county to write them my opinion of the western country, I will dc so through the columns of your valuable paper.
 l travelled over the Burlin gton Route from Kansas City to the Puget Sound, through Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wy oming, Montana, Idaho, and Western Washington. On all this great stretch of country I saw no farming country at all and not much of anything else except sage brush and sand.
 On Oct. ?, 1903, I landed at Everitt, a nice little town on Pu- get Sound, where things appear ed quite lively. Some farming is done there, but mostly gard ening and fruit raising. Next l landed at 8 little place called Burlington. 1 never shall forget the sights l saw there. I don't know how l got to the place and scarcely how I got away. The streets were laid out so you did not have to go over logs and stumps, but around them. In this section of the country spent nine dreary months, five months of which time I never saw the sun but few times. It was raining every time l stuck my head out, and I was told that moss would be growing over my back if 1 staid there a year and as moss was growing over al- most everything else I was in- clined to beleiveit, so l took my family and boarded the train for Southern California, travelling through some good country in Western Oregon. The extreme northern portion of California is the toughest country I ever saw till Sacramento Valley is reach ed and from there on to San Francisco is good country. I crossed the bay in the largest boat in the world and stayed one night in the Golden Gate city.
 Next we landed at Paso Rob- les, two hundred miles south, passing through the garden spot of the world.
 Paso Robles is nice clean little city of about 20O0 popula- tion and is one of the noted health resorts of California. People come here from all parts of the country for the healing waters. We have good schools and churches of all denomina- tions. It is in farming and stock raising country, wheat being the principal crop. Fruits of all kinds grow we'll here. I have done as we'll here as I have ever been, but after all, when you come to figure up everything old Arkansas is pretty hard to beat. Very respectfully,
 J. w. RAMSEY.

here Monday in J. P. court, Cunningham & Diamond, the real estate firm, sought to recov- CT S1OO off of Josh I've, which the plaintiffs claimed was due them for a commission from the sale of certain lands for I've. The real estate men found the buyer, introduced him to I've, who proceeded to close up the deal himself. The plaintiffs got judgment for $40, but appealed to circuit court inasmuch as they were not satisfied with anything less than the full commission.
