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 and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 15, 1882 Some months ago Judge McNealey of San Diego, before whom the case of the Anaheim Water company vs. the Semi-Tropic Water company was tried, gave a decision for the plaintiffs, giving them the right to use about 2,000 inches of water at all times and seasons. The same Judge has just filed his decision in the case of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company vs. the Anaheim Water company. The gist of the decision is that Anaheim is entitled to as much water as may be necessary to fill its ditch, after which the S. A. V. I. company may take one-half of the water remaining in the river, this decision being subordinate to the one previously rendered. The following officers of Santa Ana Lodge A. O. U. W. were installed on last Thursday evening: A. Waite, M. W.; H. Neill, F.; H. O. Parten, O.; G. E. Freeman, Recorder; H. B. Dibble, Financier; A. Forster, Receiver; L. Goepper, Guide; W. O. Claytin, I. W.; C. A. Mosher, O. W.; Dr. J. A. Crane and Dr. A. J. Howe, medical examiners. A delegation of eleven members of Anaheim lodge assisted in the installation, and after the ceremonies they were invited, after a time-honored custom, to a banquet. It was eleven o'clock when the visitors seated themselves in the coach and started for home. The night was pitch dark and the stage had gone but a few yards when the horses ran into an undiscernible pile of bricks which encroached upon the street. The horses were thrown down and simultaneously the coach gave a hurch forward precipitating three of the outside passengers to the ground. Mr. Adolph Rimpau was thrown between the two fallen wheel horses, but escaped without injury. Mr. C. E. Leonard was thrown upon the pile of bricks and received injuries about the face from which the blood flowed copiously. Mr. L. F. Lewis was also thrown to the ground and sustained several bruises. Fortunately, the horses were so entangled, that they could not regain their feet until assisted, otherwise The bunches of luscious grapes hanging near the roadside prove a temptation which some people cannot resist, and now that grapes represent a big money value, the loss from predatory incursions into vineyards is too heavy to be borne with equanimity. Therefore, know all persons who look with envious eyes on the grape when it is red, that August Lippe has been engaged to patrol the various vineyards in town and is duly authorized to arrest any person whom he may see unlawfully despoiling the vines of their fruit. His instructions are also to kill all poultry found in vineyards, so that chicken owners should see that their fowls are herded in their own yards. Mr. C. W. Davis, the noted architect of Los Angeles, was in town on Tuesday. He is the designer of the brick-building now being erected on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, and as a result of his inspection says that the building is being erected in a very substantial manner and gives the contractors great praise. Mr. Davis has also drawn plans for the building which the Bank of Anaheim will erect adjoining the buildings just referred to. When this grand improvement is completed Mr. Davis informed us it would be the finest looking block in the county. At a meeting of the County Board of Education, it was resolved to renew all second grade certificates issued in July, 1880. The following are the names of the persons whose certificates were by this order renewed: C. W. Campbell, Mrs. Emma H. Reeves, Minnie F. Joslin, Julia A. Breed, Mrs. N. C. Dunsmore, F. E. Grover, Ada Couner, P. G. Wooster, Eva Holt, Birdie F. Austin, Eva Bisbee, Kate Caystite and Mrs. Josphine Saxon. A first grade certificate was granted to Miss Florella King upon a Life Diploma. H. C. Hubbard of San Fernando and Walter S. Maxwell of Los Angeles have been appointed as members of the Board of Supervisors of this county by Governor Perkins. They have been appointed in consequence of an opinion of Attorney General Hart, who holds that Los Angeles county, having a population of more than 20,000, is under section 4006 of the political code, a county of the first class and for that reason should have, under section 4020, a board of seven supervisors. An ingenious scarecrow has been constructed by Mr. J. Bennerscheidt. It is made of tin, fashioned somewhat after a windmill, and the revolving wheel (which the slightest wind propels) causes a number of sticks to beat a tattoo on a tin drum, making a racket which it is expected will frighten the birds away from selves in the coach and started for home. The night was pitch dark and the stage had gone but a few yards when the horses ran into an undiscernible pile of bricks which encroached upon the street. The horses were thrown down and simultaneously the coach gave a hirch forward precipitating three of the outside passengers to the ground. Mr. Adolph Rimpau was thrown between the two fallen wheel horses, but escaped without injury. Mr. C. E. Leonard was thrown upon the pile of bricks and received injuries about the face from which the blood flowed copiously. Mr. L. F. Lewis was also thrown to the ground and sustained several bruises. Fortunately, the horses were so entangled, that they could not regain their feet until assisted, otherwise a runaway would have resulted, with probably serious injuries to those who were inside the stage.

A very successful cheese factory is in operation on what is known as the old Sears settlement near Westminster. The proprietors pay $1.15 per one hundred pounds for milk delivered at the factory. Many of the housewives of Westminster, however, (who are famous buttermakers) find it more profitable to keep their milk and make butter at 65 cents a roll. The Sunday school convention which was in session in Los Angeles on Tuesday and Wednesday, elected the following vice-presidents: E. A. Saxton, Anaheim District; G. C. Mack, Fountain Valley District; Miss Mamie Wall, Tustin District, F. N. Wells, Orange and Santa Ana Districts. Bishop J. J. Esher of the Evangelical association will preach in the Presbyterian church tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock and in the evening at 7:30. The sermon in the morning will be in the German language and in the evening will be part in English and part in German. An attempt is being made to revive the Sixth District Agricultural association, and at a meeting held in Los Angeles on Wednesday Gov. Downey, Wallace Woodworth, Col. Baker, W. J. Broderick and E. McGinnis were appointed to canvass the city to secure subscriptions. If they meet with success, a Fair will be held this fall. Mr. A. T. J. Voight left on Wednesday morning for Texas. He desires through this medium to bid good bye to those friends whom he did not have the pleasure of seeing personally before he left. A party comprising Messrs. Otto Rust, Arthur Lewis, Lionel Browning, J. Holman, J. D. and W. S. Fish left on Wednesday for Santa Catalina where they propose to remain for several weeks. S OF LONG, AGO History and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 18, 1907 At a meeting of local nimrods held at the armory Saturday evening a gun club to be known as the Olinda Game Reserve was organized. Herman Stern was elected temporary chairman and N. B. Tedford secretary. On motion of N. F. Steadman the gentlemen were elected permanent officers of the club. The reserve includes 4000 acres of hunting grounds on the Olinda ranch, a lease of the same for one year having been secured from Mr. Stern. The tract contains fine dove flights and quail are also plentiful. Rules governing the club were adopted and the new organization starts off auspiciously. A keeper for the reserve is to be appointed later. Next Sunday a big barbecue will be given at the Olinda ranch house. Bill Fleischman has the affair in charge and further comment on that score is unnecessary. The club is limited to twenty-five and the members are as follows: Herman Stern, N. B. Tedford, Frank Fox, J. J. Schneider, N. F. Steadman, Walter Wuesthoff, George Miles, P. Nicholas sr., P. Nichols jr., T. J. Carroll, Louis Kroeger, Nick Hugo, H. Backs, N. W. Hall, Wm. Newbury, Herman Bennerscheidt, F. W. Fleischman, O. H. Schumacher, Wm. Loftus, James Welch, Russell Annin, W. Bonkosky, A. Walter, R. E. Longstreet, R. Fuller. That the recent hot spell injured the sugar beets is the statement elicited from persons whose interest it is to keep track of the prospects. It is estimated that the Los Alamitos crop alone will be 1000 tons short of what it was last year, and it is said the Chino crop suffers similarly. The sugar men say the crop and the output this year will be somewhat smaller than last, but the mills may run as long as three months. The whole beet crop was somewhat retarded by the excessive dampness at the seeding time, but still growers are going to do well. J. H. Clabaugh of the school board has received diplomas for POSTAGE . . . and harmony I remember when the letter postage rate was first reduced from three cents to two, in 1883. Twice since then it has been put back to the old figure, once during the World War and now under the new revenue law, beginning July 6. The standard color for the ordinary letter postage stamp has been red for so long that Uncle is printing thousands of millions of new three-cent stamps in red, instead of the purple three-cent stamps now in use. And as Washington's picture always appears on the most commonly used stamp, the head of Lincoln, which now adorns three-cent stamp will be replaced by that of the Father of His Country. I knew one old lady, now dead, who never would use a two-cent stamp on her letters. She used "mourning" stationery with a deep black border and the red color was inharmonious. So she used three-cent stamps because they were purple! MONOCLES . . . wrist watches The first man I ever saw wearing a monocle died the other day, John G. Milburn Jr., who came back from Oxford to Buffalo in the 1890's with a single glass stuck in one eye. Everybody laughed at him just as they did at Walter Nursey, the first man I ever saw wearing a wrist watch. Folks in America had the idea that monocles and wrist-watches were signs of effemacy. The fact is that both the monocle and the wrist watch are strictly milli- That the recent hot spell injured the sugar beets is the statement elicited from persons whose interest it is to keep track of the prospects.

The whole beet crop was somewhat retarded by the excessive dampness at the seeding time, but still growers are going to do well. J. H. Clabaugh of the school board has received diplomas for the applicants named below. Out of eighteen applicants only two failed. The diplomas may be had by applying to Mr. Clabaugh. Kathryn Hayden, Wayne Wells, Lizzie Hennig, Herbert Hansen, Olga Lange, Irene Mills, Syril Tipton, Wayne Goble, Elsa Asher, Horace Howard, Lucile Fox, Grace Bush, Harry Bowen, Harry Horwitz, Rachel Knapp, Lela Steadman. For many years a bunch of owls have held forth in the city hall tower. Of late their frequent raids on henroosts and pigeon houses has caused a protest from the neighbors. Marshal Steadman is undecided as to what mode to pursue in exterminating the nocturnal prowlers of the air. Some suggest poison, others that he climb the cupola and wring their necks, or he may enlist the services of Constable Mike Letten and indulge in a little shotgun practice as the pesky things fly over in quest of more of Herr Kistlers squabs. Engineer H. Clay Kellogg of the recently organized Newbert protection district, which has for its object the controlling of Santa Ana river storm waters, has made a report showing that a channel can be made from Fifth street in Santa Ana to the head waters of Newport bay that will be almost on a direct line. Articles of incorporation of the Salem church of the Evangelical association of Anaheim have been filed. The purposes of the church are the "promotion of the interests of religion in our midst and the spread of the scriptural holiness throughout the world." Trustees are Justin Schneider, William Pannier and Robert Hansen. Port Orange is making rapid strides. The boulevards and streets are already graded. The ditching for the water system is well under way and sidewalks will be begun this week. Some of the sidewalks are to be ten feet wide. From Summit drive can be seen San Clemente islands, seventy-five miles out, while at the same time a view of the mountains for many miles may be obtained. This drive also fringes the cliffs surrounding Newport bay and maintains an elevation of 100 feet above the water. Joseph Fiscus reports the walnut crop on his place larger than for many years past. The nuts for a while had a tendency to drop, but a liberal use of irrigation water stopped their falling. The same is true of other orchards in this section. Vineyardists say the grape crop is most promising. Unless an unprecedented hot spell should intervene the vines will yield a tremendous crop. Wine men say business is extremely good, with brandy up ten points since Saturday. MONOCLES . . . wrist watches The first man I ever saw wearing a monocle died the other day; John G. Milburn Jr., who came back from Oxford to Buffalo in the 1890's with a single glass stuck in one eye. Everybody laughed at him just as they did at Walter Nursey, the first man I ever saw wearing a wrist watch. Folks in America had the idea that monocles and wrist-watches were signs of effeminacy. The fact is that both the monocle and the wrist watch are strictly military devices. We got familiar with the handy wrist watch during the war, and nobody laughs now at a man who wears one. But few yet realize that the monocle was invented by an officer of the English Guards, more than a hundred years ago, when the order was issued that no officer might wear spectacles. Many officers wore spectacles. Many officers with one defective eye found thenasels in trouble until one of them had the bright idea of a single眼-glass which could not by any stretch of the imagination be called "spectacles." Why a man who has only one bad eye should have to wear two lenses has always puzzled me anyhow. BACHELORS . . . In high places Only one President of the United States has been a bachelor. James Buchanan never married. Presidents Tyler, Fillmore, Benjamin Harrison, Roosevelt and Wilson were each married twice, however, which brings up the average. Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland is the only man I think of in recent years even seriously considered, as a Presidential possibility who is a bachelor. It is so unusual for a man to achieve a high position without the aid of a wife that the few who have done so stand out. Another bachelor who got ahead in the world without feminine assistance was the late S. Davis Warfield, also a Marylander. He was Mayor of Baltimore and later President of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad. There is for most of us, however, no spur to ambition such as matrimony provides. RUTH . . . her father's daughter The defeat of Representative Ruth Bryan Owen at the Democratic Congressional primary in Florida removes a useful and interesting personality from public life, though I hope only temporarily. William J. Bryan's daughter could hardly take any stand on Prohibition than the dry position which she took, and she was defeated for renomination by a wet candidate. Like the good sport she is, Mrs. Owen has offered to resign on December 1, instead of sitting in the next session of Congress as a "lame duck." I feel safe in predicting that Mrs. Owen is not "out of politics." She Joseph Fiscus reports the walnut crop on his place larger than for many years past.

Wine men say business is extremely good, with brandy up ten points since Saturday. The Four-Four's club attended a performance of Maud Adams in L.'Aiglon in Los Angeles on Monday night. Among those in the party were Mr. and Mrs. Adams, Mr. and Mrs. Welborn Wallop, Mr. and Mrs. Bird Beebe, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Backs jr., Mr. and Mrs. Peter Weisel, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth, Mr. and Mrs. Hatzfeld, Miss Olga Zeus, Miss Winifred Melrose, Miss Anne Everhardy and Hugo Strodthoff. While hunting for ballot boxes in the cellar of the city hall at Santa Ana a few days ago the city clerk discovered a hundred sticks of dynamite. They are supposed to have been placed there by the former city marshal, having been taken from a group of boys who were experimenting with the explosives several years ago. A party consisting of Louis Kroeger, Wallace Scott and Richard Broderick departed on Thursday overland for two weeks outing at San Juan Hot Springs. The five hundred license tags intended to be given with hunter's licenses were exhausted Saturday evening and later thirty-five receipts were issued by County Clerk Bry Williams to persons who secured licenses to carry guns. The ten and twenty-five dollar tags have not been called for. Clarence Groat drove down from Los Angeles in his auto Monday, and in company with Frank Fox went dove hunting in the hills east of town. Both marksmen got the limit. The Carroll brothers were in town a few evenings ago in their new Maxwell and with a few friends went autoing over the county hereabout. A special election will be held in Loara School district on August 8, 1907 to vote on issuing $600 in bonds to pay for teacher and do necessary repair work on school house. Bryan Owen at the Democratic Congressional primary in Florida removes a useful and interesting personality from public life, though I hope only temporarily. William J. Bryan's daughter could hardly take any stand on Prohibition than the dry position which she took, and she was defeated for renomination by a wet candidate. Like the good sport she is, Mrs. Owen has offered to resign on December 1 instead of sitting in the next session of Congress as a "lame duck." I feel safe in predicting that Mrs. Owen is not "out of politics." She takes to politics like a duck to water, as might be expected of her father's daughter, and she has won respect in Washington and everywhere by her well-balanced outlook on public affairs and the high intelligence she has brought to her public service. SAWDUST . . . and power Chemists have long known that sugar can be extracted from wood, and out of sugar alcohol can be made. The problem has been how to do it cheaply enough to compete with the other sources of alcohol. Most of the alcohol used in America for industrial purposes (which is many times as much as has ever been used for beverage purposes) is manufactured from molasses, shipped in tanks from the sugar mills to the distilleries. In Germany the commercial production of alcohol from wood wastes by a new process which makes "ethyl" alcohol, instead of the poisonous "methyl" or wood alcohol, is proving successful. Twenty tons of sawdust and chips yield eight tons of sugar, which furnishes 1,300 gallons of alcohol, at a cost of half a cent a quart. With alcohol as cheap as gasoline the next step will be the development of internal combustion motors which will provide the world's motive power when the oil supplies shall have been exhausted. OILING TEHACHAPI ROUTE About four miles of the highway between Monbilith and Mojave are being oil-surfaced and traffic is subject to short delay. This is a section of the Tehachapi Route which extends from Bakersfield to Mojave. Citrus Disease Control Urged Regular Inspection of Trees Needed to Detect Scale By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG Farm Advisor Production of satisfactory yield of good quality fruit cannot be expected from subnormal trees. Scaly bark is one of the principal diseases responsible for weakened trees in the valencia orchards of Orange county. It is not unusual to find this bark disease in most of the mature orchards of the county. It is a comparatively slow-acting disease, but when once established in the tree, it can do considerable damage unless proper steps are taken to control its spread. The important details of control were demonstrated last week in a series field meetings where various stages of scaly bark disease were shown to large groups of growers from all parts of the country. Regular Inspections Regular annual or even semi-annual inspections of all the trees in the orchard are recommended in order that the disease may be detected in its incipiency. The sooner the disease is treated the less expensive its control and the more satisfactory the results. Scaly bark is recognized from its appearance of hard, rough and irregular scales of dead bark curling up from the surface of the bark either on the trunk or branches. Scraping the diseased areas and the apparently healthy bark for six or more inches beyond the scaly areas in all directions is the standard method of control. This is accompanied by using sharp tools and removing just the outer layers of the bark to assist nature in throwing off the affected tissues. Tells of Solution Disinfection of the scraped areas is desirable but not entirely necessary. Water soluble disinfectants are effective and satisfactory. One of the most popular disinfectants is the one... Wrist watches I ever saw wearing the other day, John, who came back from Buffalo in the 1890's with stuck in one eye. Everytime he just as they did, the first man I were a wrist watch, Africa had the idea that wrist-watches were signs that both the monocle watch are strictly milled. We got familiar with most watch during the early laughs now at a years one. But few yet the monocle was invented of the English Guards, hundred years ago, when issued that no officer spectacles.

Serapting the diseased areas and the apparently healthy bark for six or more inches beyond the scaly areas in all directions is the standard method of control. This is accompanied by using sharp tools and removing just the outer layers of the bark to assist nature in throwing off the affected tissues. Tells of Solution Disinfection of the scraped areas is desirable but not entirely necessary. Water soluble disinfectants are effective and satisfactory. One of the most popular disinfectants is the one percent solution of potassium permanganate which may be prepared by using one level teaspoonful of potassium permanganate to one pint of water. The solution should be kept in a glass or earthen recepticle. This material is not only effective but also economical. Detailed instructions for the proper control of ecaly bark or other citrus tree diseases may be obtained in bulletin form at the farm advisor's office. Watch Exchange, Tourists Warned Americans visiting Canada are likely to incur financial loss through rates of exchange unless they temporarily adopt Canadian money. Upon entering the domain Americans are advised to go to a bank and exchange American dollars for Canadian, in whatever amount they contemplate spending. Banks recognize the Canadian dollar is worth from nine to 22 per cent less than the American dollar, and will make due allowance. Elsewhere than in banks, however, the Canadian unit of currency is regarded as equal in value to the United States unit. ATWATER KENT---- GOLDEN VOICE COMPACT $52.50 FEARN— Easy Parking, 273 E.
