every walk of life in California he has ever
occupied. He was pioneer of this State,

tegrity and perseverance. He has had the
good fortune in mercantile life to amass a
competency, and is man for mercantile in
tegrity not surpassed in the community in
which he has so long resided, nor in any COM
munity. He has never been the recipient of
any political office which was accompanied by
an emolument. Four years ago he was chosen
