ting up collection 1t would continue the
work and have museum of California
historical curiosities that pesterity would
cherish. At present the most pretentious
collection is in the Pioneers museum.

Owing to the short notice given the at
tendance of representatives of Native
Sons parlors outside the city will not be
large. But the officers of the order ex-
pect to have a meeting later at which the
n. S. G.. W. all over the State will be rep
resented. Though the Agricultural So
ciety has called this meeting, it is not the
originator of the movement. The Native
Sons have committee on California his
torical exhibit for the Worlds Fair, and
the idea of making such an exhibit
worthy of the State has for a long time
been prominently before their minds.
