Without  gas?  To  get 
the  facts,  we  compared 
utility  costs  of  typical

electricity  with  homes 
using  only  electricity. 
The  average  cost  was 


560  a  week  more  for

( thirty  thousand)  acre  Rancho 
granted  in  1828  to  Don  Francisco 
Sepulveda,  and  on  which  stands 
entirely  the  original  "townsite"  of 
Santa  Monica,  as  officially  recorded 


in  1875,  was  recently  designated  a 
California  Historical  Landmark  by 
Beverly  Hills  Parlor,  Native  Daugh- 
ters of  the  Golden  West. 

The  "marking"  ceremony  took 
place  in  Santa  Monica's  City  Hali 
Council    Chamber,    where    Mrs. 


Air  view  of  the  beautiful  city  of  Santa  Monica,  a  major  portion  of  w/iic/t 
stands  on  historic  Ranclio  San  Vicente  y  Santa  Monica,  granted  in  IS28  to 
Don  Francisco  Sepulveda.  Tlie  ranclio  site  was  'marked"  hv  Beverlv  Hills 
Parlor,  NDGW. 


SEPTEMBER,  1970 


Arthur  (Erlinda  Sepulveda)  East- 
man, parlor  president,  on  behalf  of 
Beverly  Hills  Parlor,  formally  pre- 
sented to  Mayor  Herbert  A.  Spurgin, 
of  Santa  Monica,  a  bronze  plaque. 
The  wording  on  the  plaque  will  serve 
as  a  reminder  that  the  busy  and 
prosperous  city  by  the  sea  possesses 
a  rich,  historical  background.  Mrs. 
Eastman  is  a  great-great  grand- 
daughter of  Don  Francisco  Sepul- 
veda, whose  memory  as  a  very 
early-day  Southern  California 
settler,  and  original  grantee  of 
Rancho  San  Vicente  y  Santa  Monica 
142  years  ago.  was  honored  that 
night. 

The  historical  plaque  was  per- 
manently secured  to  the  west  wall 
of  the  spacious  rotunda  in  the  City 
Hall.  In  keeping  with  the  "'early 
California"  theme,  the  plaque  was 
placed  next  to  a  colorful  full-length 
mural  depicting  Don  Caspar  de 
Portola  and  several  members  of  his 
historically  famous  expedition  of 
1769,  seeking  the  Bay  of  Monterey, 
traveling  along  a  wilderness  path, 
presumably  near  what  is  now  Santa 
Monica. 

Portola  and  his  men,  weary  from 
their  arduous  trek  up  from  Baja 
California,  did  camp  for  several  days 
under  huge  sycamore  trees  shading 
several  sparkling  springs,  just  east  of

Santa  Monica.  The  springs  that  arc 
found  now  on  the  beautiful  campus 
of  the  present-day  University  High 
School  in  West  Los  Angeles,  it  is 
believed  by  historians,  could  well  be 
those  same  springs  of  delicious  water, 
in  surroundings  described  so  clearly 
by  the  brilliant  diarist.  Father  Juan 
Crespi,  who  accompanied  the  Portola 
expedition  and  kept  a  most  remark- 
able day-by-day  diary  of  the  176'^ 
exploring  expedition. 

One  of  the  springs  on  the  campus 
already  has  been  "marked"  by  a 
local  chapter  of  the  Daughters  of  the 
American  Revolution.  It  is  known 
as  "Father  Serra  Springs,"  accord- 
ing to  the  plaque  attached  to  the 
side  of  the  spring.  Some  California 
historians  have  stated  that  Father 
Junipero  Serra  had  been  advised  by 
members  of  the  Portola  expedition 
about  the  springs  and  the  serene 
ramping  spot  under  huge,  leafy  trees, 
thereafter  he  often  stopped  there  to 
rest,  during  his  arduous  travels  up 
and  down  California. 

While  the  1769  Portola  expedi- 
tion was  camped  by  the  springs  dur- 
ing their  original  trek,  Portola 
ordered  his  scouts  to  ride  down  to 
the  beach  (at  Santa  Monica)  and 
gaze  northward  along  the  fringe  of 
mountains  which  meet  the  sea  along 
the  Malibu.  He  wanted  them  to  see 
if  it  were  at  all  possible  for  the 
expedition  to  follow  a  path  north- 
ward along  the  shoreline,  in  their 
quest  to  find  Monterey  Bay. 

It  was  impossible  the  scouts  finally 
determined,  because  of  the  steep 
mountains  with  sheer  downward 
drop  to  the  ocean.  So  they  returned 
to  the  camp,  made  their  report,  and 
soon  thereafter  the  Portola  expedi- 
tion headed  north  from  the  camp, 
passing  through  a  narrow  pass  in 
the  Santa  Monica  mountains  and 
eventually  landing  out  into  San 
F'ernando  Valley.  This  narrow  pass 
today  (1970)  is  known  as  Sepulveda 
Canyon,  and  through  it  runs  the 
San  Diego  Freeway,  over  which 
thousands  of  automobiles  roar  daily 
along  its  asphalt  trail. 

That  was  two  hundred  and  one 
years  ago  (1769).   Fifty-nine  yeiu-s

later,  in  IS2X.  Don  Francisco  Sepul- 
veda. retired  soldier  and  citizen  of 
I  he  pueblo  de  Los  Angeles,  petition- 
ed for  and  svas  given  possession  of 
and  provisional  title  to  Rancho  San 
Vicente  y  Santa  Monica.  It  com- 
prised 30,000  (thirty  thousand) 
acres,  covered  almost  entirely  with 
rich  wild-grass,  excellent  grazing 
land  for  Sepulveda's  livestock. 

The  Rancho  was  provisionally 
granted  to  Sepulveda  during  the  ad- 
ministration of  California's  Governor 
Echeandia.  This  state  was  then 
under  rule  of  Mexico.  Sepulveda  was 
officially  put  into  possession  of  the 
land  by  Jose  Antonio  Carrillo,  at 
that  time  (1828)  alcalde  of  the 
tiny  pueblo  de  Los  Angeles  and  the 
representative  of  the  state  govern- 
ment. In  1839,  the  grant  to  the 
Rancho  was  confirmed  by  Governor 
Alvarado. 

The  Rancho's  land  faced  the 
ocean,  extending  from  the  southern 
edge  of  the  Santa  Monica  Canyon 
to  what  is  now  Pico  Boulevard.  In 
the  rear  (east)  it  reached  almost  to 
the  VVestwood  area  and  took  in  the 
mountains  that  overlooked  the  San 
Fernando  Valley. 

Don  Francisco  Sepulveda,  upon 
given  possession  of  the  land  in  1828. 
moved  his  more  than  one  hundred 
and  fifty  head  of  cattle,  his  horses 
and  sheep  out  to  the  Rancho. 
Assisted  by  several  of  his  sons,  he 


built  several  adobe  buildings  on  the 
Rancho  and  set  out  orchards  and 
vineyards.  This,  in  addition  to  his 
live-stock  raising.  Sepulveda,  how- 
ever, maintained  his  residence  in 
Los  Angeles,  where  his  home  was 
situated  on  the  plaza. 

One  of  the  adobe  dwellings  which 
Sepulveda  built  on  the  rancho,  stood 
close  by  the  very  same  springs  where, 
historians  are  convinced,  the  Por- 
tola expedition  camped  in  1769.  The 
springs  are  situated  today  on  the 
campus  of  University  High  School 
in  West  Los  Angeles.  Through  that 
campus  very  apparently  runs  an 
underground  river  with  natural 
springs  bubbling  up  out  of  the  earth. 
In  digging  the  foundations  for  the 
school,  in  1924,  the  workmen  would 
strike  water.  Finally  this  obstacle 
was  overcome  and  the  school  opened 
in  September  of  1924.  According  to 
■an  interesting  historical  fact-sheet 
published  by  the  school,  the  natural 
springs  on  the  campus  caused  vari- 
ous problems  in  the  stages  of  school 
expansion.  The  auditorium  was  bui'.t 
on  pilings  over  an  underground  river 
and  the  classroom  building  and  girls' 
gymnasium  are  built  over  many 
natural  springs.  These  were  capped 
and  drained  through  the  concrete 
channels  to  the  area  of  the  gradua- 
tion terrace  and  into  the  large  pond< 
in   the    horticultural    area.

tion of  the  school,  manv  artifacts  of

Indian  and  Spanish  origin  were  un- 
covered. Metates,  grinding  stones, 
arrow  and  spear  heads  were  plowed 
up.  It  definitely  indicated  that  this 
area,  because  of  the  springs  of  water, 
was  occupied  frequently  by  bands  oi 
Indians  dwelling  nearby. 

Don  Francisco  Sepulveda  was,  in- 
deed, a  very  early-day  Southern 
Californian  ....  because  it  is  a 
matter  of  historical  record  (the 
193 1  edition  of  the  Historical 
Society  of  Southern  California's 
publication  commemorating  the  one 
hundred  and  fiftieth  anniversary  of 
the  founding  of  Los  Angeles  in 
September  4,  1781)  that  Don  Fran- 
cisco, as  a  boy  of  six  years  old,  in 
the  year  1781,  accompanied  his  39 
year  old  soldier  father,  also  named 
Francisco,  who,  along  with  other 
troops  of  the  Spanish  army,  was 
assigned  to  accompany  (and  guard 
against  Indian  atacks)  the  original 
twelve  families  from  Sinaloa  and 
Sonora,  Mexico,  who  were  to  be- 
come the  "founders"  and  first 
settlers  of  Los  Angeles.  These  famil- 
ies (eleven  families  finally  were 
counted  when  the  expedition  reached 
San  Gabriel  Mission)  were  per- 
suaded by  Capt.  Fernando  de  Riva 
y  Moncada  to  leave  their  homes 
in  the  peaceful  valleys  of  Mexico, 
journey  to  upper  California  —  and 
become  the  first  settlers  of  Nuestra 
Seriora  de  Los  Angeles  de  Porciun- 
cula.  Each  family  was  promised  — 
and  received,  when  they  landed 
there  —  land,  four  horses,  two 
cows,  a  pair  of  sheep,  a  pair  of 
goats,  a  yoke  of  oxen  and  tools  for 
farming.  Also  going  along  on  the 
long  journey  with  Francisco's 
soldier-father,  in  addition  to  six- 
year  old  Francisco,  were  Francisco's 
mother,  the  former  Maria  Candelaria 
de  Redondo,  and  their  five  other 
children.  The  oldest  child  was 
.seventeen  and  Francisco,  six,  was 
the   youngest. 

The  1931  edition  of  the  Historical 
Society  of  Southern  California  pub- 
lished a  most  outstanding  article  by 
California  Historian  Thomas  Work- 
man Temple  the  second,  of  San 
Gabriel,  in  which  he  listed  (for  the 
first   time)    not   only    names   of   the

twelve  families  from  Sinaloa  and 
Sonora,  who  settled  Los  Angeles, 
but  also  the  names  of  the  soldiers 
who  accompanied  the  twelve  famil- 
ies —  plus  the  names  of  the  wives 
and  each  child  of  the  soldiers  who 
brought  along  their  own  families! 
Thus  we  know  that  Francisco 
Sepulveda,  the  future  owner  of 
Rancho  San  Vicente  y  Santa 
Monica,  first  came  to  California  in 
1781   at  the  age  of  six. 

It  is  presumed  that  the  Sepulveda 
family,  upon  arriving  in  upper  Cali- 
fornia in  1781,  remained  here,  as 
so  many  soJdiers'  families  did.  Be- 
cause when  young  Francisco  Sepul- 
veda grew  to  manhood,  he  followed 
in  his  father's  footsteps  and  he,  too, 
became  a  soldier.  He  was  stationed 
in  San  Diego.  There,  in  1802,  he 
married  Maria  Ramona  Serrano  y 
Silvas.  They  became  the  parents  of 
twelve  children,  two  passing  on 
early   in   life. 

In  1815,  Francisco  Sepulveda  and 
his  family  were  residing  in  the  pueb- 


lo de  Los  Angeles.  Highly  regarded 
by  his  friends  and  neighbors,  he 
was  active  in  municipal  affairs  of 
the  tiny  village.  Besides  keeping  up 
his  activities  in  agriculture  and  cattle 
raising. 

And  so  it  was,  that,  in  1828, 
Francisco  Sepulveda  petitioned  for 
and  was  granted  the  30,000  acre 
Rancho  San  Vicente  y  Santa 
Monica.  Sepulveda  died  in  1853, 
leaving  the  Rancho  to  his  wife.  In 
1872,  the  Sepulveda  heirs  sold  the 
Rancho  to  Colonel  R.  S.  Baker  for 
$55,000.  In  1875,  Baker  sold  a 
three-fourths  interest  in  the  Rancho 
to  Senator  John  P.  Jones  for 
$162,000.  Together,  they  planned 
a  town,  a  railroad  and  a  wharf. 
Thus  it  was  that,  in  1875,  the  orig- 
inal "townsite"  of  Santa  Monica 
was  officially  recorded.  The  "town- 
site"  fronted  on  the  ocean  and  was 
bounded  on  the  northwest  by  Mon- 
tana Avenue,  on  the  southeast  by 
Railroad  Avenue  (now  Colorado

As  1  write  this  article  1  am  plan- 
ning for  the  statewide  celebration 
of  Admission  Day  in  Fairficld-Sui- 
sun.  September  9th.  In  my  heart  will 
be  the  hope  that  as  we  say  "Happy 
Birthday  California"  we  pledge  our- 
selves to  continue  work  for  the  pre- 
servation of  California  History  and 
the  social  and  cultural  development 
of  our  State. 

On  September  25,  1970  the  Order 
of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West  will  celebrate  its  84th 
Birthday.  On  Founders  Day  we  look 
back  with  pride  to  the  group  of 
thirteen  women  who  formed  Ursula 
Parlor  No.  1  in  Jackson,  Amador 
County.  From  that  beginning  a 
chain  of  Native  Daughter  Parlors 
spread  from  one  end  of  California 
to  the  other. 

Throughout  the  years  Grand 
Presidents  of  the  Order  have  cher- 
ished the  hospitality,  enthusiasm  and 
interest  expressed  by  members  as 
ihey  travel  the  State  making  "offic- 
ial visits."  Such  is  my  privilege  now. 
The  warmth  of  friendship,  the  desire 
of  members  to  promote  the  pro- 
jects of  our  Order,  the  beauties  of 
our  State,  all  enhance  the  roll  of  .i 
Grand  President. 

Recently  in  my  visit  to  Alturas 
and  Mt.  l.assen  Parlors  a  little  poem 
accompanied  their  presentation. 
The  author  as  far  as  I  know  was 
anonymous  but  it  expressed  love 
of  members  for  their  Order.  Despite 
perils,  promises,  disappointments,  it 
signified  to  me  that  Native  Daugh- 
ters continue  to  pledge  themselves 
to  work  with  the  Grand  President.

Along   with    all    the    pretty    things 
Some    mighty    rocky    ground. 

1    also   know   the    Parlors 
Have    found    in    you    great    good 
You've    taken    all    the    better    ways 
To  help  our  Sisterhood. 

Day  by  day  you'll  travel  far: 
Night    by    night    you'll    wander. 
Many   a    busy   hour   you'll    plan: 
Many   a   dime   you'll    squander. 

But    when    your    Parlors    honor   you 
For  all  your  work  and  fun. 
You'll   proudly   hear  their  song  of 

praise 
■Well   done.   Grand   President,   well 

done." 


I  hank  you  Native  Daughters 
everywhere  for  your  trust  as  I  look

TIERRA  de  ORO 

Tierra  de  O  r  o  No.  304  in  co- 
operation with  the  Grand  Parlor 
Americanism  and  Civic  Participation 
Program  sponsored  by  Grand  Parlor, 
as  well  as  the  Veterans'  Welfare  pro- 
gram also  sponsored  on  a  state-wide 
scale,  has  for  several  years  sent 
California  Bear  flags  to  veterans, 
both  overseas  and  at  stations  in  the 
United  States. 


REICHI.INC; 


One  such  California  Bear  Flag  was 
sent  recently  to  Airman  David  Nagel, 
grandson  of  Past  President  Florence 
Nagel,  of  Tierra  de  Oro  Parlor,  who 
is  now  stationed  at  an  air  base  in 
Mississippi. 

In  his  thank-you  note  to  the  Par- 
lor, Airman  Nagel  included  a  mes- 
sage from  one  of  his  buddies,  also  a 
Californian,  stating  that  he,  too, 
would  like  to  have  our  State's  em- 
blem. In  almost  every  instance  where 
a  California  Bear  Flag  has  been 
sent  to  one  of  our  servicemen  or  wo- 
men, there  has  come  a  request  for 
additional  flags  for  others  in  their 
contingents. 

For  this  reason,  at  the  recent 
Grand  Parlor,  the  suggestion  was  re- 
layed by  PGP  Eileen  Dismuke  to  the 
incoming  State  Chairman  on  Vet- 
erans Welfare  that  some  thought  be 
given  to  allocating  some  of  the  extra 
funds  provided  in  the  coming  Vet- 
erans Welfare  budget  for  California 
Bear  Flags  to  be  sent  to  our  service- 
men from  the  Grand  Parlor.  The 
American  Legion  also  has  a  program 
for  provision  of  Bear  Flags,  and 
funds  for  this  purpose  are  of  primary 
concern. 


The   trouble   with   Father  Time   is   that 
he  doesn't  make  round  trips.

first,  so  they  won't  be  any  good  to  any-

HISTORICAL  MARKERS 
PRESENTED  BY  AiNNIE  K. 
HIDWELL  PARLOR  NO.  168 

Annie  K.  Bidwell  No.  168  offi- 
ciated at  the  presentation  of  markers 
to  the  Ccnterville  Historical  and 
Recreation  Association,  designating 
the  old  Centerville  School  and  Cem- 
etery as  historical  landmarks.  A 
California  Bear  Flag  was  also  given 
to  the  school  by  the  Historical  and 
Landmark  Committee  of  the  Parlor. 
Approximately  200  pc  r  s  o  n  s 
attended  the  dedication  ceremonies. 
Among  them  were  several  descend- 
ants of  Charles  H  i  n  t  z,  early  day 
resident  of  Centerville  and  builder  of 
the  school.  They  were  his  daughters, 
irma  Rushmer  of  Sacramento;  Leone 
Reynolds,  Vera  Ekwall  and  Frede- 
rica  Wilson,  all  of  Chico.  Also  pre- 
sent were  Mrs.  Wilson's  daughter, 
Kenny,  of  Chico;  granddaughter 
Alicia  L  o  c  e  y  of  Sacramento  and 
grandson  Jeff  Hanley.  Alumni  of 
the  school  came  from  as  far  away 
as  Riverside,  California. 

Ethel  Wilburn,  a  member  of 
Olivia  No.  309,  Corning,  was  very 
interested  to  learn  that  a  forebearer 
of  hers,  of  whose  burial  place  she 
had  lost  track,  was  listed  among  the 
early  day  graves  in  the  old  cemetery. 
At  the  cemetery  services  the  invoc- 
ation was  given  by  Father  Charles 
Fagan.  Lois  Colman  read  a  short 
history  of  the  cemetery.  She  and  Lucy 
Girdler  unveiled  the  plaque,  after 
which  the  benediction  was  spoken  by 
Father  Fagan.  A  bouquet  of  iris  was 
placed  in  front  of  the  marker. 

PGP  Hazel  Mallette,  gave  the  in- 
vocation at  the  Schoolhouse.  She  is 
a  member  of  Gold  of  Ophir  No.  190, 
Orovillc. 

The  pledge  to  the  flag  was  led  by 
Harvey  Johnson  of  Centerville.  Mr. 
Johnson  was  aLso  active  in  helping 
with  the  arrangements  for  the  day's 
ceremonies.  The  singing  of  the 
national  anthem  was  led  by  Grace 
Benton. 

Speaker  of  the  day  was  GP  Nancy 
J.  Conens.  She  commended  Annie 
K.  Bidwell  Parlor  and  the  Centerville 
Historical  Association  for  marking 
and   preserving  these  landmarks  for

the  State.  She  also  told  of  the  found- 
ing of  the  Native  Daughter  of  the 
Golden  West  by  Lily  O.  Reichling  at 
Jackson,  Amador  County,  on  Sept- 
ember 25.  1886.  Among  dignitaries 
present  was  GT  Betty  Read  Curilich 
of  the  Mother  Parlor,  Ursula  No.  1. 
Mrs.  Conens  also  gave  a  short  history 
of  the  adoption  of  the  California  Bear 
Flag.

pole  the  bell  of  the  school  tolled. 

The  marker  at  the  school  is  dedi- 
cated to  Cora  Woods  Hintz,  a  former 
teacher  there  and  a  desceased  mem- 
ber of  Annie  K.  Bidwell  Parlor.  Mrs. 
Hintz  was  the  aunt  of  Lois  Colman. 
Mr.  Carleton  Colman.  brother  of 
Lois,  built  the  standards  of  native 
stone  from  the  area.  The  marker 
was  unveiled  by  Grand  President 
Conens  and  Mr.  Boon  Baker. 

Miss  Colman  accepted  the  markers 
and  flag  in  the  name  of  the  Center- 
ville  Historical  and  Recreation 
Association  and  thanked  all  who 
had  worked  on  the  project  which  will 
preserve  some  of  the  history  of  the 
Centerville  area. 

To  close  the  day's  ceremonies, 
there  was  the  presentation  of  the 
redwood    site    marker   on    the    road

SEPTEMBER,  1970 


One  of  the  last  happy  events  in  her 
life,  was  serving  as  Chairman  of  the 
Evening,  at  the  Golden  Anniversary 
of  San  Diego  Parlor,  on  April  10, 
1965,  when  she  received  her  50  year 
pin  from  Fern  E.  Adams,  who  was 
Grand  President  at  that  time. 

Anna,  Alice  and  Caroline  married 
and  raised  families,  living  to  see  their 
great  grand  children.  Caroline,  at  the 
time  of  her  death  in  1965,  was  a 
member  of  San  Fernando  Mission, 
No.  280,  where  she  received  honor, 
as  a  past  president.  She  had  looked 
forward  to  attending  the  Golden 
Anniversary  of  San  Diego,  her  first 
Parlor,  but  she  passed  on  in  Febru- 
ary, missing  it  by  little  over  a  month. 

The  Order  gave  much  to  these 
sisters,  and  In  return,  they  gave  much 
to  the  Order.  May  we  see  them  again 
in  the  bright  tomorrow. 

(by  Carolyn  RIggs,  daughter  of 
Caroline.  In  Memorium  to  my 
Aunts  and  Mother.) 


TWENTY-FIFTH  ANNIVERSARY 

On  June  14th,  1944.  in  the  thir- 
tieth year  of  membership  in  the 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West,  1  was  installed  as  Grand  Presi- 
dent, in  the  city  of  San  Jose.  It  was 
was  a  joyous  occasion,  yet  filled  with 
apprehension,  as  it  was  at  the  very 
height  of  World  War  II. 

We  were  faced  with  gas  rationing, 
food  rationing,  clothing  and  shoe 
rationing.  Travel  was  difficult  be- 
cause of  the  gasoline  shortage,  and 
therfore  it  was  necessary  to  attend 
official  visits  by  Greyhound  bus. 
Many  of  our  projects  were  conducted 
under  the  heading  of  "War  Activ- 
ities'". Native  Daughters  throughout 
the  state  worked  together  as  a  unit  to 
further  the  principles  of  our  organiz- 
ation. 

Five  new  parlors  were  instituted, 
through  the  splendid  work  of  ap- 
pointed organizers.  They  were  Toluca 
No.  179,  San  Fernando  Mission  No. 
180,  San  Gabriel  Valley  No.  181,  La 
Tijera  No.  1 82  and  Ramona  No. 
183.  Many  parlors  had  large  "Class 
Initiations"  and  the  gain  in  member- 
ship was  greater  than  we  had  had 
for  some  time.  This  of  course  was 
most  gratifying. 


PGP  Emily  E.   Ryan  and  Jr.   PGP

In  January  1945.  in  response  to 
a  communication  received  from  the 
War  Department,  reg.nrding  the  cur- 
tailment of  conventions,  it  was  nec- 
essary to  call  a  special  meeting  of 
the  Grand  Officers  to  San  Francisco 
and  after  much  deliberation,  sign 
away  my  forthcoming  Grand  Parlor 
of  June  1945.  As  a  Women's  Patriot- 
ic Organization,  we  felt  that  this 
WAS  our  duty. 

A  nominating  committee  was 
appointed,  the  first,  and  to  the  pre- 
sent time,  the  only  one  in  the  his- 
tory of  our  Order.  This  was  for  the 
purpose  of  nominating  candidates  for 
Grand  Parlor  Office.  The  voting 
would  have  to  be  done  by  mail. 

On  June  19,  1945,  a  three  day 
"War  Conference"  was  called  to 
order  at  the  Century  Club  in  San 
Francisco.  It  consisted  of  fifteen 
Grand  Officers,  twenty  Past  Grand 
■Presidents  and  two  permanent  mem- 
bers, a  total  of  thirty  two  accredited 
members,  plus  the  Supervising  Dis- 
trict Deputy  of  San  Francisco 
County,  May  L.  MacDonald  and  a 
few  of  her  Deputies,  some  members 
of  Las  Lomas  Parlor  (my  parlor) 
and  a  few  local  visitors,  about  sixty 
people  in  all.  A  long  way  from  the 
usual  number  at  Grand  Parlor,  and 
somewhat  disappointing,  to  say  the 
least.  Four  hundred  and  ten  ballots 
{Continued  on  Page  10)

PGP  RYAN  .  .  . 
(Continued  from  Page  9) 

were  received  by  mail  which  the  ap- 
pointed Board  of  Election  took  care 
of. 

On  Wednesday  evening  a  class 
of  forty-two  Native  Daughters  was 
initiated,  a  nice  addition  to  our  mem- 
bership. During  this  week,  "History 
was  in  the  Making"  in  San  Francisco. 
The  United  Nations  were  holdins: 
their  first  conference  in  the  Veteran  s 
War  Memorial  Building,  their  eftorts 
being  directed  toward  PEACI-.  And 
incidentally,  they  have  just  completed 
their  25th  Conference  in  San  Fran- 
cisco. Another  anniversary. 

In  January  1969,  Grand  Vice- 
President  Nancy  J.  Concns,  who  had 
been  reading  my  1944-45  Proceed- 
ings, wrote  and  asked  me  if  she 
might  use  the  Pass  Word  that  had 
been  assigned  by  me  for  that  year.  It 
had  been  appropriate  then  and  she 
felt  that  it  was  even  more  so  at  this 
time.  I  felt  very  much  honored  and 
naturally  gave  consent.  She  also  said 
she  would  like  —  in  some  way  —  to 
share  her  Grand  Parlor  with  me. 

On  the  night  of  Installation  of 
Grand  Officers  on  June  19.  1969, 
in  Los  Banos,  Grand  President  - 
Elect,  Nancy  Conens  had  arranged 
that  immediately  following  the  escort 
of  all  the  Past  Grand  Presidents  to 
the  stage,  there  was  to  be  a  special 
escort  of  me  by  my  Supervising 
District  Deputy  of  1944-45,  Louise 
Benedetti.  It  was  then  announced  that 
I  was  starting  the  celebration  of  my 
25th  anniversary  as  Grand  Presi- 
dent. And  that  was  really  the  begin- 
ning of  a  most  wonderful  year. 

It  was  my  privilege,  during 
Nancy's  year  as  Grand  President,  to 
visit  the  five  Parlors  that  had  been 
instituted  in  1944-45,  on  the  occas- 
ion of  their  official  visit  from  her, 
and  many  courtesies  were  extended 
to  me  through  her  kindness.  It  v/as 
also  most  gratifying  to  find  these 
parlors  in  very  fine  condition  and  a 
definite  asset  to  their  respective 
communities. 

And  now  to  the  84th  Annual 
Session  of  the  Grand  Parlor,  held  in 
Oakland,  at  the  Oakland  Hilton  Inn. 

PAGE  10 


At  the  reception  on  Sunday  even- 
ing, many  of  the  Past  Grand  Presi- 
dents were  escorted  by  their  respect- 
ive Supervising  Deputy  Grand  Presi- 
dents, too.  On  Monday  morning,  at 
the  conclusion  of  the  Opening  Cere- 
monies, I  was  escorted  to  the  Altar, 
then  to  the  stage,  where  I  remained 
for  the  entirety  of  the  Session,  ob- 
serving and  participating  in  all  of 
the  procedures.  The  Alameda  County 
Convention  Committee  presented  me 
with  a  beautiful  silver  bowl;  the 
Emily's  of  1944-45,  a  silver  butter 
dish:  my  Parlor,  Lo.i  Lomas  sent  a 
delegation  of  members  and  made  a 
presentation  of  a  lovely  silver  gift. 
At  the  annual  Past  Grand  Presi- 
dent's dinner  I  received  the  "Silver 
Charm  Bracelet"  that  I  had  looked 
forward  to  receiving,  as  well  as  many, 
many  personal  gifts  from  the  "Col- 
lege of  Past  Grands";  corsages  and 
gifts  from  "the  children  of  my  Par- 
lors" to  their  "Mother",  from  the 
San  Francisco  lunch  on  Tuesday,  the 
Supervisor  and  many  Native  Daugh- 
ters, an  overwhelming  monetary  gift. 
The  third  week  in  June  was  like 
Christmas  week  in  December. 

When  Grand  President  Nancy  was 
to  be  escorted  from  the  room  on 
Thursday  afternoon,  at  the  conclu- 
sion of  a  most  successful,  beautifully 
conducted  Grand  Parlor,  she  handed 
me  her  gavel,  so  that  I  might  stand 
at  the  Podium  in  her  place  and  share 
these  last  moments  with  her.  Even 
as  I  write  this,  my  eyes  are  filled 
with  tears  of  gratitude. 

May  I,  through  the  pages  of  the 
to  the  California  Herald,  extend  m\ 
humble  and  very  sincere  thanks  to 
Junior  Past  Grand  President  Nancy 
J.  Conens  for  her  generosity  to  me.

Street )  and  on  the  northeast  by 
26th  Street.  All  of  it  lying  well 
within  the  boundaries  of  Rancho 
San  Vicente  y  Santa  Monica.  Tre- 
mendous credit  must  be  given 
Baker  and  Jones  for  their  vision 
and  accomplishment  in  building  a 
beautiful  city  on  the  serene  old 
Rancho.  Today  the  city  of  Santa 
Monica  is  a  prosperous  active  com- 
munity of  over  90,000  residents; 
beautiful  homes  and  parks;  many 
big  industries,  magnificent  buildings, 
smart  shops  and  a  tremendous 
future. 

But  this  story  concerns  the 
courageous,  industrious  very  early- 
day  pioneer,  Don  Francisco  Sepul- 
veda,  who  first  came  to  Southern 
California  one  hundred  and  eighty- 
nine  years  ago.  .  .  in  1781.  when 
California  was  a  wilderness  larnJ. 
He  raised  a  fine  large  family  here 
and.  when  in  1828  the  grant  to 
Rancho  San  Vicente  y  Santa  Monica 
was  given  him.  as  he,  himself,  ex- 
plained in  part,  it  was  because  of 
"his  having  been  an  old  soldier  of 
the  country  and  having  worked  at 
the  most  painful  period,  when 
wandering  amidst  nomadic  tribes, 
suffering  untold  privations  and  in 
constant  danger  of  life." 

Mrs.  Lillian  M.  Stratton,  history 
and  landmarks  chairman,  was  in 
charge  of  the  marking  ceremony. 
Descendants  of  Don  Sepulveda  at- 
tending the  marking  in  addition  to 
E  r  1  i  n  d  a  Eastman  were  Ignacio 
Sepulveda,  a  great-great  grandson; 
and  Joseph  Barnes,  a  great-great- 
great  grandson.  Another  descend- 
ant. Princess  Conchita  Sepulveda 
Pignatelli,  for  many  years  a  well- 
known  newspaper  writer  for  the 
Los  Angeles  Examiner,  is  a  great- 
grand-daughter  of  Don  Francisco. 
She  is  the  daughter  of  the  late  Judge 
Ignacio  Sepulveda,  one  of  Southern 
California's  most  respected  jurists. 
Judge  Sepulveda  was  the  son  of 
Don  Jose  Sepulveda,  Francisco's 
eldest  son.  Don  Jose  once  owned  the 
49,000   acre    Rancho   San    Joaquin,

ADOBE  RESTORED  .  .  . 
(Continued  from  Page  11) 

Now  it  has  been  completely  re- 
stored by  the  San  Mateo  County 
Historical  Association  as  a  "rich 
illustration  of  the  unique  way"  Mexi- 
can settlement  builders  "did  it  in  the 
beginning." 

Dr.  Leslie  Merrill,  association 
director,  pointed  out  during  a  tour 
that  the  state's  original  "roofed  and 
straight  walled"  structures  were 
fashioned  from  the  material  they 
stood  on  and  were  literally  built  from 
the  ground  up. 

The  secret  was  in  wide  roof  over 
hangs  protecting  adobe  bricks 
fashioned  from  wet  dirt  scooped 
from  any  surface,  he  pointed  out. 
Without  these  lids,  rain  would 
have  returned  the  bricks  to  mud. 

The  Sanchez  adobe  shows  each 
brick  of  the  exterior  and  illustrates 
the  resourcefulness  that  went  into 
the  building,  Merrill  said. 

The  two-story  hotise  was  com- 
pleted in  1 846  by  Francisco  Sanchez, 
who  moved  here  from  San  Francisco, 
where  he  had  served  as  alcalde 
several  terms. 

His  father,  Jose,  one  time  com- 
mandante  of  the  San  Francisco 
Presidio,  owned  the  vast  surrounding 
Rancho  Buri  Buri,  and  Francisco 
had  received  a  grant  from  the  Mexi- 
can government  of  a  coastal  strip. 

But  the  history  of  the  white  man 
on  the  property  predated  that  of  the 
Sanchez  tenancy,  for  the  padres  at 
historic  Mission  Dolores  had  raised 
crops  and  cattle  on  it,  Merrill  re- 
called. 

The  restored  adobe  will  be  main- 
tained as  a  museum  by  San  Mateo 
County.

The  San  Juan  Bautista  Native

a  delightful  luncheon  and  fashion 
show.  Just  fifty  tickets  were  avail-

There  were  five  tables  set  in  the 
dining  room  with  ten  place  settings 
at  each  table  that  was  covered  with 
white  tablecloths.  Virginia  Creeper 
was  laid  down  the  center  of  each 
table  and  red  delicious  apples  and 
red  peppers  were  used  as  decora- 
tions.    A     large     basket     of     fruit,

^  ALiFORNiANiANs  have  a  special 
^^£^  affection  for  that  great  period 
in  their  history  which  has  been  called 
the  Spanisli  Arcadia..  No  doubt  the 
passing  of  time  has  added  a  certain 
glamour  to  early  California  ranch 
life,  but  no  one  will  deny  it  posessed 
an  idyllic  charm. 

The  ranch  period  extended  over 
half  a  century  and  during  that  time 
much  impro\cment  was  made  in 
living  conditions.  All  homes  were 
made  of  adobe  bricks.  Many  of  them 
were  one-story  houses  with  flat 
roofs,  although  in  later  years  the 
wealthier  rancheros  erected  more 
pretentious  2-story  structures.  Floc^ 
of  hardened  earth  or  tile  were  bare.

PRESIDENTS  MESSAGE 

Our  Order  was  founded  on  prin- 
ciples of  infinite  dignity  and  worth. 
Thus  our  aims,  objectives,  and  pro- 
jects have  brought  us  personal  satis- 
faction. But  even  with  all  this,  one 
of  the  great  assests  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  is 
friendship. 

Today  as  I  write  my  heart  is  full. 
I  have  a  sense  of  sadness,  nostalgia 
for  a  great  Native  Daughter  .... 
Past  Grand  Secretary  Irma  S.  Mur- 
ray. She  was  a  special  Native 
Daughter  to  me  and  formed  a  bond 
that  1  would  like  to  pass  on  to 
future   Native   Daughters. 

Irma  Murray's  service  to  the 
Order  of  the  Native  Daughters  of 
the  Golden  West  was  essential.  Her 
talent  and  diligence  was  recognized 
throughout  the  State.  Quality  of 
service   was   always   foremost. 

As  a  young  girl  she  came  to  our 
Grand  Parlor  Office  and  lent  de- 
voted assistance  to  our  beloved  late 
Grand  Secretary  Sallic  R.  Thaler. 
After  the  death  of  her  dear  friend 
Sallie.  Irma  Murray  accepted  the 
position  of  Grand  Secretary  and 
displayed  her  sense  of  responsibility 
and  trust.  Irma  Murray,  like  her 
predecessor,  knew  when  to  advise, 
when  to  counsel,  when  to  hold  back. 
Over  the  years  I  appreciated  her 
willingness  to  help.  She  was  object- 
ive in  her  evaluations,  understand- 
ing and  concerned. 

Irma  Murray,  a  devoted  wife, 
mother,  sister,  civic  worker,  and 
Past  Grand  Secretary,  answered  the 
call  of  the  Master  dh  Inly  30.  1970.

DAYS  OF  THE  DONAS  .  .  . 
iConiiiiiicd  froiii   l'af;e   II) 

II  California  ladies  did  not  wear 
the  latest  fashions  in  apparel  it  was 
not  their  fiiuit.  They  were  so  far  re- 
moved foni  centers  of  culture  that 
they  knew  little  of  changing  modes 
of  dress.  When  Governor  Sola  took 
office  in  1816  the  ladies  who  at- 
tended his  inauguration  ball  came 
dressed  in  their  finest  gowns,  many 
years  out  of  date.  Seeking  to  pay 
them  a  compliment  the  governor 
congratulated  them  for  having  re- 
vived the  quaint  styles  of  his  youth. 
Actually  California  women  were  in 
the  process  of  developing  their  own 
highly  individualized  styles  (uncor- 
seted  waist,  of  course)  when  a  group 
of  colonists  from  Mexico  introduced 
them  to  contemporary  European 
modes  in  1835,  which  were  forth- 
with adopted. 

The  beautiful  gowns  which  bright- 
ened this  later  period  are  those  most 
copied  today  as  the  feminine  cos- 
tume of  the  "Days  of  the  Dons." 
The  high,  tortoise  shell  combs,  con- 
sidered characteristic  of  the  period, 
did  not  come  into  vogue  until  after 
1840. 

Beef,  jrijoles  (beans)  and  tortillas 
were  staple  foods  and  were  served 
at  every  meal.  Veal  was  popular, 
but  pork,  mutton,  venison  and  bear 
meat  met  with  little  favor.  Chiles 
colorados  (red  peppers^   were  used

generously  and  lentils,  corn,  onions, 
'squash  and  pumpkin  were  common. 
iCabbages    and    turnips    were    rare. 

Sugar,  which  was  of  the  brown 
ivariety,  was  costly  as  was  chocolate. 
iCoffee  and  tea  were  introduced  at 
ia  later  period. 

i  Dairy  products  were  scarce  items 
for  to  milk  a  wild  cow  was  some- 
thing of  a  physical  feat  as  well  as 
jbeing  rather  unproductive.  With  the 
development  of  better  supplies  of 
foodstuffs,  California  cookery  at- 
tained a  reputation  for  excellence. 

California  ladies  loved  dancing 
land  several  variations  originated  at 
iSan  Juan  Capistrano.  La  Jota,  re- 
isembling  the  Virginia  Reel,  was  an 
jold  favorite  and  El  Jarehe,  the  na- 
tional dance  of  Mexico,  was  also 
[popular.  A  special  version  of  Seven 
\Up  developed  at  San  Juan  Capis- 
trano as  did  a  local  adaptation  of 
iLa  Varsoiivianna.  However.  La  Var- 
isouvianna  was  frowned  upon  by  the 
clergy  as  being  too  intimate.  At  one 
time  the  waltz  was  prohibited  under 
f)enalty  of  ex-communication. 


Several  of  the  popular  dances  of  these  early  days  have  been  preserved  and 
handed  down  from  generation  to  generation.  Above  is  a  scene  from  "Pepito's 

Posada".

We're  splitting  the  atom  for  you. 


Chances  are  some  of  the 
electricity  you  now  use  is 
generated  at  the  San 
Onofre  Nuclear  Plant  near 
San  Clemente. 

Edison  plans  to  add 
additional  nuclear  units  at 
this  site.  One  reason:  in  a 
nuclear  reactor  there  is  no 


combustion,  so  there  are 
no  by-products  of  combus- 
tion. Electricity  from  clean 
nuclear  plants  is  one  of  the 
ways  Edison  is  working  to- 
day for  a  better  tomorrow.

E  PAUSE  HERE  TODAY  TO  PAY 


homage  to  Albert  Maver 
Winn,  who  founded  the  Order  of 
the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West. 
He  was  born  April  27,  1810,  in 
Louden  County,  Virginia,  the  eldest 
of  18  children.  His  father,  the  son 
of  a  soldier  of  the  Revolutionary 
War,  was  commissioned  a  captain 
and  fought  against  England  in  the 
War  of  1812. 

Albert  was  deeply  impressed  with 
patriotism  and  love  of  fatherland  and 
grew  up  with  an  intense  love  of 
American  institutions  that  character- 
ized his  conduct  throughout  his 
entire  life. 

After  the  close  of  the  War  of  1812 
the  family  moved  to  Culpepper 
County.  This  was  not  a  period  of 
prolific  interest  in  education,  but 
young  Winn  did  attend  school  until 
he  was  twelve  years  old.  Thereafter 

NOVEMBER,  1970 


he  helped  on  the  farm  until  he  was 
16,  at  which  time  he  became  an 
apprentice  and  learned  the  car- 
penter's trade.  In  1824  the  family 
moved  to  Zanesville,  Ohio. 

Five  years  later  Winn  married 
Catherine  Gaffney  and  the  young 
couple  moved  into  Mississippi  where 
Albert  engaged  in  the  lumbering 
business  and  carpentry.  When  he 
attained  his  legal  majority  in  1831 
Andrew  Jackson  was  president  and 
he  became  a  Jackson  Democrat. 

It  was  during  his  years  in  Missisip- 
pi  that  Winn  became  interested  in 
military  affairs.  In  1835  he  became 
a  lieutenant  in  the  milita.  In  1836 
Governor  Lynch  commissioned  him 
a  major  on  the  staff;  from   1840  to 

1844  he  was  State  Drill  Master.  In 

1845  he  became  a  colonel. 

In  this  military  capacity  he  be- 
came acquainted  with  Jefferson 
Davis  and  was  chosen  colonel  of 
the  Mississippi  Volunteers  of  t  h  e 
Mexican  War.  At  this  time  (1846) 
he  was  president  of  the  Master 
Carpenters  and  Joiners  Society  of 
Vicksburg  and  had  also  served  on 
the    Vicksburg   City    Council. 

In  spite  of  Winn's  happy  residence 
of  17  years  at  Vicksburg  and  his 
success  in  business,  military  and  civic 
life,  the  lure  of  the  far  west  beckoned 
and  he  joined  that  long  train  of 
adventurous  men  who  set  forth 
for  California  after  the  discovery  of 
gold. 

Winn  left  Vicksburg  on  February 
14.  1849.  and  settled  in  Sacramento 
June  25.  Since  Winn  had  been  n 
man  of  civic  and  military  experience 
at  Vicksburg,  it  was  only  natural 
he  take  an  active  part  in  the  muni- 
cipal beginnings  of  Sacramento.  In 
the  autumn  of  1849  he  was  elected 
the   first  mayor  of  Sacramento. 

In  1850  California  organized  a 
militia   of   four  divisions   and   eight 


brigades.  By  resolution  of  the  Legis- 
lature, under  date  of  April  10,  1850. 
Winn  was  appointed  brigadier  gen- 
eral. This  commission  was  approved 
by  Governor  John  Bigler. 

During  this  period  a  group  of 
settlers  began  squatting  on  the  land 
of  Captain  John  A.  Sutter,  destroy- 
ing his  timber,  wheat  fields  and 
buildings.  In  an  attempt  to  disperse 
them,  riots  broke  out  and  Sheriff 
Joseph  McKinney  was  killed.  Gen- 
eral Winn  organized  the  Law  and 
Order  League  and  used  his  brigade 
in  supplementing  the  peace  officers 
in  restoring  order. 

Winn  not  only  made  his  contri- 
bution to  the  civil  and  military 
beginning  of  Sacramento,  but  he  was 
also  a  prime  mover  in  its  fraternal 
and  religious  life. 


In  1851  he  organized  the  first  Odd 
Fellows  Lodge  on  the  Pacific  Coast 
and  was  its  first  Noble  Grand.  He 
was  also  instrumental  in  the  estab- 
lishment of  Grace  Church,  the  first 
Episcopal    Church    in    Sacramento.

Winn  was  also  a  Mason.  In  1849 
he  organized  the  Odd  Fellows  Relief 
Association  for  Widows  and  Or- 
phans. Later  he  had  Masons  and 
Odd  Fellows  finance  a  hospital  for 
their  sick  and  destitute.  Winn  was 
also  champion  of  temperance,  hav- 
ine  joined  the  Sons  of  Temperance 
in^  1853.

as  land  agent  for  Sutter  and  later 
as  a  notan'  public  in  Grass  Valley. 
While  living  in  Sutter  County  he  was 
defeated  for  the  Legislature.  He 
moved  to  San  Francisco  in  1860 
and  engaged  in  the  real  estate  bus- 
iness. 

His  wife  died  in  1862  and  in  IS^" 
he  married  the  widow  of  the  mur- 
dered editor,  James  King  of  Will- 
iam, whose  death  brought  the  sec- 
ond vigilance  committee  into 
existence  in  San  Francisco. 

In  1869  he  attempted  to  organize 
the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West 
but  failed  because  the  boys  were  too 
young.  He  tried  again  in  1875  and 
succeeded.  This  was  done  July  1  1 . 
1875. 

On  July  4,  1876,  he  organized 
the  Sons  of  the  Revolution  Sires, 
which  later  became  Sons  of  the 
American  Revolution.  He  was  also 
champion  of  the  labor  movement 
and  it  was  due  to  his  efforts  the 
carpenters  obtained  an  eight  hour 
day. 

After  founding  the  Revolution 
Sires,  Winn  retired  to  his  stepson's 
ranch  (Charles  J.  King)  of  Sonom' 
and  died  August  26,  1883.  His  body 
was  sent  to  Sacramento  for  the 
funeral  which  was  conducted  under 


Capi.  John  A.  Sutter 


the  ritual  of  the  Native  Sons.  Every 
organization  in  Sacramento  partic- 
ipated in  the  procession.  The  courts 
and  civil  bodies  suspended  business 
during  the  day  of  the  funeral. 

A  movement  was  started  in  1887. 
by  the  Native  Sons,  to  move  his 
remains  to  the  Pioneer  Plot  in  the 
Sacramento  City  Cemetery  and  erect 
a  monument  in  his  memory.  A  plot 
was  purchased  and  with  the  consent 
of  his  son,  who  later  became  a 
member  of  the  Native  Sons,  Winn's 
remains  were  removed  to  the  new 
location.  (Parenthetically,  let  me 
state  here  that  in  1968  the  monu- 
ment, which  was  erected  and  edi- 
cated  November  28,  1888,  was 
vandalized  and  was  refurbished  in 
1969  with  funds  from  the  City  of 
Sacramento. ) 

So  then,  this  was  Albert  Maver 
Winn.  Truly  a  man  of  many  facets, 
truly  a  man  of  great  organizational 
ability,  truly  a  great  American. 

Winn  came  to  California  during 
a  period  of  great  upheaval  and  the 
need  for  reconstruction  was  great. 
Many  men  came  here  with  eyes 
aglitter  with  fervor  and  hunger  for 
the  sight  of  Gold!  But  although  there 
were  many  who  were  rewarded, 
there  were  more  whose  hopes  and 
dreams  were  dashed  and  their 
futures  ruined  when  their  expecta- 
tions were  not  realized.  Thousands 
of    these    gold-hungry    men    were 


PAGE  4 


ruined,  men  whose  talents  could 
have  been  of  great  help  to  the  grow- 
ing state,  for  this  was  a  day  of  un- 
limited opportunity  —  the  gates  were 
wide  open  for  all  to  come  to  Cali- 
fornia. Many  men  recognized  this 
golden  opportunity  and  did  come  — 
not  with  the  mining  of  gold  as  their 
goal,  but  the  desire  to  put  their 
talents  to  use  and  lend  the  way  to 
the  formation  of  a  new  territory. 
Each  brought  ability  and  experience 
in  many  fields,  agriculture,  mer- 
chandising, transportation,  politics, 
law,  and  military,  to  help  build  the 
foundation  of  what  was  to  become 
this  great  State  of  California.  These 
men  had  foresight  and  unique  ability 
and  they  recognized  the  need  for 
leadership  in  this  virgin  territory  and 
they  did  not  hesitate  to  give  of  every 
ounce  of  their  knowledge  and  ■ 
strength  for  this  purpose.  \ 

But  none  were  more  talented, 
none  were  more  knowledgable.  none 
were  more  desirous  to  add  to  the 
building  of  this  community  and 
state  than  Winn. 

We,  the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden 
West  are  primarily  interested  today, 
in  one  facet  of  Winn's  abilities,  the  J 
founding  of  our  great  Order.  Isn't  it  " 
remarkable  that  he  should,  somehow 
in  his  busy  life,  gave  thought  to  the 
»)rganization  of  such  a  unique  frater- 
nal body  as  the  Native  Sons?  Isn't 
it    strange   that   Winn,   a    Virginian. 

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


would  create  and  foster  an  idea  of 
bringing  together  young  men,  native 
born  Californians  to  start  a  fraternal 
order  which  has  done  so  much  for 
the  preservation  and  restoration  of 
California's  historically  important 
sites? 

Winn's  idea  to  organize  the  Native 
Sons  of  the  Golden  West  must  have, 
indeed,  been  a  strong  idea.  He  did 
not  abandon  his  plans  when  in  1869 
he  tried  and  failed  to  bring  the  or- 
ganization into  being,  he  held  this 
idea  in  his  mind  and  kept  the  first 
group  of  men  interested  until   1875. 


for  as  research  shows,  most  of  these 
young  men  joined  as  charter  mem- 
bers and  were  noted  in  the  1869 
group.  That  these  men  were  young 
is  shown  in  the  records.  The  grand 
officers  of  the  first  Grand  Parlor 
were  upwards  from  twenty  years  of 
age  and  the  first  Grand  President 
was  the  "old  man"  of  the  group  at 
24  years  old.  The  second  Grand 
President  was  between  21  and  22 
years  old  when  he  was  elected. 

From  the  idea  of  organization  of 
the  Native  Sons  fostered  by  Winn. 


our  Order  has  been  active  in  a  great 
many  restorations  and/or  preservat- 
ions of  historically  important  sites 
such  as  Sutter's  Fort  in  Sacramento. 
El  Camino  Real  and  the  Mission 
chain  throughout  the  length  of  Cali- 
fornia, Vallejo's  Home  in  Sonoma, 
Fort  Ross  on  the  Coast  and  many 
others.  The  Native  Sons  and  Nati»'e 
Daughters  were  among  the  first  to 
help  save  our  magnificent  redwoods 
and  since  1883  the  Native  Sons  bavp 
sponsored  the  State  Admission  D-^v 
celebrations,  with  the  exception  of 
six   years.

!sAN  DFEGO  PARLOR 

San  Diego  No.  208  has  had  many 
activities  these  past  months.  A  dime- 
a-dip  dinner  planned  by  Margaret 
Helton  to  benefit  the  Children's 
Foundation,  with  movies  on  Cali- 
fornia  afterwards,   was   enjoyed. 

Ways  and  Means  chairman  Ellen 
Stone  planned  an  ice  cream  social 
and  a  waffle  bruncheon.  Both  affairs 
were  held  in  members'  patios,  as 
was  a  super  Italian  dinner.  All  help- 
ed swell  the  treasury  a  mite  as  well 
as  a  theater  party  and  the  sales  of 
candy  and  greeting  cards. 


President  Catherine  Higdon  pre- 
sented a  Calfomia  Bear  Flag  to  the 
U.S.O.  for  their  new  building  for 
the  service  men  in  this  area.  She 
was  accompanied  by  PP  Emily 
Welch,  currently  the  civic  participa- 
tion chairman  for  San  Diego  Parlor. 

NOVEMBER,  1970 


The  Pioneer  Society  of  San  Diego 
County  entertained  Parlor  members 
at  its  October  meeting,  an  annual 
custom.  San  Diego  Parlor  voted 
$100  to  assist  in  reforestation  of 
land  in  our  county  recently  de- 
nuded by  those  devastating  fires. 

All  regret  that  the  Las  Flores 
del  Mar  Parlor  had  to  relinquish  its 
charter  but  a  happy  note  is  that 
the  majority  of  its  members  have 
retained  their  membership  in  the 
Order  by  transferring  to  San  Diego 
Parlor.

MARINITA 

The  members  of  Marinita  No.  198 
heard  of  a  native  born  California 
lady  who  was  about  to  celebrate  her 
100th  birthday.  She  resides  in  Marin 
County  convalescent  hospital,  the 
"Parkway,"  and  having  no  family 
and  having  outlived  most  of  her 
friends,  it  did  not  seem   likely  that 

(Continued  on  Page  10)

PARLOR  NEWS  .  .  . 
{Continued  from  Page  9) 

she  would  have  much  of  a  party. 
However,  Murinila  members  decided 
to  help  make  this  100th  birthday 
memorable  for  Mrs.  Emma  Young, 
who,  although  not  a  member  of  our 
order  was  born  in  Kehlo,  Mendocino 
County  and  had  lived  in  California 
all  her  life.  On  the  afternoon  of  her 
birthday,  a  large  delegation  of  mem- 
bers assembled  at  the  Parkway  to 
celebrate  with  Emma.  Jill  Soldavini 
of  Mariniui  baked  a  birthday  cake 
and  decorated  its  beautifully,  add- 
ing all  the  really  professional-looking 
touches  of  massed  roses,  lettering 
and  candles.  A  dozen  red  roses  were 
presented  from  Marinita  Parlor  and  a 
exquisite  orchid  corsage  was  con- 
tributed bv  Marinita  member,  Lillian 
Dorr. 

Mrs.  Young  who  graduated  from 
Pasadena  Junior  College  in  1900 
was  thoroughly  delighted  by  the 
party  and  all  the  attention  she 
received.  A  highlight  of  the  festivit- 
ies came  when  a  card  of  congratula- 
tions which  had  been  sent  from 
President  and  Mrs.  Richard  Nixon 
was  read. 

Some  of  the  members  from 
Marinita  who  helped  in  the  party 
were  Jean  Hedemark,  Elida  Hecht. 
Jill  Soldavini,  Mary  May,  Lee  Dorr, 
Georgia  Gabb,  and  President  Oda 
Santinello. 


SEQUOIA 

With  Winifred  McKee  and  Mary 
Scott  as  chairmen,  the  new  officers 
of  Sequoia  No.  272  were  installed 
at  Veterans  Memorial  Building.  The 
hall  was  decorated  with  a  profusion 
of  blooms. 

SDDGP  Marjorie  Jacobson,  and 
a  member  of  El  Cereso  No.  207  was 
assisted  by  officers  of  her  Parlor 
in  the  installation  rites.  Ethel 
Murphy  had  charge  of  the  opening 
of  the  ceremonies.  Tillie  Ruinlan 
acted  as  grand  marshal  and  Jennie 
Agresta  gave  the  obligation.  Mrs. 
McKee  was  at  the  piano. 

While  at  the  altar,  Lorretta  Del 
Carlo,  the  new  president  was  ser- 
enaded by  the  many  preprescntatives 
of  other  Parlors.  Later  in  the  even- 
ing, she  presented  gifts  to  her  officers 
and  gifts  were  given  to  the  install- 
ing staff. 

Because  of  the  publicity  given  for 
the  Parlor  and  of  the  special  features

OFFICIAL  VISIT  TO  ORINDA 

The  official  visit  by  Grand  Presi- 
dent Irene  Bondanza  to  Orinda  No. 
56,  was  an  affair  long  to  be  remem- 
bered. The  Urban  Center,  turned 
into  a  Japanese  fantasy,  transported 
the  audience  to  the  calm  and  tran- 
quility of  the  Far  East.  Adorning  the 
walls  were  small  branches  with 
cherry  blossoms.  Tori  gates,  lovely 
curved  bridges  and  artifacts  could  be 
seen  throughout  the  room. 

In  this  atmosphere,  Orinda  wel- 
comed Grand  President  Irene.  A 
triple  event  celebration,  the  Parlor 
honored  "first  lady"  Irene;  cele- 
brated the  80th  birthday  of  Orinda 
Parlor  and  extended  greetings  to 
Sister  City,  Osaka,  Japan.  Orinda 
Giannini,  PGP,  Chairman,  and  Alma 
Klahn,  Co-Chairman,  and  their  com- 
mittee, directed  a  performance 
worthy  of  an  "Oscar." 

Grand  President  Irene  was  a  most 
gracious  and  charming  guest  of 
honor.  While  she  was  at  the  altar.

graceful  young  ladies.  In  their  color-

their  movements  and  gestures.

THANKSGIVING  DAY 

by 
Johann  A. P.  Schulz 
(1800) 

We  plow  the  fields,  and  scatter 
The  good  seed  on  the  land, 
But  it  is  fed  and  watered 
By  God's  Almighty  hand; 
He  sends  the  snow  in  winter, 
The  warmth  to  swell  the  grain. 
The  breezes  and  the  sunshine. 
And  soft,   refreshing  rain. 


THANKSGIVING 


P RAVER 


by 
Jan  Struther 


We  thank  you  Lord  of  Heaven, 
We  thank  you  Lord 
For  all  the  joys  that  greet  us 
For  all  that  you  have  given 
To  help  us  and  delight  us 
In  earth  and  sky  and  seas; 
The  sunlight  on  the  meadows, 
The   rainbow's   fleeting  wonder, 
The  clouds  with  cooling  shadows, 
The  stars  that  shine  in  splendor  — 
We  thank  you,  Lord,  for  these. 

For  swift  and  gallant  horses. 
For  Iambs  in  pastures  springing, 
For  dogs  with  friendly  faces. 
For  birds  with  music  thronging 

Their  chantries  in  the  trees; 
For  herbs  to  cool  our  fever. 
For  flowers  of  field  and  garden, 
For  bees  among  the  clover 

With  stolen  sweetness  laden  — 
We  thank  you.  Lord,  for  these. 

For  homey  dwelling  places 
Where  childhood's  visions  linger, 
For  friends  and  kindly  voices. 
For  bread  to  stay  our  hunger 
For  zeal  and  zest  of  living. 
For  faith  and  understanding 
For  words  to  tell  our  loving. 
For  hope  of  peace  unending  — 
We  thank  you.  Lord,  for  these.

Edison  plans  to  add

combustion,  so  there  are 
no  by-products  of  combus-

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


NAHEIM       HAS      TWO      SPECIAL 

Christmas  customs  that  touch 
the  heart.  For  many  years,  residents 
I  of  the  city  of  Mexican  descent  parti- 
'  cipated  in  a  religious  ceremony 
which  they  called  La  Posada.  (Pos- 
ada is  a  Spanish  word  for  lodging 
house  or  inn.) 

On  nine  consecutive  evenings  be- 
fore Christmas,  a  goodly  number  of 
people  marched  in  procession 
'  through  the  streets  of  their  immedi- 
ate   neighborhood,    carrying    lighted 
I  candles,  saying  prayers  and  singing 
hymns  in  anticipation  of  the  com- 
,  ing  of  the  Christ  Child.  At  the  head 
I  of  the  group  marched  a  young  wo- 
man   and    a    young   man   who    had 
assumed  the   roles   of  Mary   and 
Joseph.    They    stopped    at    a   house 


which  had  been  selected  as  the  "inn" 
for  the  evening,  rapped  on  the  door 
and  asked  admittance. 

The  head  of  the  house  and  his 
wife  appeared  and  refused  their  re- 
quest, explaining  that  there  was  no 
room  for  them  in  the  inn.  There- 
upon the  friends  accompaning  Mary 
and  Joseph  begged  earnestly  that 
the  young  couple  be  admitted,  ex- 
plaining that  they  were  poor  and 
that  the  wife  was  soon  to  become  a 
mother  and  needed  shelter  for  her- 
self and  her  baby. 

The  innkeeper  was  adamant  and 
only  after  more  pleading  did  he 
relent.  When  the  door  was  opened, 
all  entered  the  house.  The  Rosary 
was  said,  a  hymn  was  sung  and  more 
prayers  were  offered.  The  ceremony 


ended  with  the  passing  of  refresh- 
ments. 

On  the  following  evening  the 
group  returned,  thanked  t  h  e  inn- 
keeper for  his  hospitality  and  march- 
ed in  procession  to  the  next  "inn." 
Christmas  Eve  was,  of  course,  the 
climax  of  La  Posada.  After  entering 
the  house  and  offering  prayers,  all 
joined  in  singing  lullabies  to  the 
newborn   Infant  Jesus. 

Unfortunately,  this  fine  custom 
has  become  considerably  curtailed  in 
recent  years,  but  it  will  not  soon 
be  forgotten. 

Anaheim  has  another  custom  that 
I  did  not  learn  about  until  after  a 
long  residence  here.  No  doubt  this

cSUi  taincd  the  San  Gabriel  mount- 
ain range  w  h  i  c  h  sweeps  its  blue 
heights  across  the  north  of  Pasadena 
until  it  recedes  into  the  distance  of 
San  Bernardino  county.  The  swathe 
of  the  proposed  Foothill  Freeway,  a 
garden-like  green  belt  now  had 
swallowed  up  the  land  where  the 
East  Pasadena  Boys  Club  had  been 
established  22  years  ago  by  Tommy 
Thompson  and  Kenneth  Cartzdafner. 
the  son  of  Aimee  a  member  of  Pasa- 
dena No.  290  and  her  husband 
Percy.  When  the  Villa  street  facilit\ 
was  completed  and  dedicated  the 
two  men  realized  that  East  Pasadena 
needed  a  unit  laso.  With  an  Arm\ 
quonset  hut  as  the  first  clubhouse 
the  project  began. 

Tlien  came  the  Freeway  and  the 
need  for  new  quarters.  So  today  was 
THE  day  and  at  3230  E.  Del'  Mar 
Blvd.  the  people  were  gathering  in 
the  parking  area  to  await  the  honored 
guest.  .A  platform  had  been  erected 
with  chairs,  flags,  speakers  pulpit 
and  microphone. 

Brightly  dressed  in  red  jackets 
and  blue  trousers  with  white  stripes 
down  the  sides  the  Pasadena  Boys 
Club  Band  played  several  bounc\ 
show  tunes.  Small  boys  and  girls 
clustered  closely  to  the  rostrum  and 
photographers  set  up  their  tripods. 

Native  Daughters  from  Pasadena 
Parlor  were  in  attendance,  some 
standing  in  the  shade  of  the  sycamore 
trees  and  others  like  myself  close  up 
to  take  snapshots  of  the  V.I.P.'s. 

A  half  hour  after  the  announced 
arrival  time,  while  the  band  valiantly 
played  on  under  the  excellent  direc- 
tion of  Paul  Kiliam,  a  shout  arose, 
"He's  here!"  a  n  d  we  craned  our 
necks  and  stood  on  tiptoe  to  get  the 
first  glimpse  of  our  handsome 
Governor  Ronald  Reagan.  Escorted 
by  three  boys.  Frank  Laughlin.  Craig 
Yamaoka  and  Manuel  Morris,  one 
from  each  branch  of  B  o  y  s  Club. 
Governor  Reagan  greeted  the  audi- 
ence. He  smiled  at  the  "Reagan 
Girls"  from   La  Canada   and   Pasa-

proceeded  into  the  new  buildings  on 
the  tour  with  his  aides  and  the  Club 
officials. 

Meanwhile  John  Hoover,  Boys 
Club  Board  president,  opened  the 
program.  The  National  Anthem 
was  played;  the  Pledge  of  Allegiance 
led  by  Phil  Musik^of  the  P. B.C. 
b  a  n  d  and  the  Invocation  by  Dr. 
Wesley  P.  Ford  of  the  First  Christ- 
ian Church  of  Pasadena.  Mr.  Hoover 
said  that  the  new  building  cost  about 
half  a  million  dollars,  of  which  about 
4.'^'7  had  been  received  in  cash  and 
pledges  to  date.  Alta  Ryerson,  past 
president  of  Pasadena  Parlor  and 
Campership  secretary  of  the  Boys 
Club  presented  a  Bear  flag  from  the 
Parlor  to  Mr   Hoover. 


Local  dignitaries  present  were 
John  Adams,  vice-mayor  of  Pasa- 
dena, Donald  Yokaitis  and  Floyd 
Gwinn,  Board  members  from  the 
East  Pasadena  districts  and  Richard 
John  president  of  the  Pasadena 
Chamber  of  Commerce. 

A  charming  incident  occured.  A 
lad  from  Boy  Scout  Troop  No.  38, 
Cory  Cierk,  presented  a  Hallowe'en 
pumpkin  for  Governor  Reagan. 
While  the  band  played  a  medley  of 
"It's  a  Grand  Old  Flag"  and  "I'm 
a  Yankee  Doodle  D  a  n  d  y"  the 
security  guards  "checked  out"  the 
pumpkin  and  okehed  it  with  a  smile 
and  a  nod. 

At  2:30  Governor  Reagan 
mounted  the  platform,  congratulated 
the  band  and  accepted  a  plaque  with 
man  and  boy  figures  on  it. 

Noticing  how  nattily  the  governor 
was  dressed  the  lady  by  my  side 
commented  that  his  suit  was  in  olive 
toned  stripes  with  a  matching  dark 
gray-green  windsor  tic.  His  white 
shirt  had  french  cuffs  and  handsome 
gold  cuff  links. 

Governor  Reagan  speaks  easily. 
has  a  warm  smile  and  friendly  man- 
ner and  amused  us  with  a  storv 
about  when  he  was  a  boy.  As  he 
couldn't  play  an  instrument  he  was 
made  the  drum-major.  In  a  parade 
one  time  he  was  following  a  man 
on  a  white  horse.  When  the  horse- 
man turned  aside  he  kept  straight 
ahead.  Surprisingly  the  music  faded 
away  and  when  he  finally  looked 
back  he  found  he  was  marching 
alone  as  the  band  had  followed  the 
horseman  around  the  corner! 

As  we  were  waiting  for  our  car 
at  the  curbing  I  turned  for  a  last 
look  at  our  honored  visitor  still  on 
the  platform  surrounded  by  clamor- 
ing youngsters  w  h  o  wanted  his 
autograph. 

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


fOSEPH  HAMPTON  KERR  Came 
from  his  native  Pennsylvania  on 
the  steamer  llias  in  the  spring  of 
1852,  crossing  the  Isthmus  of  Pan- 
ama and  arriving  in  San  Francisco  on 
the  steamer  Golden  Gate  on  May  27. 
He  was  a  blacksmith,  and  followed 
his  trade  in  Nevada  County  until 
September,  1856  when  he  located  at 
Old  Elk  Grove,  a  post  office  and 
Ntage  stop.  While  there  he  purchased 
a  squatter's  title  to  160  acres,  which 
he  later  purchased.  Kerr  married 
Angeline  Worthington  who  had  come 
across  the  plains  from  Iowa  with  her 
family. 

He  built  a  fine  Uvo-story  Cali- 
fornia style  home  in  1877  at  a  cost 
of  S3,000  for  his  family,  of  redwood 
and  square  nails  to  endure  for  future 
generations.  It  had  four  bedrooms 
on  the  second  floor,  a  parlor  for 
elite  company,  a  sitting  room,  a  din- 
ing room,  a  huge  kitchen  and  a  hall 
hall  way  running  the  full  length  of 
the  first  floor.  An  ornate  Italian 
marble  fireplace  heated  the  high 
ceiling  rooms  and  tall  windows  add- 
ed to  the  spaciousness  of  the  large 
rooms.  A  balustratcd  balcony  sup- 
ported by  four  Corinthian  columns 
commanding  a  sweeping  view  of  the 
countryside  from  the  upper  story: 
bay  windows  with  windows  seats 
looked  across  the  vineyards  and  fer- 
tile fields.  A  graceful  walnut  ban- 
istercd  staircase  curved  to  the  upper

floor,  and  the  large  carved  oak  door 
with  its  ornate  knocker  was  always 
open  with  the  hospitality  for  which 
Kerrs  were  noted. 

It  was  a  showplace  and  had  a 
setting  to  match.  Beautiful  shade  and 
ornamental  shrubs  and  trees  sur- 
rounded the  house;  including  orange 
trees,  a  large  magnolia,  and  a  tall 
stately  ivy  covered  palm.  Oleanders 
and  magnificant  locusts  lined  the 
driveway  to  the  carriage  house  at 
the  rear,  a  fountain  played  near  the 
bay  windows,  and  a  white  picket 
fence  enclosed  the  premises. 

He  had  two  orchards  with  cher- 
ries, figs,  persimmons,  peaches  and 
apricots,  a  12-  acre  vineyard  and 
also  raised  hay  and  grain.  He  made 
his  own  wine  from  his  grapes  in  the 
wine  cellar  he  constructed  on  his 
property,  and  his  well  built  bams 
and  corrals  housed  many  head  of 
blooded  horses  and  cattle.  Irrigation 
was  by  a  number  of  windmills. 

He  was  known  far  and  wide  as  a 
prominent,  civic  minded,  progres- 
sive, farsighted  individual,  and  a 
staunch  Republican  whose  first  presi- 
dential vote  was  cast  for  Zachary 
Taylor. 

He  donated  the  property  for  the 
first  Elk  Grove  High  School  in  1893 
when  the  Elk  Grove  Union  High 
School  was  organized.  He  also  gave 
a  lot  in  1 893  to  the  Women's 
Christian  Temperance  Union  on  Elk 


Grove  Boulevard  and  Derr  Avenue. 
They  established  the  first  free 
county  library  in  California. 

The  name  of  Joseph  Kerr  is  per- 
petuated in  memory  through  the 
naming  of  the  Joseph  Kerr  Junior 
High  School  in  June,   1964.

TOURNAMENT 

OF 

ROSES 

FLOAT 


PPROXIMATELY  600  Native 
Sons  and  Native  Daughters  of 
the  Golden  West  attended  the  Luau 
at  the  Tiki's  in  Monterey  Park.  The 
event  was  sponsored  by  the  Tourna- 
ment of  Roses  Float  Committee 
composed  of  members  from  both 
Orders.  This  year's  NDGW  state 
chairman  is  Vera  Popov,  Past  Presi- 
dent of  Grace  No.  242.  Others  on 
the  committee  are  Helen  Trammell 
and  Hilda  Garcia.  Assisting  for  the 
event  were  Past  State  Float  Chair- 
men Evelyn  Henry  and  Philomena 
Wooster.

NDGW;  State  Chairman  Vera  Po- 
pov; Don  Porter,  Forestry  Service; 
Joe  Phelps,  NS  Slate  Chairman  and 
Don  Bent,  Float  Builder. 

DECEMBER,   1970 


NSGW  State  Chairman  Joe  Phelps 
introduced  the  grand  officers  in 
attendance  —  Irene  Bondanza, 
Grand  President;  Betty  Read  Curi- 
lich,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Grand  Trustees;  Laura  Blosdale, 
GT;  Eileen  Dismuke,  PGP.  Dignit- 
aries of  the  NSGW  were  John  Kurtz. 
Grand  President  and  Jack  Henry, 
GT. 

Don  Bent,  member  of  Pasadena 
Parlor  NSGW,  who  was  awarded 
the  float  contract  by  the  Committee, 
displayed  an  artist's  conception  of 
the  1971  tournament  of  Roses 
Float  to  be  entered  by  NS-NDGW 
in  conjunction  with  the  United 
States  Forestry  Department. 

"Always  on  Duty"  is  the  theme 
of  the  float  and  will  feature  "Smokey 
the  Bear"  on  fire  watch.  Posters, 
created  with  fresh  flowers,  will  de- 
pict the  best  Fire  Prevention  posters 
for  the  past  twenty-five  years  which 
will  be  on  moving  panels  turned  by 
two  cub  bears. 

"It  is  a  very  timely  and  colorful 
float  and  we  hold  great  expectations 
that  it  may  be  a  winner"  expressed 
Don  Porter,  Assistant  Information 
Officer  for  the  United  States  Forestry 
Department. 

This  year,  as  in  the  past,  the  appli 
cation  of  the  flowers  will  be  done  by 
volunteer  members  of  both  Orders. 
Many  hands  are  needed  to  see  the 
project  through.  As  one  Native 
Daughter  who  has  worked  on  every 
float  entry  from  the  past  20  years 
remarked  "It  is  such  a  wonderfully 
rewarding  experience  to  see  our  float 
go  down  Colorado  Avenue  in  Pasa- 
dena in  one  of  the  world's  greatest 
parades  which  is  also  witnessed  by 
millions  on  TV  via  telestar  all  over 
the  world,  that  all  the  work  it 
entails  is  worth  it." 

Members  and  friends  who  wish  to 
help  in  building  the  float  State  Chair- 
man Vera  Popov  will  be  glad  to 
greet  you  at  the  new  Tournament 
Bldg.,'700  Seco  Street,  December 
26  to  31  from  10  a.m.  to  6  p.m.

pete  more  equally  with  Junior  Drill 
Teams  from  other  organizations  and 
to  extend  their  activities  to  include 
field  competitions. 

Former  "Suburbanette"  Drill 
Teams  have  held  the  title  of  Native 
Daughter  State  Champions  for  many 
years  (when  the  participation  of 
other  Junior  Drill  Teams  of  the 
Order  formed  the  nucleus  for  a 
State  Native  Daughter  contest),  and 
for  four  years  the  team  won  the 
title  of  Open  State  Champion  Junior 
Girls'  Drill  Team. 

These  past  achievements  have 
never  been  forgotten  and  the  present 
team  has  much  to  accomplish,  but 
their  aim  is  to  once  more  become 
the  top  Junior  Drill  Team  in  Cali- 
fornia by  winning  the  Open  State 
Championship  title  in  the  annual 
field  contest  held  yearly  in  Snnta

November  5,  1970.  A  delicious  din- 
ner was  enjoyed  by  31  members. 
The  tables  were  decorated  in  red. 
white  and  gold.  Honored  euests 
were  DGP  Howard  and  Si5dGP 
Goehler.  Chairmen  of  the  evening 
were  Marie  Smith  and  Mary  Ausano. 


A  young  lawyer  opened  his  office  in 
his  father's  dry  cleaning  eslablishmenl.  In 
the  window  he  placed  a  sign  which  read: 
"Suits  Pressed.  Attorney  at  Law."  No. 
the  local  bar  association  didn't  think  it 
was  funny. 


California's  first  grapes  were  of  the 
Mission  variety.  They  made  a  good,  white 
dessert  wine.

custom  is  so  intensely  personal  in 
,  its  nature  that  those  who  observe 
I  it  seldom  speak  of  it. 


I      It  was  not  until  about  twenty 

'  years  ago  that  I  chanced  to  visit  our 
pioneer  cemetery  during  the  Christ- 
mas holidays.  I  saw  more  flowers 
there  than  on  a  Memorial  Day.  Pre- 
dominating were  poinsettia  plants 
and  wreaths  of  holly  tied  with  big 

;  bows  of  red  ribbon,  dripping  with 

I  sparkling  ornaments. 


Then  there  were  the  little  Christ- 
mas trees.  I  choked  with  emotion  as 
I  approached  the  grave  of  a  little 
girl.  At  the  head  of  the  tiny  mound 
stood  a  little   fir  tree  covered  with

tinsel  and  loaded  with  wee,  shining 
balls,  At  the  top  hung  a  doll  wrapped 
in  cellophane. 

I  am  greatly  moved  when  I  mental- 
ly relive  this  experience.  Christmas- 
time is  indeed  a  season  of  joy.  but 
it  also  has  its  heartaches.

hope  in  our  despair. 

'J»»  New  experience  through  a  rad-

^OHANN    GUTENBERG'S    PRINTING    ptCSS    is    but    a    Step 

^^  in  advance  of  the  old  wine  press,  and  Charles  Rust's 
Washington  hand  press  is  but  a  refinement  of  Gutenberg's 
invention. 

R.  Hoe  &  Company  gained  control  of  Rust's  patents 
and  plans  in  1838  and  thereafter  manufactured  large 
number  of  these  presses,  many  of  which  printed  the 
pioneer  newspapers  of  the  West. 

It  was  on  one  of  these  pieces  of  equipment  that  John 
A.  Lewis  and  John  McElroy  first  printed  the  Los  Angeles 
Star  which  made  its  debut  on  May  17,  1851.  The  first 
issue  consisted  of  four  pages  of  five  columns  each.  A 
Spanish  section,  subtitled  La  Estrella.  was  edited  by 
Manuel  Clemente  Rojo,  a  local  attorney. 

The  Star  struggled  along  until  January  14,  1856, 
when  it  was  acquired  by  Henry  Hamilton,  an  excellent 
writer  and  a  fervent  Democrat.  During  the  Civil  War  he 
bitterly  assailed  President  Lincoln.  The  nomination  of 
General  McClellan  as  the  Democratic  standard  bearer  in 
1864  was  a  bitter  pill.  After  all,  how  would  one  demand 
peace  and  at  the  same  time  select  a  General  for  a  candi- 
date? 

Due  to  financial  difficulties  occasioned  by  his  virulent 
attacks  on  the  Administration,  the  Star  suspended  pub- 
lication on  October  1,  1864. 

Phineas  Banning,  founder  of  Wilmington,  acquired  the 
Star's  press  and  equipment  and  on  November  1 1  issued 
a  new  paper  which  he  called  the  Star  until  Janu;u7  14, 
1865,    when    the    name    was    changed    to    Wilmington 

JANUARY,   1971 


Journal.  The  paper's  press  was  used  in  printing  the 
Irresistable,  a  "Banning  for  Senator"  sheet.  The  Journal 
retired  on  June  22,  1867,  Banning  pointing  out  that  the 
Los  Angeles  Republican  was  now  well  enough  established 
to  meet  the  needs  of  the  Republication  party. 

The  veteran  Washington  hand  press  lay  idle  until 
1870  when  Banning  gave  it  to  George  W.  Barter  to  print 
Orange  County's  first  newspaper,  the  Anaheim  Gazette 
It  was  moved  to  a  building  on  the  northeast  comer  of 
Anaheim  Boulevard  and  Lincoln  Avenue  in  Anaheim 
and  the  first  issue  of  the  Gazette  appeared  on  October 
29,  1870.  In  the  following  year  Barter  sold  the  paper 
to  Charles  A.  Gardner,  who  changed  its  name  to  the 
Southern  Californian  on  December  16,  1871.  Gardner 
sold  the  paper  to  Richard  A.  Melrose  and  George  C. 
Knox  in  the  following  year.  Knox  retired  from  the  firm 
in  1875,  selling  out  his  interest  to  F.  A.  Athearn. 

The  Gazette  was  moved  to  the  second  story  of  Kuchel 
Hall,  a  wooden  structure  on  the  east  side  of  Anaheim 
Boulevard  midway  between  Lincoln  Avenue  and  Char- 
tress  Street.  According  to  a  contemporary  news  item, 
"it  took  some  doing"  to  get  the  heavy  press  up  the  stairs. 

Shortly  before  midnight,  on  January  16,  1877,  fire 
broke  out  in  a  neighboring  building.  As  the  town  was 
without  a  fire  department,  the  flames  spread  rapidly  and 
quickly  enveloped  Mrs.  Kuchel's  building,  completely 
destroying  it.  The  Washington  hand  press,  which  had 
faithfully  served  three  newspapers  became  ;i  mass  nf 
warped  and  tangled  iron.

OFFICIAL  VISIT 

Grand  President  Irene  Bondanza 
made  her  official  visit  to  Reina  del 
Mar  No.  126  and  Tierra  de  Oro 
No.  304,  Sanla  Barbara  on  Decem-

took  prominence  over  the  holiday 
season  -  the  birth  date  of  the  Christ 
Child,  which  we  always  observe  at 
this  time  of  the  year,  and  the  com- 
ing birthday  of  Reina  del  Mar  on

will  celebrate  its  70th  year  of  ser- 
vice to  the  Native  Daughters  of  the

Parlor  taking  place  on  December  10. 
just  five  days  before  the  official  visit.

the  special  significance  of  the  birth- 
days of  the  two  hostess  Parlors,  and 
with  special  permission  from  the 
Grand  Presidents,  took  the  form  of 
an  open  meeting  preceded  by  a  din-

Andreas  Pico  Adobe  in  Mission 
Hills.  Greeting  guests  was  Edie  Bart- 
lett,  parlor  president  and  Audrey

which  previously  have  been  held  at 
San  Fernando  Mission  and  the  Har- 
rington's adobe  residence.  The  Pico 
Adobe,  dating  back  to  1834  is  the 
second  oldest  residence  in  Los 
.Angeles  city  limits  and  was  restored 
by  Dr.  Harrington  in  1930.  It  is 
now  owned  by  the  City  of  Los 
Angeles  and  administratered  by  the 


San  Fernando  Valley  Historical

under  the  chairmanship  of  Marie

used  for  the  Parlor's  holiday  welfare 
program  which  included  two  families 
with  a  total  of  15  children  and  to  an 
Indian  widow  in  Newhall.

candies  then  drove  her  to  the  meet- 
ing hall  where  our  Grand  President 
was  welcomed  bv  the  three  hostess

a  luncheon  before  a  short  meeting. 
Charter  member  Mabel  Walker  gave 
a  few  high  lights  of  the  initiation  of

Ballad  of  James  Lick 

by  Margaret  Hayes 

James  Lick  sailed  through  the 
Golden  Gate 
To   Verba    Buena's   shore 
The  LADY  ADAM's  shipper 
shrugged 
And  called  him  daft  and  more. 


No  man  with  mind  would  want  to 
buy 
A  cow-pathed  sanded  waste 
But  one-suit  Lick  made  up  his 
mind 
■And  bought  —  though   not  in 
haste. 


The  villagers  all  thought  him  fool 
To  pay  out  forty-grand 

For  wind-swept  dunes  and  barren 
lots  — 
At  best,  expensive  sand. 


I 


The  cow-path,   now   Montgomery 
Street, 
Lick  bought  and  sold  again. 
With  gold-thumb  touch  he  got  more 
land 
And  prospered  his  domain. 


A  miser-millionaire  was  Lick  Hj 

Who   worked   and   walked   alone. 

In  a  world  turned  gold-dust  mad,  he 
was 
A  scavenger  for  bone. 

But  the  daft  one  held  his  dream  for 
years 
Then  gave  all  his  wealth  away. 
He  helped  the  poor  and  brought 
renown 
To  his  City  by  the  Bay.

Chairman,  and  her  committee,  Gene- 
vieve Parks  and  Vivian  Hall,  pre- 
pared a  festive  and  gala  party  and

into  the  room. 

A  glass  of  bright  red  punch  was 
served  upon  entering  the  room.  The 
tables  were  covered  with  Christmas 
decorations,  and  the  meal  served 
was  fit  for  royalty.  Prepared  and 
served  by  Al  Heard  and  his  assist- 
ants, the  dinner  started  with  a  lovely 


apple  salad,  then  roast  beef,  with 
broccoli  and  mashed  potatoes,  rolls 
and  butter,  and  topped  off  with  ice 
cream  on  top  of  cake  and  coffee 
for  dessert.

est Christmas  parties  Orinda  Parlor 
has  had,  and  certainly  one  of  the 
happiest  evenings  in  1970.

Chances  are  some  of  the 
electricity  you  now  use  is 
generated  at  the  San 
Onof  re  Nuclear  Plant  near 
Sem  Clemente. 

Edison  plans  to  add 
additional  nuclear  units  at 
this  site.  One  reason:  in  a 
nuclear  reactor  there  is  no 


combustion,  so  there  are 
no  by-products  of  combus- 
tion. Electricity  from  clean 
nuclear  plants  is  one  of  the 
ways  Edison  is  working  to- 
day for  a  better  tomorrow.

fHE  VOLUMES  AND  documents  of 
Archive -Library  date  to  the 
.ery  founding  of  Mission  Santa  Bar- 
bara, December  4,  1786,  including 
the  registers  of  baptisms,  marriages 
and  deaths  in  the  hand  of  Father 
Presidente,  Fray  Fermin  Francisco 
de  Lasuen,  and  the  already  used 
registers  inscribed  by  Padre  Junipero 
Serra  for  the  Presidio  of  Santa  Bar- 
bara. April  21,  1782.  In  the  early 
period  of  its  existence  the  two 
entities,  archivo  and  biblioteca  — 
iarchive  and  library,  were  referred 
to  as  such,  and  in  1833  Padre 
Narciso  Duran.  president  of  the 
missions,  transferred  his  head- 
quarters from  Mission  San  Jose  to 
Mission  Santa  Barbara,  bringing 
with  him  all  the  documents  of  the 
mission  chain  which  had  accu- 
mulated since  1769.  These  have  re- 


mained at  Mission  Santa  Barbara 
since  that  time.  Thus,  Mission  Santa 
Barbara  became  the  final  depository 
of  the  documents  of  the  early  mis- 
sion period. 

Mission  Santa  Barbara  is  the  only 
mission  of  the  twenty-one  founded 
between  1769  and  1823,  in  which  the 
Franciscan  padres  have  continued 
to  live  uninterruptedly  since  its 
founding.  Between  1854  and  1885. 
the  mission  became  an  apostolic  col- 
lege or  seminary  and  for  a  period  of 
that  time  was  also  a  boarding  school 
for  students  of  high  school  and  col- 
lege age  who  studied  here  for  secular 
pursuits.  The  correspondence  for  this 
period  has  also  been  preserved, 
forming  a  new  collection  in  the  ar- 
chives. The  total  number  of  original 
documents  for  the  period  between 
1769  and  1885,  comprising  the  His- 


Mision  La  Reina  de  Santa  Barbara

panic  and  College  periods,  amounts 
to  over  3,000  ranging  from  one  to 
fifty  pages  and  more  per  docu- 
ment. 

In  1968  the  mission  archive  fell 
heir  to  the  De  la  Guerra  Collection, 
the  second  largest  family  collection 
of  documents  after  the  Vallejo  Col- 
lection of  the  state.  These  comprise 
over  12,000  pages  of  original  mater- 
ial. In  time  they  e.xtend  from  1798 
until  about  1885,  and  cover  every 
phase  of  activity  in  California  dur- 
ing the  Spanish,  Mexican  and  Earh 
American  periods,  military,  political, 
religious,  commercial.  maritime, 
Indian  and  Mission  affairs.  These 
documents  are  arranged  in  alpha- 
betical order.  Those  for  the  mission 
period.  1769  to  1885.  are  arranged 
in  chronological  order. 

In  recent  years  xeroxed  copies  of 
the  Alexander  Taylor  Collection 
from  the  Archdiocesan  Archives  in 
San  Francisco,  amounting  to  over 
2.300  documents  have  been  obtained 
for  the  Santa  Barbara  Mission  Ar- 
chive. These  documents  to  a  great 
extent  comprise  the  correspondence 
between  the  California  missionaries 
and  the  governors  and  military  and 
cixil  officials  of  California  until 
IS4<S.  These  copies  have  been  in- 
grated  with  copies  of  the  original 
mission  documents  because  the  mat- 
ter in  both  pertains  to  the  same  or 
similar  categories. 

From  the  Honold  Library.  Clare- 
mont,  copies  of  several  hundred 
documents  of  a  genealogical  nature 
were  obtained  for  the  archives.  Cop- 
ies of  documents  in  photographic, 
photostatic  and  xerox  form,  several 
thousand  in  number,  have  been 
obtained  by  the  archivist,  the  Rev. 
Maynard  Geiger,  O.F.M..  between 
1941  and  the  present  year,  from  the 
principal  archives  of  Spain,  Mexico.

the  United  States  aiu!  R  o  m  e,  to 
supplement  the  original  material  pre- 
served here  from  the  beginning.  The 
chief  archives  in  i|uestion  are  those 
of  Sevilla,  Madrid,  and  Mallorca  in 
Spain,  the  three  extensive  archives 
in  Mexico  City,  Huntington  and 
Bancroft  Libraries  in  California,  the 
University  of  Texas  in  Austin,  and 
a  host  of  smaller  archives  and  libr- 
aries, both  private  and  public. 

A  digest  of  each  document  has 
been  made  through  the  years  and 
these,  together  with  the  names  of  the 
sender  and  recipient,  the  date,  year 
and  place  of  origin,  a  statement  as 
to  the  number  of  pages,  the  type  of 
document,  original,  photo,  photo- 
stat, xerox  or  transcript,  with  a  given 
serial  number,  have  been  typed  into 
ten  loose-leaf  binders  which  re- 
searchers may  consult  prior  to  using 
the  documents.  The  total  docu- 
mentation amounts  to  slightlv  over 
75,000  pages. 

Access  to  the  archive  proper  is 
not  permitted.  The  archivist  attend- 
ant brings  the  required  documents 
to  the  library  room  where  the  re- 
search is  understaken.  The  recipient 
signs  for  each  document  received, 
one  at  a  time,  and  receives  a  receipt 
upon  its  return.  As  a  rule  originals 
are  not  consulted.  They  are  kept  in 
a  safe  for  their  better  preservation. 
Qualified  students,  usually  from  col- 
lege age  on,  teachers,  writers,  re- 
searchers are  most  welcome  to  use 
the  archives.  For  the  greater  num- 
ber of  documents,  a  knowledge  of 
Spanish  is  necessary.  Others  are  in 
Latin,  French  and  Italian,  while  a 
significant  number  of  the  De  la 
Guerra  Collection,  especially  those 
after  1848,  are  in  English. 

The  Library  is  a  supplementary 
to  the  archives.  It  contains  the  ori- 
ginal books  of  the  California  mis- 
sionaries, which  they  purchased  in 
Spain  and  Mexico.  The  books  of 
the  Colleges  of  San  Fernando,  Mex- 
ico City,  and  of  the  College  of 
Guadalupe.  Zacatecas,  are  repre- 
sented in  this  collection.  They  are 
bound  for  the  most  part  in  leather 
and  vellum,  their  origin  dating  from 
the  sixteenth  the  nineteenth  centur- 
ies. They  number  about  3,000,  and 
are  classified  a.s  encyclopedias, 
dictionaries,  histories,  biographies. 
literature,  agriculture,  music,  math- 
matics.  Scripture,  ethics,  civil  and 
canon  law,  architecture,  hagiography.

and  religion  in  general.  These  have 
been  catalogued  in  chronological 
order.  The  remainder  of  the  books, 
some  3, ()()()  in  number,  in  the  main 
relate  to  Spain  and  Hispanic  Amer- 
ica. 

The  storage  rooms  in  the  basement 
house  a  large  selection  of  reference 
tools  relating  to  the  Hispanic  back- 
ground, and  include  three  bound 
copies  of  the  ancestors  of  the  Santa 
Barbara  New.s-Press  for  the  1870's 
and  1880's,  as  well  as  bound  and 
loose  copies  of  many  California  and 
out-of-state  newspapers,  especially 
commemorative  editions.  There  are 
100  large  scrapbooks  with  material 
going  back  to  the  nineteenth  century 
on  such  items  as  Junipcro  Serra, 
the  missions  in  general  and  parti- 
cular. El  Camino  Real,  many  on 
Santa  Barbara,  civic  affairs,  and 
Franciscan  developments  in  the 
west,  etc.,  since  1885.  There  is  a 
large  section  of  articles  on  Hispanic 
and  Hispanic-American  items,  per- 
sonages, places,  and  things,  dating 
from  the  1880's  to  the  present,  fill- 
ing twenty  files,  alphabetically  ar- 
ranged. 

In  a  special  room  there  are  pre- 
served about  12,000  photographs  of 
the  late  mission  period  in  California. 
Spain  and  Mexico,  categorically 
arranged  in  boxes  of  proper  size,  a 
small  section  of  original  mission 
music,  over  1,000  brochures  and 
pamphlets,  a  significant  number  of 
which  are  long  out  of  print  and 
valuable  for  the  period  in  which  they 
appeared.  The  Archive-Library 
likewise  has  a  limited  number  of 
old  maps  and  some  copies  of  disenos 
of  Santa  Barbara  and  Ventura 
Counties'  land  grants  of  the  past 
century.  Some  selected  historical 
paintings  and  sketches  adorn  the 
area  of  the  archives,  such  as  the 
Ferdinand  Deppe  painting  of  Mis- 
sion San  Gabriel  done  in  1832,  the 
only  known  painting  of  a  mission 
before  scculari/alion.  the  water 
color  painting  of  the  mission  and 
presidio  chapel  done  by  J.  N.  Alden 
in  1853,  thirteen  Borein  mission 
drawings  and  others  by  Alexander 
Harmer  and  Russell  Ruiz. 

The  new  archive  wing  of  three 
stories,  built  of  steel  and  concrete, 
fire-proof  and  earthquake  proof, 
constructed  in  1967-1968.  is  added

Oeorge  Harmon 's  Tale 

by  Margaret  f.  Hayes 


When  miles  and  years  bore  down  on 

him 
Like  grind  of  an  avalanche 
Old  Charlie  left  the  mountain  route 
And  bought  himself  a  ranch. 

He  cast  his  ballot  in  Soquel 
When  only  MEN  could  vote. 
In  after  years  he  came  to  us 
Then  cancer  gnawed  his  throat. 


t^MO^'' 


Old  Charlie  was  my  father's  friend 
Old  Charlie  with  one  eye 
Who  lived  in  a  cabin  on  our  farm 
And  drank  his  nip  of  rye. 

He    had   left   New   England   for   the 

West 
At  bid  of  Stevens  and  Birch 
To  drive  their  California  stage 
In  the  golden  nugget  search. 

Old  Charlie  reckoned  a  hundred 

tales 
To  spell-bind  me  in  youth  .  .  . 
Of  orphanage  and  coach-and-six 
And  each  was  told  in  truth! 

There  was  clatter  and  click  of  horse- 
shoe steel 

In  his  stories  of  Mother  Lode 

And  a  bandit's  call,  "Throw  down 
that  box!" 

Near  oak-screened  bend  of  road. 

But  Charlie  Parkhurst's  answer  came 

In  flash  of  six-gun  lead  — 

A  crack  of  whip  on  his  leader's 

rump  — 
And  a  highwayman  lay  dead. 


GEORGE     HARMONS     TALE     is 

based  on  material  compiled  by  Mabel 
Rowe  Curtis  for  her  booklet.  THE 
COACHMAN  WAS  A  LADY,  pub- 
lished by  Pajara  Valley  Historical 
Association,  Watsonville.  California. 
George  Harmon  authenticated  the  dis- 
covery of  Charlie  Parkhurst's  sex  by 
the  statement  of  the  doctor  who 
attended  her  death  on  the  Harmon 
Ranch,  near  Watsonville.  In  reality. 
Charlie  Parkhurst  was  the  first  woman 
to  vole  in  the  United  States.  Her  grave 
is  in  the  Pioneer  Cementery,  Freedom 
Blvd.    Watsonville. 


"I've  something  to  tell  —  but  it 

can  wait," 
Old  Charlie  often  said  — 
My  father  wondered  what  it  was 
That  plagued  his  sick  friend's  head 

No  secret  came  from  the  stricken  one 
To  dad  or  any  human. 
Death  unmasked  the  mystery  — 
Old  Charlie  was  a  WOMAN.

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


by  QT  Helen  C.  McCarthy 


HiLE  VIEWING  AN  Admission 
Day  Parade  in  San  Francisco 
September,  1910,  a  young  girl  and 
her  girlfriend  decided  that  they 
wanted  to  be  members  of  the  Native 
Daughters  of  the  Golden  West.  They 
didn't  know  which  Parlor  they 
wanted  to  join  so  decided  that  they 
would  choose  the  Parlor  who  wore 
the  "'prettiest  dresses"  in  the  Parade. 
This  took  quite  a  bit  of  mindmak- 
ing  as  these  young  girls  were  very 
impressed  by  the  beauty  and  pag- 
eantry of  this  grand  Parade.  But 
they  finally  reached  their  decision 
when,  in  their  opinion,  the  "prettiest 
and  most  outstanding"  Unit  marched 
by.  Because  of  this  mementous 
decision,  PGP  Evelyn  1.  Carlson  and 
her  girlfriend  were  initiated  in 
Dolores  Parlor  No.  169  in  San 
Francisco  March  20.  1911. 

Little  did  the  Parlor  realize  that 
with  the  initiation  of  one  of  theie 
young  girls  how  much  the  Parlor 
and  our  Order  was  to  benefit  by 
her  membership.  Dolores  Parlor 
was  just  two  years  old  when  Evelyn 
joined  and  she  immediately  endeared 
herself  to  the  members,  because, 
then  as  now,  she  constantly  worked 
for  the  advancement  and  prosperity 
of  her  Parlor  by  actively  participat- 
ing on  all  Parlor  committees.  Not 
long  after  her  initiation  Evelyn  be- 
came an  officer  in  the  Parlor  and 
presided  as  Parlor  President  Janu- 
ary to  July  1915  during  the  Panama 
Pacific  Exposition.  In  1915  she 
served  on  her  first  State  Committee, 
appointed  by  Grand  President  May 
C.  Boldcmann  to  the  Extension  o 
the  Order  Committee.  She  ioireH 
Past  President's  Association  No.  1 
of  San  Francisco  August  7,  1917 
and  holds  the  distinction  of  being 
the  oldest  member  in  point  of  mem- 
bership, in  the  State  Past  President's 
Association  having  continuous  mem- 
bership 53'/2  years  in  the  Mother 
Association  No.   1. 

She  attended  her  first  Grand  Par- 
lor Convention  as  a  delegate  in  1915 
in  San  Francisco.   In    19 IS  she  was 

FEBRUARY,  1971 


appointed  Deputy  Grand  President 
to  Presidio  No.  148  in  San  Fran- 
cisco. Again,  in  1924  she  was  a 
delegate  to  the  Convention  held  in 
Santa  Cruz,  and  at  the  1925  Con- 
vention in  Placerville  she  aspired 
and  was  elected  to  the  office  of 
Grand  Outside  Sentinel.  In  rapid 
succession  of  years  she  was  elected 
and  served  as  Grand  Inside  Sentinel, 
Grand  Trustee,  Grand  Marshal, 
Grand  Vice  President,  and  became 
the  Order's  46th  Grand  President 
June  1931  in  Santa  Rosa.  This  short 
succession  of  six  years  attests  to  the 
high  esteem  the  members  of  the 
Order  held  for  Evelyn. 


PGP  Evelyn  I.  Carlson 

On  that  evening  in  June  1931  in 
Santa  Rosa  a  lovely  lady  took  over 
the  reins  of  our  Order,  dressed  in 
her  beautiful  white  taffeta  gown  with 
cerise  train,  surrounded  by  numer- 
ous large  red  roses  which  bedecked 
the  hall.  It  was  a  most  memorable 
evening,  many  honors  and  gifts  were 
extended,  only  marred  by  the  ab- 
sence of  her  dear  husband  and 
family  as  she  could  not  share  this 
grand  evening  with  them  because 
installations  then  were  not  public, 
no  drills  or  other  type  of  escort  were 
conducted. 

Grand  President  Evelyn's  pro- 
jects for  her  year  was  the  advance- 
ment of  Membership.  Homeless 
Children,  and  Veterans.  Her  pro- 
jects were  most  successful  during  her 


reign.  She  became  a  •'Fraternal 
Mother"  during  her  year  with  the 
the  addition  of  two  Parlors,  Ontario 
No.  251  of  Ontario,  December  19, 
1931  with  26  Charter  Members 
organized  by  PGP  Hazel  Hansen, 
and  Utopia  No.  252  of  San  Fran- 
cisco June  3,  1932  with  40  Charter 
Members  organized  by  Alice  Cum- 
mins. This  brought  a  total  of  162 
Parlors  in  the  Order.  She  created 
Sewing  Clubs  in  the  Parlors  through- 
out our  State  from  which  baby 
clothes  were  made  for  the  Homeless 
Children's  Committee.  It  was  re- 
ported by  the  Secretary  of  the  Com- 
mittee as  of  March  31,  1932  more 
garments  were  received  from  Par- 
lors than  in  any  previous  year,  that 
the  response  to  the  call  from  Grand 
President  Evelyn  for  baby  layettes 
was  almost  unbelievable  and  that 
100  boxes  filled  with  baby  garments 
were  received.  Veterans'  Welfare  en- 
joyed a  most  profitable  1931-32 
year.  Monetary  donations  were 
needed  and  a  call  for  donations  went 
out  September  29.  1931  and  at  the 
end  of  October  1931.  103  Parlors 
had  responded.  By  the  end  of  the 
t?rm  156  Parlors  had  contributed  to 
this  project  enabling  the  committee 
to  send  donations  to  various  United 
States  Administration  and  Govern- 
ment Hospitals  and  during  this  vear 
added  the  United  States  Naval  Hos- 
pitals at  Mare  Island  and  San 
Diego.  It  was  reported  by  the  State 
Chairman  that  more  monies  were 
received  during  1931-32  than  ar> 
pre\ious  year. 

Grand  President  Evelyn  presided 
at  Convention  1932  in  Merced. 
Governor  James  Rolph.  who  was  a 
member  of  the  Native  Sons,  flew 
from  Sacramento  to  escort  Evelyn 
in  the  Grand  March  and  he  present- 
ed a  basket  of  red  roses  to  t'^e 
Grand  Parlor.  It  was  a  largely  at- 
tended Grand  Parlor.  17  Grand 
Officers.  23  Past  Grand  Presidents, 
and  352  Delegates,  a  total  of  154 
Parlors  represented,  8  non-represent- 
ation. It  was  also  a  very  bus\ 
Grand  Parlor  having  lengthy  meet- 
ing Monday  through  Thursday  and 
an  evening  session  Thursday  even- 
ing preceding  Installation  of  Officers, 
but  it  was  a  successful  Grand  Parior 
ably  presided  over  and  conducted 
by  Grand  President  Evelyn.  Many 
gifts  and  honors  were  bestowed  on 
Evelyn  during  this  Convention  week.

EVELYN   I.  CARLSON  .  .  . 

(Continued  from  l'ai;c  7) 

Her  hand  of  friendship  was  extended 
to  all  in  attendance.  Many  friend- 
ships were  cemented  during  her 
years  as  a  Grand  Officer  and  dur- 
ing her  year  as  Grand  President.  On 
her  last  day  presiding  at  Grand  Par- 
lor Convention  in  Merced  she  told 
all  assembled  "the  ticking  of  the 
clock  would  ever  remind  her  of  the 
heart  beats  of  the  members". 

During  the  term  of  1932-33  while 
serving  as  Junior  Past  Grand  Presi- 
dent, Evelyn  was  the  first  Deputy 
Grand  President  appointed  to  her 
•'Baby  Parlor"  Utopia  No.  252.  Her 
patience,  guidance,  and  knowledge 
started  this  Parlor  of  just  a  few 
weeks  of  age  well  on  its  way  to 
taking  its  place  in  the  furtherance 
of  our  Order. 

Not  only  has  her  fraternal  love 
been  extended  to  the  senior  mem- 
bers of  the  Native  Daughters  but 
she  is  deeply  concerned  with  the 
welfare  and  progress  of  the  Junior 
Native  Daughters.  She  has  been  one 
of  the  advisors  of  Menlo  Junior  Unit 
No.  10  in  Menlo  Park  for  29  years. 
Her  guidance  and  knowledgable  ad- 
vising has  certainly  helped  to  make 
this  an  outstanding  Unit. 

Since  relinquishing  the  gavel  as 
Grand  President,  Past  Grand  Presi- 
dent Evelyn  has  continued  to  be  one 
of  our  businest  Native  Daughters, 
never  ceasing  in  furthering  the  Good 
of  the  Order.  She  has  served  as 
State  Chairman  of  Laws  and  Super- 
vision, Extension  of  the  Order,  Vete- 
rans, Junior  Native  Daughters,  Fin- 
ance, Appeals  and  Grievances  and 
Petitions,  Historical  Room,  1939 
San  Francisco  Grand  Parlor  Ses- 
sions, Printing  and  Supplies,  and 
served  on  Home  Committee,  State 
of  the  Order,  1954-55  San  Fran- 
cisco Grand  Parlor  Sessions,  this 
year  she  is  co-chairman  1971  San 
Francisco  Grand   Parlor  Sessions. 

Evelyn  has  received  many  honors 
these  past  many  years  not  only  as 
Grand  President  but  in  the  ensuing 
years.  Some  of  these  honors,  to  name 
a  few  —  each  year  at  Grand  Parlor 
a  luncheon  is  held  in  her  honor, 
this  yearly  luncheon  was  started  in 
1925  by  her  Parlor  when  she  first 
aspired  for  Grand  Office  and  we 
will  be  looking  forward  to  attending 
her  46th  annual  luncheon  at  Grand 
Parlor  this  June.  Her  Silver  Anniver- 
sary  as    presiding   Grand    President 

PAGE  8 


was  observed  at  the  Convention  in 
Oakland  in  1957  where  she  was 
introduced  at  the  Altar  flanked  by 
an  Honor  Guard  from  the  Alameda 
County  delegation  and  was  pre- 
sented with  a  Life  Membership  in 
Dolorcx  Parlor.  In  1968  the  Super- 
vising Deputy  and  Deputy  Grand 
Presidents  of  San  Mateo  County 
bestowed  an  honorary  membership 
in  Past  President's  Association  No. 
9  of  San  Mateo  County.  All  this 
further  attesting  to  the  esteem  and 
love  of  the  members  of  the  Order. 

Evelyn  Carlson  is  synonymous 
with  "Friendship".  She  has  extend- 
ed the  true  meaning  of  friendship  to 
all  she  has  met  along  this  60  year 
road  of  Native  Daughter  service. 
Friendship  has  always,  and  will  al- 
ways be,  uppermost  in  her  heart  and 
thoughts.  She  has  said  on  several 
occasions  "I  have  never  met  a 
member  of  the  Native  Daughters  I 
didn't  like"  and  as  she  told  the  550 
members  assembled  at  her  Home 
Coming  Official  Visit  June  1 1 , 
1932  — 
"A  friendship  isn't  just  a  word. 

It's  something  fine  and  true; 
New  ties  are  made,  old  love-dreams 
fade. 

But  still  I'm  friends  with  you. 
Our  friendship  isn't  just   today. 

It's  for  the  years  to  be. 
And  I  shall  find  no  fate  unkind 

While  you  are  friends  with  me." 

This  most  gracious  lady  has  given 
.so  very  much  service  to  her  beloved 
Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden 
West  and  now  as  she  approaches 
her  60th  Anniversary  in  our  Order 
on  March  20th,  we  arc  privileged 
and  proud  to  say. 

Dear  Evelyn: 

Thanks  for  the  memories  of  pro- 
gress,  work,   and  fun. 
Those  never  to  be  forgotten  years, 
the  joys  you  gave  to  everyone. 

We  thank  you  for  your  friendship, 
so  deep  and  warm  and  true. 
We  thank  you  for  allowing  us  to 
be  close  friends  with  you. 

You  helped  to  keep  our  Order 
great  because  you  took  the  time. 
To  dedicate  60  years  of  ser\ice 
with  a  heart  so  loving  and  kind. 

Your  YESTERDAYS  contributed 
many  achievements  for  our  Order. 
TOD.AY  you  emerge  as  one  of  our 
grandest  Native  Daughters. 


TOMORROW  brings  promise  of 

more  joys  to  come. 

From  a  lovely  Past  Grand  Pre  i 

dent  who  will  always  be  "forever 

young". 


We  take  this  opportunity  to  wi 
you  a  happy  60th  Anniversary 
With  our  love  so  deep  and  true, 
And  to  tell  you  we  are  better 
Native   Daughters 
Because  of  knowing  you.

^ong  Jlce, 
lenders  a  banquet 


Jong  lee,  the  wealthiest  Chinese 
merchant  in  Oroviiie,  and 
probably  in  Northern  California,  and 
likewise  the  most  progressive  one, 
tendered  his  American  friends  a 
magnificent  banquet  yesterday  after- 
noon at  his  residence  and  place  of 
business  at  the  foot  of  Lincoln 
Street.  The  affair  was  very  select 
and  was  given,  regardless  of  expense, 
with  true  Celestial  magnificence. 

The  dinner  was  announced  for 
4  p.m.  and  half  an  hour  before  that 
time  the  guests  found  themselves  at 
the  door  of  Fong  Lee's  store  where 
they  were  received  with  deep  cour- 
tesy by  the  host,  his  intimate  friem' 
and  associate  Hi  Loy,  and  a  retinue 
of  cousins,  clerks,  lackeys  and 
white-robed  coolies.  The  guests  were 
at  once  escorted  to  the  main  recep- 
tion room.  This  apartment  was  in 
a  state  of  gorgeous  decoration  and 
arranged  in  a  circle  around  the  room 
were  chairs  of  state,  high-backed, 
solid  ebony  affairs,  each  one  cover- 
ed with  silken  drapery  embt)ssed 
with  solid  gold  embroidery.  On  the 
walls  were  silken  placards  of  wel- 
come   which    being    intcrpertcd    by 

PAGE  10 


Fong    Lee    to    his    guests    signified: 

"Welcome   "Melican   Man, Heap 

Good  Fiend  Fong  Lee,"  "Melican 
Man  Will  Now  S  a  b  e  Chinaman 
Chow-chow,"  "Eat  Plenty  in  the 
Abode  of  Bliss,"  "When  the  Mouth 
is  Full,  forget  not  the  Benefactor," 
"Take  Cockel's  Pills  after  Dining," 
etc. 

The  preliminaries  were  com- 
menced by  the  serving  of  delicate 
Imperial  Moy  Une  tea,  imported  lor 
the  occasion  (contrary  to  the  Geary 
Act)  in  delicate  and  extremely  valu- 
able Gorody-Shonshi  ware,  which 
had  been  in  the  host's  family  for 
over  400  years.  At  this  stage  Fong 
Lee  announced  that  the  festivities  of 
the  occasion  would  soon  commence 
and  while  the  guests  drank  tea,  he 
would  bombard  the  devil  with  bombs 
and  firecrackers.  Giving  the  signal 
to  his  menials  the  fun  commenced. 

The  whole  front  of  the  elaborately 
decorated  building  was  hung  with 
festoons  of  firecrackers  worth  $75 
a  string,  while  from  the  subterranean 
store  rooms  coolies  in  flame  colored 
fire  proof  robes  brought  out  box 
after  box  of  bombs,  firecrackers  and 


daylight  illuminations,  and  for  hall 
an  hour  the  noise  was  deafening. 
After  the  devil  had  been  effectualb 
driven  Irom  the  premises  and  oui 
of  the  constitutions  of  the  guests,  to 
effect  which,  probably  SI 500  worth 
of  powder  had  been  burned.  Fong 
Lee  and  Hi  Loy,  preceded  by  a 
band  of  Chinese  musicians  led  the 
way  to  the  festival  board.  The  witch- 
ing harmonies  of  the  band  so  affect- 
ed the  guests  that  they  called  for  u 
renewal  of  the  bombardment. 

The  massive  teak  and  ebony 
tables,  inlaid  with  Mother-of-Pearii 
were  spread  with  Oriental  splendor 
in  the  dining  hall  opening  from  the 
main  reception  room.  The  hall  wa» 
likewise  decorated  with  silken  and 
cloth  of  gold  banners  bearing  mot- 
toes signifing,  as  the  host  explained, 
"Fong  Lee's  Venerable  Ancestors 
desire  W  e  I  c  o  m  e,"  "Big  'Melican 
Man'  Fat  Here  Today,"  "Melican 
Man  no  Talkee  Japan  War,"  and 
other  fitting  and  appropriate  say- 
ings. 

The  tables  were  models  of  neat- 
ness and  extravagant  elegance.  Pure 
yellow  Tusseh  silk  table  cloths,  raf-

1st  Moonga  silk  napkins,  each  em- 
Woidered  with  the  guest's  initials, 
ncient  ivory  bronze  and  gold  filigree 
hop  sticks  and  solid  silver  knives, 
orks  and  spoons  with  the  rarest  and 
lost  delicate  of  Chinaware  em- 
lossed  in  gold  and  worth  in  them- 
elves  a  fortune.  The  old  miners 
mong  the  guests  had  seen  vast 
tores  of  gold,  but  the  embellishment 
i|  this  Chinese  merchant's  table 
nade  their  eyes  bulge  to  a  degree 
hat  compensated  for  the  expansion 
)f  their  vests  after  the  feast. 

At  the  head  of  one  table  on  a 
aised  dias  sat  Fong  Lee,  attired  in 
;ountless  silk  brocaded  coats,  which 
IS  the  feast  progressed  and  the 
iressure  became  heavy,  he  discarded 
)ne  by  one  until  the  hem  of  his 
•xpensive  undershirt  was  apparent. 

At  his  right  sat  his  "good  fiend" 
vlajor  Frank  McLaughlin,  who  with 
irue  politeness,  copied  his  host  by 
jnbuttoning  various  portions  of  his 
iittire  occasionally,  and  down  on 
pither  side  sat  J.  A.  Lawrence, 
Banker  C.  H.  Schiveley.  H.  W. 
Smith,  G.H.  Cordy,  C.  H.  Deuel, 
3.  W.  Braden,  Judge  H.  C.  Hills, 
Vlajor  H.  V.  Reardan.  At  the  head 
.if  the  adjoining  table  sat  Hi  Loy 
-obed  in  a  gorgeous  combination  of 
green  silk,  red  satin,  gold  silver  and 
pearl  embroidery  and  E.  A.  Hal- 
Btead,  Senator  A.  F.  Jones,  H.  N. 
Almy,  George  F.  Geisse,  County 
Clerk  Ed  Harkness,  Carleton  Gray, 
iM.  Reyman,  O.  Enslow,  J.  V.  P.irks 
and  J.  A.  W  e  1  d  o  n.  Whiterobcd 
waiters  brought  in  the  dinner  in 
countless  courses. 

I  As  the  first  course  consisting  of 
japoetizing  pickles,  preserves  and 
Chinese  Cavair  was  being  removed. 
la  wild  refrain  burst  from  the  or- 
chestra, which  was  stationed  in  a 
-velvet  draped  alcove,  which  was  fol- 
[iowed  by  a  thunderous  discharge  of 
Ibombs.  So  alarming  was  the  peal, 
ithat  the  guests  feared  an  attack 
ifrom  the  Japanese  hordes  of  Biggs. 
;lt  speaks  volumes  for  the  civiliza- 
tion of  our  State,  that  only  thirteen 
ipistols  were  drawn  —  the  balance  of 
ithe  guests  being  armed  with  bowie 
Iknives. 

I  A  word  of  explanation  from  the 
1  polite  hosts  assuaged  these  ground- 
;less  fears,  and  thereafter  the  music 

of  the  orchestra  and  the  boom  of 
[firecrackers  were  drowned  by  the 
■  popping  of  champaign  corks. 

After  the  sixth  course  had   been 
'removed,    the    curtains    at    the    end 

of  the   main    room   were   drawn    to 


one  side  and  six  of  China's  loveliest 
dancing  maidens  were  disclosed  to 
the  guests.  The  stately  dances  or 
rather  motions,  of  the  ancient 
Chinese  ceremony  were  pictured  to 
the  delighted  guests.  The  curtain 
slowly  dropped  over  an  effective 
grouping  and  the  feast  resumed  its 
course. 


Words  would  fail  to  truly  depict 
the  gorgeousness  of  the  dances,  and 
our  reporter  confesses  himself  not 
equal  to  it  this  morning,  owing  to 
a  serious  tightness  above  the  ears. 
Curious  to  say,  this  epidemic  seems 
to  have  struck  the  leading  citizens 
of  the  town,  almost  all  the  offices 
bearing  notices,  "Called  out  of  town; 
back  tomorrow  at  noon."  After  the 
thirteenth  course,  Ki  Yang,  the 
Chinese  magician,  displayed  h  i  s 
marvelous  skill,  but  his  most  as- 
tounding feats  of  disappearance 
called  upon  the  guests  who  had  been 
watching  Surveyor  Enslow's  atten- 
tion to  the  viands.  The  competition 
seemed  to  have  been  entered  into 
between  himself  and  Mr.  Geisse  to 
clear  the  tables  for  the  succeeding 
course.  Dr.  Karsner  reports  this 
morning  no  further  dangerous  symp- 
tons  reported  in;  both  gentlemen 
will  resimie  business  within  two  or 
three  weeks. 

With  dessert,  speeches  were  in- 
dulged in  and  thanks  returned  to  the 
hosts  by  Senator  Jones  in  a  speech 
replete  with  pigeon  English  and 
Chinese  witticisms.

Letters  of  regret  were  read  from 
Sheriff  Wilson,  District  Attorney 
Sexton  and  Banker  Fogg,  The 
former  gendemen  being  called  to  a 
murder  case  and  the  latter  gendeman 
having  hired  a  fast  horse  and  carri- 
age in  the  morning.  The  Sheriff's  and 
District  Attorney's  offices  and  the 
bank  are  open  for  business  today. 

The  thanks  of  the  guests  were 
tendered  in  the  choicest  Orovilie 
Chinese  by  Major  Frank  McLaugh- 
lin, who  seemed  too  full  for  utter- 
ance. Songs  were  rendered  by  Mr. 
Almy  and  the  really  beautiful  Miss 
Fong  Lee,  in  the  daintiest  of  Chinese 
costumes,  having  handed  around 
the  cigars,  the  same  were  lit  at  the 
glowing  countenance  of  G.  W.  Brad- 
den,  and,  with  three  hearty  cheers 
for  their  hosts,  the  guests  left  the 
hospitable  domicile. 

(PGP  Florence  D.  Boyle  sent  to 
the  California  Herald  a  clipping  from 
the  Orovilie  Mercury,  February  I . 
1895,  describing  this  elaborate  ban- 
quet and  entertainment  given  by 
Fong  Lee. )

brick  house  in  Southern  California.

alcadc  of  Los  Angeles  at  that  time 
so  later  in  1 840  moved  to  the 
Rancho  and  built  the  original  adobe. 
Cucamonga  is  an  old  Indian  name 
signifying   "rocky  canyon". 

In  1858  John  Rains  became  the 
Rancho  owner.  It  was  he  who  built 
the  pretentious  dwelling.  From  the 
Cucamonga  hills  came  the  red  clay 
for  the  bricks.  The  tar  for  thatch- 
ing the  roof  came  from  the  La  Brea 
pits. 

Misfortune  seemed  to  stalk  the 
Rancho.  It  is  said  Rains,  in  1863  on 
his  way  to  Los  Angeles,  may  have 
been  carrying  money  from  the  sale 
of  beef  during  the  Civil  War  when 
he  was  ambushed  and  murdered. 
His  body  was  hung  on  a  tree  on  the 
roadside.  His  wife  was  suspected 
of  having  a  hand  in  the  affair  but 
this  was   never  proven. 

She  later  married  Jose  C.  Carrillo 
and  the  Rancho  again  became  a 
social  center.  Without  the  business 
acumen  of  Rains,  Maria  lost  the 
Rancho  and  was  greatly  in  debt  at 
her   death. 

In  1873.  the  ranch  was  acquired 
by  B.  Dreyfus  and  Co.,  I.  W.  Hell- 
man,  L.  M.  Hellman  and  e.\-gover- 
nor  John  G.  Downey.  Throughout 
the  years  owners  have  come  and 
gone. 

Today  the  old  landmark  is  in 
danger    of    passing    into    oblivion.

the  photograph  six,  and  the  tele- 
phone eight.  The  fact  that  those  who 
experimented  with  control  flight 
Kvere  subject  to  ridicule  explains 
'how  John  Joseph  Montgomery 
1(1858-1911)  came  to  make  the 
|-first  flight  on  wings"  without  head- 
llines  or  fanfare  of  any  kind.  Even 
(so,  Alexander  Graham  Bell  declared 
'that  "all  subsequent  attempts  in 
'aviation  must  begin  with  the  Mont- 
gomery machine." 

i~  The  son  of  California's  famous 
IZachariah  Montgomery,  Assistant 
United  States  Attorney  General  in 
the  Cleveland  administration,  John's 
rare  vision  and  splendid  genius  en- 
abled him  to  become  the  first  per- 
son to  learn  and  enumerate  the  basic 
laws  of  aerodynamics. 

Even  as  a  youth,  Montgomery  was 
fascinated  by  the  possibility  of  air 
travel  and  he  spent  long  hours 
analyzing  the  graceful  flights  of  sea- 
gulls over  San  Francisco  Bay.  Later, 
he  studied  physics  at  Santa  Clara 
and,  by  the  time  of  his  graduation 
from  Saint  Ignatius  College,  in  1879, 
Montgomery  had  built  and  tested 
several  ornithopters  in  his  primitive 
workshop. 

Six  years  before  the  widely- 
heralded  flight  of  Otto  Lillienthal, 
near  Berlin,  in  1891,  Montgomery 
constructed  and  had  ready  for  use 
the  world's  initial  air-supported 
glider. 

Early  on  the  morning  of  August 
28,  1883,  John  and  his  brother 
James  loaded  their  secretly-con- 
structed, thirty-eight  pound  glider 
on  a  wagon  and  covered  it  with  hay 
so  as  to  attract  no  attention.  On  the 
crest  of  gently-s  loping   Wheeler

Hill,  on  Otay  Mesa,  just  south  of 
San  Diego,  the  two  brothers  waited 
for  the  opportune  moment.  When 
a  breeze  finally  came  up,  James 
grabbed  hold  of  a  forty  foot  tow 
rope,  and  the  glider,  with  John 
Montgomery  aboard,  soared  to  an 
altitude  of  thirty  feet,  for  about  an 
eighth  of  a  mile  (603  feet),  toward 
the  ocean  to  accomplish  what  Octave 
Chanute  described  as  "the  most  dar- 
ing feat  ever  attempted." 

It  was  an  epochal  day.  Mont- 
gomery had  made  the  first  success- 
ful attempt  to  fly  and  safely  land  a 
heavier-than-air  ship,  seventeen  years 
before  the  Wright  Brothers  made 
years  prior  to  the  power  flight,  on 
December  17,  1903,  at  Kitty  Hawk. 

In  the  following  two  years.  Mont-

gomery  built  three  more  gliders  to 
demonstrate  his  theory,  now  an  ac- 
cepted principle,  that  a  curved  wing 
section  is  essential  to  flight.  The  in- 
ventor's experimental  verification  of 
parabolic  curvature  was  used  most 
recently  on  the  fins  of  the  earliest 
space  rockets.  He  subsequently  ori- 
ginated the  tandem  monoplane  type

the  aerodromes  of  Samuel  Pierpont 
Langley.

Assistant  Professor  of  Physics,  at

THE  HISTORIC  PICO  HOUSE 


BY  DR.  LEO  J.   FRIIS 


■If  N  THIS  tRA  oi-  bulldozing,  when 
^  reminders  of  our  fascinating 
history  arc  being  rubbed  off  the  land- 
scape, it  is  comforting  to  know  that 
a  few  of  our  historic  structures  re- 
main. Among  these  fine  buildings 
is  the  Pico  House  that  has  witnessed 
over  a  hundred  years  of  Los  Angeles 
history  flow  past  its  doors. 

Lovers  of  California's  yesterdays 
do  not  need  material  structures  to 
remind  them  of  Governor  Pio  Pico 
or  his  brother.  General  Andres  Pico, 
but  there  is  a  feeling  of  pride  to 
know  that  buildings  they  erected 
over  a  century  ago  still  stand.  Some- 
how it  is  symbolic  of  the  durability 
of  these  fine  Californians. 

On  February  4.  1934,  Los 
Angeles  Parlor  No.  124  placed  a 
plaque  on  Pico  House.  The  dedica- 
tion of  this  marker  was  an  historic 
one.  Among  those  present  was  our 
dear  friend,  PGP  Grace  S.  Stoermer. 
No  one  loved  the  Los  Angeles  Plaza 
more  than  she  did.  GP  Irma  W. 
Laird  was  there,  as  were  many 
others. 

On  that  occasion  a  remarkably 
fine  address  on  the  history  of  Pico 
House  was  delivered  by  historian 
Marie  T.  Walsh.  (In  the  same  year 
her  fine  book,  Tlw  Mission  Bells  of 
California,  was  published.)  At  that 
lime  Miss  Walsh  was  a  member  of 
I. OS  Anifcles  Parlor. 

Thirty-seven  years  later  on  Febru- 
ary 16.  1971  Los  Angeles  Parlor 
re-marked  Pico  House.  The  occasion 
was  even  more  dramatic  than  the 
original   dedication. 

Los  Angeles  Parlor  Past  President 
Rdna  T  Neikirk  was  chairman  of 
the  event.  The  program  commenced 
with  the  Pledge  of  Allegiance  to  the 
Flag  led  by  G I  Laura  Blosdalc. 
Mrs.  Neikirk  then  intriKluced  dis- 
tinguished guests  present.

Marie  (Mrs.  Mark)  Harrington, 
the  former  Marie  T.  Walsh,  now 
past  president  of  El  Camino  Real 
Parlor  No.  324,  again  delivered  an 
address  on  the  history  of  Pico 
House.  On  this  occasion  she  said: 

'"From  its  early  pueblo  days  until 
almost  the  turn  of  this  century,  the 


Plaza  area  was  the  heart  of  Lot 
Angeles.  In  this  small  section  were 
the  city  homes  of  the  Spanish  and 
Mexican  well-to-do  citizens  witk 
bu-iness  establishments  close  by.  So 
it  is  natural  that  our  city's  first  sky- 
scraper —  three-story  Pico  House 
—  should  have  been  erected  in  this

corner.  However,  it  was  not  our 
'irst  hotel.  That  honor  goes  to  the 
Bella  Union  built  in  the  1840s  on 
Sorth  Main  Street,  which  held  sway 
for  si.xteen  years.  The  second  hotel 
was  the  Lafayette  built  opposite  the 
Bella  Union.  On  this  Main  Street 
corner  the  two-story  adobe  home  of 
Don  Jose  Antonio  Carrillo  stood 
until  it  was  razed  in  1869  by  Don 
Pio  Pico,  California's  last  Mexican 
governor  and  Carrillo's  brother-in- 
law. 

"The  Pico  House  was  completed 
and  opened  on  June  19,  1870.  It  is 
reputed  to  have  cost  Pico  and  his 
brother,  Andres,  $85,000.  There 
were  80  rooms,  a  small  interior 
patio,  the  first  gas  lights  in  our  city's 
hotels  (the  Bella  Union  had  used 
drip  candles)  and  it  also  had  the 
first  two  zinc  bathtubs  in  a  Los 
■Angeles  hotel.  These  were  free  to 
the  guests.  The  hotel  was  so  well 
constructed  that  later  earthquakes 
failed  to  crack  its  walls. 

"On  opening  day  a  gala  ball  and 
supper  was  held  and  the  soldiers' 
band  from  Drum  Barracks  at  Wil- 
mington came  up  to  play  for  the 
event.  By  this  time  the  railroad  had 
connected  San  Pedro  and  Los 
Angeles  and  a  single  fare  ticket  was 
$L50  as  against  $5.00  charge  the 
Banning  stages  had  made  for  the 
same  run  in  earlier  days. 

"Wells  Fargo  maintained  offices 
on  the  Main  Street  side  on  the  first 
floor  while  the  billiard  room  and 
bar  were  south  of  the  entrance.  The 
dining  room  faced  the  Plaza. 

"A  friendly  rivalry  soon  sprang 
up  on  the  Main  Street  side  for  just 
to  the  south,  William  Abbott  erected 
the  city's  first  theatre,  the  Merced. 


Don  Pio  Pico,  last  Mexican  Governor  in  California 


for  his  bride,  Mercedes  Garcia. 
Dofia  Mercedes  insisted  that  her 
building  "be  just  a  little  bit  higher 
than  Pio's"  which  it  is. 

"The  Pico  House  continued  to  be 
the  city's  focal  point  for  many  years 
and  was  the  scene  of  many  gala  balls 
lasting  until  daybreak.  The  late  Don 
Carlos  Prudhomme  once  told  me 
that  if  he  received  a  ball  invitation, 
he  was  free  to  invite  others  to  come 
along  with  the  result  that  a  half 
dozen  or  more  came  on  a  single 
invitation.

address  at  the  marking. 


"Being  next  door  to  the  theatre 
brought  many  theatrical  people  to 
the  hotel  —  when  they  could  afford 
it.  Otherwise  they  went  down  to  the 
Bella  Union.  An  1874  advertisement 
says  "the  unpleasant  odor  of  gas  has 
entirely  disappeared  since  the  buiid-

ORINDA 

One  of  the  most  important  events 
for  Orinda  No.  56  was  the  ceremony 
for  the  Installation  of  Officers  for 
1971.  Madeline  Janowski  and  her 
committee,  Mmes.  Kelly,  Weaver, 
Demetrak  and  Klahn  arranged  the 
installation. 

President  E  le  a  n  o  r  Begovich, 
dressed  in  a  long,  gold  gown,  ac- 
cepted her  office  very  graciously  and 
efficiently.  As  she  was  introduced  at 
the  altar,  Brenda  Thompson  sang 
to  her  with  lyrics  written  by  Alma 
Klahn.  She  was  escorted  to  her 
station  by  the  escort  team  who  wore 
lovely  colored  gowns  and  carried 
flowers,  carrying  out  the  theme  "An 
Old  Fashioned  Garden." 

A  lovely  archway,  decorated  with 
paper  flowers,  was  in  the  center  of 
the  room  and  all  of  the  officers  had 
to  pass  through  it  before  assuming 
their  new  stations.  Frances  Simas 
accompanied  Brenda  as  she  sang 
many  songs  during  the  evening.  The 
refreshments  were  ice  cream  cups 
and  cookies  and  coffee  and  tea.

(Continued  from  Page  5) 

Imrsc  race  to  Jose  Sepulveda  in 
which  $60,000  was  involved.  For- 
tune finally  frowned  on  Don  Pio 
and  he  lost  most  of  his  properties 
including  the  Pico  House,  through 
mortgage  foreclosures.  He  retired  to 
his  ranchito  near  Whittier  where  he 
spent  his  last  years.  The  Pico  House 
finally  became  the  property  of  a 
Charles  Prager  and  in  1930  was  sold 
to  a  Guiseppe  Pagliano,  who  had 
been  renting  it.  Los  Angeles  Parlor 
marked  many  historic  sites  and 
buildings  in  the  1930s  and  I  am 
proud  that  I  had  a  part  in  it,  not 
the  least  of  which  was  the  original 
marking  of  this  hotel  which  we  re- 
mark   today. 

"1  often  think  of  Don  Pio's  words 
to  the  California  Mexican  Legisla- 
ture and  of  how  prophetic  they  were: 
"We  find  ourselves  threatened  by 
hordes  of  Yankee  immigrants,  who 
have  already  begun  to  flock  into  our 
country  and  whose  progress  we  can- 
not arrest.  Whatever  that  astonish- 
ing people  will  next  undertake  I 
cannot  say,  but  on  whatever  enter- 
prise they  embark,  they  will  be  .sure 
to  be  successful." 

Following  Mrs.  Harrington's  ad- 
dress, GP  Irene  Bondanza,  assisted 
by  PGP  June  T.  Goldie  and  GT  Lila 
S.  Hummel,  performed  the  dedica- 
tion ceremonies.  The  plaque,  which 
was  unveiled  by  Mrs.  Bondanza  and

AERIAL  FEATS  .  .  . 
(Continued  from  Page  3) 

of  controlled  flight  possible  in  air- 
planes today. 

Other  aeroplanes  were  built  and 
demonstrated  at  exhibitions  in  the 
years  prior  to  San  Francisco's 
disastrous  earthquake  of  April  18. 
1906.  Thereafter,  .Montgomery  was 
forced  to  turn  his  "attention  to  other 
subjects"  and  let  the  aeroplanes  rest 
for  a  time.  In  1909,  the  Austrian 
Flying  Technical  School  officially 
proclaimed  John  J.  Montgomery  the 
"First  to  Conquer  the  Air." 

Following  fifty-f  i  v  e  successful 
flights,  over  a  two-week  period. 
Montgomery  was  killed  in  a  test,  on 
October  31.  1911,  on  the  slopes  of 
Evergreen  Valley,  when  his  single- 
wing  glider  stalled  in  take-off  and 
nosed  over.  It  was  the  ship  which 
Mongomery  had  planned  to  equip 
with  a  power-driven  engine. 


Unfortunately,  many  of  John 
Montgomery's  effects,  along  with 
his  pioneer  glider,  were  washed  into 
San  Diego  Bay,  when  the  Otay  Dam 
burst,  in  1916,  demolishing  the 
Montgomery  homestead  on  the  old 
Fruitland  Ranch.  And  so  it  is  that 
the  fame  of  this  "Father  of  the 
Gliders"  remains  known  mostly  to 
aeronautical  historians.

CALIFORNIA  HEKA 


hj  Aliet  T*  SmltJk 


The  English,  although  late  in  ad- 
opting the  custom,  arc  credited  with 
the  most  notorious  joke  in  April 
Fool  history.  In  1860  many  London- 
ers received  a  formal  invitation  to 
the  Tower  of  London,  which  read 
in  part: 


■'The  first  of  April  some  do  say 
Is  set  apart  for  All  Fools'  day 
But  why  the  people  want  it  so 
Nor  I.  nor  they  themselves  do  know 
But  on  this  day  are  people  sent 
On  purposes  of  merriment." 


LOOKING  FOR  the  reason  for 
April  Fools'  Day  can  lead 
ou  clear  back  to  Noah.  Some  claim 
his  was  the  date  on  which  Noah 
cnt  out  the  dove  to  discover  land, 
nd  it  returned  from  its  fool's  er- 
and.  The  Hebrew  date  for  this  was 
quivalent  to  our  April  1.  The  cor- 
cct  title  is  "All  Fools'  Day",  the 
all"  being  a  contraction  of  the  or- 
ginal  "auld". 

A  more  cheerful  explanation  is 
hat  celebrating  the  vernal  equinox, 
)r  the  approach  of  spring  is  always 
I  fun-time.  Sometimes  the  celcbrat- 
ng  continued  until  April  1.  In 
ndia,  the  last  day  of  the  ''feast  of 
-lulu",  as  it  was  called,  was  a  time 
or  sending  unsuspecting  persons  on 
oolish  errands. 

All  Fools'  Day  had  great  popular- 
ity in  France,  dating  back  to  the 
1 6th  century,  but  the  English  and 
Americans  were  not  familiar  with 
it  until  the  middle  of  the  18th  cen- 
tury. The  Scottish  people  are  said  to 
especially  enjoy  the  day.  labeling 
April  Fools  "April  Gowk  Gowks" 
or  "Cuckoos'. 

APRIL.  1971 


"Admit  bearer  and  friend  to 
the  yearly  washini;  of  the  White 
Lions.  Admitted  only  at  the 
White  Gate.  It  is  particidarly 
requested  that  no  gratuities  he 
given  to  the  warders." 


Hundreds  were  thus  duped  to 
driving  round  and  round  looking  for 
the  ceremony. 

In  the  U.  S.  the  telephone  is  one 
of  the  favorite  means  of  perpetrating 
April  Fool  jokes.  When  a  question 
such  as,  "Is  this  1-9-7-1?"  is  asked, 
and  the  reply  is  negative,  the  prank- 
ster's answer  is.  "Look  at  your  cal- 
endar. April  Fool." 

It  appears  that  this  famous  day 
is  fast  waning.  The  zoos  are  among 
the  few  victims  of  its  humor.  They 
are  forced  to  answer  frequent  calls 
from  jokers  for  "Mr.  Bear",  or  "Mr. 
Lion."  Card  manufacturers  have  en- 
deavored to  mark  the  day  with  such 
offerings  as.  "April  Fool  Day  re- 
minds me  of  you,"  or  cards  that  re- 
fuse to  open,  and  such.  Secretaries 
still  like  to  play  jokes  on  their  bosses 
and  small  fry  enjoy  fooling  teachers 
and  parents. 

April  Fool  superstitions  still  re- 
main. Folklore  says  that  if  a  bachelor 
is  fooled  by  a  pretty  girl  on  April 
Fools'  Day.  he  will  marr\'  her.  Also, 
to  lose  your  temper  over  an  April 
Fool  joke  is  to  bring  bad  luck.  And. 
the  same  source  warns,  "beware  of 
marriage  on  this  day  or  the  hen  will 
rule  the  roost." 

So  whether  or  not  Noah  is  to 
blame,  this  day  remains  on  the  cal- 
endar, and  provides  fun  for  the 
"foolers"  if  not  for  the  "fooled".

CONVENTION  CITY 

In  observance  of  our  approaching 
Grand  Parlor  Convention  to  be  held 
in  San  Francisco  June  20  through 
24.  following  is  a  resume  of  some 
of  the  City's  historical  lore.  The 
1971  Convention  Committee  hopes 
it  may  be  of  interest  to  the  delegates 
and  visitors  planning  to  travel  to 
San  Francisco  in  June. 

CABLE  CARS 

BBS  HE  CABLE  CARS  OF  San  Franc- 
^     isco    have    been    in    existence 
for  nearly  98  years. 

In  the  1870s,  San  Francisco  was 
a  town  in  ferment.  Nourished  by 
the  wealth  of  the  Mother  Lode,  it 
was  alive  with  the  quest  for  culture, 
excitement,  and  financial  expansion. 


There  were  steam  trains  and  horse- 
cars  on  Market  Street,  hut  a  Scots- 
man, Andrew  S.  Hallidie,  with  a 
prosperous  wire  cable  business  in 
the  city,  whose  excellent  product 
was  widely  used  by  mining  interests 
in  the  constructit)n  of  aerial  tram- 
ways to  transport  ore  in  the  rugged 
country  of  the  western  Sierra 
Nevada,  began  to  speculate  on  new- 
uses  for  his  cable.  He  had  been 
impressed  by  the  elevators  that  were 
coming  into  use  in  the  more  elegant 
buildings  across  the  country.  Hallidie 
wondered  if  it  would  not  be  possible 
to  adapt  this  idea  to  a  railway  cap- 
able of  operating  on  San  Francisco's 
steep  hills. 

Not  everyone  thought  his  idea 
practicable  but  he  did  have  a  power- 
ful ally:  the  SiKiety  for  the  Pre- 
vention of  Cruelty   to  Animals  who 

PAGE   4 


were  mightily  disturbed  by  the 
mortality  of  the  shabby  beasts  pull- 
ing the  city's  horsecars.  These  poor 
animals  didn't  last  long  hauling 
heavily  laden  railroad  cars  along 
cobbled  streets  and  the  steep  hills 
added  a  miserable  burden  to  an  al- 
ready perilous  life. 

Hallidie  and  three  other  men 
formed  the  Clay  Street  Hill  Railroad 
Company,  obtaining  a  franchise  to 
operate  a  "cable-powered  railroad 
on  Clay  Street."  A  small  San  Franc- 
isco bank  added  a  thirty  thousand 
dollar  loan  to  the  capital  they  al- 
ready had  and  the  project  got  under- 
way. 

After  many  trials,  and  just  two 
days  before  the  franchise  was  due 
to  expire,  the  steam  engine  was 
started  in  the  powerhouse  at  Clay 
and  Leavenworth  Streets.  The 
rumble  of  a  cable  thrashing  in  its 
slot,  a  sound  destined  to  become 
familiar  to  San  Franciscans,  was 
heard  for  the  first  time. 

At  five  o'clock  on  a  cold  and 
foggy  morning.  Andrew  Hallidie  and 
his  associates  man-handled  the  first 
Cable  Car  onto  the  rails  at  the  top 
of  the  Clay  Street  hill.  Hallidie  was 
at  the  grip  and  when  he  caught  the 
cable  the  car  moved  to  the  edge 
of  the  hill  and  nosed  bravely  into 
the  fog.  For  a  time,  all  was  silent, 
then  miraculously  the  fog  cleared 
long  enough  to  disclose  the  car  and 
Hallidie.  both  safe  and  upright, 
arriving  at  the  Kearnv  Street  Turn- 
table. 

By  this  time  a  huge  crowd  had 
gathered  to  cheer  and  witness  this 
"miracle",  another  San  Francisco 
tradition  was  born  —  that  of  "turn- 
ing the  cable",  and  the  San  Franc- 
isco Cable  Cars  have  been  rising 
and  plummeting  majestically  ever 
since  that  memorable  day  of  August 
I,  1873,  adding  other  lines  and  mak- 
ing a  few  route  changes 

Conventioners,  tourists,  and  San 
Franciscans  alike,  delight  in  using 
this  unique  transportation  and  to 
hear  the  cry  of  "look  out  for  the 
curve"    as    a    cable    car    laden    with 


passengers  rounds  a  sharp  corner 
One  may  board  a  Powell  Strec 
cable  to  ride  to  Fisherman's  Wharf 
Aquatic  Park  and  browse  througl 
the  Maritime  .Museum,  or  to  visi 
the  many  shops  at  the  Cannery  anc 
Ghiradelli  Square,  or  board  a  Call 
fornia  street  cable  to  visit  China 
town.  North  Beach  and  the  man> 
points  of  interest  along  the  way. 

A  ride  on  a  San  Francisco  Cable 
Car  is  a  "Spirited  Adventure." 

FISHERMAN'S  WHARF  AND 
NORTH  BEACH 

•"BlSHERMAN'S       WHARF       AND      ihi 

^  North  Beach  area  of  Sar 
Francisco  have  a  unique  and  varico 
history.  North  Beach,  in  the  IS.^Us 
was  the  shoreline  of  a  lagoon  sit- 
uated in  a  deep  bay  cove  between 
Black  Point  and  Telegraph  Hill.  In 
1853  a  pier,  extending  some  HM)r 
feet  into  the  bay,  was  constructed 
there.  It  was  called  Meigg's  Wharf 
In  those  carefree  days.  North 
Beach  Cove  was  a  center  of  the 
c  i  t  y's  recreational  activities.  San 
Franciscans    swam    there    and    held 


-^kk-k. 


boat    races.    By    the    middle   of   thei 
1860s,  however,  commercial  fishi 
had  taken  over  the  cove,  and  Meigg's 
Wharf    became    known    as    Fisher 
man's  Wharf. 

In  1880  the  Fmbarcadero  sea  w 
was  built,  and  commercial  fishing  ol 
Meigg's  Wharf  was  no  longer  profit 
able.  The  cove  was  gradually  filled 
in  and  various  industries  and  com- 
mercial enterprises  settled  in  the 
district.  The  fishermen  were  moved 
to  the  foot  of  I'nion  Street,  there  to 
remain  until  1900  when  the  present 
Fisherman's  Wharf  was  reserved 
for  the  city's  commercial  fishermen 

During  the  1880s.  San  Francisct> 
was  home  port  for  the  Pacific 
whalers,  and  for  a  lime  the  city  was

he  whaling  capital  of  the  world. 
Salmon,  too,  were  caught  in  \ast 
lumbers  by  the  boats  berthed  on 
^cfferson  Street.  In  1888,  San 
-rancisco  handled  more  fresh  fish 
,)f  all  kinds  than  the  combined 
['acific  ports  from  Mexico  to  Puget 
,>ound.

Fisherman's  Wharf,  as  we  know 
It  today,  took  shape  gradually.  In 
1917  the  Coast  Guard  Office  and 
L'ustoms  House  were  erected.  In 
'1918,  the  Booth  Packing  House  was 
built  in  the  area.  During  these  years 
pf  World  War  I,  a  breakwater  was 
constructed  at  the  Hyde  Street  Pier, 
and  the   Hyde   Street   Wharf   was 


widened  to  handle  an  increased 
volume  in  lumber  traffic. 

The  last  and  largest  of  the  Em- 
barcadero  piers  north  of  Market 
Street  was  Pier  24.  This  was  built 
in  1924.  In  1926  the  Hyde  Street 
Pier  was  improved  to  handle  auto 
ferries.  These  picturesque  vessels 
continued  to  operate  between  the 
city  and  Sausalito  until  the  complet- 
ion of  the  Golden  Gate  Bridge.  In 
1932  a  bulkhead  and  wharf  were 
constructed  along  Jefferson  Street 
to  permit  the  berthing  of  fishing 
craft. 

During  the  1950's,  when  the 
sardines  departed  from  the  waters  of 
the  northern  Pacific,  Fisherman's 
Wharf  became  headquarters  for  the 
crab  and  salmon  fleets.  It  remains 
so.  Fish  and  shellfish  have  always 
been    sold   on    the   Wharf.    From 


humble  beginnings,  a  thriving  restau- 
rant   business    developed    over    the 

years.

No  visitor  to  San  Francisco  can 
say  that  he  has  sampled  the  color 
and  flavor  of  the  city  without  at 
least  one  visit  to  the  Wharf  and  it 
take  a  dieter's  courage  to  abstain 
from  the  many  wonderful  dishes 
available  there  in  the  numerous 
unique  atmospheric  restaurants.  Or. 
one  may  just  stroll  the  walkways 
and  purchase  walk-a-way  seafood 
cocktails  at  the  many  sidewalk 
stands.  San  Francisco  French  Bread 
in  various  sizes  and  shapes  enjoys 
a  huge  retail  business,  as  well  as  the 
famous  fresh  crabs  which  are 
cleaned  and  cracked  for  the  pur- 
chaser before  wrapping,  and  other 
fresh  fish. 

The  Wharf,  the  fishing  boats,  the 
men  who  sail  them,  and  the  tangy 
scent  of  the  sea  are  all  a  valuable 
part  of  the  San  Francisco  tradition. 
Fisherman's  Wharf  is  truly  one  of 
the  fascinating  places  '^'    ^      .;  .

CHINATOWN 


^  AN     FRANCISCO'S    CHINATOWN     is 

^  a  world  out  of  time.  A  walk 
down  Grant  Avenue  north  of  Bush 
Street  is  an  adventure  in  a  strange 
and  wonderful  land  where  the 
Twentieth  Century  lives  side  by  side 
with  the  past. 

It  is  in  this  remarkable  district, 
where  more  Orientals  live  than  any- 
where else  in  the  Occidental  world, 
that  San  Francisco  began.  On  Grant 
near  Clay  Street  stands  a  column 
bearing  a  plaque  that  reads:  "The 
birthplace  of  a  Great  City.  Here, 
.lune  25,  1835,  William  A.  Richard- 
son, founder  of  Verba  Buena  (later 
San  Francisco)  erected  its  first 
habitation,  a  tent  dwelling,  replacing 
it  in  October  1835  with  the  first 
wooden  house,  and  on  this  ground, 
in  1836,  he  erected  the  large  adobe 
building  known  as  'Casa  Grande.'  " 

Legends  state  that  the  Chinese 
visited  the  Pacific  Coast  of  the 
American  Continent  many  times  in 
the  dawn  of  their  history.  This  is 
highly  probable,  for  the  Chinese 
have  always  been  daring  mariners, 
and  oriental  artifacts  have  been 
found  in  many  places  along  the 
western  shores  of  the  United  States 
and  Mexico. 

But  recent  history  records  the 
fact  that  before  1849  there  were  but 
seven  Chinese  in  San  Francisco.  One 
of  these  seven,  a  merchant  named 
Chum  Ming,  caught  the  gold  fever 
and  made  for  the  hills.  Being  fortun- 
ate and  diligent  he  made  a  strike 
and  reported  his  good  luck  to  a 
relative  back  in  his  native  Kwang- 
tung.  This  gentleman,  being  talka- 
tive and  peripatetic,  spread  the 
news  throughout  the  province.  There 

MAY,   1971 


Chinese  in  ilw  mines 


was  gold  in  -America,  he  declared, 
and  not  only  that,  but  high  wages 
were  to  be  had  by  Chinese  who  were 
willing  to  travel  across  the  ocean 
to  San  Francisco.  By  1851  there 
were  12,000  Chinese  men  in  Cali- 
fornia and  seven  women.  The  steam- 
ship lines  plied  the  Pacific  between 
Hong  Kong  and  America  with  their 
holds  and  decks  filled  with  Chinese 
seeking  the   promised   land   of  gold. 


This  interesting  historical  informa- 
tion about  San  Francisco,  the  1971 
NDGW  Convention  City,  was  com- 
piled by  GT  Helen  C.  McCarthy  of 
the    Public    Relations   Committee. 


The  railroad  builders  soon  rec- 
ognized a  great  source  of  labor  for 
their  construction  gangs  and  pressed 
for  more  and  more  immigration. 
But  very  soon  the  frugality  and 
diligence  of  the  Chinese  had  ihem 
in  trouble  with  the  rowdier  elements 
among  the  miners  and  the  railroad 
workers.  The  Chinese  reaction  to 
the  difficulty  was  typically  polite. 
They  grew  even  more  reserved  '  ' 
worked  even  harder  to  (."•■

deny  California  the  benefit  of  the 
new  arrivals.  By  the  year  1882  there 
already  75,000  Orientals  in  our 
State.  One  out  of  seven  were 
Chinese.  One  out  of  ten  lived  in  the 
area  we  know  today  as  San  Franc- 
isco's Chinatown. 

But  the  Chinatown  of  today  is  a 
far  different  place  from  the  China- 
town of  yesterday  with  its  internal 
struggle  for  control  of  Chinese 
society,  the  so-called  Tong  Wars 
continued  for  many  years.  The  last 
of  these  disputes  was  not  settled 
until  1926.  and  hair-raising  talcs  of 
hatchct-men  and  highbinders  pop- 
ularized by  mystery  writers  can  still 
chill  a  reader  on  a  foggy  San  Franc- 
isco night.  But  the  aura  of  the 
mysterious  still  lingers  on. 

Chinatown  is  actually  two  cities, 
one  built  above  the  other.  In  the 
upper  stories  of  Chinatown's  build- 
ings exists  the  "Gee  Gah,"  a  place 
of  residences,  serenity,  family  affect- 
ion and  privacy.  Below,  on  the 
street  level  lies  the  "San  Yee  Gah," 
the  place  of  shops,  offices,  and  the 
booming  commercial  life  of  San 
Francisco's  Chinese. 

Conventioners,  tourists,  and  resid- 
ents of  San  Francisco,  when  walking 
through  Chinatown  find  it  a  place 
of  bustling  commercial  activity,  fine 
shops  of  all  descriptions,  stores  con- 
taining curios,  exotic  foodstuffs, 
hand-painted  scrolls,  silks,  wind- 
chimes  tinkling  delicately  in  the 
breeze,  where  one  can  visit  a  modern 
western  night  club,  enjoy  authentic 
Chinese  cuisine,  or  pause  for  a  cup 
of  tea.  When  leaving  this  quaint 
town  within  a  city,  one  feels  they 
have  truly  visited  the  Orient. 


GOLDEN   GATE  PARK 

In  San  Francisco,  in  the  year 
1868,  the  process  of  building  one 
of  the  world's  great  parks  out  of  a 
wilderness  of  sand  dunes  was  begun. 
A  progressive  Mayor  decided  to  take 
action  on  the  many  requests  coming 
from  citizens  of  the  city  and  ordered 
a  survey  of  sites  available  for  a  city 
park. 

Certain  lands  west  of  Divisadero 
Street:  a  links-land  of  sand  dunes 
;md  scrubby  brush  was  recommend- 
ed. It  did  not  seem  a  very  encourag-

ing  choice.  Furthermore,  there  exist- 
ed a  considerable  controversy  con- 
cerning the  ownership  of  the  acre- 
age, for  it  was  populated  by  do/ens 
of  squatters  who  disputed  the  old 
Mexican  land  grants  and  the  city's 
claims  to  ownership.  Pcrserverance 
conquered  however  and  a  com- 
mittee of  citizens  appraised  the  land 
and  was  able  to  negotiate  its  pur- 
chase  for   $810,595. 

The  '"wasteland"  quickly  became 
the  butt  of  many  jokes  —  for  who 
could  believe  that  a  green  parkland 
could  be  created  out  of  salty,  wind- 
swept dunes?  The  gardeners,  un- 
daunted, set  to  work. 


willows,  Australian  eucalyptus,  pines 
all  could  and  did  take  root  in  the 
tons  of  fill  and  loam  and  manure- 
that  were  mixed  with  the  sand  of  the 
sand  of  the  dunes.  Wild  lupine  and 
Kentucky  bluegrass  took  hold  and 
became  meadows.  In  that  first  year, 
acres  and  acres  of  grass  were  planted 
and  more  than  twenty-one  thou- 
sand trees.  The  soil  was  built  up 
and  enriched  by  endless  wagonloads 
of  peat  and  straw,  humus  and  grass 
cuttings,  and  even  sweeping  from 
ihc  city  streets. 

Year  after  year  this  laborious 
process  was  continued,  until  at  last 
there  came  a  day  when  San  Franc-

From  the  v  e  r  y  beginning,  the 
people  in  c  h  a  r  g  e  of  the  Park's 
development  sought  to  conform  to 
nature,  rather  than  fight  against  it. 
The  natural  contours  of  the  land 
were  utilized  in  the  landscaping  plan, 
and  the  serpentine  drives  and  walks 
were  all  devised  to  blend  gracefully 
into  an  informal  and  pleasing  design. 

The  beech  and  sugar  maple  trees 
many  citizens  remembered  from 
their  eastern  days  would  not  grow 
in  the  San  Francisco  climate.  Even 
today,  these  trees,  of  all  the  trees 
of  the  temperate  zone,  have  resisted 
acclimatization  to  Golden  Gate  Park. 
But  the  native  trees  and  shrubs  and 
flowers  provided  excellent  substit- 
utes.   Cypress    madrona,    oaks    and 


iscans  realized  that  they  had,  in  fact, 
a  park  —  hundreds  of  acres  of  lush 
green  land  sparkling  in  the  Cali- 
fornia sun. 

1  wenty  years  passed  with  the 
park  flourishing  when  John  McLar- 
en, a  Scot,  became  its  most  famous 
Superintendent.  McLaren's  genius 
was  that  of  a  de\eloper.  It  was  he 
who  devoted  half  a  century  to  mak- 
ing a  fine  park  into  a  magnificent 
one.  He  planted  more  than  two 
million  trees.  .M  o  s  t  of  them  arc 
growing  still,  giving  endless  pleasure 
to  the  citizens  of  the  city  he  adopted 
as  his  home.  He  accumulated  a  vast 
store  of  knowledge  concerning  the 
native  plants  of  California  as  well  as 

CALIFORNIA  HERALt 


'exotic  plants  that  would  survive  in 
■our  climate.  His  surpassing  love  was 
for  the  great  redwoods  of  California, 
the  stately  Sequoia  sempervirens,  the 
oldest  living  things  on  earth.  When 
he  told  his  friends  that  he  would  one 
day  grow  redwoods,  they  smiled  and 
told  him  to  stick  to  his  gardens,  as 
it  took  thousands  of  years  to  grow 
.redwoods. 

j  Yet  when  McLaren  died  in  1943 
,at  the  age  of  ninety-seven,  the  red- 
,wood  gro\e  in  Golden  Gate  Park, 
sempervirens  grown  from  seeds 
planted  when  he  became  Superinten- 
,dent  of  the  Park  almost  six  decades 
earlier,  towered  to  a  height  of  thirty 
feet.  And  a  thousand  years  from 
today,  his  trees  will  still  be  there,  a 
monument  to  the  love  and  dedication 
of  one  man's  lifetime.

Because  of  McLaren's  deep  love 
for  Redwood  trees,  the  Native  Sons 
and  Native  Daughters  Grove  of 
Memory  Association  have  a  living 
memorial  to  the  Native  Sons  of  the 
Golden  West  of  San  Francisco  who 
sacrificed  their  lives  on  foreign  soil 
during  World  War  \,  as  in  this  Red- 
wood Grove,  in  1927.  thirty  nine 
Redwood  trees  were  dedicated  to 
the  memory  of  those  thirty  nine 
Gold  Star  members.  The  following 
year,  a  twenty  ton  boulder  and  a 
five  foot  bronze  plaque  bearing  the 
names  of  the  39  members  was 
dedicated.  The  final  completion  of 
this  memorial  was  accomplished 
with  the  unveiling  of  the  Gold  Star 
Dough  Boy  Monument  June  I, 
1930. 

It  is  at  this  beautiful  shrine  that 
the  Native  Sons  and  Native  Daugh- 
ters of  the  Golden  West  gather  on 
the  first  Sunday  of  June  of  each 
year  to  honor  their  fraternal  dead 
heroes.  In  addition  to  memorializ- 
ing those  Gold  Star  members,  spec- 
ial reference  is  made  of  the  mem- 
bers of  both  Orders  deceased  during 
the   year   and   the   families   of   all

deceased    members    are    invited    to 
attend  the  annual  exercises. 

Golden  Gate  Park  was  created  to 
be  enjoyed.  There  have  never  been 
■"Keep  Off  the  Grass"  signs  in  the 
park.  Every  meadow,  every  glade  is 
intended  to  be  used  and  enjoyed  by 
the  people  who  come  to  spend  a 
pleasant  hour  or  two  in  the  park. 

Visitors  to  Golden  Gate  Park  find 
much  to  enjoy.  The  park  is  three 
and  a  half  miles  long  and  one  mile 
wide.  A  pleasant  drive  begins  at 
Stanyan  Street  and  winds  through 
the  many  drives  to  the  Pacific  ocean 
with  a  return  trip  using  different 
routes,  or  stop  for  a  visit  at  the 
Conservatory  of  Flowers,  t  h  e  Ar- 
boretum and  Botanical  Gardens,  the 
Aquarium,  Japanese  Tea  Garden. 
go  boating  on  Stow  Lake  or  feed 
the  ducks,  see  buffalo,  elks,  and 
many  other  ;mimals  roaming  the 
pastures.  These  are  but  a  few  of  the 
places  one  can  enjoy  while  riding, 
strolling,  or  lingering  in  San  Franc- 
isco's Golden  Gate  Park,  and  that 
this  'beaut} '  arose  from  sand  dunes, 
is    a    'marvel'    to   behold.

also  dedicating  itself  to  the  perpetua- 
tion of  a  bit  of  early  California.  PP 
Corinne  Brandenburg,  History  and 
landmarks  chairman,  representing 
Placcriia  Parlor  No.  277,  presented 
the  bank  with  a  replica  of  the  bells 
which  line  the  famous  King's  High- 
way from  San  Francisco  dc  Solano 
at  Sonoma  to  Mission  San  Diego  de 
Alcala  at  San  Diego.  The  bell  will 
remain  on  the  site  as  a  permanent 
symbol  of  the  bank's  desire  to  re- 
cognize California's  rich  historical 
heritage. 

Also  taking  part  in  the  bell  cere- 
mony, which  was  hosted  by  Henry 
C.  Carlson,  vice  president  and  man- 
ager of  the  Encino  office,  were  PGP 
June  T.  Goldie,  State  chairman  of 
History  and  Landmarks:  Ralph  Buf- 
fon,  manager  of  the  California  Mis- 
■sion  Country  Visitors  Association 
Ltd.;  PGP  Eileen  Dismuke.  Also 
attending  the  ceremony  from  Placer- 
ita  Parlor  were  past  presidents  Peg- 
gy Brandenburg,  Rose  Rumsey  and 
Evelyn  Henry. 

The  bell  dedication  was  the  first 
in  a  series  of  similar  ceremonies  to 
be  held  at  virtually  all  United  Cali- 
fornia Bank  branch  offices  located 
on  or  near  El  Camino  Real  during 
the  next  two  years.  When  the  project 
is  completed  in  1972,  every  branch 
on  the  highway  is  expected  to  have 
a  bell.

PGP  Lileen  Dismuke 

The  "first  generation"  bells  made 
their  appearance  on  the  celebrated 
highway  in  1906  when  a  state  his- 
torical association  determined  that 
the  path  followed  by  Father  Junipero 
Serra  and  his  Franciscan  associates 
should  be  marked  with  distinctive 
and  appropriate  guideposts.  A  bell 
designed  by  Mrs.  A.  S.  C.  Forbes, 
author  of  a  book  on  the  history  of 
the  missions  and  later  president  of 
the  El  Camino  Real  Association,  was 
selected  as  the  prototype.  The  cast 
iron  bells  for  which  she  secured  a 
design  patent  and  copyright  weighed 
100  pounds  and  were  placed  on  iron 
pipes   1 1   feet  above  the  ground. 

Interest  in  the  project  grew  pro- 
gressively greater  until  1913  when 
there  were  about  450  Ik-Hs  enhanc- 
ing the  700  miles  of  Royal  Road. 
Maintenance  of  the  bells  was  contin- 
ued regularly  until  1933  when  de- 
terioration began  to  set  in  and  they 


started  to  disappear.  A  great  numbei 
were  lost  with  the  large  scale  widen- 
ing and  relocation  of  state  roads, 
while  vandals  and  souvenir  hunters 
removed  many  others.  In  1959.  a 
survey  revealed  that  only  17  of  the 
original  1 10  bells  were  left  standing 
in  Los  Angeles  County,  and  other 
counties  reported  even  fewer  survi- 
vors. 

That  same  year,  a  second  genera- 
tion of  bells  had  its  inception  when 
a  California  law  was  passed  through 
the  efforts  of  various  historical 
groups  requiring  the  Division  o( 
Highways  to  re-erect  all  El  Camino 
Real  Bells  made  available  to  them. 
More  than  30  bells  were  recovered 
and  placed  along  Highway  101 
There  are  now  several  hundred  bells 
and  staffs,  many  supporting  "El  Ca- 
mino Real"  signs,  extending  from 
the  Mexican  border  to  San  Francis- 
co. So.  the  bells  that  first  appeared 
at  the  turn  of  the  century,  only  to 
fall  into  oblivion  during  the  Great 
Depression  and  World  War  II  eras, 
made  a  triumphant  return  during  the 
"New  Frontier  of  the    1960s." 

The  significance  of  United  Cali- 
foria  Bank's  i  n  t  r  o  d  u  c  I  i  on  of 
a  "third  generation  "  of  bells  is  best 
summed  up  by  UCB  President  Nor- 
man Barker,  Jr.,  himself  a  native  of 
San  Diego  where,  ironically,  the  first 
new  bell  of  the  mcxlem  era  was 
erected  on  July  24,  1959,  when  he 
said,  "The  erection  of  these  bells  at 
our  branch  offices  on  El  Camino 
Real  epitomizes  a  new  era  in  bank- 
ing in  which  bankers  arc  constantly 
becoming  more  community  con- 
scious. The  first  step  toward  genuine 
interest  in  one's  community  is  pride 
in  its  history  and  these  bells  typify 
that  feeling."

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


'  Not  to  be  outdone,  Tustin  adver- 
ted its  virtues  in  doggerel  verse,  a 
ivorite  medium  of  the  time: 

I  "When  the  Angel  of  Peace  first  deecended. 

To  bless  with  his  presence  the  children  of  men, 
"Mid  the  fairest  of  scenes  his  pathway  e'er  tended. 
And  unto  his  smile  the  glad  earth  smiled  again. 
■He  joyed  in  the  fragrance  of  oranges  and  roses. 
And  loved  'mid  their  glances  to  linger  or  roam. 
And  he  said:   'Here  in  Tustin,  where  Beauty  reposes, 
1  will  linger  or  build  me  a  home!'  " 


As  you  drove  slowly  down  the 
street  you  strained  your  eyes  peering 
through  the  windshield,  which  was 
usually  of  two  panes  of  glass,  one 
above  the  other.  The  lower  pane 
could  open  up  and  if  a  rubber  strap 
at  its  base  became  worn  or  broken, 
tiny  rivulets  of  water  ran  down 
across  the  face  of  the  instrument 
board. 

This  archaic  condition  was  grad- 
ually improved.  First,  we  were  pro- 
vided with  a  windshield  wiper  that 
was  operated  manually.  Then  cars 
came  equipped  with  the  "automatic" 
type  that  moved  by  the  pressure  of 
air  forced  through  a  rubber  tube. 
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 
today. 

Don't  be  impatient  when  the  rub- 
ber blade  of  your  wiper  gets  frayed 
or  breaks.  Remember  the  old  days!

Of  course,  when  it  started  to

to  snap  on  the  side  curtains,  those

Colorful  golden  California  poppies 
surrounding  a  blue  and  gold  theme 
emblem  inscribed  "Unity  Is  the  Key 
to  Success,"  provided  pretty  back- 
ground decor  for  recent  ceremonies 
of  induction  which  seated  Catherine 
Erven  as  1971  president  of  Wil- 
mington   Parlor   No.    278.

dential installation  in  1961.  Hand 
carved  covered  wagons  and  horses, 
presented  to  her  in  1961,  were  a

her  ten  years  ago  at  the  installation, 
and  which  had  been  growing  in  the 
Erven  home  garden  since  that  time.

STREET  NAMES 


HE     NAMES     THAT     THE     citizcns 

of   San    Francisco    gave    their 
istreets   and   boulevards   became    the 
landmarks  of  the  city's  most  cher- 
ished traditions.  Many  of  the  names 
I  that  are  familiar  give  evidence  of  the 
jcity's    Spanish-California    past.    Em- 
barcadero,  for  example,  is  the  Span- 
ish word  for  "place  of  embarkation." 
\Di\isadero    is   a    point   from    which 
ion  may  look  a  long  distance  in  two 
directions,  and  Potrero  is  a  pasture. 
Spanish  surnames,  those  of  fam- 
ous families  holding  grants  of  land 
from   the   Spanish   Crown,   are   also 
common  in  the  City.  Vallejo  Street 
bears  the  name  of  General  Mariano 
G.    Vallejo,    an    early    Califomiano 
who  befriended  many  of  the  Amer- 
icans who  came  to  California  in  the 
days  before  the  establishment  of  the 
Bear  Flag  Republic. 

Commandante  Jose  Arguello,  for 
whom  Arguello  Street  was  named, 
was  the  Spanish  commander  of  the 
Presidio  from  1787  to  1806.  He 
later  became  the  Governor  of  all 
Spanish  California.  His  brother  Luis 
ArgucUo  was  the  owner  of  the  fam- 
ous Rancho  de  las  Pulgas,  the  Ranch 
of  the  Fleas,  that  covered  much  of 
southern  San  Mateo  County. 

Alemany  Boulevard  was  originally 
the  exclusive  property  of  Archbishop 
Joseph  S.  Alemany.  This  distinguish- 
ed churchman  was  a  native  of 
Valencia,  Spain  who  became  an 
American  citizen  after  ten  years  of 
missionary  work  in  Kentucky  and 
Ohio.  From  1850  to  1853  he  served 
as  the   Roman   Catholic   Bishop   of

Monterey  and  later  became  the  first 
Archbishop  of  the  city  of  San  Franc- 
isco. 

But  not  all  the  names  borne  by 
San  Francisco  streets  are  Spanish. 
In  the  booming  times  of  the  1840's 
and  1850's  many  men  were  honored 
by  having  thoroughfares  named  for 
them.  Montgomery  Street  was  named 
for  Captain  J.  B.  Montgomery,  USN. 


This  interesting  historical  informa- 
tion about  San  Francisco,  the  1971 
NDGW  Convention  City,  was  com- 
piled by  GT  Helen  C.  McCarthy  of 
the   Public   Relations  Committee. 


This  officer  was  the  commander  of 
the  USS  Portsmouth,  the  war  vessel 
under  the  jurisdiction  of  Commodore 
John  P.  Sloat,  which  occupied  the 
Spanish  settlement  of  Verba  Buena 
(San    Francisco). 

Bartlett  Street  carries  the  name 
of  an  officer  of  the  USS  Portsmouth, 
Lieutenant  Washington  A.  Bartlett, 
USN.  This  officer  became  the  first 
American  Alcalde,  or  Mayor-Milit- 
ary Commander,  of  Verba  Buena.  It 
was  Lieutenant  Bartlett  who  official- 
ly changed  the  name  of  the  city  to 
San  Francisco  with  an  ordinance 
published  on  January  30,  1847. 

Other  military  men  also  were 
among  those  who  gained  a  measure 
of  immortality  through  the  good  of- 
fices of  the  town  surveyors  and  the 
city  council.  Bryant  Street  is  named 
for  Edwin  Bryant,  a  soldier  in  John 
Fremont's  battalion.  An  author  and 
adventurer  turned  politician,  Bryant 
became  Alcalde  of  San  Franc- 
isco next  after  Bartlett.  General  Step- 
hen Watts  Kearny  of  Kearny  Street 
fame  was  first  known  as  the  com- 


Ji^m  C-      •eniont

mandcr  of  an  American  expedition 
intended  to  conquer  New  Mexico 
and  California.  The  expedition  was 
defeated  at  the  Battle  of  San  Pascual 
in  1846  and  the  conquest  of  Cali- 
fornia was  accomplished  by  others. 
He  served  as  Military  Governor  of 
the  state  in  1847  and  testified  against 
John  C.  Fremont  in  the  Washington 
inquiry  investigating  Fremont's  rath- 
er cavalier  annexation  of  territories 
here  in  the  West.  Perhaps  his  own 
failure  to  accomplish  what  Fremont 
did  was  the  cause  of  his  disaffection. 
In  any  case.  Kearny  and  Fremont 
feuded  for  the  rest  of  their  lives, 
though  both  are  represented  among 
San  Francisco's  street  names. 


Henry  Clay,  who  introduced  in  the 
Senate  a  series  of  resohilions  which 
became  the  basis  of  the  famous  com- 
promise of  1850.  A  m  o  n  g  these 
resohitions  was  one  declaring  that 
California  ought  to  be  admitted  to 
the  Union  without  regard  to  what 
her  decision  on  slavery  might  be. 
San  Francisco  honored  Henry  Clay 
by  naming  one  of  its  streets  for  him. 


Grant  Avenue  was  named  for 
Ulysses  Simpson  Grant,  who  resided 
in  the  city  for  several  years  before 
returning  to  military  service  during 
the  Civil  War,  and  Van  Ness  Avenue 
bears  the  name  of  James  Van  Ness. 
who  was  elected  Mayor  in   1956. 


Sutler's  Mill  where  gold  was  discovered  as   told  about  in  Sam 
Brannan's  paper  the  "California  Star". 


Ellis  Street  and  Geary  Street  were 
named  for  Alfred  J.  Ellis  and  John 
W.  Geary,  both  were  members  of 
the  California  State  Constitutional 
Convention  in  1849.  Geary's  career 
was  particularly  distinguished,  for 
he  was  the  last  alcalde  and  the  First 
Mayor   of   S  a  n    Francisco,    elected 


under  the  new  City  Charter  in  lS5(i 
He  also  served  as  a  General  Ofticei 
in  the  Civil  War  and  later  as  gover- 
nor of  Kansas  and  Pennsylvania. 

OFarrell  Street  bears  the  name 
of  Jasper  O'Farrell,  a  surveyor  who 
was  employed  to  map  San  Francisco 
in  1847.  The  origin  of  Bush  Street's

lanie  is  slightly  more  ambiguous.  It 
lias  been  suggested  that  J. P.  Bush 
Aas  one  of  OTarrell's  assistants, 
laving  joined  his  surveying  crew 
ifter  jumping  ship  in  1845. 

William  M.  Eddy  for  whom  Eddy 
Street  was  named,  was  San  Franc- 
isco's City  Surveyor  in  1849.  He 
.ontinued  the  work  begun  by  Jasper 
O'Farrell  and  eventually  became 
Surveyor  General  of  California. 

Samuel  Brannan,  for  whom  Bran- 
nan  Street  was  named,  is  famous  in 
the  City's  past.  A  leader  of  Mor- 
mons, he  was  also  the  printer  of 
the  first  newspaper  in  the  City,  the 
California  Star.  It  was  Brannan's 
paper  that  published  John  Marshall's 
discovery  of  gold  at  Sutter's  Mill 
and  actually  precipitated  the  Gold 
Rush   of    1849.

John  A.  Sutter,  the  man  who  gave 
his  name  to  Sutter  Street,  was  the 
Swiss  settler  who  came  to  California 
in  1839  to  found  a  settlement 
known  as  New  Helvetia.  It  was  Sut- 
ter who  owned  the  land  where  John 
Marshall  discovered  gold,  and  this 
stroke  of  fortune  actually  ruined 
him.  Squatters  and  claim  jumpers 
preempted  his  legal  claims  to  the 
land  and  left  him  a  poor  man  in 
the  midst  of  riches. 

Post  Street  is  named  for  Gabriel 

B.  Post,  who  came  to  the  city  in 

1849  and  became  one  of  the  most

ABOUT  THE  BOOK 


ABOUT  THE  AUTHOR 


Mama  Came  to  Calijornia  is  a 
sprightly  styled  history  of  pioneer 
Yuba  County,  California. 

With  a  gold  mine  of  anecdotal 
nuggets  the  author  skillfully  fashions 
a  series  of  swift  moving  composite 
pictures  of  frontier  life  as  her  mother 
and  other  pioneers  saw  it. 

Her  mother,  Sarah  Jane  McElroy, 
best  known  as  "Sadie"  to  her  relatives 
and  friends,  moves  easily  and 
naturally  through  a  period  of  thirty- 
five  eventful  years  commencing  with 
the  exciting  Fifties. 

Here  is  a  factual  story  of  pioneer 
life  with  its  bad  men,  its  stalwart  law 
men  like  Sheriff  Hank  McCoy,  its 
schot)ls,  its  churches,  its  towns,  and 
best  of  all  its  resourceful,  hard-work- 
ing people  who  built  the  County. 


Gertrude  Cable  was  Ixirn  in  Marys- 
ville.  Yuba  County,  California,  the 
daughter  of  Peter  James  Finnegan 
and  Sarah  Jane  McFlroy  Hnnegan. 

After  being  graduated  from  Notre 
Dame  High  School  in  Marysville. 
she  matriculated  at  San  Jose  State 
when  it  was  still  a  normal  schtxil. 
I'pon  her  graduation  there  she  entered 
Chico  State  where  she  received  her 
A.B.  and  Administration  credential. 


For    thirty-nine    years    she    was 
Principal    and    Superintendent   of   thci 
.Arboga  Elementary  school  (now  parti 
of    the    Unified    District)     in    Yubi 
County. 

She  is  a  member  of  Marys- 
ville Parlor,  Native  Daughters  of  thcj 
Golden  West,  as  well  as  of  the  Marys- 
ville-Yuba  City  branch  of  University 
Women.  She  is  a  past  president  <rf 
Beta  Omega  Chapter,  Delta  Kappa 
Gamma. 

Mrs.  Cable  is  listed  in  "Who's 
Who  of  American  Women,"  "Who's  i 
Who  in  the  West,"  "Personalities  of 
the  West  and  Midwest",  "Who's  Who 
in  California,  1969,"  "The  Royal 
Blue  Book  of  Leaders  of  the  English 
Speaking  World,"  and  "Two  Thou- 
sand Women  of  Achievement." 

Gerinide  Cable  has  a  real  sense 
of  loyalty  to  her  native  land,  which 
has  prompted  her  to  write  of  it  fre- 
quently. She  has  one  other  published 
book.  Three  Summers  With  I'op, 
written    in   memorv   of   her  father.

of  that  community,  located  twelve 
miles  south  of  Santa  Barbara,  at  the 
Carpinteria  Veterans  Memorial  Hall 
was  held  by  Tierra  de  Oro  No.  304. 
The  large  audience  of  oldtimers 
of  the  Carpinteria  Valley  and  mem- 
bers of  the  Parlors  of  the  area  were 
entertained  by  a  group  of  dancers 
known  as  the  Lively  Ladies,  under

Mrs.  Dismuke  gave  an  interesting 
talk  on  the  early  homes  of  the  South 
Coast  area,  including  the  area  bet- 
ween Santa  Barbara  and  Car- 
pinteria, beginning  with  the  adobe 
known  as  El  Cuartel  which  is  the 
only  remaining  original  part  of  Santa 
Barbara's  Presidio,  built  in  1782 
under  the  direction  of  Jose  Fran- 
cisco de  Ortega,  and  founded  by 
Father  Presidente  Junipero  Serra. 
This  adobe,  which  later  became 
known  as  the  Valenzuela  Adobe  be- 
cause of  its  occupancy  by  that  family 
tor  manv  vears.  later  was  sold  to  the 


Boy  Scouts  of  America  and  used  as 
the  main  headquarters  for  the  Santa 
Barbara  Boy  Scouts  Council  until 
it  was  necessary  for  them  to  find 
larger  quarters.  The  property  was 
acquired  from  the  Boy  Scouts  by  the 
Santa  Barbara  Trust  for  Historic 
Preservation,  a  privately  organized 
group  interested  in  restoration  of  the 
Santa  Barbara  Presidio  area.  It  was 
deeded  to  the  State  of  California 
and  is  now  a  State  Historical  Monu- 
ment, open  to  the  public.  The  site 
of  El  Cuartel  was  marked  with  a 
State  Historical  Landmark  Plaque  in 
June  1958  during  the  Grand  Par- 
lor of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West  in  Santa  Barbara,  at 
outstanding  ceremonies  participated

A  boutique  and  a  cooked  food

drew  much  business.  Many  of  El

adobe  and  had  not  been  near  the 
famous  building  since  the  earth-

ABOUT  THE  BOOK 


ABOUT  THE  AUTHOR 


Mama  Came  to  California  is  a 
sprightly  styled  history  of  pioneer 
Yuba  County,  California. 

With  a  gold  mine  of  anecdotal 
nuggets  the  author  skillfully  fashions 
a  series  of  swift  moving  composite 
pictures  of  frontier  life  as  her  mother 
and  other  pioneers  saw  it. 

Her  mother,  Sarah  Jane  McElroy. 
best  known  as  "Sadie"  to  her  relatives 
and  friends,  moves  easily  and 
naturally  through  a  period  of  thirty- 
five  eventful  years  commencing  with 
the  exciting  Fifties. 

Here  is  a  factual  story  of  pioneer 
life  with  its  bad  men,  its  stalwart  law 
men    like    Sheriff    Hank    McCoy,    its 

schools,  its  churches,  its  towns,  and 
best  of  all   its    resourceful,   hard- 

k working    people    who    built    the 
County.

ville.  Yuba  County.  California,  the 
daughter  of  Peter  James  Finncgan 
and  Sarah  Jane  McElroy  Finncgan.

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


THE  HISTORY  OF 

SANTA  BARBARA'S  FIESTAS 

bq  Courtenaq  Monsen 


^T  IS  A  PLEASURE  and  a  privilege  to  talk  for  the  Native  Daugh- 
y^  ters  of  the  Golden  West,  because,  as  a  native  son,  I  feel  that 
the  perpetuation  of  the  glorious  traditions  of  California  are  being 
carried  on,  year  after  year,  by  your  orgainzation. 

It  behooves  all  of  us  who  truly  love  California  to  "get  in  the 
act"  as  the  saying  goes,  to  acquaint  the  newcomer  and  the  general 
public  with  our  state's  history,  which  is  one  of  the  most  colorful 
and  illustrious  of  all  the  fifty  states. 

We  must  not  forget,  however,  that  some  of  the  greatest  work 
of  preserving  California's  past  has  been  done  by  newcomers,  not 
the  least  of  whom  has  been  the  great  writer  and  enthusiast. 
Charles  F.  Lummis  who  was  so  anxious  to  become  a  Californian 
tatt  he  walked  from  Cincinnati  more  thran  2507  miles  by  a  circu- 
tous  route,  across  prairies,  deserts  and  mountains  in  1884s  to 
get  here. 

He  was  met,  on  arrival,  by  General  Harrison  Gray  Otis, 
onetime  Santa  Barbara  newspaperman  but  then  proprietor  of 
the  Los  Angeles  Times,  who  offered  Lummis  the  position  as  the 
first  City  Editor  of  his  paper. 

Lummis'  involvement  in  California  affairs  was  very  rapid. 
He  became  chief  librarian  of  the  Los  Angeles  Public  Library, 
editor  of  a  delightful  magazine  called  "The  Land  of  Sunhine". 
and  later  of  "Out  West"".  He  was  assigned  by  Otis  to  accompany 
General  Crook  in  his  pursuit  and  eventual  capture  of  the  illusive 
renegade  Apache  chief  Gerranimo,  the  epic  story  of  which  he 
wrote  for  the  Times. 

He  organized  and  founded  the  "California  Landmarks  Club'" 
and  took  upon  himself  the  task  of  restoring  some  of  the  California 
Missions,  actually  completing  the  rebuilding  San  Diego,  Pala, 
San  Juan  Capistrano,  and  San  Fernando  before  he  left  the  task 
to  others,  including  the  Native  Sons  and  Native  Daughters  to 
finish. 

AUGUST    1971  3 


Ihrough  his  influence  hundreds  ot  the  important  landmarks 
of  California  were  marked  with  plaques,  a  labor  of  love  that  has 
been  perpetuated  by  the  Native  Daughters  for  many  years. 

He  was  a  prolific  writer  about  Calilornia,  and  among  his 
most  important  pieces  to  us  was  an  article  which  first  appeared 
in  the  Press,  antecedent  of  the  News  Press,  in  1923,  entiUed 
"Stand  Fast,  Simta  biu'bara",  which  article  was  reprinted  periodi- 
cally in  that  paper  for  many  years.  It  admonished  Santa  Barbar- 
ans  to  cherish  the  history  and  romance  of  our  city  as  a  sacred 
heritage  for  our  children  and  our  children's  children. 

Lunimis  was  the  male  counterpart  ol  our  greatest  defender 
of  this  history  and  romance,  a  defender-in-residence,  for  more 
than  half  a  century.  Pearl  Chase! 

As  early  as  lb72,  just  yy  years  ago,  that  magical  year  in  our 
history  just  three  years  after  the  transcontinental  railroad  was 
completed,  the  charms  of  Santa  Barbara  were  being  sung. 
Charles  Nordhott,  a  writer  from  the  £ast  Coast,  visited  Santa 
Barbara  and  returned  to  write  a  best  seller  called  "Calilorma 
for  Health,  Pleasure  and  Residence",  m  which  be  so  eulogized 
Santa  Barbara  that  easterners  in  droves  began  arrivmg  by  ever> 
ship. 

in  that  same  year  the  local  businessmen  organized  the  first 
Chamber  ot  Commerce  in  the  name  of  the  "Imniigration  Bureau" 
and  planned  our  first  tourist  hotel,  the  Arlington,  which  was 
completed  in  lb75,  the  same  year  as  the  Palace  in  San  hranciico. 

John  P.  Stearns  helped  matters  greatly  by  building  the  whart 
that  carries  his  name  to  this  da>,  thus  enuing,  in  eltect,  the  isola- 
tion of  Santa  Barbara. 

Jose  Lobero  built  his  theatre  to  add  a  touch  of  culture,  and 
the  city  was  provided  with  street  lamps  lueied  by  a  patent  gas 
shipped  in  from  San  Prancisco.  Board  walks  were  auded.  State 
street  was  graded,  and  soon  after,  churches,  banks,  and  other 
signs  of  a  modern  civilization  began  to  spring  up  in  the  town. 

Iraditionally,  the  Native  Daughters  ha\e  held  a  Piesta  pro- 
gram at  Rockwood  as  one  of  the  many  parts  they  play  in  com- 
memoration of  Old  Spanish  Days,  and  it  may  not  be  amiss  for 
me  to  briefly  recall  how  this  peculiarly  Santa  Barbara  celebration 
started.  It  is  an  old  story  to  many  of  you  here,  for  in  the  phrase 
of  the  old  radio  program,   "You  Were  There!" 

But  each  year  there  arc  young  people  growing  up.  and  new- 
comers as  guests,  who  do  not  personally  remember  back  47  years. 


CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


Santa  Barbara  has  periodically  put  on  festivals  and  parades. 
This  is  a  heritage  from  our  Spanish  forebears. 

One  of  the  first  notable  celebrations  of  record  was  the  wed- 
ding of  Anita  de  la  Guerra  to  the  American  shipping  agent, 
Alfred  Robinson,  in  1836,  as  told  in  Richard  Henry  Dana's 
classic  book,  "Two  Years  Before  the  Mast." 

This  event,  by  the  way,  is  being  re-enacted  in  pageant  form 
next  Sunday,  August  first,  for  the  members  of  the  Santa  Barbara 
Historical  Society,  after  which  there  will  be  a  special  showing  of 
Anita's  jewelry,  including  her  lovely  engagement  ring,  her  beau- 
tiful wedding  gown,  and  the  letter  that  Robinson  wrote  to  Jose 
de  la  Guerra  y  Noriega,  her  father,  asking  for  her  hand  in  mar- 
riage. There  are  many  other  mementoes  of  that  time  in  the  muse- 
um, including  portraits  of  the  members  of  the  de  la  Guerra 
family.  Some  of  these  effects  have  been  loaned  to  the  museum  by 


Mission   Santa  Ihirluira.    "Queen   ni   the   Missions" 

AUGUST.   1971 


Casa  (le  la  (liierrii  wiiich  was  completed  in   IH27 


members  of  the  dc  la  Gueira  and  Dibblee  families,  all  deccndants 
of  Jose,  who  are  here  with  us  this  afternoon. 

Another  important  celebration  marked  the  visit  of  Bishop 
Garcia  Diego,  California's  first  Bishop,  in   1842. 

In  1S86  a  great  flower  festival  was  held  to  celebrate  the 
founding  of  the  Santa  Barbara  Mission  in  1786.  Many  said  this 
was  the  inspiration  for  the  famous  Tournament  of  Roses  in  Pasa- 
dena, which  started  seven  >ears  later. 

The  arrival  of  the  first  railroad  train  from  Los  /Nngclcs  in 
1887  brought  out  more  than  5,000  celebrants  and  was  cnc  ol 
the  notable  events  of  that  decade. 

President  Benjamin  Harrison's  visit  in  1891  was  the  occa- 
sion of  another  beautiful  flower  festival,  and  this  was  followed  in 
1901  by  a  spectacular  parade  to  mark  the  visit  of  President 
Mckinley  shortly  before  his  assasination  in  ButTalo. 

When  Teddy  Roosevelt  sent  the  Great  White  fleet  around 
the  world  to  impress  foreign  nations,  notably  Japan  and  Germany. 
the  fleet  stopped  here  in  the  open  roadstead,  and  this  called  fcr 
another  outstanding  parade  uhich  included  the  white— clad  sailors 
from  the  sixteen  battleships,  including  their  bands  and  marines. 
This  was  in    1 90S. 


CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


La  Primavera,  the  "Masque  of  Santa  Barbara"  being  a  cele- 
bration of  Springtime,  was  put  on  with  pomp  and  circumstance 
in  1920,  a  year  after  World  War  I,  under  the  leadership  of  James 
B.  Rickard,  with  Hobart  Chatfield-Taylor  and  a  host  of  other 
dedicated  citizens,  including  the  descendants  of  the  De  la  Guerras 
and  the  Dibblees,  all  of  whom  took  a  very  prominent  part  in  the 
celebration. 

In  1924  the  Community  Arts  Association,  which  continues 
today  in  the  name  of  one  of  its  most  active  committees,  ""Plans 
and  Planting",  with  its  chairman  the  unsinkable  Pearl  Chase, 
planned  a  great  celebration  to  commemorate  the  opening  of  the 
new  Lobero  Theatre  on  the  site  of  the  old  one.  That  event,  which 
included  an  elaborate  historical  parade,  proved  to  be  the  fore- 
runner of  our  Old  Spanish  Days  Fiesta  parade,  now  in  its  forty- 
seventy  year! 

Because  of  the  earthquake  of  1925  the  parade  that  year  was 
omitted,  but  an  organization  bearing  the  name  of  ""Old  Spanish 
Days"  was  incorporated  in  .August  and  a  pageant  was  produced 
called,  "'A  Night  in  Spain",  in  the  Peabody  Stadium.

After  furnishing  the  Calfioriiiu  Herald  to  meml->ers  and 
others,  as  the  official  publication  of  the  Native  Daughters 
of  the  Golden  West,  for  the  past  fifteen  years  we  find  we 
can  no  longer  do  so. 

Steadily  mounting  production  and  mailing  costs  com- 
bined with  decrease  in  subscriptions  have  made  this  decision 
mandatory. 

The  Herald  is  running  at  a  loss  and  while  wc  will  per- 
sonally absorb  the  same  and  will  continue  to  publish  as 
your  official  publication  to  the  end  of  this  subscription  year, 
to  wit:  August,  1971,  we  have  no  proposal?  to  make  for  its 
further  continuance  on  the  present  ha.sis. 

During  these  many  years  we  have  made  lasting  friend- 
ships with  many  of  your  members.  These  friendships,  which 
wc  greatly  cherish,  wc  expect  to  continue. 


CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


No  one  can  work  as  closely  as  we  have  with  your 
Order  for  these  many  years  without  becoming  embued  with 
the  spirit  which  has  carried  it  onward  during  these  eventful 
times. 

Our  sincerest  wish  is  that  the  Native  Daughters  of  the 
Golden  West  will  continue  to  prosper  in  the  future. 

Sincerely,

Dance.  The  "Varsoviennc"  or  "La  Varsoviana"  is  a  traditional 
dance  brought  to  California  by  the  first  Europeans.  It  is  per- 
formed in  a  variety  of  tempos  and  was  popular  in  Europe,  the 
United  States  and  Mexico.  The  name  is  assumed  to  be  derived 
from  the  word  "varsovian"  meaning  a  resident  of  Warsaw,  Po- 
land. "The  Shawl  Dance"  which  is  Las  Fiesteras'  most  famous 
dance  was  created  for  them  between  35  and  40  years  ago  by  the 
late  Theresa  Janssens  Lane.  It  is  not  seen  anywhere  else  in  the 
world,  and  is  performed  with  heirloom  shawls.

lipijARLY  IN  1970  the  Parlor  members  of  1  terra  de  Oro  No.  304 
■  i"  ^  took  action  to  bring  the  Pascual  Botillier  Adobe  under  the 
aegis  of  the  El  Pueblo  Viejo  Ordinance  of  the  City  of  Santa  Bar- 
bara, by  petitioning  the  Santa  Barbara  City  Council  to  cover  the 
adobe  with  the  protection  of  this  special  ordinance.  The  adobe, 
which  had  been  occupied  continuously  from  1843  until  April  of 
1969  by  descendants  of  the  builder,  had  to  be  placed  on  the  mar- 
ket for  sale  to  settle  the  estate  of  Gerard  Grand,  deceased  grand- 
son of  the  builder  of  the  adobe,  who  had  left  a  life  estate  in  his 
historic  edifice  to  his  wife,  and  provided  that,  on  her  death,  the 
property  on  which  the  adobe  stood  would  go  in  equal  shares  to 
seven  surviving  daughters.  There  was  no  meeting  of  the  minds 
among  the  seven  survivors  as  to  preservation  of  the  adobe,  and 
it  was  in  danger  of  demolition  to  make  way  for  multiple  develop- 
ment. The  action  of  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  and 
the  City  of  Santa  Barbara  prevented  the  adobe's  destruction,  but

A  special  feature  of  this  annual  tea  is  the  first  public  pre- 
sentation of  the  parlor  member  who  has  been  chosen  by  the  parlor

tory. This  year's  choice  is  the  parlor  president,  Nancy  Wells 
(Nancy  Perez  Flukcr),  a  native  Santa  Barbaran  and  parlor  mem- 
ber for  five  years.  Nancy  is  chairman-advisor  of  Princesa  del  Mar

sored and  decorated  by  parlor  members.  She  will  also  appear 
on  the  steps  of  the  Old  Mission  on  Fiesta's  opening  night,  at 
several  parties,  and  each  night  of  Noches  de  Ronda  performances 
in  the  sunken  garden  of  the  famed  courthouse. 

St.  Barbara,  a  young  girl  living  in  Asia  Minor  at  the  end  of 
the  third  century,  was  converted  to  Christianity  and  refused  to 
renounce  her  faith  when  her  father  demanded  it  of  her.  He  impri- 
soned her  in  a  tower  and  later  beheaded  her.  For  this  act  he  was 
struck  dead  by  lightning.  The  tower  is  one  of  the  saint's  symbols 
and  appears  on  St.  Barbara's  float  in  the  parade  and  in  our  city's 
flag.  St.  Barbara  is  revered  by  Christians  of  many  lands  and  ap- 
pears with  her  symbols  in  numerous  works  of  art.  The  Santa 
Barbara  Channel  was  named  for  the  saint  by  Sebastian  Viscaino 
in  1602  when  he  sailed  into  it  on  December  4,  her  feast  day.  In 
the  following  century  the  Presidio,  Mission  and  pueblo  were 
named  in  honor  of  St.  Barbara,  who  is  the  patroness  of  sailors, 
artillerymen  and  architects.  Old  Spanish  Days  in  Santa  Barbara 
was   held   on   August    11    to    15.   '^-

made  it  difficult  to  sell  the  property.  J  ierra  de  Oro  attempted  to 
purchase  the  property  for  its  own  uses,  but  found  that  the  cost 
of  repair  and  restoration  were  too  great  for  the  Parlor  to  handle, 
and  so  the  project  had  to  be  abandoned.  However,  with  the  pub- 
licity attendant  on  the  saving  of  the  adobe,  it  came  to  the  atten- 
tion of  an  artist,  architect  and  builder  by  the  name  of  Harry  Per- 
kins and  his  wife,  and  in  late  1970  or  early  1971  the  Perkins 
purchased  this  famous  little  adobe  for  purposes  ot  their  home- 
place.  They  have  done  extensive  restoration.  On  Saturday,  Aug- 
ust 14,  1971,  Tierra  de  Oro  placed  a  bronze  marker  on  the  adobe, 
and  the  Perkins  family  allowed  the  invited  guests  and  the  public 
to  view  the  house,  and  to  have  tea  as  the' guests  of  the  Parlor. 
This  event  was  planned  in  connection  with  this  year's  Old  Span- 
ish Days  Fiesta,  which  began  this  year  on  August  1 1  and  con- 
tinued through  the  14th.  The  marking  took  place  at  3:00  p.m., 
followed  by  a  reception  and  open  house.  The  Perkins  have  also 
given  the  Parlor  permission  annually  to  have  an  open  house  and 
reception  at  this  famous  home  that  will  on  one  day  each  \ear  be 
opened  for  the  public  view.

l^j  tCENTLV  Bueim  Ventura  Parlor  No.  95,  Ventura  came  to 
JTw  ''ght  in  Carson  City,  Nevada,  in  the  form  of  a  cast  iron, 
gold  painted  Grizzly  Bear  with  the  initials  N.D.G.W.  on  the 
bottom  and  the  number  95  on  the  bear.  Attached  was  a  card 
which  read,  "Jim  Hanford  molded  and  gave  this  to  us  when 
electricity  was  first  used  in  Sacramento." 

Where  in  Carson  City  did  this  little  Grizzly  Bear  appear? 
Hanging  on  a  nail  on  an  overhead  beam  in  an  Antique  Shop.  How 
the  Bear  arrived  there  is  a  mystery.  The  owner  did  not  remember 
where  or  from  whom  he  had  acquired  it.  Further  research  and 
with  the  help  of  NDGW  Grand  Historian  Orinda  Giannini,  some 
of  the  history  of  Buena  Ventura  Parlor  No.  95,  Ventura,  was 
found. 


On  February  16,  1897,  Buena  Ventura  No.  95,  was  institut- 
ed with  Grand  President  Mary  E.  Tillman  of  Minerva  No.  2,  San 
Francisco,  presiding.  The  Charter  President  was  Miss  Edith  H. 
Bonestel  and  the  Charter  Past  President,  Cora  Sifiord.  Presum- 
ably she  was  also  the  organizer  as  she  had  been  very  active  and 
influential  in  the  organization  of  Buena  Ventura  Parlor.  Unfor- 
tunately, the  proceedings  do  not  state  the  name  of  the  organizer.

There  were  33  charter  members,  and  they  participated  in  th^r 
first  Grand  Parlor  held  at  Sonora  in  June.  1897,  with  Grand  Pres- 
ident Mary  E.  Tillman,  Minerva  Parlor  presiding. 

Biiena  Ventura  Parlor  was  noted  for  its  many  civic  activities 
and  musicals  as  they  were  endowed  with  a  number  of  talented 
musicians.  They  prided  themselves  on  the  perfection  of  their 
ritualistic  work.  In  this  PGP  Cora  SifTord  was  their  inspiration 
and  guiding  light.  (She  was  Chairman  of  Ritual  for  Grand  Par- 
lor, introduced  legislation  for  a  full  music  program  in  the  Order 
IS  well  as  setting  up  the  History  and  Landmarks  Committee.  She 
also  made  a  vital  contribution  to  the  expansion  of  the  Order  in 
Southern  California.  Mrs.  Sifford  was  Grand  President  in  1899- 
1900  presiding  at  Grand  Parlor  in  Jackson  in  June  1900.) 

Later  with  54  members,  Biiena  Ventura  Parlor  celebrated 
Washington's  birthday  with  a  ball.  They  also  celebrated  Flag  Day 
and  held  joint  installations  with  Ventura  Native  Sons  on  numer- 
ous occasions.  They  held  a  high  place  in  the  community  due  to 
their  outstanding  programs.  Their  elegant  meetings  were  held  in 
the  finest  locations  in  the  City.  Then,  on  August  13.  1919  Buena 
Ventura  Parlor  surrendered  their  Charter.  Why  such  an  active 
Parlor  with  such  talented  and  active  members  dropped  out,  we 
can  only  guess.  All  that  is  mentioned  in  the  statement,  "lack  of 
interest  of  members".  An  effort  at  reorganization  failed. 

Now,  almost  52  years  later,  their  'little  Grizzly  Bear  Em- 
blem' has  returned  home  and  will  be  residing  in  the  Historical 
Room  at  the  Native  Datighter  Home,  a  memory  and  a  reminder 
that  tolerance,  understanding,  sisterly  love  and  devotion  to  our 
Order  is  still  very  important  in  keeping  the  Native  Daughters  of 
the  Golden  West  the  great  organization  it  is.

^assett  Station 

(tS7t  -  1906) 


I  HIS  WORLD-FAMOUS  early  day  California  Inn  was  owned  and 

operated  by  Jacob  H.  and  Mary  Bassett  and  their  family, 
for  over  a  quarter  of  a  century.  The  property  was  known  as 
Howard  Ranch,  named  for  the  first  owner,  Howard  Chris  Teger- 
man.  According  to  the  Mountain  Messenger  of  May  6,  1865,  he 
acquired  the  property  at  that  time.  The  Inn  was  a  large  log  cabin 
which  was  soon  replaced,  by  the  Bassetts  with  a  two  story  frame 
building  called  BASSETT  HOUSE. 

The  Daily  stage,  freight  teams  and  other  weary  travelers 
made  it  a  regular  stop  for  meals  and  overnight  accomodations. 
Everyone  was  received  in  the  same  cordial  manner,  for  nobody, 
rich  or  poor  ever  left  Mary  Bassett's  house  hungry. 

In  the  1880's  and  '90's  it  was  the  headquarters  for  the  manv 
miners  who  overran  the  area.  Later  it  became  a  popular  resort 
for  fishermen  and  hunters  who  had  discovered  the  abundance  of 
fish  and  game  to  be  found  there.  It  was  said  that  Mary  Bassett 
"grubstaked"  more  miners  than  any  other  individual  in  the 
Sierra-Nevada  mountains. 

John,  only  son  in  a  family  of  five  children,  was  a  famous 
guide  and  for  many  years  carried  the  ULSL  Mail  C40  lbs.  on  his 
back)  from  Sattley  to  Sierra  City,  on  skiis,  over  the  rugged  Yuba 
Pass,  making  the  round  trip  of  40  miles  in  two  days.  He  did  this 
in  the  winter,  alone  and  regardless  of  snow  and  blizzard.  He  was 
totally  deaf.  It  was  impossible  to  lose  him  in  the  rugged  moun- 
tains. 

.At  the  height  of  its  dnv  there  were,  besides  the  hotel,  two 
large  barns,  one  for  horses  and  one  for  oxen,  a  saw  mill,  black- 
smith shop  and  a  boardine  house  for  the  mill  workers.  The  hotel 
houses  one  of  the  first  telegraph  instruments  in  this  part  of  the 
mountains  and  was  operated  by  members  of  the  family. 

Jacob  Bassett  died  in  the  middle  '80's  and  Mary  died  July  1 1, 
1893.  The  hotel  was  operated  for  two  years  by  the  two  youngest 
daughters,  then  by  other  members  of  the  family  until  it  was  sold 


SEPTEMBER.  1971 


to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Robert  Lowden  in  the  early  1900's.  It  was 
operated  by  this  family  until  1937  when  the  old  hotel  was  torn 
down. 

This  historic  spot  has  been  known  as  Bassctts  for  almost 
100  years  and  is  so  marked  on  most  California  maps.  The  location 
is  five  miles  beyond  Sierra  City  on  State  Highway  49.  at  the 
intersection  of  the  Gold  Lake  Road. 

Jacob  Bassett  came  from  Wayne  County,  Pennsylvania, 
across  the  Isthmus,  in  the  early  1850's.  He  settled  in  Downie- 
ville.  Two  years  later  he  sent  for  Mary  Hagerty  who  came 
around  the  Horn.  It  took  three  months  and  she  was  ill 
every  minute  of  the  long  journey.  They  were  married  and  all  of 
the  children  but  one  were  born  in  Downieville.  Maude  the  young- 
est was  born  at  Bassett's. 

This  historic  spot  was  marked  by  the  dedication  of  a  bronze 
plaque  by  NDGW  Parlors,  Naomi  No.  36  and  Aiihiirn  No.  233 
with  Presidents  Rose  Eames  and  Anna  Brown  unveiling  the 
plaque  and  PP  Stella  Weaver  reading  a  history  of  the  Bassett 
family  and  the   Bassettt  Station.  ^•

ORINOA 

Orinda  Parlor  is  famous  for  its  50year  members  and  the 
Parlor  wishes  to  honor  them  for  their  faithfulness  and  devotion 
to  the  Native  Daughters  of  the  Golden  West  for  all  of  these  years. 
Verena  Friede  a  58-year  member  joined  Orinda  Parlor  April  28, 
1913.  She  became  a  second-generation  Native  Daughter  since 
her  mother,  Mrs.  Katharine  Britscgi,  was  a  charter  member  of  the 
Parlor.  Joining  the  parlor  in  1890,  she  was  a  55-ycar  member 
when  she  passed  away. 

Serving  as  Organist  for  Orinda  Parlor  for  over  50  years. 
Verena  was  President  in  1922.  When  the  ceremony  was  held 
honoring  her  for  her  fifty  years,  she  asked  to  be  presented  with 
her  mother's  50-year  membership  pin.  A  widow,  she  is  an  avid 
theatregoer  and  enjoys  immensely  the  San  Francisco  Light  Opera 
Season,  the  Pop  Concerts  and  television.  She  is  a  lovely  and 
gracious  person,  with  a  delightful  sense  of  humor  and  a  sweet 
smile  —  always  on  her  face.  She's  "real  hep"  and  '^^ith  it"  as  a 
great  favorite  of  the  Orinda  Sisters  —  Our  Verene!

There  are  those  of  our  older  generation  who  see  nothing 
particularly  wrong  in  stealing  watermelons.  To  them,  this  story  is 
dedicated. 

The  principal  character  of  this  tale  is  youthful  Henry  Kiicliel 
who  in  later  years  became  the  dignified  and  well-respected  pub- 
lisher of  the  Anaheim  Gazette. 

A  GROUP  OF  POLISH  emigres  resided  on  a  small  ranch  east  of 
Anaheim  in  1876,  among  whom  were  Karol  Bozenta 
Chlapowski,  veteran  of  the  Polish  Uprising  in  1863,  his  beautiful 
and  talented  actress  wife,  Helena  Modjeska,  and  young  Henryk 
Sienkiewicz,  destined  to  become  an  internationallv  known  novelist.

OCTOBER.  1971 


Unfortunately,  these  idealists  had  had  no  experience  in 
agriculture  and  their  idyllic  dreams  were  shattered  in  the  face 
of  rude  realism.  Incredible  as  it  may  seem,  they  were  victimized 
by  people  brazenly  entering  their  vineyard  and  stealing  large 
quantities  of  grapes. 

Their  protests  were  met  by  the  explanation  that  "such  was 
the  custom  of  the  country."  'We  were  too  courteous  to  con- 
tradict them,"  explained  Mme.  Modjeska,  "and  we  smilingly 
consented  to  be  robbed,  respecting  the  practice." 

Near  the  Chlapowski  residence  "grew  the  largest  and  finest 
pear  tree  in  the  valley."  whose  luscious  fruit  was  well  known 
throughout  the  vicinity.  Of  course,  the  local  boys  were  inti- 
mately acquainted  with  this  tree  and  one  evening  several  of  them 
paid  it  a  visit.  Among  them  was  young  Henry  Kuchel,  who  was 
wearing  his  new  black  Stetson  hat  of  which  he  was  very  proud. 
It  was  not  only  a  handsome  hat.  but  it  was  the  only  one  of  its 
kind  in  Anaheim. 

Assisted  by  an  overcast  sky  which  darkened  the  night. 
Henry  and  his  friends  climbed  the  tree  and  commenced  picking 
pears,  some  of  which  they  ate  and  others  they  stuffed  into  their 
jackets  for  future  consumption.  In  the  midst  of  their  plundering 
the  back  door  of  the  Chlapowski  house  opened.  From  the 
kitchen  a  flood  of  light  shot  outward  toward  the  tree. 

Fearing  a  charge  of  birdshot,  the  boys  dropped  to  the 
ground.  "  'Dropped'  is  the  word,"  recalled  Kuchel  fifty  years 
later.  "We  did  not  climb  down  the  tree,  but  absolutely  dropped 
to  the  ground  like  so  many  pebbles.  My  new  black  Stetson  hat 
was  lost  in  the  downward  descent!" 

The  boys  fled  through  the  willows,  crossed  an  irrigation 
ditch,  which  fortunately  was  dry.  and  sped  toward  town.  Henry 
\vent  home  bareheaded.  On  the  next  morning  he  appeared  at 
school  wearing  an  old  hat.  Everyone  asked  him  the  whereabouts 
of  his  new  Stetson.  He  lamely  explained  that  he  was  saving  it 
for  Sunday. 

On  the  following  day,  Chtapowski,  usually  called  Count 
Bozcnta.  appeared  at  the  newspaper  office  where  Henn,  worked 
as  a  "printer's  devil."  He  was  carrying  the  Stetson  which  he 
presented  to  the  editor  with  the  request  that  he  return  it  to  the 
person  to  whom  it  belonged.  He  explained  that  he  seriously 
objected  to  boys  climbing  the  tree  to  steal  the  fruit  and  requested 
him  to  tell  the  owner  of  the  hat  that  he  had  only  to  ask  for  some 
pears  and  he  would  be  amply  supplied.  Henry's  cherished  head- 
gear was  restored  to  him  with  a  severe  admonition  to  forever 
stay  away  from  the  tree. 

4  CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


"I  met  Count  Bozenta  and  Madame  Modjeska  many  times 
on  the  streets  in  those  days,"  recalled  Kuchel,  "and  every  time 
their  sight  was  fastened  on  that  Stetson  they  seemingly  said, 
"There  is  the  boy  who  got  away  with  the  pears." 

Some  years  later  Kuchel  became  well  acquainted  with  these 
delightful  people  and  he  remembers  gratefully  that  "the  pear 
episode  was  never  brought  up."

Helena  Mudjeska  in  her  role  as  Mary  Queen  ol  Scots 


CALIFORNrA  HERALD 


■"'^SSLlsa*! 


by 
Dr.  Leo  J.  Friis 


Of  the  Polish  colony  which  settled  in  Anaheim  in  1876, 
the  actress  Helena  Modjeska  is  best  remembered,  probably 
because  she  made  Orange  County  her  home  until  her  death  in 
1909. 

However,  her  compatriot ,  Henryk  Sienkiewicz,  who  left 
Anaheim  after  a  two  year  residence,  gained  greater  world  stature. 
He  freely  acknowledged  that  his  experience  in  California  served 
as  a  catalyst  to  transform  him  from  a  journalist  to  a  novelist. 

Sienkiewicz  was  a  writer  with  an  international  reputation 
even  before  he  was  awarded  the  Nobel  Prize  for  literature  in 
1905. 


WHEN  THIRTY  YEAR  OLD  Henryk  Sienkiewicz  arrived  in 
Anaheim  he  was  totally  unfamiliar  with  the  English  lan- 
guage. No  doubt  he  had  a  smattering  of  German  which  enabled 
him  to  converse  haltingly  with  local  residents,  many  of  which 
were  from  the  Fatherland.  He  also  enjoyed  visits  with  a  few 
Polish  townsmen  which  eased  the  frustrations  of  the  language 
barrier. 

It  was  young  Burton  A.  Edwards,  who  lived  on  a  neighbor- 
ing ranch,  who  was  his  first  and  best  English  teacher.  Some 
twenty  years  later,  Edwards  recalled  the  details  of  the  friendship 
which  sprang  up  between  him  and  Sienkiewicz. 

"I  was  an  amateur  fisherman,"  said  Edwards,  "and  we  be- 
came great  friends  because  of  our  common  fondness  for  angling 
in  the  mountain  trout  streams.  Neither  of  us  could  communicate 
with  the  other  except  by  monosyllables  and  signs  and  motions, 
but  as  we  became  acquainted  we  had  a  fondness  for  each  other 
and  a  heap  of  fun  at  our  clumsy  mode  of  communication.  Young 
Sienkiewicz  soon  learned  to  speak  so  as  to  be  understood  in 
English  and  I  helped  him  learn  several  hundred  words.

"Was  he  a  writer  then?  The  most  patient  and  painstaking 
I  can  imagine.  1  have  seen  him  sitting  at  a  wooden  table  (which 
he  constructed  himself)  writing  day  after  day.  There  were  three 
pepper  trees  away  out  at  the  north  end  of  the  colony  ranch  and 
there  Sienkiewicz  would  sit  and  write.  He  had  three  or  four 
books  in  French  and  Polish  on  the  table,  and  a  stack  of  blue 
paper.  Occasionally  he  would  roll  a  cigarette,  and,  tipping  his 


Henrvk  Sienkiewicz

Pico  House  in  Los  Angeles 


chair  back,  would  blow  smoke  out  of  his  mouth  and  look  up  at 
the  trees  as  if  in  a  trance.  Then  he  would  furiously  resume  writing 
again." 

The  pleasant  association  between  Edwards  and  Sicnkicwicz 
ended  in  1878  when  the  latter  moved  to  Los  Angeles.  Edwards 
paid  him  a  visit  and  found  him  "living  in  cheap  rooms  on  the 
upper  floor  of  the  old  Pico  House,  not  far  from  the  Chinatown 
there.  He  looked  seedy  and  bore  the  marks  of  several  months 
of  hard  mental   labor." 

Sienkiewicz  had  obtained  a  job  with  Nathan  Jacoby,  a 
local  merchant,  and  his  English  had  greatly  improved.  He  was 
earning  some  money  from  articles  sent  to  the  Gazeia  Polska. 
the  newspaper  which  paid  his  expenses  to  America.  In  addition 
he  wrote  four  of  his  famous  Hania  stories  while  residing  at  the 
Pico  House. 

Edwards  states  that  Sienkiewicz  went  to  San  Francisco  "in 
March  or  April,  1879,  and  from  there  went  to  New  York,  thence 
to  Poland.  He  wrote  several  letters  to  Mme.  Modjeska  and  Count 
Bozenta  when  he  reached  Krakow,  but  we  never  heard  of  him 
until  he  burst  into  world-wide  fame  as  the  author  of  Quo  Vadis."

'•PRESERVING  THE  PAST  FOR  THE  FUTURE' 

VoLUMF.  XIX  November,   1971  No.  3 

znyoc     atih  Itis  f^^atiac^a 

by  Leo  J.  Friis 


7/1/5  reminiscence  appeared  in  the  August  23,  1882  edition 
of  the  Anaheim  Gazette.  Fortunately,  the  medical  profession  has 
greatly  advanced  since  the  days  when  anyone  could  prescribe 
for  the  sick. 

AWAY  BACK  IN  THE  sixtics,  whcii  thc  colony  of  Anaheim  was 
in  its  infancy,  and  when  it  was  about  the  only  settled  part 
of  the  county  between  Los  Angeles  and  San  Juan,  the  colonists 
were  plagued  by  myriads  of  [ground]  squirrels  who  found  the 
succulent  vines  more  toothsome  than  the  wild  grasses  of  thc 
plains. 

Individual  efforts  at  extermination  proving  inadequate,  a 
Mexican  was  employed  whose  sole  duty  it  was  to  wander  about 
thc  vineyards  and  drop  poison  into  the  holes  made  by  the  squirrels. 
The  poison  he  concocted  himself  and  mixed  with  corn,  making 
it  into  little  balls,  which  rolled  so  far  into  the  holes  that  the 
squirrels  were  sure  to  find  it. 

He  became  so  skillful  and  expert  at  his  calling  that  he  was 
dubbed  "Doctor"  by  his  employers.  After  a  while  his  country- 
men supposing  from  his  title  that  he  had  in  some  mysterious  way 
acquired  a  knowledge  of  medicine,  began  to  consult  him  when 
suffering  from  any  of  the  ailments  which  erring  humanity  is  heir 
to. 

Finding  that  the  credulous  paisanos  had  faith  in  him,  and 
not  being  overwhelmed  with  an  excess  of  conscientiousness,  the 
"Doctor"  prescribed  for  every  form  of  sickness,  looked  wise  as 
he  felt  the  pulse  of  his  patients  —  about  which  he  knew  as  much 
as  he  did  of  mnemonics  —  and  generally  comported  himself  as  if 

12  CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


he  had  a  diploma  which  had  cost  him  a  hundred  dollars.  Had 
his  patrons  been  more  acute  and  less  credulous,  they  would 
have  discerned  a  suspicious  sameness  about  the  remedies  which 
he  furnished. 

Did  one  have  the  cholera  morbus,  the  result  of  a  surfeit  of 
of  watermelon,  a  dose  of  laudanum  was  promptly  administered. 
Did  another  get  to  the  verge  of  deUrium  by  the  free  imbibition 
of  aguardiente,  a  few  grains  of  opium  never  failed  to  kill  or 
cure.  In  fact,  for  all  the  singular  hereditaments  and  appurtenances 
belonging  to  violations  of  the  laws  of  health,  he  prescribed 
opium  in  some  form,  probably  for  the  reason  that  the  drug  was 
a  favorite  beverage  with  himself,  and  he  was  unselfish  enough 
to  share  with  his  fellow-citizens  the  bliss  which  results  from  its 
use. 

It  is  true,  it  sometimes  happened  that  the  indiscriminate 
use  of  the  poison  had  fatal  results,  and  the  unfortunate  patient 
was  effectively  cured  of  disease  by  being  killed  outright,  but 
these  little  incidents  did  not  seem  to  disturb  the  "Doctor's" 
equanimity  or  diminish  his  popularity  until  the  episode  which 
we  will  now  relate  caused  him  to  retire  from  the  profession. 

There  was,  at  the  time  which  I  write,  a  family  living  in  a 
tent  about  where  the  Washington  Meat  Market  now  stands  on

Edison  plans  to  add

no  by-products  of  combus-

//  was  easy  for  the  "Doctor"  to  prescribe  for 
patients.  After  all  he  used  opium  himself,  why 
not  share  it  with  the  paisanos  for  their  ailments. 


Center  Street.  [The  Market  was  situated  on  the  north  side  of  pre- 
sent named  Lincoln  Avenue,  about  150  feet  west  of  Anaheim 
Boulevard.)  The  wife,  a  most  estimable  woman,  had  been  ailing 
for  a  long  time,  and  was  under  the  "Doctor's"  care.  The  most  in- 
evitable results  followed,  and  the  unconsolable  husband  was  com- 
forted with  the  belief  that  all  had  been  done  for  her  which  it 
was  possible  to  do. 

A  handsome  coflin  was  made  and  brought  into  the  tent,  the 
body  was  dressed,  candles  were  lighted  and  every  preparation 
made  for  the  last  sad  rites.  At  this  juncture  a  gentleman  (who 
had  been  out  of  town  when  the  event  occurred)  entered  the  tent 
and  proferred  his  services  as  a  watcher,  which  were  accepted. 

As  he  sat  looking  at  the  form  of  the  woman  he  detected  a 
slight  motion  of  the  enveloping  shroud,  and  a  hasty  investigation 
showed  that  the  woman  was  alive.  Amid  the  suppressed  excite- 
ment of  the  attendants  and  the  friends  who  had  quickly  gathered, 
restoratives  were  applied,  and  the  woman  recovered  conscious- 
ness; not.  however,  before  the  candles  had  been  extinguished,  the 
colTin  removed,  and  a  more  worldly  garment  substituted  for  the 
shroud. 

The  "resurrection,"  as  it  may  be  termed,  brought  nearly 
the   entire  camp  to  the   spot  —  but   the   "Doctor"   remained  at

not  dead  it  was  not  his  fault.  He  had  done  the  best  he  could. 
He  would  stake  his  professional  reputation  that  she  would  live 
but  a  short  time  —  and  his  prophecy  proved  true,  for  the  woman 
died  sure  enough  in  a  few  days  after  her  escape  from  premature

effect  that  if  ever  the  "Doctor"  was  detected  again  practicing 
the  medical  profession,  he  would  either  be  turned  over  to  the 
lawful  authorities  as  an  imposter,  or  dealt  with  according  to 
local  law  —  which  at  that  time  consisted  of  a  vigorous  application 
of  cat-o-nine  tails.

IN  THE  PIONEER  YEARS  OF  Anaheim  it  was  customary  for  towns- 
men to  visit  a  local  hotel  in  the  evening,  play  a  few  games 
of  cards,  discuss  the  affairs  of  the  day  and  enjoy  a  glass  or  two 
of  beer. 

During  the  cold  winter  of  1877,  Tom  Stagg,  clerk  at  the 
Planters  Hotel,  kept  a  roaring  fire  in  the  lobby  of  the  hostelry. 
With  tightly  closed  doors  and  windows,  the  room  became  an 
almost  impenetrable  haze  of  stale  air  and  acrid  tobacco  smoke. 

Red  Rogers,  a  local  negro,  enjoyed  being  in  the  crowd. 
He  would  grab  a  chair  near  the  stove,  sit  down,  stretch  out  his 
long  legs  and  toast  his  toes  near  the  fire.  In  a  few  minutes  he 
would  be  fast  asleep.  His  loud  snoring  was  distracting  enough,  but 
sometimes  in  his  relaxed  condition,  nauseous  odors  slipped  from 
his  body. 

On  these  occasions  other  guests  in  the  room  protested 
violently  and  Stagg  would  be  obliged  to  awaken  Red  and  quietly 
ask  him  to  leave  the  hotel.  Red  always  complied  uncomplainingly. 
Night  after  night  he  visited  the  hotel  and  often  his  stay  ended 
in  the   same  unceremonious  manner. 

One  evening  Red's  unconscious  behavior  was  more  obnoxious 
than  usual.  In  desperation  Stagg  soaked  a  sponge  in  ice  water, 
removed  sleeping  Red's  hat  and  clamped  the  freezing  object  on 
his  head.  Red  leaped  to  his  feet.  Stagg  eyed  him  stonily.  Red 
returned  his  stare  and  said  quietly,  "I've  been  insulted."  and  left 
the  room. 

A  conference  of  the  hotel  habitues  followed.  Subject:  how 
to  get  rid  of  Red.

On  the  next  day,  as  Red  was  passing  Charlie  Leonard's  meat 
market.  Charlie  beckoned  him  to  come  in. 

"Red,"  he  said.  "1  saw  what  happened  last  night.  It  was  an 
outrage,  a  downright  insult!  It  was  not  only  an  insult  to  you; 
it  was  an  insult  to  the  whole  colored  race.  Certainly,  you  can't  let 
this  pass  by  without  doing  something  about  it! 

"What  can  I  do?"  asked  Red. 

"There's  only  one  thing  to  do,"  replied  Leonard,  "You 
must  have  satisfaction.  You  must  challenge  him  to  a  duel!" 

Rogers  was  starded.  "I'm  not  a  duelling  man,"  he  protested. 

"Nothing  to  be  scared  of,"  assured  Leonard  soothingly. 
"Stagg  is  a  coward.  He  won't  fight.  And  when  he  doesn't  accept 
your  challenge,  he'll  have  to  leave  town  in  disgrace.  Then  you 
won't  have  any  trouble  visiting  at  the  hotel  again." 

Red  hesitated.  He  just  wasn't  a  lighting  man,  he  explained. 

"Don't  worry,"  said  Leonard,  "you  won't  have  to  fight.  I 
tell  you  Stagg  is  a  coward  and  he  won't  fight." 

After  more  persuasive  talk,  Red  agreed. 

"I'll  fix  up  the  challenge,"  volunteered  Leonard.  Taking  a 
pencil  he  commenced  writing  on  a  piece  of  wrapping  paper. 

"Here  it  is."  he  said,  "Let  me  read  it  and  see  how  it 
sounds." 

To  Tom  Stagg,  Esq. 

Because  of  your  conduct  toward  me  last  night.  I  have  been 
insulted.  I  must  have  satisfaction. 

I  hereby  challenge  you  to  a  duel,  to  be  fought  in  the  near 
future  on  the  slaughter  house  grounds,  south  of  Anaheim. 

Weapons  are  to  be  double-barreled  shotguns  with  buckshot. 
I  remain,  your  obedient  servant. 

Red  pondered  the  letter.  "I  think  birdshot  would  be  better 
than  buckshot,""  he  observed. 

'"All  right,  I'll  change  that." 

After  again  being  assured  that  Stagg  would  not  accept  the 
challenge.  Red  signed  the  letter.  Leonard  obligingly  volunteered 
to  deliver  it. 

Later  in  the  day,  Red  returned  to  the  meat  market. 

"I  gave  him  the  letter,"  said  Leonard  gleefully.  "'I  tell  you 
he's  a  coward.  He  won't  fight.  He  asked  for  24  hours  to  think 
over  the  challenge." 

Early  the  next  morning  Leonard  received  Stagg's  reply. 
He  not  only  accepted  the  challenge,  but  also  demanded  that 
charges  of  buckshot  rather  than  birdshot  be  used  and  that  the 
duel  be  fought  at  twenty  paces. 

NOVEMBER.  1971  19 


Leonard  professed  great  surprise.  "I  still  think  he's  blufting." 
he  said  to  Red.  The  latter  was  appalled  at  this  unexpected  turn 
of  events. 

He  went  over  to  Joe  Bennerscheidt's  tin  shop  where  he 
ordered  a  vest  of  sheet  iron  extending  from  his  neck  to  his  hips. 
It  was  best  to  be  prepared,  he  said  to  himself.

After  a  short,  anxious  waiting  period,  the  day  for  the  duel 
arri\cd.  Red  donned  his  armor  beneath  his  shirt  and  proceeded 
slowly  to  the  field  of  honor.  Tom  Stagg  had  obtained  a  bladder 
filled  with  cow's  blood,  which  he  secreted  under  his  vest. 

The  dueling  principals  were  greeted  by  a  large  crowd  of 
spectators.  A  young  man  named  W.  W.  Smith,  who  had  recently 
arrived  to  work  on  the  local  newspaper,  had  been  chosen  master 
of  ceremonies.  He  wore  a  long,  black  coat,  sported  a  "plug" 
hat,  and  comported  himself  with  great  dignity.

CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


He  made  a  great  show  of  examining  Stagg  and  pronounced 
him  fit  to  fight  a  duel.  He  then  approached  Rogers,  who  every- 
one present  knew  was  wearing  an  armored  vest. 

"Don't  touch  me,"  he  shouted,  "I'm  fighting  for  my  life!" 

Smith  calmly  explained  that  he  had  examined  Stagg's  wear- 
ing apparel  and  he  must  do  likewise  with  Red.  After  some 
hesitation,  Red  consented.  Smith  forthwith  removed  the  armor 
amid  roars  of  laughter  from  the  crowd. 

"Don't  worry,"  whispered  Smith  to  Red.  "Stagg  is  awful 
nervous:  he  won't  be  able  to  shoot  straight." 

The  participants  were  placed  back  to  back.  Smith  then 
instructed  them  that  he  would  provide  each  with  a  double- 
barreled  shotgun  loaded  with  buckshot  and  at  the  sound  of  a 
pistol  shot  each  man  was  to  step  oflf  ten  paces,  wheel  and  fire  both 
barrels  of  his  gun.  If  neither  fell,  they  would  resume  their  original 
positions,  surrender  their  guns,  which  would  then  be  loaded 
with  double  charges  of  buckshot.  Upon  the  sound  of  the  pistol 
shot  they  would  each  step  olT  three  paces,  wheel  and  fire. 

Each  party  was  then  handed  a  shotgun  loaded  with  blank 
cartridges.  The  pistol  barked  and  each  man  stepped  forward  ten 
paces,  turned  and  fired.  Stagg  dropped  his  gun,  stumbled  and  fell 
to  the  ground.  With  a  small  knife  he  had  concealed  in  his  hand, 
he  cut  open  the  bladder  of  blood,  and  apparently  in  great  agony, 
weltered   in   the   gore. 

Red  threw  down  his  gun  and  ran  toward  the  slaughter 
house,  the  crowd  pursuing  him,  shouting,  "Get  him!  Hang  him! 
Kill  him!"  In  desperation  Red  vaulted  the  fence  and  landed  in 
the  midst  of  a  herd  of  long  horned  steers.  He  made  his  way 
through  the  startled  animals,  flung  open  the  slaughter  house  door 
and  fell  into  an  uncovered  cesspool. 

The  crowd  followed,  but  all  pretended  not  to  see  him.  After 
some  milling  around  the  spectators  returned  to  town,  Stagg  carry-

Planters  Hotel. 

Red  remained  in  the  cesspool  until  he  was  fished  out  by  his 
brother,  Jim.  That  night  Red  left  town.

This  article  written  by  Henry  Kuchel.  appeared  in  the  Sept- 
ember 30,  1926  issue  of  the  Anaheim  Gazette.  Additions  and 
explanations  are  enclosed  in  brackets. 


AMONG  THE  OLD-TIMERS  WHO  lived,  and  had  their  being  here 
in  early  days,  who  does  not  recall  Constable  Bohn?  Who 
could  ever  forget  this  plain-clothed  minion  of  the  law,  this  up- 
holder of  the  peace  and  dignity  of  this  State,  this  be-lanterned 
guardian  of  the  night? 

[Rudolf  Bohn  commenced  his  Anaheim  career  as  night 
watchman  for  which  the  town  council  paid  him  ten  dollars  per 
month,  the  rest  of  his  compensation  being  contributed  by  local 
merchants.  Suffice  to  say,  he  was  never  over  paid.] 

He  was  on  duty  at  all  hours,  and  once  he  laid  hands  on  an 
offending  culprit,  that  individual  was  marched  straightaway  to 
the  calaboose.  [On  his  nightly  rounds,  he  was  accompanied  by 
his  faithful  dog  and  followed  by  a  host  of  mangy  mongrels  which

frequented  the  streets.  One  evening  the  dignity  of  law  was  rudely 
flouted  by  some  unknown  scoundrels,  who  tied  a  can  to  his  dog's 
tail.  In  the  next  issue  of  the  Gazette  he  announced  he  was  on  the 
trail  of  the  criminals,  but  apparently  he  never  caught  them.] 

He  was  invincible  in  a  political  fight,  could  not  be  beaten 
at  the  polls  and  only  laid  down  the  dignity  and  emoluments  of 
his  office  when  he  was  called  into  another  and  better  world. 

When  periods  of  frost  were  threatened,  his  trusty  ther- 
mometer, carried  securely  in  his  hip  pocket  —  his  "usual"  pack- 
age removed  to  make  room  therefor  —  he  observed  on  his 
numerous  inspections  of  the  device  that  the  weather  continued 
to  be  singularly  warm  during  the  night,  and  when  the  morning 
hours  brought  a  killing  frost  and  he  was  snugly  tucked  away  in 
his  little  bed,  he  explained  that  the  temperature  must  have  sud- 
denly fallen  in  the  after  part  of  the  night.  Of  course,  he  denied 
the  details  of  this  wicked  story,  declaring  it  was  merely  prop- 
aganda to  defeat  him  at  election  and  adding  that  if  a  frost  were 
to  come,  how  the  devil  could  he  stop  it  anyway?

One  evening  at  the  West  Anaheim  depot  (of  the  Southern 
Pacific)    he    sustained    an    olf-tackle    buck    by    the    pilot   of   the 
engine,  which  was  slo\sing  down  for  a  stop  at  the  station.  He 
was  thrown  several  feet  off  the  track,  but  sustained  no  injury. 


CALIFORNIA  HERALD 


and  claimed  that  stories  current,  that  he  wished  to  arrest  the 
engine,  were  false  and  malicious.  [One  wonders  what  he  was 
doing  on  the  track.  Perhaps  there  had  been  too  many  nips  from 
the  package  which  he  ■"usually"  carried  in  his  hip  pocket.] 

When  men  were  kept  at  work  until  late  at  night,  he  offered 
to  see  them  safely  home  for  a  stipend  of  50  cents  per  week. 
When  fires  occurred  late  at  night,  and  he  was  home  sound 
asleep,  he  declared  that  he  could  not  be  expected  to  be  on  duty 
the  entire  day  and  night.  [Following  the  fire  of  1877,  which 
destroyed  several  business  buildings,  there  was  much  criticism 
of  the  ineffectiveness  of  the  local  fire  department.  The  Gazette 
editor  suggested  rather  pointedly,  that  if  the  night  watchman 
had  been  "on  the  job",  the  fire  could  have  been  brought  under 
control  before  it  had  gained  so  much  headway.] 

It  was  said  of  him  that  when  rains  were  falling  he  would 
find  a  convenient  haven  of  refuge  at  sundry  places  down  the 
street  where  he  could  toss  off  a  beaker  of  gambrinus  with  more 
grace  than  any  man  in  town  excepting  Dr.  Ellis.  [Gambrinus  was 
a  beer  made  by  the  Gambrinus  Brewery  in  Los  Angeles.  There 
were  two  Ellis  brothers  in  Anaheim,  both  physicians.  No  attempts 
will  be  made  to  suggest  which  one  is  referred  to.] 

[Bohn's  greatest  problems  arose  during  the  grape  har\est. 
Indian  pickers  got  drunk  on  illegally  purchased  fire  water. 
Somehow  their  skulls  were  impervious  to  the  lusty  blows  which 
Bohn  rained  down  upon  them  with  his  locust  wood  billy  club.] 

Who  can  ever  forget  this  old-time  defender  of  the  faith,  now 
gone  to  his  eternal  reward  in  the  skies?.  Take  him,  for  all  in 
all,  perhaps  we  shall  not  look  upon  his  likes  again. 


Dr.  John  A.  F.  Heyermann  was  Orange  County's  first 
physician  coming  to  Anaheim  in  1862.  He  moved  to  San  Fran- 
cisco in  1873,  and  opened  a  drug  store.
