The Deserted village.
Not a face looks forth from the win
dows now. An air of profound silence
and melancholy broods over the deserted
village. Only few swarthy Mexicans
lounge yonder in front of that old 'dobe,
1azily rolling their cigarettes and eying
the visitors with languid insolence. But
the sun gladdens with its soft splendor,
the breeze steals gently from the bay,
and the ruins of San Diego are covered
with myrtle and roses.
Monterey is the Oldest town in Cali

years before the signing of the Decla-
ration of Independence. Shakespeare
had not completed his plays when the
first Spanish flag f1oated over this little
seaport town. Today it is a curious
jumbling Of the old and the new. Elec-
trio cars pass before quaint, tottering

shattered with modern paint and gin

In the editorial columns of the STATE
JOURNAL recently appeared this para
graph:
Because a man favors silver as a
part of the money of final redemption,
it does not follow that he wants to handle
it. He prefers paper to silver just the
same as he prefers paper to gold. All
he cares for is to know that the paper
can be exchanged for one or the other
metals, if such an exchange should be-
come desirable:
The Eureka Herald, in commenting on
the above, remarks that paper can now
be exchanged for one or the other of the
metals, without a particle of trouble.
This would be very satisfactory state
of affairs as far as it goes if it were true,
but unfortunately for the country and
the Herald's position it is not The
secretary of the treasury absolutely re-
fuses to pay out silver in redemption Of
any kind of paper currency, even when
demanded, except silver certificates.
There is not gold enough in the entire
country to redeem the other forms of pa
per currency if presented, and there is
not enough in the treasury to more than
make a beginning. The Herald then
goes on to say that opponents of free
coinage of silver fear that if adopted it
would be impossible to exchange paper
for one or the other of the metals. The
force of this idea is certainly obscure.
1t will appear to the ordinary observer
that the more metallic money there is
the easier it will be to make the ex-
change, and the less desire there is like
ly to be to do so.

beauty, culture and luxury. Imagine a
park of 1875 acres, sloping to the ocean,
filed with royal pines and tropical
palms. To the tops of many of the
lOftiest trees climbs and winds the Eng
lish ivy, making in effect huge tower
ing obelisks of the sleek, shining leafed
vine. Then throw in all the rare flower
ing plants Of countries south of the
equator-of South America and the
Cape of Good Hope, of Australia, of all
the faraway countries and islands under
the Southern Cross-add an inextricable
maze of roses, geraniums, fuchsias.

from every state in the Union, foun-
tains, lakes, bowers, velvet lawns and
sweeping walks and drives-even then
the imagination cannot conceive the per-
lection of Del Monte.
A Fine Drive.
But the attractions par excellence of
Del Monte are the II mile drive through
this park; the adjoining forests; the
world famous cypress groves, where in
these somber, mysterious, wide spread
ing trees you behold, according to sci
next to the cedars of Lebanon; along
the beach where the surf plays the mad
dest and merriest Of pranks over the
piles of loosely heaped up rocks; on the
very edge of lofty cliffs dashed by the
furious and noisy ocean; through the
quaint Chinese fishing villages, where
the almond eyed people offer shells, sea-
weed and sea urchins for sale; past the
great rocks where hundreds of seals
slumber and bark in turn; past open
fields dotted with pretty cottages ;
through canyons as winding as a laby-
riDth. Ever sound the boom OF the surf
and the signing Of the pines, Flowers,
flowers in all directions. Trees meet
above you. The air, this wonderful, this
languorous, caressing, seductive air,
woOes you. 1t is enough to be alive.
1t is all over too soon. Down the
white road toward the blue bay you go.
Far. vague and dim the mountains
swim. Yonder lies that enchanted gar
Ten of Del Monte. Far away CLEAN the
terraces and houses of Santa Cruz, and
on that emerald hill yonder near the
crumbling Notifications of the old pre-
sidio, rises the noble monument erected
! by Mrs. Leland Stanford to the memory
of Father Junipero Sierra. Clear and
white it glitters in the rays of the July
noontide sun, beacon, a worthy sym
boil, of the glorious, the historic past.
And thus in this lovely Mediterranean
region of the great west the old and the
new are mingled. Associations and
memories are intwined with the influ-
ences and environments of today. In old
Monterey and in new Del Monte the past
and the present have met and have kissed
each other.

the sight of the noble blue Pacific with
it's long line of tumbling breakers, the
glimpses of orange and lemon groves,
the gardens, the gay winter villas, form
an ensemble like fashlight peep into
fairy land. And when one arrives at
Coronado Beach, where all the beauties
and attractions are concentrated and
sublinated and apotheosized, one fancies
he has rubbed Aladdin's lamp indeed.
San Diego itself is dreamy city Of
Mediterranean color and atmosphere. It
dips down to the edge of the marvellous
1y beautiful bay Of it's own name. The
wide stretching mountains guard one
side; on the other rolls the ocean, and
running far out into it's restless pillows
lies a crescent shaped peninsula-fair
Coronado Beach.
Here, in a wilderness of palms, huge
cactuses and tropical flowers and plants,
with the ever booming. laundering surf
rolling to its very doors, stands the mag
nificent Del Coronado. It is built in
Spanish fashion round patio, or quad
triangular court, more than an acre in
extent. One of the features of the place
is a glass covered veranda facing the
west and commanding a view Of the
ocean and the peaks of the Coronado is
lands. Here you may sit and dream and
drive all your phantoms back into their
graves. Care and worry and regret take
wings and fly away, and the unfathom-
able sea breaks at your feet and sends
its foam up to kiss your tired eyes.

which in plain Yankee means Aunt

lists After the short railroad ride comes
a walk or drive, and one is soon sur
rounded with Mexican curios and sol

to Oldtown and up the Mission valley.
Here are the ruins Of the Oldest mission
in California, founded in 1869, and of
the old preside, where military force
of 10 soldiers with few arms and cannon
were quartered for the protection of the
pueblo against Indian uprisings.
Here, too, is the long, low, ruined
adobe in which the gentle Ramona, the
heroine of Helen Hunts novel, is said
to have lived while waiting her wed
ding day, and also the tiny chapel where
Father Gaspara, the fighting priest,
united her to Abessandro. Beside this
chapel, dashed to huge beam, hang the
great bells of the old mission. Strike
them, and they ring as sweet and true
as when Father Junipero Sierra first
blessed them. Old San Diego is pic

MONTEREY, Cal, Aug 25.-Twin shin

Coronado and Del Monte.
Every one whom you meet in this
country directly asks you: "Have you
been to Coronado? Have you been to
Monterey? Which do you think the more
beautiful Now that have seen both

San Diego County.
Coronado Beach is in San Diego coun-
ty, the most southerly of the state,
which extends back from the Pacific
ocean. to the vast Colorado river, and
whose elevation ranges from 300 below
to 10, 900 feet above sea level, thus af-
fording every grade of climate and soil
There are three distinct belts in this
county, beginning at the coast and ex-
tending back into the desert region.
From the coast line, 70 miles in length,
back to the hill country, a distance of
80 or 40 miles, are low valleys, with
intervening mesas and hills, where the
ocean breezes play and citrus fruits are
raised Then comes the mountainous
belt, where minerals are found and de-
ciduous fruits are grown. The climate
here is bracing and health giving, with
an occasional furry of snow in winter
The third division is the desert. In this
county are wonderful irrigation systems.
The great Sweetwater system cost ST.
600, COO, and the reservoir has a capac-
ity of 5000, 600, 900 gallons, sufficient
to irrigate so, 900 acres of land. This is
the land Of the lemon and orange. In
the neighborhood Of the great sapphire
bay of San Diego there are t5O, 900
acres of frostless lemon land. 1t is a
