When Alaska was purchased by the United States In
1867 its value was lightly regarded The price paid

her papa as any Of her older sisters, but
she did not know what 1t was all about
and she really too tired to care.
The Governor noticed his little ones
weariness at the time and said after
ward that he thought she must have
fancied he was singing his usual lullaby
to her.
Lieutenant Governor Alden Anderson
was next sworn in and his address while
brief was much to the point His doll-like
little wife sat through it all with the Par
dee family below, her gentle face and
swimming eyes aglow with pride and ten
derness. This was the end, or nearly so,
for the programme concluded with the
singing of the hymn America" by all
present Then the assemblage broke up
and the lucky ones in the front rows sur
rounded the new Governor and over
whelmed him with congratulations. A
little later he was escorted to the execu-
tive offices, where his wife and daughters
testified to their pride and pleasure with
repeated kisses.
NEW GOVERNOR AT EASE.
In the evening the Governor quietly
dropped into his new environments and
sat at his desk chatting with friends
while his secretaries busted themselves
with debating answers to the avalanche
of congratulatory letters and messages.
There were no signs of newness about the
scene save the faces. for all fitted into
their respective notChes as though they
belonged there.
Meanwhile Henry T. Gage hustled into
a carriage and caught the limited train
for his home in Los Angeles, shorn of
power and free from all save Individual
obligations.
The spectacular features over. the law
makers took short rest and in the even
ing got down to real business again with
a caucus of the dominant party in the
rooms of the Supreme Court. Eighty
eight members were reported present,
with four absent and two members on the
sick list.
The anti-Perkins contingent reserved
the right to withdraw from the caucus at
any time prior to the selection of the
United States Senator. They then offered
a resolution making sixty-ohe votes nee
essary to a choice, but the other side
amended the motion reducing the deciding
number to forty7eight. and the amend
ment prevailed. Nineteen of the anti
Perkins crowd Immediately withdrew.

ty-eight of whom voted for Perkins and
one for Scott, which insures the re-elec-
ton of the former to the United States

iEaugurated this time IN the serving OF
refreshments. The committee finds that
a banquet is out of the question. The de-
mand for tickets has been so great that
it will be impossible to accommodate the
guests at a formal feast. Refreshments,
however, are to be served after 10 O'Clock
in the north and south corridors down
stairs.
There will be two orchestras and band
of music at the festivities. Orchestras

some desultory applause and hand-clap-
pings. but no cheers. Indeed, there was
a conspicuous lack of enthusiasm, though
the long line of troops presented arms
and did the usual honors. Lieutenant
Governor Neff, Lieutenant Governor elect
Anderson. President pro TEN. of the SEN

horses. and the brilliant but unimposing
staff of the retiring executive piled into

AT the corner below these carriages

into line and marched 90 their positions

platoon of police. followed by the grand
marshal and his staff and the Second In
fantry Band Then came Lieutenant
Colonel Forbes, in command of a bat
talon consisting Of Company a, Fifth
Regiment, Company Fl of the Second
Regiment. Company A Of the Sixth and
Company f of the Sixth Regiment.
The second division, led by Major Birk-

GOVERNOR GAGE PASSES.
When the procession arrived at the Cap
itol the battalion of infantry entered the
grounds and lined up as guard of honor,
with arms at present, as the two Cover
nors and their lawmakers filed by into the
seat of power, while salute of nineteen
guns doomed out the passing of Gage.
At the entrance to the building a halt
was called to give the members of the two
houses time 10 convene in the Assembly
chamber in joint session. The desks of
the members had been crowded back so
as to clear a space in front of the Speak
er's desk, which was filled with chairs for
the guests of honor. Aside from a few
flowers on the clerks desk, however, there
was no attempt at decoration.

The Assembly was first called to order
by Speaker Fisk. Then the presence of
the Senate at the bar of the House was
announced and the .solons Were invited
to enter, the members finding seats as
best they could while Lieutenant Cover
nor Neff ascended to the rostrum and
convened the joint session. After the
formal roll call the sergeant at arms an
rounced the arrival of the inaugural
committee, who in turn, through Chair
man Lukens, stated that Governor Gage.
Governor-elect Pardee and Lieutenant
Governor-elect Anderson awaited the
pleasure of the assembled lawmakers.
The distinguished guests were lmme-
diately escorted to seats on the Speakers
platform, while orchestra sounded the
stirring strains of the national anthem.
The families of the new Governor and his
Lieutenant at the same time were guided
to front row seats in the reserved space
The gorgeous generals and colonels and
majors of the waning administration were
not shown the same courtesy. but they
lost no time in finding seats set aside for
them to the right of the rostrum.
When all were in place Chaplain Mel
of the Senate arose to offer an invoca-
ton but his appeal was lost to the ears
of men in a burst of laughter and heed
less chatter from group of thoughtless
unmannered women in the center of the
gallery. Not even repeated raps of the
gavel, nor the reproving Kisses of the as
sembled legislators aVailed to hush the
babble or awaken the offenders to a sense
Of shame. Only the generous considera
tion of the presiding officers prevented
their summary expulsion.
Following the unheard invocation, Gov
ernor Henry T. Gage was introduced and
greeted with a complimentary burst of
applause. He made a short speech, but
il was long enough to betray his nervous
ness, for he unconsciously referred to DR..
Pardee as his distinguished predecessor.
PARDEE GLoRIoUSLY GREETED.
Governor-eIect George G. Pardee was
then presented and the applause which
welcomed the appearance of his calm,
strong face above the Speakers desk was
an unmistakable token of the people
good will. While Chief Justice William
H. Beatty was administering the oath
the sun, for the first time in three weeks
broke through the blanket of bleak gray
mist that has enveloped Sacramento in
its gloomy folds and bathed the impress
sive scene with a flood of golden light
that appealed to all as both promise and
a benediction.
There was burst of music from the
band to the strains of Hail to the Chief
and then the new Governor plunged pre-
cipitately into his inaugural address, II
was a strong composition and something
of a surprise Ito everybody within the
sound of his voice, for it incorporated a
drastic arraignment of the Gage admins
