From San Jose, California
Dear Mr.. Thompson:-

Dear Mr.. thompson
Enclosed find check with which
to grease the wheels of the Pioneer
Express for another season. Please
credit half to Mr.. Ryan and the 9TH
er half to myself.
The firm of Short, Ryan and Com
pany has been dissolved on account
of Mr.. Ryan's and my health and
the remaining partner has gone to
San Joaquin Valley. 1 have been
closing up the affairs of the Erm
and am about through and will aoon
be man of leisure with a question
mark after it.

ont of the game just now when the
only real boom the country ever had
is on. Prune ranches are bringing
from $4,000 to $4,000 an acre now,
and three years ago you would
give a man scare if you quoted
$1,000 an acre.
George Ryan and I are interested
with our Mr.. Williams in peaches
over in San Joaquin Valley. Had a
good crop last year and at a good
price, as you probably know if you
have had occasion to buy some
"Home Brand" canned ones lately.
If you would put the crop in 40
pound boxes such as they are car
ried in, and put the boxes end to
end they would have reached over
thirty miles. Some peaches. We
have three hundred and seventy acres
in all, of which one hundred and
sixty are partly owned by John Nc
Caffery of Pembina. They are all
rented out so all we have to do is to
see that the ather fellow does it.
We buried James Baker, former
ly of Neche, who has been a resi-
dent of our city for several years,
Saturday morning. He died very
suddenly. From what I can learn
he probably ruptured blood vessel
cranking his machine though the
paper stated it was heart disease.
DR.. Stanley Kneeshaw is here
though I have not seen him since
Christmas when he took the part
of Santa Claus at our family festi-
vities and did a good Job of it too.
Of course you know that Mr.. T.
R. Shaw is here. He is doing brok-
erage work at present though he
has been in drug store until lately.
Isabel is teaching school, Esther is
an expert stenographer and Jack
is in the Bean Spray Pump Com
pany, and Fred is going to school
Mrs. Kennedy, formerly Miss Flos-
sic Eyford and her little son are here
also. I have only seen her once
Flossie and Theo and their fami-
lies were with us at Christmas time.
The former lives here in San Jose
while the latter lives about twenty
miles from LosAngeles, at San Bar
nado.
Fred Ryan has a dandy practice.
More than he ought to take care Of.
He has to break, away and 60 hunt
ing or fishing about every so often.
George Ryan is building a hne
new horse and will nrohahlv get IN.

PRESIDENT GOES
FOR MOTOR RIDE
Enjoys Drive and is Cordially
Greeted Along Potomac.
MANY WAVE GREETINGS
For the First Time Since Illness MIR.
Wilson Leaves the White House
Grounds-Amazed at Pork Prices.

Washington, March 4.-President
| Wilson went for Il motor ride, leaving
the White House grounds for the first
time since he was ordered 70 bed, last
October, by Rear Admiral Grayson,
his physician.
| The president was accompanied by
| Mrs. Wilson, DR.. GraysOn and secret
| service men, and took a spin around
the "Speedway'' along the Potomac.
A closed car was used and the party
left through the southwest gates.
| Photographers who had waited several
| weeks for the presidents reappear-
ance in public We're prohibited by the
police from taking photographs.
| Almost ideal weather prevailed for
! .he presidents ride, the day being as
| balmy as one in late spring with only
a gentle wind stirring. The car was
| kept closed throughout the trip. The
| president sat in the rear with Mrs.
| Wilson, and kept his cap in his hand
| most of the time.
! From the Speedway" the president
| drove back into the city and down
| PENNSYLVANIA avenue around the capl'
| fol and thence to the White House
| He was out a little more than an
| hour and appeared 70 have enjoyed
| his outing.
Going through the capitol grounds
the president passed Senator Borah
| of Idaho. Recognition was stmultane
| Gus, both waving their hands and smll
ing. Throughout the trip DIR. Gray
son said, the president was delighted
and remarked he felt as if he hao
been away from Washington for
! long time.

ways in reading signs when he is mo

waiting amid the Wreckage.
This is the Interpretation placed by
many upon recent happenings inside
the presidents party.
1t is said the president has never
considered a third term for himself,
but would like to see a third term
given his principles. This is under
stood to be especially true since he
became convinced the treaty of Yer
sailles must inevitably play a domin-
ating part in the elections. FamilArs
at the White House are persuaded the
president will leave no stone unturned
to secure the nomination of the can
didate whose views on this subject
coincide most nearly with his own to
vindicate his policies and give his
principles the third term"
Until San Francisco, therefore, the
president is confidently expected to
eemain a political sphinx.

DEMOCRATIC RACE
STILL OPEN TO ALL
The President Remains Silent
on His Choice.
WILL SHOW HAND LATER
Men Close to MIR. Wilson Believe He
Will Not Make Statement-Enters
Last Year of Office Today.

Washington, March 4.-One year
from today President Woodrow Wilson
will take leave of the White House,
and. pen in hand, resume the life of a
private citizen.
He will not be Il candidate for a
third term, those whose minds "go
along" with his declare.
In the meantime, the Democratic
narty has decided to move on to San
Francisco without him.
This does not mean the party has
decided to ignore him as its leader,
but candidates for the presidential
nomination on the Democratic ticket
will toss their hats into the ring as
fast and freely as they choose, with
the full approval of the president.
only at the convention will his choice
be made known.
Men close to the president are con-
WINGED between now and then, he will
neither make an official statement re-
garding his own political intentions,
nor come out with anything which
| mi gllI Dtt IdhCLl ttIA ~ -
a successor to himself.
The presidents mind remains per-
fectly open on the subject of candl-
dates. those who reflect his opinion
say. William G. McAdoo, for long
time, was spoken Of as his choice foi
the Democratic nomination. Then II
was Herbert Hoover until Hoover
came out strongly i'll opposition to car
rying the treaty of Versailles into the
campaign, when his stock waned. Now
according to gossip, Attorney General
Palmer, whose candidacy has just been
announced, is the favorite.
Political forecasters are expecting
the president to make no such political
move as to give his personal support
to any candidate prior to the conven
ton in San Francisco. At the conVen
ton they expect him suddenly to tos:

president remarked to Mrs. Wilson,
THAT brings it home to you when you
see a big sign like that"
The president passed many groups
of people who recognized him. He
smiled his acknowledgment of their
greeting. Quite often women who re-
cognized to him waved to him.
Decision to allow the president to
go out was made by Admiral Gray
son. Mr.. Wilson, anticipating a
good day, suggested he would like to
go riding. When he renewed the sug-
gestion DR.. Grayson acquiesced. The
presidents closed car and a secret
service machine drew up to the south
entrance of the White House.
A few moments later, the president,
accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and DR..
GaySOn, came out from under the
colorado. The president walked 10
| the car with the aid of his cane. DIR.
GraysOn was at his side and held
lightly to Mr.. Wilson's arm. The presi-
dent was assisted into the car by DR..
GrtysOn and Mrs. Wilson. He wore
his old gray sweater under medium
weight Overcoat.
After passing the capitol the presi-
dent returned to the White House by
way of the Union Station and MasSa-
chusetts avenue, entering the White
| House grounds through the south gate
! opposite the treasury.
DR.. Grayson said the president had
been much benefited by his trip and
an examination Of his blood pressure
on his return showed it to be quite
