evening January roth. Cheese will be
made again this year on the last day and
those who attend the meetings VIII
have the privilege Of bringing milk to the

the swells were larger. We saw two
whales and quite a few flying fish.
We landed at Avalon about IL
o'clock and were very much interested
in watching the boys dive for money.
We ate our lunch and then wandered
about until time to go aboard the glass
bottom boat. There was great deal
of seaweed in great stalks and many
beautifully colored fish.
There were great big stingeries.
whose stings are poisonous. The boat
went quite slowly until we came to
Seal Rock, where we watched the seals
sporting in the sunshine. Coming back
we went faster and were soon on dry
land again: We did not have very
long to wait before the Hermosa was
ready to receive passengers.
We again watched the boys dive.
Several would go at the same time for
one piece of money. One time two went
for a half dollar and fought for some
time under water. The boat started
and we did not get home until after
o'clock and felt that we had had a
very interesting trip. Your niece,

Visits Our Seaport

Dear Aunt Laurie:
L will write and tell you of a trip
we took to San Pedro this summer:
We were visiting some friends there
and they took us out to Point Fir
min in the morning. After a short
car ride we reached the point and
went down the winding steps to the
big rocks near the water. The
water is splashing up on them
most all the time and we had to be
careful SO as not to get wet There
is very good fishing from some of the
big rocks.
There is a lighthouse on the point
with a very powerful light that can
be seen for many miles at sea. Many
new houses are being built and there
is no doubt but Point Firmin will some
day be a fine resort. On our way
back we got an excellent view of the
government breakwater and outer har-
Dor. In the afternoon we had fine
ride in a steam launch; it was dandy
little launch painted green with the
name "Dora" painted on its side. We
saw the boat that won the race to
Honolulu last year and some of the
big dredges in the inner harbor.
We went toward the government
breakwater passing Deadman's island
on our way. A person does not realize
what a wonderful piece of work the
breakwater is to look at it from the
shore; you do not think 1t is much
more than pilings of rock out in the
ocean, but when you are close to 1t

Mexican Baskets and Curios Offer
Temptation to Tourists
First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie;
NOMING from New York to Los An
geles was a very interesting trip,
~ at least 1 thought so. When we
got to Buffalo we stopped off to see
the Niagara Falls. was only five
years old then, but remember distinct
ly the roar and rumbling noise of the
fall.
Some kind friends in Chicago had
packed a box for us to open half way
to California, for my brother and my
self. 1t contained puzzles games and
books, for brother, who was older and
could read. These little things occu-
pied our time and made us happy.
At Mexico we had to change cars
and we had plenuty of time to look
around. 1 was not impressed with the
place at all. The dry hills everywhere
with only sagebrush and cactus were
not inviting.
You see we did not stay at the City
of Mexico, but some small place. The
people were very interesting and I en-
joyed watching them very much.
Mother bought some baskets and
things they made that are very odd.
We have them now.
We were very much pleased when
we came into California. The palm
trees were strange to us, for we do
not have them in New York: When
we got in Los Angeles papa was there
to meet US and we were all very
happy to see each other, after the long
separation.
like Los Angeles better than New
York now. MARCELLA MAHAN,

CAMPING PARTY VISITS
SAN JUAN HOT SPRINGS
Honorable Mentionl
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
ON August the 3rd, 1907. we left
Hynes for a trip to the San Juan
" Hot Springs. We started in the
morning and ate our lunch over by
Artesia under some trees. Then we
went on and at evening we reached my
uncle's place at Anaheim. When we
got there nobody was home.
We camped under the big trees there
all night; next morning we started for
Santa Ana. There were lots of walnut
trees along the way and very pretty
scenery. We camped that evening at
Santa Ana. Then next day we started
on and came to the San Joaquin ranch
there were beans planted pretty near
all the way.
We ate our dinner under lone tree
on the San Joaquin ranch. That after
noon we went on and took the wrong
road which led to a sheep camp.
Finally we reached our friends house
in the mountains. While we were there
papa and my brother saw snake and
a king snake.
We stayed there a week and it was
very pleasant there. Then we all went
to the hot springs. On the way we
had a good time. We saw the old San
Jaun Capristrano mission.
After we left San Juan Capistrano
there were trees pletty nearly all the
way and every once in a while we went
across the river. Going up the grade
| got out and walked and got scratched
by the cactus. When we reached the
hot springs it was getting dark
We put up our tent under some great
big oak trees. 1t was a nice place to
camp, as there were big trees and
grass and a nice stream running along
where we could get water. We went
IL, hafhfno N fha praal and also took
hot baths at the springs. In the afters
Moons we would go away up in the
mountains and get ferns. Would like
to have told you more about 1t, but
could not, as it would make it too long.

The latter is a very small insect with
a large bite. They come In droves and
when they arrive you have to go to
bed to get away from them.
Cape Gracious is inhabited by two
classes Of people-the Spaniards and the
Indians, The Spaniards there are like
the Spaniards everywhere-they want
to put everything off until tomorrow,
and that tomorrow never comes.
Most all the Indians live on tropical
fruits, and they are good 1 will have
to speak one word about the scenery.
All about the cape is a dense jungle OF

First Prize)
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
n NE pleasant summer we went on
a camping trip up the Santiam
~ river to the Soda Springs, the
best water that was ever drunk. The
water was cold and sparkling right
out of a rock basin.
From there we went on to Clear Lake
which is in the summit of the Cascade
mountains, the same range as the
Sierras of California.
This lake was formed by some vol
canic eruption long ago, which damned
up the head waters of the Willamette
river and formed this lake.
1t is a beautiful body of water .and
so clear that a white button can plain
ly be seen lying at the bottom. Tall
fir trees are standing in the bottom,
just as they grew so long ago, but
you cannot reach the top of any of
them with long fish pole.
We left our lunch on the bank under
a tree till we came back from row
in a canoe. When we came back we
found that the squirrels had eaten the
contents of the basket
We then walked over to Fish Lake
and had a fine dinner at the hotel.
The weather here was very bracing.

CENTRAL AMERICA Is
MASS OF VIVID TlNTS
Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
7 WILL TRY to describe trip to
Nicaragua, Central America. My
u father was the American consul
there and he had sent for US to come
to him.
We left Los Angeles on the Sunset
Limited about 3 o'clock in the after
noon for New Orleans. That night we
passed through the California desert
and the next day crossed the Colorado
river. We passed through Arizona,
New Mexico and Texas and arrived in
New Orleans on the evening of the third
day. 1t was on that evening l got my
first taste of the southern mosquito, but
the worst was yet to come. The steamer
we were to take was not in port and
would not be until the 18th, we having
got there on the Sth. On the morning
of the 18th we went down to the boat,
which was a fruit steamer, and aboIt
noon we were steaming out of the gult
into the Caribbean sea.
We had a nice smooth trip, and on
the morning of the fourth day we
sighted the coast of Nicaragua. NOW,
as you know, the tropical countries are
chiefly composed of large forests and
dense vegetation, so the first thing we
sighted of the land was the tree tops
sticking up above the horizon. 1t looked
as If the trees grew right out of the
water.
That evening we landed at Cape
Gracious Adios, and began our career
on Nicaraguan soil.
Cape Gracious Adios is a quaint little
town composed chiefly of Indian huts.
1t is also known in history as the first
place that Columbus. put foot on in
North America. 1t received it's name
from Columbus, Cape Gracious Adios,
which means thanks be to God, or cape
thankful.
The climate at the cape is fine. as it
is on the coast and gets a cool sea
breeze. But two things which are very

At the time my father was the book
keeper of the branch of large meat

came to see us twice or oftener each

for anything to make an impression.
Early in the morning, about o'clock,
I would wake up, then 1 would let up
the shade a little bit so 1 could see
out. Sometimes | would see Vlllag IS
still asleep, then farmhouses where the
occupants had already reused them
selves, then miles of fertile fields or
green woodland.
We were not long on the ocean, and
soon Moro castle was sighted. This
is a lighthouse and prison combined
situated on a neck of land that Juts
out at the entrance to the harbor OF
Havana. The word moro has
curicis derivation.
Th. Spaniards call the Moors of North
