We have' another one of" 3Mjs.
Warren'te good letters and are glad
to   share  it "with   you.
"I thought when I came to California this year I could rest and
relax as I thought I had seen almost everything last year. But I
find I hadn't seen anything yet.
So have taken several trigs to the
interesting places in Pasadena and
surrounding territory. I spent one
day viewing the glories of the Mo-
jave desert, miles and miles of it
stretching away into space. The
desert flowers were in bloom making the scenery" lovely. We visited
Gold Town in the desert; used to be
the largest gold mine here. They I
still have an assayer's office there.
They told us how gold was separated by means of chemicals. We
were wondering how they were going to reclaim all of this, desert land
as there is so much of it. On the
way home we visited Death Valley
and Scottie's home. Some more desert land.
I spent one day in Palm Springs
and the Palm Canyon. It has the
largest and oldest palms in California. They were " not planted by
man. They think the ?oirds must
have carried the seed there. Another
day was spent on Mt. Wilson in
the Sierra Madre mountains, 26
miles from Pasadena. It is over a
mile high. Day and night eight
huge telescopes are busy probing
the mysteries of the universe. It
is the astronomical Genter of the
world and contains the world's largest telescope with the famous 100
inch reflector". The new astronom
ical ekhibit room is open to the
public. You enjoy a touch of Old
Man Winter amid the "pines and
snow, - 30 -minutes from' the orange
groves, -in a-delightful atmosphere
close up under the. stairs. The elevation is  6,000  feet" "
We visited Lake Arrowhead on
the Rim-of-the-World Drive, one of
the most awe inspiring, scenic drives
in Southern California. The road
ascends to over* - 6,000 feet from
where beautiful panoramic views of
the valley and the ocean, .85 miles
away, may be seen.
Fish Harbor ia iocated on Terminal "Island. Here' more than .1200 fishing crafts of all sizes and descriptions regular^ bring In their cargoes of sea food.
We visited the U...S.. fleet * at
Los Angeles, Long Beach harbor.
From the pier may be seen the
large_ cruisers, giant dreadnaughts
and mighty airplane carriers. Visitors are welcome on board Sundays
and national holidays. We were
there on Washington's birthday.
We visited the alligator, ostrich, and
lion farms in  January.
One day we went on a tour of
the Bernheimer Gardens on the Pacific Palisades. They are notably
landscaped, beautiful oriental bronze
statuary in miniature, and buildings
of oriental architecture. Nearly
$3,000,000 have ,been spent on this
8-acre garden.
We visited an old ranch house,
"Casa Adobe," made of sun dried
bri'c3ks. An authentic reproduction
inside and out of a Spanish hacienda of 1000. It is situated opposite
Sycamore park. We spent a whole
day in Exposition park. It contains
130 acres with nine acres of sunken
gardens and the California State
3Exposition building containing exhibits of the resources and industries   of  the   state.
The 3Los Angeles county museum
of history, science and art, with
many famous art collections, also
fossil remains of prehistoric animals
taken from Rancho LaBrea. The
Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum,
having 105,000 reserved seats, is one
of the greatest structures of its
kind. It was the scene of the 10th
Olympiad.
We traveled over El Camino Real,
(The King's Highway) to the most
hallowed and historical spots in California, the lovely old missions,
some of which were erected as early
as 1769. Their thick aidobe walls
of heavy mission timbers, hide bound
and beautiful flowered 'courtyards
are a constant reminder of early
California as it was a hundred
years   ago.
San Juan Capis£rajno is the largest of the old missions and the
only one that Father Sierra actually helped to construct. It is noted
for the annual migration of swallows  which nest in  the eaves.
We .went .by Foothill Boulevard
to - San Bernardino, then Sierra
way, straight on up the high-gear
boulevard and the Rim-of-the-World
Drive to Curry's Camp Baldy and
Big Bear - Lake. We spent another
day at Griffith Park. It contains
3760 acres, miles of bridle trails, a
bird sanctuary, fern dell, with tree
ferns rising to amazing heights, ai
beautiful Greek theatre, three public golf courses, tennis courts, playgrounds, etc. Griffith Park Planetarium is the newest and one of
the finest planteria in tlie U. S.
It is in a natural setting of great
beauty. LaBrea Pits, originally a
part1-of an old Spanish rancho "has
yielded the skeletons of over 4,000
. and skeletons of more than 4.000 \
mamnwls. This tour took in Sierra.
Madre. It is located at the foot of
Mt. Wilson, overlooking the rich
San Gabriel valley to the Sea, a
home community where many artists, writers and horse lovers re-
f,v~->. t-Tti* is tt-e world's largest
vine,   covering   several   acres,,   and
In   connection with a.  recent   article .on old  time national advertising we turn to the ads of our local
community   shortly   after   the   turn j
of the  century.    From this we see.Thecal 3Kifle Team Trims  Champion-
that   names   and types of "business. ol,;„   a*,,..,,™,. -o„„„j  ,.__  .
along   Main  street   Irnve  witnessed
many  changes  since that time.
Among the regular advertisers of
that time we find onr own mayor,
G. C. Townsend, who evidently had
a variety of high class merchandise ranging from furs to Wd gloves
and mittens, from fine linens to
very inexpensive cottons. Among
his listed items we find, "overshoes,
ruibbers, carpets, oil. cloths and matting, wallpaper, shirt waists;* also
an amazing sale of 1,500 yards of
new prints at 3yz cents a yard.
One can find only the cheapest
sort of prints at triple the. price
today. ** -
G. L. Parsons, who has remained
in business' through all the ups and
downs of business cycles and depressions, was also in the advertising columns. We find shoes for
all the family in his ads, also work
clothes for men, suits, coats and
underwear. He certainly knows the
old established firms who have
earned a reputation for- dependable
goods. He carries nowf, as he did
then, a full line of accessories, ties,
socles,  scarfs, suspenders, belts,  etc.
J. A. Alber's ads for a wide variety of good candies, a choice line
of fruits and pastry, maKe one
long to step inside and sample some
of the  goodies listed.   ;•
Lister & Sheeder, who at that
time operated the Corner drug
store, were advocating a certain
couigh remedy whi(ih was guaranteed
to   give   satisfaction.     - ,
Unterkircher's' Drug ; and Book
Store.ads were interesting. Among
tlie books advertised were such, old
favorites as "Alice dn-Old Vincermes.

The Griswold House, Detroit, advertised regularly in The Observer
and no doubt many had the experience of stopping there when it
was the leading hotel ot the city.
It has been replaced with newer
and more modern hotels which figuratively speaiking, look down on
the site Of what was once a fine
hotel.
Humphrey & Co. advocated special
brands of coffee which were popular then but the names have passed into history. We suspect that
some of the highly advertised
brands of today are old substantial
grades, packed in modern containers and labeled with new names.
Humphrey also advertised dress patterns, wallpaper, rubbers, ribbons,
spikes, window . shades; groceries
and millinery.
Charles Burldiart, father of our
genial Fred Bur3khart,- was also a
constant advertiser. Among his
items we find skirts, mittens, sheetings, shirtings, tickings, denims,
crashes, 10 cent bats for quilts,
wallpaper at five cents a double roll,
shoes and underwear. Such" prices
were not made by government regulation of businesSj and social security  -was   unknown.
The following poem was taken
from the New York Sun and printed
in The Saline Observer April 4,
1907, proving that the hours and
wages battle is not a new thing.
"Gee   Whizz!
What  a  snap" that3 is—■
What a perfect ideal
Of   the   only   Real
Thing  on   earth
That is   Worth
Counting in  the returns
Of what a man earns
By the labor of his hands
3In all lands!
Let us pause in our flight to con-
-    sider
What  will   come  to a later   age
With  a labor "forever  decreasing,
And forever increasing the wage;
Each day will the hours be shorter,
Each day will the wages he more;
Each day will the labor be lighter,
Each day will they add  to their
store,
Till at last there will be no more
labor;
They will  loaf  and  will. rest  all
the" day,
With never  a  strike and nothing
To   do  but  to   draw their pay,
3Increased to  a sum so mighty
That  all  will be  millionaires,
With nobody working and no one
To   look   after   laftor   affairs.
The  world will  all go to  money,
And  Labor  will   be  so rare
That  the   rich  will   be   trying - to
- buy  it
With   the   money   they   have   to
spare;
The world will come to a standstill
And  live on  its  past  supply,
The man with   no   work  and  all
wages
Can't  find   anything   to " buy.
Oh,  say!  Won't  it   be  gay?

- Said-fto give the famous-actor his:
finest role in yeairs, ""The Great Man
Votes,'*- showing Friday and Saturday "at the Saline Theatre, presents
John Barrymore as a broken-down
wreck of a once famous scholar
who, through the love and resourcefulness of his two. children, again
becomes a great man.
Just imagine Jane Withers, with
a band of Mexican* outlaws, attempting to restore law and order
to an Aii^ona town and you will get
some idea of what a hilarious proceedings must go on in "The Arizona Wildcat," 20th Century-Fox
production which opens Sunday.
From all reports this is just about
the most exciting picture Jane has
ever   made.
The heated conflict between a
ship's physician and the chief engineer over the affections of a pretty nurse forms the basis of RKO
Radios "Pacific Liner," which co-
stars Victor McLaglen and Chester
Morris. McLaglen is cast as the
haSrd-driiving chief engineer who
rules over the vessel's engine room
while Morris plays the ship's doctor
and Wendy Barrie is the nurse.
This picture is on next Wednesday
and Thursday.
