The Auto Is Popular
The automobile of the Oregon Su
burban Auto Company, running be
tween Salem and Independence, is do
ing a good business. 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. One running be
tween Salem snd MeMmnvilIe, for in
stance, would no doubt do a good busi
ness. The time of leaving Salem of the

to be congratulated over tne fact tnat

comfortable meeting plaee that is ab
solutely free of encumbrance and they

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. This is the first
building to have been erected by the
t'ongregationalists in the early days
nl it is treasured very highly by the
pioneer members, who desire to pre
serve it as long as possible. Rev. P. S,
Knight, who is among the first pastors
to have preached in. the original church
house, aud the oldest living Congrega
tional minister of this city, is still pas
tor of the, church at its new location.
The building has been moved upon the

cost $233.45, all of which was raised
outside of the church.

Down Where the Son and Moon Looks

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

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.

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
