oOo residents and 100000 visit
ors, and has one Of the finest
harbors in the world. At this
place we met Butch Willard,
who will be remembered by all
Wahpeton people. He enlisted
in the navy 3 years ago and is
on the Charleston, aud tuld us
we were the first Wahpeton
people he had met. His time
will be up in one year, he in
formed us, and that he will not
re-enlist unless there was war
with Japan. From San Diego
we took trip into Lower Cali
fornia, or Old Mexico. The
railroad runs to the line and
from there we went by team.
The Mexicans have quaint
costumes, but we met many
nice people among them as
well as very nice spaniards.
On one of our trips in Banade-
ma Mts. we were above the
clouds. We stopped a week in
Needles on the Colorado river,
a great mining country, also a
day at Albuquerque, N. Mex.
We saw Mount Whitney from
near the Needles, in Arizona,
about 200 miles away This is
the highest mountain in the
United States. Our trip was
then to Kansas City, then to
Minneapolis and home. And
assure you it was pleasure
to us to get home.
And still we think of the mill
lions and millions that have
been spent to build up and
beautify the parks and gardens
of Southern California, the
drives shaded by the Eucalypt-
US trees and a thousan nd other
attractions, that it might lure
to that mecca men and women
from every state in the Union
and from across the sea, that
they might come and leave
hundreds of millions in these
cities, and men and women
from every state and across the
sea are flocking to this point
and doing what it was intend
ed they should do.
l might write you a letter
stating those things that l did
not like and did not impress
me favorably on my trip, espe-
cially in the South west, and
may do 80 at no great future
date. Yours Truly,

BILE family and our visit there
will be remembered many a
day. Mr.. Rischards has on his
land all kinds of fruits, such as
oranges, apples. grapefruit,
guava, lemons, figs, and many
kinds l can't remember. Such
people are nice to meet, of
course they were for they lived
in North Dakota, for many
years. From Pasadena we
passed to Redlands about fifty
miles east all along the foot of
the mountains are groves of
oranges, the bright yellow

pleasant sight to see, and Mon

and his family in his home and
with him on drives among or

trees. Ed. Crandall owns many
an acre, and we'll may he be
proud of his location. In his
yard l picked oranges with
blossoms on the same tree, and
snow not two miles away.
Monrovia is 80 situated among
the mountains that it never

blow. Mr.. Crandall has in his
yard one tomato plant that, he
told me, blossoms and has fur

the past five years. l saw on
this plant blossoms, and green
and ripe tomatoes.
We visited Long Beach, one
of the great ocean resorts.
Took the boat at San Pedro, for
the noted island, Catalena, 35
miles out in the ocean. The
wind was blowing from the
Northwest and we were going
south. There were no white
caps but the great waves were
as high as a house. The boat
went up and down, sideways
and crossways. The next day
[ felt better and was out some.
Catalena Island is a beautiful
spot, about two townships in
size-and there is the greatest
fishing grounds in the Union.

SALOON WORKERS.

COLUMBUS. O.. March 2O.-With
the prohibition national convention
now less than four months away, the
leaders in the movement are yet up
in the air. as to a candidate for the
presidency All of the other parties
have logical candidates. in profusion,
but the opponents of the rum lemon
have not been able to agree on a man,
and the choice is still apparently as
far away as ever.
Dozens of men have been mentioned
as worthy of the honor, but few have
more than local regulations and the
prChibitionists are DESTROYS of making
the race with strong man of un-
doubted craftsmanship and ability.
With gain Of half-dozen dry"
states in the past year, and hot prohi-
bition and local option campaigns being
Wa2ed in many other states. liquor has
become more important issue than
ever before.
The campaign managers are hoping
ana praying that the man may yet arise
who can lead the prohibition hosts"
on to victory, or at least to a nearer
approach to it than ever before.
The national convention will be held
here on July Is. with 1912 delegates
representing the various states and ter

PRESERvEFORESTS
SAY LUMBER MEN
WHOLESALE DEALERS IN AC
CORD WITH THE ADMINS
TRATION POLICY.

| WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 20
/ That the lumbermen of the country
who are engaged in the manufacture
and distribution of forest products are
! interested in the work of the govern
ment in conserving the natural re-
sources of the United States was evil
denced at the recent annual meeting
/ of the National Wholesale Lumber
Dealers association in Washington, d.
! c., when more time was given UP to
the question of forestry than any other
topic that came up before the conven-
ton. This association takes in approx
mately 400 of the wholesale lumbermen
from all parts of the country and what
they had to say about the practical
value of forestry is naturally of much
public interest. =.
The secretary of the association in
his annual report recommended that
the wholesalers as a body should en-
courage in every way the study of for
estry as a part of the regular curri-
culm of the public schools. A report
also was received from the delegate
appointed to attend the congressional
hearing to urge the taking of CEN
port, which pointed out the absolute
necessity Of determining accurately the
which carried with it an endorsement
of the project, was adopted without
the lumbermen in the matter of for
estry was again manifested when the
program of the meeting was extended
to permit the calling upon representa-
tives of the Forest Service to address
the meeting. s
The attitude of the lumbermen to-
ward forestry was aptly described dur
ing the meeting by a wholesaler who
said: "Lumbermen are not interested
in forestry or the work of the Forest
Service on any theoretical grounds,
but we look upon forestry as a bust
ness proposition solely and what it
will return to us in dollars and cents.
We all realize that the available sup
ply of timber is becoming smaller and
smaller each year and that if we are
to continue in business we must con-
serve the supply. When I first be-.
gan business many years ago we got
our white pine and hemlock from Penn
sylvania exclusively TO distribute in the
eastern markets. Today practically
all our white pine comes from Michi-
gan and Minnesota and our hemlock
from West Virginia and adjoining
states. In a comparatively few years
at the present rate of cutting we will
have to go still further for our supplies
and even substitutes and at the same
! time lumber will cost us considerably
more. and the consumer will have to
pay the price
