NOTES ON THE
PACIFIC COAST

| cannot say that | saw very
much of Oregon outside of tho
lovely city of Portland. We made
our advent into that place on a
very foggy morning and left there
in the night. So, for that reason,
| did not get to see the Columbia
river, with its grand scenery and
prosperous towns, strung along it
for two hundred miles. This was
matter for regret, but one cannot
see every portion of Il country
while travelling thru it, for half of
the time is spent in darkness.
OF the Fair there is no need to
speak. 1t is now a thing of the
past and, while there were many
things to admire and commend, it
is not a tit subject for an article Of
this kind.
| have been asked many times
what portion of the west | liked
best, and just where l will locate
when the time comes to migrate
to that country. With so much
delightful country to choose from
that is a difficult question to an

R. R.. CONTRACT
For the & E Signed and
Graders at Work.
GIDEON AND MICHAEL
Now at Waloott Collecting Teams and
Preparing to Push the Work Thru
to Saratoga.

Walcott, Dec. 6.-The S d f
contract mentioned in last weeks
Sun has materialized and the
grades are now at work. Gideon
and Michael are the contractors
and they are new at Walcott col
Letting teams and men, prepare
tory to beginning work on the I'M
finished portion of the grade be
tween this place and Saratoga and
on to Encampment.
1t is understood that W. A.
Bradbury, of Denver, is the party
behind Gideon e Michaels con-
tract. Bradbury is the contractor
who is now building the new L.
P. branch up the North Platte
river III Nebraska.
Another very significant thing,
in connection with the Saratoga
and Encampment road is that the
" running Nihb INV
are in the employ of the Burling-
ton road. If this is true and can
it can mean but one thing-that
the Burlington is building the
above road and that is Il part of a
trunk line from Denver to the
coast.
The grading contract of Gideon
and Michael calls for the compile
ton of the line, Walcott to En-
campment, by May |, 1906.
Work on the grade will com
mence simultaneously all along
the line between Walcott and Sar-
atoga, and as soon as the grade
stakes are driven the same plan
will be pursued with the survey
from Saratoga to Walcott. 1t is
understood that Gideon and Mich
ael will use all Of the local teams
that desire work.

| want TO speak a word to tho
people who look upon California

drawbacks. You will not find. as
you now expect. Just fby reading
descriptions of it, that the flowers

they do not grow any where with

that my eyes would be fairly daz-

ferently-in fact | did not find
nearly SO many flowers as | had
expected to. You will find there
are almost as many objections to
California as a residence state as
there are in Wyoming, or any of
the mountain states. The climate
is its strong recommendation and
that certainly is all that has been
said of it, in certain localities.
But what suits one person is not

$4,000. He can buy "A small plot
of land, from five to- ten acres. and
raise chickens, fruit or vegetables,
with considerable profit. But he
must be a hustler. 1t is no place
for a plodder, for the reason that
he will find no plodders there.
Everybody is IN the jump and he
will have to jump along with the
rest or get left in the race.
But, in conclusion. allow me to
suggest that if you contemplate
going to California to make it
your home, don't locate perman-
emily until you have had a chance
to look around and make "A selec-

many wonderful and fascinating
ones. as well as some serious
drawbacks. 1t is a Kaleidoscope
of the world in the matter of its
inhabitants, its shipping and its
transient people. There is a Won
derful fascination about this grea,
city of the west. its street crowds,
its foreign shipping and the con-
tlnnal coming and going of for
eign peoples. There is a snap
and 60 about the atmosphere that
is magnetic and one knows he is
alive, and has fingers on the pulse
of the world while traversing its
streets. Its greatest drawback is
the cool, heavy, fogs that wrap
the city in their folds whenever
the notion takes them. One needs
to dress in San Francisco the

Francisco is a giant, half foreign
and wholly independent of the
rest of the world, sitting on its
rocky hills and sand dunes, mas
ter of its own destiny and caring
very little of what is thought or
said of it, so long as it is allowed
to go on its whirling, dancing,
magnetic way toward It's destiny.
With the finest and safest harbor
in the world it must forge ahead
until it becomes a much greater
power than any n now living

Santa Cruz has one of the most
delightful natural settings of any
place on the coast. If one were
limited to one choice. and never
saw any other portion of Califor-
MIA except that delightful valley,
then would he be content to
choose that as his abiding place.
But the people of Santa Cruz are
still half asleep. and it will have
to experience a complete change
of city management, and get some
live newspapers to exploit its
greatness before it comes into its
own. Like San Francisco. the
fog is heavy, and at times disa-
greeable. 1t has "A lovely climate

KEEPING CUT FLOWERS.
How They May De Preserved For

How They May De Preserved For
Several Weeks.
Cut flowers, when properly treated,
can be made to look fresh for three
or four weeks, writes a florist in the
st. Louis Republic.
Every night take them out Of the
vases and thoroughly rinse the stalks
under a faucet, removing with the I'm
gers any decomposed matter. Then put
them to bed for the night in a basin Of
strong soapsuds, but be careful not to
allow any water to touch the blossoms.
The soapsuds supply a certain amount
Of nourishment.
In the morning rinse the stalks under
the water again and, as each blossom is
arranged for the day in the vase Of
fresh water, snip off a tiny portion Of
the stalk with a pair of scissors. Al
ways carefully trim away any faded
part
Food for the day is supplied by sui
phate of ammonia, a few drops of
which should be added to the water
put into the vase.
At night put the flowers in some
dark, cool place-say pantry-as it Is
not good either for the flowers or the
household that they should remain all
the time in the living rooms.
To revive cut flowers put them into
warm salt water, to which has been
added a few drops OF sulphate of am
monia.
Cut flowers are constantly sent by
express and through the mails, but sell
dom in such a fashion as to preserve
their bloom and freshness.
To effect this pack them in a light
wooden box lined with cotton or wad'
ding, laying over this sheet Of tissue
paper. Then lay the flowers, not OF
top Of each other but in rows, side by
side, the blossoms Of each row on the
stems OF their neighbors.
Pack closely, otherwise the flowers
will be displaced and injured In the
journey. Before packing they should
stand in water several hours in order
to absorb moisture enough to keeI
them from withering.
1t is not good to sprinkle them too
heavily after they are in the box, fol
without air this is likely to produc'
