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 August 8, 1874 On Thursday last the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Richards united in paying them a social visit. Although the worthy couple were not expecting so many at one time they proved themselves equal to the occasion. Music was provided and an adjournment made to Enterprise ball where the hours were merrily and pleasantly passed in "tripping the light fantastic." Mr. Fitzgerald, a friend of Mr. E. F. Cahill and at present visiting that gentleman, met with a serious accident on Thursday He was riding a bronco which threw him violently to the ground. Mr. Delos Morton, who has lately arrived from the oil regions of Pennsylvania, has bought sixty acres of land adjoining that of Mr. L. Parker which he will at once commence improving. A contract has been awarded to P. C. McKinnie for the erection of a handsome dwelling house. Mrs. L. Parker has brought us a specimen of a grafted Siberian crab apple, measuring five inches in circumference. The root was only planted one year ago last March and Market has had his hands full for the past month in supplying the harvesters of Richland, Santa Ana and Tustin with meat. The Board of Directors of the Bolsa Chica Wharf and Forwarding company held a meeting on Saturday for the purpose of opening and acting upon proposals for the construction of the wharf. The following proposals were received: D. G. Sorenson, $30,000; J. N. Crawford, $28,900; W. Salisbury $28,200 As Mr. Salisbury's proposal was the lowest it was accepted Upon motion of Messrs. Fisher, Olden and Dicken were appointed a committee to draw up and ratify a contract with Mr. Salisbury for the performance of the work. An assessment of 45 per share was ordered and the board adjourned. Returns of the census marshals of Los Angeles County show a total of 7006 children of the qualified school age, 3079 of whom attend no school. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK August 10, 1899 Addison Dyer has returned from Laguna Beach where he spent a month's outing at his favorite resort. August Schumacher, son of J. L. Mrs L. Parker has brought us a specimen of a grafted Siberian crab apple, measuring five inches in circumference. The root was only planted one year ago last March and is considered a wonderful growth even for this wonderful country. Divine services will be held at the Catholic church on August 23rd. The next session of the Anaheim Public schools will commence on Monday night. J. K. Tuffree returned from San Francisco on Tuesday much improved in health and full of business. The Strobel homestead will be sold at public auction on August 22nd. The Anaheim Water Comapny need more money. See notice of assessment of 25 cents per share payable to Henry Werder, Esq. Mammoth oranges are not the only fruit which Mr. Hartung's vineyard yieldeth. A very acceptable lot of huge pears found their way into our office the other day from that place. C. R. Short of Orange, claims the champion pumpkin of Los Angeles County. It is eight feet, four inches in circumference one way and six feet the other and weighs one hundred and fifty pounds. General Banning was the guest of Gabriel Allen of Newport on Monday and Tuesday. We have been informed that the General's visit had some connection with a contemplated project to connect San Bernardino and Newport by rail. Arthur Lewis, as yet to fortune and fame unknown, determined to go into the pyrotechnic manufacturing business this week. He accordingly went to work and the fireworks went off prematurely. In a dark room Arthur is recovering and deliberatilg upon the reason why. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK August 10, 1899 Addison Dyer has returned from Laguna Beach where he spent a month's outing at his favorite resort. August Schumacher, son of J. L. Schumacher of this city has accepted a position as clerk at Swim's Shoe store. Mrs. Koenig and the Misses Ida and Lottie Dotter have returned from an outing at Laguna Beach. Mrs. H. P Larson and her sister, Miss Hetty Weisel departed on Tuesday morning for Honolulu.

Cole of Hardserable; Prof. Evans, principal of the high school, and D. S. Sheldon were passengers on the Santa Fe excursion to San Diego on Friday morning last They returned on Monday. The train went down in two sections and was an hour and a half late. J. K. Tuffree and wife contemplate an outing at the Capistrano Springs as soon as the threshing season is over on the Rancho Buena Vista. The Colonel will not thresh a great deal of grain but feels he has hit it off about right in turning a large area to hay. Speaking of the probability of rain next winter, he says the only two dry years in succession in his recollection apart from the present and past year were followed by a flood and adds that if ever a flood was a good proposition, next winter ought to be about the time. Judson Blick of Dawson, N. W. T., and Miss Edith Lovering of Orange-thorpe avenue were married yesterday at the home of the bride's parents. The young couple expect to depart for the north today where Mr. Blick will resume his position as superintendent of one of the largest mines in the territory. Richard Gregory of Fullerton and Mrs. Mohiel Schultze of Orangetherme Arthur Lewis, as yet to fortune and fame unknown, determined to go into the pyrotechnic manufacturing business this week. He accordingly went to work and the fireworks went off prematurely. In a dark room Arthur is recovering and deliberatilg upon the reason why. Mr. A. Lobe, connected with the house of Wangenheim, Sternheim and Co., importers of crockery and chinaware of San Francisco, paid our editorial rooms a pleasant visit yesterday. The following deeds were filed in the recorder's office during the week: Tim Carrol, to John Fisher, house lot No. 53, Los Angeles street, Anaheim, $250—Jacob Keller to James Furness, part of vineyard lot C-3, Anaheim fronting 60 feet on Los Angeles street $450. The outlaw, Moreno, whose death was chronicled last week, had just completed a three year's term at San Quentin, when he came to Anaheim in May. He was arrested in Los Angeles by City Marshal Warren on a charge of burglary, convicted of the same and taken to prison by Sheriff Rowland. The Los Angeles Express is incorrect in stating that Mr. D. Lewis of El Monte is the only farmer in the county who makes a specialty of raising hops. Mr. John B. Raine, living about two miles north-east of this place has been for several years engaged in hop culture. He has over twenty acres in his hop plantation. B. F. Smith of the Richland Meat Judson Blick of Dawson, N. W. T., and Miss Edith Lovering of Orange-thorpe avenue were married yesterday at the home of the bride's parents. The young couple expect to depart for the north today where Mr. Blick will resume his position as superintendent of one of the largest mines in the territory. Richard Gregory of Fullerton and Miss Mabel Schulte of Orangethorpe were married at the home of the bride's parents, on last Wednesday afternoon. Rev. J. H. Scott, officiating Mr. and Mrs. Gregory will reside in their residence south of the Fullerton depot. Jos. S. Hatfield was married at Fresno on Monday afternoon to Mrs. Emma Miles Miller of that city. The happy couple will reside in this city. Miss Mary Bauer is home from Los Angeles to visit with her parents. She will also spend a week with the family of Jacob Wintter on Orange-thorpe avenue. Lornie Bentz, the fifteen year old son of George Bentz of West Anaheim was thrown from his horse on Friday and broke one of the bones of his right hand. Dr. Eddy reports the boy recovering from his injuries. Claud Stough, who has been at work with the Grand Brothers grading outfit working on the railway line on Santa Ana and Olive streets is taking a lay off until the return of the outfit to complete the Placentia line. There are 170 children at St. Catherine's orphanage. Mrs. Fannie Higgins, who has been spending a couple of weeks with her relatives in town will return to Los Angeles to take up her duties as a nurse in the California hospital. Bill Hill's thresher has been turning about 700 sacks of grain per day up on the La Habra. Much of the grain is good, going as high as 118 to 120 pounds to the sack. Mr. Hill estimates the yield will be 15,000 sacks. A meeting of bicyclists is called to assemble at the city hall on Wednesday evening the 16th at 8 o'clock for the purpose of hearing the report of the committee appointed to select the route for a bicycle path two ways through town. The path will be about three feet wide and the estimate cost is $250. How many bicycles there are in this vicinity it would be hard to say, but one day last week Mr. Brown counted 62 on Center street at one time. If the plan is successful in town the scheme is to extend it outlying districts. The call for this meeting is signed by W. T. Brown, Herman Dickel, E. W. McCollum, P. A. Derge, J. A. Whann, F. Ahlborn, August Backs and Max Nebeling. Mrs. John Rimpau and child of Yuma, Arizona, is spending the summer with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Everhardy. Theodore Flotaw died at the residence of George Click on Tuesday. Deceased was a native of Germany and was 82 years of age. Mrs. C. G. McKinley and daughter, Fay left on Tuesday for a fortnight's outing at Long Beach. Mr Wilkie's ten year old son, Joseph is ill with typhoid fever. Dr. savings have been correspondingly applied so that the debt has been reduced from a maximum of about $26,000,000,000 to about twenty-one billion. What has been accomplished in the past twelve months is shown by the statement of the public debt on June 30, 1924. This statement shows that the net debt, the gross debt less the balance of cash in the general fund, is $21,015,401,481, as compared with $21,978,769,244 one year previous. This shows a reduction in the net debt of $963,000,000. The reduction in the gross debt amounts to a little more than a billion dollars. Records do not show the rate of interest borne by the bonds that were paid off, but is was probably about 4½ per cent, as that is the rate most of the bonds bore. A reduction of a billion dollars in the debt will mean a saving of $42,500,000 a year, or, on an average, about $2 per family per year on this one item. Of course each family does not realize that it has been paying this on account of interest, for the money to pay is collected largely through income taxes and the people who pay the income tax add it to the price of goods or services. Nevertheless, the saving has been accomplished by the Republican Administration and that other savings pave the way for reductions of taxes. There was such a reduction in the recent session of Congress and if the economy program can be kept up, there will be further reductions in the future. With a record such as this, it is natural for the people of the country to approve the record of the Coolidge Administration and to ask, "why change?" 1924 BEET SUGAR CROP SHOWS 25 PER CENT GAIN and costly sub-issue.

Theodore Flotaw died at the residence of George Click on Tuesday. Deceased was a native of Germany and was 82 years of age. Mrs. C. G. McKinley and daughter, Fay left on Tuesday for a fortnight's outing at Long Beach. Mr Wilkie's ten year old son, Joseph is ill with typhoid fever. Dr. Johnston is attending the case and pronounces the lad seriously ill. Roman Wisser received a letter from Jake Yaeger on Tuesday dated Capistrano, August 7th, stating that the bear which had been prowling about the hills and canyons of that section for several years past had been killed. It weighed 1100 pounds. L. A. Mendleson of Capistrano brought two of the bears' feet to Santa Ana on Tuesday He reported that the bear was killed by H. A. Stewart and Walter Manriquez at the head of San Mateo canyon, ten miles from Capistrano on Saturday The bear measured four feet from ground to shoulder, seven feet from the nose to the tip of the tail, and the spread of his arms was seven and one half feet. He was the largest specimen killed in Southern California for years and had been seen in the San Juan mountains for a number of years past. NEARLY BILLION FOR INTEREST The largest single item of expense 'to which the national government is now subject is interest on the public debt. In round numbers, this item called for $940,000,000 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1924. This was a reduction of $40,000,000 as compared with the previous year and thanks to the zealous efforts of President Coolidge, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and Director of the Budget Dawes, together with the appropriation committees of Congress, there will be a further cut in this item next year. The only way to cut the expenditures for interest is to cut the interest bearing debt, and this is a task to which the Republican Administration has bent its energies with unceasing determination. The only way to cut the debt is to save money from the revenues, and this the administration has been doing. The money saved reduction in the recent session of Congress and if the economy program can be kept up, there will be further reductions in the future. With a record such as this, it is natural for the people of the country to approve the record of the Coolidge Administration and to ask, "why change?" 1924 BEET SUGAR CROP SHOWS 25 PER CENT GAIN American farmers have planted 915,000 acres to sugar beets this year as compared with 733,000 acres in 1923 and 606,000 acres in 1922, reports Fact About Sugar. This is a gain of nearly 25 per cent over the area devoted to the crop last year, and with favorable growing conditions should result in the production of over two billion pounds of sugar. Colorado is the leading state in the extent of its sugar beet plantings, having 237,301 acres. Next comes Michigan with 155,176 acres, Utah, 96,368 acres, California 92,362 acres, Nebraska 68,372 acres, Idaho 58,522 acres Ohio 56,513 acres, Wisconsin 34,200 acres, Wyoming 26,306 acres and Iowa 25,200 acres. The remaining 68,000 acres is scattered among a number of states, including Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Kansas, Montana, Nevada and New Mexico. The crop has suffered from dry weather in Southern California Utah and Idaho and the tenhage in these states probably will not be much higher than last year in spite of the increased acreage. In the Rocky Mountain section and in the central states the condition of the crop is fully up to the average of previous years and in some localities better than the average. In Michigan field conditions are exceptionally good. While the gross value of the crop probably will be larger than in any one of the past three years farmers are not likely to obtain as large a revenue per acre from sugar beets as they did in 1923. On account of the prospective increase in the crop, combined with a heavy production of cane sugar in Hawaii, Porto Rico and Cuba, prices are at present nearly three cents a pound lower than a year ago. Resumed sugar is quoted wholesale in New York at 6.40 cents a pound as compared with 9.25 cents in July, 1923.

Attorneys for Plaintiffs THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SEND GREETINGS TO: THE ODD FELLOWS HALL BUILDING ASSOCIATION, also all other persons unknown, claiming any right title, estate, lien or interest in the real property described in the complaint adverse to plaintiffs' ownership or any cloud upon plaintiffs' title thereto, Defendants. YOU ARE HEREBC 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 plaintiffs will take judgement for any money or damages demanded in the complaint, or it will apply to the Court for any other relief demanded in the complaint. That the object of said action is to determine the adverse claims to and clouds upon the title to the real property described in the plaintiffs' complaint herein, which said real property is situated in the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, and is described as follows: Lot Fifteen (15), in Block "D", of the Subdivision of Vineyard Lot "DS", as shown on a map recorded in Book 34, Page 592, of Deeds, Records of Los Angeles County, California, except the Westerly 8 feet of said real property heretofore conveyed to the City of Anaheim for street purposes. Said property is also particularly described as follows: Beginning at the Southwesterly corner of said Lot 15, which said point of beginning is 26.25 feet Easterly and 27.75 feet Northerly from a cement monument marking the point of intersection of the monumented center line of North Los Budget Dawes, together with the appropriation committees of Congress, there will be a further cut in this item next year. The only way to cut the expenditures for interest is to cut the interest bearing debt, and this is a task to which the Republican Administration has bent its energies with unceasing determination. The only way to cut the debt is to save money from the revenues, and this the administration has been doing. The money saved from the revenues is promptly applied to the payment of the debt, whereupon the saving in interest follows. That is a plain matter of good business, a policy that good business men pursue in their private affairs, although few public officials adopt such a measure. From the very beginning of the Republican regime, reduction of the debt has been one of the prime objects. In fact, the retrenchment policy began before the inauguration of President Harding in 1921, for the Republicans got control of Congress in 1919 and cut $3,890,000,000 out of the demands of the Democratic Administration. President Harding pushed the economy movement with ardor giving the first Director of the Budget Dawes, his most cordial support, vigorous action for the curtailment of expenses. The same backing was given General Lord who has been no less zealous in the same direction. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been saved in expenditures and the money applied to the reduction of the debt. The interest bearing debt reached its height in August, 1919. By forcing reduction of expenses during the last two years of the Wilson regime the Republican Congress saved money which was applied to the debt while the Democratic President was still in office.

Sample to congress. Contrary to broadcast reports that the big landholders are the main objectors to the all-American canal, comes the following letter to the Gazette today from C. J. Bradshae, owner of 70 acres of irrigated land near El Centro. "After careful study of the all American canal project I have decided I cannot afford to support such a measure or a candidate who champions it. The canal would work a tremendous hardship on me, with the result that I would have to vacate land I have worked industriously on for the past four years. "I am sure hundreds of other valley small land dwellers like myself realize the danger of indebting our land by constructing a canal that will not serve us any better than our present system. These men will support Senator Ed P. Sample for election to congress on his announcement that he will labor to bring about immediate flood control of the Colorado river instead of working for an undesirable venue per acre from sugar beets as they did in 1923. On account of the prospective increase in the crop, combined with a heavy production of cane sugar in Hawaii, Porto Rico and Cuba, prices are at present nearly three cents a pound lower than a year ago.

It came from everywhere. That money was swindled out of people in every state, every county, every town and city. It didn't come from any particular region. It was taken from the folks who needed HOMES, from farmers who needed BARNS, from unfortunates here, there and everywhere who were actually in need of many, many things in the line of shelter. At $5600 each that money would have built 100,000 beautiful home would have provided shelter of an attractive character for half a million people.
