GLOWING TRIBUTE TO FOUNDERS OF THE GOLDEN WEST HE literary exercises in St. James Park in the afternoon attracted sev- eral thousand people. A band con- cert was given by the Fifth Regiment Band. After the parade many of the visitors went to the park to rest and await the exercises under the shade of the trees. Lewis F. Byington, past grand president, was the president of the day. After being introduced he delivered the following address, which was well re- celved: Sons and daughters of the Great West, we @ather here to honor the men, our fathers, who planted upon t tions that have made our country great. Here beneath the peaceful skies that spread above them, amid the fertile flelds they sowed and reaped, by the side of the monuments they have reared, we recall again their trials and tribulations,” proclaim their virtues and their or, and,” consclous of our responsiblifties, learn” whether, true to the traditions of our ;cuntr:', Wwe are their loyal and worthy chil- ren. Every valley and hill of California is rich with reminiscences of the ploneers, and to-day throughout her broad domain the people gather in city, upon mountain and plain, to marvel at her ‘achievements, and in strains of affec- tionate admiration recount the virtues and the services of founders, but here In the early capital of the State, rich in the traditions of the Spanish and Mexican days, surrounded by the most fruitful of valleys and circled by vine-clad hills, with institutions of learning that are the pride of the nation, we glory in our birthright and marvel at the magnificent DProgress of the years. We stand to-day at the gateway that sep- arates the first half century of California’s ex- lstence as a State from the twentieth century which opens before us. The last fifty years belong t0 the ploneer. Through the dim vista of years we can mark his weary trail over the broad prairies of Illinols and raska and across the barren sands of Nevada. We see him climbing on up through the snow-bound canyons of the Sierras and at last standing, with shaded eyes, at the summit, gazing out over the vista of Califérnia’s unrivaled won- ders. Through trials and tribulations he has fought his way to the promised land. He turns for & moment and gazes back over the seemingly andleat-Waste ho hae (rhversed.

But the strong and resolute, the survivors of myriad dangers, stand at last upon the summit of the Sierras, their faces turned toward the West—the bufld- ers of an empire. We have seen their camp- fires kindled on every hillside and by many a mountain stream. The crystal waters that for ages leaped pure and untrammeled from the rgin snows are fretted by the wheels of the busy miners or stalned by the wash from the monitors upon the hills above. Urged on by the spirit of adventure or the love of danger, American liberty found In them its most reso- lute defenders, justice its boldest champions.

The pro- | cesslon extended for more than a mile { and, with four bands, made an animated | lunfl striking pageant.

As com- | pany after company passed, each cheer- | Ing heartily, Governor Pardee responded | with cheers and salute, his face beaming | | responsive goodtellowship. ! | After the procession had been disband- | | ed crowds flocked to Armory Hall to hear the Governor's address. He spoke | for a quarter of an hour eulogizing our | great State, dwelling upon the incalcu- lable richness of its resources and prophesying its empirical wealth in the | future. He quoted history to show the westward trend of empire and sald that the future commercial metropolis of the world must lie upon the Pacific. The Governor's manner was easy and earnest and his voice strong and clear. In the afternoon the competitive hose races took place on Broadway. Teams from Red Bluff, Oroville and Chico strove for victory, which virtually meant the championship of Northern California. The runs themselves were intensely ex- citing, but some tedious waits Intervened between them. Chico won the contest in the very creditable time of 39% seconds. Both the visiting teams were beaten by the swift water, Oroville failing to get the nozzle attached and Red Bluff fumbl. ing at the hydrant. Following the hose race a balloon ascen- sion was scheduled to take place on the campus of the State Normal School grounds, but owing to the delay on the part of the performers the frontier sham battle was fought before the ascension was made. It was an interesting specta- cle. A four-horse stage coach driving un- der the heavy trees on the Bidwell ranch was set upon by Indians, and a spirited running fight took place, ending in a hand- to-hand encounter. One victim of the at- tack was hung from a rude pole and made the central figure In a diabolical scalp dance. Just as this barbarous di- version was at its height a company of militia, commanded by Captain Willlam ‘White, rushed to the rescue. The fight which followed was extremely close and hot, but, overpowered by number, the In- dians slunk back step by step, until they disappeared in the heavy jungle on the banks of Chico Creek. After this came the balloon ascension, but owing to the strength of the wind an elevation of only about 50 feet was at- tained, and the performer was afrald to detach his parachute, but came down on the southern side of the city with his bal- loon. A grand ball was given in the even- ing in Armory Hall, and a band concert drew large crowds to the city park. ———————— | | The sanatorium_for consumptives at Frankfort-on-the-Main has windows that consist merely of openings, without glass, so that the patients are exposed to air currents day and_night, all the year | round. . | lec | tractions of the Flag Party Is Cheered.
