ROAD FUND.
The county had fought the battle for roads earnestly and effectively. The large land-holders had almost universally opposed the opening of roads. Steadily the fund had been growing. This year, 1880, it amounted to $10,000, and was apportioned as follows :-
First District $ 1,200
Second Distriet. 3,800
Third District. 3,800
Sixth District 1,200
Total
$10,000
OFFICIAL DISTANCES.
The mileage for the attendance and summoning witnesses, etc., often being exaggerated, the official rates were established as follows :-
Santa Barbara to Carpenteria, 11 miles; to Goleta, 8 miles; to Las Cruces, 42 miles; to La Graciosa, 75 miles; to Lompoc, 63 miles; to Los Alamos, 64 miles; to Central City, 84 miles; to Guadalupe, 95 miles; and to Santa Ynez Mission, 52 miles.
CONSOLIDATION OF COUNTY OFFICES.
This took place, August 5, 1880, in accordance with the provisions of the law defining the duties and powers of the Board of Supervisors. The new arrangement is working satisfactorily, except to those, and there are multitudes of them, who are seeking office. It requires more supervision from the principal, but saves much expense to the county, as the subordinate positions are not valuable enough to justify an expensive campaign.
" Be it, and it is hereby ordered by the Board of Supervisors of the county of Santa Barbara, State of California, that the duties of the offices of the County Clerk, Auditor, Recorder, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, and Clerk of the Superior Court of said . county be, and they are hereby consolidated and united in one; and it is further ordered by said Board that the duties of the offices of Sheriff and Tax Collector of said county be, and they are hereby consolidated and united in one, pursuant to the authority vested in said Board by Section 4,103 of the Political Code of said State. The compensation for service rendered or duties performed in all of said offices to remain, and be as now fixed by law."
J. M. ANDONAEGUI.
In the extreme north of Spain and near the bor- der of France, where the Pyrenees slope to the Bay of Biseay, is the Province of Guipuscoa. In that re- gion of historic interest José Maria Andonaegui was born July 1, 1825. Passing his early years in his na- tive home, in 1842 he crossed the Atlantic to Buenos Ayres, in South America. In that city of the southern hemisphere he engaged as a tailor, working there for a period of seven years, when news came of the discovery of gold in California. This aroused the attention of people in all parts of the world, and those of South America, who were more familiar with

HISTORY OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY.
gold mining, were the first to be affected with the ex- citement. Señor Andonaegui became an argonaut, and in 1849 went to San Francisco, and from there to the placers of the Sierra Nevada. After one year's experience in gold mining he returned to the city. He who had knowledge of a trade in those days, and was willing to work at it, was sure to be well rewarded. The tailor was in demand, and Señor Andonaegui went to work at his trade, continuing this until 1854, when he transferred his residence and business to Santa Barbara. Here he maintained his tailoring establishment until 1867, when he en- gaged in general merchandise. This business he continued with success and enterprise for a period of ten years, when he retired from active mercantile life. Being a pioneer of Santa Barbara, as well as of California, he, at an early day, bought largely of town property, which at the present time has greatly ap- preciated in value. He has also erected some very fine buildings, thus possessing a large amount of val- uable property, from the rents and interest of which he derives a large and independent income. In 1870 this gentleman made a visit to Europe and his old home in Spain. Enjoying his wealth in travel and the comforts of a refined taste, he again made the European tour in 1878. Mr. Andonaegui was married in 1849 in Buenos Ayres, to Miss Estefania Etche- veria. From this marriage they have three living children, one a son, and two daughters.
THE GARFIELD OBSEQUIES.
As in all the principal towns of California, the death of Garfield was followed by memorial service. A meeting of principal citizens was held to devise means to give proper expression to the sorrow of the people. A committee, consisting of D. P. Hatch, H. G. Otis, John Edwards, J. T. Richards, J. F. Maguire, and R. M. Dillard, was appointed to form a programme.
The meeting was held in the theater, the Mayor of the city, P. J. Barber, calling the meeting to order. Judge E. B. Hall took the Chair. A choir of forty trained voices rendered " Luther's Judgment Hymn." The Rev. A. W. Jackson gave the oration. Col. H. G. Otis, an acquaintance and fellow-soldier, offered a set of resolutions expressive of the admira- tion for the deceased as a man, a soldier, and a magis- trate. Mrs. H. G. Otis .then read an original and appropriate poem of great merit.
Commemorative services were also held in most of the churches on the Sunday following the President's death. The church edifices were appropriately draped with mourning goods.
ART LOAN EXHIBITION.
In March, 1881, the people of Santa Barbara held an Art Loan meeting to raise money for public pur- poses. Many old and rare works of art were brought. Mrs. Josiah Bates brought in a painting 150 years
old. Old jewelry, old dresses, and old arms were brought from the stores of family relics. Among the most observed was a portrait of the founder of the De la Guerra family, José de la Guerra y Noriega, whose history has been related in this volume. The exhibi- tion was not only pleasing but profitable in many respects. It showed the contrast of life a hundred years since and now; it also netted $500 for the pur- pose for which it was made.
FLORAL AND CITRUS EXHIBITIONS
Were held in the springs of 1881 and 1882, in both of which the display of flowers was lavish beyond limit. Those who, in a colder climate, rear a few sickly roses have no conception of the floral wealth that, stimulated by a genial climate, springs almost voluntarily from the fertile soil. Those who are not well acquainted with the names and character of the leading varieties will soon become confused. Such famous varieties as Mareschal Neil, Chromatella, etc., become absolutely unapproachable. The size and brilliancy of the common varieties are such as to lead one to doubt their true names. The exhibition in April, 1882, was especially brilliant. The follow- ing were among the most noted exhibitors: Arthur Holland, Mrs. Dr. Finch, Mrs. Olmstead of Carpen- teria, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. J. W. Cooper, Mrs. N. P. Austin, Mrs. B. O. Franklin, Mrs. Buel, Mrs. Cranor, Mrs. G. E. Childs, and Dr. L. G. Yates. Joseph Sexton had a large table covered with a large variety of flowers arranged in fanciful forms. Dr. Dimmick had the largest number of rare exotics. E. Harper exhibited a variety of citrus fruits and also samples of the Loquot. J. J. Ellis exhibited olives. L. A. Hemenway exhibited large strawberries. Mrs. Ell- wood Cooper, Mrs. Olivera, and Mrs. Ashley also had large displays. Mrs. Ashley's was arranged in the form of a temple. H. C. Ford, the artist, brought in some very rare flowers from his place. Mrs. M. B. Page also had a great variety. F. H. Knight exhibited over one hundred varieties, correctly named. Mrs. W. H. Norway showed much taste in the arrangement of a variety of flowers. Miss Cunningham had a few superb varieties. Mrs. and Miss Caldo massed flowers of different colors with good effect. Mrs. W. E. Noble had a well-arranged table. G. C. Packard, H. C. Ford, Colonel Hollister, J. Sexton, Mrs. Albert Holle, and Mrs. Dugdale showed splendid citrus fruits of their own raising. There were shown samples of the guava, Japan per- simmon, cherimoya, and other rare fruits.
The exhibition, though made without extraordi- nary effort, showed a development and progress in floral and fruit culture that spoke well for the future. It has been demonstrated that the soil and climate is not only adapted to raising fruits and flowers but also the seeds of flowers. The geranium ripens its seeds here to an extent unknown elsewhere. It is thought by good judges that the matter of raising flower-seeds will become an important industry in

the near future. Mrs. Childs, Mrs. N. W. Winton, and H. C. Ford were industrious workers in building up the Santa Barbara Horticultural Society. They have been instrumental in gathering many valuable statistics regarding fruit culture and its profits in Santa Barbara County.
JOB V. KIMBER
Was born in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, July 2, 1823. In that State he grew to maturity, receiving his education at the public schools of the country, and preparing himself for the labors of the future. Engaging, when of sufficient age, in steamboating, he continued that business more or less continuously until 1860, when he emigrated to the Territory of Colorado, and entered into the business of mining and milling. There he remained for twenty years, seeing and assisting Colorado to grow from a few mining hamlets, in what was called the Pike's Peak region, into a rich and populous State, with elegant cities, extended fields of every eulture, numerous long lines of railroad, and mines producing many millions of gold and silver bullion yearly. In this last Mr. Kimber was engaged, and takes a just pride in the wealth and importance of the "Centennial" State. The severity of the climate induced a change, and in 1880 he removed to Santa Barbara, the fame of whose genial clime had reached the mountains of Colorado. Adjoining the city limits of Santa Bar- bara he has a beautiful place, his farm comprising an area of 150 acres, highly improved, and such an estate as any gentleman of wealth and ease might covet. A view of this place may be found in this work. Mr. Kimber was married in 1865, to Miss Virginia Lehman, of Pittsburg, and six children are the fruit of the union. The view of the place in this book gives a good idea of the immediate surround- ings, but cannot give the larger setting of mountains and sea which help make it, like all Santa Barbara, one of the delightful spots of the world. It must be seen to be appreciated.
SUPERVISOR DISTRICTS.
These have been changed from time to time, as the county was settled. The present county of Ventura formerly constituted District No. 1. When the new county was organized it was necessary to redistrict the balance of the county. The present arrangement, made August, 1880, will probably stand until the county is again divided.
First District-Commencing at the mouth of Rin- con Creek, on the boundary line between Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties, thence along the Santa Barbara Channel westerly to the most easterly bound- ary of the city of Santa Barbara as incorporated; thence along the same northerly and westerly to the line in the center of Section 15, Township + north, Range 27 west, San Bernardino meridian; thence north through the center of Sections 10, 15 and 3 of Township 4 north, Range 27 west, to the
first standard linė north; thence along same east-to the boundary line between the counties of Ventura and Santa Barbara; thence along the same southerly to the place of beginning.

HISTORY OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY.

I. K. FISHER.
In writing a history of any of the brave men who, in an early day left the comforts and pleasant sur- roundings of their Eastern homes, and turned their faces toward the setting sun, when hardships were as much to be expected as wolves and Indians, those who have followed after, when railroad travel and long cultivation of lands have superseded the hard- ships and bravery, and numbers have banished the two last named, will find but scant justice done to the subject of our sketch.
But to most readers, memories of those earlier days will be made vividly real by what we write; and to another class of readers, each advance made toward the then outposts of civilization, will need bnt few words to suggest the long, patient, and courageous struggle of those pioneers, who have but this terse record to tell of lives and adventures which will soon sound as unreal as stories of romance.
Isaac K. Fisher was born in Liberty Township, Pennsylvania, April 24, 1836. His early life was spent in his native place, but before he had reached the age of one and twenty he came west, and for thirteen years was a frontiersman, a witness of the many odd scenes of the border in that early day.
He subsequently removed to California, and we next find him located at Santa Barbara, in the wholesale and retail butcher business, being proprietor of the well-known California Market. Mr. Fisher is a member of three different societies, the I. O. O. F., Knights of Pythias, and A. O. U. W. of California. In religious matters he is a Congregationalist, and in politics a Republican, which alone speaks volumes for his honor and integrity.
He was married in September, 1874, to Miss Lizzie H. Holmes, a native of Wisconsin. If strict atten- tion to business, square dealing, and a disposition to give customers their money's worth are virtues, Mr. Fisher may well be considered as one of Santa Bar- bara's best men, which he is, in fact, for men of honest industry are the life of the country.

The Committee on Platform and Resolutions beg leave to submit the following, and recommend its adoption:
Resolved 1, That the Republican party are in favor of' temperance and morality, and the enforcement of all things relating thereto; and hereby instruct our delegates to the State Convention which is soon to assemble at Sacramento, to use their best endeavors to secure the adoption of a plank in the Republican State platform pledging the Republican party against the repeal of the so-called Sunday Law.
RESIDENCE & PART OF ORCHARD & RANCH OF J. V. KIMBER, 2 1/2 MILES FROM SANTA BARBARA CAL.
245
RECENT EVENTS.
Resolved 2, That we accept the issne raised by the Democratic party in their late State Convention, wherein they declare their intention to repeal that great rule of action generally reversed throughout the most enlightened and civilized portions of the world, and commonly known as the Sunday Law. That in the organization of our being there exists a necessity for a certain portion of our time to be set apart as a period of rest. No development, either physical, intellectual or moral, is possible with- out it. Every seventh day was ordained and made sacred, consecrated to the highest interests of human- ity by the great Law-Giver of Sinai; and the experi- ence of centuries has sanctioned the wisdom of his choice, and upon this corner-stone the great Repub- lic of America has been erected.
Resolved/ 3, That it is the sense of this Convention that all fees of officers for constructive mileage should be abolished; that the fees in summoning jurors in civil cases, and the mileage and per diem of jurors in civil cases, should be wholly borne by the litigant, and that no part thereof should be paid out of the County Treasury; that the criminal jurisdiction of Justices of the Peace should be limited to their respective townships.

Santa Maria-M. D. Miller, W. Elliott, A. C. Schuster.
Santa Rita-A. F. Childs.
After organizing, the following resolutions were adopted as expressive of the sense of the meeting :-
Resolved, That we retain an abiding faith in the principles enunciated by the National Greenback and Labor party at its convention in Chicago in 1880; that we regard the establishment of those principles as essential to national prosperity and as the only remedy for commercial crises, political corruption, social degradation. and national decay.
Resolved, That in the approaching political eam- paign, we openly avow an uncompromising hostility to the inordinate greed and unrestrained capacity of the railroad power in this State; that we suffer with impatience the robbery perpetrated by these corpora- fions under color of the law, and view with alarm the stupendous fortunes amassed by our railroad kings,
by which elections are controlled, legislators cor- rupted. and political liberty endangered,
Resolved, That the delegates chosen by this conven- tion to represent this county at the State Convention, are instructed to demand of each candidate for Rail- road Commissioner, that, if elected, he will, upon assuming official duties, persistently use his vote and influence for the immediate reduction of railroad freights and fares in this State to such an extent that they shall not exceed in average twenty-five per cent. of present rates, and that he will advocate such other and further reductions as shall be equitable.
Resolved, That the excessive rate of taxation in this State is not only oppressive to the people, but also repels foreign capital and immigration; that we demand of our representatives that they shall co- operate with other honest legislators to secure a complete reform in fees and salaries in the expense of collecting and disbursing the revenue in the cost of judicial proceedings, and in public appropriations.
Resolved, That experience has demonstrated that periodic rest is necessary to human health and happi- ness; that such holidays, if not regulated by law. are likely to be ignored through the greed of avarice or the power of capital; that the interests of laborers, artisans, clerks, and the masses in general, require the protection of legal holidays on which labor and business shall be suspended. We therefore approve a Sunday Law which forbids, as far as practicable, the transaction of business, and which secures to the people a weekly day of rest, recreation, or devotion, as reason or conscience shall dictate; and in order that the usual temptations which leisure affords may not, through intemperance, destroy the salutary blessings designed by such law, we especially ap- prove and ratify that section of the statute which forbids the sale of intoxicating liquors on such boli- day.
Resolved, That we are in favor of an amendment to the Constitution of the State of California, forever prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors.
Resolved, That we are in favor of allowing the women citizens of our land the right of suffrage.
Mr. Miller moved the adoption of the resolution.
The members of the Greenback party in Santa Barbara are generally irrepressible. Among the most radical are R. T. Bnell, J. J. Holloway, and J. T. Holloway, whose guns are always double-shotted with facts and figures ready for immediate action. The party easts about 300 votes, and is often able to make a choice between the candidates of the oppos- ing parties. Mr. Buell introduced the following resolutions, which, though generally approved, were thought exceptionable in some respects, and wero not adopted :-
