S OF LONG AGO Issued Half-a Century and a Quarter of a Century by Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1902 On Wednesday evening of last week Santa Ana high school defeated the Anaheim high school in the Orange county oratorical contest. The contest was very close, and it was not until the judges figured some time that they found Santa Ana had won. A short historical sketch of the medals and contest will be of interest. The Orange county oratorical contests were originated in 1900 by William Starbuck of Fullerton. Starbuck offered two medals as prizes: one for the school making the highest score, and one for the individual receiving the greatest number of points. In 1900 the school medal was won by the Anaheim high school. Bernard Snyder and Arthur G. Baker, both of the Anaheim high school, tied for the individual medal, whereup Starbuck ordered two medals struck, one for each. The medals are open only to the senior and middle classes. This year Major S. H. Finley of Santa Ana, feeling that the lower classes in the high schools should be represented, has supplemented the Starbuck prizes by offering a medal for the best essay presented by some member from the junior class, and a medal for the best declamation made by some member from the sub-junior class. The program for the evening was as follows: Invocation Instrumental Duet... Misses May and Irene Cargill Oration—"The Undue Cityward Movement of Our Population" Barret Case Ovation—"Our Duty to Our Old Soldiers on Decoration Day" Fay McKean Ovation... "The Beer War" Chinese Pheasants Exterminating Bugs Many reports praising the work done by Chinese ring-necked pheasants in the cleaning up of bugs and insects in the agricultural areas in which they have been planted have reached the office of B. D. Marx Greene, executive officer of the fish and game commission. A number of the farmers on whose places pheasants have been planted in California have reported that the birds are very welcome and do not damage grain or garden truck, but do keep up a constant attack on the bugs and insects. It is interesting to note also that reports from other states confirm the often expressed opinion that in addition to being a fine game bird the pheasant is a boon to the agriculturist. W. E. Albert, state game warden of Iowa, has recently contributed an article on these birds to American Game, the official bulletin of the American Game Protective Association. Mr. Albert praises the birds and declares that he has proven conclusively that the pheasants planted in Iowa do not attack standing corn, but do get the cut worms that are a menace to this great Iowa crop. The crops of a number of pheasants were examined and found to contain plenty of noxious insects, worms and grubs of a destructive nature. In one county 7000 birds were trapped for investigation and breeding purposes and 60,000 eggs were collected. Heavy increases have been noted in Iowa, Mr. Albert continues, of quail and Hungarian partridges. The partridges are characterized by the Iowa warden as splendid game birds. The bureau of game and fish in the state of Nebraska has just completed a survey of the pheasant in that state and has declared that 97 per cent of the farmers have reported that the birds are decidedly beneficial. The food of the pheasant is rated in his order: insects and bugs, waste grain, weed seed, grain and garden trunk, which indicates that the pheasant only eats domestic products when there is nothing else to feed upon. This year Major S. H. Finley of Santa Ana, feeling that the lower classes in the high schools should be represented, has supplemented the Starbuck prizes by offering a medal for the best essay presented by some member from the junior class, and a medal for the best declamation made by some member from the sub-junior class.

Santa Ana has won twice and Anaheim once. Deputy Sheriff Sleeper was in town on Tuesday, summoning jurors in the case of Coyote Reyes, charged with thrusting a poinard into the vitals of Steve Barker. The latter was, some weeks ago, thought to be on his death bed, but has pulled himself together sufficiently to answer summons for the third trial. He was able to come down town the other day from the hospital to be shaved. Mr. and Mrs. George Case have returned to their home in Fullerton from Indio for a brief stay, accompanied by their little daughter, who has been ill.
