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 and 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 23, 1908 R. H. Gilman of Placentia last week sold twenty acres of valencia orange orchard land at Placentia to Hiram E. Wanamaker of Syracuse, N. Y., for $40,000, being at the rate of $2000 per acre. This is believed to be the largest price ever paid for orchard land in California. Mr. Gilman retains large holdings of similar land at Placentia, but will move to Pasadena, where he will erect a handsome home and permanently reside. H. J. Quayle, assistant professor of entomology of the University, who is an authority on insect pests, left Berkeley Monday for Southern California, where he will take charge of the campaign against the insect pests on the citrus fruits. Quayle will make his headquarters at the southern pathological laboratory at Whittier from which the campaign of extermination of the destroyers of the orange and lemon groves will be waged. A number of the entomologists of the university will assist Quayle in the work. The investigations will be carried on not only among the citrus fruit pests but against the blight of the walnut and other pests. A fire raged in Trabuca canyon several days last week beginning on Friday and continuing until Monday. It did considerable damage. A three pronged buck was found burned in the canyon after the fire. "The people of southern California ought to go on a pilgrimage to the head of Trabuca canyon," said Forest Supervisor Marshall, head of the Cleveland National Forest, at Santa Ana yesterday, "and take a lesson from the devastation there, brought about by the carelessness of campers. Several years of time and $50,000 could not replace the damage done." Jim Wilkie found on going to his oil wagon a few mornings ago that someone had paid him a visit during the night and made away with a quantity of distillate. The wagon was left standing next the barn in the alley back of Mrs. Richardson's residence.

The wagon was left standing next the barn in the alley back of Mrs. Richardson’s residence. The chap was not backward about taking all his receptacle would hold, and his crime was discovered only by the oil spilled upon the ground. Mr. Wilkie had no difficulty in tracing the fellow several blocks east on Broadway and is of opinion he knows the thief. O. A. Mullinix moved this week to his new drug store east of the First National Bank, where he has opened one of the finest drug stores in southern California. New show cases adorn the interior, linoleum is laid upon the floor and a hansome soda-water fountain is one of the features. The formal opening will occur on Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock, when ice cream will be served the public free of cost. Clyde Taylor was sentenced to forty days in the county jail at Santa Ana on Tuesday morning by Justice Smithwick on his plea of guilty to cruelty to a horse. Taylor drove and whipped a horse he hired in this city on Monday until the animal could hardly move. The Pacific Implement company will in the near future occupy new quarters on the corner of Los Angeles and Chartres streets. Fritz Ruhman will erect a large and commodious building for the firm. The Chinatown buildings will be razed and the corner ornamented with a substantial building. Adolph J. Backs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Backs, and Miss Frances Skinner of West Anaheim, will be married this (Thursday) morning at 9 o’clock at the residence of the bride’s parents. Father Dubble will officiate. The young couple are popular members of society and have many friends who join in wishing them a long and happy married life. After a short honeymoon spent at beach resorts they will make their home in this city. A party composed of Misses Helen and Isabel Richardson, Emma Backs, Lilly Zeus and Violet Nebelung of this city and Misses Porter Hillman and Edna Lyon of Los Angeles, accompanied by Mrs. Richardson as chaperon, leave today for a three weeks outing at Laguna. Olinda defeated Santa Ana in a ball game at the Oil Wells on Sunday the score being 8 to 2. Hansen of the former team struck out ten men and allowed 6 hits. Brown of Santa Ana struck out 8 men and allowed 5 hits. E. Huenemeyer and family returned yesterday morning from Missouri, after a five weeks absence. One hundred and ten in the shade was too much for Herr Huenemeyer and he hiked back to Anaheim, never to leave it again. The Odd Fellows' building association has secured judgment...

The Odd Fellows' building association has secured judgment against Hattie Mitchell of Pasadena in the amount of $368 in a suit affecting a party wall. The Ladies Aid of the Presbyterian church will meet this afternoon at the home of Miss Zeyn at 2:30 o'clock. All ladies of the church and congregation are invited. There will be a special song service at St. Michael's church on Sunday morning. An interesting number on the program will be a solo by Mrs. Charles Richard Sumner. Miss Marie Kaiser, who left last month for Switzerland writes friends here that she arrived home safely after a pleasant trip across the Atlantic. In a note to the Gazette Miss Kaiser sends regards to all inquiring friends. Capt. and Mrs. Williams accompanied by Misses McKay, Johnston and Parker spent two days last week at Stoddard's camp. The trip was made in the former's auto. The premises recently vacated by Druggist Mullinix in the Koll block will be renovated and repainted and will be opened in the near future by O. Fulde, recently arrived from Chicago, as a jeweler's and optician's emporium. Miss Gertrude Eichler of Oakland, is visiting in town, the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Wm. Konig. Mrs. L. Nemetz, Mrs. Frank Nemetz, and Mrs. Julia Payne are sojourning at Elsinore Springs. Miss Alice Robison leaves this morning for a visit with relatives and friends at Cochise, A. T. Mrs. Otto Strodthoff returned to her home in Los Angeles on Monday after a brief visit with relatives in town. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 21, 1883 So far as we have been able to learn the pile dam which the S. A. V. I. company propose to build in the river has not received the endorsement of any engineer, but is solely the idea of some of the members of the company, who profess a contempt for the engineering profession, and who believe that the dam will develop water. Mr. Eaton, the engineer of the Los Angeles Water company and the gentleman who made the borings in the river and made a study of the geology thereof, told the writer on Thursday that the pile dam scheme was the veriest nonsense and a useless waste of money. The water, in his opinion will find plenty of outlets, it being impossible to drive piles so as to interpose a complete barrier to the flow of water, and any dam which does not do so will fail to accomplish its purpose. It remains to be seen which of the two opinions are correct. It may be of interest to note that Mr. Eaton asserts his ability to drain all the water flowing under the surface of the river at an expense of $50,000. The Board of Trade, an organization which has for its chief object the advancement of the interests of this county, and which must necessarily rely for the furtherance of such object upon the newspapers of the county, have had printed in San Francisco a pamphlet for gratuitous distribution entitled, "Los Angeles city and county: Resources. Climate. Progress and Outlook." The work is a typographical abortion upon which any competent printer would not place his imprint. The Board of Trade ought to know that in ignoring the printing establishments of this county in the distribution of their patronage they are guilty of gross injustice and ingratitude. We suggest to our city contemporaries that the next time the Board of Trade asks for newspaper favors, they refer them respectfully to the press of San Francisco. This thing of "sponging" on the local paper and ignoring it when there are a few dollars to be expended is getting too common. On several occasions we have been deluded into giving The latest returns from Anaheim Landing announces the arrival of the following, in addition to those noted last week: R. J. Northam and family, Mrs. Conrad and family, D. E. Miles, Mrs. Cater, Mrs. M. Classen and family, Miss Mary Kraemer, Mrs. James Ellis, C. H. Zeyn, Misses Dora and Minnie Zeyn, Miss Ida Witte, Mr. and Mrs. Woods, Mrs. Henderson and family, C. A. Norman, Coquillette brothers, Wm. Bailey, Edmond Luedke, W. J. Smith and family, Prof. Packard and family, Browning brothers, all of Anaheim. Mrs. Arthur Heiman and family of Los Angeles, Mr. Frank Branch of Norwalk. It is said that at Laguna Beach the numbers of campers mount up into the hundreds. Among the Anaheim people there are Leonard Parker and family. Mr. and Mrs. Barr, Dr. and Mrs. Bradell, Mr. and Mrs. Konig. Mr. F. Backs and family and Mrs. Werder and family will go there next week. Messrs. C. Z. Culver, A. B. Cauldwell and W. B. Forsythe of Orange, have associated themselves together for the purpose of buying packing and shipping raisins to the markets of the east. They will also ship green fruits such as peaches, pears and grapes. They have obtained rates from the railroad company, which, though not nearly so low as they ought to be, will yet afford grower and shipper a small margin of profit. A warehouse will be speedily put up of sufficient capacity to handle the business. The complaint is almost universal among the orange growers of Orange that large quantities of the young fruit is dropping from the trees. The cause is supposed by many to be the immense crop borne by the trees last season. But, as the fruit is also falling from the young trees just coming into bearing, this theory would seem to be disproved. The state board of equalization has agreed upon the following system of assessing vinyards in California: First class, producing over nine tons per acre $150; second class, producing over six tons to and including nine tons, $120; third class producing over three tons to and including five tons, $80; fourth class, producing three tons and under, $40 per acre. The supervisors give notice that the court house property will be offered for sale at public auction on August 25. They reserve the right to withdraw the property at anytime before the sale is consumated, and also to retain possession of the property for The state board of equalization has agreed upon the following system of assessing vinyards in California: First class, producing over nine tons per acre $150; second class, producing over six tons to and including nine tons, $120; third class producing over three tons to and including five tons, $80; fourth class, producing three tons and under, $40 per acre.

They reserve the right to withdraw the property at anytime before the sale is consumated, and also to retain possession of the property for two years, paying the purchaser a rental equal to 6 per cent on the purchase money. Mr. Robert Strong of Westminster was in town yesterday. He confesses to a shortage in the apricot crop in that locality, but predicts a large crop of that most delicious fruit—prunes. Prunes on peach stock grow excellently in Westminster and will yet be a staple product of that thriving place. Mrs. Mary Smith of High street, Los Angeles, while filling a lighted lamp with oil was badly burned by the explosion of the oil in the can. It takes a severe lesson to teach some people just plain common sense. F. C. Hazen, the zanjero of the Anaheim Water company at the river, reports about 1200 inches of water in the river at Bedrock crossing. A fire-proof brick wine cellar is being built near the railroad depot by Mr. Tim Boege. It is 30 by 64 feet, and located so that wine can be loaded directly on the cars. Butter is a scarce luxury in this county at the present time, notwithstanding large consignments are being received daily from the northern counties. The vineyards continue to flourish, and an immense crop of grapes is assured. This has, so far, been one of the best seasons ever experienced by the grape growers of Anaheim. Mr. E. C. Priber, a wine merchant of St. Louis, Mo., was the guest of Mr. Korn this week. He left for San Francisco yesterday. Mr. Korn will go to San Francisco next week. The town trustees have contracted for distributing 150 loads of gravel on the streets. THE FOUNDER OF MODERN BUSINESS When Jesus was twelve years old his father and mother took him to the Feast at Jerusalem. It was the big national vacation; even peasant families saved their pennies and looked forward to it through the year. Towns like Nazareth were emptied of their inhabitants except for the few old folks who were left behind to look after the very young ones. Crowds of cheerful pilgrims filled the highways, laughing their way across the hills and under the stars at night. In such a mass of folk it was not surprising that a boy of twelve should be lost. When Mary and Joseph missed him on the homeward trip, they took it calmly and began a search among the relatives. The inquiry produced no result. Some remembered having seen him in the Temple, but no one had seen him since Mary grew frightened; where could he be? Back there in the city, alone? Wandering hungry and tired through the friendless streets? Carried away by other travelers into a distant country? she pictured a hundred calamities. Nervously she and Joseph hurried back over the hot roads, through the suburbs, up through the narrow city streets, up to the courts of the Temple itself. And there he was. Not lost; not a bit worried. Apparently unconscious that the Feast was over, he sat in the midst of a group of old men, who were tossing questions at him and applauding the shrewd tarily his parents halted—they were simple folks, uneasy among strangers common sense of his replies. Involuntarily disheveled by their haste. But after all they were his parents, and a very human feeling of irritation quickly overcame their diffidence. Mary stepped forward and grasped his arm. "Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?" she demanded. "Behold thy father and I have sought the sorrowing." I wonder what answer she expected to receive. Did she ever know exactly what he was going to say: Did any one in Nazareth quite understand this keen, eager lad, who had such curious moments of abstraction and was forever breaking out with remarks that seemed so far beyond his years? He spoke to her with deference, as always, but in words that did not dispel but rather added to her uncertainty. "How is it that ye sought me?" he asked. "Wist ye not that I must be about my father's business?" His father's business, indeed, as if that wasn't exactly where they wanted him to be. His father owned a prosperous carpenter shop in Nazareth, and that was the place for the boy, as he very well knew. She was on the point of saying so, but there was something in his look and tone that silenced her. She and Joseph turned and started out, and Jesus followed them—away from the temple and the city back to little Nazareth. Next Week: The Business of Life Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Co. Fiesta Program Nears Completion With a number of world champion riders and ropers already signed up, plans for the Fiesta del Oro, to be staged in Santa Ana as the second annual Orange county historical event on July 27, 28 and 29th, are nearing completion. One of the features of the rodeo will be the appearance of Monte Reger and his famous Texas longhorn educated steer, which jumps automobiles, races, works as a cowpony in roping cows and performs other stunts requiring unusual intelligence. Known as a vicious outlaw until two years ago, the steer, whose horns have a spread of four feet, has been trained as a show animal. A large number of Santa Anans are growing beards and raising sideburns in an effort to win a cash prize in a whisker-growing contest held in connection with the Fiesta. The Fiesta will open Thursday morning, July 27th, with a street breakfast on main street between 4th and 5th, sponsored by the Orange County Breakfast Club, which has members in Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana and Newport Beach. Boxing Proving Popular Sport Boxing is a favorite sport among the men in the emergency conservation camps. One camp in the Angeles National forest of southern California boasts 16 professional boxers. Campsters View Highest Peaks One of the most picturesque emergency conservation camps in California is located in Lone Pine canyon, Inyo national forest. Here the men can sit in the tent door and look up at the sheer crest of Mt. Whitney, 14,496 feet in elevation, the highest peak in continental United States.
