IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of June 28, 1873. One of the pleasantest, most enjoyable affairs that ever took place in Anaheim was the "Old Felkes" concert on last Wednesday evening. Enterprise hall was crowded as it never was before, the people coming almost en masse from all parts of the county. All on the stage were "well up" in their several parts and entered fully into the spirit of "ye ancient times." Although it is invidious to make comparisons, where all were so excellent, still we cannot refrain from making special mention of the sweet voice and charming manner of Mrs. Bowley, of Westminster, and the self-possessed acting of Mr. Poor, of that place. Every portion of the performance, however, received the hearty approval of the audience, actors and spectators seemed to vie with each other in their efforts to give and receive pleasure and altogether, as we said, it was one of the most enjoyable evenings in which we have ever had the good fortune to participate. The ladies in charge express themselves much gratified at the harvest of dollars which they reaped for the good cause, and request us to offer heartfelt thanks to the good people of the community for their kind and liberal appreciation of their efforts. Deeds Filed—D. K. Williams to Mrs M. Brown, 25 by 90 feet in the easterly part of the city, lot No. 28, in Anaheim, for $100. John Errington to Arthur M. Cullen, 2 vineyard lots in Anaheim, containing 20 4:10 acres. The only business of importance transacted was the election of trustees, the choice falling upon Messrs. Olden, Fields and Schultz. The meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the trustees. Married—On June 19th, by Rev. Thomas Brown, Walter M. Parker to Miss Barbara Kraemer. On June 25, by Rev. Father Joaquin, F. W. Athearn to Mrs. S. Goodrich. Born—In Anaheim, June 24th, to the wife of D. W. C. Dimmock, a daughter. Anaheim is the nucleus around which have sprung up during the last few years many prosperous settlements. Richland (Orange), Santa Ana and Tustin City, we have heretofore described, and we now propose to impart some information concerning the Westminster colony—a settlement which is at present attracting an unusual amount of attention among the many who contemplate making their home in our part of the county. Westminster colony is a part of Las Bolsas, one of the numerous "Stearns Ranchos," and is situated about six miles in a southwesterly direction from Anaheim, and four miles northeast from Anaheim Landing. About 7000 acres are set apart for the use of the colony; 200 acres of which is only of use for grazing purposes, the balance being farming land. Before deciding to locate the colony at this place the projector, Rev. L. P. Webber, closely ex- Deeds Fled—D. K. Williams to Mrs M. Brown, 25 by 90 feet in the easterly part of the city, lot No. 28, in Anaheim, for $100. John Errington to Arthur M. Cullen, 2 vineyard lots in Anaheim, containing 20 4:10 acres, numbered as lots A1 and E1 upon a map of lands of Anaheim, consideration $9000. E. L. Goldstein to Adolph Sunol, 1 1-2 acres in the city of Anaheim, also a dwelling house and garden, being part of vineyard lot E1, provided the premises are not let or sublet, for manufacturing purposes without the consent of Goldstein, consideration $500. Election—An election of officers of Anaheim lodge, No. 199, I. O. O. F. was held last Tuesday, with the following results: J. J. Dyer, N. G.; Richard Heiman, V. G.; E. E. Nietenz R. S.; N. H.

It seemed an appalling loss. However, it appeared to be a necessary sacrifice, recompensed in a measure by the greater security of the loved ones at home. Records show, however, that the number of people killed in America by automobile accidents is more than double the number slain in an equal period of the war. Newspapers, especially in the cities, have come to make a regular department in their columns of the automobile death record. These records have become in many papers a part of the daily vital statistics, and on Mondays, and other days following a holiday, the list of killed and maimed is especially startling. The saddest feature of these deaths by accident is that virtually every one of them could have been prevented. They happen when somebody either wilfully or thoughtlessly disregard the element of danger. An old car with worn parts is driven at high speed. Columbia river basin will be overlooked. He will find that eastern Oregon calls for reclamation of arid land and for railroads, he will learn about the great Columbia basin project and he will see in the Coluribia the need of development for power and navigation. His mental vision will be broadened when he sees with his physical eyes the full breadth of the country over which he presides. He will know America in the full sense of the word. DON'TS FOR TOURISTS Are you or your friends planning to take any long tours? Don't you know all there is to know about long distance outing, or would you like to absorb a few words of warning in regard to such long trips from the touring bureau of the Auto Club of Southern California? Here are some of the "don'ts" from the club, and every one of them is important whether you are taking a long trip or a short trip—in regard to the equipment of your car and person: Don't allow the car to be without provisions or food of some sort at any time. Don't fail to have warm clothing in the outfit. The high altitudes in the west are cold and the dry air is penetrating. Don't forget the yellow goggles. In driving west you have to face the sun all afternoon and the glare is hard on the eyes. Don't Ford water without first wading through it. Don't wait until your gasoline is almost gone before filling up. There might be a delay or it might not be obtained at the next point at which it can be secured, no matter how little you need. Don't allow your water canteens to be other than full of fresh water and keep it filled. The burst of a water hose or a sudden leak in your radiator might occur between gaarges. The entire expense of a car and four seems to be little doubt about the passage of the bill if it can be reported this session for the government has expressed its approval of the idea. Southern representatives in congress for almost a century have stood for a tariff policy which would permit Great Britain to purchase our raw cotton, fabricate it, and ship it back to us duty free or nearly so. These representatives have worked hand in hand with Great Britain for the prosperity of the British textile industries. They have also met Great Britain's wishes by defeating attempts to give a very moderate subsidy to American vessels in order that they might compete with the British subsidized and highly favored merchant marine. What will the south think of the British idea of subsidizing cotton growing in Egypt, India, Australia and a number of other portions of the British empire? From 1872 to 1921—50 years—this country exported $17,124,000,000 worth of cotton, a yearly average of $242,500,000, half at least of which went to the British isles. British policy is directed toward making the empire self-sufficient; the Democratic policy would jam the United States into the league of nations and destroy her industrial independence. The greatest characters of history always have been those who were more glorious in defeat than they were in victory, but just because you've been beaten is no sign you are glorious. NEW OIL AND GAS MAP OF CALIFORNIA California, which for the last twenty years has contended with Oklahoma for the highest rank as an oil-producing state, has in the last few months advanced to a commanding lead. Its output is now nearly three-quarters of a million barrels daily, almost 50 per cent greater than that of its rival. California crude oil is now being shipped to the Atlantic seaboard by way of the Panama canal and is exerting a marked influence on the price of refined products. The rapid increase in output is due largely to the intensive development of several new fields, concerning which little has been published. A map showing the oil and gas fields of California, just issued by the department of the interior, through the geological survey, is therefore of special interest. The map, which measures 44 by 48 inches and is on the scale of 1:506.880, or 8 miles to the inch shows, the oil and gas fields in green, the pipe lines and refineries in violet, the cities, towns and railroads in gray, and the streams in blue. This map is one of a series showing the oil and gas fields of different states already published or being prepared for publication by the geological Don't ford water without first wading through it. Don't wait until your gasoline is almost gone before filling up. There might be a delay or it might not be obtained at the next point at which it can be secured, no matter how little you need. Don't allow your water canteens to be other than full of fresh water and keep it filled. The burst of a water hose or a sudden leak in your radiator might occur between gaarges. The entire expense of a car and four passengers from coast to coast, a distance of approximately 3500 miles, should not at any time exceed $5.00 per day per passenger, says the auto club. This sum will include everything except tire expense and unforeseen breakdowns. It includes gasoline, oil and all provisions, but places no restrictions upon the amount or quality of provisions, and will easily cover the requirements of the average person. HORSES NOT READY FOR THE MUSEUMS Horses are not ready for the museums yet. Although a lot of motorists seem to think that horse-drawn vehicles belong in side shows and not on the boulevards, very exciting testimony has just been received by the Auto Club of Southern California from farmers and ranchers to the effect that horses and buggies have rights on the roads of California. This is a warning to all motorists not to get "fresh" with ranchers driving their teams along country roads in the west, as a large number of these ranchers say that they are going to carry high-power, accurate rifles for the purpose of shooting holes in autoists' tires if they hit the buggies. It seems that a lot of gay auto drivers have been very careless about hitting rancher's teams or team-drawn vehicles and then failing to stop and render assistance after the accident. In some cases, sad to relate, the autoist has even twirled his fingers at the irate farmer and gone on his way laughingly. The club is warning you that if this happens again, the farmers say they are going to take some shots at the rear tires of the laughing motorist. Of course, there is something to be said on both sides of the motorist and the side of the farmer, reports the auto club. Many times a rancher driving a team of horses along the road will bull-headedly refuse to turn out and let the auto go past. Sometimes department of the interior, through the geological survey, is therefore of special interest. The map, which measures 44 by 48 inches and is on the scale of 1:506.880, or 8 miles to the inch shows, the oil and gas fields in green, the pipe lines and refineries in violet, the cities, towns and railroads in gray, and the streams in blue. This map is one of a series showing the oil and gas fields of different states already published or being prepared for publication by the geological survey. Maps of Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, West Virginia, Kentucky, and California have already been published, and may be obtained from the director of the geological survey, Washington, D.C. A charge of 50 cents a copy is made to cover costs incidental to engraving and printing. MR. HARDING AND THE WEST The voyage to Alaska will be practical proof of Mr. Harding's interest in development of the west, in the work of the pioneer. Alaska is now not only our farthest north but farthest west—the last field of action for those daring, venturesome Americans whose ambition is to battle with nature in the raw and conquer her. We may hope that, when Mr. Harding has seen the wealth that too long has awaited the energy of the pioneer, has seen also the labyrinth of bureaucracy through which that wealth must be approached, he will make some very practical recommendations to congress and will not rest from urging them on its attention. Nor is it likely that the resources and needs of Oregon and the entire BRITAIN SUBSIDY FOR COTTON An item of news which should be of interest to the southern cotton growers is that concerning the proposed British plan to subsidize the cotton growing industry of the empire, a bill to that effect having been introduced in parliament. Our commercial attack at London reports that the empire cotton bill has been given full and official sanction and support by the Empire Cotton Growing association, and is now receiving the support of the federation of British industries on the ground that it is desirable to provide a supply of raw cotton as far as possible within the empire.
