COMING FROM MOUNTAIN AND VALE
The Native Sons Never Had Such a
Muster
AS VIII Take Place In Sacramento on
the Coming Admission Day
Anniversary.

There is nothing new In local \ atlVe
Sons circles, concerning the coming cele-
bration on the 9th of next month, except
that the committee continues to receive
letters by every mail giving assurance
that this or that Darlor will be here III full
force. Yesterday word came from Napa
that the Native Sons there are making
great preparations for the approaching
event, and similar news was received
from Placerville.
Most of the parlors have now secured
headquarters, and such entertaining as
they will do has never yet been witnessed
in this State.
Referring to the coming celebration
here by the Native Sons Of Admission
Day the San Francisco COI of yesterday
remarks that ever since the meeting Of
the Grand Parlor when Sacramento was
selected as the place of holding the cele-
bratiOn, the joint committee of San Fran
cisco has bent its energies to securing low
transportation rates, not only from that
city, but from all portions of the State,
and as result the companies have made
an open rate of one and q third fare to Sac
ramento and return, except in the case OF
San Francisco parlOrs, who have secured
special rates.
Every parlor of san Francisco will be
represented and it is estimated that
nearly 5000 Native Sons will leave for
Sacramento from San Francisco, Oak
land, Alameda, Berkeley and San Rafael.
From all indications the celebration
promises 10 be by far the most notable i'll
the history of the order. Grand Presi-
dent Frank Ii. Dunn, in order to excite
the fullest interest In the occasion. has
issued addresses to all subordinate par
lors, IN which be says:
For the first time in eleven years our
brethren in the northern part Of our
State will be given an opportunity to
show their fidelity to the cause, aud, II
their energy and enthusiasm at this time
Is any indication OF their purpose, 1t Will
be one Of the largest and most enthusi-
astic celebrations given under the aus
pices of the order. l desire especially to
call the attention of the embers OF the
order in these sections that have hitherto
entertained the fraternity, and call upon
them to lend their support and assistance
by attending and marching with US on
that day.
at should be remembered that, aside
from the pleasure and enjoyment that
will be afforded all who attend, we owe
duty TO our order and to those who made
it possible for US to enjoy a day set apart
for the uses of our fraternity, giving us
an opportunity to show our loyalty TO all
institution whose great purpose is to
glorify those conditions under which we
exist.
80 the parlors who cannot, by reason of
location or distance, attend the general
celebration, let me suggest that the duty
to the order is plain. Local celebrations
and appropriate exercises, setting forth
the meaning and purposes of the day,
should be held under their charge and dl-
rection, TO the end that every community
in every part of our State be Influenced
by the occasion, and our loyalty to State
aud country demonstrated and strength
ened.
Use every means to awaken enthusi-
asm and arouse interest in what promises
to be the most successful celebration held
under the auspices of the order in that
lOcality."s
