IN THE DAYS OF I Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 25, 1909 Rain to the amount of 2.60 inches, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge fell on Sunday and Monday. The precipitation came in the proverbial nick of time, as no rain had fallen in a month and barley in places was beginning to show effects of drouth. Not in years was rain so opportune and the heavy downpour insures thousands of tons of hay which, had rain been longer delayed might have failed to make a crop. Rain began falling at 3 o'clock on Sunday morning and during the day and Sunday night the precipitation was heavy at times. At 7 o'clock on Monday morning 2.42 inches were recorded. At noon 12 hundredths additional had fallen, and during Monday night 6 hundredths, making a total for the storm of 2.60 inches. For the season 18.02, last year to date 9.98. Total for last season 10.75. Mr. Bradford reports the fall at Placentia to be four inches. Madame Helena Modjeska, the famous Polish actress, is lying critically ill at her residence at Bay Island Newport bay, and anxiety is felt for her recovery. Physicians are in constant attendance, and Count Bozenta is constantly at her bedside. Last week Bishop Conaty visited her, and as a result her condition showed improvement and she was cheerful during the day. Yesterday word was received that she continued to improve. Madame Modjeska has been engaged upon her memoirs which will be published in an eastern magazine and will later appear in book form. The distinguished actress accompanied by her husband Count Bozenta, Henrik Sienkiwitz and other Polish notables arrived in Anaheim in 1877 and for two years resided here. While she had acquired fame in her native land as an actress, her great successes upon the English-speaking stage were yet to come. The colony of poles was not in affluent circumstances, but her great histrionic talents brought her prominently before the world and showered riches upon her. Her career has been a notably brilliant one, yet there is nothing of this town and section of country bridge across the to Anaheim are effective cause of much the necessity of question, for dur safe crossing, and had to travel five bridge be built? be worth double visors to do this who ask it pay consideration. Law expenditure of me only when a mat found which pre former years buil supervisors can do the backbone. Agent Darling between Ananeim days—that, in ta or Thursday. Tha bridge over th train that passed the whole work would have been River bridge and showed improvement and she was cheerful during the day. Yesterday word was received that she continued to improve. Madame Modjeska has been engaged upon her memoirs which will be published in an eastern magazine and will later appear in book form. The distinguished actress accompanied by her husband Count Bozenta, Henrik Sienkiwitz and other Polish notables arrived in Anaheim in 1877 and for two years resided here. While she had acquired fame in her native land as an actress, her great successes upon the English-speaking stage were yet to come. The colony of poles was not in affluent circumstances, but her great histrionic talents brought her prominently before the world and showered riches upon her. Her career has been a notably brilliant one, yet in the height of her popularity, she was ever the same womanly woman, dignified, yet courteous to those with whom she came in contact. While critically ill, the prayers of her old-time friends and associates will go up for her recovery, and that she may be spared many more years of usefulness in the world which she has adorned so long. The opera house will be re-opened on Sunday and Monday evenings with the Talk-o-scope, which makes it possible for you to hear the world's highest salaried vaudeville artists for a small admission fee. Wonderful talking pictures, all the big New York hits in song, sketch and drama. Will snow the dramatic essence of the immortal play "Quo Vadis" in two scenes involving fifty persons on the stage. New chairs have been installed, a new maple floor and other improvements including a $450 piano. Reserved seats at Mission candy store. Archie Henry this week sold twenty acres of oranges and walnuts to J. H. Goodale of South Dakota for $15,000. The property lies west of the ten acres sold last week to John C. Cordes, recently arrived from Iowa for $25,000. The purchaser takes immediate possession and Mr. Henry will move upon his twenty-acre tract adjoining the place just sold on the north. He will put the place under a high state of cultivation devoting his attention to oranges and walnuts. Oliver Hill this week purchased the interest of O. P. Litten in the city stables and will in the future carry on the business at the old stand. Mr. Hill is one of the most popular business men in this section and what he does not know about horses is not worth knowing. He has resided here so long that he is numbered among the oldest inhabitants, and his record is clear down to date. He will keep on hand none but the best of turnouts with prices reasonable. He reports business brisk and prosperity coming his way. May good luck attend him. A business meeting of the Parent-Teachers association was held Tuesday afternoon in Prof. Topel's room in the grammar school at which by-laws were adopted and other business attended to. A large number of ladies were present and the membership was greatly increased. E. J. Byrne, Louis Borchard, J. MacArthur and J. Becher spent ten days at Yuma, returning the past week. They visited the Laguna dam, twelve miles above Yuma where waters of the Colorado are diverted for irrigation. A large area of government land will be reclaimed and a tide of immigration is setting in. Mrs. O. A. Mullinix was on Friday evening elected to represent held Tuesday afternoon in Prof. Topel's room in the grammar school at which by-laws were adopted and other business attended to.

They visited the Laguna dam, twelve miles above Yuma where waters of the Colorado are diverted for irrigation. A large area of government land will be reclaimed and a tide of immigration is setting in. Mrs. O. A. Mullinix was on Friday evening elected to represent the local Rebekah lodge at the meeting of the grand lodge which convenes at San Francisco in May. Mrs. Tipton was chosen to represent the lodge at an anniversary meeting of Rebekans to be held in Los Angeles on April 21. Engineer Kellogg has a force of workmen engaged at the Olive reservoir, which he will probably complete this week. The reservoir is being constructed for the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company and will store night water to be used in daytime. Tim Carroll visited the new sugar factory now in course of erection three miles south of Santa Ana the first of the week. He will construct several of his patented beet-dumping devices at the factory and at different shipping points. Miss Lillie Kruger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Kruger, and Marion John Dargatz of Fullerton were married at the German Baptist church in this city on Wednesday evening, Rev. E. Wiesle officiating. Miss Minnie Kruger, sister of the bride and Miss Olga Dargatz acted as bridesmaids and Adolph Schmidt and Herman Wedel were groomsmen. The happy couple will reside in Fullerton where the groom is in business. L. E. Miller, B. V. Beebe, A. S. Bradford, Samuel Kraemer and P. H. Krick were among local people seen in Los Angeles on Monday. Miss Poldie Heiman of Los Angeles was an over Sunday guest of Miss Theresa Fay. Fritz Yungbluth has erected a new canvass awning in front of his place of business. Assemblyman Melrose returned last evening from Sacramento. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Records of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 22, 1884 There is nothing which would conduce more to the prosperity of this town and to the convenience of the residents of this whole section of country than a good road leading northward and a bridge across the old river bed. At their best, the roads leading to Anaheim are execrable, and they have been a direct, and positive cause of much loss to the business interests of the place. Of the necessity of a bridge across the river there can now be no question, for during the last few weeks there has been only one safe crossing, and people who wanted to reach a point a mile away had to travel five miles to get to it. How can this road and this bridge be built? It will take a large sum of money and yet it will be worth double what it will cost. We look to the board of supervisors to do this work. It is one of public necessity and the people who ask it pay taxes enough to entitle their petition to due consideration. Laws can always be found, or made, to justify the expenditure of money on schemes of questionable character, it is only when a matter of real public benefit comes up that a law is found which prevents its accomplishment. The county has in former years built bridges in many parts of the county, and the supervisors can do the same thing again if they have the will and the backbone. Agent Darling gives us the cheering information that the road between Ananeim and Los Angeles will not be repaired for several days—that, in fact, no train will be run before next Wednesday or Thursday. The construction force put in some crib-work under the bridge over the Los Angeles river, but the weight of the first train that passed over it squashed the supports into the sand and the whole work was washed away. The force which otherwise would have been at work during this week repairing the New River bridge and the break north or town has been engaged on High School Grads Get Advice From U.S.C. Programs Problem of "What Shall I Study to Be?" Discussed by Noted Educators "What shall I study to be—lawyer, doctor, architect, dentist, journalist, or business man?" This is the problem facing many high school students as June graduation begins to creep upon them. Presenting the opportunities, requirements, and qualifications of the various professional and business fields, deans of the schools and colleges and outstanding professors of the University of Southern California are co-operating in providing a radio "career planning" program over KNX each Monday afternoon from 4:15 to 4:30 p.m. Beginning March 5, the U. S. C. vocation guidance program directed by Dr. Francis Bacon, counselor of men, continues each Monday afternoon until June 11 when President R. B. von KleinSmil concludes the series speaking on "Who Should Go To College?" Subjects to be included in the series are The High School Student and His Future Career, The Meaning of Guidance, Social Service as a Career, The Young Man and Law, Dentistry as a Career, the College Graduate in Business, Factors to Consider in Choosing an Occupation, Public Service as a Career, Music as a Career, Architecture as a Career, Literature and the Choice of a Career, Journalism as a Career, Vocational Guidance and Placement, the Guidance Program at the University of Southern California, and Who Should Go to College? Dr. A. S. Raubenheimer, Dr. D. W. Lefever, Dr. E. F. Young, Dean W. G. Hale, Dr. James McCoy, Dean R. L. Agent Darling gives us the cheering information that the road between Ananeim and Los Angeles will not be repaired for several days—that, in fact, no train will be run before next Wednesday or Thursday. The construction force put in some crib-work under the bridge over the Los Angeles river, but the weight of the first train that passed over it squashed the supports into the sand and the whole work was washed away. The force which otherwise would have been at work during this week repairing the New River bridge and the break north of town has been engaged on the Los Angeles river bridge. It is likely therefore that another week will pass without railroad communication, even though favored by the present propitious weather. At the early hour of 3:30 on Thursday morning, the house on First North street occupied by Mr. Hanna, was the scene of a rafter daring burglary. The rafter raised the window of the bedroom and, reaching in, secured Mr. Hanna's clothes, taking from the pockets $4.50 in silver and probably would have committed further depredations had not Mrs. Hanna discovered the intruder and raised the alarm. He dropped the clothes on the ground and vanshed in the thin misty morning air, and though Deputy Sheriff Tyler scoured the town for the culprit, he escaped. The adhesive properties of Aunt Jemima's plaster, though nanced down to fame in song, were but slight as compared with the quicksand of our California rivers. During last week a wagon got fast at the crossing of the river south of town and an attempt was made on Sunday to dig it out. About twenty men worked at the job for several hours, out, as was the case with the plaster therebefore referred to, the more they tried to pry it out, the more it stuck the faster. The running gear was rescued in a deapiated condition but the bed or the wagon remains in the bed of the river. We are able to announce authoritatively that the Planters note has been leased to Ed Dunnam the lessee of the Pico and Cosmopolitan notes in Los Angeles and that Mr. Compton will be the manager. Capt. Ferguson, the owner of the property, will immediately make liberal expenditures in the returning of the house and when the improvements contemplated are completed it will take rank with the best notes in Southern California. A. L. Seeley, who is carrying the mail between Santa Ana and San Diego until the regular service is resumed tens the Union that "at Santa Ana the river has made a new channel, leaving the railroad bridge high and dry." A new bridge will have to be built. This statement is absurd. The river still runs under the bridge, and the bridge still spans the river. Singularly enough, there has never been a nursery of citrus fruits in Ananeim, and it has been necessary to purchase orange and similar trees elsewhere. This will be remedied in a short time by Marsnail Haight, who has an extensive and promising nursery or choice citrus trees which will soon be old enough for market. Orangethorpe district has been well rid of rabbits and the young vineyard in that neighborhood will have a fair show for existence. Code Authorities Probe Hatcheries Regional Coordinator E. A. Nisson, in charge of the national commercial and breeder hatchery committee, announces that about the middle of March investigators will visit all Orange county hatcheries. Inspectors will probe on code compliance, being particularly interested in prices, accounting, advertising, labor provisions, size of eggs and B.W.D. testing. Violations will be reported to the national committee for action. NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS FOR CHLORINE Notice is hereby given that sealed proposals will be received by the City Council of the City of Anaheim, at the office of the City Clerk of said City, up to the hour of eight o'clock P.M. of Tuesday, March 27, 1934, for furnishing to said city approximately 40 tons of chlorine gas under purchase agreement to run one year from date of contract. Said Chlorine gas is to be used at various locations along the Orange County Joint Outfall Sewer, and must be moisture free and of a standard of purity equal to that in water works practice. It shall be furnished in one-ton containers F.O.B warehouse at Los Angeles, California, at such times and in such quantities as may be required by the City. Each bidder shall indicate in his proposal the rental charge for containers retained by the City beyond a stated free period. Each proposal shall be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check for $100.00 payable to City of This statement is absurd. The river still runs under the bridge, and the bridge still spans the river. Singularly enough, there has never been a nursery of citrus fruits in Ananeim, and it has been necessary to purchase orange and similar trees elsewhere. This will be remedied in a short time by marsnail haught, who has an extensive and promising nursery or choice citrus trees which will soon be old enough for market. Orangethorpe district has been well rid of rabbits and the young vineyars in that neighborhood will have a fair snow for existence. Over nine rabbits were killed during the hunt on Wednesday, making 120 killed during the two days shooting. The rainfall of last Friday and Saturday by Mr. Saxton's gauge amounted to fifteen-sixteenths of an inch, making the total for the season 21 and seven-sixteenths inches. The superb steamer Queen of the Pacific made the trip between San Pedro and San Francisco in 29½ hours. Taking into consideration the many stops, this is the fastest time on record between these ports. Fruit is remarkably far advanced this season. At E. S. Saxton's place in Orangethorpe there are saucer peaches which already measure 1½ inches in diameter and ⅛ of an inch in thickness. T. A. Darling was taken seriously ill on Thursday evening, the result of a severe cold which settled on his lungs. His place at the railroad depot is temporarily nixed by H. R. Hanna. The mail will be carried by Mr. Grey as heretofore, until the track is repaired. It will be brought in the cars to Downey, and he will make regular daily trips from here to that point. A twig of very large and fine oranges has been placed on the editorial table by Prot. Packard. None of the fine oranges measured less than fourteen inches in circumference. The Town Marshall gives notice that he will hereafter enforce the ordinance which prohibits animals from grazing upon public highways. H. C. Kellogg has bought 40 acres west of town from the estate of Frank Marsh, consideration $1500.
