MOVE To
ORGANIZE
Californians Will
Form a State
Society.
PROPOSE TO MAKE
PERMANENT CLUB
Officers Chosen and Plan to Be
Submitted by Committee
or Constitution.

-'at@a sons of California will form
permanent organization here, and
their endeavor viii be to keep alive In
the breasts of those who claim the
Golden State as the home Of their
youth, the loyalty for the old soil.
There was not much enthusiasm evinc-
ed at the meeting of the Californians
in the Elite building last evening. but
the men whose energy is responsible
for the celebrations of the States
birthday, are hopeful that there will
be sufficient loyalty to make the or
gapization a success.
The meeting of the Californians was
attended by sixteen men, and was call
ed to order by President Levingston
soon after 1870 o'clock. The first busi-
ness was report upon the celebration
of the State day, September 9th, and as
there We're several bills which were to
be considered, a motion was made and
carried that the chair appoint an au-
diting committee, whose duty it shoui1
be to go over the bills and make a
report which would be sufficient FOR
the payment of all outstanding claims.
The committee named was Capt. a
Gartenburg, DR.. A c. Wall and A.
Arendt
The question of a permanent organl-
cation was then taken up. The discus
sion was brief and the consensus of
opinion was that there was a sufficient
number of the men of the State in the
city to justify the formation of a per-
manent society. Temporary officers
were elected as follows: President I.
Livingston; vice president, C. H. Bel
ina; secretary, G. W. R. King; treas
lrer, w. E. Wall. 1t was decided that
place Of business of the president, |
which all Californians will be asked I
% sign.
The question then came upon the ba- |
lis of the formation of the club. There |
vas displayed a decided objection to |
he canvassing Of the city for Caliror- |
mans, as it was Thought State pride |
should be sufficient to make the natives |
eager to join such an organization.
The committee upon constitution and |
bylaws was expected to make this
but the men present were |
1ot anxious to join the committee AS |
appointed there were only two men |
named G.. W. r. King and William r. |
kinslea. The third member will be
named by the president later It was
announced that Capt. Geo. w. Ashley
was now engaged in making census
Of the Californians in the city, and it
is probable that he will be named as
the third member of this committee
A vote of thanks was passed to Col.
J. Walter Jones for the offer of the
armory for the celebration, and the
