The beautiful Sonoma Valley is one of the richest and most productive distriets of the State. Being within a short distance from San Francisco, and having superior transportation facilities, it is above all comparison with other valleys in the State. The elimate is mild, eqna- ble and delightful. Fogs and harsh winds are shut ont by the mountain barriers and high hills on the east and west. Nature seems to smile on this gem of California valleys, and has endowed it with all the gifts within her disposal. Here the orange tree, heavily laden with its golden fruit and deeked with bridal blossoms, nods
lazily in the balmy air. The olive -- the em- blem of peace, the sacred tree of the ancients -- takes firm root in this soil and bears most pro- litically. The sloping hills are mantled with the foliage of the vine, the fruitage of which yields a rich harvest of wine.
The vine-clad hills and citron groves of Southern Europe find their exaet counterpart in the valley of Sonoma. The soil is of volcanic formation, impregnated with iron, magnesia and other minerals, which give flavor, color and strength to the wine. The soil is similar to that of France, Spain and the Rheinish grape- growing provinces. In the growth of the wal- nnt, almond, peach, pear, prune and apricot this valley cannot be exeelled.
The display at the mechanies' fair made by the Sonoma Valley for the year 1987, was mag- nificent, from the diversity of productions pre- sented. Of grapes, over 300 varieties were shown. There were five pyramids of wine in bottles-Clarets. Burgundies, Rieslings, Gute- dels and Hocks, with Brandies.
Dried and preserved fruits occupied an im- portant place. The exhibit of natural silk worins in all stages, from the larvas to the eggs, excited much interest. Olive oil and piekled olives were shown. Every variety of pickles, cneumbers, melons, English marrows, corn (some of it fourteen feet high, with four ears on each stalk), Japanese persimmons, English hawthorne, Scotch rowan tree, tomatoes, pep- pers, gigantic sunflowers, plants, wild flowers, ferns, grasses, mosses, cereals in sheaves, sacks and bottles, Indian chutney, building stones, ehalk, cork, oak, cotton, wool, bamboo, cheese, butter, milk, leather, charcoal, coal, hops, argols, 150 specimens of native roeks, mineral waters, natural fire and petrified woods, Rhus tox, and fourteen samples of earth and vine cutting were exhibited.
It can be truthfully said that a more com- plete or magnificent exhibit of the resources of a distriet was never made in California than that of Sonoma Valley. The fact was established that Sonoma Valley in its climate, fertility of

soil, and productions has no superior, and few, if any, equals.
SONOMA CITY -- The main business of the town is done on the blocks surrounding the historical plaza, and many of the old adobes re- main, some in ruins but mostly in excellent preservation. There are a number of excellent two-story buildings of stone or brick including the Union Hotel, Poppe's Hall and others. An octagon one-story building used as a city hall, occupies the center of the plaza, and on a strip on the northern side the railroad depot is built, but the larger part is laid ont in grass with trees, walks and a good fence. This square with its evergreens, grass plots, broad gravel, walks, famous flag pole, framed by two-story adobe buildings and modern masonry, alternat- ing between Mexican and American architect- ure, with its baek-ground of everlasting hills, makes a picture worth looking at. The water supply of the town comes from a small cement reservoir fed by the famous spring Lachryma Montis, which bursts from the hills immediately behind General Vallejo's house. The city vote of Sonoma at the last election was 125. Neither the city.nor the school district are in debt. The State and county taxation within the eity limits, taxpayers being relieved from taxation for the district road fund, is $1.10, and the mu- nieipal tax is thirty-five eents on the $100 of assessed values. The personal property in the municipality is valued by the assessor at $92,- 649, and the real estate and improvements at 8266,805 or a total of $359.454. The total revenue of last year was 82,500.
Temple Lodge, No. 14, F. & A. M .- This lodge was organized on April 9, 1851, with the following charter members: J. Hendley, George 11. Derby, James R. Long, M. Pelty, Jesse Davidson, William Burris, P. Hicklin, Stephen Acres, Jason Smith, E. Peabody and George Stevenson.
Sonoma Lodge, No. 28, 1. O. O. F. This lodge was instituted July 1, 1854, with J. A. Brewster, P. G .; F. Rohrer, P. G .; W. Ayers, S. C. Hayden and Calvin Rohrer as charter
members. The inaugural ceremonies were pre- sided over by Edward B. Eaton, D. D. G. M. of Napa district, and the following officers elected: J. A. Brewster, N. G .: Fred. Rohrer, V. G .; Martin, Secretary; G. W. Miller, Treasurer.
Sonoma Valley Bank .- This institution was incorporated in June, 1875, with a paid-up cap- ital of $53,100, and commenced business on July 12, 1875.
Newspapers .-- The first printing done in Sonoma County were two small pamphlets in the Spanish language, published in 1838 by the Government press in Sonoma. One of them contained a list of remedies for the common complaints which all flesh is heir to, even in this favored clime; the other is a series of re- ports made by General Vallejo to the Governor of Alta California.
The Sonoma Bulletin .- This was the first periodical published in Sonoma County, its initial number being issued June 12, 1852, by A. J. Cox, who had been a resident of the town of Sonoma since 1847, having been a member of a company of Stevenson's regiment, which was stationed there. Mr. Thompson says: It was a very lively sheet for several years, and would have done credit to a much later period in the history of the State. Contributions from the inimitable Derby, and other army officers stationed at Sonoma, were not infrequent in its columns. The paper was continued at intervals up to 1855, when the editor, in a characteristic notice in the Petaluma Journal of September 15, 1855, announces its final de- mise as follows: " Hon. Q. Smikes wishes to return his thanks to the editorial fraternity for the kind notices of his debut, and to the public generally (the rest of mankind included ) for their liberal patronage, and to announce that the Blunderbuss has dried up."
The Sonoma Index-Tribune has run the gauntlet of several proprietors, and H. HI. Granice is now at the helin. He makes of his journal a representative local paper.
ILARRY II. GRANICE .- The subject of this sketch is the able and enterprising owner and
283
HISTORY OF SONOMA COUNTY.
editor of the Sonoma Inder- Tribune, the only newspaper published in Sonoma Valley. This paper was first established in 1879 as the Index, edited by Benjamin Frank. It seemed to have had a rather precarious existenee, changing hands nearly a dozen times until 1584, when Mr. Granice purchased it. Immediately upon his assuming the editorial chair he changed the name to the Index-Tribune, and determined to make a paper worthy of the support of the peo- ple of the valley. In this he has been eminently successful. His paper is issued each Saturday. and is a live, newsy and readable paper, devoted to the general interests of Sonoma Valley and County. Mr. Granice has also one of the most complete job printing offices in Sonoma County. Ile is a practical printer, fully conversant with all the details of his calling, and to this must be attributed much of his success. Mr. Granice is also a member of the firm of Rasehen & Gran- ice, real estate dealers of Sonoma. As an intel- ligent, energetic citizen, whose interests are elosely identified with Sonoma County, a brief sketch of his life is of interest in a work of this character. He is a native of New York, and dates his birth December 3, 1849. When five years of age he accompanied his widowed mother to California. She took up her residence in San Francisco, and afterward in Sacramento, where, in 1861, she married R. J. Steele. Their home was then established in Auburn, Placer County, where Mr. Granice first engaged in his present calling as a printer. He worked at this until eighteen years of age, and then spent a year in the Pacifie Business College of San Francisco. After graduating from this college he located in Mereed, Mereed County, where he established the Mereed People, a newspaper which he conducted for some months. This paper he sold to Mr. Steele, who consolidated it with the San Joaquin Valley Argus. Mr. Graniee then entered the employ of Mr. Steele, remaining with him until 1874, in which year he went to San Francisco and followed his pro- fession as a journeyman printer until 1884. eight years of the time being in the employ of
the San Francisco Bulletin. In 1554 he located in Sonoma and purchased the Inder, as before stated. Although the Index-Tribune is inde- pendent and fearless in politics, Mr. Granice, personally, is a Republican. Ile is a member of Sonoma Lodge, No. 28, I. O. O. F .; also of the Clay Literary Society of Sonoma, in which he takes a deep interest. Mr. Granice is a strong believer in the future prosperity of Sonoma Valley, and is always ready to support any enterprise tending to develop its resources. In 1879 he was united in marriage with Miss Katie Keogh, daughter of Richard J. and Kate Keogh, residents of Stanislans County. From this marriage two children have been born- Cecilia and Julie.
Los GUILICOS is situated in Sonoma Valley. being eighty miles distance from Santa Rosa. It is partly eneircled by a high and imposing mountain known as " Hood's Mountain," which has done good service to the traveler in the early days as a land mark. It is at the very base of its peak, which rises to an altitude of 3,000 feet or more, that the home proper is located, and this together with many beautiful features which we will endeavor to describe Iends enchantment to a tout-ensemble which go to make Los Guilieos Ranch one of the prettiest spots in California.
ELVERANO is a newly laid ont town on the line of the Santa Rosa & Carquinez Railroad, abont two miles north of Sonoma, and near the Calienta Springs. Its future is undetermined.
GLEN ELLEN is a little paradise of resort at the north end of Sonoma Valley. It was laid out about five years ago, and has good accom- modations for tourists.
ANALY TOWNSHIP,
Analy Township contains 57,681 acres at an assessed value of $1,222,340, an average of 821 an aere; the assessed value of all the property is 81.779,412. According to the eensns of 1880, this township contained 1,851 souls. At the present time its population will not fall short of 2,500. It is bounded on the north by
283
HISTORY OF SONOMA COUNTY.
Russian River, Mendocino and Redwood town- ships, east by Santa Rosa and Vallejo town- ships, southwest by Marin County and west by Bodega and Redwood townships. It includes the towns of Sebastopol, Bloomfield and Forest- ville. Its name is said to be given by Jasper ()'Farrell, in honor of his sister. Its soil is mainly a sandy loam, and its products are fruits, vegetables, cereals, wine, wood. hops and dairy prodnets. During the past few years the area in fruits and vines has been increased at least twenty-five per cent. The real value of the land for orchards and vineyards seems not to have been appreciated until now; and lands have advanced in price fully 200 per eent. during the past five years. Cosy, comfortable and permanent homes are characteristic of its residents, and it rivals in this respect all other portions of the county. The improvements now under way and contemplated will make this seetion boom during the coming years.
There is no doubt but that to Joaquin Car- rillo belongs the honor of being the first settler in Analy Township. Hle located and applied for a grant to the " Llano de Santa Rosa " rancho as early as 1844. In 1846 he built an adobe house on the western end of the rancho, within the present limits of the township, and near the present site of the town of Sebastopol. This was doubtless the first house ever built in the township. The remains of it are still standing. The tidal wave of American emigration did not seem to strike this township until 1850. During that year quite a number of families settled in the northern end of it in what is now known as Green Valley. Among those who settled there during that year may be mentioned J. M. Hud- speth, P. MeChristian, and Judge Josiah Morin. Farther south, in the neighborhood of the pres- ent site of Sebastopol, Otis Allen, James De- laney, M. Gillian, James M. Miller, John Walker, and Orlando Sowers settled also in 1850, while W. D. Canfield was the only settler in that year in what is known as Blucher Valley. It was not until the next year that any one made any permanent settlement in Big Valley.

in the extreme south end of the township. The very first man to pitel his tent upon a elaim in that valley wa's William Abels. Ile was a man of family, and he and his estimable wife are still in the enjoyment of fine health, and are residents of Santa Clara County. Their chil- dren and grandchildren are living in different parts of the State, and point to the fact of first settlement in this section by their hardy ances- tors with a just degree of pride. During the same year Elliot Coffer, Henry Ilall, William Nutting, Robert Bailey, George Woodson, G. W. Wolf, Edward F. Thurber, Mr. Larkin, W. I'. Henshaw, L. D. Cockrill, Jacob Me Reynolds. Mr. Turtelot and Mr. MeAllen came into this valley and settled. Nearly if not quite all of these men were unmarried, however, and did not prove to be permanent settlers. There set- tled in Blueher Valley during 1851, Martin Reed, Dr. W. G. Lee, John White, Samuel Powers, Thomas Miller, Gideon Miller, John Rice, George Campbell, and W. Easeley. We are unable to discover the names of any who settled in the vieinity of Sebastopol that year, but in Green Valley we find that James Greg- son, John Marshall, Henry Marshall, Major Isaac Sullivan, and Mitchell Gilham became permanent settlers during 1851. Some time during this year Major Sullivan and Miss Polly Gilham linked their destinies together in the silken bonds of marriage. This was probably the pioneer marriage in the township, and a right royal jolly time was had at the wedding. In 1852 1. Stark, Robert Gordon, William Jones, William HI. White, and a great many others came into Big Valley; in fact, all the land was taken up during that year. During that year A. T. Davidson, S. J. Smith, and D). Woodworth settled near Sebastopol. During this and the next year or two the settlement of the township was very rapid. The settlers of those early days were very migratory in their habits, and but few of them remained more than a year or two. The title to the land was not very good, and many of them were merely squatters; so that when ordered off they had to

go. In Blucher Valley the only original set- tler there now is W. D. Canfield. In 1852 a postoffice was established at Miller & Walker's store, then located about one mile south of where Sebastopol now stands. The commission was issued February 20th, and James M. Miller was the postmaster. The name of the office was Bodega, and it supplied all the section of the county lying west and northwest as far as the Ginalala River.
BLOOMFIELD .- Bloomfield is situated at the head of Big Valley, or the Valley of the Estero Americano, on the Rancho Cañada de Pogo- lome, and was named in honor of the owner of that grant, F. G. Blume. The first honse was built in the town by Win. Zellhardt, in 1853. HIe soon afterward built a blacksmith shop. L. D. Coekrill built the next house here, also in 1853. In 1854 a man by the name of Horace Lamb opened a store, using a part of Mr. Cock- rill's house for the purpose. During the year, however, he erected a building of his own and occupied it. Two years later, July 12. 1856, a postoffice was established at this point, with Horace Lamb as postmaster. During this year also the town was laid out, C. and J. Hoag own- ing the western part of the site and Isaac Kuffel the eastern portion. From this time on the town flourished as well as could be expected under the cireminstances. It was an inland trading point, with no direct communication with San Francisco for a number of years. Stores, hotels, blacksmith shops. churches, schools, etc., were established. The cemetery, which is situated to the westward of the town, and on an eminence commanding a beautiful view of the town and adjacent country, was laid out in 1560. The first person buried in it was Mrs. Stephen (. Fowler, daughter of L. D. Cockrill.
Valley Ford Lodge, I. O. O. F .-- Valley Ford Lodge, No. 191. 1. O. O. F., wasorganized September 7, 1869. at Valley Ford; hence the name. Its charter members were William Iam- ilton, A. S. Perrine, A. C. Wood, S. N. Hudson, Edward Hare and William Withrow. The first officers were: William Hamilton, N. G .: Will-
iam Withrow, V. G .: S. N. Hudson, Secretary, and Edward Ilare, Treasurer.
Bloomfield Encampment .- Bloomfield En- campment, No. 61, I. O. O. F., was organized January 10, 1877, with the following charter members: H. C. Crowder, B. F. lliekleman. Bruce T. Coekrill, S. H. Manzy. Valentine Wil- son. O. M. LeFebvre, A. II. Knapp, G. W. Knapp and Chas, Iloag.

Bloomfield Lodge, 1. O. G. T .- - Bloomfield Lodge, No. 256, 1. O. G. T., was organized Ang- nst 19, 1878. Following is the list of charter members: W. Il. Haskins. James Hoag, C. C. Farnsworth, D. L. Knapp, Ada Haskins, Lonis Me Reynokls, Albert Crose, Horace Lamb, Ed- ward McReynolds, Lizzie Gregory, Ida M. Has- kins, Chas. MeReynolds, Carrol Jones, John Mc Allister, Emil Baker, A. E. Kellogg, W. W. Parks, Sarah Stone. Ernestine Walker, Anna Crose, E. M. Sharon, Maggie Sharon, Clara Farnsworth, Mary Jones, Alice Pharis, Clarence Wilson, Frank Lamb, Thomas Gregory, E. L. Mc Reynolds.
Bloomfield School .- The first school in this seetion was taught in what was known as the Big Valley school district. The school-house was situated about one mile east of the present site of Bloomfield. The first school ever taught in the town was under the charge of James Har- low, and was inthe Methodist Episcopal church buikling. The present large and commodious building was ereeted in 1866. It is two stories high, and is amply large for all the requirements

of the town. There are two teachers employed, and, of course, two grades in the school. There is a good library of over 200 volumes attached to the school. Among those who have taught there in days gone by may be mentioned: A. II. Hall, James Radcliffe, T. II. Hopkins. A. 11. Pratt, J. 11. Wilmer, T. C. Powers. E. D. Roberts, and others.
Churches .- A gentleman known as Father Walker organized the Methodist Episcopal church at this place in 1857. He was the pioneer minister of this county.
SEBASTOPOL .- This is a beautiful little hamlet lying near the foothills, on the west side of the Santa Rosa Valley. As has been stated above, to Joaquin Carrillo belongs the honor of being the first settler in this section of the township, coming here as early as 1846. It seems that James M. Miller and John Walker followed him, coming as early as 1850. They erected a building and opened a store about one mile sonth of the site of the present town. In this store was a postoffice, and it seemed that if a town ever sprang up in that section it would be near it. But in 1855, J. II. P. Morris, a man of enterprise and energy, entered a tract of Government land, consisting of 120 aeres, north of the store site. Mr. Morris came to Sonoma in 1853, and was in business for a while at the Miller & Walker store. After locating his claim upon this tract of land, he moved a building, which he procured of Miller & Walker, to his claim, in which he opened out a grocery store and saloon combined. That same year he deeded to John Dougherty a lot, upon the conditions that he should put a store upon it. This was complied with. Mr. Morris called the embry- otic town Pine Grove, a very appropriate name indeed, as it is surrounded by a perfect nursery of young pine trees. We are informed by Mr. R. A. Thompson that its present formidable name of Sebastopol originated in this way: A man named leff Stevens and a man named Hlibbs had a fight; Hibbs made a quick retreat to Dongherty's store, with Stevens in hot pur- suit. Dougherty stopped Stevens, and forbade
him to come upon his premises. The Crimean war was raging at that time, and the allies were besieging Sebastopol, which it was thought they would not be able to capture. The line Grove boys, who were always keen to see a fight -- chagrined at the result - eried out that Dongherty's store was Hibbs' Sebastopol. and from this incident the town eventually took its name. As stated above, Dougherty opened the second business place in the town. George II. Jacobs began the business of blacksmithing and wagon-making next. Marion Howe was his wagon-maker. Captain Anser then erected a hotel building on the present site of the Wilson Exchange. Other business and dwelling-places followed in rapid succession, until the town has now probably 300 inhabitants. It has a daily stage conneet- ing with the railroad at Santa Rosa, which ear- ries both the United States and Wells, Fargo & Co.'s mail.
Lafayette Lodge, F'. d. A. M .- Lafayette Lodge, No. 126, F & A. M., was organized under dispensation January S. 1858. At the time of its organization and until August 25, 1860, the lodge convened at a place known as Pleasant Hill, some two and one-half miles south of Sebastopol. Since the last named date its com- munieations have been held in Sebastopol, where they have a very nice lodge-room over the Pres- byterian church. The charter members were Win. G. Lee, Jacob Fouts, Losson Ross, Benj. S. Burns, Win. Henry, John Ryan, R. Diek- ens, Andrew Fife, Wm. Ely, J. I. P. Morris and Win. L. Taber. The charter was granted May 13, 1858. The first officers were: Win. G. Lee, W. M .; Jacob Fonts, S. W .; Losson Ross, J. W .; Win. Henry, Treasurer, and R. Diekens. Secretary.
Evergreen Lodge, I. O. O. F. Evergreen Lodge, No. 161, I. O. O. F .. was instituted July 12. 1869, with the following charter mem- bers: B. B. Berry, W. P. Berry, Wmn. Wilson, John K. Smith, M. Edwards, Mathew A. Will- iams, and James Burnett. The first officers were W. P. Berry, N. G .: Win. Wilson, V. G.
