LETTER from Mr.. KELLOGG.
Former Las Vegas Pastor Writes
Pleasantly 81 His homs and
Life In California.

The many friends Of the Rev. J..
+. Kellogg and family will be glad
to read the following from the gen
tlemans pen:
I'VE live in Sissin. Calf, as there
is no vacant house IN Mccloud. but
we are going to McCibud in August
and live In tent in the pines, Just
for a few weeks.
Il always thought a saw mill was
the most hopelessly lilapidated
structure on earth, but mill No. at
McCloud is a wonderful thing, several
stories high. lighted with electric
lights, with 1 "ladies' gallery" all
around. SO that they can lean over the
rail and see the human-like machin-
cry with iron arms and hands grasp
great logs and run them through
until they turn out boards and planks.
At night 1t reminds me Of wierd sec
ton Of the worlds fair as the tears
Of lights glisten through pines. Then
to make the scene more wierd. they
keep piles Of slabs nearly as big as
the Methodist church burning night
and day with men detailed to watch
them; all this is to get rid Of the
slabs.
About my work: One week go
to McCloud on Saturday, fifteen miles
over the range when preach morn
ing and evening and work in the
Sunday school in the afternoon.
.McCloud is the center and largest
one OF group of lumber camps,
smaller ones are located all over the
the valley and up the mountain
from nine to twenty miles away.
There are narrow guage railroads
running out to all these camps and
the early part Of the week, pile
into the engines and 60 out among
these camps visiting with the men
and preaching at night. ! generally
come home Wednesday to rest up
and get ready for next Sunday, which
ia altogether d;1fment. start from
home that morning and walk across
the mountain trail two and one-half
miles to a lumber camp. and saw
mill called Upton, where have or
ganized a Sunday school which
meets at 10 In the morning. take q
midday train and 80 nine miles
further up the canyon TO ancthef
mill camp, Igerma, where have or
ganized another Sunday school which
meets at 2 o'clock. There we have
preaching at $3.50 then catch anoth-
er train back again to Upton where
preach at night and then foot It home
the two and one-half miles. Tired?
Well I should remark. A different
kind Of WEAKNESS than ! used to
have. A tired body, but mind and
soul fresh as daisy"
