IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 20, 1907 San Diego has two county-division projects before its people and if both succeed which now seems probable, the county will be reduced to a quarter its present size. The proposed county of Imperial divides the county into two equal parts the line of division running from the Mexican boundary in a straight line northerly to Riverside county. The second project divides the proposed county of San Luis Rey, which embraces half the remaining portion of the parent county, the dividing line running from the coast at Encinitas due east to the imperial boundary line. San Diego opposes both propositions. Tim Carroll takes an active interest in the graft proceedings in San Francisco, as during his stay in that city last year he found the town overrun with municipal corruption. He has erected two of his patented garbage dumps at Mission street wharf, and by this contrivance hundreds of cars of debris are dumped into scows daily. Mr. Carroll is of opinion that if some of the northern city's most prominent grafters could be cast into the bay over his dump it would work great improvement in the affairs of that community. He has four patents upon the device, as well as a number pending upon other inventions. His proudest possessions are his sons, George, who weighs 260 pounds, Joe 212, Timmy 220 and Charley 212. The old gentleman tips the beam himself at over 200 and when the Frisco grafters ran up against this aggregation they had to take a back seat. J. B. Neff goes to Ventura county on Monday to hold institutes and will also hold a meeting at Pomona, which will conclude meetings in southern California this fiscal year ending June 30. He reports an excellent walnut growers' institute at Whittier and looks for much good to come to growers as a result of it. J. B.

Nagel is now in his handsome new store at the corner of Claudina and Center streets and is showing a particularly well selected stock of hardware, fancy cutlery, crockery, glassware, stoves, ranges and other articles usually found in establishments of this kind. Mr. Nagel's store is one of the handsomest in southern California and he is to be congratulated upon his enterprise. Such work counts in the upbuilding of the town. Success to him. Walter Johnson, the Olinda pitcher, is credited with having broken the world's record in pitching 57 innings of baseball without a hit. Johnson is performing in the Idaho league and is pitching good ball. While in the box for the Olinda team, in games played last winter on the local diamond, he had a record of 49 innings without a hit. A fielder's error gave the opposing team a run, which broke the magic spell: Johnson pitched the game out without a hit. Advices from Boise state he will probably be in the big league next year. The other local players, Mott, Elwell, Head and Meats are doing good work. Mott is with Seattle, Head is playing in the Colorado league and the two latter in the Idaho-Montana league. At the request of the Sacramento committee the Santa Ana chamber of commerce has appointed five men to serve as an Orange county committee for the National Irrigation congress which meets soon in Sacramento. The men appointed are: S. Armor of Orange, M. Nisson of Santa Ana, John Dunstan of Tustin, C. C. Chapman of Placentia and P. H. Krick of Anaheim. The large hay barn on the Reyes place at Yorba narrowly escaped destruction by fire on Saturday morning from a fire which it is supposed was started by a child playing with matches. The barn contained a large quantity of baled straw. Ten tons of this straw were carried out, all of it more or less burned. A considerable quantity of straw which could not be taken out was burned but the barn was saved. James Forbes was in from Placentia on Friday and in conversation about good roads said his neighbors favor them heartily but expect disbursements of money in their section for improved thoroughfares along with other sections of the county. He favors construction of El Camino Real but desires that other main thoroughfares also be given attention that is due them. D. N. Kelley of Tustin will continue the work of taking the assessment in this district, succeeding Wm. Schwenckert, who resigns to assume control of the Pacific Telephone system in place of J. F. Ahlborn who leaves this week for Canada. Major George A. Race of San Antonio, Texas, has been here this week on a visit to Frank A.

Ahlborn who leaves this week for Canada. Major George A. Race of San Antonio, Texas, has been here this week on a visit to Frank A. Gates, the two being great grand children of the same worthy sire. The two had not met in 44 years. Miss Helen Wright of Lowell, Mass., who has been a guest of her brother, Alex Wright, and family for several months past leaves this morning for her home in the east. Her brother will accompany her as far as the Grand Canyon, and may make a side trip to the petrified forest. Mr. Wright will be absent several weeks. Miss Edna Wilde, a popular member of the High School faculty and Edwin Hill Brooks of Eureka were married yesterday afternoon at the residence of the bride's mother on Hedwig street by Rev. Wm. Brooks, father of the groom. Miss Agnes Arncill a sorority sister of the bride, who is a Kappa Alpha Theta from the University of California was maid of honor. Miss Ames sang "Sweetheart" and F. G. Goodenow of Los Angeles played the wedding march. The young couple will reside in Eureka. Mrs. Gerald Sandilands entertained the ladies' euchre club at her home on Thursday afternoon. The first prize was won by Mrs. F. Backs, the second by Mrs. Henry Kuchel and the booby prize by Miss Raymond. Refreshments were served after the game and later a business meeting was held at which it was decided that this would be the last meeting of the season, the club taking its annual summer vacation until September. The Home Telephone company has plans for a two-story building at the corner of Center and Lemon and will soon begin work upon erection of the same. Manager Jos. Backs states the business of the company shows steady increase. Dr. Johnston, George Ross, Capt. Williams and Prof. Walker attended a meeting of the county Y. M. C. A. at Fullerton on Monday evening. After a session at which routine business was transacted, a banquet was tendered members at the St. George hotel. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 17, 1882 A purchasing agent of the Los Angeles cannery was in Anaheim on Tuesday and contracted for a large quantity of fruit at the following prices: Apricots, 2½ cents per pound; peaches, 1¼ cents; white figs, 2 cents; blackberries, 3½. The company furnishes crates, and the growers pick the fruit, pack it in the crates, and deliver them to the railroad depot. The prices are very fair. Young apricot trees three years old will bear about 200 pounds of fruit each, worth $5. As there are a hundred trees to the acre it will be seen that it is an exceedingly profitable tree to raise. The apricot orchards of the Messrs. Browning, Schmidt, Haight and others will for years to come be of greater profit to them than their orange orchards or vineyards. Greater attention should be given to pears. There is a great demand for Bartlett pears, and, as aptly said by Mr. S. B. Smith last week, pear trees will thrive on strong alkali land. There are very few Bartlett pears to be had, and the sooner fruit growers plant that kind, the better it will be for them. On last Wednesday a party of armed men, representing the Cajon Irrigation company, went to the head of the Cajon ditch, destroyed the dam which the Anaheim Water company had made and threatened the zanjero with violence if he attempted to rebuild the dam. The zanjero reported this to the officers of the company here and Mr. Zeyn, on behalf of the Anaheim Water company, went to Los Angeles on Thursday, and had the necessary injunction papers prepared. The injunction could not be granted by Judge Howard, who, having been an attorney in the case is disqualified, and Judge Sepulveda refused to consider the application on the ground that he has expressed too many opinions in the case. The superior judge of San Bernardino county was telegraphed yesterday. The Cajon company claim an equal division of water with the Anaheim company. The lat- Sardines Have Poorest Season San Pedro District Only One to Show Increase, Report Shows The sardine industry had one of its poorest years according to figures for the 1931-32 season, released by the bureau of commercial fisheries of the division of fish and game. Only in southern California did the catch, the products, canned, made into meal and edible oils, show an increase, and this increase was less than the usual annual progress. In northern California including the great Monterey area where the bulk of the sardines are caught, the decrease in sardines taken from the sea amounted to over 33 per cent less than the preceding season, when 133,420 tons were brought in. The San Pedro district brought in 48,557 tons this season against 38,580 last year. There were packed in the northern district for the season just ended. 1,066,763 cases, the season before there were packed 1,831,032 cases. Oil manufactured this year amounted to 2,755,282 gallons, a decrease of 1,-372,273 from last year. The meal tonnage dropped from 14,-206 tons to 10,128 this season. In the southern district the 1932 pack was 789,455 against 741,060 for the '31 season. Meal made was 4,911 tons this season; last year 4,317. Oil manufactured this year was 762,-701 gallons, an increase over last year of 132,690. New Yorkers were told this past week that they can sit in their homes and call up practically any one of the 20,095,000 telephones in the United States, Canada and Mexico. destroyed the dam which the Anaheim Water company had made and threatened the zanjero with violence if he attempted to rebuild the dam. The zanjero reported this to the officers of the company here and Mr. Zeyn, on behalf of the Anaheim Water company, went to Los Angeles on Thursday, and had the necessary injunction papers prepared. The injunction could not be granted by Judge Howard, who, having been an attorney in the case is disqualified, and Judge Sepulveda refused to consider the application on the ground that he has expressed too many opinions in the case. The superior judge of San Bernardino county was telegraphed yesterday. The Cajon company claim an equal division of water with the Anaheim company. The latter contend they have rights superior to all other irrigators and the late decision of Judge McNealey confirms this view. The very unfortunate episode alluded to above is deprecated by all. An issue could have been joined without resort to arms. The shotgun and rifle era is gone. We hope the time will soon come when the side of the river will be united on this question, and when all will work together for the development of the prolific and beautiful country about us. Coercion will accomplish nothing it will only retard the final adjudication. Quite a large meeting of citizens was held in Kroegers hall on Wednesday evening in response to a call to take action in the matter of fittingly celebrating the Fourth of July. Mr. F. W. Tyler was called to the chair, Mr. Hippolyte Cahen was chosen secretary, and Mr. J. E. Stackpole, treasurer. It was resolved to celebrate the day in the orthodox manner, a committee consisting of Messrs. Leonard, Stackpole, Ey Mitchell and J. Hartung was appointed to solicit contributions. The meeting adjourned until last evening when it was expected all arrangements for the celebration would be perfected. The committee on subscriptions have met with such great success that the celebration will be upon a grander scale than at first contemplated. A telegram was received at the Gazette office on last Friday night from J. F. Dalton, who is at Wilcox A. T. It was in contradiction to the rumor which we printed two weeks ago of the killing of Dalton and his family by Indians. We are very glad that the rumor proved false and that our friends are still alive and enjoying the very best of health. At the meeting held on last Saturday to organize the Free Reading room, the following officers were elected: Richard Melrose, president; Adolph Rimpau, vice-president; E. J. Pellegrin, secretary; R. M. Barham, treasurer; executive committee: R. J. Northam, H. Cahen, O. des Granges, W. Wolf, Oscar Zeyn, C. E. Leonard, R. Melrose. It is a significant fact that in the county of Los Angeles are to be found in Anaheim, Pasadena, and other places of lesser note the most successful—we had almost written the only successful—colonies which have been founded in the state, or in the United States.—Los Angeles Herald. The meeting to organize a horticultural and agricultural society will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Planters hotel. The attendance at the meeting will be taken as an index of the wishes of our people in the matter, and it is important that all who favor the enterprise should be present.

O. O. F. has elected the following officers: B. F. McDonald, N. G.; Geo. C. Knox, V. G.; F. A. Korn, R. S.; H. C. Gade, P. S.; J. P. Zeyn, treasurer. The installation ceremonies will take place the first Tuesday in July. The fruit situation continues in a satisfactory condition. Never before in the memory of the oldest inhabitant have the vines borne such loads of grapes or the trees such quantities of fruit. We do not hear of any damage so far being done by blight or insects, and on the whole the prospect is as pleasing as one could wish. The Bohemian glass blower is giving exhibitions of his skill in Anaheim. The entertainment is unique and well worth a visit by everyone. Prof. Grenier exhibits marvelous skill in manipulating glass, and it is interesting to watch him while at work. The exhibition will be continued throughout today and this evening. The next Episcopal social will be given at the residence of Mr. Zeyn on Thursday, June 22nd at 7:45 p.m. Admission 10 cents, ice cream 10 cents. The social given last week was largely attended and was financially and socially a complete success. Until the first of July the county poll tax is $2; after that date it is $3. Those who have not yet paid can do so by applying to Mr. A. Langenberger, who is authorized to issue receipts for poll taxes. “Professor” Charles Alphin, about as low and vile a creature, who pollutes the earth, was arrested by Marshal Tyler on Monday night on a charge of drunkenness and Justice Bailey sent him to the county jail for ninety days. The newest fashion is to send artificial flowers with the favorite perfume of the wearer. Just think of a rose in a St. Louis man's buttonhole, perfumed with old rye. California Crop Prospects Good Normal Conditions Prevail In Agriculture; No Over-Production California's crop prospects, while none is of a bumper nature unless Orange county's valencias might be classed as such, are very good and there will be no shortage, according to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway report recently released. "With soil moisture conditions and irrigation supply outlook the best in several years, crop prospects in California are very satisfactory," the statement says. "Normal conditions may be said to prevail, the tendency being to remove some of the danger of overproduction, especially in nuts and deciduous fruits. While official estimates on these crops are lacking, percentages are generally lower than last year and bumper crops are not indicated. However, there will be no shortage." "There is a heavy crop of valencia oranges which are now enjoying a fair movement under a controlled market. This restriction applies largely to the southern part of the state as most of the valencia crop in the San Joaquin Valley is out of the way, due to a better demand. Lemons are moving more freely." The report also indicated a good outlook for the sugar-beet crop in California, and Colorado. Potato shipments from the Wasco-Shaffer district of the state are well along. California's wheat crop is estimated at 10,000,000 bushels. The wheat crop is estimated at 440,800,000 bushels for the country as a whole as compared with a five-year average of 548,600,000 bushels. Wheat harvest started in Oklahoma this week and is expected to start in Kansas between June 10 and 15. Four States Will Picnic On Saturday Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia will hold their annual state picnics all day Saturday, June 11, at Sycamore Grove park, Los Angeles, society officials announced this week. Hot coffee will be served and badges supplied, but those attending—and that includes all former residents of and visitors from those four states—are asked to bring basket luncheons.
