IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 24, 1880 The Riverside cannery is now in full operation and gives employment to eighty persons. It puts up four tons of fruit per day. It will interest the people of Anaheim to know that apricots are much sought after by canning establishments. The San Jose canneries pay 5 cents per pound for that fruit and the Riverside cannery pays 2½ cents per pound. Even at the latter figure it is estimated that an acre of apricot trees (120) in full bearing would yield an income of $900. Apricots grow finely in this locality and the orchards of the future should have a good sized corner set apart for that fruit. Mr. D. Kraemer has just headed 300 acres of chevolier barley and rye which promises to give the largest yield ever made on a farm famous for producing heavy crops. Mr. Kraemer is a firm believer in early sowing and we notice that the number of people who hold that view are increasing of late. Mr. Harris of Garden Grove has about a quarter of an acre of Aizco corn which is doing famously. If this corn grows well here, of which there is little doubt, it will be quite a boon, as it makes a flour as white as nutritious as wheat. A project which General Phineas Banning has had in contemplation for some time was begun yesterday in Wilmington. It is the extension of the railrod wharf by a system of piling across the shallow channel and down Mormon Island to a point at which sufficient depth of water can be secured for vessels to tie up. We are not informed of the exact locality where it is proposed to establish the new landing or dock but believe it is to be up the channel and diagonally across from Timm's Landing where a clear depth of water is secured three feet greater than on the bar at the entrance of the harbor.

It is the extension of the railrod wharf by a system of piling across the shallow channel and down Mormon Island to a point at which sufficient depth of water can be secured for vessels to tie up. We are not informed of the exact locality where it is proposed to establish the new landing or dock but believe it is to be up the channel and diagonally across from Timm's Landing where a clear depth of water is secured three feet greater than on the bar at the entrance of the harbor. This improvement when completed will disperse entirely with the lighter age system now in use and our merchants and shippers as well as all who have traveled in and out of the port need not be told that this will be an unmixed blessing. Mr. H. L. Paty was riding on horseback in the Santiago canyon a few days ago, in the rear of his team, and amusing himself by shooting rabbits with his revolver. He was keeping such a sharp lookout for game that he did not see a large rattlesnake which lay coiled up in the middle of the road. The first intimation he had of its presence was a warning rattle. He had just time to raise his foot from the stirrup before the snake darted forward and imbedded its fangs in the stirrup leather. Mr. Paty killed the snake and found it to be one of the largest of its species. Its body was as thick as a man's leg. The second anniversary picnic of the Anaheim Fire Department was as great a success as anticipated. Three carloads of excursionists arrived from Los Angeles at 11 o'clock and the subsequent parade from Fireman's Headquarters to the Tivoli gardens was participated in by the Los Angeles Band, the "Thirty Eights" Fire Company, the Los Angeles Guards, and the Anaheim Fire Company. The absence of the blue shirted members of Confidence No. 2, was generally remarked, but it was attributed to the insane jealously existing between the two Los Angeles companies, and not to any feeling against the Anaheim company. At the Gardens the amusements were many and varied, and much sport was had. The company has not struck a balance yet but there is no doubt that their treasury will be a great deal richer by the net proceeds of the picnic. The net gain to the organizers of the excursion, from Los Angeles amounted to $104, which was divided between the Thirty Eights Engine company and the Los Angeles Guards. The sale of the Temescal Tin mines will shortly be consumed, if indeed, the sale is not already effected. The purchasers are two wealthy firms, dealers in metals, one doing business in New York and the other in London. There can be no question that the moment they obtain sole control of the mines will witness the beginning of preparations for working them on a scale greater than any one here has dreamed of. The price paid for the mines, one million and a half dollars—gives an inkling of the stupendous wealth at the command of the purchasers. It is a fact not generally known that the attention of the New York firm was first drawn to these mines by Mr. H. S. Knapp of Silverado, and upon his representations the firm sent lawyers, surveyors, experts and photographers to the mine in rapid succession. New York and the other in London.

The Union Brass Band, recently organized, is composed of the following gentlemen: N. A. Bittner, E. flat cornet; R. H. Gilman, B. Flat solo; Wm. Kroeger, 1st B flat cornet; H. Hussman, 2nd B flat cornet; O. Zeyn, 1st E. flat alto; A. Bittner, 1st tenor; C. E. Rubottom, 2nd tenor; J. D. Williamson, baritone; M. A. Yarnell, B flat bass Mel Greenleaf, E flat tuba. The seven first named are residents of Anaheim, and the other four are residents of Santa Ana. Prof. Finck is their instructor. About noon on Wednesday a fire of considerable magnitude got started among the grass and brush about two miles southeast of town. The house of Mr. R. D. Curtis was in great danger of being consumed and he sent to town for help. The fire bell summoned a number of firemen who went to the scene of the conflagration in wagons and soon subdued the flames. It has been suggested, in view of the frequent runaways in town of late, that an ordinance ought to be passed compelling the hitching of teams within the corporate limits. The lives of children are in constant peril from runaway teams. George Shaffer, of the Bank of Anaheim, went to San Diego on Wednesday evening on receipt of a telegram announcing the death of his father. Attention is called to the card of Mr. A. T. Julius Voight whose private school where German, French, Drawing, Mathematics and all branches of a high school course are taught. There is also a school of gymnastics and fencing for boys and gymnastics and calisthenics for girls meeting twice a week in the old school house. A cablegram from London to Dr. Ellis on last Saturday announced the safe arrival in that city of Dr. R. A. Fergusson. T. A. Darling is preparing a cabinet of ores—the product of the mines of the Santiago Gold and Silver Mining company—for exhibition at the coming District Fair. He intends to make it a very attractive exhibit. Mrs...J.J. Among those people were Mrs. Wm. M. Storm, Miss Fay, Miss Hett Mr. and Ms. A.T., and will may extend the territory.

County Surveyor Finley submitted a report giving a detailed estimate of the cost of the work. His plans provide for a channel 400 feet in width, flanked on either side by flood channels each 100 feet wide and planted with willows or other bushes to prevent washing. A dirt levee 25 feet wide bounds the channel on either side enclosing the flood channels. Finley's estimate of the cost per mile is $7800, or a total cost for the ten miles of $78,000. For each mile the grading will cost $2500, the border $2400, right of way $2400, trees, etc., for flood channels, $500. The supervisors on Tuesday by a vote of 4 to 1 decided to sanction the formation of a levee and protection district. Following the passage of the motion to grant the petition for in corporation a resolution was passed fixing the boundaries of the district in accordance with the survey made by Col. Finley. This makes the district include the Bolsa, Talbert, Newhope and Newport territory and fixes the northern boundary at the West Orange crossing of the Southern Pacific. Having gained the necessary concession from the supervisors, the ranchmen will proceed at once to take the necessary legal steps for putting the district upon a working basis, with a view to voting bonds and starting the work of making the new river channel in time to be prepared for next winter's storms. Fritz Yungbluth is interesting local business men in the formation of a retail dealers association, similar to those in existence in other localities and will be ready to lay some interesting information before a meeting of business men which is called to meet tomorrow (Friday) evening, at Armory hall (downstairs).

Fritz has been in communication with G. D. Plato of Modesto, formerly a well-known merchant of this city, who has written a letter setting forth the advantages of a business men's association. Anaheim has its crop of beats along with other long-suffering communities, and it is the purpose of the association to round them up, brand them and publish their names in the newspapers. Good luck to the new association and may it camp on the trail of the chap who makes it a practice never to pay his bills. A further extension of the line of the Pacific Electric railway system some forty miles down the coast to Oceanside, it is learned that it is one of the plans for the greater development of Southern California which H. E. Huntington will make effective soon after his return from New York. He has recently purchased the Rancho Paulra near Oceanside and secured options on an aggregate of 75,000 acres of other property in the vicinity. Joseph Helmsen has purchased the Water Company's lot on Claudina street adjoining his residence, upon which the company intended erecting a warehouse, and the latter structure will be erected elsewhere. The explosion of the Bennington's boiler in San Diego harbor, whereby sixty were killed outright and fifty injured, furnishes one of the most deplorable occurrences in the annals of the American Navy. The blowing up of the Maine provoked war and vengeance followed fast at Manila bay and Santiago harbor. The Bennington disaster bows the head of the nation in deepest sorrow. The fact that two seamen by the name of Chambers were killed in the Bennington disaster, led to the report that John Chambers, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Chambers of this city had lost his life in the wreck of the vessel. This is an error. Young Chambers is at Mare Island and was not a member of the Bennington's crew. He is aged 19 and has been three years in the navy. Mrs. J. J. Schneider entertained the Apollo club on Friday. Among those present who participated in the delightful program were Mrs. Wm. Koing, Mrs. R. Schellens, Mrs. R. B. Clemens, Mrs. M. Storm, Miss Sophie Rimpau, Miss Marie Rimpau, Miss Theresa Fay, Miss Hetfie Weisel, and the hostess Mrs. Schneider. Mr. and Mrs. Will Lawrence came in this week from Cochise A. T., and will spend a few weeks visiting relatives here. They may extend their trip to the Portland fair before returning to the territory. $10,000,000, while 10 counties had totals in excess of $20,000. In the nine counties immediately contiguous to the San Francisco bay three were 288 filings during the year with an aggregate value of $250,782,500, giving Los Angeles a lead of two to one in number of deals and $185,780,000 in value. The nine highest counties in the state after Los Angeles were Alameda, $73,707,500; San Francisco, $67,062,500; Sana Diego, $61,470,000; San Bernardino, $34,615,000; Orange, $34,612,500; Fresno, $28,737,500; Riverside, $23,782,500; Santa Clara, 023,245,000; and San Mateo, $22,462,500. The figures were compiled by Glenn A. Schaefer, chiefman of the board of general managers, Security Title Insurance and Guarantee company. Equalization Board Finishes Labors Exercising one of its most important functions in determining what public utility properties are operative and subject to state taxes, and which are non-operative, subject to county taxation, the State Board of Equalization made several important decisions during the regular three weeks summer hearings of that body, which was just concluded. Other subjects of vital interest to taxpayers were disposed of while the Board was in session, according to H. G. Cattell, representative of the Fourth District on the Board. "Several decisions which will undoubtedly set precedents for future cases were made by the Board," Mr. Cattell said. "Among them was one concerning the Radio Corporation of America. This company had endeavored to have property owned by them in Marin County removed from the county tax rolls, declaring that it was operative." "After a careful investigation we turned down their plea, holding that the counties have a right to tax property owned by utilities unless it can be definitely proven that the property is in actual use to produce gross receipts for these corporations." Hope that the next legislature will clarify existing state law regarding taxation of automotive freight carriers was expressed by Mr. Cattell. "We heard a number of protests from highway transportation companies concerning basis of their assessments," he explained. There was much less disposition on the part of these companies to question their taxes this year than formerly, but more difficulty in determining who are common carriers over regular routes and fixed terminals, so as to come within-the scope of the law requiring tax on gross receipts. The law is not clear and is susceptible of various interpretations." The gross receipts tax on passenger carriers is apparently working suc- Mrs..J. J.

T., and will spend a few weeks visiting relatives here. They may extend their trip to the Portland fair before returning to the territory. Robin Adair Scott came over from Long Beach on Saturday evening to attend the minstrel show and lead the society cake walk at the subsequent hop. Scotty wears eyeglasses now, has abandoned the printing business and devotes his attention to seaside realty. Misses Zelma and George Bailey are here from Phoenix A. T., spending a short visit with relatives. Miss Mellie Ray, of Minnesota, is visiting with Dr. and Mrs. Beebe. F. W. Fleischman and Mr. and Mrs. Napolean Hart returned Sunday from a fortnights outing at San Juan Hot Springs. J. B. Rea has received a letter of inquiry from Australia asking for information regarding the walnut industry and requesting an opinion as to whether nuts would do well in that country. Miss Ethel Chapman, daughter of C. C. Chapman of Fullerton was thrown from her buggy in a runaway accident at that place on Monday. She sustained severe bruises but no permanent injury is anticipated. Oscar Renner and family left on Tuesday for an outing at San Juan Hot Springs. George Montour of Oakland was married yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock to Miss Laura Louise Rothaermel, daughter of Mrs. Amanda Rothaermel, at the family residence 508 Los Angeles street. Rev. Calleen of Los Angeles officiated. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal couple left for Oakland where the groom is engaged with the Santa Fe passenger department. On Sunday afternoon and evening next, at Athletic Park, the celebrated Sioux Indian baseball team will play the Olindas. Two games will be played, the afternoon game at 3:30, the evening game at 8 o'clock. The evening game will be played under electric lights.—[Who said evening baseball is a new thing?—Ed.] STATE ING HANDS Volume Transacted California During Last Year billion dollars in real estate transacted in Callifornia high record for the transfers of property were 88 counties of the state with a value of $34,612,500. are disclosed in the 1930 progress number of the Estate Magazine, editor, man, secretary of the Estate Association. ranked 6th among the California in the value of transactions, with a total of $34,612,500. exx of a state's business be found than in its success," commented Willia-ness is bad, property last year, in the face stock market collapse, it is California real estate led a billion dollars." county contributed 40 volume of transfers in grand total of 173,000 land worth $432,562,500. entities showed property valuation of more than 10 counties had totals 10,000. the counties immediately the San Francisco bay fillings during the year value of $250,782,500. ales a lead of two to one calls and $185,780,000 in most counties in the Angeles were Alameda, Francisco, $67,062,500; 44,470,000; San Bernar-; Orange, $34,612,500; 600; Riverside, $23,782,- in the payment of the monthly installment of principal and interest, due and payable on said note January 1, 1930, and a default in the payment of all subsequent monthly installments of principal and interest due and payable thereon, according to the terms thereof, and a default in the payment of the moneys advanced in accordance with the provisions of said deed of trust, and by reason of such defaults, the said SUE MAGEE, the owner and holder of said note and deed of trust, on, to-wit.
