EARLY HISTORY OF GOLDEN STATE SAN DIEGO PIONEER SOCIETY IS GATHERING DATA ON DOINGS OF FIRST SETTLERS WORK HIGHLY COMMENDED BY ARCHIVISTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA There is encouragement and stimulation for every historical and pioneer society in California in the work the San Diego Pioneer society has been achieving, declares Owen C. Coy, secretary and archivist of the California state historical survey commission, after returning to his headquarters at the University of California from a visit to the San Diego society and its collections. The San Diego pioneer's society's important collection of original material for the history of the San Diego region was inspected by Mr. Coy in its present place of display, the gallery of California history in the California building at the San Diego exposition. It is in charge of Mrs. Margaret V. Allen, a member of the advisory committee of the state historical survey commission. The work of this San Diego pioneer society was found by Mr. Coy a striking example of the valuable results which such local societies can accomplish in bringing together diaries, letters, old newspapers and other publications, old photographs, and all manner of coming to its great historical collections in the fireproof university library, for the erection of which on the Berkeley campus Charles F. Doe left three-quarters of a million to the university and for the enlargement of which $400,000 is now being spent through the generosity of the people of California. NEWS NOTES OF COUNTY Fed Poisoned Barley— A team of horses came near being the victims of the poisoned barley that killed a dozen hogs at the Thomas ranch at El Modena Thursday. Mr. Thomas was taking care of the team for a neighbor, who sent the barley over to the Thomas place to be fed to the horses. Mr. Thomas noticed that the barley appeared dirty, so he gave the horses some of his own grain and fed the neighbor's barley to his hogs. Twelve died but the disaster would have been greater had the barley been fed to the team. It is stated that one of the hogs was valued at $25 and the others at about $6 each, so that the total loss amounted to nearly $90. The grain had been poisoned for squirrels and had been taken for stock feed by mistake. Burglars at Fullerton— Wm. Hetebrink, the Fullerton zanjo, met with quite a heavy loss one night last week. Evidently the thieves who are ransacking that district, found what they wanted in his barn, for they took a fine new ten dollar horse blanket and a water-proof storm suit complete, and Clayton Russell, who was a guest at the Hetebrink home that night had a less expensive blanket stolen, of course by the same gang. Too Many Wives— Francisco this weekend see service offshore Diego and Santa Baja commissioner is paid to get her into active speedy and seaworthy designed, able to drive a seaway. Two bids for the contract, to Carl Westerfeld of to pass upon the spending an expert in suicides.

Another Successful Ting The Amalgamated ting the pay sand in Hualde lease, the few any well on this trade Union to undertake across the line on these will be Nos. drilling of Nos. 7 and west and northeast had been determined Hualde entered the being to protect them Among the possessions of this San Diego society are old account books which show the cost of living in the early days of California and just how people lived, stockholders' books and old maps and surveys of various early railroad building projects and material showing who the early settlers were, where they came from and where they settled. Among the bequests received by the society from pioneers, old Spanish families, and men and women who played a large part in the American life of Southern California from the 'fifties on, are materials illustrating the foundation and growth of the wide spreading Pueblo of San Diego; the acquisition and survey of tide lands, and public and private papers illustrating the political, commercial and social development of the San Diego region. There is an interesting Fremont collection, materials showing the relations between the American settlers and the early Spanish families, and valuable as to that picturesque episode the Mormon Batalion—a group of Mormons who enlisted at the outbreak of the Mexican war, after their troubles days in Missouri, and with their wives and children crossed the continent to help occupy and hold California, later turning nowthwest to make their home in Utah. Other features of the San Diego collection are the original records of the first district court, pamphlets, newspapers, clippings and a great volume of business correspondence throwing light on the early industries of Southern California. The work in San Diego is helping to correct the mistaken feeling that only Spanish material is historically interesting and to arouse people to the great importance and significance of the annals of American life in California. In the course of his journeyings to various centers of historical usefulness is too often overlooked. Too Many Wives— On the plea of former employers and friends, Lewis C. N. Bonnon was given a five year probationary sentence by Judge West. Bonnon pleaded guilty to bigamy, and successfully sought probation. He was charged with bigamy. First he married Clara Sessions in Los Angeles, and then on March 14, 1914, he married Margaret Davis in Santa Ana. Both girls were under 18 and both lived in Los Angeles. One has since had her marriage annulled and the other brought suit with the same end in view. Bonnon was arrested at San Pedro and brought to Santa Ana for trial. In Judge West's order, Bonnon is directed to refrain from drinking intoxicating liquors and smoking cigarettes, and must keep out of pool-rooms. Burglaries Got Away— Eight officers of Orange and Los Angeles counties hunted in vain Thursday night for a man who attempted to steal an automobile from the Munger garage at Irvine. The Munger family, who own a store there, were awakened in the night by a noise, and looking from the window; saw a man entering their garage. He rolled the car out and was evidently itent on taking it down the road so as to start it without awakening anyone. The lights of a machine coming from the south induced him to abandon his attempt as he left the people watching raised an outcry. The machine which arrived proved to be carried Los Angeles police officers. The sheriff's officers, who had been called by telephone, arrived within a short time, and the two squads hunted the country for the thief in vain. He had taken to the open fields and escaped. Queen Mary at Poultry Show— The management of the Orange County Fanciers' Association show, which is being held at Santa Ana this week, has made arrangements with Goodacre Brothers of Compton to have jero, met with quite a heavy loss one night last week. Evidently the thieves who are ransacking that district, found what they wanted in his barn, for they took a fine new ten dollar horse blanket and a water-proof storm suit complete, and Clayton Russell, who was a guest at the Hetebrink home that night had a less expensive blanket stolen, of course by the same gang.

In the course of his journeyings to various centers of historical interest to enlist the cooperation of local pioneer and historical societies in the work of the state historical commission, Mr. Coy in March or April will visit Grass Valley, Nevada City, Placevill (Hangtown) Sonora, and probably Weaverville in Trinity county and other centers of early mining life, to find what sort of material is there preserved of value to future historians, and to cooperate with local authorities, the Native Sons, pioneer societies, historical societies, etc., in plans for the proper exploration and safeguarding these family treasures of the California community. The university itself is deeply interested in such work because it possesses the famous Bancroft library of hundreds of thousands of manuscripts and 30,000 or more books on California and western history, because it is issuing frequent historical publications, because it has a member of its faculty, Professor Herbert E. Bolton, whose special field is western American history, and another, Prof. Charles E. Chapman, who devotes his whole time to teaching and investigating California history, because through the Native Sons fellowships it has graduate students exploring in this important field, and because new gifts of historical material, family papers, dairies, and the like are continually Queen Mary at Poultry Show— The management of the Orange County Fanciers' Association show, which is being held at Santa Ana this week, has made arrangements with Goodacre Brothers of Compton to have Queen Mary on exhibition at the show. Queen Mary is quite some celebrity in the chicken world. She is a Partridge Orphington hen, who has traveled 23,000 miles in her meanderings around among poultry shows of the world. She has taken a list of prizes in London, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle and elsewhere. Other excellent feature displays are to be presented at the show. Entries for the show closed Saturday. Patrol Boat for Coast— Orange county people interested in the protection of commercial fishing interests in this county have been watching with no small interest, reports that the state fish and game commission is going to have a fast patrol boat. Last year San Pedro fishermen flagrantly despoiled fishing grounds off this county's coast by using dragnets. The state officials did nothing to stop the practice. The Los Angeles office said it needed a patrol boat—then it could get the law breakers. Concerning the new patrol boat a Los Angeles paper has the following: "Anglers and marine fishery conservationists alike will be glad to learn that complete plans for rthe fast southern division patrol boat will go north in Fish and Game Commissioner Connell's pocket when he attends the monthly meeting of the Board in San Accused of Stealing S.

Every dep more money than w ANAHEIMIGAZETTE—THURSDAY, JAN, 30 Francisco this week. This boat is to see service offshore between San Diego and Santa Barbara, and the commissioner is particularly anxious to get her into action at once. A speedy and seaworthy craft has been designed, able to do fifteen knots in a seaway. Two bidders are competing for the contract, and Commissioner Carl Westerfeld of San Francisco is to pass upon the specifications, being an expert in such matters." Unlawfully Sold Booze— Pedro Partillo and Joe Loso of San Juan Capistrano, who pleaded guilty to unlawful booze selling at that place, will each serve seven months and a day in the county jail to ruminate on the way in which this cruel world is run. There will be no credits for good behavior, either, and the full term will have to be served. The longest sentence that may be given in the county jail is seven months. On a seven months' sentence, good behavior will get the prisoner out 35 days before the seven months are up, as five days' credit a month is allowed. Portillo and Loso were prosecuted on two charges, and pleaded guilty to both. Judge West sentenced them each to seven months in jail on the first charge and one day each on the second, the one day to be served at the completion of the seven months' sentence. Another Successful Well— The Amalgamated's success in getting the pay sand in its No. 16 on the Hualde lease, the fartherest south of any well on this tract, has decided the Union to undertake two wells just across the line on the Hole property. These will be Nos. 9 and 10. The drilling of Nos. 7 and 8 at the northwest and northeast of the Hole land had been determined upon before the Hualde entered the sand, the purpose being to protect the land from the other... Another Successful Well— The Amalgamated's success in getting the pay sand in its No. 16 on the Hualde lease, the farther south of any well on this tract, has decided the Union to undertake two wells just across the line on the Hole property. These will be Nos. 9 and 10. The drilling of Nos. 7 and 8 at the northwest and northeast of the Hole land had been determined upon before the Hualde entered the sand, the purpose being to protect the land from the other Amalgamated Hualde wells on the east and the Standard wells on the west. The Union Hole No. 4 has been finished. The rig for No. 7 is under construction this week. The Hole property gives great promise both because of the results already obtained in the wells drilled thereon and because of the big results in the wells on the east and west. The new Amalgamated well adds greatly to the value of this land. The Hole property is owned by the Union in fee. The new Hualde well also, of course, greatly enhances the value of Amalgamated land. It has a most excellent showing of oil. Increasing Business— A contract has been let for a new brick warehouse and office by the Olive Milling Land & Improvement company at Olive, which will be ready for occupancy in about thirty days. The warehouse will afford additional storage for 2,000 barrels of flour and cereals, which has been badly needed. That the business of the mill company has been rapidly increasing was shown by the semi-annual report of Secretary Blake, summitted to the board of directors at their monthly meeting last week. The report showed a very prosperous state of affairs. Tonage and new business as compared with the same period last year were considerably increased. New territory takes in all the towns in Orange county and reaches out as far as Whittier, Downey, Norwalk and Artesia. With the good roads practically finished, it is now proposed to send grain, flour and cereals direct from the mill to the Pomona-Ontario section by truck. The local trade has made it necessary to add another Moreland truck and trailer making it possible to distribute 22 tons of merchandise daily. An extra solicitor has lately been added to the field force and a permanent office man has also been taken on.

Higashi, a Japanese who, in 1914, was placed on probation after pleading guilty to passing a bad check, is in court at Santa Ana on a charge of having violated his probation. It is alleged that he kidnapped the wife of Rev. Ban, a Japanese minister, and kept her by force in a room in the Meyers apartments in Santa Ana for several days. The charges against Higashi arise out of a bitter feud that arose among the members of a Japanese mission, which finally resulted in Rev. Ban resigning his charge. Higashi declares that he did not kidnap Mrs. Ban, but that she had trouble with her husband and that she came with him willingly. He says they remained at the apartments only until they could arrange to go to Los Angeles without being discovered. JEFFERSON SIMPLICITY The submission of estimates by the various departments of the federal government encourages no hope of "return to that simplicity an deconomy which befits a democratic government." which the Baltimore platform pledged. Every department wants more money than was appropriated last year, although after the deficiency appropriations made necessary by the failure of the last congress to pass fifteen of the great supply bills are voted, the expenditures for the years 1915 and 1916 will exceed any in the history of the government, being $177,000,000 more than those of the last republican congress, whose "profligate waste of money wrung from the people by oppressive taxation" was denounced by the Baltimore platform and by every democrat of low or high degree throughout the United States in the campaign of 1912.
