read in the course of his earnest remarks,
which reused those present to much
enthusiasm, the following suggestions
adopted by the Historical section, indi-
eating directions in which those inter

THE PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
l. That the Native Sons and Daughters
and the sons and Daughters of Pioneers re-
siding in the sections near to earliest Spanish
and American settlement such as SANTA Par
bara, Los Angeles, San Jose, Sonoma Mon
terey, etc, direct their efforts to secure objects
manuscripts etc, illustrative of the public
domestic, educational social. and other con-
ditions in California, under the Spanish and
Mexican regime, and 10 that end get into
communication with the old Spanish and
Mexican families. BY way of suggestion for
instance, they should procure c0Stumery OF
the era, types OF the domestic utensils the
art OF the time, the industrial tools OF the
time things and manuscripts Illustrative of
the worship of the time. likewise Illustrations
OF the aboriginal conditions of the time bv
costumes, implements of the chase, hus-
bandry, war, etc, As, again, things sugges-
tive OF the romance, song, arms, navigation
transportation, vehicles, etc, including let
tiers, books, grants, edicts, ETC., portraiture
and also architectural models and tvpes etc
2. That a portion of the workers address
themselves to securing objects, manuscripts
=
era Just prior to and succeeding the Mexican
war and prior 10 the discovery of gold This
includes matters and things relative TO Com
mOdOre Sioat, ana the raising OF the flag at
Monterey: the campaign of Fremont: the
entries OF Suffer; the discoveries by Ameri-
can and other navigators: the founding of
Anglo-Saxon settlements etc. This period
would cover about 1885 TO 1S4S.
3 That a portion OF the workers address
themselves to the missionary era, as repre-
sented by the few remaining missions-San
Diego. Dolores, san Gabriel, san Jose, Santa
Barbara san Juan Capistrano, etc.
A. That another portion devote themselves
to relics objects, Ms. books and things, Illus
trative ofthe pioneer era-1S4S and succeed
8. In this work the laborers would do well
to consult historical societies, churches,
cessors, officials, Governmental bureaus, pri-
waite collectors, antiquarians, remaining men,
bers of SteveDson's Regiment, early shipmast-
ers, Alcaldes and their sons ana daughters
early agricuiturists and miners and their
families. priests, friars and missionaries, di-
rectors of museums, owners OF cabinets, MN
eral and geological, and OF curlos, etc.
So, too, histories of the early capitals Will oe
found rich in types. Again, some municipal
ities and towns have regular histories iypihed
by MS, grants, deeds, ETC., that might be
photographed by amateurs; portraits OF early
Mayors and other officers, say prior TO 1860;
early military examinations, shown by mus
terrolis, uniforms, arms, etc.
