The first great reason is Pimply that in mid•summer we have ria,ny small lois of good
:goods that wouldn't be good merchandise if we allowed them to stay here till next season and
it is the same with manufactures and wholesalers. They must clear away odd lots at this @ea.

The greatest pride of San Francisco
is undoubtedly Golden Gate Park. It
has an area of 1000 acres, gleen over to
beautiful lawne streets, drives, lakes,
conaervatory, museum, buffalo and
deer paddocks, children's playgrounds,
grandstandand aeditorium, baseball
ground?, tennis grounds and bicycle
paths; aviary, &c. . •
Sutro Heights is one of the best
known attractions of the city. They
belong to ex -Mayor Sutro,but are open
to the public as long as the regulations
are observed. The statuary, flowers
and walks are inegnificent, and constit-
ute one of the fairest sights it was ever

We left San raflctiaco on the evening
of July 20.h a arrived in Seattle on
the 22nd. The est interesting pointon
the route was -, .unt Shasta, which re-
mained in sight r the greater part Of
the day, first on o e side of the train,
then on the othe RS we wound our
way through the ht Is. At the far-fam-
ed Shasta springs a 13 op of ten Minu.es

An N. P. boat I roue Se t tie landed us
in Victoria and on Canad u soil. Can-

felt the better for it.
Victoria, the capital of Britis Col.
melee, and the most important oft
north of San Francisco, is situate on
Vancouver Island. It overlooks t e
straits of Fuca, across which may
had a'y iew of the Olympian Range,
While to the east Mt. Baker is conspic-
uous with his snow-capped top.. From
Beacon Hill Park a fine view of the
waters and mountains on all sides is
obtained, but the park has it beauty of
its owa that is rarely excelled ' Small
lakes nestle like pearls among the for -
este of the park, lakes clear as crystal,
where birds "float double, swan .and
.shitacivr" sparkling steeareis are to he
seen 01 every hand, while wild flowers
andetlents are scattered rouria in rich
profusion. The Government buildings
of Victoria rank among the finest in
the continent. They cost $1,000,000
and are a striking piece of architectur-
al skill and design.

While travelling from Thompson's

The reverbations, the echoes RS they
