IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of Jan. 20, 1872. Anaheim lodge, I. O. O. F., will be instituted at the Masonic hall, Anaheim, on Tuesday evening next, by M. W. O. M., W. H. Hill, assisted by Dep. G. M., H. Wartenberg, and others. The Institution of an Odd Fellows' lodge among us is a most auspicious event, and one that marks an important era in our upward growth. A northeaster sprang up early yesterday morning at San Pedro, and made considerable havoc with the steamer Los Angeles, blowing her smoke stack down and sending her into Wilmington channel at a fearful rate. The schooner Page had to slip her anchor, and put to sea without her full complement of men. As will be noticed elsewhere, the Anaheim Water company have levied an assessment of 50 cents per share on their capital stock. A violent storm of wind of the "Santa Ana" species occurred on Wednesday last. Fortunately there was but little dust to be raised. Many parties are now buying land in the immediate vicinity of Anaheim. A. J. Brown and T. J. Swayne have just purchased of the land company, a tract of 85 acres in the southern part of the city. We are pleased to see these gentlemen thus permanently locating themselves with us and identifying their interests with our future prosperity. From Gazette of Jan. 21, 1897. Fritz Ruhman and bride have returned from their honeymoon trip to Los Angeles and are now at their residence on Los Angeles street. The happy couple have been the recipients of congratulations on all sides. The northeast wind prevailed for several days during the early part of the week. Blowing directly from the snow-crested mountains, it has been laden with more chill than usual, and overcoats, wraps and warm stoves have been luxuries. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the street car company will occur on the 36th inst., when a new board of directors will be elected to serve for the ensuing year. A delegation of the city fathers composed of Mayor Rust and Trustees Lewis, Groat and Conrad, went to Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, on invitation of Mr. Scribner, of the Westinghouse electric light works to witness the working of some electrical machinery lately put in operation in the Angelic burg. Don Juan de la Guerra, mayor of Yorba city, was in town yesterday on a short visit. W. J. Cole was in from Hardscrabble yesterday driving a gorgeous new yellow and black painted wagon. Times must be good out his way. ASK FEDERAL SERVICE OF SALE Reforestation Coordination Plan for Comprehensive Retention of the Interests Official to Make a Age Area of the San Francisco Bay Area This resolution, headed by Head of Santa Ana posed surveys for age reservoirs, dam runoff waters and conservation features. The Riverside district tendered to the readiness by Samuel Arnold which Armor set for ages, as he sees the permanent dam across the Santa Ana plan printed in full of this paper, is on the suggestion of Cory Be constructed new conservation of flood areas. An amendment theretoferred by Head was Dauchy wherein it so ordered, that who or contemplated it would not in any flood control plan by the reforestation the counties interest.

The streets are crowded with teams, the merchants are busy, and farmers are buying all the seed and agricultural tools to be had. Another store has just been opened and still another will commence operations soon. A new restaurant will be opened before long, and it is expected that a furniture factory and store will soon be built on Los Angeles street. The elegant new Anaheim hotel, more fully noticed heretofore will be opened next Saturday by Mr. Bremmerman, and will make additional accommodation for the wants of travellers. The vineyards have nearly all been pruned and look trim and neat. Fields of grape are gradually spreading over all of the plain outside of the city-looking green, mright and cheerful.

Cole was in from Hardscrabble yesterday driving a gorgeous new yellow and black painted wagon. Times must be good out his way. Henry G. Duerfeldt, of HelenaMont., is in town accompanied by his father, guests of Mr. Kistler. Mr. Duerfeldt is recovering from a bad attack of fever, and comes to Anaheim to recuperate his health. W. F. Lutz & Co., Santa Ana's implement men, will open up a stock of wagons and buggies and implements in the Ruhman building on Los Angeles street. Their sign is up and yesterday the first installment of their goods were being unpacked. The supervisors on Monday appointed R. P. Marquez of Yorba, and Alex Wright to be justices of the peace for the new township of Fullerton, and A. A. Pendergrast was appointed constable. Application for the office of justice had been received, in addition to those of the successful candidates, from Rev. Holcomb, E. R. Amerige and Edgar Johnson. Quite a number of citizens assembled at the city hall on Monday evening for the purpose of reorganizing the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. W. J. Fay was called to the chair and Max Nebelung acted as secretary. C. S. Rogers moved that a committee of three be appointed to revise the old by-laws. The motion was carried and the chair appointed Messrs. C. S. Rogers, H. Cahen and Herman Dickel as such committee. The committee was also given power to name nine or more citizens from which a board of directors is to be selected and to report at the next meeting. A great deal of interest was taken in the reorganization of the chamber, and indications point to a rattling of dry bones, tending to make the organization an important factor in the upbuilding of the community. Mr. Rogers addressed the meeting, arguing that the city should have an active Chamber of Commerce to consist exclusively of citizens of this city who would labor in the interests of every project looking to the good of the community.

Many pieces of land are being sold every week to actual settlers and the population is steadily increasing. A bright and prosperous future is before Anaheim, and she will doubtless make more rapid and permanent improvement in the next two years than any other town in the state. Deeds filed—Alfred Robinson, trustee, to Christian Rorden, 60 acres in the San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana Rancho, for $600; Alfred Robinson, trustee to John Fischer, 115 acres in the San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana Rancho, for $1000; Alfred Robinson, trustee to Henry Burdorff, 100 acres in the San Juan Cajon de Santa Ana Rancho, for $1000.

CURIOUS Very unique f staircase in the west museum, a lar staircases ar where, as in th e and the tower o City of Mexico, b fore the age of ed from above, semblance to the ASK FEDERAL SURVEY OF SANTA ANA RIVER Reforestation Committee Reaches Plan for Control of River One of the most important steps taken by the conference of the tri-counties reforestation committee at Riverside Thursday, was the adoption of a resolution requesting the secretary of the interior to appoint an official to make a study of the drainage area of the Santa Ana river. This resolution, introduced by H. C. Head, of Santa Ana, also included proposed surveys for the location of storage reservoirs, dams for checking of runoff waters and other flood and conservation features. The Riverside conference also listened to the reading of a communiation by Samuel Armor, of Orange, in which Armor set forth the disadvantages, as he sees them, of building a permanent dam of any great height across the Santa Ana river. Armor's plan printed in full on another page of this paper, is directly opposed to the suggestion of C. E. Utt that a dam be constructed near Prado for the conservation of flood waters. An amendment to the resolution offered by Head was submitted by W. E. Dauchy wherein it was explained, and so ordered, that whatever action taken or contemplated by the government would not in any way interfere with flood control plans already outlined by the reforestation committee or the counties interested. Copies of the resolution will be forwarded to all supervisorial bodies in the three counties interested, civic and other organizations in many sections with the suggestion that pressure be brought to bear at Washington in an effort to put over the issue in an effective manner. Supervisor J. A. Packard, of Riverside, declared that he favored the resolution. He also went into detail as to the district plan ideas intimat- Copies of the resolution will be forwarded to all supervisorial bodies in the three counties interested, civil and other organizations in many sections with the suggestion that pressure be brought to bear at Washington in an effort to put over the issue in an effective manner. Supervisor J. A. Packard, of Riverside, declared that he favored the resolution. He also went into detail as to the district plan ideas intimating that district programs in some instances are extravagant and not efficient. It was the opinion of Packard that if the government took hold that Uncle Sam should make a thorough and comprehensive survey as to flood control possibilities. Albert Braunschweiger, Riverside, expressed the belief that to get an engineer acquainted with local conditions from the government would be rather hard. He favored the plan as outlined in the resolution, declaring that it was a good one, but he was not certain as to how it would work out. W. G. Mason, Orange county, urged an impartial survey of the situation and that following this the three counties could adopt the best features available. He was largely in favor of immediate action as to flood control in order to clarify the situation. He suggested that Congressman Phil Swing would be the man to start the wheels working at Washington. Engineer G. W. Sherwood, of Fullerton, thought it would be a good plan to have the county engineers interested work out a plan of procedure under Engineer Reagan, of Los Angeles. The first thing to do, he said, would be to learn something definite in the way of controlling the Santa Ana. This, according to his opinion, should be easy. Then a right-of-way for the stream should be sought and that money set aside in a fund already established could be utilized for this purpose. The route should be straightened somewhat with easy curves assured for the flow of water, he said. Federal aid as to survey was urged also by J. W. Newell, Fullerton. Newell told of an inspection made of the Hetch Hetchy program some time ago. S. H. Finley, Santa Ana, indicated that while the government was engaged in its survey of the Santa Ana that a complete report on reforestation could be made and that probably some time later, if the program goes Mexico. The stairway contains 160 steps with seven-and-a-half-inch rise each, and was built around a galvanized iron form in the shape of a pipe, while wooden forms were placed for the stairs. Material was prepared at a special rock crushing and sand plant located about 1 mile from the building, in a dry river bed. TERMINAL FREIGHT RATES BENEFIT INTERIOR POINTS If the interstate commerce commission denies the railroads the right to make transcontinental rates meeting water competition, coast shippers will suffer and so eventually will those in the interior through increased rates is the statement made by G. W. Luce, freight traffic manager for the Southern Pacific company in an address last week in San Francisco before the Pacific Freight Traffic association. Luce also touched on the inroads made in railroad business by motor trucks and auto buses using free roadbeds or "tracks," built and maintained by the public. Luce pointed out that the Southern Pacific lines with the other carriers have made application to the interstate commerce commission for permission to make rates to meet water competition between Atlantic and Pacific points, and that shippers in interior towns and cities have asserted that they will be compelled to pay higher rates than terminal points if the interstate commerce commission grants the application of the carriers. "This statement, taken by itself, may be true," said Luce, "but the freight rates which interior communities will be required to pay will be higher than they are today or ever before if the carriers are denied the privilege of making rates fairly meeting canal rates. If the water service between the Atlantic seaboard and the Pacific coast continues to increase and the transcontinental lines are prohibited from meeting the water rates, unless they make the same or lower rates to interior points (which they cannot afford to do unless water rates are sufficiently high) the traffic will move by water, and if the railroads must forego the revenue on that traffic, it is quite evident they must increase the rates sufficiently on the only remaining traffic, which is that of the interior, to earn the necessary money to pay their bills." WORD OF WARNING straightened somewhat with easy curves assured for the flow of water, he said. Federal aid as to survey was urged also by J. W. Newell, Fullerton. Newell told of an inspection made of the Hetch Hetchy program some time ago. S. H. Finley, Santa Ana, indicated that while the government was engaged in its survey of the Santa Ana that a complete report on reforestation could be made and that probably some time later, if the program goes through, that he government might join in the expense involved, and the state might also aid somewhat. Due to the forced absence of Chairman Francis Cuttle, due to illness, George A. Atwood, of San Bernardino, presided as chairman. Mr. Atwood read a communication from Cuttle wherein the Riverside man suggested for consideration the consolidation of the tri-counties committee and the water conservation association under the name of the latter, and an increase in the number of directors of the latter association to about seven from each county so that all parties interested in its work would be represented. Although considerable discussion ensued on this point the matter was ordered laid over until a later date. CURIOUS STAIRCASE Very unique is the spiral concrete staircase in the tower of the Southwest museum, at Los Angeles. Similar staircases are to be found elsewhere, as in the tower of St. Paul's and the tower of the cathedral in the City of Mexico, but they were built before the age of concrete. When viewed from above, it bears a close resemblance to the shell of a snail. WORD OF WARNING In the rush of getting your state licenses for the new year, Mr. Motorist, don't forget to place them correctly on your car! This final word of warning, before the big rush begins, was just sent out by the touring bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Many motorists place their new license plates in an unlawful manner on their cars, and the state department is going to make many arrests for this offense during the coming year, according to advises received by auto club officials. See that your license plates are not obscured by bumpers, from or rear, when you place them. Be sure, warns the club that the tall-light is in such a position that it illuminates the rear plate at night. Keep your plates clean and avoid driving with them in a smashed or obliterated condition because you will be pinched if you do. Aid in following the mandates of the law will be given you by the club experts when you apply for license application and receive the plates. Prices are coming down, but we haven't yet got rid of excess political prophets. women: No man restaurant, whether for a sandwich or a mental reservation kind he can get ing for a mild windealers.
