- California Missions - Mission San Gabriel Arcangel September 8, 1771 Responding to a petition from Father Junipero Serra, Viceroy Carlos Francisco de Croix in the fall of 1770 sent from his Mexican headquarters permission to establish in California the fourth of the Franciscan missions. The new station was to be under the patronage of St. Gabriel, the Archangel, and Fr. Serra and Captain Pedro Fages, the military commander, decided to locate it near the Rio de Nombre de Jesus de los Temblores (River of Earthquakes), a name given to the Rio de Santa Ana when the Portola expedition of 1769 camped upon the banks of that stream. This mission, founded on September 8, 1771, and named San Gabriel Arcangel, was near a site that later became the city of Los Angeles, and was to be one of five situated about one day's travel apart north of San Diego. Two padres, Fr. Pedro Benito Cambon and Fr. Angel Somera, were chosen to build the new mission, later known as "Padre of the Missions"; and on August 6, 1771, with a guard of ten soldiers, these two marched out of San Diego. In view of the tragic events that came to pass at San Gabriel, due to mistreatment of the Indians by brutal Spanish soldiers, it is interesting to read Father Francisco Palou's account of the founding of the mission as given by Fr. Zephyrin Engelhardt, historian of California missions. "They traveled toward the north," says Father Palou, speaking of the priests and their military escort, "on the road taken by the expedition of 1769. After marching about forty leagues, they arrived at the Rio de los Temblores. Just as they were deliberating about the choice of a site, a great multitude of savages, armed and headed by two chiefs, appear ed and with frightful yells attempted to prevent the founding of the mission. "Fearing that a battle might ensue and that some might be killed, one of the Fathers produced a canvas picture of Our Lady of Sorrows and put it in view of the savages. No sooner had he done this than all, overcome by the sight of the beautiful image, threw down their bows and arrows. The two chiefs quickly ran up to lay at the feet of the Sovereign Queen as tokens of their greatest esteem the beads they wore on the neck. By the same action they manifested their desire to be at peace with us. They called up all the neighboring ranchers who on large numbers flocked together, men, women and children, and came to see the Most Holy Virgin. They also brought seeds, which they left at the feet of the Most Holy Lady, imagining that she would eat like the rest." Father Palou records that "the sight of the image of our Lady transformed the savages around Mission San Gabriel so that they made frequent visits to the Fathers" and, following the first holy Mass celebrated under the shelter of boughs on September 8, assisted the padres in building a chapel, buildings and stockade. With such an auspicious beginning toward mutual understanding it is a pity that the very soldiers sent to assist the priests should have been the ones to undo the good work done by the missionaries. Just when the Indians were going in large numbers to Mission San Gabriel, one of the soldiers outraged the wife of one of the chiefs and, in an ensuing We are authorized agents for the Gaffers & Sattler Electric Refrigerators — The best that money will buy.

With such an auspicious beginning toward mutual understanding it is a pity that the very soldiers sent to assist the priests should have been the ones to undo the good work done by the missionaries. Just when the Indians were going in large numbers to Mission San Gabriel, one of the soldiers outraged the wife of one of the chiefs and, in an ensuing clash between the natives and armed guards, the chief was killed. For a long time the Indians remained away from the Fathers and it was not until the offending soldier was transferred to Monterey that their confidence in the padres was restored. This incident, Fr. Engelhardt claims, delayed the founding of Mission San Buenaventura for twelve years, Commandante Fages fearing to send any soldiers from San Gabriel north to assist in establishing another missionary station. Visiting San Gabriel in September 1772, Father Serra was delighted to find that a number of Indian children had been baptized, including the small son of the slain chief, but excesses being committed by the soldiers against the natives caused Junipero personally to complain to the Viceroy of Mexico, with the result that the military commander of California was specifically ordered to cease all interference with the padres and their neophytes. Routine of San Gabriel was interrupted on March 22, 1774, by the arrival of Captain Juan Bautista Anza and the weary and hungry members of his expedition who, after many hardships, had found their way from Sonora, to Monterey. They crossed the Sierra through San Jacinto Pass. Discovery of this overland way led Viceroy Bucareli the following year to send out a new expedition from Sonora whose purpose was to found a presidio, mission and colony at San Francisco. For two years Mission San Gabriel occupied itself more or less serenely with its spiritual and temporal work and then in 1776 the establishment was removed to its present location and construction of new buildings undertaken. In 1796 the small chapel was replaced with a larger church which, in 1800 was superseded by ELECTRIC RANGE ELECTRIC WATER HEATER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY LTD CALIFORNIA'S ELECTRICAL AGE HAS JUST BEGUN!

OBSERVATIONS NOBLE EXPERIMENT It is said that chief in high command of the democratic party proposes to raise three million dollars as a war chest to finance their forthcoming campaign by publishing a book. This will be instead of asking forthe customary contributions. There will be 200 pages of advertising at $4000 per page sold to big concerns. It is planned to sell one million copies to deserving democrats on government pay rolls at $2 per copy. The book it is said Lady of the Angels, which stands today in center of city of Los Angeles.

SAY, THEY OUGHT TO STOP That reciprocal trade relatiop proposition is lopsided. This is an exporting nation. In 1932 nearly 60 million bushels of corn and wheat from here were sold in foreign markets, and in 1936 only 400,000 bushels were sold abroad. On the other side of the picture, in 1932 corn and wheat sold here from foreign countries amounted to 350,000 bushels, while in 1935, by reason of the reciprocal agreement, the amount imported jumped to 82,000,000 bushels. LOOKING UNDER THE LID Among a certain group of orange growers criticism is heard as to the method prevailing concerning the selling of oranges in the Eastern markets. Some growers speak right out openly and say so far as they know favoritism is shown in the auction markets because the buyers are banded together and only one bid is made for a consignment of fruit that is offered for sale. In other words the bid is not competitive. That should be stopped, they argue. For instance where a trainload of oranges is "knocked down" to a certain party that favors of unfair dealings. If the buyer bids $3.50 a box for oranges and gets them he at once raises the price to the retailer to $4.50 or perhaps $5.00 per box. The consumers then pay all the way from $6.00 to $7.00 per box. That is very unfair. And the grower receives from 60 cents to a dollar a box in the final settlement. That's what makes some of the growers sore and they want to withdraw from the association. That practice could be remedied by some concerted action on the part of the associations, they claim. This same group of growers also complain of the overhead expense of the associations which they maintain is excessive; including the fancy Santa Claus salaries of the higher ups. PAPA SPANK!
