debt of gratitude which he said the people
of California owed to the Senator, not only
as a statesman, but as citizen and philan-
thropist. The university which is being

a standing memorial, which future genera

the occasion of a reception complimentary
TO the senior Senator of the State and
also its Congressman. The speaker was
pleased that over forty counties of the State
| were represented around the festal board
on this occasion. He also felt sure that
those thousands who were at home
were with the spirit of the occasion.
The last election, the speaker said, was
historic one. 1t proved that the people OF
this country are in favor of protecting their
own industries. In conclusion, Mr. Estee
referred to the members of Congress, who,
he said, were too well known as was SEN
ator Stanford, by their acts in the interests
of the people to need any eulogy.
Our Country was the next sentiment,
and was responded TO by General w. H. L.
Barnes, who made patriotic and effective
speech.
He said that man has never jorrneyed
in foreign countries who will ever forget
his native land. Wherever he may have
gone, still in his heart there is tender
emotion for the place where he was born.
How little we appreciate the greatness of
our nation with her population of over 60 :
600, 600 people, he said. II is the grandest
country on which Gods sun ever shone
The American nation is the mistress of
prosperity and queen of the world in peace
and in war. He concluded BY prophesying
that it will not be long before every Terri
tory will be represented among the stars on
the flag.

deafening applause. Before responding to
the toast the Senator said he would like TO
say few words to thank his many friends
for making him one of their distinguished
guests. He could not express how happy
be felt to see such a gathering. IN response
