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 SEPTEMBER 14, 1878 At the last meeting of the Town Trustees, Messrs. Look and Cohen were appointed a committee to confer with property owners and get them to deed sufficient land in front of their property for sidewalks. The Town Charter gives the Trustees power to condemn land for this very purpose, but they very properly do not desire to resort to this very extreme measure without first making an effort to secure a voluntary transfer of the required frontage. Uniform sidewalks are a necessity in any town of importance and their establishment by municipal regulation is one of those things which, the longer it is put off, the greater the difficulty will be to secure the land amiably and enforce the construction of the sidewalks. If Anaheim is ever to secure this much-needed improvement the necessary steps had better be taken now than a year hence. A meeting between the officers of the Anaheim Water company and the Cajon Irrigating company was held at Scott & Montgomery's office on Thursday and an agreement was entered into by which the Cajon company deed to the Anaheim company a half interest in the ditch known as the Cajon Irrigating canal, commencing at a point on the west bank of the Santa Ana river known as Bed Rock canyon for $20,000. The deed from the Cajon company was written by Mr. Montgomery on the 12th, inst. It contains a copy of a resolution passed by the Directors of the A meeting between the officers of the Anaheim Water company and the Cajon Irrigating company was held at Scott & Montgomery's office on Thursday and an agreement was entered into by which the Cajon company deed to the Anaheim company a half interest in the ditch known as the Cajon Irrigating canal, commencing at a point on the west bank of the Santa Ana river known as Bed Rock canyon for $20,000. The deed from the Cajon company was written by Mr. Montgomery on the 12th inst. It contains a copy of a resolution passed by the Directors of the Cajon Irrigation company directing the sale of said interest and authorizing their president and secretary to execute a proper conveyance to the Anaheim company. The formal parts of the deed are short and concise, but the description of the property conveyed is full and voluminous. The deed covers 22 pages of closely written legal cap, and is estimated to contain 4500 words. Deputy Sheriff Barham has subpoenas for the following trial of jurors: C. Mosseman, J. K. Tuffree, D. H. Miller of Anaheim; Miles Fawcett of Westminster; J. N. Truesdell, P. Bowers and S. M. Talkingtown of Orange. They are required at Los Angeles on October 7th. He has also subpoenas for the following grand jurors who must appear on the 23, inst.: G. T. Austin, Anaheim; R. M. Hargrave, Orange; J. McFadden, Westminster. The Anaheim Literary society held its usual weekly meeting in Magnolia hall on Thursday evening last. President Leonard in the chair. The exercises of the evening consisted of a criticism delivered by W. H. Henderson on the proceedings of the previous meeting. The chair named Mr. Guinn as critic for the evening, and Misses Kraemer and McKinnie and Mr. Shaffer as a committee to decide upon the merits of the debate. Mr. Montgomery delivered a declaration entitled "The Common Lot," after which the question, Resolved, That intemperance is the chief source of crime, was discussed by Messrs. Leonard and Fish on the affirmative and by Messrs. Des Granges and Henderson on the negative. The committee decided in favor of the affirmative. The following was adopted as the order of exercises for the next meeting: Critic's report, J. M. Guinn; declamations, Henderson and Dyer; question for discussion, Resolved, That the patriotism of the Revolutionary Fathers is overestimated. Affirmation, Guinn, Shafer, Payne; negative, Montgomery, Grimshaw, McKinnie. The Mirror says that, with the additional supplement added at the last election, the Great Register of Los Angeles county shows a vote of 10,808. Deducting deaths, transfers, etc., since the original was printed there are probably 9000 voters in Los Angeles county. This at the usual average of five inhabitants to one voter, would place the population of the county at about 45,000. The large and elegant fireproof building of Messrs. F. and J. Backs, opposite the Gazette office, is crammed from cellar to garret with furniture of every imaginable description. Some of the bedroom sets are costly and palatial affairs, but the wants of every person can be supplied. In variety and prices the Messrs. Backs fear no competition in Los Angeles or elsewhere. An orange orchard for $100 per acre is an offer which has never before been paralleled. But unless a purchaser is soon found it will be withdrawn from the market. Full information given on application at this office. The large and elegant fireproof building of Messrs. F. and J.

McFadden. At Joseph Bennerscheidt's tin shop the other day we saw a new ware which has just been introduced. It is called "agate iron," and it is used in making every kind of domestic cooking utensils. It has a nice enameled surface, is pleasing in appearance and is decidedly superior to the common iron utensils. News reached this city yesterday that a very destructive fire is raging in San Bernardino. A telegram received in Los Angeles from Mr. Drakenfield comes the information that it started in the corral in the rear of Kenniston and Brazelton's livery stable and swept with resistless violence over a space where seventeen buildings stood, most of them substantial and costly. Byrne's store, Brunn's, Garner's, Hawley's, Campbell's, Kenniston & Brazelton's, McDonald's, Winkler's, the Chop House, Wolf's and Benninger's were all sacrificed. The loss foots up to over $60,000. C. Wille, one of our local coopers, has made twelve hundred honey barrels this season, each barrel holding from 20 to 25 gallons and he is still at work filling orders for more. A vast quantity of honey is also shipped from here in five-gallon cans, although honey shipped in barrels is looked upon with more favor. During the eight years the writer has resided here, he has never known the air to be so impregnated with heat as it was yesterday. The thermometer indicated 104° in the shade from about 11 o'clock to 1 p.m. At 3 o'clock it was 98°. At 6:30 p.m. it had dropped to 80° and at 9 o'clock it was delightfully cool. The natural heat was augmented by the fire which was raging in the hills northeast of town. Mr. and Mrs. L. Parker will celebrate the fortieth anniversary of their wedding on next Sunday and they extend a general invitation to their friends and acquaintances to call upon them on that day. DAYS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Daily Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 10, 1905 The City Trustees at their meeting on Tuesday heard report from committee appointed to canvass the town relative to firms and individuals who desire an all-night electric lighting service. Marshal Steadman reported he had interviewed a number of business firms and private parties and had secured sufficient business to justify installation of an all-night service. Engineer A. L. Lewis was accordingly instructed to employ an extra man at the power house. The trustees placed Lewis in charge of the power house, he being captain of the ship. The marshal reported following collections for August: Total amount collected, $1022.55, less 5 per cent for collecting, $51.12. Net amount deposited with treasurer, $971.43. Treasurer Hartung reported a balance on hand amounting to $2085.60. Recorder Howard reported collecting $38 for fines. Bills to the amount of $1401.25 were ordered paid. The committee on public improvements reported that the old well pit at the power house was caving in. The well pipe was raised to the surface and pit is being filled in. Ordinance No. 156 levying a property tax amounting to $1.25 on $100 was read for the first time. Communications from R. J. Northam and W. J. Hole relative to gravel pit in foot hills north of Fullerton, refusing to sell gravel by the load, but offering to entertain proposition for purchase of the tract. Reported to public improvements committee for False Statements Mean Losing License False statements made by prospective drivers of automobiles concerning their age, driving experience, physical condition or other qualifications in making applications for license will result in the immediate cancellation of such licenses, the Division of Motor Vehicles announced today in making public the names of four persons who lost their operators' cards during the last month on this charge. The division, it was stated, is required under the new law to examine all persons applying for an operator's license for the first time and is handling applicants in all of its branch offices throughout the state at the rate of about 700 daily. All applicants are required not only to submit to an examination of their eyesight, general physical qualifications, ability to read road signage and knowledge of the motor vehicle act as well as a practical test of their ability to handle a car. It is much better, division officials declared, to give the correct information in the first place as subsequent check-ups by the examiners nearly always uncover false statements. The four persons whose licenses were revoked for giving false information are Bradford Bergantz, Roseville; Robert J. Binford, Jr., San Diego; Carmelita Palomares, Oxnard and Jessie Mae Stone, Los Angeles. The license revoked were a part of a total of seventy revoked during the last month for various causes. Of these thirty-six were for driving while intoxicated bringing the total for the year in the division's war against drunken drivers up to 218. BOOSTER AND KNOCKER What is the reputation that our town is broadcasting to the world? Are you doing your bit in the broadcast of development and progress?

Reported to public improvements committee for investigation. Theo. Rimpau wrote the board that he would install 22 electric lights in his residence on Palm street if the board would erect an arc light at the corner of Palm and Broadway. No action was taken. The board purchased 10 tons of hay from Ed Kraemer; price, $9 on the ranch. Olinda met its first defeat at the hands of a Los Angeles nine this season on Sunday afternoon at Baseball Park, the score being 14 to 6. The Indians were weakened by the absence of Barnett and Isbell, two of the team's heaviest hitters. The boys touched up the foreigner's pitcher heavily as the latter landed on Crips, but nine life-sized errors could not help leaving their mark. Olinda had an off day and was outclassed by the foreigners. Bayside is the latest aspirant for favor among beach resorts of Southern California. The new townsite occupies nothing less than the famous Anaheim Landing beach, where for a quarter of a century Orange county folk have gone to bathe and spend a month or two at the seaside during the summer. Many cottages have been erected at the old Landing by regular visitors at the shore and these have been occupied by their owners every summer. County Surveyor Finley and a corps of men have been engaged this week in laying out the new townsite which will be named Bayside. The point chosen for the new town is a short distance from the old Landing warehouse and occupies one of the finest natural beaches on the coast. The Huntington Electric railway reaches the townsite from Long Beach. On Saturday evening, September 5th, upward of fifty relatives and friends gathered at the home of R. J. Sparks, three miles southeast of Anaheim, to celebrate the birthday of Miss Grace Sparks. Music, games and dancing were enjoyed until 11 p.m., when refreshments were served. A table about thirty feet long was spread under the trees in the yard and was fairly loaded with ice cream, cakes and fruit. All joined in wishing Miss Grace may live to enjoy many such happy birthdays. Clay Kellogg came over from Santa Ana on Thursday in his automobile to attend the meeting of the litigation committee of the two water companies. Clay is in receipt of one of the largest salaries paid any civil engineer in Southern California. Misses Klein of Milwaukee, sisters of Mrs. Peter Weisel, Jr., who have been spending the summer here, leave next week for their home in the East. They will be accompanied by Mrs. Peter Weisel and Miss Hattie Weisel. Mr. Kealiher has erected a dry house for curing chiles at his place at West Anaheim. The house will be supplied with all modern appliances, including power fans and other approved apparatus. What is the reputation that our town is broadcasting to the world? Are you doing your bit in the broadcast of development and progress? Your town may be ideally located for development, but if the reputation broadcast is uncertain of progress and development your town will bask in the sunshine of ease and contentment and "let the rest of the world go by," but let it be known that your town is developing and that progress is running wild and the whole world is at your feet. There are towns that are marching on to cities that have little to march to but the music of reputation of progress. Twenty-eight years ago Long Beach was a little town basking in the sunshine, sleeping through the livelong day with opportunity clamorously knocking at the door, until one day the little town broadcast that it was to be one of the leading beach cities of the world. That reputation went to all sections of the United States and then to the whole world. The result is that Long Beach has not been able to keep up with the building program. The towns of West Orange county have Leen broadcast as towns of development and progress and the world is looking to those towns for a chance to join in that development and progress. Once that broadcast is made the town has the victory of becoming a city in sight, for it has been brought to the notice of the world. People are like sheep; they will follow a leader! Just as soon as a town gains the reputation of being a good place to locate people will flock to it. They may pass opportunity on the way, but they will follow the lead of attracted attention and will develop the necessity of business development by their gathered numbers. To aid in the proper broadcast the people should maintain the proper atmosphere of progress. The merchants should see that their shelves are kept well stocked with fresh and attractive merchandise; the townspeople should see that their streets are kept clean; the vacant lots are kept free from rubbish and weeds; the residents should keep their yards attractive with flowers or lawns; their houses painted, etc. Last and greatest of all, you must know that your town is worthy of development. Sell your town to yourself and you cannot help but be a broadcast station of progress and development. If you cannot see the possibilities of your town, you should move on to a town where you can see the possibilities. If you are not a booster you are a knocker and the knocker injures himself more than any one else.

The house will be supplied with all modern appliances, including power fans and other approved apparatus. Chester Holcomb came up from Newport Beach on Tuesday afternoon to re-stock the larder and attend to other matters of business. He returned to the beach on the evening train. The family will be back home this week. Miss Minna Roper of Santa Ana appeared at a farewell performance in that city on Tuesday evening, when she sang as never before. She was assisted by Miss Estelle Heart, the well-known vocalist of Los Angeles. Miss Roper leaves this week for New York to continue her studies in voice culture. Frank Dyer has returned from his annual bath fest at the Landing. He thinks of resuming his job on the county water wagon. Don't fall off, Frank. Mrs. Otto Barman of San Francisco, sister of John Hartung, is here on a short visit, accompanied by her daughter, Irma. Col. J. K. Tuffree and family are home from an outing of several weeks at Anaheim Landing. Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana visited friends in town this week. Frederick Geyer, father of Mrs. A. Nagle, spent several days at Santa Barbara the past week. Mrs. J. J. Schneider will entertain the Miercoles club at her home on Wednesday, the 16th. Wm. Schumacher has returned from a trip to Santa Barbara, which he states he found to be a way-up place. Prof. Little was down from Los Angeles on Tuesday. The Professor expects to teach in Los Angeles the ensuing term, and some days ago refused $1200 offer from San Diego. Last and greatest of all, you must know that your town is worthy of development. Sell your town to yourself and you cannot help but be a broadcast station of progress and development. If you cannot see the possibilities of your town, you should move on to a town where you can see the possibilities. If you are not a booster you are a knocker and the knocker injures himself more than any one else. IMMIGRATION CHANGES The figures on immigration to this country last year are informing and significant. There was a drop in the number over the year ending June, 1927, of some 3700. Of the number that came in, which was a total of 500,631, there were 307,255 who were really immigrants, the balance of them were allens but did not come for permanent residence. The countries to the north and south of us, namely Canada and Mexico, furnished us more than one-third of this number. Neither of these countries are in the restricted group of the countries from which immigrant sage. Of the restricted group there were 38,193 Irish, over 45,000 German, over 33,000 Scotch, 18,740 Italiane, 18,644 Scandinavian, and nearly 18,000 French. Probably the most significant figures in this list are the figures from France. Almost as many French people came to American shores in the fiscal year ending the 30th day of June, last, as came from Italy, yet France has a difficult time keeping her increase in population at par, while Italy has the problem of taking care of her surplus people. The influence of Mussolini has retained many Italians on their native soil.
