San Diego, Cal., June 2, 1892.
Dear Gazettker:
I believe mv last letter, sent from
ban Francisco, closed with a brief
desciiption of Salt River valley,
Arizona. On our way back ;lrom
Phoenix to Marcopa station, cn the
Soujherc Pacific, we were agreeably
surprised to find on the train Mr.
Reinhart, of Denison, traveling
salesman for an eastern grocery
* '• house. He makes four trips a year
to Arizona and California. He ac-
companied us as far as Los Angeles,
k Cal. There are dnly three or four
, ' houses in Maricopa, and the only
place to get a night's lodging is at
• the Maricopa House, kept by Mr.
and Mrs. J. V. Edwards,- who, by
^ the^ way, are Texan®, and always
have a kind word to say for the Lone
Star state. We stayed with them
one night; had a comfortable room
e and a good breakfast. We noticed
that several Arizonians preferred to
rent cots at a lunch stand across the
street and sleep outdoors to paying
for a room. There is no dew, and'
■ as the nights are pretty warm, to
sleep in the open air is no doubt a
real comfort.
We left Maricopa at 6:35 for the
west. As the sleeper was crowded
we thought we would have a rither
'' ^ rough experience before we got to
^ Los Angeles, especially crossing the
*" great Yuma desert, but after cross-
ing the Colorado we discovered that
the sleeper was labout the most un-
comtortable place on the train.
Little is to be seen from Maricopa
to Gila City but desert plains, cov-
ered with sage brush, grease-wood
and different species of cactus, with
high ranges of mountains in the* dis-
tance. Not a cloud flecked the sky,
and the sun shown with torrid heat.
. At Gila City, or rather Gila Bend,
water is pumped through large iron
pipes up into the neighboring moun-
tains, where placer gold mining, is
still conducted with profit. The
town consists principally of a few
Mexicaip adobe houses and jacals
scattered over the sand hills. The
scenery between Gila Bend and
Yuma is about/the same as between
Maricopa and Jhe Gila, only as we
advanced westward (tbe air became
hotter, as if tb prepare us for the
stifling heat o|f the four-hours' trip
through the desert. At Yuma we
got dinner. This is quite a good-
sized town for this section, with a
number of fine residences. As this
section is irrigated from tlpe Colorado
or Gila river, the soil is cultivated to
a limited extent. The green foliage
and flowers were a great relief after
the halt-day's journey through sandy
plains, parched by a tropical sun.
Yuma has the reputation of being
the hottest place on the continent.
It is an old town, however, and was
a profninent place on the map when
the overland stage line between ban
^^-fcJiego and Leavenworth, Kas., was
the only means of public convey-
ance. We saw a steamer, a stern-
wheeler, on the Colorado river.
Here is located the Arizona peni-
tentiary, which is in plain,view from
thi car windows. We could not
help but think that a man incarcer-
ated in its walls was as near theCal-
vinistic hell as he could well get in
this world. .On the California side,
on an eminence overlooking the
river, is old Port Yuma, where a
gatrison is sfill maintained. The
river is crossed by the railroad on a
long bridge. A number of Yuma
Indians were seen sauntering around
the depot platform. As soon as we
crossed the river we entered the
great Yuma desert, such a terror to
travelers before the advent of the
railtoad, and in whose sands the
bones of many an adventurous pio-
neer lie buried. For a few miles is
seen a skanty growth of sage brush
and grease-wood, but far to the left
there is a boundless sea of sand. I
neglected to mention that when we
got on the train at Maricopa we
found Alexander Wynne and wife,
of the Beaumont Enterprise, in the
sleeper, and also Judge N. A. Cra-
vens,-of the Willis. Index. Before
we got half-ivj
Mr. and Mrs. \V ynfie came into our
car aud rode th
ynhe came
e tenvainde
tance, is a range of low mountains,
but on the left nothing but sand,
blown into high ridges in some
places, as far as the eye can reach.
As we neared the western rim we
had -a view of the famous Saltone
lake, which was formed two years
ago by a crevasse in the banks of the
Colorado riyer during high water.
It is several miles distant from the
railroad now, but could be seen for
half an hour or more. At one place
it approached pretty close to the
track a year ago, but since then the
waters have been gradually reced-
ing. It is said to be again filling up,
and it is believed it will ultimately
become the main outlet of the river.
The sand absorbs so much of the
water and the evaporation is so
great that the railroad company do
not anticipate any serious damage to
their roadbed on account of this re-
markable inland sea. As early as
1849 Fremont suggested the advisa-
bility of turning the waters of the
Colorado into this basin to produce
climatic changes in Arizona. The
government subsequently made sur-
veys in accordance with this sugges-
tion, but decided that it was not
feasible. Nature has, however, par-
tially accomplished the work, and
the result may yet be confirmatory,
at least in part, of Fremont's dream.
At one point near the south side
of the desert are large salt works,
where the pure salt is shoveled up
by the carload and shipped to the
Pacific coast and elsewhere. We
obtained beautiful samples of salt
crystals. The salt is v£ry pure and
the supply is'practically inexhausti-
ble.
As the trai n left the desert, high
mountains came into view on either
hand, capped with perpetual snow.
It was a wonderful contrast, and the
white crests were hailed by the dust-
covered and half-suffocated travelers
with delight. The air grows cooler,
vegetation again greets the eye, and
soon the train rolls into Indio, where
we got a good supper. This is a
real oasis. The dwellings are sur-
rounded by trees and shrubbery, and
here and there are seen ^immense
palms. Vegetable gardens ar*;
plentiful, and in the distance may be
seen green fields.. All this section
is irrigated.
As we left Indio the grade rises.
To the left, at the base of a moun-
tain, a "long torn" for washing out
gold was seen, the water being ob-
tained from a beautiful stream which
could be seen for some distance
from the car windows, rippling
along its gravely bed. For miles
the road runs through a narrow, rich
-yalley, nearly all under cultivation.
On either hand are broad fields of
wheat and rye, and ever and anon
are to be seen immense orchards of
oranges, figs and other fruits. At
the stations through this valley boys
boarded the train with baskets of
luscious oranges, which they sold at
first eight tor a dime, but after the
customers were pretty well supplied
the price fell to twelve for a dime.
Soon the shades of night shut out-
the pleasant scene Of field and
orchard. At 10 o'clock we arrived
qt Los /vngeles, where we had de-
cided to remain over until two
o'clock the next day to rest and get
a look at the town. Mr. and ^Irs.
Wynn, however, decided to hurry
on to San Francisco. We obtained
a pleasant room at the Arcade, and
•after a refrieshing bath enjoyed a
good night's sleep. The next day-
was Sunday. The Arcade is some
distance from the business part of
the city, which is reached by electric
cars. Los Angeles is a large and
beautiful city. The electric and
cable cars take you everywhere and
even into the suburbs. In the resi-
dent portion of the town are seen a
world of flowers and shrubbery,
orange, lemon and fig trees, and
many varieties of foliage and fruit
trees that I did not know the names
of. It will l>e recollected that Cali-
fornia has no Sunday law, and yet I
ean truthfully say Los Angeles is
the quietest city on Sunday I ever
visited. The only disturbing noise
was that made by a company of the
Salvation Army which were parad-
r of the j ing the streets with tambourines and
distance. They said the sleeper was!
an oven. The porter insisted that I
the wijndows should be kept closed
because some of the occupants want-
ed to keep out ,the dust and sand, but
more likely to save work for him-
self, and when the mercury went out
of sight in the top of the' tube our
Texas friends hustled out They re-
ported the mercury at 120 degrees
the last seen of it. The Yuma des-
ert Is hot—there is no denying that,
but the heat was not as oppressive
as we had been led to expect, from
the g'owing accounts we had read of
trips across it. This is probably due
to the exceedingly dry atmosphere.
Some idea of the temperature may
be formed when 1 tell you that the
iron and brasswork about the cars
N was hot to the touch ; the stove felt
) *s though there was a tire in it, and ! Gnase died about four months ago
your hand would soon be blistered j dropsy. He had been an invalid

drums, shouting, singing and stirring
up the dust. On our next visit we
saw three or four of these Salvation
bands parading the streets, and .ex-
horting on the street corners. An
evangelist named Mills, has been
holding daily meetings in Los
Angeles, and has got jthe people half
craey on religion. /One weekday
last week the business houses closed,
to give the employes a chance to
"get religion" by the Mills method.
Recollecting that an-old Denisonian
lived here not long ago, John G.
Gnase, I hunted up hfs address in
the director^, and we (went out to
west side to see him. He had been
engaged in the bakery business, but
when we got to the pi ice found the
bakery was in charg< of another
party, who informed us that Mr.
done the orchards the past year by
frost, something unusual, however.
\\ ■ left at 2 o'clock Sunday after-
noon for San Francisco., where we
arrived Monday noon. Soon after,
leaving Los Angeles the train enter-
ed the mountains, and in climbing
the heavy grade it ;'runs to every
point of the compass. In the moun-
tains there is little land susceptible
of cultivation. Occasionally \^e
passed through desert plains, swept
by hot winds. At one place tjie
dwarfed trees were all one-sidefd,.
the fierce winds loaded with sand
havihg prevented growth on that-
side. Monday forenoon we passed
through a level country, under culti-
vation. Occasionally an orchard
was passed, but most of the land is
devoted to the growth of wheat, rye
and wild oats. The latter makes
excellent hay, as does also rye,
which is baled and shipped, some of
it going to South America. This is
the largest rye producing state in
the union. We passed through the
suburbs of Oakland, but did not
have an opportunity of visiting the
city. The bay is crossed by what is
said to be the largest ferry boat in
the world. The trains, hovyever,
remain on this side. Arriving at
San Francisco we went direct to the
Occidental, the headquarters,of the
Editorial Association, but we were
too late to get rooms; we, however,
got excellent quarters at the Lick
House diagonally across the street.
The Occidental is one of the oldest
hotels in the city, and the editors
who stopped there are loud in praise
of the liberal and hospitable manage-
ment. The Lick House is also an
old hotel, built by, the famous mil-
lionaire and freethinker James Lick,
whose munificense gave the country
the great Lick observatory and the
largest telescope in the world, San
Francisco free baths, and several
educational and charitable enter-
prises. We found Mr. and Mrs.
Wynn registered at the Occidental.
Fred P.obinson, secretary of the
Texas Press Association, and wife,
Judge A, B. Norton, of Dallas, and
some others from Texas, arrived
about 9 o'clock and stopped at the
American Exchange. President
Copeland and A. C. Valdez arrive^!
the next day, and also went to the
Exchange. Mrs. Fouts, of San
Antonio, put up at the Grand and
one or two others. The fact is the
Texas delegation was badly scatter-
ed, caused by their straggling along
on different trains. Kolp and wife
were the only Texans who joined
the excursion train at St. Louife and
remained with the party during the
ten days tour through Southern
California. The others, seventeen
in number, counting the /ladies,
came through direct via El I^aso and
the Southern Pacific. Tofmorrow
morning The San Francisco! Ex
aminer has tendered the visitors an
excursion on the bay, which has
necessitated the postponeement of
the meeting of the association, which
is to take place at Metropolitan hall
Tuesday night. The excursion
train of some nineteen cars did not
arrive until late in the evening. A
majority of the delegates, especially
the officers, stopped at the Occident-
al, where they had engaged rooms
in advance, and the others scattered
over the city, at The Grand, Palace,
Lick, etc. A few of the more zeal-
ous struck out Monday night to see
the sights, especially Chinatown by
gaslight, but most of them were too
tired, or bad too little curiosity, and
so retired early to get a good night's
rest preparatory to the next day's
excursion on the steamer.

enough for our next issue, so I will

In an educational pense, our near-
est neighbor to the south, Sherman,
is in the swim, so to speak, and last
week the city was the vortex around
which institutions, presidents, facul-
ties, graduates and pupils of high
and low degree revolved with admir-
ing splendor. The public schools
came first, and in Sherman, like it
is in Denison, a gresjt pride and in-
terest has developejd in the free

drew out an unusually large crowd.
Austin College came next, and
so distinguished a man as Henry
W. Lightfoot, of Paris, delivered at
the Sherman opera house, the
baccalameate address. The Deni-
son Philharmonic musical society
were in attendance, and the closing
ot the session . of 1891-92 was
"acceptionally bright," so says the
Sherman Register. The commence-
ment season with Mrs. Kidd's North
Texas Female College was highly
gratifying to all concerned. Bishop
Key, ot the Southern Methodist
church, was the greatest shining
light of the occasion. On Friday
evening the Sherman Institute open-
ed its closing programme with the
annual concert at the opera house,and
the final closing was on Wednesday
evening of this week. Among the
graduates were ladies from Dallas,
Farmersville, Whitewright, St. Joe,
Quanah, Bonham, Van Alstyne,
Piano, Stewart's Mills and New-
port. Miss Inez Folsom, of Sher-
man. was salutatorian and Miss Bts-
sie Bradley valedictorian.

her educational institution^.

durii.g the past week, and now the'
agony is over and President Harri-

th^e office of chief executive of the
United States. Th4 <■ pposition to
the administration 7 overshadowed
every othef issue; and the party plat-
form was a mere bagatelle, a sound-
ing .brass and a tinkling cymbal.
The opposition was not organized
early in the campaign, and on the
assembling pf the convention it was
handicapped with an immature
growth. The leaders were drilled,
but the raw recruits could neithcr-be
coaxed or driven into coallition with
a party fight against their head/and
master. Harrison was nominated
Friday evening on the first ballot,
and a glance down the line of states
that made his nomination sure is
enough tp make the heart of a loyal
republican sick. Harrison may be
elected. Time may heal the ugly
wounds, but a sulking leader, an
apathy in an obscure county, may
retire grandfather's hat to the shades
of its Hodsier home. Many people j
are ready to charge ingratitude and j
treachery to James G. Blaine, but
all such insinuations are premature.

Waco News.
The suppressed and concentrated
wrath of John M. Duncan has at
last been poured out upon the right-
eous head of Judge Clark and all
those who are following him as a
leader in the present progressive
movement in Texas. It may not be
necessary to call the attention of the
public to Judge Duncan and who he
is, but in order to refresh, the mem-
ory of those who desire tb ber in-
formed, it may be said that he i*
now and has been since the Interna-
tional & Great Northern was thrown
into the hands of a leceiver one of
the attorneys for that road, with a
salary of $7500 per annum. He
is the same Duncan who threatened
Judge McCord that if he appointed
Tim Campbell receiver it would
ruiri him. When he made this
threat he wanted the receivership
himself. He is also one of the rail-
road attorneys whose advice Gov.
Hogg has taken in making a race
fof the second term. Now this man
whom the people of Texas so close-
ly associate with that disgraceful
transaction known as the Interna-
tional &, Great Northern receiver-
ship, has addressed a Tyler audience
in particular and the people of Texas
in general, and has announced that
he is the friend of corporations.
This is not at all strange. It pays
him to be the friend of corporations.
He charges that the railroads are
furnishing large funds to the Clark
campaign, notwithstanding honor-
able gentlemen, whose veracity has
never been questioned, have said
that this is not true. He said fur-
ther in this speech that Judge Clark's
followers were made up of the
"scum of the democracy." With-
out , attempting to disprove this
charge it is just as well to call at-
tention to tx Qpv. Ross, ex-Senator
Maxey and ex-Gov7^Tlr?ackmorton.
who are probably the most prorui=~
nent public men who are supporting
Judge Clark, in rebuttal of this
charge. Judge Duncan's bitter na-
ture ^and gnawing vindictiveness
passed all bounds when he charged
that Jud£e Clark was guilty of judi-
cial corruption in the Rothchilds de-
cision. As a lawyer he knows per-
fectly well that this decision has
been sustained for a number of years
since rendered, and was rendered by
a unanimous court. A cause that
bases itb merit upon the support and
adVorcaity of such a man as Judge
Duncan| should be rebuked by the
unanimpus condemnation of all
good ahd fair-minded men.* The
intelligent'masses in Texas will not
believe what Judge Duncan says,
but thjbre are large classes of ignorant
but gbod men who cannot believe
that Gov. Hogg would be supported
by men who are reckless in their
charges and unscrupulous in their
methods;—For this reason Judge
Duncan's conduct is the more repre-
hensible.
Conspicuous by its absence from
this address was anything derogatory
of Col. Gerald. Judge Johrf M.
Duncan may have a grievance
against Judge Gerald for having
yentillated the corrupt and question-
able methods of the International
receivership, thereby bringing odium
upon his good name, but Judge
Clark has been careful to discourage
any disposition to evoke from him
any expression on that subject. It
Judge Duncan thinks he will pro-
voke Judge Clark into any hasty re.
tort he is very mueh mistaken.'
Judg^ Clark's demeanor in this cam-
paign is dignified and challenges the
admiration of honorable men.

dozen other states hold their conven-
tions for the chosing of delegates to

A WHITESBORO TRAGEDY.
Early Tuesday morning at a
point in the country a few miles
south of Whitesboro, a farm hand
by the name of John, Campbell
assassinated another laborer by the
name of Jim Farris. It seems that
Farris had charged Campbell with
stealing a small quantity ot tobacco,
and knowing that Farris would pass
through a certain wire gap in a
thick hedge on his way to work on
that morning, Campbell concealed
himself near the gap and waited for
his victim. About six o'clock Far-
ris approached and was in a stoop-
ing position, to pass through the
wires, when the fatal shot was fired,
the assassin immediately disappear-
ed and has not as yet been captured.
