THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY MAY 24, 1906.
INTERESTING LETTER
FROM T. E. HUNT.
Tells of His Trip West and His
Visit to San Francisco
San Francisco, Cal.. May 9. —
| Dear friends and children: I
• spent two days in New Orleans
during the Reunion, seeing the
'old vets having a good time ,and
! the young people displaying them
j selves and their spring dresses
i that has caused them so much
work and worry for many days'
j before.
The sugar plantations, as you
I know, are in the low lands of
I Louisiana. The lands are very
! rich, but so low that they must
be drained by ditches at regular
intervals of several rods. In
these fields may be seen scores
of plows drawn by four mules,
and hundreds of hands cultiva
ting the cane that makes the
planters rich. Many of these
plantations have tram roads for
hauling the cane to the mills and
all of them have derricks for lift
ing the cane on wagons or trams.
We passed into Texas by the
Southern Pacific about nine
o’clock at night, and all the night,
all the next day and night and
until eight o’clock the next day
we sped across the plains of
Texas, over hundreds of miles of
country, barren but for the
mescite bushes and thorny cac
tus. We stopped about two
hoiirs in El Passo, and we went
over into Mexico, where we saw
an old mission founded in 1548,
and also the arena where the
bull tights are pulled off. On the
street car was displayed an ad
vertisement of a ball game in
ElPasso and a bull fight to take
place on Sunday. Just here I
would like to explain that I was
not there on Sunday. The adobe
huts, which is the abode of the
Mexicans, was very interesting
to me. These Mexicans appear
to be a very happy and contented
race of people, knowing nothing
of divorce .courts, or other
modern appliances. All around
El Passo the Rocky Mts. lift their
bald heads toward the skies. At
the foot of these mountains and
through the city, rushes the
muddy, angry waters of the Rio
Grande.
Leaving El Passo we started on
our journey across the barren
mountains of New Mexico, and
her plains four thousand feet
high, rich beyond comparison,
when water is applied.
I can not refrain from com
menting upon some of my travel
ing companions. In the berth
opposite me was a gentleman,
whose rotundity of figure, re
minds one very forcibly of the
“Beer that made Milwaukee
famous’’ and a countenance so
ruddy and benign that it might
have been taken for that of the
"Renowned Wouter Van Twiller ”.
Just in front of me was a dear
old lady with a Grecian nose and
a German figure. She is a sou
venir card fiend of the most pro
nounced type. She stopped at
every point where we had a two
minute stopover to collect these
souvenir cards, I would tell you
just how many cases she had
packed with these cards, if I
only knew. She insisted on in
tertaining every one in sight,
and especially the porters. It
required at least one porter to
attend to her meager wants. I
think that 1 can safely say that
the porters shed no tears when
she reached her destination, if
she ever did. She certainly in
sisted on having her money’s
1 worth.
To continue the narrative of
our journey, we sped on accross
the plateaus of New Mexico and
I Arizona, reaching Tucson about
I dark. The next morning when 1
I raised the blind and peeped out
11 beheld a desert indeed. We
'were in the desert country of
' California, where not a living
i thing could be seen. It has the
appearance of a sea bottom lately
| dried up. A little farther down
i this valley we came to a very re
-1 markable phenomenoh*of nature
viz 'Ciat ,s known a.t The Sait
Sea. This desert valley is below
sea level and is said to have been
at one time an arm of the Gulf of i
California, but dried up and be-,
came a salt desert. Some time
ago the Colorado River broke |
over into this valley and is rapid-'
ly filling it and forming a sea
more than forty miles long. The '
Southern Pacific R. R. has had !
to move its track more than once. I
In places we could see the tops ;
of the telegraph poles above the ■
water marking the former loca-1
tion of the road.
Leaving this desert valley, we
suddenly appeared in a valley
whose richness of soil and luxur
iance of vegetation contrasted
strangely with what we had been
seeing for two days passed. The
level valley lands were covered
with ripening and orange groves
in full bloom. The foot hills were
covered with a carpet of richest
green on which the sleek cattle
browsed with perfect content-'
ment. Far, far above these, but
.in plain view the lofty peaks of
the mountains were covered with
snow. Oh! such a view’ as it was.
It was a theme for a poet, but
the poets were in Georgia.
The sailing of our boat being
delayed, I stayed in Los Angeles
until May the seventh. I arrived
in Oakland, which is just across
the bay from San Francisco, in
the night and walked the streets
until two o’clock in the morning
trying to get someplace to sleep,
and finally paid one dollar for the
privelege of sitting in a chair and
listening to about twenty other
fellows snore on cots, chairs, etc.
The next morning I went
across the ferry to San Francis
co, or rather where it was, for
it has practically been blotted out
of existence. All that you have
read in the papers about the
earthquake and fire is true and a
great deal more. The city is one
heap of ruins. There is not a
building left uninjured, and three
fourths of the city lies prostate
on the ground. In the main por
tion of the city only two building
are standing—the Fairmount ho*'
tel and the postoffice, imagine a
city three times as large as At
lanta with every wall cracked or
melted to the ground, every
street car out of business, not a
drop of water and you will have
the situation here. But for the
heaps of debris and the people
going here and there over the
ashes, it would be a howling wil
derness.
Even in that part of the city
not visited by the fire the chim
neys are all down and fastideous
ladies, the proud dames of mag
nificent homes, cook their meals
on stoves in front of the streets
In that part of the city swept by
tire it is pathetic to see the efforts
of the people to shelter them
selves. One family sought shel
ter by digging into the bank by
the street. Another had actually
constructed themselves a small
shelter of costly picture frames.
Many people have not yet located
all of their families. I met two
little girls searching for their
father whom. I fear, they will
never find alive. The unfortu
nate ones are being cared for as
well as can be expected. I saw
more than a thousand smutty,
hungry men eating at one time
from rudely constructed tables,
and at the same time several
thousand waiting their turn. I
saw in two different places a row
of women and children tw r o blocks
long marching along to draw
their supply of food. In this line
can be seen women once wealthy
but now drawing their share of
the loaf bread, potatoes, canned
meats and bacon with the poor
washwoman, and glad to get it
' too.
The debris is being removed
from the street as fast as possi
; hie. and safes are being opened
generally to find the contents
charred and worthless. I saw
several safes opened and only a
small per cent had stood the test
of the terrible tire.
Hundreds of people are walking
over the ruins searching for rel
ies. In this respect I consider
myself fortunate as I found a
piece of gold for which I have
been offered twenty five dollars,
but think I shall keep it myself.
1 would like to write considera
bly more but for fear of th? waste
basket I desist. We sail today
via Honolulu. My best regards
to all.
