REDWOOD CITY, CAL, March 5.-The
meeting of the Grand Parlor of the Native
Sons of the Golden West, 10 be held in
Redwood City during the last week in
April, gives promise of being very success
ful. Ever since the decision of that body,
when in session at San Luis Obispo last
year, TO hold its next session at Redwood
City the members of the local parlor have
been quietly at work planning for the
event and as the date approaches their
energies are constantly increased and their
enthusiasm intensified. Everything that
can possibly be done to give the Native
Sons grand reception and good time gen.
orally is being done.
The monotony OF the routine work of
the parlor will be enlivened by various
forms of amusement and entertainment.
Money is pouring in to the already large
fund, and even now enough has been sub
scribed and collected 10 carry out the
plans which the ways and means COM
mittee had originally outlined; but as
more is added from time to time, the COM
mittee will enlarge and vary its plans
accordingly. From the time the SUBJ
scription paper was started, some two
weeks ago, the committee has succeeded
in raising something over $1,000, and ii is
safe to say that, at the very least, $1,000
more will be added thereto befare the
Grand Parlor convenes. At a meeting of
the local parlor here last night, the follow
ing subcommittee were appointed:
