Kepler takes us up to the stars, which shine beautifully over the lofty Sierras, California's eternal rampart; while Lafayette speaks to us of friendship and chivalry, still alive in these matter of fact days.

As you walk through the streets you see also the name of Kearney, not Dennis of "sand-lot" fame, but that of General S.W.Kearney, whose sword aided in placing the star of California in our Nation's Flag; you read too the name of the old Indian chief, Marin, and that of Montezuma takes you across the Rio Grande and back to the days of Mexican romance and barbaric splendour.

Here also Montgomery is remembered, the patriotic commander of the Portsmouth, who gave orders to his marines to raise the Stars and Stripes, in place of Spanish ensigns and the Bear Flag, on the Plaza of Yerba Buena, old San Francisco, in 1846.

We find also such well known names as Scott, Sherman and Stanford.

We have too a St.Francis street and a St.
Joaquin street; Sumner, Sutter, Tilden and Webster are remembered also.
