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 December 5, 1874. Rev. C. Gridley has sent to the Gazette office a sixteen pound sweet potato grown on his ranch. And this is a good place to mention the 168-pound pumpkin grown on John Goodell's place and on exhibition at P. Davis & Bro's store. Reiser's brewery is being pushed rapidly toward completion. In another column S. Nordlinger, the enterprising Los Angeles jeweler calls attention to his superb line of holiday goods. A number of gentlemen are agitating the formation of a debating club. Those desiring to become members are requested to apply personally by letter to M. A. Mendelson. Judge O'Melveny is now taking the action required of him by law to dedicate public land to San Juan Capistrano as a town site. He has examined the maps and surveys and is now preparing his certificate. Mr. W. M. McFadden returned from his eastern tour on Tuesday. Barring the loss of his pocket book containing some valuable papers and money his trip was an exteremely agreeable one. Westminster Items.—Our town is S. D. Smith, F. La Rue, Dr. W. C. Cowan, Geo. Engelhardt, Alexander Henry, Z. W. McChesney and G. W. Lawrence. The jury returned a verdict of murder in the first degree, and imprisonment for life. Sixty vessels ladened with lumber and consigned to James McFadden have discharged their cargoes at Newport Landing during the present season and the demand for lumber still continues. The newspapers are chronicling the significant fact that Joaquin Miller has had his hair cut. This confirms the humor that he is about to resume matrimonial relations with Mrs. Miller. President Grant is busy writing his message. Through the courtesy of Major Ben Truman, of the Los Angeles Star, he have been favored with a copy of its recently published work entitled 25 YEARS AGO TODAY December 7, 1899 Miss Anne Everhardy entertained the Social Evening club and a few guests at cards and dancing Tuesday evening at the Del Campo hotel.

Mr. Fleming is all ready to commence building his home and the dwelling of Messrs. Josiah McCoy, Sampson Edwards, J. Cary and Mr. Shaw are approaching completion. On Saturday a fire started and as a Santa Ana wind was blowing it threatened to do considerable damage. A shed and several tons of hay belonging to Mr. James McFadden was consumed. Episcopal Fair.—On the evening of December 16th the people of Anaheim and surrounding country will assemble at Enterprise hall for the double purpose of enjoying themselves and helping to swell another fund for the erection of an Episcopal house of worship. The preparations have been going on for some months under the supervision of the ladies of the congregation and many new features will be introduced which will be an innovation on the usual mode of conducting church fairs. An extensive art gallery will be arranged to which the particular attention of all lovers of the beautiful is especially drawn. At the different tables will be found many useful and ornamental articles offered for sale, and the near approach of the Christmas holidays will no doubt induce many persons to invest in the purchase of articles suitable for presents. The Fair will open at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and an elegant supper, turkey, chicken pies and cake ad lib—will be served between the hours of 5 and 9 p.m. The price of admission has been placed at the low figure of 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children under 12 years of age. Supper 50 cents extra. Tickets can be had at all the principal stores of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Richland and Westminster. The few cases of measles in town are coming out beautifully and the parish office is doing well. 25 YEARS AGO TODAY December 7, 1899 Miss Anne Everhardy entertained the Social Evening club and a few guests at cards and dancing Tuesday evening at the Del Campo hotel. Progressive enchre was the feature of the evening until 10:30 o'clock. The first dinner prize was won by Miss Jessie Felrose, the second by Miss Sophie Impau, and the booby by Miss Laura Coller. Mrs. Cahen carried off the honors for the guest's trophy. Charles Jay won the gentleman's first prize. Red Backs the second and Ed. Zeus he consolation. After cards a delicious supper was partaken of. Dancing served to while away the balance of the evening which lasted long after electric light hours. Charley Porter, son of A. L. Porter, head carpenter at the Bolsa Chico club grounds) was seriously injured some days ago by a cave-in while at rock on the bluff skirting the roadway at the club grounds. Reports are meant but it is said the boy's leg was broken and that he sustained other serious injuries. Samson Edwards was in town from Westminster on Monday. He reports and renters are numerous, the rates being from $20 to $25 per acre. In some cases as high as $35 has been paid. Mr. Edwards says that renters have made enough money out of potatoes and celery this last year to complete paying for their land at $200 per acre. The celery he reports to be in fine condition, some of the early fields however having suffered from the excessive moisture. The celery crop will amount to about 1000 cars. Robin Adair Scott has been in town several days from Long Beach visiting with friends. He informs us he has had a pleasant summer season going to cake walks and other social functions at San Pedro and Long Beach. Otto Rust returned some days ago from a month's visit to Oregon. He also visited in Santa Clara county. As a winemaker, he paid particular attention to the appearance of the vines seen on his trip and is of the opinion that by far the greater part of them are diseased. The condition of vines chicken pies and cake ad lib—will be served between the hours of 5 and 9 p.m. The price of admission has been placed at the low figure of 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children under 12 years of age. Supper 50 cents extra. Tickets can be had at all the principal stores of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Richland and Westminster. The few cases of measles in town are coming out beautifully and the patients are doing nicely. Through the considerate kindness of J. D. La Rue we have received the first number of the Panamint News a 12x13 inch tri-weekly paper published in Panamint. Though rather diminutive it is highly creditable in its contents and appearance. Its advertising columns show that the different trades are well represented. There are two attorneys, seven saloons, one paper-hanger, one physician, six grocery and drygoods stores, one meat market, one shoemaker, one livery stable, two barbers, three restaurants and one drug store. The cost of living is quite low there, being $8 a week. The reports from the different mines in the district are highly encouraging. Mr. and Mrs. O. B. McFarnham, of Santa Ana, celebrated their wooden wedding on Saturday last at their residence. A large number of their friends put in an appearance loaded down with all kinds of wooden "truck", one man living a distance from town donated a load of stove wood. The case of the People vs. McDonald, for the murder of his wife, came up in District Court on Tuesday. The following named persons were selected as jurors; Geo. Cate, J. R. Martin, M. C. Parrish, J. H. Martin W. G. Metcalf, Mrs. J. C. Roper at Santa Ana on Tuesday. Otto Rust returned some days ago from a month's visit to Oregon. He also visited in Santa Clara county. As a winemaker, he paid particular attention to the appearance of the vines seen on his trip and is of the opinion that by far the greater part of them are diseased. The condition of vines hereabouts is vastly superior to those in the north, and Mr. Rust opines the country is just about as far ahead. Thomas Strain, who recently returned from a trip to Europe, was in town one day last week. Mr. Strain enjoyed his trip to the fullest extent, traveling over the British Isles and the continent. At Naples a city of over 600,000 inhabitants, he counted only four bicycles in a days ramble about the town. Frank Whitaker spent Thanksgiving with the old folks at Buena Park. A sumptuous turkey dinner participated in by numerous family gatherings, was enjoyed and the evening was given over to a rubber of whist. Frank was in town on Friday evening on his way to Riverside. Marshal Steadman has completed his city delinquent tax list which he finds the smallest ever made out by him during the eight years he has held the office. The amount delinquent is $226. All this is no doubt due to the McKinley prosperity spreading itself over the country. Ralph Roper and Miss Marie Burdick, of Orange, were married at the home of the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Roper at Santa Ana on Tuesday. The purpose are two. The first burden for the end is to induce to invest in indiness, stimulating better economic entire country; do this and co-understand that.

Mr. and Mrs. Bert Boyd returned on Sunday from their honeymoon trip to Coronado and ware met at the depot by a delegation of friends. They have gone to housekeeping in Mrs. Steckert's cottage on Cypress street. Druggist Derge has returned from Kern county and Mr. Hatzfeld, who took his place in the drug store, has departed for Santa Ana where he has taken a similar position. Herman Koster was in town on Saturday from his ranch in Soquel canyon. He reports the feed up five and six inches in places and prospects good for abundant pasturage. Billy Hale and Mr. Cunningham of the Earl Fruit Company were in town on Tuesday afternoon. Miss Mary Vinson took her departure on Tuesday for Texas, where she will visit with friends for a year. Pat Seale is down from Los Angeles to spend the Christmas holidays with his folks here. Morris Brothers Dog and Pony show exhibited here to large audiences yesterday afternoon and evening. The parade yesterday afternoon was an interesting one and the show was proounced an artistic success. Four car loads of poles some of them 50 feet long have been unloaded at the Santa Fe depot for the Edison Electric Company, which will erect an electric line to furnish light and power, running from Los Angeles through this city to Santa Ana. Agent Clabaugh told yesterday he heard the line would be paid to greeting cards. Despite the success last year it was noted that the last-minute mail consisted largely of cards. Probably many of them were returned greetings to friends, heard from on a previous mail, but overlooked on the original Christmas list. Unlike parcels and letters containing money orders, cards, of course, can not well be marked "Do Not Open Until Christmas." Therefore, it is possible that the many mailers hold them until the last to insure delivery on Christmas Eve. This class of mailers this year, however, may find their cards undelivered until after Christmas Day. Believing that the energies of postal employees should not be sapped to the last degree for any unavoidable reason, and intent upon securing for them the same Christmas privileges enjoyed by others, Postmaster General New asks the hearty cooperation of the public. The last-minute, or zero hour has been moved up so that all postal employees may eat their Christmas dinners at home. Rural carriers will deliver no mail at all on Christmas Day and clerks and carriers in the city offices will stop work promptly at noon. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION OF TIME OF PROVING WILL, ETC.

The Grammar and intermediate departments of the Public Schools will give a Christmas entertainment on the 16th at the Opera house. LIGHT ON THE MELLON PLAN If the publication of income tax returns has done nothing else worth while, it has proved to all thinking people that President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon are right about the Mellon plan of income tax reduction. The returns show, beyond question that many men of wealth pay comparatively small tax because they have invested their money in tax-exempt securities rather than in industry. An enlightening case is that of Senator Couzens of Michigan, who so strenuously opposed the Mellon plan last winter. Senator Couzens sold his stock in the Ford Motor company a few years ago for a sum generally reported to be $30,000,000. The federal income tax returns for 1923 show a tax of $5,676 charged against him. Assuming that Senator Couzens' fortune is no more than the 50,000,000 he is said to have received or his Ford stock, this sum, invested at 4 per cent, would have brought him in income of $1,200,000 in the year 1923. The tax on this sum, if derived from business or taxable securities would have been more than $650,000. The examination of Senator Couzen's return will convince any discerning person that the senator has invested heavily in city, county or state bonds, or in all of them. He has avoided paying a large income tax by investing in non-taxable securities. The purposes of the Mellon plan are two. The first is to reduce the tax burden for the whole people. The second is to induce persons with capital to invest in industry and in active business, stimulating commerce and bringing In the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California.
