ITS MANY ATTRACTIONS Make Anaheim a city eminently desirable for home and industry alike. California's climate, Orange county soil, and its own progressiveness make it "one in a million."

For sixty years the Anaheim Gazette has faithfully made its appearance in the homes of the people of Anaheim and its vicinity. It was born in October, 1870, and has never missed an issue since its establishment. In that early day, sixty years ago, there were not many homes for it to visit, but it chronicled all the doings of the little colony and was a welcome visitor in every home. Anaheim then was only a colony of vineyardists. Each of the colonists owned a 20-acre plat and the growing of grapes for wine making was the chief industry. The colonists had incorporated under the name of the Los Angeles Vineyard Co. It is said there were 47 wineries and nine distilleries in operation by the grape growers, and Anaheim wine gained a high reputation in the east. The Gazette was established in October, 1870, by George W. Barter. Considering the narrow field it had to draw business from, it was an ambitious undertaking, but its founder was himself possessed with a pioneer spirit and had faith in the future of this community. The paper immediately began its mission of boosting for the home town and did much towards its development. Of the original colonists, the pioneers who carved a garden spot out of the semi-desert overgrown with cactus, sage and wild mustard, all have passed on, not a single one now being alive, but the Gazette, that labored by their side and shared their hardships, still lives. The files of the Gazette contain a complete and truthful history of the town since that October day when its first issue was printed. It has seen the original settlers pass away, one at a time, until all are now sleeping their eternal sleep in the cemetery, and the passing of each and every one is recorded in its columns. During the first few years of its life the Gazette changed hands a number of times, but a glance at its files shows that no matter who was at the helm it was always loyal to the town and worked unceasingly for its advancement. More than forty years ago the present owner purchased it and has been the guiding spirit of its career ever since. The Gazette has always supported proposals for improvements. It has fought for every proposition presented for the advancement of the town and community. In the earlier days here that always opposed the spending of that always opposed the spending of money for civic improvements. These people opposed building sidewalks, paying the streets, a city hall, city park, school buildings, and all other proposals for municipal advancement. The Gazette was always battling strenuous- Football Fans Off For North Many Enthusiasts Preparing to Attend U. S. C.-Stanford Battle A number of local football enthusiasts are leaving on Thursday and Friday for Palo Alto to be present at the game between U. S. C. and Stanford on Saturday afternoon. This game has aroused a great degree of interest, not only on the coast, but in the east as well, as one of the outstanding gridiron battles of the year. Word comes from Palo Alto that the Stadium is sold out and there promises to be a capacity audience at the game. Thousands of U. S. C. rooters will attend, going by train, airplane and private conveyance. Local fans who will see the game include Harry Arthur of the Fox theatre, who will join his son, the latter's wife and a party of friends from Los Angeles., who go north in their own coveyance on Friday afternoon. Mr. Arthur has a son in his second year at Stanford, but goes as a rooster for U. S. C. He saw the Stanford-Army game in New York last year and is a football enthusiast from away back. Another party will be composed of Doc and Mrs. Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. Harry and Mrs. Barns, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Dunton. Leo Sheridan and Billy Wallop have been telling their friends they will attend the game, and it is quite possible they will stampede the reservation and beat it for the north wheeler school keeps or no. They will tell friends all about the game when they return. Other fans who will attend are Oscar W. Heying, Evan Alsip, Dave Morris, Jos. Henhorn, Ted and Tommy Kuchel. Charlie Mann will be absent from his usual seat in the stadium. This will be the first game he will miss in a long time. He and his wife will attend the Stanford-Army game at Palo Alto the Saturday before Christmas. Father O'Sullivan Speaks Daughters of the American Revo u-Lee responded. Mrs. Kate E.

It has fought for every proposition presented for the advancement of the town and community. In the earlier days here that always opposed the spending of that always opposed the spending of money for civic improvements. These people opposed building sidewalks, paying the streets, a city hall, city park, school buildings, and all other proposals for municipal advancement. The Gazette was always battling strenuously for these or any other proposition that could make the town a better place in which to live. Sometimes it was on the winning side, but frequently found itself among the ranks of the defeated. But it was always ready for another fray. It is some satisfaction to know that the progressive faction finally won on all these proposals. When this paper was founded sixty years ago there were few people here to support it and its income was rather meagre. Anaheim was a frontier hamlet built mostly of adobe, and the country surrounding it, now covered with valuable orchards, was a vast mustard field where predatory stock roamed. Only one or two houses standing at that time are still here. Orange county was a portion of Los Angeles county then and the little village of grape growers was the only town in the territory of what is now Orange county. Y. M. C. A. DRIVE The Anaheim Y. M. C. A. is this week making its annual drive for funds. The budget this year calls for $6,500, and this is the amount solicitors are endeavoring to raise. Last year the expenditures were $5,338.86, which almost depleted the treasury, as it left a surplus of only $249, according to the annual statement of the treasurer, H. W. Lewis. Dr. H. A. Johnston is chairman of the campaign committee. Father O'Sullivan Speaks Daughters of the American Revo union and their friends packed the Pioneer house of Anaheim Friday afternoon, when the hostesses dispensed with the business meeting and devoted the entire afternoon to the lecture by Rev. Father O'Sullivan of San Juan Capistrano mission. The speaker told of the early missions, of the first expedition, the hardships encountered, the Indians of his region and the descendants of that first group who still live in Southern California. Among those present were Miss Amy Hartman and Mrs. Anna DeFresse of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Ferdinand Backs and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer of Anaheim. STUDENTS HOLD BANQUET Honoring former student officials, the student body commissioned of the Anaheim Union High school staged a banquet in the Girls' League room last Friday evening. President George Blewitt was toastmaster of the affair, at which some twenty present and past student officers of Anaheim attended. Besides a short program given by high school pupils, amusement was provided by the alumni members, who each one told what he or she is doing at present. The banquet, which it is hoped may come to be an annual affair, closed early to permit some of the students to practice their parts in the Christmas vaudeville to be given the middle of next month.

Edison was the subject of the principal address delivered to the Lions' club at the regular weekly luncheon Friday, the speaker being F. Van Gillowe, a representative of the Pacific Electric Products Co., of Los Angeles. Mr. Van Gillowe paid high tribute to Mr. Edison for his many achievements. It was reported by President George Holden that the directors, at a meeting Thursday night, had decided to enter a float in the Hallowe'en parade, but will not attempt to build a float for the Armistice Day parade at Huntington Beach because of lack of time in which to prepare it. The directors also decided that an educational program should be given at the first meeting each month, beginning with December. A committee composed of Al Bartlett, Charles Pearson, Ross Phegley and Harry Moore was appointed to construct the Hallowe'en float and have charge of it. The educational program is to be in charge of a committee composed of Clyde Cramer, Ernest Ganahl, C. C. Lamb and Lotus H. Loudon. A flood control committee was also appointed. It is composed of C. C. JUNIOR COLLEGE PROBLEM STILL UNSETTLED VOTE OF THE PEOPLE WILL BE NECESSARY BEFORE IT IS SETTLED Fullerton H. S. Trustees Sign Petition to Supervisors Asking Formation of District Composed of Anaheim, Brea-Olinda and Fullerton Districts; Anaheim May File A Protest, and Election Will Be Called. Fullerton's determination to retain her own junior college and add other districts to it, forming a northern Orange county district, notwithstanding the well known opposition, is apparent, but it is not likely to succeed so far as the addition of other territory to the school's present domain is concerned. Five Killed At Railroad Crossing Entire Jap Family Meet Death When Train Strikes Auto Five Fullerton residents are dead as the result of one of the most tragic accidents in the history of this section. All members of one Japanese family were killed instantly Saturday evening at 4:15 when their car was struck by a Santa Fe passenger train at a crossing about three miles northwest of Fullerton. The dead are Denjuro Serizawa, 26, and his wife and three small children. The car, which was an old Ford touring, was completely demolished and had been carried approximately 100 feet before it was pushed off the tracks. The bodies were strewn beside the tracks and two of the bodies were carcored the train could be stopped. Fore the train could be stopped. Serizawa who was a resident of the pastanchury ranch and who had a small part of the ranch under lease, was journeying south on a dirt road which led on to the main highway to Fullerton, and apparently drove upon the tracks unaware that he was in front of an oncoming north-bound passenger train. Although the engineer of the train applied the air brakes, it was impossible to stop in time to avoid the crash. All the victims were dead when passengers of the train arrived at the scene of the accident. The bodies were taken to the J. E. Seale funeral parlor, where an inquest was held at 2:30 p.m. Monday by Coroner Charles D. Brown. Funeral Services For Mrs. Hartung Funeral services over the body of Mrs. Hartung were held at Backs, Terry and Campbell chapel at 10 o'clock Saturday, Rev. Thomas H. Walker of the Presbyterian church, officiating and interment was held in the family plot in Anaheim cemetery. Olinda and Fullerton Districts; Anaheim May File A Protest, and Election Will Be Called. Fullerton's determination to retain her own junior college and add other districts to it, forming a northern Orange county district, notwithstanding the well known opposition, is apparent, but it is not likely to succeed so far as the addition of other territory to the school's present domain is concerned. That efforts to force Anaheim into the Fullerton district will prove futile was made plain at a recent joint meeting of the high school boards of this city and Fullerton, which was attended and participated in by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. The proposal to endorse a Northern Orange county college was unanimously rejected by the people at the meeting, and it was made clear to the visitors that this city favors a county-wide school and will not consent to join the Fullerton district, whereupon members of the visiting board stated that they did not believe the vote represented the sentiment of the people of Anaheim, and they proposed to bring the matter to a vote. Petitions to the board of supervisors and County Superintendent R. P. Mitchell, asking for the formation of a junior college district to include Fullerton, Anaheim and Brea-Ollinda, have signed by the Fullerton High school board, consequently this district, in order to prevent being incorporated in it, must present a protest to the supervisors signed by 20 per cent of the voters. Should this protest be filed, the supervisors will then call an election and the people will decide the matter. Proposals now, have been voiced looking toward inclusion of Anaheim in both the Fullerton district and the one suggested for Garden Grove, Huntingto Beach, Orange and Santa Ana. Not being contiguous to the Santa Ana high school district, Anaheim cannot be included at once in the district projected for this region, but could enter it after its formation had extended the boundaries to the edge of the Anaheim district. The Fullerton petition, however, will not be filed until after a meeting with the Brea-Ollinda high school board can be held. It was reported that the Anaheim and Brea-Ollinda districts will be given ample time in which to enter protests and bring the matter to an election. The Brea-Ollinda district, it is understood, is as strongly opposed to the Fullerton plan as is Anaheim. Aged Veteran Called By Death John Huhn, aged 85 years, died at his home on North Citrus street Thursday after a long illness. Mr. Huhn was born in Germany, but came to America Funeral Services For Mrs. Hartung Funeral services over the body of Mrs. Hartung were held at Backs, Terry and Campbell chapel at 10 o'clock Saturday, Rev. Thomas H. Walker of the Presbyterian church, officiating and interment was held in the family plot in Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Hartung was 67 years old and had lived in Anaheim 37 years. For several years past she and her husband had made their home at Venice but Mr. Hartung died three years ago. She is survived by her son, Edgar J. Hartung. Pallbearers at the funeral of Mrs. Hartung were old-time residents and intimate friends of the family. They were F. A. Yungbluth, Leonard Hessel, John Cassou, Wm. Falkenstein, Hugo Strodthoff and H. H. Benjamin. VALUATION OF STATE The state comptroller has just issued his annual statement showing the assessed value of property in California.
