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 MAY 13, 1882 The man coming to Los Angeles looking for a locality in which to settle and make his home, or who desires to invest his money in real estate for speculative purposes, does a very foolish and unwise thing if he makes a purchase before visiting Anaheim and investigating the lands in this vicinity. We challenge contradiction to the statement that there is no better land in California than that contiguous to this place, and it is a fact easy of demonstration that the prices asked for real estate here are fully fifty per cent lower than is asked for land in other parts of the county in no respect better for farming or fruit raising. It is not our present purpose to explain why it is that land is so much cheaper here than elsewhere, suffice it to say that the main reason for that state of affairs exists no longer, and that in the natural course of events the price of land here will steadily raise in value. Notwithstanding that the present season is a failure, agriculturally, land is held at a higher figure than it was six or eight months ago, and we are no true prophet if it does not steadily advance from this time onward. The time to buy is now. The cut worm appears to be giving the owners of young vineyards considerable trouble. It is said that they are especially destructive in the neighborhood of Tustin, many young vineyards in that vicinity having been seriously damaged by the pest. The worm seems to have an especial liking for muscat vines, as that variety invariably suffers most from its depredations. The Anaheim vineyards containing mostly mission vines have this season escaped the attentions of the worm. The foreman of B. F. Porter's ranch at San Fernando met with a serious accident the other day while splitting wood with gunpowder.

It is said that they are especially destructive in the neighborhood of Tustin, many young vineyards in that vicinity having been seriously damaged by the pest. The worm seems to have an especial liking for muscat vines, as that variety invariably suffers most from its depredations. The Anaheim vineyards containing mostly mission vines have this season escaped the attentions of the worm. The foreman of B. F. Porter's ranch at San Fernando met with a serious accident the other day while splitting wood with gunpowder. One of the charges failing to explode, Mr. Peterson stepped up to relight the fuse, which he supposed had gone out, when the explosion occurred, nearly severing two fingers on the right hand and otherwise lacerating it. His face also suffered being badly burned. Mr. William Konig has purchased the property on South Los Angeles street (known as the Calisher house) and intends to make substantial improvements thereon. It is fortunate that the property has fallen into the hands of a gentleman who will take care of it and make it an ornament to that part of the town. The Hessian fly has appeared in a few places in Vallejo township in such numbers as to destroy completely whole fields of wheat. Mark Carr, four miles southeast of Petaluma is now engaged in plowing under what a short time ago was a promising wheat field. House and lot for sale—On Center street, Poplar Row. House contains eight rooms, hard finished. Lot contains nearly two-thirds of an acre, is planted in Orange, lemon, apple, peach, apricot and nectarine trees, all bearing. Ten varieties of grapes. Ornamental trees and shrubbery. Price $2000. Apply to this office or to J. M. Guinn, P. O. Box 317. Los Angeles. Boone, the contractor for carrying the mail between Anaheim and Westminster from June 1882 to June 1886, desires to sublet the contract. As he receives only $395 a year from the government for his services the probabilities are that he will have some difficulty in finding a sub-contractor to take it at those figures. The village of Fayal (the railroad terminus at Wilmington harbor) sports six saloons, one grocery store, a ship chandler, butcher shop, barber shop, fruit stand, three boarding houses, coffee stand, school house, a shell and curiosity shop, a Chinese wash house and a hog ranch. Judge McNealy of San Diego continues quite sick although there is now no danger of a fatal termination to his illness. Judge Sepulveda, between whom and Judge McNealy there exists a warm friendship takes a run down to San Diego once in a while to attend to his friend’s court affairs. The four Chinamen arrested for cutting wood on Las Bolsas had a jury trial in Justice Bailey’s court on Monday and were found guilty. They were sentenced to pay a fine of $35 each or an alternative of imprisonment. The case has been appealed to the superior court on points of law.

Dreyfus, Northam and Melrose were appointed a committee on behalf of the Anaheim Water company to settle with the attorneys for their services in the late water cases. They will make their report at a meeting of the stockholders to be held today. Henri Martin was arrested on Monday for stealing $460 from his employer at Elizabeth Lake. He was examined, arraigned, pleaded guilty and sentenced to imprisonment for one year—the entire proceedings occupying one hour and five minutes. A conspicuous instance of speedy justice. The schooner Sierra will make regular trips during the summer months between Wilmington and Santa Catalina Island for the accommodation of pleasure seekers. A year or so ago there were about twenty empty dwelling houses in Anaheim, today there are few if any. That shows that the place is in a decidedly more prosperous condition than twelve months ago. The best story of the season is one we heard in Los Angeles the other day. A lady in that city visited the office of a well known architect the other day and asked him to draw plans for a house which she was going to build as soon as Orange became the county seat of a new county. It appeared that she had bought a small tract of land in Orange, the seller solemnly assuring her that the county seat would be located there within three months. The Crosbie Comedy company found it profitable to play for three nights during the past week. What better evidence could be had to establish tre fact that this is a live town. A strawberry 11½ inches in circumference is about as large as that kind of fruit generally gets. Mr. G. R. Hinde has one that size and a number very nearly as large. Mr. J. Frank Burns, formerly sheriff of Los Angeles county, but now of Fremont, Nebraska, has received the nomination for State treasurer of Nebraska on the Republican ticket. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 16, 1907 The new county of Imperial, to be carved out of the eastern portion of San Diego and a part of Riverside county, will be the next candidate for public favor, and the towns of Imperial and El Centro will have a footrace for the county seat. The new county may take off quite a slice from Riverside, in which case the representation of that county in next year’s senatorial convention will be still further reduced. Riverside’s vote at the election last November fell 26 per cent below that of Orange county and if that county loses much area by division their candidate for senator will be votes shy in next summer’s political campaign. Orange county will have a candidate up for the office, that is certain. Cabbage shipping is now well under way. Up to Tuesday night the California vegetable union had shipped 225 carloads from Fullerton, Anaheim, Brookshurst, Olive, La Habra and Benedict. The output has averaged about $17 per ton net to the growers, and the Union is now moving ten carloads a-day from this district. Buyers are paying $17 per ton this week, which is an increase of $3 per ton over last week. The demand continues active and the market is reported strong throughout the east. After receiving orders to leave at once for San Francisco last Wednesday on the 3:50 Southern Pacific train Company E at the last moment received orders countermanding the first order and the guardsmen with keen disappointment saw their scheduled train pull in and leave without them. On Monday morning thirty members of Company E were permitted to return to their homes, with instructions to report once daily at the armory. Dispatches from the north bring in news that the strike situation is clearing. State Playground Of Automobilists Arizona and Washington Near Tie In Number: More Cars Here in '31 Than '30 California's popularity as a playground for motorists from other states and countries was evidenced in a report issued by Russell Devans, registrar of the department of motor vehicles showing that non-resident permits were issued during 1931 for a total of 101,554 visiting cars. Bevans estimated that these cars brought an average of three persons each into the state. The 1931 figure is a gain of approximately 10 percent over the previous year when a total of 91,247 non-resident driving permits were issued. Liberal License Policy California has an extremely liberal policy toward the out-of-state motorist. Bevans explained, this policy having been adopted to encourage tourist travel. Non-residents may drive here for the period for which their plates are good in the state from whence they came provided they secure a non-resident permit within ten days after entering California. California’s sister states in the western group, Washington and Arizona, were practically tied for first place in the number of tourists they sent to California. Residents of Washington took out 9,820 permits and Arizona residents 9,640. Oregon was third with 8,920. From Far and Wide From the far east New York was represented with 4,960 cars. Pennsylvania with 2,160 and Ohio with 4,780. Nearly a thousand cars came from Massachusetts. 135 came from New Hampshire and eighty-eight from Vermont. The Southern states were all represented, Florida leading with 500 cars. is an increase of $3 per ton over last week.

On Monday morning thirty members of Company E were permitted to return to their homes, with instructions to report once daily at the armory. Dispatches from the north bring in news that the strike situation is clearing resulted in the order. There is no doubt that Gov. Gillette's threat to call out the guard has acted as a deterent to the strike-crazed men at the northern town. San Francisco does not want martial law, but unless she preserves the peace, the state will take a hand in the game and show them what an orderly and well disciplined town looks like. W. W. Scott has sold his ten acre place east of town to Mr. Reid, recently arrived from Michigan, possession being given Monday. Mr. Scott has resided there with his family for 16 years, the tract being devoted to the raising of deciduous fruits and berries. The family are now domiciled in a cottage on East Broadway. Mr. Reid is accompanied by his family and will make his permanent home here. The consideration was $4000. Mayor Rust's automobile is in Skinner's garage for a new copper tank, and the city's chief executive does a powerful amount of hiking. The other evening after attending a citizen's meeting at the city hall, he started home afoot, and when half-way there he bethought himself of his horse and buggy hitched in front of the city hall. He returned, procured the rig and drove home. A. Nagel has constructed a corrugated-iron warehouse 26x46 in the rear of his new brick structure at the corner of Center and Claudina streets, and has begun removal of his stock thither. Mr. Nagel's main store building has a depth of 80 feet, and with the warehouse the total depth of the establishment is 126 feet. The premises are being made ready for occupancy and will be ready by the first of June. A tally-ho ride to Santiago was enjoyed by a number of friends a few days ago. The trip made in Hahn's tally-ho and an enjoyable day was spent. The party comprised Capt. and Mrs. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Holman, Mr. and Mrs. Wickett, Miss McKay of Pittsburg, Miss Elenora Parker, Miss Marian Johnston, Mrs. Yoern, Miss Yoern, Rev. Mitchell, Robt. Johnston, Gus McAuley and other young people. Miss Violet Gervaise celebrated her tenth birthday at her home on South Los Angeles street several afternoons ago by having as guests a number of her little friends. Those present were Beatrice Westerman, Hazel Pickering, Goldie Mathews, Ethel Hatfield, Alice Panier, Orpha Thayer, Florence Scribner and Alberta Abby.

The Southern states were all represented, Florida leading with 500 cars. "Every state in the Union was represented." Bevans reported. Cars came from nearly every quarter of the globe. Canada leading other nations with 1,440. China was represented by three England by four Italy and Japan by one each. The Philippine Islands was represented by twenty-six cars, Nova Scotia by six and Panama by sixty-three. One car came from San Salvador and one from Samoa.

Joseph Helmsen in having installed a handsome plateglass front in his store, is keeping up the reputation of the interior by unpacking one of the choicest consignments of stationary and books, confectionery and novelties ever brought to this city. His stock of souvenir postal cards is making a hit. See them and be convinced. Earl Abby recently arrived from Denver to remain with his folks. He was for some time employed on the Denver Post in the Artist’s department, his work being highly commended. In company of his brother Walter he was in town a few days meeting with friends and new acquaintances: J. B. Neff went to Whittier yesterday to make arrangements for holding a special walnut growers institute at that place early next month. The final institute of the season will be held at Ventura later in the month. Hans Weisel who will shortly complete his studies of law in a Los Angeles college, will enter the law office of Richard Melrose of this city to further practice his chosen profession. Joseph M. Banks Jr. has a force of six linemen stringing wires for new phones in this city, and expects this week to make connection with the Placentia suburban line. B. T. Porter, J. H. Enearl and Fred Mickle were called to Santa Ana on Tuesday on a venire of jurymen to try a felony case in the superior court. Tim Boege was in town from the West End on Monday afternoon. Mr. Boege is one of the oldest residents of this city, having arrived in the early 60's. Leopold Goepper was in town from Santa Ana a day or two ago. Mr. Goepper has disposed of his cigar factory and will in the future devote his attention to mining. Deposits in the First National Bank this week went over the $400,000 mark, the amount exceeding that figure by $1000. Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell of Los Angeles are guests of Mrs. Cadman.

Sign Operator Card For Own Protection Motorists Admonished to Sign Card and Carry It At All Times Sign your operator's card! This admonition was given California motorists this week by Russell Bevans, registrar of the department of motor vehicles. Bevans, announced at the same time he had received a report from the bureau of drivers licenses that thousands of drivers are carrying cards that have not been signed. Motorists who have not signed their cards, Bevans, said, are driving illegally. Section 67 of the motor vehicle act requires that the driver sign his card with his customary signature in ink immediately upon receipt. Sign your operator's card!

Motorists who have not signed their cards, Bevans said, are driving illegally. Section 67 of the motor vehicle act requires that the driver sign his card with his customary signature in ink immediately upon receipt of his license. The act declares the card is not valid until signed. The operator must carry his card at all times while driving. 15,000 Per Month The intent of the law, Bevans explained, is to assist in the identification of the driver in case he is stopped by a highway officer or for other reasons. This is frequently as much protection to the motorist as to anyone else, serving as a means of identifying him in many emergencies. Bevans estimates approximately 2,750,000 Californians are carrying licenses cards. New applications are being received at the rate of 15,000 every month.
