This sentence 1 expresses the ;;Vieww
taken by the press of Great Britain of
the grave condition of thing in the far
East as' revealed,1 by the fact that; the
United StatesT finds it necessary to send
marines to Seoul' f or the protection of
American interests. While it is still
hoped a ieaceful issue may be found
this action is held to indicate the view
.of the situation taken at Washington
is that the crisis is drifting rapidly to
the danger point. The action; of the
United States is generally' approved.
'The' Morning Post says editorially:
"The landing of American marines
provtr that the' United States is not
watching the far Eastern imbroglio
without irrt exigent interests. "

from Salem,! my -homo fr ' the'past
twenty-seven years; and where, 1 am
free to: say, it hat they have been ,so
many years of-pleanrx as" well as profit
and lots of lahor. Now, I am hero for
the winter, at Santa iur a Iwantiful
city, by the largest, quietest, and fmpst
sheet of water, of any lay on the Pa-
.cifie tVj(it. ! ' . : .'.
This is' right fn the divide, letwcen
the. North and South, where all kinds
f tropical, aa Well as Nortlicrn fruits
and vcgetaldf do w.-ll,'ant is noted as
leii!g the original home of -t he -. Iogan

I will teihyo of our trip here. .We
left Salem, Novcmter -4, for San Fran
cisco.' We took a tourist jsleecr on
the night train, in order to - travel
through the nionntinsiby"dayight and
the scenery was wonderful. ' - r
Wo arrived- at Shasta Springs just
after lark. but the uvilin and m1s
wero all lighted- tip by elertriifityi, wo it
was nearly as light as day. They re
the grandist HMils and fountains of the
most delc ions jnineral water that'. can
lie f,ound, with thor sparkling" ice.'coM
wnter. '
From, there we nler4 till daybreak,
each one with a tower like that of a
wind mill, and it is also- a great mining
center. Fryfi it here down through the
San Feritando valley, where olives and
strawl erries are rai.ni'd in great abund
ance. We abn issed the fatuous pig
eon ran-h, ; where ' thousands, of piteous
are raised for tho laaikct. I
We now-arrived at the hind of the
angel, but they aie not the Mind of
angels that have wing or fly ihey
dott'tfly unless yon get nut your mncy
and want to. Ini'! something. LosIAm
gelcs is a bcnitiful city, and is spread
over a large territory.- it was very Hry
and, dusty. The dys were-intenscly
warm, -while the nights were very cool
and very chilly. iSww and 'then there
waa u s.-inl atorih'-.-, called tin? "Snnta
Aonar" l-nHie it came from; that
way. The -population'' is one hundred
and twenty hyc thousand. '
At Clendora, twenty five miles out,
wo found'Al Savnge, of Salrm, with his
family, nicely bcatel among the orangw
and lemon groves. Ho has a " nice home
on a small ranch, and is happy and 'lin
ing well and they all have good he tit h.
lie took his horse and carriage and we
drove, a long distance through orange
and lemon groves. It is a grand and
lieautiful sight, as well as a profitable
uidetry. '- ! '
At Ornnge,' thirty' miles imulhsof Loft
Angeles; we found Mr. AinswOrh, an
when we found ourselves at Sac riHnentni
anil arrived at H-in Franc iseo about .U
o'clock of the i necond day's travel.
Iler we rt-mained ten days, and ft
ciirse,; lost nO time in looking over tho
new and wonderfnt ilgids In the city -the
mint, the t'lift" llot.', the;s'als, the
parks, the chutes, the shipping, . tho
famous Golden Gate. Ihit the grandest
to me were the fortifications ahd pa
ra' leu at the Presidio. We were trcati!!
to a fine ride all over the grounds aal
a walk through tho hospitals and wards
by a former . steward, a Mr. Iw-rry,
whotte former borne was on the Saniiain,
noar Lyons, . ia Oregon. , lie is a line
young , ma , and is doing a good busi-Bf-sa
inthe city. ) r
thir next move, that is. What m
left of us, for we'were ncsiily blmllcss
from the voracious ' flean, which never
seem to tire of bleeding the tourists (all
same land agents) was through the San
Joaquin A-alley "to J'renno jnd Pakers-
nell;. throngh some alkali and Whatsis
