SANTA CRUZ SENTINEL-NEWS, SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA Sunday, December 7, 1911 CIRCUIT EMEMER Politics Hawaiian History In Santa Cruz First Resident Of Watsonville Garbage PAGE TWELVE Cielito Undo Lodge First Oranges Appear In Danish Stores After Much Trouble, Article Is Published By LAURA RAWSON Hawthorn Leaves, official publication of Milwaukee-Downer college Alumnae association, asked one of its alumna, Mildred Southmayd Fowler, wife of an Englishman, living in London, to write some of the experiences of herself and family for its pages. Mrs. Fowler-is a niece of Henry Becker of Van Ness avenue, this city. POLITICS IS HERE Those who belong to the there's-nothing-doing-in-politics-yet school of thought should take account of the activities of Worth Brown of Capitola. Worth is past president of the Republican Assembly, a state-wide group which parallels the Republican party organization at many points but is careful not to touch it.

Just now Mr. Brown is chairman at large of a committee which is lining up next year's candidates for state and congressional races. The committee is well spread, with a member from each congressional district in California. The task is not one of finding aspirants for office, which is never a difficult job, but of sifting out qualifications and vote-getting ability to make sure that the party will swing solidly ino the state's elective posts in 1942. OUT FOR 1942 VOTES Another evidence that politics is already with us was the testimonial dinner at the St.

George hotel Tuesday night for State Board of Equalization Member George R. Reilly. The banquet was attended by 200, with present and past office hold' ers legislative, county and municipal at the head table and a remarkable number of others whose business requires dealings with the state board of equalization. A local committee headed by Mayor Rich, with members selected on a strictly non-partisan basis, sponsored the banquet, but much of the leg work, not to say brain work, in its planning and execution, was done by Jack South, public relations officer of the board of which Reilly is a member. A photographer flashed his camera at a dozen Santa Cruzans shaking hands with the engaging young Irishman who frankly admitted he Waterman Switch Re-Line Project Still In Budget Protest from Chambar of Commerce officials in the San Lorenzo valley Saturday morning on the failure of the joint highway committees of Watsonville and Santa Cruz Chambers of Commerce meeting in Watsonville Thursday to include the Waterman Switch project in the proposal for new work on highway construction in the 1943-45 biennium state highway budget, was answered today by Chairman Lloyd Bowman and State Senator Ray Judah, who are members of the joint committee.

"The meeting at Watsonville only discussed new work to be done under state auspices in the forthcoming biennium," the committee members said. "The Waterman Switch job as far as the committee knows is still in the -budget and will remain there although recently delayed with scores of other projects in California due to the action of the state commission in curtailing work in order to conform to rising prices on highway contracts throughout California. The past policy of the state highway commission in the matter of deferred projects has always been to reinclude them in the next following budget, but in any event the Santa Cruz committee will see to it that this important Waterman Switch project will be brought to the attention of the highway commission for inclusion in the 1943-45 budget, if for no other reason than the fact that several times now due to abnormal conditions in the state this project a beautiful grove of redwood and oak trees virgin type three patios, and a beautiful interior. This includes hand-wrought ironwork throughout, originally done by John Otar. There will be facilities for a 100-person dance floor, with an equal seating capacity of that number about the colorful barbecue pits.

Artesian wells are a final touch to the outdoor picture. At the lodge there will be accommodations for a limited few. Parties and weddings will be the specialty. The new lodge is already slated for a gathering of the state Hotel Greeters, who will hold a Christmas party there Dec. 14.

It was the former Walter Cockcroft home. In addition to the lodge, there will also be operated on the same site a gift shop, specializing in Mexican oddities and gifts. hard for the young girl, there is never, a murmur of complaint from her. They had a number of servants, well trained, but now their housemaid's husband is a soldier; their housemaid is a refugee Austrian Jewess, and their cook is Dutch. Mrs.

Fowler writes to her uncle, about their rationing food, clothing, and of the great amount of planning it takes to keep a big household fed. There are always some R. A. F. fliers in the home, for they are made to feel welcome.

The family is busy portioning their clothing budget; as yet they have not used their "rations," and are trying to eke out some kind of a Christmas treat for each member of the household. Packages of American garden seeds, sent by some thoughtful California friends, have brought them the greatest pleasure, as well as being most helpful in solving their food problems. ORCHIDS They formerly grew rare orchids, but all but the hardy ones are gone now and they grow these in the center of beds, and plant carrots, radishes, onions, etc, around them, and find they made a beautiful bed of orchids and colorful vegetables. The vegetables have been grown with such success that their gardener is going to grow them under glass all winter. Corn on the cob has been a big treat to Mrs.

Fowler, an American girl. Although family life is badly disrupted, and they all have to take refuge in their cellar when raids are on, they remain most optimistic about the outcome of the war, for England will win, they say. "We just live each day as it comes," she writes. Ey United Press COPENHAGEN The first! Christmas oranges appeared in Danish stores today. The price was six crowns per orange.

Before the war the price was 20 oranges for one crown. (lhe Danish crown had a pre war value of about 20 cents). has been deferred." The meeting at Watsonville, as explained by the Santa Cruz com mitteemen, was a preliminary to other meetings to be held at which all of the chambers in the county will participate and was devoted almost exclusively to a discussion of the proposed extension of the Watsonville-Santa Cruz highway trom LaSelva junction to Santa Cruz because of the fact that it has just been discovered that this section of road falls within the listed projects by the Federal Bu reau of Roads as a strategic high way. Money for these strategic- highways coming from federal sources must be given prior at tcntion by the state highway com missions. The Pacific Coast business boon will carry activity another 10 per cent higher during the next sixi months, according to a San Fran cisco investment firm.

This was nearly a year ago. She made a second attempt and it is this interesting letter which is published in the October, 1941, issue, of Hawthorn Leaves. The article came through censored, but unmarked. She writes, in part: "Little did we think when the war was over (first world war), that we would see England in another during our lifetime. But the shadow of it has been over us for so long, that it was almost a relief when it came.

EXPERIENCES Mr. Fowler had bitter experiences in troublesome times in China, and when he came home hoping to fight for his country i.i the last war, the trip was just a succession of hair-breadth escapes, culminating in a Zeppelin dropping six bombs on either side of the ship, and setting fire to it." Mrs. Fowler tells of her pride in the mass of windows which their home boasted, but she found them a difficult task to "black out." They converted their cellar into as comfortable a bomb retreat as possible. The Fowlers have a palatial home and their beautiful grounds cover a wide area. They immediately offered their home as headquarters for their stretch of the Thames river, and have also made it the headquarters for A.

7 A new Santa Cruz county establishment, beautiful "Cielito Lindo Lodge," will be in full swing here shortly with a prevue of activities scheduled for this afternoon and tonight. Announcement of purchase of the beautiful 35-acre grounds and Spanish type house last week from D. A. Currlin of Oakland was made yesterday by Allene P. Hawkins, proprietor of Santa Cruz Beach Hill Inn.

The house and property, the former cockcroft estate 12 miles from Santa Cruz off the Watsonville highway, will be converted into a "lodge" which will specialize in wedding parties with ceremonies and receptions on the grounds and which will feature dinners, especially "Chicken Hacienda." There will be no bar. The property is among the most beautiful locally, including 12 rooms, which will be the first Class A struc ture of the USO west of the Missis sippi, and third in the United States. Uncle Sam proposes to build 166 more of them. Santa Cruz can cherish its hopes. FEDERAL AUTO TAX Uncle Sam decided some months ago to soak every automobile owner $5 a year for the privilege of buying well taxed gas and parts but he is still wondering how he'll collect it.

A private company which sells mail ing lists is readv to furnish the name of the owner of every registered motor car in the country, at a cent and a half each. First clans were to have each own er step into the post office and pay his $5. As a matter of fact, it will be $2.09 next February 1, to run to the end of June, and then $5 for the following 12 months. Now the house appropriations committee has refused the $4,502,554 which the treasury department said the bureau of internal revenue would need to collect the estimated $160,000,000. Should all difficulties of this sort be ironed out, the next question is whether city or county officers will be asked to help in enforcement of navment.

Will thev be requested to arrest each driver whose car does not bear the windshield sticker which Uncle Sam proposes to give as a receipt?

6 to 10. NOTICE TO CREDITORS iq nut fnr vntps HAWAIIAN HISTORY History of Hawaii was sought in Santa Cruz last week. Ross H. Gast, formerly of the islands but now of Los Angeles, spent a couple of days with Mrs. Arista Mellor and other descendants here of Lyman Swan and Mrs.

Antoinette de Paul Marie Swan, who came here in the late 1850's, and whose residence of those days is the Lippi's Shack on Cath-cart street, of today. Mrs. Swan, born in the Hawaiian Islands in 1832, was daughter of a Spanish father and a mother of Scotch and English parentage. The bit of history of which trace was sought by Mr. Gast was a diary known to have been kept by Mrs.

Swan's Spanish father, which, he said, would, if found, fill in a gap in Hawaiian history. PANEOLA MEANS COWBOY Mr. Gast had an interesting comment on the story of two Santa Cruzans of a century ago, Felipe and Joaquin Armas. The Armas brothers came here from Hawaii about 1844. Joaquin died in 1853, leaving a will saying he owned property in the Sandwich Isles acquired by working for the king of the realm.

Felipe removed to Pescadero about 18G8. Concerning Felipe, Col. Albert S. Evans, in a book, "A La California, Sketches of Life in the Golden State," published in 1873, said: "Armas remembers that when King Ka-mehameha I of Hawaii found that the cattle which had grown up wild on his islands had become an unbearable nuisance and sent over to this country for vaqueros to kill them off, he, Armas, was selected as one of the party." "There were five cowboys sent over to Hawaii by the Mexican authorities of California, but their names have been lost," commented Mr. Gast.

Told of the two Santa Cruzans (Felipe was named justice of the peace here in 1850) who were of that party he made note of their names for further research on the subject. "There was undoubtedly an attempt at Spanish colonization of the Sandwich Islands just about the time Mexico won its independence," he 6aid. "Some of the Hawaiian words of today show this influence. The Hawaiian word for cowboy now is which is, of course, 'Es-pagnola' or PARENTS UNKNOWN Some of the members of our fine old California Spanish families are being buried here with official records which declare they are of "parents unknown." The law which delegates the duty of preparing death records to the county health department and of preserving the records to the county recorder carries no compulsion of searching all available sources as to their identity. When Joseph Valencia died a few months ago he was allowed to go to rest with an official record that he was "born near Santa Cruz; parents unknown," despite the fact that his christening is on record at the Catholic church and that his mother was Maria de los Angeles Castro, second daughter of Rafael Castro, the patriarch of Aptos, and his father was Nicolas Valencia, a native of Santa Clara, after whom Valencia valley was named.

Another similar case was the death last year of a man recorded as "Ambrose Bia," who was actually Abimiel Jose Loredano Ambrosio Villagrana, born here in 1857 of a father who had been born here in 1824. WRITING NOVEL HERE After being in Santa Cruz for five months following a strenuous two year trip around a war torn world, Mine. Nadie Denie last week left for Los Angele3 to write background material for a novel featuring the rejuvenated nation of Turkey. A poet, a linguist, lecturer and radio commentator, Mme. Denie is also a former Hollywood designer.

She expects to complete within the next two months the book which has been five years in preparation, on which she worked while here. The plot has to do with Turkey after the Kemalist revolution of 1919-23. which she witnessed. ENGLISHMAN IN WATSONVILLE The first resident of Watsonville was an Englishman. Establishment of the fact is credited to T.

L. Mc-Hugh of Brookdale, who has been digging into the records of the federal land commission of the 1850's in pursuit of history of this part of California. Sebastian Rodriguez his name is on the band stand in the Watsonville plaza, you know was a sargento distinguido in the Monterey cavalry when in 1822 he mentioned to Governor Luis Antonio Arguello that a land grant might be a suitable award for military services. He designated the Pajaro flat land which was free grazing ground for cattle from Villa de Branciforte and had no name except that of the river and perhaps that of Santa Teresa as a designation by the padres for an Indian village. No formal title was conferred but ownership was understood while Sebastian, who had been born in 1786 while his father was a member of one of the mission escoltas, continued his army career.

NATIVE OF ENGLAND Captain John B. R. Cooper, a native of England and half-brother of Thomas O. Larkin, United States consul in California, arrived at Monterey in 1826 and, with another Englishman, William E. P.

Hartnell, launched into the cattle business. He viewed Corral itos but found it congested with cattle and rode back to Monterey to close an agreement with Sebastian for use of the fertile Pajaro flat. The lease was for 25 pesos a year, with agreement that Cooper and his partner construct improvements and turn them over to Sebastian when he was ready to quit military service and settle down to ranching. BUILDINGS OF WOOD On high land near the upper end of what is now Watsonville's Main street Cooper in 1828 directed construction of corrals, barns, out-buildings, a grist mill and a house to shelter eight men. He fenced and tilled a plot of 200 varras.

The home, barns and outbuildings were of palisades hewn from trunks of redwoods on Corralitos creek. Roofs were of tule grass and mud. Cooper lived there until 1832 when Sebastian retired with brevet rank of alferez. Sebastian and his wife, Per-fecto Pacheco, and their children they already had ten moved into the establishment to occupy it until 1842, when an adobe replaced it. The grant was not made formal and final until 1837 when Juan Alvarado was governor.

FIRST USE OF LUMBER Residents of San Juan, Monterey, Branciforte and Santa Clara had long used hewn redwoods for rafters and joists in adobe homes. Cooper's palisades of 1828 were probably the first all-wood construction in northern California, and perhaps in all of California. GARBAGE HAULING Salinas city fathers are concerned over a situation which makes it illegal for a hotel to sell its garbage to the owner of a hog ranch. C. E.

Wachtler, the ranch owner, was arrested. Salinas is operating under a contract with a garbage collector which runs until 1944, but the council is making a study of methods in other cities with a view to abrogating the agreement. Wachtler alleges the monopoly given the collector is beyond the powers of the city. CHRISTMAS CATHEDRAL Palo Alto is constructing a reproduction of Amiens cathedral which will be illuminated as part of the city's Christmas decorations. It will have a facade 40 feet high and 35 feet wide.

It will stand near the underpass to University avenue, where it will be visible to Southern Pacific passengers and to highway motorists. SALINAS GETS USO BUILDING Santa Cruzans contributed heavily to the national United Service Organization fund in the hope that one of the soldiers' recreation buildings might be built here. The army camps were not near enough. Salinas, however, close to Fort Ord, will dedicate one next Tuesday Lettuce Goes To Markets PHOENIX, Ariz. Trainloads of lettuce moved out of the Salt River valley to eastern markets at record prices today despite a five-day strike of 2000 packers, broken by return to work of some of the strikers and recruiting of new labor by shippers.
