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 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 7, 1908 The insolent attitude of the corporation millionaires in the senate towards the reforms advocated by President Roosevelt will arouse public sentiment all the more in support of the President's policies. What the country at large needs is a national Lincoln-Roosevelt republican league and another congress like this one ought to produce some such a result. Orange county, wonderfully productive in the things that grow in the earth, is making a state record along another line. A recent bulletin of the state board of health shows that Orange county is the seventh in the state for the number of marriages recorded. In 1906 it was in the ninth place. By its record for 1907 the county climbed above Fresno and San Diego counties. In 1906 Orange county recorded 524 marriages and in 1907 it recorded 638, a gain of 21.8 per cent. A very large per cent of the marriages was of parties from Los Angeles who came down on the electric line. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Everhardy were quite seriously ill some days ago with symptoms of ptomaine poisoning, but are convalescing. Illness followed their trip to Newport Beach two weeks ago, when they witnessed the passing of the battleship fleet. They took their lunch and partook of ice-cream which it is thought was the cause of their illness. Mrs. J. S. Howard was the guest of honor at a surprise dinner tendered her by her husband and a company of friends at Huene-meyer's cafe on Sunday. The occasion was in honor of her birthday. A sumptuous repast was served upon a long dining table in the center of the dining room, artistically decorated with flowers and evergreens. The dinner was enjoyed by all, and Mrs. Howard was the recipient of many felicitations upon her attaining another milestone on her journey through life, as well as wishes for many happy returns of the day. Misses Sophie and Marie Rimpau entertained a number of their friends at a Hearts party on Saturday afternoon in honor Mrs. J. S.

A sumptuous repast was served upon a long dining table in the center of the dining room, artistically decorated with flowers and evergreens. The dinner was enjoyed by all, and Mrs. Howard was the recipient of many felicitations upon her attaining another milestone on her journey through life, as well as wishes for many happy returns of the day. Misses Sophie and Marie Rimpau entertained a number of their friends at a Hearts party on Saturday afternoon in honor of their guest Mrs. Constance Hooper of New York City who has been spending the winter in California, and leaves this week for her eastern home. Handsome prizes of hand-painted china were contested for at the game of Hearts, the fortunate winner of the first prize being Miss Winifred Melrose, of the second, Miss Klein and of the consolation, Mrs. Konig. A delicious collation was served in the dining room. The table was beautifully decorated in crimson roses. The place cards painted in water-colors by the hostesses were dainty works of art. During the afternoon a short musical program was enjoyed. Mrs. Konig, Miss Theresa Fay and little Miss Constance Rimpau giving vocal selections and Misses Sophie and Marie Rimpau, a piano duet. Those present were Miss Sophie Rimpau, Miss Marie Rimpau, Mrs. Constance Hooper of New York, Mrs. Shanley, Mrs. Konig, Mrs. Weisel, Mrs. Fred Backs, Jr., Mrs. Arthur Lewis, Mrs. H. A. Johnston, Mrs. Asher, Mrs. Hatzfeld, Mrs. H. Stern, Mrs. J. J. Dwyer, Mrs. Julius Schneider, Mrs. Grim, Mrs. F. C. Rimpau, Mrs. Deitrich, Mrs. A.

Gelderman has purchased the City Meat Market from Chris Gelderman and will in future conduct the same. Mr. Gelderman understands the meat business thoroughly and patrons will be served with the best meats on the market. Dr. Will Flood, C.F.Grim and H.Weisel of this city and M.A.Flood of Santa Ana had a bad accident while returning from Trabuca canyon on Sunday. The party was at the Forks, trout fishing, when it commenced to rain. They concluded then to start for home and after passing safely the dangerous points in the mountain road they reached Santa Ana, when their machine turned completely over and threw them out. All the occupants escaped injury. M.A.Flood had perhaps the most miraculous escape of all. When the other members of the party picked themselves up they found him under the machine in a kneeling position, and unable to move, with the machine apparently on his back. His shoulders and head were near the engine, which was still running and he could not move in any direction. The machine was lifted and Mr.Flood released. The party were drenched from their long ride in the rain and although thankful that they had escaped serious injury were not pleased with the way in which the trip terminated. Howard Gates who is soldiering with Uncle Sam’s troops in the Philippines has sent an illustrated postal card to Oscar Heying. The card bears a picture of the transport Thomas in Manila bay.

Hill was in town on Saturday and said that despite the season's limited rainfall, the grain and hay crops will be larger than was generally supposed. While in town Mr. Hill went to a dentist's and parted with an aching molar which had kept him awake the two preceding nights. F. W. Fleischman was in town the first of the week from his wholesale stockyards northwest of town. He has just purchased 208 head of fine beef cattle from Fred Bixby and is now slaughtering them for the market. Miss Lily Bayha and Carl Harris of Arlington came down on the latter's motorcycle Saturday. They spent the week-end in town with friends, guests of Miss Stella Schwentker. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lott of Oakland arrived Sunday for a fortnight's visit with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adams. Mrs. Lott is a sister of Mrs. Adams. Hugh R. Semple of Toronto, Canada, a nephew of J. B. Rae, arrived on Saturday and will remain for a several weeks visit. H. H. Gardner & Co. will move their wood, coal and ice establishment into the premises now occupied by B. V. Beebe, across the street in the Ruhman building, when Mr. Beebe moves his carriage and implement stock into his new quarters in the Kraemer building on East Center street about the first of June. O. V. Knowlton was in town from Fullerton on Saturday talking a little politics and arranging for the coming exercises on Decoration day. C. G. Billings leaves this evening for Langdon, North Dakota, on a month's business trip. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 5, 1883 The Board of Town Trustees met on Wednesday afternoon. The returns of the election held last Monday were read, but before being announced the following protest was read: The undersigned hereby represents that he has been duly elected as Treasurer of the Town of Anaheim at the election held on April 20, 1883, and asks that the certificate of election be given to him for the following reasons: His opponent Mr. Plez James, being ineligible for the office, he not having been a resident of this state for one year preceding the date of election. See Political code, section 1983, and also see Political code, section 58: "Every elector is eligible to the office for which he is an elector. And no person is eligible who is not such an elector." Therefore for the reasons above set forth and stated he protests against the certificate being granted to Mr. Plez James, and as before stated asks that the certificate be granted the undersigned, Respectfully, A. W. Steinhart. The question of the power of the board to go behind the returns was argued by the contestant in person and by Town Attorney Lynill, who quoted law to show that the board had no such power. Thereupon the board ordered the clerk to issue certificates of election to Mr. James and the other gentlemen who had been elected to the various other offices. After accepting the resignation of the Town Attorney the board adjourned. Their successors will meet on next Monday at 3 o'clock P.M. and organize. Mr. James has resigned as treasurer and the board will on Monday appoint his successor, which under the Town charter they have the power to do. One hundred and twenty-three votes were cast at the town election on Monday with the following result: Trustees, J. P. Zeyn 92; E. A. Saxton, 86; Frank Ey, 72; W. Konig, 114; F. Backs, 74; P. Davis, 49; H. Kroeger, 52. The first five were elected. For assessor E. Rimpau received 104 votes and was elected. Mr. C. H. Zeyn was nominated but declined to be a candidate, however he received-13 votes. For clerk, E. H. Nedhold, 114 votes. For marshal, E. A. Pullen, 60; R. Bohn, 56. For treasurer, Plez James, 108; A. W. Steinhart, 12. For justice of the peace Alexander Baily, 113 votes. TODAY AND TOMORROW By Frank Parker Stockbridge DIRIGIBLES Important I hope the fate of the airship Akron will not throw Congress into such a panic that it will refuse to appropriate funds for further development of lighter-than-air craft. I have long believed that the dirigible is a far more valuable military arm than the airplane. We don't stop building airplanes because scores of brave young officers are killed every year when military planes crash. The safety of the nation is more important than a few lives. The time will come when the airship will be perfected to the point where it will be the principal means of passenger transportation all over the world. Of that I am firmly convinced. But no private concern can spend the money necessary to the perfection of the dirigible. It must be done by Governments, and the expenditure justified by the airship's value as a means of national defense. ARMY too expensive A high officer of the Army has had the courage to tell the world that the Army costs too much. Major General Johnson Hagood, commanding the Eighth Corps Area, says: "It takes three hundred million dollars a year to run the Army under its present organization. We can get a better organization for less." That is a slap in the face for the bureaucrats who have piled up fat office jobs in Washington for Army officers who ought to be out in the field or working at something else. There is nothing the United States needs less than it needs an expensive Army. General Hagood admits that he has twice as many staff officers and clerks as he needs, but he can't get rid of them under the present set-up. James has resigned as treasurer and the board will on Monday appoint his successor, which under the Town charter they have the power to do. One hundred and twenty-three votes were cast at the town election on Monday with the following result: Trustees, J. P. Zeyn 92; E. A. Saxton, 86; Frank Ey, 72; W. Konig, 114; F. Backs, 74; P. Davis, 49; H. Kroeger, 52. The first five were elected. For assessor E. Rimpau received 104 votes and was elected. Mr. C. H. Zeyn was nominated but declined to be a candidate, however he received-13 votes. For clerk, E. H. Nedhold, 114 votes. For marshal, E. A. Pullen, 60; R. Bohn, 56. For treasurer, Plez James, 108; A. W. Steinhart, 12. For justice of the peace Alexander Baily, 113 votes. The new residence of A. Guy Smith at Tustin has been finished and his family has taken possession. Mr. Smith has been for many years one of the leading business men of Anaheim but lately determined to give up the cares of business for horticultural pursuits. His orange grove at Tustin is one of the finest in the valley, and we may add that he is one of the few who are not complaining of the low price of oranges this season, the fruit from his orchard selling right along for $3.50, $4.00 and $4.50 per box. He takes great care in producing fine fruit and never packs an inferior orange. Defective fruit is thrown away rather than sent to market. When this plan is adopted by all orchardists there will be less complaint about low prices. A letter signed by T. A. Darling, H. C. Gade, N. H. Mitchell, S. S. Federman, F. Backs, J. W. Landell, Hippolyte Cahen, F. W. Tyler and many others asking the Anaheim Minstrel Troupe to repeat their performance of Saturday night and pledging their personal presence and hearty support otherwise was received by the troupe who have been thereby induced to reconsider their determination that Saturday's performance was to be the finale one. They thank all their friends for the kindness shown them and beg to say that they will give another performance about the 20th of May at Kroeger's hall. Five hundred and eighty-one deeds were recorded in the office of the County Recorder during the month of April, the total amount of consideration being $1,098,833. In the same month 127 mortgages were recorded, the total amount being $178,822.58. The following terse complimentary notice is from the Downey Signal: "Postmaster P. P. Livermore, alias John Farley, had the 'jim-jams' on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. He has recovered and we hope a permanent cure has been affected. Mr. Henderson of the clothing house of Figel & Co. of San Francisco, passed a few days in Anaheim this week as the guest of his friend, Mr. Fromhein. The result is that he returns to the metropolis with a firm resolve to follow his friends example and leave it for a rural home in this neighborhood. Mr. Lynch, of the Los Angeles Herald made an altogether too hurried visit to Anaheim on Thursday. Under the chaperonage of Mr. Dreyfus he was shown the vineyards of Anaheim—and some of the cellars. We hope his visit was so pleasant that he will come again and stay longer. It is said that Madame Modjeska, the celebrated actress will return to Anaheim... Mr. Lynch, of the Los Angeles Herald made an altogether too hurried visit to Anaheim on Thursday. Under the chaperonage of Mr. Dreyfus he was shown the vineyards of Anaheim—and some of the cellars. We hope his visit was so pleasant that he will come again and stay longer. It is said that Madame Modjeska, the celebrated actress will return to Anaheim the coming summer for a short visit. She will be welcomed. We are all proud of her. Among other improvements she will find her old chicken ranch transformed into an orange orchard. The water in the river has fallen considerably during the past few days. The division box for giving to each side of the river one-half of the water in the river will be brought into requisition today. Over five hundred people participated in the picnic at Santiago Canyon on May Day. Among the incidents of the day was the killing of a large rattlesnake on the picnic grounds. There was an election in Los Angeles on Thursday on the question of issuing $100,000 in municipal bonds to purchase a lot and build a city hall. Only 791 votes were polled, although there are 3,685 registered voters in the city. The proposal to issue bonds was defeated by a majority of 125. R. M. Barham is now night clerk at the Pico House in Los Angeles. Anaheimers now have an additional reason for patronizing that popular hostelry when they visit the county seat. Rev. J. A. Emery has gone to San Francisco to attend the Episcopal convention, therefore there will be no service at St. Michael's church tomorrow. Mr. John Hanna reports the sale of the Santa Ana Valley Bank's house at Anaheim Landing to B. Dreyfus for $200. The case of the Anaheim Water company vs. the Cajon Irrigation company has been set for trial in the Superior Court on June 4th. Mrs. Owen, however, will reflect glory upon her new job, and will carry herself in a way to reflect credit upon the women of America, thus honored by this first selection of one of their sex to a high diplomatic post. Nobody can know Mrs. Owen without admiring and liking her. POLICEMAN still going up Nearly forty years ago, Theodore Roosevelt, then Police Commissioner of New York, advertised for bright young men of good character to become policemen. Among those who responded was an upstanding young man named Edward P. Mulrooney. Mulrooney "pounded the pavement" and learned all about the business of policing the world's largest city. He never took a drink, never gambled, never dissipated in any way and never took a dollar or a favor for doing his duty—or for not doing it, for that matter. He rose through all the grades to Inspector, and then was appointed to the post which Theodore Roosevelt once held, Police Commissioner of New York. Now, my friend Ed Mulrooney has been asked by the Governor of New York to be the head of the State Beer Commission. The great danger in the legalization of beer and the probable repeal of prohibition is that the liquor business may again become the tool of crooked politicians and the handmaiden of crime. With Ed Mulrooney in charge the crooks and grafters won't have a Chinamen's chance to get in their dirty work. Forest Supervisor Retires On March 1 After 30 years of active service, William G. Durbin, forest supervisor of the Lassen National forest, with headquarters at Susanville, Calif., retired from the forest service on March 1 under the provisions of the new 62-year retirement act for field officials. 33,000 Men In Civilian Conservation Corps To Build Up State’s Forests 57 Camps Will Be Established in Southern California, 166 in California; All Will Operate On Basis of 200 Men, Who Will Receive Preliminary “Hardening” for Job at Army Posts Civilian conservation corps camps will soon be in operation in the national forests of California, according to report of the United States forest service headquarters in San Francisco. President Roosevelt on April 20 approved the establishment of 166 camps in the 19 national forests of the State, distributed as follows: Southern California: Angeles, 17; Cleveland, 9; San Bernardino, 16; Santa Barbara, 15; total 57! Central California: Sequoia, 9; Sierra, 9; Stanislaus, 9; Eldorado, 6; total 33. Northern California: Tahoe, 9; Plumas, 11; Lassen, 9; Modoc, 6; Shasta, 11; Klamath, 7; Trinity, 8; Mendocino, 8; total 69. East side of Sierra Nevada: Inyo, 3; Mono, 3; total 6. One additional camp will be located in the California section of the Siskiyou National Forest of Oregon. Regional Forester S. B. Snow, chief of the California region, U. S. forest service, will be in charge of the conservation corps activities in the national forests and will also coordinate all state, county and private C. C. C. projects in California. Mr. Snow, who is now in Washington conferring with Robert Fechner, director of emergency conservation work, and Major R. Y. Stuart, chief of the U. S. forest service, is expected back shortly to direct the federal forestry activities. C. B. Morse, assistant regional forester of the U. S. forest service at Ogden, Utah, will be stationed at the Presidio of San Francisco to act as liaison officer, in coordinating the work of the forest service and army throughout the ninth corps area, comprising the states of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. California's national forest quota for the C. C. C. camps will be 33,000 men who will first be concentrated in army posts where they will be clothed, fed and exercised for a period prior to their transfer to field camps. Thus far instructions are to enroll only unmarried men between the ages of 18 and 25. G. O. P. Postal Men Keep Jobs Postmaster J. H. Whitaker of Anaheim Expected to Remain In Office Till 1935 Orange county's republican postmasters whose "loyal and efficient service to the government" remains unquestioned will stay in their positions until their appointments expire, according to word received here from Postmaster General James Farley. A list of infractions of rules by republican postmasters has been dug up from the basement of the filing section in Washington and will be used as a weapon to displace postmasters "who have not been efficient," reports indicate. Those who's good behavior and efficient service entitle them to remain until their appointments expire, include Anaheim's J. H. Whitaker, January, 1935; Santa Ana's Terry Stephenson, 1935; Laguna Beach's Brayton Norton, December, 1933; Huntington Beach's W. J. Clapp, May, 1933. Democratic successors must secure appointments through Senator McAdoo. Bank of America keeps its "eggs" in many baskets FROM THE OREGON LINE Diversity of resources — (either with individuals or financial institutions) provides the greatest IN many baskets FROM THE OREGON LINE Diversity of resources — (either with individuals or financial institutions) provides the greatest measure of strength and safety. The assets of Bank of America are more widely distributed and more diversified in character than those of any other bank in the West. Each one of the 410 branches of Bank of America in 243 cities of California is protected by all of the statewide resources of this great institution—from the Oregon line to the Mexican border.
