The Southern Stock Company.

Saratoga, being off the line of rail-

enjoying a rare treat this week in the
performances of the Southern Stock

A Visit u Pacific Coast.
Cooks Ranch,
March. 9, 1902.

' ''h
Having just returned from n trip
10 the Golden Gate and thinking a
description of the scenes of my trav-
els would prove interesting 10 the
readers of your paper, I will, in so far
as possible, briefly note the most in
teresting of the many scenes and in
cidents encountered by myself in
travelling from Wyoming to Califor-
mia. Leaving Walcott the 23rd of
February, on one of the through
trains of the U. p. system, quite Il
novel : /. affair for a Platte Valley
ranchman,) it required but three days
until | arrived at San Diego, the most
southern city in California. Stop
ping in San Diego seven days and
having little to do, | visited the Ar
onaldo Beach Hotel, one of the larg-
est and best hotels in the world, CON
tanning 800 rooms. At the time of
my visit the rush of tourists and WISH
tors was so great that one was unable
to procure accommodations.
OF course, | visited the ostrich farm
near San Diego and can assure you
there is n vast difference between
these birds and a Wyoming sage hen.
The kick of an ostrich is like hat of
a Missouri mule just knocks you out
completely.
The land and Domain of President
Diaz contained charms sufficient to
induce me to pass the boundry.
While in Old Mexico | obtained some
specimens of pottery, which are very
curious to look upon and several
other small articles, such as tourists
generally seek while in the land of
Montizumas.
Everything has an end and after
having spent a great portion of my
leave of absence in Southern Califor-
MIA, started for San Francisco by the
Coast railway. When we have oran-
ges in this country we consider them
luxuries; here, in this land of sun
shine and flowers, one can see hun
dred and thousands of acres of the
golden fruit on either side of the
railway. The orange belt extends
from San Diego, in the southern part
OF the state, some two hundred miles
north, or about on a parallel with
Los Angeles. Los Angeles, to my
notion, is the coming city of the Pa
chic coast. Leaving Los Angeles for
San Francisco passed through the
far-famed San Joaquin Nalley. Here,
IN the neighborhood of San Francis
co, some forty or fifty miles, is to be
seen a valley in which everything in
the line OF fruits and vegetables seem
to grow In abundance and | am con
vlnced this would be an ideal place in
which to live. had but little time
to spare in San Francisco, one day,
consequently could not sit in judge
ment, but believe it to be n of most
progressive and up-to-date cities in
these United States, and the coming
metropolis OF the West.

bound, l passed through Stockton, Il
thriving inland city, and through Il

PRESS ARTISTS SHOW
SOME CLEVER WORK
Newspaper Folk Entertained Their
Friends at Private View of
Pictures.

Newspaper people, local artists and
a large number of people interested in
art, attended the private view yester-
day of the first annual loan and sale
exhibition of the Press Artists league
held in the ordinary of the Ryan hotel
Three st. Paul newspaper cartoonists,
George Rehse, Percy Cation and Tom
Thurlby, have contributed to the ex
hibit number of their cartoons which
have appeared from time to time in
the local papers. In addition to his
cartoons, Mr.. Thurlby also has on eX-
hibition number of sketches of heads,
some of them fancy heads, but the
majority sketches of well known men.
But by far the larger part of the eX-
hibition is made up of the work Of
Eastern book and magazine illustra-
tons. Black, Remington, Penfield,
Blackfield, Gilbert, Stanslaw, Mrs. La
than, Lucas and others whose work is
well known to magazine readers, We're
contributors to the exhibition.
George M. Baxter, president of the
Press Artists league, is in charge of
the exhibit, which will be open to the
general public today and tomorrow.
The league was formed six years ago,
and includes in it's membership all the
we'll known magazine illustrators and
the cartoonists of the country. Nearly
all the work yesterday was in black
and white-pen and ink sketches, pen
Gil sketches, etc. There were some
very good wash drawings, one by Luz
cas-, "The Elephant Trap" and one by
Hencke, "a Straight Aim" being espe-
cially admired. De Lipmans, "a
Christmas Ballad" was a rough draw
ing for magazine cover. Mrs. Will
son, formerly Mrs. O'Neill Latham, ex-
hibits a number of her sketches which
have appeared from time to time in

eRIsT OF THE POLITICAL MILL.

Patrick Murphy, Democratic cand1-
date for nomination for sheriff, looks
upon his chances at the primary elec-
ton with optimistic eyes. Mr.. Murphy
and his friends have made vigorous
campaign, and yesterday announced
that they were satisfied with the can
vass. Mr.. Murphy says the business
interests of st. Paul are behind his
candidacy, and that while many OF his
friends will not be able to record their
votes for him at the primary election,
on account of the partisan ballot, that
he will be nominated, and if nominated,
be elected easily.
It Is rumored in Republican circles
that Paul Martins candidacy for NOM
ination for register of deeds is not all
that it seems. Mr.. Martin has recently
returned to ST. Paul and the Repub-
lican wiseacreS claim that he has no
hope of landing the nomination, but is
again a candidate, as ne was last
spring, to get himself before the vot-
ers preparatory to breaking into the
municipal fight for a good thing two
years hence.
Miss Lillian B. Hayes, who traces her
ancestry directly to the Mayflower or
whereabouts and who has always been
a Republican, feels that she has been
misrepresented by The GLE b. e. Miss
Hayes is a resident of Austin and a
candidate for county superintendent of
schools for the first time.
r he Globes offense lies,
according to Miss Hayes, in
intimating that she had been faint
ed with the heresy of Democracy and
had been candidate before, which
might be construed into an unwar-
ranted suggestion of the lady's age. IT
r h q Gl @ b was guilty, as Miss Hayes
charges. it was piece of ungallantry
entirely unprecedented and h e

RETURN TO LOST ART.
Candidates Send Thousands of Per
sonaI Letters to Voters.


The primary election law has
brought into play new methods of
angling for elusive party nominations,
and the coming campaign will I'M
doubtedly show some innovations in
campaign methods.
The candidate seeking preferment
at the primary election finds that the
first essential of his campaign for
nomination is not as in former days, a
hold upon party leaders or an arrange
ment with other candidates for the
delivery of certain local followings in
a convention, but an acquaintance with
the people. He must get himself before
the rank and file of his party, and
that in the most favorable light.
Scores of methods, most Of them old
or notifications of old methods, have
been employed in the primary cam
paign just drawing to a close, which
will relegate nearly 100 anxious citi-
zens to the political discard. Printers
ink has been used with a freedom
never before known. Half-tone repro
auctions of candidates photographs
confront the eye at every street corner
and lamp lost. The newspapers have
been utilized in a degree entirely sur
prising, in that candidates have cheer
fully paid for what they formerly con-
sidered it the duty Of party papers to
give.
Letters both personal and circular
have also been very popular with can
didates and have probably had some
effect. Most Of the personal letters
sent out by candidates have been dig
nified, and many expositions of the
candidates claims or alleged claims on
the voters support and straightfor-
ward requests for the same. Some OF
nn
mails have been flooded with them,
have followed closely the general plan
of all anonymous letters, scurrilous in
the extreme, and have probably work.
ed against the interests they were call
culated to advance.
The personal letters have been sent
out by thousands, and in majority
of cases they have attained the dig
nifty of real letters, sealed and vouch-
ed for with 2-cent stamps. The fol-
lowing, which is part Of the letter
sent by H. P. Hall to 1000 voters, is
a fair sample of the character of all
the personal epistles.
.I am a candidate for the office OF
clerk of the district court OF Ramsey

The st. Paul custom house contrib
utes no small addition to the income
of the federal government. The juris-
diction of Collector John Peterson ex-
tends over the entire state, with the
exception of the relatively small ter
ritory drained by the waters flowing
into Lake Superior, for which the Gus
toms collections are made at the Du-
luth custom house.
Importing Business Grows.
Arthur w. Lyman, Mr.. Peterson's
chief clerk, yesterday furnished the
following statistics of the collections
at st. Paul during the same period
covered by the figures already given
for the internal revenue office:
s June ei 80. Amt e June Gyms 80. Amt.
1898 ..$211 ,407. 5l1901 ......$S27 $50 oS
1900 $50. 645, III 81
"These totals" said Mr.. Lyman,
"give the history of the customs COL
lections under the Dingley tariff, that
law having gone into effect by the sig
nature of President Mckinley on July
"a, 1897. The only change in our work,
resulting from the war with Spain, was
due to the special tax on tea, at 10
cents per pound, and this will be abol-.
ished after Jan. l.
1.-THE figures 1 have given are there
fore fair index of the growth of the
importing business in this state dur
ing the last five years. AS the customs
duties are levied chiefly upon luxuries,
these totals tell q very striking story
of the increase of wealth in the state,
and point to the general prosperity en-
jcyed by the people of this great agri-
cultural and industrial commonwealth.
Great Is the Northwest.
"But they tell more than this, for the
increase of nearly 600 per cent in i'm
port duties within five years would not
be possible, but for the fact that the
Twin Cities are profiting by the rapid
development of the Northwest. Our
great wholesale houses are importing
for territory which is filling up with
prosperous people"
The Duluth custom house, according
to Mr.. Lyman, averages about $4,000
per annum for the last five years COL
lections. In addition to its income from
the revenue departments, the govern
ment, of course, derives large sums
from the post offices of the state, but
of these no statistics are available. The
postal receipts, however, are wholly
devoted to the operation of the postal
service, and contribute nothing to-
wards the general expenses of the gov
eminent at Washington.

agem3nt is good in every respect, but this
cannot be said by any means of all of
them. There are some 800 dairies which
supply milk to the city homes and res
taurants and I am going to give my per-
sonal attention to the whole bunch.
"Of those we have already inspected,
some Were found to be wholly lacking in
facilities for the cleanly stabling of the
cows. The most common defect Is the
want of proper drainage and ventilation,
and as a result the stables and yards
are little better than sinks, the condition
of which must necessarily make 1t impos-
sible for the proprietors to furnish pure
milk to their customers. More than
dozen such establishments have already
been found.
"Our method of procedure on discover
ing such violations of the law is to order
an immediate cleaning up of the place,
the renovation of the. COW barns, with
embarrassing and drainage of the prem
ises. If the warning is neglected, we do
not lose much time in bringing the Of
tenders into court. There they seldom
fail to receive an effectual lesson. This
course has been adopted with number
of farmers in different parts of the state,
and We will follow it in dealing with the
proprietors of filthy dairy establishments
