TOURIST TRAVEL.
About 1890 Visitors Are Now
Coming Weekly.
THEIR IMPRESSIONS HEI
List of the Excursions that are
to be Run to Los Angeles
this Season.


Angeles at the rate of about l, 800 week
and the advices show that this influx is
likely to continue for about the next two
months at least. As has been pointed
out before in the HERALD, a large pro-
portion of this travel comes by the
regular trains in spite of the mary ex-
cursion coaches which are coming in this
direction in an almost unbroken process
sion. 1t is we'll to note that most of the
visitors are OF very desirable element,
being traders, agriculturists, mer-
chants and other business men
who are interested by what they
have heard OF the many advan-
tages here, have decided to come and
inspect for themselves. The result of
this is very satisfactory. Interviews
with the visitors show that Los Angeles
and the surrounding country has fully
answered their expectations, and there
is not the slightest doubt that the out
come will be swarming into this coun-
try of settlers such as has not been wit
messed before in the history Of Southern
California. Last year many came for
speculative purposes, and having made a
few thousand dollars on the advance of
property left for "pastures new," but this
year the visitors come with different
purpose-they come to see if the country
is suitable for them to establish homes.
Of course as sanitarium, Los Angeles
attracts good many of the wealthy
classes of the East who come simply to
pass the winter. as they do not care to
break up their homesteads on the
Atlantic Coast. This however is quite
satisfactory, as the hotel-keepers reap a
golden harvest thereby and the traders
and citizens at large are equally favor
ably affected. The fact that the
yellow fever has not entirely dis
appeared from Florida will almost
entirely stop the tourist travel in
that direction this fall, and, therefore,
those who prefer to pass the winter
months in their own country to crossing
the ocean and wandering about among
strangers in Europe, will visit California,
and when they have once come they will
come again. Messrs. Raymond & Whit
comb, who handle large portion Of the
frst-class tourist business from the East
to this Coast, report that so far there has
travel as compared with last fall, and
will be increased rather than diminished.
The following list of excursions that will
leave the East for Los Angeles during the

interest:
