John Philippi Visits Many Places
bf Interest While
There
  »
Jolm Philippi left Pie-fz
on October twenty-third for
Oakland, California, via Omaha
over the Northwestern and Union Pacitie roads. Prom Omaha
to Cheyenne, Wyoming, is one
prairie. Next we came to Ogden, Utah, where we crossed
Salt Lake, which is about 40
miles wide by 70 miles long".
This R. R. bridge is 38 miles
long and was originally built of
wood, but for the last twelve
years the R. R. Co. has been
hauling rock around this trestle
work, which is gradually transforming it into a stone dump.
There are still twelve miles to
fill which
take 5 years
600 miles was a desert atid a
plain with nothing of interest
excepting a small chain of mountains through which we passed
by a tunnel six miles long. At
the end of this desert we came
to the Sierra Nevada mountains
which are heavily timbered.
Some years ago the R. R's
found that snow became so deep
at times in these mountains that
traffic had to be abandoned for
months at a time. To obviate
this trouble snow sheds were
built under the roof of which
one rides for many miles at a
stretch in crossing this mountain range- On the summit of
this range is LakeTrusky which
is a great summer resort for the
rich of San Francisco and Sacramento. Oakdale, John's destination has about 2500 people.
He stayed a week with Fleig,
an erstwhile painter of Little
Falls. The latter says his wages are about twice as high as
thev were in Little Falls. He
baa a two acre orange grove.
Philippi has twenty three acres
ia tbe city limits of Oakland,
about half of which are planted
in Almond  trees.    These  were
Whose bright succession decks jy QTP
the varied year;
Whatever    sweets   salute   the
northern sky
With vernal lives, that blossom
but to die;
These here disporting, own the
kindred soil,
Nor  ask   luxuriance  from  the
planter's toil:
While sea-born gales their gelid
wings expand,
To winnow fragrance round the
smiling land.
There  are three well defined
classes of people in California:
the traders or business men, the
easterners,  as   all new   comers
are   called,   and   the   Natives.
The Natives look upon all new
comers   or  "easterners" as   us-
lUrpers,   arid   to   protect  themselves  against  the invasion of
them have  formed  societies to
which   none  but a good  native
is  expected   will c*n belon^'    The business men
Tbe i text P00 or of <?urse are m fa*« °* ***;
erners  coming m with pockets
; well filled with money. Many
foreigners, and especially ger-
mans, have come into California the last three or four years.

are made to pay a double debt;
they are planted both for shade
and fruit. Que remarkable
thing about them is that ripe
fruit can be found on them every
month in the year-
Olives will be ripe next
month. There is not now so
much wheat raised as in former
years and dairying seems to be
the coming industry of the farmers This is an easy task in California. Owing to the increase
of rainfall during the winter
months the grass is best and
greenest at that time. The
spiendor of the climate exacts
very little labor from the planter to produce a good yield, and
we believe that had OliverGold-
smith traveled through our
country he might have written
of this state what he wrote of
Italy in his "The Traveler":
Could   Nature's bounty  satisfy

Infantile Paralysis is
Master
Chicago, Nov. 11.—Frankly
admitting that no doctor knows
anything which will prevent or
cure infantile paralysis, or can
even diagnose it in early stages
in order that paralysis may be
prevented, Dr. H. E.Robertson,
associate professer of pathology
at the Uuiversity of Minnesota,
last night lectured the several
hundred visiting Burgeons of
North America at the meeting
of the Chicago Neurological society, describing the futile ef
forts of the medical fraternity
to find some means of heading
off what may prove to be an ever increasing epidemic.
Dr. Robertson's audience was
made up of several hundred doctors and surgeons, manv of
whom came from distant states
in order to hear the discussion
of this question, which has become practically the most vexatious problem confronting
them in their profession.
The past summer was the
third in wich the epidemic of
of infantile paralysis raged in
Minnesota, there being over900
babies treated, of which number
nearly 400 died.—Mpls.Tribune.
It was the above Dr. §Kobert-
son who came to Pierz in September and performed an autopsy of o> e of our children who
had died with infantile paralysis.
