The automobile goes f ull " to the limfCof passengers each way nearly every trip. This is very encouraging to the owners," and its continuance means the putting on of more automobiles.

Is Free of Encumbrance -The congregation of the Central Con gregational church feel that they are to be congratulated over tne fact tnat they now have a neat, capacious and comfortable meeting plaee that is ab solutely free of encumbrance and they paid for it themselves. Tne House or worship now occupied by them, situat ed at the corner of Seventeenth and C'betueketa streets, was purchased from to First Congregational church, and formerly constituted the prayer meet ing and Sunday school rooms as an ad dition to the church.

Down Where the Son and Moon Looks Large and the Stars Seem So Near That Ton Might Climb to Them with A Ladder An . Interesting Country. (The Salem people of . fifteen years ago will remember Alice Wheeler, daughter of A. F. Wheeler, assistant state treasurer; She has many friends here -yet wno will be pleased Co hear of her through a series of letters writ ten from across the wafer, which the Statesman will take the liberty of publishing, though they were not writ ten for publication. She was married two years, ago to William Pomeroy, a mining engineer, and their bridal jour ney wan to Australia, where lie was engaged as superintendent of mines at Day Dawn). ; Day Dawn, Western Aastralia, Nov. 9, 1903. I'm almost afraid that youH be disappointed in me' Tor likrcg ten country and this place so well, for we have been here but a Buort time, anti you may-say that we don't know yet wnether we like the country or not. The trip from Colombo to Freemantle, the port ox - Western Australia, was without . incident, ; and we are but scarcely" settled, and pernaps not set tied at all, but we are in love with Day Dawn, and our home is good enough lor anybody. The mining goes on continually, and from the office where I am writing I can hear the steady grinu of the stamps. The sound is exaetly like that I of the ocean breaking upon the shore. n 1 1 J. ' -m lucre jb goou, uoueii wo ueing uone down here. There is production and aHvaneement all around me and 1 like the noise and bustle. How much bet ter this is than living a life of idleness anywhere, especially in a big eity. I have been down in the mine, 3000 feet below the surface of the ground, and have seen the operations as they daily take place, and am really becoming (in my mind) quite an expert in mining. The daily routine of life is mueh the same here as in other countries. We have breakfast at 8, dinner at 12:30, supper at 6, and tea at 8:30. As I said in one of my previous let ters, I go out riding every day, or al most every day. Yesterday and today I had the pleasure of Will's company, and we drove from 5 to 6:30 p. m. Both evenings the sunset was gorgeous. Last night ' the sky : was a marvel. To the south was a heavy etorm with forked sheet lightning. We could see the rain coming down in great torrents then in the west was that great old sun. Bigt r ; , . Perfectly enormous. And settingfbe the gran)18t clouds. To the north - k , - - t- fc t- I iuo "y waa ciear. anu in me ease lue i. fTl 1 .1 1 T i iuc Buusci. iuo cuiuriug iuum ciouus ""-J " "" "C stopped the buggy and looked at it. To our right not ' 2U0 yards away was a Turk's cabin built on a small hill. At the base of the hill and on the level ground a train of camels had halted, some standing, some half reclining, and on a shrine in front of the house stood three Mohammedans dressed in pure white, faeing the sun and bowing low, at the same time kissing the earth and saying their prayers. They would kneel i a while, then stand up, then kneel again and kiss the earth. It was a strange sight. 'Will and 1 thought we, too, could kiss the earth on sueh a night as that. Tonight the sky is dear not a clood-'-but the coloring rich and trans eendently beautiful. How I wish you all might see this country. ' You would enjoy living ? here. : There are some mountains, lava beds, many trees- millions of them, but all small. "Wild flowers and peculiar grasses are abund ant, growing in patches. The general 'ebtor of the ground is terra cotta, and the roads are splendid. It is such fun to drive through the bushes. Every turn of the road brings to view a new picture. I am continually on the look out for kangaroos and wild 'turkeys. They have evaded me so far. The natives are coming in for the summer, and they are peculiar animals. They congregate in towns during the heat to get water. They are the low est .type of humanity, perfectly harm less, lazy creatures, with no aim in life or ambition of any sort. They simply exist. They eat bugs and snakes; are filthy beyond description, , and sleep most of the time. - I forgot to tell yon that all houses in this eountry are eon strueted of corrugated iron, with dou ble walls and roof, as a protection against heats are of one story in height and painted white from roof to ground. This is a great eountry for grapes. From our back porch wire netting ex tends from floor to roof, and on this netting the vines trail. We have three vines ruining up, and they are loaded with fruit, and the grapes will be ripe about the end of November. In our garden we have geraniums, carnations, pansies, violets, nastur tiums, sweet peas, stock, sweet alys sum, marigolds, sunflowers, and good ness knows what else. All you have to do -is to plant the seeds and water the ground. Vegetation is most luxu riant and hardy when water is given freely. Our pepper trees are just bear ing their berries, and they , are now turning red. These trees are eight or more feet tall and are only eighteen months old. Doesn't that sound mar velous? Bat it is gospel. The markets here are provided with everything one could wis h much the same as at home, but the prices are a little, higher. Our flour comes mostly from Oregon, as does also the lumber zor the intde finishing of houses. And all kinds of furniture for home or office-is of United States production. Our heating , and cooking stoves come from America, and on all sides one is 'greeted with familiar ob jects, which are constant reminders of home.- .? ' 8 ' . Dee. 27, 1903. This eventful year is drawing to a close. Christmas! Well it wasn't like Christmas at alU la the first place, the day was fairly hot, 120 degrees in the shade, snd a Deautif ully bright and clear sky. We had no Christmas tree nor presents to put on one, and we had been wholly enable to get a turkey. Wo had no mistletoe, and our plum padding was 'not garnished with, holly. Yon doubtless say,; "What a horrible Christmas!" It wasn't horrible at all; it was jolly and happy. And our dinner! Well, here is the mean:. v Clear soap; crackers; . two roasted docks, - stuffed; : parsnips; " vegetable marrow; peas; brown and white bread; stuffed tomato salad; chow chow; salted almonds; plum" pudding;1" fruit cake; chocolate creams; ginger; candied cher ries; nuts and raisins; oranges;. ' ale, and apollinaris. We had after-dinner coffee on the veranda' a half hour later. It was a Joe Dandy dinner, and we had the com pany of congenial friends to "help us eat it. I have been down deep into the mine, three times now, and it is jolly good fun. The . output of gold is now over $400,000 per month. I think that 1 have spoken of the good roads here, and I wish to say again that they are uncommonly' good, and a drive over them is exhilarating. Every few yards brings a new scene be fore you; now you drive through scrub by' bush; now you come upon a huge outcrop of quartz granite 1 or slate; cow you are upon a desert waste where nothing grows. Here a vast salt lake confronts you- dry in' summer, but full of water in the winter. Now you see in the distance a range of mountains, now a forest of tall, graceful trees over you all the wnile seeing ant hills by the dozens and constantly driving over regiments of these wise, industrious lit tle fellows,! who are crossing, the road intent upon some good undertaking, I ween. Birds there are in plenty where the brush is thick and tall, and their nests are ' in evidence every ' where. Then there are numerous varieties of flowers, most of which are everlasting and of wonderful coloring. There are plenty of kangaroos about now, though I have yet to see one. Wild" turkeys are much sought for on account of their delicate flesn, but they occur farther north and east and farther from the haunts of man so I am told. Snakes may be found on hills which are cover ed with broken quartz, but sueh places I leave religiously alone. Then you may accidentally stnmble upon a native camp, though there is really no camp. They build a small fire and roast their kangaroos and snakes over it and eat the flesh from their fingers. They are dressed in filthy rags, and some of the women are tall, unwomanly and all of them are but skin and bones, and re pulsively ugly to look at. The. men treat the women cruelly, beating them at times until the flesh is laeerated. Then they (the men) quarrel among themselves ; and are wholly withmit moral stamina. There are very fel full blood natives left, and they, like the American Indians, can read their PORTLAND BUSINESS DIRECTORY SOME OF THE RELIABLE MCI AHO CON CERNS OF ORECON'S METROPOLIS. RESTAURANTS.

They are the lowest ami most; degraded of all abor igines and, although they despise each other, they: have great respect for and a wholesome fear of the white man. If a white man should do an Injury to a native the black would straight way resent such injury just as a wild ani mal of f eroeious nature would do. There being little surface water here, the natives . never bathe, so i you can imagine how sweetly they smell. They are a hard lot. . , The sky and ground colorings are wonderfully beautiful here; especially is the sky attractive when it is flecked with clouds. The other night the clouds over bead took on a blood-red hue fully three-quarters of an hour af ter sunset, shoving at what great height they must have been hanging. The sun is here three times bigger; yes, and four times, than it is with you, and the moon as well. The stars shine out brightly, and seem abnormally large, haviniz an appearance of hanging so 1a a w ama 4 A 4Vtassw wm AS1!na vsr 1 .-t 3 AS would tak von tn them.
