A telephone message apprised him of the fact that "Aunty Lou" Oliver, who lives with her niece. Miss Delia Cox.

off West Main street behind the Ribinson nursery, "might have something of interest to say about the monument." And indeed she had. Although surprised to see the Stroller, Aunty Lou was as helpful as she could be, and told not only how she was present during the building of the monument, but how for three months she actually "operated" it and thus did her share in putting California on the Back in 1880 the land across tiie highway from Monument Hill, now as bare of buildings as a Siberian steppe, was the Oliver home place, being improved with a small a couple of barns and other farm buildings. The Olivers had come from Missouri across the plains in '59, settled first in Sacramento county, and moved to Yolo county in 1864. The Olivers awoke one morning in the summer of '80 to discover they had new neighbors across the highway. A small tent city had sprung up on Monument Hill almost over night, and some distinguished looking gentlemen, whose rough working clothes could not disguise their professorial dignity, were performing mysterious rites with Held glasses, tripeds, sextants and sage tappings of their noble craniums.

Other and less distinguished looking individuals were doing a less mysterious job with picks and shovels. They were digging. This, then, was one of Uncle Sam's Geodetic Survey camps, about to launch upon the important task of putting Yolo county and adjacent territory in its proper place on the map. Several of the professors in the group roomed and boarded with the Olivers while a first, and temporary, all brick structure was erected. Around the brick monument was erected a little gallery, and a large mirror, adjustable to any desired direction, was put into place.

At the time similar operations were being carried on near Davis, in Sacramento, at a spot along Putah creek, and at varying intervals along the line towards Mt. Diablo. When the Monument Hill job was completed, the surveying group left for other jobs, and to Aunty Lou was entrusted the task of handling the mirror for the purpose of carrying on the interesting process known to surveyors as "heliotroping," thus bearing out the theory advanced in these columns a few days ago by Assistant County Surveyor Williams. For nearly two months Aunty Lou mounted her gallery at 9 o'clock in the morning, worked until one in the afternoon, reported back for duty at three and stayed on the job until sunset. "It was an ideal Aunty Lou told the Stroller, chuckling.

"I just kept my eyes on points about where I knew there were other mirrors, and one or the other of them would flash signals to me by means of the sun's rays, and I would move my mirror in accordance with a pre arranged plan." Heliotroping from the Greek "he lio," meaning sun, and "trope," mean (Continued on Page Eight) The More About Monument Hill. China (By United Press) SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Aug. 2. Russel St. Clair Bietzel, a young civil engineer, was hanged here Friday for the murder of Miss Barbara Mauger, his waitress paramour.
