pinned their hopes, and who. it is
believed, viii be the mayoralty
choice OF the democratic and
union labor representatives in the
all partisan conference, which
democrats close TO the throne still
insist viii be held.
Mahony is the magic name that
can bring the McNab democrats
and the Mccarthy dominant fac
ton OF the union labor party to-
gether IN an effort to save San
Francisco and her credit. They
think if the plan fails it will be
because Mahony declines to per-
NIT himself to be nominated for
mayor. The onus OF any indis-
position TO make Mahony the
candidate of the three parties is

who were first to propose a con
ference and who are to be given
an opportunity to confer on a
proposition that is not objection
able to AlcCartly-to wit, con-
ference looking to the selection of
a single ticket from mayor to
coroner.
The democrats who are in on
the play have felt their way and
know what they are doing. They
are not guessing about Mahony's
acceptance by Mccarthy. nor are they
uneasy about his acceptance by the
people generally. They are somewhat
doubtful about Mshony's Willingness to
ecoept the nomination. but figure that
u he were the choice OF all the parties

The letters of Frank Warner, Mrs.
Ada Curry and others recently published
in the REPORTER, revives the memory
of term of school taught in the early
days of Leon by George Adams in the
upper room Of the old building in which
at that time, or perhaps later was oc-
cupied by S. w. Hurst as store room.
The names of many of the pupils who
attended that school have slipped the
memory of the writer, but of those re-
membered are the names of the follow
ing: Lucy, Ada and Cass Lubbock;
Mary, Louisa, Clara and Edith Patter-
son; Hattie and Fannie Raft; Henry, and
and Belle Burns; Sam Hendrickson;
Robert, Amanda and Emma Shaffer; Belle
Owens; Will, John, Caroline and Mary

the writer in 1864 and her brothers
Robert and George; Mary, Lottie and
Frank Knapp; and last we remember but
not least Mary Tallman. MIR. Adams the
teacher at that time practiced law, and
frequently was called on to attend cases

OrlOf, California, EeD. 70, lJUa
EDITOR REPoRTER:-l often think of
the good times have enjoyed in old
Decatur county and these reflections
never fail to give me pleasure. And
now after an absence of some eighteen
or twenty years | wish to renew my
friendship and acquaintance with my
old friends, many of whom l expect
have long since forgotten of my exist
ence.
Since leaving Decatur county have
had many and varied experiences, a true
record Of which would make interesting
reading for my old friends in the old
neighborhood. Suffice it to say that
since leaving there have crossed the
FUSED to be much talked about) plains
and Rocky mountains five times and
truly hope have crossed them the last
time.
My old friends will remember that
my wife was the Oldest daughter of A.
Y. Snavely, William Goodman marrying
the second youngest daughter. Good
fortune still lets me keep my wife and
we have been blessed with three chill
dren, two daughters and one son. The
daughters were born at the place now
owned by William Goodman, south of
Van Vert four miles. They are twins
and DR.. McClelland attended when they
were born. Our son was born in Chico,
California. The girls are both married
and each of them have a baby. The one
has a bright little boy something more
than two years old and the other sweet
little girl twenty months old. Our boy
is now nearly eighteen years old and is
in college here, but of course, you don't
want to he "bored' by a history of my
family and lot of stuff about what they
sor we have been doing, and yet, We
have friends and relatives there who
might be interested in hearing it. One
;.of our daughters moved from here to
Oklahoma last October and shortly
afterwards she took down with pneu-
monia and | went to see them during
the fore part of December and have
just arrived home from there, so spent
most of the winter in Oklahoma.
While in Oklahoma | met several Iowa
people, among the rest met Doss Gard
ner, who used to teach school in various
parts Of Decatur county. He taught
several terms at the Snavely school.
| called to see him the day before left
(Apache) and found him putting in a
first class stock of groceries. He, his
son and son-in-law are going to run the
store. He told me that John Strong
lived at Geary, a few miles north from
Apache. Mr.. Strong was my nearest
neighbor when lived in Iowa.
If any of my friends who read this
letter would like to correspond with me
! would be glad to hear from them;
would be glad to hear from anyone who
is dissatisfied with Iowa and will cheer
fully answer any questions they may
ask.
This l think is the best country in the
world for persons with small means to
acquire independence. Land that is
capable of producing from $3.50 to 81 ,00(
an acre, can be had now at from $50 tt
S150 an acre. Five or ten acres is al
that any one man needs to have to make
him independent if he will apply him
self. Yours truly,

also with Frank Warner. Not seeing
any letters from Oklahoma for long

lines and let my old friends know we are

letter from Nebraska and was glad to
hear that he was pleased with his new
home. He says Nebraska is better than
Iowa or Oklahoma, and it may be, but
| am from the show me country. l will
have to be showed. We have had a fine
winter. We call it winter but in Iowa
it would not be winter. There was
about two weeks that ice on still water
was couple of inches thick. Wheat
never looked better at this time of the
year. We have had plenty of rain all
winter, and there are quite a few who
have their oats sowed. The peach trees
will soon be in bloom and also theplumb
trees. We have rose bushes that are in
leaf and the grass has started nice.
We haven't had but one nice snow, and
that was in November. The trouble we
now have is to get cars to ship our
grain. We have three elevators which
hold $4,000 bushels of grain, but we
don't get to haul grain but one day in
two weeks. Wheat is worth three be-
low test price, corn is % cents, oats 30
cents. Land is getting pretty high in
price, and claim near me sold few
days ago for $500. We are having fine
weather and splendid roads. You peo-
pie who are tired of wading mud better
come down and see us. Plenty of men
from Illinois are coming in and buying
land. Our town is on boom. There
was $4,000 worth of town lots sold in
two days recently. Regards to all the
old friends. Yours truly,
