IN THE DAYS OF 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 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 1, 1907 There was no quorum at the meeting of the city trustees Thursday evening. Business of importance which was to have been transacted was consequently laid over until next meeting. A petition from property owners on the south side of Broadway, between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, asking permission to construct sidewalks on that thoroughfare was received. The two trustees present, Messrs. Fiscus and Darling, gave informal instructions to the engineer to proceed in the matter and give petitioners the desired grade lines for same, the residents being anxious to construct the walks at once. Failure of the honey crop in Southern California and other sections of the state will cause the importation of immense quantities of the product during the next year. Prices will soar and estimates are that the total crop this season will be but sixty cars against a normal average of 300 cars. There will be little comb honey. Unfavorable weather in May and June is the cause of the shortage. The crop in 1906 was an utter failure. Operation of the pure food law will prevent the sale of honey adulterated with glucose. Reports from sections that ordinarily produce from ten to fifteen cars are that there will be no output. Prices have already gone up in Los Angeles. Eight carloads of potatoes were shipped from Anaheim for the week ending the 27th. There has been quite a drop in the market price during the past ten days, and growers are now receiving only about $1.50 a sack, while two weeks ago there was an active demand for all spuds on hand at $2.15 a sack. Notwithstanding the drop in price, over $4000 worth of potatoes were shipped from here last week. One of the successful raisers of potatoes is George P. Nance, southeast of town. Off of eight acres he harvested 406 sacks of Eight carloads of potatoes were shipped from Anaheim for the week ending the 27th.

Off of eight acres he harvested 406 sacks of Burbanks averaging 118 pounds to the sack. He received $2.10 per hundred net, making a total of $1093.46. Orange county has been noted for years for its fine peanuts. They grow here larger than in Virginia or North Carolina and much larger than in foreign countries. There are sections all along the San Gabriel and Los Angeles rivers where this crop will grow as well as in Orange county in the rich bottom lands adjacent to the Santa Ana river. The Southern Pacific has a large force of men at work laying rails on its new cut-off from Smeltzer to Benedict. From the latter point the road connects with the S. P. tracks to this city. The road passes through Westminister and will save the company a haul of twenty miles, eliminating the run from Smeltzer to Newport and by way of Santa Ana to Los Angeles. Large quantities of celery are shipped from the peatlands and the cut-off will greatly facilitate handling the celery, besides the various other products raised in that prolific section. A bicyle belonging to Rev. Mitchell was stolen from the Presbyterian church last Wednesday evening. He had left it against the study steps, and when he went to look for it it had disappeared. On Thursday it was found in the weeds on West Broadway near the Rimpau residence. Rev. Mitchell is elated over its discovery. At the residence of the bride's mother on Broadway at 8:30 o'clock this evening, will be solemnized the marriage of Miss Nona Ione McWilliams to Orris A. Mullinix. The ceremony will be performed by Rev. B. A. Johnson of San Diego. Miss Edna McWilliams, sister of the bride will be maid of honor and Jack Visel of Santa Ana will accompany the groom as best man. Mrs. Morris Smith of Orangethorpe will play Mendellsohn's wedding march. After a short honeymoon tour the newly married couple will be at home to their friends in this city. We join their many friends in extending felicitations on the happy event. News comes this week from Columbia, Tenn., of the death in that city on Friday last of A. Merrifield, after a lingering illness superinduced by brights disease. Deceased was a brother-in-law to the editor of this journal and formerly resided here and in Los Angeles. News of his death comes as a shock to his many friends here. He leaves a wife and two grown sons. Wm. Fischer received a letter a few days ago from his brother and sister, who are visiting relatives in Hoboken, stating they are enjoying themselves immensely.

"Chilly" takes in the big ball games in New York and writes that in a recent issue of the New York World a full-page write-up was given Walter Johnson, the phenomenal pitcher, who has signed with Washington. Johnson pitched his first game with the Olinda team in this city and is destined to be a world beater. Mrs. A. B. Richardson and daughters, Iza and Helen, and the Misses Kate Rea, Lela Steadman, Lillie Zeus, Emma Backs. Edna Lyons and Violet Nebelung are spending a fortnight at Laguna Beach. The Independent Fruit company has shipped its last carload of valencia oranges, making ten carloads sent out the past few weeks. The growers were paid from $2.50 to $3 per box, net. Fred T. Rimpau forwards to us a box of Mexican agais from Fairbanks, A. T., in honor of the recent birth of his little daughter. The cigars have been passed around the office force and all hands are smoking the good health of Mr. Rimpau and his family. Dr. and Mrs. Beebe entertained most delightfully on Thursday evening at their home in honor of Mrs. Ida Churchill, Miss Nina Churchill and Miss Mable Leonard of Rochester, Minn. Music was provided by Mrs. Harry Dyer, Miss Bertha Abby and Miss Beardsley. While pumping water by the aid of a horse on the old Strehle place on Olive street, the animal backed into the well pit. It required an hour and a half of time to rescue the beast which escaped with but slight injuries. Peter Weisel will shortly begin the erection of a $3000 dwelling on Emily street. Miss George Bailey of Phoenix arrived yesterday and will spend some weeks visiting relatives and friends. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 29, 1882 Another important land deal was consummated this week through the agency of Mr. John Hannah. The sale was of Judge Evey's 160 acres west of town and the purchaser was Mr. Louis Schorn late of Texas. Ten thousand dollars was the price paid for the tract. Mr. Schorn takes possession in November, and until that time he will travel through the state visiting the various points of interest. Of the 160 acres which he purchased 28 acres are in vineyard, 12 acres in trees of various kinds and the balance has all been farmed. It is Mr. Schorn's intention to make extensive improvements upon the property during the coming winter. Judge Evey's reason for selling was that the place was too large for him to manage. The judge is not so young as he once was, and the care of 160 acres of land demands all the strength and vigor of a young man. He intends to purchase a smaller farm in this immediate vicinity, as he believes Anaheim to be the healthiest and most desirable place of residence in the state. The Gilder tract of land in North Anaheim has been curtailed by several sales lately made. The last one reported is twenty acres to Mr. William Wolf, who intends, it is said, to plant a vineyard thereon. The Board of Supervisors, sitting as a Board of Equalization raised the assessments of the Los Angeles Gas company from $49,500 to $60,000 being a raise of $10.50 on 18,000 feet of street mains. A motion to raise the franchise to $30,000 (the same as last year) was lost. The assessments of the various banks were sustained. The assessment of the S. P. R. R. Co., was raised $6500. Denis Kearny will speak in Anaheim on Monday, August 24th and in Los Angeles on the 23rd. His program does not embrace a speech at Santa Ana, but Lompoc is to be favored by his presence.

The town marshal gives notice that the water will be shut off from the premises of consumers who persist in wasting it. It has come to the knowledge of the authorities that in many instances water has been turned on gardens and allowed to run all night, and that in other cases it is allowed to run on gardens or lawns all day. The water is not furnished for any such purpose and consumers have no right to so use it. The recuperative powers of Southern California grain fields are wonderful. We have already spoken of the fact that fields which at one time looked as if they would not even yield hay, subsequently brightened up under the fogs and damp nights of the early summer and matured considerable grain. One of these fields was that of Mr. Peter Hansen of North Anaheim. He has just finished the threshing and his field yielded 28 sacks of grain to the acre, although it looked some months ago as if it would not pay to cut it for hay.. A similar good yield under the same conditions was made of the Kraemer ranch, and in fact numerous instances of the kind could be quoted. On Monday last a number of Philadelphians, chaperoned by Walter S. Moore of Los Angeles, visited Anaheim Landing where Mrs. Hughes (Mr. Moore's mother) and his sisters, Mrs. J. W. Landell and Mrs. Josephine Butler are among the campers. As these Philadelphians are but lately from the most famous watering places of the east, their opinion of the Landing as a bathing place is interesting. They declare it to be far superior to any watering place in the east with the exception of Cape May, of which it is the equal. They found it difficult to understand why such an excellent summer resort should be comparatively ignored—a fact for which we ourselves can give no clear explanation. The Anaheim Public schools will re-open on Monday, August 14th. The teachers are Mr. C. W. Moores, principal; Mrs. Alward, Miss Crenshaw and Miss King. The last named taught the Orangethorpe school last term and has a fine reputation as a successful teacher. Not only has Anaheim the finest school house in the county, but it is not too much to say that it has the best corps of teachers. Misses Rosa and Frances Schmidt and Alberto Langenberger arrived on Monday evening from Freiburg, Germany, where they have been attending school for nearly five years. Their welcome by their parents was nearly equaled by the welcome extended to them by the playmates of their youth. The several posts of the G. A. R. of this county will go into Misses Rosa and Frances Schmidt and Alberto Langenberger arrived on Monday evening from Freiburg, Germany, where they have been attending school for nearly five years. Their welcome by their parents was nearly equaled by the welcome extended to them by the playmates of their youth. The several posts of the G. A. R. of this county will go into camp at Santa Monica for one week, commencing on August 8th. An invitation is extended to all ex-soldiers of Anaheim and vicinity to accompany Santa Ana Post to the encampment. Special rates will be given by the railroad company. Mr. J. E. Stackpole of the Planters hotel can give inquirers all necessary information. Some months ago the vein in the Santa Clara coal mine. Santiago canyon, suddenly pinched out, and since that time the workmen have kept up a steady search for the other end of it. It was found a few days ago, but further prospecting is necessary before an opinion as to the value of the vein can be given. The statement of the financial condition of the Farmers and Merchants Bank, published today, shows it to be in a flourishing condition. A capital of $200,000 and a reserve fund of a quarter million dollars gives an assurance of solid safety to patrons of the bank. Mr. James T. Stewart, the plumber and tinsmith, purchased tools to the value of several hundred dollars during the week, and is now prepared to do work in all branches of his trade. He is at present engaged in making fruit cans by the thousands, and will sell them at very low figures. There's nothing like being sociable and neighborly. During an entertainment given by the Good Templars of El Monte last week three saloons which flourish in that vicinity were closed and the proprietors participated in the festivities. A doctor in Los Angeles has a microscope which cost $950 and with which he boasts of being able to examine "the structure of the muscular tissues of a filea." A party who went from Anaheim to Catalina a couple of weeks ago returned on Wednesday. They report having had a delightful experience. America, one of the most consistent users of any strictly Californian, has found that artising pays big dividends to A. P. Giannini, the board and founder of support of this belief, he obtained by the bank's "times" campaign which led upon newspaper return to the Bank chairman of its board called his advertising and told them that he took of America to do instructive, something in a would be helpful to Californiate state. The result was "Good Times" campaign. In 1932, the Bank of California newspapers, studio, outdoor and street But Giannini emphasized the bank's officials' paper advertising, with special through repetition, of the campaign. The following figures contention that news-giving pays. At the close of the 30, 1932, the 410 bank of America, located in communities, reported $51,600,000.00 in de-1000 new customers, Giannini points out that has been a tremendous speeding the return of California. Four dresses of their own making are giving four 4-H girls an educational tour of shrines of American history which is to cover 3,500 miles and last for three weeks. Each of the four was winner in their class at the national style revue, a feature of the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago last December. One of them, Annette Yonkelowitz, of Hoopeston, Ill., was named national champion. Her winning dress was a tailored wool outfit. Her three companions are Louise Morgan of Buchana, Ga., who won on a cotton school dress; Helen Louise Thomas of Amesville, Ohio, who won on a semi-tailored silk dress, and Mary Marley of Ashland, Mass., who won on an informal party dress. The tour started at Urbana, Ill., and continued eastward to Washington, D.C., where the party dropped in at the last day of the National 4-H Camp. While in this vicinity the party will visit the homes of Washington and Jefferson. Homes of favorite American authors are also in the itinerary, as well as the sites of major engagements in the Revolutionary, Civil and Indian wars. President and Mrs. Hoover will greet the tourists.
