iVe were met at the train by Mr.
Kotchum, the representative of the
Southern railway, to whom Col.
It. W. Hunt had wired that we
vere coming. Mr. Ketchum was
cindncss itself in giving us infornation
and directing us to the train
or Ban Pedro, twenty-seven miles
iway, whence a steamer sails for
>anta Catalina island, twenty-nine
niles out into the Pacifie ocean.
This island, twenty-two miles long,
vas bought by Banning Bros, for a
hcep ranch, and back in the inerior
of the island there are tfiousmds
upon thousands of these valua)le
animals, but it was found that
h(jre was a cove in it facing toward
he east, a direction from which
torms never come, and protected
in all sides by towering mountain
K'aks, so that the calm waters of
his little bay arc never ruffled.
These waters are so blue and clear
hat the bottom can plainly be seen
ven at depths of fifty feet and
jreatcr. Upon this bottom grow
ill manner of sea ferns, sea heather,
oral moss and iodine kelp, some

tvcry hue from deep gold to brilliant
>luc, aud most beautiful of all the
ilectric fish, gold with Hashing
purple spots on its lxxly. Big fish
ind little fish, and myriads of them
an lie seen in these wonderful maihc
gardens. So wonderful is this
light that a colony has grown up in
his cove, and winter and summer
ts waters arc dotted with small
;raft, propelled by oars, gasoline ot
laphtha. Bathing, too, is very
popular, and boat loads of small
x>ys come to meet incoming steamers,
asking that coins be thrown
>ut, for which they will dive, putting
the money in their mouths.
These l>oys have been burned brown
is negroes.
To such proportions has the enterprise
grown that Banning Bros,
nave been offered $8,000,000 for
the property. They hold, however,
for $20,000,000. The trip to Catalina
and back over the smooth
waters of the peaceful ocean is delightful.
These waters are much
bluer than those of the Atlantic,
though a delicate green near the
diore and are a great deal more

In the evening we went alxnit
town, and everyone was struck with
the brilliant lighting of Broadway.
Clusters of lights, one large one
surrounded by six smaller ones, arc
placed at frequent intervals on each
side of the street, there being 98
lights to each block, and the effect
is l)eautiful. Mr. M. M. Clark,
who holds an important position
with the Los Angeles Electric Co.,
which by the way has one of the
most splendid plants in the world,
looked us up and took many of the
party to Chester Square, the most
l)cautiful spot in the city, entered
through gateways of lofty palms,
and surrounded by the houses of
millionaires. Here plant life .flourishes
with tropical luxuriance, and
no wagons, nor even carriages are
allowed to enter. He also took us
to his home, and gave each a sprig
from the lemon and orange trees
growing in his back yard, on each
nf worn nlnatnra linvinn

fruit. Mr. Clarke is a nephew of
Editor Appclt, t>f the "Manning
Times," and is a native of Lake
City. He tried to prevail on us to
remain over another day and put a
private ear on the electric line at
our disposal, should we do so. This
would have given us a very beautiful
trip of many miles to surrounding
points of interest, and we regretted
to be compelled to decline.
Leaving Los Angeles about 9
o'clock on Tuesday morning, we
reached Santa Barbara just after
luncheon. Here a special car, for
which Col. Aull had arranged, met
us at the station and took us up to
the Potter hotel, from the roof
gardens of which a beautiful view
of the Pacific ocean and of the
mountains, rising almost from the
edge of the water, and, of the city
could be obtained. The car then
took us to the Santa Barbara Mis

thirsty traveler.
Nowhere are the benefits derived
from irrigation so clearly to be seen
as here where short stretches of absolute
desert are sandwiched between
gardens of fairy-like loveliness. All
the way to Los Angeles we ran
through a valley which draws its
supply of water from the mountains
on both sides of it. Great water
companies are formed in which the
land owners are stockholders to irigate
the country, and when a man
buys a piece of land, he buys the
water rights with it. Only during
certain hours is he allowed to let
Ids water run, but this is enough to
change the desert into a wilderness
>f beauty. In this country where
ain comes only in the winter time
ind then in Anril nhnwora
armors absolutely control their
reasons by this system of irrigation.

sion, over a hundred years old,
where Franciscan monks, who
seemed to be of Spanish origin,
guard interesting relics and ring
chimes from ancient bells made by
hand, and still conduct a school.
The leather thongs which originally
supported these bells arc still there,
but are reinforced by iron hoops.
Then l>ack through the town by
another way we went to the hotel.
This is one of the most beautiful
to be found anywhere. It has 800
rooms and accommodates 1,000
guests. In winter it is full and in
summer it has 400 or 500 tourists.
The grounds area miracle of beauty,
and the building is a striking specimen
of Spanish architecture. This
hotel owns its own dairy farm,
electric light plant, pigeon, sheep
and cattle farms. At "about half

the service was all that could l>e

noted bathing place, but to anyone
who has seen the beautiful l>caches
at the Isle of Palms, Wrightsvillc or
Virginia Beach, it does not look attractive.
It is rocky and abrupt,
and the water is full of seaweed.
The eonsequonce was that only two
of the party ventured in.
We were to have been in Santa
Barbara at 8 o'clock l^st evening,
but the train was nine hours late,
and at midday Wednesday we are
still 200 miles from San Francisco,
where wc should have been at 0
o'clock this morning. This will cut
us out of one of our three days stay
at the "Golden Gate," but as it is
the first delay of any consequence,
we could hardly afford to grumble
al>out it. H. C. H.
Miseducating the Negro.
A dispatch from Saratoga, New
York, to the New York Herald says:
"Booker T. Washington's appearance
at dinner today in the great
dining-room of the United States
If - A I * '* *
iiouu caused a mild sensation
among the diners. Mr. Washington
was the guest of John Wanamaker,
former Postmaster-General,
and acted as escort for Mrs. Barclay
Warburton, Mr. Wanamaker's
daughter, while Mr. Wanamaker
walked to the table with J. R. E.
Roberts. As they walked down the
long line every eye was directed
upon the distinguished negro educacator
and the former Cabinet ofliccr.
Comparatively few of those present
recognized cither of them, and there
was a general buzz, of comment and
.craning of necks. Mr. Washington
l...~ a! A: a ^
in^uui?Ai ??vix> turuu iimcH uj-uay,
first in the Presbyterian Church,
then in the Baptist Church and late
in the evening in the African Methodist
Church."
This report, if correct, indicates
that Mr. John Wanamakcr is not
behind his partner, Mr. Robert C.
Ogden, in miseducating the negro.
It may be recalled that Mr. Robert
C. Ogden is president of the Conference
for Education in the South,
and of its children, the General Educational
Board and the Southern
Education Board, the active agents
in a movement which claims to
have at its practical command the
machinery of the public-school sys-1
tern of the South. Booker Washington
and a Connecticut man were
the first field agents of that movements
Further comment is hardly
necessary beyond the suggestion
that the infiuence of the three sermons
preached by Booker at Saratoga
is as nothing compared with
the effect upon his race of his encouraging
such as John Wanamakcr
and Robert C. Ogden in their
social fallacies.
