REGA|NED HEALTH
 AND SAW THE SIGHTS
Harry Friedman Home From An All.
 Summer Trip.

Harry Friedman returned home yes terday from a three months stay in California He went early and stayed late for the reason that he has been troubled greatly with rheumatism for the last year or SO and desired to give the mineral springs of Lake county a thorough trial. He had previously tried Southern California springs with but very slight beneficial results. He says now that whether permanently cured or not he feels fine and hopes he is. He says Lake county is a wonderful country for springs. There are more different kinds of springs and more of the same kind in a given area, than in any other part of the world he ever got into. In the particular place known as Towards springs there are forty two of them bUbbling out on a single acre of ground. At the Siegler springs there are forty of them on two acres while Harbin springs as everybody knows, has been a favorite training place for athletes in days gone by The Adams spring is quite a differ ent institution. There is but a single spring and the water tastes like kero- sene oil, but lots of people drink it and are restored to health. These are but few of the many springs for which the county is noted. MT. Fried man says he tried them all pretty thor oughly and hardly knows which ones to thank for his improved health.
 MT. Friedman says he spent consid- frTnn in is great city and gets greater every time he sees it, but it has it's weak nesses and vices He says that when it comes to grating it is the original school where the profession is taught He likes California and lots of the peo- pie in it; is enamored of their push and enterprise but he has to say in candor that he fears grating is the best developed of all the coast poli- cieS and that it permeates city. coun- ty and state institutions to a most em- harrasing degree. If one wants any thing the proper course to pursue is to see" somebody.
 Incidentally MT. Friedman having seen about everything else in Califor- mia worth while. journeyed to San Quentin and was permitted to call on the notorious Abe Ruef. who ."as re- puted to be the king of grafters. He says he had a nice little chat with | Abe and while he is not disposed to | minimize that mans achievements. Mir | Friedman says he believes that Abe had | some mighty accomplished teachers He does not give the eX-San Francis | r- boss credit for devising all the sue | cess ho had for a time through his | avn resources. He believes there are others who ought to be sharing his present loneliness. He says Ruef is -rNirs to be a good prisoner and hop ing for a time 'vhen the doors will swing aiar for him.
 Ir Friedman says he also visited | san Jose. Del Monte and Monterey and numerous other up-cOast cities. He eut out the Sacramento fair for he lnew all the good horses would be n Phoenix a little later. He also took
 deal of pride in noting preparations nr the big Scottish Rite temple of he Masonic order on Vanness street. he corner stone of which will be laid ,y President Taft.
 The weather earlier in the season v4s raw and unpleasant in the bay sec ion but August he says was a delight ul month in san Francisco.
