Santa Rosa Island.

A correspondent of the S. F. Herald makes
the following suggestions with reference to
making one large Indian Reservation of the
Island of Santa Rosa
AS strolled over the Mission ground Of
Santa Barbara, gazing upon the many inter
esting features of this once imposing struc-
ture-its crumbling walls and ruined foun.
tains-and listening to the ripping of the
crystal sCreamlet that still pours into the old,
substantial "aguada," just as it did three
quarters of century ago, my mind was
occupied with these thoughts I seated my
self upon portion of the green, moss cover
ed wall, and gazed down upon the quiet
town, and from thence my eve ranged over
the broad bay to the beautiful island of Santa
Rosa, when the idea suddenly struck me that
there was the place-the very isolation the
Indian so much required. Could not the In
dians ofat least the southern portion of our
State, be transported thither and there cared
for? | asked. The idea seemed a feasible
one, and subsequent inquiries respecting the
capacity of the island and its climate, fully
su6stantiated it, and | at once determined to
uggest-hoping that it might meet with a
favorable consideration-that Government
buy the island, which presume it could do
for very reasonable consideration, and ap
propriate it to the Indians and, as an offset
bring the lands of the present Reservation
into market.
The island is distant some thirty miles from
the main land or Santa Barbara, is twenty.
one miles long and fifteen miles broad at the
widest place, and has one or more good har-
bors. 1t is of fine land, abundantly watered,
and possesses every qualification for fine
agricultural and grazing country, together
with n mild climate. am told there was
once large number of Indians living upon
it, who existed principally on fish, which can
be taken there in abundance, and it is a well
known fact among the old priests and early
settlers of Santa Barbara and vicinity, that
these Indians were remarkably healthy in
fact more so than any tribe known West of
the Rocky Mountains, and that their facilities
for obtaining living used to excite the envy
of those of the main land There are q very
few still on the island, and it is said that
those little remnants that are still scattered
through the Country Of the Missions" are
ever anxious to be permitted to go there, for
they feel that there they may live undis.
turbed.
The island has been used for many years
for the raising of stock, and has been proved
to be excellent for that purpose, being. fur
thermOre, entirely free of coyotes, and all
larger and lesser animals that tend to annoy
the farmer and stock grower

First WHITE WOMAN AT THE NoRrH.-In q
conversation with one of the early adven-
turers of this northern country, says the
Trinity Journal, we learned the following
interesting facts:
Mrs. Walton was the first white woman
who explored the territory embracing Hum.
boldt, Trinity and Siskiyou counties. She
came to Humboldt Bay in April 1919
thence, travelling on foot and CARRYING her
wardrobe and several articles of household
goods, amounting to forty pounds, upon her
back, as in forty nine, accompanied by her
husband, she found her way across the noun
tains to Big Bar. Trinity river One day in
June of that year, our informant and q
Scotchman were busy crevicing at the edge
of the water under bluff of rocks; they
knew of no other persons near them they
espied shadow in the water and "Seottv,"
springing up exclaimed, "Gude Goad, mon !
We're taken~ His Gaelic Imagination was
full Of lnjn" But it was pioneering Mrs
Walton, in her grotesque mining gear; she
had thus Travelled along the river, stopping
occasionally to mine
The two miners were peculiarly situated
they had but one pair of pantaloons between
them, and the company 6reecl,es had been left
on shore, the better to facilitate the business
of obtaining gold from below water, and to
have change at night Backing off to
convenient water depth, they held a parley,
and directed the woman to desirable camp
ing ground, and in the evening wore the
breeches, conSecutigety, at visits of ceremony
Mrs. Walton removed to Weaverville,
thence crossing SCOTS mountain through
Scots Valley to Scots Bar, and from then e
to Yreka Flat, and was the first white wo
man ever there. Finally she removed to
Oregon, and is there residing, if the New
Caledonian discoveries did not again rouse
her spirit of exploration. Her history is re-
markable: She was born in England, inner
iting two hundred thousand pounds, which
having been somehow squandered after her
marriage. she and her husband went to Aus
tralia; there the man died, and, marrying
Walton she came here; and ever restless, ap.
parently desiring to escape from human soci
ETY., she has kept penetrating desolate wilds.
Her face, though time and care beached,
retained estiges of considerable beauty her
mind was prodlgally stored she had learned
Latin and Greek, an exhibited familiarity
with the polite accomplishments of her day
and country. She brought dozen candles
with her from Hum boldt; six of them she
gave to q sick man whom she carefully and
tenderly watched. Let her be remembered
and let her story be oft told.

The War Against SpirituaIism.

The New York correspondent of the Alta
writes as follows:
A great onslaught has recently been made
upon splritualists, and many believe that the
ism is really exploded, and that the delusion
that has seized upon so many minds has been
scattered. To say the least, the cause has suf
fered some in reputation from its connection
with men of tickle minds. Randolph, the
great convert who during eight years walked
with his mothers spirit, and wished to die
before his time. that he might sooner attain
promised glory, now says it was the devil, -,
and that he lives to combat the precise doc
trine he then taught. Paine, whose cunning
tricks with No. 2 wire were instrumental in
making many prosolytes to the agreeable
doctrine. upon being detected owns up, and
says he was always humbug, truth in
which all who ever knew him readily acqui-
esce. Mansfield, the limner of spirit brides,
ard forms of spirit loveliness, has ceased to
reproduce, because he cannot pay Callaghan
for keeping his secret. Davis, too the great
reforner, the John the Baptist who arises in
the wilderness and gave the sign of the com.
ing of the great army of the departed, turns
away from the rigid purity which marked the
hrst era OF the h armonial philosophy, and
teaches the atinities of love and desire He
eliminated early, and now stands Profound
ly conscious Of his own elevation above the
world Of honest thought that surround him.
And, last, Dr. Hatch, the vulgar and most
obscene old husband of the young and talent
ed Cora v, threatens to pile up his ponder
GUS arguments against the falling cause, and
thus, rs he believes, crush it out entirely and
all because Cora refuses to live with him and
become vulgar like himself These great de-
fections, which are magnifed by many of the
sneering and unbelieving presses will so it is
hoped. heap so much odium upon spiriturl-
ism, that it will cease any more to trouble the
churches or the press-and its ghosts will be-
come so very dead as never more to reveal to
inquiring man the secrets of the tomb.
The friends of the cause do not, however
manifest any uneasiness upon the result of
these attacks 1t is claimed by them that
three millions of persons in the country be-
lieve the dOetrines-a number greater than
that of any other religious denomination, and
embracing men and women of the highest at
tainments and talents, who are able to give "a
reason for their faith and who are not
spiritualists because Davis, or Randolph, or
Mansfield are such, but because upon inves
tigation. they were convinced Of the truth of
the doctrines and they will need to be con-
vinced Of their error before they lay them
aside All the efforts these few years have
been strenously made to prove the doctrines
false. have thus far failed The press, the
pulpit, and the faculties of colleges have de-
nounced in vain. The people still believe
the evidences of their senses. 1t requires
something more than denunciation to prove
it false
