Wo concluded our last notes by referr
ing to Mrs. Mary Richards as being 0110
ot the party who accompanied us on our
travels iu 18-17. Wo will now refer to
another one of tho party who is at pres
ent a resident of Wilbur. This other'
ono is Mrs. N. T. Day, who with her
littlo brother was fastened in a saddlo
constructed for tho purpose, and tho
horse which they rodo led by another
brother all through this hazardous trip.
At times sunburnt, weary, and with
mosquito bitten faces these children
presented a rather ludicrous and
pitiful appearance as they occasion
ally nodded their heads, bound in
slumber caused by tho monotonous
tread of their easy going quadruped.
But again wc are at Santa Clara, and on
the second day of our arrival there was
speculating upon our future proceedings.
We were in a strange land surrounded
by strangers, Spaniards, whom wo al
ways found generous and hospitable,
and yet at the same time watching our
every movement. Our first move was
to find employment of some kind where
by to pay necessary expenses until Eome
conclusion was reached as to whether
our stay in California was to bo tcm-
porory or iermanent. Wo applied to
the English consul and he in consulta
tion with the padre learned that the
mission field of wheat was about ripe
and ready for harvesting, and by
reason of this consultation and
the information imparted to ua wo
entered into a contract with the padro to
harvest the crop. The Held contained
about fifty acres, and as near as we recol
lect about two miles from the mission.
So one morning we led op our horses,
saddled and packed them, mounted our
riding horses and proceeded to tho spot
where wo were to commence our firet la
bors iu California. We bad some fine
oaks with spreading branches under
which to camp, Indians to eupply us
ith wood and water, and so far we were
pretty comfortably situated.
The 'next morning we were supplied
with Ibo old-faahloned cradles and rakes,
and the time had come for as to maVo a
stroke for bread.
There were twelve of us camped there,
five of us capable of performing manual
labor. Breakfast has been partaken of,
we more towards tho field no fence
around it bat guarded by Indians came
to the grain and make the firet stroke
for that necessary commodity, usually
designated tho "stall" of life. The grain
falls aa we advance with our cradles, ui
for two boars we labor aasidioasly. when
swJfenly, withoaPii syllablo oi utterance
oca drops his cradle, Lays himself down,
adcrieiil'or 'water. Jfebad-beessekedi
with a fit of the ague and had to succumb
to its debilitating effects. He soon
scooted for camp. Soon another one
was seized with tho eatne symp
toms and he also scudded for camp,
and exo long the field was cleared of
laborers, and wo were all lying down
under the oak trees shaking with tbe
ague. And so it continued until we had
finished harvesting tho crop. While the
chill was on we lay in the shade, as Boon
as the spasm was over we wore up and at
it agaiu. Chill or no chill our bread for
tbe next few months must be laid in,
and we laid it in under difficulties. The
Spaniards wero astonished to see us so
atllicted with Uie chills for the climato
where wo were, was extremely healthy,
but when infonced of from whence we
came and had traveled down tho Sacra
mento, their astonishment gave way to
grins and grunts, as they considered
Columbia as they called Oregon, a
sickly place, and drinking Sacramento
water sufficient causo for us to be tremb
ling iu our boots, or rather moccasins,
for loots were then a commodity never
visible to mortal oyo. For threo weeks
we lay there shaking with the ague, and
still persevering in our work of harvest
ing that crop. One of the party, perhaps
it was the writer of these notes, persisted
in going to the pear orchard and filling
up on that luscious fruit every evening,
and then in the morning those same
pears would bo thrown to the surfaco of
tho earth from tbe same orifice in his
face that they went in at. S.
Our last sketch of travels left us at tbe
Santa Clara mission farm disgorging
pears from an overloaded Btomach, after
which our vonorablo parient administered
to us a big dose of calomel, sayiog: "If
that don't stop your eating twars you'll
lay hero all summer." Wo stopped and
wont to eating watermelons, had another
shake, lay down in tho shade of a tree,
and tho enervating fever that followed
almost inado us despair of lilu. All of
us finally recovered from tho attack of
ague, and our first thought wao what
next to do. Working iu tho redwoods,
making shingles and sawing lumber was
suggested, as that was about as profitable
a business as one could well enter into at
that lime. So, concluding that we
would make an attempt ut thai business
for a time, wo consulted tho old padre
about furnishing us some means of con
veyance to tho redwood timber, other
than our previous mode of trayol with
pack animals. Tho padre kindly fur
nished us with n Spanish carretta or
cart, ono yoke of oxen and two half
breed Indians to accompany us, and
tako charge of that immaculate vchiclo
furniehed us lor tho transportation of our
worldly goods to the destined point.
JSTho wheola of this cart wero about 30
inchoa iu diameter, And about six inches
thick, sawed from nn oak log of tho
proper dimensions. The burly team
that was to bo the propelling power of
this substantial vohiclo was two rather
unruly Spanish steers yoked together by
a stout pole fastened to tbe horns of the
animalB, instead of tho old American
stylo of yoko which was put on tho neck
of tho oxen. This polo whs fastened se
curely to tho horns closo to the hoRd
with strips of raw hido, tho oxon then
hitched to the cart, which had a top to
it to shade ub from thoaun's rays. Wo
now loaded up, signified to the two half
breeds that wo wero ready to move, and
then they, one on each side of the team
mounted on horses gave the oxen a prod
in the ribs and away they went as if
shot out of a gun. Theso half breeds
had at tho pommel of their saddles a
Ubso to uso should the team make too
hsadlong speed, in which eaeo tne lasso
was thrown over their horns and so they
were checked from any unnecessary
spied. This mode of travel was new to
us, and we enjoyed it hugely, for we
were well satisfied that those wild steers
could not got away with us so long as our
dark visagod drivers sat their horses.
We had about 23 miles to travol, with
out a drop of water for man or beast
until we had coyered the entire distance,
with the exception of a small jug full
which we carried along with us. Wo
will hero mention that but two of us
went in tho cart, whilst the others rode
tho animals they had ridden from the
Willamette valley. Prior to our starting
to the Redwoods wo learned that General
Stevenson, then making arrangements to
start aerofcs the plains to Fort Leaven
worth desired to purchase eome good,
well-broke mules. Wo wont to Sonomt
where General Stevenson was encau)ed,
called on the Quarter Master, informed
him of tne object of our visit, when he
immediately stepped out to the corral
whoro wo had left tho mules, iiiFected
them, inquired where they came from,
and then on being informed, remarked
"just the very animals I want; they are
used to travel nnd iu good condition.
What uo you ask for them?" After
some parleying we sold the moles for
forty dollars each, which was a rather
high price for mules at that time, for
Spanish unbroke mules could then have
been bought for tweuty-five dollars. So
theso mules, after having been packed
from the Willamette valley to California,
wero immediately started across the then
great American desert, and we after
wards learned that they stood the trip
well and amved at Fort Leavenworth in
good condition. This we learned Iroui a
discharged soldier wko accompanied, or
rather was under tbe command of Stev
enson during his passage eastward across
the plains. We retraced our step3 to our
camping place at the mission field, and
as above Btated, we made our exit from
that camp and struck for a fortnne in tbe
Redwoods. Wo may stato how we
achieved that fortuno. S.

Hot Creek In Alaska.
A correspondent of the Sitka Alaskan,
writing of the wonders of Hot creek, that
flows into the Stickecn river, says:
"There you see a creek or small river,
opposite tbe great glacier, a few hundred
feet above Choquette settlement, which
river or creek is not less than 75 feet in
width, and sir or seven feet deep, one
half of it flowing ice-cold ater, the
other half scalding hot, pouring into the
Stickeen river. During the fish run,
standing upon tbo bank of the stream
one can see hundreds of fish running up
on the cold side of tho stream. Major

A Change Is Promised.
Sax Fhaxcisco, Sept. 9. The story of
Blanche Lamont's last journey will be
told in Judge Murphy's courtroom dur
ing the present week. Many details
which the prosecution was unable to
supply at the preliminary examination
will be forthcoming, and the proceed
ings will furnish a dramatic interest
strongly in contrast to the mathematic
al monotony of the past week.
Eyes were on the vounc school cirl
and her escort that afternoon, and those
eyes will tell of the steps they saw
taken on that tratric iournev. Eves
were on the unsuspecting girl and the
young man supposed to be Durrant
when they boarded the car at Powell
street and when they ctnered the Bart-
iett-street church, from which one of
them was never to emerge alive. The
owners of these eves will tell their
stories, fully believing that their organs
of vision were not deceived. Attornevs
for the defense will stoutly contend that
they are misken; that their eyes have
played them false and that it was not
Durrant but some other person they
saw with Blanche Lamont. In two
cases at least there has been no conceal
ment that Dnrrant's attorneys would at
tack the clearness of vision of the wit
neeses, and on the ground that the
latter had a plain physical defect in
their eyes. These two. bv the wav. are
the most important witnesses for the
prosecution Mrs. Mary Vogel and Mrs.
Caroline Leak. The prosecution has
been aware of this intention for some
time and preparation has been made to
frustrate it. In the case of Mrs. Leak,
that lady, it is understood, has confided
to the police tliat on the day Durrant
and jury visited the church she was
easily able to identify the defendant in
tne crowd on the sidewalk from her
window. She had not been previously
notified of his coming, but the moment
the party took its stand on the sidewalk
opposite she is said to have picked the
prisoner out immediately. Mrs. Hack- 0
ett was at her side, and as soon as the
old lady saw the group she turned to
her companion and said: "Whv. Mrs.
TIackett, there's Theodore Durrant."
Mrs. Leak has been seen herself to
confirm this story, but she still prefers
to keep her story until she reaches the
stand. If the story is correct it will un
doubtedly go a long way to establish the
competency of 3Irs. Leak's vision.

said Mr. Muller, "while Mr. Clarke was
examining Mrs. Vogel's eyes. He ex
plained the case to me and I made an
examination mvself. I found that with
her left eye she is capable of seeing all
sue claims to have seen. There is a
light myopia (nearsightedness) in that
organ equal to minus 1-CO sperical. The
right eye is a little more so, minus 1-40
sperical. Without glasses she read test
type calculated to be discernible to the
normal eye at 50 feet at 20. AVith the
refraction of both eves corrected bv the
two lenses she was able to read the test
type 40 feet at exactly that distance."
