VERNON BRIGGS Author of “The History of shipbuilding on North River, Massachusetts”; “Around cape Horn to Honolulu on the Bark ‘Amy Turner’, 1881”; “Experiences of a Medical student in Honolulu and on the Island of Oahu, 1881” 1931 COPYRIGHT, 1931 BY L. V. BRIGGS BOSTON WRIGHT & POTTER PRINTING COMPANY 1931 DEDICATED TO MY EVER FAITHFUL, LOVING AND DEVOTED SISTER VELMA BRIGGS INTRODUCTION Since writing my experience as a medical student in Honolulu I have been urged by many friends in the West to continue my narrative and write of my experiences in the West, especially of my visit California and the West, 1881, and later. By L. Vernon Briggs http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.030 to California fifty years ago. It is a personal narrative and therefore I have decided to publish this volume privately. I have left out the continuation of my journey from Yuma, Arizona, to Boston in 1881, for the experiences of my sister and myself in Arizona during the Apache war, and my later trip to Mexico, would make this too large a volume. I have decided to publish these experiences in a separate volume later. I do not expect the general public to be interested in these tales, but only those who reside in the regions I write about, or who have visited these localities some years ago. L. V. B.

  • Glossary Glossary
    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

  • Pennsylvania Female College in Harrisburg
    Papers Relating to Harrisburg Women At first glance this section might appear to be papers written by women of Harrisburg – but in the English tradition the Christian name Beverly was employed for males. Accordingly, the first author, Beverly R. Waugh, was not a female – in fact he named his daughter Beverlina, which was then the accepted feminized form of the name. In truth, Beverly R. Waugh is the collector and not the author of the articles presented in the first paper. The material reproduced in this volume of The Chronicle has been selected from a scrapbook kept by Mr. Waugh during his tenure as principal of Pennsylvania Female College in Harrisburg. While the scrapbook likely remained in the possession of Mrs. Waugh until her death in 1908, no one can account for its whereabouts for almost 100 years. It was purchased by the conference archives last year from a Camp Hill antiques dealer, who had recently acquired it from a collector of local memorabilia – in whose Harrisburg attic it had been stored for some unknown period of time. Hidden between the lines of the articles is a most revealing picture of the place of females in mid nineteenth century America. Following the lead article that paints a broad picture, the remaining papers present in chronological order more detailed examinations of particular Harrisburg females and their Methodist involvements. Each is based on a document housed in the conference archives. Taken together they lead the reader on a journey through the eyes of area females from the days of the earliest circuit rider to the modern era.

A NOTE OF EXPLANATION The title of this paper promises more than I have it in my power to fulfil. It has seemed best, therefore, to begin with a brief explanatory statement. An investigation of the international financial and economic relations of China is now being carried on. It will extend over a number of years, in­ cludes a visit to China on my part, and is planned to cover the whole of a wide and difficult subject. In the work of this investigation it has fallen to me to deal with American investments in China. After a brief survey of the situation the conclusion was forced upon me that I would be obliged to undertake a new and inde­ pendent study. A considerable amount of work has been done on this new study, but it is impossible to say whether it will be successfully completed, since its success depends, in large measure, upon its inclusiveness.

There has been a historical assumption that, starting with the hostilities in 1931, the Japanese were maligned in American public opinion. Consequently, the assumption has been made that Americans supported the Chinese without reserve during their conflict with Japan in the 1930s.

    Chapter IV. ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES City of Banning General Plan WATER RESOURCES ELEMENT PURPOSE The Water Resources Element addresses water quality, availability and conservation for the City’s current and future needs. The Element also discusses the importance of on-going coordination and cooperation between the City, Banning Heights Mutual Water Company, High Valley Water District, San Gorgonio Pass Water Agency and other agencies responsible for supplying water to the region. Topics include the ground water replenishment program, consumptive demand of City residents, and wastewater management and its increasingly important role in the protection of ground water resources. The goals, policies and programs set forth in this element direct staff and other City officials in the management of this essential resource. BACKGROUND The Water Resources Element is directly related to the Land Use Element, in considering the availability of water resources to meet the land use plan; and has a direct relationship to the Flooding and Hydrology Element, in its effort to protect and enhance groundwater recharge. Water issues are also integral components of the following elements: Police and Fire Protection, Economic Development, Emergency Preparedness, and Water, Wastewater and Utilities. The Water Resources Element addresses topics set forth in California Government Code Section 65302(d). Also, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 21083.2(g), the City is empowered to require that adequate research and documentation be conducted when the potential for significant impacts to water and other important resources exists.
