DIVISION TWO — COI^ONIAL. I31 



lodging in Mr. Clapp's barn), until we could prepare a shelter on my own 

 land. I purchased the last piece of colony land on Monterey road (the same 

 where I now reside), paying $80 per acre. We all worked, and home- 

 making improvements went on rapidly. 



[Mr. Rust was a member of the board of directors of the public library, 

 from its beginning as a colony blossom down to the time when it was trans- 

 ferred to the city as one of the municipal institutions. See full account in 

 Chapter 10.] 



Being commissioner of immigration for Southern California, I originated 

 and helped carry through the first Citrus Exhibit sent from here to Chicago. 

 This was in 1886, and gave our navel orange a prominence in Eastern 

 markets which it never had before. Again, in September, 1887, I was gen- 

 eral superintendent of the Southern California Horticultural Exhibit, at 

 Armory Hall, St. Louis. 



Indian Relics. — I brought with me to Pasadena a collection of prehis- 

 toric and modern Indian relics which I had been gathering ever since my 

 boyhood from many states and territories, besides Canada and Mexico ; 

 and I soon began collecting specimens of the same sort in Pasadena and 

 vicinity. I also made the first special art-collections of Indian baskets in 

 Southern California. And my archaeological collections formed a prominent 

 feature of the first Art-Eoan Exhibition, held for the benefit of the public 

 library in 1884. In 1890-91-92 I was United States Indian Agent, under 

 President Harrison's administration. In 1892 my archaeological collection 

 was purchased by Frank G. Logan of Chicago, and I exhibited it for him at 

 the World's Columbian Exposition, 1893, being myself a member and secre- 

 tary of the board of judges for the Ethnological Department there. Mr. 

 Logan finally donated the entire collection to Beloit College, Wisconsin, 

 where it is now carefully preserved. 



JOSEPH WALLACE. 



Arrived in Pasadena in June, 1875, coming by rail and stage from 

 Titsanburg, Ontario, Canada. The first resident we met here was Mrs. Dr. 

 Elliott, and we boarded with their family at first. 



[This is all that Mr. Wallace gave of his "old settler" experience. 

 But his good work for the colony will be found in the historic sketch of his 

 pioneer cannery enterprise, Chapter 24. — Ed.] 



p. G. WOOSTER. 

 Late in April, 1875, I came down the coast from San Francisco to Santa 

 Monica. Some thought that place was to be the great city and shipping 

 port for the Los Angeles and San Gabriel valleys. From Santa Monica to 

 Los Angeles I came by the "old Independence Railroad. Stopped at the 

 United States hotel for a while, but soon took a room at Dr. McKee's 

 cottage, corner Third and Fort street (now Broadway). I must have looked
