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, MAY 18, 1878 The trustees of Anaheim school district on Saturday last decided upon a plan for the new school building. As a number of elegant designs were sent in response to the advertisement for plans, it was a difficult matter to determine upon the one most suitable for the purpose; but, after careful deliberation, the plan presented by Messrs. Boggs & Ripley of Los Angeles was adopted and the architects notified to commence upon the specifications and details, which will be ready in about two weeks, when advertisements for proposals will be made. The building intended by the trustees will be an elegant structure two stories high and lighted after the most approved style. The rooms will be large and well ventilated, and the conveniences everything that could be desired. The building will cost about nine thousand dollars. It is to be hoped that our own carpenters and builders will bestir themselves in the matter of proposals for building, as there is no reason why the money to be expended should not stay in our own town. As soon as the specifications are completed, every facility will be offered to builders everywhere to make their estimates. A number of proposal: to purchase the bonds of the school district have been received, but no action has yet been taken in the matter of selling them by the trustees, as their disposal is an easy matter. A school district of seven square miles, worth $500,000 of assessed property, is security of which capitalists have no fear. President gone, and is at the north. A more than 20 honor of entitlement was welcomed given point in Californias visitor was paid hundreds and President the western border.

The Anaheim Literary Society convened in Judge Bailey's courtroom on Thursday evening at the usual hour. M. A. Mendelson, president-elect, on taking the chair, delivered a stirring inaugural address. He urged upon the members the necessity of making renewed efforts to build up the society. If we would have larger audiences at our meeting we must make our literary exercises interesting, and every member must be ready and prompt to perform well his part when called upon. The question, "Resolved, That capital punishment should be abolished," was discussed in the affirmative by Messrs. Stephenson and Beebe in the negative by Messrs. Montgomery and Guinn. Decided in favor of the affirmative. Mr. Henderson having declined to act as secretary, J. M. Guinn was chosen to fill the office. The following question was chosen for discussion at the next meeting: "Resolved, That poverty is more often the result of misfortune than of mismanagement." Affirmative, Guinn, Cahill, and Leonard; negative, Henderson, Athearn, and Beebe. Messrs. Montgomery and Stephenson were appointed for declamation. It was decided to hold the next meeting in Magnolia hall. Thursday evening, May 16. It is hoped that our citizens will by their presence, if nothing more, show some appreciation of the efforts of a few citizens to build up a literary society in our town. Anaheim, with a population of 1500, seems unable to turn out more than a dozen auditors to listen to exercises which are particularly meritorious and entertaining. Mr. Hedebrink, while engaged in cutting mustard with a mowing machine, was very seriously injured. He got down to clear the knives, which had become clogged with the heavy mustard. A passing team frightened the horses attached to the mower and they started to run. Mr. Hedebrink was caught by the machinery and his limbs were badly cut. He will probably be a cripple for life. The town trustees held a meeting yesterday. Eight ordinances were passed. Among the most important was one requiring all storekeepers to pay licenses according to amount of sales made, the money so collected to be expended in sprinkling the streets during summer. Peddlers, auction stores, etc., are also taxed. Another ordinance reduces the marshal's salary from $25 per month to $5. Under the new charter the fees of this officer will make up the difference. The clerk's salary was fixed at $75 per annum, instead of $3 per meeting as heretofore. The salary of the assessor was fixed at $60 per annum. A communication was received from Dr. Ellis, asking that a sidewalk be placed on Chestnut street. The matter was referred to the committee on public improvements. As Mr. Cahill was absent, Mr. Cohen acted as clerk, pro-tem. Miss Ettie Bremermann was unfortunate enough to lose a gold locket and chain between this office and the Bremermann vineyard. The finder will be suitably rewarded by leaving the same at this office. A pleasant Kellogg, in members of honor of Mrs. who has been and who is a bountiful present: Mr H.

The Democratic county central committee have given notice that a county convention will be held in Los Angeles on June 4th to nominate three delegates to the constitutional convention. Mr. J. H. Fruit of Santa Ana was in town yesterday. He reports Santa Ana to be in a healthy condition and somewhat exercised in regard to the constitutional convention. A large audience assembled at the Presbyterian church last Sunday to listen to the lecture by Rev. J. A. Mitchell on "The Catacombs of Rome." We regret to announce the death in Los Angeles, on May 12, of Thaddeus Amat, bishop of Monterey and Los Angeles, in the sixty-eighth year of his age. It is said that Mr. Layman of Gospel Swamp has secured luxuriant alfalfa on strong alkaline soil by mulching with straw. We visited the establishment of Messrs. McDermott and Grimshaw yesterday to see the new carriage they have just turned out for Mr. A. Langenberger. It is a splendid piece of workmanship, and there is no reason why orders should be sent to San Francisco and the East for wagons and carriages when such splendid affairs can be manufactured at home by our own workmen. If Mr. Victor Montgomery's ability as an agriculturist can be gauged by the size of the turnips he raises on his farm near Orange, he can be ranked as a No. 1 farmer. At the store of Messrs. D. & G. D. Plato are two specimens of the vegetables mentioned which weigh six and eight pounds, respectively, and each measure 29 inches in circumference. Postmaster Higgins will receive sealed proposals until May 24th for carrying the mail from Anaheim to the railroad depot seven times a week each way. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1903 President Roosevelt has come to Southern California and gone, and is now receiving the plaudits of the patriotic people of the north. At Los Angeles, on Friday, he saw a city filled with more than 200,000 people, all of them more than pleased at the honor of entertaining the nation's chief executive. The President was welcomed at Redlands by Governor Pardee and a distinguished gathering of the state's leading citizens. At every point in California where the train bearing the distinguished visitor was permitted by the itinerary to stop, there gathered hundreds and thousands of our people eager to show to the President the high esteem in which he is held out here on the western borders of our land. A pleasant family reunion was held at the home of Mrs. Kellogg, in West Anaheim, on May 10th, at which thirty-one members of the family were present. The meeting was held in honor of Mrs. Emmaline Butler, sister of Mrs. Mary O. Kellogg, who has been spending the winter with her at the old homestead, and who is about to return to her home at Calistoga, California. A bountiful dinner was served, at which the following were present: Mrs. Emmaline Butler, Mrs. M. O. Kellogg, Mr. and Mrs. H. Clay Kellogg and five children, Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Evans and nine children, Ervin F. Kellogg, William Dunlap and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Lollie Kellogg and two children, and Mrs. Richard Living in the Country With the almost universal popularity of the motor car and the advent of the motor bus and other quick means of transportation, the development of the suburb and the small town a few miles from the great city has been greatly enhanced. The modern tendency is undoubtedly from the city to the country, so far as the surrounding country is concerned at least. The modern business is squeezing the home out of our centers of population and the suburban movement should be even further extended, according to Charles J. Galpin, of the United States Department of Agriculture, who has an interesting article on the subject in the current issue of the National Republic. "The fact is that the city, modern or ancient, is not a satisfactory place to live and make a home in and bring up children in." Mr. Galpin declares: "It is not a good place to tee off from in the morning. It is no place to hole into at the end of the day. The city of moderns is a vast workshop at best. Business is in the driver's seat and rides roughshod over life. Let us go the limit of concession and surrender the whole city to business and, as for ourselves, move out into God's country and live while we live with trees at our door, with air to breathe, with God's sunlight pouring in, with space to move about in and quiet to cover us." "Business is no respecter of persons in this matter of commercial invasion. As the wealthy home must move out of the way, so the poor must move or be squeezed; and it is the squeezed portion of the population and the squeezing phenomenon that arrests our attention and causes our outburst, protest and demand to zone the city against dwelling. The tragedy of the case is not in being driven out by business, but in remaining and having the life of the home squeezed out by business." If you were to go from city to city and photograph all the surroundings of homes caught in the claws of this city squeeze, you would be astounded at how the human family has been pressed out of semblance to a human home by the business squeeze.

The meeting was held in honor of Mrs. Emmaline Butler, sister of Mrs. Mary O. Kellogg, who has been spending the winter with her at the old homestead, and who is about to return to her home at Calistoga, California. A bountiful dinner was served, at which the following were present: Mrs. Emmaline Butler, Mrs. M. O. Kellogg, Mr. and Mrs. H. Clay Kellogg and five children, Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Evans and nine children, Ervin F. Kellogg, William Dunlap and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Lollie Kellogg and two children, and Mrs. Richard N. Bird and three children. It was a most enjoyable gathering and will long be remembered by those present. Fritz Martin entertained a number of his friends at Armory hall on Tuesday evening in honor of his twenty-fourth birthday. Professor Thomas rendered several appropriate selections upon the piano, and an impromptu program of singing and music was rendered. Refreshments were served and at a late hour the party dispersed, wishing Fritz many happy returns of the day. Representatives of the Huntington electric railway have been in the country west of town, securing rights-of-way for that railway. The road runs a short distance east of Jerry Cole's place, and the third survey cuts through the barn of a neighbor. From all indications, work upon the new road will begin in the near future. The board of trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present, Mesars. Schneider, Berdrow, Rust and Fletcher. Absent, Weisel. Report of marshal showed total collections to be $978.05; commissions, $48.91. Treasurer reported as follows: Total in treasury, $5841.87. Berdrow reported the purchase of horse and wagon; the survey of South street; cleaning of the streets of weeds, and the planting of trees along the streets. Rust reported that all the property owners on Los Angeles street between Center and the Southern Pacific depot, were willing to give 10 feet for sidewalk purposes. He favored putting in a 10-foot sidewalk, one-half the cost to be paid by the city and the other half by the property owners, the city also to pay for the curb. The proposition did not meet with favor, and Rust moved that the attorney draw up an agreement to be signed by the property owners on the west side of Los Angeles street between Chestnut and Santa Ana streets by which they would deed the city for sidewalk purposes a strip of land 10 feet in width, the city to put in a curb and level up the walk ready for cementing, and plant trees along the curb, the property owners to pay for cementing the sidewalk a width of seven feet. Judge Howard asked that the minimum fine imposed by Ordinance No. 94 be reduced to $5 instead of $10 as it now is. The ordinance covers petty misdemeanors, and the judge thought he should be allowed discretion in the matter of imposing nominal fines for nominal offenses. Referred to ordinance committee. The board was invited by the trustees of San Bernardino to be the guests of that burg on the fifteenth instant, the occasion being Municipal Day of the street fair carnival. Misses Tillie and Stella Schwentker left yesterday for Williams, Ariz., for a visit of several months with their brother, F. B. Schwentker. Mrs. Clothilde Heimann has sold her place in the west end and will remove her family to Los Angeles to live. If you were to go from city to city and photograph all the surroundings of homes caught in the claws of this city squeeze, you would be astounded at how the human family has been pressed out of semblance to a human home by the business squeeze. Squeezed between buildings, squeezed below ground, squeezed skyward, squeezed to the alley, squeezed against the street! And every squeeze is a suffocation of the home. "The squeeze, first of all, means a terrific exaggeration of all the deprivations which city residence in any locality of the city suffers, even before the bold encroachment of business; small space, little air, little light—three basic physical an dpsychologic factors. These are bad enough and their evil has been ventilated during the past years perhaps sufficiently." An American mining engineer kidnapped in Mexico escaped by killing his four guards with a bottle. The dispatch doesn't state whether he gave them each a drink of its contents or whether he used it as a club. HANNALEI HILLS A Beautiful Subdivision Under Vista Water.

Miss Gladys Cahen, who has been visiting with friends in town, left some days ago for her home in Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Weisel, Jr., and Misses Klein went to Laguna in their new automobile some days ago. They will remain a week. Mr. Asher has gone to Ocean Park to take charge of the branch store Asher & Falkenstein have opened there. Charlie Fleming is here from Los Angeles, installing a 35-horsepower gasoline engine for William Schwenckert's new pumping plant. C. C. Chapman of Placentia, J. C. Joplin and C. A. Riggs of Santa Ana were last week appointed commissioners to the World's Fair, at St. Louis, by the supervisors. Theo. Rimpau has been in Los Angeles during the week, attending court in the estate of his deceased wife. Mrs. Arthur Lewis is in Redlands, visiting with Miss Margaret Higgins and Mrs. Lyon. Tousseau Brothers shipped three carloads of wool from Anaheim this week. Mrs. W. J. Cole of Hardscrabble will entertain the Ladies' luchre Club this Thursday afternoon. Dr. W. M. Higgins, for more than thirty years a resident of this city, died at his home in Redlands on Saturday. Dr. Higgins came to Anaheim in 1869 and resided here until two years ago, when he removed to Redlands. He was aged 77 years. He leaves a son and two daughters to mourn his loss. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Holcomb and Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sandi-lands spent Sunday in Santiago canyon.
