A Letter From the Flowery Southland.
The mauy Hood River people, to
whom Mrs. M. A. Cook is well and fav
orably known, will be pleased to rend
the following letter written by her in
Southern California.
The weather at Long Peach is uncer
tain from February to the first of June;
surf bathing is rather chilly, and over
coats are comfortable. The idea of a
peretual summer here is untrue,
although rarely a day passes wthout
someone battling with the breakers.
This season has been a record-breaker
for cool weather and frequent rains, but
when compared with other states it is
an Eden on earth.
There are a number of desirable local
ities in the vicinity of Los Angelee, but
Long Beach affords many advantages.
It is only six miles from Han Pedro, the
future largest harbor on this coast; has
the second largest bath house, built
at a cost of t'JO.OOO; is three miles from
Signal Hill, where everything native to
a emi-1ropical climate is grown; two
steam railroads and a double traek
electric line connect with Los Angeles,
thus anording tlie community the ad
vantages ol city lite; there are no
Raloons or club houses; the city affords
the beet graded schools; there is a
pleasure pier with a two-story pavilion,
where bands render sweet music every
afternoon and evening of the year, and
wnere on luesday, Thursday and Sat
urday nights large crowds gather to en
joy the pleasure of dancing. Hundreds
of distinguished people visit the lovely
puuiijianu every year, coniuining uusi
ness with pleasure.
The month of May was an eventful
one for Long Beach. On the 29th, part
of the Pacific squadron, with live of
Uncle Sam's war ships, anchored three
miles ott Long iieach and San 1'euro,
headed by the flagship New York, with
Hear Admiral Ulass in command.
Visitors were allowed to inspect the
shins during their six days on shore,
and it is estimated that 10,000 people
went aboard. Alternately the ships en
gaged in target practice. A large canvas
target was anchored hve or six miles
eut at sea. One could enjoy the scene
from shore without the aid of a glass.
As the ships steamed back and forth, a
loud rumbling report was heard at inter
vals. First a cloud of smoke was visible,
Then by watching closely one could dis
cern the course of the projectile by the
large columns of water rising and show
ering in the manner of a fountain, about
every mile or so, where for an instant
the lead plowed the briny blue, some
thing like a stone skipped along the sur
face of a pond. The leaden missile
would nearly reach its final dip before
the report was heard rolling over the
waves at a tardy pace.
May day will long be remembered
Twelve hundred marines came ashore
for their usual morning drill on the ball
campus, after which they joined in the
parade, headed by the Long Beach
band. While marching down Pine ave
nue on their return to the ships, the
men presented a fine appearance in
white uniforms, brown leggings, shoul
dered bayonets and canteens. The
officers wore blue coats and white
trousers, their unsheathed swords flash
ing in the morning light.
The marine band in uniform attracted
much attention, also the Red Cross
which brought up the rear. While
passing a prominent office, the com
rnand to halt was given, and right
about face. From the crowded curbing
iroceded the young women of Long
Jeach high school, laden with beautiful
flowers. Passing along the line thev
gracefully presented each soldier with a
button hole spray of blossoms, which
vied in sweetness with the fair donors.
The band boys received boquets,and the
signal corps was requested to step tore-
ward and receive in charge a beautiful
basket of roses presented to the admiral
I venture to sav the Rnarklin? eves anil
blushing cheeks of the maidens were
carried in memory long after the tlowers
had withered.
I met Mrs. Davis, the wife of a prom
inent physician in the community,
and whose acquaintance I had the
pleasure of making several years ago.
Together we paid a visit to the battle
ship New York. A member of the
marine corps kindly escorted us over the
great ship. Our first impression was
of solidity and power. As we progressed
cleanliness and order were particularly
noticeable. A little world of its own
seemed the great ship with its telephone
system, printing oltice, hospital, speak
ing tubes, signal service, accommoda
tioiiB for hundreds of men. We stood
. just below the bridge where the brave
and noble Admiral Sampson watched
that victorious defeat.
F'rom May 6 to 9 was La Fiesta, an
old-time Spanish fete, held every year
at Los Angeles. On the 7th we went to
see the grand horse parade and matinee,
Some of the spans are valued at from
12,000 to f 15,000. In the evening there
was an electrical display. Words can
not express the grandeur and brilliancy
of the lloals.
The 8th was President's day, and the
city was beautifully decorated for the
occasion. I here were (lowers every
where, and everything seemed a mass of
color and perfume. We had the good
lortune to secure a position within a few
feet of the platform from which Presi
dent Roosevelt addressed 200,000 people.
It seemed we were listening to a friend
w ho understood our hearts and needs,
rather than a stranger. Brave, true,
corageous a soldier and hero, who has
won love and respect regardless of polit
ical strife.
One of the pleasing features of Mem
orial day was the sight of 500 school
children attended by their teachers
marching to the end of the pier, where
they showered the waves with flowers
until the surface was literally covered
for a great distance. The ceremony is
in memory of the brave soldiers who
sleep in watery graves. The blossoms
came in with the tide, presenting a
novel scene, tossing and whirling with
the foaming spray.
I am delighted with this place. It is
an earthly paradise, with a few excep
tionsfleas for instance. They are the
boldest atoms of breath I ever had to
deal with, and are no respecter of per
sons or places. The streets are
sprinkled with oil, so the dust problem
is easily solved. An occasional Santa
Anna wind sweeps dowu upon us, mak
ing it earthy enough for a heaven. But
w hile you are sweltering and longing for
a cool breath, we are enjoying the pure
breer.e from the ocean.
Hood River May Have a Rival.
Orrgonlnn.
There are prospects of Hood River
Valley having a rival as a strawberry
producing section. Eagle Cliff in Wah
kiakum county, Washington, on the
Columbia, some K5 miles below the
mouth of the Willamette, is the section
named for this honor. The land is some
800 feet above the sea level, and appear?
to be particularly adapted to produc
ing late strawberries. L. S. Davidson
of lsagle Cliff was in the city, yesterday,
and brought along for exhibit some very
fine specimens of the Wilson strawberry
.and Triomphe du Oard, which in size,
flavoring, coloring and plump form
condition proved a striking contrast to
the few berries now being brought into
the market and the tail end of crops of
various berry gardens in this vicinity.
Mr. Davids m says the berries on bis
place are now just coming into prime
condition for marketing, and he is m
the opinion that if fields were planted
on Eagle Cliff the crop would bring a
good price as being later than all other
strawberries iu this region. Early ber
ries, except the very earliest, have to
compete with the crops of many sections.
The very earMeet Oregon berries have
to compete with California berries, and
only have the advantage of excellence
over them. The late berries from Eagle
Cliff would be the only strawberries in
the market at this season, and it is
probable that there would be a large oe
mand for them at a good price.
Underwood Brevities.

how to put a lens in a frame, he starts
out as an oculist, whether he knows
anything about helping your eyes or
not. He will fit you with a pair of

not ease your eyes you may not notice
for a month. or two. At the Glenwood

charged a poor lady $4 for a pair of steel
frames and lenses t hat I sell for90 cents.
She said, "We can't sell them so cheap:
we have a big expense, car fare and

more." And she sold a young man a
