ITO THE BEACHES" WAS THE
DAYS SLOGAN
Five Thousand Visitors Like Southern
California so Well That Many Of
Them VIII Locate Here
Permanently
we won't 60 home TN morning,


by their happy and contented express
sions.
For he's q jolly good fellow" seems
to apply to each and every one, and
their women, we'll, they are delighted
with Los Angeles. They are pleased
with everything, especially the oranges,
which they are picking by the dozen.
Yesterday the visitors passed several
hours by the sad sea waves but they
made lively scenes while they were
there. A little dip In the Pacific just
seemed to be what they needed to
round out the day.
Before they had departed from Ma
sonic temple yesterday morning the
beach crowds were loaded with fruits
and flowers.
The round of pleasures included trips
to Venice and Santa Monica, Long
Beach and other seaside towns.
Plans for Next Week
Excursions are planned for Mt. Lowe
and Catalina island during the latter
part of the week and early next. One
party expects to go Saturday afternoon
to Catalina island and stay over Sun
day and enjoy the fishing there.
Last nights hundreds of Shriners
visited Chinatown and were shown
through the celestial realms by COM
mittees of Los Angeles Shrners.
Some took sightseeing autos and
viewed Los Angeles and surroundings,
including the old missions.
The 5000 Shriners who have come to
Los Angeles, despite the unfortunate
edict, are glad that they came and
will go back with tales of pleasure and
comfort which will bring a larger num-
ber here next year, for Los Angeles is
to have the imperial council in 1907.
Everybody seems to favor 1t and Los
Angeles usually gets what she starts
after.
St. Paul Withdraws
st. Paul. which has been setting her
cap for the next council has gracefully
offered to withdraw in favor of the
Angel city. This act is gratefully ap-
preciated by Shriners here, who have
worked day and night for the success
of the convention. That it will come
here goes without saying.
Plans for the floral parade are being
made, for these are secrets and must
not be told, you know. And the gowns
that are being planned to match the
flowers In the floats will be Just too
pretty at least the young women say
SO.
1t is expected that fully one-third
the number of Shriners here will re-
main for Fiesta. The barbecue has
been omitted from the program, but
the grand ball will be given during
Fiesta week.
The Shriners and their women are
taking in all the side trips and many
outings have been planned to reach
from the mountains to the sea.

Flint, potentate of AL Malaikah tenn
pie of Los Angeles, urging him to go
to Chicago with a delegation and exert
their influence in having the imperial
council meet in Los Angeles in 1907. |
This resolution voices the sentiment
OF nearly all the temples in the United
States.
large number of Shriners from
Islam temple of San Francisco have
visited the headquarters of the Visiting
Shriners' club. Several of them were
millionaires before the disaster.
Mrs. M. H. Flint, wife of the poten-
tate Of AL Malafkah temple, Los An

ing mobiles.
Day at Catalina
Shriners from the New England
states and New Jersey went to Cata-
lima yesterday under the guidance of
]. A. Flanders and made royal day
Of 1t. Almost every one in the party
drew comparisons between the Atlantic
and the Pacific, and the Pacific did not
ouilpi III Tic lCdots Inc udy was gray
and heavy hung with clouds when the
start was made. but as the island
loomed in sight the sun came out and
showed the glory of the place.
The brief stay on the island was
revelation to the visitors, and when
they had made the trip that shows
the glories of the deep sea gardens and
the myriad animal and plant life that
dwells therein there was an unanimity
of opinion expressed that there was
no place else in the world where such
sights could be seen.
Those who were kodakers found the
seal family not only willing but glad
to pose for them, and as the boat
swung on the gentle swells that Tapped
the rocks where the seals were baskine
there was a clicking of shutters and
very general shrieking among the
women of the party, who pointed out
the different groups and clamored for
just one more picture before 1t was
too late.
