IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO liems of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of April 26, 1873. Messrs. George C. Knox, Ed Miles and Antonio Yorba have gone on a trip to Julian. Paul Rickman was thrown from his horse last Tuesday and sustained a painful injury to his wrist. Miss D. C. Marquis and her sister were thrown from a buggy while returning from Los Angeles last Monday. They were not seriously injured. On last Monday morning about five o'clock a night shock of earthquake was felt in Anaheim. A shock was felt at the mission about nine o'clock the same morning. Today is the 50th anniversary of the introduction of Odd Fellows to the United States. The members of the Anaheim lodge celebrated the day with a picnic. By a sudden movement of the horse Miss Fischer was riding, she was thrown off. By a sudden movement of Miss Fischer she got on him again. No injuries. School Examinations—The school fund being exhausted, the public schools closed yesterday. Examinations in the grammar schools were in reading, arithmetic, grammar, physi- an has succeeded in interesting several capitalists of that city in the mine and they have consented to make a thorough examination. Should they be satisfied as to its richness active steps will be taken to erect furnaces, and everything necessary to its speedy and complete development. W. R. Olden has shown us a head of rye, measuring ten and one-half inches in length. This specimen is from the ranch of Mr. Walby, who has a volunteer crop of rye coming up in the field in which he planted barley this year. The steamer Gipsy, laden with oil, etc., arrived at Anaheim Landing on Saturday last at 3:30 p.m. A lightfet was loaded and at the dock at 5:30, just two hours after the arrival of the steamer. Mrs. Flora Eldridge, the milliner, announces that she has on sale besides hats and bonnets, the celebrated Butterick patterns. M. Calisher announces that he has just received a new line of goods, which he is selling cheaper than here-toore. He has boys' suits at $1.75; children's shoes at 50c, and ladies' shoes at $1.75, and other articles in proportion. By a sudden movement of the horse Miss Fischer was riding, she was thrown off. By a sudden movement of Miss Fischer she got on him again. No injuries. School Examinations—The school fund being exhausted, the public schools closed yesterday. Examinations in the grammar schools were in reading, arithmetic, grammar, physiology, history, geography, algebra. Examinations were also held in the primary grades by Miss Marquis. The public school will not open until about the middle of August. A private school will open on Monday, May 5th, in the grammar school building by Mr. Guinn. An agreement has been entered into between the Anaheim Water company and the North Anaheim Canal company for the sake of properly defending rights and privileges concerning the use of the flowing waters of the Santa Ana river and preventing dissension and for sharing all expenses of keeping water in the ditch and in case of a break in the river, construction of gates, repair work etc. The agreement was made on the 21st of April, 1873, and will expire on January 1st, 1874, and was signed by John P. Zeyn, president Anaheim Water company, and Fred A. Korn, secretary Anaheim Water company, and Wm. Kern and J. B. Raine, president and secretary, respectively of the North Anaheim Canal company, and was signed and sealed in the presence of John Fischer. A Rich Mine—Several months ago a number of gentlemen formed an association for the purpose of developing a silver mine which had been discovered in the Arlington district, San Bernardino county, about one hundred miles from Anaheim. The association is known as the "Virginia Mining company of Anaheim," and the gentlemen composing it are J. B. Bryan, John Bush, Jonathan Watson, W. N. Hardin, J. D. Ott, Oscar George, G. L. Chilson and D. G. Chilsen. The two last named are now at the mine and report that they are at work on a ledge two and one-half feet thick and are down thirty feet. A specimen of the rock which they are now taking out has been subjected to a rough test, and has been found to contain nearly eleven hundred dollars to the ton. Some of the rock first taken out Mrs. Flora Eldridge, the milliner, announces that she has on sale besides hats and bonnets, the celebrated Butterick patterns. M. Calisher announces that he has just received a new line of goods, which he is selling cheaper than herefore. He has boys' suits at $1.75; children's shoes at 50c, and ladies' shoes at $1.75, and other articles in proportion. Died—Near Anaheim, April 23rd. A H. Jordan, aged 30 years. Another Ditch—The Santa Ana and Tustin City Ditch company has been incorporated. The names of the incorporators are: W. A. Abbott, W. H. Spurgeon, A. T. Bates, C. Tustin, J. P. Johnston, J. Dunlap, G. L. Russell. The officers of the company are W. A. Abbott, president; A. T. Bates, vice-president; John Dunlap, secretary and treasurer. They propose to take the water from the Santa Ana river at a point about two miles above the head of the mouth of the Chapman ditch. When complete it will be about fifteen miles long. The ladies are collecting funds for the church building, and are going to Los Angeles on a collecting tour in a few days. The subscribers to the street sprinkling fund are requested to meet on Monday evening next at Clark's book store for the purpose of making all necessary arrangements. Prof. H. N. Bolander, state superintendent of public schools, spent several days in town last week. He is a genial gentleman of rare conversational powers and fond of a good joke. President Grant and family are on their way to Idaho Springs, Colorado. The San Diego Union of the 23rd contains a well written article on Anaheim from its settlement in 1857 to the present time. In speaking of our future it says: "Its future promises to be like its past, steady and prosperous growth. Isolated from the more populous region of the county and receiving little benefit from county legislation, Anaheim naturally seeks a division of the county, and the creation of a new county from that section of which it is the natural center.

A PROCLAMATION Whereas, the preservation of our forests, federal, state and private, is essential to our industrial and commercial life, to our strength as a nation, and to our individual well-being, and Whereas, forest fires, which are largely the result of carelessness or thoughtlessness, continue to do great damage, threatening to deplete and reduce our forests to the point at which they cannot longer serve the nation adequately as a source of timber supply or for watershed protection and recreation and. Whereas, the annual observance of Arbor Day in the states, and in the interest in fire prevention which has resulted from forest protection week heretofore, have done much to awaken the people to the importance both of planting trees and of perpetuating the forests that are already established. Therefore, I, Warren G. Harding, president of the United States, do urge upon the governors of the various states to designate and set apart the week of April 22-28, 1923, as forest protection week and wherever practicable and not in conflict with state law or accepted custom, to make Arbor Day fall within the same week; and to urge citizens, teachers, officers of public instruction, commercial and other associations and the press, to unite in thought and effort for the preservation of the nation's forest resources by conducting appropriate exercises and programs and by publishing information pertaining to the waste from forest fires and ways of preventing or reducing such losses, in order that our forests may be conserved for the inestimable service of mankind. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this 5th day of March in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three, and of the independence of the Untied States of America the one hundred and forty-seventh. WARREN G. HARDING. Slogans for Forest Protection Week Burned forests build no homes. Leave a clean camp and a dead fire. Prosperity was never yet built of burned forests. Cultivate carefulness with fire. Play safe in the forest—step on that snipe. When forests burn—you lose. All outdoors is yours—But not to burn up. If you can't be good, be careful—with fire. Your duty—to help prevent forest fires. Tobacco that never burns the tongue may burn the forest. Make "care with fire" your watchword in the woods. A smoking match carelessly thrown aside may mean a smoking forest. Be sure your campfire is dead—then bury it. San Francisco was rebuilt in a few years. It takes a century to regrow a forest. Human carelessness is the cause of 80 per cent of California's forest fires. Did you ever see a camping or picnic party in a burned forest? Help prevent fires. The forests are your playgrounds—keep them clean and green. Build a safe and sane fire in the woods—and don't forget to put it out. Every forest fire means less water for irrigation and domestic use. Start a fire and run away—pay the judge a fine next day. Have you got yours? Campfire permits are required on all national forests in California. How the devil must love to see a fool and his cigarette in the forest!

If the price is further advanced, then naturally the consumers will have to pay the additional bill, unless they should decide to curtail on the quantity used on their tables. The department of commerce issued a bulletin asserting that there would be a surplus of sugar, and the press release upon this was given as February 12. But on the 9th day of February Mr. Hoover's statement was put on the ticker in New York. If a Washington correspondent had been guilty of such a violation of confidence he would likely have been "spanked." The commerce department claims that its figures were so juggled in Wall street that it was made to appear that a shortage rather than a surplus of sugar was a fact. What is more important is the news that prominent sugar refineries, bankers and speculators held conferences in Cuba immediately prior to the first decided increase in the price of sugar. Their interests are pointed out as the only ones who will reap the benefits of the higher level that will be paid to seaboard refiners and their co-partners. Everybody who wants to can explain all they please, but the consumers are quite of one mind in the opinion that sugar prices have been advanced in order to enrich the American and Cuban sugar gamblers, and not because of the actual crop or legitimate market conditions. As usual, the public is told that the department of justice is "investigating," but that is hardly satisfying to those who feel that prices continue to be juggled. The philosophers are right who say that wealth alone does not bring happiness, but did you ever know poverty to bring it?

How the devil must love to see a fool and his cigarette in the forest! FOREIGN VESSELS ALREADY PASSING AMERICAN SHIPS Have the United States senators who opposed the shipping bill, no pride in an American merchant marine Do they expect the American flag to be seen in the leading ports of the world, when deserted by those claiming to be patriots? Such a situation is most amazing. More than three billion dollars were expended by the federal government during and after the world war in order to see an American merchant marine large enough and powerful enough to carry at least one-half of the ocean commerce of the United States. Before 1914, the year the world war opened, only about 14 per cent of our imports and only about 8 per cent of our exports, were carried in American vessels. The balance, both imports and exports, was carried in foreign vessels. In that year, commodities valued at $3,700,000,000 were carried to and from the United States and foreign countries, and only about $360,000,000 carried in American ships. Because of the war and strenuous (and also extravagant efforts on the part of the United States), in 1920 about 42 per cent of our imports and 43 per cent of our exports were carried in American vessels. The tide turned in 1921, continued during 1922 and is likely to be a flood against us in 1923 unless the senate acts promptly. Foreign ships, and more especially British ships, are passing American ships in the ocean carrying trade; and unless something is done the old figures of from five to eight per cent in American vessels, will come back. In the 12 months ending with June 30, 1921, only 40 per cent of our imports and 39 per cent of our exports were carried in American vessels. In the fiscal year 1922 the decline was still greater, only 32 per cent of our imports and 36 per cent of our exports being carried in American ships. In August, 1922, only 33 per cent of our imports and 38 per cent of our exports were carried in American ships. Everybody who wants to can explain all they please, but the consumers are quite of one mind in the opinion that sugar prices have been advanced in order to enrich the American and Cuban sugar gamblers, and not because of the actual crop or legitimate market conditions. As usual, the public is told that the department of justice is "investigating," but that is hardly satisfying to those who feel that prices continue to be juggled. CHURCH GROWTH A gain of 948,347 in church membership in the United States for the year 1922 is shown by the annual church census prepared for the Christian Herald by Dr. H. K. Carroll, compiler of first complete official census of religions in the United States. The 1922 census is published in the April issue of the Christian Herald. This gain compares with an increase of 1,011-296 membership and brings the total number of church members in this country up to 41,651-684. Approximately sixty per cent of the total numerical strength is included in the churches making up the Protestant Evangelical group, which has a total of 27,256,001 communicants and recorded a gain of $28,600 in 1922. The gain of the Roman Catholic church was $89,016, on the bases of 15,478,009 communicants, or 85 per cent of the Catholic population. The Eastern Orthodox group aggregating 625,944 communicants had a gain of 32,500 for the year. The Roman Catholic gain smaller than usual, due, perhaps, in part to revision in one of the larger centers and to restricted immigration.
