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 Quite a lengthy ordinance (No. 19) was passed by the common council last Saturday.

She stands the drouth amazingly well, tucked away under the shade of her broad sycamores. And the constant turning of cranks and hauling of reapers well for water if there be any between there and Constantinople. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Joe Backs has decided to learn the implement business and has accepted a position with Lutz & Co.

And the constant turning of cranks and hauling of ropes augers well for water if there be any between there and Constantinople. Spurgeon seems to like the fun. He and Mr. Bemis have nothing to do but turn the crank, lift the beam and the like, while the boys who sit on the lever do all the heavy work. This peaceful hamlet (Tustin) is progressing steadily. New but modest cottages are springing up and arranging themselves in beautiful irregularity among the trees. Here at the school house the R. S. J. union musical society meet every Saturday evening for practice and enjoyment. The new settlement of Riverside on the Santa Ana river 12 miles southwest of San Bernardino, contains, according to the Guardian, 38 families and 17 unmarried men, all of whom have lands selected and are preparing to put in crops this fall.

Miss Zelma Bailey went to Los Angeles on Monday to attend the Yaw concert. John Hartung has had quite a bit of sickness in his family of late.

The manufacturer of this article has proven very profitable to the Alvarado company and would doubtless make a most successful business here. Whenever capitalists chose to invest money enough to put up the machinery. The cost of starting the refinery at Alvarado was, we believe, about $150,000. Railroad projects are being broached all around us, and it is probable in view of the great need for such improvements to develop our vast agricultural resources that some plan will be submitted to the next legislature for a general system of railroad building throughout the southern counties. Los Angeles county will be foremost in these plans, and Anaheim occupying as she does, the position of a business center for all the southern part of this large county, with her present recognized importance and her hopes of still greater consequence in the future, should not be behindhand in putting in her claims for consideration in these calculations. We suggest a public meeting be held at Anaheim on Saturday, the 18th inst., at noon and that citizens of the Santa Ana country, Monte, San Gabriel, San Jose, Gallatin, Compton and Wilmington be invited to send two delegates each to such meeting and thus profit by that multitude of counsels in which there is wisdom—A. Langenberger, Edward Eray, John W. Clark, John Fischer, Phil Davis, Richard Helmann, M. Callisher. The new band instruments arrived on Monday and were placed on display at Dickel's establishment.

"Whereas, the city of Anaheim having received a full set of band instruments through the generosity and active efforts of Mr. John Hartung in soliciting subscriptions for same, alded by public spirited citizens of the community and the instruments having been placed in the custody of the board for the use of the Anahelm band, now, therefore, be it resolved, that the thanks of this board be extended to the said John Hartung and the public spirited citizens contributing to the fund and that the instruments be accepted on behalf of the municipality.

SAVE STATE FROM BIG CITIES The conference on legislative reaportionment, held in Sacremento last Friday, was a harmonious gathering. It resulted in a unanimous decision to than 10,000 each, the result in their case would be the grouping of such counties to form new senatorial districts, the total number of senatorial districts being restricted by the amendment to forty-five. It has been proposed to allow each county a senator. But, in view of the scanty population of a considerable number of them, it was concluded, that the vote of the large cities would be too strong against such representation to permit its adoption. There are, for example, two counties—Alpine and Mono—that have less than 1000 inhabitants each, and a number of counties that have but a few thousand each. The object of the proposed constitutional amendment is to prevent the great centers of population in California, such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland, from gaining control of the legislature, as they surely would if reapportionment of senatorial districts were made solely on the basis of the federal census of 1920. That consequence would be a danger to the best interests of the state, especially to the smaller towns and cities and the country districts in general. But it is not proposed to change the basis of representation of assembly districts according to population, a concession designed to help adoption of the amendment at the polls and also to make the amendment harmonize as a whole with popular representation in the United States Senate on a geographical basis; that is to say, by states. Altogether, this new plan of senatorial representation in California is fair and just to all concerned, despite the hostile attitude Los Angeles has taken in the matter. But that city and Los Angeles county lack the support of the smaller communities of southern California in this regard, and of its less populous counties. So there seems to be a good prospect of state adoption of the new plan. WOMEN AS BUYERS Women are better buyers than men. They are better judges of goods, as a rule; they pay more attention to current prices and they are more interested in saving money. But, above all, they read the advertisements—and no one can be efficient in shopping who does not read the advertisements. "While the men are reading baseball or politics," says one paper, "the women are after the store news. They examine it thoroughly and any announcement of special values, bargain sales, odd lots, closing-out sales, is studied word for word. After a woman has looked over the newspaper and starts down town on a shopping expedition she knows pretty nearly what she wants. She has a pretty definite tour mapped out, knows where she wants to go, what she is after and what it is going to cost her and the result is the family pocketbook goes a long way in the hands of a prudent and business-like woman." And still the paragraphers persist in making fun of the woman who seeks bargains or gibes because of her alleged profligacy in hats. The truth is, the money wasted about a home is generally wasted by the man, not by the woman. Women spend 75 per cent of the family income—and spend it judiciously, says Dayton News. Their importance as purchasers has never been properly valued. If it had been there would be fewer advertisements written for men and more for women.

The contract for the improvement of Hiatt street in the third road district was awarded to George R. Curtis for $25,029.86. SAVE STATE FROM BIG CITIES The conference on legislative reaportionment, held in Sacremento last Friday, was a harmonious gathering. It resulted in a unanimous decision to submit to the people, at the general election next year, an initiative amendment to the state constitution changing the present basis of apportionment. The constitution now provides that there shall be forty senatorial and eighty assembly districts, "as nearly equal in population as may be," on the basis of the federal census. The proposed amendment provides that there shall be one senator from each county, and no more, save that no senatorial district shall be created with less than 10,000 inhabitants. As there are seventeen counties with lessAltogether, this new plan of senatorial representation in California is fair and just to all concerned, despite the hostile attitude Los Angeles has taken in the matter. But that city and Los Angeles county lack the support of the smaller communities of southern California in this regard, and of its less populous counties. So there seems to be a good prospect of state adoption of the new plan by popular vote. A further conference is to take place at Fresno before long, representative of all parts of the state, at which the proposed amendment will be further considered. But it appears highly probable that the proposal will be fully approved, and that satisfactory arrangements will be made for its proper submission to the voters next year. You never saw a man with a smile on his lips beating a rug or paying taxes. TIMES ARE CHANGED Standing in the aisle of a crowded street car two colored youths engaged in conversation.
