IN THE DAYS OF 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 When one reflects upon the success which has attended Anaheim—the pioneer colony of California—he finds it hard to account for the fact that there are not fifty or more similar colonies in the state. No better system for the procurement of rural homes has been suggested than that pursued by the original colonists and their example ought, even at this late day, to be extensively imitated. In a descriptive article, which we wrote some years ago occurs the following paragraph which describes in a few words the colonial plan: "In 1857 a number of residents of San Francisco of German extraction purchased a total of 1165 acres twenty-seven miles southeast of Los Angeles, for which they paid $2 a acre. The tract was divided into fifty twenty-acre lots and fifty house lots, 140x181 1-2 feet. A superintendent was engaged, and under his supervision eight acres of each lot was planted in vines, the lots were fenced in with willow-trees and an irrigating canal was made from the Santa Ana river to the colony. While all this was being done, the stockholders pursued their usual avocations in San Francisco and distribution of the lots was not made until 1859. Each stockholder had at that time paid assessment to the amount of $1400 The lots were viewed and assessed at a price varying from $1840 to $475—the location, quality of soil and relative growth of vines determining the value of each particular lot. The average cost of the lots was $1300." A dispatch from Washington says: At the adjourned meeting of the Senate select committee on the Rights of Women, today a large number of senators and representatives were present to see the chosen champions of women's suffrage cause and hear their arguments. Addresses were made by Matilda Joslyn Gage, Lillie Devereaux Blake, Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Isabel Beecher Hooker, Mrs. Stanton's speech was especially elaborate and forcible.

Addresses were made by Matilda Joslyn Gage, Lillie Devereaux Blake, Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Isabel Beecher Hooker, Mrs. Stanton's speech was especially elaborate and forcible. The hearing closed today and th ecommittee will now take the subject under advisement. Not the least of the evils which attend a dry winter in Southern California is the plague of tramps. There have been an unusual number of these in the county during the past week or two. They arrive by every train from the north, but it is needless to say that the coffers of the railroad company are not augmented to any alarming extent by the immigration. There are certain considerations, however, which we desire to submit, which always have a determining effect on tramps. A few days ago, five of them were found ensconced in a vacant house near the depot and they swore by the beard of the prophet that they would not leave their cosy quarters. But the simple reading of the Tramp Law of the town of Anaheim, rendered with dramatic emphasis by the marshal, sent them scurrying down the track as fast as they could walk. It is indeed a law calculated to strike terror into the hearts of those at whom it is aimed. Here it is: Section1. That all persons found wandering about the streets, without visible means of support, and who will not work when work is offered them, shall be deemed vagrants or tramps. Section 2. That such persons, when brought to the notice of the marshal, shall be offered work on the roads at the rate of $1 per day, and if they do not accept such work within three hours, they shall be considered tramps, and as such shall be confined in the town jail for 48 hours, on bread and water; and if not outside the town limits within three hours thereafter shall be liable to arrest and imprisonment each time after such incarceration. The Anaheim Liederkranz organized on last Saturday by electing the following officers: Henry Knapke, president; Fritz Conrad, vice-president; Max Nebelung, secretary; J. Benmerscheidt, treasurer; Prof. H. Fincke, teacher. The society now has twelve members with the prospect of a large additional number soon. Passive members can join at any time (subject to ballot) but active members must undergo a medical examination by the teacher. Meetings are held every Wednesday at Prof. Finck's home. Hay is quoted in San Francisco at $14 per ton. It would cost $76 to bring a carload (10) tons to Anaheim. This would make the hay cost, delivered her $21.60 per ton—and if hay continues to be held at $30 per ton, it's importation from San Francisco will soon begin. It is said that hay was offered at $15 per rton in Los Angeles the other day the result of the determination of consumers to import from San Francisco. Hay is quoted in San Francisco at $14 per ton.

Workmen are engaged in preparing the large two-story building on lot 33 for removal to the lot on Lemon street in the rear of the Anaheim hotel. Dr.D’Assonville’s building will also be removed to his lot on Lemon street. There are in Los Angeles at present several prominent sheep men from New Mexico, Texas and Utah who came here to buy sheep. One large sheep owner from Texas wishes to secure twenty thousand head, but the recent rain and encouraging prospect for more have made our sheep men less anxious to sell. The prices have advanced slightly and the outlook is more encouraging. One-eighth of an inch of rain fell on Tuesday and the beneficial effects of even that small amount are observable in the invigorated appearance of the grain that is above ground. A few more such showers will give the farmers a chance to make hay at least. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Dreyfus returned from San Francisco yesterday accompanied by Mr. John Weglein of New York. Mr. Weglein has been suffering from an attack of illness and will remain here until his health recruits sufficiently to enable him to return to his business in New York. There will be services in St. Michael's church tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. The Board of Town Trustees will meet in regular session on Wednesday, at which time we presume the proposition to sell them the property on the northeast corner of Center and Palm streets will receive their most distinguished consideration. The members of Anaheim Lodge No. 85, A. O. U. W. are requested to attend the meeting this evening at 7:30, as business of great importance will be transacted. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK The annual banquet of the Chamber of Commerce was held at the banquet room in Odd Fellows' hall last evening. An elaborate menu was spread, and the attendance was large. Many visitors were present from adjacent towns and a pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. Richard Melrose acted as toastmaster. After the banquet the following responses to toasts were made: W. H. Spake, Report of City's progress for 1906. Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce—Our County. J. F. Ahlborn—Our City. W. W. Kerr, Fullerton—Our Sister City. C. C. Chapman—Forestry. J. F. Walker—Our Schools. Frank Wiggins of Los Angeles—Address. Herman Stern—The Ladies. At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce held on Monday evening the following gentlemen were placed in nomination for directors: J. F. Walker, J. F. Ahlborn, Capt. Williams, W. M. Wickett, John Resh, E. L. Olmstead, W. P. Quarton. At the meeting last evening the gentlemen were elected to serve for the ensuing year. Assemblyman Clyde Bishop has introduced a bill for the formation of districts for protection of overflow of rivers. The bill has special interest to residents of this county. Mr. Bishop has introduced a bill adding a new section to the code of civil procedure relative to the taking down and transcribing of instructions to juries in cases on trial in the superior court. Word comes from Sacramento to the effect that Mr. Bishop is making good at the state capital. He opposed the attach grab, and may be relied upon to stand for the right as he sees it. County Superintendent of Schools Carpenter has received the amount of the appropriation for the county high school and Associate mayor Clyde Dyer has announced the formation of districts for protection of overflow of rivers.

County Superintendent of Schools Carpenter has received the amount of the apportionment for the county high school, and the money will be distributed as follows: Anaheim $643.73; Fullerton $654.53; Orange $635.33; Santa Ana $1,901.93; total of $4135.52. From the state superintendent's report it appears that the Redlands High School is the thirteenth in size in the state. Los Angeles leads with 2396, San Francisco has 2349, Oakland 1064, Berkeley 722, San Jose 66, Pasadena 504, Sacramento 376, San Diego 350, Alameda 347, Redlands 317, Riverside 314, Fresno 301, Santa Ana 291, Stockton 287, Long Beach 255, Santa Rosa 246, Santa Cruz 205, Eureka 199, Pomona 190, San Bernardino 145. Jim Turner of the Farmers' and Merchants Bank of Santa Ana was the star performer in a dramatic incident occurring on an electric car bound out of that town on Saturday morning when at the point of a revolver he compelled O. T. Mott to hand over to him $300 which the latter had a short time before secured from the bank on forged paper. Mott entered the bank soon after its doors were opened, and submitting the forged securities was given the money. Turner shortly discovered the forgery and started after his man. Surmising Mott would strike out for Los Angeles, he boarded the first electric car out of the city. At an outlaying street Mott boarded the car. Turner covered him with his gun and demanded the money. Mott complied. He was permitted to go. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Backs Sr. celebrated the thirty-second anniversary of their marriage on Sunday at a family reunion and dinner at which many participated. The worthy couple were recipients of many appropriate gifts, and many were the good wishes and congratulations expressed. Their marriage was an event of social importance in the early days of the community, and they have ever since been held in the highest regard by their many friends. A delightful day was spent during which Mr. and Mrs. Backs proved that they have lost none of their hospitable spirit. Henry Dyer has been selected by Supervisor Linebarger to be road overseer of this district. Wm. Hetebrink has been selected for Fullerton. T. L. Jackson for La Habra and J. S. Damron for Buena Park. The last named appointments men announced some days ago, but Dyer's was held up because Eli Sparke of the West End contested the place with him. Each contestant had strong support but Supervisor Lineberger finally decided that Dyer's efficient service during his first administration entitled him to reappointment. MURDERS With all the publicity that New York and Chicago gang murders have got, the public has a notion that those cities must be dangerous places to live in. But an Alabama college professor who has been collecting the facts about murder in the United States reports that there are 77 cities in which there are more murders in proportion to population than in New York, and 39 that have a higher percentage of murders than Chicago. There are more murders in Memphis, Tennessee in proportion to population, than in any other American city. There is no such thing in any American city as gangs of murderers roaming at large and shooting total strangers because they don't like the color of their neckties, though some such impression of life in the big cities seems to be prevalent. I have knocked around this world a good deal and as a newspaper reporter have had to go into some pretty tough districts at all hours of day and night, but I never found it necessary to armed, nor have I ever known of a sober, peaceful citizen tending strictly to his own business being killed except by a lunatic. PROHIBITION Anti-prohibitionists are incurable optimists. Finland has just repealed its prohibition law and American "wets" are jubilant. How little chance there is of any such action in this country is clearly indicated by a poll of the entire membership of both houses of Congress taken by International News Service. Only 155 members of the House of Representatives were willing even to submit the question of repeal to a popular referendum. It takes 218 to make a majority in the lower house of Congress. Thirty-two senators, or exactly one-third were in favor of a referendum. And the question of legalizing beer could muster only 125 representatives and 21 senators to its support. I think that that proportion is a fair reflection of public sentiment in the United States. The anti-prohibitionists are indulging in what Emerson called "wishful thinking." Henry Dyer has been selected by Supervisor Linebarger to be road overseer of this district. Wm. Hetebrink has been selected for Fullerton. T. L. Jackson for La Habra and J. S. Damron for Buena Park. The last named appointments men announced some days ago, but Dyer's was held up because Eli Sparke of the West End contested the place with him. Each contestant had strong support but Supervisor Lineberger finally decided that Dyer's efficient service during his first administration entitled him to re-appointment. M. Good was in town yesterday from La Habra. He reports land values steadily rising on account of the coming of the trolley line. One parcel of 20 acres of land is about to change hands at $250 per acre, surveyers are running line from Randolph to Richfield, a new gang having taken the field within a few days past. Theo. Ford the well-known Southside nurseryman was in town the first of the week. Mr. Ford states he has sold more walnut trees from his nursery the present season than ever before, shipments going as high as 1500 daily. The past week he sold upward of 7000 walnut trees. Many of the trees go to the San Joaquin ranch where a large area will be devoted to their culture. E. K. Collins is shipping a car of fancy oranges from this place and another from Fullerton to up-state points. Mr. Collins is the pioneer orange buyer in this vicinity, having purchased fruit here many years ago. He is in business for himself and has purchased several fine orchards of fruit in the county. The public library is now located in its new quarters, where patrons as well as the public generally, will be welcomed. New books are being constantly received and the library is just the place to spend a quiet evening. Wm. Jennings Bryan arrived in Los Angeles on Monday and was on Tuesday banquetted by Democrats at Levey's. Yesterday he was tendered a public reception at the Chamber of Commerce and in the afternoon departed for Salt Lake. H. H. Hale has been confined to his residence at Placentia for some weeks past with heart trouble and his illness causes anxiety among his many friends. Mr. Hale was unable to attend the annual water election, nor has he been present at a meeting of the water board since last month. "real wages" in European industry with American wages. "Rel wages" means the actual purchasing power of the workers' earning in terms of commodities. As was expected, the investigators report that living costs in European cities are excessively high and that few European workers are able to buy more than the bare necessities of life even in the best of times. If this investigation results in increasing wages and giving overseas workers a greater purchasing power it will help a lot toward restoring economic prosperity in Europe and that will help all the rest of the world. Overalls Put on Deposited Money Division of Dollar Into Upbuilding Enterprises Related by Bank The dollar you deposit in a savings account is not stowed away in the bank's vaults against the day you will ask for its return, but the bank gives it a pair of overalls and puts it to work, according to a recent bulletin issued by the research department. Bank of America, which goes on to explain just how that dollar works for the upbuilding of the community. "About 25 cents of your dollar went into the financing of a home, paying for lumber, cement, hardware, plumbing, electrical supplies, carpenters, masonry, electricians, etc." "About 30 cents of your dollar was invested in bonds enabling municipalities and states to build highways, bridges, schools, etc., public utilities to build power plants, street car lines, telephone and telegraph systems, etc.; industry to buy machinery and build plants. Investment Variety "About 8 cents of your dollar was invested in United States government bonds."

Investment Variety "About 8 cents of your dollar was invested in United States government bonds. Approximately 10 cents of your dollar found its way into commercial paper, thus aiding the business man to finance his current operations, buy raw material, pay employees and market his product. About 20 cents was loaned to responsible persons, to assist them in buying government and other securities. That makes a total of 93 cents conservatively invested or loaned on sound security and with a wide margin of safety. 7 Cents on Reserve Your bank held the remaining seven cents, partly in its vaults, partly on deposit with other banks. It held these seven cents because the law requires a bank to keep a certain reserve; and because experience shows that about 7 persons will draw out a dollar, for every 100 persons who deposit a dollar. So this reserve, together with your bank's capital and surplus, enables the bank to return your dollar as you need it, at the same time continuing its constructive aid to industry and development." State to Supervise Fullerton Road Work State of California's highway commission last week formally took over supervision of widening to 56 feet of the state highway running from the Pacific Electric railway arch just north of the main business district to the north city limits of Fullerton. This action was taken on request of the Fullerton city council. Construction work will cost Fullerton $16,000 for its share, together with removing of all pipe lines. Major cost will come from county and state funds. Actual work is held up pending acquiring of a few right-of-way deeds, proceedings for which have been filed and may be secured at any time. If building or remodeling a kitchen, make it oblong rather than square, to save steps in doing the work and to distribute the equipment most advantageously. Dr. J. C.

That’s the beauty of this special children’s remedy! It may be given the tiniest infant—as often as there is need. In cases of colic, diarrhea or similar disturbance, it is invaluable.
