THE PRESS ON FIESTA

attempted in Los Angeles. 1t will be ar
occasion long to be remembered by those
fortunate enough to witness it.-Ontaric

Director-General Meyberg OF the Los
Angeles Fiesta, in speaking of the assist
ance offered by the, merchants OF sar
Francisco, very justly said: 1T is q
sign that sectional feeling is wearing
away and that we are all going to work to
gether for the upbuilding of the state. y
That is exactly what it means, and it il
a happy coincidence that the manifesto.
ton of it should be celebrated in a grand
springtime festival.-San Francisco Call
Our Los Angeles friends are gratiffed al
the interest taken by San Francisco busl'
City of the Angels. They accept it as an
indication that the sectional feeling
which has been supposed to exist between
Northern and Southern California is
wearing away, and that the people of
both sections are going to work together
for the upbuilding of the state.--San Fran
cisco Call.
The Chamber of Commerce of this city
should see that this city is represented in
a creditable manner at the Fiesta, as the
festival will be an invaluable advertise
| ment of every city represented. Nearly all
the towns of Southern California intend
taking advantage of the opportunity of
making displays in the parade, and Or
| ange county should not forfeit her reputa-
ton for the production or attractive and
artistic displays by failure to respond to
| the invitation of the Fiesta committee
i sent to the Board of Trustees and re-
| ferred to the Chamber of Commerce for
action some time ago. Santa Ana Blade.
One remarkable feature about the Fiesta
| de Los Angeles, which takes place at Los
| Angeles from April Is to April 20, will be
| tbp ,f hands IF Indians from
Arizona, New Mexico and Mission In
| dians from California reservations. The
Indians take great pride in these Fiestas
and form one of its most attractive spec
tacles. At one of the reservations is an
aged Mission Indian, who has reached
| the ripe age OF 125 years, and who still re-
tans his faculties with remarkable vigor
! in spite of his mummitied appearance.
| His participation in the Fiesta pageants
will be arranged for, and the old fellow is
looking forward to it as great event.

Mr.. Cargill went up to Los Angeles one
day last week to attend the orange ex-
with Fiesta colors, having been taken in
hand by the Fiesta managers and selected
as the representative of Orange county on
the committee of arrangements. The
committee, to the number of forty, in
Guiding our fellow-townsman and his
uduSuteT, MTS. T1aTIlSOIl, WenU OH d Trip
to Mount Lowe, and were royalty enter
tanned. Mr. Cargill will appoint num-
Der OF precinct committeeman from the
different sections of the county, and sug
gests that the people of this neighbrhood
get togather and have an Anaheim float
in the parade. There will probably be
an Orange county float and Santa Ana
float, and there ought to be one from this
city.-Anaheim Gazette. - ~
The carnival will, take place from the
9Th to the 10Th Of April, inclusive, oc-
cupying an entire week. Each day will
have a varied and magnificent pro-
gramme. The week will begin with the
spectacle most appropriate to the oecas-
ion, the reception OF the Queen OF La
Fiesta the Queen of the Angels, who is
attended by glittering train of maids of
honor and cavaliers.
into her hands will be given the keys OF
the city and its government for a week.
From this time the.revels Of the carnival
will begin, and will include street parades,
masquerade balls, battle OF flowers, races
and many other features. The carnival
pageants are designed to be educational
as well as spectacular, and will deal with
the fascinating story of the discovery and
civilization of the great Pacific countries
of North and South America. They will
quest of Spanish America before the Pill
grim fathers landed on our shores; the
manners and customs of the wonderful
native tribes who inhabited the land;
the thrilling narrative of the sufferings
and achievements of the Conquistadores;
and they will have for their basis the
matchless story of the great Vest
Pomona Progress. $50 e5S
Los Angeles is to have La Fiesta in
April beginning the 18th and lasting five
days. This carnival is to Los Angeles
what the Mardi Grasi is to New Orleans
The whole country VIII. be represented
there and it will be an excellent time to
attract the attention of desirable class
of people to any given object. Recognize
stakeholder in the Visalia waterworks,
has written to several of our citizens sug-
costing that an effort be made to have
Visalia district and it's exhaustless re-
sources creditably represented there during
the carnival. Mr.. Cooper is satifed that
if Tulare county or Nisalia in particular,
will take up this matter we could get a
good representation and send float for
the procession that would prove great adj
vertisement for this section. Mr.. Cooper's |
suggestion is a most excellent one and |
had it not been for the agitation of the |
competing railroad our citizens would |
probably have acted upon it,. The new
railroad successfully turned the attention
of this part of the San Joaquin valley |
from Los Angeles, to which city it was \
surely turning for relief commercially, |
previous to the railroad movement |
started by Claus Spreckels. The interest !
Mr. Cooper has shown in the welfare of |
Visalia in trying to work up an interest |
in the matter is and ought to be. greatly
appreciated by Visalians. -Visalia Times. !
One of the most charming fancies of
the gorgeous carnival of Southern Calfor- |
mia, La Fiesta de Los Angees, which |
takes place at Los Angeles from April 9Th |
to the Goth, is that of placing its brilliant |
festivities under the rule of the Queen of
the Angels. Surrounded by a court of |
beauties, who come from all the cities of |
California, and gallant cavaliers her scep-
tire covers the charming country in which !
her rule is omnipotent for a week AS |
in the past, public curiosity is aroused to
high pitch to discover the identity of !
Her Majesty, but it is guarded faithfully. |
1t usually is revealed during the grand |
carnival masque ball, which occurs dur
ing the latter part OF the week, but the |
time when the mortal personality of Her |
Majesty will be made known is this seaaon |
yelled in uncertainty, as well as the per-
sonnet of her court.
The growing magnitude of the carnival
has been emphasized by the decisions of |
the business men of San Francico to have |
the Golden Gate metropolis of the |
Pacific representa- in it's street pageants. |
The various committees engaged in ar
for the Fiesta number 200 of the !
leading citizens OF Los Angeles, and they
are devoting an immense amount of time
to all its details. The work of the last
