Anaheim Colonizers Vote to Erect Cactus Wall Around City to Keep Out Wild Cattle Trustees Empowered to Loan $350 for Project Advanced by George Hansen; Zanjero Admonished to Keep Expenses Down and Secretary Instructed to Directions in Minutes What will prove of tremendous surprise to descendants of pioneers of Anaheim is the proposal made by George Hansen that the Anaheim Water company, successor to the Los Angeles Vineyard Society which founded the colony, sponsor and pay for the planting of a six-foot cactus "wall" around the ecology to protect it from inroads of cattle. The motion was presented January 10, 1863, and passed by a vote of 10 to 10 two days later. The meeting then was adjourned, with the trustees empowered to call a special meeting and make a necessary loan of $350 for the project. From the meetings it appears that some of the lot owners had planted cactus around their acresages in order to keep out the cattle. It was about this time when there was a severe drought and cattle were starving on the plains around Anaheim. The beasts would try to break into the "oasis," causing much damage to vineyards and much worry to the early colonizers.

This will be against Whittier's Quakers Saturday at 2:30 p.m. on the Whittler college field. If Clover's proteges win this contest they will meet the victor of another playoff, otherwise, the local boys will retire for the season. Tickets for the play-off, the first in which Anaheim has participated because this is the first time in the memory of man that the Colonists have won the Orange league title, are on sale here. A good-sized crowd is expected to attend. Although the Colonists made only four first downs to their opponent's five, the locals piled up nearly twice the yardage gained from scrimmage and were within scoring territory on four occasions, while the stout defense of Glover's charges kept Anaheim's goal line from being seriously threatened. In the second period Danny Smith faked a plunge into the line, drawing the eager Wildcats out of position, and then tossed the oval back to Ralph Comstock who romped 14 yards over the goal-line for the score of the day. ditch and report at next meeting. No water sales. Henry Padderatz, Sec. Pro Tem. Anaheim, California, January 25, 1863. Adjourned special meeting was called to order by President Mr. Mossemann. Quorum present, minutes of last meeting read and approved. Committee on cactus fence asked for $10.00 to be paid on each contract, allowed. The following recommendation from Mr. Hansen after much discussion: Gib Remembers Lovely Women, Flowing Beards (Continued from Page 1) of that old crowd. It would have been a good supper, too. The only thing that would make me hesitate would be the lack of a dollar and a half, just as it would in the old days. For a dollar and a half was then, as now, some money. Frank Ey and Bob Hussman did all the barbering for the town, in those days and did it easily, for outside of the bi-monthly hair cut there was not a great deal in the barbering line. Indeed, Frank set a bad example with a big set of whiskers himself. I often wondered how he got so rich with those forests of whiskers all around. There were nice little trim beards then. Fred Backs had a modest one. H. C. Gade raised a big beard up in Bodie before he was able to get to God's country and let them ride as they were. I'll never forget when H. L. Paty, who once lived in the West end got an ax handle mixed with Gade's whiskers. The whiskers were sort of a cushion, too. Scotch Henry had a sailor like crop and Tim Carroll was contented with a little bunch on the chin. Charlie Norman looked like an English guardsman with his dropping mustache and Count Jaro von Schmidt's double sets looked like old Vienna. Bob Northam changed the style of his whiskers as often as he did his suits. This was in distinction from his partner, Max Nebelung, who never did change his style. It always seemed to me that the man with the big set of spinach seemed to enjoy the froth more than any other part of his drink when he just sucked what was left off, and did not have to bother to wipe his mouth. I probably could thing of a hundred more sets, if I just had time but this will give the young people of today a glimpse of what Center Street used to look like. It was just a thick fog of whiskers, when the Pioneers were on Sheriffs Combining Hills for Suspects (Continued from page 1) Mayor Koesel, despite his secrecy condition, drove 12 or more miles Anaheim where he got out of his walk to the door of Dr. George Paige and rang for him. Dr. L immediately took him to the sanitary where an operation was performed seal up internal wounds. Mr Koesel's fighting spirit seemed to winning out Monday when he reeled easily, but at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning a blood transfusion was necessary and even then the end seemed not away. He died at 12:30 p.m. The civic leader was general manager of the Anaheim Building and Association, was well known and spected in his business relations. He was appointed to fill a vacancy in the city council August 23, 1928, filling the unexpired term of Carl F. Leon He was re-elected in 1930 and in 1940 this year was elected chairman of the board of trustees, thus to mayorship where his guiding hand been effective in reducing costs of government. Chief Bouldin, Sheriff Logan Jack and other Orange county officials co-operating to the fullest extent of Los Angeles sheriffs in an effort apprehend the bandits. Monday night Wednesday and Thursday fruitless search of all avenues of ease form the district was made, with official making every effort to find culprits. The shooting evidently occurred in Los Angeles county.

W. Crocker, Newport Beach; Chief H. J. Tobias of Garden Grove; and Homer McCormick of Santa Ana were named on a committee to investigate causes for present law enforcement and make recommendations to the association. The matter was brought to the attention of the firemen by Chief Tobias, who had been called to assist at a ranch fire near Anaheim. He found automobiles blocking the driveway leading to the house; cars parked on the roadways so as to impede the progress of approaching apparatus from Anaheim and declared that the fighting of the fire was delayed from three to five minutes because of this interference. Homer McCormick told of the Santa Ana ordinance which forbids a car to follow fire apparatus within 150 feet and to park in the same block in which a fire is in progress. Laguna Beach and Tustin delegates reported fine cooperation on the part of the police. President R. D. Woodward, of Laguna Beach telling of fines imposed on a number of offenders. Education of the public regarding the menace will be one of the aims of the movement, President Woodward said. Future fighting of fires in homes and buildings with the fog-streams now employed in battling oil well fires, was predicted by Glenn G. Griswold, assistant fire warden of the Los Angeles County Forestry department and battalion chief of the fire protection district, in the main address of the meeting in "Oil Well Fires."

Griswold, assist-ant fire warden of the Los Angeles County Forestry department and battalion chief of the fire protection district, in the main address of the meet-ing in "Oil Well Fires." It has been proved, he said, that the use of atomiz-ed water starves a fire quicker than by use of a solid stream from a two and a half or three inch hose, and that the blaze can be extinguished with one-twentieth of the quantity of water, thus preventing heavy damage to buildings and furnishings by water. The fog-stream also permits the firemen to get closer to the blaze and covers a much larger area of the burning section in less time. The fine spray is turned quickly into steam and steam absorbs the heat and starves the fire.
