IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cent Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 2, 1879. The Republican convention met at Turn Verein hall in Los Angeles on Monday at 11 o'clock a.m. and began business by electing J. R. Brierly temporary chairman and Aaron Smith temporary secretary. After appointing a committee on Platform and Resolutions, a committee on credentials and a committee on order of business, the meeting adjourned to 1:30 p.m. On assembling in the afternoon, the reports of the various committees were read. The committee on order of business recommended the nomination of two superior judges, but after a protracted debate, it was resolved to nominate only one judge. The resolution had a plank to the effect that no man should be nominated by the convention who had accepted the nomination of any other party. An acrimonious and exciting discussion was held over this, and after voting on half a dozen amendments, the convention decided that nominees should pledge themselves to support the Republican state, county and congressional tickets. A. B. Clark of Orange was nominated for state Senator; A. G. Cook of Garden Grove and P. M. Green of Pasadena for Assemblymen. A. H. Judson received the nomination for superior judge; H. A. Barclay for district attorney; A. T. Currier for sheriff, and H. W. K. Bent for county clerk. John Fischer of Anaheim, W. S. Moore and C. C. Lamb were placed in nomination for recorder.

Moore declined, Mr. Fischer refused to take the required pledge and Mr. Lamb was nominated. L. J. Lockhart of Orange received the nomination for assessor and Col. T. S. Hall for tax collector. For surveyor, E. T. Wright, George Hansen and W. I. Rumble were placed before the convention. Wright was nominated. John W. Hinton was nominated for school superintendent and Dr. Barton for coroner. Delegates from the fourth supervisorial district nominated for the county central committee were J. M. Guinn of Anaheim, J. McFadden of Santa Ana, and J. Guberson. (George Hansen mentioned as a candidate for surveyor was the man who surveyed Anaheim townsite and built the Mother Colony Pioneer house, now owned and maintained as a museum by Daughters of the American Revolution.—Ed.) One hundred and twenty-six votes were cast at the Democratic primary in Anaheim on Saturday. The delegates elected were: Theodore Rimpau, R. W. Scott, B. Dreyfus and C. S. Miles. Mr. Stephen M. White was in town last evening. Though a good and staunch Democrat, Mr. White is a loyal supporter of his father in his political aspirations. And quite right he is, too. (Mr. White senior was a candidate for governor of the W. P. C. the workingmen's party.) The Downey Outlook has the following item: Our enterprising neighbor, Richard Melrose, of the Anaheim Gazette, has one of the best country offices in the state, and the specimens of printing we saw in his establishment the other day shows that he is master of the "art preservative." The people of Anaheim and vicinity ought to sustain him handsomely. A daily stage to Anaheim Landing will leave Anaheim every morning at 7 o'clock. Orders should be left at the store of A. Langenberger.—Jacob Walker. The San Diego Indians will celebrate the feast of San Luis Rey at Pala on the 27th of August. For some reason or other the red men have expressed the determination to eclipse every former effort, and their extensive preparations have attracted the attention of the white residents of the county, hundreds of whom intend to be present. Among the chief attractions will be a bull fight. A correspondent of the Gazette promises a thorough description of the event. We regret to learn that the water in our mountain streams is lower than ever before known by white residents. No damage is feared as yet, and the season is advancing so that there is little danger that trees will suffer, although corn may lack sufficient moisture to fill.—Colton Semi-Tropic. Geo.

ISS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 28, 1904. City Clerk Merritt's annual report shows the total assessed valuation of the city to be $570,193, exclusive of railroads, which last year were assessed by the state board of equalization at $66,-809. Last year's assessment footed up $552,057, which shows an increase of $18,136. With the railroad assessment added, the total assessed valuation equals $637,002. Figures have not yet been received from the state board, but are expected in a few days. The increase in value of residences and improvements is $13,656, and personal property increased $4,480. Eighteen new residences were assessed and two residences building-but not completed on March 1st were not assessed. Since March, building activities have continued, and scarcely a day passes without plans being made for erection of additional residences. The town seems to have struck her pace and is forging ahead rapidly. Registration closes September 28th and unless voters register by that time they forfeit the elective franchise. Those who have registered for the city election in April need not re-register. Joseph Helmsen and E. B. Merritt are registration clerks. They will register you free of charge. Politics have cleared somewhat in Orange county and out of the smoke of battle E. R. Amerige of Fullerton comes forth as the Republican nominee for the Assembly and John Anderson of Santa Ana. Airplane Smokers Menace to Forests Many Fires Started By Passengers in Airships The fields and forests of California, which are yearly swept by hundreds of conflagrations started by careless motorists, campers and sportmen, today face a new and startling menace in the form of burning tobacco thrown from airplanes, according to the United States Forest Service. Information has already been received this season by the State Division of Forestry of a number of large grain and grass fires in the interior valleys of the state that were reported to have been started by cigarettes or cigars thrown from airplanes and which resulted in serious loss of range feed and farm crops. Many people, who evidently fall to appreciate the fire hazard occasioned by high temperatures, low humidity and dry winds which occur during the summer months in the valley and forest regions of the state, have expressed doubt that a cigar or cigarette butt thrown from a swiftly moving airplane would continue to burn until it reached the ground, claiming that the propeller blast and air currents would snuff out the fire. To secure reliable information on the subject, the United States Forest Service recently made a series of experiments at the Spokane, Washington airport, using a regular forest patrol plane with a pilot and two observers, and ordinary cigars and factory-made cigarettes with plain paper tips. Tests were made at altitudes of 500 to 1,000 feet on a clear day with a temperature of 75°F., relative humidity 34 per cent, and wind velocity 7 miles per hour. To enable the ground observers to trace the cigars and cigarettes thrown from the plane, bright colored cotton streamer two or three feet long and about one inch wide was attached to each "smoke." Employees and students of the Mayer Flying Service and off-road vehicles were re-elected to their positions. Registration closes September 28th and unless voters register by that time they forfeit the elective franchise. Those who have registered for the city election in April need not register. Joseph Helmsen and E. B. Merritt are registration clerks. They will register you free of charge. Politics have cleared somewhat in Orange county and out of the smoke of battle E. R. Amerige of Fullerton comes forth as the Republican nominee for the Assembly and John Anderson of Santa Ana as that party's candidate for State Senator. There is yet to be chosen a candidate for representative in Congress, and vigorous campaigning is being done by the two aspirants, Senator Smith of Kern and Senator Ward of San Diego. The congressional convention will meet at Santa Cruz August 25th, at which time and place the state convention will be held for selecting presidential electors and alternates. No word has come during the week about adjourning the congressional convention at Santa Ana, at which place the convention was originally called by the Congressional Committee, to meet August 16th. While both Smith and Ward are quoted as being favorable to adjourning the convention to the latter place, it would not surprise anyone if a nomination were made at Santa Cruz and an end made of the struggle. The Democrats have as yet made no move in calling the party's convention together in this county. No primaries will be held by the party, the convention held in this city in May adjourning to meet at some future date in Santa Ana. An alarm of fire was rung in at 6:30 o'clock on Saturday afternoon for a blaze in Peter Syre's bakery. Mr. Syre was engaged in making bread when he detected the smell of fire. He looked through the bakery and found nothing, but on going outside observed smoke issuing from one of the upper windows. He immediately gave the alarm and running upstairs threw several buckets of water upon the flames, which were extinguished before the arrival of the fire department. It is not known how the fire started. Loss, nominal. Jim Sleeper has blossomed out in a new suit and a Panama hat and is around extending the glad hand. Jim hasn't been in politics since the last county convention and has devoted his attention to farming operations in the Trabuca. He cleaned up a nice little nest egg to the value of $19,000 and is going to be an aspirant for the Democratic nomination for sheriff. H. Clay Kellogg started for Honolulu this week to complete a water engineering scheme to provide irrigation for the Wahiawa sugar plantation. The project involves the construction of a dam 20 feet long and requiring 60,000 yards of crushed rock in its building. A storage reservoir and four stone tunnels 1,000 feet in length are also to be built. Arthur Porter has been laid up three weeks as a result of running a nail into his foot at the Landing on the Fourth. While climbing up one of the piles supporting the wharf his foot was punctured by a nail head first which had been driven into the timber. Assistance had to be called for to extricate the foot and for a time thereafter serious complications were feared. However, the patient is recovering and will soon be able to be about again. Frank Stone sustained an injury to the ligaments of his thigh while lifting heavy timbers at Dr. Johnston's residence at the Spokane, Washington airport, using a regular forest patrol plane with a pilot and two observers, and ordinary cigars and factory-made cigarettes with plain paper tips. Tests were made at altitudes of 500 to 1,000 feet on a clear day with a temperature of 75° F., relative humidity 34 per cent, and wind velocity 7 miles per hour. To enable the ground observers to trace the cigars and cigarettes thrown from the plane, a bright colored cotton streamer two or three feet long and about one inch wide was attached to each "smoke." Employees and students of the Mamer Flying Service and officers of the Forest Service were present as witnesses to the tests. The Forest Service reports the results of the tests as follows: Cigars: 6 dropped; 5 recovered. All burning when picked up from mthe ground. Cigarettes: 7 dropped; 6 recovered. Four burning when picked up; 2 out. The time which elapsed between the dropping of the "smoke" and its recovery on the ground varied from one to three minutes. Within this relatively small range the time element appeared to have no significance. Neither did it appear that increasing the altitude from 500 to 1,000 feet was an important factor. No fires were started by the cigars and cigarettes, as the tsets were made on an airport field with a sparse cover of green vegetation and at a time when the relative humidity was high (34%). These tests, Forest Service officers claim, prove rather convincingly that at altitudes up to 1,000 feet a large percentage of "smokes" thrown from airplanes will still be burning when they land on the ground, and that with favorable fire weather conditions lighted cigars and cigarettes thus discarded may cause serious forest, grass and train fires. All air mail, commercial and passenger-carrying aviation companies will be requested to adopt strict measures to prevent the throwing of burning tobacco from their planes, since such action is not only a serious fire menace but is also a violation of California laws prohibiting the throwing of burning or inflammable material from any moving vehicle. If the pacifist were consistent he would be against burglar alarms and watch dogs in his home, and would prefer to negotiate an agreement with the burglar after he had entered the home by Jimmying the kitchen window.

While climbing up one of the piles supporting the wharf his foot was punctured by a nail head first which had been driven into the timber. Assistance had to be called for to extricate the foot and for a time thereafter serious complications were feared. However, the patient is recovering and will soon be able to be about again. Frank Stone sustained an injury to the ligaments of his thighs while lifting heavy timbers at Dr. Johnston's residence a few days ago. He was unable to resume work for a couple of days, but is now on deck again. Mildred Lawrence, the seven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Lawrence, suffered a broken leg some days ago, while at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sandilands. While walking through the house she stumbled over a rug and fell fracturing a bone just above the knee. The injury is a painful one, but no serious results are feared. Bobby Mills was in town several days this week from Los Angeles, shooting doves and otherwise enjoying himself. Bobby is head chef of John Brink's restaurant and is in charge of night operations in that famous eating place. G. W. Sherwood and family and Frank Porter and family are spending a few weeks at San Juan hot springs. Wm. Berdrow has been ill at home for seven days with an attack of measles. His condition yesterday was reported to be improved. Otto Storm of the First National Bank has let a contract to A. E. Strehle for the building of a $2,000 residence on Broadway. Miss Mamie Witte of Los Angeles spent the past week here with her sister, Mrs. Bird Beebe. William McCann has commenced building an $1,800 residence on his place west of town. Alex Henry is having plans drawn by Architect Bradshaw of Orange for a new residence to be erected by him at Caledonia Grove. The building will be one of the handsomest architecturally in the county. The cost will approximate $4,000. Work upon it will begin in a few days. James Encarl will have charge of the work.
