IN THE DAYS OF I Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 22, 1882 If Anaheim Landing was fifty miles from town instead of twelve miles, our people would appreciate its advantages more and resort there in larger numbers, on the same principle which induces people to buy articles which bear a foreign mark although they are inferior to the domestic product. The Landing is conveniently situated to Anaheim and surrounding towns, it has a good restaurant, comfortable lodging houses, a clean sheltered tract for tents, and the bathing beache is superior to that of any watering place on the southern coast. The breakers never get too boisterous, and there is a bay which is as placid as a pond for those who prefer that kind of bathing. In short it has a hundred advantages, where other resorts, to which people go in large numbers, have but one, and it is only a question of time for it to become the "boss" watering place of the county. The reputed danger from stingrays is mythical. There have not been more than half a dozen people stung in as many years. At Laguna, where there are no stingrays (according to popular tradition) three men were stung by them at different times last week. Among the real estate transactions of the week was the sale of Mr. Erwin Barr's 35-acre tract for $5000. The purchaser was Mr. Charles R. Brown of Tombstone, who kept a hotel there until the fire of a few months ago destroyed it. He has got a decided bargain in this purchase, and can congratulate himself upon having his money invested where fire cannot reach, nor thieves break through and steal. Of the 35 acres, twenty are in trees and vines, and Mr. Brown will the coming season transform the fifteen acres into vineyard and orchard. Mr. Barr has 16 acres of unimproved land directly opposite the place sold to Mr. Brown, and we are glad to know that he does not propose to leave us but intends to begin again the work of making a home on this land. of Mr. Erwin Barr's 35-acre tract for $5000.

The Republican County Committee met on Saturday and decided to hold a primary election on the 19th of August to select delegates in the different precincts of the county to the state convention to be held in Sacramento, August 30th. This plan dispenses with county conventions and the people themselves send their choice as representatives to the state convention. The Downey Signal says a rumor is in circulation in that G. W. Young, a watchmaker, who left that place some two or three weeks ago has been devoured by a grizzly bear. Mr. Young is reported to have started across the mountains for Calico on foot, and unarmed, with nothing but his indomitable courage and his trusty grip-sack. He had only proceeded about twelve miles up the canyon when he was attacked by a large grizzly bear. From the appearance of the ground a desperate struggle took place and Mr. Young made a desperate effort to preserve his life, but he was not able to cope with the infuriated beast. A few shreds of clothing, some watch-makers tools, a razor and other barber tools covered with gore, marked the spot where the encounter took place. A famous London lecturer speaking recently in that city said, in regard to present fashionable attire for our wives and daughters, "Dressed as women are, the less exercise they take the better for health. In fact, they are seldom fit to stand erect or walk a block, but should be rolled around or carried on a palanquin. Not one woman in 10,000 has room inside her clothes for the rise and fall of the ribs in breathing, and there is not one in 10,000 whose vital organs are not displaced by external pressure. While this is so, the less exercise the better." The semi-annual statement of the financial condition of the Bank of Anaheim is published today. It shows, by comparison with former reports, a substantial increase in business, which is the more notable when the fact is taken into consideration that by the establishment of new banks in neighboring towns business is more scattered than before. The management of the bank is judicious and careful, and there is no reason to doubt that its progress henceforth, will as in the past, be steadily onward and upward. Mr. S. H. Mott, the president, has shown his faith in the future of the town by the purchase of a lot on which he has already begun to build a banking house which promises to be one of the most handsome institutions of its kind in the state. The Board of Supervisors will on Monday open the bids for the purchase of the court house. Until it is known what the property can be sold for, it is impossible to express an opinion as to the advisability of building a new court house. A suitable and is more scattered than before.

Until it is known what the property can be sold for, it is impossible to express an opinion as to the advisability of building a new court house. A suitable and sightly building of the kind is needed and ought to be built if the cost is not too great. The school bonds were sold as follows: Orange school bonds, to Wm. Cardwell, $5,000 at 5 1-8 per cent premium. Mountain View school bonds to I. W. Hellman at 3 1-4 per cent premium. In the Board of Equalization the bee men made application for a reduction from $2 to $1 per hive, but the assessment was sustained. Judge A. Brunson is announced as a candidate for the Republican nomination for supreme judge, G. M. Holton desires to be the Republican candidate for district attorney in this county. Mr. A. E. White has purchased four acres of land on Los Angeles street from Messrs. Melrose and Dreyfus, and will, as soon as the season permits plant it with vines and trees and thus form the nucleus of a home. Attention is called to the card of Mr. H. C. Kellogg, surveyor. This gentleman is efficient and painstaking in his profession and we hope that persons in this vicinity who desire the services of a surveyor will confide their business to Mr. Kellogg. James Cavanaugh, a passenger on the Arizona train, died in the car on Thursday near Dos Palmas. The day was very hot and the man drank an excessive quantity of ice water, which caused his death. He was buried in Los Angeles. The Cash store is in receipt of a large invoice of goods purchased at the closing out sale of A. T. Stewart & Co., New York. Go and see these bargains. Butter and eggs taken in exchange. The residence of Mr. J. M. Guinn on Center street is for sale. Full particulars can be had on application to Mr. John Hanna. A. Langenberger is building a brick building to be used as a distillery. The building is 29x40 and will be fitted up with the latest improved distillery machinery. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 25, 1907 The city trustees held a special meeting Friday evening and granted C. Schindler & Son an extension of time in their contract with the city for constructing side walks on Chartres, Chestnut, Oak and Claudina streets. The time limit on the original contract expired on July 22nd. On recommendation of the superintendent of streets the council accepted the sidwalks on Chartres and Oak streets. Three were present Trustees Rust, Fiscus and Darling. Work upon the new concrete tower for the water works is progressing rapidly and will soon be ready for the tank. The cement well pit also being rushed to completion is of a substantial character and together with the two fine wells forms a valuable asset to the city's water works. The new enlarged water mains are being laid and quite an activity pervades the various city departments. Many new water and light consumers will be added to the list just as soon as the water works and electric light improvements are completed. The present plant has been overloaded for months past, owing to the rapid growth of the city, and with the enlarged and modern power house equipped with the best and latest improved machinery, the city's municipal plant will be one of the best in the state. The Fraternal Brotherhood held joint installation with the Fullerton lodge at the latter place on Wednesday evening. Sister Supreme Vice-President Neidig of Los Angeles conducted the installation. A banquet followed the official ceremonies. The following officers of Anaheim lodge have been elected to serve for the ensuing term: J. W. Dickenson, president; Miss Hanna Horwitz, vice-president; Mrs. H. A. McWilliams, secretary; J. W. Howard, chaplain; Mrs. Paschall, sergeant; Mrs. J. H. Clabaugh, THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON (Correspondence to the Gazette) Washington, D. C.—Outside of partisan politics, which still centers largely around the question of Prohibition, the most important topic of discussion here is still President Hoover's invitation to the world to reduce all land armies to their "police component," to abolish bombing planes, cut down battleships by one-third, reduce other naval craft by a quarter, cut submarine tonnage to a maximum of 35,000 tons per nation, abolish tanks, large mobile guns and chemical warfare, and so reduce the cost of military and naval expenditures by one-third. This would "save the people of the world from ten to fifteen billion wasted dollars" the President estimated. Nobody expects the rest of the world to accept this proposal in full, but it is the belief of those in closest touch with foreign sentiment that it will have a powerful effect on the Disarmament Conference. Relief Bills Far Apart How far the relief bill, which is the final act in the Congressional comedy, will go toward reducing taxes is still another question. Each house has passed a bill authorizing the raising of a couple of billions by bond issues, for use in public works and for loans to states for relief work. The President has said he doesn't like either bill in as far as it provides for the use of such funds for non-repaying public works, which would merely add to the taxpayers' burdens. The bills as passed by the House and the Senate were so far apart, and both of them so far from anything Mr. Hoover approves, that as this is written it is rather doubtful whether anything will come of this movement at all. Furlough for Pay Cut The Fraternal Brotherhood held joint installation with the Fullerton lodge at the latter place on Wednesday evening. Sister Supreme Vice-President Neidig of Los Angeles conducted the installation. A banquet followed the official ceremonies. The following officers of Anaheim lodge have been elected to serve for the ensuing term: J. W. Dickenson, president; Miss Hanna Horwitz, vice-president; Mrs. H. A. McWilliams, secretary; J. W.

County Clerk W. B. Williams has received 400 hunters’ tags from the fish commission and all but seventy-five of them were distributed to men who have already paid the $1 license fee and who had taken receipts so far 825 licenses have been issued in the county. The oldest hunter in the 825 is Henry Sievers of San Juan Hot Springs, aged 83, and the youngest is Jesse LeRoy Bush of Olive, aged 11 years. George E. Hart has sold sixteen lots of Corona Del Mar on the bluffs of Newport bay to the Columbia Trust company of Los Angeles. Restrictions are that the property for thirty years shall not be sold to, rented to, or occupied by any person of African descent, that no saloon, livery stable or store shall be built upon it, and no oil derrick raised there. The deed was signed July 16th. A deed from the state to James Irvine, owner of the Irvine ranch, of 223.14 acres of tide lands at the head of Newport bay has caused some alarm among sportsmen whi fear that a duck preserve may be made there. The document was signed by Henry T. Gage, then governor of California, on January 25, 1901. The deed covers the lands surrounding the shallow arm of the bay running inland several miles alone Port Orange. H. Clay Kellogg, engineer for the Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company on Saturday went to Scully’s point on the Santa Ana river for the purpose of securing data upon which to report concerning the advisability of putting in a submerged dam at that point. The river is between 400 and 500 feet wide there and it is believed that the dam will be built. An appropriation has been made for a drilling so that the character of the formation of bedrock may be determined, Engineer Kellogg things that is not more than thirty feet to bedrock. Miss Elsie Asher entertained a number of her friends at a party on Friday evening in honor of her fifteenth birthday. She was assisted by her sister, Miss Gertrude Asher, and an enjoyable evening was participated in. Games were played and refreshments served. Those present were: Misses Elsie and Gertrude Asher, Rachal Knapp, Irene Mills, Kathryn Havden, Anna Schindler, Lela Steadman, Marie Finney, Henrietta Hirshfeld of Los Angeles, Herbert Hansen, Karl Brandenberg, Syril Tipton, Wayne Goble, Gerald Hagar. Federal employees are breathing a sigh of relief over the adoption of the "furlough" plan of reducing their salaries, instead of the proposed ten percent cut. They have to take a month off each year without pay, but that is only an eight and one-third percent cut, and a large proportion of them have families outside of the District of Columbia who would be glad to have them come home for a visit of two months. Most of them get one month's vacation with pay anyway. Army of Prodigals The problem of the "B. E. F." meaning Bonus Expeditionary Force, which is still camped on the marshy flats of the Eastern Branch of the Potomac is a difficult one. Efforts are being made to get the states from which these 20,000 ex-service men came to provide for their repatriation. An observer who talked with many of these men found them the dependent type bred in industrial centers, who have always had somebody to look after them and don't know how to face the world when they are not on a payroll. They remember that when they were in the Army or Navy they had three good meals a day, clothing and shelter, and they have turned to Uncle Sam like the prodigal son to his parents. Everybody is sorry for them, but nobody seems to know just what to do. Washington hotel and business men are hoping there will be as much publicity about their departure as their was about their arrival. They say that the impression prevails that the city is terrorized by the B. E. F., and tourists are passing up Washington. There is no occasion for anyone to stay away from Washington on that account. It is the most peaceable crowd that the city has ever seen, and they stick pretty closely to their encampment. Borah And His Bolt Senator Borah didn't surprise anybody much, when he made an impassioned speech reading himself out of the Republican party because of the prohibition plank. The Senator from Idaho doesn't like the plank because it opens the door to the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, and he is the most stalwart of "drys." His friends are pointing out that it wasn't neces- Miss Elsie Asher entertained a number of her friends at a party on Friday evening in honor of her fifteenth birthday.

A barn belonging to Earnest Yarde west of town was destroyed by fire on Monday afternoon shortly after 3 o'clock. A horse, several tons of hay, a buggy and various farming utensils were consumed. Two pigs were so badly burned that they had to be killed. The fire is supposed to have been started by children playing with matches. The fire department responded promptly but an account of the distance from the city mains were powerless to stay the flames. Yarde was away at the time. No insurance was carried upon the barn or its contents. Word filters through from the hot springs that the boys from this city are enjoying themselves to the limit, hunting, fishing and telling blood-curdling stories anent adventures in the jugle abounding thereabout. The hurry orders for supplies received by some of the merchants of this city precludes all danger of a famine in that neck of the woods for a time at least. Mrs. L. H. Judson (nee Alice Warner) formerly of this city and sister of Will Warner and Mrs. J. M. Backs, died in Los Angeles at 9:30 o'clock on Tuesday evening. Funeral services will be held in that city at 1 o'clock this (Thursday afternoon). Richard Melrose of this city and Domingo Bastanchury of Fullerton were guests at the Hollenbeck hotel at the time of the fire which threatened for a time to consume the building one night last week. Each escaped in his night-clothes. After the subsidence of the flames, which were confined to the cupola, they returned to their rooms and procured their valuables and other belongings. Tim Carroll recently returned from a business trip through the northern and central parts of the state. Just as firmly convinced as ever, Tim says Orange county beats them all. Mrs. Grimshaw, Miss Alice Grimshaw, Mrs. Ed Pellegrin and Mrs. Bennerscheidt were visitors in Los Angeles on Monday. Fred Johnson and wife returned on Monday from a pleasant two-week outing at National City and Lower California. Borah And His Bolt Senator Borah didn't surprise anybody much, when he made an impassioned speech reading himself out of the Republican party because of the prohibition plank. The Senator from Idaho doesn't like the plank because it opens the door to the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, and he is the most stalwart of "drys." His friends are pointing out that it wasn't necessary for him to bolt the party, since the Chicago Republican platform explicitly declares that adherence to that particular plank shall not be a test of party loyalty. Senator Borah's enemies are quoting a remark attributed to Calvin Coolidge, when the former President learned that the man from Idaho rides horseback every morning. "I don't see how Borah and the horse ever agree which way to go," he said, which epitomizes the Idaho Senator's well-known tendency to get in the opposite side of every question. Silver Lining In Finance Senator Pittman's bill to authorize the Government to buy a billion and a half ounces of silver, coin it into silver dollars and issue silver certificates against it may or may not become law. It would bring the ratio of silver to gold in our treasury up to where it was when the present law, authorizing the issue of $500,000 of silver certificates, was adopted. Then we had about a billion dollars in gold reserves; now we have about four billion. Whatever happens to that proposal, there is a strong belief that the Summer will see a rehabilitation of silver to the position it occupied as money before the war, through international agreement. Plans are all laid for an international conference, probably in London, before the end of September. That would send up the price of silver and put the silver nations on more nearly an equal basis with the nations in international trade. That, in turn, would send up commodity prices and greatly help to bring back business and employment. DETOURS ON VENTURA Construction is still in progress on Ventura boulevard between Studio City and Calabasas and motorists will encounter several rough and dusty detours along the way. Great Line-Up In Oar Games All But One Nation Listed For Two or More Boat Competitions Announcing what is declared the greatest line-up of oarsmen ever entered in a rowing meet on American soil, a statement was issued yesterday by Olympic games officials that 16 different nations already have declared they will participate in Olympic rowing matches at Long Beach, and more entries are expected. Each one of the nations, with the exception of one, is listed for two or more competitions. When all of their craft are assembled in the Long Beach boat house, at least 75 of the lightest and speediest skiffs and shells in the world will be ready for action, the statement said. Lined up for the great occasion, are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, United States, and Uruguay. The United States, it was said, will enter pair oared boats, double sculls and four and eight oared craft. France and Italy are down for six competitions; New Zealand for five, and Brazil, Germany and Great Britain for four each. With rowing events scheduled for August 9 to 13, as one of the interesting novelties of the Olympic games period, which runs from July 30 to August 14, the oars exhibitions are expected to be one of the biggest drawing cards. Days of Happiness—For Some Now Days of Happiness—For Some Now Everywhere in the United States it's Summer now. School is out, and the small boy comes into his own. Is there any such complete, irresponsible happiness anywhere in the world as that of the schoolboy in the long Summer vacation? We can't remember that we ever were completely happy except in those two or three years each side of twelve, when we had nothing much to do, aside from a few chores around the place, from June to September. How many things a boy of that age finds to do in the Summer, swimming, fishing, berry picking, baseball, or just loafing around in the fields and woods with his dog. The country boy has it all over his city cousins in Summer. He can go barefoot without losing caste; he is not always running into a policeman to stop him from having a good time; he doesn't have to comb his hair and put on a clean collar every little while, and if there's a hole in his shirt or his breeches nobody worries much about it least of all the boy himself. The email boy isn't old enough to understand the troubles that worry his elders. He hasn't had enough experience to realize that life, for most people, between the ages of fifteen and say, sixty, is a succession of more or less tragic emergencies. School of course, is an awful nuisance, and eps him from being completely happy nine or ten months in the year. If we were asked to point out the happiest individual in the world we pick almost any country boy of twelve or thirteen, in the Summer.
