within one hundred yards from where it

three small children, the youngest being

about 350 feet then rested on the mud.
We think this indicates that there is
no outlet or inlet, the water is what
was left standing, the mud having set

it would probably flow above ground.

pear against Mr. Robison, he doesn't

A very interesting letter from Prof.
L H. Britell dated July 23rd, at Los
Angeles, California was received by
friends in this city, part of which we
quote: "From Denver through Colo
rado, New Mexico, Arizona and Cali
fornia the thing which most impressed
me was the dry, barren hills and plains.
Dry, bunch grass and sage brush seemed
to be the only thing cattle or horses
could find to eat. The green grass seen
on the hills about Columbus is not
found on the 1500 miles of territory of
which I speak. I saw a few cattle,
from 50 to 100 in a herd, at places along
the road; the fact is I was much disap
pointed at the lack of vegetation all tho
way across the mountains. At some
points in New Mexico and Arizona the
ground was free from all vegetation, and
was of a brick red color. We saw a few
places where they irrigated a small
tract of land. Here at Los Angeles the
ground is dry and parched, except that
which is under irrigation. The rainy
season corresponding to our winter will
bring abundant vegetation again. If
more water can be obtained this conn
try will become one of the finest in
America. The climate here is delight
ful. The one thing people of southern
Cal., possess is climate. Rent, board,
clothing, everything is very cheap. For
5c. the restaurant serves a pretty good
meal, and 15c gets an excellent meal.
This is one of the finest cities in the
world. I am more than pleased with it."
