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 celebration of the Fourth of July at Santa Ana by the citizens of that place and Anaheim, was the most general and enthusiastic of any event held south of the San Gabriel river. The entire celebration was organized by the public spirited citizens of Santa Ana. G. W. Barter, editor of the Gazette, was the orator of the day. At Anaheim the day was ushered in by the firing of thirteen guns by Arnold & Baldwin, and by other bustle and noise of preparation for the ride to our neighboring town. The business houses were closed for the day, flags were flung to the breeze, and at an early hour there were visible all the symptoms and indications of an old-time enthusiastic day. The Los Angeles News announces its intention not to support any Democratic candidate for office who is not a subscriber to that paper. The News people are impressed with the strange hallucination that editors require money and have to eat, and all that sort of nonsense. Their item on this subject also looks like advocating a compulsory education of the masses. The News has the grip this time, and its circulation will, no doubt, speedily increase. We adopt the same platform. We are informed that the sheep belonging to Woods & Athern and Ned Polhemus are now grazing in the Laguna valley about thirty miles south. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Tim Carroll is engaged upon a model of his patented beet dump at Connelly's blacksmith shop, and has a number of very fine testimonials regarding the efficiency of the same. These will be published in pamphlet form later on, and circulated broadcast throughout the country, and Tim expects to meet with a ready sale for the dump, there being nothing like it in the country. Certain it is, that the nine hundred carloads of beets sent from here to Chino last season could not have been handled with such dispatch by the use of any other apparatus, and as the dump comes more and more into general use, the work of unloading will be greatly expedited. Tim is an old hand at the patent business and has already procured a number of patents for horticultural implements, among them being his tree transplanter, which achieved such great success a number of years ago; but he never patented anything like the beet dump, which is destined to revolutionize the art of dumping. It will, no doubt, come into general use with the railroads and shipping, as instead of shoveling out a carload of coal, for instance, all one has to do is to run the car up on the dump, tilt it to any required angle, and over goes the car of coal. Ernest Bentz has had the pleasure of seeing his name in print in the Los Angeles and Santa Ana papers, but in a manner which he thinks is not alto- We are informed that the sheep belonging to Woods & Athern and Ned Polhemus are now grazing in the Laguna valley, about thirty miles southeast of the San Rafael mines. Water and grass are abundant, and the sheep, numbering over 20,000, are in fine condition. Senor Don Juan Forster has upon his ranch five magnificent specimens of the century plant, that are now in full bloom. They are very large and can be seen in all their glory from a long distance amid the flowers that deck a portion of that noted ranch. A squadron of Anaheim grasshoppers are rusticating at Santa Ana, and are as fat, ragged and saucy as ever. They are only on a visit and will be back to Anaheim in a few days. Five artesian wells are now flowing at Santa Ana. Another one opposite the store of Mr. Spurgeon at that place, is down to a depth of 130 feet, and the augur is working in gravel, which appears to be the bed of a dry river. Water will no doubt be struck there in a few days. If a success it will demonstrate that artesian water can be obtained all over this valley. Rev. J. L. Bennett will preach in Anaheim at 11 o'clock a.m. tomorrow, and at Fairview school house at 3:00 p.m. We have received from the garden of Mr. L. Gunther some fine specimens of early pears and figs, the first, we believe, of the season. The board of supervisors have granted the petition of J. J. Johnson and others, of Santa Ana, asking that a school district to be known as Newport, be set apart in San Joaquin township. Communicated: There is nothing so omnipotent in this age of Brass as cheek—impudence. For this very sublimity of cheek commend me to the self constituted people's candidate revolutionize the art of dumping. Will, no doubt, come into general use with the railroads and shipping, as instead of shoveling out a carload of coal, for instance, all one has to do is to run the car up on the dump, tilt it to any required angle, and over goes the car of coal. Ernest Bentz has had the pleasure of seeing his name in print in the Los Angeles and Santa Ana papers, but in a manner which he thinks is not altogether flattering, and he is undecided whether to bring libel suit against the papers or not. The papers charged him with being arrested for burglary, when a matter of fact he was only the complaining witness against one Joseph Acuna for petty larceny. Jake Stern and wife and two children leave on Sunday for a six months' visit to Germany. He will visit his old home in Saxe-Coberg, which he hasn't seen for twelve years. Jake has lived in America for a dozen years, and this is his first trip home. He will sail on the well known Atlantic liner, Furst Bismarck, and will leave New York on the 23rd. Gus Hansen, of Orangethorpe, has donated forty acres of land to the Bixby sugar factory to have the site located this side of the county line. Thus of the 400 acres necessary for this purpose Mr. Hansen donates one-tenth of the whole. The deeds are conditioned upon work on the factory being commenced on the 15th of the present month. Madame Chevallier visited with her daughter, Mrs. Hartung, during the week, and on her return to her home in Los Angeles was accompanied by the latter, who still remains visiting with her. Our old side-partner, John Hartung, went up to spend the Fourth returning in the evening. Mrs. Nebulung went to Los Angeles yesterday to remain a month, during which time her little daughter will be under the treatment of an occultist for eyewear trouble. Charley Ramella is rejoicing over the arrival of a new son and heir at his home on Monday. Charley hopes to have that bridge put in over the ditch in front of his home by the time the youngster gets old enough to walk over it.

Communicated: There is nothing so omnipotent in this age of Brass as cheek—impudence. For this very sublimity of cheek commend me to the self-constituted people's candidate, Major Strobel. In the last issue of the People's Advocate the doughty major defines his position, and explains his reasons for making a departure from the established usages of Democracy. He starts out by asking the support of every voter, irrespective of party, in the coming election. Then he labors through a whole column to convince his supporters that he is still a good Democrat—none of your new departures, but a dyed-in-the wool, simon pure, twenty year old Democrat. But alas! the Democratic party of Los Angeles is held in bondage by men who utterly disregard the first grand principle of (self-styled) Democracy—a division of the public spoils. These men will not divide the public plunder, and the major is not strong enough in his part to force these "bloated aristocrats" to disgorge. But if you "black Republicans," "radicals" and "nigger Strobel," to the assembly, I'll convince wordirpers' will only help me. Max you will I am a good Democrat by voting in Democrat for the U.S. senate. We Republicans are asked to support a man upon the sole issue that he wants an office that his own party will not give him—and that he is a good Democrat. I confess I have considerable curiosity to see the man who calls himself a Republican, who is gudgeon enough to be caught with such a baul. Charley Ramella is rejoicing over the arrival of a new son and heir at his home on Monday. Charley hopes to have that bridge put in over the ditch in front of his home by the time the youngster gets old enough to walk over it. Alex Henry is in correspondence with Prof. Woodbridige and hopes to have him with him at the Caledonia ranch on Saturday, when he intends making a test of applying steam to scale infested trees. If the professor comes, Mr. Henry will give a public exhibition of his steaming process, and invites those interested to be with him on that day. Ben Rimpau was down from Los Angeles on a ten days' vacation. Ben is one of the handsomest counter jumpers in the Boston store, and as the proprietor of the establishment is a very charming widow, there ought to be a good chance for Ben jumping in and owning the store himself. James Irvine, proprietor of the San Joaquin ranch, has been cited by Judge Towner to appear today to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt. A decision establishing the right of 200 El Modena settlers to the use of water from Santiago creek was recently rendered, and Judge Towner enjoined Irvine from diverting the waters, but he disregarded the injunction. A. Pierotti and Andrew Gillison have placed us under obligations to them for a couple of baskets of the finest apricots we have seen this season. ANAHEIM GAZETTE THE FOREIGN VIEW ON PROHIBITION Stockholm Editor Believes It Makes the Nation Gloomy Here are a distinguished foreigner's two comments on prohibition in the United States: It makes the American people dull and gloomy. If you have the price, liquor is not hard to get. Dr. Helmer Key, editor-in-chief of the influential Stockholm daily, the Svenska Dagbladet, passes these strictures after a personal tour of the United States. He has just published a book in Sweden entitled, "My Trip to America in 1920," which tells the Swedes a great deal about America. Translations made from this book in the office of the American minister, Ira Nelson Morris, in Stockholm, show that Dr. Key was not favorably impressed by the operation of the prohibition laws in America last year. Here are extracts from the editor's observations: "The most outstanding characteristic of the situation resulting from the prohibition law is a certain atmosphere of silent weariness, prevailing especially among the lower sections of the people. To the upper classes of society the liquor prohibition so far has brought but few inconveniences. In the leading hotels and restaurants no alcohol whatsoever is served and even if spirits were served occasionally in some of the restaurants of New York it is safe to say that the hotels did not dare to transgress the law. "An attentive observer might, however, soon enough discover certain maneuvers at the tables around him in the restaurants, not a few brandy flasks of the most peculiar shapes being circulated, evidently containing whisky or similar liquors. The liquor prohibition has given rise to a new branch of goldsmith manufacture—counties had drilled the following number of wells: Fresno ... 110 Kern ... 997 Los Angeles ... 1228 Orange ... 138 Santa Barbara ... 219 Ventura ... 306 Total ... 2998 These wells, of course, represented the efforts of years of labor and are the number which were drilled through all of the period of prospecting, from the discovery of the first wells in the southern fields, for the counties mentioned. During this period there has been a total of 2998 wells drilled, of which 1271 were abandoned, 322 were of doubtful value, and that year—1903—when the consensus of the wells was taken there were only 190 wells being drilled. How different is the story of today! A report of the state bureau just issued states that during the six months of this year—1921—there have been 697 new wells established, as compared with 400 for a similar period last year. Of the wells abandoned during this year the number is 109. This record is believed to be better than furnished by any other state in the union. California is a leader in oil production. It produces more than any other division known in the United States. The nearest approach is Oklahoma. Some idea of the extent of the industry in California may be gathered when the figures as to the number of wells in the state are realized. During the year 1920 there were 9490 producing wells. Since that time 697 new wells have been established. To the total would be 10,118. But there were 109 abandoned, so that the net at present is 10,009. The average daily production of an oil well in the state is estimated at 32.5 barrels, according to state authorities. spend the night in that beautiful canyon, so they went home. When they arrived at their home they found just the bare walls and a large piano which was evidently too large to handle, everything else having been moved away—furniture, clothing, jewelry, silverware, money and other things, all gone. The sheriff's office was at once notified and the Reids were arrested as was also the man who had done the hauling and the man whom they are said to have hired to do the job. Much of the stuff was recovered, but still the Barkers are out about $4500. The Reids are out on bond and the others are still in jail. Deputies from the sheriff's office were in Placentia a few days ago looking up the record of the Reids here and seeing if they still owned the property on Chapman avenue and in what shape it was recorded at the court house. If you have nothing to recommend you but your dignity, you are not as important as the rattle o' fa Ford door.

"An attentive observer might, however, soon enough discover certain maneuvers at the tables around him in the restaurants, not a few brandy flasks of the most peculiar shapes being circulated, evidently containing whisky or similar liquors. The liquor prohibition has given rise to a new branch of goldsmith manufacture—namely, alcoholic reservoirs, for instance, in the form of cigarette cases, spectacle cases, opera glass cases and like. "The life, especially of manual laborers, who could not afford to lay up supplies, is very dull. If you visit as I did, for instance, one of the sailors' homes at the harbor of Philadelphia, you will be struck by the immense gloom perrading the place, dreary in itself, where the men hang over a filthy billard table or over a game of dominoes without the slightest prospect of stimulus. "Very few people had imagined that ale and lighter wines would be placed under prohibition, nor that prohibition would prove of so long duration. The discontent, accordingly, is now the greater. I have talked with many men and women and nearly all have expressed dissatisfaction even though admitting that the prohibition may prove beneficial to the people as a whole. "A thing that to a certain extent lessens the inconveniences of the liquor prohibition is the lavish supply of all kinds of fruits and sweets. If it were not for these liquor prohibition would be sure to prove much more pernicious. This state of things, as a matter of fact, leads you to see the necessity of a complete and very expensive readjustment of the present conditions of diet in Europe if a liquor prohibition were to be considered there at all, this being true, especially of Scandinavia. "Private preparation of spirits and ale is very common. In Washington, and also in many other places, it is declared that there is not a kitchen but has its own distillation apparatus for the preparation of whisky or other liquors." THE AUTO INDUSTRY IS IN THIRD PLACE Steel, Iron and Meat Only One Superior to Vehicle Trade. In the value as well as the volume of its production, the automobile industry ranks third in the United States. It is outreached only by the steel and iron and meat packing industries. A comparative summary of the manufactures of the United States in 1919 shows that the meat packing industry led all others with a total production value of $3,714,340,000. The iron and steel manufacturing industry came second with a production value of $2,812,775,000 while the automobile manufacturing industry was third with $2,-387,833,000. There were ten other industries in the billion dollar production class in 1919, the figures show. They were foundry and machine shop products,$2,321,129,000; flour mill and grist mill products,$2,193,007,000; bread and other bakery products,$1,406,145,000; boots and shoes,$1,249,560,000; electric railroad cars, not including operation,$1,277,584,000; men's clothing,$1-158,007,000; women's clothing,$1-158,007,000; cotton goods,$1,887,919,000; lumber and timber products,$1,400,000; steel shipbuilding,$1454,116,000.

COUNTY FIGURES BIG IN RECORD OF FIELDS Prospectors are again exploring the surface of the state of California. Theer have been days of gold, in days gone by; there have been days of tungsten, in more recent times, and of silver and even of the rarer materials. Borax was one day king and still attracts some attention; but today the theme of those who, with pick and shovel and burro and frying pan, crawl over the plain and mountain area of this wondrous state is petroleum. It brings to mind the aphorism of old that "history repeats itself." For there was a similar crusade back in the days of previous to 1903. Probably not as extensive as it is today, for in those days the reward was not so great. Today, with a good price for the raw product of oil, there are literally thousands who are exploring the valleys and the hills, as well as the orange groves and the desert lands of the state. Wildcat wells are now being drilled from Del Norte county in the north to San Diego in the south. Oil fields are being worked over. In 1903 twenty-six counties were being prospected for oil, but eventually it all centralized itself down into the six counties, which are now the largest producers in the country, and, for that matter, in the world. These counties are Frosno, Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Santa Barbara and Ventura. In the early period of the 1900s these mark were: Tires and rubber goods, $980,070,000; leather, tanned, curried and finished, $928,524,000; printing and publishing, newspapers and periodicals, $892,415,000; paper and wood pulp, $794,350,000; petroleum, refining, $644,584,000; printing and publishing, book and job, $600,503,000; confectionery and ice cream, $637,215,000; steam railroad cars, not including operation; $539,528,000; butter, $583,216,000; food preparations, not otherwise specified, $662,883,000; furniture, $573,785,000; electrical machinery, apparatus and supplies, $884,343,000; knit goods, $686,099,000; lumber, planing mill products, $560,867,000; oil and oilcake, cottonseed, $670,213,000; automobile bodies and parts, $673,590,000; sugar refining, not including beet sugar, $730,987,000; tobacco, cigars and cigarettes, $863,159,000; copper, smelting and refining, $632,897,000; worsted goods, $675,709,000. PLACENTIA COUPLE IN TOILS IN LOS ANGELES Mr. and Mrs. Reid, who recently bought the house built by O. C. Christensen on Chapman avenue, and who have been living in the Placentia hotel are having a lot of trouble in Los Angeles, because it is alleged they were the instigators of the stealing and hauling away of the furniture, etc., from the home of a man by the name of Barker in that city. It is claimed by the police that they went to Los Angeles and got T. J. Barber and his family and went for a picnic and week-end stay in the Arroyo seco above Pasadena, where they had rented a cabin for a short stay. About five o'clock in the afternoon the Reids are said to have disappeared. This aroused the suspicion of the Barkers as they had all expected to stay and State of California County of Orange SS.: On this 17th day of May, A.D. 1921, before me, Homer G.
