Mrs w. H. Miles has a letter of recent
date from her brother, c. II. Kellogg of
Los Angeles, Calf, who is in the real
estate business. He writes very inter
trIx Of u ha -
climate and expense OF living Los
Angeles is II miles inland but the cooling
ocean breeze is felt nine days out of every
ten in summer and the nights are always
cool. No rain falls between May and De
cember. The rain during the past winter
was 90 inches Mr. Kellogg's house is
about two miles from the centre and very
pleasantly located. In the back yard are
growing two lemon trees, two apricots,
two peach three plum. two fig and one
oranges Roses and calas are plentiful. He
writes that one of the delightful things
about California is that one can almost
live out of doors all winter and white
dresses are mostly worn by the ladies'.
The cost Of living is high. Milk is 10 cents
a quart butter 40 cents pound. potatoes
two and three cents pound and many
other things in proportion. Trolley cars
run everywhcre-to the mountains and the
ocean and distances of seven miles or
over may ne lIdNcleu LOT me I'VE cent

The play Just like Percy" which was
given by the senior class in Seminary
hall Friday evening. was a success in
every way. a large number of towns
people and many from adjoining towns
were present TO enjoy the entertainment
and they found themselves rewarded for
their trouble. Mrs. II. w. Lewis had the
training of the class and her efforts were
rewarded by the creditable manner i'm
which the different characters We're rep
resented. A wish was heard expressed
that the play might be reproduced i'm a
nearby town. Those not on the inside
do not realize the amount of hard work
that must be put into a production Of this
kind where there is no. stage equipment
and as in this case the scenery must be
manufactured by members of the COM
pany in addition to the drilling i'm their
parts, The music for the evening was
furnished by Fred Chandler of Jamaica
and Mrs. f. H. Richardson of Williams
Vile, who very generously contributed
their services aside from their expenses.
After the play ice cream was served,
and marching and a social time enjoyed.
1t was a noticeable feature of the latter
part of the evening that the townspeople
remained and entered into the enjoyment
of the students, showing thereby an in
terest which is often lacking in the school
life here.
