IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of an Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 8, 1907 The two water companies, the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company and the Anaheim Union Water company, have joined together in the formation of a company to develop water in the Santa Ana river which will be distributed equally between the two companies. The name of the new corporation is the Santa Ana River Development company. Last week a deed from the two water companies to the new company of all the joint holdings of the two companies in the Santa Ana canyon was filed in Riverside county and thereby existence of the Santa Ana Development company was made public though it has been in actual existence since last April. According to the deed there are transferred lands, rights and appurtenances, located in Orange, San Bernardino counties where they form a conjunction at the head of the Santa Ana canyon, for the sum of $150,000. The development company gives in return a mortgage subject to the payment of two ten year notes. Rumor has it that Eastern capitalists are looking over the field preparatory to the construction of an oil pipe line connecting Olinda and Brea canyon fields with Colton, Riverside and San Bernardino. This would call for about 36 miles of pipe and would require one pumping station for forcing the petroleum over the Puente Hills. The consumption of oil in the district this pipe line would serve is estimated at two thousand barrels per day. The railroad rate for hauling this oil is upwards of 34 cents per barrel and the promoters of this pipe line claim they can move it at a cost of ten cents per barrel. The oil of these fields is of light gravity and can be transported cheaply by pipe line. James D. Schuyler, the eminent hydraulic engineer, inspected the Yorba reservoir on Monday in company with Engineer H. C. Kellogg. Mr. Schuyler is probably the foremost authority upon hydraulics and reservoir construction in the southwest, and it is require one pumping station for forcing the petroleum over the Puente Hills.

Schuyler, the eminent hydraulic engineer, inspected the Yorba reservoir on Monday in company with Engineer H. C. Kellogg. Mr. Schuyler is probably the foremost authority upon hydraulics and reservoir construction in the southwest, and it is pleasing to note that he commends Mr. Kellogg’s work in every detail. Mr. Schuyler prepared the original plans for the Yorba reservoir fifteen years ago and Mr.-Kellogg is carrying out the work of constructing the reservoir upon these specifications. Mr. Schuyler was pleased to note the programs of work upon the dam and said reservoir could not but be of inestimable benefit to the irrigators of the valley. Miss Marie Hortsman, a popular young lady of this city, was married on Thursday last at Orange by Rev. Deering of the Episcopal church to John J. Dwyer, a young business man recently arrived from the east. After a brief honeymoon spent at the neighboring seaside resorts they will return here and take up their residence in this city. The bride is a favorite in social circles in this city. The happy couple have the felicitations of their many friends for a long life of happiness and prosperity. C. Nichols, Henry Burdorf and M. Mickle of this vicinity, and Mr. Block of Santa Ana have returned from Oregon where they went some three weeks ago on a land hunting expedition. Their objective point was Klamath Falls, the latter thirty-four miles of their journey being made by stage over the roughest kind of roads. They are all agreed that Orange county is the one garden spot on the coast and that a 16 to 1 swap in acreage would be a poor one for an Orange county land owner to make with an Oregonian. A heavy frost was experienced while in the northern part of the state. Mrs. Sandilands is here from England visiting her son, Gerald Sandilands. Mrs. Sandilands formerly owned an extensive orange plantation in Placentia but since disposing of it has resided abroad. She will remain several weeks and will later go north to visit another son who lives in San Francisco. Subsequently she will return to Montreal where she will visit with other relatives and will then go to her home in England. G. W. Sherwood has sold a tract of twenty acres of walnuts at Fullerton for $17,000, the purchaser, being from Long Beach. Mr. Sherwood has made large investments in Long Beach property and rumor has it contemplates moving to that popular sea-side resort. Uncle Jacob Everhardy has returned from a three weeks’ sojourn at Murietta Hot Springs. His daughter, Miss Anne Everhardy went to the springs to accompany him home. Since his return his health is improved and he will probably be about again soon. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cassou and family have returned from a at Fullerton for $17,000, the purchaser, being from Long Beach. Mr. Sherwood has made large investments in Long Beach property and rumor has it contemplates moving to that popular seaside resort. Uncle Jacob Everhardy has returned from a three weeks' sojourn at Murietta Hot Springs. His daughter, Miss Anne Everhardy went to the springs to accompany him home. Since his return his health is improved and he will probably be about again soon. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cassou and family have returned from a week's sojourn at Coronado and Tent City. They visited at Tia Juana, the Sweetwater Reservoir, La Jolla and other places of interest, and report a very enjoyable time. Miss Annie Arnold, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Arnold of the West End, is critically ill at the family home. Yesterday her condition was reported as somewhat improved. Miss Eola Scott of Long Beach and her cousin Miss Jenkins of Houston, Texas, were guests of friends in Anaheim during the week. Miss Jenkins is out on the N.E.A. excursion and will return next week to her home in the Lone Star state. Samuel Kraemer was in town on Tuesday from his ranch in Placentia. Mr. Kraemer is one of the largest growers of walnuts in Southern California and says the present maturing crop will be larger than last year. He finds blight less in the trees than it has been for a number of years past. Earl Spencer, John Spencer, Syril Tipton, Paul Comstock, Edwin Miller and Wayne Goble expect to go to Huntington Beach on August 15th with the Y.M.C.A. camp. There have been a number of removals from one residence to another during the past week: W.H. Spake moved from his residence on Broadway, which he recently sold to Mr.E.E. Angell to the house recently vacated by A.Nagel on South Claudina street. E.E. Angell has moved in from Buena Park and taken possession of the residence he purchased from W.H. Spake.—Mr. Storm has moved into his new residence on West Broadway. Mr.Rose has moved into his new home on Alberta street. Dr.Flood has moved into the house recently vacated by Mr. Storm on East Broadway, A.Nagel has moved his family into the upper story of his recently erected store at the corner of Center and Claudina. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 5, 1882 The Board of Town Trustees met on Wednesday. An advance was introduced raising fines in several cases from $50 to $100. The committee on public improvements were authorized to build bridges on streets where necessary. The clerk was directed to advertise for sealed proposals for furnishing water pipes, it being the intention of the Board to extend the water main from Center street to Broadway. Other routine business was transacted and the Board adjourned to meet at 2 o'clock p.m. today to fix the tax levy. It is probable that the Board will adopt stringent rules to prevent the waste of water by patrons of the town water works. The Great Register of Los Angeles city for 1881 gives the following figures. Native American voters 1400; of these 319 were born south of the Mason and Dixon’s line and 1,801 north. The native Spanish vote is 484. The vote of the nations of Ireland number 203; of Germany 278; all others, including Jews, Slavs, French, Hungarians, etc., 538; making a total foreign vote of 1,014 against 1,884 of native Americans. The infant daughter of Rev. J. A. Emery died on Monday after a long continued illness which began with measles and developed into a complication of disorders. She was 20 months and 20 days old. The funeral took place from St. Michael's church on Tuesday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. Mr. Trew, who came from San Gabriel for that purpose. The church was most beautifully decorated and the large attendance gave evidence of the sympathy felt for the afflicated parents. The receipts of the County Recorder’s office for the month of July, amounted to the enormous sum of $1,293.90. On Wednesday, August 2nd, twenty-five deeds were recorded and but six after a long continued illness which began with measles and developed into a complication of disorders. She was 20 months and 20 days old. The funeral took place from St. Michael's church on Tuesday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. Mr. Trew, who came from San Gabriel for that purpose.

The receipts of the County Recorder’s office for the month of July, amounted to the enormous sum of $1,293.90. On Wednesday, August 2nd, twenty-five deeds were recorded and but six mortgages made, while three mortgages were cancelled, equal to three or four times the six recorded. This is a remarkably healthy state of affairs for Los Angeles county from a business point of view. The trial of Dr. G. S. Allen of Los Angeles, charged with wife-beating resulted in the following verdict: "We the jury in the above entitled case find the defendant not guilty as charged in the complaint, for lack of evidence, but are morally convinced of the truth of the charge." Witnesses testified that Mrs. Allen was beaten, that she had admitted that her husband had done the mauling, but when the lady was placed on the witness stand she refused to answer any of the questions put to her, hence the failure to convict and punish the brute. The following is the thermometrical record of Arizona: A well known gentleman of Los Angeles informed us yesterday that a few weeks ago, he sent a box of fresh eggs to a friend in Arizona. The package reached its destination all right but was not opened. The other day the party in Arizona having occasion to use some eggs, opened the box, when out hopped a flock of as lively chickens as were ever seen. The Anaheim band has been adding to the beauty of the moonlight nights by a series of serenades. Miss Carrie Seibert, who returned on Sunday to school in Oakland was the recipient of a serenade on the evening before her departure, and in Tuesday evening a similar compliment was paid to the Misses Schmidt and to Miss Engler of San Francisco, who is a guest of Mrs. Conrad. On last Sunday Miss Claudio Portilla was riding on horseback and when on Palm street the horse became frightened and started to run away. A young man caught hold of the bridle, giving it a strong jerk, which had the effect of throwing the horse on its haunches and Miss Portilla to the ground. The lady was very seriously injured one rib being broken and her collar bone fractured. Work has been resumed on the mine of the Santiago Gold and Silver Mining company in Santiago canyon. An accumulation of water in the shaft stopped work some time ago and a tunnel is now being run under the vein so that the water is again incountered, it will run off, thus obviating the necessity of pumping it out. The energy and pluck displayed by the owners of the mine certainly deserve reward, and we hope that their recompense is in the near future. An individual named Fulton temporarily in charge of Work has been resumed on the mine of the Santiago Gold and Silver Mining company in Santiago canyon. An accumulation of water in the shaft stopped work some time ago and a tunnel is now being run under the vein so that the water is again incountered, it will run off, thus obviating the necessity of pumping it out. The energy and pluck displayed by the owners of the mine certainly deserve reward, and we hope that their recompense is in the near future. An individual named Fulton, temporarily in charge of the telegraph office here while the regular operator was enjoying a vacation, levanted on Friday of last week with the receipts of the office—about $40. It has also been discovered that he appropriated $50 from the San Bernardino telegraph office and the W. U. company want information as to his present whereabouts. The Anaheim and Santa Ana papers are discussing the relative importance of the two towns. As it is not our fight, we shall only remark in passing that both communities seem to be advancing at a very satisfactory pace.—Los Angeles Express. Our neighbor is in part mistaken. The Anaheim paper has never discussed the relative importance of the two towns. It persistently "writes up" Anaheim, but never "writes down" other towns. It leaves that dirty work to the queer creature who controls the Santa Ana Herald. One of the young daughters of Richard Heimann of Los Angeles (who is here with his family on a visit) was thrown from a buggy on Wednesday and received severe and painful bruises. The buggy in which she was riding was subsequently wrecked by the horse running away. E. J. (Lucky) Baldwin, who is in New York on business, when asked his opinion as to the feeling in the southern counties relative to a division of the state answered that the idea originated with the politicians and there was nothing in it. He said the people do not wish it. The interests of the two sections are the same and there are no geographical or other reasons why the division should be made. Mr. John Lowe and Mr. George Irvine had a very narrow escape from drowning at the Laguna Beach on Tuesday while engaged in fishing on the beach. A strong undertow swept them off their feet and took them out, but fortunately a succeeding wave threw them upon the rocks. Their escape from drowning is almost miraculous. Duck Season To Run Two Months Dates From Nov. 1 to Dec. 31 Double That of Last Year California duck hunters received some good news this week when the U.S. Biological Survey issued notice that the duck season for this year would be from November 1 to December 31. A two months shooting season had been recommended by the state Commission. Last season the hunters were limited to one month. The Biological Survey also announced a bag limit of 15, and a possession limit of 30. The Commission recommended a possession limit of 15. Under the decision of the Survey, not more than 10 redheads, canvas backs, blue bills or teal may be in any bag limit. Use of levi geese as decoys is prohibited by the federal order. The U.S. Biological Survey arrives at its decision to fix lengths of seasons, and bag and possession limits after receiving recommendations from fish and game commissions throughout the United States, which are gone over also by the Migratory Bird Advisory Board. $900 Offered For Sewing Champs Competition in every conceivable form of needle and thread and embroidery work as well as articles made on the sewing machine is provided in the domestic arts department of the 1932 State Fair which opens in Sacramento September 3rd. Director Ellis Franklin of Colfax announces that prizes and ribbons aggregating nearly $900 have been offered for the winners. Entry blanks may be procured by writing to Charles W. Paine, secretary of the State Fair, Sacramento. The Olympics ... and the best defense is an offense Olympic boxers must strive to place their wallops to the best advantage, in their battles to win championships. So it is with merchants and business men. They must place their sales wallops where they will "get results."
