IN THE DAYS OF I 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 AUGUST 14, 1880 The State Board of Equalization visited Los Angeles a few days ago with the avowed intention of raising the assessed valuation of all property in this county from ten to fifteen per cent. After making a thorough examination of the assessment roll, however, they decided not to alter it, but they exacted a promise from the assessor to raise the property valuation next year. It seems that the action of the State Board in raising the assessments of the various counties is in consequence of the complaints made by the assessor of San Francisco, who maintains that in no other county of the state is the assessed value of property so near the true value as in San Francisco. However, that may be, it is certain that land and improvements in this county are rated much higher this year than they have been heretofore. As Judge Dinero of San Jaun Capistrano was driving home in a buggy one day last week he was halted by an individual, who presented a shot gun to enforce obedience to his demand. The judge, however, could not respond to the demand for money as he hadn't any, and he was suffered to pursue his way unscathed. The affair occurred at about the same point on the road as did the attempted stage robbery three years ago. The two French Merino bucks purchased by the late Chas. Wagner in San Francisco a few days before his death, at a price of $300 arrived on Tuesday night and were housed at Lewis' stable by Mr. Nawhan. They are very fine animals and justify the encomiums heaped upon them by sheepmen. The Rev. Wm. H. Hill of Los Angeles will preach and administer the Holy Communion at the Episcopal church tomorrow morning, service to begin at 11 o'clock. There will be evening service and the sacrament of Baptism administered at half-past The two French Merino bucks purchased by the late Chas.

Cullen, lost an arm while serving his country as a soldier in the Confederate army. J. H. Lothrop, the candidate of the Republican party for the office of Tax Collector, lost a leg while serving his country in the Federal army. Rev. Mr. Reese, the Greenback-Labor candidate for Tax Collector, obtained the nomination on the strength of his having lost an arm in the service of the Lord. Dr. Tanner has finished his fast of forty days and is in good physical condition. During the forty days of his abstinence he lost 36 pounds, weighing at the outcome 121½ pounds. In New York where the fasting was done, few question the genuineness of the test, as he was closely watched at the time by reputable physicians. A well-known wholesale liquor firm in Los Angeles publishes an advertisement in a city paper requesting one of the signers (naming him) to call for a county prohibition convention to call at their office instantly and settle his whiskey bill. A peculiarly sad, fatal accident occurred on Monday at the farm of Mr. Ance Gwin north of town. Mr. Cyril Gwin, a brother, who is temporarily living there, had a little girl about sixteen months old, and while playing in the yard late in the afternoon the child leaned over a tub filled with water, presumably to dabble in the water. The child was missed only a few minutes and was found standing on the ground, its arms and face in the water and life extinct. Dr. J. S. Gardiner was called as speedily as possible and although the child was evidently dead when he arrived, he spent half an hour endeavoring to resuscitate it. The untimely death of the dear, interesting little girl calls for the compassion and sympathy of everyone for the bereaved parents and relatives. Frank Ey, proprietor of the Exchange saloon in Santa Ana, has procured a patent for Hancocktails and Garfield toddies as appears by a unique business card which he has had printed at the Gazette job office. There is a heap of information on that card. Get one. The Board of Town Trustees have fixed the rate of taxation for the present year at 75 cents on the $100. The Board further resolved to grant water for the use of the public school free of charge. A Mexican named Galinde was stabbed in Los Angeles on Sunday by a fellow country man named Ocana, and his wounds are considered severe. Ocana escaped. appears by a unique business card which he has had printed at the Gazette job office. There is a heap of information on that card. Get one.

Hilmer found a policeman's star near the Tivoli Gardens a few days ago. It was probably lost by one of the Los Angeles officers on the day of the picnic. The loser can find it at this office. Mr. Olden has been suffering from an attack of malarial fever during the week but we are glad to say he is now convalescent. He was indiscreet enough to attend the Democratic convention in Los Angeles, to which fact he attributes the sickness from which he has been suffering. Mr. Theodore Rimpau has been authorized by County Clerk Potts to register voters. He can be found at the store of Goodman & Rimpau every day during business hours. Governor Perkins has respited Sprague of Ventura county, under sentence of death, on petition of Creed Haymond and W. A. Cheney, attorneys, who desire to present evidence to the Governor to warrant a pardon. The respite extends until the 27th inst. A number of corn stalks fifteen feet in height are at Leonard & Drown's meat market. The height of the corn is all the more remarkable from the fact that it was raised without irrigation. The public school re-opens on Monday, whereat the good little boy rejoiseth, but the bad little boy mourneth and refuseth to be comforted. A camp meeting under the auspices of the Santa Ana and Anaheim circuits is in progress two and one half miles west of Santa Ana. The steamer Mary Swan, eight days from Humboldt arrived at San Pedro during the week with 180,000 feet of lumber for A. Guy Smith & Co. She is now loading with grain at the Landing. The schooner Sparrow arrived yesterday at San Pedro with a load of fencing and during the coming week she will proceed to the Landing and take on a cargo of grain. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Ploneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 17, 1905 Anaheim is at present enjoying the greatest prosperity in many years. The city is increasing in population rapidly. People are coming in, buying lots, and preparing to stay. If this growth is to continue and the present prosperity to be made permanent there must be employment for those seeking employment and business for those commercially inclined. In short time there must be a solid base for our rapid growth if it is to last. What is needed is the establishment of industries that will furnish employment to those who locate here. But we can hardly expect that manufacturers will locate among us and remain unless we give them our patronage instead of extending it to Santa Ana or Los Angeles. If we would all set the example and use our influence in this direction it would be of incalculable benefit to Anaheim. Orders have been placed by the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad for $3000 refrigerator cars, and the Santa Fe has made preparations to increase its rolling stock by the addition of 1000 cars of the same pattern for the accommodation of the Southern California orange and lemon crops. In addition the Santa Fe has contracted for 6000 ordinary freight cars. The Southern Pacific is in the market for 1250 stock and 350 box cars. The retail dealers association have organized by adopting a code of by-laws and people having a private system of paying their bills had better stand from under. Nearly every merchant in town has joined the association and the list will be kept open until everyone has become a member. There is no good reason why retail dealers should be made the victims of designing persons, and we learn that a number have accounts upon their books which they would gladly part with at a discount. These easy-going characters, after "standing off" a local merchant to his police garage more of the time and "invite" lawbreakers to come to the station through summons rather than hauling them by force. This would be the policy of Anaheim if they put into effect a suggestion offered Clarence S. Morrill, chief of the state bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, by the California Taxpayers' Association. The plan would save the taxpayers' money by eliminating officers' time and equipment used in taking persons to jail, according to the Association, and this item is o considerable expense. It would also obtain the necessary objectives without subjecting citizens to the humiliation and inconvenience of physical arrest. A portion of the bail bond evils might be removed, the Association believes, by issuing summons instead of throwing malefactors in jail. "Strange indeed that we continue to rely on an enforcement procedure carved out of a rural and lawless society by our medieval forbearers, a procedure confronted at that time only with murder, rape, treason, robbery, and a few other offenses," declared the Association. "If a man in that disorganized era committed such crimes, of course it was necessary to take him into custody for trial. Does that mean if one forgets to obtain a license for a dog, or neglects to remove an unsanitary accumulation in his yard, or unappreciatively pluck a few flowers from the public park, that to obtain his presence in court to answer the charge, he must be taken physically into custody, conducted to a police station, registered, and thrown into a cell until ball can be brought?" RECCOMMEND NEW SYSTEM Suggested That Petty Lawbreakers be Invited to Appear and Answer Keep the "Black Maria" in the police garage more of the time and "invite" lawbreakers to come to the station through summons rather than hauling them by force.

There is no good reason why retail dealers should be made the victims of designing persons, and we learn that a number have accounts upon their books which they would gladly part with at a discount. These easy-going characters, after "standing off" a local merchant to his limit and being asked to walk up to the captain's office, become greatly offended, and immediately y transfer their previous patronage elsewhere. This practice will in future be impossible, for each member of the association finds himself to refuse credit to one who leaves an overdue account at another store. Anaheim has not been altogether free from this class of persons who are opposed on honor to paying their bills, and it is high time they be "bawled out" as one of the sufferers puts it. Walter Crowther is having Valencia Lates grafted on to Navels and sweets and many other growers are doing likewise. There is big money in Valencias and in a few years there will be no doubt a slump in prices, on account of the increased supply, but the growers are willing to take a chance on that score. However there is good money in other varieties of nice, clean fruit. The purple scale is causing growers some concern and many orchardists are using the spray while others fumigate. The black scale is also cropping out more than the growers wish to see. It behooves all to be ever up in arms against these pests and concerted action all along the line is absolutely necessary. The city trustees had a special session on Friday evening to consider plans for enlarging and improving the city lighting and water service. Two reports of Engineer Copeland were discussed in detail. The board decided to call an election to vote $50,000 bonds, and instructed City Attorney Melrose to prepare the necessary resolution of intention providing for the election. The date of the election has not yet been set but it will be in the near future. The two-story pavilion at Bay City was destroyed by fire one night last week. The structure was erected at a cost of $3000, the lower floor being devoted to bathrooms and the upper to dancing. It was fully insured. Another pavilion is now in course of erection at Anaheim Landing. Billy Brandenburg, Frank Arnold and George Carroll were among the throng at Newport on Sunday. While in bathing Arnold had a close call to joining the silent majority. He called for help and Brandenburg went to his assistance. He was none too soon as Frank was going under for the second time. A boat soon after reached them and the boys were brought ashore. Frank Eastman, carrier of Rural Route No. 1, states the postoffice department will shortly announce the issuance of an order requiring mail boxes along all routes to be painted green. Miss Alice Hatfield, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Hatfield of the West End was married on Tuesday to Wm. Stewart of sociation. “If a man in that disorganized era committed such crimes, of course it was necessary to take him into custody for trial.

The prevalence of physical arrests for violation of minor regulars is based upon practical requirements, but on a procedure developed at a time when criminal law related almost wholly to vicious acts.” The new hardware clerk prided himself on always having a snappy comeback. “Do you keep refrigerators?” the timid-looking woman inquired quietly. “No,” he snapped, “we sell them.” Anyway,” she said, as she strolled toward the door, “you’ll keep the one you were going to sell me.

George Dutton and John Bush went up the Santa Ana canyon in search of deer a day or two ago but failed to locate any game. J. W. Duckworth is circulating a petition for appointment as postmaster of Anaheim. Miss Jessie Boyd, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George, celebrated her sixth birthday on Saturday by inviting a number of her friends to be her guests at an afternoon party. Games were played and refreshments served and all present declared they had a perfectly lovely time. Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Bickford departed on Thursday for Pasadena where they will in future reside. Steve Cottliffe of the Derrick was married in Los Angeles on Wednesday to Miss Arcane Taylor, sister of the late Mrs. E. L. Enbanks.
