IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a C Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic H of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1877 From Mr. Richard H. Gilman we yesterday learned that four miles of the Cajon ditch are now completed and that the force is at work cleaning out and putting in repair the ditch built under the Bush law. Only two and one-half miles of the new ditch are yet to be constructed, and it can be safely said that in ten weeks all the earth work will be finished, leaving only the flumes to be built to put the ditch in thorough working order. There are ten flumes on the entire line, one of which is nearly completed. The lumber for the first five flumes was purchased from A. Guy Smith & Company, and the balance of the lumber (215,000 feet) will arrive here about the first of December. That the ditch will be completed is beyond the possibility of a doubt, but it is of course desirable that there be as little delay as possible. Therefore, friends of the movement should subscribe for al of the stock they can afford to carry, and thus enable the managers to increase the working force. A non-suit was entered in the district court in the suit of the Anaheim Water Company vs. Amos Wright, et al. The grounds upon which Judge McNealy decided are as follows: The last legislature enacted a law requiring all existing corporations to file their articles of incorporation with the clerk of the counties in which the corporation transacted business. The Anaheim Water Company, having filed their articles with the county clerk in 1860, took no further action. Judge McNealy holds A non-suit was entered in the district court in the suit of the Anaheim Water Company vs. Amos Wright, et al. The grounds upon which Judge McNealy decided are as follows: The last legislature enacted a law requiring all existing corporations to file their articles of incorporation with the clerk of the counties in which the corporation transacted business. The Anaheim Water Company, having filed their articles with the county clerk in 1860, took no further action. Judge McNealy holds that they ought to have re-filed their articles, after the enactment of the law mentioned, and that by the omission they have incurred the penalty attached to non-compliance—inability to maintain an action. The case will be appealed to the supreme court. The board of town trustees, at their meeting yesterday, instructed Mr. Kirby to proceed to Los Angeles on Monday and interview Mr. Hansen on the subject of completing the survey. If he will not complete the job promptly, the council proposes to employ somebody who will. We learn that Dr. E. L. Cowan has rented an office in Santa Ana, and that he will visit that burg on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week. We can assure our readers that Dr. Cowan is a thorough master of his profession and a pleasant gentleman. On last Thursday night two valuable cows were stolen from the place of Mr. J. J. Dyer, near town. On Saturday, Marshal Wartenberg and an assistant started out in search of the stolen animals. They found two trails diverging, showing that the thieves had separated, each taking one of the cows. While Wartenberg followed one trail, his assistant followed the other, and after tracking the animals and thieves to the Chino ranch, Puente, and other settlements, the officers met about one and a half miles east of the Monte river, where the trails met. From thence they followed traces until they came to a field about two miles north of El Monte, where they found the cows quietly grazing. This field belonged to a Mr. McGarvin and another man. Subsequent inquiries developed the fact that McGarvin, who is a butcher, purchased the animals from a couple of Mexicans. Upon being informed of the circumstances, the purchasers started in pursuit of the parties who sold them the cows and a dispatch received here on Monday afternoon stated that they had succeeded in effecting their capture. Mr. Dyer will recover his cattle safe and sound upon making the necessary affidavit of ownership. The Fairview Sunday school was reorganized last Sunday. Mr. Simon B. Smith was re-elected superintendent, and Mr. Edward Evey assistant superintendent for the ensuing year. Mr. Frank P. Marsh was elected secretary and treasurer; Irwin Kellogg, librarian, and Miss Emma Clark, organist. The secretary's report showed a total attendance of over 1250 for the year, averaging over 24 attendants each Sabbath. The treasurer reported a balance of $12.50 in the treasury. This school has enjoyed a good degree of interest and prosperity the past year, and expects no less in the year to come. At a meeting of the Anaheim Water Company on Saturday, Messrs. Reiser, Langenberger, and Cahill were appointed a committee to confer with the Cajon Irrigation Company. The president, Mr. Scott, was subsequently added to the committee. Edward Evey assistant superintendent for the ensuing year. Mr. Frank P. Marsh was elected secretary and treasurer; Irwin Kellogg, librarian, and Miss Emma Clark, organist. The secretary's report showed a total attendance of over 1250 for the year, averaging over 24 attendants each Sabbath. The treasurer reported a balance of $12.50 in the treasury. This school has enjoyed a good degree of interest and prosperity the past year, and expects no less in the year to come. At a meeting of the Anaheim Water Company on Saturday, Messrs. Reiser, Langenberger, and Cahill were appointed a committee to confer with the Cajon Irrigation Company. The president, Mr. Scott, was subsequently added to the committee. The trustees were given power to lease the company's lot on the corner of Los Angeles and Center street for two years. Among the business changes during the week, we note that of Mr. C. Mosseman, who will in the future conduct the restaurant in the Anaheim hotel. In thus securing a location near the business center of the town, Mr. Mosseman is fortunate and will undoubtedly do a greatly increased business in his new quarters. The Los Angeles Star pays the following compliment to a fellow newspaper man: "And now Mr. George Washington Barter, a former ordinary newspaper writer of this city and an acknowledged 'masher' of feminine hearts, and an accomplished dead beat in every sense of the word, is to be married to an Oakland heiress in a few weeks. The lady is young, beautiful, and accomplished, and the possessor of a quarter of a million. Some two years ago, when a mere girl, she got 'stuck' after G. Washington B., but her parents sent her off to Europe, so that the flame kindled in her susceptible buzzum might be quenched. But it didn't quench worth a fig.. Her father, in the meantime, generously died, and she at once returned, and may now be seen driving her gold mounted phaeton down Broadway, Oakland, daily with George W. B. by her side. Well, we must all live and learn. The lady is younger than Barter's eldest daughter." Mr. Henry Kroeger is expected to arrive from San Francisco this evening. Mr. M. L. Goodman left on Monday for San Francisco. The purpose of his visit is to select a large stock of new goods for the coming winter season. Judge Sepulveda has for the second time decided that the Board of Public Works Act is unconstitutional. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1902 Returns from all but two small precincts in Orange county show the election of the following candidates: George C. Pardee for governor carries the county against Franklin K. Lane by 832 votes. Daniels for congress defeats Smythe by 862 votes. Amerige for the assembly has 707 votes over Bishop. West for superior judge ran 474 ahead of Daniels. Potter for treasurer has a margin of 25 over Joplin. Beckett rolls up an old-fashioned majority of 755 over Patterson. Captain Hall for auditor has a working majority of 694 over White. Joe Nichols is defeated for sheriff the second time by Theodore Lacy by 144 votes. Robinson (D) for tax collector defeats Wright by 351. Head (D) defeats Langley for district attorney by 52 votes. George rolls up the largest majority ever recorded in the history of the county—1415 over Captain Ahlborn. Frank Vegely for assessor makes good over Brigadier-General Booty by 715. Finley for surveyor builds a reservoir dam over the Sherwood to the tune of 218 votes. Nichols for school superintendent has a safe majority of 277 over Zielian. George Smith defeats Dr. Mills for coroner by 77 votes. Howard defeats Shanley for justice of the peace by the close majority of three votes. A light vote was polled in town. Only 141 votes were cast in precinct No. 1, where 210 were registered. The election board in precinct No. 2 in this city holds the record for fast counting. It was composed of Joe Hatfield, Julius Schneider, Chet Holcomb, Fred Backs, Louie Kroeger, Fred Mickel, Veit Bentz, and John Brunsworth. The board counted 117 votes, over several of which they consumed some time in argument, and closed the poll at 9. License Date Fixed Two Weeks Earlier Motorists May Now Get Their Plates on December 15 The revival of an arrangement practiced in the division of motor vehicles until four years ago which would permit California motorists to secure their license plates two weeks earlier was announced by Frank G. Snook, chief of the division. It previously has been the custom to start renewals of licenses on January 1 and to keep the counters open thereafter for 30 days. This caused a heavy rush and frequent delays for the motorists in securing their new plates. Snook proposes to go back to the old arrangement of starting renewals on December 15. Motorists will thus have an additional 15 days in which to secure license plates and thereby receive an additional service. The arrangement would eliminate the peak load from the division, provide more time for breaking in new clerks and in general make for a smoother running renewal machinery. The motor vehicle chief does not believe the expense will be any greater since the plan will eliminate, to a large degree, the necessity of keeping a large force of extra clerks on the payroll after the renewal period for "clean-up" purposes. With the new arrangement in mind, Snook announced, beginning December 1, motorists would be invited to forward their applications and license fee of $3 to the division. Such applications will probably be filled during the month of December, but motorists will be cautioned not to display the new plates until after January 1. A special attempt will be made to have business houses and firms using large numbers of motor vehicles forward their applications early in order that they may be filled and cleared in time to handle the vast number of individual applications. Snook expects registrations next year to be close to the two million mark. Several carloads of the new 1928 license plates have been received and are Frank Stone came up from El Toro to vote. He is engaged with the Santa Fe bridge gang which is at work putting up a new bridge at that point. While at San Bernardino some weeks ago, during the strike, he saw 65 dead engines in the Santa Fe yards. Godfrey Stock and family returned on Tuesday from Michigan, after an absence of four months. They were accompanied by his niece, Miss Johnson, sister of Eugene Johnson of Olive and Mr. and Mrs. Hedic of Blissfield, Mich., who will make Anaheim her home. Godfrey says the weather is getting cold back in the states, and he thought he would try the California climate again. Miss Melanie Cahen entertained the T. U. C. Club on Wednesday evening at a chrysanthemum party. The parlors and dining-room were decorated in white chrysanthemums and smylax; wax candles on the table were trimmed with green ribbon—the scheme of decoration carrying out the idea of the club's colors—green and white. Miss Adella Strodthoff won the prize, a burnt-work nut bowl, for making the best tissue paper chrysanthemum. The young ladies all report a delightful time. Mr. and Mrs. George Trefren celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of their wedding at their home on Broadway on Monday. Dinnerl was served to a company of friends at noon, and the afternoon was devoted to social converse until 5 o'clock. Gifts were received from friends as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Porter, fruit dish; Mr. and Mrs. Brunworth, berry set; Mr. and Mrs. Perry, cracker jar; Mr. and Mrs. Marden, bread plate; Mr. and Mrs. Wessler, water set; Mr. and Mrs. Fred Trefren, fruit and pickle dish; Mrs. E. J. Garland, fruit dish; a friend, water set; Ernie Trefren, salt and pepper shakers; Mrs. Sarah Garland, set of pie plates. Charles Federman, the popular merchant, is to the front with announcement of rare bargains to be found in his dry goods emporium. He has just returned from a two weeks stay in San Francisco, where he studied the styles and brought with him a very complete stock, such as is found in a first-class establishment. The reputation of the store for fine goods and low prices and the courteous treatment extended to its customers is unsurpassed. Uncle Jake Everhardy left on Sunday for his stock ranch in Arizona, being called thither by an important business transaction involving the sale of a band of cattle. Mrs. Butler, sister of Mrs. B. F. E. Kellogg, is visiting with the division. Such applications will probably be filled during the month of December, but motorists will be cautioned not to display the new plates until after January 1. A special attempt will be made to have business houses and firms using large numbers of motor vehicles forward their applications early in order that they may be filled and cleared in time to handle the vast number of individual applications. Snook expects registrations next year to be close to the two million mark. Several carloads of the new 1928 license plates have been received and are being classified for distribution to the various branch offices. The new plates offer a pleasing combination of colors with blue backgrounds and gold letters. Marketing problems will be the principal subject for discussion at the sixtieth fruit growers' and farmers' convention, which will be held in Stockton, November 16 and 17, according to Dr. George P. Clements, manager, agricultural department, Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, who is handling the details of the big annual growers' conference in the South. Lloyd S. Tenny, chief, bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agriculture, will be the leading speaker, explaining the national platform of the federal bureau which he leads. George H. Hecke, director, California department of agriculture, will preside, and later make his annual report. Several prominent Southern California growers will take active part in the two-day program, including C. C. Teague, of Santa Paula, president, California Fruit Growers' Exchange, and the California Wainut Growers' Association; Carlyle Thorne, manager of the walnut growers; O. W. Schleussner, American Fruit Growers, and C. I. Sawdey, of Sawdey & Hunt, Southern California's largest shipper of lettuce. Governor C. C. Young will be guest of honor at the annual banquet.
