IN THE DAYS OF L 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 26, 1907 With a hearty "goodbye and good luck" from the president of the United States, the most magnificent armada ever assembled under the American flag, sixteen powerful battleships, is on the way to the Pacific ocean on a cruise not only unique in the annals of American history, but one that has set all the world to talking. The most striking consequence of the deliberations at the Hague has been that, with the sole exception of France, every great power has forthwith set to work to make a formidable increase of naval strength, and the President deserves the affection and loyalty of the American people for his clear acumen in appreciating the necessity of the United States becoming a leading naval power made imperative by the new conditions on the Pacific ocean. President Theodore Roosevelt's determination not to stand as a candidate for another term will cause the American people to think all the better of him for keeping to the premise he made on the day of his election and for respecting the spirit of the tradition established by Washington. Mr. Roosevelt is still a young man and will have many opportunities of rendering services to his country. By his present decision he has increased his popularity and influence and will retain his firm hold on the masses in spite of the highest financial groups. In whatever field he may select for his future activities Mr. Roosevelt will always be a power. The city trustees held a special meeting on Friday evening to confer with the library board relative to giving the latter authority to employ John C. Austin of Los Angeles, as architect of the new $10,000 Carnegie library. The trustees requested that the several plans submitted to the library board be laid before them for consideration before giving authority for emploving an archi- his country.

The trustees requested that the several plans submitted to the library board be laid before them for consideration before giving authority for employing an architect. The subject will be further considered at a meeting to be held this evening at the city hall. The successful architect receives $500 for the adoption of his plans. E. W. McCollum has sold his Philadelphia street residence property to Bert Simpson, lately arrived from Montana with his family, for $4300. Mr. Simpson takes possession on the first. Hugo Strodthoff and a party of friends went duck hunting down in the marshes the other day and bagged 14 birds. Hugo says when occasion demands some use a 30-foot bamboo pole with a hook on the end of it to yank out ducks that fall into the gun club's enclosures. Some sportsmen acquire a bag full of the other fellows ducks by these means dispensing with the use of firearms altogether. Great scheme. Mr. Neff has arranged to hold farmer’s institutes at Buena Park, January 9th, at Norwalk, January 10th, and at Montebello, Los Angeles county, on the 11th. The first two will be especially devoted on the dairying, and the latter which is a new station on the Salt Lake road will be devoted to vegetables and garden farming. City Councilman Fiscus hit the trail for Los Angeles early on Thursday morning last, on business and pleasure bent. He returned on the evening train. Mr. Fiscus has presented the chamber of commerce with the finest donation of selection of walnuts thus far received at the exhibit rooms this season. Clarence Wilson is home from Stanford and is giving his father the latest points in baking bread and pies and cakes. He informs us that next year will be the fifth consecutive time Stanford will have defeated California in the athletic contests. Clarence is whatever you call a josher, but he says it's no josh. Two men and a woman robbed Sam Lee’s store in Chinatown on Sunday morning of $130 in silver. The woman asked for a drink of water and while the attendant was procuring it for her the two men pried open the cash drawer and secured the money. They were later arrested in Santa Ana and were brought over by Constable Smithwick and Officer Jackson on Tuesday morning. Judge Howard held them on $3000 bail which they were unable to procure and they were taken back to the county jail to await trial. John Selinger has presented this office with a sackfull of fine Christmas oranges. Merry Christmas, John, and call again. John is not only the best rifle shot in this division, but he raises the best naval oranges we have seen this year. John Selinger has presented this office with a sackfull of fine Christmas oranges.

Mavhew was in the city from his ranch east of town on Friday. Mr. Mayhew has a tract of 15 acres under a high state of cultivation, several of which are set to Valencia late oranges, and doing nicely. Just to show their prolific growth, he had a limb cut from one of the trees, measuring a length of over six feet made this year. The limb is on exhibition in the rooms of the chamber of commerce. Calendars have been received from Joseph Helmsen, Bird Reebe, The San Diego brewing company, N. Hart, Charles Otto Rust, and Asher & Falkenstein. Fine specimens of color printing. Thanks. L. Nemetz has received as a Christmas present from an uncle in Switzerland a silver watch which by pressing a spring in the side of the case, strikes the hours and quarter hours. With the watch is a rosewood case of ornamental design. The watch is a rarity in this section and is valued at $150. A. T. Vinache, teacher of history in the high school and Milbird Wray started on Monday to walk to Redlands to spend the holidays with friends. W. A. Wallace has a miniature electric railway on display in his window making regular trips. His window displays are always artistic and he says those in search of bargains should get aboard this car. Edgar Hartung, who is a clerk in the Los Angeles Clearing House, spent Sunday with his parents. Mrs. Egge is here from Grand Island, Neb., to spend the winter with her sister, Mrs. Zeus. Percy Rust is home from Belmont to spend the holidays with relatives. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Records of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 23, 1882 A very careful estimate based upon a knowledge of facts, shows that the wine crop of Anaheim for 1882 amounts to 700,000 gallons, an increase over 1880 of 116,000 gallons and over 1881 of 38,000 gallons. Add to this fact that the wine is of a very superior quality—rich in sugar and in coloring matter—and it will be seen that the vignerous have good reason to be satisfied with the year's crop. We have heretofore assumed that 20 cents per gallon would be a fair figure in estimating the profits of wine making, but we are assured by experienced persons that 25 cents per gallon would not be too high an estimate, as the white wines sell at from 18 to 20 cents and the sweet wines from 40 to 50 cents. According to these prices the wine crop of Anaheim is this year worth $175,000. To hold the wine, 4,666 pipes will be required, worth $12 each or $55,992. Three hundred and 11 cars will be required for transportation of this wine, and assuming that it is all sent to San Francisco, the cost of transportation, at $60 per carload will amount to $18,660. In the above statistics, no notice has been taken of the production of grape brandy from the pomace, etc., because it is yet too early to estimate the production. The population of the town of Anaheim in 1880, when the census was taken, was 833 and there were twenty or thirty vacant houses. Now every habitable house is occupied, and a recount of the population would show that there is at least 1000 population. The population of the township in 1880 was but 1469, but there must now be at least 2,000 inhabitants. The population of the county in 1880 was 33,379, but it is now placed at not less than 50,000, and it keeps a growin'.

There was a horse race in town on Tuesday, in which the San Bernardino mare known as "Cricket" was pitted against a white horse owned by Mr. L. F. Lewis of the city stables. Mr. C. B. Brown backed the San Bernardino mare, and thus demonstrated that among his other accomplishments he is a good judge of horses. For at the outcome "Cricket" was forty feet or thereabout ahead of the white horse. The following officers were elected by Sedgwick Post, No. 17, G. A.

Announcement of the marriage of Mr. Searle M. Wren and Miss Minnie C. Hanna is made today. The marriage occurred on Dec. 21st at the home of the bride's parents near Anaheim, the ceremony being performed by Rev. J. A. Emery. Immediately after the ceremony they started by rail for San Francisco and will return in about a month. We extend to Mr. and Mrs. Wren our heartiest congratulations. J. F. Stewart has just finished boring a well for A. McDermont. It is 144 feet deep and the water comes within 20 feet of the surface. Mr. Stewart is uniformily successful in securing good wells, and as soon as his new combined auger and sand pump arrives from the east he will have the best well boring outfit in the state.

The county school census report, published last August gave the number of children in Los Angeles county between the ages of 5 and 17 years under 5 years of age 4,246. All vehicles traveling in hilly country where mud, snow and dirt roads are likely to be encountered should carry tire chains. A shovel is also a great safety precaution when traveling through the mountains during inclement weather. The motorist is also advised to moderate some of his driving habits.Reduction of speed gives him much added advantages in meeting any emergency during wet weather.Smooth tread tires must be avoided and the application of brakes on wet pavements cannot be done with suddenness without disastrous results.Persons inexperlenced in driving during wet weather should go to their automobile dealers or agents, any of whom will give advice and perhaps instruction on the handling of a car in a skid.Motorists should take advantage of these courtesies offered by many automobile dealers and garage people. Lions Ponder Talk On Man’s Intellect Anaheim Lions this week pondered the message of Whittier's H. V.Johnson who talked on "The Development of the Intellectual Powers of Man" at the weekly luncheon-meeting last Friday at the Elks clubhouse.Mr.Johnson,introduced by Program Chairman Percy Houts, stressed the need of concentration in solving individual and collective problems。 Anaheim Lodge No. 85, A. O. U. W. has elected the following officers: S. W. Bryden, M. W.; Frank Ey, Foreman; C. W. Moores, overseer; T. S. Grimshaw, recorder; D. J. Sorenson, financier; H. Cahen, receiver; C. E.

The installation will be held in the evening of Monday, January 8th. The county school census report, published last August gave the number of children in Los Angeles county between the ages of 5 and 17 years as 11,625, under 5 years of age 4,346. The number of children in attendance at public schools was 6,715 and 833 attended private schools. The number of births during the census year was—boys 533, girls 526, total 1059. A crumb of comfort may be found in the fact that the Indians of Lower California are moving to the hills, where they spend the greater part of time, because of an intuition that this winter is going to be phenomenally cold and wet. Mr. Adolph Rimpau who was in that country a few weeks ago, informs us that such is the fact. Among the sights at Luedke's jewelry store is a tiny watch made by that gentleman in Poland in 1842 and an unique and richly ornamented clock made by him in San Francisco some ten years later. Both are fine specimens of the jeweler's craft and show skill and taste on the part of the maker. Professional burglars drilled a hole in the safe in J. H. Woolacott's store in Los Angeles last Saturday night, opened it and took $226 in coin and greenbacks. The store is directly opposite the police headquarters. In accordance with his annual custom, Mr. C. E. Leonard of the Washington Meat Market will kill the fatted beeve, so that his customers can have a royal roast to grace the Christmas dinner table on Monday. The Downey Signal says that those who travel on the railroad between Santa Ana and Los Angeles are running serious risks, because the locomotives are old and worn out and the track in bad condition. There will be a service for the Sunday school children at St. Michael's tomorrow afternoon, beginning at half past three Parents and friends are invited to attend. It seems to me that every quack in the country is exploiting some "anti-septic." Their radio verbiage is sickening with its repetition. Nevertheless people DO need antiseptics for emergency treatment—not necessarily the nostrum of the fakir. Let's see: The laborer "skins" his hand... It may be a poisoned wound; he has no certain way of knowing, but he must play safe. He has probably a bottle of tincture of iodine, maybe a little of mercurochrome—quite likely a teaspoonful of carbolic acid or Lysol at the house. There are no better antiseptics. He may swab the abrasion with either drug in its commercial state, except the carbolic acid, which he must reduce with water, one part to four. Prompt swabbing with the real anti-septic may preserve a limb—maybe life itself. One must not take any chances. We find a skin eruption popping out. We figure on an antisoptic. Well, if pus is in the "breaking out," open and swab with peroxide of hydrogen. Everybody knows "peroxide." Then follow with a soothing ointment that protects the skin from further infection. One of the best ointments for the skin is calomel, twenty grains; oxide of zinc, sixty grains; white vaseline one ounce. Mix thoroughly. This is a good, serviceable ointment for any skin. Bi-chloride of mercury is one of the finest germicides known, in a solution of a grain to the ounce in distilled water. But, this MUST not be taken internally. It is very poisonous taken internally. To apply a blazing match to a wound is painful, but it beats nothing if you have nothing else with you, and are away from first aid. Where Does She Get Her "Pep?" SHE doesn't look seventy. Nor feel that old. The woman who stimulates her organs can have energy that women half her age will envy! At middle-age your vital organs begin to slow down. You may not be sick, simply sluggish. But why endure a condition of half-health when there's a stimulant that will stir a stageant system to new life and energy in a week's time? This remarkable stimulant is perfectly Lardiness. It is, in fact, a family doctor's prescription. So, if you're tired of trying every patent medicine that comes along, tell the druggist you want a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's syrup pepsin. Take a bit of this delicious syrup every day or so, until you know by the way you feel that your lazy liver is again active, and your bowels are poison-free. Men, women, and children who are run-down, who tire easily, get bilious spells or have frequent headaches, are soon straightened out when they get this prescriptional preparation of pure pepsin, active senna, and fresh laxative herbs. (Syrup pepsin is all the help the bowels need, and you do not form the very bad habit of always taking cathartics.) Keep a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's syrup pepsin in the house, and take a stimulating spoonful every now and then. It is all that a great many people ever take to keep strong and vigorous, and absolutely free from constipation. An Army of READERS will see your message in the Anaheim Gazette.
