IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazzette May 18, 1872. We regret to learn that Rev. Mr Mack, of Westminster, lost a valuable span of horses this week. The team became frightened and ran away into a slough, where they were drowned before they could be extricated. We are deeply obliged to our worthy school superintendent, W. M. McFadden, Esq., for a very interesting communication upon the subject of school matters, which appears elsewhere. The reader will remark with astonishment the rapid increase in the number of school districts and that twenty-one new school houses have been built in the last two years, of which number seventeen are on this side of the San Gabriel river. This is a significant fact. It shows which end of the county is growing. We notice that Heiman & George have just received a new stock of ladies and misses hats and dress goods, etc. One would suppose that "Dolly Varden" was there herself to judge by the crowd that gathers there daily during business hours. Our fellow citizens, Major Strobel, Don August Langenberger and Gilbert Huntington left for San Francisco last Sunday. Mrs. Kate Parker has shown us some beautiful specimens of strawberries, the largest of which measures 3-4 inches in circumference, grown up on plants set out last December. From Gazette May 20, 1897. Brewer Conrad had a birthday party at his residence in the west end on Monday evening, when dancing and singing and hearty merriment was the order of the occasion. A large crowd was present to tender Mr. Conrad congratulations upon his attaining such a hale and hearty age, and to wish him many happy returns of the day. The Santa Ana Blade last week began its third year under the manage- of Horace Greeley McPhee. Mr. McPhee has given Santa Ana a bright, well-edited daily conducted on enterprising lines. Many happy returns of the anniversary. Frank Ey was over from Santa Ana yesterday afternoon. Frank has lately returned from attendance upon the pure food congress in San Francisco and reports much good accomplished at the meeting. Senor de la Guerra was in from his ranch at Yorba on Monday. He reports the soft shell walnut crop good in his section, the young nuts setting quite as plentiful as last year. Harry Hammond, of the Farmers' and Merchants' force of bank clerks, accompanied by Miss Emy Elmann, drove down from Los Angeles on Sunday to pay a visit to friends. They returned to their homes in the afternoon.

Mrs. Kate Parker has shown us some beautiful specimens of strawberries, the largest of which measures 3-4 inches in circumference, grown on plants set out last December. Can anybody beat that? It is rumored that some heavy capitalists of this country are about to buy Catalina island and sell it to an English company at an advance of several hundred thousand dollars. Should it be around when that is divided. Mr. Richard Helman has procured from San Francisco six barrels of decayed oranges for seed. Three barrels of these are planted by himself and the others by Jno W. Clark, Esq. This looks like plenty of young orange trees soon. Advices from over the country are the effect that Dolly Varden fever is general, but fashion sharps predict a early collapse. Editor Gazette: Amid all the material improvements made by the people of Loos Angeles county few are aware of the advances made in education. During the last two years the number of school districts of this county have increased from twenty-six to thirty-seven, and the schools from thirty-three to fifty-one Twenty-one new school buildings have been erected in two years, of which number seventeen are east of the old San Gabriel river and cost from $800 to $4000. Los Angeles has issued bonds to the amount of $26,000 to erect a large central school building. All these improvements are necessary to accommodate the increasing population and furnish education facilities for the thousands of children who are availing themselves of this privilege.—W. M. McFadden, superintendent of schools. Judge Nye, county judge of Alameda county visited us last week. He owns a half section of land about three miles southwest of town on which he proposes to plant two hundred acres to fruit and nut trees. The judge is something of a newspaper man also, Harry Hammond, of the Farmers' and Merchants' force of bank clerks, accompanied by Miss Emy Elmann, drove down from Los Angeles on Sunday to pay a visit to friends. They returned to their homes in the afternoon. Frank Dyer, the exponent of crinitural abscission in Prof. Netzow's tonsorial emporium, is breaking the record for the original fat boy. Frank weighs 168 pounds and if he doesn't tip the beam at a couple of hundred before the year is out, we miss our guess. The Ladies' Euchre club was delightfully entertained by Mrs. Melrose last Thursday. Besides the regular members of the club, a number of invited guests were present, among whom were Mrs. Thacker, of Chicago, and Miss Delmas, of San Jose. The double parlors were beautifully decorated with roses and carnations, and during the afternoon the young ladies' mandolin club favored the company with a number of choice selections. The first prize, a silver berry spoon, was won by Mrs. W. J. Cole, the second, a handsome cut glass vase, was awarded to Mrs. A. Rimpau, and the consolation, a pin trap, was captured by Mrs. Henry Kuchel. Mrs. Alex Gardiner, of Orangethorpe avenue, takes her departure tomorrow for her old home in Knoxville, Tenn., which she has not visited since leaving for California in 1869. Mrs. Gardiner will visit the Memphis exposition while away and will be absent during the greater part of the summer. Capt. Halpin contemplates leaving shortly for England. He may go to South Africa with the troops and take a hand in subduing the savages of that far-away land. The captain, in common with every other English subject, has a rod in pickle for these tribes and if he goes to the front with the troops may be relied upon to give a good account of himself. The Epworth League celebrated the eighth anniversary of its organization on Sunday evening last at the Methodist church. A large assemblage listened attentively to the following program: *Denational exercises by the ranch at Yorba on Monday.* He reports the soft shell walnut crop good in his section, the young nuts setting quite as plentiful as last year.

How often has a dull Judge Nye, county judge of Alameda county visited us last week. He owns a half section of land about three miles southwest of town on which he proposes to plant two hundred acres to fruit and nut trees. The judge is something of a newspaper man also, having at one time owned a half interest in the Alameda Gazette and we learn that he wields a vigorous quill when he goes on the war-path. We understand that members of the German singing club are to have a picnic at Santiago canyon, one week from tomorrow. A good time is expected and the public generally is invited. Bottled Beer—This excellent drink, especially grateful in warm weather, may be had of F. Conrad, of the California brewery, whose wagon delivers it daily to families in any part of town. Try it. Our young friend, Byron Clark, had this misfortune to run a pitchfork tine through his foot last week, and came near having the lockjaw in consequence. He has recovered, however, and is again able to eat his regular rations. W. R. Olden is planting one hundred acres of cotton, a portion of which is up and looking well. Our fellow townsman, Pedro Blanco, departed last Thursday morning on a trading trip to the land of the dusty Apache in Arlozna. The Epworth League celebrated the eighth anniversary of its organization on Sunday evening last at the Methodist church. A large assemblage listened attentively to the following program: Devotional exercises by the pastor; addresses by Rev. Keith and Rev. Stone; papers by Miss Owen, Miss Nettie Chaffee, Mrs. Peatfield, Mrs. L. C. Bailey, Dr. Alkire, William Vandecar, of Orange, and Prof. Evans. Songs by Miss Edna Williams and Miss Daisy White; duet by Misses Lizzie Bourland and Elsie Clabaugh; recitation by Miss Naomi Jennings and a letter from Rev. Collings. Prof. Keren informs us the city schools will let out for the summer vacation June 11. There will be fourteen graduates. Ramon Aguilar arrived from Lancaster on Saturday afternoon en route to New Orleans, where he goes to lead to the altar Miss May Josephine Brown of that city, on the evening of June 2. After the wedding he will return to Anaheim with him bride to visit a few days with relatives and friends. Herman Dickel and wife attended the performance of the Otis Skinner company in Los Angeles two evenings last week, when they witnessed "His Grace de Grammont" and "Romeo and Juliet." After the performance they enjoyed a petite souper with Mr. Skinner and his charming wife, Maud Durbin. ANAHEIM GAZETTE ENDORSE BOULDER DAM Unanimous endorsement of the Boulder canyon dam project and a decision to send at least four representatives to Washington to press the matter before the committee featured a meeting in Santa Ana Thursday afternoon of the southern branch, League of California Municipalities. The meeting, held at the call of Mayor John L. Bacon, of San Diego, chairman, followed a 1 o'clock lunch, and was attended by representatives from Los Angeles, Long Beach, A. ambra, Pasadena, Riverside, Fullerton, Anaheim, Santa Ana, and other municipalities. The sentiment of the gathering will be outlined by a special committee consisting of George L. Hoodenpyl, of Long Beach, J. S. Nickerson, of Brawley, and Grant M. Lorraine, city manager of Alhambra, who will draw up a resolution and send it broadcast over the south, asking that each municipality, chamber of commerce and farm center pass similar resolutions and forward to Manager Lorraine, of Alhambra, who will see that they are delivered to the southland representatives who will go to Washington. Who the league's representatives will be was not decided, but there will be at least four, and they will leave in time to appear before the committee when the joint Bolder canyon bill in congress is taken up. A finance committee to raise money for defraying expenses of the delegates was appointed consisting of Mayor W. F. Counter, of Fullerton, chairman; Wm. Stark, Anaheim; S. C. Evans, Riverside; John L. Bacon, San Diego; E. W. Cuff, Brawley; J. G. Mitchell, Santa Ana, who will meet at the call of the chairman. Chairman Bacon stressed the need of flood control, and pointed out the danger of damage and loss of lives if the Boulder dam is not built the "Inland Empire" should be flooded. THE PETRIFIED FOREST The trees of Arizona's petrified forest did not grow where you see them today. They were of several kinds, but most of them were related to the Norfolk island pine, now used for indoor decorations. Doubtless, they grew in a nearby region and after falling, drifted down a water course and lodged in some eddy or a sand bank. Later they were buried by sand and clay, finally to a depth of several thousand feet. The conversion to stone was effected by gradual replacement of the woody material by silica in the form called chalcedony, deposited by underground water. A small amount of iron oxides deposited at the same time has given the brilliant and beautiful brown, yellow and red tints which appear in much of the material. The petrified forest of Arizona is really a series of petrified forests. There are four of these forests included in a government reservation called petrified forest national monument, created by presidential proclamation in 1906. The name "forest" is not strictly appropriate, for the petrified tree trunks are all prostrate and are broken into sections. The logs are the remains of giant trees that grew in Triassic time, the age of reptiles. Some o'f the tree trunks are six feet in diameter and more than a hundred feet in length. In the first forest there is a fine trunk that forms a natural bridge over a small ravine, the water having first washed away the overlying clay and sand and then, following a crevice, worked out the channel underneath. The length of this log is 110 feet, and the diameter four feet at the butt and one and one-half at the top. These facts have been given out by the United States geological survey. Petrified woods are very interesting objects of study. When thin slices are carefully ground down to a thickness of .003 inch or less and placed ING expenses of the delegates was appointed consisting of Mayor W. F. Counter, of Fullerton, chairman; Wm. Stark, Anaheim; S. C. Evans, Riverside; John L. Bacon, San Diego; E. W. Cuff, Brawley; J. G. Mitchell, Santa Ana, who will meet at the call of the chairman. Chairman Bacon stressed the need of flood control, and pointed out the danger of damage and loss of lives if the Boulder dam is not built the "Inland Empire" should be flooded. Among others who spoke were E. W. Cuff, of Brawley; S. C. Evans, of Riverside; J. G. Mitchell, of Santa Ana; Supervisor J. H. Hamilton and Burdette Moody, of Los Angeles; Albert Launer, of Fullerton; Mayor Coulter, of Fullerton, and O. E. Steward, city manager of Anaheim. REFUSES PROBATION PLEA "Here were two young girls' widows' daughters, who had no protection but what the law actually gave them. Shall we fall to apply that law? No." This was the answer of Superior Judge R. Y. Williams to an appeal for probation filed by Eddie Allen, 22, Huntington Beach oil worker, convicted by a jury of a statutory offense against a 14-year-old Santa Ana girl, and accused of a similar attempt against a 13-year-old girl. The court sentenced Allen to a term of not exceeding 50 years at San Quentin. Attorney Clyde Bishop, of counsel for defense, served notice of an appeal from the verdict and judgment. "Had you picked on any other girls, girls who had male protectors, the jury that heard your case would more likely have been a coroner's jury," the court told Allen. Allen and Leo Val Day, who is now awaiting a hearing on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of one of the girls, were arrested by the Santa Ana police, who found them, it was alleged, with the girls, all asleep in an automobile, the girls too intoxicated to be taken home. How often the bright boy in school has a dull finish! Demand by Orange county farmers for farm labor at this time is wiping out unemployment in this county, with the demand greater than the supply of men, according to statements by men who are in close touch with the labor situation. The demand will continue to increase, it was pointed out, for bean planting soon will be in full swing. Hoeing and cultivating will follow soon. By the close of summer the rush of harvesting of beets will be under way. Indications point to the employment until next fall of large numbers of men in the various fields of farming activity. Men are being imported from Los Angeles and River-side counties to take care of calls in this county. According to men identified with local employment bureaus, wages for hay hands are less here than they are in the San Joaquin valley and the grain sections of the middle and northern parts of the state.
