IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1877 The adjourned meeting of the Anaheim Water Company was held on Saturday afternoon at Kroeger's hall. Mr. J. B. Pierce read a letter from Captain Northam. He is of opinion that no arrangement between the ditch companies can be made at present. Mr. J. W. Shanklin said that a meeting of the directors of the Cajon Irrigation Company would be held that afternoon and would frame a set of propositions to submit to the Anaheim Water Company at their next meeting. The meeting was then adjourned to meet on Saturday next. At the meeting of the Cajon Irrigation Company it was resolved to present the following propositions to the committee of the Anaheim Water Company at their next meeting: First—After the canal of the Cajon company is so far completed as to supply the Anaheim Water Company with water, the Anaheim company at its own expense making the connecting ditch, the Cajon irrigation company on the Anaheim Water Company taking stock in it, will furnish the said Anaheim Water Company any water it may need, not exceeding the proportion in regard to the entire supply of water, that the stock so subscribed bears to the capital stock. The price of said water to be 25 per cent below the lowest stockholder's rate. Second—That the Cajon Irrigation Company will furnish the amount of water required by the Anaheim Water Company at a point on the ditch of the Cajon Irrigation Company in the Canyon de Santa Ana Rancho to be determined on hereafter, at a yearly rental of...dollars, provided that the said amount required and furnished does not exceed one-fourth of the amount of water actually running in the ditch. The said ing the connecting ditch, the Cajon irrigation company on the Anaheim Water Company taking stock in it, will furnish the said Anaheim Water Company any water it may need, not exceeding the proportion in regard to the entire supply of water, that the stock so subscribed bears to the capital stock. The price of said water to be 25 per cent below the lowest stockholder's rate. Second—That the Cajon Irrigation Company will furnish the amount of water required by the Anaheim Water Company at a point on the ditch of the Cajon Irrigation Company in the Canyon de Santa Ana Rancho to be determined on hereafter, at a yearly rental of...dollars, provided that the said amount required and furnished does not exceed one-fourth of the amount of water actually running in the ditch. The said contract to begin January 1, 1878. The board of supervisors has issued the usual proclamation for the judicial election, to be held on Wednesday, the seventeenth instant. The polling places in the various precincts in the southern portion of the county, together with the names of the inspectors and judges are as follows: Anaheim—At office of J. W. Clark. Inspector, E. W. Champlin. Judges, John Fischer and David Evey. Westminster—At schoolhouse. Inspector, John Y. Anderson. Judges, Robert Strong and M. B. Craig. San Juan Capistrano—At schoolhouse.

Davis & Brother are shipping their entire stock of drygoods, clothing, boots and shoes to Arizona, in charge of C. C. Sweetzer and Louis Mendelson. Messrs. Davis & Brother will hereafter confine their trade exclusively to groceries and hardware, of which they have an immense and well selected stock. Almost all of the bee men of Santiago canyon have moved their hives to the valley for the winter, owing to the scarcity of feed. The people of Santa Ana and Orange are much excited over the change made by the board of supervisors in annexing Upper Santa Ana precinct to Anaheim township. The very remarkable potato famine now existing in Anaheim should be taken advantage of by Messrs. Heiman & Sorenson to push their Alden dried spuds on the market. We can assure housewives who have never used fruits or vegetables which have undergone this process that they can have no idea of how natural such fruits or vegetables taste. Alden dried potatoes, for instance, when cooked in accordance with the very simple directions accompanying the package, look an dtaste just like the "natural" vegetable, and he would be a clever expert who could tell the difference. The present scarcity of potatoes in the market gives a good opportunity to test this statement. The Bremermann insurance case was on trial before the court commissioner yesterday. Messrs.

Reiser and Athearn were in attendance as witnesses. The Anaheim Water Company will recommence selling water today. Gospel Swamp will be represented at the fair by some of its mammoth productions. In looking over the list of freight forwarded from the depot yesterday, we came across the following entry: "One beet, weight 111 pounds; five squashes, 730 pounds; one bundle corn." One of these squashes, so the agent informed us, weighed 196 pounds. The cornstalks were each 15 feet in height, and there were from three to five ears of corn on each. Frim Mr. Hull we hearn that the Westminster Co-operative Store Company has dispatched four teams to Arizona loaded with barley, bacon, dried grapes, etc. Thirty-three carloads of lumber have been received at the depot for A. Guy Smith & Company during the past few days. Mr. Frank Ey and bride arrived on the train last evening from San Francisco. Thompson and Mayer, the leaders of the Los Angeles hoodlum gang, have been found guilty of assaulting an officer. They will be sentenced on Tuesday. The business connection which Mr. M. A. Mendelson has made with a Los Angeles firm gives him great facilities for procuring the very latest styles of goods. Col. B. D. Wilson has offered to lease his wharf at Wilmington for $5 per month. The joint exposition opened in Los Angeles on Wednesday with great eclat. The attendance was large, but the agricultural display is rather meagre. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1902 On October 23, 24 and 25 there will be held the Catholic fair in the opera house. As is well known by our readers, a beautiful church edifice has been begun, which reflects credit to our city and to the denomination whose house of worship it will be. To aid the building fund it has been deemed advisable to hold a church fair which will last for three days. Each evening an oratorical and musical program will be held. The opening address will be given by the Hon. Judge Ballard of Santa Ana. There will be a number of booths—the fancy work and domestic booth, the Japanese and fish pond, the oil well booth and the wheel of fortune, the ice cream parlor, Rebecca’s fountain, the shooting gallery, and the election booth, where woman suffrage is encouraged. The officers of the fair are: Mrs. F. Shanley, president; Mrs. Joseph Backs, vice-president; Mrs. A. Rimpau, secretary. Dinner and lunch will be served. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Anaheim turners will entertain visiting turners from all points of Southern California, the occasion being the annual turnfest, which is participated in by turners of Southern California. A number of ladies met at Backs hall on Sunday afternoon and organized a Ladies’ Euchre Club. Mrs. Hamrick of Olive was chosen president. It was decided to name the club the Miercoles Club, which is Spanish for Wednesday. The first meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Schneider Wednesday Vocational Training In Agriculture Given Many Benefits Will Be Derived From the System Does it pay? That's the question being asked now of almost every kind of human activity. Not how good or how satisfying is it, but does it pay? It's the question being asked of vocational agricultural instruction. Does it pay? The question cannot be ignored. In the first place, because agricultural education, particularly of the vocational type, is comparatively new, and new things must justify themselves; must stand the brunt of public scrutiny. In the second place, because vocational education must pay to justify its existence. Its finished product must have greater earning power; must contribute more to the welfare and wellbeing of the state. Cultural education is never questioned thus. It cannot pay in dollars and cents. It must pay in satisfaction, and satisfaction is seldom measured in terms of monetary return. The taxpayer has a right to know if he is getting returns on his tax money. The general public is well aware that his burden is not light. He would be a foolhardy individual at best, who would continue to pour his wealth into the public coffers without occasionally asking for an accounting. Education is a slow-moving thing. It manifests its effects only over comparatively long periods of time. A generation must pass before definite results can be isolated. Still, vocational agricultural education, little more than a decade old, with little behind it except trial and experimentation, but with unlimited opportunity ahead, can lay its finger upon a few real facts and point with pride at some worth-while accomplishment. "Many surveys made in various parts of the country clearly indicate that a high school education is of much financial advantage, and that education On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Anaheim turners will entertain visiting turners from all points of Southern California, the occasion being the annual turnfest, which is participated in by turners of Southern California. A number of ladies met at Backs hall on Sunday afternoon and organized a Ladies' Euchre Club. Mrs. Hamrick of Olive was chosen president. It was decided to name the club the Miercoles Club, which is Spanish for Wednesday. The first meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Schneider Wednesday afternoon next. Reports from New York City show that the Old Mission brand of oranges, grown and packed by C. C. Chapman of Placentia, have established another record for high prices, having sold for $14 a box, an average of 14½ cents each. This sale was made last Wednesday. The Old Mission oranges have held the record for the past six years. The Santa Isabel ranch, where the fruit is raised is in the famous Placentia district. All the fruit from this property is packed on the ranch, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chapman, and packing is done every week in the year. The walls of Mrs. Mitchell's brick building are going up. A force of a dozen mechanics are employed on the structure, which will be pushed rapidly toward completion. Republicans of West Anaheim are arranging for a meeting to be held at the West End schoolhouse one evening next week. Judge Ballard and Charles C. Chapman will be the speakers, and the Republican candidates will be present and make their bow. Announcement is made of the engagement of Lelburn Gardiner to Miss Anna Vail of Fullerton, two of Orange county's best known young people. The wedding will take place at the residence of the bride's parents, the afternoon of the fifteenth instant. City Electrician Lewis and Joseph Hatfield are stringing wires across the streets for the colored electric lights to be displayed in honor of the turnfest, which begins here on Saturday and lasts three days. George Hunter informs us that he will begin to receive walnuts for the association at the packing house at Loara on Tuesday. He had intended to begin on Monday, but had to be a witness in a trial which begins in the superior court on that day, and will put off the work until next day. Del Woodward and Miss Annie Cook, a former Fullerton young lady, were married at the home of the bride in El Toro Sunday night. Rev. Enoch Sweet officiated. Mr. and Mrs. Woodward will live in Fullerton. Harry Hanna, who has been absent in the Hawaiian islands during the past four years, is expected home in a few days on a visit to his parents at Miraflores. William Falkenstein's young son won the second prize at the Orange County Baby Show, and now you cannot touch papa with a ten-foot pole. Mrs. Nagle and son, who have been visiting relatives in Indiana for three months past, returned to their home here yesterday. It manifests its effects only over comparatively long periods of time. A generation must pass before definite results can be isolated. Still, vocational agricultural education, little more than a decade old, with little behind it except trial and experimentation, but with unlimited opportunity ahead, can lay its finger upon a few real facts and point with pride at some worth-while accomplishment. "Many surveys made in various parts of the country clearly indicate that a high school education is of much financial advantage, and that education for the farmer leads to the definite conclusion that even a common school education is of distinctly greater financial advantage than no education at all, and that the years spent in high school and college are well repaid by increased earning capacity when farm activities are undertaken." So states F. A. Merrill, specialist in agricultural education of the United States department of agriculture. Mr. Merrill continues: "Not only does an education pay the individual, but it pays the state in the greater earning capacity of its individual members, in a decrease of illiteracy, and in a higher standard of living which usually results with increased earning capacity." Mr. Merrill then summarizes the findings of surveys made in 12 widely scattered states of the Union. A survey in Texas showed that every day a boy spent in school increased his earning capacity $9.25. In Georgia, farmers without any schooling earned $240 per year; those with common school education, $65.50; a high school educated farmer earned $64.50; farmers with a short course in agricultural education earned $89.95; while the man with a college agricultural education made $1254, or more than a thousand dollars more than the farmer with no education at all. Similar surveys in Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa resulted in the statement that "unquestionably, one of the best things for a young man who intends to become a farmer is a good high school education. Many farmers with very little schooling succeed, but these same men would do better if they had had the opportunity of further training. No one ever hears a farmer regret that he spent a part of his early life in school." This survey showed that the average labor income of over five hundred farmers increased from $586 for those with no schooling to $3351 for those with college educations. In Kansas, the common school educated farmer earned $422, the college trained farmer $1452. The educated farmer in Missouri had increased his earning capacity 40 per cent, or enough to pay the interest on $3700 worth of additional capital investment. The college graduates in Wisconsin earned 50 per cent more than the man with a common school education. In Ohio, the agriculturally trained man made $5, where his untrained neighbor made only $1. Harry Hanna, who has been absent in the Hawaiian islands during the past four years, is expected home in a few days on a visit to his parents at Miraflores. William Falkenstein’s young son won the second prize at the Orange County Baby Show, and now you cannot touch papa with a ten-foot pole. Mrs. Nagle and son, who have been visiting relatives in Indiana for three months past, returned to their home here yesterday. Mons. A. Lerracq, a prosperous horticulturist of the Buena Park country, was in town a day or two ago on a brief business mission. Miss Myrtle Harrington and Tenis Hanson were married on Wednesday last at the home of the bride's parents, at Fullerton, Rev. W. G. Cowan of Arlington officiating. They will live on the groom's ranch at Fullerton. James Kahout, who has been employed on the Santa Isabel rancho, and Miss Addie Elliott of Woodbine, Iowa, were married in Los Angeles last Sunday. Miss Elliott came direct from her old home, where she and Mr. Kahout had become engaged, to meet her fiance in Los Angeles. They were married at the home of Rev. A. C. Smithers, pastor of the Christian church in that city. Mr. and Mrs. Kahout returned to Fullerton Monday and are living on the ranch. Now is the time to order your new fall suit. F. A. Yunbluth has the largest stock of fall suits ever shown in Orange county, and will guarantee you a perfect fit. Robert Bossart advertises Muscat grapes for sale at 1 cent a pound. He lives on Orangethorpe avenue, Fullerton. Charles Federman leaves in a few days for San Francisco to purchase his stock of winter goods. Mrs. Strodthoff will entertain the Ladies' Euchre Club this afternoon. W. P. Quarton offers $5 reward for the return to him at Federman's store of an English pointer which strayed away several days ago. In Kansas, the common school educated farmer earned $422, the college trained farmer $1452. The educated farmer in Missouri had increased his earning capacity 40 per cent, or enough to pay the interest on $3700 worth of additional capital investment. The college graduates in Wisconsin earned 50 per cent more than the man with a common school education. In Ohio, the agriculturally trained man made $5, where his untrained neighbor made only $1. Fourteen hundred and fifty-three dollars more was earned by the college graduate in Washington state, according to Professor Johnson of that state. Three years additional of college work increased the farmer's earning power 63.3 per cent in Maryland. In New York, it was found that, "the high school education" of a farmer is equivalent on an average to $6000 worth of 5 per cent bonds." All of which may explain why 145 high schools in California offered agriculture in 1926, where there was only one in 1909 and the enrollment increased from 172 in 1917 to 3014 in 1927. The proof of the pudding seems to be in the eating of it. High school agriculture students made a labor income of $210,000 last year from their project work. In North Carolina, in 1923, if the average yield of corn had equalled that produced by agricultural students, $32,-358,080 would have been added to the farmers' income, if the price had remained the same. In addition to all the above, it has been shown that vocational agriculture in the high school keeps the boy in school longer, graduates more of its entrants, increases ownership of farms, and sends more of its students back to the farm. Does this answer the question? Does vocational agricultural education pay? We don't know what President Coolidge is going to do when he gets out of office, but our guess is that if he moves on a farm he will be able to make it pay without much help from congress.
