The LUCKY Six"

They are looking for the Lucky
Six" all along the line in California
and today's vote will have added in
terest on account OF the approach Of
the time to start. The tour will be
one continuous line Of pleasure and
education.
Leaving the Santa Clara Valley the
Lucky Six will swing off to the right
pass through the enchanting Niles
Canyon and come bounding out into
the beautiful San Joaquin Valley
and are in for a ride of few hours
without a stop.
Fresno, the end Of the western d.
vision, is a beautiful city Of modern
architecture, where some little time
can be spent in seeing the sights of a
new city, which are always of inter.
est to q stranger. The next stop will
be made at Bakersfield, a most mod
ern and up-to-date city, and where
the fame of the Lucky Six is known
in advance and they will be received
by the representative citizens. Ba-
kersfeld is the center of the crude
Gil industry There, with no trouble
or travel attached, they will see hun
dreds of oil wells gushing forth thou
sands Of gallons of oil daily. Leav-
ing Bakersfield after a most pleasant
time among its best people, ride of
two hours will bring the train to the
lower levels or foothills Of the divid-
ing range of mountains between the
San Joaquin and San Gabriel Val
leys. At this point four monster,
n-driving-wheeled locomotives are
attached and the train begins to climb
the range, and eventually goes
through the Tehachapi Pass, and the
beautiful San Gabriel Valley, in
which Los Angeles is situated,
spreads out to the view as far as the
eye can reach. There is no monot-
cny in Southern California, but a
change constantly Of lights and shad-
0Ws everywhere
The Mojave Desert is crossed in a
twinkling and then comes some of the
most interesting features Of the Pa
ciic States Tour. Features that link
the past with the present. The old
California Missions The first is Mis-
sion San Gabriel. Time has treated it
very kindly. To look at its well-pre-
served walls one would think that
time had forgotten it. It was found
ed in 1771 and is therefore 1876 years
cid and in a fine state of keep today.
1t will require no long tramp or dus-
ty ride of the Lucky Six to visit this
Mission. It is right at the station Of
San Gabriel, not two minutes walk
from the depot. 1t is noted for its
chime Of bells, that to this day send
their sweet tones along the valley
calling the faithful to its fold. Other
noted Missions that will be visited
later on, for they are somewhat wide
ly separated, are Mission San Jose
Capistrano, Mission San Luis Rey,
Mission San Fernando, and Mission
Santa Barbara. Some Of these Mis-
sions are to the south Of Los Angeles
and will not be visited until after
Los Angeles has been seen. One
point of interest that the Lucky Six
will rot miss is Camulos, the home
of Ramona, made famous and ever
dear to the lovers of literature by
Helen Hunt Jackson, The different
structures, as set forth in that most
interesting of novels, Ramona" are
still standing, even to the chapel, as
vivid proof of the authors power Of
word-picturing.
The next point Of interest is the
old Mission Of San Juan Capistrano,
built in 1775. The erection of this
Mission was under the immediate su-
pervision Of Father Junipero Sierra,
a most notable person in the early
history of the Golden State, and to
whose memory the late Jane L. STAN
