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 have heretofore spoken of the importance of county division, and urged that ways and means be taken to effect the desired end—desirable on account of convenience and economy. The county affairs as they have been managed for years, display nothing but an expensive monopoly, which is unjust to every man south of the San Gabriel. By our enormous taxes we foot the extravagant bills of officers that we have no voice in putting forward for election, as well as fat perquisits to a host of their extravagant relatives. County property is retained exclusively in the city of Los Angeles, (an item referred to is the county fire hose), and now our neighbors, fearing we are to obtain a division, have through their board of supervisors, issued $25,000 in county bonds for the building of a court house. More than one-half of this sum must now be footed by the people south of the San Gabriel; while if the county had been divided at the last session of the legislature, we would have been saved that expense, and with less than half the amount could have built a suitable court house at the new county seat, wherever it would have been located. The exhibition given by the pupils of the Anaheim public schools on Monday evening, under the supervision of J. M. Guinn, Esq., was the most complete entertainment and successful. Herman Stern has returned from Whittier, and his brother, Gus, has gone over to conduct the store lately acquired by the firm at that place. Herman is raising a prize dog, and during his absence it succeeded in getting loose, and wandered over into a duck corral, playfully dispatched some fifteen of the feathered songsters before tiring of his onslaught and permitting the few remaining birds a brief respite in their career. The Baron von Dudelspieleer was released from the Los Angeles jail at 10 o'clock last Wednesday night, after serving nine days and spending two in the praiseworthy occupation of scrubbing the jail floors. He furnished bonds in the sum of $50, his bondsmen being said to be Emperor Wilhelm and Fritz Ruhman. The Baron left Friday for San Francisco, but threatens to return to fight his suit in the superior court and play smash generally. County Surveyor H. Clay Kellogg was seen upon the streets of the city one afternoon last week, having ridden over on his bicycle. He is a new convert to the usefulness of the wheel, and is coming to be an expert, never takes a header, and gets over the ground quicker than geared lightning.

The pall checks chosen on receipt of amount that credit the exchange draw a check The exhibition given by the pupils of the Anaheim public schools on Monday evening, under the supervision of J. M. Guinn, Esq., was the most complete, entertaining and successful of any we have ever witnessed. As the program run through we noted the following: Song—"Memory's Tear," by the school, excellent and in good time, as indeed was all their singing during the evening. "Three Feet High," by Joe Calisher, in costum, was short but sweet. "The Clock, Broom and Bee," by Amy Hartman, Ann Fischer and Claudina Rimpau, was a little dialogue well learned and well recited. "How Not to Get An Answer," by Louisa Welder and Emily Fischer, was a witty dialogue and well recited. "The Turned Head," by Henry Kuchel, C. Luedke, Fritz Fischer and David Calisher, was an amusing farce which brought down the house. (At this point in the performance the Anaheim brass band discoursed some very excellent music). "The Bound Girl," by Emily Fischer, Minnie Calisher, Ethel Bremmerman and Louisa Werder, was produced with excellent stage talent. "The Battle of Waterloo," by Mariano Garfias, was recited with much ardor. "Dogmatism," by Charles Luedke, Eddie Schmidt and Addison Dyer, was a n amusing thing. "The Reply of Patrick Henry to Curry," by Manuel Garfias, was a fine effort at oratory. "Rainbow," was exceedingly well rendered by Mary Hartman, Francis Schmidt, Vicle Calisher, Fannie Higgins, Adelia Rust, Kate Bremmerman and Matilda Rimpau. Ben Stewart brought down the house with his 4th of July oration. "Playing School," was well rendered by Minnie Calisher, Emily Fischer, Emma Stone, Amy Hartman, Emma Thiele and Ella Billings. The closing act was "Our Cousins," by Henry Kuchel and John Hartung, with their usual display of versatility. Mr. Heyerman has been busily engaged in clearing and irrigating cactus land for the purpose of cultivating English walnuts and German orchard fruits, and has accomplished a great deal in that line. He has now five hundred trees of walnuts well started, and a large number of other fruit trees County Surveyor H. Clay Kellogg was seen upon the streets of the city one afternoon last week, having ridden over on his bicycle. He is a new convert to the usefulness of the wheel, and is coming to be an expert, never takes a header, and gets over the ground quicker than geared lightning. William Schwenckert rode up to Los Angeles a few days ago on his bicycle, making the round trip in one day, and having several hours to transact his business in the Angelic town. The members of the Turner singing society serenaded Herr Peter Weisel at his palatial residence on Walnut street last Saturday evening, and were received with the usual charming manner characteristic of that gentleman. It was late before they got away. But that is one of Mr. Weisel's bad habits. Whenever he gets a company of congenial spirits in his home he never consents to let them go. Guš Hanson was in town from his place on Orangenthorpe avenue yesterday afternoon and reports the beet crop looking not so well as last year. But his is enthusiastic in his hopes that we will have a sugar factory here before we get through with it. The thermometer on Monday broke all records by going to 109 degrees in the shade. It was probably the hottest weather in the history of the place,and the warmth continued until well along after nightfall. Mr. H.: W. Chynoweth, of this city, will be a candidate for assemblyman from the seventy-sixth assembly district, embracing the county of Orange, before the Republican county convention. The city trustees Tuesday evening decided to call a bond election for $18,000 for the improvement of the city water and electric light service. Supervisor Potter informs us that the board of supervisors have fixed upon the afternoon of Tuesday next, at half past 1 o'clock as the time for hearing the expression of views on the part of the horticulturists of the county relative to the adoption of a new county ordinance designed to take the place of ordinances 17 and 18, now regulating the matter of shining generally. Mr. Heyerman has been busily engaged in clearing and irrigating cactus land for the purpose of cultivating English walnuts and German orchard fruits, and has accomplished a great deal in that line. He has now five hundred trees of walnuts well started, and a large number of other fruit trees planted in his new lot, which bid fair to yield a large profit in time. For a general gathering of all classes and departments of life, the ball which took place Monday night was not only a grand success, but the scene of the breaking of much of the social ice with which Anaheim has lately been afflicted. The dancing commenced about 11 o'clock and continued with unabated harmony and pleasure until 3 o'clock Tuesday morning. Those who usually depart from balls at an early hour, stayed late, and those who usually stay late, stayed much later on this occasion. The young danced with all the ardor of youth and glowing imagination, and the aged renewed again the sports of their youth in the festivities of the fleeing hours. On Saturday evening last a discharged soldier from Arizona successfully robbed the till of the store of Mr. Spurgeon at Santa Ana of $82. He had been loafing around the store during the afternoon, and seeing Mr. Spurgeon step out for a moment, hastily robbed the drawer and deposited the coin in his shoe. He later was arrested by Mr. Spurgeon and Mr. English, who found the money in his shoe. Anaheim Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.50, Supervisor Potter informs us that the board of supervisors have fixed upon the afternoon of Tuesday next, at half past 1 o'clock as the time for hearing the expression of views on the part of the horticulturists of the county relative to the adoption of a new county ordinance designed to take the place of ordinances 17 and 18, now regulating the matter of shipment of trees into the county, and which have been found to be inoperative. It is the purpose of the board to frame a new ordinance, doing away with the objectionable features of these ordinances, and the supervisors desire the expression of such opinion on the part of the horticulturists, nursery men and others as may bear upon the subject. An invitation to all interested is extended to be present, and to favor the board with the benefit of their views. The Turners have potsers out for field day exercises to be held at Littlefield's grove on Sycamore street, on Sunday, June 7th, when athletes from Los Angeles and San Diego will vie with Turners from this city in running, high jumping, running broad jumping, hop,step and jump, putting the shot, climbing hand over hand, and other athletic exercises. This will be the first of the three Turner days to be held in southern California to select the best athletes to participate in the Turner Band at St. Louis next year. Refreshments and lunch will be served on the ground, good music will be in attendance and there will be a social hop during the afternoon. A rumor is extant that a skating rink is soon to open up in the new Anaheim hall. NEW BANK PLAN TO ASSIST CITRUS MEN New banking arrangements between the California Fruit Growers' exchange and Los Angeles banks will save citrus fruit growers of southern California thousands of dollars annually, according to advice received from Los Angeles today. The new plan greatly simplifies the method of handling collections and drafts given the exchange and offers a practical solution of the old problem of advancing funds on uncollected items. The arrangement means that the fruit grower will be given the benefit of a return on fruit shipments five days earlier than has been the case neretofore. The new plan was suggested by W. J. Dolan, vice-president of the Citizens National bank, Los Angeles, and the details were largely worked out by him. In addition to the benefit which the fruit grower will receive it does away with the necessity for country banks to advance funds without remuneration on uncollected checks and enables them to keep with their city correspondent banks an actual balance which heretofore has consisted wholly of uncollected items upon which the city bank could not and did not pay any interest. Under this arrangement the various agencies of the California Fruit Growers' exchange throughout the United States and Canada will include in their telegraphic reports of money received in payment for shipments from southern California the amount they have deposited to the credit of the exchange. The practice formerly was to mail checks covering the amount. Upon receipt of advice of the actual amount that has been placed to its credit the exchange will immediately draw a check for collection with the Citizens National bank. Despite the fact that prices were considerably lower this season than last, southern California growers of walnuts have made a reasonable profit, Thorpe stated, and the demand throughout the country has been excellent. Acreage of walnut groves is rapidly increasing, there being 61,000 acres out of a total of $5,000 which are bearing. California's output of walnuts is being doubled every three or four years, it is said. The total production this year was 40,000,000 pounds. While wholesale and retail prices of various foodstuffs have fluctuated greatly in the last few months, it is pointed out that California's walnut crop was marketed at exactly the same price as announced last fall by the growers' association. It is claimed this is due to the fact that growers were willing to accept a reasonable margin of profit from the outset. "Since Oct. 8 we have returned to southern California walnut growers the largest crop return ever received with but one exception," said Manager Thorpe. "This showing is particularly gratifying to our 4000 growers, who realize that all conditions affecting the marketing of food products during the last six months have been most unfavorable." "This situation was made possible through the wisdom of our growers in being satisfied with a reasonable price and aggressive sales campaign. "Now that every pound of last season's crop is disposed of, we are studying next October's crop. A few weeks ago it looked as if California would outdo itself by producing a 70,000,000-pound walnut crop, but the April frosts hit the growers of several sections, completely wiping out the crop in a few orchards and damaging others in very extent. However, as some of the most important walnut crops received by producers of the United States for hogs during April fell below $8 per 100 pounds for the first time since March, 1916, according to a report by the bureau of crop estimates, United States department of agriculture. The average price for April reached the low..."

The practice formerly was to mail checks covering the amount. Upon receipt of advice of the actual amount that has been placed to its credit the exchange will immediately draw a check for collection with the Citizens' National bank or with its other correspondent, the First National bank of Los Angeles. This check is at once put into the hands of the federal reserve bank and after the number of days prescribed by the federal reserve bank as sufficient to have an item presented and collected has elapsed the draft goes automatically to the credit of the fruit exchange on the books of its banks here. The exchange then sends a check to its agency at the point of origin of the fruit, and it is deposited in the local bank, which can give immediate credit, for the reason that the check is a Los Angeles item and thus becomes available as cash and reserve at once. When the fact that this scheme will save an average of five days' interest on the total amount of money received for citrus products in this part of the state, running into the millions of dollars each year, is taken into consideration, the value of the plan will become apparent. Southern California has established a trade record not equaled by any other part of the nation for two years, according to C. Thorpe, manager of the California Walnut Growers' association, who reports that this season's crop has been totally disposed of and $10,000,000 received by walnut growers. This is the first time in the last two years, according to Thorpe, that the crop of any non-perishable product of the soil has been entirely sold. Now that every pound of last season's crop is disposed of, we are studying next October's crop. A few weeks ago it looked as if California would outdo itself by producing a 70,000,000-pound walnut crop, but the April frosts hit the growers of several sections, completely wiping out the crop in a few orchards and damaging others in vary extent. However, as some of the most important walnut producing sections, principally Orange and Santa Barbara counties, escaped with little damage, the state's crop will not be curtailed to as serious an extent as has been predicted." Sales Manager W. T. Weber, of the California Walnut Growers' association predicts that the 1921 crop will be as thoroughly absorbed as was the 1920. He declares that California brand walnuts are commanding higher prices than any of the imported walnuts. "As long as our growers are satisfied to continue selling at fair prices I feel certain that over-production will not become the bugbear to the walnut industry that it has to so many others."

COMPARE HIGH AND LOW PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS The average price received by producers of the United States for hogs during April fell below $8 per 100 pounds for the first time since March, 1916, according to a report by the bureau of crop estimates, United States department of agriculture. The average price for April reached the low mark of $7.86. The highest price reached at any time was during August, 1919, when the average was $19.30 per 100 pounds. Prices advanced more or less steadily from 1916 to 1919, then took a rather rapid drop during latter part of 1919. During 1920 the average price for each month was between $13 and $14 until December, when it dropped to about $11. The price which producers received for cotton seed reached the lowest mark in April since November, 1914 when it was $14.01 per ton. The average price for last April was $17.23 per ton, as compared to the peak price of $72.65 in November, 1919. The low price in 1914 was tee result of the big crop produced that year, which amounted to 15,873,002 bales. The price of wool in April was below 18 cents, which is the lowest since May, 1912. In March and April, 1918, the average price of wool was 60 cents a pound. NOTICE.
