most was when Arnolds informed rs
that at Cottonwood and Shingletown
he noticed posters on which were
printed in large flaming letters these
words: "At Plateau, Aug. 18th,
Reading by Miss Villas from Chicago,
assisted by the Corning Quartette at
church" We sang at church the
Sunday previous, but had no idea of
assisting at a concert and reading.
Well, the night came, the house was
packed. The reader was Hne, can't
vouch for our part, but we brought
down the house all right. We gave
them "Three Blind Mice" in a round
and "The Duke of York." and
Symonds, who is a born mimic, gave
1.-THE Cork Leg" Some of the
mountaineers as they passed our
camp that night fired several shots
and shouted, "Three cheers for
Symonds and the cork leg!" Every
one in the mountains carries a gun,
even women.
On Aug. Goth we broke camp and
started for home. We took our back
tracks by the way of Manton as far as
Joe Longs. I suppose my readers all
know Joe Long, so I won't stop to
explain. They told US In this section
that everybody knew Joe. Here we
branched off for Red Bluff, crossing
country where a grasshopper would
starve, without drop of water for
distance of thirteen miles to PAINS
Creek. We crossed the creek on a
long bridge and struck our tents in
kind of hotel. While putting up the
tents we noticed man sitting on a
log near by the house. Presently
large, muscular woman came out of
the house with an axe in her hand
and walking up to the man on the
log said in a sharp tone of voice,
"Come, sir, if you want any supper
tonight, take this axe and cut some
wood" The man, who proved to be
hobo, took the axe and followed
the big woman to the woodpile. He
knew better than to try to bluff this
woman, and few at the wood for
about one hour, when she took him
in and gave him his supper. We
kept an eye on this fellow as he slept
under tree near our tents. In the
morning he was up by daylight, but
the big woman was after him again
with the axe and rather than chop for
his breakfast he packed his bundle
and departed. He was a fair speci-
men of California tramp; he would
rather live on one meal a day than
work. After bidding our fat hostess
good-by and giving the camp up, we
were off, crossing forsaken- looking
country, and at noon came to the
Sacramento river where we took
dinner under a beautiful oak tree.
At night we camped at a little town
named Proberta. This being our last
night in the tents we gave an open
air concert and were cheered repeat
eddy by the natives.
In the morning we were off for
Corning by the way of Lehama.
Lehama is principally Chinese town.
Here Sam Lee, Corning's vegetable
man, Yop-ho-hang-twang, and other
Chinese celebrities dwell. At 11:OO
a. m. We crossed Toms Greek and
hove in sight of the Red Hills, Corn
ing, and the famous haywood Colo
MES. We passed down Almond and
Walnut streets, gave the war-whoop
and with banners flying we entered
town, after a wagon tramp of 1870
miles through the wilds of California.
