PREFACE.
CO
Custom renders it essential tKat we sliould write a preface
to a work of this character, otherwise this Gazetteer would
be presented to the public without apology. The compila-
tion of the work has been attended with great expense and
no small amount of annoyance, yet our thanks are due to
most of our county officials and the early settlers of the
county for the very generous responses they have made to
our inquiries, and for their assistance in gathering statistics.
We also extend our acknowledgments to the county clerks
of other counties who have furnished us with lists of their
county and township officers. Had all thus responded those.
^ lists would have been complete, and information would have
^ been given^of which our friends will be deprived.
£S ■ Our work contains more than we promised in our pros-
^ pectus, yet is not in all respects precisely what we at first
fes intended it should be. We did intend to give the incum-
ci brances or legal liabilities upon property in the county; but
abandoned the idea for certain reasons, some of which we
may mention : We find many mortgages of record uncan-
celled, which we have every reason to believe have been
paid— the mortgagees having neglected to cancel them. We
were not inclined, upon reflection, to risk giving offense by
publishing what appears of record and, as a matter of fact,
is public property. With this exception we have omitted
nothing we suggested, but have added much useful informa-
tion not proposed in our prospectus. The public are to be
the jurors to determine its merits.

HISTORY OF TOLO COUNTY.
G-eographical Outlines.
Yolo County is bounded on tlie north by Colusa and
Sutter counties; on the east by Sutter and Sacramento; on
the south by Solano and Napa, and on the west by Napa
and Lake counties. It is separated from Sacramento and
Sutter counties by the Sacramento Biver; from Solano by
Putah Creek, and from Lake and Napa by the summit of a
spur of the coaivo range of mountains.
Upon the organization of the county by the Legislature,
in 1850, the boundaries were not very minutely defined;
but sufficiently designated to show that they have not been
materially changed.
Whatever legislation there has been since the organiza-
tion, of the county upon the subject of its boundaries, has
apparently been more for the purpose of explaining what
was intended by the original Act, than for the purpose of
making any material changes in its actual boundaries.
Although several Acts have been passed for that purpose,
one of which was as late as the session of 1867-8, perhaps
there are none more definite than the Act of March 26th,
1857, which is as follows: "The boundary line of Yolo
County shall commence at a point in the middle of the
Sacramento River, near the head of Merritt's on Steamboat
Slough, at a point where the township line, between town-
ship number five and township number six, north of the
Mount Diablo base line intersects said river; thence run-
ning due west with said township line to the range line,
2 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
between range number two and range number three, east of
the meridian of Mount Diablo; thence due north with said
range line to the south branch or old bed of Putah Creek;
thence westerly u^^ the middle of the old bed, as well as
the main Putah Creek, to a x^oint in the canon where the
highest ridge of mountains divides the valleys of Sacra-
mento and Berryessa; thence along the highest ridge of
said mountains, north to the outlet of Clear Lake, or until
it intersects a line dividing the counties of Yolo and Colusa;
thence east with said line to the middle of Sacramento
iEliver; thence south along the middle of said river to the
place of beginning?"
That section of country thus bounded and embracing
the County of Yolo, has its greatest length from northwest
to southeast, measuring on an air line in that direction a
distance of fifty-eight miles.
The county has been wholly surveyed and sectionized,
from north to south, from Colusa County to Solano County
line, a distance varying from twenty-seven to thirty-three
miles. It has been surveyed due west from a point on the
Sacramento Piiver opposite Sacramento City, a distance of
thirty-three miles, that being the greatest width of the
surveyed portion of the county — there being an average
width from east to west of about twenty-seven and a half
miles, except that portion extending south of the sink of
Putah Creek, as shown by the map.
The extent of the survey westward may, for all practical
purposes, at least for agricultural and grazing purposes, be
considered the western boundary of the county, for beyond
that survey the mountains are rugged and rocky, and wholly
unfit for cultivation or grazing. That portion of the coun-
ty which has been segregated or sectionized, covers an area
of about nine hundred and forty square miles, which, per-
haps for average productiveness of soil, is nowhere sur-
passed, and it may be considered capable of supporting as
mauy inhal)itants to the square mile as any portion of the
country, and we will venture here to digress so far as to
observe that, with a population as dense as an average of
some of the Eastern States, the number of Yolo's inhabi-
tants would exceed one hundred thousand.
HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY.
Except for a distance of three or fpur miles along the
western line of the surveyed portion of the county, the
whole surface presents the appearance of a perfectly level
plain, extending from Colusa County on the north to Solano
on the south, from the Sacramento Eiver on the east to the
low hills at the foot of the mountains on the west, with a
descent so gradual from the mountains to the river as not
to be perceptable to the naked eye.
This plain is only broken by a few creeks and ravines,
which are but trenches worn into the earth by the action of
water as it has drained from the mountains during the rainv
seasons, except Cache Creek, of which we shall presently
speak. We should further state that it is broken by a low,
gravelly ridge (which does not amount to the dignity of a
hill), extending about half way through the county, north-
west to southeast, and being from one to two miles in
width.
Along the bank of the Sacramento Kiver there is a strip
of l^nd varying in width from a few rods to one or two
miles, of a rich, sandy loam, unsurpassed in its productive-
ness of fruits and cereals. Adjoining this, and further from
the river, is a strip of tule and salt-grass land, from half a
mile to three or four miles in width, of a black, clayey soil,
impregnated with alkali, unfit for cultivation and only used
for grazing purposes. Then comes the great body of farm-
ing lands of the county. The soil may be designated as a
black, clayey loam, intermingled with a small proportion of
sand, and it appears to be especially adapted to the growth
of wheat and barley, whilst grapes and other fruits grow
luxuriantly. Such is the soil of the great body of the
county, though the low ridge we have mentioned is a red,
gravelly clay, not so productive as the former, yet by no
means a poor quality of land.
Cache Creek is the only stream of water of note in the
county. West of the mountain spur forming the boundary
line, and in the midst of the coast range, is a basin, in
which is situated Lake County, and that beautiful sheet of
water, some forty miles in length, known as Clear Lake,
the outlet of which is Cache Creek, which appears to have
marvelously cut its way through i^hat high mountain range,
4 THE weste;rn shore gazetteer.
for the purpose of transporting alluvium to fertilize tlie soil
of Yolo. As it lias merged from the mountains in ages
past, it appears to have washed away the hills on either
side, and formed that beautiful and productive district of
country now known as Capay Valley. It appears to have
taken nearly a direct course to empty the waters of Clear
Lake into the Sacramento River; but, ere it reaches its
apparent destination, its waters are spread out upon the
surface of the soil, and are made to disappear by natural
absorption and evaporation. The county for the most
part may be said to be destitute of timber, yet there are
belts of stately oaks along the borders of Cache Creek, on
the banks of the Sacramento River, and on the low hills at
the foot of the mountains, sufficient, with proper economy,
to supply the county with fuel for a long series of years.
The pen would utterly fail to convey an adequate idea of
the native beauty of that district of country, a brief geo-
graphical outline of which we have given, especially to one
whose travels have been confined to the States east of the
Rocky Mountains. Imagination would hardly picture a
country more attractive to the pioneer — a country whose
soil is more productive of agricultural sta23les, whose cli-
mate is more healthful, and whose native growths of vege-
tation are more luxuriant.
Prior to the settlement of this section of country, it is
said that the horseback traveler, whilst sitting upon his
animal, might bend the tops of wild oats over his shoulders,
the roots being still unsevered from the ground. Less than
thirty years ago this country, possessing, if we may use
the expression, such mines of agricultural wealth, was the
abode only of wild beasts. Here the grizzly bear roamed
in his majesty over the plains and upon the mountain side,
undisturbed by the encroachment of man or beast, con-
scious of his superior prowess and of the inability of all
other animals to cope with him, he proclaimed himself
lord of all he surveyed, and neither the native inhabitants
nor brute animals of the country invited him to bend his
course for their convenience. Here the elk, the deer and
the antelope, congregated in droves of hundreds and thou-
sands, grazed uj)on the rich fields of wild oats, or rumina-

ted in tlie sliade of the stately oaks, bathed in the limpid
waters of Cache Creek and of the Sacramento Eiver, undis-
turbed by the crack of the hunter's rifle, and unconscious
of the dangers that awaited them. Here the prowling wolf
came down from his mountain haunts in pursuit of his
prey — the hare, ground-squirrel and^ perhaps, occasionally
a deer or an anteloj)e; here worked the industrious beaver
at the mouths of Cache Creek and Putah Creek and along
the Sacramento River, undisturbed by the trapper and the
hunter. In the district of country we are describing, there
were two solitary camjDS of Indians — the one on Grand
Island, toward the northern boundary of the county, and
the other in a small valley over the first range of hills from
Cache Creek Canon or Capay Valley. These were of the
lowest order of native Americans, indolent and inactive,
and in intelligence but little higher than the brutes; their
food consisted of acorns, pine nuts, manzanita berries, clo-
ver blossoms and grasshoppers, with such small game as
they could kill with their arrows.
II.
From 1841 to 1848.
What boy has not listened with pleasant emotions to tales
of pioneer life as related by his grandfather, his father or
other aged relatives or friends? What child's pulse has
not quickened and eye moistened while listening to stories
of privations and sorrows, toils and hardships, accidents
and dangers, incident to the early settlement, of every coun-
try ? Who, in maturer years, does not delight to dwell upon
those themes with which he has become familiar by the oft-
repeated tales of his sire or grandsire, and especially when
they relate to the early settlement of one's native or
adopted country ?
Even at this early day, doubtless, many items of interest
in the history of this and other counties of the State have
been lost to memory, and without the adoption of some
means of preserving a record of the facts, in a few years
more they would be entirely forgotten, or be known only in
tradition.
6 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Tlie history of a county being inseparably connected
with tliat of the State in which it is located, and with the
lives and experiences of its inhabitants, it will be impracti-
cal, if not impossible, to confine ourselves strictly to insti-
tutions wholly within the limits of the county, or to persons
whose residences have been within its borders. Countries
are usually settled by those whose love of adventure and
attachment to the frontier, more than avarice, prompts them
to press forward into regions uninhabited and compara-
tively unexplored; such was the character and disposition of
the early settlers of Yolo County — the most conspicuous of
whom was Mr. William Gordon, now a resident of Lake
County, to whom we are indebted for many of the facts and
incidents we are about to relate. Mr. Gordon may be con-
sidered the first white settler of the county, who, so to
speak, planted here the germ of civilization, who set ex-
amples of industry and morality worthy of emulation by
any people.
Before referring, however, to particulars regarding his
settlement here, we will relate a tolerably well-authenti-
cated stor}' of one who settled here at a much earlier date :
It is said, when Mr. Gordon and his party reached the bor-
ders of Yolo County, there were at the head of Grand
Island two or three half-breed Indians, who were the de-
scendants of a Scotchman ; that some thirty years prior to
the arrival of the Gordon party, the Scotchman referred to
was a sailor upon an English vessel who landed in the har-
bor of what is now San Francisco; that he, either in fact
or in his imagination, was maltreated by the officers of the
ship, and so determined, rather than endure such usage, to
leave the vessel and cast his destiny alone, in a country
only inhabited by ferocious beasts and the lowest order of
barbarians. Like Eobinson Crusoe, upon the Island of
Juan do Fernandes, he wandered forth in quest of associ-
ates until he reached Grand Island, now a part of Yolo
County, when he fell in with the tribe of Indians before
referred to, took up his abode with them, and, after the In-
dian style of marriage, took to himself a wife, with whom
he lived several years (begat the half-breeds referred to,
who, in 1811, were from twenty-five to thirty years of age),
HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 7
and died witliont ever again visiting tlie sea-shore or being-
able to communicate liis experience and destiny to liis fel-
low-sailors or to liis relatives and friends in the Old World.
Such is the story as we have learned it from one who in-
forms us that the facts were communicated to him by said
half-breed sons of the red-headed Scotchman. This story
is corroborated to a certain extent from the following facts :
In the year 1851, on the west bank of Feather River, a few
miles distant from where these half-breeds resided, a stone
was found of a reddish gray color, about ten inches in length,
four inches in width and one inch thick, on which were en-
graved the following letters and figures : " 1818 — Gold cave,
in this M. Ship — Lodes, L. M." Whether the Scotchman
referred to, in his rambles in that early day, placed the in-
scription there after having discovered lodes of gold, hoping
that at some future day it might be instrumental in making
known his fate to his friends, will doubtless ever remain an
unsolved myster3^ The stone may be seen at any time at
the rooms of the California Pioneer Association at San
Francisco. Taking this circumstance in connection with
the fact that the half-breeds were actually discovered as
above related, we are inclined to the belief that there is
something in the story. If but little truth, there is at least
a good deal of romance. But to return to Mr. Gordon.
He was born in Ohio in the year 1800, while that State was
yet a Territory, and much of it a vast, uninhabited wilder-
ness. In his earliest infancy, being thus accustomed to
frontier life, love of adventure became his ruling passion,
and now, at the age of threescore years and ten, he is never
happier than when with his favorite rifle he is roaming over
the mountains in pursuit of wild game, and but few young
men are able to cope with him in the chase. At an early
age he emigrated to the Territory of Missouri, and before
he was twenty-three years of age he went to New Mexico,
and became a citizen of that country, and though he relig-
iously adhered to her laws and never uttered a disloyal sen-
timent or cherished an unkind thought towards his adopted
government, we shall see that the familiar couplet —
' ' Of all the lands from East to West,
I love my native laud the best,"
8 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Would have been as appropriate a quotation with him as
with others.
For the jDurpose of effecting permanent settlements in
California and perpetuating the dominions of Mexico over
that territory, the Mexican Government had provided,
upon certain prescribed conditions, for making very liberal
grants of land to actual settlers in this country. Amongst
the conditions upon which these lauds were granted we may
note the following: The applicant was required to be a
Mexican . citizen, either native or adopted, or must have
married a Mexican wife (in which case the land was granted
in the name of the wife). He was required to reduce the
land to actual occupancy, either by cultivation or grazing;
must erect a dwelling-house of prescribed value and dimen-
sions on every square league ; must maintain a good reputa-
tion, possess a good moral character, and if he acquired
his land by the means of marrying one of the daughters of
Mexico, he must provide well for his family and suj)ply all
their reasonable wants, if Avithin his power to do so.
Mr. Gordon's love of adventure and the inducements thus
held out by the Mexican Government, prompted him, early
in the spring of 1841, after having secured a grant of two
square leagues of land (three miles in width and six in
length), to invest his limited means in a few head of stock
cattle and some horses and start with a party of men over-
land to California.
In this party were Mr. Gordon, who now resides in Lake
County; Messrs. Workman and lloberts, who now reside at
Los Angeles; Mr. William Knight, who subsequently set*
tied at Knight's Landing, in this county, and died at
Knight's Ferry, on the Stanislaus River, in what is now
Stanislaus County, in 1849 or 1850. There were in the party
four heads of families, the whole consisting of twenty-five
persons, of whose destinies we have not been able to learn,
except of those mentioned above.
Late in the fall of 1841 this little party, after having
traversed a country almost unknown to civilization for many
long and weary months, with nothing to disturb the monot-
ony of their toils, arrived at an old mission opposite San
Diego, where they took up their winter quarters. In the
HISTORY OP YOLO COUNTY. V
spring of 1842 the party separated; Mr. Kniglit returned to
Mexico to procure a wife and a grant of land, and Mr. Gor-
don and his family pushed forward with their stock into
what is now Yolo County.
Before crossing the Sacramento they went to the quar-
ters of Gen. John A. Sutter, who had been located there
about eighteen months, and had completed his fortifica-
tions against the Indians, and who gave Mr. Gordon and his
family a cordial and hospitable welcome. But they did not
remain many days at the fort before they crossed the Sac-
ramento and settled on what is to this day known as the
Gordon Grant, about ten miles west from the present flour-
ishing town of Woodland. Here Mr. Gordon and his
family resided the best part of a year before there were any
other inhabitants of what is now Yolo County.
His time was spent in trapping beaver and dressing their
pelts, hunting other wild game, such as elk, deer and ante-
lope, preparing their hides for market, "jerking" and dry-
ing their flesh, herding his cattle, etc., not slaughtering
any of his domestic animals, but suffering them to increase
as rapidly as their natures and the prolific climate would
admit of. The supplies of his family consisted princi-
pally of wild game, and Mr. Gordon informs us that this
was the happiest year of his life.
When he was on his way from Mexico he first heard of
the conflict of arms in Texas, which resulted in her inde-
pendence and final annexation to the United States, and
was a part of that series of events that brought about the
acquisition of California by the United States and the set-
tlement of Mr. Gordon's immediate neighborhood by peo-
ple from his native land.
It was not the fate of Mr. Gordon long to remain without
neighbors, though they were not located so near him as to
be particularly troublesome. They were as follows: Mr.
Thomas O. Larkin, now a resident of Monterey, in 1842
obtained and settled upon a grant of five leagues of land,
where the town of Colusa now stands, about fifty-five miles
north of his (Gordon's) residence.
The same year Mr. Thoms settled on a "grant at the
mouth of Thoms' Creek, about one hundred miles north of
10 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Colusa, or one hundred and fifty miles from Gordon's; and
soon after Mr. Shards located a grant near Thorns'. The
following year, in 1843, a Mr. ToomLs located at Napa,
about seventy miles, and Mr. Wolfskill on Putah Creek
about twelve miles south, and William Knight about fifteen
miles northeast from Gordon's — the last two being within
the limits of what is now Yolo County, This for years
constituted the neighborhood of the early settlers, but in
1845 Mr. Hardy obtained a grant of eight leagues of land
adjoining Gordon's on the east. But w^e should have men-
tioned that Don Antonio Armijo settled upon a grant at"
Suisun about forty miles south in the year 1841.
At an early day one Berryessa obtained a grant of w^hat
is now known as Berryessa Valley, and his brother located
a grant in what is now Yolo County, and is designated as
the Rancho Canada de Oapay or Capay Valley, which after-
wards was purchased by Messrs. Arnold, Gillig & Ehodes.
A man by the name of McDowell settled M'here Washington
now stands in 1844 or 1845, and established a gunsmith
shop, where he repaired guns for his neighhors until the dis-
covery of gold. He was killed in a drinking saloon in Sac-
ramento in 1849.
We believe we have mentioned the names of all the actual
settlers of the county previous to 1849 (though there were
numbers of adventurers traveling through who temporarily
sojourned with the settlers). Let us turn our attention to
their avocations.
From the date of these first settlements until about the
time of the discovery of gold, money was comparatively
unknown to the stock-men and grantholders. The few
heads of cattle that had been driven here had increased to
herds of thousands. Elk had been slain by thousands, and
their hides, which were worth four dollars each, prepared
for market. Innumerable beavers were also captured,
whose hides in barter were of the value of about six dol-
lars each. The vast herds of cattle were watched and
attended by Indians under a species of peonage, as they
were forced away from their "tribes and compelled to per-
form these services, but received as a compensation about
six dollars per month in whatever articles the employers
iHSTOEY OF YOLO COUNTY. 11
could dispense with. There were no courts in the countr}^,
and none were needed, for there were no crimes committed
and no commercial contracts to be violated. What books the
settlers had brought with them had been read and re-read
until every page was memorized. Very small patches of
corn had been produced and ground in a hand-mill and
prepared for food. Stockmen had imported some thorough-
bred animals as early as 1844, for the purpose of improving
their breeds. Mr. Gordon, in 1844, purchased two Berk-
shire sows and their families, whose increase amounted to
large droves. He gave for the sows two fine horses, and
before the gold discovery he sold from these a large num-
ber of brood sows at one hundred dollars each.
A short time previous to the discovery of gold, these
scattered settlers had commenced a rapid accumulation of
money. Their families were well clothed and well fed;
their Indian serfs lived in luxury. No bar-room broils and
gambling bickerings were known; no jails and penitentia-
ries were required; no public hospital in which the poor
were cared for, because there were no poor to be thus sup-
ported; there were no disputes about landmarks and no
neighborhood babblings. Peace and quiet reigned supreme.
Why should not the people hai^e been happy ?
The reader may pause to imagine from what source these
settlers had derived their surplus money — where was the
market for the thousands of cattle, elk and beaver hides, we
hav-e mentioned? Whence came the thoroughbred cattle
and swine ? How were the clothing and provisions obtained
that families possessed in such abundance ? We answer,
hide-dealers or traders came regularly with their trading
ships to San Francisco (where there were but two or three
adobe houses in 1841); thence they would send out their
ships' launches with cargoes up the streams and sloughs
and exchange them for the produce of the country, such as
hides, furs, tallow and dried meat, and occasionally some
live stock.
About the time these traders were expected (and they
came very regularly), the slaughter of the herds began;
hides . were cured, tallow rendered and the meat dried.
Then rude trucks 9y carts were loaded with the products
12 ■ THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
and drawn by oxen to tlie rivers or sloughs, where the
ships' launches could reach them, and there exchanges were
eJBfected. The nominal prices of the exports that they there
obtained were about as follows: Cattle hides, two dollars;
elk hides, four dollars; beaver hides, six dollars; dried
meats and tallow, ten cents per pound. For these the set-
tlers received in exchange clothing of any desired quality,
flour, rice, tobacco, sugar, tea, coffee, salt, spices, dried
fruits, and, in short, everything in the line of clothing or
provisions that their necessities required.
After a few years the settlers were able to export more
than enough to pay for their required imports, and the bal-
ance they received in cash, and thus before the mines were
discovered had commenced accumulating actual cash.
We will here relate a few disconnected incidents, and
then pass on to a later period in our history. . In March,
1847, a man by the name of Joseph Buzzle started in a
canoe from Sutter's Fort, in Sacramento County, paddled
his canoe across the Sacramento Biver, across the country
in the County of Yolo, and to the very door of Mr. Gor-
don's dwelling, ten miles west of Woodland — an incident
destitute of interest to persons unacquainted with the coun-
try, but of astounding interest to many of the present set-
tlers.
In June, 1846, the owners of the Eancho Canada de
Capay had not yet asserted their rights thereto, and those
few persons who were temporarily stopping in what is ^ow
Yolo County, had no knowledge of the claim. Mr. W. L.
Todd, now a resident of the county, a AVilliam W. Rou-
lette, with his wife, one G. J. Scott and his brother, W.
W. Scott, built a cabin on that grant. We have said that
Don Antonio Armijo Avas a grautholder at Suisun; he had
produced a few acres of wheat, and as he had no means
of harvesting it, except by cutting it by hand with knives,
he with a few men went to the cabin above referred to,
stopped for the night, got Todd and Scott to reinforce his
party — in all consisting of thirteen persons — and went to
Grand Island to capture some Indians to harvest his wheat.
When this object was accomplished, on their return they
stopped at Mr. Gordon's residence. At this time the war
HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 13
was raging between the United States and Mexico, but not
a blow had yet been struck in California.
General Vallejo was in command of a company of five
Mexican soldiers at Sonoma. When Don Armijo arrived at
Gordon's with his party, some of them were informed by
him (Gordon) that Captain Merritt had started from the
"Buttes," and on the following day would take Sonoma;
but the rumor Avas withheld from Armijo, on account of his
being a native-born Mexican citizen. The little parf^ then
went and joined Merritt at Sonoma; this was the first town
captured from the Mexicans in California.
In the capture of the place General M. C. Vallejo (sub-
sequently a delegate to the State Constitutional Convention
and member of the first Legislature of California), Captain
Don Salvador Vallejo, Colonel Victor Pruden, Don Jacob
P. Leese and Don Julio Carrello, were taken prisoners of
war and sent to Sutter's Fort. On the fourteenth of June,
1846, this little handful of men proclaimed California a free
and independent republic, and on that day hoisted their
flag, known as the ' ' bear flag " ; this consisted of a strip of
worn-out cotton domestic, furnished by Mrs. Kelley, bor-
dered with red flannel, furnished by Mrs. John Sears, who
had fled from some distant part to Sonoma for safety, upon
hearing of the war that had been thus commenced. In the
center of the flag was a representation of a bear, en j^cissant,
painted with Venetian red, and in one corner was painted a
star of the same color. Under the bear were inscribed the
words " Ptepublic of California," put on with common writ-
ing ink. This flag is preserved by the California Pioneer
Association, and may be seen at their rooms in San Fran-
cisco. It was designed and executed by W. L. Todd.
Subsequently, the American flag was substituted for the
" Bear flag," William B. Ide was left in command of a lit-
tle garrison to guard Sonoma, and most of the company went
and joined Fremont, and with him went on to Lower Cal-
ifornia.
When, subsequently, the treaty of peace was made, where-
by California was ceded to the United States, all the grant-
holders acquiesced, and many, doubtless, inwardly rejoiced,
but no outward demonstrations of joy were discoverable,
14 THE "WESTEKN SHORE G.iZETTEER.
and quiet was maintained amongst the people, out of re-
spect to tlieir neighbors of Mexican birth.
When John C. Fremont was occupying California, about
the year 1847, and Commodore Stockton was in the Terri-
tory, one M. M. Wambough was paymaster, or otherwise
had possession of Stockton's money, he professed to have
been assailed, overcome and robbed, by a croAvd of bandits.
The money was gone, but Wambough returned, his hat hav-
ing been pierced by many bullets. Subsequently, and after
the organization of the State Government, application was
made to the Legislature for relief, and the hat was brought
before that bod}' in proof of the robbery. It is said that
the relief bill was about to pass, when the late David C.
JBroderick rose in his seat and holding the hat in his hand
exclaimed: " Had it not been for a miraculous intervention
of Providence, the assailed must necessarily have lost his
life" — pointing to a hole on one side of the hat and then
upon the other side — "the bullet which entered here, passed
there through the crown of the hat near the band, and, had
not Providence caused the missile to curve over the top of
his head, it must necessarily have passed through the cen-
ter of the brain." The bill did not pass, and it Avas subse-
quently shown that, soon after the supposed robbery,
Wambough had passed through Yolo and stayed over night
with Mr. Gordon, and had attempted to exchange a large
amount of silver for gold, rendering probable that the al-
leged robbery was but a sham. We have not examined the
legislati>-e journals to ascertain whether any record of the
affair has been preserved, and do not know to what extent
this account may be relied on. We have related it as we
received it.
III.
From 1848 to 1870.
On the nineteenth day of Januarj^ 1848, John A. Sutter
and his partner, James W. Marshall, Avere engaged in the
construction of a saw -mill, on the south fork of the Ameri-
can Ptiver, at a place now called Coloma, in El Dorado
County, about forty-five miles eastward from where the
HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 15
City of Sacramento now stands. On tliat day Mr. Marshall,
wlio yet resides at Coloma, was engaged in removing ob-
structions from the mill-race, when he made the first dis-
covery of gold in California of which we have any account.
There was no mistaking the character of the mineral dis-
covered.
Mr, Marshall knew it to be gold. He very correctly
judged that if the fact were revealed to his employees, that
all other business would be abandoned for the pursuit of
gold. He attempted to keep the discovery a secret, for a
time, but it was found in too great abundance — the secret
could not be kept. The intelligence was soon conveyed to
the scattered inhabitants of the Territory of California, and
then the gold excitement had fairly commenced. It is hardly
probable that Mr. Marshall, on the morning of the nine-
teenth of January, 1848, had ever imagined that he, on that
day, was to be made the instrument that should revolution-
ize the commercial world; that he should make a discovery
that would be the direct cause of uniting the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans with bands of iron; that should, in time,
be a commercial highway for all parts of the earth, popu-
late three-fourths of the Continent, open a commerce with
the Continent of Asia, with South America and the Islands
of the Pacific, unprecedented with them; that should send
to the American shores men of every clime, whose national
characters and love of home, under any other imaginable
circumstances, would have impelled them to remain in their
native lands. But such was the fact.
News of the wonderful discovery was carried, as if by
magic, to all parts of the civilized world, and became the
topic of conversation in every family and social circle, and
the theme of speculation amongst capitalists and commer-
cial men.
The inhabitants of Yolo, from twenty-five to thirty in
number, all went in search of gold, and these rich agricul-
tural regions were depopulated. Discoveries followed each
other in quick succession, until the vast fields of placer gold
mines were developed. Merchants and speculators saw
that the nearest points to the gold mines upon navigable
streams would inevitably be the sites of future towns and
16 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
cities, or, in otlier words, that the heads of navigation were
the most feasible localities for furnishing supplies to the
mining communities.
For the supply of the rich placers on the American and
its branches, the point where Sacramento City was located
was the most accessible. In the same year the rich placers
on Feather and Yuba rivers were developed, and fortunate
indeed would be the man who should discover and secure
tlie town site, most accessible to those mines, that could at
the same time be reached by vessels of fair tonnage. At
this time, as we have remarked, the few settlers of what is
now Yolo County, had left for the mines. At a point on
the Sacramento Eiver, where the Feather Kiver empties into
that stream, was the head of navigation. Here the Feather
Biver was fordable.
This was the nearest point to the mines of Feather Eiver
and the Yuba that could be reached by vessels of sufficient
size to supply their wants. Here, on the Yolo side of the
Sacramento, the land was high, and furnished an inviting
locality for a town. As this place, which is now called
Fremont, occupies a conspicuous place in the history of
Yolo County, we shall speak of its settlement, of its pro-
gress and final fall, with such incidents as are immediately
connected therewith, without attempting, in the same con-
nection, to keep in view other contemporaneous occur-
rences of the county.
1849.
About the first of March, 1849, Mr. Jonas Spect freighted
a small schooner with merchandise at San Francisco, and
sailed for the head of navigation on the Sacramento, for
the purpose of establishing a trading post, from which the
mining communities on the head waters of that stream and
on Feather and Yuba rivers and their tributaries, might
obtain their supplies. He found that point on the Sacra-
mento Eiver, at the mouth of Feather Eiver, and named
the place Fremont. It was not without difliculty that this
point was reached. He was about twenty days sailing from
San Francisco to Sacramento. On the twentieth of that
month, having arrived at the latter place, he started over-
HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 17
land, in advance of his vessel, and on tlie twenty-first ar-
rived at the point we have mentioned. On the next day
the schooner arrived. The day following he, with his men>
built his business stand, composed partly of willows and
in part of canvas brought for that purpose, in w^hich his
goods, wares and merchandise, were placed. And he, then
the only inhabitant of Yolo County there, on the twenty-
fifth day of March, 1849, in the tabernacle thus constructed,
commenced the joint business of merchandising and hotel
keeping. This trading post and hotel soon attracted not
only the attention of the mining communities referred to,
but of capitalists and speculators.
There was every prospect of the town becoming a city
second to none in importance in the interior ^of the embryo
State of California. Before another building had been
erected the place was visited by Samuel Brannan, "William
McD. Howard, Lieutenant Maynard, and hosts of others,
who afterwards became notable Califomians. It was confi-
dently believed that Fremont would ever remain the head
of navigation on the Sacramento Elver, and that Feather
Eiver w^ould ever become navigable, was not dreamed of.
Although the town-site was embraced within the " Harbin
Grant/' such estimate was placed upon the rights of Mr.
Spect and Mr. T. B. Winston (the latter having become as-
sociated with the former), that William McD. Howard, as
agent for the firm of Melius, Howard & Co., visited Fre-
mont and offered them one hundred and fifty thousand dol-
lars in gold for their town-site privileges. . Prior to the
settlement of the town by Mr. Spect, a camp of Indians
had located there, and the crossing of the Sacramento
Eiver was effected by the use of a skiff and some canoes.
Wagons were crossed by placing an Indian canoe under
each wheel, and then paddled across by the Indians. Feather
Eiver was then fordable at its mouth; teamsters and packers
could take their supplies thence on either side to the mines.
The first material augmentation of population was by an
emigration from Oregon, headed by a Mr. John E. Bradley,
now a resident of Santa Clara, a Cumberland Presbyterian
preacher, who preached to the new settlement regTilarly for
several weeks. Families came across the plains and located

there. In July, 18-19, a corps of civil engineers arrived
from tlie State of Louisana, amongst whom was William J.
Frieson, a native of South Carolina, now a resident and
flourishing farmer of this county, residing near Knight's
Landing. During this season large immigrations arrived
from the Atlantic States; Fremont continued to grow in
importance; mercantile houses were becoming plentiful;
drinking saloons were established; gambling houses were
abundant; and, though there were no courts, no Territorial,
State or County, organizations, the legal profession had its
representative there, who advertised to attend to the duties
of his profession — C. P. Hester, Esq. — who since has been
Judge of the District Court of the Third Judicial District.
Dr. K. W. Murphy, now of Sacramento City, was the first
to commence the practice of medicine.
Early in the spring of 1849, Miss Matilda McCord, of Bloom-
ington, Indiana, opened the first school. The first regu-
lar church was established by Rev. Isaac Owen, a missionary
preacher from Indiana. On the twenty-second of February,
1819, the Avhaling ship William Henry sailed from New
Bedford, Massachusetts, having on board two buildings
and a cargo of goods belonging to a company of thirty men.
In September, 1849, they arrived in San Francisco. Apart
of the company, with a supply of the goods and one of the
buildings, Avere sent to Fremont; they purchased a town
lot for one thousand dollars and erected the building, and
commenced business. C. H. Gray (for several years Sheriff
of the county) and H. B. Wood, now partners in the hard-
ware business in Woodland, were members of this company.
Six of the company died with the cholera in 1850, at Beni-
cia. All trace of the remainder of them is lost.
About this time a ship arrived at Fremont from Bangor,
Maine, having on board the steamer Governor Dana and a
largo cargo of goods. The company erected an extensive
mercantile house, and placed it under the supervision of the
late Henry Hare Hartley, subsequently County Judge, and
at a later day a candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court.
In October, 1849, a company of Government troops, with
a supply train, passed through the place on their way to
Benicia. One of the soldiers entered a gambling saloon,
HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 19
became intoxicated and somewhat abusiye, and was killed
by a gambler. This was the first homicide committed in
Yolo, County. The gambler was not arrested, and no par-
ticular excitement arose from the transaction.
The town of Fremont now contained a population esti-
mated by some as high as three thousand, though this is
probably an over-estimate. Among those who were resi-
dents there, and who have since become generally known
throughout the State, may be mentioned the late Humphrey
Griffith; the late H. H Hartley, already mentioned; Charles
F. Eeed, late candidate for Surveyor-General, and I. N.
Hoag, Esq., long Secretary of the State Agricultural Soci-
ety. It will be remembered that, up to the time referred
to, there was no State Government, and, of course, no
county organization.
After the treaty with Mexico, by which this State was
ceded to the United States, the Commanding General of the
Department — Brigadier-'General Eiley — in accordance with
instructions from the Secretary of War, by authority of the
President of the United States, became the Governor of
the State, for the purpose of administering its civjl affairs.
It is an established principle that, when territory is acquired
by a foreign power, the laws of the Government from which
it is acquired remain in force until other la'i^ are enacted
by the Government acquiring such territory; hence the laws
of Mexico w^ere those in force in this country until the ma-
chinery of our own civil jurisprudence should be put in
operation. Under the laws referred to the State was di-
vided into ten districts, one of which was denominated the
Sonoma District, and embraced all that part of the State
bounded by the sea', the Bay of San Francisco and Suisun,
the Sacramento Biver and Oregon, and, of course, included
Yolo County,
The principal officers in each of these districts were a
Prefect and sub-Prefects, who were charged with the preser-
vation of public order and the execution of the laws. Their
duties, to some extent, corresponded with the duties of
Sheriffs and Marshals, a Judge of the First Instance and a
District Alcalde. This system of government could not
long remain in a land then being rapidly populated with
20 THE WTilSTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
American citizens. On the third of June, 1849, General
Eiley issued a proclamation calling a Convention, to meet
at Monterey on the first day of September, to frame a State
Constitution. By that proclamation it was provided that
the Convention should consist of thirty-seven delegates, four
of whom should be chosen from the Sonoma District. Elec-
tions were to be held for that purpose on the first day of
August, at sixteen designated places in the State, as fol-
lows: San Diego, San Juan Capistrano, Los Angeles, San
Fernando, San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara, Nepoma, San
Luis Obispo, Monterey, San Juan Baptiste, Santa Cruz,
San Jos6 de Guadalupe, San Francisco, San Rafael, Bodega,
Sonoma and Benicia.
The elections were held, and the Convention met in pur-
suance of the proclamation, and completed its labors on
the thirteenth of October. The delegates in that Conven-
tion, from the Sonoma District, were J. Walker, R. Semple,
L. W. Boggs and M. G. Vallejo.
Immediately thereafter, by proclamation of Governor
Eiley, an election was called for the fifteenth of November,
to vote upon the adoption of the Constitution and the elec-
tion of officers, in pursuance of its provisions. This proc-
lamation designated as the places for holding said election
the same as those mentioned for the election of delegates
to the Constitutional Convention ; but the fast young town
of Fremont was not content to have the election pass with-
out letting its voice be heard. Accordingly, on election
morning, the polls were opened at that place, and there
were nearly twice as many votes cast as in all the rest of
the Sonoma District; but the votes were not finally esti-
mated. The members of the Legislature then elected con-
vened on the fifteenth day of December, 1849, and then
organized the first Legislature of the State of California.
At this session of the Legislature, the Sonoma " District
was represented in the Assembly by J. E. Brackett and J.
S. Bradford, and in the Senate, we believe, by Jonas Spect
and M. G. Vallejo; but, upon this point, we do not speak
with certainty, having no documents at hand from which
we can satisfactorily determine the facts.
At this session of the Legislature, Yolo County was given
HISTORY OP YOLO COUNTY. 21
an existence and a name. And liere we may observe to the
curions that " Yolo" and " Tulare" have the same origin,
and are identical in meaning. Members of the first Legis-
lature probably knew but little about Yolo County, except
that portion bordering on the river, abounding in "tules,"
expressed by the Spanish word " tulare " or " tular " — this
word the Indians had corrupted to "yolar." Accordingly,
when the county was organized by an Act of the Legisla-
ture, passed February 18th, 1850, it was organized under
the name of " Yolii " (statutes of 1850, page 61), but we
have not learned how it happened afterwards to be written '
Yolo.
By the Act organizing the County of " Yolii," the county
seat was established at Fremont. The legislative Acts of
the first session, having direct efi'ect upon Yolo County,
were as follows : By Act of March 16th, dividing the State
into Judicial Districts, it provided that the Eighth District
should be composed of the counties of Yolo, Sutter and
Yuba. The first term of this court for Yolo County was
held at Fremont, on the second day of September, 1850,
W. R. Turner, District Judge. The first case upon the
calendar is an indictment against Emma Place. The Dis-
trict Attorney stated that the witnesses could not be found,
and the court, upon its own motion, ordered the case dis-
missed. The -first case upon the civil docket was Austin &
Johnson against Conwillard and others. The last term of
the District Court held in this county by Judge Turner was
on the second day of October, 1850, for the reason that the
State was soon after re-districted, as we shall presently see.
By an Act passed April 4th, 1850, dividing the State into
Senatorial Districts, it was provided that the Eleventh Dis-
trict should be composed of Yolo, Marin, Sonoma, Napa,
Solano, Mendocino, Colusa and Trinity, and should elect
one Senator, and that Yolo, Colusa and Trinity combined,
should elect one member of Assembly.
By an Act of March 2d, 1850, it was provided that an
election should be held on the first Monday of April in
each of the counties of the State, for the purpose of elect-
ing county officers. Of this election the county records
afford us no information; but, from court records of that
22 THE WESTERN SHOEE GAZETTEER.
year, we learn that Judge G. A. Marguam, now of Port-
land, Oregon, was elected County Judge, and B. Frank
Brown, County Clerk.
The Legislature then in session passed an Act, April 13th,
1850, establishing the County Courts; provided that the
terms of said courts should be held in the months of Jan-
uary, April, July and October; also providing for the es-
tablishment of Courts of Sessions in each county, composed
of the County Judge and two Justices of the Peace, which
courts should hold their terms on the first Mondays of Feb-
ruary, April, June, August, October and December, of each
year. Accordingly, on the first Monday of June, the Court
of Sessions met in the town of Fremont, for the transaction
of business. There was nothing, however, of importance
came before the court at that session. Henry H. Hartley
was admitted to the bar as Attorney and Counselor at Law;
P. A. Marguam was the Judge of the court; Ferdinand
Woodward and Levi B. Austin, Associate Justices, and B.
Frank Brown, County Clerk. The court met again in
August, the same officers being present.
Let it be born in mind that the Judge of the Court of
Sessions was also the County Judge. At this August term
the Court of Sessions fixed the salary of the County Judge
at four thousand dollars per annum ; granted a ferry license,
and a license to H. H. Hartley to act as auctioneer in Yolo
County, and adjourned. This court met again in Novem-
ber, the last term for 1850, and appointed G. M. Keene as
County Treasurer, who was the first Treasurer, of the coun-
t}^ so far as we have been able to learn. The County Court
met in July, 1850, Marguam being present as Judge and
B. F. Brown as Clerk. The calendar was called, consisting
of two cases, one of which was tried and the other dis-
missed. The court met again in October, but, having no
busines before it, adjourned. This constituted all the busi-
ness of the County Court for the year 1850.
A law was passed on the sixteenth of April, 1850, as fol-
lows : ' ' Every person who shall feloniously steal, take and
carry, lead or drive away, the personal goods or property of
another, of the value of fifty dollars or more, shall be
deemed guilty of gi-and larceny, and, upon conviction there-
HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 23
of, shall be punislied by imprisonment in the State Prison
for any term not less than one year nor more than ten years,
or by death, in the discretion of the jury." A somewhat
startling story is told of a conviction, under the provisions
of this law, in Yolo County. It is said (though not re-
corded) that John C. Murphy, late Judge of Mono County,
then a resident of Yolo, was driving a mule-team in the
winter following, and got " stalled " in the mud. He chanced
to be near a corral of horses running loose, two of which
he caught, harnessed and attached to his team, to assist him
out of the difficulty. The horses chanced to be the prop-
erty of a Justice of the Peace, who arrived in time to catch
Murphy ' ' in the very act. " He immediately issued a war-
rant and placed it in the hands of a Constable for Murphy's
arrest. The prisoner was brought into court and demanded
a jury trial; but the " court" decided that the province of
the jury was only to determine the guilt or innocence of the
party, and of the court to pronounce the sentence ; and, in
this instance, the " court" knew of his own knowledge that
tlie prisoner was guilty, therefore a jury was unnecessary.
The "court " then ordered the Constable to take the pris-
oner to some convenient place and execute him without
delay. As the sentence was about to be carried into effect,
Mr. A. McDonald, subsequently a prominent man in the
county, arrived at the scene of action, and prevented the
execution. Whether this story is all true, or founded in
fact, or all false, we have no knowledge; we give it as it
was given to us by one of Murphy's personal friends, who
professed to give us a true version of the affair.
Let us now turn our attention to the commercial and busi-
ness aspects of the county. The heavy floods of the pre-
vious winter had washed the bar from the mouth of Feather
River, and made that stream navigable to the point where
the City of Marysville is now located, and opened up navi-
gation of the Sacramento for more than a hundred miles
above. This demonstrated the fact that Fremont could not
become a great inland commercial metropolis. Mining
communities immediately discontinued obtaining their sup-
plies from this j)lace, and the town commenced to decline.
Still, hopes were entertained that the place might continue
24 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
of considerable importance for retail business, but eacli
day weakened those liopes, and it soon became apparent
tliat Fremont was doomed unless it should remain the county
seat.
In the meantime, quite a settlement had been made at
"Washington, and the interior of the county for gi-azing and
stock-raising began to attract some attention. Yet the pop-
ulation of the count}^, by the removals from Fremont, was
materially diminished in numbers, so tliat, in the fall of
1850, a correspondent of a New York paper had ranked
Yolo County amongst the barren, worthless sections of the
State, it being then believed that no considerable portion
of the State could be made available for agricultural pur-
poses.
1851.
The Legislature again convened, on the first Monday of
January, 1851. The Eleventh Senatorial District, consist-
ing of the counties of Yolo, Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano,
Mendocino, Colusa and Trinity, was represented in the Sen-
ate by Martin E. Cooke, and the counties of Yolo, Colusa
and Trinity, constituting one Assembly District, was repre-
sented in that body by George W. Crane. An election was
held in Yolo County on the twenty-fifth day of March, 1851,
at which a re-location of the county seat was to be deter-
mined, by a vote of the qualified electors under the pro-
visions of an Act of the previous session. The result of
the election showed a majority in favor of establishing the
county scat at Washington.
Four weeks subsequent to the election, an Act was passed
in which it was declared that Fremont should be the county
seat. On the eleventh of March, the Judicial Districts, by
legislative action, were re-arranged. By this Act it was
provided that the counties of Yolo, Placer and El Dorado,
should constitute the Eleventh Judicial District. By an
Act, passed May 1st, it was provided that the counties of
Yolo and Colusa should constitute the Twenty-first Senato-
rial District, and should elect one Senator and each one
member of the Assembly.
On the twenty-fourth of March, 1851, G. M. Keene hav-
ing resigned the office of County Treasurer, H. H. Hartley
HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 25
was appointed by the Court of Sessions to fill the vacancy,
and Humphrey Griffith, Esq., was appointed County Assess-
or. By an Act of the Legislature, passed March 23d, 1850,
it was provided that : ' ' Whenever a special election is nec-
essary to fill a vacancy in any county or township office, the
County Judge shall issue an order for such election, desig-
nating the office to be filled and the time of holding the
election, and shall publish the same in the manner required
by the sixth section of this Act." Those who had held the
county offices in this county, in the spring of 1851, all ap-
peared to have left or resigned; and, since it is certain that
no general election was then held in the State, we may per-
haps safely presume that a special election was held under
that statute; for, early in that season, we find E. A. Harris
officiating as Sheriff; G. M. Keene, the former Treasurer,
as District Attorney, and H. H. Hartley as County Judge.
On the twenty-second of May, 1851, the Court of Sessions
being open, made an order as follows: "It is ordered by
the court that the Seat of Justice of this county shall be at
Fremont — the Legislature of the State of California having,
on the twenty-fifth of April, 1851, passed a law to that
effect, which law, having been passed subsequent to the
election held on the twenty-fifth of March, 1851, for the re-
moval of the county seat of said county, annuls said elec-
tion."
Notwithstanding this order, for some cause there was
never another term of court held at Fremont after July of
that year. And the first session of that court was held at
Washington, on the eleventh of August following. Hum-
phrey Griffith was appointed County Clerk by the Court of
Sessions, in July, 1851, and continued to hold "that position
until December, 1853, having been elected at the expiration
of the unexpired term.
■ During this year permanent settlement began to be made
on the farming lands of the county, with a view of raising
stock, but no attention was yet given to the cultivation of
the soil. The first settlement of note w^as that made by A.
H. Willard, on a portion of the Gordon Grant. Settlements
were also made at Knight's Landing and at other places,
and much attention began to be given to the production of
26 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
cattle. Tlie town of Fremont went down. Some of the
buildings were moved to Knight's Landing, some to Marys-
ville, some to Sacramento, and some onto the plains. The
inhabitf^nts abandoned their city lots and dispersed, and
nothing remained of the town of Fremont but the name.
1852.
In the Legislature that convened in January, 1852, Yolo
County was represented in the Assembly by John G. Parish,
in the Senate by Martin E. Cooke. The counties of Yolo
and Colusa constituted one Senatorial District.
It was in 1852 that H. H. Hartley was elected County
Judge; H. Griffith, County Clerk; E. A. Harris, Sheriff,
and Alexander Chisholm, Treasurer. John M. Howell was
elected District Judge for the Eleventh Judicial District,
composed of the counties of Yolo, Placer and El Dorado.
But, of course, the latter did not enter upon the duties of
his office until the commencement of the following year.
There was nothing occurred during the year in the gov-
ernmental affairs of the county requiring special attention.
The agricultural lands continued to be settled, and yet but
little attention was paid to the production of cereals. The
settlements were materially retarded, in consequence of the
extensive Spanish grants — some real and some fictitious —
that covered a large portion of the lands of the county that
were valuable, either for grazing or cultivation. These led
to troublesome and expensive litigations, and were the
source of constant turmoils and troubles.
Those who had settled here previous to the discovery of
gold in the county, had encouraged an increase of their
herds, and the plains were literally covered with cattle.
Many new-comers had settled here, and it is said to have
been remarkable with what rapidity their herds increased.
A story is told of one settler, for the strict truthfulness of
which we are not entirely willing to vouch; but it is said
that, when he settled, he had barely means to purchase a
single ox; that he had no visible means of support except
from the increase of his stock; but so incredibly prolific
was the animal that, in a little more than one year, the in-
HISTOKY or YOLO COUNTY. 27
crease amounted to several hundred head of yearlings and
calves.
A man by the name of James had settled near the foot-
hills, whose stock increased so rapidly that other stock-
growers became so incensed against him, that they arrested
him and brought him to trial before Judge Ljmch. He was
found guilty, as charged, and sentenced to receive fifty
lashes of a cowhide on his bare back, and to banishment
from the county; he received the lashes and left the country,
and has not been heard from since !
Our history would not be complete if we failed to notice
transactions in courts of Justices of the Peace as well as in
courts of more general jurisdiction; but, as Justice's courts
are not deemed, in law, courts of record, the only means of
knowledge of their transactions is hearsay, and such evi-
dence, if admissible, not being sufficient to convict, we give
it to the reader for what it is vrorth. A Justice of the
Peace, of good standing in the county, at the time of w^hich
we are writing, had a case before him in which the title to a
certain mule was involved. The Justice very dignifiedly
informed the plaintiff if he would swear the mule was his,
it should be so adjudged and taken from the defendant and
delivered to him. " Well," said the plaintiff, "I will swear
that it is my mule." "When you swear to the mule," said
the Justice, '^it shall be delivered to you." " I am ready
nolo to swear to its being my mule." "When you do so
swear," said the Justice, "you shall take the mule." " I be
damned if it- ain't my mule," said the plaintiff, "and by G — d
I am going to have him." The court considered the
evidence sufficient, and adjudged accordingly.
1853.
In the Legislature that convened in January, 1853, Yolo
Count}^ was represented in the Assembly by Mr. Caldwell,
and in the Senate the District of Yolo and Colusa was rep-
resented by M. M. Wambough. At the commencement of
the year J. M. Howard entered upon the duties of his office
as Judge of the District Court.
During the session of the Legislature, May 18th, 1853,
28 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
an Act was passed re-districting the State, in which it was
provided that Yolo, Sohxno and Napa, shoukl constitute the
Tenth Senatorial District. The county officers remained
the same as the year before; but at the election held in
September, Harrison Gwinn, now a flourishing farmer re-
siding near Knight's Landing, was elected County Judge to
succeed Judge Hartley, E. H. Baskett was elected as Clerk
to succeed H. Griffith, and J. TV". Gish was elected Sheriff,
and H. Meredith District Attorney; all of whom com-
menced their official duties the March following.
During this year the settlement of the county was more
rapid than formerly, and some attention began to be given
to the cultivation of the soil, the planting of some small
vineyards and orchards, and the fencing of farms. The
soil was found to be of almost unequaled fertility, but from
the scarcity of fencing material and high prices of lumber,
and the fact of the county being overrun with herds of
cattle and hogs, the production of grain was not deemed a
very lucrative avocation, especially when the expense of
improvements were taken into consideration.
1854.
In the Legislature that convened in January, 1854, the
county was represented in the Assembly by Humphrey
Griffith, whose term as County Clerk had just expired, and
the Tenth Senatorial District, composed of the counties of
Yolo, Solano and Napa, was represented in the Senate by
Senate by E. McGarry.
On the sixth of February of this year. Judge Hartley held
his last term of court as County Judge of this county. It
wi^s ascertained that Alexander Chisholm, former Treas-
urer, was defaulter in a large sum of money, and on the
twelfth of August the Grand Jury of the county presented
a bill against him for fraudulently retaining the money;
but the funds were never recovered, and Chisholm was not
convicted of any offense. His bonds were declared for-
feited.
1855.
In the Legislature of 1855, Yolo County was represented
in the Assembly by J. H. Updergraff, and Mr. E. McGarry
HISTORY OF YOLO COUI^TY. 29
continued to represent tlie counties of Yolo, Napa and
Solano, in the Senate.
The county officers remained the same as the previous
year; but at the general election in September, A. McDon-
ald was elected County Clerk; George Bell, Sheriif; W. N.
Brooks, Treasurer, and F. "Woodward District Attorney.
The Legislature passed an Act, May 7th, 1855, authoriz-
ing the qualified voters of the county, at the general elec-
tion to be held in September, to determine by a majority
vote upon some point as a permanent place for the county
seat. The contest was chiefly between Washington and
Knight's Landing. It was a close and excited election, but
the result was in favor of Washington,
During this year the agTicultural interests of the county
were greatly increased, and wheat and barley commenced
to be raised in considerable quantities as staples, but the
scarcity of timber for fencing rendered it difficult and ex-
pensive to protect the growing crops against the encroach-
ments of the herds of cattle and hogs running at large
through the country and prevented very extensive grain-
growing operations. People began to conceive that there
was a conflict of interest between the grain producers and
cattle growers; and the still unsettled condition of the
grant-lands rendered titles through the county uncertain,
and it, of course, was not settled so rapidly as it otherwise
would have been.
1856.
In the Legislature that met in 1856, Yolo County was
represented in the Assembly by E. Bynum, the present
County Clerk, and in the Senate by his brother, S. Bynum.
E. Bynum was elected on what was known as the Demo-
cratic ticket, and S. Bynum on the ticket designated as the
Know-No thing or Native American. The contest for one
or two years between those two political organizations had
been very close, but the latter in the ascendancy. E. By-
num was the only candidate elected on his ticket. The
county officers chosen at the general election in 1855, at
the proper time assumed their official duties; but during
the year the sureties upon the Sheriff's bond became dis-
30 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
satisfied witli the manner in wliicli he performed, or
neglected to perform, his duties, took steps to withdraw
their signatures from the bond, and Sheriff Bell being
unable to obtain new sureties, the office became vacant, and
F. G. Eussel, now of Buckeye, was appointed to fill the
vacancy, which position he held until the expiration of the
term.
On the first of March the Legislature passed an Act as
follows: "John Vanarnam, of Washington, Yolo County, is
hereby released from any and all liabilities incurred by
him as surety on the official bond of Alexander Chisholm,
late County Treasurer of Yolo County, and is hereby fully
discharged from any and all judgments recovered against
him upon said official bond.
It was a rule of the District Court in this county, up to
this time, to set days for hearing and determining motions
and demurrers, and on those days the roll of attorneys was
called at the opening of the court. It may not be uninter-
esting to those who were in the habit of attending the
courts at that time, and to attorneys at the present time,
to give here a roll, as it was called in 1866, as follows:
P. L. Edwards, W. R. Cantwell, H. H. Hartley, H. Grif-
fith, Henry C. Meredith, Horace Smith, Samuel Euland,
James C. Goods, Ferdinand "Woodward, William S. Long,
John Heard, W. C. Wallace, B. F. Ankeny, George H. H.
Carter, G. W. Bowie, J. H. Gass, J. G. Hyer. Of these,
P. L. Edwards, H. H. Hartley, H. Griffith, Henry C.
Meredith, Horace Smith, George H. Carter, B.' F. Ankeny
and John G. Hyer, are now deceased. W. B. Cantwell,
J. C. Goods, F. Woodward and John Heard, now reside in
Sacramento; Bowie resides in San Francisco; Wallace is
Judge of the Seventh Judicial District; Buland resides in
Woodland; Gass broke Sacramento jail and left for parts
unknown — further particulars of which may be mentioned
if we ever have occasion to compile a history of Sacramento
County.
1857.
In the year 1857 Yolo was represented in the Assembly
by Dr. J. S. Curtis, and by S. Bynum in the Senate.
HISTORY OP YOLO COUNTY. 31
Some years previous to tliis, James A. Hutton, a worthy
and enterprising citizen, had settled on the north side of
Cache Creek and there made himself a comfortable home;
had erected a dwelling-house large enough to accommodate
guests, and it soon became not only the home of Mr.
Hutton and his family, but the " traveler's home," and was
designated through the county as " Hutton's Kanch." A
post-office was established by the name of Yolo Post-office.
The Legislature passed an Act, on the tM^nty-fifth of
March, providing that from and after the first day of June^
1857, the county seat of the County of Yolo should be and
thereby was changed from the Town of Washington to a
place on Cache Creek before that time known as Hutton's,
but which should be thereafter known as Cache ville. In
May the books, papers, maps, records, etc., belonging to
the county were transferred to the new county seat. It
was in the midst of the richest agricultural lands in the
State, pleasantly situated on Cache Creek, interspersed
with oaks of the largest growth, and was really one of the
most attractive places in the county. A town was laid ofi",
surveyed into lots and blocks which were rapidly disposed
of, and the town exhibited signs of permanent prosj)erity.
This ever should have remained -the county seat; but we
shall see that such was not its destiny.
The first birth that occurred at Cacheville was the Yolo
Democrat, a small, weakly — weekly — journal, that was born
almost to blush unseen; for a newspaper could not yet be
supported in so sparsely settled a county as was Yolo County.
Of the merits of the paper we know nothing, but only
know that it shared the fate of most journals established
under like circumstances. It lived to see its second birth-
day, just began to speak understandingiy, then died and
was buried.
The terms of the county officers elected two 3^ears before,
of course, were now about to expire; and H. Gwinn's four-
year term as County Judge was also about to close.
At the general election in September, Isaac Davis was
elected as County Judge; the Eev. J. N. Pendegast, County
Clerk; James L. Cox, Sheriff; "William H. McGrew, Dis-
32 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
trict Attorney, and W. N. Brooks was re-elected County
Treasurer.
1858.
In 1858 tlie Senatorial District, composed of Yolo, Napa
and Solano, was represented in tlie Senate by Humplirey
Griffitli, and Yolo County was represented in tlie Assembly
by William Minis, the present State Senator for this dis-
trict. The county officers elected in 1857 entered upon their
duties at the time apj)ointed by law. The term of John M.
Howell, the second District Judge for the Eleventh Judi-
cial District, composed of the counties of Yolo, Placer and
El Dorado, was now about to expire, and at the general
election, held in September, B. E. Myers was elected Judge
of that district, and at the close of the year commenced his
official duties.
1859.
In 1859 Yolo County was represented in the Assembly by
Harrison Gwinu, who had the year previously left the
County Judge's bench, and the Tenth Senatorial District
continued to be represented by H. Griffith. At the general
election of this year, J. T. Daly was elected County Clerk;
James A. Douglas, Sheriff; J. W. Jacobs, District Attorney,
and TV. N. Brooks was reelected County Treasurer. In
November or December of this year, some parties discov-
ered gold in considerable quantities in several gulches
emptying into Putah Creek, in the southwest, part of the
county. A sufficient supply of water could not be obtained
to work the mines to advantage, and not sufficient to work
them at all, except whilst it was raining. There is no
stream that can be conducted to the head of these gulches
and made available for washing gold there found. After
the discovery, minors from different parts came to the newly-
discovered gold-field, and found the gold in such quantities
as to afford them very fair wages — sometimes making as
high as eight dollars per day with the old-fashioned rocker.
Several hundred miners congregated there with their equip-
age, and remained until the rains of that season had ceased.
No attention has been paid to the workings of the mines
HISTOEY OP YOLO COUNTY. 33
there since, yet, it is almost certain that, if means could be
devised by which water could be obtained without great
expense, in sufficient quantities to wash the earth by means
of sluices or hydraulic power, as it is called, large fortunes
might be taken from these ravines.
During that year Mr. James Lowe, a resident of Yolo
County, crossed the Sacramento River into Sutter County,
and "jumped" a farm belonging to a German, whose name
we have now forgotten. The German secreted himself in
ambush and shot Lowe, killing him instantly. An arrest
was made; the German was tried and acquitted, and subse-
quently was drowned in the Sacramento River while in a
state of intoxication.
1860.
In 1860, Harrison Gwinn, having been reelected, contin-
ued to represent Yolo County in the Assembly, and Henry
Edgerton, then of Napa, now of Sacramento City, repre-
sented the district in the Senate. The county offices were
filled by the officials who were elected at the last general
election.
1861.
In 1861, Yolo was represented in the Assembly by W. S.
Wood, and the district in the Senate by Henry Edgerton.
At this session of the Legislature, an Act was passed and
approved March 15th, again establishing the county seat
at Washington. Accordingly, in July of that year^ the
records and papers belonging to the county were again
transferred to that place. An Act was also passed re-di-
viding the State into Senatorial Districts, in which it was
provided that the counties of Yolo and Solano should con-
stitute the Seventeenth Senatorial District.
W. S. Ravely gathered together the dry remains of the
Yolo Democrat, that had been published at Cacheville, trans-
ferred them to Knight's Landing, and with the material es-
tablished a small paper, entitled the KnigMs Landing Neivs.
At the general election, held in September, John B. Smith
was elected County Judge; E. Giddings, County Clerk;
Charles H. Gray, Sheriff; Charles W. Reed, Treasurer, and
H. P. Hamblin, District Attorney.

34 THE WESTERN SHOEE GAZETTEER.
In tlie summer of this year a homicide was committed in
this county by a man named George Doane. One Samuel
Fellows, it appears, had been guilty of making criminal
advances to Doane's wife. When the fact came to the
knowledge of Doane, he immediately sought Fellows and
killed him with a single stroke from the butt of a horse-
whip. Doane was arrested and held to bail, but the Grand
Jury never found a bill against him.
1862.
Yolo was represented in the Assembly, in 1862, by I. N.
Hoag, and the Senatorial District by O. B. Powers, now
County Judge of Solano County. John B. Smith, the
County Judge elect, failed to qualify, and I. N. Hoag was
appointed by the Governor to fill that office until the gen-
eral election of 1862. The remainder of the county oflicers
entered upon their duties at the time appointed by law.
An Act was passed on the nineteenth of April, attaching
Yolo County to the Sixth Judicial District, whereupon J. H.
McKune, Judge of that district, entered upon the duties of
District Judge for Yolo County.
In 1855, one James McClure and James McClure, Junior,
built a small blacksmith shop about four and a half miles
southeast from where Cacheville was subsequently built, and
commenced the business of blacksmithing. During the
same year one Henry Wyckoff put up a small building near
this shop, and commenced merchandising on a small scale.
In October, of the next year, E. R. Moses, now a resident of
Woodland, was permitted by the proprietors of said black-
smith shop to occupy a portion of it for wood work. In
1857, he and his brother, A. C. Moses, purchased the shop,
and therein built a number of threshing machines, which
were sold in the community. This purchase, however, was
not made until after the elder McClure had sold his interest
in the shop to Joseph Wolgamot, and business had been
carried on for a time in the name of Wolgamot & McClure.
During the summer a gambling and whisky shop, made of
canvas, was started by a man known by the not very
euphonious name of "By Hell." He was indicted by the
HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 35
Grand Jury, and left for parts unknown. The same year,
1857, a division of tlie ' ' Sons of Temperance " was organ-
ized by tlie community around, and a school-house was
built near the shop, to which a second story was added and
occupied as a hall by the " Sons of Temperance " and as a
Masonic Lodge. In the fall our enterprising citizen, F. S.
Freeman, purchased the little store built by Mr. "Wyckoff,
and stocked it with goods, and this little neighborhood took
the name of Yolo City. In 1868 a post-office was estab-
lished here by that name, and F. S. Freeman was appointed
post-master, who purchased of the Government the land
upon which the few buildings, except the school-house, were
located, near the southwest corner of which a whisky-shop
was established, where laboring men from the neighboring
farms occasionally congregated and played cards for liquor.
On one of these occasions, one William Harbin and one
Frank Wright had been engaged at playing when a dispute
arose between them as to the number of games that had
been lost, whereupon the former drew a knife and stabbed
the latter, killing him almost instantly. Harbin made his
•escape and was never arrested.
In the autumn of 1860, there resided, about one mile
southwest from Freeman's store and Moses' shop, the Rev-
erend J. N. Peudegast, and about three miles southwest
from his place the Reverend J. Lawson — both quite noted
pastors of the Christian Church — who, by their energy and
influence, succeeded in enlisting the interests of that organ-
ization to an extent to induce the building of an institution
known as the Hesperian College — a more perfect history of
which will be found under another head in this volume.
The few buildings we have mentioned comprised the whole
or nearly the whole of Yolo City until 1862.
On the thirteenth of March, 1862, an Act was passed,
providing that, on the twenty-first day of April, 1862, an
election should be held in the County of Yolo to locate and
establish the county seat of said county, and to determine,
by a majority of all the votes cast at said election,' whether
the said county seat should be and remain at the town of
Washington, or be removed to the town of Woodland, com-
monly called Yolo City.
36 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Seldom have elections been more vigorously contested
than was this; sectional prejudices arose in different parts
of the county which have not now, after a lapse of eight
years, been wholly healed. The result of the election was
to establish the county se9,t at Woodland. This place is
situated near the geographical center of the county, in the
midst of a rich agricultural community. Of its advantages,
social relations, growth, prosperity and present flourishing
condition, the reader is referred to other parts of this vol-
ume. At the general election in 1862, H. Griffith and L. B.
Hopkins were the opposing candidates for County Judge,
to fill the vacancy occasioned by the failure of Smith to
qualify. L. E. Hopkins was the successful candidate, and
entered upon the duties of his office in December. The
election was conducted with vigor, but in a friendly spirit.
Both candidates had warm, personal friends; both were
amply qualified for the position. H. Griffith died the May
following, and L. B. Hoj^kins, as Probate Judge, issued
letters testamentary upon his estate, and in two months
afterwards Judge Hopkins also died.
Early in 1862, a man was killed, by the name of Jacob
Byhard, whilst attempting to get unlawful possession of a
farm, the particulars of which we have not learned, but
only know that there was no conviction for the offense.
1863.
In the Legislature of 1863, Yolo was represented in the
Assembly by Edward Patten, and the Seventeenth Sena-
torial District was represented by O. B. Powers. At this
time certain amendments to the State Constitution went
into effect, whereby State Senators were to hold their offices
for the term of four years, and Assemblymen two years.
The sessions of the Legislature were to be biennial, and
were to meet on the first Monday of December, instead of
January.
At the general election held in September, L. C. Brownell
was elected County Clerk; C. H. Gray was reelected Sheriff";
G. A. Fabricious, County Treasurer, and H. G. Burnett
District Attorney; and at the Judicial election held in Oc-
HISTORY OF YOLO COUNTY. 37
tober, J. H. McKune was reelected Judge of the Sixth
Judicial District and James A. Hutton, County Judge.
In June of this year, a brutal murder was committed
near Buckeye, in this county. An old gentleman, by the
name of Palmer, was found dead in a barnyard, with a rope
tied around his neck, with one end attached to a saddle.
There was a horse in the yard, from whicK the saddle had
evidently been taken after having dragged the corpse sev-
eral times around the yard. The skull of the deceased had
been broken with some implement having square edges and
being about one inch thick; a board of that thickness was
found, secreted under some straw, upon which there was an
abundance of human hair and blood. J. W. Markley was
accused of the crime, indicted and tried, but finally ac-
quitted.
1884.
The Legislature met in December, 1863, for the session
of 1863-4. Yolo was represented in the House by J. B.
Hartsough, and the District of Yolo and Solano by J. T.
Hall. By the Constitutional Amendment, the Senate of
that session was to be divided into two classes : one class to
hold office for two years and the other for four. Mr. Hall
drew the short term. The county officers elected at the
last election entered upon their duties as provided by law —
the judicial on the first of January and the ministerial on
the first of March. During this session of the Legislature
a law was passed to prevent the trespassing of animals,
providing for a recovery of damages in case of such tres-
pass, whether the lands were or were not fenced. This
gave a new impetus to the grain-growing interests of Yolo
County. Farmers could cultivate their lands in safety
without the expense of inclosures; it led to a development
of the agricultural interests which it could not otherwise
have obtained for many years.
About the month of May of this year, the Knight's Land-
ing News was transferred to Woodland, changed its name,
and was afterwards published under the name of I he
Woodland News.

in tlie spring of 186-i. William Williams had been con-
victed of murder in Sacramento County some years pre-
viously; his case was taken to the Supreme Court, the
judgment reversed and sent back for a new trial; it was
then transferred to Yolo County, and he was again con-
victed; another appeal was taken to the Supreme Court,
and the judgment was affirmed. He was accordingly exe-
cuted by the Sheriff of Yolo in the spring of 1864.
The year 1864 was a hard one for Yolo County. The dry
season was felt in all parts of the State, but probably in
none more than in Yolo. Two years before, the crops had
been almost uuprecedented in the county. An average of
forty-five bushels of wheat or sixty bushels of barley to the
acre was not an unusual yield. Such prosperity tempted
farmers, in hopes of a continuance of like yields, to make
investments to an extent unwarranted. In 1863 the crops
were light, and in 1864 they were a perfect failure. Land
depreciated in value more than a hundred per cent. ; those
who were in debt were almost compelled to sell their pos-
sessions. There was, perhaps, not grain enough raised in
the county to feed the fowls of the common, much less to
supply the wants of the peojDle.
1865-6.
Early in April, 1865, L. C. Brownell died, leaving the
office of County Clerk vacant, and immediately thereafter
E. Giddiugs was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to
fill the vacancy.
At the general election, in September following, E. Gid-
dings was elected County Clerk; William Minis, Sheriff;
Giles E. Sill, Treasurer, and H. G. Burnett waa re-elected
District Attorney. L. B. Mizner was elected to the Senate
to represent Yolo and Solano counties, and Charles F. Beed
to represent Yolo County in the Assembly and serve during
the session of 1865 and 1866.
In the fall of 1866, a homicide was committed near Fre-
mont, in this county. Some of the circumstance^ disclosed
by the evidence were as follows : T. A. Eussell and W. A.
Currie were brothers-in-law, stopi^iug at the house of Mrs.
HISTOKY OF YOLO COUNTY. 39
Dawson, their sister-in-law. The fact came to the knowl-
edge of Kussell that Currie was criminally intimate with
his wife, and as Currie entered a room where Eussell was
sitting, immediately after the facts had been learned by
him, he drew a pistol and shot Currie, killing him instantly.
Russell was arrested, tried and acquitted.
1867-8.
In 1867, M. A. Woods was elected County Judge;
E. Bynum, County Clerk; William Minis was reelected
Sheriff; Giles E. Sill was reelected County Treasurer,
and J. C. Ball was elected District Attorney; John M.
Kelly was elected Assemblyman from this county and rep-
resented it in the Legislature of 1867 and 1868 — L. B.
Mizner continuing in the Senate.
Early in the winter of 1867, a homicide was committed
at Knight's Landing. Two men who were perfect stran-
gers met in a bar-room — James Stewart and C. A. Brown.
Brown was intoxicated and crazed with alcohol — no per-
sonal prejudices to avenge — no previous hatred to be
aroused. A few words of altercation were heard, a clinch
ensued, a knife was drawn, and Stewart fell, bleeding and
dying, to the floor. The demon of intemperance impelled
the mortal stroke; a good man was a corpse — an awful
warning to those who indulge in the intoxicating bowl!
Brown was tried in 1867, and by a jury of his countrymen
found guilty of manslaughter.
We have said that the Yolo Democrat, published in Cache-
ville, in 1857, died in its infancy and was buried. But:
"After death is the resurrection." We have said, also,
that the remains of the institution were removed to
Knight's Landing and converted into the KnigMs Landing
News; that in 1864: it was removed to Woodland, and there
appeared as the Woodland Neios. This paper continued to
be published until the autumn of 1867, and died on the
sixteenth of November of that year. On Saturday, the
twenty-third of November, there appeared in the streets of
Woodland the Yolo Democrat, the resurrected remains of
the paper that died in Cacheville ten years before. It had

materially improved in appearance by its long slumber; for
it had not been dead but sleeping!
On tlie first of October, 1868, tlie Yolo Mail, a Republican
journal, was established at Woodland. Both papers are
now flourishing institutions at that place.
1869-70.
In 1869, E. Bynum was elected County Clerk; J. P. Bul-
lock, Sheriff; A. C. Kean, Treasurer, and J. C. Ball was
reelected District Attorney; John M. Kelly was reelected
to the Assembly, and William Minis was elected State
Senator from this district; Lewis Ramage was elected
Judge of the Sixth Judicial District — each of whom yet
holds the office to which he was then elected. •
In the fall of 1869, Isaac Wyckam killed a man by the
name of Ferris, in this county. The cause of the homicide
was a difficulty about a land claim. Wyckam is yet in
jail awaiting his trial. The facts have not yet been given in
evidence, and we shall not attempt to give them in advance.
M. A. Woods, County Judge, died January 30th, 1870,
and James Johnson was appointed by Governor Haight to
fill the vacancy.
We have now completed our little history of Yolo
County, from its earliest settlement until the year 1870.
We do not flatter ourselves that it contains a large amount
of matter interesting to those who have not been to some
extent identified with its interests.
But if it shall awaken in the minds of the early settlers
pleasant and romantic reminiscences of the past, become a
source of gratification to those who in the future may be-
come citizens of the county, or be found convenient as a
statistical reference, our whole object will have been ob-
tained.
YOLO COUNTY.
Yolo County lies on the west side of the Sacramento
Eiver, between tlie parallels of thirty-eight and thirty-nine
degrees, north latitude. Woodland, the county seat, is
situated near the forty-fifth degree of longitude, west from
Washington, or one hundred and two degrees west from
Greenwich. The county contains a population of nearly
ten thousand, probably falling short three hundred of that
number, according to the census just taken.
The main portion of the county presents the appearance
of an unbroken plain, interspersed with strips or belts of
timber-land. It forms one of the most productive portions
of the Sacramento Valley, and is already justly celebrated
for the richness of its fields, the rapid growth of its lead-
ing-towns, and the general advancement of trade and com-
mercial interests. As surveyed, the county contains nine
hundred and forty square miles, or six hundred and one
thousand six hundred acres. Supposing the western line
to run its direct course through the unsurveyed portion,
there would be about eighty thousand acres additional,
making a total of six hundred and eighty-one thousand six
hundred. For convenience, we will call it seven hundred
thousand acres, divided as follows : Swamp and overflowed
land, one hundred and sixty thousand acres; mountain
land, two hundred thousand acres; leaving three hun-
42 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
clred and forty tliousand acres suitable for cultiTation.
We have accounts of one hundred and fifty-six thou-
sand three hundred and fifty-eight acres cultivated this
season, divided as follows: One hundred and twenty-
nine thousand seven hundred and eight acres of wheat,
twenty-four thousand and eighty acres of barley, two
thousand five hundred and seventy acres of garden.
Our estimate of the average crop is : Fifty-eight thousand
tons of wheat; twelve thousand tons of barley; value of
garden products, one hundred and thirty thousand dollars.
The value of the annual export trade of eggs and poultry is
fifty-eight tliousand three hundred dollars. Taking the
average price of the season, one and one-half cents per
pound, we have as the value of the wheat crop, one million
seven hundred and forty tliousand dollars; value of the
barley, at twenty dollars per ton, two hundred and forty
thousand dollars. About thirty thousand acres were cut
for hay this season, yielding about that number of tons,
valued at two hundred and forty thousand dollars. The
value of the agricultural products foots up to two million
four hundred and eight thousand three hundred.
The grain crop is mostly purchased at three points:
Woodland, Knight's Landing and Davisville, though small
quantities are stored and sold at other points along the
river and railroad. Messrs. Laugenour & Brownell and
C. F. Eeed buy at Knight's Landing, Messrs. Thomas &
Hunt and F. S. Freeman at Woodland, Dresbach & Co. at
Davisville.
The past season has not been favorable to grain growers,
and the yield through the county, with but few exceptions,
has been light.
There are in the county many sources of wealth aside
from those mentioned, which will be treated of in their
proper order — a brief paragraph being devoted to each.
Manufactures are in a flourishing condition, as will be seen
by a glance at the tables of statistics. This county is a
heavy importer of many articles that could be well manu-
factured here at less cost than they now command, and
this fact is turning the attention of capitalists in that
YOLO COUNTY. 43
direction, and we hope ere long to see factories for various
branches of manufactures erected in our midst.
Yolo County possesses great natural advantages as an
agricultural and commercial county. With the sinuosities
of the river the county possesses a water front of sixty to
seventy miles, on which are several landings where grain
and produce can.be readily shipped.
The California Pacific Bailroad traverses the central part
of the county, affording rapid transit for exports or imports
at any time of the year. The river carriage is extensive
and rates of transportation reasonable, and the route is
rarely interrupted by changes of seasons.
Projected Railroads.
The projected railroads, when completed, will bring a
great addition of wealth to the county — bringing the land
carriage and travel of several counties directly through
Yolo. With a road to Colusa and Red Bluflfs, connecting
with the present road at Woodland, the business of that
section would pass over this route on its way to the bay,
adding materially to the extensive travel now x^^T-ssing
through the county.
But a road of as much and perhaps of more importance
to the interests of this county, because its business would
be more centralized here, is the road projected from Wood-
land, through Capay Valley and't3aclie Creek Canon, via
Clear Lake, to the Mendocino Eed Woods.
This road would give us the whole trade of Lake County
and a large portion of Mendocino. It would centralize the
business at Woodland, doubling its business and size
within the first year after the road was completed. Lum-
ber, which now commands such exorbitant prices, could be
delivered in Woodland at rates enabling our farmers to
fence and build at far less rates than they are now com-
pelled to pay. The growing importance of the Lake
County trade demands that an earnest effort be made on
the part of the business men of this county to secure it.
The lumber and wood interests alone would justify the
44 THE WESTEKN SHOKE GAZETTEER.
venture. From Woodland to tlie mouth of the canon
through Capay Yalley is but forty miles, over a natural
road-bed, presenting no obstacles but a level plain. From
the outlet of the canon to the lake is twenty miles of heavy
work, the route following the creek. From the lake to the
lumber regions — forty miles — the route presents no serious
obstacles, the spurs or slopes of the broken ridges being
long and of easy grades; Through the caiion seems to be
the only natural, feasible route for the road, as the range that
intervenes between the lake and Capay Valley is from six
hundred to one thousand feet above the lake, the ascent
and descent very abrupt and probably insurmountable.
There are no long, sloping spurs by which a road could be
carried up or down this range, without the expenditure of
such sums as would forbid its construction in the present
state of the counties affected thereby.
The prosperity of the county demands the establishment
of these routes, especially the northern and northwestern
portions, which are now dependent on freight teams as a
means of transportation for the vast crops annually grown
in those sections.
Clear Lake Wagon Road.
A very good wagon road has been constructed across the
mountains, connecting with the Berryessa Yalley and Clear
Lake Eoad; but it is of little importance as a route over
which to transj)ort large amounts of freight, owing to the
abruptness of the ascent from this side and the steep
descent into Sulphur Creek Valley, where it unites with the
road mentioned. From the foot of the mountains to the
county line, or rather, all that portion of the road lying in
Yolo, is a county road and free to travelers, but that por-
tion in Lake County, from the ridge to the valley, is a
chartered toll road, which has a great tendency to turn
Lake County travel into Napa via of Berryessa Valley.
Li this connection it may be well to consider the
Public Roads of the County.
We cannot speak in lavish praise of the road-system of
YOLO COUNTY. 45
the county, whicli lias liad the effect of furnishing very poor
roads and very few at that.
In a county susceptible of having the very best of public
roads, we find but few if any that would be classed as be-
longing to that order. We find further, that many of the
roads, asnowused, have never been laid out and declared pub-
lic highways, and are liable to be shut up and closed to the
public at any moment, when caprice or other causes on the
part of the land-owners should determine them to do so.
This state of affairs is a great detriment to the prosperity
of the county, for various reasons. Owners of lands ad-
joining roads, not yet declared public highways, hesitate to
fence, build, plant trees and otherwise improve their farms,
fearful that some cajDrice or whim of their neighbors may
remove the road, and they and their improvements be left
isolated. Again, the farmer fears that a road may be forced
through his lands at inconvenient points, and he forbears
fencing, which might all have to be removed, to remain of any
value, should the present roads be changed, as is frequently
the case. These and many other considerations render it
almost imperative that the public roads should be located
permanently by the proper authorities.
There is another item to be considered in connection with
roads, of equal importance to trade and travel. We refer
to the public
Bridges.
In this department the county has done nobly, and, as
far as at present constructed, her bridges are inferior to
none. Two fine bridges span Cache Creek — one at Nelson's,
near Woodland, and one at Cacheville. One is spoken of
at the mouth of Cache Creek Canon, which would accom-
modate the section north of the creek, and known as Hun-
gry Hollow. A bridge at this point is an imperative neces-
sity, and will doubtless soon be built by the county or by
private individuals. It is absolutely necessary to bring the
trade of that portion of the county to Woodland.
In other parts of the county, the streams are smaller and
generally well bridged. The road and bridge fund of the
46 THE WESTEEN SHORE GAZETTEER.
county is in good condition, and we may confidently expect
an improvement in tlie pnblic liigliways.
Toll Roads.
There are but two toll roads — the Putah Greek Turnpike
and the Yolo PlankroacJ Turnpike Company's Road. The
latter road connects the Eiver Road with the Buckeye Road,
via the Tule House. The Toll Road extends from the river
to the Tule House, and is four and one-half miles long. It
was built in 1855, under a charter granted to J. L. Lewis,
William Green, J. P. Hopper, W. 0. Wallace, George W.
Foster, Joshua B. Tufts and Judge Ralston. The road is
assessed at three thousand eight hundred dollars. It was
built to enable the travel to cross the tules during the win-
ter and spring months, but we believe there has been but
two winters since it was built when travel was entirely un-
interrupted by the floods. J. L. Lewis is gate-keeper.
Ferries.
The first ferry established in Yolo County was established
by J. B. Lewis, who crossed the plains in '50 and settled in
this county in May, '51. In the following fall, he started the
first ferry across the tules, near where the present Toll
Road is established. It was what is known as a rope ferry,
the rope used being three miles long. Two trips were made
daily, unless the wind prevented, as was frequently the case.
The prices of ferryage was as follows : Two dollars per head
for stock; one dollar for each passenger. Mr. Lewis records
one season when the ferry was useless, there being no water
in the tules. In '52-3 and 4, he run a ferry across Wash-
ington Lake.
Smith's Ferry.
The ferries in present use in the county are four in num-
ber. Smith's Perry, the uppermost, is about fourteen miles
north from Woodland, on the Marysville Road.
YOLO COUNTY. 47
Knight's Landing Ferry-
Is one of the oldest on the river. It is OAvned by J. Snow-
hall and others.
Siitterville Ferry,
Three and a half miles below Washington, connects Sutter-
ville with the Yolo shore, at McGregor's Ranch. It is
owned and run by Samnel Hawk.
Freeport Ferry,
Or Jackson's Ferry, connects the town of Freeport with the
Yolo shore. It was established by George C. Jackson and
others in 1852 — Mr. Jackson being boss-builder of the first
boat. This is a buoy ferry, with a large boat and excellent
landings. It is thirteen miles below Washington, thirty-
one miles southeast from Woodland. It is owned and run
by its old proprietor, George C. Jackson.
We will now consider the natural divisions of the county,
their general character, resources and value :
Natural Divisions of the County.
Owing to the peculiar location of the county and the
varied character of its soil, it is divided by nature into five
sections, which we have classed as divisions one, two, three,
four and five, when locating the many farms and speaking
of their qualities.
These divisions have not been made by us in such a
manner as to include in one belt all land of equal value — far
from it. We have taken the natural divisions and simply
numbered them. For example: A farm may be located in
division three, but owing to its proximity to division two it
may be comparatively worthless, or it may be of far more
value than the one in the same division immediately ad-
joining it.
There are farms in division two which, owing to their
peculiar location, their adaptability to peculiar phases of
48 THE WESTEEN SHORE GAZETTEER.
agi'iculture, and for many other causes, are lield at high
figures and will command them ; while, on the other hand,
there are farms in divisions one and three that are nearly
worthless, owing to natural causes, still they are ranked in
those valuable divisions because they come within the belts
thus segregated by Nature.
In division five occasionally we find small and A^aluable
farms, but not in division four, which presents but little
difierence in soil throughout its length and breadth.
This explanation may sufiice to show why some farms in
division three are valued at thirty, forty, fifty to one hun-
dred, dollars per acre, while others in the same division are
valued at from five to fifteen dollars per acre.
Quality of soil has been the first consideration, then the
advantages of living water — soil being equal — in valuing
lands. We then consider the proximity to market and
large towns, which places a value on such lands (all other
things being equal) far above the price of lands less favor-
ably situated. For instance : Land in the immediate vicinity
of Woodland sells readily at from sixty-five to one hundred
dollars per acre, while land of better quality, thirty miles
distant, commands but from twenty to thirty dollars. Again,
very large farms are rated lower per acre than small ones
in the same locality, our aim being to give a \aluation that
would be realized in case of forced sales of the whole
quantity.
The buyer would find it impossible to purchase eighty
or one hundred and sixty acres of land from the owners of
large tracts at the figures given, for the reason that the
holders of large tracts of grain land do not desire to sell,
unless they dispose of the whole body.
Again, in division two the value of the lands is but pros-
pective, depending on the future.
But we leave this for a general description of each divis-
ion, commencing with
DIVISION ONE,
Which is a narrow belt of land, bordering the Sacramento
River the entire length of the county. In width, it varies
YOLO COUNTY. 49
from fifty rods to half a mile, rarely exceeding the latter.
Besides the river belt a similar strip of land borders
Babel, Elk and Sutter sloughs, as well as the sinks of
Putah and Cache creeks. This laud is entirely "made
land;" or, in other words, it has been deposited by the
streams in their annual overflow. In some localities, where
the water has been ' ' backed up " and over these lands, the
sediment has accumulated very rapidly and attained a great
depth. These sections are the choice garden lands of the
county, and are remarkable for their fertility and the
apparently inexhaustible nature of the soil. The clearing
of these lands from the great growth of willow and ' ' un-
derbrush " which covers them is very difficult and expen-
sive. The labor ceases not with the first crop. Great care
must be exercised for several years, or until the roots have
been quite eradicated; and then, if the land is suffered to
lie idle for a few seasons, it is again covered with an almost
impenetrable mass of vines and "underbrush."
This land, at the present time, rents readily for fifteen to
twenty-five dollars per acre, according to the locality and
quality. A great many Chinamen are employed in garden-
ing, generally renting the land and working for themselves.
About twenty-five hundred acres are cultivated in vege-
tables, the annual value of the product being estimated
at one hundred and thirty thousand dollars.
DIVISION TWO.
Under this head is classed the tule and swamp lands of the
county. They are situated mostly in the southern and east-
ern portions of the county, though the belt extends to the
extreme northwestern corner. This tract of land, or divis-
ion, contains two hundred and fifty sections, or about one
hundred and sixty thousand acres. A large portion of this
land can be grazed only during the summer and fall, for
when the winter and spring floods appear it is mostly sub-
merged. Great loss of property has frequently occurred
from the sudden inundations of this section of the county.
The valuation of this land is merely nominal, the taxes
4
50 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
light accordingly. For the present year it is assessed at
one and a quarter dollars per acre. Its real value in many
cases is far greater, while in others it is all the land is
worth at present.
The Tules
Which cover this section are simply immense rushes, which
cover the ground with an almost impenetrable thicket.
They reach an altitude unknown in other lands, frequently
attaining the height of sixteen to eighteen feet. The aver-
age height of these tules is about ten feet, growing less on
the borders where the swamp land joins the other division.
During the summer season these swamps afford good pas-
turage, or ' ' range " for numbers of cattle and horses.
Hogs thrive remarkably well, finding a great variety of
roots and bulbous plants suitable for food.
These immense rushes are annuals, and their decay in
the fall is as rapid as their growth is remarkable in the
spring.
From the decayed matter of this swamp growth, and
the sediment annually deposited, the present soil has been
formed. In some localities it is comparatively shallow,
while in others it has been demonstrated to extend a depth
of sixty feet, with no perceptible difference in the character
or formation of the deposit.
Underlying this deposit is a strata of clay, resting upon
a bed of sand and gravel, from which, in most cases, excel-
lent water is obtained. The soil is apparently inexhaust-
ible, and where it has been reclaimed has been j)roved of
great productive powers.
Levees.
A system of levjang was undertaken several years since,
which so far has not produced the desired effect. The
waters from the Sacramento Eiver have been kept within
their channel for some distance, but the back-waters over-
flow the land at every flood. Still the damage is trifling,
compared with what it would be if the river had full sway.
It is a question whether this land can ever be reclaimed,
YOLO COUNTY. 51
as a body. Apparently not, unless tlie streams wliich pour
their winter floods thereon could be carried between levees
until their wate-rs reach the main channel or the bay.
Certain it is, that could this reclamation be effected, one
of the finest bodies of agricultural lands in the State would
be ready for occupancy, and become a source of immense
wealth and prosperity.
Reclamation of Swamp Lands.
There are parts and portions of this land, such, for ex-
ample, as Merritt's Island and those portions bordering the
sinks of Cache and Putah creeks, that could be readily
reclaimed; but those parts lying within the "deep tule "
range, though perhaps reclaimable, would, doubtless, re-
quiie a greater outlay of capital than the present condition
of affairs would justify. Hence, we can see no reasonable
ground for believing that the main body of the tules will
be reclaimed for many years to come.
A plan is now under consideration whereby the tule
lands in tlie northeastern portion of the county may be
reclaimed, and a petition has been laid before the Board of
Supervisors, asking that legal steps may be taken for that
purpose. It is proposed to take in, in one district, all that
body of tules lying north of Knight's Landing and south of
the Colusa line, and inclose it, where necessary, with levees.
It is claimed that by thus segregating it, the work of recla-
mation will be very light.
DIVISION THREE.
Under this head is classed the grain lands of the State,
or that portion of the county lying between the foot-hills
and the belt of swamp land of which we have been speak-
ing. In it are included the valleys, such as are large
enough to be of any note. This body of land, with one
exception, is treated as a whole in classifying farms, though
it is far from possessing an equal value.
The exception referred to is the red, gravelly belt, which
extends through a portion of the main grain-growing sec-

tion. This will be spoken of under division four, witJi
which we have classed it.
Where the grain lands join the tules the quality of the
soil is frequently very different from that which lies but
one section further inland. A narrow belt of lands, often
strongly impregnated with alkali, generally unites the two
divisions. This land, lying above the overflows, and gen-
erally cultivated, is located among the grain lands. Owing
to the prevalence of alkali on some farms, their value is
very materially decreased. This explanation will suffice to
afford a reason why some farms are valued at low figures,
while others immediately adjoining them are valued very
high. The quality of the soil and the improvements
thereon have determined the valuations of farms, while
nature determines the divisions.
Again, where the grain lands border on the foot-hills,
and include in their compass broken lands, rolling hills,
gTilches and ravines, they are naturally of less value than
where the same quality of soil is well situated.
All these points have been considered in connection with
these lands, and the main peculiarities of each section have
been noted and will be briefly alluded to.
DIVISION FOUR.
This embraces the red, gravelly belt, referred to, and the
first range of foot-hills. This gravel ridge and alkali belt
begins about four miles west from Woodland, extending to
within about three miles of Cottonwood. It has a width
of from one to four miles, including in its limits, alkali,
adobe, gravel-beds, and many other peculiar features of
soil, that are more* marked than valuable. There are a few
good farms within this district, but they are the exceptions.
The foot-hills included in this division arc those bordering
the entire length of the county, or rather those that are
suitable for and have been devoted to grain culture.
DIVISION FIVE.
In this is included the mountainous part or western

division of tlie county. It is used only for gi-azing, and
lias for that purpose a nominal value, equivalent to the tule
lands in taxation, though these lands will sell more readily
and bring a better price.
Value of the Crazing Lands.
These lands, where convenient to water, have been rated
at five dollars per acre, and of those which are not watered
and claimed we have made no mention. There is quite a
body of grazing land among the mountains yet unclaimed
and unsurveyed. It is worthless to any one but those who
have secured the water-courses and springs.
It is highly probable that many years will elapse before
the mountains will be surveyed and sectionized, if ever
they are ; and until then those who have stock ranges will
hold them to the exclusion of new-comers. There is no
inducement whatever for stock-men to seek Yolo County,
as every available stock ranch is claimed or occupied — gen-
erally the latter. Unless he wishes to purchase locations,
and expects to pay a round price for them, it is unneces-
sary for the stock-man to visit Yolo with the intention of
locating.
Having glanced at the divisions thus naturally formed,
we will consider some of the main features of the localities
thus divided, and take a general view of the different va-
rieties of farming lands found in division three, com-
mencing with those bordering the Sacramento River — the
main body of division one.
Sacramento River Land.
Along the Sacramento Eiver, extending -from the lower
end of the county on the south to Knight's Landing on the
north, is a strip of arable land which is separated from the
main body of grain lands by a belt of tule or marsh lands.
This belt of land, which we have classed as division one,
varies in width from one-eighth to one mile, and extends,
including the sinuosities of the river, about forty or forty-
54 THE WESTERN SHOEE GAZETTEER.
fiye miles in lengtli. From Kniglit's Landing, where tlie
belt is broken, it continues to the Colusa line, but bearing the
same general character. This portion of the belt, includ-
ing Grand Island, being more properly under the head of
grain lands, has been generally so designated, though the
marsh lands bordering it have been classed with similar
land in the county. All of that portion which lies below
Washington is included in the gardens of the county. But
very little grain is grown below that point — the land being
better adapted to growing vegetables and garden products.
Besides, it has been found to be more profitable — a surer
source of, income — when cultivated in that manner, than
when planted to grain. The uncertainty of the grain mar-
ket, the constant and increasing demand for vegetables and
fruits, and the peculiar adaptability of the soil for this par-
ticular branch of industry, has had the efiect of almost
totally excluding grain culture from this division of the
county.
Another cause works strongly in favor of gardening, as
compared with the culture of the cereals. We refer to the
annual overflows, which, for a limited portion of the year,
hold these lands completely locked in their embrace. Al-
though large and strong levees have been constructed along
the river banks, they are security against the river floods
alone, and are powerless to prevent the inroads of the wa-
ters which accumulate in the tule marshes, having been dis-
charged there from the mighty torrents which annually find
their way from the mountains to the plains, through the
swollen channels of Cache and Putah crocks, their numer-
ous tributaries and the many creeks and gulches Avliich,
though dry and dusty in the sumnier, are roaring torrents
in the winter. This Avater, not finding an available outlet
to the sea of sufficient capacity to readily discharge its
vast volume, "sets back" over the lands adjoining the
river, and almost completely submerges them, for months
at a time.
The quantity of land thus submerged, which is afterward
made available, varies in bulk according to the severity of
the winter; but, until the rainy season has passed, it is un-

safe and unwise to cultivate any portion of tlie land wliicli
is subject to inundation.
The bed of tlie river has, doubtless, underwent many
changes, as the valley is one vast deposit. It can hardly be
supposed that the river has known only its present chan-
nel, though the trees which line its banks are indications
that many years have elapsed since the present channel was
formed.
But in many places the channel has shifted very materi-
ally, within the memory of the old settlers. Close by where
Mr. Conrad's house is standing, the proprietor hauled his
seine, in '49 and '50, over one of the best fishing grounds
on the river. Now the river is three hundred yards dis-
tant, and the intervening space is overgrown with large
willows, vines and a dense undergrowth.
Older evidences of changes are not wanting; also evi-
dences tending to show that the southern end of the county
has all been made from the annual deposits of the river.
A few years since, Mr. J. C. Eay, while sinking a well on
his place, a hundred yards or more from the river, came on
the body of a tree, twelve inches in diameter, bedded in a
strata of gravel twenty-four feet below the surface. Tour
feet above this, he passed through a strata of blue clay,
and above that still was a sand-bed. At seventy feet, a bed
of gray or ocean sand, thickly interspersed with large ma-
rine shells, was found. Beneath this, good water was ob-
tained, and the well was dug no farther. We might enu-
merate many instances where it has been demonstrated that
a large portion of these lands, and probably the whole body,
has been formed by deposits from the main river and its
tributaries, but it is unnecessary.
This class of lands, or ■ most of them, have been reclaimed
at great cost. Originally, covered with a dense growth of
scrub-oak, willow, briers, wild grape and other vines, the
expense attending on clearing the lands and fitting them for
cultivation, was very great, ranging from one hundred to
one hundred and eighty dollars per acre.
After the underbrush had been cleared and burned off,
the roots were ' ' grubbed " or dug out, before a plow could
66 THE WESTEEN SHORE GAZETTEER.
be put in the ground. Not only for one year, but for sev-
eral years, after the first clearing, must the grubbing process
be repeated, until the green sprouts are thoroughly eradi-
cated, and the remains of the old roots are entirely de-
stroyed.
The labor on these lands ceased not with the eradication
of the first growth of brush and vines. Frequently the
floods would wash over them, destroying orchards and gar-
dens, and, in a few days or hours, obliterate every trace of
years of patient toil; and the orchards must be planted
again, the fences rebuilt, the garden reclaimed again — or
the farm be abandoned. In several cases, the latter course
has been adopted, but not until after repeated trials, which
left the unlucky gardener hopelessly involved — completely
ruined.
Many of those lands which are now in use as gardens
along the river, are still suffering from the effects of the
frequent overflows. On some, the wash and sediment has
been deposited to such depths as to destroy the fertility of
the land, for some years at least. In some places, where,
but a few years since, luxuriant crops of vegetables were
grown, and where fine orchards were standing, every ves-
tige of cultivation has passed away, and nothing is to be
seen now but a dense growth of willows and briers, among
which one may occasionally see the tops of fence-posts pro-
truding six or eight inches above the soil, where but a few
years ago they stood five feet above the ground. That
depth has been filled in by the deposits of the numerous
floods which have washed away the top-soil oft' some farms
only to deposit it on others.
Again, we find farms sadly neglected — abandoned, in
fact, by their former owners, and now occupied by China-
men, who rent and cultivate each a few acres. The owners
having become discouraged by the frequent losses from
floods, have ceased to improve their lands, and, being un-
willing to dispose of them at ruling prices, have ceased to
cultivate them, nor will any effort be made to restore them
to their former position, until some system of leveeing shall
be devised and carried into effect that shall guarantee them
security against future devastation.
YOLO COUNTY. 57
That portion of the river lands now under cidtivation
commands a high price and rental per acre. Good garden
land near Washington sells from fifty to two hundred dol-
lars per acre, and rents at fifteen to twenty-five dollars,
cash, rent.
The general products are vegetables of various varieties —
the principal being corn, melons, cucumbers, sweet pota-
toes and peanuts. The amount of land annually under
cultivation in vegetables or garden, including that in other
portions of the county, amounts to about twenty -five hundred
acres — yielding an annual income to the owners or culti-
vators, of one hundred and thirty thousand dollars, and
afibrding employment to about three hundred men, a large
proportion of whom are Chinese. The remainder are
mostly Portuguese and Italians — a few French, Germans
and Americans, being engaged in the same occupation.
With a proper system of levees, that would afford secu-
rity against the floods, the number of acres and working
force would soon be quadrupled, and an almost incalcu-
lable source of wealth added to the county.
The effects of the floods are not alone devastated farms.
In many localities where the lands have been submerged
but uninjured by wash — owing to the water backing up
over them without a current — the lands have been left
in a foul state— the seeds and roots of foul growth from
other places having been deposited thereon by the water
and taken firm hold of their new location as soon as
the floods subsided. Once established, it is found to
be very difficult, if not impossible, to eradicate them by
cultivation — in fact, the morning glory, a vine of rapid
growth, seems to thrive under the severest system of
cultivation. Every joint of root which is broken by
the plow, if left on or in the soil, takes a new start
and soon becomes another vine, spreading its branches
far and wide and choking all other growth around it.
The joint-grass thrives still better, when disturbed and
broken up by the plow or hoe. Every joint, when separ-
ated from the parent stem, throws out roots and attaches
itself to the soil immediately, and as its roots extend but a
58 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
few inches below the surface, the drought has no effect
upon it. In fact, this troublesome visitor thrives equally
well above or beneath the water. The cultivation of grain,
fruit or vegetables, will not eradicate these troublesome
parasites that fatten on the ruins of fine gardens.
The only remedy left by which to escape their ravages
seems to lie in seeding the land to alfalfa, the rapid growth
of which effectually chokes out the foul interlopers. Many
of the farmers are adopting this system, and many more
will follow their example.
Among the dairy farms we find the introduction of this
plant becoming general, and the farmers express themselves
as being well satisfied with the results. Under another
head we shall treat more fully of this matter.
The dairy farms on the Sacramento are worthy of especial
notice, and several of them will be mentioned under the
head of dairy farms.
Among the most prominent of the dairymen who have
located in Merritt Township, we might refer to J. B. Green,
whose ranch lies in Yolo and Sacramento counties, being
divided by the river. The location is one of the pleas-
autest on the river, being situated on the island formed by
Elk Slough on one side and the river on the other. On
the same island are the dairy ranches of Mr. Cave, Mr.
Childs and scA^eral others.
The Sacramento Eiver lands possess much of interest,
notAvithstanding the fact that in many cases the farms have
been neglected and permitted to become overnm with
weeds, briars and bushes, while the buildings have fallen
into disuse and consequent decay. These lands were the
very earliest settled in the county, with one exception, and
many arc still living on the ranches they occupied in 1849
and 1850. The mulberry orchards, the cocooneries, with
but one or two exceptions, are situated on the river. The
only chickory-growing and manufacturing establishment in
the State is on one of these river farms, and the finest
orchards and vegetable gardens of the county are located
here. As a general rule, the water along the river is excel-
lent, being much colder than that found further back and

on those plains not subject to overflow. Grain does not
succeed as well on the river farms as it does on the j)lains,
excepting in very dry seasons. It grows too rank, and is
apt to fall without ripening, when a new crop grows imme-
diately, mixing with that which has partially ripened, ren-
dering it unfit for harvest and difficult to save.
Vegetable gardens line the river bank for miles, inter-
spersed with orchard^ and occasional grain fields. No-
where in the State do vegetables grow in greater profusion,
or attain a larger size. Mammoth squashes, melons, beets,
etc., under a liberal system of cultivation, are tlie rule —
the dwarf, shrunken specimens being rarely found. The
result of the numerous overflows has been, in most cases,
beneficial to the gardening interest. In many places the soil
is but sediment— a loose, fine sand, in which the foot sinks
to the ankle whenever placed upon the yielding surface.
This sand is thoroughly mixed with a fine loam, of exceed-
ing fertility, rendering it very productive. Sweet potatoes
grow to an unprecedented size, possessing a flavor second
to none raised elsewhere. Berries of diflerent varieties
are successfully cultivated and yield handsome returns.
The mulberry grows very rank in this soil, and requires but
little, if any, care beyond the planting and cultivation
necessary to keep down the weeds.
Peaches, pears, apricots, nectarines, plums, cherries,
quinces, figs, and many other varieties of fruit, reach their
greatest perfection along the river, but grapes fail of reach-
ing the high excellence attained in other parts of the
county and State, though they are rather extensively culti-
vated. The apple thrives better along the river than else-
where in the county — the fruit being more crisp and juicy,
and growing to a larger size. The extreme heat of the
summer is injurious to this fruit in the more exposed
plains. Along the river there is generally a breeze, cooler
and more invigorating than that which sweeps the plains at
certain periods, which has a tendency to preserve the apple
from the effects of the sun's rays. But, with this in its
favor, we find no apples which, for solidity of texture,
flavor or general appearance, can compare favorably with
60 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
those grown in tlie mountains eitlier of the Coast Eange or
tlie Sierras. Tlie apple requires a colder climate, a rocky
soil, frosts, snows and marked changes of seasons, to en-
able it to reach its perfection. For the earliest varieties —
those which ripen and are gone ere the long-heated term is
fairly upon us — the river farms will do as well or better
than any portion of the county; for those varieties of later
gi-owth, that require a season in whibh to ripen, the river
farms as well as the plains present no qualifications nor
inducements to orchardists.
Grapes fail from over-moisture, probably, as the Avood
grows very rank and rapidly. The vines appear to be well
sheltered during the growing season; the fruit sets finely
and presents the most encouraging aspect until a certain
period, when the mildew or blight seizes upon it, and the
stand becomes worthless. Such is not the case at all times,
but so frequently does it occur that grapes cannot be con-
sidered a sure crop along the river, and many have either
destroyed their vines entirely, or sufi'ered their vineyards
to go to decay and consequent ruin. We do not wish to
convey the idea that this is the case in all parts of the county
which borders on the river, for some localities, where the
land along the river bank is high, the grape flourishes very
well, but still not on an equality with those grown on the
plains, the foot-hills or the mountains.
Grapes, like the apple, thrive best on ruder soil, where
the bed-rock is near the surface, and the roots of the vine
can readily feed on its peculiar properties. These facts will
be further treated under the head of vineyards.
"Woodland Farms
In the immediate vicinity of Woodland, the soil is mostly
composed of a sandy loam, with a gravelly subsoil. The
depth of soil is not as great as in some localities, owing to
tlie fact that a gravelly elevation extends for some distance
around the place on which the town is located. Yet these
lands possess a strong soil, and, with proper cultivation,
yield handsome returns. The gravelly elevation spoken of
YOLO COUNTY. 61
is, however, better adapted to fruit and vines than grain —
the former growing most hixuriantly.
Within one and a half miles of Woodland are some very-
valuable grain farms, among which may be mentioned
Clanton's Farm.
This farm contains six hundred and forty acres of excel-
lent grain land, well fenced and improved. It is peculiarly
adapted to grain-raising, and ranks among the best grain
farms in the vicinity of Woodland.
To the north of Woodland, the land slopes away to Cache
Creek, increasing in fertility and materially changing in
quality of soil, becoming more mixed with sand on the sur-
face, and changing to a clayish subsoil. With the excep-
tion of a narrow strip of cold, swampy ground, which ex-
tends up toward the town from the sink of Cache Creek, a
fine body of grain land is presented, which is all under suc-
cessful cultivation.
The average yield of wheat for this section can be safely
estimated at thirty bushels per acre, in favorable seasons,
though frequent cases are mentioned where the yield is
much higher — forty to fifty bushels per acre having been
harvested.
Immediately west from town, we find the lands of excel-
lent quality, until we arrive at the gravelly, red soil referred
to, which will be spoken of in another article.
Willow Slough Farms.
Along the banks of Willow Slough are some of the finest
and most valuitble farms in the county. Their value is not
enhanced from the supposition that they are of a better
quality of soil (which is not always the case) than those
farms situated in other parts of the county, but rather from
their superior location, their proximity to the railroad, and
the great advantages arising from having a plentiful supply
of living water convenient of access for stock. This con-
sideration alone is suflicient, in the minds of many, to induce
them to pay or ask a price for those lands far above that
62 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
realized for other lands of equal qualities of soil, yet lack-
ing the great desideratum — water — living, running water.
The farms immediately bordering the slough, and situated
on its, eastern bank, of which we propose to speak, with
but few exceptions, possess a soil superior, in many respects,
to that found a feAv miles away from the bank of the stream.
Especially is this the case in considering much of the land
lying to the eastAvard of the lower body of water, and dis-
tant a few miles therefrom. The loam, comprising the top-
dressing of the slough lands, is deej)er and more mixed
with sediment from former wash and overflow, which gives
the land a lighter, looser bearing, especially protecting it
against drought. In the immediate neighborhood of the
last division of the slough, as soon as the higher land bor-
dering the stream is left, the whole aspect of the soil is
changed entirely. One would hardly suppose that two
classes of land, so entirely opposite in their nature and
properties, would be found in such close proximity. The
one possessed of a clear, lively, warm and strong soil — a
mixture of clay-loam and sand-sediment, capable of pro-
ducing the most luxurious crops of cereals, well adapted to
gardening, vines or orchards — while the other is cold, heavy
and backward, composed more of decayed vegetation than
other material; entirely diiferent though from regular tule
or adobe soil; thickly splashed with barren, alkali spots, on
which no vegetation grows — the whole comprising land of
but little value for aught else than grazing purposes.
This difference in quality, when understood, will account
for the gi-eat difference in the valuation of farms Avhich are
situated in the same neighborhood — in fact, joining each
other. On some of the farms bordering Willow Slough, on
the east side, these alkali patches occur occasionally, de-
S|troying several acres in a farm, while the land immediately
surrounding these barren places is of excellent quality, and
produces good crops.
Dr. Ruddock's Farm.
In following up the slough on the west or Woodland side,
we find some farms worthy of especial mention, as being
YOLO COUNTY. 63
peculiarly adapted to various branches of farming. The
farm of Dr. Kuddock, embracing one hundred and sixty
acres of land, owing to the remarkable manner in which it
is watered, is unsurpassed in its adaptability to be rendered
a small model farm. As now arranged, about ninety-five
acres are in grain, the remainder being used as pasturage.
The farm is divided by fences in four fields, in each of which
is living water-^the slough, and those three remarkable
w^ells or springs spoken of in the article on "Willow Slough.
The Doctor has about two acres of sweet almonds, which
are doing finely, yielding a good crop each year. They are
seedlings, and were planted by him but a few years since.
As a grain, fruit or stock-ranch, it is equal to the best and
inferior to none. A farm of this size, when properly pre-
pared for stock grazing, by seeding down in alfalfa, well
watered as it is, would become of far more profit to the
owner than it can possibly be while under grain cultivation;
or, used as a garden, with the advantages possessed by this
particular farm for irrigation, it could be rendered very val-
uable.
Merritt's Farm.
Another class of farms— t. e., large grain farms — is well
represented on the slough by the farm of Merritfc Brothers,
containing about seventeen hundred acres of the finest
quality of wheat land. This fine body of land is well
watered, lying on both sides of the slough, and is devoted
to raising grain. Taken as a whole, it ranks among the
most valuable farms in the county. It is improved in ad-
' vance of many, with orchard and vineyard. The dwelling-
house is one of the best in the county, and adds much to
the value of the place. This farm is peculiarly adapted to
alfalfa, and could readily be transformed into a stock farm
of great value.
Ballard's Farm.
Further up the slough we find the farm of Mr. F. Bui-
lard, one of the best-improved grain farms in that part of
the county. The annual product per acre is above the
general average — partly owing to superior soil, but more to
64 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
superior cultivation. This farm is also well adapted to
alfalfa and stock, and could be rendered very productive
and profitable in connection therewith.
It is evident that those farms possessing the advantages
of running water and a good soil combined — and there are
but few in the county thus situated — are and will be of far
more value than those farms deficient in this particular.
Where water must be raised by pumps for stock purposes,
it adds no small item to yearly expenses^consequently de-
tracting from the value of a farm, when compared with one
possessing the advantage of living water. This may serve
to show why, in the valuations of land, we have placed the
Willow Slough farms in advance of others whose soil is
equally rich. There are other portions where the soil is as
rich and as deep — perhaps better for general farming —
but they lack the essential advantages enumerated above.
This body of land, though well watered, is safe from over-
flow — an exception to most of the lands bordering the
streams. The quality of soil which characterizes this sec-
tion is not confined to this locality, but extends for some
distance south and north of the slough, embracing some of
the best farming lands in the county. Of these we will
speak in other articles, beginning with the
Plainfield Farms.
Plainfield, or Plainfield Schoolhouse, is situated on the
north side of Dry Slough, seven and one-half miles south
from Woodland, in the midst of a very fertile portion of
the county. There are two blacksmith shops, one store,
and one saloon, on the south bank of the slough. As its
name indicates, the slough is but a dry ravine, excepting
during the prevalence of heavy rains, when it drains a large
tract of the plains of their surplus waters.
It is intended by the citizens adjacent to this place to
apply to the Department for the establishment of a post-
office at the Corners, on the south side of the slough. They
certainly need one at that point, as their nearest post-office
is Davisville, about five miles distant.
YOLO COUNTY. 65
That portion of tlie county commonl}' designated as
"Plainfield," and lying south of Dry Slough, possesses
man}^ of the advantages and peculiar properties which char-
acterize the Willow Slough lands. Though not possessing
the advantage of running water, these lands are easier sup-
plied with this needed element than the average grain lands
of the county.
The water is found very near the surface, a plentiful sup-
ply being obtained at from nine to twelve feet. An ordi-
narj, cheap windmill, in connection with a Douglass pump,
is found to be sufficient for all farming purposes and even
the watering of large bands of stock.
The soil of these lands is deep, the top dressing being
generally a gravelly, sandy loam, easily cultivated and in
ordinary seasons producing bountiful harvests. Wheat is
the principal production, but few, if any, of the farmers
raising more barley than is sufficient to feed their teams.
Summer-fallow is not resorted to in this section as much as
in many other parts of the county, for two reasons: 1st.
The natural looseness of the soil enables the farmers in this
locality to start their plows in the fall, when but little rain
has fallen — not enough to enable the farmers on clay land
to begin work. And again, when excessive rains have
rendered clay land too wet for immediate cultivation, these
lands are but little affected thereby, and it is seldom that
the plows cease running for that reason. The second rea-
son is, that a large part of the soil of the Plainfield lands
is very rich, and when fallowed before a favorable season
the grain grows so luxurious that it generally falls, or be-
comes "lodged," while the berry is in the milk, causing a
shrinkage of the kernel, besides entailing an additional
expense and loss in harvesting. Taking this part of the
county as a section, it is second to none in its resources or
in its productiveness. Some of the largest farms and
wealthiest farmers of the county are to be found in this
district.
G-reen's Ranch.
Among the farms located here, we mention that of
5
66 THE WESTEKN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Cliarles E. Green, as being one of the largest, and we
think the best improved, in this section. In improvements
it ranks second to no large farm in the county. It contains
twelve hundred and eighty acres of land, of superior qual-
ity, all inclosed with a five-board fence with redwood posts.
It is divided into several fields, containing, respectively,
ten acres, eighty acres, thirty acres, forty acres and four
hundred acres — the remainder of the farm being in one
large field. For the purpose of comparing the present
appearance of the county, or portions of it, with the past,
we will note the general appearance of this farm and com-
pare it with its appearance a few years since.
The first dwelling-house erected on the ranch is still
standing, a low, one-story, wooden structure, twelve by
twenty feet. In that house the first settler on the farm
lived for some years, while pursuing his labors, and doubt-
less considered that he had a very good and comfortable
mansion. It was also occupied by the present owner of
the farm before he felt himself able to improve the place
according to his ideas of comfort and convenience.
The dwelling-house now occupied by the family is a two-
story frame, twenty-four by seventy-two feet, with an L,
twenty-four by forty-eight feet; hard-finished and well fur-
nished throughout, and ornamented with front and rear
piazzas. A large and deep cellar, with brick walls and
floor, laid in cement, and brick foundation, complete the
lower division of the building. Eats or mice can find no
refuge around the building. By perfect ventilation the
cellar is kept cool and sweet, where the milk is kept in the
warmest weather, enabling them to make butter alike in
the warm or cool seasons. For the rainy or cool season, a
pantry above ground is used for dairy purposes, where the
temperature can be regulated, by artificial means, to any
required degree.
^" A rain-water cistern, brick, laid in cement, holding six
thousand gallons, receives the water from the house-roof,
and stores it, from whence it is raised by a pump as
needed. The stock of groceries and provisions to be seen

in the store-room is sufficient to furnish an ordinary gro-
cery store with more than an average stock.
In addition to the main dwelling, and but a few yards
from it, is the headquarters of the men employed on the
place. This building cost twelve hundred dollars, and has
ample accommodations for all employed — the sleeping
apartments being superior to those of many farmers' fami-
lies.
The main barn is sixty-four by ninety-six feet. The main
body of the building will 'store two hundred tons of hay,
besides containing the mill in which all the horse-feed and
hog-feed required are ground.
The stables have room for twenty-two horses, and are
light and airy.
The improvements on this place have cost about twenty
thousand dollars, including orchard and shade trees. Eight
hundred and fifty locust trees have been planted, and the
owner of the place intends to plant several acres more,
during the coming winter, as a future supply of wood and
also to break the force of the winds which at times do
much damage. There being no timber on this portion of
the plains, it becomes almost a necessity that timber be
grown; if not for its beauty and shade, the scanty supply
of wood demands it.
Where these improvements now are, twelve years ago the
plains were bare of aught save the little frame house we
referred to and a small shelter for stock. Twenty years
ago no signs of improvement or progressive life were vis-
ible. Mark the change, and draw your own inferences
regarding the rapid growth and development of Yolo
County.
Buckeye Grain Lands.
The farming lands of Buckeye Township are varied in
character and value — or, to use the common term, they are
"spotted." There are some of the best grain lands in the
county in that township, and some of the poorest. The
main body of grain land bordering the foot-hills and ex-
tending eastward is generally of excellent character until it
68 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
unites "witli the red gravel belt which extends through a
portion of this and Cottonwood townships. The general
character of the soil is very different from that which sur-
rounds Woodland, and the change is for the better, as far
as grain raising is concerned.
East of the Town of Buckeye the gravel, alkalied belt ap-
proaches within a few miles, cutting off the first-class grain
lands very abruptly. Southward the grain lands extend
unbroken until the border of the county, or Putah Creek,
is reached. Within this section are many valuable farms,
prominent among which is
Ely's Farm.
This farm contains fourteen hundred and sixty acres of
excellent grain land, all in cultivation. The soil is deep
and lively, partaking in a large degree of mountain wash
and deposits. It is the representative farm of the district,
and in ordinary seasons has thus far proved very pro-
ductive.
Briggs' Farm,
Near by, is also a noted place, and contains nine hundred
acres of grain land, all under cultivation. The general
character of the soil is the same as that just described. In
addition, this farm possesses the advantage of having a
large body of gi-azing lands connected with it, enabling the
proprietor to divide his investments between grain and
stock. These two farms may be taken as examples of the
best farms in the townShip or county. There are many
others of equal value according to size, but we do not think
of any others which combine the advantages of soil with
an equal or larger number of acres.
The grain lands of Buckeye which lie within the alkaline
belt are not of very large extent. Situated as they are,
they would be considered excellent by those accustomed to
cultivate the sterile, rocky soil of. the Eastern States. The
alkali spots are comparatively worthless, yet the soil sur-
rounding them produces equal to any. In some localities
i
YOLO COUNTY. 69
whole farms are rendered of little value by them; in others
but cue or two spots will be found on a farm.
The average grain yield of Buckeye is equal to any por-
tion, according to the number of acres cultivated — in fact,
when sections are considered, but little, if any, difference
of yield per acre is noted.
Cottonwood G-rain Lands.
The Township of Cottonwood comprises the northwest-
ern and part of the central portion of the county. The
quality of the grain lands is more equal, presenting but few
places where alkali beds are found. On the other hand,
the grain lands occupy more rolling, broken country than
we have hitherto described. Immediately surrounding the
Town of Cottonwood the land is excellent, though east-
erly it soon loses its characteristics, and is merged in
the belt of poor land which enters the township from that
direction. Southerly, the land is good until Buckeye
Township is reached — of which we have spoken. "Westerly,
the same quality of land extends, embracing the first low
range of foot-hills, many of which possess a very superior
soil. The general character of the soil is a gravelly loam
in the lower lands, a clayish loam in the more elevated
portions, with a clay subsoil supporting both sections.
Along the borders of the small creeks we find some farms
with soil composed entirely of mountain wash and sedi-
ment, rendering them very prominent among the first-class
farms.
Again, we find farms of clayish soil, thickly covered with
slight elevations or knolls, having a harder crust and pos-
sessing a colder nature, though yielding bountiful harvests.
The marked difference in the grain lands of this township
consists in these divisions, which are slight, when we con-
sider the strong contrast existing in other localities.
Another division should be noted — that caused hj Cache
Creek, which extends through the township. The borders
of this stream possess a soil similar to the river lands, though
not as deep or lasting. The gravel-beds which underlie it
70 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
are nearer the surface, and tlie loam partakes more of the
character of mountain wash than river deposits. In color
it assimilates with the river front, with but this difference —
a reddish-brown cast abounds, which is found only along
the banks of the mountain streams. The dark, rich tinge
of decayed vegetation is here as strongly defined as it is on
the banks of the Sacramento, with the addition of the de-
composed slate and granite of the hills.
As fair representative farms, perhaps among the best of
these three divisions, we will mention those of Scott,
Stephens and McFadyen.
W. G-. Scott's Farm
Contains about two thousand acres of grain land, all in cul-
tivation. The main portion of this grain land lies in one
body, southwest from Cottonwood, some two miles distant.
This farm presents many advantages, and several varieties
of soil. A portion of it belongs to the elevated jDortion of
the plains, while a part borders a creek, dry in the summer,
but of sufficient volume during the heavy rains to enable it
to overflow its banks and deposit large bodies of sediment,
enriching the land thus overflowed.
The advantage of a stock-range of several thousand acres
connected with this farm, renders it very valuable in this re-
spect. The grain land, as a body, presents but little differ-
ence in returns in favorable seasons; but, when drought
prevails, the lower sandy soils present a marked superiority
in their returns, as compared with the more elevated and
clayish soil.
This farm is but partially fenced, the grain land being
protected by the stock laws; but, considering its size, there
are few farms in the county better improved — none better
supplied with the implements of farming. The machinery,
wagons and stock, employed could not be placed there for
less than ten thousand dollars. A blacksmith and wagon
shop belong to the ranch, where all the farm work is at-
tended to. The average number of men employed is fif-
YOLO COUNTY. 71
teen; the average wages paid is thirty-two dollars and a half
per month.
G. D. Stephens' Farm.
This farm lies on both sides of Cache Creek, and contains
about four thousand acres. The main portion is excellent
grain land, well wooded and possessing a soil easy of culti-
vation. On the margin of the stream, the soil is deep and
very productive. A portion of the land, lying between this
belt and the lands of Kiethly, partakes of a colder nature,
being interspersed with alkali spots, and sedgy, adobe
patches. This is used for pasturage; also, a low portion
adjoining, on which the water stands at intervals during
heavy rains. For a large body of land, it may be consid-
ered very uniform in quality, and very valuable. It is all,
or nearly all, inclosed by a substantial fence, and other-
wise well improved. It is used as a stock and grain farm,
and could be made one of the best stock farms in the county.
McFadyen's Farm.
This farm, well known as the old Ben. Dennis place, lies
between the farms of Messrs. Scott and Stephens, and is
probably one of the most productive farms of its size in
that section of the county. It contains four hundred acres,
and is — all of it — formed from the deposits of Cottonwood
Creek. It is well wooded, having a large grove of noble
oaks — the largest of which are seven feet in diameter.
The made soil on this farm has been demonstrated to
exceed ten feet in depth, and in places it is deeper. Oak
stumps have been burned out which left pits ten, twelve
and even fifteen feet deep, before the walls showed a sign
to mark where a root had formerly sprang from the tree,
showing conclusively that the land had been made around
them to that depth. In productiveness, this farm is unri-
valed, and it deservedly is classed among the best in the
county.
From this short discription of three farms, representing
three varieties of grain lands, we can form a fair estimate
72 THE westeiIn shoee gazetteer.
of the country under consideration. It is true that a few
fiekls are found in this vicinity, the surface-soil of which is a
variety of adobe; but little known or understood excepting
that, in favorable seasons, it yields good returns of grain.
It is not like the vegetable compound, which is the main
ingredient in the adobe soils of the marshes; neither is it
similar in color or quality to the adobe hills found near by,
but rather seems to partake of the nature of sedimentary
deposits, beat back into its present position by long and
continued action of wind-driven waves. But of this we
propose to speak in another place.
Capay Valley.
This lovely valley is better known under the name of
Cache Creek Caiion — a name it bore until a few years since,
when it was christened by the name it now bears. The val-
ley has an average width of one mile, and a length of about
twenty miles — according to its windings. This body of
land is among the best grain lands of the county, and with
the adjoining hills furnishes many fine stock-farms. It is
well wooded and watered. Cache Creek extending through
its entire length. The main body of the valley is under
cultivation, and crops have been considered very safe and
sure in this locality, despite droughts and sudden changes.
It is sheltered, in a great measure, from the north winds,
which frequently do great damage to the crops on the more
exposed portions of the plains. But a few years since this
land was offered for sale at four dollars per acre. It now
rates at from eight to twenty, showing the rapid increase
in value of real estate in the county.
Hungry Hollow,
As a portion of Cottonwood Township is called, lies to the
westward of Cache Creek, bordering the foot-hills which
skirt that portion of the county. There are some excellent
farms in this vicinity, and we believe that the farmers of
this locality are entitled to the credit of having grown the
YOLO COUNTY. 73
best wheat in tlie county for tlie two last years. The gen-
eral character of the soil differs but little, if any, from the
main plains, of which the valley is but a continuance — an
arm of the vast body which covers so large a portion of
the county. The grain lands sweep away to and embrace
the low hills, presenting only this change in the general
appearance. There are places where the prevailing grav-
elly loam gives place to adobe mixture, but these changes
are neither frequent nor marked sufficiently to deserve es-
pecial mentioa. The available land in this section is all
claimed and mostly under cultivation. Within a few years
we may confidently expect this section to become one of
the wealthiest in the county.
Prairie Lands.
This body of land, lying north of Cacheville, ranks
among the iirst-class grain lands, possessing the general
characteristics of the land described and requiring no fur-
ther description. The same can be said of the body of
lands lying between the foot-hills and the tules, from
Knight's landing to the Colusa line. With few exceptions,
tlie suil is sandy or gravelly loam with clay subsoil, and
produces well. It is one vast grain-field, which, in the
summer, is one vast field of grain, and that is about all
the'dilt'erence worth mentioning. At Prairie, Antelope or
Dunnegan's, the same scene greets the eye, the same qual-
ity of soil appears and equal advantages for successful -
grain-culture are apparent.
Cache Creek Lands.
We have already referred to these lands when speaking
of Capay Yalley and Stephens' Ranch, and therefore we
will briefly glance at the grain lands around Cacheville.
Those fiirms bordering the creek aud possessing the advan-
tage of water are held at high figures. Tiiey are well
wooded, the soil is deep, strong and lasting. By many
the land about Cacheville is considered the best in the
74 THE WESTEBN SHORE GAZETTEER.
county ; it certainly possesses great advantages. This lo-
cality as well as Woodland possesses the advantages of
irrigation, a ditch having been constructed which conveys
the water of Cache Creek over the fields in that vicinity.
From what we have said regarding the grain lands of
the county an estimate may be made of the advantages of
each section; also the extent and value of the grain lands
of the county.
We will now glance at the principal
Dairy Farms.
The dairy interest is now attracting considerable atten-
tion in all parts of the State, and of late years several
citizens of Yolo County have turned their attention solely
to this branch of industry. Butter and cheese command a
good price and will for many years to come, sufficient to
render the business more remunerative than grain-raising,
taking one year with another. The average price obtained
for cheese is about seventeen cents per pound, though fa-
vorite brands often rate higher. A fair average of the
range of butter prices would be about forty-five cents,
though prices range from fifty to sixty and as high as sixty-
five cents per pound during the winter. Many of the
dairymen are adopting the plan of milking their cows in
the fall and winter months, when butter commands a high
price, and allowing them to become dry when the open-
ing of spring grazing brings a large number of competitors
in the field and the price of butter becomes reduced to
thirty or thirty-five cents per pound.
A very large sum finds its way to the East from our State,
annually, that might be retained here, would our farmers
but avail themselves of the advantages ofi'ered by Nature
in this respect.
It is evident that where the business is conducted sys-
tematically, dairying cannot fail of being profitable. When
we compare the prices obtained for butter and cheese (first
class) here with the price realized by Eastern dairymen for
their products, the proof in favor of the correctness of our
YOLO COUNTY. 75
proposition is ample. We are all well aware that tlie dairy-
counties of the Eastern States are the wealthiest portions
of those communities, and that the individuals composing
that class are far in advance of their neighbors of the same
localities who follow the more precarious occupation of
cultivating grain.
We have every natural facility for successful dairying,
with the sole exception of tame grasses; but this is easily
remedied in many localities, as has been demonstrated by
farmers near Woodland and on the Sacramento Eiver.
They have overcome this objection by seeding their lands
with alfalfa, which secures to them green pastures during
the year.
Besides this method of securing green feed, we have
large tule ranges which furnish green feed during the sum-
mer, when the hills and plains are parched and bare.
These fields are now occupied by bands of stock that
might readily be replaced by milch cows.
Along the Sacramento Kiver, Elk Slough, and the tules
bordering the grain lands, are several very fine dairy farms,
possessing the advantages of continual green feed, though
this is in a measure counteracted, in the minds of many,
by the danger to stock from floods; hence, they prefer the
foot-hill farms or ranges.
Green's Dairy,
Among these farms are some worthy of special mention,
as being noted for the excellence of their products, the
number of the cows milked, and the value of the locations.
The farm of J. B. Green, on the Sacramento River, in Mer-
ritt's Township, is peculiarly adapted to dairying, and its
natural advantages have been much improved by system-
atic cultivation. The grazing lands are situated on both
sides of the Sacramento River — a large portion of the farm
lying in Sacramento County. That portion which lies in
Yolo County is situated on the island formed by Elk Slough
and the river, and extends from the river to the slough, af-
fording abundance of water, independent of the tule swamps.
76 THE WESTEKN SHORE GAZETTEER.
A large portion of the rancli is covered with tule swamp,
which affords excellent range during the summer months.
The high lands along the river bank are protected by a
leyee, and a large portion of them are sown to alfalfa,
which produces luxuriantly. Here can be seen the advan-
tages of green feed and root feeding, as applied to milch
cows. Mr. Green depends on the winter trade principally,
hence his cows bring their calves in the fall. Through the
» fall and winter, when butter commands a high price, espe-
cially if it is yellow, fresh and sweet, he has a large share
of the market to himself, as but few of the dairymen are
similarly situated.
The garden land on his place produces squash and root
feed for his cows, while the alfalfa fields are. ever green and
inviting. If, as is sometimes the case, high water drives
his cows from the fields for a few days or weeks, the pro-
duce of the garden supplies the animals with nutritious food
suitable for their situation. By this means his stock is
healthy, and capable of producing an excellent qtiaiity of
butter, which at all times commands an extra price, be the
market ever so dull; for good table butter is not the rule in
this State, whatever it may be elsewhere. Eighty cows are
milked on this farm.
Cave's Dairy.
Mr. Cave, on Merritt's Island, has a fine dairy farm, also
well stocked with choice cows. He has the advantage of
green feed also, having fields of alfalfa as well as the tule
lands. The range is smaller than that of which we have
spoken, but it is not inferior in qualit3\ Butter is the
principal product, little or no cheese being made along the
river.
Other Dairies in Merritt's.
On the ranch of Mr. Chiles, a large dairy is kept, averag-
ing about forty cows. On this ranch alfalfa is grown on
the high lands. Following up the river, we find Messrs.
Trumpler, Babel, Payne and several others, engaged in
YOLO COUNTY. 77
dairying, to a greater or less extent. On Elk Slougli, Messrs.
Feeon, Goan, Hinclsdill and others, are working into the
same business, in connection with stock.
Choice Cows.
Mr. Curtis, eighteen miles below Washington, has a
choice lot of cows, which comprise selections from the best
stock in the county. The cows of Mr. Babel are principal-
ly Durham and rank second to none, and those who desire
to improve their stock should visit his ranch and examine
them.
Conrad's Farm.
From this locality to Washington we find several small
lots of cows, but none of any particular note, until we reach
the ranch of Mr. Conrad, one mile below AYashington.
Here is one of the best dairy farms on the river and we find
it occupied by a small but choice lot of cows. With a suf-
ficient stock, this farm could be one of the first dairy farms
in the county.
Eryte's Dairy.
About one mile above Washington is the dairy farm of
Mr. Bryte. One hundred cows are milked on this place,
the milk being sold in Sacramento City. This is a very
valuable farm, with a large extent of good pasturage. The
tules and river range supply green feed daring the greater
part of the season. Further up tlie river is the dairy of
Mr. Comstock, where a small and choice lot of cows are
kept and butter manufactured. The cattle range of this
farm partakes of the general characteristics meutioued — tule
and alfaii'a. We might enumerate several small lots along
the river, but enough has been rcentioned to show the gen-
eral character of the dairy farms along the river and the
quality of the stock.
Tule House Dairy.
Leaving the river, we will glance at the dairy of S. Enos,
at the old Tule House. From eighty to one hundred cows
f^ THE WESTERN SHOEE GAZETTEER.
are milked at this place. Tlie proprietor lias turned liis
attention to manufacturing cheese and has achieved an en-
viable reputation in that line. The cheese room and dairy
are well worth visiting by those who wish to be initiated in
the mysteries of cheese making. It is without doubt one
of the finest cheese dairies in the State and conducted in
the most systematic manner. The evidences of this fact
consist in the reputation established and the prices obtain-
ed for the products of the dairy. On this ranch the feed
of the cows during the summer is the tule range — nothing
but wild feed. In the winter the cows are removed to a
hill ranch in Buckeye Township, where their feed is the
wild hill grasses and wild oats. There is no alfalfa or tame
feed of any kind, yet as good an article of cheese is made
as can be purchased in the State or elsewhere.
S-wingle's Dairy.
About five miles from the Tule House Eanch is the dairy
farm of G. W. Swingle, at the sink of Putah Creek, where
one hundred cows are kept and butter manufactured. This
ranch also possesses the advantage of green feed, having a
large tule range.
Carey's Dairy.
Some three miles beyond Swingle's is the dairy of Mr.
Carey, where upwards of a hundred cows are kept and but-
ter manufactured. This ranch also possesses an extensive
tule range, affording ample green feed for the stock. These
are among the largest dairies located along the river and
on the swamp lands, with the exception of the
G-rand Island Dairies.
On this island there are three dairies, owned as follows :
J. P. Bullock, sixty-six cows ; Gwinn & Long, one hun-
dred ; Hanna, thirty. These dairies are all engaged in
butter-making and meeting with deserved success. The
stock is also fed on the tule marshes.
YOLO COUNTY. *t^
Scott's Dairy.
From tliese lands we will glance at some of tlie hill dairy
farms and then leave the subject. In Buckeye Township,
we find several small lots of cows, kept for dairying pur-
poses. C Scott, near Cottonwood, has a choice lot of
twenty cows, from which he manufactures both butter and
cheese, according to the season. His range is the wild
feed and wild oats of the surrounding hills, yet he finds no
difficulty in preparing an excellent article of butter, thus
demonstrating that, with proper care, the quality of butter
or cheese is not impaired by the wild grasses indigenous
o California.
It may be well to consider whether the introduction of
foreign grasses suitable for dairy stock is essential to suc-
cessful butter-making ; but, whether it be so or otherwise,
it is evident that econony demands a change for the better,
if such be possible. Under another heading, this subject
will be considered more in detail.
The number of dairy or milch cows in the county is
three thousand three hundred and thirty, valued at one
hundred and sixty-six thousand five hundred dollars. The
value of the dairy product is one hundred thousand dol-
lars.
The Grazing
Interest of the county next claims our attention. As the
matter now stands, this interest is mainly confined to the
tule marshes, the foot-hills and mountains. The tules
present the best summer range, the hills are better adapt-
ed to winter and spring grazing. But little space on the
grain lands is occupied by stock, owing to several causes,
chief of which is the fence law, which provides that stock-
men shall guard their stock. In accordance with this law,
it becomes necessary for stock-men to either guard their
stock or fence their ranges. The former method being
very uncertain, the latter very expensive, the plains were
gradually given up to grain-culture and the stock sought
the tules and mountains.
80 THE WESTEBN SHORE GAZETTEER.
The grazing lands of the county are all claimed or occu-
pied. There is a vast range of unsuryeyed lands in the
mountains, but, owing to the fact that enterprising men
have entered the land lying along and commanding the wa-
ter courses and springs, it is of no value or use to any one
but those owners.
The main reliance for feed in the hills is wild oats, which
grow luxuriantly in the first ranges. In tiie smail valleys
and along the water courses, a species of clover grows in
great abundance. The hiilaides produce very early feed,
which becomes ripe and dry about the first of June, in
which state it retains its nourishment, possessing the prop-
erties of well-cured hay. In favorable locations in the
mountains the stock do well throughout the year. Sach
has been the case heretofore, with the exception of the re-
markable droughts of '63-4.
On the plains, or portions of them, the wild oats would
thrive remarkably, were it not for the continual plowing to
wdiich they are subjected. Clover, salt-grass and bunch-
grass, with a few other varieties, form the body of indige-
nous grasses of the State, and thus the plains of Yolo County
present no exception to the rule. The yield of natural grass
per acre averages about one-fourth the amount of feed real-
ized from the average Eastern grazing farms. We do not
include the tule marches, which present a better showing in
quantity, if not in quality. The grazing lands of tiie county,
if properly reclaimed and seeded, would provide sustenance
for a body of stock far larger than they now support. In-
cluding as they do a large part of tiie county (three hun-
dred and sixty thousand acres), it is evident to all that they
could and should be made to provide a large share of .the
county's wealth. Were they in the proper condition for
pasturage, the stock interest would soon oitt weigh ail others,
and the county would be rich in the herds alone. As it
now is, the grazing is barely sufficient to maintain stock for
home use. In this connection we will consider the value of
a clover, still but little known or caltivated.
YOLO COUNTY. 81
Alfalfa.
It has been but a few years since this clover came under
consideration in this State, yet it is already creating con-
siderable attention among stock-growers and dairy-men. It
forms the only green feed we have during the dry season,
apart from the tiile marshes. Farmers are rapidly adox3t-
ing it in various j)arts of the county, and already look upon
it as being indispensable to the future prosperity of stock-
growers. It is claimed for this clover that it is perennial,
furnishing an equal amount of green feed in wet and dry
seasons. It will yield as much or more feed on one acre of
ground as is produced from six acres of the natural grasses.
It will yield in hay an amount equal to six acres of natural
grass, and many claim to cut as much hay from one acre of
alfalfa as can be cut from ten acres in a wild state. Ten
tons to the acre of alfalfa, when well rooted, is not uncom-
mon, while an acre of natural hay rarely gives over one ton.
We have visited several beautiful fields of alfalfa lately,
among which was the field of N. Wyckoif, Esq., near Wood-
land, who has devoted much time to experimenting with
this clover, and now has about sixty acres, as green and
thrifty now (August 20th) as in the early spring when the
ground was saturated wHh water. A portion of this — about
fifteen acres — is kept .or seed; the remaining portion is
used for pasturage.
We will chronicle his experience, as that is of far more
interest and value to our readers than any crude observa-
tions of our own. First, regarding the necessary qualifi-
cations of the soil : It should be deep, loose and strong,
allowing the root to strike deep enough to reach perpetual
moisture, to assure a good stand or growth. This requisite
obtained, the ground should be carefully tilled, summer
fallowed, if necessary to remove all foul weeds. The seed
should be sown in the spring, and with no other crop, from
fifteen to twenty pounds being sown to the acre. Great
care should be taken in securing seed free from foul weeds,
and otherwise of good quality. When the stand has reached
6
82 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
a height of eight or ten inches, feeding can commence with-
out injury to the plant, if not fed so close that the roots are
injured. It seems to grow more rapidly in the very warmest
"weather, and to be insensible to the ills which affect other
grasses in seasons of drought. During the month of June
last, when the thermometer ranged from one hundred de-
grees upward, the clover in the fields spoken of gi'ew with
marvelous rapidity. It seemed to delight in the excessive
heat and take a new growth, covering the ground with a
carpet of green that contrasted most favorably with the dry,
parched fields adjoining. The amount of hay on the ground
uncut was estimated by Mr. AVyckoff at five tons per acre.
When cut for hay, four crops are easily gathered in one sea-
son, and the fields are then pastured through the fall and
winter. Yv^hen grown for the seed, the fields are fed until
the middle of April, and then two crops of seed are gath-
ered, and the stock again turned on. From eight acres of
clover in 1869, Mr. Wyckoff secured about five tons of seed,
which sold readily for twenty-fi\e cents per pound. From
the same ground he will harvest six tons of seed this sea-
son. He has been at great pains to secure perfectly clean
seed, and has met with entire success. His arrangements
for threshing and cleaning are brought to perfection, and
the increased demand for the seed evinces the regard in
which it is held, as compared wi^i the imported article.
This season the price has been fixed at twenty cents per
pound, and a large supply will be kept there for home use.
In connection with this, we gathered many interesting
facts regarding the culture of this plant, which we cannot
refrain from giving a place in these pages. The clover that
he cuts for seed paid him three hundred dollars -per acre,
before he made a specialty of it. He is now (August 15tli)
harvesting his first crop, which will yield three tons of seed.
Other lands which were pastured yielded him seventy-five
dollars per acre for the season. He estimates that one acre
of this land in alfalfa will sustain as much stock as ten
acres, when in its natural state, or with any other species
of feed that can be successfull}^ grown in this climate.
He first experimented with it in '55-6, but owing to the
YOLO COUNTY. 83
seed beiug foul lie abandouecl those fields and replowed
tliem. Noticing the fondness of the stock for the few
bunches that would not be killed, he concluded to try it
again, being convinced that it was just the thing for dry
seasons and stock . Some of the planting of '55 still re-
mains, despite the continual wheat culture, annually reaching
a growth of five feet and upward in height, showing that
it is worthy of its German name — "Everlasting Clover."
It shows moreover that when it once has taken root, it is
extremely hard to eradicate, but continiies to increase from
year to year. Around Woodland are many fields of from
one to fifty acres in extent, the owners of which speak in
the highest terms of its value. About twelve hundred acres
were seeded during the last spring, and the number will be
largely increased this coming seeding season.
The successive cropping of wheat, as practiced by the
farmers, has seriously impoverished their lands in many
instances, and will eventually tell on the strongest soils.
Aware of this, many are preparing for a change, and will
proceed to plant alfalfa in lieu of grain, not alone for the
profit, but to enrich their lands.
This clover, called by many Chile Clover, has long been
grown with marked success in Chile. We have seen vast
fields of it there, on soil similar — perhaps inferior — to thou-
sands of acres in this county. With a climate similar to
that, we have the same or gi-eater advantages otherwise
necessary to insure success. In that state it has almost
entirely superseded all native grasses. It is supposed by
many that it is a native of Chile, but this is an error. It is
a native of Southern Europe, where it is known under the
name of Lucerne, from a canton in Switzerland, where we
first learn of it.
In a paper read before the American Institute Farmers'
Club, by Mr. Curtis, we find the following description of
the clover, in which the reader who is at all acquainted
with alfalfa will recognize it at once. Mr. Curtis, in expa-
tiating on the value of this plant for soiling, says :

Soutliern Europe, requires, to perfect itself, more sunsliine
and warmth; but tliis peculiarity can be remedied, to a
considerable extent, by a ricli soil, a warm exposure and
stimulating manures. When furnished with these advan-
tages its rapid growth and the amount of Lucerne which
can be taken off from a small piece of ground is most as-
tonishing — from four to six crops being cut in one season
from the same land. For ilesh-forming and nutritive ele-
ments it is superior to red clover, containing 50.7 parts to
41.2 in clover. Like clover, it covers the ground with a
dense shade, thus enriching the soil, while the roots strike
down into the subsoil to the depth of several feet, defying
drought and leaving the land in admirable condition for
subsequent cultivation. Lucerne resembles clover in ap-
pearance, with a smaller leaf, and if left to ripen has a
more woody stem. I would not recommend it to take the
place of clover for general purposes; but I do most em-
phatically indorse it for a soiling plant, to meet the great
want of the dairy-man and stock-breeder. For horses it
has special merits — not being soft and washy, they are not
liable to scour on it. It is perennial; once get it rooted,
and with a clean soil it will thrive for years, yielding its
successive burdens of richness. The seed is larger than
clover seed, and when ripe and fresh, glossy and yellow,
as the sample shows. They can be obtained of any first-
class dealer at fifty cents per pound. The crop may be
sowed with grain — rye being the best — but it is preferable
to sow it alone, from eight to ten pounds per acre."
Mr. Curtis was writing for another people and gave the
experience of another climate ; therefore, a portion of his
remarks cannot apply to the cultivation of Lucerne or
alfalfa here. We quoted them, however, to show the esti-
mation in which the plant is held in the East, where the
finest qualities of clovers and grasses arrive at perfection ;
also to show that alfalfa and Lucerne are one and the same,
having its origin elsewhere than on the American Conti-
nent. Germans readily recognize it as their "Everlasting
Clover," and the Swiss welcome it as the Lucerne of their

native valleys, wliere it is lield in tlie liigliest estimation
both as a fertilizer and soiling plant.
Thousands of acres in this county are peculiarlj^ adapted
to its growth, and vast wealth could be added to the county
by turning these scantily-clad fields into alfalfa pastures.
It must prove itself of immense value, as long as fresh-
green feed is considered essential to successful dairying
and stock-raising. Ere long many of the worn wheat-fields
must be abandoned, unless sooner planted to that which
will enrich, not impoverish them ; and this plant seems to
be the article required.
Creeks and Sloughs.
The water-courses of the county, aside from the river,
are divided into creeks, sloughs and arroyos. The prin-
cipal creeks are: Cache Creek, Putah Creek, Cottonwood
Creek, Dry Creek and Buckeye Creek.
The principal sloughs are Sutter, Elk, Babel, Willow and
Sycamore sloughs.
There are several deep arroyos, among which are : Salt
Arroyo, Pine Arroyo (or Canon), and several others having
local names, and others that are nameless.
The Arroyos
«
Are deep mountain ravines — torrents in winter and dry in
summer, with the exception of the few springs and pools
found at intervals along their beds.
Salt Arroyo rises in the first range of high hills, or
mountains, on Scott's Eanch, in Buckeye Township, and
empties its winter's floods into Buckeye Creek.
Pine Canon rises in the same range and on the same
ranch, emptying its waters into Salt Arroyo. There are
several arroyos heading in to the same range of hills,
which, coursing northward, reach Cache Creek, well up in
Capay Valley. The springs found in their beds serve as
watering places for stoc"k, there being but few found else-
where in this range of hills.
86 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
* Deep Arroyo.
This arroyo, or slough, heads in the southeast corner of
Buckeye Township, and follows a northeast course for
about eight miles. It probably connected with Willow
Slough at one time, and is doubtless the old bed of Buck-
eye Creek. It is known as " Dry Slough, " in Plainfield,
where it approaches Willow Slough.
About one mile from Putah Creek, and extending paral-
lel with it for about three miles, is another arroyo, or
slough, possessing many of the remarkable features of
Willow Slough, such as large ponds of fresh, pure and cold
water, fed, doubtless, from the same source.
"Willow Slough.
This remarkable stream differs from all others within the
county, inasmuch as its waters are supplied by springs
clear and cold as those flowing from the mountain gorges.
It first makes its appearance on the farm of Abram Barnes,
about nine miles southwest from Woodland, rising from a
large spring, or pond, whose waters cover an area of per-
haps one-fourth of an acre. From this spring, or pond, a
succession of pond-holes occur for about six miles, united
with each other only during the rainy season. The general
course of the stream is southwest until it reaches Grayson's
Eanch, m here its course is about due east for two miles
further.
At Grayson's, the springs, or pond-holes, become more
numerous, and are united at all seasons — in summer, by a
shallow rivulet, in places ten to fifteen feet wide. From
Grayson's east two miles we come to the head of the slough
proper, near Merritt's Bridge, where it deflects to the
north, and, following a northeasterly course, discharges its
waters in the tule marshes, about fifteen miles from the
first large spring mentioned, including the sinuosities of its
course.
At Merritt's Bridge, or near there, the first large body
of water begins, and extends in one unbroken sheet — aver-
YOLO COUNTY. 87
aging about fifty yards in width — for a distance of two and
one-lialf miles. Its greatest depth, so far as has been
ascertained, is seventy -five feet, and in no place is it less
than from six to ten feet. As a general rule, the banks are
abrupt and the bed composed of gravel.
Two and one-half miles from the bridge the slough passes
through Dr. Ruddock's Ranch, where the main body of
water is divided by a riffle of about one hundred and
eighty or two hundred rods in length. In this distance the
water falls several feet, there being a fall of nearly or quite
eight feet on the Doctor's place.
At the foot of the riffle the slough again assumes the'
proportions of a river, and continues so for about two and
one-half miles further, or until it reaches Ryon's Crossing,
nearly east from Woodland. This second division has the
same general appearance attributed to the division already
described, though it lacks some of the charms which char-
acterize the other.
From Ryon's Rancli toward the tules, its fair proportions
are somewhat curtailed, the character of its bed and banks
materially changed, owing to the different kinds of soil
through which it passes; and thence through the marshes
the slough presents but little of interest or beauty. Pass-
ing by the lower division, we will briefly glance at the two
portions separated by the riffle. These two large bodies
of water are clear, cold, and well supplied with many varie-
ties of fish. In bathing in the stream, one finds the pres-
ence of large and strong currents of chilly water — so cold,
in fact, that during the warmest part of the season the tem-
perature of the whole body is too cold for pleasure a few
feet beneath the surface; and if a vessel be sunk to any
considerable depth, the water so obtained will be found
cold as the mountain springs.
The volume of water passing over the riffle at Dr. Rud-
dock's place will probably reach one hundred thousand
gallons in twenty-four hours at the lowest stage of water.
From this, one can form some idea of the number and size
of the springs which supply this remarkable stream. That
the sources of supply have not their origin in the land
88 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
immediately surrounding or bordering on the slough, is
evident from tlie vast difference observable between the
taste and properties of the water obtained by boring, or
that which is taken from the slough. The water obtained
from wells — and especially those at some distance from the
slough — is hard, heavily charged with minerals, and in
some instances brackish and saline, while the waters of the
slough are the reverse. It is evident that the numerous
springs which are to be found at intervals along both
banks of the slough take their rise far away — their hidden
channels being above the present water-line of the sur-
rounding plains.
These curious springs have been the cause of many
conjectures, arguments and theories regarding their real
source, as by that is determined the source of Willow
Slough. By some tliey are supposed to belong to the gen-
eral body of water underlying the plains around Woodland,
at an average depth of about fifteen feet; but this theory is
untenable, as has been shown by the vast difference in the
qualities of the two divisions of water. Another and more
reasonable theory is, that Willow Slough is the continua-
tion of Cottonwood Creek, which, in summer, sinks at the
foot of the hills, some eighteen miles west from the first
springs, or pond-holes. And yet again another theory gives
to Cache Creek the credit of furnishing Willow Slough
with its limpid waters. That Cache Creek has at various
times had other than its present channel is evident. Old
beds are plainly discernible in several places, and other
channels have been found beneath the surface, when sink-
ing wells, that gave no evidence of their presence by the
formation of the upper soil. From the first pond, on
Barnes' Ranch, to the old El Dorado Eancli, on Cache
Creek, the evidences of the old creek bed are numerous
and plain. The distance — some eight or nine miles — is
marked at intervals with beds of gravel and deposits of
sand stratas, and at points the old banks have not been
entirely obliterated. The level character of the country,
and the fact that the volume of water materially decreases
from the time that it leaves the canon and debouches on
YOLO COUNTY. 89
tlie plains, lends additional strength to the theory. In the
summer the waters of Cache Creek disappear at intervals,
or sink in the sand; and it is but reasonable to suppose
that they follow the old channels far beneath the present
surface. The hidden waters of Cottonwood Creek doubt-
less mingle with those of the larger stream, whose under-
ground currents are not affected by the change of seasons.
During high water, when the heavy rains have swollen
Cottonwood Creek to the dimensions of a powerful stream,
and Cache Creek to a formidable river, their waters are
united in the overflow, and Cache Creek discharges a large
volume of water through the Cottonwood Plains, which
finds an outlet to the tules through Willow Slough. At
such times the slough is a mighty river, bearing on its tur-
bulent bosom driftwood from the mountains, as well as
fences which have been swept from the surrounding plains.
When the floods have subsided, and Cache Creek has set-
tled down within its regular channel, and Cottonwood
Creek does not venture further than the shadows of the
hills, Willow Slough resumes its placid expression, and re-
mains with unchanged aspect until the floods again visit it.
During one of these periodical floods, in March, 1847,
Joe Buzzy got into his canoe at the north door of Sutter's
Fort and sailed through the tules and up Willow Slough
to Gordon's Eanch, on the north side of Cache Creek,
meeting no greater obstructions than the strength of the
current. Along the slough, or the two large bodies of
water composing the main portion, the banks are well
wooded, the trees and undergrowth thickly interlaced with
wild grape and other vines, forming a pleasant, shady re-
treat, where one can enjoy the sport of angling to his
heart's content.
The fish, with which the stream is well furnished, con-
sists of pike, chub, dace, sunfish and a species of perch,
very palatable and easy of capture. No trout is found in
the stream, though it is evident that they could be culti-
vated to great advantage, especially the Lake Tahoe varie-
ty. Fish have been taken from the slough weighing five
pounds, though the average are much smaller. No effort,
90 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
as we have learned, lias been made to demonstrate wlietlier
the slough contains large fish, though there is every indi-
cation that such is the case. The depth of the water,
rarely disturbed by natural or artificial agencies, is favor-
able in the extreme to the various kinds of California fish
which are invariably found on the bottom of deep streams,
their habits never bringing them within range of shallow
fishing.
On the farm of Dr. Kuddock, which embraces the rip-
ple and the lower end of the first large body of water,
are some very singular springs or wells, situated at some
distance from the main slough and separated therefrom by
high, firm grain land. These wells are circular in form,
about sixty feet in diameter and three in number. Tlieij'
depth has never been ascertained, but it is known thafe
they reach at least to the level of the bottom of the slough,
by which they are doubtless fed with water. These wells
are supplied with fish, some of them being very large, of
the same varieties as those foand in the main stream. The
general appearance of these wells is similar to the far-
famed Humboldt wells, while the water is much superior
to the taste and for all uses. To those who imagine the
plains present no objects of curiosity or interest worth ex-
amining we would recommend a visit to Willow Slough
and the natural wells on Dr. Euddock's farm, premising
that, having done so, their minds would be disabused of
their first and erroneous impression.
The sinuosities of the slough probably extend it to about
fifteen miles in length, that is, that portion which is com-
prised within the limits spoken of — the first large spring and
its final discliarge into the tule swamp. For the distance
it abounds in pleasing features^murmuring rivulets, deep
and broad sheets of water, shady nooks and cosy, vine-
laced bowers. A sail on the waters or a plunge in their
cool and bracing depths will well repay one for visiting
this locality.
At certain seasons of the year the wild duck can be
found here in great numbers, as well as different varieties
of the wild goose. At no season of the year is the slough
YOLO COUNTY. 91
destitute of ducks, but tlie wild goose only remains tlirougli
the rainy season.
The value and importance of a body of water like that of
Willow Slough can hardly be overestimated, especially so
when we consider the general absence of pure, living sur-
face Avater on the plains of this and other counties of the
State. There is enough flowing over the ritSe to supply
two or three such towns as Woodland with pure, sweet,
wholesome water, and, should that supply prove inade-
quate to the demand, nature has provided reservoirs which
are capable of supplying half the county with water during
the dry season. Perhaps, when Woodland shall have at-
tained to the dignity of an incorporated city, and counts
her inhabitants by thousands instead of hundreds, she will
look toward this point as the source from whence she will
draw a supply of wholesome water with which to provide
for her population's -comfort.
Elk Slough.
This slough is one of the outlets of the tule marshes,
and is supplied entirely from their waters. During the
summer there is no running water in it, and then it pre-
sents a series of long, deep ponds, unconnected with each
other. The head of the slough approaches the river near
the brick school-house, about nineteen miles below Wash-
ington. After various meanderings, and having main-
tained a southerly course, it reaches the river near the
head of Sutter Slough, about six miles from its source.
Along both banks of the slough is a narrow strip of garden
and grain land, varying in width from fifty 3'ards to one-
half a mile. Between the river and the slough the tule
marshes are shallow and could readily be reclaimed. Be-
yond the slough the marshes are deep, the water standing
in large bodies all the season. This portion of the tules
will probably remain in its present state for many years,
and it is extremely doubtful whether any eflbrt will ever be
made to reclaim it.
The principal occupation of those who reside on the
92 THE WESTEKN SHORE GA2ETTEEE.
slough, is stock-raising and dairying. But little grain is
grown and but few gardens cultivated. Messrs. Hindsdill,
KruU and Waterbury are engaged in dairying on a mod-
erate scale. Furtliei' down the slough we find the King
brothers, engaged extensively in stock. They also possess
some fine grain fields. Still further down are several small
ranches, where excellent crops of barley were raised this
season.
At the ranch of Mr. Feran, where the arable belt is very
narrow, we find an extensive aviary. Mr. Feran informs us
that bees thrive exceedingly well when located on any part'
of the high lands bordering the slough. The dense under-
growth bordering its banks, the multitude of wild flowers
and vines with which the undergrowth abounds, and the
vast tule marshes filled with water plants, vines and flowers,
afford a luxuriant harvest to the tiny laborers. At certain
seasons of the year the honey-dew is deposited in large
quantities on the belt of upland, affording another source
from which they gather their sweet stores. There is some-
thing singular and at present unexplainable regarding the
annual fall of this remarkable dew. We do not know of
this phenomena existing elsewhere than in California, and we
have never learned of any satisfactory reason for its annual
appearance. Perhaps some of our savans will investigate
the matter, and advance some theory regarding its origin.
The honey-dew is found on the banks of the main sloughs
of the , river, also on the Sacramento, San Joaquin, and
other rivers of the State, after they have entered the vast
plains which form the great inland basin of California. The
same feature may . exist elsewhere in the State and out
of it, for aught we know to the contrary; but if so, we have
seen no mention made of the fact.
The wild blackberry grows in great profusion along both
banks of the slough, attaining the finest flavor of any we
have seen in the State. Thousands of gallons are annually
gathered here and along the river for the Sacramento and
San Francisco market, where they find ready sales and fair
prices. It is probable that a jjrofitable source of industry
could be inaugurated by cultivating and improving the wild
YOLO COUNTY. 93
blackberry. The fruit arrives at maturity in its wild state
in advance of any of the varieties now cultivated, and
doubtless careful cultivation would improve both the qualitj^,
quantity and the time of maturity. The experiment is cer-
tainly worth trying.
Bable's Slough.
This slough connects the tule v/itli the Sacramento Eiver,
having its outlet in the marshes, about five miles from
Bable's Eanch, where it leaves the river. Its course is
southAvest for about half its length, when it turns to the
southeast, and follows that course until lost in the marshes.
Along its banks are some good grazing, and, in ordinary
seasons, grain farms. The breadth of land is wider than
that of Elk Slough, though its average height is less, sub-
jecting it more frequently to overflow. As it approaches
the river, the land rises considerably, and at the river the
banks have never been submerged. On the fifteenth of May,
1849, Mr. F. Babel settled at this point, and has remained
there since. He was the first settler in this part of the
county, and from him the slough derives its name. It
has long been a noted point on the river— one of the old
land-marks which has not changed with the intervening
years. The old sycamore tree fronting the farm house can
be seen for a long distance either way from the decks of the
passing steamers. At the foot of this old sycamore, the
bodies of two men were recovered, who were drowned in
the floods of '62, and their bodies were buried near the
roots of the old monarch of the river.
The floods which have at times swept over the low lands
have never reached the high ground on which the buildings
are situated, though portions of the farm have been sub-
merged.
The land here, as well as that along the slough, is adapted
to stock, and the ranchers in this locality follow this occupa-
tion. Babel's Eanch, Ristine's Eanch, and that of the Du
Bose Brothers (further up the river), are fine stock farms,
and some of the best stock in the county is found there.
94 THE WESTERN SHORE G.\ZETTEER.
Islands.
lu coiiuectiou with tlie lauds bordering tliese slouglis, we
will give a short description of one of the largest islands in
the county, formed by one of the streams which we have
named and the river. We refer to
Merritt's Island.
This island, from which Merritt Township takes its name,
is formed by Sutter aud Elk sloughs and the Sacramento
Eiver. It is bounded on the south by Sutter Slough, west
and north by Elk Slough, and on the east by the Sacra-
mento River. Elk Slough is filled, or partially so, at each
end, and has no running water in the summer. Sutter
Slough is a large arm of the river, but, owing to snags and
other obstructions, is unnavigable.
Merritt's Island may be considered as the extreme south-
ern part of the county, some few farms, however, lying on
the other side of Sutter Slough. There are a few farms
lying w^est of Elk Slough and on the northwestern bank
of Sutter Slough that are as far to the southward as the
southern end of Merritt's Island, and one or two extend
a little below the southern line. By the river road from
the extreme southern end of the island to Woodland is
about forty-five miles, owing to the tortuous course of
the river, whose banks present the only high ground on
which a road could be located.
The island is about eight miles long, with an average
width of two miles. Along the river, which has nearly a
north and south course at this particular point, the garden,
or high land, has an average width of about seventy rods,
which is protected by a substantial levee, over which the
highest floods have not risen. On Elk Slough the island
has a frontage of high land, averaging about thirty rods in
width, unprotected by a levee. The intervening land, be-
tween the slough and river, is a shallow tule swamp, in
which but little water stands during the summer, affording
excellent range for stock of all kinds. This land is very
YOLO COUNTY. 95
productive, when cultivated, and were it reclaimed its
value could hardly be overestimated. The island contains
four thousand nine hundred and fifty-three acres, of which
about three thousand are in tule.
During the dry year, when grain crops were almost a
total failure through the county, Mr. Green broke a portion
of this tule with three horses, and planted it to barley on
the twenty-eighth of April. The yield was forty bushels
to the acre. A plan is now under consideration by which
the island may be reclaimed; and the project is certainly
feasible. It is proposed to segregate the island from the
district in which it is located, and create of it a separate
swamp land district. Then, by leveeing on Elk and Sutter
sloughs, joining the river levees at each' Snd of the island,
the back-water (which now causes the overflow) could be
kept out and the whole body of the land be reclaimed.
Whether this will be accomplished is probably simply a
question, of time, as most of the land-owners are in favor
of the measure. The expense would be heavy, but the
increased value of the land would more than compensate
for the outlay. The island was settled in 1851, by J. B.
Green, Mr. Cave and several others — some of whom still
remain in their origin9,l locations.
While speaking of islands, it may be well to glance at
Grand Island,
The largest island in the county limits, and one of the
largest in the Sacramento River. About twelve or fifteen
miles in length of this island lies within the county limits,
the remainder in Colusa County. It possesses a luxuriant
soil, suitable for grain, orchards, gardens or grazing. The
more elevated portions of the island are devoted to grain
growing, the remainder to stock ranges. Some very fine
orchards are on the island — one within the limits of Co-
lusa County, of grand proportions.
Sycamore Slough

96 THE WESTERN SHOEE GAZETTEER.
the main bed in Colusa County, to find it again near
Kuiglit's Landing or Grafton. About fifteen miles of its
course are within the borders of this county, the larger
portion of which lies through tule marshes. During the
season of high water, the slough is full and strongly de-
fined, but during the summer there is no running water in
its course. It does not possess high banks, like Elk or
Babel Slough, with the exception of that portion near
Knight's Landing, where are some splendid furms along its
course.
Cache Creek.
This beautiful stream has its source in Clear Lake, Lake
County. F¥o«* pnence it flows southeast, through Cache
Creek Canon for twenty miles, until it reaches the head of
Capay Valley. Continuing its southeast course for about
fifteen miles, it then turns to the eastward, and five miles
from this point leaves Capay Valley and debouches on the
plains. From Lang's its course is south of east for a few
miles, or to the east end of the Gordon Grant, where it
turns to the northward and, following a general northeast
course, enters the tule swamps near Laugenour's Eanch,
the "sink" being about twenty miles from where it left
Capay Valley.
For the first twenty miles, through Cache Creek Caiion,
the scenery is quite grand and impressive. Flowing
through a rugged range of mountains, cleft asunder, as it
were, from top to bottom, it presents precipitous walls of
solid slate and granite bare of verdure, while, on either
hand, the gulches and ravines which occasionally force
their way through the solid walls, dark and gloomy in their
wild grandness, are lined with a dense growth of chapar-
ral. This is a favorite haunt for deer, beai? and other
game, who roam free and undisturbed in this wild region.
The hunter rarely troubles them with his presence, and the
canon is as free from the settler's influence to-day as it was
when Mr. Gordon first ascended its rocky bed, thirty years
ago. The stream is well suj)plied with fish of excellent
varieties, but we note the absence of the mountain trout.
YOLO COUNTY. 97
Tliere is an abundance of water-power, wliicli at some day
will be turned to good account in driving macliinerj.
Through Capay Valley the stream winds among giant
oaks, which dot vast fields of grain in inviting groves and
pleasant retreats from the summer's scorching sun.
Without doubt the loveliest part of Yolo County is Capay
Valley, when clothed with the verdure of spring and enliv-
ened by the murmuring waters of Cache Creek, which
meanders through it- at this tim e of the year a formidable
river.
At the mouth of Capay Valley, or at Lang's, is the Hun-
gry Hollow Ford, w^hich is considered safe at most seasons
of the year. Below this place are several fords at intervals,
and at Cacheville and Nelson's RancJi are substantial
bridges.
During the season of drought the creek bed is dry at
intervals on the plains, owing to the water ditches which
deploy the main volume of water from its natural bed,
and to the general sinkage of the water in the sands. Still
there is enough for stock purposes, standing in pools or
springs. It also supplies the following
Agricultural Ditches.
There are three ditches located on Cache Creek, two of
Avhich are completed and in use :
The Cacheville Agricultural Ditch heads on the north
side of the creek, about five miles above Cacheville. This
ditch is used for irrigation and also as the motive power of
the Cacheville flour mills. Value, five thousand dollars.
The Woodland Agricultural Ditch, or Moore's Ditch,
taps the creek on the south side, about ten miles, from
Woodland. This ditch is used solely for irrigation, cover-
ing that section of the county around Woodland and lying
between that point and the creek. Value, ten thousand
dollars.
Stephens' Ditch, which taps the creek on the south side,
well up in Capay Valley, would afford water for a large
7

scope of country around Cottonwood. This ditch has been
partially completed, but, owing to the loss of the dam by
floods, it is at present unused and unvalued.
Putah Creek.
This stream rises in Big Canon, Lake County, about
twelve miles from the source of Cache Creek, and follows
in a southerly direction for several miles, when it turns
to the eastward, and, after traversing a portion of Napa
County, forms the southern boundary of Yolo County for
about thirty miles, when it sinks in the tule marshes at
Montgomery's Ranch, in Putah Township, about eighty
miles from its source.
The headwaters of Putah Creek, in Big Canon, rise in
one large spring, which gushes out from the mountain side
about fifty feet above the bed of the gulch, clear, cold and
sparkling as the waters of the Sierras. The volume of
water measures two hundred and fifty inches, and is secured
in ponds, ditches and reservoirs, forming Roberts' Trout
Farm.
The canon is alive with mountain trout, the larger of
Avhich reach a M-eight of three pounds. From this spring,
through Big Canon, the scenery is grand, wild and rugged.
The mountains are covered with pine and oak, and a favor-
ite resort for various kinds of wild animals, deer and bear
predominating. After entering Putah Caiion the stream is
increased in volume by the addition of several minor
creeks, though at no time does it average in size with
Cache Creek.
During the winter rains the creek rises very suddenly,
often overflowing its banks and sweeping everything before
it; but these floods last but for a few davs, and often but
for a few hours. The water-shed of this creek is much less
than that of Cache Creek, which drains the whole of the
Clear Lake country.
Gardens of Putah Creek.
On Putah Creek are the famed early gardens of the
YOLO COUNTY. 99
State. Tliese gardens are in both Yolo and Solano coun-
ties, and justly rank among the most valuable in the State.
The produce from this section generally reaches San Fran-
cisco in advance of any other, and at a time when enor-
mous prices are realized for fruit and vegetables. Peaches,
grapes, pears, etc., ripen here from six to ten days in
advance of any part of the State accessible to San Fran-
cisco, with the exception of Edgar's Garden, in Yolo
County, which possesses the same advantages though situ-
ated in another part of the foothills. These gardens now
afford profitable employment to a number of men, and they
will doubtless be increased in size as fast as practicable,
until the garden land of the foothills shall all be l^nder
cultivation.
■Buckeye Creek.
This stream rises in the foothills of Buckeye Township,
formed by Pine Canon and Salt Arroyos. It is dry in sum-
mer, but in winter' it has a channel of several miles in
length, which traverses the plains in a westerly direction,
its waters passing off through Deep Arroyo and Willow
Slough to the tule marshes about fifteen miles from its
source. Deep Arroyo is probably the old bed of Buckeye
Creek, through which its waters found an uninterrupted
channel to the slough in the olden time, when there was
more water in these channels than has been known within
the memory of the "oldest settler."
Cottonwood Creek.
This stream rises from a spring on Scott's Mountain
Ranch, about seven miles from the plains, and follows a
northeast course until it approaches the south corner of the
Canada de Capay Grant, when it turns to the southeast and
is lost in the cottonwood plains. Daring the winter, when
the channel is full, the waters of Cottonwood find their
outlet in Willow Slough, twelve miles from where it enters
the plains, nineteen or twenty miles from its source.
This stream is dry during the summer, with the excej)-

tion of tlie main mountain spring and an occasional spring
or pond-hole along its course, until it reaches tlie plains,
where these disappear.
Dry Creek.
Dry Creek is formed by numerous arroyos and gulches,
which, leaving the foothills in the northwestern part of the
county, unite and form this stream near the base of the
range. The general course of the stream is west north-
west, for about iifteeu miles from its source, where it dis-
charges its winter floods in the tule marshes near Dunigan's
Eanch. This stream is dry in the summer, as its name de-
notes, with the exception of a few springs in its mountain
gulches ; but during the winter rains, quite a large volume
of water reaches the tules through its channel.
Water.
Yolo County is very well watered by the streams enumer-
ated, sufficiently so to render it a good stock country; but,
aside from that, it would be considered rather deficient in
this necessary element. It is true that springs are rare on
the plains, but water is readily obtained by boring in any
locality. Around Woodland the water is hard, and strongly
impregnated with mineral. The average dej)th at which
water is obtained is about eighteen feet. The Court-house
well is sunk one hundred and thirty feet, for the purpose of
testing whether a flowing well could be obtained here as
well as in other valleys, but the projeetors quit their labors
before the question was decided. At that dejith a stream
was struck which produces excellent water, though no colder
than some other wells near by, of much less depth. In the
section bordering the tules the water is from six to ten feet
below the surface, but the wells are generally bored through
the first stream and into the under channels, from twenty to
thirty feet below the surface. In the vicinity of Putah
Creek the wells average from twelve to fifteen feet, and the
quality of the water is good, though hard. In the gravel-
belt spoken of, the wells range from thirty feet downward,
* YOLO COUNTY. , 101
tlie well at Webster's Blacksmith sliop being but eight feet
deep, and the water rising within four feet of the surface.
Around Cottonwood the wells average about twentj-two feet,
and around Buckeye thej are from two to five feet less in
depth. Skirting the foothills the wells are deeper, in some
cases the wells being tubed one hundred and fifty feet, the
water rising within forty and forty-five feet of the surface.
This is the case on Scott's Farm, where two wells but a mile
apart present this diflerence. One is sunk one hundred and
fifty feet, the water being within forty-five feet of the sur-
face, while the other is sunk but forty-five feet and the wa-
ter rises within thirty-five feet of the top. A mile from the
latter well is one on the same ranch, twenty-five feet deep,
and supplied with pure, soft water. We note another well
about two miles from the latter, also soft water, and about
the same depth. With but few exceptions the well water is
hard throughout the county, and in some sections salt and
brackish. Such is the case along a strip of land lying back
of Knight's Landing and bordering on the tule marshes. The
coldest well water obtained in the county is along the Sac-
ramento Biver, where many wells are found whose waters
resemble in taste those of the mountain springs. The aver-
age depth of water, as reached throughout the county, might
be put at twenty feet; the general quality hard and slightly
mineral.
Sulphur Springs.
In Cottonwood Canon, Salt Arroyo and in several locali-
ties among the foothills are several springs strongly imjoreg-
nated with sulphur. None have been turned to any purpose
as yet, the water not being in sufficient quantities to maka
them of much note. Their medicinal qualities have never
been tested, except by thirsty wanderers, and the stock
which frequent the watering-places. The latter having
never expressed an opinion regarding the merits of these
waters, and as we have no other reliable authority on this
point, we are compelled to remain silent.
Timber.
The county is comparatively well wooded, though large
102 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
portions of it are bare of trees, especially portions of the
plains. The foothills and mountains produce several varie-
ties of timber, including oak and willow or nut-pine. Of
shrubs, the manzanita, spice or nutmeg tree, wild plum
and elder are in the ascendency, though there are other
varieties of less note. Among the oak family are the post
or white oak, pin oak, shrub oak, red oak, black or moun-
tain oak, burr oak and water oak. Two varieties — the black
and red oak — furnish a very good substitute for Eastern oak
in departments of manufacture. The j)Ost oak, both in the
mountains and on the plains, furnishes material for excel-
lent posts, preferred by many to ordinary or brash red-
wood.
The willow pine is little used, it being valueless for any
building purposes, where exposed to the weather or resting
on the ground. There are large bodies of this timber which
would eventually find a ready market were there means of
cheap transportation between the canon and points near the
mining counties, where this wood is used extensively in the
form of blocks or riiBes, for the lining of the flumes and
tail-races of the mining claims. In the mining sections this
timber has been exhausted, and these blocks are now hauled
on wagons for many miles, rendering them very expensive.
The laurel is occasionally found in the hills of this county,
but not in quantities, or of size sufficient to render it of any
interest or value. Yolo County may be said to possess no
building or fencing timber within her limits, the quality
and character of her timber rendering it suitable for wood
alone. With proper care, the supply of wood is sufficient
for all the county for many years to come, but in manj^ parts
this care is not exercised, and the county is fast being de-
nuded of its chief beauty — its noble groves of oaks, Avliich
are cut into cord-wood and sent to other localities. Wood-
land, once surrounded by beautiful groves, is almost strip-
ped of its chief ornament. The traveler who visited this
county fifteen years ago could not fail of being favorably
impressed with its well-wooded streams and the tracts of
oak timber which marked the old water courses. Should
he return now, he would find biit a small portion of this
YOLO COUNTY. 103
peculiar beauty remaining. The Americans have justly
been called the exterminators of timber. In no civilized
country are the laws regarding the wanton waste of timber
so loosely framed or so little regarded as in our own. And
Math the lessons of the past before us, we have not ceased
in our insane efforts to destroy the only real beauty to be
found on these plains. Thousands of cords of oak have
been destroyed in this county by the timber being felled
for brush fences and rotting in that position. Thousands of
cords are annually wasted by the careless, wasteful manner
in which the trees are worked into wood. And year by year
the noble oaks are felled, long before their prime, that the
money realized from their sales may be drawing interest for
their former owners. A few years hence and the effect of
this wanton destruction of timber will be felt, when Cache
Creek and th« plains shall be stripped of their groves a]id
left bare and dreary.
All are aware, or should be, of the great influence exerted
on the atmosphere, the water and the health of a community
by the timber. Take, for example, the changes that have
occurred, compare the present with the past of those lands
once heavily timbered bitt now stripped of their forests.
A. scarcity of water, warmer summers, colder winters, and
diseases before unknown are among the results plainly at-
tributed to the destruction of the forests. There is an excuse
for the total removal of timber from fields in countries where
the necessities of agriculture demand it. But that excuse
is not valid when urged in extenuation of the crime — for we
can call it by no milder name — by which these plains are
being shorn of their most valuable ornament. And we
make this plea for the preservation of these grand old oaks
from wanton destruction, in hopes that some lovers of na-
ture may be induced to spare the timber as much and as
long as possible, that the coming generations may partake
of the natural beauties and advantages so lavishly bestowed
on their ancestors. If this suicidal course is continued,
and no timber planted, Yolo County will be compelled to
import fire-wood ere fifty years shall elapse. And when
the groves of oaks are no more, the changes in climate, health
104 THE WESTEEN SHOKE GAZETTEER.
and fertility will attest the folly of those who thus wantonly
transgress the laws of nature and of reason. Plant timber;
rather plant an acre than destroy a tree without Just cause.
If farmers would plant say ten or twenty acres of their one
hundred and sixty, to timber of rapid growth, within ten,
at the farthest fifteen, years these plains would become the
loveliest part of the State. Aside from the advantages of
health, comfort and beauty, these bodies of timber would
become sources of great and lasting wealth. The locust,
walnut, black walnut, white walnut or butternut, the pecan,
and other valuable woods, grow readily and rapidly in this
climate, and in a few years, by additional plantings to meet
the expected cuttings, the large and constantly-increasing
trade in Eastern hard lumber would be transferred to our
own State, and millions of money annually expended abroad
would be kept at home. The love of gain, whi^h has caused
the wholesale destruction of the timber, should induce men
to plant more, even if no other inducement were offered.
Remember that the large timber of California sprouts not
when felled; that a grove once felled has passed away for-
ever.
We propose now to consider some of the various produc-
tions of this county, that are not generally raised elsewhere.
Peanuts.
In 1853, Dr. Joshua S. Curtis brought fifty pounds of
peanuts from New Orleans and planted them in his garden,
on the Sacramento River, one and a half miles below Wash-
ington. This was the first experiment of raising peanuts in
this State. This effort proving successful, the Doctor fol-
lowed it up the succeeding year on a more enlarged scale,
and has continued in the business since. During the first
few years the experiment proved very remunerative, and
several others engaged in the enterprise.
As the product became larger the price decreased, until a
much smaller margin for profit was left the producer; but
still the amount planted increases annually. This year there
are about forty acres planted on the ranches of the Doctor
YOLO COUNTY. 105
and liis son. The first lot shipped to San Francisco brought
twenty -five cents per pound, at that price yielding an income
of five hundred dollars per acre. Gradually the price has
decreased, the lowest point reached being eight cents per
pound. Last year's crop brought ten cents, though a few
Chinamen gardeners sold for eight cents.
The average yield on favorable soil is one ton per acre,
though the crop sometimes is heavier. The nuts are planted
in hills like potatoes, and cultivated in much the same man-
ner. The vines are covered twice, leaving but the ends
above the surface. This causes a new setting of nuts at
each covering. It is supposed that the crop is sure, as no
failure has been known where the vines were properly cul-
tivated and planted in congenial soil.
The soil required for successful cultivation is a loose,
sandy loam, such as is suitable for sweet potatoes. When
planted in this kind of soil and properly attended, the
result has, so far, been very flattering.
It is not likely that the demand for this article will induce
the raising of the nut for export. The home market will
constitute the demand, and that is in a measure quite lim-
ited. Owing to the facility with which they are grown
(one man can take care of from five to seven acres, except
during harvest), the home market has been already closed
to importers and fully supplied with the State product.
There was none imported last year, and probably will not
be during the present season. The sales in San Francisco
alone reached over fifty thousand dollars last season, and
the main part of the nuts thus sold were raised in Yolo
County.
From the small beginning of fifty pounds, planted by
Dr. Curtis in 1853, has sprung up an annual trade of
about three hundred tons, grown in this county. If it
were not probable that the market would be easily over-
crowded, many more acres would be planted annually,
for there is a deal of land along the river and creeks suit-
able for this plant. Owing to the price of labor, it will
not be found profitable to grow them for export.
There is one peculiarity about the peanut culture, noted
106 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
by those who have followed the business for years. It
does uct seem to injure the land, or detract from the natu-
ral strength of soil in the least, but, on the contrary, seems
to keep the soil loose and lively, leaving it enhanced in
value by the thorough cultivation necessary to eradicate
the weeds and keep it in a healthy condition.
Silk Culture.
From I. N. Hoag we have received a comprehensive ac-
count of the silk interest of this county. We commend
it to the careful perusal of our readers, as it embodies
the experience of one* who has been long and earnestly
engaged in the business, as well as the experience of all
prominent sericulturists in the county. Coming, as it does,
from one actively engaged in the business, it possesses a
value far above the crude oj)inions or hasty sketches of
the uninitiated writer on the subject.
While the feeding of the silk-worm as an experiment,
and upon a small scale, had been followed by the late Louis
Prevost, in Santa Clara Countj^, for a number of years
previous to its introduction into any other county of the
State, Yolo County has the undoubted honor of intro-
ducing this rich industry as a matter of real, legitimate
and lucrative business. In 1867, the writer, having be-
come satisfied of the adaptability of our soil and climate
to the prosecution of this branch of husbandry, and desir-
ing to add one more to the limited list of agricultural
products of our State, planted ten acres of land, situated
on the Sacramento River, about two miles above the Town
of Washington, with mulberry cuttings and seed. The
cuttings were very successful — but a very small proportion
of the seed planted grew. However, as a result of the
enterprise, he produced about half a million of thrifty
trees. These trees were grown partly for his own use in
the production of silk, and partly for sale; but as no one
had yet made a financial success in feeding silk-worms in
the State, Mr. Hoag found no demand for his trees, as he
had hoped, during the winter and spring of 1868. During
YOLO COUNTY. 107
the spring and summer of that year, however, he fed the
leaves from the trees produced from his morns multicaulis
cutting on three and one-half acres of land (the trees then
being a little more than one year old) to the worms pro-
duced from about ten ounces of silk-worm eggs; and, as a
financial result, he made a net profit, over and above all
expenses of feeding, of three thousand four hundred and
forty-eight dollars. The time occupied in feeding the
worms and preparing the product for sale was only about
six weeks, commencing on the first of June and ending on
the twenty-fifth of July.
It will be seen that the trees from which the leaves were
picked were only a little over one year old from the first
cuttings. The success of this first real business operation
in this industry called the public attention to it more effect-
ually than would thousands of pages of finely-written argu-
ments in its favor, and in 1869 there were many plantations
of mulberry trees started in almost all portions of the State.
Among the largest and most important of these is that of
the California Silk Culture Association, located near Davis-
ville, in this county. This company is composed mostly
of San Francisco capitalists, and it was organized through
the energy and enterprise of our indomitable fellow-citizen,
C. W. Eeed, who is himself a large owner in the concern.
The company's mulberry plantations now cover one hun-
dred acres of land and contain about six hundred thousand
trees from two to three years old. They have erected two
large and well-arranged cocooneries ; one in the spring of
1869, the dimensions of which are thirty by one hundred
feet square on the ground and two stories high. The other
was built in 1870 and is much larger and better. Both are
capable of accommodating the worms from over one hun-
dred ounces of eggs at the same time. In the spring of
1869, the same year in which the trees were planted, the
company made about a million of cocoons, most of which
they reeled, producing some of the finest raw silk ever
shown in any country. In the spring of 1870 they made
over two millions of cocoons, a portion of which were al-
lowed to hatch and reproduce eggs to the number of some
108 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
three tliousaiid ounces. The eggs have nearly all been
sold at an average of four dollars per ounce, for export to
Europe.
Encouraged by their success so far, the company have
determined to extend their operations, both as to the size
of their plantations and the number of the cocooneries.
They will also add buildings and machinery for reeling silk
on a large scale.
Mr. Hoag has also extended his plantation, so that the
ground now occupied by his trees is about fifty acres and
the trees number about two hundred thousand, between
three and four years old. He has three cocooneries, one
fifty feet square, one fift}' by sixty and the other thirty-six
by forty, capable of feeding the worms from eighty to one
hundred ounces of eggs. His trees are about half multi-
caulis and half moretti or alba.
Besides the above, there are within the county other
establishments for the cultivation of silk, on a less formi-
dable scale, among which may be mentioned that of H. G.
Ballou, on the Sacramento Kiver, four miles above Wash-
ington. Mr. Ballou commenced in the spring of 18C9.
He has about twenty thousand trees, covering some ten
acres of land. The success of Mr. Ballou has also been
very gratifying. He gives as the result of his first year's
feeding, from a limited number of trees, a net profit at the
rate of seven hundred and sixty dollars per acre.
James Haworth, some two miles below Washington,
has a plantation of about ten thousand trees, and has been
engaged in feeding worms for the past three years with
uniform success. Dr. C. Kuddock, of Willow Slough, and
James Edgar, of Cottonwood, and a number of others in
the county, have a limited number of trees, and we are in-
formed that many others will engage in the business the
coming year.
While Sacramento, Santa Clara, Santa Barbara, Los
Angeles and other counties have been wide awake in the
introduction of this valuable industry, we believe Yolo is
still justly entitled to be set down as the banner county of
the State in silk culture.
YOLO COUNTY. 109
It lias been sliown by the experiments and operations
above cited that silk culture can be yery profitably entered
upon as an eselusiye business, yet we believe it would be
found one of tlie most valuable and remunerative products
of every farm carried on in connection -witli otlier indus-
tries. Its active operations cover but a very small portion
of time in eacli year, and that time is in the spring, when
other farming occupations in this State require but little
attention. The expense of making a beginning is but a
mere trifle for trees, and every farmer can so manage as to
use some portion of his dwelling or some of his out-build-
ings for the short time required each year. The work of
feeding the worms being light and mostly in-doors, can be
done by the women and children of the family, and thus,
with almost no increase of capital and with no additional
expense for labor, every farmer in the county might, by
engaging in the culture of silk, add materially to his an-
nual income and increase the comforts of his household.
As Yolo County has been the first to successfulh' intro-
duce the business and render it remunerative, we hope she
ma}'' be the first to render that business general among her
agriculturists. We are assured that our grain-growing
districts are well adapted to the successful growth of the
trees, they being of a hardy nature, like cottonwood, and
that the leaves grown on trees in a hard, dry soil will pro-
duce the best quality of silk.
Another source of wealth which furnishes emploj^ment to
several of our citizens is but little understood. From the
meager data before us we give the following very imperfect
sketch of the
Fisheries of Yolo.
The principal fishery on the Sacramento is at the mouth
of Sycamore Slough, near Knight's Landing. It employs
several men, the average catch during the summer and fall
being from one to two tons of fish per day. One small
steamer is employed in transporting the catch to the mar-
kets — Sacramento and San Francisco. The principal fish
110 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
taken here in the summer is the perch, along with other
varieties of smaller fish.
Aside from this fishery, we have returns from thirtj-two
gill-nets, two men to the boat; average catch of the season,
twelve hundred dollars to the net; also four pike fishermen,
with twenty nets. The largest pike net on the river is at
the Knight's Landing Fishery, of which we have spoken.
During the salmon fishing, the fishermen take large quanti-
ties of this fine fish, along with sturgeon and other varieties
not so valuable. Bj the twenty-fifth of June the spring-
run of salmon up the river is generally ended, when the
perch and othpr small fish take their place in the market.
The fall run begins in August and lasts until November,
and sometimes as late as December. The spring run is the
best — the fish being short, fat and of a bright color. On
returning from the spring run they frequently mix with
the fall run, when they are poor and of a very rusty color.
The average weight of the spring fish is about fifteen
pounds, though they have been caught weighing forty
pounds. Sturgeon have been taken in these fisheries,
weighing more— one being recorded of four hundred and
ninety-five pounds weight. During the spring run, it
sometimes happens that a sudden rise occurs in the river,
when the fish fall back for a few days until the floods sub-
side, when the run is renewed.
This season the first shipment of salmon overland to the
East was attempted. There is no doubt but that a large
and profitable trade will grow out of this experiment. The
salmon of the Pacific coast far surpass those of the Eastern
fisheries, both in size and quality. Should the market be
assured in that quarter, we may look for a large increase of
boats and men on the river. Old fishermen tell us that the
stock has increased in the inland waters very materially
during the past few years. They attribute this to the de-
crease of mining, and the consequent increased purity of
the waters.
About one hundred and fifty men are engaged in fishing
and hunting, who are residents of this county. The annual
value of the trade is estimated at eighty to one hundred
YOLO COUNTY. Ill
tliousanci dollars. The value of boats, nets and other
property necessary to conduct the business is estimated at
forty-five thousand dollars.
Mines and Minerals.
The mining interest is but lightly represented in this
county, with one exception. But little prospecting for the
precious metals has been attempted, though ' ' indications "
of the existence of various kinds of mineral are not want-
ing in the foothills and mountain ranges that form the
western boundary of the county. Gold, copper, sulphur,
lead and cinnabar indications are frequently found, such
as would justify extended prospecting in a country where
the attention of the inhabitants was directed to mining
instead of agriculture.
Gold Mining
Has been carried on, to some extent, on Putah Creek and
in some gulches and ravines in the foothills near Cache
Creek Canon. Absence of water, inexperience of mining
matters, and the all-absorbing interests of agriculture,
may be given as sufficient reasons why this branch of
industry has received no more attention. That gold exists
in the first range of hills is a fact; but whether in quanti-
ties sufficient to justify any great outlay of capital in the
prospecting or working of the ground, remains to be
decided. Copper "signs" are plenty in the hills, and
occasionally one meets with indications of coal and iron.
The formation of the ranges, their volcanic origin, and the
undisputed fact of the existence of gold and cinnabar,
would warrant a more extended and thorough examination
of the county than has ever been given to it.
Cinnabar. ^
In the extreme northwestern portion of the county is
located the cinnabar or quicksilver mines of Charles F.
112 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Reed & Co., known as the California Mines. This com-
pany are pushing the work on their mine, with every assur-
ance of success. The mine lies but a few (six) miles from
the celebrated Knoxville and Manhattan cinnabar mines,
and is evidently a continuation of the belt which traverses
a section of Lake and Yolo counties. This cinnabar-
bearing belt extends from Oregon southward through the
Coast Range; how far is not definitely ascertained, but
either the mineral or indications have been discovered at
intervals through the whole extent of the Coast Range from
Oregon to Mexico.
In the district where Reed's mine is located, very rich
deposits of cinnabar have been found and two large mines,
with furnaces and machinery attached, employing about
three hundred men and turning out from four hundred to
one thousand flasks of quicksilver per week when the fur-
naces are in operation. These mines are located in Lake
County, the dividing line between Lake and Yolo passing
between these mines and that owned by Reed & Co. The
surrounding hills are thickly studded with "indications"
and "croppings" which reveal the existence of cinnabar-
bearing lodes.
The California Mine.
By an Act of the Legislature of 1864-5 the boundaries
of Yolo County were definitely determined. This location
included the California and Occidental mines within the
limits of Yolo Count3^ In 1856 these mines' were consoli-
dated under the name of the " California Mine," and duly
incorporated, with Charles F. Reed, of Y^'olo County, as
President, and Henry F. "Williams, of San Francisco, as
Secretary. In 1867 the mine was sold to a company of
English capitalists for five hundred thousand dollars, but,
through some mismanagement of the company's agents sent
to Europe, the sale was broken. The company then deter-
mined to f)rosecute the work on their own account, and
have been steadily engaged in opening and developing
their mine since. They own six hundred and forty acres
of rich agricultural land in Davis Valley, well improved,
YOLO COUNTY. 113
with good farm houses, barns, etc. At present they are
working fifteen men, under the superintendence of John E.
Regal, an experienced miner. They have out and ready
for smelting about five hundred tons of fine ore, estimated
to yield thirty per cent, of quicksilver. They have good
boarding-houses, blacksmith-shops and other buildings
necessary to the successful prosecution of the work. A
contract has been made with Messrs. Roach & Form, of
San Francisco, who are to erect a large smelting furnace,
to be completed by the first of October. It is confidently
expected that the mine will be turning out large quantities
of quicksilver by that time or immediately thereafter.
Several tunnels have been driven by the company, in all of
which the prospects are encouraging. One of these tun-
nels has been driven, through solid rock, six hundred and
fifty feet, one over four hundred feet, and still another two
hundred and fifty feet. At the time of writing the suj)erin-
tendent informed us that he had found large quantities of
paying rock or ore in the new cut, one hundred feet be-
neath the surface. Success in this quarter will induce
capitalists to turn their attention to investments in that
direction, and will have the effect of introducing a class of
laborers in those hills who will add wealth and prosperity
to a portion of the country now comparatively non-produc-
tive and consequently valueless. Such an event would
w^ork a vast change in that section, and materially enhance
the value of the foot-hill lands, especially those that are
well timbered. It would open up a new market for pro-
duce and hasten the construction of a railroad through that
section, and in many other ways prove of great benefit to
the county.
We now leave our general description of the county, for
the purpose of giving brief sketches of the principal towns
of Yolo.
Woodland,
The county seat, is situated in Cache Creek Township,
fifteen miles west and six and one-half miles north of
Sacramento. By the road, as now laid out, the distance is
8
114 THE WESTEKN SHOKE GAZETTEER.
rated at eighteen miles to Washington. Tlie town lies
tliree miles soutli of Cache Creek, the nearest point being
at Nelson's bridge. Where the town now stands, and im-
mediately surrounding it, was once a beautiful grove of
oaks, from which the town derives its name. A few of the
trees are still standing, but by far the larger portion have
fallen before the army of occupation, the advance guard of
which seems to be wood-choppers. This grove, which was
the most prominent feature of the place and its chief beauty
in its younger days, has given place to dwellings, stores
and other belongings of a thriving town; yet enough re-
mains to enable the town to hold her name rightfully, with-
out subjecting herself to the charge of having appropriated
a name that did not correspond with the surroundings.
The ground on which the town is located is slightly ele-
vated above the surrounding plains, it being the end of a
gravelly ridge, or rather elevation, traceable for several
miles. The belt of timber in which the town was estab-
lished extends northward and westward to Cache Creek,
and eastward and southeastward for some distance beyond
the town.
In 1855 Henry Wyckoff established a store, the place
being then known as "Yolo City." This store was pur-
chased in 1857 by F. S. Freeman. Hyman & Brothers
established the next store, building what is now known as
the Woodland House. In 1861 F. S. Freeman built the
first brick building. The land on which the north part of
the town stands was patented by F. S. Freeman in 1862.
The southern portion of the town stands on land patented
by T. M. Harris, in June, 1863. Such is a brief outline
of the early history of the town, given to illustrate the
rapid growth and improvement of the place.
A short time since, an eflbrt was made to incorporate the
town, giving it a boundary one mile square. From causes
unnecessary to mention, the scheme failed, and Woodland
remains unprotected by city laws, unburthencd by city
taxes. We do not propose to question the wisdom of the
attempt at incorporation, or the more successful effort
which resulted in the defeat of the measure ; but we may
YOLO COUNTY. 115
be permitted to express tlie opinion that but a few addi-
tional years of prosperity will elapse before Woodland will
be found among tlie list of incorporated towns.
Public Buildings.
The county buildings — Court-house and jail combined —
are situated in the north portion of the town. The structure
is of brick, two stories high — 76x60 feet. The jail contains
eight cells, constructed of wood and lined with sheet-iron.
The bviilding is now undergoing repairs, a contract having
been entered into between the Board of Supervisors and
Turton & Knox, of Sacramento City, the latter undertaking
to raise the building eight and one-half feet and put under
it a new foundation, the present one proving inadequate
for the purpose designed. Since the above was written
the work has been successfully completed. The building
is commodious, provided with fire-proof vaults and safes for
the various ofiices. The offices of the Treasurer, District
Attorney, Sheriff and the jail are on the first floor. On the
second floor is the Court room. Supervisors' room, Grand
Jury room, County Clerk's room and ofiice. The yard or
square on which the building is situated, is tastefully laid
out with walks and planted with shrubbery, or rather a por-
tion of it, and the whole has been sown in alfalfa, which
thrives well, and adds much to the beauty of the place. A
well one hundred and thirty feet deep furnishes a plentiful
supply of good water, supposed to be the best in the town.
Hesperian College.
This institution, located at Woodland, was erected in the
fall of 1860 and the winter of 1861.
The school was opened March 4th, 1861 — the day of Presi-
dent Lincoln's first inauguration. O. L. Mllthews, a gradu-
ate of Bethany College, Virginia, presided over the young
institution until December, 1861 ; Henry Atkinson, a gradu-
ate of Howard University, assuming control of the school
the following term, January, 1862.
116 THE WESTEKN SHORE GAZETTEER.
In August following, J. W. Anderson, of Washington
College, Pennsylvania, was elected to watch over the rising
fortunes of a school that bid fair to attain to eminence among
the schools and colleges of California.
In September, 1863, J. M. Martin, a graduate of Abing-
don College, Illinois, was called to take charge of the in-
stitution. From that time till the present he has presided
over its destinies.
Though laboring under many difficulties and embarrass-
ments, it gradually increased in members, influence and
popularity, until the opening of the session, August, 1867,
when with almost unprecedented rapidity it rose to the first
rank among the schools of the Pacific Slope. The cata-
logues of the institution for 1867-8-9 show an average at-
tendance of more than two hundred students per annum.
On the fifth day of May, 1869, the institution was duly
incorporated in accordance with the statutes of California
in such case made and provided.
On the twenty-third of August, 1869, the Board of Trus-
tees named in the certificate of incorporation met, organi-
zed and proceeded to elect a Faculty, and to establish rules
and regulations for the good government of the school.
The present Faculty is as follows: J. M. Martin, Presi-
dent and Professor of Ancient Languages and Elocution; J.
L. Simpson, Professor of Mathematics; G. N. Freman, Prin-
cipal of Preparatory Department; Mrs. C. L. Cross, Prin-
cipal of Primary Department; Miss Florence G. Johnston,
Teacher of Vocal and Instrumental Music; Mrs. J. E. Dick-
son, Teacher of Painting, Drawing, etc.; P. A. Espina,
Teacher of Spencerian Penmanship ; G. N. Freman, Secre-
tary of the Faculty. Hesperian College admits both sexes,
and stands a striking example of the superiority of such
schools when conducted upon a rational basis. ' ' A thorough,
practical education — physical, intellectual and moral,'" is the
motto of the Ii#titution.
Public School-house.
This is a two-story frame building, situated in the extreme
YOLO COUNTY. 117
eastern part of town, in the midst of a beautiful grove of
oaks. It is not worthy, as a public building, of any extend-
ed notice.
Churches.
There are three brick churches in the town — the Christian
or Campbellite, the M. E. Church and the Catholic. They
are each good, substantial brick buildings, the Catholic
Church being by far su23erior to the others in architectural
beauty and design.
Theater.
Washington Hall, on Main Street, two stories high and
one hundred feet long by sixty feet wide, was erected for
public purposes by Adam Gerlach, at an expense of fifteen
thousand dollars. The upper story is in one room, and fit-
ted with a stage and stage scenery complete. It was opened
by L. F. Beatty, with a theatrical troupe, who leased it for
a season. His term having expired, Mr. Gerlach resumed
the control of the hall, which is now at the service of the
public.
Hotels.
The hotels in Woodland, two in number, are fine brick
buildings, two and three stories high respectively. Among
the
Other Buildings
Worthy of note are the bank building, the fine brick —
three stories high — adjoining the bank, built by Messrs.
Brown, Sill & Craft, and Elliott's carriage-shop, a fine two-
story brick. Among the private residences that of F. S.
Freeman takes the first place. The contract price for this
building was sixteen thousand dollars. There are many
tasty dwelling-houses in Woodland, of both brick and
wood, but the predominating material used in construc-
tion is brick, both in stores and dwellings.
G-eneral Description.
The town contains twenty stores, classed as follows :
118 THE WESTERN SHOEE GAZETTEER.
One hardware, one millinery store ; dry goods, tliree ; dry
goods and groceries, two ; groceries, tliree ; produce and
groceries, two ; produce and fruit, one ; jewelry and drugs
and stationery combined, one ; jewelry, one ; clothing and
drugs, one ; tinware and stoves, two ; variety stores, two.
There are four barber's shops, one bath-house, two saddle
and harness shops, three shoemaker's shops, one dress-
making establishment, three restaurants, one flour-mill, two
large carpenter's shops, one large carriage manufactory,
seven blacksmith's shops, one sash and door manufactory,
one ice cream saloon, three livery stables, and eighteen
saloons and places where liquors are sold by the drink.
This list comprises the most of the business of the town.
The trade, value of exports and imports are included in the
county returns.
The population of the town proper, or village, is sixteen
hundred. Including the suburbs, or voting precinct, it is
about twenty-two hundred.
Meat Markets.
The value of the animals slaughtered for home consump-
tion in Yolo can hardly be accurately determined. We
take the following statistics from the books of James Ash-
bury, the leading butcher of the county. At his two
markets, in Woodland, the sales foot up as follows, for the
year ending September first : Number of pounds of veal
slaughtered, nine thousand six hundred ; jjoi'k, twenty-
three thousand ; mutton, sixty-six thousand ; beef, five
hundred thousand nine hundred. Total pounds of meat,
five hundred and ninety-nine thousand five hundred pounds,
worth at an average thirteen cents per pound, or seventy-
seven thousand nine hundred and ninety-five dollars. Sup-
posing the remaining shops in the county do a business ex-
ceeding this by one-half, a\ hich is a fair estimate, avo then
have one million four hundred and ninety-eight thousand
seven hundred and fifty pounds of meat annually sold from
the marlcets, valued at one hundred and ninety -four thou-
sand eight hundred and thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents.
YOLO COUNTY. 119
Tlie other markets of note are Korn's, at Woodland ;
Gwinn's, at Kniglit's Landing; Marden's, at Davisville;
Hines', at Caclieyille, and one at Buckley's. At Ashbmy's
five men are employed, averaging a pay-roll of seven thou-
sand five hundred dollars. By the same average we have
twelve men with a pay-roll of eleven thousand two hundred
and fifty dollars.
• Bank of "Woodland.
This institution was organized in 1868 and incorporated
on the twenty-first of November of that year, with a paid
up capital stock of two hundred thousand dollars, to be
increased to five hundred thousand dollars at the option
of the incorporators. The officers at present are the
same as at its organization, and are as follows : Presi-
dent, J. D. Stephens; Cashier, C. W. Bush; Vice-
President, P. S. Freeman. The Directors are J. D.
Stephens, P. S. Preeman, C. Nelson, J. HoUingsworth,
L. D. Stephens, J. Wilcoxon, N. Hastings, P. Miller and
C. W. Bonynger. Since its organization three dividends
have been declared, averaging each one per cent, on the
paid up capital. With the organization of this institution
new facilities were afi^orded business men, and a corre-
sponding improvement in financial matters was the result.
Knight's Landing.
This town is situated on the Sacramento Eiver, eight and
one-half miles north and three and one-half miles east of
Woodland. By the railroad the distance is eight miles;
by the public roads, as generally traveled, about twelve.
It is on th5 line of the California Pacific Eailroad, thereby
connected with Marysville, Woodland and the seaboard.
It has a large trade, via the Sacramento Eiver, with Sacra-
mento and San Prancisco. It contains one church, a
school-house, one hotel, one lodging-house, one flour-mill,
one very large wagon- and blacksmith-shop, besides some
of lesser note; three large warehouses, one large carpenter-
shop, two bakeries, six saloons, one very large dry-goods
120 THE WESTEEN SHOKE GAZETTEER.
store, several grocery-stores, and several other places of
trade, too numerous to mention.
The principal portion of the .toAva lies on Front Street,
fronting the river. The buildings are principally of wood,
of one story, or cottage houses. The population is about
one thousand. In 1850 "Billy" McDaniel first laid out
the Town of Knight's Landing; but nothing seems to have
been done toward building the town until 1853, when
Charles F. Pieed re-surveyed it and laid out the streets as
they are now located. There are many old settlers in that
community who recollect when Knight's Landing was bar-
ren of aught but brush and undergrowth.
When J. W. Snowball arrived he found one log house on
the mound. He erected the first store at that place. The
name of "Knight's Landing " was given by the settlers in
honor of the owner of the grant located there — a name it
has since retained.
It seems a little strange — hard to recognize as facts — that
the pleasant town of Knight's Landing, with its bustling
activity, as well as the surrounding country, was an unset-
tled wilderness but twenty years ago. Yet such is the case,
and that wilderness was rather thickly inhabited by wild
and savage beasts, according to the reports of the early
settlers. Mr. A. W. Morriss, who settled at Knight's Land-
ing in 1852, relates that the place was then entirely unim-
proved, and wild animals were plenty. A few cloth tents
were the only dwellings, except the log house on the
mound. The only inclosnre for stock was a corral. Hear-
ing a disturbance in the corral one night, he went out to
discover the cause, and found a grizzly making himself
familiar with the animals inclosed. In 1853 two grizzlies
made a reconnoisance on the forces of J. J. Cook, who
was engaged in ditch-digging near the site of the present
town. They walked out from an adjoining thicket, making
directly for Mr. Cook, who, knowing it was useless to run,
stood his ground bravely, and with uplifted shovel awaited
the assault. Fortune generally favors the brave, and in
this case she adhered to the rule; for, after a short ob-
servation of Mr. Cook and his defenses, the bears retired

n good order, leaving him master of tlie situation. For
several years, bear, elk, deer and antelope were abundant,
rbe log bouse on tbe mound— ^tbe old landmark, tbe first
iwelling in tbat part of tbe county — was burned in 1853.
We believe it was built in 1849. Pity it bad not been
spared, for but few of the old landmarks and records of
49 are left.
Building in those days was rather expensive, judging by
some old bills and records. Mr. J. Friel, who, by the way,
says there were not three women within a square of ten
niles when he settled near Knight's Landing (1853), built
lis first house of "shakes" split from the surrounding
Daks. The nails for this building cost thirty cents per
aound, the flooring boards one hundred and twenty-five
iollars per thousand feet. Flour was fifty dollars per bar-
rel, and other things in proportion. We might multiply
incidents of like nature, but they are familiar to all old
daiifornians. Among the early settlers of Knight's Land-
ing and vicinity was Mr. Harrison Gwinn, afterwards
bounty Judge of Yolo and member of the Legislature.
Ee settled on the farm he now occupies in 1850, and has
remained there since. To Mrs. Gwinn belongs the honor
Df being the first American lady who settled in that vicin-
ity. Thomas Coleman, who landed at Fremont in 1849,
same to Knight's Landing in 1850, when Mrs. William
Knight occupied the "log house on the mound." In 1851
Mr. Coleman was attacked by a grizzly, and was obliged to
seek safety by climbing a tree. D. W. Edson settled at
the Landing in 1850; J. Dinwiddle the same year ; C. O.
Copp in 1852. John Burns and several others, who are
still living in the county, settled there in 1853. About this
period the scattering farmers began to haul their produce
to this place for transportation, and the name of ' ' Knight's
Landing" became permanently established and was the
only name by which the place was known. There have
been some attempts to call the town after the name of its
post-office, Grafton, but there is little probability of the
old name ever being superseded.
During the summer and fall months the streets of the
122 THE WESTEEN SHORE GAZETTEER.
town present a livelj appearance. Long lines of freight
wagons, loaded with grain, impart a business appearance
that gives ample evidence -of the wealth of the country
adjoining. The flour and grain trade via the river is exten-
sive, communication with the sea]3orts .being cheap and
reliable at all seasons of the year.
The town possesses an excellent landing and extensive
wharves, the only ones in the county. Charles F, Eeed
and Laugenour & Brownell have each extensive wharves
and fine warehouses, capable of storing an immense quan-
tity of grain. They are heavy grain purchasers for the
San Francisco market, and their Avharves receive the bulk
of the grain raised in that section.
In point of trade. Knight's Landing is the third toAvn in
the county, as well as in population. It is a permanent,
steadily-growing place, and bids far to become an impor-
tant river toAvn. Connected as it is with the interior by
rail, the seaboard by rail- and water-carriage, it possesses
advantages of commerce superior to those of any other
town in the county. With the well-known energy of its
citizens directed in the proper channels, and supported by
an extensive grain-growing district, the town must rapidly
assume its true position and become a leading commercial
place.
Washington.
"Washington is situated on the Sacramento Kiver, imme-
diately opposite Sacramento City, and connected therewith
by the railroad bridge.
The town contains about five hundred inhabitants; is reg-
ularly laid out, and contains two hotels, four saloons, two
stores, one feed-stable and blacksmith-shop, one laundry,
one saw-mill, one rectifying apj)aratus and public water-
works.
The proximity of the town to Sacramento, which should
prove of great advantage to it, seems to produce an oppo-
site effect, but little improvement being visible. Owing to
a short-sighted policy, the trafiic between the two places is
seriously impeded by the toll-bridge, which levies a tax on
YOLO COUNTY. 123
every foot passenger tliat crosses. Owing to this, many who
are doing business in Sacramento City are deterred from
residing in Washington, where lands and rents are much
cheaper.
Were this restriction removed, or a free bridge con-
structed, Washington would improve rapidly, property
would be enhanced in value, while Sacramento would reap
a corresponding benefit in the increase of travel and trade
from this county, which now seeks other parts, accessible
only by rail, where such restrictions are removed.
Washington, by situation and by virtue of the advantages
named, should become the place of residence of many busi-
ness men whose business lies in Sacramento City. It should
become to Sacramento what Oakland is to San Francisco,
Brooklyn to New York, and, with liberal provision made
for transit between the two places, the desired result would
be soon secured.
The orchards in Washington are among the finest in the
county, and add a peculiar beauty to the place. It is in
reality the garden of the county, and susceptible of being
rendered one of the richest portions of the State.
The Steam Navigation Company have extensive works
located on the river front, near the bridge, consisting of
carpenter-shops and blacksmith-shops, located convenient
to the ways whereon their vessels are repaired. The spare
steamers belonging to the Company are moored in front of
the town and assessed in Yolo County. Many mechanics
are constantly employed by this Company, who make the
town their residence, adding materially to its prosperity.
The growth and improvements of Washington have not
been in a corresponding ratio with some other towns in the
county, and though one of the oldest, it falls far behind its
sister towns of younger growth. The railroad, instead of
being an advantage to the town and a cause of prosperity,
has proved the reverse, as the business formerly transacted
there in the way of freight and travel is now mostly trans-
ferred to Sacramento.
124 THE WESTEKN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Cache ville.
Tlie Town of Cacheville is situated on Caclie Creek, four
miles north by one mile west from Woodland. It contains
tliree stores, one hotel, one saddle- and harness-shop, two
blacksmith- and wagon-shops, one school-house, one church,
one flour-mill, one tin-shop and two saloons, with a popula-
tion of about five hundi'ed.
It is surrounded by a rich agricultural countiy and pos-
sesses a large mercantile trade.
There has not been much activity manifested in building,
there being no leading cause to stimulate a rapid growth.
The closely-settled surrounding country, with the many
wealthy farmers residing near by, gives a permanency to the
place which will insure a steady growth, though not rapid.
Having neither rail nor water connection with the other
towns, the grain market is confined to the milling trade,
which of necessity transfers a heavy trade to Woodland and
Knight's Landing which would be retained under more favor-
able circumstances. The proposed railroad from Woodland
to Colusa, if completed, would afford those facilities to
Cacheville, as then the town would become the center of
one of the finest grain-growing districts in the county — the
shipping and receiving point — thus securing the trade which
now passes through or by the town for other places, where
the facilities of transportation are greater. This would in-
sure a rapid growth, and the town would assume the position
which naturally belongs to it. The Post-ofilce at Cacheville
is Yolo.
Fremont.
This town was, but is not. A glance at the history will
enable the reader to learn of its past — a glance at the one
house comprising the town will tell of its present. Its site
is located on the Sacramento Kiver, about nine miles north-
east from Woodland, opposite to where the Feather Kiver
unites with the Sacramento. The country immediately sur-
rounding Fremont partakes of the general character of the
river lands — a narrow belt of grain or garden land fronting
YOLO COUNTY. 125
on the river, and sloping to the tule swamps in the rear.
We would there was more to say of Fremont, but unless we
write a homily on the changes presented, or a regret for the
good old times, we must close this paragraph. The Post-
office at Fremont is Charleston.
Langville
Is situated at the mouth of IDapay Yalley, twenty miles
northwest from Woodland, on the road leading to Clear
Lake. The town consists of Lang's Hotel, one saloon, one
saddler's shop and one blacksmith's shop. Population,
various.
Capay City-
Is situated in Capay Yalley, four miles from Langville and
twentj'-four miles northwest from Woodland. It contains
one store, one hotel, one blacksmith's shop and one saloon.
It is surrounded by a fine grain country. Capay Post-
office is located at this place.
Cottonwood.
This town is located in the midst of a fine grain-growing
locality, twelve miles west from Woodland. It contains
two stores, one blacksmith's shop, one wagon-maker's shop,
one harness and saddler's shop, one hotel, one shoe shop,
one saloon and one church. Lately the town has shown
signs of increasing vitality by the erection of some new and
substantial dwellings. The Post-office for Cottonwood is
Cache Creek.
Buckeye
Is situated fifteen miles southwest from Woodland, in the
center of a fine grain-growing locality. It contains two
stores, one hotel, one saloon, one blacksmith's shop, one
shoemaker's shop, one boarding-house and a Masonic Hall.
One of the finest dwelling-houses in the county — that of
Mr. B. Ely — is situated in the town. With this exception
12G THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
there are no buildings of note, unless we mention tlie dwell-
ing of Mr. E. C. Biggs, whose farm adjoins that belonging
to Mr. Ely. The Post-office has the same name as the
town.
Davisville
Is located on the north side of Putah Creek, ten miles
south and one mile east of Woodland. By the wagon-road
generally traveled the distance from Woodland to Davis-
ville has usually been called twelve miles, the latter figure
having been used by us in locating farms lying between
Davisville and Woodland. The town is located on the old
Jerome Davis farm, where the Sacramento branch of the
California Pacific Piailroad diverges from the main track.
It is thirteen miles west and three and one-half miles south
of Sacramento. The town is regularly laid out and contains
about five hundred inhabitants. Olive street, the main
street of the city, is very closely built, the buildings being
of wood, mostly of one story. The town contains two large
lumber-yards, two wagon and blacksmith's shops, several
stores and saloons, three hotels, one restaurant, one livery
stable, two saddle and harness shops and several minor
places of trade. A frame church is in course of construc-
tion and will be completed this season.
Owing to its central location, Davisville possesses a large
trade, especially in grain, from twenty to thirty thousand
tons being annually shipped by rail from this point. The
railroad buildings at Davisville are superior to any belong-
ing to the Company in the county, and these are no larger
than is necessary for the trade of the place. The town has
improved during the last year, and will doubtless continue
to advance in prosjierity. It is surrounded by an excellent
country, thickly settled with wealthy farmers. It possesses
the trade of a large section lying in this and Solano County,
and in this lies the elements of its future growth. As the
country adjoining becomes more improved and more thickly
settled, the town will feel the influence and meet with a
corresponding enlargement. The celebrated cocoonery and
mulberry orchard is located on the banks of Putah Creek,
immediately adjoining the town.

Orders.
The Masons, Odd Fellows, Druids and Good Templars are
represented by one or mol'e Lodges in the county, each of
which is said to be in a flourishing condition. Our
information regarding these Orders was furnished by the
officers of the various organizations, and may be considered
correct.
We are indebted to W. W. Stone for the following re-
garding the
U. A. O. D.
On the thirtieth of July, 1870, Dodoma Grove, No. 18,
United Ancient Order of Druids, was instituted in Wood-
land. Some two weeks previous to the organization, W. W.
Stone (Principal ot the Woodland School) received the
necessary instructions and encouragement, and by his en-
ergy succeeded in inducing thirty-four others to join in as
charter members, who were duly initiated in the secret
service of the Order on the date aforesaid. Since the in-
stallation a number of our most prominent citizens have
joined the Order, which now numbers fifty-eight, and a
further large increase of our best citizens may be confi-
dently expected. There is a fair prospect of the Grove
numbering one hundred members before it shall have been
two months in operation.
The principles of the Order are said to be synonymous
with those of the Odd Fellows and Free Masons, with an
equal if not greater disposition to cause the influence of a
society of public-spirited men to be felt beneficially in the
moral and intellectual status of the community in which
they reside.
The erection or purchase of a building suitable for a hall
is now under consideration by the Grove, which meets
temporarily in the College building. The creation of a
library and reading-room for the benefit of the members
and the public generally is also under consideration, and
will doubtless soon be an accomplished fact. The present
officers of the Grove are as follows: W. W. Stone, Noble

iug Secretary; Abram Moger, Financial Secretary; A. C.
Kean, Treasurer; G. Hafky, Inside Guard. Time of hold-
ing meetings, Monday evenings.
We are indebted to T. C. Pockman for the following
regarding the Order of
Free and Accepted Masons.
The first Masonic Lodge in this county was established
at Cacheville, June, 1854, by W. M., Parson Gray. The
charter members were: C. Traver, N. Wycoff, J. D. Ste-
phens, G. L. Brown and J. T. Boon.
The number of Lodges in the county is four, located at
Cacheyille, Woodland, Knight's Landing and Buckeye.
I^ames of the Lodges and the nights of holding meetings
are as follows :
Yolo Lodge, No. 81, Cacheville, A. Griffiths, Master,
meets Saturday on or before the full moon. This Lodge
has about fifty members.
Grafton Lodge, No. 141, Knight's Landing, E. L. Parre-
more, Master, meets on Saturday on or after the full moon.
This Lodge has a membership of about forty.
Woodland Lodge, No. 156, T. C. Pockman, Master, meets
on Friday on or before the full moon. This Lodge has a
membership of sixty -two.
Buckeye Lodge, No. 198, M. K. York, Master, meets on
Saturday on or before the full moon. This Lodge has
about thirty members.
In Woodland the Order have a fine brick hall in the
Mason's Block, on Main Street. The Order is in a very
flourishing condition; but not being informed, we can give
no fui'ther details regarding it.
I. O. O. F.
We are indebted to H. C. Grover, Recording Secretary
of Woodland Lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows,
for the following record of the Order in this county :
YOLO COUNTY. 129
Woodland Lodge, No. Ill, was organized on the seven-
teenth day of January, 1863, by R. W. Grand Warden
David Kendall, assisted by John B. Harmon and other
brothers of the Order from Sacramento City. The charter
members were: Elias Peterson, G. J. Overshiner, Manville
Barber, J. Wiley and A. Armstrong, who constituted the
officers for the first term — E, Peterson, N. G. ; G. J. Over-
shiner, V. G. ; Manville Barber, E. S. ; A. Armstrong, T.
Six persons joined as Ancient Odd Fellows, making, in all,
eleven members. • For some time the young Lodge held its
meetings in an old school-house in the eastern part of
town, from which they removed to the College building,
where the Lodge now holds its meetings. For two years
the Lodge struggled on, meeting but little encouragement
in the way of adding to the membership, besides being
heavily burthened with debt. About the first of April,
1865, one of their most prominent members met with an
accident which left him a cripple for life. This deplorable
accident enabled the members of the Lodge to display the
workings of their Order, and to illustrate, in the fullest
sense, the principles which govern them, by practically
demonstrating the grand and noble objects which have ren-
dered the Order so deservedly popular. That which, in
the weak and crippled condition of the Lodge, might have
been considered as a heavy blow, was really a blessing to
the Order, as through the sufferings of a member the
Lodge was enabled to practice the great principles of
charity and brotherly love which underlie the Order, in
fact constitute its foundation and its defenses. With this
incident began the prosperity of the Lodge. Its list of
members increased steadily until it now (August 1st, 1870)
numbers sixty-seven faithful and zealous members. A fine
new hall is being erected for Lodge purposes, at a cost of
four thousand two hundred dollars. It is expected that it
will be ready for occupancy by November 1st of the pres-
ent year.
The estimated assets of the Order (exclusive of the new
hall) are one thousand dollars. The Lodge has lost but one
member by death since its organization. Amount paid

Churches and Church Organizations.
We are indebted to the pastors of the several denomina-
tions for the following account of the various Churches in
the county:
The Methodist Episcopal Church
Was first organized in 1855, by J. W. Burton. The minis-
ters who have been in charge since are as follows: The
founder, or organizer, Mr. Burton, remained in charge from
1855 to 1856, when Eev. R. Hobart succeeded, remaining
through 1857 ; Bev. B. B. Dunlap officiated in 1858-9 ;
Rev. H. J. Bland, 1860 ; Bev. B. F. Meyers, 1861 ; J. Cor-
win, 1862 ; J. W. Burton resumed charge in 1863, but died
during that year and his place was supplied by Bev. Mr.
Bightmeyer ; Bev. W. N. Smith, 1861 ; Bev. P. Grove, 1865
(died in\870); Bev. W. C. Curry, 1866-7-8. Bev. W. C.
132 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Damon is the present incumbent — [since transferred to Salt
Lake City.]
The society has a brick church at Woodland, erected in
1866, at a cost of forty-five hundred dollars, and a parson-
age erected in 1862, valued at fifteen hundred dollars ; in
Cacheville, a frame church, built in 1868, valued at twenty-
five hundred dollars. Total value of church property, eight
thousand five hundred dollars. The number of members
are as follows: Cacheville Church, Eev. E. Stuart, pas-
tor, seventeen communicants, attendance fifty ; Woodland
Church, Eev. W. C. Damon, pastor, eighty communicants.
Sabbath Schools — One in Cacheville, attendance fifty; one
in Woodland, attendance seventy-five. Summary — Two
churches, with an average attendance of two hundred and
twenty-five : two Sabbath Schools, with one hundred pu-
pils ; church j)roperty, value at present ten thousand dol-
lars, original cost eight thousand five hundred dollars.
Christian Church.
We are indebted to Eev. J. N. Pendegast, pastor of this
church, at Woodland, for the following ' ' Statistics of the
Church of Christ (Disciples) :"
"The church at Woodland was organized early in 1854,
with about twenty-five members, Elders Thomas Thompson
and Joshua Lawson officiating. The membership has stead-
ily increased, large additions having been made from time
to time, until the whole number of names on the church
register exceeds six hundred. The present membership
numbers two hundred and fifty. In the town of Woodland
this society, as a church, have college property valued at
twenty thousand dollars and a brick church valued at eight
thousand dollars. The church service is held on the Sab-
bath, morning, afternoon and evening; besides the Sunday
School exercises. The Sunday School is very largely at-
tended — the pupils number over one hundred. In Buckeye
a church of this Order was organized in 1858, with twenty
members, and reorganized in 1865 with forty members. In
Fairview, or Gordon Valley, another church was organized
YOLO COUNTY. . 133
in 1868, with eigliteen members. Throiigliout tlie county
the church is in a most prosperous condition. Summary —
Three church organizations, membership three hundred
and fifty; Sabbath Schools (one returned), membership
over one hundred; value of church property, thirty thou-
sand dollars. The figures regarding the Sabbath Schools
are of necessity incomplete. The number of pupils prob-
ably approximates one hundred and fifty."
Southern Methodist Episcopal Church.
This organization has a fine church, now nearly com-
pleted, at Knight's Landing. It is frame, rustic design,
with a commanding spire. Its dimensions are thirty-four
by fifty feet. The contract price for the building is four
thousand dollars, S. Smith, contractor and builder. Rev.
Mr. Kelsey is the present pastor. We are uninformed re-
garding the strength of the society.
Cumberland Presbyterians.
This society has but a few members i^i the county. Ser-
vice is held occasionally at what is commonly known as
the Union Church, near Cacheville. Rev. M. M. Dodson,
residing near Woodland, is, we think, the only pastor
belonging to this denomination in the county.
The United Brethren.
This denomination hold service at Brown's school-house,
about two miles west from Woodland. Rev. G. C. Starr,
pastor.
Catholics.
This denomination have in course of construction a brick
church in Woodland, of which Rev. Father Kelly, of Fol-
som, is the pastor. When completed, the building will be
by far the finest building of the kind in the county. The
congregation is large and permanent, being composed
mostly of farmers, wealthy residents of the county. It
is expected that the church will be completed during the
year and a resident pastor established in Woodland.
134 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Congregational Church-
The first Congregational Clinrch of Woodland was organ-
ized during the present snmmer. At present tlie meetings
are held in Templars' Hall. The attendance averages about
fifty. A Sunday School has been organized with a large
attendance. Rev. S. R. Eosborro is the resident pastor.
At Cottonwood is a small congregation with a frt\me
church, built by the late Deacon Holden. ' This church has
no pastor at present; late incumbent, Rev. J. W. Brier.
Baptist Church.
This denomination have preaching in Woodland and at
two other points in the county. The church is now consid-
ering the propriety of establishing their headquarters for
Tolo County at Woodland, and erecting a sviitable place of
public worship. The Rev. J. E. Barnes is pastor. The two
organizations are called Plainfield Church and Grafton
Church, holding service at Plainfield and two miles north
from Cacheville. The entire church numbers about fifty
members.
Schools.
Owing to many causes, we are unable to present as de-
tailed a statement of school matters pertaining to the county
as we wished to. The marked apathy existing in many de-
partments, which has prevented a fair showing of important
interests, has defeated our aims. From the books of A. C.
Kean, County Treasurer, who has rendered us valuable as-
sistance, we have taken the following table, including the
report of the County Superintendent, of August 26th, 1870.
Names of districts, number of scholars and the amount of
apportionment to each district is given, together with the
balance on hand and credited to the fund of the districts
named. According to the report of the State Superintend-
ent, the whole number of school census children, between

136 THE WE^ERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
The scliool-liouses of tlie county are of varied cliaracter,
some being very good and others the opposite.
In Meritt's District, a brick school-house was erected by
a few individuals, Messrs. Cave and Curtis being the most
prominent in the enterprise. The main part of the ex-
pense was shared by these and a few others, who were dis-
posed to have a school and school-house in the community.
A new frame school-house was erected in Cottonwood last
year and partially finished inside. In Capay Valley we
find very good school-houses — one built by the late Mr, S.
Arnold, and a few others, being very creditable. Near
Woodland we find another brick school-house, and in
Washington a very creditable frame structure. The nar-
rowness of the inhabitable land along the Sacramento River
presents an insurmountable barrier to large schools in that
section. Being thinly settled in portions, the cost of main-
taining efficient teachers is severely felt, and the same stan-
dard of excellence is rarely reached there that is attained
in more favored localities. At Washington, Cacheville,
Knight's Landing and Woodland, the schools are kept up
to a high standard of merit. The returns not having been
made public, we give no percentage of attendance, how-
ever much we might wish to.

Manufacturing Interests of the County.
Under this head are included the flouring mills, saw
mills, sash and door mills, carpenter shops, blacksmith
shops, saddle and harness shops, boot and shoe shops,
wagon and carriage shops, and other branches of industry.
We have in our estimates not included the cost of material,
but simply the value of wares manufactured and the cost of
labor employed. From this estimate must be deducted the
cost of material, freight, loss, etc., which in many cases we
were unable to obtain. In connection with this branch of
industry, we take this opportunity of calling the attention
of mill-men and manufacturers to the fact that this county
possesses unrivalled water-power and facilities for the erec-
tion of large mills and manufactories. Great inducements
are ofiered for the erection of a woolen mill — such as free
power, sufficient stock for a full supply of material raised
in the county, light taxes, and many other considerations
of vital importance to capitalists. The annual increase of
sheep is a certain guarantee of an unlimited supply of wool
for a mill of the largest class. The enterprising citizens
should take this matter in hand and secure the speedy erec-
tion of this much-needed element of prosperity.
The county possesses all the requisites for successful
manufactories of various kinds, and we hope to see a sys-
tem inaugurated which shall add to our material wealth and
permanent population.
We are now placed in open competition with Eastern
manufactories and Eastern labor. We posssss all the ele-
ments for successful competition in our midst, and it re-
quires but the direction of capital and labor in a compara-
tively new channel to change the tide of exchange and
retain within our own State the money which has so long
138 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
enriched Eastern manufacturers and impoverislied our citi-
zens.
High prices affect not the trader, but the consumer. The
want of home industries affects not the rich; the loss is in-
variabl}^ borne by the poor. The laborer can well stand a
reduction in wages, provided the necessaries of life are re-
duced in a corresponding ratio.
That wages have decreased is a fact; that they will fall
still further is a foregone conclusion. We are no longer
isolated from the world; we have joined hands with all
nations and must expect their competition. To guard our-
selves and our State against the consequences sure to
follow this change, we must increase our manufactories so
as to enable us to compete with foreign consumers.
Flour-Mills.
Yolo county has three flour-mills, located as follows:
The Woodland Flouring Mills, Woodland; the Eagle Flour-
ing Mills, Knight's Landing; and the Cacheville Flour-
ing Mills, Cacheville.
The annual product of the mills averages about two hun-
dred and fifty thousand dollars in value, which could be
materially increased, as the mills possess a far greater
capacity, amounting to three hundred and fifty barrels per
twenty-four hours.
The brands of flour made at these mills rank among the
best, having been long and favorably known.
Lately the mills have all passed into the hands of enter-
prising and able men, who will,_ we hope, run them up
to their full capacity.
Eagle Mills.
These mills are now run by Eliodes, Beatty & Co. — J. E.
Rhodes, Sacramento City; George B. Beatty, of Knight's
Landing, and J. L. Eaves, of Woodland, comprising the
firm.
The first mill built in Knight's Landing was erected in
1856 by Lane & Sherman, and contained one run of stone.
YOLO COUNTY. 139
Tliis mill made very good flour, and stood until tlie grow-
ing trade compelled the erection of a larger structure.
In 18o9, Mr. Zebulon Gardner erected the present flour-
ing mill, which contains three run of French burrs, one run
being used for barley, corn, etc. This run is the old flour
run of the first mill.
The mill has a capacity of one hundred barrels in twenty-
four hours, and turns out very superior work. The brand
has taken the premium at the State Fair over all competi-
tors, and enjoys a reputation second to none in the State.
The mill has been running day and night for some time,
and will run in this manner during the fall and winter, the
proprietors being unable to otherwise supply the demand.
The proprietors purchase wheat for milling, paying the
highest market prices therefor, and in all respects seem in-
clined to render this in the future, as in the past, a first-
class mill.
Cacheville Flour-Mills.
These mills were erected in 1865, b}' Dingley & Hatch .
They have been in operation from that time until the spring
of the present year, when they were rented by E. TI.
Easthan, long and favorably known in connection with the
Eagle Mills, Knight's Landing. Mr. Easthan has thor-
oughly overhauled and rebuilt the mills, adding a steam
engine, thereby enabling him to carry on his business at
any season of the year. Formerly the motive power was
water.
Mr. Easthan has added a new run of French burrs, and
feels confident that with his experience as a miller (thirty
years), he can turn out as good work as can be found else-
where.
It is the intention to make this a first-class merchant and
custom-mill. A ready market for wheat can be obtained
here at all times. The mill has a capacity of one hundred
and fifty barrels in twenty-four hours.
Seely's Flour-Mill.
Mr. George B. Seelv is erecting a flour-mill on Putah
140 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Creek, the motive power of wliicli will be water. It will
contain two run of burrs, and be ready for business by the
last of October.
"Woodland Flouring Mills.
These mills w^ere erected by Adam Gerlach and F. S.
Freeman, in the spring of 1863. Since that time they have
been in constant use, turning out a large amount of work.
They are now run by Rhodes, Eaves & Co. — J. R. Rhodes,
of Sacramento; George R. Beatty, of Knight's Landing,
and J. M. Eaves, of Woodland, constituting the company.
These gentlemen have thoroughly overhauled and repaired
the mills, and are now prepared to do first-class work in
every particular. They will be run henceforth as mer-
chant and custom mills. The proprietors prepared the
mills expressly with this view. The farmers in the vicin-
ity can find here a ready market for their wheat. These
mills have a capacity of one hundred barrels per twenty-
four hours. Their average has been sixty barrels per day,
running eight months in the year.
CroTise's Saw-Mill
Is located at Washington Water Works, Washington. It
is used for wood-sawing for the railroad company and local
markets, also for light splitting. A turning lathe and
other machinery is connected with it. Motive, steam.
Value of trade, seventy-seven thousand dollars.
Newton's Mill,
At Woodland, contains circular and jig saws for light work.
Unused at present. Motive power, steam.
Smith's Mill.
Smith's carpenter-shop. Knight's Landing, is also pro-
vided with steam power, saws, turning-lathe and every
essential for rapid and complete work. Value of trade,
four thousand dollars.
YOLO COUNTY. 141
Sibley's Mill
Is located at Woodland. Motive power, steam. It is used
in connection with the carpenter-shop and connected with
a turning-lathe, planing machine and a morticing and ten-
oning machine. Motive power, steam. Value of trade,
about seven thousand dollars.
Sashes and Doors.
A sash and door manufactory is in full operation at
Woodland . It is connected with Sibley's Mill and owned
and conducted by him. The average annual value of the
articles manufactured in this department is four thousand
dollars.
Recapitulation of Mills.
Three flour mills, with a capacity of three hundred and
fifty barrels per twenty-four hours. Average time of labor,
eight months per year. Average capacity, eighty-four thou-
sand barrels. About thirty men are employed at these
mills, their aggregate earnings amounting to eighteen thou-
sand dollars. Average value of products, two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars (not half their capacity). Our esti-
mates are taken from the past season, before the mills were
repaired, and will probably fall short fully one-third of the
amount of this year's work. We have estimated the run-
ning time as eight months; it may be much larger for this
season.
The saw-mills and carpenter-shops enumerated employ
an average of twenty-three men, w^hose annual earnings
aggregate twenty-eight thousand dollars. Total earnings
of milling laborers, forty-six thousand dollars.
This resume includes only the milling interest of the
county in grain, and lumber, resawed or manufactured.
There are no lumber-mills, the county possessing no tim-
ber suitable for lumbering purposes.
Leaving this branch of industry, we pass to a brief re-
view of the
142 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Wagon, Carriage and Blacksmith Shops,
Whicli are connected in a manner that forbids a separate
consideration. There are twelve shops in the county where
wagon and carriage making is extensively conducted in
connection with blacksmithing, and in most of the other
shops repairing and a limited amount of new work is done.
As an evidence of the growth and prosperity of the county,
as illustrated by its manufactories, Ave give a short sketch
of
Elliott's Carriage Manufactory
And blacksmith-shop. In the spring of 1856 J. McClure
established the first blacksmith-shop in Woodland, then
known as "Yolo City." It stood nearly in front of F. S.
Freeman's old residence for some years, until removed to
where it now stands, in the rear of the present manufac-
tory. Theje was no wood department attached at first.
In the fall of that year (1856) E. R. Moses commenced
wood-working in the shop and continued till the following
spring, when he opened a shop on what is known as String-
town Lane. Meanwhile McClure had sold his interest to
J. Wilgamott, who conducted the business until August,
1857, when he sold the shop to E. E. Moses, who removed
from the lane and began business at the old shop, by first
rebuilding it and removing it to where it now stands.
From that time the business was under the supervision of
Moses, who soon acquired a large trade, which constantly
increased until he disposed of the business to the present
proprietor, Clark Elliott, in 1864. From this small begin-
ning has grown one of the largest manufacturing interests
in the county and one of the most noted shops in the State.
The reputation of the wagons first made was second to
none, and by careful attention to the rules of the trade that
reputation has been maintained. Fair dealing and good
work, the mainsprings of success in any industry, have ever
characterized the establishment, and have been the main
cause of the rapidly-spreading trade and increasing demand
for the products of the shop. Finding the old establish-
YOLO COUNTY. 143
ment too small for the growing trade, Mr. Elliott erected a
brick shop, two stories high, twenty-eight by sixty feet, in
the fall of 1866. The following year he added another, of
the same height, fifty-six feet front and sixty feet deep,
making a shop of ninety-four feet front and sixty feet depth.
We have no hesitancy in pronouncing this the finest and
best carriage-shop outside of San Francisco, and in its
completements and necessary machinery it is equal to any
in that city. About twenty men are employed in the shop,
which turns out from one hundred and twenty to one hun-
dred and fifty wagons and buggies during the yeai;. A
specialty has been made in buggies, a department for this
class, including trimming, having been established when
the new shop was built.
In connection with this shop, we take pleasure in calling
the attention of the public to the new style buggy springs
manufactured here, the patent right of which is held by
Messrs. Elliott & Hiller, the latter named gentleman being
the inventor. We clip the following description of the
article from the Scientific Press of September 24th, premis-
ing that it gives a better account of the invention than we
could. A cut of the springs when in position will be found
in another part of the Gazetteer :
" We have often spoken of the importance of improve-
ments in the construction of vehicles, with respect both to
the comfort of the person carried and to the ease of the
draft animal. We have now another invention of the kind,
which is well worth the notice of those who are accus-
tomed to ride considerably in carriages.
"This consists in a certain arrangement of the springs
and their connections, whereby all the motion imparted in
traveling is given directly from the center of the body, and
combining suitably inclosed rubber springs with wooden
ones, so that the carriage rides very easily and noiselessly.
A glance at the drawing will show how this is effected.
" Curved w^ooden springs. A, at each side of the body,
rise in an arch from the bolster and rear axle bed, being
connected at their centers by a stout transverse bar, shown
in the cut. To this bar, between the springs, A, is con-
144 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
nected also a similarly curved spring, B, wliich, however,
curves downward, and whose ends are fastened at or near
the ends of the carriage-bodj. Thus, all motion received
in passing over rough ground is transmitted to the body at
its center, instead of at the ends, as is generally the case.
The side motion, as well as the end motion, is also greatly
reduced.
"The two side springs, A., are connected to the body at
their center by a device denoted by C. This is constructed
as follows: Two metal plates are fastened as most con-
venient to the carriage body and extend down on each side
of the spring. A vertical slot at the lower part of each
plate, and a pin extending through this slot from the side
of the spring, guide it in its motion. BetAveen these plates
is a block of rubber, usually of the form shown, taper-
ing downwards towards each end, and curved springs in-
close this block above and below (between the plates), one
of which is fastened to the body, the other to the spring.
Any motion forward or back will cause these springs to
compress the rubber in that direction, without forcing it
out of place ; and if the pres'sure should be very great, the
ends of the springs will be brought together, and thus give
additional resistance.
" In order to give still greater elasticity, and at the same
time prevent the connection at the ends of A and B from
working loose, these ends are provided with slots, which
hold blocks of rubber, which rest on the bolts. This is
more especially necessary in the spring, B, as when the
carriage-body rocks forward and backward it causes consid-
erable end motion, which the lasticity of the spring, G,
would not be sufficient for.
" The inventor having made strong claims for the excel-
lence of his device, a representative of the Press was sent
to test it. After a satisfactory experiment, he reports that
for ease and comfort he knows of no superior, if of an
equal.
"A patent for this improvement was granted August
11th, 1870, through the Scientific Press Patent Agency, to
John R. Hiller and Clark Elliott, of Woodland, Yolo
YOLO COUNTY. 145
County, CaL, who may be addressed for any further infor-
mation."
This is one of the institutions that add wealth and pros-
perity to a phxce — first in the permanent and valuable build-
ings erected, and secondly in the products of the business.
Mechanics are producers; and a town can rate its wealth
and claim permanent prosperity according to its manufac-
tures. In this respect Woodland is far in advance of many
towns, her superiors in size but not in enterprising business
men and manufacturing interests.
There are other minor shops in Woodland where the
business of wagon-making is carried on to a limited extent,
among which are the shops of C. L. Beach, R. Diusmore
and Mr. Perry — all on Main Street.
Plummer's Shop.
At Knight's Landing is also a large shop, employing
twenty men and turning out a large number of vehicles of
every description. The annual number of wagons, bug-
gies, etc., reaches one hundred and fifty to two hundred,
manufactured and sold at his shop.
Peters & Howard's Shop.
This wagon-shop in Davisville, though much smaller than
either one mentioned, turns out a large amount of good
work. The specialty of this shop is wagons, light and
heavy, averaging from forty to fifty annually.
Robertson's Shop,
Also located in Davisville, is doing a good business in light
and heavy wagons, making from forty to fifty per annum.
Repairing and blacksmithing in all its branches is con-
nected with both shops.
We can only mention the most prominent shops; hence,
we pass to a brief summary of the trade :

one hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars. We have
not included cost of damaged material, rent of buildings,
bad debts, etc., in this estimate, which is based on figures
obtained from the leading shops.
With this 7'esume we pass to a consideration of the
Harness and Saddle-Shops.
We find a record of thirteen shops where the manufac-
ture of saddles and harness is conducted, the largest of
which (Deitz's) is situated in Woodland. The number of
men employed in this branch of manufactures is twenty-
one, whose annual earnings amount to twenty thousand
dollars. The value of articles made, including cost of ma-
terial, is seventy-three thousand dollars. From this must be
taken the cost of material, the amount of which we are un-
able to determine.
Boot and Shoe-Shops.
There are eleven boot and shoe-shops in the county,
with fifteen men, working at custom-work. The value of
the wares aggregate about seventeen thousand dollars.
Value of labor, eight thousand five hundred dollars. Esti-
mates of material consumed not criven.
Carpenters' Shops.
There are four large carpenter-shops and many small
ones in the county. No estimate of the value of the manu-
YOLO COUNTY. 147
factures can be given, as the material and labor are insep-
arably connected. There are ninety-five carpenters in the
county, about fifty of whom are working at their trade, the
others being employed at other vocations. Their earnings
may be estimated at fifty thousand dollars.
Cabinet-Shops.
There are three cabinet-shops in the county, where a lim-
ited amount of furniture is manufactured. The aggregate
value of wares is five thousand dollars.
Bakeries.
There are four bakeries in the count}^, doing an aggregate
business of sixteen thousand eight hundred dollars. The
labor of seven men is estimated at five thousand dollars.
Breweries— Yolo Brewery.
There are two large breweries in Woodland, one of which
(the Yolo Brewery) was established in 1861 b}" Scherley &
Miller, the present proprietors. The first brewery was a
small frame building, put up about two miles from town.
In 1862 it was moved to the site of the present brewery,
on Main Street, where it still stands by the side of the new
edifice. In 1868 the present brewery was erected, which is
forty by fifty feet, two stories high and built of brick. The
brewery has a capacity of six barrels per day, but is only
run for the home market, averaging about eight barrels per
week. A large still is included in the brewery, but is not
used, owing to the revenue restrictions. A part of the hops
used in brewing are raised by the proprietors, as well as a
large portion of the barley. Three men are employed con-
stantly, besides the proprietors.
"Woodland Brewery.
This brewery was established in February, 1870, by George
and John Wirth. This building is of wood, twenty by thirty
148 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
feet and one story high. Tlie brewery apparatus lias a ca-
pacity of five to six barrels per day, but is run only for
local market. The proprietors employ two men, and pur-
chase all their hops and barley.
It is the intention of the proprietors to enlarge their busi-
ness, and compete with other breweries for the trade in
other localities.
The beer manufactured in Yolo County has long sustained
a first-class reputation, it being asserted that the water is
peculiarly adapted to the business. The annual sales from
these breweries reach about fifteen thousand dollars.
"Wineries.
There are several establishments in Yolo County where
wine is manufactured in greater or lesser cjuantities. Sev-
eral farmers who have small vineyards make wine from
their surplus grapes. Of this class we make no mention,
as the amount so made is not prepared for market, and we
have no data by which to arrive at the quantity.
But there are several wineries where wine of various
brands is made; also, brandies and vinegar. First among
these, because the oldest, is the
Capay Valley Winery,
At Gillig's Kanch, Capay Yalley. At this place the annual
crop from the home vineyard is manufactured into wine,
beside the crops of several small vineyards in the surround-
ing neighborhood. About thirty thousand gallons of wine
are manufactured yearly at this j)lace — the white and red
varieties.
Woodland Winery No. 2.
This winery was established in July, 1869, by Messrs.
Lallemond & MendssoUe. Their specialties are claret and
champagne. In 1809 they purchased two hundred and ten
tons of grapes, from which they manufactured twenty-six
thousand gallons of wine and twenty-five thousand gallons
• YOLO COUNTY. 149
of brandy. Their liquors are sent to the Sau Francisco
market, a branch of their European house having been long
established in that city.
"Woodland "Winery No. 1 , or Stoutenberg's "Winery,
Was established September, 1866, by E. Barnes. On the
twenty-second of October, the first wine was made. The vint-
age of 1866 was twelve thousand gallons of wine and nine
thousand gallons of brandy.
In 1867, three thousand gallons of wine, two thousand
gallons of vinegar and eight hundred gallons of brandy
were manufactured.
In 1868, about the same amount was added. In 1869, the
winery was idle, and it so remained until 1870, when it was
purchased by the present proprietor, Mr. Stoutenberg.
About five thousand gallons of wine, red and white, are
now on hand of the vintage of 1866-7-8.
The Orleans-Hills "Winery
Is o^svTied by a joint-stock company; capital, one hundred
thousand dollars; place of business, Sacramento. The vine-
yard is located in the foothills, near the mouth of Cache
Creek Canon, about eighteen miles northwest from "Wood-
land. The vines are all on the hills, and receive no irriga-
tion. The varieties grown are selections from the best
known German and other foreign grapes, such as are pecu-
liarly adapted to wine-making. A very superior article of
white and red wine is prepared by this company, which
commands a high price and finds a ready sale. Five thou-
sand gallons were made last year. Mr. Knautli, a practical
German wine-maker, has charge of the business.
Schindler's "Winery.
At Cacheville, D. Schindler mamifactures wine of diflerent
qualities, including some choice varieties. There are sev-
eral places of smaller note in the county, but we have
glanced at the most prominent.
150 THE WESTERN SHOKE GAZETTEER. •
The estimated manufacture for tlie present year is put
down at one hundred thousand gallons of wine, valued at
fifty thousand dollars. AVe cannot estimate the brandy; in
that we can only take the last year's record, as much depends
on the price of new wines.
In 1869, about seven thousand gallons of brandy were
made, valued at ten thousand dollars. Total, wine and
brandy, sixty thousand dollars.
Refinery.
At Washington, a refinery has been established, for the
purpose of redistilling liquors, or the removing of the
fusil oil from liquors distilled in the ordinary way. The
parties putting up the machinery claim that they can remove
every particle of the fusil oil from the native liquors, there-
by removing the great objection to California brandies.
Should they be able to perform what they promise, it will
be of great benefit to the trade, as the chief objection
raised against California brandy is the great quantities of
this dangerous element found in all samples. So far it is
but an experiment, as the machinery was put up this sea-
son, and we are obliged to await results before determining
on the merits of the invention, which was patented but a
short time since by an Eastern distiller. Therefore we
make no estimates regarding the value of manufacturers,
neither can we estimate the value of labor connected there-
with. The proprietors, Messrs. AVilcox & Eock, are gentle-
men of large experience and practical workers. We may
confidently expect satisfactory results from the undertaking.
Success in this direction will be of incalculcable benefit to
the wine- and brandy-makers of the State.
Brick Making and Erick- Yards.
In Woodland are two large brick-yards, owned by Nathan
Elliott and Mr. Craft. These yards do a largo business, as
lurgo or larger than all other yards in the county com-
bined.
YOLO COUNTY. 151
Elliott's Brick- Yard.
In the spring of 1865 Mr. Elliott commenced the manu-
facture of brick in Woodland, making during that season
.three hundred and fifty thousand brick. In 1866 he made
seven hundred and fifty thousand. During those two
years Mr. Elliott's yard was the only one in Woodland.
In 1867 A. Armstrong opened a brick-yard, the number
made by him being six hundred thousand. That season
Elliott turned out five hundred thousand brick. In 1868-9
the yard was idle, its owner being engaged in other busi-
ness. This present season Elliott's yard will turn out
twelve hundred thousand brick. Thus far the brick made
in Woodland has been used in that town. With the facili-
ties of railroad transportation the Woodland brick-yards
can now compete successfully with those of any part of the
State. The quality manufactured is inferior to none, and
they can be furnished anywhere along the railroad at San
Francisco or Sacramento prices.
Cacheville Brick- Yard.
About half a mile from Cacheville, on the Woodland
road, is the brick-yard and kilns of Mr. Lott Day. About
two hundred and fifty thousand brick are made here an-
ually and are disposed of in the local market.
Lang's Brick- Yard.
At the mouth of Cache Creek Caiion, twenty miles north-
east from Woodland, J. Lang has established a large brick-
yard, which will be conducted as a permanent business.
The quality of the brick is excellent, and the nature of the
soil is such that suj)erior facilities are afforded for making
an excellent article. The market for this yard will be found
both in the local demand and other parts of the county.
About two hundred and fifty thousand will be made at this
yard this season.
152 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Craft's Brick- Yard
Is located in Woodland, and was established in 1867.
Since it lias been in operation it lias turned, out a large
quantity of excellent brick, most of which have been used _
in Woodland. In fact, there has been at no time in Wood-
land any great amount of brick left over after the building
season Avas past, when it was often extremely difficult to
obtain small quantities; but this will be remedied in*the
future. Craft's jard will turn out two million brick this
year, which, with those made at the other yards, will meet
the constantly increasing demand.
At Elliott's, Craft's and Lang's yards, the proprietors
will keep a full supply on hand.
About four million two hundred thousand brick will be
made in the county this season, valued at twenty-nine thou-
sand seven hundred dollars.
Tailors.
There are three tailor-shops in Woodland, confined to cus-
tom-work. The trade being limited to this class of work,
Ave record no employees, the business being conducted by
the proprietors. We have no means of knowing the annual
trade, and therefore make no estimate.
Chicory.
Ill 1860 Adolph Palm and Henry Harmes commenced the
cultivation and manufacturing of chicory, on the Sacra-
mento Kiver, a few miles below Washington. Their first
experiment was Avitli seed imported from Germany, which
proved successful. The first year they planted fifteen acres,
which they have gradual!}^ increased, until noAv they culti-
vate sixty acres. The average yield is about thirty tons of
green chicory. When prepared for market it is shipped
dried to San Francisco, and there sold at Avholesale.
The article is pronounced superior to the imported, and
coiniiiaiids eight to nine cents per pound. The cost of the
imported article in the United States is estimated at four
YOLO COUNTY. 153
million dollars per annum, which could all be supplied
from this State would producers but 'turn their attention to
it. There is almost unlimited quantities of suitable land
along the rivers and creeks of this State, sufficient at least
to raise all the chicory consumed in the Union.
At present there is a duty of five per cent, on the im-
ported article, which enables our people to compete with
the cheaper foreign labor. Should that be removed it
would be impossible to compete with the foreign produc-
tion and the growing of chicory in California would cease
to be profitable, and consequently would be abandoned.
We are informed by Mr. Palm that ten years of consec-
utive seeding has not injured the land or abated the yield;
on the contrary, the land appears to have improved under
the culture.
Chicory, when properly prepared, is used as a substitute
for cofi'ee, being generally mixed with it in the proportion
of one pound of chicory to three of coffee; and generally
the ground coffee on sale is one-third chicory. Many pre-
fer the mixed article, and there have been times in San
Francisco when chicory commanded a higher price than
coffee, owing to the supply being insufficient to meet the
demand for that particular kind of coffee which is so largely
composed of chicory.
When growing, chicory root somewhat resembles the
wild parsnip in appearance, though the leaves are long,
slender and swordlike, with smooth edges. The clusters of
leaves, in formation and manner of growth, resemble the
beet-top, though each individual leaf bears no resemblance
to the leaf of the beet. In color they are of a bright green,
while the bulb or root, is a dirty, yellowish white.
The ground is prepared for chicory the same as for beets
or carrots. The seed is then planted in drills, about
eighteen inches or two feet being left between the rows.
It is planted from the latter part of February until the
middle of April, thus avoiding the ripening of the whole
crop at one time. It has been sown as late as the fifth of
May, and ripened well, producing a good yield.
Sometimes the growing crop is injured by a species of
154 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
flea wliicli eats the tops, thereby stunting the growth of the
root. This pest rarely makes its appearance, however, and
as a general rule the plant is molested by nothing and
requires no more care than that necessary to keep the
grouiid clear of weeds.
There are employed on this chicory farm nine white men,
the year together; and during the harvesting and curing of
the crop twenty-five Chinamen are employed.
When fully ripe the chicory is pulled and the root separ-
ated from the top, the latter being of no value. The roots
are then run through a cutter, which cuts them in thin
slips. After they pass through the cutter they are spread
out on the platforms to dry in the sun. This occupies from
four to six days, according to the weather. There are two
platforms for drying the root, raised about four feet from
the ground and covered with boards. One is eighty-four
by one hundred feet, the other forty-eight by one hundred
and seventy-five feet. When sufficiently cured the chicory
is removed to the mill, where it is placed in two revolving
iron drums and thrust into the furnaces, where it is roasted.
This is a very nice and particular ojieration, and great care
must be exercised lest the "batch" be spoiled. From the
drums it is removed to the coffee-mill, where it is ground;
from thence to the packing-room, where it is packed in bar-
rels containing from one hundred and fifty to two hundred
pounds and shipped to market.
This may serve to inform our readers of the manner in
which chicory is grbwn and prepared for their tables.
The mill, engine and machinery cost about ten thousand
dollars. The yearly sales from this establishment approxi-
mate fifty thousand dollars. Cost of labor, ten thousand
dollars.
Recapitulation.
We have now glanced at the most important branches of
industry, with the ^exception of the dairy, whitsh will be
treated in connection with the dairy farms of the county.
AVe will briefly recapitulate the value of manufactures, so
far as can be ascertained.
YOLO COUNTY. 155
In forming the estimates for the flour-mills we took last
year's reports, and upon that shall base our estimates for
this year. We have also, in most cases, recorded the work-
ing time of mechanics and shops at eight months. The
various wages of tradesmen have been reckoned at the
average prices- — three dollars, three dollars and fifty cents,
and four dollars per day, exclusive of board. We find the
annual value of the flouring trade to be two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars. Saw-mills and sash and door manu-
factory, twelve thousand dollars. Employed in these two
branches, fifty-three men; wages, forty-six thousand dollars.
In the mills and carpenter-shops, the work might safely be
put down for the year, instead of the time we have com-
puted. Wagon, carriage and blacksmith trade, three hun-
dred and thirty-five thousand dollars; cost of labor, one
hundred and nine thousand dollars. Harness and saddle
trade, fifty-three thousand dollars; cost of labor, twenty
thousand dollars. Boot and shoe trade, seventeen thousand
dollars; cost of labor, eight thousand five hundred dollars.
Carpenters' trade (no estimate) ; cost of labor, fifty thousand
dollars. Cabinet-ware trade, five thousand dollars. Bak-
er's trade, sixteen thousand eight hundred dollars; cost of
labor, five thousand dollars. Brewers' trade, fifteen thou-
sand dollars; cost of labor (j)roprietors not included),
three thousand dollars. Wine and brandy trade, sixty
thousand dollars; cost of labor, seven thousand dollars.
Brick trade, twenty -nine thousand four hundred dollars;
cost of labor, five thousand dollars. Chicory trade, fifty
thousand dollars ; cost of labor, ten thousand dollars.
Total value of manufactures, eight hundred and forty-three
thousand two hundred dollars. Total value of labor so
engaged, two hundred and sixty-three thousand five hun-
dred dollars. Total cost of material used, no reliable
estimate as a whole, but parts of the trades enumerated,
return sums that foot up over three hundred and forty
thousand dollars.
To this summary may be added the tinners' trade, which
employs about eight men, at a yearly pay-roll of six thou-
sand dollars, making two hundred and sixty-nine thousand
156 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
five liundred dollars paid the various branches of manufac-
tures enumerated. The sum will be increased to three hun-
dred thousand dollars by smaller branches, of which no
mention has been made. In including expenses of manu-
factures, we must consider all material used, rent and in-
surance, value of property, machinery, etc., and these par-
ticulars we were unable to obtain in season for this volume.
Hence, the expenses attending these manufactures, with
but few exceptions, have been omitted, as the data furnished
us was too crude to be of service.
Imports.
Under this head we include all articles of merchandise,
but nothing further. Stock of several varieties have been
imjoorted during the year, as will be mentioned elsewhere.
For our purpose, the import trade of our merchants is suf-
ficient. From our most reliable business men we have
received full information, from which we base our estimates.
The sums given embrace the lumber trade, which is very
large — much heavier for this and the last year than it has
been at any previous time. This fact is owing to the spirit
of improvement manifested by our citizens. Buildings of
various kinds are going up all over the county, and the un-
sightly cabins are rapidly giving place to comfortable and
in many instances elegant and costly dwellings. Farms that
have long "laid out to the commons," as it would be termed
elsewhere, are being fenced as rapidly as the means of the
owners Avill permit. Owing to this our imports present an
alarming array of figures, which, if not rightly understood,
would subject us to the charge of extravagance. For many
years to come the imports of lumber in this county will
reach up among the hundred thousands, or about half a
million per year — another reason why this county should
be connected by rail with the Mendocino lumber regions.
Another very large item in our import list is hardware
and agricultural tools. A glance at the books of our im-
porters will give an idea of the magnitude of this branch
of imports. Gray A: AVood, of Woodland, and Griffith &
YOLO COUNTY. 157
Co., of Cacheville, import largely of this class. Mncli of
this might be saved the county were the manufacturing in-
terest properly represented. We notice among the articles
at Gray & Wood's many manufactured entirely of Eastern
material and by Eastern labor. These articles could be
made here and sold as cheaply as now, and the profits of the
labor retained in our midst.
The amount of our annual imports foot up to two million
three hundred and eighty-one thousand seven hundred and
thirteen dollars.
List of the Heaviest Importers.
Gray & Wood, Woodland, hardware and agi'icultural
tools.
Griffith & Co., Cacheville, general merchandise and ag-
ricultural tools.
F. S. Freeman, Woodland, general merchandise.
Huston & Goldman, Knight's Landing, dry goods.
Dresbach & Co., Davisville, general merchandise.
Laugenour & Brownell, Knight's Landing, farming imple-
ments and lumber.
Fleishman & Kaufman, Woodland, dry goods and gro-
ceries.
Exports.
The principal articles of export are wheat, barley, fruit
of all kinds, vegetables, stock of all kinds, dairy products,
wood, wool, wine, eggs, poultry, and the eggs of the silk-
worm. Hay cannot be considered as fonning a part of our
exports, as the average product is no more than used here.
It is true that from part of the county hay is exported in
considerable quantities during some seasons, but a fair
average of one year with another would leave but little, if
any, surplus in the county. From various sources, our ex-
ports foot up to two million nine hundred and forty-eight
thousand eight hundred and twenty dollars.
List of the Heaviest Exporters.

Among our heavy exporters of stock we could enumerate
many whose sales run far up in the thousands annually, but
a reference to our stock table is sufficient, and will answer
every purpose.
We now turn our attention to other matters of interest
connected with the county.
Sales of Town Lots.
The following table shows the principal sales of town
lots in the several towns of Yolo County since the first of
January, 1869, as shown by the records. The names of
the grantees are alphabetically arranged. Other transfers
have been made by deeds of gift and for nominal consider-
ations :

Sales of Land.
The following table shows the principal sales of farming
and gardening lands in Yolo County since the 1st of Janu-
ary, 18G9, as shown by the county records up to August 1st,
1870. The names of the grantors are alphabetically ar-
ranged. There have been many other transfers of real
estate, but the lands conveyed thereby have been in some
instances swamp and overflowed, in others mountain lands,
and in others transfers of possessory rights, without title,
so that it is believed the table shows a fair estimate of the
transfers of the farming lands Avithin the time specified :

Grape Culture.
As will be seen by reference to other parts of this work,
the grape is largely cultivated in this county. The princi-
pal variety now bearing is the Mission or California grape,
though many foreign varieties have been planted, and are
now producing excellent fruit. Those now engaged in put-
ting out vineyards, mostly choose the foreign grape, prefer-
ing them for wine-making for various reasons. The number
of acres in grapes is about five hundred, not including many
small lots. The value of the grape culture is best exempli-
fied by taking the records of those who have made it a spe-
cialty. Mr. N. Wyckoff, near Woodland, says: "At one
cent per pound — assured — there is more money in the grape
than in wheat. It will pay three times better, considering
the cost of plowing, harvesting, wear of land, etc." In 1862,
the gross yield of his grapes i)er acre amounted to one hun-
dred and sixty-two dollars, netting him one hundred and
twenty-five dollars per acre. If the farmer nets from seven
to twelve dollars per acre on wheat, he does well — better
by far than the average. One great want is felt, which, if
supplied, would render grape culture one of the leading
features of the county — an assured home market. If an
organization could be formed, with capital sufiicient to
carry on wine-making and purchase the grapes grown in
the county, but a few years would elapse before a large
portion of the lands suitable would be planted in vineyards.
J. Knauth, who has had the benefit of a California expe-
rience in wine-making, pronounces the foothills of Yolo
County, or portions of them, equal to the vine lands of
Germany. As he possesses a scientific education, com-
bined with a practical experience of twenty years in the
vineyards of Germany, he should be considered good au-
thority in this matter. Mr. Knauth visited the whole wine-
growing portions of the State, and, after carefully and
critically analyzing the soil in various localities, finally set-
tled on the foothills of Yolo, as possessing the natural qual-
ities of soil required to enable the wine grape to be grown
successfully. One main feature of the foothills essentially
YOLO COUNTY. 171
requisite in grape-growing districts, where it is intended to
make wine, is the absence of alkali. Another fact which
recommends them is this — the racy nature of the soil and
the j)resence of the bed-rock, or a very hard substratum
near the surface; this also being considered by grape-
growers as essential. For these reasons principally the
Orleans Yinicultural Association has located its vineyard,
on the hills, near Capay Valley, where Mr. Knauth first
started his vineyard, which now forms part of the Com-
pany's grounds. The quality of this wine and the superior
price obtained for it, at home and abroad, fully justify Mr.
Knauth's predictions and selection.
Stock Interests of the County— Horses.
It is frequently said, when speaking of this county, that
it is a grain county, and has only this one reliance; hence,
in seasons when the grain crops fail, this county feels the
loss more than many others. The remark is correct in the
main, but still a very large amount is invested in stock in
the county, a portion of which will not yield a large per
cent, on the money invested, taking the supposed value of
such stock as a basis for calculation. Poor stock, or poor
qualities of stock, such as mustang horses and bronco cat-
tle, will not pay well in any county, in comparison with bet-
ter breeds. The half-breed cattle, now nearly exhausted in
this county, do well for beef, but this market presents no
demand for half-breed horses for the butchers' stalls. Al-
though ready to adopt most of the French customs, the peo-
ple of Yolo have not yet tried horse flesh as an article of
food. There are in the county a large number of half-breed
and mustang horses that to-day would not sell for the half
of what it has cost to raise them, where pasturage is at all
valuable or scarce, as it is in this county. Instead of di-
minishing, they are on the increase in portions of the
county, where allowed to run at large, and the consequent
result has been large bands of horses of little value, which
deprive an equal number of good horses of a place in the
range. Were this matter rectified and clean cattle and

lioi'ses put in their place, tlie stock valuation of Yolo County
would be doubled at once. To those wishing to purchase
saddle or light draft horses, we would say come to Yolo;
they are plenty here and should be cheap.
Aside from this class, the county can truly boast of fine
horses. Our most enterprising farmers have rid themselves
of their half-breeds and mustangs and supplied the deficit
with fine American stock. Many of our wealthier citizens
have imported the best blooded stallions and brood mares
to be had, of draft, carriage and roadster stock, including
some of the best trotters in the State. A reference to the
reports of the State Agricultural Society will enable one to
form a very correct estimate of the quality of the stock in
this county, for we find that Yolo has received a fair share of
premiums, and has exhibited her full proportion of blooded
horses, along with other first-class stock-cattle, sheep and
swine. The whole number of horses in the county is eight
thousand eight hundred and eighty-six, valued at five hun-
dred and thirty-three thousand one hundred and sixty dol-
lars.
Mules.
The whole number of mules is one thousand and thirty-
five, valued at one hundred and three thousand five hundred
dollars.
Jacks and Jennies.
The whole number is — Jacks, two; Jennies, twenty-three;
total, twenty-five, valued at three thousand five hundred
dollars.
Cattle.
The county is well supplied with good cattle, and in parts
of the county one can find very choice blooded stock. This
can be traced in a measure to the influence of the State Fairs,
but more particularly to a circumscribed limit of pasturage
or range. We notice that those localities nearer the City
of Sacramento average better cattle, as a rule, than is found
in parts more remote. The lists of entries of cattle for

competition at the fairs are in favor of these localities, per-
haps owing to the fact that they possess the advantages of
living near the fair-grounds. But as the range for stock has
1 een narrowed by the encroachment of the grain fields, it
has been found necessary to improve the breeds, and, with
a few head, reap as much or more profit than was formerly
received from large herds of small, scrawny, light stock,
such as formerly ranged over these plains.
This restriction, not being so much felt in the unsur-
voyed mountain ranges, the quality of the stock has not
been improved in those localities in the same ratio, though
great progress is now visible in the increasing excellence of
the herds in that section. The whole number of cattle in
the county is eleven thousand four hundred and twenty-four
head, divided as follows: Milch cows, three thousand three
hundred and thirty; work oxen, four; other cattle, eight
thousand and ninety head; value, three hundred and thirty-
two thousand seven hundred and twenty dollars.
Hogs.
The "root of all evil," the proverb says is money. The
root of Yolo County is hogs — hogs in the marshes, hogs on
the plains, hogs in the mountains, hogs everywhere, and a
few scattering ones running around loose. The mountains
are full of wild hogs and the valleys support their share of
tame ones. Hog traps are plenty in the hills, and hog hunts
are becoming as plenty and famous as the royal boar hunts
of old.
The profits arising from raising this animal are very great,
as it is very prolific, arrives at maturity early, and eats what
other animals refuses, yet refuses what other animals will
eat. There are few counties in the State so well adapted to
the wants of this animal as Yolo County. The vast marshes
are well supplied with esculent roots, on which the hog de-
lights to feed — in fact this animal prefers roots. The moun-
tain ranges furnish vast fields of pasturage of little value to
the cattle, and the chapparel berries refused by other stock
are eagerly sought by the peculiar animal under considera-
174 'I'HE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
tion, aucl wlien driven from tlie liills to tlie stubble field of
the plains, he is generally sleek and fat. During the fall
vast droves of hogs can be seen scattered through the
stubble fields fattening preparatory to being driven to mar-
ket. The general breeds now common are the Suftblk,
Berkshire and Chinese. The whole number of hogs in the
county, as near as can be estimated, is thirty thousand seven
hundred and twentj'-five, valued at one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars.
Sheep,
This county is becoming well supplied with sheep, many
of w^hich are of excellent quality. Several years since,
Messrs. Gillig & Arnold imported some very fine Merino
sheep for their ranch in Capay Yalley; and in this connec-
tion we will remark that they also purchased for the same
place some fine Cashmere goats, male and female; but of
the result of the latter venture we have no record. The in-
creased value and improved quality of the sheep in that
locality is due in a great measure to this importation, giving
as it did an impetus in the right direction. Later, the
Hoppin Brothers, of Cacheville, became the owners of some
Cotswolds, from Avhich they have secured one of the finest
bands of sheep in the county. Judge Hutton, also of
Cacheville, has full-blood Spanish Merinos, his whole band
averaging three-fourths to seven-eighths blood of that vari-
ety. We might enumerate others, but these stand more
prominently before the public as men who have taken more
interest in perfecting their stock of various kinds, and have
expended much time and money in experiments tending to
that result. The raising of sheep has so far proved very
profitable, and the interest in this branch of stock is yearly
increasing. The whole number of sheep in the county is
seventy- three thousand two hundred and twenty-one; value,
one hundred and fifty-three thousand four hundred and
fifty-two dollars.

County Finances.
There is money now in the county treasury to pay all war-
rants issued and registered on the general fund prior to
the second day of March, 1869; and the taxes to be col-
lected the present season will doubtless extinguish all the
indebtedness of that fund up to August of the present year.
Warrants on this fund sell at eighty -seven per cent.
Hospital Fund.
There is money now in the treasury to pay all indebted-
ness of this fund that accrued prior to December 8th,
1869. The taxes of the present season will extinguish the
indebtedness. Warrants sell at ninety cents.
The Road Fund is behind from December 8th, 1868.
The taxes of the present year may pay all indebtedness of
that fund that accrued prior to January, 1870.
Of the Swamp Land Fund there is now in the county
treasury a surplus of six thousand seven hundred and

We have now given brief notices of the leading interests
of the county, as far as the size and nature of our work
would permit. We will briefly refer to the general
Climate
Of the county. The winters are mild, snow rarely falling
in the valley, and we believe it has not fallen to lie twelve
hours but twice within the recollection of the "oldest
inhabitant." Frosts are frequent during the winter sea-
son, sometimes freezing thin ice on shallow, still water.
In the foothills but little frost is felt, and from the first
rains vegetation grows rapidly. During the summer the
heat is very severe, the thermometer frequently standing at
one hundred degrees and upwards for several days in suc-
cession, though the average length of the ' ' hot spells " is
about three days, when a cooler "spell" sets in, continu-
ing from a week to ten days. The south wind generally is
cool and refreshing, and accompanies the cooler weather,
bringing the invigorating sea breezes in its train. The
cessation of the south wind is frequently followed by the
north wind, which in summer is hot, dry and scorching in
the extreme, but in the rainy season it is cold and dry, gen-
erally, but if accompanied by rain, the storms are the most
bleak of the season.
Newspapers.
In the historical part of this work will be found a record
of the newspapers of the past. We, dealing only Avith the
present, ofter the following sketch of the newspapers now
published :
The " Yolo Democrat."
This journal was established November 23d, 1867, by
W. A. Henry & Co., publishers; edited by Mr. Henry. It
was thus conducted until May 1st, 1868, when it passed
YOLO COUNTY. 177
into the hands of the "Democrat Publishing Company,"
tinder whose management it remained until September
30th, 1869. During this period the paper was conducted
strictly as a Democratic journal, as its name implies, and,
by the way, it holds and enunciates the same doctrines
now. On September 30th, 1869, Messrs. H. C. Groverand
William Saunders became the proprietors, and the paper
was increased to its present size at the commencement of
its third year and volume, the old type giving place to a
new dress. It is now a twenty-four by thirty-six sheet,
equal in tj'pographical appearance to any country paper.
With this change the word " County " was dropped from
the heading, leaving the present name. Grover & Saun-
ders continued the publication until February 1st, 1870,
when Mr. Grover withdrew from the firm and William
Saunders became sole owner. It is now published and
edited by him as a strictly Democratic journal, and is de-
servedly popular with the party. It has a large circulation,
and as an advertising medium it is equal to any. It is now
the official paper of the county, steadily increasing in cir-
culation, and fast achieving an enviable success. The job
office connected with this journal is complete and ample
for all business demands, and the work will compare favor-
ably with any turned out elsewhere. Day of publication,
Saturday.
The ''Yolo Weekly Mail."
The first number of this journal was issued on the first
Thursday of October, 1868, by C. Y. Hammond, editor
and proprietor. It was in the midst of the political excite-
ment of the Presidential campaign, and the Union Kepub-
lican party being without an organ in Yolo County, the
leading men of the party determined to found a newspaper
which should represent their political views, believing that
such a journal could be maintained and become a perma-
nent institution. Accordingly, C. Y. Hammond, an old
editor and publisher, of Amador County, was conferred
with, and the result was the establishment of the Yolo
Weekly Mail, as stated in the opening of this paragraph.
12
178 THE WESTERN SHORE GAZETTEER.
Mr. Hammoud published the paper with marked success
during the campaign of 1869, and the patronage extended
evidences the success of the experiment. With the ad-
vance of the prosperity of the community, the patronage of
the journal and its circulation has steadily increased to the
present time, when the journal stands on a firm founda-
tion.
On the twenty-third of December, 18G9, Mr. Hammond
disposed of the office to Messrs. Wagstaff and Jones, by
whom it was published, the former being editor, until the
twenty-third of May, 1870, when Mr. Joues retired and the
present editor and proprietor became sole owner. With
the first change mentioned, when Messrs. Wagstaff and
Jones became the proprietors, the features of the paper
were materially changed in all but its political views.
During the winter of 1869-70, the future was rather gloomy,
owing to the scarcity of money in the county and the an-
ticipation of short crops. But the citizens of Woodland
have generally proven themselves equal to any emergency,
and with the spring came increased patronage and an as-
sured success.
On Mr. Wagstaff's assuming sole control of the journal,
he immediately relieved it of the heavy debt by which it
was burdened and placed it upon a secure basis financially.
The circulation of the journal is large and constantly in-
creasing, and, as an advertising medium, it has no superior
in the county. The job office is complete in all its details,
and is presided over by an excellent workman. Politically
the paper is now, as when first issued, an uncompromis-
ing Kepublican journal. Day of publication, Thursday.
City Papers.
The circulation of other journals in the county is very
large, the Sacramento Union having the lead, followed by
the San Francisco Chronicle, which holds the second
place. The Becord and Bee, of Sacramento, also have
a large circulation, and the Bulletin and Call of San
YOLO CODNTY. 179
Francisco are taken largely, the former by business firms,
for its shipping and mercantile reports.
Among the weeklies the Bescue leads the list, except-
ing the Weekly Union, which is found in most of the farm-
houses in the county. It is very rare now that you find a
farm-house in the county that has not one or both of the
county papers and a weekly beside, and a daily if practica-
ble. With increased mail facilities a large increase would
be noted in the circulation of daily journals in the county.

PROSPECTIYE EEYIEW.
We have now finished our descriptive local matter, and
from what we have written we trust the reader can form a
very correct estimate of the importance, value and general
characteristics of Yolo County. Before we close "this vol-
ume we desire to say a few words to
Emigrants,
And to those who desire to see this county peopled by an
industrious and energetic population, who shall settle on
the rich lands which lie so invitingly before them, making
permanent homes in our midst, thus adding to the general
wealth and prosperity of the county. Such is our earnest
wish, and such, we believe, is the wish of all who have the
interest of the county at heart and possess liberal views
regarding the right of labor to seek a home among us.
Especially do we desire to welcome that class of emigrants
who come to till the soil, to extract from thence the wealth
now slumbering there. We desire to see these broad
plains dotted with farmhouses, each of which shall be a
home, the citadel of a homestead. We desire to see the
now unoccupied hillsides settled, and in place of the dry,
parched, brown surface, behold green vineyards and pleas-
200 THE WESTERN SHORE GA^IETTEER.
ant fields of fruit, wliose annually increasing wealth shall
swell the golden tide until its shallow stream shall assume
its true proportions, and, from a rivulet, become a mighty
river. Until such changes ghall have been made, the real
wealth and capabilities of the county can only be conjec-
tured.
It is true that we desire to see this change, promising, as
it does, so much of good, so much that is desirable. The
most careless reader of these pages cannot fail of arriving
at a correct conclusion regarding the capability of the
county to support a population four-fold its present num-
ber. In order to secure an increase of population, it would
be proper to enumerate the advantages we have to offer
emigrants to induce them to cast their lot with us. How-
ever much we may wish it were otherwise, truth compels
us to admit that those advantages are very few. Let us
enumerate them :
A soil of surpassing fertility, a genial climate, good
water (generally easy of obtaining), a healthy country,
good sdiools, and more than an average variety'of relig-
ious denominations with which to afiiliate.
That is about all we think of, and more than rightfully
belongs in the list, for the incomparable soil of which Cali-
fornians are so apt to boast is no longer open for entry by
the poor man, be he immigrant or native.
It seems rather rough on speculators and Immigrant Aid
Societies to even attempt to disprove the oft-repeated as-
sertion that California has lands enough for all who choose
to settle within her borders. "We will not deny the asser-
tion. It is true — if the parties seeking land are not par-
ticular regarding quantity, location, quality or price. But
still, with all due deference to the journals (who should
know better) that constantly reiterate the cry of free lands
for immigrants, we purpose to state briefly the inducements
to immigrants ■ that are presented by Yolo County. The
immigrant desires land -good land, Government land —
such as he can enter at Government price, such as he can
till, and from which he can receive immediate returns.
There is no such land in Yolo County; and we submit the
YOLO COUNTY. 201
proposition to tliose best acquainted with the land interest,
that the same state of affairs exists throughout the whole
State.
We admit that there is plenty of land for sale, but at
prices ranging far beyond the means of the ordinary immi-
grant. We admit that there are vacant lands, rich in natu-
ral wealth, that can still be had of the Goyernment; but
those lands are of the foothill and mountainous districts,
and fit only for the vine and fruit culture. To the poor
immigrant they possess no attraction, because he must be
j)ossessed of capital sufficient to enable him to live for
three or four yedrs before he can expect to receive any
return from his investments, should he settle on and im-
prove those lands. During the interval between planting
the vineyard or orchard and its bearing season, he must
trust to labor or the renting of lands. In either case, the
prospect is none of the brightest for him during that inter-
val. We have more laborers now than can find profitable
employment; we have more renters than farms offered for
rent. Then what inducement have we to offer the immi-
grant, that shall cause him to pass by the Government lands
of Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, or Illinois, the soil of which is (y
equal to any in the world. Truly we have nothing — except
a more genial climate. We would invite those editors who
are continually calling for immigrants, to take a trip through
the State and satisfy themselves regarding this matter.
Can they for a moment believe the oft-repeated assertion,
that there is "good land in plenty for all," after they have
seen the thousands of farmers who annually rent farms,
because they can find no vacant lands on which to settle
that would insure them a living ? Let them take note of
the hundreds and thousands of farm laborers in this State,
who can find employment only about sis months of the
year. Let them take further and final note of the vast land
monopolies that have swallowed up all the available lands
of the State, make a record of the prices at which those
lands are held, and then we venture the assertion that they
Avill coincide with us in the opinion that neither Yolo
202 THE WESTERN SHOKE GAZETTEER.
County, nor yet tlie State, lias any superior inducements
to offer immigrants.
The curse of land monopoly lias destroyed the hopes of
the immigrants, who, if well informed, know that they
cannot hope to obtain land here on terms that will com-
pare with the inducements offered them elsewhere. The
fact is well known, that the majority of the available lands
are held by speculators, at prices far beyond the reach of
a poor man.
It is argned that these speculators must sell, in time;
that these tracts must be broken up; that they cannot hold
them long, on account of interest, taxes and other causes.
Let us see : The first cost of these lands was one dollar
and twenty-five cents per acre in greenbacks — ^equivalent to
about eighty cents, gold, when these lands were purchased.
These lands are held at from ten to fifty dollars per acre,
according to locality — and what is of more importance,
they sell for these sums when sold at all. They are rented,
or most of these tracts are, and yearly bring the owner a
large interest on the prices asked. They are taxed — yes,
they are taxed; but how much? Land that sells from ten
to fifty dollars per acre is taxed at three dollars to fifteen
dollars per acre. Is it probable that wealthy men will part
with property worth ten thousand dollars— bringing a large
interest on that sum — and only paying taxes on two thou-
sand five hundred dollars, unless compelled to ? Not until
real estate is taxed to its full value, can we hope for a
change beneficial to the cause of immigration, for our law-
givers and land monopolists have raised a barrier to immi-
gration more insurmountable than the Sierras — harder to
overcome than the deserts which lie between us and the
people whose presence we covet.
The emigrant who locates here must depend on renting
land, if he be not able to purchase a farm at the ruling
prices. There is no inducement in this to the true emi-
grant. His object in seeking new localities is a liouie —
land that he can call his own. He could rent land without
removing from his birthplace. Then, what have we in
Yolo, or in California, to offer the emigrant to induce him to
YOLO COUNTY. 203
pass the rich public lands of Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska,
with soil as fertile as our own, and make his home among
us ? A better climate — nothing more. Strip the question
of immigration of the mass of verbiage thrown around it,
and the sophistry of speculative individuals who would
sell their ill-gotten lands at a high figure, and it amounts
to this — only this — a better climate.
From the reasons given, and many others unmentioned,
kindred to the subject, we are reluctantly compelled to
admit that Yolo County can oflfer no good reasons why
immigrants should seek her borders; and this remark
applies to the State at large.
W^ find no fault with this state of affairs . We simply
point out the absurdity of the ceaseless call for immi-
grants, when the state of the land market forbids the immi-
gration of families.
We are well aware that the prices asked for Yolo County
lands can be readily obtained in most instances — that the
valuation placed on those lands in this book is generally
below what they will bring — but this does not help immi-
gj-ation; oil the contrary, retards it. Hence, we must look
only to the natural increase, and cease to expect a great
influx of population from foreign sources. At least, such
is the plain view of the case, and no amount of false rea-
soning can convince intelligent immigrants to the contrary.

Important to the Insuring Public!
The suspension of six out of the twelve Fire and Marine Insurance Companies
of San Francisco, in less than three years, suggests to the insuring public the pro-
priety of avoiding experimental Companies and taking to the old-established,
conservative and wealthy Companies for protection of the solid and permanent
order.
THE
Fire Insurance Companies
OF HARTFORD AND NEW YORK,
Are of the sterliug and conservative class. Their contracts are endorsed by over
Six, Million Dollars of Assets, Their rates are as low as good insurance
can be furnished at ; their adjustments of losses are made on an equitable and
honorable basis and their
Special Te7nns
For insuring detached frame-dwellings, occupied by owners, for one, three or
five years, on One Paijtnent of Premium are so favorable that all such
property holders should seek the time-tried and fire-tested protection of these
** JLeadinff American Insurance Companies" which has never
yet failed the victims of fire in their hour of need.
1^^ Those having policies in the lately suspended Insurance Companies
will find it to their advantage and profit to seek protection at Fair Rates
in the PHOENIX & HOME rather than accept the second-hand security selected
for them by the suspended Companies.
