My Dear Friend-We arrived here

and are all we'll as usual. The
weather has been warm and sun
shiny so far, about our August
weather except the nights which are
very COOL Lodi has population of
about 5000. The people appear to
be very enterprising and all seem to
be very busy. The grape season is
about over. The country is very flat
and vast vineyards of grapes, very
large orchards of oranges, apples,
peaches, appricots, pears, plums, etc.
can be seen in every direction as far
as the eye can see and farther too.
Horses, hogs and cattle are in good
condition. Wood is sold here by the
tier and not by the cord. The apples
are fine and sold by the box. / went
into a store and asked for peck Of
apples and the clerk said he did not
know what that was, but said he had
an indistinct remembrance OF a
peck when he went to school. TWO
and four bits are used considerable
to designate Is, SO and rs cents etc.
There is plenty of dust but no wind
to speak of, usually very still. We
are dustless side of the street and
that is on the north side. during
the summer the prevailing wind Is
in the northwest and through the
winter in the southeast, which
brings with it rain.
There are lots of eastern people
here. Many of them do not like the
dust and the sameness of the weather
and. return east again. We have. not
been here long enough to know how
we like it or what outlook for bus1-
ness is. There are great many
Cinnamon and Japanese people here.
Electric and motor cars run every
hour to Stockton. city about 70
or 80 thousand. Large boats ply be-
tween Stockton and San Francisco

has electric lights and city water
which is good and soft, obtained
from wells about 80 feet deep.
