SANTA BARBARA, April 9.-The
excursion of the California Promotion
Committee arrived in Santa Barbara
two and a half hours late on account
of an accident to the engine near
Chatsworth which stalled the entire
special until a passing freight engine
was secured. The party was sched-
uled to arrive here at a. m. and re-
main until $50. The local Chamber
of Commerce had made extensive
preparations for the entertainment of
the party, including breakfast at the
Potter Hotel and a short drive around
the city.
The visitors were driven to the Pot
ter in tally-hos Immediately on their
arrival and hurried breakfast was
served, but the proposed drive had to
be abandoned, much to the regret of
all parties. The day was ideal and the
excursionists were much disappointed
at having to make such close conec-
tions. The train pulled out of Santa
Barbara at 1 o'clock. one and half
hours behind schedule time.
SAN LUIS OBISPO, April 9.-The
California Promotion Committee Wis

as planned in carriages. Then the

BATHS AT PASO ROBLES.
PASO ROBLES, April Sowing to a
series of minor accidents the special
train bearing the California Promotion
Committee arrived here at $3.50 p. m,
an hour and half late, and though
but a brief stop was made many availed
themselves of an oportunity for hot
sulphur bath. The mammoth hot sui
phur well at the Hotel Ell Paso de Ro-
bles was opened for the gaze of the
visitors after lunch at that hostelry.
The site of the new 100000 bathhouse
and the various mineral wells and
springs were shown the visitors. A
delegation of local business men met
the visitors at the train and escorted
them about the town. Many EXPIRE
s:ons were heard of the delights of
Southern and Central California and
the enjoyable trip which the excur-
sionists were having. The wather has
been Unusually warm for April, but the
country is now at it's best.
