A Tax Burdened People Will Vote No!-On The Bond Issue United Against Volume 27 ATax Bu United Again SOME FORCIBLE REASONS TO BE AGAINST THE POWER BONDS Just think; the taxpayers of Los Angeles are now paying nearly $10,000 per day interest and sinking fund. If the proposed bond issue would carry next Friday this would be greatly increased. The voting of bonds will increase taxes $1,501.65 per day. By defeating the bonds and accepting the offer of the power companies will reduce taxes $4,141.91 per day. Reduce taxes May 8. Sell power—not bonds. Vote "NO," because the city needs added income—not debt. Vote "NO," because the city's electric rate has been cut to 5½ cents—too low to make a competing plant a safe investment. Vote "NO," because the electric companies offer to co-operate with the city in distribution, or to buy all power at wholesale under State Railroad Commission rates, the city to control retail price. Read this recommendation signed by nearly 600 citizens and taxpayers: To the voters of Los Angeles: We recommend that out vote "NO" at the power bond election on May 8th for the reasons that: The proposed power bond issue is not segregated, and thus prevents a free and intelligent expression of opinion. We believe in a co-operative plan which will permit the city to sell power instead of bonds. The city's bonded debt is approximately $39,000,000 and there is now need for schools ($4,000,000 bond election called for May 14th), water distribution, storm protection, harbor completion, outfall sewers, city hall and other pressing demands. An immediate revenue to the city, under the absolute protection to the city and consumers, of regulation by the State Railroad Commission and City Council is better at the present time than adding to our tax burden. Revenue from the sales of aqueduct water and a sure income from power under cooperation with the companies for a five-year period will place the city in position to buy the electric distributing systems covering the entire city instead of paralleling or condemning only a portion now. THEY ASK US TO VOTE $6,500,000 power bonds, $4,600,000 school bonds. Now this is asking too much and for a start will vote to defeat the bonds at next Friday's election. VOTE AGAINST THE BONDS It's up to the people to turn out in full force and defeat the proposition of foisting a $6,500,000 on the people at this time with such a small benefit for them as a result thereof. We have looked at this bond issue from every angle and can not for our lives see why the people should continue to make a higher tax rate for themselves, the school bond are soon to come before the people for their consideration and for the better- MUTIL The Bond Issue ment of our educational system many feel for this they can make the sacrifice. But for these other bonds that are constantly being put up to the people it is high time to call a halt. The people are now over burdened with taxation and to put upon them this additional burden is asking too much so they are as a natural result going to vote NO on the bond issue. The colored voter will not be the one to foist on the people a burden by taxation from which they can not extricate themselves. For this reason they are voting NO on the bond issue. LEST WE FORGET When our friends, the politicians in power, ask us for our support, we do well to pause a moment and go over in our minds, their past requests and promises, and to consider how they met their promises to us. We are a strong, important, influential factor in the city of Los Angeles, and the politicians recognize this. Only by being cautious by standing firmly together, and by properly and prudently using our power, can we hope to get for ourselves the benefits to which, as American citizens, we are justly entitled. Now the politicians are asking us to vote $0,500,000 in bonds for power purposes. We know that the politicians are behind this request, not the people at large, because of the fact that the politicians are on the committees, the politicians are doing the talking the political papers are printing only one side, and the men in office are running their legs off to carry these bonds. Lest we forget, let us recall the promises they made us when they asked us to vote for the aqueduct bonds. They said the aqueduct would be a source of great revenue. Has it been? NO! Lest we forget, let us recall the promises they made us of lower taxes. Have they been lowered, in the last five or six years? NO! Lest we forget, let us recall the promises they made about building a power plant and making it produce revenues when, in 1910, they induced us to vote $3,500,000 for power purposes. Has it been built? NO. Has it produced revenues? NO. As a matter of fact the politicians now want $1,250,000 or more ADDITIONAL MONEY TO COMPLETE THIS PLANT. WESLEY CHAPEL The people are crowding the church at all services. A wonderful revival of interest along all lines is on. Pastor Kinchen is preaching the old time gospel and the great choir is singing with wonderful effect. Come out on Sunday and hear Pastor Kinchen at 11 a. m.: "Infinite lessons from four small things—the ants, conies, locusts and spiders." At 7:45 p. m. subject, "A Thing or An Infinite Spirit—Which? Who is Your Sufficiency?" Los Angeles, Cal., MAY | 1914 in May. Come out and pay a tribute to mother at our 11 a. m. service. Sister Ollie Lewis will preach her farewell sermon to Los Angeles on the second Sunday at the evening service. Dear Editor. Under the direction of the Spanish War Veterans of this city and county a movement has been initiated looking to the organization of Veterans, Sons of Veterans and loyal patriotic citizens into a Battalion of Home Guards. This movement should appeal to the colored men of this city and section, for in this there are many favorable possibilities for us. In the first instance we are an acknowledged patriotic people, we are loyal to the flag and to the law of the land and we have contributed our share in peace in the development of national resources and in war in planting old glory upon the highest block house in Cuba, so that part of our history goes without challenge from any source. Frequently we ask ourselves why are there no colored men in the National Guard of California. This matter has been brought to the attention of the adjutant general at Sacramento more than once and the usual answer has been that there are no vacancies. Now the reason there are no vacancies when these applications have been made has been due to the fact that as soon as a county of the National Guard is mustered out there is another set of men already organized ready to take their places. We have never been organized, drilled in the marches instructed in camp and field duties, and hence we are never in condition to be considered. There is no good reason why we should not have a regiment of Colored State Guards in California. That we have not had it before is due to our own negligence. Now let us all get together in a big meeting, let's call it a patriotic meeting, and start something in the direction of home guards looking to the furthering of admission into the state forces. If we are organized and instructed in drills and marches we will be received by the adjutant general of the state A big mass meeting is what we should have and at that meeting there should be patriotic talks and an enrollment of all veterans and citizens of sound body into a home guard. The Civil War veterans are dying out, 30,000 annually, and there is only a few of them left. It is now the day for the Spanish War Veterans and loyal citizens to take their places as the reserve force to protect our city, state and nation against all forms of organized trouble makers who are not in sympathy with the principles of law and order, as well as to protect our border against invasion. The Spanish War Veterans are already in line, the white men of this city have organized a regiment of Home Guards; now let the young men of this section be loyal enough to register themselves on the side of home and native land. This ought to be a state wide movement from San Francisco to San Diego. Every community having a goodly colored population ought to call a meeting in their own town and organize a company of home guards, elect a captain, first and second lieutenants, and let the captain appoint his non-commissioned officers. This being well done, we should elect a colonel, a lieutenant-colonel, three battalion commanders with rank of major, and a full complement of regimental officers. Certainly there could be no more competent man for the high office, of colonel than Comrade David Holden, of Berkeley, Cal., who is now the commander of all Spanish War Veterans on the Pacific Coast. On May 30th this organization should be so advanced as to turn out in a body in every city and town of this state and pay tribute to the memory of the heroes of the Civil War. This is our duty and it ought to be a happy moment to the young men to turn aside and honor the men that liberated their fathers and made possible the conditions of freedom we now enjoy. Let us not wait, let us organize and elect our company officers and learn to drill in the marches, the exercises, and the duty of the soldier when on the field; then let us do this now so that on May 30th the patriotic spirit of the colored people of California will be recorded as never before. F. H. CRUMBLY. WAS A REAL MUSICAL FEAST Mr. John Hall with his troupe of jubilee singers assisted by some of the leading musical talent of city was the attraction that drew a large and appreciative audience to Gamut Auditorium on Wednesday evening. The same was advertised as the musical feast of the season and no one who heard this splendid program will for a moment contradict the advance notice; most every number was a star; the Jubilee quartette, the ladies' quartette, the Jubilee singers, all these were meritorious. Mars, Bowers, as accompanist, was a feature. Miss Antonette Young as a soprano soloist has a fine voice and she capitated the audience by her renditions; her singing was a distinct hit. Between the Harris Sisters and Mr. E. T. Hall rest the honors of the evening. Mr. Hall rendered a baritone solo and responded to several encores, so anxious was the audience to express their approval that the applause was deafening between verses, instead of at the end of his selection. The Harris Sisters sang a trio and for encores. Mrs. A. C. Harris Edwards rendered Will Marion Cook's "Signs of Rain," to the high elification of the audience. They enceded her again and again. The Harris sisters are a great trio and Mrs. A. C. Harris Edwards its prophet. The entertainment put on by Mr. John Hall was under the auspices of Wesley Chapel Church and was meritorious and highly creditable not only to those who took part but to the race and the entire community in which we live. The Get Acquainted Society of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church held their installation last Tuesday evening, after which refreshments were reserved. An excellent program was rendered after which, by special request, Miss Minnie Albritton sang. The audience was so well pleased that the performer was presented with a large bouquet of roses to show their appreciation. Baltimore, Md., April 30—Rev. Alfred Young, negro pastor of the Whatcoat Methodist Episcopal Church, says General Pancho Villa is his brother. His right name, he says, is Spencer Young; that he was born on a farm near Cambridge, Md.; that his father was a slave; that his grandfather was a white man and that from pictures he has seen of Villa there can be no doubt about the relationship. The Rev. Young says his brother was a fanatic on military affairs, predicted a great career for himself and enlisted in the Ninth United States cavalry. The minister corresponded with his brother until the death of their mother here, and only today he wrote another letter to the arch enemy of Huerta. Baltimore, April 24—One of the largest gatherings ever held in this country on the Negro question will take place in this city on May 3d, 4th and 5th, under the auspices of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Distinguished social workers and publicists from all parts of the country will assemble here to discuss the problems growing out of the industrial and educational needs of the colored people, as well as those relating to segregation and discrimination. Both white and colored speakers are on the program. Among the former are Moorfield Storey of Boston, the president of the Association: Professor Jacques Loeb, a leading American biologist; Mrs. Robert La Follette, wife of the senator from Wisconsin; Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington; ex-Antorney General Charles J. Bonparte of Baltimore; Mrs. Havelock Ellis, wife of the English scientist; Dr. Joel E. Spingarn; and Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post. The conference opens on May 3rd with a message from his eminence, James Cardinal Gibbons. The address by Professor Loeb which is likely to attract widespread attention, on "The Theory of Racial Inferiority in the Light of Recent Biological Knowledge." Professor Loeb is said to be strongly opposed to some of the dogmatic assertions which have been made in the name of science by Chamberlain and others, regarding the alleged superiority of the Anglo-Saxon or Teutonic stock. He speaks with more than ordinary authority on this subject as one of American leading biologists and the head of the Rockefeller Institute for biological research. At the same session Mrs. La Follette will speak on "Colored Folk and Philanthropy," and addresses will be made by Dr Howard Kelley, of Johns Hopkins University, Rev. R. W. Bagnall of Detroit, and others. nd Issue rent Topics dresses by Dr. Katherine Bement Davis, of the Department of Correction of New York City, on "The Delinquent Colored Woman;" Mr. Justin Carter of Harrisburg, Pa. on "Discrimination in the Professions;" Mrs. Havelock Ellis; Dr. Joel E. Spingarn; Archibald H. Grimke of Washington, D. C. The leading address on Monday evening will be one by Senator Wesley L. Jones on "Agricultural Education." Southerners will take a significant part in the program. Chief among them will be Miss Adeline Moffatt, a Southern white woman who speaks on "The Southern Renaissance." Ex-Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, will speak on "Legal and Economic Equality" and there will be addresses by Attorney W. Ashbie Hawkins and the Rev. G. R. Waller, also of Baltimore. Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of "The Crisis," published by the Association, will preside at the afternoon session and Bishop Hurst, of Baltimore, at the evening session. The conference adjourns Tuesday night after an address by Oswald Garrison Villard on "Some Traitors to the South." One of the features of the conference will be the award of the Spingarn medal for "the highest woman or woman during the year just past." This medal, which is given annually by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the Association, will be awarded this year by a committee consisting of ex-President Taft, Oswald Garrison Villard, Dr. James H. Dillard, director of the Jeanes and Slater Funds; President John Hope of Morehouse College, Atlanta; and Bishop Hurst, of Baltimore, who is chairman. DUNBAR PARK Located in the city limits of Watts, where transportation is good and social conditions are of the best, this subdivision is submitted to you for your consideration. It will be of the high class order where sidewalks, curbs, street gradings, trees, etc. will be paid for by the owner. Residences only and one house to each lot, set back from line 16 feet, and to cost not less than $600. This is the only subdivision on sale in Southern California where a person is not debarred because of color, of buying a home in a restricted district. Where the surroundings will be all that could be asked for. The opening of Dunbar Park tract, where prices are the same to all, and where high class lots are improved and paid for by the promoters, and where good citizens are not debarred because of color, is indeed something to think of. We would recommend to any one looking for a desirable location for a home or a good investment tc at least investigate Dunbar Park. Godling & Thompson, 703 San Fernando building, phone Main 4048, are the selling agents. You will find them pleasant men to meet and will be pleased to take any one interested to the tract free of charge. The Eagle representative, after interviewing Messrs. Thompson and Goding, and conditions and possibilities of securing agreeable homes at Dunbar Park pronounced it a good proposition. SAN FRANCISCO Mr. Harry Coopland of New York City, the well-known cate promoter, whose experience as head waiter in some of the largest cafes in and about New York is large, is a new arrival in San Francisco. He is accompanied by his wife and second man, John Shell, also an experienced waiter. They are looking for a suitable location to hang up their shingle. Mrs. L. Smith of Pacific avenue is on the sick list. Mrs. C. C. Johnson, who is a Native Daughter, having lived all her life in San Francisco, is thinking of taking up her new residence at San Jose.

Shannon of 1584 Post street, is eagerly looking forward to the homecoming of Mr. Shannon, who has been hustling on the advertising end of The Eagle in the South for the past three weeks. SLEEPING CAR PORTERS CLUB On the San Francisco page of this paper we desire to call attention to the ad of the Sleeping Car Porters' Club, located near Southern Pacific depot on Townsend street. This is one of the classiest establishments of its kind in this country, and is under the management of Mr. Henry Hastings and Richard Robinson. Mr. Hastings is an old railroad man and is very popular among the citizens of all classes and especially the railroad boys. He has been in business in Oakland and on this side for a number of years and by his affable and friendly dispositions has many friends who are glad to give him their patronage. Mr. Richard Robinson is the dean of colored entertainers in San Francisco and has a host of friends. His entertaining is of a high class and will add dignity to any place at which he appears. He is a favorite here and all wish the management well. The aim of this new club is to conduct a clean and up to date social club and no better duet could be found for class than Hastings and Robinson. "A clean-cut man." Such was your editor's opinion of the genial Recorder of Tulare county, whom we met on our recent visit to Visalia. Without any hesitation or excuses Mr. Christman showed himself to be the man whom we vouch for, as friendly and appreciative of his colored constituents. We are always ready to sing the praises of such, when we meet them. Mr. Christman will receive fro our people a hearty and strong support for renomination and elec tion to succeed himself a $ ^{\infty} $ Coy-u Recorder of Tulare county.

Mr. Jas. Ernest Trokey of Coalinga was a welcomed visitor in our city last Friday evening en route to San Francisco, where he will spend Easter. Mr. Love of Visalia was in Fresno Sunday and was the guest of the local Old Fellows. Rev. Dr. Riddle of San Francisco was in our city last Saturday evening and was the guest of Mr. Ed Lewis. The Rev. left on a late train for the city. The Southern California Theatrical Troupe are receiving on every hand much comment for their excellent showing of last Wednesday evening at Elks' Hall. All members of the troupe deserve credit and praise for the success of the performance, and especially the managers. Messrs Payne and Jessie Irwin. Much interest is being manifested in the coming musical festival at Gamut Auditorium next Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the Harriet Tubman Club, of which Mr. John Hall is manager.

Many of strangers saw the city first time, and marveled substantial business sect beautiful residence streets, the miles and miles of pavements, the splendid public buildings, the evidences of prosperity on every hand, the bustle and life. Many homeseekers were shown the agricultural lands, the Realty Board doing excellent work in that connection, and the city entertained representatives of the business interests of four big cities during the week. And each one of those visitors went home with the conviction that Bakersfield is one of the coming cities of the west. The names of city and county were spread before thousands of readers the country over by reason of the aviation flights and other novel attractions, but it may be said that if Bakersfield had done nothing else than to provide an enjoyable holiday time for local residents, the festival would have been worth while. Of course, the man with indigestion can not be expected to agree with that statement. Taking no joy in life himself, he can see no reason why anyone else should enjoy himself. The victim of a perpetual grouch, he prefers to see all the world have a grouch. But the dyspeptic with the sour disposition is the exception and not the rule. Most people like a little recreation, and nearly everybody is willing that there should be periods of rest from the daily grind. All work and no play is not only a poor rule, but it is an unprofitable one. The week just passed, all other advantage eliminated, was worth the expense, time and trouble it cost because it gave men and women and children a week of entertainment, created a break in the daily grind, gave everybody a chance to mingle with his fellows, and so promoted a closer community feeling. So from any viewpoint the week was one of real value, and the community rejoices because of it. Fresno has just resolved to let no spring go by without a festival day, and Bakersfield will doubtless desire to see a repetition of the enjoyable days that have gone into history. ARCADE DEPART B.

A negro family who recently went to Victorville to take up a government claim reports that 20,000 acres of land in Victor valley have been claimed thus far by colored people. Victorville is situated northeast of Los Angeles in San Bernardino county. For something like four years colored people, mostly from the South, have been taking up these claims and improving their lands by erecting pumping plants, building homes, setting out fruit trees, and putting in crops. One negro of Apple val- The local colored papers carry a standing advertisement of this land advising the negroes to avail themselves of the privilege of claiming the remaining 50,000 acres. The Pico Heights club of colored women held its semi-monthly meeting a few days ago for the purpose of making preparations for the annual exchange of art exhibits to be held within a few months. The object of the Pico Height's club is to influence colored members to keep their boys in school long enough to complete the higher grades; for the majority of negro youths of the city seek employment at the close of their elementary course. This club of women offers as an inducement a $15 suit of clothing to the boy who will remain to graduate from the High School. The senior class of Harvard university has recently chosen a colored student to be the orator during its approaching class-day exercises, and the Harvard-Andover Divinity club has just elected a colored vice-president, the first one of his race to be a member of this club. In colleges and universities of the East, negroes from time to time have won many honors. Armer graduate of Harvard was also a Rhodes scholar at Oxford university, England, and is now studying at the University of Berlin. Thus ear eight men of negro blood have had the degree of doctor WATCH THIS SPACE 100 by the various universities of eht east and middle west. Two colored attorneys of Los Angeles are graduates of Harvard law school. A medal has just been awardea colored man by the McClintick-Marshall company for skillful work done on the locks of the Panama canal. Negroes are displaying inventive ability, for 1000 patents have been granted to them thus far. Their inventions for the most part have been labor-saving and mechanical contrivances. Among these are a telephone register, a hydraulic scrubbing brush, an automatic car switch and an automatic feed attachment for adding machines. A negro of Georgia has invented a circumplanescope, warranted not to capsize, and two colored Californians have put out an electrical device that controls traffic in congested districts. The patient for a fountain pen fluid which erases ink has brought the offer of $25,000 to a negro inventor of Chicago. A negro contractor of North Carolina has recently purchased a city block upon which he soon will erect house for rental purposes. The thoughtful negro is steadily accumulating wealth as a result of the teachings of Booker T. Washington. During the past decade indications of their thrift have been especially evident, for the value of their domestic animals has increased 107 per cent; their poultry, 35 CANNOT BE IMPROVED machinery, 98 per cent; their land and buildings, 293 per cent. Their total wealth is estimated at over $700,000,000. That the Pullman car porters have many legitimate grievances against the Pullman Car Company, no one will for a moment doubt. There are today thousands of porters working for the company, the exact number we are not advised. These porters are subjected to regulations that are more rigid and drastic than military discipline, some of which are positively unfair to the porters. The porters, as a rule, give efficient, prompt and courteous service to the patrons of the company, but the degrading and humiliating regulations under which they work are pernicious and vicious to say the least. Porters are guaruicans of the safety of property and person, the ministers to the wants and desires of patrons and as such render services unchallenged for efficiency and caustery. These men undergo untold hardships at times, a few of which we shall attempt to enumerate. They are held to strict accountability for every article that is in their cars and for every article that a passenger claims he has lost. A porter deadheaded from New York to Chicago or New Orleans, traveling on a pass, is given no sleeping ac commodations nor is adequate provision made for his victualing. The run from Washington to New York is considered by porters to be one of the toughest on the schedule. For instance, a porter must report at the yards two and one-half hours before train time, the run is five and one-half hours. All this time, about nine hours, the porter must go without food, because no adequate provision is made for him. In cases where complaints are lodged by patrons against porters, the word of the former has a preponderance of weight. They are subject to the oeders and directions of the most insignificant employee of the company other than Some of these men have given a life full of service to the Pullman Company. One can find porters with from one to five stripes, each stripe indicates five years of efficient, prompt and courteous service. After all this service they are made practically to depend upon the public generosity for adequate means of living and taking care of their families. We do no advocate the abolition of tipping, but we do claim that the remuneration should be more substantial and the treatment accorded should be morn in keeping with the character of services rendered. FRESNO NEWS The funeral of the late Eugene Berry was held from the Second Baptist Church, Saturday afternoon, April 18th, Rev. R. D. Arrline officiating, assisted by Rev. J. Morgan, D.D.

U. to McKINLEY_PARK CHAU TAUQUA AT SACRA- MENTO. The McKinley Park Chautauqua at Sacramento under the auspices of the Sacramento Valley Baptist Young People is an assured fact. The grounds have been secured and the city park commissioners are leaving no stone unturned to get the grounds in shape and to make the park as attractive as possible. Have you ever visited McKinley Park? It is one of the most beautiful places in all California. It lays just south of Sacramento and contains about forty or fifty acres. The large oak trees have made almost a continuous canopy overhead, thereby shutting out the sun at all hours of the day. Its pleasure features are almost unexcelled. There are great spaces for-baseball, lawn tennis, croquet and a swimming pool, also a small zoo. The park affords all the sport and pleasure that one might look for. Main Features of the Chautauqua. The main features of the Chautauqua will be a great gathering of prominent orators, the learned men of both races. For when we tell you that the coming of ex-attorney-General W. H. Lewis of Boston and Miss N. H. Burroughs is assured, together with the probable appearance of Bishop Parks of the A. M. E. Church; W. T. Vernon, ex-registrar of the treasury; Drs. McCoy and Gordon of Los Angeles, and other prominent men of the South, you will agree with me that there will be a great concourse of racial intellect that this race can be proud of; men able from every standpoint; orators of no mean ability, the most of them having national reputation. Together with the best who are members of our race there will also be present the governor of the state, the attorney-general of the state, the United States senator from our state and congressmen from our state, together with such men of our general association as Drs. J. M. Rid UTILATE M. T. Laws And The Rosebuds OnTheWayToWallaWallaPark Y.M.C.A. AGE OPENING PICNIC GIVEN AT WALLA WALLA PARK, APRIL 23, BY PANAMA SOCIAL CLUB, GRAND SUCCESS. It was a grat success both financially and socially. We can not find suitable words with which to praise the club for the successful dle, G. C. Coleman and J. T. Jones, Professor L. J. Williams and others of our local district of the Young People's Union and Sunday School. Now when I say that McKinley Park during the 23d of June and the 1st of July will be the Mecca for intelligence I feel assured that you, after reading the above names of the persons spoken of and being acquainted with them from a religious and political standpoint, you will say with me that it is well worth paying a visit to the Chautauqua. The Purpose of the Chautauqua. The purpose of the Young People's Chautauqua is to bring about a large united social gathering of our young people. Each summer we find that the Sunday schools and young people's societies give picnics where one or two of the local Sunday schools and young people's societies gather together for their social pleasure. The pleasure resorted to is not always of the most desirable kind, therefore the president of our Sacramento Valley B. Y. P. U. Convention conceived the idea of holding a general outing for the young people of Sacramento Valley. To carry out the idea a committee was appointed composed of the following: Rev. G. W. Reed of Stockton, chairman; Mrs. M. F. Gaither of Woodland, Rev. W. M. Dixon of Sacramento, Rev. J. L. Allen of Marysville, Mrs. L. S. Diggs of Woodland, Mr. L. Williams of Marysville and Prof. C. H. Toney of Vallejo, he being one of the pastors of the Sacramento Valley district. The committee, after getting together, decided that it would be a good thing to make the outing a general one, not simply to confine its pleasures to the young people of the Sacramento valley district, but to invite all the young people as well as the nia to participate at this great soilder people of Norther. Californial meeting. That something worth while ```markdown ``` CANNOT BE IMPROVED and praiseworthy manner in which they entertained the patrons. The park in its natural state presents a beautiful picture with its tints and touches of real nature, where much enjoyment can be had with its many amusements of the most modern sort. Walla Walla Park is certainly a place where picnickers can have a might be the result of this great meeting the committee outlined the following as the plans for the Chautauqua for the social, industrial and religious benefit of the young people of our community and the outlying districts. To carry out this plan is the reason why we have gone to the expense and have invited the persons cited above. The several district conventions which compose the General Baptist Association have been invited to hold their respective conventions at McKinley Park during the Chautauqua, and there will be a day or days given to each of the district conventions for the purpose of holding their convention. Another great feature of the Chautauqua will be a mammoth choir consisting of 150 voices, under the directorship of several of the best singers obtainable in Northern California. The time of the beginning of the Chautauqua will be the 23d of June, and will hold eight days closing on the first day of July. The place will be McKinley Park, southern section of Sacramento, the same being reached by two car lines running at intervals of five minutes from the uptown section of the city. Rates have been secured from all roads entering into Sacramento$ ^{o}$ of one and one-third fare for the round trip. Accommodations Sleeping accommodations will be right on the grounds. There will be tents provided with two cots. The prices for lodging will not be over 25 cents, and probably less, especially for parties who desire to stay longer than one night. The rates will be fixed according to the time the parties are to hold the tent. Refreshments of all kinds will be on the grounds. A great mammoth platform is built for the purpose of the meeting. This platform is surrounded by beautiful trees, completely covering the platform, thereby shutting out the sun, causing the place to be cool throughout the day. Motion pictures by our Bro. Rev. Dixon will be one of the main features each evening of the Chautauqua. For further information concerning the Chautauqua you may address Rev. G. W. Reed, chair- Too much praise can not be accredited Mr. M. S. Laws, who in his public spirited way of doing things has won from the public their highest praise and commendation and we feel quite sure that Walla Walla Park will be a feature this summer for outings of all kinds. man, box 692, Stockton, Cal., or Mrs. L.

With its everlasting reputation of "biggest and best hotel" for men and women of color, the Golden West also enjoys the distinction of setting the standard of entertaining newspaper and other public spirited people in a manner long remembered and cherished by them. Messrs Brown and Williams—the congenial proprietors—are careful in not only giving good service but in making the general atmosphere congenial and home-like for their many guests, who come from all sections of the country. Their party service is also unchallenged in excellence. Rev. Herben will preach at a Serese meeting at Second Baptist Church beginning Monday evening, April 27th.
