about eighty and represents quite that
number of independent manufacturing
enterprises.

ing speech and introduced the toastm aster
in the person of Major George M. Nolan.
the secretary of the National association of
manufacturers for California. Responses
to toasts were maze by representative
manufacturers and members of the press.
Owing to the late hour at which the BAN
quet broke up an adequate report of the
event is impracticable. Respondents to
toasts were Geo. L. Stearns, Edward L.
Doheny, Mr.. Colson and Max Meyberg, the
latter urging the association to be repre-
sented at the Phoenix carnival. The
Press was responded to by Mr.. Creighton
