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 JULY 9, 1908 Word has been received that the San Jacinto and Trabuca canyon forest reserves are to be consolidated under the name of the Cleveland National Forest in honor of Grover Cleveland. The two reserves have heretofore been under one forest supervisor and the consolidation means nothing but a change of name. Walter Johnson held New York down to four hits in a game of baseball at Washington on the Fourth, and saved a victory for his team 6 to 2. It was the second game of the day. New York took the first game 5 to 1. The Senators took three out of four games from New York and batted in their old time form. It was Johnson's first game of the season, and he acquitted himself well. His two previous appearances this season were tryouts in which he pitched only a few innings. Ben Cook has reached a depth of 62 feet in the well-pit being dug for the company at Crowther's southeast corner. The pit will be excavated to the depth of 100 feet. Water rises to a height of 65 feet, and according to Mr. Cook is sinking at the rate of three inches a day. It will continue to fall in his opinion until September. The pit is being lowered three feet daily. When the water stratum is reached pumps will be set to work and the pit emptied as work progresses. Three deep wells have been sunk, and a flow of several hundred inches is looked for when the plant is placed in operation. The five acre place of Mr. Wilson east of town was this week sold to M. A. Cook of Loara for $2,000. Mrs. L. Schultz has sold a twenty-acre improved place southeast of town to Mr. Williams of Pasadena for $9000. Resh & Co. have purchased a five acre tract, set to walnuts for $2000. L. Wingand of Pasadena has purchased four lots in the old Del Campo tract and will improve the property. Olinda and Rivera will cross bats at the oil wells in a game again with hard in preparation for the citizens' pavilion rooftop gliding rays or streaming, preceding me with the first buggies and directions, fitting American hooks from the juvenile Grand Marshes Cahen, Alber G.

Olinda and Rivera will cross bats at the oil wells in a game of baseball on Sunday afternoon which promises to be the most stubbornly contested of the year. Olinda has won eight straight games and will put up a stiff game against the foreigners. Joseph Dauser this week moved to Los Angeles where he will take up his residence. Mr. Dauser has erected a new residence in that city which he will occupy with his family. He has been many years a resident of this city and takes with him the esteem of many friends and neighbors as well as best wishes for his future welfare. Frank Baum has purchased from C. H. Phelps of Westminster the lot at the northwest corner of Los Angeles and Adele streets which will in the near future be graced by a handsome two-story residence. In making the deal he traded in part payment a house and lot on Olive street near Center. Charlie Lummis is working himself into a sweat over the proper pronunciation of Los Angeles. Many have given it up in despair an dcontent themselves with the abbreviated Los. Rah for Los! Mr. Armstrong's maple syrup and oatmeal mush samples of which were presented the editorial household have the endorsement of the epicures therein contained, as being the best placed on the table in many a day. Again thanks for the contribution. Fritz Ruhman and Max Nebelung spent the Fourth at Los Angeles, Huntington Beach and Balboa. They returned to the city in the evening, attended the theatre and came home on the midnight train. Mrs. Emma M. Polhemus this week sold a 20 foot lot in Phoenix A. T. to a business man of that place at a consideration of $15,000. The price is the highest ever received per front foot for Phoenix realty. The supervisors are in session this week as a board of equalization. The county’s assessed valuation shows an increase during the year from $15,844,895 to $17,443,960. Born, Thursday evening, July 2nd to the wife of Jos. M. Backs jr., a daughter. Mother and child doing well and Papa Joe the chestiest man in town.

A party of Placentia people including James Forbes and family, Mr. Jacobsen and family, James Tuffree, Mrs. Lloyd and son, M. H. Pellor and family enjoyed a picnic at Sycamore flats on the 4th. Miss Ethel Chapman entertained on Thursday evening at her home in Placentia at a bridal luncheon in honor of Mrs. C. E. Shank. The guests were members of the Ladies’ Riding club and a few friends. Later in the evening the ladies were joined by their gentlemen friends. A pleasant social hour followed. Prof. Walker informs us that diplomas for eighth grade graduates are in possession of School Trustee Clabaugh and may be obtained on application to that gentleman. Mr. and Mrs. Welborn Wallop, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Weisel, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Scott and Mr. and Mrs. Whiting spent the Fourth at Balboa. Mr. and Mrs. Melrose, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Backs jr., and Miss Winifred Melrose spent several days at Balboa the past week. Supervisor Linebarger has invested in a new touring car and has sent his team of trotters to the barn. Over 300 crates of berries were shipped from here on Monday to the Los Angeles and San Diego markets. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 7, 1883 Again we have to record a most successful fourth of July celebration. It was in many respects superior to last year's effort. On Saturday, Monday and Tuesday a host of volunteers worked hard in preparing for the event and their efforts were seconded by the citizens generally. The result was a large, comfortable pavilion roofed over with evergreens so thickly that only straggling rays of July sun could penetrate. On the streets flags were streaming, bunting, evergreens and flowers met the eye. On the preceding night the streets had been thoroughly drenched with the fire hose. Beginning at 8 o'clock a stream of wagons, buggies and vehicles of every age and condition poured in from all directions, filled with people coming to enjoy the day so dear to the American heart. At the appointed time the procession moved from the junction of Adele and Los Angeles streets. First came Grand Marshal Northam and his aids, Messrs. A. Rimpau, H. Cahen, Alberto Langenberger, R. Aguilar, D. W. Hudson and W. G. Thompson. The Anaheim Brass Band in a wagon drawn by four horses, a carriage with Theo Lynill, orator, C. W. Moores, reader of the Declaration of Independence, Rev. F. H. Robinson, Alexander Bailey, president of the day, a carriage with the board of town trustees, E. A. Meek with a wagon load of Domestic sewing machines of which he is agent for this vicinity. Next B. Dreyfus & Co. with a fine exhibit of wines in casks, pipes and bottles. An apparently inexhaustible pipe of claret was presided over by Richard Krebs and assistants, who dealt it out freely to whoever would partake. The car of liberty followed. Forty handsome little girls clothed in white with streaming ribbons of red and blue, each wearing a sash on which the name of a state was printed were arranged in pyramidal form and on the throne was the Goddess of Liberty, represented by Josephine Fesenfeld. The car was drawn by four large horses and was the most pleasing sight in the procession. The following is believed to be a full list of the young Misses who made such a refreshing tableaux: Anna Keith, Louisa Schneider, Anna Knapke, Theresa Knapke, Laura Luedke, Daisy Seibert, Pauline Sorenson, Cora Lewis, Stella Lewis, President of Princeton Dr. Harold Willis Dodds, 43, is the new President of Princeton University. He was born at Utica, Pa. He graduated at Princeton with the degree of M.A. in 1914. He is the second President of Princeton not to be a Presbyterian Divine, Woodrow Wilson being the other exception. He has been professor of Politics and has an international reputation on government planning. Commissioner Files 17 Deficiency Suits State Building and Loan Commissioner Friend W. Richardson last week filed 17 suits against as many Orange county residents in an effort to get deficiency judgments to make up losses incurred through foreclosure proceedings conducted on behalf of the Pacific Coast Building and Loan association. Affairs of that association were taken over by the state commissioner January 11, 1932. Foreclosure of the property of the 17 defendants failed to satisfy the judgments obtained against An apparently inexhaustible pipe of caret was presided over by Richard Krebs and assistants, who dealt it out freely to whoever would partake. The car of liberty followed. Forty handsome little girls clothed in white with streaming ribbons of red and blue, each wearing a sash on which the name of a state was printed were arranged in pyramidal form and on the throne was the Goddess of Liberty, represented by Josephine Fesenfeld.

The following is believed to be a full list of the young Misses who made such a refreshing tableaux: Anna Keith, Louisa Schneider, Anna Knapke, Theresa Knapke, Laura Luedke, Daisy Seibert, Pauline Sorenson, Cora Lewis, Stella Lewis, Beatrice Smythe, Emma Warling, Edith Warling, Amanda Warling, Jessie Witte, Hilda Witte, Maggie Bryden, Flora Steinhart, Frances Steinhart, Mary Bauer, Lizzie Bauer, Ettie Fesenfeld, Lizzie Fesenfeld, Ella Fesenfeld, Annie Yocum, Emma Hilmer, Ada Hinde, Minnie Hinde, Mary Husman, Rose Grezes, Edith Boege, Louisa Boege, Rose Cowan, Louisa Cowan, Katie Champlin, Josie Bennerscheidt, Nellie Howard, Minnie Steinhart, Freda Dravsen. On a large wagon F., and J. Backs had a parlor representation, the furniture being an exquisite set from their warerooms. The watchmakers and jewelers, Messrs. Luedke and Pellegrin, joined in making a display of their wares. A surf boat mounted on acarriage and drawn by six noble horses, on which the three Browning brothers rode postillion-wise. The boat was manned by Messrs. Bremmerman Burkle, Roberson and Landell, who feathered the oars most beautifully. Capt. Wilson was in command. Following were many other exhibits among them the Washington Meat Market with C. E. Leonard, and Albrecht Brothers displaying windmills. At the close of the literary exercises games were provided for the younger people and at 4:30 the blare of trumpets and other commotion gave warning that the Horribles were in motion. The column of disorder was headed by their Marshal. The band followed, the leader, John Hartung being immense in more ways than one. Not an untoward incident marked the day which concluded by a dance at Kroeger's hall which was filled to overflowing. The board of town trustees met on Thursday. The marshal was instructed to see that the streets were properly cleaned and the engineer was instructed to keep more water in the tank. R. J. Northam, C. E. Leonard and Frank Ey were appointed fire commissioners, and the first named was designated as chief. The town attorney called the attention of the board to the insufficient exits of two public buildings and suggested that in view of recent calamities from this cause the owners be compelled to make necessary alterations. To cover the matter Mr. Saxton introduced an additional section to Ordinance No. 20. The committee on public improvements was authorized to act in the matter of building a house for the hosecart and truck; meeting room at a cost not to exceed $600. Adjourned to meet as a board of equalization on July 26, 27, 28. At a meeting of the stockholders in the Anaheim cemetery association held on last Saturday, Messrs. Luedke and Kroeger were appointed a committee to examine the books. When they are ready to report another meeting will be called to elect a board of directors and adopt a new set of by-laws. Madame Modieska and her husband Count Bonzonta were in At a meeting of the stockholders in the Anaheim cemetery association held on last Saturday, Messrs. Luedke and Kroeger were appointed a committee to examine the books. When they are ready to report another meeting will be called to elect a board of directors and adopt a new set of by-laws. Madame Modjeska and her husband, Count Bonzenta, were in town on Tuesday. They are enjoying a rest in Santiago canyon as the guests of J. E. Pleasants. The Planters hotel has passed into the management of H. S. Knapp, he proposes to conduct the house in a first class manner and will endeavor to make it attractive to tourists. Dominic Lieb has purchased the Fountain Saloon on Center street from Albert Reiser. A fine billiard table, free lunch, reading room and the best of beer and liquors are offered. R. W. Scott, Esq. having gone on a trip to Washington Territory, his office business will be attended to by D. W. Hudson. While taking down the pavilion yesterday, Mr. T. S. Grimshaw fell from the roof and severely sprained his foot. A horse stolen from J. V. Sutton was recovered in upper Santa Ana by Deputy Sheriff Tyler. The thief could not be identified. The Anaheim Carriage and Wagon factory have sold four Studebaker wagons during the past week. H. D. Polhemus and family have come in from Phoenix A. T. and will spend a few months in town. Dr. Bardill and wife, and Mr. and Mrs. E. Barr have gone to Laguna for a few weeks recreation. The geographical shark of a Los Angeles paper refers to Santiago canyon, near Wilmington. Mr. Fred Langenberger has returned from the mountains and will remain in town a few months. NO SUCCESS WITHOUT SINCERITY Sincerity glistened like sunshine through every sentence Jesus uttered; sincerity is the third essential. Many wealthy men have purchased newspapers with the idea of advancing their personal fortunes, or bringing about some political action in which they have a private interest. Such newspapers almost invariably fail. No matter how much money is spent on them, no matter how zealously the secret of their ownership is guarded, the readers are conscious that something is wrong. They feel that the voice of the editor is not his own. The public has a sixth sense for detecting insincerity; they know instinctively when words ring true. It was the way Jesus looked at men, and the life he led among them that gave his words transforming power. What he was and what he said were one and the same thing. Nobody could stand at his side for even a minute without being persuaded that here was a man who loved people and considered even the humblest of them worthy of the best he had to give. There is no superstition more deadening to a writer than the idea that he can "write down" to his readers. No man was ever big enough to build an enduring success on the basis of insincerity; but many comparatively small men, like Peter the Hermit or Billy Sunday, fired with conviction, have been able to create and sustain a very considerable influence. Jesus was notably tolerant of almost all kinds of sinners. He liked the companionship of the rough and ready folk who were entirely outside the churches; he was tepid toward unfortunate women; he had a special fondness for James and John whose ungovernable tempers had given them the title of "Sons of Thunder"; he forgave the weakness of Peter who denied him; and was not resentful at the unbelief of his near relatives and his native town. But for one sin he had no mercy. He denounced the insincerity of the Pharisees in phrases which sting like the lush of a whip. They thought they had a first mortgage on the Kingdom of Heaven, and he told them scornfully that only those who become like little children have any chance of entering in. Little children know no pretense. They are startlingly frank. They look at the world through clear eyes and say only what they think. No writer, no orator, no salesman exercises any large dominion in the world unless he can humble himself and partake of their nature. "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not love, I am become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal," wrote Saint Paul. Much brass has been sounded and many cymbals tinkled in the name of advertising; but the advertisements which persuade people to act are written by men who have an abiding respect for the intelligence of their readers, and a deep sincerity regarding the merits of the goods they have to sell. Next Week: To Be Understood Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Co. J. Provencio Pays, and Pays, He Says The old axiom about the woman pays and pays is all wrong in at least one instance. That is, it is all wrong in the opinion of John Provencio. He avers he's the victim. It all happened this way: Provencio got intoxicated and tried to embroil an unnamed Mexican in troubles on East Center street last week. Provencio was arrested. He did not like the jail, so he started in to wreck it. He bent the bedstead. When he appeared in Judge Frank Tausch's court last week he was found guilty of intoxication. Consequently, he paid $25 on the intoxication charge as a fine, and then he paid again, this time $10 for damage to the bed. Total payments, $35. Merchants Will Meet Thursdays Members of the Anaheim Merchants and Manufacturers' association will meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month instead of on Wednesdays. This decision was reached at the last meeting in order to avoid conflict with another organization. President Harold Keirsey named E. M. Keith chairman of the permanent publicity and promotion committee. GOVERNORS WILL BE ENTERTAINED IN “ROLPH” WAY California’s Gay Social Chief Completing Plans for Convention Following conferences last week between William H. Woodfield, Jr., citizen aide to Governor James Rolph Jr., for the forthcoming Governor's conference, Adjutant General Seth Howard military aide, and business men and city officials of northern and southern California, plans for the state-wide reception to the visiting governors during July 23 to 28 were nearing completion this week. The reception will cover the entire state, with the visitors receiving the first official greeting by Governor Rolph as they enter California at Lake Tahoe, Sunday morning, July 23. Their entertainment will continue at Sacramento Sunday afternoon and evening, where the opening conference will be held, and where they will remain until Monday afternoon when they entrain for San Francisco. Conferences will be resumed in San Francisco, interspersed with entertainment, receptions and sightseeing.
