SAN DIEGO, Jan. 25.-With the Cal
ifornia sunset throwing it's golden rays
over the Oregonians touring California,
the visitors from the north were still
going their strenuous pace aboard
trolley cars chartered by the chamber
of commerce.
tireless ones of the party watched the
sons of Cathay celebrate in their
unique oriental way.
1t was in fact a continuation of the
series of entertainments which began
at the northern boundary line and will
end only when the Mexican border
shall be reached.
Take Days Rest
In anticipation of the exodus toward
| the Mexico line the OregonianS had
taken a long rest the night before
emitting the social interchange of visits
that have been the rule night after
night. They came, therefor, prepared
to do Justice to what the San Diegans
had to offer in climate, scenery and
hospitality.
The San Diegans have been watching
what Los Angeles did-her people admit
it-and their layout of rides, trips and
surprises was planned on a scale that
behooves such a growing neighbor of
the City of Angels
Philip Stein of Portland, a man of
affairs in functions of this sort, had
gone to San Diego on business weeks
ahead and 1T was at his suggestion that
President H. NJ. Cake and Secretary
Thomas Richards of the Portland cham
Der of commerce had become interested
in the San Diego side trip. They adopted
Mr.. STEMS suggestion and the Volun-
teer excursion to the most southern
point in the Golden state was the result.
While San Diego beckoned with
friendly hand, the Oregonians who
went south stated that the charms of
Los Angeles and her suburbs held
many there who announced their in
tention of remaining through January
and even longer.

The Angeleno welcome and the charm
of the city's environs had gripped their
hearts and fortnights projected stay
easily heightened into month.
AS Manuel May, one of the leading
packers of Portland, remarked:
I'm busy man, but / don't want
to get any kilograms for it may mean
that business calls me back; and just
now my business is to meet and see
you Californians.
I'VE need more capital and more
people in Portland and in Oregon and
we have learned the California idea
how to bring them there.
I'VE believe they will stay or come
again if they see our state. That will
satisfy us and l know it will satisfy
them"
The Oregonians have been liberal
spenders on their journey and have
more than met the efforts Of California
committees to feel welcome. All of

purchases and gifts. Nothing was too
good for them, and the northerners
acted in kind.
With the end of the San Diego trip
those who are leisurely inclined will
accept formal invitations from Arrow
head Springs, Venice and other points
to come and stay awhile.
Given Warm Reception
The reception committee of San
Diegans met the Oregonians and con-
Veyed them to their hotels for dinner
At O'Clock the party reassembled at
the chamber of commerce, where Presi-
dent Edward Grove, Chairman w. O.
Cotton and Secretary James A. Jasper
welcomed the northerners.
j. II. Albert, the Portland banker,
responded. He said: 1--WE find your
hospitality unlimited. We are going
the limit 1 assure you. Our governor
and some others have got into dis
repute with us because they have gone
back to Salt Lake (Laughter). We
don't know whether they will ever
come back. But we will stay in Cali
fornia as long as we can and we want
you to come to Oregon and do like
wise"
The visitors spent the rest of the day
riding about the city. Tomorrow's
program includes a trip to Coronado
hotel, launch riding in the afternoon
and watching of incoming automobiles
