IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Cent Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citzens of Anaheim and O 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 2, 1881 The Kewen ranch at San Gabriel has been sold to Whittier and Mayberry of San Francisco. Antonio, the three year old son of Mrs. A. Pelanconi, of Los Angeles, fell into a zanja near his home on Tuesday and was drowned. Gov. Perkins issued a proclamation on Thursday of last week calling for an extra session of the legislature to convene on the 4th inst. and remain in session twenty days. Robert Menzel yesterday re-opened the U. S. hotel at the depot, as a restaurant and lodging house. He starts out with a good patronage and hopes to make a success of the business. We are requested to state that the young son of Mrs. Woods, who was thrown from a horse some time ago and badly injured, has entirely recovered. He was attended by Dr. R. A. Fergusson. Mr. Theodore Hartung arrived from San Francisco last week and is now comfortably domiciled on his recently purchased vineyard. The carpenter and painter have made a marked improvement in the appearance of the residence. The wife of Mr. L. H. F. Dravsen died on Friday afternoon of last week under very painful circumstances. The funeral on Saturday was attended by more than the ordinary number of people. Mrs. Dravsen was aged 31 years. Mr. C. P. Cuddeback of Orange called at our office yesterday, fresh from a morning walk from La Puente, a distance of fifteen miles, and after chatting a few minutes resumed his tramp home- and is now comfortably domiciled on his recently purchased vineyard.

Cuddeback of Orange called at our office yesterday, fresh from a morning walk from La Puente, a distance of fifteen miles, and after chatting a few minutes resumed his tramp homeward as sprightly as if he had walked only a block. The condensers on the daily papers, in their endeavors to boil down their paragraphs, often squeeze out all the truth and leave in all the fiction. For instance, we read in the Sacramento paper that "Los Angeles owns her water works and furnishes free irrigation to all who desire it." A wharf has been in existence at South Santa Monica for many months, but as yet no vessel has tied up to it. The managers claim that interested parties have circulated a rumor among ship-owners in San Francisco that the structure is unsafe, and because of this rumor it has been found impossible to induce vessels to call at the wharf for a cargo. Mr. F. J. J. Schmidt has organized a hunting party which will take the field against the rabbits at 2 o'clock next Saturday afternoon, starting from his house. A general invitation is given to all who desire to participate and the liquid refreshments necessary will be furnished by Mr. Schmidt. These hunts do much to diminish the number of rabbits, which are very destructive to vineyards. The Board of Normal School trustees which convened at Los Angeles last week for the purpose of selecting a site for the Normal school adopted the following resolution, "Resolved that in our opinion the best interests of the school, and therefore of the state, demand that the Branch Normal school shall be located within the city limits of Los Angeles." After viewing the various sites offered they selected the ten acres known as the Bellevere Terrace tract, part of which is covered with an orange grove and all of it covered with a mortgage of $8,000. Mr. Beaudry who has expended $10,000 on the tract makes a gift of his interest. On Sunday evening as Mr. W. A. Witte was entering his house he noticed a man lying on the ground and a horse and dog standing near by. Next morning in leaving the house he saw the man in the same positionn. Upon investigation it was found that the man (a Mexican) had been murdered. A coroner's jury found that the deceased was named Jesus Araisa, a native of Sonora, aged about 45 years, and that he came to his death by wounds on the head inflicted by some person unknown. A pistol and a few dollars which deceased was known to have had on his person on Sunday are missing. It is thought the murderer was an Indian, but up to the present time there is not sufficient evidence to justify an arrest. The trustees of the Olive School District, Messrs. E. W. Squires, D. J. Watson and M. T. Jenefer are improving their Upon investigation it was found that the man (a Mexican) had been murdered.

Watson and M. T. Jenefer are improving their school house grounds. They have placed a neat substantial fence around the lot, and inside of that a cypress hedge, together with rows of shade and ornamental trees, principally, sypres, pepper and blue gum. During vacation they intend to furnish the school house, surmounting it with a turret for a bell, to be procured at some future time. When the designed improvements are all carried out, Olive district will possess one of the neatest and most complete school houses in the county. Following is the report of Olive school for the month ending March 25, 1881: Average enrollment, 41; Average number belonging, 34; Average daily attendance, 32; Percentage of attendance, 94. The following pupils have been neither absent nor tardy the past month and have received not less than 95 per cent on deportment and recitations: Florence E. Barr, Annie Hildreth, Julia Squires, Julia Fletcher, Ida Murphy, Vinnie Squires, Lilly Bodkin, Rosie Murphy, Ada Fletcher, Jas W. Hildreth, Bennie Fletcher, Minnie Barr, John R. Fletcher. John J. Botkin, teacher. In pursuance of announcement a meeting of fruit growers was held at Kroeger's hall on Monday afternoon, Mr. Reiser in the chair. In the absence of the secretary, Mr. R. W. Scott, Esq. was chosen secretary pro tem. He has kindly furnished us the following report of the transactions of the meeting. Te committee appointed at a former meeting, by its chairman, A. Langenburger, presented for the consideration of the meeting a constitution and by-laws. After a general discussion of the aims and objects of the club, it was deemed most expedient to defer the adoption of the constitution and by-laws to a future meeting, after permanent organization. A permanent organization was then resolved upon and the following gentlemen were elected by acclamation: President, Theodore Reiser, of Anaheim; first vice-president, D. M. Harwood of Orange; second vice-president, Robert Strong of Westminster; third vice-president, F. A. Korn of Anaheim; secretary, Richard Melrose of Anaheim. Finance committee: F. J. Schmidt, John P. Zeyn, E. A. Saxton, all of Anaheim. The meeting then adjourned to meet at 2 o'clock P.M. on Monday, April 4th at Kroeger's hall, Anaheim.

Dunn is erecting a residence on his property at the corner of Broadway and Lemon street. Wm. Kretschmer departed on Monday accompanied by his wife and son, Ollie, for a visit to Chicago and Milwaukee. Contractor Schindler has a force of mechanics engaged upon R. Wisser's new brick building, the walls of which are up to the first story. Geo. Boyd is ready to make contracts for this season's tomatoes to be supplied the cannery. He pays $7 per ton delivered. Mrs. Henry Kuchel and young son, Theodore, and Miss Winifred Melrose depart on Tuesday for Phoenix A. T. to visit with relatives and friends for a fortnight. The city election occurs next Monday. The register contains the names of 420 voters an increase of 45 over two years ago. At that election 375 votes were cast. Company E had an out door drill on Thursday evening. New recruits to the ranks are Walter C. Smith, Harry Oswill, Claude L. Glass, Wm. Floyd Field, Miles Hill and Leo Gray. Wm. Schumacher left yesterday for Matilija hot springs in Ventura county for an outing of several weeks. Fred Schneider will be in charge of the Palace market during his absence, and Joseph Hatfield will drive the delivery wagon. Political Wheels of Washington By JAMES L. WEST WASHINGTON, D. C.—A break in the ranks of what might be called the Democratic party's Big Three—Smith, Raskob, Roosevelt—makes it more certain than ever that the 1932 convention of that party will be an exceedingly lively affair. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt has come openly to the parting of the ways with his political mentor, Alfred E. Smith, and the former governor's hand-picked chairman of the party, John J. Raskob. Ostensibly the break came over the proposition of considering prohibition at the recent meeting of the Democratic National Committee called by Mr. Raskob to consider party policies in the time intervening before the next convention. However, those in the know assert that the storm has been brewing for a long time. Mr. Roosevelt is foremost among the candidates for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Twice he personally led the fight for the nomination of Mr. Smith, once unsuccessfully in that hectic New York convention of '24, and the second time successfully in the Huston convention in 1928. Presumably he counted upon the support of Mr. Smith in his own efforts to receive the next nomination, but the 1928 standard bearer has made it fairly clear that he has the desire to make another try for the Presidency, and in that frame of mind naturally he would look after only his own interest. As Governor, Mr. Rossevelt is in control of the Democratic party machinery in New York State, certainly outside of New York City, consequently he should be able to go to the next convention with a good majority of the Company E had an out door drill on Thursday evening. New recruits to the ranks are Walter C. Smith, Harry Oswill, Claude L. Glass, Wm. Floyd Field, Miles Hill and Leo Gray. Wm. Schumacher left yesterday for Matilija hot springs in Ventura county for an outing of several weeks. Fred Schneider will be in charge of the Palace market during his absence, and Joseph Hatfield will drive the delivery wagon. Arthur Harris, who for two years past has been in the employ of Asher & Falkenstein left this week for San Bernardino where he will be associated with his brother in the dry-goods business. He is succeeded by L. Kochman, an experienced salesman from San Francisco. Jos. Fiscus on Saturday found on South Los Angeles street a bank book belonging to Wm. Zohn, showing an account with a Santa Ana bank of several hundred dollars and also containing three $20 bills. Mr. Fiscus came up town and left the find at the bank where it awaits its owner. Dr. Flood and Miss Lillie Christen of this city were married at the residence of the groom on Saturday evening. A large number of invited friends were present from this city, Santa Ana and other places. The wedding presents were numerous and costly. The newly married couple will reside in this city. The millinery opening at Asher & Falkenstein's department store on Saturday afternoon was attended by many ladies from this city and elsewhere. Specimens of new hats and reasonable millinery were on display and the store was appropriately decorated with festoons and flowers. The present stock is the best this firm has ever carried and elicits much praise from intending purchasers. Fritz Yungbluth is having such a rush at his tailoring emporium that his force of four journeymen was added to by the arrival of two others from Los Angeles this week. Fritz supplies clothing not only for everybody in this section but has a number of regular customers in Los Angeles who find they can do better as to cloth and workmanship than in their own town. Edward Daniel Marion died at his home on the Garden Grove road at noon on Sunday, aged 76 years, 11 months and 2 days. Decased was a native of New York and is survived by a wife and two grown children. He has lived in this section eighteen years and was popular among a wide circle of friends. Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon. Interment was made in Anaheim cemetery. The Annual County convention of the Orange County Christian Endeavor Union was held on Saturday at the Presbyterian church in this city. Morning and afternoon sessions were held at which interesting programs were rendered. The following county officers were elected: A. M. Robinson, Santa Ana, president; Miss Eleanora Parker, Anaheim, vice-president; Victor Porter, Fullerton, secretary; E. Arrowsmith, Westminster, treasurer; Miss Marie Barker, El Modena, quiet home and tenth legion. As Governor, Mr. Rossevelt is in control of the Democratic party machinery in New York State, certainly outside of New York City, consequently he should be able to go to the next convention with a good majority of the empire state delegation. How many delegates Mr. Smith may have would be problematical. With these two native sons of the Union's largest state fighting it out at the convention a deadlock will be inevitable, particularly since it takes a two-thirds vote for nomination. So it would seem that the Democratic party has on its hands a tremendous fight, aside from the terrific struggle that is certain to ensue as a result of the efforts of the wets, led by Mr. Raskob, to obtain an at least moist declaration in the party platform. Mr. Roosevelt is regarded as the liberal candidate. In fact, he is so "liberal" that the Insurgents of the Democratic and Republican parties in both House and Senate have invited him to participate in their forthcoming conference in Washington to consider a legislative program for the first and long session of the new Congress in which, unquestionably, the co-called Progressives will weld the balance of power in both Houses. The invitation to the New York governor was extended by Senator George W. Norris, of Nebraska, who, while posing as a Republican, supported Governor Smith in 1928. He insists he has not committed himself to the Roosevelt candidacy in 32, but the invitation to the New York governor to attend the conference of "Progressives" here would indicate that he regards him as the most "liberal" of the more than half dozen candidates now in the field for the Democratic nomination. More and more Senator Norris is arrogating to himself the role of the wise man whose opinions and theories must prevail. One of his latest proposals was that he resign from the Senate and be permitted to operate Muscle Shoals under government control. The cost of that scheme to the American tax payers would have been too great. Orange County Prizes at Last State Fair The Annual County convention of the Orange County Christian Endeavor Union was held on Saturday at the Presbyterian church in this city. Morning and afternoon sessions were held at which interesting programs were rendered. The following county officers were elected: A. M. Robinson, Santa Ana, president; Miss Eleanor Parker, Anaheim, vice-president; Victor Porter, Fullerton, secretary; E. Arrowsmith, Westminster, treasurer; Miss Marie Barker, El Modena, quiet home and tenth legion. The election to vote bonds in $69,000, for municipal improvements occurs April 14th. Following so closely upon the heels of the city election on the 9th, it seems but little interest has attached to it; in fact it seems to have been forgotten in the matters of a more personal nature to be voted upon on Monday next. Yet the propositions are as important now as they were last winter, when the ground was gone over fully at the time of the anticipated holding of the election in November. The matter was dropped to be taken up again at a later date. Our advice to our readers today is precisely similar to that hitherto given them. Vote for public improvements, every one of them. Mr. and Mrs. Henry M. Adams entertained at a delightful musicale on Thursday evening in honor of Miss Gladys Downs and Mrs. Monroe of San Francisco who have recently come south to make their home in Los Angeles. During the evening Miss Downs favored the assemblage with several selections upon the pianoforte, which proved her to be a musician of rare skill and artistic execution. Her rendition of a number of difficult selections brought her much felicitation upon her performance. Miss Edna Ames sang delightfully a number of selections during the evening. She possesses a contralto voice of rare power and charming modulation and sang with rare charm. The new game of "Tag" was introduced, and elected great merriment. Refreshments were served and at a late hour the guests departed. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Adams, Miss Gladys Downs., Mrs. Monroe of San Francisco, Miss Edna Ames, Mr. and Mrs. McLaughlin, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Falkenstein, Mr. and Mrs. Wilborn Wallop, Dr. and Mrs. H. A. Johnston, Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Beebe, Mrs. Michod and the Misses Michod, Mr. and Mrs. A. Nagle, Mr. and Mrs. N. F. Steadman, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Ahlborn, Mr. and Mrs. Hatzfield, Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Grim and Miss Grim, Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong, Mr. and Mrs. Bird Beebe, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kuchel, Miss Ida Bentz, Miss Julia Nemetz, Miss Adele Strodthoff, Miss Backs, Miss Gertrude Asher, Miss Elsie Asher, Miss Olga Zeus, Miss Johnston, Fred Yungbluth, Herman Backs, Arthur Harris, Robert Johnston. Orange was one of the heavy win-exhibiting at the 1930 California State Fair, is shown in a compilation of county winnings announced by Charles W. Palme, secretary-manager of the exposition. Orange county's total of $462 placed that county seventh among the 54 counties which entered exhibits, and first in the list of money-winning counties featuring citrus displays. Complimenting Orange county on its showing, Plaine said: "For a number of years this county has had a splendid exhibit at the State Fair, and has been a consistent prize winner. The display at the 1930 Fair was one of the most comprehensive ever entered at this exposition, and created much favorable comment among the thousands of visitors. The attendance registers at the fair included people from every state in the Union as well as most of the foreign countries, and the excellent display of products shown by Orange was the best kind of advertising for that county." The State Fair directors are offering $10,000 in prize money for county displays at the 1931 exposition which opens in Sacramento, September 5, and it is expected that Orange county will again participate with the view of upholding the first-place honors won last year. Fruit Juices as Frozen Product Fruit juices may take the lead as a by-product of California orchards, in the opinion of G. L. Marsh, laboratory assistant, and M. A. Joslyn, graduate student, in the University of California fruit products division of the College Agriculture. They believe that the freezing development may re- Anaheim, Calif., March 26, 1931 suit in fruit juices becoming one of the principal industries of the state. "We believe," say Marsh and Jolyn, "that the preservation of fruit juces, especially citrus juces, by freezing will shortly develop into a leading industry in California. Even if all the factors incident to the proper packing of fruit juces have not been completely solved, yet the problems involved are relatively more simply than for other products and even today, satisfactory commercial products have been evolved. "The eyrup pack method of packing fruits such as apricots and peaches has not solved all of the difficulties, never the less, a fairly satisfactory product for a frozen dessert can be packed. And, if necessary, California can follow in the footsteps of Georgia, where this method has been applied to peaches to be consumed in a frozen state. The preservation of crushed fruits to be used in fruit ice creams and fruit lces has reached a state at present where fairly successful products can be packed. "Commercial development of the preservation of avocado pulp and sesimmon pulp by freezing is rapidly increasing in California. Probably the fruit that is best suited to this method of preservation is figs." 666 Is a doctor's Prescription for COLDS and HEADACHES It is the most speedy remedy known 666 also in Tablets.
