Scenic Excursions 

 one passes through regions rich in fruit and within 

 a stone's throw of the mission-ruins of San Juan 

 Capistrano. 



The Papama-California Exposition at San Diego 

 in 1915 emphasizes the products and development 

 of the Southwest and especially the archaeology of 

 the region. The Exposition grounds cover 615 acres 

 on the west side of Balboa Park. This park con- 

 tains, all told, 1400 acres, and lies almost in the 

 center of the city. 



All transcontinental excursion tickets during 

 1915 will be made to include this trip from Los 

 Angeles to San Diego if so desired. 



One of the most interesting trips about San 

 Diego is that to Point Loma, made preferably by 

 automobile or sight-seeing auto. This trip includes 

 the Theosophical Institution with the Raja Yoga 

 College and Aryan Memorial Temple, and the U. S. 

 Wireless Station. From the old Spanish light-house 

 at the end of the point a fine view is to be secured 

 of the Quarantine Station and Fort Rosecrans below 

 the point, and the harbor and city of San Diego. 



La Jolla, with sea-beach caves and rocks of much 

 interest, is reached by an interurban steam railway. 

 The Scripps Institution for Biological Research, at- 

 tached to the University of California, with a 

 museum of marine life, is situated two miles up the 

 coast from the town of La Jolla. 



Typical adobe buildings of the days of the 

 Spanish regime and other relics are preserved in 

 Old Town, reached by street car from this city. The 

 Mission of San Diego, founded in 1769 is located in 

 the San Diego River Valley north of the city. 



Automobile tours are arranged to include Tia 

 Juana just across the Mexican boundary line, re- 

 turning by way of the Coronado peninsula. Hotel 

 del Coronado and the Coronado Tent City may also 

 be reached directly from San Diego by ferry con- 

 necting with street cars. 



Fishing and excursion trips may be taken to the 

 group of rocky Coronado Islands, sixteen miles 

 south of Point Loma. 



San Diego County possesses many fine automo- 

 bile roads. Stages lead to mountain resorts and 

 other points of interest. Among these is the Im- 

 perial Valley, on the Colorado Desert side of the 

 southern Coast Range Mountains. 



Hawaiian Islands. Steamers of several lines 

 connect the Hawaiian Islands with San Francisco 

 (sailing time in either direction about six days.) 

 Among these lines are the American-Hawaiian 

 Steamship Co., the Matson Navigation Co., the
