Dear Sir: I am wondering if | am

am | certain that she left any heirs
That is what l would so much like to

Your very truly,

SlURM TRAILS
BEHIND On WAY
TO CALIFORNIA
(Ccntinued frcm first page.)


Madison division and living in Baraboo.
There is nothing too good for Mr..
Wright, as he is stopping at the KOS
allyn hotel, one of the best here.
Farmers between Omaha and Den
yer are raising lot of sugar beets.
They have a side track every five or
six miles, and there is raised broad
platform about 20 feet high, and they
drive up onto it and unload by chute
down into large gondolas.
In some places suppose, on account
of the scarcity of cars, they have ABOUT
an acre of them stacked about six or
eight feet high.
We saw a few verses in paper
the other day about the happy Cali
fornian, and here they are:
The Happy Californian
BY E. A. Brininstool
oh, the happy Californian! What a
favored land is his,
Where no zero zephyrs freeze him and
where blizzards do not bliz!
With what wild enthusiasm does he
prance about and boast
That the only earthly Eden is the mild
Pacific coastl
For he doesn't wade through snow
banks when he starts to feed the
stock,
And the sidewalks are not covered two
feet deep around the block.
But he sits out in the sunshine with a
smile upon his face,
And just thanks the Lord he isn't in
the eastern fellows place!
On, the happy Californian! Undis-
turbed by wintry fears
AS he starts down town for business
that he'll freeze his toes and ears!
Through the night he doesn't slumber
while mad bTeezes howl and storm,
With a dozen blankets on him, quite
unable to keep warm!
There's no water pipes to thaw out
in the early morning light,
That were frozen tight as thunder
through the dreary Arctic night.
Yes, indeed, he's glad and happy that
he's living in a cline
Where the plumber doesn't rob him
through the awful winter time.
oh, the happy Californian isn't both
cred nights to know
That the mercury tomorrow may be
forty-fve below
Glad and happy in a region where the
icicles are unknown.
and the bowling. yowling billiards.
never shrek and screech and
moan
And he doesn't have to hurry, with the
chills upon his spine,
Dodging snowballs, as he hurries to
the restaurant to dine;
But he thanks the kind Creator that
he left the frigid East
To return to which he never never
bankers in the least!
Oh. the happy Californian! AS he rises
mornings, how
He rejoices that he isn't back in old
She-cawgo now!
Where the piercing wintry demons
make folks SILVER nights, and
dread
To go chattering up the stairway to
their lonely, icy bed!
But he thinks with kindly pity OF the
foolish ones back there,
With the frost-bites and the chilblains
circulating everywhere,
oh, the happy Californian thanks the
Lord he didn't stay
Where the furnace eats quarter OF a
ton of coal day!
think we better ring off while the
editors heart is in the right place. Re
CARDS to all.
