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 Age Today The flourishing village of Santa Ana now embraces 24 well constructed and comfortable houses, among which are a store and a post office. Parties are talking of constructing a commodius hotel, as constant inquiry is being made for one by travelers and settlers. The indications are that the country around Santa Ana for many miles will soon be occupied by beautiful garden homes, such as only can be brought into existence in this remarkable climate. During last week twelve families camped down on the Williams estate, and are even now nearly all permanently located thereabouts. While the land around Santa Ana is the very best, the price has thus far been quite low, hence the influx of settlers. We are informed by A. L. Bush, Esq., that the McFadden ranches have been withdrawn from market at $16.00 per acre, as they were going like hot cakes at that value. It is to be regretted that propietors withdraw their land from sale because it sells well at a reasonable figure. The same course has hitherto been pursued around Anaheim and always with a detrimental effect. Old and well informed residents estimate that there are 10,000 inhabitants in Los Angeles county lying to From Gazette Files of 28 Years Ago Sheriff Nichols was in town on Tuesday serving summons and casting an eagle eye about for offenders against the majesty of the law. He informs us that Alvares, the alleged cattle thief, was acquitted by his friends swearing he could not talk English. This was the turning point in the case, and as Alvares can talk English as well as an ordinary professor of Philology it would appear that queer things are proven on the witness stand. Alex Henry, whose vigorous ideas on the co-operation plan are forcibly expressed in a communication appearing on the first page this morning, has recently come off first best in a legal battle with Thacker Bros., the orange buyers. They purchased his crop of oranges last year, and Mr. Henry began an attachment suit against them to recover, and levied on a number of orange boxes and other paraphernalia stored in the warehouse at the Santa Fe depot. He was told that he was on the wrong track, and nothing would come of the suit, but on Monday Mr. Cauldwell, agent for Thacker Bros., came to town and settled the claim, paying the original amount and costs and departing in peace. Frank By was over from Santa Ana on Tuesday and brought over the deed SHIP BOARD BY Republican Senate Confirm Appointment Because of recent part of the shipbuilding project Board apoplex will be held until such time as F name a new one.

It is to be regretted that propietors withdraw their land from sale because it sells well at a reasonable figure. The same course has hitherto been pursued around Anaheim and always with a detrimental effect. Old and well informed residents estimate that there are 10,000 inhabitants in Los Angeles county lying to the south of the San Gabriel River. On Wednesday last we noticed that about twenty tons of assorted merchandise was at the landing consigned to San Bernardino and points in Arizona. It is thought that Anaheim is indebted to San Bernardino for the late accessions of Chinese population. The willow hedges along the pleasant streets of Anaheim are being trimmed and pruned preparatory to the next year's growth. From this process quite a large amount of firewood is being obtained. Rev. L. P. Webber is succeeding finely with his new Westminister colony on the Bolsa Chica (Little Pocket). He reports the prospect for early settlement most flattering. On Wednesday last, on the premises of C. A. Ferguson, 58 head of horses of all kinds, sizes and conditions were sold at constable's sale, they having been taken up under the trespass law. The horses belonged to Abel Stearns, who on the day of sale sent in a bond for the amount of judgment and the costs with notice of appeal. This however was found to be insufficient, as the statute requires that a bond for double the amount of judgment and costs must be given. Hence judgment went by default in this case and the sale went on. The total sum received for the lot of horses was $311.75, being $5.38 per head. The entire rainfall for the present season as estimated on rain gauges by W. M. Higgins and W. R. Olden, Esq. has been two inches. The temperature in this favored region throughout every season of the year is even and unvariable—the skies are beautiful and pure, and the sun rises and sets at the verge of a canopy of rainbows.

A petition was received by the city trustees Tuesday night asking that a gravel sidewalk and redwood curb be constructed on both sides of Los Angeles street from Center to Broadway. The petition was signed by O. R. Ludke, J. Backs, Mrs. Metz, R. Ludke, Mrs. Rimpau, Mrs. Dreyfus and W. J. Cole. Another petition was filed asking that an arc light be maintained at the intersection of Lemon and Broadway. It was signed by Mrs.Davis George Bauer, H. C. Gade, John Meredith, C. Lorenz, W. W. Weaver, F. Baum, Mrs. Boege and others. An alarm of fire was rung in about 7 o'clock Monday evening for a blaze that consumed the Makeel residence on East street. The fire department was promptly on hand, but no water was to be had, consequently the efforts of the boys was confined to carrying out household effects.

A Mormon saint named St. Clair accompanied by his grandmother, Ellen St. Clair, visited, humbugged and left Anaheim during the weak. They but lately gave a course of lectures to the Crow Indians, which was said to have been highly appreciated by them. John Fisher of the Planters Hotel is making various improvements to his premises, for the more thorough accommodations of the public. The extensive tract of land owned by Glassel, Chapman and Smith and situated near Santa Ann, has been completely surveyed and laid off into 40, 80, and 160 acre lots by the county surveyor Frank Lecouverte, and may now be considered as fairly on the market. It is not announced upon what terms the sales are to be effected. President Amerige, who has been absent in the east some five or six months, was deposed as presiding officer of the Water Company by the directors at the meeting on Saturday. Mr. Ryan was chosen to fill the vacancy. A sharp shock of earthquake was felt about 12 o'clock Sunday night, which was preceded by the low rumbling sound usual on such occasions and followed by a loud report. It is attributed to the passing of an aerolite similar to that which ebook us up some time ago. At a meeting of the Golden Belt fruit association yesterday applications were received from Mr. Yarnell for the position of secretary and book-packing house, and from Alex Wright for the position of secretry and book-keeper A committee was appointed by the board, consisting of Mestra, Crowther and Hall to interview the gentlemen as to their qualifications and salary required, with power to act.

Mr. Fowler has disposed of his interest in 270 acres of best land decided to the co-operative factory, but not in the trust deed, to Mr. Hansen of Orengethorpe.

Because of revelations of waste on the part of the present Administration of more than $2,000,000,000 in its shipbuilding program, the new Shipping Board appointed by the President will be held up by the Senate until such time as President Harding may name a new and more satisfactory one. On the board the President has placed Rear Admiral Benson, of Georgia, a Democrat, under whom many of the scandals have occurred, for a term of seven years; Frederick I. Thompson, of Alabama, another Democrat, for a term of five years; Joseph N. Teal, of Oregon, a Democrat, for four years; John A. Donald, of New York, a Democrat, for three years; Chester H. Rowell of California, a Progressive who is labeled as a Republican, but really supported Cox, for two years; Guy D. Goff, of Wisconsin, also labeled as a Republican, for one year, and Charles Sutter of Missouri, with the same label, but friendly to the President, for one year. Pursuant to the President's usual policy throughout his administration, as exemplified in his fixing the price of wheat and not of cotton during the war, the South is highly favored in the naming of the new board. As the Republican Congress will make a thorough housecleaning of the shipping activities of the Government, it is considered here that these newly appointed Southern Democrats are out other automobile to his present stock on hand. An article is just now going the rounds of the daily and weekly press, as well as of agrlultural papers, reporting the findings of an investigation of farm incomes of 185 farmers visited in three sections: one in Washington county, Ohio; 25 farms; the second in Clinton county, Indiana; 100 farms; and the third of 60 farms in Dane county, Wisconsin. These are running under the general headlines to the effect that the farmer does not have an average of over $500 in cash, after netting 5 per cent and over on his investment, in addition to his food, fuel and house rent. These figures are used to account for the drift of the rural population to the cities. An amusing side of the statistics is shown, in the statement that farmers' food, fuel, house rent, etc., are estimated to be worth $359 per year or practically $30 per month. One dark bedroom in New York, looking out on a court, costs more than that. The food consumed on the farmer's table and taken from his farm, all reckoned at $30 per month, make the prices of the city seem profiteering indeed. But how many ministers, teachers, city clerks, employees in city conditions, the increasing number of the unemployed now occupying the park benches, are making 5 per cent on any investment and banking $500 after home and fuel and food are accounted for? The American farmer today owns as much property as the combined valuation of all the railroads, all the manufacturing industries, and all the matter of the Petition of Electors of La Mirada District, as to the Annexation to the Fullerton Union High School District. In the matter of Road District Improvement No. 6, Resolution of Intention No. 6., an Order was passed directing specifications for work and boundaries of said district. Olive Bridge, as improved by Chris McNeil, contractor, was accepted on recommendation of the County Engineer. Specifications, plans and profiles as presented by the county Engineer, his recommendations, for the improvement of 3½ miles of Anaheim-Cypress Blvd., in the Third Road District, and 1.88 miles on Fifth street, Santa Ana, and three miles on Garden Grove Ave., in the Second Road District, were adopted by the Board. Notice for bids for doing said work to be given by publication in the Anaheim Gazette. Bids to be received up to December, 28, 1920, at 11 a.m. The Board ordered that a final hearing of Road District Improvement No. 3 be had December, 7, 1920 at 11:00 a.m. A resolution was regularly passed and adopted by the Board expressing the approval of Senate Bill No. 3741; H.R. 13483. Same being "An Act to provide for the Establishment and Maintenance of a Forest Experiment Station in co-operation with the University of California." ALIEN LAW MAJORITY OF 466,397 IS SHOWN The California alien land law was adopted by a majority of 466,397. It was shown by the official count made public by the Secretary of Pursuant to the President's usual policy throughout his administration, as exemplified in his fixing the price of wheat and not of cotton during the war, the South is highly favored in the naming of the new board. As the Republican Congress will make a thorough housecleaning of the shipping activities of the Government, it is considered here that these newly appointed Southern Democrats are out of luck. Following are some of the reasons why the Senate will not confirm an administration shipping board: Thirteen hundred government-built ships are today worth less than one-half of what the government spent to build them. It cost the government $3,000,000,000 to produce these vessels and their value is today $1,800,000,000 or less. Losses incurred by the United States Shipping Board, through the utter collapse of its accounting system, through inefficiency, through overcharges, through amortization and all other causes are estimated at $2,000,000,000 according to Martin J. Gillen, former special executive assistant to John Barton Payne, former chairman. Hundreds of millions of dollars belonging to the board floated around the country without anyone knowing just where they had gone. Other hundreds of millions were deposited in banks without any record of their whereabouts. Many millions were lost in overpayments, in one case amounting to $23,000,000 on a payment of $34,000,-000. One hundred and seventy million dollars was placed in the hands of operators and not a single record was kept of it—not even the names of the operators. Profits of 57 per cent on the job was allowed to operators for the building of the government ships. In August, 1919, more than $2,500,-000,000 had been disbursed through the Shipping Board and not a record was available to show how this enormous fund had been distributed. The office of treasurer likewise possessed no record to show where $243,-000,000 worth of securities held by the Shipping Board had been deposited, and these subsequently were found in the vaults of a trust company in Philadelphia. The sum of $623,000 was paid twice for the same work. But how many ministers, teachers, city clerks, employees in city conditions, the increasing number of the unemployed now occupying the park benches, are making 5 per cent on any investment and banking $500 after home and fuel and food are accounted for? The American farmer today owns as much property as the combined valuation of all the railroads, all the manufacturing industries, and all the banks in the United States, and in addition owns a goodly share of these banks, factories and railroads. It is hard to convince one that the most general and most abiding satisfaction, comfort and profit lies elsewhere than in a farm home, when on a Saturday night, in the average village, there not being space in front of the local "movie" house, miles of automobiles are parked on side streets, hundreds of them, all owned by farmers, in to see "the pictures." This situation is common in New England, all along the Atlantic coast, in the Middle west and the West and Northwest; in fact, all over the country. As long as there are 105,683.188 mouths to feed in these United States the American farmer is bound to have a profitable job in addition to the satisfaction and comfort of a sure home. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS The petition of Clemma F. Woods, et al., to vacate and abandon Center Street, Laguna Beach, was presented and set for hearing December 21st, 1920, at 10:00 a.m. Notice to be given by publication in the Laguna Life. Map of Tract No. 65 was received by the Board and referred to the City Engineer of the City of Orange, the city nearest to, and within three miles of said tract. against Mrs. Sara Wright, et.al., to. It was ordered that the assessment Lot 38, Block "A" of Bradford's subdivision, of Placentia, be cancelled; for the reason that said property is owned and used exclusively for religious purposes. A resolution and order was passed. FARMERS MAKE MONEY, SAYS EXPERT Farmers are making money, say, a statement just issued by the E. A. Strout Farm Agency. About every so often, blithesome young college professors of economic agriculture courses and so-called investigating specialists of the United States agricultural departments set forth on a pilmigrage of publicity with statistics disseminated through all the newspapers of the country to show how the farmer is tending toward the "down-and-out" condition, and going to the demnition bowwows generally. Naturally, the farmer and the agricultural papers "lap up" such statistics and further spread them, with the proverbial grumble that belongs appropriately to the situation. As time goes along, the only result of the statistics is that the farmer is still going along in the abiding satisfaction, comfort and profit of his farm home, occasionally adding an- Lot 38, Block "A" of Bradford's subdivision, of Placentia, be cancelled; for the reason that said property is owned and used exclusively for religious purposes.
