is through the States of Nevada
and sunny California, San Fran
cisco being reached in the morning
of August 10th.
OF San Francisco, no wo"ds are
sufficient in description, nor will
our space allow of more than a
mere mention of few of the de-
lights of this wonderful and cos
mopolitan city. 1t has hotels of
every description and restaurants
of world wide fame-French, Ital-
ian, American and Oriental-with
prices as various as their charac-
teristics. The Cliff House is worth
a visit, not onl y for the view of
Seal Rocks and occasional visits of
vagrant whales, but for the excel
lent beach as well, though for bath
ing tine tine luxurious 6utro Datns
are perhaps more attractive.
Among numerous other attractions
may be noted Chinatown, the Army
Post at Presidio, the United States
Mint, the Hopkins Museum of Art,
while near by are numerous and
delightful resorts, including the
seaside city of Santa Cruz, the
fruit orchards of San Jose, the
garden city of the West, Mt. Ham
ilton, where is located the wonder
full Lick Observatory, and Mt.
Tamalapais, from which may be
seen, spread at ones very feet, the
panorama of the Golden Gate.
There will undoubtedly be a
great many people outside of the
G. A. r. who will be glad to avail
themselves of this through tourist
car servica and tho very ehean rail
