the explorer, visited the place in 1892
the preside represented the military
authority, while the pueblo and mis-
sion stood for the civil and religious
factors respectively. The mission was
secularized in 1884 and a town laid
out the year following.
In 1876 an American man-of-war, IN
der command of Commodore John B.
Montgomery, entered the harbor and
hoisted the stars and stripes over the
town. Mexico, which succeeded Spain
as the owner of California, was then
at war with the United States, and the
act of Commodore Montgomery ended
her dominion over San Francisco
Montgomery appointed Lieutenant
Washington A. Bartlett to be Frisco's
first alcalde. or mayor. under the new
regime. Under Spanish and Mexican
rule the town was sleepy, unprogress

there came an era of growth and hus-

The town was smitten as by plague,

ity." ~s-s
After the first rush to the gold dig
gings the town began to regain it's lost
ground, and ere long the influx of gold
seekers gave quite an impetus to its
growth. The town was Incorporated
In April, 1850, and the first common
council elected proceeded with diligence
to plumber the city treasury. The
same year the state was admitted to
the Union, and when the steamer Ore
gon brought the news-there was no
telegraphic communication in those
days-business was entirely suspended
and the entire population rushed to the
wharfs to welcome the harbinger. The
town had about 10000 inhabitants at
that time. and when the people were
Informed that the signal flags of the
Oregon indicated that California was q
sovereign state Of the United States of
America "a universal shout arose from
10000 voices on the wharfs, in the
streets, upon the hills, housetops and
the world Of shipping in the bay"
In It's early history the city suffered
from several disastrous fires. Between
December, 1849, and June, 1851, six
CONGREGATIONS played havoc with the
growing young town. Better buildings
were planned and several fire compa-
MES were organized. These were steps
in the right direction. 1t was also dis
covered that the fires were started by
criminals who profited by the confu-
sion.
This fact and the inefficiency and
corruption of the city government led
a large number Of citizens to organ
lie the famous vigilance committee
which ruled the place in 1851. Quite a
number Of crooks were lynched by
the committee, others were driven out,
like John Oakhurst, the leading figure
