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 the Board of Town Trustees met in regular session on Wednesday. The committee on ordinances introduced an ordinance amending section No. 1 of Ordinance No. 2 changing the place of meeting from the Town Hall to the parlors of the Bank of Anaheim. The place of meeting heretofore used is a badly ventilated and ill-smelling apartment, hence the unanimous desire for a change. The committee on public improvements reported they had given permission to L. F. Lewis to erect hay scales on Los Angeles street opposite his stable. Petition of T. J. F. Boege for removal of the bridge on Center street to the point from where it was removed some months ago. Petitioner was granted permit to remove said bridge, the town agreeing to pay him $10 for his services. Petition of D. J. Sorenson for aid to construct a culvert on West street. It was agreed to allow petitioner $7, the estimated cost of one half the lumber, he to do the work and furnish the other half of the lumber without cost to the town. Petition of property owners on Broadway asking that the ditch which is now in the Center of the street and running parallel with it be removed to the north side of the said street. Referred to a special committee consisting of Messrs. Korn, Dreyfus and Miles. Petition of tax-payers asking that the Board pay R. Bohn a small monthly allowance for his services as night-watchman, which, in addition to the sums contributed by individuals, would be reasonable compensation for his services. Moved and carried that Bohn be allowed $10 for the month of March, and the committee on ordinances was instructed to ascertain whether the Board has authority to levy a special tax upon the property in that part of town patrolled by the watchman, so that those whose property was thus protected would be made to pay the watchman for his services. The tramp law introduced at a previous meeting was adopted. The clerk was instructed to advertise the election proclamation at the proper time. M. L. Goodmas was appointed inspector and Leopold Cohn and E. M. Ferguson judges. MARCH 5, 1881 The municipality and promises to city. Several cities some of them h Wm. Schwou Louie Kroeger w W. H.

It is referred to in the reports of the proceedings of the house as 'House bill No. 78, relating to a premium on the scalps of Indians and skunks.' It is entitled, "An act for the destruction of Indians and skunks," and its principal feature is the offering of a bounty of $25 each for the scalps of either Indians or skunks. The bill has been reported favorably by the special committee. The Los Angeles Herald says that the telephone has had a fair start in Los Angeles, and the twenty stations already established will doubtless soon be largely increased. Report of Olive District school for the month ending February 25, 1881—Total enrollment 41; Average daily attendance 33; The following pupils have been neither absent nor tardy and have received not less than 90 per cent in deportment and recitations: Anne Hildreth, Vinnie Squires, Julia Fletcher, Ida Murphy, Rosie Murphy, Lilly Bodkin, Minnie Watson, Bennie Fletcher, Louis Watson, Nealy Watson, Ada Fletcher, —John J. Bodkin, teacher. The total school appropriation for the school year 1881-82 amounts to $1,505,360.60, being $6.97 for each school child in the state. Of this amount Los Angeles county gets $73,895.94 showing that there are 10,602 children of school age in this county. One of our citizens a few days ago bought a load of wood from a Mexican, and yesterday in picking up some of it shook off from the roots some fine samples of native silver. He is now anxious to find the man who sold the load of wood. Mr. James McFadden has given notice that on Wednesday, April 6th he will apply to the Board of Supervisors for authority to construct and maintain a chute on lands bordering Newport Bay, with license to collect tolls for use of same for a period of twenty years. Pierre Boeuf, a Frenchman, who lived in this county until recently, drowned himself in San Francisco bay on Monday. He was swindled out of all his money by two fellow-countrymen in the city by the "boodle-ringing" process and he ended his troubles by jumping into the bay. The American Cash Store advertise today that they sell 7-pounds of the best coffee for $1.00; 16 pounds of rice for $1.00; Pierre Boeuf, a Frenchman, who lived in this county until recently, drowned himself in San Francisco bay on Monday.

The two-year-old son of Mrs. Heldt, who resides on Aliso street, Los Angeles, was drowned in the Zanja one day last week. The little fellow was playing with a dog in the bank of the Zanja, and was pushed in by the animal. A bootblack has put up his stand in the billiard room of the Planters hotel. The owner is an industrious little fellow and deserves encouragement. Congressman Pachico will visit Mexico after the adjournment of congress. It is rumored in Washington that President Garfield will tender Pachico the appointment of minister to that country. Mrs. G. H. Kellogg and other members of the family left on Thursday morning for Oakland, when they will take up their residence. The tramp law is working like a charm. But few have been seen in town since the printed copy of the law was posted on the highways and byways, and with one exception they have departed speedily when they learned the nature of the law leveled at them. The exception was a trifle drunk, and gave the marshal some trouble before he was placed in jail. He was kept there forty-eight hours, his diet during that time being an unlimited supply of bread—two small biscuits, as hard as cannon balls and about as digestible. The law gives a trump three hours to leave town after release from jail, but this particular trump was outside the town limits in a little more than three minutes after he received his freedom and speeding on his way to a more hospitable and for-bearing community. S OF LONG AGO by 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 MARCH 8, 1906 The municipal election which occurs April 9th comes on apace and promises to be the warmest number ever experienced in the city. Several citizens have been mentioned for city trustee and some of them have declined to stand for the honor. C. O. Rust and Wm. Schwenckert will probably stand for re-election and Louie Kroeger will also enter the lists. Among others named are W. H. Spake, Ben Dauser, H. M. Adams, L. E. Miller, C. F. Grim, H. Stern and B. V. Beebe. It is proper to add that most of these gentlemen have declined to run, but probably some of them will be induced to stand for member of the Board. Four are to be elected. For city treasurer the incumbent, John Hartung will be up for re-election, and Joseph Helmsen will contest the honor with him. The position is one of great responsibility and importance and a spirited though good-natured fight is on for the place. For Marshal, N. F. Steadman, who has held the office for fourteen years will have the active opposition of M. H. Litten, who until recently has been nightwatchman. Friends of John Brunworth are supporting him for the place and a three-cornered contest may result. City clerk Merritt has no opposition so far and may be slated for a walk over. Merritt has been an efficient officer, making the best city clerk the town ever had. Mr. Asher desires us to state he is not a candidate for election as trustee. He is too busy attending to his general merchandising business to think of entering the race. Mr. Asher’s name has been mentioned as an available man for the place. Having made a success of his own private business, it is argued he ought to do as well by the municipality. But he positively refuses, saying politics and business do not mix. The members of Co. E were banqueted by the officers of the company at the armory on Thursday evening. The regular weekly drill was first held, thirty-five guardsmen answering roll call. The company was drilled by Capt. Stern and Lieut. Selinger and subsequently by Sergeants Yungbluth and Adams. All acquitted themselves creditably; Corporals Speilman, Pressel, Schindler and Santiago Growers Had Banner Year 1,216 Cars of Oranges Brought $3,045,329 in 1930, a Banner Year The Santiago Orange Growers’ Association had a generous share in the prosperity which was poured upon the citrus growers of Southern California last year, according to the report made by R. E. Gross, Manager and secretary, to the annual meeting held in Orange. Figures for Last Year Mr. Gross’ report showed that receipts for 1930 were $3,045,329.65 from shipments of 1216 cars of oranges. The report showed that the largest volume of business was done the past season since the beginning of the association in 1893. This exceeds the record of 1929. The total returns to members were $2,761,996.50. The association has an acreage of 4000 and 364 members. About 450 members and guests were present at the meeting. In his report Gross said the past five crops handled by the association show total receipts of $12,615,661.30, with shipments of 2,714,656 boxes of fruit. Net Returns to Growers After deducting the expenses there would be net returns to the grower of better than 5-1-3 cents per pound average on the tree including all varieties. The satisfactory returns received by orange growers the past year did not just happen, but are the result of cooperation of the exchange grower. The average receipts for the five-year period show over $2,500,000 per year. New Pickling Plan Tried “Members were informed at the beginning of the season that the board of directors had decided that a new pickling plan would be tried,” read the report, “the plan dividing the district into zones. This has worked out very satisfactorily; in fact it has been a success. It certainly gives every grower The members of Co. E were banqueted by the officers of the company at the armory on Thursday evening. The regular weekly drill was first held, thirty-five guardsmen answering roll call. The company was drilled by Capt. Stern and Lieut. Selinger and subsequently by Sergeants Yungbluth and Adams. All acquitted themselves creditably; Corporals Speilman, Pressel, Schindler and Boege put the boys through the manuel of arms in good order and later the company was dismissed. The company repaired to the mess room where the banquet was held. A bountiful supply of good viands was made to go the way of all good things and all were happy at being present. At the conclusion of the banquet Capt. Stern addressed the company, Sergt. Yungbluth also made a few remarks and proposed three cheers for the officers of the company which were given in a hearty manner, and the assemblage than dispersed. Louie Koerner, an old-time Anaheim boy, now one of the leading building contractors of Louisville, Ky., was in town on Monday having stopped off between trains while on his way to San Diego, where he goes once a year to see his mother. Louie says he has a million dollars worth of building contracts on hand in Louisville and other southern cities. The Anaheim high school meets Covina in debate on Friday evening at the latter place. Max Carmichael and Fayette Lewis will represent the local school. The debate will be, Resolved, That the United States has pursued long enough her policy of no foreign alliance." We take the negative. Mr. Spake informs us that within the past two weeks 230 shade and ornamental trees have been procured from Anaheim nurserymen and planted along streets and yards in town. Besides this number were a large number from outside nurserymen, of which the chamber of commerce has no record. Dave Rogers of Westminster has sold his 160 acre home place to a syndicate of Los Angeles sportsmen who will establish thereon a shooting club. The purchase price is said to be $110 per acre. Uncle Dave will probably remove to Los Angeles to reside. Seventy-four hundredths of an inch of rain fell Saturday night, and .05 the night of Wednesday, the 28th inst., bringing the total for the season, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge to 10.74 inches. Last season to date 10.67. Gov. Hogg of Texas died at his home in Houston the latter part of last week. Gov. Hogg was at one time owner of the ostriches broken to harness by W. A. Frantz eleven years ago in this city. Frantz traveled with the birds in a circus, and at Denver tiring of the show business, after being three months on the road, disposed of them and returned to this city. One of the birds was subsequently purchased by Gov. Hogg and driven by him. Both birds died some years ago. W.J.Hale has sold 1900 acres of land situated north of Plainland orange growers the past year did not just happen, but are the result of cooperation of the exchange grower. The average receipts for the five-year period show over $2,500,000 per year. New Picking Plan Tried "Members were informed at the beginning of the season that the board of directors had decided that a new picking plan would be tried," read the report, "the plan dividing the district into zones. This has worked out very satisfactorily; in fact it has been a success. It certainly gives every grower a chance on picks, as everyone is given an opportunity to be in the first quarter in every fourth pool as the turn to be first comes to that zone. Refund for the Year "The refund for the year totaled $133,232.30, according to figures submitted, and the 1929 refund was $36,203.64. The average price per field box was $3.57, and the average per packed box, refund included, was $5.60½ for all Valencias, $4.98 on miscellaneous varieties and $3.37 on navels. During the year 460,400 boxes of fruit were precooled at a saving of about 10 cents per box, and 486,584 boxes were shipped." May Organize Group of Property Owners Prompted by a suggestion form V.W.Lathem of Alhambra, a proposal to form a property owners' division of the Anaheim Realty Board is under consideration. Mr.Latham, who is chairman of the state property owners' division of the California Realtors Association!, spoke to the local realtors at their dinner last Saturday night at the Pickwick hotel, when he pointed out the advantages of such an organization. One prime purpose of the propriety owners' division is, he explained, an equalization of taxes so that real estate owners will not be forced to bear more than their share of the expenses of Gov. Hogg of Texas died at his home in Houston the latter part of last week. Gov. Hogg was at one time owner of the ostriches broken to harness by W. A. Frantz eleven years ago in this city. Frantz traveled with the birds in a circus, and at Denver tiring of the show business, after being three months on the road, disposed of them and returned to this city. One of the birds was subsequently purchased by Gov. Hogg and driven by him. Both birds died some years ago. W. J. Hale has sold 1900 acres of land situated north of Placentia to J. S. Torrence and a syndicate of Los Angeles capitalists for $220,000. It is said the Huntington electric railway will soon traverse the tract. The Rivera team won the ball game on Sunday defeating the Oil Wells by a score of 5 to 3, but they had to put up a quality of ball of the semi-professional variety to do it. Next Sunday the Hamburgers and Oil Wells will play. Joe Burke umpired and gave them all a square deal. L. A. Evans has sold ten acres belonging to C. D. Thompson east of town to D. E. Billings, for $3000. Miss Pearl Remington, employed in the composing room of the Fullerton News was over on her wheel some days ago and dropped in to see us. Miss Remington was formerly an employee of this newspaper, and is one of the prettiest girls in Fullerton. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Konig entertained during the week Mr. and Mrs. Cranz of San Francisco and Mrs. Hunsecker and daughter of Los Angeles. Joseph Hatfield visited in Pomona and San Bernardino yesterday. He went to Long Beach on Tuesday. Joe is getting to be a globe trotter. John T. Hanna is recovering from an attack of pneumonia which confined him to his bed for seven weeks.

"Whether we see the need for it or not," he said, "changes in taxation are bound to come and property owners must be prepared to cope with the situation by proper organization." Trivial individual problems have no part in such an organization, he said, but it is dependent upon strict enforcement of the rule that only matters affecting city, county and state groups of property owners are to be discussed. There is much interest taken in these organizations by property owners in numerous cities, he said, among them Santa Ana, Pasadena, San Pedro and Burbank.

Clean Child's Bowels "California Fig Syrup" is Dependable Laxative for Sick Children SAME PRESCRIPTION HE WROTE IN 1892 When Dr. Caldwell started to practice medicine, back in 1875, the needs for a laxative were not as great as today.
