THIS NEWSPAPER SOLD BY THE FOUNDER CHAS. A. GARDNER NEW EDITOR—BARTER GOES TO LOS ANGELES "STAR"—WIDER FIELD PROSPECT OF RAILROAD FROM ANAHEIM TO LOS ANGELES—OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST (From Gazette July 1, 1871) Deery, the ex-champion billiardist of America, will be in Anaheim today, and this evening will give an exhibition of his skill at the Enterprise saloon. John Hanna informs us that 4,000 sacks of wheat and barley have been threshed at San Luis Rey. Anaheim is unusually quiet—no drunks, fights, robberies—not even a fire during the week. (From Gazette July 15, 1871) Railroad to Los Angeles We have information of a plan, in contemplation, for the building of a narrow gauge railroad from Anaheim to Los Angeles. The parties interested have made figures on the grade and fixtures, and estimate the whole cost of the work at $300,000. It would be a great convenience to our people to have a railroad of this description. By it we would gain both speed in transit, and economy in pocket. While on the street around him. The proper authorities should remedy the evil. Our attention has been called to the persecution of Chinamen by rowdy boys of this place who seem to emulate the unenviable notoriety of San Francisco roughs. Our officials would confer a favor upon the community as well as a lasting benefit upon the boys themselves by promptly arresting the perpetrators of such unmanly outrages. Our new fire bell rang out its first alarm on Monday morning last. Fire caught in the kitchen of Mr. T. E. Schmidt's residence on Center street, but was fortunately extinguished before it gained any headway. The roof and ceiling suffered most and were probably damaged to the extent of $50. (From Gazette September 30, 1871) On Thursday night last at their camp on Center street, one block east of Los Angeles street, the Indians had a grand celebration of some diabolical anniversary to the apparent intense gratification of themselves and the high disgust of all white people within sound of their unearthly howling. They went through a variety of wild and incomprehensible motions accompanied by noises resembling nothing more than the cackling of geese and the braying of donkeys. Lo! the poor Indian, he has fallen very far indeed. We are informed that the Western Union Telegraph Company is about to open a telegraph office at the village of Santa Ana, six miles south of Anaheim. This arrangement will necessitate the building of two miles of additional line—the cost, however, will mainly be borne by the enterpising citizens of that locality.

It would be a great convenience to our people to have a railroad of this description. By it we would gain both speed in transit, and economy in pocket. While on the subject of railroads, we will inform those who have not already heard of it, that there is a rumor that the Anaheim Landing Company asks $30,000 for their franchise and right of way; and will not let the narrow gauge men build unless they "come down" with this large amount. When our citizens were encouraging and aiding this railroad scheme, they were deluded with the idea that the projectors were working for the good of Anaheim, and not exclusively and directly for their own pockets. From Gazette July 15, 1871 The coyotes are quite numerous at night in the vicinity of Anaheim and they frequently make destructive raids upon poultry yards. Mr. John Hanna has received a new 18-horse power with which to run his threshing machine, and is now doing big work. He will leave for Los Nietos next week. About 75 men are employed upon the San Joaquin ranch, near Santa Ana, in herding sheep, building fence, etc. They are aggregately paid about $1,000 per month. Flint & Company are now expending about $15,000 for improvements. From Gazette August 12, 1871 A postoffice has been established at Riverside, San Bernardino county, and James P. Greves commissioned as postmaster. A new precinct called Santa Ana precinct has been formed out of a portion of San Joaquin precinct. T. J. Scully is appointed clerk, and Prudencio Yorba and John Rice, judges to compose a board of registration. We are sadly in need of a few sidewalks and we believe there is no other purpose for which our people would so gladly pay taxes as this. It is very disagreeable walking in the hot sand, and we commend the subject to the consideration of our city fathers. From Gazette October 21, 1871 Notice To the patrons and friends of the Anaheim Gazette: I have this day sold the Anaheim Gazette, newspaper and job printing office, to Mr. Chas. A. Gardner, who will hereafter conduct the same. All debts due the office are payable to him. G. W. BARTER, Anaheim, October 16, 1871. To My Friends As will be seen by the above announcement, I have bought the Gazette and am now its sole owner, editor and manager. As such, and as a citizen of Anaheim, whose interests are all centered here, I shall use the paper to advance in every possible way the welfare of that section of the country which it particularly represents. I regard that portion of Los Angeles county lying south of the San Gabriel river as peculiarly the field of a local journal, and that field I shall, to the best of my ability, write up, advertise and make known to the world. On the question of county division I am, as is well known, in favor of it, believing it best for our local interests to have our own county government. As to politics, I am personally a Democrat, but shall devote these columns to a complete showing of our local business interests than to political discussions. In conclusion, I would most respectfully solicit your co-operation and support, and ask for a continuance of that liberal patronage which the Gazette now enjoys. Very respectfully, CHAS. A. GARDNER. Valedictory Adieu, friends and patrons of the Anaheim Gazette. Our intercourse ends with one brief year—a season filled with active scenes and very many pleasant incidents. My attachment for you and association with you all, could only be severed by what now occurs, namely, an opportunity for a wider scope and broader field of action. My new field of labors is not far removed and I still hope to keep in communication with many of you through the promotion.

We are sadly in need of a few sidewalks and we believe there is no other purpose for which our people would so gladly pay taxes as this. It is very disagreeable walking in the hot sand, and we commend the subject to the consideration of our city fathers. Lots were purchased at Santa Ana this week for a hotel or restaurant building. (From Gazette August 19, 1871) Numerous instances of petty stealing have occurred lately. Mr. Bittner's fruit trees were robbed of their fruit and the trees themselves much injured. Mr. Phil Hammes has suffered two visitations, first losing a valuable chess table and set of chessmen, and secondly a couple of clocks, one of which was a valuable regulator and had several articles of value inside of it, all of which were carried off. Our citizens must watch their goods; thieves are here. We learn that it is contemplated by the stage company to change horses in future at Anaheim instead of the 17-mile house as heretofore. Eastern papers brag of a dog that plays euchre. That's nothing, we have lots of over-grown men who do the same thing and we don't take any pride in the fact, either. (From Gazette August 26, 1871) Our attention has been called to a nuisance which has long existed among us, viz., the practice of tying horses to the sidewalks to that the horse shall take up the whole walk and oblige the foot passengers to go into Valedictory Adieu, friends and patrons of the Anaheim Gazette.

My new field of labors is not far removed and I still hope to keep in communication with many of you through the colmuns of the Los Angeles Star. You have ere this learned something of the quality of the pen of my successor and be assured that he will always yield its power for your good. Under his management the Gazette cannot but improve and flourish. Give him your active support, and believe me, he will deserve it to the latest extent. GEO. W. BARTER. CARROLL BROS. WILL BUILD Carroll Brothers, of this city, sons of Timothy Carroll, inventor of the sugar beet dump, expect to build soon on their lot on North Main street in Santa Ana. Building may commence within two or three weeks or possibly not for three or four months. The foundation for the one-story brick store building being put up by A. J. Visel and Henry Diers at the southeast corner of Sixth and Main streets, on the lot north of the Carroll lot, is partially completed. The south wall be a party wall with the Carroll Bothers. The Visel-Diers building will contain three store rooms. The builders have several applicants for these rooms, but leases have not been signed.

WRITES RE-GARDING TOWN BUILDERS SIMILARITY OF NAMES OF TWO COMPANIES CALLS FORTH INTERESTING LETTER Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 30, 1913. [Editor Gazette.] I have received a copy of your issue of January 23 and was much interested in reading an article covering columns 1 and 2 on page 1 under the heading, "Blue Sky Law is Applicable to Bondholders." I regret with you that any investor should find himself in a position of a loss through the purchase of securities of any class, and we agree with you that it is high time that some preventative measures were adopted by the State to do away with wildcat and fraudulent promotion. The good name of California is at stake, and we as citizens of this golden commonwealth cannot afford to close our eyes to such conditions and permit the wildcat schemer to thrive in our midst without raising a voice in protest and without endeavoring to enact sufficient laws that will grant to the investor—and particularly to the newcomer unfamiliar with conditions—the fullest security and an assurance of fair dealing in whatever he or she may wish to purchase. MULE'S KICK RESTORES MEMORY Oklahoma Farmer Finds Buried Treasure Long Forgotten Enid, Okla., Feb. 4.—John Allen, a farmer living near here, lost faith in the banks during the panic of 1908, withdrawing $3,805, and buried it in his pasture. A few days afterward he was seriously injured in a runaway accident and as a result lost his memory, so far as the resting place of the money was concerned. Last Saturday, while Allen was hitching up one of his mules, the animal suddenly kicked him on the side of the head and for some time Allen was unconscious. He was sent to a Kansas City hospital for treatment and the physicians removed a piece of his skull. With the removal of this piece Allen at once recovered his memory and when he returned to Enid today went at once to the pasture and located the stones which marked the burial place of the treasure and, digging, found the money safe where he had placed it. "Do you really believe, doctor, that your medicines really keep anybody alive?" asked the skeptic. "Surely," returned the doctor. "My prescriptions have kept three druggists and their families alive in this town for twelve years."

FREEMAN, Placentia The good name of California is at stake, and we as citizens of this golden commonwealth cannot afford to close our eyes to such conditions and permit the wildcat schemer to thrive in our midst without raising a voice in protest and without endeavoring to enact sufficient laws that will grant to the investor—and particularly to the newcomer unfamiliar with conditions—the fullest security and an assurance of fair dealing in whatever he or she may wish to purchase. I know practically nothing of the company mentioned in your article, namely, "The National Home and Town Builders," located at 350 South Hill street, in this city, except that I was aware that such a company was in existence. If the promoters of this enterprise have attempted to deceive and defraud the investor they should be punished to the extreme limit of the law, and the writer individually, as well as his associates in this organization, will do all in their power to bring to justice any who have endeavored to deceive by misrepresentation. "Home Builders" has long been on record in public print as favoring the enactment of a reasonable and just law for the regulating of investment enterprises—whether it be stocks, bonds, real estate or what not. The monthly paper we issue has carried many articles treating with this question, and if you have been permitted to read them you cannot but know our attitude—supported by an inherent desire to grant the investor in any security full protection and a square deal. The last paragraph of your article in the second column refers to the owners of some 20 lots in what you please to call "Home Builders" tract just north of the high school in Orange. I assume that you intended to say the tract owned by the company whose name appeared at the head of your article, namely, the "National Home & Town Builders," and inadvertently attempted to make a short-cut by using the name "Home Builders" without any reflection on any other enterprise. Permit me to say that "Home Builders" has never owned any tract of land in Orange county, or any other county in the State of California, and is not in the business of buying and sub-dividing acreage—confining its operations to the building of homes for those who own lots or have sufficient money with which to buy them. In view of the fact that you have quoted the name "Home Builders," which will reflect directly upon the good name of that company, and as it is the only company bearing that title, it seems to me that it is incumbent JUDGE FOR YOURSELF Which Is Better—Try an Experiment or Profit by an Anaheim Citizen's Experience Something new is an experiment.

In view of the fact that you have quoted the name "Home Builders," which will reflect directly upon the good name of that company, and as it is the only company bearing that title, it seems to me that it is incumbent upon you to make some explanation in your next issue in order that the good people of your community—many of whom are investors in "Home Builders"—may not be disturbed, and further, that you may not do an injustice to a solvent and worthy enterprise. I assure you in closing that it is my firm conviction that this statement appeared inadvertently, and that there was no thought in your mind to make reflection on other than the company named in the heading of the article.

[The reference in the Blue Sky article here spoken of, was intended, of course, to be the National Home and Town Builders Company.—Editor.] CHARGES OF BURGLARY DROPPED On the motion of the district attorney, Justice Cox dismissed charges of burglary against Jesus Rico and Severo Ruiz, who were accused of having broken into a box car at Richfield. The two men were arrested after a horse, hitched to a wagon loaded with stolen articles, ran away. The officers were unable to get sufficient evidence against the two men to warrant further attempt at prosecution. Farmers Wanted In Arizona Big opportunities in Maricopa County, Arizona. Government reports tell of rich soil twelve to sixty feet deep—rich as the Nile. Farmers who are being crowded out of California on account of high land prices, should visit the great Salt River Valley. Alfalfa, corn, wheat, vegetables of all kinds, cotton, sugar beets, deciduous and citrus trees, dates, poultry, stock raising and dairying are all profitable. $40.00 per acre is about the average net profit from raising alfalfa. They cut an average of six tons to the acre and this has been selling from $8.00 to $16.00 a ton. A Swiss who has lived in the Salt River Valley for eight years, and who has been in the dairy business all his life, writes: "I never have seen a country where stock does so well and matures so quickly." Cheap Land—Abundance of Water There is an abundance of "stored water" in the great Roosevelt Dam for irrigation purposes. Thousands of acres of land are ready for the plow. Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, is a winter paradise and is growing rapidly. There are other good towns, such as Mesa, Tempe, Glendale and the new town of Chandler. Good markets. Railroad facilities excellent. Splendid schools and churches. Low railroad rates from Los Angeles on Wednesdays and Fridays in parties of three or more. Write for forty page book on the resources of Maricopa County and inducements that are offered to settlers. Land prices at present are very reasonable. Address: Vernon L.
