Oakland, Cal, July 4, 3 p. m.
Dear Jimplecute:
AS the 4th of July has ended,
and we have had quite a strenu-
Gus day and as I have written
nothing since we struck the Pa
cifc ocean at Los Angeles, I
thought I would send your read
ers a short sketch in the time
before we go to supper.
We reached Los Angeles,
thus finishing the 'srun across
the continent at $50 a. m. June
23rd. In the fine Union depot
there of the Southern Pacific
Co., we got our breakfast, sliced
oranges and halibut fish at a rea-
sonable price, and at Z p. m.
took the daylight train to Co.
shen Junction, about half way to
San Francisco, running on the
main line through the San Jua-
quin Valley. We assembled noun
tains and penetrated 40 Or so
tunnels getting to an elevation of
1000 feet above the sea. At
that elevation at a place called
Mohvae we took lunch and got a
slice of splendid apple pie, with
iced sweet milk. We reached
Goshen at 8 and Coalingasat 10 p.
m. whence we met Vandyke
ready to receive us. I was pref
ty much exasted, but stood the
long trip better than I thought
I could.
We remained 10 days at Coal
inga, a fine new city of 5000 peo-
pie. We were most Hospitality
received and treated; were given
three fine rides, autos-through
the oil fields, which are said to be
the largest in the world; larger
than those at Bakersfield,
which we also saw in passing on
the train. There are four pipe
lines through the coast range
of Sierras to the ocean, besides
the railroad, to San Francisco
to handle the vast output of oil.
We enjoyed a comparatively
cool atmosphere, sometimes the
ocean winds a little for 10 days.
On yesterday we came with Van
dyke and his wife to the end of
our ticket trip and I have had
to wear my overcoat ever since
reaching here yesterday evening
Today in the glorious eli.
mate of California % everybody
has been celebrating the "glori.
GUS Fourth" and nothing else
has been doing. We crossed the
bay at 9 a. m, and went up Mar
ket and Haight Streets to Col
den Gate Park where they say
the Worlds Exposition will be
located in 1850
It is the largest and mostmag
nificent place I was ever in anc
tho I soon gave out physically
yet, reclining in sheltered anc
sequestered hooks, and watching
so, 1000 people with lunches, has
kets-children's play grounds
swings, merry-go-rounds, etc.
and getting a fine cup of coffee
and sandwich, we enjoyed thu
day, returning at 4 p. m. back t.
la comfortable room; though
quite cool and wearing my over
coat, of course we have no fire
but I would like to.
! I think we will Cd. W spend
week here sightseeing and thel
go to Mt. Hermon, Big Trees
and Santa Cruz.
I hope to get back home, no
cured, but improved, by some
, time in August. My bronchia
, affection and short-winded as
thmatic condition still worries m
in high attitudes, as well as her
on the ocean, otherwise I an
stronger and enjoy the ocea
breeze much. If I can't get ri
of my asthma I may be HON
, sooner. Love to everybody.

THAT RRmCE RTLL

Perhaps it is not too late to rescue
that bill in the legislature which has
been killed by house committee, and
which seeks to provide the county
commissioners of Kansas with the
ways and means to repair and rebuild
bridges adequately. The action of the
house committee in killing this bill
is merely some further evidence of the
lack of attention and concern that is
frequently given by members of the
legislature to matters which are of es-
sential importance to many people
throughout the state.
Until couple of years ago the law
on this subject was to the effect that
county commissioners could spend a
sum not to exceed the original cost of
the structure. This was a most rea
sonable law, most necessary law, be-
cause the disastrous freshets which
occasionally prevail in many of the
larger streams of Kansas have the
faculty of often wiping bridges entire
ly out of existence. Many of these
bridges cost from $4,000 up to $780,
600. But in the wisdom" of the leg
islature of two years ago this law was
changed. 1t was amended so that
county commissioners could spend no
more than $4,000 for the repair of any
one bridge that might be damaged
much or little by a flood or in any
other way. If more money was need
ed it could only be obtained by hav-
ing the necessary bonds voted.
1t is to be presumed that no bridge
is built in Kansas that is not neces-
sary. Indeed, in manv populous To-
calities in the state there never have
been enough bridges. Ard surely
bridge that it is deemed necessary to
build should be kept in useful con-
dition continuously. AS soon as it is
damaged it should be repaired at once.
But that can not be done under the
law as it now stands without special
bond issues. No good argument can
be presented to show the reasonable
ness of such situation. At the re-
cent annual meeting of county com
missioners of Kansas there was a
unanimity of opinion among the COM
missioners in the counties where it is
necessary to build bridges that cost
many thousands of dollars, that this
Legislative mistake of a couple of years
ago should be rectified. and If the old
law on the subject were not put in
force again, the tCOuHly CO1AllAA1SS1OuOAS
should have at their disposal a bridge
repair fund Of $4,000.
Do the members of the legislature.
few of whom have had any experience
in the conduct of county affairs and
the building and repair of bridges,
think that their opinions in the prem
Uses are paramount to those of the
county commissioners? 1t looks that
way, but there is nothing in such an
attitude which will bring them any
prizes for their discernment. It is
just such legislative inaction as this
that brings the legislators in for SO
much of the criticism that is leveled
against them. Here is a matter of
much Importance to the larger coun-
ties of the state, yet it is brushed aside
by house committee as not being
worthy of attention.

A restaurant story, in the Concor-

then take their dinner from a basket,
which they brought from home,

happened again the clerk advanced
the price of the coffee to fifteen cents

proprietor, who told the man that he
was certainly entitled to something

knives and forks. After that the
family always went to the same place
to eat, but they bought their dinner
instead of bringing it with them.

4xnrPRopER PRACTICE.

A letter from Topekan, which was
published in this paper recently, is
worthy of more than passing notice.
This gentleman went to the county at
torney's office some time ago. to see
if he had cause for criminal action
against another party. He stated his
case to an assistant county attorney
and was told that the case was not of
a criminal nature, and. the only re-
dress could be obtained through a
civil suit. Not long after this, the
gentleman received a bill from the
assistant county attorney asking a fee
of $25 for the advice that had been
given.
This incident emphasizes a fact that
has been we'll known to many people,
that assistant county attorneys. at least,
have been in the habit of using a pub
lie Office for the conduct of their pri-
vate practices, and have often acted in
a fashion similar to the one noted
above, and frequently to their own
pecuniary advantage. 1t is a custom
that has nothing to commend it. In
deed 1t should not be tolerated or per-
mitted to exist.
1t is undoubtedly true that assist
ant county attorneys do not get any
thing that borders on the excessive in
the way of salaries. There are plenty
of candidates for such positions, how
ever, and this may be due to the very
fact that the places are so convenient
to enhance the private practice of
those holding them. 1t is not reason
able. either, with the salaries of as
sistant county attorneys at such low
figures to compel them to refrain from
the private practice of law. But they
should certainly be compelled to keep
their public duties and their private
practice distinct apd separate. Nor
should they be permitted to use public
Office room as their private offices.

Our ability to eat, if one may judge
