IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarterly Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 4, 1908 Decoration day was observed in time-honored custom at the cemetery. The day was a legal holiday and many of the business places in town were closed during the day. A large crowd of people assembled at the cemetery early and awaited the coming of the veterans and ladies of the W. R. C. At 9:45 the assembly call was sounded, and Rev. J. J. White delivered the invocation. School children fell in line, each carrying a bouquet and following the veterans, placed flowers upon the graves of departed heroes. Company E acted as escort to the old soldiers and the city band, under the leadership of Walter Crowther discoursed martial music. Prof. Brunton, principal of the Fullerton high school read Lincoln's Gettysberg address. Rev. Bailey of the Fullerton Christian church delivered the address. J. D. Banker, manager of the Association packing house, this week finished shipping the season's orange crop with the exception of valencias which will be forwarded to market later. He has shipped 60 cars and expects to forward 5 of valencias. Mr. Banker has been a shipper of oranges from southern California points since 1889. In that year he shipped from Redlands when the entire output of that section was 27 cars. Now the Redlands crop amounts to probably 5000 cars. The contested election case of J. Hahn versus F. S.

Next Monday, June 8, there will be an all day meeting of the Los Angeles Presbyterial at the local Presbyterian church. Twenty-five years ago the Presbyterial was organized by the ladies of Anaheim Presbyterian church. The twenty-fifth anniversary was celebrated at Pasadena in March and was largely attended, but to fully celebrate this anniversary it has been decided to have an all day meeting in the church when the Presbyterial was organized. Mrs. Fulton, formerly Amy Saxton of this city, but now a missionary of Japan will be with us on that day. Miss Nemetz, a young society lady of this city, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. Nemetz, was married in Los Angeles on Monday to Harley Pyne, a well known young business man of that city. The bride is a vivacious young lady, of handsome face and figure and has many friends hereabout who extend felicitations upon the happy event. The newly wedded couple will reside in Los Angeles. A class of boys and girls were confirmed Sunday at the German Lutheran church on Chartress street. The church was beautifully decorated with palms, roses and Easter lilies.

An all-day current was placed in service by city power house on Monday, and electric light may now be turned on at any hour of the day or night. Judge Victor Montgomery and family drove over from Santa Ana in their auto on Saturday afternoon and placed decorations upon graves of loved ones in the cemetery. The Sunday Lid Ordinance is published in another column of this issue and makes interesting reading. By its provisions saloons will be closed on Sundays beginning next Sabbath. Miss Roma Tedford celebrated her second birthday on Friday afternoon at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. N. B. Tedford, in Claudina street. A dozen little friends of the prize baby were present to assist in celebrating the happy event. Cal Wood was in town from Los Angeles on Sunday and was in charge of Jos. Helmsen’s store while the latter was viewing the sights along the balloon route. Rev. Frederic Augustus Juny, for several years rector of the Episcopal church in Mound City, Illinois, will enter upon the charge of St. Michael’s church on the first Sunday in July. E. Huenemeyer has sold his restaurant to Mrs. Berringer, who will conduct the place as a first class eating house. Fletcher Susmil has accepted a position at the city power plant, which is now in operation 24 hours a day. Men work in three shifts of 8 hours each. Rev.

The two hundred and twenty acre tract of land lying southeast of town, owned by John Hanna for a number of years, has been sold by him to Messrs. Thomas Bennet and L. A. Kelley of San Francisco and J. E. McCreery of Philadelphia, the two first named taking six-elevenths of the tract and the latter five-elevenths. The price paid was $18,700. We understand that it is the intention of the purchasers to set out the entire tract in vines, apricots, pears and prunes and have the place managed by a superintendent for the first year or two, after which a number of families will settle down upon the tract. The scheme is entirely practicable, and with judicious management it can hardly fail of success. The soil is excellent, naturally moist, and requires winter irrigation only. It is convenient to town and when the vines shall blossom and the trees yield fruit there will be few places in the state more attractive. There are other tracts in this vicinity which could be worked upon the same plan and we hope this initiative move will be the means of stimulating others to go and do likewise. The Presbytery of Los Angeles will meet in the Presbyterian church on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock for the purpose among other things of acting upon the call of this church to the Rev. F. H. Robinson to become the regular pastor. It is expected that the service of installation will take place in the evening at 7:45. Rev. J. H. Clark, of Santa Ana, J. W. Ellis of Los Angeles and L. P. Crawford of Pasadena, with others will take part in this service. Prof. Packard will conduct the music. All are invited to be present. To C. W. Moores, school census marshal of Anaheim school district we are indebted for the following extracts from his reports: Number of boys between 5 and 17, 169; number of girls, same ages, 144; Total under 17, 119. Number at TODAY AND TOMORROW By Frank Parker Stockbridge MOSQUITOES ... under kn The first real use ever found for mosquitoes was when it was discovered a few years ago at the Government hospital for the insane at Washington it out and that the human mind could be cured if the patient had malaria. Malaria germs are carried on by certain mosquitoes, and insanity all over the country began demand mosquitoes which had been affected by biting malaria patients. Now the Government scientists have found a way to operate on the mosquito, under a microscope, and extract the malaria virus, so they don't have ship live mosquitoes, which sometimes got away and spread malarial fever. The marvelous thing about all this as I see it, is not that malaria curparesis, but that anybody ever found that certain common forms of insanity been ingenious enough to find a way of operating on a mosquito. USHER ... at White House My congratulations of "Ike" Hoover Chief usher of the White House, who just finished his forty-second year of service there. His real name is Irvine H. Hoover, and when Benjamin Harrison was President he was a young electrician. Mr. Harrison had the first electric push-buttons installed in the White House. Young Hoover did the job. They got out of order so often that the President thought there ought to be an electrician on the job all time. He picked "Ike" and Hoover had been there since. "Ike" is responsible for all the historic relics in the President Mansfield for the management of the domestical staff and the supervision of all forms." among other things of acting upon the call of this church to the Rev.

Moores, school census marshal of Anaheim school district we are indebted for the following extracts from his reports: Number of boys between 5 and 17, 169; number of girls, same ages, 144; Total 313. Total under 17, 119. Number attending public school, 229. Eight have attended private school and 76 have not attended school. There is one Mongolian. There were 14 boys born during the year and 16 girls. The progress made by Anaheim and its envirous during the past two years has been most substantial, and to those whom faith or sagacity induced them to "hang on" to their property the result has been more than gratifying. Two years ago first class land could have been bought for fifty dollars an acre, and now there are very few tracts which can be bought for double that price. Another year will witness a still further advance in values, for the demand for land continues brisk, despite the dry season. Prof. Appin, who was reported to have suicided by drowning, is in San Diego. Being a little drunken than usual he divested himself of his clothing on the beach near Wilmington, intending to take a bath, but instead wandered about the country until he was nearly frozen and sober. We have been requested to call a meeting of citizens for tonight at Kroeger's hall for the purpose of appointing committees for a Fourth of July celebration. The success of the celebration last year should inspire our people to fresh exertions. All who can should attend the meeting tonight at 8 o'clock sharp. A millinery store and fixtures, and a stock of millinery is offered for sale cheap. It is a good opportunity for a milliner to step at once into a paying business. There is none of the craft doing business in Anaheim now and one is needed badly. 'A few days ago while filling catridges W. S. Ward picked up a shell which was partially filled with what he supposed was powder. As he picked it with his knife it exploded lacerating his hand in a painful way. The shell was filled with nitro-glycerine. A gentleman who came here some months ago intending to invest in real estate, thought he would go to Illinois first. A cyclone greeted him the day after his arrival there. As soon as he can collect his personal effects which are scattered through the adjacent townships, he will return to Anaheim. Articles of incorporation of the New River Ditch company, to operate in the New River district in this county have been filed with the county clerk. The company claims 800 miners' inches of water, and the directors are J. E. Strong, T. D. Sackett, T. S. Damson, Jos. T. Elliott and E. W. Dulley. An election for school trustee and for school district assessor and collector will be held this afternoon.

Mr. Theo Rimpau is a candidate for trustee and R. Melrose is a candidate for assessor and collector. On last Sunday evening Ah Loi, the cook of Mrs. Kenyon Cox was "stood up" by two fellow celestials, and while one held him the other took from his pockets one hundred dollars. He recognized his assailants and they were arrested by Constable Bohn and had an examination before Justice Bailey. The victim was the only witness for the prosecution, but the defense had a score of Chinamen to establish an alibi, hence the defendants were discharged. There will be no performance of the Anaheim Minstrel Troupe this evening, as two of the performers have had to absent themselves from the town temporarily, rendering a postponement necessary. As an indication that business is increasing with Mr. Hippolyte Cahen, we note that the safe in which he has kept his money has been shipped away and a larger one procured. While engaged in cleaning a tank last week Walter Symann fell from the frame to the ground, a distance of twelve feet, and dislocated his wrist. He is progressing favorably. It is reported that there are only about two thousand inches of water in the Santa Ana river at Bedrock crossing. The fluid will be quite too utterly precious for the next three months. The rainfall for the month of May was one and eleven-sixteenth inches. For the season six and three-sixteenth iinches. For the season of 1882 the fall was seven and one-half inches. The home place of George B. Shaffer, on Los Angeles street has been purchased by S. B. Smith, who is already engaged in making extensive improvements and additions, TODAY AND TOMORROW Bark Parker Stockbridge TES ... under knife A real use ever found for was when it was discover-cears ago at the Government or the insane at Washington, that the human mind has cared if the patient had malaria germs are carried only by mosquitoes, and insane over the country began to mosquitoes which had been in-putting, malaria patients.

Young Hoover did the got out of order so often resident thought there ought electrician on the job all the kicked "Ike" and Hoover has since responsible for all the history in the President Mansion, management of the domestic supervision of all formal TAXES ... many unfair The State of New York has abolished all personal property taxes. That is a step in the right direction. Rhode Island was the first to do away with this unfair tax. I call it unfair because it presses on the poor more than on the rich. The tax assessor can count the farmer's cattle and hogs, his horses and his machinery, but what the rich man has in his safe deposit box in stocks and bonds is out of sight and he can—and does—lie about it. Revision of all our old tax methods is in the air. I think it is a mistake for a state to impose a retail sales tax, as so many have done lately. I believe in the sales tax, because it bears equally on everyone according to how much he spends; but I think it ought to be a Federal and not a state tax. INFLATION ... how it will help An inquiring friend writes to ask me how it will benefit the country to have the Federal Reserve banks issue three billion dollars of new money to take up Government bonds. The answer is that these bonds are now held by banks which are handicapped by having so much of their deposits tied up in these "frozen assets." If the banks can turn them over for new cash, they can use the new money to lend for productive enterprises. And there is just as much behind-the-new currency as behind the bonds—that is, the Government's credit. "...have faith in America" -LINCOLN "... have faith in America" LINCOLN This nation’s conquering spirit, awakened by a courageous leader, again justifies the faith which Lincoln had in the American people. America is today not merely looking forward—it is actually GOING FORWARD, with absolute faith in its economic future. “Bank today on tomorrow!” BANK of AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST & SAVINGS ASSOCIATION If Advertising Will Draw Tourists, It Certainly Will DRAW TRADE The advertising campaigns of the All-Year club of Southern California, placed in selected publications every year, have been extremely successful in making this section known as a recreation and vacation center, as well as warning more The advertising campaigns of the All-Year club of Southern California, placed in selected publications every year, have been extremely successful in making this section known as a recreation and vacation center as well as warning unemployed against migrating here in search of work. Now New England has taken a leaf from California's book and announces that a newspaper advertising campaign last year proved more successful in attracting visitors than any other form of publicity. So effective was it that the New Englanders plan a greater newspaper campaign for the present year. If newspaper advertising has proved its supremacy in these lines, where considerable expenditure is called for on the part of tourists, why not even more effective for the general advertiser, who has something to sell to the people of his own city? Many a business, running much short of capacity, may be failing just here. It's worth thinking over, anyway.
