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 DECEMBER 4, 1880 Geo. H. Bold, a former resident of Anaheim died recently at Lemars, Iowa, from the effects of injuries received by being run over by a wagon. The Rev. Wm. H. Hill of Los Angeles will assist in the services at St. Michael's church and administer the Holy Communion tomorrow morning. L. J. Rose has mortgaged his Sunny Slope property in San Gabriel to Henry Rosener of San Francisco for $90,000, interest 6 per cent per annum. The claim that the climate of this country is gradually changing receives support from the fact that ice half an inch thick formed at Yuma, A. T., one night last week. It can no longer compete with the nameless place. A tomato ranch on the Cahuenga foothills comprises twenty acres. As no frost is felt in that particular locality the owner markets ripe tomatoes every month in the year, shipping them to San Francisco. He expects to get at least ten cents per pound this winter. Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Co. have received orders for boxes enough to pack twenty tons of raisins. Most of the orders come from Orange, which locality will market a very superior quality of raisins this year. Mr. J. Cullen has purchased vineyard lots A 1 and B 1 and will arrive here in a few days with his family and take up his residence thereon. Mr. Cullen has been the San Francisco agent of the Rothschilds for many years and close confinement in his banking house has injured his health to such an extent as to make it imperative for him to take up his residence here. 25 Y A.

Since our last report and up until 6 a.m. yesterday the rainfall has been .29, making a total since August 18th (on which date the first rain of the season fell) of .93. The still lowering clouds give every evidence of a heavy rain ere they disperse. The alfalfa and colver have already started on hillside and plain and in a week or two the country will be covered with verdue. The Supreme Court having decided that the ordinance passed by the Los Angeles Common Council, levying a tax upon Chinese vegetable peddlers is constitutional, the authorities are endeavoring to enforce the collection of the license. The only result so far is that the Chinese have stopped peddling vegetables and will probably starve the citizens of our neighboring city until the obnoxious ordinance is repealed. F. P. Ramirez, late Republican candidate for the Assembly, was arrested by the sheriff on Wednesday on the charge of being an accessory before the fact of the altering of the certificate of deposit on which Hidales obtained $2,000 from the county bank three weeks ago. Ramirez gain bail in $1000 for his appearance for examination. Mr. George Irvine of the San Joaquin rancho paid us a visit on Saturday, much of the wheat land which Mr. Irvine advertised in the Gazette has been rented but there are yet some choice tracts to be had. It is probable that more of the rancho will be put under cultivation this year than ever before. The steamship Origaba, drawing thirteen feet of water, steamed safely over the bar at Wilmington on her last trip and made fast to the steamship company's wharf. This fact indicates that the harbor is steadily improving, and the appropriations made by congress for building the breakwater and dredging the harbor have been very judiciously expended. A man named Wm. McKenna was arrested in Los Angeles for obtaining money under false pretences. He represented himself as a member of the order of Christian Brothers and his mission to the collection of money for the San Raphael Orphan Asylum, but it was proved that he was an imposter. He got thirty days in the chain gang. "The girls" will give a Leap Year Ball at Kroeger's hall on New Years eve, December 31st. "The boys" intended to give a party that evening, but were outgeneraled by their fair opponents, who received the hall while the others were thinking about it. The success of the last Leap Year Party is evidence that the coming one will not be less enjoyable because the lords of creation will have nothing to do with the management of it.

The alarming spread of orchard pests in the northern part of the state will likely result in some legislation on the subject. It is understood that a bill will be submitted at the meeting of the legislature next month compelling owners of orchards to exercise due vigilance in keeping their orchards free from scale bugs and other injurious insects. It is held that the pests can be stamped out by concerted action, but the negligence or indolence of one fruit grower, in failing to apply remedial measures, would nullify the attempts of his neighbors, as his orchard would be the breeding ground for the pests, which would speedily find their way into the surrounding country. For the better protection of citrus trees from the attacks of gophers and rabbits, it has become the custom in the vicinity of Anaheim to daub the bark of the trees near the ground with coal tar, the odor of which is effective in keeping the rodents from gnawing the tree. But the remedy, while it wards off one danger invites others. Prof. Dwinelle of the State University says the use of coal tar is to be deprecated, because it burns the bark, has a tendency to produce sunburn and makes the tree unhealthly generally. Coal tar water, however, may be used advantageously and is as effective as the tar. The same authority recommends the destruction of acacia trees in orchards as they are the nurseries of noxious insects. The residence of E. A. Saxton had a very narrow escape from distraction by fire on last Wednesday evening. While part of the family were attending prayer meeting in town, a small lamp, which had been left burning in the dining room, exploded and set fire to the paneling about the fire-place. The noise of the explosion alarmed Mr. S. B. Smith, who was in the upper part of the house and on his going to the dining room he found it one sheet of flames. With the assistance of neighbors the fire was put out but not until the woodwork in the room was deeply charred. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 7, 1905 A. Nagle is displaying a fine assortment of imported crockery and glassware. See his advertisement in another column. Wallop Bros. Store sustained damages to the extent of several hundred dollars by the bursting of a pipe overhead the night of the Ahlborn fire. Hans Weisel accompanied by his sisters, Misses Hattie and Gretchen Weisel spent Sunday in Santiago canyon, making the trip in their automobile. Bobby Mills was in town this week from Los Angeles. Bobby is French chef at a fashionable restaurant and says business is picking up since the races started. W. A. Wallace has sold his forty acre ranch located one mile west of this city to Charles and John Eells, in consideration of $6000. A part of the fract is set to grapes the remainder is to be planted to oranges and walnuts. The Marcos Forster rancho at San Juan Capistrano, containing 15,000 acres is reported sold to a Los Angeles syndicate the price being $500,000. Miss Pauline Nemetz and Miss Marie Nicolas and Pete Nicolas and Herman Stern formed a Los Angeles theatre party one evening last week. Druggist Mullinix is installing a series of new showcases in his drugstore and the establishment's interior is being repainted. Mullinix's motto is pure drugs, and nothing too good for this burg. He reports trade good. The Way of Life By BRUCE BARTON GOOD MORNING DOCTOR One day when I was working at my first job and was—needless to say—hard up, I developed a severe pain. A stranger in New York, I had read in the newspapers the name of a diagnostician who was internationally famous. I went to his office, which was in his beautiful home, at eight o'clock in the morning. The waiting room was already full. There was a rich man whougged impatiently at his watch. There was a haughty woman. And there were also half a dozen shabby dressed folk, including a poor mother with a very sick baby. Without favoritism, each was ushered into the consultation room in the order of his arrival. Presently my turn came. I said to the doctor: "I can not afford to consult you, but my health is my entire business capital. Therefore, I feel that I simply must come to headquarters." He gave me a careful examination, wrote a prescription, and told me that I would be all right again in a few days. I pulled out my pocket book, which contained two weeks' salary. "How much are you earning?" he asked. "Well, if you'll promise not to tell anybody," he answered, "I'll charge you live dollars." In the intervening year I have become the father of three children, and my salary has been raised a couple of times. I have had occasion to employ several physicians and three different surgeons. Some of the bills have amounted to hundreds of dollars. But I have never received a bill that seemed to me unreasonable or even adequate, considering the importance of the services rendered. I have known several doctors who married rich wives, and some who made money in real estate or the stock market. I have met a number who gained modest fortunes from their practise, but none who became really rich. And the amount of free work done by even the biggest men in the profession has always been a marvel to me. Miss Pauline Nemetz and Miss Marie Nicolas and Pete Nicolas and Herman Stern formed a Los Angeles theatre party one evening last week. Druggist Mullinix is installing a series of new showcases in his drugstore and the establishment's interior is being repainted. Mullinix's motto is pure drugs, and nothing too good for this burg. He reports trade good. H. F. Kealiher is shipping large quantities of chili to Los Angeles, prices being 11 and 12 cents per pound, at which the industry affords excellent profit. The crop is good and quality firstclass. Peter Weisel Sr., contemplates leaving about the 20th for a business and pleasure trip to Germany. He goes by way of Galveston to Bremen, and will be absent several months. R. H. Gilman, the Placentia orchardist leaves for Petaluma this week to attend the annual meeting of directors of the Placentio Fruit company. The biggest pile of walnuts observed this season may be seen at Boyd & Weisel's warehouse. It comprises several carloads dumped upon the floor. The nut market has taken a slump in prices and growers with crops in hand have been scampering to get in out of the wet. Ernest Newbauer bought a twenty acre tract west of town a few weeks ago for $2000, paying $200 to bind he bargain. This week he sold the property for $2800. The residence of Fred Ahlborn on Adele street was almost entirely destroyed by fire on Thursday evening. An insurance of $1000 was carried upon the house and $500 upon the furniture. The building was valued at $2000. The loss was adjusted by the insurance company the next day, $800 being paid. The residence will be rebuilt. M. R. Scribner has been appointed carrier of rural free delivery to succeed Harry Blackfan, resigned. Mr. Scribner's appointment takes effect Dec. 16. C. H. Thayer has been appointed substitute. There were four applicants for the position of carrier. Each scored high in the civil service examination, the successful candidate scoring 97.75 per cent and C. L. Green 97.25. Henry Albrecht has purchased the old frame building belonging to Mayor Rust next the Chamber of Commerce building on Los Angeles street and is taking it down. It will be replaced by a substantial brick block, work upon which will begin in the near future. Contractor Bony promises to have the new Hart building ready for occupancy by Christmas. W. A. Wallace will occupy the building as a grocery. T. S. Rogers, whose friends are legion, having long been head clerk at Dickel's, will have charge of the store. Mr. Rogers says he will have the nearest grocery store or the coast. A friend of mine who is still under thirty-five has made a fortune, and I asked him how he did it. "I've been to your office several times," I said, "but you seem seldom to be there." "No, I don't go to the office every day," he answered. "A good deal of the time I just sit and look out the window and think." "When I make a decision I go out and put it into effect, and a little more than half the time I have had the good luck to be right. When I find I have made a mistake, I sit down and say: 'Now what did I do wrong? Were my facts inaccurate, or did I draw bad conclusions?' How am I going to avoid that same mistake again? I knew another man who owned a small but profitable business. He was methodical in his habits. On a certain day each month he stayed away from the office, and everybody in his employ knew that the old man was "thinking." From breakfast time until sun-down on such a day he would sit before an open fire or on an open porch, without pen or pencil or paper, or records or reports, and quietly think. He attributed his modest success to this unvarying habit. Henry Ford remarked to me once Contractor Bony promises to have the new Hart building ready for occupancy by Christmas. W. A. Wallace will occupy the building as a grocery. T. S. Rogers, whose friends are legion, having long been head clerk at Dickel's, will have charge of the store. Mr. Rogers says he will have the nearest grocery store or the coast. The new bridge over the sandwash on the road between this city and Placentia is a great improvement and much appreciated by travellers who have occasion to use that thoroughfare. The road leading to it has been graded and oiled and supervisor Linebarger informs us that Placentia avenue will be graded and oiled soon. Good roads are of great benefit to a community and it is hoped the good work will be continued throughout the valley. The Y. P. S. C. E. of the Presbyterian church gave a very successful social at the home of Miss Ella Rea on Friday evening, Dec. 1st. The program was as follows: Instrumental solo—Miss Alice Grimshaw. Vocal solo—Miscs Edith Wallop. Reading—Miss Elsie Aubert. Instrumental solo—Miss Lois Duckworth. Recitation—Harold Pelegrin. Vocal solo—Miss Theresa Fay. Recitation—Miss Bernice Tipton. Vocal solo—Rev. F. W. Mitchell. Progressive games were then played at which Mr. Wicket and Miss Edith Wallop won prizes. Light refreshments were served. A most enjoyable evening was spent. There were forty-five in attendance. The water board of its meeting on Saturday made the stockholders of the company the usual holiday present of an assessment, the amount being $2. The president and secretary were authorized to borrow on the company's note what money may be needed to meet the present demands. Hale reported having arranged a meeting with Engineer Kellogg at the Yorba reservoir site to consider the construction of a night reservoir for Anaheim but owing to Mr. Kellogg having been called to Honolulu the arrangement was not carried out. Moved by Hale that the secretary be and he is hereby authorized to tender to the Western gas engine company the sum of $448.32 in full payment of all claims of said company against the A.U.W. company and if said Gas company accepts said tender the president and secretary are authorized to draw a warrant for said amount and deliver same to said company. The motion was seconded by Bradford and duly adopted. Excess acid is the common cause of indigestion. It results in pain and sourness about two hours after eating. The quick corrective is an alkali which neutralizes acid. The best corrective is Phillips Milk of Magnolia. It has remained standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of Phillips Milk of Magnolia neutralizes instantly many times its volume in acid. Harmless, and tasteless, and yet its action is quick. You will never rely on crude methods, once you learn how quickly this method acts. Be sure to get the genuine, "Milk of Magnolia" has been the U.S. Registered Trade Mark of the Charles H. Phillips Chemical Company and its predecessor Charles H., Philipse since 1926. Anaheim, Calif., Nov. 27, 1930 Way of Life BUCE BARTON WARNING DOCTOR I was working at my bus—needless to say—hoped a severe pain. New York, I had read the name of a diag-ras internationally fami-lis office, which was in time, at eight o'clock in the waiting room was there was a rich man patiently at his watch, caughty woman. And half a dozen shabbily including a poor mother baby. Utism, each was usher-saluation room in the rival. Return came. Doctor: "I can not you, but my health is less capital. Therefore, only must come to head—a careful examination, tion, and told me that night again in a few my pocket book, which becks's salary. Are you earning?" he promise not to tell powered, "I'll charge you that "thinking is the hardest job there is," and added that he could get plenty of doers but not enough thinkers." Most of us know from our own limited experience that thinking is hard, and we have insulated ourselves against it by a restless and noisy environment. We are afraid to be found in a small audience, terribly afraid to be alone. Our willingness to take trips, or to retire, is not decided so much by loyalty to the job as it is by the haunting fear that removed from the protecting clatter of daily activity, we shall have "too much time to think." Emerson tells the story of "a man who on his death-bed called to him his profligate son and left him large possessions, only exacting of him the promise to spend an hour every day alone. The son kept his word and became a wise and good man." In another passage Emerson remarks that "the gods and the wild beasts are both fond of solitude; thought makes the difference between the solitude of the god*and that of the lion." Solitude and thought are responsible for the considerable fortune of the young friend whom I quoted at the beginning. I pass on his recipe free to all. I have not been able to apply it myself. —having been too busy. WOODPECKERS MADE TROUBLE Woodpeckers caused a neighborhood panic at Palo Alto the other day. They peeked at the insulation on electric wires, caused a short circuit, set fire to a pole, put the night school in darkness and shut off the school furnace. CRIME DOESN'T PAY A large horned owl sweeted down upon a woodpecker, killed it and rose with its dead prey in its talons near city. As the owl slow upward it approached wire and broke its neck, causing sound spectators, that owl doesn't pay. Now helps the other fellow to like wise.
