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 Frederick W. Kuelp died at his residence in this city on Sunday last, 20th inst., in the 42nd year of his age. He was a native of Germany, but early emigrated to the United States. He was an honored member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and be longed at them of his death to Harmony lodge at San Francisco. He was one of the original settlers of Anaheim, having removed hither in 1860, soon after the location was surveyed. Here he has filled several public positions, such as president of the Anaheim Lighter Co., clerk of the board of registration, and clerk of the city council, and many others, the duties of all which he has discharged with satisfaction to all and honor to himself. Our attention has been called to a nuisance which has long existed among us, viz., the practice of tying horses on the sidewalks so that the horse shall take up the whole walk and oblige foot passengers to go into the street around him. The proper authorities should remedy the evil. H. D. Polhemus has sold to Robert Mass 160 acres of Rancho Los Coyotes for $600. We have received a circular of the "Victoria League" an institution de- 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK There came near being a drowning accident at the Landing one day last week, when Col. Tuffree, Wm. McFadden, F. G. Ryan and several others narrowly escaped a watery grave. They were out for a sail in the bay and allowed their boat to drift into the swiftly running channel when it was capsized. Each of the occupants declare the other was responsible for the mishap. John Eyman discovered traces of a grape larcenist in his vineyard some morning ago, the fellow's visit having been during the night before, and the imprints of a bucket at the side of several vines, together with the scarcity of grapes in the immediate vicinity, told how the fruit had gone. A look about the vineyard revealed the presence of a long leather purse, and on opening it John was rewarded with finding ten cents ensconced therein. He says he will give the dime back to the larcenist if he will come up and reveal his identity and tell why he came to steal grapes in the night when he could have all he wanted for the asking in the day time. Count Bozenta and Madame Modjeska were the guests of Mrs. Langenberger during the week, and on Monday took their departure for Los Angeles en route to Monterey, where the H. D. Polhemus has sold to Robert Mass 160 acres of Rancho Los Coyotes for $600. We have received a circular of the "Victoria League," an institution declaring its mission to be the organization of the "Equal Rights party," and the election as president of the United States of Mrs. Victoria Woodhull, of New York. Our gallantry would impell us to advocate this ticket, but in the present agitated state of Anaheim politics we fear the result of interpolating any new element into the seething caldron. A large audience of both political parties assembled on Saturday evening last on Center street in front of the water company's office to hear the Republican speakers who had been announced to be present. Music was furnished by the Anaheim band, and salute fired at intervals. S. O. Houghton, candidate for congress led off with the most logical and argumentative speech of the evening. Jesse O. Goodwin, of Marysville, is more of the stump speaker order, tells stories well and excites frequent laughter and applause. Sepulveda followed with a few remarks in English and a lengthy and spirited address in Spanish, which seemed to be enjoyed by his aurigos y palsanos. Romaulo Pacheco, candidate for lieutenant governor, next came upon the platform, but after a short address excused himself on the ground of ill health. A few remarks from Hon. Edward Evy, candidate for the assembly closed the meeting. Phil Davis, Jacob Keller and Mrs. P. Hammes returned from San Francisco by Orizaba on Tuesday last. As will be seen elsewhere the residents of Bolsa Grande school district are preparing to build a school house for their district. One is also to be erected at Gallatin to cost $2000. These are good signs for the country. The public schools of Anaheim commenced the new term last Monday with a full attendance. Count Bozenta and Madame Modjeska were the guests of Mrs. Langenberger during the week, and on Monday took their departure for Los Angeles en route to Monterey, where the madame will go to recuperate her shattered health. On Saturday they were the guests of Mrs. Northam at the Colonel's palatial home at La Mirada, and returned to this city on the afternoon train. A few hours after they left the Northam residence was entirely destroyed by fire. Word comes to us that the sisters at the academy would appreciate donations of fruit and melons from the farmers and horticulturists of the neighborhood, for the orphans under their care who now number upwards of a hundred. We hope the more reference to this matter will result in liberal donations to the academy before the week is over. Mrs. M. Everharty contemplates leaving for her old home in Mattoon, Ill., shortly, to reside permanently. Her daughter, Mrs. Julius Schneider, will probably join her or a short visit in the spring when, as Mrs. Everharty informs us, the remains of her deceased husband will be exhumed and transmitted east for burial. Joe Hatfield went down to Newport on Tuesday on a fishing expedition, and returned with one of the finest specimens of the finny tripe that has been seen in Anaheim for many a day. The criminal who escaped from a San Diego officer at Newport some days ago while under escort to San Quentin to serve a term of imprisonment for robbery, and who rejoices in the sobriquet of the "Christ Kid," probably spent some days in this vicinity. The kid attained his blaspheme appellation through his penchant for going out upon the streets, in the garb of a minister of the gospel, and preaching what many say, are very taking sermons to the lower classes of society. He is one of the most dangerous criminals at large, and the officers are giving him a lively finding ten cents unsecured therein. He says he will give the dime back to the larcenist if he will come up and reveal his identity and tell why he came to steal grapes in the night when he could have all he wanted for the asking in the day time. Mr. Power of the former gave an out helpfulness pointed out overdevelopments. Mr. Pointed did dent Hardin studied them and considered sympathy and aspirations opposing agriculture. The press pressed with guarding usefulness while he proper got these bodies that the city any more was absoluted.

These are good signs for the country. The public schools of Anaheim commenced the new term last Monday with a full attendance. The schooner Fanny Jane arrived at Anaheim Landing on Sunday from Soquel with 150,000 feet of lumber to Dicken, Huntington & Co. The following polling places have been designated in the election proclamation: Anaheim, at the office of S. J. Davis; Los Nietos, at the home of Bernardino Guirado; San Juan, at the school house; Santa Ana, at the house of Prudencio Yorba; San Joaquin, at the house of Nimmo; Silver Precinct, at the house of L. C. Pollard; Wilmington, at the railroad saloon. There are 19 precincts in the county. The eucalyptus, or Australian gum tree, is an Australian evergreen tree, and more nearly resembles the Australian acacia in general habitats of growth than any other tree that we can compare it to. Where such evergreens as the olive, lemon, and Australian acacia will not stand the climate, it is useless to attempt to grow the eucalyptus. The tree will do well on every sort of moist ground in California, and in favorable seasons will grow the year round. While it can stand our frosts it could not endure freezing weather.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE POWELL CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT HARDING Explains the California Co-Operative System to Him At the invitation of President Harding, G. Harold Powell, general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, Tuesday spent more than half an hour with the chief executive, discussing the aims, opportunities and difficulties of the co-operative agricultural associations of which the fruit growers' exchange is probably the most conspicuous success, said dispatchs received from Washington. While it is impossible to quote the president it can be said that he desired to obtain from Mr. Powell all of the essential points in the conception, organization and perfection of the California co-operative associations for his information and guidance in shaping the government's attitude and co-operation with the large number of associations which are being organized after the plan so successful in southern California. The president desired this information especially as the tendency of recent legislation is to encourage the government, through the war finance corporation, to assist in financing such associations not only in the foreign or export trade, but also in domestic trade. Mr. Powell arrived at the white house about 11 a.m. and was with the president until almost noon. He told of the early days of the organization, which rescued the citrus growers of southern California from a chaotic and demoralized condition, and how organization on a co-operative and conservative basis saved the industry and made it a progressive and prosperous factor in the business life of the state and nation. Mr. Powell showed the advantages the following arithmetic problems: 2x2 plus 8x8 = 2. 9. In the following problem in algebra: x equals a. Multiplying by x, x2 equals ax. Subtracting a2, x2, minus a2 equals ax minus a2. Dividing by x minus a, x plus a equals a. Explain how it is that starting with x equals a, we are able to get x plus a equals a. (A2 and x2 are used for x square and a square respectively.) 10. What is the difference between two and two and twice two? 11. Punctuate this sentence to make sense: That that is is not is not that it is. The answer is as follows: 1. A short distance from the north pole, and he would fire over the pole. 2. The earth rotates from west to east under the water, while the water is accelerated to participate in the earth's rotation. 3. At the international date line in the middle of the Pacific ocean. 4. It would not take any more pickets. 5. It would not take any more stone. 6. It would require more rails to build the fence over the hill. 7. Because of the rarefled state of the intervening heated air and gases. 8. The correct answer is 36. 9. The co-efficient of the factors is zero. Sonsequently zero plus zero equals zero. 10. On is addition, the other is multiplication. 11. That that is, is; that that is not, is not that it? It is. SAFETY FIRST It was a pleasant enough house in its way, but the daughters were not famed for their beauty, and their maturity. DISREGARD WARNING SIGNS Motorists in this section of the state are endangering the lives of men at work on highway repairs by passing warning signs, according to officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California. "Danger—Men at Work" is the sign which is to be found in the future on all highways approaching the point where laborers are busy on highway maintenance. According to auto club officials, this sign will never be placed in position unless it is an actual fact that men are at work and are in danger from careless motorists who fail to heed the facts. The signs will be turned over to the various county offices in the southern part of the state to be used by the road construction engineers wherever men are at work on the roads. Motorists are asked to remember that men are doing this work for the motorist and therefore every possible aid and consideration should be tendered them. 140-ACRE AVOCADO ORCHARD IS PLANNED That the San Joaquin Fruit company expects to plant 140 acres to avocados and that the food value of the avocado is so great that it should be given a prominent place on the menu of every home, are declaration made by C. E. Utt, of Tustin, in his talk on "Popular Raising of the Avocado" given Wednesday at the Yorba Linda farm center picnic at Orange county park. "At present the avocado is being sold at jewelry stores rather than at corner fruit stands, if cost is any means of judging," stated Utt in his plea for more growers of the fruit. "It must be made cheaper to bring it with- Mr. Powell arrived at the white house about 11 a.m. and was with the president until almost noon. He told of the early days of the organization, which rescued the citrus growers of southern California from a chaotic and demoralized condition, and how organization on a co-operative and conservative basis saved the industry and made it a progressive and prosperous factor in the business life of the state and nation. Mr. Powell showed the advantages of the form of organization adopted. gave an outline of the possibilities of helpfulness in other lines, and also pointed out some of the dangers in overdevelopment of such organizations. Mr. Powell answered a number pointed questions asked by President Harding, who showed that he has studied the subject with much care and considerable research, and indicated sympathy with the best aims and aspirations of men who are developing agricultural products. The president was particularly impressed with the necessity of safeguarding the associations so that their usefulness would not be impaired, and while he indicated a desire to have proper government assistance for these bodies there was an indication that the chief executive did not want any more government in business than was absolutely necessary. It is probable that Mr. Powell will submit for the president's information and future reference some of the concrete accomplishments of the co-operative associations of southern California with a citation of some of the mistakes that have been avoided and some of the dangers that confront these organizations in their development. QUESTIONS FOR EDISON Thomas A. Edison, the wizard of Orange, N. J., and Hudson Maxim, who is also an inventor of note, his achievements ranging all the way from smokeless powder to canned food, are engaged in a battle of wits. Following Edison's list of 145 questions, all but 6 of which were correctly answered by Maxim, the latter put out a shorter list of his own. It has not been announced whether Edison tackled them or not. Maxim's list, with answers following, is here given: 1. Where on the surface of the earth would a hunter be standing, who... "Yes I've more Time for Myself Since I Got a Fordson" The Fordson Tractor is taking much of the drudgery out of farm life; it is solving the labor problem; it is reducing the cost of preparing land by almost one half of what it was with horses; and it is saving one third to one half of the farmer's time; and making farm life more attractive. The Fordson will run your threshing machine—and at the most opportune time for you. It will operate the milking machines, saw your wood, fill your silo, pump the water, and take care of every kind of belt work— And don't forget—it will plow six to eight acres in a ten hour day, handling two plows with ease. Thus the Fordson is the ideal year-round tractor. It will pay for its fall and winter keep in many ways. There's a big story to tell you about the Fordson—and a true one—come in and get the facts. Or, if you prefer, telephone or drop us a card and we will bring them to you. GEO.
