lis I DOWDNEY 5 CLARK WRITES OF TRIP™ One of a Series of Letters r> Received by This Office Recently 7 , e The following i» from tin- pen of t1 Mr*. T. Dowdncy flnrk. of Wood- | bury. who-c slimmer home is at S21 Third st reel, this city . Mrs. Clark i; Is 'an active worker in the Ladies' t| Summer Auxiliary. of the First M. i:. Church, and. has just com- „ week. British Columbia, the Canadian . Rockies and the Great latke-. In. my last lettcT I think I had written about our 'trip as far as Santa Cruz, so I will liegin there. After arriving In that place we were taken by a guide through the "Big Tree l'ark." It certainly was a revelation, and as wc gazed upon , these huge trees, many of them, from three to five thousand years t old. from forty-five to sixty-five feet t in circumference and frotp two hun- . drcd and sixty-five to three hundred j and eighty-one feet in height, again wc realized the mighty evidence of f God's handiwork ii> another form, ami as we tries! to peer up into the J tree tups, it seemed as if their aim . was t" pierce the blue of the heavens as they stood there in their grandeur , and might. The largest of these redwood trees is called the "Big Giant," j then comes "Jumbo" and others, also the "Cathedral Group." where ^ eighteen trees stands in two circular rows of nine trees, each great in it- . self. Two distinct characteristics aid their longevity: sixty-five per cent, of their composition is moisture ami ^ they also possess, no pitch or rosin. ( A number of the big trees are | named in honor of our presidents who have visited the big trees grove. We had our luncheon there ami spent ( three hours sight-seeing, then board- , ed our Pullman (which had been kept in waiting) ami traveled through grand and beautiful scenery to San Franflsco. I must not forget to mention the | magnificent automobile coast road, composed of asphalt, which extends from Los Angeles to San Francisco, a distance of over five hundred miles, without a break or detour; it often runs for miles within a few yards of . the Pacific Ocean. Wc passed many cattle ranches, , and many, many oil wells and I forgot to write (if you will allow me to digress) that we passed through the huge Del Monte fruit district, covering hundreds of acres, and also by their buildings, before we reached Santa Cruz; this was immensely interesting. ' You know how good their products arc. WJien we at last arrived in San Francisco, at 5-30 P. M.. we were greeted by high winds, cloudy skies und the thermometer registered 52. During the three days wejrere there it never registered highr than 60 and then went down again at night. Julyami August are very disagreeable months, but we were a jolly crowd, determined to see and enjoy everything. and believe me, we did. Our hotel was the Whitcomb, and it was heated very comfortable. Speaking * of hotels reminds me that we have now been guests of fourteen and have four more on our list. our list.

1 We visited all the main places of interest (and believe me. they are in- t| teresting), and grtyrtly eg joyed a w long automobile ride in big Packard ^ cars around and in the city; as we rode we hail a superb view before us j of the city on its three hills, and theGolden Gate, through which the ships were passing. How we women again raided the shops, particularly the Japanese and Chinese ones, and really, we nearly forgot to tome out of these because - of the wonderful curios, but most of us had husbands "keeping tabs" on us, and so we were rescue. I ami gently, but firmly, led hotelward. I must tell you in a small whisper that some of those husbands were secretly enjoying the shops just the same. Sun Francisco is a great city, with everything on such a big scale. I went through the markets one day eariy and found all fruits, vegetables and meats much cheaper than in the east; still give me old New Jersey to live in, for my branches of affection are securely fastened tight to the old parent tree, und the other# echo that i sentiment. 1 must not forget to write of two features of our trip after leaving San Francisco, which we did at night. One was crossing San Francisco Bay to Oakland (where we went to board our train) on a huge and . splendid double-deck ferryboat, the second deck of which was a fine cabin with big hardwood seats arranged ncross ship with wide aisles finely lighted and warmed, while the main deek was used as a restaurant and one big space for vehicles. Dear old Miss Philadelphia must sit up nml take notice or she .will be left! The second feature was -after traveling in out train for aboiit twenty miles to riile on tho biggest trainferry heat in the world, and running under its own power. Our train wrn* compose. I of fourteen ears, two locomotives, eleven Pullmans, two "din- • era" and one observation car, so Just imagine the weight antf every car steel. Well. . our locomotives and s<ars were iieparated In order to bal- / ance the lioat, this was done in a Tew minutes ami without any hard jar or any passengers having to get - t • d

out. the only noise being the wheezy, crazy tune the cables were playing. The boat could still have curried five i more cars, and it took fifteen or twenty minutes to cross over the buy Well, we*, wean, still getting further fiom home as we have since the be land -'ami now ale in Seattle, and when - we reach Vancouver".
