IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 22, 1909 Water to a depth of forty feet rises against the dam at Yorba reservoir and the element of leakage is reduced to a minimum. Recent wild rumors that the reservoir "leaked from 600 to 800 inches per day" excite nothing but smiles among those who keep informed upon the subject. Zanjero Brunworth said this week that if the leakage were even a fraction of this volume the reservoir would have run dry long ago. No water has been run into it for sixty days, yet twenty feet of water stood in the reservoir continuously. The dam and bottom of the reservoir are absolutely water tight, and the seepage is so slight as to be practically nothing at all. The reservoir has fulfilled its mission and is fulfilling it right along. It does away with night irrigation in the southern part of the district, it yields the company double the amount of money previously paid for night water and is a success. If those who are squealing about the reservoir would visit it, they might be able to acquire a modicum of knowledge regarding it. They had better be careful, though, for they might fall in and get wet. The reservoir is all right.

The ladies euchre club was entertained by Mrs. Hiltscher at her Orangethorpe avenue home on Thursday afternoon in a delightfully informal manner. Great bouquets of beautiful roses decorated the rooms and lent their brightness to the scene. Refreshments of salads, rolls, coffee and cake were enjoyed after the game and later when the scores were counted Mrs. Whitney was awarded the first prize, a glass water set; Mrs. Fred Rimpau the second, a vase, and Mrs. Ferdinand Backs the consolation, a box of writing paper. The club will meet with Mrs. Arthur Lewis in May. The graduating class of the high school will present "The Schoolmistress" at the opera house the evening of Wednesday, June 9th. The graduating class is composed of the following bright girls and boys: Gertrude Asher, Lois Blake, Ira Cameron, Marie Finney, Laura Newman, Grace Schindler, Viola Susmil, Lilly Zeus, Henry Berg, Joseph Burns, Rollo Davis, Arnold Dickel, Elton Goble. Raymond Nebelung, Herrman Wedel, Fred Weisel. The Apollo club celebrated the third anniversary of its organization at Odd Fellows hall on Friday afternoon by a musical entertainment at which more than a hundred guests were present. At the annual meeting last month Miss Sophie Rimpau was elected president and Mrs. Crone secretary. This popular musical organization now numbers 21 members all of whom are finished musicians. At the monthly meetings excellent programs are rendered by the members, but at their annual anniversary meeting it is the custom to engage musicians from abroad. The program was presented by Miss Clark, Miss Werner and Miss Murry of Los Angeles all excellent musicians and was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Cornelius Bruce, on old and highly respected resident, died suddenly at his home on Philadelphia street on Thursday of apoplexy. Deceased was 72 years of age and is survived by a widow. W. J. Hill is preparing for the season's harvest, and will begin heading operations next month. He savs the grain crop is not so good as had been expected earlier in the season but that it is a whole lot better than last year. Juan Alvarez was bitten on the finger by a rattlesnake on Tuesday morning while thinning beets on the San Joaquin ranch. He was taken to the Santa Ana hospital and was a very sick man for two hours but is now resting comfortably and his physician does not look for serious results. Allan Knapp was in from the Katella district on Monday. Allan claims to have the best field of burr clover in the valley, standing three feet high in his orchard. He will irrigate it this week and plow under next week.

Allan Knapp was in from the Katella district on Monday. Allan claims to have the best field of burr clover in the valley, standing three feet high in his orchard. He will irrigate it this week and plow under next week. Allan is a scientific farmer and is making good at it. Bruce Anson has traded his residence property on West Broadway for property owned by Mrs. Pruitt on the East Side. A family reunion and picnic assembled at Bay City on Saturday. An enjoyable outing and basket lunch was participated in by the following: Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Quarton, Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. George Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Abbot, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Quarton, Mrs. R. Dueell, Fred Barnes. Mrs. Fred Rimpau and baby of Fairbanks, Arizona, who has been the guest of relatives here for two months, left Monday to visit relatives in Puente before returning to her home in the Territory. A. T. Pendleton came in from Placentia on Tuesday afternoon to look through the demonstration train. Loara schools are out for a week on account of scarlet fever at the Booms home. A death occurred in the family last week and another child is ill, but reported out of danger. Mrs. Estelle Fischer has purchased the McCollum residence on Broadway, paying $3500 therefore, and will in the near future move therein. Prof. H. M. James has returned from San Diego and will give prompt attention to all orders for piano tuning. Leave orders at Jos. Helmsen's store. Ben Berdrow is out on crutches after six weeks detention at home with a broken ankle. Napoleon Hart, Peter Hansen and Chris Paulsin returned on Monday from a several days trip to San Diego. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 19, 1884 The perfect loveliness of Easter day—bright sky, balmy air laden with the perfume of orange blossoms and the infinitude of vegetation which is now in the vigor of growth—reminded us by the contrast of the usual chill, drear, blue nose spring bonnet Easter of the East. Our churches presented a sight that only Southern California can afford. Evergreens and ivy with banks of the choicest flowers grown in open air graced chancel, altar and walls and filled the air with pleasing fragrance. The music was exceptionally fine and our satisfaction with this favored land seemed complete. F. H. Keith has just completed the purchase of eleven acres of land from D. W. C. Cowan, on the corner of West and North streets for the sum of $1,650. Whether he will lay out a town of his own or plant it in vines we can't say, but will venture to guess the latter. He says, however, that he has contracted with a gentleman from Georgia to plant it out to gophers this year and trust to luck here after. Success old boy, it wouldn't hurt to have a few more like you. The Boulon & Moore Comedy Troupe played at Kroeger's hall on Tuesday and Thursday evenings to full houses. The company is exceptionally good. Among other features we note the violin playing by Paul Boulon as showing an unusual mastery of that instrument and his rendition of several numbers was received with much enthusiasm. George F. Moore is an old favorite and his delineations were fully up to his former reputation. The performance as a whole was of a pleasing character and of a higher order of talent than is usually vouchsafed to our town. Walnut Growers To Study Codling Moth Spray Plan Complete Program for Field Day on April 14 Announced; Tower Demonstration The demand for more efficient spraying operations in the control of walnut codling moth has developed the construction of tower equipment for spray application. Several towers were built in Southern California last year for this purpose. Some of these towers will be shown at the Southern California Walnut Growers field day on Saturday, April 14. Spraying operations will be demonstrated from the towers and data will be presented by A. M. Boyce to show the comparison of results from tower spraying and ordinary methods. M. H. Kimball, agricultural Extension service, Los Angeles county, will explain the new developments in tower shaking equipment and how the quality of nuts has been improved by their use last year. The field day is held at this time, just prior to the spring spraying campaign for codling moth control, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg, so that growers may receive the latest information on the condition of worm infestations in local orchards. The report of this season's spray recommendations will be outlined by members of the agricultural commissioner's office. It will be to the advantage of every walnut grower in Orange county to attend the field day for the instruction he will receive on many phases of orchard management, including soil moisture, pest control, harvesting and other subjects, according to Wahlberg.

The continued dampness of the weather will most likely induce mildew upon those varieties of vines predisposed to attack from fungi. Fortunately a specific is found in the application of sulphur. The vines ought to be dusted with sulphur sometime during the next two weeks, and twice more during the season. When the sulphur is thoroughly and properly applied there is no reason to fear mildew. Messrs. Dreyfus & Co. have for sale the best kind of sulphur for such use. A peculiarly sad accident happened last week, resulting in the death of Charlie R. Hill, son of J. C. Hill of Centralia. He has been living at Tehachipe, Kern county, for some months and on Thursday last started for Centralia. Being anxious to reach home he paid no attention to the blinding rainstorm prevailing in the mountains nor to the dangerous condition of the roads. At 10 o’clock on Thursday morning he passed the house of a Portuguese in San Francisco canyon, about 27 miles above Newhall, who warned him of the danger of proceeding in the terrific storm. About 1 o’clock a lad told the Portuguese that a team was stuck in the mud at the foot of the mountain. Hurrying to the scene the man found the team and the body of young Hill a short distance away. It is supposed that he became suddenly ill and leaving the team started back to the house to obtain relief. No marks of violence were found upon the body. The remains were brought to his parents’ home in Centralia and buried in the Anaheim cemetery on Monday. Deceased was 24 years of age and was a great favorite here where he was widely known. Michael Hammond, aged 38 years, employed by S. L. Chilson, fell dead on Saturday afternoon in the driveway leading to the Chilson house. Alcoholism is said to have been the cause of his death. He was an expert miner and had been mining with Mr. Chilson’s sons for nearly five years past. It is said that Hammond was one of four brothers who are heirs to $500,000 in coin which has been tied up in a legal snarl in the Bank of England for the past twenty years.

A petition will be presented to the supervisors at their next session for the establishment of a road from the north end of East street to where it will intersect the road running east and west past the Kroeger and Fithian tracts in North Anaheim. This road with a bridge across the river will be of great convenience to the people and profitable to the town. Citizens should remember that if they wish to vote at the coming Presidential election it will be necessary to have their names placed upon the great register. This costs nothing but a few minutes time. Theo Rimpau is deputized to register voters in this precinct. The report that L. J. Rose had sold his Sunny Slope vineyards to a Scotch syndicate for $750,000 is premature. Negotiations for the sale have been in progress for some time but it is uncertain whether it will be consummated. Mr. Rose was in town on Tuesday. There is on exhibition at the postoffice a specimen of Sago. Judging from its luxuriant and perfect growth we are inclined to believe that we can raise our own puddings at home as well as corn, wine, and oil. It is said that the Anaheim Brass Band has been engaged to furnish music for a picnic to be given by the Santa Ana fire department on May day. A large stock of agricultural machinery is kept in stock by Jacob Yaeger, to whose advertisement the attention of farmers is especially directed. The members of the Evangelical denomination have purchased a lot on E-5 and will soon begin erection of a church building.

Local Farm Bureau Flaherty Rejoins Executive-Secretary R. D. Flaherty, who has been secretary of the newly-organized Production Credit association in Orange county since obtaining a leave of absence from the bureau, will rejoin the farm organization in his former capacity next Monday, Presi-Felton B. Browning announced this week. President J. W. Crill of the Production Credit association states that a permanent secretary will be appointed within a few days. Nearly 7 Million From Dairy Quota California produces more than four and a half per cent of the nation's dairy products and under the new dairy adjustment plan of the agricultural adjustment administration this state would receive $6,915,000 in benefit payments, Dr. C. U. Duckworth, chief of the division of animal industry, state department of agriculture, said he had been informed by the federal department of agriculture. Only six states, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York and Wisconsin, have allocations exceeding that of California, Dr. Duckworth added. Truck and Cattle Scales are Tested All truck and cattle scales in Orange, San Diego, Imperial, San Bernardino and Riverside counties are being properly tested and calibrated by representatives of the state weights and measures division, department of agriculture, J. S. Casey, chief of the division reports. The work will be finished late in April. Ramona Pageant to Observe Fiftieth Anniversary Soon The Hemet-San Jacinto Valley's eleventh annual Ramona pageant, to be presented at Hemet Saturday and Sunday afternoons, April 21 and 22, April 28 and 29, and May 5 and 6, will commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of writing by Helen Hunt Jackson of her famous novel, "Ramona," it is announced by Edward Poorman, president of the Ramona Pageant association. This widely read story of early California Indian life was written by Mrs. Jackson in 1884 following a trip to California to investigate conditions among the Indians for the federal government. Much of her time during this trip was spent among the Indians of the San Jacinto Valley. It was in this vicinity that she found some of the characters and a large part of the material for her book. The original Ramona and Alessandro were members of a San Jacinto Valley Indian tribe and are now buried in the little cemetery on the Cahuilla reservation south of Hemet. For this reason it is particularly appropriate that the Hemet-San Jacinto Valley, widely known as the "Home of Ramona," should be selected as the ideal location for the presentation of the Ramona play which is a dramatization of the book. The play begins at 3 o'clock each afternoon and runs two hours. More than 150,000 people have attended it in the past ten seasons. Ticket reservations are now being made through the Ramona Pageant office at Hemet.
