him that many foreign trader left this

In those days the law was very severe
against trading with foreigners, but Father
Ugarte was never even chastised. He

The adobe part Of the house is used as

Dolores in the year 1906 which impressed
me very much. 1t seems that in the early
part of this century the Governor had a
great deal of trouble with the monks, who
traded with foreign vessels that came into
port which was strictly forbidden.
AS / remember a passage from the book

for the pious fathers, must beg you to
watch them closely. Use all your energy
to suppress traffic so detrimental to the
revenue of his Ma iesty the King. The

The Presidio. whose duty it was TO sup
press all traffic with foreign peoples. Just
think, in the early part of the present
century what we Enow as Mission Dolores
was also trading station.
The people OF the immediate vicinity OF
the Mission Dolorosa are Spanish, all OF
whom spent their childhood days in an
adobe house, all of whom love it as the
Indian does his wigwam.

He Lost His Tips.

"Of course had a variety of expert
ences, he began, "while | was chasing a
fortune In the great Southwest. Perhaps
as odd Que Is any of them was this one
in Northern Texas. A few of US was
building narrow-gauge railroad to open
up a new section and put some land on
the market. At the same time broad
gauge line was being constructed through
that portion of the State.
Along stretch of about FIVE miles we
happened 10 secure the same right way,
keen old Yankee taking pay from both
OF Us. Neither road would yield, it would
take too long to fight the matter out in the
courts and we mpromised by. laying the
narrow-gauge between the rails of the
proad-gauge, arranging timetables with a
view to avoiding accidents.
Things went along without a clash for
about SIX weeks, when l started over our
road as the guest of the engineer. He was
showing me the PAGES of the locomotive,
and while We were fairly flying over the
common right of way We saw through the
dim light OF early morning that an i'm
mense sieepsr was coming toward MS at no
less than mile a minute. It had be.
come detached from the train ahead and
was shooting down grade.
There was no time to reverse or at
tempt to retreat. The engineer set his
teeth, pulled her wide open and shot
through the sleeper as though it were a
log bank. We cut out the broad aisle as
slick as saw could have done. raked the
ends OF few seats. caught the porter on
the smokestack and few on without
checking speed. Not a passenger was
nurt, but the porter sued US for 5000.
'Hurtf No, but he lost the trip, don't you
see? and tips were tips in those days"

Only three walls are LETT of what was
once room in the Mansion House. the
SWEETEST hotel for miles around.
The site Of the Mansion House is the
corner of Sixteenth and Dolores streets,
opposite the Mission Dolores. Before
Sixteenth street was cut through, the pas
tors house stood where the car-track is
now laid which was AN adobe structure
about forty feet long; the burying-ground
also extended across the street, in fact,
across two lots from where the corner OF
Sixteenth street now is. When the street
was cut through those buried there were
removed: 10 either the smaller bufying-
ground back Of the Mission Dolores or to
Holy Cross Cemetery.
The structure nf which these three walls
are the only relic was two story .truc-
ture built Of adobe. with a balcony run
ming around the second story. The roof
which rested on rough-hewn posts, was
formed Of curved tiles. This wac the
Palace Hotel of the Mission from the date
of its erection in I776 until Sixteenth
street was cut through. Near this build
ing were several other buildings, the
homes OF the padres and OF the military
guards. The fathers often complained Of
the insuGiciency Of the military guards
in case of a sudden Indian uprising.
In the first part OF this century every
branch of industry was represented; the
women were employed in sewing, weay-
ing and making straw hats, mats and
baskets. The Mission Dolores not only
supplied lis own wants but furnished the
Preside, puebles and ranches with most
OF their requirements. The military posts
drew all their provisions from this source.
The storerooms were filled with great
quantities OF wheat, barley, beans, peas,

Mission Dolores. as We now see it, at the
corner of Sixteenth and Dolores streets,
was originally but the southeast corner
OF the original Mission Of Mater DoIorosa
and San Francis d'A.sisi, the old mission
having been laid out in a square. Imme-
diateiy behind the mission buildings a
small orchard and vineyard was planted,
for the good old monks were as fond of
their wine as the Dutchman is OF his
beer and preiZels. 1t is even whispered
that these monks aided illegal traffic with
the Russians and Americans who visited
the port Of San Francisco That | sup
/ pose, was the only bit OF enjoyment they
had, and there are not very many
about to-day who can prove that in the
year 1776 good Father Laudasta. then the
head of Mission Dolores, permitted or
aided illegal traffic in the mission. The
property where stands the old adobe relic
has been in the hands of the Raffina fam
lily for a century and quarter: The
house is occupied by two old maid sisters,
the Misses Raffina.
