THE TWICE-A-WEEK HERALD JUNE 2o 19o6
A TRIP TO PACIFIC
Our Iowa Friends Makes a
Purchase of Panhandle
Lands.
(Extract from a letter to Allerton Iowa
News.)
To all the friends and neighbors
near and far away:
I have at last decided to tell them
of my journey to the Pacific coast
in 1906. Many of them may have
looked forward for this far a long
time but time and opportunity
have been against me this far
therefore I beg to be excused if
any of my friends have got weary
by this time but I will endeavor to
do my best and not be tedious to
wear on the patience of the kind
editor of the Allerton News.
As luck would have it we left
our home town Allerton Dec. 26
1905 for Kansas City and after a
short stop there we boarded a
through train for Denver Colo.
and there enjoyed the hospitality
of my kind nephew Henjamine
Reipi who was at that time in the
ice business. I will pass no opinion
about the city only that it is a
swell place. From the dome of the
capitol we could see Pikes Peak
about 75 miles distant and a num-
ber of other places of interest. In
a few days we took leave and start-
ed on our way to Colorado Springs
which is a delightful place in the
summer. While there we visited
the Garden of the Gods and also
Manitou at the foot of Pikes Peak
and had a drink from the soda
springs that is bubling up from the
earth. It was there that I went to
the top of a mountain the first time
in my life and I found it as hard
to decend it as it was to climb it.
and also took a trip to Port Har-
ford where at that time a whale
had washed to shore. They were
xtending the wharf there for the
il men spent thousands of dollars
heTe and were preparing it to load
large ocean vessels with oil IJut
during our stay in the city we
made a visit twenty miles distant to
a sea shore town called Cyucas
we had to pass through Mora a lit
tle village in the shade of an euca
lyptus grove there also was Moro
rock surrounded by water a much
talked of land mark in that country
there we struck the beach for seven
milss. I just like to say to my dry
land friends that a beach drive can
not 1e over estimated. Cyucas is a
small town on the shore not over
10 ft above high tide.
Los Angeles was the next stop
after a twenty-four hour ride
through a desert country lauding
in the city at night. The morning
sun came forth in its usual sum
tner glory roses and flowers every
where such a contrast was delight
ful but this time we stayed only a
few days for we got anxious to see
our folks. The first stop was in
San Louis Obispo but as we left
the city on the Southern Pacific
road I for the first time beheld
the great ocean a beautiful sight
but the railroad and the ocean
seemed to get too close together to
suit me for several times we were
several hundred feet above the sea
level and no earth in sight on the
sea side and land-slides and leav
ing the track and tumbling down
into the ocean are some of the
thoughts that force themselves up
on the individual at such periods of
life.
We set our day for our departure
for San Jose Calif. where we
stopped with sister Hattie Wise
but in going there we had to cross
the Coast Range mountains and
down the Salinas Valley till we
reached Gilroy and from there
through Santa Clara Valley which
is fruit country apples peaches
prunes apricots and berries of all
kinds indeed interesting trip. We
landed in Sin Jose about 2 o'clock
p. w. and at once proceeded to
look for sister Hattie Wise but as
she had changed her address and
wc could find no one who knew of
her we took a room and made our
selves at home till the next day we
got her located and found her all in
yan upheavel of moving and adjust-
ing things but "never mind you
come right on" was her reply and
indeed we were royally entertained
while there. She also accompani-
ed us to a number of resorts.
The city was a beautiful place as
a tourist town but badly hurt in
the earthquake it is entirely sur-
rounded by fruit farms. I also
met Mr. RufT hale and hearty
who as a boy left Vayne county
but after a few days of pleasant
stay sister Hattie accompanied us
to San Francisco where we took
rooms with Mr. Hall Sanders and
visited a number of relatives and
00k in the city generally. I can
not describe it in details but will
suffice to say Golden Gate park
Strawberry Hill the Shoots The
Cliff House the Town Hall U. S.
Mint where I lifted a $25000
gold brick the big Hotels the
Wharf U. S. Transports Chjna
Town and a number of less import
ant scenes. Sister Hattie returned
in a few days but Mrs. Lillie Hut-
man was like a guardian angel and
her company we surely appreciated
and also Mamie Sanders. It is
surely too bad the city suffered
such fate as it did.
We left for Yuma Ariz. sup
posed to be the hottest place in the
states. I took chance see the dam
that is being built by the govern-
ment. I think they have the right
plan but it is not a get rich quick
scheme. I think it will cost ten
million dollars. The object is to
irrigate the valley for ioomiles.just
what the result will be is hard to
estimate. Yuma has a great future
before it. From there we went to
Fl Paso Texas. The town is a
rustling place but the country
needs irrigation. We also visited
old Mexico the first time I left the
IT. S. I felt letter though when I
got back to my native land. I al-
so looked over the large smelters
located there. I thought they
ought to locate them in a cooler
country for comfort. After seeing
all the sights we left for Dalhart
Texas and changed there on the
Fort Worth & Denver road to Am-
arillo Texas where I made head-
quarters for six weeks for I intend
ed to investigate that country from
an agricultural view. I have found
it better than I was told good
water light air rain and sun shine
high altitude mild winters and a
rich soil; it is a coming country
and a bread winner but as yet
yet sparsely settled. After in
vestigating and buying four sec-
tions I came home.
Now if any of the readers of this
letter desire any information of any
particular town or country that I
have mentioned in this letter I will
cheerfully give it if they write me
for the information and those liv-
ing in California. I mean this for
a letter and look for a reply of the
same and extend a hearty invita
tion to come hence and give me a
long visit.
Yours truly
C. H. & J. R. Bkki-kr.

Stands for Honest Cigar Values
CIGAR EDITORIALS No. 9
'How do you buy your cigars? On their looks their reputa
tion or on what the dealer tells you ?
There's no assurance in any of these methods.
The dealer even when he is unprejudiced doesn't always
know. And you can't judge a cigar by the wrapper a wrapper
like charity may cover a multitude of sins.
Neither does the brand name give absolute assurance in
other than "A" (Triangle A) production ; it often happens that
the brand which pleased you yesterday will disappoint to-day
unless it's an "A (Triangle A) brand.
There is only one way by which you can be certain before you
light it what kind of a cigar you have bought and that way is to
buy cigars marked by the " A' (Triangle A) on the box.
This mark ".A" distinguishes cigars made under the new
improved processes of the American Cigar Company processes
which have revolutionized cigar making and have introduced
certainty where there was only haphazard uncertainty before.
This mark on a cigar box guarantees that the cigars within
have been blended and ripened to perfection; that whatever the
price there will be no "rawness" or bitterness in the taste and
that the cigars will "run" with absolute uniformity month after
month and year after year.
There are many brands of cigars made under the "A" (Trian-
gle A) merit mark so that your personal taste can be exactly
suited. A prominent example is the Cast&ell Club cigar at
10c. One of the latest productions is the
Anna Held
Cigar 5 Cents
The unvarying qualities of this cigar easily make it the equal
of any 3-for-25c. cigar other than those maae under the "A"
(Triangle A) processes.
