IN THE DAYS OF L 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 26, 1908 The chamber of commerce exhibit-room has been added to by receipt of a fine exhibit of flour from the Olive Mill, and a string of fancy peppers from Allan Knapp. Mr. Rose has refilled the grain exhibit, the tables have been stained by Mr. Webb and the interior presents a more inviting aspect. Exhibits of fruit and vegetables are desired. Those having samples of good size and quality are invited to bring them in. The output of the Olive Milling company for the past year is stated as having been the largest for a period of ten years. The capacity is now 100 barrels of flour daily and in addition to this large quantities of cereals, feed, etc., are turned out. The company has eighteen employees, its payroll footing up to $1100 monthly. The mill has been in operation over twenty years. It is owned by Orange county residents and the plant property, stock and equipment is valued at $60,000. City Clerk Merritt reports 637 registered voters within the municipal limits, an increase over two years ago of 164. The total poll two years ago was 373, out of a registration of 473. The registration shows an increase of 35 per cent, and if a similar increase obtains at the election next month the total vote will be 503. The town is growing. John Hart was in town on Saturday from Los Angeles selling tea and coffee. John has the reputation of being the best-looking man on the road, and his good looks indicate he is getting younger every day. Here is his latest story: "A man being advised by his physician to go to the beach and bathe his feet in salt water for gout, wended his way to Bay City. He strolled down upon the beach noting the highide with wonderment. He met a John Hart was in town on Saturday from Los Angeles selling tea and coffee.

Here is his latest story: "A man being advised by his physician to go to the beach and bathe his feet in salt water for gout, wended his way to Bay City. He strolled down upon the beach, noting the hightide with wonderment. He met a fisherman and asked him this simple-minded question: 'Do you own this water?' The fisherman told him he did. 'Well, I want to buy two buckets full of water. How much will you charge?' The fisherman said it would be about half a dollar a bucketful. The man got the water and took it to his cottage on the hill. The next day he returned for more water. The tide was out. 'That water did my feet so much good I want to get two more bucketsful. But say, Mister,' he continued as he shaded his eyes to see where the water had receded to, 'you must be doing a land-office business.'" (Reports have it that the fisherman was none other than Phil Stanton). The Whittier farmers' institute held last week was one of the most successful ever held in this part of the state. The attendance was large often being above 300. On Tuesday which was devoted to the vegetable industry addresses were made by Prof. Wickson and Prof. Woodworth of the University of California. Mr. Cronemiller, Mr. Lambert and others. Wednesday was walnut growers' day and addresses were made by J. B. Neff of this city, who told of top grafting old walnut trees with the view of controlling the blight, A. H. Dunlap told of walnut growing in France, Prof. Ramsey and E. L. Koethers also spoke. Friday was citrus growers' day and A. G. Schulz, Porterville, C. C. Teague, Santa Paula, J. H. Reed, Riverside, and others were among the speakers. An excellent display of citrus fruit was made which consisted of more than one hundred boxes of commercially packed oranges and lemons from every part of the citrus growing district. The brick walls for Samuel Kraemer's new building east of the First National Bank are up to the second story, and work is steadily progressing. The building will be one of the largest as well as one of the handsomest architecturally in the city. The lower story will be occupied by B. V. Beebe and P. J. Weisel. The upper story will be devoted to offices. Andrew Joplin and Ed Adkinson who killed a bear at the head of Trabuca canyon about three months ago have sold the skin to the biological survey museum at Washington, D.C. The hunters made the claim at the time the bear was killed that it was a grizzly. This was doubted by some sportsmen. C. Hart Merriam, chief of the biological survey, has written to Joplin that the skin arrived safely in Washington and Merriam pronounces it the skin of a genuine female grizzly. She was undoubtedly the last of her race in the Trabuca mountains, and was shot after she had fought off a pack of dogs. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis and Leland Lewis went to Los Angeles on Monday to witness a ball game between St. Vincent's place is only ten miles away from good soil, where there is panic stricken at of the corral within Cape Town boroughs.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis and Leland Lewis went to Los Angeles on Monday to witness a ball game between St. Vincent's and Berkeley, in which Fayette Lewis played shortstop for the visitors. The game went 11 innings, St. Vincents winning by a score of 7 to 6. The nines played again on Tuesday. Earnest of Long Beach played short. The game resulted: St. Vincents 4, Berkeley 3. Miss Elsie G. Bradford, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Bradford of Placentia, died at the family home on Tuesday evening of last week, after an illness extending over a period of three years. Deceased was aged 25 years. The funeral occurred on Friday afternoon, Rev. Hopkins of the Fullerton Presbyterian church conducted the services. Interment was in Anaheim cemetery. John Weaver and Miss Eva Huntington were married on Sunday afternoon at the residence of the bride's parents at West Anaheim. Rev. Markel officiated. A short honeymoon will be spent at nearby coast resorts and on their return the happy couple will take up their residence in the newly erected cottage in the East end which the groom has recently erected. Mrs. C. C. Spring of Brookhurst entertained on Wednesday in honor of her birthday. Those present from Anaheim were Mrs. Wm. Konig, Mrs. John Hartung, Mrs. Wm. Falkenstein and Mrs. A. Rimpau. The birthday cake was made by Mrs. Konig and was beautifully decorated. Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw attended the 25th anniversary of the Presbyterial society which convened at Pasadena for three days the past week. Alexander Gardiner, the well-known Orangethorpe agriculturist, was in town the first part of the week on a business mission. O. W. Strodthoff and wife were down from Los Angeles on Sunday visiting relatives. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only ens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 24, 1883 The twenty-two ostriches belonging to the "Southern California Ostrich Farming company" arrived by the noon train on Thursday in charge of C. J. Skitchley, who has been irreverently dubbed "the ostrich shark." The advent of the birds attracted a number of sightseers to Costa station to witness the debarkation of the strange immigrants. The transfer of the birds from the car to the large cage mounted on Gade's truck, and the journey from the station to the farm, was accomplished without a mishap of any kind. As preliminary to getting each bird from the car, Mr. Skitchley would steal warily behind the ostrich, grasp him firmly by the neck and slip a stocking over his head. In this condition the bird remained passive and permitted three men—two grasping a wing on each side and one shoving lustily behind—to get him into the cage. On arriving at the corrals they were turned loose, and manifested their joy by indulging in the most ludicrous antics. For over half an hour they kept up an incessant waltz around the corral and in other ways manifested their delight at escaping from their pent up quarters in the car. Their present stopping place on the McGregor place is only temporary and various tracts in this vicinity will be examined before making a final location. The company wants good soil, where they can grow beets, turnips, alfalfa, etc., with which to feed the birds. We are requested to give publicity to the fact that octriches are in mortal fear of dogs. The birds get panic stricken at the advent of a dog and rush against the sides of the corral with such force as to break their legs. Any person in Cape Town bringing a dog to an ostrich farm is fined 500 pounds. Tomorrow is Easter Sunday, the anniversary of the resurrection of Christ, justly held as the greatest festival of the Christian Tomorrow is Easter Sunday, the anniversary of the resurrection of Christ, justly held as the greatest festival of the Christian year. There will be a full morning service at St. Paul's church, Tustin City, beginning at eleven o'clock, this being the first time in which morning service has been held there on this festival. In the evening there will be services at St. Michael's church, this city, the Rev. C. F. Loop assisting, and a celebration of the Holy Communion. The special Easter offering this year is for the current expenses of the church. There will be the usual parish meeting after service Tuesday, Easter week, beginning at 7:30 p.m. There will be an Easter Praise service in the Presbyterian church tomorrow at 11 a.m. Prof. W. A. Packard will conduct the singing and also render suitable music both vocal and instrumental. Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. Wednesday evening meeting at half past seven. All are cordially invited to attend these services. The stockholders of the Farmers' Ditch company of Orange-thorpe held a meeting last Saturday, at which was discussed the feasibility of the plan mentioned in these columns several weeks since. It will be remembered that it was suggested that if the members of the company would take, say one thousand shares of Anaheim Water company stock at $10 per share, the money to be used in building the ditch and a small dam at the reservoir, the result would meet with favor at the meeting referred to, and Messrs. Smith, Mead, Schultz and Porter were appointed a committee to confer with the officers of the Anaheim Water company in regard to the matter. At the conference a free interchange of views was given and it was suggested that a definite proposition in writing be drawn up and submitted at a future meeting. The Fairview company also met a few days ago to discuss water matters. It is probable that they also will submit a written proposition looking to consolidation with the Anaheim Water company. The exports from the Anaheim depot for the week ending March 21st were: 5 carloads of wine, 108,060 pounds; 560 boxes of oranges and lemons, 31,925 pounds; miscellaneous lots, 35,623 pounds; total 176,608 pounds. The shipments for the previous week amounted to 847,982 pounds, and the imports for the same period, 357,510 pounds. This morning the employees of the Southern Pacific railroad were notified that hereafter the day's work would be eight hours, and, of course, their pay would be reduced accordingly. This is a reduction on the car-shop men of one hour. Work now commences at 7:30 a.m. and stops at 4:30 p.m. We hear that this order is general from Ogden to New Orleans. The next session of the Teachers' Institute for Los Angeles county is called for April 9th, to continue for five days.

State Superintendent Welcker, Prof. Allen of the State Normal school and other leading educational workers will be present and participate in the exercises. M. H. Cheeseman of the Fairview Store is ptting up a yeast powder which he will guarantee as strictly pure. It has already become a favorite with those who have given it a trial. In a short time he will put in cans all kinds of the purest spices. The Messrs. White have moved into their new shop on Los Angeles street, adjoining the Gazette office. They have signalized their removal by getting some of the handsomest carriages, buggies and phaetons ever seen here. Sulphur is indispensable in every vineyard. It is being used more freely every year as a preventive of mildew. Messrs. Dreyfus & Co. have purchased a large quantity of the best sulphur for vineyard purposes and advertise it for sale. A complaint was filed in Justice Bailey's court during the week charging H. M. Owens with destroying a public bridge. The offence was committed at Las Bolsas. A change of venue was taken to Downey. One of the editorial staff of the San Francisco Bulletin, who has traveled extensively throughout Southern California in the past few weeks writes that the grain fields of Los Angeles county are greener and thriftier than in any other southern county. Mr. Harker, the proprietor of the new harness shop, has received from the east a handsome lot of goods in his line and has had circulars printed at the Gazette office apprising the public of that fact. Dr. Bardell has had a deep well bored on his place on Lemon street. J. Bennerscheidt is boring a second well for himself on Clementine street and T. A. Darling is having one bored near the depot. He has no patience with people who tell him that his way is the wrong way, before it has been tried out. That is why he bought out his minority stockholders for nearly a hundred million dollars in cash, because they thought the right way to run his business was to pay all the profits in dividends, instead of using them to improve the plant and the product and reduce the price to the buyer. HOSPITAL so different One example of Mr. Ford's "autocracy" often cited is his management of the big hospital which he gave to the city of Detroit. Although not a resident of Detroit, Mr. Ford was a member of the committee which was trying to raise funds for a new city hospital. Money came in slowly and conflicting ideas about what kind of a hospital ought to be built were put forward. Mr. Ford finally said that if they would give him full control he would put up all the money and build the finest hospital in the world. He did exactly that, after employing scores of experts to study and report upon hospital construction and management in all the great medical centers. The Detroit hospital is the only important hospital that is not run by doctors. It is run by Henry Ford's apprentices for the benefit of the people of Detroit. A good many doctors don't like that, but I doubt if there is any hospital in the world where ordinary patients have more comfort and better medical care. FINANCE wrong system The depression has proved, not that there was anything the matter with our industrial system, but that the nation's financial system had got into the hands of incompetent or reckless men bent on enriching themselves at the expense of the public. The chairman of the board of the nations largest bank resigned a few days ago, as a result of disclosures of his banking methods before a Senatorial investigation committee. The country has been suffering from too many weak banks and too few honest bankers. One of the big jobs the new Administration has ahead of it is Ask Restrictions On School Bonds State Chamber. Sponsors Bill To Require Bond Funds for Capital Uses Only Restriction of the expenditure of money derived from the sale of school bonds to capital uses is proposed in a measure now before the legislature. This bill, sponsored by the California state chamber of commerce as a unit of its tax reduction and governmental economy program, has been introduced because existing law on this subject imposes no liability for diversion of bond funds of school maintenance purposes. Through the measure sponsored by the state chamber the language of the present law relating to the use of school bonds is strengthened, and the stated purposes for which such funds may be issued are made more definite. The measure provides that when an election is called, upon petition, such a petition must be made by a majority of families as at present. Expenditure of such funds will be limited to acquisition of land or improvement, grading or landscaping; construction of buildings and fixed structures; purchase and installation of fixed equipment; and major alterations or additions to existing buildings and structures. The new act specifically states that provisions for bonds thus voted shall not be applied to any other purposes than those for which the bonds were issued. Issuance of bonds for liquidating any indebtedness already incurred is prohibited by repeal of the section in the present law permitting such use of bond funds; issuance of bonds for the purpose or refunding school district warrants is also prohibited. Provision for enforcement is made by requiring the county auditor to limit all payments to lawful purposes.

Was she married? Was it summer? Surely the fruit-laden orange trees she could see were not in Chicago—this silk-covered bed was not a hospital cot. Yet—the last thing she remembered was a skidding taxicab on a sleeting November day in Chicago. And when a man came and sat on her bed and kissed her goodbye for a hurried business trip, telling her to be careful after her fall from her horse the day before, her mystification was complete.
