IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of an Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK The ports of Wilmington and San Diego assumed a prominence last year never before attained by them. The value of the foreign imports at San Diego in 1881 was $357,473, including $259,200 for steel rails and other materials for the railroad now in course of construction south from that place. The value of the exports from the same place was $233,900. The arrivals at Wilmington in 1881 embraced 35 vessels from foreign ports, all laden with coal with a single exception. These vessels landed 52,-500 tons coal and 1800 tons steel rails at that point. The arrivals were from Europe, Australia, and British Columbia. One of the vessels was the Three Brothers, one of the largest ships that has visited California. Ten of the ships took cargoes of wheat to Europe, one was sent to San Diego to load, a similar cargo and nine to San Francisco for a similar purpose. The exports from Wilmington to foreign ports last year embraced 743 barrels of flour, 638,981 bushels of wheat and 155,800 pounds of honey. A dispatch from Washington says that during the house debate on the apportionment bill today, Prescott of New York tried to make a point in defense of the census committee measure by saying although the allotment of only five members to California would leave an unrepresented surplus of 68,000 souls this would not be unjust, he said, because the California constitution and laws deprived 75,000 chinese of the right to vote, and hence, under the fifteenth amendment, the representation ought to be reduced proportionately. This statement brought the Pacific Coast Representatives to their feet eager to correct it, but Prescott declined to yield. The bill will undoubtedly be passed tomorrow upon a basis of the amendment adopted this afternoon fixing the total number of representatives at 325 and thus giving California six members. A few practical facts in regard to the results of winter ir- A few practical facts in regard to the results of winter irrigation will not come amiss just now. As we have already stated in these columns, more irrigation has been done this winter in this vicinity than in any former year. The absence of rain has stimulated the farmers, and there are now four ditches bringing down a vast amount of water and putting it where it will accomplish the most good. The district which has received the most thorough irrigation (outside of Anaheim proper) is Orangethorpe. The farmers of that place buy their water of the Anaheim company and convey it to their lands through a branch ditch. Mr. D. E. Miles has made some rough calculations as to the probable result of this winter irrigation. He estimates that one thousand acres of land in the district referred to has been thoroughly irrigated. The land will yield, at the very lowest estimate, ten sacks of grain to the acre, worth at harvest time $1 per sack, or if kept until October it will be worth $1.50 per sack. This, the gross income from this land will be from $10,000 to $15,000, possibly $25,000, whereas, if it had not been irrigated, it would not have produced a ton of hay or a sack of grain. This result is brought about by the expenditure of $500 for water and the cost of making their ditch which probably did not exceed $1000 and which will, after being cleaned, be ready for next winters irrigation. The farming district west of town is also being irrigated extensively and the lands lying under the Cajon ditch have received bountious irrigation. On all the land so irrigated, good crops will be made. The deposits of brea, in the canyon of that name, about seven miles northeast of Anaheim have for some years remained untouched but we learn that there is a prospect that a large number of men will be put to work to get the brea for shipment to San Francisco. Mr. W. J. Broadrick the principal owner of the land on which the deposit is found, visited the locality on Monday in company with a party of gentlemen, and it was then determined to get out a quantity of brea, send it to San Francisco, and in this way determine whether it would be profitable to make shipments on a large scale. Some years ago the brea was used for the manufacture of gas in Los Angeles, but its use was discontinued because of its offensive odor. There will be religious services every evening next week in the Presbyterian church. Rev. J. W. Ellis of Los Angeles and Rev. Williell Thompson of Santa Monica will assist the pastor. It is expected that all the members of the church and congregation will attend these services, and it is also earnestly hoped that many others will be present. The usual service will be held tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. The special services will begin Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m. J. B.

O'Connor, Home Rule Member of Parliament from Galway, Ireland, will lecture in Los Angeles on Monday evening in aid of the Land League fund. The town of Mansfield, Ohio, with a population of 9000 has a free delivery postal system. Los Angeles with double the population hasn't. But Mansfield is the home of John Sherman. Mr. B. F. Seibert has purchased the brick block at Santa Ana in which his bank is located, and intends to add a second story to it this spring. The hay expected by rail from Hollister has arrived and proves to be of first-class quality. It is for sale at retail by Mr. John Hanna, who will be found either at the Planters hotel or at the telegraph office. A fine tract of vineyard land, containing 20 acres is offered for sale by Mr. J. M. Guinn. It is located near the depot, can be irrigated, and is in every respect a bargain. Preaching in the German language tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Presbyterian church by Rev. R. Staehli. Sunday school at 2 o'clock. All are invited. Mr. Bent of the Los Angeles Express honored us with a visit on Wednesday as did also Mr. Dickey of the Semi-Tropic California. Messrs Goodman & Rimpau are in receipt of an invoice of dry goods etc. which their patrons should not fail to examine. Mr. A. D. Lassell of Norwalk informs us that with one more inch of rain good crops will be made in that vicinity 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Orange county has nearly half the acreage set to bearing and non-bearing walnut trees in California. The figures taken from the recent report of the state board of equalization being as follows: Orange, 2385; Ventura 1575; Los Angeles 920; Santa Barbara 440; San Luis Obispo 410. The acreage set to new orchards this season is greater than ever, and many hundreds are being added to the total. The total acreage at this moment set to walnuts in Orange county is not far from 3000. B. Frank Porter was in town from his ranch on Orangethorpe avenue on Tuesday afternoon. He had just returned from a trip through the Placentia section with Mr. Intereiden of Chicago, who yearly purchases the crop of the walnut associations of Southern California. Mr. Intereiden marveled at the advancement of the country during the year and predicted a great future for the entire county. He is spending the winter at Santa Barbara and came down to drive through the walnut groves. Mr. Porter looks for a good yield of nuts this coming year, and satisfactory prices to the growers. J. B. Rae spent last week in San Diego during which time he disposed of his city property there as well as his ranch holdings at El Cajon and Mission Valley. Mr. Rae says realty values are looking up in the Southern city which is experiencing an unusual period of development. Several large new modern structures are in course of erection, and business is better than for years. As to disposing of his property interests in that city and county he says it was either a question of selling outright, or of disposing of his property interests here, and that he would not for a moment consider. Satisfactory prices were realized in each case. 19,389 Infested Fruit Lots Held State Border Quarantine Officers Guard Against Dangerous Crop Pests Guarding against the infestation of California farms from dangerous pests, state border quarantine officers intercepted 19,389 lots of contraband or infested fruits and plants crossing the border during 1931. Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture announced. The infested fruits, plants and plant products were found to contain 4,989 different insects and animal specimens belonging to 455 species of the insect world, it was announced. They were found in the baggage, camping equipment and automobiles of people entering California by automobile. "Interception of this large number of pests," Director Dudley Moulton said, "conclusively proves the effectiveness and the necessity of the quarantine barrier set up by the legislature to protect California's crops, for had these pests been allowed to enter the state unmolested, serious economic losses to growers may have resulted." Danger to Crops "Every person entering the state by automobile represents a potential menace to agriculture because tourists have the habit of obtaining fruits or other articles along the highways which, unknown to them, may contain some pest or plant disease, and if these articles were allowed to enter the state, would menace our crops. "The protection of our diversified farm products from pests and plant diseases which have not yet become established within our state is our constant endeavor. We shall continue to wage relentless war on those pests which are always at work threatening our crops," he said. These farm pests and contraband fruits and plants were intercepted at the J. B.

Satisfactory prices were realized in each case. Emil Dreyfus was in town from San Francisco this week having come south on a business trip to Los Angeles. Naturally he dropped down to see his old stamping ground and was pleased to note many substantial improvements. Relative to opening the alley from Los Angeles to Lemon, midway through the block south of Center street, he advises that the alley be converted into a street. This is the plan now being followed in rebuilding San Francisco, and seems to fit the case nicely. The matter will probably be laid before the city trustees and the suggestion taken under advisement by the city fathers. Emil states the April fire came to within a streets width of his mother’s home on Jackson and Van Ness. The family had moved the furniture and were prepared to see the residence go up in flames which spread over the city, but the flames stopped at the corner and the building was spared. Joseph M. Backs, Jr., has received a flattering commendation of his work as local manager of the Home Telephone system from the general manager of the company in Los Angeles, in which he is assured that he stands in the lead among Southern California cities as to new phones installed. The local exchange has installed more new phones the past month than any other city in this part of the state. Manager Backs states that he has not yet got a good start, and that when he gets speeded right he will show his superiors what a real beat of the other places looks like. New wires are being stretched in all directions and the latest make of phones installed. The public is highly pleased with the service, and the company is deserving of support. E. K. Collins was in town on Monday from San Jose. He is shipping oranges from Fullerton and his smile never wears off. Bigger-hearted than ever, his many friends hereabout, who met him a score of years ago, declare him to be the best man who ever came out of the northern citrus belt. Much obliged Ed, for the box of oranges. Recorder Howard had a quartet of unfortunates in court on Monday morning as a result of two much vino tinto on Sunday. Fines were imposed of $5 to $25 which the men paid to the city treasury. An alarm of fire was rung at 6:30 on Monday morning for a blaze in Robert Wilson’s bakery on Center street near Clementina. The fire was caused by the melting of the gas pipe connecting with the meter, and for a time threatened the destruction of the building. Mr. Cassou, who owns the premises and whose building adjoins the bakery, applied a stream of water from his garden hose tearing off the shingles to reach the blaze. Mr. Wilson’s son Recorder Howard had a quartet of unfortunates in court on Monday morning as a result of two much vino tinto on Sunday. Fines were imposed of $5 to $25 which the men paid to the city treasury. An alarm of fire was rung at 6:30 on Monday morning for a blaze in Robert Wilson's bakery on Center street near Clementina. The fire was caused by the melting of the gas pipe connecting with the meter, and for a time threatened the destruction of the building. Mr. Cassou, who owns the premises and whose building adjoins the bakery, applied a stream of water from his garden hose tearing off the shingles to reach the blaze. Mr. Wilson's son covered the pipe with wet clothes, his hand and arm being badly burned. The fire department was promptly on hand but the fire was extinguished before it was necessary to apply the force of water from the hose. The loss is slight. Emmet & Dyer have completed the first of two deep wells for the city's new power house. Mr. Emmet informs us the well has thousands of water and is one of the best his firm has bored in the county. An inch and .87 of rain fell on Thursday evening and on Friday and .12 on Tuesday morning. The total for the season, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge is 16.02 inches as against an even 10 inches last year to date. Ted Dickel and Fayette Lewis have been given tryouts by the freshmen baseball club at Berkeley and have each made good. The former will perform in the box while the latter will romp around short. Two strapping kids and we wager, two of the best ball players in the university team. Mr. Neffs rain gauge recorded .98 inches for the storm of Thursday night and .02 of an inch the following day, making an even two inches. For the season he has 15.37 inches and looks for six inches more before the close of the rainy season. The fourteen acre Valencia orange grove in Placentia purchased a year ago from Mr. and Mrs. J. Orteqa by F. P. Fay and R. T. Davis has been sold to Mrs. J. J. Ayers of Azusa for $13,500. The sale was made by Clarence McFadden.
