IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 11, 1880 J. W. Hinton, the county superintendent of schools was storm-stayed at Trabuca on last Friday so that it was impossible for him to be at his office in Los Angeles on Saturday as is his invariable custom. A grand masquerade ball will be given in Anaheim on the 22nd of February, 1881. Recent occurrences have shown the projectors the propriety of making the announcement in due time and of securing the hall a couple of months ahead. The rainfall of Friday night last in town amounted to .67 making the total for the season 1.60. At the foot of the mountains above Pasadena the rainfall of Friday was 3.34. At San Luis Obispo over five inches of rain fell during the storm. Members of the First Presbyterian church in Orange propose to have a supper in their new house of worship on next Tuesday, December 14th. This will be an enjoyable festivity and all are invited to participate. Supper at 7:30. Tickets at the door. The Riverside Press attributes the earthquake of Nov. 21st to our threat to shake the earth from center to circumference if the Republican County committee did not pay our little bill of $12. The Press is right as to the cause of the temblor. We did it. But the $12 hasn't been paid. Some scoundrel gratified his spite against Dr. Jones of Santa Ana by cutting with a knife about five hundred young orange trees in the Doctors orchard. It is not likely that any of the trees will survive the mutilation. The perpetrator of the outrage is unknown. Detective Harris of Los Angeles has received $500 from the state authorities as his share of the reward for the capture the Republican County committee did not pay our little bill of $12.

Detective Harris of Los Angeles has received $500 from the state authorities as his share of the reward for the capture of the murderer of T. Wallace More of Ventura. The special reward of $2000 offered by the brother of the murdered man has not been paid and is not likely to be. The recent rains have wet the ground so that the roadmaster can now profitably attend to putting the roads in good condition. Mr. H. L. Paty is now busily engaged in making needed repairs on the highways leading out of town, and the municipal authorities propose to give the streets an overhauling immediately. The stockholders of the Santiago Gold and Silver Mining company elected the following Board of Directors at a meeting held on Nov. 29th: T. J. F. Boege, P. Pillegrin, J. E. Pleasants, T. A. Darling, F. Langenberger. The Board organized by electing T. J. F. Boege, president, F. Langenberger, vice-president, T. A. Darling secretary and P. Pillegrin, treasurer. Messrs. Thompson & West have been delivering their Illustrated History of Los Angeles county to subscribers in this vicinity during the week. It is a handsomely printed and bound book and a hasty glance through the contents gives one the impression that as a history it will be found to possess great value. Accompanying the book is a map of Los Angeles county which is given gratuitously to subscribers. The vegetables in the gardens in the southern part of the city of Los Angeles have been destroyed by frost, and the peddlers refuse to sell the few hardy vegetables which withstood the cold because of the heavy license imposed upon them. If this thing keeps on it will result in the wholesale immigration to Anaheim of the Los Angeles folk for the purpose of getting a square meal. The Panama canal scheme of which M. de Lesseps is the projector is steadily working its way into public favor on both sides of the Atlantic. Subscriptions for the stick are now being taken in all the principal cities of Europe and the capitalists of New York are taking hold of the matter in earnest. Wm. Seligman, the New York banker, is reported as saying that when the subscription books close it will be found that the American people hold the largest amount of stock. It has been agreed by M. de Lesseps and his coadjutors that an American directorate and president shall be appointed so that after all the magnificent undertaking will be largely controlled by Americans. Vast political changes have taken place in the City of Los Angeles. Ten years ago it would have been considered an evidence of insanity in any one who ventured a prediction that the city or county would ever give a majority for the Republican ticket...

It has been agreed by M. de Lesseps and his coadjuters that an American directorate and president shall be appointed so that after all the magnificent undertaking will be largely controlled by Americans. Vast political changes have taken place in the City of Los Angeles. Ten years ago it would have been considered an evidence of insanity in any one who ventured a prediction that the city or county would ever give a majority for the Republican ticket. But at the presidential election last month the city gave a majority for the Republicans of 13 and the county a Republican majority of 61. And at the municipal election in Los Angeles on Monday last the Republicans elected their mayor (Toberman) by a majority of 124. They also elected H. T. Hazard city attorney, Horace Burdick tax collector and their two candidates for members of the board of education and all but two of the councilmen. The Democrats elected J. C. Kays treasurer by a majority of 8; R. Bildernain assessor by a majority of 166, and M. Teed and B. Chandler councilmen from the second and fourth wards respectively. The total vote cast was 1866, or 304 less than that cast at the presidential election. A furious storm swept over the Pacific coast on Friday of last week. Nearly every section was refreshed by copious showers of rain. About six o'clock in the evening a miniature cyclone waltzed into Anaheim and gave things a shaking up for a couple of minutes. The wind appeared to travel in streaks, and the vigorous way in which it treated all obstructions to its flight was a caution. It unroofed barns and sheds, shook houses like a full-grown earthquake, twisted the limbs from high trees, tore down piers and in fact did more hard work in two minutes than an ordinary gale would do in two weeks. A lighter was driven ashore at the Larding and damaged to the extent of about one hundred dollars. The greater part of flume No. 8 on the cajon ditch was blown down, the damage being estimated at from $250 to $500. There were the most serious pranks played by the wind and it is a question whether the deluge of rain which accompanied it did not compensate for all damages. The freaks of the storm in San Bernardino county were more serious at least in one instance. The residence of V. L. Mitchell in the northern part of the town of San Bernardino was lifted from its foundations by the squall and the lamp was overturned setting fire to the house which was totally destroyed. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 14, 1905 Mrs. Julius Schneider entertains the Miercoles club at her residence on Wednesday afternoon next. Mrs. H. D. Polhemus and son, Dean, of Los Angeles, visited in town this week, the guests of relatives. Arch Hollingsworth went to San Diego on Tuesday to take a position upon the art staff of the Union. Frank Eastman crosses the electric railway eight times on his route of rural free delivery west of town. Henry Adams reports the loss of a prize Plymonth Rock rooster and hen from his barnyard some evenings ago. Don David Yorba was in from up the river. He is milking 25 cows and delivering the milk to the Yorba creamery. Pat Seale is recovering from an attack of inflammation of the stomach contracted while on a hunting trip to Lake Elsinore. The engagement is announced of Eddie Boege of this city and Miss Myrtle Lovering of Orangethorpe avenue. The wedding will occur early in the new year. Homer Clever and Miss Stella Lovering, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. V. B. Lovering of Orangethorpe were married on Tuesday at the home of the bride. The Nasonic Lodge on Monday evening elected the following officers to serve during the ensuing year: P. H. Krick, master; George E. Boyd, senior warden; C. E. Holcomb, junior warden, I. Asher, treasurer; Joseph Helmsen, treasurer. Engineer Kellogg departed some days ago for Honolulu in Special to Anaheim Gazette Washington, D. C.,—Official Washington ton again prepares to send out the sea son's greetings from the nation's capitals but there is one man who cannot afford to send Christmas cards even to his intimate friends. The man denied this pleasant holiday privilege in Herbert Hoover. The reason no one is going to receive a card from the famous residence on Pennsylvania Avenue is obvious. I President and Mrs. Hoover began to send out cards there is no telling where it might stop. It would take a busy squad of secretaries to address greetings even to the thousands of high party officials and leaders over the United States. The president might begin with the supreme court, but where he would end would be difficult to say. If it became known that Christmas cards would issue from the White House it is certain that every member of congress would have an extensive list of friends he wished to be favored. Before all requests were gratified President Hoover would undoubtedly be called upon to send out millions of cards. The expense of course would be enormous and it would probably take the White House secretariat many weeks to fill a small part of the demands. Although it sends no cards, the White House receives probably the largest and most interesting collection of greetings in the world. From all parts of the inhabited globe, messages of good cheer pour into the executive offices for many days before and after December 25. Days are required to open all of the cards and arrange them for President Hoover's inspection. Some of the greetings which the president and his wife receive on December 25 will be elaborate and expensive, perhaps hand-painted, costing several dollars. Others will be plain, simple, from some tiny place in a far- Homer Clever and Miss Stella Lovering, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. V. B.

Engineer Kellogg departed some days ago for Honolulu in response to a telegram summoning him thither. He will return the latter part of January, when it is announced the construction of the Yorba reservoir will be taken up by the water company and pushed to speedy completion. The Huntington electric railway between Santa Ana and Los Angeles is said to be doing a business of $800 daily. The volume of travel exceeds all calculations hitherto made by the company, and extra cars are in constant demand. A new schedule is being arranged. F. A. Hartman of Los Angeles this week let the contract for the erection of a $9000 mansoleum at the Anaheim cemetery. The structure will be of marble and granite, 14 by 14 feet, 12 feet in height and will be one of the most expensive in Southern California outside of Los Angeles. J. B. McFarland of this city secured the contract for the brick and cement work. The preliminary debate to select two representatives to meet a like number from the Hollywood high school in this city on January 12th in joint debate, at the high school building on Thursday evening, resulted in the selection of Fayette Lewis and Mary Grim. There were six contestants. Subject for debate: "Resolved, That the Immigration of the Laboring Classes to the United States Should be Forbidden." Anaheim has the affirmative side. Madame Modjeska has sold her mountain home at Arden, in the Santiago canyon a tract comprising 12,000 acres to Leopold Moss of Chicago, the purchase price being $30,000. Dr. Bullard of Los Angeles made the deal. Mr. Moss is said to have in contemplation the establishment of a sanitarium upon the tract. Madame Modjeska is now in the east on her theatrical tour. She will return the latter part of the month. She will probably take up her residence in Los Angeles. Johnny Pfeninger was in town from Fullerton the fore part of the week. He looks for the early construction of the electric railway, two surveys having some time ago been run through his ranch between this city and Fullerton. One line runs through digonally, the other darting along the east side. Johnny used to be a conductor on one of the Angel city electric cars, but gave up his position to go into the culture of olives, at which he is rolling up barrels of money. Superior Judge West has confirmed the sale of 14,000 acres belonging to the estate of the late Marcus A. Forster, the purchaser being Wm. Graves of New York, and the consideration $198,000. The property is a part of the San Juan Capistrano ranch and is nearly all pasture land. Through it seems no cards, the White House receives probably the largest and most interesting collection of greetings in the world. From all parts of the inhabited globe, messages of good cheer pour into the executive offices for many days before and after December 25. Days are required to open all of the cards and arrange them for President Hoover's inspection. Some of the greetings which the president and his wife receive on December 25 will be elaborate and expensive, perhaps hand-painted, costing several dollars. Others will be plain, simple, from some tiny place in a far-distant slate. All of them are handled with equal respect by the White House secretariat. Two years ago, before they entered the White House, President and Mrs. Hoover sent to their close friends a small card on which was engraved in red script the names—"Herbert Hoover and Lou Henry." The card also bore the names of the two sons and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, Jr., and the two Hoover grandchildren. It was neat and tasteful. Needless to say those on the Hoover list at the time now prize those little cards very highly. The joyous privilege of designing another such card was denied the Hoovers last year and will be this year. The White House does, however, respond to those who send Christmas cards to the president. Shortly after Christmas a reply card, stating simply "thank you for the Christmas greetings," is mailed to the senders. Probably more Christmas cards are handled through the House Office building postoffice than through any similar postal unit in the United States. The postmaster in the building is unable to make an estimate of the number of cards he is handling. The total runs into millions. Last year during the few days preceding Christmas an average of fifteen sacks an hour were handled by the House building post employees, who were kept busy until ten o'clock at night with incoming and outgoing mail. Christmas cards for senators and representatives are purchased through the stationery rooms of the Capitol. It was estimated last year that approximately 150,000 cards were obtained through the House document room alone. The cards cost from ½ cents to eleven cents, the average being about three cents a card. Rep. Robert L. Bacon, of New York, has probably the largest mailing list of any congressman. Last year he sent out more than 25,000 Christmas cards. Many representatives exceeded the 10,000 mark. Probably the most elaborate card Superior Judge West has confirmed the sale of 14,000 acres belonging to the estate of the late Marcus A. Forster, the purchaser being Wm. Graves of New York, and the consideration $198,000. The property is a part of the San Juan Capistrano ranch and is nearly all pasture land. It was settled on by the father of Mr. Foster about seventy-five years ago. It has six miles of ocean frontage, and there are eight miles of the Santa Fe's San Diego line running through it. It is stated as the intention of the purchaser to subdivide 4000 acres into small acreage tracts and to keep the rest intact. The directors of the Chamber of Commerce met in regular session Thursday evening. Present Messrs. Michod, Ahlborn, Wallop, Miller and Adams. The second annual banquet of the season is to be given on Friday evening, Jan. 26, and promises to be a swell affair. An interesting program is to be provided. The new board of directors will be chosen and already members are casting longing eyes toward the coveted positions. The city band will be in attendance and the invitations will be sent out shortly. Tickets, $1 per plate may be purchased at Wallop Bros. Mine host Zeigler will be the caterer and the banquet will be held in the Odd Fellow hall. Jacob Stern has sold 900 acres of unimproved land in Block 1 of the Kraemer tract to the Golden State Realty company of Los Angeles at $100 per acre, aggregating $90,000 for the transfer. The deal was negotiated by Sandilands & Co., realty brokers of this city and is among the largest reported this year in the county. The land lies northeast of this city, between here and Placentia. The land is being surveyed,, cleared and leveled and will be placed upon the market in ten, twenty and forty acre lots. Several settlers have already demonstrated the fertility of the land. Sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, tomatoes and berries do well and one man who purchased 65 acres made enough off of these crops to pay for his land. a $2000 pumping plant and leave him a comfortable sum in the bank. The tract has been uncultivated until recently. Its subdivision will bring a large number of new people into this section and add to the prosperity and expansion of this city. When Food Sours About two hours after eating many people suffer from sour stomachs. They call it indigestion. It means that the stomach nerves have been over-stimulated. There is excess acid. The way to correct it is with an alkali, which neutralizes many times its volume in acid. The right way is Phillips' Milk of Magnesia—just a tasteless dose in water. It is pleasant, efficient and harmless. Results come almost instantly. It is the approved method. You will never use another when you know. Be sure to get the genuine Phillips Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for correcting excess acids. 25c and 50c a bottle—any drugstore. "Milk of Magnesia" has been the U.S. Registered Trade Mark of the Charles H. Phillips Chemical Company and its predecessor Charles H. Phillips since 1875. from the capitol during recent years has been sent out by Edmund F. Erk secretary to former Rep. Stephen G. Porter of Pennsylvania. Each year Mr. Erk has sent out a card which is really a beautiful engraved booklet. He has made a careful study of some phase of governmental life or history and reproduced its spirit in his Christmas greetings. Two years ago Erk's card contained a reproduction of the fundamental documents of our government. Last year he emphasized the friendly treaties the United States has made with other countries to point out progress in attaining peace on earth and good will toward men. This Christmas Mr. Erk will sit as a member of Congress, having been elected to office after the lamented death of Rep. Porter. He will probably be high among those members who use Christmas cards to express affection and appreciation to their constituents. Heavy Fines Inflicted On Game Violators The state continued an unabated drive during November against law violators, according to the department of natural resources, with a total of 266 arrests and fines amounting to $7,840. Several heavy fines were paid by individuals, including $600 levied against two men for a lobster violation; $375 for three men with an overlimit of pismo claims; $200 for dynamiting fish; several $150 fines against individuals for killing spike bucks and deer in game refuges; and a number of $150 fines for overlimit of deer.
