r. NJ. White and wife hreakfasted
with DIR. and Mrs. ]. S. Potts of this
city to-day. DIR. Potts has one oil
the ~handsomest residences in Cali
fornia and enjoys a splendid prae-
tice amounting in sum total to more
than 81 900 per month and he Is
also interested in several large busi-
ness enterprises, Misses Sallie and
Willie Potts and Miss Lena Harri-
son are visiting here.
The Murrays, Tom Coons, Jack
Frost, Charley Hablutzel and Jeter
Walthall all live here and are doing
we'll. All the Mexico people here are
thriving. When we returned to our
car we found our estate room
decorated with roses and magnolias
WITH the compliments of Murray
ano Frost" The floral offering
was highly appreciated and we are
trying to bring it home with us.
1t Santa Rosa we took supper
with DIR. Jesse, brother of Frank
Jesse, the popular Prosecuting At
torlley Of Audrain County. DR..
Jesse enjoys a fine practice and is
very popular as are his accomplished
wife and little daughter. We visited
Palo Alto and the Leland Stanford
University to-day, We saw all the
fast trotters, Palo Alto, Advertiser,
etc. Our own Robert Rysdyk looks
as good as any of them. AT Stock
ton We took a spin on the famous
kite-shaped track. We promised to
write home of what We saw and
heard here but we can't do the sub.
ject justice. We are making three
or four towns a day, travel all night,
eat four or five banquets at all hours
and it is impossible to write de.
scriptive letters. We cannot do the
country justice, even if we had the
time.
Tomorrow we take an ocean
voyage and if you do not hear from
us you may know we r sea
sick.
The drive at Montery was grand.
For twenty miles we could e the
ocean on one side and the Cedars o.
Lebanon on the other. In the
forest there are deer, buffalo, etc.
ON the ocean we saw sea lions.
DR.. Potts and wife will likely
visit Missouri this fall if the Doc
tor can get away from his practice
and other business interests.
Our headquarters while in San
Francisco is the Palace Hotel, one
of the largest and best in the world.
1t is worth going a long way to
see.
The big trees are among the other
c%uriosities. They are big but not as
big as some people claim. Among
other big products in this portion Of
the world is the champion garner;
they can almost equal the Missouri
campaign liar when talking of the
products of the State.
IN SAN FRANCISCO.
San Francisco, May 24.-When
you don't see what you want in this
city, ask for it. This describes San
Francisco briefly but fully. We
have had all kinds of weather since
we reached this state. This is a
long state and among its other won
ders might be mentioned weather.
Some portions of the state have to
be hot so you can ''raise raisins."
One Of the places where it is hot
enough to ''raise raisins" we
thought hot enough to raise the
devil himself. We wont mention
the place, as several Audrain people
are being raised there. A former
Audrain County lady sent the
editoc of the LEDGER a fine cane
to-day. We prize it very highly.
We took a short excursion on the
ocean to-day in company with G..
w. Childs, of the Philadelphia
Ledger, and Governor Markham, Of
California. We came near freezing.
We don't mean that the above
dignitaries had anything to do with
the weather. The weather here is
a product OF California. 1t is not
like that Of any other state.
The wheat fields of this state are
bigger than the big trees, big noun
tains and are almost as big as the
ocean, The mines of this state are
something wonderful. Our badges,
which are made of gold, silver and
tin, are products of this state.
Under your own vine and fig trees
you Gun dig up your gold and silver.
The gold and silver do not grow on
the trees even in this climate.
of trees reminds us that
while at J. NJ. Menefee's and DR..
Potts we had the pleasure of gath
ering adl the oranges and fruits of
kinds We wanted, and we wanted
a good deal. Mr.. Menefee uses
orange trees for fuel. The water
melons here grow so fast they pull
the vines out of the ground, and Miss
Willie Potts says she never saw
cabbages at home as big as the roses
here aid we car prove this by Miss
