Remember how, last May, the U.S. Census Bureau’s of a rise of ten per cent, and demanded a recheck? stuck to its guns. Our greatest competitor for tourist trade and _ settlers ne re our one per cent decrease! ing inducements. Or maybe California has been a little too reckless about taxing people so heavily, which certainly discourages the influx of those with any money. A notable contrast is that Florida prohibits a personal income tax except by vote of the people, while California's legislature alone can enact one, and did-exactly that at its last session. . Perhaps prospective settlers want direct control over their own incomes, and favor states where economy and retrenchment, rather than new taxes, are the order of the day. In any case, the mora! it all is clear. Our population will continue to grow and cur state to move toward a greater future only if we guard against the temptation to rest on past and overconfident.

Millions From The East CS (Contributed) Another of those little-known but’ rather astonishing facts about California came to light the other day, this one in a report drawn up by the Save-the-Redwoods League. Did you know that people who live in far away New York have given sums. totalling $2,640,500 ‘in recent years toward preserving California’s redwood trees _ in parks or memoria! groves? From Massachusetts, Connécticut and I]linois, too, and from people scattered over the nation, have come sums ranging from $10,000 to $40,000. Offhand, one wouldn’t imagine that citizens of what are, in a way, rival states, would give so generously to perpetuate one of the greatest attractions of another state. But unusual things happen to California. The report-on this was part of the Redwood League's effort to insure success of the November ballot initiative prohibiting: tideland oil drilling. The measure, while protecting beaches, also permits the state to collect adequate royalties from slant drilling into submerged oil pools, and half these royalties will go to the state fund, now nearly exhausted: The idea of telling Californians about the millions which ment figures for the entire state will soon be available, there is considerable interest~#m what these will show concerning Whether our_popylation is going down or up, or barely holding its own, is more of a moot point these days than you ficial estimate said our. population had dropped 35,000 since the last census, how California objected, said there had been Well, the Bureau made a recheck of its figvires, found no mistakes, and The part that rankles is that the Bureau figures Florida, with money to invest, had shown a ten per cent increase against Despite the argument, the fact we have to face is that Florida's population is definitely rising, while there’s still a. question about ours. Perhaps Florida is outdoing us in offerdeath rate of Indians at all the missions, two severe epidemics of measles at Mission Dolores, the last one in 1806, did much to decimate the ) insula. At last Governor Sola suggested that ailing Indians be transferred across the bay to what now is Marin* county where a milder climate prevailed. As an experiment several neophytes were sent over and their health was greatly improved. Fr. Comisoria Prefecto Vicente Francisco, de Serria approved of the idea, but hesitated to permit large numbers of Indians to be moved to the Marin district because :communication was difficult and were lacking. ‘ However, says Fr. Englehardt, mistes on without the northern receiving short had. died the Last Saerament, Fr. Sarria’ sought a way out of the dilemma, At this time there was at Mission Purisima Concepcion the learned Fr. Luis Gil y Taboada, who was versed in medical science. Hearing of the situation confronting Ir. Sarria at Dolores, Fr. Luis offered to reside at Dolores as a supernumerary and there tend the sick across the bay. from to at. The offer;of Fr. Luis was accepti ranks of the neophytes at this station and on the San Francisco penmissionaries . “On October 31st thé expeiitier departed from its northward course and turned to the west, according to Fr O.rdaz, until it came to the which range extended from north to south and terminated in the region of Bodega, then in possession of the Rushians. An Indian attack at night was repulsed by the explosion of a grenade. Next day after holy mass the return march was begun = ani continued southward over the mountains for niné days. No distances are given, so-it is impossible to trace the route; but the explorers experienced great difficulties. Many horses died, and four pack mules fell down a precipice.
