THINGS FOR THE TABLE September 9 Is 75th Anniversary of Her Admission to Union By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN ALIFOItNIA this year is celebrating the seventy-fift- h anniversary of her admission to the Union. Admission day is September 9, but with characteristic exuberance many cities are throwing In fiestas and paV v geants of their own for good measure. Merely a local affair? Hardly. California may rightly assume that the United States and pretty much all the rest of the world is directly or indirectly interested in her celebration. For all the peoples of the civilized world contributed to the gold rush of 1848-5that made the Golden state almost overnight. The you see, rushed California Into the Union away ahead of her geographical turn. This upsetting of the geographical sequence by the admission of California as the twenty-eight- h state introduced new factors which hastened the development of the Indian country. Out of the demand for communication between the Mississippi and the Pacific came the Overland Mail of the Fifties, the Pony express of 18G0, the Francisco telegraph line St Louis-Saof 18G1 and the driving of the gold and silver railroad spikes in 1SG9 at Ogden each a story in itself. Moreover the ifs of history have a fascination all their own and California furnishes several which will long interest historians: If the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 had rot notified the Russians that further extension of their Pacific coast activities would be regarded as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States" . If the raising of the California Republic" flag by Americans June 14, 1846, had not been followed three weeks later at Monterey by the annexation of California to the United 0 Forty-niner- s, n States If Admiral Seymours British fleet bad arrived at Monterey before Commodore Sloat of the American navy had taken' possession, instead of just after If gold had been, discovered In Cali- fornia during the Mexican war, instead of Just after the region had become ours by conquest and treaty Then, too, the rise and fall of the California missions is of Interest alike to historical student, ieconomist and religionist. Jesuits began the establishment of the missions of Lower California. With their expulsion in 1767, the Dominicans were given the work, while the Franciscans were called upon to begin on upper California. Father Junipero Serra, padre presldente, had founded nine missions along the Camino Real from San Diego to San Francisco when be died In 1784. They prospered. When Mexico secularized the missions of California in 1834 there were 21, with a force of 30,000 Indian neophytes. The padres had about 810,000 cattle, sheep, horses and mules. Their annual grain crop was 245,000 bushels ; their annual income from sales from herds was $550,000. The result of secularization was this : A sufficed to strip the establishments of everything of value and leave the Indians, who were In contemplation of law the beneficiaries of secularization, a shivering crowd of naked and, so to speak, homeless wanderers. Again : California has such a bag of tricks for visitors from ordinary spots. It has, for example, assorted climates at all seasons for all comers. Its just as easy on a summer day to stand on a snowbank on the slopes of Mount Whitney (14,502) and catch steelhead trout in an d lake as it is to cook eggs in the sun In Death valley And at San Diego not even a native son can tell by the. thermometer whether Its Christmas or the Fourth vof July. Then there is Mount Lassen, the only active volcano, and the big trees and redwoods, the oldest and biggest living things on earth, and so on: Californias very name suggests the romance of her early days and her historical beginnings are very old. Cortez, conqueror of Mexico, gave the name to Baja (Lower) California when he made his settlement at La Paz In 1534-5- . California is the name of a fictional island, inhabited by Amazons under Queen Calafla and rich in gold, diamonds and pearls, in an old Spanish romance, Las Sergas de Esplandl-an,- " by Garcia Ordonez de Montalvo few-year- s Ice-col- (1510). In Alta (Upper) California, Cabrillo national monument marks the spot first sighted, by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in June of 1542. He was a Portuguese navigator flying the golden castles of Castile and the- red lions of Leon'. So the flag of Spain was the first to float over the coast. " In June of 1579 a strange ship flying the red cross of St. George swooped down on the coast of Alta California and captured Spaniards, galleons and treasure galore. It was the Golden Hind on her way round the world under that great sea captain, Sir Francis Drake part gentleman adventurer and part pirate. Drake landed north of San Francisco, took possession in the name of England and named the re- gion New Albion. The Russians, blundering down through Behring strait In 1728, prosecuted the fur trade vigorously, established their fortified posts as far south as San Francisco bay and had the Spanish Californians terrorized. The Monroe Doctrine put an end to their one-ha- P'lU-e- An Idaho Case A delicious pie which may be made with other fruit but Is especially good with currants is as follows: Bake the pastry shell and fill with the following mixture crush one cupful of currants, add one cupful o. sugar, the yolks of two eggs slightly beaten and mixed with half a cupful of cold water and two tablespoonfuls of flour; cook until smooth, add a tablespoonful of butter and cool slightly before pouring Into the baked shell. Cover with a meringue using the two egg whites nnd three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Brown in a moderate oven and chill before serving. Canfield String Beans. Slice the beans and put to cook using a tablespoonful of butter for each pint of sliced beans, 'book until well heated through, browning and stirring carefully while cooking. Add a little water and simmer for an hour, then add milk and a tablespoonful of ' flour to thicken and cook until the flour is w'ell blended. . Serve, seasoning with salt and pepper. Tomatoes Stuffed With Cucumbers. Prepare the tomatoes by scooping out the centers; save the tomato for other sauces or dishes. Dice fine a cucumber or two and mix with a finely minced onion, add a good qalad dressing and fill the tomato cups. Serve on lettuce. A potato salad is not half as appetizing If it lacks the flavor and crispness of a diced cucumber. Stuffed Eggs. For a supper dish on a hot night or for a luncheon dish, eggs are especially good. Cook in the shell and when cold remove the shells, cut into halves, remove the yolks, mash and season them with salt, cayenne, butter or cream, refill the halves and arrange on a deep platter.
