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 and 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 16, 1908 President Crowther of the water board on Monday brought to town announcement of the fact that the Yorba reservoir has been completed by Engineer Kellogg and that a barbecue will be held in the near future to commemorate the event, which is one of great importance to irrigators throughout the valley. The date of the barbecue will probably be on Friday, January 24th, which is the day before the annual election of directors for the Anaheim Union Water company. The election of directors will be a love-feast this year and the present board will probably be re-elected by acclamation. Mr. Crowther raised about $300 by subscription to defray the expenses of the celebration. A fine fat steer, four sheep, several bulls heads, 200 pounds of beans, 100 loaves of bread, tortillas by the hundred and other delicacies will be provided. The meats will be baked in pits in the ground over night and the feast will be spread at the base of the dam which confines the great body of water in the reservoir. A number of prominent men have been invited to make brief addresses among them being Mr. Melrose of this city, Judge Richard Egan of San Juan, Engineer Kellogg of Santa Ana, C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, James D. Schuyler of Los Angeles and others. The Anaheim brass band will be on hand and render musical selections during the day. The completion of the reservoir marks a great advance in history of the valley and the barbecue promises to be one of the most notable celebrations ever held in this section. County Clerk W. B. Williams has made several new appointments on the list of deputies who have the power to register voters. Other appointments will be made later, the appointments so far being in incorporated cities.

The house was decorated in carnations and ferns and a bouquet of these flowers was presented to each lady upon her departure. Delicious refreshments were served and a pleasant afternoon was spent by those present. The first prize was won by Mrs. Falkenstein, the second by Mrs. Asher and the consolation by Mrs. John Dwyer. Mrs. Dickel was presented with a prize as official tally keeper. The club will be entertained next month by Mrs. Holcomb and Miss Dora Zeyn. The six-year-old son of W. E. Shannon living on West Broadway is recovering from a serious attack of membranous croup. The child was so low that on Sunday evening he ceased breathing and a metallic tube was inserted. Respiration was thereby resumed and the patient placed in a fair way to recovery. The tube was removed yesterday and the child continues to improve. The operation was performed by Dr. Johnston, assisted by Drs. Beebe and Wickett. Dr. Johnston said yesterday that the child is in a fair way to speedily recover. Fifty-seven hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Tuesday morning about 4 o'clock, the precipitation being especially heavy at intervals. The downpour brings the total for the season up to 2.72 inches. Last year to date 11.32. Snow fell in the mountains and with clearing skies on Tuesday, the weather turned cooler. The Masonic Lodge on Monday evening installed the following newly elected officers to serve for the ensuing term: W. H. Spake, master; C. E. Holcomb, senior warden; O. Lagman, junior warden; I. Asher, Treasurer; Jos. Helmsen, secretary; re-elected for the fourteenth year; Allan Knapp, senior deacon; W. P. Quarton, junior deacon; Wm. Schwenckert, marshal; Sidney Holman, chaplain; E. Barr, tyler. The Fraternal Aid Lodge on Wednesday evening installed the following officers for the ensuing term: T. S. Grimshaw, president; F. G. Edison, vice-president; Mrs. Emma Seale, past president; Mrs. Daisy Fulweider, secretary; N. F. Steadman, treasurer; Mrs. Mary Mickle, chaplain; L. E. Miller, sentinel; Blanche Mickle, guide; Jacob Schumacher, observer; Herman Stern, trustee; Maud Mickle, musician. Richard Melrose was installing officer. Two candidates were initiated and several vocal selections were rendered by H. A. Dickel and T. S. Grimshaw. The seven-year-old daughter of George Hatfield, who lives at the corner of West and Sycamore streets, is afflicted with a light attack of small pox. The house is under quarantine, and Health Officer Beebe is in charge of the case. The little girl is supposed The seven-year-old daughter of George Hatfield, who lives at the corner of West and Sycamore streets, is afflicted with a light attack of small pox. The house is under quarantine, and Health Officer Beebe is in charge of the case. The little girl is supposed to have been exposed to the disease during a recent visit to Los Angeles. Local hunters report fine shooting in the interstices between the game preserves along the coast. The boys shoot from the county road as the birds fly from the domain of one gun club to another. Also, some of the boys, after a day's shooting, frequently get nothing. Secretary Walker was the only member of the Chamber of Commerce who appeared for the meeting Monday evening. No quorum being present, the meeting adjourned. Edward E. Bustamente has been granted letters of administration of the estate of Manuel A. Bustamente, on a bond of $750. Clemens Amberg and W. P. Webb are sureties. Percy Rust is detained at home by illness and will not resume his studies at Belmont until recovery. He has trouble with his vision and has severe headaches, a result of too close application to his studies. Franz Josef Bestandig of Los Alamitos and Miss Annie Gillison were married on January 8. The newly wedded couple will reside at Los Alamitos where the groom is in business. The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Gillison of Waterfoot, Manchester, England, well known former residents of this section. A Newcomer recently asked Mr. Gilman to make a price on his 40 acre place in the Tuffree tract: "$80,000," said the owner. It is set to 5-year-old Valencia oranges and is said to be one of the finest groves in the county. J. H. Whitaker who recently sold his interest in the Whitaker-Perry stores of Buena Park to E. L. Lewis has repurchased and is back in the business again. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 13, 1883 The board of town trustees met on Thursday. A communication from Dr. Ellis was read in regard to the practice of "ill-conditioned persons," who dumped garbage on the public highways, thus endangering the welfare of travelers. A second communication from the same gentleman reciting certain grievances against the Marshal was also read. The clerk was instructed to write to Dr. Ellis acknowledging the receipt of the communication and to state that the board would endeavor hereafter to have the ordinance enforced which prohibits the public street from being transformed into dumping grounds. In the matter of the hydrant which was broken by the runaway team of H. C. Gade, the clerk was instructed to notify Mr. Gade to replace the hydrant within two weeks, otherwise the town authorities would do so at his expense. The petition to Messrs. Ey and Rimpau for further extension of water main was referred to the committee on public improvements. After auditing a number of bills the board adjourned. A select audience gathered in Kroeger's hall on Monday evening, the occasion being a "musical" which, being somewhat of an impromptu affair did not have publicity enough given to it to attract as great a number as would otherwise have attended. Quartettes, duets and solos were rendered by Miss Alice Chase, Miss Mamie Hanford and by the Messrs. Browning, Witherby, Holman and Smith. Miss Chase's naturally fine voice has been thoroughly cultivated since last Anaheim audience had the pleasure of listening to it, and while retaining all its clearness, it has developed in power and is under perfect control. Miss Hanford is possessed of a sweet sympathetic voice which will always be her passport to public favor. Both ladies were heartily encored and responded with pretty pleasing ballads. Miss Harrison as piano accompanist showed herself to be a most skillful musician. Elaborate and handsome programmes were distributed as sou- Congress has done nothing toward reducing government expenditures and lowering taxes so far, except to struggle with the bill to legalize beer, which is still being hailed as a great revenue-producer, but probably will be vetoed if passed. President Hoover's recommendation for the consolidation of 51 government-bureaus and offices into smaller bureaus, fewer in number, and under the direction of cabinet officers, has not been disapproved so far. When the law passed authorizing the president to work out such economies by executive order, it was provided that such an order should not take effect for sixty days, and that congress could nullify it by an adverse vote during that period. There is a strong movement to do just that, providing again that Congress does not really want economy but political advantage. The senate has refused to hold an executive session to act on presidential appointments, except in the case of Roy D. Chapin, who was named as secretary of commerce during the congressional recess, and whose term will expire in any event with that of President Hoover. The other two-hundredodd vacancies in the public service to be filled by presidential appointments probably will remain vacant until President Roosevelt names the men to fill them. Those War Debts Nearly a hundred million dollars of the war debt installments due to the United States from Europe were paid promptly on the nail on December 15th. Great Britain paid her share, though protesting that she must have a reconsideration of the whole subject before attract as great a number as would otherwise have attended. Quartettes, duets and solos were rendered by Miss Alice Chase, Miss Mamie Hanford and by the Messrs. Browning, Witherby, Holman and Smith.

Miss Hanford is possessed of a sweet sympathetic voice which will always be her passport to public favor. Both ladies were heartily enceded and responded with pretty pleasing ballads. Miss Harrison as piano accompanist showed herself to be a most skillful musician. Elaborate and handsome programmes were distributed as souvenirs of the occasion. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Anaheim held on Wednesday evening, the vacancies on the board were filled by the election of Messrs. Plez James, W. K. James and E. F. Spence, who together with Messrs. S. H. Mott and H. Mabury, now constitute the board of directors. The resignation of Mr. Mott as president was accepted and Mr. Plez James was elected in his stead. The directors are well known as experienced bankers and of unimpeachable financial standing, and the confidence which they inspire is shown by the fact that the business of the bank is steadily on the increase. A citrus fair is to be held at Santa Ana this spring and already the promoters are actively at work to ensure its success. The executive committee comprise the following: Messrs. Snow, Adams, Preble, Tustin, Wall, Judson, Lotspeich, McPherson, Smith, Joslin, Clark, Jenkins, Melrose, Dryfus, A. Guy Smith, Eccles, Strong, Mills, Head, Tedford, Ott, Moesser, Wakeham, McFadden, Spurgeon, Bailey, Halliday, Ross Minter, and Goepper. TAKE NOTICE The meat business of S. Edwards will be continued as usual in Anaheim, any representations by former drivers to the contrary notwithstanding. Jacob Walton is no longer employed as driver by me, and is not authorized to collect unpaid bills. After January 1st, 1883 the business will be conducted by my sons. The continued patronage of the people of Anaheim is respectfully solicited.—Sampson Edwards. Judge Evey met with a very severe accident on Wednesday of last week, in San Antonio canyon. In crossing a ravine the back seat became separated from its fastenings which threw him out backward, and in falling he struck the ground with his shoulders and the back of his head. The Judge was taken to his home at Pomona on Friday, not being able to be removed sooner. Jesus Riuz struck Thomas Moreno on the head and shoulders with a club in Upper Santa Ana for which he was arrested on Thursday by Constable Tyler. Ruiz pleaded guilty before Justice Gannon yesterday and was fined $0. We would publish the following compliment from the Riverside Press and Horticulturist did not modesty forbid: "The Anaheim Gazette, six pages, is one of our best country big papers. Melrose is one of the best newspapermen in the state." Among the bills introduced into the assembly is one to create the county of Orange from the southeastern portion of Los Angeles county. The telegram conveying this information gives with a club in Upper Santa Ana for which he was arrested on Thursday by Constable Tyler. Ruiz pleaded guilty before Justice Gannon yesterday and was fined 10. We would publish the following compliment from the Riverside Press and Horticulturist did not modesty forbid: "The Anaheim Gazette, six pages, is one of our best country big papers. Melrose is one of the best newspapermen in the state." Among the bills introduced into the assembly is one to create the county of Orange from the southeastern portion of Los Angeles county. The telegram conveying this information gives no details. From the fact that it is introduced in the first days of the session, it is to be inferred that there is a determination to push it through to final passage. The true inwardness of the movement will be inquired into immediately. T. S. Harris announces in the last number of the Santa Ana Standard that he has sold that journal to C. and C. F. Stamps. The retiring editors valedictory is mighty interesting reading. Mr. Fred Rimpau arrived from Tucson last Saturday. He has taken a position in the store of Goodman & Rimpau and proposes to remain here for sometime. Fifty-five million feet of lumber were received at the port of Wilmington last year. This is exclusive of that received by the railroad company for their own use. Two children, aged respectively 10 and 4 years, died in Santa Ana on the 3rd inst. from diphtheria. They were the children of Boyd Preston. Mrs. Wallace and Miss Snedeker removed to their farm near Westminister on Wednesday. They propose, however, to continue in the dressmaking business. While walking along the railroad trestlework at Wilmington last week, Mr. Shaw, customs collector, fell and broke three of his ribs. The electric lights of Los Angeles can be plainly seen from Anaheim. The Messrs. White have been appointed agents for a chilled plow which is especially good for gravel land. Four carloads of wine were shipped from the depot this week. Postmaster General Brown is coming in for a lot of kidding because of his testimony before the committee holding hearings on the post office bill. Eight old government automobiles were traded in by his department for a Lincoln. Then the postmaster general found, he said, that the new car was no good for his personal use on formal occasions because the top was too low for him to wear a silk hat in it! So the department bought a bigger Lincoln for Mr. Brown, which he had to explain to the committee. The New Cabinet The next president has not given any inkling of his cabinet selections. It is regarded as certain that Chairman James Farley of the democratic national committee will be postmaster general. That is the distinctly political cabinet post, having a great deal of patronage to give out to the faithful, and exercising a great deal of power when it comes to lining up the party organization. It is believed in some circles Senator Carter Glass of Virginia can be secretary of the treasury, the post he held under President Wilson, if he wants it. His poor health may prevent him from accepting, however. Norman Davis who was undersecretary of state under Mr. Wilson is looked upon as the most likely choice for the state department; his knowledge and experience in foreign affairs is probably greater than that of any other man in the party. Few other guesses about these places are regarded as even good. All indications now point to the largest crowd of office-seekers that Washington has seen in forty years, beginning to assemble in the Capital City immediately after New Years. A lot of them are here now, for that matter, and everybody who is suspected of having any "influence" with the democratic leaders is being besieged with appeals to help beg a federal job for Tom, Dick or Harry. Meantime, the one farm relief project which is receiving any sort of serious consideration is the domestic allotment plan, outlined in these dispatches recently, the outlook for which does not at the moment appear very promising. Anaheim, Calif., Jan. 4, 1933 The Family Doctor Dr. John Joseph Gaines, M.D. TULAREMIA Funny name, isn't it? But the disease isn't funny. In former years when a fellow took sick after skinning rabbits, no attention was paid to that element in the case of either patient or physician; but we have progressed—so, we have "tularemia." Common name for it is, "rabbit fever." The usual history is, the young man has been hunting, with good luck—in rabbits. He has, very properly, skinned and dressed them for family use. He gets a sudden chill, followed by fever—pains all over the body with vomiting and prostration generally. He may break out in pustules, that is, "plumps" containing pus. These are of the nature of a small-pox eruption, though much less pronounced. Given the above history and symptoms we are justified in looking out for a case of "rabbit fever." It is rarely fatal, but may be many months in getting well. It depends on how the patient resists that sort of infection, how long recovery may be delayed—the same as in other infections. My duty here is, to advise you to wear rubber gloves if you skin your rabbits; not having any, be sure that you have good sound skin on the hands. No splinter-scratches or other little wounds, where the fresh rabbit-blood may get into you own. Soap and scrub the hands after dressing the game. I have skinned hundreds of rabbits; never used gloves in the process, and never had tularemia. But I may have had narrow escapes! I shall be mighty careful in the future you may be sure. Cooking renders rabbit meat clear and wholesome for eating. No standard treatment has been adopted, for the disease. Quinine and a milk protein have had excellent reports to their credit. 4-H Club News Jerseys Help Boy To College When Esley Hope Forbes, Jr., a North Carolina 4-H club boy living near Gastonia, finishes his education he will not be worrying about what he is going to do. For he has a fine herd of Jersey cattle at home which will give him a good job, and he can be his own boss as well. For his outstanding record in dairy work Esley won a scholarship this last fall during the state fair. The award was made for a large life insurance company at Raleigh, by the extension leaders at the state college. It was the highest honor which could be given a club member in the state. For nine years this boy has been an esteemed in dairy work. His first Jerseys bought for $150.00. That was back when dairy cattle were selling for much more than now, but the heifers do were a pair of twin heifers which he not owe him a cent. With that start he has raised 28 purebred Jerseys and has 13 still in the herd. Its value is placed at $2,300.00, and his winnings at fairs are around $1,000. During the summer of 1932 the boy was chosen as a delegate to the national 4-H camp held in Washington, D.C. He was with outstanding club members assembled from all over the country to study the functions of the government with relation to agriculture and to see the sights of the nation's The other two-hundred in the public service to presidential appointments remain vacant until Presidents names the men to fill War Debts hundred million dollars of installments due to the from Europe were paid on December 15th.
