IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 2, 1881 The board of town trustees meet in regular session on Wednesday. Mr. R. J. Northam is building a large barn on the property which he recently purchased. R. W. Scott, Esq., lost a diamond pin a few days ago. He will pay a liberal reward for its return. Our friend Fisher of the San Diego Union announces that he is going to get married. Congratulations. A postoffice has been established at Lang's station in this county and John Lang has been appointed postmaster. We are requested to announce that all the storekeepers in Anaheim have agreed to close their places of business on Monday. It requires more patriotism to turn customers away from the doors than it does to walk a mile or two in a procession and listen to an oration. Mr. John Hunter has raised a small lot of genuine Scotch Fife wheat. It is now in the dough, and the heads are large and fine looking. Spots of rust have appeared on the stalks, but Mr. Hunter is of the opinion that there is vitality enough in the wheat to mature in spite of this. County Assessor Venable tells us that the assessment roll of this county for the year of 1881 will foot up a million dollars more than it did last year. The increase is in the amount of money on hand returned by tax payers and the higher valuation placed on improvements. The Board of Supervisors meet on Tuesday and the assessment roll will then be turned over to them for Mr. John Hunter has raised a small lot of genuine Scotch Fife wheat.

Williams was cleaning his horse, he stepped on the end of a halter strap which trailed on the ground and at that moment the horse jerked back suddenly, throwing Mr. Williams to the ground. He fell with such force that his shoulder blade was broken and his whole body was badly jarred. Mr. S. J. Davis will take charge of his truck business until he is able to use his arm again. The owners of the property on which the San Juan Hot Springs is located have had warning notices posted at different places on the ranch, giving notice that any person who shall willfully or carelessly destroy or damage any of the property, or cut any of the timber growing on the ranch, will be prosecuted for misdemeanor. It is claimed that the depredations of the multitude which visit the springs every year make it necessary to adopt strict measures. Mrs. Bancroft, mother of the well known historian of the Pacific States, is now visiting at the residence of her nephew, Mr. B. H. Bancroft, in Orangethorpe. Although she is now in her eighty-fourth year, she is remarkably active and energetic. It is a rare pleasure to meet with one of her advanced years who converses on current topics with so much interest and intelligence. She will soon leave for her home in Napa, and contemplates making the trip without escort. At the meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 85 A. O. U. W. on Monday night, the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing term of six months: Richard Melrose, Master Workman; A. T. Ferdon, treasurer; Wesley Alms, overseer; Hippolyte Cahen, receiver; E. M. Ferguson, financier; J. M. Guinn, recorder; E. A. White, guide; H. A. Stough, II. D.; D. J. Sorensen, O. W.; Dr. G. H. Bailey, medical examiner; Frank Ey, trustee. The officers will be installed on Monday, July 11th. Personal:—Mrs. J. J. Hill came in from Tuscon on Saturday to spend a few months in Anaheim. She reports the heat almost unendurable in Arizona. Mr. Arthur Heimann was in town on Sunday. Mr. Allen Lawton returned on Monday from his trip east. He will resume his position at the railroad depot. Mr. S. J. Davis, an old time resident of Anaheim, has been visiting here during the week, and will pass the summer months in Silverdo. Mr. L. N. Evans and family have removed to Los Angeles, we hope not permanently. Mr. Adolph Rimpau will leave today for San Diego, to be gone a couple of weeks. Mr. J. L. Rose of San Gabriel was in town yesterday. The meeting of irrigators at Orangethorpe schoolhouse on last Saturday was attended by twenty-five interested persons.

Rose of San Gabriel was in town yesterday. The meeting of irrigators at Orangethorpe schoolhouse on last Saturday was attended by twenty-five interested persons. The conclusion was unanimously arrived at that winter irrigation must be resorted to in order to make the raising of grain a certainty, and as there is always a superabundance of water in the river in the winter months, all that was required was a channel to conduct it to the lands to be irrigated. A committee was appointed to ascertain whether the Anaheim water company would carry their water to a certain point for a reasonable compensation and the meeting adjourned subject to call. Marshal Poole, who is a heavy owner in the Blue Light mine at Silverado, went up there last Saturday to put miners at work upon the claims. As soon as sufficient ore has been got out to load two cars, he will ship it to San Francisco, and have a thorough working test made of it. Mr. Poole wielded the pick and shovel in the northern part of the state for fourteen years, and his opinion on the subject of mines and ores has, therefore, great weight. He inclines to the belief that the mines of Silverdo will yet prove to be as rich and permanent as the most sanguine have predicted, and if the test which he proposes to make of the ores of the Blue Light come up to his anticipations, vigorous and continuous work will be kept up on the mine henceforth. An Aerial Navigation company, composed of San Franciscans has just filed articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State. It seems probable in view of recent developments that to Canada must be awarded the glory of having invented the first practicable flying machine. On Tuesday last at Ottawa a man named Clancey, gave an exhibition with a flying machine of his own invention, in the presence of several thousand spectators. The machine is described as being worked by a crank and having wings. The telegram says: "Starting at St. Arme's church, he managed to keep in the air at the average height of twelve feet for a quarter of a mile. Great excitement was manifested and the inventor proposes flying across the Ottawa river on Dominion Day from the tower of the Parliament building. Clancey has been at work for thirty years at his machine which he will have at once patented." 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 5, 1906 Miss Marie Harris of San Francisco is visiting with her cousins, Misses Claudina and Agnes Rimpau. Rev. Markel attended the annual ministerial convention of the Christian church held in Los Angeles Saturday. Mrs. W. N. Hardin of Pasadena, formerly of this city was a guest the past week of Mr. and Mrs. Will Lawrence. Thos. Strain and daughters, Lillie and Gertrude Strain, of Placentia, left Monday for a two-months visit to Ireland. Miss Clem Backs, who has just graduated from the Orange County Business college, was home to spend the Fourth with her family. Misses Helen and Isabel Richardson and Miss Edith Wallop chaperoned by Misses Kate and Ella Rae sojourned at Bay City for the past fortnight. A party of young men consisting of Fayette Lewis, Ned Merritt, and Harry Armstrong camped at Anaheim Landing for two weeks returning home on Friday. Joe Hatfield came up from Bay City on Monday for supplies. Joe is conducting a restaurant at the beach and may assume control of $15,000 hotel now building there. Robert Strain, manager of the citrus union at Orange, accompanied by his family spent the Fourth with relatives on Orangethorpe Avenue, the guests of Mrs. Spencer and family. Miss Clara Fischer, a graduate of the Southern California Business college, holds a responsible position as bookkeeper at the Affairs of Week at Nation's Capital (Corrrespondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—There is no longer any question in the minds of political gossipers here as to who is the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for President in 1932. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor of New York, is much more strongly entrenched in the lead today than Al Smith was at this time four years ago, while his position is a thousand times better than that of Woodrow Wilson in 1911. No attempt has been made to try and line up delegates for the big convention this far in advance, although Governor Roosevelt's "non-political" visit to Ex-Governor Cox of Ohio, the 1920 candidate when Roosevelt ran in second place on the ticket, and to George White, the present governor, drew the statement from Mr. Cox that he would be glad to support Roosevelt for the nomination, while Mr. White proved more than friendly to Roosevelt. What the hot weather prophets look upon as the greatest boost for the New York governor is the public announcement by Col. Edward Mandell House that he wants Roosevelt to run and will be glad to do anything to further his prospects. If Col. House should be made Roosevelt's campaign manager, it will mean that the Republicans will have to extend themselves to win. House's support of Wilson proved the turning point in the war president's career, and Wilson's victory was largely due to the astute politics played by the man from Texas. Col. House, in his statement, declares if Roosevelt is defeated for the nomination, he will back Newton D. Baker as his second choice. In many ways Col. House is the most powerful politican in the Democratic ranks, if not in the entire country. A millionaire, he has shown not the slightest desire for political preferment for himself, declining the highest Joe Hatfield came up from Bay City on Monday for supplies. Joe is conducting a restaurant at the beach and may assume control of $15,000 hotel now building there. Robert Strain, manager of the citrus union at Orange, accompanied by his family spent the Fourth with relatives on Orangethorpe Avenue, the guests of Mrs. Spencer and family. Miss Clara Fischer, a graduate of the Southern California Business college, holds a responsible position as bookkeeper at the Southwestern Ornamental Iron and Wire Works in Los Angeles. The Turners are looking for a building lot 180 x 200 feet and have under consideration the erection of a large town hall. The building will contain the latest apparatus for turning as well as a large swimming pool and will cost approximately $5000. Prof Walker of the high school is devoting his time during vacation to raising a crop of potatoes. He finds that he loses water through earthen ditches and is trying to interest his neighbors to join with him and apply for a cement ditch from the Water company. A reunion of the class '05 of A. H. S. was held Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Mary Rogers, where a delightful evening was passed. Dainty refreshments were served. Those present were Misses Hazel Michod, Clara Fischer, Mary Watson, Mary Rogers, Messrs. Walter Mickle, and Harold Pellegrin. City Clerk Merritt advises prospective house builders to bear in mind the provisions of an ordinance which requires that a permit be first procured from the city trustees. Neglect to comply with the ordinance might subject one to a fine. A fee of 10 cents on the $100 of valuation is exacted by the general clerk who may also give you valuable pointers on putting up buildings free of charge. Jesse Mann and Miss May Perrine were married at the residence of the bride's parents at Whittier on Monday evening. The groom formerly resided here where he has a large circle of friends. The bride is one of the Quaker city's most beautiful girls. The newly married couple will reside in Los Angeles. Levi Mann of this city, brother of the groom, attended the wedding, accompanied by his wife. Mrs. M. J. Gardiner died suddenly at her home in Los Angeles on Friday evening. Diceased was for many years a resident of this city, having at one time been postmaster here. Her husband, Dr. J. S. Gardiner passed away some eight months ago. She was the mother of Mrs. Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana and Mrs. Ella Coons of Los Angeles. The remains were laid to rest beside those of her deceased husband in the Anaheim cemetery on Sunday morning. The engagement is announced of Fred T. Rimpau, son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Rimpau of this city and Miss Sarah Sappington of Whittier, formerly of St. Louis, Mo. The wedding will take place early in the fall. The fortunate young man met his finance in this city while on a visit here from Fairbank, Arizona, where he is engaged with a large mercantile firm. He returns to the territory the latter part of the week, but will come to California two weeks returning home on Friday. In many ways Col. House is the most powerful politician in the Democratic ranks, if not in the entire country. A millionaire, he has shown not the slightest desire for political preference for himself, declining the highest offices in the gift of President Wilson. He is a politician out of sheer love for the game. Although 73 years old he is wiry and active and can hold his own with much younger men, physically. Col. House is a "dry," politically, but is well liked by the "wets" for his stand against national prohibition. He is believed to have inspired Wilson's famous letter in which he declared that prohibition was a local question and should be kept out of national politics. Roosevelt, while a dry personally, holds the same position as Wilson on liquor, that is not a matter for the Federal Government but a purely local question. Being a dry has not been easy for Col. House. The Democrats of Texas split wide open years ago on the liquor question and it needed all of Col. House's astuteness to pull victory out of the fire caused by the gaps made in his fences by the question. If he handles Roosevelt's campaign it will be up to him to manouver so that the wets and drys of his party can find a common basis on which to work for the success of the national ticket. A "moist plank" will have to be explained very carefully to Southern Democrats but, if anyone can make them adopt such a plank, it is felt that Col. House is that man. Washington gossips believe that John J. Raskob's effort to "put over" Al Smith again is already a failure, and that Governor Ritchie of Maryland, an out-and-out wet, right now is Roosevelt's leading opponent for the nomination. His stand on liquor is felt to be against him, much as he is liked personally. At the present moment, close students of politics can see nothing but a race between Hoover and Roosevelt in the 1932 presidential campaign and the New Yorker, with the prestige of following exactly in Wilson's footsteps as far as the liquor question is concerned, and the advantage of having the same sponsor as Wilson, is in a most powerful position, even his opponents say. Woodrow Wilson has been dead seven years and it is ten years since he left White House to become a private citizen. In those years his enemies have exhausted their vituperations and the real Wilson is beginning to emerge on a popular figure. Lindsay She was the mother of Mrs. Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana and Mrs. Ella Coons of Los Angeles. The remains were laid to rest beside those of her deceased husband in the Anaheim cemetery on Sunday morning. The engagement is announced of Fred T. Rimpau, son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Rimpau of this city and Miss Sarah Sappington of Whittier, formerly of St. Louis, Mo. The wedding will take place early in the fall. The fortunate young man met his finance in this city while on a visit here from Fairbank, Arizona, where he is engaged with a large mercantile firm. He returns to the territory the latter part of the week, but will come to California in the fall to claim his bride. A crowd of several hundred persons spent Sunday at Bay City, where many substantial improvements are being made. Cement sidewalks have been constructed throughout the territory and the roadways oiled. A $15,000 hotel is in course of construction and a 1500-foot pleasure pier constructed. Many buildings are in course of construction. A boat runs from Bay City to Long Beach twice daily, carrying excursionists free of charge. Bay City is coming to be one of the favorite watering places on the Southern California coast. The construction of the Southern Pacific railway from Benedict to Smeltzer will mark the building of a road which the company has had in view for a number of years. The new line will save a twenty mile haul for several thousand carloads of freight which now go around by way of Newport Beach and Santa Ana and thence to this city. This freight will soon go by the way of the more direct route, and will come to this city from Benedict on the Los Alamitos line and thence to Los Angeles. The new line will also soon have a mail route established upon it, and mail for Garden Grove, Westminster, Smeltzer and other points in the peatlands will go by way of the new route instead of by the round-about way through Santa Ana. Sixteen votes were polled at the Democratic primaries in town on Saturday afternoon, twelve in precinct 1 and four in precinct 2. Polls for both precincts were held in the Krooger building. The following delegates were selected to attend the county convention which meets at Santa Ana in Saturday: Precinct 1—Henry Oelkers, N. F. Steadman, Godfrey Stock, Max Boege, Fred Johnson. Precinct 2—J. H. Brunworth, Fred Rimpau, Bud Eubanks, Julius Schneider. In Fullerton No. 1 nine votes were cast and the following delegates elected: W. T. Brown, E. J. Marks, J. C. Braley, J. M. Woodward, A. V. Smith, C. S. Knowlton, P. C. Woodward. Fullerton No. 2: Nineteen votes cast—Edgar Johnson, L. P. Drake, J. A. Vail, J. R. Gardiner, C.

New Manager for Stevens-Van Engelen F.T. West, for several years manager of the Rock Springs, Wyoming branch of the Stevens-Van Engelen company, this week took over the reins of management of the Anaheim store, relieving H.C. Van Engelen who returns to his home at Burley, Idaho, where he will have charge of his establishment in that city. Mr. Van Engelen, one of the owners of the string of merchandise stores, came to Anaheim about a year ago. In the time he has been here he has made a large number of friends.

Van Engelen who returns to his home at Burley, Idaho, where he will have charge of his establishment in that city. Mr. Van Engelen, one of the owners of the string of merchandise stores, came to Anaheim about a year ago. In the time he has been here he has made a large number of friends. Mr. West is optimistic about business conditions in Anaheim. "The store has been showing excellent progress, which speaks extremely well for the condition of the city." I'm impressed with the volume of business here, and am pleased to be sent to Anaheim." Mr. and Mrs. Van Engelen and children left Monday for Idaho. Mr. and Mrs. West are temporarily located pending shipment of furniture from Wyoming. Public Warned to Let Fawns Alone Whenever you find one of these little big-game animals wandering in the woods or near the highway, you can rest assured that Mrs. Doe is near at hand and is well informed as to the location of her child. She may keep herself concealed, but she is nevertheless. Unfortunately Mrs. Doe does not always seem to be able to control the wanderings of her young. "Peck's Bad Boy" of ten follows silly notions and does so without punishment—that is unless some uninformed member of the human species finds him "lost" and seeks to "save" him. E.L. Macaulay, chief of the bureau of patrol of the State Division of Fish and Game, has issued an appeal requesting all persons to guard against the "fawn fever." It is an humane appeal. "Drive carefully in the deer country so as not to destroy the wild animals," Macaulay said, "and when you find a fawn, or any other wild animal for that matter, do not try to take them for pets. In case you positively know that the mother of a fawn has been killed or fatally injured, be sure to note the location and report to the nearest state game warden. It is not very difficult to get information at habitations." In addition to the harm caused by picking up these little fawns, a heavy penalty may be imposed upon those violating this section of the fish and game law. A fine of not less than $50 or more than $500, or imprisonment, for not less than 50 days or more than 150 days or by both such fine and imprisonment is provided for. Also, the official states, a permit from the state is absolutely necessary to keep these animals and due to the difficulties in... 666 LIQUID OR TABLETS Relleves a Headache or Neuralgia in 30 minutes, cheeks a Cold the first day, and cheeks Malaria in three days. 666 Salve for Baby's Cold.
