Santa Cruz is a splendid little
city. claiming IA population OF
$4,000 and supplied with all The

US that the flowers are ia bloom

city is a great summer resort,

the mountain valleys to escape
) the heat Of their interior loc4-
tions and enjoy the cooling
breezes of the ocean, aud other
thousands from San Francisco
and other points to enjoy the
! scenic beauties of mountain and
sea at this favored spot. For
the accommodation of these an

: cost over $500, 900 has been
: provided on the beach, where
bathing in a warm salt water
plunge, or in the open surf may
be INDUCED ip, and all sorts Of
amusements are provided for
the entertainment Of visitors,
: with plenty of hotels and
cottage econ modations. Be
fore leaving Santa Cruz we were
, taken on u picnic by our Dakota
friends to Capitola, four miles
down the bay, and a most enjoy
able time was had in this pleas
ant reunion. In fact, our stay
IN this pretty little city and
among these friends of former
years was Of a most deli ghtful
character, and will always be re.
membered as one of the enjoy.
able portions Of this trip.
