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 Citizens of Anaheim and Or 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 9, 1881 Four hundred and fifty tons of castor beans and flax seed were shipped from this county last year, and $40,000 was paid to the producers. Mr. A. von Babo will leave next week for Oakland where he will remain during the summer. We hope to see him back in Anaheim next winter. There was a general rainfall throughout the county on Tuesday. In some localities it rained quite heavily and other points fere favored with slight showers only. Mr. M. A. Mendelson has returned from a wool buying trip through the county. He has made several large purchases, although the market is hardly opened yet. The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company have engaged an attorney to bring suit against the Riverside Land company to restrain them from diverting more water from the river than they are entitled to. Messrs. Ferguson and Lake have added a live rattlesnake to the zoological department of their drug establishment. He will be given a glass house and a conspicuous place in the window. Mr. B. F. Seibert has returned from his Arizona trip. An examination of some of the ore specimens which he brought back with him is enough to cause an old miner to make a break for the territory forthwith.

The Literary programme for the meeting of Anaheim Lodge 85, A. O. U. W., on Monday evening is as follows: Declamation, Afi Rimpau; Song, T. S. Grimshaw; Reading, D. W. C. Cowan; Declamation, W. M. McFadden. Jesus Moreno, the well known and desperate horse thief was seen on Tuesday leisurely riding up the Santa Ana canyon with a lot of fine stolen horses. When near Yorba settlement he relieved a fellow traveler of some $30. He was last seen going toward Temescal. The application of the Los Angeles postmaster for street letter boxes in that city has been denied by the department for the reason that a compliance with the request would be followed by a shower of applications for a similar favor from other cities on this coast. There's a reason for you. There was a runaway Monday afternoon on the San Bernardino and Newport road just south of Mr. Henry Watson's. It was a Riverside team on its way to Newport Landing. The driver while trying to stop the horses was knocked down and run over, but not, we believe, seriously injured. The wagon was pretty thoroughly demolished and one of the horses had his leg cut somewhat badly. Attention is called to the card of Mr. John Hanna, real estate agent. Those who have land for sale should place it in his hands, as he will devote his entire attention to the business and thus be able to effect sales when others would fail. All having business with him will find him at the Planters hotel or at the Telegraph office. We are glad that Mr. Hanna has gone into this business, as he has it in his power to do this place a world of good. The most notable event of the week in London has been the illumination of the business quarter of the city with the electric light. On Thursday night the Brush company had 32 lights replacing 162 gas lamps, Siemans had 6 great lights hoisted on tall poles and 28 small lights. The streets seemed like day. One could easily read newspapers in any part. The outlines of the great public buildings about the Bank of England were brought out with strong effect. The freedom of Anaheim from all kinds of malaria is a pleasing fact to which we have adverted a hundred times. The natural supposition is that malaria is always present where irrigation is extensively practiced, but the porous character of the soil here prevents the forming of pools of stagnant water and the consequent disease germs which such pools always throw off. There is perhaps another way of accounting for one singular immunity from disease. Professor Bouchardt attributes to the vine powerful sanitary properties.

There is perhaps another way of accounting for one singular immunity from disease. Professor Bouchardt attributes to the vine powerful sanitary properties. He asserts wherever it is cultivated to any great extent, there is a very sensible diminution of intermittents. The virtue is attributed to the action of the vine on the effluvia which causes fevers. The following are the names attached to the call for a land league mass meeting of the citizens of Anaheim and vicinity who are in sympathy with the Irish Land League and its movements against landlordism to be held at Kroeger's hall on Saturday evening. Among them as will be seen, are many of our most prominent citizens: Edward Evey, S. L. Chilson, D. E. Miles, T. A. Darling, E. A. Saxton, A. Langenberger, R. W. Scott, B. Dreyfus, J. Backs, Theo.

The reports of the various officials were passed upon. The report of the marshal showed that only $4.90 of last year's taxes were uncollectable. In the matter of the complaint of G. Davies of an obstruction at the corner of Broadway and Palm street, it was ordered that the committee on Public improvements be authorized to do what they deemed necessary in the premises. The committee to whom had been referred the matter of the Broadway ditch reported that the consent of the Water company was necessary to the removal of the said ditch. The committee was continued with instructions to consult with the Water company and report at the next meeting. It was agreed to allow Nightwatchman Bohn $10 for his services during the month of April. Premission was granted to B. F. Seibert, Chas. Wille and Richard Melrose to plant a row of trees on the street in front of their respective premises, said trees to be seven feet from the line of the street. A vote of thanks was tendered to the Marshal for the satisfactory performance of his duties during his term of office. Mrs. Fred Barat progressive whit for the guests.

OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only as of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 12, 1906 Harry Whitaker was in town this week from West Anaheim. Tony Hessel arrived here from Chicago on Sunday to remain. Mrs. Ruth Dutton entertained the high school class of '08 at her home on Olive street on Friday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Jerome O'Dell of Chicago were guests the past week of Rev. and Mrs. Markle. L. A. Evans has sold twenty acres belonging to Mons. Tousseau, lying east of town to C. D. Thompson for $1500. Mayor Rust has purchased a $1450 Reo touring car at the Skinner garage. The machine is a beauty and is one of the fastest in the county. A. S. Bradford of Placentia and Mr. Reeves of La Mirada were in town the fore part of the week, attending a meeting of the Directors of the First National Bank. Jean B. Poyet died at his home near Placentia ostrich farm on Saturday, aged 69 years and 2 months. The funeral occurred on Monday, interment being in the Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Adelaide Holcomb, mother of Rev. F. R. Holcomb, of Fullerton, died on Sunday at the family residence in that city. She was aged 90 years and was a pioneer resident of Fullerton. Mrs. Gerald Sandilands entertained friends on Thursday afternoon in honor of the birthday anniversary of her mother, Mrs. Robison. Delightful refreshments were served and later the New Prelate Most Reverend Metropolitan Archbishop W. Athinagoras, new head of the Greek Orthodox Church in the United-States, as he paid his respects to President Hoover at the White House. Political Wheels of Washington By JAMES L. WEST Jean B. Poyet died at his home near Placentia ostrich farm on Saturday, aged 69 years and 2 months. The funeral occurred on Monday, interment being in the Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Adelaide Holcomb, mother of Rev. F. R. Holcomb, of Fullerton, died on Sunday at the family residence in that city. She was aged 90 years and was a pioneer resident of Fullerton. Mrs. Gerald Sandilands entertained friends on Thursday afternoon in honor of the birthday anniversary of her mother. Mrs. Robison. Delightful refreshments were served and later the guests departed wishing Mrs. Robison many happy returns of the day. The Methodists will hold services in their church on Sunday morning. It is not expected that the improvement on the building will be entirely completed, yet sufficiently to make occupancy possible. Appropriate anthems will be rendered by the choir and the Easter occasion will be duly observed. Mrs. Claude Miller, a niece of Dr. W. W. Adams died at her home on Hedwig street on Thursday. She was the daughter of Dr. W. J. Adams of Oxnard, who was here with members of his family to attend his daughter in her last illness. Deceased was a native of Missouri and was aged 19 years and six months. A. Pierotti, one of the prosperous Placentia residents was in town on Monday. Mr. Pierotti has disposed of a large crop of oranges at satisfactory prices, and is now waiting for the Huntington electric railway to pass his farm and doorstep. He looks for Placentia to have not only the trolley within the year but also two steam railroads before long thereafter. At the preliminary contest held at the high school last Friday the following pupils were selected to represent the Anaheim high school at the county oratorical contest to be held in Orange May 5, afternoon and evening: Miss Mary Mize, declamation freshman class. Miss Ruby Pinkham, essay, sophomore class. Max Carmichael, oration, junior class. Fayette Lewis, oration senior class. The work of Miss Gertrude Asher and Miss Grace Schindler was worthy of special mention. Wm. H. Kennedy had an offer this week for a twenty-acre tract owned by him adjoining the new Benedict townsite as well as an inquiry as to the price of his forty-acre improved place at Clair. Mr. Kennedy asked $2500 for the first piece or $2000 and he take the crop. For his home place $12,000. The inquirer offered $1800 spot cash for the first piece, the present owner to take the crop, but this was refused. He asked about Mr. Kennedy's well, and was told it yielded 80 inches of water, costing 8 cents per hour to raise to the surface. He asked until Wednesday to consider the trade. He is believed to be associated with the Benedict townsite enterprise. Mrs. Fred Backs entertained friends on Thursday afternoon at progressive whistle. The afternoon being rainy, carriages called for the guests. A delightful afternoon was participated in. Refreshments of cake, ice-cream and other delicacies were served. Mrs. Shanley won the first prize, a handsome vase. Miss Emma Klein the second, a china rose bowl, and Mrs. Arthur Lewis the consolation, a glass vase. Those present were Mrs. Melrose, Mrs. Political Wheels of Washington By JAMES L. WEST WASHINGTON—Democratic leaders, like the little boy on the lonely country road, are doing a lot of whistling these days to keep up their courage after the explosive meeting of the Democratic National Committee here recently. Their tune is that after all the little late unpleasantness over prohibition was a good thing for the party as it brought the question out of its presumed hiding place into the open where it may be discussed dispassionately and calmly. Well, its discussion at the committee meeting was anything but dispassionate and calm. A tenser atmosphere in a political meeting than that existing after John J. Raskob, mortgagee of the Democratic party, had thrown his state control bomb could scarcely have been imagined. Some of the participants were lashed to the fury of chair throwing and quite a few committee men and women as well as just spectators hastily withdrew them lives from the line of possible fire. Some edged for exit and others, less strategically located, began stepping toward projecting and protecting columns in the meeting hall. No doubt the heated argument was good for the party for if it did nothing more it revealed in all its gaping space the chasm that divided the dry Democrats of the South from the wet, Tammy-controlled Democrats of the East. The Southerners were more vocal in the sharp light, but they found that Mr. Raskob, the chairman they would like so much to get rid of, had outsmarted them for he was in undisputed control of the committee through his friends and proxies he had been able to obtain. And they found their candidate of 1928 and Mr. Raskob's candidate for 1932 lined up against them. Mr. Smith Mrs. Fred Backs entertained friends on Thursday afternoon at progressive whist. The afternoon being rainy, carriages called for the guests. A delightful afternoon was participated in. Refreshments of cake, ice-cream and other delicacies were served. Mrs. Shanley won the first prize, a handsome vase. Miss Emma Klein the second, a china rose bowl, and Mrs. Arthur Lewis the consolation, a glass vase. Those present were Mrs. Melrose, Mrs. Fred Backs Jr., Mrs. Strodthoff, Mrs. Hartung, Mrs. Arthur Lewis, Mrs. F. A. Backs Sr., Mrs. Bird Beebe, Mrs. J. W. Cole, Mrs. Henry Kuchel, Mrs. Peter Weisel Jr., Mrs. L. Asher, Mrs. Wm. Falkenstein, Mrs. Fred Rimpau, Mrs. Steadman, Mrs. Ahlborn, Mrs. Powers, Miss Winifred Melrose. Misses Klein, Miss Harris, Miss Elizabeth Kuchel. The city election on Monday called out the largest vote ever polled in the city. Four hundred and twenty votes were registered. C. O. Rust, Jos. Fiscus, L. Z. Kroeger and Gorfrey Stock are the new trustees; E. B. Merritt, city clerk; John Hartung, treasurer, and N. F. Steadman, marshal. The newly elected board of trustees will meet at the city hall on Monday evening next and organize by electing officers. The city trustees met on Tuesday evening: Present Trustees Rust, Berdrow and Fletcher. Recorder Howard reported 11 cases in his court during the month; fines collected $65. The street superintendent reported various water connections made to new residences, new lights installed and Clementina street graded from Center to Broadway. Commissioners for widening Lemon street reported they had secured agreements from property owners along the west side of that thoroughfare for a 6½ foot strip for sidewalk purposes, property owners agreeing to donate this if the city will pay all expenses incurred. The city having perviously agreed to these terms the commissioners secured the necessary deeds which were ordered recorded. Mrs. C. Langenberger made application for closing two blind alleys in the Orange Grove tract at the corner of Clementina and Broadway. The records show that in 1887 McGuffy Bros subdivided this tract, which was the property of one Jordan. It was subsequently purchased by A. Langenberger and portions of it have since been sold to other parties. A recent search of the records show two blind alleys running west from Clementina street a distance of 100 ft. Application granted. The street superintendent was authorized to purchase four tons of hay from M. Boisseranc, also to replace missing shade trees on Center and Los Angeles streets and to clear weeds from about those now growing. LOOK for the name Bayer and the word genuine on the package as pictured above when you buy Aspirin. Then you'll know that you are getting the genuine Bayer product that thousands of physicians prescribe. Bayer Aspirin is SAFE, as millions of users have proved. It does not depress the heart. No harmful after-effects follow its use. Bayer Aspirin is the universal antidote for pains of all kinds.

Aspirin is the trade-mark of Bayer manufacture of monoacetic acidester of calcelic acid. took the platform in the role of conciliator and proceeded to bring peace and harmony by asserting that his friend, Mr. Raskob, had been "jumped on and kicked all over the lot" by the Southern gentry. He described Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, who led the Southerners in their protest, as his "late sparring partner," referring to Mr. Robinson as the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee in 1928, and assured the committee that the talk about the committee influencing the next national convention on the prohibition question was "so much bunk." All of which was interesting in that it proved that the titular leader of Democracy is standing squarely behind his hand-picked chairman of the committee and with him is determined to precipitate a similar battle in the 1932 convention. And, having found out precisely where the Southerners stand on the question, they have ample time in which to gather up friendly delegates in the western states in many of which the Democratic party is a mere shell. Of course, they count on getting wet delegations from the east. In platform making only a majority of the delegates to the convention is necessary to adopt a wet plank. That majority can be obtained outside of the South and privately the leaders from below the Mason and Dixon Line are convinced that Mr. Raskob will leave no stone unturned to obtain that majority. If he does there may be another political revolution in the solid South. C. C. Teague to Return To California in June According to present plans, C. C. Teague will retire form the Federal Farm Board on June 15 and return to California to resume the presidency of the California Fruit Growers Exchange and the California Walnut Growers. 666 Is a doctor's Prescription for COLDS and HEADACHES It is the most speedy remedy known 666 also in Tablets. ACID STOMACH 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 Magnesia. It has remained standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of Phillips Milk of Magnesia 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 Magnesia" has been the U.S. If he does there may be another political revolution in the solid South. C. C. Teague to Return To California in June According to present plans, C. C. Teague will retire form the Federal Farm Board on June 15 and return to California to resume the presidency of the California Fruit Growers Exchange and the California Walnut Growers. Mr. Teague has represented fruit and vegetable growers on the Farm Board and now is serving his second term having been reappointed for six years by President Hoover last June. On the retirement of Alexander Legge as chairman, Mr. Teague was elected vice-chairman to fill the position left vacant by James C. Stone, now chairman of the Federal Farm Board. E. G. Dezell, general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, left on March 1 for a short business trip to England. During the present year export business to Europe will play an important program and Mr. Dezell's presence is required for a short time in these markets. He plans to return to his duties in California by the middle of April.
