Alta and the other papers doomed the
project and asked California boys to meet
on June %. 1875, in the place already
named.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
were thousands of youths IN the city
at that time who could have attended that
meeting, there was only a very small pro-
portion present. General Winn who pre-
sided, explained that for ever so many
years his mind had been running in the
channel Of devising something that would
be a lasting monument to 'perpetuate the
discovery of gold in California, also to
keep alive the memories of the early set
tiers of the Golden State. He said that
he did not know of anything that could
better carry out the object than the for
nation Of an order composed of native
sons Of the Pacific Coast. That. he
claimed, would be sustained by pride of
parentage and place of nativity, which
would be an imperishable memento-an
institution that would last until time shall
be no more.
In his kindly. fatherly way, he ex-
planned the object more fully to his au-
dience. composed mainly of boys under
eighteen years, and urged them tc organ
ize at once so as TO make their first ap-
pearance in the Fourth Of July parade
An organization was effected that night
and the following named signed the roll
They are the charter members OF the
Native Sons of the Golden West: John

little band selected John A. Steinbach,
who was at that time a jewelers. ap-
prentice, as president and arrangements
were made for the parade.
The first set of officers of the organi-
zation were John A. Steinbach. president;
Jasper Fishbourne, T. C. w. Fem. S. p
Harmon. vice presidents; c. II. Smith. re-
cording secretary; w. L. Jones, financial
secretary: II. c. Stevenson, treasurer, and
F. Streeper. marshal. This election was
on the ilth OF July, and from that time
what is now known as California Parlor
No. l claims its existence although the
name parlor, which was suggested by
John E. McDougald, at present City and
County Treasurer OF San Francisco, was
not adopted until some time later. Az
that time. this organization, which con-
stituted the entire order of N. S. G. w.
was authorized by the constitution to is
sue charters TO any body Of natives OF
the State who might desire to form par
lors and IL was named Charter Parlor
No l. which changed its name to Cali
fornia in 1873. The next parlor formed
was Oakland No. 2, December II, 1877, and
then Sacramento No. 8. March %, 1878
and ever since then the order has beer
growing.

The majority of these owe their prestige

their ability as parliamentarians to the
education received in the parlors in which
they hold their membership.
In a period of twenty-eight years the
order has sprung from a membership OF
one parlor with eighteen members, to
one of 1e7 parlors with an aggregate
membership of 1900 and over, distributed
In every county in the State. AS the or
der has grown in age and wisdom much
has been done to add to the dignity there
of. and among rules introduced to keep
up the reputation are those which pro-
hibit the members from giving any Sun
day picnics in the name of the order the
use of the name for political or business
purposes and the use of any intoxicating
liquor at any function given in the name

No. 8. The result of the election at that
meeting was a great surprise to Charter
Parlor's representative, for 1t appears
that they had submitted list OF officers
with Jasper Fishbourne for grand presi-
dent, but the representatives from the
other parlors formed a combination and
elected W. G. Hawkett of Oakland Parlor,
who had been selected for grand secre-
tary, instead This drew forth a dignl-
fed protest from Grady and Worswick
of Charter Parlor. who thought that in
view of all that Charter Parlor had done
in building up the order II should have
been conceded the first grand president,
and they announced that Charter Parlor
declined any office The matter was,
however. amicably arranged, and every
thing has been doing well since.
Aside from the beneficial feature Of the
order, which has been carried on to aid
those in distress, the parlors throughout
the State have been a factor in many So
cial functions and have also been promi-
nent in public affairs that rebound to the
credit of the State. 1t was the order OF
the Native Sons Of the Golden West that
caused that historical landmark, Suffers
Fort, to be restored; they built magnlfi-
w. Marshall, the dlscoverer of gold in this
State: they erected a granite monument
in Sacramento to mark the last resting
place of the founder of the order. The
parIors contributed money to purchase a
home for the widow of General John c.
Fremont, the Pathfinder; they have pre-
served Cotton Hall, in which the hrst
constitution of the State was signed and
the old Custom-house at Monterey. They
are taking an active interest In the pre-
servation of many of the historic land
marks of the State. Steps are now being
taken to erect a monument in Nevada
County where the Donner party sunered
starvation in 1876; a memorial window has
been placed at Mare Island to commem-
crate the valorous deeds of Commodore
Sloat. who raised the American flag at
Monterey and took possession of Califor-
MIA in the name of the United States.
They have in contemplation many other
things which will prove 1t one Of the most
progressive organizations in the fraternal
circles on the Pacific Coast-an organiza-
ton that, while it primarily exists for the
benefit of its members, is keeping faith
with the pioneers of California by helping
to develop the industries of the State and
advancing it's interests whenever and
wherever possible. The reception by the
Native Sons of the Golden West of the
gallant California regiment on its return
from the Philippines. -he celebration OF
the anniversary of the discovery of gold
and the semi-centennial celebration of the
States birth are events that are written
in bold letters on the pages of California
history and they rebound to the credit OF
the order.

most attractive features IN the parade
organized by the Sons. Not only has their
work been marked In parades, but when
there was a call for Red Cross nurses,
