To tha Editor of The Journal In your news columns this evening a dispatch from Berkeley, Cal., appears in which It is stated that "Mrs. Caroline Cecelia Calhoun, whose husband brought to California the first printing press ever operated In the state is dead at the home of her daughter." And further, that "Mrs. Calhoun came around the Horn In a sailing- vessel ln 1851. The printing press brought on the ship was set up in San Francisco, where her husband, Charles Calhoun, - estab lished the first printing shop." , There are so many errors in tha above statement that I am Impelled to offer you corrections,, as follows. - The first press In California was es tablished 'm January, 1833, at Monterey, by Jose Flgueroa, the Spanish governor. The first production Issued , from that press was tne orriciai address by the governor upon assuming his official du ties, dated January 16, 1833. This doc ument was 8x7 Inches In size, contained nine lines of printed matter, and was worded in the usual grandiloquent style so customary among - Spanish,- officials. Between the above aate and the year 1S4S there were . many . official ; docu ments of different kinds Issued by the Spanish authorities. t -.- Tha first English printing In Califor nia was a newspaper called "The Cal lfornian," JsBued at Monterey on Avgust 15, 1848, by Messrs. Colton Semple. The second newspaper- Ttf California was the California Star issued weekly la-San Francisco, .beginning January 7, 1847, by-Samuel Brannan, and edited by Dr. B. P. Jones.' . It was a four page paper, lrxii inches. , The press used in printing this 'paper was brought to San GILLIAM COUNTY. OlUlam county waa created February zn, iRso, Dy tne state legislature. (Spe cial mwi or 1886. page 404). It com prises the northeastern portion ..df wasco county, as tha latter then was, and the western portion of Umatilla county, as the latter was prior to the creation of Morrow county, nine days previous to the creation of Gilliam county, the latter being west of Morrow county, It Is named for Colonel Cornelius .Gil liam, an Oregon pioneer of 1844, who was , accidentally killed at Well's springs, March 30. 1148. while In com mand of the Oregon volunteer forces In the Cayusa Indian war. This war was caused by the Whitman massacre, and was fought against the Indians wholly under the provisional government by volunteers rrom the Willamette valley. He waa worthy of having an Oregon county named for him. Gilliam county is now bounded on the north by the Columbia river; on the east by Morrow county; on the south by Wheeler county, and a very small portion of Morrow county, and on the west by the John Day river, the com mon boundary of Gilliam and Sherman oountles, and of a very small portion of Wasoo county.

There is no saint more revered by the Roman Catholic church than 6t Agnes, a vir- gin martyr, who suffered severe perse cution under Dlocleslan. Upon the place of her supposed birth, without the walls Of Rome, a church was built and another was dedicated to her within the city. The feast of St. Agnes was-formerly held as, in a special degree, a holiday for women. It was thought possible ror a girl, on the eve of St. Agnes, to obtain, by divination, a knowledge of her future husband. She might take a row of plna and plucking? them one after another, stick them in her sleeve. singing, the while a paternoster, and thus insure that her dreams would that night present the -person in Question. Or, passing In a different Country than that of her ordinary residence, and tak ing her right leg stocking, she mleht knit tha left garter 'round it, repeat ing!? ; , ; I knit this knot, this knot I knit To know the thing I know notr yet That I may see The man that shall my husband be. iiui ui nia uoai ur worst array, But what he weareth every day; That I tomorrow may him ken From among all other men." Lying down on her back that night, with her hands under her head, the anxious maiden was led to expect that her future spouse would appear In a dream and salute her with aaJUss. On this superstition John Knits, the celebrated poet, founded his beautiful poem, . "Tha Eve -of St. Agnes," which begins: "They told her how, upon St. Agnes' eve,' Young virgins might have visions of delight. And soft adorlnga from their loves receive ' . i Upon the honey'd middle of the night If ceremonies due they did aright- As. suDDerless to bed th ev mnvt .aH And couch supine their beauties, liiv white.
