The Grand parlor OF the Native Sons
of the Golden West assemblies here on
Monday, April 25th, in Turnverein hall
Grand President r. M. Fitzgerald ol
Oakland will call the session to order al
10 am.
The local committees having in charge
the entertainment of the delegates have
been working assiduously during the
last two or three weeks in perfectine
arrangements. and have secured accom-.
modations for the 300 delegates and the
many guests who are attracted here on
account of this meeting.
1t is the first time that the Grand
parlor has been held in Southern Cali
fornia, and as it will be the irst visit OF
many Native Sons who are born north
of Tehachepi to this part OF the state, it
was decided that their stay it this city
should be made pleasant and memor-
able one.
Among the amusements planned for
the entertainment OF the visitors, it is
proposed to take the delegates and their
friends on an excursion over the kite
shaped track. General Manager X. H.
Wade of the Southern Pacific Railroad
company has placed at the disposal of
the committee in charge special train.
San Bernardino has asked the excur-
sionists to lunch, and will give barbe-
cue; among the other attraction0 will
be grand banquet, for which at least
500 covers will be laid.
The delegates will arrive here on q
special train on Sunday, April oath, at
A p. M. All the bands OF music of this
city have been hired, and will be at the
reception at the depot. The streets of
the city will present holiday attire,
and many business houses will be pro-
fusely decorated. 1t will be indeed a
gala week, and will attract hundreds Of
strangers to the city. The hotels will
be taxed to their utmost and many pri.
vate houses will have to be called upon
to accommodate the visitors.
Headquarters have been established
at the Office of Anthony Schwamm, 2O6
North Spring street, where daily meet
ings are being held by the different COM
mittees. Ramona parlor has raised
among its members very near $500, and
Los Angeles parlor, which was reorgan-
lied with large membership, will also
raise $500. OF course, the expenses be-
ing very large and heavy, about $500
more is needed, and the finance commit
tee, consisting of S. M. White, E. D.
Gibson, r. F. del Vale, Eugene Max
we'll and others, will call on the mer-
chants for additional subscriptions dur
ing this week. Liberal subscriptions
have been made by everyone who was
asked, and among the subscriptions the
following are the heaviest: SIN. White,
500; E. d. Gibson, 500; j. J..
Watson, $50; w. F. Nordholt, $50;
and many other s25 subscriptions. Sub
scribers and citizens of Los Angeles may
rest assured that all moneys collected
will be expended for the purpose of ad-
vertising this city and creating good inn
pressions of the hospitality OF Cali
fornians of which the members from the
northern part of the state have never
had the opportunity of enjoying in
Southern California. AS the order is
composed of rising young men and the
most prominent sons OF California, it
behooves the people to give them a
sgrand welcome, and every merchant in
the city should either subscribe to the
fund or decorate his store at least, as
this will be perhaps the only opportunity
for years to come to entertain such a
prominent BODY of CalifOrnians.
