From this remark is to be excepted the vast basin watered by the Colorado, and the country lying between that river and the range of Cordilleras, represented as running east of the Tulare lakes, and south of the parallel of 36°, and the country between the Colorado and Gila rivers. "Of these regions nothing is known except from the reports of trappers, and the speculations of geologists.
The ex-engineer promptly became voluble, assertive, doggedly emphatic. "Smartest little tad in all Tulare County, and more fun! A regular whole show in herself." "And the hops?" inquired the other. "Bully," declared Dyke, with the good-natured man's readiness to talk of his private affairs to any one who would listen. "Bully. I'm dead sure of a bonanza crop by now. The rain came JUST right.
"I wrote that poem," hazarded Presley, "at a time when I was terribly upset. I live," he concluded, "or did live on the Los Muertos ranch in Tulare County Magnus Derrick's ranch." "The Railroad's ranch LEASED to Mr. Derrick," observed Shelgrim. Presley spread out his hands with a helpless, resigned gesture.
We also attended a camp-meeting at Tulare, where we met Brother and Sister Brundage and other saints. In the month of March, after being in California a year and four months, we took the southern route and returned East by way of Arizona. We stopped at Phoenix and held a two weeks' meeting with good success. One evening I visited a sick sister, who seemed to be suffering considerably.
And now as Trampas declared tickets to California would be dear and Rawhide had better come first, the Southerner let loose his heaven-born imagination. "There's a better reason for Rawhide than tickets, Trampas," said he. "I said it was too late for Tulare." "I heard you," said Trampas. "Opinions may differ. You and I don't think alike on several points."
A number of people took their stand for the truth in that meeting. At a Ministers' Meeting at Tulare, California, in 1945, while the noon lunch was being served, I was sitting in the chapel with my head bowed on the chair in front of me, praying for a certain amount of money, not expecting any money at that meeting.
"We've paid pretty well, you see." "You're late for Tulare, Trampas," said the Virginian. "I was not thinking of Tulare," Trampas retorted. Scipio's nose was in the frying-pan. "Mos' comical spot you ever struck!" said the Virginian, looking round upon the whole company. He allowed himself a broad smile of retrospect. "To hear 'em talk frawgs at Tulare!
The Virginian paused, and finished eating a leg. And then with diabolic art he made a feint at wandering to new fields of anecdote. "Talkin' of senators," he resumed, "Senator Wise " "How much did you say wages were at Tulare?" inquired one of the Trampas faction. "How much? Why, I never knew what the foreman got. The regular hands got a hundred. Senator Wise " "A hundred a MONTH?"
Everything above board here to-night." Magnus cast a glance at the contents of the letter, then rose to his feet and read: Magnus Derrick, Bonneville, Tulare Co., Cal. Dear Sir: By regrade of October 1st, the value of the railroad land you occupy, included in your ranch of Los Muertos, has been fixed at $27.00 per acre. The land is now for sale at that price to any one.
"You don't give you don't give a damn that's the trouble with you you don't care what I do!" Eleanor drew a little away from him before she answered: "I care if anyone is uncivil." "What is it but a Chink? They expect it! Why, down in Tulare " His voice fell away as though he recognized the futility of an attack in this form. She spoke: "It is you who should not expect it."
