OTHER FEATURES OF CALIFORNIA.

The above title suggests that while
Iowans may be bracing themselves

the fire or communing with the coal
man. they recall only the beautiful ell
mate and orange groves as they think OF
far-away California; but the story is
not all told when glowing circulars d.
late on sunshine and seductive and spice
ladened atmosphere. For instance. here
is a little side-light that drifted into the
| dispatches of Dec. 81. 1t Is from Santa
Ana, California, a short distance south
| of Log Angeles. It would seem that the
town Is not altogether sanity in all Of
it's varied aspects. The item says: The
worst sand storm known in this district
for many years prevailed today. 1t blew
from the desert and in some streets the
sand was drifted like snow to a depth

the fruit was blown from h trees and
| the wind was so severe that walnut
trees were uprooted, windows and plate

small buildings wrecked. All trains
were delayed" Another item OF the

that MEN could not a the storm to

OF course 1t is admitted that southern
California has a delightful climate. and
many features that accompany it, but 1t
should not be understood thai it has no
drawbacks. As compared with Iowa the

In the brilliance of the affair. President
Roosevelt was i II a happy mood and
seemed to enjoy greatly the receiving of
all the diplomatic representatives of for
eign nations and his own countrymen.
To show the magnitude of the throng 1t
is stated that 1851 persons passed before
the president. This is nearly 5000 more
than passed before the president last
year. The splendor of the event is only
disclosed by referring to the details. The
uniforms of the representatives of the
foreign nations formed Respondent fea-

there was a superabundance of gold.

were not nearly so brilliant as those OF
the foreigners they added q great deal to
the attractivenesS of the occasion,
which, together with the elaborate cos

The Now Year Reception.

The incident of the day was of course
the reception Of Lieut.. Gen. Miles and
Admiral Dewey. AS the last Of the
congressional contingent filed away
there was a momentary pause. The
president turned and chatted gayly with
Mrs. Roosevelt and her assistants for
nearly a minute. and then the stately
form Of the lieutenant general COM
handing the army appeared at the en-
trance Of the blue room, and the whole
company came to rigid attention. Gen.
Miles advanced, sedately and with mill
tary bearing. He greeted his command
err in chief with grave courtesy. which
President Roosevelt accepted silently.
The meeting could not be described as
frigid on either side. 1t was a silent
salute, however. Not a word was spo-
ken. Az Gen. Miles passed on Mrs.
Roosevelt heartily extended her hand to
clasp that of the soldier, who with a
deep and cordial bow murmured his
compliments, which Mrs. Roosevelt re-
turned vivaciously. The tall form OF
the soldier hen passed down the line
and quickly disappeared from view.
Gen. Miles did not enter h east room,
where the guests were assembled. but to
show, like the gallant gentleman he is,
that he does not carry his resentments

The postal department promises to

second-class mail privileges. The great

Madden, however, promptly headed 1t
