Editor of The LEADER:

Odu EauClSCO, Cdl. VI ar. ~, 10
Editor of The LEADER:
We were not asked by either of
the editors to send any word of our
visit to the west but thinking our
friends might like to know something
of our progress we write these lines
permitting the editors Of the LEADER
to publish any part that their good
judgemnt nay desire OF course in

Here we spent the Sabbath and at

churches of the city. The First M r.

equal the entire population of Canton
Los Angeles is surely wonderful
city for It's age and at present it is
crowded with visitors as we'll as the
two cities where the expositions are
Nheld. Tuesday Mrs. Thurston and my
self went up to San Francisco by way
of the Southern Pacific. This is a
thrilling ride and gives one great
variety of scenery Now you are runn-
ing through valley Of vineyards and
orchards, again you are along the
beach of the ocean where as far as the
eye can see there is one vast expanse
of water, later one is winding their
way up the rugged sides of the coast
range going through tunnels and over
deep gorges. One is made to realize
something Of the size Of this great
state when they find it takes just
about sixteen hours to make this trip
and Jet one has tTaveTsed scarcely
half the length of California. We
spent but one day aud an evening al
the exposition. It is easy to be seen
that the war has crippled this great
exposition. Germany, Russia and
Austria have no exhibit at all. Eng
land, France and Italy have not yet
finished their buildings and it is a
question IL they will. A number more
of the foreign countries have started
but have not finished their buildings
and yet the exhibit OF our different
states and the countries not greatly
