How 1t Led an Old Pioneer to Make q
Mistake.
The discussion that has been brought up
by the selection OF a site for a Postoffice al a
corner of Mission and Seventh streets and
the various opinions that have been eX-
pressed as to the condition of the city at the
point named in the days of long ago shows
how people who honestly believe what they
assert can be mistaken.
A few evenings since gentleman well
known in this community. an old pioneer.
was discussing the character OF the ground
upon which it is proposed to build the Post
office, and remarked: "Why, it is all nom

ris street"
The one who made the assertion that it
was Thorne street spoke up in tone which
demonstrated that he felt hurt that any one
should question his knowledge of the streets
of early San Francisco. saying, My dear
sir you talk like child"
The other not wishing to be sat down
upon in this manner procured a book that
was printed in this city in 1854, and turning
to the first part commenced to study a map
of the city OF that date, and in a few
minutes TO read aloud, his finger moving

"This map, and l know that it is correct
shows that what is now Sixth street was

was Price, Ninth was Johnston and Tenth
was ThoTne. My friend" he continued, "let
me suggest that there is nothing so treach-
