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 SEPTEMBER 28, 1878 The beautiful pampas grass which grows so luxuriously in this county is said to be quite a curiosity in the East. Those who desire to send some of these "white plumed navarres" of Southern California to the East will be interested to learn that with proper treatment they may be made to keep for years. They should be cut while yet green and subjected to a temperature of from 190 to 140 degrees. Treated thus, it is said that they will remain intact for a very long time. If sent any distance by mail they should be wrapped very carefully in paper and then enclosed in a stiff cardboard wrapper after the manner of sending pictures. A cutting affray occurred at the home of Antonio Rice on Lemon street on Thursday morning. Ramon Sepulveda was visiting at the house and being intoxicated behaved rudely and boisterously. He slapped Mrs. Rice in the face, and she picked up a table knife and stabbed him in the loin. The woman's husband swore out a warrant for Sepulveda and he was arrested and placed in jail. One of the most conspicuous landmarks in Anaheim is the windmill which has just been put in position in Mr. Haight's place by Mr. McKinnie. It is fifty-four feet from the ground to the mill. Mr. Haight is well pleased with this country, and proposes to soon make many substantial improvements on his property. Lemon street on Thursday morning.

A Los Angeles paper calls loudly for somebody to start a cheese factory in Los Angeles county. The editor has read the Gazette to little purpose. There is a cheese factory in full running order at Garden Grove, four miles from Anaheim. Mrs. T. T. Hill and E. A. Pullen have made a rich strike on Silverado since we visited them last week. They were then at work upon the “Warwick” and during the past few days have been taking out rock which is said to be as rich as any yet seen in that district. They have also found the Ophir ledge on the same claim. Deputy Sheriff Barham served papers on Monday in the suit of Pellegrin, Darling, Boebe and Callien against John Azbill.

ROBERTS, Principal. Charles Boege of this city was wedded this week to Miss Louise Callow of Long Beach at the letter's home in that city.

The newly-wedded couple have gone to housekeeping in a cottage on West Center street. Rev. Chapman of the Presbyterian church desires us to state that there will be regular services in the church next sabbath. Plans are being made for the alteration of the church building, and it had been thought last sabbath would be the last date on which services would be held previous to the remodeling of the building. However, services may be expected next sabbath as usual. Causes of Accidents Cited By the State Carelessness on the Part of Employers Responsible for Many Casualties Because of their failure to practice the safety they preach, many California employers are losing thousands of dollars annually, while other employers, who practice as well as preach safety, are saving thousands of dollars, the State Compensation Insurance Fund points out. The State Fund cited the case of a large tanning company in the San Francisco district as illustrative of this fact. The company had for years been "going through the motions" of safety work—holding safety meetings and correcting physical defects in the plant. But the accidents continued to mount up. The State Fund, which maintains a safety department to serve employers whom it insures against industrial accidents, saw the accidents were increasing in number and sent an expert to the plant. The Fund, incidentally, has experts for all classes of industry. This expert induced the company to make safety work something more than "a nice thing to do"—to make it the first consideration in the plant. During the previous year there had been forty-five accidents in the plant, costing $7224 for medical care and compensation. During the first five months after the expert's visit, only fifteen accidents had occurred, costing only $150. The plant instead of having twice as many accidents a year as the average of the tanning industry, now has only half the average. And the company is saving $1999 a year on its industrial accident insurance premium. Another instance cited is that of a large foundry and machine shop in Los Angeles which in one year had 124 accidents, some of them serious. This company also had been "going through the motions" of safety work. During the year following the visit of the State High school here and is an accomplished and charming young lady. The newly-wedded couple have gone to housekeeping in a cottage on West Center street. Rev. Chapman of the Presbyterian church desires us to state that there will be regular services in the church next sabbath.

However, services may be expected next sabbath as usual. Robert Parker, a well-known resident of this section, died of heart failure at his home in Fullerton on Wednesday afternoon.

Gerald Sandilands has favored us with copies of Kingston Jamaica, papers giving accounts of the destructive hurricane which swept over the island six weeks ago. Great damage was wrought, towns being devastated and great loss sustained. Orange orchards were destroyed in many places and the crop will be considerably shortened thereby. Harry G. Speilman, foreman for the Southern Pacific railroad at Rimion, has returned to that station after a few week's vacation spent with his mother, Mrs. A. R. Speilman, at Loara.

Frantz returned some days ago from San Jose, where he disposed of his property. He will go into the wholesale barber supply business in Los Angeles. Fred Back's new residence on Adele street is nearing completion. During the first five months after the expert's visit, only fifteen accidents had occurred, costing only $150. The plant instead of having twice as many accidents a year as the average of the tanning industry, now has only half the average. And the company is saving $1999 a year on its industrial accident insurance premium. Another instance cited is that of a large foundry and machine shop in Los Angeles which in one year had 124 accidents, some of them serious. This company also had been "going through the motions" of safety work. During the year following the visit of the State Fund's expert, there were only fifteen accidents. Thousands of industrial accidents are caused each year because floors are not kept in repair and free from obstructions. Latest available statistics show that 9,003 workers were injured last year in falls or in stepping on or striking objects. Of these 106 died of their injuries and 32 were injured permanently. It has been estimated that all of these incidents were caused by slipping or slipping on stairway or walkway surfaces and that seven thousand workers were killed in these ways throughout the country in 1926. The State Fund's safety department issued the following rules for floors: 1. Floors should be smooth and free from nails, bolts or other projections. 2. Floors should be dry, of low heat conductivity, durable and easily cleaned. 3. Floors and foundation should be constructed strongly enough to bear safely four times the static load and six times the moving load which may be placed upon it. 4. Floors should be as nearly noise-less as possible. 5. Floors should not be slippery nor made of materials that will wear slippery. 6. Every square inch should be well lighted. Walnut Harvest Now on in County By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG Farm Advisor The fall harvest of walnuts is now on. During the last month growers have been getting their drying trays and dehydrators in shape for the upcoming crop, which is estimated at about 60 per cent of last year's high mark. It has taken a year of irrigation, pruning, spraying and other detailed orchard management to bring the crop up to the present harvest season. All of this, of course, has cost considerable money, and the amount returned to the grower will depend largely on the quality of the product delivered to the packing house. Experience of growers and controlled field experiments have conclusively demonstrated that the amount of cull nuts due to mould and sticktights can be materially reduced by prompt harvesting methods. To begin with, a late summer irrigation should be given before harvest to allow the nuts to drop free from the husks. Then during the early winter picking should be frost-tolerant. Mrs. Konig is the guest of friends in Los Angeles and Santa Monica this week. Dr. D. F. Royer, a prominent Orange physician, was married on Wednesday to Mrs. Hettie Wilbur of Los Angeles, the ceremony being performed at Kingman, Arizona. W. A. Frantz returned some days ago from San Jose, where he disposed of his property. He will go into the wholesale barber supply business in Los Angeles.

AND That is where Dodge Brothers, with years of experience in building a dependable low-cost product, are years ahead of the field.
