Cassasa's band. After this was played the
grand overture to "Wllllam Iell." ana
while the audience was enjoying the piece
the grand officers, past grand ofhcers OF the
order and participants IN the ceremonies
came upon the stage. Presently several
little girls in white. carrying silk flags and
wearing poppy-colored badges, entered
and were placed IN the front row of chairs,
where they gave an element of picturesque
ness to the group. A selection of popular
songs, arranged by Charles III. Cassasa,
was rendered by the orchestra with splen-

large gathering.
A selection, "49,'' by Leila France, was
played by the orchestra, as an appropriate
feature of the musical programme, and at
its close james D. Phelan, president of the
Hall Association, delivered an address.
He said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: We are here to-day to
dedicate the new hall OF the Native Sons. The
chief stone of the corner was laid on Washing
tons Birthday OF last year, and for eleven
months the mind of the designer and the arm
OF the mechanic nave been tlreless In MAKING
ready for this day. You now behold the 1e-
suits of their work. Your committees, intelli-
gent and vigilant, have borne their share OF
the burden, and the grano and subordinate
parlors and the members, who own almost eX-
clusively the stock OF the corporation, have
cheerfully responded to the demands made
upon them.
This temple is monument 10 the enthu-
siasm, the selfsacrifce and the State pride of
the young men OF California. l wish to bear
testimony to the fact that deep and well sre
the foundations laid, strong is the masonry
and bold and infexible are the spans of steel
upholding the superstructure, and that wher-
ever it has been possible the building is the
product of native talent, California material
and home manufacture. 1t speaks for Cali
fornia, ana may the strength. cohesiveness
and enterprise here displayed be forever
emblematic of the order itself, which now,
under its own roof-tree, is already feeling the
quickening impulse OF greater growth, indulg-
joying that feeling of security, permanency
and patriotic fervor which comes to the citizen

Every Californian is eligible to membership

speak OF the old time revival at this
place in the language of Alice Carry,
when she said:
"our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be. 4"
We often wonder why that some one
does not erect good grist mill in this
section since we have space of twenty
miles square of good wheat country
and only one mill which is not consid-
cred sufficient To grind -four fit for
table use. Should some one erect a
mill in this section IL would be a good
enterprise and IL would enable our
farmers TO raise wheat for bread, in
stead of the entire supply being ship
ped from other places.
