IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a C Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and C 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 19, 1881 The Board of Town Trustees will meet in regular session on Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Chas. S. Miles is in Los Angeles suffering with an attack of typhoid fever. He is, however, improving the attack being light. G. J. Clarke notary public has $60,000 to loan. We wish all the notaries had as much money as Mr. Clark. If they had there would be a newspaper for sale. At the next city election in Los Angeles the voters will be required to vote yes or no upon the question of issuing $50,000 in bonds with which to build a city hall. Th stage from Santa Ana to San Diego leaves the former place at 10:30 p.m. and arrives at 2:30 p.m. This is done it is said in order that the worst part of the road may be traveled in day-light during the winter months. It is not thought there will be any change in the running time of the trains. A very enjoyable social party was given at the Planters' hotel on Saturday evening. Mr. Warren Dunham of Shasta county, brother of "mine host," Col. R. P. Baker and wife and Miss Bandini of Los Angeles participated in the party and thus formed the acquaintance of our people in the most pleasant way. Work on the ditch is progressing rapidly, a force of fifty men being kept steadily on the job. This force will be augmented as soon as the character of the work will justify it.

Mr. Warren Dunham of Shasta county, brother of "mine host," Col. R. P. Baker and wife and Miss Bandini of Los Angeles participated in the party and thus formed the acquaintance of our people in the most pleasant way. Work on the ditch is progressing rapidly, a force of fifty men being kept steadily on the job. This force will be augmented as soon as the character of the work will justify it. Engineer Miller yesterday completed the survey of the ditch from the reservoir to the connecting flume a distance of three miles. The rains have made the river "boom" and the water which comes through the ditches is murky with "slickers", unlike the slimy stuff of that name which the hydraulic miners of the north send down into the valleys, our slickers are fertilizing, and instead of being synonymous with disolation it is enriching to the social and adds new vigor to the orchards on which it is deposited. The new steam pump for the town water-works arrived last week and the work of placing it in position is now going on under the supervision of Mr. Eichler. The shaft to hold the pump is being sunk by Mr. Wille. Running at half its capacity the pump will lift 50,000 gallons of water in ten hours. Anaheim is the most bountifully supplied town on the coast in the matter of domestic water and the water is unexcelled in purity. It gives us no pleasure to record the departure of Mr. E. M. Ferguson, who goes to Oakland next week. His determination to leave here is regretted by his friends whose name is legion. Mr. Lake goes to the Mohave mines, whre he has some promising claims. We wish them both good fortune wherever they may go. (Ferguson and Lake were proprietors of the City Drug store on Center street, opposite the Planters hotel which occupied the corner where Heyings Drug Store now stands). NOTICE TO WATER CONSUMERS Notice is hereby given to all persons who are getting their water supply from the town water works of Anaheim to use sparingly of the water, as the pump will be stopped on Monday, October 31st, until the necessary alterations can be made in replacing the old pump and boiler with a new one.—R. M. Barham, Town Marshal. Mr. S. M. Wren and F. C. Kay, two gentlemen who have been stopping at the Planters hotel for some time, honored us with a visit on Wednesday. The first named gentleman is the one who, together with Messrs Schmidt and Littlefield, will plant 170 acres of vineyard near town the coming season. Mr. Kay intends also to settle here, it is said. We are pleased to learn of their determina-tion to remain here and feel certain of that they will always congratulate themselves on this lines having fallen in such a pleasant place. When Mr. Floyd of El Monte came to the state, his friends in their endeavors to dissuade him drew a picture of the difficul-ties in the way of procuring the necessities of life in what they deemed a drought-stricken barren county. He recalled this episode the other day when he saw a carload of hogs leaving El Monte for Texas. The county of which his old neighbors had such a previous opinion, is sending its products to all parts of the union—we might say to all parts of the world for its success.

He recalled this episode the other day when he saw a carload of hogs leaving El Monte for Texas. The county of which his old neighbors had such a previous opinion, is sending its products to all parts of the union—we might say to all parts of the world, for its preserved and dried fruits are exported to many foreign lands. Slight showers on Monday, heavy showers on Tuesday night and a slight shower on Wednesday night is the rain record of the week up to yesterday morning. Mr. Langenberger's rain gauge recorded 41 hundredths as the fall on Monday and Tuesday and 11 hundredths on Wednesday night which with the 3-hundredths of September 23rd making a total of .55 for the season. The rain has not been heavy enough to do damage to the unharvested grapes although if the showers continue the grapes will undoubtedly burst. The raisin makers whose grapes are still sun-drying are the principal sufferers. We are told that in the neighborhood of Tustin and Orange, the loss in this respect will be considerable. The grass has already started, but as cool damp weather promises to continue for some time no apprehension is felt that the new feed will dry up before another rainfall. The rainfall at Mr. Saxton's place, from the 25th to 7 o'clock a.m. of the 27th, was .69. in Los Angeles it was .59 and in Pasadena 1.87 inches. The town of Maxwell, Colusa county, is small, but enterprising. The citizens have determined to test the question whether artesian water could be had in town and to that end appointed what they call an "Artesian Well Committee" and contributed funds to bore a well. This suggests the query, "why should not a similar step be taken in Anaheim. We would start in with the advantage of having positive knowledge that artesian water does flow beneath us, and the only difficulty to confront is the procurement of machinery that will pierce the intervening boulders. Machinery of this kind can be had in the northern part of the state, and if we mistake not there is an incorporated company which has all the appliances for boring wells and which make a specialty of boring where difficult formations are apt to be encountered. If one citizen favored the scheme and contributed handsomely towards its furtherance and asked the Town Trustees to make an appropriation, the securing of a flowing artesian well would speedily follow. Discuss the matter. William J. F. died at his home, afternoon. Mr. H. was aged 50 years years. He leaves his loss. Intermerced the body was cremated. Miss Bernice 28.

These Files Contain the Only mens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 1, 1906 George Kammerer has returned from the northern oil fields and is engaged in drilling on the Bastenchury ranch. Walter Crowther has resigned the leadership of the city band, his private business affairs claiming his entire attention. Fritz Martin is engaged at the city market during the temporary absence of Otto Baum who is ill at home with fever. Allan Knapp shipped the first carload of lima beans from this point yesterday. The car contained 1500 sacks of beans and is valued at $4,000. Supervisor Linebarger was in from Fullerton on Tuesday on crutches. He is recovering from his injuries sustained in a runaway accident. Messrs. George Syer, Ernest Fickens, Archie Bassestt and Frank White of Pasadena were in town Saturday and Sunday, the guests of Dr. Syer. Charles Ramella is building an eight room bungalow on the 6-acre tract on east Santa Ana street he purchased from Mr. Winney, the dwelling costing $1700. Mr. Ramella recently sold his 2 acre ranch east of town. J. B. Neff went to Hemet on Monday to make arrangements for holding a farmers institute at that place November 19 and 20. One institute will also be held he informs us is at La Habra during the first week in December. Walter Revell and Miss Bertha Thayer were united in mar- MILK A great deal of fuss is being made, especially in New York, over the "spread" between the retail price of bottled, pasteurized milk delivered at the consumer's front door, and the price paid for raw milk to the farmer. Milk delivered under those condition in New York costs the consumer 15 cents a quart. The farmer whose cows produce it, anywhere from a hundred to four hundred miles away, gets from 4 to 6 cents a quart. I don't think the farmer is getting enough for his milk as a rule, but I don't think the city people are paying too much. Milk is the most rapidly perishable product of the farm. It must be marketed almost immediately after it comes from the cow. Even with a huge system for utilization of the unsold surplus, in the form of butter and cheese, there is a high percentage of loss in the handling of milk. I think farmers should get more for their milk, and where they operate their own cooperative creameries they do. In my home county there are two main valleys. In one valley the dairymen sell individually to the big distributors of milk and are now getting about four cents a quart. In the other valley they are organized and they keep the price up close to six cents. RESEARCH Out of one of the big industrial research laboratories there came not long ago a new kind of glue.

Walter Revell and Miss Bertha Thayer were united in marriage at the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Thayer, October 29th. Rev. Haffen officiating, The young couple will make their home in Anaheim. A. C. Spaulding, a prosperous West side rancher was in town on Saturday on a brief business mission. Mr. Spaulding has been giving attention to chili culture as well as other lines of agriculture and reports uniform success at the business. John Francis Holcomb celebrated his sixth birthday yesterday by inviting his young friends to spend the afternoon with him, discussing ice-cream, cakes, candies and lots of other goodies. We stopped the press to say the kids are having a way-up time. Mike Reagan was a business visitor in town from Los Alamitos on Thursday. Mike conducts a hotel at the sugar beet town and has many guests. The factory employs 200 men, runs night and day and is distributing thousands of dollars weekly in all directions. Engineer McMillian has arrived from Honolulu and is in charge of constructing the Yorba reservoir. He is a well known hydraulic engineer and was associated with Engineer Clay Kellogg in construction of the great Hawaii reservoir which has lately been completed. Capts. Williams and Barr and Comrade Llewellyn, Gates and other grizzled veterans of the Civil war went to Fullerton yesterday to attend the annual meeting of the Orange county veterans association. They went in Capt. Williams auto, which was appropriately decorated with flags for the occasion. G. W. Phelps, a cousin of A. W. Phelps of the American Savings bank, has purchased the 180 acre Fowler ranch southeast of town. The consideration is given at $600 per acre. Mr. Phelps has been engaged in the construction of railroads in South America. He expects to make his home here with his family. William J. Fischer a highly respected resident of this city died at his home, corner of Lemon and Chartres streets on Friday afternoon. Mr. Fischer was a native of Saxony, Germany and was aged 50 years. He had been a resident of this city during 29 years. He leaves a widow, three sons and two daughters to mourn his loss. Interment was in Rosedale cemetery, Los Angeles, where the body was cremated. Miss Bernice Tipton departed this life on Saturday, October 28. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Tipton and had been ill many months. Deceased was born at Terre Haute, Indiana February 14, 1888, and was thus in her eighteenth year. RESEARCH Out of one of the big industrial research laboratories there came not long ago a new kind of glue. It fastens leather to leather so firmly that the leather will tear before the cement gives way. It is flexible and water will not affect it. One result of this has been to cheapen the cost of shoes. Twenty or more shoe manufacturers are now making shoes in which the soles are fastened on with this new cement, instead of being sewed on. From the same laboratory there came a preparation which keeps rubber from decaying. The reason your tires last longer than they used to is because the rubber is treated with this substance. New materials which will form the basis of new industries, and make life easier and cheaper, are pouring out of the scientific laboratories in a deepening stream. Science is literally making the world over. LIPTON There have been few more dramatic careers in modern times than that of Sir Thomas Lipton, who died the other day. Born in Ireland of Scottish parents, he started in business on his own account with no capital to speak of, with a little green grocery in Glasgow, while he was still in his teens. He became the world's largest merchant in tea, the friend of royalty, the idol of sportsmen. Sir Thomas once attributed his success to advertising. He was the world's first great advertiser in his line. Because he was "in trade" British nobility sneered at him, but the late King Edward VII put him up for membership in the Mariborough Club, to which nobody is admitted unless proposed by the King. It is not every man of whom it can be said when he passes on that the world is better for his having been with us, but I think that is true of Tom Lipton. MOVIES I talked the other day with one of the gentlemen who are helping Mr. Will H. Hays to try to improve the moral and artistic standards of the movies. He convinced me that the Hays organization is making a sincere and vigorous effort to improve the tone of the picture. Perhaps the time will come when the movies no longer teach the young that "wealth" means the same thing as "happiness" and that "love" is a physiological force like years waistful... William J. Fischer a highly respected resident of this city died at his home, corner of Lemon and Chartres streets on Friday afternoon. Mr. Fischer was a native of Saxony, Germany and was aged 50 years. He had been a resident of this city during 29 years. He leaves a widow, three sons and two daughters to mourn his loss. Interment was in Rosedale cemetery, Los Angeles, where the body was cremated. Miss Bernice Tipton departed this life on Saturday, October 28. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Tipton and had been ill many months. Deceased was born at Terre Haute, Indiana February 14, 1888, and was thus in her eighteenth year. The funeral was held on Monday and was largely attended. Rev. Markel of the Christian church conducted the burial services. High school was dismissed for the day to allow students to attend the services. The ballbearers were Alfred Heying, Lucien Wisser, George Christiansen, Max Carmichael Herbert Newman and John Smale. The Harnmel and Decker estate owners of property cast of Kistler's bakery and extending to Emily street, is considering the erection of a row of brick buildings thereon, and during the week prospective tenants have taken up and discussed the scheme. Parties in town this week have discussed the purchase of the lot at the corner of Emily and Central for the erection of a three story hotel, and it is believed should the deal go through the entire Center street frontage will soon be graced by modern brick structures. The rally of republican candidates at the opera house on Monday evening was the most largely attended and most enthusiastic political meeting held in this city for many years. Cannon firing began before 7 o'clock, and at 7:30 down town streets were ablaze with red fire. The Columbia Marching club accompanied by many Santa Ana citizens came over in a special train, headed by the city band. The club marched through the streets. At 8:15 the opera house was filled to overflowing with the biggest meeting of the campaign. F. C. Spencer presided and introduced the candidates S. O. Walker, for sheriff, first on the list followed by W. B. Williams for county clerk, Cal Lester for recorder, Johnny Lamb for tax-collector, George Smith for public administrator, Prof. Carpenter for county school superintendent, W. G. Potter for county treasurer, George E. Dutton for supervisor, J. S. Howard for township justice, M. H. Litten for constable, S. M. Davis for district attorney and Clyde Bishop for the assembly met with favorable reception and each delivered short addresses. The candidates will have a meeting at the town of Yorba this evening, and on Saturday will make their farwell appearance for this campaign, at the classic town of San Juan Capistrano which will be an fete for the occasion. MOVIES I talked the other day with one of the gentlemen who are, helping Mr. Will H. Hays to try to improve the moral and artistic standards of the movies. He convinced me that the Haya organization is making a sincere and vigorous effort to improve the tone of the picture. Perhaps the time will come when the movies no longer teach the young that "wealth" means the same thing as "happiness" and that "love" is a physiological term. There is drama and comedy enough in the lives of decent, ordinary folk who are struggling against heavy odds to make all the movies the world needs for all time to come. WHISTLING Professor Charles Gray Shaw of New York University said the other day that men who whistle are of low intelligence. I agree that most whistlers are of low musical ability, but I think Professor Shaw was talking about something on which he is not informed. The urge to produce music exists in nine-tenths of the human race. The majority of men take it out in whistling. It is almost instinctive for a man to whistle when he is alone, especially in the country. There is an old expression, "whistling to keep your courage up," which is not without sound foundation. On a lonely road in the silent night the sound of one's own whistling is a relief from the sense of isolation. What Professor Shaw probably meant is that the man who whistles where it can annoy other people is of low intelligence. One of the first things a printer's apprentice learns is that he will get a clout on the head if he perms in whistling around the shop. The Democrats might blame the grasshopper plague on to President Hoover but we are doubtful whether even Pat Harrison would have the heart to charge him with the locusts that are ravaging the wheat fields down in Argentine. An Arkansas mathematician has triected an angle with a compass and straight edge. Now if he will just solve the problem of what to do with the sun, then we will be getting somewhere.

Except Monday and Fridays From two yards of material you can make a most useful and attractive apron that you will find most useful for yourself or that may be used for a gift or a contribution to a charity sale or bazaar. You will need two yards if the material is 20 inches wide or one yard if it is at least 40 inches wide. The patterns for back and front of the apron are precisely alike. It is best to cut a paper pattern of the shape and size needed before cutting the material. You will need a piece of paper thirty-five inches long. Mark the upper corner A and the lower corner B. Draw a line at right angles at A, measure along this line three inches and mark J, measure two inches more and mark I—so that from A to I is five inches. Now from A measure ten inches down and mark C, measure another ten inches and mark D. This makes the distance from D to B fifteen inches. Draw a line at right angles at C measure six inches and mark H. Make another line at right angles at D, measure seven inches and mark G and then measure three inches more and mark F. A line from I to G should pass through H. Draw a perpendicular line at B and mark E, eleven inches up. Curve a line from F to B as indicated. This makes half of the front or back and CB should be cut on a lengthwise fold of material. In cutting your material allow half an inch for seams and hems or cut longer if a fairly long apron is wanted. Join back and front at JI. Turn a narrow hem along edges and stitch or finish with blanket stitch or blind. The sides of the apron lap over and button or snap as shown in the sketch. Once in awhile some pessimist tells us that boys are not as husky and masculine as they used to be and we always like to remind him that twenty-five years ago the young men wore chirt-waists. DEAF?
