Times-Herald,
Burns, Oregon
Dear Editer: As this has been
a noted day via Straw hat parade
for San Diego and Ground Hog
day at our old home Burns. The
weather a Straw hat parade day
were working in unison and both
sides were out in full dress
parade for the occasion about
10,000 people in straw hats of all
sizes and shapes, in light suits
or their shirt sieves were in the
parade, with about a dozen band,
with one or two companies of
marine Soldiers with about 2000
school children nearly one half
of (hem were barefooted. Mrs.
Morton tried to put a shiver in
the parade by wearing her furs
but it would not work as she had
to take them off, she still claims
she could have made a better
impression if we had got on the
shady side of the street. This
is the first time we have been
able to see the sun for only a few
hours at a time since we left
Burns, we were in San Francisco
one week, and it rained every
day except one, the old timers
say that is the first time it has
happened since 62 and 63.
We have been over in Mexico
and on our return to our native
land we were all lined up and
searched by the custom officers
for dutiable goods, the Mrs. had
purchased in Tijuana a 36c hand
kerchief and all that saved her
from paying duty on same while
standing in line she happened to
sneeze and used the handkerchief
as a shield.
We have seen growing outside
red peppers, tomatoes and calla
lillies, in a few days we will go
over to Imperial Valley and eat
water melons. We have already
taken up too much of your time
and space and will
Close with best wishes,
H. M. HORTON.
