Notes Of Travel.
Gleaned On A Transcontinental
Trip, By The Editor.
LETTER No, 10.
In last week's letter, we spoke of the
early history, choice location, growth,
and climatic conditions of Pasadena.
There are other features worth noting,
and the observer who sojourns hero
awhile wonders not at the laudation
the city receives. Possibly the famous
floral parade of New Yeat•'e Day has
done much to spread the fame of the
city far and near. The Easterner can
scarce believe that while the East and
Middle West are staggering beneath a
weight of snow, and fighting icy
blizzards, that Pasadena is in the exa
citenzent of sub a floral display as to
almost baffle the imagination.
The writer has not yet grown weary
of the mountain scenery. On the
north, Mb, Lowe and Mt. Wilson look
as if they were on the next street al-
most, but they are five miles distant,
and their tints and shadows, and rain-
bow settings are a picture to the lover
of Nature. Beyond these mountains
is Old Baldie rising still higher with.
its snow-capped crown. If the tourist
should tire of these, he has but to look
to the right or left, and see the or-
ange -laden trees, the stately mansion,
the beautiful bungalow home, the
rose -covered cottage, or wander
• through the streets arebed with pep-
per trees, or saunter in the parks,
amid the shade of acacia, camphor, or
live oak trees, and almost tropical
plants and flowers, But we must not
linger longer here, except 'to say that
there is no season of the year in Pasa-
dena, when vegetation dies down, It
is an evergreen city, for the citrus
trees (orange and lepton) the live oaks,
the camphor, the acacia, the pepper
and scores of other trees are ever-
greens. Many of these such as the
acacia are beautiful flowering trees,
and of the acacia there are many dif-
ferent kinds ; when in flower, tliey are
a mass of fragrant bloom.
Much is claimed for Pasadena and
many statements have been made con-
cerning its admirable location and at-
traction ; nor can we say that these
have been 'over-estimated, for it ap-
pears to be an exceedingly desirable
place to reside in. It is "Pasadena the
Beautiful" because of its incomparable
location and its wealth of vegetation.
It is "Pasadena the Clean" because of
the high culture and moral tone of its
people, and because of the absence of
the saloon and things' that pertain to
that element. It is said too, that this
city excels other cities in the total
absence of graft in public affairs. It
is called "Pasadena the Healthy" be-
cause of its cleanliness, and its health-
ful climate, which appears to be as
nearly perfect as it is possible to find
on this planet. "Pasadena the Com-
fortable" has been given to it because
of the pleasure and enjoyment of life
here. "Pasadena the Prosperous" is
another name attached to it. It ap-
pears to make good along all these
lines, and we think from careful obser-
vation, it is entitled to all that is
claimed for it.
This city has three great transcon-
tinental railway lines—the Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe, the Southern
Pacific, and the San Pedro & Salt
Lake railways. These furnish excel•
lent transportation facilities in every
direction. The urban and suburban
electric car service is the very best.
There are over twelve miles of electric
car service in the city, and four dis-
tinct car routes (all double track) be-
tween Pasadena and Los Angeles,
with service every five minutes. Be-
sides this, the Pacific Electric reaches
over fifty cities is Southern Cali-
fornia; its rates are reasonable, ac-
commodation excellent, prompt and
safe service.
Pasadena covers an area of about
twelve square miles ; it has 150 miles
of streets and lanes. There are two
telephone systems, and two electric
light systems; one of the latter is
municipally -owned, the other by a
Company. The competition thus
engendered gives the city the best and
cheapest electric light service in .the
United States. The rate charged is
5c per kilowatt, or half the rate in
Wingham, and the service is con-
tinuous and excellent, This is certain
ly an argument in favor of municipal
ownership.
Pasadena has two excellent news.
papery, both evening papers ; the Los
Angeles morning papers circulate
largely ge y In the city also. Two promin-
ent factors in the City's development
are the Hoard of Trade and the Mer-
chants' Association, These organiz-
ations have rooms on the main busi-
ness street, and trim to give all infor-
mAion
t desired. .At the annual Ban-
quet of the Merchants' Association,
one of the speakers, Rev. Dr. Ileghes,
pastor of First Methodist Church,
commented on the nim of the Assooi-
ation as announced on the program of
the evening. Here it. is :—
"Pasadena
..."Pasadena Merchants' Associa-
tion aims to promote the general
welfare of the merchants of the
city, the development of the honte
commerce of Pasadena and envir-
ons. By cooperation, it aspires
to build e. city that shalt be
"Morally clean,"
"Oonitnet'ciailly strong,'"
t "And oivieally sound." •
Otu, renders will eertaalnly approve
Of thbt platform.
The social life of Pasadena is appar.
ently choice, as one would expect from
the high culture of its inhabitants.
Clubs and other organizations aid in
this phase of its development.
The city le well supplied with
churches and the pastors appear to be
able and earnest in their Mere, Part -

nary Anterluan eity, as will be even
front the followidg quotation from
Rev. W. iliacOorwack, D. D., Dean
Pro Cathedral : —
"The absence of the saloon, the
purity of the home, the high char-
acter of our public 'nen, are possi-
ble beeause deep downin the con.
Belolasriess .nf our people, the re-
ligious quality itis hreome lir fixed
and permanent element,"
The city has thirty-nine Churches of
different denominations. Within a
few f blocks of as as we write, are—the
First Methodist Episcopal Church,
Rev. De. Hughes pastor, salary $0000,
with assistant pastor, salary $1,200,
and a Deaconess. The Presbyterian
church also close at hand, pastor Rev.
Dr. McLeod, salary $0,500, with six
months' vaoation ; he has refused $10,.
000 in an eastern city. The church
cost $200,000 we are informed. Only
one block front this is the United Pres-
byteriap church, and Clear at hand are
the Episcopal (Anglican), Baptist, Con-
gregational, 'Christian,
on-gregational,'Christian, and others all
contiguous to the business section.
The Church of Christ (Christian Scien.
tiste) are building a magnificent tem-
ple costing a quarter of million dol-
lars. It has been in progress a year,
and will take another six months to
complete. It is one of the finest
church structures in the West, and
what is notable is the fact that every
dollar of its cost was in the Bank be-
fore the first spadeful of earth was re-
moved for the foundation. Pasadena
has a comparatively small foreign
population, as these generally drift to
Los Angeles,
Before we close this letter we must
refer to the Educational advantages
of Pasadena. As might be expected
these advantages are numerous and
appreciated. There are the three
grades of schools—the Kindergarten,
the Grammar (Public) School, and the
High School. There are nine Kinder-
garten centers, and the school enrol-
ment of the city is about 5,000. Five
years ago, a new High School was
built at a cost of over $80,000; it is
now too small and the classes have to
be taught at different times through-
out the day, hence pupils may be seen
on their way to school before eight
a. m. The teaching staff of the city
embraces 20 Kindergarten teachers,
11 specials, 102 primary and grammar,
28 High School teachers, a total of 161.
Bonds amounting to $150,000 have re-
cently been voted to extend the public
school system. There are also many
private academies, and a Classical
school for boys, also one for girls.
Throop Polytechnic Institute offers
training of exceptional merit. It was
founded by Amos Throop seventeen
years ago, and gives training on man-
ual and technical lines in addition to
the academy and college. It is now
compelled to enlarge its bounds, and
a 20 -acre campus has been purchased
and a very fine building is'in course of
erection.
Another feature of Pasadena's intel-
lectual standing is her magnificent
Public Library. The city erected a
large and handsome stone building
specially adapted for Library purpos-
es. It is situated in the beautiful "Li-
brary Park" and has 30,000 volumes,
with reading rooms for Hien, women
and children. The system is excel-
lent and service remarkably prompt
and satisfactory.
In our next letter we shall refer to
a few of the many attractions to be
seen in and around this beautiful city.
