AS time for the sailing of Hills

steamship. which, although intend
ed as a freight steamer for the trade
between the Pacific coast and the
East, has in some respects the finest
passenger equipment in the world
She has accommodations for more
than 5000 persons--175 first cabin

Just as the sunshine and the rain
