Others, myself included. specialized

Another very popular stunt was to
write in the front of the book: IF

The First Forty-Niner

InNE spring day in the year 1848
~ horseman came galloping through
the streets of San Francisco, sprang
from his weary horse and rushed
through the plaza, hatless and travel
stained, waving aloft little bottle
filed with some shining particles and
shouting "Gold Gold! Gold from the
American river!"
Thus 1t was that Sam Brannan,
frontiersman and adventurer, won the
title of "the first Forty-Niner." For
he was the first to bring to San Fran
cisco authentic news of the discovery
of gold by James W. Marshall near
Suffers Fort.
But this was not the only historic
first" in the career of Sam Brannan.
Back in the late thirties and early for
ties he had been journeyman printer,
free lance writer, an editor and "a
natural-born promoter" Also he was
full-fledged elder in the Church Of
the Latter Day Saints until the Nor
mon leaders little later had occasion.
and very good reason, to expel him.
In July, 1916, he brought to Califor-'
MIA colony of some 300 Mormons, the
first American colonists to reach Yerba
Buena, the little Spanish settlement on
San Francisco bay. Immediately he
began on the series of his historic
"firsts"-he preached the first English
sermon ever heard there, he solemn
lied the first American marriage on
California soil, he set up the first flour
mill and gave the settlement its first
newspaper, the California Star.
After he was expelled from the Nor
mon church, he became the first Cali
fornia promoter by getting out spe-
cial edition Of his Star and sending
1000 copies of the paper overland to
the Mississippi valley and the eastern
states, extolling the virtues of the
country to prospective settlers.
Then came the discovery of gold and
Brannan's role as ''the first Forty-Nin-
err" His sensational announcement Of
the gold discovery depopulated San
Francisco within a few days and re-
suited in Suffers little kingdom of
New Helvetia" being overrun by a
swarm of goldseekers. $3.50
In the wild era that followed, Bran
nan prospered. He was gambler and
banker, merchant and hotel owner, inn
porter and exporter, gold digger and
real estate Spectator, shipowner and
smuggler AS San Francisco grew he
doomed larger and larger on its hori-
zon, and at last was ruling 1t like a
Chinese mandarin. Then misfortune
overlook him. His later career was
one of ''ups and downs" but he never
remained entirely down, and when he
died in 1889 at the age of seventy. he
was fairly prosperous, in contrast to
the poverty which had oyertaken those

COLORFUL DRESSES

ZONES now the season when fancy,
~ or is it stern duty, turns to
thoughts Of getting the household
sewing done and out of the way be-
fore yielding to the magic spell of
spring days which entice to the joys
OF the great out-of-doors.
Lacking inspiration, we suggest that
you make the rounds of the wash fab
ric displays whiah are glorying the
aisles of all up-and-doing dry goods
establishments these days. See what
happens! An urge to buy and buy
to the limit of your budget will take
possession of you and your plans for
home-sewing will mount sky-high with
enthusiasm. It's worth trying.
In some unexplainable way the pros
pect of doing the family sewing is
apt to take on a sudden lure and
glamor as one fondles the lovely new
waffle piques which are so prominent
" displayed this season, likewise the
smart twin-print dimities, the dainty
crinkled organizes in pastel colorings,
also the plaided cottons which make
such smart shirt-waist frocks for the
mportant-minded junior Miss, and the
perfectly fascinating sheer batistes,
handkerchief linens and swisses and
point d'esprit nets which tell you at
first glance their mission Is to be
made up into party frocks which will
go dancing and frolicking through
happy spring and summer days.
Assuming that children first is
mothers slogan when the sewing cam
paign begins, few hints and sug-
gestions as to the general trend Of
juvenile fashions may be welcomed
at this time. For instance, it might
help bit to know that dresses of the
heavier practical cottons such as
broadcloth and the very attractive
calico prints and percales go in de-
cidedly for school-girlish effects this
season.

Fifty Famous
trOntiersm en-
The Pioneer Photographer
ELMO SCOTT WATSON

The Pioneer Photographer
livery summer for the last few
- years gray-haired New Yorker
has been setting out on romantic
journey. He Is William Fl. Jackson,
past four score years in age, who has
been back-tracking on the path of his
youth, the historic Oregon trail.
Among the thousands who passed
over that trail, Jackson is unique.
For he was the pioneer photographer
of that highway of westward-faring
nation" the first man to traverse 1t
with the crude Photographic materials
of 65 years ago, to make pictorial
record Of the country through which 1t
ran in its primitive state and to make
hundreds of photographs of Indians,
among them chiefs and warriors who
became famous by their deeds on the
warpath and In the council lodge.
Bora In New York in 1S43 Jackson
became an itinerant artist, a map
maker in the Union army during the
Civil war, village photographer aft
erwards, then a fortune-seeker in the
Mississippi West. In 1S66-67 he
was "bullwhacker" for freighters'
outfit hauling supplies from Nebraska
City on the Missouri to the valley of
the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
Next he and his brother set up as
photographers In the booming frontier
town of Omaha, but when the Union
Pacific began building west, Jackson
left his brother to run the studio, and
started out to record what was hap
pening irf what was then the real
"Wild West" To get pictures he took
the chance of losing his scalp, but he
got the pictures!
So successful was he that Dr. @. V.
Hayden, head of the United States
geological survey, offered him job
as photographer for the expedition
which started out in 1870 to survey
the old Oregon Mormon trail and the
old Overland Stage route. For the
next ten years he accompanied other
surveying expeditions and it was on
these expeditions that he took the pic
lures of scenes in the West, Indians.
frontier posts, etc., which have become
such priceless heritage to posterity.
In 1871 he made the first photo
graphs of the marvels of the Yellow
stone country and his pictures, as well
as the discoveries of and the speci-
mems collected by the Hayden expe-
tiition, of which he was a member,
played an important part In the ere
alton Of the Yellowstone National park
in 1872. In recent years Mr.. Jackson
has been research secretary Of the
Oregon Trail Memorial association. in
which role he is completing the work
started when he was not only a from
tiersman himself but the pictorial his
torian of the frontier.

how young and handsome and gay he
was. Happiness was already making
a new man of him. II don't under

ously, "she Is too busy with her own
affairs; but Susan of course-and 1
don't see anyone keeping anything
much from Eve"
What did 1t matter? Sniff asked
herself. She had always said 1t was
easier to hide confiagration than a
love affair, only she had not meant
that to apply to her own romance.
"Tm still not altogether happy about
your neighbor." She nodded her head
in the general direction Of Rockmoss.
"You may be-" Stone assured her.
"You see, Madame Saitou. there's
something I scarcely dare confess to
you. You really are getting left

in love with her own loneliness that
she felt It should not be wasted on a

said.

umphantly, "when Eve warned me
that something was wrong and that
I'd better stay at home and comfort
you"
Just then two thoughts struck Sniff
so simultaneously that she could
scarcely say which was first.
Stone must never know of her dis
appointment or her hurt at her broth
er's broken faith.
And was there any chance that she
was wrong in her superstition that he
was the buyer of Lovelylea7 The
mere thought set her trembling. She
must know and at once. She was in
q panic at the possibility.
"Fhere's only one thing needed now
to make me quite content" she
began.

heart that seemed to weigh down her
spirit. 81 can guess what 1t Is, and

For Hard Coughs or
Colds That Worry You

Creomulsion is made to give SUI
preme help for coughs or colds.
1t combines helps in one-the
best helps known to science. 1t is
for quick relief, for safety.
But careful people, more and
more, use it for every cough that
starts. No one knows where
cough may lead. No one can tell
which factor will do most. That
depends on the type Of cold.
Creomulsion costs little more
than lesser helps. But it means
the utmost help. And it costs you
nothing If it fails to bring the
quick relief you seek. Your drug
gist guarantees 1t, Use 1t for
safety's sake. (adv.)

Full Sleeves Prominent
in Late Paris DESIGNS

together with collars, sleeves can
be considered as the most important
item in the new fashions by Paris de-
signers. Even when the waistline
hasn't been changed or when the
length of the skirt hasn't been very
noticeably increased, all the sleeves in
the recent collections show a novel
cut. an original trimming or some
other interesting detail.
There are two tendencies at the
present moment. One is to continue
emphasizing the armhole of shoulder
line; the other one is to leave it
quite simple and trim. However, In
both cases. full sleeves are still promi
nent.
