way along Taylor Street to Edison, to the Levee, to El Dorado and four blocks of land for depots, free of cost. The directors accept- ed this liberal offer, provided the people also gave them, free of cost, 100 feet of right-of- way through the county to the boundary line. thirteen acres on the water front, then owned by Wilhoit & Devendorf, and twenty-five acres of Senator Boggs' land, which he valued at $10,000. It was a pretty steep demand, which would involve an extra expense of $75,- 000 at least, but the crucial period had arrived and the Stockton business men met it. While discussing the demand, William Inglis, speak- ing up, said: "Tell the gentlemen now that we accept the proposition." The motion to accept was immediately carried and the room rang with cheers for the San Joaquin Valley road.

Then came the question of raising the addi- tional amount and as a starter a mass meeting was held April 5, with standing room only. The meeting was called to order by P. A. Buell, and speeches were made by Mayor Mc- Call, Dr. Asa Clark, who said even his Chi- nese cook had donated $5; Dr. Grattan, who declared, "The people have been fooled by railroads in the past, but no doubt of this;" and by George Gray. As Mr. Gray arose John Milan shouted, "Three cheers for Mr. Gray," which were heartily given. The speaker as- serted, "We have all seen railroads on paper in the past, and I have spent much money that way, but I think we shall have to support the directors." William C. Daggett also favored the road, the latter being one of the fourteen citizens who voted against the Stockton and Visalia deal.

There were speeches but no money in sight. A long silence intervened, the minutes be- tween success and failure. John Milan turned the tide by shouting, "I can't raise any money but if it can't be raised, and you rich men won't subscribe, I will put up my little prop- erty at auction and let it go towards the fund." Honest, enterprising John Milan, had he been born a millionaire. Stockton would have been a paradise. Cheers and shouts of laughter greeted his Irish rally and immedi- ately parties began subscribing, President Buell starting the list with an additional $1,000. In all, $12,000 was raised that night. Ten days later the subscriptions looked glori- ous, the total amount being $172,416, cash $81,596 and stock $90,900. This did not in- clude receipts from entertainments, a concert at the theater, which netted $150, a picnic at the grove, $120, sale of 1,000 pounds of tea, nor a very unique paper, the first and only paper ever published in San Joaquin by lady editors and lady ad solicitors. The Stockton Mail was placed at the service of the ladies for

Sunday, April 15, and they were to receive all the profits from advertisements and sale. The ladies selected Mrs. Clare Davis as editor, Mrs. W. D. Buckley, assistant editor, and ad- vertising solicitors Mesdames Abbie Elsom, W. D. Rothenbush and D. Winters. The edi- tion was a complete success and there was about $1,500 to turn over to the railroad fund.

Celebrating the Valley Road

Both citizens and directors fulfilled their promise to the letter and April 8, 1895, Chief Storey arrived with his engineering corps and began the preliminary surveys. By the mid- dle of July the permanent line was staked, and July 20 grading commenced. That evening an impromptu celebration was held, in which all citizens took part. About 7:30 o'clock a procession was formed on the Court House Square, consisting of dirt carts, filled with men, three hacks, in which were seated Mayor Boggs, S. N. Griffith of Fresno, Street Superin- tendent Bidwell, Contractors Thornton, Doyle and McCarty, and P. A. Buell and S. N. Woods, followed on foot by boys and men. Led by the Sixth Regiment band playing "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," the procession marched up Weber Avenue to American Street, turning into Main. All along the street red fire glowed and Roman candles were plentiful. On arriv- al on the plaza speeches were made by Mayor Boggs and S. N. Griffith. In October, three new locomotives and six flat cars arrived over the Central Pacific. October 26 the Claus Spreckels was fired up by Engineer Henry Vogelsang, a Stockton boy, and with whistle tooting notes of joy, engine and flat cars were run down Taylor Street to the yard site. In less than a year the track was laid to Fresno, and October 5, 1896, the first train was run over the road from Stockton, filled with offi- cers and invited guests. There was a celebra- tion during the day, and that evening a ban- quet in the Hughes Hotel. Speeches were made by Governor Budd, Claus Spreckels, At- torney E. E. Preston and Arthur Levinsky.

The Santa Fe Overland Railroad

In less than three years the citizens learned much to their surprise and astonishment that Claus Spreckels, violating all honorable prin- ciples, wantonly deceived the too-confiding . public and sold the San Joaquin Valley Rail- road to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail- road. To say that the citizens were angry, especially those who had worked so hard for the success of the Stockton road, does not ex- press their indignation and humiliation. They had given Spreckels their time and right-of-

way over Taylor Street to the water front and over $200,000 in money and land, believing that he would build a road down the valley to Fresno and make Stockton "the terminal point. It was the popular opinion that Spreck- els was the agent of the Santa Fe, and that by camouflaging the public they could get a right-of-way into Stockton, a road to the water front and a nice little acreage of land, without any delay by law suits or whims of a council, without it costing them a cent. Ex- perts wondered at the time why it was that a little 100-mile railroad was laying such an expensive road bed and such heavy iron rails, and when the Santa Fe took over the road publicly it was ready for the heaviest of loco- motives. The Santa Fe immediately an- nounced themselves ready for business carry- ing freight and passengers from San Francis- co to Chicago. The freight and passengers were transported from the Bay City to Stock- ton by the California Steam Navigation Com- pany and transferred their cars. A few months later the road was completed to Richmond Point. The first train from the East was a special, which passed through at 4:40 o'clock A. M., June 20, transporting 250 marines bound for China. This was followed by the first overland passenger train July 1 at 4:40 A. M. for San Francisco. The regular local passenger trains bound West left Stockton at 8:15 A. M. and 2:15 P. M. The overland East left San Francisco at 9 o'clock A. M. and the locals 4:10 and 8 P. M.

The Western Pacific

Stockton now had two overland competing railroads, the only city in the State with two roads except Oakland, and although it might have been beneficial to have had a short local terminal route down the valley it certainly was of greater benefit to have two overland competing roads. As I have stated the Cen- tral Pacific had been discriminating against Stockton in every manner possible, but now that discrimination ceased. The officials of each road very politely solicited the transpor- tation business of the merchants until 1910. Then there came another competitor, the Western Pacific or Gould road, as it was then called. They came quietly into the city with no blowing of horns, or shouting, asked for no grants of land, no bond issues or money, and purchasing a right-of-way through the blocks on the west side of Union Street mere- ly asked the common council for rights-of-way across the city streets. Again the people were astonished, and they asked, "Can this be a rail- road, asking nothing from the public?" The third overland railroad was ready for business

in December, 1909, with J. H. Mettler, who was formerly the traveling agent for the Den- ver and Rio Grande, as the Stockton passenger and freight agent. The passenger service was not opened until October, 1910, and at that

time trains left Stockton for San Francisco at 7:10 A. M. and 3:10 and 4:10 P. M. Trains left San Francisco for Stockton 7:10 A. M., and 4:20 P. M. Now Stockton has three over- land trains daily.

CHAPTER XXI SECRET AND BENEVOLENT ORGANIZATIONS

S TOCKTON is more than blessed with secret and kindred organizations, there being more than sixty societies and aux- ilaries. The oldest and the greatest in number is the Free and Accepted Masons, with four blue lodges, three Eastern Star chapters and seven branch organizations. Masonry dates back to the days of King Solomon and the building of his temple, and Masonry in Stock- ton is as old as the city. Among the gold seekers who immigrated to California, there were hundreds of Masons and early in 1850 a number of Master Masons assembled one eve- ning at the gate of Captain Weber's home on the peninsula and discussing the matter con- cluded to apply for a charter and institute a Masonic lodge. The first public announce- ment of any secret organization in the city was April 20, 1850. Hyram Green, a past worship- ful master, inserted a notice in the Times in- viting the brethren of the Masonic fraternity to attend a meeting in Dr. Hill's office over Nichols & McPherson's store. A number as- sembled and, having a dispensation issue, they instituted a lodge, calling it Yale lodge, after Gregory Yale, a San Francisco attorney with high rank in Masonry. The lodge existed only sixteen months and was disorganized Septem- ber 10, 1851, as many disreputable persons had gained admittance.

San Joaquin Lodge No. 19, F. & A. M.

A second attempt to institute a lodge was successful and January 13, 1852, a notice ap- peared requesting all members in good stand- ing belonging to the Masonic fraternity to send their names to H. Osborn Matthews, grain store, near the Main Street Hotel, the site now of the Farmers & Merchants Bank. San Joaquin lodge No. 19 was organized and February 11, 1852, we read "The members of San Joaquin lodge are requested to meet at their new hall on Center Street." May 11 the lodge was duly constituted and the following officers installed by the most worshipful grand master, B. D. Hyam ; J. G. Candee, worshipful master ; E. G. Andrews, senior warden; Rasey Biven, junior warden; E. W. Colt, secretary ; 17

J. C. Morris, treasurer ; William Hunter, senior deacon; R. F. May, junior deacon; M. Kierski, tyler, and Rev. James Woods, chaplain.

Morning Star Lodge No. 68, F. & A. M.

Politics was hot in those days over the slav- ery question and the members of San Joaquin lodge were not in harmony regarding slavery. When the American or Know Nothing party was organized in 1854, it created great dissen- sion in the lodge, and many members with- drew from San Joaquin lodge December 28, 1854, and organized Morning Star lodge. The following were the first officers: Lemuel Lyon, worthy master; George S. Warren, senior warden; E. G. Vaughn, junior warden; J. M. Vansycle, treasurer; William H. Gray, secretary ; V. M. Peyton, senior deacon; C. C. Gage, junior deacon; W. W. Stephenson, chap- lain. Three of the fourteen charter members- W. W. Stevenson, H. C. Benson and J. C. Sim- mons-were ministers. The charter members were J. C. Jenkins, H. C. Benson, W. W. Stev- enson, O. C. Gage, W. H. Gray, W. G. Can- ders, E. G. Vaughn, J. C. Simmons, W. F. Mc- Kee, E. G. Bateman, J. Burkhalter, J. M. Van- sycle, Allen Lee Bours and Lemuel Lyon.

Delta Lodge No. 471, F. & A. M.

No more blue lodges were organized until 1918, when H. H. Grow, a very enthusiastic Mason and late arrival, thought it a good idea to organize another Masonic lodge. With- out taking a member from the two pioneer lodges, the Delta lodge was organized January 12, 1918, and twenty-five members on the char- ter roll. The following were the first officers : Fred W. Moore, worthy master; P. E. Grady, senior warden; Samuel Gearhart, junior war- den ; R. M. Rosensteel, secretary ; Will Daven- port, treasurer; W. Thrayer, junior deacon ; H. H. Grow, senior deacon ; George M. Pease, senior steward ; Harry M. Hudson, junior stew- ard; Rabbi Emanuel Jack, chaplain.

Stockton Lodge No. 498, F. & A. M.

This lodge was instituted Feb. 2, 1921, with the following officers: Oliver Wisler, worship- ful master ; Joseph S. Cochran, senior warden ;

Daniel A. Hathaway, junior warden; Arthur C. Potter, treasurer ; Robert J. Le Clert, secre- tary; B. Randolph McGee, senior deacon ; George Riceborough, junior deacon; John F. Blinn, senior steward; Samuel Lerner, junior steward; Irving M. Smith, chaplain. The in- stitution was a very notable gathering of the brethren and the three lodges, San Joaquin, Morning Star and Delta, presented the new lodge with a set of fine jewels.

The York Rite Bodies

Masonic Events

In 1852 Madame Biscaccati, an Italian opera singer, gave a concert in Stockton, then offered to give a benefit concert. It was a kind offer, gratefully accepted, and the Odd Fellows and Masons marched to the church in a body ; they realized about $200, each lodge taking one half. When their brother Mason, William Brown, was killed by an assassin the lodge offered a reward of $1,000 for his capture. It was the custom of both orders to parade in full regalia every Fourth of July, until 1860, but after that none but Union men celebrated the day. They celebrated St. John's day, June 24, sometimes with a parade and banquet, sometimes with a ball, and on one occasion, June 24, 1881, they chartered the steamer Herald and about 300 Masons and their families sailed to Mare Island; and after visiting the island they were the guests of the Vallejo Masons, returning home the following day.

Gilbert B. Claiborne, past master of San Joaquin lodge in 1860, was elected grand mas- ter October 16, 1865. As grand senior warden he took part in the laying of the cornerstone of the Agricultural Society building, where now stands the Yosemite building. Forty odd years passed, and Orrin S. Henderson, past master in 1890 of the Morning Star lodge, was elected grand master in 1902. Elected junior warden of the grand lodge in 1899 he was ten- dered a splendid reception by his Masonic brethren. One of the quaint members of the fraternity was Judge A. G. Brown, many years justice of the peace of Stockton, whose hobby was attending auction sales. Born in Maine in 1801, he came to California around Cape Horn in July, 1849, and located in Stockton. His first wife dying, at the age of seventy years he took a second bride. A past grand of Charity lodge No. 6, I. O. O. F., for nearly twenty years he was their financial secretary. For many years he was the chaplain of San Joaquin Lodge, F. & A. M. Over six feet in height,

with his long gray hair and whiskers, in every Masonic parade, as he carried in front of him a large open Bible on a stand, and wearing a tall beaver hat, he was the most noticeable and venerable figure in the procession. At the time of his death, October 13, 1884, he was one of the oldest Masons in the United States. Mrs. Pauline W. Dohrmann, one of the noblest of Stockton's philanthropic women, elected worthy matron of Homo Chapter O. E. S., was elected grand matron in 1902.

The Masons, Odd Fellows and Sons of Tem- perance held their meeting in the same hall until 1855. Then the seceding members from San Joaquin Lodge rented and fitted up a hall in the north end of the Weber House. R. B. Parker, a Mason and a prominent merchant, concluded to move his grocery to the east, and purchasing a lot opposite the Hunter Street engine house he erected a two-story brick building 35x100 feet. This was in February, 1861, and fitting up the second story for the Masons, both lodges there remained for seven years. It was the first time that they had a suitable and convenient lodge room. It con- tained a lodge room 33x59 feet; a library, an ante room, wardrobe and reception room. In 1867 the Masons rented the south half of the third story of the Odd Fellows' building, fitted it up in splendid style and there remained some seventeen years.

The Masonic Temple

Some years previous to their removal to their own home the Masonic Hall Association was formed, April 29, 1874, with a capital of $40,000. The object of the association was to purchase real property, erect a building, improve, rent, and use the same. The Association was in- corporated and articles filed May 8 with the following directors: E. R. Hedges, Frank Stewart, John K. Doak, George B. Claiborne, H. T. Dorrance, Joseph D. Peters, William Baggs and Dr. George A. Shurtleff. The de- struction of the St. Charles Hotel by fire gave them a fine location, as they supposed, for a Masonic Temple and in February, 1875, they purchased the property. It was not considered large enough for their purpose and in 1883 they purchased additional property on the east where had stood the City Hotel, this giving them a lot 90x140 feet. At that time the Asso- ciation had been reorganized with J. D. Peters, George A. McKensie, H. T. Dorrance, E. R. Hedges and John Caine directors, and the cap- ital stock had been increased to $80,000. A three-story brick building was planned to cover the entire lot, with Masonic lodges in the third story, the second story a public hall, 60x86 feet and a stage, and stores in the first story. The cornerstone was laid June 9, 1883, with the members from the two Masonic lodges acting

as grand officers. The cornestone box of cop- per and iron was presented to the order by J. D. Peters, then president of the Association. The box contained his picture, a set of false teeth made by R. W. Henderson in 1858, the Ma- sonic. history of Judge A. G. Brown, a Mason since 1826, and many other articles.

The building was erected at a cost of nearly $100,000 and as it was heavily mortgaged it was a losing proposition from the beginning. Merchants considered it a poor business loca- tion, and the first story was vacant half of the time. The mistake was made not only in the location but in erecting the building some three feet above the street level, for it has been dis- covered that buyers are unwilling to walk up steps in entering a store. The interest on the mortgage was eating up the principal, and the Association began levying assessments. The members began selling their stock at any price and J. D. Peters bought it up. Suddenly, to the surprise of everybody, he renounced the Protestant religion, resigned from Masonry and becoming a Roman Catholic, sold all of his stock to Arthur Noble. The property was sold some two years ago to an Italian corpora- tion. As heavy a loss as it was to the Masonic order, the hall was a great benefit to the citi- zens of Stockton, for it was and is today and will be until the erection of the splendid city auditorium, the only place in the city for large public gatherings. First we had the city hall, which would seat about 200; then Pioneer hall, on El Dorado Street, seating about the same number; Hickman hall seated probably 400; then the Masonic hall, with a crowding capa- city of nearly 2,000 persons. This is the his- toric hall where assembled the state Demo- cratic convention that fired from the party Stephen J. Field, judge of the Supreme Court, and Thomas Marshall, the attorney general. From that stage some of the finest orators and singers in the nation have entertained large audiences. State fraternal orders have there assembled, and many local entertain- ments have been held. Some years ago the hall was badly damaged by fire. At that time the entrance was on Bridge Street at the eastern corner of the building, and the stage in the west end. In refitting the building Mr. Noble at a cost of some $13,000 changed the entrance to El Dorado Street, and the stage to the east end of the hall, and laid a first-class maple wood dancing floor. Today the Masons, at a cost of nearly a half million dollars, have erected one of the most beautiful and conveni- ent temples in California, on the site where I attended school in the late '50s.
