The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-08

! l rode all about San Francisco and her
sister cities with a gallant officer of the
United States navy, who had just landed
at this port.
The officer was feeling in excellent
spirits when he started on his outing.
suppose he liked to feel something more
stable than a deck beneath his feet, and
that after long cruise in foreign parts his
heart swelled with pride and patriotism
when lie saw his own flag floating every
where. At least l supposed that at first.
Presently we saw schoolhouse with a
flag on it. The officer bit his lip with
shame at being obliged to ask information
about flags from mere woman, and then
he inquired who was dead.
OF course l didn't know anything I
believe the officer expected that. He must
have decided that it was teacher or
scholar OF that particular school, and he
apparently forgot about that flag.
But later in the day we came to other
flags at half-mast, and finally to one that
was not only at haf-mast, but upside
DOWN.
That meant desth-pestilence And so
my navy officer fed back to his ship in
horror and despair. Nothing could con-
vince him that even landsmen could hoist
flags in such shape if nothing was the
matter.
So, boys, if you don't mind, won't you
just ask the janitors at your schoolhouses
to run those flags up taut and shipshape,

| in the territory then. But next year all
the world and Missouri rang with the news
of the discovery OF gold.
In very short time California had a
population of nearly halfa million-mostly
men. Don't you think those must have
been dreadful days for children?
Finally September 8, 1850, was the day
that the United States Congress passed an
act by which California became one of the
States of the Union.
/ The news didn't get out here till the
18th of October, when the steamer Oregon
arrived with it.
Nobody was much surprised, but every
| body was delighted. The 18th of October
was set apart for the celebration, and it is
supposed that everybody's clean clothes
arrived from China, where they used to
| send the washing in time for the men folks
to get into their ''biled" shirts.
They had lady orator to recite an ode
which she had written for the occasion.
Would you have believed it of them after
all the fuss they made about lady orator
for the 4th of July, 1895? And they had a
display of fireworks and \ parade. More
than that they lit bonfires on the hills on
all sides, and they illuminated all their
houses, and they kept the celebration up
all day and most OF the night, very much
as few of our people will do at this, the
forty fifth anniversary of that Admission
day.

The Day We Celebrate.


Have any of you children ever stopped
to think what wonderful history of Cali
fornia has been enacted during the life
time of the Oldest InhabitantP
Three native races are yet living in this
State which have each in turn been domi-
nent, and all within the memory of said
Oldest Inhabitant.
And there are even persons living in
this State to-day-yery foolish persons IN
deed you will say-who are always prophe-
sying that some OF us will see a fourth race
of people dominant here-a race of little
brown men from over seas.
Of the race of people which lived in
California from nobody knows when until
the Spaniards came-the Indian race
there are ever so many representatives
living who are more than hundred years
old.
Some are living in the shadows of the
old mission buildings whose young hands
helped to make the adobe bricks of which
those buildings were formed-all more
than hundred years ago.
Indeed, it is but three or four years since
there died at Monterey an old Indian,
called Old Gabriel, who was alive, it is be-
Eeved, when the Franciscan monks Father
Jpnipero and Father Crespi arrived here.

a visit to the site of ancient Troy or
younger Herculaneum hardly appeals
more strongly to the sightseer of to-day
than does ride over the romantic scenes
made historic by the exciting events of the
Argonauts. A pleasant party recently
climbed the rugged trail that leads from
Mohawk Valley, in Plumas County, up to
Gold Lake and listened to the story of its
early history with almost childish inter-
est. All the surroundings go to aid the
story-teller in his efforts to touch the i'm
agination, and the beautiful lake confined
within its snow-capped walls OF granite
brought past and present together almost
as much as If the old place was still alive
with red-shirted forty -niners.
The rush to "Gold Lake. was the first
of those strange migrations which sent
men by thousands tramping over the then
UNEMPLOYED mountains in search of reas-
ures hid away in their mysterious depths,
which proved almost as mythical as the
fountain of youth" or Aladdin's cave
The whole mountainside, from Kern to
Trinity, was being prospected in hurried
way by men unused to mining, and they
were encouraged to believe every wild story
that came floating down by traders and
Others who profited by every passing wave
of excitement (and they were not far
apart) in those early days of 40 and so.
Every day reports OF new discoveries were
coming in and men, and even whole trains,
came down carrying loads of gold-dust
sufficient to make the owners independent
in their old homes in the States. 1t was
noticed by the observers that the higher
up they looked for gold the coarser the
PARTICLES and, in some cases, large chunks
were found, and it did not take the inquisi-
tive Yankee long to begin to inquire where
headquarters were and from what great
original storehouse the vast quantities

I so that foreign ships need not be afraid to
come into this harbor?
About that time our flag had to be
hauled down at Monterey. 1t was in 1912
that Commodore Jones of our navy hoisted
J the flag, believing that the United States
! was at war with Mexico
suppose he hadn't seen the morning
| papers, and he thought it would be very
| clever thing to claim this Territory for mis-
| Government. Though he couldn't have
got telegram from headquarters, Com
| modore Jones discovered his mistake in
some way. and, after floating for a dav
and night, that flag came down. For a
time the flag of independence hoated over
California. which was in rebellion against
Mexico. Pho Pico, who died last year IN
Los Angeles, was Governor once and again.
The people were reckless and gay. They
loved fandangoes, dancing, bull-fghts,
bear baitings.
Every body rode ON horseback, and even
children learned to swing the lariat, to ride
at breakneck gallop, to snatch hand
kerchief from the ground while riding at
full speed.
Ships came to our ports for tallow and
hides, and great herds of cattle, almost in a
wild state, roamed our hills and valleys.
When gentleman went travelling in
those days be took drove of horses and
some drovers with him.
When his horse grew tired of the saddle
1t was turned loose ana a fresh mount
taken.
Horses and cattle were branded on the
flank, as they still are back among the
mountains.
There were no fences anywhere, but the
stock was driven to corrals once a year at
the big rodeo

thousands of horses were destroyed in
this way, and when you remember that O.
Californian OF those days only felt at home
on horseback, and that he doubtless loved
his horse as you love your wheel, you will
horse-stealing vas.
1t seems to take me long time to get
around to "the day we celebrate" The
story the Oldest 1nhabitant tells is that
Captain John Charles Fremont, called the
Pathfinder, came riding out to California
in 1876. He unanswered about for time,
but finally California was captured for the
United States without any particular
bloodshed.
And the 9TH day of July, 1916, the stars
and stripes fioated over Monterey again
and they haven't been hauled down with
apologies since that time.
There were some American ships in the
harbor down there and they floated all
their bunting and saluted the flag with all
their guns, and all their people shouted
themselves hoarse.
And up at Yerba Buena you can ask the
Oldest Inhabitant that you know whether
he ever heard of such place as that-the
same thing was repeated the next day.
Several generals fourished about over Cali
fornia for time, and there were even two
battles in which some lives were lost. At
last came treaty of peace and then bar
gain by which Mexico gave up all claim to
California aud some other territory for the
snm of $15, 100000.
There were less than $1,000 white people
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-08

Antonio landed at Monterey with some
soldiers and sailors, ana met there the
monks who had journeyed overland from
Vera Cruz in old Mexico.
June I, ITO, these people planted the
cross, and took possession of the country,
with religious ceremonies, in the name of
the church.
Then, unfurling the royal standard of
Spain, they planted it beside the cross and
declared this land the possession of. their
king.
When the news of all this reached the
City of Mexico there was great celebra-
ton, you may be sure. Al. the bells of the
city were rung, masses were said in the
churches, proclamations we're issued every
where.
And when the slow-sailing ships of
those days took the news home to old
Spain there was just as much ex-
element over there. I'll warrant
they had bull-ights and festas to
celebrate the news, as well as the stately
ceremonies OF church and state that are
told about in the history books.
Anyway the Spaniards had everything
their own way in California for a good
many years. They built missions from
one end of the State to the other, always
only an easy days journey apart, so that
the traveller could rest each night under
the hospitable roofs that gave shelter TO all
who asked.
The King OF Spain gave grants OF land to
soldiers and statesmen whom he wished to
honor. The Indians gave willing service
10 the fathers, who told them they were
come to save their souls.
Besides the missions there were the
presidios, where Spanish soldiers were
stationed. These we're expected to en-
force, il necessary, the rule of the Fran
ciscans.
Well, the Indians were the kind that
didn't care about taking people to pieces
one joint at time, as the little Apaches
were taught to do. They liked the fathers
and the ceremonies of the church delighted
them.
History says that in 1881 there were only
23025 people in California, of whom Is, 683
were converted Indians. There were
plenty of unconverted Indians, too, who
mostly lived among the mountains; but,
OF course, nobody knew, and probably no.
body much cared, how many there were of
these.
After while they had a revolution
down in Mexico, and somehow California
never belonged to old Spain very much
after that. The Franciscans had much of
their wealth and power taken away, and
American-that is United States-settlers
began to come in.
Now, am come up to the time that the
Oldest Inhabitant, hundreds of him, re-
members very well. You can easily
enough learn all the rest of the history OF
California by word of mouth from men
who have seen it and have even taken a
hand in making it.
In the first place there was that time the
stars and stripes had to be hauled down
and apologized for.
Wasn't that funny thing to happen in
a land where only fifty years after those
same stars and stripes float bravely at half
mast from every building where public
school is IN session?
Wait minute till | explain why speak
OF those flags flying at half-mast. One day
