IN THE DAYS OF 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER, 12, 1907 The chamber of commerce met in regular session on Monday evening and transacted a volume of important business. The chamber discussed the question of sewers at some length and instructed the sewer committee, consisting of Walker, Resh, and Williams to appear before the city trustees at their meeting this evening and lay the matter before them for their construction. Valuable data has been secured from a number of cities and towns in Southern California relative to sewers and the entire matter will soon be ready to be presented to the city trustees. Secretary Walker called up the matter of a new city map soon to be published at Santa Ana, which gives Anaheim a fall in placing the population of this city at 2300. While these figures were taken from the city's vote at the last election, it was his opinion, and in this he was supported by his associates that the outlying population, which he said, would one day be included in the city should be added to these figures. Anaheim’s municipal limits are a mile and a half square. Fullerton’s limits, for instance are larger than those of this city, Santa Ana and Orange combined. The secretary was instructed to correspond with the map makers and ascertain if a better rating could not be given the city. Miss Kate Rea appeared before the chamber and asked for space in which to house the public library until the new Carnegie building is completed. The library must give up its present quarters January 1. The chamber decided to permit the public library to occupy half of the room, with consent of the proprietor of the building, and to charge it half the rent. Miss Rea said she expected the new library would be ready for occupancy in six or eight months. A committee consisting of Howard, Walker and Quarton was appointed on city parks. A preliminary debate was held at the high school yesterday afternoon to select a team to debate with Los Angeles Polytechnic high school. The date has not yet been definitely decided upon but will be on or before January 11th in this city. Anaheim submitted A preliminary debate was held at the high school yesterday afternoon to select a team to debate with Los Angeles Polytechnic high school. The date has not yet been definitely decided upon but will be on or before January 11th in this city. Anaheim submitted questions relative to the division of the state and the parcels post system. Los Angeles will choose the subject. Nine contestants participated in the preliminary debate as follows: Miss Helen Kuhnle, Raymond Nebelung, George Chambers, Elton Goble, Robbie McAuley, Leland Lewis, Julius Steinke, Henry Berg, George Hadley. R. B. Herman, a recent arrival from Montana, has purchased the Kretschmer place east of town. Mr. Herman comes from a state in some portions of which the thermometer falls 30 and 40 degrees below zero, although in the Yellowstone valley, where he farmed 225 acres, the weather was not so extremely cold. Land in Montana can be purchased for from $3.50 to $100 per acre, and water for irrigating purposes is unlimited. During the irrigating season the water runs in the main canals continuously, and a stockholder helps himself to all he wants, without the assistance of a superintendent or zanjero—the latter word is a hard one for him. Mr. Herman says that while he can stand cold weather, yet when the thermometer falls to 40 below it is time for him to be leaving. He is delighted with Southern California and will make a desirable acquisition to the community. The note of conservatism sounded by Speaker Jos. Cannon in referring to financial legislation in his address to the Republican caucus will meet with the approval of thoughtful people throughout the country in spite of the numerous demands voiced by the press that immediate action be taken in the matter. Any effort to legislate expeditiously on the currency problem would almost inevitably result in the passage of ill-advised or ill considered measures. There is a general belief that legislation of a remedial character will be enacted during this session but it should be the result of due deliberation, in every way a credit to the party, and not a half-baked measure passed under the pressure of an evanescent emergency. The First National Bank publishes its financial statement today. Following the recent financial flurry, the statement is one which commends itself to the community, as it reflects credit upon this solid institution. Its resources total the large sum of $469,-268.68 and deposits aggregate $381,345.15. Anaheim has felt no stringency in money. Business moves on smoothly. Every business house in town is making money, and the First National continues to enjoy a floodtide of prosperity. Charles Baxter was a business visitor in town from Brookhurst the first of the week. Mr. Baxter is an extensive grower of cabbage, and states a larger area is being devoted to this crop than ever before. Estimates go as high as 2,000 acres, and the crop promises well, last week's rain having been of great benefit to it. this solid institution.

Hahn gets out occasionally with Olinda Richmond, named after his famous sire now owned in the East and when on a good stretch of road, just lets Olinda step out for a bit of exercise. Hahn has not as yet held the watch on him, but allows he's as good as his sire, who used to pace a mile in the neighborhood of 2:10. Charley Allgeyer was in town on Saturday after the previous nights drenching rain, smiling as an oriental bridegroom. "Nice weather for cabbage," says he. Charley has a big acreage out and will make his fortune this year, if nothing happens. Rain on Tuesday evening amounted to .16 of an inch. On Friday the precipitation amounted to .63. Total for the season, 1.86. Last year to date 1.67. A year ago last night an inch of rain fell and on December 27th three inches fell. Bob Rimpau left yesterday for Tucson, to enter the employ of Ben Heney & Co. wholesale merchants. Heney is the brother of Francis J. Heney, the San Francisco graft prosecutor. A joint meeting of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company was held at the office of the former in this city on Tuesday. A. Pierotti was in town from his ranch at Placentia a day or two ago. He reports continued prosperity in his section. Miss Edith Hadley entertained a number of young lady friends at the home of Mrs. Gade on Tuesday evening last. Frank Nemitz has erected a canvas awning in front of his place of business on Center street. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 9, 1882 There is no use in entering a protest against the sort of weather which has of late prevailed, for it is beyond the power of man to control matters of this kind. But it is exasperating and that is a fact. Rain is needed and as yet the heavens are as cloudless as on a July day. What a vast difference three or four inches of rain within a week would make in the aspect of things. All nature would smile. It would lift a heavy load from the hearts of everybody. It would open purses which otherwise will remain closed tighter than an oyster. Let Heaven weep, let clouds their moisture drop, and cheer the thirsty earth — the drooping crop. The grass lies yellow on the parched plain, all nature pleads for a refreshing rain. Los Angeles has been discussing for sometime past the project of making boulevards from Los Angeles to Santa Monica and from Los Angeles to Pasadena. It is said a petition will soon be presented to the board of supervisors asking them to set apart some of the county funds for the construction and improvement of the highways mentioned. If public aid is given for improvement of the highways mentioned Anaheim has also a petition to present for like aid. The public roads from North Anaheim and Orange-thorpe to Anaheim are bad roads. It is risking nothing to say that if these roads were good and easily traveled the trade of the town would be much greater than it now is. These suburbs of Anaheim are being rapidly settled, the population has almost doubled within a year, and the evil wrought by these roads is more apparent every day. While these improvements are necessary to the convenience and welfare of the people of Anaheim they are not more important than the bridging of the Santa Ana river at Buruel Point. The land in that region is being rapidly settled up and a bridge at the point named would also add greatly to the value of the land. We will recur to this subject again. John Hanna reports the sale of the remaining eighty acres of 4-H Clubs Hold Achievement In Anaheim High California Bankers to Award Successfully Completed One Year Each Project Will Receive The 4-H Clubs of Orange county will presentation day, exercises on the evening with a dinner in the cafeteria of the Prominent club leaders from nearby county attendance, some of whom will serve competitions which will follow the awarding of the achievement pins.

The winners in each project will also receive certificates of achievement from the Orange county farm bureau. The winners are selected by their leaders on a 200-point basis: 100 per cent for project work and 100 points for activities in community service, individual improvement and recreation. Each leader who has achieved a 100 per cent completion of projects will be presented a certificate of honor by the Orange county farm bureau.

The purchasers are Messrs. Kerr and Gamble, and it is understood that they will hold it for some of their friends soon to arrive from Indiana. This Guinn tract affords a notable illustration of the advance in the price of land in this vicinity. Less than a year ago it could have been bought for $30 an acre. Three months ago twenty acres of it sold for $55 an acre, then followed a sale for $70 an acre and the remainder sold for $82 an acre. It is said that the present owners would decline to sell for less than $100 an acre. A dispatch from Boston says that the disagreement between Mrs. Langtry, the beautiful Jersey Lily, and Mrs. Labouchere is the topic of conversation in fashionable circles. Fred Gebhart who followed Mrs. Langtry to Boston and who was the acquaintance objected to by Mrs. Labouchere, was among the first of Mrs. Langtry's New York admirers. Gebhart is a handsome young man of twenty-three, who lives at the hotel Brunswick, keeps a four-in-hand and other equipages, all of which have been at Mrs. Langtry's command during her stay in New York. Gebhart usually accompanied her. His father died a few years ago leaving his son an income of about eighty thousand a year. The young man is well known about town and is a great diner out. He has the reputation of being discreet, quiet, temperate and economical. It is said that his bill for flowers alone during Mrs. Langtry's short engagement in New York was nearly $1,000. Mrs. Langtry has long been known as the favorite to a certain personage who is known as the first gentleman of Europe and to that fact owes a great part of her popularity. The ladies of the Episcopal church will give a promenade social at the Masonic hall on the evening of Thursday, Dec. 14th.

For some time past Mr. W. G. Potter of Centralia, has been using a two-horse wheel cultivator, and he has found it such a valuable adjunct to the farmer as fruit grower that he proposes to import a number and help to introduce them to the notice of his neighbors. His first consignment will arrive shortly. He will also receive a six-tooth cultivator which is said to be invaluable to vineyard owners.

The offence consisted in driving their sheep on land claimed by the settlers on Las Bolsas. They were found guilty and a fine of $40 was imposed upon each. The case has been appealed to the superior court. Mr. F. W. Cocke, proprietor of the Bolsa Grande dairy ships from 150 to 180 pounds of butter, twice each week by express to Los Angeles. The vintage is not over yet. B. Dreyfus & Co.'s crushers were working yesterday on some muscat grapes which were brought in from the adjacent county. From 880 vines of the Black Malvoisie variety, 4 years old, 1260 gallons of must were made by one of our vintners this year. This is as large a yield as we have ever heard of.

It was announced by Arnold Eddy, general manager of the Trojan student body. Eddy's report states that thousands of good seats are still available in spite of the increased demand. Reserved seat prices have been set at $4.40 and $2.20, including government tax. Seating 105,000, the coliseum has been filled to capacity only twice during the Olympic games. A sellout would shatter all national football attendance records for 1932, and would make the Trojan-Irish crowd the largest in the history of the west.
