"The City.
WALLOUPA 1852
By Hollis Bentley
It was the pale green of early
summer when the oak leaves were
still tender and the grass sprang
from eventhe barest ground, Last
fall's wildflower seeds, planted
by the wind and safe through the
winter cold, were stirring in the
w arming earth and soon would
sprinkle the meadow grass with
color, And pushing their way with
new born strength through the
forest floor of fallen leaves, tiny
heads were appearing ---the offspring of the giant cedar, fir and
pine. On days when even the sun
seemed young and new anda little
pale, the pale days of early. summer, when pale gold shone from
the sky, mineral gold was found in
the earth on Squirrel Hill.
It wasn't new summer that
filledthe miners to bursting with
jubilation and reawakened dreams
of wealth. But the sun felt good
on their backs as they rested and
enthusiastically planned their
future and the great boom town
that would soon rise near Squirrel
Hill, In their minds they sat upon
the site of the greatest gold discovery in California and they
could already see the great city
that would rise beside it. Each
man in his own mind created the
city, with himself either present
and prominent or gone to other
parts but remembered with great
esteem. The four men, sitting on
the damp ground in their workworn.clothes, came upon the
problem simultaneously, and felt
‘ it a serious one: what to name the
city?
"You know," said Jose in his
careful English, “a city should be
named for a great man. Perhaps
a man who is great in a small
way, so that his small greatness
willbe remembered. " He looked
at his fellows for their approval
but saw that his speech had confusedthem. "Well, Iam thinking
of Guadelupe who saved all those
Indios in Grass Valley this winter.
So noble and handsome a man for
a Digger.”
~ “He'sno Digger," Sam began.
"Lookit him---straight and tall.
He's Sioux or something like that.
He just showed up and then disappeared."
“Yeah,” Charlie said softly,
"This Wad-Lu-Pe blew in with
the wind at sunrise after a big
storm, Chief Wymmer says. "
Charlie looked up at the clear sky
and then his eyes scanned the
woods carefully.
"I-wouldn't eat manzanita
berries and grubs the way they.
do," Herman remarked.
"Well, even so," Sam said,
"they didn't have enough of even
that kind of stuff to last ‘em
through the winter. Without this
Waddlepe they would of starved
or tore Grass Valley apart for
food. "
"I heard Wadloop spoke in
French to Hank Waite when he

"Oh, he didnot beg, " Jose said
quickly. "“Guadelupe gave his
word of honor there would be
payment. in gold when spring
came andthe Indios could search
for gold on their lands, “
Herman perked up. “Them Indians came each carrying a
leather bag of gold dust to pay
Hank. Hank told ‘em it was too
much but this Loopy fellow, he —
said gold didn't mean anything
to the Indians but the kind of
good faith Hank had shown meant
life to many of them.”
Charlie said thoughtfully, then
grinned, . “they sure did put on a.
