ern California. Along the Sacramento
river after it comes to the level plain
country there is considerable swampy
and tooly land, also on the San Joaquin
and other streams of any note.
The climate here is well known the
world over to be all that could be
wished. During the past two weeks it
has been a little frosty nearly every
night. This morning there seemed to
be a narrow strip of fog as far away to
the east as the eye could see. Then
it began to rise and come nearer, and
in short time it turned a pale brown
color. Still little later it began to blow
and the fine dust and sand began to
spread and fill the air until the whole
upper space, or heavens, seemed to be
perfectly full of fine sand and dust and
blowing strong steady gale, which it
sometimes keeps up for two or three
days or longer. They call it Santa Anna
wind here. After it subsidies it nearly
always rains and makes the farmers
glad by insuring good crops. The sun
did not shine today.
Sugar beets promise to be a profitable
crop here if the trusts controlling sugar
don't down it. The interest in educa-
ton is growing-getting on higher,
stronger, broader plain all the time in
this state, and in time no state or coun-
try will lead it. A golden opportunity
will be offered all those who wish to
avail themselves of it.
The subject of diversified farming is
gaining interest in some localities best
suited for it, where they can get artesian
water easy and cheap, and large wheat
and barley farms are the rule in other
parts. 1 expect to get information soon
in regard to rules and regulations in this
state governing forest reserves, water
sheds, protection of timber and sheep
grazing on reserves, or public land, if
any is permitted and if so l will drop
you few lines in that direction.
Respectfully,
J. p. MARKS.

IN CALIFORNIA LAND.
Magnificent Mountains. Beautiful Cities and
Productive Farms Greet Man from Yakima.

NoRwALK, CAL, December 81, 1901.
EDITOR HERALD: l left Grants pass at
10: 80 p. M, nearly full moon, and trav-
eled through Rogue river valley. We
could see plainly all the old familiar
places. which were much improved since
last saw them. Ashland was lit up
and looked very attractive, and we could
see Mount Pitt plainly in the east.
There is great deal of beautiful scenery
in the Siskiyou mountains because it is
so rough and craggy; yet there is kind
of level plain just south and close to the
summit. We passed Mount Shasta al
ter daylight. Coupled with Castle crag
on the opposite side it looked simply
grand. 1t is the graudest and most pic
turesque canyon in the west. What the
road couldn't 60 around it went through.
We drank water at Shasta springs
none other like it-and had breakfast at
Dunsmuir, which is up to date. We be-
gan to enter the scrubby farm district at
Redding and the level plains of red dirt
and sandy gravel country at Red Bluff,
and farther south broader plains until
we passed San Joaquin valley and the
Mojave desert. The low fiat hills east
and west OF Red Bluff are partly covered
with scrub oak timber. A great deal of
the country is used for pasture. Large
wheat farms are common through to
Los Angeles. \ common team is eight
mules hitched to a gang pillow and seeder,
and many of them with an additional
light harrow which finishes the work.
Small or narrow strips of oak running in
any direction continue through the
state. Blue gum is common timber
planted here for fuel. 1t is very tall,
stands close together, is rapid grower
and very hard wood.
Sacramento and Los Angeles have
many large buildings and cement streets
and sidewalks in the main business part
and from two to four miles out. Sacra-
mento is level but Los Angeles very

fore we start over the Tehatchipin noun
tains, is an oil town and could produce
almost an unlimited quantity, but it is
nearly dead or asleep in the grip of the
trust. Tehatchipin mountain is a mar
vel, with nineteen tunnels and loop in
the railway to reach the elevation at Te-
hatchipin station. 1t is the most wonder
full exhibition OF engineering skill known.
First the road runs through a tunnel,
then bridges an abyss and finally crosses
over itself, seemingly trying to bowknot
itself. BY these devices is is brought
TO an elevation of 3,549 feet above the
plains. This is the Tehatchipin pass by
which Fremont first crossed the noun

Leila nd Powers Lecture.

Leland Powers, the mpersonator,
was greeted by a good audience Thurs
day night, an audience that paid strict
atten tion to the lecturers portrayal
of the intensive characters as given
by Dickens in his novel, David Cop
perfield. There are probably few adults
much addicted to reading who have
not at some time read this, the most
popular novel Of Mr.. Dickens, and to
those who were familiar with the
characters portrayed therein the rep
resent ations of Mr. Powers gave an ad-
ded interest. The pleasure enjoyed
by the hearers was modified to some
extent by the time that had elapsed
since they read the book and the in
terest they took in it's perusal. Those
who had but recently read the work
confess to a very enjoyable occasion in
listening to Mr.. Powers.

Two Men Killed at Hudson.

Andrew Swanson and Gus Johnson
we're instantly killed on the railway
bridge over the ST. CroiX at Hudson
Tuesday morning. They, in company
with Charles Johnson and Fred Carl
son, were crossing the bridge on
handcar when they were struck
by the freight engine pulling
train over from the east. When
discovered Carlson was on the engine
pilot, holding the dead body OF john
son. Carlson and Charles johnson
received slight injuries. 1t was snow
ing at the time OF the collision which
prevented either crew from seeing far,
and when the engineer saw the hand
car he could not stop his train as the
rails were. so slippery.
A couple of hours afterward another
accident occurred near the scene of
the first, in which the River Falls
passenger train was involved. The
passenger train was coming across the
bridge when westbound freight,
coming down the grade from the east,
heavily loaded, got beyond control and
crashed into the passenger. Both
engines were reversed or the damage
would have been more serious. The
pilots of both engines were smashed
and the passenger engine derailed.
The rails were SO slippery it was diff
cult to hold the trains. Conductor
Cornell of the passenger was the only
person injured. His hand was cut in
the conclusion.
The men Killed on the handcar both
lived in Hudson and had families.
Johnson was Al years old and Swan
son go.

prevaIenCy of Kidney Trouble.

| So prevalent and deceptive is
kidney trouble that it very often
becomes we'll advanced before it is
even suspected, therefore, it
benooves all to be. on the lookout.
Should you be Ill, or not feeling we'll,
it would be wise TO first pay attent ion
to the kidneys and ascertain if they
are the cause OF your trouble. A
simple method of finding out If your
kidneys are at fault has often been
called to the attention Of our readers
through DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
advertising in the columns of this
paper, and it is now repeated for the
benefit Of those who may be interest
ed. Viz: Fill bottle with urine, set
aside for TWEEN ty-four hours or SO, and
If it shows a brick-dust sediment or
cloudy appearance, or if the urine is
scanty or profuse, or If it is found nee
essary TO go often through the day,
or get up many times in the night,
you may be sure your kidneys need
attention. After careful inquiry we
find DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder rene
dy, is remarkably successful in the
quick relief and cure for the diseases
for which it is recon mended. There
is hardly drug store in the land that
does not keep, and recommend this
celebrated preparation for kidney,
liver and bladder troubles By special
arrangement every reader Of this pa

"Thrice doubly armed is he whose
cause is just. Eek. That fellow car
ries jag-of arms and ammunition.
He must be we'll loaded. The express
sion, "thrice doubly armed is he whose
cause is just" (''thrice' armed is he
who makes his quarrel justly recalls
the prayer of good old deacon Parks.
The church had had two services dur
ing the day, sermon at 1920 and an
other at 1:30. This service at which
the Deacon made the "breako was at
a conference meeting in the evening,
the third service OF the day. The pas
tor called on Deacon Parks to open
the evening service with prayer.
These are the opening words Of the
Deacon's prayer: 1--WE thank thee, 0
Lord, that thou hast permitted us to
reassemble here again the second
time this afternoon" That is a
tangled proposition. To be able to
wrestle with such an intricate ques-
tion as that with any probability Of
success one would need to be "thrfce
doubly armed two or three several
times, and he would finally have to
leave it TO the Lord to decide how
many times, according to the phrase
o1ogy, they had met that day.

The Frances Gerard Company,
Robert Brackett, manager, is touring
Minnesota and meeting with deserved
success. The local press Of the towns
where the entertainment has been
presented speak in terms of lavish
praise Of the company's performance.
Miss Gerard sustains her well-earned
reputation as "America's Sweetest
Ballad Singer" Miss Gerard can
sing-and distinctive and popular
feature Of her singing is that her au-
dience can readily understand what
she says. Many Of our high-class
and heightened singers seem to study
to elaborate the sound to the detri-
ment of the sense. They seem to en-
deavor to obscure the words and sem
timents Of the song that their audi
ence may have their attention direct
ed to the personality OF the singer
often emphasized in fantastic make
up-and the melody soaring into the
circuma am bient until "lost in the
great hyperion in the diapason Of a
shrek that is recognized by thunders
of applause as bowling success, but
as far as any intelligent apprehension
of the words of the song is concerned
the singer might just as well have
used Choctaw Or Chic-a-dee-dee as
that travesty on the English Ian
guage. Such singers would relieve
their auditors of great mental
strain in their endeayor to catch the
worGs of the song If these singers
would announce that they would sing
the song by pronoucing the notes in
stead Of an attempt to express the
song in elusive words. This ability
of Miss Gerard to enunciate distinct
~ the words Of songs is one OF the
strongest points of her popularity.
