judge to be a popular landlord and ooin-

Leaving Redding by rail at half-past
three, A. NJ, we reached Chico for break
fast at (, A. M. After breakfast, on go
ing back to the cars, / met Bernard Ku-
per, who is living at Chico. From Chi
co we went to the Junction for dinner at
half-past IL, A. M. from there to Sac
ramepto at half-past IL, Pm. Leaving
Sacramento at 1:2O p. NJ. 1 had no time
to look around and saw no familiar faces
until reaching San Francisco at s, p. M.
From Redding to San Francisco the
cars run through fields Of waving grain.
1t is grain to the right of you grain to
the left Of you +; grain to the front of you
and grain to the rear of you from the time
you start. On my journey l travelled
through not less than two hundred miles
of growing grain, extending on each side
of the road as far as the eye could see.-
A fellow passenger, who got on at Stock
ton, told me that besides this, there was
strip along the San Joaquin river one
hundred miles long and FIVE miles wide.
The general current of opinion is that
there will not be more than half a crop this
year, but there being about twice the
amount of land sown that there was last
year the yield of grain will be about the
same.
| have taken up my quarters at the
Russ House in this city. So far / have
been attending to business matters and
could not, if | wished, give any descrip-
ton Of the city further than that there
are great many houses and great many
people.
To give you an account of Trinitarians
l have met so far Saturday morning,
soon after starting out, 1 met Jas. d. May
who has been here about ten days having
his eyes treated. He is improving and
will return shortly. The same day
found ii. j. Howe and G.. NJ. Stratton
who occupy the same building. Henry
Howe is little more corpulent, but 9TH
erwise time has made no change in his
appearance. saw him only for short
while and he seems to be well satisfied
with his situation and prospects. STRAIT.
is the same he always was and it is safe
to say always will be. G. w. Gordon is
in the job printing business and prosper
ing. Charley is always glad to meet a
Trinity friend and always ready to extend
valuable favors. Johnny Cochell is in
Bacon 81 Co.'S printing Office and always
on hand to devote his spare time to old
acquaintance from the mountains. Da-
vid Kinds is in Santa Cruz running
Touring mill. Firman Kinds is married
and living at Oakland. j. A. Stewart is
living here temporarily. Sam Kreider,
at one time known to everybody in Wea-
verville, is living here. Geo. b. Jumper
and Fordyce Bates are here on business,
but will return soon. Ernst Schnabel is
keeping a saloon on California street,
near Kearney, and when / called upon
him was overrun with business, / prom
ised to call again and tell him all about
Trinity folks. Met Ira Howe for few
minutes at the Russ House. lie is still
at Santa Cruz. Tom Flanders happened
along yesterday, looking better than ever.
[ rallied Tom a little about his stock
transactions, and he didn't see exactly
where the laugh came in, but expressed
the opinion that we were entirely too well
posted in Trinity county about his affairs.
Tom wears plug hat, sports cane and
presents the appearance of having lived
in a city all his life. / don't know wheth-
er he is a regular stock sharp or not, but
| do know that Tom is not at all disposed
to cut country acquaintance.
But | must bring this hasty scrawl to a
close. There are number Of Trintari-
ans residing at the Bay and vicinity, of
whom l have heard but have not seen.
No exciting event has come within my
observation. Should l remain long
will write again. Yours Truly,
