26 EVENTS IN THE COUNTIES BORDERING ON THE BAY OF SAN FRANCISCO PLEA IS MADE TO HONOR FREMONT Poet of the Sierras Addresses Audience at School Bearing Path Finder's Name Fund Is Being Raised to Place Bronze Bust of Explorer in, Front of Building Jan. life of the soldier, statesman and path finder. John C. Fremont, who made history in California before It was a state and declared. Independence from Mexico, was the subject of an address tonight by his admirer and friend, Joaquin Miller.

The talk was part of the program nt the high school bearing the explorer's name and was given in aid of the campaign to raise funds to purchase a bronze hust of the explorer to be placed in front of the Miller, In opening his address, spoke of Fremont as one.of the greatest men who ever When Miller was, a boy lis father, who knew Fremont well, corresponded with Fremont. Thus the name of-Fremont was to The father of mother, John D. Witt, and Daniel Boone were first cousins. Kit Carson, who accompanied Fremont on his trip across the 'continent, which took him into Oregon and later into California, was 'related to Boone and this relationship and the friendship Fremont had for Miller's father caused Fremont and Miller to become close friends. MILLER TELLS OF HARDSHIP "When Fremont first came to California lie and his party'traveled in the because of the scare: of water In the plains," said Miller.

"From my home on the heights I can-show you the path that Fremont trod. And it was near the spot where 1 have raised a monument to Fremont, which I call the tower, that he beautiful Golden gate, and because; of its resemblance to the horn of! the Hellespont named It Golden gate. Years later his widow. Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, who died some years ago in Los An- geles, came to visit me.

As she walked about my grounds and saw the splendid view they gave of the Golden gate, she told me that it was there that her husband had stood when he named the picturesque entrance into San Fran- cisco bay. "I suggested that some monument be erected to commemorate this event, and "she told me that he had always been opposed to display, and that If anything were done, Just one big rock with his name carved In it, or a pile of stones, would be about what he wished. And I had her wishes carried out. FREMONT LOVED THE HILLS "Writing to me from Los Angeles in 1896 Mrs. Fremont said: 'Mr.

Fremont in later years would point out to me when we went upon one of our rides the Contra Costa hills and tell of their beauty, known only to horsemen. He loved great bare rocks. When a New York friend wrote to me of an Intended monument to the general I asked that they spare him sadly unmeaning atones that usurp our finer Ideas. If they must, then put up a great rough map of granite, and carve his name In it. He felt the strong.

immovable power that grasped the heavens and the earth and on It put only his "Upon another occasion Mrs. Fremont wrote to me: "When Bierstadt, the painter, came to California study its scenery (and, the Rocky mountains en route)" we.gave him letters to Starr King and other friends. was about April, 1843. In giving him a'commision to paint for us the gate with the setting sun lighting the.pathway I clearly remember saying he must see the sunset' from the Contra Costa hills, he had to the force and splendid appropriateness of the name in its scenic sense, apart from the other Idea of the gateway 'of commerce. Bierstadt painted a grand picture.

When we had to sell what would bring needed money Commander Garrison bought it tor $4,000, just what we had given Biers! POET SAW BIERSTADT PAINTING cr.n remember early in' the sixties w.hen 1 first came into the hills 1 make "my home. The country hare Of trees. I noticed an artist busy at a picture, and it was Bierstadt painting the gate. Then and there 1 purchased part of the property which' I and have -since planted thousands of trees and; made it a paradise. "In reference to the Bierstadt picture 1 wish to tell you of another, drawn by the first great' artist who elver came to California He met Mrs.

Fremont in California and the artist wished to paint the picture Of Fremont. No suitable canvas was to be had. so Jewett hit upon the idea of painting the likeness of the great soldier and statesman upon a French table cloth. And this was the only picture of Fremont which was ever painted. It was given to me; by Fremont and for many years it hung upon the wall in 'my mother's house on the heights.

After her death I had it sent to Berkeley, because I feared it might be stolen, and it is still' there. I intend: to: secure this unique picture and give it to this school, where it should occupy a place of prominence. I think this would be a much better souvenir of Fremont than the bronze bust you Intend to PATHFINDER WAS MODEL MAX "The letters which I have from Mrs. Fremont and from which: I have read extracts to you I shall' also' turn over to the school. It Is unfortunate that I should have of the letters.l had from Fremont.

They would have shown'more clearly than anything else the splendid type of man he was. He never drank, smoked or swore. I member that upon one occasion a stranger was visiting him. It'was at 'dinner and the stranger started to tell "a story which Fremont thought was not proper. He immediately got f.

Miller told of the Fremont expedition, which started in Fremont placed in charge by In law, Thomas H. Benton. The expedition was to protect, Oregon from the English at the time war was Fremont'made in the winter, lie arrived in Oregon, and down to the mouth: of the Columbia river, i.where he petroled country until fear of attack was abated. He returned to the east of the Oregon Sierrass and traveled along'- the foothills' until he Joaquin Miller Sounds Praise of Trail Blazer Tower erected by Joaquin Miller on spot where John C.

"Fremont then explored the country to find a new route to Oregon. He went into the Klamath country, where he was attacked by Indians. Just before the attack he received mail which informed him; of war between the United States and Mexico and ordered him to return to California.

The Indians were routed and Fremont with his depleted force returned to Fort Sutter. 1 BEAR FLAG RAISED "Shortly after this he raised the bear flag and declared California a portion of the United States. He took Commander Vallejo prisoner, captured the towns Santa Barbara and Los Angeles with a force of several hundred men and sent dispatches by Kit Carson to "The rest of Fremont's life was equally Interesting. He was one of the first United States senators from California 'and was prominent In drafting the constitution of the state. On account of delays ln admitting the state to the union he served but one year at Washington and after that devoted his I time to developing the resources of the famous Later he lost this.

He waa the first candidate for president of new republican party In 1856. He won distinction as a general in the civil war and was In public life until 188 WIFE WAS A GREAT AID "No story of Fremont Is complete without a word or two about his wife. She was the daughter of Thomas H. Benton, and through all Fremont's trying labors and during the times he was under fire, which were many because of the petty Jealousies of men opposed to him, she was faithful and always a believer in his actions. It related that when Benton was was a suitor for his daughter's hand he said: sir, I will, not.

I will give him To this Mrs. Benton, who was present, replied, 'Better give him And he got Jessie. "One thing which I have often observed Is this: It Is the custom to raise monuments to our great men and to show them other honors. Fremont has been absolutely overlooked. There la no monument to him.

No city, town, river or even public building is named after him. Outside, of this school I know in no which his name is, commemorated excepting the tower I have constructed for him. on the heights. 1" I suggest.that something be done' at this late day to remedy this." A large sum of money was added to the fund tonight and It is probable the bronze bust will, be purchased the near future.

Norbom, the mining engineer and resident of Berkeley, who met his death the afternoon of Friday, January 13, on the ferry boat Berkeley, was accidentally killed as the result of "an explosion of a vial of nitroglycerin, which he carried in his pocket. The evidence given by the witnesses showed that- Norbom was "injured: in the back and that, floor the lavatory, where explosion" occurred, was not damaged. It.was deduced from this that Norbom had the explosive" on his and that it went off by being struck by the swinging doors which, Norbom passed.

John Bermingham a powder expert, said, that he. examined the hole in the, ferry boat made the explosion, and from the description of the smoke given him, was apparently caused by six or eight ounces of nitroglycerin.
