Mexican grants were the first stable form of land ownership in ~Galifornia, and thus they’ are a subject about which Californians should be informed. The San Francjsco Regional Service Committee has prepared a series of six articles about these grants of which this article is the fourth. General Mariano Vallejo, son of a Spanish army officer wso came to California in'1774, was the recipient of three land grants made during the Mexican regime. Petaluma: Temblee and Suscol, all in the:Sonoma Valley, together comprised 33 square leagues or nearly 150,000 acres. Raised to an army career, Vallejo also distinguished himself as a civil! administrator under ‘both the Mexi-! can and American regimes. He was ie ] ,islature. Governor Figueroa sent ‘him to named for his wife, Francisco Benicia /Carillo, and Vallejo, laid out as a . prospective state ca‘pital. On his three ranchos Vallejo eventually had 50,000 cattle, 24,000 sheep and 6000 horses. He kept 6000 vaqueros 'to look after the stock and 56 Indian servants in his Sonoma home. His first house, a two story tile roofed adobe with upper and lower verandas and a patio, was built on Rancho Petaluma, about four miles ‘from the present city of that name. Clyde Shurtleff of Sacramento, and . After he was ordered to Sonoma this . house was used ‘by his ‘Indian vaquea member of the first California leg. VOLUTEER AIDS WILL INSPECT MEAT MARKETS YOUNG AMERICA DOES ITSBIT, AY Netail meat dealers in Northern California are receiving Visits this! week from volunteer assistants of local OPA Price Panels in a move to. help stores comply with pricing and ; posting Price day. regulations, the Administration announced Office of} . to. A special survey of ‘meat sales ia necessary, according to James J. Boyle, district director, because~-it—is an important cost of liying ,Which presents peculiar compliance problems. A peculiar requirement is that top legal prices for meats ‘be post2d! where buyers can readthem. OPA provides dealers with posters show. ing official prices for different grad,es and cuts of meat. Dealers who-are registered with the local war _ price/ and rationing ‘board will receive a new poster late this month. Others may call at the board for copies. In many small stores, dealers have seemed to have some: difficulty in displaying these posters’ properly. Frequently, the posters are behind the counters, beyond the _ buyers‘ range of sight. Failure of merchants to post price lists where they can be read easily tends to destroy the ‘tbuyer’s confidence in the merchant, and price volunteers will aid dealers in finding methods of overcoming posting problems. itern . Other problems of dealers can not ibe met quite so directly, said Boyle. . The pfoblem of the dealer who . says he is forced to pay, and charge, . illegal prices in. order to obtain meat 'for his customers is an lane. Price volunteers are instructed to obtain facts about this problem , ros. i . In Sonoma Vallejo ‘built a house . which covered most»of a city block. Here he entertained lavishly all the notables who came to California, cluding Generals Grant, and Sheridan. Lachrima Montis, ‘built of ‘brick brought from the Hawaiian Islands, was built. on Rancho Temblec, not far from Sonoma. In the same garden of materials brought around the Horn, Casa (Grande was built in 1849. This''became the family home after: fire destroyed the Sonoma house in 1866. (Casa \Grande, general’s personal (possessions and the 17 acre jpark surrounding it, was taken over ‘by the state in 1833 as a historical monument. Custodian of its valuable relic, until ‘her death in July of this year, was Luisa EugenSherman vivor of Vallejo’s 17 children. iNext: A Northern Grant. Beet Sugar Regulations Modified By OPA Beet sugar processors will no! longer’ be required to set aside a portion of their monthly production for delivery at the direction of the Office of Price Admiinistration, that agency announced today. Heretofore, the sugar rationing regulations have required each beet! sugar processor to set aside 15 ‘per . cent of his monthly production for delivery into (areas designajted by) OPA in order to, relieve shortages! which could not be supplies from }; other sources. However, the improved shipping. shipping situation with fespect to; imports of cane sugar, make it un-. necessary to withhold a portion of! the beet sugar crop for delivery out-j side normal marketing areas, particularly in view of the small size of the prospective 1943 beet crop.
