New Court Ia, 70.

The vote on tho w ,ourt house
proposition was q If ing to avery
well wishsr and pat ytic citizen OF
Cole county. Tho overwhelming
vote In favor Of a new court house
polled in Jefferson City, will give
the country people an idea how ear
nestly they favored the proposition.
And even the country peoE lie voted
much more favorably than they did
a few years ago when the pi OPPOSITION
was submitted. An insp ection of
u court house will satisfy any rea-
sonable taxpayer that a new build
ing had become absolutely necessary.
Every record in the county W ss liable
to be destroyed by fire. The vaults
are valueless aud unsafe, the build
ing cracked, and its condition in a
measure dangerous. It was crafty.
ing that the country people voted as
favorably as they did. They will
see that the taxes have not teen in
creased aud that the records Of the
county are safe, and will themselves
feel a pride in the new building,
whom completed.

An Interesting letter.
HorrL ARCADIA,

HOTEL ARCADIA,
Santa Monica, GAL, Dec. 8, 1895.
Dear Editor Thinking perhaps
a line or 30 from a Jefferson City
boy, as far west rs m can get in
this great western country without
swimming, would be Of interest to
you and the readers Of your paper,
I will try and tell you Of my first
impression u the "briny deep"
This beach, whose name is at the
top Of this letter head, is twenty .one
miles distant from Los Angeles, and
is the seaport Of that thriving little
western city. 1t takes just forty
FIVE minutes IN ride it, and to say
that I am delighted with my ride is
expressing it mildly. As the train
neared here, and as my eyes first be.
held the ocean, I at first thought 1t
was a " mirage" which one is acous
toned to seeing while crossing the
plains, but after the train stopped !
could hear the roar, and / then knew
it was the ocean itself. Here, where
l am writing, l can look out and see
the waves as they break one over the
other and fall upon the beach, which
is within a stones throw. just be-
fore lunch a large. masted bark hove
in view, and the clerk kindly asked
me to look through the field-glass.
and it brought it quite within good
view. l was told it was twenty five
miles away and was bound for San
Francisco, some 300 miles above
here. There is a coast, line steamer
due here at 2:30 p. m, and ] am
anxiously awaiting her arrival, and
as she touches at this port 1 will
avail myself of the opportunity and
will board her.
To see the bathers is quite a
novel Sight to a "landlubber like
myself, 1t is just like a day in
June, and every one seems to be
taking advantage of it and enjoying
it to their hearts content. I took a
hot saltwater bath just before din
ner, and enjoyed it immensely.
The water is pumped from the ocean
and is heated by steam.
/ leave tonight for Los Angeles,
and will leave there at S:l5 p IN, On
my return trip across the plains. I
came out by the southern route, via
Ell Paso, Texas. and will return by
the northern route. While at Ell
Paso a party of us crossed the Rio
Grande river to J%uarez, Mexico, and
witnessed a real bull fight excuse
me, once is enough for me, l don't
want to see any more. 1t is the
most brutal and shocking sight l
ever Witnessed, and 1 for one will
say "Amen" when they become q
thing OF the past.
AS I have written enough for the
present, and 1 know you will think
/ have, ! will cease my scribbling.
With my best wishes and kindest
regards, I remain yours truly,
Will n, CARTER.
p. S.-While at Sorocco, N. NJ,
I met Judge II, b. Hamilton, and
1 was quite glad to see him; he is
looking natural as ever, but just O
little older. He asks to be remem-
bered to you and all Of his friends.
