pleasant day l spent with the

while Mrs. Norris was there, al
!, so an afternoon in PASADENA,
when Mr.. Pierce gave me a
Iglimps of the city, by a drive of
1.-TWO and a half hours and
: it was one of the most delight
full drives ever had, being
through long avenues overhung
with beautiful pepper trees, by
the homes of many millionaire,
to the Sunken Gardens, made
by Busch, of st. Louis, and one
wonders at the transformation
when told that Is years ago it
was sheep pasture, and Mr..
Pierce told me that though his
home was only afew blocks dis
tant, the night the Raymond"
hotel was opened, they could
not hear the music at times for
the barking of the Cayotes.

Willis and family in Los Ange-

l saw Mr.. and Mrs. L. M. Kel-
logg passing down the street.

pleasure, when in a land among
new scenes and strange faces to
meet and talk with friends from

The writer is far enough
away to tell the story of why
one congressman is not anxious
to go back to Washington. It's
simply money or rather the
lack of it. At the advanced
pay it would seem as though a
frugal Iowan could live in
Washington on the money I'm
Gle Sam pays him. So he can
if he lives at cheap boarding
house at 500 to S25 per week,
but if he does live there, and in
that way, he's a boarding house
congressman with all the term
implies. He amounts to as
much, living in that manner as
an employee in a manufacturing
town does at the company's
boarding house. When it
comes to having his family with
him it's broader than it is long.
And food lodging and clothes
are the least of his toubles.
Every visitor has to be enter
tanned more or less. One con-
gresham took a friend to
lunch with him in a first class
restaurant in Washington. 1t
was a very simple affair. The
wine glass was not even looked
at. The waiter brought him
a check for the two, $685..
Theater tickets cost money; SO
do automobiles, for sight-see-
ling. This congressman at
home lays up money on an in
come of $4,000 a year. He
served his country two terms
in Washington and barely

DATA ON DIVORCES
GATHERED
Causes for 1900, Suits i'm
Twenty Years to be
Learned

Washington, June I'm
happy marriages during
the two decades between
the years 1887 and 1906, in the
shape of divorces, have been
noted and put in the form of
statistics. These figures are
now undergoing an analysis to
show the various causes leading
to the result under contempla-
ton, and will show among
other things the average ages
of the dissenting parties,1 their
nationally, their occupation and
every conceivable thing that
will tend to make interesting
reading for those who wish tc
read about the whitened bones
of family skeletons. One mill
ion three hundred thousand ap.
plications for divorce were
made between the years 1887
and 1906, and of these between
two-thirds and three-fourths
resulted in DEGREES of divorce.
The census bureau expects to
have an analysis of its figures
ready to make public in the
future.

The Harris Grove Farmers
Club met Saturday, June 9Th,

home of Mrs. Perry and daugh-
ter, with nearly a full member
ship present. Owing to the

ings to Mend Tonight, which

present. Howard Jones recited
"a Boys Complaint"
Questions were then taken
up and answered as follows:
l. Decided that concrete for
walks is the cheapest and best
for the money expended.
2. Resolved the reason we do
not raise more turkeys as a
rule, they take more time and
care, are delicate and hard to
raise; but think they could be
made profitable, by keeping
them free from lice, given
plenty of liberty, not over feed
ing, and left to run with the
turkey hen.
3. Decided that for quick
growth and good shade that
soft maple trees were the best.
At the request of some MEM
bers present, Mr.. Vanderhoof
was asked his opinion, as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of sowing alfalfa i'm
growing corn? Mr.. Wander
hoof gave us a very interesting
talk, he said, "With shallow
cultivation it grew we'll and
did niooly but advised those
who sowed alfalfa with corn, to
break and rake corn stalks in
small windows and burn when
the ground was frozen hard, as
it will not injure the alfalfa,
and when ready to cut there
will be no stalks to hinder.
Questions for next meeting:
l. How many acres of land
can one farmer handle success
fully? Referred to II. L. Jones.
2. Is there any law in the
Estate of Iowa that gives the
road supervisors the power to
restrain any farmer from i'm
proving the roads that runs by
his farm, when he furnishes

pense to the township? Re
ferred to Mrs. Perry.

IWedClleF DeaCen DullQlng With
crumbling arches and broken
walls, and only from their his
tory and a knowledge of archi-
lecture can one imagine what
their past has been. Some are
in total ruin, others have been
repaired and regular service are
held in them, but the glory of
the past is as a dream, and lives
only in the memory of a few
old Indians, whom one OCCASION
ally finds near the Missions.
Their descendants are ever go
ing back farther and farther in
to the mountains, and the Cali
lorna Indian of today is a mis-
cradle object, and one which
country Spain, Mexico, and the
United States does the burden
of their degeneration rest! So
when one thinks of California,
let them think of her only as
being new, politically, and soci-
ally, and her future, l believe,
will be as full of interest as her
past has been. Here the gov
eminent expects to expend
millions of money for coast de-
Tense, and should war ever come
to her borders, there will be
something doing"
Since coming here, | have
heard a sermon on the "Minis-
try of the Cloud" and it is tru-
ly on this ministry, both direct
ly and Indirectly, that Califor-
mia must depend, for without
water she would be a desert
waste, and with it she can be
transformed into almost q gar
den of Eden.
Before closing, | must tell
you something Of Long Beach,
although | do not wish to tire
you with too lengthy an epistle.
Taking the Pacific Electric at
Los Angeles, a ride of about a
half hour, being over % miles
of productive county, stopping
at numerous smill villages on
the way, brings you to the city
of Long Beach, and turning off
of American Avenue onto Ocean
Front, you can look off over the
Pacific Ocean, which lies on the
city's southern border. | had
always thought the Pacific
ocean was on the west, but it is
on the south here, and / am so
confused in regard to direction.
The Ocean is very attractive
to me that never grow tired
in watching it. Arriving at the
Salt Lake Depot on Ocean Front
the tourist of course goes first
to the pier, which runs out into
the ocean about one mile, and
consists of an upper and lower
story, the upper story for foot
passengers and the lower for
teams and automobiles, at the
end of this pier is what is called
the sun parlor, an immense bull
ding, enclosed in glass, and a
splendid floor for dancing, and
will accommodate 300 couple; on
the lower pier you find the fish
market, curio stands, and al
ways large number of fisher
men with their lines dangling
over the side of the pier. At
times the fishing here is splen-
did. Here it is the small laun-
ches come in, and the fish boats
which go out into the ocean ev-
cry day for two or three miles,
and return at night loaded down
with the finny tribe.
Coming back to the shore end
of the pier, on the east side, we
find an immense building called
1.-THE Auditorium, where all lee
lures are given, and other pub
lie affairs, such as the CHATEAU
qua, &C., are held. 1t will seat
at least 1000 people. On the
west side we find the Street of
a Thousand Lights" a sort Of a
