Why. it almost turned our heads and to
cap the climax it was said to us when can
you take dinner with us?'' Well, the in
vitations came so thick and fast that we
concluded we would cut out breakfast and
lunch and eat nothing but dinners They
fed US on all the delicacies of the season,
new peas, new potatoes, new beets and
the whole line clear through One place
they gave us incubator to eat. 1t was
good. The vegetable name is egg plant.
We had strawberries, red raspberries and
all kinds of fruit and meat. had almost
forgotten that Yes, we had meats of all

Now perhaps you would like to know
just who it was that was blowing them
selves in such way. Well, don't like

their reach they may forget it by the time
see them again. Well. there was James
Luney and family, w. A. McHenry and
family. L. Cornwall and wife, R. Hefle-
finger and family, Fred Hefaefnger and
family, ]. P. Miller and wife, ]. c. Bar
rett and family, and Mrs Gould and son
and others not from Crawford county.
There we no fly specks at any of the plac-
es. We met Geo. Rae, daughter and SIS

stores and doing we'll. E. Trobr'dge
was in the furniture business, but had
stroke of paralysis. He is improving. but
is unable to do business. All the others
are working at their trades and vocations.
Those of you who knew Fred Hefhehn-
ger as lean, lanky boy, ought to see him
now. He is a fine looking man, think
the handsomest man saw in Los Angeles.
E. w. Sargent is employing hfty-hve
clerks and draws a salary of $500 90 per

there were 224o inmates with 1000 regis

worth visiting.
We saw the Baldwin airships sail three
different times. lowered all over the
city and was steered. elevated or lowered
at will. Saw the race between the airship
and auteaopile from Los Angeles to Pas
