IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 23, 1908 All Orange county went to the shore on Saturday, and during the present week a continued exodus to the beaches has been in progress. The Atlantic fleet of battleships was the attraction. The fleet first appeared south—southwest off Newport Beach at 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. It is estimated that from 12,000 to 15,000 people gathered at the beach to see the ships. The steam car service was totally inadequate to handle the crowds and not one person in four found seats in the cars. The 9:52 train southbound, for instance, rolled in with three coaches, whereas it should have had fifteen. The task of returning from the beach was an ordeal never to be forgotten. Just before 1 o'clock a shot rang out from the end of the wharf, which signaled the fleet was in sight. Through a glass a thin smudge of smoke lay upon the southern horizon. The crowd overran the wharf, creeping under ropes stretched to keep them back. Danger signals were of no avail. The teetering wharf was black with people. The fleet was coming up the coast slowly, in squadron formation. Eighteen ships could be counted. The tender Yankton and the supply ship Culgoa were accompanying the fleet. As the vessels hove into closer view, revealing them in all their beauty and their power, exclamations of wonderment and admiration were made by the thousands who were getting their first view of the fleet which has occupied so much of the world's eye since its departure from Hampton Roads in December. The Connecticut, flagship of Rear Admiral Thomas was closest inshore. The vessels' movements seemed imperceptible, but they gradually grew until men aboard could be distinguished. A signal from the flagship and the vessels of the first division fell behind. The ships were going into single column, the flagship leading. In this manner they passed the Orange county coast line, stretched out a length of three miles, and four miles off shore. As the Connecticut passed abreast the wharf a bomb exploded in honor of the flagship. The voice of the deep-throated siren of the battleship came to the ears of the multitude from across the expanse of waters. There was no cheering, no demonstration, but the crowds stood in silent reverence admiration, but they Last Saturday's ests of the counfor the fruit gr cold gloomy way and towards mo minutes before ther indicated a parts of the town suddenly gleam by Messrs.

The voice of the deep-throated siren of the battleship came to the ears of the multitude from across the expanse of waters. There was no cheering, no demonstration, but the crowds stood in silent, reverent admiration of the ships as they passed. Each in turn sounded its hoarse steam whistle, in recognition of the salute of the thousands of people who lined the shore for miles. At 2:30 the rear vessel disappeared into the distance towards the north. It is estimated that 175,000 people saw the ships from the Orange and Los Angeles coast lines. On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday tens of thousands visited the ships at San Pedro, Long Beach, Redondo and other points. Newly elected members of the board of city trustees were inducted into office on Monday evening. The old board met with Trustees Fiscus, Stock, Kroeger and Darling present. The vote cast at last week's municipal election was canvassed, and certificates of election issued to G. J. Stock and Frank Gates. The new board is composed of Messrs. Rust, Fiscus, Stock, Gates and Kroeger. C. O. Rust was unanimously chosen chairman of the board. Clerk Merritt was instructed to issue certificates of election to Treasurer Boege, Marshal Steadman and City Clerk Merritt. The board of supervisors have instructed the district attorney to draw up an ordinance prohibiting the shipment of shellfish of any kind from Orange county. This action on the part of the supervisors is the result of a petition put in by residents of Bay City and property owners about Anaheim bay where professional cockle shippers have run the supply of cockles down to the point of exhaustion. All kinds of shellfish are to be included in the prohibitive ordinance. Showers fell yesterday morning to the extent of .25 of an inch. Weather continues cloudy and more rain is promised. It comes as a blessing to crops, which are greatly refreshed in consequence. Total rain for season 10.43 inches; last year to date 19 inches. No rain fell last year subsequent to March 17. Early sown grain and beets look very well despite the drought. Uncle Jake Everhardy was in Saturday's throng bound for Newport Beach to see the fleet. Uncle Jake used a pair of crutches to get about, having recently left a sick bed after an illness of several weeks. He made the trip without mishap accompanied by his family, and reports having had a way up time. Leland Lewis piloted an auto party to Newport Beach on Saturday. Leland says he will never be satisfied until he gets aboard the flagship and shakes hands with the admiral. Papa Lewis also caught the fleet fever as he beheld the ship approaching through a pair of glasses. Mr. J. B. Neff has been chosen by the University of California to continue his labors as conductor of formal institutes. Leland Lewis piloted an auto party to Newport Beach on Saturday.

Neff has been chosen by the University of California to continue his labors as conductor of farmers' institutes in Southern California. The ensuing year will be the fourth during which he has been engaged in this work. A. L. Smith, Harold Kordes, Elton Goble, and Harry and Ernest Bowen were at San Pedro on Sunday and went aboard the Connecticut. Mrs. Mosseman and Miss Adele Mosseman were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis this week and on Saturday accompanied them in their auto to Newport Beach to see the fleet pass. Miss Helen Wensel of San Francisco and her sister, Mrs. Joe Gordino, of Salinas have been guests for a few days of their aunt, Mrs. A. Frohling. Guy Meats, George Coleman and Henry Heinrichs, three local ball players departed on Monday for Wisser, Idaho, where they will play with the Northwestern league. Fred C. Hetebrink and Miss Leroy Littleton of Fullerton and L. Annin of Fullerton and Miss Cassie Keller of San Bernardino were married Wednesday last. Mrs. R. F. Perkins of Missoula, Montana, is visiting with Rev. and Mrs. Markle this week. She is a member of the Christian church at Chanute, Kansas, where Mr. Markle was pastor for five years. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Strodthoff are here from Douglas A. T. visting with relatives and friends. Frank Perry was in the crowd at Long Beach on Sunday and succeeded in getting aboard the New Jersey. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 21, 1883 Last Saturday morning was a critical one for the fruit interests of the county. The night of the 13th was an anxious one for the fruit grower, for the sun had set the previous day in a cold gloomy way which portended evil. The atmosphere was chilly and towards morning the temperature decreased. Just a few minutes before the sun arose from behind the hills the thermometer indicated a temperature of from 34 to 38 degrees in various parts of the town and the anxious watchers could see the frost suddenly gleam on tree and vine, at that instant fires were lighted by Messrs. Lorenz, Boege, Werder and others and by the time the sun's rays fell upon the earth a thick cloud of smoke mantled the vineyards and prevented all damage. It is the heat of the sun on the frost-covered leaves that causes the latter to shrivel and blacken, and it is the object of the smoke to raise the temperature and at the same time prevent the sun’s heat from striking the vines too suddenly. This smoking process is undoubtedly very efficacious and none are more earnest in its praise than those who practice it. The use of coal tar alone in pans is condemned because when lighted it gives out more flame than smoke, but when used in connection with dampened straw or weeds, the result is a heavy, dense smoke which does what is required of it. Very little damage was done to Anaheim vineyards. In some not a vine was touched, in others from five to twenty vines were affected. The only considerable damage was to Mr. Hartung’s vineyard and to Mr. Konig’s young vineyard. The latter will lose the crop from an acre of young zinfandel vines. The question whether mission or foreign vines can resist frost the best is still a mooted one. In some places the reverse was the case, so “that honors are even” between the native an dthe foreigner. It is reported that in the neighborhood of Downey and Artesia some of the fruit trees were nipped, but in this vicinity the frost was not severe enough to damage the trees. In 1868 or thereabout there was quite a severe frost in May, but such a late cold spell is so exceptional that it is thought there is no further danger to the vines from this source. The frost was very severe in the northern part of the state and the fruit crops were badly damaged. LEGAL NOTICE NO. F 75 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE WHEREAS, GERMAIN J. LAPLACE and ELSIE LAPLACE, husband and wife, by deed of trust dated the 9th day of May, 1930, recorded May 20, 1930, in Book 37a, Page 401, Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Orange County, California, did grant and convey the premises therein and as hereinafter described to the BANK OF ITALY NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, now BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST AND SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as Trustee, to secure among other things the payment of one certain promissory note and interest thereon according to the terms thereof, executed by Germain J. LaPlace and Elsie LaPlace, named in said deed of trust, and made payable to George A. Koontz and Bessie Koontz, husband and wife, as joint tenants, named in said deed of trust, WHEREAS, default has been made in the payment of said promissory note, in that the interest in the amount of $20.00 due, Aug. 9, 1932, and $30.00 due Nov. 9, 1932, and taxes for 1931-32 and 1st installment taxes for 1932-33 were not paid when due nor has any part thereof been paid and all now remains due and unpaid. WHEREAS, in accordance with the terms of Section 2924 of the Civil Code of the State of California, the said George A. Koontz and Bessie Koontz being then the legal owners and holders of said note and deed of trust on January 5, 1933, caused to be recorded in the office of the County Recorder of Orange County, California, a notice of such default and of their election to cause the property described in said deed of trust to be sold in accordance with the provisions contained in said deed of trust to satisfy the obligation created by said note, which notice of default and election to sell was duly recorded in Book 596, Page 153, Official Records, in the office of the County Recorder of Orange County, California; and, WHEREAS, the said George A. Koontz and Bessie Koontz The newly elected board of directors of the Anaheim Water company organized on last Saturday by re-electing the former officers viz: B. Dreyfus, president; F. Hartung, vice-president; J. P. Zeyn, treasurer; Richard Melrose, secretary. One hundred and sixty-eight shares of stock were sold, and a number of applications are on file and will be acted upon today. Sherman's big circus will be here on Monday evening the 30th instant. Among its many attractions are Sherman's educated horses, a vast aggregation of talented riders, excellent trapeze performers, tumblers, contortionists etc. Also Prof. Tyler and his troupe of eleven trained dogs said to be the finest performing dogs in the world. When Sherman's circus was here about two years ago, his tent was crowded, and gave the best satisfaction of any show that has ever appeared here. Some of the vineyards on the west border of town were damaged somewhat during last Wednesday's terrific west wind by tumble weeds which rolled in from the plains. As they rolled along the vineyards they broke off the young and tender shoots of the vines which at this season of the year are very brittle. The storm was a new wrinkle in the climatic experience of this county, and the oldest inhabitants can not remember a west wind of such velocity and sand-raising power. But, really these disagreeable days should serve to remind us of how nearly perfect is the climate we live in. Mr. Dobner, of the Cash store was a victim of misplaced confidence on Tuesday. The store being crowded he asked an acquaintance to "keep an eye" on things generally. Later Mr. Dobner missed a bolt of cloth worth about $25, but thought it had been taken by some of the men he had requested his acquaintance to watch. Great was his astonishment, therefore, at receiving the missing bolt of cloth from a relative of his quondam assistant, who insisted upon the return of the goods when he found that they had been stolen. The Anaheim Minstrel Troupe give their next performance on the 28th instant. The members are gaining in proficiency and notwithstanding the exceptional merit of their first performance, there is no question that the coming one will be even more entertaining. It is no flattery to say that they gave a better performance of the kind than any traveling troupe which ever played here. Mr. C. H. Nickerson, who about ten years ago was a partner of Mr. G. G. Greeley in his Anaheim farm, has returned here and the office of the County Recorder of Orange County, California, a notice of such default and of their election to cause the property described in said deed of trust to be sold in accordance with the provisions contained in said deed of trust to satisfy the obligation created by said note, which notice of default and election to sell was duly recorded in Book 596, Page 153, Official Records, in the office of the County Recorder of Orange County, California; and, WHEREAS, the said George A. Koontz and Bessie Koontz by reason of default as aforesaid have elected and declared that the sums unpaid and secured by said deed of trust be immediately due and payable and have demanded that the Trustee shall sell the premises granted by the said deed of trust to accomplish the objects of the trust therein created.

Greeley in his Anaheim farm, has returned here and purchased, through Mr. Hanna, ten acres of the Guinn tract near the railroad depot. Mr. Nickerson intends to make his home here and improve his purchase. A pavilion and bath houses to cost $20,000, more or less, are to be built on the beach at Wilmore city this summer. The city, it should be remembered is situated somewhere on the coast between Anaheim Landing and Wilmington. On Thursday night a refreshing shower of rain fell. Mr. Langenberger's gauge recording thirteen-hundredths of an inch. Yesterday was a blustering, disagreeable day, with just a suggestion of cold. Tomas Dominguez, whom Col. Sanford detected stealing his horses was found to be insane and has been sent to the asylum. Grief at the death of his daughter is said to be the cause of his insanity. The railroad company have fixed the rate on oranges, in carload lots to points on and east of the Missouri river, at $300, a reduction of $50 per car. The rate is still too high to make shipments profitable. The shipments from the depot during the week were 4 carloads of wine, 336 boxes of oranges, 1 carload hay; 2 carload wool, and miscellaneous freight which brought the total exports to 225,097 pounds. The exports for March amounted to 878,406 pounds and the imports to 599,862 pounds. Deputy Sheriff Adolph Celis was killed near San Fernando on Wednesday when he accidentally discharged his rifle, the ball entering his breast causing instant death. He was with Deputy Sheriffs Gard and Altimarano. They were out after horse thieves. TERMS OF SALE: Cash, lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Dated: April 6, 1933.
