Newspaper Page TextA GLIMPSE OE SAN ERANCISCO. What The South Carolina Editors Saw While There. Eine Scenery on the Way Erom Santa Barbara to the California Metropolis. On Board Private Pullman Cur Starlight. August Kith?Special: Leaving Santa Barbara several hours behind our schedule time the trip up the Coast Range Mountains to San Francisco was made during daylight and we saw some magnificent scenery as our train, druwn by three locomotives, made tts way along curves so winding as they went up tho mountain siil? that tur below us could he se?" the track upon which we had come. We reached San Francisco eaily in the evening and were soon out on the streets of this best known of California towns. San Francisco is, with the exception of Chicago, the best, or worst, us you choose to look ut it, "unionized" city in the ccnntry. We hud the fact impressed on us when we went out to get a shave und found that every barber shop closed promptly at 8 o'clock, and that after that hour one could not possibly get the attention of a tonsoriul artist until the next morning. If you talk to a utiiuu man nbout this, he will tell you that while in individual cases it may be provoking to reach a first class hotel and find the curtain to the barbershop drawn down at S in the evening and no admittance, that everybody soon "gets wise" and gets his shave in the prescribed hours. The non-union man and tourist vill tell y>u its simply a nuisance. OVERCOATS AND \VK\PA. It was in "Frisco" that we lirj-t had use for our overcoats and wraps, and found them very comfortable, though to an K isterner it was strange to see me luuies in me .-nupping districts ou an August day dressed in furs and kid gloves and the men wearing overcoats. We were told that it had been colder here in July than it was in Feburary and we certainly found tlie weather very much like that of early March. Through the courtesy of the California promotion committee, an association formed for the purpose of advertising the advantages of the Gulden State and more particularly of San Francisco and its suburbs, the press party were given a trip across the bay to Oakland, a city of over 125,000 people, with many fine residences and much business. From the top of one of its skyscrapers we had a fine view of the surrounding country and of San Francisco Bay. From Oakland we went over to Berkely, the home of the California State University, and through the pr?-tty grounds of that fine institution The University is said to be the only educational corporation in this country possessing an amphitheatre. It is the gift of William Randolph Hearst, co-ts thousands of dollars, has practically perfect acoustic properties and is said to be an almost exact reproduction of the ancient Romun structure. Its tiers of seats are made of concrete and their capacity is 8jmmi people. Many of the annual class exercises and the amphitheatre is said to fill admirably the purposes for which it was built. At the inutun/ia nt \f i'0 W on rut tKo ?yi At Kor nf William Randolph Hearst, a prize of ten thousand dollars free to all competitors, for the plans for ideal university buildings and grounds. The prize was won hy a Frenchman and work will soon be commenced in accordance with his ideas, which, when completed, it is claimed will give California the most beautiful educational site in the country. From Berkeley our party was taken over to Alameda, an exclusively residence suburb of San Francisco and one of its most convenient and prettiest. It has its own association for advertising its merits to visitors and the gentlemen of this organization were zealous in their attentions to us. A TRIP TO CHINATOWN". Of course no visit to "Frisco" would be complete without a trip to Chinatown and under t lie guidance of three detectives kindly furnished by the chief of police, we made a tour of tho Chinese quarter There ure said to he more than HO 000 Chir.eao in San Francisco and it was easy to believe after our visit. We shw the Chinese theatre, where the play lasts for weeks. We saw real Chinese restaurants, opium joints and stores where the most artistic and beautiful work of Chinese artisans are offered for sale. We saw crowds of little Chinese children dressed in native garb and the Chinese men wearing toeir pig tails hanging down their hacks, one old fellow in particular having a pig tail which reached almost to his feet and of which he was evidently quite proud. A policeman to whom I talked said that the Chinese gave very little trouble and tliht he would rather have a dozen Chinese to deal with than one Jap. The Japs here, where they are better known, do not seem to have made a very favorable impression. The second day of our stay the promotion committee had arranged a trip to the Mare Island Xavy Yard, and taking a fine steamer, one of the fastest of the dozen fastest bouts on the hay, we ran down thirty miles to the navy yard. The route taken gave us a splendid view of all the various points of interest in the harbor, including the far famed (lolden (late There is a little publication issued by one of the numerous tourist lines in "Frisco" which tells in the most picturesque and glowing words of the COTTON JUICE VERSUS CORN JUICE (Continued from 1st page.) 5th.

It ppeaks of San Francisco glowing ia the sunlight like a jeweled queen, of Oakland smiling in consciousness of its beauty, of the Neapolitan feluccas and occasional Chinese junks threading their way across the sun tipped waters of the hay and of gigantic ocean liners in n k III ^ innir hihw mtijesuu w ty tip to the crowded piers. Now this is interesting tind in its lavish use of word", an Oriental word picture, hut it. isn't Sun Francisco Bay as seen by the Press Association, not I by several. a com) ko<?. In the first place sun kissed San Frur.cNco was wrapped in a cold fog and smiling Oakland couldn't he s?en for the same obstruction. It was so cold the ladies, though protected by wraps an-l ra'n coats, couldn't stay on deck and it whs not until we were well on our way to Mare Island that we ran into a sunbelt and from there on the trip was really quite pretty. As f< r the commerce of S in Francisco that was chiefly impressive through its absence. Trie Chinese junks were so occasional that they kept entirely out of sight and the majestic ocean liners were evidently tied up safely at their wharves. There were many sailing ships at anchor, hut steam cruft, outside of ferry boats were as absent as from some harbors we know of and wish they were not. As for Neapolitan feiiuccas, we couldn't say we didn't see them because we wouldn't h-ve known thern if we had, but we did see one small boat with a queer shaped sail and we gladly gave that the benefit of the doubt and culled it a fellucca. It. may be that San Francisco Bay is so large a sheet of water and its anchorage places so innnv that in this way the amount of its shippirg does not appear, but I very certainly its commerce as seen j from the bay is disappointing in the j extreme The cities up the coast, i like Seattle and Portland, claim they are diverting the trade of the California metropolis and this may be true. THE XAVV YARD At Mare Island we were met by Admiral McOalla, who is in charge of the navy yard, and several other officers stationed there, and were very courteously treated, being shown all tlie points of interest. We saw the Russian war ship Lena which has been interned at the yard for several months, and which will remain here until the close of the Russian-Japanese war. We also saw in the dry dock two little sub-marine boats, which are said to be quite successful in making descents and remaining under water, and the monitor Wyoming, which recently injured one of her turrets and will be laid up for some months for repairs. The gallant Lieut. Victor Blue who had come down to the hospital at the yard only .. A:kl?

The officers ut the yard asked about the Charleston Navy Yard and were evidently glad to hear of the progress being made on the work. Golden (rate Park, a most extensive and beautiful pleasure ground, occupied our attention after our return from Mare Island and then ClifT House and Seal Rick. The letter,' as suggested by its nume, the home of numbers of seats, and the former a large wooden hotel on a rocky eminence a hundred feet above the sea, from which a tine view of the harbor is gotten. Another point of interest visited was the Palace of Arts Restaurant, where paintings valued at nearly half a million dollars are displayed and j wim-n is visiren ny many lourists, j both men a ml women, and not to be j forgotten was the Richelieu, a little bar at the corner of Kearney and Market streets, where Rome of the male members of the party were most hospitably treated by its genial and j courteous proprietor.

One bright moonlight night last April, it being full moon, and it was so beautiful and the air so calm, I concluded I would ride to the moon on my bike. I started at a lively speed, and as I proceeded on the way I would gradually rise in elevation. After reaching far up into the sky it was still calm and beautiful, nothing in view but the moon and stars. On ward and upward I sped and the nearer I approached the planet moon with less brilliancy it shown, and before I reached her I did not see her nor anything else, but it was light. Onward I went and finally I came to land which was on the moon's surface. I got into a public road which (Facts Are Stu Uniform excellent quality century has steadily increase!

It was the finest country I ever saw, level and large pasture grounds on both sides of the road and large herds of cattle and sheep grrzing. On I went for some distance, and I saw a large house in front of me. but before I reached it I saw a large flock of sheep to my left and a shepherd on guard, and as he was the | first man I had seen since I had been ion the moon, I approached him with caution, for he was a strange looking | fellow, his hair was down his back, his beard was long and up to his eo es, his clothing consisted o? a loose blouse with u belt buckled around his waist, and under that belt he had knives, spears and scimitars and a javelin in his hand. I ventured up to him and the following conversation took place: ''*look morning friend!" ' Good morning my friend, what country is this?" He said, "Where have yon been that you don't know what country this is?" "Why I live down in America, that portion known as the United States." VT uvto AO Vital; ( "Why it is in tho western hemisphere in tho north temperate zone. We have five zones, two temperate, two frigid and one torrid." After explaining to him as well as I could about tho zones and climate, he said he would bet the best sheep h? had that I had no zone in my country big enough to hold all this earth. While this conversation was going on something walked up close to and around me, looking at me fiercely, and I eyed him at the same time. He stood up erect about four feet high, his body was short, his legs were long, had feet like a coon, but covered with feathers instead of hair, his head was as large as a half gallon pot, his bill was 8 or 0 inches long. I asked th-i man what that was and he said that it was called the Cooforhim (Coo-for-him ) We shepherds raise them to help us mind our ilock, and when we have a sheep that wishes to go astray, which is often the case, wo send this fellow o ff ar him hio Kill 1 - ?.vV. ii.? *VU|^ will uau (jcuunaiu through his wool to tho skin and that sheep comes back and never runs away any more. But here is some> thing I want to show you, and turn ng to our left we walked off some ten or twelve steps and there was a round hole in the ground about three feet in diameter or large enough to admit a ">0 gallon barrel with all ease. This hole liked about S or 10 inches being full of water which was boiling. I asked the man what that was, and he said tho water was not hot but warm. He said he found some snake eggs in there and he had poured water on them to hatch them, and I think they are about to hatch now as the water is bubbling, and while I stood looking there come up a great big bubble and out came the snakep. I turned around quickly and started to climb up a bush nearby and a twig broke and down I fell. At that time 1 fell off the bed on the Moor. Now you see I had a good sweet ride to the moon in my imagination, but I had a good hard thump in realty when I found myself getting up off the tioor, feeling somewhat ashamed ?it was only a dream.
