IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter on Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 15, 1908 Walnut growers of Southern California will this season pay brokers handling their crop a commission of $120,000, a price which many growers regard as excessive. Brokerage this year aggregates nearly 7½ per cent which upon an output of 800 carloads equals this exorbitant sum of money. Two years ago brokerage charges were 5 per cent, last year this toll was raised to 6 and this year 1½ and 6. A member of the local nut growers' association, which two years ago marketed an output of 20 cars outside the exchange, says the actual cost of marketing this output was less than 4 per cent and that on a basis of 800 cars it should not exceed 3 per cent. It would appear that the brokers have the better of the bargain right along, but this year's brokerage charge seems out of all proportion to what a just and adequate charge should be. Growers seem over-anxious to harvest their crops, and give little heed to the excessive import placed upon them by brokers. These latter are at very little expense in marketing the California walnut crop. Nuts practically sell themselves. After assuming all risks of the harvest, paying taxes and for the care and maintenance of their orchards, growers should undoubtedly receive better figures from brokers than these here given. When it is realized that on a rising market brokers reap the added advantage, and that with falling markets growers have to stand the loss, despite the contracts entered into with brokers, it would seem that a more enlightened system of selling should be devised. Why do not growers dispense with these high-priced middlemen and market their crops themselves? County Clerk Williams has completed the footing of the registration of voters and finds the gain over two years ago to have been 606. The total is 7357 for this year, as against 6751 for 1906. In 1906 Anaheim No. 1 had 279 this year; 349, Anaheim No. 2 had 190 in 1906 and this year 256. West Anaheim in 1906 had 213 and this year 257. This is the son of uncertain there be an unimplies.

In 1906 Fullerton had 427 registered voters, this year 443. Manager Petty is having the stage at Kroeger's theatre enlarged and remodeled, after which it will be large enough to accommodate any of the road plays. He will put on the board the best attractions this season at popular prices. His program now changes every Wednesday and Saturday and has been good and those who have not seen it have missed a treat. The crowds are increasing so that he is forced to increase the seating capacity. Saturday night there was only standing room left and the audience was composed largely of the best people of our city. Mr. Petty has made arrangements to present the "Passion Play, or the Life of Christ" in a few weeks. This play will be presented in colored motion pictures. Reduced rates on all railroads from every station in Southern California have been arranged for the Orange County Carnival of products to be held at Santa Ana the 15th, 16th and 17th. This carnival will be a magnificent representation of products, attractions and resources of Orange county, and an elaborate program of entertainment has been arranged for each day. Mrs. N. Frank Morse of Placentia has been appointed school trustee to fill the unexpired term of R. H. Gilman in the Placentia school district. The appointment came without solicitation on Mrs. Morse's part, and is a handsome testimonial to her fitness for the office. The other trustees are Wm. Crowther and Samuel Kraemer. If you fail to attend the supper which the W. C. T. U. ladies will serve at Y. M. C. A. rooms Friday afternoon and evening, you will never smile again. Chicken-pie dinner, like mother used to make, only 10 cents, cafeteria style, and many other delicacies too numerous to mention. All are welcome, business men, clerks, working men, and all others, who desire a fine dinner at low rates. The cause is a worthy one, and the ladies should be greeted with a crowded house. Go early and avoid the rush. The green fruit shipping season of 1908 is breaking all records and is a source of much surprise and pleasure to growers, shippers and railway carriers. Up to the beginning of the week 900 carloads of green fruit including grapes, had been shipped out of California for the season, and before it closes the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe freight traffic officials believe the number will reach 1200 or about 500 more than any season has had to its credit in the past. The shippers are getting an average of $1200 gross per car. Out of this sum they have to pay freight and refrigerating charges amounting to $400.

Wallop is seriously ill at her home on Philadelphia street. She has been ailing for some weeks past, and her condition lately has shown little improvement. Mrs. Wallop is one of the oldest and best known residents of Anaheim, and her illness is regretted by a wide circle of friends. Company E left for Atascadero by special train over the Santa Fe on Sunday afternoon at 4:30. The company was under command to Lieut. Kellenberger, who assembled thirty men for joint maneuvers. The troops were in their new khaki uniforms and made a soldierly appearance as they marched to the depot and presented company front at the station. The train was composed of five coaches and baggage cars and carried the Redlands, River-side, San Bernardino and Santa Ana companies. The San Diego company passed through on a later train and joined the regiment in Los Angeles. At 7 o'clock the regiment under command of Col. Schrieder left Los Angeles for the north. The train was scheduled to arrive at Atascadero in time for breakfast on Monday morning. The troops will be absent two weeks. Adolph Bierent and wife who have been guests for some weeks past of Mr. and Mrs. Gunderson have returned to Pleasanton where Mr. Bierent is engineer for Mrs. Hearst at her palatial county home at that place. Roy Firebaugh came in to see the sights on Tuesday evening. Roy is holding down a farm in the Katella district. Wm. Crowther entertained a number of friends on Saturday evening, the occasion being his 71st birthday. Mrs. Melrose entertains the ladies euchre club at her home this afternoon. E. G. Ware was a business visitor in town yesterday from Garden Grove. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 13, 1883 This is the "betwixt and between" time of the year—the season of uncertainty when the purse strings are drawn tight lest there be an unpropitious winter, with all the hardships which that implies. It is the time of year when each change in the horizon is noted and commented upon—when the weather-wise distribute their predictions—when the crooker assumes that the worst will happen — when the canguine are sure that the coming season will be all that could be wished for—when the sensible man keeps mum and prepares to say, "I told you so," whatever the result be. It is the time of year when the grimvisaged tax gatherer demands his titles with an authority which can not be denied. It is the time of year when the surplus pennies must be hoarded to buy the trifles that make glad the children at the coming of the glorious Christmas holidays. It is the time of year when the strutting gobbler and the meek hen find themselves the objects of extraordinary care, and are surfeited with fattening food, for lo! the season approaches when the whole nation will be called upon to give thanks to the Giver of all good — by gluttonizing at the well-laden tables. What has the near future in store for this county? Will the coming winter be a repetition of the past few winter seasons or will nature take pity on us and be more lavish with the life giving rain. In the latter case this county will continue to advance and will without doubt, take its place as the second county in the state. On the other hand, a scant rainfall will result in arrested development. Until our irrigation system is perfected and more water developed we are as dependent upon rains as any other. What we need this winter is a heavy rainfall. If the soil could get a thorough saturation, there would be little anxiety regarding the rainfall for several successive seasons. Anaheim and vicinity are well represented at the county fair in Los Angeles. Leonard Parker has a fine display of wal- Urges Individual Feeding to Cows Expert Outlines Several Methods of Determining Amounts of Concentrates Per Animal High-producing dairy cows rarely lay on flesh when provided a well balanced ration, but cows with a lower capacity will become too fat. There is a decided limit for the amount you can give certain cows, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. A cow producing less than 25 pounds of butterfat a month will probably not pay for concentrates given her. Such cow should be limited to alfalfa hay and silage or pasture in order to leave any margin for the owner. But the better producing cows should be given concentrates in accordance with the amount of fat in their milk. There are several rules which one can follow. One rule is to feed as many pounds of concentrates daily as the cow gives pounds of butterfat in a week. For example, if a cow gives eight pounds of butterfat a week she might be given eight pounds of concentrates a day. Another way to estimate the amount is to weigh the milk and then feed one pound of concentrates per day for each three or four pounds of milk, depending on its richness. In the final analysis you will probably be forced to watch butterfat prices as well as feed prices and limit the amount of concentrates to which will leave some margin of profit above feed costs. This, then, suggests another rule. Feed as much as the cow will pay for at the current prices of feeds and products, increasing the allowance gradually until she fails to respond by an increase in production which will cover the increase in costs. For example, suppose three pounds of concentrates are fed daily to a certain cow to start with. Raise the allowance to three and one-half pounds the second week, four pounds the third week, four and one-half pounds the fourth week. Anaheim and vicinity are well represented at the county fair in Los Angeles. Leonard Parker has a fine display of walnuts, apples, oranges, grapes and lemons. J. W. Clark has six varieties of grapes. George R. Hinde of Placentia displays seventeen kinds of grapes, peaches, pears, figs, persimmons, apples, also dried peaches, figs and raisins. McPherson Bros. of Orange has on exhibit one hundred and twenty-three boxes of raisins, nearly all of the new crop which have been very highly praised by experts. R. J. Blee of Santa Ana had three varieties of wine grapes. The ladies' ten mile running race at the Park on Thursday was won by Miss Lawrence of San Diego in 27.04. The other contestants were Mrs. Blacklaw of the Centinela ranch and Miss Chilson of Los Angeles. The latter while mounting her horse on the seventh mile fell and received injuries which incapacitated her from further participation in the race. Rev. J. A. Emery of St. Michael's Episcopal church, writes us from Philadelphia that he will arrive in Anaheim about the 15th instant and will preach in his church on the evening of October 21st. He further adds: The general convention of the church met here yesterday in Grace church, the same building where the first convention was held after the close of the Revolutionary war. It will be in session for three weeks. Some sixty Bishops and over three hundred clergymen were present, together with about three hundred lay delegates. California had a full clerical delegation, headed by the Rev. Mr. Birdsall of Los Angeles, and two lay delegates, one of whom was Col. Stephens of San Gabriel. A new wharf has just been completed at San Pedro for the Pacific Coast Steamship company, at a cost of $3,000. The two wharves and the warehouse which will hold 40,000 sacks of grain are estimated to cost about $12,000. The First National Bank of Los Angeles, of which E. F. Spence is president and William Lacy cashier, has resources amounting to $1,590,000, it has deposits amounting to $1,178,000. It is a big institution, splendidly managed. There was a pleasant gathering of friends at the home of Mrs. Yocum on Thursday evening, who assembled to say "bon voyage" to Miss Libbie Yocum, who leaves today for a year's visit to Philadelphia and other Eastern cities. The Anaheim Minstrel club has organized and is now rehearsing for a monster entertainment to be given on the evening of Thanksgiving day. I addition to the members of the club, a number of well known ladies and gentlemen have promised to assist in the entertainment. It will be a big thing. The organization of a company having for its object the building of a reservoir on the Kraemer tract, and the building of a ditch from the reservoir to connect with the Anaheim company's now seized prices and limit the amount of concentrates to which will leave some margin of profit above feed costs. This, then suggests another rule. Feed as much as the cow will pay for at the current prices of feeds and products, increasing the allowance gradually until she fails to respond by an increase in production which will cover the increase in costs. For example, suppose three pounds of concentrates are fed daily to a certain cow to start with. Raise the allowance to three and one-half pounds the second week, four pounds the third week, four and one-half pounds the fourth week, and so on until by actual weighing of the milk and knowing the percent fat, it can be definitely determined how far this particular cow might be induced to increase production and still leave more margin above cash outlay for feed. One cow may justify no feeding for concentrates, another four pounds daily, another eight pounds daily or more. Cows should be fed individually according to what they will warrant. No other system of feeding will be as satisfactory. Accomplishments Of C.C.C. Listed Director of Natural Resources Says Camps Do Constructive Work; Many Being Moved Actual accomplishments of thousands of young men in 22 C.C.C. camps established in California have been brought to light for the first time. Dan H. Blood, director of the department of natural resources, issued a comprehensive report showing precisely what these boys, aged between 18 and 25, have been doing during summer months. Here's what was done up to September 1: Telephone lines, 56.15; miles; fire breaks, 49.93 miles; removal of fire hazards, 529.29 acres; roadside clearing (fire prevention), 172.49 miles; truck trails, 37.18 miles; minor highway maintenance, 4 miles; foot trails, 2.0 miles; foot bridges, 4; Bridges for vehicles, 15; rodent control, 40,040 acres; cattle guards, 2. At present, camps are somewhat disrupted," Blood said, "due to the fact that many boys are returning to their homes. It will be about a month before the camps are brought back to full strength. In the meantime, constructive work that has been started will be continued and carried on throughout the winter." Blood said many camps will be moved down from high altitudes to the lowlands to avoid inclement winter weather. There is also a strong possibility," he added, "that many additional camps will be established in California." The Anaheim Minstrel club has organized and is now rehearsing for a monster entertainment to be given on the evening of Thanksgiving day. I addition to the members of the club, a number of well known ladies and gentlemen have promised to assist in the entertainment. It will be a big thing. The organization of a company having for its object the building of a reservoir on the Kraemer tract, and the building of a ditch from the reservoir to connect with the Anaheim company's new ditch, is one of the things now talked of. It is much easier to count chickens before they are hatched than to estimate a grape crop before it is picked. The crop now being harvested is a very grievous disappointment, and the yield will be much less than the estimates made in the early part of the season. This is a fast age. At the Chicago driving park a young pacer driven by Peter V. Johnson on Tuesday eclipsed all previous records. The horse got a warming up in 2:22¾ and on the second trial paced without break or skip in exactly 2:10 thereby making the fastest harness record ever known. The recent high seas have washed away a part of the breakwater which extends to Dedman's island, mostly the sand dunes. General Boschke has a gang of men at work at the willow forest on the Cerritos Rancho, cutting willows to place in such a position as to prevent further damage. It was practically demonstrated on Monday that a circus and a public school cannot come into competition without disaster to the school. The teachers were perforce required to declare a holiday. Robinson's circus played to a good house on Monday and it was fully deserving of the patronage it received. It was the biggest and best show of the kind which ever performed here. The Riverside Press announces that Alfred Robinson, trustee of the Stearns Ranchos has commenced suit against the land owners of Agua Mansa claiming title to all that portion of the Jurupa rancho. Albrecht Bros. have sold twelve of the Acme Fruit dryers this season. They manufacture the dryers from the model furnished by the inventor. "At present, camps are somewhat disrupted," Blood said, "due to the fact that many boys are returning to their homes. It will be about a month before the camps are brought back to full strength." In the meantime, constructive work that has been started will be continued and carried on throughout the winter." Blood said many camps will be moved down from high altitudes to the lowlands to avert inclement winter weather. "There is also a strong possibility," he added, "that many additional camps will be established in California to take care of camps moved in from other states where conditions are not favorable during the winter months." All camps continued or reestablished will be reconstructed to meet winter conditions." Individual feeding to Cows Lines Several Methods Mining Amounts of Drates Per Animal New Interpretations of Federal Farm Loan Bank to Aid Poultry Growers, Orchardists Encourages Loans to Poultry Men On Basis of Manufacturing Instead of Agricultural Unit. While Production Record of Groves Will Be Considered in Making Loans to Growers An important interpretation of the regulations under which poultry raisers and orchardists may qualify to secure loans from the farm credit administration's various agencies has been authorized by the administration council in Washington and was announced at Berkeley by President Willard D. Ellis of the federal land bank, eleventh district. Under the modified conception of the federal farm loan act the specialized nature of these two agricultural industries is recognized and provisions for granting loans to poultrymen and fruit growers have been adjusted accordingly. Recognizing that a poultry farm is more a manufacturing plant than an agricultural unit, the administration council has determined that the value of the buildings thereon is a more dominant factor than land values and appraisal may be adjusted accordingly. The minimum acreage upon which a loan may be based will depend upon whether or not the poultry farm is in a recognized district for that industry, the ability of the average poultryman to succeed on small tracts in the neighborhood, accessibility to markets and earning capacity of the plant as demonstrated over a period of years. Under the new interpretation, no loan for longer than ten years may be granted. Orchards, instead of being appraised on "basic values" as heretofore, will be considered given location, sale value, and the expected life of the trees and vines. Farm credit administration appraisers will be required, nevertheless, to take into account such attendant factors as pests, unseasonable frosts and droughts, resistance of rootstocks and demonstrated yield over a period of years. Both poultry and orchard loans will be made only in thoroughly proved districts where satisfactory marketing facilities exist and not on promotion projects. Poultry raisers will be Deep Sea Anglers Rejoice Over New Ocean Fish Laws Deep sea anglers rejoice over recent enactment of the ocean fish conservation law designed to prevent further losses or extinction of game fish. Principal provisions of the new law are: White sea bass may be taken with hook and line at any time. Between May 1 and June 20, the bag limit on white sea bass taken with hook and line is 5 per day. White sea bass may not be sold between May 1 and June 30. Barracuda not less than three pounds in weight may be taken at any time. No barracuda may be sold between May 1 and June 30. It is unlawful to use any net to take barracuda or white sea bass between May 1 and June 30, or to sell such fish during same period. Marlin swordfish meat may not be transported out of this state. It is unlawful to chum with live bait in district 20 to assist in taking fish for commercial purposes. Yellowtail may be taken with hook and line at any time, but may not be sold between June 1 and August 31. on "basic values" as heretofore, will be considered given location, sale value, and the expected life of the trees and vines. Farm credit administration appraisers will be required, nevertheless, to take into account such attendant factors as pests, unseasonable frosts and droughts, resistance of rootstocks and demonstrated yield over a period of years. Both poultry and orchard loans will be made only in thoroughly proved districts where satisfactory marketing facilities exist and not on promotion projects. Poultry raisers will be encouraged to avail themselves of commissioner's loans, which can be made as high as 75 per cent on value of the farm property unentailed. OLDEST ROAD IN UNITED STATES The oldest road in the United States is about 6,000 years old and is now known as U. S. 62 and U. S. 80 close to El Paso, Texas, and as U. S. 85 north of El Paso. BRUCE BARTON writes of "THE MASTER EXECUTIVE" Supplying a week-to-week inspiration for the heavy-burdened who will find every human trial paralleled in the experiences of "The Man Nobody Knows" RESPONSIBILITIES OF SUCCESS Jesus went to John to be baptized and for a while John's influence molded him. Jesus, too, retired into the wilderness and there met the first crisis of his career. When he emerged he had formed his own plan for his work; asceticism and denunciation, he knew, were not the role for him. His first success was swift beyond all expectations. Out of the Temple, shrieking and cursing, went the money-changers, while the crowd cheered his name to the echo. That night the whole city was stirred by the story. When he left, at the end of the feast, and went back into his own north country, he found that his fame had preceded him. Crowds flocked to hear him talk; news of his deeds of healing traveled ahead of him everywhere. His vision of his work began to take definite shape. He would restore the self-respect of the people, abolishing the rule of formalism, and establishing a fresh, glorious conception of the Fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood of man. It all seemed so natural, so easy, there in the warm sunshine of Galllee with the responsive faces of the multitude turned eagerly toward him. The year or year and a half that followed were filled with this time. No barracuda may be sold between May 1 and June 30. It is unlawful to use any net to take barracuda or white sea bass between May 1 and June 30, or to sell such fish during same period. Marlin swordfish meat may not be transported out of this state. It is unlawful to chum with live bait in district 20 to assist in taking fish for commercial purposes. Yellowtail may be taken with hook and line at any time, but may not be sold between June 1 and August 31. It is unlawful to use any net to take yellowtail between June 1 and August 31, or to sell such fish during said period. Yellowtail may be used only for consumption as fresh food fish. The provisions of this part do not apply to yellowtail taken in waters lying south of the international boundary line between the United States and Mexico, extended westerly in the Pacific ocean. The commission is authorized to prescribe regulations governing the inspection and marking shall be paid by the importer of the yellowtail. Bruce Barton felt in every audience he addressed, in every town he visited. Reluctantly he had to face the fact that the time was coming when he must compromise or fight. It was with this realization that he faced a second and a greater crisis. He had crossed the lake one day in a little boat to get away from the crowds; but they were too quick for him. Running around the end of the lake, and gathering recruits as they ran, they waited for him at the landing place—more than five thousand strong. He was tired, and wanted a chance to rest and think. But here were the people, pathetically eager, and he "had compassion on them." So he sat down among them and went on with his teaching until the day was almost over.
