A Letter from California.
17>   CORDON,
' "f hie pioneer. Painter.
Continued from last week;
From Salt Lake City to Odgen, the
Denver and. Rio Grande traverses a
narrow plain. On the "West lies the
Great Salt Lake, while to the north
rise the elevated peaks o£ the Wasatch
Mountains. This region is under a
high state of cultivation, farms reaching their green fields over, its length
and breadth, and little streams run in
bright threads out of the mountain
canons down across the meadows.
The lake is in full view of the traveler
most of the way to Odgen, and "was a
never-ending source of interest as we
sped on our way to that city, which we
reached Sunday afternoon between two
and three o'clock.
We were then swiftly nearing the
border of Nevada, and Monday morning, April 10th, we stopped at the
pretty little town of Reno, Nevada, for
breakfast. Iu addition to being the
county-seat of Washoe county, Reno is
a thriving business center. It possesses
all the modern improvements, including electric lights. The town was
named after General Reno, who lost
his life in the battle of South Mountain. Reno possesses a lively interest
for the traveler, as it is the j miction
point to the world famed "Comstoek
Mines."
After leaving Reno, the scenery becomes grand beyond description, far
surpassing that of the Rockies. Just
imagine, if you can, what a beautiful
sight it was, as we were winding our
way through the Sierra Nevada range;
to look out of the window, and see our
train circling the heights of a mountain, bringing us into every view of the
grandeur, hundreds of feet below in
the valley; and ou the sides of the hills,
where the sweetest little home were
built, surrounded by immense fields of
green thickly dotted with the most
beautiful wild flowers I ever saw; many
of them surpassing iu beauty even some
of our Eastern cultivated tlqweys,..
As spring was soniewhEit farther advanced' hey.e. than in the East, the
orchards were already budded and
seemed to be waiting impatiently to
burst into bloom. Altogether, it wa^s
the finest piece of scenery SJ^at i saw
No doubt some of my readers Will
wonder how we amused ourselves on
the train, evenings when we could not
enjoy the beautiful scenery stretched
about us. Fortune favored us when we
left Chicago, by bringing two splendid
musicians into our car. One gentleman played a mandolin and another
played the guitar and mouth-organ together; so you see we had a favorite
amusement at our disposal, and we enjoyed the evenings very much, with
both vocal and instrumental music, as
well as game-playing which we sometimes had in the afternoon, and many
times, music besides.
Traveling is not near so tedious as I
supposed it to be, especially, when one
can have such a pleasant time enjoying
the scenery through the day, together
with the ever-attractive music for
evening.
The wild flowers, too, were very beautiful, and, I will venture to say, that no
one could take more pleasure in gathering them, than we young people, every
time the train made a stop.
Well, dear friends, I think I shall
have to bring my long letter to a close,
as I do not wish to try th3 patience of
the editor, Mr. Warren, this time; but,
I will agree to send you a description
of some of the interesting places which
I have visited here in San Diego, and
in the surrounding country, at some
future date; if my poor and incomplete
effort this time, succeeds in interesting
you.
With kind wishes to all, I am ever,
Yours Respectfully,

Many ladies have used our machines
twenty to thirty years in their family work,

we furnished tliem a generation ago.
Many of our machines have run more
than twenty years without repairs, other
than needles. With proper care they
never wear out, and seldom need repair.
We have built sewing machines for
more than forty years and have constantly
improved them. We build our machines
on honor, and they are recognized everywhere as the most accurately fitted and
finely finished sewing machines iu the
world. Our latest, the "No. 9," is the
result of our long experience. In competition with the leading machines of the
world, it received the Grand Prize at the
Paris Exposition of 1SS9, as the best,
other machines receiving only complimentary medals of gold, silver and bronze.
The Grand Prize was what all sought for,
and our machine was awarded it.
