\ \ DIR. Haryielle has won a prize
and from all we can learn is as worthy
of 1t as men ever are of lovely women.
He enjoys a large practice in his native
city of St. Louis, where he stands high
as a gentleman and as a physician"
Henry l.. Simerman has safely ar
rived in California. Under date of
April 2Sth he sends the editor a letter
from Los Angeles. Copyright or no
copyright, we take the liberty of max
Ing the following extracts from the
aforesaid letter, which we are certain
will be quite interesting to Mr.. Sinner
mans many friends here. 81 am here;
hsve been since the Goth, riding around
seeing the wonders of this country.
This is the most delightful country l
ever had the good fortune to drop into.
The surface of the earth here is liter
ally covered with flowers. With the
royal palm trees and flowers in the
front yards and around the dwellings,.
and along the boulevards, avenues and
streets, it certainly looks a paradise.
You should never be satisfied until you
enjoy the pleasure of seeing it. For
several hundred miles before you ar
rive here, the railroad is lined with
the most beautiful flowers, az far as
you can see. The snow-topped noun
tains on either side OF the road seem to
be about two or three miles away, and
are at least fifty miles distant. After
you leave FL Paso you strike the long
valleys and run between mountains for
many miles. The road gradually rls-
es until you are $500 feet above sea lev
ell. Coming through Arizona we cross
ed a steel bridge 327 feet above water,
and $500 feet long. The train slowed
going over so l had a good view OF the
bridge. Stout's creek bridge looks
small in comparison. They have many
beautiful parks here. l have only Wis
tied East Lake and West Lake and
Central Parks. Central is a great
loaing place; you find people here
from all over the world; this is a sum
mer and winter resort. This city only
claims 120, 900 resident people. I will
bet they have street cars and au'
tomobiles and bicycles than any place
l ever saw. We passed through Col
ton coming here, but / did not see any
of our Ironton folk. Will go around
and see them when get through here
I followed a Masonic funeral the Other
day to the finest cemetery / aver saw
I am going up to San Francisco wher
they launch the Ohio. There will b'
a large crowd there. The distance
from here by rail is 4S0 miles; fare
SIP so; by steamer, $7.35, berth and
meals furnished. 1t costs something
to travel in California. Living is no
as high here as in St. Louis. You Cal
get a furnished room here from fft.
cents a week up. Meals at lunch
houses, ten cents up. L have a well
furnished room-better thon any room
in Ironton-for $3.50 per week. 9Th
lunch rooms here are not in saloons.
You may hear from me again when
get better acquainted. Yours, in Cal
ifornia."
