Santa Clara Valley San Fran
cisco, the Great Metropolis
of the : Western Coast
dimpses of Oregon.
: From Santa Cms ' the editorial
party traveled up the Santa Clara
.Valley, one of the moat beantifal
valleys ia California and one of the
greatest ' fruit ' growini; regions in
the world. One-ball nt the prunes
in tba United States are grown hero.
Mo ether county in the United
States raises so many cherries and
none other so many apneets.
The greatest seed farms of the
world are in this wonderful taller,
both vegetable and flower seeds.
From the car windows we saw acres
of sweet peas and carnations. : It
was splendid sights-alt color of
blossoms, lo tavoraaie seasons
from two to three tons of sweet pea
seed alone are grown.
Just before reaching San Jose
our conductor pointed out, on the
top of Mt Hamilton, Lick Observa
tory, the finest equipped observa
tory in the world. - It was a gift
Irom James Liick, a Ualuornia pio
neer. We stopped at San Jose onlv
a short time but long enough to see
beautiful trees and (lowers around
the station and , some pretty homes
not tar from the railroad.
8AN PBANCIUCO, THE OREAT ' Ml,
TROPOMS OF THE WEST.
Continuing 1 oar ' journey np the
Santa Clara Valley we' reached the
Golden Oate Uitr about Sve o clock
in the afternoon. We Were met by
the reception commute ana taken
by street car to 8t Francis Hotel
which is named for St Francis D
Assisi, who founded the order of
Franciscan Monk and wbo first
blazed the trail' of civilization in
California the city' was also named
in honor of him. The St Francis
hotel is near the famous Nob Hill,
in front of it is a monument elected
in honor of Admiral Dewey. After
being assigned to our rooms a party
of us went out to see the sights near,
as we had a little time before sap
per, i I was surprised to nnd a brisk
wind blowing and it continued to
blow! and I imagine is blowing yet
lor I nave noticed that Ban Fran
cisco- has been called the "Windy
City. Men were wearing overcoats,
ladies f nrs, and heavy wraps, so we
soon decided that it would be well
for ns to follow the old saying,
"When in Borne do as Rome does."
' OHIKATOWV VI8ITED.
After snnner our entire naxtv as
sembled in the hotel lobby (all well
wrapped) to go through Chinatown.
Policemen were there ready to take
us in parties of twenty walking
only a short 4tstarice ;we found our
selves in 'Chinatown it seems as
different from San Francisco proper
as if it bad been hundreds of miles
away, there seems to be a distinct
dividing line first we went in a
store owned by ''Sing1 Fat" it was
filled to overflowing with all kinds
of curios, pottery, furniture and
everything to attract ' attention.
Some beautiful things and as a rule
things, especially X&iaawars was
very reasonable.- The guide took ns
next to ther"Joss. House"' the "Chi
nese churchi ; We went up straight
steen steps and entered the outer
chamber of the house of prayer, here
we were confronted by Uhinamen
selling sandal woed sticks. We saw
in here gorgeous robes, .worn by
Chinese emperors. In a separate
division we saw an altar npor.whreh
was seated a wooden indmdWel,;- it
is invokfrf neralrtywaen some
danger r misfortune is iminent.
Above 'this ' altar large colored
lanWns'were hanging aud at one
side was a life size image af a China
man with a sword in his hand and a
little flame bnrns constantly in front
of him. The history of this individ
ual waa terv interesting. He lived

The guide made every effort to
take us in opium dens, but failed at

arrival of the Editorial patty arid
preferred not being "written up," so
closed their doors to us.
' There are 20,000 Chinese living in
a space of twelve city blocks by
themselves. The - San Francisco
health authorities now inspect China
town and attend to sanitary . condi
tions regularly. After going up one
hill and down another, up a flight of
stairs and then down in a cellar, see
ing all kinds of work going on, we
left Chinatown, faced about aud
went back to the hotel thoroughly
tired and satisfied with the evening.
GOLDEN OATE AKD SAX HBAHCISCO
On Saturday morning our party
louna irouey cars waiung to snow
us the citr which covers 30.000 acres
of land and has a population of
000. The peninsular upon which
San Franoisco is built stretches bar-
teen the ocean and ad arm of thi)
Bay for forty miles. The rocks
thrust np through the sand duues at
intervals help to make the city
pictnreque and some one has Raid
that "in place of seven hills, as Borne
bad, Ban Fiancisso has hundred."
We realised this on the trolley cars

Congress had its share in the minori

uot serve satisfactorily on urn com
mittee assigned to bim, becanse not
familar with Us work then, when
there was some bill before the Aloose
for discussion - resorted from some
committee the Democrat on that com
mittee who was the leader of the min
ority on the committee,1 which had
made a mineritv report, wonld have
charge ef the bill from the Democrat
ic' standpoint and invanaoiy woum
ball matters up in the worst way be

have ail sorts oi inn wun mem.
This is what Mr illinms endeav
ored to avoid, ami he invariably
picked out the strongest men on the
Democratic Side fer the big commit
tees regardless of bis personal foiling
for them, and always f roai the stand
point of ability to handle the subjects
coming before that committee.. ,' . Of
course, some othar fwllew thougt he
was a bigger nuta than the man
packed out by Mr Williams, hence
the friction and the petty jealousies.
There was some taHtliere ler a while
that the Hon David A- DeArinond,
of Missouri, would be opposed to Mr
WmiahM for the SpeiSVeruuip caucus
nomination, and he was being groom
ed by a few of Mr Williams' disgunt-
led minority but tne talk nas uiea oat

to Mr WiUiauii at this time.,, ......
