CLARENCE REID WRITES FROM THE FAR WEST
Interesting Letter Received by Clem Reid, of the Bass Works
Mr. Clem Reid, of the Bass machine shops, has received the following interesting letter from his brother Clarence, descriptive of his western trip:
"Lewiston, Idaho, Feb. 23, 1906.
"I left Santa Anna December 26 for Los Angeles, and from there went to Redando bay and took a steamer for San Francisco the next morning. I soon got seasick and heaved up Jonah and the whale together, I think. We arrived in San Francisco in three days and spent three days there seeing all We could. It is a grand city.
"On New Year's day I was on the Pacific again, seasick as before. We reached Portland, Oreg., in four days. Portland is 110 miles from the ocean, on the Columbia rever, surrounded by the grandest scenery I have ever seen. I was in Portland month and left then for The Dalles, 110 miles away, or 150 miles by steamer, and saw more beautiful scenery. I took train then for Walla Walla, Wash., where I spent three days. I then got work on the new O. R. & N. railroad at Lewiston, but sprained my wrist and quit the job.
"I will try sheep herding for a while until my wrist gets better. In this work I must furnish my own blankets and sleep out doors. This is a grand country—fine for farming with fat stock and rich valleys. I may go to Montana this summer to help with the harvest. This is a good fruit country, but none was raised last season. Apples are $8 and bananas 40 cents a dozen. Everything is high in this town. Lewiston is enclosed by hills. I will take it easy for a while and then go to the lumber mill or gold fields 100 miles north of here. This country is warm the year round. Not much rain or snow. They irrigate here in places. A good meal here costs 50 cents outside of camps, but in camp 25 cents, and a feast every meal."

CLARENCE REID HAS BEEN UNFORTUNATE
Clarence Reid, formerly a section man on the Nickel Plate, but who left for the west last November, has been particularly unfortunate and his friends hope that his fortune will change for the better. After leaving Fort Wayne and arriving in the west, he was stricken with typhoid fever, from which he suffered a long time. After regaining his health, he secured a position on a railroad, but was injured and forced to resign. While in the city he was an enthusiastic member of the Railroad Y. M. C. A.
