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 15, 1883 At the general meeting of stockholders of the Anaheim Water company held last Saturday, Messrs. Scott and Keith were appointed a committee to confer with a committee from the North Anaheim Canal company regarding a consolidation of companies or a compromise of difficulties existing between them. The N. A. company appointed as its committee Messrs. McFadden, Crowther, Browning, Hunter and Staley. The committees met and agreed that a new company shall be organized to be known as the Anaheim Union Water company with a capital stock of 12,000 shares at $100 each. The agreement was signed by Richard Melrose, chairman, Ernest Browning, secretary, Wm. Crowther, W. M. McFadden, John Hunter, Theodore Staley, F. H. Keith and R. W. Scott. It is also agreed that the office of the new company is to be located in Anaheim. A general meeting of stockholders will probably be called for next Saturday to act upon the agreement. The North Anaheim Canal company meet today in the Placentia school house to vote upon it. Mr. S. L. Chilson is in receipt of a letter from his son Dick, dated, Casa Grande, A. T., December 7th, from which we make the following extracts: "I have struck 4 feet of gold ore that will go $1000 to the ton. I took out $300 worth of gold dust with my pocket knife. I have got two 25 pound boxes full of gold dust, worth about $3000. I have got nuggets of gold, pure gold as large as birds eggs. I sunk nine feet on the ledge and took out ten tons before I noticed the gold and therefore blasted away several thousand dollars. I have $50,000 in sight. The country is crazy over it. There are clusters of gold as big as dollars sticking all through the ledge. There has been a sale made of one mine near me for $300,000, another four miles from me for $20,000. I declined $16,000 for mine." the following extracts: "I have struck 4 feet of gold ore that will go $1000 to the ton. I took out $300 worth of gold dust with my pocket knife.

I declined $16,000 for mine." The trustees of Riverside having enacted an ordinance requiring liquor dealers to pay a license of $50 per month, one of the saloon keepers advertised his stock of liquor for sale, "for family use," and adds,—"This will save you the inconvenience of taking your demijohn to San Bernardino every time you have a little court house business to attend to (which is done by a great many of our prohibition friends.) Evidently that man is angry. The fact that Helena street has been graded and put in good condition during the week, and the further fact that Mr. Ey, a member of the town trustees resides on that street has given rise to the impression that the work was a piece of favoritism and that it was paid for out of the town treasury. We are requested to say that the work was paid for by private subscription, the property owners along the street being the contributors. A cock fight at San Gabriel last Sunday between a Los Angeles and a San Gabriel bird was won by the latter, to the financial discomfort of the city bird's backers. Tomorrow a fight between a wildcat and a dog will come off at Arroyo Seco, near Los Angeles, to which all are invited. These be elevating amusements. A delegation of fifteen Anaheimers went to Santa Ana on Thursday to witness the test of the Climax Fire Extinguisher. The report that they brought back was decidedly unfavorable to the merits of the machine, and it is probable that the Fire Commissioners of Santa Ana will not purchase it, while it is certain that Anaheim commissioners will not. I. Yaeger has at his shop on Center street a two-seated family wagon and a top buggy which must either be sold during the week or shipped back to Los Angeles, as the room which they occupy in the shop is needed for another bench. The maker rather than have them returned has instructed Mr. Yeager to sell them at a greatly reduced price. Call and examine them and you will undoubtedly purchase. While the weeds were being burned on a farm at Westminster last week, the flames got beyond control and did considerable damage to fences, besides scorching the corn which had been gathered from forty acres. The little four-year-old son of F. A. Saxon, at Savannah, while playing with matches last Sunday, set fire to his father's new barn, which contained seventeen tons of hay. The barn and contents were a total loss. The insurance expired last Saturday. Mr. Adolph Rimpau and Mr. Goodman returned from San Francisco on Wednesday. Mr. Rimpau's purchases are now being paving, even embracing almost of the districterty to pay for interests. The cost against profit not in favor of chamber of commerce report at that While the weeds were being burned on a farm at Westminster last week, the flames got beyond control and did considerable damage to fences, besides scorching the corn which had been gathered from forty acres. The little four-year-old son of F. A. Saxon, at Savannah, while playing with matches last Sunday, set fire to his father's new barn, which contained seventeen tons of hay. The barn and contents were a total loss. The insurance expired last Saturday. Mr. Adolph Rimpau and Mr. Goodman returned from San Francisco on Wednesday. Mr. Rimpau's purchases are now being unpacked, and comprise an assortment of goods which give evidence of his skill as a buyer. Read the new advertisement of Rimpau Bros. Mr. J. A. Whitaker and daughter and Mrs. E. A. Foster of Chicago are stopping at the Planters hotel and will remain here for some weeks. Mr. Whitaker is better pleased with Anaheim than with any other part of California. Articles of incorporation of the Second Presbyterian Church of Anaheim have been filed with the county clerk, with the following incorporators: Sergio Acuna, Pascual Silva, F. H. Robinson, T. S. Grimshaw and J. M. Roberts, all of Anaheim. There is a very decided increase in the number of inquiries for land, and there are other evidences tending to show that the area of uncultivated land about Anaheim will be considerably decreased in a short time. No place in all California has greater natural advantages than this, and they are beginning to assert themselves. Dr. Sketchley, superintendent of the Ostrich farm, is in San Francisco and in the meantime the birds are being cared for by Mr. Dwight Whiting, a director of the company and an experienced ostrich farmer. The enterprising proprietor of the San Francisco Cash Store, in addition to marking the prices of his goods away down, gives a handsome present to every purchaser of five dollars worth of goods. A patent has been granted to F. Eaton of Los Angeles for an invention for protecting iron water pipes from rust. L. H. Titus of San Gabriel has received a patent for a portable ladder for gathering fruit. S OF LONG AGO ry and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Ploneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 17, 1908 Col. W. G. Schreiber of Los Angeles, commanding the Seventh regiment, N. G. C. was in Anaheim on Saturday, inspecting property belonging to Company E, which for some time past seems to have been without a recognized head. The state's property is under control of Capt. Stern (retired) whose successor has not yet been chosen. Col Schreiber announced that a call for a second election for Captain had been called for Jan. 7, 1909, and that unless a Captain is chosen at that time the company will be mustered out. The company has one of the best military records in the state militia. It served twice in San Francisco, once in the fire of April, 1906 and again in the riots incident to the carmen's strike. Many of its members were at the Precidio with the seventh regiment in the days of the Spanish war, and at least one of their number (Capt. Halpin) is now in the regular army, being a lieutenant in the infantry arm of the service. An effort will be made to have an election at the time called for it and a capable officer chosen to again take up its guidance. A number of property owners on Center and Los Angeles streets announces this week that they will not sign for street paving, even though half the cost be assessed against the district embracing almost the entire city. Other property owners resident of the district declare they will fight the assessment of their property to pay for paving streets in which they have no property interests. They declare the way to pave is to assess the whole cost against property on the streets paved. Other citizens are not in favor of paving until sewers are built. Committees of the chamber of commerce are at work soliciting signatures, and will report at that body's next meeting. The installation of the newly elected and appointed officers of Chispa Chapter No. 151 Order of Eastern Star occurred last Mudlark Getting Good Workout In Large Rice Field Tractor With 4000-Pound Pay Load Creeps Over Water-Soaked Surface Add to the farmers' vocabulary a new word, the "Mudlark." With a 4000-pound pay load, a "mudlark" recently crept over the water-soaked surface of an Imperial valley rice field and sank only two inches. Invention of the "mudlark" is credited to Dr. H. T. Cory and Harley Hunick, who are testing their device in an attempt to aid rice growers of Imperial valley. Dr. Cory said: "With this machine ranchers will be able to harvest their rice crops without waiting for the water to drain and the land to dry, which has in the past involved considerable loss. "The 'mudlark' leaves no ruts in the fields, so that it will be possible to sow another crop without delay." The device "walks" on two three-foot treads made of cloth conveyor belting, giving it a bearing surface of about 50 square feet. The machine experiments showed, does not slip on the water-logged surface and can be turned in any direction easily. Recent tests of the machine were viewed by directors of the Imperial irrigation district, representatives of the agricultural experiment stations and the farm bureau. Additional "mudlarks" are to be built with a third tread and will be able to carry a load of five tons, Dr. Cory said. Dr. Cory stated his experiments with the new form of tractor after making a survey of "desaiting" water-soaked land by planting rice. He found that the crop was hard to plant and harvest. That led to the building of the "mudlark." paving, even though half the cost be assessed against the district embracing almost the entire city.

The public drinking fountain erected by the W. C. T. U. on East Center street near the First National Bank will be completed this week and will be ready to quench the thirst of the passing wayfarer. The fountain is of artificial stone standing eight feet in height and has four archways above the two drinking places, which may be approached from street or sidewalk. The stone is from the yards of Gardner & Co., and the work of erecting the fountain was performed by B. J. Primmer of Garden Grove. Mrs. Adolph Rimpau entertained the ladies' euchre club on Thursday afternoon at her home on East Center street, when a pleasant time was spent by those present.

Additional "mudlarks" are to be built with a third tread and will be able to carry a load of five tons, Dr. Cory said. Dr. Cory stated his experiments with the new form of tractor after making a survey of "desilting" water-soaked land by planting rice. He found that the crop was hard to plant and harvest. That led to the building of the "mudlark." Modesto Thankful; Cold Nips Nudists Only impending winter prevented Modesto's Knights Ferry residents from worrying about a nudist colony in their midst. According to word received, a group of city folks spend their week ends near Knights Ferry and recently started sun bathing. At first the women wore conventional bathing suits. Then they switched to skimpy two-piece affairs, with a void of skin between upper and nether portions. Next, an irrigation ditch tender came upon three women who wore just simply nothing. However, village residents decided with relief this sort of thing won't go on much longer.

Major phases of the bee business, which state department of agriculture officials have estimated is followed by nearly 14,000 apiarists in the state, involving nearly 400,000 colonies of bees and about 20,000,000 pounds of honey produced in California during 1932, will be discussed by experts while the more practical side of the problems involved will be discussed by leading beekeepers and honey producers. The convention will be called to order Tuesday morning, December 12, by President George J. Triphon of North Sacramento. The association's financial report will be read by Cary W. Hartman secretary, of Oakland. Following discussion of the subject "Eight Thousand Miles Among the Beekeepers of the United States" by C. E. Lush. Vice-President of the association, of Orange, committees will be appointed and an open forum held. Cooperative Data At Modesto Meet The latest information on cooperative marketing agreements now being established by the federal government will be given California growers at the state convention of fruit growers and farmers to be held December 13 and 14 at Modesto. The biggest attendance in the history of the conclave is expected. Imperial County Is Leader With Truck Gardeners Maine Commonwealth Takes First In Nation As Result of Big Potato Production Imperial county, California, ranks second in the first 70 counties of the nation producing vegetables and is entitled to first place if potatoes are not considered, a digest of a U.S. census bureau report prepared by the state department of agriculture shows. Aroostook county, Maine, ranks first but $48,109,727 of the $48,271,917 set as the value of all Aroostook county vegetable crops was represented entirely by potatoes, the report shows. Imperial county, however, produced almost no potatoes for sale and home use, the figure being a crop value of only $188 for potatoes and $11,148 for sweet potatoes, the analysis reveals. Also included in the first seventy counties are nine other California counties: Los Angeles, San Joaquin, Monterey, Sacramento, Solano, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Riverside and San Diego. JAMMED STARTER Misalignment of the starter shaft or broken teeth on the flywheel ring-gear are usually the cause of the starter "jamming," according to the emergency service department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Pressing the starter pedal while the motor is running will cause either of these conditions. HOW WOMEN CAN WIN MEN AND MEN WIN The Favor of Other Men Unless two pints of bile juice flow daily from your liver into your bowels, your food decays in your bowels. This poisons your whole body. Movements get hard and constipated. You get yellow tongue, yellow skin, pimples, dull eyes, bad breath, bad taste, gas, dizziness, headache. You have become an ugly-looking, foul-smelling, sour-thinking person. You have lost your personal charm. Everybody wants to run from you. But don't take salts, mineral waters, oils, laxative pills, laxative candies or chewing gums and expect them to get rid of this poison that destroys your personal charm. They can't do it, for they only move out the tail end of your bowels and that doesn't take away enough of the decayed poison. Cosmetics won't help at all. Only a free flow of your bile juice will stop this decay poison in your bowels. The one mild vegetable medicine which starts a free flow of your bile juice is Carter's Little Liver Pills. No calomel (mercury) in Carter's. Only fine, mild vegetable extracts. If you would bring back your personal charm to win men, start taking Carter's Little Liver Pills according to directions today. 25¢ at drug stores. Refuse "something just as good" for it may gripe, loosen teeth or scald rectum. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills by name and get what you ask for. ©1933, C.M.Co.
