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. Robinson, Mr. Wakeman and Mr. Fleus, together with numerous others are busily engaged in plowing in The Santa Ana valley. The settlers are going to sow largely in rye, wheat and barley. They will also plant large quantities of castor beans. Settlers continue to flock into that locality, and are going right into agriculture. They generally buy as much land as they are able to and rent whatever more they need adjoining it. During the past week Mr. Robert McFadden sold 40 acres to a Mr. Hickey at $15.00 per acre. He also rented 200 acres to a Mr. Jilson for one year. Mr. Nash sold ten acres at $25.00 per acre to L. E. Smith of Anaheim Landing. Mr. Spurgeon sold two lots to a Mr. Potts of Los Angeles. The contract for the erection of a school house was let on Saturday last for $575.00 that being the lowest bid. Fifteen hundred pounds of nails have been used in the construction of cells in the Anaheim city prison. By the use of these nails, driven crosswise into layers of boards, six inches in width, the cells are made burglar proof. The prison will be completed by Christmas and our entprising city marshal is looking for suitable candidates to grace it. From Gazette Files of 35 Years Ago David Yorba was in town yesterday. He informs us he has been engaged for some time past in surveying the lands of the Yorba estate, and the same will come up for final distribution among the eight heirs in the superior court shortly. He finds that much of the lowlands at Yorba have been transferred to first-class water bearing soil, which is probably caused by seepage from the irrigation at South Riverside, and the land will become valuable as yielding large quantities of water that will pay to develop. The young men's club which met at the Del Campo last Thursday evening organized by electing Mr. Melrose president, Mr. McKinley secretary, and Mr. Cahen treasurer. A committee was appointed on by-laws consisting of Arthur Lewis, Herman Stern, Otto Rust and Richard Melrose, and they will report at the second meeting to be held this evening. The club has not yet been named, nor has the frequency of the meetings been determined upon. Those present report a shockingly good time, and no doubt the club will be very successful during the long winter evenings that are now before us.

Wilson has established quite a large dancing class of young gentlemen in Anaheim, and on Tuesday afternoon next he intends organizing a regular dancing academy at which young masters and misses of our city may be carefully instructed at a moderate price. No one in these liberal days strenuously opposes dancing if properly regulated, and it is considered well that our little masters and misses should subject their flexible feet and limbs to a course of dancing lessons. They may thus learn to walk thier genteel parts in life with a more assured ease and grace. On Wednesday last as C. H. Forbes and Constable (Rose were dressed the bridge near Col. Sanford's place below Sam Bland's they discovered a dead man lying in the water. They immediately notified Justice Thompson of Los Nietos, who held an inquest the verdice of which was that the man came to death by drowning. The artesian well on Hanna's ranch has reached a depth of 180 feet. Work is now suspended for want of funds. In the garden of Mr. Bremmerman of this city there is a rose bush twenty feet in height and six inches in diameter at its base. It is in full bloom. The city council met Tuesday night Mr. Rimpan acting as clerk. The city treasurer's report for the month of November showed a balance of $42.62 in money on hand. This was referred to the attention of the finance committee. J. M.

Those present report a shockingly good time, and no doubt the club will be very successful during the long winter evenings that are now before us. Fred Hartung was down from Los Angeles one day last week on a short visit to his property interests here. Fred is taking an active interest in the development of our water district, and looks with approval upon the cementing of ditches and the increase of water supply. Fred used to be an irrigator himself and relates that one day while irrigating Judge Pierce drove by with a band, of four or five cows, and the animals stopped and drank up all the water so he had to stop irrigating. W. W. Scott was the only member of the grand jury from this section, and is rejoiced over the fact that its deliberations are over. He returned to his home on Tuesday evening, the grand jury having been discharged that afternoon by Judge Towner, and will now see if he cannot do some work for himself on his place east of town. Sunday's rain amounted to .17 of an inch according to Mr. Dickel's guage. Total for the season 1.26. Last season to date we had 3.66 inches of rain, an a total for the season of 15.77. The Fullerton band is making extensive preparations for their annual masquerade ball to be given at Chadburn's hall New Year's eve, and the boys expect to have a large turnout. Prizes will be offered to the best sustained lady and gentleman character, and a sumptuous repast will be served at midnight. Charley Stone will be floor manager—a ball at Fullerton without Charley as floor manager would not be a success. Billy Hale and R. Mears will be inspectors of maskers, and the members of the band will see to it that their guests will dance the old year out and the new year in amid scenes of joyous revelry. The members and their instruments are as follows: Walter Crowther, leader solo cornet; Wesley The biggest club and always has Chica, located on Sunset Beach and The club has at the point of mesa Its ponds are low area toward Hunny years ago this chian wells and been by pumping from and that method for the flats he since.

Gibson, Esq. contemplates erecting a large and commodious new residence on the portion of his farm nearest to Anaheim, and near the residence of Mr. B. F. Kellogg. A poor family named Curry have arrived here from San Diego in great distress. The wife was yesterday confined and they have no money or provisions—no means of any kind. Those charitably disposed may leave whatever they have to give at Langenberger & Co.'s, or call upon the distressed family at the brick house owned by Mr. Hammes. Born, in this city on the 16th inst., to the wife of T. Curry, twins. Also on the 9th inst., to the wife of Henry Kroeger, a daughter. About one-half inch of rain has fallen since Wednesday evening last. The shipment of the new Anaheim vintage thus far in the season, are upwards of 300 pipes containing in the neighborhood of forty or fifty thousand gallons of wine of the very best quality. It is estimated that within the course of the next six weeks there will have been shipped from here from one fourth to one half of the entire vintage, this from the favorable season being thrown upon the market much earlier than heretofore. As the wine is better in quality it is hoped that better prices will prevail for it. In conversation with Frank Porter the other day, we were gratified to learn that no opposition exists in his neighborhood to cementing the southside ditch, for which we trust a contract will be let at Saturday's meeting. Placentia avenue is being beautified beyond comparison by the new cement ditch which is now nearing completion along that thoroughfare. Mr. Fay informs us that the report of the committee appointed to go up and inspect the cement work at Placentia and that on the flumes, will be made Saturday. Ada Faulkner died at Santa Ana on Sunday, after a lingering illness of upwards of a year, due to malpractice.

Farming and oil are crowding the gun clubs off the map of Orange county. The withdrawal of gunnery from the lowlands has significance in relation to the underground water supply. Artesian wells that have hitherto been used in filling duck ponds will no longer flow for anything but making crops grow. The area used by gun clubs has been materially reduced in the past year. A good deal of land that has been leased to gun clubs has been sold to sugar beet men. Clubs here and there have been put out of commission by the mere fact that the land became more valuable for the growing of crops than it had been for hunting purposes. According to R. E. Larter, of Westminster, one of the best informed men in the county on game conditions, the cutting down of the area in ponds has just about strangled the hunting on the remaining ponds. "Hunting on the club properties has been very poor this year." he said. "There is not enough water left in the lowlands to attract the ducks. They won't come in. It takes a lot of tules and ponds to make the country look like home to a duck, and when the ponds that are left are few and scattered the clubs might just as well throw up their hands and quit. I believe that within the next year, practically every club in the lowlands will get out of business." nearly solved itself in this county. The farmer, through the rise in the value of land, has delivered the gun clubs some solar pluxus blows. The gun clubs cannot survive. Scores of Los Angeles men who used to come to Orange county to hunt ducks have definitely given up the hopes of continuing their sport here, and have formed or joined clubs in the San Joaquin valley. PUBLISHING NAMES MAY CAUSE INJUSTICE Men Marked as Slackers May Have To Enlist. The declaration that the United States is to publish the names of all draft slackers is troubling V. V. Tubbs, who was chairman of the draft board of one or two draft districts in Orange county. "I am afraid that the publication of names will do an injustice to a good many loyal men," said he. "I certainly am not objecting to the publication of the names of real slackers, but it would hurt me to see branded as a slacker any man who should be branded so." Tubbs said that he feels certain the records turned over to the government by the two Orange county boards will bring about no injustices. "We have made an effort to clear up every man's record," said Tubbs. "I believe that we did clear up the records, too, but I am sure that a great many boards did not follow the policy followed here." Many men registered for the draft and then entered the army before they were called in the draft. In Detroit, it will be known as the Ford Institute of Technology, and its curriculum will embrace those subjects which lead to degrees in mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering. Outstanding is Mr. Ford's decision to grant monetary scholarships to all students; freshmen will receive scholarships of approximately $20.00 a week. Rates for advanced students have not yet been announced. Like all Ford ventures, the Ford Institute presents its own deviation from customary systems. The school year is divided into two parts, half of the time being spent in class, lecture rooms and laboratories, and half in the shops doing actual work under actual working conditions. This is so divided that the students work every two weeks. The reason for this class-to-shop and shop-to-class method is given in the school announcement: The Ford Institute of Technology purposes to give that education which in life directed by purposes, in order that there need be no 'period of adjustment' after graduation. Theoretical work is supplemented by experience in practice, and by contact with actual conditions in life. Commercial standards relative to methods and costs of manufacture, shop organization, accuracy, production, and time, are stressed. The Laboratory at the disposal of students, continues the Ford Announcement, includes the Highland Park Plant, the Tractor Plant and Blast Furnaces at River Rouge, a railroad, a lumber camp and many subsidiary operations. Every phase of engineering is covered, not by meager equipment for demonstration and experimental purposes, but by a has been very poor this year." he said. "There is not enough water left in the lowlands to attract the ducks. They won't come in. It takes a lot of tules and ponds to make the country look like home to a duck, and when the ponds that are left are few and scattered the clubs might just as well throw up their hands and quit. I believe that within the next year, practically every club in the lowlands will get out of business." The biggest club in the county is and always has been the Bolsa Chica, located on the coast between Sunset Beach and Huntington Beach. The club has a fine clubhouse on the point of mesa near Sunset Beach its ponds are located on the tules area toward Huntington Beach. Some years ago this club closed its artesian wells and began filling its ponds by pumping from a drainage ditch, and that method of supplying water for the flats has continued ever since. The Little Bolsa club, a small club adjoining the Bolsa Chica toward Wintersburg, also pumps its water from the drainage canal passing by its property. Larter, a member of the club, said that this will be the last winter for the club. This land is owned by the club. It may be grim irony, after all the fights that the farmers have made against the gun clubs in legislative halls and all the fights that the gun clubs have made against road shooters that victory is coming to the farmers quietly and bloodlessly. The farmers are literally elbowing the gun clubs out of the country. For years there has been protest against the presence of the gun clubs. At first the ground for protest was the resentment old-timers, who had been used to hunting all over the swamp country just as though it was public lands, felt when reservations were made. The sight of tall barbed wire fences built with many strands made the road shooter grit his teeth. Later the protest was made on the fact that the gun clubs used very great quantities or artesian water. Reckless waste was charged against them. It was declared that the big wells of the clubs were allowed to run the year around. Several years ago, agitation against the waste was started. Several efforts were made to secure legislation against allowing underground water needed by farmers and orchardists to be used for just and costs of manufacture, shop or organization, accuracy, production, and time, are stressed. The Labratory at the disposal of students, continues the Ford Announcement, includes the Highland Park Plant, the Tractor Plant and Blast Furnaces at River Rouge, a railroad, a lumber camp and many subsidiary operations. Every phase of engineering is covered, not by meager equipment for demonstration and experimental purposes, but by a million-of-dollar worth of machinery and apparatus—all the latest in scientific development. Although the Ford Technical Institute was announced but a short time ago, more than 1000 applicants have already been received. Every state in the Union has had its applicant; and many letters have come from Canada. Henry Ford is taking a personal interest in the new school. M.W. Salscheider 133 N.

Later the protest was made on the fact that the gun clubs used very great quantities or artesian water. Reckless waste was charged against them. It was declared that the big wells of the clubs were allowed to run the year around. Several years ago, agitation against the waste was started. Several efforts were made to secure legislation against allowing underground water needed by farmers and orchardists to be used for just mere sport. Two years ago Walter Eden, then assemblyman from this county introduced in the legislature a bill declaring the use of artesian water for duck club purposes to be a public nuisance open to baatement. Single handed, Eden made a fight for the bill. Arrayed against him was the State Fish and Game commission, recognized as the most powerful lobbying body at Sacramento, and the solid delegations from Los Angeles and San Francisco. Many of the "cow county" assemblymen, including Assembly-Hughes, who is reported to be a very strong farm bureau adherent, voted against the measure. It debeloped in this fight, which is recorded as one of the hardest of the last legislature, that many men would fight harder to save their sport than they would to save their pocketbooks. At least, it so appeared to on-lookers. The Los Angeles assemblymen, at the request of Los Angeles friends, were almost solidly against Eden. Most of the membership of the clubs at that time came and still comes from Los Angeles. The gun clubs slipped through a bill making it unlawful for anyone to shoot a firearm on a highway. The superior court of this county a year ago knocked this law out. The fight between the gun club and the farmer has apparently very...
