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 The wholesale removal of all sheep from off the lands of the Land Company is being inaugurated. By the time the next shearing season comes the large herds of well watched sheep that have heretofore been so profitable a product and of no damage to agriculturists, will have been removed to distant and remote places. The hundreds of bales of wool for which so many hundreds of $20 gold pieces have found their way to our sheep men and finally to Anaheim merchants, have been drained into other channels, and we will be gorely hurt. So far as we can learn the sheep owners are not permitted to rent lands for their sheep, even though they pledge themselves to vacate in case of sales of the land. This is manifestly another item in the crawfish progress of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company. The friends of Mr. George H. Horn have called upon and requested us to announce him as a candidate for City Marshal of Anaheim. We make the announcement cheerfully and in common with many of our citizens, believe him to be the proper candidate. The Anaheim Water Company is about taking measures to allow persons owning large tracts to purchase water rights for a portion of the same, with certain provisions. Heretofore an owner of 80 acres of land could not 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK The engineer at the electrical power house reports that 579 electric lights are now in use and when we consider that the capacity of the works is based upon a 500 light machine we can at once get to a realization of the fact that the works are now running beyond their capacity. It is estimated that a 500 light machine will stand 600 lights when absolutely necessary, but the number already in use, while approaching closely this outside limit, is just about as far as the city authorities feel they can go at the present time. As applications for some 200 lights and upwards have already been made, there is nothing to do but to vote an increase in the power of our lighting plant. Count Bozenta was in town on Friday visiting with friends, and was the guest of Mr. Dickel. It has been impossible for Madame Modjeska to come to Anaheim as she thought of doing, her health being in such precarious state as to render that for the present out of the question. Tuesday morning the madame passed through on the Santa Fe South bound train en route to El Toro whence she was driven to her mountain home at Arden, in the Santiago canyon. She was accompanied by Count Bozenta and Dr. Bullard, at whose residence she had remained since coming from the East. She was met at the depot by Mrs. Langenberger and her daughter, Miss Mabel, who came to console her in her sufferings. KNOCK THE PROCESS Addressing at Madison Square last week, Martin "In our efforts blood, whatever we must not tant dueling grists who come legendary grudges." There is a clearation. It is not of some, nationalities in this be of foreign ancestry. It goes for English, Italian Poles, Russian of every other nation. The American special attachments any European nations as against seeks to sacrifice interests of his nations, who country should the gaff by any nations, lacks patriot. We owe no thing. Many both in money their power duty to sacrifice half of other points the interests of is an unpatriotic. It was Washington special friend nation, particularly other was concernism. He unshake England when country demands... The Anaheim Water Company is about taking measures to allow persons owning large tracts to purchase water rights for a portion of the same, with certain provisions. Hereofore an owner of 80 acres of land could not purchase a water right for forty acres of his land. The Anaheim brass band is making fine progress, and will soon make a public appearance. Among its members are Chas. F. Lehman, Albert Johnson, N. H. Mitchell, Charles Greely and E. A. Pullen. We are informed that there is an exceedingly good prospect that the railroad from here to the Landing will be built. It is said that the wherewith is really forthcoming. Complaint is made that worthless curs are not being taxed in our city, while bloodied country pups visiting town have to wear their pass tags. If this is the case our city dog law is an aristocratic swindle. The increasing demand for the lands of the Stearn's ranches, of which Anaheim is the business center, and the constant inquiry here by strangers about locations and prices, makes it necessary that an active, intelligent, and energetic local land agent should be appointed. Every day we see men tramping over the ranches trying to find corners and locations and the difficulty of doing so without aid—the want of knowledge of prices, and frequently the high prices reported causes them either to wander by the Chapman tract and south, or to return to Los Angeles and seek other localities. An agent located at Los Angeles is of little or no use in the sales of these lands. People who desire to purchase are generally attracted by the name and fame of Anaheim, and to this place they come; and after coming, if pleased with our city, they seek land in its vicinity. Again we say, the want of a proper agent here in Anaheim, and the sweeping high price at which every section of land is held, is working positive harm to our vicinity and to the pockets of the land owners themselves. Give us an agent who will keep sober the present out of the question. Tuesday morning the madame passed through on the Santa Fe South bound train en route to El Toro whence she was driven to her mountain home at Arden, in the Santiago canyon. She was accompanied by Count Bozenta and Dr. Bullard, at whose residence she had remained since coming from the East. She was met at the depot by Mrs. Langenberger and her daughter, Miss Mabel, who came to console her in her sufferings. John Hart, the well known Los Angeles capitalist, was in town yesterday afternoon on a short business visit, and called in and paid us four years subscription. John has abandoned the piano business and is now selling tea. Call again, John. George Bixby of the Rancho Los Cerritos passed through town on Saturday morning with his pack of fifteen well trained hounds, en route to Wilmington where he went to join a party of Los Angeles friends with their hounds for the coyote drive. The Placentia literary society met at the school house last Friday evening and decided the debate "Resolved that the Pen is Mightier than the Sword," in the negative and quite justly so. Mr. McFaden and Principal Krick of the Public School argued from the affirmative point of view, and Thomas Strain and Mr. Montgomery supported the negative. The judges decided unanimously that the sword—the arbitrament of warfare—was the mightier of the two. They were eminently correct: The orchestra composed of Ed Crowther, William Crowther, John Pfeninger and Miss Bertha Selinger, rendered a number of selections and were tendered a vote of thanks for their favor. At the next meeting the debate will be "Resolved that good education is preferable to riches." But give us the riches every time. It was learned yesterday that Inspector Flint has been approached by those favoring the change in location, and on his visit here Saturday he gave petitions to both sides, for and against moving. There are now out and are being presented to the citizens for signatures. Mr. Flint will be in town again next Saturday when, it is said, the matter will be settled concerning the removal of the post office, so far as his recommendation to the department at Washington is concerned. the sales of these lands. People who desire to purchase are generally attracted by the name and fame of Anaheim, and to this place they come; and after coming, if pleased with our city, they seek land in its vicinity. Again we say, the want of a proper agent here in Anaheim, and the sweeping high price at which every section of land is held, is working positive harm to our vicinity and to the pockets of the land owners themselves. Give us an agent who will keep sober, who will rustle, who is willing to leave a carpeted room and seek lands with customers—who will sell alternate sections at moderate prices, and this entire population will aid him in effecting sales. There are only three palm trees in this county. That at San Juan Capistrano is the oldest. It is said to have been planted in 1780 by Father Junipero. We understand that Don Mateo Keller has sent to Demorara for plantings of ginger, bananas, alligator pear, guava trees, pineapple, bread fruit, and arrow root. The ladies of Anaheim are making arrangements to hold a fair and festival in aid of the Presbyterian church. Charles A. Gardner, Esq., attorney-at-law leaves Anaheim tomorrow for Portland Oregon, where he has formed a most desirable law partnership and where he proposes to make his future home. Mr. Gardner is one of our most active and useful citizens and his many friends regret that circumstances are calling him so suddenly to new fields of labor. A telegram was received by John Smythe from his brother, Fred at half past 9 o'clock on Sunday morning, the significance of which made John's hair curl. "Haley skipped for parts unknown." The fellow referred to was one John Haley, who arrived in town two weeks ago, with stories of fabulously rich mines situated somewhere in Mexico, which he had recently discovered, and for the development of which his means were unfortunately not sufficiently large. He brought with him samples of silver ore which he said he assayed $5000 per ton, and he had twelve tons of the ore on the dump. He spent several days in town in the attempt to interest capital in the enterprise, representing that it was necessary to collect $500 to locate the mine, according to the Mexican laws, before extensive operations could be made upon it. He succeeded, in raising $375 on Thursday last, in company of Fred Smythe, he set out for the mine. Much speculation has existed as to the outcome of the investment, as well as to the legitimacy of the undertaking. Sunday's telegram divests the transaction of much of its romance. KNOCK THE PROP OUT OF PROPAGANDA Addressing a patriotic mass meeting at Madison Square Garden, New York last week, Martin W. Littleton said: "In our efforts to be loyal to our own blood, whatever that blood may be, we must not make America a distant dueling ground for foreign feudists who come here to settle the legendary grudges of the old world." There is a thoroughly patriotic declaration. It applies to the patrians not of some, but of all European nationalities in this country, whether they be of foreign or of domestic birth ancestry. It goes for Germans, French, Irish, English, Italians, Austrians, Greeks, Poles, Russian and American residents of every other nationality. Propoganda for one nationality or group of nationalities should not be cloaked in opposition to the propaganda of other nationalities. The American who seeks to foster special attachment to or hatred for any European nation or group of nations as against his own country, who seeks to sacrifice the rights and interests of his own country in other nations, who insists that his own country should continually be given the gaff by and on behalf of other nations, lacks a good deal of being a patriot. We owe no nation but America anything. Many nations are our debtors, both in money and service, beyond their power to repay. That it is our duty to sacrifice this republic in behalf of other powers, without regard to the interests of the American people, is an unpatriotic doctrine. It was Washington who declared that special friendship for one European nation, particularly antagonism for another was contrary to true Americanism. He unsheathed his sword against England when the interests of his country demanded it. He was ready to unsheath his sword against our recent ally, France, a few years later when that nation infringed upon American rights. There are people and groups of people in this country who denounce certain varieties of alien propaganda and actively carry on other kinds themselves. Americans should be loyal to one flag only, and that the flag of their country; a flag that has never been lifted in the cause of injustice at home or abroad. We need mass meetings all over this country in behalf of the Washington doctrine of single allegiance, and at such meetings every sort of "pro" nationalism except pro-Americanism should be denounced. It is not enough for a good American to hate some particular European nation, and be the partisan of some other, to demonstrate his freedom from the influence of alienism. He must cease being the partisan of any brand of Europeanism, and be just a plain unhyphenated American. He must cease the advocacy of entangling his country in the feuds and broils of Europe. We have our European hyphenates in this country, and we have what is even more undesirable, our European provincials of American ancestry who cannot think of this country except as a European colony. They ought to be prohibited from making this country "a distant dueling ground for foreign feudists who come here to settle the legendary grudges of the old world." If they want to fight, let them go where fighting is, and not try to drag their country in with them. It is not pro-Germanism only that we need to fear. It is pro-Europeanism of all kinds. Let those who remain in America think in terms of Americanism. We have job enough to straighten things out and keep them straight in the U.S.A. We have not made such a daunting success of the solving of our domestic problems in the past few years that we need dedicate ourselves to the task of settling Europe's problems. Yet the very people who have wrecked things here seem to think that they have a sort of divine call to rebuild Europe. Every nation must settle its own problems by coming down to the ground, dropping the war psychology and getting to work and to production of something besides political and economic schemes whereby they can keep on loafing and talking interminably at the expense of somebody else, preferably in most cases, Uncle Sam. We can't save the world for democracy by building up new autocracies and militarisms in place of those we destroyed. And while this country asked nothing as the result of the war, and got just what it asked for, we should stop by general protest the months of those who think we should continue for all time to come to be the general all round goat of the universe, and feed, finance, and fight the world perpetually just because we saved civilization once. If these more or less benevolent internationalists want to bankrupt and cripple themselves in order to serve the ends of alliens, just let them do it. But let them cease insisting that their own republic should underwrite other nation's gains, perpetuate other nations' power and let things go to the dogs at home while chasing other people's rainbows in Mesopotamia, Macedonia, Bessarabia, and Beloochistan. Emma Goldman praised Soviet Russia until she was sent there to live and then she wanted to get back to the United States. Mr. Samuel Gompers, who praises Mexico as being "a government of the people, for and by the working people," might do well to remember Mrs. Goldman's experience Electrified Dollars Yield Good Dividends The Future Growth and Prosperity of Southern and Central California depend on an unlimited supply of electric power.
