Los ANGELES, CAL., Jan. 12. 1892. EpITOR STAR: —My lust screed having | escaped the ravenous maw of the waste basket, 1 will venture another one. At- tracted by the glimmer of THE STAR in the east, I have a longing to journey thither, but as that is out of the question, I must content myself with writing. Per- haps if I were one of the wise men of the west, I would break camp here and fol- low the light of THE STAR. But be it for lack of wisdom or inability to travel, 1 am content to remain here in the land of the semi-tropics, especially at this season of the year when you are shoveling snow, while we are basking in sunshine, By the way, 1 saw one of your neigh- bors off for the land of blizzards and snowdrifts tus afternodn. I refer 10 Mr. Jonas E. Gnagey, of Grantsville, Md. During his three or four weeks visit here, he thuroughly inspected the country, and 1 think he was favorably impressed with the climate, soil, and things in general, notwithstanding the fact that he struck us at a time when we were having our most inclement weather. But he can speak for himself when he reaches home. I only know that he had his eye on a nice little farm between here and the ocean, and it would not surprise me if abouf next year he returned here with his nu- merous family. That would be quite an addition to the population of this country, as Mr. Gnagey is the proud father of fourteen children, all living. His daugh- ter Cora remains with her aunts at Paga- dens. It was Mr. Gnagey’s intention on leaving here to stop enroute home, at Lincoln, Neb., to yisit his old friend and neighbor, “Coon” Bodes, formerly of Grantsville, and friends in Indiana. This afternoon I stepped into the office of Dr. Germanus Knepper, a native of Grantsville (now one of Los Angeles moet prosperous dentists) to see his grand- father’s clock. This is an ancient heir- loom over a hundred years old, and just sent to. Dr. Knepper by his brother-in- law, Samuel J. Beachy, Grantsville’s fam- ous sale crier. The doctor is having the old clock repaired and set up as an orna- ment to his office, and I assure you he is proud of it. Grantsville has another representative here, in the person of Mr. Harrison Full- er, a brother, 1 believe, of Bent and Hi- ram Fuller. 1 bave not met Mr. Fuller vet, but he is one of the prosperous ranch- ers of Los Angeles county. He has a danghter who is quite a phenomenal sing- er. She has been in Europe several years completing her musical education. She is training for the grand opera, I believe. This is quite a distinction for a Grants- ville girl. This has been a dry season thus far. We have had only about one inch of rain this winter up to date. Two or three inches more this month, however, will insure good crops of grain, Nearly all the fruit lands are irrigated, and as there is an abundance of water in the moun- tains from last year’s surplus, it will not make much difference, so far as the fruit interests are concerned, whether we have anv more rain this season or not. I feel confident, however, that we will have an abundance of moisture betore the winter is over. Frosts have been quite heavy of late, and some nursery stock and plants in exposed places have been de- stroyed, but the orange crop has not been injured. The damage hy the wind storm of December 11th is also not so extensive as at first reported. 1 see a good deal in your paper about electric lights and electric railways; in a future letter 1 will tell you something about the electric system of this city. Wishing THE STAR continued prosperi- ty, I remain very truly, W.S8 L. THE COUNTY CAPITAL. Mrs. H. 8. Endsley last week gave a series of delightful parties 10 the ladies of this town. On Thursday evening she entertained a number of elderly married ladies, on Friday evening a number of young married ladies and on Saturday evening a number of single ladies. These entertainments were pronounced delight- ful by all who participated. Houses are very scarce here, and as the 1st of Aprilis not a very remote date, there is some uneasiness among those not ‘yet provided. The Somerset County Bar will give a banguet to Judges Baer, Longanecker, en at the Somerset house and promises to be a swell affair. More than forty 1- vitations have been sent abroad. : Burgess Welfley spent most of last week at Salisbury, his old home. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce McGriff have the sympathy of the entire community in the loss of their only son, who died last week. He was a bright and engiging boy of efght or nine years of age. as cashier of the Frst National bank since its organization, last week severed his connection with that institution to accept a position in Washington, D. C. Before bis departure he sold his handsome blooded mare to Mr. W. J. Hoblitzell, of Meyersdale, Pa., for a good long price. The Meyersdale Register seems much disgusted to find that the sun rises, and sets at Balisbury. The Meyersdale peo- ple always supposed that he started from their town on hig daily round. This, with its other fixed planet, THE STAR, gives Salisbury a decided lead on Meyers: dale. Miss Susan Schrock gave a very de- lightful masquerade party to a number of select friends on Wednesday evening of last week. The costumes worn there were quite fantastic and much amuse- ment was derived from the affair. Miss Grace Musselman also gave a very de- lightful party to her friends, at her home, on Saturday evening. Both young ladies are charming hostesses and are deserved- ly popular. Oh! for some organization in these days of granges, etc., that will make our country roads more passable. Any one perfecting any party or organization that can bring this to pass will confer a great boon on a mud-bespattered, mud-wading pnblie, Miss Ella Vogel will give a party to her lady friefids this evening. Somerset is just now at her gayest sea- son and all seem to enjoy life, Jan. 19th, 1892. . : Saint Paul. MR. EpiTor:—By looking over the lo- cal news of your valuable paper, I see our burg is silent, or not represented. As lively a little city as this we certainly do not want to see remain in silence and let those: who live in rural districts and towns do all the gasing. Our town is beautifully situated ona plateau where we can breathe the pure mountain air and hear the gentle zephyrs sweep along. Our people are all thrifty, industrious and law-abiding citizens. We have no use of a jail, penitentiary or almshouse in our town. Everybody is willing to put his shoulder to the wheel and work for the maintenance and support of his family. Our town contains good business facil. ities, but one great obstacle is that we do not have more dwelling houses. Public enterprises are so closely situated that we conld make use of a good many more houses. We also need a good blacksmith shop, as it is very inconvenient forthe farmers to go to Salisbury or Summit Mills to get their blacksmithing done. If there is a good blacksmith any place who is out of employment, or has not a good location, he certainly would not go amiss by locating here. 1 know he would re- ceive a most hearty welcome from our citizens here and enterprising farmers in this vicinity, who sometimes have to spend half a day to get a horse shod or have other little jobs done. Our merchant ig doing a fair business, for the stock of goods he is carrying, but he needs a larger building. We hope and expect he will enlarge his building, so we can have a store of general merchandise, which I think would be desirable’ and profitable. We also need a daily mail instead of every other day. I think the citizens who get their mail at this office should demand it, and *‘Uncle Sam” could cer- tainly not object to such a wise move in that direction. It it very inconvenient sometimes when we want mail to go im- mediately. We either have to send it 10 Elk Lick or some other office to mail let- ters, if we cannot wait for our regular mail days. Especially is it very incon- venient in summer time, when the city boarders make their appearance, for they want a daily mail and will have it, re- gardless of distance from office. We have one schoolhouse and two church houses, namely: Lutheran and German Reformed, but the Gospel is preached to three different denominations—the two above named and the Menonites, As I stated before, we are situated in a beautiful town. known as Keim Post- office, hut this town, like her sister town (Salisbury) bears not the same name as that of the postoffice, wherein I think the aboriginees of 8t. Panl made a grand niis- take for not naming the town and post- office alike. Now, in conclusion I will say, Mr. Ed- itor, this is my first letter for your most valuable paper, which I hope will appear in your next issue, Wishing you snceess in your journal- ism, and some dav when the aurorabore- alis will illuminate the western horizon you shall be awarded a pecuniary com- pensation for the wheel of progress in the city of Salisbury. Respectfully, : / MORE ANON. Meyersdale. ! Last Thursday engine No. 585 and en- Salisbury Junction and Yoders siding, just west of Salisbury Junction. Both Mr. Andrew J.

May, Holler and Clurenee Liv- engood, the champion hunters of this barg, spent Saturday last in the moun- tains, but with what result we have not learned. Mr. Edgar Showalter, formerly of Sal- isbury, has located in this burg for the present. 8. J. Ringler, of Grassy Run, hauls from 75 to 80 bushels of coal for a four- horse load. He says that is not the best he can do, but jt is all his wagon-bed holds. Mr. Geo. Younkin, of Grantsville, Md.. passed through our town last week, en- route to the County Capital. Somerset seems to have an unusual attraction for him. : Patsie is learning violin music of Sam Livengood, of Salisbury. Mr. M. M. Bmith, of Meyersdanle, spent last Friday here on business. G. G.

Three cheers and a tiger for the Meyersdale and Salis- bury electric road! The cause of all this hilarity is not an overdose of T. Williams’ *‘bug juice.” as you might suppose, but reliable informa- tion of the building of the electric road. Mr. L. A. Smith, of the Commercial, received a cablegram from Boynton on Monday that stated that his correspond- ent there would take all the floating stock of the road. A meeting of the board of directors was called, at which it was unanimously decided to secure the ser- vices of Mr. John Schramm to take charge and run ‘the road. Just what his duty will be we are not informed, but suppose it will consist in platting and tying rib- hong on the tail of the electric steed. We hope John will be careful not to wak- en up the passengers in the Salisbury coach when he passes Robertson’s Sta- tion, where the engine leaves it side- tracked for the passengers to take their afternoon pap. This would not be nice for a rival road, and if the Salisbury en- gine were to find it out, the cowcatcher would get awtul mad. John will be sure to have a good load up, even if there is no one to go down. We notice some one from Meyersdale in Salisbury about once in six months, and they are dither drunk or lost and wreck their slejghs on Mr. Beachy's lumber pile, which is carefully scattered all over: the street to receive them. This lumber pile would make a splendid terminus for an electric road; that is, it would always end with a shock. It 18 confidently expected that this road will be in full operation by the spring of 1998, when Meyersdale expects to have the Columbian centennial or World’s fair. All that we have to say is that we wish the road a God speed, if any of that speed is necessary. Bul we think they will use the storage system. A CrTizER. . Consumption: Ballard’s Horehound Syrup.
