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 JULY 11, 1907 The work of enlarging the Anaheim high school district will be taken up by Prof. Walker and the school board and an effort made to get the trustees of the several districts together for a formal discussion of the subject. The assessed valuations of the several districts are as follows: Anaheim, $852,535; Loara, $161,690; Garden Grove, $280,725; Magnolia, $118,435; Total, $1,413,385. Pupils from these outlying districts attend the high school which is in crowded condition. It is the desire of the district to enlarge the building in order to accommodate the increasing number of students. The following grammar-grade and primary teachers have been engaged by the Anaheim school trustees for the coming year: Prof. Waldorf, principal and teacher of eighth grade; Miss Bertha Schmidt, seventh; Miss Elenora Parker, sixth; Miss Louise Record, fifth; Miss Clara Carpenter, fourth; Mrs. Burgess, mixed grade; Miss S. Christensen, third; Miss Edith Knapp, second grade and principal of primary; Mrs. C. O. Waldorf, A 1; Mrs. Martha Owen Wallop, B 1; Miss Edna Ames, music. Katella school still to be supplied. Principal Walker will continue as principal at the high school. The faculty consists of seven teachers including music, drawing, all of whom have not yet been selected. The Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company have brought suit in the San Bernardino superior court to enjoin a number of Riverside irrigators from illegally diverting water from the Santa Ana river. Much water is being taken from the river by the Riversiders without warrant of law, and Mr. Fuller is said to be again up to his old tricks. This gentleman was two years ago perpetually restrained from illegally diverting water from the river, but it is said he is again taking water from the river and carrying it to non riparian lands.

The tempt this bill of fa The Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company have brought suit in the San Bernardino superior court to enjoin a number of Riverside irrigators from illegally diverting water from the Santa Ana river. Much water is being taken from the river by the Riversiders without warrant of law, and Mr. Fuller is said to be again up to his old tricks. This gentleman was two years ago perpetually restrained from illegally diverting water from the river, but it is said he is again taking water from the river and carrying it to non-riparian lands. Water is becoming scarce in the river, owing to these diversions of Riverside irrigators and a suit has been brought to enjoin the whole bunch from further diversion. The suit was to have been begun on Tuesday before Judge Oster, but was postponed. A. W. Phleps of the American Savings bank was operated upon at the California hospital in Los Angeles on Friday for appendicitis. Mr. Phelps was taken ill at the bank on Friday morning. Dr. Johnston was sent for and upon examination pronounced the case of appendicitis. Mr. Phelps was immediately taken to Los Angeles where the operation was performed in the afternoon. Word from the hospital yesterday was to the effect that the patient was resting easily with excellent prospects of speedy recovery. Miss Marie Horstman, as executrix of the estate of F. A. Korn, on Monday purchased at sheriff's sale the T. A. Darling property at the corner of Lemon and Broadway. The property was bid on at $2960.57. The mortgage upon which execution issued was for $2901.50. The sale was made at the Santa Ana courthouse. Darling has under the law a year in which to redeem. A number of other creditors filed liens against the property, but will probably be unable to recover. Fred Schmidt, superintendent of bridge building for the Santa Fe, has a force of ten men constructing four bridges north and south of this city which are made necessary by the new 85 pound steel rails the company is laying. Mr. Schmidt has driven piles for these bridges and will complete the work in a few days. The bridge across the Santa Ana river south of town will remain as it is, having been reconstructed a year ago. C. C. Miller was in town this week from Tuolumne county after an absence of something over a year. Mr. Miller's time was occupied in large part in shaking hands with former friends and acquaintances, whom he has met on every hand. He is engaged in farming in the northern part of the state, and will prospect the coming winter for mines. He says the mining industry in Old Tuolumne is in a flourishing condition, large quantities of ore being procured. He left yesterday for his home in Jamestown. Mr. Asher is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Asher, who is spending a few months in Germany visiting relatives and friends, stating that she is enjoying her trip very much and improving in health. Mrs. Asher will remain in Europe until fall. Anaheim irrigators are being served for the first time with water exclusively from the Yorba reservoir. The reservoir is as yet uncompleted, but fills a long-felt want in the shortening supply.

The reservoir is as yet uncompleted, but fills a long-felt want in the shortening supply of river water. George Wagner, L. Hennig, U. W. Hall and others are shipping a carload of spuds to Los Angeles daily, receiving about $2 per sack. There is a good profit at this price. A year or two ago spuds were selling at about $1.25 per sack at this season of the year. Jacob Stern has purchased 406 acres of land at Richfield, along the line of the new electric line from Los Nietos to Yorba. The road will continue up river canyon to Riverside. The land is being subdivided and will be placed upon the market in small tracts. Prof. Walker and family spent the Fourth at Laguna. Prof. Walker returned on Monday and yesterday attended the convention of the N. E., A. at Los Angeles. His family will remain for several weeks at the seashore. Hundreds of cases of berries are being shipped daily by express from this point. The fruit goes to San Diego, Los Angeles, Redlands and other Southern California points. On Monday Mr. Dickel shipped 158 crates of raspberries to Los Angeles. Every morning hundreds of cases are shipped to San Diego. M. Neipp was a visitor the past week to Oxnard. He found the town a lively business center and fine beet and bean crops extending for miles on every hand. Julius Schneider has been appointed horticultural commissioner for this district as M. Nebelung's term expired. Otto Zeus came down from Oakland the first of the week on a short visit to relatives. Hugo Strodthoff entertained the Four-Four's club at a tacky party at his home last evening. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 8, 1882 The sun rose bright on Tuesday morning—but not even a heat of ninety degrees can wilt or abate in the slightest degree the enthusiasm which permeates everybody on the "Glorious Fourth" and so despite the heat the great crowd entered into the sports and pasttimes of the day with a nerve and zest which were at once inspiring and enjoyable. And it was a crowd! Not only on the principal streets but on the shady byways the people thronged from about 9 in the morning until late at night. The wide publicity given the celebration and the excellent program attracted a myriad of people here. The decorations were exceedingly elaborate. Three triumphal arches spanned Center street and all the business houses and many private residences were embowered in flags, bunting, evergreens and flowers. The procession was all that had been promised and the patriotic exercises, games, and the "Awfully Horribles" parade in the afternoon offered a variety of amusement to the vast crowd. Mr. J. P. Zeyn as president of the day made the opening address, Theo Lynill Esq., read the Declaration of Independence, Rev. Schuldt offered prayer, the Glee club sang "America", and then the Hon W. A. Cheney, the orator of the day, was introduced and made an eloquent and inspiring address. The most noticeable feature of the day's celebration was the absence of all drunkenness and disturbance. This called forth no special comment from people who live about here, for although this is probably the largest wine producing town on the coast, there is infinitely less drunkenness, than in any other part of the state. This statement is made calmly and advisedly, and we challenge contradiction. So used are we to this state of things that it is mentioned here only because many strangers spoke to us in terms of praise and astonishment at the exemplary conduct of the people, where wine flowed as free as water.

The tempting bill of fare at the Planters Hotel (we published this bill of fare last week) had the effect of crowding the dining room of that popular house for hours and the excellent dinner furnished to guests assisted in putting them in the best of humor. The Board of Town Trustees met in regular session on Wednesday afternoon. The application of Chas. Wille for permission to use steam from the boiler was referred to the committee on public improvements. The condition of the Fire department was discussed, and it was resolved to build an engine house on the town lot where the fire bell is, have the apparatus well taken care of and as fast as possible provide additional apparatus for the extinguishment of fires. The request of the Fourth of July committee for a donation of $25 was granted. The board then adjourned to meet as a board of equalization on the 27th, 28th, and 29th, of the present month. The once commonly-held idea, that the owner of an orange grove had to wait ten years before his trees began to remunerate him, is long since exploded. The budding of trees and more accurate knowledge concerning their care and cultivation has made orange growing as speedily remunerative as grape growing. For instance, on a visit to the ten-acre orchard of Mr. W. C. Dimock last week, we saw thrifty trees only three years old, that were loaded with fruit. The second year, in addition to what was used by the household, over one hundred dollars worth were sold, and this year Mr. Dimock estimates that he will be able to sell a thousand dollars worth of oranges. At the installation of the officers of Anaheim Lodge No. 85, A. O. U. W. on last Monday evening a large delegation from Santa Ana lodge lent their assistance. They were cordially received and a lunch at the Planters hotel after the ceremonies comforted them in their homeward midnight ride. The Santa Ana lodge installs its officers on next Tuesday, and a large delegation from Anaheim expect to be present. Attention is called to the card of Prof. W. A. Packard formerly teacher of music in Napa College, who has brought property here and settled permanently. In a week or two he will make a personal canvass for pupils, and we doubt not that he will be successful in securing a large class. Westminster items—The school trustees have accepted the application of M. A. Wheeler of Los Angeles as teacher of the grammar department and Miss Warren will continue as teacher of the primary grade.—Mr. and Mrs. David McFadden and Mr. Jas. McFadden and family returned from San Juan Hot Springs last Monday. David McFadden finds his health much improved and will probably return to the springs shortly.—Mr. J. Y. Ander- Westminster items—The school trustees have accepted the application of M. A.

McFadden and family returned from San Juan Hot Springs last Monday. David McFadden finds his health much improved and will probably return to the springs shortly. Mr. J. Y. Anderson sprained his ankle on Monday. We notice a good deal of corn on the way to the depot. Mr. Wm. H. Edwards has shelled 2,500 or 2,600 sacks. A party of hunters left on Wednesday for Elizabeth lake after bear, deer and other game. We heard them talking of the fine time they would have cooking venison in bear grease. A small band of migratory Indians, traveling northward, camped near the advanced lines of the coming crickets in Lassen county. They immediately set to work and dug a trench herded in some four bushels of the traveling pests and had a "high you" feast. The Susanville Advocate says: Crickets are coming in immense hords. They are now within a half mile of town. Quite a force of men, women, and children have been fighting them. Should they invade the village, its beautiful gardens will soon be reduced to barren wastes. Fashion Notes—Horsehair bristles appear in some of the new French dresses and some of new plates represent all of the figures wearing hoop shirts. Skirts are wider and the draperies are very bouffant, crinoline and stiff muslin are placed under them over the skirt. A pretty new style of overskirt has the front laid in kilts, shortening toward the side. The substitute for the basque with which economical ladies wear out their old dresses is the polonaise, with side drapery arranged in festoons, and the back drapery hanging nearly to the hem of the skirt. A new summer cloak is composed of row upon row of lace covering cashmere cut in dolman shape. The only trimming is a graduated series of rows of fringe set in the center of the back and down the front. Mr. James D. Ott left on Monday for Greenville, Va., to be gone for about six weeks. His visit is not entirely unconnected with a matrimonial venture in which he will play a conspicuous part. In short he is to be married to one of the fairest daughters of Virginia. We tender our warmest congratulations in advance. Anaheim, Calif., June 30, 1932 Fair’s Finance Woes To Be Aired Suit Filed Asking 145 Members To Pay $87.71 Proration Share The 145 members of the Orange County Fair association who H. A. Lake, Garden Grove lumber dealer who was president of the association two years ago for the financially disasterous fair, claims haven't paid the $87.71 each due from losses of the association, will have to answer in court as a result of a suit filed last Friday morning. The action was taken by Attorney D. G. Wettlin for Mr. Lake who has carried the financial burden of the association for some time. The total involved is $41,311.50, which Lake claims is due for labor and material supplied the association from 1928 to 1932. One claim is for $13,375, advanced January, 1932. The attorney states that the amount asked from each is based on a proration among the 399 members, 145 of whom are listed as not having paid their share. There are 22,156 horses left in New York City. What's equally interesting is that the city has 406 blacksmiths. July 4 Week-End Dangerous Period Unless motorists exercise unusual alertness and care, a traffic accident peak for the year will be reached over the July 4th week-end, says a warning issued by the public officials. The fact that Independence Day this year comes on Monday and that many business institutions now are closed all day Saturday, provides a full three-day holiday, which will allow for rather extensive motor trips.
