GAZETTE PASSES ITS FIFTIETH BIRTHDAY (Continued from First Page) hemus is a prosperous and highly respected young merchant and real estate dealer of this place; is both temperate and plaus, and bears with him to the elysian state of matrimony the best wishes of his bachelor friends, whom we trust will not forsake him in his new phase of life. The bride, Miss Hanna, is one of the most accomplished, gifted and lovely young ladies of our county. May prosperity attend them both throughout their latest days of life." Here are a few other items which we cull from the local page: "The steamer of Tuesday last bore away B. Dreytus, Esq., of the firm of Langenberger & Co. He goes to San Francisco probably to remain for some months, attending to the business of the firm in that direction. "Lee & Company's celebrated mammoth circus is announced to perform here on Tuesday of the coming week. The press throughout the state speaks in universal praise of this company. "The charter for Anaheim Lodge No. 207, Free and Accepted Masons, has been received. Following are the officers elect of the lodge, who will be duly installed on Thursday, Nov. 17th: T. Casal, W.

"The fields in the environs of Anaheim are covered with newly spring verdure, and the foothills and although not numbered to her credit in the census tabulation. The central location of Anaheim, her excellent railroad facilities, her network of highways to every portion of Southern California and an abundant supply of pure water and natural gas, together with a year-round climate, makes Anaheim the ideal location for new manufacturing enterprises. Every inducement will be held out to the manufacturer seeking an ideal location. Anaheim is a transportation center, being seraed by the Santa Fe, and Southern Pacific. The city is also on the State Highway, El Camino Real (The Kings Highway), which connects Anaheim with Los Angeles, San Diego and her nearby sister cities as well as all of the State of California. No community of its size in America can boast a more modern city. Up-to-date, fireproof business blocks are the rule, banks and stores which would be a credit to a city of ten times its size, miles of paved streets and an air of cleanliness everywhere. Business is good in Anaheim—the very smallest business houses scintillate with an atmosphere of prosperity. There is no business in the world more healthful and interesting than the raising of oranges. Neither is there any business of similar investment more profitable than orange growing in that section of California where conditions are naturally and abundantly present for the successful and economical raising of a high grade of fruit. Not all orange groves are profitable and not all sections where you see orange trees growing are adapted to the successful production of fruit from a commercial standpoint.

"During the week three persons confined in the city calaboose got free from their manacles, broke down the door and fled during the night. "A private leeter received from A. Langenberger, Esq., now in Europe, states that he will not return before next May, he being detained to settle the estate of his father, lately deceased. "By referring to our list of exports from Anaheim Landing it will be observed that the principal shipments to San Diego are breadstuffs. So it seems at last that the day has come when Anaheim feeds San Diego. "The demand for California champagne has doubled within the last sixty days, though prices have not advanced. Langenberger & Co., sold over one thousand dozen last month to retailers, and have orders in advance for this months product. "The next two story building erected by M. Calisher, Esq., and the proprietor of the Gazette, is about completed and will be occupied both by the Gazette establishment and the general merchandise store of Mr. Calisher during the coming week. "During the week our city was visited by three billious looking critters who hang up at San Gabriel and pay tribute to Los Angeles. They growled and said: 'Anaheim would never amount to anything, because it would not grow.' We advise our dyspeptic neighbors to read the Book of Fate for is it not written therein that the only way to prevent the growth of Anaheim is to kill the carpenters? Yea, verily." Ninety-one pupils were enrolled in the public schools at the time this paper was printed. The schools were divided into two rooms, a grammar and a primary. J. M. Guinn was principal and Jennie Swift teacher of the primary. In this issue is printed the roll of honor, which contains the following names: Primary—Francisco Rodrigo, Emma Woodside, Schmidt, Frances more healthful and interesting than the raising of oranges. Neither is there any business of similar investment more profitable than orange growing in that section of California where conditions are naturally and abundantly present for the successful and economical-raising of a high grade of fruit. Not all orange groves are profitable and not all sections where you see orange trees growing are adapted to the successful production of fruit from a commercial standpoint. In some sections of the orange belt of California, in recent years, smudge pots were fired night after night to keep the fruit from freezing. This great handicap of expense cost them an average of a hundred and thirty-five dollars per acre. In the frostless section around Anaheim the orange growers did not fire any smudge pots; in fact, this is something they never find it necessary to do. You will find no smudge pots in the Anaheim district. The total cost per year for the care of the average orange grove in the Anaheim district is not more than $67.50 per acre—one-half what it costs for smudging alone in less favored sections of the state. There is an immense sugar factory in Anaheim which manufactures thousands of tons of sugar annually. Also a large beef and provision company, an ice and cold storage company, steam laundry, large cigar factory, a large brewery and Crawford's marmalade factory, which ships its product all over the nation. These industries alone employ over 1,000 people at good wages. The city has an excellent street lighting system, with ornamental lights in the business district. Natural gas is cheap and plentiful and there is an abundance of pure water for domestic use, manufacturing purposes and for irrigation. The stability and prosperity of the citrus industry in the United States, especially in California and particularly in the Anaheim district is primarily due to the fact that the citrus fruit growers are better organized than other agricultural industries. Anaheim is particularly well equipped to take care of the harvesting and packing of the oranges raised here, having several co-operative associations, each with its packing plant.

In one corner of the paper, under the head of "Armistice", we find this note: "Telegraphic news received last night, announced that an armistice of 26 days has been declared between Prussia and France." Anaheim Today Anaheim today has a population of more than six thousand in the city proper and it is hard to determine where the city confines stop, for the entire district is a city of homes and small estates, the owners of which are, as far as business relations are concerned, a part of Anaheim, growers are better organized than other agricultural industries. Anaheim is particularly well equipped to take care of the harvesting and packing of the oranges raised here, having several co-operative associations, each with its packing plant. The English walnut has found such climate of Orange County that over congenial conditions in the cool, moist two million dollars' worth of the wholesome nuts are produced annually. Within the last few years the walnut industry has been enhanced nearly one hundred fold by the introduction of new varieties and new methods of cultivation. In the vicinity of Anaheim they are now planting almost exclusively new and tested varieties, with the assurance of a regular income, not only for the growers, but for their children and children's children. Forty thousand acres are devoted to bean culture in Orange County and the $2,000,000 coming from this crop adds much to home life conditions and the automobile dealer smiles when the bean harvest begins. Anaheim is a good city to live in or to invest money in. In California, Anaheim is known as a "live one." Seeing is believing and Anaheim will welcome the new arrival. To the tourist or homeseeker, Anaheim will be a revelation. Low cost of living midst beautiful surrounding, splendid stores, pure water and modern living conditions, make Anaheim the Home City par-excellence. Modern hotels, apartment houses and homes ready for occupancy, together with fine roads for motoring and the ocean and other scenic attractions close by, make the city a mecca for the tourist. The city has over 10 miles of paved streets, over 20 miles of sewer system, an electric light and water plant costing $150,000, with a reinforced concrete tank 90 feet high and a capacity of 173,000 gallons. Anaheim has five strong banks with GROCERIES Always you will find at this store the largest and most complete stock of GROCERIES, FLOUR AND FEED Of the best quality and at right prices. Call us at 96. 202 West Center St. Lakeman & Renner 202 West Center St. Lakeman & Renner combined deposits of nearly $5,000,000. These banks mostly occupy their own substantial buildings. The average rainfall for the past ten years has been about 14 inches and the rainy season is confined to the winter months, coming principally in December, January and February. During the other nine months of the year the rainfall is practically negligible. Anaheim has several strong marketing associations. The Randolph Marketing Company, Anaheim Walnut Growers' Association, Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, Anaheim Orange Growers' Association, Independent Packing Company and Stewart Fruit Company, employ about 400 people. There are eleven churches, two denominational schools and four public schools in the City of Anaheim. The churches are well attended and many of them own their own beautiful houses of worship. As for the schools, no city of its size in the state boasts better schools. The Anaheim Union High School alone cost in excess of $125,000. Constant sunshine and ocean breezes make a combination hard to beat. "Spring Eternal" is the slogan of Orange County, and it is literally a fact in Anaheim. Every day in the year is growing weather and practically every day is an "out-door" day. The Anaheim Board of Trade is a live organization and maintained for the purpose of locating the manufacturer, homeseeker or tourist. The earliest pioneers of Southern California came to Anaheim, but the land was new and much of the country between here and the sea was unreclaimed. Across this willow dotted waste, the waters had ceased to flow—a tiny clump of tules found a foothold, then long days passed, and nights, when the stars kept vigil with the moon—but the pioneer settler at Anaheim never weared of the long wait. One of the most modern equipped "Sun Kist" packing houses in the state is located here—also one of the great sugar refineries. The golden lime trees run their glittering miles NOVEMBER IN THE ORNAMENTAL GARDEN November is usually the most active gardening month for the reason that nearly all soil workers wait for rains before attempting serious gardening, and rains usually come early in November. At any rate, preparation should be made without regard to weather. Any seeds, bulbs should be included in this month's list. Sweet peas sown now give splendid results both in size of bloom and length of stem for they develop best during cool weather. They thrive best in deep rich soil. Some dig three feet deep in preparation, finely pulverize the soil and mix it with a good supply of decomposing animal manures before re-filling. Then sow seeds at the bottom of a six-inch trench and as plants grow gradually fill up the trench. That places the roots in cool moist soil. Get a box of clean sharp sand and propagate hardy perennials for bedding and bordered. The edging plant, althonanthera, is one of them, and begonias, coleus, fuchsia, heliotrope and marguerite are others easily multiplied at this time. See that sand is clean, not less than four inches deep and of good drainage through box. Do not push cuttings into wet sand or the ends will be bruised and probable decay and failure follow. Make holes with a stick larger than cuttings or make a slit through sand, along a straight edge with a knife or thin paddle. Real hardy perennial tops such as penstemon should be cut back heavily to produce a winter flowering growth, but heliotrope, fuchsias and those subject to frost injury are better left until March; also tender vines needing pruning. Mulch pansy and violet beds now for the blooming season is at hand and a cool damp soil is necessary to fine flowers. This is a good season for bedding herbaceous perennials—they will give you winter blooms. Rose bushes are usually sparingly watered during late summer and will spring into active blooming growth under the stimulus of the first heavy rain. Cut away now all small and weak Prices for the b by Hart S values n reclaimed. Across this willow dotted waste, the waters had ceased to flow—a tiny clump of tules found a foothold, then long days passed, and nights, when the stars kept vigil with the moon—but the plough settler at Anaheim never wearied of the long wait. One of the most modern equipped "Sun Kist" packing houses in the state is located here—also one of the great sugar refineries. The golden lime trees run their glittering miles of rich harvest in the sun. Thousands of trees bathed in a shimmering coat of green—rear their heads to the skies like magic spears, and bring to Anaheim an undreamed of burden of wealth. Located on the main lines of two great railways, the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe—the State Highway, and branch boulevards, radiating everywhere, but 16 miles from the ocean, and the mountains only a stones throw away, Anaheim has a location both unusual and unique. While, fifty years ago, Anaheim was not the blooming paradise it is today, the basic requirements were there. As a proof of this, what was then a waving expanse of wild mustard is today one of the richest, best improved and most prosperous districts in America. TUSTIN PIG CLUB UNDER WAY On Saturday, Oct. 23rd, eight boys and three girls from the Tustin district started on the one hundred and twenty day pig feeding contest. The eleven contestants chose a red colored weaning pig apiece and began the race on an even mark. If food prices continue to lower and market value of hogs remains around seventeen cents the club members should realize a little profit from their project. The boys and girls are showing great enthusiasm and interest in the club and no doubt some real porkers will be turned out. Anaheim Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.50. BRIDEGROOM WANTED FOR THEFT City and county officials in Santa Ana today were searching for a young couple from San Francisco, married Thursday by Justice Cox of Santa Ana and wanted on a charge of stealing an automobile. When the couple applied at the county clerks office for a marriage license they gave their names as Arnold Golger, 22, San Francisco, and Marie D. O'Keefe, 18, San Francisco. Within an hour after they were married and had departed with the blessing of the justice, a telegram was received from the sheriff's office stating that Golger had stolen a Scripps-Booth car painted maroon and bearing either the number 477744 or 329628. The telegram stated that Golger, who is 17, had eloped with a girl of the same age and asked that the boy be held. Having gained two hours between the marriage ceremony and the receipt of the telegram the newlyweds were lost to the officials. As a result an appeal has been sent to police officers of other Southern California cities. While the freight rates on beans were recently increased 33 per cent, the ocean freight rates on the same commodity from the Orient, South America or Madagascar have tended to grow less, and recently beans have been transported from Japan to this country for only about the handling cost, on the theory that they were needed as ballast, say officials of the California Lima Bean Growers Ass'n. California growers are finding it difficult to compete against both lower freight rates and the cheap labor of foreign countries.
