A LETTER..
New Whatcom, w ash. all

Editor Graphic:
1 suppose you will be some
what surprised to hear from me but 1
have a good many friends who want to
hear of what we are doing and how we
stood the trip. We left Kinsley on
Monday night, April 4 and had to lay
over at Pueblo, Col. about four hours
in order to make connections with the
Rio Grande. We saw some fine coun-
try in Colorado and a great many
young orchards. We went through
Grand Canyon and saw some of the
finest scenery. We then went through
the Utah desert and it was a hard
looking country. We went through
Salt Lake City and saw the Mormon
temple which is a magnificent edifice.
We made our next lay-over at Ogden.
We walked around to see the city and
found it to be a very pretty place.
We crossed a portion of Idaho and
it was a desert too. We saw some
good lands in Oregon, and everything
was greening up fine. We had to lay
over at Portland, and we took look
at the city. We arrived at Seattle at
6 o'clock Friday evening and took the
boat for New Whatcom where we ar
rived Saturday morning at 7 o'clock,
and it was raining in good shape.
We found Will all right and doing
a good business. We have had three
rains since we arrived and the rest OF
the time fine weather. We feel the
cool mornings and nights as we are
not arclimated. Fisher and myself
took cold, but we are all right now.
| we went out to MIR. Davis. WILLIS
father-in-law, last Wednesday and
found them hard at it in the shingle
business. They cut 40 to so thousand
a day and it is a small mill. They gel
S1.471 per thousand for the best and
S1.32 for the kind we get in Kansas.
Mr.. Davis took me out to show me
a tree and I climbed up on it snd step
ped so steps, SO the tree was about 26(
high. 1t was about feet at the base
as near as 1 could tell, and they hae
it cut into logs each 20 feet long from
the base up; the rest was not cut. Thu

fire, hut it makes good shingles ant

In 1883 my wife went east, and was
