PASADENA, Cal, Apr. 10, 1897.
To the Editor of The american:
Recently have had the great pleasure
OF spending a few weeks at Avalon, ON
the island OF Santa Catalina, lying about
thirty miles off The coast of southern
California i'll the bay of san Pedro. At
this time his island is an emerald in
setting of siivery sea. As you approach
it on the daily steamer that crosses the
channel in two and one half hours, it
presents to you its eastern coast with its
few beaches of pebbles, its rugged points
its eanons cutting their way into its
heart; and then there arise its great
hills until they grow into mountains with
attitudes Of thousands OF feet.
AT this time Of he year, in such season
of rains as this has been, this island is
most attractive. II is beautiful beyond
words to describe; and many visitors are
attracted to its little village, the town of
Avalon. There are several hotels, many
neat cottages and soon hundreds of tents
will be put up TO accommodate summer
tourists. There Is now being added to
the principal hotel there, wing $50 feet
long and three stories high.
a carriage road is being built winding
along sides Of mountains, and Will, when
finished about the middle of June next,
extend for some ten miles, climbing
mountains and wandering after canon
curves, and all this is to be in full view as
you approach the island. 1t is piece of
great engineering skill to construct this
road, and the company deserves much
praise for engaging in the enterprise.

one, And Yet this is the case in the
