In some respects California is an enchanted, country. The average tourist, while crossing the barren wastes of Arizona, is dream ing, of ilie time when he shall cross the long-Iooked-for Colorado river and enter Hint famous coast state, expecting to revel at once amid orange groves and fields of flowers, but alns! how bitter his 'disappointment! Foy even after be has crossed the 'wilderness of Arizona and ihe California frontier, he discovers i the Kldonulo of Ms dreams lies on (lie oilier side of a desorl, almost two hundred miles in breadth, beyond whoso desolate waste the siren of the sunset, sea still beckons him and wliis-i) thirty mijes. persV "Beyond the Alps lies The average .1 J.T t't i I first questions asked is, state did you come?"

During January, Febiimry and Mnreh we bad a voiy heavy rainfall, but again the skies'have cleared am) probably'Ilia rainy season is over for this yenr. A spring day in California is a 'dream. Hoses nnd lilies and pansies vie with each ollior in fragrance and beauty; (do mocking bird sings as if he would challenge the inimical celeb'- rilies of the world to a contest, and over mountain and valley bangs lhat soft, enchanting Imxc which hypnotizes the individual and lures him on into a day dream from which nothing but the sound tif the dinner bell can arouse him. Hero one may enjoy the extremes of climate to'his complete "salisfaclion. It would be possible to enjoy a snowstorm in tlie mountains, to pick oranges at Pasrideii!) and to bathe in the surf at Sanla Monica all i i a a and wilhin a distance of But modern methods transportation soon bring you to .1 change of scenery, and you press your face against the oar window drinkiiig in the verdant vision of loveliness which has flashed into view.

Jiedlaiuls, Pnlui Grove and Los Angeles all follow in rapid succession, and you find yourself in the cosmopolitan metropolis of Southern California. Here yon meet Ihe Indian, negro, Mexican, Chinaman, Jap and UIB same street, each representing a different variety of.liiuniin destiny. "How cairl. distinguish caslevn er from a native Caiifornian?" is the natural query. "There are no native Californians'.

1 is the'reply; "this is modern an eastern cily. Ninc-lenllis- of our inhabitants came here from the East less than fifteen years ago; many of them less a five. AVe tire an old people with a liow home." Meet whom yon will and one of the cost of living here'is higher than iii the East, but hs a rule wages are belter. Los Angeles is still enjoyiiig (he boom which she 'has'en- joyed for several years past, ami it bids fair to continue for some time to come. She is now struggling with ihe questions of additional water supply and elevated railroads, both of which demand immediate attention.

Real eslale ollices arc almost as thick as the fleas, and every vacant lot is fenced in free of charge with "for sale" signs. But pardon me for imposing upon your good nature to this I hope to. visit- flic Oregon and "Washington country on my way. east and perhaps a lines from tiiat country will be appreciated more limn so much now. Best wishes to yourself and the Democrat management.
