By DORIS ROBINSON Mail Tribune Correspondent YREKA The City Meat Mar ket on West Miner street in Yreka has the distinction of continuous operation since 1854, selling nothing but meat. The market has a certificate show ing its membership in the One Hundred Year Club. The market is located in the original building which was owned and operated by Charles Herzoe. Recently a doorway was cut through the west wall to accommodate customers trading in the adjoining grocery store. The wall was a single one about 32 inches thick made of stone cemented together with adobe. The wall to the cast is of the same construction, and in the attic there is two feet of dirt placed there for fire protection in the early days of Yreka when the city was plagued by fires. The dirt prevented the front part of the market from burning in the spring of 1939 when fire, which started in a candy store next door, burned the back part which extended from Miner to Cenlpr street. The part of the building opening on Center street in early days was used as the stable for the delivery horses. The center part was used for curing hams and making sau sage. About 1019 an ice making machine was added, and was one of the first in this part of the country. The 19IS9 fire destroyed all this part of the building and the present building extends only to the alley. Another distinctive feature of the market is the paintings which extend around the walls. The paintings are about 60 or 70 years old and were painted by A. Cedro, a sign painter and paper hanger who lived in Yreka. They were painted on a fine quality canvas, and have not faded in all these years. When the walls are washed and cleaned the pictures are washed and come out fresh and clear as when first painted. Not too much is known of the i painter, except that he would ! exchange his paintings for drinks. He w:ld paint with his i easel set up in the street. j The Elks bar in Yreka also features some of his paintings. The pictures in the meat market feature pastoral scenes with sheep and cattle and game such such as fish and ducks. Many people have tried to purchase the paintings, but they are not for sale. The present owners say tourists often stop in to see the paintings and remark that they have heard about them. The original meat hooks, which were hand forged, are still in use, as is a marble top table with carved legs. The marble is about two inches thick and slants toward the center where a small hole al lowed juices to drain into a con tainer below. The table now holds a meat sliccr. Hanging from the ceiling is some fancy wrought iron equip ment which holds hooks for meat saws and string. This is also early day equipment. Bernard Pollard of Cooley and Pollard Hardware Store in Yre ka was once the delivery boy for the meat market, and rode in a little two wheel cart re sembling a chariot. The meat packages were placed in a bas ket in front, and he stood in the rear of the cart and drove the horse. The present owner, Leon H. Bryan, when he was 12 years old, drove a herd of hogs from Scott Valley to Yreka to the market on font since there was no transportation for them. He didn't dream then he would one day own the market. The succession of owners down through the years have been Charles Herzoe and b. (J. Spannus, John Fall and Chris Ehert; John Fall; Miller and Hughes; Henry Wadsworth; Simmert; and Wuster and Mets zer. Stock was sold, and the Siskiyou Meat Company was formed. The present owner bought the market from the company in 1921 and has operated it since His son, James, is now in busi' ness with him.
