IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of May 17, 1873. H. Boege has sold to H. Meredith, 9 acres of land in Anaheim, with house, etc., for $3000. Charlie Hille has removed his wine rooms to Canter street, opposite the Pioneer livery stables. The Texas Pacific engineers were camped on Aliso creek on Wednesday. The schooner Sarah sailed on Tuesday for San Francisco with an assorted cargo of wine, wool and grain. Tuffree's office for the rental of the land company's unoccupied lands is at the store of Langenberger & company. On Wednesday a four horse team belonging to M. Bixby, of Los Cerritos, ran away, just after leaving Anaheim Landing. In crossing a slough one of the axletrees was broken and the driver was thrown forward under the horses. He was kicked by one of the horses and the wheels of the wagon passed over him inflicting serious injuries. The new coinage act abolishes the two-cent copper pieces. A special meeting of the Anaheim lodge, No. 207, F. & A. M. will be held this evening, where his wounds were dressed by Dr. Rowan, of Santa Ana. He suffers a great deal of pain, but stands it like a major, and derives great consolation from the fact that "I won't have to go to war when I get big." Tustin City—Mr. Columbus Tustin and N. O. Stafford bought, in 1867, a tract of land consisting of 1359 acres, situated about three miles east of the town of Santa Ana, and about nine miles from Anaheim. They afterward divided their land, each retaining 676 1-2 acres. The land is exceedingly rich and like that of its near neighbor—Richland—is eminently adapted for the growth of fruit. Mr. Tustin has planted this season nearly six hundred and fifty trees of different varieties and several thousand vines, and in conjunction with Mr. Harris, as planted a nursery of several thousand trees, from which they expect to realize quite a handsome sum. All the settlers have planted more or less fruit trees this season. Mr. Tustin has laid out 120 acres in city lots, and has, at his own expense, built one of the most handsome school houses to be found in the country, which is an ornament to the town and a just source of pride to Mr. Tustin. The average attendance of scholars is 20. A large hotel has also been erected for the accommodation of visitors, and a postoffice has been established, at which San Diego and Los Angeles bars against the kansas and other their operations to the danger.

The colonel is one of the institutions of southern California, and knows of what he speaks in discussing either the history of thirty year ago or the physical changes that have occurred since that time.

Calvin Fletcher will be in Los Angeles in a few days, to look at the country with the view of selecting a location for a colony of a hundred eastern families. Don't let him escape Mr. Olden. Anaheim has been unusually quiet since the advent of Father Sanchez. Messrs. Warner, Bicknell and Hansen, the commissioners for the Yorba ranch, were at Upper Santa Ana on Wednesday and Thursday. On Saturday last, Little Bob Harris, aged about eleven years, son of N. T. Harris, of Tustin City, while out shooting rabbits, met with a painful accident. In loading his gun it went off prematurely and blew off index finger of his left hand. The little fellow picked up the rabbits he had killed and his finger and marched home.

It would give Mexico a new political dignity and at the same time would prepare the way for foreign credits and investments which Mexico needs to develop her natural wealth. The United States, too, wants to recognize Mexico, for the substantial benefits that would come to this country in the way of increased trade. Americans want Mexican oil and want to sell their manufactured products in the Mexican market. They also want to do justice to Mexico, and show themselves friendly and helpful to a neighbor who has been through many hard years. The only question is whether the Mexican government is prepared to assume the obligations expected of a responsible government, in the way of adequate guarantees of life and property. There is no question that Obregon has wrought wonders during his administration. Mexico is at peace, united and working industriously. It has recovered from the devastation of its revolutionary wars better than some of the European countries have recovered from the world war. Mexico is radical, but less than some European friends. The issue between Mexico and Uncle Sam boils down to the question whether Mexico, under its new constitution, is going to confiscate American holdings that were acquired before the constitution was adopted. The Mexican officials say no, and point to court decisions as settling the matter. This will be the main point of discussion when the American commission goes to Mexico City, to talk things over with Obregon's representatives. All signs point to an understanding and a successful outcome, beneficial alike to both countries. AFTER 3 PER CENT COMPANIES That the action of the state corporation department is making short-shift of the operations of the old so-called 3 per cent loan companies has attracted wide attention is shown in an article published recently in the Wall Street Journal. In addition to editorial comment commending Commissioner Edwin F. Daugherty for his stand against the plans of these companies and for requiring safeguards and effective regulations, communications have been received stating that the California regulations are the only ones in the country which seem to be effective. Following in part is the recent comment by the Wall Street journal on the subject: "California Convertible Interest company, one of three organizations of that state operating under regulations fixed by Edwin F. Daugherty, commissioner of corporations, has had its permit to do business revoked. Under the state rule contract holders are protected and company officials must retain administrative machinery and financial surplus to complete all contracts. Investors in other states with little or no regulation may not be so fortunate. In addition to California's effective..." ANAHEIM GAZETTE bars against the 3 per cent people, Arkansas and other states have barred their operations. With Texas alive to the danger, Missouri awakening and the federal government alert, the unchecked career of the home gamblers approaches an end." K. C. Hogate, of the Journal in a letter to Commissioner Daugherty, recently wrote in part: "We have been glad to commend your regulations for the so-called 1 per cent companies, which so far as I know, are the only ones which seem effective in the country, although some states have played safe by absolutely barring the operations of these concerns. "On the whole it seems as if the bonanza days for these people are about over, and I think that you and Mr. Goodwin may rightfully take pride in the fact that you were among the first to appreciate the danger." A MONUMENTAL TASK Public business is being administered in the fullest sense of the term. The people are being served with a dispatch and efficiency that has not been equalled for a decade. For two years the executive branch of the federal government has been working at the biggest task ever undertaken by a public administration—the task of reconstruction of the restoration of normal conditions. Partly due to the world war and partly due to mismanagement, the present administration inherited conditions that were well nigh chaotic. This was true both in the field of private endeavor and the realm of public affairs. Never in the history of this country had there been such a violent dislocation of industry, transportation, commerce and agriculture as occurred during the years immediately preceding As a result of this, all lines of private enterprise have regained their confidence. All kinds of business and industry has improved. All classes of citizens are facing the future with optimism. Adversity has given place to prosperity. WALLACE ADVOCATES ACTION ON FORESTRY PROBLEMS "The country is suffering today from a shortage of timber, and broad program of public action is needed to meet our national requirements through the growing of new supplies," stated Secretary of Agriculture Wallace at a recent hearing before the senate committee appointed to consider the problems of a forest policy for the United States. "The yearly drain on our forests is 25 billion cubic feet," said the secretary, "and the yearly growth only about six billion feet. For saw timber and other high-grade products the drain is six times the replacement. Forty per cent of our timber is consumed east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac, but 60 per cent of the timber is west of the great plains. Depletion of the southern pine forests is rapidly increasing the proportion of far western lumber coming into the eastern markets. Twenty-eight states consume more lumber than they cut, and in 1921 it took $510 to buy as much lumber, and poorer lumber in quality, at $100 bought in 1840. "We are dealing with a tremendous land and economic problem. Nationwide protection of all forested lands in private ownership, cut-over as well as timbered, is the most urgent thing. The present co-operation of the federal government with the states in fire protection should be increased. next to fire protection in importance. This question is obviously of state jurisdiction. Public forest ownership should be extended, and the federal government should administer for forest purposes all its present public lands suitable for this, and should acquire additional lands by purchase or exchange. "With respect to private lands," said Secretary Wallace, "it is my belief that the forest policy of the United States should offer every reasonable encouragement to timber growing by private land owners through the force of enlightened self-interest and commercial gain; but that the policy will not be complete or fully effective without reasonable forms of public control over forest lands. Under our constitutional and other limitations, such public control must probably be left to the exercise of the police powers of the state, at least at the present time. This is, however, a question on which sincere advocates of forest conservation differ. It is an exceedingly important phase of the entire subject, which the committee should fully weigh and investigate." Partly due to the world war and partly due to mismanagement, the present administration inherited conditions that were well nigh chaotic. This was true both in the field of private endeavor and the realm of public affairs. Never in the history of this country had there been such a violent dislocation of industry, transportation, commerce and agriculture as occurred during the years immediately preceding the advent of the present administration. Much of this was inevitable, due to the war. Much of it could have been avoided had there been a proper administration of affairs during the war. These conditions were brought about by government control, price fixing, rationing and a long catagory of arbitrary and uneconomic rules and methods. When the war was over practically all of these war-time regulations and laws were continued at the insistence of the Democratic administration. In the conduct of our federal government, willful and almost incredible extravagance had become the rule. Graft was common. Bureaucratic insolence and irresponsibility was on every hand. There were padded payrolls, inefficient employees and general shirking of work. Haphazard methods abounded. Departments were disorganized and top-heavy, lacking both morale and discipline. There was no team work between bureaus in the same department or between departments. Jealousies and bickering among executives were the rule rather than the exception. All this has been changed. It was a monumental task. The work of clearing away the debris left by the former administration was in itself monumental. The work of readjusting the administrative machinery and getting it back to normal necessarily was delayed until the debris was more or less cleared. But it has been accomplished. The change began with the inauguration of President Harding and the selection of his cabinet. The driving power which has brought about this transformation has been centered in his cabinet. President Harding's ability to select men of large caliber and particular fitness for the task in hand is equalled by his marked ability to work with these men and to get the men to work with each other. There has been no one-man government since March 4th, 1921. Twenty-eight states consume more lumber than they cut, and in 1921 it took $510 to buy as much lumber, and poorer lumber in quality, at $100 bought in 1840.

President Harding's ability to select men of large caliber and particular fitness for the task in hand is equalled by his marked ability to work with these men and to get the men to work with each other. There has been no one-man government since March 4th, 1921. There has been no undercurrent of discord, no back-biting, no pulling in opposite directions upon the part of the official family under his administration. There has been the highest co-operation, the utmost co-ordination by the executives both high and low under the Harding administration. Every executive department of the government has undergone complete reorganization in the last two years. With one of two notable exceptions, this has been accomplished simultaneously with a reduction in expenditures and a radical reduction in the number of employees, which today is practically 100,000 less than March 4, 1921. Every department of the government is giving the taxpayer more for his dollar than he has ever received. Every department of the government is giving to that particular field it was created to serve, more service, better service and quicker service than ever before in the history of the government. The United States is the biggest business plant in the world today. As the result of two years of reorganization under Republican direction this business plant is turning out more work, work of better quality, than it has ever turned out. Moreover, it is paying its way as it goes for the first time in the history of the government. "CITRUS CEMS IN EGYPTIAN SETTINGS" Best musical and vaudeville program available has been secured.
