FOR HEALTH AND PLEASURE
Few Regions That Compare With
Southern California
THE MANY GOOD RESORTS
In Mountains, Mid Orchards and on
Seash0re
More Perfect Days During the Year for Out-
Door Life, Winter and Summer,
Than Elsewhere

In the matter of winter resorts there
are but few regions on the face of the
globe that can compare with Southern
California. The many and various
places that can be visited in short
time, using Los Angeles, which itself is
perhaps chief of them all, as base Of
operations. cannot be eXcelled any
where. Almost all degrees of winter
climate may be had, from the warmth
almost heat, of the interior valleys to
the bracing chill of the pure mountain
air that is so beneficial to those afflicted
with nervousness or weakened lungs.
1t is almost impossible to pick out any
one place as the one worthy to come
first on the list OF resorts where the
eastern traveller may find rest, peace
and health. TO many the name of Pasa-
dena, the Crown City of the valley, Is q
word to conjure with. But Riverside,
Pomona, golden Santa Barbara and the
beautiful Coronado Beach are none the
less charming and attractive.
Pasadena, about eight miles from Los
Angeles, is probably the best known Of
the many resorts of Southern California
It's climate is such that the most delicate
invalid may spend nearly all the time
out in the free air. Such a paradise OF
fruit and flowers, soft sunshine and cool
nights can scarcely be found in any
other spot on the globe. Such equality
is practically unknown and in eleven
months of the year the mean tempera-
ture was 56.6 degrees, the lowest point
reached at any time being 1868. The
town has nearly 10000 in habitants, and
is we'll supplied with excellent hotels,
the Hotel Green being one of the hand
soonest and most comfortable taverns
in Southern California. Pasadena can
be reached from Los Angeles in many
ways. the Santa Fe, the Southern
Pacific and the Terminal all having lines
to it, and the Pasadena and Pacific elec-
trio road running fast, rOomy cars right
into the city from Los Angeles.
This town is invariably crowded with
health seekers every winter.
Not less beautiful is Rivesride, with
its forests Of orange trees and it's beau
tiful drive, Magnolia avenue. 1t is
aboutsixty miles from Los Angeles, and
can be reached from the larger city by
either the Santa Fe or the Southern
Pacific railroad The town of Riverside
is probably the best known place of it's
size i'll America. The fame Of its orange
groves and lemon, orchards have spread
far abroad. And such climate as Riv-
erside possesses is rarely equaled. The
rainy days are numerous enough to
mark the winter season, but the rains
are fairly tropical in their warmth and
softness. Riverside has q population
of about 5000 inhabitants, and more
prosperous and healthy community it
would be hard to find.
And then comes Santa Barbara, the
land that has been written of in prose
and poetry. and which some of the
greatest writer's in the country have not
thought it beneath them to write of.
Santa Barbara is almost too well known

PERTAINING 70 EDUCATION
Brief Comment on Local Institu.
tions of Learning
THE PRIDE OF THE CITY
Conditions Here Especially Favorable
for Excellent Schools
Los Angeles the Educational Center Of the
Los Angeles the Educational Center Of the
S,uth-fier Public School System.
Outline Of the Work

California has long since outgrown
those conditions which made ii possible
to refer to the state as the wild and
woolly west" In educational matters
at least she has come to be recognized
everywhere as one among the foremost
states of the Union. AS a part of the
great state of California Los Angeles
would naturally share in its glory. 1t
would share largely, as 1t is an import
ant part of the state. Even more than
that, however, is claimed for the south
ern metropolis, and it is almost univer
sally conceded.
Los Angeles has the best equipped,
best maintained and best administered
public schools in the entire west Ger
tain conditions there are which go to
bring about these results. The first con-
Germs local conditions; the city is the
center of the southern portion of the
state. Being the center commercially
politically and otherwise, it is but nat
ural that 1t should become so education
ally. The people in the smaller sur
rounding towns look to the city for
suitable place to secure those educa-
tional advantages wanting in their own
respective cities or whatever char
acter those wants may be. they can be
satisfied within the boundaries of Los
Angeles.
There are several institutions here of
higher education. among which are:
The University of Southern California,
a Methodist institution, comprising
college of liberal arts, college of medi-
cine and other departments; Occidental
college conducted by the Presbyterians.
and offering in it's curriculum full
collegiate course, and st. Vincent's col
,lege, for young men and boys, under the
patronage of the Catholic church.
Schools of lesser grade are more nu-
merous. The Baptists have an excel
lent preparatory school called the Los
Angeles Academy. and there are
great many private schools of high
order.
The opportunities for educating the
young women are perhaps better here
than anywhere west of New York. In
this particular the educational situa-
tion in Los Angeles is unique. There
is a large portion of the population
composed of retired men of wealth and
their families, and these have created
q demand for high grade finishing
schools for young ladies'. The demand
has been well met and today there are
several seminaries in the city that may
be classed among the best in the coun-
try.
I The semi-professional school known
rs the business college has good repre-
aeeutation here and several institutions
OF the kind flourish in the city. Schools
of art, elOcution, etc, are not wanting.
I q number of each adding their especial
training to complete the educational
.eyetem.
a There are four paroc.lial schools in
Hos Angeles, each OF which has an aver
axe attendance of 200 pupils. They are in
charge Of the sisterhood of the church
whose special work is that of teaching.

way has line stretching from Alta
dena, where it connects with Rubio can
yon and the Mt. Lowe railway and AL
pine division right into the heart of th,,
city, and from the city through tho
famous Cahuenga valley to Santa Mon
lea. After a dip in the waters of the
Pacific one can board car of this line
and in about two hours time be 60OO
feet above sea level. enjoying the de-
lights of mountain life. The cars are
handsome in design and perfect in finish
and comfort.
An electric street-car line to BOYLE
Heights along Macy street is among tha
enterprises projected.
The street-car service Of Los Ange-
les is unexcelled.
FOR SCENIC TRAVEL,
The Mt. Lowe railway, extending
from Altadena Junction to the top of tile
Sierra Madres, Mt. Wilson, is purely a
line for scenic travel. 1t was built as
such and Its construction was really a
great feat of engineering skill. It is
twice the length of any mountain rail-
road of its kind in the United States. At
the top Of the mounain is an astronom
ical observatory and 5000, 00O- candle
power Searchlight.

to need extended mention. The climate
Is simply wonderful, the mean tcmpera-
ture of the winter being 54 degrees, and
for the summer but 81. Soft. warm, sur
shiny days and cool nights are the eli
matte features of Santa Barbara. The
beautiful scenery all around the city is
not the least of the attractions, and it
may be safely said that there is more
sunshine and less fog, more soft breeze
and less wind, and purer sweeter air
than can be found at any other resort in
America.
And what of Pomona, the city of
fruits, the center of the great hOrticul-
tural district? A city Of 5000 people.
nearly all engaged in tilling the soil and
raising wonderful crops in that marvel
Gus climate. The town is on the line
of the Southern Pacific railroad and is
a great shipping point for citrus fruits.
The climate is soft and equable, and in
winter is an actual giver of life to those
with weak lungs. The strong hygienic
properties of this wonderful air act like
a tonic on delicate system.
And then the famous Coronado beach,
with it's wonderful hotel, that sprung
up in day on the former barren land
situated ON peninsula opposite the
city of San Diego. Coronado possesses
one of the finest beaches on the coast
and climate that for softness and
health giving properties cannot be eX-
celled. In the wonderful hotel is found
everything that makes life comfortable
for the traveller, and around it can be
enjoyed all the delights that are dear to
the heart Of the eastern sight-seer. San
Diego is about 1870 miles from Los Ange-
les and is the terminus of the Southern
California railway. The Coronado hotel
is made easy of access by ferry boats
across San Diego's beautiful bay, and
by the Belt Line railroad that runs
around it through National City. San
Diego and Coronado are invariably
through the winter: many prefering this
place to any other in the country.
And then there are the seaside resorts
that, to those who know them, are
among the best winter resorts in the
country. Santa Monica, Redondo and
Santa Catalina island are well known
for their many attractions in the sum-
the remarkably pleasant winter cli-
mates that these places possess. A
storm is such a rare thing in a Califor-
mia winter that many a rainy season
passes without a single strong disturb
ance of the elements. All these places
are well supplied with excellent hotels,
and their accessibility to Los Angeles is
no small point in their favor.
Should every winter resort in South
ern California be mentioned, it would
resolve itself into list Of the cities and
towns thickly scattered through this
great country. Such climate does not
exist elsewhere in the whole of the
United States and the number of
healthseekers who have regained
strength in this section are indeed
many. Nature, after all, is the greatest
physician, and Nature; in all her purity
and efficacy. is found everywhere in
Southern California.

the banks career the stock has paid to
It's owners in regular and special prem
iums $4,000 or more per share. Most OF
the stock is owned by yOld-timers, and, in
all, the stockholders number only thirty

Loyalty of caiifornlaus

Los Angeles has long since been rec
ognized as the distributing center for
all Southern California and to a large
extent for Arizona, New Mexico and
portions of Nevada, Utah, Texas, and
Old Mexico. Furthermore, Califor-
dustries, and therefore any new fac
tory will find easy access to the market.
An article which bears the stamp of a
local firm takes preference. These
points are worth the attention of pros
pective investors. 1t is quite different
placing home manufactured article
ON the market here as compared to an
eastern city where the market is al
ready crowded with competition, or
where the people are located within
easy access of the largest factories of
the country.
