IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of Feb. 24, 1872 Frederick Schneider died on Tuesday last in the 43rd year of his age, after an illness of about two weeks. Last week he rallied considerably, but grew suddenly worse on Sunday and lingered in an unconscious condition until Tuesday morning, when he quietly passed away. Mr. Schneider came to Anaheim in 1862 and purchased the tract of land upon which he has since resided. He has ever taken a prominent part in every matter of public interest. He was president of the Anaheim Lighter company at the time of his death. He was also treasurer of the Anaheim Water Company, treasurer of the Anaheim fire company, and a member of Anaheim lodge, No. 199, of the I. O. O. F. His funeral was held on Wednesday at 2 p.m. from his late residence on Palm street and was attended by all the residents of Anaheim and vicinity. As the procession moved through the streets the bell on the fire company was tollled and places of business were closed. The Odd Fellows' services were performed at the grave and an eloquent eulogy pronounced by Mr. Fischel (Mr. Schneider was the father of Julius Schneider, of this city, and Mrs. J. W. Cole, of Hardscrabble). A visit from the sheriff is not always relished, but when his attachment is of a friendly and not of a professional nature he is always welcome. We refer to Wm. R. Rowland Esq., our popular sheriff elect, who From Gazette of Feb. 25, 1897 J. B. Rae has begun the erection of a two-story eight-room residence on his lot on the corner of Broadway and Philadelphia streets that promises to be a conspicuous adornment to that part of the city. The cement foundations are now being put in by C. B. Groat, and Mr. Enearl will have dcharge o f the woodwork, it bein Mr. Rae's purpose instead of building the house by contract, to do it by day's work. When his new place of abode is finished Mr. Rae will move into town with his family from his ranch at Katella and become a permanent addition to the population of our city. (This residence was recently purchased by Louis Miller and moved to the rear of his residence on Elm street. Mrs. Rea is now building a handsome modern bungalow on the same site). J. W. Clark, who resided in West Anaheim many years ago, and who has recently come into notice as having constructed the deed made by B. P. E. Kellogg to the Fairview school district, donating a three-acre lot to the district, an alleged error in which has lately come in for discussion, died at his home in Pasadena some days ago at an advanced age. Mrs. Fred Barman and Mrs. Ike Barman, of Los Angeles, who came down to attend the masquerade ball on Monday evening, are visiting with Mrs. Seegar, on Orangethorpe avenue.

Rowland Esq., our popular sheriff elect, who visited Anaheim on Saturday last and favored us with a call. Mr. Rowland was accompanied by Mr.ana Mrs. Horn and Miss Gillan, of El Monte. The land company have recently sold 120 acres to M.A. Peters, 40 to W.H.Watkins, 40 to S.D. White, 40 to C.C.Augle, 40 to Jno.M.Cumminis and 60 to W.I.Toombs. A fine little shower of rain set in about daylight Thursday morning and continued until noon. Dr. Higgins measured a quarter of an inch as the fall. The indications are good for more. The outgoing overland stage capsized yesterday morning three miles from town. Two passengers and the driver were hurt, but no bones broken. L.F. Crenshaw one of the Los Angeles rioters, was tried on Saturday last in the district court and found guilty of man-slaughter. The change of religious services to Enterprise hall has been, we think, a happy one. The seats are more comfortable, light and ventilation better, and both singing and speaking improved in sound. Rev. Webber delivered an excellent sermon on a practical subject which was attentive listened to throughout. He speaks again tomorrow at 11 a.m. and we are sure that all who attend will inwardly resolve to go oftener in the future. (Communicated). In the last two issues of the Los Angeles Star, the editor George W.Barter, thrusts himself forward as the champion of a few property owners in Anaheim, who have conspired to repeal its charter for the purpose of placing it out of the power of the people of this city to lay out and control their streets, and F.E.Kellogg to the Fairview school district, donating a three-acre lot to the district, an alleged error in which has lately come in for discussion, died at his home in Pasadena some days ago at an advanced age. Mrs. Fred Barman and Mrs. Ike Barman, of Los Angeles, who came down to attend the masquerade ball on Monday evening, are visiting with Mrs.Seegar, on Orangethorpe avenue. The Saturday afternoon club held its first meeting at the home of the Misses Melrose, on February 20th, when the time was pleasantly passed in playing progressive euchre. The first prize was won by Miss Margaree Landell and the second by Miss Mabie Curtiss. Those present were Misses Sophie Rimpau, Marie Rimpau, Alizabeth Kuchel, Dora Zeyn, Zelma Bailey, Zella Smythe, Doatrice Smythe, Lilian Robison, Rose Robison, Mabie Curtiss, Fritzile Helmann, Margaret Landell, Stella Lewis, Edith Fay-Hilda Witte, Mable Langenberger, Winifred Melrose and Jessie Melrose. The club will be entertained next at the home of the Misses Rimpau. The Ladies' Aid society of the Presbyterian church will meet this afternoon at the home of Mrs.W.T.Brown. The ladies invite their friends to attend. Madame Chevallier and her daughter Miss Alice Chevallier came down from Los Angeles on Saturday on a visit to Mr.and Mrs.Hartung. Fred Lewis is assisting Engineer Schneider at the electric power house during the illness of Engineer Des Granges. Gilbert Landell and his fair young bride have returned from their honey moon trip to Santa Monica and Santa Barbara and have taken up their residence with Mr.and Mrs.Chars.Bixby.at Buena Park. On Monday afternoon, the public schools observed Washington's birthday in the time-honored fashion of holding patriotic exercises in commemoration of the day.

In the last two issues of the Los Angeles Star, the editors George W. Barter, thrusts himself forward as the champion of a few property owners in Anaheim, who have conspired to repeal its charter for the purpose of placing it out of the power of the people of this city to lay out and control their streets, and to do many things necessary for advancing the interests of the city, which would conflict with their supposed right of encroachment. Now, whether Mr. Barter is a hired or voluntary advocate of these conspirators remains to be known. There is one thing we do know, and that is he has as editor willfully and knowingly falsified the record in the premises in this, to-wit: He has published a garbeled account of the petition and remonstrance, that is, I mean to say, he has withheld willfully and corruptly the publication of the remonstrance together with the names and character of remonstrators, numbering, as he well knows, two-thirds of the property holders and voters of this city. From what I know of Anaheim, I really suppose that a portion of these conspirators can afford to pay Mr. Barter a good round sum and throw a small slice to Mr. Ellis. I will say in conclusion that it would require something of moment to make Mr. Barter forget his old friends in Anaheim through whom he took his first start in business.—Citizen. Extra stages have been sent from Los Angeles to bring in the delayed mail matter and it is likely that we shall soon have it all here. On Monday afternoon, the public schools observed Washington's birthday in the time-honored fashion of holding patriotic exercises in commemoration of the day. The pupils of Miss Tarr's room gave an elaborate program, which reflected no little creat upon them as well as their accomplished teacher.

Prof. Keren made a few appropriate remarks at the close of the program and the concourse dispersed. There was also a program in Mrs. Horr's and Miss Kerlin's rooms. Among the names of those who took part we notice the following: Edgar Hartung, Violet Nebelung, Mable Gade, Dora Click, Maggie Pressel, Floyd Hatfield, Ray Champion and Eddie Oefinger.

This is in spite of the fact that as a result of the unemployment conference held in the latter part of 1921, hundreds of corporations are giving temporary work to men and states and cities and municipalities are doing whatever public work they can do during the winter months. It should not be lost sight of that all of this employment is merely temporary and, furthermore, few, if any, of the men thus employed are engaged in their regular trades and avocation. In so far as permanent work is concerned the army of unemployed in the United States still remains between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000. The reason of this is not hard to ascertain. It is due almost wholly to the industrial depression which exists throughout the country. This industrial depression, in turn, is due to the vast flood of imports. Those who believe increased imports of cheaply made foreign goods are largely a matter of imagination, or are conjured up by protective tariff enthusiasts, for the purpose of scaring the public, are living in a fool's paradise. Figures just issued by the United States department of commerce show that in 1921 we imported from South America goods to the value of $677,000,000, as compared with only $423,000,000 in 1913. We imported from China, Japan, the Dutch East Indies, Australia and New Zealand in 1921 goods in the value of $457,000,000, as against only $195,370,000 in 1913. With the exception of the last few months of 1921 we were technically making these complaints, and to abide by the laws of carefulness when touring from county to county. Here are the municipalities which state that undue speed is exercised by motorists, and which also say that much against their will they will be compelled to adhere strictly to the law with no leniency at all unless steps are taken by autoists to curb their recklessness: San Dimas, Pomona, La Verne, Uplands, Ontario, Rialto, Oceanside, La Mesa, Delano, Porterville and Lindsay have been given the greatest cause for complaint. Auto club officers declare that such complaints are justified and call upon auto owners to respect the law at all times—and to appreciate the generous spirit of the towns through which they pass. CALIFORNIA MAY LEAD When all is said and done—and the final returns are in—it looks as though California is going to come pretty near leading America in the number of autos owned. Officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California who have been assisting motorists to secure their license plates are of the opinion that this state has moved up at least one notch and possibly two in the automotive activity of America. At the end of 1921 California was fourth in the list, headed by New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, in the order named. It is possible that California may now be third or even second, says the auto club. More than 700,000 license plates have already been issued by the motor vehicle department, and at the end of last year the nearest competing state boasted only 744,000 automobiles. It is considered possible by local authorities that the total registration, before closing in March, may reach more than 750,000 cars. We remember the old timer who used to clink silver dollars together in his trousers pocket to indicate his affluence? If you try to be "all things to all men," you soon will be nothing to anybody.

Figures just issued by the United States department of commerce show that in 1921 we imported from South America goods to the value of $667,000,000, as compared with only $423,000,000 in 1913. We imported from China, Japan, the Dutch East Indies, Australia and New Zealand in 1921 goods in the value of $457,000,000, as against only $195,370,000 in 1913. With the exception of the last few months of 1921 we were technically a war with Germany and consequently our commercial relations were severely restricted and conducted only through intermediaries. None of the territory formerly contained in the Austro-Hungarian empire, none of the Balkan states and none of European Russia is in a position to engage in international commerce. Yet, despite the fact that all of this vast territory, which formerly sold an immense amount of goods in this country, was not doing any appreciable business with this country in 1921, our imports from Europe in 1921 were $801,000,000, which was only $85,000,000 less than we imported in 1913, when Europe was normal. The advertising columns of the metropolitan papers furnish abundant and conclusive proof of the menace increasing imports. In a recent issue of a New York paper twelve different concerns, mostly large department stores, carried advertisements of imported goods at very low prices. Still another issue of another paper carried advertisements of nine concerns laying stress upon imported goods which they had on sale at very low prices. These goods covered a wide range. It is a very striking and sad commentary upon America's industrial situation and full of menace for the future that American factories producing three lines of goods and which are being imported by large concerns and which were mentioned in the advertisements referred to, have closed down because of lack of orders, unable to compete in prices with foreign imports. The industries of America are facing the greatest crisis in their history because of the lack of protective tariff with an American valuation feature, and because of the organized opposition to such a tariff, which opposition is financed by large interests that will profit immensely by being able to import cheaply-made goods valued in debased currency. If these interests are able to prevent American valuation being made a part of a new tariff URGING RANCHERS TO JOIN THE BUREAU Pointing out that there are nearly two million farmers identified with farm bureau activities in forty-six states in the union, the Orange county farm bureau stressed the importance of this movement and urged ranchers in every section of the country to protect themselves and their holdings by active participation in the affairs of the farm bureau. "Do you know of any farmer in your section who is guaranteed a six percent return on his investment?" asks the farm bureau. "The public service corporations have that guarantee. Why? Is this equitable to you? You must pay this guarantee whenever you do business with these corporations." They got that guarantee and protection by uniting their forces and presenting their cause before the legislative bodies of our government. "It is apparent that we who earn our living by the things we grow from the soil must also unite our forces in order to receive adequate returns on our investments." "You have long wanted to see our farmers acting and speaking together." The industries of America are facing the greatest crisis in their history because of the lack of protective tariff with an American valuation feature, and because of the organized opposition to such a tariff, which opposition is financed by large interests that will profit immensely by being able to import cheaply-made goods valued in debased currency. If these interests are able to prevent American valuation being made a part of a new tariff law, they will have brought ruin to hundreds of American industries and idleness to millions of American working men. A GENERAL REQUEST FOR GREATER CARE Motorists of this section are getting so careless in speeding through various towns that a general request for greater care has been issued through the Automobile Club of Southern California. A general tightening up of speed regulations throughout the state is threatened by municipal authorities unless autoists exercise greater care when touring, according to club officials. Certain leniency is practiced by the majority of smaller municipalities allowing a greater speed to motorists than that provided by the state motor vehicle act, which regulates all questions of speed but this leniency is to be revoked unless the motorists themselves learn to mind their step. Particular complaints of speeding and reckless driving by visiting motorists, or motorists passing through, have been registered by communities in practically every southern county. Auto club officials request all motorists to check over the list of towns guarantee whenever you do business with these corporations. They got that guarantee and protection by uniting their forces and presenting their cause before the legislative bodies of our government. "It is apparent that we who earn our living by the things we grow from the soil must also unite our forces in order to receive adequate returns on our investments." "You have long wanted to see our farmers acting and speaking together on the great problems that confront them today. You have long wanted to get into an organization that is nation-wide in its scope and influence—a mammoth organization that does not forget the problems of the local farmer." "The farm bureau offers you that opportunity. It co-operates with other farmers' organizations to better the economic conditions of the man on the farm. You owe it to yourself to be a part of this great organization, with nearly two million farmers in the farm bureau in forty-six states in the union and over 15,000 community organizations all working for the welfare of our industry." THE WRONG FOOT From a telegram recently received by the district superintendent of an Indian railway from a Babu stationmaster: "Coming on duty early in the morning clad in my new and white uniform I perceived a man seated on a box in a naked and aggressive manner. Taking him to be an ordinary passenger, I proceeded to slap him, whereupon he hastily arose, unlocked the said box, clad himself in a policeman's uniform thereoue and arrested me. The shoe is thus situated on the erroneous pedicle. Please arrange." ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS COLLEGE Santa Ana, California Enrollments now active for our rail term.
