IN THE DAYS OF 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 5, 1884 The committees of the Anaheim and North Anaheim Water companies had a long session on Wednesday and agreed upon a basis of consolidation. This agreement will be submitted to the stockholders of both companies at separate meetings and if ratified by them it provides that they shall be submitted to an attorney who will draft articles of incorporation in accordance with the agreement, and the offices of the respective companies are empowered to sign them forthwith. The by-laws as agreed upon by the committee must be adopted by the stockholders of the new company after the articles of incorporation are filed. The agreement and by-laws will be published in the Gazette next week and the A. W. company will meet on the Tuesday or Wednesday following to act upon them. Although several members of the committees were opposed to consolidation when it was first broached it is worthy of remark that that each one is now in favor of the measure and recommend that the stockholders ratify the agreement. The ball given by Confidence Fire company on New Year's eve, was remarkably successful in every respect, and was a decided triumph over adverse circumstances. The ball was so cleaned, decorated and improved that it answered the purpose admirably, and Prof. Hinton's assistance in the management of affairs contributed in no slight degree to the pleasure of the evening. As the clock struck low twelve, the advent of leap year was formally announced, and the scepter of authority was transferred to the ladies. A large company of brave women and fair men did not disperse until an early hour on Tuesday morning. The Hancock reception in Los Angeles was a successful one, if success is to be gauged by the number of people attracted to the city by the pomp and circumstance of the procession. If the com- The Hancock reception in Los Angeles was a successful one, if success is to be gauged by the number of people attracted to the city by the pomp and circumstance of the procession. If the comments of the Republican are based on facts, it is to be inferred that the Democratic politicians seized upon the occasion to air themselves and their opinions, and gave to the reception a political significance which it ought not to have had, and which was in exceedingly bad taste. Another paper finds fault because the position assigned to the G. A. R. in the procession was well to the rear. The greatest desideratum in a newspaper office is a foreman who can put every man's advertisement at the top of the column and next to reading matter. This is not a more difficult feat than assigning to different organizations positions in a procession and pleasing them all. The post of honor is in the van, but somebody must bring up the rear. Let it hereafter be understood that a procession is like a tape-worm—all head, and perhaps one fruitful cause of offense will disappear. Magnolia Council No. 94, O. C. F., has elected the following officers: Wm. M. McFadden, C. C.; S. W. Bryden, V. C.; A. W. Steinhart, secretary; Theo Rimpau, treasurer; Mrs. M. A. Bryden, Prelate; E. A. White, Marshal; Mrs. J. E. Leonard, Warden; Mrs. S. J. McFadden, guard; C. E. Leonard, sentry; C. Hilmer, Theo Rimpau, C. E. Leonard, trustees; C. E. Leonard, representative to Grand Council. Dr. James Ellis, medical examiner. The installation will take place on the 12inst. Better land can be had in Anaheim for $100 per acre than can be had in other parts of the county for $300. Why? There is not a man, woman or child in the community that does not know why. Shall we keep on in the same old rut, or shall we venture upon a fresh track? That is the question to be answered by the vote upon the consolidation of the water companies. The names of the high contracting parties in the annexed item from the Republican are familiar. Can it be that they are our Anaheim folks? "About 8 o'clock last evening two happy souls were united in holy matrimony by Justice Ling. Their names were J. C. Mauerhan and Esther Schultz, and the scene of the nuptials was the parlors of Bob Eckert's establishment which were beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreens. Champagne and sumptuous supper followed which was participated in by over twenty invited guests. The real estate firm of Hanna & Keith have removed their office to the building adjoining the Anaheim hotel. The change is made in anticipation of the rush of settlers which will inevitably follow the settlement of the water question. The office is resplendent with wall paper and matting of aesthetic patterns and were it not for the uncouth presence of the gentlemen it could easily be mistaken for an editor's boudoir.

The change is made in anticipation of the rush of settlers which will inevitably follow the settlement of the water question. The office is resplendent with wall paper and matting of aesthetic patterns and were it not for the uncouth presence of the gentlemen it could easily be mistaken for an editor's boudoir. The Board of Town Trustees met in regular session on Wednesday, and only routine business was transacted. The committee of public improvement was instructed to report upon the cost of a plank sidewalk to the railroad depot. The regular meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 207 F and A. M. will be held on next Monday evening. The installation of the officers of the lodge will be held on the 15th instant, and the ceremony will be conducted by Grand Master Hines. The sales of real estate in Los Angeles county in 1882 amounted to $6,393,139, and in 1883 to $9,148,131. Those figures however, do not represent the actual cash transactions, as many of the deeds express only nominal considerations. There is, therefore, little of value in these statistics. Dancing school will meet in future at the Planters hotel, Mr. Knapp having generously placed his dining room at the disposal of the class. All needful accommodations will be provided downstairs, so as not to intrude on other portions of the house. The marriage of Judge Sepulveda on the 12th of last month to Miss Erlinda de la Guerra of San Buena Ventura seems to have been a very quiet affair as the news of the ceremony has not been generally circulated in the county. Miss de la Guerra is a scion of one of the oldest families in Southern California and an amiable lady. The trip of the Judge to Mexico turns out to be his bridal tour. This is leap year. It is so called because it leaps forward a day as compared with an ordinary year. This is a very important bit of information and is not original. Gray & Haven have sold to J. B. Pierce the 35 acres of land known as the Rand tract south of town for $1250. S OF LONG AGO January 7, 1909 District Attorney Davis has given notice to every gun club with land in the county that unless the law regulating the flow of artesian wells is strictly obeyed, he will enforce the ordinance. Under this law all artesian wells must be equipped with a device to regulate the flow and anyone allowing water to go to waste is deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. It is reported that at several hundred wells the law has been violated. The Painter five-acre walnut grove near town has been sold to a new comer, Frank Bowen for $3500. The Staublin twenty-acre place, two miles southeast of town, partly improved, has been sold to the Misses Wheeler, recently from Ohio for $3500. The place will be set to valencia late oranges. F. A. Reynolds has sold his unimproved twenty acre place two miles south of town to J. T. Thorkelsen of Los Angeles for $4500. The new owner will set ten acres to oranges. John Ells has transferred his ten-acre place near town to Galen McDivitt from North Dakota for $3500. Five acres are in bearing walnuts and five will be set to oranges. Eighteen names of citizens were selected by the chamber of commerce on Monday evening for submission at the annual meeting to be held Monday evening, January 25th. From the list seven directors will be chosen to serve during the ensuing year. The names are as follows: J. P. Hatzfeld, A. A. Mills, P. J. Weisel, Frank Baum, Dr. John Boege, Hans Weisel, H. A. Dickel, Fred Rimpau, Fred Backs, Wm. Falkenstein, L. E. Miller, A. Nagel, George Lawton, Oswald Fulde, C. R. Sumner, E. E. Angell. The annual banquet will be served at Odd Fellows hall on Friday evening, January 29th. The feast will be prepared by Bobby Mills, whose fame as a chef is known far and wide. Preparations will be made to serve 150 guests, among them being a delegation from Santa Ana chamber of commerce. Early California, in the days of the open range and primitive law enforcement, had its cattle rustlers. Modern California has the cattle rustler brought up-to-date, operated with fast motor trucks and the protection of gangs and gang lawyers. The organized cattle thieves of today may lack the glamour of the rustlers yesterday, but they make up in efficiency and wholesale depredations when they lack in romantic color. California livestock men, although they still suffer from the thefts of the organized gangs, have succeeded materially reducing losses by securing the enactment of more stringent legislation to safeguard the industry, and appearing in opposition to probation for such thieves. But the fruit and poultry industries are suffering constantly increasing losses as a result of the operations these modern day outlaws. The situation has become so serious that there is already developing an insistent demand that the next session of the Legislature tighten up the law and impose heavier penalties on those convicted of preying on the farmer. There are several weaknesses and discrepancies in the present penal code which protect this class of criminals and make it exceedingly difficult for the farmer—especially the orchardist and the poultryman—to combat gangs thieves. For example, the theft of a horse or a cow, a mule, a hog, or even a suckling pig, regardless of its value, is defined in the present code as "grand theft." At a special meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 207 F. and A. M. held on Monday evening, January 4th, the following officers were installed for the ensuing year: Chester E. Holcomb, W. M.; A. L. Porter, S. W.; J. A. Knapp, J. W.; I. Asher, treasurer; Joseph Helmsen, secretary; W. T. Wallop, S. D.; P. J. Weisel, J. D.; S. Holman, chaplain; W. O. F. Schwenckert, marshal; H. M. Adams, steward; B. V. Beebe, Steward; E. Barr, Tyler; Past Master W. H. Spake acted as installing officer and W. M. Rose as marshal. The installation was public with members of Chispa chapter No. 151, O. E. S. present. An elaborate banquet was enjoyed. Members from Santa Ana, Fullerton and sourrounding towns were in attendance. It was one of the most enjoyable meetings held in many years. Among those present from Santa Ana were Postmaster Shaw, County Clerk W. B. Williams and County Recorder Peters. The graduating class of 1905 of the Anaheim High School held its fourth annual reunion Monday evening, Dec. 28, at the home of Miss Clara Fischer on North Lemon street. A fine program was arranged, including a unique prize contest, the prizes awarded being very artistic and beautiful. After a general discussion of the history of the class, all present gathered around the banquet table, which was beautifully decorated with the class colors, and partook of the many delicious dishes elaborately prepared by the hostess. The class of 1905 takes great pride in itself as being the only graduating class from the local high school which has an annual roll call in memory of its old school days. Owing to absence from their homes, many of the class members were unable to attend. Those present were Miss Clara Fischer, Miss Elsa Christen, Mrs. Elsie Borth, Frank Borth, Mrs. Elsie Skinner, Herman Christensen, Julius Schwentker and Leonard Evans. After having spent a delightful evening and fully appreciating the efforts of the hostess in making possible such royal entertainment, all departed declaring it the best ever. H. H. Hale, the well-known Placentia orchardist, was married in San Diego on Tuesday, December 22nd to Miss Bertha Keading, an accomplished young lady who for some years past has made her home in Placentia. Mr. Hale stole away to the Southern city with his bride-elect, seeking to keep the truth of the happy event from his many friends as long as possible. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Elizah Watson, formerly a resident of Fullerton. Here's long life and happiness to Harry Hale, one of the squarest men in Orange county and his bride. May they live long and prosper. Alamitos ranch, 7,000 acres, immediately adjoining Bay City is being stocked by the owner, I. W. Hellman, with fine cattle and sheep. The lease having expired, Hellman contemplates becoming heavier penalties on those convicted preying on the farmer. There are several weaknesses and discrepancies in the present penal code which protect this class of criminals and make it exceedingly difficult for the farmer—especially the orchardist and the poultryman—to combat gangs and thieves. For example, the theft of a horse or a cow, a mule, a hog, or even a suckling pig, regardless of its value, is defined in the present code as "grand theft" punishable by a term of from one to two years in State's prison. The stiffness of that penalty has been a real protection to the livestock industry. But the same gangs of thieves can operate with comparative immunity stealing from fruit growers and poultrymen, due to the fact that such thefts unless their loot exceeds $200 in value are classed under the penal code as "petty thefts." The penalty for petty theft is a maximum fine of $500, or a maximum county jail sentence of six months, with fines being the usual order of the day. In effect, the fines are nothing less than a "tax to do business." There is an even more serious loop hole in the present law, namely the fact that a man's past crimes dq not count against him in Court unless he has served a jail sentence. Even if he has served a short time in jail, due to inability to pay his fine, the conviction still does not count against this type of criminal when he comes before the Court for a new offence. He must actually be sentenced to a jail term before it becomes a matter of legal record thereby increasing the seriousness of the second offense. This provision blocks effective action in many cases against the professional thief, and virtually renders null and void the section making it possible to raise the charge to "grand theft," in cases of habitual offenders. Some of the proposals, which have been suggested by harassed fruit growers and poultrymen to strengthen the law, are as follows: 1. An amendment to make any theft of farm produce valued at more than $50 "grand theft." Under the present law only thefts over $200 are so classified. 2. A provision designed to permit the prosecution of an individual on a grand theft charge who is guilty of a series of small thefts, which in total exceed the petty theft limitations. 3. A proviso that any previous conviction, regardless of whether a fine or jail sentence was imposed, shall be counted against an offender. It is still problematical as to what method, or methods, will finally be employed in combating the present wave of "farm banditry." But it is praised an accomplished young lady who for some years past has made her home in Placentia. Mr. Hale stole away to the Southern city with his bride-elect, seeking to keep the truth of the happy event from his many friends as long as possible. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Elizah Watson, formerly a resident of Fullerton. Here's long life and happiness to Harry Hale, one of the squarest men in Orange county and his bride. May they live long and prosper. Alamitos ranch, 7,000 acres, immediately adjoining Bay City is being stocked by the owner, I. W. Hellman, with fine cattle and sheep. The lease having expired, Hellman contemplates becoming a farmer on his own account. Further plans of the family include a beautiful summer residence on the summit of the hill from which point the view is unsurpassed. Ed Marion, who has been visiting his sister, Mrs. Johnson at The Needles during the holidays returned to his home Sunday evening. District Deputy Riley on Tuesday evening installed the following officers of the local Odd Fellows Lodge: E. S. Goodrich, N. G.; William G. Mason, V. G.; A. E. Schumacher, secretary; F. C. Spencer, F. S.; O. T. Cailor, treasurer; Frank Tausch, warden; C. W. Hedges, conductor; W. I. Wilson, chaplain; J. P. Gibson, R. S. S.; Frank Borth, L. S. S.; H. R. Wilson, I. G.; Frank Fox, O. G.; Frank Gates, R. S. N. G.; J. W. Howard, L. S. N. G.; Max Boege, R. S. V. G.; W. J. Montgomery, L. S. V. G.; J. J. Schneider, trustee. After the installation a feast was spread to which all did ample justice. The public library has been moved to the new Carnegie building where Mr. Armstrong has assumed his duties as librarian. Market day will be hereafter held on the third Saturday of each month at the corner of Chartres and Los Angeles streets. An auctioneer will be on hand and his services will be free to those desiring to avail themselves of the same. Damon Snodgrass is sowing forty acres to barley in the West county. He looks for an abundance of rain and expects to harvest a fine crop. Texas has been reveling in Anaheim oranges during and since the holidays. Mr. Banker shipped twenty carloads of Christmas fruit for the Citrus Union to San Antonio where fancy prices have been received. 2. A provision designed to permit the prosecution of an individual on a grand theft charge who is guilty of a series of small thefts, which in total exceed the petty theft limitations. 3. A proviso that any previous conviction, regardless of whether a fine or jail sentence was imposed, shall be counted against an offender. It is still problematical as to what method, or methods, will finally be employed in combating the present wave of "farm banditry." But it is practically certain that drastic action on some nature will be demanded. In this meantime, the courts of California could render a real service to the farmer by imposing jail sentences, instead of fines, in every case of deliberate and premeditated stealing. Invalid Receives Score of Letters From Famous Men Harold Wandesforde, 18, is an invalid but that doesn't stop him from "meeting" some of the most prominent men in the world. Harold sits in his home at Seattle surrounded by his books. He has a remarkable autograph volume. He writes to leading men here and in Europe, and although he gets some turndowns, he has quite an array of prominent men's names. For instance: President F. D. Roosevelt sent his regards; former President Herbert Hoover wishes him happiness. He has letters from Oliver Wendel Holmes, Charles Evans Hughes, Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Albert Einstein, Roy Chapman Andrews, William Beebe, Orville Wright, Al Smith, John J. Pershing, H.-G. Wells, Viscount M.Saito of Japan, David Lloyd George Clarence Darrow, Rudyard Kipling Jean Piccard and many other well-known men. Some who refused to send their signatures are Madame Curie of radium fame, Adolph Hitler and the Prince of Wales, who refused twice. F NO. 129 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE WHEREAS, MARGARET J.
