AN EXPLANATION DOESN'T EXPLAIN The Long Beach Press comes to hand with a knock out. It's a beauty, make no mistake. Speaking of the source of the name of the Santa Ana wind, which bloweth whithersoever it listeth, it declares the origin is in the Indian word "sandana," which nobody ever heard of and proceeds: "Following Saturday's demonstration of an old fashioned sandana, or wind storm, Santa Ana may be expected to resume its campaign for a correction of the popular practice of many southern Californians and their newspapers of referring to these rare California Theatre ANAHEIM BETTER COME EARLY TONIGHT 5 BIG ACTS OF VAUDEVILLE And on the screen, that Picture Sensation and somewhat dissatisfied 'Santa Anas.'"

"The proper appellation is as the Press uses it—sandana; the term employed by the Indian and Spanish predecessors of the American population. It was natural enough, of course, for the present generation to mistake sandana for Santa Ana, thereby unwittingly dealing grave injustice to one of most attractive and progressive cities of the southland." Commenting upon this historical inaccuracy the Santa Ana Register comes to hand with the following: "Every resident of Santa Ana will thank the Long Beach Press for an editorial printed in that newspaper a few days ago, in which it is declared that the use of the name 'Santa Ana' as applied to a certain disagreeable northeast wind that occasionally romps over the landscape is 'both incorrect and libelous.'" "Old timers here are not likely, however, to accept the Press explanation of why the desert winds in this part of the state are called 'Santa Ana' winds by those who have not broken themselves of the habit of using the word 'Santa Ana' in that connection. "Locally, we have always been told by pioneers that the name was first applied to desert winds by early settlers in and around Santa Ana. The wind, coming from the northeast, seemed to enter the valley through the gap in the mountains caused by the Santa Ana canyon. Because it came through the Santa Ana canyon, the wind was called a 'Santa Ana.'" We hasten to come to the rescue of both our esteemed contemporaries with a truthful statement of the origin of the term "Santa Ana" wind. Old-timers here declare they never heard of the word "sandana" and the explanation of the Register that the wind coming through the Santa Ana canyon was therefore given that title is quite erroneous.

Because it came through the Santa Ana canyon, the wind was called a "Santa Ana." We hasten to come to the rescue of both our esteemed contemporaries with a truthful statement of the origin of the term "Santa Ana" wind. Old-timers here declare they never heard of the word "sandana" and the explanation of the Register that the wind coming through the Santa Ana canyon was therefore given that title is quite erroneous. Now for the real origin of this term, which has spread from this city, where it originated, to many portions of southern California. We have heard these desert winds designated as "Santa Anas" in Los Angeles and points further north and as far south as San Diego. We heard Col. J. J. Ayres, editor of the Los Angeles Express, say many years ago in that city, "Here comes another Santa Ana." He also said, on another occasion, that whenever he came into this valley, a Santa Ana wind was blowing. Of course, these winds blew more frequently in the early days; in fact, they were quite numerous, as Col. Brock used to say. Last week's wind was probably the worst of its kind in 25 years. We believe we are gradually "getting shut" of these winds, and we hope the time will come when they will entirely disappear. Away back in the 50's, when this city was first being laid out, long before the present city of Santa Ana had ever been thought of; long before Mr. Spurgeon riding on horseback through the immense fields of mustard, became infatuated with the valley and declared that here he would henceforth abide; long before this time the prosperous town of Yorba, up the river, was known as Santa Ana, and the early settlers, viewing the dust clouds toward the northeast, fell into the habit of saying, as Col. Ayres said many years later, "Here comes a Santa Ana wind." The wind blew down the river canyon coming by way of the town of Santa Ana, which is now Yorba, and was forever afterward designated by that title. Only that and nothing more. Perhaps the Long Beach Press, in determining the origin of the wind has confounded "sandana" with "sandilla," which means watermelon. How would it do to call these winds watermelon winds? Oh, boy! But when all is said and done, we feel that Santa Ana, the city we mean, not the wind, what with its Judge Cox, its Gretna Green, its St. Ann's Inn, and its many other celebrities, must be a good sport, must look pleasant and must take its medicine. Away back in the dawn of local history, three quarters of a century ago nearly, these winds were christened "Santa Anas" and reverberating down the hills of time, the title sticks. And as we write, shades of Col. Ayres, brilliant editor, author, orator, statesman, here comes another Santa Ana wind!
