October we left Yuba and drove

October we left Pleasant Grove
and drove to Sacramento and laid

found that to be a very nice place,
and the buildings were all fine, and
groves, lawns and parks were all SO
clean and nice. We enjoyed our
selves so much that we didn't want

among us called it U-be-damned, and
we all thought it was U-be damned.

ostrich farm, in which there are over
5000 ostriches.
October 7 we left Sacramento ond
drove to Mr.. Littleton's home in
Lodi, California, S5 miles from Sacra-
mento, and will have to say he has
a fine little home, SO cozy looking,
and not only did his home look nice,
but the people and his neighbors all
around were there ready to greet
us as if they were old acquaintances.
We felt much at home here. After
resting a day or so here Mr.. Little
ton and wife, and l.. ]. Davis and
wife went out to the large wineries
and canneries, which they went all
through, and saw many interesting
sights, the girls joining them. We all
visited the beautiful cemetery, which

to speak of the Flame Tokay grape
for which the country is noted.
We enjoyed eating these very much;
they are very large and have beau
tiful color. There are acres and
acres of them on every side you
look. Mr.. Littleton had picked a
box in which he had bunch weigh
ing 16 pounds and one weighing II
pounds.
October 9th we left Lodi and drove

Modesto.
October 10th we left French Camp
and drove to Modesto.
October 11th we drove to Turlock,
which you Wallowa people are stuck
on, and which is boasted up SO high
ly, but we have seen many other
countries we like better than that.
1t is too dry and deserty looking for
us. We drove on after noon from
Turlock and camped at the bridge
crossing the Merced river to Mer-
ced county. There we had to camp
for the night and till noon the next
day before the bridge was fixed SO
we could cross.
October ~. In the afternoon we
pulled on for Atwater, our stopping
point, which consists of hotel, store,
depot, postoffice, butcher shop, and
several dwellings. We travelled on
~ miles and landed at Leola Stones,
daughter of L. j. Davis. She and
husband and family arrived here from
Washington last spring. We are all
very busy now preparing to build
On our new houses. We like the
country pretty, we'll here. The wealth

Mrs. l.. j. Davis weight was 120
pounds when we left Enterprise and
when we landed here she weighed
ITO pounds. SO you see her trip did
Mt agree with her, but Arva, her
daughter, weighed 1879 pounds when
we left Enterprise and stuck the
scales at 153 pounds. Sweet potatoes
agree with her fine. The distance
from Enterprise, Oregon, to Atwater,
California, is 999 miles, long "trip

NEW SHOCKS ALARM SURVIVORS
Complete Ruin of Crumbling Build
ings In Southern italy and Sicily.

Rome, Jan. 3. - Although graphic
stories are coming into Rome Of the
horrors in Southern Italy and Sicily,
those are but repetitions of indi-
vidual tragedies already recorded.
What chiefly concerns the govern
ment and the people is the progress
that is being made toward the relief
Of those who have suffered by the
dreadful visitation. Considerable adj
vance in this respect has been made
at Messina. where, according to OFF,
cial reports received here, the supply
service Is beginning to work satisfac-
torily. The different regions on the
coast have been allotted to various
warships and other ships as centers
from which torpedo boats and launch
es convey and distribute rations and
water to the different villages.
More Shocks Felt.
The minister of justice has wired
from Messina to Premier Goilitti that
large bodies Of troops have arrived
and are now occupying all parts of
the town. The appalling extent Of the
disaster renders anything like sys-
tematic search Of the ruins impossi-
BILE, but persons are being dragged
out all day long and are quickly trans
ported to the relief ships as soon as
their wounds have received attention.
There were slight shocks felt in the
earthquake zone yesterday, complet-
ing the ruin of the crumbling build
ings. Those shocks are contributing
to the keeping up of the alarm Of the
population. Fires are still burning,
although much rain has fallen. The
latest Investigations on both sides Of
the straits make 1t certain that many
more than half the population Of
the coast towns and villages have
been killed
More Than 100000 Dead.
Prof. Rico, director of the observa-
tory at Mount Aetna, estimates that
the victims of the earthquake exceed
100000. Hundreds of dangerous Grim

Distress Is Great.
Other thousands remain near the
ruins OF their homes or wander half
starving, half naked, over the land.
The forces that on Monday overwhelm-
ed the cities also destroyed the means
of sustenance.
Telegraphic communication has
been established with Messina. Mes
sages which have come over the line,
though they have been meager in de-
tail, show that hope is gone. Nothing
remains Of the city but mass of
ruins that have been swept by fire.
A mere handful of survivors are being
cared for by the rescuing forces, but
their distress is great, and it has been
increased by the violent icy wind that
followed the deluge Of rain.

Destitution Is everywhere, and ap-
palling. There is little food and less
water. Of Messina's 10000 population
it is believed that fully 10000 perish

HARE FOR JURY's DINNER.
Hunted Morning, Served Evening, Ac
cordino to Old EnuIish Custom.

Hunted Morning, Served Evening, Ac-
cording to Old English Custom.
The quaint custom of hunting the
hare in the morning, to be served up
for the jury's dinner at the annual
Court Baron, has just been revived
at Chard
The custom has been discarded for
the last forty years, but in the old
time it excited a great deal of inter
est. A local pack of hounds used to
hunt the Manor lands in the morning,
and the first hare killed was sent
back to the chief hotel for the dinner
Of the jury appointed at the Court
Baron.
1t is said that another feature of
the dinner was an enormous bowl of
punch, the contents of which would
cost as much as 98. The young Earl
Poulett, who is the lord of the manor
Of Chard, brought over the Seavington
pack of hounds this week and the
Mayor presented his lordship with a
gold mounted hunting crop as a
souvenir of the occasion. Later in the
day the Court Baron dinner was held
and the hunted hare was served up
with all the hOnOrs.
Judge Beresford held the monthly
sitting of the County Court in the
morning and in honor of the old GUS
tom decided to postpone judgment
summonses till the next court in or
der that there might be no commit.
ment of debtors to prison on that au.
spiciOus occasion.
