THE REASON WHY 
the tourist, traveler, or invalid returns to California is because 
its attractions are greater than those of Europe. Its climate is 
equable, its hotels unsurpa.ssecl iu inagiiificence. The ease and 
comfort with which its resorts, as famous as those of the Old 
World, are reached by that great system of rail and .steam.ship 
lines, the Southern Pacific, extending from the Gulf to the 
Pacific, make it readily accessible. Why travel half around the 
world, to Switzerland, for instance, when the scener\- in the 
Yoseniite and other portions of the State is so much grander, 
and when its valleys are likened to a vast bed of roses, varied 
with every hue and color? There is no portion of the Alps 
that surpasses the magnificent and awe-inspiring Sierras. 
There can be no extravagant description of these beauties of 
nature. The Hay of Naples, in all its loveliness, is not a whit 
more beautiful than man\’ resorts on the Pacific Coast. See the 
wonders of your own land first, and be able to know whereof 
you .speak. If you desire information about its health and 
plea.sure resorts, its scenery, l outes, or ticket rates, apply to any 
representative of the Southern Pacific for free illustrated pani- 
plilets, maps, and time tables. For additional information call 
or write to S. P\ B. Morsk, G. P. A., Southern Pacific Com- 
pany, New Orleans, I,a.
