IN THE DAYS OF LOC Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Centur Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Oran 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 12, 1880 The Republican convention at Chicago completed its labors on Thursday evening. On the thirty-sixth ballot Gen. James A. Garfield, of Ohio, was nominated for president, the vote standing: Garfield, 399; Grant, 306; Blajne, 41; Sherman, 3; Washburne, 5. The nomination was made by a combination of the Anti-Grant delegates, the Grant men standing together to the last. Chester A. Arthur ex-collector of customs of new York, was unanimously nominated for vice-president. James A. Garfield was born in Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio, November 19, 1831, was graduated at Williams college, Massachusetts in 1856, and adopted the profession of law. He fought throughout the Civil war and was appointed a Brigadier General and later served as chief of staff to General Rosecrans. He was elected to the 38th, 39th, 40th, 41st, 42nd, 43rd, 44th, 45th, and 46th Congresses. As a speaker and debater Gen. Garfield has no superior in the United States. The title of "Rev." is sometimes applied to him, as he was for a short time a preacher of the Campbellite faith. Prof. Watson, of Harvard University to whom was sent a copy of the Gazette containing a description of the Santiago Oak Grove (which was written by our correspondent, Miss Jennie R. Bush) has written us a letter commending the article. Speaking of the trees he says: "That is a remarkable collection of trees and well worth seeing, and the meaurements you give should be put on record. They much exceed the largest given by Prof. Brewer (2 to 2½ feet in diameter). I will send the Gazette containing the description to Dr. Engleman, of St. Louis, who is interested in all things pertaining to oaks, and who is our authority upon the genus and worked it up for the "Botany of California." You will not object to my citing your name as authority for measurements in the Botany?

Yocum on Sunday called forth a widespread expression of sorrow. He was greatly beloved and esteemed by every one in this community and in his death each of our citizens feel a sense of personal loss. None stood higher than he in his profession, and although a constant sufferer himself, he was always kind and sympathetic to the afflicted. The memory of this kind, quiet and thoughtful man will remain green for years to come. The funeral on Monday was largely attended, and the ceremonies were in charge of Anaheim Lodge F. and A. M. of which society he was a member. The great American eagle which for so long a time has decorated that particular part of our columns where reposes the advertisement of Mr. R. Luedke has taken its flight and another beautiful picture has taken its place. Mr. Luedke's new lot of watches and jewelry are worth an inspection. Manuel Arvalo, of Anaheim, was thrown from his wagon on Boyle Heights near Los Angeles, on last Monday and sustained severe injuries about the head. Arvalo was thrown from his seat by a sudden jolt of the wagon as he was crossing a ditch. Two of Mr. Kruger's children were with him, but they were not injured. The citizens of Santa Ana valley and other localities in this part of the country are requested to participate in a Grand Fourth of July celebration to be held at the beautiful poplar and eucalyptus grove belonging to Mr. Silas Ritchie, two miles south of Santa Ana on Saturday, July 3rd. No pains will be spared to make the day enjoyable to all. Solendid artesion water will be furnished on the ground through pipes and a good dance floor will be erected.

A specimen of ore from the ledge struck on the Blue Light Claim Silverado is at Ferguson and Lake's drug store. Compared with a specimen of Leadville ore which assayed 700 ounces to the ton, there is little dissimilarity. The ledge in the Blue Light is we learn, more than three feet in width. Water will probably reach Anaheim today through the Cayon ditch. The ditch is now in thorough repair as far down as the division gate, and unless some unforeseen accident occurs, the flow of water will be continuous throughout the summer. Dr. R. A. Ferguson left for England a few days ago whither he was called by the death of his father. In his absence Dr. James Ellis will preside over the sanatorium and assume charge of the doctor's practice.

Don David Yorba was in town this week from his ranch up the river. He holds to the view that the opinion of Judge Noyes in the suit of the water companies versus Ashcroft is based upon bound principles of law and equity. He says Ashcroft acquired the water rights of his father, the late Prudencio Yorba and he DAYLIGHT SAVING IN THIS STATE You May Have a Chance to Vote On Setting Clocks Ahead Daylight saving, which is rapidly becoming a perennial movement in California, will probably appear as an initiative measure on the ballot at the November general election. If adopted, the law will cause all clocks in California to be set forward one hour from the months of April to September. Inclusive, the same as in New York and other eastern cities. The fight over daylight saving is a repetition of the old city vs. farmers battle. Petitions to place the measure on the ballot are being circulated in Los Angeles, San Diego, Oakland, San Francisco and the larger cities of the state. Workers in city offices and the big manufacturing plants favor the plan because it would give them an extra hour of daylight for recreation in the evenings. But at the same time they would have to arise an hour earlier to get to work during the summer. Farmers and farm hands, however, insist that it just means an extra hour of work every day, as during the harvest season they must work from dawn to daylight anyway. Heretofore the proponents of daylight saving have been beaten in the state legislature, largely by the "farm bloe" members and the agricultural legislative committee, whose recommendations carry weight with the legislators from rural sections. The California Daylight Saving League, which has been organized to lead the campaign in favor of the measure believes that "The economic value of daylight saving to the state is realized to such an extent that little or no difficulty will be encountered in placing the initiative measure before the voters." Major oil companies and other industrial plants have had daylight saving partly in effect already this year in both northern and southern Cali- Don David Yorba was in town this week from his ranch up the river. He holds to the view that the opinion of Judge Noyes in the suit of the water companies versus Ashcroft is based upon sound principles of law and equity. He says Ashcroft acquired the water rights of his father, the late Prudencio Yorba and he considers them to be as well established as in the state. He considers the Ashcroft right identical with those applying to the Durkee ranch, and says that in upholding the former Judge Noyes followed the decision of Judge Bledsoe in the Fuller case, wherein the rights of the Durkee ranch were established. Don David has one of the finest fields of corn in the county growing upon his ranch up the river from which he expects to harvest a record breaking yield this season. After celebration of Mass at the St. Bonifice church on Sunday the congregation repaired to the old church, where the St. Bonifice society was reorganized. Jacob Everhardy was elected president; Joseph Dauser, vice president; C. F. Grim, secretary, and Ben Dauer, treasurer. The object of the society is to provide for liquidating the debt upon the new church building as well as for making necessary improvements, construction of sidewalks, etc. Members of the congregation resolved to establish branch of the Knights of Columbus, and final action was deferred pending receipt of further information upon the subject. One of the most enjoyable social hops of the season was given in the dancing pavilion at the home place of Mr. and Mrs. de la Guerra at Yorba on Wednesday evening. The host and hostess were assisted in receiving by Miss Mattie Yorba. Their verberial hospitality was extended to all and a very pleasant dancing party was participated in. Excellent music was furhished for the dance and all the numbers were enjoyed immeasurably refreshments were served and at a late hour the dancers said good night to the gracious hosts and departed for their homes. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. de la Guerra, Miss Jattie Yorba, Miss U. Yorba, Miss E. Brown, Misses Rimpau, Miss G. Brown, Miss Dominguez, Miss P. Nemetz, Miss Nebelung, Miss J. Bowen, Miss D. Dominguez, Miss L. Potter, Mr. and Mrs. E. Velasco, J. Encinas H. Skinner, E. W. Ruiz, Happy Hooligan, Oscar Lil' Joe, E. Bayha, J. C. Lugo, F. Burrello, P. Nicolas, P.

Modjeska appeared in Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James S. Rice at Tustin in a social function given by the Ladies Guild of the church of the Messiah rendering some interpretative recitations, which she had never before presented in public. Mme. Modjeska and Count Bozenta are spending most of their time at their mountain home, Arden, in Santiago canyon making frequent trips to outlying points as guests of friends. Miss Ethel Lovering and Harry P. Moffit were married in fullerton yesterday. Rev. J. M. Hopkins officiating. Mr. and Mrs. Moffit will make their home in Indiana. Smokers Cause Big Increase in Fires Careless smokers are one of the main causes of the consistent yearly increase in the number of forest and brush fires in California, according to report of Regional Forester S. B. Show, based on conclusions drawn from an analysis of 10 years of fire records of the U.S. Forest Service and the Division of Forestry, State Department of Natural Resources. In 1922, when careless smoking was segregated from other causes of fires, there were 483 fires charged to this source; in 1929 there were 1,631 fires, or an increase of 238 per cent. In 1920, says Mr. Show, there were 1,795 forest and brush fires in the entire State and this total has grown steadily, except in 1922, to 4,803 fires in 1929, or an increase of 167 per cent. The main causes of this increase are debris or brush burning, incendiaries and careless smokers. The first two causes have shown an increase in the past four years, but careless smokers who throw burning tobacco from autos, airplanes and trains, and smoke in the woods and fields are clearly the worst offenders. Industrial fires caused by railroads and lumber companies show a tendency to decrease, and it is to the credit of the camper, states the regional forester, that there has been no increase in the annual number of conflagrations caused by the careless leaving of a burning camp fire—this in spite of a large increase in travel to the mountain recreation grounds. Forest service records show that the number of people who visits national forests of California increased 1,575 per cent in the past ten years. This far exceeds the 255 per cent increase in smokers' fires, most of which can reasonably be charg- Mme. Modjeska appeared in Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James S.

Henry Kroeger has been indisposed for some days past as the result of a kick from a horse which he was feeding. Mr. Kroeger is aged 76, and is one of the oldest residents of this city. Yesterday his condition was improved and he will probably soon be able to be out again. Mr. Heitshusen has purchased the Simmons property at the corner of Chartres and Hermine streets and will occupy it with his family.* The purchase price is said to be $3700.

Anaheim, Calif., June 5, 1980 ed to travelers, but it also proves that the campaign for more care with fire in the forests, now being carried on by the newspapers, associations and the State Division of Forestry and Federal Forest Service, is an urgent necessity. In the ten-year period from 1920 to 1929, inclusive, 28,926 forest, brush and grass fires occurred in California and of these 6,105 or 21 per cent were set by summer lightning storms and 22,821 or 79 per cent, were caused by man. About one-eight of the man-caused fires were deliberately set by incendiaries and the other seven-eights were the result of pure carelessness. During this period the State Division of Forestry and the Federal Forest Service spent $9,312,116 to prevent and control fires, and the estimated value of the timber, forage and improvements destroyed on 8,000,000 acres burned over is $14,144,115. This loss of over $23,000,000 has come out of the pockets of the tax payers but is far from representing the total damage. The dead and lifeless forests, ruined camping spots, blackened landscapes, denuded watersheds and destroyed hunting grounds will offend the eyes of travelers and be an economic waste for many years to come.
