Thursday afternoon we spent at tie
convention and were successful in
electing B. J. Price, of the Hudson
Star and Times, President of the
Association. Price is we'll known and
very popular among the Wisconsin
delegation and we all had a part in his
election. The balance of the day before
leaving we spent in looking for some
facts that would help US in locating
MaLancthon LaNigne, but our efforts
were in vain. We leave San Francisco
tonight for the beginning Of our return
trip home.
San Francisco is very active business
place of 100000 people with great future
prospects. One great thing necessary
is more railroad competition. Our stay
here has been very pleasant. We will
have more to say of this city on our
return home.

scenes of China town will ever remain
fresh in our memory. Such degreda-
ton and filth seems impossible among
people of enlightenment as these China
men appear to be. 1t is we'll worth the
time and expense Of any one who has
not yet seen the degradation and life in
| China town to visit it.
Wednesday forenoon was given to
sight seeing at the Cliff House and
General Sutro's private grounds. This
spot is one that every tourist visits. If
he failed to see these sights his visit to
| California would be in vain From the
| Cliff House balcony you can see upon
the rocks at distance of about thirty
rods hundreds of Sea Lions basking in
the sunlight Some of them are i'm
mense weighing as high as 2000 pounds.
Looking at them with field glass you
can appreciate their weight They
bark great deal and keep up a contin-
ual noise. We were told that about
100 exhibit themselves there at times.
Gen. Sutro's grounds are near the Cliff
House and are open for visitors. A
visit to the Cliff House would be in
complete without view of these ele-
CANT and attractive grounds. All the
flowers, trees and shrubbery that are
natives of this state can be found in this
garden. From these grounds you have
an excellent view of the ocean and the
| "Golden Gate" On our return to the
city we spent the balance of Wednesday
in attendance upon the convention.
| Thursday morning we were shown
through the Z. S. Mint, one of the
| largest in the country. In one vault we
were shown S1O,OOQ,000 of money all in
silver dollars put up in packages of
$1,000 each. They employ 21O hands in
this mint, forty of which are ladies.
The process of obtaining the gold and
silver from the ore is simple The ma
chinery used in converting and stamp
ing the metal before it becomes full
fiedged coin Is very unique and inter
esting. Think of one machine stamping
5000 silver dollars per hour, under a
pressure of 80 tons. We were told
that once in four years the clothing
worn by the employees, the carpets and
everything of that character is burned
so as to get the gold and silver dust that
is lost while working it up into coins.
In this manner they get thousands OF
dollars. The guide told US from clean
ing the SCOT from the chimneys they
! obtained $500. From this it appears
he dirt is valuable in this institution.

sAN FRANCISCO. MAY u, 1892.

My last letter was written you from
Monterey where we spent the Sabbath
day as quietly and in keeping with the
Lords day as if we were at home. A
more beautiful spot than the hotel "Del
Monte" would be impossible to find in
the United States, and some 90 SO far as
to say on the globe However, this last
statement may be true or not, it is so
far as our knowledge goes. They say
that Californians are the biggest liars on
the globe. This we know is not true,
for we know they could not compare
with our local townsman "NIiner Her
old" Imagine reader, if you can, a
hotel that will accommodate and room
2000 guests at one time, occupying at
least three acres of ground for a found
alton. with about one hundred acres of
land surrounding it equally on all sides.
This cut up into beautiful roadways and
walks winding about in all manner of
vavs, lined on either side with flowers,
trees and every tropical plant known to
this climate. These grounds are just
grand beyond description. The hotel
has large deep porches on every side
and story The court within the hotel
has about two acres of ground and is a
perfect garden, lovely to the extreme
At this place we took another plunge
bath in sea water in company with a
number of others. 1t was very refresh
ing and invigorating. We left Monterey
Monday morning at o'clock for San
Josa, another grand city of about $4,000
people. Here as in all other places we
were treated like kings, free rides and
drives about the city visiting all points
of interest. We visited Santa Clara
college located upon the old Mission
grounds. Here we saw Il stone cross
which was erected in 1717; we were also
shown many old ancient relics. We
visited vineyards, wineries, orchards,
gathered cherries off the trees, drank
native wines and champagne. In this
city we learned the process of making
champagne. 1t requires three years OF
time and great labor to make it.
From San Josa we went to Palo Alto

way we were prepared for the excursion
by boat on the bay from which we OBJ
tanned an excellent view Of the Pacific
Coast and harbor. Only one thing oc,
Cured, just before starting, which
marred the pleasures of the trip. A
platoon from the First California Guard
Light Battery, under Lieutenant West
phal, was stationed within the ferry
inclosure with field pieces. On the
approach of Governor Markham and
the members of his staff salute was
fired. Private Fred G. Wells had been
stationed near the muzzle of one of the
guns, and at the second shot he stag
gered and fell. The charge had struck
and shattered his left hand, and the un-
fortunate young fellow was removed to
the Receiving Hospital with all speed
His hand was amputated and his beard
and eye brows burned, while his face
was blacl1ened by the powder.
One Of the largest steamers were
chartered for this occasion called the
"Ukiah." The boat was necessarily
crowded, but the excellent entertain
ment we received and the refreshing
breeze fully made up for the crowded
| condition of the boat. Refreshments
were served and dancing took place al
the pavilion. Speeches, singing and
social converse were interspersed dur
ing the refreshment hour. This boat
ride will be remembered as one of the
| pleasant events of the trip. The party
returned to the city at five o'clock.
That evening we were one of a com
pany of ten who engaged a guide to
show us through China town. 1t will
be impossible for us to tell you what we
saw, for a great many things were seen
that would not look well in print Per
nit us to say however that you can see
anything the morbid taste of the lowest
could want to see or expect. \ trip
| through China town will convince any
visitor that a human being can be the
| lowest creature on earth. We Went
through their church, theatre, gambling
dens two and three stories under
ground, stores, common and high toned
homes, saw how they live and exist
Went through their variety theatres
saloons, houses of iniquity, etc. In fact
the guide told us we went through the
worst parts of that city, where oftimes
ones life is worth but little. While
underground we passed through aper-
lures and openings that were just large
enough for the writer to squeeze
through in stopped position. The

the noted farm and university of Leland
Stamford the great millionaire of this
state. After going through the college
buildings, library, etc, a full account OF
which we shall give our readers later,
we visited the stables containing the
valued horses which have worldwide
reputation. The first horse which at
tracted our attention was "Palo Alto''
who has a record of 2:0S3 and is valued
at 5000, 900. Well he is grand looking
animal, but imagine his value. Why
it makes a poor man blind to think OF
it. The next was "Advertiser" and
Electricity" two-year-olds, with rec
ords of PIG and 2:26 respectively, val
ued at $135 900 and 100000 each. We
next called on 'Bluebird," a two-year-
old filly which promises to make a sur
passing record. We decided that we
would not purchase any of these ami
mails but would wait and buy one of two
minute record. While here we thought
of our friend McNally who has quarters
on our local fair grounds. Here he
would have been delighted. On this
farm they have over three hundred
head of only blooded stock. They re-
quire one hundred keepers to look after
them.
The Stamford farm consists of $500
acres of land and lies in beautiful val
| ley. The stables are in keeping with
the value placed on the horses. After
| three hours spent on these grounds we
repaired to our cars and were soon on
our way to San Francisco where we ar
rived Monday night at 6 o'clock. We
registered at the hotel 'Pleasanton, y
one of the best in the city. We remain
here until Friday morning when we
leave for Portland, Oregon We are to
be initiated into the beauties of China
town tonight and will give you our i'm,
pressions in our next letter.
MAY 26.
Our time in this city is rapidly draw
ing to a close. After three days Of sight
seeing and rest at this delightful hoteI
we return to our cars to continue oul
Journey through California and our re-
turn home via Portland, Tacoma, Seat
tie, Spokane, Salt Lake City, Helena tc
ST. Paul While our trip to San Fran
cisco via the Santa Fe system,one of the
best in the west, has been an interesting
and profitable one, we look forward tc
the return trip to be fully as promising
of rich results. My last letter was writ
ten on our arrival here Monday. After

The following letter from Geo. B.
Van Norman, of Milwaukee, who is one
of the largest and best known Stock
Commission Merchants in the west, is
worthy of perusal: II have been an
intense sufferer for several years from
a stomach trouble, which the doctors
called Catarrh of the Stomach. [ have
tried the various well-known remedies,
and was treated six months by prom
inent New York specialist, but found
no permanent relief until | commenced
taking Septicide, which, in my case, has
proven itself to be all that is claimed
for It. I have also seen it used with
perfect success by others, in SO many
different complaints, that I consider it
a perfect family remedy. l would not
