THE MAN FROM SACRAMENTO

Sacramento visitor to Los Angeles relates at
siderable length in of the capital city tale
of woe in the southland. He here during the
period of rainfall and he INDUCES in much
in reciting his experience.
The whole city, as appeared the dweller Sac
ramento, had lately been subjected to deluge. Follow
ing the nundaton deposit of several inches of
mud, nasty, sticky, oily, slippery mud" he des-
cribes it.
But that was not the most narrowing experience of
the man from Sacramento. Coming from wide open
town." in which every known kind of ntoxcan dis
pensed every twenyour hours of the day every day of
the year. the question of internal irrigation naturally
was of paramount importance. AS he makes no men,
tiop of acute suffering from lack of stmulanLs 1t is
inferred that he not here Sunday and that he
the supplies of saloon goods adequate his needs
on other days But the stage Of agony reached
when he essayed journey to Santa Monica bicycle
Here is part of the relation of that awful torturng
ride of twenty miles in country without saloons for
meposts appears to be the fashion in the neghbor
hood of Sacramento judging from this wall of anguish
"And through it all not place where beer could be
had by the glass otherwise had been passed Cogat-
ing this astonishing fact and crownng misfortune,
the Sacramentan had his eyes gladdened by a distant
familiar and reassuring sign Beer Cents Never
was a goal gleefully sighted; it more
difficulty placed But after half hours sliding the rider
found himself beneath the sign.
""Two beers, he announced.
Cant have nothin' but orange cider, snapped the
bartender
''But the sign faltered the muddy one not wishing
to let his disappointment overwhem him all at once.
Cant help it; We don't sell beer, was the dogged
answer
"'Orange cider respectfully but firmly declined"
From the fact that the Sacramento lived to tell
his amazing experience of life in land where beer"
is not universally and perennally tap it is obvious
that he pulled through his journey and reached Santa
Monica alive. 1t may be inferred that on his arrival
there he thunderstruck at finding that Santa Monica
is prohibition town. He nothing in disparagemenr
of the place. however hence the inference that had
been in prohibition towns before and that experience
taught him to HE straghtway to drug store for relief
from enforced temperance agony.
So appears from the viewpoint of this particular
man from Sacramento that the southland is always too
dry but at times also too wet The lack of means for
internal irrigation is the greatest drawback to the sec.
tion he it, but the rain and the also are
abominabe
What a paradise Sacramento must be to a wayfarer
touring the route to destruction

asco is that community of sensible people should not

to exploit themselves in working up the Davenport recall
petition the bunder which caused the supreme court to
sit down thereon with dull thud would have been
obyiated.
