THE TRAMP TOURIST.
John r. Sipes Of Eddyville Tells Of
Visit to California.

After enjoying the genial climate
of Los Angeles for four weeks, and
witnessing quite a number OF the at
fractions of that city, the writer, in
company with his cousin, Harry Sipes,
went to Elsinore, California, on Fri
day, March 10, to spend a month or
more. On the following day we were
Joined by Harry's brother, Roy.
Elslnore is situated ON Lake Elsi-
more. a lake which is three miles wide
and six miles long, surrounded by one
of the fine agricultural districts of
Southern California, with variety of
Soil adapted to practically every line
of agricultural pursuits Its elevation
is 1900 feet above sea level, ninety
miles from Los Angeles on the Santa
Fe railroad, and % miles from River

county, Elsinore is known for the
wonderful medicinal properties of its
hot sulphur springs, also for it's inn
mense deposits of valuable CONNER
cial clay and for its gold, copper, and
coal deposits. 1t is a growing. pros
porous little city of about five hundred
persons, and with good schools. There
are three churches, the Catholic, Con.
gregational aud Methodist Episcopal.
The city owns its water.
There is choice hunting in the vi
cinity of Elsinore, the lake being not
ed for duck hunting in season.
There are two bath houses at Elsi.

the former giving mud as well as wat.

a pool for those who wish to take a
swim. Each bath house has hotel

other hotel known as the Elsinore
Hotel. In addition there are numer-
GUS small cottages available for light
housekeeping. To those who have
never tasted the water from the hot

very agreeable at first, but we soon
learned to like the water. This water
is claimed to be good for stomach trou-

discussed at some length, but no de-
finite action resulted.
The Dog Problem.
The problem of how to dispose of
the many worthless, nameless and
ownerless dogs in the city received
considerable attention. An officer to
catch and dispose of dogs at so much
per head is permitted, but no one in
Oskaloosa wants the job. The Ottum-
wa way was talked. Have a dog
pound. All unlicensed and untagged
dogs are held forty eitgh hours, when
they are disposed of. But who will
catch the dogs to impound and who
will do the killing? The council let
the matter go over to the next meeting.
Water Rates Discussed.
The subject of water rates in Os-
kaloosa was again called to the atten-
ton of the council. City Solicitor
Chas. c. Orvis in recommending a
number of matters to the council for
consideration included the subject oil
water rates current in the city. This
is the second time the topic has been
called up in the council The prob
lem was not determined, however,
and no resolution or motion was made.
The subject has been brought to the
attention OF the council and the mayor
so frequently by the citizens, how.
ever, that some effort will be made by
the administration to have something
done.

SEARCHING FOR
MISSING MAN
Mystery Surrounds Disap-
pedfdnCe of Miner.
Hutch" Stevens, Who Disappeared
on December 6, Has Not Been
Found and the Worst Is Feared
Searching Parties still Out.

What appears to be complete
mystery is the sudden disappearance
of Hutchinson Stevens, miner and
prospector, better known as Hutch
from the American Canyon district.
The last seen of the missing man
was on the 9th of last December. On
that day he met Fred Plum. the
Spring Valley stage man, on the sum-
NIT between Limerick and American
Canyon and gave him an order for
supplies to be purchased in Lovelock,
stating he would meet him at Fit
ting postoffice the next day. Mr..
Stevens also stated that he was 60
ing to do the assessment work on the
Grown Point group of claims, in
which he is interested.
At the Fitting postoffice consid-
cradle quantity OF mail had accumu-
lated for Mr.. Stevens, and the post
master, George ". Dyke, after hear
ing the story Of Mr.. Plum, concluded
something had happened the missing
man and started a search TO ascer-
tain his whereabouts.
After two weeks of searching, dur
ing which time the surrounding coun-
try was thoroughly gone over with
out obtaining any clew. Mr.. Dyke de-
cided to notify the relatives of Mr..
Stevens, who resided in California
and Utah, and a brother, c. +. Ste
vens, arrived from the former place
and joined in the search with the
friends of the missing man.
Upon the arrival of the brother
party was organized and the camp
where Hutch had been living was
visited No evidence of any kind
could be obtained which would indi-
cate the direction he had gone. Eg-
erything was as though he had ex-
pected to return after days work.
All his clothing, bedding and provis-
ions were at the camp. The only
thing missing was 22-caliber rabbit
gun, which Mr.. Stevens had with him
when last seen On the 9th ultimo.
The party is still in the hills, making
eveyr effort to locate the unfortu-
nate man, but as yet no report of
their success has been received.
Mr.. Stevens is about five feet and
eleven inches high and weighs about
100 pounds. His hair is of a light
color, and he has heavy mustache.
He is about 80 years of age. and,
when last seen, wore brown canvas
clothes.
A reward of 5000 has been offered
to anyone who can give information
that will lead to the discovery of the
missing man. Any clew that will
give any trace should be for Sarded
to C. E. Stevens, P. c. Stevens or Joe
F, Nenzel, at Lovelock, Nevada.
