It is now I colorful cosmopolitan city, the ')i'Il1CIp&I seaport of the Pacific 70zist. situated on a hilly peninsula, i. ranks high in scenic grandeur ind beauty. It was a. fort, a,Span- .-lt Mission and group of huts un- it I848 when gold was discovered tear Sacramento. .

The next year 02,000,000 of gold Ins exported. The shipping grew yy leaps and bountin, bringing -ecsels and men of every nation. this may recall the notable cruise at the brig "Fanny", sailing from frharlqttetown, with AD. Il'v'l.ng to captain, on November 12, 1849 irourid Cape Horn and reaching is destination 1 California on lllly 3, 1650. With n a few months itter landing, Captain Irving suc- rllmbed in San Francisco to cho- lera which was fatal to so many IL that time. Surviving the advert- rtirers on this expedition was Mr. James Coiledge Pope, one of the pioneer founders of the town of Summerslde.

Three Mile Tlaroughfsro

Market street, the great through- fare three miles long and one hundred and twent feet wide, practically divides t a city and, at its intersection with Geary and Kearney Streets, marks the chief business section with its many im- po.-.in.g structures. Two of the large dr'pB.'rI.nle.Il'i. stores have intrigu- .ng names -- "The White House" and "City of Paris."

On the eietremo rlortliaast is Telegraph Hill, upon which is Colt Tower - a memorial to Vol- uiiieer Firemen.-The glass en- closed observation gallery of this inner is five hundred and forty feet. above the waters of the Bay. where one has a panoramic view of the city. its bridges and Bay. Nob Hill was most exclusive dur- ing the 1860's and 1070's when the railway and mining kings built their homes there. Cable cars were invented in 1813 to climb this high lllll and stul remain as part of the Kalil. l:lrid.triaa-ks. Another land- mar a Bu-ry Bulduu, - My to the metropolis. As man.yu:s 591100.000 Plownlors in a single tear pass through its portals. An outstanding building is the wu- Memorial opera House, the only munlciin1ly,ovmed Opera House in America. The United Nations Or- ganization was born in San Fran- rism in 1945 and, within this beg. utilui edifice and the Vetera.ns' Memorial building alongside, the conferences were held. The chitin. town of this city has the largest settlement of Chinue outsido the Orient. The many quaint basaars, shops and cafes. its pegonda.-like structures which line thestreeh: the Si-mice foods. sorsoous silks, carv- NI IVOFY. teak and lacquer, which 3"! displayed in the windows, are most fascinating. After driving alone the funoiu Ocean Beach, il'lI.h its Popular recreational and nlmzmund region we vllted the i'ir.alteckei- zoo.

Famed Winter Garden

Near the west entrance to this park is the Cliff House which occupied the same site since 1858, (repeatedly being burned down and rebuilt) It is a public resort on a. rocky cliff overhanging the sea and from it one gets a close- up view oi the hundreds of sea lions in their natural habitat on the rocks nearby. These seals are legal residents and protected by State law. Near by is sutro Heights, the beautiful private grounds of the late Adolph sutro, but long ago opened to the pub- lie. The Sutro Baths and Museum, a structure covering three acres, contains one of the largest and finest enclosed baths and winter gardens of the world. It was un- usual to watch people swimming, while others were skating on an adjoining pond separated only by a glass wall. Among the many in- teresting exhibits in the Museum were the furniture and clothing used by Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thumb (furious midgets). A dimension picture "The Last Supper" was be- ing shown at the time of my visit.

On a lovely sight-seeing tour we drove around the University of California ground in Berkeley, on to lovely Lake Merritt a sanctuary for thousands of wild birds. to a new section of Walnut Creek which is rapidly building up, past Pled- mori-' palatial homes through Oakland's industrial and down- town section, to Albany where a inmmtain looms in the background, through El Cerrito to Richmond, the oil and industrial city, by auto- mobile ferry in San Quentin past the State Penltentlttry, through Mill River and other interesting points to cross the Golden Gate Bridge.

Northeast of san Francisco is Sacramento, the capital of Call- iornia, a more level section. The Sacramento Valley is a country of grain and fruit farms - the great- est deciduous fruit region in Cali- fornia. Of historical interest is the monument of John Augustus Butter, I. Swiss military officer, who was allowed to erect a fort oh the then frontier of the pre- sent slte of Sacramento. Sutton Port, a rqyroduction of which with a historical museum in Ft. suttsr Park, is one of the important sights of the city.-It was on the direct line of overland immigration af- ter the discovery oi gold in 1848 on Sutter's land and the old land- mark of California where gold was first found,-sutter's Lumber Mill. Within a wooded park of thirty-five aches stands the beauti- ful State Capitol.

Old Minion Trail

A beautiful motor drive along El Cunlno Real (The King's Hlglvwey). the original mission trail, named in honor oi King Oerlos of Spain. who was instru- mental in colonizing California, brought us to Stanford University in Psio Alto. The Memorial Chapel is world-famed for its colorful mosaic facade. This University was founded in 1886 by Leland and Jane Lothrop Stanford as a memorial to their only child, Leland Jun- ior, who died shortly before reach- ins college age and it was built and endowed to protect the con- tinuing growth of the west. The total area is nine thousand acres with fifteen hundred acres de- voted iu the campus proper. The Hoover Tower, with its gift of s carillon of thirty-five bells cast in Belgium. was dedicated in 1941. Ex-President Herbert Hoover is a graduate of this University.

Travelling north from Palo Alto we visited the Peninsula citlu of Burlingame. San Mateo, Hlllsbor- ough with its million dollar estates, which are now being sub-divided. The beautiful trees of every de- crlptlon and the lovely flowers bor- dering the highway made an un- usually pretty picture. Another point of interest was the terminus of the Hetch Aqueduct which carries the water through, the mountains to Pigss Temple, where it is purified before flowing into spring valley Lake to be used by San Francisco and other peninsula cities. The engineer was Herman schussler (1842-1019) and the lettering on the Temple reads "If you seek his i -'. look around you."

The next point of interest was Half Moon Bay on the Pacific Coast to which place we drove over a mountainous winding road.

state Park

Travelling south by way of King's Mountain we came to Big Basin Redwood State Park. an area of ten thousand acres. The magnifi- cent towering giants found only in California are one of the major at- tractions of the state and ar the oldest living things on the face of the earth. on display at Big Basin was a section of the oldest rocord-twenty-two hundred years old and nine feet in diam:-icr. Twenty-three miles farther on we stopped to visit friends in Bsnta Cruz. but en route we went through Boulder creek to Braukdale. where we found one of the most alluring retreats -the world famous Brookdale Lodge in the foothills of the Santa crua Mountains.

Robert Ripley has referred to it in his "Believe it it: not" and its alivei-tlseiheiit reads "in all the world nothing like it can be found."

The restaurant is free high, com- bletely glaued in, and through which a mountain brook splashes and sings. we walked over the high bridge to gets down at the we-
