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 APRIL 15, 1882 That was rather an unfortunate allusion we made last week to the quietness and inactivity of our Justice’s Courts. From Saturday morning business has been brisk in that quarter. P. J. Kelley, a French sheepherder, was brought up before Justice Gannon on a charge of drunkenness, and fined the costs of the action, on his promising to leave town and get to work. However, he afterwards changed his mind and indulged in a sprightly spree. He was again brought up before the Justice, the charge being drunkness and malicious mischief, fined $30, and in default of payment was sent up for 30 days. During a dispute on Saturday between Ah Ku and Ah Goon in a Chinese house near Los Angeles street, the former threw a heavy iron weight at the latter striking him on the top of the head, inflicting an ugly wound from which the blood flowed freely. The parties were promptly arrested and brought up before the Justice on Tuesday, when Ah Goon preferred a charge of assault with a deadly weapon against Ah Ku. The latter was fined $100 and not being able to pay the sum, was sent up to the county jail for 100 days. Jose Aguilar pleaded guilty before Justice Bailey on Tuesday to a charge of disturbing the peace and was fined $25. The Easter services at St. Michael’s church were largely attended, nearly every seat being occupied. The church was elaborately decorated and the musical part of the service was well rendered evincing careful preparation on the part of the choir. One of the notices given by the pastor is of especial interest, not only to members of the church but to the whole community—viz., that the church is to have a bell. We understand that it is given by the father of the late Charles B. Balch, as a memorial to his son, and as such it will be especially valued. Last week as a meat merchant from Wilmington was coming The Easter services at St. Michael's church were largely attended, nearly every seat being occupied. The church was elaborately decorated and the musical part of the service was well rendered evincing careful preparation on the part of the choir. One of the notices given by the pastor is of especial interest, not only to members of the church but to the whole community—viz., that the church is to have a bell. We understand that it is given by the father of the late Charles B. Balch, as a memorial to his son, and as such it will be especially valued. Last week as a meat merchant from Wilmington was coming up the channel a baby seal about two feet long followed the boat and set up a piteous cry for help. The little fellow had lost his mother and was hungry and lonesome. The boat was stopped and the little fellow climbed in and nestled down under the legs of the man who took him to Wilmington and fed him milk, of which he is very fond. He is perfectly tame and is the pet of the town. At a meeting of citizens held at Kroeger’s hall on Monday evening the following ticket of town officers was nominated: For Trustees: J. P. Zeyn, Capt. A. S. Ferguson, Wm. Konig, F. A. Korn, P. Davis. For Assessor: H. C. Gade; For Clerk: A. W. Steinhart; For Treasurer: L. F. Lewis; For Marshal: L. Wartenberg; For Justice of the Peace: T. L. Gannon. Mr. Zeyn desires us to say that he declines the nomination. Capt. Ferguson and Mr. Korn also request us to announce that they decline the nomination. The Presbytery of Los Angeles is in session in San Diego. It comprises ministers and delegates from the Presbyterian churches of Southern California. The following are present: Rev. J. W. Ellis of Los Angeles, retiring moderator; Rev. Robert Strong of Westminster, stated clerk; Revs. John Marquis, Westminster; T. E. Taylor, Nordhoff; P. D. Young, Orange; F. D. Young, Ventura; F. H. Robinson, Anaheim; and Elders Josiah McCoy, Westminster; E. B. Hall, Santa Barbara and L. C. Gunn, San Diego. At the annual meeting for the election of officers of the Anaheim Water company, held on last Saturday, the following were elected directors to serve for the ensuing year: B. Dreyfus, F. A. Korn, J. P. Zeyn, F. Hartung, Erwin Barr. The new board will meet today and organize by electing officers. The amendments to the by-laws which was presented at a previous meeting were adopted. The crops throughout the county are looking splendid, and there have been few years of greater promise than this. Unless a succession of hot, blasting winds visit us the crops will be very large. The period of frost has passed, too, and there is no danger to be apprehended by fruit growers from that source. Verily the times are propitious. The rainfall for the early part of the week amounted to twenty-two hundredths of an inch, and added to the total makes the season’s rainfall so far 6.84. Mr. Saxton gives the fall for the week as one-fourth of an inch and for the season seven and three-eighths. The state board of education has granted life diplomas to S. H. Butterfield, C. R. Jones, Helen F. Halland, Marthe M. Harvey.

Jones, Helen E. Holland, Martha M. Hewes, Delight Swift, Lee Virginia, P. S. Zumwalt, and educational diplomas to Charles W. Moores, Ida Squires and Emily V. Wright, all of Los Angeles county. Death has again entered the household of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Edwards, this time taking from them their son, John Thomas. He died on Tuesday at the parental residence in Los Angeles, and was buried on Thursday in the family burial plot at Santa Ana. There is no doubt that the extension of the Southern Pacific railroad from Santa Ana towards San Diego will soon be an accomplished fact. A-San Luis Rey correspondent of the San Diego Union says, "Cave Couts has withdrawn from the management of the Guajome ranch, and goes to assist Colonel Scott in running the railroad line from Santa Ana to this point. Many other things are happening which show that the Southern Pacific will soon be built to the Bay city. The jury in the case of T. B. Hulse charged with the murder of F. Rueter, failed to agree upon a verdict and were discharged. They stood six for conviction and six for acquittal. Date of the second trial has not been determined. Mr. B. McLaughlin, proprietor of the Axel Cutting machine, who was to have been here last week, was delayed at Downey until Monday. He will remain here until next Saturday, and can be found at N. H. Mitchell's livery stable. Leland Stanford has received 5000 cuttings of the Smyrna fig, and will distribute them to farmers throughout the state. As there will be a demand for them applications should be sent in at once. The Centinela and Sausal Redondo ranchos in this county have been sold by Sir Robert Burnett to Mr. D. Freeman for $140,000—a fraction over $5.60 per acre. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 18, 1907 By force of gravity and hydraulic pressure the dam at the Yorba reservoir is steadily rising upward until at present it has reached the twenty-foot mark. It will rise to a height of fifty feet, when it will impound fifty odd million cubic feet of water, sufficient to supply the needs of southern irrigators during the entire summer's irrigating season. The reservoir nestles in the foothills at Yorba, the county road skirting around its base. Nearby is the townsite of Richfield, which is being subdivided into ten acre lots and will shortly be placed upon the market. Two miles to the northward is the willow fringed Anaheim ditch which has supplied the Mother Colony with water for irrigation for fifty years. This oldtimer—the reservoir will put out of commission. Water for this section will be conducted from the reservoir through 36-inch vitrified pipe, which is now being laid a distance of two miles to cement ditches which lead direct to a widespread area of fertile fields to the south and west. The retirement of the old ditch, which is five miles in length will effect a saving of 150 inches of water daily, and the reservoir will obviate the necessity for bringing the water over a rickety flume, which is and has for years been ready to go to pieces. To rebuild the flume would have cost $5,000. Sixty men and a dozen teams are engaged in building the dam. The dam is 300 feet in length at its present stage of completion, 300 feet wide at the base, and when finished to a height of fifty will be 1000 feet in length at the top. Its present height is nearly twenty feet. The dam when completed will contain 100,000 cubic yards of earth. The work is under the personal supervision of Engineer H. Clay Kellogg, who drew the plans and specifications for the reservoir several years ago. The construction of this great work has been a dream of Mr. Kellogg for twenty years. He says he will have it completed in sixty days. U.S.C. Chief Sees Better Conditions Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid Cites Figures Show Upward Trend in Business Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president of the University of Southern California, in a statewide broadcast Saturday evening, over stations KFI and KGO, said that there were many indications that conditions were really improving, and quoted recent statistics showing an upward trend of commerce and industry, as the basis of the faith he held. "For the first time in six months, industrial payrolls and average weekly earnings show an increase over the preceding month," said Dr. von KleinSmid. "Reliable statistics show that 60 percent of the farmers of California made money during the past year. At the close of the first month of 1932, 16 percent of the leading cities of this state reported building permits in excess of January, 1930. Despite worldwide business adjustments the value of California's manufactured products last calendar year exceeded $3,000,000,000." "The back-to-good-times movement," sponsored by A.P. Giannini, is not and must not become an empty phrase. The courage displayed on every hand must be strengthened. Returning confidence must be met with that encouragement which can come from the return of hoarded funds to normal channels of activity; the increase of credit made possible thereby; and the slow, even if cautious, increase of production." the flume would have cost $5,000. Sixty men and a dozen teams are engaged in building the dam.

He says he will have it completed in sixty days. Mrs. Gus Hansen entertained a number of her friends on Wednesday afternoon last at her Orangethorpe avenue home. Miss Evelyn Rannells and Mrs. Morris Smith rendered a number of selections on the piano and Miss Rannells sang several delightful Mexican songs. A short game of progressive whist was played at which Mrs. Hiltscher won the first prize, a cut glass pitcher and Mrs. Strodthoff the second, a pompadour vase. The consolation, a teddy bear was won by Miss Cordes. After the game the guests were ushered into the dining room where they sat down to a delightful repast of salads, coffee cake and ice cream. It was late when the guests bade goodby to their hostess and returned to their homes. Among those present were Mrs. Gus Hansen, Mrs. Arthur Lewis, Mrs. Otto Rust, Mrs. Bird Beebe, Mrs. H. A. Johnson, Mrs. Wickett, Mrs. Peter Weisel, Mrs. Strodthoff, Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth, Mrs. Henry Kuchel, Mrs. Hiltscher, Mrs. Morris Smith, Miss Winifred Melrose, Miss Elsie Rust, Miss Cordes, Miss Hettie Weisel, Miss Theresa Fay, Los Angeles guests were Mrs. Rannells, Mrs. Hauptman, Miss Evelyn Rannells and Miss Neiderer. The Southern California editorial association met the up-state editors at Bakersfield on Sunday, and spent two days as guests of the hospitable people of Kern county. The Southern California association held its annual election of officers in Los Angeles on Saturday and in the evening its members were banqueted at Levy's. The business session on Saturday was devoted to the reading of papers and discussion of subjects pertinent to the profession. The following officers were elected to serve during the ensuing year: D. J. McDivitt, Randsburg Miner, president; A. A. Paddington, Riverside Press, first vice-president; Mrs. Henry F.

The Western Zinc company has commenced a tunnel in its hill in the Silverado canyon some 200 feet below the level of its first tunnel in which gold ore in paying quantities has been taken out, and if ore is struck low down in the hill as good as that higher up, the company will put in a $100,000 mill. The lower tunnel is now in seventy-five feet and will be continued 300 feet further. The company has spent a large sum in the canyon, and its findings has caused an excitement in the foothills. Hundreds of claims have been staked out. A petition largely signed has been presented the supervisors asking for a bridge across the Santa Ana river west of the county activity; the increase of credit made possible thereby, and the slow, even if cautious, increase of production."

It is stated the board will be unable to do anything with the matter, owing to a lack of funds. A. S. Bradford is in San Francisco this week attending a convocation of Royal Arch Masons.
