ET STORE DAVIS, Props TREEMAN hoeing and Blacksmithing so the famous les and Newton Wagons FOR SALE PEN PICTURE OF PACIFIC AND PHILIPPINES Willford Nichols Writes to Friends at Berkeley of His Voyage Across the Ocean—Honolulu, the China Sea and Luzon Wilford Nichols, the "Yankee schoolmaster in the Philippines," has written to Christian Endeavor friends in Berkeley an account of his trip across the ocean to Uncle Sam's new possessions in the Far East. A copy has been furnished us, from which we quote as follows: For some time I have had in mind to write a letter to you all, so find myself beginning that pleasant task. Now, as often in previous writings, I fully realize my inability to describe what I have seen since leaving the home land in a manner such that it would give you a very vivid idea of what it all has been like. So many strange scenes and strange things have unveiled themselves as we have moved along. Our thirty-days' journey across the vast expanse of the Pacific was a never-to-be-forgotten one. The ocean gale, the mountainous, foam-tossed waves, the rising, falling, pitching, rolling vessel, and ever new scenes resulting therefrom, are yet floating in the field of my vision with a vividness that bids fair long to remain. Please do not get the idea, however, that I was one of the many poor unfortunate sea-sick individuals, for such was not the case. Day after day we moved steadily forward surrounded by one vast horizon-bound expanse of watery waste. Yet I never grew weary of watching the great waves as they would rise and fall upon the streets and in the shops. They make up a very large percentage of the industrial class, and many are found doing drudgery work along the water front and upon the streets. The peculiar two-wheeled truck cart, drawn by the slow-moving, big-horned caribao, or water buffalo, is the only means of transporting freight in the city outside of the army. We teachers were fortunate enough to obtain army mule teams to haul our baggage to our hotels, free of charge. Not the least noticeable feature of the city's make-up are the large number of massive old Catholic churches. An almost unimaginable amount of time, labor and money must have been expended upon them. They are built of stone and marble, and often are richly furnished. I am told much of the finer material in their make-up came from Spain. The Pasig river divides the city into two parts. The walled city, or Manila proper, stands upon the left bank. It is surrounded by a stone wall perhaps 25 feet high and 15 feet thick. Surrounding the wall is a mote, now grown up with marsh weeds and grass. In its day this enclosure furnished a strong protection against the Southern Moros and Chinese pirates, but it would not stand long against the battering rams of modern warfare. The buildings inside the wall are of stone, with windows heavily grated by iron bars—no window glasses. It is in the "Palace" here that the government and educational departments are located. Five days after our landing cholera broke out in the city, and for one month we remained within its limits, under strict quarantine. A young teacher (a man, not a woman), with whom I became acquainted on the voyage over, and I were both assigned rain about it. It simply upsets somewhere in the clouds, and all come down at once. These rains are frequently accompanied by heavy thunder and vivid flashes of lightning. I have never heard of the lightning striking though. Now, just a word regarding the real work for which we have come 7,500 miles perform. I have been assigned an American teacher in the pueblo Allmodian, inland from Iloilo about fifteen miles. The town has a midimum population of 5000. It is beautifully situated on the banks of a stream of water, and has high green hills for a background. It nestles among coconut, banana and mango groves, and surrounds by fields of rice and corn with here and there a sugar plantation. The country through here, as most all parts of the islands, however has received very grave backsets during the past few years of devastation wars. It will doubtless be a long time before the effects of these wars evertire disappear. Many of the farmers' water buffalo were killed during the late war or died of a disease called "rinderpeast," and this fact very materially adds to the backwardness farming. I do not know just how many pups I shall have; perhaps between 250 and 300. Will have two native assistants—one a lady, the other a man. I will be the only white man in the town My nearest neighbor will be another American teacher, six miles distant. I have learned quite a little Spanish and as a number of my townsmen speak Spanish, that will be to language I shall speak outside of the schoolroom. In the school room, however, the law requires English to be used. The nearer I proach the day when my work is begun more fully do I realize vast expanse of the Pacific was a never-to-be-forgotten one. The ocean gale, the mountainous, foam-tossed waves, the rising, falling, pitching, rolling vessel, and ever new scenes resulting therefrom, are yet floating in the field of my vision with a vividness that bids fair long to remain. Please do not get the idea, however, that I was one of the many poor unfortunate sea-sick individuals, for such was not the case. Day after day we moved steadily forward surrounded by one vast horizon-bound expanse of watery waste. Yet I never grew weary of watching the great waves as they would rise and fall all about us. There is something in them that reveals to one the grandeur and greatness of God. The ocean is not always thus tempest-tossed. The beginning of our voyage happened to be; but often the entire trip is made on a sea almost as calm as is the San Francisco bay. We were three days late in making the run to Honolulu, owing to the storm encountered; consequently, we eagerly watched for the first glimpse of land, which we gained about 3 o'clock on the afternoon of February 17th. Not until the following morning though were we tied up at the wharf in Honolulu and permitted to go ashore. This mid-ocean city is, without question, a beautiful one. It is situated not unlike Berkeley, on sloping ground overlooking the sea, and with a ridge of high hills for a background. Its population is slightly in advance of 30,000. Its chief beauty lies in its being adorned with tropical vegetation—fan-palms, date-palms, cocoanut, banana, mango, and many other tropical trees. It also contains a number of fine business blocks. By the close of the second day in Honolulu we were all well rested, and ready for the beginning of the remainder of the voyage—a 20-days' run. Back on the morning of the 20th we headed for the open sea once more, and soon the Hawaiian islands were fading away in the distance. Four days out we crossed the International Date Line; consequently had no day dated February 25th. On March 4th we passed within two and one-half miles of the Island de Farallon de Pajares, a single peak, 1200 feet high, and an active volcano. It is the northernmost island of the Ladrone group. Great clouds of smoke were rolling from its crater as we passed. No other event of special note occurred until, with eager eyes, we looked for the first time upon the low-lying coast line of the Island of Luzon, early on the morning of March 9th, and realized that our voyage across the largest body of water on earth was rapidly nearing completion. All day of the 9th we ploughed our way through the glassy expanse of the China Sea, in plain view of Luzon, and also on the 10th, until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sailors pointed out to us a lighthouse on the Island of Corigedor, in the entrance to Manila Bay, and which at night was plainly visible from the city of Manila. In another hour we came to anchor far up in the bay among many other vessels, and the long, long voyage was at an end, Southern Moros and Chinese pirates, but it would not stand long against the battering raams of modern warfare. The buildings inside the wall are of stone, with windows heavily grated by iron bars—no window-glasses. It is in "Palace" here that the government and educational departments are located. Five days after our landing cholera broke out in the city, and for one month we remained within its limits, under strict quarantine. A young teacher (a man, not a woman), with whom I became acquainted on the voyage over, and I were both assigned to teach on the Island of Panay. This was at our own request. After weeks of waiting, we finally secured passage on a Spanish vessel en route for our station. We had to remain five days in quarantine in Manila Bay before leaving, to see if there was any cholera on board. The weather was ideal, and the time passed by quickly. About 4 o'clock on the evening of April 12th we were steaming our way toward the city of Hoilo, capital of the Island of Panay, distant from Manila some 320 miles. The sea was very calm most of the way, and the scenery was beautiful. On the first night out I neglected closing the porthole to my stateroom, and while peacefully sleeping and dreaming of scenes in the home land a large corner of a wave dashed through that aperture, and deposited itself squarely on my face. In far less time than it takes to tell it, I was on my feet, and proceeded to turn my bed upside down in search of a dry spot, which I succeeded not in finding; then lay down again, and was soon gathering up the broken threads of the interrupted dream. We were 48 hours on the water this trip, not quite so lengthy as the previous one. Hoilo is a city of about 20,000 inhabitants. A large part of it was burned during the insurrection by the natives; consequently there are many shells or buildings scattered throughout the city. Its streets are mostly well-paved and clean. A Plaza covered with trees forms its center, and in the center of this a band stand, where the native brass band, an adjunct of the city, renders good music for an hour every night. Many natives, as well as white people, gather around on the park settees to hear the music and to drink in the balmy evening air. The tunes are often American, such as "America," "The Star-Spangled Banner," "A Hot Time in the Old Town." The last named, so I am told, is often played at funerals. There is considerable building going now in the city; thus indicating that prosperous times are slowly returning. I have met a number of persons here with whom I was directly or indirectly acquainted in California, especially from the U.C. Mr. Brink, my division superintendent, is a Berkeley man. Last week I attended the wedding of an old normal classmate. On landing in Hoilo I met a Mr. Bond, formerly of the U.C., who was looking for his future bride, a Miss Caldwell, and she was also an old classmate at normal. One of the finest organizations on the islands, and in the world for that maturing health. I do not know just how many pupils I shall have; perhaps between 250 and 300.

West, Bell & Tipton-- orneys & Counselors-at-law HELMSEN BLOCK Inter St. - ANAHEIM, Cal early on the morning of March 9th, and realized that our voyage across the largest body of water on earth was rapily nearing completion. All day of the 9th we ploughed our way through the glassy expanse of the China Sea, in plain view of Luzon, and also on the 10th, until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sailors pointed out to us a lighthouse on the Island of Corrigedor, in the entrance to Manila Bay, and which at night was plainly visible from the city of Manila. In another hour we came to anchor far up in the bay among many other vessels, and the long, long voyage was at an end. One thing of interest that our attention was called to as we passed up the bay was the scene of the great battle fought between Dewey and the Spanards and the low-lying hulls of several Spanish vessels driven ashore in that memorable conflict. The customs officer soon came aboard our vessel, and imagine my surprise when I saw with him as clerk a former pupil of mine in the public school where I taught in Southern California. We teachers, 21 in number, were met on the vessel by a committee from the educational department, who gave us the necessary instructions as to where to go to find lodgings in the city and how to care for our baggage. We did not go ashore until 9 o'clock the following morning. Then it was that we looked for the first time upon the strange, and in many respects, wonderful city of Manila. I will take time to mention but a few of the things that impressed me most upon my first landing in the "Pearl of the Orient"—things that make Manila differ from her sister cities in the States. First and foremost is her people. The narrow stone-paved streets and sidewalks are crowded constantly with loosely-dressed, black-haired, bare-footed native men, women and children, the last named with an unnatural look if their faces are clean. They are below the average height of Americans, and are generally of slight build, but very muscular. Their skin is all the way from a light to a dark brown color. The women and children are great cigar-smokers. The men indulge in cigarettes. To the average American, so accustomed to looking upon American beauty, the native women generally are far from pretty. We also see many Chinese I have met a number of persons here with whom I was directly or indirectly acquainted in California, especially from the U.C. Mr. Brink, my division superintendent, is a Berkeley man. Last week I attended the wedding of an old normal classmate. On landing in Ilolo I met a Mr. Bond, formerly of the U.C., who was looking for his future bride, a Miss Caldwell, and she was also an old classmate at normal. One of the finest organizations on the islands, and in the world for that matter, and one that does the most good, doubtless, is the Army Y.M.C.A. All men, whether soldiers or civilians, members or non-members, are always welcomed to their rooms. Writing materials, hundreds of books and cores of States papers and magazines are at the disposal of all who wish to come and use them. I have spent many a pleasant hour in the Manila and Ilolo rooms, reading writing, or playing games, such as chess and checkers, to while away the lagging hours. You are perhaps puzzled to know why I have so much time for such things, and am not teaching. It is to be explained by the fact that we were fortunate enough to arrive in the islands two weeks prior to the beginning of a three-months' vacation. Quarantine held us in Manila until vacation began. So, including the month spent in the voyage across, it will be four months since starting before we do any teaching. In some respects this state of affairs has been quite acceptable. It has enabled us to fully recuperate from the effects of the voyage, and has also given us a good opportunity to become somewhat acclimated and to study and plan for the work when it really begins. Although this is the hot season here, we do not suffer at all from oppressive heat. The only inconvenience is the freeness with which one perspires. Often while sitting reading, or doing nothing, perspiration will stand out on our bodies and limbs in great drops. This, of course, necessitates a liberal supply of changes of clothing and frequent baths. During the past two weeks we have had frequent hard, but short, rains. One peculiarity here is that it rains without half trying, and when it rains it rains; there is no play And now, dear Endeavorer, this time doubtless I have said enEvery night when I open the best bible you gave me, I think of you well as many times during the day, ask your prayers for my success.

Said F. H. Newell, chief of the hydrography division: "People who go into that form of speculation are likely to be disappointed. The government will have the right to condemn all claims of that kind, and will pay only what they are worth. The only rights will be those which have been previously obtained, for we have thrown lines about the various possible sites; and no new claimants can get in. They have been withdrawn temporarily. But it is a mistake to imagine that every site which has been withdrawn is to have improvements made upon it. The selection is not made yet, and will not be until the secretary of the interior has said the final word. If it is found that any site is too much encumbered with claims of speculators it will be discarded, and it is possible that the initial project will not be on any of the sites which have been set apart for examination. We shall do just what a railroad company would do in pushing a new route. We may survey and make estimates on half a dozen routes, and then reject them all." Vagrant With Dough A vagrant wandered into Santa Ana a few days ago, claiming to have come from San Bernardino. He was arrested on a charge of indecent exposure.

When searched at the county jail an old meal-sack was found in one of his pockets bulging out with bright new $20 gold pieces and a few small pieces of silver. It contained a total of $1076.95. The vagrant knew to a cent the amount of money the greasy sack contained. He was seen wandering aimlessly about for several hours. He partly disrobed and started to take a bath in an irrigating ditch, when the residents of the neighborhood telephoned the city marshal. It is believed by the officers that his mind is unbalanced. He is over 60 years of age, and claims that he carries the money with him to supply his needs as he travels about the country. When arraigned, he pleaded not guilty to the charge of indecent exposure. He was found guilty and fined $10. He gave the name of Joseph Hiliaa. Deed of Trust A deed of trust was filed with the county recorder by the Edison Electric company of Evanston, Wyo., and Los Angeles, assigning all the company's property and apparatus in the Southern California counties in trust to the Los Angeles Trust company and the United States Mortgage and Trust company of New York to secure the issue of $10,000,000 of 5 per cent bonds. The bonds are 10,000 in number of $1000 each, and mature in twenty years. The money raised by the issue will be used in carrying on and enlarging the present electric power and lighting business of the Edison company of Southern California and contemplates a large number of improvements in the system. The fees on receipt in every county where are at present carrying on business, were $55 in this county. Deafness Cannot Be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remission, and that is caused by an induced condition of the mucosa. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless inflammation (can be taken out) and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases of deafness out of ten are caused by catarh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. Gurney et Co., Toledo, O. Sold by drugs sta. 75 cents. Hall's Family Pills are the best. Don't forget the old man with the fish on his back. For nearly thirty years he has been traveling around the world, and is still traveling, bringing health and comfort wherever he goes. To the consumptive he brings the strength and flesh he so much needs. To all weak and sickly children he gives rich and strengthening food. To thin and pale persons he gives new firm flesh and rich red blood. Children who first saw the old man with the fish are now grown up and have children of their own. He stands for Scott's Emulsion of pure cod liver oil—a delightful food and a natural tonic for children, for old folks and for all who need flesh and strength.
