preparations for handling large tourist
travel during the coming months. On
November 9Th second-class Pullman cars
will be attached to train leaving Los
Angeles every Thursday for Chicago
over the Sunset route and Illinois Cen
tral via New Orleans. This service is
bound to become very popular and will
doubtless attract an increased amount of
passenger traffic.
In connection with the Southern
Pacific service the Pennsylvania rail-
road announces that it will run this sea-
son two personally conducted excursions
the Golden Gate tours OF 1898. The
first will come west via New Orleans and

at :l5 q. m. The party will leave the
special at San Diego, visit different
points in the state and take the train to
San Francisco. 1t will leave San Fran
cisco Monday, April 1st. at 8 a. m.
The second party will be delivered to
the Southern Pacific at Ogden by the
Rio Grsnde railroad and will arrive in
Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 8, at 80
a. No. A visit will be made to Santa
Barbara, San Jose, Del Monte, and then
ethe party will 60 east over the Shasta
route and the Northern Pacific, leaving
San Francisco April 29th.
These are merely the outlines OF the
scheme and come in the shape of pre-.
liminary notice.
THE SAN LUIS oBIsPo EXTENSION.
The Southern Pacific extension in San
Luis Obispo county is being carried
ahead with rapidity. The grading is al
most completed to the town OF Grover,
Is miles north OF the town of San Luis.
AS far as Cormack's rock mine the line
is ready for rails. and south from that
point for many miles the gangs of men
are carrying on the work of grading and
building culverts and bitches. The
masonry of the latter is OF massive de.
scription. The only heavy work between
San Luis and Pismo ia deep cut about
a mile south from Cormack's. 1t is
about 20 feet deep and about 400 feet in
length, and by the time it is completed
the frat 16 miles OF road will be ready
for rails.
At Prices cafion the road turns to the
left, leaving Pislno about half mile to
the left, and then running due south it
reaches its nearest approach to- the
ocean at Grover. The line runs within
a few hundred feet of the breakers, and
at this point depot and 5000 foot switch
are to be built.
At this point grading operations are
being puehed and within six weeks the
road will be completed to this point.
Between Grover and Oceano no work
has yet been done, but it is a candy
plain and couple of weeks will suffice
to prepare the roadbed between the two
points. South from Oceano the grade is
completed for some distance, and if the
present rate of work is kept up traine
will be running into Guadalupe before
the end OF March.
THE CAPIsTRANo GALA DxY.
The officers OF the Southern Oalifor-
MIA road are cooperating with Don
Marco Forster, and others having in
charge the Capstrano celeration, to
make Saturday next gala day to the

usual observance OF the day of San Juan
has, by kind consent of the mission
fathers, been postponed from the 23d

the observances of the day. After the
celebration OF mass the historic old ruin
will be open for inspection, and the val
liable and unique collection OF ancient
manuscripts, relics, etc., will be on
view.
Sports of various kinds will be in or
der, and the vsqueros from the numer-
ous ranches in the neighborhood will
give evidence of their skill in the saddle
with the lariat. Then the grand barbe.
cue be given by the citizens of Capis-
trano will be the bright, particular
feature to most OF those who attend.
Provision is being made for a goodly
number OF people, and there is no fear
of any one going on short rations. A
band will be in attendance, and the en-.
tire programme will be very enjoyable
manner in which to celebrate the OPEN
ing Of the new depot, description OF
which has already been given. The one
fare of $l.80 will be made from Los Ans
geles for a return ticket, and the train
will leave in the morning at :15, reach
