A BUILDER OF THE WEST
The Founder of the California
Missions.

JUNIPERo SIERRA The Man and His
Work. By 4. RI. Fitch with hfteen
Illustrations from photographs Gnd
Map. l2m0. pp. xiii 3GL Chicago: a.
C. McClurg & co.
There are few names Of early Euro
pean pioneers more nobly written upon
the map of the West than that of Fray
Junipero Sierra. Some made their
mark with blood, some with political
advantage, some with geographical re-
search. He made his with the works
Of civilization and OF Contamination.
From Vera Cruz 10 the Golden Gate,
but particularly from Cape San Lucas
along the coast northward, the country
is dotted with memorials OF him. The
missions, which above all else give
character TO the country, to It's history
and romance, and to much of its pic
tul esque present are his enduring
monuments. San Bias, San Diego, San
Gabriel, Monterey and all the rest en-
JOY the inseparabe association Of his
name. In addition. il is 20 him that we
owe the preservation of California to
Spain a century and a half ago, and
thus, IN time, our own acquisition Of il.
Comparisons are often vain, but il
one were to be made between Sierra and
any other eminent Spauiard in Amer
lea it might best be with the greatest
of all the cOnquerors, Cortcz The diff
ference is that CorteZ was soldier and
statesman, while Sierra was a priest
Had CorteZ entered orders he would
probably have made much such a priest
as Sierra was. Had Sierra become SOL
der and statesman, he would have been
another Cortez. In unity and ixedness
Of purpose, in vision, in devotion, in
indomitable resolution, the two men
were much alike. As IL was, Sierra had
little TO do with war or statecraft III
rectly yet he indirectly dominated both
through the influence OF his spiritual
lsbors.
Mr.. Fitch tells the story Of his career
FOR the first time with anything like
such completeness in English. There
is no effort at rhetorical effect or fne
writing. though the subject often would
lend itself % such treatment. There is
a plain, straightforward and sympa-
thetic telling Of q story which in its
own simple details Of fact Is more i'm
pressive than any imaginative cmbroid-
cry could make u. The volume is a
welcome addition 10 American histori-
cal literature, and will make IL possible
for Americans readily 20 become ac-
quainted with a historical figure which
has never yet received due attention or
appreciation from the general public.

The Rev. Mr.. Sheldon would probably
regard as irreverent, if not worse, the
would-be epigram Of an infidel propa-
gandist, can honest Gods the noblest
work Of man" But in an important
sense that saying expresses a profound
truth. No man can fully conceive God,
but every man tries, consciously or
unconsciously, to do so; and by the
conception of God which is thus made
the man, or the church, or the civiliza-
ten, is largely to be judged. Such
conceptions may be, and probably in
most cases are, grotesquely far from
the truth, effectively. But subjective
IL they arc accurate revelations Of
their makers.
The Jesus whom Mr. Sheldon thus
pictures is scarcely to be described as
an epochal figure. He is negatively
rather than positively good. 1t is true
that He is portrayed as exerting much
influence; but it is such an influence
as He might just as well exercise with
out any incarnate appearance. There
is no convincing reason for His physi-
cal presence. The only appeal made
by this conception IS, therefore, to a
somewhat idle curiosity; and the re-
suit is not inspiring. The book is rev.
erent and devout in intention, and may
be Of spiritual value to minds of
certain limitation, but it will fall far
short of providing any new conceptions

A Happy Find.
In the Letters of Edward Dowden
and His Correspondents" just published
in England, are found some fascinat-
ing stories Of his adventures in search
of rare books in Dublin. His greatest
find was made in 1888, on a pedler's
cart on O'Connell Bridge:

is the lost book by Shelley, Of which
no copy was known until l sold one
TO the B. Museum in 1874, and no
other has since turned up. 1t proved
to be the copy which Shelley pre-
sented TO Mary Goodwin in 1914, with
her name printed on the cover, and
the errata written in by Shelley
himself.
Pauline Bonaparte..
Something better worth while than
the familiar biography scandale of
British manufacture may be expected
in the late Hector Fleishmann's study
of Pauline Bonaparte, announced by
John Lane. NJ. Fleishmann was known
in France as one Of the foremost au-
thorities on the subject Of Napoleon

The Yale University Press.
Now that the Yale University Press
has become an established fact, ii Ia
interesting to learn OF the number of
men who suggested the idea without
being able to follow II up as did Presi-
dent George Parmly Day. Among the
earliest suggestions is that os Benia-
min Franklin, in q manuscript letter
owned by the Yale University Library,
Franklin outlined his plan to William
Strahsn, under date Of October a.
1853, from Philadelphia:
| am now about to establish a
small printing Office in favor Of an
other nephew, at New Haven, in the
Colony Of Connecticut, in New Eng
land; a considerable town, in which
there is university, and a prospect
that bookseller shop, with a print
ing-house, may do pretty we'll.
The plan was afterward abandoned
but not until lot for the press had
been purchased on the college eampu,
and the printing press and material,
ordered had arrived in New Haven.

Guajardo's report and the action of

been followed in other cases that

In his report TO the Mexican War

"ConsuIs Hunting Trouble"

There is no truth in the report that
an American citizen has been eXecut-

Referring to the official statement
of an American Consular officer that
Nergara had been shot and hanged,

Colonel Thomas Griffith, the New
Commander, Takes Charge,
Succeeding Van 0rsdaIe.

Col. Thomas Griffith, formerly in
command Of the army recruiting
service at St Louis, has arrived at
Fort Mcpherson to take command OF
the Seventeenth Infantry, succeed
ing Col. j. T. Van Orsdale, who re-
tired from active service last week
Colonel Griffith has taken active
charge of the preparations for the
moving of the troops to the border
and will be in command of the regi-
ment during its service in Texas.
Major Martin, who has been in com
mand since the retirement OF Colonel
Van Orsdale, will be second in COM
mand, under Colonel Griffith.
1t was stated at the Fort Monday
that the regiment probably will en-
train for the border Thursday morn
ing. Orders have been received at
the post stating that the regiment
must leave Atlanta not later than
Thursday, and owing to the time re-
quired to pack up the equipment and
personal belongings of the enlisted
men and the officers it hardly is prob
able that the regiment will be able
to leave Atlanta before March 10.
The troops will go direct from At
lanta to Laredo, Texas, by way of
New Orleans, the plan to send them
by water to Galveston from Savannah
having been abandoned. From La
redo the regiment will go to Eagle
Pass. on the border, and report to
General Bliss. who is in command
Of the $4,000 soldiers that have been
massed on the American side of the
Rio Grande.
If it mad not been for tho fact that
orders We're received for the men and
officers of the regiment 10 pack and
take with them their personal be-
longings s we'll as their camp equip
ment, it is probable that the local
troops would have left Monday morn
ing. the time originally set for their
departure 1t is the intention Of the
War Department, however, to send
the Seventeenth into foreign service
after its service on the border prob
ably to Panama or Hawaii.

iment, at least for many years, for

Thirty towns along the shores of the

Of all on board.
There was only a slight diminutlon
in the force of the storm to-day. The
waves thrown up at some points
reached a height of so feet and in
several towns the first warning that
the inhabitants had was the rush OF
waters that swept through the streets
and CARRIED away their homes.
Government officials said to day
that the death list will reach $500, az
least, and may go much higher. Com

off. and it probably will be weeks be-

are making no plans for future tenn

sale of the church property is looked

for the approaching end
