California.

The fame of the climate of California draws to that charming state new friends every year, particularly from sections where long, severe winters, followed by trying spring seasons, work such disastrous results among the weak and debilitated. The great improvements in passenger train service, higher degrees of comfort in the oars, and shorter time required on the trip, combined with the cheapness of the excursion tickets now being sold to California and back by the Santa Fo Route, make the journey agreeable and, one can almost say, economical. The. many delightful resorts now established in California afford every comfort and luxury desired by the fastidious, and present unique attractions. The Hotel del Coronado at San Diego, the Raymond at Pasadena, the Redondo at Redondo Beach, and the hotels at Santa Barbara, Monterey, Riverside, Los Angeles and many other points, have grown as famous as any on the Atlantic Coast—and a fact that should not be forgotten is that they are resorts all the year around, although the greatest number of people from the East are in California between the months of November and May. Write to John J. Byrne, Asst. Passenger Traffic Manager, 723 Monadnock Block, Chicago, 111., if you are interested in California and he will send you some interesting reading matter.
