IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Gulled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK November 14, 1874. November 21, 1874. The ladies are making great preparations for the fair for the benefit of the Episcopal church to take place on the 16th of December. Among the contributions received by the management, was a box of fancy articles and indescribable gew-gaws presented by Mr. Loebe of the firm of E. Meyer & Co., of Los Angeles, for which the ladies are properly grateful. We don't know that it is any of our business but nevertheless we can not refrain from expressing our pleasure whilst noting the fact that friend Hutton, of Los Angeles has so worthily filled the position of City Attorney that no one cares to oppose him. Mitchell returned from Panamint on Wednesday. He says that there are seven hundred men, ten women and four inches of snow up there and that at the present time the thermometer and all kinds of labor are below zero. Owing to the presence of cold and the absence of lumber it promises to be a most lively "camp" when spring opens. On Wednesday evening the rain, which the clerk of the weather had been promising for the last ten or twelve days past, commenced to descend in a gentle, though steady fruct- ace Greeley, born February 2, 1812, died November 29, 1872. Marshal Bazain has gone to Madrid to reside permanently. He will take an active part in Spanish politics—Speaker Blaine has positively declined to be a candidate for the U. S. Senate from Maine. Four convicts escaped from San Quentin on last Sunday by opening their cell doors with false keys. There are in circulation counterfeit half dollars of the date of 1871, so perfect an imitation of the genuine that great care is needed to detect them. Four wheat cargoes were cleared from the port of San Francisco for England on Tuesday. One of the vessels carried 10,000 barrels of flour or Liverpool—Gen. Longstreet has assigned from the Election Returning board of Louisiana because of ill health. Ex-Congressman J. M. Sandige, Democrat has been appointed to succeed him. 25 YEARS AGO TODAY November 23, 1899. Harris and Falkenstein have been engaged during this week in unpacking their stock of gent's clothing and furnishing goods, following after the painters as rapidly as the paint dried. Their lineof drygoods will be opened and placed on display in time for their opening on Saturday next. Three are lights have been installed in their stores, together with numerous incan- and four inches of snow up there and that at the present time the thermometer and all kinds of labor are below zero. Owing to the presence of cold and the absence of lumber it promises to be a most lively "camp" when spring opens. On Wednesday evening the rain, which the clerk of the weather had been promising for the last ten or twelve days past, commenced to descend in a gentle, though steady fructifying shower. It lasted almost continuously through the night, and on yesterday morning the rain gauge had marked one and one quarter inch of rain. As we go to press there are no indications of a continuance of wet weather. Sol is beaming in a joyful and semi-tropical manner. Next Thursday will be Thanksgiving day. Mrs. Kuelp has lost her white goat if anybody knows where it is, they will be kind enough to inform the owner. A child of Randolph Congdon, of San Juan Capistrano, was seriously injured on last Sunday by a fall from a fence. Enterprise Hall Saloon is receiving embellishment at the hands of a painter. The agricultural department of Helmann & George is located under the Gazette office. They have a fine line of agricultural machinery. The San Joaquin artesian well is down three hundred feet and no stream of water has been reached. At Mr. Langenberger's store there is the "cutest" novelty in the shape of a mouse-trap that we have ever seen, and it would answer admirably for gophers too. Mr. E. T. Cahill has leased his vineyard for one year to a Mr. Haggerty. Mrs. Schneider has also rented her vineyard for the same length of time to Daniel Schmidt. The Orizaba which leaves San Francisco this morning is the fourth steamer which has left that port for Anaheim Landing during the present week. The Board of Supervisors met on 25 YEARS AGO TODAY November 23, 1899 Harris and Falkenstein have been engaged during this week in unpacking their stock of gent's clothing and furnishing goods, following after the painters as rapidly as the paint dried. Their lineof drygoods will be opened and placed on display in time forthir opening on Saturday next. Three are lights have been installed in their stores, together with numerous incandescentes. The stock which will be offered for sale by this enterprising new firm will be one of the newest and best ever brought to Orange county. The goods are fresh from the wholesalers, and make a very neat and creditable appearance. From all indications we should say that Anaheim is now to have a drygoods store that will compare favorably with any in Southern California. The firm has employed Miss Belle Negus of this city, Guy Lovering of Orangetherpe avenue and Gus Weferling, of Los Angeles, as clerks and Messrs. Harris and Falkenstein will also be on hand to wait upon their customers. Read their new advertisement on the second page, and whether or not you receive one of their handsome invitation cards to attend their opening on Saturday, go and see what an up-to-date department stire (including drygoods, gents furnishings, shoes, groceries and produce) this new firm is establishing. Samuel Kraemer was in town on Monday. He is rejoiced that he cast his lot with the Anaheim Walnut Association this year, inasmuch as he is several hundred dollars ahead as a result. He is a firm believer in the association of all growers and remembers the time, not so many years ago, before the exchange was formed, when Earle had the nerve to offer him 25c a box for his oranges picked and delivered at the packing house. With such prices prevailing, one might just as well grub up his trees. Now-a-days this association pays $1 per box which makes orange growing pay fairly well. Reckining 90 orange trees to the acre, and each tree producing five boxes, he considers the business fairly remunerative. He has trees on his place 12 years old which produce 15 boxes. His walnuts this year sold in some lots as high as 10 cents per pound. He is a firm believer in the necessity for the construction of a reservoir by the Water Company, and says if one were to continue with this month. Last week put up.

All present except Supervisor Machado. The contract for building three bridges over the Anaheim and Wilmington road was awarded to Hayes & Polhemus for $2,995, the contractors giving bond for the faithful performance of the work in the sum of $6,000. Mr. Barce was appointed superintendent over the construction of these bridges. It was ordered that the clerk advertise for sealed proposals to build a bridge over San Jose creek on the Spadra and Anaheim road, and also for proposals to repair the bridge over the New San Gabriel river.

He is a firm believer in the necessity for the construction of a reservoir by the Water Company, and says if one were constructed he would lay out a large new acreage of naval orange trees on his ranch east of Placentia. Judge J. B. Pierce has filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States District Court in Los Angeles. He owes $496.90 and lists assets to the amount of $7,882 of which amount $4,700 is in real estate, and $2,410 is claimed to be exempt. This is the second time the Judge has gone through bankruptcy, the first time having been back in the 70's.

Painter Whally is decorating Dr. Johnston's office on Los Angeles street with a new coat of paint. Gus Hansen was in town from Orangethorpe yesterday. He said it was a fine rain. Mrs. Hanna reports the loss of 25 chickens by thieves the past fortnight and informs us that Mrs. W. J. Hill has lost 50 by similar means. The thieves are supposed to be an organized band foraging out of Los Angeles. James Forbes, one of the properous Placentia ranchers, was in town on Saturday and made a pleasant call on this office. Clarence Groat came down from Los Angeles on Monday on his way to the Dolla Chica shooting grounds. He has been engaged to lower the wier way of the dam across the channel some two feet to meet with the views of the Peatland farmers who complain that its present height interferes with the proper drainage of their lands. The cannery is still running on tomatoes, and if no frost occurs the season will continue until the end of the month. Last week 20,000 cans were put up. The rainfall for the season up to yesterday at 8 o'clock, when the measurement was taken at Mr. Dickel's gauge, amounts to 2.20 inches. Last year to date we had no rain. Mr. J. B. Neff has our thanks for a fine lot of peaches. Think of peaches picked from the trees in November. and is now on display in Prescott. Although the largest producer of copper, Arizona naturally is but a small consumer of the red metal as compared with the thickly settled and highly developed industrial sections of the east, and the exhibit of copper and brass products has been all the more interesting here on that account. The display includes several hundred products used in the building, automotive and other industries, and shows numerous ornamental and novelty uses as well. Incidentally, it is reported that the exhibit has caused greater attention to the use of copper and brass products in this state. A VIVID ILLUSTRATION Senator Cousins, who is reported to have received $33,000,000 for his share in the Ford Motor Company, paid an income tax last year of $5,678. Secretary Mellon, also wealthy, paid a tax of $1,173,987. The disparity is accounted for by the fact that the Senator's capital is invested in tax-exempt securities, while that of the Secretary is in productive enterprise, the income from which is taxable. No criticism can be attached to Senator Couzens for keeping his money where it will bring him the highest possible net return, regardless of its effect on Federal revenue. But his small income tax is a vivid illustration of how high surtax rates induce the withdrawal of wealth from taxable enterprise and its investment in tax-exempt bonds. Hundreds of millions of the country's wealth thus escapes their just share of the cost of government, thereby increasing the share paid by persons of modest incomes. President Coolidge has worked increasingly for a reduction in surtax rates to the point where the net income to the owner of a sound taxable bond will approximate the income from a tax-exempt bond. Those rates exhibit them with the necessary vouchers within ten months after the first publication of this notice to the said Executor at 706 North Lemon Street, Anaheim, County of Orange, California, which the undersigned selects as a place of business in Orange County in all matters connected with the said estate, or at the office of L. A. Lewis, 1226 Citizens National Bank Building, Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, California, or to file them with the necessary vouchers within ten months after the first publication of this notice in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Orange, at Santa Ana, California. Dated September 5, 1924. O. A. BLATTNER, Executor of said Estate. L. A. Lewis, Attorney, 1225 Citizens National Bank Building, Los Angeles, California. NOTICE INVITING BIDS Santa Ana, Cal., Aug. 12, 1924 In pursuance of a resolution of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, California, adopted August 12, 1924, directing this notice, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the said Board will receive at its office at the Court House at Santa Ana, at or before the hour of 11 o'clock A.M. of September 2, 1924, sealed bids or proposals for the grading and paving of a portion of Grand Avenue and the construction of a reinforced concrete bridge. Bids must be made on the form provided for the purpose, addressed to the Board of Supervisors, Orange County, California, marked, "Bid for Grand Avenue." The work to be done in accordance with the profiles, plans and specifications adopted by the Board of Supervisors, on file in the office of said Board and in the office of the County Superintendent of Highways in the Hall of Records. The bidder must submit with his proposal a satisfactory check certified by a responsible bank and payable to the order of the County of Orange, or a bidder's bond for an amount not less than five (5) per cent of the aggregate sum of the bid, as a guarantee WARNING TO INVESTORS His action prompted by a ruling of the Superior Court of Sacramento County, Edwin M. Daugherty, State Corporation Commissioner, has issued a warning to investors to "look before they leap," when inclined to invest in securities in this state. "Investors not only should make a careful investigation as to the future of concerns in which they feel tempted to purchase stock, but should know and have confidence in the officers of those cancers," he Commissioner said. The state official's warning followed a ruling of the Sacramento Superior Court in the criminal prosecution of H. M. Mitchell and four other directors of the Modern Laundry Company. They were charged with violations of the "Blue Sky" Law. The court held the books and records of the company would not be held as evidence and the case was dismissed upon the request of the prosecuting attorneys, who felt they could not proceed successfully without this evidence. "The Corporation Department does not criticise the court for its ruling, which is the second of its kind in recent months," Commissioner Daugherty said. "But the stand taken by the Courts in the Sacramento case and one other San Francisco case, ties hands of the Department and prosecuting officers who depend upon the books of a company to reveal whether it is solvent or if its money has been squandered or otherwise expended illegally. It is probable that these rulings, while not final, may be followed in other cases. This would in many cases take from prosecuting officers and the Department, one of the chief weapons of protection to investors, namely, successful prosecution of drawal of wealth from taxable enterprise and its investment in tax-exempt bonds. Hundreds of millions of the country's wealth thus escapes their just share of the cost of government, thereby increasing the share paid by persons of modest incomes. President Coolidge has worked unceasingly for a reduction in surtax rates to the point where the net income to the owner of a sound taxable bond will approximate the income from a tax ex-ampt bond. Those rates were included in the Mellon tax plan presented to Congress at the last session, but ignored by the Democrats and radical combination that wrote the income sections of the 1924 exc law. Mr. Coolidge has pledged himself to bend all his energies to get a tax law dictated less by political considerations and more by sound economic principles. It remains to be seen whether the majority of Congress will stand by him in that endeavor.

FAMOUS COPPER EXHIBIT Arizona, largest producer of roper, has been given a new insight into the multitudinous uses to which her famous red metal is put by the copper and brass products exhibit, which has been shown throughout the state during the past nine months, in the opinion of officials of civic organizations which have displayed the exhibit in their respective communities. The exhibit was sent to this state last fall by the Copper and Brass Research Association in New York, for showing at the 1924 state fair, at the suggestion of the Arizona Industrial Congress. It created so much attention at the fair, that the Arizona chapter of the American Mining Congress arranged with the Industrial Congress to offer it for display in all cities of the state.
