HONOR is FREMoNT's
CREDITED WITH
NAMING GOLDEN GATE"
First Gave It AppelIation Of "crys
opoIae," Foreseeino That It Would
OutrivaI Famous Golden Horn
Of Byzantium.

The name given to the entrance OF
the bay OF, San Francisco was not sug-
gested, as is sometimes assumed, by
the discovery of gold in California.
although its bestowal occurred nearly
concurrently with that event.
So far as we know, the first per-
sons to enter the harbor Trough the
Golden Gate were the crew of a vessel
commanded by Lieutenant Juan Manu-
ell de Ayaia OF the Spanish royal navy,
says the San Francisco Chronicle
This was on August 5, 1775. They
we've shortly afterward followed by
Bruno Heceta. who was under orders
to cooperate with Juan Bautista de
ANA, who had been dispatched on the
bay of San Francisco. Heceta sailed
from San Diego. and. after protract-
ed voyage arrived in the harbor and
laid the foundations of Fort Point.
So far as written records are con-
cerned, they are silent on the subject
of naming the entrance, and it is prob
able that no one took the trouble to
apply particular designation to it,
although the islands and points about
the bay were promptly supplied with
appellations. De Ayala is credited with
giving to what we call Angel island
the name of Isla de los Angeles, but
he forgot to christen the opening
which gave access to it from the
Pacific.
Numerous vessels passed through
the entrance during the period be-
tween the foundation of the mission
of San Francisco and the American
occupation in 1876, but there is no
intimation in the records which cap
tains or their crews have left for US
that II had been named. The opening
and the bay were described by several
shippers. and particular points we're
referred TO in manner that makes
then recognizable, but no one seemed
to think that 1t was necessary to con-
fer name on the front door of the
harbor. whose beauties and import
ance they extolled, until an American
thought It worth his while to do SO.
To John C. Fremont belongs the
honor of comforting the appellation
Golden Gate. but curiously enough. in
accordance with the tendency which
1t "Chrysopolae." This designation
appears on the map of Oregon and
California which accompanied the
geographical memoirs published by
him in 1s4s.
These memoirs were written before
the discovery of gold at Suffers mill.
which was made In the same year.
and in them Fremont took pains to
make clear why he had selected the
Greek title. Like all the discerning
pioneers. he was profoundly impressed
with the belief that the harbor would
one day bear q great commerce on its
waters. and that 1t would outrival
Chrysoceros. the Golden Horn Of
Byzantium-
The pioneers accepted the name.
but promptly converted 1t into Eng
lish. and doubtlessly many OF them
who had no acquaintance with the
geographical memoirs OF Fremont
imagined that II was the steady
stream OF gold passing through the
portal which suggested the happy
title.

Wardner Williams.-The world to-
day is bankrupt because of war meas
ures. Since the founding of our re-
public s21 900 100000 has been spent
for war purposes. We have spent
more for war than for our educational
system, we have neglected states
manship, and in ten years have spent
enough money for war measures to
pay off our national debt and give
three Panama canals to the world.
The depression today is due to war
measures. There is not page in his
tory comparable to the present time,
the most crucial period the world has
seen. Now is the time for men of
great capacity. thought and knowl-
edge to hold the country where she
ought to be.

DR.. C. a. Lory-The average man
who fails to make good as a farmer
does so because he has too little cap
ital, too little grit or both. A man
must be intelligent to operate farm
successfully in Colorado. In the irri-
gated sections many men know so
little about irrigation that their prob
lem soon becomes one of draining
their land, not irrigating it. Three
classes of men in the city want to
go to the farm. One is the young
fellow born on farm who has made
a mistake in trying to make living
in the city. He doubtless should so
back. Another is the city boy who
thinks he is farmer. He should look
out and SHOULD try farm life about
six months before definitely deter
mining to become a farmer The
third is the young man who has mar
ried a country girl and is unable to
talk her out of the idea of returning
to the farm. His job is to grit his
teeth and try it.

Ed. w. Howe.-The boy who brings
in the wood promptly is rewarded by
his mother with an apple; his brother
who neglects the chores, is given a
box on the ears. The same principle
is carried out in every walk of life.
1t is as necessary to hang some men
as it is to honor others. Thousands
of men are industrious and well be-
haved because of punishment. The
present craze to be good to convicts
and fallen angels is wrong; not that
the state or community enjoys pun
ishing the evil doer, but because it is
as necessary as rewarding a good
man or woman for good conduct.
Spare the rod and spoil the child"
sounds like brutal doctrine, but it is
sound. Whenever truth and common
sense are crowded out by sentiment,
unnecessary trouble results. Facts,
experience and education make up
the trinity of real importance.
