Generous Donation
Duly Appreciated
Hopes Gift To Minneapolis Poor
Acknowledged With Thanks.
One of Largest and Best
Ever Received By
The Mission.

The following letter was received by
the local parties who recently collect
ed and shipped the large donation of
clothing, etc., to the Union City
Mission of Minneapolis:
Minneapolis, Mimi, Feby. 8, o..
The shipment of clothing finally ar
rived and was delivered to US 4 days
ago, but with a shortage of one barrel

receipt showing the same and it will
have to be traced from your office.

one of the largest and best gifts that
we have ever received and I assure
you that it is fully appreciated:

clothing is disposed of in just the con

charge made whatever. AS we have
great deal of clothing that has to be
cut up and made into smaller garments
where the mothers are competent and
able to do this, they take home work
and then return to us the garments
made up and they are allowed a GER
tain number of garments for the work.
We havea large demand from single
men and their circumstances are about
as varied as the number of applicants.
Some have squandered their means;
others have met with misfortune. Some
have come from hospitals and so there
are variety of reasons why they
apply to us. In order to not help
pauperize these applicants, if the man
applying to us has little money we
allow him to pay us, say twenty-five
cents for garment, sometimes as high
as dollar. This fund is used to help
defray the running, expenses OF this
department. OF course we have ap-
plicants who are in destitute circum-
stances and it is from drink. To such
we give clotheing of the poorest quality
so that they cannot dispose of it and
get some cash, and yet it will keep them
from freezing. Then we distribute the
better garments to men who are worthy
at least as far as we can determine. In
many cases the giving of garments
outlined here, accepting a small pay
ment has proven great blessing, and
months and years afterwards we hear
from it.

Mission platform and gave a short

vicinity. You remember that I told
you sometime ago that it was impossi-
BILE to go any place without finding
Dakota people and tbs true.
Having obtained about all the in
formation we could remember at Holt
vile; last night we came down to
Elcentro over Mr.. Holt's private
road in his car propelled by gasolene
and this morning came down to Cal
exico, the most southern town in Cali
fornia. We had dinner and the first
place we went was over across the
border into Mexico to see New, river,
this is the channel made by the
Colorado river, when it broke loose
four years ago and went roaring down
to the Salton Sea. This channel is
practically dry now, it is wonderful,
its width is fully eighty rods and a
hundred feet deep with perpendicular
banks. You can see that the material
is the same down to the bottom and
not pebbte or rock anywhere in this
foundation, in fact the soil is just as
rich at the bottom of this channel as
it is at the top of the ground. This
Mr.. Humid that is with me and who has
been resident of California for the
past thirty-ive years, is acquainted
down here and we were introduced to
a business man here, who invited US
to take drive out to the G. M. Ranch
an immense stock farm, whose head
quarters are only two miles from
Calexico. The buildings are on the
U. S. side, where they have nine hum
dred and sixty acres of land mostly
in alfalfa with fat horses, cattle and
hogs running on it. Then just across
the road in Old Mexico (and you CAM t
tell the difference in the land) they
have million acres, a hundred thou
sand of which is under ditch and in
alfalfa. We drove through some OF
their private drives and I don't think
a finer or more beautiful body of land
ever existed. This afternoon was my
first time in lower California but it is
easy to see that if it belonged to Uncle
Sam the face of that country woul6
soon be changed.

two months ago and the clothing that
he wore would not have sold for
twenty-five cents and yet last evening
he had the appearance of a refined
gentleman and is holding very good

very large part.

shall have stock enough to tide us
