a WELCOME TO ALL

Wher-we think of San Diego,
AS our City known to fame
Building all our priceless railroad
With her mighty Drawn and BRAIN
Through the war and labor troubles,
Still triumphant to the end;
How they tunneled through the mountains,
No one yet can comprehend.
But when we stop and question them,
They just answer with smile;
eve have linked our seaport city
With a country that's worth while.
We have watched from the beginning
Even from the Valleys birth;
While you've worked with faith and courage,
Loyal to your country's worth"
So we gaze anew with pleasure
To our fields and flocks we love,
TO the mountains changeful colors,
To the glowing sun above.
And our hearts are grateful ever,
Though we work, and seldom play;
We have reached the goal together
On our celebration day.
MAY BEATTY,
Calipatria, California.
