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 THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1909 The return of the fleet after its impressive cruise of forty-two thousand miles, has been celebrated in Hampton Roads. It is said that much good has been accomplished. The Orient has been impressed with our naval strength. No like assemblages of powerful ironclads has ever made a tour so extensive. The personnel of the fleet has had experience at sea. The commanders have the aplomb and confidence in themselves, their ships, and their men that successful practice alone can give. The vessels have had target drill, the results of which have not and will not be published, but it is hinted that this practice is such as have added to the confidence of the navy and of the nation in the ability of our seamen to aim and to hit. Today several thousand blue jackets will march down Pennsylvania avenue and will doubtless be received by thousands of spectators with cheers of admiration and approval. Wm. Falkenstein on Monday took over the business of the old-established firm of Asher & Falkenstein, having purchased Mr. Asher's interest in the establishment. Mr. Falkenstein will continue the business at the old stand and makes formal announcement of the change in our advertising columns today. He has been in active charge of the dry goods department of the store. He is popular with the business interests of the community and rates as a first-class man of affairs, his judgment going far towards making the firm a success financially and the store a credit to the community. Mr. Asher will devote his attention to the manufacture of a furniture polish in which he has recently become interested. He will have headquarters in Los Angeles but will continue to reside with his family in this city.

Walter Johnson, who has been wintering at the family home at Placentia, left this week for the east to rejoin the Washington baseball club. Johnson’s farewell appearance for the season was at Santa Ana last Sunday when he outpitched Grey of the Hoogees of Los Angeles, striking out fourteen men and allowing four hits. When the season began in the east last year Johnson was in the hospital having undergone a surgical operation back of the ear. It was at first thought his playing days were over, and when he joined his team several weeks after the season opened he was not in his old time form. He rounded out perfectly later and pitched great ball. His friends think he will show improvement this year and that he will blossom out as the greatest pitcher in the country. The fire department contemplates installing a chemical engine and electric alarm system at an early date. The fire laddies have $500 in their treasury, and the amount is steadily growing. The boys have done good work in the past and are ready to repeat the performance whenever it becomes necessary to do so in the future. Anaheim is as well equipped for fighting fires as any city of its size on the coast and the citizens should feel proud of its fire company. With the installation of a chemical engine and alarm-system the boys will be more than ever equipped to fight fires with neatness and dispatch. Success to the fire company. S. H. Roberts, formerly one of the largest shoe dealers of Denver, Colo., on Monday purchased the stock of boots and shoes in the Electric store, owned by Wm. Heying and is now in control of the establishment. James F. Carroll, an experienced Eastern shoe man will be manager of the store. Frank Tausch, B. G. Schlosser, Frank Dyer and Charley Tuffree were among the fares who took in the baseball game at Santa Ana on Sunday when Santa Ana defeated the Hoogees of Los Angeles 2 to 0. Johnson struck out 14 men allowing only 4 hits. President Roosevelt will engage in exterminating wild animals in Africa during the next year.

Samuel Kraemer has sold six acres at Placentia to the Santa Fe railroad company which will soon begin the construction of its line from Fullerton to Richfield. A depot and packing house will be erected and several business houses will be built at the new townsite. P. Gildea has just purchased from O. Lagman ten acres of unimproved land situated on East street opposite the Stockwell property for $1500 cash. Mr. Gildea will improve the property with buildings and will set out orange trees in the near future. Mrs. Eunis Henry and little daughter have returned from Ventura where she went to attend the funeral of her father M. Stewart. She was accompanied home by her niece, Miss Trilby Browne. Raymond Nebelung and Joseph Burns were in Los Angeles on Friday looking up points and authorities for their forthcoming debate with Los Angeles high. Harold Moore, traveling passenger agent of the Santa Fe, was in the city on Friday. He has recently returned from a visit east and reports business prospering in all directions. The Ebell will meet at the Masonic hall Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The day will be devoted to civics. Members will respond to roll call with quotations on labor. The Central Store owned by Max Howitz has been sold to Stern & Goodman at 50 cents on the dollar and will be placed on sale at the store by the new owners. Napoleon Hart was a business visitor in San Diego and LaJolla the first of the week. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1884 The directors of the Anaheim Water company at their meeting last Saturday requested the president to call a stockholders meeting to vote upon the question of disincorporating the company. In accordance with the request the president has designated Saturday, March 18th as the day for the meeting. The similarity in the names of the new and the old companies has already led to confusion, the impression having obtained that it is proposed to disincorporate the new company. The fact is as the Anaheim Water company, the North Anaheim Canal company and the Cajon Irrigating company have neither ditches, water, nor water rights there is no need of their continued existence, and it is better that they dissolve and thus escape the responsibilities which attach to them as corporations. The Anaheim Union Water company has acquired all the rights, property and responsibilities of the companies named. On last Tuesday the train managed "by the skin of its teeth" to make its first trip between Anaheim and Los Angeles since the flood. A more delapidated track was never gone over by locomotive. The roadbed for miles was in a mushy condition, and sank beneath the weight of the cars, making them pitch fore and aft like a boat in a choppy sea. The drying weather of the week, however, has perceptibly hardened the soil, and most of the way it is in fair condition and will so remain until it rains again. The train makes but one trip a day and runs in special time—leaving Anaheim sometime in the morning and returning some time towards evening. The track between Anaheim and Santa Ana has not been repaired. Communication by rail with San Francisco will probably not be had for ten or twelve days. The work of repairing the track of the Southern Pacific railroad north of Los Angeles is going beneath the weight of the cars, making them pitch fore and aft like a boat in a choppy sea. The drying weather of the week, however, has perceptibly hardened the soil, and most of the way it is in fair condition and will so remain until it rains again. The train makes but one trip a day and runs in special time—leaving Anaheim sometime in the morning and returning some time towards evening. The track between Anaheim and Santa Ana has not been repaired. Communication by rail with San Francisco will probably not be had for ten or twelve days. The work of repairing the track of the Southern Pacific railroad north of Los Angeles is going on as rapidly as possible. The track is clear from that city to the Soledad canyon and from Mojave to a point below Ravena. Superintendent Hewitt says that more than a thousand men are at work in the canyon; one gang working up from Newhall, another working down from Ravena, while a third party is in the middle, leaving about eighteen miles of track yet to be repaired. The destruction of the roadbed is of an aggravated character in that place and will require a vast amount of labor to complete the repairs. At Riverside there is "water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink." The Press says: "There has been no water in the Riverside canals for several weeks, except such as had collected during the late rains. There were many breaks during the storm of last Sunday, which are being rapidly repaired. It will be some time yet before water is sent down for the use of the people for domestic purposes. In the meantime many cisterns are becoming empty, and much inconvenience is experienced. The first oil sold from the Chandler well was delivered to A. Langenberger on Thursday evening. He will use it in his vineyard and several others have engaged oil for the same purpose. M. B. Chandler is pumping three wells at La Puente and the deepest is 300 feet. They produce $600 worth of oil per month. They have about 150 barrels of oil on hand owing to the roads being impassible. They are selling oil at from $5 to 12.50 per barrel. There are fewer squirrels, gophers and kangaroo rats in the county now than before the flood, but there are enough yet, and to spare. And, by the way, the popular notion that the California squirrel "can't climb a tree," is erroneous. When forced to leave their underground quarters during the rains they climbed on trees and fences and roosted securely until the subsiding waters allowed them to come down. The state superintendent of Public instruction has apportioned $1,504,210 of school monies among the different counties. Los Angeles county receives $83,889 for its 12,428 children. San Francisco and Alameda are the only counties receiving more money than this, the former having 58,061 and the latter 17,386 children. Mr. B. Harrison, attorney-at-law, has concluded to cast his lot with us. He and his family come well recommended. He has made arrangements for an office and has gone to Los Angeles city to settle up his business and then return with his family. We wish him success. Mr. A. B. Wilson, of Trabuca canyon, gives us the following record of rainfall in that locality: October 3 to January 15, 5½ Francisco and Alameda are the only counties receiving more money than this, the former having 58,061 and the latter 17,386 children.

Apiarists are much encouraged over the outlook and the bees are doing splendidly. Although the Centralia poultry yard has been taxed to supply the demand for the very superior varieties kept there, Mr. Potter has been able to respond to all demands. The reputation of these yards is increasing year by year. The effect of the rain is noticeable in the wells throughout the county. The flowing wells in the artesian belt have increased in volume. In Centralia before the rains water was 7½ feet from the surface and now it has risen to within 3½ feet. Vines are quite previous in their prematureness this year. They are already sprouting in some vineyards and at the critical period they will be tempting bait for frost. Let us hope that no climatic arctic pranks will occur during the first half of April. The life of a prominent Kentuckian has been shortened by tobacco. A hogshead of the weed fell on him and crushed him out of symetrical proportions. It cannot be denied that tobacco in large quantities is injurious. The Pacific Coast S. S. Co. propose to make hay while the mud is wet. Two additional steamers have been placed on the southern route, thus affording increased accommodation to travelers. The company is doing a land office business. M. Goldkofer, one of the proprietors of the Santa Ana brewery is about to dispose of his interest, and it is possible that he may take up his residence in Anaheim. Maurice Yarnell and Chas. D.

STABILITY AMONG the many factors which contribute to the stability of Bank of America are the following: It is a statewide branch banking organization. Its far-flung geographical structure or "statewideness," makes for unusual stability through a widespread distribution of resources. Bank of America is conservatively and ably managed by far-visioned, long-experienced executives who fully realize their responsibility to over one million depositors and to the 248 communities in which the bank operates 415 branches. WOMEN HAVE PUT MEN BACK TO WORK... An unprecedented rush of orders followed the announcement of a special sale of modern gas ranges—equipped with clock-control—at record-breaking low prices. It was announced that—during this sale—these clock-equipped ranges could be purchased for a limited time at a price equal to the cost of such ranges without the clock control. A rush of orders resulted. In many instances, delivery has been delayed until a fresh supply of ranges could be rushed from the factory. Trade associations report that this has made increased work for great numbers of men. The sale of thousands of such ranges in Southern California means more work for men—and less work for the women! Instead of spending all their time in the kitchen these Look for the BLUE STAR SEAL of the American Gas Ass'n Testing Laboratories Trade associations report that this has made increased work for great numbers of men. The sale of thousands of such ranges in Southern California means more work for men—and less work for the women! Instead of spending all their time in the kitchen these wives and mothers will now have time for other activities and interests. Have you seen these new ranges? If you have—either at your dealer's or the gas company office—you probably have ordered one for your own kitchen. If you haven't, we suggest that you do so at once—before this special offer expires. At the gas company office you will see new models of Roper and Magic Chef—ranges which we have merchandised for years—but these are equipped with a clock-control which cooks for you automatically. At your dealer's you will see other good ranges also equipped for this new method in automatic cookery. Either through your dealer or the gas company you may have one of these modern ranges on very easy terms. Don't wait! SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS CO.
