MRS. c. b. wADEs NEW WORK
Former Pendleton Woman Now IL
Charge of Historical Society.

Mrs. c. b. Wade, formerly Of
Pendleton, is now in charge of a
prominent historical society and
museum in southern California and
the editor of the women's club de-
partment of the Oregon Sunday
Journal says of her work:
Mrs c. b. Wade, formerly one of
Oregon's most prominent club wo-
men, and first president of the state
federation is now actively connected
with one of California's most ambi-
tous enterprises, being corresponding
SECRETARY Of the Governor Plco Mu-
scum and Historical society.
The purpose of this organization
is to acquire, restore and preserve the
old home of former Governor Don
Pic Pico-La Hacienda del Rancho
Paso de Bartolo Viejo-to collect ar
ticles of value, historic and prehis-
toric, to restore old landmarks and
preserve old names in that commu-
n'ty. This mansion. situated in the
! relocated FL Canine Real, is notable
from the fact that it was the largest
residence to be erected in California.
The Oldest part of the building was
not later than 1926. The property
became Don Pho Picos in 1882. There
were 33 rooms in 1870 around a CEN
trail court paved in red brick with a
well and a tall black fig tree, Don
Pio's special delight. There remains
but one wall of the old part. The
great Dutch oven has long since
passed away as has the mill; the
chapel with its frescoed walls was
taken down a few years .ago, to fill
in an approach to the nearby bridge
across San Gabriel river. The man.
sion was doomed 70 the same fate
except through the efforts of few
Protestants in the neighborhood, and
Charles F. Lummis, president Of the
Landmarks club.
The work Of preservation began
the first of this year. Walls and
roofs were braced AMI about 200 feet
of cement foundation protection
placed around outside the walls.
The society has n 50-yenr lease on
the place from the city of Whittier,
and the great object now is to suf-
ficiently interest the press and peo-
pie of California in the project to
raise the required funds to complete
the enterprise. AS much of this
work will necessarily fall upon the
corresponding secretary, whose abil-
ity and energy is we'll known in Ore
gon. It goes without saying that the
preservation of this historic spot is
already an assured fact.
