There are now four teachers in the Anaheim public schools, Mrs. Breed having begun teaching in the primary department on Monday. One hundred and seventy pupils are attending the schools at the present time, and there is a likelihood of the number being increased soon.

Callender's famous troupe of Georgia Minstrels will give a performance at Kroeger's hall on Saturday night. There are twenty artists in the troupe and as they have been playing nightly to crowded houses in the Bush Street Theatre, San Francisco, it is safe to say that they are superior to the performers who usually visit Anaheim. Reserved seats can be secured at the stationery store of Mr. Herman Cohn, where a plan of the hall can be seen. On last Thursday night fifteen gallons of wine were stolen from the wine house of A. Pelanconi, Alameda street, Los Angeles. The wine was taken by a gang of fifteen tramps who were subsequently arrested. There will be quarterly meeting services at the M.

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 FEBRUARY 11, 1904. Rain fell Thursday night to the extent of .74 of an inch, breaking the long period of drought which had lasted since October 1st. During the afternoon there existed indications of rain and as night came on it seemed the long-looked-for dampness was at hand. It was not until 9 o'clock that the first showers fell, quickening shortly into a deluge. The precipitation was heavy during several hours, and showers fell at intervals until the morning hours. Friday opened with cloudy skies, but no rain fell until half past 5 in the afternoon, continuing with copious showers until midnight. The precipitation during the night amounted .56 of an inch, making a total for the storm of 1.30 inches. Precipitation to date last year 7.86 inches. The rain was of great value to grain men and orchardists. It has started grain to growing and has been of great benefit to pastures and ranges. A little more of it this month, followed by timely showers in March and April, and the dry weather croaker will cease his doleful speculations.

Daylight Saving Bill is Approved Announcement that the Agricultural Legislative Committee will oppose the adoption of a daylight saving act pending before the State Legislature, was made today by Ralph H.

Charlie Carroll, the young son of Tim Carroll, is laid up at his home in the West End with a broken wrist, sustained while playing at school. E. B. Merritt and Joseph Helmsen have been appointed registration clerks for this city. Voters are now being registered for the ensuing city election in April.

On Sunday night the Young Americans of this city play Santa Ana. John Hartung, vice-president of the First National Bank, has been selected by the board of directors of that institution to fill the duties of cashier in place of C. E. Holcomb, who last week resigned the office. Mr. Hartung will perform the duties of that office until such time as a successor to Mr. Holcomb shall be appointed. Frank Shanley has been elected to the position of second vice-president.

Daylight Saving Bill is Approved Announcement that the Agricultural Legislative Committee will oppose the adoption of a daylight saving act pending before the State Legislature, was made today by Ralph H. Taylor, the executive secretary. The daylight saving bill, introduced by Assemblyman Harry Lyons of Los Angeles, would set the clock up an hour and require that all business in the state be conducted on the new time schedule. The measure would result in great inconvenience and confusion in agricultural districts, Taylor said, especially during the chipping season, as railroads, beim ginterstate in character, would continue to operate on normal time schedules while all other business would be on the hour-early daylight saving basis. Endorsement of a bill fathered by Assemblyman Harry F. Sewell of Whittier, increasing the amount of money that can be appropriated annually by a county for agricultural extension work, under the University of California, from $10,000 to $30,000, was voted by the Agricultural Legislative Committee. The bill is designed to apply only in Los Angeles county, where expansion of the farm adviser system is desired.
