GROWTH OF ANAHEIM Total for 1910 was... 2,268 Total for 1920 was... 5,525 Today estimated at...12,090 VOLUME LVII STEPS TAKEN TO MEETING SPEEDY ACTION ADVOCATED AT MEETING PROJECT ENDORSED BY AL-MOST UNANIMOUS VOTE; HUNDREDS PRESENT Committee of Nine to Be Selected to Draw Boundary Lines and Determine Extent of District; Another Meeting at High School Auditorium Monday Eve, When Details andBoundaries Will Be Discussed ONCE again the people of Anaheim and vicinity have started a movement for the formation of a flood control district. Spurred to action by Harbor Bonds Victory Will Be Celebrated REPRESENTATIVE men and women of Orange county will meet in Newport Beach tonight as a tribute to that community for the progressive spirit evidenced by the almost unanimous voting of $500,000 last Monday for improvement of the harbor entrance. The group will gather in the harbor city for the regular monthly meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county and the dinner and business session will be held in the clubhouse of the Newport Harbor Yacht Club, beginning at 6:30 o'clock. According to George Raymer, secretary, R. C. Hannah of the Highway Bulb Gardens will make a 10-minute talk on the bulb industry in Orange county. "Fifty million dollars worth of bulbs are sold in America each year, and now that Uncle Sam has prohibited Holland bulbs from coming into this country, it is evident that there will be a rapid development in this industry," Raymer said. Lew H. Wallace, who has been fighting for harbor improvement for Committee of Nine to Be Selected to Draw Boundary Lines and Determine Extent of District; Another Meeting at High School Auditorium Monday Eve, When Details andBoundaries Will Be Discussed ONCE again the people of Anaheim and vicinity have started a movement for the formation of a flood control district. Spurred to action by the heavy rains and the inundation of various sections last week, they gathered, several hundred strong, at the high school auditorium, and launched a move that it is hoped, will remove the menace ever present when the turbulent Santa Ana river goes on one of its periodical rampages. Many speakers addressed the meeting, and while they differed somewhat in methods and details, there was no difference of opinion on the main question—immediate action to confine the river's flood waters within the river's channel. A motion by Charles Eygabroad to take the first step toward the formation of a protection district, and to appoint a committee to define the boundary lines, was discussed by many speakers, and finally adopted by an almost unanimous vote. The meeting was called to order by L. E. Miller, who made a short talk, explaining the situation as it now stands, and giving reasons for calling the gathering. Leonard Evans was named as chairman, and George W. Reid secretary. J. J. Dwyer was called upon by the chair to tell what he knows about protection districts, and he recited a history of former efforts to form flood control districts here. Mr. Dwyer was active in the work on previous occasions, and is well versed in all the details. Another man who has had much experience in the past in flood control work is Charles Eygabroad, and he emphatically declared that raising money for the purpose was unsatisfactory. The people of Anaheim, Fullerton, Buena Park, Garden Grove and Olinda now see the need of protection, he said, and he favored a district large enough to control the Carbon canyon menace. He made the motion that a district be found, and that a committee of seven, eight or nine men be appointed to define the boundary lines. Engineers had told him; he said, that a plan might be devised to turn the Carbon canyon water into the river. R. J. McFadden questioned this, because he said it would be difficult to make water run up hill. H. A. Lake of Garden Grove related the history of the Garden Grove district. Slice formation of the district people down there are not worrying about floods. The work cost only $90,000 and is effective. Through the assessment plan there is always plenty of money in the treasury to keep the dikes, in repair. Mr. Lake favored building the Prado dam. W. T. Wallop favored separate discussion with the clubhouse of the Newport Harbor Yacht Club, beginning at 6:30 o'clock. According to George Raymer, secretary, R. C. Hannah of the Highway Bulb Gardens will make a 10-minute talk on the bulb industry in Orange county. "Fifty million dollars worth of bulbs are sold in America each year, and now that Uncle Sam has prohibited Holland bulbs from coming into this country, it is evident that there will be a rapid development in this industry," Raymer said. Lew H. Wallace, who has been fighting for harbor improvement for 20 years, will be chairman of the meeting. Raymer says that it will be the purpose of the delegates and others attending the meeting to join in rousing activities celebrating the event of the city voting $500,000 bonds to build the east and west jetties. Missing Man Victim Of Bell Creek Flood Caretaker on J. C. Joplin Ranch Drowned Friday The body of Theodore Tutt, 63, caretaker of the J. C. Joplin ranch, in Bell creek, 30 miles east of Santa Ana, was found in Bell creek, Friday night, by George Harris, deputy county game warden, after a search of several hours. Tutt was a victim of the flood that swept through Orange county Tuesday and Wednesday. The hunt for Tutt's body began when Mrs. Tutt, who was found marooned by high waters surrounding her mountain cabin, told Harris that her husband left the house Wednesday afternoon on a horse and had not returned. Fearing that he was carried away in the flood, Harris immediately began search. It is believed that Tutt lost his life attempting to ford the swollen stream, while he was surveying damages caused by the flood waters. His horse has not been found. As soon as the body was located, the sheriff's office was notified and Coroner C. D. Brown and Deputy Sheriff Dan Adams and local undertakers left for the scene. advocated extending the district along the river's bank from the Orbea bridge to a juncture with the Garden Grove district near the Olive bridge. This will cover the most dangerous section of the stream, as official surveyors have stated that the North street bend in this city is the weakest spot in the bank from the river's source to its mouth, and when the time comes for it to cut a new channel, that is the point where it will break through, unless there is adequate protection against it. Chairman Evans Tuesday announced the appointment of the following men on the committee: L. E. Miller, mayor pro tem, of Anaheim; chairman; J. A. Prizer, Placentia; Fred Bastady, Buena Park; E. A. Yunghlth and John Cook. POSSIBILITY TO TWEEN THE ORANGE GROVES WITH CRUDE OIL TURNED TANK INTO THEIR GROVES Company owner off but the matter may also long draw Although the oil responsibility for the tank, as it was in sending an overwater against it, thief its willingness damage as much time by sending mite to scrape off their ranchers declare their land and tree incurred, and scrap would only destroy them. A meeting of this was held at Place and Ralph McFadden association of injured ported that heard secretary of the P Commerce, had cooled Union Oil Company They also made an saturated by now has surveyor extent of the dam denies all responsibility it will probably obey Dr. J. Elliott Coit California will make give an opinion as to the groves. Citrus culture, and have great weights. Immediately fell was estimated by that total damage the oil saturated 1000. It is hoped will greatly reduce At the Placeville evening, Harold W adviser, was one who gave an opinion on A surplus of oil roots or coating o tree will bring about to a "dry rot"; we arrest the development probably eventually Mr. Wahlberg decays. Discussing these some, that oil can tiller, Dr. Wayne periments in this that it in very have a beneficial nitrate production a plan might be devised to turn the Carbon canyon water into the river. R. J. McFadden questioned this, because he said it would be difficult to make water run up hill. H. A. Lake of Garden Grove related the history of the Garden Grove district. Slice formation of the district people down there are not worrying about floods. The work cost only $90,000 and is effective. Through the assessment plan there is always plenty of money in the treasury to keep the dikes in repair. Mr. Lake favored building the Prado dam. W. T. Wallop favored separate districts for each of the communities, but he declared that the main question now is immediate relief. It will take time to form a district and complete the dikes, but there is great need of temporary protection work now to make us safe through the balance of the rainy season. City Engineer E. P. Hapag spoke on the financial aspect of the question. He declared that four and a half miles of river frontage needed diking, and this would cost $80,000 per mile. He believed $400,000 would be sufficient to construct the protecting walls. To repair damages to the dikes now, he said, would require $75,000. City Manager Price, who has been directing a gang of men repairing damage and putting in temporary work, declared that the people in this section were very fortunate. Forty thousand dollars spent in work last summer served its purpose and saved the people hundreds of thousands of dollars by holding the water within the channel. Supervisor Schumacher sounded a note of warning. Another flood this winter, he declared, meant that the river would cut a new channel and abandon the old one. People are giving little consideration to the chief menace, he said. Mr. Schumacher is well acquainted with all sections of the river, and is well posted on its vagaries. The Chapman street bridge, which the county has been building, will be utterly useless should a new channel be cut on this side of it. Another meeting will be held at the same place next Monday evening, at which time details and boundary lines will be discussed. Chairman Evans will cover the most dangerous section of the stream, as official surveyors have stated that the North street bend in this city is the weakest spot in the bank from the river's source to its mouth, and when the time comes for it to cut a new channel, that is the point where it will break through, unless there is adequate protection against it. Chairman Evans Tuesday announced the appointment of the following men on the committee: L. E. Miller, mayor pro tem, of Anaheim, chairman; J. A. Prizer, Placentia; Fred Bastady, Buena Park; F. A. Yungbluth and John Cook, Anaheim; Samuel Winters, Magnolia; F. L. Turner, Stanton; W. R. Ward, East Placentia avenue, and Charles Harbeson, Burton avenue. As this meeting was called for the purpose of considering protection methods, little was said about conservation of the water. That also is a problem confronting the people, and steps must eventually be taken to bottle up the millions annually going down its channel to be lost in the sea. On the evening of February 16, there was being wasted into the Pacific ocean through the Santa Ana river channel 15,000 second-feet of water, or 30,000 acre-feet in 24 hours. That volume of water would fill the Big Bear valley reservoir full in less than two and a half days. Sufficient water is flowing into the ocean through this channel every 24 hours to irrigate 15,000 acres of land for one year. At the low average production of $100 per acre per annum this means a loss of $1,500,000 every 24 hours. To impound this vast volume of water would require several good-sized reservoirs, and this is an argument not for less, but rather for more means of conserving this all-important natural resource. It is estimated the damage caused by the high water was insignificant compared to the amount suffered in 1916, when there was damage to property in San Bernardino county of $399,895, Riverside county $605,050, and Orange county $520,500. Few people realize the enormous weight of water which falls during such a rain as we have had. Six inches of rainfall equals 675 tons of water per acre. At least two men in their radio broadcasts of damaged gerated, and one section of the benai rain would outweaken these very foolish others. Wednesday of last inches of rain for Formia, and many others here since the flood five feet between the foot Compared with that glorious rain damage done in small indeed. AHEIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, February 24, 1927 N TO FORM FLOOD CONTROL RANGERS ASK PAYMENT FOR DAMAGES DEMAND DAMAGES FOR SATURATION OF GROVES BY CRUDE PETROLEUM Claim Damages Aggregating Staggering Sum Because of Baptism of Oil Caused by Overturning of Union Oil Tank Near Atwood by Flood Waters; Meeting Held Tuesday Night to Discuss Matter POSSIBILITY of litigation between the ranchers whose orange groves were saturated with crude oil when an overturned tank released 80,000 400 Acres Are Leased for Oil Well Drillings FOUR HUNDRED acres located two miles northwest of Anaheim have been leased for oil development, with drilling operations scheduled to start by May 7, it was learned Friday. The Shell Oil Company, Superior Oil Company and the Chickskan Oil Company are the firms holding leases, with the shell having approximately $300 of the total. According to reports, the three companies have paid, as advance rentals, approximately $75,000 in cash. Those reported to have leased to the Shell are the following: Carl Helncke, A. L. Anderson, F. F. Hill, Oliver Schumacher, V. M. Moore, Dean Hasson, L. Quillian, H. Pelper, C. A. Bissitt, William Bielefeldt, J. Beck, Jean Alec, Charles Fuller and H. D. Easton. Those said to have leased to the Superior include N. Kraemer, J. J. Alec, Peter Alec and Joe Alec. The district was tested for oil about five years ago by an independent company. Oil showings were reported, but the company FLOOD DAMAGE EXAGGERATED BY PRESS PAPERS OF EAST, AS USUAL, TELL A CALAMITOUS STORY OF STORM Over 100 Telegrams, Received Here From Persons in East and North, Asking After the Welfare of Friends; Great Storm Deposits Nearly Seven Inches of Water, but Leaves Slight Loss in Drenched Area HYSTERICAL and exaggerated reports of damage caused by the storm of last week in Southern California have been broadcast by metropolitan sheets and sent throughout all the Honeydew Fig Claim Damages Aggregating Staggering Sum Because of Baptism of Oil Caused by Overturning of Union Oil Tank Near Atwood by Flood Waters; Meeting Held Tuesday Night to Discuss Matter POSSIBILITY of litigation between the ranchers whose orange groves were saturated with crude oil when an overturned tank released 80,000 barrels of the oil which was carried into their groves, and the Union Oil Company, owner of the tank, now looms, but the matter may be amicably settled, and a long drawn-out suit avoided. Although the oil company denies any responsibility for the overturning of the tank, as it was an act of Providence in sending an overwhelming flood of water against it, the company has signified its willingness to help repair the damage as much as possible at this time by sending men into the groves to scrape off the deposit of oil. The ranchers declare that the injury to their land and trees has already been incurred, and scraping the oil off now would only destroy the evidence. A meeting of the ranchers' interest was held at Placentia Tuesday night, and Ralph McFadden, chairman of the association of injured ranchers, reported that heard George Pickering, secretary of the Placentia Chamber of Commerce, had consulted officials of the Union Oil Company in Los Angeles. They also made a tour of the region saturated by the oil. The company now has surveyors investigating the extent of the damage, and while it denies all responsibility for the mishap, it will probably offer a compromise. Dr. J. Elliott Coit of the University of California will make an inspection and give an opinion as to the actual damage to the groves. He is an expert on citrus culture, and his opinion will have great weight. Immediately following the flood it was estimated by the ranch owners that the total damage to property in the oil saturated territory was $2,000-4000. It is hoped that later estimates will greatly reduce this figure. At the Placentia meeting Tuesday evening, Harold Wahlberg, county farm advisor, was one of the speakers and gave an opinion on the situation. A surplus of oil, reaching the feeder roots or coating of trunk of a citrus tree will bring about a condition similar to a "dry rot"; will yellow the leaves, arrest the development of the tree and probably eventually kill it off entirely. Mr. Wahlberg declared. Discussing the theory advanced by some, that oil can be used as a fertilizer. Dr. Waynick declared that experiments in this direction have shown that it in very small quantities does have a beneficial effect in stimulating nitrate production in the soil. TELEGRAPH WIRES HOT Judge J. S. Howard received a dispatch from his niece, living in Port cash. Those reported to have leased to the Shell are the following: Carl Helncke, A. L. Anderson, F. F. Hill, Oliver Schumacher, V. M. Moore, Dean Hasson, L. Gillian, H. Petper, C. A. Blessitt, William Blasfeldt, J. Beck, Jean Alec, Charles Fuller and H. D. Easton. Those said to have leased to the Superior Include N. Kraemer, J. J. Alec, Peter Alec and Joe Alec. The district was tested for oil about five years ago by an independent company. Oil showings were reported, but the company drilling the test well abandoned the well after reaching the 4000-foot level. RADIO MEASURE PASSES CONGRESS Awaiting President's Signature; Hailed With Joy by All Much interest was taken locally in dispatches from Washington bringing news of the passage of the radio bill in the Senate, where it had been under consideration for several days. A telegram was received at this office from Senator Shortridge, saying the radio conference report had reached the stage of unfinished business in the upper house, and that probably would pass. The senator added that he personally favored the bill and was doing all in his power to promote its passage. Many telegrams had been dispatched to both Senators Shortridge and Johnson by local residents, urging them to support the bill. For several days an effort had been made by Senator Dill of Washington to bring the bill up under unanimous consent, but objections on the part of three senators prevented such action. The bill later reached the stage of unfinished business, and news of its passage came on Friday evening by viva voce vote. Only a third of the members were present when the bill was passed. The bill is not perfect, but if it will put a stop to the intolerable interference which has been hampering reception for many months, it will be a step in the right direction. A commission of five, to be appointed by the President, will have control of radio for a year, receiving a salary of $10,000 per annum, and will act thereafter in an appellate capacity, at $30 for each day employed with management of radio taken over by the secretary of commerce. This latter official will be practically in charge of radio as was provided in the House bill, but the Senate insisted on the appointment of five commissioners, and this was agreed to by the House in conference. The bill is designed to prevent monopolies, to control wave lengths, to regulate the number and power of stations, chain-broadcasting, the length of time stations may broadcast, and to cash. Here From Persons in East and North, Asking After the Welfare of Friends; Great Storm Deposits nearly Seven Inches of Water, near Leaves Slight Loss in Drenched Area HYSTERICAL and exaggerated reports of damage caused by the storm of last week in Southern California have been broadcast by metropolitan sheets and sent to papers throughout all United States by representatives of the press association. According to these dispatches, a large portion of Anaheim had been inundated and hundreds of its inhabitants were homeless and in a deplorable condition, and perhaps many of its citizens drowned. Judge J. S. Howard received a telegram from a niece who lives in the state of Washington, anxiously inquiring if all the members of the family were safe, and if their home had been destroyed. The Western Union office reports that more than a hundred telegrams have been received from persons in various sections of the country seeking information as to the fate of relatives and friends living here. There is no excuse for the gentlemen of the press, who are paid to give accurate information on the happenings of the day, broadcasting such misleading reports. Southern California experienced the heaviest rainstorm for the period of its duration ever recorded by the weather bureau since its establishment, but the damage compared to the benefits, was slight. There was a continuous rain for four days and nights, and the precipitation in Anaheim was almost seven inches. This was a record-breaker for the time it lasted. Other points in the Southland reported even a heavier fall. Naturally, such an unprecedented downpour did some damage because of the swollen streams, barrancas and ditches. While the Santa Ana river was full to its brim, the protection work along its banks in this section held. There was a break in the dike near Yorba, several miles to the east, letting a flood of water on adjacent ranches, and another, later on. This side of it, but the level in the river began to fall shortly afterward, eliminating all danger in this vicinity. The worst that happened to Anaheim was the baptism of crude oil. A river flood waters sweeping down from Carbon canyon undermined and turned an oil tank belonging to the Union Oil Company, and carried on its crest the contents of the tank, 80,000 barrels of oil, through the low land of the north and to the west of the city. While some of this oil was carried on by the flood and eventually reached the ocean, a large portion of it was deposited on lawns and in the groves. It is estimated that 2000 acres of oranges are covered with a deposit of oil, and it is feared that heavy damage will result. This unfortunate state of affairs extends as far west as Garden Grove.

S. Howard received a dispatch from his niece, living in Port Angeles, Wash., several days ago, asking concerning his welfare and that of his family, following the publication of hurdled newspaper stories concerning great floods sweeping over this section. The judge immediately replied that he and his family were enjoying the best of health; that we had had a glorious rain; that he had seen no flood, and that all hands were "sittin' pretty." More than one hundred similar telegrams have come to residents here from relatives in many states, who have been led to believe that great floods have swept over the city. Wires were kept pretty hot for a day or two, sending back words of reassurance that everything was fine as a fiddle; that we had had a glorious rain, and that the damage from flood water was trifling. The Los Angeles daily papers are largely to blame for sending out these very foolish reports, but there are others. At least two newspapers announced in their radio broadcast that first reports of damage were greatly exaggerated, and one declared that in many sections the benefits of the glorious rain would outweigh the losses! In four days, from Sunday until Wednesday of last week, nearly seven inches of rain fell in Southern California, and many section reported more. This is the heaviest rain that has fallen here since the flood of 1862, when water stood five feet high for many days between the foothills and the ocean. Compared with the rich blessings which the glorious rain has brought us, the damage done in Southern California is small indeed. Now they are charging crookedness in some of the chess tournaments. Next thing you know they will be telling us that the croquet games are fixed, too... The bill is designed to prevent monopolies, to control wave lengths, to regulate the number and power of stations, chain-broadcasting, the length of time stations may broadcast, and to prevent discrimination and excessive charges for transmission. There are at the present time more than six hundred applications on file in Washington for broadcasters' licenses, two hundred of which are from Southern California. Passage of the bill will end the possibility of these broadcasters coming on the air without permission. Many broadcasters are now operating without having received a renewal of their license, and many have not even deigned to comply with former provisions that licenses be renewed every three months. Failure of the last congress to pass a radio bill has thrown the entire matter into chaos. These broadcasters are all making money. It seems to make little difference to them whether they destroy reception or not. Two hundred more such stations in Southern California would make confusion worse confounded. The present radio bill will regulate these things, and will be a long step in the right direction.

Leaves unched Area exaggerated are caused by skin in Southbeen broadsheets and Honeymooners Fight Way Out Of Storm Zone AROONED at Idyllwild on their honeymoon. Herbert Eldred of the county assessor's office and his bride, formerly May Louise Pierce, fought their way through a storm-swept mountain region to reach home, late Sunday. Mrs. Eldred was the first woman to get through from the resort in the San Jacinto mountains, where 100 persons are awaiting reopening of the road and arrival of supplies. Forced to leave their car and radio at the resort, Eldred and his wife, with a guide, packed 14 miles afoot over trails, and part of the time along the remnants of the road they had traversed a week before in their car, going into the mountains. The San Jacinto river, they found, had played havoc with the road. At one point it had cut a new channel through the roadway, missing its bridge completely. Reaching the Perris valley, they found more evidence of the storm, in ruined bouleards. Ten miles out of San Jacinto they were picked up by a motorist and taken to that town, where they hired a car to bring them the rest. BIOGRAPHIES OF ORANGE COUNTY PHYSICIANS DR. BALL ISSUES INTERESTING BOOK AT BEHEST OF HISTORICAL SOCIETY Gives Short Sketch of Every Doctor Who Has Practiced Medicine in Orange County Since the Coming of Pioneers; Dr. Heyermann, Who Came to Anaheim in 1862, Heads the List as the First Physician AN INTERESTING volume, entitled "Orange County Medical History," has just been issued by Dr. C. D. Ball of Santa Ana. It gives a biography and spicy sketch of all the physicians who Opens New Jewelry Establishment Here E. J. Wiseman, New Owner, Enlarging Jewel Box E. J. Wiseman has purchased the Jewel Box and is purchasing his establishment with a largely increased stock of goods, which he is now showing the public. Mr. Wiseman is an experienced jeweler, having been in this business 32 years. He is making many friends in town, and will undoubtedly work up a very fine business. After looking over Southern California for several months, he selected Anaheim as the city that offered the best advantages, and will become a permanent member of the business community. Attention is directed to his advertisement on another page, and we bespeak for him the general support of our citizens. There is room here for a first-class establishment such as Mr. Wiseman will conduct, and he will become a valuable addition to the business firms of the city. At present, Mr. and Mrs. Wiseman are stopping at the Angellina hotel, but plan to purchase a home here in the near future. They have a daughter, who is now visiting Mr. Wiseman's mother in Buffalo, N.Y. She Is expected to join them later. Mr. Wiseman comes from Harrodsburg, Ky., where he was in the jewelry business for 32 years. He is filling his store with new stock every day. Harrodsburg, Mr. Wiseman's former home, is the oldest town in Kentucky, and has an interesting history dating from 1774, two years before the Declaration of Independence; and at one time was the home of Daniel Boone. Frank White, treasurer of the United States, was an Orange county visitor Tuesday, stopping for a short time at the residence of his cousin, R. W. George, in La Habra. White was accompanied to La Habra by Edward Brown of Rockford, Ill., an official of the Illinois Central Railroad; Mrs. Julia Doctor Who Has Practiced Medicine in Orange County Since the Coming of Pioneers; Dr. Heyermann, Who Came to Anaheim in 1862; Heads the List as the First Physician AN INTERESTING volume, entitled "Orange County Medical History," has just been issued by Dr. C. D. Ball of Santa Ana. It gives a biography and spicy sketch of all the physicians who have practiced in Orange county, from the Pioneers to the latest comers. Dr. Ball, the author, is one of the old-timers, coming to Santa Ana 40 years ago. He is one of Southern California's most prominent physicians, and is now serving as Orange county's representative in the state legislature. This book was written at the request of the Orange County Historical Society, of which Dr. Ball is president. In his foreword, the author says that his information relative to the old-time doctors has been gleaned from family bibles, genealogies, tombstones, state and county records, and personal interviews with the earliest settlers. He extends thanks in his foreword to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kuchel of The Gazette, and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Armor; formerly of the Orange Post, for information relative to physicians of the early days. With many of the sketches he is able to give photographs, but had considerable difficulty in securing some of them. The first sketch in the volume is that of Dr. John August F. Heyermann, the pioneer doctor of Orange county. He arrived in Anaheim in 1862, coming here from Guaymas, Mexico, where he had resided for several years. He opened a drug store here and also practiced medicine. In 1873 he moved to San Francisco, and died there in 1888. He was the father of Mrs. Joseph Backs, and grandfather of County Clerk J. M. Backs. Dr. George H. Bailey, who came here in 1875, is given quite a lengthy sketch by the author. Being a Southerner, having been born in Georgia, he was a physician in the Confederate army during the Civil war, and Dr. Ball inserts in his sketch an account from an old record of his heroic work at the battle of Sabine Pass. Dr. Bailey was in poor health for many years, and tried the climate of various points in California and Arizona. He died here in 1909. He was the father of Mrs. Henry Kuchel. Dr. James H. Bullard arrived in Anaheim in 1884 and remained here 11 years, moving to Los Angeles in 1895. He finally retired from practice. Dr. William N. Hardin was Anaheim's second physician. He was a Virginian by birth, born in 1826, and came here about 1869. He died in 1897 of cancer. Dr. James S. Gardiner was one of the earliest physicians of Anaheim, coming here in 1870 from Knoxville, Tenn. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1840, but came to America with his parents at the age of 9. He died here in 1905. He was postmaster at Gladstone.

Although the Santa Ana river was a raging torrent, the channel being filled to its utmost capacity, the protection work in this vicinity held and the flood swept safely down to the ocean. There was a break of 200 feet in the dike near Yorba, and later another break this side of it. Ranches in that neighborhood were inundated. Phone messages were sent to residents on North street early Thursday morning, advising them to move out, as a flood might be precipitated upon them by reason of the break. It failed to come, as the water in the river had already reached the crest and was receding. Only the immediate neighborhood of the break was affected by it. Henry Kuchel. Dr. James H. Bullard arrived in Anaheim in 1884 and remained here 11 years, moving to Los Angeles in 1895. He finally retired from practice. Dr. William N. Hardin was Anaheim's second physician.

He died here in 1905. He was postmaster at Anaheim during President Cleveland's first term. He was the father of Mrs. Ella Coons of this city. Another of the old-time physicians was Dr. Alice Higgins, wife of Dr. W. H. Higgins, a druggist. She came to Anaheim in 1869, and was the pioneer woman physician of Orange county. She died here in 1890. Dr. V. D'Assonville is mentioned as one of the early physicians. He arrived here in the early seventies and operated a drug store in connection with his practice. He lived here only a few years, then moved to Compton. Dr. Reginald A. Ferguson, a Scotchman, came here from London, England, in 1877. The list of degrees conferred upon him by universities and societies in England and Ireland was so long that the initial letters would fill two lines of this column. He built a sanitarium at the corner of Lemon and Chestnut streets. It is still standing, and is known as Moose hall—a brick structure almost completely covered with ivy. Dr. John H. Yocum came to this city in 1874, and died here six years later. He came from Pennsylvania and was a graduate of the state university of his native state. He was born in 1832. These are the principal doctors of Anaheim whom Dr. Ball classifies under the head of "Ploneers." His palm-taking research resulted in a short sketch of every physician who ever practiced in Orange county, from Dr. Heyermann, the first, down to the present day.
