In the Days of Long Ago Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of this Paper. From The Gazette 50 Years Ago Today Mr. P. Richards has let a contract for the construction of a new building 35 by 70 feet; two stories in height. The second story is to be a hall for public purposes. The location is at the corner of Los Angeles and — Streets. Mr. Brookbank is the contractor. A private letter received in this city from Ben Dryfus, Esq. at San Francisco announces to his friends that, after much suffering he is now improving in health. Upon his arrival in San Francisco it was discovered that his arm and shoulder had received bad fractures, a circumstance which entirely escaped our Anaheim physicians. Consequently he had to undergo a second and most painful treatment. The artesian well being sunk on the place of John Hanna has reached a depth of 152 feet and is past the large deposit of gravel and boulders which but lately gave such annoyance. The instrument is now penetrating fine gravel and sand, with every prospect of water. On Wednesday last the water raised three feet in the well. We understand that Captain Dunnels of the Steamer Vaqueros, is about to make application to the (Taken From Gazette Files of 25 Years Ago Today). With the Deutsch brick block, the new Christian church and Mr. Woelke's residence up and being pushed to completion as rapidly as circumstances will permit, the appearance of West Center street is being given quite an air of metropolitan activity. Sam Kraemer was in town one day last week, and commenting upon the fact that there was a ten-cent show in town again, remarked that the city people had the advantage over him in that they had none of the inconveniences of getting home which people living so far out as he had to endure. But when the railroad gets to Placentia we expect to see Sam at every siow. He can come in on the evening train, and if there is no theatre train out, can get a couple of small boys to pump him out on a hand car. Miss Minnie Zeyn suffered the dislocation of her arm at the elbow and was otherwise quite seriously injured by the overturning of her cart near Mr. Witte's on Saturday afternoon. Her horse shied at the street railway scraper which was being driven up by Fred Lewis and bolted, overturning the buggy. Today is Thanksgiving—the nation... We understand that Captain Duniels of the Steamer Vaqueros, is about to make application to the board of supervisors for permission to build a wharf at the new landing adjacant to the one for which permission has been granted to Flint, Bixby & Co. The captain says he wants a landing of his own. He intends to build a wharf 300 feet long, and to erect a good warehouse. In the large New River settlement about twelve miles north of Anaheim there is much need for a post office. The inhabitants there have now either to go to Los Nietos or come to Anaheim. A post office located upon the stage route near them would be of great accommodation. We desire to call the attention of Capitalists and manufacturers to the Anaheim Water Power, of which no use is being made at present. By a simple process of fluming we have a water power of large volume and sixty feet fall right in the city. A large woolen manufactory or grain mill could be established upon it, and run by its use at a trifling expense. This is a wool producing country. Why can we not have a woolen mills? The races that were to have taken place on the race track near the city between horses owned by L. E. Smith and F. A. Goodrich, will take place at Sam Bland's on Saturday next. Justice Court—Following is a list of new cases commenced in the court of Justice Davis; J. Boxley vs. P. Hames, for $29.75 on account; People vs. Reyes Asserveres, obtaining money under false pretenses; Tim Boege & Bros. vs. Dolores Urono action to collect $150 on promissory note; C. A. Ferguson vs. Abel Stearns, action for $50 damages under late trespass law; C. A. Ferguson vs. Abel Stearns and C. Asseveris et al., for $75, under late trespass law; C. A. Ferguson vs. Plo Pico, action for damages under trespass law. Miss Minnie Zeyn suffered the dislocation of her arm at the elbow and was otherwise quite seriously injured by the overturning of her cart near Mr. Witte's on Saturday afternoon. Her horse shied at the street railway scraper which was being driven up by Fred Lewis and bolted, overturning the buggy. Today is Thanksgiving—the national holiday—the air is redolent of turkey and cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie and things. We trust that everyone of our readers may have his full share of the good things of this day of thanksgiving—that digestion will wait on appetite, and good health on both. The poverty social which was to have been given at the Del Camp hotel Friday evening by the ladies of the Episcopal Guild, has been indefinitely postponed. Times are hard and too much going on. Capt. Earl is said to have rented the Grimshaw building at Fullerton and will be on hand to buy fruit this coming season. It is doubtful, however, if the captain will be able to buy many boxes of oranges in this neighborhood, as the associations control the crops pretty well. Charley Spangler, the tamale man, who fired a shot through the door of a home on Santa Ana street, grazing the shoulder of one of the inmates, was discharged by Judge Pierce's court, the woman refusing to appear against him. As a result the officers inaugurated a purification of the morall atmosphere in that part of town, and the fallen angels were ordered to leave. Gus Stern has transferred the scene of his operations from Fullerton to this city, and is now a permanent resident. He makes a good citizen and we are glad to number him among our population. The city council met in regular session Tuesday evening with Mayor Rust in the chair. The ordinance committee introduced for the first reading an ordinance granting the Sunset Telephone company a franchise to maintain a telephone exchange in town.

The New York Price Current says: "We can find in a late issue of the Commercial Herald of San Francisco, a statement showing the total shipment of wine from that market to new York rom the beginning of 1886 to about July 1st of the current year, to have been 868,637 gallons of all grades. Of this quantity the United Anaheim Wine Growers Association were the largest shippers, to their New York agents. John C. Carr & Co. Kohler & Frohling shipped east during the time specified about 120,000 gallons." City Council—The special committee appointed to confer with the Anaheim Water Company about the control of streets reported that the water company would consider the subject at the general meeting on Saturday. On motion the city attorney and marshal were requested to notify the property owners on Walnut street to open the same. Ordinance No. 6—Any person or persons who shall give or furnish to any Indian any intoxicating liquor shall, on conviction thereof be fined not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars for each offense, or imprisonment at the discretion of the mayor not more than ten days. The city council met in regular session Tuesday evening with Mayor Rust in the chair. The ordinance committee introduced for the first reading an ordinance granting the Sunset Telephone company a franchise to maintain a telephone exchange in town. William Crowther was in town yesterday and informed us of the incorporation of the new orange association at Placentia, the Golden Belt association. They have purchased the old associations warehouse at Fullerton and will use the same, together with all the apparatus the coming season. The new association includes the Botsfords, McFadden, Crowther, Benchley, Tombes and many other orchards, and is said to control 120 carloads of fruit. The Placentia oranges are the peer of the best in the land, and we look to see the new association meet with success fro mthe start. Al Cobler of Los Angeles, who is well known in this section, has been sentenced to San Quentin for five years for embezzling county funds. Cobler was deputy county assessor. Saturday night was the coldest of the season, and much solicitation was felt for the Riverside orange crop, it being known that the weather at that point falls several degrees lower on the average than in our frostless belt. It was therefore with pleasure that it was learned on the following day that although the mercury went down pretty low it was still several degrees above the freezing point, and the crop had come out of the cold snap unhurt.

One of the most noted farm papers, "The Prairie Farmer" of Chicago, which has been the Nemesis of several lurid colonization companies, recently printed an editorial concerning California's plan. This editorial was based on the fact that California has passed a law creating the office of real estate commissioner. State Real Estate Commissioner R. L. Riley, who now holds that office, has adopted the plan of placing a premium on legitimate projects. The Prairie Farmer advocates its readers, who are the Middle West farmers, all of them prospective California farmers not to buy land in any California colony unless it has the approval of Commissioner Riley. The following is the editorial: "No matter how badly a state wants settlers, it cannot afford to get them under false pretenses. A land colonization scheme that lures settlers by false promises, loads them up with land at a price several times its real value and then leaves them flat on their backs, is hurting the country. California, which has been the scene of many wild-cat schemes, has established a state real estate department to protect land buyers. This department is endeavoring to correct abuses covering land colonization schemes," says R. L. Riley, commissioner. We also assume the responsibility of passing upon all such promotions and authorize the use in publicity of a statement that tion district, which has been projected in Kern county, and conserve the waste waters of the Kern river. The other way is by a process of deep wells, such as has been accomplished in the Coalinga section and in other parts of the valley. This is not such a large problem as it once was, due to the fact that power is now more plentiful that in former years, and is destined to be largely augmented within the next few years, when the Southern California Edison company complete work which is now in process of construction and in eastern Kern county, and its big power project at Shaver lake is completed. BUILDING FIRE TRAILS Making preliminary arrangements for the establishment of one of two construction camps to be used by men who will soon be engaged in building fire trails in the Santa Ana mountains. Assistant Forest Supervisor Burt Stephenson of Corona, formerly of El Tero, was in Trabuco canyon today. Beginning about December 1, two crews, headed by forces service fire guards, will start building fire trails. "We are going to continue with the development of the very important system of fire guards and trails in the Santa Ana mountains," said Stephenson. "We have been at work on this system for several winters, and have some very fine trails constructed." "This winter it is my aim to complete three major trails," Stephenson continued, "one of these will be the trail from the Trabuco canyon up the Holy Jim ridge to the top of Santiago Peak, where our lookout station is located. The second will be from the lookout station around Modjeska Peak, which is the northern stroll over to the Mendelson hotel for whatever might be on tap for dinner, have passed. The new San Juan Capistrano is arranging itself to serve a hurrying along kind of trade. The mission management has arranged to serve these hastening tourists, who are out to see all they can in the time they have allowed to themselves for their stay or their trip. There is a guide on hand to give the visitor a mass of detailed information, to point out Father Serra's old church, the old chimney and the other unique features of the mission, and do it quickly. CALIFORNIA GRAPE SYRUP California grape syrup is being featured at the Cincinnati beverage exposition. R. L. Nourgaret, chief of the viticultural division of the state department, whose aid in this has been secured, has written a pamphlet which was sent with the syrups to the convention. This convention is nation wide in its scope, and is attended by soft drink manufacturers and others interested in the various phases of the beverage business. Hundreds of gallons of the syrup is being served at the exposition, both in its diluted state and also as it is intended for beverage purposes, mixed with three times its bulk in water. In his pamphlet, Nougaret points out that the syrup can be used as a regular table syrup, for dressings, use at the soda fountain and at home as a beverage, by diluting with water and adding other fruit juices if desired. In speaking of the grape syrup, Nougaret says in his pamphlet. "This syrup is a California product."

In regular aging with Mayor the ordinance for the first granting the army a franchise exchange in California, which has been the scene of many wild-cat schemes, has established a state real estate department to protect land buyers. This department is endeavoring to correct abuses covering land colonization schemes," says R. L. Riley, commissioner. We also assume the responsibility of passing upon all such promotions and authorize the use in publicity of a statement that the project has been submitted to the state real estate commissioner, and has been approved by him. The basis of approval is soil adaptability, water, title, and method of sale. All advertising matter must be submitted to the commissioner for his approval. All salesmen must be licensed and a general supervision is maintained over the activities of the company. Unisound promotions will be affected by this department, and an effort made to eliminate fradulent land schemes. This plan is a good one. The weak point in it is that California cannot control Chicago or other outside companies selling land. If such concerns are trying to do an honest business, however, they will doubtless have their project approved by the California real estate department before offering land for sale. We would advise our readers to have nothing to do with any California land schemes not so approved. We will glad to secure from the California department a report on any land scheme in that state in which our readers are interested. HOOVER BUYS BIG TRACT One of the largest really development projects which is planned for the San Joaquin valley during the next few years is to be promoted by no less a personage than Herbert Hoover, former food administrator during the war, who will have as his managing director Ralph Merritt of San Francisco, who was food administrator for California during the World war. The development proposed is to convert a large tract of the Kern County Land company's holdings near Wasco into a large farming project, whether as a colonization scheme, or a straight farm development project, such as that of the Boston Land company ranch at Henrietta, is not known at present, but it is stated on excellent authority that the deal has been closed for the land, and that the ac- SALVATION ARMY WORK In the past six months the Salvation Army through its relief station on East Third Street has furnished free lodging for men 240 times and has furnished free 232 meals to men who were in financial straits. These figures were taken from a report of the work done by the Salvation Army in Santa Ana during the last six months. The report, issued today, is signed by Mrs. B. C. Smith, adjutant, in charge of the Salvation Army work here, and Mrs. A. Turner, ensign, assistant. The report shows that 480 garments and 126 pairs of old shoes have been given away. Employment has been found for 262 men and 46 women. During the six months, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Turner have spent 416 hours among the sick. They have conducted 130 street meetings and 156 meetings in their tent on Sycamore Street. Meetings at the county jail have been held every Sunday, and the County hospital has been visited frequently by te Salvationists. At the present time the Salvation Army is in dire straits for a meeting place. The tent on Sycamore street served very well during the summer months, but it cannot be used very well during the winter. Rain leaks through, the ground underfoot is wet, and it is impossible to keep the tent warm. Alex Brownridge, secretary of the Orange County Salvation Army It is intended for beverage purposes, mixed with three times its bulk in water. In his pamphlet, Nougaret points out that the syrup can be used as a regular table syrup, for dressings, use at the soda fountain and at home as a beverage, by diluting with water and adding other fruit juices if desired. In speaking of the grape syrup. Nougaret says in his pamphlet. "This syrup is a California product, because it is made of a class of grapes which is grown on a commercial scale, almost exclusively, in California and in no other part of the United tSates. California grape syrup is as distinctive in character from other syrups as is pure maple syrup. The grape from which it is mostly made is the wine grape varieties, which are no longer used for wine-making. These grapes produce highly colored red or golden hued white syrups and impart to them a special character and a distinctive flavor. California grape syrup is pure and unadulterated. No foreign substance such as sugar or glucose, is added in its manufacture to sweeten it nor extracts for flavoring, nor are preservatives added to insure keeping qualities. It is made of pure unfermented grape juice. Due to the methods of manufacture and especially to the varieties of Vinifera grapes used, brands of California grape syrup differ slightly in color, flavor and taste, but all possesses a distinctive character which stamps them as a unique product."

It is planned to take this land, which for years has been used as a cattle range by the Kern County Land company, and which contains some of the best and most fertile soil of Kern county, and by use of unlimited means and modern farming methods to place it in shape to produce many more thousands of dollars than has heertofore been realized with the pioneer methods of stock raising. While stock-raising will not be altogether done away with, it is possible and very probable that the growing of fine stock, with improved methods of breeding and feeding, may be a part of the proposed development. But primarily the plan will be to raise cotton, rice, develop orchards and vineyards, grow small grain and produce, with experiments and competent advice from men particularly versed in such things, the kind of cereals or fruits best adapted to the soils of that section. The biggest item looking to the development of this particular part of the yet undeveloped portion of the San Joaquin valley, is that of water, but there are two methods by which this may be overcome. One is the carrying out of the proposed irrigation. At the present time the Salvation Army is in dire straits for a meeting place. The tent on Sycamore street served very well during the summer, but it cannot be used very well during the winter. Rain leaks through, the ground underfoot is wet, and it is impossible to keep the tent warm. Alex Brownridge, secretary of the Orange County Salvation Army Advisory board, is co-operating with the Salvationists in an effort to find a meeting place. PASSING OF OLD SAN JUAN With Fred Stoeffel's fine brick block almost completed, and the old wooden store building that for many years comprised the major portion of the business section of the mission town torn down, the main street of San Juan Capistrano is today further away than ever before from the sleepy-Mexican town that pioneers knew and loved. There are many of the old landmarks left, to be sure. The Franciscan mission is drawing a steady stream of visitors, as it has since the state highway was paved through the town some years ago. It is the same state highway that has given the main street of San Juan Capistrano its newness. The state highway has brought new business to the place and also many new people. While there are hundreds of people stopping at the mission weekly, there are also hundreds that are stopping here merely for gasoline and something to eat. The old days, when a party of strangers would drop into the town, leisurely take in the mission, and The New York-California Oil company, drilling a wildcat well near Orange County park, made 309 feet of hole and then met with pipe trouble that is holding up the well. The National Security, in the same territory, is drilling in hard formation at 425. OFFICE PHONES HOME 753-1 SUNSET 341-J. Res. 125 E. Broadway, Cor.
