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 OCTOBER 22, 1908 We are indebted to Controller Nye for a copy of his annual report giving the assessed value of property in the counties of the state together with other data. The report shows the total assessed valuation of all property in the state to be $1,994,511,299, an increase of $116,000,000 over 1907. Valuations of Southern California counties are as follows: Los Angeles, $407,666,294; San Diego, $31,447,399; San Bernardino, $33,040,625; Orange, $20,213,109; Riverside, $20,874,067. Not a single resident of Orange county should have remained away from the Carnival of Products at Santa Ana last week. Exhibits of the county's products amply repaid any one for attending. They could not be eclipsed anywhere on earth. The northern portion of the county was well represented, Los Alamitos, Placentia, Fullerton and this city taking prominent part. No well wisher of Orange county's future prosperity can afford to miss these splendid annual displays. The queen of the Carnival of Products, Miss Ethel Chapman, was a most gracious and beautiful ruler. She was robed in regal splendor and was attended by a court of pretty girls those from this city being Miss Claudina Rimpau and Miss Gertrude Asher. Gov. James N. Gillett made a short address to a crowd of several hundred voters at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets on Tuesday just before noon. C. C. Chapman was chairman. An earlier meeting at Fullerton was addressed by Clyde Bishop, L. A. West, Judge West, Richard Melrose and M. Estudillo. Accompanying the party from Santa Ana were Assessor Scott, County Clerk Williams, Tax Collector Lamb, Auditor Lester, Editor Baumgartner and a number of other notables in Republican politics.

Accompanying the party from Santa Ana were Assessor Scott, County Clerk Williams, Tax Collector Lamb, Auditor Lester, Editor Baumgartner and a number of other notables in Republican politics. William Jennings Bryan, democratic candidate for president, will arrive in Anaheim next Saturday evening, October 24, on a special Santa Fe train, direct from the east at 8:15 o'clock. He will speak 35 minutes. Bryan will arrive at Fullerton at 8:55 and will speak there also. Both addresses will be at the depots. Bryan will address a democratic meeting in Los Angeles later in the evening, and will make a whirlwind canvass of California and the Pacific coast. Welborn Wallop has purchased the interest of his brother, Willie Wallop, in the grocery store heretofore conducted by them, and will in future conduct the same. Mr. Wallop is one of our best known and most progressive merchants and in his widened sphere of activity has the best wishes of a host of friends. Willie Wallop succeeds George Ross as secretary and manager of the Gas company. Success to both gentlemen. The Rite of Confirmation will be administered at St. Michael's church by the Rt. Rev. Joseph H. Johnson on Sunday morning, October 25, at 11 o'clock. The public will be cordially welcomed. The following musical order of service will be observed: Processional hymn by Dykes; Kyrie by Tours; Antisermon hymn by Sullivan; Confirmation by Sullivan; Communion by Smart, Sanctus by Adams, Benedictus by Gower, Agnus Dei by Adams, Gloria in Excelsis by Old Chant, Amen (Bell) by Stainer, Nunc Dimittis by Grey.—Frederic A. Jung, Pastor. W. A. Hunter was in town from Fullerton on Tuesday evening. He has an advertisement of interest to those desiring to purchase cement pipe, building stone and fence posts, which will be found in another column. F. W. Barron has returned from a business and pleasure trip to Iowa. He states politics are warming up in the east with indications throughout the middle west that Taft is making great headway and will be elected. Mr. Barron attends Saturday's flower show at Santa Ana. Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Schwentker and family who have been spending the summer at Ocean Park, visited with relatives in Anaheim and Fullerton last week. They left on Wednesday for their home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mrs. Schuman has been quite ill the past week suffering with internal disorders culminating in heart failure. For several days her condition was low, but she later revived and was yesterday reported to be considerably improved. Mrs. W. F. Bacon, aunt of Mrs. U. Sid Lemon, died at her home in Los Angeles on Sunday of last week in her 56th year. The funeral services will be held on Monday at 10:30 a.m., followed by a memorial service at 11:30 a.m., with flowers provided by local businesses.

She is hale and hearty in her 76th year. The Retail Merchants association met on Wednesday evening and resolved to inaugurate a Market Day on Saturday, Nov. 21 and to continue it once a month hereafter. A plot of ground near the business center will be secured where farmers may bring their fruit, vegetables, livestock and produce of all kinds. Another feature will be bargain sales by all merchants on Market days. Paving a section of the business streets was discussed. Fritz Yungbluth, L. E. Miller and F. C. Spencer were appointed a committee to confer with the City Council and ask that body to fix street crossings in the business section before the rains set in. At the conclusion of business an adjournment was taken to Huenemeyer’s cafe where an elaborate banquet was enjoyed. Judge Lafayette Gill addressed a large audience at the opera-house on Tuesday evening. Judge Gill vigorously opposed the candidacy of M. Estudillo. W. S. Tipton, a life-long republican presided at the meeting. J. W. Towner, candidate for Superior Judge, and G. B. Miller for the assembly also spoke. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baum, Mr. and Mrs. Bradford, Mrs. Beebe and Miss Beebe, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Hill, Mrs. Falkenstein and Mrs. Asher were among those grouped about the Anaheim exhibit in the big tent of the Carnival of Products on Saturday.

Popular prices 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 20, 1883 As a culmination of the cloudy weather which has prevailed for some days past thirty hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Monday night. Its effect is described with so much beauty of language by the poetical local correspondent of the Herald that we quote: "The bright sunshine and sea-breeze of yesterday prevented any injury to the grape crop. The trees and vines were thoroughly washed, the dust put to rest and Anaheim was an Eden, with flowers and trees cleansed and the atmosphere glorified." It is understood that today the great through express and mail trains will commence over the Atlantic and Pacific railroad their regular trips from St. Louis to San Francisco. A sleeping car will leave St. Louis over the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad, and connect at the junction with another which starts from Kansas City over the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, making a united train to the Needles, where the passengers will change to the Southern Pacific coaches for Los Angeles and San Francisco, the only change between St. Louis and San Francisco. The time from the Needles to Albuquerque will be twenty-seven hours. The time from Los Angeles to the Needles is not yet published but will probably be about seventeen hours. The extension work being done on the Panama canal strangely enough evokes less comment in America than it does in France, although it would seem that this country ought to feel more interest in it. The fact, however, that De Lesseps is the promoter, and that other French engineers have main charge of the work, accounts in a measure for the interest which the Parisians take in the matter. That they are proud of the work and have faith in its success is shown by their readiness in buying the new issue of stock placed upon the Paris market a few weeks ago. The enter- Orange County’s C.C.C. Quota Is Placed at 60 Men Only 2,853 Enrollies Will Be Taken In State for Second Enlistment This Week Careful selection appears the watchword for California county registration agents for C.C.C., as enrollment for the second "enlistment" period becomes general throughout the state. Only 2,853 enrollees will be taken this period, contrasting with the 11,500 in the quota of the original enrollment. The new enrollees will be in the nature of replacement units, R. C. Brannon, director of state emergency relief, said. At the same time Brannon announced county quotas, he announced county registration agents and their addresses. In Orange county the quota is 60 and the registration agent is B. V. Curry, court house annex, Santa Ana. Brannon said there were several times as many trying to get into the camps as there are openings, which will preclude registration of any but the most needy cases. California's quota is expected to be filled this week. One result of the first period of the enrollment reflects highly in California's favor, according to state emergency relief officials. Approximately 25 per cent of the Californians left the C.C.C. camps at the end of the first enlistment compared with figures as high as 55 per cent from some of the midwestern camps, reflecting the satisfactory conditions in California camps. Another point remarked by the officials was that more than 50 per cent of the Californians are sending $20 to their families by allotment instead of the $20 minimum in the first period. For the second period a minimum of $22 must be allotted the family. Brannon said. County quotas for the new enlistment have been figured on a population basis. The extension work being done on the Panama canal strangely enough evokes less comment in America than it does in France, although it would seem that this country ought to feel more interest in it. The fact, however, that De Lesseps is the promoter, and that other French engineers have main charge of the work, accounts in a measure for the interest which the Parisians take in the matter. That they are proud of the work and have faith in its success is shown by their readiness in buying the new issue of stock placed upon the Paris market a few weeks ago. The enterprise will probably not languish for want of funds. The press of this state is after a Mr. Tyrell who, in an interview with a New York reporter belittled California. If Tyrell is at all sensitive, and can read, he probably realizes that it would be better to tie a grindstone around his neck and jump into the sea than to speak slightly of the Golden State. The Fire Department met on Tuesday evening and elected the following officers: N. A. Bittner, foreman; S. A. Dennis, first assistant; J. Yaeger, second assistant; E. J. Pellegrin, secretary; F. Smythe, treasurer. These selections were approved by the fire commissioners. The gentlemen who hold the property of the old company proposed to transfer it to the new company if the town trustees will purchase an additional 200 feet of hose. A request to that effect will be presented to the board at its next meeting. Dr. Ellis is in receipt of a letter from A. Dreyfus of Mazatlan, Mexico, which gives an appalling picture of the ravages of yellow fever which first siezed him on August 11th. He quotes some notable instances of the fatality attending the scourge, and says that the horrors of the situation were augmented by the fact that the two best physicians of the city were absent, and those who remained were themselves sick. At the date on which the letter was written the thermometer marked 96 degrees at 1 p.m. and 86 degrees at midnight. A committee of the Anaheim Water company had a conference on Thursday with the Directors of the S. A. V. I. Co., regarding the differences existing between the two companies. The Anaheim committee proposed to dismiss all legal proceedings if the Santa Ana company would agree to give to the Yorba irrigators, out of the common water, the 125 or 200 inches which it is assumed they are entitled to, and then make an equal division of the water between both sides of the river. The acceptance or rejection of this offer will be made known when the other side shall have had an opportunity to consult their attorney and stockholders. It is to be hoped they will avail themselves of this offer as the best and cheapest way of avoiding all further conflict. A settlement of this kind would lead to a more hearty unison in all future movements looking to a development of water, and the identity of interests could not fail to add to the prosperity of both sections. The Los Angeles city surveyor in his report to the city council on the water system of the city gives the number of acres irrigated, 7,366; total length of ditches 324,120 feet of which 29,106 are piped; length of pipe required to complete the piping of the present system of zanjas., 302,214 feet and estimated cost of same camps at the end of the first enlistment compared with figures as high as 55 per cent from some of the midwestern camps, reflecting the satisfactory conditions in California camps. Another point remarked by the officials was that more than 50 per cent of the Californians are sending $20 to their families by allotment instead of the $20 minimum in the first period. For the second period a minimum of $22 must be allotted to the family. Brannon said. County quotas for the new enlistment have been figured on a population basis, the same as were the original enlistment quotas. Los Angeles leads the list with a new quota of 1,070, and Alpine contrasts with none, whatever. Moro county can send only one man to camp. POLITICALLY SPEAKING A whirlwind campaign in favor of the great central valley water project will actually mark the beginning of Governor Rolph's campaign for re-election. After calling a special election for December 19 to give the people an opportunity to vote on the referendum against the $170,000,000 water project the governor immediately started plans for a speaking tour which will carry him to almost every county in the state. The governor will make every effort to get the water plan approved because he sincerely believes it of paramount importance to the state and to his administration. There is this side also. Rolph and his advisers feel that the governor's greatest chance for re-election lies in his personal appeal. So the capitol will see very little of the governor for a while. Incidentally, the water fight has brought about some peculiar combinations, the strangest of which is the sight of Senator J. M. Inman, potential candidate for lieutenant governor on an anti-Rolph ticket, find up with Rolph and Senator Bradford S. Crittenden, Stockton. Outside of the water problem, with its phases of public ownership of power and unimproved relief, the political picture has changed little. The tight bring it out gave against sales tax to a land has shown little progress. Should it quietly attempt to force Rolph to give it special consideration by either arranging for inclusion on the December 19 ballot, or calling another special election, probably will be made Reports that a recall movement would The Los Angeles city surveyor in his report to the city council on the water system of the city gives the number of acres irrigated, 7,366; total length of ditches 324,120 feet of which 29,106 are piped; length of pipe required to complete the piping of the present system of zanjas., 302,214 feet and estimated cost of same $292,319. A large party of fair women and brave men invaded the Planters hotel on Wednesday evening and tendered to Mrs. Knapp. Mrs. Duff, Miss Richardson and Miss Duff a surprise party. That reception was cordial may be inferred from the fact that it was 2 o'clock in the morning before the thought of dispersing occurred to any of those present. A hearty invitation to come again will no doubt be accepted in the near future. The sale of the Walby place in North Anaheim was consummated on last Monday, the purchaser being Mr. J. J. Duff, late of Brooklyn, N. Y. He contemplates making extensive improvements immediately. Mr. Walby intends, we understand, to go to Oregon after a time. The growing importance and business of our port of San Pedro may be imagined when it is known that six hundred and twenty freight cars and sixty-two passenger cars were hauled between that point and Los Angeles during last week. Figures talk. A lodging house at San Pedro owned by J. Malgreen was burned to the ground Monday morning together with four other adjoining buildings. The flames originated in the room of a sailor named Henry Meyer, who was burned to death. It is thought he was drunk. The reports from the Anaheim oil wells are most encouraging. The prospectors are making liberal expenditures in the way of machinery and are thus proving their faith in the ultimate success of their work. Water, wine and oil will yet make Anaheim flourish beyond all expectations. Mr. Harker tells us that some years ago the managers of the St. Louis Fair gave a premium of $500 for the best ten pounds of butter. It is such a policy as that which has made the St. Louis Fair the most attractive of all the state exhibitions. Outside of the water problem, with its phases of public ownership of power and government relief the political picture has changed little. The light to bring out against the sales tax to a land shown little progress. Should it be an attempt to force Rolph to give a special consideration by either arranging or inclusion on the December 19 ballot, or calling another special election, probably will be made. Reports that a recall movement would be instituted if Rolph refused to take some such action have received scant consideration. When the governor included Fred E. Stewart, state equalization board member, on his list of possible candidates for the republican nomination for governor, it was rather expected that Stewart would consider himself too busy with the sales tax and issue a denial. But he refused to either affirm or deny the report. Other candidates are virtually marking time, preferring to wait until spring when such problems as water and taxation, and deficits will have taken a more definite position in relation to what promises to be one of the state's most exciting political years. Along in March the big gains will begin to boom in earnest. Incidentally a special session of the legislature early next year is a strong possibility. The deficit amounts to $41,600,000 and is growing steadily as revenues decrease. The income of the steam railroads on which the state collects a gross receipts tax, for instance, is 17 per cent below that of last year. Claims Gigantic Bridge Never Done Public Works Director Earl Lee Kelly is authority for the statement that the great San Francisco Bay Bridge never will be completed. "Just as soon," he said, "as the painters complete the job of covering the eight-and-a-quarter-mile structure, it will be time for them to do the job all over again."

EYES UPON THE GOAL Just what happened in the moment when the food was kid before Jesus in feeding the 5,000 is an unpenetrable mystery; but there is no doubt at all as to what took place afterward. It was the event for which the people waited, the unmistakable sign! Moses had fed their fathers on manna in the wilderness; here was one who likewise called on Heaven, and supplied their wants. Surely he was the son of David long fortold, who would overthrow the rule of their conquerors and restore the throne to Jerusalem! Joyously they shouted the news back and forth. The day of deliverance had come; the tyranny of the Romans was about to end. They were an army and had not realized it. Right there on the field they were enough to outnumber the garrison in Jerusalem; but they were only a nucleus of the host that would gather to their banners, once their southward march was formed. If they were five thousand now, they would be fifty thousand, perhaps a hundred thousand then. They surged forward toward the little hill where he stood— And then— Jesus had foreseen their purpose, and even while they were perfecting their plan, doubt had raged through his spirit with the force of a tempest. Why not accept their nomination? Why not be their king? It would mean an alteration in his program, to be sure—a surrender of his vision of spiritual leadership. And yet it might not be such a surrender, after all. Solomon had been king, and a great spiritual leader; David had been king and had written the nation's highest ideals into his Dealms. He himself was better balanced than David, wiser than Solomon—why not? and servitude which nothing could end except the Truth that he had come to declare. To put himself at the head of this army of irrational people would he perhaps risk his life and message with it. But good that the possibility of failure was the possibility of success. In a flash he saw it all and made his decision. Ever as the multitude surged forward, he gave a few words orders to his disciples and disappeared. The Gospel story puts the dramatic element into a single sentence. Jesus, therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, withdraw again into the mountain also. Copyright, Bobber-Merrill Co. "Fines" Received By the Burglar Contrary to popular belief, "fines" received by Burglar is always victories for law and order. In fact, sometimes just the opposite is true. This deduction was advanced when employees of the Oak Park branch library at Sacramento reported to local police that Burglar had entered the building and stolen it. The money represented "fines" paid by library patrons for keeping books over the time limit.

Beekeepers Will Meet at Balboa Proposed codes for the honey industry will come up for lively discussion at the annual conference of Southern California beekeepers that meets at Balboa on October 13 to 16. The four days' conference will embrace reports from beekeepers organizations of each southern county. The beekeepers department of the Orange county farm bureau has been assigned the opening day's program on Friday. Among the Orange county speakers will be C. K. Lush, chairman of the department who has just returned from the East; Roy K. Bishop, Orange county bee inspector; Roy Bell, Orange; and others. All beekeepers of Orange county are invited to attend, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. The sessions will be held in the Balboa pavilion overlooking the bay. Sessions will begin at 10 A.M. each day. "By the way, Tom, where do you bank?" Dy the way, Tom, where do you bank?
