In the Days of Long Ago terms of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of this Paper. From The Gazette 80 Years Ago Today Christmas eve and day in Anaheim were celebrated in the high old German style, with open house and boundless hospitality. Friends joined friends and many families whose scattered members had been absent for a year, joined again around the well spread tables. The occasion was one of reunion, merry making and the giving of presents, and we are certain that the inhabitants of no city in California had a merrier, happier Christmas. From the Halls of Momus came forth ye mystique krue of comos, and no little amusement was created by their grotesque appearance at the houses of our citizens. The San Francisco Alta of the 25th has the following concerning Anaheim wine: The chief wine establishment of the state, and we presume very few n Europe handle quantities so large, is the Anaheim Wine Growers' association, which in 1870 made 500,000 gallons and shipped 267,000 gallons to the Eastern states; and in 1869 made 296,000 gallons. The increase from 1869 to 1870 is very large. The company owns no land in its corporate capacity, but the share holders in their individual capacity have 150,000 vines, and the company makes the wine for them, and also buys grapes and wine from other vineyards in Anaheim. The company began on a small scale about seven years ago, but has grown to be one of the remark- 25 Years Ago Quite a number of contracts for raising beets are being entered into between farmers here and the Chino factory at rates but a trifle lower than the rate paid last year. The stated price is $3.00 per ton, but there is a guarantee of reduction in the freight rate from 75. to 50 cents per ton, and other concessions in loading. The figures are a compromise rate, and probably a large acreage will be set to beets. W. J. Cole was in from Hard-scrabble on Tuesday. He reports ice standing in the sun up to noon on Monday at the ranch, but no ill effects from the cold snap. The lack of rain has served to send up the price of hay and grain, but he looks for a plenty of wetness before the season is much older. Richard Krebs came over from Santa Anita Tuesday evening to spend New Year's with relatives and friends in town. Richard is superintendent of Lucky Baldwin's winery and is accompanied on his trip by his little daughter and the daughter 'of a Mr. Baldwin who lives at Santa Anita, no relative of the old man's. Captain Schumacher was reminded very agreeably Tuesday evening.

Zeyn, Charles Loudke, William Champlin, Frederick Rimpau, John Hartung, Oscar Zeyn Emma Stone, Albert Rimpau, Eddie T. Schmidt, Henry Kuchel, Nellie Kuchel, Otto Rust, Nick Bittner, H. Clay Kellogg, Libbe Kellogg, Jane Kellogg, Erwin Kellogg, Charles Hanna, Minnie Hanna, Felicidad Carrillo, and Minale Calisher. Three hundred head of trespassing broncho horses have been fed a square meal of 'powder and ball' by the "no nonsense" citizens of Los Nietos. On the 20th inst. the case of E. A. Ferguson vs. Don Abel Stearns, for trespassing came up on appeal in the county court, and was decided for the defendant. We understand the trespass law was construed to apply to original Anaheim precinct, before the boundaries were enlarged by the Board of Supervisors, and hence, Ferguson being outside was not granted the benefit of the law. A cuss passing by the name of Sterling who claimed to be the bosom friend of W. C. Ralston of the Bank of California, visited and "bilked" our town last week. He stated that he had $200,000 to invest in lands and proceeded to negotiate for all the available real estate hereabouts. He related, confidentially, that he was making $25,000 per day in real estate transactions. Among other purchases he bought five square miles of the Glassell tract, and a section of our neighbor, John Hanna. Prices were of no consequence to him. But Suddenly he took his departure, and after he had gone it was discovered Richard Krebs came over from Santa Anita Tuesday evening to spend New Year's with relatives and friends in town. Richard is superintendent of Lucky Baldwin's winery and is accompanied on his trip by his little daughter and the daughter of a Mr. Baldwin who lives at Santa Anita, no relative of the old man's. Captain Schumacher was reminded very agreeably Tuesday evening of an old Chicago friend, H. H. Arnold, by receiving his photograph through the mail. The little five-year old son of A. D. Porter had the misfortune on Thursday morning last, while playing with an elder brother at his home, to fall from a small wagon in which he was riding and break his left arm below the elbow. At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Hatfield near Brookshurst yesterday afternoon Walter Parrett was married to Miss Alta Hatfield, Judge J. B. Pierce officiating. The young couple have the best wishes of the wide circle of friends for a prosperous journey through life. They were the recipients of numerous presents. We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of a generous quantity of the wedding cake. Mike Reagan intends leaving for the northern part of the state. Mike is a good square fellow, and we are sorry to see him go, and he is coming to be quite a lady killer. Allan Melrose went up to Los Angeles yesterday to take in the bicycle rider between here and the Sandwash and when he gets started he goes like a streak of lightning. The Tustin bank building fared rather badly in the wind of Saturday afternoon. A fire wall projecting some ten feet above the roof on the east side of the building was blown down during the height of the storm, about three oclock in the afternoon, crashing through the roof into the hall on the second floor above, and very narrowly missing Mr. Busse, the cashier, who had gone up stairs to see that the windows were properly fastened. The loss is estimated at four of five hundred dollars.

He stated that he had $200,000 to invest in lands and proceeded to negotiate for all the available real estate hereabouts. He related, confidentially, that he was making $25,000 per day in real estate transactions. Among other purchases he bought five square miles of the Glassell tract, and a section of our neighbor, John Hanna. Prices were of no consequence to him. But Suddenly he took his departure, and after he had gone it was discovered that he had upon his pretensions, given drafts for small sums on San Francisco, and received his coin here. One of these drafts, amounting to $50.00 he adroitly disposed of to Heimann & George. The judiciary committee of the city council was instructed by the board to prepare an ordinance prohibiting owners of horses from leaving them unhitched in the streets. The ball of the Anaheim Leiderkrantz will take place at the public school house this evening, instead of at the place heretofore designated. Ample preparations have been made and all who attend will be certain to have a pleasant time. Dr. Heyerman is setting out 500 walnut trees across from his residence dence. The weather sharp says that it will rain next Friday and continue to rain until the middle of January. Anaheim-Masonic Lodge No. 207 installed the following officers Tuesday: T. Cassad, J. W.; E. Evey, S. W. Wm. M. Higgins, J. W.; E. A. Pullen, S. D.; P. Davis, J. D.; T. J. Kerns and Goldstein, Stewart; C. C. Sweetair, Tyler That our orange growers will undoubtedly make a killing with their season's crop is illustrated in nothing so forcibly as the experiences of our friend, McFadden and his consignment of some thirty-six boxes of unripe seedlings shipped to San Francisco a week or two ago. The oranges were absolutely the worst that Mac had ever raised, and such was his revulsion at the idea of shipping them to the market that he threw several boxes of them away. The other day he received a check notting him over a dollar a box for them, and he was extremely sorry indeed that he threw so many of the oranges away. Under the old consignment regime he shipped many a carload of fancy navels which netted him less than this, as did many another grower, and now they are "shut" of these practices, they ought to do pretty well with their crops. Miss Lella Pfenniger is home from the Los Angeles Normal for the Christmas holidays, and is spending the time with her mother at Fullerton. Mrs. A. L.

This is according to a report of the survey made by Dr. F. W. Hatch, general superintendent of state hospitals, who found that a majority of the institutions now are overcrowded and that practically no further provision has been made for expansion. Dr. Hatch will lay the matter before the Medical Superintendents of the various institutions for the purpose of verifying his figures and outlining the steps to be taken to bring about relief. The program probably will take the form of recommendations to the legislature requesting an additional hospital or for an appropriation large enough to materially enlarge some of the buildings now in use. An evidence of overcrowding, Dr. Hatch shows in his report that, including paroles, the hospital, at Stockton is credited with 1,610 patients, or 44 per cent over its certified capacity. Much the same conditions, he says prevails at Napa, Mendocino, Agnews, Norwalk and Southern California. The Sonoma State Home for Feeble-minded is the only one of the seven hospitals included in the report that does not show evidence of overcrowding. The certified capacity of this institution is 1,774, while the census reported to Dr. Hatch shows a total of 1,580 patients. The seven hospitals give a census of 11,883 patients. Of this number, according to the report, 993 are on parole. The question of urging the legislature to provide an additional hospital, that breeds much of the trouble in Poland, the Flume impasse, and other disputes that have continually arisen. What is there in such a record to command the favorable attention of the Nobel authorities? "The league covenant, doubtless considered the crowning triumph of Wilson, the peacemaker, has done nothing in its almost two years of existence to lessen the dangers of war. The American voters, by a plurality of close to 9,000,000 determined that it was not to their welfare to embrace the league. Other nations, hastily endorsing the covenant, now regret that they are bound by its terms, and their delegates to the assembly at Geneva are loudly voicing their dissatisfaction with many of its obligations. Already steps have been taken for the raising of allied military expeditions to wage war in far-away countries. Far from curbing wars that have raged without interruption since the inception of the league, arrangements are being made for additional bloody exchanges. Can it be that the league is the reason for the prize?" DREAMING DREAMS Since the days of '49 Californians have stood on the river banks at the times of the winter floods and lamented the passing of all that wealth as an element of destruction and wished it could be held till mid-summer and poured upon the thirsty land. The standing on the bank has continued all these years with but few examples of action. There has been occasional flood conservation and rich crops have resulted, but this is so seldom as to merely serve as a striking example of what we should all be doing. We have united strength more or less in shouting "Store the Floods." Several have dreamed these dreams of OLDEST COLLEGE ON CONTINENT University Of Mexico Established 500 Years Ago Now that normal political an economic conditions are being rapidly restored in this country the famous University of Mexico, which was founded nearly five hundred years ago is preparing to widen its scope of educational influences, according to announcement which comes from the City of Mexico, where the institution is situated. An exchange of students with the leading colleges of the United States is proposed. During the sixteenth, seventeenth centuries the University of Mexico was recognized as the greatest educational institution upon the American continent. It was about the year 1548 that Don Antonio de Mendoza, first Viceroy of Mexico and the founder of the colleges of Tlahtolco for the Indians, and of San Juan de Latran and La Concepción for the mestizos, saw the necessity of establishing a university and to this effect gave some lands of his own to be the site of the future institution. A petition was then sent to the King of Spain asking him to give his consent for the formal opening of the University. The petition was received with great favor by Charles V and by a decree at Toro on September, 21, 1551, he ordered its foundation, giving for that purpose an annuity of $1000. By this time, however, Mendoza had left the government of Mexico to take charge of that of Peru, so that his immediate successor, Luis de Velasco, carried out the orders of the King. Besides the donation of $1000 a year Charles V gave the new University all the privileges of Salamanca. It would be interesting to Americans to know the mental processes of members of the Norwegian Storthing which led them to hand the Nobel award to the President," says the Republican Publicity Association, thrus its president, Hon Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "Certainly he has done nothing to further peace in his own country, and he was instrumental in creating unnatural situations abroad that already have been the cause of a number of hostile outbreaks, and because of which much blood will be shed in the future. "Had the Shorthing been familiar with the American political campaign of 1916 it is hardly probable that the prize would have gone to Mr. Wilson. Seldom in the history of the world has there been displayed such a callous disregard for a nation's lives and treasure as that which marked the efforts of the President to win a re-election of the slogan. "He kept us out of war" Knowing full well that the course of the German nation would inevitably involve his own country in the war, he nevertheless refused to take the most elementary measures of preparation, fearful that if he did so it would lessen the potency of his hypocritical campaign watchword. As a result the nation was compelled to compress into a few weeks preparations that should have been progressing for months at a far less cost and a much higher production. Apparently recent American history did not furnish the inspiration for the Wilson award. "Even after the nation had finally minded is the only one of the seven hospitals included in the report that does not show evidence of overcrowding. The certified capacity of this institution is 1,774, while the census reported to Dr. Hatch shows a total of 1,580 patients. The seven hospitals give a census of 11,883 patients. Of this number, according to the report, 993 are on parole. The question of urging the legislature to provide an additional hospital, Dr. Hatch indicated, depends a good deal upon development and the attitude of the Medical Superintendents. He intimated his belief, however, that whatever growth in commitments there will be to meet in the next two years can be met through extensions to the present hospitals. THE MEDDLER GETS A MEDAL "It would be interesting to Americans to know the mental processes of members of the Norwegian Storthing which led them to hand the Nobel award to the President," says the Republican Publicity Association, thru its president, Hon Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "Certainly he has done nothing to further peace in his own country, and he was instrumental in creating unnatural situations abroad that already have been the cause of a number of hostile outbreaks, and because of which much blood will be shed in the future. "Had the Shorthing been familiar with the American political campaign of 1916 it is hardly probable that the prize would have gone to Mr. Wilson.

He intimated his belief, however, that whatever growth in commitments there will be to meet in the next two years can be met through extensions to the present hospitals." Col R. B. Marshall, either as an engineer of the United States geological survey, or because of his own desires has been gathering the Sierra Nevada information as to some of her resources, and has dreamed of a great system of canals in which flood waters of the Sacramento, after being stored in the mountains, shall be carried around the northern end of the valley and down its west side even to the middle of the San Joaquin Valley, and again another canal shall gather the waters of the Feather River and, as it passes down the foothills pick up the stored floods of the American, Calaveras, the Mokelumne, the Merced, the San Joaquin, the Kings and even scores of other rivers and carry them down the east side of the great central valley, even into Korn County, around the southern end of the valley and up to meet the great canal which comes down the West side. Again, the waters of the Kern shall be taken through the mountains through even thirty miles of tunnel, and poured over some rich valleys of Southern California. The cost is enormous, even to the hundreds of millions, some think possibly to a billion dollars, but even then the assertion is made; "California can do it." We recall that some years ago when the city of Los Angeles was only a third its present size and its people not possessed of great wealth, there were those who said "It can't be done" when that little city, with its inhabitants almost as one, decided to bring water of the country's highest mountain 250 miles. It will cost $40,000,000 which is a greater burden than the people can bear." They then raised the money; they brought the water to the city; the city has grown with great favor by Charles V and by a decree at Toro on September, 21, 1551, he ordered its foundation, giving for that purpose an annuity of $1000. By this time, however, Mondoza had left the government of Mexico to take charge of that Poru, so that his immediate successor, Luis de Velasco, carried out the orders of the King. Besides the donation of $1000 a year Charles V gave the new University all the privileges of Salamanca, with the exception of a few limitations which Philip II eliminated by a decree given at Madrid October, 17, 1562. In 1555the Holy See confirmed the foundation of the University, and the privileges granted to it by the Kings of Spain, ordering that it be always ruled by the statutes of Salamanca. The Pope, however, honored the University with the title of "Pontificia." NEW SAVING DEVICE Two entirely new United States government securities will be issued in 1921. They are a $1 treasury savings stamp and a $25 treasury savings certificate. The decision to issue these securities comes as a result of the campaign carried on by the treasury department during the present year in industrial plants throughout the country. This campaign has demonstrated that workers like a $1 unit for saving and that they also are seeking an investment security of the $25 denomination. The new $1 savings stamp will be bright red in color imprinted on green tint and will bear the head of Alexander Hamilton. This is the first time that the first secretary of the treasury has been fittingly honored by having his portrait on a government saving security. The new $25 savings certificate will be similar in design and terms to the treasury savings certificates of $100 and $1000 maturity value, although of different color. The 25-cent thrift stamp and the $5 savings stamp have obtained so strong a foothold in the schools of the nation that their issue will be continued in 1921, not only to encourage saving and wise investment, but also to give American youth the opportunity of becoming an active partner in the great business of his or her national government. This should go far to create habits of a financial strength and practical patriotism. refused to take the most elementary measures of preparation, fearful that if he did so it would lessen the potency of his hypocritical campaign watchword. As a result the nation was compelled to compress into a few weeks preparations that should have been progressing for months at a far less cost and a much higher production. Apparently recent American history did not furnish the inspiration for the Wilson award. "Even after the nation had finally entered the conflict Mr. Wilson persisted in keeping in office, men whose demonstrated incapacity put an enormous daily tax in lives and money upon the people. "Had it not been for the inability of the organization at home to supply properly our army in the field there is little doubt that the war would have ended sooner with an earlier conservation of men and wealth. Evidently Mr. Wilson was a more potent ally of the god of war than the bird of peace. "It is probable that Mr. Wilson's notes to Germany were responsible, more than any other cause, for the granting o fthe Armistice. The German armies were on the run, and a few days more would have brought their utter rout. Instead, the Wilson armistice permitted the German soldiers to stage a triumphal march thru the streets of Berlin, and encourage an arrogance that has been a thorn in the side of the allies ever since. Do the Norwegians think that Peace was furthered by such a policy? "A month after his armistice, Mr. Wilson proceeded to Paris and dominated the peace conference that framed the treaty. His arbitrary delineation of future European boundaries, quite regardless of the desires of the people, sowed seeds of discontent We recall that some years ago when the city of Los Angeles was only a third its present size and its people were those who said "It can't be done" when that little city, with its inhabitants almost as one, decided to bring the water of the country's highest mountain 250 miles. It will cost $40,000,000 which is a greater burden than the people can bear." They then raised the money; they brought the water to the city; the city has grown beyond the wildest dreams, it has grown until today engineers are making investigations and find that if the rate of growth is to be continued, in 40 or 45 years new water supplies must again be secured. Now has California faith in her own resources, her own capital and her own engineers? Col. Marshall's dream is not yet complete in all its details; it may be even wild in some particulars; but nothing is too big for California, and we believe the people are seriously asking as to the future possibilities of this state are wise in giving attention to these dreams and the association which has been formed to make them come true. A peculiar product of the vegetable world is what is known as the "black boy" tree which flourishes in the state of Western Australia. It is in fact a species of grass tree, and grows to a normal height of seven to ten feet and is found to be useful for a variety of purposes. It has been only lately discovered that cosmic dust forms layers at the bottom of the deepest seas. Be-tween Honolulu and Tahiti, at a depth of 3350 fathoms—over two miles and a half—a vast layer of this material exists. The 25-cent thrift stamp and the $5 savings stamp have obtained so strong a foothold in the schools of the nation that their issue will be continued in 1921, not only to encourage saving and wise investment, but also to give American youth the opportunity of becoming an active partner in the great business of his or her national government. This should go far to create habits of a financial strength and practical patriotism throughout the nation. The 1921 savings stamp of $5 maturity value will be larger in size than the 1920 issue, will be orange in color and will bear the portrait head of Lincoln. The treasury savings certificates of $100 and $1000 maturity value also will be continued in 1921. They are peculiarly adaptable for the investment of small trusts and surplus funds or surpluses, as they are not subject to market-price fluctuation, and are being extensively used for the investment of surplus funds of unions, fraternities and other organizations, subject to the limitation to holdings of $1000 maturity value of any one series. Plans are actively under way to make the influence of the treasury savings movement felt in every branch of American life. To this end the three functions of the savings organization, namely, the development and protection of the secondary market for all war issues of government securities; the sale of treasury savings securities; the making of permanent habits of regular savings and investment in United States government securities will be intensified.
