IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of May 31, 1873. John P. Zeyn arrived from San Francisco yesterday. Major Ben C. Truman paid us a pleasant visit last Wednesday. W. M. McFadden is a candidate for re-election as county school superintendent. The annual meeting of stockholders of the Anaheim Cemetery association will be held today. Mr. Frank Lafaucherie intends starting for San Francisco on Monday. County division is a fixed fact. The Los Angeles papers concede that we will have an easy victory. J. M. and R. Cummings have located near Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo county. John Bush has returned from his visit to "Old Missouri," bringing with him his aged father and mother. An "Old Folks' Concert" in aid of the Presbyterian church, will be held in a few weeks. At an early day we will publish a highly interesting article on the cultivation of the beet by J. M. Guinn. heim, and a man of long experience as a "Boniface." His first hotel was built in 1868 and was destroyed by fire in June 1871. On its site he erected the present structure, which is much larger and far superior to the one destroyed. Mr. Fischer has added to his hotel all the conveniences which experience could suggest. Water is forced to all parts of the building from a tank raised to the level of the roof and which is constantly supplied with fresh pure water. The building is hard finished with large sunny and well ventilated rooms. The culinary department receives the special attention of Mr. Fischer, and is, of course, excellent. The parlor is handsomely furnished, and among its appointments is a large piano. The Anaheim hotel is situated on the corner of Center and Lemon streets, and is owned, we believe, by Henry Kroeger, Esq., and is now leased by Max Nebelung, a genial gentleman, who is one of those rare individuals who know how to run a hotel successfully. The hotel was built in February, 1872, its erection having been begun immediately after the burning of the Planters.' The first lessee was Henry Bremerman, whose connection with various hotels in Los Angeles, and consequent knowledge of how it ought to be done guaranteed its success. Mr. Nebelung, the present lessee, took charge in December, 1872, and under his administration the superior statesmanship American diplomacy the recent experience in dealing with be remembered ago Great Britain agreements with promote trade with many American United States the sisting that we advantages if we was insisted by ain was "putting us" by more silent events have true.

A Paneful Suit—Sin See Wae filed a complaint in Judge Kohler's court charging George Axtell and Louis Be swinger, with willfully and maliciously breaking a pane of glass in the washhouse kept by plaintiff. The case was tried on Thursday and resulted in Axtell being discharged and Be swinger sentenced to pay a fine of $15 or go to jail for seven and one-half days. He paid the fine. It is time that some steps were taken to properly celebrate the Fourth of July. It is not too early to commence making preparations. Deeds Filed—E. Fithian to R. Cummins, 10 acres in Anaheim, for $250. R. Cummins to Mrs. Tarver, same land for $325. The champion cue has been received by Pete. The date of the tournament will be published soon. P. A. Clark is agent for the new paper soon to be issued in Los Angeles by Major Ben C. Truman. While Sheriff Rowland was driving into town last Tuesday, his team became frightened and ran away. The buggy collided with a telegraph pole, and Mr. Rowland was thrown out and suffered a severe contusion on his face. The buggy and harness were a total wreck. There are some people uncharitable enough to declare the whole thing a neat electioneering dodge, to give our blacksmiths, wagon-makers and harness makers a couple of days' work. For the benefit of any one wishing to come Anaheim we append the following description of our hotels of which we are justly proud: The Planters' hotel situated on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, is owned and conducted by John Fischer, one of the original settlers of Ana- Died—May 15, at San Juan Capistrano, Dona Juana Bermudez, aged 70 years.

Dr. Rowan attended him and we hope soon to hear of his complete recovery. A side of bacon, Charlie Johnson, 100 pounds of beans, Ed Miles, three bottles of cigars and George C. Knox went out to subdivide the ranch canyon de Santa Ana last Wednesday. Affairs in Anaheim are again running smoothly, and the town has regained its usual aspect.

Human nature is very much the same everywhere, but some of it is a good deal more so. HUGHES VINDICATED The superior character of American statesmanship now in control of American diplomacy is emphasized by the recent experience of Great Britain in dealing with Soviet Russia. It will be remembered that some two years ago Great Britain entered into certain agreements with Russia designed to promote trade relations. There were many Americans who urged that the United States take similar action, insisting that we would lose important advantages if we failed to do so. It was insisted by some that Great Britain was "putting something over on us" by more skillful diplomacy. Recent events have shown that not to be true. Abou the same time that Great Britain was entering into agreements with the bolsheviks, overtures were made to our own department of state for the recognition of the soviet regime. Secretary of State Hughes answered those overtures by making a public statement here in the United States which was transmitted to the Russian spokesmen. In that statement Mr. Hughes said that the government of the United States "views with deep sympathy and grave concern, the plight of the people of Russia and desires to aid by every appropriate means in promoting proper opportunities through which commerce can be established upon a sound basis." He could see no assurance of development of trade because of lack of production in Russia. "Production is conditioned upon the safety of life, the recognition by firm guarantees of private property, the sanctity of contract, and the rights of free labor," he declared. "If fundamental changes are contemplated involving due regard of persons and property and the establishment of conditions essential to the maintenance of commerce, this government will be glad to have con- which have been protested not only by the United States but by Great Britain, are but illustrations of that condition against which Mr. Hughes protested two years ago when he made an appeal for "the safety of life." The American people have reason to be proud that their country was not humiliated by being made the dupe of the conscienceeless bolshevists who have so long made sport of British statesmen. Our own department of State is still ready to deal with Russia whenever, as Mr. Hughes indicated, fundamental changes are contemplated and convincing evidence is presented of the consummation of such changes. In the meantime, those halt-hearted Americans who are always magnifying the ability of foreigners and minimizing the abilities of our own statesmen are not vociferous as formerly in expressing their opinions. TIMBER SHOULD BE REGARDED AS CROP, GOVERNMENT SAYS Whether timber is to be mined from our forests without thought of replacement, like coal from our hills, or whether it is to be considered as a crop to be harvested and grown like other farm crops is the main theme of a bulletin just published by the forest service, United States department of agriculture, entitled, "Timber: Mine or Crop?" The bulletin discusses very thoroughly the problems now confronting the country as a result of the lack of a forestry policy and the resulting depletion of the nation's forests by logging operations and fire. Nearly half the land area of the United States, some 822,000,000 acres, was originally forested, states the bulletin, but the forested area has now been reduced to 138,000,000 acres of virgin forest,$250,000,000 acres of comparatively inferior culled and second and Potomac rivers. Lumber producing and consuming centers are so far apart that we pay $250,000,000 annually in lumber freight." In the bulletin is traced the shifting of the timber industry from the east to the middle west and south, and then to the west. The necessity for vigorous reforestation and for the conservation of our remaining forests is emphasized since, according to forestry experts the available timber supply of the United States is being consumed about four times as fast as it is being replaced. Copies of the bulletin may be secured free upon application to the division of publications, United States department of agriculture, Washington, D.C., as long as the supply lasts. Ask for "Timber: Mine or Crop?" They may wear them a while, but long skirts never will be popular while women remember that long skirts make them look older.

"Production is conditioned upon the safety of life, the recognition by firm guarantees of private property, the sanctity of contract, and the rights of free labor," he declared. "If fundamental changes are contemplated involving due regard of persons and property and the establishment of conditions essential to the maintenance of commerce, this government will be glad to have convincing evidence of the consummation of such changes, and until this evidence is supplied, this government is unable to perceive that there is any proper basis for considering trade relations." Recent discussion in London shows that not at any time nor in any respect has the soviet government of Russia dealt honorably with Great Britain under the agreements they entered into. As a consequence, Great Britain recently issued what was practically an ultimatum to the soviets calling attention to the lack of good faith. It was British diplomacy rather than American diplomacy that was shortsighted. Recent executions in Russia The bulletin discusses very thoroughly the problems now confronting the country as a result of the lack of a forestry policy and the resulting depletion of the nation's forests by logging operations and fire. Nearly half the land area of the United States, some 822,000,000 acres, was originally forested, states the bulletin, but the forested area has now been reduced to 138,000,000 acres of virgin forest,$250,000,000 acres of comparatively inferior culled and second growth, and $1,000,000 acres of barren land, a total of slightly less than 470,000,000 acres. "Largely through timber mining the original stand of timber has been reduced from more than 5,200,000 billion board feet of virgin timber to 1600 billion board feet of virgin timber and 600 billion feet additional in culled and second-growth stands. "Seventy-five per cent of the remaining virgin timber is west of the great plains, and more than 50 per cent of all our remaining saw timber is in the three Pacific coast states; while nearly half of the lumber cut is consumed in the region east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio" IT BAKES EVENLY IT BAKES EVENLY the last word in Gas Ranges The Roper Gas Range is made to conform with the most modern engineering specifications and its burners are proven to consume the least amount of gas.
