IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 15, 1881. Mr. Charles Engler and wife arrived in Anaheim on Thursday with the intention of settling here. They are guests of their friend Mr. H. C. Gade. We understand that Capt. Geo. C. Knox, formerly of Anaheim has been appointed superintendent of construction on the Texas Pacific now building in the vicinity of El Paso, N. M. According to a census bulletin received at this office there were 84 acres planted in tobacco in 1880 from which were produce 73,317 pounds. Los Angeles county produced 8200 pounds. The trustees of the State Normal School have decided to construct the branch school of brick, instead of wood and have awarded the contract for 700,000 bricks to Thos Goss of Los Angeles at $9.75 per thousand. The state and county tax in Alameda county for the fiscal year 1881-82 is $1.40 on the $100; in San Jiaquin county $1.30. In Sacramento county, $1.70; San Luis Obispo $2.32; San Bernardino $1.78; Napa $2. Venture $2. The Masons have lifted up the lower half of the Masonic building with a stage, dressing rooms, benches, etc. to be used as a public hall. Rev. Mr. Stachle will probably hold German services in the new hall every Sunday. Mr. Alexander Henry returned on Thursday after an absence of thirteen months during which time he has been in Alaska and The Masons have fitted up the lower half of the Masonic building with a stage, dressing rooms, benches, etc. to be used as a public hall. Rev. Mr. Staehle will probably hold German services in the new hall every Sunday. Mr. Alexander Henry returned on Thursday after an absence of thirteen months during which time he has been in Alaska and on the Mexican coast. He is steward of the Schooner Ino, and the vessel now being on the dry dock at San Francisco. The famous Stearns Ranches have thousands of acres of choice land suitable for apple orards, and for sale at low prices. The apple crop has been largely overlooked in Southern California but is one of the great factors in the prosperity of our county and we are glad to see it beginning to receive proper attention here. Three English vessels, Princess Louise, Margaret Heald and Maggie E Reed are now taking on cargo of wheat at Wilmington for European ports. The traffic between San Francisco and way stations via Los Angeles to the east amounts to 350 cars daily. Freight between San Francisco and Chicago in some instances now passes through Los Angeles. It will be remembered that about a year ago four men went on a burglarious raid around the Mission San Gabriel and Pomona and Anaheim creating quite a scare. Three of them were arrested soon after the robberies, but the fourth, a man by the name of Jim White escaped detection until the other day he was arrested in Pomona and is now in jail awaiting examination. Our courts are unusually busy just now. During the week up to yesterday ten or twelve arrests were made—mostly drunks. In Justice Bailey's court, during the same time, the following proceedings were had: One for battery, one for assault, one for discharging firearms in the streets, one for embezzlement and a civil suit for damages. Lee Ahr was arrested for peddling without a license, and another disciple of Confusius was brought up on a charge of hitting a small boy with a brick-bat. The aggressor was charged $8.25 for his little diversion. Our citizens do well to take a few extra precautions in securing their doors and windows for the night. Two or three probable attempts at burglary have been nipped in the bud during the past week, as if were, by accident. The annual vintage always attracts into town a number of idlers of all sorts, besides the Chinese and Indians. The latter as soon as they receive their week's pay are apt to get drunk and are then ready for all sorts of mischief. Several suspicious looking characters are lounging about the streets apparently without means of support; and unwilling to work, and although they have not been detected in any unlawful acts as yet, it behoves our citizens to take all possible precautions to guard their property. The cheapest lands in Southern Capifornia are those which are offered for sale in the vicinity of Anaheim. The owners of The cheapest lands in Southern Capifornia are those which are offered for sale in the vicinity of Anaheim. The owners of the Stearns Ranches are selling their land at from $25 an acre upward and there are thousands of acres at that price which are in the highest degree adapted to the growth of vines and semitropic fruits. With the facilities for irrigation which will be hereafter provided, there is nothing risked in predicting larger sales of the land in the near future, and if they do not double in value within the next twelve months, then many people besides ourselves are greviously mistaken. We hope to be in a position next week to givev to the public full details of what the Anaheim Water Company propose to do to insure a steady and abundant water supply to its stockholders. It is probable that in a few days the work of the surveyor and the various negotiations which have been pending for some time, will have reached a state of forwardness that will permit of the publication of the plans of the company. A meeting of the ladies of St. Michaels church was held at the rectory on Thursday afternoon to lay out the work for a fair and entertainment to come off the latter part of November. The trustees of the church wish to have the church painted this fall, and there is a considerable sum in the treasury for that purpose, the proceeds of the Easter offering. The ladies are anxious to carry out the suggestion of the late rector, the Rev. Mr. Trew, and procure a bell. They are confident that the people of Anaheim and vicinity will take some interest in both these objects. A rusty dilapidated looking church indicates a lack of public interest in religious matters. A sweet-foned bell-ringing chierily on Sunday morning revives happy memories of days gone by to many who perhaps rarely go to church. The members of the mission and their friends hope to produce a six hundred pound bell. For this and the balance needed for painting, they want to raise three hundred dollars. They propose to furnish a dinner and supper, and to offer for sale a variety of useful articles—chiefly wearing apparel. They solicit orders for ladies underwear, children's clothing, etc. to be made at the meetings which they propose to hold weekly. Orders may be sent by letter or given in person to Mrs. J. A. Emery, Los Angeles street, Anaheim. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 18, 1906. County Treasurer Potter was over from Santa Ana the first of the week accompanied by Charley Vanderlip, Herman Dickel has had the interior of his store repainted and its appearance otherwise renovated and improved. F. W. Fleischman made a trip to El Toro some days ago to purchase a consignment of fat cattle for his wholesale market. L. Nemetz has just received a building permit for a residence to cost $1600 to be started immediately on lot 6 of the Nemetz tract fronting Olive near Center. Plans and specifications of the Wilborn Wallop residence are in the market for estimates. The architect states the cost of the buildings will be from $2500 to $3000. Supt. Lawrence of the Los Alamitos sugar factory was in town a day or two ago... He expects to run the factory until December, and looks forward to a record season. F. P. Nickey was in the Bell line of touring cars in town on Friday acting as chaufeur to a party of big medicine men. Mr. Mickey squared accounts by appearing in the Gillette parade yesterday. Mrs. Harry Dyer returned on Sunday from Denver, where she had been called on account of the illness of her sister, after an absence of several weeks. Her sister is improving in health and will soon be entirely recovered. George Hagar of the province of Miraflores was in town on Friday morning. George says he is still a Democrat, but could not come to the Bell meeting because Mrs. Hagar desired the On the Sidewalks of New York By OBSERVER (Correspondence & The Gazette) THRILL OF A LIFETIME There is just one spot in all New York City that cannot be missed by any visitor who really wants to see the town. That is the top of the Empire State Building. That other people have the same idea is shown by the fact that visitors there are running around two million a year. Don't get there on a holiday. You will get into a crush like the subway in rush hours. Other violets have become famous all over the world. The London Monument and St. Paul's Cathedral have stirred poets to song; the Elffel Tower has drained the powers of descriptive artists; millions have stood in awe at the tops of the Swiss Alps; the Canadian Rockies or Pike's Peak. To my way of thinking, having seen most of the others, Al Smith's building tops them all for a thrill. MAN'S HIGHEST STRUCTURE The Empire State is the tallest building in the world. The first elevator shoots you up 80 stories in about half a minute. Coming down you find your cars have been "clogged" by the sudden change in air pressure and you legs are wobbly. Otherwise it seems like just another elevator. After you get out of that car you take another to the 86th story, and then still another to the 102nd floor over 1200 feet above the sidewalk. You can lean over and see it, two block away and a quarter of a mile down, but even the big Fifth Avenue buses look like beetles. The height dwindles everything into miniature. Even the big bridge look like spans across a creek—until you notice the skyscrapers near them none of which is in a class with the ones you are one. Mrs. Harry Dyer returned on Sunday from Denver, where she had been called on account of the illness of her sister, after an absence of several weeks. Her sister is improving in health and will soon be entirely recovered. George Hagar of the province of Miraflores was in town on Friday morning. George says he is still a Democrat, but could not come to the Bell meeting because Mrs. Hagar desired the horse and buggy to make several calls on friends. James S. Rice of Tustin, well known throughout Southern California as a leading citizen of Orange county was in town on Friday to attend the Bell meeting. Mr. Rice is a brother-in-law of C. A. Barlow, democratic nominee for congress in this district. Upward of twenty new residences are building in this city, while plans are being completed for several others. One contractor is building five and has plans for four more. Another is building four and has plans ready for three. The cost ranges from $1500 to $5000. Mrs. Arthur Lewis entertained the Ladies Euchre club at her new home on Charles street on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Stovdthoff won the first prize, Mrs. Hartung the second and Mrs. Adams the consolation. Refreshments were served during the afternoon and a pleasant time was spent by those present. Theodore A. Bell, democratic nominee for governor, spoke briefly to a small audience on the streets on Friday afternoon. He was accompanied by a party in eight autos, comprising the democratic county candidates and local party chiefs. The meeting was at 2 in the afternoon. Mr. Bell was introduced to business men about town by Committeeman Schneider. Richard O'Neal is said to have turned down an offer of $5,000,000 for his Santa Margarita ranch, which consists of 225,000 acres situated in Orange, San Diego and Riverside counties. The ranch has a sea coast frontage of twenty odd miles and is regarded as probably the most valuable single holding of real estate in Southern California. An effort recently to secure a right-of-way for an electric line through the ranch was unsuccessful, and it is said a Huntington syndicate is back of the offer to buy outright. O'Neal is said to have laughed at the offer. Stockholders in the German-American bank assembled on Wednesday, October 11, when the following board of directors was elected for the ensuing year: Joseph Helman, Ed Michod, A. Nagel, Tim Carroll, Dr. J. L. Beebe, Edwin Barr, W. A. Bonynge, W. McLaughlin, H. W. Chynowith. The annual report showed the bank to be in excellent condition, and that it is now paying expenses and 5 per cent on its capital stock. The new board of directors organized by electing H. W. Chynowith, president, Jos Helmen vice-president and Chas A. Boege, secretary and cashier. A fire on the Bixby ranch, in the foot hills above Olive on Tuesday of last week burned over 3000 acres of feed, destroying it and entailing damages to the extent of $4000. It was caused, so Foreman Wilson of the ranch states, by sparks from a passing just another elevator. After you get out of that car you take another to the 88th story, and then still another to the 102nd floor over 1200 feet above the sidewalk. You can lean over and see it, two blocks away and a quarter of a mile down, but even the big Fifth Avenue buses look like beetles. The height dwindles everything into miniature. Even the big bridge look like spans across a creek—until you notice the skyscrapers near them none of which is in a class with the one you are one. HONORS REAL HEROES All other famous buildings have the names of the owners or architects well played up! The Empire State different. One sees on all sides pictures of the men who made the building possible. And one notices that they are workmen; the blasters of the cellar, the men who rode the whirlwind when the steel girders were rising, the masons who laid the stone walls at giddy heights, and the engineers who braved cataclysmic falls when they proved up the steel and stone as they soared into the empirean. For the first time the hornyhanded toller is honored for pursuing his ordinary vocations while risking his life every hour of the day. The champion workers have their names cast in bronze in the lobby. A fitting honor for future generations to see. SANDY HOOK The day we went up was a clear one. To the north one could see Bear Mountain, behind which lies West Point fifty miles away. The hille for miles beyond that were in clear view. Looking over the ground one could trace Washington's campaigns. Memories of Major Andre, the White Plains battle, Washington Irving's country with Sleepy Hollow and the Headless foresman and Rip Van Winkle all were recalled. It's a spot for a dreamer who knows history. In all the world, perhaps there is no one place where one can call up as many memories as that view to the north. SANDY HOOK Southwardly lies New York Bay, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and far in the background, Sandy Hook—the last point of land the vessels to Europe pass. One can see ocean-goin steamships put out from their Hudson River pliers and nose their way downstream to the broad ocean. You notice the bustling little tug-dodging about; the lumbering ferrie shouldering their way from shore to shore. And the eye can reach to the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania along the Connecticut shore. Long Island's thousands of "necks," or minature bays and perennials. was elected for the ensuing year: Joseph Helman, Ed Michod, A. Nagel, Tim Carroll, Dr, J. L. Beebe, Edwin Barr, W. A. Bonynge, W. McLaughlin, H. W. Chynowith. The annual report showed the bank to be in excellent condition, and that it is now paying expenses and 5 per cent on its capital stock. The new board of directors organized by electing H. W. Chynowith, president, Jos Helmen vice-president and Chas A. Boege, secretary and cashier. A fire on the Bixby ranch, in the foot hills above Olive on Tuesday of last week burned over 3000 acres of feed, destroying it and entailing damages to the extent of $4000. It was caused, so Foreman Wilson of the ranch states, by sparks from a passing locomotive. It was discovered about 1 o'clock in the afternoon and although the entire ranch force and many of the neighboring ranches responded quickly doing everything possible to quell the flames, the fire burned until Thursday noon. It was one of the worst fires in the history of Orange county. Mr. Wilson estimates there are 700 head of stock on the ranch and believes there is sufficient feed remaining to carry them through the season. A largely attended meeting of citizens of Anaheim and vicinity was held at the city hall on Tuesday evening in response to a call for the purpose of forming a good roads club. A strong delegation was present from Fullerton to assist in the organization of the club as well as a number from Santa Ana. H. A. Dickel president and P. H. Krick acted secretary, Frank Ey and Rev. Wharton of Santa Ana made a strong talk in favor of good roads. C. C. Chapman made a sensible talk upon the necessity for good roads. Every thousand dollars spent by a good roads club will bring $10,000 in return. Orange county is noted for its bad roads. Father Dubble read a scholarly tuatise upon the life and work of Father Dubble read a scholarly treatise upon the life and work of he said in all probability passed over the identical route through this city selected for El Caminos Real. W. W. Kerr, president of the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce gave pointers as to the manner of organizing the club. Upon organizing the club Pete Weisel was elected president. George E. Dutton vice-president and R. H. Krick temporary secretary-treasurer. Constitution and by-laws were adopted and a committee to solicit new members appointed as follows: O. M. Skinner, H Stern, W. H. Spake, F. Baum, C. A. Boege and Capt. Williams. Forty members signed the roll, paying a dollar fee. The club adjourned to meet the evening of the last Friday in the month when standing committees will be appointed. Among the delegation of 25 from Fullerton were C. C. Chapman, W. T. Brown, W. W. Kerr, Dr. Freeman, Wm. Starbuck, Editor Hitchcock, Postmaster Tressler, P. A, Schumacher, Messrs Dean, Good, Wyman and others. Beginning each day at 12 m., and continuing 10 minutes, talks of interest to farmers, growers and producers will be given during the week beginning October 12, under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service, cooperating with radio station KFI, as follows: October 12—"Improving Citrus Orchard Efficiency." A. G. Salter, Assistant Farm Advisor, Los Angeles County. October 13—"Southern California Crops," Ross Cast, Agricultural Department, Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. October 14—"Cotton Is Out." B. A Harrigan, Agricultural Commissioner Imperial County. October 15—"A Forest Rangers' Dream." Guerdon Ellis, Assistant Forest Supervisor. October 16—"Irrigation of Walnut Orchards Following Harvest." M. H Kimball, Assistant Farm Advisor, Los Angeles County. According to the Associated Press Holland is less affected by the depression than other nations. Maybe this is partly due to the fact that the Dutch are supposed not to have very keen imaginations. If those Southern Legislatures really want to cut down the cotton crop next year why don't they encourage the boll weevil industry? Warning Against Irrigation Costs BY HAROLD E. WAHLBERG Orange County Farm Advisor It is well to economize and reduce production costs wherever possible when it can be done to effect better production or maintain good production and quality. But any material cuts in costs that will impair the yield and quality of the crop and the vigor of the tree cannot be classed in the category of economy. In reviewing the production cost reports of growers in Orange county during the past few years, many instances have come to notice where excessive expenditures in the use of fertilizers and water and other materials have occurred. By more judicious selection of fertilizer materials in some cases, a more intelligent use of water in other cases, and more conservative cultivation by many growers, a logical saving could and has been made. But care should be taken, paw not to go too far in the other direction. The present depression with its almost universal unsatisfactory restraint to the producer, has probably overemphasized the practice of economy in the orchard. We are finding many orchards that will go without fertilizer this fall and others that will suffer for the lack of water. Such is poor economy, and short sightedness. Care for the Future Just now it is important that the citrus orchard should have an amply supply of moisture when we may expect the annual recurrence of desert winds at any time. These dry weathering winds are severe on the tree. An ample supply of soil moisture in the orchard prior to the windstorms will reduce the extent of damage to the tree. I realize it is unpopular to talk about spending money when there is little if any to spend on the basis of this year's farm returns, but the fallacy of allowing trees to suffer permanent injury from a temporary economic situation should be pointed out to the industry at this time.
