LiiDe IDe houses ana the SulpPlnS sccuts
of the harbor at Avalon are readily seen.
Los Angeles, probably the most attrac-
tive city of It's size in the Union, as well
as one OF the most active and enterpris-
ing, is ten miles distant. To the imme-
diate south west the traveller beholds
series of the Eaton Canon. The slopes
OF these canons are all covered with line
forest growth, and will be made- accessS
bic through systematic extension ON
riding trails III all directions, converting
them into mountain parks. The roar OF
the rushing water falls of the upper San
Gabriel River constitutes an appropriate
deep basso to the signing of the whis-
pering needle forests. To the seast rise
the Alpine SUBMITS of san Antonio
and Sln Bern lr,!InD Mountains; san r
Jac!uto, chief slan Is III ,rk Of San Diego
County, also looms into view. These
well nigh uurivaled natural attractions
are however, more than matched i'll I'M
portance with the exceptional scientl
value attached to the climate and
eral atmospheric conditions. IF
latter are as permanent and superior
the former are graudly imposing in
literal sense of that term. However,
enlargement on the Importance attach
to the situation from scientific stan-
point can equal the simple announce
msnt, that the president 0! Harvard, NJ
Prof Eliot, visited the scene in person. \
With comprehensive knowledge OF all
the requirements for astronomical o5ser-
vations, he pronounced the Sierra Madre
SUBMITS the peer of any known III the
world for such purposes.
