breaking from column of platoons
to street column, which is the riot for
nation, AMI back to column of pla-
toons and finally to column of fours.
With sports and games, music and
dancing, from early morning till quite
late at night, the members of the Mer-
chants exchange and the thousands
who Joined with them in their Venice
picnic yesterday, celebrated the fifty
ninth anniversary of the admission of
California as a state of the Union.
There We're two baseball games, and
many contests of great variety in
gar dealers and hay dealers We'd with
each other in tests of strength and
skill, on land and water.
Shortly after noon the officers of the
fleet together with other invited guests
of the entertainment committee, re-
paired to the Elks' club house, where
a luncheon was served, presided over
by judge George H. Hutton as toast
master. Covers had been laid for more
than $50, and lunch was served to near
ly 200 persons. The long tables, five
in number, were set on the lawn OF
the club house grounds, which was sur
rounded by a canvas wall for the oc-
casion. The POSTMASTER and speakers
occupied the porch CT the club house.
Mayor Dudley delivered a brief ad-
dress of welcome, announcing Judge
Hutton as toastmaster. The judge
arose and, with an upward glance at
the heavy canopy Of fog hanging low
in the sky, said that he scarcely dared
apologize for the weather or say it was
unusual as he had heard that the vis-
itors from the warships had been told
that very thing in every port of the
world, and would laugh at hearing it
again.
However gentlemen" he concluded,
"I am going to say 1.-THE weather is
unusual"
Lee c. Gates then was called upon
to speak to the toast 1.-The Navy"
He spoke of the beginning of the
American navy, through the efforts of
John Paul Jones' and of its develop
ment and his beliefs regarding what
il should become in future.
Captain Gles.ves responded, referring
to the early period of California his
tory in it's close relation to the history
of the navy, when the actions of Conn
modores Sloat and Stockton went far
to determine that the history of Cali

holes over Paul Hunter on the morning
round, had considerable difficulty with
his opponent in the afternoon but won.
The matches between Chandler Egan
and Ned Sawyer went 80 holes perore

suited 2 up in Sawyer's favor. with
medal scores of IA for Sawyer and rs

lay we'll and he sent the sphere at least
225 yards.
Egan holed his put on four, Two

pier for groups to draw apart Until
late in the evening, when the visitors
were ordered from the pier to allow of
preparations for the fireworks, the
groups remained, talking of the struc-
ture they had come to see. In the
late afternoon newsboys came hurry
ing through the crowd, crying an extra
which recorded the death of Hartman,
which must have caused excitement
on Wall street, New York, but scarcely
caused ripple on Santa Monica's
municipal pier, where the general con-
versation veered but for momont
and then returned to the celebration
and it's special occasion.
All through the morning and after
noon crowds of the visitors made trips
to the warships, two cruisers and three
torpedo boats lying at anchor in the
roadstead.
The opening of the double celebra-
tion, with the start of che parade, be-
gan at the time set
Column Forms Front of City Hall
The column formed in front of the
city hall and marched by way of
Third street and Arizona avenue TO
the entrance of the pier. The line was
led by Marshal w. H. Atwill and Aid
E.~E. Bundy. -Four companies of blue
Jackets from the cruisers Albany and
st. Louis followed, in command of
Lieutenant Commander R. M. Griswold,
with Midshipman Rashley of the AL
bany as adjutant.
The companies of sailors, two from
the Albany and two from the st. Louis,
were commanded as follows: First
company, Ensign Ekland of the cruiser
Albany; second. Ensign Delano of the
cruiser st. Louis; third, Ensign Bah
bitt of the st. Louis, and fourth, Mid
shipman Mcclure of the Albany.
Members of Stephen Jackson post,
G. A. r., followed. and after them came
the city officials and invited guests in
automobiles, led by machine con-
tanning Mayor 7. H. Dudley Judge
George H. Hutton, chairman of the
day; Lee c. Gates of Los Angeles,
speaker of the day; Captain Gleaves
of the cruiser St. Louis, who is senior
officer of the fleet of war vessels
anchored in the roadstead, and Rev.
J. d. H. Brown, chaplain of the day.
Large crowds lined the streets of
the city and heartily cheered the blue
Jackets and G. A. r. veterans as they
passed. The evolutions of the former
commanded much admiration as they
deployed. marched and countermarched.

at the same time we are mindful of the
fact that the state of California today
is fifty-nine years old"
He spoke of the splendid citizen
ship of the state, and of the promise
of a greater citizenship to be, and con-
graduated the present and the coming
generation on the possession and the
heritage which is theirs. Especially
favored, he declared, is that region
comprising $4,000 square miles, rimmed
by mountains and by the sea, known
as Southern California.
Here we have gathered" the speak
er continued, ito witness the triumph
of an art which for thirty-six hundred
years has been known but not applied
by the engineers of the world. Some
of the older buildings of Egypt are of
concrete construction. We are carry
! ing it here into a new form, for the
benefit, for the pleasure, for the pro-
( lection of our people. We feel an add
ed pride in the presence of representa-
tives from our fleet, the fleet which
guarantees the peace of the world "
He dwelt at some length on the en-
terprise and public spirit of the people
of Santa Monica, in the undertaking
| and achievement of the project, and
prophesied that the example set would
be followed by other beach cities every
where III JHe civilized world.
Cuts Guarding Ribbon
Immediately on the close of the di
catory address, Mayor Dudley cut ir4a
guarding ribbon, and the great cro,,,1
that had gathered flowed out on tba
pier in two streams. between wbinh
marched the four companies of men
from the warships, $50 in number. as
guard of honor for the MAYOR and
city officials who led the parade to the
end of the pier.
The water was rough beneath, with
choppy sea, and the waves struck
hard at concrete piles of the massive
structure over which 1000 persons were
walking. but neither the waves be-
meath nor the hurrying crowds above
could cause more than the slightest
perceptible jar to the steel and con-
crete pier
For the rest of the forenoon the ceIe-
bration of the day and the event was
left to the crowd itself. Groups were
formed by persons facing one way or
another, as they discussed the wonders
of Santa Monica's achievement, for
there was no room at the end of the

Time of CALIFORNIA; Admission to

seaeoast Resort by Inn
mense Crowds

Pride in California formed the
foundation of a brilliant celebration of
Admission day in Santa Monica, but
pride in her own part in forming
basis for state pride was the keystone.
Admission day was chosen by the
beach city for the dedication of the
recently completed municipal pleasure
pier, built of reinforced concrete, mani
festly thing of beauty and guaran-
teed to remain almost forever.
On the site of an ancient wooden pier,
long since worn and torn away by the
elements, after standing but four years,
the splendid modern structure stands.
1t is most strikingly modern indeed,
for in this matter of reinforced con-
crete pier Santa Monica leads all the
world.
Esrly yesterday morning the towns
folk an d visitors began to gather in
front OF, the city hall in Santa Monica,
where the double celebration was to
begin with the start of a parade at
$3.50 o'c lock. About the approaches to
the piar, too, crowds early began to
form, held back from the pier itself by
a f1ims,y ribbon of blue and gold
stretched vibrating in the wind across
the enti ance. This nominal bar, ex-
pressive. of the plans and wishes of the
commit ee, was sufficient for the pur-
pose wi tn the greater part of the
crowd, but, for complete security of
the orde of the day. a couple of po-
lice offic, srs were detailed to guard the
ribbon.
At the entrance before the formal
openi ng by Mayor T. H. Dudley,
throu gh the cutting of the ribbon, an
addre IS of dedication was made by Lee
C. Ca ties of Los. Angeles. who, in the
name. of the municipality of Santa

preseI tied it to the people of California,
of the nation and of all the world.

Wise Talks
By the
"Office Boy"

In a trial of a "bootlegger" in
Western Kentucky recently, a
witness testified that he had
purchased some squirrel whis-
ky from the defendant. "Squir
rel whisky?" questioned the
court. "Yes, you know, that
kind that makes you talk nutty
and want to climb trees"
Liquors are not the only
things that intoxicate; men have
been very frequently intoxi-
Gated by success. I have seen
statesmen ruined because the
letters received from the firm
pyere too complimentary. Be-
ca your firm wishes to be
&c nerous and appreciative, don't
as sumo that you are the whole
tai ng. Stay down on the ground
anil don't think too long about
it, for that kind of intoxication
is usually fatal. It's lot better
to q o ahead and make good. Do
you know why people are losing
posit ions by the hundreds and
by the thousands? I'll tell you,
they are not loyal. No man can
take pay from both sides and do
his " ork properly. In a good
many fairly good stores they
work what they call the P. M.
or Premium System; they take
a line of goods that are not SELL
ing well, either mark them up
dollar or two, or if they are
marked high enough, as they
often are, they give the sales
men one to three dollars p. M.
or spiff to sell them. The sales
man then sees nothing but that
piece of money staring him in
the face; what does he care
whether the style is right for
you or the fit perfect; he wants
to make a few dollars for him
self and show that kind of a
'boss" what a wonder he is. The
Old Man doesn't tolerate that
sort of thing. He takes our
head men, shows them the enor-
nous amount of money he has
expended in publicity, fixtures
and business building and shows
them that every customer cost
him, say 500 (for the good will
of a business is worth far more
than the merchandise), and ex-
plains that if they drive GUS
toner a day away from the
store, they are just losing $40 a
day of his hard earned money.
Either store. Fall goods now
ready.

the queen of northern New York by
reason of her beauty. 1t is from her
undou btedly that Miss Bogue gets
her queenly looks.
Many of the Bogues fought in the
Revolution and are entirely New
York family. The de Grasses settled
in Massachusetts, in the latter rart of
the eighteenth century and unfortu-
nately lost their old Norman name by
changing it to Weed. The Lawrences
were also New York settlers.
Both Miss Bogue's father and
mother we're born in Ogdensburg,
New York. Her father was educated
at Troy polytechnic, and has since
became one of the most distinguished
engineers in the world. His greatest
work probably, was the building of
the Aroya road in Peru, that much
advertised road that runs above the
clouds, from Lima over the Andes.
After six years residence in South
building of the Northern Pacific in
Washington and the Baltimore and
Maryland, aud is at present directing
the engineering work of the Western
Pacific Railroad.
Miss BLgue was educated in San
Francisco and Portland, Oregon, in
her childhood; but her real education
began at the Packer Institute, Brook
lyn. New York where she graduated
at the age of seventeen. She then
went to Boxwood Finishing School in
Lyme Conn.,, and then to Role Semi
nary. Role, New York. Miss Bogue
has made two trips to Europe and has
travelled extensively through Spain,
Morocco, Italy, Greece, Turkey,
France and England. She is an ac-
compIlshed musician and has voice
of rare quality. She Is an athletic
and is one of the most splendid types
of women. She has written two books
that will shortly be put on the
market. Miss Bogue is about five
feet, ten inches in height, splendidly
propoItioDed, with all exceedingly
graceful carriage; is of the brunette
type with large. dark eyes and with
a strong characteristic face. She is
a girl who can do things, and the
Portola Festival is to be congratulated
upon the selection of so splendid
young woman.

Promoting a Land Sale.

Howard Du BoIs, the noted mining
engineer, told good story to the
Tech men recently, says the Boston
Record, illustrating the 'art" of
sailing a diamond mine.
The story was told of a man in
South Africa, who, while walking one
day over his property, suggested that
they assay some of the soil.
In the search that ensued eight
rough diamond we're found, and
offers began to fly through the air at
a rapid rate for the land, when the
host's wife called out to her ashland
"Why, John, where are the other
two!"
The sequel of the story was left to
the imagination.
