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 FEBRUARY 20, 1908 Tom Talbert of Huntington Beach is mentioned as a candidate for assemblyman from this county. Tom has lived in this county many years and has an excellent reputation and has many friends throughout the county who are ready to whoop it up for him the minute he gets the nomination. Assemblyman Bishop is also a candidate to succeed himself, and there promises to be a bit of a scrap over the nomination in the convention. How would it do to renominate Bishop who aspires to the speakership with excellent prospects of landing it and send Talbert to the senate? What say you people of the Beach? Let the county seat and the beach metropolis shake hands over the bloody chasm with Bishop and Talbert leading the way. What say ye? The newly organized Ebell society at a meeting at Mrs. Hartung's residence on Saturday afternoon installed the following newly elected officers: Mrs. Harry Dyer, president; Mrs. Otto Storm, first vice president; Mrs. H.

Seldom has this city been moved to such inexpressible depths of sadness as characterized the death of Mrs. Bird V. Beebe on Monday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock. The young mother offered up her life as a sacrifice to the birth of her child. The cause of death was septicaemia which attacked the patient on Thursday last. Dr. Johnston was called and Dr. Moore of Los Angeles, a specialist in such cases was summoned. Dr. Johnston remained with the patient constantly until the hour of her death. Mrs. Beebe, formerly Miss Ida Witte, came here with her parents in the early 80's. Besides her husband she leaves a babe born two weeks ago and a son by a former marriage, Earl Crist. The funeral will occur this (Thursday) afternoon at two o'clock under the auspices of the Rebekahs. Thieves ransacked Frank Dyer's barber shop on Los Angeles street some time during Friday night. Entrance was effected through the front window in which a large pane of glass was smashed. The intruders found nothing, although every drawer in the place was ransacked. Frank took his razors home with him on closing the shop. The place was burglarized some years ago and a sum of money and several razors and other articles were taken. Recorder Howard had two soggy waffles for breakfast when court opened on Monday morning, the police having run them in the night before. They were given a minute to kite out of town, and they skedaddled. After this all hoboes will be given a warm reception. The ladies euchre club was entertained by Mrs. Chester Holcomb on Thursday afternoon. The rooms were decorated in honor of St. Valentine and the tally cards also were valentines. The first prize was won by Mrs. Sandilands, the second by Mrs. Hatzfeld and the consolation by Mrs. Burgess. Delicious refreshments were served and an enjoyable time was had by all present. The annual report of the secretary of the Santa Ana Valley Walnut Growers association shows that for the season of 1907 about $140,000 was received by members. The association handled 1,118,100 pounds of nuts. The price received by the growers was $13.55 per 100 pounds. The actual cost of operation including final payments on machinery, this year was 73 cents per 100 pounds, which was 19 cents less than last year. The association is clear of all indebtedness. About 60 friends surprised Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schumacher on Friday evening, the occasion being their fifteenth wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Schumacher took part in a mock ceremony attended by Mrs. Cave Benson and Mrs. Asher, humor; Miss E. Kate Rea, parliamentary drill.

About 60 friends surprised Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schumacher on Friday evening, the occasion being their fifteenth wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Schumacher took part in a mock ceremony attended by Miss Cora Bowen and Richard Dugdale. Miss Frances Backs was flower girl and Mr. Eastman acted as pastor. A punch bowl and glasses were presented to Mr. and Mrs. Schumacher. The evening was spent in games and light refreshments were served. C. E. Groat has bought the 320 acre alfalfa ranch of Ford and Chase seven miles north of Corona. This property includes a ranch house, large barns and a pumping plant. Joe and Charley Wagner and a party of friends, with a pack of hounds indulged in a coyote chase up in La Habra valley on Sunday. The varmints were scarce only one coyote being killed. Mrs. Louis Passmore has brought suit in the Los Angeles court for divorce from her husband charging statutory grounds. Mrs. Passmore was formerly Miss Selma Roller of Centralia. Rev. T. Beazley, a former pastor of the Presbyterian church here, but for some years a resident of Fullerton, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. T. Brown, in that city on Saturday afternoon. The funeral was on Monday and interment was made at the Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Charlotte Adams Corneille entertained Mrs. Alice Reed Fiske of Helena, Montana, and Mrs. G. K. Bretherton of Los Angeles over the week-end. Maurice and Harry Ray of Fullerton entertained a party of old time Cincinnati friends on a sight-seeing trip on Sunday. R. Krastel has established poultry yards at the corner of Adele and Emily streets and will buy poultry and eggs for the Los Angeles market. He will breed thoroughbred White Wyandottes. He is a poultry man of many years experience having formerly been engaged in raising poultry for the New York market. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FEBRUARY 17, 1883 A glorious rain on Monday night and Wednesday completely metamorphosed the nature of things. The fall, as indicated by Mr. Langenberger's gauge was 1.05 inches, at the railroad depot 1.98, at Mr. E. A. Saxton's 1 3-16, at Mr. E. S. Saxton's 1.30. In Los Angeles the highest fall recorded is 4.08. At San Gabriel the highest fall recorded was 6.91. With the showers which may yet be reasonably expected, very fine crops will undoubtedly be raised in this county. The river which before the last storm was alarmingly low, is now a turbid rushing stream. Water is being taken into the lowest ditch. The dense pack of snow on the mountains gives assurance that water will be abundant for some time even if we are not favored with another rain storm. The new five cent nickels which are being coined at the Philadelphia mint bear a dangerous resemblance to a five dollar piece, and when gilded it is difficult to distinguish them from that coin. For this reason there is considerable opposition to their issuance and it is possible their circulation will be suppressed. The first strawberries of the season were sold in the New York market last week. They were raised in a Jersey hot house and brought fancy prices. This week the market received a shipment of 23 quarts raised on St. John's river Florida. The berries were sold at Jacksonville at one dollar a quart and were brought to New York in the refrigerator of a steamship, each quart costing, delivered $1.25 from the time the berries were shipped from Florida. They were owned by different people and the combined cost and profit were $294.50. The lowest price at which a single quart was sold was $1.00 and the highest $5.00. The highest profit made by any dealer was $1.50 a quart. In the entire consignment there were about twenty-three hundred berries, or one hundred to a quart. For the twentieth time since it was adopted in 1787, the Constitution of the United States has been amended again. By the ratification of the "Lame Duck" amendment by 36 states, three-quarters of the total number, the term for which Roosevelt was elected President has been shortened, as well as the terms of all Senators and Representatives. Never again will we be treated to such a spectacle as is now on view in Washington, of a President and Congress who have been repudiated by the people still holding office and carrying on the business of the Government. It took Congress ten years, after Senator Norris of Nebraska first proposed it, to submit the amendment providing that a new President and Congress would take office two months after election, instead of four months, without any intervening sessions of the hold-overs. But it took only a year for the amendment, once submitted, to be ratified. President Roosevelt's term, which begins on March 4, 1933, will end on January 20, 1937. The terms of members of Congress elected in 1934 will end on January 3, 1937. There will be no session of the old Congress between the election and the incoming of those newly elected. Economic Skies Brighter The agreement between President Hoover and President-elect Roosevelt to have the State Department make arrangements for the discussion of war debts, beginning early in March, is looked upon here as a step which holds out the hope that there will be no delay after the new Persident takes office in working out a readjustment of the international financial situation. The British government will send a representative to Washington to thrash market last week. They were raised in a Jersey hot house and brought fancy prices. This week the market received a shipment of 23 quarts raised on St. John's river Florida. The berries were sold at Jacksonville at one dollar a quart and were brought to New York in the refrigerator of a steamship, each quart costing, delivered $1.25 from the time the berries were shipped from Florida. They were owned by different people and the combined cost and profit were $294.50. The lowest price at which a single quart was sold was $1.00 and the highest $5.00. The highest profit made by any dealer was $1.50 a quart. In the entire consignment there were about twenty-three hundred berries, or one hundred to a quart. The electric light recently installed in Los Angeles has proved a great success. In addition to the masts there are forty-two lamps lighting the several stores and saloons, and orders are being put in daily for more. Mr. Howland intends sending at once for another dynamo machine as the two at the works are doing all the generating they are equal to. Mr. Henry Grosjean, a commissioner of the agricultural department of the French government, was in town on Monday informing himself of viticultural matters. He speaks highly of the vineyards here, and gives it as his opinion that, particularly in sweet wines this region excells. Mr. Grosjean returns to Paris in a few months to prepare a report of all information he has gleaned during his two years of travel through every state in the union. Mr. R. B. Wiseman has returned to Santa Ana from Calico, in which latter place he has been for some time. He reports mining matters lively in the camp. We are glad to know that Mr. Wiseman has bonded one of his mines for a handsome sum. His good fortune, however, was not without alloy, as he is suffering from an affection of the eyes, induced by the glare of the suns on the rocks. The man whose horse was killed in Los Angeles Chinatown on Thursday, through the explosion of a bomb, was offered by Ah Toy, the financial loss in that section. fifty dollars damages, but declined, demanding one hundred and seventy-five. The faulty Chinaman was arrested and fined $10, the owner of the horse getting nothing. This may be called "penny wise and pound foolish" policy. An assortment of up-to-date buggies has been received by Messrs A. E. and E. A. White, which are worthy of notice. They are not "cheap" buggies in common acceptance of the term, but they are cheap when durability strength and finish are taken into consideration. The same firm has also received a new lot of Mitchell wagons, they having sold every one of the number previously imported. The preliminary examination of Conductor Reid and Brakeman Patton, who were in charge of the wrecked train at Tehachepi resulted in the court discharging Reid and finding Patton guilty of gross negligence for leaving his post. His bail was fixed at $2500. The examination was held in a Bakersfield court. On last Friday morning at about 1:30 one of the largest fires that Riverside has experienced broke out in a building belonging to the local fire department. Economic Skies Brighter The agreement between President Hoover and President-elect Roosevelt to have the State Department make arrangements for the discussion of war debts, beginning early in March, is looked upon here as a step which holds out the hope that there will be no delay after the new Persident takes office in working out a readjustment of the international financial situation. The British government will send a representative to Washington to thrash out not only the question of what can be done about the money which England owes the United States, but also to go thoroughly into all the related subjects such as depreciated foreign currencies and tariffs which impair England's power to pay their debt in commodities. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hoover are in perfect accord on the idea of treating with each of our European debtors separately instead of in a general conference on the subject of debts. As Mr. Roosevelt expressed it, this will not give the European nations a chance to "gang up" against America. At any rate, there is a much more hopeful feeling in the air about the general economic situation. Farm Relief and Bonus While it seems certain that the farm relief project providing for bonuses to farmers who voluntarily reduce their crop acreage will eventually be enacted, the bill seems likely to have hard sledding ahead of it so far as the present Congress is concerned. There have been so many amendments adopted by the Senate Committee which is considering it, that, even though it passes the Senate, it is not regarded as probable that the House will agree to many of the changes which have been made, and since the present Congress cannot sit later than March 4th, there seems to be hardly time to get the differences ironed out. As the measure stands now, the bonus to be paid to the farmer who reduces production is to be the difference between the pre-war price of his commodity, as recorded in government statistics, and the market price at the time his product is sold. Thus, if wheat was 95c a bushel—which figure has been accepted as the pre-war standard—and is now 40c a bushel, the farmer who agrees to a 20 percent reduction in his wheat acreage will get a bonus of 55c a bushel above the 40c market price received for such wheat as he actually sells. This bonus is to be imposed as a tax upon the millers who buy the wheat. They will, of course, pass it on to the buyers of flour. It may make a difference of a cent a loaf in the price of bread to the retail consumer. Tense Agricultural Situation Washington is beginning to wake up to the seriousness of the agricultural situation in the Middle West. The preliminary examination of Conductor Reid and Brakeman Patton, who were in charge of the wrecked train at Tehachepi resulted in the court discharging Reid and finding Patton guilty of gross negligence for leaving his post. His bail was fixed at $2500. The examination was held in a Bakersfield court. On last Friday morning at about 1.30 one of the largest fires that Riverside has experienced broke out in a building belonging to George Stone. The fire spread rapidly and in about ten minutes six frame buildings in the block were in flames. By efforts of almost the total population of the town, the fine brick building just erected by John C. Cunningham was saved. The losses include the press and material of the Riverside Press and Horticulturist, owned by L. M. Holt. Damage $2,300 and insurance $1,900. Until new press and material is received, the Press will be printed in San Bernardino. We condole with our friend Holt in his misfortune. Last week Murdock Henry sold his 40-acre tract west of town, through Mr. Hanna's agency, to Frank Moore for $1600. He immediately afterward repented of the bargain, however, and bought 40 acres from Mr. G. G. Greeley, just opposite his former tract, paying the same amount therefore. Mr. Henry paid the cash, got his deed, and it has already been placed on record. On last Saturday afternoon Mr. Hildredth's horses ran away and he was thrown from the high seat of his wagon. He was hurt about the shoulders and head and it was at first thought that his injuries were serious, but we learn that he has almost recovered. Mr. Perry, better known as "Potato Perry" from the fact that he peddles that vegetable, was thrown from his wagon in Santa Ana on Thursday and had his leg broken. Advices from Sacramento are to the effect that the county division scheme is killed beyond redemption. The committee to which it was referred decided it to be unconstitutional and so reported. Better luck next time. Frank Ey has added to his stock an immense supply of cigars which he sells wholesale or retail. His store is now crowded with articles of beauty and usefullness, and his prices are a revelation. The number of valentines that passed through the Anaheim postoffice on Wednesday was only 217. "First Lady" Secretary Miss Malvina Thompson of New York, will be the official secretary to Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt when the latter takes up her duties as "first lady of the land" on March 4. WHAT AN APPETITE "Alice," the elephant in the Bronx Zoo, is the most expensive boarder there. She takes 150 pounds of hay, 15 loaves of rye bread and a pail of bran mixed with oats every day. Inflation of the currency by one means or another are multiplying, but as yet no particular project to that end has enough support to indicate that it is likely to be adopted. California Dairymen Meet February 23-24 The annual meeting of California Dairy council will be held in Tulare on February 23 and 24, according to announcement by Sam H. Greene, secretary. Discussions will be devoted to appraisal of the present dairy situation and an attempt to foretell conditions of the present year with sufficient accuracy to serve as a guide for dairy activities.
