Why Visit California?


The most pointed and sensible an
of good. Seeking after knowledge.
wealth, health and the many other good
things of life is the spirit of this age,
and one of the most agreeable means to
their attainment is travel. But all good
endeavor, like charity. if possible, should
begin at home.
1t is not the best evidence of good
purpose to attempt its fulfiliment in far
away places. Sir Launfal explored the
whole world In search of the Holy
Grail, only to return after lifetime of
wasted endeayor, broken in body and

and benefits that can be as we'll had In
California, not one whit lacking in
quality, and at less cost? Why 20 to

Geneva without knowing the beauties

Stachelberg or Weissenburg, when
SO much nearer are Bartlett
Springs, Hardin Springs. the Gey-

their cures? Why struggle SO hard to

found quite as genial in California?
Why boast so OF European caravan
saries and watering places, when Del
Monte leads the world in beauty, ele-

crate charges? Why eXclaim in such
amazement at the engineering feats of
PilatuS and st. Gotthard, when equally
difficult feats have been achieved over
the SlerraS, and through the SiskiyouS
by the Southern Pacific Company?
These significant questions have been
all answered in the true patriotic way
