SAILORS ALTO ANGELES
Graphic Description BY q
Little Falls
Girl

Miss Myrta Graham, of this city,
now visiting at Pomona, CAL, writes
the following very interesting descrlp-
ton of the visit of the U. S. war ves-
sells at San Pedro and the reception of
the sailors at Los Angeles:
Saturday, April 18th, at 3 O'Clock,
the greatest naval armament the world
has ever seen was booked to arrive IN
San Pedo. 1t is beyond the power of
words to describe the crowded condi-
ton of Los Angeles. Saturday morn
ing and early afternoon, it seemed as
If the entire world were en- masse in
the streets, frantically endeavoring to
get to San Pedro or Long Beach by
any means or any way.
I went to Los Angeles on one of the
many special trains that ran that day
on route to San Pedro. When the train
got to Los Angeles I wished to get of ;
It was almost impossible As I would
try to get off the people, frantic to get
on, would again push me back Final

ing very much as if had been

toward the depot; the crowd was
iambed IN against the iron gates. In
side the depot and out into the street,
the pressure became so great that the
iron gates gave way: All day long
the trains were unable to come into
the depot because of the crowds.
saw that to go through the depot was
one Of the impossible things in this
world, so I went around and into the
street. I then went to the Hunting

saw sight such as I have never
seen and perhaps will never see again:

for the gate bars to be lifted, but went

even on top Of the cars.
From IL o'clock to 1 80 / watched
them go-two or three cars coming in,
minute apart, and going out in the
same packed condition. And still the
crowd that remained was as great as
ever. I got car then in an opposite

and the automobiles all day were q
steady line.
For one week the gates of the City
of the Angels stood wide open, while
the Jackies roamed at will within her
portals Such hospitality and reoognl-
ton has never before been extended to
the s'man behind the gun, and their
delight and pleasure knew no bounds:
Time and time again they we're heard
to say. I'VE have never known any
thing like this before. . In their ma
tive waters the sailors uniform is
viewed with little or no respect, for
which, perhaps, they are more or less
to blame. But there was none of that
here. Los Angeles simply took them
to her heart in her wild free way.
And the one thing which the boys
seemed to appreciate more than any.
thing else was the way the women OF
the entire city mothered them. The
city was one united whole in it's re-
ception. And 1T must be said for the
sailor that he took freedom and good
will in the spirit in which it was
given. Never again, perhaps, will the
| people of Los Angeles witness such
splendid military pageant, nor the
sailor such a glorious welcome. One
sailor said to me, In coming arouno

for everything; never have we beer
told that our money was no good
And certainly Los Angeles did not ain
to make money on the sailor. Stree
cars carried them free of charge; al
places and forms of amusement wer'
open to them also. Every day a barbe
cue dinner was provided in Chute
park free for the $500 men that haa

churches and city clubs waited upo1

N. P. TO PUT ON NEW TRAIN
TO BEMIDJI.

Bemidji, Mimi, May 19.-Word
comes from Brainerd to the effect that
the Northern Pacific railway company,
in conjunction with the M & I. rail-
way company, will run week end ex-
ira passenger train from St. Paul to
International Falls, to be run over tho
line of the M. & I. railway for tho
purpose of allowing the people of the
Twin Cities to reach Bemidji and
other summer resorts in the north half
of the state for Sunday outing or
longer stay among the beautiful lakes
of this region. -
The train will make it's initial run
on Friday, May %, because of the fact
that Saturday, May 80, is Decoration
Day and the train will give an oppor-
tunity for all wo so desire to leave the
Twin Cities for the north to spend
Decoration Day. !.
Every Saturday after May 80 this
week end train will leave st. Paul in
the evening. The train will be
equipped with Pullman sleepers and
will in every way be made up to pro-
vide comfort and convenience to the
Twin City and other patrons who may
desire to take advantage of the train
and spend day cup north. " i
