IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK We call the attention of our people and to those living abroad, to the excellent advantages of the village of Santa Ana as a residence. It is one of the few live and rising towns of this county, that manifestly has an important future before it. The principal citizens there, who have the growth and prosperity of the county at heart, are determined to offer every reasonable inducement to settlers and business men. Lots are now selling at from $20 to $40 and others will be given away where improvements are made. Already fifty houses have been erected in the town. On Tuesday, last Mr. Amos Henry, who lives two miles west of town, went out to shoot wild geese, and losing the ramrod of his gun, used the stem of a weed instead. The weed however, being too short, did not force the wad down on top of the shot, and when he fired, the gun burst and fore off the muscles and part of the bone of the thumb on his left hand, at the same time filling the wrist with shot. Dr. Taylor was called to dress the wound. Messrs. Mitchell & Gibson announce that they will run a stage line to Wilmington on steamer days. Hip! however, being too short, did not force the wad down on top of the shot, and when he fired, the gun burst and fore off the muscles and part of the bone of the thumb on his left hand, at the same time filling the wrist with shot. Dr. Taylor was called to dress the wound. Messrs. Mitchell & Gibson announce that they will run a stage line to Wilmington on steamer days. Hip! Hip! Two eighty acre lots in Section 9, adjacent to the city extension on the west, and owned by Mr. Cowan will probably be subdivided into ten-acre lots during the coming spring. Mr. Cowan was lately here and indicated that as his intention, when he removed his family hither, in next May. On Thursday last, Mr. Ed Polhemus and Mr. Hunter started overland, on a trip to San Thomas, Lower California, intending to be absent for about three weeks. In about a week Wm. McLaughlin, of Capistrano, and B. G. Perkins of Santa Ana, with their families, are going on a short trip to the same place. There appears to be considerable attraction toward the Peninsular and whether the cause is gold or diamonds, we are as yet unable to determine. Mr. Ben Drefus, of Langenberger & Co., is expected down on the Orizaba next week. He will probably remain a month in Anaheim. The enterprising citizens of Santa Ana are taking measures to have a first class hotel, erected at that place. The old broken bottles, mustard cans tin shavings, pot hooks and hoop iron with which the streets of Anaheim are paved, is a positive nuisance as well as dangerous to the feet of the horses. Why can we not have clean streets? Where is the chain gang? From the passage of several droves of horses and cattle through the streets of Anaheim during the past week, we judge that the stock range nuisance is abating. Mr. Boldt, Mr. Luedke and W. G. Hubbard and family, returned from San Francisco to Anaheim on Wednesday last, per steamer, California. Glad to see their genial faces once Ground is being broken for Stephen Kistler's new building which he will erect on his lot on Center street, opposite the city hall. The building will be of modern design and a decided improvement to the city. Max Nebelung has sold ten acres of land in the best section, the property of his sister-in-law, to Jake Everharty. The annual meeting of the Anaheim co-operative beet sugar company will be held at Kroeger's hall next Monday and it is expected steps will be taken to disincorporate. The board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company met on Saturday afternoon and elected the following officers: President, W. F. Botsford; Vice president, Wm. Crowther; Secretary, W. H. Bleumerhassett Treaunrer, L. Goldwater, Attorney Richard Melrose. In a note from A. H. Cargill, secret of the Southern California Fruit Exchange we learn that the shipment of oranges to Feby, 1st were 1961 cars of which the exchange forwarded 663. The farmers below Santa Ana are now at war with the proprietor of the San Joaquin ranch, which covers some 109,000 acres, about 40,000 acres of which are rented out to farmers, who raise corn, barley and beans. And this year the owner of the big ranch, James Irvine of San Francisco, it is said, waited until the ranchers had all begun to put in their crops, when he presented a new form of lease for them to sign, which they claim would divest them of their rights or at least many of them. This so incensed the tillers of the soil that they have formed an association for mutual benefit and protection, and now they refuse absolutely to sign the new form of lease or to vacate the land they have already begun to farm. Dan Dewyre, who is stopping with Col. Callahan, and who has handled race horses for a good many years, intends to purchase a couple of ostrichs and train the birds to drive in a sulky. Aluminum will be used in the makeup of the rig and hardness, to obviate the use of any weigh-and Richard Melrose. The directors subsequently elected the following officers: Theodore Rimpau, president; A. L. Lewis, vice-president; J. Helmsen, treasurer; Richard Melrose, secretary.

Mr. Boldt, Mr. Luedke and W. G. Hubbard and family, returned from San Francisco to Anaheim on Wednesday last, per steamer, California. Glad to see their genial faces once more. Mr. W. A. Vale, who owns the new Anaheim Photograph Gallery, is to be in Anaheim on or about the 15th of this month after which he will commence business and remain here permanently. Some of the farmers south of Santa Ana, are setting out vines. The contract for one hundred thousand feet of lumber to floor the fifteen mile Canal of Chapman & Co., has been awarded to Dicken Huntington & Co., of Anaheim Landing. The time for planting semi-tropical trees is generally considered to be the month of February, and the demand for that class is evidently in excess of the supply, during the month. This year, however, Mr. T. E. Schmidt of Poplar Row, one of the most practical and scientific horticulturists in this county, is prepared to fully supply those beginning to plant. Trees are from one to three years old. The old and reliable firm of Langenberger, Blochman & Co., at Anaheim Landing are doing a thriving business now in the lumber trade. They have on hand and are about $40,000 of assorted redwood and Oregon pine. Dan Dewyre, who is stopping with Col. Callahan, and who has handled race horses for a good many years, intends to purchase a couple of ostrichs and train the birds to drive in a sulky. Aluminum will be used in the makeup of the rig and harness, to obviate the use of any weighy materials, and the gentleman is of the opinion that he will succeed in his novel undertaking. The ostrich is possessed of wonderful speed and endurance and were the birds to be domesticated and driven in harness, the novelty would be a sight to behold. The Ladies Euchre Club met at the residence of Mrs. A. Lewis last Friday-evening, and to make it interesting the gentlemen were invited to be present and participate in the fascinating game. Eight tables were occupied and the contests were very spirited Mrs. Derge and Mrs. Cahen won the first ladies' prizes and Mr. Fay and Gib Landell were the lucky gentlemen players, each receiving appropriate prizes, and the bookys fell to Mrs. Des Granges and Mrs. Everharty. At the conclusion of the games dainty refreshments were served. Mrs. Lewis was assisted by Miss Mossman and Miss Cora Lewis, and the ladies were voted as the best of entertainers. I. V. Albertson, well and favorably known in the entire community, having lived here for a number of years, was examined before the lunacy commission at Santa Ana last Saturday and being adjudged insane was committed to Highlands. He was taken to the asylum by Deputy Ulen and A. D. Porter of this city. BOOST SCENIC DRIVE TO SADDLEBACK'S TOP Associated Chambers Also Favors County Association to Boost Harbor Orfanization of a county association to provide a working body for continued effort in the development of Orange county's harbor at Newport Beach and building a road to the top of Saddleback mountain were suggested at the January meeting of the Associated Chambers at St. Ann's Inn as constructive movement upon which, the organization might centralize efforts during the coming year. Both suggestion were made by Lynn L. Shaw, chairman of the harbor commission, and ardent booster for a scenic drive of the top of the mountain. Shaw, County Engineer J. L. McBride and D. Eyman Huff were named as a committee to investigate the possibilities of a road up the mountain and to report back to the county body J. P. Baumgartner offered the motion that resulted in authorizing Dr. Lester Keller, president, to appoint the committee. Shaw suggested the formation of a harbor association following a brief report of work on the harbor. He declared that when the harbor commission shall have completed the work for which it was appointed, it will turn over to the people of Santa Ana a harbor completed and capable of accommodating vessels of the type of the Harvard and the Yale, passenger ships that were in service between San Pedro and San Francisco before the war. "When the work provided for under the $500,000 county bond issue is completed, the commission will have com- ange county, H. A. Lake of Garden Grove, said that the attorneys are working on an appeal. He declared that now "that Chester Rowell is a member of the railroad commission the people have taken heart and feel that there is no possibility of the interests of the people being looked after." He referred to the proposal to increase the tax rate of corporations and suggested that a speaker conversant with the facts be secured for the next meeting of the Chambers. The Committee on advertising and education was instructed to secure a speaker if possible. Lake said he would like to know why it is that the administration of California cost two of three times what it does in other states. The address was given by J. P. Baumgartner and the response was by A. B. Camp of Anaheim. An even one hundred men were served with a turkey dinner by the management of St. Ann's Inn. Many compliments were heard on the beauty of the hotel and in response to the address of welcome, Camp took occasion to pay his compliments to the enterprise of the group of Santa Ana men who provided the city with the new hostelry. The February meeting will be held at Anaheim the last week in the month. HAIR Hair is the factory equipment of the genesis homo, and is to serve as bonnet or hat. It is fastened at one end. The male men wear it cut short and the feminine kind of women wear it long. Men of the high-brow type who feel the need of scenery to advertise the test of hardihood. There are pretty little males, otherwise fully grown, who have no hair on their faces, but these usually marvigorous and generously proportioned ladies who have mustaches of their own, and this arrangement maintains the family average—Robert Quillen in Saturday Evening Post. LINCOLN'S IRON WEDGE The Smithsonian Institution in Washington recently has obtained one of the most interesting of Lincoln relics. It is the iron wedge that was used by Lincoln away back in the rail splitting days of his career. For more than fifty years possessed privately after having been found by one Fielden G. Davis, the rail-splitting implement now reposes among the vast array of relics controlled by the Smithsonian Institution, there to give thrills to the visitors to Washington who revore the memory of Lincoln and go exploring in the famous institution and museum. A lot of present-day folk who paw the air in their expressions of paternistic notions and their demands for the government to regulate everything for them from babyhood to grandmotherhood, including the rearing of babies, daily amusement, supply of food and jobs, and practically almost everything else, ought to take a trip to Washington for the sole purpose of getting a good look at that little iron wedge of Lincoln's. It might dawn upon them that the greatest American got out and hustled at the hardest kind of daily labor, asking no governmental petting or favors. The idea might even soak into their fault-finding minds that what the United States needs is more work and less fancy reforming. The February meeting will be held at Anaheim the last week in the month. HAIR Hair is the factory equipment of the genus homo, and is to serve as bonnet or hat. It is fastened at one end. The male men wear it cut short and the feminine kind of women wear it long. Men of the high-brow type who feel the need of scenery to advertise the possession of brains wear it long enough to oil the coat collar. This style is frequently affected by reformers, verse makers, artists and peddlers of patent medicines, and is accepted as proof that the weaver is entitled to a prefix of Hon. or Prof. Estimable ladies who have never forgiven Nature for wishing the feminine sex on them wear their hair long. Hair comes in a variety of colors. If it is too dark to be called brown, it is called black. Other standard colors are red, auburn, and golden. Red varies from the shade of an anaemic brick to the flaming scarlet affected by the outraged gobbler. As a rule it indicates a nimble wit and the advisability of avoiding personal encounter with the weaver. The word "auburn" is used to designate a dark shade of red or a desire to show courtesy to one who possesses red hair and does not appreciate it. Golden hair is found in storybooks, musical comedy, choruses and corner drug stores. As male persons advance in years, the hair occupying their highest altitude falls by the wayside, leaving a drear expanse of shining surface closely resembling the cue ball. This condition is technically known as baldness. The first appearance of this phenomenon causes deep deprenure psoriasis and a peculiar mental condition that manifests itself as faith in the cheerful promises of bald-headed barbors. The victim massages and annoys his scalp in a frantic effort to conjure back his departed glory, but his efforts are futile. Departed hair is beyond the reach of anything less pulsant than a ouija board. If he is a philosopher he will resign himself to fate and refuse to be irritated by the cautious sarcasm of barbers. If he is not a philosopher he will encourage the hair rooted above his ears and drupe it carefully over the dome, or buy a toupee. The toupee should not be confused with the closed car known as a coupe. It is not a vehicle, though in lands addicted to Bolshevism and of food and jobs, and practically almost everything else, ought to take a trip to Washington for the sole purpose of getting a good look at that little iron wedge of Lincoln's. It might dawn upon them that the greatest American got out and hustled at the hardest kind of daily labor, asking no governmental petting or favors. The idea might even soak into their fault-finding minds that what the United States needs is more work and less fancy reforming. Users of iron wedges, big wooden mauls and axes, have never suffered from dyspepsia, obesity, lung trouble, insomnia nor a tendency to keep butting into other peoples affairs. They are too busy to bother with that sort of thing. Possibly much of this unrest talk of today could be overcome if iron wedges of the Lincoln type were again to become the prevailing style. It was through the instrumentality of Congressman John A Elston of California that the Smithsonian Institution came into possession of the relic. That a party of 20 prominent Florida orange growers will make the trip to California to see the Eleventh National Orange Show, to be held in San Bernardino February 18 to 28, inclusive, was the announcement contained in a letter received today from J.C. Weston, St. Augustine, Florida, capitalist and citrus fruit grower.The Florida party will be made up of men who are devoting a great deal of time and money to the upholding of the citrus industry in that state and while here will investigate the latest scientific horticultural methods practiced by California growers. They have determined to be in California during the time of the Orange show because they believe the San Bernardino exposition offers them the best opportunity to meet the "best minds" of the California industry. The visitors will probably attend the California Citrus Institute, to be held during the period of the show.

Upon retiring as president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce recently Huff recommended that effort be made to build such a road. J. C. Metzgar approved the suggestion, stating that the lights of at least forty-two Southern cities could be seen from the peak at night. H. A. Lake of Garden Grove, who was a member of a committee appointed at one time to look into the project, reported that investigation disclosed that construction of the road would be very expensive. A report submitted by Huff, who is chairman of the good roads committee disclosed that Orange county has under construction, under contract or recently completed paving and road improvement work aggregating $488,545. The committee recommended greater rapidity in repair of county paved roads; that proper steps be taken to eliminate the damage done by tractors on the highways; that serious consideration be given to underground crossing of the Santa Fe tracks at Northam; commended the district attorney's office for stringent enforcement of highway traffic regulations, and recommended that an ordinance be passed compelling trucks and other slow moving vehicles to maintain a distance between each other not less than 150 feet. Secretary Metzgar was directed to send a copy of the report to the board of supervisors and to the State Highway Commission. Under the head of reports of new industries in the county, T. B. Talbert referred to the oil developments at Huntington Beach and Lew Wallace announced the opening of the fish cannery at Newport Beach.

If he is not a philosopher he will encourage the hair rooted above his ears and drape it carefully over the dome, or buy a toupee. The toupee should not be confused with the closed car known as a coupe. It is not a vehicle, though in lands added to Bolshovism and similar weird doctrine it is frequently a little buggy. The gentler sex is not subject to baldness. This exemption may be due to the fact and practice of going bareheaded, or it may be the result of Nature's provision for an earlier day which women's hair needed to be deep rooted and strong in order to provide a suitable handle when her savage spouse desired to mop the floor with her. When one of the gentler sex discovers that her hair is combing out in alarming quantities she does not despair. She can save the combings and have them fashioned into an auxiliary braid, or if she has no acquainance with thrift she can buy a switch that has been previously been combed from the heads or beards of a party unknown. In either case, when she answers reville and dismisses the morning assembly no mere man will suspect that the greater part of her collure spent the night on the This exemption from baldness is not the only particular in which hair shows a disposition to favor the gentler sex. As a male person learns to maneuver his hands and feet and control his Adam's apple in the presence of ladies, there appears on his lip and chin a fuzz that later, by reason of opposition and adversity, assumes the nature of bristles. These bristles must be pruned daily if one would hold his job and avoid the police court, and the test of pruning is an excellent J.C.Osher, D.D.S., M.D. PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON EYE, EAR, NOSE AND THROAT—ORAL SURGERY—GLASSES RITTED SUITE 1 CENTRAL BLDG.
