ENJOY THEIR VACATION
Mr.. and Mrs. F. K. Hubbard Are
Visiting Principal Places Of
Interest 10 California.


FRESNO, Cal, Jan. 27-CTo The
Editor, )-According to promise, I will
send you few lines for the OBSERVER.
Five weeks ago today, Mrs. Hubbard
and left Dallas for California. Our
first stop was at Sisson, whore we
stayed one week. This is one of the
places where the natural scenery is
certainly grand. On the east rises
Mt. Shasta, 14,45O feet high and looks
to be not more than two miles away
on the west is Mt. Eddy, not so high
as Shasta to the north is Black Butte,
which is almost solid rock. They
tell me that since the earthquake this
mountain has changed. Always
before this winter the top of this peak
was the first place the snow would
melt, but this winter it does not melt.
Just at the foot of this mountain rises
the Sacramento river 1t gushes forth
stream as large as the Luckiamute,
Of ice cold water, as clear as crystal.
You can see thousands of the finny
tribe that make you wish for a rod
and line. The California fish and
game law is quite rigidly enforced,
however.
One mile down the Sacramento river
Is the state fish hatchery. Everything
there is nicely arranged with beautiful
grounds. There are AZ different
ponds, and every one alive with fish.
They have every species Of fish known
in the United States. They employ
20 men, and count on Matching 15O
million fish each year. All the
streams in the state are stocked from
this hatchery.
Our next stop was at Wheatland.
200 miles down the Sacramento valley.
This brought us to the wheat belt Of
the state. While the yield is small
from four to six sacks per acre-they
claim fair margin Of profit on theil
wheat crop. The farming is done on
a large scale-from 1000 to 5000 acres
in one farm. Here also is the main
hop industry Of the state. The Horst
yards are here, also the Dursi
brothers.
From Wheatland we went to Sacra'
mento, arriving there the day the
Governor was inaugurated. From
Sacramento, we went to Fresno, which
certainly is an ideal little city o.
10000 inhabitants, situated in the
heart of the San Joaquin valley. YOU
can go out in the country and look
until the sky and earth meet-it Is al
one vast vineyard. They also raise
some oranges, lemons, peaches ant
waInuts, but they can't raise gooC
apples. You can get plenty of Oregon
apples however, at two for five cents
The entire distance from Sacramento
to this place is one continuous stretcl
of level land, and to my mind is th'
best part Of California that l hav'
seen. We expect to leave here on th'
2sth for Southern California.
While the weather is much warmer
than you have been having in Oregon
they tell us it is the coldest they have
had for years. Fuel is very high, ant
having to keep up their reputation TO
a warm climate, they don't keep goot
fires. Well, Mr.. Editor, If you thinl
this will do, 1 may send you anothe
letter later on.
