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 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 1, 1883 The board of town trustees met on Monday and opened the bids tendered for making the new Broadway ditch. The bid of W. M. Bailey was for $125, that of H. L. Paty for $135 and that of J. J. Dyer for $150. On the grounds that the bid of Mr. H. L. Paty was the best the contract was awarded to him, and the clerk was instructed to draw up the specifications for the work. The marshal was instructed to notify property owners on Broadway to remove their buildings and fences to the line of the street. The dissolution of the firm of Goodman & Rimpau is announced today—a firm of such long standing that the name is as familiar as a household word. But we old men must perforce step aside and give our boys a chance to assert themselves and in this particular instance "the boys" are by training, education and natural abilities worthy successors of their elders. Adolph and Fred Rampau need no introduction to those to whom they principally look for patronage as they practically have been here from childhood. They are deserving of the full measure of success which should always attend industry and merit, and we have little doubt that it will be accorded them. Mr. Adolph Rimpau leaves today for San Francisco to purchase a full and complete stock of goods with which to begin their business career. When the curtain rolled up on Thursday evening and revealed "Our boys in social session" the large hall was filled with an audience ready to employ the fun. The feats of tumbling by J. Diaz evoked hearty applause. The big four sang a plantation melody with action and John Landell in an original song and dance made a happy hit. A song and dance by C. Higgins was very neatly done, and the versatile H. van Buren gave a lecture which was replete with local hits and side-splitting absurdities and his effort was warmly encored. J. Hodges sang Irish, Chinese and Dutch songs very effectively. The entertainment concluded with When the curtain rolled up on Thursday evening and revealed "Our boys in social session" the large hall was filled with an audience ready to employ the fun.

Hodges sang Irish, Chinese and Dutch songs very effectively. The entertainment concluded with the farce "Blue Glass, or the Ambitious Students," the principal characters being represented by J. Landell, Van Buren and C. Higgins. All in all the performance was really very superior and the audience was as well entertained as audiences generally are by the best traveling companies. The dance after the performance was participated in by a large number of people and was kept up until a late, or rather an early, hour. The souvenir programmes presented the audience were much admired. The war upon the dreaded phylloxera is still being actively carried on by the French wine growers at the present moment, according to official accounts, about 642,988 hectares of vines are more or less damaged by this scourge, only about 1,500 hectares having escaped. It is noteworthy that the champagne district enjoys almost absolute immunity in this respect. Syndicates representing 12,338 cultivators have been organized throughout the country to try to stay the ravages of the enemy, and the French ministry of agriculture has granted subventions to them this year amounting to 1,240,500 francs in aid of this object. Next year a like amount will be granted. There are many "handsome, dashing caballeros" in Anaheim, but we do not remember to have ever seen them "throw one knee over the crupper" and converse hours while so seated, though Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson says they do in an article in Los Angeles published in the December Century. If we are not mistaken, the crupper of a horse is somewhere in the neighborhood of his tail, hence the impossibility of the feat ascribed to the Dons. But perhaps the lady intended to use the word "pommel" instead of "crupper." Messrs. Sommer and Weil of San Bernardino were in town last week, as the guests of Mr. Gade. During their stay they purchased 80,000 vine cuttings, principally of the zinfandel, malvoisie, berger, Lenoir and other foreign varieties. The well known fact that the vineyard of Anaheim are exempt from all diseases and insect pests accounts for the ever increasing annual demand for cuttings from this place. The dancing party at Kroeger's hall on Friday evening of last week was one of the most successful ever given here, and is worthy of special mention even at this late day. The toilets of the many handsome ladies present were conspiciously rich and graceful, the hall was tastefully decorated and the music was superb. The gentlemen who managed the ball are to be congratulated upon the success of their efforts. Hanna and Keith, real-estate agents, report having made the following sales: L. A. Evans to Wm.

A petition asking congress to erect and maintain government buildings in Los Angeles and for the establishment of a U. S. district court in that city is being circulated by E. J. Pellegrin, and is being largely signed through his efforts. An orange of last year's crop which had been permitted to remain on the tree was left at this office on Thanksgiving day by D. W. Fish. Although it had lost some of its original freshness, it was still a palatable morsel for this time of year. At the meeting of the stockholders in the cemetery association held last Saturday, Messrs. Luedke and Kroeger were appointed to draw up by-laws and report the same at a meeting to be held today. It is proposed to build a schoolhouse in the Placentia district and an election to vote on the issuance of bonds to the amount of $3000 will be held on the 22nd inst. Mr. E. Trunnel of Westminster, who by virtue of raising the finest and fattest turkeys has almost a monopoly of the market, reports an unprecedented demand for those fowls this season. An important meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 85 A. O. U. W. will be held next Monday evening. M. A. Sheffield and daughter Miss Fanny Sheffield arrived from Minnesota last Sunday and will remain here for some time. Anaheim has a blacksmith who does no other work but shoe horses, and he is consequently an expert at it. Mr. Thurman is his name. Asking for bread and getting a stone—wishing for rain and getting a Santa Ana wind. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 3, 1908 The city trustees met on Friday evening: Present Trustees Rust, Fiscus, Stock, Gates and Kroeger. In reference to street paving, committees from the chamber of commerce and the trustees reported that they had decided if the work be undertaken to pave Los Angeles street from Santa Ana street to Sycamore and Center from Olive to Palm. This work will cost $79,000. A district would be formed and all property situate in its boundaries will be subject to assessment. Property owners on the streets paved are to pay 50 per cent of the cost of paving. The balance to be assessed against property owners in the district. This district will be Sycamore street on the north, Orange street on the east, Santa Ana on the south and Citron on the west. The trustees assured the committee that if a majority frontage were secured to petitions asking for paving, the city trustees would inaugurate the work of organizing the district and setting the ball in motion. Petitions are now out and being very favorably received. William Crowther was in town on Monday and said the water bonds recently voted by the Water company will be ready for delivery by the first of the year. The company will sell $275,000 retaining $75,000 in the treasury. The bonds bear 6 per cent. Mr. Crowther say he expects to sell the entire amount to local people, who will be given the first choice at them. Immediately after selling the bonds the water board will take up the matter of erecting a headquarters office in the city, and it is expected that work upon the structure will be under way early in the new year. D. R. Brown and N. W. Rose were at Santa Ana on Saturday paying taxes. When they emerged from the court house they found both their overcoats had been stolen from the automobile which had been left standing in front of the building. There were thousands of gallons daily were crushed. Famed California Wines Available During December State Handed Palm When It Comes To Excellence of Beverages From Grapes California wines, world-famous before prohibition, are again coming into their own. Out in the district between Ontario and San Bernardino lie 15,500 acres of the world's finest grapes, recently harvested. Perhaps 80 per cent of the total are wine grapes, the balance being for table use. Southern California always has been conceded the palm in the production of sweet wines, veteran vintners pointed out, but the growers of the Cucamonga-Guastli district still are unwilling to concede that central and northern California raise the finest dry wines. Joseph Aime, superintendent of the Italian Vineyard Co. at Guasti, recalled that California wines, after being disqualified on a technicality, were adjudged the finest vintage entered in the Paris exposition in 1900. The disqualification by the French Judges, he said, was because the Golden State's wines bore the "misleading" labels of Sauterne type, Burgundy type, Moselle type—wines the French claimed were peculiar to those particular districts of France. The Italian Vineyard Co., founded by Secundo Guastli, incidentally owns the largest single vineyard in the world, 5000 acres. In its immense storage vats, holding more than 6,000,000 gallons, are wines loved by the connoisseur—Sauterne, Chablis and Riesling among the white vintages; Burgundy, Claret and Zinfandel in the red dry wines, and Port, Sherry, Muscatel and Angelien among the sweet wines. retaining $75,000 in the treasury. The bonds bear 6 per cent. Mr. Crowther say he expects to sell the entire amount to local people, who will be given the first choice at them. Immediately after selling the bonds the water board will take up the matter of erecting a headquarters office in the city, and it is expected that work upon the structure will be under way early in the new year. D. R. Brown and N. W. Rose were at Santa Ana on Saturday paying taxes. When they emerged from the court house they found both their overcoats had been stolen from the automobile which had been left standing in front of the building. They reported their loss to the Santa Ana marshal, who expressed regret at the occurrence, saying it would give the town a bad reputation. Stern & Goodman’s store at Fullerton was robbed some time during Sunday night and $400 taken from the cashier’s desk. It is believed some one familiar with the interior was implicated in the deed. The case is in the hands of Sheriff Lacy and he is doing his best to run down the bold till-tappers. The Beebe-Weisel company report the following sales of automobiles: Four-cylinder Moline roadster to Chris Paulsen; Chalmers Detroit touring car to Sam Kraemer; Chalmers Detroit touring car to A. H. Baston of Placentia. Dirt will be flying in a few days along both sides of the new channel of the Santa Ana river from the Santa Ana sewer farm to the head of the Talbert drainage ditch. This is the expectation of the committee that has had in charge the securing of the right way. The river-channel promoters were before the supervisors on Monday and received the $4000 promised when the committee had secured the right way. It will be used in building dikes for the purpose of protecting county roads from overflow. Incidentally and just as important is the fact that the dikes will prevent overflow upon rich lands. Gerald Sandilands shipped the first carload of oranges for the Independent association on Tuesday. The first goes to Little Rock, Ark. It is well colored and of good size. Mr. Sandilands will ship six cars this week and expects to handle a large number of cars of superior fruit during the season. Walter Korn was in town this week from Corona visiting with friends. He shows no ill effects of his recent engagement with a 22-calibre cartridge which exploded in his pipe. While out hunting he filled his pipe with tobacco, and in some way gathered the cartridge with the tobacco, which he took from his pocket. After applying a match, the cartridge exploded, but apart from shattering the pipe and causing a shock to the nerves, did no damage. F. W. Fleischman has assumed control of the City Meat Market and installed Wm. Cooper of Long Beach as manager. Mr. Fleischman is preparing a notable display of Christmas meats and sausages. The market will be maintained up to its former high standard, and customers will be served with the choicest cuts of beef, mutton and pork. The engagement is announced of Richard Fischle, the popular West Anaheim grocer to Miss Elizabeth Whitfield, a pretty New York girl, who arrived here some weeks ago on a visit to friends. particular districts of France. The Italian Vineyard Co., founded by Secundo Guastl, incidentally owns the largest single vineyard in the world, 5000 acres. In its immense storage vats, holding more than 6,000,000 gallons, are wines loved by the connoisseur—Sauterne, Chablis and Riesling among the white vintages; Burgundy, Claret and Zinfandel in the red dry wines, and Port, Sherry, Muscatel and Angelien among the sweet wines. Thousands of gallons daily were crushed. Steady streams of "vin rouge" poured from immense fire-hoses into fermenting vats, where sugar content and temperature were measured several times each day. The temperature of wine jumps rapidly once fermentation begins. To prevent killing yeast organisms, the wine is pumped into huge concrete vats where refrigeration equipment brings the temperature down to 60 degrees. Within a week, fermentation has ceased and the wine is pumped through miles of pipe and hose into the storage tanks. The residue at the bottom of the tanks is destroyed in the presence of inspectors of the internal revenue bureau, for every gallon of wine manufactured must be accounted for and the tax paid accordingly. When Fruit Industries, Inc., was organized by the federal farm board to aid the grape grower in disposing of surplus crops, millions of gallons of concentrate were manufactured for sale at retail. The demand declined with the depression, and the Italian Vineyard Co., for one, found itself with more than a million gallons of concentrate on hand. All was not lost. The last of the concentrate has been distilled into brandy, and 1,000,000 gallons of it now repose in government bonded warehouses, where it must age for the next four years. And while the brandy is under seal for lengthy periods, it still is a tremendous asset to the vineyardist. Banks will loan sums on the warehouse receipts to keep the wineries going. There are five wineries in the Cucamonga-Guastl district handling the 15,500 acres of grapes. The second largest is the Val Brothers plant, with a capacity of 1,600,000 gallons. For those who like champagne, there is plenty on hand for sale, vineyardists hope, around Christmas time. In a huge underground vault, the Italian Vineyard Co., has 60,000 bottles of the rparkling beverage, much of it 10 years or more old. Church Denounces All Necromancies In all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ. F. W. Fleischman has assumed control of the City Meat Market and installed Wm. Cooper of Long Beach as manager. Mr. Fleischman is preparing a notable display of Christmas meats and sausages. The market will be maintained up to its former high standard, and customers will be served with the choicest cuts of beef, mutton and pork. The engagement is announced of Richard Fischle, the popular West Anaheim grocer to Miss Elizabeth Whitfield, a pretty New York girl, who arrived here some weeks ago on a visit to friends. The wedding will occur on December 25. Richard wins a prize in the matrimonial lottery. Mr. Dubble this week received a letter from his son, Rev. Father Dubble, who resides in Denver, saying the weather was the coldest in years. The thermometer registered 10 below zero and the ink froze solid in the inkstand while the letter was being written. Miss Catherine Connell and Miss Antoinette LeRand of Los Angeles were guests of Miss Winifred Melrose the past week. The ladies were members of a party which toured Japan and the Orient two years ago, since which time the friendliest relations exist between them. Miss LeRand has added interest attaching to her in the fact that she will shortly become the bride of a wealthy Los Angeles business man. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Atherton were in town on Friday from their ranch in Placentia. Mr. Atherton states conditions are prosperous over his way, and ideal conditions of country life prevailing on all sides. Allan Knapp entertained a company of nineteen at dinner on Thanksgiving day. Among the guests were Dr. Johnston and family, Mrs. J. B. Johnston and family, Mr. Wickett and family, Miss Balfour and Misses Knapp. Billy Kretschmer was in town on Sunday from Los Angeles visiting with relatives. Billy is engaged as trombone soloist in a city orchestra. Mrs. Koll and Mrs. Adele Browning and daughter were Thanksgiving guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Rust. Rain began falling early yesterday morning and prospects as we go to press are good for a downpour. Church Denounces All Necromancies In all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday denounces ancient and modern necromancy, alias mesmerism and hypnotism. The Golden Text presents the message of God as given to Jeremiah: "I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible." Among the Bible selections in the Lesson-Sermon are the words of Paul to the Ephesians: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Correlative passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, state: "We should become more familiar with good than with evil, and guard against false beliefs as watchfully as we bar our doors against the approach of thieves and murderers... You must control evil thoughts in the first instance, or they will control you in the second." Watchman Snoozes As Store Held Up While his watchman slept in the next room, C. G. Taylor, Salt Lake City grocer, was robbed of $33.79 by three "customers." Completing the robbery, the three men calmly walked out. And Tony Drakopolous, watchman, a gun at his bedside, peacefully slept.

If the ration is deficient in any of the vitamins needed by poultry, poor egg production is certain to result. The present list of known vitamins includes: A, B, C, D, E, and G. Vitamin A—Nutritional roup is the usual symptom associated with vitamin A deficiency. This disease resembles common roup, but differs in certain respects and is not infectious. There is danger of it when yellow corn (which is a good source of vitamin A) is completely replaced by white corn, or wheat, barley or oat meals, unless such foods as cod-liver oil, alfalfa meal, yellow corn or green feeds are added in sufficient amounts. Any ration containing 5% of dehydrated alfalfa leaf meal, usually contains enough vitamin A to prevent the deficiency disease. Cod-liver oil is one of the most potent sources of this vitamin. Vitamin B—Certain nervous disorders and also a loss of weight and vigor, constipation, and even starvation and death may result from a lack of vitamin B. However, this vitamin is carried by wheat, corn, wheat middlings, wheat bran, hominy feed and skim milk. As most laying rations contain considerable amounts of these grains and grain by-products, special vitamin B feeds rarely, if ever, need to be given. Vitamin C—It is probable that vitamin C is not needed by poultry although it is essential for human beings. It is contained in ample amounts in cabbage, lettuce, and green alfalfa. Vitamin D—Vitamin D aids in normal bone development and prevents rachitec leg weakness. A deficiency of it will modern day cattle rustlers, though there be but a few of them left, have resorted to the most up-to-date equipment to facilitate their stealing but, as yet, they have not found a successful route to circumvent the radio and the teletype, and that is one of the reasons the number of cattle thefts have been kept at a low figure in California despite the depression. That is the opinion expressed today by Arthur Hebbron, secretary of the cattle protection service, division of animal industry, state department of agriculture, himself a veteran of the ranges of California, Arizona and Texas, and one of the best known brand experts in all the west. In the old days the bold, bad men of the mesas sought refuge in the hills, Hebbron said, and only brought forth their bovine loot at a time when the original owners were likely not to be watching. Nowadays the technique requires the use of fast motor vans, sometimes an entire fleet, so that the stolen animals may be whisked at night over the paved roads from one end of the state to the other before the owner realizes that his herd has been plundered, he added. But even the fastest cars and the cleverest thieves can't outwit the radio and the teletype, Hebbron said, and the web of information cast over the state by those two modern scientific crime detection aids makes it increasingly difficult for the range marauders to find a market for stolen stock. Although California has nearly 1,500,-000 range cattle within its borders, mostly Herefords, Shorthorns and Polled Angus, Merced, Presno and Kern being the leading beef cattle counties, total cattle theft convictions in the last two years has been more than 50.

As most laying rations contain considerable amounts of these grains and grain by-products, special vitamin B feeds rarely, if ever, need to be given. Vitamin C—It is probable that vit-min C is not needed by poultry although it is essential for human beings. It is contained in ample amounts in cabbage, lettuce, and green alfalfa. Vitamin D—Vitamin D aids in normal bone development and prevents rachitic leg weakness. A deficiency of it will lower winter egg production. Cod-liver oil is the most commonly used source of this vitamin. Other sources are direct sunlight (not through common glass which absorbs the effective rays), ultra-violet irradiation, and some fish oils. Oils used in poultry feeding vary greatly in their vitamin D potency. Biologically tested, fortified cod-liver oil is preferred because its high and known vitamin D potency insures complete protection. Vitamin E—Vitamin E is the anti-sterility vitamin. Hens fed on rations deficient in it lay eggs that hatch poorly. It is contained in most substances fed to poultry so that little attention need be paid to this factor except under very unusual circumstances. Vitamin G—Vitamin G is essential to growth and the prevention of pellagra. It is ordinarily supplied in sufficient amounts in rations containing dried skim milk, dried buttermilk, dried whey, cotton seed and cotton seed meal, alfalfa leaf meal, and extracted soy bean meal. Dried whey and dried skim milk are very potent sources. Shiny Dimes For Cops Finding Car The famed millionaire John D. Rockefeller is not the only person who hands out shiny dimes as tokens of gratitude. Traffic Officer T. B. Burbidge of Salt Lake City learned. A tourist whose name was not learned appealed to police to recover his stolen automobile. "I'll bet you find it right where you parked it," Officer Burbidge said jokingly. "I don't wager," replied the stranger, "but your traffic department will be amply repaid if the car is recovered." After an hour's hunt it was located just where the tourist had parked it. Each officer on the force was presented with a shiny dime. FOOTBALL! FEARN ELECTRIC RADIO SHOP 278 E.
