Milk Talk No. 2. '
CLEANLINESS
As milk is the natural food for the
young, containing within itself all
the retirements of the body, and
as any adulteration is injurious to
the system, (either from absorp
tion or otherwise) therefore the
health of the consumer, and espec
ially,1 . the young, depend, to a
great extent upon those who handle
the milk. And as there are so
many ways in handling the cow as
well as the milk after being drawn
from the cow. Every consumer
should visit the place from whence
he gets his milk (no matter if it is
surrounded by a high board fence)
and see how the cow and the milk
are handled before using it as a
food for the baby.

Editor Observer: - -
I have been asked , by a number x of
people since my return what I think of
California. I will say that it was - the
time of my life. I never again expect to
travel so many miles, pass over so many
beautiful drives, behold such lovely land
scapes and to attend so many grand re
ceptions in so short a time as we .did on
our recent trip to California. Only a
partial description will I endeavor to give
as a full description could only be given
by an artist.
We left the union depot at Portland on
December 15 and after traveling between
4000 and 6000 miles, from Portland on
the north and Tia Juana, Mexico, on the
south, besides many hundreds of miles on
side trips, arrived In La Grande Feb. 1 3.
aval au 'wotm Z '. i-jZ, . At '''.
we pulled out of Portland on December
1 3, at 6 p. m. Our special consisted of
six Pullmans, a baggage car, a day coach,
and an observation car.
Our first stop was to be made at Sac
ramento so two dining cars were attached
at Ashland. Our band consisted of 18S
people, from every walk of life, from the
banker to the dairyman. Our greatest
drawing card was His Excellency, the
governor of Oregon. He seemed to be
equal to any occasion from quieting the
feelinge of a babe to expounding to the
great assemblies of Californians who
gathered to meet us at every station.
There were few incidents of note from
Portland to Sacramento. . The most of
our time was devoted to becoming ac
quainted. ' Everything went smoothly un
til 1 o'clock of the morning of the 1 5th
when our little Bessie became ill, requir
ing the services of a doctor. From this
on Mrs. McAlister was deprived of many
of the pleasures of the trip. 7 -
While we were going to the land of sun
shine the rain fell in torrents from the
time we crossed the state line until -we
reached Paso Robles. Our time to arrive
at Sacramento was 9 a. m. but we did
not get there until 11. v The people of that
city had planned a great time for us but
on account of the rain, the drivee were
omitted and only the luncheon and ban
quet at the Chamber; of Commerce were
carried out When the guests returned to
their cars, they found a basket of fruit in
each seat
- At 2:30 our train left for San Francis
co, arriving there at 6 p. m. Alt except
Mrs. McAlister, Bessie and I went
across the bay to the Hotel St : Francis,
We remained with the car and were Uk
en over during the night to the Southern
Pacific 3d street station. '"
As at Sacramento, the heavy , winds
and rains caused the omission of the rides
as planned and the principal entertain
ment was the reception at the hotel, a
visit to the Chamber of Commerce, and
for those who wished it a trip through
Chinatown. . '. ;
At 9 a. m. on the 17th -we pulled out
for Palo Alto arriving at I. Carriages
were waiting to drive out to the Leland
Stanford university. ' Mrs. McAlister, as
Bessie was feeling tetter, went and I
remained in her stead at the car. Our
next stop was at San Jose where we
had luncheon at the Hotel Vendome,
then a -ride through the Santa Clara
valley, via Saratoga Springs and Los
Gatos. After dinner a reception ' was
tendered us at the Chamber of Com
merce. '
We started 1:30 p. m. for Del Monte
and arrived at 2. The next morning
after breakfast we were driven out
This was the most beautiful coast drive.
On one side was seen the ocean with the
seals In all their glory, arising on one
wave to be covered bo the next' On the
other side were seen the beautiful hills
with evergreen forests. As the rain was
traveling at a rate such as Ladd canyon

Reports from the mines during January has
warranted a raise, consequently stock has gone '
up to 1 cents, and this is not all, it will keep
. going up as long as the property gets better, as
it is you should buy before another raise in
price, or you will miss a good investment. You
should consider this as being a home enterprise
and , help the matter along, thereby helping
yourself.

with a fine rain as would do r.r.Hit tn
Portland and as most of the carriages
had no covers, and the umbrellas had
parted ways with their tops. I think it the
most romantic ride of the trip. Leaving
after lunch we arrived at Pao Robles at
6 p.m. At this Dlace aiioonnn h.th
house had just been
which was thrown open to the Oregon
ians. Either a plunge or private bath
was at their disposal. All availed them
selves of the opportunity After break
fasting at th Hotel El Paso de Robles
we left for Santa Barbara, arriving at
p. m. .This was the first time we had
seen the sun. The rain during the night
fell to a depth of 3 inches. We were

close together. After luncheon we visit
ed the mission and took a stroll along the
boulevard and beach. ' .
After dinner aa every other place, we
were given a reception. -We were then
shown through the Hotel Potter, from
roof garden to kitchen. This huildinir
covers something like ten acres. The re
gular raters' of this holster v are SI 0 a
day, but if one desires a little extra at
tention, very good service can be secured
for $20. At 1 1 in the evonlncr we start
ed for Los Angeles arriving the next
morning early. Before we left the cars
we were Waited upon by a committee
from the Chamber. of Commerce and each
presented with a silk badcra showing th
beaver shaking hands with the bear.
afterward being shown through the build
ing. At, 9 o'clock "we were met at the
Salt Lake depot and were given a free
ride to Loner Beach where we soent th.
day. At the beach station were met by
nunareds or people and escorted by a
band to a large auditorium .where a. re
ception was held. After this we were
given a free auto ride to Devil's Gate. We
were promised (hat this gate would be
closed during our stay. The bath house
was thrown open, and all who cared took
a salt water bath.
We were taken to Cataline Island, a 30
mile ride across the water. There we
were taken out to view the sea gardens
in a glass bottomed boat This was the
grandest sight. I have ever witnessed.
We saw the sea lions so gentle that one
could almost put their hands onto them.
Old Ban. the leader of the herd, ie esti
mated to weigh 1200 or 1400 round.. '
On the 22d we were taken to North
Beach and Venice where we ware roval
ly entertained by music, a luncheon and a
Banquet. Here we met our old Grande
Ronde friends. J. T. McComas. Henry
Wildey, "Cay use" Smith and Mrs. Kirk-
iana.
On the 23d we were taken to the mi.
sion, where it cost nothing to get in but
1 0 cents to come out - At Pasedena a
lunch was served at the hotel Green; and
we visited the hotel Ranon and the ostrich
farm. The ladies were not allowed tn
pluck plumes from the great birds. , I
will say that our badges were worn all
through the trip, and took us to every
thing without money or without price.
On the 24th we took a triD to Mt. Lowe'
the highest peak in-Southern California.
On the 25th we took a trio to San
Diego. We were met bv a commits.
and escorted to luncheon. We were tak
en over the city in street cars and vi.ifed
another ostrich farm.
Old Mexico awaited us on the SBth.
We visited the Sweet Water dam .nd
National City. The dam is a grand piece
or work,' being S 00 feet long, 100 feet
wide at the base and 40 feet at the top.
It cost a million dollars, and will be used
to iiore water for irrigation.
Our trip as a body, ended on the 27th
by a ride on the briney deep.
On the 28th in company with mv wife's
father and a real estate agent we went

out 30 miles to look at soma property, re
turning the 29th. On the 30th we ' re
turned to Pasedena. On the 3 1st 1
helped Mrs. McAlister and her mother do
their wishing.
On February 1st' Mrs! McAlister. her
mother and 1 went out' near Fullerton
where we were entertained by Mr. and
Mrs. Baxter, old friends of Mrs. McAlist-
er's. On the trip we passed through
splendid orange and walnut groves.
On the 4th we went to Riverside where
we were the guests of Mr. and Mrs.' Lu
cas. Here we met- Charles McAlister
who took us out for a drive. We took
luncheon with him ' and Mr. Golden at
their beautiful home. We thought the
drive one of the most beautiful of any we
had visited. Charles took us through the
packing house also the box factory. ; At
the latter place the boxes were made by
machinery. They were turned out at the
rate of 8 to 6 per minute.
On that day 1 packed my grip, bade
goodbye to Mrs. McAlister and Bessie and
on the 8th left Los Angeles for home.
Now, as to what I think of Souther
California, it is a fine place to winter and
spend your money. It would be hard to
find a place where mora enjoyment can
be gotten for a season than there. 1

? Something entirely new in Oregon enm
law occured this week, when Governor
Chamberlain revoked the commutation of
sentence of Joseph La Berge, who was
released from the penitentiary after serv
ing two years of a five-year term for
burglarly committed in Portland. Le
Le Berge was released in August 1908,
upon condition that henceforth he would
be law-abiding. He recently broke open
some autumatic slot gat meters and stole
the money deposited therein.
The governor desires that the young
man be brought back to serve the remain
der of his term. All the papers in the
matter have been sent to District Attorn
ey Manning, and La Berge will be given
a hearing in the circuit court if he to de
tires, upon the question whether he can
lawfully be returned to serve the unex
pired portion of hit sentence.

near that her family had watched by ber

urgent request Dr. Kingt New Discovery
was given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con;
tinued until she finally completely recov
ered, and is a healthy woman today."
