HISTORIANS MEET.
At the meeting of the Southern Cal
ifornia Historical society yesterday af
ternoon, which took place at the resi
dence of Mrs. Jeanne C. Carr, there was
quite a large and appreciative audience,
and the papers read were of unusual in
terest. The first was by Prof. Frank J.
Polley on The Sociology of the Native
Californian. He described their life and
characteristics from personal observa
tion, and commended them particularly
for their hospitality and generosity to
strangers, noting many good points in
them which are generally overlooked.
Mr. Guinn read the second paper,
which was on the life and character of
the famous hunter and trapper, Jede
diah Smith, who was the first white man
that ever crossed the plains, coming
across the mountains to California in
1826, twenty-two sears before the dis
covery of gold in California. He was
at the head of the Smith. Sublett &
Jackson Fur company of St. Louis, and
was out on a fur hunting expedition,
when the party became short of supplies,
and California being nearer than any
other source of supplies, he determined
to push on across the mountains. He
linally reached Southern California with
his party after great hardships. The
last survivor of the party was Mn War
ner, former owner of the Immense War
ner ranch country in San Diego county,
who died a few years ago at an advanc
ed age. and it was from his lips that Mr.
Guln obtained much of his information.
Another interesting paper was that of
Mr. Barrows on the Lugo Family, fol
b / s< " nelnt<?r estingremlniscenscs
of the family by descendants who were
present.
Mrs. Rose Hartwick Thorpe was pres
ent and made a few remarks. Also the
secretary of the Wyoming Historical so
ciety, who spoke of the work of the so
ciety in that state, and Mrs. Hughes of
Los Angeles gave an account of the
Plaza church in Los Angeles.
Prof. McClatchie and Mrs. Carr also
spoke, and altogether the meeting was
both pleasant and instructive.

whisky with Temescal sour wine is sure
to ferment a fight.
