Editor Banner:
You will porcclvo that this let
ter Is not dated anywhere and has
been delayed somowhat, as I gathered
a fow notes heforo starting from tho
Golden state and on iny way back,
fearing they might becoino stale I
thought I would give them to your
readers ns a closing chapter in my
last globe trotting tour.
Wo left Rlnlto, Cal., on tho 29th of
Dcccmbor, went to Los Angeles for a
week's vlsti beforo starting to Ohio
as wo havo a number of friends In that
city and Pasadena.
Wo went to Pasadena on tho first
day of tho new year and witnessed
tho great floral parado of the crown
city 'on .New Year's day; this is a re
gular festal day for tho Pasadenlans
and this was their 21st annual show. It
would not bo possible for me to de
scribe tiro grandeur of this pageant
and -tho tons of flowers that aro plac
ed upon every description of vehicle
from an Indian sled drawn by one
horse or pony to tho gorgeously dec
orated auto and tho air ship and ocean
yacht tho flro department wagon and
the water wagon put out by tho W. C.
T. U. with half a dozen young boys
ri li:.(; -i, the borril the -auie us our
giri. m Alt Vernon are now riding on
horseback, which I think very proper
and correct for the youngsters of our
city, and very much in tho lino of tho
teachings of the W. C. T. U., .i" Pasa
dena has been on the water wagon lo!
these many years. This Is tho second
one of theso floral parades that tho
writer and his wlfo havo witnessed
from the residence of our friend and
former townsman, Moses Sklllen, on
Colorado street, that city, and after
tho parade each time havo taken our
Now Yoar's dinner with his estimable
family.
On tho morning of the second of
January, it snowed at Rlalto and Rich
ard O. Hunt informed mo tho snow
was an inch deep at his home, some
thing unheard of In that section and I
lu'd him I could not account for it aj
I bad been away from there for sov
eml days, and when I was, in Los
Angeles we had to put up with a good
sized frost and a little Ice.
Wo left Los Angeles on tho evening
of tho Gth day at 8 o'clock via tho
Santa Fo. This is my first trip over
Litis continental lino and wo rido all
Wednesday night In tho state of Ca'l
fornia, arriving at Needles at 8:40 on
Thursday morning, at 10:30 a. in. we
cross tho Colorado river that divides
California and Arizona, beforo tho noon
hour wo run into snow and travel all
day over this arid desert looking t
snow covered sago brush. Wo arrive
at Ash Fork about dusk and hero the
snow is reported to bo one foot deop
and tho same at Williams and thld
way down in lovely Arizona, wo havo
snow on our trip all tho way across
state and when wo got Into New Mex
ico wo wako up at G o'clock a. m. and
find our car quite cool. I got out,
looked up the porter and told him ho
better turn on moro steam and ho ad
vised mo that wo wcro at that time
gottlng all tho steam that could bo
spared from tho cngino and that wo
had lost flvo hours during tho night
by trying to keop tho cars warm and
tho train running and that tho ther
mometer registered 14 below zero and
this was in Now Mexico. I called tho
portor'a attention to tho fact that all
tourist sleepers had a Baker heater
in them and if ho would start fire in
that wo would soon bo comfortable
I advised tho other occupants of tho
car to stay In their berths until tho
car got warm, which they did but
somo of them including your undo
Dudley had caught a Mexican cold and
I havo a remnant of mine yet as a
memento of tho occasion.
Tho scenery over tho Santa Fo routo
until wo strike tho Kansas line is
mostly mado up of sagcf brush, sand
cactus and bouldors, where some high
peaks havo burated up and fallen over
Itself at somo timo long since gone by.
solf at somo time long sluco gono by.
Tho population Is principally Mexican
greasers and Indlnns.
At Lagunn. Now Moxlco, wo como
to a genulno Indian vlllago mado up
of ndobo houses or ratUcr huts, (m I to
a town at this point nil made up of
Indians whoso squaws and girl chil
dren crowd around tho cars with their
wares to sell to tho tourists; most of
tho articles offered at our car wcro
pottory made of mud and clay of that
region and baked In ovens and gor
geouBly decorated with a conglamcra
Hon of .colors that would make a horse
laugh.
We arrlvo at Alberquerque, New
Moxlco, at noon on Friday, Jan. 7.
Hero it Is quite cold and about tho only
thing that took my attention off tho
cold wcathor, for tho time being, was
the slzo of tho plo at Fred Harvgy's
lunch counter. It was at least six
Inches across tho faco of It and tho
prlco forty cents. Wo did not llko pio
for lunch, especially at that lunch
counter. Mr. 'c. F. Itico nrtd myself
stepped across tho street, and tho
thoroughfaro was not exceptionally
wide, and I bought a nine-inch pie for
fii'lcGii cents and you novcr saw a pie
appotlto improvo as fast as mine did
In the next half hour. Wo had our
lunch baskets and had hot coffco or
tea rejfularly three times a day until
wo pot to KansaB City. While many
of the passengers on tho train did not
get their breakfasts until noon or lat
tr us there was no dinner on the ov
erland and train running flvo or six
hours late could not get to Fred Har
vey's plo counter. I have gone over
tho nprthorn routo with its lovely
scenery to California and back fle
times and helped to swell the Harri
man millions and gazed upon tho Nov
ada desert, that Is a garden of Eden
to tho sldo of tho Arizona and New
Mexico product along the Santa Fe.
If a man owned a million acres of this
land ho would feel like singing "not
a foot of land do I possess."
Saturday morning wo arrive at Scy
more, Knn., at C o'clock and wo arc
traveling ovdr good farms that nro rich
and fertllo and have tho goods .tacked
up to s.how tho traveler that they aro
prosperous. Wo were told beforo
leaving California that wo would en
counter all kinds of frigid weather on
our route, but at Garden City, almost
on tho western lino of Kansas we ego
tents up and they havo people living
in the same as some wo saw in Cali
fornia where tho sunshine did not keep
tho frost and tho freezing off the pump
kin vine or tho orange and tho flg
treo.
Our travel over tho states of Kan
sas and Missouri was pleasant and wo
did not find very much cold weather
until after wo left St. Louis on Sun
day evening, July 9. Wo arrive at
Columbus over tho Pennsylvania rail
road Monday morning at 8:40, only ten
minutes late in 455 miles run during
tho night. We arrived at Mt. Vernon
Monday afternoon, weather below ze
ro, but meeting many of our old
friends who gave us a hearty wel
come back to tho old town. Wo havo
not had time to think of winter and
really have been enjoying every min
ute slnco. Wo will bo located at borne,
112 East Pleasant street in tho next
week and I will soon bo doing business
at tho old stand, No. 36, Public square.
Como and see mo at cither place, I
have the same old smile.
Very truly,
LEROY G. HUNT.

From Use Of Meat Is The
Suggestion
As
Good Thing To Bring
Down Ihe Prices
Columbus, O., Jan. 18. "Let the
pcoplb of Ohio start at onco to ab
stain from eating meat and not watt
for the beginning of Lent."
This is tho advise of Senator Dan
iel Webster Williams, Chairman of
tho Joint Committee of tho Goiieial
Assembly appointed to Inquire Into
tho cost of living in tho state of Ohio.
H is notfrom religious motives
that this ndvlso Cows, but rathei
from economical ones. Tho defense
of the packers and doalers is tnat
tho high prlco of meat Is duo to tho
fact that tho demand has exceeded
the supply.
Their explanations for' tho lack ot
proper Incroaso in the supply arc as
Humorous almost as the sanas on
tho seashore and as various as tho
flowers of the fields.
"If this is true, then tho absten
tion from meat for tho next 70 days
will permit tho packers to accumu
late a surplus," said tho senator from
Jackson county. "It will causo Also
a substantial reduction in tho prlco
of that commodity and of others as
well."
The chairman of the committee Is
sincerely in earnest in this appeal
and thoroughly believes that tho
remedy is ono that will bo completely
effective.
