During  the  Depression  there  were 
many  violations  of  regulatory  laws.  We 
experienced  considerable  difficulty  in 
the  enforcement  of  the  "California  Oil 
and  Gasoline  Substitution  Act",  a  law 
that  was  as  formidable  as  the  sound  of 
its  name  and  very  difficult  for  a  lay 
man  to  understand. 

I  doubt  if  one  out  of  a  hundred 
service  station  operators  had  ever  seen 
the  law  and  virtually  none  had  ever 
read  it.  We,  in  the  District  Attorney's 
office,  never  attempted  to  prosecute  a 
violation  of  this  statute  unless  some 
act  was  involved  that  an  ordinary  per' 
son  would  know  to  be  downright  dis- 
honest. 

Those  were  the  days  when  ethyl 
gasoline  was  colored  red  and  there  were 
cases  where  a  bit  of  coloring  matter 
was  added  to  lowtest  gasoline.  We,  of 
course,  had  no  hesitancy  in  trying  such 
violations. 

I  remember  prosecuting  a  service  sta- 
tion  operator  in  Judge  Kenneth  E.  Mor- 
rison's  Court  in  Santa  Ana.  That  was 
many  years  ago  when  he  was  a  justice 
of  the  peace. 

A  jury  was  selected.  In  cross-exam- 
ining  the  State's  first  witness,  Defen' 
dant's  counsel  elicited  the  testimony 
that  a  Standard  Oil  station  was  situated 
directly  across  the  street  from  the  dc 
fendant's  place  of  business.  In  doing 
so,  he  had  deftly  planted  the  seed  of 
suspicion  that  the  Standard  Oil  Com- 
pany  had  prompted  the  prosecution  to 
drive  the  defendant  out  of  business. 
From  time  to  time  the  attorney  for  the 
defendant  alluded  to  Standard  Oil.  It 
was  trial  strategy  difficult  to  combat, 
for  to  object  to  such  remarks  would 
only  convince  the  jury  that  I  was  try 
ing  to  "hide  something". 

I  had  to  content  myself  to  making  a 
formal   objection   and   adding  the  gra-

tuitous  statement  that  neither  Stand' 
ard  Oil  nor  any  other  oil  company  was 
pressing  the  case.  However,  I  felt  my 
cause  was  lost. 

In  his  argument  to  the  jury,  defen- 
dant's  attorney  painted  a  vivid  word 
picture  of  his  client  as  a  poor  "inde' 
pendent"  operator  struggling  to  make 
a  living  for  his  family  and  fighting  for 
existence  in  a  world  of  stiff  competition 
dominated  by  major  oil  companies  who 


resorted  to  ruthless  tactics. 

The  jury's  deliberations  were  very 
brief.  In  a  few  minutes  a  verdict  of 
acquittal  was  returned. 

Shortly  afterwards  one  of  the  jurors 
came  back  and  asked  Judge  Morrison, 
"Judge,  just  what  interest  did  the 
Standard  Oil  Company  have  in  this 
case?" 

"None",  replied  the  judge.

g|S9  HE    CITY    OF    SEBASTOPOL    is    lO' 

J^  cated  in  historic  Sonoma  coun- 
ty  in  the  famous  Redwood  Empire  and 
is  known  as  "The  Gateway  to  the  Rus' 
sian  River".  It  was  founded  in  1855 
by  J.  H.  P.  Morris  and  began  its  career 
as  Pine  Grove,  named  for  the  pine 
forests  on  the  hills  in  the  area. 

Tradition  tells  us  that  an  argument 
between  two  men  named  Stevens  and 
Hibbs  was  the  cause  of  the  change  of 
name.  It  seems  that  during  the  dis- 
agreement Hibbs  was  getting  the  worst 
of  it  and  made  a  dash  for  Dougherty's 
store,  where  safely  inside  he  let  the 
owner  face  Stevens.  Dougherty  re 
fused  to  let  Stevens  enter.  It  was  at 
the  time  of  the  Crimean  war  and  the 
siege  of  Sebastopol  was  in  progress. 
The  crowd  of  men  who  gathered  to 
watch  the  fight  were  quick  to  recognize 
Hibbs'  advantage  and  cried  "Sebasto- 
pol, Sebastopol!!!"  The  name  stuck 
and  Pine  Grove  became  Sebastopol. 

The  land  around  the  new  settlement 
was  rich  and  soon  became  famous  for 
its  fruits  and  berries.  The  apple  indus- 
try was  born  when  two  Green  Valley 
settlers,  Mr.  Mitchel  Gillian  and  Major 
Isaac  Sullivan  planted  apple  trees. 
Credit  for  the  introduction  of  the 
Gravenstein  apple  and  the  Layton  ber- 
ry is  given  to  William  J.  Hunt  who 
crossed  the  plains  and  arrived  in  Se- 
bastopol about  1869. 

Since  the  early  1900s  the  apple  in- 
dustry has  grown  from  small  ranch 
operated  driers  to  million  dollar  proc- 
essing plants  which  handle  hundreds  of 
tons  of  apples  daily.  Along  with  ber- 
ries, cherries,  chickens,  dairies  and 
many  other  industries,  work  is  provided 
for  many  people  the  year  round.  In 
1910  Sebastopol  staged  its  first  apple 
show.  It  was  a  huge  success  and  for 
many  years  was  looked  forward  to  and 
attended  by  people  from  all  parts  of 
the  United  States. 

SEPTEMBER,    1960 


Luther  Burbank  arrived  in  Sebasto- 
pol in  1875.  He  liked  the  soil  and  the 
climate  and  established  a  twenty  acre 
experimental  farm  west  of  town  on  the 
south  side  of  the  road  (now  Bodega 
Avenue)  near  the  cemetery.  Here  he 
carried  out  many  of  his  famous  botan- 
ical experiments  and  was  a  famihar 
figure  in  the  area. 

Many  of  his  well  known  species  of 
fruit,  vegetables  and  flowers,  including 
the  well  known  Burbank  potato  and 
the  Shasta  daisy,  were  developed  here. 
He  believed  that  the  Redwood  Empire 
area  was  the  chosen  spot  of  all  the 
earth  as  far  as  nature  was  concerned. 
Even  today  commercial  crops  of  ap- 
ples are  still  harvested  from  the  Bur- 
bank experimental  gardens. 

The  Laguna  de  Santa  Rosa  lies  east 
of  Sebastopol  and  in  1865  one  of  the 
first  bridges  was  built  across  it  but  it 
was  not  until  1890  that  the  steam  train 
came  to  town  and  in  1904  the  Santa 
Rosa  and  Petaluma  electric  road  was 
built  linking  Sebastopol  with  Santa 
Rosa,  Petaluma,  Forestville  and  Two 
Rock. 

The  growth  of  the  city  was  steady 
and  the  streets  of  today  are  quite  dif- 
ferent from  the  trail  where  the  ox 
teams  hauled  redwood  lumber  from  the 
Guerneville  area  to  Petaluma  where  it 
was  taken  by  boat  to  San  Francisco  for 
buildings  there.  Some  of  these  es- 
caped the  earthquake  in  1906  and  are 
still  in  use. 

To  the  west  of  Sebastopol  lies  Bo- 
dega Bay,  named  for  Lt.  De  la  Bodega, 
who  explored  the  Pacific  Coast  iv 
1775.  In  1790  Alexander  Kuskof 
sailed  into  Bodega  Bay  and  traveled 
inland  about  6  miles  and  sowed  and 
harvested  wheat.  With  this  cargo  and 
hundreds  of  otter  skins  he  went  to 
Russia.  In  1811  he  returned  to  the 
same  site  and  established  the  village  of 
Kuskof.    The  original   flag  pole  stood

Chamber  of  Commerce  building  in  August,    1922.  i 

BELOW:     Experimental    gardens    just    outside    Se-j 
bastopol.   When   Mr.   Burbank   purchased   these    Hi 
acres    he    said    "The    die    was   cast   and   it   was    de- 
termined   my    energies    would    be    devoted    to    ttu 
work  of  plant  development". 


at  the  site  of  the  village  until  a  few 
years  ago  when  a  storm  blew  it  down. 
A  new  steel  pole  has  been  erected  by 
the  Native  Sons  and  a  portion  of  the 
old  pole  was  taken  to  the  museum  at 
the  Mission  de  Solano  at  Sonoma. 

Farther  north  the  Russian  settlement 
of  Fort  Ross  was  built  and  a  flourish' 
ing  establishment  was  maintained  for 
many  years.    After  the  Russians  sold

their  interests  to  Capt.  John  Sutter  and 
left  Fort  Ross  in  1842,  Capt.  Sutter 
met  with  adversity  and  the  fort  slowly 
fell  into  decay.  It  was  through  the 
work  and  interest  of  the  Native  Sons 
and  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West 
that  this  historic  spot  has  been  almost 
completely  restored  and  is  now  a  State 
monument.  A  fine  museum  is  housed 
in  one  of  the  buildings  and  many  relics 
of  the  Russian  occupation  are  pre 
served  there.  In  the  Chapel  there  is  an 
interesting  story  of  "The  Bell" — how 
it  was  lost  and  found  again  and  re- 
stored to  its  rightful  place  in  the  old 
church  where  it  had  been  so  many 
years.  When  Sehastopol  Parlor  N.D. 
G.W.  No.  265  was  instituted  in  March, 
1938,  the  chapel  at  Fort  Ross  was  used 
as  its  official  seal. 

On  every  side  one  is  reminded  of 
the  pioneer  families  of  this  historic 
area  as  streets  and  roads  and  towns  are 
named — Carrillo,  Blucher,  Miller, 
Cooper,  Walker,  Sullivan,  Hicks,  Ross, 
Donner,  Guerne,  to  name  only  a  few. 
Some  of  these  families  are  starting  the 
5th  and  6th  generations  of  Native  Cali- 
fornians.  Members  of  the  Marshall 
family  still  own  and  live  in  one  of  the 
oldest  houses  in  this  part  of  the  State. 

If  you  know  where  to  look,  old  In- 
dian trails  are  still  visible  where  the 
red  men  made  their  long  journeys  from 
the  valleys  and  mountains  to  the  east. 
They  came  to  the  "Big  Water"  for 
salt  and  fish,  clam  shells  to  make  their 
wampum  and  abalone  shell  to  make 
good  medicine  and  beautiful  necklaces. 

If  you  are  in  the  proper  mood  and 
listen  closely  you  just  might  hear  the 
swish  of  an  arrow  or  look  around  and 
you  might  find  an  arrowhead,  one  not 
made  in  a  souvenir  shop!  Yes,  there  is 
a  heap  o'  history  around  and  about  the 
City  of  Sebastopol. 


m£  LEGEHV  Of 
A  COOK  BOOK 

By  Alazuma  Singmaster 

N  THE  NINETEEN  THIRTIES  the  Na- 
tive Daughter's  home  on  Baker 
Street  in  San  Francisco  had  a  mort- 
gage. At  Grand  Parlor  convention 
Grand  President  Dr.  Louise  Caroline 
Heilbron  originated  the  idea  of  a  Loy- 
alty Pledge  to  clear  this  indebtedness. 
It  was  presented  to  the  delegates  from 
the  subordinate  parlors  and  they  voted 


PAGE  4 


to  pledge  their  membership  to  give 
five  dollars  each  to  this  fund  which 
would  entitle  them  to  wear  a  yellow 
Loyalty  button. 

Grand  Trustee  Willow  Borba  of  Se- 
bastopol, a  member  of  Santa  Rosa  Par- 
lor No.  217  attended  this  Grand  Par- 
lor and  later  traveled  the  length  and 
breadth  of  the  state  visiting  subordi- 
nate parlors  on  official  visits  with  other 
Grand  officers.  Attendance  seemed  to 
be  gradually  dropping  at  regular  meet- 
ings as  it  was  difficult  for  many  mem- 
bers to  contribute  the  money  for  the 
pledge.  This  worried  Mrs.  Borba  and 
she  spent  many  sleepless  hours  trying 
to  devise  some  way  that  every  member 
could  earn  the  money  and  wear  the 
button.  It  would  have  to  be  some- 
thing simple  and  in  keeping  with  the 
trying  post  depression  days.  Something 
every  member  could  do — a  bit  of  money 
perhaps  but  more  of  themselves. 

At  the  meetings  she  attended,  many 
different  kinds  of  refreshments  were 
served.  Native  Daughters  liked  to  cook 
and  eat.  Food  had  always  been  a  maj- 
or concern  of  women.  Any  new  dish 
was  popular  and  everyone  asked,  "How 
is  it  made?"  "Ha!"  thought  Willow 
at  two  o'clock  one  morning.  "Why  not 
a  cook  book?"  Everyone  could  buy  a 
book  and  sell  a  book  if  they  were  of- 
fered at  a  reasonable  price.  Ideas  tum- 
bled over  each  other  but  by  morning 
had  simmered  down  to  cold  reality  and 
after  some  good  sound  thinking  and 
planning  she  decided  to  find  out  what 
could  be  accomplished. 

So  the  idea  was  born  and  the  work 
began.  There  were  so  many  things  to 
do.  First — permission  from  Grand  Par- 
lor— which  was  granted;  then  contact- 
ing the  subordinate  parlors  to  get  their 
reaction  to  the  idea  and  how  many 
books  they  thought  they  would  be  able 
to  sell.  Gathering  recipes,  clipping, 
testing,  filing,  work,  work,  work!  Con- 
stantly explaining  the  reason  for  the 
book  and  forever  asking  for  recipes 
was  a  colossal  task.  The  kind  of  paper 
to  use,  the  cover  and  the  binding  all 
had  to  be  considered.  The  book,  when 
wrapped  for  mailing,  must  weigh  only 
one  pound.  No  advertising  was  used 
for  postal  rate  reasons  and  no  personal 
addresses  to  avoid  mailing  lists  being 
compiled. 

At  last  in  19.^2  the  first  Loyalty 
Cook  Book  of  the  Native  Daughters 
of  the  Golden  West  was  ready  for  the 
press.    "Seven  Thousand  copies?"  asked 

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


Mrs.  Borba.  The  Grand  Officers 
thought  it  too  many.  "You  will  have 
dozens  left  on  your  hands,"  they  said. 

So  three  thousand  were  turned  out 
at  the  first  printing  and  in  due  time 
the  books  arrived.  Beautiful  slim  vol- 
umes with  a  red  cover  gold  printed 
with  the  name  of  the  Order,  clean 
white  pages.  The  best  from  members 
all  ever  the  State. 

The  subordinate  parlors  were  anx' 
ious  to  see  them  and  ordered  as  many 
as  they  thought  they  could  sell.  Every 
member  in  Mrs.  Borba's  Parlor  bought 
a  book  and  she  was  very  happy.  Then 
orders  began  to  pour  in  and  wh'O'O-oh 
— in  sixty  days  every  book  was  sold. 
Four  thousand  more  were  ordered  and 
in  record  time  all  were  sold  and  the 
home  on  Baker  Street  was  cleared  of 
debt  and  book  No.  1  was  a  popular 
success. 

Requests  kept  coming  in  for  more 
cook  books  so  Mrs.  Borba  began  gather- 
ing  more  recipes  and  in  1944,  14,000 
copies  with  a  new  spiral  binding  filled 
with  new  and  different  recipes  was  pub- 
lished. These  books  were  supplied  to 
the  subordinate  parlors  at  cost.  The 
profit  was  theirs  to  help  with  their 
favorite  projects. 

Mrs.  Borba  began  to  think  of  the 
bocks  as  "Helping  Hands'"  to  finance 
better  things  and  cook  books  became  a 
major  operation  for  both  Mrs.  Borba 
and  her  husband,  W.  S.  "Bill"  Borba, 
a  member  of  the  Native  Sons  of  the 
Golden  West  in  Sebastopol.  It  was 
hr's  job  to  re-pack  and  send  the  books 
to  Native  Daughters  all  over  the  State. 
No  small  job  and  an  important  one. 

As  Book  No.  2  was  nearing  a  sell- 
out, in  1948,  the  papers  were  full  of  the 
news  that  the  Calaveras  Big  Trees  were 
to  be  milled  and  a  slogan  "Save  the 
Redwoods"  was  heard  everywhere. 
The  entire  Native  Daughter  member- 
ship was  ready  to  defend  these  noble 
trees,  so  the  "Helping  Hand"  of  Loy- 
alty Cook  Book  No.  3  was  printed  ten 
thousand  strong  and  went  to  the  "Save 
the  Redwoods"  fund.  The  trees  still 
stand  for  posterity. 

In  1953,  fifteen  thousand  copies  of 
Book  No.  4  rolled  off  the  presses.  Two 
projects  close  to  the  hearts  of  every 
Native  Daughter  needed  funds.  The 
Children's  Foundation  and  the  restor- 
ation of  the  Mission  Soledad.  A  dream 
to  have  every  mission  in  the  chain  from 
San  Diego  to  Sonoma  as  they  were  in 
the  days  of  the  Padres  was  slowly  be- 

SEPTEMBER,    1960 


ing  realized.  The  profit  from  Book  No. 
4  gave  its  "Helping  Hand".  In  1956 
there  was  a  reprint  of  five  thousand 
volumes  of  this  edition.  These  books 
contain  authentic  recipes  from  many 
nations  and  have  found  their  way  all 
over  the  United  States  and  gifts  to 
England  and  Ireland  are  on  the  mail- 
ing list. 


Sebastopol    Chamber    of    Commerce    build- 
ing with  touring  car  in  front  of  building. 

To  date  50,000  copies  of  Loyalty 
Ccok  Books,  the  "Helping  Hand"  have 
been  printed  and  Book  No.  4  is  nearly 
sold  out.  Bocks  filled  with  old,  new  and 
different  recipes — the  best  from  good 
cooks  to  good  cooks. 

Now  Book  No.  5  is  in  the  making. 
Orders  are  being  received  and  this 
promises  to  be  the  best  yet.  Willow 
Borba  is  happy  with  the  success  of  the 
books  and  is  grateful  for  the  cooper- 
ation of  her  sister  Native  Daughters 
and  all  the  people  who  have  sent  reci- 
pes. Loyalty  Cook  Books  are  the  direct 
result  of  Mrs.  Borba's  vision  and  hard 
work  for  over  25  years  and  they  will 
live  on  as  one  of  the  "markers"  of  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West.

THE  HISTORV  Of 
SEBASTOPOL  PARLOR 

By  Alazuma  Singmaster 

ijjp3  EBASTOPOL      PARLOR       NO.       265 

,4j)  N.D.G.W.  was  organized  by 
Mrs.  Willow  Barba  of  Sebastopol,  a 
member  of  Santa  "Kosa  Parlor  No.  217 
and  was  instituted  in  Sebastopol  on 
Friday  evening,  March  18,  1938,  GVP 
Edna  B.  Briggs  officiating.  Forty-five 
members  were  initiated,  1 3  of  these 
still  hold  membership  and  five  are 
charter  officers.  Included  in  the  char- 
ter officers  were  Fay  Kurhinder,  Char- 
ter Past  President:  Alazuma  Singmas- 
ter,  Charter  President;  Anice  Badger, 


Charter  Vice-President;  Georgia 
Triggs,  Recording  Secretary;  and  Irene 
Nahmens,  Inside  Sentinel.  Mrs.  Wil- 
low Barba  served  as  the  new  Parlor's 
first  Deputy  Grand  President. 

As  an  "eager  beaver"  group  to  start 
with,  this  parlor  has  kept  projects  alive 
that  were  started  in  1938 — twenty-two 
years  of  working  together  in  harmcny. 
In  fact,  the  sewing  club  which  began  in 
1938  is  called  the  "Harmony  Club"  and 
has  staged  a  successful  bazaar  every 
year  since.  Christmas  card  sales  pro- 
moted and  under  the  direction  of  Char- 
ter Vice-President  Anice  Badger  have 
been  a  major  source  of  income  for  20 
years.  One  World  War  veteran  was 
adopted  in  1939  by  the  parlor,  another 
one  later  and  they  still  belong  to  us. 
Flags  were  given  to  the  local  Ives  Rec- 
reation Park  at  the  dedication  of  the 
swimming  pool.  Books  on  California 
History  have  been  placed  in  the  local 
schools  and  library. 

These  are  only  a  few  of  the  inter- 
esting activities  carried  on  at  Sebas- 
topol— but  we  are  not  too  busy  to  see 
our  friends,  so  any  time  you  are  com- 
ing this  way — our  Parlor  meets  on  the 
2nd  and  4th  Fridays  and  we  will  be 
happy  to  see  you.

NATIUE  SONS 

The  Native  Sons  have  maintained  a 
str.  ng  membership  in  their  parlor  since 
1902.  Two  of  their  members  received 
their  50  year  membership  pins  in  1956 
and  rede  together  in  the  Admission 
Day  parade.  They  are  George  Ragle 
and  Alfred  F.  Hallberg.  William  Bor- 
ba celebrated  his  50  year  membership 
in  1958.  Mr.  Borba  has  made  an  ex- 
tensive study  of  California  history  and 
owns  a  number  of  priceless  early  day 
histories.

Mission 
Soledad  fiesta 


BIGGER     THAN      EVER     Mission 

,  Soledad    Fiesta   is   planned    at 

Soledad  in  Monterey  County  this  year. 
Best  sign  that  the  second  annual  Fiesta 
is  growing  in  importance  and  enter' 
tainment  value  is  the  announcement 
that  two  days — October  8  and  9 — have 
been  set  for  the  Fiesta  this  year.  Last 
year  several  thousand  persons,  includ' 
ing  Native  Daughters  from  all  over  the 
State,  enjoyed  the  Mission's  first  Fies' 
ta,  which  was  held  on  a  Sunday. 

The  Fiesta  means  renewal  of  the 
type  of  faith  that  predominated  the 
lives  of  the  early  California  padres, 
singing,  dancing  and  plenty  of  good 
food.  The  Fiesta  also  means  that  the 
restoration  work  initiated  by  the  Na' 
tive  Daughters  will  not  be  forgotten. 
Money  derived  from  the  gala  event 
will  be  used  to  carry  on  the  restoration 
work  under  the  direction  of  the  Cath' 
olic  church,  BUT  sponsoring  the  Fies' 
ta  draws  the  enthusiasm  and  support 
of  the  entire  community. 

Highlighting  Saturday's  events  will 
be  the  gala  coronation  ball.  Contes- 
tants for  the  role  of  queen  are  already 
being  announced.  Opening  Sunday's 
activities  will  be  the  impressive  field 
Mass  inside  the  quadrangle  of  the 
crumbling  mission  walls.  The  small 
mission  chapel,  restored  by  the  Native 
Daughters  a  few  years  ago,  will  be 
open  all  day  with  someone  at  the 
grounds  to  answer  questions. 

The  famed  Fort  Ord  band  and  chor- 
us will  be  back  again  this  year  for  a 


repeat  concert.  Costumed  Spanish  dan- 
cers and  musicians  as  well  as  the  Key- 
notes orchestra  will  add  to  the  Fiesta 
spirit.  Best  amateur  chefs  in  the  area, 
men  who  take  pride  in  their  way  with 
a  steak,  have  been  recruited  to  preside 
over  the  barbecue  pits  for  the  midday 
dinner.  An  entire  downtown  block  will 
be  sectioned  off  for  the  avenue  of 
booths  which  will  offer  a  variety  of 
food,  drink  and  games. 

The  year  1960  promises  to  be  one  of 
the  bright  ones  for  Mission  Soledad. 
Before  the  year  is  out  it  is  expected 
that  another  step  in  reconstruction  of 
California's   last   remaining   unrestored 


mission,  will  be  under  way.  The  Na- 
tive Daughters  expect  to  spend  about 
$20,000  in  further  restoration  and  es- 
tablishment of  a  museum  in  what  was 
originally  sitting  rooms. 

Augmenting  the  Native  Daughters 
restoration  will  be  the  first  expendi- 
ture of  Mission  Fiesta  Funds.  Although 
small,  it  marks  the  first  restoration 
work  by  any  other  group  than  the  Na- 
tive Daughters.  The  Rev.  Fr.  Amancio 
Rodriguez;  reveals  that  soon  a  full  time 
caretaker  will  be  on  the  grounds  and 
that  is  another  progress  note  welcomed 
by  everyone.

Mission  Soledad 

by  Ida  M.  Stockton 

MEMBERS  FROM  THE  FIVE  Santa 
Clara  County  Parlors  N.D. 
G.W.,  led  by  Mrs.  Amalia  Vella, 
Chairman  of  Publicity  of  Vendome 
No.  100,  of  San  Jose,  journeyed  to 
Soledad.  The  large  celebration  included 
a  fiesta,  barbecue,  chicken  and  a  rodeo. 
The  lengthy  mass  of  bands  and  the 
colorful  marching  units  started  the 
day  with  a  parade.  It  was  estimated 
that  over  5,000  visitors  and  Native 
Daughters,  including  many  Grand  Of- 
ficers, from  the  entire  State  partici- 
pated. 

All  of  the  Parlors  of  the  State  are 
supporting  the  restoration  of  all  the 
old  Missions.  Mission  Soledad  lies  be- 
tween Kings  City  and  Salinas  in  the 
Valley  of  the  Winds,  near  Soledad. 
The  Native  Daughters  became  inter- 
ested about  15  years  ago.  In  1950, 
fund  raising  began  to  restore  Soledad 
Mission.  The  Chapel  has  been  rebuilt 
and  $26,000.00  has  been  paid  for  its 
completion.  Native  Daughters  through- 


out the  state  have  raised  money  with 
parties  and  bazaars.  Soledad  is  the  13th 
mission  and  was  originally  built  in 
1791. 

The  21  missions  in  the  State  were 
founded  by  the  Franciscan  Fathers. 
Somewhere  among  the  ruins  of  Mis- 
sion Soledad  are  the  graves  of  Gover- 
nor Jose  Joaquin  de  Arrillaga  and 
Father  Florencio  Ibanez.  It  is  hoped 
that  these  graves  will  be  discovered  in 
the  restoration.  The  original  stations 
of  the  Cross  and  the  Mission  Bell  have 
been  restored  to  Soledad  as  well  as  a 
five  foot  statue  of  the  Madonna  that 
stands  above  the  Altar.  The  proposed 
museum  will  house  relics  from  Mission 
Soledad  and  also  articles  from  the  Mis- 
sion area. 

The  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gold- 
en West  is  the  oldest  women's  patriotic 
organization  in  California.  They  work 
in  other  projects  besides  restoration  of 
the  Missions.  Mission  Soledad  is  the 
last  in  the  chain  to  be  restored.  Al- 
though the  Native  Daughters  have 
shattered  the  long  silence  that  sur- 
rounded the  Mission,  their  purpose  is 
well-founded.

MY  FAMILY  LIVED  in  San  Diego 
for  years  on  Florence  Heights. 
Wc  had  one  of  the  show  places  of  the 
city  on  First  and  Ivy  in  those  days. 
Poor  Mother,  who  was  a  Couts  from 
Guajome  had  some  disagreeable  callers 
at  times.  Tourists  would  drive  out  be' 
cause  they  wanted  to  see  a  Couts,  and 
maybe  Ramona  herself,  would  be  there. 
It  was  awful. 

We  had  a  fuU'blooded  Indian  nurse' 
maid,  Luisa.  Many  of  the  old  San  Di' 
egans  should  remember  her,  who  cer' 
tainly  pulled  a  fast  one.  One  day,  on 
opening  the  front  door  to  answer  the 
bell's  ringing,  when  someone  said  to 
her,  "We  were  told  that  the  real  Ra- 
mona lives  here.    Is  Mrs.  Scott  in?" 

Boy,  oh,  Boy!  Til  never  forget  the 
answer  they  got  from  Luisa,  as  she  said 
to  them,  ''I  am  a  real  Indian.  See  me, 
but  there  is  no  Ramona  anywhere. 
There  never  was!" 

All  the  servants  on  the  ranchos  were 
Indians,  and  in  some  of  the  town  houses 
too.  I  personally  would  rather  have  an 
Indian  nurse,  than  any  other.  In  fact, 
I  had  my  old  nurse,  Luisa,  for  my 
children.  She  always  wore  black  and 
white  uniforms,  with  a  white  ruffled 
cap.  At  first,  she  did  not  like  the  caps, 
but  one  day,  when  she  brought  the 
baby  home  from  Balboa  Park,  she  was 
a  little  depressed — but  pleased  too. 

Someone  had  a  colored  nurse-maid 
dressed  from  Marston's,  as  she  was, 
cap  and  all — so — with  a  self'conscious 
smirk,  she  said,  "Sabes  Cayita,"  "the 
blacker  the  nursemaid,  the  more  sty 
lish  the  baby,  and  her  baby  does  not 
wear  shoes  or  sox,  just  like  ours". 

Now  she  loved  her  charge  and  was 
completely  happy  with  her  new  uni' 
form.  Yes  sir,  "the  blacker  the  nurse, 
the  more  stylish  the  baby". 

Luisa  was  not  a  Guajome  Indian. 
The  story  of  her  always  interested  us 
children  every  time  we  heard  it.  My 
mother  and  father  were  living  on  the 
Buena  Vista  rancho.  In  fact,  this  ran' 
cho  had  been  given  to  Mother  when 
San  Marcus  was  sold.  That  was  an  act 
that  really  started  the  breaking  up  of 
tlie  tremendous  Couts  holdings. 

Mother's  fourth  child  was  born  at 
Buena  Vista  in  1880.    The  three  older

ones  at  Guajome.  A  Fiesta  was  being 
held  at  the  San  Luis  Rey  Mission,  and 
naturally,  all  the  families  from  the 
ranches  went  to  it.  All  of  the  Indians 
would  start  from  Vv^ay  in  th;  back 
country  weeks  before,  to  be  there  en 
time.  Among  these  Indians  was  Luisa 
with  her  mother,  father  and  sever.il 
brothers  and  sisters.  Luisa  was  abou; 
sixteen  and  a  lady  with  a  bright  pink 
dress  fascinated  her,  as  did  her  small 
children. 


Luisa  Quicum,  full-blooded  Cahuilla  Indian 

Nursemaid   with   the  author's  one-year   old 

daughter  Martita. 

Mother  .said  this  Indian  girl  was 
wrapped  up  with  her  pink  dress  and  she 
followed  her  every  place  she  went, 
timidly  touching  it  when  she  got  a 
chance.  When  time  came  for  the  fam- 
ily to  leave,  the  girl  wanted  to  go  with 
the  pink  dress.  She  fought  her  father 
off,  even  after  a  wallop  or  two  from 
her  mother.  Then  the  father  went  up 
to  Mama  and  Papa,  grunting  out  that 
if  they  would  give  him  a  demi'juana 
(demi-john)  of  Agua'diente  (brandy) 
and  some  red  cloth  for  his  wife,  they 
could  keep  Luisa. 

She  ate  too  much  and  they  had  many 
more.  So,  in  all  the  commotion,  Luisa 
was  taken  to  Buena  Vista.  She  was  as 
happy  as  a  lark,  and  more  so  on  find' 
ing  a  small  baby  there,  who  became 
her  special  charge.  As  the  years  passed, 
she  took  over  each  new  baby.  It  was 
as  if  she  had  been  trained  for  the 
work.  We  were  hers,  as  soon  as  the 
nurse  left.  She  raised  all  of  us.  1  was 
number  six,  and  five  followed  me,  tv^'o 
dying  as  babies.

Luisa 's  devotion  to  her  charges  was 
wonderful.  When  I  married,  I  brought 
her  with  me  and  she  took  care  of  our 
two  children. 

Her  weak  spots  were  whiskey  and 
men  and  as  a  result  she  married  sev' 
eral  times  .  .  .  always  coming  back 
alone.  As  for  the  whiskey,  that  was 
the  only  thing  anyone  in  the  family 
ever  had  to  keep  under  lock  and  key. 
A  drunken  Indian  is  no  joke,  believe 
me.  When  it  did  happen,  Dr.  Mead 
would  take  her  to  the  County  Hospital 
until  she  sobered  up  and  then  she  would 
come  back. 

I  had  her  for  years  with  my  own 
children  but  she  was  too  old  for  the 
grandson.  He  would  run  away  from 
her  and  always  make  a  bee'line  for 
the  street  and  the  automobiles  were  too 
dangerous.  Losing  his  care,  she  mar' 
ried  once  more  .  .  .  dying  soon  after. 

If  one  speaks  Spanish,  an  Indian 
servant  is  a  prize,  but  if  you  don't, 
well  .  .  .  don't  try  to  tackle  one.  There 
is  a  peculiar  quirk  in  them  toward  one 
who  speaks  only  English.  They  them- 
selves speak  it  and  well,  but  minus 
Spanish,  minus  respect  from  them  you 
are.

:^  T  IS  OF  GREAT  BENEFIT  to  any  Organisation  —  whether  it  he  a  fed- 
eral government,  an  improvement  club,  or  a  woman's  organization  like 
ours  —  to  occasionally  review  its  history,  not  only  for  the  satisfaction 
and  pleasure  to  be  derived  from  contemplating  its  accomplishments,  but 
to  determine  the  goal  of  the  course  we  are  pursuing,  and  to  evaluate  the 
lessons  to  be  learned  from  less  successful  enterprises  and  diversions  into 
projects  which  have  proven  unfruitful  or  beyond  our  scope.

irs  during  the  second  Grand 


Parlor  session,  held  in  Stockton,  July  10,  1888.  A  letter  from  Santa  Cruz 
Parlor,  N.S.G.W.:  ".  .  .  heartily  invites  all  the  sister  parlors  to  be 
present  at  Santa  Cruz  on  Admission  Day,  September  9,  1888,  and  re- 
quests you  to  extend  to  them  said  invitation."  The  invitation  was  received 
with  thanks. 

Sometimes  the  references  to  the  type  of  activities  to  which  I  refer 
are  very  casual,  and  so  little  data  is  given,  one  must  read  between  the 
lines  to  grasp  their  significance.  During  the  third  annual  session,  again 
held  in  San  Francisco,  there  is  reference  to  a  donation  to  be  made  "ac- 
cording to  the  amount  in  the  Treasury",  to  be  sent  to  the  Johnstown  or 
Seattle  sufferers.  I  do  not  know  what  happened  in  Seattle  in  1889,  but 
the  Grand  Parlor  sent  a  donation  of  $25.00  to  the  "Seattle  sufferers". 

It  is  refreshing  to  read  the  letters  and  verbatim  reports  of  presen- 
tations, etc.,  which  appear  in  these  early  proceedings.  The  language  of 
these  days  was  not  so  prosaic,  and  while  we  of  today  do  not  indulge  in 
such  "flights  of  fancy",  they  do  make  interesting  reading.  This  letter 
ircm  the  Grand  Secretary  of  the  N.S.G.W.  to  the  Grand  Parlor  is  also 
significant,  indicating  that  the  close  contact  between  the  two  Orders  has 
Keen  in  evidence  iince  the  very  beginning: 

"Greetings:  —  I  have  the  honor  to  inform  your  Honorable  Body 
of  the  adoption  of  the  following  resolution  by  our  late  Grand  Parlor  in 
Session  at  San  Rafael: 

"  'Resolved,  that  this  Grand  Parlor  of  the  N.S.G.W.  send  greetings 
to  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West.  That  we  congratulate 
them  on  the  success  they  have  achieved  during  their  brief  existence  as  an 
Order;  that  we  recognize  and  appreciate  the  reflected  beauty,  purity  and 
credit  their  Order  confers  upon  our  State;  that  as  our  aims  and  objects 
are  identical  —  the  honor  and  glory  of  our  native  State  —  we  trust  that 
mutual  concord  shall  ever  prevail  between  the  two  Orders;  that  the  fu- 
ture pathway  of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  may  lay  in 
pleasant  places;  and  we  hope  that  their  love  (which  is  flower-like)  for 
California,  may  be  as  sweet  incense  to  the  continued  devotion  of  the 
Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West  to  our  common  State'." 

A  further  reference  to  the  observation  of  Admission  Day  appears 
in  the  proceedings  of  the  fourth  Grand  Parlor:  "The  following  communi- 
cation was  received  from  the  San  Francisco  delegates: 

"  'More  than  the  usual  interest  has  been  manifested  by  the  Order 
of  Native  Sons  in  making  preparations  for  the  celebration  of  Admission 
Day,  September  9,  1890,  and  a  comjnittee  of  Native  Daughters  of  San 
Francisco,  has  been  appointed  to  confer  with  the  Native  Sons,  with  a 
view  of  making  the  celebration  a  genuine  success.  Representatives  of  the 
San  Francisco  parlors,  here  assembled,  present  the  matter  to  the  Grand 
Parlor,  and  would  be  pleased  to  have  the  delegates  from  other  parlors

The  Grand 
President's  Corner 


During  the  month  of  July  it  was  my 
pleasure  to  conduct  schools  of  instruc 
tion  in  Red  Bluff,  Marysville  and  San 
Francisco.  The  schools  of  instruction 
were  well  received  and  I  was  very 
pleased  with  the  large  attendance. 
Many  Grand  Officers  and  Past  Grand 
Presidents  were  in  attendance.  Schools 
of  instruction  for  August  were  held 
in  Auburn,  San  Luis  Obispo,  Santa 
Ana  and  Fresno. 

On  Sunday,  July  31st,  I  attended 
the  marking  of  the  Angels  Hotel, 
Angels  Camp,  and  the  Prince  Building, 
Altaville.  These  markings  were  made 
possible  by  the  State  Department  of 
Beaches  and  Parks  and  Vrincess  Parlor 
No.  84,  NDGW. 

September  9,  1960,  will  mark  the 
one  hundred  tenth  anniversary  of  Call' 
fornia's  admission  into  the  Union.  Ad' 
mission  Day  has  been  recognized  as  a 
state  holiday,  and  to  keep  it  as  a  state 
holiday,  we  must  be  active  in  its  ob' 
servance.  The  Native  Sons  and  Native 
Daughters  hold  an  official  celebration 
each  year.  The  parade  will  be  held  in 
Richmond,  Contra  Costa  County,  and 
the  theme  will  be  the  "Best  Days  of 
California."  This  will  be  a  three  day 
event  with  bowling,  Drum  and  Bugle 
Corps,  Drum  Corps  and  Drill  Team 
Competitions.  Our  big  parade  will  take 
place  on  the  morning  of  Admission 
Day.  A  barbecue  and  dance  will  be 
held  after  the  parade. 

Parlors  throughout  the  state  may  plan 
special  activities  in  their  communities 
on  this  day,  but  it  is  my  wish  that 
many  will  take  part  in  the  parade  in 
Richmond.  The  Native  Daughters  of 
the  Golden  West  will  celebrate  the 
seventy' fourth  anniversary  of  the  found'

ing  of  our  Order  on  September  25th. 
It  was  in  1886  that  Miss  Lilly  O.  Reich- 
ling,  after  returning  home  from  an 
Admission  Day  Celebration  in  Sacra- 
mento,  mailed  24  invitations  to  friends 
in  Jackson,  inviting  them  to  Pioneer 
Hall  on  September  11th.  The  notes 
were  ambiguous,  but  they  were  intend- 
ed to  be  so,  for  that  was  an  almost 
certain  way  of  getting  her  friends  to 
attend  the  meeting.  Perhaps  it  was 
curiosity  that  made  these  women  at- 
tend, but  before  the  meeting  adjourned 
the  date  of  September  25,  1886  had 
been  selected  for  the  second  meeting, 
and  it  was  on  that  day  that  Ursuia 
Parlor  No.  1  was  founded  in  Jackson. 
Amador  County.  There  were  17  par- 
lors organized  within  the  first  four 
months  and  the  first  Grand  Parlor  was 
held  in  San  Francisco  in  1887.  Tina  L. 
Kane,  first  president  of  \Jr?,u\&  Parlor 
No.  1  was  elected  the  Grand  President. 
Later  the  title  of  Founder  of  the  Order 
was  conferred  on  Lilly  O.  Reichling, 
later  Lilly  O.  Reichling  Dyer. 


September  25th  is  also  known  as 
Childrens  Foundation  Day  and  we  have 
honored  the  Founders  of  our  Order 
through  service  to  the  children  of  our 
State.  Our  Child  Welfare  program 
was  designed  to  be  a  living  monument 
to  these  women.  Through  the  hard 
work  of  this  committee  and  the  gen- 
erosity of  our  members,  this  has  be- 
come  one  of  our  most  outstanding  proj- 
ects. May  God  give  us  strength  to 
carry  on  this  great  work.

S.  F.  DEPUTIES 

SDDGP  Lucile  Ashbaugh  and  her 
24  deputies  met  for  their  first  business 
meeting  to  prepare  for  a  very  busy 
year.  Officers  for  the  year  were  se- 
lected. The  first  social  affair  open  to 
the  public,  with  Dorothy  Vitalie, 
Chairman,  will  be  the  reception  honor- 
ing  Grand  President  Edna  Williams, 
Friday,  September  23,  Forest  Hill 
Lodge,  266  Laguna  Honda  Blvd.,  San 
Francisco.  Other  social  affairs  spon- 
sored by  the  DGPs  will  be  announced 
from  time  to  time.  The  San  Francisco 
deputies  wish  to  thank  Grand  President 
Edna  Williams  for  asking  them  to  help 
with  the  school  of  instructions.

PAST  DEPUTIES 

The  Deputy  Grand  Presidents  of 
1959-1960  and  their  supervisor,  Ann 
Shaw,  met  for  dinner  in  the  Alta  Mira 
Hotel,  Sausalito.  Business  for  the  past 
term  was  completed  and  a  lovely  eve- 
ning was  spent  talking  over  many 
events  of  the  past  year. 

Past  Supervisor  Frances  Simas  and 
her  1957-1958  deputies  with  PGP  Irm;i 
M.  Caton  are  making  plans  for  a  din- 
ner and  evening  of  fun  September  29.

SCHOOL  OF  INSTRUCTION 

The  School  of  Instruction  held  in 
the  meeting  hall  in  the  Native  Daugh- 
ter Home  under  the  direction  of  Grand 
President  Edna  Williams  assisted  by 
GVP  Alice  D.  Shea,  GM  Rhoda  Roel- 
ling  and  GIS  Annette  Caiocca  was  well 
attended. 

SDDGP  Lucile  Ashbaugh  and  the 
deputies  of  San  Francisco  County  acted 
as  officers  elect  for  the  installation  and 
later  as  the  officers  of  California  Par- 
lor, going  through  a  complete  official 
visit  and  regular  meeting.  After  the 
demonstrations  many  questions  were 
asked  regarding  the  various  parts  of  the 
floor  work.  Our  Grand  President  was 
very  patient  in  answering  all  questions 
and  when  required,  the  grand  officers 
with  the  help  of  the  deputies  endeav- 
ored to  show  exactly  how  it  should  be 
done. 

Between  the  morning  and  afternoon 
session.  Home  Manager  Mrs.  Nash  and 
her  staff  with  the  help  of  the  deputies 
served  luncheon  to  about  one  hundred 
and  fifty  members  of  the  order.  Many 
of  the  members  came  from  parlors  in 
the  valley  and  down  the  coast.  Every 
one  left  feeling  they  would  be  more 
capable  in  their  work  of  both  direct- 
ing and  conducting  meetings.

Pctaluma,  Cotati,  Ukiah,  Santa  Rosa 
and  Sebastopol),  Mrs.  Reeves  made  a 
trip  to  the  Veterans  Home  in  October, 
1958,  to  confer  with  Major  Kenneth 
Lawrence,  Special  Services  Officer,  to 
determine  what  gift  would  be  most  use 
ful  to  the  veterans. 

It  was  a  long,  rainy  spell  at  the  time 
and  Major  Lawrence  remarked  that 
the  old  soldiers  were  surely  having 
trouble  drying  their  clothes  in  the  base- 
ment of  the  Barracks. 

Mrs.  Reeves  having  the  initiative 
and  vigor  of  a  true  pioneer,  travelled 
over  2200  miles  in  her  car  promoting 
the  sale  of  4000  tickets  on  the  cedar 
chest. 

On  May  24,  1959,  she  and  other 
representatives  of  the  Native  Daugh- 
ters enjoyed  a  picnic  at  the  Grove  in 
the  Veterans  Home  and  officially  pre- 
sented seven  automatic  dryers — one  for 
each  Barrack — to  Colonel  Stanley  Dun- 
mire,  commandant. 

It  was  then  that  Colonel  Dunmire 
extended  an  invitation  to  the  organiza- 
tion to  have  Native  Sons  and  Daugh- 
ters of  the  Golden  West  Day  at  the 
Home  on  the  last  Sunday  in  May  each 
year.  The  invitation  was  accepted  at 
both  Grand  Parlors.

W^  HIS      F  L  A  G 

<^  flew  m 
1812  along  with 
the  Russian  flag.  It 
was  the  commer' 
cial  flag  of  the  Rus- 
sian  American 
Company  which 
was  granted  royal 
license  to  hunt  sea 
otter.  Baron  Rot' 
chef  was  Governor. 
It  seems  that  he 
had  displeased  the 
Czar  and  this  as- 
signment was  an 
imperial  decree  of 
banishment.  It  was 
not  too  unpleasant 
because  he  brought 
his  bride,  the  beau- 
tiful Helena  de  Ga- 
garin, niece  of  the 
Czar,  the  first  lady 
to  come  to  Califor- 
nia from  a  Euro- 
pean court.  Her 
clothes  were  beau' 
tiful  and  many. 
She  possessed  a  pi- 
ano, rugs  on  the 
floor  and  lovely 
carved  furniture. 
Her  garden  was  a 
thing  of  beauty  to 

behold.    The  Spaniards  were  favorably  impressed  and  gave  many  parties  for 
the  royal  couple. 

On  one  occasion  the  Baroness  wanted  to  go  on  a  holiday  to  see  what  was 
behind  the  mountain  called  Mt.  Mayacamas.  The  excursion  took  several  days. 
Quite  a  large  number  were  in  the  exploration  party.  They  climbed  the  moun- 
tain,  placed  a  bronze  plaque  at  the  summit  and  named  it  ^t.  Helena  in  honor 
of  the  patron  saint  of  Imperial  Mistress  Helena,  Empress  of  Russia. 

News  reached  Vallejo  who  was  in  charge  of  all  that  transpired  in  the 
northern  part  of  California.  He  sent  his  brother  and  the  Indian  chief  Solano 
to  see  what  the  Russians  were  doing.  In  the  distance  the  Spaniards  heard  the 
Russian  party  approaching.  Solano  had  his  men  conceal  themselves  and  wait. 
When  they  drew  near  instantly  Solano  gave  a  command  when  he  saw  the 
beautiful  Baroness.  The  valley  fairly  sprouted  Indians.  Vallejo's  brother  wa.<; 
dismayed  and  asked  Solano  what  he  intended  to  do.  Solano  drew  his  hand 
across  his  throat  describing  what  he  would  do  with  the  men.  Then  he  smiled 
and  said  "The  women  Solano  keep".  The  Russians  started  to  draw  their  guns 
and  swords  but  Vallejo  told  them  to  hold  their  fire  and  no  one  would  get 
hurt.  With  considerable  persuasion,  he  got  Solano  to  agree  to  the  decision  of 
General  Vallejo,  whom  they  promptly  sent  an   Indian   runner  to  bring.

Two  Americans  were  cast  away  on  a 
desert  island  in  the  middle  of  the  Pacific 
for  nearly  three  years.  One  day  while  they 
stood  on  the  beach  gazing  out  to  the  hor- 
izon, one  spotted  a  bottle  being  washed 
ashore.  He  raced  out  into  the  surf  and 
pulled  it  in.  It  was  one  of  those  new 
king-sized  Coca-Cola  bottles.  He  looked  at 
it  then  a  frightening  realization  crossed 
his     mind.     "Joe,"     he     shrieked,     "we've 

shrunk!"

General  Vallejo  arrived  and  told  Solano  he  was  very  unwise  in  his  .-'.ct  on 
The  Baroness  and  her  party  must  not  be  molested.  He  also  told  him  to  with' 
draw  his  braves.  Solano  gave  the  command  and  the  Indians  disappeared  as 
mysteriously  as  they  had  appeared.  General  Vallcjo  saw  the  Baroness  and  her 
party  back  to  Fort  Ross.  The  Baroness  loved  to  tell  the  story  of  her  capture 
and  rescue. 

The  Russians  wanted  to  sell  Fort  Ross  to  Vallejo.  In  1841  pipers  were 
drawn  up  for  the  purchase.  Vallejo  went  to  Alvarado  for  permission  to  buy. 
Alvarado  said  "Why  buy  anything,  they  are  trespassing  on  California  soil,  the 
buildings  are  made  from  California  trees  cut  from  California  mountains.  It 
should  be  left  to  the  Spaniards".  Sutter,  always  ready  to  outsmart  Vallejo, 
agreed  to  pay  the  Russians  thirty  thousands  dollars  of  which  he  paid  only  one 
half  in  sporadic  payments.  I  think  Sutter  was  the  first  instigator  of  the  easy 
payment  plan. 

The  Russians  left  California  in  1842,  never  to  return.

Two  camels  trudged  along  side  by  side

Finally  one  of  them  looked  around  fur-

"I  wish  we'd  had  Emily  Post  along  ba-"k

"Why?"  asked   his  companion. 

"Because,"  said  the  lirst.  "I  think  we

After  hiring  the  young  man,  the  em-

"  Pi.t^C^M^li4t" 


During  my  years  as  a  deputy  dis' 
trict  attorney  I  tried  many  cases  in- 
volving the  issue  of  insanity.  All  of 
these  trials  required  the  testimony  of 
expert  witnesses.  One  of  the  most  bril- 
liant  of  such  witnesses  was  Dr.  Edward 
Huntington  Williams  whose  services 
were  frequently  used  by  our  office. 

Dr.  Williams  was  a  tall,  disting- 
uished looking  man  with  a  Vandyke 
beard,  very  polite  and  courteous.  On 
the  witness  stand  he  conveyed  a  dis- 
tinct impression  of  being  cooperative 
with  the  attorneys  and  speedily  won 
the  confidence  of  the  jury. 

Experienced  lawyers  were  wary  in 
cross-examining  him  for  his  quick  rep- 
artee stung  like  the  deep  thrust  of  a 
sharp  rapier.  Probably  considering  him- 
self crafty,  an  attorney  once  asked 
him,  "Doctor,  how  long  did  it  take 
you  to  examine  the  patient''  ''One- 
half  hour,"  was  the  answer.  "How  did 
you  know  it  was  a  half  hour?"  persist- 
ed the  barrister.  Smilingly,  the  doctor 
answered,  "I  knew  you  would  ask  that 
question  so  I  looked  at  my  watch." 

Somewhat  taken  back  by  this  reply 
the  attorney  countered  with  what  he 
thought  was  a  devastating  question: 
"So  you  only  saw  him  for  a  half  hour. 
Tell  me  doctor,  how  could  you  tell 
that  he  was  sane  when  you  had  only 
seen  him  for  the  short  period  of  a  half 
hour?" 

With  great  dignity  Dr.  Williams  an- 
swered. "If  a  doctor  can't  tell  whether 
a  person  is  sane  or  insane  in  a  half 
hour  he  is  not  an  expert!"  As  he  spoke, 
he  turned  to  the  jury  and  smiled.  The 
jurors  smiled  back  and  in  their  minds 
made  the  mental  note:  "Here  is  an  ex- 
pert   who  isn't   a   'stuffed   shirt!'

MAIZELAND  SCHOOL 
FINDS  NEW  HOHE 


]gn      SMALL,  WEATHER-BEATEN  mon- 

J^'yj  ument  to  the  past  history  of 
Rivera,  (now  PicO'  Rivera)  the  old 
Maizeland  School,  formerly  on  Citron- 
ell  Avenue  and  Rex  Road,  symbolizes 
one  of  the  most  important  links  in  the 
long  chain  of  progress  in  this  area.  It 
is  now  located  at  Knott's  Berry  Farm 
in  Buena  Park,  given  to  Mr.  Walter 
Knctt,  a  Native  Son,  by  the  Rivera 
School  District  in  order  that  it  may  be 
preserved. 

Constructed  in  1868  by  early  set- 
tlers, the  cne-rocm  building  v.'as  the 
first  school  in  the  Rivera  District.  Com- 
munity pijneers  made  the  long  tedious 
trip  by  horse  and  wagon  to  Anaheim 
Landing,  at  what  is  now  S^al  Beach, 
to  wait  and  watch  while  the  redwood 
logs  that  would  be  used  to  construct 
their  school  were  dropped  from  a  ship 
onto  a  barge.  The  lumber  was  then 
hauled  to  Rivera  and  work  en  the 
cabin    schoolhouse   was   begun. 

It  was  originally  built  on  Shugg 
Lane,  now  Slauson  Avenue.  Two  of 
the  first  school  teachers  were  F.  W- 
Guthrie  and  Samuel  Burke.  Boys  and 
girls  rode  miles  on  horseback  along 
narrow  dusty  roads  to  attend  their 
daily  lessons. 

For  many  years  the  small  school 
served  its  purpose,  but  with  the  develop- 
ment of  an  irrigation  system  the  com- 
munity began  to  grow.  Soon  the  red- 
wood building  had  to  be  replaced  by 
a  larger  one  and  Rivera's  first  school- 
house  was  moved  to  the  Pallett  Ranch. 

In  time  that  part  of  the  ranch  was 
sold  to  Albert  McDonald,  a  former 
pupil  at  Maizeland,  and  the  school  was 
again  moved — this  time  to  a  location 
near  the  present  Lakewood  Boulevard. 
For  a  time  the  building  housed  the  first 
bicycle  frame  brazing  equipment  in  the 
country  and  later  on  it  was  used  as  a 
storehouse. 

When  McDonald  sold  his  property 
in  1953,  he  donated  the  schoolhouse 
to  the  Rivera  School  District,  express- 
ing a  wish  that  it  might  be  preserved. 
So  once  again  the  schoolhouse,  still 
sturdy  but  unashamedly  showing  signs

er 


of  age  and  wear,  was  moved  again  to 
the  Rivera  School  site. 

When  word  of  McDonald's  dona- 
tion became  known,  many  old  time 
residents  of  Rivera  came  forth  with 
souvenirs  of  early  California.  Time- 
worn  textbooks  and  even  an  ancient 
piano  were  donated  so  that  they  might 
be  preserved  for  posterity  in  the  old 
schoolhouse  museum. 

However,  with  the  recent  fantastic 
growth  of  the  town,  Rivera  School  Dis- 
trict officials  were  hard-pressed  to  keep 
pace  with  the  ever  increasing  enroll- 
ment, and  plans  for  the  little  school 
had  to  be  set  aside  until  some  later  date. 

In  a  sense,  the  construction  of  Maize- 
land  School  marked  a  turning  point  in 
the  history  of  Rivera.  In  the  1860's 
residents  underwent  times  more  peri- 
lous than  they  had  ever  known.  An 
outbreak  of  smallpox  in  '61  continued 
unabated  for  two  years,  nearly  wip- 
ing  out   the  entire   Indian   population. 

The  three  years  that  ensued  were 
years  of  drought.  Crops  withered,  the 
food  supply  was  all  but  exhausted 
and  cattle  by  the  thousands  died  of 
starvation.  The  resultant  depression  of 
currency   brought  more  hard  times   to 


the  settlers  and  scarcity  of  Vw^ater 
caused  ranchers  to  sell  thc'r  land  at  a 
fraction  of  its  value.  Acres  were  ex- 
changed for  a  fev*^  days  supply  of  groc- 
eries. 

Relief  from  the  dry  spell  came  in 
tragic  proportions  during  the  winter 
cf  '67  and  '68  when  the  Sm  Gabriel 
River,  new  knov.n  as  the  Rio  Hondo, 
i\  se  to  flo^d  dimensions.  In  January 
ot  '68  the  rushing  Vv?ater  broke  loose 
near  the  Whittier  Narrows.  The  flood 
rampaged  southward  d3v,^n  the  old  San 
Jcsc  Creek,  forming  the  bed  of  what 
was  later  named  the  San  Gabriel  Riv- 
er. 

This  plentiful  supply  of  water  for 
irrigation  started  new  cultivation  of 
land  and  farmers  depended  less  and 
less  upon  the  raising  of  corn  which  up 
until  this  time  had  been  the  main  crop. 
Soon  afterwards  the  name  of  the  town 
was  changed  from  Maizeland,  derived 
from  the  Indian  word  for  corn,  and  re- 
named Rivera,  or  "between  two  riv- 
ers." 

Prosperity  and  security  gradually 
descended  upon  the  community  and  the 
townspeople  were  able  to  turn  their 
attention  to  the  education  of  their 
children.  The  fruits  of  their  planning 
stands  today  in  the  old  Maizeland 
School,  fore-runner  of  the  modern  Ri- 
vera School  District  System. 

A  fourth  and  final  move  brings  this 
school  to  rest  as  a  museum  piece  at 
Knott's  Berry  Farm  in  Buena  Park. 
The  old  school  was  given  to  Mr  Walter 
Knott  in  1957  to  be  preserved  due  to 
expansion  of  the  Rivera  School  on  Ci- 
tronell. 

The  old  Maizeland  School  has  re- 
cently been  registered  as  a  California 
Historical  Point  of  Interest  and  as  such 
will  be  dedicated  on  November  13, 
1960  The  dedication  is  sponsored  by 
East  Los  Angeks  Parlor  No.  266, 
NDGW.  Grand  President  Edna  C. 
Williams  will  present  the  plaque,  as- 
sisted by  Parlor  President  Mrs.  Ingalls 
Summcrhays  and  History  and  Land- 
marks  Chairman,   Mrs.   Oliver   Butler.

Historical  plaques  marking  the  old 
Angels  Hotel  of  Angels  Camp  and 
the  Prince  i^  Garibardi  Building  at  Al- 
taville  were  dedicated  at  the  City  Park 
of  Angels  Camp  on  July  31  under  the 
sponsorship  of  Princess  Parlor  No.   84 


Mrs.   George  Cooper,  president  of  the 

parlor,  served  as  master  of  ceremonies. 

GP    Edna     C.    Williams    presided. 

Judge  Virgil  Airola  of  Calaveras 
County  delivered  an  interesting  ad' 
dress,  outlining  the  history  of  these 
two  interesting  buildings.  Mayor  John 
Lemue,  former  owner  of  the  Angels 
Hotel,  accepted  the  plaque  on  behalf  of 
the  city  of  Angels.  Mrs.  Delbert  Lee, 
Chairman  of  History  and  Landmarks 
of  Princess  Parlor  and  a  resident  of  Al' 
taville,  accepted  the  Prince  6?  Gari' 
bardi  plaque.  Among  others  present 
were  Mrs.  Charles  F  a  v  i  n  g  e  r,  a 
daughter  of  Bartholomeu  Rommaggi 
Prince,  builder  of  the  Prince  &  Gari' 
bardi  building,  and  Noel  Prince  and 
Carol  Mudd,  both  great  grand  children 
of  the  builder.

BELOW— Prince  &  Garibardi  Building 


The  Angels  Hotel  began  as  a  can' 
vas  structure  in  1851,  but  was  re' 
placed  with  a  one  story  frame  build- 
ing and  then  by  one  of  stone  in  1855. 
The  second  story  was  added  in  1857.  It 
has  been  remodeled  into  an  apartment 
house  and  is  situated  in  the  center 
of  town. 

The  Prince  &  Garibardi  Building 
was  erected  in  Altaville  in  1852  for  a 
general  merchandise  store  and  improved 
in  1857  with  living  quarters  on  the 
second  floor.  It  is  still  being  used  for 
residential  purposes  as  well  as  for  a 
warehouse. 

It  was  in  this  well  known  hotel  that 
Mark  Twain  wrote  his  "Celebrated 
Jumping    Frog   of    Calaveras."

Arcadia  Batidini  drennan 


W  WAS  SIX  YEARS  old  and  still  inter- 
rjj*^  ested  as  usual  in  everything  that 
went  on,  but  to  ask  questions  seemed 
to  annoy  the  grown  people,  so  very 
much,  that  one  youngster  in  the  b-t: 
Scott  family  had  learned  the  best  w.iy 
to  really  know  about  things,  was  just 
listen. 

Good  ears  had  taught  me  so  many, 
many  things.  No  one  would  take  the 
time  to  explain  the  eternal  answer  Tmie 
gave  me.  Such  comments  as,  "You  are 
too  young,"  or  "That  is  of  no  import- 
ance to  little  girls." 

Sometimes,  it  was,  "What  an  inquis- 
itive child  our  guerita  (blonde)  is." 
Always  these  answers,  except  frc.m 
Mother,  who  must  not  be  annoyed  or 
bothered  at  anytime. 

At  the  age  of  six,  I  really  had  come 
a  long  way  alone.  Blondes  were  funn)- 
little  girls  when  the  only  one  in  a  big 
family  of  brunettes. 

It  was  good  for  me,  and  now,  at  sev- 
enty, things  are  so  clear,  so  really  clear. 
Why,  I  can  close  my  eyes  and  see  them 
so  clear,  so  close,  just  as  I  stood  at  the 
hall  window  upstairs  looking  out  to 
wards  the  bay  and  boats  in  the  har- 
bor. The  big  coal  bunkers  at  the  foot 
of  D  Street,  now  Broadway. 

Everything  was  so  beautiful.  The  on- 
ly sound  was  a  buzzing  when  the  breeze 
blew  from  the  ocean  and  bay  inland, 
then  would  come  the  sound  from  down 
by  the  waterfront  so  many  sounds  and 
so  much  to  see  and  hear,  just  by  stand- 
ing at  an  upstairs  window  in  a  big 
house  on  the  northwest  corner  of  First 
and  Ivy  Street,  San  Diego,  California, 
in  1891. 

So  much  to  see  from  this  window, 
as  the  whole  block  in  front  was  just 
sumac  with  its  shining  dark  green 
leaves,  red-tipped  big  bushes,  gray- 
green  sage  brush,  and  piiions  with  the 
delicious  little  nut  we  had  such  fun 
picking  up  from  the  dirt,  cracking  op- 
en, and  eating  with  gusto.

THE  FLAG  OF  THE  PRIVATEER 
HIPPOLYTE  BOUCHARD— 1818 

Part  I 


^^  't^ca^a  S'  /4it(M, 


1958 


/IpiJALIFORNIA  w;is  at- 
'c^  tacked  by  an 
.-utside  f^e  for  the 
first  time  in  1818.  In 
November  of  that  year 
Hipolyte  Bouchard,  a 
Frenchman  in  com- 
mand of  two  Argentine 
privateers,  the  A-rg&n- 
tine  and  the  Santa  Rosa 
entered  Monterey  Bay. 
The  Spaniards  had 
been  warned  of  his  ap- 
proach and  had  sent 
live  stock  and  articles 
of  value  to  the  inland 
missions.  Bouchard  sent 
SIX  landing  boats  which 
were  repulsed  by  Cor- 
poral Jose  Vallejo  in 
charge  of  an  impro- 
vised three  gun  battery 
on  the  beach. 

B  o  u  c  h  a  r  d's  next 
move  was  to  send  a 
group  ashore  under  a 
flag  of  truce  with  a 
formal  demand  of  the 
surrender  of  upper 
California  which  Gov- 
ernor Sola  is  said  to 
ave  rejected  with  the 
eply  that  he  would  re- 
fuse "while  there  was 
a     man     alive     in     the 

province".    Bouchard   then   landed   about    400    men    near  Point   Pinos   and   the 

Spanish  retreated.  Monterey  was  sacked  and  burned. 

Bouchard  sailed   down   the   coast  stopping  at  Refugio  where   three  of  his 

men  were  lassoed  and  captured  by  a  contingent  of  Spaniards  under  Sgt.  Carlos 

Antonio  Carrillo.  In  reprisal  Bouchard  burned  the  village.

The  Grand 
Presidents  Corner 


My  first  official  visit  was  to  Esch- 
schoXtzia  Parlor  No.  112  in  the  little 
town  of  Etna,  Scot  Volley.  I  was  ac 
companied  by  Grand  Marshal  Rhoda 
Roelling.  It  was  my  pleasure  to  be  the 
house  guest  of  Dcrice  Young;  GM 
Rhoda  Roelling  was  the  guest  of  Ber' 
nice  Smith.  Myrtis  Smith  and  Coleen 
Moore  were  welcomed  into  our  Order. 
We  had  the  opportunity  of  visiting 
with  former  Grand  Organist  Minna  K.  . 
Home. 

Leaving  Etna  we  travelled  to  Burney 
Falls  and  on  to  Bieber.  Here  Mt.  Lassen 
No.  215  and  Alturas  No.  159  met  in 
a  joint  meeting.  It  was  a  pleasure  to 
meet  with  Past  Grand  President  Irma 
Laird  in  her  home  parlor. 

On  September  3,  my  husband  and  I 
attended  the  Alemeda  County  Pre 
Admission  Day  Dinner  Dance  at  the 
Castlewood  Country  Club,  Pleasanton. 
Grand  Officers  and  Past  Grand  Presi- 
dents of  both  orders,  City  and  County 
officials  were  in  attendance.  My  com- 
pliments to  the  committee  for  a  job 
well  done. 

Seven  Schools  of  Instructions  have 
been  completed  and  much  has  been  ac- 
complished. To  those  who  attended, 
Grand  Officers,  Supervising  District 
Deputy  Grand  Presidents,  Deputy 
Grand  Presidents  and  members,  my 
sincere  thanks. 

October  will  be  my  first  full  month 
of  official  visits  and  I  am  looking  for- 
ward to  meeting  many  of  you  in  your 
home  Parlors.  The  Junior  Conference 
in  Long  Beach  and  the  Fiesta  at  Sole- 
dad  will  both  take  place  on  October 
9-10.  I  urge  you  to  attend  these  im-

Americanism  and 

Civic  Participation 

By 
Lillian  E.  Simpson,  State  Chairman 

On  June  14,  1777,  one  hundred  and 
eighty-three  years  ago,  when  the  Flag 
of  the  United  States  was  first  official- 
ly recognized  by  the  American  Con- 
gress, it  became  our  Nation's  most 
honored  and  cherished  American  Heri- 
tage. It  has  changed  with  the  Nation, 
reflected  its  achievements,  and  shared 
its  sorrows,  but  never  bowed  in  defeat. 
From  the  time  of  the  original  Flag  of 
thirteen  stars  and  thirteen  stripes,  the 
march  of  the  stars  began.  As  each  new 
State  entered  the  Union  a  star  was 
placed  upon  the  field  of  blue,  until  at 
the  present  time  fifty  stars  rest  there. 
The  last  two  for  our  new  states,  Alas- 
ka and  Hawaii.  It  is  a  glorious  sight  and 
to  present  day  Americans  our  Star 
Spangled  Banner  has  become  a  fixed 
and  secure  symbol  of  our  country  and 
the    "Freedcm    for    which    it    stands.'' 

The  story  of  our  Flag  is  too  detailed 
to  put  into  this  column,  however  we 
know  its  history  from  the  beginning  has 
carried  it  around  the  world  to  many 
countries,  and  to  both  the  North  and 
South  Poles,  where  it  is  flying  as  well 
as  a  journey  on  the  nuclear-powered 
submarines  y{auti\u&  and  Z\ate.  beneath 
the  Arctic  ice  pack  on  the  first  sea 
voyage  to  the  North  Pole. 


Interwoven  in  the  memories  of  our 
American  Flag  is  the  strength  of  Amer- 
ica's great,  the  labors  and  dreams  of 
her  pioneers  and  the  sacrifices  of  her 
war  dead.  Our  Flag,  like  the  Nation, 
belongs  also  to  the  living  and  to  our 
future  generations.  Each  time  we 
"Pledge  Allegiance  to  our  Flag"  and 
sing  the  "Star  Spangled  Banner",  let 
us  as  true  Native  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West  resolve  to  work  more  dil- 
igently in  keeping  our  American  Flag 
flying  on  all  National  holidays  and 
with  it  our  own  California  State  Flag.

Jr.  NDGW  Conference 

by  Irene  Hatch 

State  Chairman 

The  eighth  annual  Conference  of  t!ie 
Junior  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West  was  held  in  Long  Beach,  on  Oc- 
tober 8,  at  the  Lafayette  Hotel.  Mem- 
bers  came  from  as  far  north  as  Ander- 
son,  and  San  Diego  in  the  south.  As 
usual,  this  conference  was  one  of  great 
interest  to  members  of  our  Order.  The 
freshness  and  frankness  of  the  mem- 
bers  of  the  units,  were  enjoyed  by  all. 

This  year  a  dance  was  held  in  the 
Cavalier  Room  of  the  Lafayette  Hotel 
for  all  members,  after  the  banquet.  Dis- 
neyland was  picked  for  the  playday 
activities.  Hostesses  for  the  conference 
wa^  Estrella  del  Mar  Unit  No.  35  from 
ivianhattan   Beach. 

The  Junior  Native  Daughters  have 
been  very  active  this  past  year,  in  the 
project  of  raising  money,  to  send  their 
members  to  the  conference.  As  this 
is  the  first  time  a  conference  has  been 
held  in  the  southern  part  of  the  state, 
much  enthusiasm  has  gone  into  their 
plans  for  attending.  Honored  guests 
included  Mrs.  Edna  Williams,  Grand 
President,  NDGW;  Mrs.  Irene  Hatch, 
State  Chairman  of  the  Junior  Units; 
Mrs.  Constance  Warshaw,  Vice-Chair- 
man, and  the  many  Grand  Officers  and 
Past  Grand  Presidents. 

Great  enthusiasm  has  been  shown 
this  past  year  in  the  units.  Their  social 
and  money  making  activities  have  been 
oustanding,  and  many  contributions 
were  given  to  the  Senior  Parlor  proj- 
ects. 

The  Senior  Order  can  be  justly 
proud  of  their  Junior  members.  It  gives 
us  a  proud  feeling  when  we  realize  they 
will  be  our  future  members.  The  future 
of  the  parlors  will  be  in  very  capable 
hands.  The  girls  work  to  memorize 
their  ritual  work,  with  much  concern. 
This  was  in  evidence  during  the  Grand 
Parlor  of  Native  Daughters  this  year 
when  members  of  Estrella  del  Mar  Un- 
it exemplified  the  Junior  Ritual.  All 
were  very  impressed  by  the  work.  I, 
as  State  Chairman  this  year,  was  so 
proud  of  them,  I  felt  I  would  burst 
with    pride. 

It  is  my  sincere  hope  that  many  more 
units  will  be  formed  throughout  the 
state  in  the  near  future.  If  all  parlors 
would  look  around,  they  would  find 
there  is  a  Junior  Unit  wanting  in  then- 
own   community. 


It  has  been  a  wonderful  experience 
serving  our  Order  this  past  year,  as 
State  Chairman  of  the  Junior  Native 
Daughters.  Getting  an  over-all  picture 
of  all  the  girls  in  the  State  has  been 
some  enlightening.  All  girls  are  the 
same,  I  have  found,  and  the  community 
or  climate  does  not  alter  this.  They  are 
all  good  Calif ornians!

Iridic" 


One  evening  as  I  left  the  court' 
house,  I  was  hailed  by  Deputy  Sheriff 
Archie  Steward.  ''Hey,  Leo,"  he  called, 
"Fd  like  you  to  help  me." 

I  crossed  the  street.  "What's  the 
matter?"  I  asked. 

"I  just  got  a  call  that  there's  a  dead 
man  at  the  Whiting  Ranch.  It's  either 
a  murder  or  a  suicide.  I  just  called  the 
undertaker.  He'll  follow  us.  I'm  start- 
ing after  I  get  a  bite  to  eat.  I'm  pick' 
ing  up  Charley  Brown  (the  coroner) 
on  the  way.  I  wish  you  would  come 
along." 

"OK,"  I  replied. 

A  short  time  later  we  were  at 
Brown's  house  and  from  there  we 
drove  up  Aliso  Canyon  where  we  were 
met  by  Game  Warden  Ed  Atkinson 
and  some  ranchers.  He  announced, 
"It's  X."  (I  shall  not  state  his  name.) 
X  was  a  former  deputy  sheriff  who 
had   fallen  into  evil  companionship. 

With  Atkinson  in  the  lead  we  drove 
over  a  narrow  road  to  where  X  lay. 
He  had  left  two  letters,  one  addressed 
to  his  wife  and  the  other  to  the  cor- 
oner.  Brown  read  aloud  the  one  ad' 
dressed  to  him.  Without  qucsti(ni  X 
had  killed  himself. 

As  we  drove  slowly  back  the  wind' 
ing  trail  the  overhanging  branches  of 
bushes  and  trees  brushed  heavily  against 
the  sheriff's  car,  thoroughly  scratching 
its  sides. 

Nothing  was  said  for  some  time. 
Then  Archie  burst  forth  with  pent  up 
bitterness.  "Look  at  my  car,"  he  ex' 
claimed.  "I've  just  had  it  polished.  X 
was  once  a  deputy  sheriff.  He  knew 
we'd  have  to  go  after  his  body.  Wliy 
didn't  he  shoot  himself  in  town?"

Rustic  and  stir  when  the  wind  drifts  hy, 
Novcr.ihcr's  women  nod  and  chat 
As  they  knit  and  crochet  and  darn 

and  tat. 
Each  (  ne  tries  not  to  brag  of  her  son 
Or  tell  what  her  clever  daughter  has 

done. 
Th'ough  her  heart  still  yearns  for  her 

children,  grown.

\J'.  \t  ihcy  say  does  not  matter, 

much. 

Oh,  lucky  the  stalks  in  the  old  corn' 

patch 
That  rustle  and  wait  for  the  farmer's 

match. 
They  have  borne  good  fruit  that 

holds  the  seed 
Of  future  crops.  They  have  no  need 
Of  further  care.  Corn  does  not  grow 
Roots  as  deep  as  a  woman's  go. 
And  the  stalk  is  dead  that  boasts  no 

green; 
It  has  no  heart,  no  mind  still  keen. 

Shield  and  armor,  this  idle  talk. 

To  protect  the  heart  in  the 

human  stalk.

Cloud-ships  afloat  in  the  far-away 

blue, 
Drifting  and  sailing  the  lazy  day

Oh,  gift  that  is  priceless;  thc   leisure

PROSPECTING    UNAWARES 

MIRAGES  LEND  no  glamour  to  my 
plodding. 
I  only  go  this  way  because  I  must. 
But  sometimes  resting,  weary, 

footsore,  nodding, 
I  sift  a  golden  granule  from  the  dust. 


IN    THE    SHADOW    OF    PALOMAR 

fHE  VALLEY  drowses  in  deep 
content 
In  the  shadow  of  Palomar, 
Siesta  quiet  undisturbed 

By  conflicts  waged  afar. 
At  dawn  -  at  dusk  '  the  mission  bells 

Echo  from  hill  to  hill 
With  a  tranquil  message  of  peace 
and  love 
And  a  note  that  is  deeper  still. 
For  the  colorful  past  is  sleeping  here 

Where  Palomar 's  shadow  falls. 
Sunlight  gently  wreathes  each  cross 

Within  the  mission  walls. 
The  river  flows  on  unconcerned 

But  the  cottonwoods  stir  and  sigh 
As  though  they  roused  from   dreams 
to  watch 
A  stranger  passing  by. 


ABOUT  THE  AUTHOR 

Grace  C.  Constable,  a  chartey 
member  of  Pasadena  Parlor  7S[o. 
290,  is  a  descendant  of  covered  wag' 
on  pioneers  from  V^isconsin  who 
settled  in  the  San  Joaquin  Valley  in 
1853.  However,  she  has  lived  most 
of  her  life  in  Southern  California. 
Material  for  many  of  her  poems 
was  found  during  lonely  years  spent 
on  an  1100  acre  ranch  near  the  Pala 
Mission  in  San  Diego  County.  She 
also  writes  stories  fur  adults  and 
children. 


BELLS    UPON    THE    WIND 

^  ISTANT  BELLS  upon  the  wind. 
Why  do  they  rouse  this  need  in  me 
Who  never  knelt  at  sacrament? 
Who  never  kissed  a  rosary? 

They  bring  thc  reverence,  the  faith 
Of  all  the  years  that  bells  have  swung 
In   towers  tall  against   the  sky  .   .   . 
Murmured  prayers  in  every  tongue. 

Peoples  of  the  earth  respond 

And  I,  aloof,  undisciplined. 

Must  humbly  join  them  when  I  hear 

The  sound  of  bells  upon  the  wind. 


HILLTOP    MOMENT 

i-iET  ME    FIND   a  hilltop 

Where  poppies  spread  their  gold 
And  meadow-larks  are  singing 
As  grasses  sway  and  fold. 
There  I  shall  view  a  canvas 
Not  brushed  by  human  hand; 
The  blue  of  distant  mountains, 
The  brown  of  fallowed  land 
And  if  I  listen  closely 
There  will  come  to  me 
The  cadences  of  music  — 
Thc  rhythm  of  poetry.

THE    POET'S    CANVAS 


BRACE  MY  easel  on  a  cloud 

And  with  brush  in  hand 
Paint  the  subjects  close  to  me; 

People  I  understand. 
The  neighbor  with  the  crippled  child, 

The  widower  next  door. 
The  little  high-school  girl  who  works 

Part  time  in  a  candy  store. 
I  peep  beneath  the  masks  they  wear. 

I  see  the  hurts  unhealed, 
The  dreams  that  are  so  wonderful 

They  cannot  be  revealed. 
And  so  with  understanding 

Inside  my  frame  I  place 
The  beauty  of  each  character 

And  gently  veil  each  face. 
My  subjects,  passing,  smile  at  me. 

They  never  recognize 
Themselves  upon  my  canvas 

That  leans  against  the  skies.

The  ChUcan  Insurgent  Vessel  "Itata"  in  San  Diego  Harbor.  Coro- 

nado  shown  to  the  left;  North  Island  to  the  right;  Point  Loma  in 

the  background. 


Ij^  o  houses  broke  the  view  in  those 
days.  One  could  see  right  down  two 
blocks  to  the  big  Middletown  School, 
on  past  a  few  stray  houses,  a  big  barn- 
like  structure  to  the  Santa  Fe  depot  on 
the  bay  front;  the  big  wharf,  with  the 
coal  bunkers;  our  lovely  bay;  Coronado, 
a  barren  wasteland;  a  big  hotel  being 
built  there.  One  already  stood  near  the 
ferry  slip;  the  Iturbide;  North  Island, 
a  complete  wasteland;  Point  Loma  to 
the  west  and  the  beautiful  blue  Pacific 
ocean  reaching  way  out  into  space,  only 
the  Coronado  Islands  so  clear  cut 
against  the  horizon. 

They  fascinated  me  often,  as  on 
some  days  two  rows  of  islands  would 
show  up — one  row  just  above  the  other, 
at  other  times,  the  top  row  would 
appear  to  be  upside  down,  just  the 
points  touching,  so  odd  looking.  If  Pa- 
pa was  home  he  would  call  us  young- 
sters to  come  and  see  a  mirage  acting 
up. 

Looking  east  and  south,  one  saw 
Mesa  Grande  (Table  Mountain)  in 
Mexico  and  the  far  reaching  land 
stretching  way  down  alongside  of  the 
Pacific  ocean   of  Lower  California. 

A  soft  buzzing  sound  came  up  from 
one  of  the  barn-like  buildings,  and  I 
knew  the  big  saws  in  there  were  at 
work  on  logs,  cutting  them  into  boards 
with  the  round  wheel  saws  so  they 
could  be  used  to  build  with. 

Big  rafts  of  tree  logs  were  always 
in  our  bay,  floating  so  easily  and  the 

PAGE  4 


little  wavelets  splashed  so  softly,  as 
the  tide  would  come  in.  At  times,  I 
could  see  them  floating  round  North 
Island  in  the  bay  near  Point  Loma, 
never  realizing  what  these  logs  meant 
to  San  Diego,  or  its  growth. 

The  other  big  barn  was  a  blacksmith 
shop.  It  enticed  many  youngsters  into 
the  dark  interior,  to  watch  the  sparks 
fly  as  the  smith  would  swing  his  heavy 
iron  hammer  in  one  hand,  down  on  the 
piece  of  red-hot  iron  he  had  picked  out 
of  the  hot  forge  nearby,  as  it  rested  on 
an  anvil  on  a  heavy  stand.  Those  hot 
pieces  he  held  in  long  tongs.  Also,  we 
would  be  interested  in  the  big  bellows 
hanging  from  a  beam  and  worked  with 
a  rope  that  had  many  knots  in  it. 

Such  work,  so  much  there  and  final- 
ly a  horsehoe  would  be  seen,  as  a  siz- 
zling attracted  our  attention  when  it 
was  dipped  into  a  tub  of  water.  The 
names  of  the  two,  who  ran  the  place, 
were  Hilbe  and  Koop.  I  do  not  remem- 
ber which  ran  which. 

Those  sounds  still  murmuring  softly 
in  the  breeze,  caused  me  to  hope  that 
Luisa,  our  Indian  nurse,  would  take  us 
for  a  walk,  maybe,  down  toward  the 
depot,  or,  over  toward  the  big  can- 
yons off  of  Sixth  Street,  where  we 
could  gather  yellow  violets  and  wild 
maidenhair  ferns.  Many  wild  flowers 
grew  all  over  San  Diego  in  those  days. 
There  were  the  now  famous  yellow 
poppy,  our  State  flower,  buttercups, 
Indian  paint  brush  with  its  short 
straight  stem,  sometimes  six  and  may- 


Arcadia  Bandini  Brennan 


be  eight  inches  long,  vivid  green 
leaves,  going  into  a  red  flower  top 
with  a  white  top-knot.  These  were 
small,  one  little  hand  could  easily  pick 
and  hold,  to  carry  home  to  Mother  or 
Aunt   Dora. 

No  use  yearning,  Luisa  was  busy 
with  the  smaller  ones.  No  use,  home 
was  for  us  all  day,  when,  as  I  leaned 
a  little  harder  on  the  windowpane, 
flattening  my  nose,  suddenly,  big  puffs 
of  smoke  appeared  in  the  sky,  over  a 
ship  that  I  was  watching  going  out  of 
the  bay  between  North  Island  and 
Point  Loma. 

The  big  guns  of  Fort  Rosecrans  start- 
ed booming  for  all  they  were  worth, 
sending  more  smoke  in  front  of  the 
ship.  All  was  excitement.  Even  Moth- 
er had  come  from  her  room  to  see  what 
I  was  so  excited  about.  Aunt  Dora 
and  the  older  ones,  too.  All  talking 
fast  in  Spanish  and  English  as  usual. 
Even  Chow,  the  Chinese  cook  stood 
in  the  hallway.  Something  unusual  had 
happened.  All  were  excited.  What 
could  it  be? 

No  telephones  in  those  days;  no  ra- 
dio announcers;  no  nothing;  talking  on- 
ly. They  must  wait  until  Papa  got 
home.  He  would  know,  because  he  was 
a  lawyer  and  civil  engineer  also.  Soon 
he  arrived.  Yes,  he  knew  what  had 
taken  place.  The  Itaia,  a  Chilean  war- 
ship, that  was  interned  in  the  bay,  and 
carrying  contraband  arms,  had  tried  to 
sneak  out,  but  the  big  guns  at  the  fort 
had  stopped  her. 

It  was  not  until  I  heard  Papa's  voice 
that  I  left  the  window  as  I  had  stayed 
there  watching  the  ship  come  back  to 
where  it  had  been  anchored  in  the  bay. 

Since  I  was  just  a  six  year  old  child, 
this  event  that  took  place  in  1891 
meant  no  fear,  only  excitement.  The 
cannons  had  been  shot  off  from  Fort 
Rosecrans,    wonderful!

ijl  SAN  LUIS  OBISPO  home  built 
;i5i^  before  the  Civil  War,  known 
as  the  "Dallidet  Adobe"  is  located  on 
the  corner  of  Pacific  and  Toro  Streets, 
on  the  curve  of  San  Luis  creek,  in  the 
city  of  San  Luis  Obispo.  Pierre  Hyp' 
polite  Dallidet,  born  in  France,  came 
to  California  in  1851  and  settled  in 
San  Luis  Obispo  in  1853,  where  he 
developed  a  vineyard  and  an  orchard 
on  200  acres  of  land.  The  adobe  was 
acquired  by  Monsieur  Dallidet  in  1860 
from  Gabriel  Zala2,ar,  his  father'in' 
law,  who  had  built  it  in  1853.  Its 
hand-hewn  pine  timbers  were  brought 
here  from  Cambria  on  backs  of  steers. 

The  San  Luis  ObispO'  County  Mu' 
scum  possesses  four  photostats  pertain' 
ing  to  the  Dallidet  adobe.  One  is  the 
petition  for  grant  obtained  by  P.  H. 
Dallidet  of  the  American  title  to  his 
San  Luis  Obispo  property.  The  United 
States  patent  to  Charles  H.  Johnson, 
trustee  of  the  township  of  San  Luis 
Obispo,  was  granted  on  November  13, 
1873,  but  the  board  of  township  trus- 
tees granted  to  P.  H.  Dallidet  his  title 
to  the  land  on  March  22,  1872.  As 
in  legal  land  matters  of  that  time,  ir- 
regularities in  dates  occur. 

Pierre  Hyppolite  Dallidet  married 
Asencion  Zalazar  and  they  were  par- 
ents of  seven  children.  One  son  Paul, 
the  last  surviving  member  of  the  fam- 

NOVEMBER,   1960 


ily  in  San  Luis  Obispo,  bequeathed 
the  family  home  (which  had  never 
been  lived  in  by  anyone  other  than 
the  Dallidets)  to  the  San  Luis  Obispo 
County  Historical  society  in  1953  in 
memory  of  his  father.  The  donor  re- 
tained a  life  interest  in  the  property. 
When  he  died  in  1958,  the  historical 
society,  as  legal  owners,  began  the 
restoration.  The  society  has  endeav- 
ored to  retain  the  true  flavor  of  the 
century-old  adobe  and  of  the  gardens. 
The  Dallidet  furniture,  and  the  orig- 
inal paintings,  books  and  objects  d'art 
have  been  used  throughout  the  adobe. 

On  September  1 1 ,  this  historical 
landmark  was  dedicated.  Mrs.  A.  Gam- 
boni, past  president  of  San  Luisita  No 
108  NDGW  was  chairman  of  the  aft- 
ernoon and  opened  the  ceremonies  with 
an  address  of  welcome  and  later  in- 
troduced the  speakers.  Mrs.  George 
Ross,  president  of  the  Parlor  led  the 
pledge  of  allegiance  to  the  flag.  Dis- 
tinguished guests  included  PGP  Ei- 
leen Dismuke,  member  also  of  the 
State  Historical  Landmarks  Advisory 
Committee,  GT  Katie  Jewett  of  Cam- 
bria, Mrs.  Leroy  Dart,  curator  of  the 
county  historical  museum  and  regional 
vice-president  of  Conference  of  Cali- 
fornia Historical  Societies,  Mayor  and 
Mrs.  Fred  Waters,  and  Supervisor  and 
Mrs.  Fred  Kimball. 


Among  the  speakers  were  Ruth 
Paulding,  president  of  San  Luis  Obis- 
po Historical  Society,  who  gave  the 
history  of  the  Adobe,  Anita  Hathe- 
way,  Jr.  Past  President  of  the  Histori- 
cal Society,  who  spoke  of  reminiscences 
of  the  Dallidet  Adobe  and  GT  Katie 
Jewett  whose  address  stressed  the  love 
of  home  as  a  theme.  The  ritualistic 
dedication  was  conducted  by  Elsie 
Loose,  president  of  San  Miguel  No.  94. 
The  formal  dedication  of  the  plaque 
was  made  by  Mrs.  Gamboni  who 
closed  with  the  words,  "I  dedicate  this 
bronze  plaque  as  California  Historical 
Landmark  No.  720  to  loyalty,  coop- 
eration, progress  and  to  the  ideals  of 
American  democracy."

November  24,  1960  will  commem- 
orate the  247th  anniversary  of  the 
birth  of  California's  beloved  Father 
Junipero  Serra.  Many  miles  separate 
California  from  the  land  of  his  birth, 
in  the  town  of  Petra,  on  the  Isle  of 
Mallorca  in  the  Mediterranean  Sea, 
but  we  share  in  honoring  this  great 
Padre  who  is  recognized  the  world  over 
as  founder  of  our  California  missions 
and  who  contributed  the  most  to  the 
civilization  and  progress  of  California. 

The  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gold- 
en West,  with  the  co-sponsorship  of 
the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West 
are  spearheading  the  drive  to  place 
a  statue  of  Father  Junipero  Serra  in 
the  Capitol  at  Sacramento.  This  action 
has  the  endorsement  of  both  Grand 
Parlors,  Governor  Brown  and  Direc- 
tor of  Finance  John  Carr. 

In  1931  California  selected  Junipero 
Serra  as  the  representative  of  Califor- 
nia in  the  Statuary  Hall  in  Washing- 
ton, D.C.  Statues  are  found  in  our 
State  in  many  parks,  plazas,  and  court-

Each  month  the  CaUfornia  Herald 
gives  your  Grand  President  the  op- 
portunity of  extending  a  cheery  "Hel'

also  gives  you  the  opportunity  of 
knowing  the  activities  of  the  Parlors 
throughout  the  State  as  well  as  gain- 
ing knowledge  of  the  history  of  Cali- 
fornia from  the  many  articles  appear- 
ing in  the  maga2,ine.  If  we  are  to  con-

make  every  effort  to  increase  our  sub-

so,  won't  you  send  in  your  subscrip-

Events  of  the  month  of  September 
in  which  I  feel  that  the  membership 
will  be  interested  included  the  State- 
wide celebration  of  Admission  Day 
which  4)roved  to  be  most  successful. 
Our  thanks  to  those  who  worked  so 
hard,  we  were  proud  to  have  had  a 
part  in  the  parade.  The  Alameda 
County  Founders  Day  and  Childrens 
Foundation  Luncheon  sponsored  by 
the  S.D.D.G.P.  and  D.G.P's.  of  Ala- 
meda County  was  well  attended  and 
most  enjoyable.  Thanks  to  my  own 
county  for  a  wonderful  day.  The  re- 
ception given  by  the  S.D.D.G.P.  and 
D.G.P's  of  San  Francisco  County,  hon- 
oring their  Grand  President  was  an- 
other very  lovely  event.  Thanks  to  my 
"Fuchias"  for  adding  another  very 
beautiful  page  in  my  book  of  memories. 

During  the  month  of  November  our 
thoughts  turn  to  those  who  in  past 
years  gave  their  lives  that  we  might 
enjoy  the  privilege  that  we  as  Ameri-

BOUCHARD 
sailed  soutli 
to  Santa  Cruz  Is- 
land where  he  took 
on  wood  and  wat- 
er. Then  he  pro- 
ceeded to  Santa 
Barbara  whose  res- 
idents had  been 
awaiting  him  with 
apprehension.  He 
sent  a  boat  ashore 
under  a  flag  of 
truee  and  after 
some  parleying  ex- 
changed some  pris- 
oners and  left. 

O  n  December 
14,  1818,  he  ar- 
rived at  San  Juan 
Capistrano.  The 
padres  had  already 
moved  most  of  the 
Mission's  valuables 
to  their  Trabuco 
Rancho  and  the 
people  of  the  town 
had  fled  to  the

At  daybreak,  on  the  next  day,  Bouchard  landed  a  force  of  140  well 
armed  men.  The  Spanish  soldiers  fired  a  few  shots  and  ran.  Peter  Corncy, 
an  Englishman  commanding  one  of  Bouchard's  ships,  wrote,  ''we  found  the 
town  well  stocked  with  everything  but  money  and  destroyed  much  wine  and 
spirits  and  all  the  public  property  ....  and  about  two  o'clock  we  marched 
back,  though  not  in  the  order  we  went,  many  of  the  men  being  intoxicated." 
Bouchard  sailed  away  and  did  not  disturb  any  other  California  port.

GOLD  OF  OPHIR  PARLOR 

In  co'operation  with  the  "Sidewalk 
Days"  held  in  Oroville,  by  the  Mer' 
chants  Association  of  the  Junior  Cham' 
ber  of  Commerce,  Past  President's 
Assn.  No.  5  NDGW,  under  the  chair- 
manship of  Alberta  Martin,  sold  can' 
dy  and  nut  bread  from  a  station  on 
Myers  Street. 


NUCjW  members  play  records  on  old  music 
box. 

Gold  of  Ophir  Parlor  No.  190,  was 
given  the  privilege  of  setting  up  an' 
other  station  in  "Miner's  Alley"  for 
the  sale  of  bags  of  "Golden  Nuggets" 
(home  made  penuche  in  yellow  taf' 
feta  silk  bags),  white  elephants  and 
old  books.  Evelyn  Joslyn  was  chair' 
man  of  this  station.  All  members  who 
assisted  in  the  three  day  sales  were 
dressed  in  old  fashioned  dresses. 

Audrey  Sharp  entertained  during 
the  sales  by  playing  an  old  fashioned 
music  box.  People  who  passed  thru 
the  alley  were  fascinated  by  the  si2;e 
of  the  thin  metal  records.  The  music 
could  be  heard  the  entire  length  of 
the  alley. 

SCHOLARSHIP 

Eight  parlors  in  the  northern  part 
of  the  State  have  joined  in  financing 
a  $100  scholarship  award  for  a  sec 
ond  year  student  attending  Shasta 
College.  This  project  began  in  1954 
and  the  number  of  parlors  participat' 
ing  has  increased  each  year.  Donations 
are  made  by  parlors  in  the  area  Shas' 
ta  College  serves. 

This  year  parlors  contributing  to 
the    project    were    Olivia  of   Corning;

HISTORIC  LANDMARKS  SAVED 

A  few  months  ago  there  was  danger 
of  one  block  of  historic  "Miner's  Al' 
ley",  between  Myers  and  Huntoon 
Streets  in  Oroville,  being  razed  to 
provide  a  new  parking  lot.  Under  the 
leadership  of  James  Lenhoff,  a  meet' 
ing  of  adjacent  property  owners  was 
held  to  protest.  A  Heritage  Council 
was  formed  with  Mattie  R.  Lund, 
past  president  of  Gold  of  Ophir  No. 
190  as  president  and  Mr.  Lenhoff  as 
secretary.  Florence  D.  Boyle  was  named 
as  a  director. 

Within  a  few  months  property 
owners  on  the  north  side  of  Miner's 
Alley  have  started  restoration  of  their 
properties.  Many  of  the  old  iron  doors, 
which  are  still  in  place,  have  been  re 
painted.  A  search  for  photographs  of 
business  houses  in  this  section  have 
come  to  light  to  assist  in  reestablish' 
ing  the  "old  look"  of  early  days  of 
Ophir  City,  now  Oroville. 

Iron  arches  have  been  placed  at 
both  entrances  to  the  alley.  On  Sep' 
tember  21  ceremonies  were  held  in 
Miner's  Alley  and  presentation  of  the 
arches  made  to  the  City  by  the  Heri' 
tage  Council.  Members  of  Gold  of

OLD  HORSE  CAR  WINS 

PLAUDITS  IN  PARADE 

by  Clara  M.  Barton 

During  the  Admission  Day  parade 
this  year  in  Richmond,  Horsecar  No. 
2  won  recognition  from  the  spectators 
along  the  route.  The  car  loaned  to 
Berkeley  Parlor  210  NSGW  was 
mounted  on  a  truck  chassis  and  towed 
by  a  pick'up  driven  by  Don  Williams, 
the  husband  of  GP  Edna  Williams. 
Miss  Clara  Barton  of  Sequoia  Parlor 
272,  rode  the  car  throughout  the  pa- 
rade route  and  was  joined  by  some  of 
the  members  of  the  marching  unit  aft- 
er that  unit  had  passed  the  reviewing 
stand.

hind Miss  Barton  and  Stanley  Hall  on  rear 
step.  The  three  children  are  future  mem- 
bers of  the  Order. 

The  horse  car  was  once  owned  by 
Claremont,  University  and  Ferries 
Railroad  in  Berkeley.  The  earliest 
driver  was  Pete  Dean.  The  builder  of 
the  car  was  the  John  Hammond  Car 
Company  of  San  Francisco,  date  un- 
known. However,  the  number  and 
name  of  the  builder  is  still  visible  in 
the  car's  interior.  The  car,  holding  less 
than  a  dozen  passengers,  was  drawn 
by  two  horses  who  learned  rapidly  the 
meaning  of  the  clanging  of  the  bells. 
The  horsedrawn  car  and  its  friendly 
operators  were  a  welcome  sight  from 
its  beginning  in  the  spring  of  1885  to 
1904.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  Car 
No.  2  was  formerly  numbered  No.  8, 
the  number  being  changed  on  May  21, 
1891,  when  the  C  U  and  F  company

became  the  owners.  It  operated  from 
Shattuck  and  Center  Streets  t;i  the 
Southern  Pacific  depot  in  Berkeley, 
then  on  Delaware  St.,  to  Sacramento 
St.  extending  out  to  Peralta  Park  and 
finally  to  West  Berkeley. 

When  the  line  was  abandoned  in 
1900,  Horsecar  No.  2  was  sold  to  a 
pioneer  Berkeley  family  as  a  play- 
house for  their  children.  It  was  dis- 
covered in  their  backyard  in  1948  by 
Louis  Stein,  one  of  the  directors  of 
the  Pacific  Coast  Chapter  of  the  Rail- 
way and  Locomotive  Historical  So- 
ciety who  recognized  its  historical  val- 
ue. With  considerable  expense,  it  has 
been  restored  to  its  former  glory,  and 
is  now  owned  by  this  Society.  The 
wheel  boxes  still  in  the  preservation 
stage  indicated  that  it  was  narrow 
gauge.

OLDEST  MEMBER 

Martha  Farris  Collins,  familiarly 
known  as  Mattie,  was  one  of  the  old- 
est members  of  the  NDGW.  Born  in 
Petaluma  in  1868,  she  became  a  char- 
ter member  of  Las  Lomas  Parlor  in 
1893  and  later  served  as  president. 
At  the  close  of  the  Spanish-American 
War  she  was  one  of  the  girls  who 
welcomed  the  vetreans  home  who  had 
seen  service  in  the  Philippines.  She 
was   an    active   member  of   her  Parlor 

until  her  death  September  15,  1960.

SF  DEPUTIES

Founder's  Day  with  small  Bear  Flags, 
a  gift  of  the  chairman,  at  each  place. 
The  pledge  of  allegiance  was  led  by 
Zelma  Buckholz;  the  invocation  by 
Lucille  Kimbark  and  a  welcome  was 
given  by  chairman  Jaredna  Johnson. 
The  beautiful  "Happy  74th  Year

all  clothing  worn  by  patients  in  the 
Geriatric  Wards.  Buttons  by  the  doz- 
ens are  replaced  each  sewing  day;  rips, 
tears  and  zippers  are  mended  and  the 
garments  made  ready  for  use  again. 
In  the  past  year  a  total  of  210  hours 
have  been  given  to  this  work  alone. 

In  the  Women's  T.B.  Ward  each 
patient  receives  a  birthday  gift,  some- 
times it  being  the  only  remembrance 
received.  Throughout  the  year  parties 
with  delicious  refreshments  are  enjoyed 
in  both  the  T.B.  and  Geriatric  Wards. 
Native  Daughters  stand  high  in  the  es- 
teem of  both  the  patients  and  the  staff 
of  the  hospital.  This  work  has  been  a 
source  of  great  satisfaction  in  the 
thought  of  being  of  service  to  all  man- 
kind. Mrs.  Pauline  Johnson  is  Parlor

been  named  for  him.  But  in  our  state 
Capitol,  we  find  nothing  at  all  and  this 
is  the  reason  we  feel  it  is  our  respon- 
sibility as  natives  of  this  great  State 
to  place  a  statue  there  of  Serra  simi- 
lar to  the  one  in  the  nation's  capitol. 

Plans  are  being  formulated  to  gain 
participation  by  other  organisations 
and  citizezns  and  will  be  announced 
shortly.  Parlors  of  the  Native  Sons  and 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West 
should  participate  fully  in  this  drive. 
There  are  many  ways  in  which  effec- 
tive assistance  may  be  given.  Members 
may  form  speakers  groups  and  ask  for 
a  few  minutes  time  to  address  the 
other  organizations  within  the  com- 
munity asking  for  their  support  of  the 
project.  Publicity  in  local  papers  con- 
cerning the  project  is  certainly  needed. 
A  "Serra  Statue  Day"  could  be  des- 
ignated within  the  community  through 
cooperation  of  the  Mayor  and  contri- 
butions solicited. 

Contributions  should  be  sent  marked 
"Serra  Statue  Fund"  in  care  of  the 
office,  614  Central  Tower  Bldg,  703 
Market  St.,  San  Francisco  3,  Califor- 
nia. It  is  hoped  that  this  goal  may  be 
accomplished  within  two  or  three 
years.  Perhaps  on  the  250th  anniver- 
sary of  his  birth,  Nov.  24,  1963,  the 
statue  could  be  dedicated.

CALIFORNIA  HISTORY 
AND  LANDMARKS 

by  FLORENCE  G.  dOYLE,  PGP 
State  Chat  man 

A  beautiful  heritage  was  left  to  the 
people  of  California  by  our  Pioneer 
Fathers  and  Mothers  in  the  building 
of  our  Golden  State  on  the  shores  ot 
the  Pacific  Ocean.  May  we  always 
keep  this  in  mind  and  cherish  the  op' 
portunity  to  continue  where  they  left 
off.  Lives  and  fortunes  were  sacri' 
ficed  by  many  on  that  long  trek  across 
the  plains,  and  by  those  who  came 
around  the  Horn  in  sailing  vessels,  as 
well  as  those  who  took  a  route  across 
the  Isthmus  of  Panama,  to  this  new 
"Land  of  Hope  and  Golden  Promise.'' 
Some  came  in  search  of  gold,  for 
adventure,  to  find  a  place  to  regain 
good  health,  and  others  to  try  to  for' 
get  a  great  sorrow.  Some  returned 
later  to  their  original  homes,  but  the 
majority  stayed  and  laid  the  founda- 
tion of  the  31st  State  in  the  Union. 
I,  personally  feel  the  two  most  impor- 
tant stones  laid  in  this  great  structure 
shoiilld  be  marked  "Preservation  of 
Cali*^r/rnia  History"  and  "Land  Marks" 
showing  where  some  important  his- 
torical event  took  place. 

In  the  first  few  years  after  the  in- 
flux of  1849  there  seemed  to  be  no 
time  to  make  records  of  events.  Much 
history  has  been  lost.  In  some  areas 
that  one  time  were  crowded  mining 
camps  are  now  listed  as  Ghost  Towns. 
Yet,  history  was  made  in  those  spots. 
Have  they  been  marked?  If  not,  why 
not?  We  must  be  alert.  With  the 
present  day  of  "Progress"  many  his- 
torical places  are  being  erased.  New 
people  do  not  seem  to  have  the  senti- 
ment in  their  hearts  that  we,  the  de- 
scendants of  the  pioneers,  have.  On 
the  other  hand  there  is  an  increasing 
interest  for  research  by  many. 

May  I  ask  the  residents  of  each 
community  a  question?  Has  a  history 
of  YOUR  community  been  written? 
If  not,  will  some  reader  of  this  article, 
proceed  at  once  to  do  so?  Otherwise 
the  history  is  lost.  Many  plaques  and 
monuments  have  been  erected  to  call 
attention  to  historic  spots  or  places. 
With  every  placing  "we  are  carrying 
on."  I  am  most  happy  to  find  the  ele- 
mentary, high  schools  and  colleges  are 
interesting  their  pupils  and  students 
in   research.   The   new   idea   of   micro-

JOSEPH  CHAPMAN 


BY  ESTHER  BAIRD 


WHEN  WORD  reached  southern 
Cahfornia  that  the  Pirate 
Bouchard  had  captured  and  burned 
Monterrey  and  that  he  was  coming 
south,  there  was  consternation  every 
where.  Terror  was  real  to  the  pioneers 
near  Gaviota  when  two  pirate  ships 
anchored  off  shore  just  out  of  gunshot 
range  in  1818.  A  motley  crew  swarmed 
the  decks  of  the  Santa  Rosa.  Daggers 
and  cutlasses  were  being  distributed 
amidship  while  swarthy  negroes  strug- 
gled to  clear  the  boats  for  an  attack 
on  the  group  of  abodes  nestling  among 
the  green  hills  a  few  miles  from  shore. 

A  tall,  powerfully  built  Yankee 
stood  out  among  the  men,  not  only  be- 
cause of  his  stature,  but  more  on  ac- 
count of  his  hair,  blonde  as  wheat 
straw  in  the  fields  in  autumn.  The 
blonde  pirate  brushed  aside  several  men 
and  with  a  powerful  lunge  freed  the 
boat  from  its  cradle.  Seated  in  the  fore- 
most landing  boat  on  the  restless  Pa- 
cific was  this  pirate,  Joseph  Chapman, 
a  man  destined  to  be  one  of  the  most 
attractive,  most  romantic,  most  admired 
and  most  resourceful  characters  among 
the  pioneers  of  California. 

As  the  pirates  neared  the  small  cove 
with  its  sandy  beach,  no  one  was  to  be 
seen.  No  cattle  grazed  on  the  green 
hills,  no  vaqueros  raced  their  horses 
over  the  countryside.  Unknown  to  the 
pirates,  that  very  morning  a  detach- 
ment of  soldiers  had  arrived  in  response 
to  a  call  for  aid.  Even  now  they  were 
waiting  in  ambush  in  a  clump  of  wil- 
lows near  the  beach,  their  horses  out  of 
sight  in  a  nearby  canyon. 

As  the  pirate  landing  party  neared 
the  sandy  shore,  a  swirling  wave  caused 
the  blond  pirate's  boat  to  capsi2;e.  The 
Californians  rushed  from  cover,  firing 
their  blunderbusses.  The  other  boats 
turned  back,  but  Chapman  was  forced 
to  make  his  way  through  the  surf  to 
the  shore.  Instead  of  shooting  him,  the 
vaqueros  lassoed  him  and  dragged  him 
onto  the  beach.  According  to  histor- 
ians, this  downeast  Yankee,  the  first 
American  settler  to  arrive  in  California, 
was  to  become  a  coUosal  figure  in  the 
days  when  Los  Angeles  was  still  El 
Pueblo  and  the  Franciscan  missions 
were  at  the  height  of  their  glory. 


Rear  view  of  San  Gabriel  Mission  1876. 


There  was  heated  discussion  on  what 
to  do  with  the  prisoner.  Some  suggested 
tying  him  behind  a  horse  and  frighten- 
ing the  animal  so  the  prisoner  would 
be  dragged  to  his  death.  He  was  finally 
sentenced  to  a  firing  squad.  At  this 
time  Guadelupe  Ortega,  beautiful 
daughter  of  the  owner  of  the  nearby 
rancho,  pleaded  for  his  life. 

A  padre,  believing  his  story  that  he 
was  an  honest  man  caught  among 
thieves,  translated  to  the  others.  "The 
pirate  was  a  resident  of  Maine,"  he 
explained,  "Who  left  his  country  on  a 
whaling  ship.  In  the  Sandwich  Islands 
he  was  forced  into  the  service  of  the 
pirate  Bouchard."  "Furthermore,"  the 
padre  said,  "He's  better  than  ten  In- 
dians". 

It  was  decided  to  free  Chapman  if 
someone  would  be  responsible  for  him. 
Don  Antonio  Lupe,  an  old  California 
soldier,  volunteered  to  take  charge  of 
the  blonde  pirate.  The  easy,  hospitable, 
friendly  manner  in  which  the  prisoner 
had  been  treated  in  California  awak- 
ened in  him  an  appreciation  of  the 
Spanish  and  a  love  for  their  country. 
With  the  soldier  he  set  out  on  a  horse 
for  Los  Angeles. 

At  that  time  the  foundations  were 
being  laid  for  the  mission  church  in 
the  plaza  of  Los  Angeles.  There  had 
been  difficulty  in  securing  lumber  and 


PAGE   14 


Chapman  was  sent  to  the  mountains 
with  a  band  of  mission  Indians  to  get 
heavy  timbers  for  the  church  of  the 
Lady  of  the  Angels.  The  former  pirate 
gained  the  confidence  and  admiration 
of  the  Indians  because  of  his  ability  in 
felling  trees,  a  skill  learned  in  his  na- 
tive state  of  Maine.  Formerly  the  trees 
had  fallen  where  they  often  could  not 
be  reached,  but  Chapman  could  direct 
them  to  fall  on  level  ground.  Chapman 
could  get  the  Indians  to  work  faster 
and  they  were  contented  with  him  in 
spite  of  his  unintelligible  Spanish  and 
English. 

Along  with  his  work  m  the  moun- 
tains. Chapman  could  make  or  repair 
practically  anything  that  was  needed. 
He  mended  wheelbarrows,  made  hinges, 
hooks  and  gratings  for  windows  and 
fixed  axles  of  the  carts.  The  completed 
church  on  the  plaza  was  the  result  of 
the  imagination,  energy,  zeal  and  skill 
of  the  blonde  former  pirate. 

Although  Chapman  was  a  friend  of 
all  who  knew  him,  at  heart  he  was 
lonely.  The  next  assignment  had  more 
than  work  involved.  He  was  asked  by 
the  padres  to  go  to  Santa  Inez  because 
many  attempts  at  building  a  flour  mill 
had  failed.  The  mill  then  in  use  was 
built  in  such  a  way  that  jets  of  water 
flooded  the  flour  and  it  had  to  be  dried 
after   each   operation.    Chapman    built 

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


the  mill  using  wooden  gears,  never  seen 
or  heard  of  before.  The  mill  built  by 
Chapman  stands  today  en  the  state 
highway  between  Buellton  and  Santa 
Inez. 

Two  important  events  happened  to 
Chapman  during  this  time.  The  king  of 
Spain  granted  freedom  to  all  Anglo' 
American  prisoners  and  Chapman  was 
pardoned  by  Governor  Sola.  The  seC' 
(  nd  happening  took  place  after  months 
of  courtship  during  which  he  wooed  and 
won  the  beautiful  Guadelupe  Ortega. 
Following  the  wedding  in  the  mission 
Santa  Inez,  there  were  sumptuous 
feasts  lasting  many  days  and  numerous 
fandangos.  Riding  back  to  Los  Angeles 
with  his  bride  in  front  of  him  on  his 
horse.  Chapman  entered  the  city  a  seC' 
ond  time  a  prisoner,  but  this  time  a 
prisoner  of  love. 

Although  Chapman  became  a  trader 
and  farmer  with  4000  vines  in  his  vine 
yard,  he  was  a  friend  to  all.  He  made 
the  first  apple  pie  ever  tasted  in  these 
parts.  He  taught  the  people  to  make 
soap  and  how  to  lay  wooden  floors. 
He  came  to  be  known  as  the  one  who 
could  cure  many  ills.  He  set  broken 
bones,  pulled  teeth  and  sewed  up 
wounds.  He  was  conferred  the  title 
"Doctor"  by  the  people  who  came  to 
him  from  many  sections.  When  Gov 
ernor  Manuel  Victoria  was  severely 
wounded,  Chapman  served  as  cmer' 
gency  surgeon,  cleaning  and  dressing 
the  governor's  wounds,  the  most  severe 
being  a  stab  directly  under  his  eye. 
The  governor  quickly  recovered. 

In  1829,  Chapman  decided  to  go  in- 
to the  trading  field.  In  order  to  be  a 
successful  trader  he  would  need  a  boat, 
so  with  braces  forged  at  the  black' 
smith  shop,  crude  forms  of  cradles,  he 
went  to  the  mountains  to  select  the 
timbers  for  the  masts.  Sails  were  sewed 
of  coarse  material  using  rawhide  for 
ropes.  At  last  the  ship,  the  exact  size 
of  the  Mayflower,  was  ready  for 
launching.  It  was  dismantled  and  taken 
to  San  Pedro  by  oxcart.  There  the  ship, 
called  the  Guadelupe,  was  the  first  to 
be  built  in  California,  was  assembled. 
Just  as  the  ship  was  to  set  sail.  Chap' 
man  received  the  glorious  news  that  he 
had  been  voted  a  citizen  of  California. 
His  joy  was  complete  as  the  60'ton 
Guadelupe  slid  down  the  crude  way.s 
and  floated  gracefully  on  the  waters  of

We  rejoice  at  the  accomplishment 
and  happiness  that  came  to  Joseph 
Chapman,  whose  spirit  and  Iklpluhiess 


were   a   contribution    in    making   Cali- 
fornia the  great  state  that  it  is! 

Editor's  Note :  Blanche  Crabb  Oech'

John  had  been  sent  to  bed  by  his  moth- 
er for  using  profane  language.  When  his 
father  came  home  she  sent  him  upstairs  to 
punish  the  boy. 

"ril  teach  that  young  fellow  to  swear!" 
he  roared  and  started  up  the  stairs.  He 
tripped  on  the  top  step  and  even  his  wife 
held  her  ears  for  a  few  moments.  When 
the  air  had  cleared  somewhat  she  said, 
"You'd  better  come  down  now;  he's  had 
enough  for  his  first  lesson."

The  school  teacher  was  attempting  to  in' 
struct  her  students  in  the  various  values 
of  American  coins.  Taking  a  half  dollar 
out  of  her  purse  she  held  it  up  and  asked, 
"Can  any  of  you  children  tell  me  what  it 
is?" 

From  the  rear  of  the  room  came  the 
voice  of  a  small  boy:  "Tails."

Then  there  was  the  Texas  oilman  who 
was  so  wealthy  he  had  well-to-wcll  car- 
peting. 

A  barber  surveyed  the  slick  hair  of  the 
young  man  who  had  just  seated  him.self 
in  his  chair.  Then  he  asked:  "Do  you  want 
it  cut  or  should   I  just  change  the  oil?"

Tile  employee's  pay  envelope,  through 
error,  contained  a  blank  check.  Gloomily 
he  handed  it  to  his  wife  and  said,  "Just 
as  we  thought,  my  deductions  have  finally 
caught  up  with  my  salary." 

Angry  customer:  "These  eggs  aren't 
fresh." 

Indignant  grocer:  "Not  fresh?  Why,  the 
boys  brought  them  from  the  country  this 
morning." 

Customer:   "What  country?"

GOLDEN  GATE  BRIDGE 


PcA.'H^" 


Many  southern  Californians  will  re- 
member Father  St.  John  O'Sullivan  as 
the  restorer  of  the  mission  at  San  Juan 
Capistrano,  but  to  those  who  knew  him 
best  he  was  the  beloved  padre  who 
shepherded  a  faithful  little  flock  in  the 
mission  town.  He  was  a  saintly  man, 
beloved  by  Catholics  and  Protestants 
alike. 

I  clearly  remember  one  morning 
when  he  came  to  see  me  in  the  Orange 
County  District  Attorney's  office.  As 
we  shook  hands  I  observed  that  he  was 
greatly  disturbed. 

"Have  a  chair,  Father,'^  I  said. 
"What  can  I  do  for  you?" 

"I  am  in  deep  trouble,"  he  replied. 
"A  few  days  ago  a  little  baby  died. 
Her  oarents  were  poor,  as  most  of  our 
people  are.  I  arranged  to  have  a  grave 
dug  in  the  cemetery  and  there  the  little 
child  was  buried  after  the  funeral  serv- 
ices. Now  I  have  been  told  that  I  have 
broken  the  law  because  I  did  not  get 
a  burial  permit.  What  shall  I  do?" 

I  thought  for  a  moment  and  then 
said,  "Very  simple.  Father,  we'll  just 
get  a  permit  and  date  it  back." 

"Can  that  be  done?"  he  asked. 

"Certainly,"  I  replied,  although  1 
must  confess  that  I  had  never  heard 
of  anyone   doing  it. 

Much  relieved  the  good  padre  left. 
I  was  able  to  get  the  desired  permit 
because  no  one  else  could  think  of  a 
better  solution. 

I  had  not  thought  of  the  incident 
until  about  a  year  ago  when  my  son 
and  I  visited  San  Juan  Capistrano.  Wc 
went  into  a  restaurant  for  lunch.  Our 
waitress  belonged  to  one  of  the  old 
families  of  the  tov/n  and  I  asked  her 
about  some  of  my  local  friends.  In  a 
reminiscienl  iiio-id  I  recalled  the  story

A  Large  Toyon 


Wy  LTHOUGH  the  golden  poppy  has 
^^^  been  chosen  the  state  flower 
of  California,  there  is  another  plant 
which  enjoys  equal  popularity.  That 
plant  is  the  Toyon  or  California  Holly, 
with  its  panicles  of  creamy  white 
flowers  and  clusters  of  red  berries. 

Long  before  the  white  man  settled 
on  the  Pacific  coast,  California  Indians 
considered  the  Toyon  as  a  fruit  tree. 
They  gathered  its  berries,  which  they 
roasted  by  tossing  them  in  a  basket  of 
hot  pebbles,  and  then  ground  them  in' 
to  meal.  What  is  more,  some  toper 
among  their  ancestors  taught  them  how 
to  make  an  agreeable  cider  from  the 
berr)'  juice! 


The  first  scientist  to  examine  the 
Toyon  was  a  Bohemian  botanist,  Thad- 
deus  Haenke,  who  saw  the  plant  near 
Monterey  Bay  in  1791.  Haenke  was 
a  brilliant  man  who  had  received  his 
Ph.  D.  at  the  University  of  Prague 
at  the  age  of  21  years.  By  order  of 
his  emperor,  Joseph  II,  he  joined  a 
Spanish  scientific  expedition  under 
command  of  Alexandro  Malaspina. 
While  at  Acapulco  Malaspina  was  di' 
rected  to  sail  northward  in  search  of 
the  northwest  passage.  As  he  antici' 
pated,  his  mission  was  unsuccessful  and 
in  the  summer  of  1791  he  proceeded 
southward  along  the  coast  making  frc' 
quent  stops  to  enable  his  scientists  to 


explore  the  country.  On  September  13, 
1791,  he  anchored  at  Monterey  Bay 
and  near  here  Haenke  collected  speci' 
mens  of  the  Toyon. 

On  the  expedition's  return  to  Spain 
in  1795  Malaspina  made  a  frank  and 
critical  report  of  misrule  in  the  Spanish 
colonies.  For  his  temerity  he  was  im- 
prisoned eight  years  and  then  banished 
from  Spain.  The  carefully  prepared 
reports  of  his  scientists  were  never  pub' 
lished  by  the  government.  Haenke's 
collections  are  now  in  Madrid  and 
Prague. 

In  November,  1792,  George  Van- 
couver  entered  San  Francisco  Bay  with 
his  sloop,  Discovery.  Among  those  ac' 
companying  him  was  a  Scotch  surgeon, 
Archibald  Menzies,  who  soon  went 
ashore  on  a  botanizing  excursion.  In 
his  diary  he  recorded  that  he  found 
a  shrub  "plentifully  cropped  with  red 
berries."  Believing  that  he  had  found 
a  new  species  of  hawthorn,  he  took 
some  of  its  seeds  back  to  England  where 
he  planted  them.  From  these  sprouted 
the  plant  which  he  called  the  Calv 
fornia  Maybush,  "may"  being  the  Eng' 
lish  synonym  for  hawthorn. 

Menzies  was  mistaken  in  his  classi- 
fication of  the  Toyon.  No  doubt  one 
cause  of  his  error  may  be  attributed 
to  the  fact  that  the  plant  has  a  scent 
similar  to  that  of  the  hawthorn.  ActU' 
ally,  the  Toyon  is  a  member  of  the 
rose  family,  and  as  such  has  among  its 
California  relatives,  the  wild  rose.  Cat' 
alina  ironwood,  greasewood,  mountain- 
mahogany,  blackberry,  raspberry,  straw- 
berry, plum,  cherry,  desert  apricot  and 
desert  almond! 

Like  the  Giant  Sequoia  and  the  Tor- 
rey  Pine,  the  Toyon  is  a  "native  son," 
its  habitat  extending  northward  from 
Lower  California  to  Humboldt  County. 
It  grows  abundantly  throughout  the 
chapparal  belt  of  the  mountains  from 
a  4,000  foot  elevation  almost  down 
to  the  tide  lines  where  the  hills  skirt 
the  ocean.  In  its  natural  state  it  grows 
in  no  country  except  the  Californias. 

The  Toyon  is  a  hardy  plant  that 
ranges  in  size  from  a  small  shrub  to 
a  tree  thirty  feet  tall.  It  is  able  to  sur'

Arches   leading    into   the  grounds   of    the  Theosophical     Temple,     Point    Loma,     in 

1906. 


HE  CHIEF  INTEREST  in  Point 
Loma  during  my  childhood 
was  La  Playa,  the  outpost  of  San 
Diego.  Fort  Rosecrans  was  our  Mili' 
tary  Post,  and  it  was  from  there  I  saw 
the  smoke  arise,  then  heard  the  can' 
non  roar  over  the  ITATA  trying  to 
escape;  there  was  the  old  Spanish 
Lighthouse,  plus  the  tales  of  the  Mor- 
mons hunting  for  coal.  There  was  also 
the  magnificent  Temple  built  by  Kath' 
erine  Tingley  in  1897,  whose  corner- 
stone  is  claimed  to  have  been  brought 
from  Ireland,  all  dedicated  to  The 
Universal  Brotherhood  and  Theosophi- 
cal Society. 

Madame  Tingley  lived  in  San  Diego 
many  years  before  making  her  home 
at  the  Temple  on  Point  Loma,  as  she 
had  bought  the  old  Fisher  Opera 
House — re-naming  it  the  ISIS. 

Often  we  youngsters  ran  into  her 
whenever  we  crossed  the  bridge  that 
spanned  the  canyon  across  Grape  Street 
from  First  Street  to  Front.  It  is  filled 
in  now. 

PAGE  4 


Having  fun  as  children  do  on  their 
walks  home  after  school,  feeling  free 
happy-go-lucky,  we  stopped  at  the 
First  Street  end,  and  as  usual,  gathered 
stones  to  see  who  could  hit  a  rabbit 
or  squirrel,  as  they  roamed  around  in 
the  sagebrush  or  sumac  below  the 
bridge  in  the  canyon.  Rocks  were 
plentiful,  fun  galore  when  suddenly 
a  voice  called,  "You  cruel  and  shame- 
ful children.  Stop  that  stone- throwing 
at  once."  We  turned  to  see  who  the 
speaker  was,  shaking  in  our  shoes  for 
fear  it  might  be  the  parent  of  one  of 

the   group,   but    no a    stranger    in 

some  type  of  a  uniform  dress  of  tan- 
nish  purple,  was  standing  there  talk- 
ing a  mile  a  minute. 

Being  the  only  girl  there  with  my 
brothers  Cave  and  Jim,  and  Tod  For- 
ward, I  naturally  was  made  the  goat. 
She  caught  me  by  the  shoulder,  held 
me  thus,  as  the  boys  stood  by  shifting 
nervously  from  one  foot  to  the  other, 
and  said,  "Aren't  you  all  ashamed  of 
yourselves   to    hurt   those   small    crea- 


Arcadia  Bandini  Brennan 

tures  "   What    a   look  we   drew,    and 
pointedly  to  me  she  said,  "Do  you  not 
know    little    girl,    that    your    Grand- j 
mother's  soul  may  be  in  the  body  of; 
one   of   those  little   living  animals?"      i 

No  remorse  here,  and  with  one  wild 
laugh,  we  broke  away  to  run  home 
Laughing  and  giggling  all  the  way, 
because  we  all  knew  that  my  grand- 
mothers were  very,  very  much  alive. 

Here,  I  think,  started  my  interest  in 
Mythology — to  find  out  who  ISIS 
was,  and  then  re-incarnation.  Years 
past.  The  Temple  on  Point  Loma  was 
being  known  all  over  the  World,  and 
once  more  into  my  life  walks  Mad- 
ame Tingley. 

This  time  was  the  year  she  had 
brought  many  children  from  Cuba, 
promising  their  parents  that  their 
Catholic  religion  would  not  be  taken 
from  them,  oh  no,  definitely  not 
changed  into  the  Cult  of  Theosophical 
tenets  from  past  lore  and  mysticisms 
of  antiquity.  This  promise  was  not 
kept. 

Tia  and  I  were  spending  several 
days  at  Coronado  as  usual  one  year, 
when  a  man  in  a  Khaki  colored  uni- 
form delivered  a  note  to  Tia  in  person, 
as  we  sat  on  the  veranda,  and  asked 
for  a  reply  at  once.  Well,  I  read,  then 
translated  it  in  Spanish  for  Tia,  the 
note  handwritten  from  Madame  Ting- 
ley asking  us  out  on  a  certain  day  to 
see  the  Raja  Yoga  school  rooms  in  ses- 
sion, and  to  have  luncheon  with  her. 

In  those  days,  it  was  a  long  drive 
from  the  Hotel,  crossing  the  fcrr^', 
then  all  around  San  Diego  Bay,  out 
to  Point  Loma.  First,  Tia's  answer 
was  No,  but  I  started  pleading  to  go, 
so  the  invitation  was  accepted,  and 
we  drove  out  the  next  week.  What  a 
wonderful  experience,  especially  to 
me.  Tia's  great  wealth  opened  up  so 
many  places  that  the  average  person 
seldom  gets  to  sec,  such  as  this  one.

what  action  was  taken  by  the  parlors  on  this  matter. 

In  the  year  1891  I  find  the  first  reference  to  the  creation  of  a  death 
benefit  fund,  both  for  the  Grand  Parlor  and  for  the  subordinate  parlors. 
These  resolutions  were  rejected,  but  the  Committee  on  Legislation  pre 
sented  the  following  report,  which  was  adopted:  "While  deeming  the 
resolution  introduced  by  Sister  Mary  Dempsey,  of  Minerva  Parlor  No.  2, 
in  reference  to  the  creation  of  a  Death  Benefit  Fund,  of  great  value  to 
the  Order  at  some  further  time,  when  its  financial  condition  will  war- 
rant  it,  we  feel  obliged  to  report  adversely  upon  the  measure." 

However,  at  this  Grand  Parlor  a  motion  was  adopted  that  the  maga- 
zine  "The  Golden  West"  be  considered  as  our  official  organ.  Also,  the 
bear  was  adopted  as  emblematic  of  our  Order.  A  resolution  was  adopted 
that  "subordinate  parlors  subscribe  for  the  "Golden  West".  A  motion 
was  also  adoted  that  a  "World's  Fair  Committee"  be  appointed.  "After 
considerable  discussion"  this  amendment  was  laid  on  the  table. 

A  Funeral  Ceremony  submitted  by  Santa  Cruz  Parlor  was  exemp' 
lified  by  Sister  Mariana  Bertola,  of  Ramona  Parlor  No.  21,  and  was 
adopted. 

Perhaps  the  most  important  development  during  these  first  seven 
years  was  the  formation  of  the  Board  of  Relief.  "The  Board  was  incor- 
porated  on  September  23,  1889,  for  the  purpose  of  relieving  sick  or  dis- 
tressed members  of  the  Order  worthy  in  every  respect  of  such  material 
aid  as  may  be  within  our  power.  In  a  word,  "the  general  charities  of  our 
noble  Order  will  be  disbursed  by  this  Board".  This  Board  of  Relief  was 
composed  of  members  from  each  of  the  three  parlors  in  San  Francisco  in 
existence  at  that  time,  Alta  No.  3,  Minerva  No.  2,  and  Oro  Fino  No.  9. 
At  a  later  time,  a  more  complete  history  of  this  very  important  project 
will  be  offered. 

"A  souvenir  in  the  shape  of  an  invitation  to  the  first  Admission  Day 
Ball,  1850,  was  received  from  a  lady  who  thought  the  Native  Daughters 
would  be  interested  in  seeing  this  memento  of  early  days".  (Our  first 
official  interest  in  pioneer  relics?) 

"On  behalf  of  Edward  T.  Johnson,  Sister  M.  B.  Johnson  presented 
to  the  Grand  Parlor  a  handsome  gavel,  accompanied  by  the  following  ap- 
propriate remarks:  'Worthy  Grand  President,  not  far  from  this  assem- 
bly stands  a  building,  every  beam  and  rafter  of  which  is  rich  with  the 
history  of  our  native  land.  At  times  the  walls  resounded  with  the  mirth, 
the  trials  and  troubles  of  our  fathers.  A  Native  Son  of  Sacramento, 
thinking  we,  as  Native  Daughters,  might  appreciate  a  memento  from  this 
historic  building,  has  had  this  fashioned  from  one  of  the  rafters.  In  the 
name   of    Edward  T.   Johnson,   of  Sunset    Parlor    No.    26,    I   present   this

Bicycling  became  a  great  sport  in 
the  "Gay  Nineties."  In  fact  it  devel- 
oped into  a  craze.  In  1896,  Miss  Char- 
lotte Smith,  president  of  the  Woman's 
Rescue  League,  was  quoted  in  the 
papers  as  stating  that  bicycle  riding 
by  women  was  "leading  them  headlong 
to  the  devil." 


Ambrose  Bierce,  San  Francisco  news- 
paper columnist,  wrote  the  following 
poem  in  answer  to  Miss  Smith's  alarm- 
ing statement: 

"The  wheels  go  round  without  a  sound, 

The  maidens  hold  high  revel; 

In  sinful  mood,  insanely  gay 

True  spinsters  spinning  down  the  way. 

From   goodness  to  the  devil. 

They  laugh,  they  sing,  and  ting-a-ling, 

Their  bells  go  all  the  morning; 

And   lanterns  bright  bestar  the  night. 

The    'caterpillars'    warning!! 

With     lifted     hands     Miss     Charlotte 

stands 
Good-Lording  and  Oh-mying 
(Her   rheumatism   forgotten    quite. 
Her  fat  with  anger  frying). 
She  blocks  the  path  that  leads  to  wrath. 
Jack   Satan's  power   defying. 
The  wheels  go  round  without  a  sound, 
The  stars  are  red  and  blue  and  green. 
What's  this  that  lies  upon  the  ground? 
Miss  Charlotte   Smith's  a  smithereen"

The  holiday  season  means  many 
things  to  many  people.  It  means  greet' 
ings,  laughter,  love,  knowing  the  joy 
of  giving  and  receiving,  the  joy  of 
being  surrounded  by  family  and 
friends.  I  hope  that  you  will  continue 
to  be  as  generous  in  the  New  Year 
as  you  have  in  the  past  in  giving  aid 
to  our  many  worthwhile  projects.  I 
urge  you  to  remember  our  "Veterans," 
for  they  gave  so  much  that  we  might 
remain  a  free  people.  Let's  make  their 
Christmas  and   the  New  Year  just  a 


little  brighter  by  sending  gifts  or  giv' 
ing  monetary  contributions  to  our  Vet' 
erans  Fund,  that  this  committee  may 
continue  their  fine  work.  Many  chib 
dren  and  their  families  will  be  happier 
because  of  your  generosity  to  our 
Childrens  Foundation;  for  this  I  say 
"Thank  You." 

Soon  the  old  year  will  be  ended 
and  we  will  be  looking  forward  to 
the  New  Year  with  eagerness  in  what 
it  may  hold  for  us  as  individuals  and 
for  our  beloved  Order.  I  wish  for  all 
members  of  the  Native  Sons  and  Na- 
tive Daughters  of  the  Golden  West, 
a  happy  holiday  season.  May  the  New 
Year  bring  you  good  health,  happi- 
ness and  success  in  whatever  you  uh' 

dertake.

The  will  to  succeed  is  a  magnet  that 

attracts  success.

The  trouble  with  not  having  prejudices 
is,  people  think  you're  cowardly.  —  Frank-

THE  MEXICAN  EMPIRE  FLAG  —  APRIL  11,   1822 


^  ^caiet  S'  ^ito^K 


1958 


The  Mexicans  were  not  pleased  with  the  consideration  given  them  by 
Spaiii  who  was  expecting,  demanding  and  getting  almost  everything  that  this 
new  country  produced. 

In  1824  under  Mexican  rule  there  were  21,066  christian  Indians  at  the 
Missions.  This  was  a  record  year  for  the  Franciscan  Missions.  The  mistreat- 
ment of  the  Indians  by  the  soldiers  was  shameful.  A  priest,  Miguel  Hidalgo, 
led  a  revolt  that  lasted  eleven  years  with  Mexico  eventually  victorious.  Augus' 
tine  Iturbide  was  proclaimed  Emperor.  The  flag  was  raised  April  11,  1822. 

In  1821  was  the  last  exploration  date  for  mission  locations.  They  had  de- 
cided in  Mexico  that  the  missionaries  (padres)  should  not  remain  longer  than 
ten  years  at  any  one  mission,  then  move  on  to  new  conversions.  This  was  the 
starting  of  the  decay  of  the  missions.

PIONEER  DAY 

The  annual  Pioneer  Day  was  held 
by  Clear  La\e  No.  135  Middletown 
at  the  Memorial  Library.  President 
Marjorie  Johnson  welcomed  the  visi' 
tors.  Many  pioneer  families  of  the 
area  were  represented.  Edward  C. 
Runyan  spoke  briefly  on  the  1961 
Centennial.  Prices  were  awarded  to 
Mrs.  Emma  Wrieden,  88,  oldest  per' 
son  present;  Gertrude  Parker,  who 
had  lived  the  longest  time  in  Middle^ 
town;  Jeanne  Bouscal  for  the  most 
children  (9  sons)  and  Lula  Clark  who 
had  traveled  the  greatest  distance  to 
be  present. 

This   event  originally  honored   resi' 

dents  of  the  area  who  pioneered  the 

settlement  of  the  town  in  1862.  Now 

the  Parlor  honors  the  memory  of  these 

pioneers  and  also  the  present  day  older 

residents.

FLAG  PRESENTED 

George    C.   Tount    Parlor   No.    322 

presented    the    Yountville    Elementary 

School    with    a    fifty    star    American 

Flag.  It  was  the  occasion  of  the  first 

meeting  of   the  year   for   the  Yount' 

ville  School  Mother's  Club.  Plans  for 

the  colorful  and  impressive  ceremony, 

which  preceded  the  presentation  were 

made  by   Helen   Lande,   chairman   on 

Americanism  and   Civic  Participation, 

and  her  committee.  All  attending  arose 

while    Marie    Tonascia    and    Florence 

Buttimer  held  the  unfurled  flag.  Mar' 

ian    Spenser,   president  of   the   Parlor 

told   impressively    of   the   meaning    of 

the  American  Flag  and  what  it  stands 

for.    She  then   formally  presented  the 

new  flag  to  Miss  Wilda  Addis,  Prin' 

cipal  of  the  Yountville  School.

MORADA  ACTIVITIES 

Among  the  various  activities  of 
Morada  No.  199  this  year  have  been 
the  annual  pot  luck  held  in  the  patio' 
garden  of  President  Barbara  Shim- 
mon;  a  family  picnic  together  with 
Modesto  No.  11  NSGW  m  Caswell 
Park  and  a  successful  rummage  sale. 
Books  on  California  history  have  been 
placed  in  the  library  in  memory  of 
deceased  members.  Sales  from  the  var' 
ious  money  making  projects  have 
swelled  the  Parlor  funds.  Morada  Par- 
lor  joined  with  the  Native  Sons  in  a 
family  night  dinner  and  entertainment 
in  the  Burbank-Paradise  Clubhouse 
with  120  present.  The  tables  were 
festive  with  horns  of  plenty  from 
which  spilled  fall  fruits  on  to  autumn 
leaves.  A  Halloween  party  with  prizes 
for  the  weirdest  costumes  was  held. 
Rae  Kirk  was  program  chairman;  El- 
sie Parker,  refreshments. 

Morada  is  proud  of  its  25  year 
member,  Doris  Speight,  who  was  hon- 
ored at  a  luncheon  given  winners  in 
the  Governor's  Hall.  Mrs.  Speight  was 
sweepstakes  winner  in  the  jams  and 
preserves  division  at  the  California 
State  Fair. 

The  Parlor's  big  event  in  Novcm' 
ber  was  a  night  in  Italy  complete  with 
market  place.  The  affair  featured  a 
spaghetti  and  meatball  dinner  held  in 
the  Community  Service  Center.  De- 
cember 14  has  been  selected  for  the 
annual  Christmas  party.  Also  in  Dc 
cember  will  be  the  children's  party 
sponsored  jointly  with  Modesto  No.  1 1 
NSGW.

VIOLET  DEPUTIES 

The  San  FranciscO'  Deputy  meeting 
was  held  as  usual  with  Anita  Gillick 
"sitting  in"  for  SDDGP  Lucile  Ash- 
baugh,  who  is  recuperating  from  an 
operation.  Chairman  Georgia  Robin' 
son  reported  on  the  "One  Night  of 
Fun"  for  the  term,  the  Christmas 
Party  and  Dinner  to  be  held  in  late 
December.  Helen  Orchard  of  Presidio 
parlor  is  going  to  be  missed.  Sorry, 
Helen,  you  couldn't  carry  on  until 
the  end  of  the  term.  The  meeting 
closed  with  hopes  our  Mama  A2;alia 
will  soon  be  home  and  in  perfect 
health. 

SMALL  WORLD 

Recently  one  of  the  members  fron) 
Piedmont  No.  87,  Erna  Jenkins,  com- 
pleted  a  trip  to  Alaska  aboard  the  SS 
Prince  George.  There  were  250  pas- 
sengers on  board  from  all  over  the 
United  States.  During  the  voyage 
there  was  a  Captain's  dinner  and  mas' 
qucrade  for  all  250  passengers.  After 
a  most  enjoyable  dinner  the  hastily 
made  costumes  were  judged.  When 
the  winner  was  announced,  it  turned 
out  that  she  was  Mrs.  Frances  Ames, 
a  Native  Daughter  of  the  Golden 
West,  belonging  to  Lugonia  No.  241, 
San  Bernardino.  Mrs.  Ames  portrayed 
the  Statue  of  Liberty.

PAST  PRESIDENTS  ASSOCIATION 

With  Mildred  Markcl  and  Ann 
TurnbuU  in  charge,  the  Past  Presidents 
Association  No.  2  of  Oakland  ob' 
served  its  49th  anniversary  with  a 
dinner  at  the  Sea  Wolf  restaurant  at 
Jack  London  Square,  Oakland.  The 
banquet  table  was  decorated  with  tall 
pastel  shade  candles,  vases  of  fall  flow 
ers  and  at  each  place  were  nut  cups 
and  small  sprays  of  blue  daisies.  Dur' 
ing  the  evening,  the  organist  at  the 
cafe  played  "  Happy  Birthday."  A 
large  cake  decorated  with  an  appro- 
priate inscription,  surrounded  by  yeb 
low  poppies,  was  cut  by  State  vice 
president,  Esther  Ragon.  Rowena  Fer- 
nandes,  president  of  the  Association, 
was  also  a  special  guest.  Both  she  and 
Mrs.  Ragon  were  presented  with  gifts. 

Earlier  this  year,  members  of  the 
Association  and  their  friends  boarded 
a  chartered  bus  in  Oakland  for  a  trip 
to  Livermore  where  they  were  es- 
corted on  a  tour  of  the  Pacific  Gas 
and  Electric  Atomic  Power  plant.  It 
is  the  only  indivdually  owned  plant  of 
its  kind  in  the  world  and  holds  li- 
cense No.  1.  The  plant  was  dedicated 
on  November  25,  1954.  Russ  Peters 
and  James  Swartz  were  in  charge  of 
the  tour  and  Esther  Ragon  was  in 
charge  of  the  arrangements.

mother  association  in  San  Francisco. 
Many  state  and  past  state  officers 
were  in  attendance,  as  well  as  grand 
and  past  grand  NDGW  officers.  Six- 
ty-four guests  attended  the  formal 
dinner  at  the  Women's  City  Club  and 
ninety-two  were  at  the  meeting.  The 
tables    and    hall    were    profusely    dec- 


orated in  Mrs.  Trathen's  favorite

with  a  50  star  flag,  a  gift  from  Sara 
Ellen  Bennett  of  Golden  Gate  parlor,

presentation  of  a  white  Bible,  used 
when  she  was  installed  last  April  in 
Grass  Valley.  Her  remarks  with  the 
presentation  were  inspirational.  An 
escort  team  of  six,  under  the  leader' 
ship  of  Edna  Garaventa,  added  beauty 
to  the  occasion.  Irene  Bondanza  had 
charge  of  the  dining  tables  and  hall

The  name  Flymouth  is  one  popula 
in  all  the  states  of  the  Union.  The 
Plymouth  in  Amador  County  started 
as  a  mining  camp  of  the  gold  period 
near  the  junction  point  of  the  main 
and  south  forks  of  the  Cosumnes  Riv- 
er. It  was  a  center  of  quartz  min:ng 
in  the  region.  According  to  one  auth- 
ority, the  post  office  was  named  in 
the  'seventies  after  J.  J.  Ekels'  hotel

HUGHSON 

This  community  in  Stanislaus  Coun-

Hughson,  pioneer  rancher  and  owner 
of  the  land  on  which  Flack  and  Jacob- 
son  laid  out  the  town  in  1907.  Hugh- 
son  came  to  California  from  New 
York  via  Panama  in  1857  and  engaged 
in  mining.  In  1861  he  did  freighting 
between  Sacramento  and  Virginia 
City.  Finally,  he  settled  on  a  1,000 
acre  place  east  of  Modesto  and  in- 
creased his  land  holdings  until  his 
death  in  1901.

each  community  by  being  interested 
and  participating  in  every  phase  of 
community  life.  Since  the  inception  of 
the  Order  on  September  25,  1866,  one 
of  its  primal  objectives  has  been  the 
preservation  of  the  History  and  Land-

ourselves  but  for  posterity,  that  those

who  follow  might  know  the  history  of 
this  great  State. 

We  perpetuate  in  memory  the  glor- 
ious deeds  of  the  pioneer  men  and 
women  of  California.  These  pioneers, 
though  unconscious  of  the  fact  that 
God  had  given  them  a  mission,  went 
forth  into  the  wilderness  to  reclaim 
the  waste  places,  to  provide  fcr  the 
coming  civilization,  to  hew  cut  the 
paths  that  are  highways  over  which 
countless  thousands  are  travelling  in 
peace,  contentment  and  happiness.  So 
we  pay  respect  to  these  adventurous 
people  who  blazed  the  trails,  and  laid 
the  foundation  of  this  great  empire  of 
the  west,  our  California. 

We  are  proud  of  the  heritage  which 
is  ours  in  having  California  as  the 
land  of  our  birth.  We  stress  our  loy- 
alty to  our  flags  and  our  duty  to  citi- 
zenship and  evaluate  the  many  bless- 
ings given  to  us  by  our  constitution. 

We  have  assembled  here  to  dedi- 
cate the  Rivera  school  whose  history 
you  have  just  heard.  East  Los  Angeles 
Parlor  No.  266  NDGW  dedicates  this 
building  to  loyalty,  cooperation,  prog- 
ress and  to  the  ideals  of  American 
democracy. 

It  is  a  pleasure  to  be  here  today,  to 
have  a  part  in  this  ceremony,  and 
to  compliment  East  Los  Angeles  Par- 
lor for  their  foresight  in  marking  this 
old  school. 

The  acceptance  was  given  by  Wal- 
ter Knott,  owner  of  Knott's  Berry 
Farm. 

Past  Grand  Presidents  in  attendance 
were  Eileen  Dismuke,  Maxiene  Porter,

JR.  NDGW  ACTIUimS 

By  Constance  Warshaw 

State  Chairman 

The  Junior  Native  Daughters  not 
only  whole  heartedly  support  the 
projects  sponsored  by  the  NDGW  but 
are  also  interested  in  projects  of  their 
own.  Keen  enthusiasm  was  shown  in 
their  participation  in  the  Essay  and 
Scrapbook  contest.  At  the  recent  con' 
ference  in  Long  Beach,  the  Essay  Con' 
test  awards  were:  1st,  Judith  Ann 
Balsley,  Palomar  Unit  No.  24  and  2nd, 
Shirley  Landini,  Menlo  Unit  No.  10 
for  essays  on  "California's  Giant  Sc 
quoias".  On  the  subject  "■California's 
Great  Seal  of  State",  1st  prize.  Bar' 
bara  Songa,  Fruitvale  No.  22;  2nd, 
Louise  Wallace,  Sequoia  Unit  No.  27. 
For  scrapbooks,  Sequoia  Unit  No.  27 
won  1st  pri2;e;  Argonaut  No.  3,  2nd 
prize. 

To  receive  Statewide  publicity  it 
was  noted  at  the  1960  conference  that 
all  Units  would  join  together  in  mak' 
ing  a  quilt  to  be  displayed  at  the 
State  Fair  in  September.  Argonaut  No. 
3  will  spearhead  this  project. 

Jr.  PGP  Maxiene  Porter  has  of' 
fered  $25  prize  to  be  awarded  at  the 
1961  Conference,  San  Francisco  OctO' 
ber  7  and  8,  for  the  best  suggestion 
for  another  Statewide  project. 

I  would  like  to  request  the  atten' 
dance  of  members  of  the  Senior  Or' 
der  at  the  visits  in  your  immediate 
localities.  Not  alone  for  the  pleasure 
you  would  derive  from  observing  the 
Juniors  in  action,  but  also  to  encour' 
age  them  in  their  activities. 


His  name  was  Joaquin  de  Lucca,  but 
everybody  called  him  Nervi.  He  was 
the  leader  among  the  Italians  at  Italian 
Bar  where  he  operated  a  general  store. 
Nervi  was  a  successful  merchant  dc' 
spite  the  fact  that  he  was  unable  to 
read  or  write. 

His  bookkeeping  system  was  his  own 
invention  and  completely  unintelligible 
to  anybody  except  himself.  By  a  sys' 
tem  of  picture  writing  he  kept  an  ac 
curate  record  of  each  customer's  ac' 
count.  For  instance  there  was  George 
Streeter  who  lived  with  his  squaw  in 
a  cabin  beneath  a  pine  tree.  Nervi 
drew  a  rude  illustration  of  a  pine  at 
the  head  of  Streeter 's  account  which 
served    to   satisfactorily    identify    him. 

Merchandise  was  described  in  the 
same  picture  writing.  If  a  man  bought 
an  ax,  Nervi  simply  scrawled  his  con' 
ception  of  an  ax.  A  circle  indicated  a 
cheese,  while  a  circle  within  a  circle 
represented  a  gold'pan.  Very  simple — 
to  Nervi. 

However,  mistakes  can  happen  to 
anybody  and  Nervi  was  no  exception. 
One  day  two  of  his  good  customers, 
Horatio  Cross  and  Sylvanus  Pitts  came 
in  to  pay  their  bill.  Nervi  thumbed 
through  the  pages  of  his  ledger  until 
he  came  to  an  account  headed  by  a 
cross.  Among  the  items  listed  was  a 
cheese. 

Pitts  protested.  "We  didn't  get  no 
cheese.  We  don't  eat  cheese."

''But,"  remonstrated  Nervi,  "Looka, 
looka  in  da  booka.  See,  you  buy  da 
cheese,"  pointing  to  a  circle. 

"Makes  no  difference,"  replied  Pitts, 
"You've  made  a  mistake,  Nervi.  We're 
willing  to  pay  for  everything  we  got 
but  we  didn't  get  no  cheese.  We  don't 
like   cheese." 

Nervi  beckoned  imploringly  to  Cross, 
"You  looka  in  da  booka.  See,  you  buy 
da  cheese." 

Cross  looked  and  remembered. 

"Say,  Syl,"  he  exclaimed,  looking  at 
Pitts,  "We  didn't  buy  no  cheese,  but 
we  did  get  a  grindstone.  I'll  bet  that's 
what  that  circle  is  for  that  he  thinks 
is  a  cheese." 

"Sure,"  agreed  the  partner.  "That's 
what  we  got." 

"Santa  Maria,"  cried  Nervi,  "I  for'

vive  on  the  hot  slopes  of  the  foothills 
and  can  stand  extremes  in  temperature. 
However,  it  thrives  best  on  the  islands 
of  the  Santa  Barbara  Channel.  No 
doubt  its  luxuriant  growth  in  places 
like  Catalina  Island  is  due  to  richness 
of  soil  as  well  as  an  abundance  of 
moisture'laden  air. 

Origin  of  Name 

How  did  the  Toyon  receive  its 
name?  The  early  Spanish  settlers  of 
California  named  it  the  Tollon  Berry 
(Spanish  for  gorge  herry)  because  the 
plant  was  frequently  found  in  tollons 
(narrow  passages  or  gorges.)  The  bot- 
any of  the  United  States  Geological 
Survey  still  retains  the  name  of  Tollon. 
Apparently  the  present  spelling  came 
about  through  a  mistake.  The  Spanish- 
California  pronunciation  of  the  letters 
"11"  is  "y"  (as  in  La  JoUa.)  No  doubt 
some  person  hearing  the  word  pro- 
nounced, spelled  it  Toyon  according  to 
English  rules  of  orthography.  This  is 
further  borne  out  by  the  fact  that  the 
word  is  also  spelled  toyen. 

The  older  scientific  name  of  the 
plant  is  Photinia  arhutifolia.  Photinia 
is  from  the  Greek  photeinos,  meaning 
"shining"  and  refers  to  the  character 
of  the  foliage  of  the  plant.  Arhutifolia 
means  that  the  leaves,  folia,  are  like 
those  of  the  Arbutus  family. 

Another  scientific  name  of  the 
Toyon  is  Heteromeles  arhutifolia. 
Heterumeles  is  Greek,  meaning  "differ- 
ent apple"  and  alludes  to  tlie  fact  that 
the  berries  are  different  from  the  or-

dinary  apple  which  is  also  a  member  of 
the  rose  family. 

A  Bee  Plant 

Aside  from  the  fact  that  the  Toyon 
is  commercially  valuable  because  great 
quantities  of  its  berry  loaded  branches 
are  sold  to  the  Christmas  trade,  it  is 
economically  important  for  another 
reason.  The  spicy  fragrance  of  its  bios- 
stims  arc  particularly  attractive  to  the 
honey  bee.  Apiarists  consider  honey 
from  the  Toyon  of  a  specially  desirable 
quality. 

There  was  another  use  for  the  plant 
years  ago.  Fishermen  of  Catalina 
Island  used  its  bark  for  tanning  their 
sails  and  nets. 

Protection  of  the  Pl.'Xnt 

In  the  early  part  of  the  present 
century  lovers  of  nature  became 
alarmed  over  the  ruthless  destruction 
of  the  Toyon  and  other  native  plants. 
Luther  Burbank  wrote,  "Twentyfive 
years  ago  great  stretches  of  the  bay 
shore  were  lighted  up  for  months  with 
the  brilliant  scarlet  of  the  Toyon  or 
'Christmas  Berries'  and  now  the  hilb 
sides  of  Sonoma  County  are  being 
robbed  of  all  these.  Automobile,  trailer 
and  truck  loads  of  these  and  Christmas 
trees  and  other  wild  greenery  pass  on 
the  State  highway  at  this  season,  most' 
ly  for  commercial  purposes,  and  while 
dwellers  in  the  city  deserve  and  should 
have  a  taste  of  wild  nature,  yet  the 
wholesale  destruction  of  the  most 
shapely  and  graceful  trees  will  be  sad' 
ly  lamented,  not  only  in  the  ravaged 
countryside,  but  by  city  dwellers,  also. 
It  is  time  to  think  of  saving  some  of 
our  most  beautiful  trees,  shrubs  and 
flowering   plants  from  extermination." 

A  determined  campaign  was  inaug' 
urated  by  the  California  Wildflower 
Conservation  League  to  secure  the  en' 
actment  of  a  law  to  prevent  the  wanton 
destruction  of  native  flowers  and 
shrubs.  Support  came  from  many  di' 
rections.  The  Audubon  Association  of 
the  Pacific  was  particularly  helpful  as 
its  members  recognized  that  the  Toyon 
berry  was  an  important  food  item  of 
many  birds,  particularly  the  bandtailed 
pigeon,  western  robin  and  hermit 
thrush.  Newspapers  lent  a  helping 
hand. 

In  1921  the  State  Legislature  added 
a  provision  to  the  Penal  Code  giving 
the  Toyon  and  other  native  plants  pro' 
tection. 

The  Toyon  is  widely  known  as  Call' 
fornia  Holly,  although  it  is  not  a 
member  of  the  holly  family.  For  many

years  the  story  persisted  that  ihe  city 
of  Hollywood  derived  its  name  from 
the  Toyon  growing  on  the  nearby  hills. 
Most  historians  have  discredited  this 
theory,  but  actually  there  is  nothing 
to  prove  it  untrue. 

Because  the  Toyon  is  so  closely  aS' 
sociatcd    with    Christmastide    in    Cali- 
fornia these  words  by  Allan  Cunning' 
ham   seem   particularly   appropriate: 
"There  is  a  lesson  in  each  flower, 
A  story  for  each  stream  and  bower; 
In  every  herb  on  which  you  tread, 
Are  written  words,  which  rightly  read 
Will  lead  you  from  earth's  fragrant  sod, 
To  hope,  and  holiness,  and  God."

its  name  from  President  Abraham 
Lincoln,  but  from  the  middle  name  of 
Charles  Lincoln  Wilson,  projector  of 
the  California  Central  Railroad.  After 
the  town  was  laid  out  a  sale  of  lots 
at  auction  took  place  at  St.  George's 
Hotel. 

HERALD 
This  community  in  Sacramento 
County  bears  a  coined  name  honor- 
ing Herbert  Fleischacker  and  Alden 
Anderson,  builders  of  the  Central  Cal' 
ifomia  Traction  Railroad  between 
Stockton  and  Sacramento  in  1910.  The 
first  three  letters  of  each  man's  given 
name  were  combined  Her  and  Aid. 
thus  the  name  Herald.  The  commun- 
ity, founded  on  the  line  of  the  rail- 
road was  established  in  1911. 

ROSEMEAD 

L.  J.  Rose  was  owner  of  the  Sun- 
nyslope  Ranch  in  the  'seventies.  Rcde 
was  a  prominent  vintner,  fruit  grow- 
er and  horsebreeder  of  Southern  Cali- 
fornia. The  city  of  Rosemead  was 
named  in  his  honor.  The  community 
of  Lamanda  Par]{,  now  part  of  Pasa- 
dena, honored  both  Rose  and  his  wife. 
It  was  a  combination  of  the  first  let- 
ter of  Rose's  given  name  Leonard  and 
his  wife's  name  Amanda,    (Lamanda). 

TWENTY  NINE  PALMS 

In  the  active  mining  period  in  the 
'seventies  and  'eighties,  this  region  of 
San  Bernardino  County  was  named 
for  the  29  desert  fan  (Washingtonia 
filifera)  palms  which  are  said  to  have 
stood  there.  By  1906,  vandals  had  re- 
duced the  number  to  11  palms,  but 
now  the  growth  of  these  trees  has  in- 
creased far  beyond  their  original  num- 
ber due  to  planting  and  cultivation. 
The  Washington  Palm  is  native  to 
California. 

DIXON 

Dixon,  in  Solano  County,  was 
named  in  1870  for  Thomas  Dickson 
who  gave  10  acres  for  the  townsite. 
The  present  spelling  was  adopted  by 
the  Post  Office  Department  through 
an  error.  Legend  says  that  the  first 
shipment  of  freight  was  consigned  to 
Dixon.  The  spelling  error  was  never 
corrected. 

RANDSBURG 

Randshurg  in  Kern  County  as  well 
as  the  Rand  district  is  named  after 
the  noted  Witwatersrand  (or  Rand) 
gold  field  in   South  Africa.   In   1895, 

PAGE  U 


the  Rand  District  had  its  beginning 
with  the  discovery  of  gold  in  the  Yel- 
low Aster  Mine  which  made  history 
as  the  largest  gold  mine  in  California 
Randshurg  sprawls  at  the  base  of  Rand 
Mountain.  In  the  old  days  when  the 
Yellow  Aster  mine  operated  at  ca- 
pacity, a  crew  of  250  men  was  em- 
ployed. The  mine  is  estimated  to  have 
yielded  around  25  million  dollars  in 
ore.  This  rich  gold  area  was  discov- 
ered by  John  Singleton,  C.  A.  Bur- 
cham  and  E.  M.  Mooers.  The  com- 
munity was  organized  by  its  mining 
populace  December  20,  1895,  and  giv- 
en the  name  it  now  bears.  One  of  the 
interesting  present  day  features  or 
Randshurg  is  its  Desert  Museum  which 
preserves  a  complete  record  of  the  min- 
ing history  of  not  only  the  Yello- 
Aster,  but  the  entire  area.

(Continued  from  Page  4) 

Madame  Tingley  in  person,  met  u 
as  we  arrived — was  with  us  even 
place  we  went  through  that  beautifu 
Temple  and  grounds. 

We  entered  first  into  a  large  room 
All  side  panels  were  magnificentl; 
carved  in  has  re'lief — the  figures,  ani 
mal  or  human  were  life  si2;e,  standing 
in  re'lief  as  were  the  tree  trunks  anc 
leaves;  wonderful  sculptoring  made  ol 
a  golden  tone  of  tan  wood.  From  wal 
to  wall  was  a  carpet  in  many  shade; 
of  purple  beautifully  done  to  fit  the 
octagon  shape  of  the  room,  like  < 
lotus  flower,  from  dark  purple  througl 
all  shades  of  lavender  to  white. 

From  this  room  we  went  into  ; 
dining  room  where  we  had  a  delicioui 
plate  lunch,  but  no  meat.  After  lunch- 
eon, we  were  taken  to  a  class  room 
where  pandemonium  broke  loose,  a: 
I,  as  usual,  started  translating  intc 
Spanish,  everything  said.  In  fact  hac 
done  so  on  the  whole  visit — saying 
that  Mrs.  de  Baker  did  not  under 
stand  too  much  English. 

In  this  room  were  the  Cuban  chil 
dren,  and  our  visit  was  the  first  time 
they  had  heard  their  native  tongue 
spoken  since  leaving  home  many  month,- 
before.  It  was  pitiful  as  they  asked  foi 
news  from  their  Mothers  or  family. 
Some  cried,  when  I  told  them  we  were 
not  from  their  homeland,  but  Ameri- 
canos. As  fast  as  they  could  talk,  and 
in  Spanish  one  can  talk  fast,  we  were 
told  what  had  happened,  of  promise? 
made  never  meant  to  be  kept.  Their 
upturned  faces  so  interested,  as  they 
broke  all  class  rules,  and  gatherec 
round  us  were  beautiful  with  anxiety 
and  love,  and  I  was  the  one  who  had 
to  dim  with  tears,  their  happiness,  by 
telling  them  we  came  not  from  Cuba. 

It  hurt  me  deeply — just  as  much 
today,  some  fifty  years  later,  as  then, 
and  Tia  only  said,  "Siempre  es  asi." 
(It  is  always  that  way.)  In  broken 
English  she  said  she  was  tired,  so  we 
would   be   leaving. 

As  we  walked  out  of  this  beautiful 
Temple,  Madame  Tingley  said  she 
was  sorry  not  to  have  us  see  their  big 
Amphitheatre,  and  extended  an  invi- 
tation to  Tia  for  us  to  come  over  early 
enough  some  morning  to  attend  their 
services. 

Tia  accepted,  understanding  my 
squeezing  on  her  hand.  So,  when  our 
stay  at  Ctironado  was  up,   we  crossed' 

CALIFORNIA  HERALDI 


(the  Bay  to  San  Diego,  staying  one 
!night  at  the  Brewster  Hotel  on  Fourth 
and  C,  as  Tia  would  not  be  getting 
up  before  dawn  to  go  over.  I  did, 
taking  the  maid  with  me  most  likely 
it  irritated  the  hack  driver  too,  such 
early  business,  but  me — I  was  most 
interested  and  delighted  to  be  invited 
by  Mrs.  Tingley  in  person. 

These  services  were  weird,  solemn 
and  beautiful.  They  were  held  in  the 
Amphitheatre  built  in  a  natural  set' 
ting  on  the  West  side  of  Point  Loma, 
naturally  on  ground  owned  by  the 
Theosophists. 

The  large  cove  started  on  the  shore 
where  the  Pacific  swells  broke,  washed 
back  and  returned  to  break  with  a 
splash  with  soft  yet  moaning  sounds. 
The  cove  ran  east  to  the  high  ridge 
forming  Point  Loma.  Here,  a  sort  of 
stage  was  fixed  and  it  was  awe  in' 
spiring  to  see  so  many  people  in  their 
ritual  robes  standing  waiting  for  the 
rising  sun  to  appear  over  the  moun' 
;ain  as  it  were  dawn  itself  coming  in 
itreams  of  gold  into  the  blue  heaven, 
^s  the  golden  splendor  appeared,  all 
;tood  with  raised  arms,  hands  opened 
md  bowing  in  perfect  rhythm  to  the 
,'oices  coming  from  the  stage. 

What  they  said  and  sang,  I  could 
lot  understand — it  was  a  language 
lot  from  English  or  Spanish  to  my 
;ars.  All  so  interesting  and  breathtak' 
ng.  We  did  not  see  the  closing  serv 
ces,  as  a  man  escorted  us  out  and  to 
he  carriage  waiting  for  us,  so  the 
3ng  ride  back  to  town.  We  arrived  at 
he  hotel  about  nine  o'clock  and  be' 
ore  Tia  had  awakened.  In  fact,  sleep' 
rig  as  well  as  she  always  did,  our  gO' 
ng  out  quietly  and  returning  thus  had 
ot  disturbed  her. 

After  much  friction  at  the  Temple, 
/ladame  Tingley  left.  Where  she  went, 

do  not  know,  but  in  a  few  years, 
le  buildings  from  not  being  used  be- 
an  to  deteriorate.  Vandals  threw 
tones,  breaking  not  only  the  win' 
ows,  but  the  wonderful  glass  dome — 

lotus  lavender  in  color. 

Neglected,  as  it  had  been  for  years, 
le  property  was  bought  a  few  years 
go  by  the  members  of  the  Methodist 
!hurch,  who  have  built  a  large  school 
\crc,  called,  I  believe.  The  California 
V^estcrn  University.  A  wonderful 
te  for  it,  and  easily  reached  by  auto- 
lobile  or  bus.

Juan  Rodriguez  Cabrillo,  a  Portu-

ent San  Diego  Bay,  naming  it  "San 
Miguel."  When  he  discovered  the 
Bay  on  September  28,  1542,  he  was 
in  the  service  of  Spain  and  com- 
manded two  vessels,  the  ?,an  Salva-

AT 
THE 
BAR 


As  a  deputy  district  attorney  I 
was  assigned  to  attend  an  inquest  at 
the  Seale  Mortuary  at  Fullerton  with 
respect  to  a  lady  who  had  been  killed 
in  an  automobile  collision  on  the  Bas- 
tanchury  Grade  in  the  north  part  of 
the  county. 

The  hearing  commenced  in  the  late 
morning.  Witnesses  testified  that  a 
young  man  had  driven  his  car  across 
the  center  line  and  had  collided  head- 
on  with  the  automobile  in  which  the 
deceased  lady  had  been  riding.  The 
driver  declined  to  testify  and  much  to 
my  amazement  the  only  evidence 
offered  as  to  cause  of  death  was  the 
statement  of  the  undertaker  "Josh" 
Seale  that  the  lady  had  died  of  a  basal 
skull  fracture.  For  some  unknown 
reason  the  investigating  officers  had 
not  arranged  for  an  autopsy. 

While  the  coroner's  jury  was  delib- 
erating the  young  man,  who  had 
caused  the  death,  escaped  from  the 
mortuary.  There  was  much  scurry- 
ing around  and  I  found  myself  giving 
orders  on  how  to  find  the  escapee.  In 
the  meantime  I  called  Dr.  Edward 
Lee  Russell,  resident  physician  of  the 
Orange  County  Hospital,  (now  head 
of  the  Health  Department)  and  asked 
him  to  come  over  and  make  an  au- 
topsy. 

I  returned  to  my  office  in  Santa 
Ana  and  received  a  call  from  Russell 
stating  that  before  he  arrived  at  Full- 
erton that  the  body  of  the  deceased 
had  been  taken  to  the  White-Emerson 
Mortuary  at  Whittier.  I  directed  him 
to  immediately  go  to  Whittier  and 
perform  the  postmortem.  I  said,  "If 
you  can  determine  that  the  lady  died 
of  a  basal  skull  fracture  by  a  gross 
examination,  do  so.  If  you  can't,  first

SMALL     TRIANGULAR     VALLEY 

hemmed  in  by  steep,  rugged 
mountain  slopes  covered  with  chap- 
arral, enfolds  the  charming  little 
village  of  Copperopolis.  Situated 
between  the  slopes  of  the  Bear 
Mountain  Range  on  the  east  and  the 
broken  Gopher  Hills  on  the  west,  it 
dreams  of  the  days  in  the  past  when 
it  was  one  of  the  greatest  copper 
mining  camps  of  all  time,  for,  in 
the  sixties,  it  held  the  distinction  of 
being  the  principal  copper  producing 
community  in  the  United  States. 

It  is  located  in  the  southeastern 
corner  of  Calavaras  County,  thirty- 
five  miles  east  of  Stockton  on  High- 
way 4,  twelve  miles  west  of  Angels 
Camp,  and  seven  miles  north  of  the 
canyon  of  the  Stanislaus  where  that 
river  cuts  through  Table  Mountain. 

According  to  the  report  of  the 
Assessor  of  the  county  of  Calaveras 
for  the  year  1861,  published  in  the 
Calaveras  Chronicle,  Hiram  Hughes 
was  the  original  discoverer  of  cop- 
per in  Calaveras  County.  In  Novem- 
ber, 1860,  he  struck  ore  at  Hog  Hill, 
six   miles   southeast   of   the   present 


site  of  Copperopolis,  where  he  lo- 
cated  the  Napoleon   Mine. 

The  same  year  William  K.  Reed 
and  Thomas  McCarty  discovered 
and  located  the  Union  Copper  Claim. 
The  ore  proved  very  rich  and  the 
growth  of  the  town  stemmed  from 
discovery  of  this  mine.  By  1864, 
twenty-two  mining  companies  had 
filed  articles  of  incorporation  in  the 
ofifice  of  the  county  clerk  of  Cala- 
veras County  most  of  which  were 
organized  to  mine  in  the  Copperopo- 
lis district.  Mines  listed  in  an  early 
edition  of  the  "Copperopolis  Cour- 
ier" as  being  located  in  Copperopolis 
were  the  Union,  Empire,  Keystone, 
Table  Mountain,  Mountain  Top, 
Scorpion,  Kentucky,  Index,  Inimi- 
table   and   Harlem. 

As  early  as  1861  several  general 
merchandise  stores  were  doing  busi- 
ness there  in  addition  to  a  large  as- 
sortment of  billiard  and  drinking 
saloons,  barber  shops,  restaurants, 
meat  markets,  apothecaries,  stables 
and  a  first  class  hotel  where  from 
one  to  two  hundred  took  seats  at  a 
table  groaning  with  the  good  cheer 
of  the  mountain. 


JANUARY.  1961 


Late  in  1863,  Reed  and  McCarty 
sold  their  interests  in  the  Union 
Copper  Mine  and  with  the  money 
Reed  received  from  the  sale,  he  de- 
veloped the  so-called  "Reed  Turn- 
pike", a  toll  road  running  southwest- 
erly of  Copperopolis  and  uniting 
with  a  road  leading  into  Stockton. 
This  Turnpike  was  considered  an  im- 
portant feature  in  the  development 
of  Copperopolis. 

For  a  time  Copperopolis  exhibited 
great  prosperity.  By  1864  the  price 
of  town  lots  had  risen  from  ten  dol- 
lars to  as  high  as  three  hundred  dol- 
lars for  choice  locations.  The  town 
extended  for  a  mile  and  a  half  along 
its  great  thoroughfare  and  construc- 
tion of  new  homes  was  commenced 
every  day. 

By  1865  the  mines  had  turned  out 
a  mUlioii  and  a  half  dollars  worth  of 
copper.  The  Napoleon  was  fabulous- 
ly rich  during  the  years  1861-1865, 
from  its  shafts  many  thousands  of 
tons  of  rich  ore  were  prepared  for 
shipment  to  European  markets. 

The  Union  Mine,  apotheosis  of  a 
miner's  dream,  was  producing  ore 
so  rich  that  stockholders  wer  selling 
shares  by  the  foot. 

It  was  during  the  Civil  War  that 
the  town  assumed  its  greatest  impor- 
tance for  it  was  during  this  period 
that  the  mines  running  full  tilt,  fur- 
nished most  of  the  copper  used  in 
the  struggle.  The  Civil  War  Armory 
Hall  was  built  there  in  1861  by  pub-

^ppANY  YEARS  BEFORE  Palomar 
^^^^^  Mountain,  in  San  Diego 
County,  California,  was  selected  as 
the  site  of  the  world's  largest  tele- 
scope, the  mountain  was  known  as 
the  home  of  the  band-tailed  pigeons. 
"Paauw,"  the  Indian  name  for  Palo- 
mar, was  a  favorite  hunting  and 
camping  ground  for  many  bands  of 
Indians  but  their  superstitions  would 
not  allow  them  to  harm  these  birds. 
The  early  settlers,  who  were  often 
Spanish  speaking  people,  named  this 
now  historic  mountain  Palomar, 
which  means  pigeon  roost  or  dove 
cot.  Thus,  Palomar  was  the  original 
Spanish  name  for  the  mountain  and 
occurred  on  early  maps. 

The  late  Bill  Colville  of  Oceanside, 
used  to  spend  his  summers  on  Palo- 
mar in  his  picturesque  little  cabin 
beneath  the  dogwood  trees,  a  quarter 
of  a  mile  from  what  used  to  be  Bail- 
ey's Palomar  Mountain  Resort.  Mr. 
Colville  had  known  the  mountain 
since  1922  and  told  many  people 
that  he  often  had  seen  thousands  of 
pigeons  at  one  time,  Hke  a  dark 
cloud,  hovering  over  the  old  barn, 
which,  incidentally,  was  built  more 
than  sixty  years  ago  by  Ole  and 
Clinton  Bailey.  The  original  beams 
were  hand-hewn  from  trees  on  the 
mountain  and  it  has  been  repaired 
through  the  years  by  the  Bailey  fam- 
ily, some  of  whom  still  reside  on 
Palomar. 

Mr.  Colville  at  one  tune  downed 
eight  birds  with  one  shot  and  many 


times  has  enjoyed  pigeon  pie  baked 
in  the  oven  of  his  wood  stove.  While 
cleaning  them  he  has  found  as  many 
as  six  or  eight  acorns  in  one  bird's 
craw.  The  acorns  were  swallowed 
shell  and  all.  The  pigeons  were  too 
tough  to  fry  so  he  soaked  them  in 
vinegar  and  soda  for  several  hours 
before  baking  them.

PAGE  4 


Until  the  turn  of  the  century  Pal- 
omar was  known  as  "Smith  Mount- 
ain" due  to  the  fact  that  a  man  by 
the  name  of  Smith  settled  there,  es- 
tablishing a  ranch.  He  raised  cattle, 
hogs  and  sheep.  On  December  1, 
1901,  in  response  to  a  petition  from 
local  citizens,  the  name  Palomar  was 
officially  adopted  by  the  Division  of 
Geographic  names  in  Washington, 
D.  C. 

With  the  coming  of  the  early  Cali- 
fornians  the  band-tailed  pigeons 
were  killed  in  such  great  numbers 
that  at  one  time  it  was  thought  that 
they  would  become  extinct  but,  in 
1915,  legislators  passed  a  bill  to  pro- 
tect them.  There  is  now  a  limit  of 
eight  birds  during  the  hunting  season 
which  is  set  by  the  Federal  Govern- 
ment. The  season  begins  on  Decem- 
ber 17  and  lasts  through  January  15, 
1961. 

The  Band-Tailed  pigeon  has  a 
tail  which  is  broad  and  rounded  with 
a  band  of  gray  across  the  end,  bor- 
dered above  with  black.  The  birds 
are  fairly  large  and  heavily  built, 
usually  about  15 Vi  inches  long. 
Their  call  somewhat  resembles  the 
hoot  of  an  owl,  oo-whoo  or  who-oo- 
whoo.  They  dine  chiefly  on  acorns 
but  will  occasionally  eat  berries  or 
grain.  Their  nests  are  usually  built 
in  isolated  spots  and  as  a  rule  they 
lay  only  one  egg,  making  reproduc- 
tion a  slower  process  than  with  most 
birds. 

The  upper  back  of  the  male  is 
brownish  with  bluish  underparts  and 
a  white  crescent  on  the  back  of  the 
neck.  The  female  is  duller  and  grayer 
than  the  male  bird,  often  lacking  the 
neck  patch.  Band-tailed  pigeons 
range  from  southern  British  Colum- 
bia and  Montana  to  western  Texas, 
wintering  in  the  southwestern  states 
and  Mexico.  They  live  in  higher  alti- 
tudes except  when  they  are  forced, 
by  heavy  snows,  to  go  to  the  foot- 
hills for  their  food. 

Since  Palomar  is  named  for  the 
Band-tailed  pigeon,  many  old-timers 
refrain  from  hunting  the  birds  be- 
cause they  are  just  beginning  to  re- 
turn in  numbers  although  there  are 
still  only  a  few  compared  to  early 
days.

^1  OMETHING   SPECIAL   MUST  have 

^^  happened,  and  it  was  two 
wonderful  things  for  my  brother 
Cave  and  me,  because  we  were  al- 
lowed to  sit  out  on  the  low  boxed 
fence  of  the  front  yard  that  separ- 
ated the  garden  and  lawn  from  the 
sidewalk,  no  cement  —  just  dirt  in 
those  days,  and  First  Street  was  being 
cut  through.  Not  Ivy  as  yet. 

Luisa  was  standing  back  of  us.  We 
were  small  tots  —  Cave,  maybe  six, 
I  three  or  maybe  we  were  seven  and 
four.  We  were  all  eyes  —  all  inter- 
ested wonder,  and  watched  as 
several  men,  maybe  six  or  seven  in 
striped  suits  with  small,  round  striped 
caps  were  working  on  the  place 
where  a  street  was  to  be,  with  pick 
and  shovel,  and  all  had  heavy  iron 
bands  around  their  ankles,  and  chains 
that  went  from  one  man's  foot  to 
another  one's  foot,  about  four  feet 
long. 

First  of  all,  they  used  picks,  turn- 
ing up  big  chunks  of  dirt.  When  they 
finished  this,  the  line  of  men  would 
move  forward  —  one  standing  still 
at  the  end.  He  had  the  same  iron 
bands  on  his  ankles  as  the  others, 

JANUARY,  1961 


but  on  one  of  his  chains  was  an  iron 
ball  that  lay  on  the  ground  while  he 
worked. 

The  next  time  they  all  moved,  he 
had  the  longest  walk,  as  he  carried 
the  ball  and  stood  way  at  the  top 
end  once  more. 

This  work  went  on  for  many  days 
and  weeks.  It  was  the  first  time  I 
ever  saw  a  chain  gang.  The  chains 
were  large  and  naturally  heavy.  The 
ball,  the  size  of  a  round  football  was 
not  a  pleasant  sight  to  see  at  any 
time,  and  it  has  remained  with  me  all 
these  years. 

We  were  not  allowed  out  of  the 
play  yard  again,  so,  only  when  in 
the  house,  and  at  a  window,  did  I 
see  how  the  street  was  getting 
along  —  now,  being  pounded  down 
to  flatten  and  even  it,  the  men  using 
an  odd  long  handle  with  a  heavy  flat 
piece  on  the  bottom. 

After  a  time,  why  even  the  canyon 
two  blocks  below  us  was  partly  filled 
up,  and  Grape  Street  ran  across 
First  Street.  A  bridge  filled  in  from 
First  to  Front. 

In  later  years  when  I  was  going  to 
the  Middletown  school,  a  crowd  of 


Arcadia  Bandini  Brennan 


us  coming  home  after  school,  at 
times,  went  a  new  way  just  to  cross 
the  bridge.  It  was  eerie  walking  in 
the  air.  When  we  got  bolder,  we 
would  hurry  over  it  to  have  time  to 
stop  and  throw  rocks  down  the 
canyon  at  squirrels  or  rabbits,  a  thing 
we  were  very  intent  on  one  day, 
when  a  lady  in  purplish  dress, 
stopped  her  buggy,  and  came  over 
to  where  four  of  us  were.  As  I  was 
the  only  girl  with  my  brother  and 
two  other  boys,  I  was  picked  for  the 
lecture  and  this  was  it. 

Madame  Tingley:  "Shame,  shame, 
on  you  children.  Throwing  rocks  on 
those  little  wild  animals.  Do  you 
not  realize  little  girl,  the  spirit  of 
your  Grandma  might  be  in  one  of 
those  little  bodies?"  Well,  with  this 
remark,  we  all  laughed  a  shaky 
sound,  because  all  four  of  us  knew 
my  grandmothers  were  very  much 
alive. 

This  was  our  introduction  to 
transmigration  of  the  Soul,  and 
Madame  Tingley,  who  had  built  the 
beautiful    Theosophical    Temple    on 

Point  Loma.

Native  Sons  and  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West  gave  me  the  privilege 
of  riding  on  their  float  again  this 
year.  My  cub  pals  and  forest  friends 
joined  me  in  singing  to  the  folks 
along  the  way  to  thank  them  for 
their  help  in  preserving  our  Calif- 
ornia forests  during  the  year  just 
passed  and  for  heir  generous  con- 
tributions which  made  our  return  to 
the  Tournament  of  Roses  Parade 
possible." 

This  is  the  song  we  sang: 
With  a  Ranger's  hat  and  shovel  and 
a  pair  of  dungarees

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


You  will  find  him  in  the  forest  al- 
ways sniffiin'  at  the  breeze. 

People  stop  and  pay  attention  when 
he  tells  them  to  beware, 

'Cause  ev'ry  body  knows  that  he's 
the  Fire  Preventin'  Bear. 

CHORUS 

Smokey  -  the  Bear,  Smokey  -  the 

Bear. 
Prowlin'    and   a   growlin'    and    a 

sniffin'   the   air. 
He  can  find  a  fire  before  it  starts 

to  flame. 
That's  why  they  call  him  Smokey, 

that  was  how  he  got  his  name. 

You  can  take  a  tip  from  Smokey 
that  there's  nothing  like  a  tree, 

'Cause  they're  good  for  kids  to  climb 
in  and  they're  beautiful  to  see, 

You  just  have  to  look  around  you 
and  you'll  find  its  not  a  joke, 


To  see  what  you'd  be  missin'  if  they 
all  went  up  in  smoke. 

You  can  camp  upon  his  doorstep  and 
and  he'll  make  you  feel  at  home, 

You  can  run  and  hunt  and  ramble 
any  where  you  care  to  roam. 

He  will  let  you  take  his  honey  and 
pretend  he's  not  so  smart, 


But  don't  you  harm  his  trees  for  he's 
a  Ranger  in  his  heart. 

If  you've  ever  seen  the  forest  when 

a  fire  is  running  wild, 
And  you  love  the  things  within  it  like 

a  mother  loves  her  child,

'  Midnight  strikes  -  -  we  hear  the 
sound  of  whistles,  horns,  trains, 
church  bells  pealing  in  the  night.  At 
first  we  feel  a  touch  of  sadness  as  we 
remember  the  friends  and  loved  ones 
who  have  left  us  in  the  year  that  has 
passed.  We  thmk  of  all  the  things  we 
might  have  done  and  did  not  do. 
Then,  as  the  church  bells  take  on 
a  happier  note,  we  echo  the  wish  that 
Tennyson  expressed  so  weU  in  his 
poem,  "In  Memoriam": 

"Ring  out  the  old,  ring  in  the  new, 
Ring,    happy    bells,    across    the 

snow: 
The  year  is  going,  let  him  go; 
Ring  out  the  false,  ring  in  the 

true." 

A  very  Happy  New  Year  to  each 
member  of  the  Native  Daughters  of 
the  Golden  West.  May  the  year  1961 
bring  to  you  health,  happiness,  suc- 
cess, and  may  you  continue  to  enjoy 
your  membership  in  the  Order  of  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West. 


Mother:  "When  those  bad  httle  boys 
threw  rocks  at  you,  why  didn't  you  come 
and  get  me?" 

Junior:  "Gee,  Mom,  you  couldn't  hit

presidents  of  the  Parlors  assembled,

Grand  President  with  a  Christmas 
stocking  filled  with  the  monetary  gift 
from  the  Parlors.  Mrs.  Williams  re- 
sponded and  gave  a  very  interesting 
talk  on  the  various  projects  of  the 
Order.  Of  special  interest  was  the 
report  on  the  restoration  of  Mission 
Soledad  where  excavation  work  has 
uncovered  foundations  of  the  original 
structure. 

A  social  hour  was  held  in  the  ban- 
quet room  where  refreshments  were 
served  from  tables  covered  with 
Christmas  table  cloths  and  centered 
with  bowls  of  red  berries  and  ever- 
greens. 


Cnlldreni  foundation 

by  Helen  E.  Drew 
State  Chairman 

Children  —  this  word  means 
something  different  to  each  one  of 
us  —  our  own  little  ones,  grandchil- 
dren, the  little  fellows  from  next  door 
who  stop  by  to  sample  our  cookies, 
but  a  special  place  in  our  hearts  is 
reserved  for  children  who  are  in 
need. 

No  service  organization  could  qual- 
ify its  existance  if  it  did  not  include  in 
its    program    assistance    to   children 


and  certainly  any  member  of  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West  can  speak  with  pride  and  a 
sense  of  satisfaction  about  our  Chil- 
drens  Foundation. 

Never  a  day  passes  that  our  Order 
does  not  make  that  day  happier  and 
more  comfortable  for  these  little  cher- 
ubs who  turn  to  us.  Braces  to  make 
their  steps  easier,  medicine  to  ease 
their  pain,  glasses  to  better  see  a 
world  so  enchanting  to  a  child,  but 
perhaps  most  important  of  all  is 
plastic  surgery.  What  can  be  more 
difficult  for  a  child  to  understand  or 
accept  than  the  unthinking  taunts  of 
another  child  because  he  looks 
"different"  and  what  a  wonderful 
day  for  him  when  he  looks  just  like 
all  of  his  little  playmates. 

The  Childrens  Foundation  Com- 
mittee which  meets  each  month  to 
receive  applications  for  assistance  is 
deeply  grateful  for  your  interest  in 
the  Childrens  Foundation  program. 
It  is  only  through  the  generous  sup- 
port of  each  member  that  considera- 
tion can  be  given  to  all  applications. 

As  we  enter  the  New  Year  of  1961, 
we  look  forward  to  another  year  of 
sharing,  for  no  person  can  live 
alone  and  nothing  is  truly  valuable 
unless  it  can  be  shared.  God  bless 
you  and  keep  you  for  there  will  be 
many  little  ones  who  will  need  to 
share  your  love  during  the  coming 
year.

Tamelpa  No.  231  of  Mill  Valley

SAN  FRANCISCO  DEPUTIES 

When  SDDGP  LucUle  Ashbaugh 
and  the  24  San  Francisco  Deputies 
met  many  topics  were  discussed, 
among  which  were  the  altar  cloths 
and  the  flags  appliqued  on  each  end 
and  the  fines  for  parlors  not  sending 
delegates  to  the  Grand  Parlor.  A 
recommendation  was  sent  to  our 
Grand  President  by  the  group. 

Our  one  "Night  of  Fun  for  the 
Term",  the  Christmas  party  and  ex- 
change of  gifts  to  our  secret  pals 
was  held  on  December  22  at  Castle 
Lanes.  Josephine  Sullivan  was  wel- 
comed to  the  Deputies  at  this  meet- 
ing. Georgia  Robison  of  Utopia  No. 
252  acted  as  chairman. 

The  Deputies  of  1959-1960  and 
past  supervisor  Ann  Shaw  enjoyed 
a  diimer  on  December  29  at  Castle 
Lanes.  Gifts  were  exchanged  at  the 
close  of  the  happy  evening.  AU  past 
and  present  deputies  of  San  Francis-

all. 
PRESIDIO  PARLOR  DOINGS 

Presidio  Parlor  held  their  annual 
Christmas  party  and  anniversary 
celebration  on  December  15.  After 
exchanging  gifts  at  the  home  of 
President  Shirley  Beck,  everyone 
went  on  to  the  Ranch  House  for  din- 
ner. It  was  an  evening  which  will 
long  be   remembered.

JAMES  LICK  PARLOR  ACTIVITIES 

James  Lick  Parlor  was  well  rep- 
resented at  the  Christmas  breakfast. 
The  usual  parlor  and  four  personal 
donations  were  made  by  the  parlor 
chairman,     Jaredna    Johnson.     The

Christmas  party  that  is  always  looked 
forward  to  was  held  after  the  meet- 
ing on  December  14.  Exchange  of 
gifts  and  delicious  refreshments  com- 
pleted a  very  wonderful  year  for 
president  Eleanor  Costa,  her  corps 
of  officers  and  the  members  of  James 
Lick  Parlor. 


NJ>jQ.W.  Home 

By  Emilliete  Conmy,  Chairman 

One  of  the  earliest  and  most  re- 
vered projects  of  the  NDGW  is  their 
home  which  was  established  in  San 
Francisco  in  1899  under  the  farsee- 
ing  leadership  of  a  dedicated  group 
of  Native  Daughters  and  is  now  lo- 
cated at  555  Baker  Street  in  that 
city.  The  present  building  was  dedi- 
cated formally  on  January  12,  1929. 

The  home  is  supported  by  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West 
and  managed  by  the  Home  Commit- 
tee. Since  it  is  licensed  by  the  State, 
the  residents  are  subject  to  certain 
State  regulations  as  weU  as  provis- 
ions of  the  constitution  of  the  NDGW 
and  policies  adopted  by  the  Grand 
Parlor. 

Webster's  defination  of  home  as 
"one's  abode  or  residence",  is  the 
one  that  best  applies  to  the  NDGW 
Home.  It  is  not  a  rest  home  and 
therefore  admits  only  members  who 
are  in  good  health  and  completely 
ambulatory.  There  are  living  quarters 
for  twenty-eight.  Transient  visitors 
are  always  welcome  when  there  arc 
vacant  rooms. 

Members  of  the  Order  are  well 
aware  of  their  Home  and  are  inter- 
ested in  its  welfare  and  progress. 
To  this  interest  are  added  the  mater- 
ial gifts  that  arrive  throughout  the 
year  for  the  comfort  of  those  resid- 
ing there. 

The  new  brochure,  distributed  at 
the  1960  Grand  Parlor  held  in  Long 


Beach,  tells  the  story  of  the  NDGW 
Home  in  pictorial  format.  Anyone 
desiring  a  copy  of  this  brochure  may 
obtaining  it  by  writing  to  the  Secre- 
tary of  the  Home  Committee  at  555 
Baker  Street,  San  Francisco.

"The  Golden  Gate  and  Fort 
Point"  is  an  exhibit  which  opened 
December  8  and  will  continue  until 
January  31  at  the  California  Histor- 
ical Society  Mansion  in  San  Fran- 
cisco.

JOAQUIN  PARLOR 

"Do  unto  others"  was  the  hoHday 
theme  for  Joaquin  Parlor  No.  5.  Re- 
cipients of  varying  amounts  were  the 
Oakland  Veterans  Hospital,  the 
Childrens  Foundation,  Stockton  State 
Hospital,  San  Joaquin  Tuberculosis 
and  Health  Association,  and  the 
Muscular  Dystrophy  Foundation.  A 
large  box  of  candy  was  sent  to  the 
Native  Daughters'  Home  as  the  Par- 
lor's Christmas  gift.  Two  baskets  of 
fruit  were  given  to  local  families. 
Geraldine  Veregge  reported  that 
similar  baskets  had  been  delivered 
for   Thanksgiving. 

Members  are  active  in  civic  and 
national  projects.  Mildred  Miller  rep- 
resented the  Parlor  at  a  dinner  held 
by  the  TB  Association.  Annie  Lim- 
baugh  was  appointed  conservation 
chairman  and  is  arranging  to  show 
films  on  the  subject.  Members  have 
volunteered  to  stuff  March  of  Dimes 
envelopes,

ALELI'S  CHRISTMAS 

Patients  at  the  Monterey  County 
Hospital  had  a  particularly  pleasant 
Christmas  due  to  the  efforts  of  Past 
President  Ila  Anderson  of  Aleli  No. 
102.  She  was  appointed  general 
chairman  for  the  hospital's  Christ- 
mas observance  and  coordinator  for 
the  other  participating  organizations. 
Members  of  Aleli  gave  a  voluntary 
contribution  of  a  dollar  each  to  be 
used  in  purchasing  gifts  and  deco- 
rations, as  well  as  useful  and  needed

Fr-ank  B.  Putnam,  historian  of 
Security  First  National  Bank,  retired 
on  December  31  after  48  years  of 
banking  in  Los  Angeles.  He  com- 
menced his  career  in  1912  with  the 
Farmers  and  Merchants  National 
Bank  and  when  that  instiution  merged 
with  Security  First  National  in  1956 
he  was  named  bank  historian. 


Frank  B.  Putnam 

By  his  alert  and  untiring  efforts 
the  bank  has  now  a  collection  of 
over  12,000  historical  photographs 
as  well  as  a  large  number  of  books, 
documents  and  mementoes  bearing 
upon  the  history  of  southern  Cali- 
fornia. Through  Mr.  Putnam's  gener- 
ous cooperation  the  California  Herald 
has  been  loaned  many  pictures  for 
reproduction  and  it  herewith  ex- 
presses publicly  its  great  appreciation 
for  his  many  kindnesses. 

Mr.  Putnam  is  a  director  and  treas- 
urer of  the  Historical  Society  of 
Southern  California,  is  president  of 
the  California  Society  of  Sons  of  the 
Revolution,  is  a  member  of  the  exec- 
utive committee  of  the  Los  Angeles 
County  Museum  Association  and 
since  1926  has  been  a  director  of  the 
Optimist  Home  for  Boys. 

Upon  his  retirement  he  expects  to 
travel  and  carry  out  several  writing 
projects.  Mr.  Clyde  L.  Simpson  will 
succeed  Mr.  Putnam  as  bank  his- 
torian.

"Get  a  horse!"  One  doesn't  hear 
that  expression  very  often  today,  but 
fifty  years  ago  it  was  very  common 
and  was  usually  shouted  derisively  at 
some  unfortunate  motorist  bending 
over  a  flat  tire. 

Only  a  few  minutes  before  the 
driver  of  the  "gasoline  buggy"  had 
probably  been  chugging  jauntily 
down  the  dusty  road  with  carefree 
disregard  of  skittish  horses.  In  a 
devihsh  mood  he  more  than  likely 
had  squeezed  the  bulb  of  his  long 
brass  horn  just  to  see  old  Dobbin 
"shy." 


Then,  seemingly  in  retribution,  a 
tire  went  flat.  It  may  have  blown  out 
with  the  energy  of  a  firecracker,  or 
it  may  have  whistled  noisily  as  the 
air  escaped,  or  it  may  have  just  gent- 
ly sighed  and  collapsed.  In  any  event 
the  motorist  disgustedly  stopped  his 
car  and  got  out. 

He  opened  his  tool  chest  which 
contained  all  of  the  ingredients  nec- 
essary to  perform  a  "do  it  yourself 
job":  a  jack,  a  tire  pump,  a  couple 
of  tire  "irons",  a  tube-patching  kit,  a 
spare  tube,  a  screw  driver,  a  pair  of 
pliers  and  a  wrench  or  two. 

Changing  a  tire  was  a  complicated 
procedure.  The  wheel  was  jacked  up 
and  the  tire  pried  off  the  rim.  The 
inner  tube  was  removed  and  carefully 
examined.  If  it  were  damaged  beyond 

PAGE  14 


repair  it  was  discarded.  Otherwise  it 
was  patched  at  the  roadside.  The 
area  around  the  puncure  was  careful- 
ly rubbed  clean  with  a  rag  dampened 
with  gasoline.  It  was  then  roughened 
with  a  small  scarifier  and  a  coating 
of  tire  cement  applied  and  allowed 
to  dry.  A  tire  patch  was  trimmed  to 
size  and  placed  over  the  hole  and 
thoroughly  pressed  down. 

The  tube  was  then  replaced  in  the 
casing  followed  by  the  struggle  of 
getting  the  tire  back  on  the  wheel 
rim.  When  this  was  accompUshed  the 
real  job  began  -  -  the  back-breaking 
task  of  pumping  up  the  tire.  (Who 
says  those  were  the  good  old  days?)

I  called  White-Emerson  at  Whit- 
tier  and  told  them  that  the  doctor 
was  coming.  Later  Russell  telephoned 
to  me  stating  that  it  would  be  neces- 
sary to  examine  the  brain  for  there 
was  not  sufficient  injury  to  the 
body  to  have  caused  the  death.  I 
jumped  into  a  car  and  sped  to  Whit- 
tier  where  I  saw  the  exposed  brain. 
It  was  dotted  with  countless  ruptures

Then  you  know  why  Smokey  telh 
you  when  he  sees  you  passing 
through, 

"Remember  -  please  be  careful  -  ifi 
the  least  that  you  can  do." 

As  we  sang  we  watched  the  faces; 
of  the  people  along  the  way  and 
were  thrilled  to  see  the  happiness 
they  reflected  as  this  wonderful  par- 
ade glided  slowly  along  the  Avenue 
a  tribute  to  the  love  Calif omians 
have  for  all  that  beautifies  our  glor- 
ious Golden  State.  For  them,  oui 
song  of  gladness  soared  through  the 
air  and  floated  over  the  highest 
mountains  telling  all  who  listen  that 
Smokey  Rides  Again! 

A  huge  mural  showing  half  dome 
and  giant  redwoods,  was  at  the  back 
of  the  50-foot  float  which  was  deco- 
rated with  thousands  of  blossoms, 
The  U.  S.  Forest  Service  sponsored 
the  float  with  the  Native  Sons  and 
Daughters.  Valley  Decorating  Com- 
pany were  the  builders.  The  1961 
theme  featured  "Ballads  in  Blos- 
soms." 

[Editor's  Note:  Since  the  Calif ornk 
Herald  goes  to  press  before  Janu- 
ary 1,  we  do  not  know  whethei 
Smokey  again  won  a  1st  prize  but 
we  hope  so!] 


A  barber  surveyed  the  slick  hair  of  thf

I  WAIT  FOR  YOU 

I  wait  for  you  while  the  doves  are 

calling 

As  evening  comes  to  gently  brush 
Things  of  daylight  into  the  shadows 

And  rest  the  earth  in  tranquil  hush. 

Guitars    chord,    faint    as    harps    far 

distant, 

And  in  the  arroyo  the  cottonwood 

trees 
Are  whispering  prayers  for  those  who 

slumber 

Safe  in  the  faith  of  the  centuries. 

Hasten  Beloved,  Long  have  I  waited. 
My  heart  would  echo  the  gray 
dove's  call. 

Wrapped  in  the  quiet  of  spirits  pass- 
sing, 
1  wait  for  you  by  the  mission  wall. 


WHERE   'DOBE  WALLS   ARE 
CRUMBLING 

n  ave  you  seen  the  shadows 
When  dusk  is  warm  and  gray, 
Moving  through  the  willows 
By  the  old  San  Luis  Rey? 


Often-times  the  whisper 
In  a  wistful  kind  of  way. 
These  shadows  evening  welcomes 
By  the  old  San  Luis  Rey. 

Once  I  saw  them  vanish 
Inside  the  mission  wall. 
But  when  I  tried  to  follow 
I  found  no  trace  at  all; 

Only  the  weathered  crosses 
And  the  pepper  trees  that  sway 
Where  'dobe  walls  are  crumbling 
By  the  old  San  Luis  Rey. 


SONG  OF  CALIFORNIA 

Let  us  sing  of  California 
A  hymn  of  many  strains 

But  ever  with  the  cadence 

Of  the  creaking  wagon-trains. 


Let  us  sing  the  sharp  staccato 

Of    new    picks    upon    the    stone; 

Of  selfish,  sweating  conflict; 
Each  man  for  him  alone. 

Of  those  whom  gold  made  gluttons, 
With  a  strange  hypnotic  lust, 

Who  left  their  claims  abandoned. 
Their  picks  to  dull  and  rust. 

Let  us  sing  of  fertile  valleys; 

Of  men  who  ploughed  and  sowed 
To  grow  the  wheat  and  barley 

Where  abundant  rivers  flowed. 

Let  us  sing  of  homes,  new-builded; 

Of  euciyptus  trees; 
The  scent  of  flowering  orchards; 

The  hum  of  honey  bees. 

Let  us  sing  a  song  of  vastness; 

Of  the  desert  and  the  sea. 
And  another  song  for  progress 

And  one  for  industry. 

But  above  the  chanting  voices, 
Beyond  the  drone  of  planes — 

The  haunting  obbligato 

Of  the  creaking  wagon-trains.

SPECIAL  COLLECTIONS 


My  first  court  room  experience 
would  have  furnished  ample  material 
for  one  of  those  old-time  cartoons 
called  "When  a  Feller  Needs  a 
Friend." 

I  had  been  retained  to  defend  one 
of  two  Mexicans  charged  with  grand 
theft  of  avocados.  The  other  defen- 
dant was  represented  by  a  young 
lawyer  named  Wenzlaff  who  was  a 
legal  novice  like  myself. 

The  case  was  heard  before  Judge 
Homer  G.  Ames  and  was  prosecuted 
by  the  late  S.  B.  "Soppy"  Kaufman. 
A  jury  was  selected  and  the  com- 
plaining witness  testified  on  direct 
examination.  I  noticed  that  some  of 
his  statements  were  considerably  at 
variance  with  the  testimony  that  he 
had  given  at  the  preliminary  hearing 
of  the  case.  When  my  turn  came  to 
cross-examine  I  confronted  him  with 
the  transcript  of  his  former  testimony 
in  an  effort  to  show  he  was  contra- 
dicting himself. 

I  started  to  read  it. 

Immediately  Kaufman  arose.  "I 
object,"  he  said,  "that  isn't  the  proper 
manner  to  impeach  a  witness." 

"Objection  sustained,"  intoned  the 
judge. 

No  matter  what  I  tried  to  do  Kauf- 
man made  the  same  objection  and 
the  judge  always  sustained  him.  I  was 
at  a  loss  to  know  what  to  do  next. 
I  returned  to  the  counsel  table  and 
entered  into  a  whispered  conference 
with  Wenzlaff. 

"What  am  I  doing  wrong?"  I  asked. 

"I  don't  know,"  he  replied,  "I 
never  tried  to  impeach  a  witness  be- 
fore." 

I  glanced  back  at  the  clock.  It  was 
11:30. 

"Listen,"  I  whispered,  "I'll  cross- 
examine  him  until  noon  and  then  wc

FROM  THE  MAILBAG 


Dear  friends: 

I  have  enjoyed  reading  the  Cali- 
fornia Herald  and  the  many  stories 
concerning  the  early  days  and  growth 
of  our  State.  Your  article  with 
reference  to  the  covered  bridge 
at  Knights  Ferry,  which  is  in  Stani- 
slaus County,  was  most  enjoyable; 
and  even  though  we  are  not  situated 
in  what  was  known  as  the  "gold 
country"  yet  we  have  many  interest- 
ing legends  and  stories  concerning 
both  our  County  and  the  no  longer 
visible  early  towns  which  bordered 
the  Toulumne  and  Stanislaus  Rivers. 


With  every  good  wish  for  your  con- 
tinued success. 

Yours  very  truly, 
Ethel  C.  Enos,  PGP

(||p^\  O  YOU  REMEMBER  thosC  Spindlc- 

,iJj/  legged,  potbellied  little  Brown- 
es  that  came  to  us  each  month  in  the 
)t.  Nicholas  magazine?  If  you  do, 
/ou  have  gracefully  placed  yourself  in 
he  middle  age  bracket,  or  maybe  a 
►vee  bit  older,  for  they  delighted  two 
venerations  of  children. 

Who  are  the  Brownies  and  where 
lid  they  come  from?  As  long  as  the 
aldest  storytelhng  grandmother  can 
remember,  they  lived  in  the  Gramp- 
ian Hills  of  Scotland.  Of  course  no- 
body ever  saw  them  for  they  frolicked 
only  after  people  had  gone  to  sleep! 
They  were  helpful  little  elves,  darn- 
ing the  stockings  which  the  weary 
housewife  had  left  unmended  in  her 
chair,  and  plowing  some  field  which 
a  tired  farmer  had  left  for  the  next 
day's  labor.  They  were  brought  to  us 
by  Palmer  Cox  who  had  learned  all 
about  them  from  emigrant  Scots  of 
Granby,  Canada. 

Cox  was  born  in  Granby  on  April 
28,  1840.  Graduating  from  the  local 
academy  he  went  to  San  Francisco 
in  1863  and  for  several  years  worked 
as  a  railroad  employee  and  as  a 
ship  carpenter.  His  employment  was 
merely  a  means  of  sustaining  him- 
self during  his  preparation  for  his 
life's  work.  He  had  a  natural  talent 
for  drawing  and  joined  the  Graphic, 
a  famous  sketching  club.  Here  he 
studied  charcoal,  crayon,  and  pen 
and  ink  drawing  and  "otherwise 
gained  confidence  in  an  artistic  ca- 
reer." 

FEBRUARY,  1961 


He  contributed  humorous  verse 
and  cartoons  to  the  Golden  Era,  Aha 
California,  and  other  local  publica- 
tions. His  first  book,  Squibs  of  Cali- 
fornia or  Everyday  Life  Illustrated 
was  published  by  Anton  Roman,  San 
Francisco  pioneer  bookseller,  in 
1874.  It  consisted  of  a  series  of  il- 
lustrated short  skits  in  prose  and 
verse. 

At  the  age  of  thirty-six  Cox  de- 
cided that  it  was  time  to  launch  his 
career.  He  quit  his  job,  went  to  New 
York,  and  opened  a  studio.  He  be- 
came associated  with  a  comic  week- 
ly called  Wild  Oats  which  struggled 
along  for  about  five  years  and  then 
went  out  of  existence.  In  short  or- 
der he  published  three  stories.  Hans 
Von  Belter's  Trip  to  Gotham,  How 


Columbus  Found  America,  and  That 
Stanley!  The  last  named  was  a  bal- 
lad-burlesque satirizing  Henry 
M.  Stanley's  African  expedition  to 
find  Livingston. 

After  four  years  in  New  York  he 
commenced  illustrating  stories  for 
St.  Nicholas  magazine.  He  was  a 
steady  contributor  to  Harper's 
Young  People,  Wide  Awake,  and 
similar  juvenile  publications.  Cox  was 
now  a  success.  Orders  came  to  him 
unsought. 

He  enjoyed  creating  stories  about 
animals,  birds,  insects  and  "every 
thing  that  could  be  dressed  up  in  odd 
costumes  and  talk  like  human 
beings." 

As  St.  Nicholas  demanded  more 
and  more  of  his  creations  he  hunted 
about  for  some  original  idea  with 
which  he  could  carry  out  a  series  of 
stories.  The  Brownies  were  the  re- 
sult. The  first  Brownies  were  of  a 
rather  conventional  type.  Some  had 
curly  little  antennae  like  insects; 
others  had  long  beards;  all  had  round 
paunches,  spindly  legs  and  tapering 
feet. 

To  the  delight  of  his  youthful 
readers  Cox  hit  upon  the  device  of 
introducing  special  characters  like 
the  Duds,  Irishman,  Dutchman,  Po- 
liceman, Cadet,  Sailor,  Chinaman, 
and  others  until  he  had  about  fifty 
difl'erent  kinds.  One  of  the  last  that 
he  created  was  the  Cowboy  Brownie

'HEN  Fray  Junipero  Serra 
^  founder  of  the  California 
Missions,  was  about  to  die,  he  or- 
dered the  mission  carpenter  to  build 
him  a  coffin  of  redwood.  In  this  he 
was  buried  at  Mission  San  Carlos 
Borromeo  at  Carmel  in  1784.  This 


mission  fell  into  ruins  in  1852  and 
knowledge  of  the  exact  burial  place 
of  Serra  was  temporarily  lost.  Ninety- 
eight  years  after  his  death  the  coffin 
was  discovered  in  a  perfectly  sound 
condition. 

The  fact  that  the  redwood  is  re- 


sistant to  fire,  insects  and  decay 
makes  it  an  important  commercial 
item,  but  it  is  its  age,  its  size  and  its 
beauty  that  have  endeared  it  to  the 
hearts  of  Califomians.  Without  de- 
tracting from  its  fame,  residents  of 
this  State  can  point  to  other  native

trees  of  which  they  are  equally  proud. 

Only  a  few  years  ago  public  atten- 
tion was  called  to  the  ancient  bristle- 
cone  pines  which  grow  at  an  eleva- 
tion of  about  11,000  feet  between 
Westgaard  Pass  and  Wyman  Canyon 
in  the  White  Mountains  some  30 
miles  east  of  Bishop.  Their  extreme 
age  was  determined  by  the  late  Dr. 
Edmund  Schulman,  dendrochronolo- 
gist  of  the  University  of  Arizona,  who 
made  a  field  trip  in  August,  1957,  to 
examine  them.  According  to  a  recent 
announcement  from  Washington 
about  100  of  the  trees  are  more  than 
4,000  years  old. 

One  gnarled  patriarch  is  declared 
to  be  more  than  4,600  years  of  age. 
If  so,  it  was  a  seedling  when  the 
Pyramids  were  built  and  was  200 
years  of  age  when  Moses  was  born. 

On  April  12,  1958,  the  U.  S. 
Forest  Service  established  a  restricted 
27,000  acre  forest  area  around  the 
patriarchs  in  the  Inyo  National 
Forest. 

The  Forest  Service  stated  that 
"public  knowledge  about  the  unique- 
ness of  the  trees  plus  an  established 
souvenier  market  might  lead  to  their 
destruction  unless  special  protection 
was  provided." 

There  are  two  kinds  of  Sequoias: 
the  Sierra  redwood,  which  grows  in 
the  mountains,  and  the  Coast  variety 
which  thrives  in  the  "summer  fog 
belt,"  a  four  hundred  fifty  mile  strip 
of  land  bordering  the  ocean. 

The  first  white  men  to  behold 
these  giants  were  members  of  the 
Portola  party  on  their  trek  north- 
ward from  San  Diego  to  San  Fran- 
cisco Bay.  On  October  10,  1769, 
Fray  Juan  Crespi,  chronicler  of  the 
group,  noted  that  on  leaving  camp  on 
the  Pajara  River,  near  the  present 
city  of  Watsonville,  he  and  his  com- 
panions traveled  a  league  "over 
plains  and  low  hills,  well  forested 
with  very  high  trees  of  a  red  color, 
not  known  to  us." 

It  was  another  Franciscan  padre 
who  made  the  next  written  record 
of  observation  of  these  remarkable 
trees.  Fray  Pedro  Font  was  attached 
to  Anza's  expedition  to  the  San 
Francisco  Bay  region  in  1776.  On 
March  twenty-sixth  he  noted  seeing, 
"A  few  spruce  trees  which  they  call 
redwood,  a  tree  that  is  certainly 
beautiful;  and  I  believe  that  it  is  very 
useful  for  its  timber,  for  it  is  very 
straight  and  tall."  Three  days  later, 
in    traversing    what    is    now    Santa 

FEBRUARY,  1961 


Clara  County,  he  discovered  a  tree 
which  he  estimated  to  be  about  137 
feet  tall  and  eighteen  and  a  half  feet 
in  circumference.  This  tree  the  Span- 
ish called  palo  alto,  meaning  "high 
tree." 

It  was  not  until  1833  that  any 
white  man  saw  a  Sierra  redwood.  In 
that  year  Joseph  R.  Walker  led  a 
party  of  trappers  westward  over  the 
mountains  to  California.  He  passed 
through  a  region  of  big  trees  of 
what  are  now  called  the  Merced  and 
Tuolumne  groves  in  Yosemite  Na- 
tional Park.  His  clerk,  Zenas  Leon- 
ard, noted  in  his  journal,  "In  the  last 
two  days'  travelling  we  have  found 
some  trees  of  the  redwood  species  in- 
credibly large — some  of  which  mea- 
sure 16  to  18  fathoms  [96  to  108 
feet]  around  the  trunk  at  the  height 
of  a  man's  head  from  the  ground." 

The  first  mountain  redwoods  to 
attract  public  attention  were  the  Cal- 
averas Big  Trees.  In  1852,  A.  T. 
Dowd,  a  hunter  from  Murphys, 
trailed  a  wounded  grizzly  to  the 
grove.  Overcome  with  awe  at  the 
sight  of  the  giant  trees  he  forgot  all 
about  the  bear!  Returning  to  camp  he 
described  his  discovery.  No  one  be- 
lieved him.  A  few  days  later  he  led 
several  of  his  friends  to  the  grove 
on  the  pretext  of  assisting  him  in 
bringing  back  a  grizzly  which  he 
claimed  to  have  shot.  Approaching  a 
big  tree  he  exclaimed,  "Men,  this  is 
the  grizzly  I've  been  telling  you 
about!" 

Two  years  later  George  Gale 
peeled  the  bark  from  one  of  these  se- 
quoias, portions  of  which  were 
placed  on  exhibit  in  this  country  and 
in  England.  As  a  result  of  this  ad- 
vertising, Calaveras  Big  Trees  be- 
came a  mecca  for  tourists.  Visitors 
on  their  way  to  the  grove  would  stay 
overnight  at  the  Sperry  Hotel  at 
Murphys.  Among  the  names  appear- 
ing on  the  hotel  register  during  these 
early  days  were  those  of  General 
Grant,  Mark  Twain,  Horatio  Alger, 
Jr.,  John  Jacob  Aster,  Jr.,  Henry 
Ward  Beecher,  and  Black  Bart,  the 
highway   robber. 

The  beautiful  Mariposa  Grove  in 
Yosemite  National  Park  was  first 
seen  by  a  hunter  named  R.  Hogg  in 
1855.  At  least  he  claimed  to  have 
seen  three  of  its  mammoth  trees. 
However,  credt  for  discovering  and 
exploring  the  grove  is  given  to  Galen 
Clark  who  entered  it  in  1857.  He 
named  it  Mariposa  because  it  was 


situated  in  Mariposa  County.  When 
Yosemite  Valley  and  Mariposa 
Grove  were  given  to  California  as  a 
state  park  by  the  United  States  in 
1864,  Clark  was  named  its  first 
guardian.  (In  1905  the  state  re-ceded 
the  park  to  the  federal  government. ) 

Without  doubt  the  world's  most 
photographed  tree  is  the  Wawona  in 
the  Mariposa  grove.  In  1878  a  tunnel 
was  cut  through  this  tree  large 
enough  to  accomodate  a  vehicle.  At 
that  time  this  great  redwood  had  a 
large  burnt-out  area  in  its  base.  The 
word  Wawona  is  believed  to  mean 
"big  tree"  in  the  lanquage  of  the 
Mokelumne  Indians. 

The  largest  of  all  the  mountain 
redwood  groves  is  the  Giant  Forest 
in  Sequoia  National  Park,  so  named 
by  John  Muir.  In  1858  Hale  Tharp 
of  Three  Rivers  entered  this  grove 
in  search  of  summer  pasturage  for 
his  cattle.  For  many  years  he  spent 
his  summers  here  in  a  house  made 
out  of  a  fallen  sequoia,  twenty-four 
feet  in  diameter. 

The  General  Sherman  is  the  largest 
tree  that  grows  in  the  Giant  Forest.  It 
was  discovered  by  James  Wolver- 
ton,  a  hunter  and  trapper,  on  August 
7,  1879.  He  named  it  in  honor  of 
General  William  T.  Sherman  under 
whom  he  had  served  as  a  first  lieu- 
tenant in  the  Ninth  Indiana  Cavalry 
during  the  Civil  War.  The  next 
largest  tree,  the  General  Grant,  is 
situated  in  nearby  General  Grant 
National  Park.  It  is  called  the  "na- 
tion's Christmas  tree." 

All  coast  redwood  parks  are  either 
state  or  county  owned  with  the  ex- 
ception of  the  Muir  Woods  National 
Monument  in  Marin  County  which 
was  given  to  the  United  States  gov- 
ernment by  William  Kent  in  honor 
of  his  friend,  John  Muir, 

The  California  State  Redwood 
Park,  commonly  called  Big  Basin,  is 
situated  in  the  Santa  Cruz  moun- 
tains. It  had  its  inception  in  1901 
when  the  Legislature  appropriated 
$250,000  for  the  purpose  of  purchas- 
ing 3,800  acres  of  land  to  be  "pre- 
served in  a  state  of  nature,  saved  for 
posterity,  and  be  protected  for  all 
time."  This  park  now  contains  9,040 
acres.

The  Grand 
President's  Corner 


With  the  start  of  the  New  Year  two 
important  events  took  place.  The 
Tournament  of  Roses  Parade  in  Pasa- 
dena on  January  2,  1961,  with  the 
Native  Sons  and  Native  Daughters 
Float  featuring  Smokey  the  bear. 

You  will  be  interested  to  know  that 
Mr.  Glenn  A.  Kovar,  Director,  Net- 
work Radio-Television,  U.  S.  Forest 
Service,  has  expressed  his  thanks  and 
that  of  Elmer  Osterman,  CaUfomia 
State  Forest  Department;  Don  Porter, 
Angeles  National  Forest  for  the  fine 
work  on  this  year's  Conservation 
Float.  He  has  also  expressed  the  hope 
that  he  will  again  have  the  opportu- 
nity to  work  with  us  on  a  newer  and 
better  float. 

My  sincere  thanks  to  State  Chair- 
man of  Tournament  of  Roses  Float 
Committee,  Darelene  Bush,  her  com- 
mittee, all  Native  Daughters  and 
Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West 
whose  hard  work  and  monetary  con- 
tributions made  this  float  possible. 
Unless  you  actually  work  on  the  con- 
struction of  the  float  you  cannot  pos- 
sibly realize  what  a  great  task  it  is. 

On  Thursday,  January  12,  1961 
I  had  the  opportunity  to  attend  the 
opening  of  the  graves  at  Mission 
Soledad.  The  first  grave  opened  re- 
vealed a  Redwood  coffin  which  yield- 
ed fragments  of  bone  and  a  crucifix. 
It  is  hoped  that  the  remains  are  those 
of  Jose  Joaquin  de  Arrillega,  Spanish 
Governor  of  California  who  died  in 
1814.  The  bones  that  were  found  in 
the  second  grave  are  believed  to  be 
those  of  the  Franciscan  friar  Ibanez 
who  died  in  1818.  History  tells  us 
Friar  Ibanez  and  Governor  Arrillega 
were  great  friends.

Babcock  Stage 


^i^EARs  AGO  WE  had  some  very 
Ji  famous  bandits,  who  had  a 
grand  and  easy  time  to  get  money 
holding  up  stage  coaches.  In  the 
north  v/ith  its  long  stretch  of  roads, 
it  was  Murrieta,  the  Robin  Hood  of 
the  West,  but  in  the  Southern  Cali- 
fornia, it  was  Vasquez,  or  Vasques. 
The  latter  was  the  polite  one,  who, 
Tia  often  told  me  as  we  would  be  on 
the  Sante  Fe  passing  through  what  is 
now  called  Rose  Canyon,  always 
stopped  the  coaches,  a  private  car- 
riage, or  caravan,  in  a  most  dramatic 
way,  by  lightly  and  quickly  stepping 
out  from  behind  a  bush,  tree,  or  large 
stone,  holding  his  pistols  pointed  at 
his  prospective  victims,  ordered  them 
to  stop. 

A  cold  nonchalance  of  fear  would 
settle  over  everyone,  as  they  knew 
this  robber  very  well  indeed.  He  sel- 
dom shot  to  kill,  but  to  wound — 
yes,  if  one  resisted  giving  up  his  gold 
It  was  the  gold  Vasquez  wanted. 
Here,  Tia  always  chuckled,  when  she 
told  how  this  suave  "Don  Quixote", 
after  seeing  that  all  escorts  and  driv- 
ers had  their  hands  in  the  air,  and  no 
weapons  in  them,  would  order  them 
to  keep  that  position,  as  he  eased 
toward  the  carriage  or  coach  to  see 
if  any  men  were  seated  inside. 

If  so,  they  were  ordered  out  hands 
up,  and  all  would  be  herded  back 

FEBRUARY,  1961 


of  the  coach.  He  then  went  with  a 
most  gallant  bow,  to  the  ladies,  from 
whom,  he  never  took  a  thing,  no  mat- 
er how  much  jewelry  they  had  on. 
Nor,  would  he  lift  anything  from 
their  laps,  if  their  men  had  thought 
quickly  enough,  to  drop  anything 
there  when  they  were  first  stopped. 

No — Vasquez  would  never  harm  a 
lady.  But,  walking  back  of  the  coach 
he  overlooked  nothing  any  of  the 
men  might  have  on  his  person,  from 
big  heavy  gold  watches  and  chains, 
to  diamond  scarf  pins  and  rings.  Men 
wore  much  gold  in  those  days.  Vas- 
quez had  it  all  though,  when  he 
finished  with  them.  Then,  he  would 
stand  back  and  order  them  to  return 
inside  the  coach  or  to  their  horses. 

The  real  climax  would  then  take 
place,  as  this  well-built,  well  dressed 
robber  would  make  a  very  deep  bow 
to  the  ladies — sweeping  his  big  hat 
off  with  a  flourish,  bowing  low,  so 
his  face  would  not  be  seen  too  well, 
and  then  wish  them  a  pleasant 
"transcurso"  (trip).  "You  will  not  be 
bothered  again  on  this  trip,"  he 
promised. 

The  other  robber  character  was 
Joaquin  Murrieta,  who  really  helped 
the  poor  in  every  way.  Physically,  he 
did  much.  Nothing  was  too  hard — 
no  place  too  far  to  travel.  But,  to 
help  financially  presented  a  problem, 


Arcadia  Bandini  Brenttan 

as  personally,  he  had  very  little.  So, 
when  anyone  in  need  really  had  to 
have  money,  Murieta  got  it  for  them. 
His  ways  may  not  have  been  ethical, 
but  help  them  he  did.  The  poor  loved 
him.  The  others  said  Httle.  Perhaps 
they  tried  not  to  say  too  much,  as 
he  really  helped  so  very  many. 

Here,  I  remember  a  family  con- 
nection, perhaps  an  in-law,  but  just 
how  close  I  am  not  too  sure,  named 
Flora  Golsch.  Flora  was  a  very 
modem  woman  for  her  day,  a  re- 
markable character,  as  nothing  seem- 
ed to  hard  for  her  to  do  or  undertake, 
and  that  is  why  this  memory  remains 
very  clearly  with  me. 

How  the  older  generation  talked 
of  the  years  she  taught  the  Indians 
in  a  little  school  up  at  Temecula! 
Then,  during  vacations.  Flora  would 
go  north  to  visit  her  relatives,  a  sister, 
I  think,  whose  married  name  was 
Murrieta.  Since  it  took  a  long  time  to 
drive  back,  she  would  return  to  San 
Diego  on  the  steamer  that  made  this 
trip  regularly  once  a  week. 

And  here  is  where  Flora  Golsch's 
real  exercise  came  in,  because,  the 
steamer  no  sooner  got  to  Ballast  Point 
than  over  the  side,  would  go  a  woman 
in  a  bathing  suit,  and  start  swimming 
to  beat  the  steamer  across  the  bay 
from  Point  Loma  to  San  Diego.  This 
was  done  like  clock  work,  every  time 
she  came  back,  and  we  young  ones 
would  hear  Mother's  generation  say, 
"When  is  Flora  going  to  act  as  a  lady 
should?  She  does  embarass  her  sister 
so." 

And  here  is  where  I  remember  the 
name.  For  her  sister  was  a  Mrs. 
Murrieta.  Could  there  have  been  a 
connection  between  these  two  adven- 
turesome souls? 

Many  old  timers,  like  me,  must  re- 
member these  swims.  She  would 
come  up  by  the  old  coal  bunkers  or 
wharves  that  stuck  out  into  the  bay 
at  the  end  of  D  Street — our  Broad-

SAN  FRANCISCO  DEPUTIES 

SDDGP  Lucille  Ashbaugh  and  her 
24  deputies  met  for  dinner  and  a 
party  at  Castle  Lanes  on  Geneva 
Avenue.  Mama  Azalia  gave  each  one 
of  the  deputies  a  pair  of  violet  ear 
rings  to  complete  the  set  started 
earlier  in  the  term.  Secret  pal  gifts 
were  received  and  of  course  the 
names  will  not  be  revealed 
until  the  end  of  the  term.  After  the 
fun  a  short  business  meeting  was  held. 
This  time  fun  came  before  business. 
In  charge  of  the  evening,  Georgia 
Robinson  of  Utopia  Parlor  thanked 
all  for  coming  and  wished  them  a 
happy  New  Year. 

Past  supervisor  Ann  Shaw  and  her 
1959-1960  deputies  celebrated  by 
meeting  for  dinner  at  Caesar's 
Restaurant.  Exchange  of  gifts  closed 
a  very  pleasant  evening.  It  is  hoped 
this  will  be  an  annual  affair.  Our  Ann 
presented  each  one  with  a  beautiful 
pink  carnation  corsage.  Missed  but 
not  forgotten  was  Loretta  Forbes, 
who  we  are  certain  was  watching. 

All  Deputy  Grand  Presidents,  both 
present  and  past,  extended  good 
wishes  for  1961  to  all.

JAMES  LICK  PARLOR 

Gift  exchange  and  refreshments 
closed  a  very  busy  1960  year.  Presi- 
dent Eleanor  Costa  announced  her 
plans  for  the  new  term  at  the  January 
meeting.  James  Lick  Parlor  members, 
with  Jaredna  Johnson  Chairman,  are 
making  plans  for  the  official  visit  of 
Grand  President  Edna  WiUiams  on 
February  27.  Minerva,  Fremont  and 
San  Souci  will  greet  our  grand  presi- 
dent with  James  Lick  at  that  time.

UTOPIA  PARLOR 

The  members  of  Utopia  Parlor 
have  been  working  very  hard  and  in 
doing  so  read  six  applications  for 
membership  and  expect  to  add  four 
more.  Grand  President  Edna  Wil- 
liams made  her  official  visit  to  the 
Parlor  on  January  10.  Utopia  has 
initiated  five  into  the  Parlor  since 
July  1,   1960.  The  Christmas  party

EDUCATION  AND 
SCHOLARSHIPS 

BY  Marian  E.  McGuire 
State  Chairman 

T 

I  HIS  DECADE  OF  the  sixties  pre- 
sents many  problems  and  challenges 
to  Californians.  We  are  proud  and 
fully  aware  of  the  progress  and  effec- 
tiveness of  our  great  educational  sys- 
tem throughout  the  length  and  breath 
of  our  great  state  affording  opportuni- 
ties to  children  of  all  races,  creeds 
and  social  status.  Yet  we  find  our- 
selves challenged  by  the  fast  moving 
pace  and  ever  changing  conditions  of 
this  wonderful  though  somewhat  hec- 
tic era  in  which  we  live.  Ever  in- 
creasing enrollment,  mounting  costs, 
teacher  shortages,  and  demands  of 
technology  and  scientific  advance- 
ment have  pointed  to  the  need  for 
evaluation  and  improvement  of  exist- 
ing educational  programs,  systems, 
techniques  and  facilities. 

By  1970  it  is  estimated  that  there 
will  be  7,513,000  students  in  schools 
and  colleges  in  California.  This  rep- 
resents an  annual  increase  of  26,800 
students,  requiring  one  hundred  new 
classrooms  and  teachers  each  week 
-to  meet  the  growing  need.  Curricula 
and  teaching  techniques  are  being 
scrutinized  to  improve  the  quality 
and  efficiency  of  our  educational 
systems.  Teaching  credentials  are  be- 
ing revised  to  present  a  more  realistic 
training  with  more  emphasis  on  con- 
tent and  subject  matter.  Television 
offers  great  oppportunities  for  educa- 
tional instruction  and  teachers  must 
be  trained  to  work  with  this  new 
media.  New  facilities  and  classrooms 
must  be  provided.  Programs  for  the 
mentally  retarded  and  physically 
handicapped,  the  gifted  and  the 
socially  disturbed  students  must  be 
expanded  and  strengthened.  Voca- 
tional and  apprenticeship  training 
programs  must  be  extended  to  meet 
the  needs  of  industry,  commerce, 
agriculture  and  the  professional  arts. 

The  importance  of  moral  and 
spiritual  values  in  the  discipline  and 
development  of  the  whole  personality 
of  the  child  was  recognized  at  the 
White  House  Conference  on  Children 
and  Youth  and  there  were  recom- 
mendations both  there  and  at  many 
local  town  meetings  for  stronger  em- 
phasis in  our  schools  on  integrity, 
virtue,  dignity  and  responsibility.  As 

PAGE  10 


we  demand  these  things  for  our  youth 
it  is  imperative  that  adults  also  ex- 
emplify these  same  virtues  and  as- 
sume our  responsibility  to  provide 
adequate  educational  facilities  and 
services  for  all. 

Alert  citizens  on  both  the  local  and 
state  levels  have  by  constructive 
criticism  and  studied  recommenda- 
tions prompted  action  by  our  legisla-

schools  and  educational  systems  and 
programs.  Be  aware  of  the  educa- 
tional opportunities  and  needs  in  your 
local  communities  and  by  your  con- 
fidence or  constructive  criticism  be  a

rapid  change  and  stress. 

The  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gol- 
den West  have  long  recognized  the 
importance  of  higher  education  and 
by  the  scholarship  program  six  young 
people  are  annually  aided  in  the  pur- 
suit of  learning  at  colleges  and  uni- 
versities in  California.  These  scholar- 
ships are  awarded  on  the  basis  of 
scholarship,  character  and  need.  They 
are  maintained  by  the  Grand  Parlor; 
one  or  two  at  Mills  College;  two 
which  shall  be  awarded  at  any  of  the 
campuses  of  the  University  of  Cali- 
fornia; one  from  the  Annie  L.  Adair 
Business  Scholarship  Fund  and  one 
from  the  Sue  J.  Irwin  Scholarship 
Fund.  Applications  should  be  re- 
ceived by  the  Committee  not  later 
than  April  15th,  1961.  Forms  may 
be  obtained  from  the  Grand  Parlor 
Office.

The  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gold- 
en West  were  instrumental  in  starting 
the  restoration  work  at  Mission  Sole-  • 
dad  and  completed  the  small  chapel 
in  October  1955.  Under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  Ollie  Pasch,  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  and 
the  local  Our  Lady  of  Solitude  parish 
in  Soledad  are  making  plans  for 
further  restoration  work. 

February  is  the  month  that  we  as 
loyal  citizens  of  the  United  States  of 
America  should  pay  tribute  to  those 
two  great  Americans,  George  Wash- 
ington and  Abraham  Lincoln.  These 
two  men,  together  with  others  who 
worked  with  them,  are  responsible 
for  our  democratic  way  of  life.  I  urge 
every  Parlor  of  the  Native  Daughters 
of  the  Golden  West  to  plan  an  Ameri- 
canism program  during  the  month  ol 
February.

Anna  L.  Richards  in  Her  Favorite  Role 


'  Wrinkles 


This  poem  was  written  by  Anna 
L.  Richards  in  reply  to  a  friend's 
suggestion  that  she  have  some  beauty 
treatments  to  remove  her  wrinkles. 
Her  poetry  strikes  a  philosophical 
note  that  sets  it  apart  from  ordinary 
verse. 

Mrs.  Richards  appeared  in  both 
motion  pictures  and  on  the  legitimate 
stage.  As  a  young  lady  she  was  a 
member  of  the  first  women's  band  in 
California  which  was  directed  by  Wil- 
liam P.  Knight.  She  was  the  mother 
of  Lenoir  Richards  Martin,  well- 
known  choreographer,  artist  and 
author.  Anna  L.  Richards  passed 
away  in  1953. 

"WRINKLES" 

You  ask  me  to  have  my  face  ironed 

out. 
Lose  my  wrinkles  and  greying  hair; 
In  other  words,  to  look  young  again 
By  hiding  life's  wear  and  tear. 

FEBRUARY,  1961 


My  answer  I  send  in  the  lines  below, 
Straight  from  my  heart  to  you, 
As  I  think  of  the  story  of  aged  wine. 
Cheapened  by  bottles  new. 

Would  you  like  to  gaze  forever 

On  a  calm,  untroubled  sea? 

Have  you  ever  stood  in  the  midst 

of  a  plain 
With  never  a  shrub  or  tree? 

Would  you  like   to  have  the  earth 

bereft 
Of  its  mountains,  rugged  and  bold? 
Or  lose  the  steep  arroyos, 
Where  the  mighty  torrents  rolled? 

Did  you  ever  look  at  a  picture 
That  you  really  wanted  to  keep, 
That  did  not  speak  either  of  agony 
Or  peace  hard-won  and  deep? 

When  you  look  at  my  face,  would 
you  like  to  see 


A  vacant,  vapid  stare 

Of  old,  tired  eyes  in  a  young,  smooth 

face, 
Capped  by  hennaed  hair? 

I'd  rather  you'd  see  volcanoes, 
Long  dead  and  capped  with  snow; 
And  peaceful,  purple  valleys, 
Dim  in  the  distance  below. 

I'd  like  you  to  think  of  the  shadows 

In  a  late  December  sky. 

And  the  last  faint  rays  of  the  setting 

sun 
As  it  kisses  the  world  good-bye. 

I  want  you  to  have  a  memory, 
When  I  have  passed  along, 
Of  a  struggling,  hoping,  human  soul; 
Not  a  jazzy,  off-rhythm  song. 

So  I  think  I'll  let  my  wrinkles  remain; 

There's  a  story  in  every  line. 

If  you  love  me  in  spite  of  the  tales 

they  tell. 
Your  friendship  is  surely  mine.

HOME  HEALTH  FUND 

By  Margaret  Locatelli 
State  Chairman 


I  HIS  IS  A  STORY  about  a  fairly  new 
dream  within  the  Native  Daughters 
Home  called  the  Leslye  A.  Hicks 
Home  Health  Fund,  and  it  is  gratify- 
ing to  know  that  the  intervening  years 
have  confirmed  faith  in  our  original 
purpose. 

In  June  of  1954,  when  the  reso- 
lution to  establish  this  fund  was 
placed  before  the  Grand  Parlor,  its 
purpose  was  plainly  set  forth.  This 
was,  in  brief,  to  supply  aid  to  the 
members  residing  in  the  Native 
Daughter  Home  when  they  are  in 
need  of  financial  assistance  for  medi- 
cal, surgical  or  nursing  care,  hospi- 
talization or  medicine. 

Let  us  share  just  a  comer  of  your 
heart  with  our  short  story.  It  is  filled 
with  love  because  it  carries  the  name 
of  one  who  loved  our  Order  and  was 
taken  in  death  at  the  height  of  her 
admmistration  as  Grand  President 
just  a  few  years  ago.  Hers  was  a 
generous  heart  and  her  first  love  in 
the  Order  was  the  Native  Daughter 
Home. 

It  seems  fitting  then,  that  in  her 
memory,  the  Grand  Parlor  delegates 
voted  to  change  the  name  of  the 
Home  Health  Fund  to  the  Leslye  A. 
Hicks  Home  Health  Fund.  This  is  a 
long-range  program  and  it  will  be  per- 
haps many  years  before  it  reaches  its 
ultimate  goal.  Now,  in  a  small  way, 
it  is  operating  by  lending  a  helping 
hand  when  needed.  Some  day,  we 
hope  our  story  will  be  "A  Dream 
Come  True"  when  sufficient  funds 
allow  greater  participation. 

The  Leslye  A .  Hicks  Home  Health 
Fund  is  maintained  by  the  Grand 
Parlor,  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gol- 
den West,  703  Market  Street,  San 
Francisco,  California,  and  is  support- 
ed by  voluntary  contributions.  This 
project  keeps  alive  the  memory  of  a 
devoted  leader  and,  in  turn  brings  a 
measure  of  comfort  to  those  in  need. 
It  is  the  hope  of  the  committee,  that 
as  the  fund  increases  the  benefits  will 
be  expanded. 

The  committee  cannot  be  too  en- 
thusiastic in  its  expression  of  appre- 
ciation to  the  members  of  the  Order 
who  have  made  substanial  contribu- 
tions to  this  project. 

PAGE  12 


This  is  our  earnest  hope  that  in 
the  coming  years  we  will  always  merit 
your  interest  and  support.

"SMOKEY"  CAPTURES  THIRD 
IN  TOURNAMENT 

The  float  sponsored  by  the 
Native  Sons  and  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West  in  the  Tournament  of 
Roses  at  Pasadena  on  New  Year's 
Day  took  third  place  in  the  Fraternal 
Organizations  Classification.  This 
year  the  float  depicted  small  floral 
forest  animals  and  two  children  (Jim- 
my Bitinni  and  Christine  Boles,  five 
generation  Calif omians)  singing  the 
song,  "Smokey  the  Bear,"  to  a  large 
Smokey  Bear,  with  a  simulated  slice 
from  a  Giant  Sequoia  as  backdrop. 

Darelene  Bush,  chairman  of  the 
Tournament  Float  Committee  for  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West,  wishes  to  extend  the  thanks  of 
the  sisterhood  to  those  parlors  who 
so  generously  donated  their  time  and 
effort  in  construction  of  the  float, 
and  to  the  parlors  whose  donations 
of  money  financed  the  undertaking. 
Our  heartfelt  thanks  are  also  extend- 
ed to  the  United  States  Forestry  Ser- 
vice, who  also  shared  in  financing  the 
project.  Without  the  labor  and 
financing  donated  by  these  parlors, 
there  could  not  be  any  entry  in  the 
Tournament  of  Roses,  and  the  in- 
valuable nationwide  publicity  gained 
by  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gol- 
den West  through  participation  in  the 
Rose  Parade  would  be  lost. 

Our  thanks  again  to  the  many 
people  who  enabled  our  project  to  be 
so  successfully  completed.

can  go  down  town  and  ask  some  law- 
yer how  to  impeach  him.  You  watch 
the  clock." 

"OK,"  he  answered. 

I  continued  my  cross-examination. 
I  asked  the  witness  all  about  avocado 
prices,  marketing  conditions,  time  of 
harvest  and  other  non-essential  mat- 
ters. Figuratively  speakmg  I  plowed 
an  avocado  orchard  backward  and 
forward,  diagonally  and  in  circles. 

"What  time  is  it?"  I  hissed. 

"Twenty  minutes  of  twelve." 

I  began  again.  Kaufman  objected 
strenuously  and  often  that  my  ques- 
tions had  been  asked  and  answered, 
but  the  judge  ruled  consistently 
against  him. 

"What  time  is  it?"  I  again  whis- 
pered. 

"Ten  minutes  of  twelve." 

I  struggled  on  and  on.  My  ques- 
tioning was  repetitious,  pointless  and 
unproductive.  I  was  in  mental  agony. 

Finally,  to  my  relief,  Judge  Ames 
announced,  "We  will  take  a  recess 
until  two  o'clock." 

Wenzlaff  and  I  hurried  down  town 
and  found  a  lawyer  who  hadn't  gone 
out  to  lunch.  He  carefully  instructed 
us  in  the  technique  of  impeaching  a 
witness  who  had  made  previous  in- 
consistent statements.  As  we  re- 
entered the  court  room  we  were  met 
by  Kaufman  who  said,  "The  witness 
made  a  few  slight  mistakes  in  his 
testimony  and  we  would  be  glad  to 
correct  the  errors." 

"Listen,"  I  snorted,  "you  could 
have  made  that  offer  this  morning, 
but  you  didn't.  Now  I've  learned  how 
to  impeach  him  and  I'm  going  to 
show  him  up  for  what  he  is,  a  big 
liar!" 

And  I  did! 

What  is  more,  in  my  address  to 
the  jury  I  baldly  called  the  witness 
a  liar.  The  jury  returned  a  verdict  of 
petty  theft.  Later  Judge  Ames  called 
me  to  his  chambers. 

"Leo,"  he  said  kindly,  "It  would 
have  been  better  if  you  had  not  called 
the  witness  a  liar." 

"But  he  was,"  I  protested. 

"Maybe  so,  maybe  so,  but  there 
are  more  delicate  words  that  can  be' 
just  as  effective." 

I  took  his  advice  to  heart  and  ir 
the  future  used  those  "more  delicate 
words." 

CALIFORNIA  HERALD! 


There  is  a  delightful  little  sequel  to 
this  story  that  I  cherish  in  my  collec- 
tion of  memories.  One  day  I  was 
reminiscing  with  my  very  good  friend 
and  efficient  court  reporter,  Mrs. 
Birdie  A.  Swanwick,  who  reported 
my  first  case. 

"Birdie,"  I  asked,  "do  you  remem- 
ber the  time  I  defended  a  Mexican 
in  Judge  Ames'  court  for  stealing 
avocados  from  a  La  Habra  grove?" 

She  laughed  heartily. 

"I  remember  it  very  well,"  she  re- 
plied. "That  was  the  first  time  I  had 
ever  seen  you.  I  didn't  know  Wenzlaff 
either.  Although  you  both  gave  me 
your  names  they  were  unfamiliar  to 
me  and  so,  in  the  interest  of  speed, 
in  my  notes  I  called  you  'Big  Fat' 
and  the  other  lawyer  'Little  Fat'." 

Birdie,  as  usual  you  were  absolute- 
ly accurate! 


BROWNIES  .  .  . 

(Continued  from  Page  3) 

which  was  suggested  by  President 
Theodore  Roosevelt.  Without  doubt 
the  most  popular  Brownie  of  all  was 
the  Dude  with  his  full  dress  suit,  top 
hat,  cane  and  monocle.  Lady  Brown- 
ies were  not  in  evidence  so  it  is  to 
be  assumed  that  they  stayed  home 
while  their  brothers  engaged  in  the 
nocturnal    adventures. 

Cox  had  a  definite  philosophy 
about  the  Brownies.  In  an  interview 
with  Joyce  Kilmer,  printed  in  the 
New  York  Times  in  1916  he  said,  "I 
see  no  reason  why  the  comic  artist 
who  is  drawing  pictures  to  amuse 
children  should  think  it  necessary  al- 
ways to  show  childhood  at  its  worst. 
A  picture  can  be  just  as  funny  and 
yet  not  be  a  celebration  of  juvenile 
depravity;  indeed,  a  picture  can  be 
just  as  funny,  give  pleasure  to  an 
even  greater  number  of  children,  and 
yet  point  a  moral." 

He  continued,  "The  Brownies, 
you  know,  never  give  pain  nor  do 
they  suffer  pain.  They  are  often  in 
danger,  but  they  always  escape.  I 
think  that  every  story  or  poem  for 
children  should  leave  a  pleasant  im- 
pression. The  Brownies  do  good,  just 
for  the  sake  of  doing  good,  not  for 
the  sake  of  reward." 

In  his  preface  to  his  Brownie 
books  Cox  wrote,  "Brownies,  like 
fairies  and  gobhns,  are  imaginary  lit- 
tle sprites,  who  are  supposed  to  de- 

FEBRUARY,  1961 


light  in  harmless  pranks  and  helpful 
deeds.  They  work  and  sport  while 
weary  households  sleep,  and  never 
allow  themselves  to  be  seen  by  mor- 
tal eyes." 

Cox's  theory  of  juvenile  entertain- 
ment was  vastly  different  from  the 
creators  of  some  of  our  present  day 
"comic"  books.  Moreover  he  suc- 
ceeded in  producing  incidents  that 
were  funny,  a  faculty  apparently  be- 
yond the  ability  of  some  of  our  con- 
temporary cartoonists. 

The  first  story  to  be  illustrated  by 
the  Brownies  was  called  "The  Revolt 
of  the  Alphabet"  appearing  in  St. 
Nicholas.  However,  Cox  did  not 
write  that  tale.  The  first  Brownie 
story  proper,  "The  Brownies  Ride" 
was  printed  in  the  February,  1893 
issue  of  the  same  magazine. 

Cox  published  thirteen  Brownie 
Books.  The  first,  issued  in  1887,  was 
called  "The  Brownies — Their  Book." 
Thirty-one  years  later  he  published 
the  last  of  the  series,  "The  Brownies 
and  Prince  Florimal."  All  of  his 
books,  except  the  last,  were  written 
in  verse.  Interestingly  enough,  it  was 
on'y  in  the  last  book  that  he  intro- 


duced any  characters  other  than  the 
Brownies. 

Cox  estimated  that  he  drew  more 
than  a  million  Brownies  during  his 
career  and  his  books  sold  over  the 
million  mark.  His  great  financial  suc- 
cess enabled  him  to  return  to  his  old 
home  town  of  Granby  and  there 
erect  a  huge  mansion  which  he  called 
"Brownie  Castle."  A  true  castle  it 
was  with  a  Brownie  weathervane, 
the  Brownie  flag  flying  from  its  tur- 
ret and  numerous  Brownie  decora- 
tions. 

He  loved  children  and  was  never 
too  busy  to  draw  them  a  Brownie.  It 
is  said  that  in  his  later  years  that 
every  child  in  Granby  sent  him  a 
greeting  card  on  his  birthday.  Cox 
never  married.  He  passed  away  on 
July  24,  1924,  at  Brownie  Castle.  He 
had  hved  a  full  life  of  eighty-four 
years. 

On  August  sixth  the  Nation  de- 
clared: "Pahner  Cox  is  dead;  the 
Brownies  have  lost  their  father.  A 
generation  now  sedate  in  middle  age 
was  surprised  to  learn  that  the  cre- 
ator of  its  childhood  friends  had

lived  so  long.  The  Brownies  had  be- 
come almost  as  authenic  and  uni- 
versal a  part  of  American  childhood 
as  Cooper's  red  Indians  .  .  .  Gen- 
erations of  children  and  ex-children 
lose  a  friend." 


Malcolm  Davis,  in  a  tribute  in  St. 
Nicholas  prophesied  that,  "In  all  the 
years  to  come  his  name  will  be  asso- 
ciated with  those  of  Hans  Christian 
Anderson,  the  Brothers  Grimm,  and 
Lewis  Carroll;  for  like  these,  he  be- 
stowed a  priceless  heritage  on  child- 
hood." The  Outlook  observed  that 
the  Brownies  belong  with  Ahce  in 
Wonderland  and  Brer  Rabbitt. 

Whether  Palmer  Cox  is  remem- 
bered by  the  next  generation  is  ques- 
tionable. Eleven  of  his  thirteen 
books  were  in  print  when  he  died. 
None  are  stocked  today.  Perhaps  his 
Brownies  have  gone  to  a  mythical 
heaven  with  Buster  Brown,  Nemo, 
Happy  Hoohgan  and  the  Yellow 
Kid. 

Irrespective  of  the  future,  count- 
less thousands  of  today's  grownups 
are  thankful  to  Palmer  Cox  for  the 
hours  of  pleasure  he  gave  them  in 
their  childhood. 


Two  Americans  were  cast  away  on  a 
desert  island  in  the  middle  of  the  Pacific 
for  nearly  three  years.  One  day  while  they 
stood  on  the  beach  gazing  out  to  the 
horizon,  one  spotted  a  bottle  being  washed 
ashore.  He  raced  out  into  the  surf  and 
pulled  it  in.  It  was  one  of  those  new  king- 
sized  Coca-Cola  bottles.  He  looked  at  it, 
then  a  frightening  realization  crossed  his 
mind.  "Joe,"  he  shrieked,  "we've  shrunk!" 


A  few  days  ago  a  metropolitan 
daily  newspaper  contained  an  item 
stating  the  "historic  fact"  that  auto- 
mobile steering  wheels  were  once 
made  of  wood!  Surely,  that  is  not 
very  long  ago.  Now,  if  something 
had  been  written  about  those  "till- 
ers" that  were  in  vogue  before  steer- 
ing wheels,  we  would  be  reading 
about  an  antique  era. 

A  tiller,  if  you  don't  know,  was 
simply  a  horizontal  bar  attached  to 
the  steering  post.  There  are  indica- 
tions that  future  automobiles  will  be 
guided  by  a  "stick."  If  so,  history 
will  be  repeating  itself. 

To  those  young  drivers  of  today, 
whose  greatest  physical  exertion  to 
open  the  window  of  a  car  is  to  press 
a  button,  I  will  say,  "You're  lucky. 
You  ought  to  have  experimented 
with  putting  up  and  down  the  tops 
of  the  old-time  touring  cars." 


^/(^  //^ 


A  certain  manufacturer  advertis- 
ed a  "one-man"  top,  deliberately  re- 
presented that  one  person  could 
easily  put  it  in  place.  The  pictures 
in  those  attractive  ads  made  the  en- 
tire operation  appear  very  simple, 
but  it  wasn't.

The  acid  test  came  on  the  after- 
noon you  took  your  best  girl  out  for 
a  ride.  Of  course,  she  was  wearing 
her  new  hat.  You  jumped  out  of  the 
car  and  put  into  operation  all  you 
had  learned  from  the  "simple  direc- 
tions" that  accompanied  the  one- 
man  top.  Somehow  the  newfangled 
thing  stuck  while  it  was  being  pulled 
up  and  forward.  Your  girl  looked  on 
with  apprehension.  Her  hat  was  get- 
ting wet.  You  tugged  desperately. 
Finally  something  loosened  or  gave 
way  and  the  top  bounced  forward 
and  bumped  unceremoniously  onto 
the  new  hat.  You,  of  course,  dashed 
frantically  over  and  puUed  up  the 
top.  Finally,  the  thing  was  in  place. 
But  this  was  only  the  beginning. 
Unlike  modem  convertibles,  whose 
windows  can  be  elevated  into  place 
by  the  flick  of  a  switch,  the  old  time 
automobile  had  only  side  curtains. 
These  items  of  necessary  nuisance 
were  made  of  stiff  cloth  with  win- 
dows of  isinglass  that  invariably 
cracked  or  broke  into  pieces. 

Side  curtains  were  kept  in  the 
trunk.  When  they  were  taken  out  it 
was  necessary  to  determine  which 
side  of  the  car  they  belonged  to. 
They  were  attached  by  means  of  fas- 
teners which  extended  through  eye- 
lets in  the  curtains. 

If  it  were  still  raining  of  course 
you  were  thoroughly  drenched  by 
the  time  all  the  side  curtains  were  in 
place.  If  you  are  thinking  of  the  days 
before  selfstarters,  you  adjusted  the 
gas  and  spark  levers  and  gave  the 
car  a  thorough  cranking  before  it 
started  to  cough.  Then  you  crept  be- 
hind the  wheel,  glancing  furtively  at 
your  girl  to  determine  the  tempera- 
ture of  her  disposition. 

In  the  early  years  there  were  no 
windshield  wipers.  As  cars  were  mo- 
dernized they  came  equipped  with  a 
wiper  that  was  operated  by  hand. 
Yes,    these   were   the    "good   old 

days!"

A  revival  was  raging  in  a  Virginia

This  is  not  a  financial  advisers 
column,  but  nevertheless,  unsolicited 
and  free  of  charge,  I  offer  the  follow- 
ing suggestion:  Never  buy  stock  in  a 
small  corporation  unless  (1)  you 
acquire  ownership  of  50%  or  more 
of  the  stock,  or  (2)  you  have  an 
agreement  whereby  the  other  stock- 
holders must  buy  your  stock  at  a 
predetermined  figure  or  at  a  price 
that  can  be  arrived  at  by  a  predeter- 
mined formula  or  method. 

By  owning  more  than  50%  of  the 
stock  you  have  no  worries  as  you 
control  the  policy  and  operations  of 
the  corporation.  If  you  own  50%  of 
the  stock  you  can  force  a  dissolution 
of  the  company  and  recover  one-half 
of  the  net  assets.  By  requiring  the 
other  stockholders  to  purchase  your 
stock,  you  are,  of  course,  protected. 

What  happens  if  you  are  a  minority 
stockholder  in  a  small  corporation 
without  any  such  protection?  I  had 
a  client  in  just  such  a  predicament. 
She  and  her  husband  were  divorced 
and  in  the  property  settlement  agree- 
ment she  acquired  all  stocked  owned 
by  them  in  the  small  corporation 
where  he  worked.  Virtually  all  of  the 
stock  of  the  company  was  owned  by 
another  family  whose  members  ab- 
sorbed the  corporate  profits  by  taking 
big  salaries  for  themselves.  As  a  re- 
sult, the  company  never  had  any  pro- 
fits to  distribute  to  stockholders. 

This  lady  asked  me  what  to  do. 
Knowing  that  the  president  of  the 
corporation  was  very  proud  of  his 
firm,  I  wrote  him  a  letter  stating  that 
I  was  inserting  a  quarter-page  ad  in 
the  local  newspaper  offering  my 
client's  stock  for  sale  and  stating 
that  her  reason  for  selling  was  be- 
cause the  company  never  earned  any 
profits.  He  was  greatly  alarmed  at 
the  thought  of  unfavorable  publicity

Mission  Soledad  Restoration 


ONDERFUL  and  interesting 
i^'^  progress  has  been  made  at 
the  Soledad  Mission  since  the  Fiesta 
held  last  October,  at  which  time  the 
excavation  program  was  initiated. 
Grand  President  Edna  C.  WiUiams 
has  been  a  frequent  visitor  to  the  site 
and  her  messages  to  the  Parlors  have 
always  included  a  glowing  report  of 
the  latest  excavation  achievement.  I 
have  made  a  number  of  trips  to  the 
mission  with  members  of  our  State 
Committee  and  we  have  visited  with 
Father  Amancio  Rodriguez  and  Mr. 
Oliver  Pesch,  the  contractor. 

It  is  a  rewarding  sight  to  be  able 
to  view  first-hand  the  footings  and 
foundations  of  the  rooms  forming 
the  quadrangle  and  to  realize  that 
here  indeed  is  the  complete  outline 
of  what  was  once  a  productive  and 
protective  mission,  ministering  to  the 
needs  and  wants  of  the  Indian  popu- 
lation and  all  who  sought  its  shelter. 
If  any  member  is  within  travel  dis- 
tance, I  would  strongly  urge  a  visit  to 
the  mission  site  at  this  time.  Now  that 
the  floor  areas  have  been  identified 
it  is  truly  amazing  to  find  such  a 
goodly  portion  of  the  orignial  walls 
still  standing,  and  substantiates  the 
facts  that  here  was  estabhshed  an  im- 
portant link  in  the  chain  of  our  Cali- 
fornia Missions. 


Opening  the  grave  of  Gov.  Jose  Joaquin 
de  Arrillaga. 


i  The  present  excavation  has  been 
I  accomplished  entirely  through  funds 
i  raised  by  the  Soledad  Fiesta  Commit- 
1  tee.  The  outline  of  the  original  church 
I  (built  in  1808)  has  been  determined

A 


and    the

graves 'ot   Governor   Jose 


de  Arrillaga  and  Father 
Florencio  Ibanez  verified.  The  origi- 
nal floor  tiles  were  found  almost  in- 
tact as  were  the  floor  tiles  in  several 
rooms  designated  as  the  priest's  quar- 
ters. This  original  church  was  twice 
destroyed  by  floods  and  then  aban- 
doned for  the  smaller  chapel  on  the 
west  side  of  the  mission  (built  in 
1832  by  Father  Vicente  Francisco  de 
Sarria).  This  latter  is  the  chapel  re- 
stored by  the  Native  Daughters  of 
the  Golden  West  on  the  recommend- 
ation of  the  Advisory  Committee  and 
under  the  direction  of  His  Excellency, 
Aloysius  J.  Willinger,  Bishop  of  the 
Monterey-Fresno  Diocese. 

Two  mill  stones  of  granite,  brought 
in  either  from  Mexico  or  Spain,  were 
uncovered,  and  later  the  mill  base 
was  located  during  excavation  of  the 
north  wall  of  the  quadrangle.  Even 
the  stone  blocks  circling  the  grist 
mill  were  found  intact,  indicating  that 
burros  were  used  to  operate  the  mill 
in  grinding  the  flour  and  com. 

Some  300  persons  gathered  at  the 
mission  on  January  5,  1961  to  wit- 
ness the  opening  of  the  two  graves,  a 
long  anticipated  event.  A  redwood 
coffin  containing  a  crucifix  and  bone 
fragments  were  identified  as  the  lost 
grave  of  Governor  Arrillaga  who  was 
buried  in  the  robes  of  the  Francis- 
can Order  beneath  the  center  aisle 
of  the  original  church  in  1814.  The 
grave  was  located  exactly  as  indicated 
in  old  mission  records.  The  discovery 
has  historical  significance  because 
only  two  other  missions  have  the  dis- 
tinction of  having  a  former  early  Cal- 
ifornia Governor  buried  within  their 
walls.  Governor  Jose  Romeu  at  Mis- 
sion Carmel  and  Governor  Jose 
Figueroa  at  Mission  Santa  Barbara. 
Records  disclose  that  Governor  Arril- 
laga's  funeral  was  the  largest 
ever  held  in  the  State  to  that 
time.  Full  military  honors  were  ac- 
corded by  the  soldiers  from  the  Pre- 
sidio of  Monterey  and  a  chorus  of 
400  Indian  Neophytes  sang  contin- 
uously during  the  services.  Over  200 
Spanish  famihes  were  in  attendance.

Another  important  disclosure  was 
the  locating  of  the  grave  of  Father 
Florencio  Ibanez  whose  burial  took 
place  November  27,  1818.  The  grave 
was  located  beneath  the  sanctuary 
area,  as  indicated  in  the  records  "next 
to  the  altar  steps  on  the  Gospel  side." 
Assigned  to  the  mission  in  1803, 
Fr.  Ibanez'  stay  was  one  of  the 
longest  in  the  mission's  history  under 
Franciscan  padres.  He  was  known  for 
his  musical  abilities  and  natural  kind- 
ness in  working  among  the  neophytes. 
His  age  was  indicated  as  76  at  the 
time  of  his  death.  The  great  friend- 
ship that  existed  between  Governor 
Arrillaga  and  Father  Ibanez  is  re- 
corded in  history. 

Many  photographers  and  news- 
men had  been  alerted  and  the  school 
children  in  the  area  were  permitted 
a  holiday  to  attend  this  important 
function.  Officials  of  Monterey  Coun- 
ty and  the  Clergy  were  in  attendance, 
as  was  our  Grand  President  Edna  C. 
Williams,  a  number  of  our  State 
Committee  and  many  other  Native 
Daughter  members.  Some  of  the 
action  that  took  place  during  this 
historic  finding  was  shown  on  TV 
news  the  next  day. 

We  salute  Father  Amancio  Rod- 
riguez for  his  untiring  efforts  and 
wonderful  cooperation  in  furthering 
the  cause  of  Mission  Nuestra  Senora 
de  la  Soledad,  and  in  his  selection  of

fHis  MORNING,  May  29,  1951, 
as  usual,  at  nine  a.m.,  I  drove 
my  husband  to  his  court.  Municipal 
Number  Five,  down  by  the  Coronado 
Ferry  shp,  where  anyone  going  across 
the  bay  must  pass.  The  building  is 
attractive  yellow  stucco,  with  a  very 
green  lawn  well  taken  care  of  by 
trusties  on  good  behavior.  And  from 
aU  reports,  even  in  the  Press,  the  best 
Judge  Municipal  Number  Five  ever 
had,  is  the  one  I  leave  there  every 
morning,  which  makes  me  historical- 
ly content.  Because,  I,  in  my  gener- 
ation have  done  my  part  in  contri- 
buting to  the  betterment  of  San  Diego, 
by  bringing  an  Easterner  here  and 
having  him  help  in  building  up,  for 
the  good  of  our  people  in  San  Diego. 
From  the  Court,  I  drove  North, 
cross  town  and  up  to  the  old  Catholic 
Cemetery  "Calvary",  as  I  wished  a 
refresher  of  one  old  tombstone,  very 
dear  to  me.  It  is  a  beautiful  white 
marble  cross  eight  feet  high,  with  the 
dates  of  birth  and  death  of  my  grand- 
parents, Cave  Johnson  Couts  and  his 
wife,  Ysidora  Bandini  Couts.  Here, 
the  dates  are  in  full. 


Cave  Johnson  Couts 

BORN 

Springfield,  Tenn.,  Nov.  11,  1821 

DIED 

San  Diego,  Calif.,  June  10,  1874 


Ysidora  Bandini  Couts 

born 
San  Diego,  Calif.,  Sept.  23,  1829 


died 
Los  Angeles,  Calif. 


Before  turning  off  the  street  and 
into  the  schoolyard  near  the  ceme- 
tery, I  heard  children  singing  our 
National  Anthem.  Leaving  my  car 
in  the  yard,  I  went  through  the  gate 
in  the  high  wall  that  fences  one  side 
of  the  old  grave  yard.  A  very  beauti- 
ful and  heart-warming  scene  met  my 
eyes.  Here,  on  this  hallowed  ground, 
with  their  teachers,  were  the  grammar 
grade    pupils    of   the    Grant   Public 

PAGE  4 


School  (this  school  is  right  up  against 
one  side  of  the  Old  Cemetery.  Its 
play-yard  on  another,  forming  an  L. ) 
and  they  had  been  taught  to  honor 
and  respect  the  dead.  Something  one 
sees  very  seldom  now.  In  fact,  this  is 
the  first  time  I  personally  have  seen  it 
in  years.  Here,  where  California  be- 
gan and  in  fact  these  United  States, 
long  before  the  Jamestown  settle- 
ment or  the  Pilgrims  settled  at  Ply- 
mouth Rock,  for  here  Cabrillo  dis- 
covered our  beautiful  harbor  in  1542. 


Burial  lot  and  carara  tombstone  of  my 
grandparents. 


What  a  wonderful  feeling  of  peace 
and  contentment  to  enter  here  and 
see  all  these  children,  a  complete 
school  trained  to  respect  those  who 
lay  sleeping  in  "God's  Vineyard." 
This  spot  has  one  of  the  most  beauti- 
ful views,  as  it  is  on  the  top  of  a  can- 
yon that  looks  down  toward  the  bay, 
over  North  Island  toward  Point 
Loma  and  the  mighty  Pacific  Ocean. 

A  very  wonderful  woman,  Mrs. 
Irma  Doughty,  their  Principal  has 
shown  them  life's  greatest  lesson  • — 
Respect  for  the  Dead.  Those  young- 
sters have  been  taught  to  clean  up 
the  mess  of  papers  and  weeds;  to 
straighten  up  knocked  over  tomb- 
stones and  set  all  in  order  the  day  be- 
fore. Then,  on  the  Eve  of  Memorial 


Arcadia  Bandini  Brennan 


Day,  here  they  were,  the  Honor 
Guard,  the  Color  bearer  and  all, 
standing  amid  the  many  cans,  filled 
with  flowers,  which  these  young  ones 
placed  on  each  grave. 

After  the  songs  were  finished,  and 
the  younger  grades  had  left  the 
grounds  for  their  classes,  the  olden 
ones  regrouped  and  marched  out.  As 
for  me,  I  went  over  to  meet  this- 
charming  white-haired  lady,  to  thanks 
her  for  what  she  had  done,  as  I  wasF 
so  filled  with  admiration  for  what  1 1 
had  seen,  also,  my  own  forebears 
were  among  those  honored  there. 

I  told  Mrs.  Doughty  that  I  felt 
that  this  school  group  should  be  told, , 
how,  they  unknowingly  had  decorated ' 
the  grave  of  Ysidora  Bandini  Couts, 
who,  with  two  of  her  sisters  had  made 
the  American  Flag  for  Commodore 
Stockton,  to  be  raised  over  Old  Town 
in  1846.

Generations 
Of 
Catifornians 


By 
Verna  Preston  Lawrence 


©NE  HUNDRED  YEARS  agO,  my 
great  grandfather  Leander 
A.  Preston  packed  up  his  young  wife, 
Mary  Camer  Preston,  and  their  four 
weeks  old  daughter  Ella  and  started 
for  California.  They  left  Strawberry 
Point,  Iowa,  on  May  15,  1860  trav- 
eling in  covered  wagons  drawn  by 
oxen.  They  were  with  Mary's  family, 
the  Garners. 

Great  grandfather  was  twenty-two 
a  that  time,  and  having  been  a  teach- 
er felt  it  would  benefit  those  who 
wished  to  follow  them  west,  if  \vz 
kept  a  record  of  their  trip.  This  he 
did,  sending  a  few  pages  at  a  time 
with  his  letters,  thus  only  a  few  pages 
were  in  his  p  o  s  s  e  s  s  i  o  n  and  were 
handed  down  in  our  family.  The  daily 
notes  were  more  or  less  a  guide.  He 
described  water  conditions,  campsites, 
grazing  and  the  general  description 
of  the  land  they  passed  through. 
Here  is  a  guide  to  the  speed  with 
which  they  travelled:  Strawberry 
Point  to  Independence,  35  miles, 
2  days;  Independence  to  Vinton,  25 
miles,  2  days;  Vinton  to  Rosta,  26 
miles,  2  days;  Rosta  to  Rock  Creek, 
33  miles,  2  days.  They  reached 
Council  Bluffs,  Iowa,  Saturday,  June 
2  —  317  miles  in  21/i  weeks. 

Most  camps  were  on  creeks  or 
rivers  when  possible.  Later  they 
came  to  open  prairie.  They  reached 
Gamp  Floyd,  Utah  (near  Salt  Lake 
City)  after  many  delays  and  slow 
travel.  The  Commander,  Col.  G.  F. 
Smith,  refused  to  allow  them  to  pro- 
ceed as  the  Ute  Indians  were  hostile. 
They  were  assigned  rations  and 
quarters  for  the  winter.  The  wonmen 
helped  with  the  sewing  and  cooking; 
the  men  with  hunting  and  wood-gath- 
ering. Here  are  some  of  his  notes : 

"April  29,  1861,  we  headed  to- 
ward Carson  City.  Camping  on  the 
plains,  found  grass  and  water  plenti- 

)       MARCH,     1961 


ful,  sage  was  our  fuel.  (This  type  of 
information  was  especially  important 
to  those  who  helped  to  follow.) 
Water  grew  scarce,  and  was  otfen 
brine,  yet  abounded  in  fish.  River 
crossings  always  took  a  lot  of  time. 

"May  6  we  were  joined  by  a  small 
train  of  seceding  Mormons  who  had 
had  enough  of  paradise  in  Utah. 
They  were  escorted  by  20  U.  S. 
troops  detailed  from  Go.  E  and  I, 
10th  Infantry,  under  command  of 
Lt.  Murray. 

"19  miles  from  Willow  Springs  — 
May  8  —  four  go-shoot  Indians 
followed  us  and  came  into  camp. 
Mike  Holten,  an  old  express  rider, 
could  speak  their  language  and  en- 
gaged them  to  herd  he  cattle  for  their 
supper.  He  kept  their  guns,  bows  and 
arrows  in  camp.  Their  part  was  faith- 
fully performed.  After  bringmg  in 
the  cattle  they  proceded  to  eat  a 
"little"  supper,  the  amount  would 
have  filled  a  small  wagon  box. 


Standing  from  left:  Delbert  E.  Preston,  59, 
and  James  A.  Lawrence,  22,  Seated  from 
left:  Everett  A.  Preston  91,  Vema  Pres- 
ton Lawrence,  39  and  Roxanne  Y. 
Lawrence,    2. 


"May  1 1  we  camped  2Vi  miles 
miles  from  where  the  stock  was  herd- 
ed. More  Indians  came  wanting  jobs, 
getting  wood  or  herding  cattle.  We 
watched  the  cattle,  I  was  on  guard  of 
six,  but  we  let  the  Indians  care  for 
the    Cattle." 

Stretches  of  rocky  trails  were  hard 


on  the  cattle's  feet,  other  steep 
mountains  made  it  necessary  to 
double  the  teams. 

"May  22  —  laid  by  at  Willow 
Greek  on  account  of  sickness  in  Hi- 
ram Garner's  family.  They  numbered 
one  more  when  we  left  next  day." 
(This  is  the  sole  lecord  of  the  birth 
of  my  grandfather's  cousin  Ghas.  A. 
Garner,  and  this  record  made  him 
eligible  to  be  a  covered  wagon  baby. 
He  borrowed  the  notes  from  my 
grandfather  and  as  a  result  a  small 
booklet  was  filed  in  the  State  Library 
at  Sacramento.  I  used  a  copy  I  had 
photostated  for  the  information  in 
this    article. ) 

"May  29  a  cow  belonging  to  Capt. 
Ward  started  to  backtrack.  Ward 
started  after  her  and  did  not  get 
back  till  noon  of  30th." 

I  regret  that  there  are  just  a  few 
of  the  notes  and  some  pencil  sketches 
of  scenes  along  the  way.  It  was  his- 
tory in  the  making. 

The  family  arrived  at  Meridian, 
Sutter  County,  July  16,  1861,  four- 
teen months  and  one  day  had  elapsed. 
Three  years  later  they  moved  to  Pot- 
ter Valley  where  my  grandfather, 
Everett  A.  Preston,  was  bom.  In 
November  of  1893  they  again  moved, 
this  time  to  Garden  Grove.  My  father, 
Delbert  E.  Preston,  was  bom  there 
in  1901.  I  was  bom  there  in  1921. 

My  son,  James  A.  Lawrence,  was 
born  in  Fullerton  in  1939,  the  third 
generation  in  Orange  County.  He 
was  born  on  his  great-great-grand- 
father Leander's  birthday,  101  years 
later.  His  daughter,  Roxanne  Violet, 
was  born  in  Hermosa  Beach  in  1958. 
She  completed  five  generations,  all 
hving,  born  in  California.  At  present, 
Everett  A.  Preston,  age  91,  retired, 
lives  in  Downey;  Delbert  E.  Preston, 
59,  a  realtor,  is  in  Mill  Valley;  James 
A.  Lawrence,  22,  an  Electronic  Tech- 
nician, USN,  is  in  Imperial  Beach; 
his  daughter  is  Roxanne  V.  Law- 
rence, age  2,  and  I,  Vema  Preston 
Lawrence  (Mrs.  J.  C.)  39,  am  a 
Service  Representative  for  Pacific 
Telephone  Co.,  Hermosa  Beach. 

I  find  this  anniversary  of  my  fam- 
ily's coming  to  Califomia  especially 
appropriate  this  year  as  I  am  presi- 
den  of  Tierra  Del  Rey  Parlor  No. 
300,  Native  Daughters  of  he  Golden 
West,  Hermosa  Beach. 


One  hopeful  note  on  hidden  taxes  is 
that  there  can't  be  many  more  places  left 
to  hide  them.

The  month  of  February,  a  month 
important  to  us,  both  as  Americans 
and  Califomians  was  one  filled  with 
visits  mostly  in  the  Northern  areas 
of  the  State. 

What  a  pleasure  it  is  to  travel 
over  the  highways  of  California  and 
see  the  beautiful  green  of  the  hill- 
sides, dotted  here  and  there  with  the 
bright  color  of  our  spring  flowers! 
We  think  of  vacation  time,  of  the 
many  visitors  that  wiU  come  to  our 
State,  we  remind  ourselves  not  to  be 
litterbugs,  to  be  careful  with  matches, 
and  to  "Keep  California  Green  and 
Beautiful." 

Many  new  members  have  been  re- 
ceived on  the  occasions  of  my 
Official  Visits  and  it  has  been  a  pleas- 
ure to  welcome  them  into  our  Order. 
I  am  sure  there  are  many  native  Cal- 
ifomians who  are  eUgible  for  mem- 
bership in  our'Order  who  have  never 
had  the  privilege  of  being  asked  to 
join  us.  In  the  next  few  months  I  hope 
each  of  you  will  make  an  effort  to 
bring  in  new  members  that  we  may 
close  the  current  year  with  a  gain 
rather  than  a  loss  in  membership. 

I  have  been  very  pleased  with  the 
reports  submitted  by  the  Parlors  on 
the  occasion  of  my  Offiicial  Visits. 
The  Parlors  show  great  interest  in 
the  Projects  of  our  Order,  yet  each 
Parlor  has  many  activities  outside  of 
the  Order.  Parlors  have  given  many 
hours  of  service  in  their  community 
by  working  on  various  fund  raising 
drives;  many  spend  a  great  deal  of 
time  working  in  Veterans  Hospitals; 
others  honor  the  Pioneers  in  their 
respective  communities  with  a  lunch- 
eon, tea  or  pinic.  Needy  families

OFFICIAL  VISIT 

Something  different  is  planned  by 
Columbia  Parlor  No.  70  when  Grand 
President  Edna  C.  Williams  comes  to 
French  Corral  on  April  7  for  her 
official  visit.  Since  there  is  not  a  real 
candidate,  it  is  planned  to  put  on  the 
ceremony  of  initiation  by  the  old 
original  ritual,  a  single  copy  of  which 
is  a  prized  possession  of  Columbia 
Parlor.  Columbia  Parlor  is  very  limit- 
ed in  membership,  so  the  neighboring 
Parlors  of  Laurel  No.  6,  of  Nevada 
City,  and  Manzinita  No.  29  of  Grass 
Valley  are  helping  out  and  taking 
some  of  the  chairs  for  this  important 
occasion. 

A  luncheon  preceding  the  meeting 
will  be  served  at  noon  in  the  old 
schoolhouse  in  French  Corral,  now 
the  community  meeting  hall.  This 
will  cost  the  nominal  sum  of  75  cents 
per  person  with  the  exception  of  the 
honored  guest,  Edna  C.  Williams, 
and  her  companion  if  any.  Following 
the  luncheon,  members  will  go  to  the 
meeting  hall  for  the  afternoon  meet- 
ing. It  is  hoped  that  a  goodly  number 
of  our  sisters  will  be  on  hand  for  this 
affair.  Arrangements  are  being  made 
for  pictures  to  be  taken  by  local 
photographers  and  prints  may  be 
arranged  to  be  purchased  if  any  of 
the  members  should  desire  them.

Such  a  plan  does  not  always  work. 
Another  of  my  clients  became  em- 
broiled in  a  bitter  argument  with  a 
small,  locally  owned  bank  and  de- 
cided to  sell  his  stock  in  the  concern. 
He  could  find  no  buyer.  He  placed  an 
ad  in  a  newspaper  offering  to  sell  his 
bank  stock  and  stating  that  he  would 
take  fertilizer  in  payment.  He  re- 
ceived no  response  except  a  telephone 
call  from  a  man  who  offered  him  a 
fishing  pole  and  wheelbarrow.

Latest  bureaucat  story  making  the 
rounds  in  Washington  concerns  an  effi- 
ciency expert  who  walked  up  to  two  clerks. 
He  asked  the  first  clerk,  "What  do  you  do 
here?" 

The  clerk,  fed  up  with  red  tape,  buck- 
passing,  forms,  office  politics,  and,  above 
all,  efficiency  experts,  answered:  "I  don't 
do  a  thing!" 

The  efficiency  expert  nodded,  made  a 
note,  then  asked  the  second  clerk,  "And 
you.  what's  your  job  here?" 

The  second  clerk,  a  fellow  sufferer, 
said,  "I  don't  do  a  thing  either." 

The  efficiency  experts  ears  perked  up. 
"Hmmm,"  he  said,  "duplication!"

Parlor.  Mr.  Belloli,  an  art  designer  in 
one  of  the  large  stores  of  San  Fran-

gown.  One  of  the  wedding  party  was 
Maurine  Leal,  President  of  the  Junior 
group  and  daughter  of  Ann  Weiss,  a 
past  president  of  Vendome.  The  wed- 
ding was  a  lovely  affair  enjoyed  by 
350  guests,  including  members  of  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West. 
Earlier,  one  of  the  many  showers

No.  100  has  conducted  interesting 
meetings  with  many  new  plans  dur- 
ing the  past  two  months.  At  the  holi-

committee  stuffed  Christmas  stock-

also  necessary  articles  for  children. 
The  annual  bazaar  was  a  success 
with  ample  proceeds.

sented to  St.  Ehzabeth's  Day  Home 
for  Children  was  brought  to  the  Par- 
lor by  3rd  Vice  President  Josephine 
Druzanivich.  When  the  flags  were 
given.  Past  President  Amalia  Vella 
made  the  presentation  speech.  The 
Parlor  also  plans  to  present  a  Bear 
Flag  to  the  San  Jose  U.  S.  O.  House. 
The  Grand  President  will  visit  San 
Jose  No.  81,  Los  Gatos  No.  317,  and 
Vendome  No.  100  in  May.  Arrange- 
ments are  already  being  made  in 
preparation  for  this  official  visit.

he  relaxes  in  the  patio  in  Bermuda  shorts 
he  is  participating  in  gracious  living.

PARLOR  FOUNDER 

Anna  Irene  Dempsey,  the  founder 
of  Los  Angeles  No.  124,  was  born  on 
December  18,  1872  in  Stockton  of 
Irish  parentage.  Following  her  college 
course  she  worked  on  a  San  Francis- 
co newspaper.  The  family  moved  to 
Los  Angeles  in  1894.  In  1895  Anna 
went  to  work  for  A.  Hamburger  and 
Sons  (now  May  Co.)  when  the  store 
was  on  2nd  and  Spring  Streets.  She 
was  with  the  company  47  years.  She 
held  various  positions.  She  was  edit- 
or of  the  May  Co.  News.  She  was  the 
originator  of  the  personal  shopping 
service  idea  in  the  West.  In  May  Co. 
it  was  called  the  "Dorothy  Danvers 
Personal  Shopping  Service  Depart- 
ment." 

She  trained  girls  for  service  in  the 
store.  She  was  always  quite  formal, 
very  dignified  and  very  strict  in  bus- 
iness dealings  but  very  kind  and 
gentle  whenever  anyone  needed  help. 

Her  work  in  the  Native  Daughters 
of  the  Golden  West  was  outstanding 
and  will  long  be   remembered   and 

appreciated  by  all  who  knew  her,

police  facility  and  presenting  a

ing, located  in  the  300  block  of  East 
Figueroa  embodies  the  very  latest  in 
modem  improvements  and  is  being 
used  as  a  model  for  other  contem-

nation.  Participating  in  the  dedication 
ceremony  were  President  Betty  Clark,

the  present  superintendent.  Mr. 
Pesch,  a  former  Navy  Chief  Petty 
Officer  and  retired  Mojave  contract- 
or, has  done  a  tremendous  job  to  date 
at  the  mission  site.  Every  available 
means  has  been  used  to  determine 
historical  facts  and  adhere  to  the 
original  lines  of  the  building.  The 
next  two  months  will  be  given  to 
preparation  of  drawings  and  plans, 
which  will  then  be  reviewed  and  ap- 
proved. Very  soon  now  the  next  step 
in  the  restoration  program  by  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West 
will  become  a  realization.  This  will 
comprise  the  Sallie  R.  Thaler  Mem- 
orial and  two  adjacent  rooms,  nuc- 
leus for  museum  quarters  at  the  mis- 
sion. 

On  February  19,  the  local  Lions 
held  a  tree  planting  as  a  contribution 
to  the  landscaping.  A  selection  of 
some  43  trees  were  planted  in  the 
mission  orchard.  Slowly  but  surely 
the  future  of  Mission  Soledad  is  be- 
ing assured.  While  much  still  re- 
mains to  be  done,  it  is  gratifying  be- 
yond measure  to  be  able  to  share  with 
you  these  recent  developments. 
Please  pass  the  news  along  to  others. 

This  is  history  in  the  re-making.

THE  PtONEER  ROSTER 

By  Mary  M.  Ehlers 
State  Chairman 

lONEERS,    THOSE    BUILDERS    of 

our  wonderful  State!  In  the 
year  1936  a  resolution  was  placed 
before  Grand  Parlor,  Native  Daugh- 
ters of  the  Golden  West,  to  estabhsh 
the  Pioneer  Roster.  This  project  be- 
came the  chief  objective  to  register 
any  man,  woman  and  child  who  came! 
to  California  or  was  a  native  bom  up' 
to  and  including  the  year  1869.  Credh 
goes  to  P.G.P.  Florence  D.  Boyle 
who  in  that  year  was  Grand  Presi- 
dent and  the  instigator  of  this  pro- 
ject. She  served  as  State  Chairman  of 
this  committee  untU  1959  and  did  a 
tremendous  job. 

We  are  proud  and  fully  aware  oi, 
the  progress  that  was  shown  by  the' 
Parlors  and  members  to  secure  names 
for  our  Great  Roster.  To  date  there 
are  over  28,000  registered  Pioneers 
in  beautiful  leather  bound  books 
that  are  permanent  records  at  the 
Grand  Parlor  office  in  San  Francisco,  | 
Many  hours  of  research  were  spent  j 
to  secure  these  names,  some  were] 
registered  in  old  church  records,! 
cemetery  records,  school  records  and! 
county  records,  also  decendants  ol 
Pioneers  have  been  most  helpful. 
Then  there  were  many  who  could  nol 
be  registered  due  to  old  records  thai 
were  destroyed  and  others  not  re-i 
corded. 

It  is  very  interesting  to  learn  oi 
the  routes  traveled  by  the  Pioneers 
before  entering  California.  Some; 
came  by  the  Isthmus  of  Panama,  the^ 
Oregon  trail,  overland  routes  b>' 
wagons  and  ox  team  and  many  trav-' 
eled  by  boat  from  their  foreign  land 
to  find  happiness  in  the  Golden  West. 

Among  them  were  prominent  citi- 
zens who  held  offices  such  as  judges, 
attorneys,  and  legislators,  bankers, 
ministers,  school  teachers,  count> 
clerks,  county  auditors,  superinten-j 
dants  of  schools,  storekeepers,  saloor ' 
keepers  and  ranchers.  Most  of  the 
women  were  housewives  and  stayec 
at  home  to  care  for  their  families. 

The  subordinate  Parlors  of  the. 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  Wesi 
are  still  interested  in  registering  Pio- 
neers. Several  hold  annual  teas  foi, 
the  old  timers  and  remember  then:! 
with  cards  for  birthdays  and  otheij 
occasions.  Other  Parlors  secured  reg- 

CALIFORNIA  HERALC 


istrations  through  publication  in 
their  local  newspapers.  This  was 
found  to  be  very  helpful.  Registra- 
tion blanks  can  be  had  by  writing 
Mary  M.  Ehlers,  545  -  36th  St.,  Sac- 
ramento or  contacting  the  Pioneer 
Roster  committee  in  your  area.  We 
are  most  grateful  to  assist  you  at 
any  time.  The  registration  blanks  are 
to  be  returned  to  me  upon  completion 
as  it  entails  other  work  before  they 
are  placed  permanendy  on  the  Great 
Roster.  There  are  registered  Pioneers 
who  are  still  living  and  several  are 
members  of  the  Order  of  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West. 

Every  Pioneer  should  be  registered 
and  their  names  preserved  as  they 
helped  to  build  the  foundation  of  the 
State  of  California.

SPECIAL  COLLFCTIONS 

SunrUe  Service 


,^JiFTY-TWO  years  ago  the  first  out- 
J^  door  Easter  sunrise  service  was 
held  in  the  United  States.  On  April 
11,  1909,  Frank  A.  Miller,  founder 
of  the  Riverside  Mission  Inn,  led  a 
group  of  about  one  hundred  persons 
to  the  foot  of  the  Serra  Cross  on  Mt. 
Rubidoux.  It  was  dark  and  chilly  as 
the  pilgrims  commenced  their  ascent 
to  the  tiny,  boulder-strewn  peak. 

As  the  first  rays  of  the  morning 
sun  pierced  the  eastern  horizon  the 
clear  tones  of  a  trumpet  called  the 
assemblage  to  worship.  Joyous  Eas- 
ter hymns  were  sung  to  the  accom- 
paniment of  a  portable  organ.  A 
prayer  was  uttered  and  the  service 
ended. 

The  worshippers  left  Mt.  Rubi- 
doux with  a  sense  of  spiritual  exhil- 
aration. Probably  none  of  them  real- 
ized that  they  had  participated  in 
an  event  that  would  become  a  great 
annual  affair  and  would  serve  as  the 
inspiration  for  similar  services 
throughout  the  nation. 

Three  years  later  over  three  thou- 
sand people  attended  Easter  service 
on  Mt.  Rubidoux  when  Dr.  Henry 
Van  Dyke  read  his  famous  poem, 
"God  of  the  Open  Air,"  which  has 
since  become  a  part  of  each  year's 
program.  For  the  occasion  he  added 
these  lines: 
"And   then    on   Eastern   Morn,    His 

victory  won, 
Breaking     the     mortal     bars     that 

sealed  the  tomb 
In  a  fair  garden  filled  with  flowers 

abloom, 
The  risen  Jesus  met  the  rising  sun." 

The  outdoor  Easter  sunrise  ser- 
vice, so  modestly  begun,  can  be  at- 
tributed to  two  men,  Frank  A.  Miller, 
"Master  of  the  Inn,"  and  Jacob  Riis 
champion  of  the  small  parks  and 
playground  movement  and  sponsor 
of  better  housing  for  the  poor.  Riis 
resided  in  New  York,  but  spent 
many  vacations  at  the  Mission  Inn 
where  he  became  the  firm  friend  of 
Miller. 

In  1906,  Miller,  with  the  assist- 
ance of  Henry  E.  Huntington  and 
Charles  M.  Loring,  formed  an  asso- 
ciation for  the  purpose  of  acquiring 
Mt.  Rubidoux  as  a  park  for  River-

5|p  HE  Sallie  Rutherford  Thaler 
;ii>  Memorial  Fountain  was  dedi- 
cated in  Lakeside  Park,  Oakland,  on 
March  5.  Appropriately,  the  day  of 
dedication  was  also  the  day  of  the  an- 
nual Childrens  Foundation  Break- 
fast, a  part  of  a  series  which  Mrs. 
Thaler  helped  to  initiate.  The  date 
had  further  significance  in  that  it  was 
the  Sunday  nearest  the  anniversary  of 
her  passing.  This  Memorial  was  pre- 
sented to  the  City  of  Oakland  by 
Aloha  Parlor  No.  106,  NDGW.  The 
program,  in  charge  of  Mrs.  Arthur  L. 
Murray,  chairman  of  the  day,  was 
most  impressive. 


From  left:  Mrs.  Gladys  I.  Farley;

The  invocation  was  given  by  the 
Reverend  John  Clogher,  pastor  of 
Our  Lady  of  Lourdes  Catholic 
Church.  After  the  flag  dedication  by 
Mrs.  Harold  B.  Farley,  past  presi- 
dent of  Aloha  Parlor,  and  the  pre- 
sentation of  the  flags  by  Explorer 
Post  254  and  Girl  Scout  Troop  151, 
Mrs.  Murray  introduced  the  distin- 
;  guished  guests  from  NDGW  and 
j  NSGW  Orders.  Other  introductions

Past  Grand  Secretary  Sallie  Ruther- 
ford Thaler  by  Grand  President  Mrs. 
C.  Don  Williams,  NDGW  and  Grand 
President  Leo  Travers,  NSGW.  The 
Memorial  was  presented  by  Mrs.  C. 
G.  Page,  past  president  of  Aloha  and 
accepted  by  Mayor  Clifford  E.  Rish- 
nell.  Bass  soloist  Oliver  Jones  sang 
the  Twenty-Third  Psalm  by  Malotte, 
God's  Garden  and  Hymn  to  Cali- 
fornia. Benediction  was  pronounced 
by  the  Reverend  Robert  C.  Cling- 
man.  Rector  of  St.  Paul's  Episcopal 
Church.

All  who  knew  Sallie  Rutherford 
Thaler  were  aware  of  her  untiring 
service  to  her  fellow  men,  her  loyal 
support  of  civic  projects,  her  love  of 
nature  and  her  understanding  and 
kindness  to  all.  Mrs.  Thaler  had  a 
special  affection  for  Lakeside  Park 
which  was  near  her  home,  and  there- 
fore the  selection  of  this  site  for  her 
Memorial  was  especially  appropriate. 

The  fountain,  designed  by  Oak- 
land architect  Irwin  Luckman,  con- 
sists of  a  three  pool,  multi-level 
fountain  with  connecting  fiberglas 
spillways,  integrated  into  a  gracefully 
angled  brick  wail  on  the  grassy  slope 
directly  across  the  park's  main  road- 
way from  the  duck  feeding  area.  A 
25-foot  flagpole  towering  from  the 
rear  of  the  structure  gives  accent  to 
the  principal  lines  of  its  design. 

The  plaque  reads:

Pioneer  Hall,  Jackson,  Calijorna,  where  Ursula  Parlor 
No.  1,  NDGW  was  organized  on  September  25,  1886. 


(As  we  resume  our  review  of  the  activities  of  Grand  Parlor 
during  its  formative  years,  attention  is  again  directed  to  the  fact 
that  this  outline  is  concerned  only  with  the  projects  of  the  Order 
and  the  events  that  lead  up  to  the  participation  of  the  Order  in 
these  projects.  It  is  not  within  the  scope  of  this  brief  summary 
to  enumerate  the  many  devoted  women  whose  interests  and  ef- 
forts are  responsible  for  the  many  activities  with  which  the  Order 
has  concerned  itself.  From  time  to  time  certain  names  inay  be 
mentioned  because  they  are  so  closely  identified  with  certain  pro- 
jects;however,  there  is  no  intent  to  minimize  the  efforts  of  any 
parlor  or  individual.  It  has  been  a  revelation,  in  perusing  these 
records  as  a  whole,  to  note  the  many  years  of  service  given  by 
individuals  and  parlors,  and  to  note  their  growth  along  with  the 
projects  they  have  sponsored.  These  of  course  are  a  matter  of 
record,  and  any  one  interested  in  a  more  detailed  account  can 
find  it  either  in  her  own  parlor  records  or  in  the  Grand  Parlor 
Proceedings.) 

^'n^  e  now  enter  into  a  period  of  rapid  growth — 
the  years  from  1894  to  1900  find  many  of  the  projects 
well  established,  many  new  parlors  affiliating,  and  the 
auns  and  objects  of  the  Order  becoming  well  defined. 

Grand  Parlor  convened  in  Chico  in  1894,  with  81 
parlors  on  the  Roster. 

The  following  resolution  submitted  by  Alta  Parlor 
No.  3  is  significant:  "WHEREAS,  one  of  the  objects 
of  our  Order  is  to  inculcate  principles  of  patriotism — be 
it  RESOLVED,  that  Alta  Parlor  No.  3,  NDGW,  view 
with  satisfaction  the  spread  of  the  patriotic  ideas  ad- 
vanced in  1890-91,  and  vigorously  advocated  for  the 
past  four  years  by  our  Sister  Eliza  D.  Keith,  viz:  The 
introduction  of  patriotic  observances  into  our  public 
schools,  including  a  daily  salute  to  the  American  Flag. 
RESOLVED,  that  Alta  Parlor  respectfully  commends 
this  matter  to  the  consideration  of  the  Grand  Parlors, 
NSGW  and  NDGW,  asking  these  most  worthy  bodies 
to  take  action  to  the  effect  that  all  Subordinate  Parlors 

PAGE  4 


our  Order  shall  be  urged  to  agitate  this  subject  in 
their  respective  localities,  in  the  endeavor  to  create  a 
patriotic  sentiment  in  their  section  of  the  Golden  State, 
which  shall  bear  fruit  in  the  adoption  of  such  resolu- 
tions as  have  just  been  passed  by  the  Boards  of  Educa- 
tion of  San  Francisco,  Sacramento  and  Oakland,  mak- 
ing such  patriotic  exercises  compulsory  in  our  public 
schools,  thus  carrying  out  the  patriotic  idea  advocated 
so  earnestly  by  our  Sister  Eliza  Keith." 

Do  you  not  feel  proud  to  know  that  your  Order  led 
the  way? 

References  to  the  Board  of  Relief  occurred  in  each 
Proceedings  since  its  estabUshment,  but  since  this  is 
still  a  very  active  project,  and  a  complete  report  has  been 
prepared  by  the  Board,  no  further  mention  will  be 
made  of  it  in  these  articles. 

A  letter  expressing  the  thanks  of  the  Grand  Parlor 
to  General  Bidwell  for  his  hospitality  deserves  being 
quoted  (in  part) : 

"General  Bidwell,  Honored  Sir:  A  rising  vote  of 
thanks  from  the  Grand  Parlor,  NDGW,  to  General  and 
Mrs.  Bidwell,  for  the  cordial  reception  and  courtesies 
extended  this  body  during  its  sojourn  in  Chico,  is  but 
formal,  and  only  feebly  expresses  the  deep  feelings  of 
gratitude  and  delight,  experienced  by  so  many  California 
Native  Daughters,  to  realize  that  theirs  has  been  the 
special  privilege  of  meeting  in  his  own  beautiful  home, 
and  clasping  in  friendship's  grasp,  the  hand  of  the 
oldest  Pioneer  Hving  in  this  Golden  State  —  General 
Bidwell.  One  of  its  Pioneer  founders  who  has  bequeath- 
ed to  us  this  inestimable  birthright,  our  western  home 
and  who,  indeed,  has  taught  us  by  precept  and  example, 
that  hospitality  is  one  of  the  cardinal  virtues  ..." 

In  1895,  84  parlors  sent  delegates  to  Grass  Valle> 
The  Grand  President's  report  mentioned  "thai 
great  conflict  between  labor  and  capital — the  railroai. 
strike,  bringing  financial  trouble  to  many  of  the  home^ 
throughout  our  State,  and  the  entire  year  has  beer 
marked  by  almost  complete  stagnation  in  business  circles 
but,  as  the  darkest  hour  is  just  before  the  dawning,  lei 
us  hope  that  morning  is  near." 

A  telegram  was  received  from  the  Native  Sons  o\ 
Sacramento  requesting  the  cooperation  of  the  Natiw 
Daughters  in  the  next  Administration  Day  Celebration 

Napa  was  the  scene  of  the  1896  Grand  Parlor,  will 
89  parlors  participating.

EAUTiFUL  DAYS  BRING  SO  many 
;J^  memories  of  the  past  that  you 
are  with  me  constantly,  Tia.  And  to- 
day, a  bright  warm  August  in  1951, 
I  sit  alone  here  on  my  porch,  listening 
to  vibrations  from  our  great  planes 
as  they  circle  overhead  in  a  wonderful 
blue  sky,  saiHng  with  a  bright  silver 
gleam  like  a  large  silver-coated  cigar, 
with  wide  and  very  long  wings,  so 
extreme  in  their  slenderness,  so  pow- 
erful in  their  engines,  and  deadly 
freight  that  they  carry. 

As  their  vibrations  and  sounds 
pass  on  into  space,  all  is  quiet  from 
the  heaven.  The  small  planes  really 
are  like  hummingbirds  in  compari- 
son, and  memory  of  you  slips  into 
my  day  as  usual,  so  musing,  I  happily 
drift  back  to  just  a  beautiful  day 
long,  long  ago  in  1906. 

We  were  sitting  on  the  porch  at 
Santa  Monica,  just  after  luncheon. 
Tia  Dolores  had  came  down  to  spend 
the  day,  and  she  and  Tia  Chata  were 
on  one  side  of  the  porch  talking  and 
arguing  as  usual,  while  we  sat  on  the 
other  side,  with  the  steps  and  front 
door  separating  them  from  us,  and 
you,  Tia,  were  saying  your  Rosary 
as  you  always  did,  in  my  memory. 

Gazing  out  through  and  beneath 
the  large  eucalyptus  trees,  out  over 
the  great  Pacific  Ocean,  which  was 
glistening  in  the  mid-day  sun  so  sil- 
very blue.  Not  a  steamer  in  sight.  All 
calm  and  peaceful.  Suddenly  we  were 
watching  a  historical  event  take 
place  right  before  us  on  the  Pacific 
Ocean. 

Of  its  greatness,  neither  you,  in 
your  years,  nor  I,  in  my  youth  gave 
a  thought,  even  with  the  unrest  over 
strained  relations  causing  worries  be- 
tween the  United  States  and  Spain, 
where  one  war  had  just  been  finished 
in  Cuba,  and  still  war  talks  went  on. 

What  we  saw,  was  a  breath  taking 
sight;  a  big  display  of  our  country's 
might.  Right  before  our  eyes,  cruis- 
ing along  the  horizon  in  perfect  for- 
mation; spaced  the  same  distance 
apart,  each  ship  in  its  lovely  white 
paint  stood  out  so  clearly,  as  if  pass-

ing  along  the  ocean's  ending,  while 
several  feet  above;  the  smoke  rising 
from  each  a  certain  height,  then  all 
blending  and  drifting  backwards  to 
form  a  soft  cloud.  It  was  a  gloriously, 
wonderful  sight  really,  as  the  battle- 
ships moved  along  in  all  their  majesty. 
Just  as  the  second  ship  put  in  ap- 
pearance, a  loud  humming  broke  the 
stillness.  It  was  not  your  "Chivita 
Blanca"  disturbing  you  this  time 
while  your  beads  passed  slowly,  one 
by  one  through  your  beautiful  hands. 
No  —  this  time,  all  of  us  sat  looking 
around  to  see  where  the  loud  noise 
came  from.   Even  Tia  Dolores  and 


Tia  Chata  (Tia's  half  sisters)  then 
suddenly,  a  gasp  of  surprise  came 
from  both  sides  of  the  porch.  All  of 
us  saw  a  very  large  flying-boat  in  the 
sky,  flying  right  along  over  the  long 
line  of  white  battleships.  On  this  trip, 
the  battleships  wore  their  last  white 
coats.  The  battleship  grey  has  been 
on  them  ever  since. 

This  was  the  first  airplane  to  act 
as  a  convoy  escort,  and  the  very  first 
plane  that  the  three  Great-Aunts  had 
ever  seen.  Tia  sat  very  quietly.  No 
finger  movement,  even  on  the  Rosary.

On  Sunday,  March  5,  1961  it  was 
my  pleasure  to  attend  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  Child- 
rens  Foundation  Breakfast  sponsored 
by  the  S.D.D.G.P.  and  the  D.G.P.'s 
of  Alameda  and  part  of  Contra  Costa 
county.  The  breakfast  was  well  at- 
tended, the  decorations  were  beau- 
tiful, entertainment  was  most  enjoy- 
able, and  the  breakfast  very  success- 
ful. My  thanks  to  the  Supervisor  and 
to  the  Deputies  who  worked  so  very 
hard  to  make  this  the  success  it  was. 
Through  your  efforts  happiness  and 
sunshine  will  be  brought  into  the 
lives  of  many  children  in  California. 

Following  the  breakfast  many  at- 
tended the  dedication  of  the  SaUie 
Rutherford  Thaler  Memorial  Foun- 
tain, Lakeside  Park,  Oakland.  Our 
late  Past  Grand  Secretary  SalHe 
Rutherford  Thaler  was  truly  a  dedi- 
cated Native  Daughter.  Her  unselfish 
devotion  to  the  Order  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West,  her 
County,  State  and  Country,  will  al- 
ways be  remembered  by  those  who 
had  the  pleasure  of  knowing  her.  My 
compliments  to  the  members  of 
Aloha  Parlor  No.  106,  Oakland,  for 
erecting  this  very  beautiful  memorial 
to  her. 

April  will  be  a  very  busy  month, 
filled  with  Official  Visits,  which  will 
take  me  to  many  parts  of  the  State. 
I  am  looking  forward  to  greeting 
many  of  my  Sisters  at  the  Official 
Visits. 

The  Lenten  season  inspires  us  to 
new  hope  and  faith  and  we  give 
thanks  to  God  for  his  help  and 
strength  and  for  the  promise  of  new 
life,  rich  and  abundant.  May  the 
spirit  of  Easter  continue  throughout 
the  year  and  bring  joy  and  peace 
throughout  the  world.

hy,  ^ewel  JicSweeney,,  P.  Q.  P. 


W  AM  A  SALESWOMAN  and  I  am 
J^  looking  for  personable  women  to 
join  with  me  in  promoting  a  worth- 
while program.  Do  you  have  the 
drive,  the  force,  the  vision  that 
characterize  the  pioneer  women  of 
our  State? 

The  qualifications  I  am  seeking  in 
women  for  this  task  are  an  inherent 
interest  in  the  social  and  cultural  de- 
velopment of  California  and  mem- 
bership in  the  Native  Daughters  of 
the  Golden  West.  If  you  meet  these 
basic  qualifications  and  you  are  will- 
ing to  apply  yourself  there  is  a  sell- 
ing job  for  you  any  place  in  Cali- 
fornia. The  returns  you  receive  will 
depend  on  your  individual  effort  and 
initiative. 

This  work  may  be  done  in  your 
spare  time  whatever  your  station  in 
life.  It  may  be  done  in  your  home, 
school,  office,  church  or  civic  organi- 
zation, or  even  in  your  bridge  or 
canasta  club.  It  will  not  confhct  with 
your  personal  life  and  will  aid  in  the 
pursuit  of  happiness  for  many  people. 
You  need  not  go  from  door  to 
door  burdened  with  a  carrying  case 
of  samples;  neither  do  you  need  to 
give  away  a  prize  to  attract  the  atten- 
tion of  your  customers.  This  is  an 
unusual  opportunity  for  women  to 
reach  out  and  score  new  attainments. 
The  saleswomen  I  am  seeking  will 
be  selling  good  will  for  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West.  You 
will  be  a  Public  Relations  Woman, 
obtaining  favorable  fraternal  publi- 
city and  promoting  good  will  between 
the  general  public  and  the  Order. 
You  will  not  confine  your  efforts  to 
newspaper,  radio  and  television  pub- 
licity by  writing  human  interest 
stories;  rather  you  will  further  a 
California  History  and  Landmarks 
program  by  telling  everyone  you 
meet  about  the  proposed  Father 
Junipero  Serra  Statue  and  the  res- 
Itoration  of  Mission  Soledad. 

You  will   advise   all  within  CaU- 

ornia's     golden    boundary     of    the 
ative  Daughters  Home  in  San  Fran- 

isco    where    the    doorway    inward 

eads  to  companionship  and  care  .  .  . 

hen  you  will  add  a  word  about  the 
jLeslye  A.  Hicks  Home  Health  Fund 

APRIL,  1961 


and  its  humanitarian  purpose.  You 
will  promote  interest  in  young  girls 
of  our  State  by  making  known  the 
Junior  Native  Daughter  Program. 
You  will  tell  of  the  cry  of  the  child- 
ren oft  times  stilled  by  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  Child- 
rens  Foundation  with  the  purchase 
of  braces,  wheelchairs,  artificial  limbs 
and  costly  medical  care. 

You  must  be  aware  of  what  is 
going  on  in  your  respective  com- 
munity as  a  civic  minded  individual; 
you  must  know  of  the  extensive  wel- 
fare and  philanthropy  programs 
reaching  our  veterans  and  other  hos- 
pitalized persons.  You  must  have  the 
ability  to  effectively  explain  the  need 
for  Conservation  and  the  historical 
value  of  a  Pioneer  Roster.  You  must 
be  alert  to  the  needs  of  good  govern- 
ment and  have  a  sense  of  destination 
deep  and  abiding  in  an  active  Ameri- 
canism program.  You  must  appreci- 
ate the  heritage  that  was  handed  to 
you  by  birth  in  California  and  you 
must  be  dedicated  to  the  task  of  in- 
stilHng  in  others  a  deeper  apprecia- 
tion of  the  ideals,  privileges  and  ob- 
ligations of  a  California  Heritage. 

If  you  meet  all  of  these  require- 
ments there  is  a  place  for  you  in  the 
Public  Relations  Program  of  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West.  Leave  the  basic  rules  of  "do's 
and  don'ts"  and  ingenuity  and  imagi- 
nation for  news  releases  to  your 
Parlor  Public  Relations  Chairman, 
but  join  the  wider  spread  group  of 
Saleswomen  by  selling  goodwill  for 
the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West  through  a  daily  Public  Rela- 
tions Program.  Join  me,  the  State 
Chairman  on  Public  Relations  for  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West.

PARTY  TIME 

Valentine  Day  is  gone  but  the 
memory  lingers  on  pleasantly  with 
the  ladies  of  Company  H  at  the  Vet- 
erans Home.  Who  and  what  is  re- 
sponsible for  this  pleasant  memory? 
Members  of  the  George  C.  Yount 
Parlor  gave  their  annual  party  for 
these  ladies.  Welcoming  them  to  the 
festivities  was  Marian  Spenser,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Parlor.  The  banquet  hall 
in  the  Recreation  Center  of  the 
Veterans  Home  was  gaily  decorated 
in  the  Valentine  motif  and  music  was 
provided  for  the  occasion.  The  three 
door  prizes  went  to  Bertha  Maerck- 
lein,  Elsie  Philips  and  Sara  Connerth. 

Refreshments  of  homemade  cake 
and  coffee  were  served  on  attractive- 
ly set  tables  which  were  decorated 
prettily  with  red  and  white  paper 
hearts,  valentines,  white  camelias  and 
individual  favors  of  packaged  dried 
fruit  and  nuts.  Chairman  for  the 
afternoon  was  Evelyn  Fumasi  ably 
assisted  by  Mmes.  Kempster,  Jaeger, 
Fagiani,  Tonascia,  Lande,  Heid  and 
Buttimer.  The  ladies,  upon  making 
their  adieus  to  the  Native  Daughters 
all  agreed  that  this  year's  party  was 
the  best  ever  and  they  are  eagerly 
looking  forward  to  February  14, 
1962.

cisco. The  theme  was  chosen  by 
DGP  Florence  Stayart,  chairman  of

DGP  Lucile  Kimbark  and  the  prayer 
was  given  by  DGP  Dorothy  Vitalie. 
Music  was  presented  by  Frances

talk  on  topics  of  interest. 

Chairman  Stayart  presented  a 
check  to  Mrs.  P.  T.  Conmy,  chair- 
man of  the  Home  Board,  to  be  used 
toward  the  purchase  of  a  lamp  for 
the  lounge.  SDDGP  Ashbaugh  pre- 
sented a  gift  to  Mrs.  Nash,  Home 
Manager,  in  appreciation  of  her 
many  kind  and  thoughtful  deeds  for 
the  deputies.  Mrs.  Ashbaugh  then 
presented  GP  Edna  C.  Williams  and 
the  present  and  past  grand  officers. 
She  also  introduced  each  deputy 
grand  president.

The  regular  monthly  meeting  of

her  deputies  was  well  attended.  Such 
topics  as  the  luncheon  to  be  held 
in  June  and  the  sightseeing  trip  to 
Hearst  Castle  in  May  were  discussed. 
A  question  and  answer  period  re- 
garding the  ritual,  constitution  and 
manual  of  instruction  proved  very 
helpful.  On  March  11,  the  deputies 
were  in  charge  of  refreshments  for 
the  Junior  Native  Daughters  official 
visit.  The  state  chairman,  Constance 
Warshaw,  is  one  of  this  term's  depu- 
ties also.

banquet  was  held  in  San  Francisco. 
This  banquet  has  been  held  annually 
since  1907  and,  although  originally

CHARTER  OAK 

Charter  Oak  Parlor  No.  292  bears 
the  name  of  one  of  the  Tulare 
County's  historic  landmarks.  The 
tree,  a  sturdy  oak,  stands  six  miles 
east  of  Visalia.  It  was  under  this 
tree  that  Tulare  County  was  organ- 
ized by  a  small  group  of  men  who 
could  foresee  the  future  of  a  great 
county,  now  one  of  the  richest  in 
agriculture  in  the  United  States.  The 
plaque  on  the  tree  reads:  "Election 
Tree".  Under  this  tree  on  July  10, 
1852  a  party  under  command  of 
Major  Savage  held  the  election  by 
which  Tulare  County  was  organ- 
ized." 

Charter  Oak  Parlor  was  organized 
by  D.G.P.  Ella  Greene  of  Fresno 
No.  187  on  April  29,  1947  with  a 
charter  membership  of  107  members. 
Eighty  Native  Daughters  from  neigh- 
boring cities  were  in  attendance  when 
Grand  President  Loretta  M.  Cam- 
eron instituted  the  Parlor  and  initiat- 
ed 86  into  membership.  At  the  first 
meeting  21  more  were  accepted  as 
members.  Myrtle  Hartline,  a  member 
of  a  pioneer  family,  was  chosen  as 
president.  Mrs.  Hartline's  great- 
grandfather, John  Findley,  led  a 
wagon  train  across  the  plains  from 
Texas  in  1859  and  settled  in  the 
northeastern  part  of  the  county  in 
a  place  called  Drum  Valley.  Mrs. 
Hartline  and  her  corps  of  officers 
served  for  15  months. 

Some  of  the  Parlor's  activities  in- 
clude participation  in  civic  projects 
and  celebrations  (several  prizes  have 
been  won  in  competition),  acting  as 
hostesses  on  Pioneer  Day,  sponsor- 
ing a  Girl  Scout  Troop  and  support- 
ing such  projects  as  Children's  Foun- 
dation and  restoration  of  Mission 
Soledad. 

At  the  present  time  there  are  84 
members,  the  eldest  being  104  years 
old.  Two  members.  Pearl  Relander 
and  Julia  Walther  are  Deputy  Grand 
Presidents.  The  majority  of  the  mem- 
bers are  from  pioneer  families  who 
were    instrumental    in    building    our 

great  county.

OLDEST  MEMBER 

To  ride  through  the  streets  of 
Visalia  was  the  birthday  request  of 
104  year  old  Mary  McEwen,  mem- 
ber of  Visalia  Parlor.  It  is  believed 
that  Mrs.  McEwen  is  the  oldest  mem- 
ber of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West.  It  had  been  almost  100 
years  since  Mrs.  McEwen  first  tra- 
veled the  streets  of  Visalia.

March  24  in  the  Julia  Harrison 
Micke  Memorial  Building  in  Micke 
Grove  with  Mrs.  Gerald  Cleland  as 
chairman.  A  contribution  was  made

SAN  JUAN'S  BUSY  YEAR 

President  Lillian  Gunderson  of 
San  Juan  No.  315,  C  a  r  m  i  c  h  a  e  1, 
started  us  on  a  new  adventure  last 
July  by  beginning  the  first  year  term 
for  us.  Since  then  we  have  had  a 
very  busy  and  happy  time,  starting 
with  "Fashions  by  the  Pool",  a 
"Water  Carnival"  in  August.  In  Sep- 
tember, we  honored  our  pianist 
Barbara  Fait  with  a  surprise  party 
for  her  service  these  past  years.  No- 
vember 21st  we  presented  an  audi- 
torium flag  at  the  dedication  of  the 
Thomas  Kelley  School  in  Carmichael 
with  Chairman  Myrtle  McWiUiams 
and  President  Gunderson  doing  the 
honors.  January  was  our  official  visit 
of  Worthy  Grand  President  Edna  C. 
Williams  with  the  theme  "California 


the  Wonderland"  and  decorations  of  ' 
turquoise   and  white  carnations. 

March  22nd  was  the  date  of  our 
annual  luncheon  and  fashion  show. 
A  birthday  party  was  held  the  23rd 
for  our  oldest  member,  Maude  R. 
Newell.  Another  flag  was  presented, 
this  time  to  St.  Mel's  School.  A 
party  was  held  in  the  home  of  Presi- 
dent Gunderson  with  proceeds  from 
this  and  all  other  ways  and  means 
projects  going  into  general  fund  to 
be  distributed  to  Childrens  Founda- 
tion, Americanism  and  Civic  Parti- 
cipation, Father  Serra  Statue  fund, 
Mission  Soledad,  Veterans  Welfare 
and  other  projects. 

Plans  in  the  offing  are  our 
Deputy's  party  in  April,  honoring  our 
D.G.P.  Betty  Rhodes  from  Fern 
Parlor,  Officers  Party  in  May,  Presi- 
dent's Party  in  June  and  installation 
of  new  officers  in  July,  and  then  we 
start  on  the  nsw  year.  The  current 
password  is  truly  reflected  in  our 
members.

California's  ^irst  College 


Hartnell  College  —  before  1900 


El  Colegio  de  San  Jose,  the  first 
college  in  the  State  of  California  was 
demolished  recently.  The  college, 
buUt  by  WiUiam  E.  P.  Hartnell  127 
years  ago  in  1883,  operated  only  two 
years.  One  of  the  reasons  given  for 
its  brief  existance  is  that  two  of  the 
teachers,  Fathers  Bachelot  and  Short, 
were  expelled  by  the  Mexican  gov- 
ernment. Hartnell  was  unable  to  find 
other  qualified  instructors.  Besides  the 
idea  of  a  college  seemed  radical  to 
the  Dons  of  the  Salinas  Valley  at 
that  early  period. 

The  college  consisted  of  a 
couple  of  two  storied  adobe  buildings 
located  about  six  mUes  east  of  the 
present  city  of  Salinas.  Fifteen  stu- 
dents were  enrolled  in  1833.  Hartnell 
himself  was  one  of  the  teachers  and 
his  own  children  formed  part  of  the 
student  body.  The  curriculum  in- 
cluded Latin,  German,  French,  rhe- 
toric mathematics,  philosophy  and 
Christian  doctrine  and  morals.  Stu- 
dents were  required  to  have  two  suits 
of  underwear,  necessary  top  clothes 
and  a  horse.  The  fee  for  tuition, 
board  and  lodging  was  $200  per 
year. 

The  land  on  which  the  college  was 
built  is  now  in  the  middle  of  a  cattle 
ranch  established  by  pioneer  Jim 
Harden  in  the  early  part  of  the  cen- 
tury and  owned  at  the  present  time 
by  his  daughter,  Marie  Sconberg. 

The  old  college  buildings  of  this 
historical  landmark  drew  crowds  of 
tourists.  Mrs.  Sconberg  felt  that  the 
old  buildings  were  unsafe  and  a 
menace,  the  cost  of  restoring  them 
was  prohibitive  and  besides  strangers 
came  and  went  at  will,  leaving  the 

PAGE  12 


owners  no  privacy.  Therefore,  the  old 
landmark  was  demolished. 

(Editor's  Note:  Although  the  first 
college  is  now  gone,  the  name  con- 
tinues with  Hartnell  Junior  College.)

22  years  ago  —  March  17,  1939  — 
by  Topanga  Parlor  No.  269,  NDGW 
of  Canoga  Park. 

Those  present,  and  helping  to 
mark  the  scene  were  Emma  Graves, 
Marguerite  Tann,  Clara  Tucker, 
Minnie  Palmer,  Viola  Penland, 
Laura  Hill  and  Dorothy  Pogue,  all 
still  active  members  of  Topanga  Par- 
lor. 

Application  for  registering  this 
marker  has  been  made  to  the  Histori- 
cal Land  Mark  Advisory  Committee 
in    Sacramento. 

About  half  a  mile  down  the  road 
and  below  this  spot  was  a  small 
stagecoach  stop  where  horses  were 
exchanged  for  fresh  ones  before  at- 
tempting to  puU  the  heavy  coaches 
through  the  rugged  pass. 

Nothing  is  left  of  the  stop,  which 
is  located  on  the  site  of  the  Aqua 
Sierra  Gun  Club,  except  a  few  weed 
covered  rocks  that  were  a  part  of  the 
foundations  of  the  adobe,  and  a  few 
scattered  olive  trees  that  probably 
outlined  the  corrals.  In  the  shade  of 
these  trees,  horses  were  shod  and 
bridles  mended  to  ensure  a  safe  and 
secure  passage  through  the  pass. 

When  the  railroad  was  completed 
through  these  mountains,  the  stage- 
coach lines  were  put  out  of  business 
in  this  area. 

Today  it  is  possible  to  follow  a 
portion  of  the  old  road  which  in 
many  places  is  over  solid  rock.  It 
might  be  considered  now  an  eques- 
trian and  hiker's  delight.  To  us,  who 
are  accustomed  to  the  smooth  black 
topped  highways,  it  is  almost  im- 
possible to  imagine  how  a  horse  anc 
coach  could  pass  over  this  steep  anc 
rocky  road. 

During  the  hey-day  of  the  stage- 
coaches the  road  was  kept  passable 
by  the  constant  work  of  the  count) 
who  filled  the  rock  crevices  with  dir 
and  small  stones.  It  was  paid  for  bj 
money  received  from  poll  tax.  In  the 
60  years  of  abandonment,  wind  anc 
rain  has  blown  or  washed  away  tht 
fine  rock  and  soil  until  all  that  is  lef 
to  remember  the  years  from  185^ 
to  1890  is  what  nature  placed  then 
thousands  of  years  ago. 


The   other   half   lives   exactly   the   wa; 
their  better  half  lets  them.

ARCADIAN  MEMORIES  . . . 

{Continued  from  Page  5) 

to  her  beads,  as  the  faint,  but  audible 
Ava  Marias  passed  her  lips,  her  love- 
ly brown  eyes  spread  wide,  filled  with 
disbelief,  though  she  never  moved. 

Tia  Dolores  was  scared  to  death, 
really  petrified  for  a  few  moments, 
then,  as  she  managed  to  stand  up 
holding  on  to  both  arms  of  her  chair, 
she  cried  in  Spanish,  No!  No!,  it 
cannot  be.  My  eyes  are  seeing  things; 
my  ears  hear  big  buzzings;  it  is  an 
act  of  the  devil;  I  must  hide  and  pray. 
Feeling  her  way,  she  went  into  the 
house.  Her  face  ashen  and  ghastly; 
her  big  brown  eyes  glassy. 

She  was  muttering,  "Jesus  Christo 
perdoni  mi."  (Jesus  Christ,  forgive 
me).  She  went  through  the  front 
parlor  and  music  room  like  a  sleep- 
walker straight  into  a  dark  coat  closet, 
shuting  the  door  after  her. 

While  Tia  Chata,  who  was  young- 
er, although  both  were  much  younger 
than  Tia  Arcadia,  but  up  in  years  too, 
grabbed  her  head  between  her  hands, 
stopping  up  her  ears,  and  mumbling 
pitiful  pleadings  to  Christo,  (Christ) 
rushed  upstairs  to  her  room,  where, 
she  took  the  Infant  Jesus  out  of  the 
crib  on  her  table  altar,  and  setting 
Him  down  on  the  middle  of  her  bed, 
she  threw  herself  down  on  her  knees, 
praying  aloud,  as  her  arms  enfolded 
the  Christ  Child. 

Clearest  of  all,  we  could  hear  her 
crying,  "Dios  Mio  (My  God)  the 
devil  is  flying  through  the  air.  Only 
Thou  can  conquer  him.  Send  him 
back  to  the  Infierno  (Hell)  where  he 
belongs.  Please,  Dios  Mio  (My  God) 
and  I  will  give  up  anything  I  have  to 
please  Thee." 

It  was  pitiful  to  see  these  two  who 
knew  nothing  of  the  mechanical  age 
w^  were  entering,  nor  our  progress 
in  mechanical  things,  go  so  to  pieces, 
and  it  was  hours  before  either  re- 
laxed enough  to  come  out  of  hiding. 

And  you,  Tia.  You  looked  at  it 
all  so  very  wonderfully,  after  the  first 
shock.  You  said,  "Sabes  Chivita 
Blanca?  Lenardi  de  Vinci,  (it  is 
written  in  the  books)  always  claimed 
that  some  day  men  would  fly  like 
birds  in  the  sky,  and  it  is  true  now. 
Wt  have  seen  it  happen  today.  Your 
bis-bis  abuelo  (who  was  my  abuelo — 
grandfather)  often  talked  of  big  boats 
and  bigger  ships  to  come  some  day, 
but  said  that  he  iiimself  would  never 
live  to  see  them."

Sallie  Rutherford  Thaler  was  born 
near  Mosswood  Park  on  May  19, 
1888  and  was  educated  in  the  Oak- 
land schools.  In  1921  she  married 
the  late  Charles  J.  Thaler,  retired 
Battalion  Chief,  Oakland  Fire 
Department.  In  1912  she  joined 
Aloha  Parlor  No.  106  and  in  1919 
became  its  president.  She  was  serv- 


ing her  second  term  in  that  office 
at  the  time  of  her  fatal  accident.  In 
1925  she  was  elected  Grand  Trustee 
and  two  years  later  she  became 
Grand  Secretary,  a  post  she  held  for 
31  years  until  her  death. 

Mrs.  Thaler  was  beloved  by  all 
who  knew  her.  She  devoted  much  of 
her  life  to  charitable  and  philan- 
thropic work.  The  fountain  presented 
in  her  memory  bespeaks  the  deep 
thoughtfulness  of  those  who  so  hon- 
ored her.

side.  A  road  was  constructed  to  the 
top  of  the  mountain  in  the  follow- 
ing year  which  was  claimed  by  a 
flag  raising  ceremony  at  which  Riis, 
in  an  inspiring  address,  referred  to 
Fremont  as  bringing  the  American 
flag  whose  spirit  set  men  free,  which 
met  the  cross,  carried  by  the  Fran- 
siscan  padres,  which  taught  men 
how  to  use  that  freedom. 

Two  months  later  Miller  erected  a 
great  wooden  cross  on  the  highest 
point  of  Mr.  Rubidoux  which  was 
dedicated  by  Bishop  Conaty  to  Fra 
Junipero  Serra,  founder  of  the  Cali- 
fornia missions. 

Later,  in  visiting  Riverside,  Riis 
expressed  the  hope  that  many  people 
would  visit  Mt.  Rubidoux  and  enjoy 
its  beauties.  In  a  moment  of  inspira- 
tion he  exlaimed,  "An  Easter  sun- 
rise pilgrimage  would  bring  them  to 
the  mountain." 

"No,"  replied  Miller,  "you  could- 
n't get  them  to  come  here  for  that. 
No  one  but  Catholics  will  go  out  in 
the  dark  to  sing  and  pray." 

The  response  to  the  first  sunrise 
service  nearly  confirmed  Miller's  re- 
mark. No  church  in  Riverside  an- 
nounced the  event  except  the  Uni- 
versalist. 

Now,  and  for  many  years,  thou- 
sands gather  each  Easter  morn  to 
joyously  commemorate  those  im- 
mortal words,  "He  is  risen." 

Early  in  1959  the  cross  erected 
by  Miller  was  damaged  by  vandals 
who  twice  set  fire  to  it.  Just  before 
Easter  of  that  year  it  was  replaced 
by  a  new  cross  constructed  by  the 
city.  It  was  flown  to  the  summit  of 
Mt.  Rubidoux  by  an  Air  Force  heli- 
opter  and  installed  by  city  employees.

whA-^Ci^ 


One  morning  a  friend  of  mine 
came  to  my  office  and  complained 
that  his  neighbor's  pig  frequently 
broke  through  the  fence  and  rooted 
about  in  his  garden.  This  was  in  the 
era  before  the  Small  Claims  Court 
and  the  amount  of  damages  did  not 
warrant  the  filing  of  a  law  suit. 

I  advised  my  friend  that  the  best 
solution  to  the  problem  was  to  catch 
the  pig,  pen  it  up  and  not  release  it 
until  the  neighbor  had  paid  for  the 
damages. 

Two  days  later  he  phoned  me  and 
stated  that  he  had  followed  my  ad- 
vice and  was  certain  that  he  would 
have  no  further  trouble. 

A  somewhat  similar  problem 
plagued  us  during  the  late  war.  Like 
many  others,  our  family  planted  a 
Victory  garden  on  the  back  of  our 
lot.  One  of  our  neighbors  had  several 
chickens  which  he  kept  on  his  pre- 
mises despite  the  fact  that  the  city 
ordinance  did  not  permit  poultry  in 
our  neighborhood. 

The  crowing  of  the  rooster  was  not 
too  disturbing,  after  we  got  used  to 
it,  but  my  wife,  Jane,  did  resent  the 
chickens  scratching  up  her  garden. 
In  desparation  she  called  Tommy 
Taylor  of  the  local  police  depart- 
ment. Tommy  arrived  with  his  well- 
known,  big  smile  and  asked,  "Where 
are  the  chickens?" 

"By  the  time  you  got  here,  they 
have  gone,"  she  replied  tartly. 

"Well,"  observed  Tommy,  "since 
there  aren't  any  chickens  here  there's 
nothing  1  can  do." 

He  left,  but  the  story  had  not 
ended.  A  few  days  later  Jane  called 
the  department  and  again  Tommy 
responded. 

"I'm  still  having  trouble  with  those 
chickens,"  she  said.

T  THE  JUNCTION  of  Hill  and 
Sycamore  Roads,  four  miles 
east  of  Santa  Paula,  stands  an  ancient 
sycamore  which  marks  the  trail  of 
El  Camino  Real.  According  to  tradi- 
tion, Sefiora  Ysabel  del  Valle  of 
Rancho  Camulos  frequently  sent  an 
Indian  servant  with  food  and  wine  to 
place  in  the  tree  for  the  refreshment 
of  weary  padres  trudging  between 
Santa  Barbara  and  Ventura  Missions. 
This  arboreal  patriarch  is  mention-

C.  Fremont  describing  his  march 
through  the  Santa  Clara  Valley  in 
1846  while  on  his  way  from  Monte- 
rey to  the  Los  Angeles  area  where  he 
accepted  the  surrender  of  General 
Andres  Pico  as  a  preliminary  to  the

Perhaps  the  most  remarkable  story

(which  is  now  Ventura  County.  Vot-

their  ballots  under  its  branches  for 
J.  H.  Kincade,  a  popular  man  in  the 
area  who  sought  the  District  Attor- 
ney post  in  competition  with  Jarrett 
T.  Richardson  of  Santa  Barbara.  A 
Mr.  Fagan  of  Santa  Paula,  member 
of  the  election  board,  carried  the  re- 
turns by  horseback  to  Santa  Barbara 
and  Kincade  was  elected. 

The  old  tree  is  also  a  surveyor's 
marker  for  ranches  in  the  vicinity 
among  them  Rancho  Sespe.  It  gave 
its  name  to  the  road  that  passes  near 
it  and  marked  the  rendezvous  of 
early  day  highwaymen. 

Religious  services  were  conducted 
and  picnics  enjoyed  beneath  its 
friendly  boughs. 

Dedication  of  the  famous  tree  was 
held  on  Saturday  afternoon,  March 
4,  and  a  plaque  placed  by  the  Cali- 
fornia State  Park  Commission  in 
cooperation  with  the  Ventura  County 
Historical  Society,  El  Aliso  Parlor 
No.  314,  NDGW  of  Santa  Paula  and 
Poinsettia  Parlor  No.  318,  NDGW 
of  Ventura.  Laura  Hallock,  president 
of  El  Aliso  and  Ethel  Henry,  presi- 
dent of  Poinsettia,  unveiled  the 
plaque  after  Father  Kenney  of  St. 
Sebastian's  Catholic  Church  gave  the 
invocation. 

Otis  Draper  of  the  Ventura  Col- 
lege was  the  main  speaker  taking  as 
his  topic,  "John  C.  Fremont."  Her- 
bert Baehr  of  Fillmore  sang  "The 
Star  Spangled  Banner",  accompanied 
on  a  small  portable  organ  by  Mrs. 
Dewey  Thompson,  also  of  Fillmore. 
Children  of  the  Santa  Clara  School 
led  the  pledge  to  the  flag,  and  Mr. 
Baehr  sang  "Trees."  The  services 
were  closid  with  the  benediction  by 
Paul  Leavens  and  serving  of  light 
refreshments.

brownstone  slabs  given  by  Russell 
Temple,  which  he  had  kept  for  more 
than  40  years.  The  slabs  had  been 
taken  from  a  quarry  in  Sespe  Canyon. 
Three  of  these  slabs  were  cemented 
together  to  make  the  monument  for 
the  plaque.  Rancho  Sespe  had  the 
monument  built  for  this  occasion. 

The  inscription  on  the  plaque  is 
as  follows: 

"In  1846  Gen.  John  C.  Fremont 
passed  this  sycamore  tree  on  his  way 
to  sign  a  treaty  with  General  Andreas 
Pico  to  secure  California  for  future 
annexation  to  United  States.  It  served 
the  Padres  as  a  resting  place,  and  a 
community  as  a  polling-place;  and 
a  temporary  post  office;  and  a  loca- 
tion for  religious  services.

Torrey  Pine 


fHE  COAST  redwood  was  given  the 
name  Sequoia  Sempervireus  in 
1847  by  a  German  botanist,  Stephen 
Endlicher.  Sempervirens  means  "al- 
ways living."  How  did  Endlicher 
happen  to  choose  the  genus  name  of 
Sequoia!  That  question  has  never 
been  satisfactorily  answered.  There 
are  two  theories.  Some  believe  that 
it  is  derived  from  the  Latin  word, 
sequi,  meaning  "to  follow"  as  illus- 
trative of  the  fact  that  the  "present 
living  redwoods  are  the  followers  or 
descendants  of  a  long  race  of  se- 
quoias."   While    this    is    true,    it    is 

PAGE  4 


doubtful  if  Endlicher  knew  it  to  be 
a  fact  back  in  1847. 

It  is  generally  believed  that  the 
redwoods  are  named  after  Sequo-ah, 
a  half-breed  Cherokee  Indian,  who 
in  1821  completed  an  alphabet  for 
his  mother's  people.  A  statue  of  him 
stands  in  the  National  Capitol  as  the 
representative  of  Oklahoma  in  Stat- 
uary Hall.  There  is  no  evidence  that 
EndUcher  ever  heard  of  Sequo-ah. 
However,  there  are  no  further  ex- 
planations. 

Specimens  of  the  Sierra  redwood 
were  brought  to  England  by  William 


Lobb  and  in  1853  John  Lindley 
named  the  tree  Wellingtonia  gigan- 
tea  in  honor  of  the  Duke  of  Welling- 
ton. The  French  scientist,  Joseph 
Decaisne,  recognized  the  Welling- 
tonia as  a  species  of  the  already 
named  genus.  Sequoia,  and  therefore 
published  it  as  Sequoia  gigantea,  the 
name  commonly  attached  to  it  today. 
For  many  years  the  United  States 
Forest  Service  persisted  in  calling 
this  tree  the  Sequoia  washingtoniana. 

The  Torrey  Pines  were  growing 
luxuriantly  in  Southern  California  in 
prehistoric  times  when  the  coastline 
extended  further  westward  and  in- 
cluded the  present  Channel  Islands 
as  part  of  the  mainland.  Today,  only 
a  few  descendants  of  these  sturdy 
trees  survive.  A  small  group  clings 
tenaciously  to  the  eastern  end  of 
Santa  Rosa  Island,  off  Santa  Bar- 
bara. The  others  are  making  a  gal- 
lant last  stand  on  an  eroded  mesa 
a  few  miles  north  of  San  Diego.  Only 
in  these  two  locations  does  the  Torrey  i^ 
Pine  grow  natively.  It  is  perhaps  the  i 
rarest  tree  in  the  world. 

In  recent  centuries  Nature  has  not 
been  particularly  kind  to  the  Torrey 
Pines.  Ocean  winds,  laden  with  salt 
spray  have  blown  relentlessly 
against  these  trees,  twisting  them  in- 
to irregular  shapes.  A  discouraging 
environment  has  limited  their  height 
to  about  thirty-five  feet.  Transplant- 
ed to  more  friendly  surroundings 
they  develop  into  symmetrical  trees 
over  one  hundred  feet  tall. 

The  naming  of  the  Torrey  Pine  is 
nearly  as  interesting  as  the  tree  it- 
self. It  involves  three  physicians.  Dr. 
Charles  Christopher  Parry,  Dr.  John 
Lawrence  LeConte  and  Dr.  John 
Torrey,  all  of  whom  abandoned  the 
practice  of  medicine  in  order  to  en-- 
ter  the  world  of  pure  science. 

Dr.  Torrey  received  his  medical' 
degree  at  the  age  of  twenty-two  and 

CALIFORNIA  HERALcj 


after  six  years  of  practice,  during 
which  he  spent  his  leisure  time  in  the 
study  of  Botany,  he  quit  his  profes- 
sion to  accept  the  professorship  of 
chemistry,  mineralogy  and  geology 
at  West  Point.  From  1827  to  1855  he 
served  as  professor  of  chemistry  and 
botany  at  the  College  of  Physicians 
and  Surgeons  where  Parry  and  Le- 
Conte  became  his  students.  He  was 
a  versatile  man.  At  the  time  of  his 
death  he  was  chief  assayer  of  the 
United  States  Assay  office  at  New 
York. 

LeConte,  a  native  of  New  York, 
was  graduated  from  Mount  Saint 
Mary's  College  in  1842  and  there- 
upon entered  the  College  of  Physi- 
cians and  Surgeons.  It  was  here  that 
he  and  Parry  became  friends  and 
classmates,  both  graduating  in  1846. 

Possessing  independent  means  Le- 
Conte never  practiced  medicine  for 


Calaveras  Big  Tree 


a  livelihood.  He  was  greatly  interest- 
ed in  entomology  and  was  the  first 
biologist  to  map  the  faunal  areas  of 
western  United  States.  President 
Hayes  appointed  him  chief  clerk  of 
the  United  States  Mint  at  Philadel- 
phia, a  position  which  he  held  until 
he  passed  away  in  1883. 

Parry  was  born  in  England  and 
came  to  the  United  States  with  his 
parents  in  1832.  After  receiving  his 
M.  D.  degree  he  moved  westward  to 
Davenport,  Iowa,  where  he  com- 
menced his  medical  practice.  Parry 
was  more  interested  in  Botany  than 
in  medicine  and  in  1849  he  was  de- 
lighted to  receive  the  appointment  as 
botanist  and  assistant  surgeon  to  the 
United  States  and  Mexican  boun- 
dary survey.  For  the  next  three 
years  he  studied  plant  life  of  the 
southwest. 

In  1850  he  met  his  old  friend,  Dr. 
LeConte,  at  San  Diego,  where  the 
latter  was  making  some  scientific 
studies.  LeConte  informed  Parry  that 
he  had  heard  of  an  interesting  grove 
of  trees  a  few  miles  up  the  coast  and 
urged  him  to  make  a  study  of  them. 
Parry  agreed  with  alacrity.  He  was 
delighted  to  find  a  new  species  of 
pine  which  he  named  pinus  torrey- 
ana  in  honor  of  his  old  mentor.  Dr. 
John  Torrey. 

For  nearly  forty  years  more  Parry 
botanized  the  West.  He  studied 
plant  life  in  the  San  Bernandino 
mountains,  the  San  Joaquin  Valley 
and  the  western  portion  of  the  Mo- 
have Desert.  He  was  the  first  person 
to  be  appointed  to  the  post  of  botan- 
ist of  the  United  States  Department 
of  Agriculture.  During  his  lifetime  he 
collected  more  than  18,000  botanical 
specimens,  discovered  hundreds  of 
species  of  which  more  than  fifty  are 
named  after  him.  Parry's  Nut  Pine 
or  Parry's  Piiion  (Pinus  quadrijolia) 
of  southern  California  perpetuates 
his  memory. 

The  Torrey  Pines  in  San  Diego 
County  are  now  within  a  State  Park 
especially  created  to  preserve  them. 
They  stand  today  as  a  living  symbol 
of  the  will  to  survive. 

Thousands  of  years  ago  the  Gulf 
of  California  extended  northerly  in- 
to what  is  now  called  the  Coachella 
Valley.  Along  the  shores  of  this  an- 
cient arm  of  the  sea  grew  the  ancest- 
ors of  California's  stately  Desert 
Palm. 

Today,  the  natural  home  of  this 
picturesque  tree  is  found  in  canyons 


MAY,  1961 


Mariposa  Big  Tree 


at  the  base  of  the  eastern  side  of  the 
San  Jacinto  Mountains  in  Riverside 
County,  at  the  southeastern  end  of 
the  San  Bernadinos,  in  eastern  San 
Diego  County,  in  the  mountains 
above  Yuma,  and  southerly  in  Lower 
California. 

Long  before  the  white  man  came 
to  California  the  palm  tree  had  been 
of  great  economic  importance  to  the 
Indians.  Its  leaves  were  used  to 
thatch  their  huts  and  its  fibres  were 
woven  into  baskets.  Its  fruit  was  eat- 
en either  fresh  or  dried.  In  its  dried 
state  it  was  ground  into  a  meal  or 
soaked  in  water  and  the  sweetish 
liquor  drained  ofl".  The  Cahuilla  In- 
dians frequently  permitted  this  liquor 
to  ferment  into  an  intoxicating  drink.

^  III    HE  FIRST  really  significant  participation  of  Grand 
Parlor  in  a  project  as  such  was  the  following: 

"Invitation:  Your  Sires  and  Fathers,  the  associated 
Veterans  of  the  Mexican  War  and  California  Pioneers, 
extend  to  you  a  most  cordial  and  parental  invitation 
to  attend  the  celebration  of  the  50th  Anniversary  of 
the  taking  possession  of  California  and  raising  of  the 
American  Flag  at  Monterey,  on  July  7th,  1846,  by 
Commodore  John  Drake  Sloat,  of  the  U.  S.  Navy, 
which  will  be  held  at  that  place  on  July  7th,  1896. 

"Come  in  your  golden  tresses. 
Come  with  filial  caresses, 
Come  in  your  finest  dresses, 
Come  while  time  presses, 
And  gladden  your  Fathers'  hearts. 

Committee  of  Arrangements  of  the  Associated 
Veterans  of  the  Mexican  War." 

The  Grand  Secretary  was  instructed  to  reply, 
stating  that  as  many  as  can  attend  the  celebration  will 
do  so. 


A  lengthy  communication  was  also  received  from 
the  same  association  asking  that  we  contribute  a  stone 
4x2x2,  either  of  marble  or  granite,  for  the  base  of  the 
monument,  and  asking  our  assistance  generally,  in  the 
erection  of  the  monument,  etc 

After  due  dehberation,  a  motion  was  adopted  that 
the  Subordinate  Parlors  assess  their  members  10c  apiece 
for  the  purpose  of  procuring  the  stone  for  the  base  of 
the  Sloat  Monument,  the  deficiency,  if  any,  to  be  taken 
from  the  Grand  Parlor  Treasury;  the  stone  to  be  a 
California  product. 

(The  completion  of  this  project  was  reported  at  the 
1897  session.) 

An  invitation  was  extended  to  hold  the  next  Grand 
Parlor  in  Sonora,  with  $150  offered  towards  the  mile- 
age. Several  members  spoke  in  praise  of  the  attractions 
of  Sonora,  and  the  invitation  was  accepted. 

An  invitation  was  received  to  attend  the  semi- 
centennial anniversary  of  the  raising  of  the  Bear  Flag 
in  the  City  of  Sonoma,  "That  the  occasion  may  be 
graced  by  the  Flower  of  our  Commonwealth,  cordial  and  urgent  invita- 
tion is  extended  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  to  honor  the 
celebration  by  their  presence."  (June  13,  1896) 

The  invitation  was  accepted  to  take  charge  of  the  program  on 
Woman's  Day  during  the  celebration  at  Monterey  conducted  by  the 
Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West. 

A  committee  to  have  articles  of  incorporation  drawn  up  was  ap- 
pointed by  the  Grand  President.

Ninety-nine  parlors  were  represented  at  the  1897  Grand  Parlor 
held  in  Sonora. 

A  final  report  was  made  on  the 
stone  for  the  base  of  the  Sloat 
Monument.  It  had  been  decided  to 
place  a  stone  having  a  Grecian 
border  around  its  face  and  in  the 
center  the  letters  NDGW,  and  in 
two  corners,  respectively,  the  date 
of  the  first  Parlor's  organization, 
and  July  4,  1896.  The  cost  was 
$90.00. 

"Literary  Exercises"  were  held 
on  July  4  at  Monterey,  in  con- 
nection with  the  laying  of  the  cor- 
nerstone of  the  Sloat  Mounment.

The  Grand 
President's  Corner 


On  March  12  it  was  my  privilege 
and  that  of  my  husband  to  attend  the 
Southern  Counties  Fourth  Annual 
Childrens  Foundation  Bruncheon 
held  at  the  Beverly  Hilton  Hotel, 
Beverly  Hills.  The  decorations  were 
beautiful  and  carried  out  the  theme 
of  Easter.  Over  700  people  attended 
this  outstanding  event.  The  program 
presented  and  the  outstanding  speak- 
er, Past  Grand  President  Jewel  Mc- 
Sweeney,  left  a  favorable  impression 
on  all  who  attended,  of  the  very  fine 
program  the  Native  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West  have  set  up  to  give  aid 
to  the  children  of  California.  The 
success  of  this  bruncheon  was  made 
possible  by  the  hard  work  of  a  very 
fine  committee,  and  I  extend  my  per- 
sonal thanks  for  a  job  well  done. 
Important  dates  to  remember: 
May  14  .  .  Mothers  Day 
May  30  .  .  Memorial  Day 
These  two  days  bring  thoughts  of 
our  mothers  who  mean  so  much  to 
each  of  us;  to  our  fraternal  sisters, 
friends  and  loved  ones  who  have 
gone  to  their  heavenly  home  on  high; 
to  those  who  gave  their  lives  in  the 
armed  forces  of  our  Country  that  we 
might  remain  a  free  people.  I  urge 
the  subordinate  Parlors  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  to 
plan  appropriate  programs  in  recog- 
nition of  these  special  days. 

May  3,  1911  and  June  20,  1911 
were  both  important  days  in  the  his- 
tory of  our  Order;  two  new  Parlors 
were  added  to  our  fraternal  chain.

Miss  Minnie   Bofinger,   honored   by 

Berendos  No.  23,  NDGW,  for  having 

49  years. 

Tehama  County  school  teacher, 
joined  the  Parlor  on  December  19, 
1911.  She  has  served  seven  half- 
year  terms  as  president  and  for  the 
past  30  years  has  been  the  financial 
secretary.  She  resides  in  the  same 
house  in  which  she  was  bom  and  has 
been  an  active  member  of  the  Presby- 
terian Church  for  60  years.  The 
many  cards  and  gifts  she  received 
expressed  the  esteem  in  which  she  is 
held. 


My  son,  who  is  a  freshman  in  college, 
had  been  pestering  me  for  a  late-model 
car.  On  a  visit  to  the  campus  I  pointed  out 
that  most  of  the  cars  were  of  ancient 
vintage. 

''But,   Dad,"   he   protested,   "those   cars 
belong  to  the  faculty!"

By  David  R.  Kersten 

Who  has  taught  me  how  to  smile 
When  things  are  going  tough? 

And  who  stands  by  me  all  the  while 
Her  voice  down-soft,  ne'er  rough? 

Urging,  pushing  me  ahead, 

Lifting  high  my  bowed  head. 
Keeping  me  on  the  straight  and  nar- 
row, 
Saying,  "he  reaps  more  who'll  har- 
row." 

With    assuring   words   and   meaning 
looks, 
Her  passing  thoughts  say  more  than 
books, 
Who  is  by  night  and  day  my  rule 
And    guides    even    now    through 
school. 

So  perfect  is  her  way  of  life 

She  is  my  moral  code; 
And  she  is  more  than  all  the  world 

To  her  son,  who  wrote  this  ode.

to  May  18th,  1961.  Below  is  listed  a 
schedule  of  events  and  I  hope  that 
you  will  be  able  to  attend  some,  or  all,

Fashion  Show  and  other  enjoyable

On  Monday,  May  15th,  at  2:30 
p.  m..  Grand  President  Edna  C.  Will- 
iams will  make  her  Official  visit  to 
our  Grand  Parlor.  During  the  past 
year  it  has  been  my  privilege  to  be 
with  Grand  President  Edna  on  many 
occasions,  at  which  time  she  repre- 
sented your  Order  in  a  most  outstand- 
ing manner  and  executed  the  duties 
of  her  office  admirably.  I  hope  that 
many  of  you  will  honor  your  Grand 
President  and  the  Native  Sons  of  the 
Golden  West  by  being  in  attendance 
on  this  day  and  I  can  assure  you  that 
your  visit  to  our  84th  Grand  Parlor 


at  Hobergs  will  be  very  pleasant  and 
a  memory  you  will  treasure. 

As  my  term  draws  to  a  close,  I 
wish  to  thank  the  Grand  Officers  and 
members  of  the  Native  Daughters  of 
the  Golden  West  for  their  many  kind- 
nesses extended  to  me  and  Mrs. 
Travers  during  my  term  as  Grand 
President.

<5<5S|®ELL  ME  MORE  Tia,  and  what 
y^  was  his  name?  1  know  that 
Juan  Bandini  was  his  his  abuelo. 
Who  was  yours?"  She  rephed,  "Why, 
his  father  of  course  —  Don  Jose 
Bandini,  Chivita." 

Continuing,  she  said,  "Well,  when 
Jose  finished  schooling  in  Spain,  he 
was  sent  to  a  college  in  Florence, 
where  he  stayed  with  his  grand- 
parents till  he  completed  all  that 
they  taught  there.  One  thing  in  which 
he  was  most  interested  was  to  be- 
come an  officer  and  ride  the  ocean 
waves,  which  he  certainly  did  and 
loved  to  do.  Many  wars  were  going 
on  in  those  years,  as  history  has 
told  us.  When  Jose  returned  to  Spain, 
he  told  his  father  he  wanted  a  ship 
of  his  own,  which,  his  father  gave 
him,  and  his  traveling  started." 

"But  Tia,  that  must  have  cost  lots 
of  money  for  his  father  to  give  him 
a  ship  of  his  own.  His  father  must 
have  had  lots  of  money.  Did  he?" 

"Seguro,  (sure)  did  you  never 
hear  that  they  were  of  a  princely 
family  in  Florence,  Italy,  and  were 
rich,  with  children  and  gold?  Well, 
they  were.  The  oldest  son,  as  was 
the  custom,  inherited  his  father's 
title  and  princely  estates  to  carry  on 
the  name  in  the  tradition  of  all  noble 
families.  Two  others  in  the  family 
also  carried  the  tradition  of  every 
Catholic  family.  A  son  became  a 
priest  and  a  daughter,  a  nun.  The 
others  married,  and  spread  all  over 
the  world  and  into  new  countries. 

I  then  said,  "But,  Tia,  what  if 
they  did  not  feel  the  call  to  a  religious 
life,  what  then?  Did  they  have  to 
become  a  nun  or  a  priest?" 

Her  reply  was,  "Oh  yes,  of  course. 
And  at  times  some  scandal  would 
crop  out  in  a  family,  when  filial  obe- 
dience forced  them  to  a  religious 
order,  and  it  was  not  their  real  vo- 
cation. Instead  of  asking,  and  ob- 
taining a  release  from  such  Holy 
orders  through  permission  of  the 
Pope  in  Rome,  they  would  just  free 
themselves,  and  a  scandal  would 
naturally  follow.  Now,  you  can  see 
for  yourself,  Chivita,  where  harm  has 
been  done  to  the  Church,  by  wrong 
thinking,  and  this  odd  idea  of  forc- 
ing anyone  into  a  religious  life,  just 

MAY,  1961

in  order  to  have  one  in  the  family." 

Tia  continued  to  tell  me,  "Before 
long,  this  will  be  done  away  with. 
You  watch  and  see,  and  only  those 
who  really  want  to  be  a  nun  or  priest, 
will  be  allowed  to  enter  Holy  Orders. 
When  this  time  comes,  no  more 
scandal.  Very  few  people,  who  are 
not  of  the  old  Catholic  families  know 
what  decisions  were  often  forced  on 
some  child.  You  know  this  now. 
Others  will  in  time,  and  always  re- 
member, you  have  much  more  free- 
dom than  your  mother,  and  your 
mother  had  much  more  than  her 
mother  or  I." 

I  interrupted  and  asked,  "But,  Tia, 
what  of  your  grandfather  and  his 
ship?" 

She  quickly  replied,  "What  if  we 
talk  of  that  tomorrow?  See,  I  have 
interrupted  my  rosary,  and  will  have 
to  start  all  over." 

Bless  your  heart,  my  Tia.  As  I 
dream  back  through  the  years,  your 
voice  is  so  clear.  I  seem  to  hear  it 
now,  and  see  your  fingers  slow  up 
on  the  beads;  your  head  begin  to 
nod;  the  quiet  day  has  returned;  the 
morning  excitement  worn  off;  the 
larger  plane  has  passed;  and  peace, 
a  blessed  peace  has  come  to  you,  as 
telling  of  things  gone  by,  broke  the 
nerve  strain.  Your  siesta  time  has 
come,  so,  while  you  nap,  1  shall  go 
to  see  how  the  others  are. 

On  entering  the  cool  dark  hall,  I 
saw  Patricio  (the  house  boy)  going 
upstairs  with  a  tray  and  two  cups 
of  tea. 

"Is  Tia  Dolores  upstairs  with  Tia 
Chata?"  "Yes",  he  said  and  added, 
"Both  have  had  a  nap,  and  now  want 
some  tea  and  toast,  then  Doha 
Dolores  wants  to  go  home." 

I  then  asked,  "She  will  not  stay  for 
supper?"  Patricio  said,  "No.  She  says, 
for  many  devils  are  apt  to  be  out 
after  dark,  and  she  wants  to  be 
home." 

Just  to  make  sure.  I  questioned 
Patricio   again,    "You    are    sure    Tia 


Chata  is  alright  by  now,  or  shall  I 
go  up  ond  see  them?" 

He  quickly  replied,  "No!  No! 
Don't  do  that!  They  don't  want  to 
see  anyone.  Queverguenza  tendrian." 
(how  embarrassed  they  would  be)  A 
servant  had  taken  Dona  Dolores  out 
of  the  closet  and  helped  her  upstairs, 
so  she  and  Dona  Chata  would  be 
together." 

I  then  told  him,  "Alright  then. 
When  you  come  down,  please  tell 
Charlie  to  have  the  carriage  in  front 
when  Doha  Dolores  is  ready  to  go." 

Turning  back  onto  the  porch  to 
be  with  you,  Tia,  I  sat  waiting, 
watching  your  beautiful  hands,  know- 
ing that  the  minute  you  started  to 
awaken,  your  fingers  would  start 
tightening  on  your  beads,  and  they 
did,  just  before  Tia  Dolores  came 
onto  the  porch,  as  she  was  leaving, 
looking  still  very  pale,  and  walking 
very  slowly,  but  so  very  anxious  to 
be  gone  from  where  she  could  see 
the  ocean,  and  had  first  seen  a  plane. 

And  you  chuckled,  as  the  carriage 
drove  away,  and  you  said,  "ewe 
tontas  son  las  viejietas."  (how  fool- 
ish the  old  ones  are.)

twelve  miles  south  of  Santa  Barbara, 
who  have  lived  in  the  area  for  over 
fifty  years.  Members  of  the  Parlor 
present  a  program,  including  a  fash-

or  over.  This  affair  is  always  well  at- 
tended and  looked  forward  to  by 
early  time  residents  of  the  valley.  The 
family  of  Mrs.  Birss  is  one  of  the  old-

in  February  in  order  that  members 
might  participate  in  the  Grand  Presi-

Spencer  delivered  a  most  eloquent  address  and  then 
called  upon  Miss  Clara  Wittenmyer  to  invoke  the  divine 
blessing.  The  prayer  was  couched  in  such  beautiful 
language  and  delivered  with  such  earnestness,  that  at 
its  close  those  who  were  within  hearing  breaking  through 

conventional  rules,  loudly  applauded A  poem 

written  by  Mrs.  E.  O.  Smith  of  San  Jose,  was  read  by 
Mrs.  Esther  Malcolm  Johnson,  a  lady  of  rare  elocutional 
ability.  .  .  .  Then  the  200  girls  composing  the  living  Flag 
sang  "Columbia  the  Gem  of  the  Ocean"  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Mrs.  Hollenbeck  of  Pacific  Grove,  accompanied 
on  the  piano  by  Miss  Lola  Lawrey.  ...  A  brilliant  ad- 
dress on  "Our  State",  by  Miss  Mariana  Bertola,  followed, 
the  lofty  sentiments  and  flowing  periods  of  which  elicited 

frequent  applause The  Flagship  Band  played 

"Marching  Through  Georgia."  .  .  .  "The  Spanish  Re- 
gime" was  the  title  of  an  interesting  paper  read  by  Miss 

Agnes  Manning Miss  Eliza  D.  Keith's  paper  on 

"Patriotism  in  the  Public  Schools"  was  one  of  the  bright- 
est numbers  on  the  programme  and  met  with  ready  re- 
sponses from  all  who  were  near  enough  to  hear 

"Yankee  Doodle"  was  sung,  and  the  San  Carlos  Mando- 
lin Club  played  a  selection  with  Miss  Florence  Schau- 

fele "America,"  in  the  singing  of  which  the  vast 

concourse  joined  with  a  will,  accompanied  by  the  band 
from  the  Philadelphia,  closed  the  most  interesting  Fourth 
of  July  Exercises  ever  held  in  Monterey." 

The  report  on  the  Sloat  Monument  received  from 


Major  E.  A.  Sherman,  Secretary  of  the  Sloat  Monument 
Association,  mentioned  that  the  Native  Daughters  was 
the  first  organization  to  receive  an  invitation  to  furnish 
a  stone  of  the  prescribed  form.  "There  are  three  layers 
of  stones,  each  4  feet  long,  2  feet  wide  and  2  feet  thick, 
excepting  the  State  of  California  stone,  which  is  the  com- 
er stone,  6  feet  long,  4  feet  wide  and  2  feet  thick,  to  form 
the  square  of  the  base,  24  x  24  feet,  upon  which  the 
monument  proper  and  the  statue  of  Commodore  Sloat 
is  to  be  erected.  There  are  66  stones  in  all,  to  form  the 
base,  one  stone  being  alloted  to  each  of  the  57  Counties, 
IVi  in  length  of  the  cornerstone,  leaving  71^2  stones  to 
be  supplied  to  complete  the  whole.  Of  these,  the  U.  S. 
Army,  the  U.  S.  Navy,  the  Veterans  of  the  Mexican 
War,  the  Pioneers,  the  National  Guard,  the  Public 
Schools,  the  Native  Daughters  and  the  Native  Sons  to 
furnish  one  stone  each." 

"By  this  action  of  your  Society  in  thus  furnishing  a 
stone  for  the  base  of  the  Monument,  and  by  our  standing 
resolution,  it  constitutes  you  and  the  rest  of  your  com- 
mittee and  also  your  Grand  Secretary  and  Grand  Treas- 
urer, Honorary  Members  of  the  Sloat  Monument  Associ- 
ation, who  will  be  duly  enrolled  upon  being  furnished 
with  their  names." 

It  was  noted,  in  passing,  that  the  white  water  lily 
was  the  emblem  on  the  Marshal's  banner. 

A  contribution  of  $25.00  was  made  to  the  Lincoln 
Monument  Fund.  (To  be  continued)

Tommy  walked  over  to  the  gar- 
den. "Where  are  the  chickens?"  he 
asked. 

"Follow  me,"  my  wife  replied.  A 
look  of  perplexity  erased  his  smile  as 
they  approached  the  garage.  Jane 
opened  the  door  and  pointed. 
"There,"  she  said,  "there's  one  of 
the  chickens.  I  caught  it  in  the  gar- 
den so  you  could  see  it  when  you 
came.  Now,  what  are  you  going  to 
do?" 

"I  think  I  had  better  talk  to  your 
neighbor,"  he  replied. 

Thereafter  we  had  no  more  chick- 
en-trespass trouble,  but  it  really 
didn't  make  much  difference.  The 
gophers  and  nematodes  spoiled  the 
garden  anyway.

I  presume  that  there  is  in  most  of 
us  a  desire  to  get  rich  quick  and  this 
weakness,  if  it  may  be  called  that,  is 
the  basis  of  success  of  most  confi- 
dence games.  Postmaster-General 
Day  has  recently  announced  that  the 
old  "Spanish  Swindle"  is  again  flour- 
ishing. I  remember  it  as  the  "Spanish 
Prisoner  Trick."  When  I  was  in  the 
District  Attorney's  Office  I  saw  cor- 
respondence such  as  I  shall  describe. 

The  intended  victim  is  carefully 
selected.  He  will  receive  a  letter  from 
Mexico  from  a  man  who  states  that 
he  is  a  banker.  The  letter  will  prob- 
ably read  something  like  this:  "A 
person  who  knows  you  and  has 
spoken  very  highly  about  you  has 
made  me  entrust  to  you  a  very  deli- 
cate matter,  on  which  depends  the 
entire  future  of  my  daughter  as  well 
as  my  very  existence." 

The  writer  goes  on  to  state  that 
he  has  been  imprisoned  for  debt 
although  he  possesses  a  large  sum  of 
money  hidden  in  a  trunk  now  on 
deposit  in  a  United  States  Custom 
House.  Other  letters  follow  enclosing 
documents  showing  the  amount  of 
money  in  the  trunk  to  be  about  a 
half  million  dollars  and  tending  to 
prove  ownership  on  the  part  of  the 
"prisoner." 

If  the  intended  victim  shows  inter- 
est he  is  told  to  come  to  Mexico  City 
with  $10,000  where  he  will  be  met 
by  the  "banker's"  beautiful  daughter 
who  will  act  as  intermediary  and  in- 
cidentally show  him  a  good  time.  He 
is  assured  that  when  the  money  is 
paid  over  that  the  prisoner  will  be 
able  to  pay  off  his  debts,  regain  his 
freedom  and  retake  possession  of  the 
trunk.  The  victim  will  be  paid  one- 
third  of  all  the  money  in  the  trunk.

In  Spanish  times  part  of  the  site  of  the  city  of  Oakland  was  callec 
Encinal  del  Temescal  (oak  grove  by  the  sweathouse)  because  of  the  luxurian 
growth  of  oaks.  Oakland's  first  settler  was  Moses  Chase  who,  during  the  win 
ter  of  1849-1850,  pitched  his  tent  near  what  is  now  Broadway,  Oakland'; 
principal  street.  Surveyor  Juhus  Kellersberger  laid  out  the  city  for  Horact 
Carpentier,  Edson  Adams  and  Andrew  J.  Moon  in  1850.  When  it  was  incor 
porated,  the  name  Oakland  was  chosen. 

Beautiful  Lake  Merritt  was  named  about  1870  for  Dr.  Samuel  B.  Merritt 
a  mayor  of  Oakland.

Aerial  view  of  Oakland  today 


J^H  RECENT  NEWS  item  revealed 
♦S^the  startling  information  that 
1  November,  1960,  the  sum  of 
963,636.05  was  paid  in  tolls  for 
rossing  the  San  Francisco-Oakland 
ay  Bridge. 

Three  and  a  half  years  of  work 
ere  consumed  in  building  this  great 
ructure.  The  completion  of  the 
ridge,  one  of  the  great  engineering 
;ats  of  all  time,  was  marked  by  a 
lighty  celebration  on  November  12, 
936,  at  which  former  President 
[oover  made  the  dedicatory  address, 
.t  Washington,  President  Roosevelt 
ressed  a  golden  key  which  signaled 
le  opening  of  the  bridge  to  the  pub- 
c. 

The  San  Francisco-Oakland  Bay 
ridge  was  constructed  by  the  State 
f  California  with  a  loan  from  the 

UNE,  1961 


Federal  Government.  It  cost 
$77,200,000,  a  modest  sum  by  to- 
day's reckoning,  but  rather  over- 
whelming back  in  Depression  Days. 
It  spans  the  widest  stretch  of  navi- 
gable water  ever  bridged. 

The  problems  attending  the  plan- 
ning and  construction  of  the  bridge 
were  enormous.  Its  location  lay 
between  two  great  earthquake  faults. 
Government  engineers  declared  it 
was  impossible  to  construct  such 
a  bridge. 

Fortunately,  Herbert  Hoover,  a 
great  engineer,  was  then  president. 
He  became  interested  in  the  project 
and  in  cooperation  with  Governor 
C.  C.  Young  he  appointed  the 
Hoover  -Young  Commission  to  make 
the  necessary  preliminary  studies. 
Through  him  the  War  and  Navy  De- 


partments approved  the  bridge  idea 
and  financial  backing  was  assured 
from  the  Reconstruction  Finance 
Corporation. 

It  was  proposed  to  build  a  suspen- 
sion bridge  for  the  San  Francisco 
half  of  the  bridge.  A  two-mile  span 
was  deemed  impossible.  There  was 
no  island  between  Yerba  Buena  Is- 
land and  San  Francisco.  How  could 
a  two-span  bridge  be  anchored? 
Obviously,  only  by  making  a  man- 
made  island  midway  between  these 
two  points.  It  had  been  learned  that 
there  was  a  ridge  of  rock  extending 
from  Rincon  Hill  in  San  Francisco 
to  Yerba  Buena,  but  this  ridge  was 
beneath  200  feet  of  water  and  mud. 
How  could  one  make  an  island  and 
anchor  it  down  at  this  great  depth? 

The  problem  was  presented  to 
Daniel  E.  Moran  of  New  York,  a 
genius  in  underwater  construction 
who  had  built  the  piers  for  the  great 
George  Washington  Bridge.  Moran 
solved  the  problem.  Under  his  in- 
structions a  huge  caisson,  about  a 
half  city  block  in  size,  was  built  at 
the  Moore  Drydock  in  Oakland. 
Fifty-five  steel  cylinders,  each  fifteen 
feet  in  diameter,  were  placed  vertical- 
ly in  the  caisson  and  the  whole  struc- 
ture towed  to  the  site  of  the  proposed 
man-made  island,  situated  midway 
between  the  two  miles  of  water  sep- 
arating San  Francicso  from  Yerba 
Buena.  Huge  quantities  of  concrete 
were  poured  between  the  cylinders 
and  the  caisson  sank  into  the  mud  of 
the  Bay.  The  cylinders  were  opened 
at  the  top  and  the  mud  dug  out.  Ulti- 
mately the  caisson  was  lowered  until 
it  rested  upon  bedrock.  The  surface 
of  the  rock  was  chopped  up  to  insure 
a  strong  cohesion  between  it  and  the

ASES  OF  young  palm  leaves  were 
]^j^  also  eaten.  Occasionally  the  na- 
tives cut  out  the  terminal  leaf  bud  of 
the  tree  and  roasted  it.  Such  a  process, 
of  course  killed  the  palm.  In  order  to 
more  easily  remove  the  fruit,  the 
early  day  Indians  frequently  burned 
off  the  drooping,  dead  leaves.  Ap- 
parently this  treatment  did  not  kiU 
the  palms  and  many  of  the  older  trees 
show  signs  of  charring. 

While  it  is  ordinarily  assumed  that 
the  Indians  utilized  only  the  palms 
where  they  found  them  growing 
wild,  Donald  Culross  Peattie  believes 
that  early  natives  may  have  planted 
them  into  gardens.  In  his  book  on 
western  trees  he  points  out  that  the 
grove  at  Twentynine  Palms  may 
have  been  "a  plantation  rather  than 
a  natural  grove,"  not  only  because 
it  stands  outside  the  seemingly  nor- 
mal range  of  these  trees,  but  also  be- 
cause of  archaeological  remains  thai 
have  been  found  in  the  immediate 
vicinity. 

Despite  the  fact  that  the  Deserl 
Palm  is  a  native  of  California,  a  story 
persists  that  it  was  first  brought  here 
from  Spain  by  the  early  Franciscan 
missionaries.  Without  question  these 
padres  gathered  seeds  from  this  palm 
and  planted  them  at  the  various  mis- 
sions prior  to  1800. 

Interestingly  enough,  the  firsi 
written  record  of  the  Desert  Palm 
was  made  by  a  priest  of  the  Franci- 
can  Order.  Father  Juan  Crespi  waf 
chronicler  of  the  Portola  Expedition 
He  and  his  companions  were  travel- 
ing northward  in  the  spring  of  176S 
to  firmly  establish  the  claims  of  Spair 
to  Upper  Cahfomia.  On  March  29 
the  methodical  padre  wrote  in  hij 
diary,  "We  pitched  camp  [about  3C 
miles  northwest  of  Vellicata,  Lowei 
California]  in  the  arroyo  called  Las 
Palmas  on  account  of  its  palm  trees 
some  of  which  are  very  large.  In  thii 
place  we  found  no  water,  so  the) 
opened  a  batequi  [a  well  dug  in  th« 
sand],  although  the  soldiers  immedi- 
ately reported  that  about  a  hall 
league  down  there  was  running 
water  and  pasture. 

The  fact  that  a  well  could  be  duj 
in  the  sand  indicated  that  it  was 
damp  place  conducive  to  growing 
palms.  It  corroborates  the  obser- 
vation of  Dr.  Willis  L.  Jepson,  well- 
known  authority  on  California  trees 
that  the  palm  "grows  along  alkalint 
streams,  rivulets  and  springs."

The  second  European  to  make  a 
written  record  of  the  Desert  Palm 
was  Father  Junipero  Serra,  founder 
of  the  California  Missions.  As  a 
member  of  the  second  division  of 
the  Portola  Expedition  he  followed 
in  the  steps  of  Crespi.  On  May  24, 
1769,  he  came  to  the  spot  where  the 
former  had  camped  two  months  be- 
fore. In  his  diary  he  noted,  "We  re- 
sumed our  journey.  It  lasted  three 
hours  and  a  half,  following  half  of 
the  time  a  dry  ravine  with  much 
sand,  making  the  going  heavy.  There 
were  a  few  palm  trees.  Then  came 
ugly,  steep  hills  leading  to  a  plain 
encircled  by  mountains  and  crossed 
by  a  dry  river.  In  the  center  of  it 
was  a  big  green  palm  tree  and  in  its 
shade  we  halted  .  .  .  That  place  we 
called  Corpus  Christi.  Water  had 
been  brought  in  skins  for  the  men, 
but  the  animals  did  not  have  any. 
Anyway,  they  had  drunk  at  noon  .  .  . 
The  blazing  sun  made  the  journey 
very  painful." 

Lt.  Col.  William  H.  Emory  was 
the  first  American  to  make  a  written 
record  of  California's  Palm.  During 
the  Mexican  war  he  accompanied 
General  Kearny  on  his  expedition 
from  Fort  Leavenworth  to  Califor- 
nia in  1846. 

On  November  29  he  wrote  in  his 
journal,  "We  followed  the  dry  sandy 
bed  of  the  Cariso  [the  Carrizo  Creek 
in  what  is  now  San  Diego  County] 
nearly  all  day,  at  a  snail's  pace,  and 
at  length  reached  the  'little  pools' 
where  the  grass  was  luxuriant  but 
very  salt.  The  water  strongly  re- 
sembled that  at  the  head  of  the  Car- 
iso Creek  and  the  earth,  which  was 
/ery  tremulous  for  many  acres  about 
:he  pools,  was  covered  with  salt  .  .  . 
\  few  miles  from  the  spring  called 
Djo  Grande,  at  the  head  of  the  creek, 
i several   scattered  objects  were   seen 

;IUNE,  1961 


projected  against  the  cliffs,  hailed  by 
the  Florida  campaigners,  some  of 
whom  were  along,  as  old  friends. 
They  were  cabbage  trees,  and 
marked  the  locale  of  a  spring  and  a 
small  patch  of  grass." 

Emory's  friends  were  in  error. 
They  had  seen  the  Desert  Palm,  not 
the  palmetto.  But  it  was  not  the  last 
error  they  would  make.  One  week 
later  they  suffered  heavy  losses  at 
the  Battle  of  San  Pascual.  Joining 
forces  with  Stockton,  Kearny's  men 
marched  northward  to  Los  Angeles. 
They  arrived  at  Mission  San  Juan 
Capistranoon  January  7,  1847. 
There  perhaps  they  saw  the  stalwart 
Desert  Palm  which  tradition  says 
that  Father  Serra  planted  in  1780. 

The  Desert  Palm,  whose  scientific 
name  is  Washingtonia  Filifera,  is  al- 
so popularly  known  as  the  California 
Fan  Palm,  the  Overcoat  Palm  and 
the  Wild  Date. 

It  is  a  true  native  of  California.  In 
its  natural  or  "wild"  state  it  is  a  rare 
tree.  Early  California  nurserymen  re- 
cognized its  value  as  an  ornamental. 
They  gathered  its  seeds  and  sent  its 
plants  to  many  parts  of  the  State. 
Now  it  is  scattered  throughout  the 
world.  It  has  become  so  familiar  in 
Hawaii  that  it  is  known  there  as  the 
Hula  Palm  from  its  fancied  resem- 
blance to  the  grass-skirted  hula 
dancer. 

Throughout  the  world  the  palm 
has  appealed  to  man.  The  great 
scientist,  Linnaeus,  once  called  it  the 
prince  of  the  vegetable  kingdom.  J. 
Smeaton  Chase  characterized  it  as 
the  most  poetic  of  trees.  "In  sym- 
metry of  t  a  p  e  r  i  n  g  shaft,"  he  said, 
"fountain-like  burst  of  crown  and 
play  of  glossy  frond,  it  is  the  ideal  of 
gracefulness  in  plant  life.  To  dwell- 
ers in  cold  or  temperate  climate  it 
brings  also  alluring  thoughts  of  tropic 


warmth,  skies  normally  sunny,  and  a 
life  emancipated  from  winter  flan- 
nels." Certainly  the  winter  tourist 
from  the  snowbound  East  and  Mid- 
dlewest  is  fascinated  by  California's 
stately  palm. 

Most  persons  first  see  the  Desert 
Palm  in  its  native  state  in  Palm  Can- 
yon, near  Palm  Springs.  Back  in 
1919,  Chase  wrote,  "Hundreds  of 
palms  grow  here  along  the  course  of 
a  romantic  stream,  bending  in 
dreamy  beauty  over  glassy  reach 
and  pool,  or  disposed  in  natively  ar- 
tistic attitudes  on  the  lower  slopes  of 
the  caiion  walls.  The  combination  of 
arrowy  brook,  wild  ravine,  and  trop- 
ic multitude  of  palms  makes  the  spot 
an  enchanting  one,  and  it  never  fails 
to  draw  a  tribute  of  surprise  approv- 
al fyom  even  the  callous  globe- 
trotter. Naturally,  those  nuisances, 
the  motion  picture  people  have  seiz- 
ed Palm  Caiion  for  their  antics,  with 
the  result  of  setting  fire  to  some  of 
the  finest  palms."  Then  he  adds  sar- 
castically, "But  why  repine?  Rather 
let  us  rejoice  that  Nature  is  thus  hon- 
ored in  serving  art." 

Nearly  a  century  ago  Frances  Ful- 
ler Victor  wrote  a  poem  called  "Pal- 
ma"  in  which  she  captured  the  spell 
of  enchantment  cast  by  the  palm  tree: 

"What  is  thy  tale  to  heaven 
In  the  sultry  tropic  noon? 

What  whisperest  thou  at  even 
To  the  dusky  Indian  moon? 

Has  she  sins  to  be  forgiven? 

Keep  all  her  secrets  —  loyal. 
As  only  great  souls  are  — 

As  only  souls  most  royal. 
To  the  flower  or  to  the  star 

Alike  are  purely  loyal."

W^  HE  WELL  KNOWN  Rocha  Adobc 
^  at  2400  Shenandoah  Street,  Los 
Angeles,  is  the  home  of  Senaida  Sul- 
livan, retiring  Chairman  of  the  Board 
of  Grand  Trustes,  NDGW;  State 
Chairman  of  the  California  Herald 
Magazine  Committee;  Past  Grand 
Organist  and  Past  Grand  Outside 
Sentinel  of  the  Order.  This  historic 
home  is  one  of  the  few  two-storied 
adobes  ever  to  be  built  in  California. 

Mrs.  Sullivan  can  trace  her  ances- 
try back  directly  to  Pedro  Amador, 
one  of  the  "leather  jackets"  who  ac- 
companied Governor  Caspar  de  Por- 
tola  on  the  "sacred  expedition"  in 
1769  from  San  Diego  to  San  Fran- 
cisco Bay.  Amador's  granddaughter, 
Maria  Josefa  Dolores  Alvarado,  mar- 
ried Antonio  Jose  Rocha  at  San 
Gabriel  Mission  on  December  5, 
1826. 

Rocha,  a  native  of  Santiago  del 
Sopo,  Portugal,  landed  at  Monterey 
in  JiUy,  1815.  He  was  24  years  old 
at  the  time.  Later  he  came  to  Los 
Angeles  where  he  became  one  of  its 
most  respected  and  substantial  citi- 
zens. Rocha  was  the  first  foreigner  to 
settle  in  Los  Angeles.  He  was  a  stone 
mason  by  trade  and  did  much  work 
for  Father  Antonio  Peyri  at  Mis- 
sion San  Luis  Rey.  He  is  also  credited 
with  building  a  mill  for  the  padres  at 
San  Gabriel.  He  erected  an  adobe  at 
the  northwest  comer  of  Court  and 
Spring  Streets  in  Los  Angeles  where 
he  was  always  a  generous  and  hos- 

PAttE  6 


pitable  host.  In  1853  his  adobe  was 
sold  by  his  heirs  to  Los  Angeles 
County. 

Antonio  Jose  Rocha  petitioned  for 
and  was  granted  the  4600  acre  Ran- 
cho  La  Brea  on  April  8,  1828,  by 
Governor  Antonio  Jose  Carrillo.  This 
grant  was  confirmed  by  the  United 
States  and  a  patent  for  it  granted  by 
President  U.  S.  Grant  on  April  15, 
1873.  The  adobe  which  Rocha  built 
on  Rancho  La  Brea  was  restored  by 
the  Gilmore  family  which  acquired 
the  property  in  1880.  Rancho  La 
Brea  has  become  world  famous  for 
the  many  skeletons  of  prehistoric 
animals  that  have  been  taken  from 
its  tar  pits.  The  well  known  Farmer's 
Market  stands  on  this  old  rancho. 

It  is  of  interest  that  the  right  to 
use  the  brea  which  bubbled  up  from 
the  pits  on  the  Rancho  was  reserved 
to  the  settlers  of  Los  Angeles  when 
Rocha  was  originally  granted  the 
land. 

Rocha's  son,  Antonio  Jose  Rocha 
II,  the  grandfather  of  Mrs.  Sullivan, 
married  Ventura  Lopez  at  San  Ga- 
briel Mission  in  1852.  According  to 
the  old  records  of  the  Mission,  her 
mother  was  confirmed  by  Father 
Junipero  Serra,  founder  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Missions,  on  March  22,  1732. 

Antonio  Jose  Rocha  11  acquired  a 
large  portion  of  the  Rancho  Rincon 
de  los  Bueyes  from  Francisco  Hi- 
guera  and  Cornelio  Lopez,  the  grant- 
ees of  the  land.  In  1865  he  erected 


on  this  rancho  the  historic  adobe  in 
which  Mrs.  Sullivan  now  lives.  He 
lived  a  life  of  public  service  and 
served  as  Justice  of  the  Peace  of 
Ballona  Township  from  1865  to 
1873.  He  passed  away  in  1909  at 
the  age  of  79. 

While  Mrs.  Sullivan  has  modern- 
ized the  interior  of  the  home  she  has 
skillfully  retained  the  atmosphere  of 
the  Days  of  the  Dons.  The  spacious 
living  room,  the  scene  of  many  a 
bade  in  years  past,  is  a  delight  to 
every  visitor  who  cherishes  deep  af- 
fection for  the  pastoral  years  of  Cafi- 
fornia.  There  is  nothing  more  de- 
lightful than  to  walk  along  the  out- 
side walls  of  the  adobe  during  the 
cool  of  the  evening.  The  flowers,  the 
cactus  and  the  shrubs  breathe  a 
friendly  story  of  yesteryear. 

Los  Angeles  Parlor  No.  124, 
NDGW,  has  placed  a  historical  mark- 
er on  the  home  which  appropriately 
marks  the  96  year  old  building  as 
something  special  to  be  preserved  for 
posterity. 

Adobe  homes  in  good  condition 
are  a  rarity  today.  It  has  only  been 
through  the  interests  of  persons  like 
Mrs.  Sullivan,  who  have  cared,  thai 
we  of  today  can,  to  some  extent,  a1 
least,  appreciate  our  valuable  heri- 
tage.

\[jfr  RAND  Parlor  was  heW  in  Woodland  in  1898;  102 
)arlors  represented. 

On  June  14  "Miss  Eliza  D.  Keith  suggested  that 
ve  hold  a  celebration  today,  and  that  we  celebrate  today, 
he  birth  of  our  flag,  and  tomorrow  meet  with  the  Red 
rross,  which  motion  was  "duly  adopted."  .  .  .  Later,  a 
esolution  was  offered  "That  this  Grand  Parlor  set  aside 
)ne  day  each  year  for  a  special  'Flag  Day'."  However, 
his  resolution  was  rejected. 

Grand  President  Belle  W.  Conrad,  Dardanelle  Par- 
or  No.  66,  reported  at  length  on  "California's  Golden 
Jubilee,"  the  50th  anniversary  of  the  discovery  of  gold, 
rhe  celebration  was  in  charge  of  the  Miners'  Associa- 
ion  of  California,  the  San  Francisco  County  Miners' 
Association,  the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West,  and  the 
Jociety  of  California  Pioneers.  Mayor  James  D.  Phelan 
)f  San  Francisco  called  the  first  meeting  to  plan  the  cele- 
)ration.  Evidently  the  newspapers  of  the  day  gave  the 
iffair  full  coverage,  as  the  Grand  President's  report 
itates  "The  press  of  the  State  has  supplied  you  with  full 
nformation  on  this  subject,  and  it  is  simply  my  purpose 
o  acquaint  you  with  my  connection  as  your  executive, 

lUNE,  1961 


Parts 

with  the  Executive  Commitee  of  the  Jubilee  and  through 

that  committee,  with  the  Order That  the  Golden 

Jubilee  was  a  success  goes  without  saying,  for  it  was 
California  spirit  that  appealed  to  California  pride  and 
patriotism,  and  it  was  soon  demonstrated  by  the  most 
cheering  and  abundant  evidence,  that  the  people  of  San 
Francisco  were  not  lacking  in  grateful  memory  of  the 
pioneers  of  early  days." 

The  Order  received  a  prize  of  $150.00  for  the 
"handsomest  float  in  the  parade." 

Alta  Parlor  No.  3  again  showed  its  forethought  in 
the  following  resolution:  "That  this  Grand  Parlor,  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West,  advise  the  subordinate 
parlors  to  constitute  themselves  local  History  and  Land- 
mark Clubs  for  the  purpose  of  collecting  California 
"legends,  historical  facts,  pictures,  mementoes,  preser- 
ving landmarks  and  other  historical  data  of  special  inter- 
est to  California." 

The  following  resolution  is  self-explanatory: 

"This  Grand  Parlor  expresses  its  sincere  thanks  to 
the  patriotic  sisters  of  Woodland  Parlor  No.  90  for  the 
beautiful  gavel  and  cushion  wrought  from  the  Hartford, 
the  flagship  of  one  of  our  nation's  greatest  heroes,  Ad- 
miral Farragut,  and  presented  in  their  behalf  by  the 
Mayor  of  this  lovely  city,  and,  whenever  it  is  sounded  in 
the  Grand  Parlors,  may  it  ring  sweet  echoes  of  the  days 
spent  in  your  Woodland  home." 

A  letter  of  thanks  was  read  from  the  Native  Daugh- 
ter's Red  Cross  Aid  for  "vour  generous  donation  of 
$100.00  to  our  fund." 


^^^ 


The  1899  Grand  Parlor  was  held  in  Stockton;  there 
were  now  112  parlors  in  the  fold. 

A  resolution  was  presented  by  San  Miguel  Parlor 
No.  94  that  a  pin  be  designed  with  the  Bear,  figure  of 
Minerva,  and  N.D.G.W.  on  it.  "The  Native  Sons,  gen- 
erally, have  the  Bear,  Eureka  and  N.S.G.W.  So  there 
would  be  a  distinction  between  them.  We  are  entitled  to 
have  the  Bear  on  our  pins  as  descendants  of  the  Pio- 
neers." 

Princess  Parlor  No.  84  desired  "some  motto  for  the 
order." 

Included  in  a  communication  from  P.G.P.  Miss 
Mariana  Bertola,  who  expressed  regrets  at  being  unable 
to  attend  the  session,  were  these  paragraphs: 

"In  the  work  for  the  Red  Cross  our  Order  has  done 
nobly,  and  now  stands  ready  to  again  aid  when  called 
upon  to  give  fitting  memento  to  our  returning  boys  in 
blue. 

"Our  Parlors  have  done  well  for  our  State  at 
large,  and  neither  have  they  forgotten  their  own.  The 
Home  has  received  every  encouragement  —  one  Parlor

ACTIVITIES  OF  LAUREL 

Laurel  No.  6  held  its  annual 
Mothers'  Day  Party  on  May  17  in 
the  social  hall  of  the  Methodist 
church,  one  of  the  old  historic  church- 
es. 

Native  Daughters  of  Laurel  and 
Manzanita  Parlors  joined  with  Hy- 
draulic and  Quartz  Native  Sons  in 
dedication  ceremonies  of  the  Nevada 
Union  High  School.  A  California 
Bear  Flag  was  presented.  Grand  Of- 
ficers of  each  Order  as  well  as  mem- 
bers and  friends  were  present. 

Gwen  Anderson,  now  Laurel  Par- 
lor President  headed  the  group  of 
members  who  had  dinner  at  Faupe's 
and  then  adjourned  to  California 
Hall  for  the  meeting.  SDDGP  Mar- 
ian McGuire  and  DGP  Thelma  Car- 
vin  were  honored  guests.  Guests  also 
were  present  from  Manzanita, 
Sierra  and  Orinda  Parlors.  Special 
honors  were  given  the  Parlor's  50- 
year  members.  Luvia  Kilroy  read  the 
minutes  from  the  records  of  1887 
and  paid  tribute  to  those  past  and 
present  who  keep  the  records.  In  the 
early  days  the  "New  Years  Grand 
Ball"  was  the  social  event  of  the  year. 
Laurel  throughout  the  years  has  al- 
ways taken  great  interest  in  Civic 
affairs. 

Laurel  No.  6  commemorated  the 
74th  Anniversary  of  the  founding  of 
the  Parlor  on  April  13,  1887  by 
Ursula  Parlor  No.  1.  On  March  30, 
1887,  twenty-four  eligible  ladies  met 
at  Pythian  Castle,  now  known  as 
California  Hall,  Nevada  City,  and 
laid  plans  for  a  Native  Daughter  Par-

O.  Reichling.  So  Laurel  Parlor  was 
founded  with  a  membership  of  28 
young  women.  The  chairman  was 
Mrs.  Naffziger.  The  name  "Laurel" 
was  chosen  on  May  25,  1887. 

Next  year  the  Parlor  will  celebrate 
its  Diamond  Jubilee.

OFFICIAL  VISIT 

At  the  recent  official  visit  of  Grand 
President  Edna  Williams  to  Buena 
Vista  and  Dolores  Parlors,  a  Hawai- 
ian theme  was  carried  out  as  it  was 
the  last  visit  of  Mrs.  Williams  to  the 
San  Francisco  County  Parlors. 

Monetary  gifts  for  various  pro- 
jects of  the  Order  were  presented  to 
the  Grand  President  by  Josephine  T. 
Sullivan  and  PGP  Evelyn  L  Carlson 
who  were  the  chairmen  for  the  occa- 
sion. 

High  lights  of  the  evening  were  the 
presentation  of  a  50  star  Flag  from 
Edna  Brenton  of  Dolores  and  Nancy 
Conens  of  Piedmont  Parlors  to  the 
Native  Daughter  home  in  the  mem- 
ory of  the  late  Audrey  Cohn  of  Do- 
lores Parlor  and  Past  Supervising 
Deputy  of  San  Francisco  County 
under  PGP  Elmarie  Dyke.  Mrs. 
Emilette  Conmy,  Chairman  of  the 
Home  Committee,  accepted  the  flag 
with  sentimental  words  and  apprecia- 
tion.

by  PGP  Evelyn  I.  Carlson  on  behalf 
of  Sr.  PGP  Mae  B.  Wilkin.  It  was  a

AUDREY  COHN 

San  Francisco  County  mourns  the 
very  sudden  death  of  Audrey  Cohn

friendship  very  much  and  extend  our

A  year  has  passed,  yet  it  seems 
but  yesterday  that  I  assumed  the  of- 
fice of  Grand  President  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West.  I  am 
truly  grateful  for  the  privilege  of 
serving  the  Order  this  past  year.  It 
has  been  a  wonderful  year  for  me; 
one  I  shall  never  forget;  a  year  filled 
with  harmony,  service  and  friendship. 
The  duties  of  the  Grand  President  are 
many,  but  the  experience  and  friends 
gained  are  well  worth  the  time  and 
effort  given. 

Parlors  throughout  the  State  are 
doing  a  fine  job  in  their  respective 
communities  and  in  working  for  the 
projects  of  the  Order.  I  appreciate 
the  enthusiasm  you  have  shown  this 
past  year  for  the  advancement  of  our 
many  projects. 

Each  time  I  have  visited  the  Sub- 
ordinate Parlors,  have  listened  to 
our  ritualistic  work  and  witnessed 
the  initiation  of  new  members,  it  has 
made  me  realize  more  than  ever 
what  a  wonderful  organization  we 
have  and  what  a  privilege  is  ours  in 


having  California  as  the  land  of  our 
birth. 

1  wish  to  express  my  sincere  thanks 
to  all  members  of  our  Order  for  their 
friendship  and  support  this  past  year, 
to  the  Subordinate  Parlors  for  the 
many  courtesies  extended  to  me,  and 
for  the  bulletins  which  I  have  enjoy- 
ed. To  my  Board  of  Grand  Officers, 
our  Past  Grand  Presidents,  Super- 
vising District  Deputies,  Deputy 
Grand  Presidents,  and  State  Chair- 
men go  my  sincere  thanks  for  your 
friendship,  cooperation  and  attend- 
ance at  my  visits  to  the  Subordinate 
Parlors. 

To  the  members  of  my  Parlor, 
Sequoia  No.  272,  my  sincere  thanks 
for  their  faith  in  me,  their  assistance, 
love  and  friendship  which  has  ex- 
tended over  a  period  of  many  years. 

I  am  looking  forward  to  seeing 
many  of  my  sisters  at  our  Grand  Par- 
lor in  Oakland.  The  committee  has 
many  plans  which  they  hope  will 
please  you  and  will  help  make  your 
stay  in  Oakland  most  enjoyable. 

My  thanks  to  the  California  Herald 
for  printing  my  articles  each  month. 
I  sincerely  hope  we  will  continue  to 
have  the  California  Herald  as  our 
official  organ,  as  I  feel  we  do  need 
such  a  magazine  to  keep  our  mem- 
bership informed  of  the  wonderful 
work  our  Parlors  are  doing  through- 
out the  State.

Qrana  Vice-President 

c4lice  2b,  Shea 

I  am  looking  forward  to  the  third 
week  in  June  with  varied  emotions  — 
extreme  pride,  but  with  the  utmost 
humility  in  being  permitted  to  serve 
our  Order  as  Grand  President  dur- 
ing this,  our  Seventy-fifth  Anniver- 
sary and  with  the  sincere  hope  that 
I  may  help  in  some  small  measure  to 
fulfill  the  dreams  of  the  wonderful 
group  of  women  who  gathered  in  the 
City  of  San  Francisco  for  the  first 
Grand  Parlor. 

The  need  to  increase  our  member- 
ship is  just  as  pressing  today  as  it 
was  in  1887  but  now  we  must  put 
forth  an  even  greater  effort  to  stabil- 
ize and  maintain  our  order.  This  can 
be  done  by  publicizing  our  many  fine 
projects. 

This  year  we  should  plan  many 
functions  to  call  attention  to  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  Wes. 
Everyone  loves  a  Birthday  Party  and 
this  is  the  year  we  should  add  many 
nuggets  to  our  Golden  Fraternal 
chain. 

Let  us  work  together  for  the  good 
of  our  Order,  forgetting  all  personal 
animosity,  be  understanding  and 
tolerant,  think  before  you  speak  — 
one  of  our  early  Past  Grand  Presi- 
dents cautioned  that,  "Words  are 
little  things,  but  they  strike  hard.  We 
utter  them  so  easily  that  we  are  apt 
to  forget  their  power." 

I  know  that  together  we  will  have 
a  happy  and  successful  year  and  I  am 
looking  forward  to  greeting  you  all 
very  soon.

Welcomes  You

Publicity  Chairman,  Alameda  County 

Convention  Committee 

Oakland,  California,  was  chosen 
in  December  of  1956  as  an  "All 
American  City"  by  Look  Magazine 
and  the  National  Municipal  League. 
This  outstanding  city  and  the  entire 
area  of  Alameda  County  are  looking 
forward  to  greeting  the  Grand  Of- 
ficers, Past  Grand  Presidents,  dele- 
gates and  visitors  to  the  75th  Grand 
Parlor  of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West. 

The  Alameda  County  Grand  Par- 
lor Convention  Committee,  under 
the  direction  of  Past  Grand  President 
Irma  Caton,  has  been  working  to 
achieve  the  best  possible  facilities  for 
the  comfort  and  pleasure  of  all.  The 
semi-formal  reception  on  Sunday, 
June  18th,  is  to  be  held  in  the  New 
Kaiser  Center  on  beautiful  Lake 
Merritt.  This  structure  has  already 
received  fame  as  one  of  the  nation's 
outstanding  building  constructions. 
The  White  House  Department  Store 
will  provide  the  fashions  and  models 
for  this  evening  which  promises  to 
be  unusual  and  delightful. 

On  Monday  morning  at  the  Oak- 
land Civic  Auditorium,  this  Grand 
Parlor  will  be  officially  opened  with 
greetings  from  various  state,  county 
and  city  officials  as  well  as  the  local 
Convention  Committee.  The  tradi- 
tional Memorial  Services  will  be  con-

of  Grand  President  Edna  C.  Williams 
with  Vendome  No.  100,  San  Jose  No. 
81  and  Los  Gatos  No.  317.  Idah 
Lyons,  President  of  Vendome  is  aim- 
ing to  have  everything  in  readiness 
for  that  great  occasion.  Initiation  of

fine  ovation  by  over  1,000  distin- 
guished visitors  including  Governor

Hoover,  president  of  San  Jose  No. 
81,  presented  the  California  Bear 
Flag  to  the  George  L.  Sullivan  En- 
gineer Center.  It  was  an  invitational 
affair  and  George  L.  Sullivan,  Dean 
Emeritus,  was  introduced  by  the 
Honorable  James  K.  Carr,  Under 
Secretary  of  the  Interior. 

To  stimulate  attendance  at  Ven-

tamales  was  assisted  by  Mmes.  Irene 
Lial,  Daisy  Williams,  Velma  Gordon, 
and  Violet  Misakian.  Spanish  dec- 
orations and  songs  were  enjoyed.

OLD  PARLOR— NEW  NAME 

by  ViDA  Wells 
Past  President  of  Poppy  Trail  Parlor 

Progress  takes  its  toll  in  many 
ways,  and  sometimes  comes  in  the 
form  of  a  new  name.  Such  has  fallen 
the  lot  of  East  Los  Angeles  No.  266. 
Our  parlor  was  instituted  September 
16,  1938,  in  the  East  Los  Angeles 
area.  It  seemed  a  good  name  to  give 
the  Parlor,  as  at  that  time  the  East 
Los  Angeles  area  composed  a  district

Cable  Cars  in  San  Diego 

So  well  do  I  remember  the 
old  cable  cars  in  San  Diego!  Es- 
pecially the  ones  that  ran  on 
Fourth  and  Spruce  Streets.  The 
power  plant  and  car  bam  stood 
at  the  southwest  corner  of  Fourth 
and  Spruce  Streets  in  San  Diego.  It 
looked  like  the  building  was  only  one 
floor  but  the  real  depth  was  built 
down  a  canyon. 


This  picture  shows  a  car  standing 
on  the  turntable  in  front  of  the  big 
brick  building  that  housed  the  big 
dynamos.  This  power  house  certainly 
fascinated  us  children.  When  Luisa 
took  us  for  a  walk  we  would  plead  to 
go  there.  We  would  walk  in,  stand  on 
the  platform  and  watch  the  big  motors 
whir.  We  did  not  mind  the  noise.  In 
fact  we  liked  it.

LARGEST  BRIDGE... 

(Continued  from  Page  3) 

concrete  which  was  poured  on  top 
of  it  through  the  cyUnders.  With  the 
filling  of  the  cylinders  with  cement 
the  island  was  complete,  strong 
enough  to  hold  the  40,000  ton  ten- 
sion of  the  suspension  cables. 

The  part  of  the  bridge  which  ex- 
tends from  Yerba  Buena  to  Oakland 
was  constructed  on  the  cantilever 
principle.  Without  doubt  the  most 
dramatic  moment  in  building  this 
section  of  the  bridge  occurred  with 
the  closing  of  the  last  96  foot  gap 
when  a  21,000  ton  section  was  lifted 
into  position  185  feet  above  the  sur- 
face of  the  water.  City  and  county 
officials  were  present  for  the  occasion. 
By  reason  of  warm  weather  an  ex- 
pansion of  the  steel  prevented  the 
closing  by  four  inches.  After  a  few 
hours  it  became  cooler  and  the  bridge 
was  completed. 

A  huge  turmel  was  carved  through 
Yerba  Buena  Island  to  connect  the 
two  sections  of  the  bridge.  In  dia- 
meter it  is  the  widest  tunnel  in  the 
world. 


The  story  of  the  building  of  the 
San  Francisco-Oakland  Bay  Bridge 
is  one  replete  with  superlatives.  Six- 
ty-five hundred  men  labored  in  its 
construction.  It  is  the  world's  biggest 
bridge,  being  four  and  one-fourth 
miles  long.  Its  approaches  are  four 
miles  in  length.  It  contains  70,000 
miles  of  wire  and  29  miles  of  main 
and  secondary  cables.  It  is  estimated 
that  some  22,000,000  rivets  went 
into  its  construction.  Its  towers  are 
519  feet  above  water  and  its  deck 
offers  a  216  foot  clearance  at  low 
tide.  It  can  bear  a  load  of  7,000 
pounds  per  square  inch.  Designed  to 
sway  six  feet  out  of  line,  if  necessary, 
a  75  mile  gale  moved  it  only  ten 
inches. 

The  construction  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco-Oakland Bay  Bridge  and  the 
Golden  Gate  Bridge  spelled  the  doom 
of  the  picturesque  ferries  which  plied 
across  the  Bay  for  so  many  years. 
They  seemed  as  much  a  part  of  San 
Francisco  as  the  cable  cars.  The 
Ferry  Building  remains,  a  mute  re- 
minder of  a  glorious  epic  in  the 
romantic  history  of  San  Francisco 
Bay.

JUNE,  1961 


Without  doubt  the  building  of 
these  great  bridges,  as  well  as  other 
fine  bridges  in  the  Bay  area,  were 
necessary  to  handle  the  ever  increas- 
ing traffic  problems  in  this  busy  area. 
Today,  they  are  an  integral  part  of 
the  landscape. 

To  commemorate  the  opening  of 
the  San  Francisco-Oakland  Bay 
Bridge,  a  commemorative  coin,  in 
the  half  dollar  denomination,  was 
authorized  by  C  o  n  g  r  e  s  s.  Of  the 
200,000  sanctioned  coins  only 
71,369  were  made.  During  November 
of  1936  these  coins  were  struck  at 
the  San  Francisco  Mint  and  were  sold 
through  the  San  Francisco  Clearing 
House  for  $1.50  each. 

The  coin  was  designed  by  Jaques 
Schnier  of  San  Francisco.  The  ob- 
verse shows  the  California  grizzly 
bear  with  "IN  GOD  WE  TRUST" 
to  the  left.  The  bear  is  standing  on 
the  word  "LIBERTY."  The  words 
"HALF  DOLLAR"  are  at  the  bot- 
tom and  the  words  "UNITED 
STATES  OF  AMERICA"  form  the 
semi-circle  at  the  top  around  the 
edge.  The  reverse  shows  the  bridge 
stretching  from  San  Francisco  to 
Yerba  Buena  Island.  The  East  Bay 
Hills  and  Ferry  Tower  are  in  the 
foreground.  At  the  left  in  the  water, 
two  ships  are  about  to  pass  under 
the  bridge.  Around  the  circumference 
are  the  words  "SAN  FRANCISCO- 
OAKLAND  BAY  BRIDGE."  At  the 
bottom  is  the  date  "1936."

Occasionally  some  person  suc- 
cumbs to  this  appeal  to  his  avarice 
and  actually  goes  to  Mexico  with 
the  $10,000  of  which  he  is  quickly 
relieved.  Realizing  that  he  has  been 
duped,  he  usually  goes  home  in 
silence.  Mexican  authorities  will  give 
him  no  help  as  they  maintain  he  is 
as  guilty  as  those  who  swindled  him. 
If  he  learns  the  identity  of  the 
"banker",  which  he  probably  will 
not,  he  can  get  no  relief  from  Ameri- 
peace  ofl&cers  as  there  is  no  extra- 
dition treaty  between  United  States 
and  Mexico  covering  the  crime  of 
using  the  mails  to  defraud.

glamour,    personnel    and    attractive- 
ness, and  many  changes  take  place. 

Several  years  ago  our  original 
meeting  hall  was  found  inadequate  in 
many  respects,  so  a  move  was  neces- 
sary. A  hall  in  Montebello  was  found 
and  the  Parlor  moved.  Moves  were 
made  again  to  East  Los  Angeles  and 
back  to  Montebello.  In  these  years  in 
Montebello  we  have  been  a  lodge 
without  our  roots  in  deep  enough  to 
be  of  value  to  ourselves  or  to  our 
community.  Why?  Because  we  were 
bearing  the  name  of  another  com- 
munity. We  were  not  fully  accepted 
in  Montebello  and  ignored  in  East 
Los  Angeles.  We  felt  something  must 
be  done,  so  we  would  not  be  "the 
man  without  a  country". 

Our  best  move  seemed  to  get  a 
name,  not  of  any  one  community  (as 
we  serve  many  surrounding  little 
cities).  If  the  name  is  something  in- 
dicative of  California,  but  not  any 
one  city,  it  makes  our  usefuhiess 
more  helpful  to  all.  In  February  by 
vote  of  the  Parlor,  we  changed  our 
name  to  "Poppy  Trail  Parlor  No. 
266".  By  vote  of  the  Grand  Officers 
in  March,  it  has  been  officially  ac- 
cepted. So  now  we  are  Poppy  Trail. 
This  name  was  chosen  because  it  is 
really  a  part  of  our  Parlor.  Our 
charter  Past  President  Evelyn  White 
is  responsible  for  the  name,  and  has 
copyrighted  it,  as  she  is  writing  a 
book  of  the  same  title.  She  has  given 
us  written  permission  to  use  it  for 
our  new  name.  It  was  in  the  Poppy 
Trail  Villa  that  our  Parlor  was  found- 
ed. We  met  there  for  the  first  several 
years.  So,  it  is  very  dear  to  our  girls. 

At  present  we  have  no  plans  for 
moving  again,  but  in  the  future  if  it 
became  necessary  and  suitable  quart- 
ers could  not  be  found  in  Montebello, 
we  could  go  into  another  city  and  not 
be  ostracised  because  we  bear  that 
city's  name.  Many  of  our  girls  have 
moved  to  Montebello  or  very  close, 
so  Montebello  is  really  the  center 
geographically  for  our  meetings.  In 
fact,  the  majority  of  our  members 
have  moved  to  Montebello  in  the  past 
few  years.

PROJECTS  OF  THE  NATIVE  DAUGHTERS...

only  refusing  even  its  relief  tax.  Many  other  orders  have 
established  Homes,  but,  as  far  as  I  know,  we  are  the 
first  secret  society  of  women  to  make  a  Home  for  its 
members.  Some  years  ago,  even  before  the  great  wave 
of  patriotism  struck  our  land,  we  placed  the  Stars  and 
Stripes  by  our  altar.  Since  then  I  have  noticed  that  other 
organizations  have  followed  in  our  footsteps.  This  is  as 
it  should  be  —  we  sho>'ld  be  leaders  in  all  that  tends  to 
elevate  this  race." 

Buena  Vista  Parlor  Submitted  the  following  reso- 
lution to  amend  the  Constituion  of  Subordinate  Parlors, 
which  was  adopted: 

"In  a  city  or  town  having  two  or  more  Parlors  it 
will  be  the  duty  of  each  Parlor  in  rotation  to  attend  to  the 
sick  of  other  Parlors  outside  their  jurisdiction.  It  shall 
be  the  duty  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Parlor  of  which  said 
sister  is  a  member  to  notify  the  Grand  Secretary  of  the 
illness  of  said  sister,  who,  in  turn,  must  notify  the  Parlor 
to  whose  care  she  should  be  committed." 

A  motion  was  passed  that  the  Grand  Parlor  donate 
$150.00  to  the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West  Medal 
Fund. 

The  appointing  of  a  Committee  on  Emblems  was 
left  to  the  incoming  Grand  President. 

Excerpts  from  the  report  on  the  Native  Daugher 
Home  are  of  interest: 

"In  compHance  with  a  resolution  adopted  at  the 
last  annual  session  of  the  Board  of  ReUef,  and  reported 
to  this  Grand  Parlor,  the  committee  .  .  .  proceed  to  plan 
and  estabUsh  the  work  contemplated. 

"At  the  suggestion  of  the  Grand  President,  S.  L.  H. 
Mills,  circulars  were  sent  requesting  each  Parlor  to  give 
an  entertainment,  the  proceeds  to  be  contributed  to- 
wards carrying  on  the  expenses  of  the  Home.  The 
majority  of  the  Parlors  promptly  replied  and  expressed 
themselves  in  hearty  cooperation  with  the  plan.  Alta 
No.  3  led  the  van  by  a  post  office  order  for  $100.00,  and 
Buena  Vista  followed  with  $50.00  and  a  proposition  to 
expend  as  much  more  toward  furnishing  a  ward  in  the 
hospital  department.  Thus  encouraged,  and  having  some- 
thing to  do  with,  the  committee  engaged  the  house  at 
925  O'Farrell  Street  as  club  and  home.  Mrs.  Wilkin, 
mother  of  our  Past  Grand  President,  kindly  offered  her 
services  as  matron,  gratis,  until  such  time  as  the  demands 
of  the  Home  should  be  beyond  her  physical  ability.  Lib- 
eral donations  were  made  by  Parlors,  members  and 
friends,  and  on  the  opening  of  the  year,  the  house,  with- 
out debt,  was  presented  by  the  committee  to  the  Board 
of  ReUef  for  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West. 
As  to  the  uses,  benefits,  etc.,  of  the  Home,  they  were 
reported  to  the  subordinate  parlors  by  circular  essen- 
tially as  follows: 

1.  A  ward  room,  with  conveniences  for  sick  sisters  who 
apply  for  our  help  and  care. 

2.  Rooms  and  meals  for  Native  Daughters  who  may 
be  in  San  Francisco  temporarily  and  desire  a  home  at 
reasonable  rates. 

3.  A  pleasant  reading  room  and  a  reception  room 
where  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Order  may  call,  rest, 
read,  or  may  visit  together. 

PAGE  18 


4.  A  home  which  belongs  to  each  one  whose  Parlor  has 
contributed  towards  its  support,  and  whose  welcome  is 
extended  to  every  sister  of  our  Order. 

Several  physicians  have  offered  their  services. 

"These  initial  steps  to  establish  a  Native  Daughters 
Home  are  the  beginning  of  what  we  fondly  hope  to  be 
the  crowning  glory  of  our  Order,  and  the  responses  re- 
ceived from  the  Parlors  throughout  the  State  are  proof 
that  the  great  heart  of  the  Order  is  in  sympathy  with  this 
work,  which  we  trust  to  make  permanent.  Upon  the 
subordinate  parlors  will,  for  the  present  at  least,  rest  its 
permanency,  and  to  you,  the  delegates  at  this  Grand 
Parlor,  and  the  representatives  of  our  Subordinate  Par- 
lor, are  put  these  questions: 

"Does  your  Parlor  believe  in  the  Home  and  its 
possibilities? 

"Does  your  Parlor  desire  its  maintenance  and  se- 
curity? 

"Is  your  Parlor  willing  to  contribute,  annually,  a 
proportionate  amount  toward  its  support  and  mainten- 
ance?" 

During  the  afternoon  program,  an  address  was 
given  by  Mrs.  W.  S.  Leake  "to  whom  in  a  great  measure 
is  due  the  establishment  of  a  Native  Daughters  Home 
in  the  Metropolis."  At  the  close  of  her  remarks  the 
Grand  Parlor  passed  a  vote  of  thanks  to  Mrs.  Leake. 

Miss  Eliza  D.  Keith  spoke  on  "Local  Landmarks 
and  History  Clubs,"  introducing  her  subject  with  a  refer- 
ence to  the  resolution  introduced  by  herself  at  the  last 
Grand  Parlor,  commending  to  the  Native  Daughters  the 
work  of  collecting  historical  data  of  California  and  pre- 
serving the  old  landmarks.  Miss  Keith  said  the  Society  of 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  stands  alone  in  its 
fraternal,  social  and  beneficial  features. 

"No  State  has  as  interesting  a  history  as  California. 
1  stood  within  the  walls  of  La  Rabida  Convent,  at  the 
World's  Fair  —  that  convent  whose  original  was  the  one 
in  Spain  to  which  Columbus  went  for  asylum  and  en- 
couragement. As  I  stepped  within  those  cloistered  walls 
1  felt  that  I  was  once  more  upon  the  soil  of  California, 
for  California  bears  upon  her  bosom  the  ornaments  of 
a  civilization  that  connects  us  with  the  old  world  — 
Spain,  the  inufluence  of  the  Moors,  and  the  thought  of 
ages  long  since  past. 

"I  ask  you,  shall  these  monuments  be  allowed  to 
decay? 

"Already  associations  have  been  formed  to  preserve 
these  interesting  monuments  of  the  early  occupation  of 
California. 

"Shall  we,  as  Native  Daughters,  not  do  our  part  to 
preserve  other  landmarks,  to  collect,  classify  and  pre- 
serve data,  clippings,  photos,  traditions  of  California's 
history?"  It  would  seem  to  devolve  upon  the  Native 
Daughters  to  take  up  this  work  with  a  view  to  contribut- 
ing to  the  scope  of  the  Chair  of  California  History,  which 
the  Native  Sons  propose  to  estabhsh  at  the  University  of 
California. 

"We  should  preserve  historic  places  for  memorials 
appropriate  to  the  event.    .  .  . 

"I  would  that  each  session  of  the  Grand  Parlor  be 
marked  by  the  planting  of  a  memorial  tree.   .  .  . 

"Briefly,  let  us  have  an  historian  in  each  parlor  and 
have  certain  times  for  Cahfornia  days.    ..."

Foundation  for  eight  years.  Thirty 
years  experience  as  a  county

of  one  of  Pomona's  early  mansions. 
Her  sister,  Miss  Helen  Stafford,  a  re-

PIONEER  TEA 

The  annual  pioneer  silver  tea  of 
Rancho  San  Jose  Parlor  was  held  at 
Casa  Alvarado,  120  year  adobe  land- 
mark home  of  Isabel,  Alfonso  and 
Nancy  Pages.  Twenty  of  Pomona's 
pioneer  families  not  represented  in 
the  parlor  were  honored.  Among 
them  were  Homer  Duffy,  known  as 
"Mr.  Pomona,"  because  of  his  many 
years  of  leadership  in  civic  activities 
and  Mrs.  Margaret  Ybarra,  90, 
mother  of  Prances  McCain,  past 
president  of  the  parlor.  Songs  of  old 
California  were  sung  by  Gabriel 
Ruiz,  whose  great-grandfather,  Pran- 
cisco  Ruiz,  served  the  altar  for  the 
founding  of  San  Diego  mission.  Al- 
fonso Pages  joined  in  several  num- 
bers. The  Ricarda  Lugo  dancers  pre- 
sented lively  numbers  during  the  af- 
ternoon. 

The  tea  table  boasted  early  day 
sweets  made  by  the  members,  includ- 
ing empanadas  and  puchas.  GT  June 
Goldie  and  SDDGP  Helen  Dusen- 
berry  poured.  Also  pouring  were 
Cecelia  Crouch,  granddaughter  of 
Mrs.  Ybarra  and  1960  queen  of  La 
Piesta  del  VaHe  de  Pomona,  Alta 
Kelley,  and  Mary  Ludden. 

Decorations  were  in  charge  of  Sue 
Summers,  Plossie  Matenzio  and  Ce- 
ceha  Jones,  Coffee  and  tea,  Josephine 
Green  and  Plorence  Dowse;  table  ar- 
rangements, Anne  Spencer  and  Aha 
Kelley.  Hostesses  were  past  presi- 
dents. Donations  were  received  by 
Geraldine  and  Roxanna  Clark.  Rox- 
anna  is  a  former  fiesta  queen  and 
currently  California  queen  of  the  All- 
states  picnic  in  Ontario.  The  Ameri- 
canism and  Civic  Participation  com- 
mittee will  use  the  funds  for  Parlor 
projects. 

On  May  6,  the  Parlor  had  an  en- 
try in  the  La  Piesta  del  Valle  de 
Pomona  parade.  Members  rode  in  an 
old  carriage  belonging  to  Tony  Yor- 
ba  of  LaPuente.

Official  Publication  of 

THE  NATIVE  DAUGHTERS  of  the  GOLDEN  WEST 


SPECIAL  COLLECTIONS 

AT 
THE 
BAR 


During  the  early  years  of  my  prac- 
tice we  had  no  public  defender  in 
our  county.  Whenever  a  person  was 
charged  with  an  offence  triable  in  the 
superior  court  the  judge  would  ap- 
point an  attorney  to  defend  him  if  he 
was  without  funds.  In  murder  cases 
indigents  were  provided  with  two 
lawyers. 

The  presiding  judge  kept  a  hst  of 
all  attorneys  in  active  practice  in  the 
county  and  he  appointed  them  in 
alphabetical  order.  In  those  days 
when  the  average  attorney's  practice 
was  "general"  the  defendant  usually 
obtained  counsel  with  some  skill  in 
criminal  law  procedure. 

Occasionally,  however,  the  ap- 
pointed attorney's  practice  was  con- 
fined to  civil  and  office  work  and  it 
might  be  assumed  that  in  such  a  case 
that  the  accused  was  at  a  distinct 
disadvantage.  Such,  however,  was  not 
the  case,  for  all  these  men  assumed 
their  obligation  seriously  and  made 
an  adequate  preparation  to  make  up 
for  any  deficiency  in  experience. 
Actually  these  so-called  "civil"  law- 
yers frequently  caused  the  district 
attorney  difficulty  by  their  rather  un- 
orthodox but  well  meaning  efforts. 

Without  question  the  jury  general- 
ly could  "spot"  an  appomted  lawyer 
for  we  were  a  small  county  in  those 
days  and  everyone  having  anything 
to  do  with  the  courts  knew  the  law- 
yers who  seldom  if  ever  appeared  in 
criminal  cases.  Moreover,  most  of 
these  lawyers,  by  some  means  or  an- 
other, artfully  conveyed  to  the  jury 
that  they  were  "appointed"  and  there- 
fore slyly  suggested  that  their  clients 
be  given  special  consideration  be- 
cause of  their  supposed  shortcomings 
in  criminal  law  experience.

"Old  Uncle  Nate"  is  mentioned. 
Folks  who  knew  Uncle  Nate  and  who 
know  the  mountain  well  have  pleas- 
ant memories  of  the  times  they 
ascended  the  grade  and  upon  looking 
up  would  see  a  familiar  figure  seated 
on  Billy  Goat  Point,  the  spot  from 
which  Nate  would  watch  his  friends 
in  horse  and  buggy  or  car  wind  in 
and  out  around  the  hairpin  curves  to 
the  mountain  top. 

Uncle  Nate  liked  to  talk  but  he 
could  neither  read  nor  write.  Ap- 
parently he  and  his  master  came  to 


IfOi 


California  from  Kentucky  by  ox- 
team.  Not  long  after  they  arrived  in 
California,  Nate's  master  died,  leav- 
ing his  slave  to  get  along  as  best  he 
could.  Nate  stayed  at  the  San  Gabriel 
Mission  for  awhile  before  finding  his 
way  to  Smith  Mountain,  now  known 
as  Palomar.  He  lived  with  the  Indians 
occasionally  and  once  in  awhile  help- 
ed the  early  settlers  with  their  sheep. 
Travelers  to  P  a  1  o  m  a  r  would  come 
upon  him  sitting  beside  the  spring.  He 
liked  to  "'pass  the  time  of  day"  and 
enjoyed  having  "guests"  Many  a 
motorist  enjoyed  a  cup  of  delicious 
spring  water  and  a  word  with  him. 

One  day,  well-meaning  friends 
came  to  take  Uncle  Nate  for  a  ride 
which  ended  at  the  San  Diego  County 
Hospital.  They  felt  that  he  was  no 
longer  able  to  care  for  himself.  He 
left  his  beloved  mountain  without  any 
of  his  treasures — his  pipe,  an  old 
book  (which  he  could  not  read)  and 
a  few  little  belongings  which  meant 
the  world  to  him.  It  is  saftj  that  he 
died  of  a  broken  heart  at  the  age  of 
101  years. 

Today,  when  the  mists  envelop 
Palomar  with  its  majestic  trees,  cedar, 
fir  and  oak,  perhaps  it  would  not  be 
"just  imagination"  for  those  who 
know  Palomar  to  see,  by  the  spring 
on  the  West  Grade,  an  old  colored 
gendeman,  with  his  straw  hat  on  his 
head,  his  cane  in  his  hand  and  his 
faithful  dog  by  his  side.  He  might 
nod  and  say  in  a  quavering  voice, 
"Yassuh,  I  was  the  first  settler  on  the 
mountain."

T  THE  TURN  of  the  ccntury, 
along  with  the  Repetto  and 
Bartolo  grants  the  La  Merced  Rancho 
was  subdivided  and  what  is  known  as 
Taylor  Ranch  was  purchased  by  Al 
Taylor.  He  was  one  of  seven  sons  of 
Eli  Taylor  who,  along  with  his  wife, 
came  to  California  with  the  famed 
Mormon  Battalion  and  located  in 
Rivera,  California.  There  they  pur- 
chased acreage,  spaded  and  planted 
the  soil,  built  their  home  near  Foster 
Bridge,  and  reared  seven  sons.  After 
about  fifteen  years,  they  built  a  new 
home,  a  large  two-story  dwelling  on 
Telegraph  Road,  where  they  lived  up 
until  their  deaths.  The  old  house  at 
Foster  Bridge  still  stands;  however, 
the  Telegraph  Road  properties  were 
subdivided  several  years  ago  and  the 
old  house  demolished.  The  former 
Ranch  is  now  a  community  of  charm- 
ing homes. 

Young  Al  and  his  wife,  Mabel,  in 
the  establishment  of  their  little  home 
in  Montebello  brought  with  them  the 


but  also  those  of  friends  who  rode 
over  the  trails  daily  to  the  litde  house 
of  hospitality.  It  was  typical  of  Al 
and  Mabel  that  their  beloved  horses 
be  comfortably  housed,  for  both  were 
noted  for  their  riding. 

In  the  spring  of  '98,  the  first  barn 
in  the  huge  La  Merced  area  was 
finished  and  dedicated.  It  still  stands 
surrounded  by  huge  avocado  trees, 
planted  by  the  young  Taylors.  One 
year  later,  the  first  light  meter  to  be 
installed  in  the  area  of  the  poppy 
fields  was  placed  in  the  front  room 
of  the  litde  Taylor  home  by  Southern 
California  Edison  Company.  Room 
after  room  was  added  as  the  years 
years  went  by  for  the  hospitality  of 
Al  and  Mabel  Taylor  did  not  dimin- 
ish with  time,  and  the  Ranch  became 
famous  for  its  barbecues  and  the 
gatherings  of  pioneers  of  that  day. 
Even  with  the  depression,  somehow 
their  courage  was  not  diminished.  It 
was  during  the  depression  that  rumors 
of  oil  spread  and  around  1904,  the

spirit  of  the  pioneers,  faith  in  the  soil, 
willingness  to  work,  coupled  with  dy- 
namic enthusiasm.  The  entire  five 
acres  soon  became  a  humming  berry 
patch.  A  huge  barn  made  of  redwood 
was  built  for  the  accommodation  of 
horses  not  only  the  Taylor  animals,

Ranch  was  leased  to  a  major  oil  com- 
pany. Less  than  one  year  later,  black 
gold  was  flowing  from  the  first  oil 
well  in  the  La  Merced  Tract  in 
Montebello  on  the  properties  of  Al 
and  Mabel  Taylor.  Another  dedica- 
tion' ceremony  took  place  in  the  pop- 


py fields  and,  over  the  trails  for  miles 
and  miles  came  the  celebrants  on 
their  proud  horses.  And,  so  it  was  as 
each  of  the  four  wells  came  in,  there 
was  a  celebration. 

With  the  deaths  of  the  beloved  Al 
and  Mabel  Taylor,  their  properties 
were  looked  after  by  Al's  brother, 
E.  (Dick)  Taylor,  one  of  the  South- 
land's most  distinguished  citizens. 
For  a  number  of  years  caretakers 
lived  in  the  house,  watered  the  soil  — 
the  Ranch  sobbed  its  grief  and  lonli- 
ness.  The  faded  dark  green  buildings 
were  drab  with  cobwebs  and  dust, 
and  still,  the  black  gold  kept  flowing. 

On  April  16,  1950,  there  was 
another  dedication  .  .  .  The  spacious 
Ranch  House,  resplendant  with  new- 
ly painted  white  walls  and  freshly 
mowed  lawns,  decked  with  colorful 
umbrellas,  became  the  home  of 
the  Southland  Art  Association.  More 
than  eleven  hundred  visited  the  "Tay- 
lor Ranch  House"  on  that  day  and 
shared  in  the  hospitality  and  cere- 
monies, part  of  which  was  the  pre- 
sentation of  a  huge  key  to  the  estate. 
This  was  made  to  Evelyn  C.  White, 
a  native  daughter  of  Rivera,  Cali- 
fornia, who  had  pioneered  with  the 
Taylors  and  other  Californians  over 
the  years.  The  presentation  was  made 
by  former  Sheriff  Eugene  Biscailuz, 
a  cousin  of  the  Taylors,  and  he  said 
as  he  placed  the  key  in  the  palm  of 
Dick  Taylor,  who  in  turn  presented 
it  to  Evelyn  White  —  "This  key  sym- 
bolizes for  the  future  the  hospitality 
and  spirit  of  the  pioneers  of  our  be- 
loved Stat  e."  And  so,  the  Ranch 
House  over  a  period  of  eleven  years 
has  become  known  as  the  cultural  and 
hospitality  center  and  has  attracted

aint  Joseph's  Church  and  Father  Ubach 

^  AINT  Joseph's  Church  was  built 
^  in  1894  by  our  famous  priest, 
"ather  Antonio  Ubach,  a  Spaniard 
orn  in  Catalonia,  of  Spanish-Moor- 
;h  parentage. 

He  came  to  San  Diego  in  1866  and 
^as  a  great  friend  of  all  peoples,  no 
latter  what  their  belief,  race,  or 
olor. 

I  personally  remember  him  as  a 
irge  and  very  distinguished  looking 
lan  with  a  heavy  black  beard,  and 
aw  it  grow  gray,  as  his  hair  grew 
/hite.  He  was  the  only  priest  here 
/ho  wore  a  beard.  Permission  had 
leen  granted  for  him  to  do  so,  as  a 
lisfigurement  caused  by  a  broken 
nd  poorly  set  jaw,  on  a  battlefield, 
lad  left  a  hideous  chin  bone  disturb- 
ig  to  look  at.  We  were  always  told 
his  and  as  such,  1  repeat  it  here. 

At  the  time  Saint  Joseph's  was 
tuiit,  it  was  considered  a  very  fine 
>uilding  —  all   red  brick  and  was 


built  on  the  lots  where  Father 
Ubach's  orchard  was.  His  home  was 
to  the  left  and  shows  up  very  well, 
a  one  story  adobe  with  a  wide  porch 
across  the  front.  And  right  in  back 
can  be  seen  a  slanting  roof  reaching 
from  the  chinmney  of  the  house  to 
the  roof  of  the  new  building  way  in 
the  back.  This  roof  is  on  the  first 
little  church  that  was  called  Rosario 
Hall  and  had  been  dedicated  by 
Father  Francis  Mora  in  1875.  In  this 
building  were  held  all  activities  in- 
cluding masses  on  Sundays  and  Holy 
days.  Before  the  big  brick  building 
was  built  and  finished  (enlarged  in 
later  years  by  our  first  resident  Bish- 
op, Charles  Francis  Buddy,  and  is  a 
Cathedral  now  on  Beech  Street,  from 
Third  to  Fourth  Streets)  the  little 
wooden  church  was  on  Fourth  and 
Beech,  but  is  now  gone. 

Many  fond  memories  of  the 
first  church  on  the  northwest 
comer  of  Fourth  and  Beech  are  mine. 
Among  them,  one  very  well  remem- 
bered, very  vivid  even  now  and  often 
seen  at  Mass,  as  the  family  held  the 
first  pew  on  the  right  side  below  the 
altar,  on  entering. 

My  father,  a  Thirty-second  De- 
gree Mason,  son  of  a  Presbyterian 
minister,  always  took  us  children  to 


JLY,  1961 


Mass  on  Sundays.  Like  clockwork, 
he  drove  us  down  the  hill,  some  eight 
blocks  from  home,  went  in  with  us 
and  waited  till  Mass  was  over.  His 
promise  kept  to  the  letter,  when  he 
and  Mother  were  married  "that  all 
children  of  this  marriage  would  be 
brought  up  Catholics",  and  we  were. 

Our  pew  was  about  four  feet  from 
the  steps  of  the  altar  rail  for  com- 
municants. Our  interest  here,  I  am 
sorry  to  say,  was  not  communion. 
Wc  were  too  small,  but  breathlessly 
we  waited,  knowing  that  in  a  few 
moments,  always  a  little  late  for  the 
services,  would  arrive  the  famous 
"San  Diego  Beauty".  What  a  sight 
she  was!  Where  the  nickname  origin- 
ated, I  do  not  know,  but  come  she 
did,  with  a  tap,  tap  of  her  heels  and 
switch ity  switch  of  many  petticoats. 
What  a  character,  about  five  feet 
tall  and  four  feet  round!  Such  ruffles 
and  trimmings!  Such  ribbons  and 
flowers!  A  hat  only  a  museum  could 
pick  and  put  together.  Hair  of  a 
different  color  every  week  and  curled 
to  the  limit,  plus  so  much  makeup 
that  a  clown  would  look  suntanned. 
Her  eyes,  like  small  beads  in  afl  this 
"face-do"  of  white  powder,  red,  red 
rouge  and  heavy  lip  coloring,  and 
heavy  black  eyebrows.  Naturally, 
even  grown  ups,  as  well  as  children 
kept  looking  to  see  what  could  be 
seen  in  all  her  finery,  sparkling  jewel- 
ry, and  clanking  bracelets.  She  was 
very  devout,  even  with  her  back  to 
the  altar,  watching  the  people,  and  as 
the  rosary  passed  through  her  fingers, 
she  prayed  out  loud,  otherwise,  she 
was  always  talking  to  herself.  Her 
mutterings  a  distraction  to  everyone, 
especiafly  to  us  children,  who  wanted 
to  hear  her  talk.  Always,  just  before 
Mass  was  over,  up  she  got,  all  a 
rustle,  to  leave  the  church  first.  What 
a  sight,  as  she  waddled  down  the 
aisle  to  the  rattle  of  her  many  brace- 
lets. None  knew  her  name,  or  where 
she  lived. 

My  Grandmother  Couts  (Ysidora 
Bandini)  was  buried  from  the  new 
brick  church,  called  Saint  Joseph's,

The  Grand 
President's  Corner 


'  The  very  successful  75th  Grand 
Parlor  has  come  to  a  close  and  I 
trust  the  deliberations  will  prove 
beneficial  to  all. 

My  thanks  to  the  Grand  Parlor 
Committee  for  their  many  courtesies, 
not  only  to  me  but  also  to  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Presidio  Parlor.  Their 
thoughtfulness  made  our  week  in 
Oakland  one  long  to  be  remembered. 

Of  course,  I  am  interested  in  all 
of  the  Projects  of  our  Order  and  will 
do  all  within  my  power  to  further 
our  many  activities,  but  my  primary 
interest  is  increasing  our  member- 
ship. 

This  is  our  Diamond  Anniversary 
and  it  should  be  the  year  we  re- 
member to  invite  the  many  friends 
we  have  always  intended  to  bring  in- 
to the  Order.  Tie  a  string  around 
our  finger  so  there  will  be  no  for- 
getting this  year. 

Please  re-read  your  obligation  — 
remember  your  promise  "to  promote 
the  interest  and  uphold  the  principles 
of  our  O  r  d  e  r."  If  we  keep  that 
thought  in  mind,  we  can  walk  hand 
in  hand  to  greater  service  and  a  bet- 
ter understanding. 

1  will  be  ever  grateful  to  the  mem- 
bers of  Presidio  Parlor  and  our  many 
friends  from  San  Francisco  County 
who  joined  with  them  to  make  the 
evening  of  Installation  one  of  my 
most  cherished  memories.  A  very 
special  thank  you  to  my  chairman  of 
the  evening,  Florence  Conklin  and 
her  committee  for  their  many  hours 
of  planning  and  hard  work  —  to  all 
who  had  a  part  in  this  wonderful 
evening,  my  sincere  thanks. 

I  am  looking  forward  to  sharing 
this  year  with  each  of  you.

PROTECTION  SOUGHT 
FOR  HISTORIC  BUILDING 

Greater  Federal  cooperation  in 
saving  historic  buildings  and  sites  has 
been  advocated  by  U.  S.  Senator 
Thomas  H.  Kuchel  of  California  in 
a  protest  against  lack  of  foresight  in 
planning  for  various  kinds  of  "im- 
provements" which  often  result  in 
destroying  significant  relics  of  the 
past. 

Strengthening  of  the  25-year-old 
Historic  Sites  Act  is  desirable,  the 
California  Senator  told  his  colleagues 
in  a  speech,  to  prevent  large-scale  loss 
of  early-day  structures  such  as  So- 
nora's  old  bank  and  hotel,  and  ro- 
mantic buildings  in  the  pioneer-era 
capitals  of  Monterey  and  Benicia 
and  other  places. 

Kuchel  proposed  that  Congress  lay 
down  a  policy  that,  before  a  Federal 
program  or  projects  helped  with 
Financial  Funds  can  be  undertaken, 
consideration  is  given  the  need  for 
preserving  any  historically-significant 
structures  which  might  be  affected. 
He  recommended  passage  of  new 
legislation  authorizing  the  Secretary 
of  the  Interior  to  make  investigations 
in  such  situations  when  requested  by 
such  groups  as  the  Native  Daughters 
and  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West, 
the  American  Institute  of  Architects, 
or  the  National  Trust  for  Historical 
Preservation.  The  Secretary  would 
determine  whether  places  involved 
or  endangered  have  real  historical 
value. 

The  Federal  Government  owns  a 
few  historic  sites  of  national  import- 
ance, such  as  the  home  of  President 
John  Adams,  the  California  Senator 
pointed  out,  but  does  not  follow  prac- 
tices which  would  aid  in  preserving 
places  with  local,  state  or  regional 
meaning.  The  procedure  he  advised 
would  bring  to  the  attention  of  Fed- 
eral authorities  responsible  for  im- 
provements the  desirability  of  pro- 
tecting other  historic  treasures,  he 
said. 

Kuchel  asked  whether  historic 
places  should  be  "indiscriminately 
'leveled  by  progress'  in  the  guise  of 
a  high  speed  freeway  or  of  crass 
'modernization' "   and   reminded  the 


Senate  that,  "Once  these  few  remain- 
ing ties  to  another,  earlier  era  are 
gone,  gone,  too,  is  a  part  of  our 
illustrious  history  as  a  state,  county, 
or  city.  Once  they  are  gone,  some- 
thing else  is  taken  away  as  an  inspir- 
ation to  our  youth  of  the  struggle 
which  our  fathers  faced."

COBB  VALLEY  SCHOOL  MARKED 

The  90th  Anniversary  of  the 
founding  of  the  Cobb  Valley  School 
in  Lake  county  was  celebrated  on 
Sunday,  June  4  in  conjunction  with 
the  Lake  County  Centennial.  A  Lake 
county  historical  marker  was  placed 
and  dedicated  to  the  memory  of 
John  R.  Cobb,  explorer  and  first 
settler  in  the  valley. 

Cobb,  a  native  of  Kentucky,  was 
born  May  19,  1814  and  came  over- 
land to  California  in  1851.  He  set- 
tled in  Lake  county  and  built  a  com- 
bined sawmill  and  grist  mill  in  the 
valley  in  1859.  Cobb  Valley,  Cobb

Mrs.  Shea  Accepts 
Grand  Office 

Waiting  for  the  nights  to  pass 
amidst  the  clamor  and  tension  of  this 
honor  that  was  bestowed  on  me  I 
thought  "My  life  depends  on  the  ser- 
vice that  I  can  give  to  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West." 

But  so,  of  course,  does  life  always 
depend  because  a  person's  experience 
that  means  a  most  important  moment 
in  his  life  is  dependent  upon  many 
people.  It  is  a  rather  fascinating 
thought  because  woven  into  the  tex- 
ture of  all  the  big  designs  of  life  there 
is  the  criss-cross  thread  of  family  and 
friends. 

During  these  moving  seconds  be- 
tween the  close  of  our  sessions  this 
day  and  the  installation  ceremony 
for  me  movements  ceased  and  a  hush 
fell,  but  for  the  presence  of  those 
closest  to  me,  my  loved  ones,  my 
Parlor  Presidio,  and  the  membership 
of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gold- 
en West,  there  was  a  breathless 
sound.  I  was  deeply  moved  by  the 
sense  of  what  it  means  to  be  Grand 
President  of  the  Native  Daughters  of 
the  Golden  West.  I  was  deeply  mov- 
ed, and  because  of  the  depths  of  my 
emotion  1  was  eager  to  be  clear  about 
my  depth  of  appreciation. 


The    appreciation    I   feel   for   this 
honor  that  has  been  bestowed  upon; 
me  is  not  merely  a  word,  but  one  with; 
an  almost  religious  depth.  God  is  in  ' 
each  man  and  the  extent  to  which  j 
that  divinity  rises  in  each  individual  : 
comes  to  realization  in  a  moment  like 
this. 

To  me  tonight  comes  the  realiza- 
tion that  the  beauty  and  goodness  in 
every  Native  Daughter  has  come 
naturally  to  flower  and  because  of 
your  kindness  1  stand  before  you  as 
the  Grand  President  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West. 

I  pray  our  Heavenly  Father  thai 
Presidio  Parlor  and  the  Native  Daugh- 
ters of  the  Golden  West  throughout 
the  State  will  find  me  worthy  of  the 
great  honor  that  has  been  bestowed 
upon  me  this  night. 

How  void  and  empty  would  be  m\ 
success  without  the  friendships  thai 
have  accompanied  it  over  the  years 
Our  former  leaders,  the  Past  Granc 
Presidents  and  the  Grand  Officer^ 
with  whom  I  have  traveled  the  road 
have  been  a  source  of  inspiration.  M> 
dear  friends  Junior  Past  Grand  Presi 
dent  Edna  Williams  and  PGP  Irmi 
Caton  have  filled  and  refilled  for  mc 
a  reservoir  of  courage.  They  stand  ir 
a  comer  of  my  heart  with  my  son  Phi 
because  they  put  the  heart  in  littk 
things  for  me.  Without  Phil  and  hi; 
understanding  and  particularly  so  ir 
the  illness  of  my  dear  mother,  I  woulc 
have  many  times  changed  this  roac 
that  gives  me  so  much  happiness  to 
night.  My  daughter-in-law's  under 
standing  has  been  a  source  of  en 
couragement.  In  sickness  and  ir 
health  and  in  my  fraternal  aspiration 
they  have  left  me  with  a  strange  en 
during  pride. 

Long  ago  when  I  sat  in  a  Californi; 
classroom  I  remember  particular!) 
my  history  teacher  and  lately  1  be 
came  aware  that  I  owe  her  a  debt  o 
gratitude.  She  taught  me  history  ii 
such  a  way  that  it  became  part  of  me 
Our  attitude  to  our  Native  Lam 
should  be  very  much  the  same  as  ou 
attitude  to  our  own  family. 

These  are  indeed  troubled  times  ii 
which  we  live.  Our  country  is  rigti 
today  facing  a  grave  crisis  but  be 
cause  of  my  love  of  country  I  have  ; 
belief  in  democracy  and  the  integrit; 
of  the  men  who  gave  it  to  us. 

We,  as  a  patriotic  group  of  Call 
fornia  born  women  have  a  speci;i 
Challenge  in  these  days.  As  we  stant 

CALIFORNIA  HERALL 


on  the  brink  of  the  Diamond  Jubilee 
of  our  Order  the  brilliance  of  that 
mark  of  time  pierces  my  mind  and 
heart  with  a  determined  purpose.  My 
program  this  year  embodies  all  the 
projects  sponsored  by  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West,  but 
the  keynote  of  all  our  accomplish- 
ments from  the  day  of  our  beginning 
until  now  dspends  on  the  membership 
at  large.  Therefore,  the  keynote  of 
my  term  will  be  Extension  of  the 
Order  because  I  believe  in  the  wis- 
dom and  honor  of  the  women  who 
mo  ded  our  Order  over  these  seven- 
ty-five years. 

1  will  be  ever  grateful  to  my  Par- 
lor for  your  generosity,  and  your  lov- 
ing understanding.  To  my  Chairman 
of  the  Evening,  Florence  Conklin,  for 
your  loyalty  and  hard  work,  and  to 
the  beautiful  escort,  for  the  long 
hours  you  have  spent  in  preparing  for 
tonight,  I  will  tuck  you  in  the  corner 
of  my  heart  to  be  cherished  forever. 

To  the  members  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Parlors  who  joined  with  Pre- 
sidio Parlor  —  just  "Thank  You" 
—  your  presence  has  helped  to  make 
this  evening  perfect.

it  seemed  in  those  days,  traveling  by 
horse,  cart  and  carriage. 

Father  Ubach  died  in  1907  and  his 
burial,  naturally,  was  a  big  affair.  His 
church  did  not  hold  all  who  wished  to 
enter.  Many  were  of  Holy  Orders, 
Priests  and  Nuns,  and  the  Los  Angel- 
es Bishop  was  down  for  the  Pontificial 
Mass  for  the  dead. 

None  of  my  family  were  living  in 
San  Diego  by  now.  The  house  on 
First  and  Ivy  Streets,  we  owned  no 
more,  as  Mother  had  moved  to  Los 
Angeles  several  years  before  and  I 
personally,  went  to  live  there  with 
Tia  (Auntie  Baker)  nearly  ten  years 
before. 

Fate  plays  many  wonderful  react- 
ive acts  and  after  Tia's  death,  I  re- 
turned to  San  Diego,  where  my  sister 
Marta  lived.  Six  weeks  later,  in  this 
very  church,  with  special  permission 
from  Bishop  Conaty,  for  Saturday 
evening  services,  my  husband,  John 
Jerome  Brennan  and  I  were  married. 
Mine  was  the  only  wedding,  up  to 
that  time,  October  26,  1912,  a  Sat- 
urday evening  wedding  with  special 
permission  for  Benediction  services. 

More  of  this  later,  in  my  own  story, 
as  there  is  still  so  very  much  to  write 
about.

dent of  the  Order,  was  accorded  a 
reception  in  the  Masonic  Hall,  Shat- 
tuck  and  Bancroft  Way,  Berkeley.

activities.  Mrs.  Williams  organized 
the  Parlor  in  May,  1939,  and  served

The  large  hall  was  filled  with 
representatives  of  other  Parlors  and 
friends.  The  decorations  consisted  of 
miniature  figures  depicting  the  pro- 
jects of  the  Native  Daughters  and 
large  baskets  of  early  spring  flowers. 
Upon  entering  the  hall  the  guests 
signed  the  guest  book  and  received  a 
program.  This  book  was  given  to  Mrs. 
Williams  later  in  the  evening.  In  the 
receiving  line  and  wearing  orchid 
corsages  to  match  their  formals  were 
Mrs.  Williams;  Winifred  McKee,  the 
Parlor's  president;  Nancy  Conens, 
Deputy  Grand  President  for  the  Par- 
lor and  Lola  Bredehoft. 

The  evening's  activities  opened 
with  the  entry  of  the  Parlor's  officers 
gowned  in  white  formals.  Elaine  Ol- 
son presided  for  the  opening  cere- 
monies and  Gloria  Conley,  the  Or- 
der's Marshal,  led  the  Pledge  of  Al- 
legience  and  the  singing  of  the 
National  Anthem. 

Mrs.  McKee  welcomed  the  large 
audience  and  introduced  the  many 
Grand  Officers  who  were  in  attend- 
ance, the  city  and  county  officials 
and  the  special  guests,  which  included 
several  from  other  parts  of  the  state. 
The  charter  members  and  the  Par- 
lor's past  presidents  were  also  pre- 
sented.

The  "Witness  Tree",  an  old  oak, 
was  used  as  the  initial  point  of  the 
United  States  government  survey  of 
the  Rcmcho  Laguna  de  Tache,  a  Mex-

to  Manuel  Castro  of  Monterey.  This 
survey  was  made  in  February,  1864. 


This  is  one  of  the  oldest  historical

ed by  Past  President  Jeane  Postier,

tee. 

The  Grand  President's  address  was 
on  the  many  projects  of  the  Order.  On 
a  drop  curtain  were  many  samples 
of  the  projects  carried  on  by  members 
in  the  State.  Probably  the  most  out- 
standing is  the  Childrens  Foundation. 
PGP  Jewel  McSweeney  gave  a  brilli- 
ant and  inspiring  talk  on  this  subject 
later  in  the  evening,  describing  the 
splendid  work  that  has  been  accomp- 
lished by  the  Native  Daughters  of  the 
State  to  help  crippled  and  handicap- 
ped children  whose  parents  are  un- 
able to  give  them  what  they  need. 
Almost  500  cases  have  been  helped 
so  far  this  year. 

PGP  Margaret  Farnsworth  of 
Vendome  Parlor  gave  the  greetings 
for  the  Tri-County  parlors.  May 
Hoover  is  president  of  San  Jose;  Idah 
Lyons,  Vendome;  and  Veronica 
Gothner  of  Los  Gatos.  Marie  Perry, 
of  San  Jose  made  all  of  the  hand- 
kerchief corsages  for  all  grand  offi- 
cers. Emma  Rutan  and  Amelia  Hart- 
man  of  San  Jose  were  honored  by  the 
Grand  President,  as  was  Sue  Mattel 
of  Vendome  Parlor,  for  50  year  mem- 
bership. Mathilda  Moak  was  given 
a  splendid  ovation  for  her  67 
years  of  membership  in  San  Jose  No. 
81.  Madeline  Malovos  of  Vendome 


Parlor  was  presented  with  her  25 
year  membership  pin.  There  were 
five  new  members  initiated  into  the 
Order  during  the  evening.  Wayne 
Banker,  a  member  of  San  Jose  No. 
22,  NSGW,  presented  the  Grand 
President  with  a  huge  bouquet  of 
flowers.  Mr.  Banker  is  a  past  grand 
officer,  NSGW.  Kay  Mohoto,  of  Los 
Gatos  assisted  by  Irene  Leal  and 
Daisy  Williams  of  Vendome  and  a 
committee  served  refreshments  at  the 
close  of  the  evening.

SAN  MATEO  COUNTY  LUNCHEON 

The  annual  San  Mateo  County 
luncheon  honoring  Grand  President 
Edna  C.  Williams  was  held  at  the 
Hilton  Inn. 

The  theme  of  the  luncheon  was 
"Paris  in  the  Spring."  French  poodles 
made  of  sisal  painted  in  pastel  shades 
were  used  as  favors.  Miniature  trees 
in  bloom  were  the  table  centerpieces 
and  Paris  posters  helped  to  carry  out 
the  mood.  A  fashion  show  was  the 
highlight  of  the  afternoon. 

Mayor  Douglas  Morgan  of  Mill- 
brae  extended  the  official  greetings. 
Grand  Marshal  Rhoda  Roelling  was 
in  charge  of  the  flag  ceremony.  Past 
Grand  President  Evelyn  I.  Carlson 
delivered  the  invocation.  The  Native 
Sons  were  represented  by  their  Third 
Grand  Vice  President  Joseph 
Oeschger. 

Among  the  distinquished  Native 
Daughter  guests  were:  Grand  Vice 
President  Alice  D.  Shea;  Grand 
Trustees  Lee  Brice  and  Wealthy  M. 
Falk  and  Past  Grand  Presidents  Or- 
inda  G.  Giannini,  Jewel  McSweeney, 
Mae  Himes  Noonan.  Emily  E.  Ryan 
and  Anne  C.  Thuesen.  San  Mateo 
County  dignitaries  present  were 
Superior  Court  Judge  Wayne  R.  Mill- 
ington,  a  Past  Grand  President  of 
the  Native  Sons;  Assemblyman  Carl 
A.  Britschgi,  a  Native  Son  and 
County  Recorder  Ruth  Kirsti,  a  Na- 
tive Daughter. 

Arrangements  for  the  luncheon 
were  under  the  direction  of  Super- 
vising District  Grand  President  Bette 
Grass.  She  was  assisted  by  Deputy 
Grand  Presidents  Louise  Lake,  Hal- 
liet  Michelsen,  Frances  Harris,  Lillian 
King,  Carmella  Allen  and  Rena  Lo 
Reaux. 


Little  Mary  took  a  stroll  in  her  grand- 
parents' garden  and  saw  a  peacock  strut- 
ting. Running  back  to  the  house,  she 
shouted,  "Oh  Granny,  come  look!  One  of 
your  chickens  is  in  bloom!"

lightful dessert  luncheon  featuring  a 
fashion  show  followed  by  a  card  par- 
ty. The  affair  was  held  at  the  Buena

flowers  set  the  color  scheme.  The 
fashions  were  co-ordinated  by  Nor- 
ma Ann's  Shop.

on  June  8  at  the  Governor  Pico 
Mansion  in  the  charming  atmosphere 
of  the  balcony  and  patio  of  the  man- 
sion. There  were  many  members  and 
guests  present.

held  in  September.  In  this  connec- 
tion, books  are  still  being  accepted

California  State  Park  technicolor 
movies  and  a  movie  on  WiU  Rogers

September.  President  of  the  Society 
is  Henry  Welcome;  secretary,  Leola

i  1_  'ss  Bertola  also  spoke  eloquently  on  the  sub- 
ject of  the  name  "California"  being  reserved  for  a  fully- 
equipped  first  class  battleship  instead  of  a  cruiser,  and 
introduced  a  resolution  appertaining  thereto,  which  was 
unaminously  adopted. 

(This  probably  led  to  another  outstanding  project 
of  the  Grand  Parlor  which  will  be  given  in  detail  at  a 
later  time  —  the  christening  of  the  battleship  "Califor- 
nia", and  the  presentation  of  a  plaque,  etc. 

On  motion  of  Mrs.  Tina  L.  Kane,  it  was  resolved 
that  we  recognize  the  ninth  of  September  as  the  official 
day  for  honoring  the  Pioneers.

And  so  ends  a  very  short  resume  of  the  years  before 
the  turn  of  the  century  —  busy,  fruitful  years,  I  am  sure 
you  will  agree. 

By  this  time,  many  projects  have  taken  form,  and 
complete  reports  will  be  given  on  them  from  time  to 
time,  as  progress  is  made  in  compiling  the  records. 

As  mentioned  in  a  previous  article  and  in  the  pro- 
ceedings for  the  last  Grand  Parlor,  certain  years  are  not 


yet  available  to  me  of  the  Grand  Parlor  Proceedings, 
and  this  will  delay  completion  of  the  work  of  the  special 
Committee  on  the  History  of  the  Projects  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West.  May  I  again  urge  that 
thess  volumes  bz  made  available  to  the  Grand  Parlor.

A  beggar  clutched  at  the  sleeve  of  a 
benevolent-looking   passer-by. 

"Ten  cents,  sir,  for  a  cup  of  coffee?" 
he  whined. 

The  other  turned  to  survey  him.  "Why 
should  I  give  you  10  cents?"  he  asked. 
"What  brought  you  to  this  sad  plight?" 

"A  terrible  catastrophe,,  sir."  the  beg- 
gar replied.  "Two  years  ago,  like  you,  I 
enjoyed  business  prosperity.  I  worked  in- 
austriously.  On  the  wall  above  my  desk 
was  the  motto:  Think  Constructively.  Act 
Decisively.'  Wealth  poured  my  way.  And 
then — and  then — " 

The  beggar's  frame  shook  convulsively. 
The  scrub  lady  burned  my  motto."

dog  suddenly  struck  th3  traditional  biid-in-

bag  walked  by. 

"Pardon  me,  sir"  the  hunter  said.  "You 
may  think  this  strange,  but  do  you  have  a 
bird  in  your  shoping  bag?" 

"No."  replied  the  man,  "but  my  name  is 
Partridge!"

members  of  other  parlors,  all  carry- 
ing small  bouquets  of  spring  flowers 
which  they  gave  to  the  honoree.  Dur- 
ing her  message  Mrs.  Williams  re- 
ferred to  the  various  projects  which

panist. Emery  and  Vivian  Johnson

to  the  City  of  Montebello  thousands 
of  civic  and  culural  minded  men  and 
women  from  all  parts  of  the  United 
States.  It  houses  the  first  and  only 
galleries  in  the  entire  area,  showing 
permanent  art  exhibitions.  It  is  also 
the  permanent  home  of  many  civic 
and  service  groups  and  other  organi- 
zations purposed  to  creative  and  cul- 
tural efforts. 

While  all  the  policies  of  the  Ranch 
House  since  1950,  have  been  formu- 
lated and  executed  by  Evelyn  C. 
White,  all  improvements  have  been 
likewise.  With  the  oil  wells  and  pro- 
duction, she  is  unconcerned,  but  with 
the  achievements  through  her  efforts 
and  those  of  her  associates,  is  her 
[life,  dedicated  to  the  Golden  State  of 
her  birth. 

On  June  11,  1961  Poppy  Trail 
No.  266  (formerly  East  Los  Angeles

plaque  to  the  Taylor  Ranch  House,

corded the  history  of  the  redwood 
bam  located  on  the  Taylor  Ranch, 
which  was  the  first  redwood  barn 
built  in  the  area  of  La  Merced  (now 
Montebello),  in  1898.  This  estab- 
lishes the  Taylor  Ranch  as  a  histori- 
|cal  point  of  interest.

AT  THE  BAR... 

(Continued  from  Page  2) 

Lawyers  who  were  experts  in  the 
defense  of  criminal  causes  worked  as 
diligently  for  the  indigent  as  for  the 
person  from  whom  they  received  a 
fee.  Incidentally,  no  lawyer  was  paid 
anything  for  his  services  in  an  "ap- 
pointed" case. 

As  our  population  increased  and 
the  "case"  load  of  criminal  infor- 
mations and  indictments  increased, 
it  became  obvious  that  a  public  de- 
fender was  required  so  we  followed 
the  example  of  other  densely  popu- 
lated counties  and  did  away  with  the 
old  appointment  system. 


Reading  or  watching  TV  can  help  make 
you  a  well-rounded  person.  But  do  it  with- 
out special  trips  to  the  refrigerator  or 
you're  apt  to  be  well-rounded  in  more 
than  ways  than  one.

A  DILL(Y)  OF  A  SITUATION 

It  seems  this  California  pickle  factory 
got  into  a  pickle  for  making  pickles  in  an 
agricultural  zone  which  was  okeh  for 
growing  pickles  but  not  for  pickling  pick- 
les. Now  they  and  their  agent  are  boning 
up  on  zoning,  so  pickling  pickles  won't 
mean   legal   pickles.

What  does  the  average  person 
think  of  a  prosecuting  attorney?  Does 
he  assume  him  to  be  as  vulnerable  as 
that  poor  prosecutor  who  gets  beaten 
regularly  each  week  by  Perry  Mason? 
After  all,  Perry  is  quite  a  genius  .  .  . 
never  takes  him  more  than  an  hour  to 
dispose  of  a  case. 

Despite  TV  stories  to  the  contrary, 
most  prosecutors  are  very  human. 
They  have  no  desire  to  accuse  an  in- 
nocent man  or  woman.  Moreover, 
circumstances  often  persuade  them 
not  to  file  charges  in  minor  cases  even 
though  the  defendant  may  be  guilty. 
After  all,  many  things  enter  into  a 
prosecutor's  mind  at  the  time  he  con- 
siders the  issuance  of  a  complaint. 

I  remember  a  case  that  came  to  me 
when  I  was  a  city  attorney  during  the 
Depression  days.  A  man  had  been 
caught  stealing  electricity  by  wiring 
around  his  light  meter.  There  was  no 
question  of  his  guilt.  He  told  me  a 
pitiful  story  of  unemployment  and 
hard  luck.  I  felt  sorry  for  him  and 
said,  "If  I  don't  file  a  complaint 
against  you.  do  you  think  you  can 
pay  for  the  electricity  you  stole?  You 
can  pay  back  in  monthly  payments." 

He  appeared  overwhelmed  by  my 
unexpected  generosity  and  thanked 
me  profusely.  As  I  recall,  I  arranged 
for  him  to  make  monthly  payments  of 
three  dollars  until  he  had  paid  off 
what  we  determined  he  had  stolen. 
He  agreed  joyfully. 

Sometime  later,  word  came  to  me 
directly  and  reliably  that  he  had  made 
loud  boasts  that  I  was  scared  to 
prosecute  him  because  he  had  "so 
much  on  me."  About  six  months 
afterward  he  came  to  my  office  and 
asked  for  leniency  for  his  brother  who 
had  gotten  into  trouble.  I  accused  him

THE  PICTURE  ON  COVER  is  that  of  the  survivor  of  two  navel  orange  trees  brought 
to  Riverside  in  1873  by  Mrs.  Luther  C.  Tibbet.  It  originated  in  Bahia,  Brazil  and  was 
imported  in  1870  by  William  Sanders,  who  was  in  charge  of  the  U.  S.  propogating

The  first  eucalyptus  trees  on  the 
Pacific  Coast  came  from  seeds  sent 
from  Australia  in  1863  to  a  Califor- 
nia horticulturist  by  William  Taylor, 
early  pioneer  preacher. 


The  first  bishop  to  arrive  in  Cali- 
fornia was  Francisco  Garcia  Diego  y 
Moreno,  who  came  to  San  Diego 
from  Mexico  on  December  11,  1841. 
He  established  the  seat  of  his  bishop- 
ric at  Mission  Santa  Barbara. 


The  first  carload  of  oranges  ship- 
ped to  the  East  was  sent  to  St.  Louis 
in  1877  by  William  Wolfskill.  He 
grew  them  in  Los  Angeles  on  his 
grove  situated  between  Third  and 
Fourth  Streets  and  east  of  Alameda 
Street. 


Sugar  beets  were  first  grown  in 
California  by  General  Mariano  G. 
Vallejo  upon  his  Petaluma  rancho. 
The  seed  was  brought  from  Mexico.

Mother's  Birth 

fiA  OFTEN  TOLD  me  of  the  ex- 
citement over  the  birth  of  my 
Mother,  and  the  repercussions  from 
Don  Cuevas,  as  they  called  Lieuten- 
ant Cave  J.  Couts  on  naming  her.  Al- 
though he  had  signed  a  written  agree- 
ment of  consent,  that  any  children 
born  to  him  and  Ysidora  would  be 
brought  up  as  Catholics,  which  was 
her  religion,  he  evidently  forgot  that 
all  of  the  children  would,  naturally, 
be  given  a  Saint's  name,  especially 
the  one  of  the  day  on  whose  feast  it 
happened  to  be. 

Well  —  Grandpa  was  still  at  heart 
a  rabid  Baptist,  but  finally  he  was 
calmed  down  by  simple  diplomacy.  A 
cousin  of  Grandma's,  that  he  was 
very  fond  of,  as  were  the  family,  stood 
as  the  baby's  Godmother,  and  so, 
Maria  Antonia  Couts  got  clear  sail- 
ing with  a  beautiful  name,  which  was 
also  her  Godmother's  name. 

This  relative  of  the  family  was 
Maria    Antonia   Arguello.    As    time

passed,  Don  Cuevas  calmed  down 
and  when  realization  showed  him 
how  narrow  had  been  his  inherited 
ideas,  he  really  expanded  and  was 
baptised  into  the  Catholic  Church  by 
a  really  well-known  priest  of  that 
time.  The  priest  was  known  to  so 
many  —  the  famous  Father  Antonio 
Ubach,  who,  through  all  the  years 
he  lived  in  San  Diego,  was  a  valued 
and  wonderful  friend  of  the  entire 
family. 

My  personal  memories  of  him  are 
so  clear.  His  first  church  —  a  wood- 
en building  on  the  Northeast  comer 
of  Fourth  and  Beech  Streets,  was 
called  Saint  Joseph's.  His  residence 
on  Beech  and  Third  —  a  rambling 
house  of  one  story,  might  have  been 
adobe,  with  a  big  yard  all  around, 


Maria  Antonia  Scott  —  my  mother  —  daughter  of  Col. 

Cave  Couts  and  Ysidora  Bandini,  was  born  in  Bandini 

House  in  Old  Town,  1854. 


AUGUST,  1961 


part  garden,  part  fruit  trees,  and 
palms.  There  was  a  picket  fence, 
always  very  white,  all  around  the 
church  property. 

Father  Ubach  often  came  to  the 
house,  and  how  glad  we  children 
were.  We  always  ran  to  meet  him 
as  he  came  up  the  hill,  to  be  greeted 
by  him  with  candies. 

These  delicious  pieces  looked  like 
gumdrops,  but  had  a  sweet  liquid 
inside.  The  taste  was  certainly  like 
rum.  At  least  I  think  it  was,  as  it 
always  reminded  us  children  of  the 
plum  pudding  hard  sauce.  It  certainly 
was  good.  So  far,  through  the  years, 
I've  never  tasted  others  of  this  type. 

To  go  to  confession  to  Father 
Ubach  was  another  treat,  because, 
childlike,  I  always  told  him  who  I 
was  by  name,  to  prove  I  had  been 
to  confession,  as  instructed  to,  every 
month.  Then  he  would  say,  "You 
are  a  good  girl,  Cayita.  How  is  your 
Grandma?  All  of  the  children,  etc., 
etc.,  etc?"  Then  —  "Goodbye  now, 
Remember  your  daily  prayers,  and 
be  at  church  on  Sunday." 

Father  Ubach  built  a  larger  church 
of  brick,  in  what  had  been  part  of 
his  yard  along  Beech  Street,  facing 
Third.  This  beautiful  church  was  the 
one  from  which  my  grandmother  was 
buried.  The  services  were  read  by 
Father  Ubach  in  1896.  He  had  also 
read  them  in  the  old  wooden  church 
for  Don  Cuevas  in  1874. 

Many  years  after  Father  Ubach's 
death,  I  was  married  at  Saint  Joseph's 
in  1912,  to  John  Jerome  Brennan  of 
Wilkes  Barre,  Pennsylvania.  By 
special  permission  from  Bishop  Co- 
naty,  we  were  married  on  a  Satur- 
day evening,  with  Benediction  and 
Vespers. 

And  in  1913,  our  daughter  was 
baptised  in  the  church  built  by  Father 
Ubach.  This  church  had  a  campanile 
or  bell  tower  built  on  the  comer  to 
the  right  as  one  entered  where  a 
large  beautifully  toned  bell  rang  out 
in  time  tor  the  Mass  services  every 
Sunday,  and  weekday  mornings,  and 
for  the  Angelus.  It  was  a  wonderful 
sound,  so  arresting  and  clear  over 
my  beautiful  San  Diego.

Grand  Officers  for  Diamond  Jubilee  Year 


SIpHE  Seventy  Fifth  Grand  Parlor 
;|j^  of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West  is  now  an  unforgetable 
memory  and  its  events  and  achieve- 
ments are  forever  inscribed  in  the  his- 
tory of  our  Order. 

HospitaUty  and  friendhness  were 
the  utmost  thoughts  extended  by  the 
hostess  Parlors,  Alameda  County  and 
Part  Contra  Costa  County,  and  these 
feelings  were  predominant  from  the 
moment  of  registration  on  Sunday 
until  the  final  departure  on  Friday. 
Under  the  capable  leadership  of  Past 
Grand  President  Irma  M.  Caton, 
General  Chairman,  over  one  hundred 
County  members  made  every  effort  to 
provide  pleasure  and  comfort  for  the 
Grand  Officers,  Past  Grand  Presi- 
dents, Delegates  and  Visitors. 

The  week  began  with  an  outstand- 
ing reception  in  honor  of  Grand  Pres- 
ident Edna  Williams  on  Sunday,  at 
the  world  famous  Kaiser  Center 
building.  Grand  Secretary  Irma  Mur- 
ray, chairman  of  the  evening,  intro- 
duced the  Grand  President,  Grand 
Officers  and  Past  Grand  Presidents 
as  they  were  escorted  to  their  seats 
of  honor.  Mr.  A.  B.  Ordway,  of  Kai- 
ser Industries,  accepted  the  beautiful 
American  and  Bear  Flags  presented 

PAQE  4 


by  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gold- 
en West  to  the  Center.  Grand  Presi- 
dent Edward  Both  presented  Grand 
President  Edna  Williams  with  an 
Award  of  Merit  for  our  Order  from 
the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West. 
Following  remarks,  the  White  House 
Department  Store  presented  an  enter- 
taining and  colorful  Fashion  Show 
while  refreshments  were  served. 

Monday  morning.  Grand  President 
Williams  presided  over  the  colorful 
opening  ceremonies.  The  hostess 
committee,  dressed  ahke  in  pink  cas- 
ual dresses,  were  introduced.  Sequoia 
Parlor  No.  272,  of  Berkeley,  pro- 
vided the  formal  escort  for  the  Grand 
Officers.  After  the  Grand  Officers  and 
Past  Grand  Presidents  were  intro- 
duced. Past  Grand  President  Anne 
C.  Thuesen  was  escorted  to  the  ros- 
trum to  receive  greetings  and  gifts 
on  the  twenty-fifth  anniversary  of  her 
presiding  at  Grand  Parlor.  Beautiful 
memorial  services  were  conducted  by 
members  of  Sequoia  Parlor  dressed 
in  choral  robes.  Monday  afternoon 
was  devoted  to  a  business  session. 
The  evening  was  free  which  gave 
everyone  a  chance  to  relax  and  visit 
the  downtown  stores  which  were 
open. 


The  first  order  of  business  on  Tues- 
day morning  was  nomination  of 
Grand  Officers  followed  by  a  business 
session.  After  the  elections  Tuesday 
afternoon,  further  reports  of  com- 
mittees were  presented.  Grand  Presi- 
dent Edna  Williams  and  Past  Grand 
President  Jewel  McSweeney  were  in- 
terviewed on  Wednesday  morning  on 
KTVU  Channel  2,  Oakland.  In  the 
afternoon  Hayward,  Fruitvale  and 
Argonaut  Junior  Units  exemplified 
the  work  of  their  Order.  A  most  in- 
spiring message  was  delivered  by 
Father  Noel  Maholy,  O.  F.  M.,  postu- 
late of  Santa  Barbara  Mission.  Grand 
President  Edward  Both,  NSGW,  and 
many  of  his  Grand  Officers  and  Past 
Grand  Presidents  brought  greetings 
and  best  wishes  to  Grand  President 
Edna  and  the  delegation.  The  Art 
Talent  Contest  awards  were  presented 
as  follows:  1st,  Robert  Armstrong, 
North  Salinas  High  School;  2nd,  Ro- 
berta Calvert,  Piedmont  High  School;

A  delightful  "Garden  Party"  was 
held  on  Wednesday  evening  in  the 
Regency  Ballroom  of  the  Hotel 
Leamington.  The  decorations  carried 
out  the  Garden  theme,  from  a  flower- 
ed arch  to  water  fountains. 

Thursday  was  devoted  to  winding 
up  the  business  on  hand.  As  the 
meeting  ended,  a  stirring  moment 
occured  when  Grand  President  Edna 
was  escorted  from  the  Auditorium  by 
Past  Grand  President  Irma  Caton  and 
Lola  Bredehoft  of  Sequoia  Parlor.  A 
standing  ovation  of  thanks  was  ex- 
tended to  Grand  President  Edna  for 
a  year  of  devoted,  untiring  and  out- 
standing service.  On  Thursday  eve- 
ning, Alice  D.  Shea  was  installed  as 
Grand  President  by  Supreme  Past 
President  Maxiene  Porter.  Presidio 
Parlor  No.  148  and  members  of  Dis- 
trict 21  assisted  in  the  installation 
ceremonies.  Installed  with  Grand

GOLD  AT  CATALINA 

A  small  gold  strike  took  place  at 
Catalina  Island  on  April  20,  1863.  It 
created  so  much  excitement  that  a 
mining  district  was  established  to  en- 
force mining  laws.  The  whole  thing 
proved  to  be  a  disappointment  and 
the  last  claim  was  filed  in  1865.

A  CALIFORNIA  FIRST 

On  November  5,  1911,  Calbraith 
B.  Rodgers  completed  the  first  trans- 
continental airplane  flight  from  New 
York  to  Pasadena.  Although  the  trip 
took  only  a  total  of  eighty-two  hours 
of  flying  time,  forty-nine  days  were 
consumed  in  making  the  journey.  The 
distance  was  3,390  miles.

A  C.VLIFORNIA  FIRST 

The  first  express  service  in  Cali-

The  Grand 
President's  Corner 


I  was  very  proud  that  my  first  offi- 
cial act  as  your  Grand  President  took 
place  on  June  25  when  I  placed  a 
wreath  at  Father  Serra's  statue  at 
Golden  State  Park  which  was  the 
start  of  the  185th  Birthday  Celebra- 
tion of  the  city  of  San  Francisco. 
Grand  President  of  the  Native  Sons, 
Edward  H.  Both,  was  the  prmcipal 
speaker  for  the  outstanding  program 
that  followed.  This  was  the  start  of  a 
week-long  celebration  commemora- 
ting the  founding  of  San  Francisco. 

It  was  my  pleasure  to  institute  a 
new  Junior  Unit  sponsored  by  Cien 
Anos  Parlor  No.  303.  Thirty-five 
beautiful  young  ladies  are  on  the 
charter  list  of  Estrella  Del  Mar  Unit 
No.  37.  My  congratulations  and  best 
wishes  not  only  to  Cien  Anos  Parlor 
but  to  our  Little  Stars  of  Gold. 

Once  again,  Past  Grand  President 
Elmarie  H.  Dj'ke  invited  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  to  par- 
ticipate in  the  program  commemora- 
ting the  arrival  of  Commodore  John 
Sloat  at  Monterey,  who  on  July  7, 
1846,  claimed  these  western  shores 
for  the  United  State  of  America. 

My  sincere  thanks  to  Past  Grand 
President  Elmarie  and  the  members 
of  Junipero  Parlor  No.  141  for  our 
lovely  luncheon  and  the  following 
entertainment.  I  hope  that  every 
Grand  President  will  be  privileged  to 
witness  this  inspiring  event  and  take 
part  in  the  memorial  services  at  the 
Sloat  monument. 

I  am  looking  forward  with  pleasure 
to  greeting  my  many  friends  in  Santa 
Barbara  at  their  pre-Fiesta  Tea  on 
Sunday,  July  23.  Also  in  August, 
when  we  all  join  with  Santa  Barbara 
for  their  Historic  Fiesta.

MODESTO 

When  the  Central  Pacific  came  to 
the  site  of  Modesto  in  1870,  the  rail- 
road officials  decided  to  call  the  sta- 
tion Ralston,  for  W.  C.  Ralston,  one 
of  its  directors  and  an  important  San 
Francisco  banker. 

Ralston  modestly  declined  the 
honor  and  the  townsite  was  named 
Modesto,  Spanish  for  "modesty." 

i         i         i 

SHIRTAIL  CANYON 

Shirtail  Canyon,  in  Placer  County, 
received  its  name  in  1849,  from  a 
miner  working  in  its  stream,  clad 
only  in  his  shirt. 

i        i        i 

YOU  BET  and  RED  DOG 

You  Bet  was  a  mining  camp  on 
the  middle  fork  of  the  Yuba  River, 
in  Nevada  County,  which  was  es- 
tabHshed  in  1857. 

A  number  of  miners  met  in  Lazar- 
us Beard's  local  saloon  and  dis- 
cussed possible  names  for  the  new 
settlement.  One  man  suggested  "You 
bet,"  Beard's  favorite  expression. 
You  Bet  the  town  became. 

The  nearby  camp  of  Red  Dog  was 
founded  in  the  early  'fifties,  and  was 
1  given  its  name  by  Charlie  Wilson, 
j  after  his  old  home.  Red  Dog  Hill, 
I  Illinois.  Red  Dog  was  ultimately  ab- 
Jsorbed  by  You  Bet.

HAYWARD 

I  Hayward  in  Alameda  County  was 
I  named  for  William  Hayward  who 
I  came  from  Massachusetts  in  1851 
'  and  inadvertently  settled  on  a  por- 

AUGUST,  1961 


tion  of  San  Lorenzo  Rancho,  believ- 
ing it  to  be  public  land.  The  Rancho 
was  owned  by  Guillermo  Castro. 
However  Castro  and  Hayward  be- 
came friends  and  when  the  town  was 
laid  out  in  1854,  Castro  named  it  for 
the  American.  Castro's  adobe  home 
originally  occupied  the  site  where  the 
Hayward  city  hall  now  stands.

CALIFORNIA 

For  many  years  there  was  much 
speculation  as  to  the  origin  and 
meaning  of  California.  The  mystery 


was  solved  by  the  well  known  Amer- 
ican writer,  Edward  Everett  Hale, 
who  revealed  his  findings  in  the  pro- 
ceedings of  the  American  Antiquar- 
ian Society  for  April,  1862.  Hale  re- 
lated his  discovery  of  a  Spanish  ro- 
mantic novel  printed  about  1510, 
called  Las  Sergas  de  Esplandian 
(the  deeds  of  Esplandian.)  This 
book  states,  "Know  ye  that  at  the 
right  hand  of  the  Indies  there  is  an 
island  called  California,  very  close 
to  that  part  of  the  Terrestrial  Para- 
dise, which  was  inhabited  by  black 
women  without  a  single  male  among 
them,  and  they  lived  in  the  manner  of 
Amazons.  They  were  robust  of  body 
with  strong  passionate  hearts  and 
great  virtue.  The  island  itself  is  one 
of  the  wildest  in  the  world  on  ac- 
count of  the  bold  and  craggy  rocks. 
In  their  land  there  are  many  grif- 
fins ...  In  no  other  place  of  the 
world  are  they  found." 

The  author  of  this  fictional  narra- 
tive, Garcia  Ordenez  de  Montalvo, 
describes  these  Amazons  as  being 
ruled  by  a  queen  named  Calafia. 

Apparently  Montalvo's  book  was 
a  "best  seller"  and  many  early  ex- 
plorers were  acquainted  with  it.  The 
word,  California,  first  appeared  in 
an  official  document  in  the  diary  of 
the  expedition  of  Juan  Rodriquez 
Cabrillo,  under  the  date  of  July  2, 
1542,  while  saihng  near  the  tip  of 
Lower  California.  The  name  first  ap- 
peared upon  a  map  in  1562.

A  prized  possession  of  Columbia

The  work  is  quite  complicated  and 
very  different  from  the  present  day 
ritualistic  ceremonies.  Beautiful  origi- 
nal banners  of  lovely  silk  and  satin

their  husbands  met  to  celebrate  the

SAN  FERNANDO  MISSION  PARLOR 

San  Fernando  City  is  celebrating 
50  years  of  growth,  with  the  birthday 
week,  August  23  to  30.  San  Fernando 
Mission  members,  who  hold  the  Pi- 
oneer tea  every  year,  were  asked  to 
make  this  years  tea  the  first  event  on 
the  monthly  planned  events  leading 
up  to  the  big  birthday  celebration. 
The  event  for  June  was  San  Feman- 
do's  Fiesta  week.  The  Parlor  sponsor- 
ed a  native  born  San  Fernando  girl, 
as  its  candidate  for  Fiesta  Queen. 
They  also  took  part  in  the  "Blessing 
of  the  Fruits  and  Flowers"  at  the  San 
Fernando  Mission  and  the  Mantilla 
Banquet  when  they  all  wore  Spanish 
costumes.  They  also  had  a  booth  at 
the  Crafts  show,  which  was  part  of 
the  Fiesta  program. 

The  tea,  held  at  Recreation  Hall  in 
San  Fernando  Park,  was  attended  by 
over  1 1 5  pioneers  of  San  Fernando 
and  the  Valley  area.  Mrs.  Phyllis 
Hirst,  Florence  D.  Schoneman,  and 
Matty  Gara  were  present  from  other 
Parlors.  The  oldest  pioneer  present, 
was  a  member  of  San  Fernando  Mis- 
sion Parlor,  Mrs.  Ramona  Shaug. 
Mrs.  Shaug  was  bom  in  1869,  one  of 
the  famous  Lopez  sisters,  daughters  of 
Catalina  and  Geronimo  Lopez,  Ma- 
jor-domo of  San  Fernando  Mission. 
Many  faces,  which  had  become  famil- 
iar during  the  past  years,  were  missing 
this  time  and  the  group  signing  in  the 
1870  to  1900  numbered  only  12. 
1 900  to  1915  there  were  60  residents 
and  the  others  ranged  from  1916  to 
1928.  Mrs.  Floriza  Husbands  was 
c  h  a  i  r  m  a  n,  assisted  by  Unavine 
Nicholson;  Edith  Butler  and  Carolyn 
R  i  g  g  s  were  greeters;  Ethelwynne 
Fraisher  was  photographer;  Vera 
Gale  and  Ida  Mayer  poured  and 
Ruby  Ann  Cannon  had  charge  of  the 
guest  book.  Dresses  from  1900  to 
1910,  belonging  to  one  of  the  early 
pioneer  ladies,  and  worn  by  her  to 
many  of  the  social  events  of  that  de- 
cade, were  worn  by  members  of  the 
Parlor.  Others  had  dresses  of  their 
relatives  and  friends.  Early  date 
photographs  were  shown  from  a  col- 


lection of  Ethelwynne  Fraisher,  and 
some  of  the  dresses  worn  were  in  the 
pictures  that  were  being  viewed. 

The  tea  table  was  decorated  by 
Estella  Maas,  a  former  member.  It 
was  outstanding.  The  table  was  cov- 
ered with  two  paisley  shawls  over  100 
years  old.  The  cut-glass,  the  sterling 
dishes,  the  silver  center-piece,  the 
sterling  figure  grouping  and  the  coffee 
and  tea  service  were  all  priceless 
antiques.  The  most  rare  piece  was 
from  the  collection  of  Estella  Maas. 
It  was  "The  Flower  Girl,"  a  china 
bisque,  150  years  or  more  old,  made 
by  RLS  in  Bohemia.

ffl  LMOST  THREE  YEARS  after  the 
JS^  beginning  of  the  project,  San 
Fernando  Mission  Parlor  No.  280, 
had  the  dedication  ceremonies  for  the 
placing  of  a  State  Historical  Marker, 
and  a  flag  pole,  on  the  grounds  of  its 
pioneer  cemetery. 

GOS  Andrew  Stodel,  NSGW,  was 
master  of  ceremonies,  and  taking  part 
were:  PGP  Eileen  Dismuke;  PGP 
Grace  Stoermer;  American  Legion 
Post  No.  176,  color  guard  and  drill 
team;  Girl  Scout  Troop  1585;  Oki 
Ton  Wa  Camp  Fire  Girls;  John  Ren- 
nie,  Jr.,  grand-nephew  of  the  donor, 
Mrs.  Nellie  S.  Noble;  Ruby  Ann  Can- 
non, Cemetery  Chairman  and  Ethel- 
wynne  Fraisher,  History  and  Land- 
marks Chairman.  Carolyn  Riggs,  Par- 
lor President,  gave  the  following  his- 
tory of  the  cemetery : 

"Today,  instead  of  the  jungle  of 
weeds,  and  open  holes,  of  the  news 
story  appearing  in  the  September 
1958  issue  of  the  California  Herald, 
a  different  view  is  present.  Trees  have 
been  trimmed,  some  removed,  new 
trees  planted.  Water  piping  has  been 
laid,  with  many  a  blister  and  sore 
back,  by  the  members  of  the  Parlor 
doing  some  of  the  actual  digging,  aid- 
ed by  their  husbands.  Truck  load  af- 
ter truck  load  of  years  of  filth  and 
trash  have  been  hauled  away,  and  as 
many  of  the  marble  stones,  as  could 
be  found  have  been  reset." 

But  in  the  years  between,  what  a 
story  has  unfolded!  What  was  started 
as  just  an  endeavor  to  awaken  civic 
responsibility  for   an  old  graveyard 


of  early  pioneers,  turned  into  a  major 
project.  The  Parlor  literally  ran  into 
one  stone  wall  after  another.  "Let 
sleeping  dogs  lie",  was  just  one  of  the 
few  remarks;  and  as  the  history  began 
to  unfold,  it  became  even  more  un- 
real. Part  of  the  cemetery  had  been 
sold,  then  resold,  and  again  sold.  The 
owner  of  the  sold  part  intended  to 
take  the  cemetery  corner  and  include 
it  with  his  portion.  Our  actions  upset 
his  intent  and  he  sold  it,  telling  the 
purchasers  that  they  could  take  pos- 
session of  the  cemetery  in  five  years! 
The  state  code  states  that  once  a  plot 
of  ground  has  had  five  or  more  bodies 
buried  in  it  for  five  or  more  years,  it 
becomes  a  burial  ground  from  then 
on,  and  cannot  be  used  for  other  pur- 
poses without  the  consent  of  every 
heir.  There  are  over  500  graves  and 
only  about  25  are  known,  so  consent 
could  not  have  been  obtained  to 
change  from  a  cemetery  status. 

We  turned  to  county  records.  In 
the  County  Assessor's  office  we  found 
that  no  taxes  had  ever  been  paid  on 
the  cemetery.  It  was  tax  free.  Taxes 
had  been  paid  on  the  portion  that  had 
been  sold  but  that  had  no  bearing  on 
the  cemetery  part.  In  the  Hall  of  Rec- 
ords the  deed  of  record  of  the  last 
known  owner  of  the  cemetery  was 
found.  He  had  died  but  his  relatives 
were  known.  We  went  to  talk  to  them; 
they  did  not  know  of  the  existence  of 
the  deed  and  they  did  not  want  any 
part  of  restoring  the  cemetery.  "Then 
will  you  deed  it  to  San  Fernando 
Mission  Parlor?"  So  with  the  services. 


donated  by  two  San  Fernando  attor-| 
neys.  the  title  was  checked,  and  in] 
November   of    1959,   San   Fernando' 
Mission  Parlor  was  given  the  deed  tol 
San    Fernando     Pioneer     Memorial, 
Cemetery.    Now   we   could    proceed  i 
with   more   speed,   we   thought.   No| 
water  meter!  The  Los  Angeles  De- 
partm-ent  of  Water  and  Power  inform- 
ed us  that  it  would  take  $1800  to  put 
a  meter  on  the  property.  So  we  went 
to  the  newspapers,  "Where  would  we 
get  that  kind  of  money,  and  just  why 
was  the  original  meter  removed,  and 
why  could  it  not  be  put  back?"  Pub- 
licity paid  off.  The  paper  was  hardly 
off  the  press,  before  we  were  told  that 
a  meter,  the  same  size,  as  had  been 
removed,  would  be  installed  at  no 
cost  to  the  Parlor.

Then  we  hired  a  clean-up  man,  to 
come  in  with  a  crew,  and  clear  as 
much  of  the  old  debris  and  buried 
barbed  wire  fence,  poison  ivy  clumps 
and  dead  trees,  as  could  be  done  for 
our  limited  finances.  Eternal  Valley 
Cemetery  at  Newhall  sent  down  a 
large  blade,  and  two  men  to  level  out 
the  ground  and  lay  roadways  to  re- 
store a  pattern  to  the  site.  Local 
plumbers,  Elk's  club  and  donations 
bought  the  water  pipe,  and  members 
and  husbands  dug  ditches,  cut  and 
laid  the  piping  and  hose  bibbs.  Sever- 
al work  days  during  the  past  two 
years  brought  volunteers  to  clear 
weeds  and  trim  trees,  but  progress 
has  been  very  slow;  much  still  re- 
mams  to  be  done. 

We  have  a  flag  pole  donated  by  the

AUGUST,  1961 


'  tVoman  of  ilje  Vear 


MRS.  J.  F.  Didion  was  the  re- 
,  cipiant  of  the  1961  Woman 
of  the  Year  Award,  presented  annual- 
ly by  the  Soroptomist  Club  of  Sacra- 
mento. A  native  Californian  and  a 
member  of  La  Bandera  Parlor  No. 
110,  NDGW,  Mrs.  Didion  has  a 
background  of  varied  interests  center- 
ing around  youth,  education  and  the 
preservation  of  California's  historical 
heritage. 


Mrs.  Alice  Huock,  president  of  Sor- 
optomist Club,  presents  Mrs.  Didion 
with  award. 

Among  Mrs.  Didion's  many  con- 
tributions is  her  work  with  the  child- 
lens  Foundation  of  the  N  D  G  W, 
which  aids  ill,  handicapped  and  neg- 
lected children  who  do  not  qualify 
for  welfare  assistance.  She  worked  for 
the  establishment  of  Youth  Service 
Centers  and  for  the  Eaglet  Theater 
for  children  and  has  served  as  a  dir- 
ector in  each  of  these  organizations. 
She  was  a  member  of  the  Governor's 
Youth  Conference  Committees  dur- 
ing the  last  three  administrations. 
She  actively  supports  the  Girl  Scout 
program  and  was  president  of  the 
Sacramento  Childrens  Receiv- 
ing Home. 

In  1942  Mrs.  Didion  was  appoint- 
ed to  the  Sacramento  Board  of  Edu- 
cation, and  during  the  years  has  been 


president  of  the  Board  three  times. 
She  served  18  years  and  last  year 
when  the  board  became  elective,  she 
was  a  candidate  and  was  returned  to 
lisr  post.  Her  interest  in  education  led 
her  to  wark  with  the  late  State  Sena- 
tor Earl  Desmond  to  make  Sacramen- 
to State  College  a  four  year  college. 
She  is  known  as  the  "Mother  of  the 
College." 

She  was  greatly  interested  in  the 
preservation  of  the  California  red- 
woods and  worked  for  legislation  to 
preserve  the  trees  in  groves  purchas- 
ed by  civic  and  fraternal  groups  and 
by  individuals.  Through  her  efforts 
there  is  a  grove  of  live  oaks  on  the 
State  Fair  ground  and  a  camellia 
grove  in  Capital  Park;  living  tree  me- 
morials to  Dr.  Mariana  Bertola,  Car- 
rie Rusch  Durham  and  Joseph  Know- 
land  have  been  planted  and  marked 
in  Sutter's  Fort  and  redwood  trees 
have  been  planted  and  markers  plac- 
ed in  Mather  and  McClellan  Air 
Force  in  tribute  to  pioneer  aviation. 

The  NDGW  Grand  Parlor  has 
recognized  Mrs.  Didion  for  her  work 
in  the  conservation  of  the  State's  his- 
torical landmarks  of  national  signifi- 
cance; for  her  lobbying  for  the  pass- 
age of  the  state  law  requiring  the 
state  flag  to  be  flown  over  all  public 
buildings  in  California  and  her  legis- 
lative work  in  declaring  Admission 
Day  a  state  holiday.  She  was  active 
also  in  suport  of  legislation  which 
adopted  '7  love  you  California"  as 
the  state  song. 

The  Native  Daughters  and  Sons  of 
the  Golden  West  through  the  efforts 
of  Mrs.  Didion  have  placed  a  plaque 
at  the  west  entrance  of  the  Capitol 
Building  in  memory  of  the  pioneers. 
Last  year  she  was  recognized  for  her 
contribution  to  the  Pony  Express 
Centennial  celebration. 

"As  is  true  of  many  who  labor", 
said  Mrs.  Alice  Hicock,  president  of 
Sacramento  Soroptimist  Club  in  pre- 
senting the  1961  winner  with  the  a- 
ward,  'Mrs.  Didion  did  her  work 
quietly  and  well."

THE  BASLER  HOME 


Back  in  the  "good  old  days"  we 
didn't  lubricate  our  car,  we  greased 
it.  And  believe  me,  greasing  a  car  was 
a  "real"  operation. 

We  didn't  drive  down  to  a  service 
station  to  get  the  job  done  because 
there  wasn't  any  such  establishment 
at  that  time.  Even  its  less  plush  pre- 
decessor, the  "filhng  station"  hadn't 
yet  been  bom. 

To  get  our  gasoline  we  drove  to 
the  rear  of  a  grocery  store  and  had 
the  fuel  poured  into  the  tank  through 
a  chamois  covered  fuimel.  But  the 
grocery  man  didn't  grease  the  car. 
Neither  did  he  clean  the  windshield 
nor  put  air  in  the  tires.  You  did  these 
things  yourself. 


To  lubricate  a  car  you  first  gave 
your  attention  to  the  grease  cups 
which  were  strategically  placed  so  as 
to  cause  a  maximum  of  physical  dis- 
comfort in  filling  them.  Most  of  them 
were  hidden  beneath  the  automobile. 
Being  in  the  days  before  car  hoists 
you  simply  got  down  and  scrounged 
around  on  your  back.  If  you  were 
ritzy  you  lay  on  a  "crawler",  a  two 
by  three  foot  board  mounted  on 
small  wheels  and  coasted  about  from 
grease  cup  to  grease  cup. 

You  screwed  off  the  top  of  each 
cup,  filled  it  with  grease,  replaced  it 
and  screwed  it  down  until  the  grease 
oozed  out,  a  slow  and  tedious  pro-

cess  compared  with  the  modem  day 
grease  gun. 

Draining  the  crankcase  was  a  mes- 
sy operation  which  you  usually  per- 
formed at  the  same  time  you  were 
beneath  the  car  feeding  the  grease 
cups.  You  unscrewed  a  plug  in  the 
bottom  of  the  crankcase  and  the  dirty 
oil  gurgled  into  a  can.  In  those  days 
you  flushed  the  engine  with  kerosene, 
a  practice  now  frowned  upon. 

The  next  step  in  the  lubrication 
operation  was  to  paint  the  springs 
with  a  mixture  of  graphite  and  oil 
which  eliminated  squeaks  and  made 
the  car  "ride  easier."  The  job  was 
completed  with  the  sticky  process  of 
replenishing  the  grease  in  the  differ- j 
ential  and  transmission. 

Yes,  greasing  the  car  in  the  "good 
old  days"  was,  as  I  first  said,  a  "real" 
operation.  Without  regret  I  can  say 
the  grease  cup  will  soon  be  an  an- 
tique, taking  its  place  on  the  shelf  ol 
memories  along  with  the  mustache 
cup.

I  was  a  deputy  in  the  Orange 
County  District  Attorney's  Office  in 
the  days  of  Prohibition,  the  so-called 
"Noble  Expermient."  Trying  bootleg 
cases  was  not  particularly  interesting. 
In  fact,  after  prosecuting  three  or 
four  in  succession,  one  became  decid- 
edly bored. 

Under  the  Volstead  law,  supported 
a  State  statute  known  as  the  Wright 
Act,  it  was  legal  to  buy  alcoholic 
beverages,  but  unlawful  to  sell  them. 
For  this  reason  a  person  buying 
liquor  could  testify  without  being 
considered  a  guilty  party  to  an  illegal 
transaction. 

From  time  to  time  the  District 
Attorney,  with  a  secret  fund  provided 
by  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  hired  a 
detective  agency  whose  "operatives" 
covered  the  county  making  "buys" 
from  bootleggers.  Their  purchases 
were  carefully  labeled  and  delivered 
to  the  laboratory  at  the  County  Hos- 
pital where  they  were  analyzed  for 
alcoholic  content.  All  of  this  work 
was  carried  on  with  the  utmost  secre- 
cy and  after  a  goodly  number  of  pur- 
chases had  been  made,  search  war- 
rants were  obtained  and  a  county- 
wide  raid  took  place.  Such  an  opera- 
tion required  minute  timing  and  syn- 
chronization. 

The  fruits  of  a  raid  varied  from  a 
few  pints  of  "corn  likker"  to  an  elabo- 
rate still  layout.  I  have  seen  some  of 
these  latter  establishments  with  huge 
wooden  vats  of  a  com  sugar  solution 
bubbling  merrily  from  a  generous 
contribution  of  yeast.  I  have  seen  the 
"cutting  plants"  where  "white  mule" 
was  mixed  with  water,  flavoring  and 
coloring.

SAN  GABRIEL  MISSIOI^J" 


THE  FOUNDING  OITp 


by  Dr.  Leo  J.  Friis 


issiON  San  Gabriel  was  the 
fourth  missionary  estabhsh- 
ment  founded  by  the  Franciscan 
padres  in  California.  It  was  first  locat- 
ed in  what  was  called  San  Miguel 
Valley  about  three  miles  southeast 
of  the  site  of  the  present  mission. 

San  Miguel  Valley  was  first  seen 
by  white  men  on  Sunday  morning, 
July  30,  1769,  when  an  expedition 
under  the  command  of  Governor 
Gaspar  de  Portola  pushed  northward 
through  the  Puente  Hills  and  came 
upon  a  plain.  After  an  hour's  march 
the  explorers  entered  a  valley  of  large 
live  oaks  and  alders.  Father  Juan 
Crespi,  chronicler  of  the  expedition, 
wrote,  "We  came  to  an  arroyo  of  wa- 
ter which  flows  among  many  green 
marshes,  their  banks  covered  with 
willows  and  grapes,  blackberries  and 
innumerable  Castillian  rosebushes 
loaded  with  roses.  In  the  midst  of  his 
verdure  was  a  good  channel  of 
water." 

The  stream  that  he  described  was 
later  called  the  San  Gabriel,  but  with 
the  development  of  the  New  River 
during  the  flood  of  1867,  this  water- 
course was  given  the  name  of  Rio 
Hondo.  Fr.  Crespi  was  a  keen  obser- 
ver and  predicted  that  the  river  could 
be  "used  to  irrigate  the  large  area  of 
good  land  that  the  valley  has."  Where 
Portola  made  camp  the  banks  of  the 
stream  "were  covered  with  water- 
cress" of  which  the  explorers  ate 
heartily.  "This  valley,"  said  Fr.  Cres- 
pi, "we  named  San  Miguel  Archan- 
gel." Here  a  mission  was  built,  but  it 
was  given  the  name  of  the  archangel 
St.  Gabriel,  not  St.  Michael. 

Father  Junipero  Serra,  president 
of  the  California  missions,  appointed 
the  Franciscan  padres.  Angel  Somera 
and  Pedro  Benito  Cambon  to  estab- 
lish San  Gabriel  Mission.  They  left 
San  Diego  on  August  6,  1777,  accom- 
panied by  14  soldiers  and  four  mule- 
teers in  charge  of  a  pack  train.  After 
making  a   study   for  a  suitable   site 

SEPTEMBER,  1961 


San  Gabriel  Mission  85  years  ago 


they  selected  the  location  in  San  Mi- 
guel Valley.  Here  under  a  brushwood 
arbor,  or  enramada  the  priests  cele- 
brated Mass  on  September  8,  1777, 
the  day  officially  recognized  as  the 
date  of  the  founding  of  the  mission. 

The  mission  site  was  well  chosen. 
It  was  near  an  oak  forest  which 
could  provide  ample  wood  for  the 
missionaries  as  well  as  an  abundance 
of  acorns  for  the  Indians.  Deer,  an- 
telope and  other  game  were  plentiful. 
Best  of  all,  there  were  some  forty 
Indian  villages  or  rancherias  nearby 
furnishing  a  fertile  missionary  field 
for  the  padres. 

Governor  Pedro  Fages  was  enhus- 
iastic  in  his  praise  of  the  site,  stating, 
"The  entire  locality  is  most  alluring 
and  offers  facilities  for  the  settlement 
of  a  few  families  of  Spanish.  These 
might,  without  prejudice  to  the  mis- 
sion, have  an  assignment  of  fertile 
fields,  with  places  adapted  for  all 
kinds  of  cattle.  They  would  live  in 
comfort,  and  with  them  we  might  be- 
gin to  have  hopes  of  a  very  import- 
ant settlement."  Fages's  dream  of  a 
Spanish  settlement  at  San  Gabriel 
never  materialized,  but  not  long  after- 
ward the  pueblo  of  Los  Angeles  was 
founded. 


From  the  beginning,  things  did  not 
go  well  at  San  Gabriel,  due  primarily 
to  difficulties  with  Fages  and  the 
worthlessness  of  the  local  soldiery.  In 
his  report  to  Viceroy  Bucareli  on 
May  21,  1773,  Father  Serra  describ- 
ed two  years  of  troubles.  In  the  be- 
ginning it  appears  that  one  of  the 
guards  assaulted  an  Indian  woman 
and  in  revenge  her  husband  sought  to 
slay  him.  Instead,  the  Indian  himself 
was  killed,  his  head  removed  from 
his  body  and  impaled  on  a  pole  as  a 
warning  to  other  natives.  Without 
question,  no  one  could  have  picked 
out  a  more  profligate  group  of  sol- 
diers than  those  at  San  Gabriel.  Fr. 
Serra  described  their  conduct  in  un- 
mistakably clear  words.  Conditions 
were  incredibly  bad.  When  the  padres 
remonstrated  with  the  soldiers,  they 
received  prompt  denials  of  wrong  do- 
ing, answering  the  accusations  of  the 
Indians  with  a  flippant,  "Let  them 
prove  it!" 

Although  it  is  probable  that  Fages 
was  not  fully  informed  of  the  conduct 
of  the  soldiers,  he  gave  liitle  credence 
to  the  reports  of  the  missionaries.  In 
fact,  he  could  properly  be  charged 
with  "double-dealing."

THE  BIRTH  OF  A  STATE 


By  J.  lessen  Friis 


/fiS|y\  N  THE  MORNING  of  October  18, 
sjjr  1850,  the  steamship  Oregon 
entered  the  Golden  Gate  flying  a  ban- 
ner proclaiming  that  "California  is  a 
State".  The  exciting  news  was  signal- 
led to  the  people  of  San  Francisco 
from  Telegraph  Hill.  A  salute  boom- 
ed from  Portsmouth  Square  and  a 
flag  was  raised  to  which  a  paper  star 
had  been  pinned.  An  impromptu 
celebration  continued  until  after  mid- 
night. 


California's  fight  for  statehood  had 
been  a  long  and  bitter  one  and  the 
outcome  of  the  issue  had  long  been 
in  doubt.  At  the  time  that  it  sought 
admission  to  the  Union  the  country 
was  made  up  of  fifteen  free  and  fif- 
teen slave  states.  The  South  feared 
any  change  in  this  delicate  balance  of 
power.  California's  new  constitution 
provided  that  "neither  slavery  nor 
involuntary  servitude.  .  .  shall  ever  be 
tolerated  in  this  State." 


It  was  small  comfort  to  men  like 
.John  C.  Calhoun  to  be  assured  that 
California  was  not  suited  to  the  in- 
stitution of  slavery  and  that  many  of 
its  most  influential  citizens  were  from 
the  South  and  were  in  deep  sympathy 
with  is  problems.  One  of  California's 
first  United  States  Senators,  William 
M.  Gwin,  himself  a  Southerner,  had 
a  conference  with  Calhoun  that  prov- 
ed distressing  for  both  men.  Gwin 
wrote,  "He  depicted  what  would  be 
the  result  of  the  admission  of  Califor-

nia  as  a  state.  He  said  it  would  de- 
stroy the  equilibrium  between  the 
North  and  the  South  in  the  Senate, 
the  only  safeguard  the  South  had  a- 
gainst  the  numerical  superiority  of 
the  North,  and  that  the  equilibrium, 
once  destroyed,  the  agitation  of  the 
slave  question  would  become  more 
intense  and  inevitably  result  in  civil 
war  and  the  destruction  of  the 
South. 

When  Congress  opened  in  January, 
1850,  California's  senators,  William 
M.  Gwin  and  John  C.  Fremont,  to- 
gether with  its  representatives, 
George  W.  Wright  and  Edward  Gil- 
bert, presented  their  credentials  and 
requested  that  California  be  admitted 
as  a  State.  On  January  29,  Henry 
Clay  introduced  a  series  of  resolu- 
tions commencing  with  one  which 
stated  unequivocally  that  "California, 
with  suitable  boundaries,  ought,  upon 
her  application,  to  be  admitted  as  one 
of  the  states  of  the  Union  without  the 
imposition  by  Congress  of  any  restric- 
tion in  respect  to  the  exclusion  or  in- 
troduction of  slavery  within  its  boun- 
daries." 

Senator  John  Bell  of  Tennessee  ob- 
jected that  the  boundaries  of  Califor- 
nia were  too  large,  that  its  constitu- 
tion was  illegally  adopted,  that  many 
residents  of  California  were  not  Unit- 
ed States  citizens  and  that  President 
Taylor  had  exercised  too  much  press- 
ure in  California's  bid  for  statehood. 

Senator  Calhoun,  whom  Senator 
Gwin  stated  "was  then  dying"  had 
prepared  a  speech,  but  was  too  feeble 
to  present  it.  Instead  it  was  read  by 
his  friend.  Senator  James  Mason  of 
Virginia.  He  elaborated  on  the  fears 
he  had  expressed  to  Gwin  and  ended 
his  address  with  the  stirring  words  "If 
you  are  unwilling  we  should  part  in 
peace,  tell  us  so,  and  we  shall  know 
what  to  do,  when  you  reduce  the 
question  to  submission  or  resistance. 
If  you  remain  silent,  you  will  compel 
us  to  infer  by  your  acts  what  you  in- 
tend. In  that  case,  California  will  be- 
come the  test  question." 

Daniel  Webster  made  a  masterly 
reply  in  which  he  opened  his  remarks 
with  expressions  of  regret  that  "An 
honorable  member,  whose  health 
does  not  allow  him  to  be  here  to- 
day— ".  A  voice  interupted,  "he  is 
here."  To  which  Webster  replied.  "I 
am  happy  to  hear  that  he  is — may 
he  long  be  in  health  and  enjoyment  of 
it  to  serve  his  country."  Webster  con- 
tinued, "I  wish  to  speak  today,  not 

SEPTEMBER,  1961 


as  a  Massachusetts  man,  not  as  a 
Northern  man,  but  as  an  American.  . 
I  speak  for  the  preservation  of  the 
Union."  In  urging  that  California  be 
admitted  as  a  state  he  argued  that  it 
was  not  geographically  suited  for  sla- 
very, but  impliedly  admitted  that  sla- 
very was  an  integral  part  of  the  eco- 
nomic system  in  growing  cotton.  In 
this,  he  incurred  bitter  criticism  from 
anti-slavery  fanatics  who  disapproved 
of  slavery  in  any  state.  In  Boston 
Theodore  Parker  compared  him  to 
Benedict  Arnold.  Horace  Mann  lik- 
ened him  to  Lucifer  falling  from  Hea- 
ven. 

Senator  Wiliam  H.  Seward  made 
an  eloquent  plea  for  California  which 
he  referred  to  as  "the  youthful  Queen 
of  the  Pacific,  in  robes  of  freedom 
gorgeously  inlaid  with  gold."  "Let 
California  come  in,"  he  urged,  "Cal- 
ifornia, that  comes  from  the  clime 
where  the  West  flies  away  into  the 
rising  east;  California,  which  bounds 
at  once  the  empire  and  the  contin- 
ent." 

The  argument  dragged  on  and  on 
July  9,  President  Taylor,  California's 
friend,  died.  A  few  hours  before  his 
death  he  whispered  to  his  physician, 
I  did  not  expect  to  encounter  what 
has  beset  me  since  my  elevation  to 
the  Presidency;  God  knows  that  I 
have  endeavored  to  fulfill  what  I  con- 
ceived to  be  my  honest  duty."  He  was 
succeeded  by  Millard  Fillmore  whose 
position  on  California  was  unknown. 
Senator  Stephen  A.  Douglas  called 
up  his  bill  for  the  admission  of  Cal- 
ifornia to  the  Union.  It  passed  the 
Senate  on  August  13  by  a  vote  of  34 
to  18.  By  a  vote  of  150  to  56  the 
House  of  Representatives  voted  to 
admit  California  and  two  days  later 
President  Fillmore  signed  the  bill. 
Therefore,  September  Ninth  became 
California's  birthday  and  is  so  cele- 
brated every  year  as  a  State  Holiday 
called  Admission  Day. 

From  an  early  date  California's 
birthday  was  celebrated  by  the  So- 
ciety of  California  Pioneers  and  in 
1875  the  Society  jointly  celebrated 
the  day  with  the  newly  organized 
Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West.  Four 
years  later  Governor  Irwin  signed  a 
proclamation  declaring  September 
Ninth  to  be  a  holiday  and  annually 
thereafter  each  succeeding  governor 
did  the  same.  In  his  message  to  the 
Legislature  in  1889  Governor  Water- 
man urged  the  passage  of  a  law  fixing 
September  9  as  Admission  Day.

What  fun  on  the  ferry  crossing  the 
bay!  Then,  onto  another  horse-drawn 
tram  crossing  the  entire  width  of 
Coronado;  getting  off  at  the  end  of 
the  track;  waiting,  while  the  driver 
of  the  tram  unhooked  the  horses 
from  the  catch  in  front;  drove  them 
around,  to  what  had  been  the  back, 
and  then,  he  would  wave  goodbye  to 
us  and  start  on  his  return  trip  to  the 
ferry. 

We  would  walk  over  to  the  big 
frame,  where  the  hotel  was  going  up, 
and  climb  all  over.  I  can  remember 
that  my  most  engrossing  search  was 
looking  for  a  big  nail  to  take  home, 
and  they  were  big  ones,  nearly  a 
foot  long  and  an  inch  square,  with 
funny  hand-pounded  flat  heads. 
Guess  they  were  all  hand-pounded. 
A  thing  I  had  not  realized,  until 
years  later,  and  that  they  were  called 
spikes,  but  from  ferry  to  hotel,  what 
a  barren  waste  land.  Nothing  but 
brush,  no  houses  to  speak  of,  cer- 
tainly no  ranch  and  this  was  in  1877 
or  1878.  I  still  see  those  big  nails, 
and  I  can  well  remember  poor 
Luisa's  chagrin  at  my  crying  till  she 
let  me  bring  one  home.

THE  MEXICAN  REPUBLIC  FLAG— 1823 


Violet  S'  /tit<M 


1958 


Agustin  de  Iturbide  had  ascended  the  throne  of  Mexico  in  May,  1822. 
Shortly  afterward  he  was  at  odds  with  his  Congress  and  he  sought  to  strength- 
en his  position  by  dissolving  the  legislature  and  forming  a  new  assembly  of 
persons  favorable  to  his  own  ideas. 

Unfortunately  he  was  unable  to  reconcile  many  of  his  old  friends  to  his 
point  of  view.  He  met  with  the  determined  resistance  of  several  generals  and 
desperation  reconvened  the  old  congress  and  abdicated  in  March,  1823.  He 
went  to  Europe,  but  returned  to  Mexico  the  next  year  and  was  killed. 

On  October  4,  1824,  a  new  constitution  was  proclaimed  for  Mexico 
which  united  the  sixteen  original  states  into  a  federal  republic.  When  the  first 
congress  convened  in  the  following  January,  General  Guadalupe  Victoria  was 
inaugurated  president. 

The  Mexican  Republic  flag  was  slightly  different  from  that  of  the  Mexi- 
can Empire,  a  change  being  made  in  the  wreath  around  the  eagle.  According 
to  tradition,  the  daughter  of  a  San  Diego  don  made  the  first  Republic  Flag  and 
it  was  flown  there  for  the  first  time.

GRAND  PRESIDENT 

Alice  D.  Shea  (Mrs.  D.  B.) 
1850  Woodhaven  Way 
Oakland   11,  California 


On  August  26  we  welcomed 
Areata  Parlor  No.  32.5,  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West,  to  our 
Golden  Fraternal  Chain.  It  was  a 
beautiful  Institution  and  Installation. 
Our  congratulations  to  the  Officers 
and  members  of  our  new  Parlor. 
-California  was  admitted  into  the 
Union  one  hundred  and  eleven  years 
ago.  The  Native  Sons  and  Daughters 
will  hold  our  official  celebration  in 
the  city  of  Long  Beach.  There  will  be 
three  days  of  outstanding  events  and 
we  trust  that  all  the  Parlors  are  plan- 
ing to  be  with  us  in  our  annual  9th 
of  September  parade. 

On  the  25th  of  September  we 
will  mark  the  75th  Anniversary  of 
the  founding  of  our  Order  and  we 
journey  to  the  town  of  Jackson  in 
Amador  County  to  join  with  Ursula 
Parlor  No.  1  on  September  22  and  23 
for  this  historic  event.  They  have 
contributed  much  to  our  Order  over 
these  75  years,  and  we  sincerely  hope 
that  they  will  go  on  adding  to  the 
social  and  cultural  development  of 
our  Order.  We  know  that  Lilly  O. 
Reichling  Dyer  and  the  thirteen  won- 
derful women  who  joined  with  her  to 
form  Ursula  Parlor  No.  1  will  be  with 
us  in  spirit  and  we  trust  that  our  ac- 
complishments over  the  years  as  an 
Order  have  carried  out  their  ideas, 
the  hopes  and  the  aspirations  that 
were  in  the  hearts  of  these  women  on 
the  night  our  Order  was  founded. 

Diamond  Anniversary  celebrations 
have  been  planned  in  many  areas. 
The  County  Fair  of  Los  Angeles  has 
designated  September  25  as  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  Day 
and  many  events  have  been  planned 
for  the  day.  culminating  in  a  dinner  at

DIAMOND  ANNIVERSARY 

The  Seventy-fifth  Anniversary  of 
the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West  was  among  the  first  items  re- 
quiring action  when  the  San  Francis- 
co County  supervisor  and  deputies 
had  their  initial  meeting  of  the  term. 

On  Friday  evening,  September  29, 
1961,  at  the  California  Club  in  San 
Francisco,  the  combined  Parlors  of 
that  area  will  celebrate  the  Diamond 
Jubilee  of  their  organization.  Under 
the  direction  of  the  supervisor  and  her 
deputies  the  history  of  the  Order  will 
be  unfolded  in  a  most  unusual  way. 
The  Grand  President,  Mrs.  Daniel  B. 
Shea,  will  be  the  guest  of  honor  when 
members  and  friends  gather  to  pay 
tribute  to  the  foresight  and  courage 
of  the  women  who  founded  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West. 

"Seventy-five  years,"  said  the  su- 
pervisor, Mrs.  Edward  Bianchi,  "has 
pointed  out  that  the  gold  of  California 
lies  in  the  service  of  her  citizens,  and 
the  women  of  California  have  cher- 
ished their  birthright  through  service.

PASADENA  PARLOR 

"Building  Bridges",  the  theme  for 
the  1961-1962  season  at  Pasadena 
Parlor  No.  290,  was  beautifully  il- 
lustrated at  the  installation  of  Zelda

ed pioneer  days  with  a  Mission  and 
covered  wagon,  and  the  future  with

nected by  a  shining  rainbow  for  in- 
spiration and  a  footbridge  'arching 
and  flood'  for  putting  into  action  the 
plans  of  the  Parlor. 

Dr.  Alice  Ashton,  DGP  from  San

The  highlight  of  the  evening  was 
the  program  presented  by  the  stu- 
dents from  the  Academy  of  Dance 
Arts  of  Helen  Avila  Baker,  third 
Vice  President  of  Pasadena  Parlor. 
In  keeping  with  the  theme  "Building 
Bridges,"  a  narration  was  read  by 
Mrs.  Baker,  as  dances  and  tableux, 
done  by  the  students,  depicted  the 
missionaries,  Indians  and  pioneers 
and  European  Emigrants  as  they 
were  spoken  of  in  the  narration  of

the  "Fiesta  Pequena"  at  the  Old  Mis- 
sion Santa  Barbara.  Their  week  was 
climaxed  with  the  colorful  historical 
parade. 

The  tradition  of  the  official  "Flow- 
er Girls"  as  hostesses  began  13  years 
ago.  The  true  spirit  of  Santa  Bar- 
bara's "Old  Spanish  Days"  hospitality 
is  charmingly  expressed  by  the  gay 
smiles,  swirling  skirts  and  colorful 
flower  baskets  of  the  Flower  Girls. 
Approximately  150  young  ladies  be- 
tween the  ages  of  12  and  not  yet  17

mada,"  under  chairman  Dorothy 
Mann  Lee.  "En  Ramada"  depicted 
an  early  California  fiesta  including

tual barbecue.  The  aroma  of  meat 
cooking  greeted  the  people  along  the 
parade  route.

ed by  Laura  Hilton,  who  raised  the 
funds  so  that  the  Senior  Past  Presi- 
dents could  be  so  honored. 

Joshua  Tree  Parlor  can  look  back 
on  a  year  of  success  and  wonderful 
cooperation  by  all  members.  All  com- 
mittees have  successfully  raised  the 
necessary  funds  to  complete  their 
projects.  They  have  had  three  din- 
ners, two  rummage  sales,  a  break- 
fast, luncheon  and  several  other  af- 
fairs. They  have  also  had  their  first 
historical  art  talent  contest.  Each  e- 
vent  has  been  successful  and  created 
good-will  among  the  members  and 
the  community.

EL  CARMELO 

The  newly  elected  officers  of  El 
Carmelo  No.  181  were  installed  July 
5,  by  DGP  Rena  LoReaux  of  San 
Bruno  No.  246  and  her  installing 
team  in  the  Blue  Room  of  Crocker 
Masonic  Temple,  Daly  City.

ed for  the  year  1961-62:  President,

Mackintosh,  Lewerenz,  Arci- 
mas,  Hulme,  Gray,  Romer,  Galvin, 
Biggio,  Cuneo,  Harris,  Michelsen, 
Hill  and  Koskela. 

The  theme  of  the  evening  was 
''Wheels  of  Progress  and  Friendship" 
and  at  each  station  was  a  wheel  with 
yellow  spokes,  the  rim  of  red  carna- 
tions and  the  hub  of  white  carnations; 
also  at  the  various  stations  was  a 
covered  wagon,  a  cart,  an  early 
model  automobile,  and  a  jet  plane. 
As  the  President  was  escorted  to  her 
station,  "Wagon  Wheels"  was  beauti- 
fully sung  by  Mrs.  Leanor  Gray,  fol- 
lowed by  the  formation  of  a  moving 
wheel  by  the  Escort  Team  under  the 
direction  of  Mrs.  Ellen  Pieri. 

Upon  assuming  her  office  the  Pres- 
ident stated:  "I  feel  very  humble  in 
accepting  this  office  and  I  assure  you 
that  I  shall  fulfill  the  obligation  to  the 
best  of  my  ability.  I  am  deeply  grate- 
ful for  this  honor  conferred  upon  me

elected  and  I  know  we  will  work  to- 
gether in  harmony. 

"May  I  point  out  that,  as  your  Pre- 
sident, I  would  be  insignificant  with- 
out the  help  and  support  of  the  other 
officers  and  also  the  other  members 
of  this  Parlor.  I  hope  that  each  and 
every  one  will  consider  herself  ap- 
pointed as  a  committee  of  one  to 
stimulate  the  growth  and  further  the 
purpose  and  principles  of  our  Order. 

"Our  theme  for  the  evening  is 
Wheels  of  Progress  and  Friendship. 
Without  friendship  it  is  difficult  to 
progress.  El  Carmelo  Parlor  has  pro- 
gressed for  5 1  years.  This  city  where 
we  meet,  Daly  City,  is  celebrating  its 
50th  birthday  this  year;  it  has  pro- 
gressed. As  Native  Daughters  we 
have  that  feeling  of  friendship  which 
enables  us  to  work  together  and  thus 
progress  in  our  own  organization,  in 
the  community,  and  in  the  state,  for 
we  have  that  friendly  pioneer  spirit 
which  has  been  handed  down  to  us. 

"All  of  our  ancestors  came  to  Cal- 
ifornia by  the  best  means  available 
at  that  time.  My  grandparents  all 
crossed  the  plains  in  covered  wagons 
a  little  over  a  century  ago,  and  having 
heard  many  stories  of  their  experi- 
ences, our  principle  'veneration  of  the 
pioneers'  is  very  realistic  and  we  ars 
all  proud  to  be  a  part  of  carrying  on 
these  cherished  traditions. 

"It  is  my  hope  and  desire  that  El 
Carmelo  Parlor  will  continue  to  pro- 
gress and  that  we  may  interest  our 
children  and  our  grandchildren  in 
continuing  this  great  Order,  for  it  ij 
by  example  and  'word-of-mouth 
that  this  interest  will  be  continuec 
through  the  generations." 

PGP's  Mae  Himes  Noonan  anc 
Evelyn  I.  Carlson  were  present 
brought  greetings  and  congratulatec 
the  newly  installed  officers.  SDDGF 
Madeline  Wallace  and  DGP  Dorothj 
Oeschger  of  Bonita  No.  10  were  in- 
troduced. Among  those  present  wen 
T.  Louis  Chess,  Supervisor  of  Sar 
Mateo  County,  and  Mrs.  Chess. 

The  "Friendship"  theme  was  car- 
ried out  in  the  banquet  hall  where 
everyone  enjoyed  delicious  refresh- 
ments. The  tables  were  decoratec 
with  pastel  garlands  and  a  pair  ol 
crossed  hands  in  the  pastel  colon 
was  at  each  place.  Chairman  of  the 
evening  was  Mrs.  Frances  Harris.

SEPTEMBER,  1961 


SAN  FERNANDO  MISSION  PARLOR 
DONS  TURN  OF  THE  CENTURY 
DRESSES 

San  Fernando  Mission  Parlor  No. 
280,  has  been  very  busy  participat- 
ing in  the  San  Fernando  City  birthday 
celebration  and  the  various  affairs 
that  had  been  planned  around  that 
event.  Members  of  the  Parlor,  dress- 
ed in  clothing  that  was  actually  worn 
in  the  1890  to  1910  period  have 
been  serving  as  hostesses  at  the 
opening  of  the  new  San  Fernando 
Valley  Bank.  They  rode  in  "Horse- 
less carriages"  dating  back  to  1902 
to  1910,  with  their  ostrich  plumes 
waving  in  the  air,  and  the  birds  and 
flowers  bobbing  as  they  waved  to 
people  along  the  streets.  The  "City 
Birthday  Luncheon"  was  served  for 
the  now  unheard  of  price  of  89  cents 
(for  a  complete  meal);  a  birthday 
cake  was  cut  to  serve  those  attending 
the  luncheon.  At  the  open  air  birth- 
day party,  held  Sunday,  August  27, 
they  served  over  5,000  cups  of  Ic 
lemonade.  Oh  yes,  the  cost  was  about 
5c  a  cup,  but  the  city  sold  it  for  Ic 
and  the  members  of  San  Fernando 
Mission  Parlor  poured  it  out  all  af- 
ternoon to  a  very  thirsty  group  of 
visitors. 

Next  on  the  Parlor's  schedule  is 
the  Long  Beach  Admission  Day  Par- 
ade and  the  Pomona  Fair's  Native 
Daughter  Day.  By  the  time  they  will 
have  completed  these  events,  there  is 
no  doubt  that  many  of  these  old  time 
dresses  will  be  in  need  of  repair.  The 
members  of  the  Parlor  are  endeavor- 
ing to  start  a  collection  of  dresses  of 
the  early  days  for  the  Parlor  and  are 
glad  to  receive  anything  from  "un- 
dies" to  dresses,  hats,  fans  and  old 
time  jewelry  to  put  in  their  colledtion. 
Please  contact  Carolyn  Riggs,  1303 


Glenoaks,  San  Fernando,  of  you  wish 

to  donate  to  this  collection  for  the 

San  Fernando  Mission  Parlor.

(Part  2) 

At  such  places  was 
usually  found  a  quantity  of  forged 
whiskey  labels  of  the  "old  genuine" 
enabling  bootleggers  to  pretend  they 
had  just  obtained  a  shipment  of  hon- 
est to  goodness  stuff  from  Canada. 

Along  with  liquor,  officers  usually 
collected  an  assortment  of  liquor  mer- 
were  often  permitted  to  plead  guilty 
chants  in  each  raid.  First  offenders 
to  illegal  possession  of  alcoholic  bev- 
erages were  fined  $500.  The  old- 
timers  were  charged  with  unlawful 
sale,  tried  in  the  Superior  Court,  us- 
ually convicted,  and  sentenced  to  six 
months  in  the  County  jail.  Cases  of 
possession,  heard  in  the  local  justice 
and  police  courts,  were  sometimes 
difficult  to  try  because  of  the  inept- 
ness  of  inferior  judges  and  the  pre- 
judice of  local  jurors. 

Of  course,  I  never  expected  to  ob- 
tain a  jury  verdict  of  guilty  in  boot- 
legging case  at  San  Juan  Capistrano 
because  so  many  of  its  citizens  just 
didn't  believe  in  prohibition.  This 
does  not  mean  that  they  were  not  in 
other  respects  law-abiding.  Incident- 
ally, 1  secretly  admired  their  frank- 
ness in  the  matter.  On  the  other  hand 
I  had  the  bad  luck  prosecuting  an  al- 
coholic possession  case  in  Orange,  a 
town  noted  for  being  "extra  dry." 
Somebody  on  the  jury  convinced  the 
others  that  it  was  lawful  for  a  person 
to  have  beer  in  his  ice-box,  providing 
he  didn't  have  more  than  six  bottles. 
Thereafter,  on  no  less  than  six  differ- 
ent occasions,  I  talked  to  jurors  who 
had  sat  on  this  case.  In  each  instance 
they  recalled  the  trial.  Perhaps  their 
conscience  hurt  them.  At  any  rate 
each  asked  if  it  wasn't  legal  to  possess 
six  bottles  of  beer,  providing  it  was  in 
the  ice-box.  Invariably  and  disgusted- 
ly I  told  them  that  it  was  never  the 
law  and  if  they  had  had  any  question 
about  it  at  the  time  they  should  have 
asked  the  judge  and  not  taken  the 
word  ot  one  of  the  jurors.  Gr-r-r-r!

GREETINGS: 

California's  colorful  history  is  an  essential  thread  of  the  fabric  of  life  in 
this  great  State  today. 

As  the  trails  of  earlier  days  have  given  way  to  freeways  and  the  miner  has 
been  replaced  by  the  skilled  worker  in  thriving  industries,  the  task  of  preserv- 
ing the  lore  of  early  California  has  become  increasingly  important. 

To  this  task,  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  have  dedicated 
themselves  for  the  past  75  years,  by  working  for  preservation  of  historic  land- 
marks, and  conservation  of  our  State's  natural  resources,  as  well  as  with  other 
worthy  projects. 

In  recognition  of  their  efforts  I  urge  all  Californians  to  join  with  me  in  ' 
observing  September  25  as  Founders  Day  of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  j 
Golden  West  and  in  commending  its  members  for  their  many  patriotic  ser 
vices. 

Sincerely, 

s/     EDMUND  G.  BROWN 
Governor

ijH  HiNESE  MINERS  played  a  signi- 
<!^  ficant  role  in  the  California 
Gold  Rush.  Accustomed  as  they  were 
to  low  standards  of  living,  they  were 
able  to  prosper  on  mine  tailings  dis- 
carded by  white  men  and  on  claims 
considered  unprofitable  by  other  min- 
ers. 

White  men  resented  their  presence 
and  enacted  discriminatory  license 
[  laws  in  an  effort  to  drive  them  from 
I  the  mines.  The  State  Legislature  pass- 
;  ed  a  law  prohibiting  Chinese  from 
i  testifying  against  a  Caucasian  in  a 
1  law  suit. 

j  Despite  these  handicaps  many  of 
the  Orientals  managed  to  continue 
their   search   for   gold.   However,    a 

OCTOBER,  1961 


large  number  established  wash 
houses.  Some  became  cooks.  Others 
were  successful  truck  farmers.  They 
lived  to  themselves,  had  their  own 
stores,  operated  their  own  gambling 
houses  and  had  their  own  slave  girls. 

Like  other  people  they  had  their 
differences  which  occasionally  ex- 
ploded violently  as  at  Chinese  Camp, 
in  Tuolumne  County,  where  some 
3,000  Celestials  fought  all  day  with 
spears,  swords,  and  stink  bombs,  end- 
ing with  casualties  of  four  dead  and 
four  wounded. 

Without  doubt  the  most  spectacu- 
lar fight  of  all  occurred  at  Weaver- 
ville  at  what  was  called  the  Battle  of 
Five  Cent  Gulch.  Here  a  group  of 


Cantonese  struggled  against  an  "ar- 
my" of  Hong  Kongs.  About  two- 
thirds  of  them  wore  specially  con- 
structed tin  hats  for  helmets.  Most  of 
them  were  armed  with  pikes.  A  num- 
ber possessed  squirt  guns  loaded  with 
nauseous  liquids.  With  a  hugh  crowd 
of  miners  as  spectators,  who  cheered 
as  though  they  were  at  a  ball  game, 
the  Orientals  maneouvered  about  the 
field.  Seven  men  were  killed  and 
twenty  wounded.  One  of  the  dead  had 
been  shot  by  a  drunken  white  man 
who  had  demanded  action  from  the 
sparring  units.  (He  was  immediately 
shot  in  the  head  by  another  bystander 
for  his  unsportsmanlike  conduct!)

ISHI^  HE  Native  Daughters  of  the 
~JL  Golden  West  have  lost  one  of 
their  most  ardent  suporters.  Miss 
Grace  S.  Stoermer,  Past  Grand  Presi- 
dent, died  suddenly  at  her  home  in 
Los  Angeles  on  October  first. 

Hers  was  a  life  of  unstinted  devo- 
tion to  her  Church,  her  State,  her 
community  and  to  her  fellow  man. 
Few  people  could  rise  to  the  promin- 
ence that  she  attained  and  never  lose 
the  common  touch.  Yet,  with  all  the 
honors  justly  bestowed  upon  her,  she 
never  changed. 

Three  years  ago  the  State  Legisla- 
ture unanimously  adopted  a  resolu- 
tion paying  her  a  glowing  tribute.  The 
City  Council  of  Los  Angeles  present- 
ed her  with  a  testimonial  for  her 
service  in  founding  Girls'  Week. 

She  had  served  as  secretary  of  the 
State  Senate.  As  a  member  of  the 
California  Commission,  National  Sta- 
tuary Hall,  Washington  D.C.,  she  was 

PAGE  4 


largely  instrumental  in  the  selection 
of  Fr.  J  u  n  i  p  e  r  o  Serra  and  Rev. 
Thomas  Starr  King  as  California's 
representatives  in  the  Hall  of  Fame. 
In  1932  she  presided  at  the  ceremon- 
ies at  the  National  Capitol  when  the 
statues  of  those  illustrious  men  were 
presented  and  dedicated. 

Miss  Stoermer  was  a  past  presi- 
dent of  the  National  Association  of 
Bank  Women,  of  the  Business  and 
Professional  Women's  Club,  the  Sor- 
optomist  Club  and  the  Women's  di- 
vision of  the  Los  Angeles  Chamber 
of  Commerce.  She  was  chairman  of 
the  Los  Angeles  County  Council  of 
Women's  Organizations  and  of  the 
March  of  Dimes  Women's  Division. 

As  executive  director  of  El  Pueblo 
de  Los  Angeles  she  had  taken  great 
interest  in  restoring  the  Old  Plaza. 
She  served  as  State  Chairman  of  the 
Serra  Sesquccntcnnial  in  California, 
Chairman  of  the  Women's  Division 
of  the  Republican  National  Commit- 


tee for  California,  Hostess  for  Cali- 
fornia during  the  Tenth  Olympiad, 
Chairman  of  the  Women's  Division 
of  the  Los  Angeles  Stock  Exchange: 
and  Vice-President  of  the  Historical 
Society  of  California.  At  the  time  of 
her  death  she  was  president  of  the 
Past  Grand  Presidents  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West. 

Miss  Stoermer  served  two  terms 
as  Chairman  of  the  California  Herald 
Magazine  Committee  and  her  steady 
support  of  the  California  Herald  nev- 
er wavered  nor  waned.  Through  the 
years  she  has  been  a  firm  friend  ol 
the  membrrs  of  the  magazine  staff. 

To  know  Grace  S.  Stoermer  was  i 
great  privilege.  To  have  received  ; 
hearty  welcome   at  her  home   is   i, 
memory  to  be  gratefully  cherished^ 
Somehow  we  feel  that  she  will  bfj 
waiting  to  greet  us  with  outstretchcc 
arms  when  we  join  her  in  life's  ncx 
great  adventure.

GRAND  PRESIDENT 

Alice  D.  Shea  (Mrs.  D.  B.) 
1850  Woodhaven  Way 
Oakland   11,  California 


September  was  an  eventful  month. 
Our  State  celebrated  its  111th  Birth- 
day in  the  city  of  Long  Beach  in  a 
manner  which  will  be  long  remember- 
ed. On  September  16,  Copa  de  Oro 
No.  105  of  Hollister  honored  their 
esteemed  member,  Past  Grand  Presi- 
dent Bertha  A.  Briggs  and  presented 
her  with  a  Fifty  Year  Pin. 

On  the  22nd  and  23rd  of  Sep- 
tember Native  Daughters  throughout 
the  State  gathered  in  Jackson,  Ama- 
dor County,  to  join  Ursula  Parlor  No. 
1,  to  celebrate  the  seventy-fifth  anni- 
versary of  the  founding  of  our  Order. 

It  was  with  pleasure  I  joined  with 
Eschscholtzia  No.  1 12,  Etna,  for  my 
first  oflflcial  visit.  On  October  7  and  8 
the  Junior  Conference  was  held  in 
San  Francisco.  Also  on  October  8 
we  travelled  to  Soledad  for  the  an- 
nual Fiesta.  Many  Native  Daughters 
and  their  friends  attended  the  Mass  at 
Mission  Soledad  to  view  the  progress 
being  made  to  restore  the  Mission. 

It  does  not  seem  possible  that  al- 
ready three  months  of  my  year  has 
passed  and  I  am  looking  forward  to 
greeting  each  of  you  in  your  own  Par- 
lors. Let  us  endeavor  to  increase  our 
membership  —  we  have  so  much  to 
offer.  I  would  like  to  correct  the  name 
of  the  new  Junior  Unit  to  read  Estrel- 
la  de  Oro  (Little  Stars  of  Gold)  No. 
37,  rather  than  Estrella  Del  Mar  as 
stated  in  my  column  in  August.

The  Orizaba 

The  steamer,  Orizaba,  plyed  from 
San  Francisco  to  San  Diego.  Flora 
Golsh,  a  teacher  at  the  Indian  School 
at  Temecula  loved  to  swim.  When  a 
passenger  on  the  Orizaba,  she  would 
don  her  bathing  suit  and  as  the  steam- 
er came  through  the  straits  between 
Point  Loma  and  North  Island  passing 
BaUast  Point,  she  would  jump  over- 
board into  the  bay  and  swim  to  the 
wharf  arriving  before  the  Orizaba. 

She  was  a  remarkable  woman  and 
our  first  channel  swimmer.  All  en- 
vied her  strength  in  the  water.  Result: 
I  grew  up  hearing  all  about  Flora 
Golsh  and  knowing  her  personally.

The  Horton  House 

For  years  San  Diego's  best  hotel 
with  its  plaza,  was  the  Horton  House. 
My  grandfather  Couts  died  here  in 
1874.  In  1910  when  I  came  on  a 
visit  to  my  sister  that  winter  following 
my  return  from  a  year  in  Europe,  the 
old  Horton  House  had  been  torn 
down.  In  its  place  the  foundation 
and  wall  braces  for  the  U.  S.  Grant 
hotel  were  going  up.  The  past  was 
fading  fast.

A  CALIFORNIA  FIRST 

The  first  Christian  religious  service 
in  California  was  conducted  by  Sir 
Francis  Drake,  at  Drake's  Bay,  a 
short  distance  north  of  what  is  now 
San  Francisco. 

Drake  landed  here  on  June  15, 
1579,  took  possession  of  the  land  in 
the  name  of  Queen  Elizabeth  and 
called  it  New  Albion. 


A  CALIFORNIA  FIRST 

The  first  white  man  to  set  foot  on 
California  was  Hernando  de  Alcaron, 
who  on  May  9,  1540,  left  Acapulco, 
Mexico,  with  two  ships  to  cooperate 
with  the  search  of  Coronado  for  the 
fabulous  cities  of  Cibola. 

He  set  sail  up  the  Gulf  of  Califor- 
nia and  reached  the  mouth  of  the 
Colorado  River  on  about  August  17. 
About  a  week  later  he  and  some  of 
his  party  made  their  way  up  the  river 
to  its  junction  with  the  Gila  River. 
There  he  anchored  on  the  western 
side  of  the  Colorado  River  and  thus 
stood  on  California  soil. 


A  CALIFORNIA  FIRST 

The  first  organ  brought  to  Cali- 
fornia was  of  the  barrel  variety.  It 
was  presented  by  the  English  ex- 
plorer, Captain  George  Vancouver, 
to  Fermin  de  Lasuen,  father  presi- 
dent of  the  missions,  at  San  Diego, 
in  December,  1793. 

The  organ  is  of  English  make  and 
bears  the  manufacturer's  label, 
"Dobbs,  22  Swan  St.,  London." 

It  was  taken  to  San  Carlos  Mis- 
sion and  is  now  at  Mission  San  Juan 
Bautista.

The  captain  wrote  in  the  ship's  log: 
"First  mate  was  drunk  today."  After 
sobering  up,  the  mate  went  to  the  captain 
and  pleaded  with  him  to  strike  out  the 
record. 

"It  was  the  first  time  in  my  life  I've 
been  drunk,"  he  pleaded,  "and  I  promise 
never  to  do  it  again." 

"In  this  log  we  write  only  the  truth," 
stormed  the  skipper. 

Next  day  it  was  the  mate's  turn  to  keep 
the  log,  and  in  it  he  wrote,  "Captain  was 
sober  today."

The  rabid  golfer  was  eating  a  late  dinner 
and  talking  with  his  wife  as  she  served 
him. 

"Junior  was  telling  me  that  he  caddied 
for  you  this  afternoon,"  she  informed  him. 

Junior's  father  pondered  a  moment  then 
his  expression  cleared.  "That  explains  it," 
he  cried.  "You  know,  I  thought  I'd  seen 
that  boy  somewhere  before."

CHINESE  TEMPLE  .  .  . 

{Continued  from  Page  3) 

The  Chinese  brought  with  them 
their  religious  customs  and  beliefs.  At 
Weaverville,  where  they  numbered 
2,500  in  1852,  they  built  a  house  of 
worship  which  they  called  "The  Tem- 
ple of  the  Forest  and  the  Clouds." 
Here  the  faithful  worshipped  their 
ancestors.  This  pioneer  joss  house 
was  destroyed  by  fire  in  1873  and  im- 
mediately rebuilt  in  the  following 
year. 

The  new  structure  was  beautifully 
furnished  with  carvings  and  paintings 
imported  from  China.  Its  most  pre- 
cious possessions  were  three  carved 
altars  upon  which  rested  clay  images 
of  Chinese  gods.  The  new  temple  was 
dedicated  on  April  18,  1874. 

This  old  joss  house  was  deeded  to 
the  State  of  California  on  March  15, 
1956,  and  is  now  a  State  Historical 
Monument.  It  was  given  by  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Moon  Lee.  Mr.  Lee  is  a  well  re- 
spected business  man  of  Weaverville. 
His  father  was  one  of  the  builders  of 
the  venerable  temple.  Through  his 
generosity  and  the  interest  of  the  Di- 
vision of  Beaches  and  Parks  of  Cali- 
fornia, a  valuable  memento  of  the 
past  will  be  preserved.

"H^.  Jlc^" 


Lawyers  continue  to  have  inter- 
esting and  comical  experiences.  Using 
the  words  of  a  well  known  TV  pro- 
gram, they  occasionally  "ask  for  it." 

A  few  days  ago  Orange  County 
District  Attorney  Kenneth  Williams 
stepped  across  the  street  to  the 
YMCA  for  a  cup  of  coffee.  As  he  was 
enjoying  small  conversation  with 
other  court  attaches  a  young  deputy 
from  the  Anaheim-FuUerton  Mar- 
shal's office  tapped  him  on  the  shoul- 
der and  asked,  "Are  you  Ben 
Roach?" 

Somehow,  the  question  tickled 
Wilhams'  "funny  bone"  and  he  ans- 
wered solemnly,  "No,  m.y  name  is 
Cockroach." 

Apparently  the  young  peace  offi- 
cer did  not  appreciate  Williams'  hu- 
mor and  he  replied,  "You're  under 
arrest!" 

Assuming  that  some  news  reporters 
or  other  practical  jokers  had  planned 
some  kind  of  a  stunt,  Williams  enter- 
ed into  the  spirit  of  the  affair.  Wink- 
ing to  some  friends,  he  said,  "Do  you 
mind  if  I  finish  my  coffee?" 

"No,"  was  the  reply,  "but  hurry 
along." 

A  few  minutes  later  the  young  dep- 
uty escorted  Williams  into  the  lobby 
of  the  building,  placed  him  against  a 
wall  with  arms  outstretched  and 
"frisked"  him  in  efficient  TV  style. 
Finding  no  gun  the  deputy  produced 
a  pair  of  handcuffs  with  which  to 
manacle  his  prisoner, 

"Wait  a  minute,"  said  Williams, 
"don't  you  think  you  had  beter  check 
again  on  my  identification?" 

The  deputy  reexamined  the  con- 
tents of  Williams'  wallet  and  spied 
his  State  Bar  dues  receipt.  "Huh," 
snorted,  "so  you're  a  lawyer?" 

"Yes,"  answered  the  prosecutor.

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


The  Chrysopolis  at  the  Sacramento  waterfront  in  1866 


BURiNG  THE  Gold  Rush  days, 
California's  big  rivers  were  the 
thoroughfares  by  which  the  eager 
Argonauts  reached  the  mining  re- 
gions. River  navigation  by  steamboat 
began  in  1847  when  William  A.  Lei- 
desdorff  acquired  the  Russian  steam- 
er Sitka,  an  unpredictable  little  craft, 
only  thirty-seven  feet  in  length.  On 
November  29  this  tiny  ship  left  San 
Francisco  Bay  for  Sacramento,  the 
domain  of  John  A.  Sutter,  then  called 
New  Helvetia.  It  took  her  six  days 
and  seven  hours  to  complete  the  trip! 
According  to  the  Daily  Alta  Califor- 
nia she  was  so  slow  that  a  team  of 
oxen  beat  her  down  stream  to  Beni- 
cia. 

Many  fine,  as  well  as  nondescript, 
craft  succeeded  the  Sitka  on  the  river 
runs,  but  none  surpassed  the  Chryso- 
polis in  beauty,  speed  or  stability. 
This  stalwart  ship,  whose  name 
means  Golden  City,  was  built  in  1 860 
by  John  North  for  the  California 
Stream  Navigation  Company. 

A  large  crowd  gathered  at  the  ship- 
yard on  the  moonlit  evening  of  June 
second  when  she  gracefully  slipped 
down  the  launching  ways.  She  was 
245  feet  in  length  and  had  a  beam  of 
forty  feet.  Her  engine  was  of  a  single- 
cylindered,  vertical-beam  type  pow- 
ered by  two  boilers.  Her  paddle 
wheels  were  36  feet  in  diameter  with 
eight  foot  buckets.  For  speed,  she 
was  faster  than  anything  on  the  river, 
making  the  all  time  record  of  five 
hours  and  19  minutes  from  Sacra- 
mento   to    San    Francisco    on    New 

NOVEMBER,  1961 


Year's  Eve,  1861.  She  could  carry 
over  1,000  passengers  and  700  tons 
of  cargo. 

After  her  launching  the  Chrysopolis 
was  towed  to  Benicia  for  completion. 
She  was  an  elegant  ship  in  all  re- 
spects. Artists  were  employed  to 
decorate  her  interior  with  murals  de- 
picting California  scenes.  Her  cabins 
were  luxuriantly  furnished  wih  plate- 
glass  mirrors,  marble-topped  tables, 
shiny  brass  lamps  and  plush  red  up- 
holstery. In  all  respects  she  justly 
deserved  the  name  which  her  admir- 
ers affectionately  gave  her,  The  Slim 
Princess.  When  she  was  put  into  ser- 
vice. Captain  E.  C.  M.  Chadwick 
was  made  her  master. 

The  Chrysopolis  never  deigned  to 
race  other  ships  on  the  river.  She 
didn't  have  to.  Everybody  knew  that 
she  didn't  even  have  to  force  her  en- 
gine to  beat  any  other  ship  that  plied 
the  inland  waters  of  the  State. 

She  was  exceedingly  well  built  and 
never  experienced  a  boiler  explosion 
that  plagued  many  other  steamers. 
However,  she  once  did  have  an  ex- 
plosion —  of  another  variety.  In 
1869,  the  Emmett  Guards,  a  local 
military  outfit  of  Sacramento,  decided 
to  visit  a  group  by  the  same  name  in 
San  Francisco.  As  the  roster  was 
made  up  of  Irishmen  it  was  very  ap- 
propriate that  these  fun-seeking  Hi- 
bernians should  choose  St.  Patrick's 
Day  for  their  excursion. 

On  the  day  of  their  departure,  two 
of  the  members  asked  their  com- 
mander  if   he   thought   it   would   be 


nmm 


I, 

Jane   I  piis 

proper  for  them  to  bring  a  small  can- 
non with  them  to  fire  off  a  few  sal- 
utes. The  captain  emphatically  denied 
the  request.  Nevertheless  they  secret- 
ly brought  their  cannon  aboard  to- 
gether with  a  keg  of  powder. 

That  night  no  one  slept  on  the 
steamer.  The  rollicking  members  of 
the  Emmett  Guards  enjoyed  them- 
selves hugely  at  the  bar.  In  the  morn- 
ing, as  the  Chrysopolis  was  nearing 
its  pier  at  San  Francisco,  the  jolly 
guardians  of  the  cannon  loaded  their 
gun  and  touched  it  off.  Unfortunately 
the  keg  of  powder  also  exploded.  A 
hole  was  ripped  in  the  deck  and  the 
ship  caught  afire.  Sixteen  of  the 
Guards  were  injured.  The  fire  was 
extinguished  and  the  Chrysopolis  was 
safely  moored.  The  perpetrators  of 
the  ill  advised  stunt  were  unscathed 
by  the  explosion  and  there  is  no 
record  that  they  were  ever  punished 
for  their  reckless  act. 

By  1875  there  was  no  longer  any 
need  for  steamers  like  the  Chrysopolis 
on  the  Sacramento  run.  The  railroad 
had  come  and  was  able  to  handle 
freight  and  passengers  more  econom- 
ically. The  Slim  Princess  was  sold  to 
the  Central  Pacific  and  sent  to  West 
Oakland  where  she  was  converted  in- 
to a  ferry  to  ply  between  San  Francis- 
co and  Oakland.  Her  hull  was 
lengthened  to  261  feet  and  when  she 
was  finally  refitted  her  proud  name 
was  changed  to  the  Oakland. 

The  ship  was  remodeled  in  1898 
and  again  subjected  to  extensive  al- 
terations in  1920.  Through  the  years 
she  did  excellent  duty  in  carrying 
passengers  across  the  Bay. 

In  1930  she  collided  with  the 
liner  Pennsylvania.  Little  damage  re- 
sulted from  the  collision  although  her 
passengers  were  greatly  frightened

The  Bennington  Disaster 


m 


IFTY-ONE      YEARS      AGO      in      the 


month  of  July,  I  was  visiting  a 
schoolmate  at  Coronado  for  a  few 
days.  We  came  over  on  the  ten-ten 
ferry  to  do  some  shopping  for  bath- 
ing suits  at  Marston's  then  to  splurge 
"alone"  with  a  new  ice  cream  re- 
fresher at  Inger sol's  candy  store,  the 
place  in  San  Diego  in  those  days. 
The  refreshment  we  wanted  was  a 
new  delicious  one  believe  me!  A 
large  glass  in  a  holder,  ice  cream  was 
put  in  first,  then  chocolate  syrup.  As 
we  sat  at  the  fountain  we  could  watch 
the  charged  water  syphoned  in;  how 
tempting  and  frothy  and  delicious  to 
eat,  with  a  long-handled  spoon;  no 
straws  as  yet.  The  ice  cream  soda  was 
really  new;  delicious  and  well  worth 
the  long  trip  across  the  bay  to  enjoy. 
But  this  day  we  never  arrived  at 
Ingersol's;  nor  bought  new  bathing 
suits. 

Believe  me  truly,  something  sud- 
denly and  terrible  happened  before 
the  ferry  was  not  quite  in.  Many  on 
the  ferry  were  standing  near  the  rail 
on  the  deck  watching  the  ships 
anchored  in  the  harbor;  so  spic  and 
span  in  their  white  paint.  All  United

Suddenly  a  loud  explosion  rent 
the  air.  The  U.  S.  S.  Bennington 
started  blowing  up.  Things  on  the 
deck  flew  through  the  air.  A  pall  of 
heavy  smoke  began  rolling  about, 
screams  and  cries  for  help  rent  the 
air  where  a  moment  before  the  calm 
bay  lay.  The  ferry  boat  rocked,  yes 
and  rolled;  as  if  hit  by  a  heavy  wave. 
Scared  passengers  scurried  inside  but 
some  hke  me  held  tight  to  the  deck 
rail  too  awed  to  speak  a  word,  only 
look! 

Horror  after  horror  greeted  eyes 
and  ears.  Screaming  men  on  board 
calling  for  help,  faces  pressed  into 
portholes  yelling  to  be  rescued.  Then 
another  explosion;  pieces  of  bodies  — 
arms,  legs  and  headless  torsos — flew 
through  the  air  to  be  picked  up  from 
the  bay  by  men  in  small  boats.  I  saw 
some  heads  blown  right  through  the 
portholes  that  a  few  seconds  before 
had  been  calling  for  help.  A  deadly 
second  blast  sent  even  on-lookers 
reeling.  When  the  smoke  from  this 
cleared,  what  a  ghastly  looking  thing 
the  trim  Bennington  had  become;  her 
boilers  had  exploded.  Not  one  high

officer  on  board,  just  the  sailors.  Just 
the  day  before  top  brass  who  were 
here  from  Washington  on  an  inspec- 
tion tour  had  passed  the  boilers  as  in 
perfect  condition. 

As  for  my  classmate  and  me,  we 
rode  back  on  the  same  ferry  boat 
when  it  made  its  return  trip,  two 
nauseated,  horrified  young  women 
of  twenty.  A  lack  of  ambulances, 
doctors,  nurses  and  hospital  accom- 
modations allowed  many  delays  in 
medical  care  and  surgery;  result, 
many  deaths  that  could  have  been 
prevented.

Hotel  del  Coronado 

This  early  Hotel  del  Coronado  is 
the  hotel  as  I  loved  it.  It  stood  right 
on  the  beach  where  high  tides  or 
stormy  weather  washed  the  breakers 
right  up  to  the  face  of  the  famous 
circular  ball  room  and  the  spray 
splashed  its  window  panes.  In  those 
days  no  bowling  alleys  or  bar-restau- 
rant   was    under    the    ball    room 


floor.  The  long  glassed-in  promenade 
from  ball  room  to  end  of  building 
was  much  enjoyed.  Now  this  plea- 
sure is  halted.  Suites  opening  on  the 
inner  court  have  been  enlarged  by 
taking  in  the  promenade  right-across 
so  that  the  windows  face  the  ocean. 

Where  the  large  brick  chimney  on 
the  right  shows  was  the  hotel  laun- 
dry; beyond  that  the  hotel  bath- 
house. The  small  house  was  the 
caretaker's  place  for  garden  tools.

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


THE  FOWNDINQ  OF 
SAN  QABRIEL  MISSION 


Fray  Antonio  Paterna  and  Fray 
Antonio  Cruzado  were  appointed  to 
establish  Mission  San  Buenaventura. 
On  their  way  north  they  stopped  at 
San  Gabriel  and  were  told  not  to  pro- 
ceed further  as  Fages  ordered  the 
postponement  of  founding  the  new 
mission  unil  the  Indians  had  quieted 
down.  At  the  same  time,  when  Fr. 
Cambon  asked  for  additional  guards, 
Fages  replied,  "Do  not  pay  any  atten- 
tion to  the  threats  of  the  pagans  foi 


by  Dr.  Leo  J.  Friis 

Part  2 

such  threats  are  very  common  and 
frequent  among  them."  That,  said  Fr. 
Cambon,  "was  the  help  he  sent." 

Both  the  Fathers  Cambon  and  So- 
mera  became  ill  and  after  one  year 
were  relieved  from  their  arduous 
duties.  Their  places  were  taken  by 
Paterna  and  Cruzado  who  gradually 
were  able  to  win  the  confidence  of  he 
Indians  and  among  the  first  children 
they  baptised  was  the  son  of  the  na- 
tive who  had  been  decapitated. 


Despite  the  difficulties  of  the  first 
year  a  good  crop  of  vegetables  was 
raised.  Unfortunately  the  wheat, 
which  had  been  sown  in  the  lowland, 
was  destroyed  by  flood  waters  from 
the  river.  Early  in  1775,  Serra  re- 
ceived a  letter  from  Paterna  and  Cru- 
zado expressing  their  desire  to  move 
the  mission  "for  greater  convenience 
and  utility."  This  was  done  and  the 
establishment  was  located  at  its  pres- 
ent site  where  it  commenced  to  thrive.

ZINE? IF  NOT,  PLEASE  FOR- 
WARD THEM  IMMEDIATELY. 

September  has  been  a  month  of 
celebration  for  the  Native  Daughters 
of  the  Golden  West.  On  September 
9th,  we  joined  with  the  Native  Sons 
of  the  Golden  West  at  Long  Beach  to 
celebrate  our  state's  birthday.  On 
September  16th,  we  journeyed  to 
HoUister  to  join  with  Copa  de  Oro 
Parlor  No.  105,  to  honor  our  Past 
Grand  President  Bertha  Briggs,  who 
celebrated  her  fiftieth  year  in  our  Or- 
der. On  September  23rd  and  24th,  all 
roads  led  to  Jackson,  Amador 
County,  where  all  Native  Daughters 
extended  congratulations  and  best 
wishes  to  Ursula  Parlor  No.  1  on  the 
75th  anniversary  of  the  founding  of 
the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West. 

In  between  these  special  occasions, 
I  have  journeyed  to  the  northern  part 
of  our  state  where  the  red,  yellow, 
and  brown  leaves  show  the  approach 
of  fall.  The  hospitality  of  our  parlors 
in  the  north  is  typically  Calif ornian. 
It  was  certainly  a  pleasure  to  meet, 
and  greet  them  all.  I  hope,  in  the  near 
future  to  return  for  a  more  leisurely 
visit  with  each  of  them. 

Each  month  I  am  privileged  to  say 
"hello"  to  every  member  of  our  Or- 
der, but  my  greeting  will  serve  no 
purpose  if  your  subscriptions  have 
not  been  forwarded.

RELICS  IN  MUSEUM  AT  OROVILLE 

Among  the  many  fabulous  gifts 
which  the  late  Jess  Sanks  willed  to 
the  Native  Son's  and  Daughter's 
Pioneer  Relic  Building  in  Oroville 
are  many  pieces  of  old  silver  and 
china,  several  paintings,  a  floor  size 
mirror  with  gold  leaf  trim,  a  cherry- 
wood  secretary  purchased  in  San 
Francisco  in  1856,  a  marble  top  table 
and  marble  topped  walnut  chiffonier. 
Other  gifts  given  by  Mr.  Lott  include 
Mrs.  Lott's  small  "wedding  trunk,"  a 
walnut  folding  chair  used  by  Mrs. 
Lott  on  her  trip  to  California  via  the 
Isthmus  of  Panama,  a  grandfather's 
clock  which  has  been  in  the  Lott 
family  since  1730,  a  walnut  bedroom 
set,  a  small  safe  (one  used  in  the 
County  Recorder's  office  at  Bidwell, 
the  second  county  seat  of  Butte 
County)  and  several  volumes  of  the

Mrs.  Cornelia  Lott-Sank  was  a

MISS  STOERMER  REMEMBERED 

San  Juan  Parlor  No.  315  of  Car- 
michael,  Sacramento  County,  has  re- 
cently given  a  gift  subscription  to  the 
California  Herald  for  Carmichael 
School  in  memory  of  Miss  Grace  S. 
Stoermer. 

Miss  Stoermer  was  the  first  State 
Chairman  of  the  California  Herald 
Magazine  Committee  and  it  was  one 
of  the  projects  in  which  she  was  most 
interested. 


AT  THE  BAR  .  . . 

(Continued  from  Page  2) 

At  that  moment  a  bystander  step- 
ped forward.  "Look  here,"  he  expos- 
tulated, "don't  you  know  who  this 
man  is  that  your  trying  to  arrest? 
He's  District  Attorney  Williams!" 

The  young  peace  officer  virtually 
collapsed  with  embarrasement. 

Yes,  WiUiams  stiff  has  his  sense  of 
humor  although  he  wiff  probably  ex- 
ercise more  caution  in  the  future. 
Incidentally,  he  refused  to  divulge 
the  name  of  the  young  deputy,  stating 
that  the  jibes  he  would  receive  from 
his  fellow  officers  would  be  sufficient 
without  having  his  identity  revealed 
to  the  public. 


Two  little  boys  had  a  favor  to  ask  their 
mother.  "You  ask  her,"  said  the  older  one. 

"No.  it  would  be  better  if  you  did  it," 
answered  his  younger  brother.  "You've 
known  her  longer  than  I  have." 


Out  of  curiosity,  a  fanner  had  grown  a 
crop  of  flax  and  had  a  tablecloth  made  out 
of  linen.  Sometime  later,  he  bragged  about 
it  to  a  woman  guest  at  dinner.  "I  grew  this 
tablecloth  myself." 

"Did  you  really  "  she  exclaimed.  "How 
did  you  manage  it?" 

The  farmer  lowered  his  voice  myster- 
iously. "If  you  promise  to  keep  the  secret, 
I'll  tell  you." 

The  guest  promised. 

"Well."  proceeded  the  farmer,  "I  planted 
a  napkin." 


Most  parents  of  today  know  where  their 
teen-age  son  is  at  all  times.  He's  in  the 
family  car.  The  only  trouble  is,  they  don't 
know  where  the  car  is.

SAN  FRANCISCO  NO.  261 

San  Francisco  Parlor  No.  261  cele- 
brated its  26th  anniversary  in  October 
at  a  dinner  held  at  Orengo's.  Guests 
included  the  "mother"  of  the  Parlor, 
PGP  Anne  C.  Thuesen  of  Alta  No.  3 
and  DGP  Helen  MacCarthy,  Utopia 
No.  252.  Due  to  illness,  Mamie  Smil- 
ey, Mission  No.  227,  organizer  of  the 
Parlor,  was  unable  to  be  present  but 
was  greatly  missed  by  the  members. 

The  members  of  San  Francisco 
Parlor  are  very  proud  of  this  year's 
president,  Mildred  T.  Black,  who  is 
a  charter  member  of  the  Parlor  and 
who  served  as  organist  for  20  years 
before  "going  through  the  chairs." 
Among  the  number  to  be  initiated 
during  November  will  be  Rose  Mc- 
Cormack,  sister  of  Mrs.  Black. 

Among  the  many  members  of  the 
Parlor  holding  various  positions  of 
honor  this  year  are  Edna  A.  Sabini, 
chairman  of  the  Leslye  A.  Hicks 
Health  Fund  and  DGP  Flora  Cam- 
pisi,  San  Francisco  County  Chair- 
man of  Extension  of  the  Order.  Also 
as  officers  in  the  Past  Presidents  As- 
sociation No.  1  are  DGP  Marie  L. 
Feil,  president;  Adelaide  Baumgar- 
ten,  corresponding  secretary;  Lillia 
Besozzi,  marshal  and  Clarisse  C. 
Meyers,  chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Directors. 

Recently  initiated  into  the  Associa- 
tion by  State  President  Esther  Ragan 
were  Verna  D.  Cummings  and  Al- 
marine  Higgins. 

In  August,  Lillia  Besozzi  was  in- 
stalled as  treasurer,  replacing  char- 
ter treasurer  Rita  Gardiser  who  had 
most  capably  served  for  25  years. 

Plans  are  underway  for  a  joint  of- 
ficial visit  in  February,  1962  of  GP 
Alice  Shea  to  Portola  and  San  Fran- 
cisco Parlors.  The  affair  is  under  the 
leadership  of  Winifred  Monticelli.

headed  by  President  lone  Knaben-

of  the  new  term  on  October  11  in  the 
Women's  Club  in  Walnut  Creek.  In 
a  beautiful  rendition  of  the  Initiation 
Ceremonies,  ten  new  members  were 
added  to  the  membership  roll.  Sev-

eral  more  applications  have  been  re- 
ceived and  another  initiation  is  plan- 
ned for  the  meeting  of  November  29. 
President  lone  Knabenshuh's  goal  foi 
the  year  is  a  membership  of  over  100 
by  June  30,  1962,  and  all  signs  points 
that  her  ambition  will  be  fulfilled' 
and  more.  j 

Attending  the  meeting  were  GVP 
Rhoda  Roelling  of  Stirling  Parlor, 
SDDGP  Olive  M.  Johnson  of  Antioch 
Parlor,  PGP  Estelle  M.  Evans  ol 
Antioch,  and  DGP  Elinore  Colbert 
of  Las  Juntas  Parlor,  as  well  as  mem- 
bers from  neighboring  Parlors.  De- 
licious refreshments  of  hot  stuffed 
rolls,  salads,  cake  and  coffee  and  tet 
were  served  at  the  conclusion  of  the 
meeting. 

Members  of  Las  Amigas  have  hac

generous  contributor  to  each  of  the 
Grand  Parlor's  scholarship  funds,  as 
well  as  the  Native  Daughters  Home.

the  Girl  Scouts  Council,  the  Repub- 
lican Central  Committee,  and  the 
Community  Concerts. 

The  late  PGP  Grace  S.  Stoermer

QUEEN  FOR  A  DAY 

More  than  800  Native  Daughters 
of  CaUfomia  filled  the  audience  at 
the  Moulin  Rouge  in  Hollywood  for  a 
special  broadcast  of  the  nationally 
televised  ABC  show  "Queen  for  a 
Day." 

The  studio  audience  elected  Mrs. 
Dorothy  Orr  of  Joshua  Tree  No.  288, 
Lancaster,  as  Queen  after  four  ladies 
from  the  studio  audience  had  been 
interviewed  on  the  show  by  M.C. 
Jack  Bailey.  Other  candidates  for 
the  daily  crown  were  Mildred  Kubler 
of  El  Camino  Real  No.  324,  Sepulve- 
da,  Grace  O'Connor  of  Glendale,  and 
Mrs.  Elza  Gordon  of  Placerita  No. 
277,  Van  Nuys.  Each  of  the  ladies 
appearing  on  the  show  received  the 
traditional  candidate  awards,  includ- 
ing an  electric  blender,  an  electric 
shampoo-polisher,  a  portable  air-pur- 
ifier, an  electric  clock  and  a  bottle  of 
imported  perfume.

MC  Jack  Bailey.     Seated:  Mildred

Mrs.  Orr,  the  second  of  the  four 
candidates  interviewed,  told  the  aud- 
ience that  her  wish,  if  she  were  elect- 
ed Queen,  was  "rent  for  a  few 
months."  A  native  of  Santa  Paula, 
Mrs.  Orr  has  lived  in  Lancaster  for 
"about  23  years",  she  said.  Having 
her  rent  taken  care  of  for  a  short  per- 
iod, she  explained,  will  enable  her  to 
finish  her  course  in  beauty  school. 
Her  husband  was  killed  in  an  auto- 
mobile accident  two  years  ago,  she 
told  the  audience,  and  she  hopes  to 
support  her  three  younger  sons  by 
working  as  a  beauty  operator.  The 
Orr  family  includes  four  boys,  21 
year  old  Chuck,  a  college  student;  17 
year  old  Gary,  twelve  year  old  Danny 
and  nine  year  old  Terry.  After  her 
coronation  Bailey  presented  Queen 
Dorothy  with  a  check  for  three

months  rent.  Other  awards  she  re- 
ceived included  her  choice  of  one  of 
the  three  new  model  refrigerators 
shown  on  stage;  a  supply  of  frozen 
meat,  a  17  jewel  watch,  four  tires  for 
her  car,  25  tanks-ful  of  Mobilgas,  a 
dinette  set,  a  generous  gift  certificate 
from  Spiegel,  a  vibrator  chair,  a  set 
of  encyclopedia,  and  the  outside  of 
her  house  painted.  In  addition  she 
was  given  a  wardrobe  of  fashions 
from  leading  designers. 

As  a  final  award  Bailey  announced 
that  Queen  Dorothy  will  have  a  role 
in  a  soon-to-be-filmed  segment  of  the 
new  ABC  night-time  show  "Follow 
the  Sun"  and  will  receive  full-scale 
TV  actress  pay  for  the  role.

On  March  6, 
1846,  he  erected 
i  fort  on  Gabilan 
Peak  in  what  is 
low  Monterey 
County,  on  which 
le  flew  his  en- 
sign. It  was  at  a 
■ime  when  Gen- 
eral Jose  Castro 
lad  ordered  him 
ind  his  men  to 
mmediately  leave 
California.  Fre- 
inont  remained  here  for  three  days  before  retreating  to  Sutter's  Fort. 

On  July  5,  1846,  he  was  in  Sonoma  where  he  took  command  of  the  men 
vho  had  inaugurated  the  Bear  Flag  Revolt.  Eleven  days  later  he  was  at  San 
uan  Bautista  where  he  again  unfurled  his  flag. 

Fremont  accepted  the  surrender  of  General  Andres  Pico  at  Rancho 
ahuenga  on  January  13,  1847.  Subsequently  his  life  was  one  of  alternate 
riumphs  and  reverses.  Commodore  Stockton  appointed  him  Governor  of 
California,  only  to  be  deposed  by  General  Kearny  less  than  two  months  later. 
Thereafter  he  was  court-martialed.  In  1856  he  was  the  first  candidate  of  the 
lepublican  Party  for  President.  He  served  in  the  Civil  War  and  for  a  short 
ime  was  Governor  of  Arizona  Territory. 

As  Phil  Townsend  Hanna  once  said,  "Fremont  has  been  greatly  maligned 
iind  just  as  strongly  defended.  He  was,  in  brief,  a  fairly  intelligent  and  courage- 
pus  man,  of  only  moderate  ability,  and  an  adventurer  who  operated  under  an 
[iegis  of  particularly  good  fortune."

and  climbed  to  the  security  of  the 
larger  ship.  From  that  time  on  the 
Chrysopolis  became  an  "extra"  on 
the  Ferry  run. 

Then  came  the  great  San  Francis- 
co-Oakland Bridge  which  spelled 
the  doom  of  the  ferries.  The  Slim 
Princess  was  no  longer  needed  and 
she  was  sold  to  wreckers  for  junk. 

She  was  towed  to  Oakland  to  be 
broken  up.  A  man  with  an  acetylene 
torch  commenced  cutting  her  iron- 
work to  pieces.  Seemingly  the  old 
ship  fought  back.  In  moments,  prob- 
ably from  sparks  from  the  torch,  the 
inside  of  the  old  craft  was  ablaze. 
Despite  the  efforts  of  fire  fighting 
crews  the  Slim  Princess  remained  on 
fire  until  she  had  burned  herself 
out  —  a  sad  ending  for  a  valiant 
steamer  who  had  known  no  peer  in 
her  heydey. 

The  soul  of  the  Chrysopolis  had 
gone  to  that  distant  land  where  sail- 
ors tell  us  all  good  ships  find  a  safe 
haven.

EL  CARMELO  NO.  181 

El  Carmelo  No.  181  has  been 
quite  busy  (and  happily  so)  since 
moving  into  our  new  meeting  hall  at 
3344  San  Jose  Avenue,  Daly  City. 
Meetings  are  held  on  the  1st  and  3rd 
Wednesdays  of  each  month. 

On  September  6,  El  Carmelo  had 
its  first  social  in  a  beautifully  deco- 
rated hall  under  the  chairmanship  of 
our  Young  Women's  Activities  group. 
On  September  20,  the  first  birthday 
social  was  for  those  whose  birthdays 
fell  in  September.  They  were  very 
happy  to  be  so  honored  and  the  Par- 
lor presented  each  with  a  lovely  gift. 
This  is  to  be  a  monthly  afi'air  and  it 


is  hoped  that  it  will  bring  back  some 
of  the  members  who  are  out  of  the 
habit  of  attending  meetings. 

On  October  4,  the  annual  Old 
Timer's  night  was  one  of  glee.  Four  of 
the  members  dressed  as  French  Maids 
served  and  then  put  on  a  song  and 
dance  skit.  Another  member  dressed 
as  an  old  lady  read  a  poem  "I'm 
Fine!"  which  brought  much  laughter 
to  those  who  were  present.  As  always, 
at  El  Carmelo,  delicious  refreshments 
were  served. 

On  Saturday,  October  7,  El  Car- 
melo participated  in  a  parade  cele- 
brating Daly  City's  50th  Anniversary. 
The  theme  (Wheels  of  Progress)  was 
carried  through  by  baby  carriages  — 
one  of  the  1900's,  the  1930's  and  the 
present  time.  A  station  wagon,  beauti- 
fully decorated,  carried  our  charter 
president,  Margaret  Steele,  and  some 
of  the  "old-timers";  other  members 
looked  very  handsome  marching  in 
the  dresses  of  the  1910's.  Many  com- 
pliments were  received. 

The  Welfare  Sewing  Group  is  busy 
making  aprons  which  will  be  sold  at 
Christmas  time  for  the  benefit  of  the 
many  welfare  activities. 

A  luncheon  whist  held  on  October 
18  was  a  most  successful  one,  and  a 
luncheon  held  on  November  1  was 
well  attended.  Plans  are  also  in  the 
making  for  a  Christmas  party  in 
December  for  children  of  members. 

In  keeping  busy,  we  feel  that  El 
Carmelo  will  always  prosper! 


A  POEM  FOR  YOU 

Life  is  dull  —  you're  bored 

But  have  you  the  right  to  be? 
There  is  a  Sister  somewhere 
Whom  you  could  go  to  see. 

Loneliness  is  hard 

When  you  are  low  in  health 
You'll  find  life  —  you  won't  be  bored 

In  fact  —  'twill  bring  you  wealth.

Bring  a  little  cheer 

A  smile  —  and  a  piece  of  cake 
A  little  rose  in  water 

Will  help  surmount  an  ache. 

Not  money,  nor  land 

Nor  new  clothes  for  your  back 
But  everything  that  you  may  give 

You'll  find  bouncing  back. 

Giving  is  God-like 

You  have  so  much  to  share  —  so 
Do  for  one  another  —  and 

We'll  all  be  millionaires.

MY  DAY  WOULD  BE  AS  DUST 

IVI  y  day  would  be  as  lusterless  as 
dust 
And  dreariness  would  fold  me  in 
its  shawl. 
If  I  could  never  hear  the  gentle  rush 
Of  wind  through  leafy  trees  nor  feel 
the  hush 
Of  birds  before  the  rain  begins  to 
fall. 


OLD  ADOBE 

V^ld  adobe  by  the  river 
Pepper  branches  swaying,  bending, 
S:ek  to  veil  you  with  compassion 
As  a  mother  shields  her  child. 

With  your  tile  and  rafters  fallen 
And  your  doorway  never  closing, 
With  your  windows  wide,  unseeing, 
Eyes  from  which  the  light  has  gone  — 
Chilled  by  rains  of  seasons  passing. 
Doss    your   cold   hearth    yearn    for 

warming? 
Do  your  walls  yet  hold  the  echoes 
Of  the  voices  they  once  knew? 

Old  adobe,  slowly  crumbling, 
Of  the  earth  to  earth  returning. 
May  your  soul  remain  to  hallow 
Quiet  ground  that  once  was  home.

FIRELIGHT 

I  used  to  watch  the  fire  bestow 
Its  glinting  crown  upon  my  loved 
one's  hair. 

At  evening,  while  the  logs  burn  low. 
Sitting  now  beside  an  empty  chair, 
I  watch  the  firelight  groping  for  her 
there.

"Oi^   Ut   ^U" 


How  many  of  you  remember  the 
awesome  wail  of  the  air  raid  sirens 
during  World  War  II?  We,  who  lived 
along  the  coast,  were  very  conscious 
of  the  possibility  of  an  aerial  attack 
and  most  towns  had  voluntary  air- 
craft "spotters"  who  worked  in  shifts 
around  the  clock. 

As  Anaheim  Coordinator  of  Civil 
Defense  it  was  my  duty  to  hasten  to 
the  City  HaU  as  soon  as  I  received  an 
alarm.  Perhaps  you  will  recall  that  we 
had  four  kinds  of  warnings:  Alert, 
Yellow,  Blue  and  Red. 

The  Alert  meant  that  there  was 
something  suspicious  a  long  distance 
away.  The  Yellow  meant  possible 
danger.  Blue  indicated  imminent  dan- 
ger and  the  Red  was  the  air  raid  sig- 
nal itself  which  meant  the  extinguish- 
ment of  all  lights  at  night. 

An  Alert  often  occurred  in  the  day- 
time and  might  last  for  several  hours. 
The  other  alarms  came  invariably  at 
night.  When  I  got  the  call,  "We're  on 
the  Yellow,"  I  would  run  for  my  car, 
hoping  to  get  to  headquarters  before 
the  siren  sounded.  Most  Yellow 
alarms  never  materialized  into  any- 
thing more  serious. 

Only  once  was  I  notified  that  we 
were  "On  the  Blue."  Before  I  could 
get  to  the  garage  the  siren  sounded 
and  I  had  to  walk  down  town.  It  was 
not  until  1  was  issued  special  hoods 
for  my  car  headlights  that  I  was  per- 
mitted to  drive  during  a  blackout. 
Incidentally,  by  that  time,  we  didn't 
have  any  more  blackouts! 

When  the  air  raid  siren  sounded, 
none  but  authorized  vehicles  were 
permitted  to  drive  on  the  streets.  It 
was  very  dark  during  a  blackout  and 
any  kind  of  driving  was  very  danger- 
ous. In  the  early  months  of  the  war 
our  police  cars  drove  without  lights.

^%  N  THE  FIRST  Christmas  when  the 
sjjithe  star  from  the  East  blazed 
brightly  in  the  heavens,  a  mighty  red- 
wood towered  above  its  neighboring 
trees  in  a  mountain  forest.  It  had 
sprung  from  the  ground  at  the  time 
Abraham  had  left  the  city  of  Ur  of 
the  Chaldees. 

In  1867  this  arboreal  patriarch 
was  named  by  Mrs.  Lucretia  P.  Baker 
of  VisaUa,  California,  for  Ulysses  S. 
Grant,  then  President  of  the  United 
States.  To  preserve  this  tree,  the 
General  Grant  National  Park  was 
established  by  an  act  of  Congress  on 
October  1,  1890.  With  the  founding 
of  the  Kings  Canyon  National  Park 
in  1940,  General  Grant  Park  became 
know  as  General  Grant  Grove  of 
Sequoia  National  Park.  On  April  28, 
1926  this  tree  was  dedicated  as  the 
Nation's  Christmas  Tree  by  the 
United  States  Department  of  the  In- 
terior. 

By  counting  the  annual  rings  as 
accurately  as  possible,   it  has  been 

DECEMBER,  1961 


determined  that  this  tree  is  4,000 
years  old.  It  is  now  one  of  the  half- 
dozen  largest  trees  in  the  world.  Its 
height  is  267  feet,  in  spite  of  the  fact 
that  the  upper  part  was  blown  off  a 
long  time  ago.  When  lightning  or 
some  other  catastrophe  struck,  this 
tree  was,  no  doubt,  at  least  400  feet 
tall. 

The  mountain  redwood  whose 
scientific  name  is  "Sequoia  gigantia," 
together  with  the  "Sequoia  semper- 
virens"  which  grow  along  the  coast, 
are  found  no  where  else  in  the  world. 

Strange  as  it  may  seem,  the  seeds 
of  the  redwoods  are  as  tiny  as  a  pin- 
head  yet  they  produce  these  giant 
trees.  Authorities  say  that  a  redwood 
has  never  been  known  to  die  of  old 
age.  It  resists  fire,  wind,  vermin  and 
other  natural  enemies.  Its  bark  is 
thick,  fuzzy  and  fire  resistant.  The 
tree  contains  an  acid  which  kills  the 
boring  insects  and  other  pests. 
Though  part  of  the  tree  may  be 
destroyed  by  fire,  it  sets  about 
to   heal   itself,   covering  its  wounds 


with  scab-like  burls.  The  uninjured 
portion  of  the  tree  then  redoubles  its 
efforts  to  grow  and  live  on.  These 
giant  trees  have  surprisingly  shallow 
roots  but  they  spread  and  entwine 
with  the  roots  of  other  trees  in  a 
spirit  of  co-operation.  It  is  estimated 
that  this  towering  giant  weighs  per- 
haps six  thousand  tons  and  could 
produce  542,000  board  feet  of  lum- 
ber. Such  a  tree  because  of  its  age 
and  size  was  fittingly  chosen  as  the 
Nation's  Christmas  Tree. 

The  first  Christmas  service  at  the 
base  of  the  General  Grant  tree  was 
held  in  1925  through  the  efforts  of 
Charles  E.  Lee  of  Sanger,  California. 
These  services  have  become  an  an- 
nual event.  The  members  of  the 
National  Park  Service  join  in  the 
services  and  each  year  place  a  wreath 
at  the  base  of  the  tree.  At  the  Christ- 
mas season  the  sight  of  the  Nation's 
Christmas  Tree  lakes  on  added  sig- 
nificance as  people  gather  around  the 
tree  with  prayers  For  "Peace  On 
Earth  Good  Will  To  All  Men."

THE  AMERICAN  FLAG  OF   1846 


^  ^iatct  S'  /ttt<M. 


1958 


••••••• 


//(p3  OMMODORE  John  D.  Sloat,  commanding  the  American  Pacific  Squadron, 
^  had  been  instructed  in  June,  1845,  to  seize  San  Francisco  Bay  and  other 
California  ports  in  the  event  he  ascertained  that  war  had  been  declared  be- 
tween   the    United  -        —r ^r-,^--  -.---.r-  ,:r-^;,-;T.,:-:,:.:'^^ 

States   and   Mex- 
ico. 

On  the  eve  of 
the  Mexican  War, 
Sloat's  ships  were 
anchored  at  Ma- 
zatlan  which  was 
also  the  head- 
quarters of  a  Brit- 
ish fleet.  The  offi- 
cers of  the  two 
countries  main- 
tained friendly 
but  watchful  rela- 
tions. 

From  time  to 
time  S  1  o  a  t  re- 
ceived informa- 
tion that  a  less 
cautious  man 
would  have  re- 
garded as  suffi- 
cient to  take  pos- 
session of  Cahfor- 
nia.  Being  now 
toward  the  end  of 
an  honorable  ca- 
reer he  had  no 
intention  of  mak- 
ing any  embar- 
rassing mistake 
like  Commodore 
Jones  made  four 
years  before  when 
he  captured 
Monterey  in  error. 

Even  after  he  was  informed  of  the  battles  of  Palo  Alto  and  Resaca  de  la 
Palma,  Sloat  hesitated.  Following  his  orders  strictly,  he  was  still  waiting  for 
news  of  declaration  of  war. 

On  June  5,  1846,  he  learned  that  Matamoras  had  been  captured.  Two 
days  later  he  wag  informed  that  Vera  Cruz  was  under  blockade.  On  June  8 
he  sailed  northward,  arriving  at  Monterey  on  either  July  1  or  2. 

He  delayed  further  action  until  he  learned  of  Fremont's  activity  in  the 
north.  Then  he  reported  that  he  decided  "rather  to  be  sacrificed  for  doing  too 
much  than  too  little."  On  July  7  he  demanded  the  town  surrender.  There  was 
no  one  there  to  respond.  He  sent  Captain  Mervine  ashore  with  250  men  with 
orders  to  raise  Old  Glor>'  over  the  custom  house. 

Mervine  complied.  There  was  no  Mexican  flag  to  lower.  None  had  flown 
there  for  several  months.  The  sailors  raised  the  American  Flag  of  28  stars 
and  saluted  it.  The  naval  band  played  several  patriotic  selections  which  every- 
one seemed  to  enjoy.  At  long  last  Commodore  Sloat  had  gone  into  action!

Commenting  on  place  names  in 
California,  Robert  Louis  Stevenson 
wrote,  "There  are  few  poems  with 
nobler  music  for  the  ear;  a  songful, 
tuneful  land."  Romantic  nomencla- 
ture is  a  valuable  asset. 

One  of  the  most  regrettable  exam- 
ples of  corruption  that  has  been  oc- 
curring in  California  for  years  is  the 
habit  of  passing  from  the  sweetly 
flowing  syllables  of  some  of  our 
Spanish  place  names  to  abbreviated 
short  cuts  —  a  variety  of  slang.  The 
pioneers  who  founded  this  great  state 
of  ours,  naming  its  villages  which 
grew  into  towns  and  later  thriving 
cities,  would  shudder  at  the  sound 
of  "Los"  or  "L.  A."  for  the  City  of 
the  Angels,  Los  Angeles,  or  "Sacto" 
tor  our  capital  city,  Sacramento. 
What  a  shame  that  the  city  of  San 
Francisco,  nobly  named  after  St. 
Francis,  should  be  dubbed  "Frisco"! 
These  hardy  pioneers  would  be  ready 
to  take  up  arms  at  the  sound  of 
"Berdoo"  instead  of  San  Bernardino, 
named  for  the  great  Saint  Bemardine. 
Sailors  speak  of  going  to  "Dago" 
but  the  early  settlers  chose  the  name 
of  San  Diego,  a  saint's  name  of  which 
to  be  proud.

True,  we  are  living  in  an  age  of 
abbreviations,  a  short  cut  in  speech 
and  writing,  but  we  should  never 
make  short  cuts  by  using  slang 
names  —  some  call  it  nicknames  — 
for  those  city  names  which  are  all 
proper  nouns.  It  takes  but  a  split 
second  longer  to  say  San  Francisco, 
Los  Angeles,  San  Bernardino,  Sacra- 
mento or  San  Diego.  It  takes  only  a 
bit  longer  to  write  out  the  word  Cali- 
fornia, instead  of  "Cal"  or  "Calif." 
Much  mail  has  gone  astray  with  such 
short  cuts  in  writing. 

In  writing  or  speaking  the  names  of 
our  cities  and  state,  let  us  give  each 
name  its  due  honor  and  give  Califor- 
nia her  rightful  place  on  the  envelope. 
Don't  be  stingy  with  your  time  or 
ink.  Writing  or  speaking  all  names 
in  full  will  erase  the  habit  of  slangy 
abbreviations.  Won't  you  try?

Final  School  Year 
A  Boarder 
19C2-1903 

SfS^yo  FINISH  OFF  my  schooling  in  a 
%  correct  way,  meant  time  in 
school  as  a  boarder  and  naturally, 
the  Convent  where  my  Mother  and 
her  sisters  had  been,  was  chosen. 
What  a  lovely  place  on  the  shore  of 
Lake  Merritt  in  Oakland,  the  Acad- 
emy of  the  Sacred  Heart  was.  Some- 
how, it  was  part  of  my  growing  up 
and  my  family  had  always  been  in- 
terested in  it. 

Why.  even  a  Tennessee  Metho- 
dist realized  how  wonderful  a  board- 
ing school  was  to  be  in  thos2  early 
days  in  California.  His  four  daugh- 
ters could  be  sent  there,  so,  they 
were,  and  he  personally  gave  financial 
aid  to  the  Canadian  Sisters  of  the 
Holy  Names  of  Jesus  and  Mary  to 
build,  how  much,  I  do  not  know. 
Gifts  are  gifts.  No  value  can  be 
placed  on  them.  The  good  resulting 
from  these  donations,  speak  for  them- 
selves. 

My  mother  was  the  first  parlor 
boarder  in  1870.  Her  father  was 
Colonel  Cave  Johnson  Couts  of  Gua- 
jome  fame  and  in  1902,  I,  his  grand- 
daughter was  also  there  enjoying  my 
days  very  much,  as  young  compan- 
ions were  mine  now,  denied  me 
automatically  at  home,  where  so 
many  older  relatives  were  always  on 
hand. 

In  many  ways,  new  things  of  the 
greatness  of  many  relatives  and  what 
they  meant  in  history  were  brought 
to  me  by  different  parents  wanting  to 
meet  the  new  girl  their  daughters  had 
met  in  the  Convent  by  the  name  of 
Arcadia  Bandini  Scott.  What  magic 
in  that  name,  I  soon  realized!  With 
the  greatness  of  my  relatives  and 
what  they  meant  in  history,  not  only 
in  California,  but  in  other  lands 
many  different  people  wanted  to  meet 
me  personally  to  tell  what  they  per- 
sonally knew.  A  true  warm  reaction 
was  mine   to  know,   how  wonderful

they  were;  to  konw  that  the  name  in 
full  of  such  a  wonderful  woman  as  my 
Tia's^i  (Aunt)  was  —  mine  to  carry 
throiigh  life,  hoping  1  would  be  wor- 
thy of  it. 

My  father's  name  of  Scott  was 
well  known  too.  His  family  had 
lived  in  San  Francisco  for  many 
years,  where  his  father,  William  An- 
derson Scott,  a  Presbyterian  minister 
at  Calvary  Church  went  through  a 
rough  siege  of  mob  violence;  even 
hung  in  front  of  said  church  in  effigy, 
because  he  absolutely  refused  to 
preach  politics  from  the  pulpit  during 
the  Civil  War  years.  This  was  told 
me  by  a  descendant  of  the  man  whose 
family  helped  him  get  away  from  said 
mob.  If  I  remember  correctly,  the 
name  was  Henderson. 

Another  close  friend  of  grandpa's 
was  a  Roman  Catholic  prelate  in 
San  Francisco,   Archbishop   Hanna. 


Both  men  high  in  their  own  church- 
es; very  tolerant  and  well  balanced 
toward  all,  although  grandma  Scott 
was  very  Anti-Catholic,  as  were  her 
two  daughters,  not  the  many  sons. 
More  about  them  may  crop  up  later. 

The  grounds  of  the  Convent,  old 
and  beautiful  with  their  shade  trees, 
were  well  kept,  as  was  the  large 
school  ground  along  the  shore  of 
Lake  Merritt.  Even  a  boathouse  was 
there  with  two  large  rowboats  that 
older  girls  rowed. 

A  Sister  was  always  with  the  fif- 
teen or  twenty  on  a  lake  ride,  a  most 
enjoyable  hour  to  relax,  while  pass- 
the  many  beautiful  gardens  of  homes 
around  the  lake,  as  many  had  statues 
on  the  lawns. 

I  was  sitting  in  the  school  yard, 

very   much   at   ease   with   my   back 

against  a  large  bird  house,  nice  and

s  THE  Order  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West 
embarked  upon  the  new  century, 
Grand  President  Cora  B.  Sifford  re- 
marked that  she  hoped  to  see  the 
14th  Annual  Grand  Parlor  accomp- 
lish something  significant.  Indeed  it 
did!  The  year  1900  and  the  years 
immediately  following  saw  the  be- 
ginning of  many  ambitious  projects, 
some  of  which  have  been  completed, 
and  many  of  which  are  active  and 
vigorous  to  this  day.  Some  other 
projects  were  suggested,  but  though 
they  did  not  immediately  meet  with 
approval,  have  since  come  into  being. 
Let  us  learn  from  this  not  to  be  dis- 


couraged. A  seed  planted  today  may 
not  seem  to  germinate  —  but  wait 
awhile  —  offer  what  encouragement 
seems  indicated  —  and  you  may  be 
surprised.  If  those  early  workers  for 
the  Order  could  only  see  how  their 
ideas  and  undertakings  have  grown 
and  prospered,  how  proud  and  happy 
they  would  be! 

For  a  time,  the  Grand  President's 
annual  reports  embodied  most  of  the 
records  of  the  activities  of  the  various 
projects,  and  it  is  necessary  to  read 
each  volume  very  carefully,  including 
the  correspondence,  in  order  not  to 


overlook  something  of  importance. 
Since  those  early  volumes  were  some- 
what voluminous,  this  has  taken  a 
great  deal  of  time.  May  I  here  ex- 
press my  thanks  and  that  of  the 
Grand  Parlor  Office  for  the  generous 
contribution  of  Laurel  Parlor  No.  6 
of  their  entire  library  of  Proceedings. 
This  will  be  of  great  assistance  in 
completing  the  compilation  of  the 
history  of  the  projects.  There  are  still 
some  volumes  needed,  however,  as 
listed  in  the  1961  Proceedings. 

One  must  read  between  the  lines 
of  the  accounts  of  the  Proceedings, 
which  are  necessarily  condensed,  in 
order  to  visualize   the  true   picture.

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


The  14th  Annual  Grand  Parlor  was 
held  June  12  to  15,  1900,  in  Jackson, 
home  of  the  Mother  Parlor.  At  this 
time  there  were  75  parlors  in  exist- 
ence. Although  1 1 8  charters  had  been 
granted  since  the  beginning,  unfortu- 
nately some  parlors  had  not  pros- 
pered and  had  to  give  up  their 
charters. 

The  Grand  President's  report  re- 
ferred to  a  circular  sent  to  the  sub- 
ordinate parlors  with  her  permission, 
from  Sister  Irene  Foster  of  San  Jose 
Parlor  No.  81,  who  "desired  permis- 
sion to  send  a  circular  to  Subordinate 
Parlors  asking  their  encouragement 
and  support  for  a  monthly  paper  she 
contemplated  publishing  in  the  inter- 
ests of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West.  .  .  .  Feeling  that  our 
Order  needed  some  medium  of  com- 
munication between  the  Parlors,  I  not 
only  approved  the  circular,  but  gave 
to  Sister  Foster  my  hearty  assurance 
of  cooperation.  I  regret  to  state  that 
less  than  a  dozen  Parlors  sent  any 
reply  or  encouragement  to  her,  and 
the  remaining  Parlors  entirely  ig- 
nored her  efforts,  and  she  was  com- 
pelled to  drop  the  work  entirely." 
(Does  this  sound  familiar?  We  know, 
of  course,  that  a  magazine  finally  was 
established.  In  fact,  several  have 
come  and  gone.  Let  us  hope  this  has 
not  established  a  precedent!  Surely 
we  must  agree  that  "our  Order  needs 
some  medium  of  communication  be- 
tween the  Parlors.") 

An  account  of  the  Admission  Day 
Celebration  in  Santa  Cruz  undoubt- 
edly refers  to  the  celebration  held  in 
1899.  "The  celebration  of  Admission 
Day  at  Santa  Cruz  by  the  Native 
Sons  and  Native  Daughters  was  but 
another  successful  event  of  our  Or- 
ders. The  hospitality  extended  by  the 
Santa  Cruz  Native  Sons  and  Daugh- 
ters was  most  gratifying,  and  the 
visiting  members  left  voting  it  one  of 
the  most  successful  celebrations  of 
September  9,  the  Native  Sons'  and 
Native  Daughters'  Day." 

The  "Fiftieth  Anniversary  of  the 
Establishment  of  the  State  Govern- 
ment of  California  was  the  occasion 
of  one  of  the  grandest  celebrations 
ever  given.  Pioneers,  Native  Sons 
and  Native  Daughters  met  in  con- 
junction and  made  the  event  one  long 
to  be  remembered.  The  hospitality 
extended  by  the  citizens  of  San  Jose 
on  this  occasion  to  the  visiting  Orders 
and  friends  was  most  cordial  .  .  . 
While  the  event  was  the  culmination 

DECEMBER,  1961 


of  the  labors  of  the  Pioneers,  the  Sons 
and  Daughters  vied  with  each  other 
to  honor  the  occasion  and  made  it 
the  success  it  was." 

The  Native  Daughters  were  invited 
to  assist  in  receiving  the  First  Cali- 
fornia Volunteers  on  their  return 
home,  and  a  communication  was  re- 
ceived from  Grand  Marshal  D.  C. 
Pistolesi,  requesting  the  participation 
of  our  organization  in  the  parade.  A 
committee  of  Native  Daughters  from 
the  San  Francisco  Parlors  was  ap- 
pointed, with  Past  Grand  President 
Lena  Hilke  Mills  as  chairman,  and 
the  various  Parlors  were  represented 
in  the  parade.  The  reception  was  ac- 
knowledged to  be  the  grandest  on 
record,  and  the  question  was,  "Who 
is  the  proudest,  the  returning  soldier 
boys,  or  those  who  are  here  to  receive 
them?" 

The  Native  Daughters  joined  with 
the  California  Club  of  San  Francis- 
co in  seeking  the  appointment  of  a 
woman  physician  in  each  of  our  in- 
sane asylums.  A  letter  from  the  Exec- 
utive Department,  State  of  California, 
indicated  that  a  "doctress"  would  be 
employed  at  Stockton  and  at  Napa, 
and  that  these  two  lady  appointees 
would  be  required  to  visit  all  other 
State  Hospitals  for  the  Insane  at 
least  quarterly. 

As  the  members  of  the  Order  be- 
came aware  of  the  power  that  could 
be  wielded  by  a  group  of  women 
working  together,  their  interests 
spread  to  encompass  projects  that 
could  be  of  great  value  to  the  State 
as  a  whole,  and  for  generations  to 
come.  Here  began  the  activities  of  the 
Order  to  preserve  California's  great 
redwood  forests:  "Feeling  that  it 
would  be  the  unanimous  wish  of  the 
Native  Daughters  to  aid  in  the  project 
to  preserve  these  trees  (the  Calaveras 
"Big  Tree'  Grove),  which  are  ac- 
knowledged to  be  one  of  the  wonders 
of  the  world,  the  following  resolutions 
were  sent  under  signature  of  our 
Grand  Officers: 

"Whereas,  the  State  of  California  is 
threatened  with  the  destruction  of  one 
of  the  most  noted  landmarks,  the 
groves  of  sequoia  gigantea  trees  situ- 
ated in  Calaveras  County;  and  where- 
as, thousands  have  looked  upon  these 
marvels  of  nature  with  awe  and  ad- 
miration, and  the  visit  to  these  forests 
has  for  many  years  been  one  of  the 
objective  points  of  every  tourist,  un- 
til they  have  become  one  of  the  chief 


attractions  of  our  State;  now  there- 
fore, be  it 

"Resolved,  That  the  Grand  Officers 
of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gold- 
en West  in  the  name  of  the  Order 
protest  against  this  work  of  destruc- 
tion, and  earnestly  request  the  repre- 
sentatives of  the  people  of  the  State  of 
California  in  the  Senate  and  House 
of  Representatives  at  Washington  to 
endeavor  by  every  means  in  their 
power  to  avert  this  calamity. 

"Resolved,  that  copies  of  this  pre- 
amble and  resolutions  be  forwarded 
by  the  Grand  Secretary,  under  the 
seal  of  the  Order,  to  Senators  George 
C.  Perkins  and  Thomas  R.  Bard  and 
to  each  Congressman  from  the  State 
of  California,  to  be  used  by  them  as 
may  be  necessary." 

The  motion  of  Sister  Evelyn  An- 
derson relative  to  the  Big  Trees  was 
carried. 

On  May  17,  1900,  the  Grand  Pres- 
ident received  a  communication  from 
a  Committee  of  the  Native  Sons,  in- 
viting the  Native  Daughters  to  join 
with  them  in  erecting  a  monument 
to  the  Donner  Party.  The  resolution 
passed  at  the  Native  Sons  Grand  Par- 
lor was  quoted: 

"We,  your  committee  appointed  to 
determine  the  location,  design,  prob- 
able cost  and  method  of  receiving 
funds  for  the  erection  of  a  monument 
in  commemoration  of  the  tragic  fate 
of  the  pioneer  Donner  party,  beg 
leave  to  report  as  follows: 

"First  —  as  to  the  location,  we 
recommend  that  the  monument  be 
erected  on  that  spot  now  marked  by 
a  wooden  cross  situate  between  the 
town  of  Truckee  and  Donner  Lake, 
in  Nevada  County,  California. 

"Second  —  As  to  design,  on  ac- 
count of  lack  of  funds  we  did  not  feel 
at  liberty  to  call  for  designs,  but  be- 
lieve that  a  monument  of  polished 
granite,  suitably  inscribed,  should, 
because  of  the  location  of  the  spot 
and  the  desirability  of  the  stone,  be 
selected. 

"Third  —  As  to  probable  cost,  we 
believe  that  the  sum  of  $5,000  would 
cover  all  the  costs  incurred  by  such 
an  undertaking,  and  would  insure 
the  erection  of  a  very  substantial  and 
suitable  monument. 

"Fourth  —  As  to  the  method  of 
raising  or  receiving  funds.  We  believe 
that  this  matter  is  one  which  the  or- 
der of  the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden

Our  Order  has  again  been  honored 
by  having  your  Grand  President  se- 
lected as  a  member  of  the  National 
Awards  Jury  of  Freedoms  Founda- 
tions at  Valley  Forge.  This  is  a  great 
honor  as  these  invitations  are  usually 
only  extended  to  National  and  Patri- 
otic Veteran's  and  Service  Club  Or- 
ganizations. I  will  leave  shortly  after 
Thanksgiving  and  return  after  the 
dedication  of  the  new  Freedoms  Cen- 
ter by  General  Dwight  D.  Eisenhow- 
er. Our  day  of  Thanksgiving  has  just 
past  and  now  is  the  time  to  rededicate 
ourselves  to  the  constitutional  prin- 
ciples of  the  American  way  of  life 
that  we  may  ever  dwell  in  the  light  of 
those  valiant  Americans  who  have 
fought  for  our  freedoms.  Be  generous 
to  our  veterans  at  Christmas,  remem- 
ber many  are  very  lonely. 

My  earnest  wish  to  each  Native 
Daughter  and  Native  Son  of  the  Gold- 
en West  is  for  a  joyous  Holiday  Sea- 
son with  your  loved  ones  and  may 
health,  happiness  and  success  be 
yours  during  the  coming  year.  We 
pray  our  Heavenly  Father  will  bring 
peace  to  a  troubled  world.

ECEMBER,  1961 


W  WISH  I  COULD  go  at  Christmas 
^  time  to  the  town  of  Bethlehem. 
There  I  would  hear  His  voice  "Peace 
on  earth  to  men  of  goodwill"  and 
"Inasmuch  as  you  have  done  it  unto 
one  of  he  least  of  these.  Ye  have  done 
it  unto  Me." 

Today,  throughout  California, 
there  are  children  with  pale  cheeks 
but  with  stout  hearts.  Their  bodies 
have  been  racked  with  pain,  but  their 
suffering  has  been  eased  because  of 
care  provided  by  the  Native  Daugh- 
ters of  the  Golden  West  Childrens 
Foundation. 

Reach  out  your  hand  and  grasp  the 
tiny  one  of  Jackie;  you  cannot  buy 
him  a  greater  gift,  you  have  already 
bought  him  the  chance  to  live.  He 
joins  hundreds  of  children  in  prayers 
of  all  faiths  .  .  .  bright  hopes  they 
have  and  dreams  come  true.  Ted  has 
his  wheelchair;  Missey  has  an  arti- 
ficial limb.  Maggie  has  nursing  care; 
Bille,  costly  medicine  to  make  him 
well.  Ever  so  many  others  have  spe- 
cial services  provided  by  the  kindness 
of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gold- 
en West.  These  gifts  are  gifts  of  love, 
personified  by  our  members  through- 
out the  State. 

Soon  in  our  hearts  will  be  placed 
another  gift.  There  is  no  price  tag 
stamped  on  it  ...  it  cannot  be 
measured  .  .  .  true  value  has  no 
earthly  measure.  It  is  the  Christmas 
Breakfast  which  takes  place  the  first 
Sunday  in  December  in  the  Gold 
Room  of  the  Fairmont  Hotel  in  the 
city  of  San  Franisco.  Here  the  faith 
of  ages  is  born  again  in  the  peace, 
gentleness  and  love  evidenced  for  the 
Childrens   Foundation.    Just    as   the 


Ckridtma^

wise  men  brought  gifts  to  the  Manger, 
the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West  bring  gifts  to  their  Foundation 
and  they  ask  only  that  they  be  used 
wisely  and  well. 

I  feel  certain  the  angels  sing  that 
morning,  not  alone  on  far  flung  hills 
where  shepherds  tend  their  flocks 
but  in  the  City  of  St.  Francis  where 
cable  cars  climb  the  hills  in  the  cool 
gray  fog  and  church  bells  ring  out 
their  message  of  love. 

Of  all  the  gifts  of  Christmas  the 
gift  of  loving  kindness  for  an  ailing 
child  is  the  most  precious.  Nothing 
will  tarnish  its  brilliancy  nor  mar  the 
thread  of  perfection  it  weaves  into  the 
pattern  of  life. 

Accept  then  this  Christmas  prayer 
as  it  is  offered  to  the  Giver  of  Christ- 
mas. "May  the  Native  Daughters  of 
the  Golden  West  throughout  Califor- 
nia continue  to  serve  the  children  of 
all  men  and  in  so  doing,  serve  also 
the  Christ  Child  of  Bethlehem." 


A  CALIFORNIA  FIRST 

Marine  Lt.  Col.  Robert  B.  Robin- 
son of  Orange,  California,  has  set  a 
world  speed  record  of  1606.32  miles 
an  hour  in  the  Navy's  Phantom  II 
jet  fighter. 


A  builder  was  nonchalantly  walking  the 
beams  high  above  the  street  on  a  new  sky- 
scraper, while  the  pneumatic  hammers 
made  a  nerve-jangling  racket  and  the  com- 
pressor below  shook  the  whole  structure. 

When  he  came  down,  a  man  who  had 
been  watching  him  tapped  his  shoulder. 
"I  was  amazed  at  your  calmness  up  there. 
How  did  you  happen  to  go  to  work  on  a 
job  like  this 

"Well."  said  the  other.  "I  used  to  drive 
a  school  bus  but  my  nerves  gave  out."

Chairman,  State  Committee  of 
Tournament  of  Roses  Float 

Members  of  the  Native  Daughters 
of  the  Golden  West  are  afforded  a 
rare  treat  in  this  issue.  The  accom- 
panying sketch  presents  a  preview 
of  our  entry  into  the  1962  Tourna- 
ment of  Roses. 

This  beautiful  floral  entry  sends  a 
message  to  the  modern  world,  that  a 
match  can  be  a  fearful  threat  to  for- 
ests throughout  the  world.  An  animat- 
ed Smokey  the  Bear,  aided  by  a  lovely 
native  of  California,  is  extinguishing 
a  fire  which  will  emit  white  pine- 
scented  smoke.  This  effect  is  created 
through  the  use  of  natural  forest  ever- 
greens; thousands  of  roses,  chrysan- 
themums, and  ferns  will  be  used  also. 

The  California  State  Flag  rests  in 
a  bed  of  California  golden  poppies,  on 
top  of  natural  redwood  bark  from 
Northern  California.  The  back  of  the 
float  presents  an  outline  of  the  State 
of  California,  with  the  word,  "Cal- 
ifornia," written  inside. 

Four  other  beautiful  girls,  in  au- 
thentic costumes,  represent  other 
countries  that  have  active  forest  fire 
prevention  programs.  These  girls  are 
standing  at  the  base  of  a  free-form 
support,  within  which  a  globe  is  slow- 
ly rotating.  Emblazoned  across  the 
top  support  is  our  theme,  "Preventing 
Forest  Fires  Around  the  World." 

Let's    have    100%    support    from

donation  of  ten  cents  (10c)  per

At  the  recent  meeting  of  Dolores 
No.  169,  San  Francisco,  "cares  went 
to  the  winds"  when  the  members  en- 
joyed a  party,  with  Lucile  Gomes  and

the  many  costumed  participants.  De- 
licious refreshments  were  served. 
Guests  included  PGPs  Emily  E.  Ryan

Childrens  Foundation  as  well  as  re- 
citing some  of  the  cases  the  committee 
has  served.

Deputies  and  Parlor  Presidents  fo'

AT  THE  BAR  .  .  . 

(Continued  from  Page  2) 

I  remember  one  evening,  about 
9:30,  when  the  siren  sounded.  I  hur- 
ried from  home,  walking  toward  Los 
Angeles  Street.  As  I  approached  this 
usually  busy  thoroughfare  I  saw  a 
black  coupe  creep  slowly  northward. 
It  had  no  lights. 

"Stop  that  car!"  I  shouted  to  an 
air  raid  warden.  He  complied  and 
I  ran  over  to  the  coupe.  A  little  old 
lady  was  behind  the  steering  wheel. 
Seated  beside  her  was  a  small  boy. 

I  was  furious.  "What  do  you  mean 
by  driving  your  car  during  a  black- 
out?" I  shouted.  "Don't  you  know  its 
against  the  law?  You  might  hurt 
somebody  or  get  killed  yourself. 

I'm  sorry,"  she  replied,  "We 
don't  take  any  newspapers  and  I 
didn't  know  there  was  going  to  be  a 
blackout  tonight." 

"Nobody  knows  when  there's  going 
to  be  a  blackout,"  I  answered.  "Now 
you  sit  here  until  1  come  back  after 
the  all  clear  signal." 

1  took  her  name  and  address  and 
hurried  down  to  the  city  hall.  As 
soon  as  the  blackout  was  over  a  police 
officer  took  me  back  and  I  permitted 
the  lady  to  resume  her  trip  home,

quiet  and  cool,  studying  Greek,  which 
I  did  not  like  at  all.  Suddenly,  a  sharp 
voice  said  "Get  up."  I  did  in  a  hurry. 
It  was  one  of  the  Sisters  not  known 
to  me  and  her  approach  had  not  been 
heard.  Naturally,  I  was  nervous, 
scared,  a  bit  worried  at  being  rude. 
Seeing  this,  she  said  in  a  sharp  acid 
tone,  "Don't  be  afraid.  I  am  Sister 
Jonveir.  You  are  a  new  girl  here.  I 
am  looking  for  a  certain  one." 

Naturally  I  answered  "Yes,  Sis- 
ter." Suddenly,  she  said,  "Turn  to 
the  right."  I  did.  "Now  turn  slowly 
to  the  left."  I  did,  then  the  snap  or- 
der. "Walk  toward  the  rose  garden." 
I  did.  "Ten  or  twelve  steps  —  farther, 
farther,  step  farther."  Suddenly  the 
voice  broke,  saying,  "Stop!  Stop! 
Come  back  here.  They  told  me  one 
of.  Colonel  Couts'  granddaughters 
was  here.  One  of  Tonita's  girls,  and 
so  much  like  her  grandfather,  I  would 
recognize  her.  She  walks  just  as  he 
did,  so  straight.  The  Sisters'  are 
right.  You  do  have  his  military  car- 
riage. What  is  your  name?"

SOCIAL  EVENING 

A  social  evening  was  held  recently 
by  the  Santa  Maria  Parlor.  The  past 
presidents,  with  Mrs.  Tumage  as 
chairman  entertained  and  served  re- 
freshments. In  an  unusual  way  the 
hall  and  dining  room  were  transform- 
ed into  "Beatnik  Pads."  A  skit  of 
poems  and  songs  and  musical  rendi- 
tions on  numerous  instruments  by 
"far  out"  beatniks  were  given.  Past 
presidents  participating  were  the 
Mmes.  Ida  Hawkins,  Elsie  Hayes, 
Charity  Righetti,  Norene  Ruperto, 
Barbara  Sumner,  Helen  Howard, 
Carrie  Boyd  and  Essie  Tumage.  PGP 
Eileen  Dismuke  and  DGP  Mary  Weg- 
ener of  Tierra  de  Oro  Parlor  were 
guests  for  the  evening.  Mrs.  Mary 
Ellen  Broyers,  a  member  of  Santa 
Maria  Parlor,  was  welcomed  having 
just  returned  to  Santa  Maria  to  make 
her  home.  Also  congratulated  was 
Mrs.  Ruperto,  who  is  now  Great 
Minnehaha  of  the  Great  Council  of 
Pocahontas.

CHRISTMAS  PARTY  FOR  VETS 

The  Inter-Parlor  Commttee  of  the 
Native  Sons  and  Daughters,  Southern 
California,  are  again  sponsoring  a 
Christmas  Party  for  the  veterans  of 
Sawtelle  Hospital.  The  date  has  been 
set  for  December  17  from  1 :30  p.  m. 
to  4:00  p.  m.  in  the  Domicihary  The- 
atre at  the  Veterans  Administration 
Center  grounds  located  north  of  Wil- 
shire  Blvd.  near  Sawtelle  Road. 


The  veterans  eagerly  anticipate 
this  annual  event  and  for  many  it  will 
be  the  only  Christmas  party  they  will 
have.  The  success  of  the  party  de- 
pends upon  the  generous  donations 
from  the  various  Parlors  and  from 
donations  from  individuals.  Volun- 
teer workers  are  also  needed  to  help 
the  committee  make  the  day  a  happy 
one. 

In  addition  to  refreshments  and 
entertainment,  cash  prizes  will  be 
given  to  winners  in  the  games  play- 
ed. Among  the  gifts  needed  are  pock- 
et sized  novels,  detective  and  sports 
magazines,  used  decks  of  cards,  jig 
saw  puzzles  and  the  like.

SANCTUARY  FOR  SWALLOWS 

Mary  C.  Negranti,  chairman  of  the 
committee  on  conservation  and  safe- 
ty. El  Final  No.  163,  and  her  com- 
mittee members  are  working  on  a 
plan  to  preserve  Swallow  Rock  near 
Cambria,  as  a  bird  sanctuary.  Edwin 
Walters  and  Alfred  Filos,  owners  of 
the  land  where  the  rock  is  situated 
have  given  their  consent  to  .set  aside 
the  rock  and  a  small  area  of  land  sur- 
rounding it  as  a  permanent  bird 
sanctuary. 

The  problems  facing  the  Parlor 
are  the  funds  and  help  for  fencing  off 
the  rock  and  maintaining  an  adequate 
fire  guard  to  keep  it  accessible  to  the 
public.  The  state  division  of  highways 


has  assured  the  committee  that  a  roacj 
to  the  rock  will  be  maintained  by  the 
county  after  the  new  highway  is  com 
pleted.  The  public  will  enter  from  thd 
junction  of  Green  Valley  Road. 

A  check  for  $10  has  already  beei 
received  from  Robert  M.  Wenban' 
Chicago,  Illmois.  In  sending  his  do 
nation,  Mr.  Wenban  said  that  thi; 
landmark  has  always  intrigued  hin 
and  that  he  seldom  passed  withou 
slowing  down  to  watch  the  swallow; 
dart  in  and  out  of  their  nests.  Dona 
tions  can  be  sent  to  Mrs.  Mary  Ne 
granti,  P.  O.  Box  5,  Harmony,  Cali

THE  MAN  WHO  QAVE 

HIS  NAME  TO 
FAIRFAX 

by 

Qeorgianna  Qabb 


?m    left:    Hon.   Kenneth    Edgar, 
yor  of  Fairfax;  Georgianna  Gabb; 
n  Reid,  co-chairman;  and  Susan 
Moore. 

N  1856  "Lord"  Charles  Snowden 
Fairfax  received  a  land  grant  to 
40  acres  and  buildings  which  be- 
ne known  as  Fairfax  Manor,  from 
ich  the  city  of  Fairfax  takes  its 
ne. 

rharles  Snowden  Fairfax  was  born 
March  8,  1829.  He  was  the  son  of 
)ert  Fairfax  who,  in  turn,  was  the 
I  of  Thomas  Fairfax,  ninth  Lord 
rfax,  a  Virginia  landowner  who 
5  a  friend  of  George  Washington. 
vas  he  who  hired  young  Washing- 
to  survey  his  vast  estate  in  what 
low  Fairfax  County,  Virginia.  Had 
3rd"  Charley  been  a  British  sub- 
t  he  would  have  been  the  10th 
rd  Fairfax  of  Cameron, 
hlowever,  in  April  of  1849,  Fair- 
sailed  out  of  Virginia's  James 
/er,  on  a  ship  called  the  Glenmore, 
California.  He  was  only  20  years 
!  when  he  arrived  in  Grass  Valley. 
1853  he  became  assemblyman  for 
ba  and  Sierra  Counties  and  was 
cted  speaker  of  the  Assembly  in 
54.  He  was  clerk  of  the  California 
preme  Court  from  1857  to  1861, 
position  that  paid  him  $3,000  per 
ir. 

Ada  Benham,  daughter  of  the  Cin- 
nati  attorney  J.  S.  Benham  and 
;ce  of  John  C.  Calhoun,  became 
irfax's  bride.  They  named  their 
me  in  Marin  County  "Bird's  Nest 
en."  It  was  here,  in  1861,  that 
ord"  Charley  served  luncheon  to 
larles  W.  Percy  and  Daniel  Sho- 
Iter,  two  Democratic  assemblymen 
th  opposing  views.  These  duelists 
re  forced  out  of  San  Francisco  be- 

CEMBER,  1961 


cause  that  city  was  weary  of  "legal" 
killings.  They  chose  Bird's  Nest  Glen 
as  their  field  of  honor.  Both  were 
friends  of  "Lord"  Charley  but  the 
luncheon  proved  to  be  the  last  either 
ever  ate  with  him.  Piercy  died  with  a 
rifle  bullet  through  his  heart  and 
Showalter,  after  being  indicted  for 
murder,  fled  to  escape  trial. 

On  March  25,  1859,  Harvey  Lee, 
reporter  of  the  State  Supreme  Court 
and  a  political  rival,  met  Fairfax  on 
4th  Street  in  San  Rafael.  Lee  made  a 
sneering  remark,  which  caused  Fair- 
fax to  slap  his  face  whereupon  Lee 
unsheathed  a  sword-cane  and  ran  it 
through  Fairfax's  chest.  Fairfax,  seri- 
ously wounded,  drew  a  derringer, 
looked  Lee  in  the  eye  and  said: 

"Recollect,  I  have  your  life  in  my 
hands.  I  spare  it,  not  on  your  worth- 
less account,  for  you  are  an  assassin 
and  a  coward,  but  because  of  your 
wife  and  children." 

Although  Fairfax  lived  another  ten 
years,  the  wound  did  severe  internal 
damage  and  was  no  doubt  at  least 
partly  responsible  for  his  early  death 
at  the  age  of  40  years. 

His  last  gesture  to  his  party  was  to 
lead  the  California  delegation  to  the 
annual  convention  in  New  York  to 
nominate  Horation  Seymour  for  pres- 
ident. The  election,  however,  swept 
Ulysses  S.  Grant  into  the  White 
House  in  1868.  Soon  after  Fairfax 
died,  on  April  16,  1869,  in  Baltimore. 

The  site  of  Bird's  Nest  Glen  is  to- 
day the  Marin  Town  and  Country 
Club.  It  was  marked  as  a  historical 
monument  on  November  6,  1940  by 


the  Native  Sons  and  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West  of  Marin  County  in  co- 
operation with  the  Historical  Land- 
marks Advisory  Committee  of  the 
California  State  Park  Commission. 
In  making  application  for  registration 
of  this  historical  point  of  interest, 
Jean  Reid,  past  president  of  Fairfax 
Parlor,  did  research  concerning  the 
history  of  Lord  Fairfax  which  extend- 
ed even  across  the  Atlantic  to  Thomas 
Brian  McKelvie  Fairfax,  13th  Baron 
and  the  present  Lord  Fairfax  of  Cam- 
eron. 

Chairmen  for  arrangements  for  the 
marking  were  Jean  Reid,  Fairfax  No. 
225  and  Georgianna  Gabb,  Marinita 
No.  198.  Parlors  of  Marin  County 
included  Fairfax  No.  225,  Sea  Point 
No.  196,  Marinita  No.  198  and 
Tamelpa  No.  231  of  the  Native 
Daughters,  and  Fairfax  No.  307,  Sea 
Point  No.  158  and  Mt.  Tamelpais 
No.  64  of  the  Native  Sons.

if  the  Grand  Parlor  will  but  take  the 
initiative  the  necessary  funds  will  be 
forthcoming.  By  contribution  from 
the  different  Parlors  and  by  personal 
subscriptions,  which  we  feel  would  be 
made,  the  entire  amount,  no  doubt, 
could  be  raised,  but  as  our  pioneer 
mothers  played  an  important  part  in 
the  history  of  the  Donner  party,  it  is 
probable  that  our  sister  organization, 
the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden

should  such  be  the  case,  the  question

concerning  funds  would  be  solved. 

"We  therefore  recommend  that  a 
committee  be  appointed  to  solicit 
funds  for  the  erection  of  the  Donner 
monument,  which  committee  shall  al- 
so call  for  designs  and  estimates,  and 
shall  investigate  all  other  matters  re- 
lating to  the  construction  of  such  a 
monument,  and  we  further  recom- 
mend that  an  invitation  be  extended 
to  the  Order  of  the  Native  Daughters 
of  the  Golden  West  to  participate 
and  assist  in  such  construction  and 
to  appoint  a  committee  to  cooperate 
with  a  like  committee  from  this  Or- 
der." 

After  a  discussion,  it  was  moved 
that  the  Grand  President  appoint  a 
committee  of  seven  to  confer  with  the 
Native  Sons  relative  to  the  resolution. 
The  Grand  President  left  the  appoint- 
ment of  the  committee  to  the  incom- 
ing Grand  President. 

The  delegates  from  Santa  Cruz 
Parlor  No.  26,  Sisters  Marie  Pioda 
and  K.  W.  Cooper,  presented  the 
following  resolution  regarding  the 
"Big  Basin,"  which  was  adopted: 

"Whereas,  the  beautiful  natural 
park  known  as  the  'Big  Basin'  of 
Santa  Cruz  County  is  now  about  to 
be  destroyed;  and 

"Whereas,  Its  forests  are  even  now 
threatened  by  the  devastating  axe; 
and 

"Whereas,  The  rainfall  of  that  por- 
tion of  the  country  has  already  been 
reduced  one-half  by  the  felling  of  the 
sequoias  of  Santa  Cruz  County;  there- 
fore, be  it 

"Resolved,  that  the  Grand  Parlor 
of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West  petition  our  representatives  in 
Congress  that  they  use  their  best  ef- 
forts to  place  this  valuable  tract  of 
land  under  Government  Control." 

From  our  vantage  point,  61  years 
later,  we  know  how  successful  were 
the  efforts  of  our  predecessors.  But 
how  grateful  we  should  be  to  them 
for  their  forethought  and  earnest  en- 
deavors!

A  communication  was  read  fro: 
Mayor  George  H.  Clark,  City  of  Sai 
ramento:  "The  people  of  Sacramen 
join  me  in  requesting  that  the  sessic 
of  your  next  Grand  Parlor  be  held 
Sacramento.     .   .   .If  you  decide  i 
accept  our  invitation  we  would  I 
pleased  to  have  you  meet  with  us  tl 
latter  part  of  May,  the  exact  date 
be  determined,  at  which  time  we  hoj 
to  produce  a  Street  Fair  and  Trad 
Carnival   far   in   excess   of   anythir 
heretofore   attempted,   and  at  whic 
time  v/e  will  be  in  reception  dress 
do  you  honor.   .  .  .  Trusting  you  w 
give  us  the  opportunity  to  demo 
strate  our  ability  as  hosts,  and  assu 
ing  you  of  our  appreciation  of  yo 
acceptance  of  the  invitation,  I  am 
Very   Truly   Yours." 

The  Grand  Officers  and  Delegat 
were  invited  to  visit  the  old  Pione 
Hall,  where  the  first  meetings  of  tl 
Native  Daughters'  organization  we 
held,  the  "cradle  of  their  infancy." 

Past  Grand  President  Mariai 
Bertola  offered  the  following  resol 
tion:  "Whereas,  Mills'  College  ai 
Seminary  is  a  pioneer  woman's  schc 
in  the  State,  and  the  only  large  chai 
ered  college  for  women  today  whii 
is  accredited,  be  it 

"Resolved,  That  we,  Nati 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West,  ( 
establish  a  scholarship  there  to  mai 
tain  and  educate  there  a  Nati 
Daughter  of  the  Golden  West,  or 
native  daughter  of  a  Native  Daughl 
of  the  Golden  West,  for  all  time;  th 
such  a  sum  as  we  can  afford  from  t 
Grand  Parlor  Treasury  be  set  asi 
this  year  and  each  succeeding  ye 
until  the  scholarship  is  establishe 
that  all  applicants  be  selected  by  t 
Grand  Parlor  by  a  competitive  exai 
ination  held  by  the  Board  of  Directc 
of  the  Grand  Parlor  during  the  fi 
two  days  of  the  Grand  Parlor  S( 
sion." 

Considerable  discussion  was  he 
motions  made  and  rescinded,  and 
was  finally  decided  that  a  commit! 
be  appointed  to  formulate  a  circul 
to  be  submitted  to  the  subordini 
parlors  relative  to  the  scholarship. 

Past  Grand  President  Maria 
Bertola  also  offered  the  follow! 
resolution:  "Resolved,  That  our  11 
shall  not  be  used  by  us  as  drajx 
about  altars  or  tables,  etc.,  and  tl 
no  printing  be  allowed  upon  it.  a 
that  wc  use  our  influence  upon  t 
public  to  discontinue  any  such  dc 

CALIFORNIA  HER/ 


ition."  The  motion  was  of  course 
opted.  Because  of  her  great  patriot- 
n,  and  her  constant  efforts  on  behalf 
the  Flag  of  our  country,  PGP  Ber- 
a  came  to  be  known  as  our  "Flag 
and  President." 

Here  and  there  in  the  various  pro- 
jdings  mention  is  made  of  histori- 
l  relics.  I  wonder  if  any  record  has 
en  kept,  and  if  their  present  where- 
outs  is  known.  Many  of  them  would 

suitable  for  preservation  in  the 
itive  Daughters  Museum.  At  this 
and  Parlor  the  following  resolution 
IS  made  and  adopted: 
"Resolved,  that  the  Golden  Key 
ssented  to  the  Grand  Parlor  by  the 
izens  of  Sonora  be  loaned  for  ex- 
3ition  in  the  Jewel  Room  of  the 
useum  at  Golden  Gate  Park,  San

;  Grand  President  be  empowered 

expend  such  a  sum  as  will  be 
cessary  to  make  a  suitable  case 
r  it."

JANUARY,  1962    *    35«t 


SPECIAL  COLLFCTIONS 


Joseph  Bennerscheidt,  Anaheim's 
pioneer  tinsmith,  possessed  an  agile 
mind  that  seemed  capable  of  darting 
in  several  directions  at  the  same  time. 
His  fellow  townsmen  simply  describ- 
ed him  as  a  man  who  always  had  "a 
lot  of  irons  in  the  fire." 

That  Joe  was  a  master  craftsman, 
everyone  agreed.  To  him  the  early 
vintners  came  for  accurate  wine 
measures,  but  their  demands  were 
not  suiiicient  to  occupy  his  tune  and 
energy  and  he  turned  to  additional 
pursuits. 

He  established  a  fine  hardware 
store  well  stocked  with  pots  and  pans 
and  the  latest  models  of  wood  burn- 
ing kitchen  ranges.  He  was  handy  at 
drilling  water  wells.  Yes,  Joe  could  do 
just  about  anything,  and  do  it  well, 
too! 

He  built  a  plant  to  manufacture 
illuminating  gas.  It  was  a  fairly  suc- 
cessful venture  with  a  number  of 
pleased  customers.  Then  he  turned 
to  the  distribution  of  domestic  water, 
a  business  which  proved  both  popular 
and  profitable,  so  much  so,  indeed, 
that  the  city  fathers  decided  that  he 
should  pay  a  business  license. 

Joe  did  not  agree.  He  rebelled  vo- 
coiferously.  He  ignored  all  demands 
to  pay.  The  local  officials  were  men 
of  strong  determination,  or,  as  Joe 
saw  it,  they  were  stubborn. 

Two  years  of  litigation  followed. 
Joe  was  alternately  arrested  and  sued 
for  civil  damages.  In  case  after  case 
he  was  the  triumphant  winner.  Per- 
haps the  secret  of  his  success  was  the 
fact  that  he  had  a  skillful  lawyer 
named  Henry  Chenowyth.  At  any 
rate  Joe's  luck  left  him  when  Cheno- 
wyth was  appointed  city  attorney. 
After  this  occurred  the  usual  demand

IVl  y  neighbor  has  great  wealth 

I  may  not  share. 
Tall  hedges  guard  his  lawns 

With  iron  gates  where 
A  privileged  few  may  pass. 

No  friendly  light 
Escapes  from  his  walled  windows 

In  the  night. 


And  yet  my  neighbor  shares 

A  joy  with  me  .  .  . 
Above  the  hedge  a  liquid

Audaciously  flaunts  leaves 

Of  gorgeous  hue 
Against  a  background  of  the

W  HAVE  A  VOLUME  of  pocms  entitled 
JJ,  Pagan  Road  in  which  its  author 
inscribed,  "For  Leo  J.  Friis,  a  fellow 
spirit,  Gordon  W.  Norris,  November 
6,  1956."  It  is  difficult  for  me  to 
realize  that  five  years  have  passed 
since  Norris  visited  me  in  Anaheim 
and  we  chatted  gaily  about  the  glori- 
ous history  of  our  golden  State. 


tits 


He  was  our  Poet  Laureate  and  to 
use  his  own  words,  he  had  "worn  out 
three  Buicks  travelling  up  and  down 
the  State  talking  about  California." 
Poor  Norris  will  travel  no  more.  On 
December  17,  1961,  he  was  killed 
in  an  automobile  accident  near 
Blythe. 

He  was  born  in  Redlands  in  1907 


Gordon  W.  Norris 


JANUARY,  1962 


and  from  his  father,  Matthew  Tyler 
Norris,  he  inherited  an  intense  love 
for  California.  The  elder  Norris  was 
the  first  child  born  of  English  speak- 
ing parents  in  the  San  Gabriel  Valley. 

Gordon  W.  Norris  commenced 
writing  verse  in  his  youth  and  attain- 
ed state  wide  recognition  with  the 
publication  of  his  first  book  of  poems, 
Golden  Empire. 

On  January  17,  1953,  State  Sena- 
tor Jack  B.  Tenney  of  Los  Angeles  in- 
troduced Senate  Concurrent  Resolu- 
tion No.  33  appointing  Norris,  Poet 
Laureate  of  California.  A  similar  re- 
solution was  introduced  in  the  As- 
sembly by  Assemblywoman  Dorothy 
M.  Donahoe  of  Bakersfield.  Both 
resolutions  were  unanimously  adopt- 
ed June  9,  1953. 

While  these  resolutions  were  being 
processed  in  the  Legislature  many 
citizens  and  organizations  throughout 
the  State  gave  them  enthusiastic  en- 
dorsement. Norris  told  me  that  the 
Native  Daughters  were  especially 
warm  in  their  support,  a  fact  that  he 
deeply  appreciated. 

The  poems  of  Golden  Empire  con- 
stituted a  salute  to  California's  Cen- 
tennial as  a  State.  They  touch  on 
many  facets  of  our  early  history.  The 
section  devoted  to  the  Missions  is 
appropriately  called  "On  the  Trail  of 
the  Brown  Robe." 

Norris  gave  me  permission  to  quote 
from  his  books  of  poems  and  I  am 
sure  that  he  would  be  happy  to  have 
me  select  this  one  from  Golden  Em- 
pire. It  is  called

Ruins  crumble  like  aging

Still    the   hounds   of   the   years

through;

©jj^HAT  Disneyland  is  in  Anaheim 
^  is  a  fact  familiar  to  all  but  how 
many  realize  or  have  heard  of  the 
small,  natural,  land-locked  harbor  on 
the  coast,  about  twelve  miles  distant 
from  Anaheim?  How  many  have  been 
informed  of  the  vital  part  it  played  in 
the  early  days  of  Anaheim  and  Santa 
Ana  Valley?  The  same  colonists  who 
settled  Anaheim  in  1857,  also  named 
the  small  harbor,  Anaheim  Landing. 
It  was  from  here  that  much  of  the 
lumber  and  supplies  used  in  building 
their  first  homes  was  landed.  Yes,  a 
scattered  few  have  heard  there  was 
such  a  place.  However  its  story  is  all 
but  lost  save  a  line  or  two  in  the  his- 
tory of  southern  California  cities  and 
Orange  County.  Yet  Anaheim  Land- 

PAQE  4 


ing  ties  in  closely  with  the  history  ot 
Anaheim,  Los  Angeles,  and  the  San- 
ta Ana  Valley,  even  as  far  as  San 
Bernardino. 

In  those  early  days  overland  tra- 
vel was  long  and  hazardous.  Lack  of 
refrigeration  prevented  the  carrying 
of  products  overland  for  any  consider- 
able distance.  An  outlet  to  the  sea 
was  vital  for  the  prosperity  of  the 
colony,  so  the  colonists  banded  to- 
gether and  formed  the  Anaheim 
Lighter  Company  in  1860.  Frederick 
Schneider  served  as  president  and 
August  Langcnberger  as  the  secretary 
and  general  manager.  Among  others 
interested  in  the  enterprise  were  J.  P. 
Zeyn,  F.  A.  Korn  and  Ben  Dreyfus. 

The   company   first   established   a 


warehouse  on  the  bay  above  Seal 
Beach,  but  was  soon  moved  to  Ana- 
heim Landing,  having  decided  that 
the  bay  entrance  was  better  suited  to 
the  management  of  lighters  plying  be- 
tween the  land  and  the  steamers 
coming  as  close  to  land  as  they  dared. 
Work  was  started  on  the  wharf  and 
storehouse  inside  the  entrance  to  the 
bay.  This  project  was  completed  in 
the  fall  of  1864. 

The  Anaheim  Lighter  Company's 
stock  of  $20,000  was  owned  chiefly 
by  people  of  Anaheim  and  West- 
minster. Four  lighters  were  built  that 
first  year  at  a  cost  of  $7,000.  Thes6 
lighters  were  big  flat  bottomed 
barges  or  scows. 

On  December  31,  1864,  a  report 
published  in  a  Los  Angeles  paper 
stated:  "A  commodious  warehouse, 
permanent  wharf  and  new  and  safe 
lighters  have  been  constructed  at 
Anaheim  Landing  for  the  accomo- 
dation of  shippers  of  wine,  wool  and 
other  products  from  Anaheim  and 
surrounding  territory." 

Outside  the  entrance  a  buoy  was 
placed  about  300  yards  from  the 
shore.  A  cable  was  stretched  to  the 
wharf.  This  buoy  was  firmly  an- 
chored. The  cable  ran  through  rings 
attached  to  the  lighters  and  by  pull- 
ing on  the  rope  the  sailors  moved  the 
lighter  in  or  out.  Ships  anchored  near 
the  buoy  to  load  or  unload. 

Later  a  well  constructed  18  mile 
dirt  road  was  built  from  Anaheim 
over  which  wagon  trains  hauled 
cargo  to  and  from  the  port.  A  stage 
coach  also  operated  over  the  road 
to  accommodate  travelers  and  plea- 
sure seekers. 

It  was  not  long  before  a  regular 
c  o  a  s  t  w  i  s  e-trade  was  established, 
steamers  coming  two  or  three  times 
a  week.  Lumber,  household  goods 
and  clothing  were  imported  from  San 
Francisco.  The  bricks  for  the  home 
of  Anaheim's  first  mayor.  Max  Stro- 
bel,  were  unloaded  at  Anaheim 
Landing.  (This  house  still  stands.) 
Wine,  corn,  sheep,  wool  and  other 
products  of  the  Santa  Ana  Valley 
were  exported. 

The  entrance  to  the  harbor  was 
treacherous  and  disasters  sometimes 
occurred.  Several  men  lost  their  lives 
by  drowning.  Anaheim  Landing 
served  the  Santa  Ana  Valley  as  a 
port  of  entry  for  fifteen  years.  In 
1876  the  Southern  Pacific  built  the

RCADIA       BaNDINI      SCOTT" 

"Well,  that  certainly  would 
have  given  you  away  alright.  Sorry 
I  was  so  sharp.  They  would  not  in- 
troduce you  to  me  or  tell  me  your 
name  —  just  that  I  must  find  you 
myself.  I  needed  only  to  wach  how 
you  carried  yourself  while  walking." 
What  a  feather  in  my  cap,  this  com- 
ment was. 

A  charming  girl  I  met  and  liked 
very  much  was  Josephine  Blackburn 
from  Paso  Robles.  One  day  when  her 
family  was  visiting  at  school,  they 
heard  about  the  new  girl  from  Los 
Angeles  —  result,  when  hearing  the 
name,  Mrs.  Blackburn  asked  to  meet 
me,  and  I  was  called  to  the  parlor. 
Why?  Well,  Mrs.  Blackburn  wanted 
to  tell  me  personally  of  a  wonderful 
experience  in  her  childhood.  Her 
parents  were  driving  north  from  Paso 
Robles  to  San  Francisco,  to  attend 
the  famous  Russian  Ball,  (this  was 
during  the  years  a  large  colony  of 
them  were  in  California)  so,  after 
much  talk  of  the  coming  event  at 
home,  its  importance  in  California 
History,  as  so  many  prominent 
members  of  Spanish  descent  were  to 
be  present,  especially,  Doiia  Arcadia 
Bandini  de  Stearns,  and  Don  Abel 
Stearns,  her  parents  decided  to  take 
a  child  of  eight,  to  see  in  person,  the 
most  beautiful  and  wealthiest  woman 
in  the  West,  and  she  was  saying, 
how  they  stopped  at  night  with 
friends,  eased  the  long  ride. 

The  following  is  her  description 
of  Mrs.  Steams,  "a  young  woman 
dressed  in  a  cherry-red  velvet  gown 
made  very  plain;  all  covered  with 
Brussels  point  applique  lace;  wide, 
full  skirted  lace  reached  in  width 
from  waist  to  hem  of  skirt  —  long 
ends  draped  over  bodice;  the  wrap, 
a  rose  point  lace  shawl.  Her  slippers 
of  the  same  velvet,  diamond-studded 

I  JANUARY,  1962 


toe  and  heel  caps  finished  off  this 
gorgeous  gown  and  its  rose  point  fan. 

The  slippers  with  the  diamond- 
studded  heels  and  toes  that  sUpped 
on  and  oft'  were  wonderful  works  by 
Schreves,  a  famous  jeweler  in  San 
Francisco. 

These  diamond  pieces  and  fan,  I 
saw  often.  A  piece  of  the  velvet,  I 
have  in  a  small  circular  cape  and  the 
Brussels  point  applique  is  mine,  not 
in  a  dress  now,  but  used  as  a  wedding 
veil  by  my  daughter  and  daughter- 
in-law.  Both  wore  my  lace  wedding 
dress  in  church  services  as  I  had 
done  many  years  before. 

The  rose  point  lace  shawl,  at  the 
time  of  Tia's  death  on  September  15, 
1912  at  Santa  Monica,  was  draped 
on  the  bodice  of  a  black  velvet  dress; 
a  wide  length  of  the  same  rose  point 
covered  the  skirt  completely  in  soft 
pleats  at  the  belt  —  this  was  Tia's 
favorite  dress,  in  every  way  her  pet. 

So,  v/hen  the  lady  mortician  asked 
for  a  dress,  I  brought  this  one  out  of 
the  closet,  and  when  she  saw  it,  she 
looked  at  me  with  surprise,  then  said. 


"What?  That  gorgeous  gown  going  to 
be  a  shroud?"  I  said  "Yes.  May  I 
help  you  put  it  on  please?" 

Like  a  beautiful  alabaster  statue 
she  lay  now.  So  slender  since  linger- 
ing three  weeks  after  her  one  and 
only  stroke.  Personally  I  combed  her 
own  white  hair  and  helped  put  the 
dress  on.  A  wonderful  peace  came 
over  mc  doing  this  final  act  of  love. 
A  beautiful  resting  statue  lay  all 
white  in  a  strong  steel  casket.  A 
heavy  glass  top  inner  lid  closed  down 
tight  by  suction.  No  one  can  bother 
you  now,  my  Tia,  I  kept  thinking,  as 
the  glass,  two  inches  thick  or  more, 
took  its  time  to  settle. 

The  explosion  came  from  the  rela- 
tives when  they  saw  what  1  had  done, 
but  they  could  do  nothing  about  it. 
No  regret  has  ever  been  mine;  a 
beautiful  memory  with  wonderful 
relief;  a  very  wonderful  and  beautiful 
young  looking  grand  aunt  sleeping 
till  I  join  her  in  time,  is  now  free  from 
so  many  over  zealous  relatives.

MAE  B.  Wilkin,  Sixth  Grand 
President  of  The  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West,  Senior 
Past  Grand  President  since  1941,  a 
charter  member  of  Santa  Cruz  Par- 
lor No.  26,  was  called  Home  on  Sat- 
urday, November  11,  1961  at  11:45 
a.  m.  Her  earthly  sojourn  of  four 
score  and  thirteen  years  is  ended. 

Mae  Wilkin  was  born  on  May  13, 
1 868  at  Carlisle,  Nevada  County,  the 
daughter  of  Daisy  Tarbell  of  Cam- 
den, Maine,  and  Stephen  Wilkin,  who 
came  to  California  from  Ohio  via  the 
Isthmus  of  Panama  in  1849.  An  older 
brother,  Francis  B.  Wilkin,  now  de- 
ceased, was  also  born  in  the  Yuba 
River  District,  and  was  the  only  other 
member  of  the  family.  Her  first  school 
days  were  spent  in  Oakland  to  which 
the  family  had  moved,  later  going  to 
Virginia  City,  Nevada.  With  the  col- 
lapse of  the  Comstock  Mines,  the 
family  moved  to  Santa  Cruz.  She  was 
graduated  from  the  Business  College 
at  Santa  Cruz  where  she  later  taught 
/or  several  years. 

On  March  17,  1888,  she  became 
a  charter  member  of  Santa  Cruz.  Par-

lor.  Four  years  later,  after  serving 
her  Parlor  as  Financial  Secretary, 
Recording  Secretary  and  Vice  Presi- 
dent, during  which  time  she  was  also 
Grand  Trustee  for  two  terms  and 
Grand  Vice  President,  she  was  elected 
to  the  office  of  Grand  President  in 
1892  and  presided  in  1893  at  Wat- 
son ville;  the  youngest  Grand  Presi- 
dent to  date.  It  is  interesting  to  note 
that  after  she  served  as  Grand  Presi- 
dent, she  returned  to  her  own  Par- 
lor to  become  its  President  for  the 
first  time. 

During  her  years  as  Grand  Presi- 
dent, seven  parlors  were  instituted 
under  her  supervision:  Oneonta  No. 
71,  Ferndale;  Las  Lomas  No.  72, 
San  Francisco;  Golden  Rod  No.  73, 
Winters;  California  No.  74,  Marys- 
ville;  Veritas  No.  75,  Merced;  Cres- 
cent No.  76,  Crescent  City  and  Juan- 
ita  No.  77,  Amador  City.  Three  ot 
these  parlors  are  still  active:  Oneonta, 
Lcs  Lomas  and  Veritas. 

In  1892  The  Grand  Parlor  of  The 
Native  Daughters  of  The  Golden 
West  established  a  Board  of  Reliet 
within  the  Order.  Its  purpose  was  the 


welfare  of  the  members  when  away 
from  home.  Miss  Wilkin  was  one  oi 
the  initial  and  active  members  of  the 
Board.  In  1 899  a  residence  was  open- 
ed in  S  a  n  F  r  a  n  c  i  s  c  o  for  Native 
Daughters.  Miss  Wilkin  and  her 
mother,  Mrs.  D.  T  Wilkin,  moved  in. 
The  latter  donated  her  services  to  the 
maintenance  of  a  comfortable  home 
for  young  women  working  and  living 
away  from  their  homes.  After  her 
retirement  from  business  activities  in 
1938,  Miss  Wilkin  became  a  perma- 
nent resident  of  the  Home  at  555 
Baker  Street. 

The  Past  Grand  Presidents  honor- 
ed her  in  Santa  Cruz  at  the  1953 
Grand  Parlor,  on  the  occasion  of  her 
60th  Anniversary  as  Grand  President. 
A  reception  was  given  in  her  honor 
in  1957  at  the  Native  Daughter  Home 
for  her  68  years  of  service  to  the  Or- 
der that  she  loved  so  dearly.  Coinci- 
dentally,  the  chairman  of  this  affair 
was  Alice  D.  Shea,  who  is  presiding 
today  as  our  Grand  President.

have  given  a  service  to  our  Order 
that  can  never  be  forgotten. 

Six  months  of  my  year  have  pass-

exceedingly  pleasant.  It  has  been  so 
nice  to  meet  and  greet  so  many  of 
our  sisters  in  their  home  Parlors.  I 
am  looking  forward  to  the  remainder 
of  my  term  with  even  greater  plea-

/CTIT'   HE    STORY   OF   HERITAGE 

^-\J|[_  House  and  the  things  in  it 
is  presented  in  honor  of  the  grand 
and  great-grandparents  who  played 
as  children  in  Compton  Village  dur- 
ing the  years  of  settlement.  Every- 
thing in  Heritage  House  is  like  what 
the  people  might  have  used  in  Comp- 
ton during  the  1870's  and  '80's. 
Some  articles  really  were  used  in 
Compton  and  some  even  used  right 
here  in  Heritage  House. 

Down  through  the  years  all  the 
different  families  who  have  lived  in 
this  house  have  helped  to  make  its 
story,  although  they  did  not  know  it 
then.  The  first  school  teacher  of  the 
village  lived  in  Heritage  House  when 
it  was  brand  new.  Village  boys  played 
in  the  road  in  front  of  Heritage 
House  and  went  swimming  in  the 
slough  near  where  cars  whizz  down 
busy  Alameda  now.  Two  little  girls, 
who  often  wandered  by,  wanted  to 
name  their  Christmas  dolls  Quinine 
and  Potash.  Dr.  Downs  (Compton's 
third  doctor)  had  been  called  to  their 
home  and  he  caught  their  fancy  with 
the  names  of  the  medicine  he  pre- 
scribed. 

A  visit  to  Heritage  House  in 
Compton,  Los  Angeles  County,  is  a 
treat  for  young  and  old  alike.  Repre- 
sented here  are  just  a  few  of  the 
many  items  found  at  Heritage  House.

gn  CTioN,  ADVENTURE  and  ro- 
jjj^  mance  fill  the  pages  of  Calif- 
ornia's last  century  of  history.  With- 
out the  great  natural  wealth  of  water, 
soil,  forest,  mines  and  petroleum,  the 
interesting  history  could  never  have 
been  written.  During  the  most  recent 
40  years  water  has  been  harnessed 
to  supply  the  cheap  electrical  energy 
and  to  transform  the  vast  areas  of 
semidesert  to  veritable  garden  lands 
of  plenty. 

There  is  no  state  in  the  Union  more 
dependent  on  her  resources  than  is 
California.  Every  drop  of  water  and 
every  stick  of  lumber  is  needed  if 
we  are  to  meet  the  challenge  of  an 
expanding  population.  We  cannot 
meet  this  challenge  if  we  continue  to 
allow  the  number  of  careless  man- 
caused  forest  fires  to  start  and  sacri- 
fice our  resources. 


GUIDE  FOR 
NEW  HOME  BUYERS: 


Look  for  this 
mark  of  electrical  excellence, 

THE  MEDALLION  HOME  AWARD 

on  the  home  you  buy 

It  is  awarded  only  to  the  one  new 
home  in  5  that  is  electrically 
up-to-date  with: 

•  electric  appliances,  including  a 
flameless  range  and  oven 

•  provisions  for    functional    and 
decorative  lighting 

•  "housepower"  weiring  for  present 
and  future  needs

Smokey  is  the  official  symbol  of 
America's  as  well  as  other  countries' 
forest  fire  prevention  campaign.  In 
the  United  States  the  program  is 
sponsored  by  the  U.  S.  Forest  Service, 
the  Association  of  State  Foresters  and 
the  Advertising  Council.  Now  in  its 
21st  year,  this  campaign  is  America's 
oldest  public  service  campaign.  It  is 
the  only  one  produced  in  the  West. 
Even  though  the  Smokey  Bear  fire 
prevention  program  has  reduced  the 
number  of  man-caused  forest  fires 
in  the  past,  help  is  still  necessary 
from  everyone  for  there  is  a  big  job 
still  to  be  done. 

In  the  1962  Tournament  of  Roses 
parade,  the  Native  Sons  and  Daugh- 
ters in  cooperation  with  the  U.  S. 
Forest  Service,  the  Association  of 
State  Foresters,  local  fire  agencies  and 
the  Advertising  Council  sponsored 
a  beautiful  float  which  presented  the 
appropriate  and  timely  message  of 
fire  prevention  in  the  world's  forests 
on  an  international  basis  with  its 
theme  "Preventing  Forest  Fires  A- 
round  the  World".  The  float  won 
third  in  the  fraternal,  patriotic  and 
musical  organizations  division. 

As  a  New  Year's  resolution  won't 
you,  as  Smokey  says,  "Be  careful 
with  matches,  with  smokes,  with 
campfires,  with  every  fire.  Remember 
only  you  can  prevent  forest  fires!"

ANAHEIM  LANDING  ...

first  railroad  into  what  is  now  Or- 
ange County.  This  was  the  beginning; 
of  the  end  for  the  little  harbor.  Ii 
was  used  less  and  less  and  in  a  few 
years  all  that  remained  was  the  ok 
wharf  and  storehouse  as  a  remindei 
of  its  past  glory. 

In  those  prosperous  years  all  wa; 
not  work.  Anaheim  Landing  becam( 
a  favorite  resort  of  the  farmers  livinj 
inland.  Hotels  and  a  bath  hous( 
sprang  up  to  take  care  of  the  visitors 
When  the  weather  grew  hot  inland 
the  ranchers  would  bring  their  fami 
lies  for  a  cool  outing  by  the  sea 
They  would  rise  early  in  the  morn 
ning  and  drive  the  dusty  miles  to  th( 
beach.  It  took  them  two  to  threi 
hours  to  drive  the  same  distance  \v. 
now  can  do  in  twenty  or  thirty  min 
utes.  In  her  memoirs,  the  grea 
actress  Helena  Modjeska  describes 
trip  to  the  Landing  where  she  an^ 
her  family  visited  Henryk  Sienkie 
wicz,  author  of  Quo  Vadis. 

The  year  1876  marks  the  passin 
of  the  era  of  shipping  from  Anaheir 
Landing,  but  as  its  fame  as  a  harbo 
dwindled  its  popularity  as  a  place  c 
recreation  and  amusement  increasec 

Even  as  late  as  1894  there  wer 
no  stores  or  even  fresh  water  avail 
able  for  the  picnickers.  Some  fan- 
ilies  came  for  the  entire  summei 
others  for  shorter  stays.  Such  farr 
ilies  spent  weeks  preparing  for  th. 
outing.  Some  groups  lived  in  tent: 
others  in  cook  houses  —  used  in  th 
harvest  season  and  moved  from  or 
harvest  to  another.  It  was  an  ide; 
spot  for  children  and  adults,  wit 
endless  beach,  excellent  still  watt 
for  swimming  and  surf  for  fishin 
and  bathing. 

The  island  (peninsula,  now  a  pa 
of  Seal  Beach  Ammunition  Depot 
was  a  fascinating  place  with  sar 
dunes  and  another  beach  on  the  f; 
oceanward  side.  One  early  reside; 
of  Seal  Beach  remembers  her  fathi 
swimming  across  the  channel  to  tl 
"island"  with  one  of  the  children  c 
his  back. 

Very  popular  at  the  time  also  wc 
the  row  boats  available  for  tl 
scenic  trips  away  back  in  the  slougl 
landward  from  Sunset  Beach  at 
Surfside.  Pismo  clams  were  so  pic 
tiful  that  anyone  could  dig  enou{ 
for  a  meal  whenever  desired.

erd  since  1932  and  is  a  non-profit, 
on-sectarian  institution  open  to  girls 
f  any  race,  color  or  creed. 

Through  the  efforts  of  the  Com- 
littee  funds  were  raised  for  the  girls 
y  means  of  a  bazaar  where  articles 
/ere  sold  which  had  been  hand  made 
*y  members  of  most  of  the  Parlors 
if  Alameda  County.  In  addition,  the 
lembers  donated  Christmas  presents 
/hich  were  distributed  on  Christmas

crowd  attended.  It  was  open  to  the 
public.  The  Hawaiian  theme  was  car-

ored slides  of  H  a  w  a  i  i  with  Arthur 
Godfrey  as  narrator  on  tape.  The 
hall  was  decorated  with  leis,  hats,

had  their  own  respective  booths. 
Those  in  charge  of  the  booths  were 
costumed  in  muu  muus  and  leis.

A  handsome  California  Bear  Flag 
was  presented  to  the  submarine 
"Plunger"  in  a  brief  ceremony  De- 
cember 8,  1961.  The  flag  was  a  gift 
from  the  Native  Sons  and  Daughters

MEMORIAL  MUSEUM 

Coalinga  Parlor  No.  270  acted  as 
hostess  at  the  dedication  of  the  R.  C. 
Baker  Memorial  Museum  in  Coal- 
inga. Parlor  members  were  also  host- 
esses at  the  Open  House  held  the 
following  evening. 


Serving  at  the  R.  C.  Baker  Me- 
morial Museum  open  house  were 
from  left:  Beatriz  Ciesielska,  Vir- 
ginia Birdwell  and  Mae  Lowry. 
These  ladies  wore  original  dresses  oj 
early  Coalinga  pioneers  for  this 
occasion. 

During  the  dedication  ceremony, 
Carmel  Birdwell  presented  a  Califor- 
nia Bear  Flag  from  Coalinga  Parlor 
to  the  Museum  Committee.  Those 
who  acted  as  hostesses  wore  gowns 
popular  at  the  turn  of  the  century, 
some  having  been  worn  by  early  Cali- 
fornia pioneers.  The  hostesses  in- 
cluded Carmel  Birdwell,  Virginia 
Birdwell,  Mae  Louise  Lowry,  Paul- 
ine Smart,  Bea  Ciesielska,  Helen  Co- 
wan and  Dora  Phelps. 

Coalinga  Parlor  has  been  very  in- 
terested in  the  establishment  of  this 
museum  and  contributed  $100.00  to 
help  renovate  the  building  for  mus- 
eum display.  Featured  are  all  early 
day  oil  tools  and  many  of  the  rock 
and  fossil  formations  native  to  the 
Coalinga  and  Kettleman  Hills  area. 


Among  the  floral  displays  received  by 
a  new  store  on  the  occasion  of  its  opening 
was  one  which  bore  a  card  reading:  "Deep- 
est Sympathy." 

The  manager  immediately  telephoned 
the  florist. 

But,  the  disturbed  florist  replied:  "What 
about  the  other  party  that  received  the 
card  intended  for  you?  It  read:  'Congrat- 
ulations on  your  new  location'."

13ft  W.  Center  yv.    Anamcim,Cal. 


During  her  residence  in  the  Native 
Daughter  Home  she  has  made  many 
wonderful  friendships,  especially 
Adeline  Sandersfeld  of  Castro  Par- 
lor —  whom  she  called  "Sandy  — 
My  Right  Arm,"  Mildred  Baird  oi 
her  own  Parlor  (Santa  Cruz)  and 
many,  many  others.  The  parlors  that 
meet  in  the  Home  —  Dolores,  Buena 
Vista,  Oro  Fino  and  Las  Lomas  have 
always  been  happy  to  have  her  visit 
them,  which  she  frequently  did. 

Las  Lomas  Parlor,  which  I  am  rep- 
resenting, was  the  second  parlor  she 
instituted  in  1892.  We  lovingly  called 
her  "Our  Ma"  and  she  in  turn  said 
that  we  were  "Bad  children  —  but 
she  loved  us  anyway."  One  of  our 
faithful  members  visited  her  last  week 
at  the  hospital,  and  although  Mae  did 
not  know  her  at  first,  a  little  later  she 
said,  "When  is  your  next  meeting  — 
give  the  girls  my  love,"  which  we  in- 
terpret as  her  "Good  Bye"  to  us. 

On  May  1 3  of  this  year,  Mae  Wil- 
kin reached  the  age  of  93  —  very 
close  to  a  century  of  living.  During 
these  years  she  has  witnessed  man) 
changes  in  the  history  of  California, 
living  through  the  "Stage  Coach 
Era"  right  up  to  the  present  day  "Jet 
Age."  Through  it  all  she  has  remain- 
ed young  in  heart  and  spirit;  activelj 
interested  and  loyal  to  her  own  par- 
lor, Santa  Cruz,  her  order,  her  state 
her  country,  and  most  of  all  —  to  hei 
friends.  Along  with  her  interest  in 
the  Native  Daughters,  she  was  i 
member  of  the  Copa  de  Oro  Chapte; 
of  The  Daughters  of  the  Americar 
Revolution  and  The  Business  am 
Professional  Womens'  Clubs  of  Sai 
Francisco  and  Oakland. 

Yes,  a  distinguished  and  belovec 
Past  Grand  President  has  left  us  bu 
may  her  brilliant  mind,  vivid  memon 
for  details  concerning  past  activitiei 
of  Grand  Parlor,  keen  sense  of  humo: 
and  the  kindly  counsel  given  to  al 
who  sought  her  advice  be  an  inspira 
tion  to  all  the  members  of  our  Order 
Farewell  dear  Mae  —  may  you: 
journey  be  Heaven-bound,  and  you 
soul  remain  there  in  peace  througl 
all  eternity!

REPE  SUZETTES 

No  doubt  you  have  eaten  those 
elicious  pancake  gourmet  morsels 
ailed  crepe  suzettes,  but  do  you 
now  who  invented  them?  It  was 
[enri  Charpentier,  who  was  some- 
mes  aptly  called  the  "Toscanini  of 
le  Kitchen  Spatula." 

Mr.  Charpentier  had  prepared 
Lilinary  delights  for  such  persons  as 
lueen  Victoria,  King  Edward  VII  of 
England,  King  Leopold  of  Belgium, 
arah  Bernhardt,  Lillian  Russell, 
ohn  D.  Rockefeller,  Sr.  and  Theo- 
ore  Roosevelt.  In  1946  he  came  to 
Ledondo  Beach,  California,  with  $10 
1  his  pocket  after  having  lost  a  for- 
me as  a  restaurateur  in  New  York. 

In  his  tiny  home  there  he  began  to 
repare  and  serve  dinners  to  parties 
f  12,  all  his  dining  room  could  seat 
omfortably.  Word  of  his  culinary 
lasterpieces  spread  and  eventually  it 
'as  necessary  to  make  reservations 
NO  years  in  advance  to  obtain  a  din- 
er which  would  cost  $8  per  plate, 
"he  dinners  always  ended  with  the 
elicacy,  crepe  suzettes.  While  diners 
1  his  little  salon  savored  his  delica- 
ies,  he  often  sat  nearby  in  a  rocker, 
igaling  his  guests  with  recollections 
f  the  past. 

Just  the  day  before  Christmas, 
961,  at  the  age  of  81,  this  famed  in- 
entor  of  the  crepe  suzette  passed 
way  at  Redondo  Beach.

POET  LAUREATE  .  .  . 

(Continued  from  Page  3) 

Mourning  doves  are  Sisters 

grieving.  .  . 
Now  the  crop  of  silence  fills. 
Where  the  Spanish  grapes  once 

purpled 
As  on  far  Castilian  hills. 
Now  the  piping  quail  are  lonely 
Where  the  field  and  flock  are 

gone; 
Desert  blows  the  sullen  decades. 
Cursing  prayer  and  antiphon. 
Then,    from   wilderness,    Calif- 
ornia 
Floods  remembrance  down  the 

breast. 
Posturing  mind  and  soul  in  wor- 
ship, 
Calling  the  Mission  days  from 

rest. 
But  the  weed-lorn  campo  santo 
Wraps   its   dead   at   the   fallen 

rood. 
Where  a  whisper,  like  a  head- 
stone. 
Cries  forever,  "Solitude!" 
In  a  footnote  on  the  page  where 
this  beautiful  poem  appears,  Norris 
explains  that  Mission  Soledad  is  be- 
ing restored  by  the  Native  Daughters. 
Golden  Empire  contains  some  fine 
poems  dedicated  to  the  Argonauts, 
probably  the  best  of  these  being  the 
one  whose  title  is  the  same  as  the 
book.    Calif  ornian    is    appropriately 
dedicated   to   the   Native   Daughters 
and  Native   Sons.   There   are   other 
superb  verses,  but  none  I  like  better 
than    his    California    Condor   which 
commences: 

Upon  the  silver  arrogance  of  air, 
With   heaven   hung,   immensity 

your  reign, 
Creation's    ebon    shadow,    soli- 
taire. 
Monarch  of  the  void  of  hurri- 
cane. 
Pagan  Road,  Norris' s  second  book 
of  poems,  is  in  a  different  vein.  Here 
he  spreads  beyond  the  domain  of  his 
beloved  State.  Now,  his  poems  not 
only  sing  —  they  fly!  In  his  introduc- 


tion to  the  book  Lord  Dunsany  ob 
serves,  "Gordon  W.  Norris'  message 
is  more  than  anything  else  a  call  tc 
turn  to  eternal  values,  and  to  tell  us 
as  he  does  again  and  again,  that  thf 
temporary  values  cannot  replact 
them;  or,  to  put  it  in  plainer  language 
still,  a  call  to  the  open  country  fron 
the  city." 

With  Pagan  Road  Norris  ha 
reached  a  maturity  of  thought,  a 
when  he  writes: 

The  sea  is  my  foremother;  oi 
her  breast 
My  cell  lay  by  the  Proterozoi( 
shore; 
Then  multiplying  with  a  Strang 
unrest. 
Crawled  to  the  sun,  and  turn 
ed  to  her  no  more. 
From    such    profundity    the    Poe! 
Laureate  leaps  nimbly  to  such  daint 
delights  as  To  a  Monarch  Butterfl 
which  he  describes  as 

Colored  like  a  Chinese  far 
Drunken  small  nectarean. 
Again  he  sings 

Wind    on   the    mountain 

Storm  in  my  throat! 

I  am  a  trumpet 

The  hill-wind  smote. 

Norris  was  honored  by  the  Nativ 

Daughters  and  Native  Sons  at  thei 

Golden    Empire    Ball    given    at   th 

Huntington  Hotel  in  Pasadena  on  Nc 

vember  28,    1953.   On  New  Year 

Day,   1954,  he  rode  on  the  Golde 

Empire  float  entered  in  the  Pasaden 

Tournament  of  Roses  by  the  two  Oj 

ders.

brains,  holding  court  would  be  a 
pleasure.  Take  Gregory  Yale  for  in- 
stance. There  was  a  man  for  you.  He 
stated  his  case  in  a  few  words,  shut 
up,  presented  his  order  and  you  sign- 
ed it  and  that  was  that. 

Now  for  a  "shot"  of  cognac.  The 
judge  strode  to  a  small  cupboard  and 
opened  its  door.  Empty! 

"Jack,"  he  roared,  "where's  my 
cognac?" 

"1  took  it  over  to  the  office  of  Mr. 
Yale,  Judge,"  replied  the  baihff. 

"Who  told  you  to?" 

"You  did;  here's  your  order," 
handing  the  jurist  an  important  look- 
ing document. 

Judge  Almond  scanned  the  paper. 
"Good  cause  appearing  therefor,  it 
is  ordered  that  the  bailiff  of  this  court 
do  forthwith  convey  to  the  office  of 
Gregory  Yale,  Esq.,  that  certain 
demijohn  of  cognac,  now  lying  and 
being  in  and  upon  those  certain 
premises,  known  and  more  particu- 


larly described  as  the  Chambers  of 
the  Honorable  Judge  of  this  Court, 
(signed)  William  B.  Almond, 
Judge." 

Almond  then  remembered.  That 
morning  Yale  had  presented  to  him, 
in  rapid  succession,  several  orders 
which  he  signed  with  scarcely  a 
glance  at  their  contents. 

"The  dirty  pup." 

Snatching  his  hat  the  irate  justice 
stamped  out  of  the  court  house. 

Almond's  tenure  as  judge  was 
brief.  Commencing  with  his  appoint- 
ment in  October,  1849,  he  served 
only  until  May  of  the  following  year 
when  his  court  was  aboUshed. 

Lingering  delightful  memories  of 
Judge  Almond's  eccentricities  over- 
shadow the  fact  that  he  dispensed 
justice  fearlessly,  impartially  and 
speedily  at  a  time  before  an  actual 
legal  system  had  been  established  in 
the  State.  When  he  retired  as  judge 
he  moved  to  San  Jose.

fjV\lf/  Y  PERSONAL  remembrance  of 
JjQl>  Ishi  should  be  termed  the 
'rescue"  of  a  starved  man  instead  of 
the  "capture  of  a  wild  man."  My 
memory  of  this  incident,  which  oc- 
curred when  I  was  a  teenager,  may 
be  a  bit  different  from  reports  of 
others. 

During  the  first  few  years  of  the 
Twentieth  Century  there  were  very 
few  telephones  in  Oroville;  no  radios, 
maybe  one  or  two  automobiles; 
transportation  by  either  wagon,  bug- 
gy or  cart;  and  a  few  bicycles.  How- 
ever, news  traveled  fast. 

On  this  eventful  day,  word  via  the 
"grapevine"  spread  throughout  the 
community  that  a  "wild  man  had 
been  captured  at  the  slaughter  house 
on  Quincy  Road,"  which  was  just  a 
short  distance  from  the  city  limits. 
Those,  whose  curiosity  was  aroused, 
stood  at  the  gate  or  on  the  porch  of 
their  home,  waiting  and  watching 
with  the  hope  they  might  get  a 
glimpse  of  the  captured  wild  man. 
Ves,  I  was  one  of  those  that  waited 
and  watched. 

News  that  dogs  had  treed  a  wild 
man  reached  the  sheriff's  office.  Sher- 
iff John  B.  Webber  delegated  Con- 
stable John  Toland  to  take  the  "wild 
man"  into  custody.  How  well  I  re- 
member Constable  Toland,  a  large 
heavy-set  kindly  man  driving  out  to 


Editor's  Note 

With  the  recent  publication  of 
the  book,  "Ishi  in  Two  Worlds," 
by  Theodora  Kroeber,  we  wrote 
to  PGP  Florence  D.  Boyle,  asking 
her  if  she  had  any  recollections 
about  this  remarkable  Indian. 

In  response  she  graciously 
wrote  this  most  interesting  article 
and  sent  us  a  photo  she  "snapped" 
of  Ishi  on  the  day  he  left  Oroville. 

jpEBRUARY,  1962 


the  slaughter  house  in  his  horse  and 
buggy  —  then  his  return  with  an  odd- 
looking  creature  huddled  on  the  seat 
beside  him.  This  was  no  wild  man. 
He  was  a  thoroughly  frightened, 
starved  Indian.  There  was  no  place 
to  take  him  but  to  the  county  jail. 

As  no  one  could  understand  him 
or  he  understand  the  officers,  the 
sheriff  sent  for  representatives  of  var- 
ious tribes  of  Indians  who  came,  but 
were  unable  to  converse  with  him. 

Great  publicity  was  given  through 
the  newspapers.  A  professor  of  the 
University  of  California,  who  special- 
ized in  Indian  culture,  became  great- 
ly interested  and  came  to  Oroville. 
In  the  meantime  various  housewives 
sent  food  to  the  county  jail  for  the 
starved  man,  but  he  refused  to  eat 
it  Local  Indians  then  suggested  that 
he  be  provided  with  raw  meat  and 
the  materials  with  which  to  make  a 
small   fire   in   the  courtyard.   These 


thoughtful  and  kindly  acts  were  ac- 
cepted with  a  smile  and  soon  the 
mysterious  stranger  was  making  his 
own  fire  and  preparing  his  own  food. 

Groups  of  curious  people  watched. 
Among  one  of  the  groups,  which  I 
shall  always  remember  was  a  gentle- 
man with  a  bag  of  peanuts.  As  he 
watched  the  preparation  of  the  fire 
and  wood  he  would  take  a  peanut 
from  the  old  "circus"  paper  bag, 
crack  the  shell  and  eat  the  nut.  This 
seemed  to  intrigue  the  captured  man. 
At  last  the  gentleman  tossed  him  a 
couple  of  peanuts.  Again  word  flash- 
ed through  the  community,  "He  loves 
peanuts!"  How  proud  I  was  that  I, 
also,  could  give  him  a  five  cent  bag 
of  peanuts. 

On  his  arrival  at  Oroville,  the  pro- 
fessor from  the  University  registered 
at  the  Union  Hotel.  On  his  first  visit 
to  the  jail  he  was  accompanied  by

Ruins  of  the  Palomares  Adobe  be j ore  its  1939  Restoration 

by  Ttoy  J-  JZ>nscoll 


ESiDE  THE  OLD  Camino  de  San 

j£5  Bernardino,  reminiscent 
of  creaking,  ox-drawn  carretas,  lum- 
bering freight  wagons  and  dashing 
stage  coaches,  is  Adobe  de  Palo- 
mares. Authentically  restored  and 
carefully  preserved,  it  is  designated 
by  the  State  Park  Commission  as 
Historical  Landmark  No.  372  at  491 
East  Cucamonga  Avenue  (Arrow 
Highway),   Pomona,   California. 

Prized  as  one  of  the  most  fascin- 
ating and  picturesque  souvenirs  of 
the  colorful  days  of  the  dons,  it 
stands  today  as  a  lasting  memorial  to 
those  bold  and  venturesome  Spanish- 
California  caballeros  who  pioneered 
the  amazing  transformation  that  has 
made  an  untamed  land  of  sagebrush, 
chapparal  and  cienegas  into  one  of 
the  garden  spots  of  the  world. 

The  story  of  the  Adobe  goes  back 
to  1837  when  Don  Ygnacio  Palo- 
mares and  Don  Ricardo  Vejar,  of  the 


Pueblo  of  Los  Angeles,  petitioned  the 
Mexican  governor,  Juan  Bautista 
Alvarado,  for  the  two  leagues  of  va- 
cant land,  approximately  15,000 
acres,  marked  on  the  crude  maps  as 
"San  Jose". 

It  was  one  of  many  loosely  defined 
tracts  of  former  mission  lands  given 
to  outstanding  citizens  as  a  reward 
for  public  service.  "Arroyo  de  Los 
Alisos,"  now  known  as  the  San  An- 
tonio wash  and  the  eastern  boundary 
of  Los  Angeles  County  and  Pomona, 
was  also  its  eastern  boundary.  In- 
cluded was  a  large  part  of  the  present 
Pomc^a  Valley. 


Arrival  at  the  Rancho 

Immediately  upon  receipt  of  wore 
that  their  petition  had  been  granted 
Palomares  and  Vejar  loaded  theii: 
families  and  worldly  goods  into  the 
rumbling  carretas,  and,  accompaniec 
by  their  vaqueros,  servants  and  live- 
stock, set  out  to  establish  thei; 
haciendas  on  their  newly  acquirec 
Rancho  San  Jose. 

As  devout  followers  of  their  faith  i 
the  party  halted  under  the  spreading  j 
branches  of  a  great  oak  tree,  stil 
standing  at  458  Kenoak  Place,  whih! 
Padre  Zalvideo,  who  had  accompan- 
ied them  from  Mission  San  Gabriel 
offered  a  mass  of  thanksgiving  ancj 
pronounced  a  benediction  on  thei 
families  and  their  venture. 

Don  Ygnacio  selected  for  his  firs' 
dwelling  a  site  near  the  present  Gan- 
esha  Park.  It  was  the  first  home  in} 
this  locality  and,  like  others  of  thtj 
period,  its  thick  walls  were  of  adobe 
brick.   After  many   alterations    anc! 
additions  this  structure  is  still  stand ' 
ing  a  1569  North  Park  Avenue.  Dor, 
Ricardo  Vejar,  however,  chose  a  spo 
near  the  rolling  hills  a  few  miles  tc 
the  south. 

Ranching  in  those  early  days  con- 
sisted primarily  in  raising  cattle  anc 
sheep,  and  the  ranchos  prospered  aj 
the  flocks  fattened  and  increased  or 
the  lush  vegetation  around  the  ciene- 
gas. Then,  to  augment  the  prosperity ' 
came  the  fabulous  days  of  the  Gole 
Rush  bringing  greatly  increased  de 
mands  for  sustenance.  Finally  in  the 
early  1850's  Don  Ygnacio  decidec 
that  the  time  had  come  when  he 
could  build  the  casa  of  his  dream; 
to  provide  more  ample  accomoda- 
tions for  his  family  and  hospitalit)

Mother  had  been  a  pet  of  hers  I 
well  knew.  Sister  spoke  of  her  often. 
Mother,  like  so  many  in  this  wonder- 
■amily  of  Bandini  had  talent  —  was 
brilliant  in  music,  bilingual  naturally 
it  home,  acquiring  French  at  school, 
^ould  that  I  had  her  command  of 
EngUsh!  What  a  pleasure  to  hear  her 
ipeak  when  all  went  well  in  her 
ichool  days,  even  years  later  in  mine. 
iVhat  a  finished  polishing  of  express- 
on  mastered,  but  mother  was  lovely, 
ipoiled  all  her  life,  dramatic  always. 
Jo  now,  the  finished  tragedienne  in 
ivery  way. 

Sister  Seraphine  said  to  me  one 
lay,  speaking  of  mother  in  a  wistful, 
Ireamy  voice,  "Your  mother  would 
lave  been  a  greater  actress  than  Sarah 
Bernhardt.  Tonita  was  very  good 
Doking.  Oh  what  temperament!  What 
icting!  Everything  she  did,  she  had 
0  have  the  stage.  Woe  to  anyone 
/ho  tried  to  calm  her  down  or  rea- 
on  with  her.  Tragedy  was  her  forte, 
ill  she  had  her  own  way.  Only  her 
ather,  who  was  a  West  Pointer  could 
andle  this  spoiled  headstrong  daugh- 
;r." 

This,  I  have  always  heard  about 
[ly  mother  from  many  sources  and 
new  personally.  Mother,  always 
ight,  everyone  else  wrong!  No  mat- 
IX  whom  they  happened  to  be,  such 
/as,  and  is,  and  are  memories  not 
•nly  of  mother,  but  of  so  many  other 
/onderful  relatives.  Even  to  my  baby 
langhter,  who,  when  corrected  for 
nything  at  all,  would  back  into  a 
omer,    baby    hands    covering    her

eyes,  crying,  "Don't  see  me,  don't 
see  me."  Another  dramatic  relative, 
and  my  own  child.  Why,  as  she  grew 
older  and  corrected,  straight  to  her 
father,  she  would  go  —  stand  at  his 
knee,  start  blinking  her  heavy  black 
eyelashes  over  big,  deep  blue  Irish 
eyes  and  down  would  come  the  croco- 
dile tears.  On  her  Dad,  this  always 
worked  a  magic  spell,  and  I  was  al- 
ways too  hard.  Whew!  To  me,  this 
was  no  laughing  matter,  and  result  — 
she  is  still  spoiled,  although  a  grand- 
mother herself  now. 

It  was  while  at  school  in  Oakland 
that  my  picture  was  taken  by  Web- 
ster, Seen  later  in  his  display  window 
showcase,  that  the  San  Francisco 
Bulletin  saw,  and  liked.  Never  saw 
me  in  person  but  included  me  in 
their  famous  beauty  contest. 

Personally,  I  have  always  thought 
the  two  reasons  for  this  were — being 
a  native  daughter  of  several  genera- 
tions, plus  the  name,  had  a  lot  to  do 
with  their  decision,  as  Fremont  Older 
of  the  Bulletin  and  others  naturally 
knew  my  connections,  when  the  beau- 
tiful diamond  ring  was  given  me.  In 
later  years,  my  son  always  claimed 
it.  So,  when  he  brought  his  fiancee 
to  meet  us,  I  naturally  gave  it  to  him. 


The  Chapel  was  a  large  one.  Its 
stained  glass  windows  beautiful  and 
was  built  connecting  the  school  and 
convent.  On  the  side  facing  the  street 
on  the  roof  was  a  walk  way  from  up- 
stairs, the  Sisters  could  pass  from  one 
building  to  another,  as  well  as  down 
on  the  first  floor.  Often,  the  class  in 
astronomy  would  be  taken  out  on 
this  walk  on  a  clear  stariit  evening, 
by  the  Sister  who  taught  them.  Thus 
they  learned  to  place  and  locate  many 
important  stars  and  planets;  watch  a 
wonderful  crescent  or  fuU  moon's 
fascinating  move  higher  in  the  hea- 
ven every  time  you  looked  away, 
then  back  at  it. 

These  sessions  to  me  were  most 
interesting.  Wonderful  it  was,  to  have 
the  important  planets  pointed  out  by 
name.  To  have  them  clear  in  mind 
after  studying  them  in  class,  but  inter- 
ruptions took  place  rather  often  — 
caused  by  some  talkative  girl  to  a 
boy  friend.  Reason,  a  group  of  night- 
hawks,  as  they  were  called,  meander- 
ed on  the  sidewalk  below,  to  serenade 
the  giris  on  high,  with  their  college 
songs.  Maybe  Berkeley,  St.  Marys 
or  some  other  college  not  too  far 
away.

^/•i.  Santa  Clau^ 


California's  own  Mrs.  Santa  Claus 


'ly'^ES,    California   has   its   own 

^  Mrs.  Santa  Claus  in  the  person 
of  a  frail,  109  pound  Mrs.  Joy  Lind- 
say of  Ventura.  Joy  is  the  personal 
friend,  as  Mrs.  S.  Claus,  to  over  11 00 
disabled  women  war  veterans  from 
both  World  Wars  and  the  Spanish- 
American  War. 

During  World  War  11  the  slogan 
was  "Give  a  Vet  a  gift  for  Christ- 
mas." At  this  time  Joy  herself  was 
hospitalized  and  realized  that  the 
gifts  were  all  purchased  with  men 
patients  in  mind.  Unintentional  was 
the  slight  but  Joy  prayed  that  if  she 
survived  her  illness  and  returned 
home  she  would  see  that  every 
woman  war  veteran  would  be  the 
recipient  of  a  gift  for  next  Christmas. 
Her  project  was  not  started  until 
October  of  that  year  but  she  made  it! 

Today  Joy  is  bedridden,  and  oc- 
casionally in  a  wheel  chair  and  with 
twenty  pounds  of  traction  applied  to 
one  leg  for  two  hours  daily.  Joy's 
hands,  though  badly  crippled  with 
arthritis,  are  seldom  idle. 

Mrs.  Santa  Claus  began  her  won- 
derful project  fifteen  years  ago  and 
every  year  the  gifts  increase  in  num- 
ber and  variety.  For  many  of  the 
hospitalized  women  Veterans,  hers  is 
the  only  Christmas  remembrance 
they  receive.  Present  in  many  of  our 
V.  A.  hospitals  are  women  nurses 
from  the  Spanish-American  War  who 
are  80  or  90  years  old  with  no  one 
left  to  remember  them.  Her  gifts  are 
the  essence  of  femininity  being  both 

PAGE  6 


beautiful  and  practical  for  Joy  has 
has  spent  many  hospitalized  years 
herself  during  the  past  41  years  and 
from  first  hand  experience  know 
what  her  sister  women  veteran's 
needs  are. 

Joy  has  many  volunteer  helpers 
who  tirelessly  salvage  ornate  bottles, 
ribbons,  old  nylons,  hangers,  jewelry, 
wool,  yarn,  plus  gift  boxes  and  wrap- 
pings. These  helpers  are  staunch  per- 
sonal friends  and  members  of  church, 
service  and  civic  groups.  All  are 
happy  to  help  Mrs.  Santa  Claus  send 
a  ribbon-covered  clothes  hanger  with 
a  beautiful  touch  of  jewelry,  bright 
wash  cloths  and  cakes  of  soap  are 
combined  to  make  perky  little  pups 
with  embroidered  eyes,  nose,  mouth 
and  shaggy  wool  ears.  These  go  to  a 
psychiatric  ward  where  metal  or  glass 
objects  "re  not  permitted.  This  year 
over  75  women  veterans  received 
one  (^i  Joy's  lovely  hand  crocheted 
colorful  shawls  which  can  be  adapted 
to  either  bed,  wheel  chair,  or 
crutches  and  c^n  also  be  put  over 
the  head  and  shoulders  for  much 
needed  warmth. 

The  need  to  serve  has  always  been 
part  of  Joy  Lindsay's  makeup.  When 
she  enlisted  in  World  War  1  at  Nor- 
folk, Virginia,  it  was  because  she  had 
no  brother  to  carry  on  the  tradition 
of  her  grandfather,  James  Barnes, 
who  fought  in  the  Confederate  Army. 
In  World  War  I  when  a  woman  en- 
listed it  was  under  the  same  condi- 
tions as  did  the  men.  While  on  ac- 


by.  J^aura  (BloAdale 

live  duty  Joy  was  seriously  injured 
and  was  honorably  discharged  as  a 
Yeoman  2C  (F).  The  blue  serge  uni- 
form which  still  hangs  in  her  closet 
modestly  carries  only  the  Good  Con- 
duct and  Victory  medals. 

To  many  American  Legionnaires 
she  is  known  as  "The  First  Lady  of 
World  War  1"  and  last  Veteran's  Day 
she  represented  that  war  when  the 
Legion  dedicated  a  fine  painted  star 
memorial  in  Ventura. 

Love  for  service  to  others  has 
extended  into  her  very  home  where 
she  has  lived  since  1936.  A  small 
guest  cottage  in  her  back  yard  often 
served  as  a  canteen  and  motel  during 
War  11.  Later  it  housed  veterans 
who  attended  Ventura  Junior  Col- 
lege. Ten  young  men  enjoyed  Joy's 
guest  cottage  during  their  years  in 
Junior  College.  Letters,  visits  and 
telephone  calls  come  to  her  daily 
from  those  she  has  befriended  over 
the  years.  In  1961  she  went  into  a 
new  venture,  that  of  sponsoring  a 
couple  from  Holland. 

Beverly  Hills  Parlor  for  many 
years  has  helped  Joy  in  her  project 
for  the  Women  Veterans  in  Californ- 
ia. This  year  Beverly  Hills  No.  289 
is  submitting  the  name  of  Joy  Lind- 
sey  for  consideration  to  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  Honor 
Roll  for  her  zealous  and  oustanding 
work  on  behalf  of  the  hospitalized 
California  Women  War  Veterans. 


THE  DIFFERENCE  ... 

One   day   a   rich   man   came   to   see  a ' 
less  fortunate  friend  and.  as  usual,  began 
to  brag.  "Just  a  minute."  said  the  friend, 
look  out  through  the  window  and  tell  me 
what  you  see." 

"I  see  people,"  answered  the  rich  man. 

Then  the  friend  led  the  braggart  to  a 
mirror.  "What  do  you  see  now?"  he  asked. 

"Myself,  of  course,"  said  the  rich  one. 

The  friend  then  said,  "Observe.  .  . 
In  the  window  there  is  glass  and  in  the 
mirror  there  is  glass.  But  the  glass  in  the 
mirror  has  had  a  little  silver  added  to  it. 
and  no  sooner  is  that  little  bit  of  silver 
added  than  you  cease  to  see  others  and  see 
only  yourself."

DIAMOND  ANNIVERSARY 

On  March  30,  1887,  twenty-four 
eligible  ladies  met  at  Pythian  Castle, 
now  known  as  California  Hall  in  Ne- 
vada City,  to  lay  plans  for  a  Native 
Daughter  Parlor.  On  April  13,  1887 
this  Parlor  was  instituted  by  Ursula 
Parlor.  The  charter  members  num- 
bered 28.  The  Parlor  adopted  the 
name  "Laurel"  on  May  25,  1887.  In 
April  of  this  year,  1962,  members  of 
Laurel  No.  6  will  celebrate  their 
diamond  anniversary  —  75  wonder-

MORTGAGE  BURNED 

Members  of  Hiawatha  No.  140  en- 
joyed their  annual  dinner  and  party. 
The  program  following  the  dinner 
commemorated  the  burning  of  the 
mortgage  on  their  Native  Daughter 
Hall  in  Redding.  Mrs.  Beryl  Shuffle- 
ton  gave  an  account  of  the  purchas- 
ing of  the  hall  and  reported  that  in 
September  1956  the  Grand  Parlor 
Board  of  Control  gave  the  Parlor 
permission  to  purchase  the  building. 
After  the  down  payment  was  made 
and  necessary  renovating  completed 
to  make  it  a  convenient  meeting  hall, 
the  members  began  working  on  many 
projects  to  raise  funds  to  meet  their 
payments. 

Members  also  were  most  generous 
in  providing  furnishings.  A  piano, 
range,  refrigerator,  tables  and  many 
other  items  were  contributed.  On  De- 
cember 3,1961  the  final  payment  was 
made  on  the  hall. 

An  "Ode  to  Old  Mortgage"  was 
read  by  Mrs.  Flora  Jordan  and  the 
burning  of  the  mortgage,  in  effigy, 
was  carried  out  by  Mrs.  Jordan,  Mrs. 
Virginia  Banigan,  and  Mrs.  Isabel 
Doll,  president  of  Hiawatha  Parlor. 
There  were  many  members  present 
for  the  occasion  and  guests  attended 
from  Lassen  View  Parlor  in  Shasta. 

Ode  To  Old  Mortgage 

Hail  to  thee,  Old  Mortgage! 
We  are  bidding  you  adieu, 
These  many  years  we've  struggled 
Trying  to  get  rid  of  you! 

Many  a  weary  day  we  labored 
Standing  on  aching  feet; 
Selling  stacks  and  stacks  of  rummage 
So  your  payments  we  could  meet. 

The  refreshments  and  tasty  dinners 

we  served 
Cooking,  and  mixing,  and  baking; 
'Twas  all  for  you.  Old  Mortgage! 
Our  profits  you  always  were  taking.

dent Alice  D.  Shea  to  Centennial  No. 
295,  Paradise  and  Gold  of  Ophir  No. 
190,  Oroville,  was  held  in  Oroville 
at  the  Elks  Hall.  Artistic  arrange- 
ment of  red  berries  and  boughs  of 
mountain  greens  in  the  meeting  hall 
and  banquet  room  created  a  festive 
setting.  A  dinner  honoring  the  Grand 
President  preceded  the  meeting.  Silk 
pouches  of  "nuggets"  (home  made 
candy)    marked  each  place  setting. 

The  following  new  members 
Mmes.  Rose,  Foster,  Baugh,  Rohlf, 
Hall  and  Tandy  were  initiated.  Mrs. 
Shea  was  presented  with  $25  to  go 
toward  Freedom's  Foundation  at 
Valley  Forge.  At  the  conclusion  of 
Mrs.  Shea's  message,  Centennial  Par- 
lor presented  her  with  a  miniature

with  a  secret  wish  of  the  Grand  Pre- 
sident to  sometime  attend  the  Ken- 
tucky Derby,  staged  a  "mock"  horse 
race.  As  the  announcer  (Mrs.  Frank 
W.  Boyle)  in  long  tailed  coat,  top  hat 
and  '49er  boots  gave  the  signal,  the

Nelson  Gow  and  Mrs.  Mabel  Har- 
ney, entered  the  track.  Linemen  were 
Mrs.  Lucille  Taylor  and  Mrs.  Pete

necessary  for  a  "photo  finish"  taken 
by  Mrs.  John  D.  Sutherland,  the 
"professional  beatnik  photographer." 
Judges  pronounced  "Golden  Girl" 
the  winner  with  the  Grand  President 
holding  the  "Win."  She  was  present- 
ed with  an  immense  "Horseshoe" 
spiked  with  a  monetary  gift.

The  Grand 
President's  Corner 


It  seems  very  difficult  to  get  back 
to  the  regular  routine  of  Official 
Visits,  after  my  thrilling  experiences 
at  Freedoms  Foundation,  but  I  am 
anxious  to  share  with  each  of  you  the 
wonder  and  beanty  of  the  many  ex- 
pressions on  freedom;  public  ad- 
dresses, newspaper  editorials,  com- 
munity or  college  programs,  radio, 
TV  or  advertising,  and  the  wonder- 
ful work  of  our  schools  and  teachers 
that  were  presented  for  our  consider- 
ation. 

Two  of  our  greatest  statesmen 
were  born  in  the  month  of  February : 
George  Washington,  the  father  of  our 
country,  and  Abraham  Lincoln,  who 
kept  this  an  undivided  nation.  Dur- 
ing the  month  will  you  plan  an  Amer- 
icanism Program  and  present  to  our 
members  a  program  to  stimulate  in- 
terest in  Freedoms  Foundation  and 
our  goal  of  having  the  name  of  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West 
take  its  place  on  the  Patriots  Wall? 
We  are,  after  all,  California's  first 
women's  patriotic  organization,  and 
as  such  should  take  our  place  with 
the  Veterans  and  Patriotic  Organiza- 
tions of  the  United  States. 

Freedoms  Foundation  at  Valley 
Forge  urges  "to  maintain  the  Ameri- 
can way  of  life  and  pass  it  intact  to 
succeeding  generations  is  the  re- 
sponsibility of  every  true  American.

rHE  Fifteenth  Annual  Session 
of  Grand  Parlor  met  in  the 
Itate  Capitol,  June  11  to  14,  1901, 
^'ith  93  parlors  represented. 

Further  action  was  taken  on  cer- 
ain  endeavors  begun  at  the  previous 
jrand  Parlor.  For  instance,  Grand 
'resident  Emma  Gett  granted  per- 
nission  to  Sister  Eliza  D.  Keith  in 
November,  1900,  to  issue  a  circular 
ind  forward  the  same  to  the  Subordi- 
late  Parlors,  asking  for  their  support 
n  the  preservation  of  the  "Big  Ba- 
in". In  December,  the  Grand  Presi- 
lent  sent  a  circular  to  all  parlors  ask- 
ng  the  members  of  the  Order  for 
heir  signatures  to  a  petition  to  the 
itate  Legislature,  asking  their  aid  in 
he  preservation  of  the  Big  Basin. 
rhe  petition  was  introduced  in  the 
Jenate  by  Hon.  Robert  T.  Devlin  of 
lacramento,  accepted,  and  ordered 
)laced  in  the  Journal.  "And  now,  let 
ne  add,  that  it  was  to  a  great  extent 
hrough  our  efforts  that  Governor 
jage  affixed  his  signature  to  this 
5ill,  thereby  giving  to  our  poor  a 
)leasure  ground."  The  petition  sent 
vas  as  follows:  "To  the  Honorable 
he  Legislature  of  California,  to  the 
>tate  Senators  and  Assemblymen: 
ionorable  Sirs:  We,  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West,  do 
nost  earnestly  and  respectfully  in- 
cite your  acceptance  and  favorable 
consideration  of  this  petition  relative 
o  the  preservation  of  the  forests  of 
California.  ...  As  Native  Daughters, 
)oth  as  an  Order,  through  our  Grand 
Officers,  and  as  individuals,  as  wit- 
less the  signatures  to  our  petition, 
ve  endorse  the  work  of  the  Semper- 
'irens  Club  and  implore  your  aid  to 
ecure  the  preservation,  in  the  form 
)f  a  government  park,  "of  the  won- 
lerful  primeval  forest  of  coast  red- 
vood,  known  as  the  'Big  Basin',  and 
ts  immediate  environments,  located 
n  the  Santa  Cruz  Mountains;  a  solid 
)ody  of  magnificent  redwood  —  the 
)ldest  specimens  of  plant  life  known. 

.  .  We  call  upon  you,  our  worthy 
|nd  trusted  representatives,  to  give 
j/our  effective  aid  to  this  patriotic 
iproject,  either  by  appropriating  suf- 

jlEBRUARY,  1962 


ficient  money  from  the  State  Treasur- 
y  to  purchase  the  land  outright,  or  by 
instituting  condemnation  proceedings 
on  the  ground  of  public  utility;  in 
brief,  to  set  in  motion  the  machinery 
of  the  law  immediately,  to  save  these 
forests  from  destruction  .  .  .  The  wel- 
fare of  our  entire  State  depends  upon 
the  prosperity  of  each  and  every 
section.  The  'Big  Basin'  lies  in  the 
Counties  of  Santa  Cruz  and  San 
Mateo.  Is  destruction  means  the  less- 
ening of  the  rainfall  of  Central  Cal- 


ifornia, and  the  loss  of  the  water  sup- 
ply of  Santa  Cruz,  San  Mateo  and 
Santa  Clara  Counties,  and  of  the 
City  of  San  Francisco.  This  would 
be  a  public  calamity.  We  pray  you 
avert  it,  by  saving  to  us,  to  our  be- 
loved California,  and  to  the  genera- 
tions yet  to  come,  this  magnificent 
forest  —  the  growth  of  many  cen- 
turies .  .  .  For  the  honor  of  Californ- 
ia, we  are,  Yours  respectfully  (signed 
by  4,000  names  of  members)." 

We  can  be  eternally  grateful  for 
the  forethought  of  these  conserva- 
ion-minded  members  of  our  Order. 

A  Committee  met  with  the  Gover- 
nor on  March  15,  1901,  including 
Miss  Jennie  Davis,  Past  President  of 
Califia  Parlor,  and  the  Worthy  Grand 
President,  and  urged  him  to  "affix 
his  signature  to  the  bill,  which 
would  thereby  preserve  this  noble 
grove  and  save  it  from  the  wood- 
man's axe." 

On  September  9,  1900,  the  Worthy 
Grand  President  delivered  an  address 
"as  part  of  the  literary  exercises." 
[  I  would  recommend  this  address  to 
all  Native  Daughters  —  it  is  a  liter- 
ary gem,  and  as  pertinent  today  as 
when  it  was  delivered.  ] 

Further  reference  was  made  to  the 
"Gold  Key"  given  to  Grand  Parlor  in 
Sonora  —  a  letter  was  quoted  from 
Philip  Y.  Fay,  Secretary,  Park  Com- 
missioners, San  Francisco:  "I  have 
been  instructed  by  the  Park  Com- 
missionersto  acknowledge  with 
thanks  the  loan  of  a  golden  key,  so 
kindly  tendered  by  you  in  behalf 
of  the  Grand  Parlor  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  .  .  . 
The  same  shall  be  exhibited  in  the 
Park  Museum  under  the  same  con- 
ditions and  rules  as  govern  all  loans." 

[  One  of  the  little  bonuses  of  work- 
ing on  this  project  has  been  the  dis- 
covery of  references  to  projects  pre- 
viously unknown  to  me,  and  the  pur- 
suit of  these  references  through  suc- 
ceeding volumes  of  the  proceedings. 
As  you  can  no  doubt  realize,  the 
history  of  75  years  takes  a  little  di-

ANNIVERSARY  CELEBRATED 

Ontario  Parlor  No.  251  celebrated, 
the  thirtieth  anniversary  of  their  in- 
stitution with  a  dinner  party  in  the 
Upland  Woman's  Clubhouse. 

Singled  out  for  honor  was  Mrs. 
Adele  Prankish  who  was  the  charter 
president  of  the  local  group.  She  was 
presented  a  beautiful  white  orchid 
corsage  and  a  life  membership  in  the 
Order.  Making  the  presentation  on 
behalf  of  the  members  of  Ontario 
Parlor  was  the  president  Mrs.  Ashley 
J.  Todd. 


From  left:  P.G.P.  Hazel  Hanson  and 
Charter  President  Prankish. 

Also  in  attendance  was  PGP  Hazel 
B.  Hanson  of  Verdugo  No.  240, 
Glendale,  who  was  the  organizer  in 
1931.  She  congratulated  Mrs.  Prank- 
ish and  reminisced  about  the  evening 
of  the  institution.  There  were  26 
charter  members,  of  which  five  are 
still  members  of  the  Parlor.  They  are 
Mmes.  Lemuel  A.  Graves,  Earl  J. 
Poulson,  W.  L.  Kiler,  Bee  Herzberg 
and  Adele  Prankish.  PGP  Evelyn  I. 
Carlson  of  Menlo  Park  was  unable 
to  attend  but  sent  her  regrets  and  a 
letter  of  congratulations.  Mrs.  Carl- 
son personally  conducted  the  institu- 
tion in  1931. 

The  hall  was  decorated  in  the 
Christmas  motif  and  each  guest  re- 
ceived a  pin-on  of  red  and  silver  with 
the  numerals  "30"  in  large  figures.  A 
birthday  cake  decorated  with  the  Na- 
tive Daughter  emblem  was  served 
following  the  contributed  dinner  with 
Mrs.  Prankish  cutting  the  first  slice. 
Everyone  joined  in  singing  Christ- 
mas carols  after  the  presentation. 
Leading  the  group  singing  was 
SDDGP  Mrs.  Arthur  Davis  of  Jiir- 
upa  No.  296,  Riverside,  accompan- 
ied by  Mrs.  Lois  N.  Noland  of  Lu- 
gonia  No.  241,  San  Bernardino.

COURTHOUSE  DEDICATED 

On  December  15,  1961  the  new 
Courthouse  of  the  County  of  San 
Diego  was  dedicated.  Master  of  Cere- 
monies was  David  W.  Bird,  chairman 
of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  San 
Diego  County.  Present  were  officials 
of  the  County  and  of  the  City  of  San 
Diego  and  of  other  cities  within  San 
Diego  County,  the  judges  of  the  vSu- 
perior  Court  of  San  Diego  County, 
the  judges  of  the  Municipal  Courts, 
Justice  Lloyd  E.  Griffin  of  the  Dis- 
trict Court  of  Appeal,  and  Justice 
Marshall  McComb  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  California. 

Upon  invitation  of  the  Board  of 
Supervisors  of  San  Diego  County, 
GIS  Evelyn  St.  John  Monahan  was 
seated  upon  the  speaker's  platform 
representing  the  Order  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West.  On 
behalf  of  our  Order  she  presented 
to  the  Board  of  Supervisors  a  copy 
of  the  then  current  California  Herald 
which,  with  other  publications,  has 
been  microfilmed  and  placed  in  the 
cornerstone  of  the  Courthouse.

ALILA 

Alila  No.  321  was  instrumental 
in  providing  happiness  for  16  fami- 
lies in  the  Delano  area  during  the 
past  Christmas  season.  As  was  cus- 
tomary at  the  holiday  season,  the 
Parlor  members  brought  canned  and 
non-perishable  foods  to  their  meet- 
ings for  their  annual  Yuletide  Wei- 
fare  basket.  In  the  local  newspaper 
write-up,  mention  was  made  of  the 
food  brought  and  its  purpose  and 
immediately  people  began  to  contact 
the  Parlor's  welfare  chairman,  Aileen 
Townes,  with  offers  of  additional 
food  and  clothing.  By  Christmas  eve, 
individuals,  organizations  and 
churches  had  contributed  quantities 
of  canned  food,  groceries,  bread,  tur- 
keys, chickens,  clothing,  candy,  fruit 


and  even  gaily  decorated  Christmas 
trees  that  had  served  their  purpose 
in  Sunday  school  rooms  and  at  social 
gatherings.  As  a  result  it  was  pos- 
sible for  the  Parlor's  welfare  chair- 
man Aileen  Townes,  and  its  presi- 
dent, Irma  Olson,  to  fill  and  deliver 
16  generously  filled  baskets  to  needy 
families,  who  otherwise  would  have 
been  without  anything  for  Christmas, 
Accompanying  each  basket  was  a 
lovely  little  Christmas  tree. 

Most  of  these  families  consisted  ol 
from  five  to  eleven  children,  with  the 
head  of  the  family  either  unemployed 
or  ill.  It  was  very  gratifying  to  know 
that  through  the  efforts  of  the  Parloi 
these  families  were  made  happy  anc 
at  least  provided  with  a  hearty  mea 
on  Christmas  day.

Douglas  Jacobs,  then  proprietor  ot 
the  hotel,  and  George  Mansfield,  edi- 
tor of  the  Oroville  Register.  After 
about  six  weeks  of  patient  work,  the 
professor  was  about  to  abandon  his 
efforts  to  converse  with  this  strange 
man.  Then  he  thought  of  an  extinct 
tribe  that  might  be  the  same  or  a 
neighbor  of  that  of  the  Indian.  He 
possessed  a  small  vocabulary  from 
this  tribe  and  on  his  next  visit  he 
used  one  of  his  words.  The  face  of 
the  strange  man  lighted  up.  He  could 
understand!  Through  this  key  word 
a  conversation  was  made  possible. 
The  professor  called  the  Indian 
"Ishi",  meaning  MAN. 

On  the  eventful  day  that  Ishi  was 
to  leave  Oroville  for  the  university 
I  took  my  little  one-dollar  Brownie 
camera  and  became  one  of  the  large 
group  of  people  to  say  farewell  at 
the  Western  Pacific  depot  at  Oroville. 
Just  as  the  train  was  approaching 
the  station  and  the  whistle  sounded, 
I  took  a  picture  of  Ishi. 

I  have  read  several  articles  stating 
that  when  Ishi  saw  the  train  arriving 
that  he  became  so  frightened  that  he 
hid  in  ths  baggage  room  of  the  depot. 
Nothing  could  be  further  from  the 
truth.  The  picture  I  took  at  this 
eventful  moment  shows  Ishi  relaxed 
and  smiling.  He  was  among  friends 
and  he  knew  it.  A  few  minutes  later 
he  boarded  the  train  wearing  in  the 
lapel  of  his  coat  a  rose  placed  there 
by  a  kindly  lady.

House  of  Hospitality 

Friendly  Indians  from  surrounding 
rancherias  were  set  to  work  making 
the  great  quantity  of  adobe  bricks 
and  hauling  timbers  from  the  moun- 
tains. In  1854  the  Adobe  de  Palo- 
mares,  with  its  thirteen  rooms,  cloth 
ceiling  and  shake  roof,  was  finished. 
One  can  well  imagine  that  the  house- 
warming  was  truly  an  event  long  to 
be  remembered! 

With  its  greater  facilities  for  enter- 
tainment of  visitors,  the  new  adobe 
soon  became  known  as  the  "House 
of  Hospitality"   since  Don   Ygnacio 

CALIFORNIA  HERAU 


ind  his  charming  wife  Dona  Concep- 
;i6n  Lopez  de  Palomares,  whole- 
ouled,  generous  and  hospitable,  kept 
)pen  house  for  all. 

As  a  popular  regional  rendezvous, 
he  casa  drew  memorable  gatherings 
if  the  first  families  of  the  entire 
louthland,  coming  on  horseback  and 
n  their  carretas  to  take  part  in  the 
tiany  joyous  fiestas,  generous  bar- 
becues, spirited  dances  and  other  fes- 
ivities  so  dear  to  their  hearts. 

Here,  too,  many  weddings  and 
irths  were  celebrated  and  deaths 
ecorded  with  the  passing  of  the 
ears.  The  present-day  visitor  gains 

vivid  picture  of  the  gay  round  of 
Measures  so  typical  of  a  century  ago 
1  this  area,  and  in  imagination  hears 
tie  click  of  castanets  and  the  merry 
mghter  of  the  unhurried  and  care- 
ree  people  of  that  pastoral  era. 

Adobe  de  Palomares,  to  add  to  its 
usy  round  of  activity,  also  was  an 
nportant  station  on  the  San  Bemar- 
ino  stage  route,  where  passengers 
ould  obtain  food  and  relaxation 
rom  the  bumps  and  jolts  of  the  long 
nd  dusty  road.  Not  infrequent  visit- 
rs,  too,  were  the  20-mule  freighters, 
owadays  almost  forgotten.  Many  an 
xhausted  immigrant  party  and  foot- 
Dre  wanderer  found  here  a  resting 
lace. 

An  Authentic  Restoration 

Don  Ygnacio  passed  away  on 
fovember  2,  1864.  Gradually  as  the 
ears  became  decades  and  almost  a 
sntury,  the  once  proud  structure 
isintegrated  into  crumbling  ruins, 
[owever,  some  25  years  ago,  recog- 
izing  its  great  historic  value  in  pre- 
;rving  for  posterity  the  memory  of 
s  glamorous  past,  the  City  of  Pomo- 
a  acquired  the  homesite. 

Now  authentically  restored  to  its 
riginal  form  and  appearance,  ex- 
ept  for  the  interior  of  the  north 
'ing  which  housed  the  kitchen,  din- 
ig  room  and  storeroom,  Adobe  de 
'alomares  stands  as  one  of  Californ- 
i's  most  admired  landmarks, 
lirough  the  initiative  of  the  Histori- 
al  Society  of  Pomona  Valley  in  co- 
operation with  the  Federal  Govern- 
nent,  the  municipality,  and  numer- 
•us  civic-minded  groups  and  indivi- 
luals.  Following  its  restoration,  the 
^dobe  was  reopened  to  the  public  on 
Vpril  6,  1940. 

The  furnishings,  all  in  accord  with 
he  style  of  the  period,  have  been  as- 
embled  from  the  length  and  breadth 

EBRUARY,  1962 


of  Southern  California,  forming  one 
of  the  finest  collections  of  early  days 
to  be  found  anywhere.  Many  of  the 
articles  are  precious  heirlooms  own- 
ed by  descendants  of  the  early  fami- 
lies who  have  generously  loaned  or 
given  them. 

A  rustic  bridge  crosses  the  cobb- 
led ditch  that  once  brought  water 
from  San  Antonio  Canyon.  Even  the 
landscaping  of  the  spacious  court- 
yard and  gardens  has  been  repro- 
duced in  accurate  detail  according 
to  findings  of  painstaking  research 
so  that  they  now  are  seen  in  their 
original  charm  and  beauty. 

So  the  saga  of  the  Rancho  lives  on 
with  its  La  Casa  Adobe  de  Palomares 
as  a  lasting  memento  of  colorful, 
romantic  days  of  long  ago.

Mrs.  Virginia  Banigan  was  chair- 
man for  the  evening.  The  hall  was 
decorated  by  Viola  Lowden  and  her 
committee  with  silver  bells  and 
streamers  of  pastel  colored  crepe  pa- 
per. Many  members  and  guests 
were  in  attendance  to  witness  the

MEMBERS  HONORED 

A  reception  and  dinner  were  held 
recently  to  honor  two  fifty-year  and 
three  twenty-five  year  members  of 
Hiawatha  No.  140.  The  two  honor- 
ed sisters,  Alice  Firth  Fealy  and 
Edna  Shelton  Saygrover  are  members 
of  pioneer  families  of  Redding  and 
have  been  very  active,  not  only  in  the 


Order,  but  in  the  community  as  well. 
Mrs.  Fealy's  family  operated  a  dry 
goods  store  for  many  years  and  Mrs. 
Saygrover  is  retired  from  the  Shasta 
County  Probation  Office. 

The  dinner  was  held  at  the  Native 
Daughter  Hall  in  Redding  and  was 
attended  by  many  members  from 
Parlors  in  the  area  and  guests  out- 
side the  Order  who  were  close  friends 
of  the  honored  members.  The  pro- 
gram of  readings,  song  numbers,  and 
tableau  scenes  gave  the  highlights  of 
the  many  Native  Daughter  activities 
in  which  these  me.mbers  participated. 
Both  are  past  presidents  of  the  Par- 
lor. 

Twenty-five  year  emblems  were 
presented  to  Margaret  Weaver,  Nelda 
Bowler  and  Regina  Swarts.  A  fourth 
member,  Beryl  Shuffleton  received 
her  twenty-five  year  pin  at  a  party 
earlier  in  the  year.  Three  of  these 
members  are  also  past  presidents  of 
the  Parlor  and  have  been  active 
members  in  the  Order.  SDDGP  Har- 
riett Henderson  made  the  presenta- 
tion of  the  twenty-five  year  pins  and 
Bertha  Sublett  presented  the  fifty- 
year  emblems.

I  he  spire  of  my  church  reaches  up 

to  the  stars, 
Its  foundation  rests  firm  in  earth's 

keep. 
Its  creed  is  as  big  and  as  broad  as  the 

sky 
That  encircles  the  world  in  its  sweep. 

The  brethren  are  those  who  inhabit 

the  earth; 
Mankind,  the  great  and  the  small. 
The  sons  of  Mohammed,  the  rabbi, 

the  priest  — 
This  cathedral  has  room  for  us  all. 

God  speaks  to  me  in  the  stir  of  a  leaf, 

In  the  glorious  song  of  a  bird. 

And  my  pew  is  a  log  or  a  mountain 

crag  — 
Wherever  His  voice  is  heard.

The  subordinate  parlors  were  re- 
quested to  ask  the  Legislature,  by 
suitable  legislation,  "to  perpetuate 
the  forests  that  sheltered  the  fathers 
of  our  Commonwealth,  that  these 
same  giants  might  bend  over  the 
children's  children  of  our  members, 
and  so  create  the  conditions  of  ven- 
eration and  love  of  our  possibilities 
out  of  which  shall  emerge  in  time  the 
better  and  greater  California." 

It  apparently  was  the  custom  in 
these  early  years  to  make  a  presenta- 
tion, and  when  possible,  to  hold  a 
reception,  when  the  President  of  the 
United  States  visited  California.  A 
testimonial  was  planned  for  President 
McKinley,  and  a  committee  collected 
by  popular  subscription  from  the 
parlors  a  substantial  sum  of  money 
with  which  they  purchased  "a  very 
expensive  and  artistic  album"  con- 
taining 14  scenes  of  California.  The 
Grand  President  made  arrangements 
to  present  this  to  President  McKinley 
at  a  reception,  but  this  was  postpon- 
ed because  of  Mrs.  McKinley's  ill- 
ness. The  presentation  was  finally 
made  by  Grand  Vice  President 
Genevieve  Baker  on  May  23,  1901. 
An  interesting  item  was  noted  in 
the  Report  of  District  Deputy  Grand 
President  Sara  Osterman,  DDGP  at 
large  for  Mendocino,  who  gave  an 
account  of  the  initiation  of  Mrs.  Liz- 
zie Gunn,  the  first  child  of  white 
parentage,  born  in  Stockton,  Septem- 
ber 9,  1848.  Mrs.  Gunn  was  initiated 
February  7,  1901,  into  Greenwood 
Parlor  No.  121,  which  was  instituted 
January  11,  1901. 

In  a  section  labeled  "Hints"  by  the 
Grand  President  reference  was  made 
to  the  establishment  of  an  office  for 
the  Grand  Secretary:  "Since  the  Or- 
der of  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gold- 
en West  is  destined  to  become  the 
leading  woman's  organization  of  the 
State,  it  is  in  my  opinion  but  fitting 
that  we  should  have  a  permanent 
headquarters.  That  we  should  ap- 
propriate such  a  sum  from  the  Grand 
Parlor  funds  as  would  be  required 
to  fit  such  headquarters  as  become 
our  station.  That  all  books  belonging 
to  the  Order  should  be  preserved 
and  filed  with  proper  memoranda 
.  .  .  That  inasmuch  as  the  tendency 
of  rents  has  been  to  increase,  and 


in  the  judgment  of  business  men  will 
so  continue,  I  would  suggest  that 
an  office  be  leased  for  a  term  of  five 
years,  thus  avoiding  frequent  in- 
crease of  rent  and  change  of  loca- 
tion."

SIDE  OF  IT 


There's  a  story  in  the  paper  of  a  wo- 
man who  used  a  telephone  for  the  first 
time  in  eighty  years.  She  must  be  on  a 
party  line! 


"The  man  who  gives  in  when  he  is 
wrong,"  said  the  street  orator,  is  a  wise 
man;  but  he  who  gives  in  when  he  is 
right  is — " 

"Married!"  said  a  meek  voice  in  the

Thinking  draws  blood  from  the  feet  to

a  proposition  often  gives  people  cold  feet. 


A  visitor  on  Mount  Wilson  was  intently 
watching  one  of  the  astronomers  using 
the  big  telescope,  and  just  then  a  star  fell. 
"By  golly."  he  said,  "that  guy  is  sure  a 
crack  shot." 


For  many  years  a  mining  company  out 
west  employed  a  Chinese  cook  and  one 
evening  after  an  unusually  good  dinner 
the  superintendent  decided  to  raise  his 
wages.  The  next  day  the  Chinese  noted  the 
extra  money  in  his  envelope. 

"Why  you  pay  me  more?  he  asked. 

"Because,"  replied  the  superintendent 
"you'e  been  such  a  good  cook  all  these 
years." 

The  Chinese  thought  it  over,  then  said 
"You  been  cheating  me  long  time  eh?' 


She —  "Did  you  get  a  commission   ir 
the  army?" 

He — "No,  I  just  got  a  straight  salary/

CALIFORNIA  HERAU| 


By  Leo  J.  Friis 


In  the  days  of  plentiful  rain  no 
tubt  some  of  you  have  been  caught 

a  shower  and  found  that  your 
ndshield  wiper  wouldn't  work.  It 
ced  you,  didn't  it? 
How  many  of  you  will  admit 
at  you  drove  a  car  back  in  the 
a  B.W.W.  (Before  Windshield 
ipers)?  It  was  quite  an  experience. 
Of  course,  when  it  started  to 
irinkle,  you  hurried  to  get  up  the 
p  of  your  car.  Then  you  hastened 

snap  on  the  side  curtains,  those 
oth  affairs  with  isinglass  windows 
;ome  of  which  were  usually  cracked 
■  broken).  If  the  rain  was  pelting 
Dwn  briskly,  you  tried  to  fasten  the 
irtains  while  remaining  in  the  car, 
)mething  of  a  back-breaking  experi- 
ice. 


/i^'i'i 


-•'^ 


As  you  drove  slowly  down  the 
reet  you  strained  your  eyes  peering 
irough  the  windshield,  which  was 
sually  of  two  panes  of  glass,  one 
bove  the  other.  The  lower  pane 
3uld  open  up  and  if  a  rubber  strap 
t  its  base  became  worn  or  broken, 
ny  rivulets  of  water  ran  down 
:ross  the  face  of  the  instrument 
oard. 

This  archaic  condition  was  grad- 
iUy  improved.  First,  we  were  pro- 
ved with  a  windshield  wiper  that 
as  operated  manually.  Then  cars 
ime  equipped  with  the  "automatic" 
pe  that  moved  by  the  pressure  of 
r  forced  through  a  rubber  tube. 

BRUARY,  1962 


When  the  tube  plugged  up  or  broke 
the  wiper  refused  to  operate. 

Then  car  manufacturers  installed 
two  wipers  on  the  more  ritzy  models. 
Well,  you  know  the  kind  we  have  to- 
day. 

Don't  be  impatient  when  the  rub- 
ber blade  of  your  wiper  gets  frayed 
or  breaks.  Remember  the  old  days! 


The  fact  that  our  ancestors  came  over 
to  this  country  on  the  Mayflower  is 
nothing  to  boast  about.  Immigration  laws 
were  fearfully  slack  about  that  time. 


An  e  m  m  i  n  e  n  t  zoologist  announces, 
much  to  our  distress,  that  the  gnu  is  ra- 
pidly disappearing  from  the  African  veldt. 
Oh  well,  after  all,  no  gnus  is  good  gnus. 


Young  actor:  "I've  got  a  job  at  last,

Father:  "Splendid.  That's  a  start,  any- 
way, my  boy.  Maybe  one  of  these  days 
they'll  give  you  a  speaking  part."

she  took  her  hands  off  the  wheel."

Captain  Qeor^e  Jr.  luerby- 

This  month  we  tell  the  story  of 
George  H.  Derby  editing  the  San 
Diego  Herald.  The  actions  of  Derby 
were  so  fantastic  that  some  of  our 
readers  may  wonder  of  he  really  ever 
lived.  Indeed  he  did!  What  is  more, 
in  his  last  lear  at  West  Point  he  stood 
seventh  in  scholarship  and  one  hun- 
dred eighteenth  in  conduct! 

Derby  graduated  in  time  to  see 
active  duty  in  the  Mexican  War. 
Whatever  may  have  been  his  extra- 
curricular activities,  he  rendered  dis- 
tinguished service  in  that  conflict. 

He  injected  a  lot  of  fun  into  his 
years  of  military  service  in  California. 
In  this  he  is  to  be  commended.  Too 
many  of  his  fellow  officers  drowned 
their  boredom  in  drink  and  gambling. 
Not  Derby.  He  was  always  on  the 
alert  for  mirthful  adventure,  fre- 
quently writing  his  experiences  under 
the  pen  name  of  John  Phoenix. 

Long  before  his  death  he  had 
gained  national  fame  as  a  writer  of 
humor.  In  the  grim  days  of  1864 
when  the  great  armies  of  the  Union 
and  the  Confederacy  were  fighting 
desperately.  General  Grant  recalled 
the  incident  of  Derby  editing  a  news- 
paper and  wrote  to  the  Chief  of  Staff 
at  Washington.  "If  the  troops  cannot 
get  through,  they  can  keep  the  enemy 
off  General  Sherman  a  little,  as  Der- 
by held  the  editor  of  the  San  Diego 
Herald. 

No  less  a  famous  literary  figure 
than  William  Dean  Howells  once 
said,  "Before  'John  Phoenix,'  there 
was  scarcely  any  American  humor- 
ist—  not  of  the  distinctly  literary 
sort  —  with  whom  one  could  smile 
and  keep  one's  self-respect." 

President  Theodore  Roosevelt  lov- 
ed the  writings  of  Derby,  particularly 
those  which  had  been  collected  un- 
der the  title  of  Phoenixiana.  When 
visiting  San  Diego  in  1903,  he  was 
presented  with  a  specially  bound 
copy  of  his  book.  In  expressing  his 
appreciation  for  the  gift  he  exclaimed 
"By  George,  do  you  know  I  could 
pass  a  competitive  examination  on 
Phoenixiana!" 

Some  of  Derby's  classmates  at  the 
Military  Academy  such  as  George 
B.  McClellan,  Thomas  J.  "Stone- 
wall" Jackson,  and  George  E.  Pickett 
attained  immortal  fame.  Derby  will 
also  be  remembered,  but  for  an  en- 
tirely different  reason.

PEANUT 

In  about  1895,  a  group  of  ranchers 
met  at  Cuff's  general  store,  in  Trin- 
ity County,  and  discussed  possible 
names  for  a  new  post  office  proposed 
for  the  community.  During  their  de- 
liberations they  helped  themselves 
generously  from  Cuff's  stock  of  pea- 
nuts. 

When  it  came  Cuff's  turn  to  sug- 
gest a  name,  he  gazed  at  the  peanut 
shucks  on  the  floor  and  the  empty 
jar  and  exclaimed,  "Well,  it  looks  to 
me  as  though  we  ought  to  call  this 
place  'Peanut',"  All  agreed  —  and 
Cuff  became  the  first  postmaster. 

SOLANA  BEACH 

Solana  Beach,  near  San  Diego, 
was  platted  by  Colonel  Ed  Fletcher 
who  gave  it  the  Spanish  name  for 
"sunny  place."

— John  Phoenix 


1^  APTAiN  George  Derby  was 
<J^  thoroughly  disgusted.  Early  in 
1853  he  had  been  ordered  to  San 
Diego  to  superintend  an  army  pro- 
ject of  diverting  the  San  Diego  River 
into  False  Bay.  In  his  own  words, 
[le  had  been  sent  to  "dam  the  river 
and  had  done  so  (mentally)  several 
times  since  his  arrival." 

Thirty  year  old  Derby  had  enjoy- 
ed the  fast  moving  city  life  of  San 
Francisco.  To  be  detailed  to  service 
in  a  tiny  settlement  near  the  Mexican 
border  just  didn't  seem  fair!  Nothing 
;ver  happened  in  San  Diego.  Even  if 
the  whole  town  burned  down  it 
wouldn't  make  a  decent  fire.  He 
would  go  down  and  visit  his  friend, 
'Boston"  Ames.  Maybe  he  could 
think  of  something  interesting. 

Grabbing  his  hat  he  started  down 
the  dusty  road  to  the  office  of  the 
San  Diego  Herald.  Funny  thing 
thought  Derby,  that  a  smart  man 
like  Ames  should  be  running  a  news- 
paper in  a  town  where  two-thirds 
3f  the  population  couldn't  even  read 
English.  He  would  have  been  startled 
had  he  known  that  the  wily  publisher 
■vas  an  active  participant  in  a  scheme 
0  create  a  slave  state  in  the  south- 
vest  with  San  Diego  as  its  capital. 

Opening  the  door  of  the  Herald 
affice  Derby  found  his  friend,  com- 
fortably slouched  down  in  a  chair.

Derby  plays  a  practical  joke 
on  his  friend  "Boston"  Ames,  when  he 

mixes  up  the  politics  of  the 
San  Diego  Herald 


reading  the  Aha  California.  Look- 
ing up,  the  editor's  face  unfolded  in- 
to a  broad  smile. 

"Hello,  captain,  you're  just  the 
man  I'm  looking  for!" 

"That's  interesting,  'Boston',  I've 
just  been  thinking  about  you.  It  just 
goes  to  prove  that  great  minds  run 
in  the  same  channel." 

"Have  a  chair.  I've  got  a  proposi- 
tion to  make  to  you." 

Derby  sat  down,  pulled  out  his 
pipe  and  tobacco  pouch,  and  looked 
at  Ames  inquiringly. 

"Captain,  I  needn't  remind  you 
that  the  election  campaign  for  gov- 
ernor is  getting  hot.  I  don't  have  the 
slightest  doubt  but  that  Governor 
Bigler  will  win  even  though  Waldo 
is  putting  up  a  stiff  fight.  But  the  gov- 
ernor's a  good  politician  and  he  isn't 
underestimating  Waldo's  vote  getting 
ability." 

Derby  nodded. 

Ames  continued,  "We're  friends 
so  I'll  be  frank  and  to  the  point.  I 
want  to  make  a  trip  to  San  Francisco. 
The  election  is  less  than  two  months 
away  and  I  want  to  see  Governor 


i^ARCH,  1962 


Bigler.  I've  given  him  plenty  of  sup- 
port in  the  Herald  and  I  want  my 
share  of  the  campaign  money  that's 
being  spread  around.  I've  got  to  do 
something  about  it  right  away.  If  I 
wait  until  after  election  day  I  won't 
get  anything." 

Derby  smiled  knowingly. 

"Will  you  do  me  a  favor,  captain? 
Will  you  run  the  paper  while  I'm 
gone?  I  don't  expect  to  be  away  for 
more  than  a  couple  of  weeks." 

"This  is  a  surprise!  I'd  be  glad  to 
do  anything  I  could  to  help  you,  but 
I've  never  edited  a  newspaper.  Nev- 
er had  any  experience." 

"It  isn't  too  hard.  You've  done  a 
lot  of  writing  in  your  time.  In  fact 
you've  got  quite  a  reputation.  Since 
coming  to  San  Diego  you've  sent 
contributions  to  the  Alta.  I've  read 
them  myself  and  they're  mighty  in- 
teresting. If  you'd  just  write  along 
that  line,  it  would  be  wonderful." 

"Well,  if  you  think  I  can  do  it,  I'll 
make  a  stab  at  it."

J^)  RBOR  Day  is  the  only  Ameri- 
Jj^  can  holiday  that  looks  to  the 
future.  In  1872  the  Hon.  J.  Steriing 
Morton,  then  United  States  Com- 
missioner of  Agriculture,  instituted 
the  custom  of  tree  planting  by  the 
school  children  in  his  home  state  of 
Nebraska.  More  than  a  million  trees 
were  planted  that  year  in  an  almost 
treeless  state.  By  1890,  thirty-five 
states  had  adopted  Arbor  Day.  The 
date  varies  with  the  climate  of  the 
state.  In  Florida  it  is  January.  In 
California,  we  have  chosen  the  birth- 
date  of  Luther  Burbank  as  our  Arbor 
Day. 

Burbank  was  born  March  7,  1849 
in  Lancaster,  Massachusetts.  In  that 
time,  most  New  England  boys  either 


became  sailors  or  went  to  California 
to  dig  gold.  Luther  was  not  strong 
enough  to  go  to  sea  or  to  "rough  it" 
in  a  mining  camp,  so  he  worked  on 
the  hum  drum  tasks  of  a  farm.  This 
boy  had  imagination  and  loved  plants 
so  he  soon  began  experimenting  with 
growing  things.  His  roasting  ears  of 
corn  were  ready  a  full  two  weeks 
before  those  of  the  local  farmers.  His 
potatoes  were  bigger  and  better.  By 
means  of  money  saved  from  sale  of 
his  farm  produce,  Burbank  paid  his 
passage  to  California. 

He  settled  in  Santa  Rosa.  Before 
long  he  had  a  little  nursery  and 
greenhouse  and  the  countless  ex- 
periments that  were  to  earn  him  in- 
ternational fame  were  underway.  He 


succeeded  in  producing  many  new 
and  valuable  forms  of  flowers,  fruits, 
nuts,  vegetables,  grasses  and  trees. 
The  worthless  cactus,  he  made  to 
give  up  its  thorns  and  produce  lus- 
cious, wholesome  fruit.  Many  of  his 
well  known  species  include  the  Bur- 
bank potato,  and  the  shasta  daisy 
which  were  developed  on  the  twenty 
acre  experimental  farm  west  of  Se- 
bastopol.  Here  he  carried  on  many 
of  his  famous  botannical  experi- 
ments. 

Burbank  believed  that  the  Red- 
wood Empire  area  was  the  chosen 
spot  of  all  the  earth  as  far  as  Nature 
was  concerned.  It  is  indeed  fitting 
that  his  birthday  should  be  chosen 
by  Californians  as  our  Arbor  Day.

I) f  course,  all  star-gazing  stopped 
and  giggles  broke  loose,  from  me 
.00,  but  not  Sister.  Just  a  shooing 
notion  of  her  hand  toward  the  door, 
is  her  charges  were  told,  "Act  like 
ladies,  please,"  and  in  we  went. 

Sister  Seraphine  naturally  was  the 
Drganist  for  all  services  in  the  Chapel. 
What  a  glorious  voice  she  had!  We 
kvent  to  Mass,  naturally,  every  morn- 
ing. The  non-Catholic  girls  were 
always  welcomed,  if  they  wished  to 
be  present  and  all  had  their  own 
lead  veils  —  white  for  Sundays  and 
Kolydays,  black  for  others.  Never 
nave  I  heard  anyone  of  them  in  any 
Catholic  school  say  any  pressure  was 
;ver  used  to  have  them  join  the 
;hurch,  but  many  have,  at  their  own 
•equest.  One  of  my  classmates  did, 
ind  I  stood  for  her.  How  proud  and 
lappy  I  was  to  have  been  chosen  by 
ler  to  be  her  godmother!  She  was 
iazel  Therkelsen  of  Portland,  Ore- 
gon. 

We  will  go  back  to  Greek  here  for 
I  few  lines,  maybe  more.  In  my 
ichool  days,  the  curriculum  was  cut 
ind  dried.  The  course  of  schooling 
romplete  and  thorough.  Would  it 
vere  that  way  now!  Instead  of  just 
;kip  and  jump  over  growing  youth 
|Vith  minds  or  brains  starving  to 
:now  real  things,  real  happenings  of 
listory. 

I  dropped  Greek,  after  three 
nonths.  Just  saw  no  future  in  it  for 
ne.  Latin  came  easy.  I  already  spoke 
Ipanish,  but  Greek,  I  got  nowhere 
vith.  So  plead  with  Sister  Seraphine 
o  let  me  stop  it.  Being  understand- 
ng  of  why  I  wanted  to  do  this,  Sister 
uive  consent,  but  the  Sister  who 
aught  it  never  forgave  me,  as  I 
earned,  when  school  closed  for  the 
uiiimer.

OLDEST  CHARTER  MEMBER 

IVIarguerita  Castruccia  Mercer,  last 
surviving  charter  member  of  Ruby 
Parlor  No.  46,  passed  away  on  No- 
vember 25,  1961,  after  a  lengthy  ill- 
ness. She  was  born  December  31, 
1 866  at  Robinson's  Ferry,  now 
known  as  Melones.  Her  husband 
was  the  late  Walter  J.  Mercer,  dis- 
coverer and  owner  of  the  famous 
Mercer's  Caves  in  Calaveras  County. 

Surviving  are  a  daughter,  Evalyn 
M.  Stephens,  and  granddaughter, 
Rosemary  Rue,  both  members  of 
Ruby  Parlor,  Mrs.  Stephens  being  a 
50  year  member.  Three  generations 
of  this  family  were  members  of  the 
Order  at  one  time.  A  son,  Walter, 
was  a  member  of  the  Native  Sons  of 
the  Golden  West. 

Funeral  services  were  held  in  the 
First  Congregational  Church  at  Mur- 
phys  with  Rev.  William  Ruhl  offici- 
ating. Interment  was  in  Buena  Vista 
Cemetery,  Murphys,  with  graveside 
services  by  members  of  Ruby  Parlor. 

It  is  thought  that  at  the  time  of  her 
death,  Sister  "Maggie"  was  the  oldest 
living  charter  member  of  the  Order. 


DAUGHTER  OF  FIRST 
GRAND  PRESIDENT 

Wilhelmina  K.  Horn,  known  as 
Minna  to  her  friends  was  born  in 
Benicia,  California,  January  4,  1883. 
After  graduating  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  California  at  Berkeley  she 
taught  school  in  Santa  Maria  and 
was  instrumental  in  securing  the 
first  phonograph  for  the  high  school. 

In  1913  she  began  teaching  in  the 
Etna  High  School.  Three  years  later 
she  married  Frank  J.  Horn  and  re- 
sided on  their  ranch.  From  1927  to 
1951  she  again  taught  in  the  Etna 
schools.  In  recognition  of  her  activi- 
ites  she  was  given  a  Life  Membership 
in  the  Parent  Teachers  Association. 

Her  mother,  Christine  L.  Kane, 
was  the  first  Grand  President  of  the 
Native  Daughters  and  in  1924  Minna 
joined  Eschscholtz'ui  No.  1 12.  She 
attended  Grand  Parlor  many  times 
and  served  as  Grand  Outside  Sentin- 


el,   Grand    Inside    Sentinel,    Grand 
Trustee  and  Grand  Organist. 

Upon  her  death  she  leaves  a 
daughter,  Virginia,  a  son,  Douglas 
and  their  families  besides  relatives 
and  friends.  She  was  always  in  de- 
mand as  a  musician  for  all  occasions. 
She  had  a  keen  sense  of  humor  and 
would  joke  about  the  fact  that  her 
arthritis  bothered  her  more  when  she 
played  piano  than  when  she  split 
wood.  She  was  quick  to  express 
appreciation  and  gave  praise  where 
due.  The  whole  community  will 
greatly  miss  her. 

f     i     i 
ESCHSCHOLTZIA 

Mrs.  Jessie  Burcell  was  installed 
as  President  of  Eschscholtzia  No. 
112,  Etna.  Other  officers  who  will 
serve  with  her  include  Barbara  Duffy, 
Eleanor  Hendricks,  Shirley  Gilmore, 
Colleen  McCallister,  Amy  Durham, 
Ellen  Skillen,  Barbara  Cross,  Thelma 
McNeil,  May  Aker,  Sadie  Buchner,

BIRTHDAY  PARTY 

Amy  Durham,  who  has  been  Re- 
cording Secretary  of  Eschscholtzia 
No.  112  for  fifteen  years,  was 
pleasantly  surprised  February  20 
when  she  was  given  a  birthday  party 
after  the  regular  business  session. 
Her  birthday  fell  on  February  22. 

The  members  sang  "Happy  Birth- 
day" as  she  entered  the  banquet 
hall.  Refreshments  were  served  from 
a  table  decorated  in  the  valentine 
motif.  There  was  a  decorated  cake 
at  Mrs.  Derham's  place  at  the  table. 
President  Jessie  Burcell,  whose  birth- 
day was  February  28,  was  given  a 
card  signed  by  all  the  members  wish- 
ing her  a  happy  birthday  also.  Lietta 
Ahlgren  was  presented  a  past  presi- 
dent's pin  from  the  Parlor.

The  Grand 
President's  Corner 


On  January  20  La  Paz  Parlor  No. 
326,  in  Pacifica,  was  added  to  our 
Golden  Fraternal  Chain  when  fifty- 
one  (real  diamonds)  joined  our  sis- 
terhood. Organizer  Dorothy  Mcln- 
tosch  of  El  Carmelo  Parlor  No.  180 
of  Daly  City  and  members  of  her 
parlor  initiated  our  new  members, 
and  it  was  my  privilege,  assisted  by 
the  Grand  Officers,  to  install  the 
charter  officers. 

It  was  a  beautiful  Institution  with 
the  members  of  Bonita  Parlor  No.  10 
of  Redwood  City  acting  as  escort 
for  the  newly  installed  officers.  I 
know  our  entire  membership  joins 
with  me  in  extending  a  hearty  wel- 
come to  our  new  sisters  and  wish  for 
them  many  happy  and  prosperous 
years  in  our  Order. 

The  Extension  of  our  Order 
should  be  the  of  concern  of  every 
Native  Daughter.  There  are  many 
native  Californians  eligible  for  mem- 
bership in  our  Order  and  it  is  up  to 
you  and  me  to  go  forth  and  invite 
women  who  will  add  to  the  social 
and  cultural  development  of  our  Or- 
der, Community  and  State.  I  trust 
when  Grand  Parlor  opens  in  Oroville 
we  will  be  able  to  show  a  substantial 
gain  for  the  current  year.  Remember 
thirteen  (13)  new  members  for  each 
Parlor  will  do  it!!

Hazel  Haub,  organist  of  the  Parlor 
for  many  years. 

In  the  month  of  March,  Santa 
Clara  county  is  ablaze  with  pink  and 
white  blossoms.  Sister  Haub  was  al- 
ways accompanist  for  the  "Blossom 
Day  Festival"  held  at  this  time.  She 
was  prominent  in  musical  circles, 
the  Past  Presidents  Club  of  Vendome 
Parlor,  Fraternity  Chapter  No.  31, 
O.E.S.,  and  an  honorary  member  of 
San  Jose  Woman's  Club. 

She  was  the  daughter  of  pioneer 
parents,  her  father,  the  late  William 
Egan  being  a  cattleman  in  the  early 
days  in  the  Mt.  Hamilton  Range.  She 
leaves  her  husband,  William  Haub; 
her  mother,  now  Mrs.  Leanna  Haub; 
two  sisters,  Mrs.  Mildred  Stone  of 
Vendome  Parlor  and  Mrs.  Elizabeth 
Whitaker  and  two  brothers,  Russell 
and  Edgar  Egan.  She  has  gone  to 
higher  things  but  has  left  to  all  who 
mourn  the  memory  of  her  sweet 
smile  and  gentle  laughter. 


ALELI 

Grand  President  Alice  D.  Shea  was 
greeted  by  visitors  from  the  counties 
of  Monterey,  San  Benito,  Santa  Cruz 
and  Santa  Clara  when  she  made  her 
official  visit  to  Aleli  102.  Seated  be- 
fore a  hugh  paper  rainbow  in  the 
lodge  hall  decorated  with  flowers  and 
bluebirds,  she  witnessed  initiation 
ceremonies  for  6  candidates,  which 
brought  the  Parlor's  membership 
to  200.  In  her  honor,  contributions 
were  made  to  the  Childrens  Founda- 
tion Fund,  Junipero  Serra  Statue 
Fund,  Leslie  Hicks  Home  Health 
Fund  and  Freedom's  Foundation.

VERDUGO 

Verdugo  No.  240  of  Glendale, 
celebrated  its  35th  birthday  with  a 
dinner  for  the  membership  recently. 
An  added  feature  of  interest  enjoyed 
by  all  was  when  the  Parlor  rolled 
out  a  real  honest-to-goodness  red 
carpet  as  a  surprise  for  the  guest  of 
honor,  PGP  Hazel  B.  Hansen,  who 
celebrated  her  20th  anniversary   as 


PGP  Hazel  B.  Hansen 

Grand  President  of  our  Order  in 
1941.  Hazel  wore  her  1941  install- 
ation gown  of  brocaded  white  silk, 
the  same  jewelry,  even  her  black 
velvet  wrap,  thinking  she  would  sur- 
prise her  parlor,  but  unknown  to  her 
plans  for  a  celebration  in  her  honor 
had  already  been  made.  Flora  Alice 
Day  and  Betty  Butler,  who  acted  as 
courtesy  marshals  for  the  evening, 
wore  the  same  gowns  they  wore  at 
Grand  Parlor  20  years  ago. 

A  history  of  the  institution  of  Ver- 
dugo Parlor  and  highlights  of  Hazel's 
year  as  Grand  President  was  present- 
ed by  past  presidents  of  Verdugo  No. 
240.  As  a  remembrance  she  was 
given  a  silver  charm  bracelet  with  a 
lovely  chann  attached,  a  gift  from 
her  parlor,  which  was  presented  by 
Evalyn  Wilson,  who  was  SDDGP  in 
1941. 

Parlor  past  presidents  attending 
were:  Vera  Carlson,  Evalyn  Wilson,

PLACERITA 

"Shamrock  Showcase"  was  the 
theme  of  the  gala  Spring  Salad  Bar 
Luncheon  and  Fashion  Show,  Satur- 
day, March  10,  1962,  at  11:30  a.m. 
for  Placerita  No.  277,  in  the  Van 
Nuys  Women's  Clubhouse. 

Bea  Lewiston  of  North  Hollywood 
presented  a  parade  of  fashions  in-

cessories  for  the   spring   wardrobe. 


Eva  Anderson  is  Childrcns  Founda-

rection of  Wanda  Ellis.  They  were 
Ethel  Somers,  Barbara  Terry,  Elza 
Gordon,  Genevieve  Marsh,  Betty 
Jenks,  Pat  Fowles,  Barbara  Doyle 
and  Marilyn  Ehlers. 

Large  green  shamrock  mobils  were

harps  and  leprechauns  decorated  the 
tables.  Assisting  with  arrangements 
were  Ellen  Hermann  and  Gertrude

CAPTAIN  DERBY  .  .  . 
(Continued  from  Page  3) 

Ames  jumped  up,  grasped  Derby's 
hand  and  pumped  it  vigorously. 

"Thanks,  captain,  thanks.  I  knew 
you  wouldn't  let  me  down.  Let's  go 
out  and  have  a  drink.  Then  we  can 
talk  over  details." 

Plans  for  the  interim  editorship 
were  made  and  in  the  August  thir- 
teenth issue  of  the  Herald  Ames  in- 
serted a  notice:  Our  Absence  —  We 
shall  leave  on  the  first  steamer  for 
San  Francisco,  to  be  absent  for  two 
weeks.  A  friend  of  acknowledged 
ability  and  literary  acquirements  will 
occupy  the  'old  arm  chair'  during 
our  absence." 

That  Derby  was  a  talented  writer, 
there  was  no  question.  However,  had 
Ames  known  that  the  captain  was  an 
incorrigible  practical  joker,  he  would 
have  entrusted  the  management  of 
his  paper  to  other  hands. 

Before  he  left,  Ames  gave  Derby 
explicit  instructions  on  the  political 
strategy  to  be  pursued.  "Keep  up  a 
campaign  along  the  line  I've  been 
following.  Stress  Bigler's  record. 
Throw  in  something  about  the  tradi- 
tion of  Andrew  Jackson." 

"What  about  Waldo,  Boston?" 

"Waldo?  Just  stress  his  inexperi- 
ence. Stress  that  he's  a  political  non- 
entity. Don't  talk  too  much  about 
him.  Talk  about  Bigler." 

"I'll  do  my  best." 

"I  know  you  will.  I  haven't  the 
least  worry." 

One  week  later  the  Herald  appear- 
ed under  the  guidance  of  Derby. 
There  was  nothing  extraordinary  a- 
bout  the  issue  except  the  following 
notice:  "Next  week  a  new  hand  will 
be  applied  to  the  bellows  of  this  es- 
tablishment, and  an  intensely  in- 
teresting  issue  will  possibly  be  the 
result.  The  paper  will  be  published 
on  Wednesday  evening;  and,  to  avoid 
confusion,  the  crowd  will  please  form 
in  the  plaza,  passing  four  abreast  by 
the  City  Hall  and  Herald  office,  from 
ihe  gallery  of  which  Johnny  will  hand 
them  their  papers." 

The  mysterious  reference  to  John- 
ny is  interesting,  for  according  to 
Derby  it  would  not  be  he  but  Johnny 
who  would  edit  the  paper.  Johnny,  of 
course,  was  none  other  than  John 
Phoenix,  one  of  Derby's  pen  names! 

Four  days  later  the  San  Diego 
Herald   appeared,    "slightly   assisted

by  'Phoenix'."  The  word,  "slightly," 
was  a  gross  understatement. 

In  the  meantime  Ames  had  taken 
passage  to  San  Francisco  on  the 
steamer  Goliah.  He  looked  forward 
eagerly  to  renewing  his  acquaintance 
with  Bigler.  Upon  his  arrival  he  was 
disappointed  to  learn  that  the  govern- 
or was  absent  from  the  city  on  a 
speech-making  tour.  There  was  no- 
thing to  do  but  wait.  Making  an  ap- 
pointment to  see  Bigler  upon  his  re 
turn,  Ames  devoted  his  time  profit- 
ably to  contacting  old  advertisers 
and  securing  new  ones. 

When  the  governor  came  back  to 
the  city,  the  San  Diego  publisher  was 
on  hand  for  his  conference.  Bigler 
greeted  him  cordially. 

"Glad  to  see  you,  Ames.  How  are 
things  in  San  Diego?" 

"Fine,  Governor,  fine.  We  have 
everything  under  control  just  as  we 
had  it  two  years  ago.  Our  publicity 
for  you  it,  if  anything,  even  better." 
"Glad  to  hear  it.  Just  received 
your  paper  this  morning.  Let's  take 
a  look  at  it." 

Governor  Bigler  tore  off  the  wrap- 
per of  the  latest  issue  of  the  Herald 
and  spread  out  the  paper.  At  the 
head  of  the  column  which  had  pre- 
viously been  devoted  to  extolling  the 
virtues  of  Bigler  was  the  slogan: 
"PHOENIX  INDEPENDENT 
TICKET.  For  Governor,  WILLIAM 
WALDO." 

Bigler's  face  contorted  with  anger. 

"What's  the  idea,  Ames?  I  thought 

you  were  my  friend. 

Ames  stared  unbelievingly. 
"I   don't  understand  it.   I  left  a 
reliable  man  in  charge.  I  —  " 

It  doesn't  make  any  difference 
what  you  don't  understand,"  inter- 
rupted the  governor,  "the  damage 
is  done.  I'm  a  busy  man.  Good-day 
sir." 

Ames  stumbled  out  of  the  room 
speechless. 

Down  in  San  Diego  the  readers  of 
the  Herald  were  equally  dumbfound- 
ed. Serious  minded  Democrats  storm- 
ed with  rage.  Members  of  the  Whig 
party  were  overjoyed.  Most  of  the 
voters  of  the  town  appreciated  the 
humor  of  the  situation  and  announc- 
ed the  drinks  to  be  on  Ames.  On 
election  day  Waldo  carried  the  town, 
by  a  four  to  three  majority,  a  defi- 
nite reversal  of  Bigler's  five  to  thrci 
victory  in  1851.  Despite  the  mach 
inations  of  Phoenix  the  governor  wa; 
reelected.  I 

CALIFORNIA  HERALol 


Derby  anticipated  trouble  with  the 
eturn  of  Ames.  On  the  last  issue  of 
he  Herald  which  he  published  ap- 
)eared  the  description  of  a  fight 
^'hich  supposedly  took  place  between 
lim  and  the  publisher.  The  article 
5  all  the  more  ludicrous  when  it  is 
ecalled  that  Derby  was  of  short 
tature  while  Ames  was  a  well-pro- 
•ortioned  giant,  six  feet,  six  inches 
all. 

Derby  wrote,  "We  held  'Boston' 
lown  over  the  press  by  our  nose 
which  we  had  inserted  between  his 
^eth  for  that  purpose),  and  while 
»ur  hair  was  employed  in  holding 
•ne  of  his  hands,  we  held  the  other 
1  our  left,  and  with  the  'sheep's  foot' 
irandished  above  our  head,  shouted 

0  him,  'Say  Waldo.'  'Never!'  he 
:asped." 

Derby  ended  his  description  of  the 
ncounter  by  saying,  "We  write  this 
/hile  sitting  without  any  clothing, 
xcept  our  left  stocking,  and  the  rim 

1  our  hat  encircling  our  neck  like  a 
ruflf'  of  the  Elizabethan  era  .  .  . 
/hile  Boston  is  sopping  his  eye  with 
old  water  .  .  .  and  glancing  with  in- 
^rest  over  the  advertisements  on  the 
econd  page  of  the  San  Diego 
ierald,  a  fair  copy  of  which  was 
truck  off  upon  the  back  of  his  shirt, 
t  the  time  we  held  him  over  the 
ness." 

The  fight,  which  Derby  so  vividly 
lescribed,  never  took  place.  Appar- 
ntly  Ames  harbored  no  ill  feelings 
oward  his  irresponsible  editor.  Pro- 
>ably  he  received  sufficient  money 
rom  his  San  Francisco  advertisers 
o  more  than  make  up  for  any  con- 
ribution  he  might  have  been  given 
)y  Bigler's  campaign  managers.  At 
iny  rate,  in  the  next  issue  of  the 
Ierald  he  wrote:  "Here  we  are  a- 
;ain!  Phoenix  has  played  the  'devil' 
luring  our  absence,  but  he  has  done 
t  in  such  a  good-humored  manner 
hat  we  have  not  a  word  to  say.  He 
las  done  things  which  he  ought  not 
o  have  done,  and  he  has  left  undone 
hings  which  he  ought  to  have  done; 
5ut  as  what  evil  he  has  done  cannot 
56  undone,  we  may  as  well  'dry  up 
md  let  it  slide.'"

FIRST  HOSPITAL 

The  first  hospital  in  California  was  es- 
tablished near  Monterey  in  1844  to  care 
for  persons  suffering  from  smallpox.  No 
doctor  was  in  attendance.  The  staff  con- 
sisted of  two  nurses  and  a  detail  of  men 
to  bury  the  dead.

The  lawyers  who  practiced  at  San 
Jose  a  century  ago  were  willing  to 
overlook  the  eccentricities  of  County 
Judge  Redman,  but  they  tired  of  his 
innumerable  court  recesses  to  visit 
the  saloon  across  the  street. 

In  desperation  every  attorney  of 
Santa  Clara  county  signed  a  peti- 
tion asking  the  alcoholic  jurist  to  re- 
sign. The  request  was  delivered  to 
the  judge  one  evening  and  on  the 
following  morning  the  court  room 
was  full  of  lawyers  wondering  what 
the  response  would  be. 

The  door  opened  and  the  judge 
slowly  thumped  his  way  to  the 
bench.  (He  had  a  wooden  leg.)  Cer- 
emoniously he  handed  his  hat  and 
cane  to  the  clerk. 

Sitting  down  wearily,  he  gazed 
about  him.  His  face,  lined  with  sleep- 
lessness, bore  a  sad  and  contrite  ex- 
pression. 

For  the  first  time  in  several  weeks 
he  appeared  stone  sober.  Something 
in  his  humble  demeanor  stirred  sym- 
pathy in  the  breasts  of  the  barristers. 
Perhaps  they  had  been  too  hasty. 
Maybe  the  old  man  should  have  an- 
other chance. 

Slowly  Judge  Redman  arose  and 
began  timidly,  "Gentlemen  of  the 
Bar,  last  night  I  received  a  petition 
signed  by  all  of  you,  couched  in  re- 
spectful language  and  setting  forth 
certain  reasons  why  I  should  tender 
my  resignation  as  judge  of  this  court. 
Conscious  of  my  infirmities  and  rea- 
lizing the  necessity  of  a  pure  judici- 
ary, throughout  the  silent  hours  of 
the  past  night  I  have  given  your  pe- 
tition prayerful  consideration." 

A  painful  silence  pervaded  the 
room.  Poor  old  fellow,  singing  his 
swan  song!

and  tlie  ^ield  of  ^^onov 


/tpjj  OLONEL  Magruder's  honor  had 
^  been  sullied.  At  least  so  thought 
the  colonel  and  he  was  very  touchy 
on  the  subject.  He  was  in  a  particu- 
larly explosive  mood  when  Captain 
George  Derby  entered  his  quarters 
at  the  San  Diego  Presidio. 

"Good  morning,  colonel." 

"Morning,    captain." 

"Anything  wrong,  colonel?" 

"Plenty.  You  know  that  confound- 
ed little  innkeeper  Tibbits"' 

Derby  nodded. 

"Well,  he's  insulted  me!" 

"That's  strange.  Maybe  he  had 
too  much  to  drink." 

"Drunk  nothing.  He  was  stone 
sober." 

"Anything  I  can  do?" 

"Nothing  captain.  I  must  have 
satisfaction." 

"Better  think  it  over.  Colonel.  I 
wouldn't  be  too  hasty.  Don't  do 
something  you'll  regret  afterwards." 

Derby   left   the   room.    This   was 

serious.   Magruder  had  exaggerated 

ideas  of  what  he  conceived  to  be  his 

i  honor  and  had  frequently  and  pomp- 

I  ously    reminded    his    fellow    officers 

that    hot,    southern    blood    coursed 

1  through  his  veins.  Derby  had  never 

APRIL,  1962 


taken  him  too  seriously.  Rather  he 
had  considered  him  somewhat  of  a 
cross  between  a  blowhard  and  a 
sour  belch. 

On  the  following  day  Captain 
Derby  learned  that  Magruder  had 
sent  a  challenge  to  Tibbits.  The  little 
innkeeper  had  read  the  message  with 
dismay,  but  he  was  no  coward  and 
promptly  agreed  to  the  duel. 

News  of  the  "affair  of  honor" 
sped  swiftly  though  the  settlement. 
Tibbits'  friends  were  greatly  dis- 
turbed. It  was  as  though  Goliath  had 
chalhnged  David  to  a  duel,  but  this 
David  didn't  even  have  a  sling  and 
wouldn't  have  known  how  to  use  one 
anyway.  In  fact,  the  largest  weapon 
he  had  ever  wielded  was  a  pen  and 
although  such  an  instrument  is  said 
to  be  more  powerful  than  the  sword 
it  seem;d  woefully  inadequate  on 
this  occasion. 

Couldn't  something  be  done  to 
stop  the  whole  thing?  Fellow  officers 
argued  strenuously  with  Magruder. 
What  satisfaction  could  he  possibly 
gain  by  dueling  with  a  civilian  half- 
pint?  What  would  be  the  reaction  of 
the  townspeople?  After  all,  by  his 
own    modest    admission,    Magruder 


h\j  JZ>v.  Jieo  7,  '^riis 


was  a  dead  shot.  It  was  just  plain 
murder! 

The  colonel  was  unmoved.  Let 
Tibbets  make  a  public  apology.  But 
Tibbstts  refused  point-blank.  He 
calmly  informed  his  friends  that  he 
had  never  insulted  Magruder  and 
therefore  had  no  apology  to  make. 

A  local  lodge,  of  which  Magruder 
and  Tibbetts  were  members,  met  in 
special  session.  Its  leading  member, 
Captain  Derby,  outlined  the  serious- 
ness of  the  situation.  He  reminded 
his  listeners  that  the  duel  would  not 
only  bring  disgrace  upon  the  lodge, 
but  would  also  mean  expulsion  of 
both  participants.  Derby  was  select- 
ed chairman  of  a  committee  to  re- 
monstrate with  the  wayward  breth- 
ren. 

Both  officer  and  innkeeper  ex- 
pressed profound  love  for  the  lodge, 
but  there  was  no  turning  back  now. 
The  time  and  place  of  the  event  had 
been  set.  Every  suggested  solution 
had  met  with  a  rebuff.  Derby  was

The  Blessing  of  the  Animals 


Old  Plaza  Church  at  Los  Angeles 


y 

J^  ear  after  year  on  Sabado  de 
Gloria,  the  Holy  Saturday  before 
Easter,  the  Mexican  people  of  Ol- 
vera  Street  in  Los  Angeles  have  fol- 
lowed the  old  tradition  of  the  "Bene- 
dicion  de  los  Animates"  (the  bless- 
ing of  the  animals).  The  custom 
dates  back  to  the  days  of  the  Patron 
Saint  of  the  animal  kingdom,  San 
Antonio  de  Abad,  whose  death  is 
recorded  in  the  year  356.  This  an- 

PAGE  4 


cient  ceremony  is  given  in  grateful 
recognition  of  the  services  given  to 
mankind  by  the  animals. 

In  the  early  days  of  Los  Angeles, 
the  people  had  to  travel  nine  miles 
to  Mission  San  Gabriel  for  Mass. 
There  were  no  funds  with  which  to 
build  a  church  in  the  new  pueblo  so 
the  priest  appealed  to  the  rancheros 
to  donate  cattle  from  their  herds. 
This  they  did  and  500  head  of  cattle 


were  brought.  These  were  auctioned 
off  in  the  Plaza  at  $5  a  head  to  pro- 
vide funds  for  a  place  of  worship. 
The  building  of  the  church  was  start- 
ed in  1814.  It  is  most  appropriate 
therefore  that  the  animals  be  blessed 
in  the  patio  of  the  Old  Plaza  church. 

On  the  Holy  Saturday  before 
Easter  the  parade  forms.  Garlands 
of  flowers  are  placed  around  thC; 
necks  of  the  larger  animals,  while 
bright  ribbons  festoon  the  bird  cages 
and  decorate  the  smaller  animals. 
A  shiny  black  Holstein  cow  wearing 
a  blanket  of  white  gardenias  and  a 
crown  of  orchids  upon  her  horns 
leads  the  parade  as  into  the  patio  ol 
the  old  historic  Church  of  Our  Lady 
Queen  of  the  Angels  come  the  ani- 
mals to  be  blessed. 

The  priest  holds  the  golden  re- 
ceptable  of  holy  water.  As  the  ani 
mals  pass  by,  crystal  drops  of  bless 
ing  fall  on  each  as  the  good  Fathe 
chants  the  Benediction: 

"Almighty  Father,  we  bless  thesi 
animals  for  all  they  have  done  for  us 
in  supplying  our  food,  in  carryin; 
our  burdens,  providing  us  with  cloth 
ing  and  companionship  and  renderin 
a  service  to  the  human  race  sine 
the  world  began." 

CALIFORNIA  HERAL 


by  Jane  Carlson 


Mt.  Rubidoux  was  named  for 
Louis  Robidoux  (as  he  spelled  his 
name),  a  French  pioneer  fur  trader 
and  early  California  settler.  Each 
year  the  worshippers  who  climb  the 
slopes  to  attend  the  sunrise  Easter 
services  look  down  on  the  vast  ex- 
panse of  land  once  owned  by  Rubi- 
doux and  which  was  part  of  the  great 
Rancho  Jurupa. 

On  April  11,  1909,  the  first  out- 
door Easter  sunrise  services  in  the 
United  States  were  held.  Frank  A. 
Miller,  founder  of  the  Riverside  Mis- 
sion Inn  and  Jacob  Riis,  a  New 
Yorker  who  vacationed  at  the  Inn 
conceived  the  idea.  It  was  Miller  who 
led  the  first  group  of  about  one  hun- 
dred persons  to  the  foot  of  the  Serra 
Cross  which  he  had  erected  on  Mt. 
Rubidoux.  It  was  a  dark  and  chilly 
morning  but  as  the  sun  rays  spread 
over  the  horizon,  a  trumpet  sounded, 
joyous  Easter  hymns  were  sung,  a 
prayer  was  given  and  the  services 
ended.  No  one  there  that  morning 
probably  realized  that  this  would  be- 
come an  annual  affair  known  all  over 
the  nation  and  that  it  would  serve  as 
the  inspiration  for  similar  services 
in  many  states. 

Just  three  years  after  that  first 
service,  three  thousand  people  met 
at  dawn  atop  Mt.  Rubidoux.  At  that 
Easter  service  Dr.  Henry  Van  Dyke 
read  his  famous  poem,  "God  of  the 
Open  Air."  For  the  occasion  he  add- 
ed these  lines: 

'"And   then  on   Easter   Morn,   His   victory 

won. 
Breaking  the  mortal  bars  that  sealed  the 

tomb 
In   a   fair   garden    filled   with   flowers    a- 

bloom. 
The  risen  Jesus  met  the  rising  sun." 

This  year  as  in  past  years  thou- 
sands will  gather  at  dawn  on  Easter 
morn  to  joyously  commemorate  the 
immortal  words  "He  is  risen."

the  Supervising  District  Deputy 
Grand  President  and  the  Deputy 
Grand  Presidents  of  Alameda  and 
part  of  Contra  Costa  Counties  spon- 
sored their  annual  Childrens  Founda-

affair  and  we  start  the  Lenten  season

understanding. 

During  April  I  will  visit  many 
Parlors,  not  only  for  "Official  Visits" 
but  for  Special  Events  that  will  bring 
much  recognition  to  our  Order.  It  is 
always  such  a  pleasure  to  be  with 
you. 

A  Joyous  Easter  to  All 
O  Savior,  grant  us  the  blessing 
promised  those  who  have  not  seen 
Thee,  yet  b  e  1  i  e  v  e  Thou  art  risen. 
Make  Thyself  known  to  us  in  the 
breaking  of  our  daily  bread.  Take  all 
our  labor  into  Thy  sacramental  hands 
and  use  it  for  the  feeding  of  many 
souls,  to  the  glory  of  thy  name  — 
Amen.

ffffSj   HE    FOLLOWING    REPORT   On   the 

Jij  on  the  Resolution  introduced  by 
our  Founder,  Lilly  O.  Reichling,  re- 
lating to  historical  landmarks,  etc., 
is  significant,  and  is  quoted  in  some 
detail: 

"Whereas,  It  is  apparent  that  many 
historical  landmarks  in  the  State  of 
California  are  falling  into  decay, 
suffering  at  the  hands  of  vandals  or 
giving  way  to  the  march  of  'improve- 
ment'; and 

"Whereas,  It  is  believed  that  many 
relics  and  documents  of  historical 
value  exist  which  are  held  in  light 
appreciation  by  their  possessors; 
and .  ,  . 


"Whereas,  It  is  the  sense  of  this 
Grand  Parlor  that  such  landmarks, 
when  practicable,  should  be  pre- 
served and  their  historical  value 
made  public,  and  that  the  relics,  doc- 
uments and  other  scattered  articles 
of  historical  value  should  be  gather- 
ed together  and  preserved  for  the 
benefit  of  the  State  and  its  people, 
and  as  it  is  a  just  and  becoming  task 
for  a  patriotic  organization  like  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West  to  undertake  the  work  of 
searching  for,  preserving  and  per- 
petuating such  landmarks  and  gather- 
ing together  all  such  historical  doc- 
uments and  relics  as  are  not  already

set  apart  in  the  archives  of  the  State 
or  in  museums  or  other  repositories 
accessible  to  the  public;  therefore 
be  it 

"Resolved,  That  preliminary  to 
the  work  of  such  preservation  and 
collection,  the  Grand  President  is 
hereby  authorized  to  appoint  a  gen- 
eral committee  of  not  less  than  three, 
which  committee  shall  proceed  at 
once,  upon  its  appointment,  to  com- 
municate with  the  Subordinate  Par- 
lors with  a  view  to  securing  informa- 
tion concerning  the  location,  charac- 
ter, ownership,  condition  and  value 
of  such  articles  or  landmarks  above 
mentioned;  and  be  it  further 

"Resolved,  That  the  General  Com- 
mittee herein  provided  for  shall 
submit  to  the  next  Grand  Parlor  a 
plan  for  utilizing  the  information  it 
may  acquire;  and  be  it  further 

"Resolved,  That  the  Grand  Par- 
lor recognizes  the  value  of  the  his- 
torical research  carried  on  by  var- 
ious persons  and  societies,  and  that 
it  is  at  all  times  willing  to  cooperate 
with  such  societies  and  individuals; 
and  it  is  hereby  ordered  that  copies 
of  these  resolutions  be  sent  to  all 
known  organizations  of  this  charac- 
ter and  to  the  press,  the  cooperation 
and  support  of  which  is  earnestly  de- 
sired and  requested."  Lilly  O.  Reich- 
ling, Belle  W.  Conrad,  Eliza  D. 
Keith. 

A  motion  was  made  at  this  Session 
to  purchase  a  site  for  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  Home, 
title  be  vested  in  the  Grand  Parlor, 
but  action  was  postponed  until  a 
later  time. 

Past  Grand  President  Mariana 
Bcrtola  reported  on  the  circulars 
sent  out  by  herself  and  Marie  Pioda 
concerning  the  establishment  of  a 
scholarship,  stating  that  the  com- 
mittee felt  the  entire  subject  should 
be  discussed  by  the  subordinate  par- 
lors. The  following  resolution  was 
offered  by  Dr.  Bertola:

VER  SEVENTY-FIVE  years  ago, 
in  the  historic  Livermore 
Valley,  the  Concannon  Vineyard  was 
born.  Its  founder,  James  Concannon, 
was  a  remarkable  man.  At  the  age  of 
18  he  emigrated  from  Ireland,  arriv- 
ing at  Boston  in  1865.  After  his  mar- 
riage to  Ellen  Rowe  in  1874  they 
settled  out  west  in  San  Francisco, 
where  he  sold  books  for  Anton  Ro- 
man, pioneer  bookseller.  After  pur- 
suing several  business  ventures,  both 
here  and  in  Mexico,  he  returned  to 
California  where  he  began  searching 
for  a  new  busniess.  His  friend.  Arch- 
bishop Joseph  S.  Alemany,  advised 
him  to  enter  the  wine  business,  ex- 
plaining that  the  Catholic  Church 
was  rapidly  expanding  and  that  there 
was  a  shortage  of  sacramental  wine. 

Concannon  approached  this  new 
venture  in  his  characteristically 
cautious  and  methodical  fashion.  Af- 
ter several  trips  to  France  where  he 
studied  viticulture,  he  chose  the  Liv- 
ermore Valley  as  having  the  closest 
growing  conditions  to  those  in  Bor- 
deaux. In  1883  he  purchased  47 
acres.  The  winery  and  vineyards  grew 
as  the  Concannon  name  established 
a  reputation  for  white  wines. 

After  James  Concannon's  death  in 
1911,  his  son  Joseph  became  general 
manager.  During  prohibition,  the 
Concannon  wine  making  technique 
continued  by  selling  altar  wines  to 
churches.  In  1937,  Joseph  Concan- 
non, now  owner  of  the  vineyard, 
planted  Cabernet  Sauvignon  grapes 
and  Zinfandels,  both  which  have  pro- 
duced gold  medal  winning  wines  at 
the  Califonia  State  Fair. 

Today  the  original  47  acres  have 
expanded  into  over  350  productive 
acres  with  more  in  reserve  for  future 
development.  Although  the  winery 
specializes  in  fifteen  varieties  of  table 
wines,  approximately  40%  of  pro- 
duction is  for  the  14  varieties  of  al- 
tar wines  [sold  principally  to  Roman

Catholic,  Protestant  Episcopal  and 
Lutheran  churches].  On  August  16, 
1958,  during  the  Winery's  Diamond 
Jubilee,  the  State  Park  Commission 
dedicated  its  Historical  Landmark 
No.  641,  officially  marking  this  his- 
toric California  enterprise.

AGNES  M.  CURRY 

Mrs.  Agnes  M.  Curry,  a  past  pres- 
ident of  Portola  Parlor  No.  172,  San 
Francisco,  died  suddenly  due  to  a 
heart  attack  in  late  December.  Her 
life  was  dedicated  to  the  devotion  of 
the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West,  her  State  and  Country  and  to 
her  friends.  She  served  as  financial 
secretary  in  the  Parlor  for  over  40 
years,  and  as  Grand  Treasurer  for 
16  years.  To  know  Agnes  Curry  was 
a  privilege  and  an  honor.  She  was 
was  a  faithful  active  member  who 
will  be  sadly  missed  not  only  for  her 
service  but  also  as  a  kind,  interested 
friend  of  all  the  members.  Her  noble 
character  and  kind  disposition  en- 
deared her  to  all. 


"PATRIOT"     PARLOR 

"Patriot"  Parlor,  consisting  of  El 
Carmelo  No.  181,  Menlo  No.  211 
and  San  Bruno  No.  246,  received  an 
official  visit  from  Worthy  Grand 
President  Alice  D.  Shea  at  Eagles 
Hall  in  Daly  City.  Both  the  meeting 
and  the  banquet  halls  were  attrac- 
tively decorated  in  red,  white  and 
blue.  The  Escort  Team  carrying  red, 
white  and  blue  pompons  formed  a 
graceful  arch  as  the  Grand  President 
was  escorted  to  her  station. 

Another  "diamond"  was  added 
when  Mrs.  Muriel  Hopkins  was  initi- 
ated into  El  Carmelo  Parlor  and  the 
officers  of  that  Parlor  performed  the 
ritualistic  work.  Two  other  candi- 
dates were  unable  to  be  present  due 
to  illness.  Dorothy  White  of  El  Car- 
melo and  Rena  LoReaux  of  San 
Bruno  were  presented  with  their  25 
year  emblems  by  the  Grand  Presi- 
dent. 

There  was  a  large  attendance  and 
the  delicious  refreshments  and  friend- 
ly atmosphere  of  the  long  social 
hour  were  enjoyed  by  everyone. 
Among  those  present  were  Past 
Grand  Presidents  Evelyn  I.  Carlson 
and  Irma  Caton:  two  State  Chairmen 
and  four  visiting  Deputies.  Eight 
other  Parlors  were  represented.

CAPTAIN  DERBY  .  .  . 
(Continued  from  Page  3) 

greatly  distressed.  There  must  be  an 
answer  to  the  problem,  he  kept  tell- 
ing himself. 

A  few  days  before  the  duel  he 
stopped  at  a  local  tavern  for  a  drink. 
Several  of  his  friends  were  seated  at 
a  table  discussing  the  town's  chief 
topic  of  conversation.  Accepting  a 
preferred  chair  he  looked  about 
glumly. 

"What's  the  matter  Captain?  You 
haven't  cracked  a  joke  for  a  week. 
Things  just  don't  seem  natural, 
around  here." 

"No,  things  aren't  natural,"  re- 
sponded Derby,   "Things  are  bad." 

Suddenly  he  rose. 

"Good-bye  men,  I've  got  to  go." 

"Better  have  a  drink  first." 

"No,  haven't  time." 

Quickly  leaving  the  tavern  he 
strode  to  the  hitching  rack,  mounted 
his  horse,  and  raced  toward  his  liv- 
ing quarters.  Derby  had  work  to  do. 

However,  despite  any  ideas  that 
his  nimble  brain  might  conjure,  pre- 
parations for  the  duel  continued. 
Indeed,  Derby  appeared  to  have  re- 
signed himself  to  the  inevitable.  He 
was  seen  on  several  occasions  in 
earnest  conversation  with  the  duel- 
ist's seconds.  Dirty  business!  Better 
have  it  over  with  quickly. 

The  appointed  morning  was  cold 
and  misty.  Promptly  at  five  o'clock 
the  dramatis  personae  arrived  at  the 
field  of  honor,  a  sheltered  arroyo 
some  distance  from  town.  After  the 
formal  preliminaries  the  combatants 
marched  to  the  center  of  a  clearing 
and  stood  back  to  back.  The  colonel 
towered  over  his  opponent  whose 
diminutive  size  had  earned  for  him 
the  sobriquet  of  "Two  Bits." 

Tibbetts  stood  stiff  and  erect,  his 
face  ashen.  He  clutched  his  pistol 
tightly. 

At  a  signal  Magruder  and  Tibbetts 
marched  forward  five  paces,  wheeled 
and  fired.  Tibbetts  shot  wide  of  his 
target.  The  bullet  from  Magruder's 
gun  sped  unerringly  to  its  mark  and 
spattered  messily  on  Tibbett's  fore- 
head. 

The  little  innkeeper  reeled  un- 
steadily and  sat  down  with  a  thump. 
His  physician  sprang  forward  to 
examine  him.  Remarkable.  There 
!was  no  blood.  He  summoned  the 
j  other  physician  and  the  two  called 
jthe  seconds  into  consultation.  Tib- 
ibets  was  stunned  but  otherwise  un- 

i  APRIL,  1962 


hurt.  Someone  had  loaded  the  pistols 
with  charcoal  blackened  tallow  balls! 
Colonel  Magruder  frothed  with 
rage,  threatening  to  kill  both  sec- 
onds. Where  was  Derby  who  had 
ridden  so  jauntily  to  the  dueling 
grounds?  Derby  had  vanished.

II  hen  Commencement  day  arrived, 
1  was  one  dazed  and  hurt  student.  It 
was  hard  —  the  surprise  handed  me. 
Hardest  of  all,  since  my  grandfather 
Scott's  personal  friend,  Archbishop; 
Hanna  gave  the  diplomas  and  I  drew 
none.  What  a  day  for  me.  First,  the 
Sister  who  taught  Greek,  saw  to  it, 
that  I  was  not  allowed  to  become  a 
"Child  of  Mary",  the  highest  honor 
a  girl  can  earn  and  be  so  very  proud 
to  wearing  its  light  blue  cape  —  not 
for  me  for  sure  now. 

So,  when  the  class  was  seated  on 
the  stage  in  the  Auditorium,  theii 
blue  capes  over  their  white  gradua- 
tion dresses.  Miss  Scott  was  not  with 
them.  She  had  no  cape,  hence,  sal 
alone  farther  back.  After  all  had 
been  introduced  to  the  Archbishop 
after  a  nice  little  introduction  to  him 
by  Sister,  and  receiving  their  diplo- 
mas, each  backed  away.  Suddenly, 
on  the  stage  comes  my  Greek  teach- 
er. What  now,  I  wondered,  and  sooe 
found  out. 

Miss  Scott,  please  come  forward. 
I  did.  The  Archbishop  asked  why  1 
was  not  with  the  class.  Sister  ans- 
wered, "Miss  Scott  has  refused  tc 
complete  the  course  prescribed  by  the 
school  in  Greek,  so,  naturally  hei 
course  is  incomplete;  was  therefoR 
not  eligible  for  a  diploma,  but  wai 
being  given  a  Certificate  of  Perfec 
tions  instead." 

Numb.  I  was  just  numb.  Do  no 
remember  as  I  do  not  think  I  hear(| 
what  the  Archbishop  said.  I  took  tht 
white  scroll  with  its  long  ribbon 
curtsied  and  backed  away.  Thei 
came  the  deep,  hurting  hope  that  witl 
so  many  girls  there,  my  name  weiij 
unnoticed  as  a  Scott.  ; 

The  Sister  that  did  this  was  a  pecu< 
liar  teacher,  fine  in  her  work,  bui 
really    sharp-tongued.    My    first   ex ' 
pericncc  with  her  was  during  a  dis 
cussion,  argumentative  in  class  whei 

CALIFORNIA  HERALCl 


Gladys  Dodge  and  I,  the  two  tallest 
students  were  pitted  against  on  an- 
other, as  we  stood  up  for  the  fracas 
and  she  said,  "Go  to  it  girls.  Freeze 
your  teeth  and  take  your  tongue  for 
a  sleigh  ride."  Result  —  I  broke. 
Such  talk  was  foreign  to  my  home 
training,  yet  all  of  this  hardness  from 
a  teacher  was  good  for  me  in  the 
long  run  and  more  broadening  the 
wider  knowledge  became.  Such  ones 
arc  found  very  often.  I  loved  my 
months  there  and  went  back  in  later 
years  to  see  all  my  old  teachers,  but 
her.  1  never  asked  for.

beautiful  Dolman  is  held  by  Mrs. 
Fred  W .  Beyer,  past  president  of  the 
San  Diego  Women's  Club. 

Twenty  years  later,  married,  the 
mother  of  two  children  and  living  in 
San  Diego,  I  received  an  Alumna's 
recognition  as  such,  to  the  graduation 
exercises,  but  I  ignored  it,  naturally.

expected  sayings  can  make  or  break

LAKE  TAHOE 

Lake  Tahoe  was  discovered  on 
February  14,  1844  by  Captain  John 
C.  Fremont  who  first  called  it  Moun- 
tain Lake.  Later  he  renamed  it  Lake 
Bonpland  in  honor  of  Aime  Bon- 
pland,  French  botanist  who  accom- 
panied Humboldt  on  his  trip  to 
South  America. 

John  Bigler,  governor  of  Californ- 
ia from  1852  to  1856,  had  the  name 
changed  to  Lake  Bigler. 

During  the  Civil  War  suporters  of 
the  Union  objected  strenuously  to 
the  former  governor's  name  being 
given  to  the  body  of  water  as  Bigler 
had  been  very  outspoken  in  his  sup- 
port of  the  Southern  Cause.  In  1862 
the  Lake  became  known  at  Tahoe, 
presumably  the  Washoe  Indian  name 
for  "big  water". 

In  1870  a  Democratic  legislature 
reinstated  the  name  of  Bigler.  It  was 
not  until  1945  that  the  Legislature 
officially  changed  the  name  back  to 
Lake  Tahoe. 


ZUMWALT  MEADOWS 

Located  in  the  Kings  River  Can- 
yon. Zumwalt  Meadows  was  named 
for  its  one-time  owner,  Daniel  Kindle 
Zumwalt,  a  land  agent  for  the  South- 
ern Pacific  Railroad  and  promoter  of 
water  and  canal  companies.  He  was 
a  leader  in  the  conservation  move- 
ment that  resulted  in  the  creation  of 
Sequoia  and  General  Grant  National 
Parks.

CORONA  DEL  MAR 

One  of  O  r  a  n  g  e  County's  beach 
cities  is  Corona  Del  Mar,  which  is 
located  between  Newport  and  La- 
guna  Beach.  Its  Spanish  name  means 
"crown  of  the  sea." 


GOLDEN  GATE 

The  entrance  to  San  Francisco 
Bay  was  named  Golden  Gate  by  John 
C.  Fremont.  In  a  memoir  addressed 
to  the  United  States  Senate  in  June, 
1848,  he  declared,  "To  this  gate  I 
gave  the  name  of  Chrysopylae  of 
Golden  Gate  for  the  same  reason 
that  the  harbor  of  Byzantium  (after- 
wards called  Constantinople)  was 
called  Chrysoceras,  or  Golden  Horn. 
.  .  .  The  form  of  the  entrance  into 
the  bay  of  San  Francisco  and  its  ad- 
vantages for  commerce,  Asiastic  in- 
cluded, suggested  to  me  the  name 
which  I  gave  to  this  entrance. 


SLUG  GULTCH 

The  word  "slug"  was  a  favorite 
miners'  term  for  coarse  gold  nuggets. 
It  was  also  used  for  the  large  gold 
coins  of  the  1850's.  Slug  Gulch  is  lo- 
cated in  Placer  county. 


GAVIOTA  PASS 

The  Portola  expedition  camped 
in  this  pass,  situated  in  Santa  Bar- 
bara County,  on  August  24,  1769. 
Fray  Juan  Crespi,  chronicler  of  the 


party  noted  in  his  diary  that  he  had 
given  the  place  the  name  of  San  Luis 
Rey,  because  it  was  first  seen  on  the 
eve  of  the  birthday  of  Saint  Louis, 
King  of  Spain. 

Crespi  also  recorded  that  the  sol- 
diers called  the  pass  Gaviota  because 
one  of  their  number  shot  a  Gaviota 
(Spanish  for  seagull)  in  that  locality. 

TUNNEL  HILL 

Tunnel  Hill  was  the  site  of  a  tun- 
nel-mining operation  for  gold  in  1852 
near  Jackson;  hence  the  name. 

PUTS  BAR 

A  gold-mining  site  on  the  Moke- 
lumme  River  which  was  not  particu- 
larly rich.  After  1855  it  became  a 
popular  site  for  Chinese  miners.  Un- 
doubtedly it  was  named  in  honor  of 
"Old  Put"  (John  A.  Stone)  the  song 
writer. 


NEGRO  CANYON 

Negro  Canyon  in  Los  Angeles 
County  was  named  for  Robert 
("Uncle  Bob")  Owen,  who  came 
from  Texas  in  1853,  secured  a  con- 
tract to  supply  firewood  to  the  sol- 
diers, invested  his  money  wisely,  and 
became  the  richest  colored  man  in 
the  county. 

TURTLE  MOUNTAINS 

Located  in  San  Bernardino  Coun- 
ty, the  Turtle  Mountain  region  is  the 
habitat  of  the  desert  turtle  or  tortoise. 


R4COON  STRAIT 

The  channel  between  Angel  Island 
and  Marin  County  was  named  for 
the  British  warship  Racoon,  which 
anchored  in  San  Francisco  Bay  in 
1814  to  make  repairs. 


CALIFORNIA  FIRSTS 

Ground  was  broken  on  June  2.  1873 
in  San  Francisco  for  the  first  cable  street 
railway  in  the  world.  The  cable  railway 
was  devised  by  A.  S.  Hallidie,  a  San 
Francisco  manufacturer  of  wire  rope,  and 
William  Eppelscheimer,  mechanical  en 
gineer.  The  first  section  was  built  or 
Clay  Street  from  Kearney  to  Jones.  The 
railway  was  completed  and  started  sue 
cessful  operation   in  September,    187.^. 

Potatoes  were  first  brought  to  Californ> 
ia  in  1786  by  the  French  navigator  Jeai 
Francois  Galaup  de  la  Perouse.  He  oW 
tained  them  in  Chile.

"Action  being  taken  on  question

A  Texas  oilonaire  walked  into  a  Cadillac

salesman.  "What  can  I  do  for  you  today?" 

"My  wife  has  come  down  with  a  touch 
of  the  flu,"  the  tycoon  explained.  "Have 
you  anything  suitable  in  the  way  of  a 
get-well   car?"

mail  will  be  increased  to  50  an  ounce 
and  second  class  mail  will  require  a 
one-cent  surcharge  on  each  maga- 
zine and  newspaper. 

Second  class  mail  has  experienced 
an  89%  increase  since  1945  and  if 
this  bill  becomes  a  law  the  increase 
will  be  178%! 

Representative  John  Lesinski,  Jr. 
of  Michigan  states  that  HR  7927 
"will  deal  a  crippling  blow  to  the 
magazine  industry  and  place  heavy 
economic  burdens  upon  the  already 
pinched  small-city  dailies,  the  rural 
press  and  the  farm  journals.  .  .  .  The 
estimated  increase  in  revenue  of  53 
million  dollars  on  second-class  mail 
exceeds  the  gross  annual  profits  of 
the  entire  magazine  industry." 

Already  many  fine  national  maga- 
zines have  ceased  circulation.  Col- 
lier's, Woman's  Home  Companion, 
Scribner's,  McC lure's,  Coronet,  Pic- 
torial Review,  and  many  others  no 
longer  exist.  Many  others  are  hang- 
ing on  precariously. 


Certainly  our  Government  doesn't 
want  us  to  become  an  intellectual 
Sahara.  Maybe  we  could  save  a  few 
millions  that  we  annually  spread  a- 
broad.  Maybe  the  government  could 
charge  itself  postage  for  the  millions 
of  pieces  of  mail  it  distributes  each 
year  for  free. 

Magazines  are  now  scraping  the 
bottom  of  the  barrel  to  make  ends 
meet. 

Our  Senator  Kuchel  has  already 
spoken  out  against  this  bill.  Send  him 
a  note  telling  him  that  you  are  back- 
ing him.  Also  send  a  letter  to  Senator 
Engle  asking  him  to  oppose  this  bill.

Sf?^  HE  STORY  OF  Disneyland  is  a  20- 
Ji  year  "dream  come  true"  for  its 
creator  and  chief  architect,  Walt  Dis- 
ney. Even  before  Mickey  Mouse 
emerged  as  a  box  office  star  and 
"Snow  White  and  the  Seven  Dwarfs" 
ushered  in  an  entire  new  field  in 
motion  picture  entertainment,  draw- 
ings for  a  "Disneyland"  —  then  a  far- 
fetched idea  —  began  appearing  in 
Walt  Disney's  office. 

This  "Magic  Kingdom"  combines 
the  wonders  of  nature,  a  look  into 
the  future,  pages  out  of  the  historical 
past,  and  a  showcase  of  storybook 
adventures,  into  a  new  concept  in  the 
field  of  family  entertainment. 


The  Disneyland  that  opened  in 
1955  in  Anaheim,  California,  re- 
flects the  character  and  personality  of 
Walt  Disney.  The  man  who  came  to 
Hollywood  in  1923  with  $40.00  in 
cash  and  a  boundless  imagination  has 
the  rare  ability  to  transform  his  cre- 
ative dreams  into  reality. 

Disneyland  is  as  diversified  as  the 
interests  of  Walt  himself.  A  keen 
student  of  American  history,  he  has 
preserved  —  in  Frontierland  —  the 
spirit  of  the  pioneers  who  blazed  the 
trails  across  America.  Main  Street, 
U.  S.  A.  typifies  the  leisurely-paced 
turn  of  the  century  small  town  main 
streets  Walt  and  many  others  knew 


The  spectacular  beauty  of  the  Disneyland  Sleeping  Beauty  Castle 

and  the  "snow  covered"  Matterhorn  in  the  background  are  two 

of  the  features  of  Disneyland  that  attract  about  five  million  visitors 

to  Anaheim,  California  each  year. 


MAY,  1962 


and  loved  so  well.  A  man  who  often 
heard  others  express  the  desire  to 
travel  to  far-off  places,  Walt  included 
m  Disneyland  an  Adventureland  for 
the  would-be  jungle  explorer  and  big 
game  hunter.  And  one  needs  to  look 
no  further  than  other  fields  of  enter- 
tainment to  witness  Walt  Disney's  in- 
terest in  the  world  in  which  we'll  soon 
be  living  (Tomorrowland)  and  the 
realm  of  storybook  favorites  of  "the 
young  at  heart  of  all  ages"  (Fantasy- 
land.) 

Sparked  by  Walt's  own  enthusiasm 
and  literally  countless  ideas,  art  di- 
rectors sketched,  designed  and  re- 
designed attractions,  exhibits,  shops 
and  stores  —  from  medieval  castles 
to  log  fortresses,  from  rocket  ships 
to  a  turn  of  the  century  City  Hall  and 
meat  market.  Meanwhile,  other  Dis- 
ney staff  members  searched  the  coun- 
try for  authentic  photographs  to  be 
used  in  the  design  work;  for  old-time 
train  engines  to  haul  passengers 
aboard  railway  cars  of  the  1890's; 
for  authentic  gnarled  pine  posts  to  be 
used  in  Frontierland;  and  even  —  in 
one  of  "the  last  round-ups"  —  for  the 
195  horses,  mules  and  ponies  which 
now  call  Disneyland  "home." 

In  July  of  1955,  Disneyland  open- 
ed its  gates  with  22  attractions  and 
adventures  and  an  entire  wing  at  the 
Walt  Disney  Studios  full  of  sketches 
and  models  for  other  attractions.  To- 
day many  of  these  ideas  —  and  many 
more  which  are  based  on  the  experi- 
ence of  public  reaction  and  enthu- 
siasm for  particular  adventures  in 
Disneyland  —  have  been  added  to  the 
Anaheim,  California  wonderland.  In 
all,  there  are  46  attractions  in  Disney- 
land today  —  plus  numerous  exhibits, 
shows,  shops  and  stores.  The  invest- 
ment has  grown  from  the  original  $17 
million  to  $37,000,000. 

There  are  attractions  based  on 
Walt  Disney's  interest  in  trains  of  all 
manner  and  description  —  Ameri- 
ca's first  monorail,  the  Disneyland- 
Alweg  Monorail  System,  now  con- 
necting the  Magic  Kingdom  with  the 
Disneyland  Hotel;  the  Excursion

In^ARLY  IN  THIS  CENTURY  the  little 

Jff^  oil  town  of  Olinda,  in  northern 
Orange  County,  became  baseball 
mad.  No  doubt  its  fanatical  interest 
in  the  national  pastime  can  be  attri- 
buted to  the  fact  that  its  semi-pro 
team  had  a  phenomenal  pitcher.  That 
pitcher  was  Walter  Johnson  who  later 
became  the  star  performer  of  the 
Washington  Senators. 

At  the  time  Johnson  was  in  his 
teens.  Many  of  the  games  on  which 
he  participated  were  played  on  an 
opsn  field  next  to  the  Santa  Fe  depot 
in  Anaheim. 

Johnson  was  born  on  a  farm  near 
Humboldt,  Kansas,  on  November  6, 
1887,  and  came  to  Olinda  with  his 
family  when  he  was  fourteen  years 
old.  He  pitched  his  first  game  of  ball 
for  FuUerton  High  School.  His  first 
contract  was  with  a  professional 
team  at  Tacoma  from  which  he  was 
released  before  he  did  any  pitching. 
Next  he  joined  a  semi-pro  team  at 
Weiser,  Idaho. 

He  commenced  playing  with  the 
Washington  Senators  in  1907  and 
remained  with  that  club  for  twenty 
years.  No  doubt  his  superb  record 
would  have  been  phenomenal  had  he 
beeii  supported  by  a  stronger  team. 
Vaudeville  comedians  used  to  get  a 
laugh  by  striking  a  dramatic  pose 
and  declaiming,  "Washington — first 
in  war,  first  in  peace,  and  last  in  the 
American  League."  While  this  gag 
was  not  always  true,  it  did  express 
the  weakness  of  the  Senators. 

Walter  Johnson,  who  was  given 
the  nickname  of  "The  Big  Train"  by 
Grantland  Rice,  possessed  remark- 
able qualities  of  character.  Tom 
Meany  declared  that,  "He  neither 
smoked  nor  drank,  never  beefed  at 
an  umpire  or  argued  with  a  team- 
mate. He  didn't  swear  and  he  never 
had  the  faintest  semblance  of  a 
swelled  head." 

There  is  a  story  about  him  which 
is  said  to  illustrate  the  "closest"  he 
ever  came  to  swearing.  In  the  early 
days  of  baseball  it  was  not  unusual 
for  a  team  to  bet  on  itself.  On  one 
occasion  the  Senators  bet  the  Red 
Sox  six  hundred  dollars  that  Wash- 
ington would  win.  In  the  ninth  inning 
the  Senators  were  ahead  1-0.  With 
Johnson  pitching,  two  opposing 
players  got  safe  hits.  George  McBride 
ran  up  from  his  shortstop  position 
and  berated  The  Big  7  rain  for  being

ram 


careless.  Johnson  said  nothing,  but 
struck  out  the  next  three  batters.  In 
jubilation  McBride  ran  over  to  con- 
gratulate the  pitcher.  Johnson  gave 
him  a  piercing  stare  and  exclaimed 
"Goodness  gracious,  Mr.  McBride,  I 
guess  that  will  teach  you  to  mind 
your  own  darn  business!" 

Johnson  was  frequently  called 
"The  Big  Swede."  Although  he  was 
of  Dutch,  English  and  Scotch-Irish 
ancestry,  he  never  corrected  the  er- 


roneous impression  that  he  was  of 
Scandanavian  ancestry,  privately  ex- 
plaining that  he  did  not  wish  to  inti- 
mate that  he  would  have  any  objec- 
tions of  being  a  Swede. 

Of  him  Al  Schacht  said,  "Johnson 
was  the  only  pitcher  I  ever  knew, 
who  would  throw  a  ball  out  of  the 
game  if  he  found  it  scuffled  or 
roughed  up  in  any  spot  on  the  cover. 
Other  pitchers  would  try  to  keep 
such  a  ball  in  play  so  they  could 
'cheat'  a  bit  with  it.  Scuffed  baseballs 
'sail'  and  are  twice  as  difficult  to  fol- 
low as  one  on  which  the  cover  is 
smooth."  Moreover,  Johnson  is  re- 
membered as  never  intentionally  hit- 
ting a  batter. 

At  the  first  popular  election  to  the 
Baseball  Hall  of  Fame,  in  1936,  The 
Big  Train  was  chosen  along  with 
Ty  Cobb,  Christy  Mathewson,  Babe 
Ruth  and  Honus  Wagner.  On  his 
plaque  are  the  words:  "Conceded  to 
be  the  fastest  ball  pitcher  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  game." 

Johnson's  life  was  full  of  sorrow. 
His  beloved  wife  died  suddenly  leav- 
ing him  with  several  small  children. 
Ventures  outside  of  baseball  proved 
unfortunate.  Of  him  Ken  Smith  said, 
"He  held  a  unique  and  enviable 
place  in  the  hearts  of  all  fans,  a  sym- 
bol of  Christ-like  patience,  fortitude 
and  hope  in  the  face  of  more  tragedy 
than  it  seems  right  for  one  mortal  to 
bear." 

Exhibition  Game  at  Brea 

Old  timers  will  long  remember 
October  31,  1924.  On  that  day  a 
number  of  major  league  stars,  assist- 
ed by  local  talent,  played  an  exhibi- 
tion game  at  Brea  for  the  charity 
fund  of  the  Anaheim  Elks. 

Forrest  B.  "Bus"  Callan,  now  of 
Anaheim,  caught  for  Walter  Johnson. 
On  the  other  team  was  the  great  Babe 
Ruth.  Callan  recalls  that  the  crowd 
was  eager  to  see  the  "King  of  Swat" 
perform  at  the  plate.  Johnson  acco- 
modated   by    twice    throwing    easy 
pitches    which    Ruth    smacked    for- 
homeruns.  On  Ruth's  third  time  td 
bat  Johnson  "bore  down"  and  muchi 
to  Babe's  disgust  he  was  called  out! 
by  Umpire  "Beans"  Reardon.

EARS  AGO  as  a  half-way  point 
between  Escondido  and  San 
Diego,  Poway  was  a  wild  and  wooley 
stopping  place  for  teamsters  hauling 
hay  and  farm  products  to  San  Diego. 
Gambling,  drinking  and  boisterous 
brawls  were  commonplace  at  night 
and  it  is  said  that  the  teamsters  fre- 
quently even  bet  their  loads  of  hay 
and  their  clothes  on  the  outcome  of 
card  games. 

The  name,  Poway,  is  derived  from 
a  rancho  of  the  Mission  San  Diego 
mentioned  in  1828  as  Paquay  which 
according  to  historian  E.  D.  French 
means  "end  of  the  valley." 

The  original  Poway  Land  grant 
was  given  to  Corporal  Rosario  Agui- 
lar  by  Governor  Juan  B.  Alvarado 
in  1839.  The  corporal  for  some  rea- 
son forfeited  his  rights  and  in  1858 
the  Rancho  San  Bernardo  was  con- 
firmed to  the  ownership  of  Maria 
A  n  t  o  n  i  a  Snook.  This  contained 
17,763  acres. 

During  the  land  boom  of  the 
1880's  townsites  were  laid  out  for 
Poway,  (May  7,  1888),  and  Pier- 
mont  but  with  the  end  of  the  boom, 
the  towns  died  out,  the  subdivided 
land  reverted  to  farms,  and  the  popu- 
jlation  of  the  whole  Poway  district 
shrank  to  near  the  vanishing  point. 
i  A  few  years  ago,  Poway  took  on 
jnew  life,  and  from  a  community  of  a 
ifew  hundred  persons  has  grown  to  a 
'city  of  6,000  to  7,000  inhabitants. 
I  Several  large  tracts  account  for  most

plies  at  large  local  shopping  centers. 
A  big  new  post  office  is  being  erect- 
ed. Only  a  few  years  ago  the  post 
office  occupied  a  part  of  a  small  gro- 
cery operated  by  Mrs.  Marvel  Taunt, 
the  efficient  postmistress.  Schools  are 
springing  up  including  a  large  high 
school. 

Time  was  when  the  valley  was 
amply  watered  by  wells  and  springs. 
The  ranches  in  later  years  drew 
heavily  on  the  water  supply  and 
many  of  the  wells  and  springs  once 
thought  to  be  unfailing  went  dry.  A 
municipal  water  district  now  serves 
the  area.  However  in  the  marshy 
spot  just  east  of  Pomerado  Ranch 
water  still  comes  to  the  surface. 

There  are  many  evidences  that 
Indians  once  inhabited  the  Poway 
region.  Near  Los  Pehasquitos  Creek 
have  been  found  numerous  arrow- 
heads, potsherds,  metates  (Indian 
grinding  bowls)  and  manos  (flatten- 
ed cobblestones).  On  the  Homer 
Williams  ranch  may  be  seen  a  rock 
showing  the  Indian  grinder  holes. 
Maze  designs  painted  by  prehistoric 
Indians  are  to  be  found  on  the  east- 


•  ABOUT  THE  AUTHOR 

Mr.  Rush  is  the  editor  of  the 
Southern  California  Rancher 
and  is  the  author  of  several 
books  including  a  "History  of 
the  Calif ornias." 


em  face  of  large  boulders.  These 
famous  pictographs  are  no  doubt  re- 
ligious in  character  and  may  have 
some  bearing  upon  the  springs  that 
once  flowed  near  by. 

Just  north  of  Poway  are  several 
large  real  estate  developments.  In  the 
old  Rancho  del  Sueno  there  are  a  few 
ruins  of  an  adobe  house  built  by  the 
Mitchell  family  in  or  about  1835. 
Later  this  ranch  was  known  as  the 
Pomorado  Ranch  of  the  Yamell  fam- 
ily. Then  it  was  owned  by  D.  E.  Llew- 
eUen,  who  sold  it  to  R.  H.  Whitten  of 
Los  Angeles.  He  developed  it  into  a 
beautiful  modern  cattle  ranch.  In 
1955  he  sold  1,000  acres  to  Howard 
G.  Smits  of  the  Pacific  Iron  and  Steel 
Co.  Mr.  Smits  worked  a  miracle  on 
the  acreage,  subdividing  it  into  many 
country  estates,  each  with  a  beautiful 
home  and  small  avocado  grove,  and 
upon  the  passing  of  Mr.  Whitten  in 
I960  Smits  purchased  the  balance  of 
the  Whitten  Ranch.  "Green  Valley" 
is  the  appropriate  name  for  this  de- 
velopment. 

Mr.  Smits  also  bought  some  acre- 
age from  the  Val  Verde  Ranch,  own- 
ed by  Dr.  W.  W.  Wickett  of  Fullerton 
and  Homer  Williams.  Several  hun- 
dred acres  of  Val  Verde  were  also 
subdivided  for  homes  by  the  owners, 
still  leaving  a  working  ranch  around 
the  original  ranch  house.  Many  beau- 
tiful country  homes  have  been  built 
in  Val  Verde. 

So  1962  sees  Poway  still  growing 
in  true  California  style.

On  April  8  it  was  my  pleasure  to 
join  our  many  Sisters  at  the  Beverly 
Hilton  Hotel  for  the  annual  Childrens 
Foundation  Bruncheon.  It  was  one  of 
the  most  beautiful  and  impressive 
affairs  it  has  been  my  privilege  to  at- 
tend. Our  Past  Grand  President  Jewel 
McSweeney  once  again  ably  presented 
our  Childrens  Foundation  program  to

and  their  friends  in  attendance.  Our 
compliments  to  all  who  had  a  hand  in 
this  outstanding  event. 

It  was  a  wonderful  week-end  for 
on  Monday,  April  9,  I  was  privileged 
to  present  to  the  Dodgers'  Stadium 
our  Star  Spangled  Banner  which  had 
first  been  unfurled  over  our  Nation's 
Capitol.  Our  sincere  thanks  to 
Senaida  Sullivan,  a  member  of  Bever-

Recently  we  saw  this  notice  on  a  coun-

Two  weeks  later  the  "Ad"  read:

A  month  later  we  drove  by  the  same

State  Chairman  of  Press 


I^NE  OF  THE  greatest  honors 
ever  bestowed  on  our  beloved 
Order  is  the  invitation  to  become  a 
member  of  the  Freedoms  Founda- 
tion." Grand  President  AHce  D.  Shea 
has  been  saying  this  to  the  parlors  as 
she  makes  her  official  visit  all  over 
the  state.  When  she  made  the  an- 
nouncem:  nt  following  her  trip  to 
Valley  Forge  in  December  where 
she  served  as  an  award  juror,  she  also 
asked  that  the  parlors  contribute  $25 
each  so  that  Native  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West  would  be  inscribed  in 
bronze  as  a  patron  on  the  Patriots 
Wall  of  the  proposed  American  Free- 
doms Center.  The  response  was  so 


Valley  Forge.  The  goal  of  $1,000 
soon  was  reached.  However,  the  end 
is  not  yet.  Each  parlor  contributing 
the  required  $25  will  be  entered  in 
the  Patriots  Ledger. 

Having  had  the  privilege  of  looking 
over  the  literature  and  correspond- 
ence Alice  brought  back  with  her,  I 
was  impressed  with  two  things:  First, 
Alice  made  many  lasting  friendships 
for  herself  and  for  the  Native  Daugh- 
ters. Second,  ours  is  the  only  exclu- 
sively state-wide  organization  invited 
to  join  and  be  listed  on  the  wall  and 
in  the  ledger.

next  column  is  filled  with  national 
presidents  of  American  Gold  Star

TERS OF  THE  GOLDEN  WEST; 
Navy  League  of  the  United  States, 
Quota  Club  International,  Sons  of  the 
American  Revolution  and  Veterans 
of  Foreign  Wars. 

During  her  year  as  Grand  Presi- 
dent, Elmarie  Dyke  was  invited  to 
serve  as  a  juror,  the  first  time  this 
honor  had  been  given  one  of  our 
grand  presidents.  Since  she  served 
so  ably,  she  was  asked  to  contact 
Alice. 

So  that  all  our  members  may  know 
just  what  the  Freedoms  Foundation 
is  we  shall  quote  from  a  foreward  in 
the  publication  listing  awards  and 
jurors:  "One  hundred  and  eighty-four 
years  ago,  a  ragged  but  inspired 
group  of  men,  dedicated  to  the  cause 
of  freedom,  marched  out  of  Valley 
Forge,  Pennsylvania,  on  a  mission 
destined  ultimately  to  affect  the  lives 
of  nearly  every  person  on  earth.  To 
these  men  this  valley  represented  .  .  . 
the  confirmation  of  the  belief  that 
their  suffering  would  be  worth  the 
goal  of  freedom.  .  .  .  Today,  from  this 
hallowed  ground  a  new  struggle  is 
being  waged;  a  struggle  to  preserve 
for  future  generations  the  priceless 
freedoms  won  by  Washington  and  his 
men  which  are  now  in  danger.

ESCHSCHOLTZIA  PARLOR 

A  party  was  enjoyed  by  Esch- 
scholtzia  Parlor  members  after  the 
March  20  meeting.  Secret  pals  were 
revealed  and  new  names  drawn.  Re- 
freshments were  served  from  a  long 
table  decorated  in  keeping  with  the 
St.  Patrick's  motif.  Eleanor  Hen- 
dricks and  Frances  Smith  served  on 
the  decorating  committee;  Amy  Der- 
ham,  Ellen  Skillan,  Thelma  McNeil 
and  Colleen  McCallister  on  the  re- 
freshment committee. 

President  Jessie  Burcell  had  charge 
of  the  meeting.  A  cooked  food  sale 
was  held  in  April. 


FREEDOMS  FOUNDATION  .  .  . 
(Continued  from  Page  7) 

"The  doors  of  Freedoms  Founda- 
tion first  opened  in  the  summer  of 
1949,  marking  the  beginning  of  a 
unique  but  successful  experiment  of 
alerting  Americans  to  the  peril  to 
freedom.  Valley  Forge  was  chosen 
as  a  location  for  Freedoms  Founda- 
tion because  America  faces  today  a 
crisis  every  bit  as  great  as  faced  by 
the  early  patriots.  .  .  .  Today  Valley 
Forge  is  the  rallying  ground  for 
Americans  to  preserve  those  ideals 
and  God-given  rights  against  Com- 
munism and  any  other  'ism'  now 
working  to  curtail  the  freedoms  that 
have  made  our  country  great. 

"Under  its  charter  Freedoms 
Foundation  exists:  'To  create  and 
build  an  understanding  of  the  spirit 
and  philosophy  of  the  Constitution 
and  the  Bill  of  Rights  and  of  our

economic  freedoms  inherent  in  them.

the  grand  president  on  her  official 
visit.  The  dinner  was  held  at  Paine's 
Catering  in  Hollister. 

The  dining  room  of  the  meeting 
hall  had  the  appearance  of  a  spring 
garden  with  its  array  of  flowering 
trees  in  full  bloom.  Present  were  120 
members  and  guests.  Invocation  was 
given  by  Harriet  Gamer.  Copa  de 
Oro  Oflficers  were  identified  by  tiny 
blue  anchors  pinned  on  formal  gowns 
and  San  Juan  Bautista  officers  wore 
white  anchors. 

President  Hazel  de  Roza  and  offi- 
cers of  San  Juan  Bautista  conducted 
Parlor  ritual  and  escort  duties.  Lil- 
lian Johnson,  president  of  Copa  de 


Oro  and  her  officers  conducted  the 
initiation  ceremonies  for  the  three 
new  members  for  San  Juan  Bautista 
and  five  for  Copa  de  Oro.  A  sailor 
guard  of  two  Copa  de  Oro  members 
escorted  the  grand  president  to  her 
seat  of  honor.  Two  duffle  bags  hold- 
ing gifts  and  reports  from  the  two 
parlors  were  presented  to  Mrs.  Shea 
who  responded  with  an  inspiring 
message  concerning  the  various  ac- 
tivities and  historical  events  of  the 
Order. 

The  delightful  evening  closed  with 
the  serving  of  home  made  cookies  and 
coffee. 

JAMES  LICK  PARLOR 

President  Ann  Shaughnessy  and 
this  term's  oflficers  are  making  plans 
for  the  remainder  of  1962.  With  the 
close  of  the  Lenten  season  James 
Lick  will  sponsor  a  Luncheon  Whist 
at  the  Spreckels-Russell  dairy  on

Several  of  the  members  attended

The  April  meeting  was  followed 
by  an  Easter  egg  coloring  contest. 
The  evening  closed  with  refreshments 
served  by  Jaredna  Johnson  and  Alice 
Stahl.  All  of  the  new  members  of 
1961  are  in  office  and  are  doing  fine 
work. 

Jaredna  Johnson  and  Winifred 
Loomis  attended  the  San  Mateo 
County  deputy  luncheon  on  the  last 
Saturday  of  March.  It  was  a  very 
worthwhile  meeting.

AULA  PIONEER  TEA 

The  annual  Pioneer  Tea  given  by 
Atila  No.  321  for  the  purpose  of 
honoring  the  old  time  residents  of  the 
community  was  held  this  year  on  Sun- 
day, March  25,  from  2  to  4  p.  m.,  in 
the  LO.O.F.  Hall  in  Delano  and  was 
attended  by  more  than  100  guests.  In 
addition  to  visiting  and  reminiscing 
with  old  friends  and  neighbors,  an 
enjoyable  program  was  provided  for 
the  guests  during  the  afternoon.  Mrs. 
Harold  Olson,  president  of  Alila  Par- 
lor, gave  the  address  of  welcome  and 
acting  as  Master  of  Ceremonies  for 
the  occasion  was  the  president's  hus- 
band, Harold  Olson.  Several  vocal 
solos,  piano  numbers  and  readings 
were  the  highlights  of  the  program. 

Old  pictures,  clippings  and  articles 
on  display  added  to  the  amusement 
and  pleasure  of  those  present  and 
brought  back  to  them  many  happy 
recollections  of  the  past.  Members  of 
the  Parlor  poured  throughout  the 
afternoon  from  attractively  arranged 
tea  tables,  laden  with  delicious  home- 
made cookies  and  nutbreads.  Mrs. 
William  Shallies,  general  chairman, 
was  assisted  by  all  of  the  members  of 
the  Parlor  in  making  the  affair  a  suc- 
cess.

A  song  of  hope,  a  fervent  prayer, 
A  noble  dream  and  tender  care, 
A  light  of  truth  that  makes  me  free 
All  this  my  mother  is  to  me. 

An  eager  heart  my  joys  to  share; 
A  valiant  soul  to  bid  me  dare 
The  shining  heights  her  eyes  can  see; 
All  this  my  mother  is  to  me. 

The  one  who  loves  with  all  her  heart. 
The  one  who  always  does  her  part 
To  help  and  guide  so  patiently  — 
All  this  my  mother  is  to  me.

ANNIVERSARY 

On  April  9  members  of  San  Diego 
No.  208  gave  a  reception  for  their 
Past  Presidents  commemorating  their 
42nd  anniversary.  The  parlor  was 
organized  April  10,  1915.  There 
were  14  past  presidents  present  in- 
cluding charter  member  Irma  A. 
Heilbron,  SDDGP  Dorothy  Cheney 
of  District  38,  and  State  Chairman  of 
Conservation,  Dorothy  Ritter.  Also 
present  was  DGP  Metra  Kurtz  of 
Ilia  M.  Knox  No.  320.  Mrs.  Margaret 
Helton,  chairman  of  the  evening, 
showed  some  beautiful  pictures  of 
early  and  present  California.  Deli- 
cious refreshments  were  served  and 
the  friendly  atmosphere  of  the  social 
hour  was  enjoyed  by  all. 


SANTA  MARIA  PARLOR 

"Springtime  Fiesta"  was  the  theme 
chosen  for  the  Childrens  Foundation 
enchilada  dinner  held  by  the  Santa 
Maria  Parlor  at  the  D.  E.  S.  Hall. 

Charity  Righetti,  chairman  of  the 
Childrens  Foundation  was  general 
chairman  for  the  evening.  Barbara 
Gardener  was  co-chairman.  Assisting 
with  dinner  were:  Mmes.  Simmons, 
Hoback,  Howard,  Sumner,  Foster 
and  Begg.  Ida  Hawkins  did  the  table

jchildren  are  greater  than  their  ability 
ito  finance.

jEdith  Stanley,  was  won  by  Mrs.  Isa- 
jbella  Wineman. 

ImAY,  1962 


ARY  Emily  Foy  was  born  July 
^13,  1862  on  the  site  of  the 
present  Union  Station,  Los  Angeles. 
Later  the  family  moved  out  to  the 
"suburbs"  and  established  a  home 
at  7th  and  Grasshopper  Streets  (the 
present  site  of  the  Statler  Hilton  Ho- 
tel). Her  grandfather.  Dr.  Obed 
Macy,  an  early  settler,  arrived  in  San 
Gabriel  in  1851  and  her  mother,  Lu- 
cinda,  attended  the  first  Los  Angeles 
Public  School  in  1855  on  the  site 
where  the  Mirror  Building  now 
stands.  Her  father,  Samuel  Calvert 
Foy,  was  a  merchant  specializing  in 
saddlery.  Miss  Foy  is  thus  connected 
with  the  beginning  of  Los  Angeles 
city's  and  county's  American  era.

ni President  of  Los  Angeles  High 
School;  Portrait  of  Mary  E.  Foy; 
Barbara  Mar  ill,  Student  Body  Presi- 
dent of  Los  Angeles  High  School. 
The  portrait  of  Miss  Foy  is  by  the 
well-known  artist  Orpha  Klinker. 

She  was  graduated  from  Los  An- 
geles High  School  in  1879  as  vali- 
dictorian  of  its  famous  "Calico  Class" 
and  was  the  first  and  only  woman 
president  of  the  school's  Alumni  As- 
sociation. After  graduation,  she  be- 
came the  first  woman  city  librarian 
of  Los  Angeles.  She  graduated  from 
State  Normal  School  and  became 
a  teacher  and  principal  in  the  Los 
Angeles  Schools.  When  Miss  Foy  was 
librarian,  the  structure  was  at  Main 
and  Temple  Streets  where  the  Federal 
Building  now  stands.  It  was  on  the 


second  floor  above  a  saloon.  Miss 
Foy  often  recalled  that  saloon 
patrons,  in  an  argument,  would  climb 
the  stairs  of  the  library  to  settle  a 
point. 

She  was  active  in  Californiana 
Parlor  No.  247  NDGW,  the  Library 
Association,  Women's  Press  Club, 
Historical  Society  of  Southern  Cali- 
fornia, First-Century  Families,  Na- 
tional Society  Magna  Charta  Dames 
DAR  and  many  other  organizations. 
In  1957  she  was  the  inspiration  for 
the  United  States  postage  stamp 
honoring  the  teachers  of  America.  In 
1950  a  branch  post  office  at  Figueroa 
and  8th  Streets,  was  named  "Foy 
Station."  In  1959,  on  her  birthday, 
she  was  honored  by  the  Los  Angeles 
City  Council  as  "Miss  Los  Angeles" 
and  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors  as 
■'Miss  California."  She  was  the  oldest 
living  member  of  St.  Paul's  Episco- 
pal Church. 

To  honor  Miss  Mary  E.  Foy's 
100th  birthday,  which  would  have 
been  July  12,  1962  had  she  lived, 
the  Alumni  Association  of  the  Los 
Angeles  High  School  had  an  oil 
portrait  by  Orpha  Klinker  made  of 
Miss  Foy  which  was  invited  to  hang 
in  the  Woodrow  Wilson  Memorial 
in  Washington  D.  C.  to  further  honor 
her  part  in  the  victorious  campaigns 
of  1912  and  1916  in  which  she  play- 
ed a  vigorous  part  in  California. 
After  seeing  a  copy  of  this  portrait, 
Mrs.  John  Kennedy  said,  "This  is  a 
remarkable  portrait  of  a  remarkable 
woman.  It  would  be  appropriate  to 
have  it  exhibited  in  the  Wilson  Me- 
morial." 

Miss  Foy  was  always  an  active  and 
devoted  member  of  Californiana  Par- 
lor. When  news  came  of  her  passing, 
February  18,  Blanche  Oechsel  of  the 
Parlor,  as  chairman,  organized  an 
Honor  Guard  for  the  day.  Those  who 
assisted  were  Frances  Huska,  Fran- 
ces Burnett,  Mona  Conner,  Lena 
Olson,  Florence  Irish,  Titanic  Under- 
wood and  Margaret  Kerr.  Dressed  in 
white  with  gold  corsages,  they  es- 
corted the  casket  up  the  city  hall 
steps  and  stood  on  either  side  on 
guard  for  ten  minutes  each.  They  es- 
corted the  casket  into  the  cathedral

Cnker  J\,  Sullivan 


^y.  Colter  3ortna 


"II^STHER  R.  Sullivan  was  bom  in 
'^\  Greenhorn.  Nevada  County,  on 
September  26,  1877,  the  daughter  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  L.  Sullivan,  pio- 
neers. She  was  brought  to  Marysville 
when  six  months  of  age  and  was  a 
resident  up  to  the  time  of  her  death 
February  13,  1962  after  a  prolonged 
illness. 


Marysville  No.  162  will  always 
cherish  the  memory  of  Esther  Sulli- 
van for  it  was  under  her  surveillance 
that  it  came  into  existence  on  July  10, 
1908  and  its  aims  and  interests  were 
always  foremost  in  her  mind.  While 
serving  her  local  parlor,  her  out- 
standing talent  for  leadership  was 
recognized  and  she  became  Grand 
President  in  June,  1930.  She  held 
numerous  State  Chairmanships,  a- 
mong  these.  Chairman  of  History 
and  Landmarks.  Her  knowledge  on 
this  subject  was  unlimited.  She  work- 
ed long  and  arduously  for  a  museum 
for  Yuba  County  and  lived  to  realize 
her  dream  in  the  Mary  Aaron  Mu- 
seum for  which  she  was  instrumental 
in  laying  much  of  the  ground  work. 
Another  of  Miss  Sullivan's  "Pet  pro- 
jects" was  the  Homeless  Children's 
Foundation  of  which  she  was  a  mem- 
ber for  many  years,  and  was  instru- 

PAGE  12 


mental  in  placing  forty  children  in 
suitable  homes  in  the  Marysville 
area  alone. 

Among  the  parlors  which  she  in- 
stituted are  Far  West  in  1921  and 
South  Butte  in  1923.  She  was  a  fluent 
speaker  and  author  of  numerous 
memorial  services  and  ceremonies 
still  used  by  the  Native  Daughters 
throughout  the  State. 

She  was  a  beloved  school  teacher 
in  Marysville  Elementary  School 
District  for  38  years  and  retired  in 
1944.  For  her  outstanding  service  to 
youth  and  her  community  she  was 
awarded  an  honorary  Life  Member- 
ship in  the  Parent  and  Teachers 
Association  in  1958.  She  was  an  ac- 
tive member  in  the  Marysville  Art 
Club  and  served  as  Chairman  of 
History  and  Landmarks  for  the 
Northern  District  Federation  of  Wo- 
men's Clubs.  Ever  loyal  to  her  church, 
she  was  Past  State  Regent  of  the 
Catholic  Daughters  of  America. 

The  Native  Daughters  of  the  Gold- 
en West,  and  all  with  whom  she 
came  in  contact  have  lost  a  friend 
and  the  community,  a  loyal  and  re- 
spected citizen.  Esther  Sullivan  was 
an  inspiration  to  all  who  knew  her 
and  her  deeds  and  numerous  achieve- 
ments will  not  soon  be  forgotten. 

On  February  15,  1962  with  mem- 
bers of  the  family  and  friends,  Marys- 
ville Parlor  held  memorial  services 
for  its  departed  sister.  Each  one 
present  shared  with  humility,  the  rev- 
erence and  the  beauty  that  our  sister 
leaves  with  us  as  she  makes  her  de- 
parture into  a  greater  realm.  As  in  the 
last  lines  taken  from  the  beautiful 
eulogy  written  and  presented  by  PGP 
Jewel  McSweeney,  long  time  friend 
of  the  deceased,  we  bid  our  farewell : 

"As  the  sun  fades  into  the  west  and 
the  warmth  and  beauty  of  her  city  of 
Marysville  encircles  her  resting  place, 
we  whisper. 

Sleep   dear   Esther,    sleep, 
Your  deeds  will  live  on." 


Miss  Sullivan  is  survived  by  a 
sister,  Mrs.  Eugene  M.  Boyd  Sr.  of 
Yuba  City;  a  brother,  Leo  L.  Sullivan 
of  Billings,  Montana  and  the  follow- 
ing nieces  and  nephews,  Mrs.  Charles 
Mathews  and  Mrs.  George  Prindi- 
ville,  both  of  Marysville;  Mrs.  Will- 
iam McHugh,  Yuba  City;  Robert 
Sullivan,  Fresno;  Jack  Sullivan  and 
Eugene  Boyd,  Jr.,  Yuba  City.

DISNEYLAND  .  .  . 
(Continued  from  Page  3) 

Train  of  1890  vintage  which,  along 
with  two  other  Sante  Fe  and  Disney- 
land trams  of  similar  antiquity,  tra- 
vel around  the  Park  and  through  the 
world's  largest  diorama,  Disneyland's 
Grand  Canyon;  and  the  Western 
Mine  Train  trip  through  Nature's 
Wonderland,  where  204  animated 
animals,  birds,  and  reptiles  "perform" 
for  passengers,  their  life-like  move- 
ments set  in  motion  by  electrical- 
mechanical  impulses  as  the  train  ap- 
proaches. 

There  are  adventures  based  on  fa- 
mous historical  subjects  —  the  1790 
sailing  ship  "Columbia"  in  Frontier- 
land,  full-size  exact  replica  of  the 
first  American  vessel  to  circumnavi- 


gate the  globe;  Tom  Sawyer  Island, 
bringng  to  life  the  days  of  Mark 
Twain's  Mississippi  for  every  young 
adventurer;  or  even  the  double- 
decked  buses  on  Main  Street,  helping 
to  preserve  the  days  of  Grandfather's 
youth  for  nostalgic  parents  and  grand- 
parents and  wide-eyed  youngsters. 
Walt's  faith  in  the  creation  of  a 
"magic  kingdom"  which  the  entire 
family  can  enjoy  —  together  —  has 
been  proven  accurate  by  more  than 
26  million  visitors.  They  have  come 
to  Disneyland  from  all  50  states  in 
America  and  more  than  100  foreign 
nations. 

In  the  future,  as  Disneyland  un- 
veils still  more  unique  adventures, 
they  will  continue  to  be  the  type  in 
which  the  visitor  becomes  an  active 
participant  —  boarding  an  imaginary 
"time  machine"  to  leave  the  cares  of 
everyday  outside  Disneyland's  gates; 
to  become  a  big-game  hunter  in  the 
jungles  of  Adventureland,  or  the  wilds 
of  the  primeval  American  West;  a

will  never  be  completed  as  long  as 
there  is  imagination  left  in  the  world."

her  message.

were  organized.  The  members  are 
looking  forward  to  their  75th  birth- 
day anniversary  on  Saturday  evening, 
May  5,  at  8  p.  m.  in  the  Masonic 
Hall  in  Placerville,  and  also  to  the 
presentation  and  dedication  of  the 
plaque  at  the  Ivy  House  on  Sunday 
afternoon.  May  6  at  2  p.  m.  The 
members  have  been  very  busy  with 
the  many  plans  that  are  underway  for 
this  party. 

On  March  7  they  observed  their 
annual  Arbor  Day  program  and 
luncheon.  This  year  a  Liquidamber 
tree  was  presented  to  the  El  Dorado 
County  Fair  Manager,  Warren  Jewett, 
and  planted  in  front  of  the  main 
building  at  the  fair  grounds  in  honor 
of  Marguerite  Parlor's  diamond  ju- 
bilee year.  After  the  tree  planting, 
members  went  to  the  Masonic  Hall 
in  Placerville  and  spent  the  day 
making  flowers.  At  noon  the  twenty 
members  present  enjoyed  a  luncheon 
served  by  the  president,  Mrs.  Clara 
Schieber. 

On  March  21,  at  our  last  regular 
meeting,  all  committees  made  reports 
pertaining  to  the  May  5  party.  Mrs. 
Mildred  LeFevre,  general  chairman, 
reported  that  invitations  would  be 
mailed  by  April  1.  Mrs.  Lora  Reese, 
flower  committee  chairman,  asked 
that  all  members  try  to  work  on 
April  4,  either  in  the  afternoon  or 
evening,  at  the  hall.  Mrs.  Claire 
Freeman,  history  and  landmarks 
chairman,  reported  the  State  Beaches 
and  Parks  had  rejected  our  project 
of  marking  the  Ivy  House  and  that 
jail  material  was  now  turned  over  to 
iMr.  John  Hassler,  El  Dorado  County 
jHistorical  Society  president  and  a 
imember  of  the  Placerville  Parlor

A.  V.  Cox,  early  Anaheim  judge, 
had  an  eye  for  economy.  According 
to  an  entry  in  his  court  docket,  dated 
March  15,  1889,  one  John  Kelley 
was  brought  before  him  on  a  drunk 
charge. 

Kelley  pleaded  guilty  and  at  the 
same  time  explained  that  he  was 
without  funds.  Judge  Cox  made  the 
following  judgment,  "Defendant 
having  no  money  to  pay  a  fine  with 
and  it  being  less  expensive  to  the 
City  to  discharge  him  than  to  keep 
him  in  prison  and  after  a  reprimand 
by  the  Court  and  he  agreeing  to  im- 
mediately leave  town  and  not  com- 
mit the  offense  again  he  was  by  the 
Court  discharged." 

On  the  following  twentieth  day  of 
June,  Edward  Fox  was  arraigned 
on  an  intoxication  complaint.  He  al- 
so admitted  his  guilt  and  likewise 
proved  to  be  penniless.  With  his 
customary  sagacity.  Judge  Cox  wrote 
in  his  docket:  "Defendant  plead  the 
Court  to  discharge  him  as  he  had  no 
money  to  pay  the  fine  with  and  it 
appeared  to  the  court  that  it  would 
create  expense  to  the  City  to  hold  the 
prisoner  to  labor  on  the  streets  and 
in  view  of  all  the  facts  in  the  case  it 
was  by  the  Court  ordered  and  ad- 
judged that  the  prisoner  be  dis- 
charged."

l?|?jyHROUGH     THE     EFFORTS     of     the 

J^  members  of  Argonaut  Parlor  No. 
8,  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West, 
Oroville,  a  sister  lodge  was  instituted 
in  Oroville,  California  on  May  3, 
1911,  by  SDDGP  Emma  Gett  of 
Sacramento. 

The  parlor  was  organized  with  a 
charter  membership  of  fifty-six  whose 
names  are  as  follows:  Florence  E. 
Asher,  Hattie  Braden,  Irene  L.  Bald- 
win, Hannah  V.  Breslauer,  Freder- 
ika  Braden,  Maude  M.  Campbell, 
Alice  E.  Curran,  Florence  Danforth, 
Emma    Danforth,    Hazel    Danforth, 


Eva  Hengy  Wilkie,  Mary  McDermott 
Whiting,  Harriett  C.  Laswell,  Blanche 
McLean  Watters,  Clara  A.  Gale  and 
Bertha  Jacoby. 

At  present  there  are  but  six  of  the 
charter  members  in  the  Parlor: 
Florence  Danforth-Boyle,  Ruby  Sage- 
Mekellos,  Mae  Belle  Smith-Bills,  An- 
nie Schumacher,  Elice  Smith  Lavoy 
and  June  Sparks-Post.  The  first  four 
named  have  had  continuous  mem- 
bership for  50  years  and  received 
their  50  year  emblems.  The  other  two 
were  gone  for  several  years  and  then 
rejoined.

The  name  of  Gold  of  Ophir  Parlor 
was  selected  as  it  was  a  name  repre- 
sentative of  the  old  pioneer  mining 
days  of  this  section  of  the  State,  and 
also  the  original  name  of  Orovile, 
Ophir  City. 

Mrs.  May  S.  Jones  was  made  the 
first  President,  in  compliment  to  her 
husband,  A.  F.  Jones,  a  Past  Grand 
President   of   the   Native   Sons. 

In  1912  the  parlor  took  part  in 
its  first  community  project  with  the 
entry  of  a  decorated  automobile. 
The  car  was  covered  with  paper 
poppies  on  a  background  of  cotton. 
Four  members  dressed  in  white  and 
carrying  white  linen  parasols  rode 
with  the  driver. 

In  1912  a  ledger  from  an  early 
day  establishment  of  the  49'er  days 


was  presented  to  the  Parlor.  By  1914 
approximately  40  mementos  of  the 
past  had  been  contributed.  Through 
the  courtesies  of  the  trustees  of  the 
Oroville  Public  Library  our  parlor  in- 
stalled a  relic  cabinet  therein,  and  on 
the  evening  of  September  16,  1914, 
the  cabinet  was  dedicated  to  the  pio- 
neers. During  the  ceremonies  the  fol- 
lowing poem,  composed  by  Mrs. 
Maggie  Dixie  Bowers,  was  read: 

TO  THE  PIONEERS 

These    simple    relics    to    their    memory  — 
since  they  held  them  dear, 
Perchance  as  finding  here  unconsciously 
Some  image  of  themselves  —  we  dedicate. 
We  dedicate,  we  consecrate  these  to  our 
Pioneers 
And   indeed   they   seem   to   us   more   dear 
as  time  goes  on. 
We   shall    always    cherish    the   memory 
of  our  beloved  Pioneers 
Many  have  gone  to  their  last  Home 
Crowned    with    the    glory    of    their 
wondrous  works. 
Only   humbly  can  we  dedicate   this  home 
for  memories  of  their  day. 
The   love   of  loyal   sons   and   daughters 
Will   ever  be   for  the  mighty   builders  of 
our  state. 
May   these   simple    relics   long   tell   the 
story  of  their  wondrous  deeds, 
And  keep  their  memory  ever  bright 
In  the  eyes  of  all  the  world. 

Soon  Argonaut  Parlor  N.  S.  G.  W. 
joined  with  the  Parlor  and  projects 
for  raising  funds  was  started  for  a 
relic  building.  In  1930  the  two  parlors 
organized  the  Butte  County  Pioneer 
Memorial  Association  and  in  May, 
1932  a  Relic  Building  was  dedicated.

W  N  Biblical  times,  Solomon  ob- 
^  tained  gems  and  gold  from 
Ophir,  the  ancient  gold  land  mention- 
ed in  the  Old  Testament.  In  the  early 
days  Oroville  was  known  as  Ophir 
City.  It  was  aptly  named  for  from  the 
diamond  mines  in  near-by  Chero- 
kee, several  thousand  dollars  worth  of 
jewels  were  taken  from  a  single  hill. 
Three  hundred  diamonds  were  found 
there.  At  no  other  place  in  North 
America  has  an  equal  number  been 
discovered.  Gold  was  found  in  abun- 
dance. The  early  miners  around 
Ophir  City  found  "rich  diggin's."  Be- 
ginning in  the  late  50's  and  continu- 
ing through  the  60's  and  70's  hy- 


draulic mining  was  the  chief  activity 
of  Oroville  and  the  surrounding  coun- 
try. Canals,  ditches,  old  flumes  and 
deeply  scarred  hills  still  bear  evi- 
dence. In  more  recent  years,  the 
development  of  the  gold  dredging  in- 
dustry originated  in  Oroville  and  from 
there  spread  around  the  world. 

Though  Colonel  John  Tatam  and 
the  early  miners  had  called  their 
mining  camp  Ophir  City,  by  1855 
when  the  post  office  was  established 
it  was  renamed  Oroville  (gold-town) 
and  its  importance  had  greatly  in- 
creased. By  popular  election  it  was 
chosen  the  county  seat  of  Butte 
county  over  Bidwell  Bar,  thereupon 


Oroville  became  an  important  stage 
center.  An  article  in  the  North  Cali- 
jornian  at  that  time  stated:  "Coaches 
are  rattling  through  our  streets  at  all 
hours  of  day  and  night.  We  have  ten, 
semi-daily,  connecting  this  place  with 
different  parts  of  the  world."  On 
February  26,  1857,  the  "Gazelle" 
came  up  the  Feather  River  to  Oro- 
ville. It  was  the  first  river  steamer  to 
penetrate  that  far. 

Oroville,  situated  as  it  is  in  Butte 
County,  one  of  the  first  27  counties 
of  California,  is  closely  identified 
with  the  history  of  the  Old  West.

Broderick,  James  G.  Fair  and  Hu- 
bert Howe  Bancroft  were  familiar 
figures  on  the  streets.  To  its  theatre 
came  Lotta  Crabtree.  Among  its  well 
known  citizens  was  Ruel  C.  Gridley 
who  became  famous  during  the  Civil 
War  in  raising  money  for  the  U.  S. 
Sanitary  Commission,  the  Red  Cross 
of  those  days.  Judge  Charles  F.  Lott 
erected  a  large  residence  in  pioneer 
Oroville.  Believing  that  the  town  was 
destined  to  an  ephemeral  existence, 
his  contemporaries  called  his  house 
"Lott's  Folly."  One  of  early  Oroville's 
most  distinguished  residents  was 
George  C.  Perkins  who  became  a 
U.  S.  Senator  and  later  served  as 
governor  of  California.  Albert  Eu- 
gene Boynton  who  was  bom  in  Oro- 
ville in  1875  became  one  of  the 
State's  greatest  legislators.  He  was  the 
author  of  the  Workmen's  Compensa- 
tion Act,  the  Teachers'  Pension  bill, 
the  Net  Container  bill  and  the  Non- 
partisan Judicary  Act  which  took  all 
judical  offices  out  of  party  politics. 

Many  of  the  original  landmarks 
remain.  Oroville's  Chinatown,  once 
said  to  have  housed  10,000  Chinese, 
IS  one  of  the  few  typical  Chinatowns 
remaining  in  California.  The  Chinese 
Temple  with  its  rare  collection  of 
tapestries  and  religious  articles  stands 
an  Broderick  and  Elma  Streets.  It 
is  composed  of  four  shrines  and  is 
iaid  to  be  the  largest  outside  China. 

Miner's  Alley  was  the  early  miners 
'recreation  center"  with  its  saloons, 
kambling  halls  and  houses  of  fancy 
tadies.  It  is  now  being  architecturally 
restored  with  brick  facades,  and 
jA'rought  iron  grill  work.  Its  old  iron 

iJUNE,  1962 


doors  have  been  painted.  Iron  arches 

have  been  placed  at  both  entrances. 

Still  may  be  seen  the  old  Chinese 


allowed  to  pass  over  free  of  charge. 
In  1883  the  bridge  was  turned  over 
to  Butte  County,  and  from  that  time 
on  it  was  used  as  a  free  bridge. 

The  Pioneer  Relic  Building  spon- 
sored by  Gold  of  Ophir  Parlor  No. 
190,  NDGW  and  Argonaut  Parlor 
No.  8,  NSGW,  was  erected  in  1932. 
Thousands  of  pictures,  documents, 
newspapers,  gowns,  firearms,  spin- 
ning wheels,  musical  instruments, 
mining  equipment  and  other  memen- 
tos of  the  early  days  of  California 
are  preserved  here. 

The  scenery  of  the  region  sur- 
rounding Oroville  is  unsurpassed.  On 
the  northern  side  of  Feather  River 
overlooking  the  city  are  two  lava  cap- 
ped mountains  known  as  first  and 
second  Table  Mountains  which  are 
perhaps  the  most  imposing  landmark. 
The  high  Buttes,  the  rushing  Feather 
River,  the  sparkling  streams,  specta- 
cular water  falls  and  the  mountain

Toll  House,  Oroville 


Wall,  a  three  mile  long  masonry 
structure  built  in  1892-1898  to  divert 
the  Feather  River  from  its  stream  so 
that  the  channel  could  be  easily 
mined.  It  cost  $12,000,000  and  prov- 
ed to  be  a  fizzle  for  early  miners  had 
already  taken  the  precious  metal  from 
the  river  bed. 

The  Toll  House  was  built  at  the 
east  aproach  to  the  old  suspension 
bridge  in  1856  when  the  bridge  was 
opened  for  traffic.  A  horse  and  rider 
paid  25  cents  toll.  A  pedestrian  paid 
10  cents.  Teams  and  wagons  had  to 
pay  in  proportion  to  the  size  of  loads. 
Pupils  going  to  Sunday  School  were 


NDGW  members  play  records  on  old 
music  box  in  Miners'  Alley.

a^  AN  Francisco  welcomed  the 
2^  16th  Annual  Session  of  Grand 
Parlor,  June  10  to  16,  1902  with 
Grand  President  Genevieve  Watson 
Baker  presiding;  92  parlors  were  then 
in  the  fold. 

Culmination  of  the  Sloat  Monu- 
ment project  is  recorded  in  the  com- 
munication to  the  Grand  President, 
from  Edwin  A.  Sherman,  Secretary 
of  the  Sloat  Monument  Association, 
dated  March  10,  1902:  "I  take  pleas- 
ure in  informing  you  that  the  stone 
of  your  Grand  Parlor  was  laid  with 
due  form  and  ceremony  in  the  base 
of  the  Sloat  Monument  at  Monterey 
on  Saturday  last  .  .  .  We  expected 
to  have  laid  it  on  Washington's  Birth- 
day, with  four  others,  but  the  men 
were  all  tired  out,  working  in  the  mud, 
and  could  do  no  more  at  that  time. 
The  storms  before  and  afterwards 
gave  us  then  only  one  day  in  which  to 
work.  I,  therefore,  postponed  the  lay- 
ing of  your  Grand  Parlor  stone,  until 
Saturday  last,  when  we  laid  it  at  the 
same  time  as  that  of  Placer  County, 
in  honor  of  the  55th  anniversary  of 
the  landing  of  General  Winfield  Scott 
and  our  Army  at  Vera  Cruz  on 
March  9,  1847,  in  which  I  partici- 
pated .  .  .  Your  stone  is  next  to 
that  of  the  Veterans  of  the  Mexican 
War;  one-half  resting  on  the  Californ- 
ia cornerstone,  and  one-half  on  the 
San  Francisco  stone,  as  you  will  see 
by  the  half-tone  print  enclosed.  Your 
stone  is  worthy  of  your  Grand  Par- 
lor, and  is  a  perfect  beauty,  and  oc- 
cupies a  place  of  honor  second  to 
none,  and  I  congratulate  you  upon  it 
and  your  wise  and  patriotic  action 
taken  in  time,  and  proves  your  grati- 
tude to  the  memory  of  the  late  Admi- 
ral John  Drake  Sloat,  whose  deeds 
"made  it  possible  for  you  and  all  of 
your  Society  to  be  'Native  Daughters' 
...  I  enclose  affidavit  as  to  the  laying 
of  your  Grand  Parlor's  stone  .  .  . 
When  we  receive  your  one-hundred 
dollars  pledged,  I  will  be  able  by  that 
time  to  furnish  you  three  copies  of 
the  'Life  of  the  late  Admiral  John 
Drake  Sloat',  to  be  kept  in  your 
library  and  preserved  as  souvenirs  of 
the  laying  of  your  Grand  Parlor's 
stone.  .  .  .  Again  thanking  you,  I 
have  the  honor  to  be" 

A  circular  was  sent  to  the  subor- 

PAGE  6 


dinate  parlors  in  May,  which  con- 
tained the  comment:  I  feel  assured 
that  this  Home  is  to  be  the  crowning 
glory  of  our  Order." 

The  Grand  President  recommend- 
ed "that  the  eschscholtzia,  or  poppy, 
be  adopted  as  our  emblematic  flow- 
er." 

The  first  Sunday  of  May  was  se- 
lected as  the  Memorial  Day  of  the 
Order.  (This,  we  know,  was  changed 
at  a  later  time.) 

In  the  Historical  Landmarks  Re- 
port, on  page  267,  appears  this  com- 
ment: "Honor  was  given  to  Sister 
Lilly  O.  Reichling  Dyer  by  Chair- 
man Eliza  D.  Keith  for  introducing 
the  Historical  Landmarks  resolutions 
in  the  Grand  Parlor  of  1901." 

It  was  recommended  by  the  Chair- 
man of  the  Board  of  Trustees  that 
the  Grand  Secretary's  office  be  de- 
clared the  place  of  business  of  the 
Grand  Parlor  between  sessions. 

A  resolution  was  introduced  by 
Piedmont  Parlor  No.  87,  and  adopted, 
that  "this  Grand  Parlor  take  the 
initial  steps  to  create  a  public  interest 
for  the  purpose  of  erecting  a  monu- 
ment to  the  memory  of  Betsy  Ross, 
who  made  the  first  American  Flag." 
(Another   project   started!) 

An  invitation  was  received  to  at- 
tend the  laying  of  the  U.  S.  Navy  and 
other  stones  in  the  base  of  the  Sloat 
Monument  at  Monterey  on  Friday, 
July  4th.  (Evidently  this  project  con- 
tinued over  a  considerable  period  of 
time,  rather  than  being  erected  all 
at  once.) 

A  very  short  reference  appears  in 
this  Proceedings  of  an  undertaking 
that  developed  into  a  major  project. 
A    resolution    was    introduced    and 


adopted  that  "a  standing  Committee 
on  the  Development  of  the  Resources 
of  the  State  be  appointed."  A  great 
deal  more  on  this  project  appears  in 
succeeding  Proceedings. 

You  will  recall  reference  in  the 
account  of  the  1900  Grand  Parlor 
Session  to  a  recommendation  thati 
the  Native  Daughters  erect  a  monu- 
ment to  the  Donner  Party.  At  the 
1902  Session,  a  request  was  received 
from  the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden 
West  that  the  Grand  Parlor  pass  a 
resolution  giving  the  committee  a 
special  recommendation  to  the  next 
Legislature  and  to  the  parlors  of  the 
Native  Sons  and  Native  Daughters 
of  the  Golden  West:  Whereas,  It  is, 
one  of  the  fundamental  principles  ofi 
the  Order  of  the  Native  Sons  of  the 
Golden  West  to  perpetuate  the  mem- 
ories of  the  Pioneers  and  the  hard- 
ships and  perils  of  their  journey 
hither,   and 

"Whereas,  There  is  a  committee 
appointed  by  this  Grand  Body  to 
devise  means  and  ways  to  erect  a 
monument  commemorating  that 
notable  event,  the  advent  of  the  Don- 
ner Party  into  California  in  1847. 
that  most  typical  of  all  authenticalh 
recorded  accounts  of  pioneer  jour- 
neys to  California,  so  nearly  com- 
pleted, and  tested  by  the  best  speci- 
mens of  manhood  and  womanhooc 
in  our  country,  filled  with  disaster, 
surpassing  the  limits  of  human  en- 
durance and  bringing  into  preeminem 
prominence  those  great  human  vir- 
tues, brotherly  love,  relief  and  charit) 
by  the  very  extremes  of  self-sacrifice 
and  disinterested  concern.

at  the  Native  Daughter  Hall  in  Red- 
ding. A  musical  program  presented

year  has  gone  by  since  1  assumed  the 
office  of  Grand  P  r  e  s  i  d  e  n  t  of  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West.

for  a  wonderful  year  filled  with  loving 
friendship  and  devoted  service  to  our 
beloved  Order.  Each  of  the  subordi- 
nate Parlors  have  made  me  reaUze 
anew  the  great  privilege  that  is  ours 
in  having  California  as  our  native 
State.  Every  report  has  indicated  the 
wonderful  work  done  in  your  re- 
spective communities  to  further  in- 
terest in  the  many  projects  of  our 
Order.  To  the  subordinate  Parlors 
for  the  many  courtesies  extended  to 
me,  for  the  bulletins  and  letters  tell- 
in  of  your  many  activities,  to  my 
Board  of  Grand  Officers,  the  Past 
Grand  Presidents,  the  Supervising 
District  Deputy  Grand  Presidents, 
Deputy  Grand  Presidents,  for  your

You.  I  am  looking  forward  to  greet-

The  materials  were  ordered  fron 
a  firm  in  Troy,  New  York,  in  thi 
early  50's  and  shipped  around  'Th(. 
Horn,  to  San  Francisco"  thence  b\ 
river  boat  up  the  Sacramento  anc 
Feather  Rivers  to  Marysville  and  h\ 
wagon  train  to  Bidwell  Bar. 

When  the  engineer,  a  Mr.  Evans 
needed  a  molten  material  to  ancho; 
ends  of  the  bridge  cables,  407  fee 
long  and  seven  inches  in  diameter,  ht

When  enough  were  collected  he  melt 
ed  the  foil  and  anchored  the  cable 
in  five  feet  of  solid  rock. 

The  length  of  the  bridge  is  37.

/(Fl^  VRR    A    CENTURY    AGO    On    April 

^  12,  1859,  history  was  made  in 
Dogtown.  A  huge  gold  nugget  which 
had  been  washed  down  the  gulch  was 
found  on  the  placer  claim  owned  by 
Willard,  Weatherbee  and  Smith  lo- 
cated one-half  mile  north  of  Dog- 
town,  now  renamed  Magalia,  in 
Butte  County.  Workmen  operating  a 
hydraulic  nozzle  had  washed  out  this 
huge  54-pound  nugget,  the  largest  in 
the  world  at  that  time. 

In  the  diary  of  Dr.  A.  K.  Stearns, 
superintendent  of  the  Willard  Mine, 
on  the  page  of  April  12,  1859  is 
written : 

"The  largest  gold  nugget  found  by  me 
was  on  the  12lh  day  of  April,  1859,  in 
the  forenoon,  weight  54  lbs  and  after 
assaying  52  lbs.  Present  at  the  time  was 
A.  B.  Perry,  Chancy  Right  and  four  other 
hands.  The  nugget  was  exhibited  under 
guard  until  it  was  taken  to  San  Francisco 
by  the  Wells  Fargo  and  Company  and 
smelted,   bringing   some    $10,690.00." 


George  Mansfield,  in  his  "History 
of  Butte  County",  gives  the  date  as 
August  14,  1859  but  the  diary  of  Dr. 
Stearns,  written  at  the  time  the  nugget 
was  found,  gives  proof  of  the  date.  In 
addition  to  the  big  nugget,  the  claim 
produced  an  additional  $3,000  worth 
of  gold  that  day  making  the  total  for 
the  week  around  $30,000.  After 
finding  the  big  nugget,  the  miners 
layed  off  work  for  a  big  celebration. 

On  April  17  and  18  of  the  Cen- 
tennial Year  1959,  the  Native  Daugh- 
ters of  Centennial  Parlor  No.  295  and 
the  Paradise  Chamber  of  Commerce 
sponsored  a  Gold  Nugget  Celebra- 
tion which  lasted  a  week.  The  cele- 
bration now  has  become  an  annual 
event.  The  men  grow  whiskers  for 
the  event  and  the  women  dress  in  old 
fashioned  clothes.  A  parade,  miner's 
stew,  a  queen  contest,  museum  with 
early  relics,  game  room,  dance, 
kangaroo  court  and  a  bean  feed  are 
all  enjoyed.  A  donkey  race  from  the 
discovery  site  to  Magalia  is  staged 
with  a  prize  going  to  the  winner.  The 
1962  celebration  took  place  from 
April  9  to  14  this  year  with  Gold 
Nugget  Days  April   13  and  14. 

In  1956  Centennial  Parlor  placed 
a  plaque  at  a  scenic  point  on  the 
Skyway  below  Magalia  looking 
across  the  canyon  of  the  West  Branch 
of  the  Feather  River  to  where  the 
nugget  was  found.  Although  the  date 
of  dedication  on  the  plaque  is  June 
12,  1956,  the  official  dedication  had 
to  be  postponed  until  November  6, 
1956  due  to  the  Skyway  being  re- 
built. 

Through  the  efforts  of  Mrs.  Lor- 
raine (Chester)  Hubb,  History  and 
Landmarks  Chairman  of  Centennial 
Parlor,  the  Dogtown  Gold  Nugget 
discovery  site  has  been  approved  and 
officially  registered  by  the  State  Park 
Division  of  Beaches  and  Parks  as 
Historical  Landmark  No.  771.

GOLDEN  ANNIVERSARY 

The  Golden  Anniversary  cele- 
brated on  March  21  by  Sea  Point 
Parlor  No.  196,  Sausalito,  was  a 
brilliant  affair.  On  the  stage  were 
seated  special  guests  and  Parlor  Pres- 
ident Myra  Gustafson  who  conducted 
the  meeting.  At  the  back  of  the  stage 
was  a  large  poster  with  the  number 
"50"  on  it,  two  large  white  standards 
with  golden  foliage  and  redwood 
branches  made  a  very  pretty  scene. 
On  the  floor  below  the  stage  were 
redwood  boughs  in  baskets,  sprays 
of  yellow  daffodils  and  chrysanthe- 
mums and  the  large  silk  American 
flag  of  48  stars  purchased  by  the 
Parlor  when  instituted.

cia and  Laura  E.  Proctor;  Jr.  PGP

and  five  yellow. 

The  program  featured  a  welcome

came  a  member  after  the  charter 
closed. 

The  very  interesting  minutes  of 
the  meeting  held  March  21,  1912 
were  read.  Anna  F.  Lacy  was  Grand 
President  at  that  time  and  presided. 
The  Grand  Secretary,  Alice  H. 
Dougherty,  announced  that  the  peti- 
tion for  the  C  h  a  r  t  e  r  was  properly 
signed  and  oSicial  permission  for 
same  had  been  obtained.  The  roll  of 
charter  applicants  was  called  and  re- 
sponded to  by  the  parties  having  the 
same.  The  name  of  the  Parlor  was 
ratified  by  unanimous  vote.  Sadie 
Viera,  as  president  of  the  new  Parlor, 
and  her  corps  of  officers  were  in- 
stalled. 

Among  the  many  communications 
received  was  this  one  from  Past  Presi- 
dent Pistolesi  of  Sequoia  Parlor  No. 
160,  NSGW. 

"Congratulations.  May  your  parlor 
grow  as  do  the  flowers  of  beautiful  Cali- 
fornia and  shine  as  bright  in  the  order 
as  California's  glorious  sunshine  and  your 
presence  in  Sausalito  become  as  sweet  as 
the  golden  fruit  of  our  beloved  state  and 
prosperity  be  ever  yours  as  has  been  Cali- 
fornia's since  the  days  of  '49." 

The  Grand  President  was  pre- 
sented a  tiny  sailboat  on  which  was 
her  gift;  the  charter  members  received 
tiny  rocking  chairs  filled  with  gold 
flowers  and  DGP  Buckholz  was  also 
remembered.  Organizer  Oliver  was 
given  a  gold  tree  with  50  gold- 
wrapped  silver  dollars  by  the  Parlor 
in  appreciation  of  her  long  years  of 
faithfulness.  The  Past  Presidents 
Association  No.  22,  Marin  County, 
presented  her  with  a  guest  book  and 
corsage. 

Refreshments  were  served  to  about 
200  guests.  The  Grand  Officers  were 
seated  at  tables  covered  with  gold 
cloths  and  decorated  with  vases  of 
golden  roses.  A  three-tiered  anni- 
versary cake  with  "50"  on  top  was 
made  and  decorated  by  Geraldine 
Bettencourt  who  also  made  the  gold 
corsages. 

Chairman  Sadie  Oliver,  co-chair- 
man Arlene  Knudson  and  their  com- 
mittee worked  hard  to  make  the 
anniversary  an  outstanding  event  in 
the    history    of    Sea    Point    Parlor.

JUNE  LUNCHEON 

What  does  being  a  Native  Daugh- 
ter mean  to  you?  This  provocative 
thought  was  the  theme  for  the  San 
Francisco  County  Luncheon  honor- 
ing Grand  President  Alice  Shea  on 
June  2  at  the  Fairmont  Hotel.  There 
are  many  answers  to  the  above  ques- 
tion, perhaps  as  many  answers  as 
there  are  members.  On  June  2  the 
Deputies  of  San  Francisco  in  their 
unusual  theme  and  program  pointed 
out  the  founding  principles  of  the 
Order  in  the  story  and  through  them 
told  others  what  being  a  Native 
Daughter  means  to  them.  "In  the  Dia- 
mond Jubilee  Year"  reports  Mrs. 
Edward  Bianchi,  SDDGP  from  El 
Vespero  Parlor,  "our  founding  princi- 
ples should  be  emphasized;  they  have 
stood  the  test  of  time  and  are  our 
seventy-five  year  heritage."

JOAQUIN 

Joaquin  Parlor  No.  5  observed  its 
75th  anniversary  with  a  banquet  and 
open  meeting  in  Scottish  Rite  Temple. 
A  silver  and  white  theme  was  used  in 
decorating  the  hall  and  a  large  glit- 
tering "75"  was  suspended  above  the 
stage.  A  large  diamond  setting  sur- 
rounded by  arrangements  of  white 
silk  roses  decorated  the  piano.  Bas- 
kets of  red,  white  and  gold  flowers, 
the  colors  of  the  Order,  completed 
the  decorations. 

Following  the  entrance  of  Joaquin 
Parlor  officers,  Grand  President  Alice 
D.  Shea  and  many  Grand  Officers 
were  escorted  to  seats  of  honor  and 
introduced.  Members  of  the  escort 
team  were  Mmes.  Armanino,  Wheel- 
er, Ferguson,  Maloney,  Ellis,  Adams, 
Portale  and  Kelley.  Mildred  Miller 
was  the  presiding  officer.  Edna  Will- 
iamson presented  the  history  of  the 
parlor,  which  was  organized  by  Mrs. 
Hannah  Gray,  April  8,  1887,  with 
34  charter  members.  There  are  now 
161  members  on  the  membership  roll. 
The  parlor  fists  three  grand  presi: 
dents  Mmes.  Carrie  Roesch  Durham 
in  1890,  Lena  Hilke  Mifis  in  1899, 
and  Mamie  G.  Peyton  in  1911.  The 
bible  used  during  the  evening  was  the 
one  presented  to  the  Parlor  by  Mrs. 
Durham,  charter  member,  and  on  dis- 
play was  the  flag  presented  by  Mrs. 
Peyton  in  1910. 

General  chairman  for  the  evening 
was  Mary  Ricker,  who  was  also 
chairman  for  the  Parlor's  golden  an- 
niversary in  1937.  Her  co-chairmen 
were  Mmes.  Parnell  and  Looper.  The 
Parlor's  gift  to  the  Grand  President 
was  presented  by  Mrs.  Ricker  while 
Mrs.  Looper  sang  "With  a  Song  in 
Our  Hearts,"  accompanied  by  Mrs.

State  Chairman,  California  Herald 


fHE  OFFICIAL  dedication  cere- 
monies at  the  18  million  dollar 
Dodger  Stadium  in  Chavez  Ravine 
marked  a  memorable  day.  Follow- 
ing the  invocation  by  His  Eminence 
J.  Francis  Cardinal  Mclntyre,  Alice 
D.  Shea,  Grand  President  of  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West, 
presented  the  Stadium  with  the  Amer- 
ican Flag.  State  Chairman  of  History 
and  Landmarks  Senaida  Sullivan  was 
chairman  and  had  the  cooperation  of 


Grand    Presidents    Alice    D.    Shea, 
NDGW  and  Edward  H.  Both,  NSGW 
at  the  new  Dodgers'  stadium  in  Cha- 
vez Ravine. 

U.  S.  Senator  Thomas  H.  Kuchel  in 
having  the  flag  presented  to  the  Sta- 
dium first  flown  over  the  Nation's 
capitol  in  Washington  D.  C. 

Following  the  singing  of  the  Star 
Spangled  Banner,  GP  Ed  Both, 
NSGW,  presented  the  Stadium  with 
the  CaUfomia  Bear  Flag.  A  color 
guard  from  the  Air  Force,  Marines, 
Navy  and  Army  posted  the  flags. 

The  entire  dedicatory  ceremony 
programmed  by  100  independent 
businessmen  who  wanted  to  make  it 
an  outstanding  event.  In  accepting  all 
the  good  wishes  from  the  Los  Angeles 
citzenry  for  building  the  magnificent 
structure,  Walter  O'Malley  asked  if 
after  all  the  controversy  over  Chavez 
Ravine,  could  he  really  keep  it,  now 
that  Dodger  Stadium,  which  is  indeed 
a  credit  to  the  city  of  Los  Angeles 
and   the   Dodgers,    had   been   built.

After  the  ceremonies  each  member 
of  the  Dodgers  team  came  out  on  the 
field  as  his  name  was  called.  This  was 
followed  by  a  short  warm-up  and  a 
one  inning  practice  game. 

Attending  the  ceremonies  were 
Past  Grand  Presidents  Irma  Caton, 
Mary  Noerenberg,  Hazel  Hansen  and

CHARTER  MEMBERS  HONORED 

When  the  annual  "Past  Presidents' 
Night"  was  observed  by  Grace  Par- 
lor No.  242,  charter  members  were

years  of  continuous  membership  were 
Mmes.  Matilda  Enfield,  Christine 
McFarland  and  Kate  Hill  of  Placen- 
tia,  Lydia  Oswald,  Fullerton  and 
Dorinda  Marzo,  Anaheim.  They  were 
presented  with  white  orchid  corsages

later  were  given  gifts  of  jewelry.  All 
stations  were  occupied  by  past  presi- 
dents of  the  parlor,  with  Betty  Ben- 
nett presiding. 

The  following  original  poem  was 
written  by  Winifred  Tedlock  Benson. 

GRACE  PARLOR 
CHARTER  MEMBER  TRIBUTE 

Have  you  heard  of  the  Native  Daughters, 

Girls  of  the  Golden  West? 
Of  pioneer  stock  they  are 

Of  California  most  blest. 
In  1927  a  band  of  loyal  ones 

Sought  a  charter  from  the  Order 
To  form  a  Parlor,  which  was  done. 

Grace  Parlor  they  named  it 
For  Grace  S.  Stoermer,  a  noted  one 

Who  was  a  friend  to  every  one. 
Now  of  that  loyal  band. 

Only  five  of  them  remain 
Most  have  stepped  thru'  Heaven's  Golden 
Gate 

Finding  new  beauty  to  attain. 
Of  those  that  are  left 

We  will  honor  them  tonight 
They   have   kept   alive 

The  purpose  of  the  Order,  bright. 
There's   Dorinda   Marzo   and   Lydia, 

Lydia  Oswald,  I  mean. 
Also  a   McFarland  whose  name   is  Chris- 
tine. 

Then  Kate  Hill,  she's  little  but  mighty. 
As   Parliamentarian,  she  keeps  us  straight 

So  nothing  we  do  is  flighty. 
Then  Matilda  Enfield,  a  bright  star  in  our 
crown 


When  duty  is  to  be  done 
She  is  always  around. 
These  five  are  all  that's  left 

Of  the  loyal  band 
Who  in  nineteen  twenty  seven 

Set  the  task  to  keep  in  hand  — 
The  traditions  of  California. 

As   Native   Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West 
Keep  alive  the  pioneer  spirit. 

Work  in  harmony  for  our  Order 
Never,  never  neglect  it. 

During  the  business  meeting,  dele- 
gates to  the  meeting  of  Grand  Parlor 
to  be  held  in  June  were  elected,  with 
Ida  Mae  Fletcher  and  Doris  Jacob- 
sen  named  delegates  and  Judith  Bell 
and  Delores  BeU,  alternates. 


PLAQUE  REDEDICATED 

Lugonia  Parlor  No.  241  has  re- 
dedicated  a  bronze  plaque  to  the 
Council  House  on  the  comer  of  3rd 
Street  and  Arrowhead  Avenue  in 
San  Bernardino.  A  brief  history  of 
the  land  mark  was  given  by  Mildred 
Meyer,  past  president  of  the  Parlor.

Carr,  chairman  of  history  and  land- 
marks committee,  holding  the  sketch. 

The  Council  House  was  probably 
the  first  building  erected  in  the  coun- 
ty.  It  was  built  by  Amasa  Lyman 
and  Charles  C.  Rich  and  used  as  the 
general  offices  of  the  Mormans.  It  was 
also  used  as  the  first  courthouse.  His- 
torians describe  it  as  a  building  24  • 
feet  by  1 6  feet,  containing  two  stories  i 
with  two  rooms.  In  setting,  the  walls  s 
cracked  and  braces  were  set  to  pre- : 
vent   falling.   According  to  research'

in  this  building  that  the  Placerville 
Academy  was  operated  for  the  years

tihe  two  Parlors  worked  out  the  dedi-

Pioneer  Relic  Building 


Five  years  ago  an  extension  was 
erected.  The  building  is  open  every 
Sunday  afternoon,  with  no  charge,  for 
the  pleasure  of  those  interested  in 
early  California  History.  Special  ap- 
pointments are  given  for  school  chil- 
dren, college  students.  Historical  So- 
cieties and  other  interested  groups. 
Several  thousand  are  taken  through 
each  year. 

In  1915  the  Parlor,  under  the 
chairmanship  of  Mrs.  Alta  Baldwin, 
started  a  program  of  welcome  to  all 
newly  made  citizens.  The  program 
was  held  in  the  Superior  Courtroom. 
This  was  the  first  time  in  the  state 
such  a  program  was  held.  It  was 
praised  by  the  state  examiners  and 
has  continued  ever  since. 

As  one  of  the  main  objects  of  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West 
is  to  honor  the  memory  of  our  pio- 
neers, on  the  evening  of  May  6,  1914 
an  evening  with  dinner  was  spent  in 
entertaining  all  the  early  pioneers  of 
Oroville  and  vicinity.  These  annual 
dinners  were  continued  for  30  years, 
until  it  was  impossible  for  the  pio- 
neers to  climb  the  stairs. 

During  the  early  years  of  the  Par- 
lor we  contributed  generously  to  the 
Homeless  Children,  and  assisted  in 
placing  several  children  here.  We  also 
helped  with  the  building  and  furnish- 
ing of  the  Native  Daughters  Home  in 
San  Francisco;  contributed  to  the 
building  of  the  Betsy  Ross  Monu- 
ment; and  the  monument  erected  in 
honor  of  the  Pioneer  Mothers. 

Through  the  years  we  have  con- 
tributed to  all  projects  of  the  Order 
as  well  as  community  projects,  though 
in  smaller  sums  as  our  main  project 
is  the  local  Pioneer  Relic  Building

miles  and  transport  water  as  far  south 
as  San  Diego.  The  cost  is  estimated

Small  gold  fans  with  an  orchid 
were  presented  to  the  evening's  two 
honorees,  SDDGP  Dolores  Zetwo  and 
DGD  Evelyn  Forbes.  A  gold  fan  sur- 
rounded by  fresh  orchids  served  as 
a  beautiful  centerpiece.  All  past 
deputies  were  introduced  and  short 
resumes  of  the  year  and  the  past

The  old  time  "J.P."  (justice  of 
the  peace)  is  quietly  disappearing 
from  the  judicial  scene.  His  passing 
is  not  particularly  lamented. 

He  was  the  product  of  the  horse 
and  buggy  age  when  transportation 
was  slow  and  roads  poor  making 
it  inconvenient  for  those  attending 
court  to  travel  any  great  distance. 
This  situation  necessitated  counties 
being  divided  into  numerous  judicial 
districts. 

The  salaries  of  these  judges  were 
very  modest  because  there  were  so 
many  of  them  for  the  amount  of 
work  they  had  to  do.  Hence  the 
office  of  justice  of  the  peace  rarely 
attracted  men  who  were  learned  in 
the  law.  With  few  exceptions  these 
judges  were  laymen  who  received 
most  of  their  professional  advice 
from  the  district  attorney  whom  they 
frequently  chose  to  disregard. 

Justice  was  usually  dispensed  in 
an  informal  manner.  Smoking  was 
frequently  permitted  during  trial, 
particularly  when  the  justice  himself 
enjoyed  puffing  on  a  pipe  or  cigar. 

For  many  years  a  state  law  pro- 
vided that  a  laywer  was  not  required 
to  appear  in  a  justice  court  until  one 
hour  after  the  time  a  case  had  been 
set  for  trial.  In  all  civil  cases  the  un- 
successful litigant  could  appeal  to 
the  superior  court  and  have  the  cause 
retried  in  the  same  manner  as  if  it 
had  originally  been  filed  there.  This 
was  necessary  in  view  of  the  limited 
knowledge  of  civil  law  possessed  by 
the  justice. 

On  the  other  hand,  an  appeal 
would  not  be  permitted  in  a  criminal 
case  unless  error  in  the  trial  of  the 
case  could  first  be  shown.  Usually 
these  judges  administered  justice 
fairly  in  criminal  cases.  While  I  feel

Wt  appears  that  there  are  twenty- 
;^  seven  counties  that  are  older 
than  the  State  of  CaHfornia,  Solano 
among  them.  Governor  Peter  Burnett 
signed  a  bill  creating  the  counties  on 
February  18,  1850,  whereas  Californ- 
ia was  admitted  to  the  Union  on  Sept- 
ember 9,  1850.  Benicia  was  Solano's 
original  county  seat.  The  county  was 
named  after  an  Indian,  Chief  Solano. 
To  speak  of  Benicia,  the  city,  one 
must  first  tell  of  Dr.  Robert  Semple, 
who  came  from  Kentucky  to  Cali- 
fornia in  1845,  arriving  after  an  ex- 
tremely hard  trip,  at  Sutter's  Fort  on 
Christmas  day.  He  first  worked  for 
Sutter.  He  and  John  Bidwell  were 
commissioned  to  find  a  spot  for  a 
)  good  mill,  and  if  they  had  built  the 
I  mill  instead  of  James  Marshall,  their 
names  would  have  been  credited  for 

JULY,  1962 


the  discovery  of  gold.  Dr.  Semple 
took  part  in  the  Bear  Flag  incident 
at  Sonoma,  and  it  was  there  he  met 
General  Vallejo,  and  they  became 
friends. 

The  following  is  from  an  article  in 
the  California  Historical  Society 
Journal:  "First  in  many  things  that 
meant  the  development  of  his  adopt- 
ed country,  Semple  is  also  given  the 
credit,  by  Hopkins,  of  being  the  or- 
iginal booster.  'All  the  gladsome 
boosting  that  rings  through  Northern 
California  today  is  legitimately  des- 
cended from  the  Adams  apple  of  Dr. 
Robert  Semple'." 

In  addition  to  establishing  a  mail 
route  to  Los  Angeles,  and  editing  a 
paper,  the  Californian,  Robert  Sem- 
ple devoted  his  spare  moments  to  the 
building    of    a    city.    When    General 


Vallejo  returned  to  Sonoma  after  his 
release  from  prison  due  to  the  Bear 
Flag  affair,  he  was  much  interested 
in  Semple's  plans  for  a  city.  Semple's 
enthusiasm  in  picturing  a  great  mari- 
time city  at  Carquinez  strait  moved 
Vallejo  to  donate  land  enough  for  a 
townsite,    in   August    or    September, 

1846.  It  was  not  until  December, 
that  Vallejo  officially  deeded  an  un- 
divided half  of  a  five  square  mile 
tract,  in  the  Soscal  rancho,  to 
Semple,  but  by  that  time  the  'boost- 
ing of  the  original  promoter  had  af- 
fected many  changes  on  the  shore 
line  of  Carquinez  strait.  He  had  pro- 
posed calling  the  town  Francisca  in 
compliment  to  Mrs.  Vallejo.  But 
when  the  people  of  Verba  Buena 
decided  upon  another  name  and 
chose  San  Francisco,  Semple  chang- 
ed the  name  to  Benicia,  Mrs.  Val- 
lejo's  second  name. 

Again  from  the  last  memtioned 
article.  "In  the  meantime  Semple  had 
interested  U.  S.  Consul  Thomas  O. 
Larkin  of  Monterey  in  his  scheme 
and  persuaded  him  to  purchase  Val- 
lejo's  interest  in  the  new  town.  In  a 
letter  to  the  General  dated  May  12, 

1847,  Semple  speaks  of  Larkin's 
desire  to  purchase  and  says  if  it  meets 
Vallejo's  approval  he  is  willing  the 
change  should  be  made.  Accordingly, 
on  May  18,  Semple  deeded  his  half 
back  to  Vallejo  and  the  following  day 
Vallejo  deeded  the  entire  property, 
with  the  exception  of  a  few  lots  for 
his  own  use,  to  Semple  and  Larkin, 
for  the  nominal  sum  of  $100." 

The  first  ferry  boat  built  by  Semple 
was  a  very  primitive  affair  and  some- 
times took  days  to  cross  the  strait, 
but  by  April,  1848,  he  had  a  more 
substantial  boat,  called  the  Lucy 
Long.  It  carried  men,  wagons,  and 
horses  from  near  Martinez  to  Beni- 
cia. Semple  donated  the  whole  pro- 
fits, about  $150  a  month,  as  well  as 
several  lots  for  the  benefit  of  schools. 
Apparently    from    letters    there    was

Campus  of  the  University  of  California  at  Berkeley 


1p5f)f/ERE  IS  A  SUBJECT  for  amateur 
Jj^  historical  researchers  and  re- 
cord sleuths  —  the  exact  location  of 
the  now  practically  forgotten  grave  of 
mysterious  "Little  May"  on  the  U.  C. 
Campus.  For  that  matter  the  back- 
ground story  of  the  girl  herself  might 
be  uncovered  by  such  attention. 

Supposedly  originating  during  the 
Gold  Rush  days,  the  grave  was  pho- 
tographed as  being  rather  worn  down 
in  the  1890's,  and  completely  flatten- 
ed out  in  1907.  At  the  latter  day, 
however,  most  of  the  carved  inscrip- 
tion on  a  nearby  forked  laurel  tree 
was  still  legible.  It  read: 
Little  May 

Dead 

Aged 
16  years 
Below  was  a  cross  about  the  same 
height  as  the  above  words,  with  an 
anchor  on  either  side;   and  then  a 
partially  remaining  circle  with  some 

PAGE  4 


unrecognizable    inscription   therein. 

Quite  probably  there  are  old  timers 
about  who  remember  seeing  both 
grave  and  inscription  during  their 
youthful  days.  Or  better  yet,  have 
photographs  of  either.  These  in  par- 
ticular should  be  searched  out  and 
and  questioned,  possibly  with  the  aid 
of  Bay  Area  newspaper  columnists. 

The  general  location  of  the  grave? 
It's  more  than  general.  On  the  south 
side  of  Strawberry  Creek,  near  the 
Le  Conte  Oak.  And  don't  let  the 
fact  that  this  is  the  second  tree  bear- 
ing that  name  throw  you,  the  original 
was  only  a  few  feet  away.  Further- 
more there  still  is  a  large  laurel 
beside  the  creek  there,  and  of  suffi- 
cient age  to  be  the  one  mentioned. 

A  large  scar  on  it  shows  where  a 
fork  has  been  sawed  off  in  recent 
years,  too.  But  as  to  any  definite 
bark  carving  or  inscription  —  there 
we  reach  a  dead  end.  For  they  just 


don't  last  a  century  on  most  trees, 
and  laurels  especially.  My  guess  is 
that  this  is  the  tree,  with  the  grave 
location  but  a  few  feet  off. 

Most  known  articles  concerning 
the  subject  are  speculative  and  of 
little  help  other  than  intimating  that 
the  girl  was  alone,  or  perhaps  an 
orphan.  But  one  randomly  wild  tale 
apparently  embelished,  if  not  largely 
put  together,  by  an  enterprising  re- 
porter and  a  yarn  stretching  sailor, 
in  the  June  2,  1907  San  Francisco 
Call  is  worth  investigating.  Especially 
as  the  seaman  claimed  he  and  others 
from  the  British  Whaler  Bolivar  made 
up  the  burial  party  nearly  60  years 
previously.  The  anchor  on  either  side 
of  the  cross  certainly  points  to  a 
marine  influence,  as  rather  does  the 
circled  inscription,  which  he  stated 
was  the  Lord's  Prayer.  He  also 
claimed  that  the  girl  was  undersized 
and  crippled  to  the  point  of  using 
crutches. 

But  from  then  on  the  tale  gets  a 
bit  out  of  hand.  She  really  was,  it  is 
stated  the  daughter  of  a  Spanish 
nobleman  with  the  very  Italian  name 
of  Reinzi.  High  in  the  Spanish  Army 
in  the  1830's,  he  ran  into  political 
trouble  and  so  fled  to  England,  There 
he  met  and  married  a  beautiful  Eng- 
lish woman,  by  whom  he  gained  Little 
May  as  a  daughter  a  few  years  later. 
Then  when  the  California  Gold  Dis- 
covery news  came,  he  decided  to  try 
his  fortune  by  digging  nuggets.  When 
his  wife  and  daughter  heard  nothing 
of  him  for  two  years  or  so,  they  de- 
cided to  come  to  California  in  search 
—  and  on  the  Bolivar.  That  was 
plausable  enough,  provided  they 
could  get  passage  on  such  a  vessel; 
however  off  the  Horn  the  girl  went 
into  a  sort  of  trance  wherein  she 
"saw"  a  California  mob  hanging  her 
father.  And  upon  the  vessel's  early 
1851  arrival  in  the  Bay  she  pointed 
to  the  Berkeley  HiUs  and  said,  "over 
there".  So  the  sailors  rowed  her  over

(JIIT'hese  are  memories  of  Dona 

III  Arcadia  Bandini  de  Baker, 
my  g  r  a  n  d  a  u  n  t,  for  whom  I  am 
named,  and  in  whose  home  I  Uved 
as  a  girl,  and  young  woman,  —  who 
was  identified  with  Southern  Cali- 
fornia, and  its  prominent  citizens, 
English  speaking,  as  well  as  those  of 
Spanish  descent,  in  ways  not  match- 
ed by  any  other  woman  of  her  time. 

She  saw,  and  remembered  Cali- 
fornia times  changing  from  the  pas- 
toral to  the  sophisticated  urban.  Her 
memories  embraced  the  experience 
of  an  extensive  first  family  of  Cali- 
fornia, as  well  as  those  of  the  cities 
of  the  South. 

These  are  also  my  memories,  and 
they  extend  a  long  way  back;  beyond 
my  own  childhood;  beyond  Auntie 
Baker's;  they  are  mine,  through  a 
precious  inheritance. 

My  memory  is  clear.  I  can  see 
myself,  a  small,  wide-eyed  child,  in 
a  white  dress;  my  flaxen  hair  worn 
in  a  bang,  and  tied  with  a  blue  rib- 
bon, standing  beside  a  rose  bush  in 
the  front  yard  of  our  big  house  at 
the  comer  of  First  and  Ivy  Streets, 
m  San  Diego  —  realizing  my  first 
lesson  in  not  asking  questions.  I 
remember  the  hush  of  that  hour. 

We  children  in  the  play  yard,  and 
looked  after  by  our  Indian  nurse- 
maid, Luisa;  mother  ill  in  bed.  Peep- 
ing from  the  side  gate,  I  saw  Jenny 
Jones'  two  horses  and  the  famiUar 
hack  out  in  front.  I  slipped  around 
to  the  front,  for  a  good  look,  and 
knowing,  perfectly  well,  that  I  had 
no  business  there. 

Mr.  Jones  was  standing  at  his 
horses'  heads.  He  opened  the  side 
door  of  the  hack.  Presently,  the 
front  door  of  our  house  opened,  and 
out  came  my  six  foot,  four  inches 
tall    father,    wearing    the    customary 

JULY,  1962

big  black  Fedora,  carrying,  what 
looked  like,  a  very  fancy  white  shoe 
box. 

Behind  him  came  a  young  lady. 
Aunt  Dora,  who  lived  with  us. 
Everything  was  terribly  quiet,  except 
for  Auntie's  crying.  They  entered  the 
hack,  the  driver  closed  the  door, 
climbed  up  to  his  place,  and  they 
drove  away. 

When  they  were  out  of  sight,  I 
crept  back  to  the  play  yard,  wonder- 
ing, wondering,  why  all  the  gloom?  I 
asked  Luisa,  "What  was  in  that 
white  box?"  "Don't  be  silly,  Cayita," 
she  scolded,  and  reprimanded  me 
soundly  for  going  into  the  front  yard. 
And  so  I  had  my  first  lesson  in  keep- 
ing mum  about  things  I  was  not  sup- 
posed to  see. 

Father  and  Auntie  returned  with- 
out the  white  box.  Both  were  very 
sad,  and  I  wondered  more  and  more, 
but  asked  no  more  questions. 

Years  later,  I  told  Aunt  Dora 
what  I  had  seen,  and  asked  what  it 
was  all  about,  and,  with  a  startled 
gasp  she  said,  "Why  Cayita,  you 
were  not  three  years  old,  when  that 
happened.  How  can  you  remember 
it?"  1  said,  "O.K.,  that's  what  I  re- 
member, or  don't  I?" 

Still  more  shocked,  Aunt  Dora 
admitted.    "That's    right.    That    was 


your  little  sister,  Tonita,  who  lived 
but  a  few  days.  Your  father  and  I 
were  taking  her  little  body  to  Cal- 
vary Cemetery,  in  Mission  Hills, 
which  was  quite  new  then  —  that 
cemetery  out  in  the  wilderness, 
which  has  long  since  passed  into  dis- 
use. 

I  am  proud  to  think  of  myself  as 
a  daughter  of  the  "Dons",  those 
aristocrats  of  Spanish  lineage,  who 
first  opened  California  to  Christian- 
ity, and  civilization,  whose  history 
on  the  Pacific  Coast  of  North  and 
South  America  began  so  long  ago. 

Sometimes  1  think  of  myself  as 
living  history.  Tia  Arcadia  de  Baker, 
daughter  of  Don  Juan  Bandini  of 
San  Diego,  and  Los  Angeles,  who 
was  herself,  a  "walking  encyclo- 
pedia" of  California  history,  made 
me  her  companion,  her  confidante, 
the  young  repository  of  choice  re- 
collections. 

She  was  dedicated  to  historical 
accuracy,  and  I,  too,  love  the  truth, 
and  am  hurt,  when  fabrications,  un- 
intentional misstatements,  and  care- 
less "slips"  are  put  forth  in  the  name 
of  history. 

Don  Juan  Bandidi,  jirst  citizen  of 
his  day  in  California,  was  the  son  of

IN  1795  A  YOUNG  soldier  who  had 
served  with  Portola  and  De  Anza, 
and  whose  name  was  Jose  Maria 
Soberanes,  and  his  father-in-law, 
Joaquin  Castro,  received  a  Spanish 
land  grant  of  8,446  acres  near  the 
Soledad  Mission.  Soberanes  worked 
hard  to  develop  his  holdings,  but  died 
before  the  title  of  this  land  could  be 
proved  clearly  his.  His  widow  moved 


easy  money.  He  drank  a  lot  and  ran 
up  a  lot  of  bills.  The  original  home 
at  Los  Coches  consisted  of  five 
rooms  on  the  ground  floor  and  a  num- 
ber of  small  rooms  upstairs.  This  part 
of  the  house  was  built  of  adobe  — 
the  walls  being  nearly  three  feet  thick. 
The  front  door  of  Los  Coches  opens 
on  a  living  room  that  measures 
14  X  16  feet.  The  main  attraction  in 


Richardson  adobe  on  Los  Coches  Rancho 


to  Monterey  and  years  later  their  son, 
FiHciano  Soberanes  came  back  to  the 
Valley.  By  1841  many  other  land 
grants  had  swelled  the  family's  land 
holdings  to  1 15,000  acres.  Then  came 
conflicting  grants  and  squatters,  and 
quarreling  —  dry  years  and  cattle 
thieves  and  foreclosing  law  suits. 
They  lost  a  lot  of  land. 

Los  Coches  was  first  built  in  1843 
to  be  a  home  for  the  William  Rich- 
ardson family,  she  having  been  Josefa 
Soberanes,  to  whom  8794  acres  of 
Rancho  Los  Coches  had  been  grant- 
ed in  1841  by  Governor  Juan  Alva- 
rado.  Josefa  Soberanes  had  married 
William  B.  Richardson,  of  Maryland, 
who  had  come  west  seeking  land  and

later  years  this  room  was  used  as  a 
taproom,  and  as  the  story  goes,  was 
once  pocked  with  bullet  holes.  Tebur- 
cio  Vasquez  was  known  to  have 
stopped  at  Los  Coches  many  times  as 
he  went  racing  through  the  county 
seeking  victims. 

The  flooring  in  the  old  building 
originally  was  6-inch  wide  redwood

rooms  upstairs  that  were  used  as 
bedrooms,  and  there  is  still  part  of 
a  secret  stairway.  The  entire  eastern 
part  of  the  buUding  was  built  much 
later,  possibly  about  1860,  when  the 
family  home  was  turned  into  a  stage 
stop  on  the  El  Camino  Real.  It  is  all 
wood  in  structure.  The  entire  eastern 
part  of  the  first  floor  (toward  High- 
way 101)  is  occupied  by  one  room, 
30  X  20  feet,  which  at  various  times 
in  the  past  housed  a  general  mer- 
chandise store.  The  room  upstairs  o- 
ver  the  store  is  the  same  size,  and  tra- 
dition says  was  used  as  a  dance  hall 
and  meeting  room. 

Los  Coches  saw  its  heydey  be- 
tween 1872  and  1888,  when  it  was 
turned  from  a  family  home  to  a  stage 
stop.  The  construction  of  the  rail- 
road had  been  halted  at  Soledad  and 
the  transfer  of  passengers  from  rail- 
road to  stage  coach  brought  a  steady 
flow  of  business.  Many  people  who 
were  going  to  Pariso  Hot  Springs  for 
health  baths  stayed  at  Los  Coches, 
too.  Also,  many  people  from  the 
coast  side  of  the  Santa  Lucia  Mount- 
ains traveled  for  days  with  pack  ani- 
mals and  saddle  horses,  up  and 
around  Cone  Peak,  which  is  south- 
west of  Santa  Lucia,  then  down  to  the 
Big  Rocks,  where  they  had  wagons 
stored  in  a  cave.  From  there  traveled 
in  wagons  over  the  hUls,  down  past 
Robbers  Roost  and  on  to  Los  Coches.  | 
There  they  could  rest  the  horses,  then  i 
go  on  to  Soledad  to  buy  enough  ' 
staple  food  to  last  for  months.  \ 

In  1888,  when  I  was  eleven  months  } 
old,    my   parents   moved   from    San 
Francisco  to  the  Jolon  country.  They  ; 
came  by  train  to  Soledad,  then  stored  ' 
their  household  goods  at  Los  Coches 
and  went  on  by  stage  coach  to  Jolon. 
There  my  father  hired  Mr.  Earl  to  go  i 
with  him,  back  to  Los  Coches,  with  , 
a  wagon  and  four  horses  to  haul  our  I 
furniture  to  Jolon,  then  on  up  to  a

N.  S.  G.  W.  FOUNDER 

Albert  Maver  Winn,  the  founder  of 
the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West 
had  a  colorful  career.  The  oldest  of 
21  children,  \\z  was  born  in  Louden 
County,  Virginia,  April  27,  1810. 
His  father.  Captain  John  Winn, 
fought  against  England  in  the  War  of 
1812.  Albert  was  impressed  with 
patriotism  and  love  for  his  country 
by  his  parents,  a  trait  that  remained 
with  him  for  life. 

The  period  following  the  war  was 
not  one  of  prolific  interest  in  educa- 
tion, especially  in  the  South  so  Al- 
bert's schooling  was  somewhat  re- 
stricted, however,  he  attended  classes 
until  the  age  of  12  after  which  he 
helped  on  the  farm.  When  he  was  14 
the  family  moved  to  Ohio. 

JULY,  1962 


In  1829  he  married  Catherine 
Gaffney  of  Zanesville  and  moved  to 
Mississippi  where  he  engaged  in  the 
lumber  business  and  worked  on  the 
side  as  a  carpenter.  While  1  i  v  i  n  g  in 
Mississippi,  Winn  became  interested 
in  military  affairs  and  in  1835  was 
made  a  lieutenant  in  the  militia.  In 
1836  Governor  Lynch  commissioned 
him  a  major  on  his  staff.  From  1 840 
to  1844  he  was  State  Drill  Master, 
becoming  a  colonel  in  1845.  During 
this  period  he  presided  as  president 
of  the  Master  Carpenters  and  Joiners 
Society  of  Vicksburg  and  served  on 
the  Vicksburg  city  council. 

Hearing  of  the  gold  discovery  in 
California,  he  left  the  comforts  of  his 
home  and  headed  West  by  way  of  the 
Isthmus  of  Panama.  Leaving  Vicks- 
burg February  14,  1849,  he  arrived 
in  San  Francisco  May  28  and  settled 
in  Sacramento  on  June  25.  It  is  not 
surprising  with  his  background  of 
civic  and  political,  as  well  as  military 
experience,  he  would  seek  an  active 


part  in  the  formation  of  the  city.  It 
was  a  foregone  conclusion  by  those 
who  knew  him,  he  would  be  a  man 
apart  from  the  general  run  of  gold 
seekers.  In  July,  1849,  a  movement 
was  made  to  organize  a  city  govern- 
ment in  Sacramento,  and  an  election 
was  held.  A  man  named  Stout  was 
selected  as  president,  however,  he 
left  town  before  serving,  and  young 
Winn  was  chosen  in  his  place.  During 
Winn's  administration  many  accomp- 
lishments were  achieved.  Winn  was  a 
joiner,  as  well  as  an  organizer.  In  the 
archives  of  many  fraternal  organiza- 
tions his  name  is  listed  as  a  member, 
and  especially  in  Sacramento.  At  one 
time  Winn  acted  as  land  agent  for 
Captain  Sutter. 

In  1860  he  moved  to  San  Fran- 
cisco, where  he  became  interested  in 
real  estate.  Winn  enjoyed  writing  and 
was  a  regular  contributor  to  the  New 
Age  and  the  Daily  Alta  California. 
He  also  edited  a  labor  journal,  known 
as  "The  Shop  and  Senate."  On  July  4, 
1 876,  Winn  organized  the  Sons  of  the 
Revolutionary  Sires,  later  to  be 
known  as  Sons  of  the  American  Rev- 
olution. This  was  the  western  branch 
of  the  national  society,  which  later 
consolidated. 

One  of  his  greatest  achievements 
in  the  field  of  organization  was  the 
founding  of  the  Native  Sons  of  the 
Golden  West.  General  Winn  attempt- 
ed to  organize  such  an  order  in  1869, 
but  failed.  Success  came  t  o  him 
July  11,  1875.  The  General's  purpose

big  —  no  task  too  small  —  if,  in  its 
accomplishment,  our  Order  is  bene- 
fited. 

I  am  very  grateful  for  the  confi- 
dence reposed  in  me  and  I  am  not 
unmindful  of  the  tremendous  respon- 
sibilities that  come  with  the  ac- 
ceptance of  the  office  of  Grand  Pre- 
sident. It  is  a  privilege  for  me  to 
work  with  you  and  I  shall  try  to 
perform  each  duty,  great  or  small, 
with  faithfulness  and  impar- 
tiality. Not  only  do  I  ask  for  your 
cooperation  but  also  for  your  pa- 
tience and  understanding.  I  pledge 
you  the  very  best  of  my  time,  loyalty 
and  energy,  and  ask  that  you  stand 
with  me  in  a  motto  that  can  be  sum- 
med up  in  these  words:  In  large 
things,  UNITY;  in  small  things, 
TOLERANCE;  in  all  things, 
CHARITY.  One  person  alone  can

realize  the  opportunities  that  face  us, 
but  by  accepting  them  and  pulling

nearer  its  rightful  place  in  our  Gold- 
en State  of  California.

Eschscholtzia  No.  112  enjoyed  a 
"Mother  Goose"  Party  after  the  regu- 
lar business  session.  Whist  was  play- 
ed, there  being  five  tables  of  players. 
Score  cards  were  Mother  Goose  pic-

ners by  matching  the  verses.  High 
prize  was  won  by  Agnes  Calloway;

DIAMOND  ANNIVERSARY 

On  June  11,  1887  the  Mountain 
Democrat  stated:  "Thursday  even- 
ing, June  9th,  Marguerite  Parlor  No. 
12  NDGW  was  inaugurated  and  offi- 
cers installed  by  Grand  President 
Lilly  O.  Reichling  of  Ursula  Parlor 
No.  1  of  Jackson,  Amador  County, 
assisted  by  two  young  ladies  from 
the  same  parlor.  At  the  close  of  the 
installation  ceremony  the  Native 
Daughters  and  Native  Sons  marched 


to  Confidence  Hall  to  join  their 
friends  gathered  there  and  danced 
until  late  into  the  night  to  the  in- 
spiring strains  of  Keil's  orchestra. 
The  parlor  includes  among  its  ranks 
the  wives  of  several  prominent  citi- 
zens who  have  not  forgotten  they  are 
natives  of  this  golden  state." 

"About  fifty  young  ladies  were  ad- 
mitted into  the  mysteries  of  the  or- 
der, and  soon  they  hope  to  become, 
like  Placerville  Parlor  Native  Sons, 
one  of  the  largest  and  most  success- 
ful parlors  in  the  state." 

In  celebration  of  the  75th  anniver- 
sary of  Marguerite  Parlor,  the  fol- 
lowing history  was  prepared  by  Past 
Presidents  Nora  Gray  and  Claire 
Freeman.  It  was  presented  by  Past 
President  Florence  Savage  on  the 
night  of  the  celebration. 

History  of  Marguerite  Parlor 
No.  12,  NDGW 
"Early  in  June,  1887,  a  group  of 
Placerville  ladies  met  at  the  Ohio 
House  and  organized  our  Parlor,  e- 
lecting  the  first  slate  of  officers.  Min- 
nie Hogan  was  chosen  as  our  first 
President.  The  name  "Marguerite" 
was  chosen  by  Annie  Hofmeister  in 
honor  of  Mrs.  Marguerite  Crocker 
of  Sacramento,  according  to  a  letter 
in  our  scrapbook  from  Charter 
Member  May  Bailey.  Mrs.  Crocker 
was  the  wife  of  Judge  E.  B.  Crocker, 
early  council  of  the  Central  Pacific 
Railroad.  Among  her  many  gifts  to 
Sacramento  was  the  $130,000  build- 
ing and  endowment  of  the  Marguer- 
ite Home  for  homeless  aged  women, 
located  at  7th,  8th,  P  &  Q  streets. 
She  gave  a  large  tract  of  land  to  the 
City  Cemetery.  Another  of  her  gifts 
to  the  city  of  Sacramento  was  the 
Crocker  Art  Gallery  property,  then 
valued  at  half  a  million  dollars.  Our 
Parlor  is  proud  to  bear  her  name. 
The  Parlor's  first  officers  were  in- 
stalled by  the  Order's  founder,  Lilly 
Reichling  of  Ursula  Parlor  No.  1  on 
the  evening  of  June  9,  1887.  It  was 
an  outstanding  social  event,  with  the 
Native  Sons  participating.  A  Grand

Florence  Beadle  of  Lakeside,  Cal- 
ifornia has  an  interesting  historical 
hobby.  She  has  reconstructed  a  street 
as  it  might  have  looked  many  years 
ago  with  the  old  post  office,  the 
general  store,  depot.  Wells  Fargo  Ex- 
press agency,  old  time  dance  hall, 
saloon  and  cafe.  Her  dream  of  many 


years,  now  is  becoming  a  reality. 
For  many  years  Mrs.  Beadle  has 
been  active  in  preserving  historical 
places  for  the  future.  This  street  of 
yesteryear  is  most  interesting  his- 
torically and  is  of  educational  value 
for  both  adults  and  youth. 


LITTLE  MAY'S  GRAVE  .  .  .

to  Jacobson's  Wharf  and  after  roam- 
ing up  toward  the  hills  she  pointed 
out  the  very  tree.  This,  the  paper 
states  under  a  picture,  was  currently 
known  as  Berkeley's  "Vigilante  Oak" 
—  another  item  worthy  of  some  re- 
search. 

Well,  the  sailor  made  inquiry  and 
found  out  that  some  months  previous- 
ly a  supposed  Mexican  who  only 
gave  the  name  of  Soldado  (Soldier) 
was  hung  there  as  a  horse  thief  in 
spite  of  his  protests  of  innocence. 
Even  County  Sheriff  Harry  Morse 
was  supposed  to  have  ridden  in  from 
Livermore  to  cut  the  man  down,  but 
too  late  of  course.  This  detail  the 
girl  had  also  "seen".  So  back  to  the 
ship  all  went,  where  Little  May  made 
all  promise  to  bury  her  also  in  the 
Berkeley  Hills  —  and  then  died  of  a 
broken  heart.  Her  wish  was  there- 
upon carried  out,  "In  the  prettiest 
spot  I  could  find",  said  the  sailor. 
Others  helped  him  carve  the  tree.  The 
mother  returned  to  Europe. 

There  are  a  few  other  details,  even 
wilder,  but  here  at  least  are  several 
points  to  augment  what  can  be  learn- 
ed from  anyone  who  remembers  see- 


ing the  grave  or  inscription.  Dates,  a 
ship,  a  hanging.  Perhaps  a  little  su- 
pervised trench  digging  might  be  un- 
dertaken, probably  by  the  Anthropo- 
logy Department,  if  neither  pictures 
nor  University  records  disclose  the 
approximate  spot.  At  any  rate  a  new 
mound  and  appropriate  marker  or 
headstone  would  be  a  measurable 
contribution  to  campus  tradition.

GIUSEPPE  LOBERO 

In  the  late  1850's,  Giuseppe  Lo- 
bero,  an  Italian  musician-actor-singer, 
came  to  Santa  Barbara;  settling  down, 
he  changed  Giuseppe  to  Jose  to  make 
things  easier  for  his  new  neighbors, 
and  began  working  on  his  brightest 
dream:  the  building  of  a  theatre.  In 
1872,  his  dream  came  true  when  he 
opened  his  Opera  House  bringing  the 
theater  arts  to  Santa  Barbara,  making 
this  little  city  by  the  sea,  the  cultural 
center  of  Southern  California. 

Recently,  it  came  to  the  attention 
of  Tierra  de  Oro  Parlor  that  the  grave 
site  of  this  pioneer  was  unmarked. 
The  Lobero  Theatre  Foundation  and 
the  Santa  Barbara  Historical  Society 
were  invited  to  share  the  cost  of  plac- 
ing a  suitable  plaque  on  the  final 
resting  place  of  this  remarkable  citi- 
zen of  Santa  Barbara.  On  Saturday, 
May  5,  ceremonies  were  conducted 
to  dedicate  a  bronze  plaque  on  the 
grave  of  Jose  Lobero  in  the  Santa 
Barbara  Cemetery.  Walker  A.  Tomp- 
kins, Santa  Barbara  Historian-Bio- 
grapher was  the  guest  speaker. 
Among  the  honored  guests  were 
Mayor  and  Mrs.  Edward  L.  Abbott 
and  Mrs.  Frank  Villalba,  a  grand 
niece  of  Jose  Lobero,  and  her  family.

small  ranch  near  the  Indians.  It  took 
several  weeks  to  accomplish  this. 

Early  in  1889  the  Southern  Pacific 
built  the  railroad  on  to  the  south,  and 
Los  Coches  was  forgotten  and  fell 
into  ruin.  Recently,  however,  Clifford 
McElrath,  a  Chular  rancher,  and 
manager  of  the  Jacks  interests  in  the 
Valley,  the  Monterey  County  Plan- 
ning Commission  and  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  have 
taken  interest  in  the  old  landmark. 
Also,  much  to  the  delight  of  history 
lovers.  Miss  Margaret  A.  Jacks,  of 
San  Francisco,  in  whose  family  the 
property  has  been  for  nearly  a  cen- 
tury, has  presented  Los  Coches  to 
the  State  for  development  in  connec- 
tion with  its  roadside  rest  program. 
Los  Coches  is  one  of  three  hundred 
roadside  rests  to  be  developed 
throughout  California,  for  public  use 
and  picnics.

in  formulating  a  fraternal  society  of 
native  born,  is  best  expressed  when 
interviewed  shortly  after  the  organi- 
zation was  a  reality:  "For  twenty 
years  my  mind  has  been  running  on 
some  lasting  style  of  monument  to 
mark  and  perpetuate  the  discovery  of 
gold.  I  could  not  think  of  anything 
that  would  not  perish  in  the  course  of 
time.  At  last  came  to  my  mind  that 
an  order  composed  of  native  sons  of 
the  Pacific  Coast  would  effect  the  ob- 
ject and  be  sustained  by  the  pride  of 
parentage  and  place  of  nativity,  while 
it  would  be  an  imperishable  memen- 
to, an  institution  that  would  last 
through  all  time." 

Winn  passed  away  in  Sonoma, 
August  26,  1883,  and  his  body  was 
sent  to  Sacramento  for  burial  in  the 
City  Cemetery.  The  many  organiza- 
tions he  belonged  to,  and  had  served

so  well,  could  have  laid  claim  to  the 
funeral  ceremony,  but  this  honor  was 
given  to  the  Native  Sons  of  the  Gold- 
en West.  Every  fraternal  and  civic 
organization  in  Sacramento  partici- 
pated in  the  funeral  procession,  and 
the  courts  and  schools  suspended 
business  during  the  day  of  the  burial, 
while  the  city  paid  high  tribute  to 
their  First  Mayor.  On  Thanksgiving 
Day,  November  28,  1888,  a  monu- 
ment was  erected  in  the  City  Ceme- 
tery to  his  memory,  by  the  Native 
Sons  of  the  Golden  West.

Over  the  years  our  Parlor  has 
been  most  active  in  marking  histori- 
cal sites  and  in  honoring  pioneers  of 
the  County.  For  many  years  we  gave 
a  banquet  each  fall  in  their  honor, 
and  the  pioneers  looked  forward 
eagerly  to  this  event.  Plaques  were 
placed  marking  the  following  sites: 
Site  of  Hangman's  Tree;  Site  of  the 
Bullion  Bend  Robbery;  Old  P.  G.  & 
E.  Building,  which  withstood  the 
fire  of  1856;  Old  Federated  Church 
erected  in  1851  in  Placerville;  The 
Episcopal  Church  erected  in  1865 
in  Placerville;  Old  Odd  Fellows  Hall, 
erected  in  1852,  in  Diamond 
Springs;  The  City  Hall  of  Placer- 
ville, erected  in  the  Fall  of  1860; 
Rolleri  Building,  erected  by  Emi- 
grant Jane  in  1861;  Baby's  Grave  at

In  1925  the  Grand  Parlor  was 
held  in  Placerville,  with  headquar- 
ters in  the  Odd  Fellows  Hall.  Ethel 
Van  Vleck  was  General  Chairman. 
The  delegates  agreed  this  was  one  of 
the  most  enjoyable  Grand  Parlors 
they  had  experienced.  Our  members 
were  intensely  interested  in  the 
Homeless  Children  Adoption  pro- 
ject of  Grand  Parlor,  and  we  raised 
funds  for  the  adoption  of  several 
children.  On  July  28,  1937  our  Par- 
lor celebrated  its  50th  Anniversary 
in  memorable  fashion  under  the

charter  members.  In  August,  1946, 
we  sponsored  a  "Jane  Lee  Break- 
fast" program,  which  was  broadcast 
nationally  over  radio.  Through  the 
leadership  of  our  Parlor,  El  Dorado 
County  was  represented  at  the  Cal- 
ifornia State  Fair  on  the  100th  Anni- 
versary of  the  Gold  Rush  in  1949. 

We  have  but  one  living  Charter 
Member,  Jenny  Arvidson  Levy,  and 
we  deeply  regret  that  due  to  illness 
she  is  unable  to  be  with  us  tonight. 
We  are  proud  that  our  Parlor  has 
twenty-two  "fifty  year  members." 
Our  treasurer,  Ethel  Van  Vleck,  re- 
ceived her  50  year  pin  some  time 
ago,  and  we  appreciate  her  continued 
service  to  our  Parlor.  It  is  our  hope 
that  Marguerite  Parlor  No.  12  will 
continue  to  serve  our  community 
well  for  many  more  years,  and  that 
many  of  us  here  tonight  will  be  here 
to  celebrate  the  Parlor's  100th  Anni- 
versary in   1987." 

The  diamond  anniversary  of  the 
Parlor  will  be  long  remembered  by 
the  members  and  their  many  guests. 
Over  200  joined  to  celebrate  the 
occasion  and  to  honor  Grand  Presi- 
dent Alice  D.  Shea.  Past  Grand 
President  Audrey  D.  Brown,  a  cou- 
sin of  Clara  Schreiber,  president  of 
Marguerite  Parlor,  was  chairman  of 
the  evening  and  gave  the  welcome 
address. 

Grand   officers   present  were:    Jr. 
PGP  Edna  C.  WilUams;  GVP  Rhoda 
Roelhng;    GM    Lee    Brice;    Grand 
Trustees,  Chairman  Fern  E.  Adams, 
Katie    Jewett,    Hazel    T.    Mallette, 
Mary    Ehlers    and    GOS    Nancy    J. 
Conens.  Past  Grand  Presidents  hon- 
ored   were    Eileen    Dismuke,    Irma 
M.    Caton,    Mae    Himes    Noonan, 
Audrey  D.  Brown,  Anne  C.  Thues- 
sen,  and  Henrietta  Toothaker.  Pre- 
sent also  were  SDDGP  Eleanor  Lun- 
dy  and  DGP  Helen  Francisco.  Mil- 
dred Le  Fevre  was  honorary  marsh- 
al for  the  evening  and  general  chair- 
man for  the  party.  All  the  officers 
wore   white   lace   dresses   with   blue 
wood   fiber   corsages.    The   corsages 
were  made  for  all  the  grand  officers, 
i  officers  and  special  guests,  by  Lora 
j  Reese,    a   past   president.   All   other 
i  guests  were  presented  with  blue  and 
i  white    paper    corsages.    The    flower 
!  "marguerite"  was  used  in  all  decora- 
tions. 

Gifts  to  the  Parlor  were  presented 

JULY,  1962 


by  Ursula,  Laurel  and  Plymouth 
Parlors;  the  Historical  Society  of  El 
Dorado  County,  and  PGP  Audrey 
D.  Brown.  All  of  the  guests  were 
seated  in  the  banquet  room  which 
was  decorated  to  represent  a  garden 
of  marguerites.  At  the  head  table  a 
three  tiered  cake  decorated  in  blue 
marguerites  on  white  was  cut  by 
Grand  President  Alice  and  president 
Clara. 

An  excellent  program  was  present- 
ed. The  Grand  President  presented 
a  fifty  year  pin  to  Mrs.  Ed  Christian. 
All  the  officers  presented  the  Grand 
President  with  a  gift  while  Past 
President  Rosalie  Hamilton  sang  a 
special  song  written  by  Anita  Spen- 
cer for  the  occasion. 

On  the  following  Sunday,  lunch- 
eon was  held  at  the  Ivy  House,  the 
last  of  Placerville's  old  hotels,  and 
at  two  o'clock,  a  large  crowd  attend- 
ed while  the  Native  Sons,  Placerville 
No.  9,  unveiled  the  marker  for  the 
historical  Ivy  House.  The  marker 
was  a  gift  to  the  Native  Daughters 
from  the  Native  Sons.  J.  Barton 
Hassler,  chairman  of  History  and 
Landmarks  Committee,  Placerville 
No.  9,  NSGW,  presented  the  plaque 
which  was  accepted  by  Clara  Schrei- 
ber president  of  Marguerite  Parlor 
No.   12,  NDGW.

ARCADIAN  MEMORIES  .  .  . 
(Continued  from  Page  5) 

Captain  Jose  Bandini,  and  Dofia 
Isadora  Blancas  Hcrrera  de  Ban- 
dini of  Peru. 

Family  records  show  that  Juan 
was  born  on  October  4,  1800,  at 
Arica;  educated  at  Lima,  and  in 
Europe.  Captain  Jose  was  in  the 
Battle  of  Trafalgar  on  October  21, 
1805,  and  that  he  was  bringing  to 
Spanish  California,  arms  and  sup- 
plies, when  father  and  son  arrived 
at  the  port  of  San  Diego  in  1818, 
famous  year  of  terror,  the  Bouchard 
scare.  (Bouchard  was  a  pirate  on  our 
coast. ) 

In  1818,  San  Diego  consisted  of 
an  unimproved  port,  the  Royal  Pre- 
sidio, and  the  Franciscan  Mission, 
six  miles  eastward  of  San  Diego  de 
Alcala.  This  was  nearly  a  generation 
before  the  Pueblo  de  San  Diego, 
(Old  Town)  came  into  existence. 

We  were  a  possession  of  Spain; 
our  King,  the  unfortunate  Ferdinand 
VII;  our  language  exclusively,  Span- 
ish, as  the  local  historian,  William  E. 
Smythe  writes  of  my  bisabuelo 
(great  grandfather)  Don  Juan.  "For 
nearly  forty  years  he  was  an  honored 
citizen  of  California,  saw  it  pass  from 
Spanish  into  Mexican  hands,  and  liv- 
ed to  take  a  prominent  part  in  wrest- 
ing it  from  control  of  the  Califomi- 
ans,  and  making  it  the  thirty-first 
state  in  the  Union. 

Through  all  the  intervening  days 
of  struggle,  he  took  an  important 
part,  and  narrowly  missed  the  high- 
est political  honors  of  his  time.  'His 
long  residence  and  eminent  public 
service  in  San  Diego,  entitled  him  to 
be  considered  the  First  Spanish  Citi- 
zen of  his  day."  (Smythe's  History 
of  San  Diego,  page  164). 

Of  Don  Juan  Bandini's  life  in 
San  Diego,  Los  Angeles,  Monterey, 
Mexico  City,  at  Rancho  Jurupa,  and 
elsewhere  on  the  Pacific  Coast, 
Auntie  Arcadia  de  Baker  told  me 
much.  And  as  elders  will,  in  recit- 
ing history  to  the  young,  told  it  re- 
peatedly. 

The  story  of  California,  of  San 
Diego,  and  its  people,  of  the  House 
of  Bandini,  she  knew  intimately  and 
loved  deeply.  Even  now,  I  find  my- 
self with  a  smile  on  the  lips  that 
hides  tears  in  the  eyes  —  smiling 
eyes  trying  to  speak  what  a  choking 
throat  holds  back.

TAXI  STAND 

Two  men  carrying  briefcases  stopped 
in  front  of  a  New  York  traffic  snarl.  One 
glanced  at  his  watch  and  looked  at  the 
traffic. 

"Hmm,"  he  said  to  his  companion,  do 
we  have  time  to  take  a  cab  or  shall  we 
walk?" 


The  burglars  had  tied  and  gagged  the 
cashier  after  extracting  the  combination 
to  the  safe  and  had  herded  the  other  em- 
ployees into  a  separate  room  under  guard. 
After  they  rifled  the  safe  and  were  about 
to  leave  the  cashier  made  desperate  plead- 
ing noises  through  the  gag.  Moved  by 
curiosity  one  of  the  burglars  loosened 
the   gag. 

"Please!"  whispered  the  cashier,  take 
the  books,  too.  I'm  $6,500  short." 


She  stood  at  the  teller's  window  in  the 
bank,  a  vision  of  desirable  femininity 
marred  only  by  the  fact  that  the  light  in 
her  baby-blue  eyes  was  more  than  some- 
what vacant.  The  teller  examined  her  and 
the  check  she  wished  to  cash  with  equal 
concentration.  Then  he  asked  her  if  she 
could  identify  herself. 

For  a  moment,  her  lovely  brow  was 
corrugated  by  puzzlement;  then,  her  ex- 
pression brightened,  she  pulled  a  small 
mirror  from  her  handbag,  glanced  in  it 
and  with  relief  said,  "Yes.  It's  me  all 
right."

FED-UP 

A  U.  S.  Postal  Inspector  stopped  by  a 
small  crossroads  community  and  found 
the  post  office  hidden  in  a  dim  corner  of 
a  general  store.  He  didn't  like  that. 

He  also  didn't  like  the  piled-up  heap  of 
yesterday's  mail  and  the  insecurely  wrap- 
ped packages  on  the  cluttered  desk  of  the 
aged  postmaster. 

After  criticizing  the  old  man  sharply, 
he  assured  him  Washington  would  hear 
about  this. 

The  postmaster  gave  the  inspector  an 
icy  look,  shoved  a  half-dozen  3 -cent 
stamps  into  a  cigar  box  and  thrust  it  for- 
ward. 

"Now,  git  out!"  he  thundered.  "Git  out 
and  take  your  danged  post  office  with  you!"

Then  the  congressman  spotted  a  com-

BENICIA  .  .  . 
{Continued  from  Page  3) 

trouble  between  Larkin,  who  lived  in 
Monterey,  and  Semple,  as  it  seems 
that  Larkin  was  not  fulfilling  his  pro- 
mises of  his  part  of  the  bargain.  So 
in  1849,  Wm.  Robinson,  John  S. 
Bradford,  Lansing  Mizner  and  Sem- 
ple formed  a  partnership  and  things 
began  to  pick  up. 

Will  Green,  a  nephew  of  Semple, 
and  John  Semple,  a  son  of  Dr.  Sem- 
ple by  his  first  wife,  arrived  in  Cal- 
ifornia in  October,  1849.  Dr.  Semple 
was  then  at  Monterey  presiding  as 
chairman  of  the  First  Constitutional 
Convention,  so  John  met  him  there, 
and  they  drove  home  in  an  ambu- 
lance, as  Dr.  Semple  was  quite  ill 
with  typhoid  fever.  He  had  attended 
all  but  one  of  the  meetings  however. 
Will  Green  had  gone  to  Benicia  in  a 
small  boat  to  await  the  arrival  of  the 
others.  It  was  to  be  his  job  to  be 
ferry  man  on  the  Lucy  Long.  He 
also,  though  only  seventeen,  carried 
the  mail  in  his  pocket  from  Benicia 
to  Sonoma,  as  there  were  so  few 
homes  in  that  district.  John  Semple 
died  soon  after  arriving,  and  is  bur- 
ied in  the  cemetery  on  top  of  the 
hill  above  Benicia.  Will  left  Beni- 
cia as  pilot  on  the  little  steamer 
Colusa  in  July,  1850,  with  his  uncle, 
Col.  Charles  Semple,  to  found  the 
town  of  Colusa  on  the  Sacramento 
River. 

Bradford  and  Mizner  both  repre- 
sented the  County  in  the  State  Senate. 
Semple  gave  a  strip  of  land  along  the 
waterfront  to  the  town,  in  perpetuum, 
for  harbor  purposes,  and  it  be- 
came known  as  Semple's  slip.  All 
the  river  boats  from  San  Francisco  to 
Sacramento  stopped  at  Benicia  going 
and  coming.  They  were  very  well  pa- 
tronized at  $30  a  trip. 

General  Sherman  visited  the  little 
town  in  1848,  and  came  across  the 
strait  on  the  ferry.  He  said,  "that  if 
half  the  money  and  half  the  labor  had 
been  spent  on  Benicia  as  on  San 
Francisco  we  should  this  day  have  a 
city  of  palaces  on  the  Carquiniz 
straits." 

The  first  family  to  arrive  in  Benicia 
was  that  of  William  L  Tustin.  They 
camped  here  until  Semple  returned 
with  a  load  of  lumber  which  he  had 
intended  for  a  house  for  himself.  The 
second  house  was  built  by  Dr.  Sem- 
ple, one  story,  with  an  attic.  Later  on 

CALIFORNIA  HERALD  ' 


he  built  a  house  that  became  known 
as  the  Mizner  house. 

Lansing  B.  Mizner  probably  be- 
came interested  in  Benicia,  as  his 
mother,  Mrs.  Mary  Stevenson  Miz- 
ner, a  widow,  had  married  the 
brother  of  Robert  Semple,  General 
James  Semple.  Lansing  came  to  Ben- 
icia after  the  Mexican  War,  and  there 
raised  the  family,  of  which  two,  Addi- 
son and  Wilson,  were  to  become  the 
"Legendary  Mizners."  Lansing  Miz- 
ner was  the  presiding  officer  of  the 
California  Senate  for  several  years. 

Later  Semple  built  a  hotel,  called 
the  California  House,  which  was  run 
by  Major  Stephen  Cooper,  who  be- 
came his  father-in-law.  Semple  mar- 
ried Fannie  Cooper  and  they  had  one 
daughter,  Mary  Benicia,  who  was 
thought  to  be  the  first  American 
child  born  in  the  district.  Mary  was 
born  November  22,  1848.  Semple 
built  a  little  adobe,  which  became  the 
first  store,  run  by  a  man  called  Cap- 
tain Edward  H.  Pfister,  where  the 
politicians  used  to  gather  to  discuss 
their  future.  There  were  so  many 
applications  for  lots  that  the  price 
was  raised  from  $20  to  $50. 

Major  Cooper  gave  the  first  Fourth 
of  July  dinner  in  the  State,  at  Benicia, 
and  everyone  was  invited.  The  at- 
tendance was  large  with  Fremont  and 
other  notables  present.  His  daughter, 
Susan,  made  the  first  American  flag 
of  white  and  red  hair  ribbons  and 
strips  of  blue  cotton  from  a  dress. 
The  flag,  which  decorated  the  table 
at  the  celebration,  was  destroyed  in 
the  San  Francisco  fire,  as  it  had  been 
presented  by  the  Major  to  the  Cali- 
fornia Pioneers.  As  was  also  the  or- 
iginal Bear  Flag. 

Among  the  passengers  on  the  Con- 
federacion,  when  it  made  its  last  trip 
to  Benicia  and  lay  there  rotting  for 
years,  was  General  Percifer  F.  Smith, 
and  his  staff.  According  to  an  article 
by  Richard  Demorest,  "But  of  all 
Semple's  achievements,  pro- 
bably none  meant  more  to  the  county 
called  Solano  than  the  masterful  bit 
of  real  estate  promotion  he  pulled 
off  early  in  1849.  What  he  did  was  to 
convince  General  Smith,  then  com- 
manding officer  of  the  Army's  Pacific 
Division,  that  Benicia  would  make  a 
far  better  site  for  a  supply  depot  than 
San  Francisco.  As  a  result,  two  com- 
panies of  the  2nd  Infantry  moved  in 
by  April,  1849,  to  set  up  what  be- 
came known  as  the  Benicia  Barracks. 


Two  years  later  ground  was  broken 
at  the  same  spot  for  the  Army's  Pa- 
cific Ordnance  arsenal."  This  is  the 
barracks  the  government  has  ordered 
abandoned,  but  I  believe  the  order 
has  been  temporarily  rescinded. 

In  1852  the  Legislature  met  in 
Vallejo,  but  were  not  satisfied  with 
the  accomodations.  In  1853  they 
moved  to  Benicia  where  they  met  in 
the  City  Hall  which  was  built  late  in 

1852,  and   finished   on   January   4, 

1853.  There  is  a  tablet  on  the  Beni- 
cia City  Hall  to  commemorate  the 
time  when  Benicia  was  the  State  Ca- 
pitol in  1853-1854.  There  were  61 
Assemblymen  and  28  Senators  in  the 
fourth  session.  Among  the  Assembly- 
men was  Horace  Carpentier,  Oak- 
land's founder;  B.  B.  Redding  of 
Sierra  and  Yuba  Counties,  later  Land 
Agent  for  the  Southern  Pacific  Rail- 
road; James  W.  Coffroth  of  Tuo- 
lumne, father  of  the  famous  prize- 
fighter James  Coffroth,  who  also  be- 
came a  horse  racing  promoter. 

The  early  inns  of  Benicia  were 
the  St.  Charles,  the  Union  Hotel  and 
the  Washington  Hotel.  Cooper's  Cal- 
ifornia House  later  became  the  Brew- 
ery Club.  There  was  a  Solano  Hotel, 
where  Gen.  U.  S.  Grant  stayed,  and 
also  Gen.  Sherman. 

The  old  City  Hall,  once  the  State 
Capitol,  is  now  a  major  historic 
monument.  The  Legislature  voted 
$230,000  for  its  restoration.  The  re- 
storation is  authentic,  with  chairs, 
desks,  benches  reproduced  as  nearly 
as  possible  as  in  the  days  when  the 
State  Legislature  met  there.  The 
floors  are  of  heavy  pine,  the  chande- 
liers and  wall  lighting  are  replicas, 
though  electric  rather  than  kerosene 
lamps. 

There  were  many  boarding  schools 
in  Benicia  in  the  early  days,  among 
them  Mills  Seminary  for  Young  Lad- 
ies, which  later  became  Mills  College 
in  Oakland.  The  Dominican  Sisters 
built  a  large  school  in  the  early  '50's, 


which  is  .still  being  used.  A  novitiate 
for  Dominican  priests  was  built  there 
shortly  after  the  town  was  formed, 
but  the  old  building  is  now  gone.  In 
the  Dominican  cemetery  on  the  hill, 
the  heroine  of  a  famous  old  love 
story  of  the  early  days,  Concepcion 
Arguella,  is  buried.  The  old  Masonic 
Hall,  built  by  Semple  is  still  in  use. 
Gertrude  Atherton,  the  famous  writ- 
er, had  her  early  education  in  Benicia. 
Dr.  Semple  left  Benicia  to  take  up 
ranching  in  Colusa  County  with  his 
nephew,  Will  Semple  Green.  This 
was  in  1853.  He  died  in  an  accident 
on  October  25,  1854,  near  Colusa. 
He  was  accustomed  to  riding  a  mild- 
mannered  Mexican  pony,  and  when 
he  changed,  due  to  weariness  of  pony, 
to  a  more  excitable  horse,  he  was 
evidently  thrown  from  it  and  killed. 
This  was  the  story  as  told  by  14-year- 
old  "Bent"  Cooper.  Dr.  Semple  was 
buried  on  his  ranch,  but  when  it  was 
sold,  the  body  was  moved  and  is  now 
in  the  cemetery  in  Williams,  Colusa 
County. 

When  the  largest  ferry  boat  in  the 
world,  the  Solano,  was  taking  trains 
and  passengers  through  Benicia,  there 
were  great  hopes  for  the  little  town, 
but  the  train  bridge  carried  the  trains 
of  the  main  lines  far  away  from  the 
town,  and  started  a  period  of  stand- 
still for  the  growth  of  the  town.  It  is 
to  be  hoped  that  the  beautiful  loca- 
tion of  Benicia  on  the  shores  of  San 
Francisco  Bay,  the  wide  new  high- 
ways into  the  town,  its  share  of  the 
new  population,  and  also  that  the  Ar- 
senal will  stay,  will  keep  the  one 
hundred  and  fourteen  year  old  city  a 
part  of  California's  glorious  past,  and 
make  it  fulfill  the  dream  of  its  found- 
er, Robert  Semple,  that  it  would  be 
the  "metropolis  of  the  West"  !!!

It's  four  long  years  since  I  reached 

this  land, 
In  search  of  gold  among  the  rocks 

and  sand; 
And  yet  I'm  poor  when  the  truth  is 

told. 


I'm  a  lousy  miner, 

I'm  a  lousy  miner  in  search  of 

shining  gold. 
Oh,  land  of  gold,  you  did  me  deceive. 
And  I  intended  in  thee  my  bones  to 

leave 
So  farewell,  home  now  my  friends 

grow  cold 
I'm  a  lousy  miner, 
I'm  a  lousy  miner  in  search  of 

shining  gold.

"Westward  the  course  of  empire

SIIH^HESE    WERE    THE    WORDS    which

for  the  City  of  Berkeley,  the  home  of 
the  world's  largest  university.  George 
Berkeley,  Bishop  of  Cloyne,  wrote 
this  poem  when  he  sailed  for  Rhode 
Island  in  1726  with  the  ultimate  aim 
of  forming  a  college  in  the  Bermudas 
and  extending  its  benefits  to  the 
American    colonists.    One    hundred 

AUGUST,  1962 


forty  years  later  these  verses  came  to 
the  mind  of  a  trustee  of  the  College 
of  California,  who  along  with  others, 
was  seeking  a  suitable  name  for  the 
college  town. 

Dr.  Samuel  H.  Willey,  one  of  the 
founders  and  the  acting  head  of  Cal- 
ifornia College  and  later  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  University  of  Calif- 
ornia, arrived  at  San  Francisco  in 
1849  on  the  "California",  the  first 
steamship  to  come  to  the  west  coast. 
He  was  one  of  the  first  four  commis- 
sioned Protestant  missionaries  to 
California.  He  became  a  leader  in 
pioneer  religious  and  educational 
work.  The  old  Willey  house  located 
on  Dwight  Way  above  College  Ave- 
nue, was  built  in  1865,  the  first  town 


house  in  Berkeley.  In  this  house  the 
name  "Berkeley"  was  first  discussed 
as  being  appropriate  for  the  new  col- 
lege town. 

The  time  was  May,  1866,  accord- 
ing to  Mrs.  A.  B.  Pray  of  Berkeley, 
daughter  of  Dr.  Willey,  who  when  a 
young  girl  served  the  luncheon  and 
remembers  the  occasion  well.  Dr. 
Willey  had  invited  as  luncheon 
guests  the  trustees  and  professors  of 
the  college.  They  all  came  out  from 
Oakland  in  new  surreys  hired  at  the 
livery  stable  of  Shattuck  and  Hille- 
C'ss,  pioneer  residents  of  the  East 
Bay,  on  Seventh  Street  in  Oakland. 

During  the  luncheon,  various  sug- 
gestions were  made  for  the  name  of 
the  coming  town  which  all  recogniz- 
ed would  be  established  as  soon  as 
the  College  of  California  was  moved 
to  its  new  site  at  the  junction  of 
Strawberry  and  Blackberry  Creeks. 
This  school  had  first  been  established 
in  Oakland  in  1853  as  the  Contra 
Costa  Academy.  It  was  chartered  as 
a  college  in  1855  and  became  a  part 
of  the  university  when  the  latter  was 
established  by  the  state  legislature 
March  23,  1868.  The  site  for  the 
new  university  was  chosen  by  the 
board  of  trustees  of  the  College  of 
California,  after  a  careful  search  of 
the  country  by  Dr.  Horace  Bushnell, 
eminent  theologian  of  Connecticut, 
and  by  the  trustees. 

Naturally  it  was  of  great  import- 
ance that  this  new  site  should  bear 
an  appropriate  name.  It  is  said  that 
Frederick  Billings,  an  attorney  and 
also  one  of  the  college  trustees,  had 
the  inspiration  for  the  name  one  day 
as  he  stood  on  "Founders  Rock"  (as 
it  is  now  called)  looking  toward  the 
bay.  The  lines  of  Berkeley's  poem 
came  to  his  mind  and  he  thought  of 
the  entire  appropriateness  of  naming 
this  far  western  spot  for  their  author. 
It  was  he  who  proposed  the  name  of 
Berkeley  at  the   luncheon  that  day. 

In  the  home  of  Dr.  Willey  also 
was  formed  the  first  city  government 
of  Berkeley.  The  city  thus  owes  its 
existence  to  the  College  of  California 
and  to  the  prime  promoters  of  the 
University  who  were  also  the  build- 
ers of  the  town.

fVf/  EVADA  City  has  a  picturesque 
setting  in  the  foothills  of  the 
Sierra  Nevada  mountains.  Here  in 
the  years  of  1848  and  1849  the 
pioneers  came  in  search  of  gold. 
They  selected  a  town  site  on  the 
seven  hills  that  sloped  down  to  a 
creek  which  ran  through  the  center 
of  the  community.  Here  the  miners 
set  up  their  activities  for  seeking  the 
golden  treasure. 


frame  buildings  were  gradually  re- 
placed by  durable,  more  fire  proof 
brick  structures  with  iron  shutters 
and  doors.  Many  of  these  are  still 
standing  and  are  in  use  as  business 
houses.  One  of  these  two  story  build- 
ings was  the  Pythian  Castle  now 
known  as  CaUfornia  Hall. 

In  those  early  days  people  did  not 
live  by  the  "Push-button"  technique.

View  of  Nevada  City  showing  Sugar  Loaf,  one  of  its  seven  hills. 


The  town  was  first  known  as  Deer 
Creek  Dry  Diggings  but  in  March, 
1850  the  settlers  gave  it  its  present 
name  of  Nevada  City.  Like  Rome 
the  town  was  built  on  seven  hills. 
These  bore  the  names  of  Piety,  Pros- 
pect, Aristocracy,  Wet,  Least,  Ce- 
ment and  Sugar  Loaf.  The  streets' 
names  were  Biblical:  Zion,  Cross, 
Calvary,  Jordan,  Gethsemane,  and 
Tribulation  Trail.  A  steep  set  of 
stairs  which  were  used  as  a  short  cut 
between  two  streets  were  called  Ja- 
cob's Ladder.  These  names  have 
never  been  changed  through  the  long 
years. 

Nevada  City  was  destroyed  by 
fire  many  times  but  the  pioneers 
courageously  rebuilt  it.  The  wooden 

PAGE  4 


were  lighted  with  kerosene  lamps. 
These  lamps  had  to  be  often  refilled 
with  oil.  The  chimneys  had  to  be 
washed  and  polished.  This  was  quite 
a  task.  Then,  too,  the  wicks  had  to 
be  properly  trimmed  so  that  they 
would  not  smudge  the  chimneys. 
When  the  rooms  were  used  for  ban- 
quets, all  the  necessary  articles  for 
setting  the  tables  had  to  be  carried 
from  their  homes  by  the  ladies.  They 
also  carried  the  food.  This,  too,  was 
an  arduous  task  for  the  streets  were 
not  paved.  The  sidewalks  were 
made  of  boards.  Many  had  to  travel 
over  dirt  trails  that  were  either  dusty 
or  muddy.  In  winter  the  snow  paths 
were  packed  down  by  the  feet  of  the 
miners  on  their  way  to  work  and  the 


children  bound  for  school.  Street 
lights  were  dim.  To  guide  their  foot- 
steps over  the  trails,  lanterns  lighted 
by  candles  were  carried.  These  pio- 
neers were  a  sturdy  group  and  their 
courage  was  never  daunted  by  these 
hardships.  When  a  group  from  Man- 
zanita,  a  neighboring  parlor  wished 
to  visit  Laurel,  they  chartered  a  train 
on  the  Nevada  County  narrow  guage 
railroad  to  come  to  Nevada  City. 

Dances  were  held  in  a  large  build- 
ing with  a  spring  floor  built  in  1870 
for  a  skating  rink.  Later  the  building 
was  used  as  the  Armory  for  Nevada 
City's  Company  C  of  the  National 
Guard.  A  large  canvas  was  purchas- 
ed to  cover  the  floor  for  dancing. 
The  Grand  Ball  held  on  New  Year's 
Eve  was  looked  upon  as  the  social 
highlight  of  the  season.  The  ceiling 
was  covered  with  blue  cheese  cloth 
with  stars;  the  walls  were  festooned 
with  evergreen  and  ropes  of  smilax 
and  flowers,  making  a  beautiful  set- 
ting for  the  lovely  gowned  ladies 
in  attendance. 

Nevada  City  has  contributed  sev- 
eral men  who  have  risen  high  in 
public  office.  Aaron  A.  Sargent  serv- 
ed as  U.  S.  Senator  and  U.  S.  Min- 
ister to  Germany.  Niles  Searls  was 
appointed  Chief  Justice  to  the  Cal- 
ifornia Supreme  Court  and  thereafter 
served  as  commissioner.  John 
R.  McConnell  was  the  Attorney 
General  of  this  state.  William  R. 
Stewart  became  a  U.  S.  Senator.  Ed- 
ward Myers  Preston  served  as  a 
State  Senator  and  introduced  a  bill 
for  the  establishment  of  a  reforma- 
tory for  wayward  boys  where  they 
could  learn  useful  trades.  The  legis- 
lature not  only  passed  the  bill  but 
also  named  the  school  established 
under  it  'The  Preston  School  of  In- 
dustry." 

Little  Emma  Wixon  (Emma  Ne- 
vada the  famous  prima  dona)  was 
born  at  Alpha,  a  few  miles  from  Ne- 
vada City.  As  a  child  she  lived  here 
and  was  well  known  in  the  Nevada 
City  area.  Her  father.  Dr.  Wixon, 
moved  later  to  the  state  of  Nevada.

When  she  became  a  great  singer, 
Emma  Wixon  adopted  the  name  of

1902  when  she  was  on  concert  tour 
in  the  United  States,  a  concert  was 
scheduled  for  San  Francisco.  Im- 
mediately upon  learning  this.  Laurel 
Parlor  extended  an  invitation  for  her 
to  give  a  concert  in  Nevada  City. 
She  graciously  accepted  the  invita- 
tion to  return  to  her  old  home.  The 
city  brass  band  met  her  incoming 
train.  When  she  heard  the  strains  of 
"Home  Sweet  Home"  joyous  tears 
filled  her  eyes.  Her  suite  at  the  Na- 
tional Hotel  was  a  bower  of  flowers 
arranged  by  members  of  the  Parlor 
and  Mrs.  Rector,  wife  of  the  owner 
of  the  National  Hotel.  A  dinner 
was  held  at  the  hotel  in  her  honor 
and  that  night  the  theatre  was  pack- 
ed to  capacity.  Tours  were  arranged 
for  her  to  her  home  site  in  Alpha 
and  to  the  Baptist  church  where  at 
the  age  of  3  years  she  had  sung  the 
National  Anthem.  At  Grass  Valley 
she  received  a  very  special  welcome. 
Years  later  Emma  Nevada  wrote  a 
letter    to    Laurel    Parlor    from    her

home  in  Europe  and  expressed  ap- 
preciation for  the  welcome  when  she 
sang  in  her  old  home  area. 

It  was  in  the  year  1887  that  a 
group  of  young  women  became 
deeply  interested  in  a  new  organiza- 
tion called  the  Native  Daughters  of 
the  Golden  West  which  had  been 
founded  in  Jackson,  Amador  County 
the  year  before  by  Lilly  O.  Reich- 
ling.  Four  other  Parlors  had  already 
been  instituted  and  the  young  women 
of  Nevada  City  desired  to  have  a 
Parlor  also.  So  on  March  30,  1887 
under  the  leadership  of  Lizzie  Naf- 
fizgar,  24  young  native  born  Cali- 
fornia women  met  in  Pythian  Castle 
to  discuss  the  subject  of  founding  a 
Parlor.  Plans  were  laid  and  informa- 
tion obtained  from  the  Mother  Par- 
lor, Ursula  No.  1.  After  receiving 
the  necessary  information  concern- 
ing the  requirements,  they  preceded 
to  make  arrangements.  Four  other 
names  were  added  to  the  group  that 
composed  the  Charter  list.  The  Par- 


lor was  formally  instituted  by  Hattie 
Grcenlatch  and  Flora  Dunning  on 
April    13,    1887  with  a  membership 


Trinity  Episcopal  Church  on  the  site 

of   Caldwell's    Upper   Store,   site   of 

origin  of  Nevada  City.

cal Society  Museum  and  contains  one

fornia. 


of  28.  The  president-elect  Lena 
Locklin  and  her  corps  of  officers 
were  installed  by  Lilly  O.  Reichling 
who  received  $10  for  her  services. 
The  minutes  of  the  evening  were  re- 
corded and  stated:  "We  are  organi- 
zed to  stimulate  love  of  home,  vener- 
ation of  the  pioneers  and  an  abiding 
faith  in  the  existence  of  God." 
The  Parlor  was  the  sixth  in  the 
State  to  be  organized.  Laurel  was 
chosen  as  its  name.  Laurel  grew 
rapidly  and  became  the  largest  in 
the  State  with  over  200  members. 
Ihc  second  president  was  Lizzie 
Naffizgar  who  was  also  the  Deputy 
Cirand  President  in  1888. 

Laurel's  meetings  were  also  look- 
ed forward  to  for  there  was  always 
interesting  business,  Parlor  activities,

fHiNKiNG  of  Auntie  and  the  past, 
I've  often  choked  in  Spanish  as 
well  as  English.  My  own  con- 
nection with  her  "other  days"  was 
unique. 

I  was,  for  years,  the  only  blonde 
in  the  family  —  a  little  outsider. 
Because  of  my  fair  hair  and  green 
eyes,  she  would  call  me  "Chivita 
Blanca",  meaning  in  Spanish,  Little 
\Vhite  Lamb.  Whenever  I  made  a 
mistake,  slipped  in  the  performance 
of  a  little  duty,  she  would  say.  "Poor 
little  thing!  With  that  light  head,  she 
knows  no  better." 

If  1  stumbled,  or  bumped  into 
something,  and  got  hurt,  it  was 
"Poor  little  thing!  With  her  faded 
eyes,  she  can't  see  things." 

PACE  6 


Not  in  unkindness,  and  not  often 
were  these  Auntie's  remarks.  But, 
of  over-interested  relatives,  and  I  had 
plenty,  believe  me,  "Chivita  Blanca" 
was  always  on  the  spot. 

1  was  in  my  early  teens,  when  I 
went  to  live  in  the  palatial  Baker 
suite  in  the  Baker  Block  —  that 
noble  edifice.  (Now  torn  down,  to 
make  way  for  Los  Angeles  pro- 
gress. ) 

One  of  her  first  admonitions  has 
come  to  seem  most  precious,  though 
at  the  time,  I  wondered  why  she 
said,  "1  must  remember  always  that 
1  came  from  a  family  of  beautiful 
women;  that  I  personally  had  nothing 
to  do  with  it;  that  when  God  gave  me 
my  looks,  He  gave  me  my  Soul,  and 
the  will  to  develop  it.

There  were  three  things  that  I 
must  always  do,  keep  myself  clean 
mentally,  morally  and  physically. 
That  beauty  is  a  gift,  for  others  to 
enjoy  looking  at  and  I  was  only  its 
keeper. 

i         i         i 

And  as  its  keeper.  Auntie  Baker 
had  the  pleasure  of  knowing  her 
"Chivita  Blanca"  did  as  she  had  been 
told,  because,  in  August,  1903,  with- 
out my  knowledge,  or  even  having 
seen  me  in  person,  but  from  a  profile 
picture  seen  at  Webster's  photo- 
graphers, taken  while  I  was  at  the 
Sacred  Heart  Convent  in  Oakland, 
the  San  Francisco  Bulletin  awarded 
me  a  beautiful  Princess  setting  dia- 
mond ring. 

Mr.  Fremont  Older,  editor,  gave 
me  this  ring  at  his  office  later.  Since 
I  had  been  ill,  in  fact,  was  in  the 
California  Hospital  in  Los  Angeles, 
to  have  an  inflamed  appendix  remov- 
ed. 

So  you  can  guess  my  surprise, 
when,  at  visiting  time  one  Sunday, 
in  comes  Aunt  Dora  all  breathless, 
and  agog  with  excitement  over  the 
newspaper  in  her  hand. 

Yes,  sir!  There  it  was  on  the  front 
page  —  a  picture  of  me,  plus  two 
others.  The  other  two  had  beautiful, 
full  face  pictures.  Me?  —  I  was  in 
profile. 

Mr.  Putnam,  (many  old  timers 
will  remember  him,  as  he  was  mar- 
ried to  a  Miss  Grace  Story,  a  San 
Diego  girl),  a  sculptor,  and  two 
other  artists,  painters  Cardonisi  and 
Sandoni  were  the  three  judges. 

I  was  only  seventeen  years  of  age. 
My  ring,  1  later  gave  to  my  son  (as 
he  had  always  claimed  it  with  its 
twenty-three  diamonds)  when  he 
brought  his  prospective  bride  home 
to  break  his  news.

IJesolved,  That  this  Grand  Par- 
lor recommends  this  committee  to 
the  special  attention  of  each  and 
every  Subordinate  Parlor  in  the  State, 
and  to  the  organizations  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West,  the 
Pioneers  and  Sons  of  Pioneers,  to 
the  honorable  body,  the  Legislature 
of  the  State  of  California,  and  to  the 
Governor  of  the  State  of  California 
.  .  .  And  further,  every  delegate  to 
this  Grand  Parlor  is  earnestly  re- 
quested to  do  everything  in  his  pow- 
er to  assist  this  committee  in  secur- 
ing the  cooperation  of  his  Parlor  in 
raising  the  required  funds  for  this 
work." 

The  development  of  the  activity  in 
support  of  Home  Industries  received 
recognition  from  the  Manufacturers' 
and  Producers'  Association  of  Cali- 
fornia, who  congratulated  Grand 
Parlor  for  its  patriotic  action  in 
adopting  resolutions  "looking  to  the 
development  of  industries  of  the 
State  and  providing  for  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  committee  of  the  Grand 
Parlor  to  cooperate  with  this  and 
other  organizations  in  this  important 
work  .  .  .  We  especially  congratulate 
you  upon  resolving  to  employ  means 
to  bring  about  a  greater  home  con- 
sumption of  home  products.  In  its 
natural  and  manufactured  products 
our  State  promises  to  occupy  a  most 
important  position  and  in  no  manner 
can  its  industries  receive  greater  en- 
couragement than  by  the  increased 
use  of  our  products  by  the  people  of 
the  State  .  .  .  The  women  of  the  State 
upon  whom  generally  devolves  the 
purchase  of  articles  of  household  use, 
may  assuredly  exercise  a  vast  influ- 
ence in  this  respect.  .  .  .  The  people 
of  the  entire  State  will  applaud  you 
and  will  support  your  efforts  as  this 
Association  will." 

Dr.  Mariana  Bertola  introduced  a 
Resolution,  which  was  adopted  by 
Grand  Parlor:  "That  'Flag  Day'  shall 
be  observed  once  a  year  in  all  Sub- 
ordinate Parlors  with  appropriate 
ceremonies,  and  that  such  Flag  Day 
shall  be  on  the  first  meeting  day  of 

AUGUST,  1962 


ouan 


pati   12 


October."  The  Grand  Secretary 
stated  she  wished  to  indorse  this  reso- 
lution, because  the  idea  of  a  Flag 
Day  in  the  Native  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West  was  first  introduced 
by  a  resolution  from  Amapola  Parlor 
at  Woodland,  1898.  (1898  Proceed- 
ings, page  137.) 


A  further  resolution  was  adopted 
that  Grand  Parlor  communicate  with 
City  and  County  Superintendents, 
asking  them  to  observe  "Flag  Day" 
once  a  month  in  our  public  schools. 

The  first  reference  to  a  "Birth 
Book"  appears  in  the  1902  Proceed- 
ings. A  resolution  was  introduced  by 
Grand  Vice  President  Eliza  D.  Keith, 
its  adoption  moved  by  Past  Grand 
President  Conrad  and  seconded  by 
Past  Grand  President  Gett,  and 
adopted  by  Grand  Parlor:  "That 
each  Subordinate  Parlor  be  invited 
to  keep  a  'birth  book'  in  which  shall 
be  enrolled  all  the  children,  natives 
of  California,  bom  to  the  members 
of  that  Parlor,  with  the  date  and 
place  of  nativity,  and  be  it  further 

"Resolved  that  the  Subordinate 
Parlors  be  invited  to  give  the  children 
thus  enrolled  an  annual  birthday 
party,  with  a  view  to  impressing  them 
with  their  right  to  belong  to  the  Or- 
ders of  either  Native  Sons  or  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West." 


(I  have  not  yet  read  all  of  the  pro- 
ceedings, indeed  I  have  only  recently 
received  a  complete  set,  which  has 
delayed  the  completion  of  this  pro- 
ject; therefore  I  do  not  yet  have  the 
full  picture  on  this  and  many  of  the 
other  projects  started  during  the  early 
years  of  our  organization.  There  are 
further  references  to  the  "Birth  Book" 
in  those  proceedings  which  I  have 
read,  and  apparently  the  parlors  did 
maintain  these  records  for  many 
years.  In  fact,  I  believe  several  par- 
lors still  do;  it  would  be  interestmg 
to  hear  from  them.  Evidently  the 
practice  was  discontinued  some  time 
later,  and  no  doubt  an  account  will 
appear  in  succeeding  Proceedings.) 

Further  discussion  was  held  re- 
garding the  Caminetti  Death  Burial 
Fund.  It  was  stated  that  the  Subordni- 
ate  Parlors  had  not  yet  fully  discussed 
the  "Grand  Parlor  Fund  for  Funerals" 
and  were  not  prepared  to  take  a  de- 
cisive stand  in  the  matter.  Sister 
Caminetti  was  asked  to  present  her 
plan  again  for  the  consideration  of 
the   Subordinate   Parlors.

Greetings!  The  month  of  August 
will  be  a  busy  month  for  many  of  the 
subordinate  Parlors.  Their  new  corps 
of  officers  will  have  been  mstalled 
and  new  plans  will  start  to  take  effect. 
They  stand  upon  the  threshold  of  a 
new  term  laden  with  high  hopes.  Let 
us  give  them  our  support  and  assist- 
ance. Let  us  work  in  close  harmony 
not  only  to  increase  membership  but 
also  to  retain  membership. 

Six  Parlors  will  celebrate  their 
75th  Anniversaries  this  term.  Eschol 
No.  16  of  Napa  will  be  the  first.  July 
28  is  the  date.  I  am  looking  forward 
to  attending  the  Pre-Fiesta  Tea  in 
Santa  Barbara  on  July  22.  The  Santa 
Barbara  Fiesta  will  be  held  from 
August  15  thru  18.  If  you  have  not 
attended  one  of  these  Fiestas  I  hope 
you  will  make  an  effort  to  do  so.  The 
true  early  California  spirit  and  hos- 
pitality prevails  and  one  travels  home- 
ward with  a  renewed  desire  to  pre- 
serve our  Cahfomia  Heritage. 

I  am  also  looking  forward  to 
greeting  you  at  the  Official  Visits  and 
would  like  to  close  with  this  poem: 

"It  is  fine  to  say  'good  morning'; 

It  is  great  to  say  'hello', 

But  it's  better  still  to  grasp  the 

hands 
Of  the  loyal  friends  you  know; 
For  the  look  may  be  forgotten, 
The  words  misunderstood. 
But  just  the  touch  of  a  friendly 

I  hand 

j  Is  the  pledge  of  sisterhood."

PAST  GR.\ND  PRESIDENTS 

Twenty  two  Past  Grand  Presidents 
enjoyed  their  annual  re-union  at  din- 
ner in  the  Terrace  Room  of  the  Pros- 
pector's Village,  Oroville,  on  Monday 

AUGUST,.  1962 


evening,  June  18.  The  table  decora- 
tions were  in  compliment  to  the 
locale.  A  three  foot  long  replica  of  the 
first  suspension  bridge  in  California, 
over  the  Feather  River  and  known 
as  the  Bidwell  Bar  Bridge,  graced 
the  head  table.  The  Mother  Orange 
Tree,  the  maternal  progenitor  of 
many  thousands  of  orange  trees  in 
California,  was  at  one  end  of  the 
bridge  and  the  Toll  House  at  the 
other. 

The  occasion  also  feted  Past  Grand 
President  Florence  Boyle  who  was 
celebrating  her  25th  year  as  Grand 
President,  having  presided  at  San 
Jose,  June,  1937.  Past  Grand  Presi- 
dent Irma  Laird  presided  and  pre- 
sented the  honored  guest  with  "pay 
dirt"  taken  from  under  the  Toll 
House.  The  silver  dollars  were  in  a 
well  worn  canvas  bag  from  the 
Bureau  of  Mines.  Mrs.  Boyle  re- 
sponded graciously  and  gave  a  fine 
historical  talk  on  the  Suspension 
Bridge  and  Mother  Orange  Tree.

lor presented  two  beautiful  silk  flags

During  the  decade  covered  by  the 
1960  census,  almost  twice  as  many 
people  moved  into  California  as  into 
any  other  state.  The  actual  net  migra- 
tion figure  was  3.1  million  persons. 
Florida  was  second  with  1.6  million. 
The  three  fastest  growing  metropoli- 
tan areas  are  San  Jose,  San  Diego 
and  Sacramento.

Jesse  Block  and  his  wife.  Eve  Sully,  the 
vaudeville  stars,  returned  to  their  dressing 
room  at  the  Palladium  in  London  to  find 
a  thief  had  taken  their  jewelry. 

They  called  Scotland  Yard  and  a  de- 
tective arrived  complete  with  derby,  pipe 
and  umbrella.  He  questioned  everyone  so 
thoroughly  there  was  no  doubt  in  anyone's 
mind  the  jewels  would  soon  be  recovered. 

The  following  day  there  was  a  phone 
call.  "Mr.  Block,  this  is  Inspector  Gray 
of   Scotland   Yard." 

"Yes,  yes,"  answered  Block.  "You've 
found  our  jewels?" 

"No  —  but  have  you  found  my  um- 
brella? I  think  I  left  it  in  your  dressing 
room."

cordial  hospitality,  good  fellowship 
programs  and  refreshments.  The  offi- 
cers did  their  work  efficiently  as  they 
had  to  learn  the  ritualistic  work  be- 
fore they  were  installed.  The  Deput- 
ies were  very  strict  and  if  necessary 
did  much  coaching  until  the  officer- 
elect  had  the  work  perfect. 


the  'Last  Day  of  School."  Another 
was  a  burlesque  on  the  Native  Son's 
meeting.  The  ladies  taking  part  were 
in  full  male  attire.  In  1898  Laurel 
presented  an  entertainment  at  the 
theatre  for  the  benefit  of  the  GAR.  It 
proved  to  be  more  of  a  social  and 
financial  success  than  was  ever  an- 
ticipated. 

A  piece  of  land  across  from  the 
National  Hotel  was  purchased  by  the 


National  Hotel,  oldest  in  continuous  use  in  California. 


Soon  after  its  institution,  Laurel 
Parlor  became  the  civic  and  social 
leader  in  Nevada  City,  never  over- 
looking any  opportuinty  to  take  the 
leadership  in  any  activity  that  was 
for  the  benefit  of  the  city.  The 
Young  Men's  Social  Club  turned 
over  its  activities  to  Laurel  Parlor 
which  continued  for  many  years. 

Laurel  Parlor  No.  6  and  Hydrau- 
lic Parlor  No.  56  NSGW  for  many 
years  held  an  annual  reception  and 
dinner  for  the  pioneers.  There  was 
always  a  splendid  program  and  din- 
ner. Invitations  by  card  were  looked 
forward  to.  Transportation  was  al- 
ways provided  for  those  needing  it. 
These  reunions  of  pioneers  and 
friends  in  later  years  were  discon- 
tinued due  to  the  infirmities  of  the 
few  remaining  pioneers. 

Laurel's  first  Mother's  Day  party 
was  for  Granny  Huson  in  1806. 
Since  then,  a  Mother's  Day  party  has 
been  held  each  year.  Each  mother 
receives  a  corsage,  oldest  and  young- 
est mothers  receiving  gifts. 

Nellie  Clark,  the  Parlor's  fine  re- 
cording secretary,  arranged  many  of 
the   programs.   One   clever   one   was

Parlor.  Lawns,  trees  and  shrubs  were 
planted  and  it  was  maintained  as  a 
park  for  many  years  but  the  cost 
was  heavy  so  they  sold  it.  It  is  now 
a  city  park. 

During  the  war.  Laurel's  members 
were  busy  with  Red  Cross  nursing 
courses.  They  made  surgical  gar- 
ments, rolled  bandages,  knitted 
sweaters  and  socks.  One  member 
made  over  400  hand  made  button 
holes  and  sewed  on  the  same  number 
of  buttons.  They  sold  bonds  and 
worked  wherever  necessary. 

Laurel's  members  always  marched 
to  the  cemeteries  in  the  civic  parade 
held  on  May  30,  attended  the  me- 
morial service  at  the  GAR  plot  and 
placed  flowers  on  the  graves  of  the 
pioneers,  soldiers  and  departed  mem- 
bers. The  custom  has  now  been  dis- 
continued. 

Throughout  the  years  the  Parlor 
has  made  donations  to  the  Red 
Cross,  Children's  Agencies,  Boy 
and  Girl  Scouts,  Christmas  Seals, 
Guide  Dogs  for  the  Blind,  Cheer

according  to  its  'full  cash  value,'

face  confiscatory  taxation  upon 
structures  which  they  cannot  destroy 
or  modify  if  within  a  historic  area, 
and 

"Whereas  both  houses  of  the  legis- 
lature at  the  1961  session  unamious- 
ly  approved  Senate  Constitutional

pear on  the  ballot  at  the  November 
6,  1962  general  election  as  Proposi- 
tion 1 1 ,  and 

"Whereas  under  this  constitutional 
amendment,  certified  historic  build- 
ings within  authorized  historic  areas 
must  not  be  taxed  on  the  basis  of 
their  use  during  any  given  year;  the 
legislature  safeguarding  the  public 
from  any  tax  abuse,  having  provided 
that  oil,  gas  and  mineral  rights  must 
be  fully  taxed,

Naturally,  I  was  happy  over  Jer- 
ome and  Kathleen's  happiness. 

As  for  me,  I  am  content,  because 
Auntie  Baker  was  so  well  pleased, 
and  1  know,  anyone  can  be  clean 
mentally,  morally  and  physically, 
because  by  standing  straight,  you 
can  also  be  photogenic. 

I  know  this  to  be  true  and  I  get  a 
real  laugh  at  myself,  because,  honest- 
ly at  sixty  odd,  they  still  notice  me.
