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 June 5, 1875 The orchard of Dr. Hardin is one of the prettiest sights in Anaheim and furnishes many an easterner with a fertile text on which to build up a glowing panegyric on wonderful California. Application has been made for the establishment of a money order office at Anaheim. E. A. Pullen has been appointed census marshal and is now performing the duties pertaining to that office. Arthur Helmann will build another cottage on his lot on Los Angeles street. E. W. Champlin is the contractor. Spurgeon's fine building at Santa Ana is so near completion as to enable that gentleman to move his goods into it early next week. The election in Water District No. 2 will be held today. A. Langenberger, John Fischer and David Evey are candidates for commissioners and W. W. Curtis for overseer. Between 3 and 4 o'clock on Wednesday morning a smart shower of rain fell about a mile and one-half north of town. G. D. Plato, during his recent visit to San Francisco, purchased a large stock of dry goods, groceries, crockery, etc. They ask buyers to visit their store and ascertain the prices at which they sell their goods. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK June 7, 1900 N.

Plato, during his recent visit to San Francisco, purchased a large stock of dry goods, groceries, crockery, etc. They ask buyers to visit their store and ascertain the prices at which they sell their goods. In his letter this week our writer on local improvements files his objections against willow fences as hiding from the eyes of travelers the charming appearance of our vineyards and gardens. The point is well taken. How much more attractive, for instance, does Mr. Bitner's orchard look since he has removed the willows and substituted a rail fence. R. Luelke, the jeweler, showed us a stone the other day which possesses quite a history. In 1849 Pope Pius XI presented to a favorite priest a ring. In the center of the ring was a large agate, on which a head was carved, and on each side were five diamonds of rare beauty. The ring was purchased from the priest by Mr. Luelke, in 1852, for $850. The diamonds were put into rings and sold for fabulous prices, but the large agate Mr. Luelke retained, and has just had it placed in a gold setting. The water ditch at San Juan Capistrano has just been enlarged to accommodate the increasing farming interests of that community. A. G. Smith has been appointed agent for the London Assurance Corporation, the oldest company in existence. Those desiring to insure property would do well to consult with Mr. Smith. A rodeo of the Ancient and Honorable Order of Calithumplans will be held in Los Angeles tonight to make arrangements for the due observance of the Fourth of July, and the great Sphinx has issued a mandate requiring our attendance. As we run with another manyada, we cannot attend the rodeo, and we hope the noble Sphinx will not pour upon us the barbed shafts of his yengeance. We humble ourselves before him as we do before—a bucking "mewl." The Anaheim public schools will close on next Friday. The vacation will last for about nine weeks. It is estimated that 100,000 sheep have left this country for pastures green in Arizona. The Republican convention appointed the following central committee: E. Bouton, W. F. Robinson, John R.

Rod Stone of Fullerton and Miss May Tamella of this city were married at Santa Ana some days ago. After a short honeymoon trip the happy couple returned yesterday to their home in Fullerton, where they will take up their residence. Don David Yorba entertained a number of his friends at a picnic at Sycacore canyon on Sunday last when a sewer head breakfast, tortillas, baked mutton and other delicacies claimed attention. Don David is an expert at preparing these dainties and he large crowd present were loud in their praise not only of his abilities as caterer, but of his hospitality as well. Ike Williams was in from Buena Park day or two ago. Ike has long entertained the idea that oil exists in paying quantities in his section of the county and is entertaining a proposition to search for it with the drill. His well water has long had an olly surfacing upon it and there are other indications as well. Ike may yet get into the running and start an oil company of its own. C. F. Grim has taken charge of the Griffith Lumber Company's business at his point. He has been long connected with the same company at Santa Ana and is a very courteous and agreeable business man. Mr. Skidmore, whom he succeeds, has returned to his home in Downey. Oscar Renner has received a letter from his brother, Billy, who is with the Eighteenth Regiment on the island of Panay. The letter arrived on the same transport which brought General Otis to San Francisco. Billy writes that the regiment is engaged in the praiseworthy task of cleaning out the Filipinos, which they intend to bring about before the rainy season sets in. He adds that the boys are sent on frequent "hiking" trips in search of the Filipino. So expert has Billy become as a "hiker" that he says a walk to Santa Ana and back to this city would just about give him an appetite for breakfast. He has been in the islands a year and has not seen a train during that time. So long, Billy! Steve Devoe was in town on Friday from Bolsa Chica. Steve has been appointed keeper of the grounds of the Bolsa Chica Gun Club and is now in "The bill also proves way commission shall street in towns of population as a par system, where the linking link of the system has been found, comfort and convening public.

Steve Devoe was in town on Friday from Bolsa Chica. Steve has been appointed keeper of the grounds of the Bolsa Chica Gun Club, and is now in charge of the property. J. B. Neff returned on Tuesday from a two days' trip to Ventura. He went to look at the deciduous fruit interests, and finds the outlook poor; in fact, the peach and apricot crops of the county are a failure. Many of the trees have not leafed out. There is considerable movement in oil in the county, the Union Company having wells which have produced over $1,000,000 worth of it. Many new companies are being organized. Mr. Neff's apricots are ripening. His trees are laden with a very fine crop. As soon as the apricots ripen up nicely, we shall go out and pay him an extended visit.

NEW ROAD BILL IS NOW A LAW Highway Commission Forced to Maintain All Roads Relative to Assembly bill No. 589, W. F. Mixon, secretary of the California Highway Commission, has made the following statement: Assembly bill No. 589, introduced by Assemblyman Melville of Fort Bragg, which has been signed by Governor Richardson, is a bill having the sanction of the highway commission. It codifies the laws pertaining to the administrative duties of the commission and clarifies certain points which have arisen under the separation of that department from the department of public works. "The most important provision of the bill is one which directs the highway commission to maintain all traversable roads, which have come into the system by either legislative act or the various bond issues, a provision which means a very great deal in the immediate future of travel conditions. There are over 1000 miles of these roads in the system, which in the past have not had maintenance care." "This provision in the new law insures reasonable care, maintenance and improvement of this mileage of highways, much of which is in more or less remote sections of the state. The trained maintenance forces of the commission may now give some measure of relief to those communities that have waited patiently since the first bond issue of 1909 for some sort of service. The maintenance and gradual improvement of these roads will, in the course of a few years, provide a well constructed system that to all intents and purposes will serve the communities in a splendid way until ultimate or final construction can be undertaken." "This provision of the new law is in accord with one of the recommendations of the Highway Committee of Nine and has had the endorsement of practically every board of supervisors of the state, together with numerous Chambers of bases, personnel, etc. Regular airplane patrol over forested areas will not be maintained this season, but planes will be available at all times for special flights during periods of great fire danger, and for reconnaissance work on large fires. "Everyone who has an interest in our Pacific coast and inland empire forests, either from an economic or recreational standpoint, should view with keen gratification and approval the re-establishment by the federal government of airplane patrol for the protection of our forested areas from fire," said District Forester Redington. "Thanks to congress, which through the efforts of Senator McNary of Oregon and other western state and private forestry associations and interests, appropriated $50,000 for this work this season, and the splendid co-operation of the air service of the army, we shall again be able to give added protection to federal, state and private forests on the Pacific coast through the use of airplanes. Forest patrol this year will, however, be somewhat different from that maintained in past years, when the air service carried on the burden of the work. This year the army will furnish the forest service with planes and keep them in shape, but the pilots will be recruited from the Officers' Reserve Corps and mechanics from the enlisted reserve and personnel trained at air service depots, while observers will be furnished from the regular forest service personnel. The forest patrol will furnish a splendid training school for all these men. Final announcement of the details of patrol bases and personnel will be announced shortly."

How many women would refuse to turn back the calendar three years if they had the opportunity? Few, certainly, would object to being three years younger! And that is exactly the opportunity we offer women who do their own family washing, or have it done at home under their supervision. Figure it out yourself—in the course of 20 years, a day a week spent with the washing amounts to practically the same as though three years had been added to their age. Or, putting it another way, a woman of 45 has wasted enough time on the family washing in her twenty years of marriage to amount to three years. If the washing had been handed over to us, the time saved would have given her three years full of days that might have been spent with her children, in amusement or civic activities. It's worth while telephoning us to call for your bundle. We'll do all the washing and part or all of the ironing. The Sanitary Laundry A. W. CLEAVER, Proprietor 225 W.
