Under the chaperonage of the officers | and members of Islam Temple, five hun- | dred of the visiting Mystic Shriners made a pilgrimage yesterday morning to the | Cliff House, the ocean beach and Golden | Gate Park. Although the morning was ather gloomy and an immense fog bank overhung the ocean and obscured the beauties of the Golden Gate, the Nobles and t ladies had an enjoyable time and were delighted with what they saw. After almost a week of continual festiv- ties, a trip through the bracing air to the ocean proved a very refreshing diversion. The caravan started from the Palace Hotel at 10 o’clock. It was under the su- pervision of Noble Thomas Morton, treas- urer of Islam Temple, and he proved him- self an able. chaperon. The cavalcade wended its way through many of the principal strets of the city, affording the visitors an oportunity to view some of the stately mansions en route. ‘When the caravan reached the Cliff | House the visitors passed a pleasant hour in walking along the sea shore or in vis- iting Sutro Baths, where are the remains of old Ben Butler, the leviathan who used to rule supreme over the seals at Seal Rock. Most of the visitors had never be- fore seen a seal, and the immense size of Old Ben somewhat astonished them. At the Clff House Islam Temple had LD CRUSHED BY HEAY TRUCK Lloyd Nutter, 6 years of age, son of Ira J.

Such was the decision announced .by tihe three judges last night at the con- cert in Mechanics’ Pavilion. The decision, judging from the acclaim with which it was received, was evidently a popular one. The judges awarded the second pri to Aladdin Patrol of Columbus, Ohio third prize to Moolah Patrol of St. Lous. Mo., and fourth prize to Ararat Patrol of Kansas City, Mo. After announcing the names of the win- ners the judges requested. each patrol to present themselves before the judges’ stand in order that the .prizes might be distributed. El Jebel received, as first prize, a magnificent. picture of the Cali- fcrnia big trees and also a loving cup. EI Jebel E‘emnle came to this city headed by its own band, and during its stay here has won consfderable popularity. When the El Jebel Patrol marched up to re- ceive its reward it was given a round of hearty applause. The other prizes con sisted of loving cups and smaller pictures of the big trees. After awarding the prizes to the four wirners Charles L. Field announced that Islam Temple had decided to give trophies to Al Malaikah Fatrol of Los Angeles and to Zuhrah Patrol of Minneapolis, Minn., as a testimonial to the excellent discipline which these teams displayed in the drill. Al Malalkah was given & hand- scme loving cup, and Zuhrah a pic- ture of the California big trees, that the Skriners might carry back to their homes in Minnesota a memory of tHe State's wonderful resources. After the award of the prizes El Jebel and Ararat patrols gave exhibition drills, which were en- Joyed by the spectators. ‘When the band opened the programme with the overture “William Tell” not a seat was vacant in the immense hall.

A Vast Acreage of Most Productiva Agricultural and Valuable 0il Lands for Sale. Your pick of every other square mile of my entire holding of eighteen square miles of land in Coalhila Valley, San Diego County, Califor- i also acr the valley from miles northwest of flc, for $16,000; be- ing exactly a square league of land, or 5760 acres at less than $3 per acre—all of it agri~ cultural; half of it oil. All of these lands are just south from the Indio settlements, altogether watered by arte- sian wells, and already famous for the earliest | production of grapes and melons of superior quality and unprecedented yield, so welk as for its date palms and the more ordinary farm _ and garden growthe. | They are also immediateiy north of- the GREAT IMPERIAL SETTLEMENTS, which are watered by the largest irrigation system in the United States, taking from the never-fail- ing Colorado, at Hanlon's, below Yuma, the richest silt-carrying flow of water in the world. Sixteen square miles of this remarkable acre- age is & level plain of the deepest and richest of silt deposit soil, far below the level of the sea, with a double source of irrigation, being both below the Colorado and within this ampie drtesian belt. It will produce the best of all Varieties of fruits, the cereals, sorghum, millet, and is ome of the finest known. aifalfa flelds, capable of an annual yield of 12 tons ta the acre of a selling value of $5 per ton, and the climate, although warm, is unexcelled. The Imperial Settlements have demonstrated that crops will yield the farmer $60 per acre annually, and the Indio Settlements $130 per acre as a year's crop in melons.
