IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of an Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 3, 1883 If we were asked to name the most notable event of the year 1883, particularly appertaining to this vicinity we would say that on October 27th, the stockholders of the Anaheim Water company, by practically a unanimous vote, resolved to utilize the vast reservoir which is to revolutionize the affairs of Anaheim. The general meeting of stockholders convened at 2 o'clock last Saturday. Of the 1953 shares of stock issued there were represented 1599 shares, very few being proxies. The resolution which was introduced and debated was as follows: Resolved—That the company build the reservoir, provided one hundred thousand dollars can be borrowed at a rate of interest not to exceed six per cent per annum, for a term of from fifteen to twenty years, interest payable semi-annually, and that out of the money so borrowed all indebtedness of the company shall first be paid and any surplus left after a completion of the reservoir and all necessary ditches and other necessary work therewith connected shall be loaned out by the company upon the best terms obtainable. This resolution was adopted by a vote of 1378 shares to 167 against. When this grand project becomes a reality, the value of real estate lying under the reservoir will be doubled. Every one should rejoice. It will place Anaheim to the front as the most eligible and prosperous locality in all of Southern California. At a special session held on Monday by Directors of the Water company Messrs. Zeyn, Korn and Scott were appointed to borrow the money required. Messrs. Scott and Zeyn were appointed to procure the right-of-way through J. W. Shanklin's land and Mr. Hartung was appointed to secure the right-of-way through the Yorba property and he was authorized to ask any stockholder to co-operate with him in the matter. (This reservoir was later built and is known as the Yorba reservoir.—Ed.) There will be a vocal and instrumental concert at the Presbyterian church in Orlando on Thursday evening. At the evening it will return indicate and Bryan 177 elect, but falls ago.

(This reservoir was later built and is known as the Yorba reservoir.—Ed.) There will be a vocal and instrumental concert at the Presbyterian church in Orange on next Thursday evening. The concert is given to raise funds to pay the small debt due on the Christian church which has just been built, and which will be dedicated on Sunday morning, Nov. 11th by Rev. Jos King of Alleghany City, Pa. Tickets are for sale at the Anaheim postoffice and elsewhere. Among those who have volunteered their services are Prof. Packard of Anaheim, Mr. and Mrs. Rice of Tustin, the Orange and Santa Ana quartets, Mrs. Dr. Howe of Santa Ana and a number of others. The rain on the night of the 26th of October measured in Anaheim ninety-two hundredths, at Pasadena 1.20 inches, at San Fernando 1.50, at Newhall 2, at Spadina 2, at Los Angeles 1.37. A cloudburst in the mountains caused a torrent of water to rush down Covote creek, to the destruction of bridges and culverts. About 10 o'clock on Wednesday night the fast freight train from New Orleans fell through the Santa Ana river bridge, about one mile east of Colton. Eighteen cars were dumped into the river. Two brakemen Craik and Blevens were seriously injured. A tramp who was stealing a ride was killed, and another was badly hurt. Three hundred feet of the bridge was demolished. A full attendance of the members of confidence Fire Company No. 1 is desired on next Tuesday evening as a proposed amendment to the by-laws will be voted upon, providing that all meetings of the company shall be held with closed doors, also providing for the election of a sergeant-at-arms. After the meeting the company will turn out for drill. Mr. Keith is in receipt of a letter from his partner, Mr. Hanna, who is in Cleveland, Ohio. He writes that there will probably be a large immigration into this county soon and that Anaheim will secure a large share of the immigrants. Mr. Hanna is making a thorough canvass of the country, and we expect great results from the enterprise of this go-ahead real estate firm. Three pairs of three year old ostrichs were the other day shipped from New York to Sylvan Lake, Orange county, Florida. They came from Africa, weigh 200 pounds and stand seven feet high. Los Angeles, inspired by the example of Anaheim, is about to perfect its water system. The council has appointed three engineers to make surveys and recommend a better system than the one now prevailing. The trustees of the City of Riverside at their first meeting after incorporation followed the time honored precedent of enacting a dog license tax. They all do it. Every city council since Los Angeles, inspired by the example of Anaheim, is about to perfect its water system. The council has appointed three engineers to make surveys and recommend a better system than the one now prevailing. The trustees of the City of Riverside at their first meeting after incorporation followed the time honored precedent of enacting a dog license, tax. They all do it. Every city council since the world began has passed just such an ordinance. But it is only in Anaheim that it is enforced. (N. B. This is sarcasm). The ancient adobe Catholic church in Yorba precinct having fallen into decay, it has been decided to build a new one, and to that end Miss Smythe and Miss Yorba have been soliciting subscriptions. They have met with such success that the building of the new church is assured. Mr. Kenyon Cox, knowing that we appreciate choice reading apart from the routine matter which editors must necessarily absorb, has sent us from New York the October number of Dio Lewis's Monthly, a very unique publication. There is to be a "meet" of bicyclists in Los Angeles next week. The programme includes a parade to Santa Monica and return. Our local wheelsmen Messrs. Higgins and Cox will represent Anaheim at the gathering. After passing a very enjoyable season in British Columbia, Mr. T. C. L. Kay has returned to Anaheim having arrived on Thursday. He will probably spend the winter in this vicinity. Four Mexicans were arrested on last Saturday evening by Constable Bohn for disturbing the peace. They passed the night in jail and were discharged the next morning. A baker in Los Angeles named Edward Mecho was severely burned by the explosion of a five-gallon can of oil, from which he was pouring the oil onto a piece of burning paper. Mrs. Wigand advertises that she is prepared to receive pupils in German, French, Piano, Fancy Work, Knitting, Embroidery, Crocheting etc. She has already a class of eighteen pupils. An informal gathering of friends at the home of Mr. J. W. Landell at Centralia on Halloween were royally entertained by that most hospitable family. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 5, 1908 Election Returns were received at Odd Fellows hall on Tuesday evening. A large crowd gathered to hear returns. Early in the evening it became apparent that Taft had swept the country. Returns indicate that Taft has 306 votes in the electoral college, and Bryan 177. Taft has 64 more than the number required to elect, but falls a little short of Roosevelt's total of 336 four years ago. Taft has a plurality of the popular vote in the entire country of above 1,500,000 against Roosevelt's 2,545,000 in 1904. Taft carried nearly all of the doubtful states. He has won New York by a plurality of about 190,000, due to the amazing downfall of Tammy and the Democracy in the greatest city in the country. He actually carried the City of New York, which was claimed by the Democratic bosses for Bryan. Thanks also to the Democratic collapse in New York City Governor Hughes is re-elected by about 45,000 over Chandler. Meager returns from the Pacific coast indicate a Taft sweep in all those states except Nevada. In Orange county Judge West defeated Towner by 1300 votes. Richard Melrose defeated Miller for the assembly by 900 votes. The Travel section of the Ebell met on Saturday last at the residence of Mrs. Pearson. The meeting was called to order by Mrs. Spencer. Roll call was answered with facts concerning Constantinople. After a brief business meeting the following program was rendered: Origin of Venice, Mrs. Storm; Venice at Night, Mrs. Dyer; a paper, The Rialto, Mrs. Thompson; The Grand Canal, Mrs. Rehwoldt; paper The Council of Ten, Mrs. Gates; St. Mark's Cathedral, Mrs. Spake; The Venetian Square, Mrs. Rose; A Gondola Ride, Mrs. Dutton; Reading of the Lecture on Constantinople begun; Readers, Mesdames Dyer, Pearson and Rehwoldt. Critic's report, Mrs. Dyer. The club was then addressed by Misses Updyke and Mitchell, representing the Stoddard lectures. The club adjourned to meet at the residence of Mrs. Urges Sportsmen To Recover Fowl Pointing out the tremendous annual wastage in ducks and geese crippled or killed during the open shooting seasons and never recovered, W. C. Henderson, associate chief of the bureau of biological survey, U. S. department of agriculture, in a statement on behalf of both the advisory board, migratory bird treaty act, and the bureau, urged American sportsmen to unite in a campaign to reduce these losses. The statement follows: "Authorities estimate that for every two ducks killed and brought to bag at least one bird is crippled and probably lost. This becomes appalling when it is realized that probably 15,000,000 ducks are counted into the bags of American gunners each season. It means that at least 7,500,000 birds are crippled and lost. They are not included in the gunner's bag, and they are not included in the numbers of birds that return north to rear young. In such cases the stock of breeding birds is thus seriously decreased without any resulting benefit, except to the creatures that prey on the unfortunate cripples." "The picture is not a pleasant one. However, most of this inhumane and wasteful crippling can be prevented if gunners will refrain from shooting at birds at long range, and from using ehotguns of a gauge too small to be effective." Roll call was answered with facts concerning Constantinople. After a brief business meeting the following program was rendered: Origin of Venice, Mrs. Storm; Venice at Night, Mrs. Dyer; a paper, The Rialto, Mrs. Thompson; The Grand Canal, Mrs. Rehwoldt; paper The Council of Ten, Mrs. Gates; St. Mark's Cathedral, Mrs. Spake; The Venetian Square, Mrs. Rose; A Gondola Ride, Mrs. Dutton; Reading of the Lecture on Constantinople begun: Readers, Mesdames Dyer, Pearson and Rehwoldt. Critic's report, Mrs. Dyer. The club was then addressed by Misses Updyke and Mitchell, representing the Stoddard lectures. The club adjourned to meet at the residence of Mrs. Nagel on Saturday, Nov. 14, at 2:30 p.m. This section whose membership is limited to twenty now numbers seventeen. Alex Henry rejoices in the election of Taft along with all good Republicans. He states the reason he did not have his cannon booming for the great victory was because it blew up when he was celebrating Toga's victory in the sea of Japan. After firing a salute to the Japs, Alex said to the boys: "Let's give a shot for Rojestvinsky!" The cannon seemed to take insult at the idea, says Mr. Henry, and it blew up in a thousand pieces. The steam laundry closed its doors on Saturday. Mrs. Clark who managed the laundry for some weeks past returned to Santa Ana, where she resumed her position with the steam laundry at that place. An opinion prevails that the local establishment has been acquired by the Santa Ana laundry people, and will not be reopened. The laundry was characterized by unfortunate management at the start, and although its original owners strived hard to make it successful, the venture was not a success. An East Broadway citizen wins a year's shaving at a downtown barber shop. He bet that if Bryan was elected 80 per cent of the banks would be closed four months after he took his seat. The barber accepted his wager and when it dawned upon him that the 4th of July occurred four months after March 4th, he gracefully admitted defeat. Anaheim high and Throop Polytechnic will have their first debate on Friday, Nov. 20. The question to be debated is, Resolved, That free trade should be established between the United States and Philippine islands. Throop chose the affirmative and Anaheim will support the negative. Debaters, Raymond Nebelung and Robert McAuley. Mrs. Mary Hatchett, a widely known and revered woman died Saturday evening at the home of her brother-in-law, C. C. Chapman. Her death will be deplored by a wide circle of acquaintances both in California and in the east. Funeral services took place on Monday in Los Angeles and were private. After a lingering illness of many months, Mrs. E. H. Wallop died at her home on Philadelphia street on Saturday. Deceased had been a resident here since 1883. She was a native of Pittsburgh, Penn., and was in her 63rd year. Funeral services were held on Monday. Rev. Mitchell preached the burial service and the Presbyterian choir sang. The pallberers were H. M. Adams, V. U. Simpson, A. L. Lewis, A. S. Bradford, J. B. Rae and W. H. Spake. Decased leaves a husband and four grown children to mourn her loss, Welborn and William Wallop, Mrs. Balfour and First charter application for the formation of a production credit association in the eleventh district of the farm credit administration recently arrived at the offices of the newly established production credit corporation in Berkeley, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Waliberg, who has just received word from Willard D. Ellis, acting president of the corporation. This followed the election of all officers of the new credit agency, except the permanent president, October 4. The production credit corporation, one of the 12 provided by the farm credit act passed by congress last June, makes available the major portion of the capital for the creation of credit associations designed ultimately to be owned by farmer-borrowers themselves and to be a part of the general scheme for extending more liquid credit to agricultural interests. The purpose of these credit associations is to make loans to farmers for the specific purpose of producing and harvesting crops, breeding, raising and fattening of livestock and production of livestock and cattle products. The Berkeley corporation is capitalized for $7,500,000. Ten or more responsible farmers may form an association in a farming district and apply for a charter which is granted by Governor Morganthau of the farm credit administration. Such association discount members' notes with the intermediate credit bank of the district. Members are required to own stock in their association equal in block value of $5 for every $100 borrowed from it. Interest rates will be determined by the existing discount rate of the federal intermediate credit bank handling local associations' paper. The cooperative system followed is essentially the same as the relationship between land banks and farm loan associations. The federal land bank had closed loans for the month of September to the total amount of $2,006,400 in the four states of the district — California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. Of these loans, 204 were land bank loans to the amount of $1,419,100 and 262 were land bank commissioner loans totalling $536,300. The total of loans more than doubles the similar loans made in the months of June, July and August, aggregating $882,000 and represents the speeding up of the land bank's activities through the emergency training of a large corps of appraisers, numbering over 290. During September 2001 applications After a lingering illness of many months, Mrs. E. H. Wallop died at her home on Philadelphia street on Saturday. Deceased had been a resident here since 1883. She was a native of Pittsburgh, Penn., and was in her 63rd year. Funeral services were held on Monday. Rev. Mitchell preached the burial service and the Presbyterian choir sang. The pallberers were H. M. Adams, V. U. Simpson, A. L. Lewis, A. S. Bradford, J. B. Rae and W. H. Spake. Deceased leaves a husband and four grown children to mourn her loss, Welborn and William Wallop, Mrs. Balfour and Miss Edith Wallop. A West Orangethorpe avenue rancher is ahead a sum of money on Taft’s election. He wagered $100 to $20 with a local resident on the Ohioan and offered $1000 to $200 but found no takers. C. E. Jones returned on Tuesday from Victorville after an absence of two weeks. He reports mining prospects looking brighter, the Gold King being engaged in driving a tunnel which has reached a depth of 200 feet. Levi Mann and wife returned on Monday from Los Angeles, where they have been visiting relatives for the past six weeks. Levi came down to vote for Taft and Gill. He is moving into his new residence on Olive street. B. Mouliot, one of the best known dairy men and farmers of the West country was in town on Monday. He has recently disposed of his large herd of dairy cattle and now intends to take life easy. County Clerk Bry Williams was here on Saturday delivering election supplies. He also visited other precincts in this end of the county on a similar mission. J. M. Barbour, gamekeeper for the Lomita Gun club who was found guilty of malicious mischief in killing a dog belonging to Fred Nelson of Garden Grove, was on Monday sentenced to pay a fine of twenty-five dollars. Mr. and Mrs. Wickett were very happily surprised on Thursday evening by a number of their friends who called to pay their respects upon the 34th anniversary of their wedding. The evening was pleasantly spent in social converse and a bountiful supply of refreshments were discussed. County Recorder Geo. Peters was in town on Monday afternoon on a brief business mission. Tourist Travel Shows Increase Figures filed by the California department of agriculture as a result of actual count at the border gateways show that during September a total of 30,172 out-of-state motor tourists arrived at California through the four southern gateways. Bythe, Daggett, Yuma and Yermo, in 10,401 cars. In announcing the figures, Dan Thomas, managing director of the All-Year club, Southern California’s nonprofit tourist bureau, stated that this is an increase of 10 per cent over the corresponding period of last year. Each out-of-state car arriving at the border is presented with a copy of the All-Year club official guide book showing points of interest in this area and in turn sounds a forest fire prevention warning and a caution against migrating here in search of employment. This latter warning is printed in every All-Year club advertisement carried in Metropolitan newspapers and national magazines. Figures do not include California residents returning by motor from tours elsewhere or local travel across the state line. C.C.C. Speeds Up By Three or More Years Work On California Forests, Watersheds Outstanding Work of Camps Reported In Fire Protection With 100,000 Man-Days Resulting In Less Loss This Year Then Ever Before From Blazes; Recreation Facilities Advanced The predictions of conservationists that plans for the protection and development of the forests and watersheds in California would be speeded up by the Civilian Conservation Corps are confirmed by report of Regional Forester S. B. Show, U. S. Forest Service, in the end of the first enrolment period, ending September 30. In the four months since the 27,000 C.C.C. were transferred to Huntington Art Gallery Showing Rare Documents Events of Past Four Centuries Are Recalled In Special Exhibit Opening November 1 Exciting events in the history of California during the past four centuries are recalled by the new special exhibition of California arranged for the opening of the Huntington Library and Art Gallery, November 1. The ephemeral story of California's colorful past is retold in the exhibit through some of the identical maps, reports, letters, diaries, and pictures on which historians have based their accounts. An entire room in the library is devoted to the display. The exhibit commences with an account of the expedition sent out by Cortez in 1533 and continues with the records of the patrons, among which is a letter in the handwriting of Father Kino, April 26, 1683, in which he says of California: "The land is good, and the temperature pleasant: there is an abundance of fish, wood, birds, stags, rabbits etc." The costumes of Call- Application is Body to be Owned Recreation in the national forests has been advanced by increasing public camp grounds and facilities 20 per cent in the past summer through the clearing and fireproofing of camping areas. The construction of water supply and sanitation systems, and the installation of over 1,000 tables and 100 camp states. Other types of forest conservation accomplished by the CCC consists of poisoning rodents on the 500 acres together with the erosion of those poisonous to livestock on 324 acres across the building of 122 miles of drift fence and 31 miles of stock drive all of which is stock grazing industry. The sugar pine stands of timber have been protected against the spread of the white pine blister rust by these control work on 20,170 acres and 64,270 acres have been covered in control of the western pine beetle. Streamflow has been regulated and erosion prevented on 100,000 acres by the construction of 750 dams. In addition, there is such a need for work as the mating of over 800 posts, building 88 bridges, creating two airplane landing fields, making topographic maps and special surveys together with maintenance work on miles of truck trail 675 miles of road 162 miles of trails and 190 miles of tree breaks. According to Show, the winter enrollment period which will carry over about 60 per cent of the CCC's boys servicing their second hitch, will show even greater accomplishments than the first period. The present winter came up for California as approved from Washington, is as follows: National forests, 95; state division of forestry, 32; the national park serve, 101 state parks, 12. We saw a sandwich man on stilts the other day. Lonesome soul, he was holding a conversation with a man on a ladder washing a second story window. "Where is the nearest bank, porter?" "Bank of America, Boss – that bank is always nearest in California" That's right, "Red Cap!"! Practically anywhere in California—in Eureka amid the tall trees, or Needles on the desert's edge, in Los Angeles of the golden sun or San Francisco by the Golden Gate—here, and in 239 other California cities, Bank of America provides a banking service which has become famous throughout the West. That service, as thousands of Californians will tell you, is complete—metropolitan—and, what is equally as important, visitors find it characterized by a typically western friendliness. { Bank of America will arrange for conversion of the called Fourth 4¼ Liberty Bonds at any branch } BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST & SAVINGS ASSOCIATION
