DIVISION TWO — COLONIAL. I4I 



and a Mr. Fleming " kept bach" in a shanty near where the Garfias house 

 then stood. Mr. Day was afterward the hero and victim of a fearful, 

 calamitous adventure in Eaton Canyon, related by Judge Eaton in Chapter 8; 

 but he recovered, and finally returned to his newspaper work in Chicago. 

 Frank Greene afterward married a daughter of John Werner on Columbia 

 street ; he moved from Pasadena to Eagle Rock valley ; but in 1894 was 

 residing at Garvauza. 



The second number of The Reservoir was edited by Miss Jennie Collier ; 

 and from its leading editorial I quote this excellent bit of facetiae : 



' ' We hope in another issue to give the exact number of pounds of Mus- 

 cat grapes the Moody brothers raised to the square inch, as well as the exact 

 number of turkeys the coyotes raised from Mr. Watts' barn-yard. We 

 trust that the notice taken by The Reservoir of the triumphs of the colonists 

 in agriculture, literature, poultry-ture, dogra-ture, and bachelor-ture may 

 excite our readers to a laudable emulation in these worthy pursuits ; and in 

 order to stir up an interest in some of these departments we propose to offer 

 two handsome premiums in the next three months. One will be a fine 

 chromo of Mr. Berry's house, taken from the southwest corner, so as to 

 bring out in all their beauty the five varieties of architecture displayed in 

 its construction, with the lean-tos both west and south standing out in beau- 

 tiful relief. The picture can be obtained with or without the fluted 

 columned porch, as desired. The hen-ranch on the slope can be dimly seen 

 circulating in the distance. This exquisitely colored chromo will be pre- 

 sented to anyone who will in the next three months send us the names of 

 six regular contributors to The Reservoir, accompanied with the written 

 promise of the same over their own signature. We also offer a life-size 

 chromo of Mr. Croft's mules to anyone who will bring to our table an orange 

 raised from a three-year-old seedling, planted on unmortgaged ground and 

 raised without irrigation. It is unnecessary for us to expatiate on the 

 beauties of this far-famed chromo. The graceful attitude of these noble 

 creatures as they stand with ears erect, waiting the word of command from 

 their master, is so life-like and pathetic that all men praise it and children 

 cry for it. Who among you will be the happy possessors of these lovely 

 chromos ? ' ' 



From The Reservoir No. 2 I also copy this dash of wit played off" by 

 Miss Collier on the unmarried men of the colony who were ' ' keeping bach 

 as it was called. 



CO-OPERATIVE KITCHEN. 



On a chill January day in 1877 the following circular was quietly dis- 

 tributed among the male inhabitants of the colony, by one whose visage was 

 lean and hungry, and whose sunken eyes told a touching story of desti- 

 tution. 



"There will be a meeting of the male housekeepers of Pasadena at the 

 school-house, Friday evening, January — , 1877, to discuss culinary matters 

 with a view to the establishment of a co-operative kitchen. A full attend- 

 ance is desired, and gentlemen are requested to make any suggestions which 

 may help to lighten the burdens now crushing us. — No refreshments. 



"(Signed) 



"T. F. Croft and forty others."
