IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Cent Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Or 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 5, 1907 The city council met on Friday evening: Present, Stock, Kroeger, Fiscus; absent, Rust and Darling. Councilman Stock presided. A report by commissioners for opening an alley north on Center between Los Angeles and Lemon streets submitted and Clerk Merritt instructed to publish notice of filing same. Two bids were opened for furnishing the city with 5000 barrels of oil, one from Standard Oil bid $1.30 per barrel f. o. b. Anaheim. The second from Murphy Oil company, 90cents per barrel f. o. b. Los Nietos. The latter bid was accepted. Messrs. Hessel and Bauer of the Union Brewing company asked that Santa Ana street be continued west and Adams street south through grounds now occupied by the brewery. The object being to continue Adams street through ground separating the main brewery building and the bottling works, a federal statute requiring a public street to separate such structures. Attorney Melrose was instructed to begin condemnation proceedings against the Southern Pacific railway grounds at the company's West End depot for that purpose. Building permits were granted as follows: Sam Kraemer, $4500 brick building on Center street east of the Frist National Bank. Mrs. J. Nemetz, $1000 cottage on Chartres street. W. Kretschmer $200 barn on Olive street. Fred Pressel $400 alteration to residence on Santa Ana street. Ganahl Lumber company, $300 alteration to office building on East Center street. Total building permits for month $6900. The library board met on Monday evening, at Attorney Spencer's office. There were present Misses Kate and Ella Rea, F. C. Spencer, Dr. Johnston and Dr. Houck. Seven architects' plans were inspected. A final selection will probably be made on the 10th. A member of the board said on Tuesday it will be a difficult matter to decide. The board will pass the matter up to the city trustees immediately after arriving at a conclusion and the two boards will decide as to the final selection. Bids for erecting the library will then be advertised for and probably This is the time vineyards come in If there is anything varieties of grapes tings.

The board will pass the matter up to the city trustees immediately after arriving at a conclusion and the two boards will decide as to the final selection. Bids for erecting the library will then be advertised for and probably a beginning of work will be made within sixty days. Six months will be required to complete the building. Ladies of the Eastern Star have invitations out for a public installation of newly elected officers on Thursday evening next, December 12th. Officers to be installed are as follows: Mrs. M. L. Stough, Worthy Matron; W. H. Spake, Worthy Patron; Mrs. Matilda Chambers, Associate Matron; Miss Ella Rea, Conductress; Miss Kate Rea, Associate Conductress; Mrs. Quarton, Secretary; Mrs. Rea, Treasurer. John F. Hughes, president of the Masonic Home association will be present and speak. A banquet will follow the exercises. Anaheim Aerie, No. 947, F. O. E. on Monday evening elected the following officers to serve for the ensuing year: N. B. Tedford, president; Louis Z. Kroeger, vice-president; Charles Kuchel, secretary; C. G. Billings, treasurer; Joseph Hessel, chaplain; F. Dyckman, inside guard; George Carroll, outside guard; C. G. Mason, John Zeigler, and John Bauer, trustees. A bountiful spread was discussed at the conclusion of the election. Fred H. Miller, who 17 years ago conducted the Del Campo as a first class hotel was a visitor in town a few days ago. Mr. Miller is now in the hotel business in Oakland and is in Southern California for the benefit of his wife's health. He looked over the hotel situation while in town and inspected the Deutsch and McLaughlin tracts as a possible location for a two story brick. He may be persuaded to locate in Anaheim and open up a first class hotel, something the town is sadly in need of. Mr. Miller's manner of conducting the Hotel Del Campo met the approval of the traveling public, as well as local connoisseurs, and the old hotel will ever fill a green place in their memory. Col. S. H. Finley will retire from command of the Seventh regiment next month, and an election will be called to fill the vacancy. The aspirants to the office are Col. W. G. Schreiber of Los Angeles and Capt. Mitchell of Riverside. Local guardsmen are said to be supporters of the latter officer, who is said to be especially fitted to perform the duties of the office. Los Angeles guardsmen will probably support Schreiber, while the country boys will back Mitchell. Victor Schumacher has been requested by Mrs. Ketcham of New York, daughter of the late S. K. Holman, to appraise the value of the 45 acre Holman ranch near Brookhurst. The ranch is set to oranges and walnuts and is in a high state of cultivation. It will probably be placed upon the market.

The ranch is set to oranges and walnuts and is in a high state of cultivation. It will probably be placed upon the market. William Konig has sustained a partial paralysis of his upper limbs but is able to be about and attend to business. Mr. Konig is a pioneer of this city and has until recently enjoyed the best of health. He is advanced in years, thinks nothing of his ills and says he is quite as young as he used to be. J. E. Fischer has opened a lunch counter in the Warner building on Center street. He recently returned from a trip to Ohio, and tells us he saw nothing to compare with Southern California in all his travels. And Anaheim, he says, is the best town of its size in Southern California. At the residence of O. M. Skinner on Orangethorpe Avenue at 8 o'clock last evening, a double wedding occurred, the contracting parties being J. W. Dickenson and Miss Floy Fox and Horace Skinner and Miss Helda Fossek. Rev. Orlando Skinner performed the ceremony. Mr. Dickenson is the well-known automobile dealer of this city and with his newly wedded bride will reside here. Mr. Skinner will reside on the ranch at Orangethorpe. Henry Hetebrink was a business visitor in town on Saturday afternoon from Placentia. George Amerige came over from Fullerton on Monday to see what a real live town looks like. C. G. Billings, Joseph Fiscus, John Resh and Mr. Laird went to Los Angeles on Saturday to attend the initiatory work of the Shriners. Samuel Hill was a business visitor in town from the West Side on Saturday. Prof. and Mrs. Waldorf spent Thanksgiving with friends in Riverside. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 2, 1882 This is the time of the year when people who intend to plant vineyards the coming season arrange for the purchase of cuttings. If there is anything more important than the selection of proper varieties of grapes, it is the selection of properly prepared cuttings. It would be greater economy to pay $20 per thousand for cuttings which had received proper treatment than to pay $2 per thousand for cuttings which had been carelessly or ignorantly treated. In the one case, the probabilities are that ninety percent would grow and in the other case about ninety percent would probably die. The loss of labor required in planting cuttings is considerable but is insignificant when compared with the loss of one year's crop of grapes—and that is generally the result of buying cheap and poor cuttings. In this as in other things "the best is always the cheapest." Very much of the success of our neighboring town of Santa Ana is due to the push and enterprise of Mr. W. H. Spurgeon, its founder. He has ever been in the bar of progress, and his zeal on behalf of the town has never been halting or half-hearted. The two story brick building which he has just had built will be a monument to his enterprise. The lower story will be occupied by stores and the upper story is one vast hall. A stage and dressing rooms are being built and the contract for scenery and drop curtains was given to a San Francisco theatrical painter a few days ago. The hall is far beyond the requirements of the town at present but there is little doubt that Mr. Spurgeon's expectations of ultimate profit from his investment will soon be realized. The Thanksgiving ball was a very successful and enjoyable affair. Fully fifty couples participated and as it was 3 o'clock on Friday morning ere the last strains of music died away, it is evident that pleasure reigned supreme. The hall was effectively decorated with bunting and evergreens and with the emblem and mottoes of the order of Chosen Friends. Those in charge of the Troy Lays Plans To Play In Mud Fullback Berth May Go to Clark As Best Bet to Gain On Wet Field Although the quarterback is usually the key man in the Southern California offense, should the S. C. boys meet the University of Washington eleven on a wet field in Seattle on Thanksgiving Day the main cog in the Howard Jones running attack will probably be Gordon Clark, who plays everything but quarterback in the Trojan backfield. Clark, although not the heavy type of back, is built close to the ground with the stocky, powerful kind of legs that give him just as much drive in the mud as on a dry field. He is the regular Trojan left half and has also played right half, another blocking job, but his showing in the Oregon game last week when he got a crack at the fullback spot indicated that he was Southern California's best bet at this position which has caused "Head Man" Jones no end of worry since the graduation of Jim Musick and Gaius Shaver. Wet fields have always raised havoc with the Trojan running attack because the mass of interference that leads the ball carrier can never get proper timing and organization with slipping men in the parade. Plays with the fullback carrying the ball on straight drives are nearly always the only type that can be relied on for gains in the mud and if Southern California has to fall back on this brand of attack it will be Clark who will undoubtedly carry the load. Clark failed to make the freshman first string in 1930, but he showed steady improvement last season as understudy to Tom Mallory at left half. This year he has proved to be Southern California's most dependable back and even in the early games when S. C.'s backfield interference was not clicking he played an excellent brand of ball. He weighs 178 pounds, and although this is light for a fullback he has a track man's speed to put exceptional force in his line smacking. Coach Jones's present plans for the ing rooms are being built and the contract for scenery and drop curtains was given to a San Francisco theatrical painter a few days ago.

The Thanksgiving ball was a very successful and enjoyable affair. Fully fifty couples participated and as it was 3 o’clock on Friday morning ere the last strains of music died away, it is evident that pleasure reigned supreme. The hall was effectively decorated with bunting and evergreens and with the emblem and mottoes of the order of Chosen Friends. Those in charge of the affair have reason to be proud of their efforts. A very excellent collation was served at the Planters hotel and the tables were effectively and tastily decorated. An Orange correspondent of the Times says: “Master Dave Cuddleback suffered a very severe accident last Friday. He was carrying a gun on his shoulder and riding a spirited horse. When near Mr. N. D. Harwood’s place he changed the gun from one shoulder to the other and in doing so dropped the rope with which he was guiding the horse. The animal began running and literally ran from under the boy, who, in falling, broke his ankle. The poor fellow suffered such agony that chloroform was administered while the limb was being set. Mr. H. C. Gade, with characteristic enterprise, has added a cart to his trucking business and can now respond to every demand made upon him for work in his line. His business has steadily grown since he purchased it, and he proposes in the future as in the past, to keep abreast of the times. He solicits a continuation of the public patronage. Mr. John Hanna reports the sale of 60 acres of the Guinn tract for $85 per acre to Mr. A. McDermont. The latter gentleman intends to build a residence immediately, and until it is ready for occupancy he is domiciled at Mrs. Chase’s house on Sycamore street. Fort Point, hereafter will be known as “Fort Winfield Scott” in honor of the late General Scott and the military post of Black Point, San Francisco harbor, now known as “Fort San Jose” be known as “Fort Mason” in honor of the late General Mason, military governor of California. Attention is called to the advertisement of S. S. Federman who has fitted up the store in Kroeger’s building and will open it formally next Tuesday. He informs us that he intends to make every effort to build up a large trade in this section by keeping such goods as the people demand and selling cheap. He will carry a large stock of “Dry Goods, Boats and Shoes and all kinds of Ladies’ and Gents’ Furnishing Goods.” We had a pleasant call yesterday from Mr. Wm. Fesenfeld, who for a number of months past has been residing at Riverside. Mr. Fesenfeld will leave in a few days for Seattle, Washington Territory, where he intends to remain for a time if the slush and mud of that damp country does not overcome him. From our Santiago items we find that Silverado is not dead who will undoubtedly carry the load.

He weighs 178 pounds, and although this is light for a fullback he has a track man's speed to put exceptional force in his line smacking. Coach Jones’s present plans for the Washington game call for starting the same backfield that opened last Saturday against Oregon. This set of backs has Homer Griffith at quarter, Bob Getz at full, Bob Erskine at right half and Clark at left half. However, Clark is expected to be switched to fullback early in the game in place of Getz with Bob (Toosh) McNeish coming in at left half. With Ray Sparling back in the lineup, the Trojan first string line will consist of Sparling and Ford Palmer at end, Captain Tay Brown and Ernie (Snow-Shoe) Smith at tackle, John Dye and Rosy Rosenberg at guard and Curt Youel at center. Roaring Lions Tend To Their Business Lions club members who usually have a roaring good time once a week were denied the privilege of bringing guests last week and this week, since th purpose of the two meetings is purely club business, according to announcemente.

Mr. Fesenfeld will leave in a few days for Seattle, Washington Territory, where he intends to remain for a time if the slush and mud of that damp country does not overcome him. From our Santiago items we find that Silverado is not dead as reported, but sleeping. It now shows signs of awakening. Parties having claims there are complying with the law by doing the required amount of work on them. Silverado will not die as long as "Cash" Harvey is there.

Mr. R. J. Northam reports the sale of 80 acres of land in North Anaheim to Mr. W. G. Thompson for $50 per acre, and 8 acres near the railroad depot, owned by the Farmers and Merchants Bank, to Mr. H. L. Paty for $750. There will be the usual services at St. Michael's church tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. It being the first Sunday in Advent—the beginning of the Christian year—the first of a course of sermons will be preached on "The Christ of History." The game of baseball between the Riverside and Orange clubs played at Orange on Thursday afternoon, resulted in a victory for the Orange club by a score of 20 to 10. And was it for this that the Riverside boys went so far away from home? The Democrats have nominated C. E. Thom for mayor of Los Angeles and the Republicans have nominated Lieut.-Governor Hansfield. The board of town trustees will meet in regular session on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Geological Formations of Orange and Los Angeles Counties Stressed When Expert Addressed Local Engineers' Club Four Anaheim Men Attend Gathering Held at La Habra Last Friday Evening to Hear Geologist G. M. Edwards Tell of Formations from Which Largest Oil Fields Developed Geological formations of Orange and Los Angeles counties, with particular reference to oil basins, was the subject on which Chief Geologist G. M. Edwards of the Shell Oil company addressed the Orange County Engineers' club at its La Habra meeting Friday evening. City Engineer E. P. Hapgood, Water and Power Superintendent V. W. Hannum, Edward Lenike and Dr. D. D. Waynick attended the gathering, which 50 engineers attended. The Orange-Los Angeles county basin, Geologist Edwards said, lies between the Whittier-Puente and the Inglewood faults and forms one of the deepest basins in the southern part of the state. With granite of the San Gabriel and Santa Ana mountains near the surface it has not been discovered in the Orange county basin but is estimated as being approximately 14,000 feet under ground. This basin, he pointed out comprises deposits from the San Gabriel mountains which have worn off and drifted into the basin forming the Puente hills and marine deposits from the sea. The southern section of Orange county is termed the Miocene area carrying the oil bearing rocks. A similar formation is encountered at Venice. The difference between the two areas is that at Venice the oil bearing shale is encountered at a depth of 6000 ft, while in Orange county, particularly at Laguna Beach it is found at surface. Ralph J. Reed, vice-president of the state board of registration for civil engineers was one of the honor guests and spoke on the work of the bureau. He outlined what is being done about enforcement of regulations under the law and said that of the 5200 applications for civil engineering licenses the bureau has issued 4900 certificates. Four engineers, he said have been brought to trial before the bureau on Ralph J.

He outlined what is being done about enforcement of regulations under the law and said that of the 5200 applications for civil engineering licenses the bureau has issued 4900 certificates. Four engineers, he said have been brought to trial before the bureau on charges of unethical practice. Of this number one engineer was found guilty of misusing the term civil engineer. He said that the man had given expert testimony as a civil engineer without being qualified during the trial of a law suit. W. K. Hilyard of the county surveyors office told of the forming of the Engineers' club in 1827 and named the officers of the club up to the present president, N. M. Thompson, Thompson introduced J. B. Sanks, La Habra city engineer, as master of ceremonies, who in turn presented Mayor L. E. Proud, who gave an address of welcome. Judge A. C. Earley was also presented. Pecos H. Callahan, assistant secretary of the state board of registration of engineers was also a speaker. ATWATER KENT RADIO— $52.50 up FEARN RADIO ELECTRIC SHOP 273 E.
