those who have not solna knowledge of the
settlement and history Of this State, still
for old CalifornieIls and n5n-r residents who
have kept trace Of the carly history and
development Of the Golden State, 1t
possesses an interest and charm that
viii last as long as there remains
one brick upon another TO mark the
birthplace Of American California civ
ilizatjon. Areund this crumbling pile
there exists q halo Of glory that all the
croWding years cannot dispel from before
the eyga q The argouauts Of The Pacific
coast. Within lts walls are ceuteTed mem

ditiOns Of life, cannot efface Here it was
that taa thousands Of sick and weary fo--
tune-hunters fcInd rest and succor after
their long meRths OF hardship experienced
in travelling Che broad plains, and noun
tars, and Grie deserts of the continent in
search of the wealth that ley entombed

o. The West.
" sUITEs's FORT WAS THE wATCEwoRD
Heard all s-ong the line Of emigrant trains
that Spawned the continent in 1949, from
the Missouri river to the then silvery
waters Of The Sacramento. Thousands of
men are living to-day il this State who
owe TO the founder of that structure their
very existence. When people were dying
from hunger and hardship out along the
desert roads that stretched away toward
the rising sun, it was there, in the memoir
able fall of 1913, that relief trains were Or
geuized and sent out with provisions and
medicines. No person has ever attempted
TO write history or sketch of California
without recital Of the circumstances
which led 20 the erection Of Suffers Fort
and the subsequent part which Il occupied
in the earlier development and settlement
of the State.
Suffers For. was the nucleus Of the pres
ent capital Of the State. It's far-seeing
founder selected its site as the most ayaila-
BILE in all the broad valley of the Sacra-
mento for the establishment Of a civiIiza-
ton that musis in the natural course OF
events, reach the lovely shores of the Pa
cilic After gold Wa5 discovered it became
the central point for the distribution OF
supplies throughout the mines, and thus
gave to Sacramento its first impulse as q
business center.

The onee-famous Suffer Fort had little
attention paid to it. At one time it was
occupied by the owner Of chicken
ranch" a few years ego the property was
purchased by the Association Of Pioneers
and the walls OF the fort repaired
somewhat, in the hope Of preserv-
ing it as the Oldest landmark Of
American civilization on the Pacific slope.
Even in its present condition it is an inter-
esting object, from its associations with the
past, and doubtless there are some among
the visiting veterans who will desire to
visit and look once again upon the old
and weather-beaten remains Of q structure
which was to them in the argonaut days
what the beacon-hght is to the storm
tossed, weary mariner.

SUFFER- AND THE INDIANA.

Sutter had . great deal of trouble with
the Indians. On entering the fort the first
thing to attract attention was switch of
black hair that was nailed up over the gate
way 1t was almost three feet long and
very thick, and looked like q horses tail.
It proved TO be the scalp and hair of an In
dian chief who had conspired to burn SUIT
ter's grain and kill some of his workmen
outside the fort. BY offering a large reward
Suffer managed TO get other Indians TO kill
this chief, and his scalp was hung over the
gatepOst as a warning to future offenders
Most Of the work around the fort in 1876
was done by either tame or wild Indians
The tame Indians were those who had been
caught while young by Suffer when he first
came to California. By clothing and treating
them kindly he had brought them into sub
mission and taught them to DO various kinds
of useful work. He had twenty or thirty
of these tame Indians organized into a mil
itary company, which was the garrison of
the fort TIE Captain drilled them regu-
lsrly and taught them to mount guard and
keep watch. During the night at every
hour, the voice of the Indian Waterman
could be heard calling AIS we'll These
tame Indians soon learned to despise the
naked, filthy saYages from whom they
were descended. They would deny their
race and were insulted if they were called
Indians. Recognizing the superiority of
the Spaniards and Mexicans, they soon
picked up Spanish and Mexican words, and
thus 4 few of them learned to speak Span
ish with some fluency. Besides their mill
tary duties the tame Indians made them
selves quite useful in performing mental
duties around the fort.

SELECTION or IT'S SITE

John a. Suffer came to California in
1888 or 1889, and about 1S41 became a citi-
zen Of the Republic Of Mexico Juan B.
Algarado, the then Governor whose head
quarters were at Montery, gave Suffer a
grant Of eleven leagues Of land, wherever
he might choose to select it. Having made
his selection, he set about erecting build
ings after the Mexican or old Spanish style,
which might not only serve as g comfort
able home. but afford protection from
hostile Indians; hence the construction
Of the fort the ruins of which are
to be seen today. Suffer was a
Swiss, and among the early mariners
that found their way within the narrow
walls Of the Golden Gate in 1916 was one
of his connrymen, named Samuel Kyburz,
who soon found his way to the fort and be-
came one Of Suffers assistants. This gen
tleman IS still living, and in recently pub
isbed Renaissance in the San Francisco
Post he gives some interesting particulars
of the scenes and incidents of those days,
from which we quote:

ERDINa THE WILD MEN.

Suffer early entered into negotiations
with the Russians, who had trading post
on the coast, for the purchase of Bodega
or Fort Ross. The place was sold to him
including much live stock, cannon, arms,
ammunition, etc. Ut may here be men
toned that two of these old cannon stand
as mute sentinels ct the doorway of the
Pioneer Hall in this city.) In his recital
of the history of Suffers operations at
that time, Kyburz says
In payment for the Fort Ross property
Suffer agreed 10 deliver to the Russian yes
sells, at San Francisco, 1000 fanegas Of
grain every year till the whole amount,
about $4,000, was paid. The fanega is
eouael to about one and one-half English
bushels. The Russians wanted the wheat
to supply the fur trading posts that they
had established st Kamtschatka and
Alaska. Suffer soon found that he would
have great difficulty in making his pay
ments every year. He needed hands 10
harvest his crops, With the aid of his
tame Indians, he was barely able the first
year to cultivate and SOW in wheat the
requisite amount of land, 300 acres. He
had no harvesting tools, aud he soon
found that in order to harvest his crops he
would have to have a great number of
laborers. The woods were full of wild

the various sections were under recog-

to open communications. He told them
that by virtue of his grant from the Next
can Government he was the Alcalde of the
country and ruler of oil the people in it.
He also made them understand that each
chief would be compelled TO furnish in
turn during the harvesting season 200 In

time arrived. the tame Indians, or va
queros would ride toward the direction
from which the Indians were due, swing

their method was no different from the
manner in which herdsmen usually gather

wild Indians, but they denied all kinship /

Results of Wiggins's Joke.

Something ought to be done to
squelch this man Virgins. The loss
in time and money, to say nothing of
the anxiety caused the people of the
South arising from his senseless prOph-
ecies is incalculable. The telegraph
dispatches of the week announce that
the family of Richard Wellington, a
farmer living near Hamlin, Michigan,
have gone insane over Wiggins's cruel
hoax. Wellington, his wife, son and
daughter have for some time believed
that the world was soon coming to an
end, and when Wiggins's prediction
was learned they firmly believed that
the time had come. When Wednes-
day came they sat down clad in their
best and waited. The strain was too
much and both the husband and wife
are insane. Right here it is well to
raise the question if the newspapers
are not responsible for a part of this
mischief in giving circulation to Wig
gins's nonsense. This business has
got beyond the domain of the joke and
heroic measures should be taken to put
an end to it-and to Virgins.

Sunday Observance Pays.

Mention has already been made in
these columns of the experiments
which the Pennsylvania railroad has
been quietly making to ascertain
whether it would pay for big rail-
road company to remember the Lords
day. A good many excursion trains
and some regular passenger trains
have been discontinued. All the
freight trains except those carrying
live stock and perishable goods have
been ordered off from o'clock on
Saturday night until midnight on Sun
day, and all repairing on Sunday has
been stopped. The results have prov
ed so satisfactory that the directors are
now arranging to make these expert
mental changes permanent and to ex-
tend them. This large corporation,
after years of violation of the Lords
day finds that it pays to turn about
and, Outwardly at least, to keep the
Sabbath day holy. 1t is hopeful sign
of the times. The experience of the
Pennsylvania company, as has been
well said, presents a practical argu-
ment in favor of Sunday observance
that Is nnanswerable.
