IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of Jan. 6, 1872. The new apportionment allows California four members of congress instead of three as at present. It is probable that there will be three elected by districts and one at large. On the Republican side, Henry Edgerton is already spoken of as a candidate for member at large. The total rainfall at Anaheim this season is 5.3-4 inches thus far. Mass will be celebrated next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at the Catholic church by the Rev. Philip Farley. It is currently reported in Los Angeles that Ben C. Truman, retiring editor of the San Diego Union, will take the editorial management of the Los Angeles Star next month. (The Star is edited by Geo. W. Barter, who formerly edited the Gazette). The roads throughout the passes in the vicinity of the Santa Barbara mountains have been literally washed away. A telegraph dispatch to the stage agent here says it is probable that there will be no mail communication between here and the north for several days. The postmaster estimates that about a ton of mail matter for Anaheim is delayed somewhere between here and San Francisco. The stoppage of the mails tells seriously upon the business of the postoffice, few letters. From Gazette of Jan. 7, 1897. Newman Essick, Chester Holcomb and Otto Rust have been diligently at work upon the books at the water office, auditing the accounts, so that the usual balance sheet may be submitted to the stockholder before the annual election. Billy Berdrow informs us that he will trot out the street sprinkler today if it doesn't rain. The weather yesterday was summery. Miss Alice Kirby, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Kirby, of Peralta, and Miss Laura Roller, of Contralia, are the guests of Misses Jessie and Winifred Melrose. Mrs. Tharp, of San Francisco, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Hanna, of Miraflores. Miss Alexandra Fay, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Fay, took her departure on Saturday for Stanford university to resume her studies after spending the holiday vacation with her parents in this city. Lloyd Bailey and Billy Cooper left on Tuesday morning for a camping trip to Riverside and San Bernardino counties. They will pay a visit to Redlands before their return and will be absent until the last of the week.

A telegraph dispatch to the stage agent here says it is probable that there will be no mail communication between here and the north for several days. The postmaster estimates that about a ton of mail matter for Anaheim is delayed somewhere between here and San Francisco. The stoppage of the mails tells seriously upon the business of the postoffice, few letters except local ones being now mailed. Mr. Vale, the artist, has favored us with a beautiful view of the fine residence of Philip Davis, Esq. The public schools of Anaheim will re-open on Monday next, 8th inst. A native Californian contributes the following, from which it would appear that decadal floods have occurred during the last half century, at least, the floods of the present winter following in regular order: "A flood occurred in the year 1822, when the water covered the low lands entirely, and rose to a greater height than ever before known. Had the country been settled as now the disaster would have been very great. The next memorable flood occurred in 1832, the water not reaching the extreme height of ten years before. In 1842 there was another flood not unlike that of 1832. The pioneer settlers of California remember the flood of 1852, and it is not necessary to dwell upon the particulars. The last great flood occurred in the winter of 1862. Sacramento was submerged; dams, mills and manufactories wee carried away on the streams. Roads were destroyed, bridges disappeared and the destruction of property was very great. The winter of 1872 is supposed to complete the cycle again, promising that a flood will occur every ten years." We copy the following from a summary of notable events of 1871 in Anaheim: Jan. 1.—Everybody turned over a new leaf, swore off drinking for six months. (N. B.—They all got drunk within a week). Feb. 4.—Stage line to Wilmington established by Mitchell & Gibson. Feb. 10.—Cloudburst in foothill northeast of city. Stream of water 160 yards wide and 4 feet deep went "marching on" over the McFadden ranch. Fred's Rupp killed by Indians Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Fay, took her departure on Saturday for Stanford university to resume her studies after spending the holiday vacation with her parents in this city. Lloyd Bailey and Billy Cooper left on Tuesday morning for a camping trip to Riverside and San Bernardino counties. They will pay a visit to Redlands before their return and will be absent until the last of the week. Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Heimann and Eugene Brunner-were down from Los Angeles to spend New Years with relatives and friends here. Miss Cora Lewis, the vivacious daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Lewis, of this city, was wedded to Tom Deering at the home of her parents on Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Stone, of the Presbyterian church, officiating. To say that the hand of the bride was sought in marriage by numerous suitors is but to say what was well known among all her friends,and as the identity of the happy groom was a secret until the last moment, there were many speculations as to who the lucky young man might have the good fortune to be, and this uncertainty continued until the morning of the wedding day, when the groom arrived from Los Angeles, accompanied by his parents to claim his fair young bride. Only a few friends were present at the ceremony. The happy couple left on the north bound Santa Fe for a short honeymoon in Los Angeles before proceeding to El Paso, where they will reside in the future. O. W. Strodthoff writes from Arizona wishing us a happy and prosperous New Year. He adds that it has been "snowing terribly all day (Dec. 30), over twelve inches deep already and still coming down." Our young friend is the confidential clerk of the United Verde Copper company, of which W. A. Clark (who is at the head of the Alamitos Sugar company) is president; and in which company Henry Strodthoff has also a responsible position. Miss Matta Lincoln writes from New London, Iowa, saying she has gone over into that state from Oklahoma to visit friends for a fortnight. We expect Miss Lincoln will soon be returning to her home in Anaheim.

It is obvious tha COUNTY DIVISION The Gallatin Meeting From Gazette of Jan. 6, 1972. An adjourned meeting was held at Gallatin on Wednesday last for the purpose of receiving reports from the various committees appointed at the county division meeting at Anaheim on the 20th ult. Certain amendments were reported to the county division bill which are in substance as follows: 1st—The name of the proposed new county is changed to Orange. 2nd—The boundary is changed in this respect, that after intersecting the San Bernardino base line it follows said line east to the San Bernardino county line, the remainder of the boundaries being left the same. 3rd—The commissioners to district the new county for election purposes are: L. L. Beequit, John W. Pryor, W. R. Olden, and A. L. Bush. 4th—The county superintendent of public schools is made a separate office, instead of being connected with that of the county clerk, as heretofore and a salary of $400 per annum for the first two years attached to the office. 5th—A special judicial election is provided for, to be held at the same time as the first county election, for the election of county judge and a justice of the peace (the state constitution requiring that such officers be elected at a judicial election). 6th—The bonds of various officers are increased, viz: Sheriff to $40,000, county clerk to $20,000, treasurer to $40,000. 7th—Providing that the cost of transcribing the records of Los Angeles county for the new county of Orange shall not exceed 15 cents per folio. 8th—The commissioners charged with the duty of ascertaining the proportion of the present county indebtedness which should be assumed by people inhabiting an entirely self-sustaining empire have nothing to fear from Japan if they will only get together in an effective organization. The question is whether they will do it. If they will try they will have every assistance which the western world can give. THE PEACE DON QUIXOTES The propagandists who pretend to believe that any considerable number of people in this country are against peace and in favor of war, and that it is necessary to put up a "fight" to create sentiment in America in favor of abolishing war as a means of settling international disputes, merely succeed in making themselves preposterous. This nation has never got into war unnecessarily, and our participation in the last war in which we were involved came about under the leadership of pacifists. The difference of opinion arises not as to the undesirability of war, but as to the best means of avoiding it. The Don Quixotes who dash about fighting windmills merely clutter up the scene without contributing in the least to the settlement of the problem of world peace or disarmament. Merely being "against war" does not prevent war any more than disliking smallpox will stop smallpox, and the supposition that the public has to be argued with to keep it from favoring war is just as idiotic as the claim that a similar campaign would have to be put up to overcome the sentiment in behalf of smallpox, fomented by the nurses, doctors and vaccine makers. PUBLIC OPINION COURTED President Harding has announced that he does not intend to rush the new four-power treaty to the senate for ratification. Statesmen applaud that course, saying it is a momentous document, and there is every reason nation to do harm to its neighbors or enemies by means of chemicals or poison gas. Even though its warships were scrapped and canons and ammunition destroyed, a nation can have in its laboratories and chemical factories the means of making a terrible war with liquid fire, poison gas and deadly chemicals distributed by airplanes such as are used in ordinary commercial work. "The great war has demonstrated the existence of a vast unknown factor of which the power cannot be measured. How can nations conceive disarmament effectively when one of the important factors is unmeasurable? Nobody can now know the limits of the influence of chemistry and aviation on the future warfare." Dr. Ranc emphasizes the fact that almost any nation, were it so willed, could secretly prepare the means for a chemical war in its laboratories in peace time under the guise of peaceful activities. As an instance of the speed with which chemical manufacture can be developed, Dr. Ranc cites the manufacture of the terrific explosive yperite in France. In March, 1918, the total production in France was about 580 pounds, but seven months later the factories were producing over 1,000,000 pounds. The French scientist believes it is nearly impossible to effectively guard against any nation developing the means of chemical warfare in peace time. Dr. W. W. Adams Pure Osteopathy Office: No. 220 N. Olive St. Telephone 731-W. J.C.Osher,D.D.S.,M.D PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON 6th—The bonds of various officers are increased, viz: Sheriff to $40,000, county clerk to $20,000, treasurer to $40,000. 7th—Providing that the cost of transcribing the records of Los Angeles county for the new county of Orange shall not exceed 15 cents per folio. 8th—The commissioners charged with the duty of ascertaining the proportion of the present county indebtedness which should be assumed by the new county are J. G. Downey and A. W. Potts, of Los Angeles county, and E. H. Boyd and J. W. Clark, of Orange county. 9th—Some further provision is made in regard to the redemption of the county bonds, issued to pay our proportion of the old county debt. 10th—The county seat shall be at the city of Anaheim for the first two years, or until the next general election, when a vote shall be taken to locate the same, and in case no one place shall receive a majority of all the votes, then a second election shall be held 30 days from date of the first, at which election the two places receiving highest vote at the first election shall be re-submitted for a choice for the county seat, and the one having the highest number of votes shall be the county seat of Orange county. The report was unanimously adopted and the committee discharged. The committee for raising funds reported progress, and were continued, to report at an early day. CHINA FOR THE CHINESE The associated bandit nations which have been plundering China for a century being no longer able to agree about division of the spoils, and presumably also influenced by the new morality which looks with disfavor on national banditry, seem willing to restore their plunder, or part of it. They require, however, that if they leave China, the Chinese must themselves maintain order in their country. While they have no right to require the Chinese to maintain an effective government if they do not want one, yet it is necessary to recognize a practical situation. It is essential that an effective central government be formed. The essentials of an effective government in China or anywhere else, are that such government have absolute and exclusive control of all military and naval forces, and that within PUBLIC OPINION COURTED President Harding has announced that he does not intend to rush the new four-power treaty to the senate for ratification. Statesmen applaud that course, saying it is a momentous document, and there is every reason why the people of the country should be made thoroughly acquainted with its principles and be given opportunity to communicate their views to their senators before the vote is taken. Mr. Harding's methods, it is pointed out, are at wide variance with those of his predecessor in office. Mr. Wilson arrived in the United States with the treaty on July 8, 1919. Two days later he hurried to the senate, laid the document before that body, and urged speedy ratification. Fortunately the debate that ensued caused a delay that gave ample time to the people to make up their minds on the subject, and the final vote of rejection expressed the conviction of an overwhelming majority of our citizens. Mr. Wilson sought to get his treaty ratified without giving the people any chance whatever to express their views. Mr. Harding takes the opposite course, and intends to let the expression of public opinion on the four-power treaty before ratification is asked of the senate. SPAN OF USEFUL LIVING SHORT Further evidence that the length of life in the United States is gradually increasing is found in the report of the American engineering council, just made public in Washington. Te report states that since 1909 the duration of the average human life has been expanded five years, while lessened disability due to sickness is declared to have save millions of dollars for the wage earners. It is estimated, however, that at all times, from one cause or another, 2-400,000 people are ill, and 2 1/4 percent of the workers incapacitated. The report warns against the drawing of any sweeping conclusions as to progress made, from the figures in the council's possession. It finds little to warrant belief in any increase in general vitality. On the other hand, what improvement there has been is still to be due to a mitigation in the struggle for exist- selves maintain order in their country. While they have no right to require the Chinese to maintain an effective government if they do not want one, yet it is necessary to recognize a practical situation. It is essential that an effective central government be formed. The essentials of an effective government in China or anywhere else are that such government have absolute and exclusive control of all military and naval forces, and that within such adequate limits as the Chinese may agree on the central government, in addition to complete and exclusive control of customs duties have the power of direct taxation on all Chinese individuals. That can be done without requiring provincial governors to surrender any of their present functions and authority except the power to maintain independent armies and navies. This is the crucial point in the Chinese situation. It remains to be seen whether the Chinese can get together on them. Anything short of that will be makeshift. In regard to customs duties, the creditors of China object to releasing supervision of the mustoms revenues. Chinese officials will steal the money. There seems to be something in that. Apparently Japan clings to the principle of banditry more desperately than any others. For example, the British government seems to have quit insisting that the Chinese buy Indian opium, while, it is alleged, apparently with truth, that the Japanese government uses the postoffice which it maintains in China to ship into China all the opium which can be sold there, distributing it al lover the empire. That is one reason for demanding abolition of foreign postoffices in China. It is obvious that if 400,000,000 people It is estimated, however, that at all times, from one cause or another, 2,400,000 people are ill, and 21-4 per cent of the workers incapacitated. The report warns against the drawing of any sweeping conclusions as to progress made, from the figures in the council's possession. It finds little to warrant belief in any increase in general vitality. On the other hand, what improvement there has been is still due to a mitigation in the struggle for existence and a protection of the community from communicable diseases." In other words, science and knowledge are creating a more favorable environment for life in America. Man period of full vigor and physical freedom is still al ltoo brief. The years in which his highest mental and physical development permit him to be of greatest service to society and to himself flit quickly by. But, as the laws of healthful living come to be better understood and more generally practiced, this report indicates that the period of usefulness will be still further increased. The days of Methusaleh are past. But, without illusions, the hope can be harbored that a happier, longer life for the great majority of men is an achievement within reach of the immediate future. CHEMICALS IN WAR "The whole question of disarmament has been radically changed and rendered uncertain by the progress in the use of chemicals in warfare." Such is the opinion of Doctor Albert Ranc, an authority on chemicals and a student of the use of chemicals in war.
