IN THE DAYS OF L 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 17, 1881 Oscar Luedke went to Sacramento on Tuesday. He has secured a position in a large watchmaking establishment in that city, and will perfect himself in that trade before he returns here. There will be the usual service at the Episcopal church, tomorrow morning, the opening service at Tustin being postponed until the following Sunday on account of delay in getting the seats in. All persons directly or indirectly interested in the reopening of the Farmers' ditch for the purpose of winter irrigation, are requested to meet at the Orangethorpe school house this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Rev. William Schuldt has settled in Anaheim, and has rented Mr. C. E. Leonard's house. He will preach in the German language every Sunday morning at 11 a.m. at the Masonic hall. All are invited. The natural heat of the past week has been greatly intensified by fires in the mountains. The fires, however, have not, so far, done as much damage, nor have they been so extensive as those of last year. Growers of muscat grapes will be glad to know that Messrs. B. Dreyfus & Co. are prepared to purchase from six hundred to one thousand tons of that variety, and will pay the very highest market price therefor. The Board of Normal School Trustees are considering wheter it would not be better to build the branch school building at Growers of muscat grapes will be glad to know that Messrs. B. Dreyfus & Co. are prepared to purchase from six hundred to one thousand tons of that variety, and will pay the very highest market price therefor. The Board of Normal School Trustees are considering whether it would not be better to build the branch school building at Los Angeles of wood instead of brick, as the price for the latter article is $11,75 per thousand—the lowest bid for supplying brick. The President appears to be benefitted by the change to Long Branch. He is stronger and in better spirits. The physicians do not view the trouble with his lung with apprehension and say that the ball is so encased that it will cause no further trouble for a long time. There has been an extra demand at the lumber yard of A. Guy Smith & Co. recently for fencing material on the part of vineyardists beyond the town limits, against coyotes, which are destroying large quantities of grapes, the white muscats seeming to be a specialty with them. The register of the Planters' Hotel shows that a great many strangers are visiting Anaheim. The low price at which land can be purchased here, and the positive certainty that it will greatly enhance in value within a very short time, is beginning to attract the attention of home seekers. Mr. B. F. Seibert has purchased the building at Anaheim Landing formerly occupied and owned by Jacob Walker, and will keep it for the use of his family whenever they visit the seaside. The contemplated improvements are a porch around the house and the planting of some shade trees. Jesus Leon stabbed and killed Eulogio Olivares on June 11th at a baile in San Juan Capistrano. He had a trial in Judge Sepulveda's court on Tuesday and the jury rendered a verdict of guilty of murder in the second degree, with a recommendation that the judge award the full legal penalty—which may be imprisonment for ninety-nine years. A Chinawoman was tried in Justice Bailey's court Thursday for assault and battery upon a fellow countryman. From the evidence given it appears that the man attempted to break into the woman's room and that the muscular damsel armed herself with a club and whacked the intruder over the head so vigorously that he hauled off for repairs and sticking plaster. The jury acquitted her of the charge. The new school buildings to be erected this year in this county show prosperity among our people. Under the act authorizing districts to issue bonds, El Monte district will have $5,000 and Little Lake district $2,000, for buildings. Maizeland district has just completed a house costing $2,200 and San Gabriel one costing $2,000. Ocean district will raise $1200 and Rosedale $1200, Cienega $400, Newport $1,500 and Mountain View $850 for new school houses and furniture, by direct tax.

Cyrus Lyons of Los Angeles tells us that yesterday was the hottest day of his recollection of Los Angeles. On the Laguna ranch, the sheep were consumed by a mortal thirst, drinking twice as much water as on any day this season, completely draining the wells. It is a curious fact that in Los Angeles the three hottest days of this year came in May and September. The approach of the autumnal equinox here, instead of bringing appalling storms, simply gives us, for a few days, the weather which has distracted the East during the whole summer. Among the exhibits at the Horticultural Fair last week, the Anaheim department received more awards than any other department outside of Los Angeles. There was a large display of wines and brandies, conspicuous among them being those of Messrs. B. Dreyfus & Co., and J. P. Zeyn. Other awards were received by J. E. Pleasants, for best display of honey; S. B. Smith, best windmill; best landscape painting, F. J. J. Schmidt; best peaches, S. L. Chilson; best ten pumpkins, weight 1,600 lbs., J. C. Hill and sons; best watermelons, G. R. Hinde; crab apples, L. Parker. There was quite a sensation at Anaheim Landing on Sunday afternoon. A number of persons were swimming, among them Captain Wilson, who was quite a distance from shore, swimming slowly, without a thought of danger. Some of the party happened to glance in his direction and at that moment they saw the form of a huge-shark near the captain. Six or seven feet of its body was visible to the bathers near the shore, but Wilson was unaware of its presence until the warning cries of his friends reached him. The cries also apparent served to frighten the shark, which went seaward at a rapid rate, and Captain Wilson, it is needless to say, came ashore at a rate scarcely less rapid. Two or three years ago the captain was chased by a shark while rowing a small skiff, and on a previous occasion he narrowly escaped death at the jaws of a sea monster.

The latter are being made of oil and gravel. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Heiman have disposed of their Los Angeles property for $20,000 and are touring Europe. J. H. Enearl of the school trustees requested the establishment of an electric light in the vestibule of the high school building. Granted. Uncle Jake Everhardy was in town on Tuesday afternoon. He has forty acres of beets which are now being harvested and going high in sugar. Louis Denni returned on Friday from a three months' tour of Germany, France and Switzerland. He visited his old home in Switzerland after an absence of 27 years and found many changes. Vineyard lot G. 3, containing four acres, on Los Angeles street south of Santa Ana street, was purchased from J. Trowenfeld of San Francisco for $1200. The new city power house will be erected thereon. Report comes from Los Angeles that Clarence Groat has made a lucky strike in copper in Arizona near the Clark mine at Jerome. Mr. Groat grubstaked a miner, who discovered the mine which is said to be one of the richest in the territory. Los Angeles parties have purchased 140 acres at Garden Grove near the line of the electric railway and will go in for strawberries for the Los Angeles market. Wells are being sunk Auto Taxes Up Nearly 100 Percent Recent proposals to the governor of ways and means of increasing state revenue, including a suggestion that the gasoline tax be raised to four cents a gallon in California, have led to various comments on the existing motor vehicle tax situation. "What does it cost to own and operate an automobile now?" is a question most often presented. A study of the present condition reveals that in California last year motorists paid total taxes of $54,640,200.96. The state's proportion of this comprises approximately 42 percent of its entire revenue. This is nearly double the total paid in 1925, although in that year there were three-fourths as many motor vehicles in use as there are today. Had there been only one million cars in the state in 1925 instead of a million and a half, the increase in taxes would have been proportionate to the increase in cars. However, as it stands, the taxes have increased nearly 100 percent compared with an approximate increase of 42 percent in number of cars. Dictator Stalin says he is going to revise the rules of communism and pay different wages for different kinds of work. Under this rule, of course, he can raise his own salary.

Miss Adele Strodthoff, whose marriage to our popular young fellow townsman Fritz Yungbluth occurs in the fall, was the guest of honor at a kitchen shower at the home of Mrs. Sarah J. Fay yesterday afternoon. A delightful afternoon was participated in by a large number of guests. Mrs. Strodthoff entertained the Ladies' Euchre Club Thursday afternoon at her home on Lemon street. The first prize was won by Miss Theresa Fay, the second by Mrs. Beebe, while the consolation was captured by Mrs. Adams. Dainty refreshments were served at the close of the game. On Sunday the first Santa Ana wind of the season blew up, raising considerable dust and making things generally disagreeable. The blow subsided after an hours duration, but reappeared again on Monday morning, when it continued at intervals until noon. In the San Bernardino valley a high wind prevailed during both days. S. O. Walker was in town from Buena Park this week, extending the glad hand to his many friends hereabout. County Clerk Lester was also in town on a vote-getting canvass of this end of the county. Mr. Lester looks for a total registration in the county of nearly 7000 voters. Two years ago the total registration numbered 5669 and 4970 votes were cast. W. C. Mauerhan is shipping green chiles to Los Angeles for local growers, shipments going as high as a carload and a half daily. He will ship 700 tons of green peppers, which bring growers $25 per ton net, an exceedingly profitable rate. In Los Angeles these chiles are peeled and canned and form a most healthful article of diet. There are also grown hereabout 50 tons of ground chiles, and 150 tons of evaporated peppers, which fetch owners 10 cents per pound. Last year's chile crop brought in $80,000. Mr. Mauerhan states this year's yield will amount to nearly $200,-000. Eight hundred acres are planted to this crop, and next year the area will probably be increased. The directors of the Chamber of Commerce met in regular session on Monday evening. Present: Messrs. Spake, Boege, Clabaugh, Armstrong, Yungbluth and Cailor. Director Armstrong reported that he had prepared a petition to be presented to the city trustees, asking that a fire company be organized. The retail merchants association has endorsed the project and it is desired that the city fathers provide means for its maintenance. The captain of the fire company is to receive $50 per year, and the other members fifty cents a practice twice a month and $2 apiece in case of fire.

Present: Messrs. Spake, Boege, Claibaugh, Armstrong, Yungbluth and Cailor. Director Armstrong reported that he had prepared a petition to be presented to the city trustees, asking that a fire company be organized. The retail merchants association has endorsed the project and it is desired that the city fathers provide means for its maintenance. The captain of the fire company is to receive $50 per year, and the other members fifty cents a practice twice a month and $2 apiece in case of fire. The organization of a fire company would tend to lower insurance rates which are now unusually high. The chairman of the board was empowered to co-operate with the city trustees in the endeavor to receive a Carnegie library. William J. Hill's separator attached to his steam threshing outfit was destroyed by fire while engaged on the McNally ranch on Monday afternoon. The fire was first seen in the straw pile. A high wind prevailed during the way, blowing from the machine towards the engine. It is supposed a spark from the engine ignited the cotton rope with which the mules at work near the separator were hitched and communicated with the straw pile, which was soon ablaze. The engine was at once attached to the separator, which the men tried to haul out of harm's way, but the chain broke time after time. The separator derrick and other apparatus was entirely destroyed. The horses, tool wagon, tanks and harness were saved. The loss is estimated at $2800. Seventeen men were thrown out of employment by the fire. Mr. Hill left immediately for Oakland to purchase a new machine with which to continue the season, which will last for six weeks. The City Trustees met on Thursday evening. Present: Fiscus, Stock and Kroeger; absent: Rust and Darling. Collections reported for August as follows: water, $450.35; electric lights. $567.07; licenses, $554.25; total, $1,571.65. Treasurer's report showed a balance in general fund amounting to $2,846.63. Recorder's court showed 14 cases and fines collected to the amount of $148. T. A. Darling was granted a month's absence to go on a mining expedition. Alfred Seale asked for appointment as inspector of plumbing; application filed. Building permits were granted to Jos. W. Backs Jr. for the erection of a $3,000 residence on Claudina street; William Berdrow, $2,500 residence on Olive, between Broadway and Santa Ana; O. D. Davis, $2,200 residence on Philadelphia between Center and Broadway; F. C. Spencer, $1,-400 residence on West Center street; Aug. F. Gutzman, $400 residence on Emily street. Various other permits for alterations were granted. Anaheim, Calif., Sept. 10, 1931 It has been decided to let Cornwallis surrender again at the Yorktown sequestration this fall. Thus is another grave international question settled without recourse to the World Court. NOTICE INVITING PROPOSALS FOR THE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE, RUBBISH AND WASTE MATERIAL.
