New Schedule Is Put In Operation More Buses In Service On Motor Transit Lines Affecting County Increasing by approximately 70 per cent the number of through trips operated each week between Los Angeles and Santa Ana, Motor Transit company yesterday placed in effect a new schedule Brief Highlights of California History By ROY W. CLOUD, State Executive Secretary, California Teachers Association, Editor's Note: Roy W. Cloud, who has written these "Brief Highlights of California History," of timely interest in view of Admission Day, September 9, is the author of "Trails of yesterday," a narrative of early California days, and of "The History of San Mateo County." He is an authority on California history and was formerly historian of the Grand Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West. The Mexican Era The Spanish era in California ended, politically, toward the end of 1822 when Mexico, under General Iturbide, threw off the yoke of Spain and set up a separate Mexican empire with himself on the throne as Emperor Augustin I. The Mexican era, under a succession of governors, lasted until 1846, and ended with the entrance by the United States into California's history in that year. Chiefly overland, the infiltration of Americans had set in during the period, with American influences and pioneers gradually forging to leadership. Of the famed American trial blazers of this period was Captain Jedediah Smith, discoverer of the South Pass through the Rocky Mountains that made the historic "covered wagon" caravans possible. Foot Trail Open to Palisades Glacier Palisades glacier, the most serely in the United States and largest in the Sierra Nevada now accessible by trail from nearby lodge, reports the National Automobile club. Located 115 miles west of Big Pine via good road, the lodge is about miles from Los Angeles. Guides and horses are available at the lodge for the nine-mile to the glacier. This vast, awful mass of crunching ice, cut by crevices, is three miles long one mile wide, hundreds of deep. The elevation at the lodge is 13,000 feet above sea level. Bear Flag Republic The opening of the year found California with a while-ulation of about 10,000, including considerable proportion Americans engaged in agriculture pursuits, lumbering, and kinds of trading. The Method in California was weakened at Monterey and in the west at Sonoma, where General Vaintained a semblance of tary rule. Conditions were unsatisfactory for the settlers practically no cooperation from the Mexican authorities from the United States; such occasional warships as we see at California harbors. The climax to the settler's content came just before June 14, 1846, when George Vallejo and his staff were put under arrest by a group of Americans, in charge of Caleb Ezekiel Merritt. The Bear flag of the Cali Put In Operation More Buses: In Service On Motor Transit Lines Affecting County Increasing by approximately 70 per cent the number of through trips operated each week day between Los Angeles and Santa Ana, Motor Transit company yesterday placed in effect a new schedule, it was announced by H. O. Marler, traffic manager of the Motor Transit system. The new schedule provides for 27 round trips between these two cities, as compared with 16 such trips under the present schedule of operation. In providing approximately two trips per hour in through service between Los Angeles and Santa Ana, the new schedule is arranged so as to increase the present approximate two hour mid-day headway between Whittier and Santa Ana via Brea to an approximate hourly service. Likewise, the service between Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana and intermediate points, as well as between these points and Los Angeles, will be increased to an approximate 30-minute headway. In conjunction with the placing in effect of the increased through schedules, many slight adjustments in both leaving and running times are necessary. Marler informs. New timetables are now available from ticket agents and Motor Transit coach operators. Marler further declared that new and reconditioned equipment is being assigned to the southern district service as rapidly as possible, there now being several of the new depressed-aisle type coaches in this service. This improvement in service is due largely to increase in travel during recent months and confidence of the company that conditions in the district serviced will continue to improve, concluded Marler. Bank of America is Advertising Winner In competition with all banks in the United States and Canada, Bank of America National Trust and Savings association has been awarded first place for the excellence of its advertising during the past year, President L. M. by the United States into California's history in that year. Chiefly overland, the infiltration of Americans had set in during the period, with American influences and pioneers gradually forging to leadership. Of the famed American trial blazers of this period was Captain Jedediah Smith, discoverer of the South Pass through the Rocky Mountains that made the historic "covered wagon" caravans possible. Smith, who survived almost incredible hardships, and death on several occasions—once in a hand to hand battle with a grizzly, which he killed with a knife, being fearfully mauled in the encounter—was the first man to bring an overland party to California, by the southern or Colorado river route. He was the first American of record to cross the Sierras and the first American to travel the length of California overland, from San Diego to Fort Vancouver on the Columbia river. This intrepid scout—and the original pathfinder, because he was 20 years before Fremont—ultimately met the death he had so often defied when he was ambushed by a band of Commanche Indians on the Cimmaron. He was then 32 years of age, having been a scout and trapper from his early youth. His watch, Bible—which he always carried with him—and other personal possessions were later recovered from the Indians. The only geographical memorial in California to his great work, which has been altogether too little recognized by historians, is the Smith river, which he discovered, in Del Norte county. During this period—in 1841—the Russians, who had established a trading and hunting post at Fort Ross, near Bodega Bay, about 75 miles north of San Francisco, abandoned it. Fort Ross was established in 1812. At one time the Russians maintained a sealing post, manned by Aleutians, on the Farallone Islands, some 24 miles off the Golden Gate. In the international picture, Spain's North American power ended, England and France both were casting covetous eyes on California; a circumstance that quite apparently hastened the content came just before June 14, 1846, when General Vallejo and his staff were placed under arrest by a group of Americans, in charge of Caleb Ezekial Merritt. The Bear flag of the Californi Republic then replaced the Lion can ensign on the flagpole by General Vallejo's headquarters. The party included Dr. Schoen and William G. Ide, the latter coming the leader of the Beauregne. Without authority to hoist American flag, the settlers had cided on the design of a flair their own, with a crudely painted grizzly bear and one star hand-painted "with linseed oil Venetian red" by one of the pany, William L. Todd, a retainer of Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of Great Amancipator. An interesting detail of a native of the day concerning making of the flag, relates when some red material was used for embellishment it was applied by Mrs. Captain John Kane and said to have been "part petticoat" worn by her crossing the Sierras. A constitution was adopted by the settlers at Sonoma, decending California a distinct, separate sovereign nation. Captain John C. Fremont, topographical engineers, who in California on a "pathfind expedition for the government came commander of the Bear forces, organizing a battalion mounted riflemen and suppressing such minor oppoats that the Mexican authorities devalued to offer. Fremont called the "Pather," had the famous scout Carson, attached to his com-munity during his activities in Californi.
