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 April 3, 1875 Mr. Jaquette of Westminster, a brother of Mrs. L. P. Webber, died on last Sunday evening. A Mrs. Short is about to open a millinery store in the Planters Hotel building. Mr. Fish has bought a lot on the Carillo property on Los Angeles street and will build a paint shop thereon. The large bunch of bananas in Mr. George's garden on Los Angeles street present a very tempting appearance. The house formerly occupied by H. D. Polhemus has been moved to the opposite side of the street. The Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company will put up a wire between the depot and town about the middle of May. The store in the Dreyfus building, adjoining the telegraph office, will be occupied by Miss McWhirter, dressmaker. Jack Frost paid us a little visit on Monday night. A few of the vineyards were nined slightly, not enough. The property is a total loss and was, unfortunately, not insured. The Pico house in Los Angeles is again closed, the lease of Mr. Knowlton having expired. Work will commence next week upon the enlargement of the Lafayette hotel in Los Angeles. Henry Dockweller of Los Angeles has gone to Arizona. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK April 5, 1900 Joseph Helmsen made a trip to Santa Ana on Friday last. He is the administrator of the Bittner estate, and was in the Superior court for a partial distribution of property to the heirs. Joseph has sold his 40-acre tract of land on Placentia avenue to A. T. Pendleton and A. Pierotte for $7500. Albert Heffner, Rud Bentz and Nick Bittner went down to the Landing on Tuesday. Heffner and Bentz have rented the warehouse at the beach and will conduct the boating privileges during the summer. They expect to be joined in a few days by Ed Zeigler, and will fish for the local and Los Angeles markets. The Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company will put up a wire between the depot and town about the middle of May. The store in the Dreyfus building, adjoining the telegraph office, will be occupied by Miss McWhirter, dressmaker. Jack Frost paid us a little visit on Monday night. A few of the vineyards were nipped slightly, not enough however to injure them seriously. A part of the Strobel property has been laid off in lots and the administrator gives notice that they will be sold at public auction on the twenty-sixth of this month. P. Davis & Brother intend building a number of stylish hard finished dwelling houses on their vineyard lots. These dwellings, when finished, will be sold on the installment plan or rented. A petition is now in circulation for the purpose of organizing a new water district under the Bush irrigation law. The new district will embrace all the lands lying east, southeast, southwest and west of the town of Anaheim, amounting to some 12,000 or 13,000 acres. Among the signers of the petition are: W. R. Olden, agent of the L. A. & S. B. Land Company; H. Hopkins, John Fischer, Helman & George, H. D. Polhemus, J. W. Cowan Edward Evey, G. A. Gates, D. Evey B. F. E. Kellogg, S. A. Sheffield and M. Cohen. The popular hotel on the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets has recently changed hands and is now under the management of Theodore Lynn. This gentleman is a thorough wide-awake man, and the Planters will be run in a style that will merit the patronage of the traveling public. Mr. Goodman of the firm of Goodman & Rimpau proposes to leave in a few days for San Francisco for the purpose of purchasing a new stock of spring goods, and respectfully refers all who are indebted to the firm to the seventh and eighth verses of the thirteenth chapter of Romans. Joseph Jordan lost two horses on Wednesday morning, and offers a reward for their return. On the same morning 14 horses mysteriously disappeared from Romans's ranch which Albert Heffner, Rud Bentz and Nick Bittner went down to the Landing on Tuesday. Heffner and Bentz have rented the warehouse at the beach and will conduct the boating privileges during the summer. They expect to be joined in a few days by Ed Zeigler, and will fish for the local and Los Angeles markets. Charley Boege has been elected a delegate from the local Odd Fellows judge to represent them at the forthcoming session of the Grand lodge, which meets in San Francisco on May 10. Charley will leave for north the latter part of the month and will be absent two weeks. A. C. Jennings moved with his family on Monday for Long Beach, where they will permanently reside. He will conduct a lodging house at the beach during the summer. Rev. Stone will leave this week for Oakland, where he will visit his brother for three weeks. E. B. Merritt has been appointed census marshal for the Anaheim school district. Judge Shanley took a couple of days off this week and visited with friends in Los Angeles. M. L. Rogers on Tuesday received a letter from his son, Jack, who had arrived in New York on his way home. He is expected to arrive in a day or two. Rev. Father Dubble, assistant pastor of St. Boniface church, went to Los Angeles Tuesday morning, accompanied by his father, who is now a resident of this place. Fred Mickel contemplates departing in a week or two for Alameda county, where he will continue the operation of his mine near Sunol. Fred had to suspend operations last winter on account of the heavy rains which washed out the roads and made the mountain streams impassable. He has good prospects and his friends here (everybody is Mickel's friend) hope he will strike it rich. Seventeen boys assembled at the city hall on Saturday evening for the purpose of joining the newly organized meat market by Velt Bentz again, keeping on market affords.

On the same morning 14 horses mysteriously disappeared from Romero's ranch, which causes us to inquire if civilization is a failure and are horse thieves about? A Mexican woman named Mrs. Domingo was thrown from a wagon on Monday last. The wheels of the vehicle passed over her body, breaking several ribs. Although seriously injured, she will recover. J. D. Ott, agent of the Anaheim Lighter Company, informs us that there has been shipped up-to-date 150 bales of the spring clip of wool. A large number of bales are in the warehouse awaiting shipment. As Rev. J. M. Allis is absent in San Bernardino, attending the meeting of the Presbytery, there will be no services in the Presbyterian church tomorrow. The congregation is requested to attend the Episcopal services at Enterprise hall at 11 o'clock. Rev. Peter Farley will officiate in the Catholic church tomorrow. Robert W. Scott has been admitted to practice law at the Los Angeles bar. A dispatch from Benecia says that about 1 o'clock on last Monday morning the home of William Meirose, a brother of one of the proprietors of The Gazette, was destroyed by fire. Seventeen boys assembled at the city hall on Saturday evening for the purpose of joining the newly organized boys' band, of which Prof. Walter Crowther of Placentia is to be the leader. Professor Crowther was present, and said that in six months he would have the boys sufficiently trained to give an open air concert in Placentia Park. The following boys joined the band: Charles Schindler, Owens Lymburner, Fred Middleham, Fayette Lewis, Timothy Carroll, George Wommer, Earl Steadman, Charles Fischer, Walter Mickle, Churley Darling, Roy Norman, Edward Golter, Theodore Dickel, Henry Schindler, Adolph Backs, Santos Carriosa and William Duckworth. Professor Crowther has been in Los Angeles this week, selecting instruments for the boys. They will meet again on Saturday afternoon next, at 2 o'clock, at the city hall, for their initial practice. The fences in front of the properties of William Konig, Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw and Mrs. Parker on South Los Angeles street have been set back to the sidewalk line and a new gravel sidewalk will be laid down. If citizens of the community desire to cast their ballots for the best Marshal Anaheim has ever had, let them vote for N. F. Steadman. He has collected tens of thousands of dollars ANAHEIM GAZETTE for the city in his official capacity as tax and license gatherer and has never been so much as 1 cent wrong in his accounts. If you believe in his manner of doing business, vote for him. George Boyd informs us that he will probably finish this week the packing of this season's orange crop. He will ship out some 65 carloads. During the past dried fruit season he shipped out 75 carloads of dried fruit. Horace C. Head, a young attorney of Fullerton, and Miss Anna Hansen, daughter of Peter Hansen of Placentia, were married at the home of the bride in Placentia on Sunday. Rain fell heavily for a short time on Tuesday afternoon, accompanied by a thunder and lightning storm. The precipitation was accompanied by hail. The storm was a remnant blown over from Arizona, where heavy rains have fallen during the past week. Mr. Dickel reports .40 of an inch. Mr. Nebelung measured .48 and Mr. Darling .43. Total for the season, 6.11 inches; last year to date, 4.51. The rain will do a vast amount of good, and with other showers yet to fall we should have a pretty fair year after all. John Kellonborger has purchased the meat market formerly conducted by Velt Bentz and will conduct the same, keeping on hand the best the market affords. HIGHWAY WORK With new work practically at a standstill, the California highway commission is going ahead with its 1925 program for reconstruction of state highways, widening and thickening, SHERIFF'S SALE NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE UNDER EXECUTION In the Superior Court of the County of Colusa, State of California.

By order of the Board of San- HIGHWAY WORK With new work practically at standstill, the California highway commission is going ahead with its 1925 program for reconstruction of state highways, widening and thickening, and elimination of hazards which are daily costing the lives of motorists. Last week bids were asked on four projects. In Orange county, 516 miles of old 15-foot pavement between San Juan and Galivan, which is breaking under traffic, will be widened and thickened with a new 20-foot concrete slab. In San Diego county bids were asked for the building of a new reinforced concrete bridge 300 feet in length over the San Onefre creek. This is the first step toward straightening out of the highway at this point and in the vicinity of San Mateo creek, where many motorists have been killed because of the sharp and blind curves in the highway. In Los Angeles county bids were asked for the painting of four bridges. In the norther part of the state the present 15-foot highway between San Pablo creek and El Clervo, 6.3 miles, Contra Costa county, will be widened to 31 feet with asphalt macadam. The widening is preparatory to the placing of an additional thickening at a later date, when more funds are available. Heavy traffic is expected over this section of the highway, following the completion of the Carquinez Straits bridge, now under construction. These projects are a part of the $5,000,000 program of such work planned for the present year to be financed out of the state's share of the gasoline tax fund. As an example of the magnitude of the reconstruction problem faced by the commission, it is stated that, at the beginning of the year the engineers of the commission reported to headquarters the urgent necessity of $14,000,000 worth of reconstruction work—work which the engineers believed should be done during 1925 to conserve the investment in the present highway system. Less than one-half of the work can be undertaken during the present year with available funds. Bids will be opened April 20.

Do Your Hens Refuse to Lay? Many hens go on a strike each year because the place in which they have to lay and roost is unsuitable. 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. Come in and talk to us about a new hen house—we have the best kind of hen house lumber, and some ideas about poultry house plans that you may decide to adopt. GIBBS LUMBER CO.
