cts OF admission to the grounds we
had to get at the international CEN
ter Of Theosophy CT the tent vii
| lage opposite the entrance. After the.
gates were open for us, we were put
under the charge of a guide who was
to show us through the grounds, but
as there were some more sightseers
following, our guide decided to wait
until the rear would come up and az
| | was not accustomed to waiting for
some one to show me the road, my
party and | moved on ahead and as
the fountain and shrubbery looked
very attractive, we took a little path
off to one side of the main thorough
fare. The first thing l knew ! was
under a guard. Whether they thought
was liable to get lost or that
might get into some of the secret
workings of the place, do not know
at any rate they fetched me back to
the main body. There are about 600
students there at the present time.
Fl. Rosecrans is the only fortified
ton in Southern California. The L. S.
coaling station building is there; it
cost $350000. Wireless telegraph sta
ton and the lighthouse headquarters,
land also a quarantine station. This
wireless telegraph station is very
busy one, as it is the only one of it's
kind in this part of the country. Take
it all together, we enjoyed the trip
very much.
Our next trip was to Old Mexico,
a town called Tia Juanana Il miles
south of San Diego. We had Pope
Hartford car and she did her work
nicely on this trip. After leaving
CORONADO, we follow right down the
peninsula, which is about miles from
the hotel, a very beautiful drive, the
ocean being on both sides within 100
feet before striking the mainland. The
next five miles was through an I'M
cultivated country at the present time,
| but had been all broken up and set
| town site a great many years. After
that we struck into the Tia Junana
valley across the Tia Junana river, tn
roads being very fine and through
lemon groves all the way until we
crossed the line After that there
was neither roads or cultivation. The
whole country and the town of Tia
Junana looked very much like 500
Indian reservation in Montana. The
country was covered with burros such
as the Mexicans use mostly; no sign
of cultivation whatever and small littl
huts. We spent about three-quarters
OF an hour in the town, which was
composed of about 3 stores and a sa-
loon. Those stores handle mostly
Mexican and Spanish curios which
seem to be sought after by tourists,
as all the. Americans were buying
something.
On our road returning We went
round by the way of San Diego and
took another route by National city.
The drive was more beautiful than
the one we went down on, and the
sight to me was perfectly grand, as
