IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 31, 1907 The library board this week received a fourth set of specifications for the Carnagie library from a Los Angeles architect. The board expects one or two more plans, and will make a selection probably next week. One or more plans will probably be selected and passed up to the city trustees, who will hold a special meeting to determine upon a final selection. Of the plans submitted two are known to be favorably considered by the library board. While all are regarded as being handsome drawings, two apparently have an edge on the others. B. C. Baxter sold 1600 sacks of sweet potatoes this season from fifteen acres and received an average of $1.65 a sack for the entire output. Mr. Baxter has purchased another twenty-acre place, and will plant fifty acres next year to sweets. He will also set five or ten acres to cabbages. He says there will be a light crop of chili peppers this season and does not believe the growers will make much clear money. James Baxter also sold his 15-acre sweet potato crop for about $1.65 per sack, moving out at least 100 sacks to the acre. He will also plant fifty acres to sweets next season. Growers in the East Whittier district are complaining of the tomato blight, but it is hardly noticeable in La Habra valley. They are now setting out cabbage plants in La Habra valley in large quantities and it is said the acreage next season will be as large if not larger than it was this year. Walter Johnson pitched for Santa Ana against the Hoegee Flago of Los Angeles at the Santa Ana grounds on Sunday, the score being a tie, 1 to 1. Clare Head, who recently returned from Butte, where he played the past season, also played with Santa Ana. Johnson played in a second game in the same grounds, covering center. Johnson made a home run winning $5 which is offered any player making a homer on the grounds. His team won the game 9 to 2. Quite a larking to listen to offices. The mute speakers widely, Mr. Del Vale school superintendent. Mr. Lyon were in the maze. On Monday attended meet assembly; J. W. John Dolland, P. Zeyn was central, startling productions, and Baker spoke bely proved himself pression on his points. The u was a brick. Mr. M.

Mrs. Mary Kellogg of West Anaheim has presented the high school with an 88 foot flag pole cut from a gum tree on her farm. The school board has had it barked and is now seasoning and painting it. It will be surmounted with a golden ball and will be placed on the grounds in front of the school at an early date. A silk flag will ornament the pole. Articles of incorporation of the Anaheim Columbus association have been filed for record in this county. This association is for the purpose of building a Knights of Columbus hall in this city. The incorporators are Adolph Rimpau, Charles F. Grim, Stephen Kistler, Frank Walter, Peter Dausen, J. M. Backs, Joseph Stroka. The capitalization is $50,000. A lot has been purchased at the corner of Los Angeles and Chartres and building operations will begin in the near future. George Ross states the local gas company is outputting 25,000 to 30,000 feet of gas daily, including Sunday. Less than three years ago when the works started up, the output was not to exceed 30,000 per week. Now the weekly output is 200,000 feet. Then the works were operated one day per week, now the force is engaged seven days per week and Mr. Ross is frequently late for Sunday school. Saturday was another record breaker for business merchants and trades people reporting a brisk trade during the entire day and evening. The day was showery and not so many people were in town as on the preceding Saturday. During the afternoon and evening crowds were large and business in the stores and shops was good. John Luedke, formerly a well known resident of this city, but now of Nevada, was in town this week after an absence of five years. Mr. Luedke came to be in attendance at a family re-union at the home of T. J. F. Boege, the occasion being the 90th anniversary of his mother's birthday. Mrs. Luedke despite her advanced age is in the enjoyment of the best of health. Francis Holcomb will celebrate his seventh birthday this afternoon with a Hallowe'en party, to which all the neighboring kids have been invited. There will be games appropriate to the occasion, ice-cream and cake and a round of enjoyable festivities. Miss Ella Stroka celebrated her birthday Wednesday evening last by giving a party at her home on Lemon street. Games, music and social conversation were features of the evening. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Konig, Mrs. Wm. Weinberger, Miss Eva Hessel, Joe Hessel, Leo Hessel, Misses Lillian Bennerscheidt, Pauline Weinberger, Emma Rooge, Olga Rooge.

Curtis has sold fifteen acres of improved land east of town on Olive road to William Mayhew for a consideration of $7,000. Mr. Mayhew has sold to Curtis a house and lot in Los Angeles for $3,500. C. A. Evans negotiated both deals. Mr. Melrose and family move this week into the cottage on Lemon street adjoining Mr. Dickel. Mr. Horwitz of Orange who Mr. Melrose seivzthe$N...GDvecmfwypshrdluetaoinxzfififffffi purchased the Melrose property takes possession this week. Mr. Melrose is having specifications drawn for a handsome bungalow on Hedwig street. W. F. Botsford is installing a new pumping plant at his Katella orchard. D. A. Cole is also installing a pumping plant on his ranch at West Anaheim. Mr. and Mrs. Spake were members of a party attending the lecture delivered by Elbert Hubbard in Los Angeles on Monday evening. Henry Oelkers and Charles Dussourt were visitors in Los Angeles on Monday and Tuesday. Eddie Marion is having the large gum trees on his West End ranch cut into stove wood. Rev. A. B. Markel, Capt. Williams, Capt Barr, F. A. Gates, and S. O. Llewellyn attended the annual meeting of G. A. R. veterans at Santa Ana on Thursday. Theo. Ford was a visitor in town this week from his farm near the river, south of town. A. D. Porter went to Los Angeles on Friday on a brief business mission. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 28, 1882 Quite a large number of people gathered on last Saturday evening to listen to speeches by the Democratic nominees for county offices. The meeting was presided over by Mr. W. M. Bailey and the speakers were Messrs. Moffitt and Head, nominees for assembly, Mr. Del Valle, nominee for senator, Mr. Moores, nominee for school superintendent and Mr. White, nominee for district attorney. Mr. Lynill also delivered a short address. The speeches were in the main well received. On Monday evening the Republicans had an exceedingly well attended meeting at which J. L. York, N. Baker, candidates for assembly; J. W. Hinton, candidate for school superintendent and John Dolland, candidate for assessor, were the speakers. Mr. J. P. Zeyn was chairman. Mr. York's speech was quaint and original, startling propositions being followed by no less startling deductions, and the manner of delivery being peculiarly his own. Baker spoke but briefly and was followed by Hinton. Mr. Dolland proved himself quite a humorous speaker and made a good impression on his audience, who loudly applauded his most telling points. The unanimous conclusion they came to was that John was a brick. Mr. M. L. Goodman returned from San Francisco on Wednesday, and now all the members of the firm of Goodman and Rimpau are busy unpacking the eighty cases of new goods which he purchased in the city. Such a costly and varied assortment of goods was never before received by them and it fittingly signalizes their entrance into their fine new store. A visit to their establishment will afford great pleasure to the ladies especially. From Mr. W. E. Sibley of Santiago we learn there is an unprecedented demand for apricot and Bartlett pear trees for planting the coming season, and that in the neighborhood of Anaheim there will be a large acreage planted to these trees.

Sibley of Santiago we learn there is an unprecedented demand for apricot and Bartlett pear trees for planting the coming season, and that in the neighborhood of Anaheim there will be a large acreage planted to these trees. Mr. Sibley is importing them from the east, and at the proper time he will be prepared to fill orders. It would be well for those who desire these trees in any quantity to lose no time in contracting with Mr. Sibley to supply them. Mr. Wm. Meek, who has lately opened a bakery here, has found that in order to produce good bread, the flour in this state requires different manipulation and treatment from what he has been accustomed to give it in Colorado. He has been using various brands, and has at last convinced himself that the Los Angeles flour is the best in the markets. Some weeks ago nine horses were stolen from Mr. Frothingham of Ventura county, who offered a reward of $500 for the arrest of the thieves. Ever since the theft a vigorous search has been kept up by officers, Mr. Frothingham and members of the anti-horse thief society which resulted in the arrest of two of the thieves on Tuesday. About 11 oclock on Tuesday night just as the circus performance was about to close, Deputy Sheriff Celis and Mr. Frothingham drove into Anaheim. Proceeding to the tent they arrested Augustin Payanes, who with his sweetheart was gazing upon the wonders of the arena. Payanes was armed, and as he saw his pursuers his hand went towards his pistol. But three revolvers which were instantly in close proximity to his head persuaded him to submit quietly to arrest. He was to have been married on Wednesday to the girl who was with him, but he spent his prospective wedding day in jail in Los Angeles. His partner Gonzales was arrested previously at Rincon, San Bernardino county. Of the nine horses stolen, eight have been recovered—two of them by the assistance of Constable Barham and Marshal Tyler. The election proclamation issued by the Board of Supervisors designates the polling places and officers of election as follows—(We quote only the precincts nearby): Anaheim—at Anaheim hotel, Theodore Rimpau, inspector; Richard Melrose and Wm. Bailey, judges. Garden Grove—At school house; J. D. Price, inspector; Dr. Horace Head and Con Howe, judges. Sahta Ana—at Sycamore hall; Henry Mall, inspector, H. J. Dull and M. A. Cobler, judges. Silverado—at Carbondale P. O.; Thos. J. Oliver, inspector, Cash Harvey and Samuel Shewsbury, judges. Westminster—at school house: Robt. Strong, inspector; J. Y. Anderson and Jos McCoy, judges. Yorba—at school house; L. W. Kirby, inspector; Felipe Yorba and F. W. Hazen, judges. Mr. B. Dreyfus, the senior member of the firm of B. Dreyfus & Co. has received a letter from Francis M. Weld, M. D., of New York City in which he says: "I have enjoyed very much the wines sent me from your house at the request of Dr. James Ellis. I have tried them with my friends, with whom they met appreciation of the queen. I think I prefer a system under which individuals are free to "get things done," to any system which puts human beings on the same plane as ants. AUTOMOBILES OF THE FUTURE William B. Stout, eminent aeronautical engineer, has turned to the study of automobiles and predicts that the car of the future will be as different from the cars of today as those of today are from those of twenty years ago. The ideal motor car, Mr. Stout says, will have more and more comfortable interior space for the same wheelbase than the present cars. It will weigh less and have more power in the motor. It will have ten-inch tires which will wrap themselves around bumps and absorb all road shocks, but which will steer without effort. The wheels will be enclosed and the windows will be fixed in place, but it will have a ventilation system providing cool air for summer touring. It will travel thirty miles on a gallon of gasoline and cost less than $2,000. AGE AND NATIONALITY The world is getting older. There are fewer children and more elderly people living today than there were proportionately ten years ago; an immensely greater proportion of older people than there was fifty years ago. Between the ages of twenty and forty-five are found 38 per cent of all the inhabitants of the United States, and that percentage is just about the same as it was a dozen years ago. But where the census of 1920 showed a little over 40 per cent of the population under twenty, that of 1930 shows a little over 38 percent are under twenty years old. This is compensated for by an increase of 2 percent in the number of people over forty-five. If, with an increasing proportion of the elderly, we develop a national tendency toward conservatism, it is easy to predict that our ultimate social and economic organization will more closely resemble that of France, the perfect example of an extremely conservative, tightly knit nation in which everything is completely under the control of the elders. PSITTACOSIS "parrott fever" The serious illness of Senator Borah's wife from psittacosis, or "parrot fever," has focused attention again upon this disease which was epidemic three years ago. Now the medical authorities who have studied it say that it comes not only from parrots, but from canaries and other kinds of climbing birds. The symptoms are chills, fever and headache, sometimes accompanied by nose bleeding and chest pains, and it is frequently mistaken for influenza or a severe cold. I have never been quite able to understand the desire of so many people to keep animals and birds in cages, but if one must keep caged birds, it seems to me highly important to maintain them in their perfect habitat... at Sycamore hall; Henry Mell, inspector, H.

Dreyfus & Co. has received a letter from Francis M. Weld, M. D., of New York City in which he says: "I have enjoyed very much the wines sent me from your house at the request of Dr. James Ellis. I have tried them with my friends, with whom they met appreciation. In my humble opinion the Port is the best. It comes nearer to what I have had at clubs and private tables in London than any other American port I have ever tasted. I hope you meet the success you deserve with it." Among the awards made at the county fair in Los Angeles were the following: G. R. Hinde, Anaheim—Best display of pears, apples, peaches and figs, best fruits, best lot of raisins. R. H. Gilman, Anaheim—Best general display of tropical fruits. Mrs. H. A. Stough, Anaheim—Best worked quilt. Mr. Mauerhan has bought 18 acres in lot 29, Anaheim Extension and will at once begin improving the tract. Mr. Mauerhan came here but a short time ago, and we are pleased to learn that he has located here permanently. Messrs. A. E. and E. A. White have imported from St. Louis, Mo., patent hub boring machine which is a very perfect piece of mechanism. By its use the hub can be bored with an exactness immpossible by the old method and in much less time. President Arthur has issued a proclamation setting apart Thursday, November 30th as a day for special prayer and Thanksgiving. The music furnished by the Anaheim Cornet band at the political meetings serves to awaken an enthusiasm which we greatly fear would be lacking were the inspiring strains withheld. The band is now the most proficient one in the county. M. G. Cuddeback of Orange informs us that the raisin crop of that vicinity will be large and fine this year, notwithstanding the rains. Mr. J. B. Pierce has purchased the old school house and lot for $500. He intends to fit up the house for a place of residence. Now the medical authorities who have studied it say that it comes not only from parrots, but from canaries and other kinds of climbing birds. The symptoms are chills, fever and headache, sometimes accompanied by nose bleeding and chest pain, and it is frequently mistaken for influenza or a severe cold. I have never been quite able to understand the desire of so many people to keep animals and birds in cages, but if one must keep caged birds, it seems to me highly important to maintain their cages in perfect hygienic condition. MOHICANS . . . the very last The last of the Mohicans has just been awarded an old age pension by a county judge in Wisconsin. His name is Maq-wau-pey, in the Indian tongue, but he is known as William Dick, and he claims to be the only person now living who can speak the ancient language of the Mohican Indians. This particular tribe was made famous by J. Fenimore Cooper whose novel "The Last of the Mohicans," is still widely read. The Mohicans when the white mon came to America occupied the country lying between the Hudson and the Connecticut Rivers. They moved northward and westward as the white settlements advanced, and gradually merged with the other Indian races of the East, of whom only a few still survive on reservations in New York State and Canada. One little group of them, known as the Stockbridge Indians, remained a unit at Stockbridge, Massachusetts where the deed to my farm traces back to one of the Indian land owners. They moved to a reservation in New York and, about a hundred years ago, were transferred to a reservation in central Wisconsin, where a few survivors still linger. Directors of the same society once proposed that the New York State Assembly pass a law prohibiting the use of sticky flypaper. A wise hombre when testifying before the committee about the stock game admitted that when a guy is "caught short" he doesn't sleep so doggone well. Sunday School Lesson by Rev. Charles E. Dunn. The Home and the Coming Generation Mark 10:13-16 Golden Text: Proverbs 22:6 At the height of His reputation people came to Jesus in large numbers for help, comfort and inspiration. Some brought their sick to be healed. Others, as our lesson tells us, presented children for his gracious touch. The short sighted disciples objected, glaringly failing to appreciate their Master's mind. They felt He must not be bothered by the noisy attention of small tots. How stupid! The Master was angered over this lack of insight. He felt Rev. Chas. E. Dunn perfectly at home with children. Who understood them better? And who understood Him better. How receptive are children! Simple and confiding, they possess to the full God's Kingdom in their hearts. They are the meek who inherit the earth. They live in the great realities. No wonder Jesus blessed them, announcing that only those may enter the Realm of the Eternal who cultivate the Metropolitan Board Silences Fletcher. San Diego's Ed Fletcher's plans to have the proposed Colorado river aqueduct constructed along an extremely southern route involve "to at least a considerable degree the element of a speculative land promotion and development scheme" the metropolitan water district directors reported last week, silencing efforts to have the route switched from the Parker plan.

The board tersely pointed out that the Fletcher routes had been considered, that they would cost many millions of dollars more than the Parker route, that some of them were impossible of satisfactory construction, and that a 10-year engineering survey had showed the cheapest and most feasible route to be the one adopted.
