This field Is about four miles from

much, expect to though Sunday. This
one particular place looks almost ex
actly like Grants Pass. The soil Is
granite with lots OF scrubby pines
scatter around, but I think they are
artificial like most all OF the trees
in these countries. Most all OF the
crops they raise here though are
grapes, and wheat and the French

interested me most is Uncle Sans

a lot OF our own cars, while a lot Of
the locomotives are American. II
