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 in 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 16, 1879. The Rev. Mr. King and wife of Westminster, while bathing in the bay at Anaheim Landing on Monday morning, had a narrow escape from drowning. They incautiously ventured into deep water and Mrs. King, being unable to swim, sank beneath the waters. Mr. King, in attempting to swim ashore with her, was pulled under, but just then Mrs. Fleming saw them struggling in the water and called for help. Mr. J. M. Guinn heard the cries and ran down to the bank and seizing a long board which was fortunately lying near, by wading in up to his neck succeeded in reaching Mr. King with the plank and towing him and his wife, who was now unconscious, to shallow water. Mr. J. J. Guinn and Mr. Trefethen arrived at the time the lady was carried ashore, and with the assistance of Captain Nelson she was resuscitated by employing the means usually practiced in cases of drowning. Mr. King had sunk twice when Mr. Guinn reached him and, burdene as he was by the weight of his wife, in a few seconds both would have sunk to rise no more. The arrest of Lucky Baldwin of Santa Anita for violation of the revenue laws, is not a surprise to those who have closely watched the turn affairs have taken lately. Mr. Baldwin has recently erected a large, fine distillery and made extensive preparations to manufacture a great quantity of brandy this season. Yesterday the distillery, warehouses and wine vaults at the Santa Anita ranch were seized and Mr. Baldwin was placed under arrest on the charge of illicit distillation of brandy. He was taken to Los Angeles Marshal Dunlap and will have a preliminary hear King had sunk twice when Mr. Guinn reached him and, burdene as he was by the weight of his wife, in a few seconds both would have sunk to rise no more. The arrest of Lucky Baldwin of Santa Anita for violation of the revenue laws, is not a surprise to those who have closely watched the turn affairs have taken lately. Mr. Baldwin has recently erected a large, fine distillery and made extensive preparations to manufacture a great quantity of brandy this season. Yesterday the distillery, warehouses and wine vaults at the Santa Anita ranch were seized and Mr. Baldwin was placed under arrest on the charge of illicit distillation of brandy. He was taken to Los Angeles' by Marshal Dunlap and will have a preliminary hearing today before Commissioner Whiting. Marshal Payne has had such difficulty in collecting license from the Chinese storekeepers that he was yesterday compelled to resort to extreme measures. Sin Tin Wo was arrested for violation of the license ordinance and Justice Bailey fined him $10, which he paid. The store of the Yuen Cheng Co. was attached and a keeper placed in charge of it. Mr. W. H. Henderson has accepted the position of teacher of the intermediate department tendered him by the trustees of Anaheim schools. The Fairview school will be taught by Mr. W. C. Campbell, whom we last week prematurely assigned to Maize-land district. While Mr. Rust was delivering meat to one of his customers on Monday morning his horse, which he had left in charge of his son, became frightened and ran away. The wagon collided with Backs' building on First North street and was badly wrecked, as was also the harness. The boy was thrown out but not much injured. In the current local campaign of candidates, Pacheco is the handsomest, Col. Ayers the most dramatic, Wallace Leach the most insouciant and chipper, West the most angular and sing-songy, Del Valle the most knightly, Judge Sepulveda the most winning, Gen. Howard the most classical, Judge Stephens the most adventurous and persevering, and Judge O'Melveny the most hopeless. At the adjourned "immigration meeting" in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Mr. E. F. Spence, chairman of the finance committee, reported that they had already received subscriptions to the amount of $1,680, to be used in inducing immigration to Southern California. Remarks were made by Messrs. Olden and others and a committee was appointed to prepare an address to the people of the county. Hunters report that in the vicinity of Anaheim quail are more abundant than they have been. There is no better hunting ground in the state than this portion of the county. Dr. Schlesinger of the Societas Fraternea has been stopping in Los Angeles for some time, and one of the results of his visit is the conversion of three families of that city to his peculiar dietary notions. An organization has been effected in Pomona to be known as the Pomona Horticultural Society. The president is Rev. C. F. Loop; vice-president, Thomas Mercer; secretary, Chas. Coleman. We acknowledge a call from Mr. C. C. Lamb, who two years Dr. Schlesinger of the Societas Fraternea has been stopping in Los Angeles for some time, and one of the results of his visit is the conversion of three families of that city to his peculiar dietary notions. An organization has been effected in Pomona to be known as the Pomona Horticultural Society. The president is Rev. C. F. Loop; vice-president, Thomas Mercer; secretary, Chas. Coleman. We acknowledge a call from Mr. C. C. Lamb, who two years ago achieved the distinction of being the only Republican elected in the county. He is a pleasant, amiable gentleman. The office of the county recorder was enlarged and improved ast week by the removal of some obstructing partitions. Mr. John Fischer, the next incumbent, doubtless appreciates the efforts made for his convenience. The indefatigable Wartenberg is a candidate for constable. Louis has the knack of being elected whenever he runs for any office. The Anaheim Fire Company have $200 in the treasury which they are willing to expend in purchasing hose and an engine, if the citizens will contribute the balance required. The town has now a fine supply of water for fire purposes, but it will not be fully available until the right size of hose is provided. The Republicans, Workingmen and New Constitutionists will all hold meetings in Anaheim tonight. There will be political variety enough to suit the taste of the most fastidious. Mr. A. Merrifield is the successor of J. H. Haines as U. S. telegraph operator in Anaheim. Messrs. Arther Lewis and Jesse Parker will leave for Bodie next week. They will take with them a fine lot of canned fruit which will doubtless find a ready sale among the miners. The Chronicle notes specimens of cornstalks 15 feet high from a San Benito ranch of J. D. Culp & Co. Los Angeles county has produced corn much larger than that and we refer the subject to the editor of the Anaheim Gazette for definite figures.—St. Helena Star. (Corn stalks fifteen feet high are not uncommon in this county. The Gazette office was festooned last year with a number of stalks eighteen feet high.—Ed.) S 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 AUGUST 11, 1904. Another orchard tract has changed hands this week, that of George A. Hunter having been purchased by Mrs. Pearson of Los Angeles for $15,000. The place consists of thirty-five acres in walnuts and oranges, the former trees having a maturing crop upon them valued at not less than $2,000. A meeting of citizens favoring the closing of saloons on Sunday was held in the city hall on Thursday evening. The committee having in charge the petition calling for an election to vote upon the question was empowered to continue its labors and to present their report to the city trustees at their next meeting. The meeting agreed to pay expenses of holding the election, and it was stated that persons signing the petition will not therefore be expected or required to vote in favor of Sunday closing should it be brought to a vote. Those favoring Sunday closing feel that a change in public sentiment has taken place regarding the matter since the municipal election in April, and that if brought to a vote the movement will be approved by a majority of the people. Studies will be resumed at city schools on Monday, September 17th. Miss Roberts, principal of Central Grammar school, states that all pupils conditioned in any subject should prepare to take examinations on that date. The following teachers have been engaged: High school—Inez Payton, principal and teacher of Latin and German; Harriette W. Smith, science; Anna M. Baker, history; Edna Wilde, English; Esther Shafor, mathematics; Lena L. Ingraham drawing. Grammar school teachers—Real Estate Men Numerous in State One License Issued for Every 85 Of Its Population Using the 1926 United States census of California counties and comparing these figures with the total of 50,910 real estate licenses, as shown in the department directories of last year, it is found that California has one real estate license for every 85 people. Orange county licenses total 1502. There are more real estate agents in California than in any other state. Los Angeles county had the greatest number of licenses, 30,339, or 60 percent of all the California licenses, one for every 43 persons in Los Angeles county. San Diego county has one agent for every 47, Orange one for every 56, San Bernardino one for 84, Alameda one for 94, Riverside one for 100, Ventura one for 101, Santa Clara one for 131, San Francisco one for 147, Sacramento one for 229, Fresno one for 447, and Humboldt one for 484. Over 75 per cent of all the licenses are located in Southern California counties. The counties of Alpine, Amador and Trinity, all in the mining area, have no real estate agents. The counties of Cala gras, Mono and Sierra have one each. Twenty-three counties have more than 100 real estate licenses. The greatest density of real estate agents continues to be in the city and county of San Francisco, with94agents foreveryoneofthe42squaremiles,whileLosAngeleswith4,115squaremileshas7.4agentspersquaremile.Alamedacountyhasfivetoeverysquaremile. Without Cooperation Where Would We Be? Cooperation is modernity. It is inconceivable to think of a society of men without the power to cooperate. Some call it system. Some call it necessity, perhaps desire, or maybe it is called philanthropy of kindness. But Studies will be resumed at city schools on Monday, September 17th. Miss Roberts, principal of Central Grammar school, states that all pupils conditioned in any subject should prepare to take examinations on that date. The following teachers have been engaged: High school—Inez Payton, principal and teacher of Latin and German; Harriette W. Smith, science; Anna M. Baker, history; Edna Wilde, English; Esther Shafor, mathematics; Lena L. Ingraham, drawing. Grammar school teachers—Carrie E. Roberts, principal and eighth grade; Adele M. Mosseman seventh grade; Essie Elliott, sixth grade; Serena Christensen, fifth grade; Marian C. Knight, fourth grade; Adelia Wallop, third grade; Laura A. Rector, second grade; Edith Knapp, second grade; Pauline Nemetz, first grade; Marian V. Heil, Katella. San Diego county is to have the honor of making the first section of El Camino Real, the highway that is to traverse the state for hundreds of miles. The Boardof Supervisors has entered into a contract with a San Francisco firm to purchase an immense rock crusher, roller and spreader wagons, and as soon as the machinery arrives construction will begin upon a strip of the roadway from Oceanside to San Diego. Efforts will be made to have it a model of macadamized roadway. Elton Gobel, while feeding a job press in this office on Saturday afternoon, had the misfortune to have his left hand caught between the type form and platten, almost severing the hand, the cut running diagonally between the base of the fingers and the wrist. The thumb was dislocated and two fingers broken, and one of the main bones in the hand was fractured. The lad was taken to Dr. Johnston's office where the wounds were dressed. Eighteen stitches had to be taken. The injury is a bad one but the hand will be saved. Monday an examination of the hand was made with the X-ray, which revealed the fact that the bones are doing nicely and indications pointed to a speedy recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Willi Julian of Long Beach were guests of friends in town this week. Mr. Julian is a former resident of this city and met with many friends during his stay. He occupies the position of city clerk in the seaside city. Miss Julia Nemetz and Miss Gloge left yesterday for a trip to New Orleans and other points east and south. They go up the Mississippi to St. Louis, where they will visit the fair. Visits will also be paid to Wisconsin points. They will be absent three months. The American-German Savings Bank of Anaheim was organized this week with the following named gentlemen as organizers of the institution: Dr. H. A. Johnston, C. Bruce, C. F. Grim, Frank Shanley, Dr. Bickford, John Cassou, A. S. Bradford, W. L. Hale, R. Melrose, John Hartung, W. F. Botsford. The new bank will be opened in the premises now occupied by the First National, which will move into the Metz building, on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. Mr. Falkenstein returned on Tuesday from a short visit to Ocean Park, where Mrs. Falkenstein and son, Stanley, are spending the summer. C. O. Rust and wife returned this week from Skagway and other points north. They were absent six weeks. Without Cooperation Where Would We Be? Cooperation is modernity. It is inconceivable to think of a society of men without the power to cooperate. Some call it system. Some call it necessity, perhaps desire, or maybe it is called philanthropy of kindness. But it is really cooperation. Take it out of the modern world and where would we be? There would be no markets, and nothing to market. A haphazard, topsy-turvy world where we couldn't do anything nor get anything done. It is not a thought to tamper with. It is better for men to buckle down and do their part in this great scheme of things, gladly and whole-heartedly, for the good of mankind. The hermit, who chooses a solitary existence, has as little influence upon the rest of the world as society has upon his mode of living. But, few prefer such a life. And those who live in close proximity find it convenient if not absolutely necessary to cooperate in almost every move for modern existence. The human body is the best example today of human relationship. Just as the parts of the body are assembled to make a composite man, so are men in turn assembled to make a composite group or nation Every now and then some part of your body takes a cranky spell and refuses to cooperate Then the entire system is thrown out of kilter until the recalcitrant is functioning again as it should There's no telling how annoying and exexpensive such proceeding may become, unless the balance of your organs are unable to hold up their end of the job and you cease to be a living part of things Nature gave unto every nerve and organ, flesh and bone, a duty to perform, and over and above them all a brain as guide and master. Every man to be a useful and happy citizen must first determine upon his place in this gigantic scheme of life, and cooperate to the best of his ability with those who are both directly and indirectly depending upon his doing so, to keep the cycle turning.

Quarton and family are in the Bakersfield Mountains on a camping expedition. Mrs. Nagle and son returned this week from a week's outing at Laguna Beach.
