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 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK September 19, 1907 Walnuts will probably bring 15 cents per pound this season. This is a top-notch figure, being the highest price ever received by local growers. The associations have not yet determined what the price shall be, but it is said in authoritative circles that 15 cents will be about the figure. A large orchardist at Katella this week refused 13½ cents for his crop, taking the run of the orchard. This is equivalent to 15 cents for first choice. The season's crop is shorter than last but the quality is fine. The French crops are short and local growers are standing for the high price which at present rules. Independent buyers are offering 13 cents. Eight years ago prices ranged no higher than 6 cents and many nuts were disposed at 4 to 5 cents per pound. At the opera house tomorrow night theatre-goers will have present for their delectation a program of unalloyed amusement by local talent. The Anaheim band take their lives in hand to announce their ragtime minstrels—Twenty armored and asbestos comedians—you can not harm them—they have their fingers crossed—especially selected vocalists with hand cultivated voices—They have been told they could act, but have been greatly deceived?

The indications now are that the formation of Scully's Point on the Santa Ana river above Bedrock canyon is such that an excellent submerged dam may be built to raise water for the Santa Ana Irrigation company and the Anaheim Union Water company. Engineer H. Clay Kellogg has just completed a test with an O'Kell drill, and says that the bedrock is of a sandstone particularly good for holding water. The drill went down 48 feet the last sixteen feet being in bedrock. Another hole will be drilled on the southside of the river close to the foothills to determine the formation there. At this point the river is 500 feet wide. The cannery on Saturday put up 17,000 cans of tomatoes, the output of nearly 17 tons of the product of the fields. The day's run was the largest of the season, and filled a carload. Eighty hands are employed at the cannery and the day's run continued until midnight. The weekly payroll amounts to $600. Several cars of canned peaches and pears are sent out weekly. Fred Bixby, the Long Beach capitalist was in town on Monday in conference with the directors of the two water companies relative to disposing of his ranch up the river to them. With the ranch goes a stream of 100 inches of water. A formal offer of purchase was made for the property which Mr. Bixby has taken under consideration. The thirteen-acre orange and walnut orchard at the corner of Palm and North streets owned by I. A. Lothian was this week exchanged for Pasadena property on a valuation of $10,000. The new owner is D. Keller who takes possession this week. John Eymann, who has been in charge of the property will shortly begin the erection of a residence on his property at the corner of North and Citron. Tim Carroll was a business visitor in Los Angeles the first of the week. Tim claims the credit of being the oldest nurseman in the state, as well as the largest dealer in trees, shrubs and plants. He has been forty years in the business, and a recent trip through the central and northern counties showed there was nothing in the state so extensive as Tim's evergreen nurseries.

This county will have a rockpile this winter for the amusement of the hobo tourists. It is said that there is nothing so much dreaded by tramps as a rockpile and the institution has, in the past, proven a protection to the community. John Rimpau returned to his home in Yuma one day last week. He was accompanied as far as Los Angeles by his father and his sister, Miss Sophia. His wife remains for a longer visit and is a guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Everhardy. Ferdinand Heying has purchased of Frank Baum a lot at the corner of Cypress and Olive streets paying $700 therefor. Mr. Heying will shortly begin erection of a residence upon his newly acquired property. Another county division movement is on the tapis. There is a movement for setting off the northern part of San Luis Obispo county and making a new county with Paso Robles as county seat. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Rorden, who have been visiting Mr. Rorden's old home on the island of Foehr, Germany for the past five months, returned to Fullerton last Sunday. They had a pleasant visit with old friends and enjoyed the trip across the water. Peter Nicolas and Miss Claire Nicolas of Fullerton and Capt. and Mrs. Stern of this city left yesterday on a week's camping trip to the mountains. Peter Syre, Joe Baum, Otto Baum and Mr. Davis are on a two weeks hunting and fishing trip to Saddleback. J. Peacock, Joe Hessel and Lennie Hessel departed Monday for the mountains back of Elsinore on a hunting trip. They are looking for big game. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK September 16, 1882 The bell donated to St. Michael's Episcopal church gave forth its sound for the first time last Sunday morning, the delay in getting it into position being caused by the absence and illness of Rev. Mr. Emery, who could not give the matter his attention until last week. The bell is sweet toned and comes up to the expectations formed of it. It will be rung every Sunday morning at 9:30 and 10 o'clock for Sunday school, when there is morning service it will ring at 10:30 and 10:55, and when there is evening service it will ring at 7:15 and 7:40. The bell was presented to the church by Mr. Balch of Boston, father of Charles B. Balch, the young man whose tragic death during the holidays cast a feeling of gloom over the entire community. He came here with a party of friends from Orange where he was visiting and was assisting in decorating the church and the Christmas tree. While cutting an evergreen branch his knife slipped severing an artery in the wrist. Medical aid was called and he was removed to the home of Rev. Emery close by where everything possible was done for him, but the loss of blood so weakened him that he died about a week after the accident. The bell weighs 1320 pounds and is made of pure bell metal. The inscription on the bell reads: Ad Laudem Gloriamque Dei Omnipotentis Et in Memoriam Charles Buckminster Balch Obit Ante Dien v Kalendas Januarias, A.: D., 1881 At a meeting of grape buyers held in Los Angeles last Saturday, it was agreed that the following scale of prices would be adhered to: For Mission grapes $20 per ton of 2000 pounds, for muscats $18, other foreign varieties such as Black Hamburg, Malvoise and Zinfandel, $22.50 per ton. The standard percent adopted for sugar of all grapes is 23 percent, Ballings sacrometer, and for each percent under the standard a discount on the At a meeting of grape buyers held in Los Angeles last Saturday, it was agreed that the following scale of prices would be adhered to: For Mission grapes $20 per ton of 2000 pounds, for muscats $18, other foreign varieties such as Black Hamburg, Malvoise and Zinfandel, $22.50 per ton. The standard percent adopted for sugar of all grapes is 23 percent, Ballings sacrometer, and for each percent under the standard a discount on the above prices will be made of one dollar per ton. It is understood that these prices mean for grapes delivered at the manufacturers. The adoption of the rule relating to the standard of sugar is understood to have been made necessary by the practice of many grape growers of Los Angeles of irrigating their vineyards just as the grapes were ripening. In this way the grapes were made watery and heavy, and the amount of saccharine matter in the juice was proportionately lessened. It should be stated in explanation of the price offered for muscats that this grape makes a variety of wine for which there is only a limited demand. The flavor is so pronounced that muscatel, as the wine is called has few admirers. We have to acknowledge the receipt from our friend E. S. Saxton of some remarkably fine pears, grown on his beautiful and prolific place in North Anaheim. There are three varieties—Flemish beauty, Bartlett and Dutchess d’Angouleme. The first named are well named, being shapely, smooth-skinned and rosy—a description which would apply aptly to Flemish women. The well known Bartletts are knobbly and are presumably better than they look. Two of the pears with the royal name weigh two pounds and 14 ounces—one weighing 21½ ounces and the other 24½ ounces, one measures 14 inches in circumference and the other 13½. In order to verify the statement heretofore made, that the Southern California Packing company intended to establish a branch cannery in Anaheim, we wrote to Mr. M. Walsh, the superintendent asking if such were the intentions of the company. In reply he writes that the company will build a branch cannery and that as soon as the rush of work is over in the Los Angeles establishment a committee of the company will visit Anaheim and decide upon the location. He adds: "The only serious drawback we see now is want of good women and girl help." At the annual meeting of the Presbyterian church held Thursday evening, the treasurer's report showed most subscriptions be paid up, with a fair balance in hand. In the election of trustees, Mr. J. B. Pierce was elected for a three-year term, and Mr. G. B. Shaffer for one year, the unexpired term of A. T. Ferdon, who has gone East. The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a large basket of fruit from Mr. Joseph Jordan, the most prominent being grapes of the Black Hamburg, Chasselas, Muscat and Flame Tokay varieties. The bunches were all large, weighing nearly five pounds each, and the grapes were full and plump. Mr. Jordan’s vineyards are full of such grapes this year. By a letter from Dr. R. A. Fergusson we learn that he has developed of Campagnus. Reports received in Washington from all parts of the country continue to indicate that the wet and dry issue is not likely to affect very many Presidential votes one way or the other, but that in many of the states which were dry before national prohibition there will be some pretty bitter fights over the Congressional elections, in which party lines will be largely obliterated. Whether Mr. Hoover comes back or Mr. Roosevelt takes his place in the White House, the next President will be committed to a radical change in the prohibition laws. It would be a curious state of things if the next President should find a dry majority in Congress. This is not likely to be the case, however. The dry movement has lost much of its organized strength with the defection of the Rev. Dr. Daniel A. Poling, who was one of the most important religious leaders of the prohibition movement. Dr. Poling has expressed himself as willing to accept the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, provided the old-fashioned saloon is eliminated. Mrs. Ella Boole, just re-elected president of the W. C. T. U., and Bishop Cannon of Virginia, are almost the only remaining dry leaders of national fame who have not changed their views. On the other side, Jouett Shouse, formerly executive chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has succeeded Major Henry H. Curran as the head of the national association for repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. All of that means that the best political strategists are no longer on the dry side; as they were a few years ago. Campaign funds are scarce this year in both camps. More reliance than ever before will be placed upon local committees raising funds locally in the interest of local candidates and, incidentally, for the national tickets. Conditions may change later, when the campaign gets under full swing. The real intensive work of trying to convert voters will not begin much before the first of October. In the meantime candidates are laying the groundwork by speech-making. On Cutting Expenses A lot of attention is being given to the problem of how to reduce government expenses, and when the next Congress meets it is certain that some drastic recommendations will be made. Whether Congress will accept them or not is another question. A great many people outside of Washington do not realize that not a penny of money can be saved or spent without distinct and definite authority by Congress. When Congress says a certain amount must be spent for a given purpose, that amount must be spent. One point on which a very strong Mr. J. B. Pierce was elected for a three-year term, and Mr. G. B. Shaffer for one year, the unexpired term of A. T. Ferdon, who has gone East. The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a large basket of fruit from Mr. Joseph Jordan, the most prominent being grapes of the Black Hamburg, Chasselas, Muscat and Flame Tokay varieties. The bunches were all large, weighing nearly five pounds each, and the grapes were full and plump. Mr. Jordan’s vineyards are full of such grapes this year. By a letter from Dr. R. A. Fergusson we learn that he has located at Bakersfield, Kern county and has already secured a very large practice. Among other things he says: “A great many people leave here during the summer for their health, and as I do not think there is a healthier place than Anaheim I hope next summer to turn a considerable number of them in that direction.” Dr. E. L. Cowan has gone on a trip to Philadelphia accompanied by his wife. He will return in about six weeks and resume practice with renewed energy and a large stock of dental goods which he will make up at much reduced prices. About six miles in a northerly direction from Anaheim is a small orchard of various kinds of trees which was abandoned by its owner six or seven years ago. Since that time the trees have received no care or cultivation, and yet the peach trees bore a good crop of fruit this year. While playing near the open cellar, near Mr. Dobner’s store on Thursday, one of his children fell into the cellar and received a severe bruise on the eye. It was at first thought that the injury would destroy the sight, but it proves to be not so serious. The Fourth of July committee ‘cleaned up’ yesterday and found that they had a balance of $6.45 on hand. This sum they returned to the town treasury, in consideration of the liberal donation made by the trustees. Gov. Woods, republican nominee for congress, and Col. Gibson republican nominee for railroad commissioner, will speak in Anaheim on October 6th and in Santa Ana on Sept. 29th. The Bank of Anaheim Building is nearly completed. The elaborate front promises to be a thing of beauty. Justice Gannon has been given the accounts of Sidwell and Stough for collection. "Tonneau Trial" Looms As Rival of Famous "Shirtsleeve Court" of West The "tonneau trial" may yet make a bid for a place in history alongside the "shirtsleeve court" of the old West. It was tried out with good effect down the Turlock way by the enforcement bureau of the state department of agriculture, and as a result P. L. Alexander, producer grower of Denair, Stanislaus county, is just $136.90 richer today. The "tonneau trial" is every bit as picturesque as its name implies. Briefly it calls for the judge to hop in his car, round up both plaintiff and defendant, then pull over on the side of the road, or into the tall grass, as the case may be, and let the boys have it out. The first recorded "tonneau trial" was made necessary through the filing of a claim by Alexander against Frank C. Belier and company of Turlock, covering a produce shipment. Attempts to get all parties on hand for an informal hearing were unsuccessful. An examiner for the enforcement division then proceeded to round them up in his car. He first picked up a member of the Beller firm and then went in search of Alexander, who was touring some of the ranches in his district in another machine. The two cars finally made contact, and pulled up alongside the road. After a few preliminaries the hearing got under way. In an hour all points at issue had been ironed out, the necessary dotted lines had been decorated and the first "tonneau trial" had been adjourned. Eusebia—Let us sit nearer the music. Custis—But then you can't hear what I'm saying to you. Eusebia—Yes, I know. Come along. Nitt—In Europe, they are now sending milk by airplane. Witt—Yes, they say you can get it from either Cannes or Cowes. DOLLAR CLINIC Specializing in STOMACH AND INTESTINES All Treatments One Dollar 124 S.

Their influence on public opinion exceeds that of all other publications in the country. Remember that a newspaper's influence doesn’t stop with the editorial columns — it carries into the advertising columns as well.
