The majority of cel.-.s are very inn
properly ventilated, and the length Of
time for keeping milk therein varies
on nearly all farms, says the Philadel-
phia Record. The success in the cream
cries is due to the observance of n
proper degree of temperature, and uu-
til farmers become more observing of
that point they will continue to have
difficulties. One of the obstacles is
uncleanliness in the stables as well as
in the milk houses. The regulation of
the churning is as nothing compared
with the essential requisites of prop
erly keeping the places and utensils
in the best condition. The water, how
ever, is the source of the greatest dam
ger. 1t has been demonstrated by ac-
tual experiment that the germs of dis
ease existing in impure water are car
ried without change into the milk
where they rapidly multiply and cause
accommodation

marvel of engineering skill. The
steepests part of the ascent is made
by cable-car, and the extreme sum-
nit itself, is reached by / horseback,

Alpine Tavern, the terminus of the

hours at Alpine Tavern, and returning
to Los Angeles early in the evening.
A Submarine Garden.
Another trip which no tourist should
fail to take is visit to Catalina is
land, % miles off the coast Of Califor-
mia. The island is, indeed, a pearl in
the Pacific ocean, being % miles long
and containing $4,000 acres. 1t is only
three and one-half hours from Los An
geles, the trip being made by rail to
San Pedro harbor, and then by steam
er to Avalon, where there Is fine
hotel and where in the summer time
there is tent city Of several thousand
people enjoying the delightful climate
of this beautiful place. A feature OF
this place is the submarine gardens, as
seen deep in the water Of the harbor,
through glass bottomed boats. We had
supposed before visiting Catalina is
land that this was a good deal Of a
fake, being used mainly as an advertis-
ing scheme to attract the tourist. Our
surprise was as genuine as 1t was en-
joyable to find that the submarine gar
dens are a fact and Of themselves
among the exceedingly interesting
things to be seen by the tourists in
this section. The water in the Pacific
ocean at this point is marvelously clear
and the plant and animal life, as clear
ly revealed to the naked eye in TWEEN
ty fathoms of water, afford an idea Of
the marvellous beauties of ocean life,
such as can not be obtained anywhere
else in the world. One can gaze and
gaze for hours at the ever-varying
beauties of the submarine gardens
and almost every minute see some

thing new and marvelously beautiful.
At certain seasons Of the year there
is glorious fishing at this point, and
there are herds of wild goats in pori
tions Of the island which afford splen-
did sport for the huntsman. The seals
& In this vicinity, which are protected by
law, are tame, and come close to the
shore, where they can be seen at al
most any time. They have great
sport with dogs on the beach and play
with them for hours at time. Cata-
lima island is not only delightful spot
for the tourist to visit, but is favor
lite resort for the residents of southern
California, who go there during the
summer season for rest and recrea-
ton.
Full of Iowa People.
Southern California is full Of Iowa
people, and one can not walk along the
streets of Los Angeles without meet
ing some one from home, who is Wis
iting here. or some resident who for
merly resided in Iowa, and who not
withstanding his love for his new
home. has lost none OF his affection
for the old homestead, which he al
most always declares is 'after all the
greatest and best state in the union"
Iowa does not have the winter eli
mate Of southern California, but it has
the most productive soil on earth, and
if ons can enjoy a few weeks in Cali
fornia in the winter and run away
from home to the seaside or mountain
for few weeks in summer, we are in
elined to believe that Iowa presents
the most attractive place in the world
in which to make permanent home.
+ Certainly we do not wonder that
people who can do SO, come to Cali
fornia for the winter months. We re.
peat, what we have already said, that
southern California makes good repre-
sentation as to the climate at this
season Of the year. There is no SNOW,
no sleet, no bitter winds; instead soft
skies, sunshine and semi-tropical veg.

beginning to wake up and that now
about two hundred young men are be-
ing educated in American colleges and

Future Of China.
@Some day, China will wake up"
says Mr.. Yuen "and will take it's place
among the powerful nations OF the
world. Gradually the people are be-
coming more enlightened and while
the process may be slow 1t is sure.
When the people realize the power
they may have and with vast, prac-
tically undeyeloped country, and open
their ports to the commerce of the
world, China will make just as rapid
strides towards civilization as did
Japan"
The Empress Dowager.
According to Mr.. Yuen the empress
dowager has been largely instrumental
in keeping China from driving the Rus
slams out of the country. He thinks
that the place for woman is not at

Predicts Japanese Victory.s
Mr.. Yuen is confident that the laps
will win and says, THE Japs have a
splendid navy, well trained soldiers
and plenty of money. A Chinese gem
eral offered few months ago to take
the Chinese army and drive the Rus
SLAMS from Manchuria if he was given
the authority to do SO. It is certain
that when the time comes the army Of
China will be at the disposal of the
Japanese generals and the victory will
be with the Japs just as sure as 1t
would be with America If any nation
should come over here and try to sub
due the country"

many other wonderful scenes in this
vicinity but of less Importance.
Twenty miles farther south is the
Lower geyser basin, containing about
forty square miles, seventeen first
class geysersat and nearly 700 hot
springs and the great Paint Pot. This
paint pot is 40x60 feet and is constant
ly boiling. The mud is about the con-
sistency of thick mortar. 1t boils up
in large bubbles and just before and
after the bubbles break hundreds of
flowers are mounded, beautiful to be-
hold. Due east Of this less than one
mile. is the Fire-hole lake. In the
east end of this lake is one of the most
wonderful and beautiful scenes to be
found in the world @A
A Blaze Of Water.
There seems to be blaze of water
about six feet below the surface of the
water. 1t is in fact body of gas held
in shape by the Omnipotent hand. 1t
appears about three to five inches long
and seems to flicker at the top like a
torch light and one is apt to think that
he is looking at real fire. This fire is
beautifully tinted with blue. This won
deful scene with other great and unus-
ual sights is not to be seen by the trav-
eler if the trip is taken with the hotel
system or the Wyllie permanent
camps. 5.r @
Five beautiful colored springs all
connected as one have five different and
distinct colors, up to certain very no.
ticeable lines. These springs are beau
tiful beyond description. Here also is
located Buffalo Spring which contains
the carcass of a buffalo, Fire hole Pool
and the Great Fountain Geyser.
We then proceed to the upper geyser
basin distance of about ten miles.
In this basin We, have twenty-six first
class geysers and over 400 hot springs
in less than one square mile. This is
the most wonderful locality on the face
Of the earth. y The greatest gushers in
the world are here. Old Faithful plays
every seventy minutes, ejecting a
column of water 100 feet high. There
are many other great and wonderful
scenes here.
Yellowstone Lake.
WeHIy ulliSS SdSI is SllOWSIOuS
lake. Along this drive we have beau
tiful water falls. lakes, and some Of
the finest mountain scenery in the
world. Yellowstone lake is fifteen by
twenty miles in size but owing to it's
peculiar shape it his nearly 100 miles
shore line. Its altitude is nearly 81
900 feet.
From this point we travel nineteen
miles to Lake Outlet. Then we go
north sixteen miles to Grand Canyon,
passing many hundreds of beautiful
and wonderful scenes. In fact every
mile is achange of scenery and in
tensely interesting. We have about
sixty geysers, hot springs and paint
pots. Here you can catch your fish
and cook it without removing it from
the hook.
On this road we have the natural
bridge, mud geysers, mud volcanoes,
sulphur mountains, Yellowstone Rap

her attitude towards China has been
that of a tyrant. Chinese officers have
been imprisoned upon the slightest
pretext and given their liberty only
upon their promise to aid Russia in
every way possible. Russia has failed
also, to keep It's promise to China.
s China Powerless.
China has no navy. to speak of and
but little money and has been power
less to prevent encroachment upon her
territory. But for the interference of
other powers believe my countrymen
would have long since have driven the
Russians from Manchuria. Why should
we not wish to see Japan win when it
means driving from our country our
worst enemy. The Russians were
pushing farther into China every day
and with their armed soldiers forcing
our people to pay them money and
property.
Chinese Will Help.
1.-THE Japs are progressive and far
seeing people. They would not have
gone into the present war il they had
not known that they were sure Of the
support of China if they needed it. OF
course This mas not been declared pub
licly but l believe 1t to be true. China
has now about 10000 trained soldiers,
versed in the use of the gun. When
it comes time Japan can have as many
of these troops as it wants. The Chi
nese can also take care of the railway
and prevent Russia from pushing
troops as it wants The Chinese can
also take care of the railway and pre-
vent Russia, from pushing troops into
the frontier in this way"
Need Young Men,
Mr.. Yuen states. that what China
needs is younger men for the higher
positions. The progress of the coun-
try has been retarded he says by the
extreme conservatism of the older
men. They have good heads

the Yellowstone river, of which Tai
mage says, Hung up and let down
and spread abroad, are all the colors
OF the land, sea and sky" Colorists of
tnote,tell us that there isnot one shade
OF tint or color but what is found here
A noted Japanese speaking of this
district says, "You tell me that my
country is the land of the rising sun,
but there is the land of all the setting
suns OF all the yesterdays"
DR.. Wayland Hoyt says, SIT seems
that the rainbows of the heavens have
dropped here and here they dwell en-
clrcllng you with their grandeur"
Bottom of Canyon.
One of the most, if not the most
imposing scenes is to visit the bottom
OF the canyon below Great Falls. This
place is now accessible by good
foot trail just below the falls on the
south side of the canyon. This trip
costs one dollar and is the most valu-
able trip in the park. The falls seen
from below seem twice or three times
as high and the canyon seems three
times as steep, while all other beauties
are improved many times. Down in
the bottom of this canyon you will
find hundreds of hot springs and few
small geysers. You should be sure to
visit the canyon after the sun goes
behind the timber in the evening for
the scene is much improved then.
5fiW We. then go north over the very top
of Mt. Washburn, 10000 feet in alti-
tude. Here we have forty-three noun
tain peaks in the park with attitudes
10000 feet or over, with many other
peaks surrounding the park. From this
vantage ground we see over three
quarters of the park. This is acknowl-
edged to be one of the finest noun
tain scenes in the world.
We next visit the petrified forests.
In this are preserved many trees over
five feet in diameter Only two speci-
mems are standing. One Of the two is
ten feet in diameter. This is a won
derful monument to the unseen hand
and puzzle to the scientist because
of the immensity of it's extent and the
size of the trees preserved Rocky
Mountain trees are seldom four feet
in diameter.
How to Make the Trip.
From this place we return to the
point of starting. Now just few
words on how to make this trip. The
manner depends altogether on your
circumstances and what you are out
for If you have plenty of money to
spend and like grafters by all means
go with the hotel system. They charge
you $49.50 for five and one-half days
in the park. This is supposed to in
clude board. lodging and transporta-
ton, but when you arrive at Mammoth
Hot Springs about 2:30 o'clock the
wagons will drive up to the hotels to
take the tourists upon the Mammoth
Hot Springs formation. For this their
first graft. their charge is only ST..
Then when you get back, you kick
yourself for not walking. This they
call a side trip. These side trips con
tinue all around the park. BY the
time you get around you have been
grated to the extent of about Sill.
This system is the only one that is
run on the grafters' principle.
With the Wyllie permanent camps
you get trip of five and one half
days for $35, and this includes the

Los Angeles, Cal, F'eD. 26, 1904.
Dear Courier: After a sojourn of
ten, days in southern California 1 am
prepared to- state without reservation
that the winter climate in this section
Of the country is all that is claimed
for it, and is even more delightful and
salubrious than the visitor. from the
east and middle west naturally ex-
poets. The transition from the severe
cold of Iowa to the flower gardens, or
ange groves, bright sunshine and de-
lightful warmth of southern California
is so Quickly and easily accomplished
that it is a constant surprise to the
average tourist.
Though we have read for number
of years of the annual Floral Day par
ade at Pasadena on New Years day,
we have been disposed to regard the
matter as considerable Of an advertis-
ing scheme, and could not realize until
we saw with our own eyes that the
roses and other beautiful flowers are
growing and blooming out of doors
here during the entire winter season.
The healthful qualities of the southern
California climate consist chiefly. so
far as the average visitor and tourist
is concerned. in the fact that they
come here to rest and that while here
they live out of doors practically all
the time. Fresh air and bright sun
shine, together with the bracing quail
ties of ocean breezes, will accomplish
wonders for the invalid or tired bust
ness man, if. but given an opportunity
to do their natural and legitimate
work.
- Come BY Thousands.
We do not wonder that rich people
have come here by hundreds and
thousands to build themselves perma-
nent homes, for while the winter eli
mate is all that. could be asked, we are
assured by those who live here that
the summer climate is equally delight
full, and that no season of the year, so
far as climate conditions are concern
ed, has any special, disagreeable fea-
lures. But the railroads have made
