Bess was in her prime she was the

and filled the pockets with coin for all

CALIFORNIA.
Tells Of the Climate and Beauties Of
That State

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
WAUKEEA, CAL, Feb.23, 1906. Dear
Sir: Having SO many inquiries con-
cerning this valley, take this method
Of answering. / have been here near
ly three months and am well pleased
with the country, the winters are SO
mild, just like nice fall weather back
east the thermometer seldom ever
going below 20 above and that doesn't
last more than a month. The rainy
season is often spoken Of, but isn't
rainy like 1t Is In the east. We have
nice gentle rains, no winds or storms,
for the wind never blows over five
miles an hour nor does 1t lightning
or thunder. In the valley we can
see it lightning In the mountains. 1t
is also very healthy, there being no
malaria fever or chills, and a person
could hardly take cold II they wanted
too, even.
We are having splendid weather
now, people have been making garden
for month; it grows all winter.
The land lays well and is very rich
and deep, being lake In olden times.
1t is all made land and is In the heart
Of the artesian belt.
Alfalfa is the principle crop and it
makes from four to eight tons per
acre. 1t is foot high at the present
time. or course, eight tons sounds
fishy to Missouri people, but consider
ing the richness of the soil and the
long warm, rainy season and the
abundance Of cheap water to irigate
with, it is self-explaining. Alfalfa is
not the only thing that can be raised.
This has been great wheat country,
making as much as eighty bushels to
the acre. We can raise all kinds OF
fruit and nuts and oranges can be
grown by protection for four or five
years. Stock raising is also a great
industry, for cattle can be pastured
the year round and nature even pro-
vides salt in the shape Of salt grass
for them.
This land can be bought for from
s35 to $50 per acre now, and with all
the water it needs, failure is unknown.
Hay is worth 80 ton and doesn't go
below IS.
Yours truly,
D. B. KELERHALLs,
Waukena,
Tulare County,
California.

Hon. W. r. PAINTER, Of the Car
rollton MOI Democrat, speaking of a
twenty minutes talk with Governor
Folk says: "The Governor Of Missouri
is easy to see; that's Democratic. He
does not have a body guard that's
Democratic. He makes you think
your business is his; that's right. On
Tuesday of this week l walked into
the Office of Governor Folk without
even card or stopper. The door
was ready to oswing open to all and all
seemed welcome. There on no frills
of any kind, just plain old Missouri
hospitality; his greeting makes you
feel that you are confering the favor
not he. Talk, yes he will talk about
the States business, and is open and
frank about what he will do. Indeed
you are surprised at finding man SO
open and free. During the twenty
minutes l was In his Office, fifty mat
ters were disposed Of In one way and
another; each had his attention, de-
cision was made and the incident
closed. 1t was not machine work
either, for each matter received full
attention. The Governors private
office, not very private, for the door
to the reception room stands open, is
small one and in here he decides all
matters Of interest to the State. Men
enter with hopes Of office and leave
them behind as they come out, others
come forth with smile and ideal
realized. Political questions are
settled, policies decided upon, and you
may be sure the decision is made In
the interest OF Missouri and not ofany
man. The governor is intensely
partisan, he is Democrat, everyone
knows this in a minute, yet he is the
governor of all Missouri. would call
him gentle, kind but with all strong.
Evidently early In life he learned to
say no, and while to-day he has that
southern accent which takes away the
sting In the word, yet the party to
whom it is spoken knows it is final.
The Governor has shown wisdom in
the selection OF his immediate sub
ordinates, Secretary Woodsides and
Stenographer Morrow, both fine fell
lows; a good trio they make, working
In harmony and with one purpose, to
give Missouri a good old fashioned
democratic administration. II is
worth the trip to jefferson City to see
these men work for 20minutes."
