SARATOGA LETTER,
Correspondence OF the Ledger.

Correspondence OF the Ledger.
SARATOGA, n. u, August 81
There IS 40 truer SAYING than zone
half of the people do not know how
the other half live We are western
in u education, habits and mode of
living, but eastern in feelings. To
many OF Us the customs of the people
here might seem odd, different from
our own, but they enjoy life here.
The farmers have fine residences,
large barns work is carried on with
ease and profit. The country is beau
t'ful, cool and healthy, with running
streams of clear water, filed with fish
and eels. During the summer season
Saratoga is a miniture world within
itself Here you see the richest
dresses that are made, and the finest
coaches and carriages that money
can buy, from the dog-cart to the
Iallvho coach with its four horses
footmen, bugleman and riders on the
outside, while the coachman rides
within. 1t Is here you see some of
the fastest horses. VIM. H. Wander
bit spends much of his time here,
and drives out daily. He has large
interests in the States Hotel and other
property. Gould, Sage, Lori!lard, |
and many others of note meet here
to manipulate the stock market One
cannot get lonesome when there is
much Of lite-something new and
of interest every hour. The hotels
and boarding houses are all full. The
General Union and Congress
Hall each have a band of music to
their guests. The hops are
we'll attended in the evening, and the
display OF diamonds is superb. There
5 no greater attraction than the races,
hey commence at noon each day
are we'll attended. All bet on
heir favorite horses. The most ex- :
,ltlng one Is the hurdle race and
teepIe-chase. Often as many as ten =
|yeis start at lightning speed overt
he hedges. fences and bitches, with I
hances largely in favor of horse or
being killed before the chase is
ndcd.
The cool evenings and chilly nights
em'nds us OF the approaching au-
INN, when we must give up the
INNER pleasures and return to our
nsiness again. A visit to Lake Len .
lie, a few more days here, a short 6
me in New York City, must close h
ar summer vacation. 1t has brought
health, strength and new vigor;
'd what is a few hundred dollars to I,
who has been on the long side of
ain and short side of stocks for the
'st three months? Hoping you are tn
wing as cool and pleasant weather Sc
we have, we will say goodbye for -
e present. J. W. C.. g.

Crude Oil as Fuel.

The Pacific Coast Oil Company
are now taking the product of all
the wells In the Sespe. They haul
the crude oil to Newhall, from which
place it is taken In tank cars all
over the Pacific Coast. This oil ia
being used principally for fuel, and
the greatest demand for 1t comes
from mining localities In Nevada,
where the wood is exhausted. The
oil is an excellent substitute, being
much cheaper than wood, and in
fact, many engineers prefer it to
wood. This is new use for coal
oil, but one which should be en-
couraged in every way, for If we
can make profitable use OF our oil
product, tho wealth of our county
will be materially increased. Mr..
FELTON, is the gentleman who is
