Of the semi-centennial Of the Inaugural
ton Of statehood. and extend a Joyous
welcome TO you all 10 come and join Us in
this golden jubilee. In the fifty years Just
closing California has advanced from a
territory. whose only resource was be-
lieved to be gold. TO a leading position in
the Union. with a diversity of crops. Her
harvests have been abundant and are
capable Of sustaining several millions Of
people.
The half-century just passed has been
a period of advancement, much Of which
is due to the progressiveness and stabil-
ity of the men who founded the first State
government. At no time has our people
been in peril from the many causes that
have arisen in other States. and the event
should be in a measure one of thanKsgiv-
ing.
1t is fitting that San Jose should cele-
brate the inauguration OF statehood. Here
the first State Capitol was erected and
our first lawmakers met. That those pio-
neers acted wisely is evidenced by the
general prosperity the State has enjoyed
during its fifty years of statehood. The
celebration will be historical to an ex-
tent, and the gathering of the old pio-
neers will make IL epoch long to be
remembered. It will probably be the last
reunion of these argonauts and the ma

Of the parade will recall many of the early
scenes in the young life OF the State.
The hospitality OF the citizens of San
Jose is extended 10 all. and nothing will
be spared TO make your visit pleasant.
The pioneers and native sons and daugh-
ters Will keep open house and receive you
with a glad hand.
Let US celebrate the past fifty years in
a royal manner and then start 10 work TO
make the future half-century eclipse the
past. California is yet in her swaddhng
clothes. During the past two years oppor-
tunities have come which were totally
unexpected. Our trade has extended
across the seas TO Hawaii and the Philip
pine Islands. and California Is to be the
gateway OF an immense Western trade
In the name OF the citizens of San Jose
! again invite you TO come and participate
in our golden jubilee. A fine programme
OF entertainment has been prepared, and
our citizens. aided by their wives and
daughters. the finest in the land. will bid
you welcome.
The past fifty years have. indeed. been
golden ones for California. Yours in jOy-
