Governor Sheldon's Party Are Enjoy

On train just out of Santa Harliara, Cal..

Dear Colonel:
Well, Colonel, will give you a few im
pressions Los Angeles has made on yours
truly. I am not an expert on impres
sions, so just take them for what they
are worth, and they are wortn well
considerable to anyone who can keep
them down. In the first place, I would
say that the city is supported mostly
by tourists. I see nothing in the sur
rounding country to support such
grandeur, such lavish display, such
stupendous outlay of money to beautify,
decorate and build up gardens of Para
dise by planting, watering, caring for,
transplanting and importing this grand
exhibit of tropical flowers and trees and
shrubbery of all kinds. For mark you,
these tropical plants do not grow here
naturally, but must be brought from
other countries, but they do grow and
do well after they are planted here and
properly cared for. No, the wild land
here that has not been made over by
the hands of man, is as unsightly and
unattractive as the sand hills of western
Nebraska ever dare be.
Los Angeles is a large city; has many
of the finest buildings I have ever seen;
many manufacturing concerns, and the
finest street railway system jn the
United States for its size. It's people
are all full of vim and push everything
is on the double quick, and every moth
er's son of them is wildly crazy over the
future prospects of the town. There is
no "kockers" there. Everybody's ideas
and .hopes are up in the clouds, and even
the bare-footed newsboys fairly pity
us poor tourists who have to live away
from Los Angeles.
One of the buildings in process of con
struction is a million and half dollar
postoffice building. It will be finished
well, I know something of postoffice
buildings, so will say in twenty-five
years.
Sunday we made a trip to Catalina
Island twenty-six miles out at sea.
The night before the wind blew a gale
and was still blowing considerable, and
the manner in which we were "rocked
in the cradle of the deep" was fright
fvfl, When we started out every pas
KJF? was furnished with a two gallon
metal bucket marked "S. S," and very
few shirked duty. Sea sickness is no
respector of persons, for our Governor
was just as sick (or a little more so)
than most of the passengers.
I have traveled from Nebraska, mostly
for the purpose of seeing sea level, but
I have not seen it yet. . If Nebraska
farms were as level as sea level, they
would not bring fifteen cents per acre.
Yesterday (Monday) our party broke
up for the day everybody going or do
ing as they wished. I took a one hun
dred mile ride over what is called the
balloon trip being a semi-circle trip to
the north of the city with the final desti
nation Plaza Del Key. (a resort on the
shore) ; This was a beautiful ride, but
nothing above the ordinary for Califor
nia. On this ride we were shown the
Heights, where in 1847, John C. Fre
mont (the pathfinder) was fortified
when attacked by the Mexican General
Pico. In this battle . the Mexicans,

DC
though far outnumbering the Ameri
cans, were repulsed, owing very likely
to Fremont's advantageous position. I
do not think Fremont deserves any
great credit for having this advantage
ous position, for at that time, he had
the west half of the United States to
select from.
Well, last night, after the theatres,
we were all brought to our train and
were all sound asleep when we pulled
out of Los Angeles, and awoke this a.
m., on the shore line, with the Pacific
at our feet (so to speak) and still roll
ing the waves as high and careless as
when we were riding the hurrican deck
to Catalina. Yours,
Frank E. Sen later.
Accident Near Elmwood.
Otto Lau, residing on the former
Andy Hess farm, met with a serious
accident Monday evening at the farm
of C. P. Hall, where he and Mr. Hall
were handling horses. One of the
animals fell on Mr. Lau, breaking both
bones of one of his limbs, the bones
protruding through the skin. An
artery was also ruptured, causing the
wound to bleed profusely. Mr. Hall
was also struck by the horse and
rendered unconscious for a time, but
received no serious injury. Medical
aid was at once summoned and Mr.
Lau's wounds dressed. He is resting
as well as can be expected, but as the
injury is a serious one he will be con
fined to the house for some time.

The "Comedy of Errors."
"From the columns of the 'comedy
of errors' up the street, we learn that
W. L. Pickett has some interest in the
Devoe Paint Co., also that a man in
Weet Virginia painted his 18 gallon
house with 11 gallons of paint. Will
someone who understands figures ex
plain this puzzle?"
The above is taken from the Evening
"Fog Horn," of last night. It was in
all probability prepared by the gentle
man who has recently risen from the
positions of attorney and county judge
to that of a more lucrative position of
reporting for a small daily paper.
While attempting to "josh" another
paper over errors, would it not be bet
ter for the proof-reader below to be
very careful about errors in Ihe article
in' which the "Smart Aleck" attempts
his joshing? The article to which the
ex-county judge refers is an advertise;
ment, paid for at regular rates, and
printed just as requested by the parties
doing the advertising. But as the "emi
nent jurist," who waddles up and down
the street in que?t of what few items
that generally appears in the "Fo?
Horn," seems to be incapable of dis
tinguishing an advertisement from
regular reading matter, he is of course
to be excused for his ignorance. Nothing1
else was to be expected,
"Thou hypocrite, first cast the beam
out of thine own eye then thou ehalt
see clearly to cast out the mote from
thy brother's eye."
