in his first expedition is there with
many other personal relics of the Path

own and could make more money out
OF one fishing trip than he could make
In month as a mate.
That sounded a triae strange to
me, and after we separated 1 made a
few cautious Inquiries about the man,
From the proprietor of the lodging
house 1 learned that Henderson was
the owner of a fair sized fishing smack.
He was said to employ three hands, all
OF them men who had been with him
for number of years, and that he
made trips about twice every month.
each trip taking him away from Quay
mas for about ten days. He always
returned with good load of fish and
was looked upon as one of the most
successful of all those in that line, of
trade.
II left Guaymas a day or so later and
did not see Capt. Henderson until about
three months later, when returned for
another cargo of hides.
Became Firm Friends
when entered the lodging house I
saw him sitting at the same table with
a pack of cards in his hands. He
glanced up as 1 entered and bowed to
me. L crossed over and spoke to him.
for 1 admit 1 was curious about the
man. After some talk 1 left him, but
from that time on our acquaintance
grew until at last we became firm
friends.
Gradually drew from the man the
story of his life's history. He had been
born in New York but had left home
when boy and embarked on a saiIer
loaded with lumber for Australia. After
that hehad journeyed pretty much all
over the world, at last putting in az
Guaymas' where he had decided to
make his home. He told me he had
laid up little money with which he
purchased the fishing smack he owned
and which he had called the Sea Waif.
He told me his fishing trips paid him
better than most people thought, and
after f1nding out the secret of his trips
was compelled to agree with him.
When l learned the truth L found
that my friend, Capt. Nick Henderson.
was In short a daring smuggler. i
learned that he had succeeded in TAX
ing more cargoes of fancy drawn work,
fine opals and rich laces into the United
States without paying duty on them
than any other man IN Mexico.
For time l was at loss to under
stand how he was so successful, but a
few months later was to learn.

Il , advisory council, as is also Bishop
Johnson) has pledged TO the Southwest
museum the permanent loan of all that
the church has of the heroic period of
California-the time of the missions
This one thing would be worth a
museum. Nothing interests tourists
more than these relics of the mission
period.
Contributions and pledges and be-
quests of important material are con-
stantly being received. The society has
also the largest collection of folk songs
ever made in America-over 600 phono-
graphic cylinders about half of which
are in Spanish and have already been
transcribed for publication, the re-
mainder being in thirty different In
dian languages. 1t is expected to pub
lish two volumes of the Spanish songs
as soon as the translation and editing
can be completed
Over a year ago, having established
a membership which surpassed that of
any other society," the executive COM
mittee began quiet campaign for
site for the Southwest museum. A
foundation committee of fifty leading
citizens, men and women, were ap-
pointed. Meetings were held and the
matter was intrusted to the site com
mittee, of which Henry w. OMelveny
is chairman.
The committee and the executive COM
mittee investigated all reasonable loca-
tions in Los Angeles and some outside.
1t had been determined at the outset
that the Southwest museum should not
be set down on business street amid
confusion of traffic and where the
growth of great site might, in time,
do to it what the growth of this state
has already done to the Pico house, the
st. Elmo hotel and the other institu-
tions which only few years ago We're
the principal points in Los Angeles. It
was made the creed that this site should
be big enough for all time to come; that
the Southwest museum should be
planned on large enough scale for
the Los Angeles that is to be; that it
should be set on hill where it would
be neither hid nor forgotten, nor over
run-but where it could see and be
seen

GAY SEA DOG SPINS YARN or
OLD TIMES
Captain Nick Henderson of the Merry
Little Sea Wait Gave Uncle
Sam Many Trying
Moment

You talk of the number of Chinese
present; why the men who are doing
the business now. are greenhorns com.
pared to old Capt. Nick Henderson, who
formerly sailed little fishing SMACK
off the coast of Mexico. He made close
to 300 trips to California, frequently
carrying cargoes of human freight, yet
never once during his career did Capt
Henderson place foot on American sol
or allow his vessel to enter an American
port" said Capt. Alvin Swanson, one OF
the best known coast navigators now
sailing, while discussing that phase OF
the Chinese question with a number of
boon companions on the wharves at
San Pedro yesterday.
Capt. Swanson is. filled with yarns of
the sea. During the last thirty years
he has sailed, his vessels touching at all
ports on the western coast from Quay
mas to Nome. AS a commander of ves-
sells connected with the salmon fleet he
passed many years in Bering sea until
his name was as we'll known in the
frozen north as it is today among the
coasters in the southern ports as a man
of daring, a seeker after adventure and
an indomitable seaman.
Spins Many a Yarn
During his lifetime he has met many
strange characters, and nothing pleases
those who know him better than to be
given a chance to sit with him on a
quiet Sunday on the wharf of some sea-
port when he will spin yarns of the men
he has met, the adventures they have
gone through and the stormy gales of
their lives. Seldom can Capt Swanson
be prevailed upon to talk of himself
yet when he does the stories are even
more interesting than those he tells of
other heroes of the sea, many of whom
are now resting in Davy Jones' locker
watching the keels of the vessels they
once sailed.
II knew Henderson well. That is l
was as we'll acquainted with him as
any one was" continued Capt. Swan
son. and queer, yet nervy character
he was.
II met him in the early eighties in
Guaymas, where 1 had gone for a cargo
of hides. He was sitting in a sailors
lodging house at that place playing
solitaire. l needed mate and was told
by an old sea dog who was In the town
that II l could make a deal with Hen
derson he would probably be the very
mani wanted.
Il approached him and soon we be-
came engaged I'm conversation. l asked
him II he was looking for a berth. and
he turned pair of cold gray eyes upon
me, and the first thought that occurred
to me was that he would be an ugly

He gruffly asked the name OF my
vessel and where / sailed the number

trips had opened fire on her. One of
the first shots struck Capt. Henderson
| in his breast, and the man who had
made so many successful trips fell to
the deck pierced by the bullet which
/ was to cost his life.
Despite this fact, he stood the pain
| long enough to give directions to his
men, and the fast little smack steamed
out to sea with the revenue cutter in
close pursuit. Southwark they sailed,
the cutter crowding on all steam and
now and then sending shot after the
escaping smuggler That fast little ves-
sci proved too much for the govern
ment boat, however, and gradually drew
away from her league after league until
at last all the men on board the cutter
could see was the smoke trail she left
behind.
Doughty Captain Arrested
when the vessel put in at Guaymas
capt. Henderson was arrested by Mexi-
can authorities, word having been tele-
graphed there from San Diego to watch
out for the Sea Waif and her crew.
Her master was so sorely wounded,
however, 1t was decided not to move
him from his own cabin, but to keen
him confined there with guard at his
door.
Il succeeded in getting leave from
my vessel at this time and sailed to the
Mexican port to see my old friend again
before his death. 1 scarcely knew the,
man when l entered. His eyes were
glazed and the physician told me that
he had but few hours to live. Those
few hours passed with him in his little
cabin. He grasped my hand when 1
entered and muttered my name.
leaned over, and in low voice he told
me now glad he was to see me. Soon
he became weaker, and at last the spirit
passed out of his body and his soul
sailed away to the happy land of de-
parted seamen.
He left will and in it I found he
had given me the Sea Waif, the staunch
little vessel he had sailed for so many
years. l still own her and keep her in
the dock at Guaymas, and never fail to
visit her while in the Mexican port. 1

vanza car line on Pasadena avenue is
a short block away.
No location could be more accessible
to the bulk of the population than what
will be Los Angeles within very few
years. This valley is the main artery
of travel and always will be between
Los Angeles and Pasadena. 1t is acces-
sible from any part of the city for a g.
cent fare.
These hills are already largely climbed
on Sundays by people who know where
to look for wonderful views. The site
gives room enough for all the museums
of art, science and history that Los An
geles will ever need. The hill is more
than 1900 feet long from front to back;
around it's . curving side 1t measures
over 5000 feet. 1t is about 150 feet above
Pasadena avenue at the front and
nearly double that at the crest. No
other hill stands between 1t and the
great mountain range nor between 1t
and the city. No future construction or
development of the city can ever shut
it off from this matchless view.
Plans for Museum
The museum is planned in it's COM
pleteness to be a double row of exhibit
tion halls, each row 1900 feet long, be-
sides the cross halls dividing the plan
into a series of patios. The complete
plan will call for an expenditure of at
least half a million dollars. But 1t is
an advantage of the patio plan that it
does not have to be all done at once
like the skyscraper. 1t is built hall
at a time.
AS soon as the first exhibition hall Is
finished the Southwest museum will
open for business there instead of in its
rented rooms downtown. Such a hall
will cost between $4,000 and $25, 1000, and
there is already practical assurance of
several memorial halls as soon as the
site shall be fully paid for. There will
be halls not only for prehistoric Cali
fornia but for the beautiful patriarchal
days before the gringo came; for the
pioneer heroism of Junipero Sierra and
his associates and successors, and for
all the other manifold departments OF
d truly cosmopolitan museum.
The greatest and most beautiful art
galleries in the west will be In this
superb plan as we'll as the famous
archaeology exhibit possessed by any
city in America for its own region.
View Is Superb
There are probably not 1000 people in
Los Angeles who dream that within this
busy city there Is so marvellous a view
as that which is commanded by the
Southwest museum hill. Any one who
will get off from the Garvanza line at
Avenue Forty-six and climb the trail
up the hill with cut face will learn
something worth while. The mountain
view is Of range visible almost twice
as high as the highest peak In the east
from any point, and the rest of the out
look has no parallel or comparison in
the east.
A part of the work of the Southwest
museum will be school Of American
archaeology, of which this city is the
logical center, situated as it is in the
very heart of the southwestern field.
The claims Of Los Angeles have been
presented to the Archaeological Insti-
tute of America and it is expected that
the city will cooperate with the South
west museum in the foundation Of this

Projected
Site for Building Secured and Great
Institution VIII Be One of the
Handsomest of Its
Kind

Projectors of the Southwest museum
have purchased a site for their great
institution.
1t will stand on the hills of Highland
Park, midway between the business
center of Los Angeles and Pasadena.
High above the city, with a view
which no public building in America
can surpass and in district which can
never change it's character, this per-
manent structure of concrete will stand
for all time-the abiding place for all
that memory holds dear in the way of
relics and works of the early days.
TO friends, students and dwellrs in
the southwest or those whose ancestors
dwelt there the great structure, re-
sembling the Alhambra in Spain, will
be a shrine.
Towering in terraces on hill with a
frontage of about 900 feet and far
greater depth, the architectural scheme
can be heightened and broadened as
time demands it because the Spanish
and mission style will be used
Location Magnificent
It is admitted by experts that no pub
lie building in America occupies SO
magnificent a location as that which
has been secured for the Southwest
museum The view from every portion
of the hill is a revelation. 1t sweeps
not only across the city and out to
Catalina island, but the whole Sierra
Madre from the Tejunga to San ia
cinto. The beautiful little valley of
Highland Park is at the very foot of
the hill, and it looks as if one might
throw a stone upon the roof of Occi-
dental college. Eagle Rock and South
Pasadena, Mount San Antonio and the
foothills of the Arroyo Seco are all a
part of the view. AS the illustration
shows, this dominant hill will be not
only terraced but will be accessible by
an elevator tower, and the Garvanza
yellow car line runs right beside where

PURPOSE TO PRESENT FACTS
Commercial Club to Keep Tab on

Walla Walla's commercial club VIII
be ready for the next bunch of North
ern Pacific officials. President Elliot
promised the club that the subOrdi-
nate officials in this part of the coun-
try would visit the city and look into
the matter of a new train and when
thew come they will be met with con-
crete facts.
Just after the meeting of the club
with the officials this morning a num-
ber of the members met and practi-
cally decided the course of action, al
though this will be subject to the ap-
proval of the club.
Until the promised visit of officials
is made, a close tab will be kept on
all trains running on Northern Pacific
tracks in and out of Walla Walla. How
late the train is each day, how many
connections missed and all kinds of
data of interest to the railroaders.
If possible the number of passen-
gers coming and going will be record

Everything in the nature OF an ar
gument for the new service Will be
watched and presented to the repre- .
sentatives of the Northern Pacific upon
their visit to the city, in the hope that
the new train may soon pass from
dream into a reality.
