January 10, 1923.
Dear Folks:
might write for a week and
not tell you all my impressions
OF Costa Rica, but most of them
VIII have to wait until / can
talk about them.
First, we landed at Port Linn
on III heavy driving rain. They
say that they only have two
seasons there, the rainy and the
wet. To get the hand baggage to
the dock a chain of stewards on
the gang plank and native boys
on the dock was formed, quite
like a bucket brigade in fire
drill, and bags, suitcases and
other parcels were rclayed from
hand to hand. They were placed
in a big box car on the track to
be taken to the customs house.
a long, long way up the wharf.
We were feeling very sorry that
our nice heavy coat and wraps
would have to go thru that
downpour, when word came
that we were to go up in the
box car with the luggage. So,
one by one we were hoisted in
and finally the engine hooked on
and away we went. 1t was my
first experience in a freight car
and l can not say that / enjoyed
it especially, for we were
packed as tight as ever sardines
were, yet that was better than
walking that half mile in the
rain.
Arrived at the customs house,
of course we waited ages to
have our baggage inspected.
weighed, ETC., then little black
boys picked up the things and
took them over to the station,
with US struggling valiantly af-
ter them, for to lose the boy
would be fatal. While some of
us bought the tickets, others
went to get money changed
And then, didn't we have real
bank roll! The Costa Rican unit
is the colon. four and a half of
which equals one of our dollars.
So when one has twenty dol
lar bill exchanged, he receives
ninety colonies, mostly in / and
2 colon bills. The colon is divid-
ed into 100 centavos, but they
have only 5 and 10 cent pieces,
and 25 and SO cent paper money.
One thrries hrbund a great
wad of bills all the while.
We bought tickets for the
chair car and hardly looked
away from the window once, the
scenery was SO beautiful. On
one side the waves of the Carri-
bean dashing on a sandy beach,
on the other banana plantations
or tropical forests. Then as we
left the shore, the dense jungle,
and later, coffee plantations and
in the distance, wonderful blue
gray mountains.
There were number of Costa
Rican men on the car and they
continually bought pineapples,
pejivalles IA little fruit that
jo oks somewhat like a tomato,
only, not so wide, and tastes
like squashy and sugar cakes
for us.
Only ninety-two miles from
Limon we reached a height OF
almost a mile, at RI Alto, on the
Continental divide. Our little
engine was working hard.
We arrived at San Jose, the
capital, at about four. 1t is
very beautiful little city of about
fifty thousand. Most OF the
houses and stores are OF stucco,

HULL SEES VICTORY
IN IOWA BALLOT

Chairman Hull of the democratic ma
tional committee has issued a statement
asserting that the result of the special
election in the eighth congressional dis
trict Of Iowa last Monday was notable
democratic victory.
The rock-ribbed republican eighth
congressional district of Iowa." says the
statement "at a special election Mon
day replied to the republican claims OF
President Harding's rapidly growing
popularity in the west and the wonder
ful benefits of the republican tariff to
the farmers by giving the republican
candidates for Congress a bare 1000
majority in a district normally republi-
can by between 5000 and 5000. J. p.
Daughton, the democratic candidate,
cut down the republican majority 1000
in 1922 against Representative Towner
and now cuts 1t down almost to the van
ishing point in a contest waged strictly
on national issues.
out of the eleven counties in the district,
all of which have been strongly repub-
lican. The big turnover is shown by
Appanoose county with republican
majority of 1870 in 1922, now giving
242 democratic majority. and Lucas
county with about 1000 republican ma
jority in 1922. gave $50 democratic ma
jority on Monday.
After two years of Harding high
tariff prosperity these figures reveal
the extent of the revolt among the in
dignant and ruined farmers not only in
Iowa but in the great west. This great
reverse amounting to a democratic VIC
tory presages a political revolution in
1924. 1t also proves that the democrats
are alert, united and eager for the fray"
