IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Mr. H. D. Polhemus and Mr. N. H. Mitchell announce themselves today as independent candidates for the office of supervisor for the 4th district. Both gentlemen are well known as men possessing an intimate knowledge of road and bridge matters in this part of the county. Mr. Polhemus was formerly agent of the Land company, and as such had occasion to travel much and study local interests. Mr. Mitchell is at present a road master for this township. The candidate running for the nomination on the Democratic ticket is Mr. Gustave Davis. The whole number of children in Anaheim school district between the ages of five and fifteen years according to the school census marchal's report is 275. Anaheim is becoming the social center of this county. Dalls, entertainment and private parties are almost of daily occurrence. The dark lantern squad which congregated last week, contrary to the wishes of the people and without call, adopted the following as their sentiments and object: "The prime object of this meeting is for the purpose of forming an opposition ring to the one in Los Angeles." The above quotation was taken down by our reporter as the verbatim expression of one of the leading parties gathered there. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Engineer Boschke, of the Southern Pacific's construction department, was in town in consultation with the right of way committee at the city hall, on Thursday morning last, and was again in town on Tuesday, having come down to meet with the committee again to decide as to descriptions of property along the contemplated route from the city to the sugar factory. Mr. Boschke has five surveyors in the surveying the route to the new sugar house, who are in charge of R. C. Chase. Mr. Chase has with him Geo. S. Hood, C. H. Lamazeth and Frank Eastman, who come down with him from Los Angeles, and Alfons Fossek, of this city. The surveyors were yesterday down on the Alamitos ranch, and had completed the line about seven miles from this city. The municipal election to vote bonds for the extension of the water and electric light works occurs on August 1st. Eighteen thousand dollars are to be voted for, $11,000 for the extension of the water works and $7090 for the extension of the light plant. There is no private gas company fighting the proposition here, as was the case at Santa Ana, and as the proposition to issue bonds for the inauguration of the electric lighting system in October, 1894, carried by a vote of 103 to 5, and similar conditions prevail, it is fair to assume that not much opposition will manifest itself to the increase of the works at the approaching... The dark lantern squad which congregated last week, contrary to the wishes of the people and without call, adopted the following as their sentiments and object: "The prime object of this meeting is for the purpose of forming an opposition ring to the one in Los Angeles." The above quotation was taken down by our reporter as the verbatim expression of one of the leading parties gathered there. The "People's Advocate" contains an article regarding the stock of Abel Stearns, signed "Observer," which is entirely false and untrue. There is not sufficient space in this paper to expose to a disinterested public the depredations and injustices committed to portions of this county against individuals owning stock, either by killing, maiming or crippling, or by taking the animals up and selling them under false judgments, such as are rendered by S. J. Davis, justice of the peace of Anaheim, founded on a trespass law, which did not exist. Mr. Abel Stearns being one who defends his rights and who appealed his cases to higher tribunals from the unjust and prejudicial decisions of S. J. Davis, justice of the peace of Anaheim, tested the point, and according to law had his decisions reversed and rendered null and void. Mr. Abel Stearns likes to see the advancement of agriculture and encourages the same on all occasions, but does not allow anyone to tread on his toes. Mr. Stearns has a perfect right to graze his stock on any of his unsold lands without consulting the "Observer." Francisco Ruiz, probably the one of that name who murdered Thomas Valardes in Anaheim some weeks ago, was injured by a grizzly bear in the San Fernando mountains, and brought to Los Angeles on Wednesday last. Plans for the San Pedro breakwater were completed and sent to Washington some time since. The commencement of the work is delayed until the return of the plans, with approval or alterations. It is anticipated that three or four thousand feet will be completed before January, 1872, if no delay occurs at Washington. The artesian well at Santa Ana is down to a depth of one hundred and ninety feet, the augur working in blue clay. Grass roots and vegetable fibre are to be voted for, $11,000 for the extension of the water works and $7090 for the extension of the light plant. There is no private gas company fighting the proposition here, as was the case at Santa Ana, and as the proposition to issue bonds for the inauguration of the electric lighting system in October, 1894, carried by a vote of 103 to 5, and similar conditions prevail, it is fair to assume that not much opposition will manifest itself to the increase of the works at the approaching election. Get in the line of progress, and go to the polls and vote for these improvements. The Odd Fellows lodge installed the following officers Tuesday evening: William F. Middleham, N. G.; C. E. Foreman, B. G.; A. M. Williams, secretary; J. P. Zeyn, treasurer; Richard Melrose, R. S. to N. G.; H. A. McWilliams, L. S. to N. G.; Max Bliske, R. S. to V. G.; Oliver Hill, warden; E. W. Champlin, conductor; Arthur L. Porter, O. S. G.; F. S. Gates, I. S. G. Miss Ella Gardiner, who is in charge of the telegraph office during the absence of Mr. Lane, yesterday received bulletins from the Populist and Silver conventions at St. Louis and posted them in front of the postoffice. She was possessed of the patriotism last Saturday evening also to remain in the office until after nine o'clock to get off a budget of Associated Press dispenses for all of which she received nothing. The Pops and Silverites and all good people generally, will dance at Miss Ella's wedding. Herman Dickel took out his citizenship papers in the superior court on Friday. Judge Towner asked him if he had behaved himself during his term of residence in this country, and on proving to the satisfaction of the judge that he had, he was permitted to renounce his allegiance to Kaiser Wilhelm, and become a citizen of the United States. Herman will poll his maiden vote for McKinley and protection and prosperity. The Fullerton high school has issued a neat annual report a copy of which has been sent us. The Fullerton union high school was organized in September, 1893. It embraced the four districts of Buena Park, Orangethorpe, Fullerton and Placentia. From this territory another district (La Habra) was cut off this year (1896). The school “This peculiarity is a splendid character individual to our plants are souls cause of death of a “The plant is usually rigation or other valleys.

The artesian well at Santa Ana is down to a depth of one hundred and ninety feet, the augur working in blue clay. Grass roots and vegetable fibre is found at that depth. At the San Joaquin ranch a small stream of water has been struck at ninety feet. There is a rumor that a Spanish school is soon to be started in Anaheim. Born on the 18th of July, 1871, to the wife of S. Randall of Fairview, a son. The flourishing Los Nietos settlement, the business center of which is Gallatin, is increasing continuously in population and development. The new settlers are nearly all men of property and cultivators of the soil. The settlement embraces the very choicest land in the county, and from present indications it has no mean destiny before it. Its business center contains four blacksmith shops, one mill, two hot-six saloons, besides the stores of Frankel Brothers, W. W. Stuart & Co., B. Guirado and John Sexon two small Spanish stores. The center is surrounded by 150 cultivated farms, within a radius of five miles. FOUND—One black filly. Shod all around; weight about 1000 pounds. J. L. Sutton, Hynes, Calif., Montana Ranch. The Fullerton high school has issued a neat annual report a copy of which has been sent us. The Fullerton union high school was organized in September, 1893. It embraced the four districts of Buena Park, Orangethorpe, Fullerton and Placentia. From this territory another district (La Habra) was cut off this year (1896). The school is located at Fullerton, the Fullerton school district having agreed to furnish rooms for five years. These rooms consist of one large assembly room, one recitation room, one laboratory, and a small room, furnished with bench and tools for the use of the pupils. The laboratory is well furnished with apparatus for conducting experiments in chemistry and physics so as to meet the requirements of the universities. The library, though small, consists of well chosen books of reference along the lines of study prescribed by the course. Carl Bennerscheldt was called to Chino on Monday to take his position in the machine soap of the sugar factory. Carl has a steady job in the refinery's machine shop, three months every year, and is said to be the most expert machinist in the employ of the factory. Herman Dickel has put in a cash register at his place of business to accommodate his increasing trade and has a change in his ad this morning. Herman goes to Los Angeles today to investigate the price of post-office boxes and other paraphernalia, in a condition precedent to an effort to move the post office to the Deutsch lock.

E. Wahlberg to be on the lookout for the cicuta, commonly known as "water hemlock." In the west, it was stated, this plant is frequently referred to as "parsnip." It may at times be responsible for the poisoning of livestock, particular cattle. The top of this plant is thought by many to be poisonous to animals when it is contained in hay. Experiments, however, have demonstrated that it is the root stock and not the top that harbors the most active toxic principal. "Botanists readily recognize several species of 'parsnip.'" said Wahlberg, "but for the information of those not familiar with the various species the following description of one will serve in a measure to determine any of the species of 'parsnip' from plants which otherwise closely resemble them: "The cicuta grows from a root stock to which are attached a number of smaller roots which are sometimes rather slender, but which may take the form of thick fleshy tubers. "A longitudinal section of the root stock will reveal more or less distinctly transverse chambers which vary in number. This peculiarity of the root stock is a splendid characteristic for the ordinary individual to seek when poisonous plants are sought as the probable cause of death of animals. "The plant is usually found along irrigation or other water courses in the valleys. Animals as a rule gain access to the roots through the latter being washed out of the ground by high water or by being plowed up. "Losses from 'poison parsnip' can stand that explicit provision, President Wilson did not submit the treaty of defense alliance at the same time that he submitted the treaty with Germany. Neither did he inform the country of the existence of such treaty until forced by public discussion. "While this breach of faith on the part of a high American official must be admitted with no small degree of humiliation, yet it can be said in defense of the people of the United States that at the first opportunity they repudiated the official who had thus brought discredit upon their government. If officials in Great Britain have been guilty of misleading the people of that nation and the United States they should be rebuked in a manner no less decisive than that by which the people of the United States rebuked their chief executive. There can be no satisfactory relations between two great world powers unless there is frankness and sincerity in international communications." A PEOPLE STILL ASLEEP Several hundred Mexicans were recently sent back to Mexico from Los Angeles, where they had become public charges because o fa lack of work. A Mexican steamship was sent for them and they were taken back in a body. These Mexicans came to California because they were lured here by high wages and plenty of work. Now the wages are down and the work is scarce. Lacking both they cannot live here longer, so they go back to Mexico, where cheap beans and pulque make living costs reasonable. One trouble with the Mexicans is their persistent refusal to know their own country. Another trouble is the lack of push of modern progress. Still another tremendous handicap is that the system of small land holdings is a chargeable to or a lien against the payment of, and take the property purchased by him subject to, all the state and county taxes, and all assessments of whatsoever name and nature, which are now or may become hereafter chargeable to or a lien against the... “This peculiarity of the root stock is a splendid characteristic for the ordinary individual to seek when poisonous plants are sought as the probable cause of death of animals. “The plant is usually found along irrigation or other water courses in the valleys. Animals as a rule gain access to the roots through the latter being washed out of the ground by high water or by being plowed up. “Losses from ‘poison parsnip’ can only be prevented by pulling or digging the plants out by the roots or fencing stock away from it, when practical to do so. An effective remedy for the relief from ‘parsnip’ poisoning in cattle is yet to be discovered.” IS BRITAIN DECEIVING? “In view of a recent announcement which the department of state felt impelled to issue it will not be surprising if the people of this country read with a large measure of suspicion dispatches which come from across the Atlantic,” says the Republican Publicity association, through its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. “The statement given out by the department reads: ‘In view of a dispatch of the Associated Press, with respect to the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, to the effect that it is understood that the state department has been kept fully informed of the plans of the British government and that it has been given assurance that in the renewal of the treaty every precaution will be taken to guard against the inclusion of anything inimical to American right, it is deemed proper to say that the state department is not informed with respect to plans of the British government and has received no assurances in the matter.’ When the Associated Press correspondent in London asserted that it is understood that the state department has been kept fully informed he undoubtedly had received such information from some official source. The correspondent of a news agency with the high standing of the Associated Press must also have had official authority for his statement that the state department has been given assurances that in a renewal of the Anglo-Japanese treaty every precaution will be taken to guard against the inclusion of anything inimical to American right. “It appears therefore that misleading wages and plenty of work. Now the wages are down and the work is scarce. Lacking both they cannot live here longer, so they go back to Mexico, where cheap beans and pulque make living costs reasonable. One trouble with the Mexican is their persistent refusal to know their own country. Another trouble is the lack of push of modern progress. Still another tremendous handicap is that the system of small land holdings is a mystery to the general run of the population. Recent pronouncements by President Obregon indicate that he is neither ignorant of these financial defects nor untroubled by their existence. He would like to see his people wake up: be enlightened by a system of popular education, learn to know something of the value of themselves of the immeasurable resources of Mexico. A propaganda of these benefits is sorely needed in that country.” Eva Lyons Smith Plano Classical-Thilo Bcker Method Orange County Representative CHRISTENSEN SCHOOL OF POPULAR MUSIC. Studio, 211 W.

Bowers, do hereby certify that they are co-partners engaged in the business of buying, selling, vending and dealing in lumber, lath, sash, doors, windows, lime, cement, roofing materials and other building materials, and conducting a planning mill under the name or designation of Addison-Bowers Lumber Co.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim, Orange County, California. Notice is hereby given to all freeholders in Third road district that the hearing of the petition of John Stirrat et al., filed on the 5th day of July, 1921, to vacate, discontinue, abandon and abolish a certain highway (or certain highways, as the case may be) in Third Road District, in Orange County, California, has been set for Tuesday, the 26th day of July, 1921, at 10 o'clock a.m., at the room of the Board of Supervisors in the Court House at Santa Ana, California. Said road (or roads, as the case may be) is described as follows: Commencing at a point in the East line of Section 1, Twp. 4 South Range 10 West, S. B. B. & M., said point bearing North 0° 40' 20" West, 93.17 feet from the Southeast corner of said Section 1; thence North 50° 47' 45" East, 38.36 feet to a point 30 feet easterly of and measured at right angles from the East line of said Section 1; thence Northern parallel to said Section Line undoubtedly had received such information from some official source. The correspondent of a news agency with the high standing of the Associated Press must also have had official authority for his statement that the state department has been given assurances that in a renewal of the Anglo-Japanese treaty every precaution will be taken to guard against the inclusion of anything inimical to American right. "It appears, therefore, that misleading statements are given out from official sources in Great Britain for the information of the people of the United States. The inaccuracy was so great and the subject matter so important that the department of state felt it necessary for its own protection and for the guidance of the American people to issue a denial. If, as seems an inevitable inference, British authorities are thus spreading untrue propaganda in the United States, this will not be the first instance of the kind. Moreover, if further explanation in this particular instance, to which the country is entitled and which it will certainly expect, discloses that British authorities have been deliberately resorting to deception, the people of America will find a way of manifesting their resentment. "It must be admitted that the United States owing to the deliquency of some of its officials, has not always dealt entirely with frankness in the performance of its undertakings. When the treaty of peace with Germany had been completed and a treaty of alliance for purposes of defense was negotiated between Great Britain, France and the United States, the concluding paragraph of this second treaty provided that this treaty would be submitted to the senate at the same time as the treaty of peace.
