THE n. S, c, ",

The fifteenth annual session OF the
Native Sons of the Golden West, which
begins in this city on next Monday, will
be memorable one in many respects.
1t is the first session ever held in
Southern California, and the parlors in
Los Angeles and immediate vicinity
propose that it shall eclipse all previous
celebrations. A royal welcome should
be rendered the visitors. The business
men promise to decorate their stores in
honor of the occasion, and there is every
reason to believe that Los Angeles will
present gala appearance during the
week.
1t was principally owing to the grand
display made by Ramona parlor OF Los
Angeles at the celebrated Admission
day festivities at San Francisco, in 1890,
that Los Angeles secured the session
this year. The Native Sons all over
California were so pleased with the
splendid manner in which the Ramona
parlor entertained the general public at
the Baldwin hotel that Los Angeles
was appointed as the place for the
holding of the coming session. There
will be sixteen grand officers, 275 dele
gates and 150 alternates participating in
the doings of the annual session. Five
hundred delegates, members OF the
order and their friends are expected
from the northern part of the state.
The parors in Southern California will
be strongly represented and Los An
geles will have to entertain fully 1000
visitors.
Next Sunday afternoon special train
of Pullmans will arrive from San Fran
cisco. The great majority Of the dele
gates and their fIiends will come on
R. F. Del Vale, w. F. Nordholdt, An.
thony Schamm, j.. G. Foy. A. Ramish
and /. Laventhal will meet the visitors
at Tehachapi. They will go bountifully
supplied with fruits and other Southern
California products. 1t has been sug
guested that delegation of Los An.
gses young ladies should meet the train
at Burbank with boquets of roses and
flowers.
At the Arcade depot the guests will
be met by Ramona and Los Angeles
parlors and the Douglas military band
and escorted to their hotels. Grand
President r. M. Fitzgerald will call the
grand session together on Monday morn
ing. That night a reception will be
given at the Los Angeles theater. Ad-
dresses of welcome will be made and an
interesting programme will be carried
out.
There will be grand parade on Tues
day morning. The Seventh regiment
will in all probability turu out, and all
uniformed societies have been invited
to participate. On Wednesday morning
at 8 O'Clock the visitors will be taken
over the Kite-shaped track. A
short stop will be made at Pasadena.
The people of San Bernardino will
have two and half hours in which to
entertain the Native Sons, and that city
proposes to do itself pround. An elegant
lunch will be served and the visitors will
be royalty entertained. Another stop
will be made at Riverside. 1t is to be
hoped that the people up there will show
the visitors the far-famed Magnolia ave-
nue.. A stop will also be made at Red
lands, the rising young city Of Southern
California. Redlands has parlor and
they will doubtless give the northerners
a chance to sample their juicy oranges.
The concluding session will be held
Friday morning, and there will be a
grand banquet in the evening. 1t is on
the tapis to have a dance one night at
either Redondo or Santa Monica. The
Douglas military band will accompany
all excursions. In the meantime COM
mittee consisting of Stephen M. White,
Eugene Maxwell, R. F. Del Vale, F.
Sabichi, Mayor Hazard, w. H. Work
man, are out soliciting subscriptions 30
that the visitors to Los Angeles can be
entertained in style and manner be-
fitting the Angel City.
