Notes Of Travel.
Gleaned On A Transcontinental
Trip, By The Editor.
LETTER NO. 20.
One of the most pleasurable day's
outing oumany
a tourist may talcs of
from Los Angeles, is what is called.
the Balloon. Route Trolley Trip under
the management of 0, M. Pierce.
With each car there is a special guide
wlio points out and comments on the
scenes along the route. These guides
are chosen for their good -nature and
aptitude to entertain, and give much
information not easily gained from
other sources. Our guide was known
by the name of Don, and he certainly
did his duty to his passengers, who
unanimously pronounced him a capital
conductor and guide.
Leaving Los Angeles at 9 a.m. the
first part of the trip lies through the
northwestern part of the city, and
before we enter the suburbs, pass
through two tunnels one 512 feet, the
other 0i8 feet in length. Soon we
reach pretty Sunset Boulevard, eross-
ing Vermont Avenue, the longest
avenue in the city, reaching from the
mountains to the ocean, a distance of
26 miles, The town of Hollywood is
soon reached, a very pretty place in-
deed, 'with artistic residences and
floral grounds. It is now part of the
city, having been annexed to Los An-
geles recently. Olive and fig orchards
along with the neatly kept gardens
and lawns, give this part of the city a
beautiful appearance. Then the scene
changes, and we pass near the oil
fields, where derricks are in evidence,
and the black fluid abounds. We
passed one large tract laid out with
fine drives, intended for high class
residences, but the discovery of oil on
one of the lots prevented the carrying
out of the plan, although much money
had been spent thereon, Soon we
reach, the "Soldiers' Home" at Saw-
telle, where we spend nearly an hour,
very pleasantly. There -are ten of
these Homes in the United States,
but this has the most extensive
grounds, comprising 700 acres, beauti-
fully laid out with gravel walks, flow-
er beds, recreation grounds, etc.
There are in all 45 buildings, includ-
ing large barracks, dining hall, libra-
ry, hospital, chapel, theatre, post -
office, etc.
There are 3,700 veterans of the Civil
and Spanish wars enrolled here,
though some of them are out on fur-
lough. They are well cared for,' and
the Government spends $100,000 year-
ly to entertain them, by giving plays
in the theatre once a week, and Band
concerts much oftener, There, is a
Hospital in which the poor wounded
and sick are cared for. The veterans
of the Civil war are aged, and the
death rate averages one per day.
This is a most delightful place, and
the "boys in blue" now old and gray,
seem to enjoy themselves as they des-
cend the hill of life. As we passed
through the dining -room, we caught
a glimpse of the kitchen, where a big
force of cooks were preparing dinner ;
the bread is baked by machine, and
300 Ioaves a day are required. As we
passed out of the grounds, a carload of
caskets came in, emphasizing the fact,
that the veterans are passing.
But we are again on board our car
trollying rapidly towards the ocean.
Soon we reach Port Los Angeles,
which has the longest wharf in the
world, and the cars run out to the
end of it. This was built by the
Southern Pacific R'y, but when San
Pedro was chosen as the Government
harbor, Port I.os Angeles fell Ito
pieces, and San Pedro became the part
of the city of Lee Angeles and is now
annexed. The wharf has been pur-
chased by the Electric Railway Co.
Here our guide points out Point Mal-
labieu, the projection of a ranch of
33,000 acres, of which 19,000 acres was
planted in Lima beans, most of the
rest being mountain land.
Our next place of call on the ocean
shore was Santa Monica, •a pretty
beach resort of about 16,000 popula-
tion, with the customary tourist visi-
tors. A few miles farther brings us
to another beach resort known as
Ocean Park, where the passengers are
given (free of charge) a ride on the
roller coaster. As they are rushed
and whirled at high speed along its
windings, their peals of laughter indi-
cate the fun they are having out of
the ride.
Again we are on the trolley, and in
a few lninutes reach another beach,
known as Venice, but our stay here is
delayed until our return. At Playa-
del -hey beach, we stay one hot& for
dinner, and hi a spacious dining room
overlooking the Pacific, we satisfy our
hunger, while watching the'ineoming
tide.
At the end of the hear, WO are on
board again. A short stop is made at
Moonstone peach, where the party
scatter to.gather moonstones as they
are washed up by the rising tide.
Soon the call of the guide is heard and
a few miles run along the beach brings
us to Redondo Beach, a rather pretty
place of about 18,000 population. At
all these beaches, there are all sorts of
atnnsements, immense bath-houeee,
eto. The bath.plungo at Redondo
holds 480,000 gallons of vc iter, of all
depths, suited as well for the ohiid of
ate year", as for the expert swimmer
who wishes a deep dive.
Now the borne trip begin®, and we
return the same route only as far as
Venice, where the hour allowed rapid.
ly passes. Isere amusement Ind rec-
reation are the rule. An Italian
Band, a miniature railway, a Scenic
railway, a dancing pavillion, etc., at-
tract the tourists. To the writer, the
Aquarium wasthe attraction. Here
in large glass cases, many different
varieties of fish may be seen in their
native element, while in the centre
pond, a seal enjoys its gambols, Ven-
ice is an attempt to imitate Venice in
Europe, by having its streets made of
canale, of 'which there are here eleven
miles. Five years ago, there was not
a house here ; now Venice boasts a
population of 18,000, It was founded
by Abbott Kinney, who made his
millions in the cigarette business, and
when the Tobacco Trust was formed,
sold his claims for fourteen million
dollars. I3ow so large a place can be
built up in five years is wonderful, but
one of the largest buildings, an im-
mense paviliion, was built and fur-
nished in 28 days. On the wharf is
built a large cafe in the form of a ship
but we did not explore its inside, nor
sample the drinks offered for sale.
On the wharf lay two small specimens
of the shark species, recently caught
in a fisherman's net. The Iargest was
about six feet long.
But the afternoon is waning, and
our car is switched on to the short
line to Los Angeles, and after a rut} of
about nineteen or twenty miles, we
reach the city about five p. m., having
had a delightful day's outing, visited
eight Beaches, breathed the invigorat-
ing air of the Pacitic for several hours,
and travelled for thirty-six miles on
the ocean shore.
This entire trip of nearly one 11un-
Bred miles under Mr. Pierce's manage-
ment may be enjoyed for one hundred
cents, and it is well worth the cost.
If the tourist desires a day among
the orange groves, he may take the
railway trip from Los Angeles or
Pasadena, by way of Pomona to
Riverside and Redlands. We were
favored with a day's trip in this direc-
tion. Leaving Pasadena at 7.50 a. m.
we spent an hour in Pomona, which is
surrounded by a fine citrus section,
and is a large fruit shipping station.
It has a population of about 10,000,
and two daily newspapers. Its name
signifies "goddess of fruit," The city
is growing, but lacks the air of neat-
ness that some other California cities
possess in a very high degree. By
taking another line of railway we
reach Ontario, a city of about 5,000,
time enough to spend an hour there
before our other train passes. This
place was founded by the Chaffee
Bros. of Ontario, Canada ; hence the
name of the city, It is 38 miles east
of Los Angeles, and on its three rail-
ways has 43 passenger trains daily.
There are good schools, churches, pub-
lic library, and plant for electric heat-
ing of residences, power, etc. There
is one fine newspaper here doing a
good business. The section tributary
to Ontario sends out yearly from 2,000
to 3,000 cars of oranges and lemons,
and nearly half a million dollars worth
of deciduous fruits.
The ride through the orange groves
is most delightful. In some places,
the railway cuts right through the
groves, and you can almost pluck the
golden fruit from the car window.
On the day we made this trip, ripe
oranges were on the trees, and at the
same time the trees were in bloom, so
that the car was full of the delightful
fragrance of the orange blossoms.
This ie a peculiarity of the orange,
that it has ripe fruit and (at a curtain
time of the year) abundant blossoms
for the next crop. During the day,
we passed through the midst of thous-
ands of acres, square mileupon squar e
mile of orange, with here andthere
lemon, walnut and apricot orchards.
Not far from Ontario, the railway
cuts through an immense vineyard of
3,500 acres, or over five square miles
in one field of grape vines. Fancy 35
farms of 100 acres each, without a
separating fence or tree, all in grape
vines, andy ou will have some idea of
this vineyard. Near here too, the U.
S. Government has an Experimented
Fruit station,
Another short run brings us to Itiv-
ersido, to which we referred in a pre,
vlous letter. here from one point
you cau look down on 75,000 acres of
oranges, We stay here two hours
and take a car ride of seven miles
down Magnolia Avenue, lined on one
side by palm trees, an the other by
eucalyptus, arid down the center with
pepper trees. Underneath the foliage
of the latter, a beautiful ride of seven
miles to Arlington may be had for ten
cents.
Blit time is flying, and we turn
homewards again, calling at Oolton, a
growing town of 3,500, and having
three transcontinental railways, with
8O trains a day. For a town of this
size advantageously situated, Colton
has the poorest newspapers we have
seen. The town bas doubled in size
the last three years. After a stay
here of a couple of hours, we are once
more on board at 5 p. m, for another
two hours' run through orange groves,
etc,, reaching Pasadena again, a little
after 7 p, rn., having spent a most en-
joyable, if rather wearisome day's tra-
vel, and having visited four cities,
Pomona, Ontario, •Colton and River-
side.
WOMEN'S WOES.
Wingham Women Are Finding Relief
At Last.
It does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and
pains that afflict humanity; they roust
"keep up," must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing -down
pains ; they must stoop over when to
stoop means torture. They must.
walk and bend and work with
racking pains and many aches
from kidney ills. Kidneys canna
more suffering than any other organ
of the body, Keep the kidneys well
and health is easily maintained.
Read of a remedy for kidneys only
that helps and cures the kidneys and
is endorsed by people you know.
Mrs. Runstedler of Leopold St„
Wingham, Ont. says :-"I had suffer-
ed with an attack of pleurisy which
had greatly weakened me. A severe
pain had settled in the region of the
kidneys and extended around my
sides. I could scarcely stoop over and
straighten myself up. Headaches and
spells of dizziness were frequent and
my eyes became weak and painful.
Booth's Kidney Pills were recom-
mended and I tried them. They soon
relieved me, The pains and soreness
left me and the headaches and dizzi-
ness were also quickly relieved. I be-
lieve Booth's Kidney Pills to be an
excellent remedy and shall not hesi-
tate to recommend them," For sale

A Plague 0f Weeds.
The annual Provincial report of the
agricultural societies, just issued, re-
cords the fact that during the past
year the number of societies entered
in the standing field crops competition
had increased 04 per cent. The re-
ports of the judges show that there is
considerable attention being paid by
farmers to securing Metter and purer
seed grain, and also to improved culti-
vation of the land and the eradication
of weeds, The report expresses anxi-
ety over the growth of weeds. "The
alarming rate at which the perennial
sow thistle is spreading over the Pro-
vince," it declares, "calls for strenu-
ous work en the past of farmers in
combating this subtle weed foe. 'Un-
less steps are taken at once to cheek
it, in a very short time it will be
found everywhere."
LA GRIPP'E•
Arrested, and Consumption Cured
Mr. G. D. Colwell, of Walkervillo, Ontario, was stricken down
with La Grippe in. 1006 and it Left him in very bad condition.
Re says: I was all run down and bordering on Consumption.
I could not sleep at nights, had awful sweats, and coughed nearly
the whole time, This is how I was when I began to take
Psycbine, in a low nervous state; but from the first bottle I began
to improve. It did marvels for me and brought me back to health
in no time, making a new man of me. It fortifies the body against
the attacks of La Grippe and is a sure preventative. I always take
Psycbine if I feel a cold coming on and it puts me right in no
tine."
