IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 16, 1908 The Atlantic battleship fleet under command of Rear Admiral Thomas arrived off Coronado beach in Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock. The fleet was welcomed by Gov. Gillett and a party of distinguished state officials. San Diego is in gala attire, and an elaborate program of festivities in honor of the officers and jackies is in progress. The fleet will depart from San Diego on Friday afternoon. The Santa Fe is running fifteen extra trains to San Diego to accommodate the large crowd of sight-seers. Travel is the heaviest in the history of the roads. The ships will pass Newport Beach on Saturday afternoon at 1:30. An Admiral's salute of thirteen bombs will be exploded upon the beach. The ships will pass close inshore and will be seen by probably the largest crowd ever gathered upon the beach. The Southern Pacific will run extra trains to the beach during the day, returning in the afternoon and evening. A special train will run over the Southern Pacific to San Pedro on Saturday evening. R. Melrose and F. A. Backs jr. returned from San Deigo on Wednesday morning's Owl. Mr. Melrose was aboard the state biological boat Agassiz, which was the first vessel to welcome the fleet to American waters. It proceeded ten miles below the Mexican line. It returned with the fleet to the anchorage off Coronado. Mr. Melrose says San Diego is filled with guests as never before in its history and enthusiasm is rampant everywhere. Horticultural commissioners in the different counties of the Sacramento valley have been making a thorough search for the White Fly, fearing that it might have spread from Marysville and Oroville, but reports from all sources indicate that it is as yet confined to those two points and that it is pretty well under control there. Of course, there is still danger of infection from one or the other of these points, but the pest is so thoroughly under control, that this danger has been reduced to a minimum and with proper care, hereafter there will be little danger to be apprehended of this pest reaching the orange sections of the Horticultural commissioners in the different counties of the Sacramento valley have been making a thorough search for the White Fly, fearing that it might have spread from Marysville and Oroville, but reports from all sources indicate that it is as yet confined to those two points and that it is pretty well under control there.

Five hundred and fourteen votes were polled at the municipal election on Monday. The poll was the heaviest every cast in the town. Stock and Gates were elected trustees receiving 302 and 244 respectively. Hahn and Rimpau receiving 243 and 128. Merritt for city clerk had a walkover polling 396 votes. Steadman for marshal polled 322, his opponent Emmett receiving 150. Boege for treasurer defeated Hartung by a vote of 275 to 207. As a result city funds will be transferred from the First National to the German American bank. The vote on Sunday closing of saloons was 243 to 223 in favor of closing. A fire was narrowly averted at C. O. Rust's winery yesterday morning. A bunch of oiled rags in one of the buildings became ignited by coming in contact with the rays of the sun shining through a window. Mrs. Rust discovered the blaze before it gained much headway and smothered the flames with a blanket. She received slight burns about her hands and arms in extinguishing the flames. Mr. Rust and son Percy were temporarily absent from home at the time. Word was received on Monday last of the death of Godfrey Stock sr. at his home in Rega, Michigan, the preceding day. Mr. Stock would have been 86 years old on Tuesday had he lived till then. He visited here twelve years ago. He leaves a family of ten grown-up children. Two sons, Godfrey J. and Herman Stock and two daughters, Mrs. Wm. Johnson and Mrs. E. Johnson, reside in this city. Miss Irene Mills was awarded a silver medal for the best recitation at the Methodist church on Friday evening. There were eight contestants. Lizzie Yoern and Katherine Hayden were awarded honorable mention. The entertainment was under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. Miss Mills will compete in a gold medal contest to be held at Tustin next week under the auspices of the Orange County W. C. T. U.

Mrs. Daisy Freliveider, secretary council of Fraternal aid, has received from Lawrence, Kansas, checks in the amount of $3000 and $2000, for the families of the late Rex Cayce and Michael Neipp respectively. The latter was received from headquarters in less than thirty days after proof of death had been received. The following students of the high school have been selected to represent A. H. S. at the county oratorical contest to be held at Fullerton, May 9th: Helen Kuhnle, senior oration; Gertrude Asher; junior essay; Emma Schindler, sophomore story; Elsa Asher, freshman declamation. Gus Strodthoff came up from Los Alamitos on Monday. He states there are 8500 acres of beets planted for the factory, which is an increase of 3000 acres over last year. The crop is looking well, but an inch of rain in the near future would not come amiss. Fayette Lewis helped Berkeley to defeat Stanford at baseball on Saturday on the former's grounds. The score was 2 to 1. Lewis made one of the two runs scored by his side, and accepted 6 out of 7 chances. Fritz Yungbluth and wife are in San Diego attending the festivities incident to fleet week. Mrs. C. Langenberger has sold a house and lot on Lemon street to Adolph Steinke for $2,500. John H. Boege has taken a lease on an office in the new Mullinix building and will open a dentist's office therein, 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 14, 1883 The Anaheim correspondent of the Times (Los Angeles) writes: "If there is a beautiful sight to be seen anywhere, it is Anaheim vineyards in the spring of the year. And one is able the more to appreciate the sight if he has seen the same vineyards in the fall or winter when the vines are bare and dead looking. There is one noticeable—all our vignerons take much better care of their vineyards now than they did six or eight years ago. They keep them free from weeds, they fertilize them, they irrigate and plow them more thoroughly. And why? Some of them say the wine brought such a low price then that it did not pay them to take more trouble with the vines, that the price is so much better now that they are warranted in giving extra attention to the vineyards. But is it not for the very reason that the vines, receiving better care, produce better grapes and make better wine, and hence the latter commands a better price? But the spirit which several years ago pervaded in our tillers of the soil has given place to a more generous one, to their gain." At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Anaheim Water company, held on last Saturday, the following board of directors was elected: B. Dreyfus, J. P. Zeyn, F. A. Korn, F. Hartung and R. W. Scott. The board will meet this afternoon and organize by electing officers. A resolution was introduced by Judge Alex Bailey reducing the price of stock to $10 per share. An amendment placing the price at $15 per share was defeated, 1016 to 242. The original resolution was adopted, 884 to 469. The very pressing demand for a Reform School or place of detention for juvenile criminals induced the board of supervisors to ask the district attorney whether they are empowered with authority to establish such an institution. The district attorney reported they had not such power. Whenever any vicious or bad bit of legislation is resolved upon, the "law" seems powerless to interpose, but some legal snag is always encountered whenever a really good measure is sought to be consummated. The project, TODAY AND TOMORROW By Frank Parker Stockbridge SUCCESS In three years It is refreshing amid the general gloom to hear of a man who has pulled himself out of the depression by his own efforts. His name is S. C. Driver and he lives at Goldsboro, N. C. Three years ago he had three cents in money and a second-hand automobile. He "borrowed" the use of nine acres of unused land in the Goldsboro Fair Grounds. Then he sold his car for $10 and two barrels of corn. He bought three pigs with his $10 and started farming. Now he has 800 pounds of meat in his smoke-house four sheats, a sow and five pigs, fifty laying hens and plenty of potatoes and vegetables to eat. Money isn't as important as grit and the will to get ahead. BEER It's here again Beer is legal again. The brewers are jubilant. Shortly beer advertisements will appear everywhere, in the hope that the younger generation, which has never acquired a taste for beer, will take to it. The theory of the new beer law is that beer of 3.2 per cent alcohol is not intoxicating. Nevertheless, some states are forbidding its sale to minors. My own idea is that not many people will care to drink enough of this mild beverage to get drunk on it, though that would be possible if one took enough. Beer has never been widely popular outside of the big cities. Americans generally prefer something with a real "kick" in it. We have always been primarily a whiskey-drinking nation. I think the people who expect to get rich out of beer, as well as those who see in it a source of great revenue for the Government, are in for a disappointment. The very pressing demand for a Reform School or place of detention for juvenile criminals induced the board of supervisors to ask the district attorney whether they are empowered with authority to establish such an institution. The district attorney reported they had not such power. Whenever any vicious or bad bit of legislation is resolved upon, the "law" seems powerless to interpose, but some legal snag is always encountered whenever a really good measure is sought to be consummated. The project, however, has not been entirely abandoned as the matter will be further discussed at the May meeting of the board. Death has reaped a large harvest in the family of Jonothan Watson, of Upper Santa Ana. We noted last week that three of his children were suffering from diphtheria. On Sunday evening Josephine aged four years succumbed to the disease. On Monday, Frank, aged 10 years, also died, and on Tuesday, Sidney, aged 2 years was also taken away. The two remaining children have the diphtheria, but they were much better yesterday and will probably recover. In their great affliction the parents have the sympathy of a host of friends. We hear of no other cases of this dread disease. Mr. W. G. Thompson has sold 782 head of sheep, one-year-old ewes and wethers, for $3.10 per head. Only good sheep would have brought such a good price and it is evident that Mr. Thompson is a careful and intelligent breeder. It is quite possible for every sheep-raiser to attain the same results, and the index to his success is given in Mr. Thompson's method of breeding from only the finest stock. On Monday evening as General E. M. Sanford of Los Nietos was going home from Los Angeles, when near the ten-mile house he met Tomas Dominguez going towards the city with fourteen head of his (Sanford's) horses. As soon as Dominguez saw General Sanford he ran over to Lugo's house, where he concealed himself. General Sanford accompanied by Eli Taylor, Peter Rolph, John Fleming and Mr. Van Nuys pursued the thief and captured him. Dominguez was taken to Downey and turned over to the authorities. The sale of twenty acres in the Kraemer tract to Mr. Andrew Rioden is reported by Mr. John Hanna, real-estate agent. He also reports the sale of Lot 3 in Block D vineyard lot D 3 to Rev. J. M. Roberts, who proposes to build a church thereon for use of the Spanish protestant congregation. The lot is situated near the Presbyterian church. Heavy rains in the mountains in San Bernardino have increased the volume of water in the river to an extent unknown for years. Notwithstanding the fact that all ditches are drawing water from the river to their almost capacity, the water was yesterday morning flowing past Burreal Point, something which happens only during the height of the rainy season.

STATES and yet another We haven't admitted any new states to the Union since Arizona and New Mexico were taken in twenty-one years ago, in 1912. Now fifty-eight counties of the "Panhandle" of Oklahoma and northwest Texas are asking permission to set up a new State with Amarillo as its capital. If this is done it will make every American flag out of date; we will have to put 49 stars in the Union Jack instead of the present 48. It will increase the number of Senators to 98, and make a lot of new public offices to be supported by taxpayers. Without disparaging the Texas-Oklahoma project, I suggest that it would be more logical to create a new State out of the city of New York and the close-by counties of New Jersey. That has been talked about. Some day it will come. SCHOOL oldest, celebrates The oldest school in America is celebrating its three hundredth anniversary. It is the Collegiate School of New York, which was founded by the members of the Dutch church in New Amsterdam in 1633. Wouter van Twiller, then the Governor of the colony, wrote back to Holland to ask to have a school-master sent out who might "instruct the youth, both Dutch and the blacks, in the knowledge of Jesus Christ, and also serve as sexton and precentor." Accordingly Adam Rolantsen came over from old Amsterdam and started the school. The Dutch Reformed church of New York has become the wealthiest church organization in the city, owning millions of dollars worth of property which has been given to it in three hundred years. The old school has maintained a high standard of education and sends its graduates to the great universities in increasing numbers. Free public schools were unheard of when the Collegiate school was started, and for nearly 200 years afterward. Many good church people of all sects prefer to send their children to a school where they can be sure of sound religious training as well as "book-learning." Heavy rains in the mountains in San Bernardino have increased the volume of water in the river to an extent unknown for years. Notwithstanding the fact that all ditches are drawing water from the river to their almost capacity, the water was yesterday morning flowing past Burreal Point, something which happens only during the height of the rainy season. April 26th is the sixty-fourth anniversary of the introduction into the United States of Odd Fellowship, and Anaheim Lodge contemplates a celebration of the event somewhat similar to the entertainment given last year. The Grand Master, during his recent visit advised this lodge to reduce the initiation fee from $15 to $10 and the degree fees from $25 to $15. The McMillan Bros. photographers have arrived and have located their tent opposite the Planters hotel and near the Gazette office. The people of Anaheim and vicinity now have an opportunity to get first class pictures at city prices. Their headquarters are at No. 8, Sixth street, San Francisco, where they finish their photographs. Among the distinguished visitors in Los Angeles during the week were ex-Senator David Davis and his bride, Charles A. Dana of the New York Sun and ex-Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer of the same state. Last Sunday seven Chinamen were formally admitted to membership in the First Presbyterian church of Los Angeles after answering the usual questions through an interpreter they knelt at the chancel railing and were baptized. In anticipation of an abundant harvest Mr. Hippolyte Cahen has received a lot of agricultural implements—mowers, reapers, horse rakes etc., which are on exhibition on the lot adjoining his store. A. L. Lewis left on Monday for Sacramento where he will attend school for some time. He will be missed by a large circle of friends. The building of the German church will begin immediately.

Rubber Industry Looks to Futuré Resolutions In Legislature Ask Congress to Protect New "Baby" Crop California's rubber industry, described by its backers as a "non-competitive agricultural crop" has approached California's legislature for the first time, as a preliminary step toward establishing what it hopes will be a strong domestic packet. Resolution announcing the con­gress of the United States to provide for my interests there been presented to the assembly by Assemblyman Ellis E. Deason of King City. Similar resolutions are in the hands of Senator Elizabeth H. Tickle of Carnegie for pres­en­tation to the state senate. The resolutions state, in effect, that the removal of certain exceptions affecting public governmental supply bills, and the enactment of specific tariff adjustments are vitally necessary to place the industry in a position where it may enter the domestic market or a restrictive laws when normal conditions are restored. The government supply bills specify that all goods used by the government shall be American made or grown, with certain necessary exceptions. One of these is rubber. Tariff differentials more distin­cely favoring the rubber industry in California are also necessary, it is pointed out in the resolutions. The California rubber industry has now passed the experimental stage, according to the interests handling its production, and now wishes to place itself in a position to take full advantage of the opportunities that the domestic market affords. The rubber grown in this state is known as gunnyu, a plant variety imported from Mexico. There are approximately 6,500 acres of guanyule in California, 5,000 acres lying within Monterey county. The interests controlling the industry state that supply of 7,500,900 pounds is available at present and that favorable legislation will result in expansion to other portions of the state, the opening Re-Building Work Supervisors Adopt Resolution at Friday Session at Request of Builders' Exchange Orange county's board of supervisors, recommending a general policy of inter-community dealings, recently adopted a resolution urging elimination of imaginary lines or trade barriers in earthquake construction projects. Communities in the quake area are urged to give Orange county unemployed an equitable share of work in reconstruction, and to spread purchase of supplies over the county. Because of much unemployment in the county, the supervisors expressed a desire to see local men get work wherever possible. The resolution was passed at the request of the Orange County Builders' Exchange, and said, in part: "the board of supervisors believes that the county of Orange is small enough in area and sufficiently compact in the distribution of population and business centers that a broad general policy of inter-community dealings with regard to materials, supplies and labor would be practicable and advisable." In urging the spirit of inter-community exchange the supervisors in their resolution declared: "We approve in the present emergency the policy of inter-community exchange in employment of labor and the purchase of materials and supplies and that in this respect, the county of Orange be treated as a unit and that municipal boundaries or imaginary trade lines be eliminated." The resolution is urging that "a spirit of cooperation and mutual helpfulness among the various communities of the county visited by the recent disaster, be promoted and encouraged to the end that so far as possible the unemployed of Orange county and its various communities may be afforded an equitable share of the labor necessary for reconstruction and an equitable distribution of the purchase of materials and supplies." Major league baseball faces the coming season with real confidence. A tight race is looked for in both the National and American leagues. The fans must have their baseball. Get Rid of That SORE THROAT! Any little soreness in the throat grows rapidly worse if neglected. Crush some tablets of genuine Bayer Aspirin in some water, and gargle at once. This gives you instant relief, and reduces danger from infection. One good gargle and you can feel safe. If all soreness is not gone promptly, repeat. There's usually a cold with the sore throat, so before gargling take two tablets to throw off your cold, headache, stiffness or other cold symptoms. Bayer Aspirin relieves neuralgia, neuritis, too. You may use it freely, it does not hurt the heart. NO TABLETS ARE GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN WITHOUT THIS CROSS
