Cities Far Apart
The Shasta route of the Southern
Pacifce from San Francisco to
Portland is full of wonders and
covers a distance of 772 miles or
twice as far as it is from GAINESVILLE
to St. Paul. From Portland to
Salt Lake is 9O2 miles or almost as
far as it is from Chicago to New
York. This route is over the Ore
gon short line, pass the Dalles of
the Columbia river, through the
fruit and grazing country of east
ern Oregon, up the Snake river
through Idaho and down Salt lake,
| 1t is to this country that several
Baraboo people have recently gone
and if others desire to know about
that section of the United
States they should communicate
with A. L. Craig of the Oregon
Short line at Portland.
The Mormons were glad to see us
and entertained the party by first
giving all bath in the lake, then a
concert in the great tabernacle and
afterwards a ride about the city.
After leaving Salt Lake City the
roll was called and it was founC
that five of the party had been left
behind. Whether or not they
thought it would be fine to remain
in the wonderful city we were moi
able to ascertain but after con

merous elevations, choice suburbs

are characteristics of San Francisco
In about the same length of time
that Baraboo has grown from vii.

francisco has changed from sand
hill to acity full of uniqueness The
founding of the cid missions, the
coming of the Argonauts for gold.
the appearance of the Chinese, are
the titles to but of a few of the
stories of interest to the traveller
concerning the Queen of the West.
The ships come to the Golden
Gate from all quarters of the globe
and here the strange people mingle
and may be seen on the busy
thoroughfare. The streets 60 up
steep hills and d few of the ele-
vations are SO abrupt that driving
on them is out of the question.
The cable cars climb to the top and
go down again. The days of sum-
mer make one think of an overcoat.
The city is full of interest, wealth
and activity from the waterline to
the topmCst hill.
In order to reach the suburbs of
San Francisco one must cross the
bay in some of the finest and
swiftest ferry boats in the world.
Oakland, Berkley, Piedmont and
others are built up with fine resi-.
dences and are the homes of those
who desire to be away from the
activity of the metropolis. Those
who desire to know more of this
section of the United States or in
part of the entire state should
write to the California Promotion
Committee. San Francisco, and
literature will be sent.
A Big Ferry.
After leaving San Francisco, our
train was taken across an arm of
the bay at Port Casta on
mammoth ferry. The boat had
four tracks and would hold 36 cars,
or four such trains as the Chicago
& Northwestern limited. Here was
held the celebrated prize fight be-
tween John C. Heenan and Thomas
Sayres which resulted in broken
arm and a draw.
Sacramento boasts of a fine capi-
tai, rare art gallery, and old fort
and general prosperity.
Only One Case of Poetry.
When our train reached Mt.
Shasta one of the scribes fell into
rhyme. It was the only case on the
entire trip that came to our notice
but the remarkable thing about
it is that more were not afflicted
in the same way or more seriously.
The melting of the eternal SHOWS
has proauced flock of water falls
which come tumbiing down in per-
petual splendor. They are not

of water with as many tastes as
lJoseph's coat had colors, gush forth

The Exposition.

The government exhibit at the
Portland exposition is just as
elaborate as it was at St. Louis or
Chicago. In order to reach this
building it is necessary to cross
Guilds lake on a bridge and many
of the improvements are built over
this lake. All of the attractions
on 'EThe Trail" are over the water
and the large hotel, The American
Inn. comes down to the water edge.
The large restaurants, also, are
over the lake so that the conditions
.1are somewhat unusual. Broad
bridges and wide walks make all
points accessible. Of course the
: state buildings are filled with manu-
factured goods from every part OF
the earth, the wares being on SALE
The Portland fair cost about SOU,
600 and is said to be entirely tree
from debt. The St. Louis fair cost
$50, 900. 900 or 200 times more than
the Portland attraction which
I shows that the show is not so ex-
tensive. The Trail attractions are
/ similar TO those at ST. Louis.
: The American Inn within the
: grounds is managed by Mrs. J. T.
S McCready and is an undertaking OF
no small magnitude. The large
= structure is built similar to the
e Inside Inn at ST. Louis and Will nc
e doubt be successful venture.
