October 7 we left Sacramento ond drove to Mr. Littleton's home io Lodl, California, 35 miles from Sacra mento, and will have to say he has a fine little home, so cozy looking, and not only did his home look nice, but the people end bis neighbors all around were there ready to greet us as If they were old acquaintances. We felt much at home here. After resting a day or so here Mr. Little ton and wife, and L. J. Davis and wife went out to the large wineries and canneries, which they went all through, and saw many Interesting sights, the girls joining them. We all visited the beautiful cemetery, which we noticed was well taken care of. The people all seemd to take inter est and pride in keeping their little town and cemetery clean.

October 9th -we left Lodl and drove to French camp, between Lodl and Modesto. October 10th -we left French Camp and drove to Modesto. October 11th -we drove to Turlock, which you Wallowa people are stuck on, and which is boasted up so high ly, but we have seen many other countries we like better than that. It is too dry and deserty looking for us. We drove on after noon from Turlock and camped at the bridge crossing the Merced river to Mer ced county. There we had to camp for the night and till noon the next Jay .before the bridge was fixed so we could cross. October 12. In the afternoon we pulled on for Atwater, our stopping point, which consists of a hotel, store, depot, postoffice, butcher shop, and several dwellings. We traveled on iy3 miles and landed at Leola Stone's, 1 daughter of L. J. Davis. She and husband and family arrived here from Washington last spring. We are all very busy now preparing to build on our new houses. We like the sountry pretty weM here. The weath er is fine. We are all getting our Till on watermelons, string beans, to matoes, sweet potatoes and grapes. Mrs. L. J. Davis' weight was 120 pounds, when we left Enterprise and when we landed here she weighed 110 pounds, so you see her trip did n't agree with her, but Arva, her daughter, weighed 139 pounds' when we left Enterprise and stuck the scales at 163 pounds. Sweet potatoes agree with her fine. The distance from Enterprise, Oregon, to Atwater, California, is 999 miles, a long trip to travel with wagons, and teams.
