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 Mr. A. Langenberger, after an absence of a year in Europe, arrived home at Anaheim on Tuesday last, bringing with him his three young daughters who have been absent at school in Germany for over three years. He notices with satisfaction the improvements which have taken place here during the brief period of his absence—the new buildings, the new institutions, and even the growth of the trees and shrubbery. From his personal observations he draws a most favorable contrast between our and the foreign climates, and regards the conditions of our location, oil, seabreeze, and latitude as the most fortunate combination upon the earth. After his arrival he was called upon and greeted with a cordial welcome by his friends, and also surprised by a serenade in the evening from the Anaheim brass band. About 4 o'clock on Sunday morning last a Mexican named Tomas Veelardes, well known in this vicinity, was shot through the body from the effects of which he died in about twenty hours. The murderer, Francisco Ruiz, immediately mounted a horse and fled, and has not since been heard of, although diligent search has been made. An inquest was held after the death of the deceased, the particulars of which we have not space to publish. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK The board of directors of the Cooperative Beet Sugar company met in executive session at their office on Tuesday afternoon, and decided to call a meeting of the stockholders of the company on July 18, for the purpose of voting on a proposition to disincorporate the company. Messrs. W. M. McFadden, Ernest Browning and Max Nebelung, the law committee of the water company, go to Orange this morning in company with Attorney Melrose to confer with a similar committee of irrigators on the other side of the river, about the preparation of papers to restrain the illegal diversion of water up the river.

Mr. John Hanna will start his mammoth threshing machine on Monday, with John Gwinn as head feeder. Mr. Phil Davis has let the contract for the erection of a new two-story residence on the site of the one lately burned, to Mr. George Williams, of Los Angeles. Work has been commenced on the foundation. It is to be a much finer building than the former one. There is a strong suspicion that cattle stealing has been indulged in throughout this neighborhood for some time past. In this vicinity hay is rated at from $9 to $12 per ton, according to the amount on hand and to spare by producers. Col. Strong has sent to this office a specimen bunch of his growing cotton. The plants are about ten inches in height and have a very thrifty appearance. The county and legislative slate is about made up for the campaign, and any one with ordinary sagacity can already conclude who are the favorite candidates. It is equally sure that, in the main, the Democratic ticket will generally win, as their last majority in the county was 890 votes. The Ventura Signal is confident that the day is not far distant when we shall have a coast railroad from Puget Sound to the gulf of California, passing closely along the verge of the ocean.

The people of Fullerton are preparing to have a grand celebration on the Glorious Fourth, and a postal card from Editor Johnson, of the Tribune, brings the intelligence that an invitation thereto is extended to the people of this city. Inasmuch as there will probably be no celebration here, what say you if we go over? Arthur Lewis and Lloyd Bally drove up to Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, returning in the evening, driving Rainy J. and Fashion. John Hart, the well known Los Angeles capitalist and piano manufacturer, was in town Tuesday looking at his possessions in this neighborhood. John has jumped the plano business and is now importing tea. Marshal Steadman gives notice this morning that he will enforce the ordinance providing for the restriction of lawn sprinkling. The hours for lawn sprinkling are limited, and users of city water who permit the water to run upon their lawns all night long practice a rank imposition upon those inhabitants who respect the ordinance. The marshal will pay one dollar for information regarding violation of the law. Miss Ella Gardiner is acting as agent at the telegraph office during Mrs. Lane’s temporary absence. She is putting up interesting bulletins from the St. Louis convention in front of the postoffice. R. Archibald was in from Buena Park and reports the people getting three meals a day out there yet.

The News of Thursday gives extracts from a report of Lieut Parke, U.S.A., embracing a survey from San Joe through the Pajaro valley, along Monterey bay close down the coast to San Diego. Concerning that portion of the route, to San Diego, the report reads as follows: "From Los Angeles to San Diego by personal inspection, I know three practicable routes, the relative merits of which can only be determined by actual survey, viz: First, from Los Angeles southeasterly by the Chino ranch and Laguna to Temecula and thence via Pala and Santa Margarity canyon to vicinity of Buena Vista, thence to San Diego. Second, from Los Angeles via Anaheim and the Santa Ana canyon to Temecula, and thence as before. Third, from Los Angeles via Anaheim to San Jpan Capistrano, and thence to San Mateo, by Mission Vieja de le Paez, and thence by the coast, avoiding the undulating table lands, to San Diego. On Wednesday evening, last, a complimentary serenade was given Hon. Henry Kroeger, mayor of Anaheim. We have been shown by Mr. Rumble a flake of alluvial paste deposited as sediment by the Chapman ditch. By drying in the sun it has become curled up and hardened until it resembles putty. It is this substance that so enriches our lands at each overflow of the water. Anaheim Gazette, fifty-two weeks for $1.50. GROW BEET SEED From present indications the acreage devoted to growing sugar beet seed in the United States this season will be somewhat less than last year, in the opinion of specialists of the United States department of agriculture. This is due to several causes: First, the drop in the price of sugar has caused several of the sugar companies which grow beet seed to curtail their expenses, and on of their means of curtailment is by eliminating or greatly reducing the production of sugar beet seed. Second, sugar beet seed has become more abundant and more easily obtainable from European countries than it was during the war period and immediately thereafter. Third, while the price of imported sugar beet seed is still from two to three times as high as the pre-war price it is greatly reduced as compared with the price of this commodity during the war. Fourth, the cost of producing American sugar beet seed under normal conditions is higher than the cost of seed imported from European countries. In spite of these changes, which tend to reduce the beet seed acreage in the United States, there are some strong reasons why beet seed growing should be encouraged in this country, department specialists point out. The experience of American growers during the past few years, they say, has demonstrated that sugar beet seed can be produced in this country comparable, in regard to quality, with the imported seed and in some respects, especially with reference to germinating qualities, the American-grown seed has generally surpassed the best imported seed. The importations of sugar beet seed during the past several months have indicated an even lower grade, from the standpoint of germination. Free!

DANZ PIANO CO. THINK OF MUSIC The only argument, therefore, against the production of sugar beet seed in this country is its cost when compared with that of an equal amount of imported seed. This difference in cost is more imaginary than real, because of the better germinating quality of the American-grown seed as well as its freedom from stock beet seed. Furthermore, the cost of production will surely be reduced with longer experience and more highly developed labor-saving implements. Formerly the stecklings, or roots from which seed is produced, were all topped by hand in the fall before putting them in storage for the winter. We have now learned that this work can be done just as satisfactorily and at a small fraction of the former cost by the use of an ordinary mowing machine before the roots are taken out of the ground. Another large item of expense in beet seed production is the hand harvesting of the seed stalks, which makes from two to four cuttings necessary. One of the several objects which the department of agriculture has in mind in its beet seed breeding work is the development of strains of seed beets which will ripen their seed at the same time. When this is accomplished it will be entirely possible to harvest the seed by machinery, and so with other operations employed in producing sugar beet seed, the cost will certainly be reduced and the yield per acre will be increased with improved methods of culture, making the cost of produc- masse for criticising some of Postmaster General Burleson's manipulations of the "merit system." Presumably the organization was deterred by the fact that one of its long-time members and leaders was busily engaged in handling out more patronage than any three of his predecessors ever had to dispense, with less attention to anything but partisanship than any president since Andrew Jackson. Now that a Republican president is in power we may expect that the national civil service reform association will be in a constant statio of eruption, however far the administration may go up upholding the "merit system." The organization is interested primarily in the protection of job-holders, and not in the protection of the interests of a public already suffering almost beyond endurance from the exactions of the professional bureaucracy built up under the federal "closed shop."

Six of them rise more than 13,000 feet above sea level and nearly sixty rise above 12,000 feet, according to the United States geological survey. The highest mountain in the state is Kings peak, which has an elevation of 13,498 feet. Mount Emmons and Gilbert peak, both in Utah, are also high mountains, reaching elevations of 13,-428 and 13,422 feet, respectively.

A supply of high grade sugar beet seed is of prime importance in maintaining and expanding the American beet sugar industry. War-time experience demonstrated that if the American beet-sugar industry is to be placed on a stable and independent basis a large part of the sugar beet seed supply must be produced in this country. IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE The national civil service reform league has issued a statement protesting against the ruling that the first three names on the eligible list must be submitted to the postoffice department after examinations have been held to fill vacancies in offices of the first, second and third class. It doesn't take much under a Republican national administration to set the national civil service reform league going. While a former president of the league was engaged in emptying the postoffices and other public places of Republicans, and "getting rid of" Republicans as rural carriers, city carriers, fourth class postmasters and in other places supposedly covered by the "merit system," this organization kept a discreet silence.
