THEATYSITE
HAS VANISHED
LOS ANGELES. April 24.—His- j
torical societies seeking to erect a
monument on the spot where the!
treaty wras signed which gave Cali-;
fornla to the United Stales would
hare a hard time finding the spot,
It was brought out at a recent
meeting of the City Council, when
a request to purchase land in <\x
huenga Pass, just oustlde of Holly
wood, came up for dehate.
The Treaty of Chauenga nego
tiated in 1845 between Col. .John C.
Fremont, commander o£, the Ameri
can forces in California, and Gov
ernor Andreas Pico, commander in
chief of the California armies, is
said to have signed in a ranch house
somewhere on the Chaugena plain;,,
but the ranch house has vanished,!
and no definite description of the)
site on which it stood appears to)
have been handed down.
That the treaty was signed, and'
500,000 square miles of territory Is!
now California, Nevada, Utah, Colo-1
rado, Arizona and New Mexico!
thereby ceded to the United States,
is a fact on which chroniclers arc!
agreed. j

ment — students of such matters
shrug their shoulders and say;
"No one knows.”

The craft is twenty-two feet long,
seven feet wide and seven feet deep,
and resembles a submarine. It has
a hatch in the bottom and other
oddities, but carries no keel, being
kept upright by a one-inch layer of
scrap iron “below fcdeoks." Built
for a one-man crew, the "Roland
Neptune" contains a bunk, a galley,
provision chests and a cargo hold
for trophies of the voyage, of which
the navigator expects to accumulate
many. Material for the sloop
rigged little vessel was picked up
here and there along the water
front. wherever odds and ends were
to be had.
