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 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 12, 1881 A dispatch from Athens says the statue of Lord Byron has been unveiled at Missolorghi, where he died. The ceremony was attended by great enthusiasm. Grape crushing still continues at the establishment of B. Dreyfus & Co. but it will soon close for the season. In a week or two we will be able to announce the result of the year's vintage. The 24th has been named by Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States as a day of National Thanksgiving and prayer. The proclamation was signed by Jas. G. Blaine, Secretary of State. The Union Bears band have ordered uniforms for the members and they expect to don then in about two weeks. The band is highly prosperous and it proposes to adopt every improvement which may keep up its efficiency. The number of applicants for wharf franchises at Wilmington continues to increase. The list up-to-date is given: Walter S. Maxwell, E. N. McDonald, G. F. McLellan, Charles H. Simkins, A. H. Denker, Daniel Ullman, Perry & Nordworth, Manuel Domingues, Thos. E. Rowen, Phineas Banning. Mr. A. J. Sanders of Orange who has been constructing the bulk head and sand gate on the Anaheim Water company's new ditch, says that Anaheim will have as good a ditch as there is in the state. The soil on the route traversed is in the main compact and hard, making the loss by seepage very slight. This office is indebted to Mr. F. Upson of Centralia for a basketful of yellow Bellflower apples, which for size and flavor Mr. A. J. Sanders of Orange who has been constructing the bulk head and sand gate on the Anaheim Water company's new ditch, says that Anaheim will have as good a ditch as there is in the state. The soil on the route traversed is in the main compact and hard, making the loss by seepage very slight. This office is indebted to Mr. F. Upson of Centralia for a basketful of yellow Bellflower apples, which for size and flavor were unsurpassable. Mr. Upson has one of the choicest orchards in the district. As he desired to remove to another piece of property which he owns, his Centralia farm is on the market for a purchaser. The lighters and all other property of the Anaheim Lighter company have been purchased by Mr. Ben Dreyfuss and Messrs A. Guy Smith & Co. thus check-mating the little game of the railroad company. The purchasers have not yet agreed upon a plan of action, nor is the transfer fully consummated. We presume the public will be placed in possession of the details in due time. Mr. E. J. Pellegrin, who for some years past has been foreman of the Gazette office is laid up with an acute attack of rheumatism, which his physician says is partly due to the effects of type metal. He has therefore decided to abandon the printing trade. Mr. Pelligrin was one of the most faithful and efficient workmen which this office ever had. We hope for his speedy return to good health, and his future prosperity. The Arizona Star of recent date says: Mr. Fred Rimpau of Anaheim, California arrived from Sonora yesterday, and while there he visited Magdelene, Ures, Cucurps and other places. He will return in about fifteen days accompanied by San Francisco parties, for the purpose of selling the San Pedro mine, in Urez district, of which he owns a half interest. The sale is to be for $15,-000. Mr. Rimpau has interests in several mines in Sonora. Mr. L. F. Lewis of the City Stables had the misfortune to lose a valuable horse on last Saturday. The animal was loose in the rear of the stables and fell into an old well, the existence of which had been forgotten. A large force of volunteers set to work with shovels to rescue the horse but it died before it could be reached. The body was removed with considerable difficulty, so tightly was it wedged into the well. It was a promising young horse and was valued by the owner at $200. The Boston Post considers that as a champion patent Edison is maintaining his record. His good fortune at Paris has been mentioned and the weekly issue of patents at Washington shows that he is credited with twenty-two granted. Of these twenty relate to devises connected with his electric system of light, making sixty now issued to him relating to that system. Edison has taken out more patents from the patent office than any single inventor. Including the twenty-two just issued he has in all been granted 209 patents in all subjects, including, of course the electric light, and the records show that he has over 100 additional awaiting the decision of the commissioner of patents, a majority of which will, no doubt be allowed.

He could almost run a patent office himself. Another ineffectual attempt was made on Saturday about noon to capture Moreno, the horsethief who is wanted in Ventura county. Moreno was seen in Sonora town by Deputy Sheriff Berry, at a place near Naud's ranchhouse as he was coming from the Arroya Seco. He hastened to the sheriff's office and securing the aid of Deputies Huber and Banetto, the three started to capture the outlaw. A Mexican who knew Berry, seeing him riding in the direction of the house in which he was, warned Moreno, who mounted his horse and rode off, Barretto firing once and Huber three shots at him without effect. Berry then came up and rode in pursuit of Moreno, firing five shots at him, three of which were returned by the fleeing robber, who being better mounted than his pursuer made good his escape. This is the fourth attempt that has been made to capture Moreno, in each of which sufficient powder and ball has been wasted to start a small ammunition store. A gentleman living in Orange County Florida writes that he has seen the Gazette pamphlet descriptive of Anaheim, and was favorably impressed. He asks prices of lands, house rent and also wishes to know if he should bring with him different varieties of fruits which he raises there such as pineapple, bananas, sand peas etc. The price of land hereabout varies greatly. First class unimproved land can be had around Anaheim for from $25 to $50 per acre, but values are going up. The perfection of our irrigating system and the increased immigration is certain to greatly increase the price of land. There are several houses to rent at present. It may be different when our correspondent reaches here. There is a good hotel however, where every accommodation can be had at a small cost. All the fine varieties of oranges are grown here. Guavas, pineapples and bananas can be had from any nurseryman, but they are not grown for profit in this state. The best way is to come here, study the county and send back to Florida for anything which may be lacking and which that state can supply. But he will likely find here everything necessary. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Records of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 15, 1906 Miss Ella Rae, Miss Mary Grim and Miss Edith Wallop attended the opera in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon and evening. Crockett Bowers of Santa Ana has been chosen to succeed the late J. M. Griffith as president of the lumber company of that name. The headquarters office has been moved from Los Angeles to Santa Ana. Mrs. Melrose and Mrs. Arthur Lewis attended a card party at the home of Mrs. L. F. Lewis in Los Angeles on Thursday last. Mrs. Lewis won the guest prize. The ladies returned home on the evening train after a very pleasant afternoon. The editor a couple of weeks ago purchased a cord of dry wood. It has disappeared from the woodshed and he will bet a horse it was not used in the editorial stove. He will buy no more, and will go without, to get even with the other fellow. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Speedlie of San Francisco and Mrs. Joseph Casson and son of Oakland have been the guests for two weeks past of Mr. and Mrs. J. Casson of this city. Mrs. Speedlie is a niece of Mr. Casson and Mrs. Frank Casson, his sister-in-law. Articles of incorporation have been filed by the Remington Hill Mining company. Fullerton is named as the principal place of business and the capital stock is down from $50,000. The directors chosen are Messrs E. K. Benchle, C. C. Chapman, W. A. Barnes, W. L. Benchley and E. J. Marler. All of Fullerton. P. F. Wilson who for some months now has been manager of the Sunset telephone system here has been transferred to Santa Ana. Affairs of Week at Nation's Capital (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Free spenders of Government money are wearing a harnessed look these days, particularly Secretary of the Navy Charles T. Adams, who has had to bow to the President's dictum that he lop $61,000,000 off the naval estimates. It is said by the gossipers here that he did not take the cut kindly and had many objections to raise. The net result of his kicks was that he made the slice, as ordered. Secretary Adams is only one of many who have suffered but his case is, perhaps, the most glaring, particularly because of the spotlight that is being cast upon the enormous expenditures being made by European governments on their land, sea and air forces. The Secretary is said to have pointed out the dangers of unpreparedness to Mr. Hoover but all the answer he got in return was the order to stop what the President called unnecessary spending. It is well known here that Mr. Hoover has definitely put down his foot on all proposals that mean added expenditures and that all those close to him have found that he is not to be tricked into letting up on them. Most of the taxpayers in the country fail to appreciate the exact position of Cabinet officers. Few realize that the men who sit in with the President at the Cabinet meetings have less actual power than almost any set of men in the Government. They are there for the simple purpose of advising their Chief, who makes decisions which are then carried out. Cabinet officers are merely the President's appointees and can be dismissed at any time. The United States comes nearer to being an absolute monarchy than al- Articles of incorporation have been filed by the Remington Hill Mining company. Fullerton is named as the principal place of business and the capital stock is down for $50,000. The directors chosen are Messrs E. K. Benchler, C. C. Chapman, W. A. Barnes, W. L. Benchley and E. J. Marsh. All of Fullerton. P. F. Wilson who for some months has been manager of the Sunset telephone system here has been transferred to Santa Ana where he goes into the construction department. He will be succeeded by J. F. Alhborn. The efficient force of "hello-girls" remains the same and includes Miss Lizzie McAuley, Miss L. Becker, Miss M. Pratt and Miss L. Weelke. Mrs. Asher entertained the ladies eucher club at her home on Broadway Thursday afternoon. Refreshments were served during the afternoon and after an interesting game, prizes were awarded as follows: The first prize a handsome drawn-work tea cloth to Mrs. Melrose; second prize a Japanese vase to Mrs. Strvdthoff; the consolation a drawn work doily to Mrs. A. Rimpau. The Home Telephone company has thirty men employed in stringing wires for its new system in this city. It has also twenty men engaged in similar work in Fullerton. The new company will occupy temporary quarters for its headquarters office in rooms over Dickels store until the erection of its new reinforced concrete building adjoining the postoffice, work upon which will begin in a few days. M. Good was in from La Habra this week. He states he has paid the final assessment of 82 per acre upon his holdings for the purchase of right-of-way for the electric railway and that work upon its construction will begin in the near future. The line approaches to within a short distance of his ranch and he confidently believes the trolley will double the value of his twenty-acre tract in a year. A merry party of high school students spent Saturday and Sunday at Newport Beach. They went down on the 6 o'clock train on Friday evening and returned on Sunday evening. In the party were Leah Lawrence Edna Wilde and Mrs. Wilde, Blanch Mickle, Lulu Goble, Grace Nelson, Minnie Christensen, Lucien Wisser, Roy Firebanch, Alfred Huying, Max Carmichael, John Smale, Herbert Newman and George Christensen. Anaheim and Santa Ana high schools will debate at Music hall in this city on Friday evening, the question, "Resolved That the United States should provide and maintain a navy as large and effective as any in the world." Anaheim takes the negative and will be represented by John Smale and Max Carmichael. Santa Ana will be represented by Claude Martin and Stanley Reinhaus. The judge will be W. P. Carpenter of Fullerton; Tully C. Knolles, U. S. C., and Mark B. Beal. Occidental. The entertainment given by the Council of the Knights of Columbus at Odd Fellows hall on Wednesday evening of last week was the most enjoyable heard here this season. J.T. Shea acted as master of ceremonies and arranged a program with clever hall in this city on Friday evening, the question, "Resolved That the United States should provide and maintain a navy as large and effective as any in the world." Anaheim takes the negative and will be represented by John Smale and Max Carmichael. Santa Ana will be represented by Claude Martin and Stanley Reinhaus. The judge will be W. R. Carpenter of Fullerton, Tully C. Knolles, U. S. C., and Mark B. Beal, Occidental. The entertainment given by the Council of the Knights of Columbus at Odd Fellows hall on Wednesday evening of last week was the most enjoyable heard here this season. J.T. Shea acted as master of ceremonies and arranged a program with clever performances. The piano playing of the Misses Rimpau was one of the best numbers while the singing of the Misses Kennedy and Mrs. Carroll evoked loud applause. Mr. Dickel never sang better and had to respond to an encore. Miss May Callahan of Los Angeles, captivated the audience with her singing. Rev. Father Dubble delivered an interesting address, coupled with witty reference to matters under discussion. The new hotel Bixby in course of erection at Long Beach was the scene on Friday morning last of the killing of eleven men by the collapse of a portion of the structure. Telephone reports were to the effect that the foundation of the hotel had given way because of quakes and that probably the whole structure would fall. Reports in the daily press were absurdly magnified. The wreck was caused by the removal of supports from stud girders resting upon green cement. Estimates of the amount of damage ran as high as $100,000, but the amount will probably not exceed $25,-000. The hotel is situated upon the beach three blocks west of the pier and will when completed cost $300,000. Work upon the hotel will be prosecuted with vigor and it will probably be completed early in the new year. The committee in charge of the work of preparing for Orange county's parade of products, which will be celebrated at Santa Ana on December 5th are meeting with gratifying success in every department of their work. So heartily in favor of making the coming celebration a success have the people of Orange county shown themselves that we feel perfectly confident that it can and will be made the best advertisement Orange county has ever had. With much better railway facilities than ever before we are now in a position to bring many thousands of people from Los Angeles and vicinity. Our chief effort shall be to prepare convincing and abundant evidence of the extent and variety of our resources. To that end the committees are bending every effort and in this work they earnestly solicit your aid and cooperation with the assurance that this is an effort for the upbuilding of the whole county and one in which the people of every part of the county will find it to their interest to join.

One certain effect that will result from President Hoover's economy budget is that a chorus of complaint will arise from the coteries of admirals, major generals and permanent under secretaries of the various Washington bureaucats. Only a few months ago the Government clamped down on interviews that the "brass hats" like to give out in the public press. Major General Smedley D. Butler's utterances a few months ago came near coating that fire-eating marine his official head. There will be no such restriction on him from now on, as he is about to go on the retired list and from that desirable position can speak his mind freely. It is being predicted here that Gen. Butler will be a particular favorite with lecture audiences this winter. Uniformed men still in the service, however, are prevented from commenting or lobbying for financial relief. Only a short time ago Congress passed laws providing for instant dismissal from the service of the Government of any man found guilty of spreading propaganda or lobbying against the orders of those in authority. They are only permitted to address criticism to the Director of the Budget, an official who is completely under the thumb of the executive branch, or to their immediate superiors, who can act only through the President. Years ago all Congressmen were drowned out by the demands of civil service bureau chiefs and leaders of the armed forces for increased appropriations Their incessant lobbying finally interfered with the orderly pro- States comes nearer to monarchy than all world powers. It is try, not unlike that of men and other so-called clean powers. The only the President is Conolly the Senate, which appropriations and kill any other branch of the government. But when the wars that spending be most impossible for any ruling. Mr. Hoover has a career of economy avoid an increase in a condition that would to the disadvantage of Party when it goes be with an appeal to be sever. Years ago all Congressmen were drowned out by the demands of civil service bureau chiefs and leaders of the armed forces for increased appropriations Their incessant lobbying finally interfered with the orderly processes of legislation and Capitol Hill replied by putting up the bars against all lobbyists on the public payroll Since then several bureau chiefs have lost their official lives as a consequence and the evil has practically ceased to exist. When it is realized that there are roughly about three-quarters of a million people on the Government payroll, all of whom want to see their pay increased or their powers added to by increased appropriations. It can be seen that Capitol Hill took the only logical action to stop the underground attacks on the public parse. At that time the opinion was freely expressed by Congressmen that there are too many on the civil service payroll.
