IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper (From the Gazette, Dec. 9, 1871) Mr. and Mrs. Richard Heimann returned from their wedding trip on Sunday last and were serenaded in the evening by the Anaheim band. We are indebted to our skillful photographer, M. Watrous, for a neat cabinet photograph of the members of the Anaheim band. It is worthy of preservation as a part of our local history. What would eastern people say to new potatoes, green corn and green beans, planted in September and ready for cooking Thanksgiving day? And yet we have just fared sumptuously on all these things raised in the garden of John W. Clark, Esq. Come on you hungry people. Fifty-five tons of freight were discharged at the Anaheim Landing by Str. California. At the November meeting of the Anaheim fire company, a committee consisting of John Fischer, Fred Langenberger and Richard Melrose was appointed to draft a petition to the county board of supervisors asking an appropriation in aid of the Anaheim fire department. The committee presented a petition and their efforts have been rewarded by an appropriation of $200, which was granted on Wednesday. An appropriation of $2000 was also made at the time for the Los Angeles fire department. (From the Gazette, Dec. 10, 1896). The Odd Fellows at their meeting on Tuesday evening elected officers for the ensuing term of six months as follows: R. Melrose, N. G.; C. E. Foreman, V. G.; A. M. Williams, secretary; J. P. Zeyn, treasurer; Oliver Hill, trustee. As we go to press we hear the voice of Frank Ey talking politics to a man on the sidewalk in front of this office. Ah, there, Frank! Miss Stanton, of Los Angeles, is a guest of the Misses Higgins. Miss Hilda Witte has taken a position at Oscar Luedke's jewelry establishment and toy shop. Judge Landell has had his beard trimmed a la Boulanger and with the application of a little whisker dye might easily be mistaken for the Prince of Wales. The hardware establishment of Miller and Nagle was burglarized some time Thursday night and $150 worth of pocket knives and razors were stolen. The burglars effected an entrance through the rear door, which was pried open with a chisel and other articles stolen from Nick Hugo's blacksmith shop on Wednesday night. The burglar must have been frightened away, as much valuable silverware in an adjoining show case remained uninjected.

The burglars effected an entrance through the rear door, which was pried open with a chisel and other articles stolen from Nick Hugo's blacksmith shop on Wednesday night. The burglar must have been frightened away, as much valuable silverware in an adjoining show case remained untouched. Seale's grocery store was burglarized during the same night. An entrance being effected in a similar manner through a rear door and the same tools were used in each case. Two cans of oysters and a lot of cany were stolen, the money drawers were wrenched from their fastenings and the store left in a generally disordered condition. Mrs. Watson and her charming daughter, Miss Lilly, formerly of Jerome, Arizona, but now of Los Angeles, spent several days last week with Mrs. Strodthoff. The ladies are acquaintances of Henry and Otto Strodthoff, who are located at Jerome, and report them to be as popular in that city as they were in Anaheim. Impressario Hatfield informs us that the Shaw company which is now in Santa Ana will not come to Anaheim this year. Several carloads of very fine oranges have been shipped from the Leffingwell orchard at Placentia. Yesterday the force of packers was transferred to Mr. Cargill's fine orchard at Brookahurst and several carloads will be sent east for the holiday trade. In each case the oranges fetch top notch prices. Fred Hartung, purchaser of $13,000 of the new issue of the city's municipal bonds, was down from Los Angeles on Saturday. He reports the Parkhurst society holding the boards in the Angelic burg. No man can have any fun in Los Angeles without being a member of this society. M. L. Rogers suggests the propriety of beginning a sentiment among the citizens in favor of the long delayed annual dinner of the Chamber of Commerce, and considers that the time for it ought to be about the time of the return of the excursion of citizens to Anaheim fire company, a committee consisting of John Fischer, Fred Langenberger and Richard Melrose was appointed to draft a petition to the county board of supervisors asking an appropriation in aid of the Anaheim fire department.

A very fine affair will be the grand ball tonight at the Planters hotel. Mr. Fischer has made extensive arrangements for the accommodation and enjoyment of all. A "soft" here may mean a hard hereafter. M. L. Rogers suggests the propriety of beginning a sentiment among the citizens in favor of the long delayed annual dinner of the Chamber of Commerce, and considers that the time for it ought to be about the time of the return of the excursion of citizens to the Alamitos sugar factory, which Mr. Boschke has kindly tendered our people, and which it is expected will occur probably on Tuesday of next week. The Chamber of Commerce has been in a condition of indoucious desuetude for many moons past, but whether the dinner be merged into the jollification of the excursion, by all means let us have it any way. What's a Chamber of Commerce for, if it isn't for an annual dinner once in a while? While Rudolph Bentz, Albert Heffner and Billy Renner were walking upon the sidewalk opposite the Bents Bros.' butcher shop at 9:45 Tuesday evening, they heard a man at the cash drawer in the butcher shop across the way, the alarm bell ringing out in response to the attempts to pull out the drawer. Running hastily across the street, the boys entered the shop as quickly as possible, Rudolph unlocking the front door, and the others jumping over the fence and running around to the rear. They were not quick enough to capture the intruders, being just in time to hear the retreating footsteps of a couple of burglars, who heard them coming and beat a basty retreat. An investigation showed that they had made away with a quantity of sausage hung in a rear room of the market. SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS Demands on the county of Orange were allowed as read. An appropriation of $1500 payable out of the advertising fund was made for the Valencia orange show at Anaheim. The franchise applied for by the Wilshire Oil company was sold to said company for the sum of $100, conditioned upon said company executing a bond in the sum of $1000. Ordinance granting the said franchise to be adopted December 6. Bids were opened for the improvement of Garden Grove avenue, section one, second road district. All bids were rejected with the exception of bids of W. O. Potter and E. S. Bruce, which were taken under advisement until December 6. Bids were opened for the county jail. All bids on the general contract were rejected with the exception of Frank Hudson's bid and Edward C. English. Bids for plumbing and steam heating were rejected with the exception of the bid of S. Hill & Son. Bids for elevators were rejected with the exception of the bid of the Burnett Manufacturing company, and Van Emon Elevator company. All bids not rejected were taken under advisement until December 6, at 10 a.m. Bids on cell work were all taken under advisement until December 6, at 10 a.m. Map tract No. 182 was accepted as official plotting of said tract. The chairman was authorized to approve the bond on the contract for grading and oiling streets in the McPherson addition to La Habra, as per map tract No. 182. The county auditor was directed to transfer $272.25 from the county general fund to the fifth road district fund. Said transfer being for the expenses incurred in the maintenance of the Trabuco canyon road U. S. forest reserve, during the period of April 19-June 2. acres with a frontage of 48 miles on navigable water, and 24 miles by boat from Juneau and 900 miles from Seattle. Fourths of the timber is western hemlock and one-fifth Sitka spruce, both of which make excellent grades of paper, as has been demonstrated by the mills of Oregon and British Columbia. The sale period will be thirty years, and a large plant will be required to utilize all the timber within that time. The sales contract requires that a pulp manufacturing plant of not less than 100 tons daily capacity shall be established in Alaska by the purchaser within three years. This section of Alaska has many unappropriated power sites of suitable capacity for large pulp and paper plants. The need of developing our pulp industry is emphasized by forestry experts who point out that although prior to 1909 all the paper consumed in this country was manufactured here, in 1920 two-thirds of the newsprint used in the United States was made from timber grown on foreign soil. Reduced to dollars and cents this represents an annual payment of $191,000-000 for pulp wood, wood pulp and paper which this country has been obliged to import due to lack of raw material available to existing pulp mills. A partial solution of this problem, state foresters, lies in establishing pulp mills in Alaska, where there is now a large supply of spruce and hemlock, and where wood can be grown at a rate sufficient to furnish indefinitely one-third of the present American newsprint requirements. GROWTH OF PARCEL POST With the season approaching when thousands of Christmas packages will find their way from shops to homes and from homes to the postoffice, thence to go out to every part of the city anything could be sent by mail played a big part in the latter figures. In order to prevent any delay to other classes of mail, such as letters, it has been suggested, says the paper named, that parcel post be handled separately from other classes of mail in the congested cities and on certain congested transportation routes. This involves great expenditure of money for buildings and equipment, and with the great burden of debt on the government, which must be considered, the solution of this particular problem becomes doubly difficult. It is being approached, however, from every angle, and it is proposed as rapidly as possible to meet these conditions without too great a tax on the public treasury. EXTERMINATE THE WEEDS Why do cities and towns which have arisen and swatted the fly until that omnipresent pest is actually reduced in numbers still submit tamely to the weed nuisance, when it is so much easier to get rid of weeds? In spite of campaigns for civic beauty, gardening and general improvement, there is hardly a town to be found without weeds here and there, growing rank along the sidewalks, flourishing in the vacant lots and carrying on their ceaseless propaganda to nullify the efforts of every citizen who plants or improves. Aside from their unsightly appearance, unchecked weed growths, drying in the late summer weather, constitute a fire menace of no small degree. They provide unlimited garage space which all sorts of insect pests find handy for laying up their cars for the winter. They contribute to the ill-health and discomfort of the community, holding germ-laden dust for the first breezes to carry along. They etimulate, and probably cause directly, hay fever and allied lilies. The chairman was authorized to approve the bond on the contract for grading and oiling streets in the McPherson addition to La Habra, as per map tract No. 182. The county auditor was directed to transfer $272.25 from the county general fund to the fifth road district fund. Said transfer being for the expenses incurred in the maintenance of the Trabuco canyon road U. S. forest reserve, during the period of April 19 June 2. Ordinance No. 189, creating the offices of assistant health inspector, dairy inspector and county nurse, and consolidating said offices, and prescribing the duties and fixing the salaries thereof, was regularly passed and adopted by the board of supervisors. ALASKAN PULPWOOD Two billion feet of Alaskan pulpwood, the largest amount of national forest timber ever offered for sale, is described in a prospectus recently issued by the forest service, United States department of agriculture. The timber is within the Tongass national forest, on the west side of Admiralty Island, and covers about 90,000 hectares. GROWTH OF PARCEL POST With the season approaching when thousands of Christmas packages will find their way from shops to homes and from homes to the postoffice, thence to go out to every part of the world, the parcel post and its tremendous growth in eight years becomes an interesting topic. The popularity of the parcel post was instantaneous, and each individual realizes that he or she sends a great many more packages than was the case before the country had this cheap express facility. Few, however, can realize without the figures quite how great has been the growth of this greatest express service in the world. Since its establishment in 1913, when it carried 332,000,000 packages, it has climbed to the enormous business of handling 2,500,000,000 in 1921, according to the Nation's Business. Not only did the low price for sending parcels increase Uncle Sam's big business of serving the people; the fact that near- "Trouble" Behind your telephone service is the "plant"—a complicated mechanical equipment of poles, cables, wires, switchboards, instruments, etc., carefully adjusted and absolutely depend- "Trouble" Behind your telephone service is the "plant" —a complicated mechanical equipment of poles, cables, wires, switchboards, instruments, etc., carefully adjusted and absolutely dependent on perfect construction and maintenance. The "plant" is constantly subject to accident and outside interference. Storms, fires, the carelessness of workmen, the pranks of children, concealed defects of material—all play their part.
