The reason which caused Captain Weber to desire the location of his proposed grant on the " up country side of the San Joaquin river," was due to the political intentions of those pio- neers which in 1843 had assuined so definite a form as to have caused the question to be dis- cussed among them where the division line was to be drawn between the Mexican provinces and

the territory to be taken from them, in case it should result in that extreme measure; and the conclusion had been tacitly arrived at that the San Joaquin river and the bays of San Francisco, San Pablo and Suisun were to form the line of division. Thus it may be seen that a strong reason for choosing a locality north of the San Joaquin was to secure land where one conld gradually concentrate his property within the limits of the country to be acquired. Another reason for selecting this special locality was the facilities it would give one for dealing with the Hudson Bay trappers who made their headquar- ters every winter at French Camp, from whom, in exchange for fur, he obtained ammunition, blankets, clothing, etc., of a better quality and at lower figures than could be obtained elsewhere at that time.
The attempt to settle the expected grant failed because of the fears of Gulnac, and the Captain obtained a passport from the alcalde of San Jose, and proceeded to visit Sutter's Fort, with a view of seeing the Indian chief, and making a treaty of peace with him, if possible. After arriving in the country, an Indian runner was sent to. find the chief, and ask him to meet the Captain at a given time and place. A meeting was ar- ranged, and at the appointed time the two men, representatives of their races in the country, met. Captain Weber explained his plans to the Indian, stating that he was desirous of settling on land in the San Joaquin valley; that the Americans were desirous of being liis allies and friends; that they were not coming to injure nor rob, but as friends to aid and benefit his tribe; that he wished to settle here to be beyond the reach of the Spaniards, in case of trouble between the Americans and native Californians, against whom this celebrated chief was waging an endless war. The result was a friendly alli- ance that remained unbroken to the end. The chief advised the building of the American village at the point where it was located, the present site of Stockton, and agreed to provide all the help necessary in the tilling of the soil, and to furnish a war party when called upon
to defend the settlers' property against either Indians or Mexicans. The Captain was gener- ons in his presents, and a friendship was started at the interview that lasted during the life of Jesus, and the Captain ever remembered the Siyakumna chief as one of his most reliable and valued friends of early days.
This great Siyaknmna chief believed that he and his people had been wronged by the Span- ish, and he would never smoke the pipe of peace with them. He would swoop down upon the plains and carry off their stock, taking it to his stronghold in the foot-hills of the Sierras; and if the missions or settlers of those valleys saw fit to attempt a rescue, he fought them, and was universally victorious. The San Joaquin river divided his territory from the Californians, and when east of that stream he was upon his " na- tive heath;" and it was rare indeed that the pur- sners followed him into his own country. They had learned better in their battle on the banks of the Stanislaus in 1829, when Estanislao, the former chief of the Siyakumnas, defeated their combined San Jose and Yerba Buena forces.
It will be seen that Jose Jesus was so circum- stanced as to receive favorable advances from a people who gave as one of their reasons for de- siring his friendship, the probable hostility that might in the future exist between them and the Spanish people of the country. He believed that he was strengthening himself against his old foe. It will also be observed that the line beyond which the native Californians, even in armed parties, found it dangerous to pass, was the San Joaquin river. Beyond this it was con- sidered and understood by them to be savage and inhospitable wilds. Jesus had made them respect that river as the practical north bound- ary line of their territory.
In December, 1847, the Polo Indians from the mountains crossed the San Joaquin river and stole a quantity of horses from Liverinore and Dr. Marshe; and those gentlemen sent to Captain Weber a statement of the fact, and asked him to nse his influence among the tribes and see if he could not recover their stock. The
40
HISTORY OF SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY.
Captain sent a runner to his friend Jesus, ask- ing him to search for trails, and from his man- ner of reading signs tell him what tribe had taken the stock, and where to. In due time a response came, and an expedition was fitted out, consisting of a party of whites and the chief of the Siyakumnas, with his warriors, all under the command of Captain Weber. They struck im- mediately for the head-waters of the Calaveras. When they reached what was later known as Murphy's camp they found the horses, and a battle ensued, resulting in the destruction of a conple of Indian villages, the killing of some hostile Indians, and the recapture of the stolen horses. The expedition returned in February, 1848, and the chastisement they had given the Polos was effectnal in putting a stop to further raids by Indians upon the settlers.
Immediately after the return Captain Weber planned and commenced preparations for an expedition to move in May up the San Joaquin valley, to chastise a tribe of Indians known as the Chowchillas, whose range was beyond the present town of Merced. They would not enter into any treaty of peace with the Americans, and openly declared their hostility. Sutter was to furnish twenty men, San Jose forty, and the Captain was able to raise about thirty in his part of the country. Jesus was to furnish 200 warriors under his own command; but before the different quotas of the expedition assembled at any rendezvous for the campaign, news reached Tnleburg that gold had been discovered, and the Chowchillas escaped being whipped into a friendly feeling for the Americans. The failure of the movement was the cause of the loss of many a miner's life in after times.
MEXICAN CUSTOMS.
The old California families residing here at the time of the American occupation were lav- isli in their expenditures, and princely in their hospitalities. They had a vast amount of prop- erty, but little money, as their remoteness from the commercial world cut off occasion for the use of money. To the stranger arriving at their
adobe dwellings they would say most heartily, you are welcome to the use of all you see liere. If the visitor should express admiration for a valuable horse or a beautiful work of art, whichi perhaps might have descended through gener- ations, his host would immediately say in the most courtly manner, " At your service, sir; take it; take it." It was not, of course, in- tended that the visitor should walk off with the horse or tile valuable work of art, but it showed the spirit of hospitality that prevailed among the old time, easy going Mexican descendants of the better class.
Prior to the iuflux of the gold-seekers the vast stretcli of country west of the Sierras was a garden of sleepy ease, dotted with scenes of great picnics, grand dances and wild round-ups. Thousands of horses and cattle roamed over the plains almost uncared for throughout the year. Adobe liouses, half castle and half house, nestled twenty or twenty-five miles apart on the high- est points of ground obtainable in the valleys, where the owner, dressed in his light gown and leather breeches seamed with buttons, could look out over the fields. Every family knew every other family. Parties of visitors were almost constantly traveling from house to house on horseback.
At the annual round-ups hundreds of monnted men, with whirling lassos, monstrous spurs, and saddles studded witlı silver filagree, gath- ered from many miles around to divide the year's increase of stock and brand the yearlings; and a great time it was. The picnics were at- tended by parties coming so far as fifty miles sometimes, and wonld often last for days, at which horse-racing and fandangos (dancing to guitar music) were the principal amusements. One favorite pastime was to ride in a circle at a gallop and pull off the head of live chickens buried in the ground. Occasionally, also, an old-fashioned Spanish bull-fight was had.
The white-plastered mud walls of the adobe lionse were topped by a roof of tiles. The floors were often bare, but the better rooms were floored with bricks a foot square. The
41
HISTORY OF SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY.
Californians were a fine, manly people, tall, straight and well formed, and were affectionate and gentle when courteously treated. No bands of robbers ranged the country to disturb the peace, for money was scarce and horses and cattle were too abundant to be worth stealing. Cattle were often killed for tallow alone. Dipped candles were the best light-givers of those times. Meat, milk and corn, were the main articles of food. The corn was pulverized on granite stones, and madeinto slap-jacks, called tortillas.
Home life was held so sacred that lovers had much trouble in getting opportunities to see their sweethearts; and it often happened that two or three of them would club together and get up a ball at their own expense, simply for the purpose of meeting their inamoratas. On such occasions invitations were extended far and wide; and when a marriage was to take place everybody knew it, as it had been an- nounced in the nearest church; and everybody would be present at the feast and ceremony.
But these old Californians, like the Indians, seemed to be unadaptable to the ways intro- duced from the States. Those who are yet liv-
ing are very poor. They sold their possessions cheaply to the gold-seekers and squandered the money they thus obtained, not recognizing the necessity of becoming more industrious and in new lines of work when the population in- creases in density. A few years ago a poorly- clad man came riding into Stockton, with the traditional silver-spangled bridle and saddle as his only relics of pristine luxury. It was Jo- seph Livermore, whose Spanish name was José Positos, given him from his possessions, known as "El Rancho de los Positos" (the ranch of the little pools). His eyes dimmed as he recalled the days gone by and lamented the present. He came to town for the purpose of seeing once more the faces familiar in happier times, and of calling up again the scenes of forty years ago. It was his last ride over the plains on which he used to gallop to the scenes of hilarity, for shortly afterward he died.
When this State was first divided into coun- ties San Joaquin contained the following well- known Mexican families: R. Gonzales, E. Sofia, J. Ma Martinez, J. Ma Carillo, Francisco Duarte, Jose de Lopez and R. Buelna.

THE PIONEER SOCIETY. 9
CHAPTER III.
OVEMBER 21, 1868, tliere appeared in the Stockton daily newspapers the follow- ing notice:
To the Pioneers of the County of San Joa- quin:
Pioneers who arrived in this State prior to the 1st of January, 1851, are respectfully re- quested to meet at the City Hall on Monday, the 23d instant, at seven o'clock in the evening, for the purpose of organizing an association in this city.
MANY PIONEERS. Stockton, November 21, 1868.
A meeting was accordingly hield, at whichi Dr. R. K. Reid was elected temporary chairman and John II. Webster temporary secretary. On inotion of J. B. Hall the temporary officers were declared permanent. A committee of nine persons who had arrived prior to the admission of California into the Union was appointed to draw up plans for the formation of a society, namely, Jolın B. Hall, E. W. Colt, George S. Evans, H. F. Hubbard, Dr. C. Grattan, R. B. Sınith, G. A. Keith, J. D. Spencer and E. H. Allen.
The second meeting was held November 30, at which the above committee reported progress, and short speeches were delivered by Drs. Shirtleff, Holden and Grattan, and Messrs. Masterson, Colt, Peters, Groves and others, giv- ing reminiscences of their experience in the early days. At the third meeting, December 7, a series of resolutions were adopted defining
the limits and conditions of membership, the conditions of the first election under the con- stitution to be adopted, and enumerating the details of business to be transacted until said election. The initiation fee was fixed at $10.
The constitution, which was made up from those of the societies at San Francisco and Sac- ramento, was adopted the same evening, with thirty names subscribed, in accordance with the third resolution, and the following officers were elected: Dr. G. A. Shurtleff, President; E. W. Colt, Secretary; Thomas K. Hook, Treasurer. At the next meeting, J. B. Hall, J. A. Jackson and S. V. Tredway were elected Vice-Presidents, and the following to compose the Board of Directors: B. Howard Brown, Dr. C. Grattan, Jolin Schraick, S. P. Gorham, J. C. White, A. W. Brush, W. Canfield, G. A. Keith and E. W. Atwood.

eligible to membership. Honorary and life members inay be admitted in accordance with the provisions contained in the by-laws.
3. The purposes for which the corporation is formed are: To cultivate the social virtues of its members and unite them by the bonds of friendship; to create a fund for benevolent pur- poses, in behalf of the members; to collect and preserve information and facts connected with the early settlement of California and especially of the valley of the San Joaquin, and with the history thereof, from the time of such settle- ment to the admission of the State into the Union; to form libraries and cabinets, and by all other appropriate means to advance the in- terests and perpetuate the memory of those whose sagacity, energy and enterprise induced them to settle in this country and to become the founders of a new State.
4. The principal business of the corporation will be transacted at the city of Stockton, in the county of San Joaquin, in the said State.
5. The corporation shall exist for the term of fifty years.
6. There shall be ten directors of the corpora- tion, who shall be elected annually by the mem- bers thereof.
Since the date of organization, the presidents of the society have been: G. A. Shurtleff, 1868-'70; Jolın B. Hall, 1870-'71; R. K. Reid, 1871-'73; George S. Evans, 1873-'74; F. W. Todd, 1874-'76; Wm.Graham, 1876-'77; W. F. Freeman, 1877-'78; Henry Adams, 1878-'79; C. Grattan, 1879-'80; John Wallace, 1880-'81; Theodore Lee, 1881-'83; Andrew Wolf, 1883- '84; Jeremiah Robinson, 1884-'85; John Grat- tan, 1885-'86; R. E. Wilhoit, 1886-'87; T. K. Hook, 1887-'88; George Gray, 1888-'89; Arcli- ibald Leitch, 1889-'90.
Secretaries (Recording): Edward W. Colt, 1868-'69; M. H. Bond, 1869-'70; Julius Steiny, 1870-'73; Alonzo Rhodes, 1873-'77; Julius Steiny, 1877-'78; Alonzo Rhodes, 1878-'79; A. G. Brown, 1879-'80; W. F. Freeman, 1880-'83; W. H. Robinson, 1833-'90. To one acquainted with the facts it is no wonder why Mr. Robin-
son has been elected secretary, correspondent, etc., of so many societies. His penmanship is exceedingly beautiful, orthography and punctu- tion exact, and all his statements of fact exhibit a marked degree of painstaking.
LIST OF MEMBERS.
The most retrospective inoods of the pioneers will be best satisfied by scanning the following list of members of the San Joaquin Society of California Pioneers. While printing the list, it was thought best to include also those sons of pioneers who have recorded their names there; and all the names of the members are given in the order in which they are recorded. Although we have taken special care in transcribing the names, a few were difficult to decipher and a few members probably wrote I for J and thus mis- led the printer. The name " Panama " in the fourthi column signifies the Isthmus of Panama, though some came by way of the port of Panama and some by the San Juan del Süd route. The word "Overland" signifies the northern route generally, without specifying the various cut-offs, etc.
