IN THE DAYS OF I 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 SEPTEMBER 3, 1881 Rev. Mr. Robinson will preach in the Presbyterian church tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. Subject of the discourse—"The Revised Testament." Louis Mendelson, formerly of Anaheim, has been appointed to the office of Representante del Ministerro Publico in Lower California. The grape buyers of the county have agreed to pay $20 per ton for grapes during the coming vintage. The price will be paid for all varieties of grapes except muscat—a variety which wine makers do not care to buy. Mr. J. J. Hill arrived from Tucson on last Sunday in response to a telegram informing him of the serious illness of his wife. She is reported to be slowly improving the last few days. Things are booming down at the depot. The capacity of the grain warehouses are taxed to the utmost, and the depot is so full of grain that the agent was compelled to refuse to receive a lot the other day. Seventeen cottontails, the same number of (we nearly said quail) road runners and a rattlesnake comprised the game bagged by Messrs. Leonard and Fergusson during a two hours' hunt the other morning. The new freight steamer Bonita took on her first cargo of grain at Anaheim Landing on Thursday of last week. Captain Wilson, of the Landing, says she is the handsomest craft he ever saw and that she is well named. Messrs. Dreyfus and company will open the wine-making season on Monday, the Reisling and Chasselas grapes being now Seventeen cottontails, the same number of (we nearly said quail) road runners and a rattlesnake comprised the game bagged by Messrs.

Captain Wilson, of the Landing, says she is the handsomest craft he ever saw and that she is well named. Messrs. Dreyfus and company will open the wine-making season on Monday, the Reisling and Chasselas grapes being now ripe enough for the press. The Mission grapes are ripening fast and by the middle of September the vintage will be in full career. The fact was very convincingly demonstrated at the recent pigeon shooting match at the Landing that Anaheim can "get away with the pot" in that sport. The highest scores were made by Messrs. F. J. J. Schmidt and E. Dunham, both doing some remarkably fine shooting. In the first quarterly apportionment of the state school fund, Anaheim is allotted $625. One teacher is assigned to each district for every seventy census of children or fraction thereof, not less than twenty. Anaheim has five teachers, Santa Ana four, Orange two, Olive one, Yorba two. Los Angeles has fifty-one. The Republican county committee has appointed Hon. R. M. Widney of Los Angeles and A. B. Clark of Orange delegates to the State Division convention which meets in Los Angeles on the eighth instant. The Democratic county convention has appointed as delegates Messrs. C. E. Thorn of Los Angeles and Victor Montgomery of Anaheim. President Garfield's condition throughout the last week has caused the people great anxiety. His death was considered almost certain in the early part of the week, there being strong symptoms of blood poisoning. But he rallied again and the latest bulletin is that he is "holding his own," a phrase which may mean much or little. Little comfort can be extracted from the physicians' reports. A week or two ago a lady living some distance out of town felt something unpleasant crawling on her hand, and looking hastily, found a centipede stalking leisurely across the back of her hand. An immediate application of ashes and water prevented anything more serious than a painful swelling. A few days subsequently the same lady had the same hand bitten by a scorpion. The same remedy was applied, with the same result. We learn from Mr. J. Y. Anderson of Westminster that the sorghum will be up in two or three weeks, and the work of crushing it will then begin. Mr. Anderson expects to make about 1200 gallons of syrup from his own cane and a like amount from cane grown by his neighbors. Mr. F. A. Gates of Garden Grove will also make syrup this year, and it is said that the apparatus of the Artesia company has been rented to a gentleman who will work up all the cane he can get. Mr. A. E. Putney last week finished sinking three artesian wells for Mr. Jotham Bixby on the Cerritos Rancho, to supply the American Colony with water. One well is 164 feet deep and We learn from Mr. J. Y. Anderson of Westminster that the sorghum will be up in two or three weeks, and the work of crushing it will then begin.

Gates of Garden Grove will also make syrup this year, and it is said that the apparatus of the Artesia company has been rented to a gentleman who will work up all the cane he can get. Mr. A. E. Putney last week finished sinking three artesian wells for Mr. Jotham Bixby on the Cerritos Rancho, to supply the American Colony with water. One well is 164 feet deep and flows a nine-inch column of water over the top of a seven-inch pipe. The second is 96 feet deep and flows four inches over a seven-inch pipe, and the third (depth not stated) also flows a heavy stream. The water from the three wells combined makes a large creek which flows to the ocean. "A scene not down on the bill" occurred at Anaheim Landing on last Sunday. In the afternoon, when the advertised sports were engaging the attention of nearly all the visitors, an alarm was given which caused everyone who heard it to start with apprehension and rush to the beach. Three boys had been seen clinging to a small upturned boat which was being tossed about wildly in the heavy breakers which dashed on the bar, and the announcement of their mishap caused the commotion. A boat manned by Captain Wilson, Doctor Fergusson and O. DesGranges went to the rescue with all possible speed and rescued the boys from the perilous position. Two of the youngest, hardened by a sojourn of several weeks at the beach, were none the worse for their misadventure, but the third was nearly exhausted and numbed by the buffeting of the waves. What is wanted to set this community "on its pins," as the saying is, is a good, wet winter. A good demand for all kinds of agricultural products is assured for the next few years. There will be less trouble in selling than in raising. It would be well, however, to bear in mind that this is more of a horticultural than an agricultural county, and tillers of the soil should not forget the very patent fact that twenty acres of bearing vines will bring more profit to the owner than two hundred and fifty acres of wheat or barley. If everyone who owns one hundred and sixty acres of land would sell one hundred and twenty and use the money in setting out forty acres of vines, he would in ten years with ordinary luck and good management be very well off financially, and would attain that end with less expenditure of physical energy than would have been required of him had he kept his land and seeded it to grain every year.

Comrades Williams, Barr, Gates and Llewellyn have been at Huntington Beach this week, attending the Grand Army encampment. The bandstand has been moved to the vacant Strodthoff lot on Center street. The band expects shortly to begin a series of open-air concerts. L. A. Evans reports the sale of the Campbell place, consisting of ten acres opposite Caledonia Grove at West Anaheim to Mr. William Overholtzer for $5000. A. S. Bradford of Placentia, S. O. Walker of Buena Park and other Orange county delegates are at Santa Cruz attending the Republican state convention. J. S. Howard reports the sale of ten acres in the Dreyfus tract on South Los Angeles street to W. C. Brumagin, a recent arrival from Redlands, for $3500. Mrs. Steckert was bitten in the breast by a vicious horse some days ago and suffered painful injury. Her condition yesterday was reported to be improved. Rev. Father Dubble was a visitor in Los Angeles yesterday, going up to make final arrangements for the installation of a branch of the order of Knights of Columbus in this city. William Schwenckert and his twelve-year-old son, Henry, enjoyed a two days' tour of beach places a few days ago, taking in Ocean Park, Venice Plaza del Rey, Long Beach and San Diego. On the Sidewalks of New York By OBSERVER (Correspondence to The Gazette New York Prisoners) Small towns, with their one-cell "hoose-gows" in which tramps are the usual inmates for a one-night sojourn, think of New York as a terrible place. With its many thousands of prisoners. These men are held in police stations, the notorious Tombs, where Harry K. Thaw was held for the many months of his trial, the old Blackwell's Island, in the East river, where sentences over a month and less than a year are served, and many other houses of detention. Two Federal prisons are also located in the city, Governor's Island, where soldiers and sailors under sentence are immured, and Fort Wadsworth, which ranks with Leavenworth and Atlanta, although very much smaller. There is also the Federal house of detention, at West and Eleventh streets, where men are held for trial. No Conversationalists Fort Wadsworth, which has been used as a Federal prison for only a year, recently has been under fire in the newspapers. Charges were openly made that millionaire convicts had paid various sums ranging from $500 to $1000 to be transferred from the gruelling hot penitentiaries at Atlanta and Leavenworth to the cool confines of the jail located at the Narrows. A trip there to uncover the truth of such a charge netted practically nothing as far as official information goes. Everybody at the lovely fort refused to give out the slightest bid of information. They even declined, pleasantly enough, to discuss what uniforms the inmates were forced to wear, although one could see it consists of a white broadcloth shirt, well laundered and a pair of well-made blue trousers. Mrs. Steckert was bitten in the breast by a vicious horse some days ago and suffered painful injury. Her condition yesterday was reported to be improved. Rev. Father Dubble was a visitor in Los Angeles yesterday, going up to make final arrangements for the installation of a branch of the order of Knights of Columbus in this city. William Schwenckert and his twelve-year-old son, Henry, enjoyed a two days' tour of beach places a few days ago, taking in Ocean Park, Venice, Playa del Rey, Long Beach and San Pedro. H. L. Smith was in town on Tuesday after an absence of three years. Mr. Smith had the misfortune to lose his wife in February while residing in San Diego. He is now a resident of Ocean Park. Recorder Howard had five cases before him on Tuesday against whom he assessed fines in the amount of $65. G. Silk, a Los Angeles man who came down to attend the picnic was fined $25 for resisting an officer. The rest were common drunks, one of whom was fined $25. The Republican state convention now in session at Santa Cruz, will probably nominate J. N. Gillette for governor today on the first or second ballot. Orange county's fifteen delegates are for the Humboldt man, with the possible exception of a single delegate, who last night was looking for a soft spot to fall into the Gillette band wagon. A special train of six coach loads of excursionists arrived over the Southern Pacific at noon on Monday from Los Angeles to attend the Labor Day picnic at Columbia Gardens. The day was spent in merrymaking on the part of the large crowd in attendance. The Los Angeles contingent left for their homes shortly after ten o'clock in the evening. Frank Eastman and Bert Annin returned yesterday from a week's hunt for deer in the Capistrano hills. The remainder of the party, composed of George Dutton, Bob Sparks and George Nelson, will remain another week. Mr. Eastman says he saw two deer, but they were too far off for a shot. There were plenty of evidences of deer but the game was unusually wild. Fullerton voted against municipal water works on Friday by a vote of 102 in favor of the plan, and 126 against it. The question involved the issue of $35,000 bonds for the purchase of the private concern now furnishing the town with water and for enlarging and improving the system. Objection to acquiring the antiquated property of the old concern is given as the principal reason for the defeat of the bonds. Miss Sarah Crowther, daughter of William Crowther of Placentia died at the Fullerton hospital on Tuesday morning. News of her death came as a great shock to her many friends throughout this community, where she passed her girlhood and where she numbered her friends by the score. Deceased was born at Santa Clara, California, December 24, 1864. The funeral will be held from the family home on Placentia avenue on Thursday afternoon and will be under the auspices of Chispa chapter O. E. S. of this...

The one topic of discussion on Broadway this week has been the report of the widening commission assessing property owners on that street in what they feel are excessive amounts for widening that thoroughfare between Los Angeles and Lemon streets. The sum assessed against property owners in the three blocks on that fashionable street east of Los Angeles street is $881.91. Publication of the report of the commission precipitated a meeting which resulted in a delegation of Broadway citizens appearing before the city trustees, which honorable body promptly capitulated to them. The widening commission is composed of Frank Stanley, Max Nebelung and E. W. McCollum. In order to do away with an unsightly jog in that thoroughfare at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles, it was necessary to take a strip twenty feet wide for a distance of five hundred and sixty feet along the front line of property owned by William Konig, W. S. Tipton and Mrs. des Granges. The prevailing sentiment is that Broadway should be opened all the way through to West street and the district enlarged. One leading citizen suggested the district be made to enclose Center street on the north and Santa Ana on the south. However, property owners on Center street object to this as they are now trying to pave that street, which will be an expensive project. Meanwhile, the commission has received no pay for services rendered in making the report and the jog on Broadway remains the same as it was before. Reduce the Acid ICK stomachs, sour stomachs and indigestion usually mean excess acid. The stomach nerves are over-stimulated. Too much acid makes the stomach and intestines sour. Alkali kills acid instantly. The best form is Phillips Milk of Magnesium, because one harmless dose neutralizes many times its volume in acid. For 50 years the standard with physicians everywhere. Take a spoonful in water and your unhappy condition will probably end in five minutes. Then you will always know what to do. Crude and harmful methods will never appeal to you. Go prove this for your own sake. It may save a great many disagreeable hours. Be sure to get the genuine Phillips Milk of Magnesium prescribed by physicians in correcting excess acid. Anaheim, Calif., August 27, 1931 furtively watching us from a distance. His expression was that of a snarling wolf behind bars. It made us sorry the guards were so noncommunicative as we would have liked to learn what he was serving time for. Maybe he had crashed a national bank; or headed a rum running fleet; or was a notorious forger. Beyond question, he was a man of high mental attainments. An Antisocial Deduction Sizing up the convicts as a body forced the deduction that they formed a splendid body of men. They averaged away up in intelligence and social graces. In their well-kept "uniforms," they looked like men at a tennis match or yachting event. Some of the younger men were handsome. Real heart-breakers. We saw one of these young chaps taking leave of a girl, at the end of the public reception hour. They clung to each other, sobbing pitifully, utterly oblivious to the convicts around them. A desirable summer resort, say the critics. Oh, Yeah! Gasoline Tax Tumbled in July California's gasoline tax fell off from the record high mark established for June to bring in only $3,287,564.25 for the month of July. In June the tax amounted to $4,014,-580, or nearly $750,000 more than in July. The board of equalization had hoped the gasoline tax receipts for 1931 would approach a gross total of $45,000,000, but receipts for July, usually the most productive month for this tax, were only slightly more than the average for the first six months of the year. Revenue from this source is usually considerably less during the first half of the year than for the last half. Several reasons for the loss in revenue for July have been suggested, among them being the effect of the business depression on tourists and the cessation of the gasoline price war, which ended early in the summer. Farm Board Helps Sun-Maid Growers The Federal Farm Board has agreed to advance funds to the Sun-Maid Raisin in Growers of California for operating purposes for the year 1931-32, which the co-operative and the board feel will permit of successful conduct of the cooperative's business. The board has also agreed to participate in financing the California raisin pool upon the basis of the 1930 advances which it is estimated will mean an average advance to the grower of approximately two and one-half cents per NOTICE OF SALE BY TRUSTEE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on Thursday, September 10th, 1931, at the hour of 10 o'clock, a.m., of said day, at the South entrance of the Orange County Courthouse, in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orange, State of California, the Abstract & Title Guaranty Company, a corporation, as trustee under a certain deed of trust executed by Pete Daniels and Mary Daniels, husband and wife, and recorded in Book 26, Page 263, of Official Records of Orange County, California, which was given to secure a promissory note, dated February 4th, 1927, for the sum of $400.00, payable to the Savings, Loan and Building Association of Anaheim, a corporation of Anaheim, California, with interest at the rate of eight per cent per annum, principal and interest being payable in monthly installments of $4.70 each on the first day of each and every month, beginning March 1st, 1927, in accordance with the said deed of trust, and in compliance with a notice of default and demand for sale of the property in the said deed of trust and hereinafter described, recorded on May 6th, 1931, in Book 476, Page 328, of Official Records of Orange County, California, executed by the owner and holder of said note on account of the default in the payment of the principal and interest due on August 1st, 1930, and all payments due subsequently thereafter, there being a total sum of $679.18 due on the 27th day of April, 1931, including the sum of $257.28 advanced for taxes, special improvement assessments and fire insurance premium paid—on which sum there was on April Reduce Acid sour stomachs and usually mean excess stomach nerves are makes the stomach ur.
