Notes Of Travel.
Gleaned On A Transcontinental
Trip, By The Editor.
Teserrent No 0.
The Easterner will find an the P"aci-
fie coast many surprises and striking
features. The model city of Pasadena
is one of the ettrprises. In his jour-
ney westward from Chicago, the tra-
veller will find many "wide-open"
cities, and the farther west, in some
cases at least, the less of law and cen-
tral. Pasadena is a remarkable ex-
eeption.
Passing westward through the Sier-
ra Madre mountains the traveller finds
himself in a beautiful valley, known
as the Valley of Southern California.
Part of this larger tract is a smaller
valley,. known as the San Gabriel val-
ley, about 25 miles long and eight
miles wide. On the north are the San
Gabriel mountains; on the south the
Los Angeles hills, separating the val-
ley from the coast plain, In this val-
ley, about five miles from the moun-
tains, lies the city of Pasadena, nine
miles from Los Angeles and 25 miles
from the Pacific coast, at an elevation
of 850 feet above the sea level, or 500
feet higher than Los Angeles which
is nine miles nearer the ocean.
We have said that Pasadena is a
a marvel to the tourist. After tra-
versing the desert, he enters almost
suddenly the beautiful valley, with its
orange groves and luxuriant vegeta-
tion, Thriving towns and prosperous
communities are a pleasing change
from mountain regions and arid desert
wastes. As a city, Pasadena is un-
equalled in many respects, and de-
lights the tourist with the elegant
mansions of its numerous wealthy
citizens, the thousands of artistic
homes of the well-to-do and middle
class, its fine water, light and trans-
portation system, its cultured popula-
tion, its educational and religious ad-
vantages and influences, its semi -tropi-
cal gardens—all these produced upon
an uninhabited plain, in about thirty
years—and Pasadena is now a city of
over 30,000 inhabitants. This too,
with Los Angeles, 310,000 population,
so near. There are reasons for Pasa-
dena being as it is :-1st, its salubrious
climate; 2nd, the fine class of people
inhabiting it; 31d, the pride they take
in having their city clean, orderly and
well-governed—in other words, a "city
of homes,"
Pasadena is the result of a wise
choice, About thirty years ago, cer-
tain citizens of Indiana desired to find
a, congenial western home with a lest
rigorous climate than that of the east.
They went about it in a business way,
by appointing a committee of reliable
men to investigate. This committee
travelled for months over California,
and after careful comparison selected
the San Gabriel valley, where the win-
ters were mild, the heat not oppres-
sive in the summer, and frost never
killed orange trees ; the soil was rich
and water available. The wisdom of
their choice has never been question-
ed. The land was set out in orange
groves, which by degrees were sold
into town lots; these gave way in
some places to handsome business
blocks, and Pasadena is the result,
The name is of Indian origin and sig-
nifies "Crown of the Valley"; hence
its emblem is a crown. Its growth is
steady ; it is not a boom city—as a
matter of fact it is without factories
and the inhabitants do not want them.
A peculiar incident happened recently.
A citizen removing desired to sell a
few things by auction, and to 1 in this
city of over 30,000 people, not an auc-
tioneer could be found. There is no
ambition either to see this a great
business city, but rather a city of
beautiful homes. It is also true that
Los Angeles business men can reach a
Pasadena home more quickly by Pasa-
dena's continuous electric car service,
than they can reach a home in the
suburbs of their own city. The elec-
tric railways carry from 10,000 to 15,-
000 daily between the two cities.
Pasadena is credited with being one
of the best governed cities in the
United States. It is claimed that no
other city of its size has less drunken-
ness, crime and itnmorality. Often
weeks go by without a single arrest,
and its police force is always on the
alert. The writer has not yet seen
any person the worse for liquor, even
among the thousands who visited the
Tournament sports. And what is to
us remarkable, we have not yet seen
on its streets a single boy with a
cigarette in his mouth, Doubtless
there are these, but they are not fleg-
rantly in evidence. The Curfew whis-
tle sounds at 8 30 p, m, and there is
risk to children found on the streets
uneared for after that hour, if found
by the police. As an example—during
the Christmas week, a young boy was
engaged to deliver parcels for the
writer's son. On account of the busy
day, all could not be completed before
8 80 p. in., and the boy feared to con-
tinuo his work, lest he be "run fn."
illy arrangement with the Chief of
Polite permission was obtained to
complete the work, tinder the tiremn-
stances, and the boy delivered his par -
eels without molestation.
There are no saloons or Open bars in
Pasadena. ,Saloons are prohibited by
the eharter of the city, .Hotels may
furnish liquor (if desired) to their
guests, But the !novel atmosphere
appears to be stteh that violation of
the late to any serious extent at least,
Would not be tolerated, The saloon
element Is eonspieuous by its absence
in this favored city,
Winter In Pasadena extends from
November to April. , That ie the
"rainy" treason ; not that it rains all
the time, brat frau April to November
there is little or no min, rvinlle from
November to April there e'e Cfee G
al heavy rains, that store tip the water
that makes the valley fruitful during
the rainless season. The bright sun-
sitine in these winter $annuls remind
a Wingharnite of a charming day in
early .Time. The evenings are cool,
and as little fire is comfortable. As
fol snow, we see it on the distant
meuutalps, or by going up Mt. Lowe,
snowballing May sometimes be indul-
ged f u as a pastime. It is possible to
snowball on Mt, Lowe, pluck or-
aes and rime a g o es fn Pasadena, and
bathe in the warm. waters of the Pada
fie octan, all in one day, between sun-
rise and sunset, Pasadena's latitude
is 31 degrees, 8 minutes. As to its
rain fall, the average for 25 years
shows 40 rainy days in the year. Per-
haps we eau best Amy the average
distribution of these, and mean tem-
perature by the following, gathered
from reliable statistics ;—

It is held that in 25 years, ,the tem-
perature has not fallen below 32 de-
grees more than 20 times and not
risen above 100 degrees more than 25
times. January has the coldest days,
yet on New Year's day is the celebrat.
ed Tournament of Roses, a gorgeous
floral parade. In the summer, the
evenings are always cool, and the elty
gets the regular sea breeze during the
day, with the light air currents off
land during the night, These alter-
nating currents keep the air pure.
High winds are rarely felt.
Pasadena's municipal government
consists of a Mayor elected for two
years, who is paid a salary of $1,500
yearly, and seven Councillors elected
for four years ; these are paid $3 a
sitting and the Council meets weekly
on Tuesday, at 9 a.m, There are two
others elected, viz„ the City Clerk,
and the Treasurer -Collector, both
elected for four years. The Council
appoints the Attorney, Auditor and
Assessor (one official), Engineer, Supt.
of streets, Electrician, Electric Supt.,
Building Inspector, Chief of Police,
Chief of Fire Brigade, Health officers,
Board of Health, Sanitary Inspector,
Library Trustees, Supt, of city farm,
city Veterinarian, Police Judge,
The city's assessment is $38,910,170,
and is supposed to be at about 50 per
cent. value. The expenditure last
year was about $959,320. The city
rate was 98c on $100 ; State and Coun-
ty rate $1.43 on the $100, or a total of
$2.31 on the $100 of assessment, or less
than 24 trills. Besides this, there is a
poll tax of $2 on each male over 18 and
under 70. whether property owner or
not, and this goes into the State
School fund. The city has about 150
miles 'of cement sidewalk, and 220
miles of graded streets, with curbed
gutters.
It is considered that the city has a
wonderful prospect for future develop-
ment. But we must close, and in a
future letter will write of its financial,
social, educational, religious and
scenie aspects,

Ladies, Why Not Preserve
Your Youth And Beauty ?
Parisian Sege, the quick acting hair
restorer, is now for sale in Wingham
at the drug store of J. Walton Me-
Kibbon and is sold with a rigid gua-
rantee at 50c a bottle.
Parisian Sage bas an immense sale,
and here are the reasons :
It is safe and harmless.
It cures dandruff in two weeks, by
killing the dandruff germ.,
It stops falling hair.
It promptly stops itching of the
scalp.
It makes the hair soft and luxuri-
ant.
It gives life and beauty to the
hair.
Ib is not sticky or greasy.
It is the daintiest perfumed hair
tonic made. It is the best, the melt
pleasant and invigorating hair dress-
ing made.
Fight shy of the druggist who offers
you a substitute, he is unworthy of•
your confidence.
Big Price For A Horse.
The onortnous figure of $280,000 has
been refused for Bayardo, the eham-
pion English three-year-old, and as
far as turf history goes this is the
reeord offer for a racehorse. It has
been stated that the animal is wanted
for stud purposes, but as Mr, Petrie,
his owner, is a wealthy man, he cares
more for Bayard() than for the money,
big as the oiler was,

That I will be silent when I cannot

side,
That I will not be envious—or no

That I will do my best.
That I will not blame others for my
own mistakes.
That I will cut out grumbling.
That I will not speak 111 of a neigh-
bor, nor liston to those who do.
That if I get the worst of it I will
make the best of it.
That what I can do for myself I will
ask no oke to do for me.
One Hundred Years Old.
One of the oldest men in Ontario
passed away last Friday in the person
of John Hodgins of Kinloss township.
Deceased was in his Hundredth year.
Until within a year or two of his
death, he enjoyed comparatively good
health, being ,more active than many
younger men. IIe leaves a large and
grown up family.
There was a girl in our town,
And she was on the :,q mere ;
She didn't pad, she didn't paint,
Nor wear rats in her hair.
She was her own true little self ;
All through and through, you know ;
She isn't looking for a man—
She got one long ago.
