NO CHURCHES IN THIS CITY IN 1873 WORSHIPERS OBLIGED TO MEET IN PUBLIC HALL—GAZETTE EDITOR SPEAKS SHOOTING AFFRAY AND OTHER NOTES PERSONAL ABOUT EARLY ANAHEIM (From Gazette December 28, 1872) There are no churches in Anaheim. When the "stranger within our gates" has critically examined the physical advantages which nature has so bountifully bestowed upon our beautiful town, when, after convincing himself by ocular demonstration that the fruits of the Tropics thrive side by side with the cereals of the Temperate Zone, when after seeing in mid-winter a climate mild as the month of May, he has almost decided to take up his abode in our midst, the question naturally suggests itself, "What are your church privileges?" In shame we answer there is no building dedicated to the service of the Deity, that the few who observe the Sabbath are compelled by necessity to worship their Maker in a public hall, and that in this beautiful land of the sun. "All save the spirit of man is Divine." It is a sad confession to make but nevertheless true. Laying aside all religious sentiment, the absence of a church is detrimental to us in a business point of view. We cannot expect CREEKS AND RIVERS IN CALIFORNIA Interesting Information in Reports Issued by Geological Survey Part III of the Gazetteer of the Surface Waters of California, prepared by the United States Geological Survey in co-operation with the State Water Commission and the Conservation Commission of California, has just appeared at Water Supply Paper 297. This volume covers all the rivers, creeks, lakes, and other bodies of water in the area drained by the Pacific coast and Great Basin streams and gives a brief description of each, stating the source, general course, location, body of water into which it empties, length, fall, and other useful data. This gazetteer is one of a series of engineering reports which is being published by the Geological Survey under co-operative agreement with the State of California and which will become a part of the final reports of the two state commissions above named. The object of these state commissions is to procure all facts concerning location, flow, fall, and possibilities of water-power and irrigation development of the streams of the state, together with the storage possibilities on all the lakes, ponds, and artificial reservoir sites. The gazetteer therefore forms a key to the information contained in the engineering erports. For the general public it is valuable geographically, because it affords a ready means of reference to the facts concerning any of the bodies of water of the state and also a means of identification. An example of the information contained in the gazetteer is given in the following reference: "Humbug Creek; Siskiyou County, California; rises in the northwestern" FOUNDING OF FRANCISKIN IN 1776 DIARY OF FATHER PEACE A VERY INTERESTING STORY CAME FROM SONORA TIONARY TIMES AND COAST METROPOLITAN The story now can be San Francisco was founded eye-witness who speaks, time-stained pages of an manuscript, deciphered Frederick J. Teggart, that of California has printed Benton Font's own diary. It tells came in 1776 from Sonoran with the Anza expedition, than a thousand miles o' mountain, and of how they raised on white cliffs high Golden Gate. "A little after eleven," Font, in the entry in March 27, 1776, "we halt pond or spring of fine water mouth of the port of San having traveled some six miles." "The port of San Francisco wonder of nature, and meet the port of ports, on great capacity and the vast included in its littoral or its islands. Closed in, and by mountains it is as quiet." "The commander decide the holy cross on the extraterritorial." There is no building dedicated to the service of the Deity, that the few who observe the Sabbath are compelled by necessity to worship their Maker in a public hall, and that in this beautiful land of the sun. "All save the spirit of man is Divine." It is a sad confession to make but nevertheless true. Laying aside all religious sentiment, the absence of a church is detrimental to us in a business point of view. We cannot expect people of refinement to settle amongst us, unless we pay, at least outwardly, a due respect to the kind Providence who has so signally favored our valley. (From Gazette January 11, 1873) Shooting Affray in Anaheim A few months ago one Miguel Bia, a half-breed, brought suit to obtain possession of a child of which he claimed to be the father. He was unsuccessful and left town, vowing to be revenged. A short time afterward he returned at night and sought an interview with the child's mother, who had formerly been his mistress. She refused to allow him to enter the house. After she had retired to bed, a shot was fired from the outside, just grazing her ear. Miguel disappeared again for a few weeks, and was next heard of as a laborer in the employ of Mr. Parker. During Mr. Parker's absence in town one day, Miguel again vanished, taking with him a horse, saddle, bridle and $5 in coin. His next appearance was on Tuesday night last. With two half-breeds and a white man he came again to the house of the child's mother and demanded the child. Manuel, who had married the woman during Miguel's last absence, attempted to protect his wife from their violence and was fired at six times. He was severely wounded in the hand and slightly in the foot. The ruffians left as soon as they saw that Manuel was shot, taking with them the wrong child. Discovering their mistake they left the little one on the roadside. We understand that their place of concealment is known and that there is a party of men in search of them who will probably report them not found on their return. Dr. John Stewart, who was called in to attend the wounded man, considers him in no danger, although he will never recover the use of his hand as it is completely shattered. (From Gazette January 18, 1873) Theft—On Thursday evening last some person without the fear of God or Mr. Melrose in his heart, entered the garden of the last named gentle all lakes, ponds, and artificial reservoir sites. The gazetteer therefore forms a key to the information contained in the engineering erports. For the general public it is valuable geographically, because it affords a ready means of reference to the facts concerning any of the bodies of water of the state and also a means of identification. An example of the information contained in the gazetteer is given in the following reference: "Humbug Creek; Siskiyou County, California; rises in the northwestern part of T. 45 N., R. 8 W., Mount Diablo base and meridian, at altitude 4,000 feet above sea level; flows eastward 4 miles, then northeastward 4 miles into Klamath River (tributary to the Pacific; fall, 2,000 feet). Shasta sheet (topographic map published by Geological Survey)." This volume of the gazetteer shows many curious similarities in nomenclature, common and favorite names having been given to different streams and lakes by the early settlers, who christen most of the natural features in new countries. Such characteristic pioneer names as Deadman Creek and Deadman Canyon Creek are applied to five different streams; in the area covered by the report there are ten Dry creeks, two Humbug creeks, two Jackass creeks, five Lion and Lion Canyon creeks, five "Lost" streams, and two Mad rivers. Bear, Bear Canyon, and Bear Trap are applied to 36 different water bodies, and there are five Grizzly creeks. There are 15 Coyote water bodies, two Wildcat, one Cat, and two Gatos (Cat, Spanish) creeks; one Skunk Creek, nine Deer creeks, one Rabbit, two Quail, two Dog, and one Scorpion creeks. There are also ten Devil and two Diabla creeks, but the Saints, male and female (San and Santa), cover a dozen pages of the gazetteer. There is also a Poison Creek and a dozen Snake and Rattlesnake creeks. The fish are represented in a page of Eel rivers, several Fish creeks, and one Sardine Creek. Copies of Water Supply Paper 297 (Part III of the Gazetteer) may be obtained free on application to the Director of the Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. Water Supply Papers 295 and 296 (Parts I and II) are out of stock at the Survey but may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., for 10 cents each.

FOUNDING OF SAN FRANCISCO IN 1776 DIARY OF FATHER PEDRO TELLS A VERY INTERESTING STORY CAME FROM SONORA IN REVOLUTIONARY TIMES AND STARTED COAST METROPOLIS The story now can be told of how San Francisco was founded. It is an eye-witness who speaks. From the time-stained pages of an old Spanish manuscript, deciphered by Professor Frederick J. Teggart, the University of California has printed Father Pedro Font's own diary. It tells how Font came in 1776 from Sonora, as chaplain with the Anza expedition, across more than a thousand miles of desert and mountain, and of how the cross was raised on white cliffs high above the Golden Gate. "A little after eleven," says Father Font, in the entry in his diary for March 27, 1776, "we halted beside a pond or spring of fine water near the mouth of the port of San Francisco, having traveled some six leagues." "The port of San Francisco is a wonder of nature, and may be called the port of ports, on account of its great capacity and the various bights included in its litoral or shore and in its islands. Closed in, and surrounded by mountains it is as quiet as in a cup. "The commander decided to erect the holy cross on the extremity of the brought from mountains 75 miles distant, a very large conduit to carry water from the river, and round opertures in the walls through which "the prince" had "saluted the rising and setting sun"—these were part of Font's observations. At Yuma the Spaniards left two priests to minister to the 3,000 Indians, and then, after much trafficking of beads and tobacco for watermelons, pumpkins, and other provisions, the expedition started across what is now Imperial county. Once, their cattle, stampeded to return to the last water holes, again they were snowed on, and on Christmas they stopped their march for one day, "for the reason that on this holy night of the Nativity the wife of a soldier happily gave birth to a son, and because the day was very raw and foggy." A day later, when they had halted near the rocks of San Carlos Pass, almost at the summit of the Sierra Madre, they were shaken by an earthquake," accompanied by an instantaneous and loud noise." Soon they reached the Mission of San Gabriel, "in a most beautiful and ample place, with plenty of water and very good soil." News had come of a rising of the mission Indians at San Diego. They had burned and plundered, and murdered the minister, Father Luis Jaume. Commander Anza, Chaplain Font, and twenty soldiers set off posthaste to bring aid. The blabbing of an old woman gave evidence as to the guilty. Thirteen prisoners were taken, and the recalcitrants fled to the mountains. Six soldiers were despatched on the return journey to Sonora, bearing letters. Scarcely had Anza and Font returned to San Gabriel when a soldier from Monterey deserted, and accompanied by four servants and muleteers, with thirty animals and much loot, fled away across the mountains into Mission of Uyes, Father Font "wrote out this diary," the original of which the University of California possesses, through the gift of the Robert E. Cowan collection by Collis P. Huntington. The diary has now been edited by Frederick J. Teggart, associate professor of Pacific Coast History in the University of California and curator of the Academy of Pacific Coast History. Its publication, in English and in Spanish, through the famous Bancroft Library and the Academy of Pacific Coast History, is giving to the world authentic memorials of the exploration, the settlement, and the development of California.

Closed in, and surrounded by mountains it is as quiet as in a cup. "The commander decided to erect the holy cross on the extremity of the white cliff at the inner point of the entrance to the port. At 8 o'clock in the morning we ascended a small low hill, and then entered a table-land, entirely clear, of considerable extent, and flat, with a slight slope towards the port; it must be about half a league in width and a little more in length, and keeps narrowing until it ends in the white cliff. This table-land commands a most wonderful view, as from it a great part of the port is visible, with its islands, the entrance, and the ocean, as far as the eye can reach—even farther than the Farallones. "The commander marked this table-land as the site of the new settlement, and the fort which is to be established at this port, for, from its being on a height, it is so commanding that the entrance of the mouth of the port can be defended by musket-fire, and at the distance of a musket-shot there is water for the people, that is, the spring or pond where we halted." All that day the commander and his deutenant roamed over "the low hills leading toward the inner part of the port," and at evening they returned, every much pleased, as they had found more than they had hoped for—much brush and firewood, plenty of water in various springs or ponds, much tillable ground, and also plenty of pasture everywhere, so that the new settlement can obtain much wood, water, and grass or pasturage for their horses, all close at hand—there is lacking only timber for large edifices, although for nuts and barracks, and for the stockade of the presidio, there is sufficient material in the woods." The Indians they encountered were gentle, good-natured, and very poor, and as they presented themselves unarmed they gave no sign of being warlike or ill-intentioned. Those who live near the port are pretty well bearded." Thus San Francisco was having itsude pipeer beginnings, in the same year when Boston witnessed the signing of the Declaration of Independence. But in Sonora, where Don Juan Bautista de Anza organized his expedition, there had been missions for a century and a half already, and towns Six soldiers were despatched on the return journey to Sonora, bearing letters. Scarcely had Anza and Font returned to San Gabriel when a soldier from Monterey deserted, and accompanied by four servants and muleteers, with thirty animals and much loot, fled away across the mountains into the desert, only to be brought back prisoner. From San Gabriel the 200 members of the Senior Comandante's expedition proceeded northward up the coast, across the Santa Clara valley, by the village of Carpinteria, past the Mission of San Luis Obispo; "in a beautiful spot on a little rise beside a stream, near the Sierra de Sante Lucia, with very fertile lands. The Indians of this nation are much better looking and seemly than those of any other nation I have seen." At Monterey they were welcomed by Junipero Serra, father-president of the missions, and at Carmel mission the seven resident padres sang a Te Deum, with peals of bells and great rejoicing. "The site is splendid, and the land very fertile," says Father Font. March 23 they set out once more from Monterey, traveled by the Valle de Santa Delfina, the Monterey river, the Arroyo de las Llagas, the Arroyo de San Benito, the Pajaro river, the Valle de San Bernardino, the Arroyo de San Joseph Cupertino, the Arroyo de San Mateo, the Arroyo de San Francisco, and on the fifth day, March 27, 1776, halted by the Golden Gate. After spending only a single day at the new town-site, Commander Anza and his immediate party left the settlers to begin the creation of the future city of San Francisco, and set out to explore the neighboring region. They killed "a huge bear" in the Arroyo de San Mateo. They they circled about the lower end of the bay, and followed its shore past villages whose Indians were fishing for salmon with nets, off tule rafts. The deer tracks were as numerous as if an immense herd of cattle were about. At last they could look out across "an immense treeless plain," to "a great snow-covered mountain range." They concluded that the river was not a river, but a great "fresh-water gulf," and imagined it to extend as far south as San Luis Obispo. Despairing of getting across the tule-swamps, they turned southwest through the coast range, and made their way back to Monterey, Sealed proposals will be received by the Clerk of the City of Anaheim, at his office in the City Hall, Center street, Anaheim, up to Thursday, April 24, 1913, at 8 o'clock P.M., for doing all the city printing and advertising for the fiscal year ending April 30, 1914.

The Indians they encountered were gentle, good-natured, and very poor, and as they presented themselves unarmed they gave no sign of being warlike or ill-intentioned. Those who live near the port are pretty well bearded." Thus San Francisco was having itsude pipere beginnings, in the same year when Boston witnessed the signing of the Declaration of Independence. But in Sonora, where Don Juan Bautista de Anza organized his expedition, there had been missions for a century and a half already, and towns that antedated by many years the first settlements in Massachusetts Bay. The first day's journey of the Anza expedition was a scant three miles, out from the presidio of San Miguel de Horcasitas, in Sonora, Mexico. Most of the day had been taken up with singing a mass to the Most Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe and getting the back-train ready. That September day of 1775 was the starting of a three-months' march over a stretch of wild country as vast as from San Francisco to Denver or El Paso, or from Washington to New Orleans. The last Christian settlement was passed near the Mission of San Xavier del Bac, in Southern Arizona. But the Indian "nations" which they passed were kindly and hospitable—once the country of the fierce Apaches was left behind. The "governors and calcaldes" of the Papago villages came bearing Apache scalps and asking bapism. Elated at the arrival of the Spaniards, they welcomed the white men and proudly exhibited the "Casa Grande de Montezuma." "The palace," says Father Font, "may have been built some 500 years ago. It seems that this place was founded by the Mexicans when, during their migration, the devil led them through various countries until they arrived at the promised land of Mexico." Timbers Indians were fishing for salmon with nets, off tule rafts. The deer tracks were as numerous as if an immense herd of cattle were about. At last they could look out across "an immense treeless plain," to "a great snow-covered mountain range." They concluded that the river was not a river, but a great "fresh-water gulf," and imagined it to extend as far south as San Luis Obispo. Despairing of getting across the tule-swamps, they turned southwest through the coast range, and made their way back to Monterey, and on to San Gabriel, and across the desert to the Colorado river. Father Garces, whom they had left there five months before, was not to be found. His companion, Father Tomas, had no news of him "since he went up the river to the Jalchedunes," with the thought of penetrating into the interior and discovering a way of getting into New Mexico. "I infer," says Father Font, "either that Father Garces has found a way and means of getting to New Mexico as he desired, or that he has had some great reverse in his apostolic visitations; indeed, as he was ailing, he may have died, or the Indians may have killed him." But Font himself suffered no such reverse. Eleven of the party crossed the hundred-yard wide Colorado river, turbulent and swollen from melting snows, on a single raft. It began to sink, but forty Indians plunged in, and surrounding the raft, took the party across with no harm but a wetting. They bade farewell to the Yumas, "with much tenderness on account of their fidelity and affection," and passing unharmed through the dangerous country of the unfriendly Apaches and the "even worse" Seris and Pimas, came safely back to Sonora, two months after starting from San Francisco.
