town, drew the design for the seal as it
now appears, with slight notifications,
and showed 1t to several members Of the
convention. He was pressed to submit it,
but modestly declined and allowed Caleb
Lyon, one of the clerks Of the Constitu-
tional Assembly, to present the design be-
fore that body as his own. When he did
so, General Mariana Vallejo, who had been
so unceremoniously hustled out of bed
and taken to prison only three years be-
fore by the enthusiasts of the Bear Flag,
demanded that the mild looking bear be
either eliminated from the seal or made
fast by a lasso in the hands Of a vaquero.
His objection overruled on the
grounds that the bear appeared to be
harmless.

private citizens arising in their wrath to
SIT IN Judgment upon murderers and
Doodlers who were pursuing their knavish
ways unmolested by the proper civil
authority. More remarkable still: though
tnls oand of men had usurped authority
armed battalion of volunteers and build
eo themselves fort in the heart Of the
city to defy the power of the Chief Jus-
tice OF the Supreme Court and the Gov
ernor himself, they had with them the
almost undivided support of the whole
city and were honored as heroes when
their work was done.
The Vigilance Committees of 1851 and
1856 were born of the urgent necessities
OF the times. Within a year after the
discovery Of gold San Francisco became
nell hole of robbers, gamblers, political
sharpers and murderers. From the Aus
tralan penal colonies. from the hotsam
OF Eastern and European cities there
poured into the new city an ever increas-
ing stream Of the veriest rogues. The
1eebIe municipal government was unable
to cope with them. Emboldened by their
own successes, the rascals stuffed ballot
boxes and bought their way into power
30 that the arms Of justice were effectu-
ally paralyzed. Nothing but a Vigilance
Committee could save San Francisco from
absolute ruin.
The great fire Of May 4, 1851, which was
unanimously considered to be of incen-
diary origin, at last drove the respectabl
portion of the inhabitants to desperation.
In the early part of June, therefore, there
met in secret session over a hundred of
the determined citizens. They bound
themselves by oath that no thief, burglar.
incendiary or assassin should longer es-
cape justice, that should any member of
the association hear of some overt crime,
he should assemble the whole Committee
by an alarm on the fire bell and imme-
date action would be taken according to

- N June 10 John Jenkins was appre-
hended by the Vigilantes for rob
bing a store. He was tried that
night, condemned and hanged In Ports
mouth Square at 2 o'clock next morn
ing. On July IL James Stuart was
hanged on Market-street wharf. On
August "a thirty-six armed Vigilantes
broke into the jail, recaptured two
prisoners who had been taken from
them by the Sheriff and hanged them from
the caves of their own headquarters.
Upon incriminating findings of Coroner s
juries in the instances of these hangings,
the Vigilance Committee boldly issued a
proclamation, stating their reasons for
action and signed by all of the members.
No steps were taken against them by the
authorities and they continued their ex-
istence until the reign of lawlessness had
been checked, when they adjourned to
meet again If necessary.
The second Vigilance Committee Of 1856
was called into action largely by the aw-
full corruption existing in the city gov
ernment and the consequent utter paral-
ysis of justice. In municipal elections
clubs were openly formed for the purpose
of trafficking in votes. The so-called
double, improved, back-action ballot
boxes served to elect scamps and bood-
lers into rich offices of political graft.
Judges and juries were either bought or
instructed by a higher power. San
Francisco municipal government had
sunk to its. lowest ebb.
The crisis was precipitated by the as
sassination of James King of William,

though there is some talk Of a %

The wheat crop prospect is i'm
proving from week to week for the
Pacific northwest. Good rains have
fallen where most needed, and the
weather has been generally favorable.
There is a reasonable increase in the
acreage. and unless unfavOrable de-
velopments should occur later the
crop will equal or possibly exceed
that Of last season.
Crop conditions abroad have not
shown material change, according to
Frisco Commercial News. The dam
age to the grain in Germany has be-
come more apparent and the out
look is much less favorable than eX-
pected. This years crop is expected
to be about $4,000, 600 quarters against
1900, goo quarters last year; the
home requirements amount to about
% 600 600 quarters. Some improve
ment in France is reported. but the
crop is not expected TO be much over
81 800. 600 quarters. 5000 900 quarters
below home requirements. Concerning
the present situatiOn the continental
importing countries seem badly in
need of wheat suggesting that the
previous crop was largely Cyeresti-
mated. Purchases during the week
have been heavy and seem likely to
continue.
