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 In view of the discouraging circumstances under which we have labored, the amount of improvements made in the southern part of this county during the past year and a half, is something wonderful. We only cite a few instances with which we are familiar, leaving, no doubt, unnoticed many examples equally important, with which we do not happen to be conversant. In the present limits of Fairview school district, there were not probably at the beginning of last year over ten families. Now the number must exceed seventy-five. There is a fine school house erected and paid for in which a flourishing day school and also a Sunday school are regularly held. The new colony of Westminster has also sprung up within the limits where a large number of families are already located and fresh accessions to their numbers constantly being received. They also have regular religious services. Cotton growing has also been introduced into this district with brilliant promise of success in a more favorable season. In the region south of Santa Ana, where at the time mentioned there were but a very few scattering settlers, living at great distances apart on large grants, the dwellings of newcomers are thickly dotted over the fertile plain from the river southward to the great San Joaquin ranch. Of these the dwellings of T. Cozad and E. W. Squires deserves particular mention as elegant structures. A thriving town, Santa Ana, has spring up in the midst of the settle- 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK The water board met on Saturday afternoon and levied an assessment of a dollar per share. The company must meet a note of $10,000 forthwith, and although a diligent search for money here and in Los Angeles resulted in locating the whereabouts of $14,000 that was promised the company, the most of it melted into thin air when it came to the borrowing point, and the company had no recourse but to slap an assessment. The Los Angeles banks are not loaning a cent. The banks are fortifying themselves all over the country, and when a loan of $25,000 was recently asked of one of the best known banks in southern California, for ninety days, the bankers laughed at the proposition, saying they did not care for the security—the borrower might just as well ask for twenty-five millions. There will be no large loans made until after the election. Painter Nemeta was aroused from his slumbers some nights ago by a midnight prowler who attempted to enter his residence through the window. Mr. Nemetz caught a glimpse of the fellow as he made off in the darkness after being frightened away from the premises, and is quite sure he knows the fellow as one living not a dozen miles away from his place. He is prepared to give him a warmer reception on his next visit.

In the region south of Santa Ana, where at the time mentioned there were but a very few scattering settlers, living at great distances apart on large grants, the dwellings of newcomers are thickly dotted over the fertile plain from the river southward to the great San Joaquin ranch. Of these the dwellings of T. Cozad and E. W. Squires deserves particular mention as elegant structures. A thriving town, Santa Ana, has sprung up in the midst of the settlement, and does a flourishing trade with the surrounding country. The new town of Richland has also been started, and a new port opened at San Joaquin bay, whence the inhabitants of the surrounding country derive much of their lumber supply. In Anaheim many valuable buildings have been erected, two of which, the residences of Mayor Kroeger and Phil Davis, are now being completed, and are notable evidences of the wealth and taste of their owners. Two fine hotels are also about commencing to be built, and another is in prospect. In the way of water works, Chapman & Co. alone have expended some $20,000 upon their new canal and flume, and many important ditches have been constructed. To give a better idea of the amount of lumber used, we will simply state that our two lumber frms at Anaheim Landing have this year sold over two million feet of lumber, and besides this several cargoes have been sold at Newport. A fine refreshing thunder shower occurred yesterday morning, commencing about 4 o'clock and continuing two hours. We feel better. It seems certain, from many indications, that there is an old and well established stronghold of horses thieves somewhere in the timber on the Bolsa ranchos in this township beyond the limits of the present white settlements. Horses have disappeared in that direction, beyond the ken of civilized men, but could be readily ransomed by a five dollar fee to a greaser. The officers of justice should see to it that this den is ferreted out and broken up. The nucleus of an excellent brass band has been formed among us by four public spirited citizens who deserve praise for their efforts in this behalf. Messrs. E. A. Pullen, Andrew Greily, Albert Johnson and George Sippel compose ten present force. The band was organized about four months later his residence through the window. Mr. Nemefz caught a glimpse of the fellow as he made off in the darkness after being frightened away from the premises, and is quite sure he knows the fellow as one living not a dozen miles away from his place. He is prepared to give him a warmer reception on his next visit. Hans Weisel, the twelve-year-old son of Peter Weisel, injured the thumb of his right hand in a corn sheller on Sunday last. Although the thumb was quite badly mashed, amputation will not be necessary, and the lad was yesterday reported to be improving under the treatment of Dr. Lee. The partnership heretofore existing between J. Harry Whitaker and George Whitaker, at Buena Park, has been dissolved, George Whitaker retiring. The new firm is composed of J. Harry Whitaker and B. C. Robinson under the firm name, and style of Whitaker & Co. Frank Stout, who recently arrived from Wyoming, has taken a lease on the Commercial hotel, and is now the regularly installed Mine Host of the noted caravansary. Mr. Stout is an experienced hotel keeper, and has in contemplation many alterations and improvements looking to the making of the Commercial one of the best hotels in southern California. He is accompanied by his wife and little son. Forbes B. Sandilands leaves for New York early next month to remain during the coming orange shipping season. Mr. Sandilands will dispose of his own crop of oranges, and having been in this line of business before, hopes to be able to realize handsome profits on the prime fruit raised in his orchard. He informs us he will doubtless handle also the crops of others, and goes east to work up a market for a fancy grade of fruit. He will be absent until next year. Eddie Bennerscheidt has pedaled his way to Ensenada in Lower California, where he is rapidly learning the rudiments of the Spanish language, and under the tutelage of George Heffner will grow up with the country and make his fortune along with the other Anaheimers there.

One recently found, not only that the deceased was killed by a certain person, but also that said certain person was guilty of murder in the first degree. Which is assuming dangerous powers. Mr. Fischer informs us that the question of the insurance upon the late Planters' House has been settled and that he proceeds immediately to the erection of a new building upon the site of the old one, to be 72 feet front on each street, and two stories high. Born, in this city, on the 16th, to the wife of M. Callher, a daughter. Numerous instances of petty stealing have occurred lately. Mr. Bittner's fruit trees were robbed of their fruit and the trees themselves much injured. Mr. Phil Hammes has suffered two injuries, first losing a valuable chess table and set of chess men, and secondly a couple of clocks, one of which was a valuable regulator and had several articles of value inside of it, all of which were carried off. Our citizens must watch their goods. Thieves are here.

They are temporarily the guests of Lou Miller and wife. Orange and San Pedro are both talking of following the example set by Long Beach and disincorporating, and petitions are being circulated in both places, the first to vote on excluding a large portion of outer territorial area of the city, and the second to vote on disincorporation outright. George Boyd has a force of young ladies packing lemons at Conrad's old building on Adele street. The lemons are of first-class quality and command top-notch prices. The city trustees met last evening to fix the tax rate for the ensuing year. City Clerk Nebelung said yesterday afternoon that it would probably be $1.12 on the hundred. Bishop Francis Mora, of Los Angeles, who recently resigned the bishopric of southern California after a long term of years, came down on Monday to remain on a short visit with Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Rimpau. NO COUNTY MONEY FOR FARM BUREAU Would Have to Levy Tax to Aid Woman's Department Hopes of women committeemen of the farm bureau for the immediate establishment of a farm bureau department in connection with the farm bureau work fell to the ground, for the presentation of the matter to the board of supervisors of the county, with the petition for an appropriation of $1500 that the work might be carried on, met with the decision of the board not to make the appropriation. The reason for the decision was that the money could not be raised without increasing the tax rate over last year's rate. "Are we discouraged?" said one prominent woman of the organization in discussing the matter. "By no means. Disappointed, yes, but it is merely delaying matters, not ending them, for 'When a woman will, she will, you may depend on it,' and we will have that department eventually." The presentation of the matter to the county board was made formally by the committee appointed by the women at a meeting held in July, this committee consisting of Mrs. Alvin Block, Mrs. Sidney Saunby and Mrs. J. R. Schofield. This committee, backed by a representative crowd of women from the different farm centers of the county and members of the board of directors of the farm bureau, appeared at the court house where the supervisors were in session and each member of the committee made a talk presenting the need for such a measure and the benefit to be derived from it not only by the women of the farms, but by the whole county which, they said, would directly benefit through the conservation of food products made possible through instruction given the women by a competent home demonstrator. The committee asked the board to give an answer at once in order that were so many demands for the aid of the county for other enterprises of a public nature, and they were desirous of avoiding the necessity of further increasing the tax rate. The position of Orange county in refusing the establishment of a farm home department with an advisor in charge, place it in the peculiar position, it is declared, by the bureau committees, of being the only county in the state where such action has been taken. Of all the counties in the state, it was stated by one of the women at the supervisors' meeting, there now remains but one in addition to Orange where the movement is not under way. In Los Angeles county it has not been proposed, but steps are now being taken to bring it before the farm bureau and eventually the board of supervisors. In the other counties where the department is not already established, appropriation has been made and the application at the university for a demonstrator will be made within the near future, it was stated. The board of supervisors has undertaken to finance an extensive highway maintenance and building program for the coming year and feels that other worthy projects must wait. CDISSINGER SEES PERIOD OF PROSPERITY AHEAD Controller of the Currency Crissinger, in speaking before the convention of the National Association of Supervisors of State Banks, at Philadelphia, said that the present depression is sure, in due time, to be succeeded by an epoch of great activity and of abounding prosperity. He pointed out that the world has gone through so many periods of the same sort that it is hardly necessary to explain. "Our problem," he said, "is to hasten the return to normal conditions, and that end no element in the community can nature. Whatever else may be wrong, the world is not suffering from overproduction. It is suffering from over-consumption for a long period of years, which has left it urgently in need of a resumption of production in almost every line and every country." Controller Crissinger said that those who are not working need to work; industries which are idle need to be put into operation; railroads, which all over the world are in worse physical condition than ever before, desperately need to have may billions spent in their rehabilitation. There is every need, he pointed out, for the employment of the unemployed, and for the resumption of operations by idle establishments. The controller of the currency emphasized that there is no disposition to invite conflict as to authority or jurisdiction between the banking establishment which is under federal control and those various classifications of banks which are under state control. "I realize," he said, "at times there has been some disposition to misunderstanding and friction, but in a time like the present that must be put absolutely aside." Controller Crissinger further stated that the country is getting too many banks, and that at the present time thre is a mania for starting new institutions. "I am convinced," he said, "that many applications are made with the intent and purpose of creating a place where promoters can find easy access to credit. Applications that have this appearance I reject." Crissinger emphasized the importance of co-operation on the part of the banks and the controller's office, and pointed out that it is desirable at not too infrequent intervals to secure, as the result of synchronized calls on all banks, a remote picture of the whole banking situation of the nation. "The combined financial resources of banking institutions properly used," he said, "will not only rehabilitate our house where the supervisors were in session and each member of the committee made a talk presenting the need for such a measure and the benefit to be derived from it not only by the women of the farms, but by the whole county which, they said, would directly benefit through the conservation of food products made possible through instruction given the women by a competent home demonstrator. The committee asked the board to give an answer at once in order that the application might be made to the university for the services of a demonstrator and the work got under way early in the fall, providing action by the supervisors might be favorable. After being assured that the matter would be taken under advisement and the reply made in the afternoon, the committee members and the men of the farm bureau returned to the farm bureau office, where the board of directors went into session. At a late hour in the afternoon, the supervisors sent word to the farm bureau office that they had found it impossible to grant the request as there in speaking before the convention of the National Association of Supervisors of State Banks, at Philadelphia, said that the present depression is sure, in due time, to be succeeded by an epoch of great activity and of abounding prosperity. He pointed out that the world has gone through so many periods of the same sort that it is hardly necessary to explain. "Our problem," he said, "is to hasten the return to normal conditions, and to that end no element in the community can contribute more than the bankers. "The banking fabric of the country is absolutely sound and secure; it is only necessary that all the elements and factors in it shall stand firmly together and shall adhere to the one general policy of public service in a time when it is so very important in order to insure their utmost usefulness to the country. "I think nearly everybody," he said, "recognizes today that the conditions which are delaying the return on industrial activity and commercial prosperity throughout the world are, to a considerable extent, artificial in their access to credit. Applications that have this appearance I reject." Crissinger emphasized the importance of co-operation on the part of the banks and the controller's office, and pointed out that it is desirable at not too infrequent intervals to secure, as the result of synchronized calls on all banks, a remote picture of the whole banking situation of the nation. "The combined financial resources of banking institutions properly used," he said, "will not only rehabilitate our industrial activities and meet all our own requirements, but will ultimately save the other countries of the world from bankruptcy. The bankers in their respective spheres can do much to stabilize trade industry and commerce. "Those who have been optimists, those who have played the bull side of the market on America, have always been the winners in this country. Not in 2000 years of well recorded history has there been a time when any country so securely held leadership and nomination. So far as we are privileged now to see, the future is ours."
