Smyrna times., 1909-11-24

There could have been no meeting
more friendly or more imbued with
the spirit of fairness and justice,
than that which was held by the peo-
pie of Smyrna and vicinity Friday
evening, to ask for more and better
accommodations and comforts in its
train service on Smyrna Branch.
The meeting was hearty, sincere and
enthusiastic. No attempt was made
to demonstrate with or dictate to the
railroad authorities what they shall
do with the little gasoline motor
car. All appreciated the fact that
the Company was experimenting, and
that their effort to reduce expenses
was only a move which any business
concern under like conditions would
do. Neither was the type of car criti-
cized. No material objection was
made to the use of a gasoline engine
as a motive power. These were
minor points brought UP at the meet
ing. What the body of representative
business men and citizens asked for
was a car that would meet the nee IS
and demands of town the size and
Importance of SMYRNA car with
more and better seating capacity,
larger baggage quarters, better heat
ing and better ventilation. These
points were elaborated on at length
and not a man present but felt JUS
titled in making such a request.
When the Committee of Seven goes
before Superintendent Whitney with
its strong petition, it will no doubt
be considered seriously. The mes
has urged such a course ever since
the motor car was installed. 1t
was a good meeting and we hope will
be forthcoming of good results. We
have no other thought but that the
P. B. & W. Railroad Company
will take care of Smyrna in the fu-
ture as it has in the past. Despite
the fact that they have figured the
Smyrna Branch at a loss, they have
endeavored in the past to give US the
benefit of a good train service and
with larger and more comfortable
motor car, this service could be con
tinued. 1t will do Smyrna no harm
to have a committee of its represen
tative citizens visit Superintendent
Whitney. They can at least have
better understanding in the matter
If they can get what they ask for il
addition to having the motor ca
make its return trip from the LOS p
m. nOrthboud train, and go still fur
ther and have the first afternoon ex
press north, stop for Clayton an
Smyrna passengers, their efforts will
gain much for Smyrna. Let US hop
the ne can do something fo
US.

lished in the old creamery building
owned by c. L. Diven, provided it

things which could happen to ad-
vance the interests of the commun-

effort last Fall to get creamery men
interested but it took the dry season

them that the coast was the place
Several different companies have

the business.

A Letter.


To the good people and enquiring
friends of Lincoln county, Oregon,
| write once more. The other time
wrote we were in Burrough Valley.
We stayed there nearly four months,
but did not like it there as all farm
ing is dry Land farming and the
land is rough and stoney and the
birds, especially the woodpeckers,
{ are very hard on the fruit and nuts.
Then there are rattlesnakes, scor-
] ions, centipedes. tarantulas, lizards
or swifts, diamond bugs and ants
enough for four states. The 'dia-
mond bug is blood-sucker and
comes to your bed at night like a
bed bug but much larger and can
fly. To some people their bite is
very poisonous, and make some
very sick. One woman there was
bitten and her friends thought she
would surely die. We found one in
Roys bed one morning full Of blood
but Roy is bug proof as it did not
hurt him in the least.
We are now in Fresno. | took u
trip over to Morgan Hill, a distance
of nearly two hundred miles, passed
through some fine country and some
not so fine. | liked the country
around Morgan Hill. Prunes,
peaches, grapes everywhere. was
in one large peach orchard. 1t was
a sight to see the trees covered with
large yellow peaches. | was made
welcome, and / ate until | became
like the boy who ate the black berry
pie. He told his mother he did not
like blackberry pie.
On my way home | had to lay
over in San Jose from 8 a. m. until
!, 4:30 p. m. After walking the
streets and looking at the beautiful
trees and palms and flowers until |
was tired, | took an electric car and
rode around the loop, thirty miles,
seen a fine country, orchard after
orchard.
Here at Fresno ON the east side
for twelve miles is almost one solid
vineyard. Grapes of all kinds, and
| suppose it is the same on all sides.
| am told that there are fifty pack
ing houses here. | am at work in
the Fresno Home Packing Co. |
8 get 1715 cents per hour and can
work as many hours as | wish.
They run every day in the week
and part of the night. They let
me off before Sabbath, that is sun
down Friday night, then | work
Sundays.
The Adventists here have a mem
bership of over three hundred and
a house of worship that cost, | am
: told, $i1 900. My wife's health is
still improving and my health is
excellent. We have seen rain only
once since we came to California
: one continuous sunshine. Roy
started to church-school today.
l We are happy and getting along
fine.
: With best wishes to all the good
I people of Lincoln county, ! remain
