President Roosevelt's Interesting
Journey Through California.
Near FELTON, He Was Taken Through
Forests of Big Trees-A Visit
to Mrs. James A. Garfield
at Pasadena.

Pajaro, CAL, May 1.-THE presi-
dental train left Delmonte at eight
o'clock Monday morning. A detach-
ment of the Fifteenth infantry, COM
manded by Capt. SWEET, accompanied
the president from his hotel to the
train.
From Pajaro the president went to
Santa Cruz, a picturesque city and
seaside resort on the northeastern
shore of Monterey bay, where the
party remained until noon. Several
thousand people thronged the streets.
On his way to San Jose the party
made a brief stop at FELTON, to visit
the grove of redwood trees which has
made that part of the Santa Cruz
mountains well-known to travellers.
At San Jose, which was reached dur
ing the afternoon, the president was
rendered an ovation. He was shown
the most famous orchards and vine
yards of that section of the state and
warmly expressed his appreciation
of the Santa Clara valley. At Santa
Clara the old Jesuit college was Wis
tied, and at Campbell. where large
number of fruit-growers and farmers
had assembled, the president spoke
few words.
At San Jose President Roosevelt
gave the people of the, county an OBJ
ject lesson on the evils of vandalism.
While at Santa Cruz in the forenoon
he was taken to the Big Tree grove.
Almost the first sight that greeted
his eyes as he entered the park was
one of the huge trees with thou
sands of business and personal cards
tackled ON it. Tourists for years had
been placing their cards upon this
tree and it began to look more like
a receptacle for bits of paper than it
did one OF the wonders of nature.
The president instantly expressed his
disapproval of such a procedure and
a little while later, when asked to
make a speech, called attention to
the disfacement of the trees and
said he hoped the people of Califor-
mia would see to it that such vandal-
ism was stopped.
At Los Angeles and Pasadena.

dent Roosevelt made his entry into

dent ]. A. Garfield, with whom the
