Notes Of Travel. Gleaned On A Transcontinental Trip, By The Editor. LETTER NO. 15. THE WINGHAM ADVANCE green) trees, and orange groves. At one turn of the road may be seen one or the Most attractive views of the prettiest part of the San Gabriel Val- ley. As the car emerges from a email canyon, the valley lies spread out be- fore the tourist, with its scores of orange groves and live oaks, back - grounded with the tall eucalyptus trees, while here and there are seen the handsome homes glistening white through the orange trees, laden with their golden fruit. Soon we have made a cirole and are once more at Oneonta Junction, where we are switched on to another line, and pass- ing Daigeville and through the pretty city of Altiambra, we arrive at San Gabriel Mission, founded in 1771 by the Franciscan Fathers. (We referred to this in a previous letter), Here too is the enormous grape vine, with It stem over eight feet in circumference. Now we are rushed back to South Pasadena, and soon stop at the Ostrich farm, where half an hour is spent watching these ungainly -looking, but interesting birds. This attraction having been enjoyed, the car is headed for Los Angeles, and after passing Oc- cidental College (Presbyterian) and other places of interest, we once more reach the busy city about noon, hav- ing made a complete circle, and at once commence the second part of the trip. We now turn southward, and for some time travel at too high a rate of speed to allow the guide to do much talking, and on an excellent road -bed, with (in some places) five miles with- out a curve, a speed of a mile a minute is reached, and we soon pass Watts, Compton, and Dominguez, the scene of the last battle between the Mexi- cans and Americans, and here too is the Aviation field from which the air- ship contests took place a few weeks previous to date. In a little while we reach Naples, on the Pacific, where $3,000,000 is being spent building a city on the sands. A fine hotel has been erected, and the lagoons banked and cemented so as to form streets, or rather canals instead of streets. A r(umber of fine residences are already erected, and gasoline launches and gondolas ply the lagoons. Here din- ner is enjoyed and then the tourists are given a ride on a gasoline boat across the lagoon to the beach, where they find their car awaiting thein. A. few miles ride along the beach of the great Pacific ocean, brings us to the city of Long Beach, where a stay of two hours is made for the visitors to enjoy the sights. ATTRACTIVE POINTS. Rev. Dr. Dwight Hillis, successor to Henry Ward Beecher, once visited California on his vacation. He had visited Europe, seen the Alps, the Swiss valleys, and basked under Ital- ian skies, yet he says of this delightful climate "I was so enchanted that it seem- ed to me to be perilous for any man who lives in New York or Boston, to spend a month in Sou- thern California. Any man who has lived on ambrosia and the nec- tar of the gods, will find it difficult ever after to be happy on corn bread and bacon, not to say beans." Dr. Hillis is not the only one to be enchanted, and few indeed are there from the east, who are not delighted and surprised. Even the climate is on a big scale, and the tourist as he journeys westward must be prepared for big things. The eastern prairies, now turned into Illinois and Kansas cornfields, are big ; the immense cattle ranges of New Mexico, the vast stret- ches of desert in Arizona and Colora- do are all on a big scale. The petrified forests are "big" with thoughts of past ages, and when the tourist reach- es the Grand Canyon, and looks down 7000 feet and across 22 miles ofdomes and rocky temples, he realizes how really "big" these things are. And when after crossing further miles and miles of barren wastes and over moun- tains towering away above him, and baker comes to where the hand of man has brought water into contact With the soil, and gets his first glimpse of orange orchards, pomels and lemon groves glittering with the golden fruit, he finds himself in a new, "big" world full of wonders still. Right here he may see grape vines whose trunks are over eight feet in circumference, re- quiring 60 posts to hold them up and bearing from ten to fifteen tons of grapes. Go farther north and you will be shown a potato field of several thousand acres, that required for the moving of its crop, seven carloads a day, for 365 days. Go farther still and you may stand among the giant trees of California. One of these is 300 feet high or 15 feet higher than the Ma- sonic Temple in Chicago. Another has had the inside at the bottom of the trunk burnt out without killing the tree, and herein twenty horses can be stabled. Another, now fallen with' age, is also a. wonder, for upon its trunk can be driven a six -horse stage with 16 passengers. Another, possibly the largest, is 400 feet high, 109 feet in circumference, about 33 feet in diame- ter, and contains (it is estimated) three million feet of lumber. "Big" things, indeed ! Here is where they are found. From Pasadena or Los Angeles. a number of sight-seeing trips may be made at little cost. For instance, very few tourists fail to take "Tilton's Trolley Trip" or 100 miles for 100 cts.," giving as indicated 100 miles of a cir- cuit, with free admission to the San Gabriel mission, and also to the Os- trich farm. The cars start from the business centre of Los Angeles at 9 a. m., taking the Pasadena track and showing the tourists the busiest streets of Los Angeles, then passing through the suburbs, passing Bungalow town, Sierra Vista and one or two of the parks. At Oneonta; a junction point of electric roads, another suburb is springing up and building lots are held at from $3000 upward. Soon, South Pasadena is reached and then the hotel Raymend with its beaptiful floral gardens and golf grounds. A few moments later Central Park, Pasa- dena, and Hotel Green are passed, and the car turns on to Colorado Street, the main bustness street of Pasadena. An obliging guide accompanies each ear and calls attention to the points of interest as they are passed. On Colo- rado street, attention is called to the Chamber of Commerce, the Methodist church, Marengo Ave. shaded ..with pepper trees, Hotel Maryland, the magnificent Presbyterian church, 14,1t. Lowe and its Inclined railway, Mt. Wilson and theObservatory. Then the car turns southward down Lake Ave„ and soon the Charming suburb of Oak Knoll is reached, This it one of the prettiest spots in Southern Cali- fornia, with it* beautiful 'Week, Ira fine reu►i(lenors, its Live Oak (ems dub, The Long Fin from 80 to 100 pounds; the Yellow Pin, up to 80 lbs. ; 'he Leaping Tuna up to 1,000 pounds, besides sea base and scores of others.. We saw one monster bass, cauaght by a lady and landed after a very long fight; it weighed 410 pounds, and we measured its length, nearly seven feet, There le some fun landing a fish like that. Occasionally whales are seen on the short trip from the Mainland over to Catalina Island, In the Chamber of Commerce, Long Beach, is the skeleton of one that being wounded, waswashed in by the tide, and when the tide ebbed, it was left stranded on the sand. The jaw -bone measures 10 feet in length, and the whole skeleton 81 -feet. When alive, it weighed 48 tons. Possibly, the greatest attraction of Catalina Ieland are the Marine GardenH, To see these, you engage a boatman with his glass -bottomed boat, Then as ynu float over these aquatic gardens, you. may see plants, fishes of all shapes and sizes, "sea stars" that shine out from the shadows of the rocks, foliage like branches bearing clusters of fruit,. or it may be some monster fish that having wandered into shallower water, is hastening back to the un- known depths. Long Beach takes considerable pride in its harbor, and is doing all it can to develop its six miles of water frontage to a depth of 25 or 30 feet, The city has voted $250,000 for municipal whar- ves, in order to make it the first and only city on the Pacific, able to offer a free or "open" port to the commerce of the world. At 4 p.m. we again board our car, and a swift ride of 22 miles brings us to Los Angeles again, We are landed in the Electric Station, from whence cars leave for Pasadena every few minutes, and soon the day's enjoyable outing with Tilton is over. No one should miss this 100 miles for $1.00. There is another of these trips at the same price, which we shall refer to later. Long Beach is a pretty and progres- sive seaside resort, containing about 20,000 inhabitants. The city is an ele- vated plateau about 60 feet above the level of the Pacific, on which it fronts. The hills on the west shelter it from the winds, and the heat of summer is tempered by the ocean and trade winds which prevail through the warm months ; as a result, the climate is one of the most delightful. The city takes its name from the long sweep of ocean beach, that stretches in the form of a crescent for about twelve miles, and the slope is so gradual and safe that thousands bathe in the salt waters daily. The city is connected with all the surrounding places by electric railway. The road from Los Angeles to Long Beach is one of the finest pieces of electric roadway on the continent, double - tracked and safe. Between Los An- geles and Long Beach, the soil seems impregnated with alkali to some ex- tent, but farming is carried on, We noticed farmers plowing with six horses and harrowing with four, the driver standing on the barrow. The inhabitants of Long Beach take great pride in their neat, clean city. Here is what they say of it :— "The prohibition city that has done and is doing things. The city that ,in its infancy built a hundred thousand dollar pleasure pier, and erected on it a $30,000 auditorium • that raised by sub- scription 537,000 for a Y.M.C.A. building ; that in a few days raise ed $100,000 for a ship -building plant; that financed a million dol., lar tourist hotel." This is all true, for here are all these substantial things in sight. The broad pier stretches half -a -mile out in- to the ocean, and is doubled decked. The pavilion on it will accommodate 6000 people, and at the ocean end is a sun parlor. Upon this pier as wide as a street, you may walk, sit or fish ; you may look out upon the great Pacific, and watch the incoming or receding tides, and see hundreds in their suits bathing in the ocean or sunning themselves upon the clean sandy beach. If you do not care to go into the ocean, you may go to the im- mense bathing pavilion with its 1000 rooms, and plunge into an immense pool containing half a million gallons of salt water of any depth you may choose; this bath -house cost $125,000. Or you may walk the "Pike" and choose your amusement from the merry-go•round`or roller coaster, etc., etc. If it be night, you may stroll along the "Walk of the Thousand Lights," constructed of stone and iron, for two miles along the beach, and thirty-five feet wide. To the north is San Pedro, the seaport of Los Angeles, aeon to be visited by steamers of the Grand Trtink Pacific from Port Ru - port, and steamers from the Atlantic, via the. Panama Canal, Long Beach has a fine public (Carnegie) Library and park, and is a delightful residence city. Out in the ocean (if the day is clear) at a distance of nearly 80 miles,Cata- lina island may be seen, and an ocean voyage thither may be of interest. The island is about 22 miles long, Varying in width fronts one•half to five n aln range mites. 15 is reallya pian t $ In miniature, and nestling in a pretty little bay is the popular resort of Avalon.

Pain in Heart "Tor two years I had pain in my heart, back and left side. Could not draw a deep breath or lie on left side, and any little exertion would cause palpita- tion. Udder advice I took Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy and Nervine. I took about thirteen bottles, alp in better health than I ever was, and have gained 14 pounds." MRS. LILLIE THOMAS, Upper Sandusky, Ohio. For many years Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy has been very successful in the treatment of heart troubles, because of its tonic effect upon the heart nerves and muscles. Even .in. severe cases of long standing it has frequently prolonged life for lnanry years after doctors had given up all hope, as proven by thousands of letters we have re- ceived from grateful people.
