California communicates with the nations of the world. It corresponds through its citizens with all the world, and the correspondents of it- citizens are eager for the land which has done so much for others. They await the facilitie to come. in :i work that means so much to California, the Native Sons of the Golden West are and should be most aggressively active, and the immediate and most important work, as has been stated, is the p.i--n:L.' of the constitutional amendments by a tre- mendously large vote. The greatest fear is the overlooking of the amendments on the ballot A general election will be held on the Bth of Novem- ber, consequently the State ticket, with other con atitutional amendments, will form part of the bal- lot upon which SENATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT No. 52 and ASSEMBLY CONSTI- TUTIONAL AMENDMENT No. 33 will appear. To avoid this danger, the numbers of these two amendments should be immediately committed to memory and spoken of constantly wherever people assemble from now until election. Remember, the larger the vote, the greater our chances. Loyalty to the State is our obligation. There is no better way of showing it than by ac- complishing something that means a substantial and lasting benefit to our State and all its citizens. Our Order has. through its representatives assembled. endorsed the project. It is for us as individual mem- bers to make good the promises of our Order. California's Resources and Development (By R. E. QUEEN, Chairman Advertising and Publicity Committee, Home Industry League.) ITH THE GROWTH IX POPCLATIOX anil the development of our natural resouri es there is gradually . eoming to the people of California a realiza- tion of the necessity and importance of upbuilding the manufacturing in- dustries of the Stat.-. With match- less climate, and soil unsurpassed for fertility and productiveness, and with an abundant supply of the most eco- nomical fuel, the opportunties here are remarkable, and Califorians will certainly not be slow to make the most of them. To utilize the resources of this great State, to give employment to the people, and to add to the general prosperity, are some of the problems which confront us, and their solution is to be found in promoting the manufacturing and productive interests, which work will appeal with special earnestness to the Na- tive Sons and Native Daughters of the Golden West. The home Industry League was formed to co-operate with them, and with all the people of California, in the effort tn advance the common interests. We enter upon this great work, not in any narrow spirit, hut with a full realization of our responsibilities to the people of Ibis St ate and of all the other states to upbuild not only our home trade, but al>o the imports and exports of California as well, with good will for all. and tor the general good o( the whole country: In all sections of the United State- strenuous efforts are being made to promote the manufacturing interests and industries, as it is well known that such action conduces most largely to the public welfare, and we in California would indeed be lacking in true enterprise if we failed to do our part. Highest Excellence; Moderate Prices. I'odple are aws kening everywhere to the im- portance nt establishing higher standards of excel- lence, a more economic basis of production, and more general information of the relative values of those manufactured products which are intended for general consumption, and the Home Industry League was formed tor the accomplishment of the three ob- jects stated. It is gradually becoming known, not on I _\ in t lalifornia. but throughout the entire world that, owing to the great productiveness of this State and the many natural advantages which it possesses, a large number of California products meet tin- highest requirement s of the well-informed purchasers of all the United States and many foreign lands as to quality and moderate price, and the League has undertaken the great work of informing tin- j pie as to which products attain the highest excellence in California, at most reasonable prices, and as to the value and sources of those other products which are not produced so abundantly here and which must, therefore, be purchased elsewhere. In writing the present article we "ill not attempt to give detailed information as to the manufactured products of this State which are worthy of special mention ami entitled to the patronage of all who are in need of such products, as it would make this communication altogether too long, but the general information herein given will be followed, at a later date, with the specific data which is requisite to the intelligent purchaser. It will be recognized at once that the intelligent co- operation of the purchaser is essentia] to the upbuilding of the manufacturing interests of this or any other State, and that the purchaser who buys intelligently not only serves himself to best advantage, but thereby promotes the welfare of the entire community. The Fruit Industry. Among the foremost industries of this State, tn which reference will now be made in a general way. may be mentioned the fruit products, which are justly regarded as of the highest quality and in the canning and preserving of which a number of manu- facturers here have attained to a very high standard of excellence and which run. in the aggregate, into many millions of dollars annually. The quality is of such a high order and the prices so reasonable that the demand, not only at home, but abroad, has become so large that they have difficulty in keeping the trade supplied with the canned fruits, jams. jellies, preserves and marmalades. As large as has become the canning and preserving of our fruits. immense quantities are exported, in the natural state, nt properly dried, and many thousands of tons of grapes are annually converted into raisins and into wine, thereby giving employment to large numbers. Large quantities of the purest olive oil are likewise manufactured in California, of such excellent quality and flavor as to meet with universal favor and a constant demand from all sections of the United States. With tin- generally increasing population of all the states the demand for olive oil and other food products will constantly grow larger and prove profitable, not only to those who are directly inter- ested in their sale, but. indirectly, to the consumer as well, as be is thereby afforded the most whole- some foods in the most economical manner. Many of the fruits are also utilized in the production of medicinal compounds of well-known value and general u - tge Other Important Factors. Turning from a consideration of our fruit a to other food products, we find that our cereals are abundant and that immense quantities are annu- ally consumed and shipped to other sections, after being properly prepared for the market. The de- mand is also increasing for condensed milk, cheese and similar products of this State. In the manu- facture of biscuits, crackers and confections of various kinds, California is fast assuming a position of first importance and produces products of the lines named equal to the best which are known to commerce, giving employment to thousands of people and en- larging tin- commerce of our state by millions of dollars annually. Likewise, in the production of chocolate and cocoa, in the canning of soups and sardines, tomatoes, asparagus and other regel and canned fruits, also in the production of paste f 1 stuffs. (Continued on Page 24. Column 3.) THE GRIZZLY BEAR November Important Happenings in California Fifty Years Ago HE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS held November 6th and there was intense excitement throughout the St :i L e, as well as the Nation. As only a few of the principal towns were connected with the Capital and metropolis of the State by telegraph, the returns were slow in coming into publicity, nnd owing to the close- ness of the vote between Lincoln and Douglas, it was over a week be- fore the result could be definitely determined. Betting on Douglas carrying the State continued during the week and thousands of dollars were wagered in San Francisco after the election was over, maaiy bets not being paid nutil the official vote was announced. San Francisco cast 14,397 votes and gave Lincoln fifty per cent of the total. The Republicans carried San Francisco by a plurality of 2900. Sacramento City and Nevada County went the same way by small pluralities, and this virtually decided the result in the State. These three places were the political battle grounds of the State. The result was finally figured to be: Lincoln, 38,734; Douglas, 38,023; Breckenridge, 33,- 975; Bill. 9131. Lincoln's plurality was 711. One amusing incident was the attributing of the cause of the result to the pony express. The ex- press brought the news of Republican victories in the state elections of Pennsylvania, Ohio and other Northern states in October in about ten days after the elections occurred and this news, elating the Re- publicans and correspondingly depressing the Demo- crats, caused those wavering in their choice to join the prospective winning party. Had the pony ex- press not been established, the news would have been about twenty-live days coming by overland stage or Panama steamers, and would have been too late to have had much effect on the result in this State. The result in the Nation, giving the elec- tion of president to Abraham Lincoln, was brought to Port Churchill by the pony express on Novem- ber 15th, from which place it was telegraphed to Sacramento and San Francisco, and from there sent throughout the State. The Republicans went wild with joy and enthusiasm. An unfortunate ending of a political quarrel was that at Visalia, between John Shannon, editor of the Visalia Delta, and Win. G. Morris, a prominent citizen. On November 14th they had an altercation and Shannon was shot and killed by Morris. Funds for Washington Monument. The placing of contribution boxes by the side of the ballot boxes, to receive funds for the building of the Washington monument, was a successful proposition. A committee had been appointed to take charge of the contributed money, and make the award of the marble statue to be given to the county making the largest donation per capita of the vote. Many precincts averaged over 50 cents per vote. Whisky Flat appeared to be the banner pre- cinct, as with twenty-six votes, its contribution box contained $60, while Diamond Springs was made an object of ridicule by its neighboring towns of El Dorado County because, with over a hundred voters, it only showed up with $2.50. The amount collected totaled $10,962. Colusa County was awarded the prize statue, its per capita per vote being 60 cents. The mining counties were much more liberal than the cities, as El Dorado County, casting less than half the vote of San Francisco, contributed more than that city. On November 8th a set of silver plate, valued at $4000, was presented to Senator E. D. Baker by the business men of San Francisco, irrespective of poli- tics. It was given as a token of regard and appreciation for the service rendered by the dis- tinguished gentleman in behalf of the State. The overland telegraph line was this month ex- tended eastward to Fort Churchill, in Nevada, and materia] for constructing it as far as Salt Lake City was assembled at Placerville for transportation over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The construction of the line was also proceeding westward from St. Joseph, Mo., and had reached Fort Kearney, over 300 miles west of St. Louis. A hill composed of alum was developed near Lancha Plana. Humboldt County had a severe earthquake shock on November 12th. It was not felt in San Francisco, nor in the adjoining interior counties. High Rates Cause Trouble. Tuolumne County was in the throes of a rate dis- pute between the miners and the ditch owners, which was causing considerable ill-feeling between the two parties. Ditch property was being frequent- Political Interest Intense — High Water Rates — Un- precedented Storm — Indi- ans Smoke Peace Pipe — Much Else of Interest (BY THOMaS R. JONES.) ly destroyed or damaged by unknown parties using powder at night to accomplish their evil ends. The rate objected to was five dollars a day for twelve miner inches of water. The miners struck for a reduction to three dollars a day. There were twenty-one separate ditch companies in the county, owning 275 miles of ditches and having about $2,000,000 invested. In comparison with the present agitation over high prices for meat and other food products, and the effort in different sections of the country to regulate the price by boycotting the article, the statement of a Bed Bluff newspaper, published in November, 1S60, is interesting. Beef was selling there for six cents a pound retail and would, within another week, from indications then shown, be given away and probably people be paid to eat it, as the supply was much greater than the demand. Wheat was being exported to England in large quantities by sailing vessels and was worth $1.10 per cental in Napa Valley. An enormous crop of potatoes was being dug in the vicinity of Bodega and Tomales, with Petaluma as the shipping point; 10,693 sacks, weighing 1,200,000 pounds, were shipped in four days from there to San Francisco. It was estimated that 150,000 sacks would be harvested, and that prices would be wholly to the advantage of the consumer. Hoge were selling at five cents a pound, and it was predicted that Washington, a town in Yolo County opposite Sacramento, would became the Cin- cinnati or "Porkopolis" of the Pacific Coast. Mitchell and Willard had erected a plant for killing and cur- ing hogs that employed twenty-five men and was disposing of one hundred hogs daily. The extent of the teaming and freighting indus- tries, from the depots of supply to the mining towns, can be surmised from the statements of parties who made a count of the number of teams enroute to Washoe between Genoa and Placerville on one day and he made the number 295 in addition to a score or more of pack trains. On the Auburn Turnpike a toll gate keeper had a record for one day of seventy-one freight wagons, nineteen buggies and sixteen horse- men enroute to Nevada County. Nearly all the freighters were six to ten belled mule or horse teams. Old Boreas Becomes Very Active. A gale from the north began to blow on Novem- ber 15th, and prevailed for three days, that exceeded in violence anything Old Boreas had done in his line before, and from accounts has not been equaled since. Houses were unroofed in every town in the State, flumes were blown down, and roads in the foothill and mountain regions made impassable by fallen trees. A dozen or more fatalities and serious accidents were reported of persons being caught by falling houses and trees. The Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys were filled with dense clouds of dust and sand and a disagreeable condition prevailed. The gale caused a grass fire, which started in Sisson Valley, to destroy in a very short time a large amount of property belonging to the farmers of that valley. The mining town of Don Pedro Bar, in Tuolumne County, was destroyed by an incendiary fire on No- vember 10th. Ten business houses were consumed and a $30,000 loss ensued. The Lyceum Theater, in San Francisco, was burned November 27th, with a $30,000 loss. The incendiary dropped a lighted torch through the roof skylight upon the scenery of the stage and it was a roaring furnace in a few minutes. The effects of the great foot-race of September 18th, near Mission San Jose, on the Mexican popu- lation who had won some $60,000 from the Ameri- can phmgers, were still in evidence at that town, as the merchants, saloonkeepers, hotel men and sporting element continued to reap a harvest from the winners. The little town was thronged day and night with gaily dressed caballeros, flush with money. Monte games and fandanga with guitar accompani- ment were going at full blast nearly all day and night, and the winner of the foot-race was waiting for a challenge from any ambitious sprinter who might desire to try conclusions. The amount of gold dust deposited in the San Francisco mint this month was 35,909 ounces, valued at $677,653, nearly all of which came from placers and river channels. Hydraulic mining at Timbuctoo was yielding handsome returns to the miners of that 'locality. McCallas & Co. cleaned up $4270 after an eleven-day run. What was known as the Dutch Company, at Red Dog, took out 272 ounces, worth $5010, in four weeks, working four men. Chas. Trevalli, while ground sluicing in his claim at Scotts Bar, uncovered a vein of decomposed quartz from which he obtained $1089 worth of gold in thirty minutes, in two pans of the stuff; he was expected to dig a fortune in a few days. Hunt & Co., at Scott's Ear, took out eighty ounces, valued at over $1400 in one day; they had one nugget that weighed six pounds. The mining town of La Porte was in a flourishing condition; the citizens con- tributed $240 in a few hours to purchase a church- bell. Washoe was still holding its own. Over 300 claims had been filed on and recorded. These covered many miles of ground, and the majority of them were rich only in porphry and expectations. The ophir mine was shipping ore that assayed $4000 a ton. Governement Negotiates With Indians. Col. Londer, a Government agent, sought out Chief Winnemucca of the Piutes, who had been at war with the whites in Nevada, and had a peace conference with him. Winnemucca would not meet with him until after sundown, and on being in- formed that Col. Londer came at the request of the Great Father (the president), to find out what his children (the Piutes) wanted done for them, haught- ily replied: "I come in darkness to talk, not because I like darkness. My heart is open. It likes the sunshine, but clouds are before my eyes. Many of my young men have been killed, ami I see in the white man's train men who have killed them. My breath was hot; it might have burned your ears, had I spoken too soon. Now, I sit upon the white chief's blanket; I have eaten of his food, and now I smoke the pipe of peace and will be quiet." Col. Londer stated he had brought with him a brother of a man that the Piutes had killed and robbed of his house and home. None of this man's family had ever injured a Piute. Winnemucca was silent for awhile, then indignantly replied: "Is Winnemucca a woman, that he should council like a woman? No, he is a man!" Striking his breast forcibly as he spoke, he continued: "The white men never heard me cry! No, not once! Ten snows have fallen since they came to see Winnemucca. They were few, and very poor. They promised us all we- wanted, but they were not truthful. The country belongs to the Piutes, and not to the white men. The whites have taken the Indian's ponies and their buckskins, and never gave any pay. They are like the coyotes, always ready to eat and to bark, but no good." After expressing the willinimess of his tribe to go on a Government reservation and stating that they wanted cattle and plows, he closed the con- ference by throwing off his blankets, and rising to his full height, exclaimed: "Irishman, come! Dutch- man, come! Mexican, come! American man, ctmie! John Chinamen, come! All dig him hole, find him hole! No give Piute money! Winnemucca die soon. He find him hole, then he no care any more." Hoops Serve a Good Purpose. Thanksgiving Day was observed on Thursday. November 29th, in the usual manner of church' services in the morning and grand balls in the even- ing. One town set up a claim of having the champion diner of the State. He responded to three invita- tions to Thanksgiving feasts, one at 2 p.m., another at 4 p. m., and a third at 5:30 p. m., ate heartily at all, and survived. It was related that the Thanksgivign Day ball in Dutch Flat was attended by a newly marrie'd couple. The woman was young and attractive, loved to dance and had so much attention shown her by the beaux that the husband became jealous, and* before the supper hour at midnight had arrived, demanded that his wife go home with him. She was in the height of her enjoyment when the summons came, but in- stead of showing any disappointment over the way affairs were going, she excused herself a few minute's and retired to the dressing room. Hoops of the largest possible circumference were the fashion, and of course she was encircled by one of the most November THE GRIZZLY BEAR Children of Past Grands Soon To Be United in Marriage NNOI v i:\ii \T OF THE INTKNH ed marriage of popular 3 oung people is not uncommon, and ordinarily does ouse more ili. in passing intei es1 outside the immediate circle of friends of the contracting parties.

THE GRIZZLY BEAR November Loyalty to the State Through Its Industries — Lack of Such Loyalty Retards State's Progress (BY DANIEL A. RYAN, GRAND PRESIDENT N. S. G. W.) LTHOUGH WE HAVE ALWAYS taken an interest in all things con- cerning California, we have not given to the industrial development of the State the careful and loyal consideration it should have received. The manufacturing and producing interests of California, more than any other subject of economic value from a labor and profit-producing standpoint to our citizens, has been in the main neglected when, above all others, it should have our most earnest support and co-operation. This applies not only to our mem- bership, but to every citizen of the State. The abso- lute necessity of attention on our part to a subject that is so vital to California has been very forcibly impressed upon the writer since he became a mem- ber of the Home Industry League of California, re- cently organized in San Francisco, and which led him to an investigation of conditions. He knew that conditions were not good, but could hardly believe the reports of the bureau of statistics of the League. To satisfy himself, he investigated as far as he could and found that they were. not exaggerated; in fact, the reports hardly reached the extreme distress of conditions as they exist, beginning with the city of San Francisco, where the decline of manufacturing industries is greater than that of any other com- munity. Industrial Decline in San Francisco. In 1839 we had in the city of San Francisco one grist mill, the first manufacturing plant on San Francisco Bay. In 1856 we were manufacturing in a dozen lines, important among them being found- ries, machine shops, lumber mills, boiler and grist mills. In 1860 the lumber was still increasing, un- til in 1S66 we had 264 plants of nearly every rep- resentative manufacturing industry. In fact, at that time we were rolling steel and rails, which we are not doing at this late day. The healthy growth of manufacturing continued until, in 1900, we had reach- ed 4002 manufacturing establishments in the area of San Francisco Bay, although the depression of 1894 was the beginning of our great loss of machinery business to Eastern concerns. The population at that time was approximately 330.000, the factories em- ploying 41,978 people. The number of factories con- tinued to grow until, in 1904, according to the Fed- eral figures, we had 4,500 factories employing 44,875 people, the product output valued at $23S.103,663. Today, according to figures secured by a repre- sentative of one of the San Francisco commercial bodies, there are in the vicinity of San Francisco Bay only 1,398 factories, employing about 14.000 men, with an output valued at $7S,891,879, or the deplor- able decrease of sixty-eight per cent in six years' time. Think of it ! It is hardly believable ! Imagine what that means to a city like San Francisco, with all its natural advantages on tide water, with the greatest port on the Pacific, the terminal of four transcontinental railroads, the shipping center of the Coast, the recipient of nearly nine millions of horse- power water in its bay. the distributing point of immense quantities of oil, backed by resources of an empire in our State's boundaries that should make it the largest manufacturing city in the Union today, outside of the City of New York. Stop and consider what such a decrease means, not only to San Francisco and its contiguous terri- tory, but to our entire State. The result on general business conditions commercially is demoralizing. It sbows the absolute necessity of building up our once prosperous industries, or at least of bringing them back to a normal basis of output. The result morally of the abnormal decrease of our factories, and the knowledge of the same, has a depressing effect on people's minds that will be most difficult to over- come. The result financially to the mechanics, la- borers, clerks, and the employers, to the trades- people, and, in truth, to our entire business conin nity, means a loss in the decrease of sixty-eight per cent of factories, of $92,625 a day, $555,750 a week, $2,123,000 a month, or $25,476,000 a year, for wages alone. The loss of the value of the output after the product is finisned is the difference between six years ago of $238,103,663 and that of today of ap- proximately $7S,S91,879, or $159,211,784. 'That is what the loss amounts to for the State of Califor- nia. Sucb being the case, California must do some- thing to remedy such a subnormal and distressing condition. Lack of Loyalty the Cause. "What must it do?" many will helplessly ask. But first of all, what is, or was, the cause? This is the perplexing question that comes to our mind. We have heard that it exists, but why? If we are to find the remedy, we must first find the cause. The fundamental reason, says the Home Industry League, is because we do not patronize home industry. The League is right. It must be that, when San Fran- cisco and vicinity reached its maximum amount of factories in 1904, which was the greatest increase (34%) of any factory district in the United States that year, except the cities of Buffalo and St. Louis, the Eastern manufacturers began to learn of the big market out here that could support, in one met- ropolitan area, 4500 factories, or the twelfth largest manufacturing center in the country, and began (Contined on Page 27, Column 1.)

We admitted the little girls at three o'clock, and let them recite their verses to us all in peace, with only two boys present. You know boys are nice all right, but it is safer to fetch them in one at a time, for they are like fire- crackers— they want to go off all at once. Well, we had a rainbow arched against the curtain in the bay-window, and when the little girls faced it,*l de- clare they were actually an improvement on the original, carrying those bright colors in bands nround their heads and crossed under their chins. We had a lovely time reciting the colors over and over- -red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Then we had an examination in French, to see how many of the words the little girls remembered. It was astonishing to hear them — they did so well that we had to give prizes to the two who stood last. Then while they were taken into the children's library to have their ice cream and other refresh- ments, the boys were admitted and stood up tu see how much French they remembered of the lessons given them by the kind friend who conies Friday afternoons for that purpose without money and without price. Then came the surprise of the after- noon. The boy who nearly wiggled himself out of the class the day before by his outrageousness, and out of the patience of all of us by his bad manners, stood last and got the prize, a bottle of perfumery, to take home to his mother. His mother was even more bewildered than the rest of us. It shows that sometimes you cannot tell who is who. Then the prizes were given for "REPOSE." "What's that?", was the question that went around. I had to explain that it meant repose of manner — it meant that when a child came into a house and did not kick the furniture, and did not tear tilings to pieces, but made the woman of the house glad of his presence, it showed that that child had "Repose." So it was left to the children themselves (Continued on Page 27, Column 3.) The Potlatch and Rainbow Party of the Deejers. Come Deejers all, and list to me. This world is queer as queer can be, But we will work, and call it "play," And sing, and laugh, the livelong day. OR A LONG TIME WE HAD BEEN talking about the Potlatch. What is a Potlatch? It is a custom that the Alaskans have of inviting their friends to come to a house-picnic, and every fellow of them carries home a prize. When it is over, the generous chieftain has nothing left, because he has given away all of his fine blankets, arrow-heads, knives, hatchets, fishhooks, baskets and canoes. But he has had the fun of feeling mighty grand for one day in his life, and after that he can go and visit his friends and stay as long as he likes. Well, we decided to have a sort of imitation Potlatch for the faithful Deejers. I wanted to do something in memory of my own child's birthday, even though she passed from earth five years ago. What better could I do than to have the Potlatch on this day, and give away some of the little things, which once were hers, to the children who now come to make my home glad with their presence? When they tried to come in on Thursday night, I told them I was hard at work trying to get the house swept for the Potlatch, so they could not come in. (rLet us do the sweeping," cried the Deejers. Presto change! it was done in a trice. Three women called at this most inopportune moment. We sat in the library in peace, and talked ahout the past, the present, and the future. And those Deejers hushed themselves, effaced themselves, suppressed themselves, and played games under their br?ath in the front parlor as if they were so many fairies. And when all was over, one of them, a boy, offered to take the visitor of three-score and eighteen years to the cars. Was not that beautiful? He was a wise Deejer. and knew that she was in reality a fairy godmother in disguise. For she was Airs. Cabanis, the mother of Judge Cabanis. and she had had nine sons and one daughter that she had raised for California from the early days. Tn other words, she was a really and truly Pioneer Mother, such as we deem worthy of putting into bronze. Then why not be polite and gentle to her while she is still alive? The next morning a flock of Deejers arrived early to help me finish the work. They ran errands and did all sorts of things. I am a great believer in having bright colors around, so I decided to dress the seven faithful fairies to represent the rainbow. At this news the boys looked blank. "What are we going to wear?" they said, it is natural for boys to want to be gay, too. Why not? So I told them that the boys of Bush street should have green sashes and turbans, and the boys of Pine street arrayed in yellow ones — those being the colors chosen to represent our State on Admission Day. But the boy who is studying five languages I dressed up in sashes of yellow and green and reddish brown and put red velvet Spanish sleeves on him. in addition to his yellow silk turban, which was once worn by a Pundit named Virchand Ghandi, one of the greatest men I ever met, yet as simple as a child.

Many constitutional amendments will appear on the ballot, November 8th, but there are two, in par- ticular, which should be voted upon — and voted upon favorably — by every citizen of California who is proud of the State. These are Senate Constitutional Amendment, No. 52. Assembly Constitutional Amendment, No. 33. There is nothing in the way of a "joker" in either of these proposed amendments — they simply make it possible for Californians to go before Congress as representatives of a UNITED STATE, and lay our claims before the national body . for the Panama Pacific Exposition. Every loyal Californian wants to see San Francis- co best New Orleans in the contest for this exposition. No loyal Californian, no matter what his feel- ings toward San Francisco, will vote against these amendments because they appear to favor that city, for, in reality, the Panama Exposition will be as much a benefit to every other section of California as to San Francisco. The defeat of these amendments means the loss of the Panama Exposition to California. They will be defeated unless you, Mr. Voter, make it your busi- ness to vote for them. Don't think your vote is unnecessary, for it is just such procedure that has killed many good propositions, and will mean the defeat of these amendments. Every indifferent citizen of the State will not vote upon these, or any other, amendments. It will, therefore, take a large vote to carry them, so every man whose State pride is greater than his indif- ference should not fail to vote for them. There is often a disposition on the part of voters to not vote on constitutional amendments. This should not be the rule as regards these amendments, as they mean much to California. When you go into the voting booth look for oenate Constitutional Amendment, >Jo. 52 and Assembly Constitutional Amendment, No. 33, and vote in favor of the passage of both. * * * The fostering of our home industries should be the special care of every Californian, for upon it rests the future industrial progress, or lack of progress, of our State. And this fostering should not rest with the passage of resolutions favoring home industries, but should assume a more substantial form. It costs money to run factories, and the men employed there- in will not accept resolutions as compensation for their labor. t It has always seemed strange to us why so many organizations have been formed to encourage the establishment of industries within our State, and noi a single one, until the formation of the Home Industry League, to educate the people up to the use of the products of those industries. The Orders of Native Sons and Native Daughters have, through their Grand Parlors, endorsed the ob- jects of the Home Industry League, which has for its purpose tbe building up of our home industries, and have resolved to purchase home-made goods. Our Orders cannot enter upon a more commend- able crusade than that which has for its ultimate object not only the bringing of more industries to The Grizzly Goes to Celebration (NOTE — This article appeared in the first edition of the October Grizzly Bear, which was destroyed in the Los Angeles dynamiting outrage, as set forth in this space in the reprinted, or second edition.

Well, I attended the But, all chilliness aside, didn't Old Sol give us To the Editor— Dear Sir: Admission Day celebration, and it surely was some pumpkins. And the big parade, September 9th, wouldn't that make some of our adopted sons and daugh- ters sit up and take notice? And just, to think, it happened in our dearly- beloved State of California, and was pulled off by our own Native Sons and Native Daughters. Wasn't you there? Well, take it from me, you missed something that it will require some years to eclipse. Anyone who was there won't soon forget the parade, especially if he took part in it, for every time he thinks of boils on his feet, his memory will revert to the four hours he stood in line, plus the six hours he piked. And that reminds me. Has anybody here found the whyfore of the tiresome delays? I have been looking for it, and found several reasons advanced, but none of them sounded good to me. The most plausible one, however, appears to be mismanage- ment. I heard a great deal of fun poked at Stanford Parlor's water-wagon, but, believe me, before the parade was over, the members of Stanford were universally envied. Why couldn't 76 have given us a hunch? And say, a man standing on the sidewalk said: "Why do they have a queen? Did California ever have one?" The stranger was referred to the finance committee of the festival. One member from a country Parlor asked me what the duties of a reception committee were. From what I had seen, I suggested that this par- ticular reception committee was evidently detailed to follow the queen, as it didn't receive any of the numerous excursions but, wherever the queen was, there also was the reception committee, or at least the main part of it. But say, laugh? I nearly split my sides laugh- ing at one of the Native Son grand officers. And at the same time, I was disgusted. He was making the rounds visiting Parlors, and incidentally dropped around to a San Francisco Parlor that was putting on some special airs in the St. Francis. He didn't more than land, however, when from one side came the cry, "Show your tickets," and from another, "Don't block the way," while from be- hind, the strong arm of a blue-coat pressed him into moving. He didn't have an "invite," you see, so he couldn't gain the "Eldorado." After witnessing this turndown of a grand officer guest by a Parlor that was among the hosts, I beat it, and wended my weary way to the Palace, where I was greeted with a two-handed complaint. Two members from the northern part of the State accosted me with, 'T thought we were invited here to be tbe guests of the San Francisco Par- lors?" I coincided with their thought, but after what I had just witnessed I ventured no further opinion. "Well," they went on, "we were just refused admission to that Parlor's (pointing to an- other San Franicsto Parlor with headquarters at the rear of the main lobby) headquarters because we didn't have an invitation." I felt very grate- ful for this information, as I was headed toward the "Pacific," wherein many a disconsolate soul has drowned his troubles. a warm reception ? The day was one of the grandest ever witnessed by myself in San Fran- cisco. I remarked upon this to several friends, and what do you think one said? Well, he replied: "It's a darned good thing something was warm, as in all my Admission Day exjjerience I never saw such a cool reception on the part of our hosts!" I was disappointed that one of the best features provided for the parade by the festival committee didn't appear. You, of course, didn't see it, so I'll tell you about it: An old-style hotel buss, with a long seat running the full length of each side, that had done service in 1849, was graciously supplied the Native Sons grand officers, in which to appear in the parade. But when they got to the place of assembling for the parade, and saw that the grand president had been supplied with a newly-painted, rubber-tired hack, they struck, and refused to accept the committee's offering. I heard they were told to take that or nothing, but standing as a union they stood pat, and the old curiosity didn't get in the parade. Ah, a thought! Perhaps that grand officer's strike was the cause of the delay in getting the parade started. You know a union strike delayed us in Sacramento five years ago. In closing, I want to say that, with the dis- agreeable features above related thrown in, the 1910 Admission Day celebration was a grand suc- cess, and a great majority of the Native Son and Native Daughter Parlors in San Francisco were ideal hosts and dispensed hospitality with the lavish hand of genuine Californians. It is .an easy matter to find fault, and the mis- comings of Parlors and the committee that had the celebration in hand, herein related, are not per- petuated in type for any ulterior motive, but purely with the intent of guiding the actions of those who will arrange future Admission Day cele- brations. This was the first celebration I ever attended where, during the parade countermarch, enthusi- asm of the marchers was not at its height. Do you know why? Because the visiting Parlors had not been enthused, upon arival at the celebration scene, with lively music and the handshakes of the reception committee, as has always been customary. The grand officers did not visit, in a body, the several Parlor Headquarters in San Francisco, as nas heretofore been their custom. Do you know why? Because several grand officers, for some un- accountable reason, had not been favored with the special invitations of a few Parlors, and did not wish to take the chances of being turned down at any. I have heard many oral, and received many writ- ten, complaints from all over the State regarding the treatment accorded visiting members by some of the San Francisco Parlors. To set them out in type, however, would do our Order an injustice. But let every Parlor in the State profit by this Admission Day's experiences, and when acting as host on like occasions, either have the latch- string out or keep your house in darkness. For the Good of the Cause, THE GRIZZLY. our State, but as well the encouragement of those industries now established by a use of their products. This action will, no doubt, meet with opposition from some quarters, but if we are really concerned in California's progress and greatness, we will use every honest means at our command to bring about a general demand in California for California-made goods. Let us put the united strength of our organizations back of this purpose, and so encourage, through pur- chase of their products, those industries now here, that others will flock in. Let every member demand goods bearing the "Made in California" label, and see how quickly merchants will lay in a stock. Just as good goods are manufactured here as elsewhere. Then, why not California products for California chil- dren? Ask yourself, and act accordingly. Report comes from Marysville that the Hindus are going home. Let's not wait until Thanksgiving Day.

The upon in;.- pages contain a most excellent pori rail .it" this beloved \\ riter. 07m. Dean Bowell, in a shori introduction, explains the method and manner used by Mr. Clemens in presenting his speeches, for Mr. Howell eon sidered him a great actor, as well as a greal author. The subjects discussed by Mr. Clemens are many and varied, covering a period of time from 1872 until shortly before his death. The true father and mother will read with int. Test Mr, I lemens' response to the toast, "The Babies — as they com fori us in our sorrows, let us Dot forget them in our festivities." For genuine laugh pro- vokers, selecl the address, delivered at a social meet- ing of literary men, having for its subject "Cats and Candy," and a story at a billiard tourney, en- titled "Billiards." Then, too, one derives much pleas- ure from reading his address given at a dinner at Delmonico's t" celebrate his seventieth birthday. He vividly describes his first birthday, and then says: "It's a long stretch between that first birthday speech and this one. That was my cradle song, and this is my swan snug. I suppose." This is a most excellent volume to have on hand for use when the brain has become weary of the arduousness of this strenuous life and demands re- laxation. Henry Van Dyke once said of Mr. Clemens, "A man whose humor has put a girdle of light around the globe and whose sense of humor has been an example for all five continents." To possess "Mark Twain's Speeches," is to insure your- self of always having at hand something that shall highh season your graver reading. That the book will meet with ready sale on this Coast there is every assurance. The Emigrant Trail. The story of how our forefathers crossed the plains to California will never grow old; in fact, it almost seems that, as the lapse- of time becomes greater, the romance of it all grips the heart strings with a tinner grasp, and we long to hear another phase of t he story. Cera Id ine Bonner, therefore, exercised good judg- ment when she decided to write a story of "'iiie Emigrant Trail." The contents of the book arc divided into live parts — "The Prairie." "The River," "The Mountains." "The Desert," "The Promised Land." It is an interesting and happy little party of live who start from Independence for California, "the recently acquired strip of territory that lay along the continent's western rim, a place of per- petual sunshine where everybody had a chance and then- was no malaria." The time is before the dis- covery of gold, or rather, before it was known to Easterners. Dr. Gillespie was making the trip to California in Search of health. lb- was accompanied by his daugh- ter. Susan, and "Daddy John," the old servant. They were from New "i ork and had planned to meet a large party of their fellow townsmen at Inde- pendence. Imt to their dismay the party had gone on without them. By chance they had met with David Crystal and George Leffingwell, Westerners who were also planning to cross the plains to Cali- fornia, so it was but a short time until all plans w.te completed. Our acquaintance with most of these characters ripens into an intimate friendship very soon. The devotion Dr. Gillespie and his daugh- ter have for each other is sonl satisfying, and it is indeed a pleasure to know that "Daddy John" looks after each so carefully. David very slowly comes into the story, but after a time one is made to see that he is to figure largely in the love theme which lias its place on "The Emigrant Trail." The author evidently has made a deep study of her Subject, for into the story is woven in minute de- tail a 1 most c\ t-r\ incident that could possibly have given either joy or sorrow. The country through whi.h they traverse is well described. The hard ships they endured are indelibly stamped on the reader's memory. Birth, marriage, death, each has its place. Indian troubles, murder, thirst, too, ar^ there.

Then there is an epic in fourteen parts on "The Oregon Trail." and a prose rhapsody, "Paradise Forgot." in seven divisions, depicting the beauty features of the Pacific Coast visited by the author The book also contains one hundred classical views of Pacific Coast scenery, in groups represent- ing these various sections. In another place in these columns is reproduced "The Harp of the Sands." It is a bit of beautiful descriptive verse. WESTERN LITERARY NOTES. .Many ( 'alifornians have followed with interest our very own playrights. It has not been long since we rejoiced with Richard Walton Tully over the success of his play. "The Rose of the Rancho." Later Herbert Bashford's "Running for Governor," a delightful little comedy, furnished amusement to crowded houses. Now we are all more than pleased to know that Eleanor Gates has also contributed a play, "Justice of Gideon," which was booked to appear in New York during the present month. * * The Pacific Coast Woman's Press Assocation. which will hold its opening day in the near future, has planned a "William Keith day/' at which an exhibit will be held of several canvases by this artist. A talk on "The Artist and the Man" will be given by Charles Keeler of Berkeley and by ex-Mayor E. R. Taylor of San Francisco. Poetical tributes to Keith will he read, among which will be a poem by Edward Rowland Sill. Favorite Scotch ballads of the artist will be sung by Mrs. John W. Lewis. The meeting will be presided over by the new presi- dent. Miss fna Coolbrith. * * Dr. Charles F. Holder, whose latest books are "The Recreations of a Sportsman" and "The Channel islands of California." is spending the summer at the beautiful Canadian fishing camp of George A. Weber of Stamford, whose lakes and rivers include fifty miles in the province of Quebec. In the fall Dr. Holder will deliver an address before the British Sea Anglers' Society of London and attend a ban- quet which is to be given him. * * "My Mark Twain" is the title which William Dean Howells has chosen for his book of literary and personal reminiscences of his life-long friend. Herman Whitaker's many friends are eagerly wait- ing for the new book which he has in course of preparation. Whether his trip to Mexico was for the purpose of obtaining more material for this book, or whether it was for another book entirely, we do not know. At any rate, the October Sunset con- tains one of his strong short stories. Arthur W. North, author of "Camp and Camino in Lower Cali- fornia" and "Mother of California," has, in the same magazine, a most interesting article bearing the heading, "The Spirit of Idaho." "The Grand Canyon of Arizona; How to See It," is the title of George Wharton James' latest book. Another of his books to appear during this month is entitled "Heroes of California." His many friends will welcome both of these, for their tales must surely be of unusual interest. Jack London, author of "Martin Eden." has just had published a new novel entitled "Burning Day- light." In this he presents a new phase of the love of man for woman, and shows in the end that it was the only master Burning Daylight acknowl- edged.

And then I walked in the soft moonlight, And listened to the tide, As it glided through the Golden Gate From the ocean green and wide. At last I stopped and held my breath, For a strain of music came, bike the wind through strings Aeolian Too sweet to have a name. And sad and low it floated up From the ocean dampened sands. Like a harp thrust out from the hurrying deep And played by spirit hands. I stood and listened to the strains I had heard oue time before— To the harp of the sands played by unseen hands In the rocks along the shore. The hour was right, for alone at night Will the sand harps ever play; When the flowing tide begins to glide Into the shadowy bay. I listened wrapt to the sad, sweet strain, For I knew when the tide was in No more would the sand harp play for me By the fingers soft unseen. Nor could I hear in the daylight glare This music of the night, For the glowing sun would soaring high, Give the wierd musicians fright. So I drank my fill till the music ceased, And I knew I should hear no more, Then back to the city I took my way Along the rock-bound shore. — From "On the Sunset Shore." Jamestown, October 14th.

CHAPTER IV. California Love Awakened. ATHRYN CAME HOME ALL EN- thusiasm and rapture from her visit to Half Moon Bay. She graphically described to her delighted Native Son father the remarkably clear and bright mind of Raymundo Miramontes and the courtly manner of the fine look- ing, stately., aristocratic Don Pablo Vasquez. Mr. Dene had always deplored what he considered a lack of appreciation in his wife for things Californian, and was secretly chagrined over Kathryn's broken en- gagement with young Beresfbrd, whom he dearly loved as his own boy and considered to be one of the finest of California's stalwart sons, but he wisely asked no questions as to the cause of the quarrel. Kathryn was a girl who never did things by halves, so she put her whole heart into the study of Cali- fornia's history. Her enthusiasm spread even to her mother — to Mr. Dene's satisfaction and gratifica- tion— and the result was a southern trip by Mrs. Dene and Kathryn, during which the missions of Monterey, San Carlos, Santa Barbara, etc., were visited. In the course of excavating incidental to the im- provement of Portsmouth Square, San Francisco, a number of rusty old muskets were exhumed. Kath- ryn rushed in search of Miss Keith, whom she found dismissing school, and exclaimed: "Hurry, Miss Keith, they have unearthed some old Spanish muskets at Portsmouth Square, at what was for- merly the site of the old Spanish Custom House. We must secure them for the committee on historical landmarks." Verily, Kathryn had become a thorough Californian, and her great desire now was to become a member of the Order of the Native Daughters of the Golden West, and she planned the formation of a Parlor of her young friends. She consulted Miss Keith, an introduction to the Grand Secretary, Miss Frakes, followed, and the result was the forming of the Portola Parlor. The name Portola was chosen in honor of Don Gaspar De Portola, the first Military Governor of California, appointed by Don Carlos III, King of Spain. Portola was the first to tread El Camino Eeal and was also the discoverer of San Francisco Bay, in October, 1769. On Sunday, April 3rd, a mission road bell was to be dedicated at San Rafael, in front of the site of the old Mission San Rafael Archangel, which marks the spot between Mission Dolores, San Fran- cisco, and the Mission San Francisco de Solano. Kenneth Beresford and Phillip Randall, as members of El Camino Real Association, were present, stand- ing beside Grand Trustee Thomas J. Lennon. The members of the Mt. Tamalpais Parlor of Native Sons were there in a body. It was an ideal spring day, and the handsome Marin County Court House, surrounded by a square of velvety lawn, together with the church of St. Rafael and the beautifully shaded streets, made an appropriate spot for the dedication. By the stump of an aged pear tree, the only historical landmark remaining of the mission founded in 1817, stood a group of Native Daughters, and with them Kathryn Dene, darkeyed and beauti- ful, dressed entirely in white. Superior Judge Thomas J. Lennon was the chair- man, and in concluding his remarks, said: t(We are here today to dedicate this bell, the gift of Mt. Tamalpais Parlor, N. S. G. W., of San Rafael, which is to mark the historic road of the Franciscan Fathers, and be a monument to the first dawn of civilization in Northern California." Miss Keith spoke on the "King's Highway." By this time, Kenneth Beresford had discovered that the tall, beautiful girl in white was Kathryn Dene. What could it mean! His Kathryn, his own little girl, standing beside, and evidently on the most friendly terms with, Grand President Lillie. Kathryn, an interested spectator to the dedication of a mission road bell! What did it portend? Was anything the matter with his eyesight? These were the thoughts that rushed through his mind. Kathryn, however, had long ago discovered that the tall Native Son beside Judge Lennon was Kenneth Beresford, and wisely kept her eyes off that part of the platform. The unveiling of the bell by Stephen Richardson, the oldest Native Son of California, was now in order. Then the brown-clad friar, Father Maximillian Romance and Reality in Serial Form (BY ANNIE L. ADAIR.) Newman, stepped forward with two little acolytes, and dedicated the bell of San Rafael Archangel. As he raised his hand in blessing, the chairman pulled the clapper to sound the sweet chimes, and a cheer broke from the audience. Thus was appropriately dedicated the bell at the twentieth mission, the next to the last of the chain. As Kenneth Beresford, Phillip Randall and other participants walked down the street, Kenneth heard not a word that was being said in the conversation. His eyes were fixed on a tall, slender girl — clad all in white, her wonderful golden hair gleaming under a large picture hat — who, with other women, was wending her way to the railroad station. In his heart, the man was saying: "Kathryn, my own little girl! I am so proud of you. Before going back to the oil fields I will interview Miss Keith. Kathryn, dear, I hope you won't be too long in sending the written message, for the waiting is lonely and weary." Speeding toward San Francisco on the train, near the verdure-clad hills at the foot of lofty Tamalpais the heart of the girl was singing for joy and say- ing: "Kenneth, dear, be patient a little longer. I am becoming a broader-minded, better girl — just such a girl as you need for a wife — but the waiting, al- though I deserve it, is dreary without you." CHAPTER V. Kathryn Becomes Private Secretary. Miss Keith decided to spend her Easter vacation at Paso Robles, and while there gather data per- taining to San Miguel Mission, and the surrounding country, which was in early days an important Spanish grant. Kathryn, the mission enthusiast, de- cided to accompany her. Before leaving San Fran- cisco, Phillip Randall, lying full length on a cot mattress, and suffering from inflammatory rheuma- tism, was put into the baggage car of the train. The man was hardly able to move either his arms or lower limbs, and was going to Paso Robles for his health. He was head bookkeeper for Beresford, Sr., and he and Kenneth were friends and also co-workers in El Camino Real Association. Although knowing Kenneth Beresford well, he had never met Miss Dene, and was in utter ignorance of the fact that an en- gagement existed between Beresford and Miss Dene, and that it was now broken. As the train sped on Miss Keith, turning to Kath- ryn, said: "Phillip Randall is on this train, in the Daggage car, the victim of inflammatory rheumatism. He is a loyal Native Son and a good man, and has a wife and two fine children in Oakland. I received a letter from his wife, who is a splendid woman, and she couldn't accompany him just now, as she has a sick child to care for. I will ask permission of the train official to go in and see him, and inquire if we can do anything for him. Do you mind ac- companying me, Kathryn?" . "1 will be only too glad to be of use," said Kath- ryn. She had become a truly unselfish girl. Always bright and beautiful, lately she had become ex- quisite with womanly thought and consideration for others, especially the sick and needy To see one in pain, brought out all her sympathy and kindness of heart. With gentle laughter, kind words, and little at- tentions, Miss Keith and Kathryn Dene brightened the weary journey for the sick man. On arriving atf the quaint but pretty town of Paso Robles, Phillip Randall was carefully carried across the city park to an hotel. To the right of the hotel and back towards the hills, was a large brick residence, with beautifully laid out, terraced grounds, the pride of Paso Robles. An underground .tunnel connects the upper and the lower gardens, which are divided by a street. In the brightest corner of the upper garden is a small observatory, from which a fine view of the town and surrounding country can be obtained. A retired sea captain owned this property and employed several gardeners to keep the place in order, and always allowed the residents of Paso Robles to wander there at their pleasure. Early the next morning following their arrival, Miss Keith and Kathryn took their hot sulphur plunge, and as they were standing at the drinking fountain, Kathryn said: "I will take a pitcher of this sulphur water to Mr. Randall. This is what he needs." They found him siting in a wheeled chair in the "sun room," ''Hallo, good Samaritan, what do you think of this? Don't I look well in a wheeled chair," laughed he. 'Ti cu seem delighted to see us, but your tune will change when you see what I have brought you to drink. A pitcher of hot sulphur water from the springs. Ugh! It is horrid," laughed Kathryn. "Never you mind, nothing can disgust me now. A rheumatic cripple gets used to the worst kind of concoctions," said Randall, as he drank the water without even a grimace. "Now, I am going to be your private secretary," said Kathryn. "I am at leisure for an hour. Then Miss Keith and I are going to drive to San Miguel, where we are to be the guest of the girls of San Miguel Parlor at luncheon, and in the afternoon will visit the old Mission St. Michael." Kathryn wrote, for the crippled man. a letter to his wife and babies, and business letters to his employers, but never winced as he dictated a letter to Kenneth Beresford, although the rich color surged to her cheeks and spread over the white brow and throat. All un- conscious of the tumult in the girl's heart, the man continued: "Kenneth Beresford is a man worth knowing. Miss Dene. He is an enthusiastic, patriotic- Native Son, and such a loyal friend. He has invested my savings for me in oil lands, and if the deal pushes through, as he expects, between his kindness and the curative waters of Paso Robles, I will be on my feet in more ways than one." The girl became radiant. Her expression of pride and joy at her lover's name added an exquisite love- liness to her beautiful face, yet quickly to recover herself, she left the room and was back with a pile of magazines for the perusal of the sick man. "Thanks, Miss Dene,'' said the grateful invalid. "This afternoon 1 am to go two miles out of town to the hot sulphur mud springs and take my first mud bath, and I am in high anticipation of the treat. Just think of it! Makes me think of the mud-pie days of my boyhood." Miss Keith and Kathryn enjoyed the ride to San Miguel under the spreading oaks for which Paso Robles is famous. "El Paso Des Robles (the pass- ing through the oaks), how aptly the Spanish name suits this place," said Kathryn. CHAPTER VI. The "Wishing Chair." At San Miguel they were met, cordially greeted, and taken to luncheon, and in the afternoon visited San Miguel Mission, where the resident priest showed them through the church and the mission. Miss Keith had secured the services of a skilled amateur photographer, who gladly undertook to take pictures of different views and parts of the mission. The ancient church of St. Michael's, at San Miguel Mission, has possibly a bit more of interest than most of the others. It is the best preserved of all the California missions — in fact, the only one which is today exactly the same as when first built, in 1797. Even the walls surrounding the place, though in ruins, give an accurate idea of the extent of the property connected with the church itself, it embraces about forty acres. In the legends of this mission there are both poetry and humor. Standing in the shade of the long colonnades of the church, the attetnion of the visitors was drawn to two huge old chairs fashioned of massive oak and beautifully carved leather. The wooden frames of these ekairs are as firm as when first fitted together, but the leather parts are badly worn, although the intricacy and beauty of the hand worked design, wrought long ago, could still be seen. "Would you please tell us the legends of these 'Wishing Chairs V " asked Miss Keith of their guide, and " the kindly father repeated the following ro- mantic tales: "They are the famous 'Wishing chairs,' " he said, "one of which was brought from the ruins of San Antonio Mission along with some old paintings and similar relics. This chair which is in the best state of preservation possesses miraculous powers. Any one seating himself therein might formulate one wish — any of the numberless things for which the heart of man might long — and be cer- tain of its fulfillment. It was famed far and wide, and people traveled many miles that they might rest in it, and wish for the attainment of their heart's desire, and tradition has -it, that these de- sires were duly fulfilled. But the other chair, that of San Miguel, was more restricted in its power. Its occupant could wish for only one thing — the winning of the sweetheart of his choice. As you see, the bottom of this chair is entirely gone, and (Continued on Page 13, Column 1) November THE GRIZZLY BEAR A Pioneer in the Land of The Setting Sun (BY W. J. ORGAN.)

It rained the first mi-Iii of our arrival, but cleared off in the morning, ami there was no more rain for three months and a half, or until the first of March, and even then it did not rain enough to give the miners sufficient water to wash the dirt they had accumulated dur- ing the hot summer months preparatory for washing when the rains should come and furnish water for working the dry ravines. Two greater contrast-; in rainfall have never been recorded during my eon- tinuous residence of sixty-one years in California, than those which occurred during the winters of '4!) mill '."ill and '50 and '51. Wc had not Keen at Union bar more than three days when, late one evening, a man packing his blanket s and looking tired out, asked if he could have shelter with us during the night. "Certainly," said Oneille, "come in." Depositing his blankets on the floor — it was a dirt floor, but had been well kept by sprinkling and sweeping every day— and taking a seat by the fire, we asked him it' he would like to have something to eat. Reply- ing that he would, Oneille set out the cold corned beef, a plate of beans, bread, and some other edibles, which he seemed to enjoy. After satisfying his appetite, he resumed his seat by the fire and be- came quite communicative, telling how he had lost four hundred dollars in the division of gold he and his three partners had taken out of the mine they had found. Captain Al lender wanted to know how It happened. "Why," said he, "the pieces were so large that it was impossible to make an equal divi- sion, and I got the small pile." "What became of your partners?" he was asked. "They went to San Francisco and took passage on the first vessel that sailed for Australia," he answered. During the evening we learned from the man that his name was Stodard. a native of Australia, and that he was one of the first to sail for California on the receipt of news of the rich gold discoveries here, and was the discoverer of the mine from which he and his partners took out the large nuggets that could not be divided. Such was the story of this imaginative man. told with all the candor and sincerity that a truthful man could relate an event. Aft er 1 irea k fa st the next morning our guest left, strong in the faith that he would yet find Gold Lake. About the first of December, 1850, Captain Thomas Bond of Carlisle, Illinois, an old acquaintance, hav- ing just crossed the plains during the summer and learning our whereabouts, paid us a visit, and a few days later Charles Delisle, a nephewr of Oneille's put in an appearance, both looking for a place where they could winter and mine. They were invited to share our comfortable and commodious quarters for the winter; we would have one mess and one purse, and in tins way the five of us messed, working on tin1 bars and hanks with rockers, pan, and crevicing spoon, until about the first of March, 1851, when the first rain made its appearance. It was now up to each one of us to decide where and how he would put in the coming summer. The dry diggings. so far this winter, were a failure for flie want of water, and the season was so far ad- vanced that, by the time a claim was found and opened up, no water would be available. It was therefore evident that each one desired to know how much we had accumulated during the last three months. The product of each day, when brought in, was cleaned, weighed, and put away, but not one of us. except Oneille. had kept account of the weights, he being the custodian of our treasure. The sack was brought out, and Oneille announced THEODORE A. BELL Democratic Nominee for Governor Bell is against Division of the State of California that there should be one hundred and twenty-five ounces. There were five yeast powder cans filled, besides what was in the grub purse. The contents of each can was taken out and weighed, and when all had been weighed each man was invited to step up and receive his share of our three months' ac- cumulation. Our partnership was now at an end. We had passed the time very agreeably, working every day, but in our anticipations of a rainy winter had been disappointed. Captain Allender went to Santa Cruz and engaged in potato farming, being undoubtedly lured into this venture by the extraordinary high price of the spud, that made it an expensive luxury to the miner. The captain made a hit, clearing four thousand dollars. He tried to repeat his success the next year, but when his crop was ready to dig and sack, the commodity was selling on the wharf at San Francisco for two-bits a sack. The most of his crop rotted in the ground. Oneille went south, and in his wanderings came across a lot of chickens for sale. Knowing that fresh eggs were worth from one to two dollars each, he invested over one hundred dollars in two dozen hens and two roosters, shipped them to Yuba City, provided them with comfortable quarters and plenty of feed, and soon he was selling from eight to twelve eggs a day to the gamblers and sports in Marysville for from one to one dollar and a half each. Delisle packed up his blankets and, with a small amount of the necessaries of life, including pick and shovel, moved about eight miles further up the river, where he continued the same kind of mining that we had pursued during the last three months. I had settled up with Allender before he left, paying him two hun- dred dollars for stock and material on hand at the time we first located on the South Fork at String- town. This left me with about two hundred dollars, out of which I paid eighty dollars for a mule, in- tending to go to Rich Bar, on the North Fork of Feather River, as soon as the weather settled. It was now snowing furiously up in the higher moun- tains, and many who had rushed in during the latter part of February were caught without even a tent for shelter. One mornng in the early part of March, Captain Bond and I left the cabin in the rain, he bound for Sacramento, and I for Yuba City, where I had, with McLean as a partner, acquired two lots and built a board house during the months of December, 1849, and January, 1850. It was all of forty miles from our camp to Marysville, and but one animal betwen us. But with a rainy day and muddy roads we made the trip, arriving in Marysville after dark. We were both wet to the skin, tired and hungry. I don't know how the mule felt, but he had carried one or the other of us every step of the way from the cabin. After we saw him well provided for in a stall at the livery stable, we went to the best hotel in town anil called for supper and lodgings for the night. I was up with the sun the next morning, went to the livery stable, saw that my mule was all right, got my breakfast, and went over to Yuba City. Many of those who had secured lots and built structures to protect them and their fami- lies from the excessive rainy weather during the winter of 1849 and 1850 had left, some going to the mines, some across the river to Marysville, and others to seek farming land that was not claimed by Spanish or Mexican grant. On meeting McLean, we went direct to our prop- erty, wheh was untenanted, except by Sam Kineard, who had improvised, with some shakes, a small bed- room in one corner. This was the first time I had met Sam since we parted at the ford on Feather River in November, 1849, where Harris came near losing his team and all his belongings. Sam had been to the mines on the American River, and not being very successful, had taken up his abode at Yuba City for the present. McLean, with Cheever and Brasier as partners, and with an outfit of mining tools, including quicksilver machines that the two latter had brought around the Horn to Cali- fornia in 1849 from Boston, went to the ford on Feather River that I have mentioned, where there were acres of sand and gravel that would prospect ten cents to the pan on the surface, with a feeling of certainty that those machines would make good along lines studied out in Boston. Five dollars per day to the man was the best they could make. In the times of which I am writing, it didn't take a man long to get tired, without a prospect ahead for better pay. so they quit. (Concluded in December Number.) 10 THE GRIZZLY BEAR November MINING DEPARTMENT (EDITED BY CALVERT WILSON, PRESIDENT LOS ANGELES CHAMBER OF MINES.) =Tt 0 MUCH COMPLAINT HAS ARISEN regarding the ruling of the National Government's Department of the In- terior pertaining to the patenting of oil lands, that First Assistant Frank Pierce has come to the Coast, and at Los Angeles, recently, took up the questions at issue, both with the oil men themselves, who gave their views as interested parties, and at- torneys who took up the legal points. The troubles of the oil men have been brought about by what is commonly termed the (fYard decision,''- and the construction placed upon the statutes by the Interior Department in respect to patenting oil claims. According to one speaker, in the Coalinga field, which has been materially affected by the Yard de- cision, $2,500,000 have been expended upon property withdrawn from entry after development. Thirty- five producing wells had been completed on Govern- ment land without patent; twenty-six rigs were in- stalled but not working, owing to uncertainty of title; thirty-nine wells were being drilled, and eigh- teen had shut down since the decision. Calvert Wilson, speaking as an individual and not as a representative of the Chamber of Mines and Oil, made an address, in which he brought out the vital points of the case and suggested measures for relief. His remedy was tiiat either the placer min- ing laws where they apply to oil land should be changed, so that an actual discovery is not essen- tial— but that merely the man who makes the loca- tion has good reason to believe that underneath the iand that he locates there is oil, and then he should have a reasonable time in which to develop it — or a new law covering oil land should be enacted, under which a man could enter a piece of land purely as an oil claim. As to the latter remedy, the speaker strongly favored the so-called Smith bill, that is still pending in some congressional committee, be- cause the bill appealed to him as just and equitable. Mr. Wilson believed that a man should be given 80 or 160 acres as an individual, and stated that he did not believe that any man would go out and lo- cate twenty acres of land, with the chance of ex- pending fifty or a hundred thousand dollars in order to develop it. and then have only the meager twenty acres when it is developed. Mr. Pierce gave three days to the hearing, part of which time was devoted to legal arguments on the subject of the Yard case, and the application of the decision to patent cases now on appeal from the Commissioner of the General Land Office. What re- sult his visit will have is, of course, unknown, but as the matter is of vital interest to the oil men of California, his report and recommendations are anx- iously awaited. California Asphalt Improved. For ten years California asphalt has not been per- mitted to enter into competition with other asphalt in New York municipal work, for the reason that sufficient attention was not given to refining the product, and therefore it could not stand the severe usage to which the streets of the metropolis are sub- jected. Otto H. Klein, chief engineer of the office of the Commissioner of Accounts of New York, has been investigating asphalt conditions in this State recently, and finds that so much improvement has been made in the refining of the product that it can enter the New York market in competition with Trinidad asphalt, which now has a monopoly. September Oil Production. The low price of oil was responsible for a slight falling off in oil production during September. The September total was 6,636,160 barrels, while that for August was 6,743,159 barrels, a decrease of 106,999 barrels during September. The. September produc- tion in the different fields of the State follows: San Joaquin* Valley 4,9SO,S60 barrels Southern 875,000 barrels Coast 780,300 barrels State total 6,636.160 barrels Recent Mining Decisions. Eights of Subsequent Locators. — Where a dis- covery is made on a vein of mineral bearing rock, and the notice provides that such claim extends 700 feet in a northwesterly direction and S00 feet in a southeasterly direction from such discovery, and the corner stakes on the southeastrly end are so placed as to take in more than S00 feet of such vein, subsequent locators may legally locate the ex- cess of ground, as the first location is valid only to the extent of 800 feet southeasterly from the point of discovery on said claim. — Flynn Group Mining Co. v. Murphv, Supreme Court of Idaho, 109 Pacific S51. Location Notice. — Held that, where a location notice states that the mining claim which it describes extends 700 feet in a northwesterly direc- tion and S00 feet in a southeasterly drection along the lode, a locator may go to the point of discovery of such claim and measure .the ground from the dis- covery point 800 feet in a southeasterly direction along the lode, and if there be any unlocated ground beyond that 800 feet, may legally locate it, regard- less of the fact that the easterly end stakes had been established beyond the 800 feet — Flynn Group Mining Co. v. Supreme Court of Idaho, 109 Pacific 851. Validity of Excessive Location. — Where the exterior boundaries of a mineral location include such an un- reasonably excessive area that such boundary lines cannot be said to impart notice to a prospector of a mineral location or discovery within the reasonable distance of a lawful claim as located under the statute, such location will be held void on the ground that the ooundaries of the claim have never been marked and established as required by law. — Nicholls v. Lewis & Clark Mining Co., Supreme Court of Idaho, 109 Pacific 846. Unlawful Cutting on Public Land. — One entering and occupying as a homestead public land, shown by the books of the Land Department to be subject to such entry, cannot, nor can anyone claiming under him, justify the cutting and sale of timber therefrom under Act June 3, 1878, c. 150, 20 Stat. 88 (U. S. Copm. St. 1901, p. 1528), authorizing the cutting and removal of timber for certain purposes from mineral lands, not subject to entry except for mineral purposes, on the ground that the land was in fact mineral, and not agricultural. — Bunker Hill & Sullivan Mining & Concentrating Co.

"California's Daj for the Homelesa Child." This i- the daj when all t li«- Native Sona and Native Daughters have an opportunity to give financial aid i" i he orphans of * 'aliforna.

When one stops to consider iiiai hundreds of little waifa throughout State have no parents to care for them, no home to Bhel ter them, i ne i<> console them when thej are Bad nor encourage them when thej pul forth their llittle efforts i<> imitate grown ups, no helping hand to guide them into the greaj unknown future, a responsive chord is touched, even in the moal cal loua heart. And almost as deplorable aa the child with. mi a home, is the home without a child. Eaefc had longed for the other, without practical means of getting together, until the Orders of Native Sons and Native Daughters took up the cause of both for their mutual benefit. The success of the undertaking is dependent upon the support given l>> the man} separate Parlora of the two Orders, nol oulj in aiding financially, but in finding homes Already the good accomplished is apparent in a number of counties, several Parlors having senf Intern 1 donations to tins year's fund, and also a number of applications for children. In many cases tin- children are placed and supervi- sion of them given to the Parlor. Perhaps in the history of this counl ry then' has never been a more stupendous self-imposed duty assumed by any order. Without regard I o race or creed, the orphans of this state have become the wards of these Orders. It is a high and holy, as well as a most extraordinary and un- limited, undertaking. When we remember that the guardianship is without financial support, other than that which tne Native Sous and Native Daugh- ters can provide, each Parlor must assume respon- sibility for its share of the great task. I'nk one week has elapsed since October 8th, California's Day, and aleardy over twenty Par- lors have sent their dona t ions. Forty -two applica* t ions for children are on file. Eleven children have been placed in excellent homes, and several other cases are almost completed. The work of the coin- mil tee do.-s not consist so much in placing chil- dren, as in selecting mothers for them. These little ones, whom it would seem that Fate has thrust from the platform of a common human- ity, have found in our Orders, friends, yea, guardi- ans, who will seek homes for them where educa- tional advantages will 1»- placed within their reach, where they will be clothed and fed, and we trust that they niaj find along the route, the love and sympathy that will develop in their \hiiiij; hearts Day for the Homeless Child W . and N.

Black in many weaves, still holds its own for many modes. Black messaline satin, combined with old gold for lining, makes swell wraps. One I saw was full length, with large full sleeves, turn-back cuffs heavily braided with black silk soutache, the sailor collar, reveres in front, and the band that hobbled the back at the bottom were also heavily braided; large satin-covered buttons closed it in front. Another one, of black and old gold messaline, was cut full, while the side seams, from under the arms, were left open, and five straps of same material closed them; it had the short kimono sleeves, and was made so as to combine two wraps into one, being reversible, as when one wished the old gold outside, the lapels were simply turned over, the sides buttoned over and lo! a complete transformation was wrought. There was a champagne serge with Atlantic blue messaline lining that caught my fancy. Perfectly loose fitting, with large kimono sleeves and turn back cuffs of the blue, with tiny gilt buttons on each side of the deep-slashed cuffs. A large hood lined with blue and extending over the shoulders in wide reveres to nearly the waist line in front, also had two rows of tiny gilt buttons to finish the point of the hood in the back. Large gilt buttons and silk loops closed it. Evening Gowns Up-to-date! After the wrap is doffed, we naturally look for the gown underneath. Many of the latest would al- most seem light and filmy enough to be wafted away on the faintest breeze, were it not that they were securely anchored to some pretty lass.

There was a pink folded girdle wth long ends, which had the rose spray painted on, and tiny ribbon bows separated the painted sprays on the sleeves. Another combination of dotted silk net over sea- shell pink chiffon had deep tucks on the flounce of the undersleeves, and a heading of narrow maribout gave' a pretty touch that added to the fluffiness of the frock. A folded chiffon girdle was finished by a bow and long ends of black velvet ribbon on the left front.

But a pearl beaded net over coral chiffon, which, in turn, was over messaline satin, made three gowns in one, and for something racy and unique, was certainly "it." Decollete, dainty rose sprays made entirely of chiffon linished the neck, caught the lace on the sleeves, and were placed at intervals of about live inches around the skirt at the head of the band that hobbled it into the flounces beneath. The net, chiffon and messaline flounces took away that severe hobble effect, and converted it into a charming gown. A cluster of chiffon roses and leaves was placed on the left side of the waist, looking for all the world just as though it had really come from the florist's. (Jrepes, in all the dainty shades, and white, are also in good taste, and combined with silk hand embroidery, made fetching gowns. Many of the gir- dles have long ends knotted and linished with tas- sels, and can be placed either at the back or side front. one gown of black chiffon, over white messa- line, with a deep band of King's blue at the bot- tom, was made demi-train, and a unique feature was a row of tiny black silk buttons on each seam of the black chiffon overdress. The waist was slight- ly puffed, wth a low square neck and short sleeves, and wide plain black velvet belt. A combination of taupe chiffon, over coral mes- saline, with hand embroidery around the bottom of the overdress, and silver bullion for the yoke stock and down the top of the short kimono sleeves would accentuate the charms of some dashing brun- nette. For a olond of pronounced type, a white silk net and chiffon were combined with narrow blue satin ribbon, which edged the three ruffles on the skirt. Tiny silk roses were apparently caught onto the ruffles in different places, and a bunch of the roses and leaves, tied with narrow blue satin ribbon, was fastened to the left side of the girdle, while long ends of wide blue ribbon finished it at the back. The neck was a low kimono, with short sleeves on which the silk roses were also strewn. A blue messaline of delicate shade was un- derneath, and gave a dainty, shimmery appearance to the gown. For Afternoon or Street Wear. Black and red check cloth, combined with black messaline in pipings around the neck and sleeves, folded girdle of same, and deep folds at the bottom of the skirt, made a hobble that was quite a chic model for afternoon wear. It could also be worn on the street, as heavy ecru lace formed the yoke and stock, and could also be used for the under- sleeves, if the short kimono top sleeve was pre- ferred. Black messaline, with white pin stripes, combined wim plain black messaline in oands around the skirt, folded girdle and tiny black buttons to fin- ish the waist in front and the girdle in back, also on each side of the slashed Kimono sleeve, made a natty frock for some matron who. prefers quiet effects.

The old siiying ahont all the world loving a lover is true always, and of the two chairs t his is the one which most excites the interest of the visiting tourist." Kathryn's interest in these chairs was intense, as was also that of Miss Keith, who asked the priest if he could tell the true romance of the legend that led lo ii being called the lover's "Wishing Chair." That gent leman said that there was an old manu- script in his study about the mission legends. In a few minutes Kathryn was pouring over this and absorbing every word, but it was the tale of the lover's "Wishing * hair" that interested her most It was this: "Ramon Valencia was the owner of a large ranch 0 near El Paso Del Kobles, and he was in love with the daughter of the owner of the adjoining rancho. 1 lei- name was Mercedes Escin- dilto.

Aubury has arranged for, having in view a prac- tical lesson in the promotion of home industry, is progressing toward the stage of actual installation in the Ferry Building, San Francisco. In this exhibition all counties that have structural or industrial materials of mineral origin in their borders will be invited to take part. The show is for the purpose of upbuild- ing California, and will be seen by hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Preliminary to the actual installation, a representative of the Bureau, W. W. Thayer, has been sent to Southern California to talk the matter over with those directly interested, as producers. Having visited all central points in the southern part of the State, he will now call upon and talk with producers in the central and northern portions of California. Producers are showing a lively interest in the ex- hibit, that promises to accomplish large benefits for the State, and the architectural details of a handsome facade that have been worked out show that the exhibition will be finely installed. This part of the work has been undertaken by the manu- facturers of terra cotta, acting in conjunction with an architect. The importance of promoting interest in the ex- hibition in every possible way is illustrated by the statement that, in a period of twenty-three years, the production of structural and industrial materials Jas.

Stockholders to Meet. A meeting of the stockholders of the Native Sons Hall Association of Sacramento will be held in that city, November 9th, for the purpose of electing direc- tors, and to decide the future course of the associa- tion. This will be the fourth annual meeting of the stockholders in the association. Stock was originally sold at $100 per share, payable in monthly install- ments of $2.50, and as most all the stock issued has now been fully paid for, there is a demand on the part of a large proportion of the stockholders that building operations should begin. The association owns a lot, free of debt, has con- siderable money in bank, and there is no apparent reason why a building for the Native Sons and Na- tive Daughters should not be constructed in the Capital City. It is stated on good authority that a majority of the stockholders will, at the meeting this month, insist upon an early fulfillment of the pur- pose for which the association was incorporated, namely, the erection of a hall. If this is not done, there is likely, so report has it, to be a general demand of stockholders for a return of their money. To Commence Building. Some years ago Los Angeles Parlor, No. 45.N.S.G.W. formed a hall association, with the intention of ulti- mately erecting a home. Since the owners of the quarters leased by the five Los Angeles Parlors, and known as the Native Sons Hall, have notified the tenants that they must vacate at the termination of their lease in April next year, several hall propo- sitions have been considered, but nothing came of them. It is now practically assured that the hall asso- ciation of Los Angeles Parlor will, in the very near future, erect a building on its property on Seven- teenth street, just off of Main, where all the Par- lors can be accommodated. The proposed building, of which plans are now being drawn, will be com- modious and fitted up with all conveniences for lodge purposes. Among the special features will be an attractive club-room and a large, well ventilated dancing hall, which will be equipped with an excel- lent floor, a stage and other requisites, so that it can also be used for concerts, etc. While originally stock in this association was sold only to members of Los Angeles Parlor, the board of directors recently decided to place a block of 10,000 shares, at a par value of $1 each, at the dis- posal of any Native Son who cared to invest. No stock will be sold in amounts less than 100 shares, but it can be paid for in monthly installments of five cents for each share subscribed for, or $5 per month for 100 shares. The association is in excellent financial condition, owning its own lot, and its business is conserva- tively managed. There is no reason why. upon com- pletion of the proposed building, the association should not pay a yearly dividend, but beyond this consideration, loyalty to the Order should impel every Native Son to get behind the proposition to have a IMative Sons Hall in Los Angeles, where one is so badly needed. Here's your chance! HOLD ANNUAL HIGH JINKS. Veritas Parlor, N. D. G. W., of Merced, held its annual high jinks, October 6th, at which there was a large attendance.

W., of Ventura, has sent out invitations for an elaborte banquet to be given the evening of October 27th, in celebration of the twenty-third anniversary of its institution. Great preparations have been made for the event, and a large attendance is expected. Cabrillo Parlor has unanimously adopted the fol- lowing resolution: "Resolved, That it is the sense of Cabrillo Parlor, No. 114, N. S. G. W., that every loyal Native Son should, at the coming general elec- tion, support the propositions to incur a bonded in- debtedness on behalf of the City and County of San Francisco, and the State of California, to the end that the Panama Pacific Exposition may be held at San Francisco, California, in 1915." At a recent meeting the Parlor adopted resolu- tions deploring the death of Grand Trustee Nathan P. Bundy, in whose death "the Order has suffered a great loss, especially in the southern part of the State." Believing that the vacancy thus caused in the Board of Grand Officers, "should be filled by a member of the Order who can, with ability and energy, take up the work of Grand Trustee," Cabrillo Parlor recommends the selection of Judge Robert M. Clarke of that Parlor, who has been a member of the Order for twelve years. OBSERVES FLAG DAY. Oneonta Parlor, No. 71, N. D. G. W., of Ferndale, had a large attendance of members and invited guests at its observance of Flag Day. "Five hun- dred" was indulged in for a couple of hours, the score cards, as well as the hall decorations, being in keeping with the flag day idea, the stars and stripes being everywhere in evidence. At the con- clusion of the program and games, supper was served, a feature at the banquet table being dif- ferent quotations eulogizing the flag, which were laid at each plate and which were read by those present, in their turn. Mrs. W. W. Barnes, president of the Parlor, called the assemblage to order and introduced Mrs. S. G. Aggeler who, as chairman of the arrange- ments committee, presided during the rendition of the following program : -Song, Native Daughters' choir, Mrs. W. F. Ries. Miss Agnes Smith, Mrs. W. W.

Those in charge of the affair were: Mrs. E. G. Luentzel, Mrs. Don L. Clam- pitt, Mrs. William J. Dorr and Miss Elizabeth Demp- sey.

Wallace would divide California into two States, but read what Timothy Spellacy says, then consider. "Tim" Spellacy, democratic nominee for Lieutenant-Gov- ernor, in his speeches in Los Angeles and San Francisco, said: "I am strongly opposed, for all time, to any movement looking toward the division of our great State.

Every inch of it is sacred to every mother's son of us who has a spark of pride, sen- timent or patriotism in his makeup. Divide California ? Well, I should say not !" Compare this statement of Mr. Spellacy with that of his Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican opponent, A. J. Wallace, who is Chairman of the Los Angeles State-Division League, and at a meeting of that League, held October 5, 1909, said: "State division cannot be accomplished in a few weeks or months, but will probably come only after a year or more of constant endeavor. I am in favor of going into the matter now, and not putting off for long that which manifestly should be done now." This same A. J. Wallace, insurgent nominee for Lieutenant-Governor, is a member of the committee appointed at that meeting to "CARRY ON THE CONSTANT ENDEAVOR," by which it is hoped eventually to divide the State into two. Which of these two men are you going to vote for ? It shouldn't be difficult to decide ! 6 THE GRIZZLY BEAR November Native Daughters Shirt Waist Dance.

Paulson SEVERAL PARLORS OF JUNIOR NATIVE SONS ORGANIZED. For several years past, propositions looking to the formation of junior parlors of native sons have been before the Grand Parlor, N. S. G. W., the idea being to get boys between 12 and 18 years of age interested in the parent order and its work and teachings as regards the State. The Lake Tahoe Grand Parlor authorized a committee to investigate the plan, and report, at the 1911 session. To thor- oughly test the proposition, several junior parlors are being organized, and their career will be watch- ed with interest. Whle at present these junior parlors are in no way affiliated with the Order of Native Sons of the Golden West, the Grand Parlor has, in a meas- ure, encouraged their institution, and if, after due trial, it can be shown that the idea is in the best interests of the Order's future, the juniors will, in all probability, be made a branch of the N S G.W. At present, however, the junior order of native sons is no way aligned with the Order of N. S. G. W. Balboa Parlor, i\o. 3, Junior vrder of Native Sons, was instituted publicly ctober 11th., at Richmond Masonic Temple, by a committee of or- ganizers appointed by the senior parlor, namely: Walter C. Eisenschimel, chairman; George Stroh- meier. John 0. * lugger, Frank Hardy, James P. Olwell. Jr., and James J. O'Meara. The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and the members and friends were on hand to witness the installation ceremonies The parlor is composed of Ciiiifornia-born lads between the ages of 12 and IS years. It is organized for social purposes, as well as to give the boys a good moral training under the proper supervision, so thnt they may finauy be- come full-fledged Native Sons. John C. Mienest, a student of the State Normal School, was made pre- siding officer, and with other officers, was selected to serve for the term. Presidio Parlor, Xo. 1. J. O. N.

Mr. Parker, in company with twenty-three other young adventurers, purchased a whaling vessel of 400 tons burden, with provisions for two years, and loaded a cargo of lumber for sale in California, sailing from Nantucket, Mass., for the gold fields, in August, 1849. The little vessel sailed into San Francisco Bay in February, 1850. After selling the ship and cargo, Mr. Parker went to Stockton on the steamer General Sutter, paying $25 for the trip.

After a lengthy passage of nine months he reached California, while the State was yet in its territorial condition. After a few month's stay in San Francisco, he removed to Sacra- mento during the terrible epidemic of cholera, and while the excitement incident to the squatter riots was still intense. Here he engaged in the drug, busi- ness for some years, when he went East to study medicine, graduating from Harvard in 1S56. Shortly after receiving his degrees, he returned to Sacra- mento and had resided there ever since. E. B. Thurher, who arrived in San Francisco by way of Panama in 1S50, passed away near Winters recently. He was a native of Rhode Island, aged S4 years, and is survived by a widow and four chil- dren. After his arrival here, deceased spent some time in Sonoma and Napa Counties, but since 1S5S had resided in Pleasant Valley. Pablo Vasquez, who was born at Mission Dolores, San Francisco, January 25, 1842, passed away in San Francisco, October 5th, survived by five chil- dren.

For many years he had resided at Half Moon Bay, and his interment took place there. Dougal Stuart Sartwell, who arrived in San Fran- cisco, via Panama, in 1850, died recently at Crescent City, survived by two sons.

She was a native of Belfast, Ireland, aged 64 years. A "friend," writing of this good woman in the lone Echo, said: "Another Pioneer Mother has laid down the strenuous cares of a pioneer life to take her Good Beer and Good Health Go Hand in Hand Drink the Best that's Brewed Valley Brew East and West MeQ&l DCCF Easl snd West Cool— Refreshing— Healthful ELDORADO BREWING CO. Stockton, California rest beside the companion of her younger days — gone, to work no more; gone, to sleep among the blessed. Margaret Bagley is, perhaps, looking down to-night upon the grass-grown streets of the little mining camp she loved so well, or possibly listening to the swish of the hydraulic, as she rocked the cradle of her baby boy. * * * Faithful as a wife, patient and loving as a mother, she- was esteemed by all, and left behind her seven children to mourn a mother's love and miss a mother's gootl-night kiss." Mrs. Adelaide Phillips, who came by wagon train to California in the early '50s, passed away in lone, October 8th, survived by four children. Deceased was a native of Wisconsin, aged 64 years. She was of a very sympathetic nature, and was always a comfort in sickness and distress. DONNER PARTY RESCUER JOINS THE SILENT MAJORITY. John Baptiste Truvido, aged 85 years, who assisted in the rescue of the ill-fated Donner Party, died at Marshall recently. Truvido was a young man at the time, and chanced to be at Sutter's Fort, when the news of the party's distress reached there. He was one of the first to undertake the Herculean task of conveying supplies over the snow-covered mountains to the starving immigrants, and was one of the first to reach them. In other ways Truvido was an interesting charac- ter. His father, and his grandfather before him, had been French Canadian trappers and traders who roamed among the Indians in that vast empire lying west of the Mississippi River. Truvido never knew exactly where he was born, but said that, to the best of his knowledge, he first saw the light of day somewhere in what is now the state of Utah. He was brought up in that wild country, and at the time of his death was perhaps the last direct descendant of one of the most daring and picturesque company of men that ever explored new lands, bringing with them the traces of civilization which today domi- nate the Western world. Truvido years ago settled among the Indians in Tomales and there, among the half-breeds, he found congenial company.

The words are by Joseph D. Redding, a well-known San Franciscan, and the music by Victor Herbert. The scenes are laid along the Santa Barbara coast, and around them are woven romantic California stories. "Natoma" is a story of early California days, during the mission period. The first act is laid on a Santa Barbara Channel island, the second on the mainland near the mission church, and the third within the mission. In the first act, Don Francisco de la Guerra is celebrating with great pomp at his Santa Cruz Island hacienda, the coming of age of Barbara, his daughter, who lias just finished her convent days. Juan Bautista Alvarado, cousin of Barbara, seeks her hand in marriage. He enters the stage, a fiery, impetuous character, accompanied by Jose Castro, a hateful half-breed, and Pico and Kagama, rough riders and vaqueros. Natoma, a native Spanish girl, companion to Barbara, enters with Paul Merrill, a lieutenant, who has rowed from the mainland to meet her. Paul points to a necklace of abalone and calls the maiden queen of the land, asking the secret of the amulet at her neck. Natoma sings the legend of her race: "Vanished are my father's people; now the stranger comes as chieftain." During the en- semble, as Father Peralta brings Barbara to Don Francisco, the eyes of Barbara and Paul meet, and love springs up. The Half-breed, Castro, upbraids Natoma for going with the white people, but she spurns him. The second act opens in Santa Barbara before the dawn. There is a solo by Natoma, a drunken row of Alvarado with the innkeeper, a chorus of Spanish soldiers, and Alvarado dances a habanera. Paul sings a tribute to the flag of Spain and an ode to Barbara. The crowd dances the minuet, breaking into a panuelo. the dance of proposal, at the climax of which, each gallant places his hat upon the head of his lady love, though Alvarado's is tossed aside by Barbara. Castro and Natoma dance the ancient- dagger dance, Natoma taking the dare of Castro. Alvarado, already having planned to abduct Barbara, is seen with Kagama untying the thongs from the leather rail at which she is seated. He plucks his serape from his shoulders and is preparing to throw it about Barbara, when Natoma witnesses what is occurring. _and, seizing her dagger, springs upon Alvarado and strikes him dead. Paul, with his sailors, holds the crowd at bay. In the third, and final act, Natoma is discovered alone in the mission church, where, bathed in the afternoon sun that is streaming through the stained windows, she droons an Indian song. Father Peralta appears from behind the altar as she is invoking the Great Spirit to bring down destruction upon the strangers. He exorts with her, and she says: "I see the way; there is one I would make happy. I have spoken." The church fills, Barbara and Paul kneeling with the rest as the nuns file in and take Natoma back with them to the convent and the veil. The orchestra gives fortissimo the notes of Natoma's Indian theme of fate, as Father Peralta lifts his hands in benediction NATIVE DAUGHTERS !

The night of October 24th, the Los Angeles Belasco stock company, headed by Lewis S. Stone, and featuring in the title role the new leading woman, Eleanor Gordon, began the presentation of Shubert's laughing success, "The Bluse Mouse," by Clyde Fitch. The play is woven around a railroad office attache who, needing the money which his wife's dowry will bring, learns that his father-in-law will not give this dowry until he — the husband — is promoted to the position of superintendent, and accordingly he institutes a search for a way in which this promotion may be accomplished. He learns that the railroad president likes to flirt with the pretty wives of his employees, but not wishing to involve hisown wife in a flirtation, employs a Salome dancer, known as the "Blue Mouse," whom he introduces as his wife — and then the fun comes thick and furious. Eleanor Gordon appears as the '"Blue Mouse," put down in the cast as Paulette Devine, a Salome dancer; Lewis Stone impersonates the young hus- band, and Frank Camp the railroad president. The whole company appears to excellent advantage, and the audience is kept in a continuous state of laugh- ter, owing to the many ludicrous situations brought about. Pinero's great play, "The Gay Lord Quex," will succeed the ■"Blue Mouse." At the Los Angeles Theater. Los Angeles' popular vaudeville house, the Los An- geles, presented an exceptionally good bill the week of October 24th, in the nature of a road show. Every act was a top-liner, and the usual crowded bouses were in order. For the week commencing Monday afternoon, Octo- ber 31st, the bill will include: Madame Jenny's cats and monkey circus, introducing trained angora cats and monkeys; Lester & Moure, in laughable quips and timely song hits; Leonard, Louie and Gil- little, the athletic collegians; Hughes musical trio, instrumental virtuosos; Hallen & Hayes, the funniest of funny men; Martin & Maxmilian, comical trick- sters, and the always enjoyable langh-o-scope. "A Mock Trial" for Homeless Children. The Native Sons and Native Daughters Central Committee on Homeless Children are indebted to Wilbur C. Wall of Stockton for one hundred copies of "A Mock Trial," written by him. These books were given to aid the children's cause in which he is much interested, and were distributed to Parlors in WILBUR C. WALL, Author of "A Mock Trial" the interior, whence calls had been made for sugges- tions for entertainments to be given on Children's Day. "A Mock Trial" is one of the most laughable and enjoyable skits that could possibly be staged by local talent. The story is based on a famed and sensational breach of promise suit entitled, "Delieia Fewclothes vs. Charles Stringbeans," and the case comes up for hearing before Judge Graft in 1 I the Inferior Court of the County of Discord, State of Discontent. Reports have come from Calistoga to the effect that a large audience listened to this trial, and thoroughly enjoyed the arguments of the eminent attorneys, among whom was the Hon. Reese Clark, leading attorney for the prosecution. General Winn Parlor, N. S. G. W., of Antioch, in putting on the same play, October 17th, raised a large sum for the fund. The author of "A Mock Trial" gave the closing argument for the prosecution in a very able manner, and one of the best features of the evening was the testimony of "Hiram Birdseed," Hon. C. M. Belshaw, P. G. P., who was dressed as an old mountaineer and who, with his three friends, constituted the "Spinach Quartette." Their rendi- tions of "John Browu's Body," "Old Oaken Bucket" and "Maggie May" proved them worthy of their title, "vocalists." Green Room Gossip.

A Campaign of Education. We have but entered upon a general educational campaign, as products of inferior quality every- where must gradually give way to those of greater worth and it will be within the province of the League to assist manufacturers in making known t"i rectly the actual value of their respective lines. as it has been found, not only in < !alifora.a but elsewhere, that the manufacturers who are success- ful are those who make their product s known to the world, for however meritorious a product may be it cannot be sold in large quantities if unknown to i he public. One of the greatest difficulties which manufacturers and people alike will have to over- come will be the disposition on the part of some dealers to sell the products which afford them the Largest profits, regardless of quality, but it is mani- festly to the interest of each purchaser to get full value for his money and it may be confidently pre- dicted that such dealers will be forced to supply i In- noods demanded by the people or, failing to do so, to lose their patronage. The manufacturer located in California, surrounded by a large, intelligent and sympathetic population, acting in conjunction with the League and t lie Na- tive Sons and Native Daughters of the Golden West, will be able to establish, if earnest and active in his efforts, a profitable business for himself and help to upbuild the entire community, which is the main pill). use of the League, roluposed aS it is of the captains of industry who wish to do their part for the common good.

While the Board of Grand Officers has the power to fill the vacancy, there i- no doubt but that tlie members of t he board would appoint the choice of these delegates, as it has been practi cally agreed that the honor should go to some Southern California member.

LELANDE.) HE BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP OF the world belongs to the Philadelphia elub of the American League. They clinched the big pennant last Sunday, October 23rd, in the final game of the series, scoring seven runs to two for the Chicago Nationals. Five games were played and the Eastern young- sters took four of them by outbattiug, outfielding and outrushing the veteran Chieagoans. They got the "jump" at the start, and although Chicago punctuated their progress with a defeat Saturday, it really did not change the situation a bit. The performance of Coombs of the Philadelphias, in pitching and winning three of a five-game series is probably unique. He had but one day's rest be- tween the second and third games, but three days intervened between the third game and Sunday's exhibition. He had better control in the last game than in the previous contests, and fooled the oppos- ing batters when hits meant runs. Brown, for Chi- cago, pitched excellent ball, except in the disastrous eighth, and the holocaust of that inning was by no means entirely his fault. Chicago's failure in the series can be laid to one cause — the weakness of the pitchers. The club has maintained its place in the National League race by getting an odd run or two in small-score games. Interest in the series was intense throughout the country, and immense crowds attended the contests. Vhe gate receipts ran up to $79,071, 60 per cent going to the Philadelphians and 40 per cent to the Chieagoans. Following are the official averages for the series : PHILADELPHIA. No. Games. Batting.

In the final defeat of Chicago, Coombs, the Phila- delphia pitcher, who already had won two games, threw only 120 balls to the' plate, while Brown, the Cub twirler, in his effort to stop the men who finally became champions, hurled 142. As compared with the former game, Coombs' twirling was about equal. On Monday, at Philadelphia, Bender threw 120 balls to the plate. On Tuesday, Coombs threw 151, the game in which he gave nine bases on balls. On Thursday he threw 120, and on Saturday Bender heaved 110. Chicago pitchers in the opening game threw 101 balls to the batters; on Tuesday, 149, and on Satur- day. 135, as against 142 Sunday. During the series tlic Chicago pitchers threw 659 balls to the plate, as compared with 621 by the Athletics. Coast League Nears End. The Pacific Coast League season is about con- cluded, and from all indications the Ducks of Port- land will be the new champions, with Oakland second, third place undecided — as the race between Vernon and San Francisco is close, the advantage being with Vernon at this writing — and Los Angeles and Sacra- mento bringing up the rear, in the order named.

Vogelsang, chief deputy warden of the State Fish and Game Commission, addressed the San Francisco Commercial Club at a recent luncheon, on the propagation of fish and game. He reviewed the history of the Commssion since its organization in 1870, and quoted the United States Commission of Fisheries as authority for the statement that this State's salmon work leads the world. California, said the speaker, ranks second among the states in the issuance of licenses for hunters, the total last year being 128,000. This revenue, with fines, he said, makes the Commission, with more than 100 employees, practically self-sustaining. There have been killed up to date 11.022 mountain lions, with a bounty of $2 a head. It is estimated that each mountain lion kills on an average 156 deer a year. Phoenix Road Race. The Los Angeles-Phoenix automobile road race is attracting great attention, and there are numerous entries for the event. The start will be made from Second and Spring streets, Los Angles, at midnight of November 5th. The Maricopa Automobile Club is handling the affair. Everything is being done to make the race a success, and checkers, where cars can register, will be stationed at San Bernardino, Dos Palms and Chuckawalla. All ears reaching Mecca will have their entrance fees refunded, as also will those meeting with an unavoidable accident. Great Football Contest. The annual football contest between the teams of the University of California and the Leland Stan- ford, Jr., University, will take place November 12th. This year's event is looked forward to with great interest by the friends of both institutions, as well as football fans generally, and draws an imnipnsc crowd. This year the teams of both universities are said to be exceptionally well trained, and a close and exciting contest is looked forward to. State Rifle Shoot. Rifle shots from all over California will gather at San Jose, October 31st, in the annual State rifle shoot, under the auspices of the San Jose Rifle elub, $3000 in cash and merchandise prizes being awarded the winners. The biggest attendance ever at a State shoot is promised by the entries. CALIFORNIA CHARTED AS A HUGE ISLAND. Ancient Map of the World Given to the Chamber of Commerce. When George III was Prince of Wales, he believed California was an island. That the prince shared this ignorance with all the world, is shown in the handsome map made in his father's reign and in- scribed to "George, Prince of Wales," which now hangs on the walls of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. The antiquity was presented to the Chamber by W. C. Dickerson, a local photographer. The map is an heirloom, and has been yellowing on the walls of Mr. Dickerson's family homes for years. It is correct, so far as Europe. Africa and part of the Atlantic coast of America is concerned, but the western world is the subject of vague guesses or wild dreams. California, on this map, is a pretty island with scalloped edges, which lies not far from the equator. The Mississippi River, labeled the Maschas River, was evidently drawn where it would look best, for it wanders all over the map, from the Rocky Moun- tains to the Appalachian Range, finally emptying, as it should, however, into an inaccurate Gulf of Mexico. Pretty conical hills, labeled "\Rocky Moun- tains," are dispersed artistically over the document, from Nevada to Lake Huron. Canada looks lame and empty in the northwestern part, where its boundaries fade off into white space, and is labeled generally "New Yorkshire." Greenland, which had been discovered some 500 years when the map was published, has one spot on its coast drawn authentic- ally, while the remainder stretches toward the North Pole in pretty but improbables curves. The map is without a date, except for its inscrip- tion to the Prince of Wales, who became King George in about the middle of the seventeenth century. HALF GUILTY; HALF INNOCENT. The Amusing Verdict of a Jury in an Early-Day Robbery Trial in California. One of the good stories in circulation in Califor- nia in the late '60s, told of the trial of a man named Danks, at Yuba City, for burglary. He had worked for a miner named Jim Briller, who lived in a tent and had a sack of gold dust valued at $S0 concealed beneath the bunk, the hiding place of which, becom- ing known to Danks, the latter cut a slit in the tent and, thrusting his head and shoulders through the opening, stole the sack, but was discovered while committing the theft. As the trial progressed and counsel for the prisoner became aware of the facts, he asked Briller: "How far did he get in when he took the sack of dust?" Briller replied: "He was stooping over, with about half his body in." The prisoner's counsel now demanded the discharge of the defendant, as the allegations of the indict- ment charged him with entering a dwelling with intent to steal, while the evidence showed that half of his body was never inside of the dwelling. The judge, after considering the matter awhile, finally concluded to refer it to the jury to decide, and the jury, after deliberating, brought in a ver- dict, reading: "Guilty as charged, from the waist up." The judge then sentenced the guilty half to two and a half years in San Quentin State Prison, leav- ing it optional with the prisoner to take his legs with him. Do You Go In for Sports ?

Broadway, (Room 404) Los Angeles LOYALTY TO THE STATE THROUGH ITS INDUSTRIES (Continued from Page 4, Column :}.) sending t heir represent atives to i he Coast to get aoi i the business. The fire and great catastrophe of 1906 destroyed the bulk of the factories. Man; of those that survived went down in the crash of 1907. There were a few that went to the interior eities of the State, and to Los Angeles, and to the Northwest states, and some East ; but no matter, we have lost the great majority of them. During the time of the disorganization period fol- lowing the tire, the inHux of Eastern manufacturers' agents was very great. The local plants had not y.-t been restored. The demand for goods was great and consequently, of the goods purchased, the great- est portion of the manufactured commodities were necessarily purchased from the East. The East got the trade, and still holds it. The same condition applied to the jobbers, wholesalers and retailers, to a certain extent, but not to such a demoralizing de- gree as to the manufacturers. The jobber, whose little equipment was readily rehabilitated, and who bought quite a bit from the State manufacturers in the old days, now purchases all of his commodities except a few "lill-ins" from the East, and is back to a firmly normal basis of business, while the poor depleted manufacturer is out of it entirely. TIip -i - in the interior of California and along the toast, south and north, in Alaska and the Orient, t hat formerly bought from San Francisco manufac- turers, got in the habit of buying from the East and the North, filled in the old lines with similar com- modities from those points, and will not change back to t he old ones for any inducement, which further means a permanent loss in most every case to the California manufacturers. This, however, is not the only source of trade loss, but the great jobbing, wholesale and retail centers of San Francisco itself are al present more than ever buying from the East. ¥et while the retailer, who is dependent upon the purchasing power of the community — which is cre- ated by the number of employed in manufacturing — is suffering with the manufacturer, he apparently does not realize the cause of it and continues to buy his commodities from the East in preference to the state manufacturer that keeps him alive, never realizing that every dollar he sends away goes to build up another manufacturing community, to his detriment. Great Imposition Permitted. These are some of the principal reasons of San Francisco's loss of business manufactories and a re- sultant holdingback of the industrial development of the entire State and a natural retarding of the growth of its population. This is more serious than we imagine. 'The effect is distressing. The State is also seriously affected by the sending East and even abroad of its many products and raw materials to be there manufactured and shipped back to us for our consumption, labeled as the product of the lo- cality in which they were manufactured and packed. Think of the imposition! Reputations of other parts. builded upon the products of the hills and valleys >i California, and that reputation even established in the minds of Calif ornians by the placing in their mouths of the products of their own State falsely labeled. California, the market garden of the en- tire world, it seems, is placed in this position because sh.- has not the manufacturing establishments that can profitably carry on a business, and all because of the fact that Californians do not buy the goods that are manufactured in California. Do all of us realize that Oregon. Washington. Ida- ho and British Columbia are attracting people and developing their resources and manufacturing, and thai China and Japan are growing and manufactur- ing commodities that they once purchased from Cali- fornia, and that Alaska is buying nearly altogether from Washington, Oregon and British Columbia; that Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado. New Mexico and Texas are buying their jobbing and manufacturing commodities from the East? These facts we can't lose sight of or forget. But far worse and shame- fully deplorable is the fact that, little as our State manufacturers sell to sister States or foreign coun- tries, they sell less to our own people. Is this loy- alty to California? Is this loyalty to ourselves and our families-.' I must go further and ask. is this sanity? Do we stop to think that the development of our dairy farms, conservation of forests, the cultivation of hay. barley, beets, hops, beans, wool, honey. raisins, olives, nuts, prunes, dried fruits, deciduous fruits, truck gardening and the development of gold dredging and lumber forests, the wine and oil indus- tries, are greatly dependent upon manufacturing that (Continued on Page 28, Column 1.)

Loyalty to the State Through Its Industries (Continued from Page 27, Column 2.) provides the employing element and increasing of the population that makes the market? One farm and its attendant employment of .labor will increase our population to a great extent, but one new man- ufacturing plant, with its attendant labor, will in- crease our population to a still greater extent. No doubt there are many of us who do not keep in mind the fact that the State of California has a scant two millions of people with only 72,542 farms, and that there is comfortable room for more than twenty millions of people and 633,420 farms. Nor are many of us aware that in the entire State of California we have only a few more than five thous- and factories, employing about fifty-three thousand people, which is about the same number that San Francisco alone had six years ago. Is that healthy manufacturing? "Where are the exports of manufactured commodi- ties we should have? In the year 1909 the United States exported about $12,000,000 of manufacured ar- ticles to the Philippines. We venture to say that California, through the city of San Francisco, or any other city, did not send two millions of her own man- ufactured products. There really has not been any material increase, to speak of, in our exports from San Francisco's port since 1891, when we shipped commodities amounting to $53,000,000, and in 1909, $55,114,000. According to the ratio of our natural development, this is in truth a "falling off." It may be attributed to our small wheat crop, as compared to twenty years ago. Interest Must be Awakened. The world hears of California through its sun- shine, fruit and flowers and its wonderful natural resources, but has it ever heard of its successful manufacturing or of its many products which excel those of the rest of the world? Does the world know what we manufacture ? Do our own citizens know? I thnk I can safely say they do not. Cali- fornia can and does produce and manufacture all staple commodities, and while the variety of her manufactured articles is very great, the quantity is only equal to the demand — very small. The East and foreign countries are putting you out of busi- ness, Californians. I will correct that statement — you are putting yourselves out of business. Is there any wonder then, that a Home Industry League has sprung into being ? Some few have awakened and have banded themselves together under the title stated, and these few will not cease their efforts until thy have awakened the whole State. How is the State going to develop its wonderful resources? Unquestionably, by attracting a greater population here. How can it attract a greater population, if it has not manufactories — and to obtain these manu- factories we must first develop, foster and perfect the industries that are here and have been neglected. Develop, foster and perfect means only PATRONIZE. Do you, does your neighbor, know that we are sending the greatest portion of our leather away to be manufactured into shoes and gloves and sent back here, when we have shoe factories throughout the State that can equal the shoes of any other State, and gloves as well ? Do you think that San Francisco retailers buy the gloves that are manufactured here? As one manu- facturer said, 'If I depended on San Francisco for my glove business I should starve, and yet I employ one hundred people who are buying every day from the retailer and other tradesmen who do not buy my commodity. It is strange, when I sell them East, North, and South." The same applies to the shoe man, and in fact, to every other manufacturer in our State. And in ladies' wearing apparel, such as cloaks, suits, hose, underwear, aprons, cloth, shoes, furs, hats, knit- ted goods, robes, ruching, silks, skirts, theatrical cos- tumes, do our Native Daughters know that Califor- nia manufactures all of these and that they can make increased manufacturing if they will ask for them in the stores? Do the women also know that California also manufactures every article to fur- nish the household, such as furniture, lamp fixtures, bedding, bedsteads (iron, wood and brass), willow- ware, vacuum cleaners, ranges and stoves, refriger- ators, rattan goods, pianos, and incidentals, paints, oils, shutters, doors, mirrors, rugs, and everything else that is needed ? Also, that in food products we can compare with and surpass any made elsewhere, such as salts, spices, vinegar, pickles, yeast, jams, preserves, cider, butter, baking powder, extracts, canned goods of all kinds, .glace fruits, crackers, candy, gelatine, syrups, olive oil, cereals, sausages, sauces, sauerkraut, sugar, meats, fish, cakes, pastry, celery, coffee, tea, cocoa- nut, cocoa, chocolate, flour, paste, maccaroni, spag- hetti, and Saratoga chips. These are but a few of the articles, and those that come immediately to the mind of the writer. As for men. we manufacture all their requirements. They need only ask for them. They will not get them otherwise. "Made in California" Must Be Our Slogan. Think of the contracts that are going East and to foreign countries every day from our State in building materials and other commodities. Thin); of the marble that is produced and finished in this State — marble as fine as can be produced anywhere, and omre durable — and yet our State Government, our municipalities, and private builders, have sent and are sending to foreign parts for ninety per cent of the marble required. The same might be said of nearly all other building material. What will our iron and steel people do, who man- ufacture the best pumps, water wheels, gas engines, boilers, and tanks made in this country, if the money is given to Eastern manufacturers? What will the foundries, machine shops, structural iron shops, ship building yards, do for work? What will labor do? AVhat will our printers, engravers and lithogra- phers do, if the business houses, insurance compa- nies, banks, etc.. continue to send their work East? Do these people depend upon Eastern communities for their business? Will sending money East in- crease the value of our property holdings, building and general development? What will the broom, brush, fireworks, gum, art glass, glass bottles, wagon, bag, leather, saw, barrel, cement, glue, blacking, bolt, book-binding, paper and wooden box, jewelry, button, candle, card, casket, chair, cotton, cigar and cigarette, chemical, cream of tartar, cordage, cordials, powder, dredges, elevator, faucet, brass, fire apparatus, fixtures, flag, forging, furnace, match, hammock, mattress, feather, paint, paper, lead, perfume, pipe, post card, putty, rubber stamp, sail, sheet metal, steel spring, suit case. trunk, wooden tank, terra cotta, silk thread, safe, vault factories, and hundreds of other enterprises, do for business if our own people do not ask for "Made in California" goods? We are all going along blindly. Our eyes are shut to the seriousness of it all. The retailer, the jobber, and the ultimate consumer are not buying enough California-made goods. We must promote, develop, produce and buy. We. all of us, must demand and purchase "Made in California" goods, and the imme- diate and greater prosperity of California and Cali- fornians will exceed our greatest expectations.

Press dispatches tell us of a California-bound tourist who, upon going to bed in a Pullman, hung his pants near an open window of the berth. On crossing the Arizona desert, a stiff breeze came up and the pants were blown out onto the sands. That in itself was bad, but when we are informed, further along in the dispatch, that there were sixty dollars in the pants pockets, our sympathy turns to horror. Just think of the audacity of a tourist bound for this glorious land being blown in — or rather out, in this instance — right on our threshold! We must take some means to prevent a recurrence of this dilemma, and see that all necessary protection is put around our tourists' money, at least until they get within the State. The best resolution with which we can begin 1911 is to give strict attention to our own faults, and not be trying to point out the errors of others. We all have plenty of imperfections, and can best employ our spare moments in trying to overcome them. Remember the opening lines of the old adage of the "Turkey and the Ant" and profit by the moral therein: "In otner men we faults can spy, And blame the mote that dims their eye; Each little speck and blemish find, To our own stronger errors blind." » * # The "Made in California" label is a guarantee of the best. You want the best, and especially if it is produced at home. Demand California products and get the best, and at the same time benefit yourself by encouraging home industries. The Federal Census Bureau seems loath to ad- mit the phenomenal growth of California cities. We know there's a gooa reason, and that reason is being made known to our Eastern friends. Result: People are shaking off the snows of the East, and scurrying for the sunshine of the Golden State. While our population has grown wonder- fully, there is still room for more good citizens. Conditions in California were never better, and opportunities are numberless and within reach of all. # * * Two pages of a recent Sunday edition of a Los Angeles paper were devoted to describing how young ( * society ' ' married women were searching the orphan homes and foundling shelters for babies to brighten their homes.

ERENA LOWE HAD KKHKLLKD Serena, who had accepted mildly and unquestionably the duties that fate anu the family had put upon her for thirty years. Grandma Nose stood at the window and wiped her eyes as she watched her making her way down the hill to the car line, walking cautiously r Jfi^fe among the brittle grass and patches ™ of snow to avoid the treacherous ice that coated the center of the road. It was not yet a week since Thanksgiving — in fact, Serena was still carrying bakeu chicken sandwiches for her lunch— and yet she had said she didn't feel called upon to do without the com- forts and pleasures of life any longer. "Comforts and pleasures of life," when they had a bigger pile of wood than anyone else on Johnny Lake Ridge and were the only family that sent the washing out! It was tempting Providence to talk like that. Nowadays young folks didn 't know what hard- ships were. If Serena hau lived in the days when her grandfather was a boy, and had seen him stand- ing barefooted in the snow felling trees on this very farm, she might have been more content. But working in the city aau probably oiven her strange ideas. One would think, though, that she would remember how hard it was for old people to be moved, and to leave the scenes and friends they had known all their lives. Serena didn't think, either, how the awful summer heat would take her strength, and she had laughed at the idea of earth- quakes. Never before in her life had Serena shown the disposition of her father's family, but this morning she seemed to have an the unreasonableness and determination of her aunt, Abigail Lowe. The idea that a child like her should set up her will that she knew what was best for her grandmother! The trouble was, that this California business offer had made Serena selfish. It was hard to stand in the way of people's plans; it was very hard to be a burden. Having added this last bit of misery to her load, Grandma Rose sat down and cried from the depths of her bewildered and indignant old heart. Ever since she had been nineteen, Serena Lowe had gone to the city each day to her work, and each night had come wearily home to the farm- house that Grandma Rose had kept neat and un- changed for over fifty years. At first she had tried to participate in the occasional social events of the Ridge, but after the day's work and the long car ride, she soon found that the exertion of dress- ing and going to the homes of her friends out- weighed the pleasure she gained. Then came the days when, having grown away from her old ac- quaintances, she did not care to go. Her work as a private secretary was singularly devoid of the personal element and without opportunity of meet- ing other young employees. To get no view of Life's drama except from the seats allotted to spectators, becomes monotonous in time, and for years Serena had had but little to tell her granumother in the evening when they reviewed the day 's events for each other, except the glimpses of comedy and tragedy that had held her attention on the suburban cars. And the old lady had seldom anything to repeat but the gossip of the grocery boy and the crop reports of the man who rented the farm. Once every week there was a letter from "the children in California," to be read before the evening paper, and as regularly as the pages were folded upon the affectionate fare- well. Grandma Rose would exclaim with convic- tion, "Do you know, Serena, if I were a little younger we would fo to California." The day that Grandma Rose had talked of most of her life and dreaded and anticipated keenly by turns ever since the morning when Serena had laid down the law, had arrived. She and Serena sat in their respective gray and blue serge suits, with their wraps laid out upon the trunks, and there was yet fifty minutes to wait. The atmos- phere of farewell was beginning to numb even their neighbor, Mrs. Radcliff 's, conversational powers, when little Eunice Bates, the nurse, hurried around the house. A scurry of blackened leaves preceded her into the kitchen. Catching up the broom, she darted here and there, sweeping thorn out against the bitter wind and exclaiming all the while, "There, I was too [ate! Mother just worried all night brciiiisc vv didn't have anything but current jell for your lunch, and at breakfast she remem- bered the white fish. No, not for lunch of course, but she thought, seeing you were so fond of it, may lie it sin- u rapped it up hard and fast you could put it in your trunk and after you'd been there awhile you'd relish it. But I see you've got the trunks all strapped.' "Now, that was kind of you, Eunie, but never mind, I have the jelly you sent. It s likely the last I'll ever have, so I packed it in one of my new shoes to eat after - get there. You know, currants don't do weii in California. I always said I liked currant jeny better than any other kind.'' "And fish,'' exclaimed ..irs. Kadcliff, as soon as Grandma Rose's minoi tones had ceased, "they say salt water fish can't hold a candle to our lake fish. Nothing can except shad, and of course that's like oysters, not found on the Pacific Coast.'1 "The heat out there don't agree with cats either. That's one reason, Mrs. Radcliff, why I'm glad you're going to live here. I'd so hate to have old Rut'us moved in his old age." Just here Serena found an opportunity to check the subtle tide of incrimination that had been ris- ing against her, "There, grandma, there's that new comb you put in the crack in the window frame when the wind blew so nard night before last." "Why * thought you hau packeu it! What would we have done without a comb?" replied Mrs. Rose. "Serena," whispered Mrs. Radcliff, "that heart medicine I brought? I worry awfully about those mountain heights. I haven't said anything about it beiore, but 1 put- in a .jottle of tonic for her, they say the continued even temperature out there makes the blood so thin." Meanwhile, little Miss Bates was continuing, "Mrs. Rose, you won't have any troubles this Christmas in California. ' ' "I'm afraid it won't seem like Christmas, every- thing being so different — no snow and no old friends, but of course I'll have the children, and Serena will be happy." ' ' You know, grandma. " ' retorted Serena, ' ' we were alone last year. Your rheumatism was so bad and we had to stay at home to keep the fires so your plants and the vegetables wouldn 't freeze. And the Stebbins' couldn't come up to dinner be- cause their water pipes burst and spoiled the par- lor ceiling." "By the way, Mrs. Rose, did you get your Crim- son Rambler rose taken up so as to take with you?" inquired Mrs. Radcliff. "Yes, but its pretty old to transplant, and I'm afraid it won't grow, taking it at this time of the year." "Well, if it does, I guess they'll think we have some pretty things in the old Buckeye State, after all," commented Miss Bates. "I'll tell you one thing," said Mrs. Radcliff prophetically, "Grandma Rose won't ever go back on her old home the way most of them do. It's strange the way folks get after they've been in California a spell." Grandma Rose was starting a story about an Irishman who said, "Dang a man who will go back on his own countree, " when Warren Radcliff drove into the yard and began to shovel away the snow so as to be able to back his wagon to the side door for the trunks. His wife hurried for the soap stones, while Eunice Bates and Serena knelt on the floor pulling on Grandma Rose's new and un- stretched black woolen tights. Amid the breath- less searching for, and adjustment of, overshoes, kid gloves, woolen gloves, veils and mufflers, Mrs. Radcliff revolved frantically about the stove, mak- ing sage tea and alternately insisting that her hus- band drive down the Wool Hollow Road, so that the travelers could get a last view of the ceme- tery, and imploring forgiveness for having been such a poor neighbor. When the last embraces and tears were over and the wagon was jolting over the frozen ground and creaking through the snow, Serena heard her grand- mother moaning weakly under her mufHer, "Oh, why was I tempted to roam," and her new-found THE GRIZZLY BEAR December Lowe determination weakened, and the responsibil- ity of transplanting Grandma Rose crushed down upon her shoulders. E\ren though parted from the friends of seventy years and torn from the scenes of a lifetime, with eertain death awaiting at the first high altitude, Grandma Rose took a little interest in passing through Oberlin, where Cousin Harriet used to go to school, and by tne time Toledo was reached she was watching eagerly for the bridge where the awful train wreck occurred. She took a melan- choly delight in pointing out to Serena that they passed not one sugar bush or Northern Spy apple orchard that compared to the ones in Cuyahoga County. No argument could be advanced that could ehange Grandma Rose's uetermination to go tourist. ( ' Serena Lowe, do you mean to tell me you would sit in those plush seats for four whole days? Yes, I know poor people don 't ride in Pullman cars, but I've seen many and many a person, who pre- tended to be some and yet had bed bugs. How'd I feel to be taking vermin into Nellie's house? If I'm going to California at all, it'll be riding on wicker seats." "You don't think, Grandma, how much colder they are, and the conveniences in the Pullman." "I guess, with ah the rest I have to bear, I can stand a little cold, and although my folks were as good Abolitionists as any, you don't think for an of the car. With one spring she was at his side and clutching his arm. "Oh, Martin, are you going to California?" He gasped in amazement, and nodded, while with a burst of relief she implored: ' ' Can 't we go with you ? You will look out for us a little, won't you?" And only Cupid recalled that ten years before, when Serena had bade Martin Leeds farewell, she had told him that she was perfectly persuaded that she was one of the women who could live a strong and happy life without the aid of any man. Many times during the next few days, when their com- panion had been especially kind and considerate, Grandma Rose would explain :'f(I used to know Susan B. Anthony when I was a girl, and we were good friends, but I will say there are times when a man is a help. ' ' It was the morning after a California Christmas, and Grandma Rose and her daughter were sitting under the pepper tree that shaded the garden be- tween their two houses. "It is sweet of you, Nellie, to offer to write that letter to M,rs. Rad- cliff for me. Let 's see, you might write first, that Mame Fisher and Mrs. Hart were at the picnic we had out of doors on Christmas Day. You tell her Mame is as stout as her mother ever was. And won't she be surprised to hear Mrs. Hart 's got over her asthma. ' ' "Maybe I'd better describe the place where we "We haven't mentioned the holly and mistletoe and ferns the children found for decorations." "There, I must put in a sprig of each in that box I send back. Between the oranges and flowers I have a layer of camphor leaves, green olives, euca- lyptus blossoms, pepper berries and sea-sheels. By the way, how long were those water melons and sweet potatoes the boys were telling about? About a yard, weren't they?". "Serena wrote it all down," reminded her daugh- ter. "Yes. I will have to get the paper. Do you know, Nellie, I was thinking while she was writing that she is growing more and more to look like Abigail Lowe. She was good looking, but firm." "That white sweater Charles and I gave her is very becoming, don't you think so?" "Yes. I noticed when she and Martin came back from their walk up the canon, how well the red collar and cuffs brought out her color." "Shall I tell Mrs. Radcliff about the Tourna- ment of Roses?" inquired the amanuensis. "Don't forget that. I've thought for quite a spell that Jen Radcliff thought I was getting old and childish, and I'd like to have her know that I'm going to ride in the tournament parade in a pony cart covered with poinsettias and. ivy. Tell her my dress is dark green, the same as the cash- mere I wore when I first met Hiram. ' ' "I guess she'll know your rheumatism is better."

So it was tnat, at eleven o 'clock that night, Serena and her grandmother found themselves in the Chicago depot in the vortex of a mass Of humanity, laden with all the heterogeneous colonist paraphernalia, and striving madly for' the few remaining accommodations on the excursion train. Pushed by the crowd and directed by a running brakeman, they reached the coach assigned them. Serena drew Grandma Rose up the steps and looked within. It was an old, plush-upholstered Pullman coach, pressed into service by the un- usual demand, but even to Grandma Rose's eyes this was a minor calamity, for every section overflowed with garlic-scented, posterity-loving sons of Italy. The babies cried; the women scolded; the men smoked, and all drank "Dago Red" freely. Be- tween bundles and baskets of every shape, and over every kind of superfluous clothing, Serena and Grandma Rose made their way in search of the conductor. For fifty years Grandma Rose had been a member of the church that Alexander Campbell had founded, but in spite of a thorough immersion in the Chagrin River, she still had a little carnal nature, and the Temarks that she made to Serena during that in- terminable wait for the conductor were proof of it. At the end of forty minutes she collapsed onto Bier suit case and began to sob: "The Lord is dealing with me the way He did with Samuel. He is punishing me in my old age for bringing up a disobedient and ungrateful child." The tears ran down Serena 's cheeks, and in bitterness of soul she was bemoaning her Lowe de- termination, when a man appeared, in the doorway ate dinner," suggested her daughter. "It was about four miles up the canon, wasn't it?" I never saw a prettier place for spreading the table. The white sand around the pool at the foot of that big rock was ideal." ' ' And clean, too. ' ' "I won't ever forget how Serena looked as she gazed at the mountains and said that not all the Christmas sermons were found in churches." "That was a sweet thing Martin quoted. Some- thing about, 'Thine ancient temples, Lord, that move our hearts to praise. ' Seems as if it used to be in our old Kidd's 'Elocution,' " mused Grand- ma Rose. "Shall I say what we had for dinner?" asked the writer. "Oh, yes, and tell her we kept the chicken pie hot by wrapping it in blankets as soon as we took it from the oven. That makes me think, I must send her a fireless cooker circular. ' ' "Was there anything else besides creamed pota- toes, peas, celery, olives and " "You're leaving out the strawberries. I went out and picked them Christmas morning, as soon as I'd seen the children's presents, just so I could write to her about it. ' ' "Oh, yes. The next course was ice cream and cake. ' "You might say we used her pie crust recipe in making the mince and pumpkin pies." "I suppose she'll know about the coffee, fruit and candy." "Nellie, did you ever think Martin Leeds was a little extravagant? That box of candy he gave Serena must have cost him a pretty penny, and we didn't need it at all." "Don't write that I'm wearing my white tea jackets. She would say I'm tempting Providence." "There isn't anything else is there, mother?" "Nothing but the Crimson Rambler. I never told you, but I brought along my old vine. The day we got here, Serena planted it beside the heliotrope. We might go and see how its doing." "It looks as if it were going to start. I shouldn't be surprised if it did splendidly." "I guess it will, if it isn't too old," answered Grandma Rose. "Don't you know, mother," exclaimed her daugh- ter tenuerly, "that transplanting to California is the best thing in the wona for old roses?" Colusa Native Son Passes Away. William Caswell Spaulding, an active and well- liked member of Colusa Parlor, No. 69, N.S.G.W., passed away in Colusa, October 31st. He was a native of Colusa, aged 3S years, and practically all his life was spent in his native city, where he made many friends. In addition to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Spaulding, and two sisters, deceased is survived by a widow and two daugh- ters, Anna Pearl and Willie M-ay Spaulding. Colusa Parlor of Native Sons conducted the last sad rites at the grave. Wiseacres advise us that there is always room at the top, and the average man when he comes to fifty is apt to find that there is room at the top for more hair than he has. Farmers believe so thoroughly in the gospel of work that they even work their butter; and, like all else, it is the better for being worked. December THE GRIZZLY BEAR Important Happenings in California Fifty Years Ago (BY THOMAS R. JONES.) HBISTMAS DAY IN I860 ''AMI*: on Tuesday and was as disagree able as weather conditions could make it. A tempest of hurricane, rain and snow commenced the af- ternoon of Christmas Eve and con- tinued Pot two «lavs. Reports from all parts of the State showed that all out-door festivities wore aban- doned and, while services in the churches were fairly well attended, the attendance in the well warmed and lighted saloons was crushing. In the cities, especially, the increased number of men under the influence of liquor -was very noticeable and a sub- ject of newspaper comment. The month, as well as the winter, had been very pleasanl until the 15th, when clouds began to gather ami a mild rain storm set in. which broke loose into a tempest on the 18th. and continued until the 22nd. Streams had higher water than at any time since 1852. Then followed the heavy storm of ChristmaB Day. and a long list, of casu- alties from drowning, and destruction of property by the flood came in its wake. Mining flumes, ditches and other property, to the estimated value of $75,000, went uown with the torrents of Trinity County and every mining county in the State suffered correspondingly. Marysville experienced severe damage to its bus- iness section from wind and water, but this was a small inundation compared to what was to fol- low later in the way of floods. Snow fell on the Sierra Nevada mountains and foot hill regions to a record-breaking depth. The theater at North San Juan had its roof crushed in by the snow that fell upon it. Many Job Chasers. The four Kepublican Presidential electors that had been elected on the 6th of November met in Sacramento on December 5th and voted for Abra- ham Lincoln for President and Hannibal Hamlin for Vice President. Each elector desired to be the messenger to carry the vote to Washington, and a number of ballots had to be taken to decide who would give way. Wm. H. Weeks, by persistently voting for himself, finally was enabled to get the prize, ami departed by steamer on December 11th. He carried a trunk full of recommendations from nearly every ambitious Republican in the State who was after a Federal office, the change in ad- ministration being expected to remove every Dem- ocrat and install a Kepublican in his place. While the political excitement in California had nearly subsided, and the population had in the main acquiesced in the result, it was rumored that secret meetings were being held by those who looked forward to a secession movement and de- sired to create a Pacific Republic. The news from the East was ominous of trouble. Specie payment hail been stopped by the banks, business was in a panicky state, and the secession fever was becom- ing more malignant every day. The prevailing Union sentiment in California precluded any suc- cessful secession movement here, and the poli- ticians became interested spectators of events in the East rather than active participants therein. The election of a United States Senator by the next California Legislature became a topic of dis- cussion, but as neither political party had a ma- jority of the members-elect, what combinations would be made was a fruitful subject of gossip, without making any choice discernible. Mining Towns Deserted. On December 3rd an election of chief engineer of the fire department of San Francisco took place. It excited as much interest there as a presidential election. David Scannell was elected and his friends in Sacramento fired a salute celebrating the event. The water war in Tuolumne County was still on. The Tuolumne County Water Co. was the principal sufferer, through having an immense flume blown up by miners antagonistic to it. Many men were thrown out of employment besides the miners who were idle through lack of water to work their mines. This had affected merchants, teamsters, sawmill men and almost every line of industry, and the editor of a Sonoma paper, commenting on the condition of affairs, stated that many of the towns reminded a person forcibly of Goldsmith's "De- serted Village.'' The streets were without a sign of life, except when a lean and hungry hog or a yelping cur appeared. At times some disconsolate looking storekeeper or saloonkeeper dragged his weary length to the door of his place and looked wistfully up and down the street for a customer. A fearful silence ruled over gulch, creek and can- yon. Hushed were the voices of the miners, the music of rushing wain--, the click of the shovel, and tin- thud of the pick. There appeared to lie :ii Ihis time very little probability of improving condi t ions for several monl lis. A shell mound was found :il I eighl miles from Healdsburg and a half-mile from the Russian B - i l! was about 300 feet higher than the river, and the shells lay in stratas about two feet in thick n ess with a layer of si -a sand of abOUl the same width alternating for some distance down. Gas Came High in Marysville. High living was a subject of discussion then, as it is now. The San Francisco Monitor expressed its opinion upon the unsatisfactory condition of things as follows: "Particularizing the extrava- gance of our times in California, it must be ad- mitted that too much money is lavished on dress, balls, amusements and living. Silks and velvets form a heavy item in the list of our invoices, and as a consequence a portion of our population is habited in finery beyond their means and their ability to pay for. C. Copp and E. Gay of Dutch Flat began the preliminary work of flaming Bear River for a distance of fifteen miles, in order to work tailings from the hydraulic mines of that section. A turnpike company was organized to build a wagon road from Dutch Flat to Virginia City. The business men of Marysville formed an organ- ization to force the gas company to reduce its price. They signed an agreement not to burn gas until the price was reduced to $9.50 per 1000 feet. The gas company proposed to compromise on $10 per 1000 feet, but the business men did not appear to be delighted. The copper mines developed near Knights Ferry were shipping ore to Baltimore for smelting. There was big excitement over the discovery of an auriferous gravel channel in Chili Gulch, near Mokelumne Hill. The channel averaged a depth of seventy five feet below the surface, and was found by sinking shafts or tunneling for it. Six dollars to the pan was reported to be the average yield, and over 200 miners had located claims for a distance of nearly three miles along the gulch. A Ift'rge number of these found fortunes in their locations. Big Gold Finds Continued. Washoe was as prominent in the public eye as heretofore. One hundred and fifty feet of the Gould and Curry claim sold for $60,000, or at the valuation of $4000 a foot. A Grass Valley company made an ore strike on the Comstock Lode that sent the value of their claim from zero to $1000 a foot in twenty-four hours. Twenty quartz mills had been built in the dis-. trict during the year, all of which were pounding on the ore being dug from the Lode. Two miners working a claim at Dutch Flat took out $918 in a nine-days' run, hydraulicking. At La Porte, four mining companies cleaned up, in a seven-days* washing, $843S. Hughes and Co., at Oak Flat, Butte County, struck a strata of gravel .three and one-half feet thick, that was yielding one dollar to the pan and was of unknown extent. ^ Robert Kelly, at Timbuctoo, took out of his sluices $12,500 in gold dust in a twelve-days' run. A nugget weighing two pounds was found on Dog Creek, Shasta Countv, bv a miner named O'Niel. Five companies mining at North San Juan took out in one week during December, $19,800 in gold dust . The Pittsburg claim at Potosi, Sierra County. cleaned up $1160 in one day's washing. On Buena Vista Flat, Stanislaus County, Hough- ton and Devlin took out $850 in ten days. During the year 1860 the value of gold dust de- posited in the San Francisco mint was $11,219,500, and silver bullion $352,939. A suspension bridge over the Mokelumne River at Athearn 's ferry, 315 feet in length, was com- pleted during the month. School Census a Half -Century Back. A Los Angeles County school census showed 11S6 boys and 1167 girls between 4 and IS years of age, and under 4 years there was a total of 688; 2396 were born in California. A school census of San .lose showed 704 children between 4 and 18 years of age, and 334 under 4 years of age; 635 were born in California. The school census of Sacra- mento showed 3960 children between 4 and IS years of age, and 2001 under the age of 4. During the year a record kept of the emigrants passing the Honey Lake gatewey into the Sacra- mento Valley showed 450 wagons containing 277 families. There were with them 135 young women of a ma i ria-.M 1,1. ■ :,■;; hildren, LTld B total of L951 i pie.'

The inhabi- tanl i well as the gulls and pelicans, were hav- ing a Jish fest. Three hundred sacks of sweet potatoes were im- ported from Japan by a San Francisco firm, to be used for seed purposes. John Reynolds, a blacksmith at Nevada City, while busy at his forge, had the seat of his trousers ii ii tire by a spark. It was not noticed until the blaze had become too large to extinguish and before the pants could be removed, he was so seriously burned as to necessitate his removal to a hospital with a probability that he would be crippled for life. An Indian working on a ranch near Santa Cruz was bitten on the finger by a tarantula. lie used the Indian remedy for such poisoning, and ate the tarantula. He is said to have recovered. A man named Kenley was seriously injured in a fight with a grizzly bear near Sebastopol, Sonoma County. A grizzly was killed on Pine Creek, in Tehama County, by E. E. Tuber. The steam tug Diana exploded its boiler in San Francisco Bay, December 21st, and killed two men. Crime Keeps Pace With Progress. A miner at Central Hill, Calaveras County, eloped with another miner's wife, who was the mother of seven children. She took three children with her and began housekeeping with her paramour a few miles from her husband's home. On December 20th the woman 's lover was found dead upon a trail leading from his cabin to his mine. Seven bullets had been fired into his breast within a space the size of a man's hand. The husband was arrested, but a coroner's jury exonerated him in quick time and he was never prosecuted. A large number of highway robberies and burglaries were reported from different sections of the State, but only a few were of importance. A miner named McKee Kaney was stopped by six highwaymen on the road near Mokelumne Hill on December 10th and robbed of $700. T. J. Smith, enroute from Carson Valley, was met by three highwaymen on the night of December 16th, about two miles from Placerville, and robbed of $6300 he was carrying in a sack on his person. A. J. King, a money lender in San Francisco, had his office burglarized and $10,000 in pledges and securities taken. He took the matter quite philo- sophically, stating the loss would fall on his credi- tors, as he would be unable to pay his indebted- ness to them. Dr. J. P. Wierzbicki, author of the first book printed in California, died in San Francisco Decern ber 26th. Ex-Governor J. B. "Weller was appointed by Presi- dent Buchanan, Minister to Mexico. It cost $57 to send his credentials from Washington by mail and pony express. Many Divorces Then, as Now. During 1860 there were eighty-five actions for divorce taken in San Francisco, sixty-four of which were commenced by the wives. There were fifty- seven divorces granted during the year. In the eleven months ending November 30th there arriveVl bv sea in San Francisco 28,715 passengers, and departed 13,398, being a gain of 15,317 for the State. A fire in Marysville on December 23rd destroyed the stables of James Curry, twenty-two horses being cremated and a loss of $15,000 ensuing. The Pioneer flour mill at Sacramento burned December 22nd with a heavy loss. This mill had the honor of a pioneer, in having ground wheat that cost twelve cents a pound and produced flour that sold for $40 a barrel. A foot race that was to have taken place on December 25th at San Jose, for $5000 a side, was run on December 27th. It was at a distance of 100 yards, between a Mexica-n named Seloya and an American named Forbes. The latter was beaten about ten feet and the Mexican population, who backed Seloya as loyally as they did on September 18th, reaped another harvest, but not as great as the previous one. Seloya appears to have been the t foot racer of the time, and the amount of the stakes were always in the thousands when he contested. THE GRIZZLY BEAR De California's Industrial Success In the Keeping of Californians (BY F. C. PARKER, PRESIDENT HOME INDUSTRY LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA.) 1 . 31 S TRULY AS THE COMPLETE re- building of San Francisco depends upon its commercial activity and "get together" spirit, so truly does the State's development for a more substantial economic basis depend upon a rehabilitation of its one-time numerous manufacturing and pro- ducing industries by a stimulated patronage of them. By this means, and only by this means, can we hope to see in the near future the possible development of California manufacturing and producing industries. And only in illustrating what Californians can do to help develop their own State by a greater recognition of "made in Cali- fornia ' ' goods, can we expect to improve the general business conditions; to attract a greater population to till the soil, as well as those who in- vest for manufacturing that means so mueh to the greater growth and purchasing power of our cqm- munity. Every native son and daughter, and others whose interests are in common, must awake to the realization of what California has lost in her manufacturing industries — and is continuing to lose more and more in her great producing in- dustries— largely because of that inattention to and lack of purchasing of, the goods that are pro- duced here. This is manifested in the great and sad loss of our manufacturing in the vicinity of San Francisco Bay since 1904. Such being the re- sult, then we are not advancing; we are retrogress- ing. Every day we hear how the East is supplying construction materials for our great public build- ings. The situation is appalling — these facts have been repeated before in these pages, but cannot be re-, peated too often to bring us to the truth of con- ditions as they exist, and the quickest way of remedying them. This the Home industry League is endeavoring to do, in the education of the peo- ple to buy California products. California 's market has narrowed considerably by loss of manufacturing around San Francisco Bay — business that will take years to recover — and as a result the depressing effect is hurting the entire State. Our volume of business has decreased in- stead of increased — not only the manufacturers and producers are suffering, but the retailers, the wholesalers and the Eastern manufacturers' agents us well. As a consequence of their poor business conditions, the consumer is getting the worst of it and is charged exorbitant prices to meet this forced uneconomic principle of the high cost of living. All this for the reason that the retailer, above everything else, does not carry California- made goods; the wholesaler does not, and the peo- ple of our State have not been taught, nor do they see. the economic neeessitv o- asking for them. The Eastern manufacturer's agent is taking the most of the business, and toe money as well, to some other state to develop; while even he, if there were a greater demand for California goods and an increase in the population employed to make the demand, would get more business if we in- creased that same purchasing population. If our own people, the consuming element, who are using the food products, thegarments, the household fur- nishings and the mechanical appliances that must be used in all construction and building, would demand more California-made goods, they would not only help the manufacturer and producer, but by this same demand force the retailer and the jobber to come down in their prices, which they have inflated to meet the little business they get by the scant number employed. This number repre- sents the purchasing power in the community. The tradesman and retailer must look to the immediate vicinity of his State, rather than to other coun-' tries, for his business, which necessarily should force him to see the wisdom of developing the con- ditions of business surrounding him — these same conditions being those of manufactures that lie is not patronizing, but instead, giving preference- to Eastern houses whose agents are sending money away, never to return. The interior country and tourist does help him to a great extent, but his steady income is from tne increased number of those employed in his neighborhood by manufac- turing establishments. The wholesaler, who has a larger field in which to sell his wares, in many respects is similar to the manufacturer, in regard to lack of patronage. In most cases the retailer goes right over his head and buys in the East, whereas if we could, which we are endeavoring to do, get the consumer to ask for California-made goods from the retailer, and the retailer to ask for California articles from the jobber or wholesaler, the manufacturing and producing industries would be benefitted and the money would re-circulate for the good of all. In fact, no business enterprise within the State would fail to receive benefits. As a result of the demoralization caused by the great fire, the market area of San Francisco and adjacent territory has contracted to an appreciable extent. This would not affect us badly, if it had driven business to other parts of the State, but the business has gone East and elsewhere. This natu- rally makes new conditions to meet, which are brought about in trying to regain what we have lost. As much as we must regret the fact, the State of California is not self-supporting, and until it is so, which can only be brought about successfully by a patronage for home products — to help develop the manufacturers and producers that are here and make a demand for more — we cannot hope to be a healthy and prosperous community. Our own State people, who are depending on the success of California for their own success, must make or create a demand for the goods that are made here and thereby develop their own means to a successful end. By the purchasing of, and the continual asking for, California-made products, the State becomes self- supporting. Do this by practically illustrating that our own goods are the BEST MADE — the best to be had— BECAUSE WE USE THEM. We must not overlook the fact that our success, and California's success, depends upon California's support. This has been quite evident in the suc- cess achieved by our sister city, Los Angeles. It is the people of that city who have paved the way in California for a campaign of co-operative interest, and it has developed them from a scant 100,000 ten years ago to a thickly populated, pro- gressive and home industrial city of over 300,000 at the present time. Nor in this particular case should we cease in our efforts to become inde- pendent as a State of thriving manufacturing in- dustries; for in this independence we cease to de- pend upon others who perhaps have been neces- sary at one time, but who are now depending upon us at this time for their support. This burden of support or maintenance of Eastern manufacturers' agents, who are taking the bread from our mouths and sending it to Eastern states, is the evil that we must counteract — not by exclusion of these agencies, but by a protection and preservation of our home industries in specifying California pro ducts. It must be apparent to every one of us that, to grow rich, the State must utilize her own resources, and develop those industries that are dependent upon us for our support. In the utilization of these industries we find work is provided an increased population, new trades crop up and new profes- sions and building developed to maintain them; economically bringing the good that is so neces- sary for the development of the State that sup- ports it. In other words, "Cast your bread upon the waters. ' ' The trouble witli a great many of us — and it is the greatest evil that home industry has to contend with — is that we assume that all goods that bear a foreign label, from the East or elsewhere, must be better than our own. This naturally results in the retailer and all dealers, as well as the ultimate consumer, seeking elsewhere for those things that should be bought at home. It is not that they do this, perhaps, for the reason that they are prejudiced against California goods, . for the wholesaler or jobber who sells to the retailer has the same diffi- culty at home here in disposing of Eastern-made commodities. It is because the buyers in the re- tail establishments are continually specifying Eastern-made goods and buying the same direct for the personal benefits that come to them — which all goes to show, iu the continued education of the people to buy California-made products, that we must harp on 'that one subject— BUY AT HOME. These reiterations may be history to many, but it cannot be repeated too many times to emphasize the absolute necessity of the Home Industry cam- paign. It is also mentioned to illustrate that the campaign has survived many discouraging features that have been met with in its success up to date, and has not been as short-lived as many at the beginning believed it would be — and also to em- phasize what persistency will accomplish if applied along logical, economic lines. j.he Home Industry campaign has had such oreat commercial results, moral as well as financial, in improving many lines of business, that there is no longer any doubt that its logical following out will ultimately improve all business conditions. Many in business, corpora- tions and property owners, that have not perhaps felt the home patronage result in its direct value, do not realize what a home industry campaign will do until \t is tried out. Those who have kept in touch with Home Industry progress, and the bene lie a I effect that it has had on general business conditions, and taken advantage of its influence to improve financial conditions by the circulation of more money in the home market, have been helped very materially. What the future has in prospect for Home Indus- try, and for those that patronize our various in- dustries, is not as vague and speculative as many assume it to be. Those skeptics who cry "theory," are influenced by Eastern manufacturers' solicita tion. Visionary as the educational methods that have been used in the campaign for Home Industry may have appeared to the shopkeeper and all those that have not been directly affected by its great benefits, the economic wisdom shown in facts and figures comparing the past with the present, in spite of our great decrease in manufacturing — which would have been even worse but for the Home In- dustry movement — has proven already that the movement is of real substantial benefit in dollars and cents. In the realization that Home Industry needs a co-operative movement, as well as individual effort, every one in business or out of it — even the school children and their mothers — must not wait to be shown the benefits to be derived from the pa- tronage of home products. As a result of our efforts up to this time, the Eastern manufacturing agents who send so much money that will never return out of the State for commodities, are becoming more active than ever in anticipation of our efforts 'in organizing throughout the State. In the in- fluence that the Native Sons and Native Daughters wield for the betterment of our home industries, will come the co-operation and education that will prove the salvation for all tb.ngs made in Cali- fornia. If in the buying of home products you find any that will say that Home Industry theoretically is all right, but in a practical way it cannot be carried out for the very reason that people will buy articles that look best to them, you will find it" is because these articles have been advertised perhaps more than our local product. If your grocer or the tradesman in any line insists on selling you Eastern-made products, be sure that it is because he has been educated and influenced to sell them in preference to California goods. It is not because California goods have been tried and found want- ing-^ t is because you have not been given the opportunity to try them. This you can only over- come by insisting on having California-made products. This may appear as if our own manu- facturers should be criticised for having failed to advertise their commodities, but in the develop- ment of our younger industries on this coast, the name of a commodity is not old enough perhaps to have become the by-word that many of the Eastern commodities have attained. There are many obvious reasons why California manufacturers cannot advertise as extensively as Eastern manu- facturers. (Continued on Page 28, Column 1.)

CALIFORNIA IN WINTER.

The tuneful stream melodious glides along, A slender vein in our delightful land. Each green-ciad tree is vocal with the song Of vari-colored birds. The artist hand Of nature well had limned the Sunset West, And limned it. proclaimed it glorious, best. The hills around in August splendor stand. Bright bathed in beauty and in magic light — Storm sentinels that shield us from the blight Of storm-filled winds that rack the distant land Beyond the snow-lov'd Rockies. And the air Is redolent with perfume of the flowers, That bloom perennial in this Eden fair, With horses as with married folks, it is desirable Where oft' the heavens laugh in gentle showers. that when hitched they stay hitched. Dear favored land! Thou art the brightest, best, The garden spot of earth — our own loved West. And it is winter, and the yule-tide too! While in the East the mad-cap storm kings rage. And with the land in fourious strife engage, Here on our golden soil the zephyrs flow A welcomed breath from ocean unto hill. Sere lliekers down no flake of biting snow. Nor from our skies no peals of thunder thrill, \.i flash that oft' times hurls a mortal blow. Here all is beauty, joy — a peace sublime, And hearts pulse gladly in our yule-tide time.

After the bitter had left with the young men, Captain Vinson, who was in elmrge of the ship, offered me $3 per day t" assist him. and I accepted his offer. When my time was out. I sailed in a seventy-five ton schooner for Stockton, and we were three days making the trip. Each night we stopped on the black, foamy banks of the San Joaquin, and on every occasion, as the shades of evening approached, the cannibal mosquitoes appeared also and tattooed us free «.t' charge. No sooner had we anchored in the Stock- ton Slough, than the report of a pistol was heard, and like magic a largo crowd gathered. 1'pon in- quiry, it appeared that a man just from the mines had a dispute with a monte dealer, who shot and killed his patron. The day after our arrival in Stockton I made arrangement with a couple of teamsters to take my blankets and sack of provisions to Hawkin Bar, a mining camp on the Tuolumne River. About sundown each day the teamsters stopped over night to feed and give the cattle rest, usually near a spring, with a patch of wild oats or grass for the benefit of the cattle. Here we fried our ham, bacon and slapjaeks, and made coffee. When all was ready we sat on the ground in a circle, and while eating, each gave his experience on the way to California and since his arrival; after which some smoked their pipes or cigars, and others cigar- ettes. Smoking being over, we spread our blan- kets under the covered wagon and tried to sleep, but the thieving coyotes, or prairie wolves, were so delighted with our company that they stood on a little eminence near by and serenaded us till broad daylight. During the night they gathered the crumbs around the wagon, and on arising we found they had kindly left our frying pans and dishes scrupulously clean. "Self Rising" Patch. The first camp we made at Hawkin Bar was about 9 o 'clock on a beautiful Sunday morning. All the men in camp were busy — some barbering. others laundering, and still others tailoring. One man put a patch on the seat of his pantaloons, which he cut out of a flour sack. It read, in large blue letters: "Self Rising!" and he amused the miners by marching up and down between the tents. My object in visiting this camp was to meet some of the Floyd boys; but upon inquiry, it appeared they had gone to Jacksonville, a min- ing camp eight miles above, on the same river. Being anxious to see some familiar faces, I took my blankets that afternoon, marched up the stream, and made the camp about sundown. They were all with the captain, seated on the ground under a large live oak tree, eating their supper. On my way to Hawkin Bar I met half a dozen Floyd boys who had been in the mines about ten days, but they were on their way home. They said to me, "Doc, go back. The mines are all worked out. Everybody is packing up to go home." The day following my arrival in Jacksonville, a gentleman by the name of H. B. Hosmer, from Bal- timore, asked me if I would like to work with him, and "learn to mine and rock the cradle." I an- swered him in the affirmative, and remained with him three weeks at $9 per day. At the expiration of that time the rainy season had begun and drove him out of the river. It commenced raining at night and the river rose very fast, so that in the morning we found all the wing dams washed away, and the river was filled with floating cradles, buckets, long-toms, sluices and every description of mining utensils. Jacksonville is in Tuolumne County, at the mouth of Wood's Creek, which empties into the Tuo lumne River. The banks of the river and all the creeks, gulches and ravines were richly fringed with fine gold,, and nuggets of various sizes and (Continued on Page 11, Column 1.) THE GRIZZLY BEAR December I Editorial Conducted by Clarence M. Hunt, Managing Editor Patronize home industry, sure! But how in the name of common sense can we buy goods manu- factured in California if tlie manufacturers thereof don't let us know that they are in business? There are many California products that com- paratively few people never knew were manufac- tured in ti-is State. Can the buying public be censured for this lack of knowledge? JNot a bit. All the fault rests with the producers, who lack that enterprise which keeps their wares ever in the public's mind. Did it ever occur to you, Mr. California Manu- facturer, why eastern an^_ ioreign goods are pur- chased by Calif ornians, in preference to yours? It is not because these imported articles are superior; it is not because they can be sold cheaper; it is not because your <^oods are discriminated against. It IS because you have not taken the people into your confidence, through legitimate ad- vertising, and made known the fact tnat you are producing sueh-and-such a brand of goods. There are many eastern brands of staple goods that are in demand for the sole reason that their manufacturers, through systematic advertising, have thoroughly implanted those brands in the housewives' minds. .California manufacturers spend comparatively little in advertising, and seem to feel that the buying public will seek them out when, as a matter of fact, they should seek the buyers, through publicity, and encourage the use of their products. We honestly believe that a great proportion of our people would glaaly give preference to home products, but they have no way of knowing what is manufactured here. At the same time California manufacturers have encouraged the non-use of their own goods by giving the field of publicity entirely, or nearly so, to their eastern and foreign com- petitors. Publicity is a great factor in the business world of to-day, and until California manufacturers can be educated up to its use they cannot hope to com- pete at home, much less abroad, with those who know its value, and profit by the knowledge. It is a matter of fact that every well-advertised Cali- fornia product is largely in demand, both at home and abroad. The secret of success of our home industries lies in giving publicity to what we pro- duce. Let the producers do their part through publicity, and the buying public will do theirs in purchasing. * * » The people of California are to be congratulated upon the handsome vote given the constitutional amendments to promote the proposed Panama- Pacific Exposition in San Francisco in 1915. When the Congress is advised that nearly every voter in California endorsed, by his favorable vote on these amendments, the movement to hold the fair in the city by the Golden Gate, there should be no hesitancy on the part of the members of that Con- gress in awarding the prize to San Francisco. The success of these amendments is a long step in the right direction, but the path to final victory has not yet been completely trodden and the ob- stacles removed. This latest victory should but spur us on to more united and enthusiastic action. Every citizen of California should, before the assembling of Congress, make it his business to get in touch with as many members of Congress as possible, and endeavor to enlist their support in behalf of San Francisco for the Exposition City. If everybody will assist, every Congressman can be reached. The proposed Exposition will be a great factor in the upbuilding of the entire State. It will bring to California thousands of people who will not re- turn to their distant homes until they have seen all the glories and natural advantages of this most- talked-of State in the American Nation. What will result? They will appreciate and take ad- vantage of the wonderful opportunities here pre- sented, become one of us, and aid in the develop- ment of our unlimited resources. Let everybody boost for the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, for everybody will be benefitted thereby. This is not a San Francisco enterprise — it is Californian, and therefore should merit the support of every good citizen of the State. San Francisco is simply doing her part of Christmas Day — Its Real Significance Overlooked in Present-day Observance There is no holiday so universally observed as that of Christmas. And, at the same time, there is undoubtedly no festive occasion in which the true significance of the day is so generally overlooked and wholly ignored. Christmas is, as we all know, the festival of Christ's nativity, yet in its ob- servance we too often give little heed to the One in whose honor the day is celebrated, and our thoughts are directed largely to our own selfish interests and pleasures. In these days of splendor-worship, Christmas has become the occasion for men to vie with their brothers in the giving of costly and extravagant presents to those who are near and dear to them, and in a majority of cases the recipient is in no need of the gifts bestowed, and they therefore serve no good purpose, other than to temporarily please and satisiy a taste for finery. Ordinarily, the birthday anniversary of a mem- ber of a family is the occasion for presenting him with little remembrances of love and affection. How many of us on Christmas, the anniversary of the birth of Christ, the Son of the Head and Fount of the universal family, make gifts to Him — or to our poor, unfortunate brothers, in appreciation of His love and beneficence? If we would consistently observe Christmas, our time and our money would be entirely devoted — on this one day in the year, at least — to hunting out those children of God who are in want and, in the Father's name, help to alleviate their sufferings. For Christ himself, in honor of whose birth Christmas is observed, has said: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." The ways of the Lord are inexplicable, and it is not for us to believe other than whatever is, is for the best. We, in our blindness, cannot see the wisdom in many things, and what often seems to us a curse is, in reality, a blessing in disguise. This we do know, that the poor and needy are always with us. Why God, in the fullness of His mercy, permits any of His children to suffer in the midst of plenty, is beyond human comprehension, but we must believe that He doeth all things for the best. It may be that, in withholding His blessings from the few, He wishes to test the many's appreciation of His goodness. Christmas cannot, in any true sense of its mean- ing, be construed as an occasion for giving to those who already have plenty. Its real observance must of necessity come from the giving, by those who have plenty, to those who have little, or nothing. But, instead of being a day upon which the poor and unfortunate are made happy — and made to know that there is a just God above — Christmas has be- come a day upon which the poor are made more fully to realize their misfortune. The fortunate be- lieve in God's justness because they have plenty. Should we not, therefore, on Christmas, share our plenty with the unfortunate, in order that there may be established in the hearts of the poor a realization that there is a just God above Who watches over all? We all enjoy receiving gifts, and no doubt we all "enjoy giving. But iu our giving to the poor and unfortunate, we generally present them with that which remains after our own pleasures have been satisfied. God has said- that it is better to give than to receive. And so it is, for what we, in our plenty, receive, gives us but temporary single pleasure; what we give to the needy in their distress pro- duces a lasting two-fold pleasure — it pleases the giver to know that he has done something for the unfortunate, and pleases the recipient to have his needs supplied. Christmas belongs to Christ, and is observed be- cause of His birth. It is not a day of human creation, such as our national holiday and other festive occasions. But we, in this day, have placed it in the category of hunuu events, not by word, perhaps, but by the manner in which we observe it. Had not Christ been born on December 25th, that day would have no special significance, for it is the event — the birth of Christ — not the day itself, that has made that day a world-observed holiday. Had Christ beeu born on any other day of the year, that day naturally would be Christmas, and would be observed in the same manner in which we now observe December 25th. Therefore, Christ- mas is a part of God himself, and should be de- voted to the doing of those things which pertain to Him. We have 364 days in each year that, through God's grace, belong to us, and are at our own disposal to do with as it is given us to see the necessity of our doing. One day, however, has been set aside as belonging exclusively to God, and ou it we should pay homage to the Creator of the Universe and do those things alone which shall find favor in His sight. If th'e millions of dollars annually expended at Christmas time for the temporary pleasure of the fortunate were collected in one immense pile, and disbursed for the benefit of the unfortunate, we would then be doing something in true observance of the birthday of the Son of God — the Father of the fortunate and unfortunante alike. But until we can get over the notion that Christmas is the occasion for our sacrificing all other interests, in order to make glad the hearts of our fortunate brothers, we are not really observing Christ's birthday, but in reality putting the pleasure and gratification of our worldly friends above the pleas- ure and gratification of Him whose birthday we pretend to honor. the great work; let every other section of the State follow San Francisco 's example, and do its share. * * * As proof positive that one extreme does follow another, look at the cart-wheel hat and the hobble skirt of to-day's feminine fashions. * * * See that the "Made in California" label is on that which you purchase. By so doing you will be assisting in the development of the State's great resources. * # # The word "Theodore" appears to have been a decided hoodoo in November. Looks like a case of too much "Theodore" for the people, and too few people for "Theodore." * * # The day of turning over a new leaf will soon be here. And twenty-four hours later, many will forget their good resolutions and turn back to the same old page in the book of life. * * * The meat packers are adding insult to injury, at this holiday season, by announcing a drop in hog prices. Who in the world is worrying about pig-meat now? It's turkey we want, and turkey- meat is going skyward in price! # * * "Christmas comes but one a year," is a favorite saying. And a great many, when balancing their accounts at the close of the year, are inclined to the belief that, if we are to continue our present extravagant gift-buying observance of the day, it should come not oftener than once in ten years. On page nine of the November issue of this mag- azine appeared a political card of Theodore A. Bell, above which, through an error in making up the pages, the line "advertisement ' ' was omitted. While the make-up of the publication indicated clearly that the card was a paid advertisement, there were some who believed the magazine was advocating Mr. Bell's candidacy. This is a de- cidedly wrong impression. The Grizzly Bear took up the cause of neither gubernatorial candidate, but did sell advertising space in its columns to all candidates. Mr. Bell bought the space given him, and it was • only through an unintentional oversight that, above the space, the words "Paid Advertisement" were omitted.

HILLIP RANDALL IMPROVED rapidly, and Kathryu Dene con- tinued to do bis letter writing. He and the amateur photographer, who was also a Californian, became great friends. Late one afternoon Kathryn came out on the wide side porch -of the hotel with a portable writing desk and a fountain pen in her hand. She was trying to write the written message to Kenneth Beresford. She took an envelope and directed it to him at Bakersfield, where he was staying, superintending his oil interests. She started the letter several times, but her courage failed her. In the society columns of the morning paper an item had caught her eye. It was to the effect that a Miss Searls, a charming young woman from Boston, was the guest at the Beresford country home at Burlingame, and that young Beresford, his mother and their gnest, were to motor through Southern California. She also read where Ralph Beresford, the brother of Kenneth, had sailed for Honolulu, and Kathryn naturally supposed that Kenneth was with his mother and their young lady guest. A jealous pang shot through the girl's heart. What if Kenneth had forgotten her! There were other girls fairer and sweeter than she, thought Kathryn. A fear clutched at her heart and her courage failed her — she was afraid to write the message. Presently she laid her head on the bal- cony rail and let the •unbidden tears flow. .Finally she dried her eyes and stole softly out toward the sea captain's garden, not noticing that the addressed envelope had fallen out of the writing folio. Phillip Randall, sitting in front of his friend's cottage, saw this envelope fall, and later on picked it up and found that it was addressed to Kenneth Beresford, Bakersfield. He gave a low whistle of astonishment and slipped the empty envelope into his pocket. He now remembered that the lovely color had surged to the girPs cheeks and spread over the white brow and throat when he had spoken warmly in Kenneth Beresford 's praise. The next day the amateur photographer developed and finished the pictures he had taken at San M|ignel Mission, and among them was the picture of Kathryn Dene in the "Wishing Chair." "I secured that picture without the young lady knowing she had been photographed," said he. Both men gazed admiringly at the charming pic- ture of the girl in the old carved chair. As a member of El Camino Real Association, Phillip Randall had been an earnest student of the mission history, and the legends of the old missions were familiar to him, especially those of the "Wishing Chairs." Another low whistle of astonishment issued from his lips. That night he wrote to Kenneth Beresford as follows: "Kind Friend: You will have to make put this scrawl the best you can. I received the telegram (which I answered) about the deal going through. Through your thoughtfulness and careful invest- ment of my little capital you have put me on my feet financially and El Paso Del Robles is put- ting me on my feet literally. I am to use crutches tomorrow and am on the road to a sure recovery. My wife and babes come down tomorrow and I rent a cottage for two months. This is all pre- amble, the important items come now. "Among the guests at this hotel is a prominent past grand president of the Native Daughters, and with her is a dark-eyed, golden-haired young lady, also a Native Daughter. With gentle laughter, kinu words of encouragement and thoughtful atten- tions, they have been a wonderful help to me, the young lady doing all my writing when I could not move my fingers. "Now for item one: The young lady was writ- ing to you at my dictation one morning, and when I spoke in your praise, her cheeks flushed becom- ingly. Item two: One evening, or rather late afternoon, the young lady came out on the hotel porch in a secluded part, with writing folio and pen. She apparently addressed an envelope, then sat motionless for a time, and finally gave way to quiet tears. On leaving, unnoticed by her, she dropped the envelope. I picked it up later. It was addressed to you, at Bakersfield. There was no letter inside. I enclose the said envelope to you. Item three: At the San Miguel Mission this Romance and Reality in Serial Form (BY ANNIE L. ADAIR.) snapshot picture, which I enclose, was secured by the photographer without the young lady being aware. As a member of El Camino Real Associa- tion, you have read the legend of the famous lover's 'Wishing Chair' of San Miguel, namely, that he who sits within it wishes for only one thing, the winning of the sweetheart of his choice. "Piecing these together, can you make anything out of them? Does it portend anything to you? If so, you had better hit the pike for Paso Robles. Lo hace sin tardanza. If not, please kindly return the picture, as the young lady is yet unaware of its existence. My rheumatic fingers have gone on a strike. Your friend, Phillip Randall." CHAPTER VIII. The Lover Suddenly Appears. The next day but one an automobile drove up at the hotel at Paso Robles, and a tall youug man, with honest gray eyes, stepped out and the porter took his grip. "Hallo, Beresford! What good luck brings you here. My, it is good to see you, ' ' said the manager. The two had been college chums. "What was the magnet that drew you hither?" There was a look of nervous expectancy about Beresford that did not escape the keen eyes of his friend, the manager. He sat dcwn, chatted, and waited. Presently a tall, slender girl, dressed all in white, appeared on the stairway, and as she descended the stairs happened to glance at the office desk, and in a voice which was a mixture of surprise, joy, longing, and love, involuntarily exclaimed: "Oh, Kenneth! Kenneth!" With a bound the tall young- man was half-way up the stairway and had grasped the extended hands of the girl. All the tender yearning of his heart leaped to his eyes, and with it such devotion, such reverence, that the girl 's eyes filled with happy tears as he softly murmured: "Kathryu, my own little girl; my darling! My de- light!" His voice was unsteady, not yet his own. Her added loveliness startled him. He had sup posed he realized it, but her superb bright beauty bewildered him. Separation and longing added a strange new radiancy to her beauty. "Ah, so that is the magnet that drew him hither; No wonder he cheerfully swallowed dust and hit the pike for Paso Robles. Efface yourself, Otto," murmured the manager to himself, as he discreetly retired to the inner office. Always quick to recover herself, Kathryn glanced around the office. No one was in sight, and only the tick, tick of the office clock broke the stillness. "Oh, Kenneth, I am so glad," murmured the girl nappily. "Love is everything — I know now." "Kathryn, please take me some place where 1 can have you to myself for a while." "Come, I will take you to the captain's garden, where we can have a happy hour to ourselves before dinner. " So they stole down the stairs, out onto the wide porch, and into the path that led to the beautiful gardens. Never a word did they utter, but the man kept the girl 's slender white hand in his. What cared he who saw? He didn'fdare let the hand go. '•It is good to have you back again beside me," murmured the girl, as they entered the garden. "I wonder if you realize what it means to me?" softly said the man. They entered the garden and walked between rows of geraniums, dahlias, sweet scented phlox and roses, and the girl murmured: "Isn't it beauti- ful?" ' ' Beautiful, indeed; ' ' said the man, not gazing at the flowers, but at the exquisite face of the girl at his side. They stood under a tree near the fountain, in the waters of which swam numerous gold fish. Kenneth turned to Kathryn and said: "Now give me again the right to your heart and lips." He drew her suddenly into his arms; she lifted her face to his; he kissed her, and she gave her heart again into his keeping. She looked up into his steady eyes, and a wave of tenderness overwhelmed her, and her arms tightened around his neck. "My darling," he whispered. "You are my girl, whom I have loved all my life. My little comrade, Kathryn. You never have, never could, love any other man. Say it — I know it. — but say it, sweet- heart. ' ' "Only you, Kenneth! Of course, I love you. You are mine; you always were mine. I -might have known nobody else could ever have had you, nu matter if I were estranged from you. And nobody but you could ever have had me. Oh, you darling, she said, drawing his cheek close to hers." , ears dried, unshed, in her dark eyes, as she whis- pered: "Kenneth, dear, I am so happy. I don't think I know just exactly what I am whispering." He looked the picture of brave, young manhood, blessed with the sweetest knowledge that earth can give, as he drew the solitaire diamond from his pocket and placed it again on the third finger of her left hand. They walked to the entrance of the tunnel, con- necting the lower and the upper gardens. "The captain although' a bachelor had excellent ideas. "Isn't this an ideal garden for lovers," said the girl. "Now I will take you to the upper garden, and we can sit in tne observatory, built around a huge oak." CHAPTER IX. The Mystery Solved. As they emerged from the tunnel, over the top of which was a street, the scent of flowers again gretted them. They walked to the tree observa- tory, climbed the stairway, and seated themselves on a rustic bench — the girl to gaze on the panoramic view of El Paso Robles, and the man to gaze on the girl. A troubled look was on Kathryn 's face as presently she said: "Kenneth, dear, I did not send any written message to you. How did you have the good sense to come to me? Oh, how I have longed and longed for you!" For answer, the man drew from his pocket the picture of the girl in the old "Wishing Chair" of San Miguel. Kathryn 's eyes were wide with amazement and astonishment. "Why, that is certainly I, myself, in the 'Wishing Chair* at San Miguel. But how in the name of goodness was it taken, and when? Can you enlighten me, Kenneth?" "The photographer took the snapshot without your knowledge," said Kenneth, and then he told her of the letter that Phillip Randall had written him, and what it contained. "The dear, kind, good fellow! How clever he was to piece things together. How grateful I am to him," said the girl. Presently Kenneth said: "Why didn't you write the letter, when you went so far as to direct the envelope to me?" Kathryn blushed and said: "I saw in the society columns of a newspaper that a Miss Searles, a beautiful girl from Boston, was the guest at the Beresford country home at Burlingame and that young Beresford, his mother, and their guest were to motor through Southern California. I also saw where your brother Ralph had gone to Honolulu. To tell the honest truth, I was so unhappy and jealous that I didn't dare write. I had behaved so meanly toward you, the thought came to me that there were other girls fairer than I, and sweeter. I was lonely and miserable, and I cried my eyes red. ' ' "You knew that I loved you dearesst, with all ray heart — with ail the strength of my manhood — didn't you? You know how steadfast I am. You knew that, for me, there is only one woman in the world, and that is you. You knew, you must have known, how I longed for the message," reproached Kenneth. "You see brother Ralph didn't go to Honolulu, as stated. So Ralph is escorting mother and the young lady around." * ' Oh, Kenneth ! If I had only known. How jealous I was of her. How I hated her." "Did you, sweetheart," softly and tenderly laughed the man, as he drew her close and kissed her. "Well at any rate, it is alright now. Phillip Randall acted the role of cupid for us. By the way, Kathryn, how about the plans of our home-to-be?" "Oh, I have them all ready, even to the smallest details. It is to be built old mission style," laughed Kathryn. "All right, little girl — my little patriot — I am so proud of you. Kathryn, you won't keep me wait- ing long now, will you?" pleaded the man. "I want my home and my wife," he said, putting his arm gently around her. Kathryn flushed and replied: "Indeed I won't, dear. How happy my dad- will be. He is very fond of you, and thinks you one of the finest young men in the State." December THE GRIZZLY BEAR r With Our Western Books and Writers i Burning Daylight. I, MOST l\\ \UAU.Y. WHEN THE name of Jack London is menl Loned in the presence of those who have read any of his I ks, it is "The ( 'nil of the Wild ' ' thai bee s the subject of discussion, li would seem that it is the booh by which he is best known, and perhaps to those people who love dogs it will ever be accepted as Ins strongest story. However, all people are not dog lovers, and those are the ones give to "Burning Daylight," his latest highest place. The title of the book, is also the name of the hero, whose real name was Elam llannsli. Up was given the name "Burning Daylight" because of his habit of routing his companions out of their blankets with the com- plaint that "daylight was burning." The Story lias its sotting in Alaska, in the early mining days, and most vivid is the picture of the I pie and conditions which the writer presents of t hat alluring country — a wonderful setting, truly — but the career of "Burning Daylight" is even nn.ro wonderful, for breathlessly does the reader follow his gambling game at Circle City, wherein he loses all his thousands; go with him over the long trail to carry the mail from Circle City to I 'yea, and back to see him win his bet; takes a trip with him into the rich mining country to hear him say to his companion, "Joe, I ain't never going to work hard again. Here's where I begin to use my brains. I'm going to farm gold. Gold will grow gold, if you all have the savvee and can get hold of some for seed. When I seen them seven hundred dollars in the bottom of the pan I knew 1 had the seed at last." It is but a short time after this until his claims are all sold, the last being bought by the Guggen- hammers, and when he departs for San Francisco, it is to take along with him just eleven million dollars. He remains but a short time in Ban Fran- cisco and then goes to New York, where he has been lured by the Guggenhammers and others to "I will send him a telegram immediately," said Kenneth. "Von see, Kathryn, your father and I are great chums, in spite of the difference in age. We both dearly love the same little golden-haired girl, he as father and I as lover. Every time I came up from the oil fields to San Franeiseo I went to see him in his office, and we enjoyed these chats. ' ' They left the gardens, and at the office Kenneth sent the following message to his future Native .Son father in law: "Mr, Charles Dene, San Fran- cisco— Dear Dad: The world is mine again, Ken- neth Beresf ord. ' ' In a short time the answer came: ' ' Kenneth Beresf ord, Paso Robles — My Dear Boy: Eureka! Put a fence around it this time. Charles Dene." At this juncture, Phillip Randall came up on his crutches. A look of deep affection and friendship passed between the men, and they warmly clasped hands, while a world of gratitude shown in Ken- neth Beresf ord 's eyes. What a happy time they had that evening on the hotel porch. Miss Keith, Phillip Randall, the photographer, and the man- ager, all shared the joy of Kathryn and Kenneth, for they all had had a share in rebuilding the romance. As the moonlight shone on El Paso Del Robles later in the evening, Kathryn turned to Kenneth and said: "In these last months during our estrangement I have learned so much. Before then, I was a spoiled, capricious girl. Learning to love my native land and my native State has made me a broader, better woman, although I am far from perfect yet. I have learned the true mean- ing of the beautiful lines I read in the home of Brotherhood in San Diego: " 'Love — not because one is worthy, Nor yet because one loves you; But because the greatest need of the world, Is a steadfast heart, and true; And because where sin and sorrow are rife, There the heart's best blood is due.' " "Oh, you perfect girl! You darling, and you delight!" murmured the happy man, as he folded her close to his heart. (CONDUCTED BY NETTIE S. GAINES) outer into business relations with them, Once again wonderful dramatic power is resorted to by Mr. London when lie extricates " Burning Day- light" from the clutches of these stocli brokers and places him, with all his money, in San Fran cisco f o begin anew. A man who goes iulo a big city with such an amount of money must of aecessity make many investments, and the reader follows with interest the methods resorted to by one who has amassed a fortune so quickly, it' not easily. For a long time has the reader wondered if this was to be a story without the love theme, t,u it is not until the book is well along that much of I hat nature outers into it. While "Burning Daylight" leads the life that men with money generally do, and while he is engrossed in his business deals, yet he often finds himself thinking of his pretty, womanly steno grapher, Dede Mason. Her every attitude is such as to arouse in h i m a trai n of t hough t wh ich brings out his better self, but their lives have been in very different channels. There is great temptation to tell the pretty story for, to the reviewer, this is the part of the book that is entirely worth while, but it would be an injustice to the reader to do so. He should read it for himself, thoughtfully, too. It is always interesting to follow the career of a man whose every effort in life, in a financial way, is crowned with success; but to follow the career of this same man, when the love for a good woman has gripped his heart strings, is far more interesting, for love is the greatest thing in the world after all. The Grand Canyon of Arizona. People who have visited the Grand Canyon will welcome this latest book by George Wharton James, as a reminder of the days spent there, and to one who contemplates a trip to the Canyon — and every one does — it is an invaluable book to possess. Mr. James is a nature lover and has spent many years in studying this piece of nature 's handiwork. The text is accompanied by a great number of photographs which the author has him- self taken. There is one large picture of the Grand Canyon as viewed from El Tovar, the hotel of which the author has given so graphic a description, and a map showing the railroad, as well as a long stretch of the Colorado River. There is much of historical interest presented, and a number of chapters deal most interestingly with the life and customs of the different Indian tribes that inhabit the near-by country, even to a number of Indian legends about the Canyon. The Hopi House, just opposite the El Tfovar en- trance, with its collection of Indian relics, must be an unique attraction. Were the reader contemplating a trip to the Grand Canyon, he would read most carefully, be- fore starting, this excellent guide book, and take it along for reference. One would then return from this wonderland, feeling that he had drunk deep of its beauties, having seeu everything worth while. Mark Twain's Old Home To Be Sold. Literary treasures of the late Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) are to be sold at auction in New York, and among them will be many manuscripts and documents, the contents of which have never been published. Clemens' house, Stormfield, near Redding, Conn., is to be sold, and his daughter, Mrs. Ossip Gabrilowitch, has decided to sell the bulk of the library, retaining only such books as have intimate family associations and signed volumes from living authors which were presented to her father.

Bailey Millard, one of our California writers, has just given us "The Sea Hawk,*' a tale of pearl fishing off the Lower California and Mexican coasts. Stewart Edward White's new book, "The Rules of the Game," is a man's story, dealing with a man's problem, and written by a man to other men. In the leading cities of California, at the present time, Herbert Bashford's latest play. ''The Woman He Married," is being presented to large and ap- preciative audiences. Virginia Harned takes the leading part. The publication of George Wharton James' book of biographical sketches of the Sons of the Golden State, called "Heroes of California,'' has been delayed until the latter part of November, when the volume will be issued with numerous pictures of California's noted men, past and present. "Romantic California" is the title of Ernest Peixotto's late book. He writes of "The Mission Bells," of "Two Old Spanish California Towns," of "El Camino Real — the Spanish King's High- way," and of other active survivals of the older times. He tells, too, of "Italy in California" and of "Little Journeys from San Francisco" in various directions, and of "Bret Harte's Country." Stewart Edward White, the author, and his wife sailed recently from New York, to spend a year in Equatorial Africa. Mrs. White has accompanied her novelist husband into the wilds of the Siena Mountains where, it is said, no other white woman has been, and she said she felt qualified to share his hardships and dangers in the wilds of Africa. Mr. White said his chief purpose was to study a race there which, he says, is not of the negro family, but corresponds to the American Indian. Before starting on their journey into the interior of the country, Mr. and Mrs. White will be joined by John B. Martin of Santa Barbara and R. B. Barnhart of Grand Rapids, Michigan. BIG CALIFORNIA MEETINGS. Several organizations will hold t-heir 1911 meet- ings in California cities and will attract many visitors. Perhaps the largest will be that of the International Sunday-school Association, which meets in San Francisco; there will be 2500 dele- gates and 5000 additional visitors. Other meet- ings thus far scheduled include: Western Fruit Jobbers' Association, Sacramento, February 15th- lSth; Western Retail Lumbermen's Association, San Francisco, February 20th-22nd; Electric Sup- ply Jobbers' Association, Del Monte, April 15th; the International Bible Students' Association, San Francisco, some time in July; American Ab I J Association, Los Angeles, week June 26th. One of the greatest accomplishments is to be a good listener. By letting the other man do all the talking we acquire a reputation for wisdom far above thai we may gain in any other way. 10 THE GRIZZLY BEAR December DEPARTMENT AVbdi PUBLICATION THAT HAS BEEN issued from the California State Mining Bureau and is of general and local interest, deals in detail with the remarkable development of the gold dredging industry in Cali- fornia, and takes into consideration the collateral topics of reclamation and debris. The work was compiled under the direction of State Min- eralogist Lewis A. Aubury, who, in the introduction to the bulletin, has written as follows: "The construction of the first practical gold dredge in California, in 1898, marks the beginning of a new era in gold mining, which branch of the industry has probably, since its in- ception, assumed greater proportions in this State than elsewhere. With the rapid advance made in gold dredging and the gradual increase of gold out- put, have likewise come improvements and enlarged construction, which make the California gold dredge to-day the model after which other countries pat- tern. "The gold industry of this State has received a new impetus, and the production advanced approxi- mately three and one-half million dollars above the average output of two years ago. Should other forms of gold mining maintain their average two years from now, California will probably again re- cover its rank as the leading gold producing State in the Union, and will undoubtedly maintain its lead for many years to come. "Sufficient area has already been proven in the gold dredging fields to warrant this conclusion. While it has been contended in some quarters that the limits of the dredging areas have already been fairly well defined, and that the large interests and consolidations have a large portion of the fit-Ids controlled, new companies are continually being or- ganized for the purpose of exploiting tracts which have been passed over, or others which were pros- pected a few years ago and turned down, as being too low grade to operate profitably. With the ad- vent of the modern dredge, handling 250,000 to 300,000 cubic yards of gravel per month, at a cost of from 2^4 to 3 cents per cubic yard, conditions have changed materially. The same evolution with dredge mining has occurred as with gold quartz mining in this State, and the question has resolved itself into one of capacity. The present dredge — large as it is — has apparently not reached its limit." Another important phase of the industry, that has large interests in a horticultural and industrial way is discussed by Mr. Aubury in his introductory paragraphs, which are reproduced, in part, as fol- lows: "A new factor has entered into dredging in Cal- ifornia, which adds largely to the profit of some of the companies — that is, utilizing the tailings from the dredgers. The tailings are broken in immense crusiiers and the product utilized for macadam for roads and rubble for concrete. What have been termed by some as 'unsightly piles of gravel' have been made to serve various good purposes and, at tin- same time, furnished the best class of material at a minimum cost to the consumer. "Several protests have been made in the past against permitting dredge mining. Those protests have been made without an adequate knowledge of actual conditions, it being claimed that the deb lis from the dredges was allowed to flow into the river channels, to their detriment, and the wh.de industry was consequently condemned. In- vestigation shows that in a few instances dredging was being carried on in the streams, and some damage was undoubtedly done. Outside of these instances, however, the balance of the dredgers have either operated in landlocked sections, away from the streams, or were depositing the tailings on the banks of the streams, deepening the channels and improving them. In commenting upon the claim that dredge min- ing destroys the soil, the State Mineralogist, says: Gold Dredge ut Work in Oroville, California, District. "Some complaint has also been made of the total destruction of the soil where dredgers operate. Re- garding this matter, and as will afterwards be shown in this report, but a comparatively small amount of arable land is included in that which lias been, or will be, dredged. On the other hand, reclamation projects are now under way which are being carried on by some of the dredging com- panies, which will restore to cultivation hundreds of acres of swamp or overflowed lands, and which, were it not for the enterprise of these companies, would remain waste or unproductive for years to come. These reclaimed lands will far more than offset those which some claim will be irreparably ruined. The so-called destroyed lands, which at one time were productive, had, to a large extent, been made worthless for agriculture, viticulture or hor- ticulture by their former owners, before a dredge- bucket had turned them over. The mineral ingredi- ent neeessary to plant life had been exhausted from the surface soil, and it was practically impossible for the farmers to raise a profitable crop from them. "To a certain extent, dredging these lands has reclaimed them. Trees or vines planted, since the lands were dredged, give ample evidence of the fer- tility of the ground and serve to illustrate the im- proved nature of the same. In the dreflging sec- tions lands were purchased by dredging companies for $25 per acre, and the same laud, after dredging. with its cobble piles, was sold for $100 per acre for the gravel contents. After the gravel has been re- moved, or the lands leveled, they can again be utilized, if necessary, for farming lands. "The dredging industry in California, while add- ing annually millions of dollars' worth of gold to our State's products, at the same time dispenses immense sums to the various channels of trade, and adds materially to our prosperity. It will continue to do this for at least the next decade, and as actual conditions affecting the industry become more generally known, and proper restrictions are maintained, it will be more appreciated and the ob- jections which have been raised will disappear." In the preparation of the gold dredging bulletin, a vast amount of material lias been accumulated, dealing with gold dredging in California and else- where. In the book there are 239 illustrations and a number of maps. The illustrations deal with the process of gold dredging, with geological forma- tions, and several pages are devoted to picturing eucalyptus growing on unleveled dredge tailings in the Oroville district; eucalyptus and fig trees grow- ing without irrigation on the unleveled dredge tail- ings in the same district in June, 1909; orange trees and grape vines growing on leveled dredge tailings in Oroville district; grape vines and almond trees on leveled tailings; eucalyptus trees, planted on re- claimed dredging ground in the Folsom district, The Portable House of Quality Best, Strongest — Most Artistic The "Ideal Clips" do away with all screws and bolts.
