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 Matters are looking livelier than heretofore in our little city. A strong force of workmen are engaged on Fischer's hotel, others are excavating for the erection of a new hotel on the corner of Center and Lemon streets, Mr. Richard Heinman is about commencing the erection of a fine new dwelling on Los Angeles street, the beautiful residence of Phil Davis is receiving the finishing touches and the elegant dwelling house of Mayor Kroeger is ready for its occupants. As far as the appreciation of travelers is concerned, a great injustice is done to most of our beautifully improved places by the dense willow hedges that completely hide them from view of passers-by. Probably not one in ten of the strangers who pass through Anaheim have any idea that the town consists of anything more than the business portion, which he can see from the principal corners, and yet there are here, hidden behind the foliage of the willow fences, homes that are graced with all the appliances that wealth and taste can supply, embosomed amid the richest of semi-tropical vegetation surrounded by shrubbery that a Shenstone might have envied, stored with all the luxuries that man can gather together unto himself here below. These thick hedges also partially shut off the sea breeze and thereby make the weather about ten degrees warmer in town than out on 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Alex Henry is the latest acquisition to the sound money ranks, having renounce his allegiance to the Chicago platform and come out in favor of McKinley. Alex is one of the old time war horses of Democracy, and the rear of his cannon has been a conspicuous feature of celebrations by that party hereabouts in the past. After Cleveland's election, Alex arose before the peep o' day and with a large lumber wagon filled with musicians and a drum corps, and the cannon, drove into town while the citizens slept, and awoke the echoes with the music and the cannon's roar ere the morning star, all on account of the Democratic victory. With him were a number of other Democratic enthusiasts, and we doubt if Bryan can rely on a single vote from out of that wagon load. Alex has been selected as one of the precinct officers for the Democratic primaries at West Anaheim on Saturday, but it is a two to one bet that he does not serve. An examination of the new great register shows, among other interesting facts, that there are 322 voters in Orange county who were born in Germany. They are distributed as follows: Anaheim, 62; Santa Ana, 63; Westminster, 29; the balance being scattered about the county. A very pleasing sight may be seen STRONG MARKET FOR Five Thousand Cars "With approximating the state's Valencian indications are fairly late market," saidager of the Oran change.

Difficulties exist among the Indians growing out of a contest for the chieftanship between the rival claimants, Olegario and Manuelito. Manuelito was appointed chief of his tribe by Col. Whiting, superintendent of Indian affairs, and has held the position since 1851. Ollegario wishes to supplant him, and has received it is said, an endorsement of his calms from several San Diego officials. A conflict resulted among the Indians, which has kept the community of San Luis Rey, Pala, Mont Serat, and as far as Warner’s ranch, in a terrible state of excitement for some time—even to families running away from their homes at nights and the sleeping on the hills—and the killing of several Indians. Col. Brown was sent with five soldiers to sustain Manuellito. He telegraphed for reinforcements and received five more men. A correspondent says that Brown is threatened with annihilation, and that the Cahuillas, under Manuel Largo, have joined Oligario, and are said to be several hundred strong. The Dieguino Indians have been invited to join them, and even as far out as the Colorado. Kroeger’s hotel is to be 50 feet on Lemon street by 60 feet on Center and will be two-stories high. The Plan is a beautiful one and the building will cost over six thousand dollars. Died in Santa Ana, at one o’clock, August 9, Elizabeth Frances, wife of R. H. Rutherford, aged 25 years. Three men were committed to the county jail by Justice Davis on Monday last. An examination of the new great register shows, among other interesting facts, that there are 322 voters in Orange county who were born in Germany. They are distributed as follows: Anaheim, 62; Santa Ana, 63; Westminster, 29; the balance being scattered about the county. A very pleasing sight may be seen out on Mr. Neff’s place, southwest of town, when that gentleman pumps water from his well for irrigation. He uses a centrifugal pump and raises a stream of 100 inches that gushes out into the ditches in a manner that is wonderful to see. The abundant water supply has worked a transformation scene in that neighborhood, and the prolific growth made by the trees on the place attest the worth of a bountiful supply of water for irrigation. Mr. Neff has irrigated upwards of 100 acres during his eleven-day run this year, and has enough water to irrigate a thousand acres if necessary. The water is raised through a seven-inch pipe and the constant pumping day after day seems to increase rather than diminish the water in the well. Walnuts, apricots, peaches, prunes, and all the deciduous fruits are grown, besides a number of varieties of berries and flowers. Trees set out last spring look like two-year-olds, while the apricots planted two years ago have the appearance of trees twice that age. Mr. Neff is thinking of skinking another well near the present one, and will then irrigate more territory. Gus Stern informs us that yesterday—Sept. 2—was Sedan day in the old country,the anniversary of the victory of the Germans over the French at Sedan. The day is enthusiastically observed in the Fatherland, but Gus took things quietly, and wondered how the election came out. Mrs. Hartung and son, Edgar, returned from the Landing Tuesday. Edgar has the thanks of the editorial household for a basket of fine clams. That’s right, Edgar, come and see us again. H. W. Ball died at his residence on West Anaheim Tuesday night at midnight, aged 72 years. He was a native of Kentucky, and had lived in this section and in San Bernardino since 1866. Died in Santa Ana, at one o'clock, August 9, Elizabeth Frances, wife of R. H. Rutherford, aged 25 years. Three men were committed to the county jail by Justice Davis on Monday last. Owing to the short notice given, the Democratic speaking here on Friday evening was not as well lattended as it otherwise would have been, but still a fair sized audience assembled at the speakers' stand. Salute were fired as is usual upon such occasions. The meeting was called to order by J. J. Johnson, Esq., of Santa Ana, who also introduced the various speakers to the assemblage. John R. McConnell, of Sacramento, first spoke. His remarks were quite lengthy and consisted principally of an elaborate review of the tariff question from the origin of that feature of government policy down through its various changes to the present time. He was followed by Judge O. Melveney, of Los Angeles, who briefly discussed the political situation as illustrated by the relations existing between the government and the people. Frank Ganahl, Esq., of Los Angeles, succeeded the judge upon the speakers' stand and made some good hits, which his audience applauded. C. E. Thom, Esq., district attorney of the county, closed the meeting by referring briefly to his participation in the measure for the incorporation of Anaheim. FARM WANTED—Wanted to hear from owner of a farm or good land for sale reasonable. L. Jones, Box 551, Olney, Ill. Mrs. Hartung and son, Edgar, returned from the Landing Tuesday.

Ball died at his residence on West Anaheim Tuesday night at midnight, aged 72 years. He was a native of Kentucky, and had lived in this section and in San Bernardino since 1866. W. W. White died at his home on Philadelphia street on Saturday afternoon, in the fifth year of his age. He has resided in Anaheim since 1886, and was held in high esteem by those who knew him. The deceased was born in Indiana in 1845, and was a veteran of the civil war. Henry Albrecht has two new contracts for new dwellings, one for Chas. Ramella and the other for Arthur Porter. New dwellings are being constantly erected in our midst, and we are on the upward grade. Mr. McKinley informs us there are yet about a hundred carloads of oranges in the county, but that orders are coming in and the eastern market is bracing up so that it is confidently expected the entire crop will be shipped out in two or three weeks, or a month at most. Orange county has a larger number of carloads of oranges on hand proportionately than any other county, as shipments from the other counties began the first of December, while from here no oranges were sent out until after the first of the year. But the crop will all be cleaned up within another month, and at satisfactory prices. The new crop is setting in good shape and gives every promise of being heavy. STRONG MARKET EXPECTED FOR LATE VALENCIAS Five Thousand Cars Yet to Ship in the State "With approximately 5000 cars of the state's Valencia crop still to move, indications are favorable for the strong late market," said L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange County Fruit exchange. "These 5000 cars, if properly distributed through the remaining shipping period, which will be until about the middle of November, should insure a steady and favorable market." Palmer for some time has been urging growers not to crowd the market, but to permit a systematic distribution of the remaining crop over the marketing period. "There is every reason to believe," said Palmer, "that we will have a strong wind-up if we are not crowded by the anxiety of the growers to clean up their remaining crop. We need a chance to handle the remainder of the crop carefully. "August and September are the heaviest deciduous months and when too many oranges come in competition with these fruits, a dragging market condition is the result. This was illustrated by the strong market of several weeks ago which was due to light shipments. This attractive market started a rush of shipments that soon hammered down the market. "Although considerable drop has been caused by the Tortrix worm, this seems to be practically over and removes a condition which has influence some growers to rush shipments. With the small quantity of fruit remaining, it would seem advisable for growers to hold back." On August 1 it was estimated that there were only about 7500 cars yet to go. Some 2500 cars have been moved for during the month. With 2500 to nevertheless, some growers who as yet have not been made converts of the bee specialist. For their benefit Pleasants calls attention to an article in the Western Honey Bee, August issue, which reads: "Mr. A. E. Lusher, of Pomona, sends us an article from the Pomona Bulletin. In which he sets forth the remarkable results obtained by cranberry growers of Massachusetts, by placing colonies of bees close to their cranberry bogs, so that they might pollenize the flowers. The first experiments made by the United Cape Cod Cranberry company, which has some 700 acres of cranberries, which they intend to increase to 2000 acres, showed such a great increase in the yield of fruit that the company has employed an expert beekeeper to increase the number of colonies as rapidly as possible. In these experiments, it was very significant that the yield of berries was greatest on that portion of the bog nearest the bees, and was thinner and thinner as the distance from the bees increased. Every cranberry grower in the Cap Cod district is now making plans to go into the bee business, not for the profit from honey, but because it is now demonstrated that the cross-fertilization of the cranberry flowers by the bees will cause a greatly increased yield of cranberries, which are grown for the market. "Fruit growers everywhere would make money by pursuing the same practice. It applies to all orchard fruits, grapes, oranges and lemons and all other fruits produced here in California. The bees are the best aids to the fruit and berry growers. In a note accompanying the clipping, Mr. Lusher points out the damage the orange growers are doing to their own industry by spraying the trees while they are in bloom with poisonous mixtures. Whole apiaries were rendered unfit for honey produc-" ANOTHER INSPECTOR NOT SOUGHT NOW That an added inspector for Orange county dairies at this time would mean an extravagant overlapping of duties, is the opinion of the directors of the dairy department of the Orange county farm bureau. At the present time Los Angeles city has two inspectors in the field who cover two-thirds of the dairies in Orange county, which dairies supply Los Angeles with milk. The other third which supply the local trade and creameries are amply inspected by state men who get around about twice a year. Besides the inspectors, who report on the grading of milk, and the general sanitary condition of the dairies, the farm bureau maintains a milk tester who operates in most of the large towns of the county. It has been suggested that the various inspectors could be consolidated into one office in order to do away with unnecessary overlapping of city, county and state inspectors. This would be the recommendation of the dairy department to the county board of supervisors. That the sum of $3000 should be saved to the county during this period of retrenchment and an effort made by the supervisors to get joint funds from the city of Los Angeles, state and county to maintain a systematic inspection service which would not overlap, is the concerted expression of the dairy interests of Orange county, according to a statement from the farm bureau office. FEDERAL AUTO LICENSES Congress will be asked by American Automobile association to pass a reciprocal licsense act for automobiles. The suggestion has something to commend it in view of the increasing dependence on autos for travel and "Although considerable drop has been caused by the Tortrix worm, this seems to be practically over and removes a condition which has influence some growers to rush shipments. With the small quantity of fruit remaining, it would seem advisable for growers to hold back." On August 1 it was estimated that there were only about 7500 cars yet to go. Some 2500 cars have been moved so far during the month. With 2500 to 8000 cars moving in September, it is believed that by October 1 there will be only 1500 to 2000 cars left. BUSY HONEY BEE IS AID TO ORCHARD J. E. Pleasants, county bee inspector, has proclaimed for many years the advantages of placing colonies of bees in the fruit orchards of Orange county. He has proven to himself and many others by practical experiments that the bees help to pollenize the fruit, and at the same time produce honey of subtle flavor. There remain. IT SEEMS PECULIAR Our elevator boy says: "Newspaper guys are funny. Whenever they meet they always ask, 'What do you know?' The other says, 'Nothing,' and then the paper the next morning is filled with news."—Portland Oregonian. FEDERAL AUTO LICENSES Congress will be asked by American Automobile association to pass a reciprocal license act for automobiles. The suggestion has something to commend it in view of the increasing dependence on autos for travel and transportation from state to state. The constitution gives congress power "to regulate commerce among the several states," and under this authority there is little doubt but that an act drafted for reciprocal licenses would hold water. Secretary Mellon has advocated an automobile tax of $10. Probably it would be better to assess it on the value of the car, and under a reciprocal licensing system the owners of the cars might be qualified on payment of the tax.
