Dwyer, visits to the Pioneer house and an afternoon, of reunions of friendships of a quarter of a century or more standing, the annual Old Timers’ picnic held at the city park Saturday afternoon goes down in local annals as one of the most successful events of its kind. The picnic is sponsored by the Mother Colony chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs. Stephen Gallagher, regent, extended the official welcoming, while Master of Ceremonies L. A. (Fayette) Lewis called upon many present to tell stories about the “good old days.” Two Old Timers received special honors.

BUILDING CODE CHANGES MADE TO AID FARMS Supervisors Decide to Push Plans For Zoning to Make Code Enforceable Five changes in Orange county’s building code grew out of the heated discussion Tuesday when the county board of supervisors took up consideration of the proposed zoning and the county building ordinances. Chairman Willard Smith of the supervisors voiced the opinion that the Supervisors Decide to Push Plans For Zoning to Make Code Enforceable Five changes in Orange county's building code grew out of the heated discussion Tuesday when the county board of supervisors took up consideration of the proposed zoning and the county building ordinances. Chairman Willard Smith of the supervisors voiced the opinion that the stringent building code of the county, in advance of zoning, was "getting hold of the skillet at the wrong end." He lauded Santa Ana's Jules Markel for the work he had done on the building commission ordinance. He believed that since the first rush of reconstruction after the earthquake, that the ordinance should be set aside until such time as zoning can be completed, when the building code again will be enforceable. He declared that enforcing the ordinance now is "impossible." An amendment to the building code, to meet objections of the farm bureau against applying the code to general farm areas to require permits only where structures were to cost $500 or more, was recommended. It contains the following territory: 1—More than one-fourth mile from boundaries of incorporated cities. 2—More than 100 feet from rights of way of any major or secondary state or county highway. 3—Buildings not situated within any recorded subdivision. 4—Not situated on a parcel of land less than one acre in extent. 5—Not situated within one mile of the ordinary high tide line of the Pacific ocean. Because of the bureau plan, which also aired the Southern California Edison company complaint that inspections were delaying installations, it was decided to hire a temporary assistant inspector. Also, the board ordered the planning commission to prepare and file by Monday a report estimating the cost of hiring a zoning engineer to prepare a zoning plan. President Al Foster of the Orange County Builders exchange criticized the code as too stringent. In his remarks he indicated the exchange had not been consulted when the ordinance was drawn. To this Markel replied that Foster was "all out of line" because a committee from that group had worked with the building commission in arriving at a satisfactory ordinance. Chamber Wires To Hurry Plans Senator William Gibbs McAdoo was Mrs. Henrietta Kroeger Schindler, a resident of this community since November, 1862, received a corsage, and Henry Kuchel, a resident since 1860 and publisher of the Gazette for half a century, was awarded a gardenia boutonniere.

Wallop, 90 years old, admits that he never worried, and in his talk before the pioneer group attributed his achievement of being the oldest in point of years among those present to his lack of worry. B. F. Porter of Fullerton gave a brief resume of his arrival from Texas, and activities as a rancher since, while A. Pierotti, 78, of Placentia, recalled the days when Anaheim was the only town of any consequence between Los Angeles and San Diego. "We knew everybody in the good old days," he said.

The move is taken in the hopes that this city might be included among the first in the $3,300,000 public works program recently adopted by congress and President Roosevelt as part of a plan to combat the depression. Since an inspector's report already is on file, recommending a site in this city, and since plans for the local construction were well underway when President Roosevelt temporarily suspended construction and contracts upon his inauguration, local officials believe that Anaheim stands a good chance of seeing its desired postoffice erected within the next year.

AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 22, 1933 HEN COUGHS UP GOLD COIN BUT IT'S SAD STORY C. W. Patrick of 643 Franklin street, Huntington Beach, has found a hen that coughs up a golden coin. The only trouble with the hen was that she was dead when she revealed her uncanny powers. In fact, the Patricks were preparing the hen for Sunday dinner when the craw yielded an old Spanish gold coin, octagon in shape and about the size of a gold dollar. How long the hen carried the coin is conjecturable, since it was worn smooth and printing not decipherable, excepting for a Spanish cross on one side. While some persons are inclined to view the hen as a gold hoarder, more serious people wonder if somewhere in the henyard where she was kept with other chickens there is not a clue to a hidden Spanish fortune. Gophers, it has been pointed out, carry such coins for long periods of time when they pick them up. Possibly it was brought to the surface by a gopher or the hen ate the gopher or—oh, well, anyway, the Patrick henyard is not filled with people digging for gold. Chamber Voting On 7 Directors Members of the Anaheim chamber of commerce this week were voting on 14 persons to fill seven vacancies on the Unemployed Women and Girls to Camp Three middle-aged women were the first applicants for entrance to the Experimental Camp for unemployed women and girls which has been established in the Bear Mountain district of New York state under the orders of Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, and sponsored by Mrs. Franklin D.

County Seeking 13 Million Aid Supervisor Jerome Puts Several Projects "In the Hat" for Consideration Orange county is seeking $13,000,000 for federal employment relief funds under the $3,360,000 federal public works act. This is the announcement of Supervisor W. C. Jerome, following his attendance at meetings in Los Angeles, where Southern Californians were "putting into the hat" all their favorite public constructions plans, out of which will be selected those projects to be furthered by the huge federal appropriation. Largest item in Orange county's list is the proposed $11,000,000 flood control plan as prepared by Engineers Means, Elliott and Etcheverry, but never submitted to the voters of the county. Another item of considerable significance is the proposed dredging, widening, building of jetties and lengthening of Newport Harbor, where a minimum of $600,000 and a maximum of $2,000,000 is projected. The county also is considering a $340,000 highway program, which as yet has not been determined by the board of supervisors, but which may receive attention within a short time. Jerome points out that as yet the county has no buildings planned that could be included in the program, but he argues all cities of the county to submit their requirements for inclusion in 600 Seeking Loans From Land Banks Local Agent of Farm Loan Commissioner Assembling Factual Data To Aid County Over 600 farm owners have called at the farm advisor's office in Santa Ana during the past 10 days, according to Paul Etzolak, local correspondent of the farm loan commissioner, to seek information on the recently enacted federal farm loan act. Most of the inquiries registered have been for refinancing. Loans are limited to $5000 for any one person, or the federal farm loans that have so far been limited to 50 per cent on appraised valuations of $700 to $800 per acre on good citrus properties. The farm credits committee of the farm bureau is bending every effort now to cause the land bank and loan commissioner to liberalize their present policy with respect to issuing loans on Orange county properties. Extensive data has been assembled by the farm bureau water committee and specialized crop committee to show that Orange county orchards and farms are among the best securities in the country and should be recognized as good loan risks. Because of the specialized agricultural crops grown here, with returns higher than for the so-called basic crops, the farm credits committee, headed by C. A. Palmer of Orange, is asking the land bank to increase their present low appraisals that afford no relief to local agriculture. "The intent of the new deal farm act is to give relief," says Mr. Palmer, "but the lending policies of the land bank carried over from the previous regime so far offers little towards that much needed relief. We are assembling factual information concerning Orange county to present to the federal bank, looking to the liberalization of their present loan policies." 100 Attend Big Church Meeting One hundred delegates attended the Pacific coast conference of the German Baptist church which opened at the Bethel Baptist church Wednesday evening, where Rev.

Many Attend Big St.Joseph Fete More than 300 relatives and friends attended graduation exercises at St.Joseph's academy Sunday evening in Pioneer Grower Buys $20 Land In 1870, Refuses $120,000 for 30 Acres in 1928; Success Story of Texas Cowpuncher Fullerton's B. F. Porter, who herded a group of Texas long-horn cattle across the plains to California in 1869 and finally settled in Anaheim in 1870, tells a success story which thrills students of pioneering history. He bought 40 acres of land at $20 an acre on Orangethorpe avenue in December, 1870. In 1928, after he had disposed of 10 acres, he was offered $120,000 for the remaining 30 acres, but refused. He then made his biggest "killing" on another 30 acres which he bought a number of years ago, taking $29,000 net profit off them in one year. This is the gist of the story which Mr. Porter told friends at the Old Timers' picnic at the city park last Saturday. It is the story of the pioneer who lived to profit from the fruits of his labor. Here is the story as Mr. Porter told it: "I was born on July 22, 1848, leaving the plains about 60 miles south of Austin, Texas, on May 11, 1869, with others interested in taking a group of cattle to the coast for sale. We finally arrived in Southern California, with a few of the cattle, too. But cattle could not be sold. We drove them back to the Colorado river, where we disposed of them to buyers at a price which broke us. I then went to a little town south of San Diego where I purchased 18 acres. I hired an Indian at 50 cents a day to dig a trench into which we placed a picket fence, tying the top with soaked rawhide. Just as I had finished fencing off the entire plot of ground, build a house and corrals, and prepared to settle down. Uncle Sam's surveyors came through to resurvey the United States-Mexican boundary. The new line placed 16 of the 18 acres in Mexico—lost to me. "I then came to Anaheim, arriving about the middle of October, 1870. In December I purchased 40 acres of land on Orangehoppie, paying what then was a high price. $20 an acre. But the land was somewhat better than the run of acreage, and I was willing to try my hand. For a long while I grew walnuts, tried my fortune at other types of farming, but finally planted valencias. In 1928 some promoters offered me $120,000 for 30 acres, having in mind subdivision. But they would not put up more than $60,000 cash, and I could not risk having the property cut up for less than $80,000 so we did not arrive at an agreement. I am glad we did not. The biggest call I ever made off my land was off 30 acres, from which I took $29,000 net in one year." Yes. I believe Orange county valencia land is worth buying and holding. And there is one more Orange county institution I believe in and enjoy. It is the Anaheim Gazette, of which I have been a subscriber for more than 50 years." JOSIAH C. JOPLIN, FOR 30 YEARS TREASURER OF ORANGE COUNTY, IS DEAD; FUNERAL RITES WEDNESDAY Veteran County Official Is Mourned by Hundreds Throughout District; Succumbs After Illness of Several Months; Member of Confederate Army in Civil War; Came to County in 1877 Josiah C. Joplin, for 30 years treasurer of Orange county and one of the best known public officials in this district, died Monday and was buried Wednesday at the Odd Fellows section of the Santa Ana cemetery. Funeral services were held from the Winbigler funeral parlors on North Main street, Santa Ana, with Rev. W. J. Hatter, rector of the Church of the Messiah, officiating. Full Odd Fellow lodge rites were said at the graveside, with lodge officials acting as pall bearers. Mr. Joplin died at the age of 88. For several months he has been failing, and death momentarily was expected as the pioneer official made a determined fight for his life at his home, 315 West Washington avenue, Santa Ana. He was born in Bedford county, Virginia, the son of Mr. and Mrs. James W. Joplin, both Virginians and descendants of pioneer families of that state. His mother was a Booth, a family prominent in the South. Mr. Joplin joined the confederate forces when the Civil war broke out, serving in the Second cavalry, part of the famous stuart's cavalry brigade. He served under Generals Beauregard and Robert E. Lee, and for a time with General "Stonewall" Jackson, participating in several engagements. He was slightly wounded once. After the war ended Mr. Joplin returned to Virginia.

After the war ended, Mr. Joplin returned to Virginia, then went to Mississippi and Arkansas, but returned to his native state after three years, and married Miss Rebecca C. Boyd of Virginia, daughter of Andrew Boyd and niece of Virginia's W. W. Boyd who was a member of congress when his state seceded and a senator of the Confederacy. In 1877, Mr. Joplin headed for California, coming directly to this portion of Los Angeles county and settling on a large unsurveyed tract of land in Belle canyon where he became a stock raiser. In 1893 he managed the Orange county exhibit at the World fair in Chicago, later going to head the Orange county exhibit at the St. Louis fair. In 1898 he was elected county treasurer. With the exception of a two-year period, he was treasurer for 30 years, retiring on December 31, 1930. He was interested in various civic and county affairs, a member of the farm bureau, and the National and State Beekeeper associations. He also took an active part in the Odd Fellow lodge. The veteran county official is survived by five sons: Andrew W. Joplin, John B. Joplin, and Joe Joplin, all of Santa Ana; James A. Joplin and William P. Joplin, of Parker, Arizona; and several grandchildren. He was a brother-in-law of Dr. J. P. Boyd and Miss Rosa Boyd of Santa Ana.

S. Grimshaw, charter member, Frederich Conrad Buried at Hollywood Thursday; Made Fortune In Anaheim Beer One of Anaheim's pioneer brewers who began making beer in this city in the early '70s lived to see the day when Anaheim beer again looms as a successful industry. He was Freiderich Conrad, 80, for 35 years prominent in the Mother Colony's business life, who died at his home in Los Angeles Monday night. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon from the Hollywood chapel Hollywood cemetery, with many of old friends in this district in attendance. Mr. Conrad was the second brewer to make his home in Anaheim. A Mr. Goldstein was the first beginning operations about the year 1870 at brewery located just east of the present Valencia hotel at Center and Lemon streets. A few years later, Mr. Conrad came to this city and established a brewery on the south side of Adele street, between Los Angeles and Lemon Later, he was instrumental in organizing the brewery company which finally located on West Broadway at the site of the Consolidated Ice company. Some of the original building still stand, and some of the original machinery still is installed at that location. It was while the beverage was made Laurel that this city became famous for its Anaheim beer. While on West Broadway, Conrad first established what he called his "Trivoll" gardens. It became the gathering point for hundreds of people from Los Angeles and other cities, who came on Sundays for picnics, to buy dinner, and to drink Anaheim beer. These gardens were sold to the Concordia Society; the Society's clubhouse and present picnic grounds, which are the present mecca for many groups all over Southern California, are located adjacent to the old brewery. It was in the brewing business that Conrad became wealthy. He sold out his interests before 1900, but remained actively interested in Anaheim business properties for many years later. About a quarter of a century ago he moved to Los Angeles, making his home in later years at 1658 West Twenty-third street. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Charlotte Conrad; a son, Fred; and three daughters; Mrs. Lorraine Young, Mrs. Barbara E. Dugan, and Mrs. Leslie Swope. A son, George, died of typhoid fever when the family lived in Anaheim. The brewery which Mr. Conrad established and sold continued to make beer until 1920, closing down before national prohibition went into effect. Since three-point-two beer has become legal this year, a move is afoot to capitalize on the reputation made by Anaheim beer during the formative period of this community's life, with plans announced for a brewery to be Thomas H. Walker will lead his flock to the Calvary church in July, where he will conduct services for the joint congregations. Rev. V. K. Ledbetter will return the courtesy during August, giving sermons from the First Presbyterian church, with his congregation joining in the services. Activities are rapidly being wound up for the summer in the Presbyterian church, one of the final events being the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Missionary society that was held on Thursday night at the church. Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw, charter member, told the history of the society and Dr. H. A. Johnston told of his own experiences in coming to Anaheim. A pageant, representing years of Christian history, was then presented. Mrs. Walter Ross sang a number of appropriate selections and one written especially for the occasion by Mrs. Thomas Walker, "Fifty Years." The evening was presided over by Mrs. H. A. Hawley. Thursday morning the high school graduates in the church were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Gibbs, 929 East Center street, by the Bible school. This was the tenth annual affair. Besides the graduates present there were F. N. Gibbs, superintendent of the Sunday school, Lloyd Ross, superintendent of the adult department and Mrs. S. S. Collins and Mrs. F. A. Altenow, teachers. I. M. Beardslee Death Mourned Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from the Backs, Terry and Campbell parlors for Israel M. Beardslee, 92, who died Sunday at the home of a daughter, Mrs. William A. Dolan, 809 West Broadway street. Rev. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, officiated. The body was sent to Evanston, Illinois, for burial. Mr. Beardslee was a native of Sussex county, N. J. He came here from Illinois about a year ago to reside with his daughter. He is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Dolan and Mrs. E. D. Pouge of Evanston; one son, C. P. Beardslee of Anaheim; and three grandchildren. La Habra Votes for Legal Beer La Habra last Saturday voted by 305 to 298 in favor of permitting three-point-two beer. The city council canvassed the returns Monday night, and will meet August 20 to adopt an ordinance licensing the sale of alcoholic beverages. GUESS THE "GOOD OLD DAYS" ARE HERE AGAIN.
