Los Angeles, Dec 31, 190& "To the Editor of the Daily Astorian" Dear Sir: I promised you when I left that I would let you know how ! was getting along, so here goes: "We left Portland the 10th of Nov ember by the Southern Pacific and after a rather pleasant ride arrived in 'Frisco. The old city is certainly changed and it made me feel a strang er when I failed to locate the old land marks that I knew in younger days, for 1 had seen the City grow up from 186S. The earthquake with its fire had changed it all, and to realiie the great devastation saddenca me it was like losing old friends. "In the re-building they are making steady progress; everything is being done so substantially and the people are surely deserving of great credit. Their plans are big and several years will elapse before they are carried out. The business portion is more scattered, some of it being moved up town 16 to 20 blocks. On Market Street where the throngwas once so dense one may now move with com parative ease. "A'ride on the Sutter car to the Cliff House gives one a good idea of the burned district. The Cliff House with its Sutro treasures was gone and even the sea-lions on the rocks below seemed badly depleted in numbers. Poor San Francisco has certainly had a hard time of it and on top of it all had to come the "grafting" which has taken thousands and will take more. "After a week's stay we journeyed farther south to the old town of Santa Barbara, a beautiful city of 13,000 people. It is a quiet place and where rest is required it is an ideal spot. There are many fine residences, castles one might say built by east ern people. "We spent ten days roaming arounl and then left for L6s Angeles. This City is grand and we fell in love with it at once. Parts of it reminded mi of places we have seen in Europe. We make headquarters at the Lanker shim Hotel. Here one finds people from every State in the Union and many from abroad. There is so mu.-.h to the city that a stay of six months is really necessary .to appreciate everything. However, we are due in Arizona and after spending a month here we took the train for Bisbee, th; biggest mining camp in Arizona, 'n fact in the southwest It has about 18,000 people, built in a gulch and so really has but one street. The elevation is about 6,000 feet and the winter climate much cooler than one would expect for being so far south. Here my two sons. Siegfried and Arthur joined us, and after a separa tion of four years we indeed had a glad re-union. They own a mine about ' thirty miles from Bisbee and have good values in gold, silver and copper. From what I could learn their property has much merit and I only hope Dame Fortune smiles on them for they are working like Tro jans and rertainly deserve reward. They assured me, however, that should they fail this time they would keep a stiff upper lip and tackle it again with renewed hope and en ergy. That in itself was worth the trip to see them. "We spent a good old-fashioned Christmas together. The day follow ing we visited the surface workings of the principal mines, all of them right in town. The wealth some of them represent is tremendous, the Copper Queen being estimated at over $100,000,000.00. "With one of the geologists of thi Calumet & Arizona Mining Company, the young folks went down the Houston shaft, 1300 feet, and for two hours roamed through drifts andcross enfs, watching, the miners at work. From their description I almost wish ed I had accompanied them but it was shape and is being well patronized, meeting all trains, night and day, and making itself useful and wholly ap preciated. The steamer Lurline was on her schedule last evening, with good busi ness in and out of port. When she when up she had the following peo ple on her register: Mrs. D. B. Cof fin, Miss E. R. Hawkins, H, A. Hart, E. A. Wentworth, R, M. Plummer, O. Weidner and G. T. Silverman. The Lurline came down with Isaac Turpin in the pilot house, in place of Pilot Johnson, who is detained ashore for a few days on legal business. jtoo hot for an old Oregonian, i "After a week's visit,( and we eu joyed it), we took up our return journey of 606 miles to Los Angclc-i. On this we ct a chance to see th. Arizona Dessert, which supports but cacti, horned toads and Gila mon sters. Also the Salton Sei which three years ago was dry land, some of it 250 feet below sea level. Now there is 80 feet of water and the rail road was compelled to retreat threi times with it track and now skirts the foothills. Then, too, the Imper ial and Cochilla valleys the resort of health-seekers. Water was once a question but now the artesian well have solved it and Indio, with its la creasing orange groves, bids fair to become a rival of Pasadena. "Well, I am finishing this letter from Los Angeles. Tonight is New Year's eve and we will spend the evening at the Orpheum. The week coming we intend to go to Catalina Island, and after our return will spend some time taking side trips into the surrounding country. , "Wilma and I are enjoying fine health. I have not felt so well in four years and my illness is becoming thing of the past. Good care and judicious dieting, and by Spring I hope to be entirely recovered. "I get the Astoria papers and the Oregonian and so keep informed of home doings. I received the City election returns by wire. They did not turn out as I expected, but a Democratic Mayor and a Republican Council should make a good adminis tration. "Tomorrow, New Year' Day. we will spend in Pasadena, witnesMmj the Rose Tournament which is held annually on the first day of the year. "In conclusion, 1 send everybody a most Happy New Year.
