Slitter Vfl"y By ELMO SCOTT WATSON Nr JANUARY 24 it is exactly 85 years since a crew of workmen, engaged en-gaged In the prosaic task of building build-ing a sawmill on a western river, noticed no-ticed some . glittering particles ln the sand and picked them up to carry them back to their employer. "From that simple circumstance grew one of the most romantic episodes ln the annals .of our nation and before the final links in the chain of cause and effect had been forged the discovery which they made that day had profoundly affected af-fected the social, political and economic history of the whole United States. For January 24, 1848, was the real beginning of "the olden days, the golden days, the days of '49," the beginning of -the first great sold rush ln America, the be-, ginning of an epic migration which has few parallels in history. . Paradoxical as It may sound, the "Days of '49" In" reality began In 1848. But, considering the term In its broadest lnterpretatidn" the title, of "The First of the Forty-Nlners" may Justly be applied to: three jnen-Johann JlugustSutter, James Wilson Marshall and Sam Brannan. Considering Con-sidering the Importance of the movement which they launched, they should have come, to the end of their careers "full of years and honors." But Fate played a grim Joke on this trio, and the end ofaM three was almost a literal proof of the old Spanish proverb, that "He who finds gold, will die in the almshouse." . Let us consider their careers in the order of their appearance on the stage of this romantic drama. First Johann August Sutter, the Swiss adventurer, who had emigrated to America In 1834, went west and in July, 1839, was stranded In the Bay of Yerba Buena (now San Francisco), After making a Journey into the Interior, where he was much impressed with the possibilities of the country, he conceived the scheme of founding found-ing a, colony in the Sacramento valley. California Cali-fornia was then owned by "Mexico and Monterey was the capital. Hastening there Sutter laid his plan before Gov. Juan Alvaredo. He would establish a cordon cor-don of outposts and check the Incursions of hostile hos-tile Indians from the north, he would, gather the peaceful Indians of California together and give them employment and he would bring Kanakas Kan-akas from the Sandwich Islands also to work for hlrn So impressed was Alvaredowtth-Sut-ter's scheme that he gave him a grant of eleven square leagues. So In 1841 Sutter established his colony, which he named New Helvetia or New Switzerland. Within a few years Sutter had wrought a marvelous mar-velous transformation In the raw country. Bridges were built over the streams, roads marked out, marshes drained, wells and' ditches dug, and many other Improvements made. The Mexican government had appointed him governor gover-nor of northern California and he reigned ln NewBelvetla ln feudal splendor over nearly 100,000 acres for Sutter had been very generous with hlmselfJn surveying his "elevefieqnare leguesrnahdtended by several hundred white, Kanaka and Indian retainers. In his pastures pas-tures grazed 12,000 head of cattle, 15,000 sheep and 2,000 horses and mules. Establishing stores he traded from Canada to Mexico and as far east as St Louis. Governor Micheltorena, Al-varedo's Al-varedo's successor, presented him with an additional addi-tional eleven square' leagues. It Is at this point that James Wilson Marshall comes into the picture. Bom In New Jersey, Marshall was originally a wagonmaker by trade but he had heard the call of the West and ,had been a wanderer over A large part of the trans-Mlssisslppl trans-Mlssisslppl region until finally he became an employee of Sutter, a sort of a foreman. Marshall had persuaded Sutter that It was high time for them to quit getting out the lumber which they needed by hewing and whlpsawlng and suggested that they build a sawmill. Accordingly Ac-cordingly Sutter sent Marshall to build a mill off the American river about 40 miles above the fort On the historic morning of January 24 he went to Inspect the mill race and noticed some glittering glit-tering particles In the sand. It might be gold, or it might be only mica. Marshall who knew something about the common tests for gold, subjected sub-jected the particles to tese tests and as the result re-sult began to believe that 'he had actually ' discovered dis-covered some of the precious metal He does not seem to have been very much excited over It, however, for It was not until two or three days later that he made a trip back to the fort to tell Sutter of the discovery he had made. The two men Immediately set to work testing the metal, first with nitric acid, the by balancing It on scales with an equal weight f stiver and placing the scales nnder water. rnwater, the gold dust, having more specific gravity than the silver, pulled down the scales. There was ho longer any doubt in their minds as to what these shining particles were. That night Sutter, as he later said, "felt the curse of the thing upon hint" He and Marshall agreed to keep the matter secret until they could finish the mill and until they could establish claim to the surrounding lands. So Sutter called together the Indians who had a nominal title to v'.;:,V less and travel stained, waving In his hand a flask of gold dust as he shouted, "Gold, Gold, Gold from the American river." Again Sam Brannan was a "first" the first to bring to San Francisco authentic news of the gold discovery. There was a rush to the diggings, Sam's Mormons Mor-mons following his lead again, "as If he had been the Pled Piper," says one chronicler. Within a few- days only seven men out of three hundred were left in the town. By June 2,000 miners were at work near the sawmill, now called Coloma, By July 4,000 were there. - The earliest arrivals were of the better class and Sutter had no trouble witn inem. iuej patronized his stores and purchased all of their supplies from WntrBui when the gold lure drew to California an Influx of men from all corners of the earth, there came more bad men than good, who corrupted his Indians with their deadly dead-ly firewater and Influenced his hitherto faithful employees to desert him. Squatters settled on his lands and Jeered at hlr efforts to dislodge tbem. Hia vineyards were trampled to the stores looted The'49er Memorial ftiLosAnqeles . these lands and from them leased twelve square miles of the surrounding country. Then he sent ah employee aamed Charles Bennett to Monterey to have the lease confirmed by Colonel Mason, the American military governor of California. On the way Bennett, stopping at Benicla, revealed re-vealed the 'purpose of his Journey." Curiously enough, few who heard his' story believed If and only a few went to the American river to Investigate. In-vestigate. - .-- .-- Make way now for Sam Brannan I Who Sutter Sut-ter and Marshall were and what they did Is known to-virtually every American school child. But history has strangely neglected this flamboyant flamboy-ant character. Sam Brannan, who was. If any thing, the most romantic figure of the three. Back in the late thirties and early forties Brannan Bran-nan was a Journeyman printer, a free-lance writer, an editor and a natural born promoter." Also he Joined the Mormon church, when that sect began to flourish, and from an editorial Job on the Messenger, a Mormon propagandist newspaper, news-paper, he soon blossomed out Into a fall -fledged elder In the Church of the Latter Day Saints. About the time of the exodus of the Mormons from Nauvoo, 111, under the leadership of Brig-ham Brig-ham Young for their. Journey westward to find the promised land, Brannan chartered tbejlttle shlD Brooklyn, filled It with some 800 Mormons, and set sail from New York via Cape Horn for California. Late ln July, 1846, the Brooklyn passed through the Golden Gate and Brannan's Mormons were the first American colonists to reach Yerba Buena, the little Spanish settlement on San Francisco bay. It Is doubtful whether Sam was at heart a Mormon, or anything else In a religious way. He was an opportunist of the first water ana uor-monlsm uor-monlsm for his purposes, was as good as any other religion. At any rate, It gave the rovpr a sort of clerical standing and a chance for leadership lead-ership which he was not the man to overlook. In the hold of his ship he had brought witn him' a newspaper plant, the machinery for a flour mIH plows, harrows and other pioneer necessities. ne-cessities. He assumed leadership from the day of "his landing. He preached the first English sermon ever heard there, solemnized the first American marriage on the soil set op the first flour mill and gave the little settlement Its first newspaper, the California Star. Itwasnt long before he cut loose from the Saints. Or, rather, the Saints eot rid of him. A Mormon Bketch of his life says. "His course and haWts were not consistent with the life of a Latter Day Saint and he was disconnected from the churclf But if his career as a Mormon had ended, his career as a California promoter (perhaps ahether historic "first") had Just begun. He got out special edition of his Star, within a, lew months after bis arrival at Yerba Buena, and sent two thousand copies ef the paper overland to the Mississippi valley and the eastern states, extol ling the virtues ofthe country to prospective settlers. Then came March, 1848, bringing with It to Yerba Buena the first news of the discovery of gold on General Sutter's lands. A brief account of the fact was published ln a rival paper, but Brannan's editor was Inclined to discredit the news, as were also most of the new colonists. But to Sam Brannan it was a bugle call to new adventure. He went to the scene f the alleged find and In a few weeks he came galloping back to San Francisco, rushed through tne riaxa nai- ernnnd: his livestock stolen, nis and the Improvements which he had-made-ap-4 tnjrvers-ptlct-hftt-tteleglAi. proprlated for the use of the maaaenea goia lature wm dose its study of the code very sooiyaBattaclr the pron- lem of either passing or rejecting it so that discussion of other legis lation may be started. There has been some dissatisfac tion manifested by members because consideration of vital economic problems was being delayed by the study of the code, "It seems to me that the house Is fiddling while Rome burns," said Representative W. Lamoreoux, In urging greater haste on the part of the lawmakers. Representatives Pope, Salt Lake and Allen of Piute also advocated more speed in arriving at the vital needs of the people. The mechanics of eode adoption Thn ritlpa ta his lands received under tne grants from the Mexican government were not respected and Sutter appealed. In vain to the American authorities. He hrougnt suit against more than 17,000 persons and spent more than $200,000 In prosecuting his claims.

There he made his home and spent his declining years In numerous visits to Washington and In futile attempts to secure justice rrora me rea eral government, which he claimed had allowed him to be robbed during thejgold rush. He died In Washington on June 17, 1880, and he died ln poverty. As for Marshall, he received tne same treat ment from the gold seekers that had been Sut ter's portion. California gave him a pension of f 1 200 a year, then withdrew It4ecause the4eg Islature believed the money was spent In drink to which he had become addicted. In August, 1885, five years after Sutter's death, a lonely, embittered, poverty-stricken old man died In a ramshackle hut In the dying town of Coloma. It was James W, Marshall, ."the man who discov ered gold In California." As for Sam Brannan, he enjoyed a period of irlorv and of prosperity for a time, then the curse of gold overtook him. , With the Incoming flood tides of adventurers nd settlers,.

Blood. The message said, In part, , . . "never since statehood have conditions condi-tions required such rigid applications applica-tions of economy In state expendi tures. The governor suggests the Is suing of $2,000,000 of bonds to meet the deficit now facing the state treasury." Consideration of a limited sales tax on articles non-essential to public pub-lic welfare to raise funds for school purposes and as a means of reducing property taxes is another item of the message. Some other suggestions are : Care ful consideration of the income tax filing fee and provision to. make up the loss of income, should the filing fee be abolished; endorsement of the Income and franchise taxes as a means of reducing the burden of taxation on property, and underscoring under-scoring that part . of the taxj commission com-mission ; report, ... which advocates the repeal of property tax offsets j elimination of non-essentials in ed ucational system to meet changed conditions of Income; banking legislation leg-islation ; continuance of the state's present road policy; change ot law to permit non-partisan Judiciary and non-partisan department of education; ed-ucation; changes advocated in motor mo-tor vehicle law relating to load limits, lim-its, non-resident period of grace increase in-crease in motor truck tax to make this type of traffic carry propor tionate cost of. road improvement and government ; approval of activ ities of state fish and game depart" ment and the department of public health; study of unemployment needed with reference to local units of government doing more toward self-help; ratification of 20th amendment to the federal constitution constitu-tion , abolishing "lame duck" sessions ses-sions ; attention Is directed toward the changing economic trend, as con trasted with that of the period preceding pre-ceding 1929; a survey of the present pres-ent situation shows a serious farm mortgage condition, which would be disastrous If wide scale fore- closures were put into effect.
