IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK From Gazette of April 18, 1874. Mr. Louis Mendelson of the San Rafael Mining District is in town. Three-sixteenths of an inch of rain fell on Saturday and Sunday. Teams loaded with wool are arriving at Anaheim Landing every day. Sin Si Wau, indicted for nuisance was found not guilty and discharged. Until the first day of July the poll tax will be $2.00. After that time it will be considered delinquent and one dollar will be added. The notches on our tally sticks show that we are well advanced in the month of April, but the wind of the past week would lead a stranger to believe that it was still March. We understand that an effort will be made to induce the artesian well driver, who is now in Los Angeles, to bring his machinery to Anaheim. Mr. Sheffield will sink for artesian water on his vineyard. Next Saturday the Odd Follows of Anaheim and Orange will celebrate the anniversary of their natal day by from China to San Francisco every fourteen days, and one from San Francisco to New York at the same intervals. Telegraphic Gleamings—Laura D. Fair is living in Washington under the assumed name of Mrs. M. J. Leeds. Large quantities of artificial ice are now being manufactured in London by the vaporization of ether. City officers of Eutaw, Alabama are elected "for two years unless sooner shot by enraged constituents." The whole production of precious metals in the world during 1873 is said to be worth $219,000,000. Constantinople recently overwhelmed with snow causing great suffering to the Turks. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK From Gazette of April 20, 1899. Charley Neipp, son of Michael Neipp, is in the Philippines serving in the Twenty-third United States regulars. He has been in Manila six weeks. Charley has sent home a package of Manila papers, which his father has kindly brought to this office for the exchange editor. The sounds of joyous revelry emanating from the residence of Joseph Backs on Monday evening were in consequence of the celebration of the We understand that an effort will be made to induce the artesian well driver, who is now in Los Angeles, to bring his machinery to Anaheim. Mr. Sheffield will sink for artesian water on his vineyard. Next Saturday the Odd Follows of Anaheim and Orange will celebrate the anniversary of their natal day by an open air festival in the grounds of the late Major Strobel, to be followed by a dance at Enterprise Hall in the evening of the same day. An inspection of the names of the gentlemen composing the committee of arrangements will prove to every one that it will be a most enjoyable affair, and that much pleasure will be lost by those who are so unfortunate as to be absent. Much annoyance has been caused lately by the many drunken Indians lying around the street. It would be well for those who have been guilty of supplying them with "fire water" to be more guarded in the future, inasmuch as selling liquor to an Indian is a misdemeanor, and punishable with fine and imprisonment. Among the notable arrivals of the past week were S. K. Holman formerly of the Pacific Mall Steamship company and our good friend Dr. Griffin of Los Angeles. The doctor was merely recreating himself in the companionship of his many friends, but we understand that it is Mr. Holman's intention to locate permanently in this place. Rumors of Vasquez—A dispatch came to Deputy Sheriff Byrd on Thursday morning, stating that Vasquez, with four men, had been seen in the vicinity of the old Mission San Gabriel, and instructing him to start in pursuit with a posse of six men. Owing to a want of horses it was impossible to comply with those instructions until too late. On that same day Sheriff Rowland with posse left Los Angeles for the same purpose, and although they approached so nearly to the party as to be unable to see their features, they had made no capture up to latest accounts. It appears that the party, supposed to be Vasquez and followers, had gone to the house of one A. Retpetto and demanded $800 from him. They gave him a certain time to raise this amo- Charley Neipp, son of Michael Neipp, is in the Philippines serving in the Twenty-third United States regulars. He has been in Manila six weeks. Charley has sent home a package of Manila papers, which his father has kindly brought to this office for the exchange editor. The sounds of joyous revelry emanating from the residence of Joseph Backs on Monday evening were in consequence of the celebration of the twenty-third birthday of the son of gentleman, Joe Backs, Jr. is one of Anaheim's most popular young men and many were the wishes for happily returns of his birthday. Marshal Steadman has been reducing his weight by taking a hand in laying the two inch pipe supplying the cannery with water. Mrs. Sandilands, mother of Gerald and Forbes Sandilands, arrived on Monday from the east and will remain on the ranch in Placentia for a short stay. W. E. Craig and wife left for Long Beach on Monday for the summer. During his absence Frank Dyer will be in charge of the tonsorial establishment lately presided over by both. R. Wisser, Ed. Kraemer, Fred Allec and Joe Pauchon left in Kraemer's three-seater on Monday morning for a fortnights trip to Bear Valley, to hunt bears and have an outing. Frank Porter, the well known Orangetharpe avenue horticulturist and walnut expert, was in town one evening last week. He informs us the walnut trees are beginning to bud out freely, but it is yet too early by some weeks to judge of the extent or character of the coming crop. Mrs. Gustave Hansen of Orange-thorpe avenue gave a delightful at home last Thursday afternoon, the occasion being the twentieth anniversary of her marriage. The guests among whom were Mesdames Cahen, Melrose, Hartung, Derge, Rust, Perdomo, Dickel, Turck and Misses Jesie and Winifred Melrose, Melanie Cahen and Freda Derge, were driven out in the tally-ho. The hostess and her two charming daughters were found waiting to receive them. Elaborate refreshments were served in the dining room. The house was exquisitely decorated for the occasion. possible to comply with those instructions until too late. On that same day Sheriff Rowland with posse left Los Angeles for the same purpose, and although they approached so nearly to the party as to be unable to see their features, they had made no capture up to latest accounts. It appears that the party, supposed to be Vasquez and followers, had gone to the house of one A. Retpetto and demanded $800 from him. They gave him a certain time to raise this amount and allowed him to send a boy to Los Angeles to cash a check. By this boy sheriff Rowland was informed of the presence of the bandits and upon his report the pursuit was organized. The robbers retreated up the Arrayo Seco towards the Tajunga Mountains. Mr. Frank Lafansherie has been appointed agent for several kinds of agricultural machinery. He informs us that he can give better terms than any other middle man that treads Anaheim soil. Ex-Senator Maclay has purchased the San Fernando ranch in this county. This rancho embraces 55,000 acres of land and it is the intention of the owner to divide it into small tracts. Dr. J. C. Phillips, a dentist of reputation will be in Anaheim on the 28th and 29th and intends to soon take up his permanent residence among us. Married—April 15th, 1874, by Alex Bailey, J. P., A.

The guests among whom were Mesdames Cahen, Melrose, Hartung, Derge, Rust, Perdomo, Dickel, Turck and Misses Jessie and Winifred Melrose, Melanie Cahen and Freda Derge, were driven out in the tally-ho. The hostess and her two charming daughters were found waiting to receive them. Elaborate refreshments were served in the dining room. The house was exquisitely decorated for the occasion. Mrs. Julius Schneider entertained the Ladies' Euchre club delightfully on Thursday afternoon. The spacious parlors and hall were beautifully decorated with roses and wisteria. Progressive euchre was played, won by Miss Sophie Rimpau; the second, a jardinere, by Mrs. Shanley, and the third, a celery dish, by Mrs. A. Rimpau, while Mrs. Harrison carried off the consolation. Delicious refreshments were served after which the guests took leave of their hostess to meet in May with Mrs. Zeus.

Sam Federman came down from Los Angeles for a short visit on Monday. Mrs. Mottram came over from Santa Ana where she is temporarily staying and spent Sunday with Mrs. Cahen. THE HIGHWAY PROBLEM The great problem now confronting California is how to get the maximum service out of its main highways. This is indicated in activities of the recently appointed advisory highway commission named by the governor to get data and make recommendations for a state highway program. Among the discoveries of the new commission is that the public does not seem to appreciate fully the fact that roads are now fundamental business propositions of the state, county and communities, and not merely a luxury to be obtained by occasional bond issues. The necessity for adequate maintenance is shown in a check which reveals that traffic on state highways alone has increased 57 per cent in BRYAN FAR FROM A DEAD ONE Keep your eyes on William Jennings Bryan, who, it is charged, is laying his plans to capture the Democratic convention—not for himself, but for the candidate of his choice. Mr. Bryan has been fighting Senator Underwood in the South. He goes about indorsing primary candidates who run in opposition to Mr. Underwood. This action may be attributed to the old feud which dates as far back as 1911, when Mr. Underwood as head of the ways and means committee of the House is said to have declined to accept Mr. Bryan's advice as to how the tariff should be modified. But Southern Democrats ascribe more to Mr. Bryan's acts than the mere desire to prevent Mr. Underwood getting a large vote in the convention. They believe he wants to split the first and succeeding ballots as widely as possible, deadlocking the convention for a long time. And then—and then Mr. Bryan will get up and in one of those speeches for which he is so famous he will attempt to swing the convention in an emotional outburst to the candidate whose name Mr. Bryan carries up his sleeve. Those who consider Mr. Bryan politically dead and without influence know neither Mr. Bryan nor the type of Democrat who goes to the national convention from the corn bolt. Mr. Bryan is under no hallucination regarding his own chances of being nominated. Thrice he has run for president, and thrice he has failed. The 1924 convention promises to be split even worse than that of 12 years ago—and Mr. Bryan is thus offered another chance. It would be no more than characteristic of him to take it. SERIOUS IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA H. G. ARCHIBALD, Plaintiff VS. JOE SIEGLE, Defendant Action brought in the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, and the Complaint filed in the office of the Clerk of said County of Orange. J. F. CONKEY, Attorney for Plaintiff THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SEND GREETINGS TO JOE SIEGLE, Defendant. You are hereby directed to appear and answer the Complaint in an action entitled as above brought against you in the Superior Court of the County of Orange State of California, within ten days after the service on you of this summons, if served within this county, or within thirty days if served elsewhere. And you are hereby notified that unless you appear and answer as above required, the said Plaintiff will take judgment for any money or damages demanded in the complaint, arising upon contract or plaintiff. Among the discoveries of the new commission is that the public does not seem to appreciate fully the fact that roads are now fundamental business propositions of the state, county and communities, and not merely a luxury to be obtained by occasional bond issues. The necessity for adequate maintenance is shown in a check which reveals that traffic on state highways alone has increased 57 per cent in three years. In the more rapidly growing districts the increase has been considerably more. While there is no question that new highways are needed and always will be needed, it is considered that the most important work at the present time is in the maintenance and reconstruction of roads already built, which are the connecting links between the main population centers. Included in the subject of maintenance must be considered safety, avoidance of congestion, grade crossing elimination, replacement of obsolete and inadequate bridges, widening and strengthening and elimination of dangerous curves. It is believed that the advisory highway commission will bring into cooperation the best thought and experience in the state to develop a definite, practical, and economical program. The resources of the Automobile Club of Southern California are being devoted to this end, and it is expected that all intelligently directed highway activities will join in the state program to bring the highways to a higher state of efficiency. FEDERATED CLUBS TO MEET AT PLACENTIA The annual convention of the Federation of Women's clubs of Orange county will be held on Thursday, April 24, at the Round Table Club House in Placentia.
