3000 ostriches.
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. We are
now in &an Joaquin county. I want
to speak of the Flame Tokay grape
for which the country Is noted.
We enjoyed eating these very much;
they are very large and have a beau
tiful color. There are acres and
acres of them on every side you
look. Mr. Littleton had picked a
box In which he had a bunch weigh
ing 16 pounds and one weighing 11
pounds.
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.
This ends our story.
