Old Shipmasters of Salem. 
This chronicle tells of the good old 
days when Salem was the leading 
port in New England and her trading 
vessels were known on every sea. 
The Salem merchants were brave, 
enterprising, patriotic and proud of 
their native city. On their long voy- 
ages for silks and spices they en- 
countered strange adventures, and 
this narrative of their lives is full of 
interest and charm. 
A Communication. 
To the Editor of the North Shore Breeze: 
Kindly allow me to inquire, through 
your columns, as to whether the Com- 
mittee on Public Property of the City 
of Beverly knows that the 19th of 
April, which has just passed, was a 
legal holiday, and also if they know 
that the 30th of May, which is com- 
ing, is also a legal holiday. I make 
the above query because I notice that 
no effort as yet has been made to put 
in position the top mast on the only 
public liberty pole in Beverly Farms. 
Until this has been done we must go 
without “Old Glory ”’ being flung to 
the breeze on this particular flag pole. 
Thus through the negligence of some 
of the men who are supposed to 
represent us at City hall the impres- 
sion is naturally created that we are 
“still in the woods.” Will the above 
named committee kindly have it put 
in place at least in time for Decoration 
Day ?

ACROSS THE CONTINENT, 
Descriptions of a Trip from Boston to San 
Francisco and Return. 
[The following is taken from notes made 
by Thomas D. Connolly of Beverly Farms, 
on a recent trip to San Francisco. — ED.] 
No. 4. — From the Rio Grande to Los Angeles. 
When we left Del Rio we came 
alongside of the Rio Grande river and 
further along came to another river, 
which runs into the Rio Grande, called 
Devil’s river. We started through the 
Rockies and then came to a bridge 
over the Pecos river 2180 feet Jong. 
The bed of the river is 140 feet wide 
and from top of rail to river it is 320 
Feets 
You find about here, every eight or 
ten miles, section houses with a fore- 
man, a white man having a nice home 
and in the rear of his house three or 
four long shanties where his Mexican 
assistants with their families live. 
The scenery in these mountains is 
wonderful, great canyons, picturesque 
rocks and cattle feeding. The land is 
so poor that they allow one steer to 
each 40 acres of land and the cow 
punchers keep a sharp look out. In 
these mountoins a few years ago, the 
Apachees would make raids and mur- 
der the settlers, driving off their 
cattle. They would go from Mexico 
into the United States and vice versa. 
Gerronimo, their chief, was finally cap- 
tured and is now a prisoner. He went 
before President Rosevelt a few weeks 
ago begging for his freedom, but the 
President answered, “ You have a 
bad heart ;” and it is very true. Ger- 
ronimo was the worst type of an In- 
dian. No one knows how many men, 
women and children were murdered 
by this scoundrel and I have always 
thought ita shame that he should be 
paraded and exhibited at the Pan 
American Exposition. 
We have arrived in New Mexico, a 
land of trackless waste, adobe huts 
and smelters. The conductor of our 
train here was formerly a conductor on 
the old Boston & Lowell R.R. in 1883. 
In Arizona you can see large herds 
of goats, and we have just passed one 
herd of over 200. I should judge from 
where we are now that we must be 
5,000 feet above sea level, and we easily 
feel it, the air being so light and dry. 
It has taken us 36 hours to cross 
the State of Texas. .We stopped at 
San Simon, on the line between New 
Mexico and Arizona. Here we saw 
two large locomotives which had been 
destroyed as a result of the oil taking 
fire. We passed Bowie and Wilcox, 
where there are large stockyards. We 
were up early this morning as we — 
crossed the line between Arizona and 
California, and at Salton saw large salt 
mines. The salt looks like snow on 
the ground. Salton is 263 feet below 
sea level and quite a warm place in 
' Summer. 
About four feet below the surface 
here you can find salt 10 inches thick. 
The valley of Lower California at one 
time was part of the Gulf of California, 
and through some volcanic upheaval 
was shut in, the water evaporated, and 
hence this layer of salt. Small, egg- 
shaped boulders are here, which also 
show that they were made so by the 
action of the sea at one time. 
After leaving Salton we commenced 
to climb again until we reached an 
elevation of about 4,000 feet. At 
Colton and Redlands on each side of 
the track are orange and lemon trees 
loaded with ripe fruit. This is quite 
a sight to look at after leaving ice, 
snow and cold weather five days ago. 
This part of California is beautiful 
and a noted fruit district. We ar- 
rived at Los Angeles, which place I 
shall describe in my next letter. 
We arrived at Los Angeles at I 
P. M., and I want to say that this 
is a beautiful country. Los Angeles 
in 1880 had 10,000 people; in 1890, 
50,000, and now over 100,000. Al- 
most all of these people came from
