THOUSANDS VISIT CANYONS
Mt. Lowe, Wilson'S Peak and Sur
roundings Are FaVorite Picnic
Grounds for Memorial Day
Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, May Cot is estima ted
that over a thousand people picnicked
in Santa Anita canyon today while the
Mt. Lowe division of the Pacific Elec-
trio railway carried fully 700 people
to Rubio canyon and Alpine tavern.
Both the line leading to Sierra Ma
DIRE and the line to the Mt. Lowe in
cline had to be supplied with extra
cars to accommodate the throngs out
for a day in the mountains
From Sierra Madre hundreds trudged
up the trail TO Martins camp or to the
cottage hotel on the summit of Mt.
Wilson.
All day long there was a movin g
stream of people inspecting the out
side of the solar observatory and
quizzing the attendants about the
equipment and work.
At lunch time the trail was almost
lined with picnic parties,
Eatons canyon attracted a great
crowd, as did Las Flores and Millard' $,
although the difficulty of reaching
them by electric cars made them less
favored.
No accidents of any sort are report
ed and as the weather was perfect and
the vegetation and waterfalls in the
canyons at their very best there was
nothing 10 mar the enjoyment of the
day.

Rev. w G.. Mills. the minister in charge
of the new church, laid the stone with
appropriate words, after which DR.. Tai
mage was introduced.
The doctor took for his subject Les
sons From the Old Soldiers From the
Time the War Was Closed
He grew eloquent in praise of the men
who had fought for their country, but
at times interspersed his remarks with
some of the foibles and fancies of the
old soldier of today.
In opening his address he told story
OF his father which is rather hard on
himself He said:
"One time when my father went to
Chicago to speak at large meeting he
was met after the service by a drunken
man at the door who asked him in a
thick voice if he knew him. Said the
elder Talmage: I do not know you and
do not know that l ever saw you be-
fore
Said the drunk: I know you we'll 1
am one of your sons converts
DO not doubt 1t; you are about like some
The doctor gave San Pedro's saloons a
hard blow and told his hearers that the
best thing that they could do was to get
rid OF them at the first opportunity.
