IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of an Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 4, 1880 Hon. Wallace Leach, Esq., Democratic candidate for Congress, and Hon. R. F. Del Valle, Democratic candidate for the assembly will address their fellow citizens on the political issues of the day at Kroeger's Hall Monday evening next at 8 o'clock. We are told that Stephen M. White, Esq., is booked for a speech at Anaheim in the near future. When he does come we advise all the critical ones to go and listen as Mr. White combines in his addresses all the graces of oratory and good sound arguments. On account of the doubt arising respecting the eligibility of Claus Spreckels to be a Presidential Elector, because of his having received a decoration from the King of the Sandwich islands, Spreckels has withdrawn from the candidacy. The vacancy has not yet been filled. English, the Democratic candidate for vice president, has contributed $100,000 for campaign purposes. This is said to be the largest contribution ever made by any candidate if we except the Tilden bar'l. The most prominent candidates for the Democratic nomination for supervisor in this district are W. W. Switzer, C. S. Levy, Col. Sanford and W. F. Cooper, all of the Los Nietos region. But there are three or four dark horses in the background. W. W. Cole's great New York and New Orleans circus managerie and congress of living wonders will soon make its appearance on the Pacific slope with more astounding attractions than any four tent exhibition that ever visited this part of the world. Instead of eighteen ordinary cars which brought this show to California in 1873 it uses thirty-six of its own ponderously-built cars. It uses the recently perfected electric light to illuminate its millions of yards of canvas and every recent improvement in its line has been used. A $50,000 troupe of trick stallions is one of the novelties. A performing Spanish bull is also introduced W. W. Cole's great New York and New Orleans circus menagerie and congress of living wonders will soon make its appearance on the Pacific slope with more astounding attractions than any four tent exhibition that ever visited this part of the world. Instead of eighteen ordinary cars which brought this show to California in 1873 it uses thirty-six of its own ponderously-built cars. It uses the recently perfected electric light to illuminate its millions of yards of canvas and every recent improvement in its line has been used. A $50,000 troupe of trick stallions is one of the novelties. A performing Spanish bull is also introduced in the arena. Not less than one hundred famous artists vie with each other for public honors. One of the most thrilling sensations is a troupe of aerial bicycle riders. Mr. Frank A. Gardner, the world's undisputed champion leaper and bounding jockey will perform. In the menagerie will be found the largest and best collection of rare animals ever transported by any organization. They will exhibit in Anaheim on Monday, September the 13th, 1880. Letters have been received at the sanitarium from Dr. Fergusson who is still detained in London on business connected with his late father's estate. The doctor wishes to offer his best thanks for the continued kind inquires for his welfare by his many patients and friends and desires it to be known that he will be in Anaheim among them in a few weeks (D. V.). County Clerk Potts has received official notice from the State Board of Equalization that that body proposes to raise the assessment on all property in Los Angeles county exclusive of improvements thereon, and town and city lots, ten per cent. Hearings on appeal will be granted at Sacramento, from the date of publication of the order to and including the 20th of September from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It appears that the State Board have been unable to resist the pressure brought to bear upon them to increase the assessment list of this county although they at one time professed to be satisfied with the valuations. Wm. Newton, the representative of Mr. J. Yoch, one of the owners of the Black Star Coal mine has taken some men up to the mine and have gone to work to put it in shape. Mr. Newton is an expert miner from the coal fields of Pennsylvania and will develop the mine systematically and thoroughly. A great many of our vineyardists are preparing for the anticipated abundant harvest by extending their wine sheds and laying in a large supply of pipes and tanks. Our local cooper, Mr.C. Wille, is the busiest man in town. The capacity of his shop has been taxed to the utmost for the past month or two. Mr. A. Langenberger is prepared to supply the new text books required in the public schools. They are much cheaper than the books formerly in use, and are superior in binding printing and contents. Mr. Hardwicke Browning won the swimming race for men at the Landing on Sunday. Master Higgins won the boys race and he was likewise the victor in a second race for a special premium.

Mr. Hardwicke Browning won the swimming race for men at the Landing on Sunday. Master Higgins won the boys race and he was likewise the victor in a second race for a special premium. The South Santa Monica wharf has been completed. It is 1,010 feet in length, twenty feet in width and extends into twenty-four feet depth of water. There are three thousand sacks of grain at the wharf awaiting shipment. Mr. Menzel, who is a practical baker says, that he has experimented with Odessa wheat flour and finds that in order to obtain the best results it should be worked more thoroughly than the common flour. With care in this respect excellent bread can be made from it. An Iowa paper says that Mrs. Hildreth of Des Moines, committed suicide because her husband wouldn't take her to the circus. As the greatest show on earth will be here soon, the publication of this item may perhaps avert some domestic calamities. Little George Yocum had three of his fingers quite badly hurt on Sunday last at the Landing. The boat in which he was sitting came in collision with another one and his hand was caught between them. The Alden Dryer at Los Angeles was shut down on Wednesday owning to the failure of the volume of peaches required to keep it in full operation. The works will be started up on apples next week. A party of about thirty young folks "surprised" Miss Dora Zeyn on Thursday evening, and the result was that the Zeyn mansion was a scene of gayety until far into the night. The affair was one of the social successes of the season. The beet sugarie at Compton did not start up on Monday as anticipated, owning to some trifling defect in the machinery. The trouble will be remedied in a few days. Mr. T. D. Cutter, formerly of Westminster, has located at San Carlos Indian agency A. T. to which point he wishes the Gazette sent to him. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 7, 1905 Walnut buyers are offering 12 cents per pound for nuts irrespective of grades and offer to take the entire yield at that figure. The association price has not yet been fixed, but walnut men say that 12½ or 13 cents will probably be the figures for firstclass soft shells. Foreign nuts are two or three weeks late, which will keep them out of the Christmas market. All indications point to a prosperous winter for the walnut men, although the crop is a fraction short o fthe normal output. It beats the anti-association period when prices descended to 6 cents and you had to chase the nimble-footed middleman or he would get away from you. Now he comes to your door, takes off his hat when he sees you and offers you 12 cents. And you refuse it. The walnut trust is all right. The cannery had a run on tomatoes yesterday putting up 10,000 cans. The season has not fairly opened, and only a days run per week has resulted. With continued warm weather Manager Boyd believes he will be able to get started in earnest in two weeks but looks for only one day's run next week. He expects to put from 12,000 to 15,000 cans per day when the season opens. The Home telephone company and its long distance connection, the United States long distance telephone and telegraph company are engaged in extensive additions to their wire mileage in this county. This week will see the completion of the new line connecting Riverside with Los Angeles by way of Fullerton. The line runs through Corona and down the Santa Ana canyon, affording long distance connections to smaller places en route. A gang of men commenced work this week on the line from Santa Ana to San Diego. Poles and wires for the line are now at various points along the route. It is stated that the San Diego branch will be in operation within six weeks. In addition to the crew at work on this end of the line, another is starting from San Diego pushing this way. St. Michael's Episcopal church will give a musical and social at the residence of Mrs. Jos. Hatfield on Tuesday evening next. Christopher's ice cream and other refreshments will be served. Will Welcome President Two Guns White Calif., son of the last recognized chief of the Blackfeet Indians, who will welcome President Hoover to Glacier National Park.

Mr. Ey has just returned after a year's absence in Germany and states he never knew he had so many friends in all sections of the county. Assessor Vegely says there is nothing doing in politics at the county seat. John Hanna of Miraflores informs us that he, last week, refused 12 cents per pound for his nut crop, taking the run of the orchard made by an independent buyer, Mr. Hanna's trees are laden with the best crop of nuts ever borne by them and he entertains a notion that he will receive 13 cents for them or better. Ed Atherton was in town from the Ostrich farm on Monday. He states there are only six birds upon the farm, the others having been shipped to the Arizona farm. The birds have not done well for some years, being affected with worms in the stomach which is fatal to them.

Half-Million Books In State Library California's State Library, which has just celebrated its 30th birthday, has grown in that time from a handful of law books to nearly a half million volumes. Founded by byle Governor Pet H. Burnett in 1850 when the gold rush days were just getting under way the library had as its nucleus a collection of law books donated Governor Burnett and 100 volumes donated by John Fremont covering such subjects as law, medicine, travel and government documents.

STATE BAR HAS SPAT WITH BANKS Lawyers Contend Banks and Trust Companies Try to Do Its Work Settlement of a dispute of long standing between the California State Bar and banks, trust and title companies of the state, is on the horizon. The argument centers around the question of what constitutes unlawful practice of law. The Bar contends that the legal field has been unlawfully entered by this other group. A committee appointed by the Bar has completed its report and will submit findings to the Bar annual meeting in Pasadena in September. If adopted it will definitely commit the Bar to battle for what it considers its rights. Just how willing the banks and trust companies are to concede these "rights" is a question. Judging from present predictions the bar may have to go to court for a settlement. Drawing up of wills and trust services are the two main points of difference. The lawyers contend that only members of the bar con perform such services. The committee found that wills are drawn in many cases by employees of banks and trust companies, and by retained counsel or by independent attorneys who make no charge to the testator, but who expect to be compensated by being employed to probate the will. In some instances, the report said, there is a tendency on the part of institutions "to procure the preparation and execution of wills without affording the person making the will a free and untrammeled opportunity to consult with an attorney." Under such circumstances, the report continued, there being no one who owes undivided allegiance to the person making the will, or whose duty it is to represent and advise him only, the opportunity is present for the will to be drawn in the interest of the bank and trust company, executor and trustee, rather than in the interest of those making the will, or objects of their "Squirrel Whiskey" Sends Adict Aloft After drinking "squirrel whiskey," Leon Capp, of Alameda, climbed the scaffolding of a Whoopee roller coaster, refused to come down, threw a flash at police.
