Traditions and Landmarks of Yolo. popcr written and read before the Federation of Women's Improvement Clubs and the Woodland Shakeipeare Club.) The following Indian tradition, relative to the great valley ot central California, and as such applicable to our own county, is of such ancient origin that it would be impossible to trace It even If It were possible to do so by the Indian moons. It passed from father to son through countless generations of Indians until it was at last interpreted by the Mission Fathers. "Many, many moons ago this great valley of central California was a vast inland sea, having for its eastern boundary a range of mountains now known as the Sierra Nevada, and for the western boundary the Coast Range. The Indians lived around its shores Happy and contented, going back into the mountains in search of game and again returning to fish along Its peaceful shores.

In the midst of this qnlet and contented life an earthquake shook this body of water to its very depths, Mt. Diablo was upheaved a blazing mountain, emitting vast quantities of smoke and flre, from which it takes its name, Devil mountain. The sun was obscured and the terrified Indians, convulsed with fear, lay prostrate on. the ground, or fled toward the mountains. On the third day the smoke cleared, and this vast body of water -was found to have escaped through an opening in the Coast Range, now known as the Golden Gate, and what was before a vast Inland sea had become a beautiful inland valley." The Indians in time occupied this valley, not divided, however, as they in the northern part of the state into large tribes, but scattered over its surface In innumerable small bands.

"When the first settlers caine to Yolo county they found a number of these bands located in different sections of county. One of these hands, the Yodos, is of especial interest to us. The word "Yodo" is an Indian word, meaning the land of tules or rushes, and Yolo, the name of the county, is a corruption of this word. This band occupied the region in and around Knights Landing, and their chief, Yodo, is well remembered by old settlers. He is described as being somewhat of a flner type of Indian than the average "digger," He wore his hair reached high off his forehead, and sitting 1n council surrounded by bands of Indians collected from different parts of the county and other counties he made a striking figure.

According to accounts of these early settlers, Indian population In Yolo county and all through the great central valley at the time of their coming was very sparse. There were two reasons for this: The bleached and dismembered remains of Indians were found in large quantities, as evidence that some fatal disease had quickly decimated their These were so thick In'the vicinity ot the Yodo mound at Knights Landing, where Mr. Wm. Knight built his first rude house, that he collected and burled them in one side of the mound. Another and more potent reason waa owing to the fact that the Mission Fathers had previously traveled through the valley and succeeded In gathering many of these Indians around the missions of southern California.

When the secularization of the missions was completed, permission was granted by the Mexican government to many of these settlers to bring the Indians back to the places from which they had originally been taken. Mr Knight brought to his grant 90 nt one time. These bands of Indians did not assume any tribal relations, consequently their mode of life was very primitive and wholly devoid of tradition. They were so mild In their dealings with the early white settlers thai their actions often reached the poin of timidity and they fled from the whites more often than they approached them for the purpose of warfare They were found in an extreme!) nude condition. In summer all thej required was to be shaded from the sun, and for this a pile of bushes, a tree, or the shelter of a crag sufficed Their winter huts were a trifle more pretentious.

Willow poles were set up right In the ground and the tops drawn together, forming a conical structure Brash or strips of bark were then piled up against the poles and the whole was sometimes covered with a thick layer of mud. A hole in the top let the smoke escape and a small opening close to the ground admitted the occupants. Collections of these native huts, called by a familiar localism "rancharee," were found scattered over various parts of Yolo county. One may still be found at the head of Capay valley. This one as It now exists may not be typical of early Indian life in the county, but a visit to it disclosed some Interesting facts.

They have erected in front of one of their wigwams a pole, closely resembling the Totem pole of the Alaska Indians This was wrapped with different pieces of colored cotton cloth. Investigation disclosed the fact that this was a record of the history of the band. They were found engaged in the ingenious and skillful art of has ket-maklng and their baskets are said to rank among the best In the state The food of these roving bands was easily obtained, which accounts In a measure for their laziness, a characteristic the Indians of central California are especially noted for. Game and fish were plentiful, but they preferred a vegetable diet and subsisted principally on acorns, roots, grass seeds and berries. One custom, the Indian dance, common to all Indians, whether living In tribes or bands.was witnessed by early settlers.

The Indian adorned himself with feather ornaments, painted hie body with glaring coloro, sometimes painting one-half of his body one color and the other half a contrasting color, and In this brilliant plumage more resembled a. bird than e. human being. The dancing was accompanied by Krosjilngs, clapping of hands and other MdeouR.nolMi. The mode of burial among these baadi vu cremation and the scene la to bMn a wdird (BY MISS KATHRYN SIMMONS.) ID a frenzy of excitement the friends aud relatives leapt about the The fingers were dipped In re- mains and smeared over their faces as a badge of mourning.

It was allowed to remain there until worn off by the action of the weather. Much more might be said in a general way of the life land custom of hese Indians. Bancroft in his "Naive Races of the Pacific Coast" demotes many pages in describing the In- llaus of the great central valley, but ilnce his description applies to all he bands anil no special mention Is made to any In Yolo I have preferred to treat of the Indians as the settlers found them. Passing to the authen- Ic tradition exists of the trapping period in the county. The county was a direct highway between the north and the south, and was visited by almost nil the older hunting and explor- ng expeditions.

Tradition relates that "edediah S. Smith, the famous trapper, spent much time In Yolo county, as aarly as 1825. Between the years 1833-1845 the ludson Bay Company had a Cailfor- ila department with headquarters at Yerba Quena. They had two trapping itationa In the state where they cached heir skins, caching thorn as they went north In the spring and removing hem as they went south in the fall. One of these stations was located about one mile east of Cachevlile in a grove of oak timber.

If it were possible to exactly locate this spot it might be classed as an Important landmark of the county. Bands of men called "free trappers" cached their 'urs all along Cache creek; from these two sources we have the names lachevllle and Cache creek. Passing from this trapping period ve come to the period of settlement Por the purpose of settling California the interests of Mexico, the Mexican Miss Kathryn Simmons. government gave grants of land to actual settlers In this state. These grants were given to a Mexican clti zen, either native or adopted, or must have married a Alexican wife, in which case the land was granted to the wife.

One of these grants led to the first settlement made in Yolo county. In the year 1841 a. party of 25 persons left Santa Pe, New Mexico, and after traversing the country almost unknown to civilization, arrived at the old San Diego Mission. They remained during tlie winter and In the spring the party separated. Among the number that pushed northward were Mr Wm.

Gordon and his family. Gordon was born in Ohio about the year 1800. His love of adventure ant for the wild life of the west prompted him to leave his native state and wandered among the Rocky mountains finally reaching Mexico, where he be came a Mexican citizen by adoption married Mexican wife and a grant of land. Leaving the San Diego Mission will his family and driving a few heac of stock cattle and horses he mad' his way to Butter's fort Gen. John A.

Sutler, who had located there 1 months before, gave Mr. Gordon ant his family a hearty welcome. They did not remain long but crossed th Sacramento river and settled on wha la known as the Gordon grant, abou 10 miles west of Woodland, thus be coming the flrst white settler In th county. The location is now market by a frame building on the left bank of Cache creek, about 3 miles from the Stephens bridge, traveling up th creek. Until a few years ago it re mBined In possession of the Gordon heirs, but has since passed Into th hands of strangers.

The family bury Ing ground can still be seen on th farm, four members of the family be ing buried there. Their first house was built branches of trees set upright and plas tered Inside and outside with mud Hero Gordon spent his time trappin beavers, hunting wild game, such as elk, deer and antelope, preparing the! hides for market, herding his cattle which In time rapidly increased in number. The next settler in Yolo county wa: Mr. William Knight, who in 1843 ob talned a grant of land where Knights Landing now stands, and made a set there. Mr.

Knight was a native of Baltl more and a physician by profession He preferred a life of adventure, anc the unknown west ample op portunlty to satisfy his desire for thli kind of life. Like Mr. Gordon, hi reached Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he married and received a grant land. After a residence of some year; there he started with his wife am family for California, coming by way of Los Angeles. He patiently pushed northward through this unknown region, now known as one of the most beautiful re gions of the world, until he arrived In Yolo county at the grant above mentioned.

Among his family that made this perilous but famous trip with him were Bfrs. J. W. snowball now a resident ot Knights Landing Mrs. Jacobs, who resides in San Francisco, Mrs.

C. F. Reod and some sons since deceased. Mrs. Snowball, who was 8 years old the time, descrlbas thia trip as being one continual round of enjoyment for the children, They traveled on ponies and drove some stock and horoca through a region destitute of any trail save that worn the elk, deer, antelope and bear.

The ponies that carried the children were supplied with two baskets, one on each side. Each basket carried two children, and in these they sat or slept. When tired of this cramped but safe position they climbed out of the basket and upon the back of the pony. Mr. Knight built his house of poles nd rushes on the Yodoy mound.

Ero- ion has worn a small part of this nound away, but the most of it re- nains at the western edge of the permanent landmark aud one of the ineat Indian mounds to he found any- ilace In the county. A larger one, owover, can be seen above the town Grand Island, Yolo county. Near the Yodoy mound on Grand Bland there was so dense a growth trees that the sun never shone on he ground and the Knight children vere often driven into the shelter of heir frail home on hearing the fierce of the grizzly bear in this dense hlcket. One morning Mr. Knight awoke to Ind that a yoke of his oxen had stray- away during the night.

Ho started in earch of them, traveling over that tart of the county between Knights Banding and Cache creek. He found he oxen nearer home, but on his ourney he succeeded in killing 16 elk. On an improvised sled he and some ndlans that were with him brought ome of them home. It was an event- ul morning, for on his return home ie found that his frail house had been estroyed by fire. His neighbors soon ollected, among whom was Mr.

S. TJ. 3hase, now a resident of Capay valley, ut down trees, and soon had a sub- tantial log housp built. This afterwards met the same fate as the flrst. What is supposed to he the best pre- erved adobe house in the county tands about 3 miles north of Capay, the grant known as the Hancho Canada de Gapay.

Its identity la still 'reserved, although a frame addition ias been added to it. The flrst cabin on this grant was )ullt by Mr. W. L. Todd, Wm, W.

loulette, G. J. Scott and his brother, W. W. Scott, and here let me relate an ilstorical incident connected with this ncldent: A grantholder of Suisnn named Armijo had succeeded in raising a few cres of wheat.aml as he had no means harvesting it except by cutting It hand with he and some of his men started for Grand Island to capture some Indians to harvest his vheat.

They made their way to the above referred to, where they veve joined by its occupants. On tlielr they stopped at Mr. Gordon's esidence. This was in 1846 and war vas raging between the United States and Mexico, but no blow had yet been struck in California. General Vallejo was in command of a company of five Mexican soldiers at the Sonoma mission, which had been converted into a fort.

When the party above mon- met at Mr. Gordon's they were Informed by him that Captain Merritt would on the following day take Sonoma. This little party, Increased by Mr. Knight and others, joined Merritt at Sonoma. This was the first town captured from the Mexicans in Call fornia.

The five Mexican soldiers were taken prisoners to Butter's Port and on the 14th of June, 1846, this little band men proclaimed California a free and independent republic, and on that day hoisted their flag known as the "bear flag." This flag was designed and executed by W. L. Todd one of the Yolo county party, and Is preserved by the California Pioneer Association. Passing to the discovery of gold characters in our county are too numerous to mention. Among these is one whose name is connected so closely with the attempted building of a city that it is worthy of mention Jonas Spect conceived the idea of making a fortune by establishing a town at the head of navigation on the Sacramento river as a distributing poini of supply for the mines.

He noticed a heavy bar at the mouth of Feather river, aud on the high land on the op posite side In Yolo county he pitched his tent and named the place Fremont in honor of the pathfinder. A store was started, a hotel opened and tin place sprang up as if by magic. To give some idea of the importance the place, at the territorial election held November 13. 1849, the year be fore California became a state. Fremont cast 102 votes while all the res of the county east but 92.

But the for tunes of cities were as changeable then as the fortunes of men; the inhabit ants abandoned their city lots and dispersed, and In time nothing remain ed of Fremont but the name. It is of historical value to know tha Fremont crossed the county. The lire time was when he was recalled, at the time of the bear flag incident, whili on the road to Oregon on a govern ment mission. On his way back and while attempting to reach Sonoma he crossed the river nt Knights Land ing, made his way to Mr. Gordon's and was piloted across the mountains by a son of Mr.

Wm. Gordon, Mr. John Gor don, now a resident of Capay Valley. Ho again crossed the county will 180 men on his way from Sonoma to Suiter's Fort, going by way of Knights Landing on the very day that Sloa captured Monterey. In conclusion iet me draw a menta picture of a few of these early settlers as they are today.

Closely nestled at the foot of tin hills In Capay Valley, about four mile from Gulnda, In a comfortable cabin which Is a veritable gallery of polltlca celebrities and historical scenes, found the venerable Mr. S. U. Ohase Ho Is tenderly cared for by a devotee niece and her husband. Ho sits helpless In a chair, his mind at times clear and again wandering over his early experiences in Yolo county.

On the other side of the valley abou four miles from this humble cabin found Mr. John Gordon, son of Mr Wm. Gordon, the flrst settler In the county. Two scrubby trees sheltero; a light frame dwelling, and under these trees I met this other pioneer of our county quietly smoking a cigarette, typical of the Mexican blood that shows eo plainly In every feature. The closing chapter of theao two men's lives, la in keeping with their early Immigration Into Yolo county; Iho one, the sturdy trader coming from the north, ending lilt days In rude cabin; the other, a native ol the sunny south, calmly awaiting the end quietly roiling or smoking'a cigarette.

Again let me picture to you a gentle lady who still retains the hospitality peculiar to pioneer lifer-Mrs. J. W. Snowball of Knlghta Landing, ft daughter of William Knlght.the second settler of Yolo county. She Is spending the declining years of her life in sight of the Yodoy mound, where her father brought her at the age of 8 years.

She lives among the scones of her early eventful life and recounts with wonderful accuracy Incidents of those stirring times. When I looked at these people whose lives are so closely connected with the early history of our county, noting their bent forms and gradually fading recollections, the fact was Impressed upon me that we have neglected the opportunity of gathering from many who have been called away, the personal reminiscences that make unwritten history so much more Interesting than condensed historical those not always authentic. THE WEATHEB. The cloudy weather which the slg- lal service forecast for Wednesday night and today developed Into gentle ihowers. The rain fell slowly but iteadily all morning and the signal iorvice predicts a continuation tonight 1 and Friday.

The weather 1s warmer. On Monday many farmers began ilowlng but the present showers will make it necessary for them to suspend iterations, temporarily at least. The river at Sacramento registers 10 feet and 6 inches. IN MISS ANDREWS' HONOE. Miss Zoe Hager entertained a few riends last Friday evening at a "600" at her home in honor of Miss Norah B.

Andrews, formerly official ourt reporter of Woodland, but now Redding. The evening was enjoyably spent with cards and music, after 'hlch light refreshments were served, he guests departing at a late hour ind declaring they had had a tfelight- ul County Republican. SICK HEADACHE. This distressing ailment results from a disordered condition of the stomach. All that is needed to effect a cure is a lose or two of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
