IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper Gazette of March 2, 1872. A discourse will be delivered tomorrow at 11 a.m. by Rev. J. Marquis. Subject, "Agency of the Church in Promoting the Happiness of Man." Any one desiring to engage in a well established business can do so on very favorable terms by applying to Antonio Romo, who offers to sell a half interest in the French restaurant. M. Calisher & Co. have added a new and elegant sign to their already good looking store. Work has been entirely suspended on the break water at Wilmington for some time past, but will probably soon be resumed. We understand that negotiations for its building are now pending at San Francisco. Firemen! Remember the meeting next Monday evening. A new treasurer is to be elected. Our Santa Ana friends are blessed with the best store that any small town was ever favored with. They ought to consider it a privilege to have the opportunity of dealing with so whole-souled and competent a business man as Mr. Spurgeon is. The enterprise he has shown at Santa Ana deserves the warmest encouragement of his neighbors, and doubtless he gets it. The school at Tustin grows, 32 Gazette of March 4, 1897. William McKinley was today inaugurated as president of the United States. If the horoscope of the McKinley administration cast by Julius Erickson, a young astrologer, is fulfilled, the president will have four years of marked excitement. Among other things he says: "If McKinley's inauguration takes place at 12:45 there will be grave danger of the country drifting into war. The administration will be distinctly American and starting news may be expected from Washington March 18th to 20th. Martial men and martial measures will be to the fore. I think we will have considerable excitement this coming year, and fear the first of next will witness stirring scenes. It is doubtful if we will have the prosperous times that have been promised us at once, within six months, but indications point to a very prosperous administration. (The Spanish war followed in 1898.)" Tim Carroll has made an important improvement to his beet dump, which provides for the automatic tilting of the same when the loaded wagon is driven upon it. Tim tells us the new dump will tilt five tons of beets in ten seconds. The new apparatus is exciting great interest everywhere and is destined to come into general use. The Dominican sisters are erecting an addition to the orphange, 75x35 Our Santa Ana friends are blessed with the best store that any small town was ever favored with.

The school at Tustin grows, 32 scholars are now registered; about 50,000 grape vines are being set out; got plenty of water now, don't need the canal. A good big rain storm set in just as we went to press last week, it continuing until near noon of Saturday. The fall as measured by Dr. Higgins was one inch. The Star claims 1 1-5 inches as the result of the same storm in Los Angeles. We have no regular water guage here, but it is measured by the Doctor as accurately as possible in an ordinary tin vessel. We probably do not get the full rain fall in this way, as many light rains do not leave water enough to be measured at all, without a guage. The total thus far is 8 3-4 inches and we think that at least 10 inches have actually fallen. Later another 1-4 inch of rain fell on Monday night, 26th ult. The rain fall seems to decrease fast as it comes down the coast. On the 21st ult 3-4 of an inch fell at San Buena Ventura, 40-100 of an inch at Los Angeles and only 1-4 of an inch reached us. The acts repealing the "state paper act" and the act to protect litigants were both approved February 21, and will take effect ninety days after that date, or after May 21, 1872. Richland people will take notice that an election is to be held there before long to decide upon the question of a tax for a school house. Turn out and vote for the measure. (Orange was known as Richland fifty years ago.) The city attorney is instructed to commence suit at once on all city taxes unpaid on Monday next. Pay up and save costs. Damage to the Lighter company—The severe northwest gale on Saturday last, created quite a commotion at the Landing. The lighters were lying alongside the Griswold River.

The Dominican sisters are erecting an addition to the orphane. 75x35 feet, adjoining the present building on the west and doubling the capacity of the dormitories. There are 110 orphan boys at the institution and it requires the attention of twelve sisters to attend to their wants and cause them to grow up as good little boys should. Miss Regina Harris, of Santa Ana, is in the city visiting Miss Flora Davis. Miss Edna Williams is assisting Secretary Blennnerhassett at the water office. Assessor Vegeley was in town one day last week making arrangements for the beginning of this year's assessments. Amos Jennings will be the deputy assessor for Anaheim and Fullerton townships. Judge Wright, of Fullerton, has filed an abstract of judgment from his court with the county recorder in the case of P. A. Schumacher vs. the San Juan company in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of $116.93. John Hart was in town from Los Angeles one day last week. John is in the tea and sugar business and thinks of making a trip to Japan this coming summer. Ed Crowther is making commendable progress with his "Pinafore" company and the preliminary rehearsals indicate that the public will shortly be favored with a very successful rendition of that old time favorite. "Pinafore" is the first and perhaps the best of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas and years ago its songs were sung over the greater part of the habitable globe. After it came "Patience," "Pirates of Penzance," "Mikado," and others of these gifted artists, but it is doubtful if the widespread popularity of the first was ever equaled.

Pay up and save costs. Damage to the Lighter company—The severe northwest gale on Saturday last, created quite a commotion at the Landing. The lighters were lying alongside the Orizaba discharging outward freight into the steamer, when the storm grew so violent that the latter was obliged to leave, taking the crew of the lighters as well as Mr. Waldo, assistant clerk of the Lighter company, along with her to Wilmington. One lighter was empty, the other contained between 40 and 50 pipes of wine and some 200 sacks of grain. Both lighters soon broke away from their anchorage and the loaded one went ashore about two miles below the Landing, keeping right side up and not getting much water in, as her hatches were down. The empty one drifted about five miles down the coast and landed in the mouth of a creek or slough. No merchandise is lost as the inward freight had not been taken from the steamer. The damages consist in the loss of the anchors and chains with which the lighters were moored, the expense of getting the lighters off the sand (which it is thought can be accomplished in a few days with a high tide) and perhaps a trifling damage to the grain, together with the incidental expenses of extra labor. Altogether it will probably not exceed $500. The company have a third lighter at the wharf in good condition and ready for use when needed, and the outgoing grain crop this year will probably necessitate the building of still more. Mrs. Langenberger went to Los Angeles on Tuesday to visit Madame Modjeska. The Madame is still at the hotel Van Nuys unable to be moved. She has gained somewhat this week, but is still very low. Mrs. Langenberger returned last night. Senor Don Felipe Zarate, of Santa Ana, is a poet whose renown has reached beyond the confines of that town, and is known, next to conducting one of the finest restaurants at the county seat, as poetaster whose jingling rhymes would bring him a fortune were they printed in a book. The other day we called upon Senor Zarate, to inspect his metrical compositions, when that august gentleman produced the following as a sample of his verse carpentering, which is regarded among his friends as the best production his genius has yet turned out: si V Se determino si o no, "Como me determino yo. Tomaremos un tragito, De lo que tomo yo." Poet Zarate is all right. His versification is full of fire and passion, and metrically correct, as is also his old fashioned Spanish hospitality. Viva Zarate! ANAHEIM GAZETTE FARM BUREAU FAVORS CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING Directors of County Body Adopt a Platform. The Orange county farm bureau believes that the time has come for it to declare its general policy and take such stand on present day topics as will leave no doubt as to the constructive and impartial position of the organization, according to a statement prepared by R. D. Flaherty, secretary-manager of the farm bureau, and adapted by directors of the organization in their meeting. The program of the bureau is declared to be three-fold, and includes the following projects: First, the economic feature, with emphasis on the development of co-operative marketing. Second, educational, with the stress on economic education. Third, legislative, with the legislation used merely as an aid to the economic program. "The farm bureau believes in self-help, and wants government action only as a means to that end." "The farm bureau starts with the premise that it is within the province of farmers not only to produce commodities, but also to perform some of the functions of market distribution, and that individually they cannot perform their functions effectively." The co-operative marketing system was suggested as the means by which the producers might market their products and the citrus growers, walnut growers and dairymen were commended for the organizations they have built to market their products. That the interests of the farmers can be served best by the aid of the farm bureau in these co-operative marketing institutions was decided and action in this direction urged. The organization of new marketing bodies application for a branch line from La Habra to Tustin. The Orange county farm bureau, actively co-operating with ranchers and property owners in the affected district, vigorously opposed this extension on the ground that it was not an economic necessity. "On the other hand," said R. D. Flaherty, secretary-manager of the farm bureau, "we proved, through Judge F. S. Brittain, who prepared our case for presentation to the interstate commerce commission, through the state railroad commission, that the proposal, if carried out, would have resulted in an economic waste. "Leading ranchers, citrus executives, members of the board of supervisors and others united with the farm bureau in contending that the district already was adequately served by carriers. Amang those actively prosecuting the fight against this extension were W. N. Cummings, D. C. Drake and I. L. Collins. "We collected exhaustive data showing the amount of fruit and other agricultural products grown in the district, the returns per acre, and the existing railway facilities for taking care of this product. "Only one rancher in the entire district favored the project, and scores of leading growers and citrus executives stood diametrically opposed to the extension. There was absolutely no need of this branch line, as we were prepared to prove, and we are glad the application was withdrawn." RETAIL PRICES BREAKING Whether as the result of Attorney General Daugherty's investigation or simply a logical step in the readjustment process in the east, there have been several indications during the last few days that retail prices are beginning to seek levels more in keeping with the general trend of economic... The co-operative marketing system was suggested as the means by which the producers might market their products and the citrus growers, walnut growers and dairymen were commended for the organizations they have built to market their products. That the interests of the farmers can be served best by the aid of the farm bureau in these co-operative marketing institutions was decided and action in this direction urged. The organization of new marketing bodies and the extension of those already existent was another feature on which the bureau plans to act. Pooling service in the buying of grain supplies and by dairy and poultry owners in the purchase of feed and other necessities was commended in the platform and approval of the feature of the service which has to do with the assembling of orders and the purchase of carload lots was made through feed companies belonging to these dairymen and poultrymen. From this feature the farm bureau expects to show, it was stated, that their policy is flexible enough to serve the best interests of the farmer and yet declare its opposition to either the farm bureau or the farmers as a group entering the retail field at the present time. An educational program that will seek to accomplish the regulation of planting to avoid glutting the market and the development of a program for the general betterment of agriculture in co-operation with the farm advisors and other departments of the extension service of the college of agriculture, is also included in the platform. The platform with its varied features follows: First, to decrease the cost of producing crops for market. Second, to decrease the cost of getting crops from producer to consumer. Third, to bring the producer and consumer to understand that they are the ones most directly concerned with the laws of supply and demand, and therefore should be in closer contact with each other. Fourth, to get the farmers to keep books in order to secure accurate testimony of the cost of production, without which adequate tariffs and earnings cannot be calculated. Fifth, to regulate the planting of crops with a view to a more even flow of products from farmer to consumer with its corresponding glutted and undersupplied market. RETAIL PRICES BREAKING Whether as the result of Attorney General Daugherty's investigation or simply a logical step in the readjustment process in the east, there have been several indications during the last few days that retail prices are beginning to seek levels more in keeping with the general trend of economic events. The nickel loaf of bread—16 ounces in weight—has reappeared. A national concern operating a string of stores announced at its New York ojces the other day that pound loaves would be retained at five cents in the future. This means that competitors must follow the example, and it will not be long until the nickel loaf is available throughout the eastern country. Another article, regarded as a staple by a large proportion of the citizenship of the country, also has just suffered a cut in price in Ohio, where dealers are selling the regular 20-cent package of cigarettes for 18 cents. It has been a matter of general knowledge that retail prices have failed to keep pace with the decline in wholesale charges since the readjustment period set in more than a year ago. Wheat and flour have been on the down-grade for many months, during which the retail price of bread remained stationary at its former high level. Consumers were unable to understand this, and no satisfactory reason has been advanced by the dealers. But it seems that the props are beginning to be knocked out from under the artificially high retail prices at last. A drop here and another there, and it will not be long before competition gains full swing, and the whole structure will sink to a point stabilized by the operation of supply and demand. Economic forces having once broken down the artificial supports, will not be long in readjusting prices to a fair level. Foodstuffs especially have been slow in coming down. While the farmers and cattle raisers have been appealing to the government for aid on account of depressed wholesale prices, their products when they finally reach the consumer have demanded exorbitant prices. Somebody between the producer and the consumer has been making a "killing." Orange County Business College SANTA ANA, CAL. Midwinter Term, Jan 2, 1922. Day School and Night School all the year.
