IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of Dec. 28, 1872. The festival held at the Masonic hall last Tuesday evening was a general success. The hall was literally crowded with the elite of our city, and we noticed a large attendance from the suburbs of Anaheim—Los Nietos, Santa Ana, Richland and Tustin City. The evening was opened by Mr. and Mrs. McKinnie and Mr. Crowther singing "Christmas is Here," which was followed by "Kris Kringle's Christmas Karols," sung in fine style by a number of children. S. A. Hawkins made a splendid Kris Kringle and his appearance on the stage in the orthodox costume peculiar to that character, was the signal for great laughter and applause. It was our intention to give a list of the recipients, but as the committee on arrangements failed to provide an arm chair and desk for our reporter, and as he found it impossible to write his notes, with the crown of his hat for a desk, that interesting part of the program must be omitted. We, however, must return thanks to the fair one (our buzzum tells us it must be a fair one) who so kindly remembered us. We will hang that shoe, string up in our sanctum, we will prize that stocking, yea, we will prize that stocking as the apple of our eye. After the presents had been distributed the hall was cleared for dancing and the young ones proceeded 1871-72 on November 25th and 26th, 1 1-8 inches." At the time of our going to press there is every appearance of a long continued rain. The rainfall up to the present time is three-eighths of an inch. The ball given at the Anaheim hotel last Wednesday evening was a most enjoyable affair, and taking into consideration the state of the weather, which was bad, the attendance was unusually large. The following, as far as our reporter could ascertain, is a list of the ladies present: Misses Ida and Susie Smith, Mrs. J. Fischer, Mrs. and Miss Bremmerman, Mrs. F. A. Korn, Misses F. and N. Carillo, Misses Smythe, Mrs. T. Reiser, Mrs. Burkley, Mrs. A. W. Steinhart, Mrs. Kroeger, Mrs. Knipe, Miss Parker, Mrs. P. Davis, Miss Mendleson, Miss Guthrie, Mrs. Bauer, Miss Meyerholz, Miss Clavetur, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Conrad, Mrs. Rust, Mrs. Joel Parker. Gentlemen present: Dan Schmid, Joel Parker, Patterson, F. Backs, F. Conrad, Cal McDowell, Gust Rust, R. Ashcroft, Ed Polhemus, L. W. Kirby, Richard Melrose, J. Ramage, J. D. Ott, P. Richards, John Fischer, F. A. Korn, T. Canovan, A. G. Beebe, H. Kroeger, I.

"Mine host" of the Planter, John Fischer, knows how to get up a real nice "hop." Go early and get your tickets, young gentlemen. It is your last chance of the year. Get your sausages at Dravesen & Boege. If you want a nice dress suit for the holidays, go to M. F. Riecke. Business suits made to order. Monday morning at 1:05 o'clock a.m. the long looked for rain made its appearance. Since that time the sky has been overcast with heavy clouds, with occasional showers. The Los Angeles Star says: "In looking back at our rain data, we find that the first rain of 1870-71 fell on the 2nd of October to the extent of one inch. In WARNING SOUNDED THAT ALL SHOULD HEED Information has been received by the state corporation department to the effect that what might be called a concerted drive is about to be made by questionable concerns, and individuals to reap a harvest by getting a goodly portion of the immense sums being paid to investors during this so-called re-investing period. This is no new stunt, but prospective investors may safeguard their dollars by being on their guard against the fraudulent salesman and his worthless paper. Commissioner Edwin M. Daugherty has sounded a warning that should be heeded by all who have benefitted from crop returns or are about to receive principal or interest on United States or other bonds, or dividends from stocks or savings deposits. FOR PUBLIC DEFENSE The abandonment of the railroad strike and the settlement of the coal strike of 1922 should not delude the people of the United States into thinking that they are thereby made secure from similar interruptions of industry and traffic in the future. To be lulled into a sense of security by the passing of an immediate menace, would be folly in the extreme. Demonstration of what the country may be made to suffer ought to be all the stimulus necessary to insure early establishment of an effective means of public defense. Perhaps they do not know it, but the people of the country must pay the costs of the shopmen's strike conducted a short time ago. When the shopmen went out, the railroad managers sought to place other men in Miss Clavetur, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Conrad, Mrs. Rust, Mrs. Joel Parker. Gentlemen present: Dan Schmid, Joel Parker, Patterson, F. Backs, F. Conrad, Cal McDowell, Gust Rust, R. Ashcroft, Ed Polhemus, L. W. Kirby, Richard Melrose, J. Ramage, J. D. Ott, P. Richards, John Fischer, F. A. Korn, T. Canovan, A. G. Beebe, H. Kroeger, I. N. White, F. Laigenberger, F. Lafoucherie, A. W. Steinhart, John Knipe, J. P. Zeyn, Gus Davis, F. Rimpau, A. Rimpau, L. Halberstadt, Martin, Louis Dravsen. The toillets of the ladies were all that could be desired. Our reporter went there with the full expectation of "doing up" the toillets "a la Jenkins," but on attempting to describe the love of a "Bow" worn by Miss G. and the duck of a plaid that encircled the fair form of Miss P. and the elegant "switch" which added not a little to the charms of Miss Z., his feeble mind began to toter and not until he had consumed half a dozen glasses of cigars, did he return to his normal condition. The music was furnished by the Anaheim brass band, and that, together with the good "calling" of McLaughlin contributed not a little to the pleasure of the evening. The stable of F. S. Miles was entered on Tuesday night and a fine saddle and bridle taken. The horse was left. New Year's presents of all kinds at Clark's. Deeds Recorded—A.

This is no new stunt, but prospective investors may safeguard their dollars by being on their guard against the fraudulent salesman and his worthless paper. Commissioner Edwin M. Daugherty has sounded a warning that should be heeded by all who have benefitted from crop returns or are about to receive principal or interest on United States or other bonds, or dividends from stocks or savings deposits. The first step, said the commissioner, is to ascertain if the proposition presented is an honest one and has a fair chance of success. If the prospective investor does not have the facilities to determine this—and the average man does not have—he should consult his banker or a competent financier or a professional man in whom he has confidence. The next step is to ascertain if the securities offered are authorized to be sold in this state. This may be ascertained by communicating with the commissioner of corporations at 808 Forum Building, Sacramento. The third step is to ascertain if the salesman offering a security is licensed. This may also be ascertained by writing to the department. A good safeguard, so the commissioner advises, is to ask to see a copy of the company's permit and read it carefully. Also to demand to be shown the salesman's license, either broker or agent. If the company has no permit, and the salesman has no license, the investor should look askance at the offer, and should make more than the usual investigation before purchasing. A little diligence may save the contents of a purse. Pep isn't everything. A dog sometimes makes things snappy, but who wants to be that kind of a dog? Perhaps they do not know it, but the people of the country must pay the costs of the shopmen's strike conducted a short time ago. When the shopmen went out, the railroad managers sought to place other men in their places. Picketing, intimidation, violence and even murder were resorted to in the effort to prevent employment of new men who were willing to work. Because of this aggressive actio non the part of strikers or their sympathizers it became necessary for the railroads not only to employ guards, but to provide temporary sleeping facilities and food for many of their men, and also to pay excessive wages because of the personal dangers those men encountered. No one should be deceived into the notion that these increased costs fall entirely upon the railroad corporations. It is true that the costs are paid by them in the first instance, and, undoubtedly, will fall partly upon stockholders who are already receiving an inadequate return upon the capital they have invested in railroad properties, but in a large measure the increased cost will fall upon shippers and travelers who will be caused upon to pay rates based chiefly upon costs of operation. But the loss in dollars and cents incident to outlawry is the least important consideration. This is either a free country or it is not. We are either maintaining a land of equality of opportunity or we are conducting a government under which a few are granted privileges not offered to the many. We are living either in a land of individual liberty or a land of dictatorship. Certain radical labor union ANAHEIM GAZETTE leaders have undertaken to overthrow equality of opportunity and to deny the exercise of individual liberty. They undertake to say who shall be permitted to work and when and where. The maintenance of equal individual rights and the protection of life, liberty and property are of vastly more importance than the saving of the few millions of dollars wasted on strikes. We have presented to us, therefore, the problem of assuring as thoroughly as possible the right of any man to accept employment in any legitimate occupation subject only to such general legislation as the duly chosen representatives of the people shall deem necessary for the preservation of the public health and safety. Representatives of organized labor have denied that they countenance violence, intimidation or interference with personal liberty. If they are sincere in that denial, they will offer no objection to the enactment of any law that may be necessary in order to preserve the rights which they profess to recognize. But whatever may be their attitude, the duty of national and state legislators in the protection of all the public against the wrongful aggression of the few, admits of no question. GLORY ENOUGH FOR ALL The magnanimous nature of Warren G. Harding and his true conception of the character of American institutions, are well illustrated in his letter to Congressman Mondell commending the work of the present congress.

The magnanimous nature of Warren G. Harding and his true conception of the character of American institutions, are well illustrated in his letter to Congressman Mondell commending the work of the present congress. He is one executive who does not belittle the importance of congress, either in its constitutional place in our government or in its personnel. He gladly gives to the legislative branch of the government full credit for the important and effective part it has played in the work of after-war reconstruction. President Harding well said: "One must dissent from the too prevalent idea that our plan of congressional government is not proving equal to the strain of these times." This statement is reassuring to all those people who still believe that the founders of this government acted wisely in distributing its powers among three co-ordinate branches. Whatever may be the motive or purpose of the man who indulges in wholesale and unrestrained criticism of congress, the effect in undermining respect for government is none the less anarchistic in its results. To condemn a specific act of an individual member of congress, assigning reasons therefor, is one thing; wholesale condemnation of the legislative branch of the government is something entirely different. The former is legitimate discussion of the record of a public servant. The latter is an attack upon the government itself. A man of small mind, or intense vanity, or selfish ambition, occupying a prominent executive position, might direct criticism toward the legislative branch of the government, thus giving relatively greater credit and importance to the executive. President Harding is not that type of man. In his public utterances since he has been in the white house, President Harding has lost no opportunity to indicate his appreciation of the integrity, the intelligence and the efficiency of the legislative branch of the government. He does not assume, as some seem to do, that when he disagrees with members of congress, they must be fools or crooks. His example is one that might well be followed by other gentlemen who seem willing to draw the lime light of public attention by a cowardly attack upon congressmen and senators in general when they have not OLGA BOEGE, Administratrix of the Estate of Olga A.

Wotton & Dupray, of Pomona, for the construction of 10,000 lineal feet of levee on its water spreading products at Highlands. This is by way of an experiment to determine whether or not the building of these levees can be done cheaper and better by steam shovel than by hand. The association at the present time has a force of ten men building levees by hand. The program for this year, as laid out by the directors, calls for the construction of approx. mately 15,000 feet or nearly three miles of additional contour dams. The association is spreading approximately 2000 inches of water per day at the present time. OFFICE PHONES HOME 753-1 SUNSET 341-J. Residence, 887 S.
