MONTERREY.
Sunday the 22d of May was spent at
CALIFORNIA; celebrated seaside resort,
Monterey. The grounds here excel in
beauty the grounds at Coronado, but the
Hotel del Monte can hardly compare
with Coronado. However, it was largely
a matter of opinion, some concluding it
was even better than the Coronado. A
trip to California is not complete with
out a visit to Monterey.
From Monterey we went to San Jose,
another beautiful inland city in the
famous
SANTA CLARA VALLEY,
and a great winter resort. 1t was here
that Mrs. Booker, wife of North Da-
kota's popular treasurer, spent the
winter. At Pasadena 1 found the foot
prints of Or. and Mrs. Bentley of Bis
marck, and at Los Angeles, Captain Nc
Cormack and Alex. Griggs of Grand
Forks, and MI. and Mrs. Jud LaMoure
of Pembina spent a portion of the winter.
San Jose is a busy as well as a pretty
place, and growing steadily. San Jose
has a population of $4,000 people. 1t has
broad streets, fine business blocks and
modern residences. 1t has 1OS miles of
macadamized streets, and a complete
system of electric street cars. Near San
Jose is the famous Lick observatory, on
the top of Mt. Hamilton which lifts it's
head 4,443 feet. This temple of science
was the gift of James Lick, a millionaire
resident of San Jose, who left $4,000 900
for charitable and educational %institu-
tions, $4,000 being set apart for this
observatory, which contains the largest
glass in the world, thirty-six inches in
diameter.
On the way from San Jose to San
Francisco a stop of an hour was made at
Palo Alto, and an opportunity offered to
visit the
Ella STANFORD UNIVERSITY
and the famous stock farm, where Palo
Alto, Sunol, STEAMBOAT, and other high
priced trotters we're raised. The uni
versity is endowed by Mr.. and Mrs
Leland Stanford, with lands, money,
gifts, libraries, museums, etc., in memory,
of their son, to the extent of S2O,OOO,OOO
1t is a vast institution, being built on a
large scale. The buildings present a
facade of half a mile on four sides of a
central court or QUADRANGLE, forming q
continuous arcade of stone eighteen feet
high, twenty feet deep, LOO feet long,
Dormatories are 800 fest by $50, foul
stories high. The architecture is
Moorish, the roofs are tiled and the
institution presents a strange yet pleas
ing appearance. A SOL of ex-Lieutenant
Governor Dickie of jamestown, is at.
tending this university.
