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 25th, 1875 The time of gift ranking has come. This Christmas giving is a beautiful custom, for by it we are carried back to the time when the wise men came with gifts to the Savior of the world, who was himself God's best gift to man. Surely if the angels at that time came singing "Peace on earth, good will to men," it is highly appropriate that we should greet each other kindly, and with our gifts and kindly salutations, seek to make our children, our friends, our fellow men happy, and thus help to bring about peace and good will to all. The Gazette enters heartily into all this merry sport and hopes that the Christmas trees of last evening were satisfactorily haden, and that the stockings which graced the chimneys of our various homes were faithfully attended to by the jolly, gray-boarded old saint, who comes with his deer and his goat and his loaf of toys and books and candy. If any of our young readers had been up as our paper came flying to their door this morning, they might have seen the way the venerable Santa Claus managed even if we did not see him. To spite of the absence of sleigh rides and opportunities for sliding down hill and for snow-falling each other, we wish the readers of The Gazette, young and old, a merry, merry Christmas. Tim Carroll brought a fine lot of Christmas trees into town on Thursday. The public schools closed on Thursday and the pupils thereof will enjoy a vacation of two weeks, until the first Thursday in January. Mr. Pete Richards has moved into his fine new residence. A new billboard table was set up in the Planters hotel yesterday.

Dr. Hardin is offering his orange lemon and lime trees at greatly reduced prices. Anyone finding a buggy whip on Lemon street will please return it to Mitchell's stables. Our anxiety to get through with our reportorial duties early in the evening so that we might attend the Fair and have an opportunity to gorge ourselves with ice cream, sponge cake and female beauty, prevents us from giving a lengthy report of the entertainment. Up to the present writing however, there has been a fair attendance, and we hope to be able to chronicle next week that the treasury of the Episcopal Church building committee has been swolled by the receipt of a handsome amount of the coin of the realm. Horses were sold yesterday at prices ranging from seven dollars and a half upwards. The worthy auctioneer displays as great ingenuity in getting up a collection of sorry plugs as he does in getting almost fabulous prices for them. There was a terrible commotion in the milk trade yesterday when Lamur's yellow horse started up Center street on a little frolic of his own. Milk cans and cans of milk were generously distributed from Langenberger's corner to Lorenz' vineyard and the horror-stricken proprietor of the festive steed stood at the corner revolving in his raind a weighy astronomical calculation, reckoning the value of the milky way. Judges Bacon and Egan were up from San Juan Capistrano last evening. Don Chico Forster has just returned from a trip with the Indian agent to Pala; Temecula and the mountain region of San Diego county. Mr. T. H.

Miller's hardware store has turned out a number of sheet cannons for Johann Bixby for the storage of oil on the Bixby ranch in theoothills east of town. One tank is of the capacity of 6500 gallons. It holds a cupload of oil. Another holds 5000 gallons and a third holds 1500. A. A. Penderrust has qualified as constable of Fullerton township. The office has been vacant since the death of James Gardiner a month ago. The fess aount to so little (the citizens) have raised a fund sufficient to pay the office a month for a year. P. A. Derris returned on Sunday from Horicon. Wisconsin, whither he was killed some weeks ago by the illness of his father, who died on November 28. Charley Rogers has returned from Dawson after an absence of three years. He spent several weeks at Cape None on his way south. Dawson he pronounces one of the greatest gold producing centers in the world, this year's product of the yellow metal going to $20,000,000. The town had three years ago a population of 100,000 but it has now fallen to 20,000. Mr. Rogers will probably remain in Anaheim for a season of rest after his labor in the frozen north. John Johnson departed yesterday in company of Mr. McCulloch of Garden Grove for his mines in Dale district, San Bernardino county. He goes in his own conveyance and will consume a week in making the trip.

A suit for damages by trespass, in which Bailey Bros. as plaintiffs and Eastanchury is defendant will be tried before Judge Clark on Friday. W. C. Pendleton and Joel Parlin of Orange have rigged an outfit and will start tomorrow with sheep for San Francisco. The new Methodist Episcopal church on Fort street, Los Angeles, was dedicated on Sunday, the services being largely attended. It was announced by the pastor that a debt of $8,000 remained on the church and he called for subscriptions to liquidate the indebtedness. The appeal was liberally responded to, $6,000 being subscribed in the morning and the balance in the evening. J. W. Potts gave $1,000 and others contributed sums ranging from $500 to $5. All China seems to want is to exercise her own sovereignty and of course this mild request greatly infuriates the nations who talked so glowingly at Versailles, about the right of self-determination. Automobile Notes Only the white registration certificates are needed to obtain motor vehicle license plates for 1922, according to announcement by the state vehicle department and the Automobile Club of Southern California. Many of the $30,000 motorists in this section are not aware of this new precision and are sending in their pink certificates. These are not needed, according to the new ruling, as the obtaining of new plates this year is a simple matter. At the automobile club headquarters and its 30 branch offices throughout southern California, applications are being taken during the month of December for the licensed plate delivery during the month of January. Ten of thousands of motorists already have made application as they are profiting by the experiences of last year when 50,000 drivers were compelled to pay a 100 per cent penalty for failing to make application during the period designated by law. Hurry, hurry, hurry! Is the message being broadcasted by the Automobile Club of Southern California relative to 1926 license plates. It is expected that 1925 will close as the banner year in the history of motor vehicle production. November sales showed an increase of 13 per cent over November, 1924. The first 11 months of the year show a production or nearly 4,000,000 cars and here is every indication that the total or the year will reach 4,250,000. Southern California will start the new year with approximately 1 per cent of the 18,000,000 motor vehicles in the United States. It will be called upon to absorb approximately 170,000 of the more than 4,000,000 cars manufactured in the past 12 months. There seems to be little doubt that this section will retain its claim to being the most highly authorized part of the United States in proportion to population, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California. While reaction throughout the country generally to President Coolidge's message to Congress relative to federal aid for highways appears generally favorable, there is a growing sentiment that he well-known eminent of the chief executive caused him to stop short of similar legitimate assessments but represents the amounts paid into fake motorizing organizations. In spite of repeated warnings a check up by the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce reveals that many motorists are easy when the bustling representative appears on the scene. With lavish premises of all sorts of service a check is extricated from the victim. In a few months when the field has been covered, the promotor slips away to other parts. It is pointed out by the national organization that while this搿ting process aggregates over $30,000,000 waste each year, there is yet another bad feature. It makes the victim suspicious of the legitimate motoring organizations that are giving actual service to the membership and doing constructive work for their communities. The motorist who has been swindled naturally suspects that all motoring organizations are along similar lines and is chary about lending his support after once he has been artificially robbed. Another bad feature about these "gyp" organizations is that it is difficult to approach the swindlers. When caught they allow good faith in making purchases so that the blame really rests with the guillable motorists who give up their cash too readily on the strength of a plausible story. Of the 43 groups of products once burdened with war exeise taxes, 35 have been granted complete repayment. It is pointed out by the Automobile Club of Southern California that one of the few remaining groups still paying this tax in the automobile industry. Motorists of California will travel 7,500,000,000 miles in their machines in 1925, according to estimates made by the engineering department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. This indicates why this big motoring organization has for its slogan "Good Roads." FUTURE AND CAR PARKING They are planning now on building an office building in San Francisco, taller than any of the recently constructed skyscrapers. It is to be the Russ building, on the site of the Russ House of early days, on Montgomery street. It will be thirty gorries, rising to a height of 400 feet and will have 350,000 feet of rental space. kind done therecon, and also will be required to furnish a certificate that he carries compensation insurance covering his employees upon work to be done under contract which may be entered into between him and the said County for the construction of said work. Copies will be furnished intending bidders upon application to the County Superintendent of Highways of said County for which a deposit of three dollars ($3.00) will be required, same to be returned on the filing of bid, and the return of plans and specifications. The Board of Supervisors reserves the right to reject any and all bids. By order of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, State of California. J. M. BACKS, County Clerk 12-10-21 NOTICE INVITING BIDS Scaled proposals or bids will be received by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim at the office of the City Clerk of said city, up to eight clock P. M. of Thursday, the 14th day of January, 1926, for the purchase of kitchen garbage from the residences, restaurants and hotels within the City limits of the City of Anaheim from February 1, 1926, for a period of one year; or from February 1, 1926, for a period of two years; or from February 1, 1926, for a period of three years. Said garbage will be collected by the City of Anaheim and delivered in cans on a platform at the City Barns, 520 South Los Angeles Street, daily, from which place all garbage shall be removed by the purchaser within twelve (12) hours after delivery. ALTERNATE: Said garbage will be collected by said City of Anaheim and delivered to purchaser's premises. Bidder must state price for garbage and price for hauling, per mile. Intersection of Los Angeles and Center Streets will be the starting point to calculate the distance. Each bid must be accompanied by a certified check for $100.00 payable to the City of Anaheim, to be forfeited to said City if the successful bidder fails to sign the contract within ten (10) days after the award to him of said contract. The Board of Trustees reserves the right to reject any and all bids. By order of the Board of Trustees While reaction throughout the county generally to President Coolidge's message to Congress relative to federal aid, as now constituted, may be done away with at some future time. Also, there is apparently little thought of needed provision for adequate highways and within the vast coastal and scenic areas which have been appropriated by the government for all the people, and when, for the most part, are situated in the least populous states, which states also have the greatest difficulty in financing road projects. While congressional hearthly with President Coolidge in his recommendation that the national government is consummate only with aiding in the construction of highways acknowledged for military importance, it is pointed out that was making accessible the national roads and forest recreational areas may be designated as primary in national importance, with such they may not form parts of transcontinental travel routes. The claim is made that since the millions of acres comprising the great national parks and national forests are the sole property of the government and under government administration, these should be improved and developed at the expense of all of the people, just as the District of Columbia, which is the property of and under the jurisdiction of the national government. The governors of Wyoming, the giant streets of the Sierra Nevada, the Grand Canyon of Colorado, the living glaciers of Washington, the many lively volcanoes on the continents are treasured heirats of all the people. Each year there is a area increase in the number of climates. The vast wealth in timber, minerals and grazing lands is controlled by the government. Hence it is declared by the Western Road Association and kindred organizations that the government should shoulder the responsibility of building adequate highways, making these vast grounds accessible, just as a city develops and improves its recreation centers. Southern California motorists in 1925 will be people of letters. This membership in the Literary Comms automatically through the new license plates for their cars, all of which will be numbered over one million and will be of the letter series to keep with his policy of paid years, the Automobile Club of Southern California has on that its membership and visitation. FUTURE AND CAR PARKING They are planning now on building an office building in San Francisco, taller than any of the recently constructed skyscrapers. It is to be the Russ building, on the site of the Russ House of early days, on Montgomery street. It will be of thirty stories, rising to a height of 100 feet and will have 350,000 feet of office rental space. But this is not particularly remarkable, as other cities go. The strictly modern thing about it is that a full basement is provided for the parking of 240 cars. Street contours in San Francisco make such utilization of basements possible, as horizontal approach can be gained at the lower cross street levels. The point of interest is that parking becoming to be recognized as a housing and not as a street problem. Also it is the latest and one of the most difficult problems of the architect to make his building conform to modern city transportation conditions. It is, of course, more difficult where the topography is flat. Can it be that what is now "ground floor" and the greatest earning basis of business structures will be given over at some future date to parking? In that remote event business structures will probably be in block units, with side corridors and bridges spanning the streets for non-railans. The institution of window shopping will thus be preserved. TIMETABLE A. T. & S. F. N., Coast Lines In effect November 29th, 1925 Trains to Los Angeles No. 79 ... 6:06 A.M. No. 71 ... 11:57 A.M.
