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 SEPTEMBER 10, 1908 Twenty-eight hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Sunday evening in a freak rainstorm which began at 7 o'clock. In the mountains to the north and east upward of an inch fell accompanied by a down-east thunder storm. Not enough rain fell in the valley to injure the sugar beet and bean crops, harvest of which is now at its height. Walter Johnson, who learned how to pitch ball at Athletic park in this city is doing great stunts in the American league. In a series of games between Washington and New York on the latter's grounds the past week he pitched against the Yankees in three consecutive games and shut them out without a run in each game. On Friday he pitched the first game of the series, winning by a score of 6 to 0. On Monday he pitched for the third time shutting New York out 4 to 0. In the three games he allowed his opponents thirteen hits. This is a phenomenal record. Johnson receives $450 per month. Five different clubs have offered Washington $10,000 for his release. He is undoubtedly the greatest pitcher in the country. Carl Martin, employed as engineer at the Union Brewery and Mrs. Clara Bittner were married at County Clerk W. B. Williams' office on Wednesday afternoon of last week. Judge Smithwick officiated in his usual felicitous manner. Bride and groom are popular young people of this city, and their many friends extend good wishes for a long and happy wedded life. Alexander Henry, an old-time walnut grower of West Anaheim believes the crop will be fully 35 per cent larger in well-cared for groves than it was last year and says there will be less blight this year than in ten years. Mr. Henry has been growing walnuts for thirty-five years and thinks disease will gradually pass away.

Rhinold Schellens has purchased the ice-cream and candy manufactory, until recently conducted by Richard Fischle on Center street, and will completely renovate the interior. He will add a new soda fountain. Mr. Fischle goes to the West End where he will be associated with his brother-in-law Charles Lange in the grocery and merchandise business. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis returned on Sunday from a two-week's trip to San Francisco, Berkeley, Sonoma, San Jose and other up-state points. Mr. Lewis states that San Francisco is being rebuilt at a rapid rate. New sky-scrapers have been erected on Market street and other business thoroughfares. J. W. Towner of Santa Ana, democratic nominee for Judge of the superior court was in town on Saturday in the interest of his candidacy for office. Judge Towner was the first Superior Judge of Orange county having been elected on the non-partisan ticket after the formation of the county in 1889. He met many old-time friends who voted for him in the first election ever held in this county and who promised him their support again. Frank Ey was in town one day last week from Santa Ana and received the glad hand on attaining is 57th birthday. Frank resided in Orange county for 35 years and during that time has had much to do with public affairs. He was chairman of the board of city trustees of Anaheim before removing to Santa Ana, where he was honored by election to a similar position. Mr. and Mrs. Amberg go to Los Angeles on Friday evening to meet Miss Elizabeth Whitfield of New York, who comes on a visit to them. Lieut.

Harry Hanna has been spending the week at Miraflores with his folks following a three months tour of the east. He went as far as Maine and crossed over into Quebec. One of the features of the tour was a trip down the St. Lawrence rapids which he describes as exhilerating in the extreme. He also spent some time at Niagara Falls. Howard E. Lawrence, superintendent of the Los Alamitos sugar factory was in town a day or two ago. He reports the factory running up to its full capacity on the best crop of beets harvested in years. Billy Hale was a business visitor in town from Placentia on Tuesday. He and Mrs. Hale recently returned from a month's outing at San Diego. High school opened on Monday for the fall term with 77 pupils. Grammar grades begin on Monday next.

John Pfeninger has our thanks for a basket of muscats, Tokay and Black Hamburg grapes. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 8, 1883 The board of town trustees met on Wednesday. A full board was present. The committee on public improvements reported that the cost of building a new tank frame would be $400, and the cost of a new tank $450. Further action in the matter was deferred. The same committee reported that the first floor of the Masonic hall could be rented for five dollars a month and that the cost of putting the hall in condition for the use of the Fire department and Trustees, and of grading the street from the hall to Center street would be $80. The committee was empowered to lease the hall for a period of three years and have the necessary alterations and grading done. The water was ordered to be shut off from the public watering trough for one month and the marshal was instructed to notify the consumers of water not to sprinkle gardens after dark. It having been officially brought to the notice of the Board of Health that a physician intended to bring some children sick with diphtheria, the marshal was instructed to notify him that such action would not be permitted. The resignation of R. J. Northam as Fire commissioner was received and accepted. A communication from R. Luedke offering to put his large clock on the tower of the school house and keep the same in order for three years at an annual compensation of $18, provide the trustees paid for placing the clock in position was laid on the table. Those who pass the sanitarium on Lemon street cannot fail to have their attention directed to the artistic appearance of what is described in Pinafore as "the big front door."

Anyone desiring his services can leave orders with Mr. Erwin Barr or at the store of Jos. Helmsen. Sign Contracts For Instructors Anaheim High School Teachers Get Documents Filled Out Following Meeting Following last week's high school trustee meeting, contracts stipulating salaries based upon the budget adopted recently, were signed. Previously the instructors were given contracts assuring their re-employment, but with the salary left indeterminate pending action of the board on expenses. Contracts were signed for the following, who will begin instruction when high school opens September 11: Bella J. Walker, girls' vice-principal; Richard Glover, physical education and the same in order for three years at an annual compensation of $18, provide the trustees paid for placing the clock in position was laid on the table.

An effort now being made to establish in Anaheim a branch of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle is likely to be successful, as a number of ladies and gentlemen have signified their intention of becoming members. To those who can afford to give the time required—one hour's reading and study each week day—there is no better way to gain historical knowledge. Full particulars can be had from Mr. C. W. Moores or Mrs. J. A. Emery. B. J. Perry and family of Trinidad, Colorado, arrived in Anaheim a few days ago, and are stopping with Mr. F. H. Keith. He has decided to locate here permanently. We learn from Mr. Keith that a number of his Colorado friends are looking with longing eyes to this county, and will probably follow his example in taking up his abode here. It may interest them to know that Mr. Keith is well pleased with his new home, and has not a single regret for having abandoned his Colorado home for one in this more genial clime. One of the most attractive places in town, to ladies, is the new millinery store kept by Mrs. Grote. All the goods are from Eastern factories, are of the latest styles and arranged with a taste which betokens a practiced hand. Mrs. Grote is an expert milliner and dressmaker, and previous to coming here was the cutter and fitter of an establishment which employed eighty sewing girls.

The meaning of the above is that the German population of Anaheim are informed that they can procure fresh rye bread at the Anaheim bakery every day. Give it a trial. Nearly all the principal druggists in the city of Los Angeles were arrested yesterday on the charge of selling opium without a license. They will be arraigned to plead before city Justice Morgan today. The arrest was brought about, we understand by some sharp Mongolians, who, a short time ago, were mulcted in the prescribed fine for the same offense, and now hope to get even by informing against the white dealers, whose legitimate business it is to dispense all kinds of drugs. Last year Mr. G. P. Cuddleback of Orange, who has a ten acre vineyard in that settlement, manufactured into raisins and sold his crop, realizing a profit of a little over $1300. This year he has sold the grapes upon the vines for $1000, reserving 1000 pounds of grapes for himself. The purchaser does his own picking. Mr. Cuddleback will probably realize fully as much as he did Following last week's high school trustee meeting, contracts stipulating salaries based upon the budget adopted recently, were signed. Previously the instructors were given contracts assuring their re-employment, but with the salary left indeterminate pending action of the board on expenses.

This year he has sold the grapes upon the vines for $1000, reserving 1000 pounds of grapes for himself. The purchaser does his own picking. Mr. Cuddleback will probably realize fully as much as he did last year, and that without any trouble. One hundred dollars clear profit is not so bad. Prof. Cain the colored crank, delivered a sermon on Tuesday evening in front of the Planters hotel. Having knocked sin out in one round he proceeded to Santa Ana on Wednesday, and is now engaged in wrestling with the wicked in that modern Gomorrah. Goodman & Rimpau are busy taking stock, and as they go along they invariably mark down the price of goods. They invite a comparison of their prices with that of any house in Los Angeles, confident that they sell at as low a margin of profit. Dr. James Ellis in addition to the practice of his profession, has engaged in the sale of real estate and homeopathic medicines. The assignees of the Santa Ana Valley bank will declare a dividend of ten per cent in a few days. This will make 30 per cent paid to the depositors, and it is expected that fully 30 per cent more will be paid. The Kitty Stevens has arrived at San Pedro with 230,000 feet of redwood lumber for Messrs Saxton & Cox. Two more cargoes of lumber have been ordered, as the firm anticipates a brisk season. J. W. Shanklin is in town arranging to place upon the market one thousand acres of his land, all irrigable from the cajon ditch. The tract will be sold in ten and twenty acre lots. The 162 acres of the Olden tract in North Anaheim has been sold to Lovering and Baker, late of Iowa, the consideration was $11,000. Mrs. S. M. Wren left on Thursday for Portland, Oregon to join Mr. Wren, who intends to spend the winter there. Minnie R.

Reckless Driving Warning is Given Driving while intoxicated and the charge of hit and run are more serious than ordinarily considered. Since the enactment of the statute in 1931, any person convicted of the violation of Section 112, a charge of driving while intoxicated, or Section 141, a charge of hit and run, becomes subject to the power of the division of motor vehicles to cancel his license and when the information regarding the conviction has been sent to the division of motor vehicles, it, in turn, cancels the person's license and will not re-issue the same unless proof of the person's ability to respond in damages is filed and new application made for license. This law in effect places the same burden on one who has failed to satisfy a judgment after an accident under the financial responsibility act. The best course a person involved in such a matter can follow is to determine whether he is guilty and, if not guilty, put up a fight for his rights. The general attitude of a motorist not to be bothered to defend any traffic violation in these cases is sure to result in the loss of his license. Here’s How New Hog Reduction Program Works In Effort to Reduce Huge Surplus Orange County Raisers Offered Premium On Sliding Scale Basis for Hogs Weighing from 25 to 100 Pounds, and $4 Bonus for Sows Near Farrowing and Weighing Not Less than 275 By W. M. CORY, Assistant Farm Advisor The emergency hog marketing program under powers granted to the secretary of agriculture by the agricultural adjustment act proposed to reduce the potential marketing of hogs during the coming year by a maximum of approximately two billion pounds. This is the first step in establishing and maintaining a balance between the production and consumption of hog products and such marketing conditions therefore as will establish prices to producers at a level comparable with the prewar (1910-1914) relationship between hog prices and prices of things producers buy. The method adopted to accomplish this end is to offer special premiums to producers, ending October 1, for a maximum of four million healthy, normal pigs between 25 and 100 pounds in weight and a maximum of one million sows soon to farrow, each not less than 275 pounds in weight. The estimated live weight tonnage of such marketing would be approximately 650 million pounds. The premium offered to producers is on a sliding scale basis. On pigs weighing from 25 to 30 pounds, the California price would be $8.90 per cwt. With each five pound gain in average weight the price is reduced one-fourth cent. Thus pigs averaging from 31 to 35 pounds would sell for $8.65 per cwt. and pigs averaging 96 to 100 pounds would bring $5.40 per cwt. Pigs are to be purchased under this schedule on a basis of average weight per lot with a minimum weight of 25 pounds and a maximum weight of 100 pounds and a maximum range of weights of 30 pounds on individual pigs in each lot. Premium for Sows A bonus of $4 per head, plus the Condemn Practice of Few Salesmen Federal Internal Revenue Bureau Corrects Misunderstandings on Tax Forms Informed that salesmen of certain forms for keeping federal tax records have intimated they were officers of the government, or that their forms have received the approval of the government, the bureau of internal revenue made the following announcement: "For the information of the public, the bureau wishes definitely to state that it has not indorsed or approved, nor authorized any of its officers or employees to indorse or approve any particular accounting system or any prescribed forms for keeping accounts or rendering federal tax returns issued by a private individual or firm. Instructions of the bureau of internal revenue specifically prohibit its employees from officially indorsing or adding in the promotion of any private enterprise." With each five pound gain in average weight the price is reduced one-fourth cent. Thus pigs averaging from 31 to 35 pounds would sell for $8.65 per cwt. and pigs averaging 96 to 100 pounds would bring $5.40 per cwt. Pigs are to be purchased under this schedule on a basis of average weight per lot with a minimum weight of 25 pounds and a maximum weight of 100 pounds and a maximum range of weights of 30 pounds on individual pigs in each lot. Premium for Sows A bonus of $4 per head, plus the market price for packing sows on the day of sale on the animal's full weight, will be paid for each sow which properly qualifies under federal inspection as unmistakably near farrowing and weighing not less than 275 pounds. Processing plants which are authorized to purchase under this program are to make payments promptly upon delivery by the producers of properly qualified pigs and sows. The edible products resulting from the slaughter of the pigs and sows will be purchased by the national emergency relief administration at a price sufficient to defray the cost of processing, storage and freight, and will then be redistributed among needy people through regional relief agencies. Financing of the program is done through the levying of a processing tax on hogs for domestic consumption. It is estimated that a tax of one-half cent per pound live weight would provide adequate funds. Exports Decrease The decline in exports is due primarily to restoration of hog production in European countries since the war to a point well above their pre-war output and more recently because of tariffs and quotas levied, which limit the quantity of imports. This decrease in exports is estimated to be equivalent to one hog out of every six in farm feedlots in the United States. Since hog production continued without a decrease in the United States, a huge surplus has been created on the domestic market, which has caused a decline in both market value and price per pound of live hogs.
