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 15, 1907 Voters in the Anaheim school district voted yesterday upon a special school tax of $2,000 for making repairs and improvements to school buildings in the district. The money is to be used for painting the school buildings, for repairing roofs and for constructing a fire escape at the Central building. At the polls the sentiment at noon seemed to be in favor of carrying the tax. As we go to press Wednesday afternoon voting is progressing slowly with no great amount of interest centering in the election. It is probable the special tax will be voted upon affirmatively. The city trustees have completed their settings as a board of equalization, and report the total valuation in the city at $786,839. Last year's total aggregated $728,650. This year's increase amounts to $58,189. The increased values are apparent as follows: Real estate $5,820; improvements, $47,615; personal property, $13,539. Against this is the following decrease: Improvements on property other than owners $760; money on hand, $8,025; total $8,785. The net increase is $58,189. Engineer Nolenberg of Los Angeles has been here during the week assisting Engineer Lewis in connecting the new water mains with the system now underground. The larger mains at the junction of Center and Los Angeles streets were joined on Monday night. Water was turned out of the mains at 7 o'clock and remained out until 10:30. The men in charge of the work with several assistants worked until 5:30 on Tuesday morning, when the several crossings and other connections were made. One of the connections leaked and it was necessary to again turn water out of the mains early yesterday morning when another attempt was made to stop the leak. Mr. Nolenberg is an expert machinist and has been employed to assist Engineer Lewis in joining the new water mains with the larger pipes already in service. mains with the system now underground.

Walter Johnson and Jack Burnett, the two Anaheim boys in the big eastern league, are holding their own in fast company, and their work this week is of the gilt-edged variety. In a game against Cleveland, Johnson out pitched his rival winning the game for Washington by a score of 7 to 2. Burnett has caught on with St. Louis, batting is over 300, and his fielding is a feature of every game in which he plays. A 50-foot lot on Center street opposite Philadelphia was this week sold by L. A. Evans to B. Hartfield for $1600. A year ago the lot was sold by L. Nemetz to Evans for $700. A 50-foot lot adjoining it, on the corner of Hedwig street owned by Joseph Helmsen this week brought an offer of $2500. The offer was refused. Manager Schwenckert of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company announces that an additional section to the switchboard in the local exchange office will be installed in a few days in order to meet the constantly increasing business of the company. This will mean the employment of an additional operator. The exchange has more than 300 subscribers and the number is being added to daily. Miss Roerden of Placentia, who delivers butter in town twice weekly, had her buggy demolished in a runaway accident on Friday. While in Hartfield's jewelry store, her horse, which had been left unhitched in front of the establishment, took fright at a passing auto and started to run. It was caught at Dickel's but not before the rig had been badly wrecked. At a meeting of the citizens of Imperial a few days ago, at which almost every business house of that place was represented, it was decided on unanimous rising vote to proceed with a contest of the election in one or more precincts where glaring frauds were perpetrated in the recent county division election. Miss Juanita Cayce, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rex Cayce of Santa Ana, was married at her home on Monday evening to Samuel Dodd, a member of the Los Angeles fire department. George Kammerer and Cathaline Enock of the oil wells were married by Rev. C. A. Young at his residence in Santa Ana on Wednesday evening. A number of friends were present at the ceremony, and accompanied the happy couple on a short auto drive after the ceremony. Miss Lily Krebs of Azusa has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. W. J. Fischer the past week. Saturday evening Miss Maude Kester of Los Angeles came down for a short stay. George Kammerer and Cathaline Enock of the oil wells were married by Rev. C. A.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry Moore and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hatton are here from Whittier on a visit to Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Hayden. Mr. and Mrs. Moore expect to leave next week on an eastern tour. Mr. Green of Miraflores sold 50 tons of chili peppers to Los Angeles parties at $22.50 per ton. Mr. Green has thirty acres of the best peppers he ever raised and says he has no more for sale at these figures. W. A. Wallace is at Lake Elsinore where he went some days ago in an endeavor to regain his health which has been precarious of late. Mrs. Wallace accompanied him. She returned on Saturday bringing word that Mr. Wallace is improving. Cashier Phelps of the American Savings bank, who was some weeks ago operated upon for appendicitis has recovered sufficiently to leave the hospital and is now at his father's home in Los Angeles. He expects to be able to resume his position in the bank shortly. John Gerken spent Sunday in Corona a guest of Steve Cottle. He reports Steve just as slender as ever but withal doing a prosperous business. Mr. and Mrs. Napoleon Hart and Miss Diedrich departed on Tuesday for San Diego where Mrs. Hart will remain several months, and will consult a specialist in that city. Ted Dickel, Favette Lewis and Ernest Clabaugh leave for Berkeley on Saturday to resume their studies at the university, after spending their vacation at their homes in this city. Richard Melrose leaves today for a two weeks business and pleasure trip to San Francisco. He will be accompanied by his daughter, Miss Winifred, 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 12, 1882 The executive committee of the Republican County committee met last Saturday to receive and act upon the report of the committee on apportionment. The following report was adopted, showing the precincts as apportioned, each precinct electing one delegate to the state convention, giving the county ten delegates and the city six, as follows: Anaheim, Fountain Valley, Westminster1—Orange, Yorba, Tustin City, Silverado, San Juan Capistrano, 1—Compton, Florence, San Antonio, 1—Santa Ana, 1—Wilmington and Vernon, 1—Cienega, Cahuenga, Ballona, Santa Monica, Monte Vista, Los Virgenes, 1—Downey, Los Nietos, Norwalk, Garden Grove, 1—Pasadena, San Gabriel, Duarte, 1—El Monte, Azusa, Spadra, Pomona, Old Mission, 1—San Fernando, Ravena, Newhall, Sepulveda, Elizabeth Lake, 1. The matter of the apportionment of the city (Los Angeles) was deferred until today pending the probable redistricting of the city by the council. The committee, in combining the precincts as above, have made a ridiculous mess of it. The combination of Anaheim, Westminster and Fountain Valley appears absurd—it could not have been more so if they had added Elizabeth Lake. It looks to a man up a tree very much as if the precincts had been gerry-mandered. The primaries will be held on August 19th between the hours of 2 and 6 p.m. The polls at Anaheim will be at the Planters hotel, J. P. Zeyn, judge. At Westminster the polls will be at the school house, Joseph Guiberson, judge. The polling place at Fountain Valley has not yet been decided upon. Mr. J. E. Stackpole and M. U. M. Mitchell are candidates for delegates to the state convention. There has been no end of notices in local papers recently of large peaches, but it is reserved for the Gazette to cap the climax by mentioning a basket full of this luscious fruit which was presented to the editor on Wednesday by Mr. Marshall Haight of Anaheim. One of the peaches weighed nine ounces, and twenty others appeared equally as large but actually weighted a trifle. So He Won a Prize Deserted Baby “Buddy” Farr, whose father gave him to a bus passenger between St. Louis and Chicago, stepped right into a baby show at a Chicago orphanage—and won first prize. Here he is. KEEP HIM ON THE JOB Senator Shortridge has done more for California agriculture, for its fruits, vegetables, eggs and other products than has any man who has ever represented us at the national capital. A member of the important senate finance committee, which takes an active part in preparing tariff bills, he is in position to protect our interests far better than a new man, who would have very little to say about the tariff or anything else. He informed the senate during discussion of the present tariff bill that it costs the California orange grower as much for freight to put his crop in the eastern markets as it does the foreign grower for his entire year’s expenses, plus freight across Planters hotel, J. P. Zeyn, judge. At Westminster the polls will be at the school house, Joseph Guiberson, judge. The polling place at Fountain Valley has not yet been decided upon. Mr. J. E. Stackpole and M. U. M.

One of the peaches weighed nine ounces, and twenty others appeared equally as large but actually weighted a trifle less. They are (or were, for they have gone where all good peaches go) of the Early Crawford variety, and we are free to say that there are few places where such a collection of mammoth fruit could be gathered from one orchard. Reports from Anaheim Landing are that the campers at that delightful resort are enjoying every minute of the time. One of the young men from Anaheim has his violin with him and there is no lack of dancing. Then there are candy pullings and other amusements to while away the time. Among those at present camping there are: Mrs. J. W. Landell and family, Mrs. Josephine Butler, Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. C. Mosseman, Miss Clara Mosseman, Miss Marie Horttsman, Mrs. Richard Melrose and family, Mrs. R. W. Scott and family, Mrs. Arthur Heiman and family, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Heiman and family, Miss Bertha Boldt, Mrs. F. W. Koll, Miss Della Rust, Misses Lacey, Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Emery and family, Mrs. R. J. Northam and family, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Smith and family, Mr. and Mrs. A. Meade and family, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. White, Mr. Ward, Mr. Fred Langenberger, Mr. Ernest Browning, Mr. Victor Browning, Mr. and Mrs. Newhan, Mrs. W. H. Harper. When Philip Reich, an old citizen of Frederick, Md., entered the Senate chamber after an absence from Washington of seventy years, the business before the senate was a bill for the relief of the heirs of R. K. Meade. Mr. Reich at once exclaimed: "Why that's the bill they were considering when I was here in 1812!" Examination of the record proved that the old gentleman was correct. Mr. Meade sustained some losses while Minister to Spain, and the bill provides for their payment. The increased demand for fencing for vineyards, orchards and pastures has induced A. Guv Smith & Co. to put in a stock suitable for that purpose—a little smaller than the regular post and at lower price, yet fully answering all the requirements for wire fences. These facilitate fencing with a good deal of economy and leave little excuse for allowing stock whether horses or hares to run over one's property. Mr. Charles Lorenz is building a fine residence on his vineyard. Mr. R. J. Northam is about to add several rooms to his residence Work on Mr. Hippolyte Cahen's new dwelling will soon commence. Barns, fences, etc., are going up on all sides and every available carpenter has work contracted for months ahead. Mr. C. E. Leonard has returned from Forster city, nine miles south of San Juan Capistrano. He thinks that for a summer retreat that point is the finest in this part of the state. Excellent bathing ground, spreading Sycamore trees and good accommodations among some of the advantages of the embryo city... Mr. Charles Lorenz is building a fine residence on his vineyard. Mr. R.

The warm weather under which perspiring humanity wilteth, is life and vigor to the grapes, which are rapidly ripening under influence of the sun's warm rays. The approaching vintage is being prepared for by the winegrowers and it will take all the available cooperage to hold the product of the immense crop of grapes. The Board of Supervisors will not levy the yearly tax until the October session. We learn that the rate will probably be a trifle lower than last year if the railroad company pay part of their last year's taxes, which they have intimated a willingness to do. If they do not so pay, the tax will probably exceed $1.70 on the $100 valuation. At a meeting held by the Anaheim Cornet Band Monday evening, August 7th, the following officers were elected: Chas. Wesley Alms, president; H. Cowan, vice-president; Wm. Kroeger secretary; Jos Helmsen, treasurer; N. A. Bittner, leader; J. C. Jacque, sergeant-at-arms. At the meeting last Saturday, the Board of Town Trustees, in view of the fact that property had been assessed at about one-fifth of its value, fixed the tax rate for the fiscal year 1882-83 at $1.00 on the $100 valuation. The tax roll amounts to $316,375. A change has been made on the mail route between Santa Ana and San Luis Rey as follows: Leave Santa Ana daily at 1 p.m., arrive at San Luis Rey at 12 noon the following day. Leave San Luis Rey daily at 1 p.m. and arrive at Santa Ana at 11 a.m. the following day. We are indebted to Mr. A. L. Pillegrin, the photographer, for views of the streets of Anaheim as they appeared with the Fourth of July decorations. The views are finely taken and should be purchased as souvenirs of the noted celebration. Club Work For Older Youth Club leaders are giving a good deal of thought these days to interest the older rural boys and girls in farm or home projects. These range in age from 16 up to as high as 25 and 30 years. Minnesota club leaders are doing a fine piece of work in this line. They have what is called a partnership between the child and the parent. It may be either parent. This project has been carried on for several years. Over 500 boys and girls are in such partnerships this season. The projects are much the same as for the regular club members, but in some instances they take on rather large proportions. For instance, a dairyman in Brown county this spring effected a partnership with his four sons. In this deal the profits will be divided according to contract. In Georgia a special effort is being made by Miss Lugline Collier, state girls club agent, to enroll girls of 16 to 25 years who may have had some primary club work, but who do not expect to go away to school. She is also working to enroll young married women on farms in projects which can be fitted into the home program to improve the life of the family. The Utopia clubs of Kentucky have come through the first year of their program in fine shape. About 350 young men and women in a dozen counties were enrolled, and all are enthusiastically carrying on this year. Dr. B. F. Badgley announces new location at 1100 W.
