has just arrived and a real jubi-
lee was held by the Oregon dele

SdGlOu, DuL uOI 80 WILL VIC
Washington boys, over the re-
suit of the OAC-Whitman foot
ball game of the week before and
this gives great confidence in
the victory for OAC with the U.
of o. on the 21st-next Satur-
day-and if you write me and
address to Batesyille, Miss, I
will get it up to the 1st of Dec,
and you must count on at least
FIVE days to make the trip, so if
you cannot get one off in time to
reach me there, you can then
catch me at Rayville, La, up to
the middle of December and af-
tar that date I will be at Waynes-
boro, Miss, or at least I will get
my mail there, as my trips into
the country will be made from
there, and I expect to ship all
my wild turkeys from this sta
ton. Twill leave my baggage
there and will go on horseback
through Wayne county, Miss;
Choctaw and Washington coun-
ties, Alabama, and / may take q
few weeks down on the Pearl
river before returning, so you
need not look for cards during
this time, for this is when my
real vacation begins, and if the
reports come that wild west
erner' has been apprehended
with more wild turkeys than the
law allows, well you may guess
that I hired some native to help
me, but at best I am going to
make all effort, and that is the
best any one can do.
"Now word about our trip up
to this date, which includes a
mileage Of little short Of 5000
miles and includes the following
stops:
"From Por tland, Oregon, to
Seattle, Wash. Here we spent
two nights and one day-and
every man, woman, child, chick,
Jap or other was busy-great
city. From Seattle we crossed
over to Victoria, B G.: dignifed,
exclusive, sleepy, slow, English
to a finish, and l found but little
that appealed to me Of interest.
From Victoria we again crossed
over the water to Vancouver, B.
c., and here we. found a more
modern city, but still short OF
our American idea. Here we
spent one day, as we did in Vic
toria, and at five o'clock we
boarded the G. P. R. for St. Paul
where we arrived safely after g
most pleasant trip. Scenery ir
the mountainous sections very
fine, but since so many have
exubriated so much over this
section, l am going to 'cut i
out From ST. Paul we had 6
most delightful trip down ove1
the c. M. & St. Paul-day ride
which is one Of the most de
lightful ever enjoyed in the Mid
die West. Arrived at Chicago
at S:45 p. m. and domiciled fol
the night at the Great Northern
The forenoon OF Oct. 9TH wa
spent in preparation for the tril
down to the convention at In
dianapolis, and at 1870 p. M WI
joined as jolly bunch as rarel,
gather together for trip acros
country, and at 6 p. NJ we wer'
at our destination, Indianapolis
Ind, where we were all sool
lined up at the desk of the Clay
pool Hotel for assignment 0
rooms, which required nearly
two hours, before we could GU
loose for something to eat. Goot
natured people losbled each Oth
er, which go to make up sucl
occasions and make it brig h
spot in our memories in days te
come.
EAT 9 a. m. the convention wa
called to order by our president
August Eickleburg, of New Yorl
City, N. Y, and was full of in
terest to those of our profession
