ramento in the night, and reach
ed Oakland pier afr 4 o'clock Sun
day morning fifteen hours be
hind time. Four o'clock here
means seven o'clock in Alumna
three hours ditTereuce in time.
Oakland is a city of 200,000, just
across the bay from San Francis
co. Berkeley and Alameda join
Oakland on the east side of the
bay. They have large ferry boats
that cross to San Francisco. The
bay is about four miles wide. Sin
Francisco is being robuilt. The
earthquake and fire had left it in
a bad way. The climate is line in win
ter (lowers blooming all the time.
The summer is cool, but no rain, and
it nets dusty and the grass die ex
cept where there is irrigation. The
palms anil the Howers are grand. The
parks are fine in winter.
One thing that t enjoyed so much
was seeing the Meet come through the
Golden Gate entering San Francisco
bay, Muy 2lth. I went with Lincoln
and fumily. There were about IhMI in
the vessel "Templo Dorr." They an
chored in the hay. and we had a good
view of the battleships.
While in Oakland, I went to the big
tree grove near Santa Cruz They are
large, but not as large as the ones in
Calaveres county. I will give the size
of two or three. One General Free
raont -Is MO feet high, 71 feet in cir
cumference; (iiant, 300 feet high, (Mi
feet circumference, with "5 feet break
otT the top: General Grant, Hft feet
high, 55 feet in circumference, 1H feet
diameter. I reached Oakland October
28th, and left June 2th just eight
months from the day 1 got there. 1
came fr om !San Francisco to San Diego
in the steamship Santa liosa. We stop
ped two hours in Santu ltarhara. We
reached there at 5 o'clock in the morn
ing -too early for street cars: but
there were conveyances ready to take
the passengers sight-seeing. I spent
the time very pleasantly. We went to
the old mission up in the tower
through the building, and saw the
large stone water tank, where the In
dians came to do their washing in old
en times; then around over town to
places of interest, and back fifteen
minutes before the boat started. The
next stop was at Itodondo beach, three
hours. I walked quite a distance
through the town. The next stop was
at San Fedro, about 22 miles from Los
Angeles then San Diego. We left
San Francisco Sunday morning at !:
80 and reached San Diego Tuesday
evening at 5 o'clock. I enjoyed the
voyage on the Facillc.
Since I came to San Diego I have
been out to National City, and Para
dise Valley to see the orange groves,
lemon groves and apricots; out to
"Old San Diego" one day; at t)ceon
leach a grand drive; over to t'oro
nada Beach, and to see the Coronada
Hotel, which contains seven hundred
rooms for guests, and is owned by
Spreckles. The Tented City Is on the
Island too several hundred tents.
San Diego is a very pretty place
The climate here is much warmer, as
it is so much farther south not fur
from Mexico. I expect to remain here
mhii time yet. I think I will go down
into Mexico before I go back. 1 may
tell you something about that later.
As mv letter is nuile lengthy, 1
stop for this time.
