Letter from Los Angeles.

Los ANGELES, CALF, Feb. Is, 1916.
| think it is time for me to write you
again, to let you know that l did not go
down the roaring Los Angeles river in
the late flood. | was on high ground and
watched the devastation from a safe
distance. First reports sent out were
very much exaggerated. The death list in
Southern California will not exceed Is,
Seventeen were drowned in the Oatey
Valley, where dam broke. These were
ranchers, who had small farms and rails
ed vegetables and ruit. The heaviest
Joss is to railroads and interurban car
lines, but now trade and traffic general
ly are resumed. San Diego county lost
every bridge, and will cost close to
81. 900, 900 to repair the damages. Thou
sands of unemployed men have been
working night and day. The Santa Fe
road ran the first train to San Diego last
Saturday. The damage in this city was
small. A few small houses went down
the Los Angeles and Arroyseco rivers,
mixed up with hen coops and outbuild-
ings.
Fine summer weather the past two
weeks-75 to 81 in the shade This is
the time when the different States have
their annual picnics. On Washington's
birthday $4,000 Iowans picnicked in East
Lake Park. Ninety-three counties were
represented, and each county had pic
mic of its own. This is the largest pic
mic ever held in Los Angeles. think
some Of the cows at home were not
MIXED that night. On the 10Th North
Dakota turned out over 1000 people,
who were glad to get away from the So
below zero temperature they have had.
There were 1000 Montanians who had
lodged the 67 below zero they have had
in that State. Part of the New England
States have basked in the sunshine I'M
der the palms, cyprus and pepper trees,
and more are soon to follow. There
now. The streets are black with them,
and the hotels and apartments are doing
land Office business. We will be lone
soma when they go. Booz Bros. have
five cafeterias, and they say they are
feeding 10000 daily, and more than
twenty others are doing an equally good
business.
In my last letter l said l would write
you something about the wet and dry
campaigns we are having in California,
Maine is Prohibition State, and l know
you will be interested to know our situa-
ton and what we are dong to get rid of
John Barleycorn. California is unlike
any other State, in beng wine grape
growing State. In whole counties IN
the north part it is the chief industry
and vast sums of money are invested in
wineries and the grape ranches. The
growers are mostly men who have come
from Italy, Greece, and other wine
growing countries, and they believe in
drinking wine and cannot see any harm
in it. The wineries hold mortgages on
nine-tenths of these ranches and the
owners are practically slaves to the
wineries. They do not get enough price
for the grapes to scarcely live decently.
The winery pays them just what it
pleases. Thousands of acres of grapes
dried on the vines in San Juan valley last
year. You could buy them for half
cent pound at retail in some places.
These wine men and the liquor traffic
work together against Prohibition. In

ments. To tell you the honest truth
cannot see any victory for US this year.
The United Liquor Dealers Association
is raising million to put in here. Every
saloon in the State has already been
taxed $40 each for the fight and each
employer in the business must contribut t.
$4,000 to the cause. No stone will be
left unturned to make California i'm
pregnable for the rum traffic.
California has over Is, 900 saloons. If
they are taxed $40 each you can see
what a vast sum Iof money they will
raise to defeat Prohibition.

The Institute.

The teachers are loud in their praise
of the Institute which closed last Fri
day afternoon. Nearly one hundred
teachers were in attendance, as fine
body of young ladies and young gen.
tIemen as ever come together in the
county.
Prof Huffaker made no mistake in
securing Prof. McDougIe as the in
structor He is ain educator of State
wide reputation and is perfectly IA
miliar with the common School work.
He has a happy gift of imparting
knowledge, and he certainly endeared
himself to the teachers of Adair coun-
tY
Prof. Harris, who is principal of the
High School, Winchester, was here,
in the interest of advancing the moon
light schools for llliterates. He ad.
viSed the teachers upon this branch
of education, telling them of its prog.
ress in the mountains Of Kentucky.
The Adair county teachers became
very much interested, and many Of
them will take up the work.
Other visitors were here and through
out the week many interesting talks
were made.
The institute was a success, and the
parting of the teachers, and the song
God Be With You Till We Nee
| Again" brought sorrowful emotions Il
every heart.

According to appointment, Rev, A.

Church, Campbellsville, filed the pull
pit, forenoon and evening, of the Pres
byterian. church this place, last Sunday.
1t was Rev. Links second visit to Co.
lumbia and the first to occupy the

sweltering, large audience greeted
him at the forenoon services and a
goodly number heard his evenings
discourse. He is jealous, pointed
speaker, and all who heard him were
well pleased. He is Biblical scholar,
but breaches in simple language in or
der that the younger set may under
stand and take in his words. While
he had but little time in social way,
his hand was clasped by many Column
bans and warm Invitations extended
him for return visit.
