VdterIdRd Cruiser
ATcOna Welcomed

II there is a cleaner ship ahoat than
the German cruiser Arcona, Captain H
schroder. which arrived here yester-
day afternoon, it never anchored in san
Francisco bay. The Arcona is a float
ing spotless town. The Arcona is a
beautiful ship, looking more like an
imperial yacht than an engine of war,
and the first remark OF every visitor
that stepped aboard was:
N.Y., How nice and clean"
The Arcona came all the way from
Tsingtau, a German colony on the
-Asiatic coast, to attend the Portola fes-
tival and officers and men are alike
delighted at the prospect. The Asiatic
station is not the most desira bic place
in the world TO spend a couple of years,
ard this trip across the Pacific, pleas
sutly broken at Honolulu, is, both to
officers and men, an experience delight
ful, as il was unexpected. This may
account for the smiles that wreathed
Al faces on the Arcona and made those
who went on board forget the rather
oreary Cog that had intruded itself be-
twen the water and the sunshine.

The Arcona was the second arrival

railroads, each placed on sale today
round trip tickets to San Francisco for
the PortoIa celebration at one and a
third fare. The former makes all tick
cts good for return up to and including
October 25, while the latter gives a 10
day limit on each ticket from date of
sale. The fare from Santa Rosa is thus
made S1.70 for the round trip.
The indications all point to a ire
mendous influx of country people next
week into San Francisco. Many of the
country schools will be closed for the
entire week, while practically all the
Schools of the county will be closed
one or two days on account of the cele-
bration.
Special trains will be run on Tues
day and Thursday by the Northwestern
Pacific to accommodate the anticipated
crowds on those days.
