MEANING OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY NAMES FROM THE STATE RECORDS The story of how California counties derived their names is an interesting part of the history of the Golden State. Believing that the thousands of tourists who annually motor over the state's great highway system would like to know how the counties they visit came by their names, Director of Public Works Earl Lee Kelly, at the request of Governor Frank F. Merriam, has had prepared from state records a series of brief stories of the origin and meaning of the names of the counties of California including a few salient facts about each county. Following is the tenth installment of the series. Modoc County—Created February 17, 1874. This county derived its name from a fierce tribe of Indians by that name, which means "the head of the river," and who lived at the headwaters of the Pit River. General O. O. Howard, in an article in the St. Nicholas magazine for May, 1908, page 624, states that the Indian name of the tribe of which Modoc is a corruption is "Maklaks", and means "The People". Famed for its hunting, fishing and scenic attractions, Modoc also boasts of 450,139 acres under cultivation, 70,325 of which are under irrigation, and is noted for it fine strains of cattle and sheep. The county has 53,193 head of cattle and more than 125,000 sheep. Dairy products are increasing in importance. Modoc is one of the few remaining sections of the state whose virgin timber resources remain practically untouched. It is estimated that 1,000,000 feet of lumber could be cut daily for 200 years, at the end of which time reforestation would have provided a new growth for cutting. During the gold rush to California's Mother Lode far to the south, many pioneers traversed this county which was known to the Indians as "The Smiles of God". The warlike Piutes on the east and the still fiercer Modocs on the west discouraged the white man and settlements were not in evidence until late sixties. The Modoc Lava Beds was the scene of the Modoc War of 1872-73. Soon after the Modocs had been removed against their will to the Klamath Reservation, some 150 braves led by Captain Jack, young Modoc chief, left the reservation, secreted themselves in the lava beds and began depredations against the whites. Troops sent against them were routed. Washington ordered a peace parley and a commission headed by Brig. General Edward S. Canby met Captain Jack and his subchiefs under a flag truce. The general was shot and killed and Captain Jack, who escaped, but finally was captured and hanged at Fort Klamath on October 4, 1873. Population: 8,038. Area: 3823 square miles. Mono County—Created April 24, 1861. The county derived its name from the Monache Indians as the Yokuts, their neighbor called the tribes of this region. Spanish, the name is interpreted as "monkey". The Monaches were closely related to the northern Piutes of Nevada an dthe Barb nocks of Idaho. Two branches of these tribes now are locally recognized—the Piutes of Bridgeport and Mono Lake and the Washoe of Carson Valley and regions to the north. Forming the northern section of the Inyo-Mono playground, the county combines extraordinarily scenic, recreational, hunting and fishing attractions with industrial center on sheep, cattle and poultry raising, mining, the growing apples and other hardy fruits. Here are snow-capped mountain reaching a height of twelve and thirteen thousand feet, great forests, beautiful lakes, volcanic Mono Craters, the unusual Mono Lake, the "Dead Sea of America", Bodie, famous mining camp or pioneer days, and many other places of interest. No fish swims in Mono Lake, the only life in due to intensive mineralization being a species of brine chrimp. Several cones of the Mono Crater are 3000 feet high. The charm of the vast Mono National Forest draws many tourists and vacationists. A total of 796,034 acres of 1,260,536 acres lie in Mono and Alpine counties. Mono has rich mineral deposits. Its arable lands are subject to extensive cultivation. The county is capable of supporting many times its present population. Excellent highways now make it easily accessible. Populations: 1360. Area 3030 square miles. Famed for its hunting, fishing and scenic attractions, Modoc also boasts of 450,139 acres under cultivation, 70,325 of which are under irrigation, and is noted for it fine strains of cattle and sheep. The county has 53,193 head of cattle and more than 125,000 sheep. Dairy products are increasing in whites. Troops sent against them were routed. Washington ordered a peace parley and a commission headed by Brig. General Edward S. Canby met Captain Jack and his subchiefs under a flag truce.

By is the Petrified Forest and a fine highway leads to the summit of Mount St. Helena which towers to a height of 4343 feet. It was a signalling point for the Russians when they were endeavoring to get a foothold in California by extending their operations from Fort Ross on the Sonoma coast. In 1841 the Russian naturalist, Wosnersemsky, named the mountain in honor of a Russian Empress. Robert Louis Stevenson resided near the summit in 1880 while writing the "Silverado Squatters." A monument has been erected there to his memory. Population: 22,897. Area: 783 Square miles. Nevada County—Created April 25, 1851. The word "Nevada" in Spanish means "snowy." The county derived its name from the perpetual snow-capped mountains within its boundaries. This county has given to the world $300,000,000 in gold and produces oranges at one end and ice at the other. It is one of the state's richest counties in scenic attractions, farming, mining and lumbering. In the western section, roses bloom the year around while at Donner Lake near its eastern boundary the annual snowfall is from ten to twenty feet. Its golden era dates from 1848. The rocker was the first machine used for washing gold, followed by the long-tom which in turn gave place to the sluice. Hydraulicking was first undertaken in 1852 and by 1876 $100,000,000 was invested in plants, equipment and property for this form of mining. In 1884 hydraulic mining was prohibited by law. Within a radius of six miles from Grass Valley are 110 gold mines, while within a radius of five miles from Nevada City are 120 miles with more than one-tenth of the population engaged in this industry.

Rossberg as manager of the Southern California Telephone Company for Anaheim and vicinity, effective December 1, was announced by E. S. Morrow, district manager. Rossberg succeeds Floyd Y. Snyder who will become manager of the San Pedro office. Rossberg comes to Anaheim from Coronado where he was telephone manager of that exchange. He began his telephone career in the Los Angeles plant department in 1923, and transferred to San Diego district in 1927. Rossberg has been in the commercial department of the company since 1932, in various capacities from salesman to manager, which has fitted him well to handle his new position in the local telephone office. Mr. Snyder, who first became associated with the telephone industry in Colorado and has held positions at Pasadena, Glendale, and San Diego, has been manager at Anaheim since April, 1933. He leaves many friends here who are wishing him well in his new duties at San Pedro.

Hydraulicizing was first undertaken in 1852 and by 1876 $100,000,000 was invested in plants, equipment and property for this form of mining. In 1884 hydraulic mining was prohibited by law. Within a radius of six miles from Grass Valley are 110 gold mines, while within a radius of five miles from Nevada City are 120 miles with more than one-tenth of the population engaged in this industry. Here are the Empire, North Star, Maryland-Idaho, Malahoff and other famous mines. Dry farming is successful, but most growers rely upon irrigation. More than 1,000 miles of ditches and flumes costing $4,250,000 furnish water for orchards and farms. Leading fruits are pears, apples, plums and prunes with a large harvest of oranges. Dairying and stock and poultry raising are major industries. In the eastern section of the county is historic Donner, Lake where George and Jacob Donner with a company of emigrants were imprisoned by snow from November until February 19, 1846. Most of them perished before the first relief party from California reached them. The horrible suffering they endured is a tragic part of early California history. East of Donner Lake is Truckee, one of the state's most popular winter playgrounds. Population: 10,596. Area' 974 square miles. Orange County—Created March 11, 1889. This county was given its name by the legislature because of the orange groves for which it is justly famous. It was "carved" out of the southeastern portion of Los Angeles County. This county is one of the richest in the United States per cultivated acre. The total annual agricultural production is approximately $52,000,000. Here is the home of the Valencia orange, which ripens early in May and will hang upon the tree until November without deterioration. On account of its highly productive oil fields, Orange stood for many years as the second county in the state in the production of minerals. Annual production of oil, gasoline and other oil products has reached the high sum of $50,000,000 a year, and yet that production now is surpassed by the Valencia orange in valuation.
