People.
Portland, Ore, June 3.
So many of our former Mil.
bank and Grant county friends
are located at Santa Cruz, that
during our stay there we felt
very much at home, and when on
the street at any time were like
ly to run across some familiar
face. While in the city we were
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. J. A.
Williams, who have a comfort
able home on Dakota avenue
within few min Vi tes walk of the
principal business street of the
city. Mr.. Williams is engaged
in the real estate business, aud
his old friends in Grant county
will be pleased to know that he is
doing we'll and that his family
are all in improved health since
coming to California. Harvey,
who was mere boy when he
left Milbank, is great strapping
fellow and is firing for his uncle
on locomotive, and Mrs. Will
liams aud Miss Lottle are both
enjoying better health than when
IN the more severe climate of the
north. Among the other Mil
bank people With whom we had a
most enjoyable visit were Mrs.
J. G. Wood and family, Mrs. Re-
becca Bell and daughters Ance
and Anna, Mr. and Mrs. Ora Nye,

in connection Herewith has q

things move, and of course be

wheels only touched the high
places-and some CT the places
out here are really high-the
road often skirting the noun.
