IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From the Gazette, Dec. 23, 1871 County Division—The meeting at Enterprise hall on the 20th inst was well attended, about fifty gentlemen being present, representing the various portions of the proposed new county. Dr. J. E. Fulton was called to the chair and Chas. A. Gardner named as secretary. Some of the petitions for county division which have been in circulation, were returned with an aggregate of 600 signatures, and some half dozen others, not yet returned, will it be thought, swell the number to over a thousand. Judge Edward Every, of Anaheim, was named as the choice of the meeting for representing the interests of the movement in the state legislature. The following committees were appointed: For collecting funds to defray the expenses of the delegate to Sacramento—L. C. Pollard, John Dollan, E. H. Boyd and S. G. Reynolds, of Gallatin; W. R. Olden, of Anaheim; A. L. Bush, of Santa Ana; Richard Egan, of Capistrano; J. W. Fryer and Wm. Rubottom, of San Jose; Converse Howe, of Westminster, and Newton Dutcher, of Azusa. Committee on ways and means—W. W. Standifer, of Gallatin; W. R. Olden, of Anaheim, and Wm. H. Spurgeon, of Santa Ana. Committee to revise the bill for county division as published and make any needed amendments thereto—A. L. Bush, E. H. Boyd, Wm. Rubottom, J. W. Clark and Chas. A. Gardner The meeting adjourned to re-assemble From Gazette, December 24, 1896 Last Sunday a great rabbit hunt on the Tuffree ranch was witnessed by many visitors from home and abroad. About twenty fleet-footed grey hounds did the running. Three jacks were caught after exciting races, and several escaped by the skin of their teeth. It is exciting sport to see twenty or more horsemen and as many dogs in full pursuit with their yells and barks. They propose to try the speed of their dogs on the afternoon of Christmas day west of Anaheim. They will meet near Alex Henry's place. Wm. M. McFadden has been entertaining some friends from Brainerd, Minnesota, Mr. Newton McFadden and wife. They are cousins and had not met in 31 years. They left snow and ice behind them and are enjoying our winter weather, our flowers and our fruits. The home of Juan Bandini on the San Joaquin ranch has for several weeks been subject to unnatural noises at unusual hours, and the family began to believe that the house was the habitation of something of a ghostly order. Investigation resulted in the discovery and capture of a mammoth vampire bat, which measured six inches from point of nose to extremity of tail, and its leathery wings when expanded spanned twenty-four inches. The hat is now on arm. WILL SAVE GRACE Steel Blue Lady Will K To save the coin dollars a year directly before who are seeking scale from citrus other than family. Elimination or direct object.

Sippel, clarionet; Geo. Englehardt, baritone; Harry D'Assonville, 1st alto; John Luedke, 2nd alto. Hon. B. D. Wilson, our senator at Sacramento, has introduced a bill for "An act to prevent the capture and destruction of mocking birds in Los Angeles county," and it was referred to the committee on agriculture. The birds owe the Hon. Senator a serenade and doubtless he will get it. Wm. Dimock favors us with the following, which is a very gratifying exhibit of the growth and progress of Anaheim, showing that in spite of all drawbacks, buildings to the value of $55,000 have been erected in this city during the year just drawing to a close. Value of building of Mr. Dimock's own construction total $13,000, and the value of all other buildings, $52,000.

The Planters' hotel has an added attraction in a fine new ten foot carom billiard table, with wire spring cushions and elegantly made of beautiful California woods, at a cost of $694. We are happy to learn that the report of the closing of Mr. Mendleson's store at San Rafael, Lower California, was incorrect. Mr. Mendleson has recently erected a new store there, the opening of which was celebrated by a good ball.

Halpin returned to Anaheim on Sunday evening, after an absence of a year, during which time he visited relatives in London, England. He went with the British groups to Egypt, where he remained two months, and also visited in Paris and did a good part of the continent. The captain returns in the best of health and is delighted to get back to California. Ed Atherton was in from the ostrich farm yesterday, and reports the seventy birds on the ranch doing well and growing a fine crop of fathers. Rud Bentz and Eddie Boege went hunting one day last week and returned with a large number of birds from the marshes down by the sea. Two of the birds fell to our lot and have long since winged their flight to that home from which no stuffed duck ever returns. Thanks boys. Mike Reagan was in from the sugar factory at Alamitos on Sunday and reports everything in readiness for the brick work, the steel frame for the walls going up as rapidly as the mechanics can push the work along. The San Bernardino footballists didn't do a thing to the Santa Ana high school eleven on Thanksgiving day; the score being 22 to 0 in the format favor. WILL SAVE GROWERS BIG MONEY ANNUALLY Steel Blue Ladybird, it is Believed, Will Kill Red Scale To save the county more than a million dollars a year is the objective indirectly before horticultural experts who are seeking to eliminate the red scale from citrus orchards by means other than fumigation. Elimination of the red scale is the direct object. Elimination of fumigation is the ultimate purpose. That means, in turn, elimination of expense for fumigation and of damage to the trees caused by it. The two items each represent $600,000. Together they mean a saving of $1,200,000 annually if the experts succeed. The red scale, orchardists say, is the only remaining excuse for fumigation. Parasites have been found to disperse and destroy other citrus pests, but the red scale has so far defied all of its parasitic foes successfully. Unable in the first place to trace the red scale to its source, since it appeared in every part of the world, the scientists have herefore been folled in their research for its destroyer. Could they find the origin, they felt, they would find the natural enemy. But they could find neither. More recently, however, experiments have pointed to the steely blue ladybird beetle as a conqueror of the red scale. In Santa Barbara county, the beetles have been performing some very satisfactory work in extermination. A plan is on foot, therefore, to colonize, as it were, Orange county with the parasites. Since their activities are still more or less, in the experimental stage, they will be introduced into this county in that way. A representative of County Horti TOURNAMENT OF ROSES Announcement is made by the Tournament of Roses association that the sale of seats for the annual "East and West" football classic at Pasadena, will open on the morning of Tuesday, December 20. There will be two box offices—one in Pasadena and one in Los Angeles. The football teams to play this year are those of Washington and Jefferson, one of the three or four undefeated football teams of the Atlantic seaboard, and the University of California team. Neither team has lost a game during the season, and sport writers are a unit in stating that they expect the easterners will give the California "wonder team" a hard tussle. There are but two prices on tickets this year—$2.50 plus the war tax and $5.00 plus the war tax. The Tournament of Roses officials state that mail orders accompanied by check, money order or cash will be accepted and filled in the order of receipt and until all remaining seats are sold. There will be no further sale of seats for the new stadium until after January 1. Those holding stadium receipts will have first choice of seats for the New Years' game this time and after that the general public will be privileged to purchase the remaining seats. No individual is to be permitted to purchase more than ten tickets for the game with the exception of bona fide secretaries of Chambers of Commerce who may take orders and purchase tickets for the several communities they represent if they so desire. The box office in Pasadena will be in the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce rooms in the east building of the Hotel Green. Mail orders for seats should, however, be sent directly to the Tournament of Roses association. SHOULD NOT CANCEL DEBTS Ambassador Ricci, of Italy, now in his home country on leave of absence, has just given an interview to Italian newspapers, warning them that Europe must not expect the United States to cancel the allied debts. The text of Ambassador Ricci's statement, as issued by the Italian embassy, is as follows: "All attempts to obtain cancellation of the financial obligations made by Europe with the United States will remain a vain illusion and useless rhetoric. No American political leader could ever entertain a solution which would be entirely to the advantage of European interests unless he really meant to suppress himself and his party. "To forfeit European loans would result in a heavy burden on the United States budget, which would signify a greater and heavier taxation on the people. It would seem evident that a much more profitable attitude could be drawn by debtor nations in abstaining from proposing demands that seem impossible for any state to grant." This expression of the Italian ambassador is the only one of its kind issued by any responsible European official either in this country or in Europe. It is the first statement emanating from European circles recognizing that the United States sees no sufficient reason why it should cancel loans made during the war, and thereby add to the taxation burdens already being carried by the American public. On the other hand, there is a widespread propaganda emanating from European circles, principally from British sources, having for its purpose the creation of a sentiment in the United States for the cancellation of the debts owed this country by European nations. ments have pointed to the steely blue ladybird beetle as a conqueror of the red scale. In Santa Barbara county, the beetles have been performing some very satisfactory work in extermination. A plan is on foot, therefore, to colonize, as it were, Orange county with the parasites. Since their activities are still more or less, in the experimental stage, they will be introduced into this county in that way. A representative of Coounty Horticultural Commissioner E. L. Morris' office, co-operating with H. M. Armitage of the state insectary, at Whitler, has been seeking a plot of from 25 to 75 trees, situated at some convenient part of the county where 5000 of the steely blue ladybird beetles may be liberated and kept under observation. It would be necessary, for the purposes of the experiment, to allow the trees to go without fumigation while the parasites are at work. Inasmuch as the problem is one close to the interests of all citrus growers, no difficulty is anticipated in securing the offer of such a plot. The experiment, when conducted, will be watched with keen interest by the growers. If you expect little out of life, that's what you'll get. Kitchens' Grocery W. Center St., Anaheim Where Quality and Service Talks The Telephone Directory The Telephone Directory Good telephone service depends vitally upon care in calling telephone numbers. A wrong number called causes loss of time to you, to the party called and to the operator. Every instance means avoidable inconvenience to all concerned. It is not the loss of time to you alone or to the operator that concerns us most, but it is the annoyance to the party called. Your mistake cannot be explained to him, and the Telephone Company is held responsible for your error. Consulting the current issue of the telephone directory, instead of trusting to memory; giving your number clearly, and quickly correcting the operator if she misunderstands your call, will greatly increase the efficiency of the service.
