PRESENT ASPECT OF AFFAIRS.

There is much to be said concerning the present condition of things in San Buenaventura and the remainder of the county, which will serve to fix in the mind the progress which half a score of years have seen accomplished, better than would be gath- ered by a thoughtful perusal of the foregoing out. line. The entire industrial aspect has been revolu- tionized. From an inconsiderable hamlet San Buena- ventura has grown to a population of over 2,000. In every respect civilization and refinement have kept pace with material growth.

FURNITURE FACTORY.

J. Richardson established the furniture factory in 1870, after a previous training in New York and England. He has machinery for constructing wooden water pipes of any desirable dimensions. There are turning lathes, mortising and shaping machines, with all the necessary apparatus for the manufacture of coffins, furniture, and other useful articles, for up- holstering, etc. The cash capital invested is stated by Mr. Richardson' to amount to $10,000. Some half-dozen men are usually employed by this factory.

MACHINE SHOP.

I. Barnard has an establishment for repairing agri- cultural machinery, which seems, from its varied industries, to be entitled to this name, for all kinds of work brought to the place gets done somehow. His shop has two planers, one lathe with twenty-eight- inch swing, two circular saws, etc. Mr. Barnard put up the only saw-mill ever built in the county, sit-

POLITICS AND PROGRESS.

uated two miles up the cañon, in 1876. It was a small affair, intended to saw the small logs of syca- more that grew along the creek. The project did not succeed very well, as the lumber was much given to warping. He also, about the same time,"built a grist-mill, which, though an improvement on the one erected twenty years before by Dr. Poli, was a small affair, and got very little to do when the Ventura Mill was erected. The Barnard Mill is now used only for grinding feed. It was used at one time to grind the celebrated rock soap, of which one ton per day could be put through. Mr. Barnard says Jose Dolores de Chapman had a mill in very early days, the stones of which were cut out of native rock. A freshet car- ried it away. The shop of Mr. Barnard's was built in 1875, by P. V. Wright, and is now mainly employed in making house trimmings and bee-hives. There are 15,000 cases required yearly for the honey crop, which amounts to 1,000 tons. Mr. Barnard estimates that there are 7,000 swarms in the county. This makes a large demand for honey cases.

SOCIETIES.

The histories and characters of the different socie- ties have been extensively treated on pages 331 to 334.

San Buenaventura contains a due proportion of secret and other societies. The Masons and Odd Fellows, the Good Templars and the Workingmen, each have lodges in the town. Ventura Lodge, No. 489, and Constancy Lodge, No. 209, represent the temperance cause, and meet every Tuesday night at their hall.

Ventura Division, Sons of Temperance, was organ- ized April 22, 1874.

I. O. O. F. Lodge, No. 201, F. & A. M. Lodge, No. 214, and Ventura Royal Arch Chapter, No. 50, hold regular meetings in their halls.

Ojai Grange dates its organization from March 19, 1874, when the officers were initiated as follows: C. E. Soule, M .; J. M. Charles, O .; G. T. Grow, L .; Theo- dore Todd, S .; F. M. White, A. S .; J. N. Jones, C .; Robert Ayers, T .; James Hobart, Secretary; Geo. L. Walters, G. K .; Georgie Jones, Ceres; Mrs. M. II. McKee, Pomona; Adeline Soule, Flora; Mrs. M. E. Jones, L. A. S.

San Pedro Grange was established February 28, 1874, by M. Wason, Deputy, with J. Y. Saviers, Mas- ter; M. G. Hill, Overseer; W. II. Cook, L; S. D. Packard, S .; A. M. Neece, A. S .; Thomas Alexander; C .; J. Borchard, T,; D. DeNure, Secretary; J. S. Cook, G. K .; Mrs. Nettie J. Hill, Ceres; Mrs. M. K. Saviers, Pomona; Mrs. S. D. Pinkard, Flora; Miss Minnie Alexander, L. A. S.

Pleasant Valley Grange was organized January 10, 1874, with Daniel Roudebush, Master; W. P. Ram- sauer, O .; E. Drake, L .; A. S. Clark, S .; James Da- venport, A. S .; W. O. Wood, C .; J. Z. Barnett, T .; B. Browning, Secretary; W. H. Walker, G .; Miss Annie Wood, Ceres; Miss Ollie Walbridge, Pomona;

Miss Myra Walbridge, Flora; Mrs Sarah Walker, L. A. S.

Sespe Grange began March 13, 1874, with the fol- lowing board of officers: S. A. Guiberson, M .; J. A. Conaway, O .; F. A. Spragne, L .; James Henney, S .; C. W. Edwards, A. S .; C. H. Decker, C .; Mrs. C. E. Sprague, T .; Thomas Maples, Secretary; J. T. Cas- ner, G. K .; Mrs. M. E. Guiberson, Ceres; Mrs. E. M. Decker, Pomona; Mrs. J. T. Casner, Flora; Mrs. J. Edwards, L. A. S.

On April 14, 1874, delegates from the Saticoy, Sespe, San Pedro and Pleasant Valley Granges met at San Buenaventura and organized a Council to facilitate the transaction of commercial business.

Ventura Immigration Society, Brice Grimes, Man- ager. Executive Committee-J. Willett, W. D. Hobson, L. M. Sifford, Brice Grimes, W. E. Shep- herd.

The Ancient Order of United Workmen announce their election of E. M. Sheridan, M. W .; Orestes Orr, F .; H. P. Flint, O .; R. H. Witherell, Financier; T. II. Daly, R .; I. Barnard, Recorder; W. Shinn, G .; Peter Bennett, I. W .; Wesley Boling, O. W.

The Ventura Library Association was incorporated November 23, 1874, with Milton Wason, James Daly, L. F. Eastin, C. G. Finney, George Gilbert, Jr., C. H. Bailey and J. Sheridan as the first Board of Direc- tors. In later years, the Legislature having passed a law enabling towns or cities to assess a library tax, the society turned their books and papers, of a value of $1,500, over to the town, on condition that the latter should pay their debts, amounting to 8313, and impose a sufficient tax to keep up the library. Ou the 21st of August, 1878, this offer was accepted by the town authorities. The accounts for the first year were :-

Old debt paid $313 00

New Books

103 80

Magazines and Papers 26 75

Rent.

125 00

Salary of Librarian 142 50

Cash on hand

20 40

Total for year $731 45

To the efforts of Mrs. C. II. Bailey more than any person is the library due.

On June 23, 1873, the Ventura Reading Club, a literary society, was organized at the house of L. C. McKeeby.

NEWSPAPERS.

In the review of the present condition of the town the two newspapers rank among the most impor- tant matters. Their columns tell the story of the condition of Ventura's business affairs more plainly than could be otherwise told. The advertisements contained in a newspaper are a most perfect index to the affairs of the neighborhood. They are a re- flection of all business movements and commercial ventures. A tolerably accurate estimate of the busi- ness capabilities of any place can be thus made,

provided at the same time that the enterprise of the newspaper itself be understood. In examining the

" SIGNAL,"

Twenty-two of its thirty-two columns are found to be advertisements derived from some seventy-five different firms or individuals, who take this way of letting their business be known. This does not in- clude the so-called " star locals." Among the items of news that can be derived by a scrutiny of the columns, is the Masons' celebration of St. John's Day; their offieers being given as M. Cannon, W. M .; A. J. Snodgrass, S. W .; Ed. T. Hare, J. W .; H. Clay, Treasurer; L. C. McKeeby, Secretary; W. A. Knighten, Chaplain; N. C. Bledsoe, Marshal; K. P. Grant, S. D .; F. A. Foster, J. D .; S. A. Guiberson, S .; E. K. Benchley, S .; S. N. Sheridan, Tyler.

In another column of the Signal,

F. W. BAKER, JR.,

Advertises his stock of agricultural implements and . hardware. His business announcements tell their own story, but for the gentleman himself a few words are necessary.

The son of F. W. and Mary L. Baker, was born at Boston, Mass., May 7, 1853, and is consequently thirty years of age. His grandfather Baker had the honor of having started the first newspaper in the State of Maine. The young man obtained a good education, having been a graduate of the High School, and also attending for one year the Massachusetts Agrieult- ural College, in the Class of '73. Having finished his studies, he entered the wholesale dry goods house of Jordan, Marsh & Co, of Boston, but the business not being suited to his tastes he resigned, and obtained a position in the wholesale hardware house of Hogan, Clark & Sleeper, of Boston, where he served as ship- ping-elerk, entry clerk, cashier, and traveling sales- man for three years. The Boston fire destroying most of the wholesale honses, that of his employers among the rest, he was forced out of a situation. In 1872 he obtained a position with Baker & Hamilton, of San Francisco, and arrived in California in Decein- ber of that year; with this firm he served four years as entry clerk, and traveling salesman; after which, in company with Mr. Charles Stone, of San Fran- cisco, he bought out the hardware firm of Allen, Parks & Kimball, of Napa City. This partnership continued for one and a half years, when he sold out and resumed his position with Baker & Hamilton, as traveling salesman, until April, 1879.

His next venture was to buy out the hardware business of E. Edwards, of San Buenaventura, where he has since remained.

His store, which is of brick, is located in the center of the business portion of the town, its dimen- sions being 30x125 fect, with a tin-shop and coal- house in the rear.

Mr. Baker is engaged in the sale and manufacture of agricultural implements, stoves, pumps, tin, sheet-

iron, and copper ware, and numerous other articles generally found in a first-class hardware store. He employs constantly four or five men.

In business Mr. Baker has been very successful, attending strictly to his own affairs, never, specu- lating on the outside, and attending to his own books, thereby being able to know the state of his business at all times. He was married November 15, 1879, to Miss Anna M. Sheridan. A sketch of Mr. Baker's beautiful residenee aecompanies this volume.

Two lumber yards, those of Saxby & Walton, and Chaffee, Gilbert & Bonestel, offer their stock also. All of these five gentlemen have previously been mentioned in connection with this history.

Returning to the columns of the Signal, there can be found an announcement of the arrival and depart- ure of the mails, signed by the lady postmistress-Ven- tura to the front in every item of progress, woman's rights, and the equality of the sexes.

So much for Mr. Ed. M. Sheridan's paper.

" FREE PRESS."

This paper, published by McLean & Son, is also a live institution. The elder McLean is perhaps as well acquainted with the " inside" of politieal mat- ters as any man in Southern California, having in his long career eome in contact with most of the old politicians of the State, and knows more about many of them than they care to have published. He is an extensive reader, and keeps well posted up in the domains of modern science, and consequently is not likely to be led off into visionary speculations. The paper is conservative and solid in its character, as might be expected. The number before us contains an advertisement of the Ventura Flour Mills, Thomas Clarke & Co., proprietors, who make known their ability to supply flour, Graham flour, eracked wheat, corn meal, etc., and to do merchant or custom-work. Concerning the senior partner there is this to say of

THOMAS CLARKE,

Of the Ventura Mill Co. The Ventura Flour Mills, about three miles above the town, on the Ventura River, is a source of pride to all the people of the eounty. It is one of the institutions that has adopted all the late improvements in the manufacture of flour, except, perhaps, the so-called roller process. Those who sit down to a breakfast, with nice, snowy rolls, often give the cook the credit which should go to the miller; for without good flour, the biscuit would be but sorry food. The subject of milling to most people is a far-away matter, though so intimately connected with personal comfort and health. Bad bread is un- doubtedly the source of as much erime as whisky. In this light, the good miller becomes a public bene- factor; the poor miller a minister of crime. Without the proper machinery, the miller is helpless. This the Ventura Mill is supplied with, and consequently the . flour produces comfort, peace and good-will among the community, wherever it is used.

POLITICS AND PROGRESS.

The first process in milling wheat is to separate the straw, chaff and barley from the grain. A very complicated machine is required for this, composed of' sieves, blasts of air, and other apparatus. After this, the smut-mill takes up the grain, and, beating it with a rotary movement against a hardened-steel grater, removes all the dust, dirt or smut attached to it, and the grain comes out polished and bright, but not yet ready for grinding. As it leaves the smut-mill, a stream of water is turned upon the wheat-nearly or quite all the surface of the wheat will hold without dripping. This is to toughen the hull, or bran, of the wheat. Without this wetting, much of the brittle hull would be pulverized, and pass into the flour, making it dark, and rendering the bread made from it heavy. After soaking from sixteen to twenty-four hours, the wheat is ground-coarsely at first, and reground until it reaches the desired fineness. It is in some of the last processes that the most valuable machinery comes into use. The hull, or bran, as it is called, is found to have the most nutritious portion of the wheat attached-the portion that contains the most gluten, or that material which makes the bread rise and become light and porous. The bran is subjected to another process and reground. For the purpose of depriving it of the fine dust which adheres to it, it is passed over a sieve under which is what is called a traveling air-blast, or a blast of air upwards, which keeps the particles from adhering to the sieve, by moving around so as to clear each part of the screen, a suction blast overhead carrying away the dust. After it is cleaned in this way, it is again carefully ground, and the product is the "patent flour," so- called, ranking much higher than any other, but which is generally used to raise the grade of the or- dinary flour.

The mill contains all the necessary machinery for this purpose, besides much not mentioned. The mill is modeled after the famous Minneapolis Mills of Minnesota. Indeed the miller, Mr. Beale, learned bis trade at that place, and fully maintains the standard of the Minnesota Mills. The main structure is fifty feet square, three and a half stories, including base- ment, with wings of about the same size on the ground, affording room for storage. The power is a turbine wheel, turned by the water of the river, which is taken out some miles above, giving thirty feet head. A large warehouse connected with the milling works by a railroad track, furnishes convenient stor- age for wheat, as it comes to the mill. The mills have a capacity of 100 barrels per day. The flour supplies the county, also Santa Barbara, besides sending large quantities to distant markets. Mr. Clark may well be reckoned among the promoters of good morals and general prosperity.

The Republican County Central Committee, Messrs. Nickleby, Barnard, Bennett, Bacon, Zellar, Todd, Skinner, Sonles, Hobart, Mills, Goodenough. Myers, Barron, Cook, Laswell, Saviers, Baxter, War-

ring, Decker, Whitesides and Sexton are editorially commended by the Free Press for their efficiency in the foregoing election. These gentlemen, it is unnec- essary to say, represent the brains and worth of the community, and are so regarded. Of them,

MR. T. EDWIN MILLS

May be singled out as a typical resident. Mr. Mills was born in the town of Dunbarton, New Hamp- shire, November 11, 1824, his parents, Thomas and Sarah (Caldwell) Mills both having been natives of the same place. The family was not given to roam- ing, as is shown by the long residence in a single locality. But the days in which they lived were void of excitement; the great West was unopened by canal and railroad, and the gold of the Pacific Coast was still hidden in the soil and rocks of the Sierra Nevada. The quiet of the period enabled young Mills to pursue his studies in the good schools of New England, completing his education at the academy of David Crosby, at Nashua, New Hampshire.

With a well-grounded education, he entered upon business, in the construction and management of railroads, being engaged for seven years on the Con- cord & Northern Railroad in New Hampshire. In 1846 he sought the happy state of matrimony, marry- ing Miss Harriet W. Smith, a native of Indiana. The excitement of the gold discovery in California, which had taken off so many of New England's best sons and daughters, at last attacked Mr. Mills; and in 1852 he left his aneestral home for the "Golden State," taking the route through Nicaragua to San Francisco. Not tarrying at the metropolis, he went forward to the mountains, locating at Nevada City, and became a delver in the rocks in search of gold. For four years he continued a miner, and then turned his attention to the business of lumbering for a period of three years; and then farming, in which he was engaged until 1876, when he removed to Ventura County, where he has since lived, having a fine farm three miles east of the town of San Buenaventura. An illustration of the home of Mr. Mills is published in these pages.

HOTELS.

The four hotels, Ayers', the Palace, Santa Clara and Revere House, possess, in the opinion of the pub- licist, ample accommodations, and are ranked high in their appropriate sphere. Of course there is an Ex- press Office. This is a branch of Wells, Fargo & Co., and John B. Wagner was its agent in 1880.

HALLS AND PLACES OF RESORT.

Spear's Hall, the Free Library and Reading Room, Frank Newby, Librarian, who does his utmost for the comfort of visitors; the office of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, Bartlett Brothers, agents;

THE BANK OF VENTURA,

A flourishing and useful concern. with Thomas R. Bard, President, D. S. Blackburn, Vice-President, and Henry Clay, Cashier and Secretary.

HISTORY OF VENTURA COUNTY.

VARIOUS MATTERS.

The offices of the stage lines-" Los Angeles and Ventura" at the "Palace;" the "Telegraph Stage Co.'s" at Ayer's Hotel; the fine quality of Ventura bricks; the Santa Clara Water Company's perfection of facilities for putting out fires; the ability of those who instruct the youth of Ventura; the tendency the people have of shortening the beautiful and appropriate name of their town; two brass bands and a string band; the first-class turnout of the well- kept livery stables-these and more things are brought to the notice of him who reads the town newspapers. An enthusiastic correspondent properly lauds the unapproachable climate, and to conclusively establish its advantages, claims the county as a para- dise for hogs, saying furthermore that the hogs of Ventura can boast as fine a pedigree as the hogs of any other section, owing to the exertions of Messrs. Everett, Cummings, Chrisman, Hill, Wall, White, Sewell, and Gries.

THE CHURCHES.

The following short accounts of the principal Protestant churches of San Buenaventura, will be found nearly correct :-

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

Was the first Protestant church in the present county, having been organized in 1867, at the time the Briggs tract was thrown open to settlement.

The Congregational Church preceded the other Protestant churches by a year or two, being founded as early as 1867, and was the result of the settle- ment of the above-named tract by Americans. As there was no Protestant church at that time nearer than Santa Barbara, the Rev. M. B. Starr was in- duced to visit the place and act as a missionary for one year, $1,000 being donated by the society for Mis- sions. The first members were Rev. Bristol, Rev. Harrison, Eliza A. Shaw, Francis L. Saxby, Isabella L. Hobson, Hannah E. McCarty, Mary A. Herbert, Matilda P. Barnard, Geo. Beers, Sarah Beers, Edward B. Williams, Elizabeth A. Williams, Amanda Baker, Maria A. Wason, Nancy L. Banny, Celia A. Simpson, Fanny Williams, W. E. Barnard, and G. S. Gilbert, the two latter persons being deacons, and the latter, clerk. A simple and inexpensive church, 28x40 feet, costing but a few hundred dollars, was soon erected.

The Ventura Land Company presented the lot on which the church was built. Rev. Mr. Warner, of San Francisco, preached the first sermon in the new edifice, and Mr. Harrison occupied the pulpit from October, 1869, until March, 1871. Rev. W. E. Mer- ritt officiated from July 30th of that year until the following October. Rev. S. Bristol preached semi- occasionally until 1875, when Rev. T. C. Jerome, of Illinois, was engaged, and remained several years.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Was organized in 1869. Its first pastor was Rev. T. . E. Taylor, who went in 1847 to the Sandwich Islands

as a missionary, and founded there the first church for foreigners, in 1852. Remaining there twelve years he then came to California, and preached in Tuolumne County, Petaluma, and San Rafael succes- sively. Of the San Buenaventura Presbyterians, J. Ashmere, E. B. Conklin, and B. Lehman were the first Elders, and W. S. Chaffee, Geo. Gilbert, Sr., E. B. Conklin, and J. Ashmere, the first Board of Trustees.

METHODIST CHURCH.

In 1864, Rev. R. R. Dunlap was appointed to the pastorate of Santa Barbara, his charge embrac- ing the whole county, as it then was. In 1867, Rev. P. Y. Cool took charge of the western district, and Mr. Dunlap came to San Buenaventura and organized the church. In 1870, Rev. Geo. O. Ashe was sent to this circuit, and became popular at once. He held services in the room which afterward became the Public Reading-Room. Mr. Ashe's family responsi- bilities crowding upon him, he worked between whiles at the printer's case, thus eking out the slen- der pittance upon which the nomadic Methodist minister is supposed to keep soul and body together. For one year the devoted clergyman went to San Buenaventura, being succeeded by Mr. Holland, but coming back in 1874, spent another year in Ventura and went to Monterey County. Rev. Adam Bland officiated in 1873, and was instrumental in building the Methodist church, at a cost of $1,700, and which was left $1,000 in debt. In 1874, W. A. Knighten came from San Benardino, and being a genial, kindly man, of good talent, succeeded well, and materially reduced the church debt. The Meth- odist Sabbath-school was begun in 1875, with seventy members, and was assisted by a donation of seventy- five volumes from the Santa Clara Sabbath-school.

The church was erected in 1869, and the first sermon preached about June 1, 1870. A 600- pound bell, and a grove of pepper trees are connected with its history. The building is on the corner of Oak and Meta Streets, and cost $2,500. Mr. Taylor's successors were Messrs. Kimball and Dobbins.
