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 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 26, 1884 Already the good effects of the settlement of our water troubles are being felt by our people. During the past week a larger number of strangers have been seen on our streets than for a long time past and our business houses have felt the change in affairs. Of course, it will take a few weeks before the consolidated company is in legal working order and the old companies dissolved, but the consolidation is practically accomplished, and with a unanimity of action heretofore unthought of. Land has already risen from ten dollars up an acre, and it will keep on rising until it will eventually reach the fancy figures of the better advertised localities. Supervisors Levi and Moesser, accompanied by Road Overseer Paty, inspected the road from Burruel Point to Anaheim on Thursday with a view to improving that thoroughfare. The road is in an execrable condition, and as it is one which is extensively traveled there ought to be some way devised to make it better than it is. There ought also to be a bridge across the river, but the building of one now is out of the question, as the law will not permit the supervisors to use money for that purpose. Mr. E. A. Saxton has made a very effective design for a seal for the new water company. A reservoir encompassed on three sides by hills over which the rising sun is sending its rays; a ditch of water flowing from the reservoir down upon the valley orchards and vineyards; around the seal the words—"Anaheim Union Water company, Los Angeles county, Cal. Incorporated January, 1884." An orange 15 inches in circumference is likely to attract attention under any circumstances, but when it is the product of a tree planted two years ago it becomes especially noticeable. Such Mr. E.

Incorporated January, 1884. An orange 15 inches in circumference is likely to attract attention under any circumstances, but when it is the product of a tree planted two years ago it becomes especially noticeable. Such an orange from such a tree was plucked from Mr. Fromhein's place some days ago. He has another young tree on his place from which 500 oranges have been picked this season, and there are several hundred yet hanging to the limbs, all of large size. Messrs. W. A. and B. A. Smith the father and brother respectively of S. B. Smith of this place and A. G. Smith of Tustin arrived here on Thursday from Connecticut. They will remain here for some time and if we may judge from the expressions of astonishment at the climatic difference between Connecticut and California, it is more than probable that they will forsake the land of steady habits and become identified with this growing county. The entertainment for the benefit of St. Michael's church on Thursday evening was more successful than its managers had anticipated. The hall was quite well filled and the very excellent supper was well patronized. The following tableaux were presented: Elaine,Nigh and morning; Burning of St. Agnes; The Magic Mirror; Taking the Vell; Crowning of the Fairy Queen; The Night before the Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots; the execution; Fatima entering the forbidden chamber. These tableaux were without exception exceedingly beautiful. Mr. Nourse, a professional elocutionist contributed to the enjoyment of the audience by reading several amusing pieces. Mrs. Jarley's wax works with which the entertainment concluded was quite amusing. Dr. Bailey of Santa Ana was over here again this week on professional duty. The reputation he has gained of late years is certainly great and well may he feel proud of his large and successful practice. It is generally admitted that Dr. Bailey is one of the ablest surgeons and physicians of Southern California. At Los Angeles on Friday of last week Francois Jvano and Mariana Villa were killed by a falling gravel bank, and Lenion Barthe had his leg broken at the same time. The three were laborers engaged in removing soil, and their careless method of excavating caused a cave with the fatal result reported. Anaheim has the biggest and best natural reservoir in Southern California. It covers nearly fifty acres of ground and the dam will be twenty feet in height. It will store 403,363,291 gallons of water. Other smaller reservoirs to be utilized as occasion requires will increase this amount fifty per cent. The semi-annual statement of the Bank of Anaheim published today shows a very decided increase of business during the past six months. Mr. James reports that business is steadily improving...

The semi-annual statement of the Bank of Anaheim published today shows a very decided increase of business during the past six months. Mr. James reports that business is steadily improving. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Mansfield estimates the population of Los Angeles city at 30,000. We are free to admit that it will be some time before Anaheim "ketches up" with its sister city in point of population. A Chinaman employed by Mr. C. E. Leonard was found dead in his bed on Tuesday morning. Justice Gannon held an inquest and the jury rendered a verdict that he died from natural causes, but that his death was hastened by excessive drinking. By the steamship Granada which sailed last week, B. Dreyfus & Co. of Anaheim shipped to the East a large consignment of wine and brandy. A sand pump which has got fastened in the Chandler oil well at Petrolia is delaying work, but it is hoped the obstruction will be removed in a day or two. The twenty-three ostriches for the San Diego farm arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday and were at once forwarded by rail to San Diego. Mr. D. B. Sumner and wife arrived from Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Wednesday and will make Anaheim their future home. We bid them welcome. The contract for carrying the mail between Artesia and Norwalk has been awarded to John Gillespie for an annual compensation of $176. The Farmers ditch company of Orangethorpe has levied an assessment of $2 per share. At New River one day last week Mrs. Newton was attacked by a vicious bull and sustained serious injuries. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 28, 1909 Seventy-one hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Sunday night, beginning at 6 o'clock. For an hour between 7 and 8 the precipitation was heavy, and during the night showers fell at intervals. Total fall for the storm, according to Mr. Dickels gauge 3.86, for the season 9.66. Last year to date 4.32. Up to Thursday morning at 7 o'clock 1.90 was recorded, and at noon the same day .31. Friday and Friday night .81 fell and showers on Saturday brought the total to the figures given. Rain fell heavily in the mountain water sheds of the Santa Ana river, and on Friday breaks in the dykes caused an overflow in the low-lands, where many acres of celery were submerged. Gangs of men worked energetically during the day and kept the flood waters in check as far as possible. The river ran bank full of water at Olive, and for a time an overflow was feared. A heavy fall of snow covered Old Baldy and adjoining peaks, descending to the lowest level in years. More ground has been plowed and seeded to crops in this and other Southern California counties than ever before and record crops are looked for. Weather sharks predict a month of rainy weather and on all sides predictions are made for a most prosperous season. Rain began falling again shortly after 9 o'clock on Tuesday evening and continued at intervals until early yesterday morning when .98 of an inch was recorded. This brings the total for the storm up to 4.84 inches and for the season 10.64. Yesterday the sky was overcast and indications were good for a continuance of the storm. A. S. Bradford was in town from Placentia on Monday and said the Water company will probably begin work on its new two-story office building at the corner of Hedwig and Center streets within the next month or two. Plans for the structure have been drawn and it is the company's purpose to begin work upon it as soon as possible. Current rumor is to the effect that when the building is under way Mr. Bushard will begin the erection of a bridge between the now building and the city. THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON A good many members of Congress both Houses, who came back to Washington all steamed up to say out loud what they thought about the New Deal, have disappointed to discover that they can get no support from their colleagues for any open attack upon President Roosevelt and his policies. Being politicians, they don't want to put themselves in an unpopular position, so they are keeping their feelings bottled up for the time being. Before long some of these safety-valve will begin to pop, and many things will be said on the floor of both House which will make "hot" headlines; but the fact will still remain as it is now that President Roosevelt is running the Government of these more or less United States, and Congress is still taking orders from him. Summing up the news which returning Congressmen and Senators have brought back from their states are districts, it comes down to this: There is a general sense of better times. Recovery is definitely on the way almost everywhere. There is a great deal of popular resentment, especially among business men and industrialists, so what are termed the dictatorial methods of Washington, but there is a pretty general agreement that the objective of the Administration are for the public welfare. What has stirred up most of the objectors, is not the purposes by the methods. Atmosphere Clearing Therefore, since these representatives of the people have got back to Washington, the soft pedal has been applied to Government pronouncements. It being made increasingly clear that there is no real intention on the path of Government to take over or retake control of business and industry, plunge the country into Socialism. A. S.

Plans for the structure have been drawn and it is the company's purpose to begin work upon it as soon as possible. Current rumor is to the effect that when the building is under way Mr. Bushard will begin the erection of a hotel building upon the ground between the new building and the opera house. Asked regarding the annual election of directors which occurs Saturday, he said he heard of no one gathering proxies, and had no knowledge of any contest being made against any member of the present board. The fire department held its annual election Wednesday evening last and selected the following officers for the ensuing year: N. F. Steadman, chief; H. Stern, assistant chief and treasurer; N. B. Tedford, secretary and foreman of the hook and ladder wagon; W. P. Quarton, foreman of the hose cart brigade. N. F. Steadman was presented with a handsome looking cup by the department members. E. L. Goodwill, Jos. Gibson and Herman Schindler were appointed a committee to arrange for the second annual ball to be held at the opera house on the evening of Feb. 22nd. The department will install at its own expense an electric fire alarm system. A committee will visit different cities using alarms and report on the best systems to be installed. Members of the city band will entertain their many friends with a grand ball at the opera-house on Friday evening, Jan. 29th. Music will be furnished by the band's orchestra, which is equivalent to saying the best music will be furnished. Three of the musical organization's most popular players, Frank Tausch, Herman Schindler and Carl Pressel, form the committee of arrangements and they are sparing no pains to assure guests of a most enjoyable evening. The band's social hops have been society events in the past and it is aimed to make this one the event of the season. A number of real estate sales have been made here the past two or three days. R. Krasstel has sold his fifteen acre place on Los Angeles street to Stephen Kistler for $3500. The new owner will set the property to oranges and make other improvements. H. F. H. Schneider, recently from Laurel, Neb., has purchased from Frank Edison ten acres of walnuts just east of the city limits for $7500 and has located here with his family. Mrs. Smith has sold her ten acres one and one-half miles south of town to Mr. Selig of Los Angeles for $4,000. The tract is set to walnuts. Isaac Clemmons has sold thirty-three acres south of town to Mr. Watson of Los Angeles for $16,000. The place is set to walnuts and has a good residence and pumping plant. W. G. Johnson's ten-acre improved tract at West Anaheim has been sold to F. A. Fishering for $7500. Charles Eygebroad is building a $3500 two-story residence on West Center street. Richards Krebs was in town on Tuesday from Azusa, where he is engaged in the wine-making business. Mr. Krebs was for years Atmosphere Clearing Therefore, since these representatives of the people have got back to Washington, the soft pedal has been applied to Government pronouncements. It being made increasingly clear there is no real intention on the part of Government to take over or retain control of business and industry, plunge the country into Socialism There has been a good deal of compulsion, to compel business groups to get together and agree to cooperate, and there will be a good deal more compulsion exercised before all the groups which are concerned with vital services have been whipped into life But rather rapidly the Government takes its hands off one trade association after another, as its organization is perfected, leaving it to the men in the industry to maintain the co-operative machinery. Government will keep eye out to see that the old system unfair competition does not come back but within the limits of fair play, competition will not be hampered, but can be courageed. The President has made it clear those close to him that he is not trying to destroy the Capitalistic system rather to ensure that it shall continue to work properly. And an essential part of the Capitalistic system is profit Without profits there can be no important tax income for the Government. And taxes are all-important. This Way Out But Mr. Tugwell's plan is not going through. The President has declined swallow it whole, his confidants say There will be some revision of a present Food and Drug Act. At least that is the outlook now. And I gossip in quarters where informant is usually accurate is that Tugwell on his way out. The President is good politician; the best politician, probably who ever occupied the White House. And a smart politician does antagonize well-meaning folk who has attached themselves to his bandwagon—not publicly. He gives them enourage to hang themselves. So we have seen Mr. Morley resign Assistant Secretary of State, we everybody thought he was going to be the strongest figure in the Administration; while his chief, Secretary H has become the outstanding Cattle figure. And those in the know preach that Mr. Tugwell is headed for a sinful exit.

Mr. Krebs was for years foreman of the Dreyfus winery here and later held a similar position with E. J. Baldwin's winery at Santa Anita. He is one of the best wine-makers in the state and is prospering. Tom Stone was in town this week from Merced visiting his mother, Mrs. J. B. Stone and brother Charles Stone of Fullerton. Tom spent his school days in Anaheim and has been absent thirty years. He visited here five years ago and sees many changes in his old stamping grounds. He is in the news and stationery business at Merced and is prospering. Edward Backs was badly cut on the forehead one day recently while playing on the grammar school grounds, and several stitches were required to close the wound. Eddie was running and collided with Julius Miller, a schoolmate, who was also injured about the head. Anaheim high school won the debate with Harvard Military school held at the high school on Friday evening by 200 points to Harvard's 175. George Chambers and Joseph Burns were the Anaheim debaters. Residents of Newport Mesa have petitioned the supervisors to form a new school district from portions of San Joaquin, Newport and Fairview to be known as Harper. N. B. Tedford and Stuart Cargill are figuring on fitting up a gasoline launch to sail the waters blue at neighboring seaside resorts. Gus Langenberger is here from San Francisco on a visit to his mother, Mrs. C. Langenberger. The marriage of Miss Brunworth to Mr. Waidler is announced. Both are well known and popular young people. Smith has sold her ten acres one and one-half miles south of town to Mr. Selig of Los Angeles for $4,000. The tract is set to walnuts. Isaac Clemmons has sold thirty-three acres south of town to Mr. Watson of Los Angeles for $16,000. The place is set to walnuts and has a good residence and pumping plant. W. G. Johnson's ten-acre improved tract at West Anaheim has been sold to F. A. Fishering for $7500. Charles Eygebroad is building a $3500 two-story residence on West Center street. Treasury Post and Money The resignation of Secretary Worley is another story. Mr. Woodin and President are the warmest of persons friends, and there has never been friction between them. But Woodin is a very sick man. He nearly 70, and has a serious trouble which makes it unlikely that he will ever again be able to be active in business or public affairs. Mr. Morgenthau, who is now titular head of the Treasury, is a die-of-the-roader, like the President. He is cautious, but not afraid of Big Bad Wolf of Wall Street. He willing to try experiments with me but is in no real sense an inflatable. The silver program, so far tented appeals to him as something we trying out cautiously. The gold gram on which other nations are forced into line, and which will eventually remove gold entirely from the flea domestic currencies and leave it in the control of the various nations as a basis for international exchange making progress. Not tomorrow sometime soon, there will be a devaluation of gold in terms of dollar. In the meantime, credit is expiring, somewhat slowly; money is being circulated more rapidly; effect of the public works program beginning to be felt widely, and hope of the Administration is that demands of the inflationists will stillled in the face of increasing perity. Bail Jumper Again Released On Bail Sheriff Jackson Expects the Worst When Mitchell Trial Date Arrives Sheriff Logan Jackson, who was "hot" after Ball Jumper Howard D. Mitchell last week, is "cooling his heels" this week expecting the worst when the suspect is scheduled to come before a Petersburg, Florida, court following his release on $1000 ball on a writ of habeas corpus. Mitchell originally was arrested in Orange county on a charge of swindling. He jumped ball. In Chicago a year ago he was apprehended, again being released on $500 ball. Before an Orange county deputy could arrive, Mitchell had "jumped" clear out of sight. Ten days ago the ball-jumper was taken into custody at Petersburg. Sheriff Jackson dispatched Deputy Merle Dean, without waiting for extradition papers which were to follow by airplane. The local official wired Florida officials to hold the fugitive on a $25,000 ball, hoping that amount would deter Mitchell. But Florida courts did not agree on that amount, releasing the suspect on a $500 ball. Pending Mitchell's scheduled appearance before the court, Deputy Dean hopes to obtain a permit from the attorney general of Florida to re-arrest Mitchell on charges of ball-jumping, representing companies posting his bail at Santa Ana and Chicago.
