IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of March 9, 1872. Mr. John Hanna informs us that a large whale is ashore on the San Mateo beach about 12 miles beyond Capistrano. Chance for oil. Mr. Fischer is having three large signs made for the Planters hotel, each three feet wide by forty feet long. Anaheim received two large bags of mail on Tuesday. There were 400 to 500 letters. We understand that B. G. Perkins and wife, formerly of Santa Ana, in this county, have gone to China. Messrs. Benj. Dreyfus, of Langenberger & Co., and M. L. Goodman, of the firm of Goodman & Rimpau, left for San Francisco by the Orizaba on Thursday last. Mrs. Kate Parker has favored us with several copies of the "Revolution," the celebrated woman's paper published in New York. It is a good paper, but we think in justice to its cause, it ought to be edited by a woman instead of a man. Mr. Boldt informs us that he felt a slight earthquake shock here at half-past four o'clock Tuesday morning last. It was preceded by a rumbling noise and traveled from southeast to northwest. Gazette of March 11, 1897. Frank Ey has made a trip to San Pedro and tells us he never saw such a boom in the last ten years. Frank thinks that when the Utah Southern comes this way, which will probably be in the next two years, every section of southern California will experience a boom from one end of the citrus belt to the other. Gus Strodthoff is taking a course in stenography and shorthand at the Orange county business college, and is said to be slated for a lucrative position in the office of the Alamitos sugar factory when that institution starts up operations in July. John Selinger is lying critically ill at his residence in North Anaheim with heart trouble. His condition on Tuesday was very low, but yesterday he was considerably improved. Col. H. G. Otis, editor of the Los Angeles Times, seems, according to the dispatches from Washington, to be slated for the appointment as assistant secretary of war. Col. Otis would grace the position and we are free to say that not a single man in the state of California deserves more of the McKinley administration than this same able and conscientious Republican editor. Col. Otis might be said to be the original Simon pure Bill McKinley editor of California. A TIGER FISH How would you tiger for a pet—the America, at that?

It was preceded by a rumbling noise and traveled from southeast to northwest. Many of our readers may not know what pinole is—most old Californians do. It is roasted corn ground. It is delicious food and exceedingly healthy. Send to the Eagle mills in Los Angeles and get some. Died—On the 28th of February last, at her late residence on Ellis street, San Francisco, Mrs. M. I. Jacobs, mother of Mrs. M. Calisher, of this city. Jacob Westerling has bought of the Land company 40 acres adjoining that of S. J. Davis, west of town for $500. Steinhart and Bro. offer pipes free to all who purchase tobacco at their store. Rev. Rice, of the M. E. church, south, will preach at Enterprise hall Sunday at 11 a.m. We invite attention of our readers to the announcement of Messrs. Helmann & George in another column, of an Anaheim agency for the sale of all the most celebrated brands of agricultural implements. As these gentlemen will carry these articles in regular stock here, it will not be necessary to send to San Francisco or Los Angeles for them. John Forster writes that hog thieves have been operating on his ranch and adds that right in the center of his ranch a party of men under the pretense of bee-hunting stole, killed and salted down as many fat porkers as they could carry away. We should say a handful of buckshot would fit this case, and if parties will abuse the privilege of hunting bees upon a man's land by stealing his hogs the legislature had better pass a law prohibiting the hunting of bee trees upon private lands unless with the consent of the owner. Deeds Filed—W. H. Spurgeon to D. M. Dorman, land in Santa Ana for $150. County Recorder Scott and J. W. Duckworth, of Alamitos, have returned from Kansas, where they attended the session of the grand lodge of the Fraternal Aid association at Wichita. Mr. Scott was honored by election as vice-president of the grand council. Col. Northam has an expressly fitted up four seated buckboard at Patterson & Pfahler's establishment, which Nick Hugo is doing some blacksmithing for and to which Tommy Deidrich is contributing the finishing touches in the varnishing line. The vehicle will carry passengers from Benedict station on the Alamitos railroad to Col. Northam's possessions at Elsa and will undoubtedly be the most pretentious equipage on that road as soon as travel opens up this summer. We have another letter from John Schauman written from Guadalajara which will appear next week. Billy Connolly and Oscar Ingraham departed on Monday morning for Mexico to seek their fortune in the land of tamales and marijuana. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Time Lynch were disinterred on Saturday and placed in new graves side by side in the cemetery. Col. H. G. Otis, editor of the Los Angeles Times, seems, according to the dispatches from Washington, to be slated for the appointment as assistant secretary of war. Col. Otis would grace the position and we are free to say that not a single man in the state of California deserves more of the McKinley administration than this same able and conscientious Republican editor. Col. Otis might be said to be the original Simon pure Bill McKinley editor of California, with the name blown in on the bottle; for while other Republican newspapers leaned toward silver and others tread the primrose path of the Allison folly, Col. Otis hewed to the line and his paper was for McKinley first, last and all the time. On the occasion of the Reed day celebration in Los Angeles he tramped in the mud in the parade, while the "bosses" rode horses with gay cockades in their hats and patches of golden ribbon pinned upon their manly bosoms that would put a poppy field to shame. We are glad to hear that the old man is slated for an important appointment and extend our congratulations. A. B.

Squires, lot in Anaheim for $470. I. W. Hellman et al to J. M. Bush et al. 3875 acres of land on Browne Santiago de Santa Ana in the county of Los Angeles for $6565. Mr. R. Olden has a lengthy article in this issue of the Gazette reciting the many advantages Anaheim offers to those who want a home. He concludes by saying: "Anaheim has the peculiar advantage of being located, not only in the geographical center of this valley, but in the center of the very best part of it. known as the Stearns ranchos, containing 115,000 acres of the finest lands in the world, which are selling rapidly and being occupied by a steady and industrious population; but we want more. Thousands of acres are still unsold and uncultivated awaiting in their virgin fertility the plow of the intelligent husbandman." ANAHEIM GAZETTE A TIGER FOR A PET How would you like a Royal Bengal tiger for a pet—the largest one in America, at that? Think of the sensation you could create on the boulevard with it pacing by your side. It's intriguing, is it not? It is not. But Vera Beatty, one of the scores of women wild animal trainers with the Al G. Barnes circus, coming to Anaheim, Wednesday, March 15, has Rajah, might yellow and black striped jungle beauty, for a playmate, both in the middle steel girded arena of the top and its romps in the pan room of the show. However, Vera raised Rajah, and they understand each other. Vera swears that Rajah hasn't the man-killer's instinct, but the rest of the two hundred trainers with the show, famous ones, too, think differently. They are just as anxious as the audience when Vera wrestles the huge creature—a thriller she does immediately after working an act in which twenty Bengal giants obey her slightest wishes. TO SAVE HISTORICAL HOUSE Ten prominent men of Santa Ana were expected within the week to attach their signatures to a contract to purchase and hold for the Orange County Historical society eight lots in the McFadden tract, embracing the property upon which the house occupied so long by the pioneer family and the palms which have made the property at the corner of Main and McFadden, Santa Ana, prominent for many years. The property was optioned to a small group of men who are interested in preserving this historical location for the city, and they have enlarged the group to ten men and have completed plans for making the first payment of one-fourth of the value of the eight lots, which were offered at a special price of $10,000. E.M. Smiles constructing "props," such as log cabins and other structures—in preparation for the finishing of a large production with a Canadian setting. Penrhyn Stanslaws, the artist, has been directing the production and W.L. Griffith, production manager for the company has secured the assistance of Col.Richard Blaydon, of the Northwest Mounted Police. Ruth Roland, popular film star, is being featured in a "thriller," and Ed Carew is there with a large company and several dogs making an Alaskan picture. Betty Compson and Tom Moore are two more stars who have been working there, supported by a cast which includes Fred Weller, who has furnished a team of huskies. Weller was a friend of the late Admiral Robert Peary and the dogs are bred from one of the teams used by Peary in his famous dash to the north pole. A special cutting room has been furnished the companies at the Southern Pacific hotel, and the films are cut and assembled there and then sent directly to the east. Sleighing, tobogganing, skiing and snow-shoeing are among the winter sports which are proving most popular there. THE GRIM REAPER Deaths from alcohol last year were a half more than 1920. This is shown by the records of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, based on nearly 14,000,000 industrial policy holders. The death rate among Americans in 1921 was the lowest ever recorded, averaging all causes, says the insurance company. There were only 17 deaths for every 2000 population, compared with 25 in 1911. The nation gets healthier. That's more important than international politics or domestic economies.

Orange County Business College The property was optioned to a small group of men who are interested in preserving this historical location for the city, and they have enlarged the group to ten men and have completed plans for making the first payment of one-fourth of the value of the eight lots, which were offered at a special price of $10,000. E. M. Smiley, manager of the tract, has been advised that the option will be exercised and that all that remains necessary is for the ten men to sign the contract, and this they will do within the next few days it was stated by Smiley. A. B. Rousselle, sales manager of McFadden tract No. 1, declared that despite inclement weather that has prevailed most of the time since the opening of the tract to sales, there has been a great deal of interest and activity in the purchase of lots. Sales totaling in excess of $86,000 have been made, according to Rousselle. Among those to whom lots have been sold, and whose names have not been previously printed are A. R. Harrison, J. P. Cozad, A. Schauer, Fred Wilde, H. L. Walton, F. and H. Clayton, F. F. Smith, Edwin A. Baird and Chester Young. One of the purchasers of property this week is J. T. Kerns, who bought three lots on Orange avenue. He will build on them at once, according to Rousselle. Kerns formerly was a building contractor of prominence at Brundy, Colo., and has had many large contracts among them erection of court houses. He has been in Santa Ana about two months, it is said, and has concluded to enter actively into building operations there. 25 YEARS AGO Ladles wore bustles. Operations were rare. Nobody swatted the fly. Nobody had seen a silo. Nobody had appendicitis. Nobody wore white shoes. Nobody sprayed orchards. Cream was 5 cents a pint. Cantaloupes were muskmelons. Milk shake was a favorite drink. Advertisers did not tell the truth. You never heard of a “tin Lizzle.” Most young men had “livery bills.” Doctors wanted to see your tongue. Nobody cared for the price of gasoline. Farmers came to town for their line insurance company, based on nearly 14,000,000 industrial policy holders. The death rate among Americans in 1921 was the lowest ever recorded, averaging all causes, says the insurance company. There were only 17 deaths for every 2000 population, compared with 25 in 1911. The nation gets healthier. That’s more important than international politics or domestic economies. Give us health and we can put up with almost anything. For health usually means happiness, the goal of all life. Do you realize how rapidly the dread diseases are being exterminated or gotten under control? Tuberculosis death rate has been cut almost in half, in the last 11 years. Its decline in 1921 was the greatest of any year on record. Even the death toll of organic heart disease and Bright disease is getting lower. Safety First campaigns are bearing fruit. Rate of deaths from industrial accidents is slumping sharply. Deaths due to automobiles are soaring. Last year they numbered more than five times as many as in 1911. This is more than counterbalanced by the greater number of autos in use now, compared with past years. That, however, is small consolation to pedestrians and occupants of cars with reckless drivers. It is like telling a soldier that there are 200 rifles shooting at him, against only 20 rifles in a previous battle. With increasing congestion of population, compulsory protection against reckless auto drivers will become a necessity. The auto death rate will be reduced by the same processes that have cut the general death rate—quarantine and education. INITIATIVE MEASURES County Clerk J. M. Backs has received from the secretary of state official notification that several initiative measures have received the required number of signatures and will appear on the ballot at the next general election, which will be held in November. Among the more important are the water and power development initiatives, which would create a board of directors appointed by the governor and authorize a bond issue to the extent or $500,000,000; the initiative measure providing for taxation of publicly owned public utilities, and the osteopathic and chiropractic bills, each of which would create a board of exam- Nobody had appendicitis. Nobody wore white shoes. Nobody sprayed orchards. Cream was 5 cents a pint. Cantaloupes were muskmelons. Milk shake was a favorite drink. Advertisers did not tell the truth. You never heard of a "tin Lizzle." Most young men had "livery bills." Doctors wanted to see your tongue. Nobody cared for the price of gasoline. Farmers came to town for their mail. The hired girl drew one-fifty per week. Folks said pneumatic tires were a joke. The butcher "threw in" a chunk of liver. Nobody "listened in" on the telephone. TRUCKEE THE MECCA FOR FILM COMPANIES Truckee, with its unusually heavy snowfall this season, has proven so attractive to moving picture companies desiring to dramatize stories of the "Far North," that it is now the "Alaska of Moviedom," with five prominent film companies on the ground and others looking over the field for locations. The recent storm which swept the state piled up the snow to great depths and in addition to improving conditions as far as the moving picture companies are concerned, it has insured a most successful season for winter sports. On account of the presence of so many moving picture companies many of the local residents as well as visitors going there to enjoy the winter sports are taking parts as "extras" in the "movies." The Lasky company has been busy appear on the ballot at the next general election, which will be held in November. Among the more important are the water and power development initiative, which would create a board of directors appointed by the governor and authorize a bond issue to the extent or $500,000,000; the initiative measure providing for taxation of publicly owned public utilities, and the osteopathic and chiropractic bills, each of which would create a board of examiners to be appointed by the governor and take the matter of issuing licenses out of the hands of the state medical board insofar as the osteopathic and chiropractic professions are concerned.
