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 March 27, 1875 A gentleman named Ruhm has purchased a lot on Center street from B. Dreyfus. We believe it is his intention to build a blacksmith shop thereon. Tomorrow is Easter. As the rabbits have been fed on cochineal and tea leaves for the past week, the little ones will find beautifully colored eggs in the nests tomorrow morning. It is on the cards that Rowan will again be a candidate for county treasurer and the papers inimical to him have begun to howl about Caesarism and a third term. F. and J. Backs are preparing to build a new front on their furniture warrooms. Mr. Thompson, the dancing master, will give a dancing party on next Saturday evening at Kroeger's hall. The public will then have an opportunity to judge of the proficiency acquired by the pupils in the terpsichorean art. A correspondent of the Voce del Ponteo of San Francisco has been he calls it. Mr. Toler was here a year ago and bought land in Orange where he and the party with him will stake their tents. A postoffice has been established at Pasadena, in this county, and Josiah Locke appointed postmaster. Where is Pasadena? E. J. Baldwin, who has just purchased the Santa Anita ranch, informed us a few days ago that the ranch was offered to him 16 years ago for $14,000, and a year ago for $160,000. It is less than a week since he purchased it for $200,000. Married—In Anaheim, March 25, by Rev. J. M. Allis, Peter Hansen to Christine Zansen. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK March 29, 1900 Arch Henry informs us that the two wells at the Caledonia Grove yield an unfailing supply of water. One peculiarity of the wells is that the water stands at a depth from the surface of only 24 feet. The depth of the water at the city power house is nearly 45 feet. The well pit on the Henry ranch is down 14 feet, and it is three highest blades under advisement limiting the price to lift the limit McNeill's bid work upon the early date. A deed was filed day, transferring acres of land Stearns Ranchor J. Northam. $51,500. The new residence at Katella is now will soon be rebuilt Knapp's new addition to one of Orange counties a valuable acquaintance. The trial of charged with Gregg, in the June, is in process in Santa Smith of Los Angeles. The case was concluded last week and completed until now. A number of wagons and horse public auction yards yesterday $139.35 and cost ruptured estate of J. Ber company. The auctioneer were realized. Mr. Thompson, the dancing master, will give a dancing party on next Saturday evening at Kroeger's hall. The public will then have an opportunity to judge of the proficiency acquired by the pupils in the terpsichorean art. A correspondent of the Voce del Popolo of San Francisco has been writing up Anaheim and Los Angeles county generally. He says the following nice thing about one of our citizens: "We had the pleasure of meeting Senor Don Pedro Richards and wife. Mr. Richards carries on a magnificent business in wines and liquors. He is a native of Dalmatia, and has lived in Anaheim six years and is one of the most popular men in the town for his liberality and straightforward dealing." The anniversary of the establishment of the order of Odd Fellows in the United States occurs on April 26. The Anaheim lodge has already commenced preparations of the proper observance of the day. It is intended to have a public meeting, which will be addressed by eloquent speakers, and in the afternoon give a picnic on the Strobel grounds. The programme, however, has not been definitely arranged. Tim Boege has several men at work clearing his land near the depot, preparatory to making and burning brick. Experts pronounce the soil first class for brick-making. The first kiln will contain about five hundred thousand, and if the demand is great, Mr. Boege will manufacture brick by the million. As soon as the brick is ready for use, he will commence the erection of a large warehouse near the depot. Our energetic friend, John Fischer, also sees a bonanza in the manufacture of brick and will, in a short time, commence operations on his land east of town. The brick will be manufactured under the supervision of T. J. Welch, whose experience in the business warrants the assertion that the article produced will be very superior. It is estimated that the bricks can be furnished at about $8 per thousand. A meeting of citizens interested in the organization of a fire company was held on Monday evening. Messrs. March 29, 1900 Arch Henry informs us that the two wells at the Caledonia Grove yield an unfailing supply of water. One peculiarity of the wells is that the water stands at a depth from the surface of only 24 feet. The depth of the water at the city power house is nearly 45 feet. The well pit on the Henry ranch is down 14 feet, and it is only 10 feet further to water. One of the wells is 528 feet deep and the other 240 feet. A stream of 60 inches is being pumped from them. Across the road, at the Campbell place, a well 180 feet has been sunk and water stands in it 16 feet from the surface. W. J. Cole, the Hardscrabble butter magnate, announces that he will manufacture no more butter. He will dispose of his herd of Jersey cows and go out of the business, having massed a competency, and the weather being dry. Mr. Cole has been delivering butter to customers in town for many years, and they will hear with regret of his decision to retire from business. News was received by Fred Rimpau on Tuesday of the death at the City of Mexico, on March 22, of Senor Don Mariano J. Garfias, in the forty-fifth year of his age. Senor Garfias, or as his old-time friends in Anaheim familiarly called him, Mariano, is well remembered here, where his school days were passed. The family departed for the City of Mexico in 1875. Then Mariano rose to an eminence in learning and was at the time of his death professor of languages in several institutions of learning in the Mexican capital. He leaves a widow and several children. Here in Anaheim news of his death will be received with regret by friends as well as relatives, his mother being a sister of Mrs. Theodore Rimpau. His mother, Mrs. Garfias, was in San Diego at the time of his death and was unable to reach the City of Mexico in time to attend the obsequies. Saturday evening has been selected as the time for launching the boys' band upon its career. On that evening, at 8 o'clock, the boys to the number of 10 will assemble at the city hall, and the following gentlemen will be present to assist in the ceremonies: H. A. Dickel, Arthur Lewis. "I am no locative that she be a farce uncle and recommend given to her brakes—which four-wheel brake chief engineer Motor Company." "If all cars continue when a person appears ahead reduced more than half the distance danger threaten." "Now in receive the United States cards, and in cars participate there is a concern matter of traffic." "It was prove four-wheel brake less than half possible with two." In the tests made that a car with brakes could act at 20 miles per hour was 28 feet. "Now when average stop was 63 feet, that in the hundreds that occur even between stopping just different dent and no ac A meeting of citizens interested in the organization of a fire company was held on Monday evening. Messrs. Fischer, Melrose and Richter were appointed on a committee to prepare by-laws. The committee appointed at a previous meeting to collect funds from the property owners for the necessary expenses of the company are meeting with flattering success, which shows that our citizens are alive to the advantages of an active body of fire-fighters. Lumber has been purchased for flooring the truck-house. The company was permanently organized by the election of the following officers: John Fischer, president; R. Menzel, vice-president; R. Melrose, secretary; L. Durr, treasurer. It was thought best to postpone the election of the active officers until the membership was increased. Durr, Menzel and Wartenberg were appointed to secure members and endeavor to secure a good attendance at the meeting to be held on Monday night at Enterprise hall. By-laws will then be adopted, officers elected and other very important business transacted. Messrs. D. and G. D. Plato have rented from Helman & George the store under The Gazette office and will, during the early part of next month, open a general merchandise store. W. K. Toler of Memphis, Tenn., accompanied by a number of families, is now on his way to "Paradise," as Mrs. Garfias, was in San Diego at the time of his death and was unable to reach the City of Mexico in time to attend the obsequies. Saturday evening has been selected as the time for launching the boys' band upon its career. On that evening, at 8 o'clock, the boys to the number of 10 will assemble at the city hall, and the following gentlemen will be present to assist in the ceremonies: H. A. Dickel, Arthur Lewis; W. F. Middleham, Frank Wommer; J. Backs and Frank Steadman. Prof. Walter Crowther has been engaged as leader, and says that in six months he will have the boys fit to give a concert in the bandstand. E. R. Turk has returned from China. He will have charge of the chemical department of the Oxnard factory. Mrs. Turk and little son have returned to Anaheim to reside. Miss Belle Negus, who for some months past has been an employee of Harris & Falkenstein's department store, leaves next week for her former home in Iowa. T. E. Schmidt takes his departure today for his home in New Jersey, after a pleasant sojourn with relatives and friends for two months past. On Sunday he formed one of a picnic party embracing the families of H. A. Dickel, John Hartung and E. R. Turk to the Santaago canyon in Hahn's tally-ho. Mr. Schmidt goes east to attend to business matters, and it is not improbable that he may return to Anaheim again to reside permanently. The supervisors on Monday opened bids for the erection of the new courthouse. The lowest bid was that of McNeill & Blee for $91,896, the next lowest being that of Murphy & McLennan of Los Angeles for $95,000. In the tests made that a car with brakes could adhere at 20 miles per hour. "Now when you average stop time was 63 feet, this is in the hundreds that occur even between stopping just the different dent and no accident." "Contrary to standing, too, are due, not to miscalculation or ups, of the speed traveling slowly per hour." "Bellving it the child runs recover a ball relatively short feet with two enough to push violently as to pavement. This deaths than the pedestrians." "Now, with car can stop in 10 miles per hour at 15." "So all such prevented by firing." Remember, stop the car if original speed is stopping dislays. "To explain—10 miles per hour in front of it, in per hour two And at that spot the child." "No use foot-tems of 'educational trials.'" "The best edusible to absu- The other bids ranged as high as $106,000. The board rejected the three highest bids and took McNeill's under advisement. It had intended limiting the price to $55,000, but the raise in the price of material conspires to lift the limit. It is thought likely McNeill's bid will be accepted and work upon the structure begun at an early date. A deed was filed for record on Monday, transferring the title to 1860 acres of land at Bolsa from the Stearns Ranchos Company to Robert J. Northam. The consideration is $51,500. The new residence of Peter Knapp at Katella is nearing completion and will soon be ready for occupancy. Mr. Knapp's new residence is an artistic addition to one of the richest sections of Orange county, and he himself is a valuable acquisition to the community. The trial of Henry Hungerford, charged with the murder of James Gregg, in the Santiago canyon, last June, is in progress in the Superior court in Santa Ana. Judge B. N. Smith of Los Angeles is presiding. The case was continued since Monday of last week and will probably not be completed until today. A number of horses and colts, wagons and harness were sold at public auction at the Griffith lumber yard yesterday to satisfy a claim of $139.35 and costs owing by the bankrupt estate of J. B. Pierce to the lumber company. George Hunter was the auctioneer. Satisfactory prices were realized. because their minds are occupied with more subjects. "Most motorists drive automatically. So education is of little use, unless you can teach a businessman to forget his business affairs all the time he is driving and thereby waste more time than his car saves him. 'No! That isn't the answer at all. 'Make it so that his natural automatic action on sensing a danger will divert accident. Then you will have a real 'code of safety.' 'All cars shortly will have four-wheel brakes. Then all others must have them to be safe in traffic. 'I believe it should be obligatory for every car to pass a test of its brakes and if it cannot conform to a 'code of safety' based on what good four-wheel brakes can do, then those cars should be pronounced unfit for use until their brake equipment is improved so as to qualify under such a test." TEN-YEAR GRAZING PERMITS ISSUED ON NATIONAL FORESTS The secretary of agriculture has authorized the grazing of 209,726 cattle and horses and 519,800 sheep and goats annually for the period 1925-34 on the 17 national forests in California, according to District Forester Paul G. Redington of the United States forest service, who reports that there will be no increase in grazing fees during the seasons of 1925 and 1926. "The federal forest supervisors," states Mr. Redington, "are now receiving applications for grazing privileges on the national forests and 10-year permits will be issued to those who have the necessary qualifications. The issuance of these term permits is because their minds are occupied with more subjects." S. W. corner, of a certain tract deeded by said J. B. Kester and wife to W. E. Lainer and Rosla J.

Attorneys for Plaintiff. 3-12-2t NOTICE INVITING BIDS Santa Ana, Cal., March 10, 1925. In pursuance of a resolution of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, California, adopted March 10, 1925, 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 March 31, 1925, sealed bids or proposals for the grading and graveling of portions of Ball Road, Walker Street and Orange Avenue in the Third Road District. Bids must be made on the form provided for the purpose admissible to A number of horses and colts, wagons and harness were sold at public auction at the Griffith lumber yard yesterday to satisfy a claim of $139.35 and costs owing by the bankrupt estate of J. B. Pierce to the lumber company. George Hunter was the auctioneer. Satisfactory prices were realized. The Ladies' Aid of the Presbyterian church will meet tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at the home of Mrs. Grimthaw. Annual meeting—all members are urged to attend. FOUR-WHEEL BRAKES WILL PREVENT ACCIDENTS "I am no iconoclast, but I do believe that the safety conference will be a farce unless in its conclusions and recommendations due regard is given to the subject of adequate brakes—which unquestionably means four-wheel brakes," says E. R. Evans, chief engineer of the Rickenbacker Motor Company. "If all cars could stop in a safe distance, when a pedestrian, a street car or another automobile unexpectedly appeared ahead, accidents would be reduced more than 90 per cent. In fact an analysis of police records proves that of 100,000 traffic fatalities, fully 98 per cent never would have happened if the automobiles implicated could have stopped in half the distance they did when the danger threatened. Now in recent tests conducted by the United States Bureau of Standards, and in which many makes of cars participated, it was proven that there is a conclusive answer to this matter of traffic accidents. "It was proven that if all cars had four-wheel brakes they could stop in less than half the distance that is possible with two. In the tests mentioned it was proven that a car with the best four-wheen brakes could actually stop in 14 feet at 20 miles per hour; the average was 26 feet. Now when you consider that the average stop of two-wheel brake cars was 53 feet, the answer is obvious. In the hundreds of street accidents that occur every day the difference between stopping in 20 or 53 feet is just the difference between an accident and no accident."

In the tests mentioned it was proven that a car with the best four-wheel brakes could actually stop in 14 feet at 20 miles per hour; the average was 28 feet. "Now when you consider that the average stop of two-wheel brake cars was 53 feet, the answer is obvious. 'In the hundreds of street accidents that occur every day the difference between stopping in 20 or 53 feet is just the difference between an accident and no accident. 'Contrary to the popular understanding, too, most street accidents are due, not to high speeds, but to miscalculation of children and grown-ups, of the speed of a car when it is traveling slowly—say 10 to 15 miles per hour. 'Belleving it has plenty of time, the child runs in front of a car to recover a ball. Car may stop in a relatively short distance—20 to 30 feet with two brakes. But that is enough to push the child over so violently as to crack its head on the pavement. That is the cause of more deaths than the car 'running over' pedestrians. 'Now, with four-wheel brakes a car can stop in less than four feet at 10 miles per hour! Less than six feet at 15. 'So all such accidents would be prevented by four-wheel brakes. 'Remember, too, that in such a stop the car is going only half its original speed when it has gone half its stopping distance. 'To explain—a car that was going 10 miles per hour when the child ran in front of it, is going only five miles per hour two feet from that point. And at that speed it would not hurt the child.

Poor hen houses or none at all, are the reasons why many hens do not lay as the owner thinks they should. Keep the birds working, but well fed—provide a dry, clean house, free from drafts. Don't keep a hen over two years old—remove the rooster except before setting eggs—infertile eggs are better for table and market use.
