Truly, for a few days most of that state could announce "run- ning water in every room" just as a diversion from the following, common in the parlance of the Native Son: "Ours is a wonderful country, wonderful in area, wonderful in diversity, wonderful in promise, wonderful in fulfilment. If California were animate and articulate, she would say: 'The sun shines not on any state in the nation which presents to its people a more happy combination of pleasing combinations than p do I; I give to you an as varied and as beautiful as bounteous nature ever bestowed on any people of any land; a panorama, picturesque, charmd ing, ranging from and pine-cla- d eminences, embellished here and there by dell and declivity; by purling stream and verdant meadow; vast vistas of plain and valley, bedecked with carpets of springtime flowers and the golden flow of sum' " mer's richest harvest.

Leaving San Francisco by motor the. morning of Thursday, December 28 in a fog and driving rain, the traveler went to the Red Bluffs country, 200 miles north, to look over and arrange for cultivation of a tract of land comprising 60 acres that cost $16,500 nearly 10 years ago, and which to date has ben productive only of Irish dividends annual taxes. 20 Pounds Wheat to Acre A tenant of three years ago, who planted wheat on 20 acres of the tract said he harvested "four sacks .clear."

UTAH NO. 27 Announcement A Representative Newspaper the 29th, in a driving rain ' the traveler had to make two detours to get over to the main highway to Chico, due to bridges having been washed out. Veritable Lake Flood conditions in the Chico district are virtually indescribable. The countryside as far as eye could reach was a veritable lake. For fully fifty miles the road was mostly inundated, and farm houses and other buildings stood, mute objects of pity in water several feet deep. Pigs had climbed upon haypiles, and poultry, more dead than alive, roosted on fences or other objects above the water line, while cattle floundered about in the water. Sacramento Valley, in its entirety, was flooded, and for hours the car traveled at slow pace, more like a boat than an automobile, This condition prevailed on down to Marysville and up to the foot hills of the Sierras at Grass Valley. The climb over the mountains began at Colfax, and it wasn't long until snow was encountered. Blizzara Next ' During twenty years' residence in the intermountain country on Page Four - ' |
