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 29, 1909 The city trustees had a large audience at their meeting on Thursday evening many being present to note the board's action on street paving and on a petition asking that theatres be closed on Sundays. Trustees Rust, Fiscus, Stock, Gates and Kroeger were present. When street paving was reached a resolution was adopted that paving be deferred for six months, unless in the meantime a majority of property owners on the streets affected petition for such improvement. Acting upon request of the chamber of commerce, the board some weeks ago adopted a resolution of intention to pave Center street from Orange to Palm street and Los Angeles street from Santa Ana to Sycamore, but protests were filed with City Clerk Merritt by owners of a majority frontage and under the statute the matter went over for six months and it will probably be six months after that time before pavements are in sight. Petition requesting board to close theatres on Sunday, signed by L. A. Evans, O. T. Cailor, Rev. A. B. Markle and others was referred to ordinance committee to investigate and report. The annual meeting of the Southern California Medical society will be held at the Hotel Virginia, Long Beach, on May 5 and 6. The meeting of the Southern California Public Health association, of which Dr. C. D. Ball of Santa Ana is president, and Dr. W. W. Roblee of Riverside is secretary will be held at the same place May 5 at 10 a.m. Our old friend Phid des Granges was a caller at this office on Monday.

Prothero have returned from a 171 mile auto trip to Beaumont where they each own a tract of land. They passed through Pomona, Ontario, Upland, Redlands, San Bernardino, Riverside and other points of interest on the way. They report 500 acres set to apples, pears and other deciduous fruits at Beaumont. Olive defeated Anaheim at baseball on Sunday by a score of 14 to 8. Hendricks and Valencia were in the points for the foothill tribe, and Huntington and Hedges for the valley men. Another game will be played between the same nines on Sunday at Brookshurst. Sunday, May 9th is Mother's day, and in commemoration thereof Mother's day buttons are being sold at a nickle each. the proceeds going to the purchase of additional playgrounds at the public school. The object is to buy the block of land east of the Central grammar school. The white carnation is "Mother's day flower" and should be worn by everyone on that day.

Dr. Johnston and Dr. Wickett vouch for the statement that race-suicide is unknown in Anaheim, for on last Saturday during the space of thirteen hours, they aided the stork five times. Thus is the population of the city increasing at a satisfactory rate. Wm. Frantz has disposed of his interests at Olinda and has moved with his family into town. He has taken up his residence in his cottage at the corner of Olive and Center streets. A benefit concert will be given by Cecilian Quartette at the opera house May 14. Misses G. Kennedy, C.

Harry Hanna was here from Los Angeles the last of the week visiting relatives and friends. Harry spent several days at Balboa and takes strong ground against the Collins plan to bottle up the harbor. He urges the people of the county to support Cant. Fries in his stand against the Collins' plan and says Senator Flint should be communicated with to the end that the people's harbor be protected and preserved. Harry's head is level and we are with him. Flint will please take notice. J. P. O'Brien has sold his forty-six acre Brookshurst place to L. D. Timmons for $40,000. It is in bearing Washington navels and late Valencias. Mr. O'Brien paid $25,000 for the property eighteen months ago and has since set six acres to late oranges and made other improvements. John Hartung attended the lecture delivered by Admiral Evans at Simpson auditorium in Los Angeles on Monday, and later, in company of his son Edgar, shook hands with the admiral and congratulated him on his address. Mr. Hartung made a special trip to the north to see the ships enter the Golden Gate. The board of city trustees in special session on Tuesday evening took favorable action upon a request from Samuel Kraemer for permission to erect a brick and corrugated iron structure fronting upon Los Angeles street and adjoining the alley south of Center street. The building will have a frontage of thirty-five feet in Los Angeles street and will be 100 feet in length, the rear 60 feet being corrugated iron, while the front and side walls for the first forty feet will be brick.

And amid the perfume of a thousand flowers that of the orange blossoms asserts itself most prominently. It permeates everything, and even when one leaves their vicinity its intrusive perfume lingers about him. Can those denizens of Indiana who not more than three weeks ago were waiting for the snow to melt so that they could begin the season's plowing, realize the tropic picture we have painted? A project which doubtless will receive the assistance and encouragement of everyone, is being pushed by Rev. H. J. Sheridan. He proposes to organize a young men’s social club, hire a suitable room in the business part of town, keep it supplied with the best newspapers and such books as he is able to gather together, and make it otherwise attractive to young gentlemen, the room to be open every night. At a meeting called on Monday evening eleven young men were present, and the project was warmly supported. Another meeting will be held this (Saturday) evening at St. Michaels church and we strongly advise all—young and old—who favor the scheme to go to the meeting and give their advice and assistance in furtherance of it. At a meeting held on Monday evening last the following nominations were made to be voted on Monday next: Trustees—Wm. M. Bailey, Frank Ey, Adolph Rimpau, Wm. A. Witte, F. A. Korn. Clerk—E. T. Newbold. Justice—Alexander Bailey. Assessor—C. H. Zeyn. Marshal—Wm. Meek. Another convention was to have been held last night to place in nomination an opposition ticket. There was issued on or before the 23rd instant 5121 shares Advises Receivers To Take FFMC Notes State Superintendent of Banks Edward Rainey has advised the receivers of all closed banks in California that they should accept bonds of the federal farm mortgage corporation in settlement of loan accounts by such banks' debtors. "Guaranteed as these bonds are as to principal and interest by the United States government," Superintendent Rainey said, "I feel they are as good as any treasury issue and have so notified receivers of closed banks. I wish at this time to pay tribute to the work the Berkeley federal land bank and its associates of the farm credit administration have done in relieving the financial condition of the western farmer. In my department we see every day evidences of bettered conditions in the affairs of closed banks through payment of old loans made possible by the refinancing of the basic industry of agriculture."

Nominations for August Primaries To Start May 21 Politics Hit Doldrums After City Elections April 9; Justices get Attention Politics hit the doldrums this week. At a meeting held on Monday evening last the following nominations were made to be voted on Monday next: Trustees—Wm. M. Bailey, Frank Ey, Adolph Rimpau, Wm. A. Witte, F. A. Korn. Clerk—E. T. Newbold. Justice—Alexander Bailey. Assessor—C. H. Zeyn. Marshal—Wm. Meek. Another convention was to have been held last night to place in nomination an opposition ticket. There was issued on or before the 23rd instant 5121 shares of stock in the Anaheim Union Water Co., and up to noon yesterday 268 additional shares had been issued, making a total of 5389 shares. There yet remains to be called for 1263 shares of stock of which 809 shares are due to stockholders of the Anaheim Water Co., numbering 41 and 454 shares to stockholders of the N. A. Canal company numbering thirteen. The general meeting of stockholders will be held on next Saturday at 10 o'clock a.m., and pending the action of the meeting the work of repairing the ditches has been suspended. The carpenters, however, have been kept at work constructing the necessary gates. Verily, there is nothing new under the sun. Even the prevailing style of banging the hair, affected by the girl of the period, is of very ancient origin. A number of female statues recently discovered at Yucatan have their hair banged in regulation style. “Pink dinners” have now taken the place of “blue teas” in New York’s fashionable circles. Everything in the room is pink, and the favors include a horn of plenty to which tasty pink streamers are attached. Mr. Saxton's gauge recorded three-sixteenths of an inch of rainfall on Saturday and one-fourth of an inch on Tuesday and Wednesday, making a total for the season of 25.16 inches. By Mr. Langenberger's gauge the rainfall for the two days mentioned was .34 and the total for the season 24.23 inches. Sidney Holman left at this office on Thursday a beautiful specimen from his orange grove consisting of a cluster of bright oranges nine in number, weighing eight pounds. Monday last was payday for the A. U. W. Co. The office of the company was thronged with laborers lately employed on the ditches. The work of painting the Planters hotel is now going on. H. Boege has the contract. The hotel may be said to have renewed its growth. It is in splendid condition and Mr. Compton is proving himself a model Boniface. An aged paisano named Felipe, a visiting bummer, was brought up in the justice's court on Wednesday for disturbing the peace and happiness of S. Covarrubias and the general public generally. Felipe was awarded justice tempered with mercy and allowed to emigrate Mexico-wards. The wool clip which is now being harvested, is abundant in quantity and excellent in quality, being cleaner than it has for years. The ruling price is rather low, being from 10 to 13 cents per pound. The market, however, may be said not yet to have Nominations for August Primaries To Start May 21 Politics Hit Doldrums After City Elections April 9; Justices get Attention Politics hit the doldrums this week. Occasion zephyrs, however, indicated that when May 21 rolls around, there will be considerable evident activity as nomination papers may then be taken out for candidates filing for the state-wide primary election in August. Largely unappreciated by the public, yet highly important now and then when an important personage is hailed into court on a traffic charge, the officials of eleven townships of Orange county come before voters for election during 1934. Under the present legal setup all justices of the peace and constables of the townships receive the same salaries, based upon population of the various political subdivisions, a minimum of $25 per month being allowed regardless of population. Regarded as one of the political "plums" of Orange county officialdom, the post of Justice of the peace of Santa Ana township will draw several candidates. Judge Kenneth Morrison, who has held the position since the death of Judge Cox, the man who made Orange county jail the nemesis of speeders in earlier days, is expected to ask re-election. The Santa Ana Justice office has two constables and a clerk, handling much of the business for the county seat, as well as other sections of the county. Because of the additional revenue due to weddings, the income of the Santa Ana justice runs high. Even in these times the marrying justice can expect as much as $7,000 to $8,000 a year income, despite a county allowance of only $157.50 per month. Salaries of the justices of the peace and constables are the same, with the justice receiving little additional income, unless he also holds a city judge-ship. Fees for performing marriage ceremonies are "side money," however. The constable receives fees for serving papers, with some mileage allowances, though he must maintain his own car. Officials who probably will be candidates for re-election, at least whose terms expire, this summer, and their salaries as set by law, are as follows: San Juan Township Justice Constable John Landell C. J. Errecarte Salary $25 per month Additional An aged paisano named Felipe, a visiting bummer, was brought up in the justice's court on Wednesday for disturbing the peace and happiness of S. Covarrubias and the general public generally. Felipe was awarded justice tempered with mercy and allowed to emigrate Mexico-wards. The wool clip which is now being harvested, is abundant in quantity and excellent in quality, being cleaner than it has for years. The ruling price is rather low, being from 10 to 13 cents per pound. The market, however, may be said not yet to have opened. The supply of fuel has been very low since the rains and prices for wood and coal have ranged high. The corner is now broken by the arrival of a carload of Wellington coal. Gade will deliver in quantities to suit anywhere in town. Recipe to avert the coming heat of summer—Go to H. Cahen's and buy a dress of one of the many different kinds of thin white goods, a nice pair of silk milts or lisle thread gloves and a parasol. Then with some macraine cord and crochet cotton make a pretty ornament to while away the hot hours of the day. Work on the Raymond hotel at Pasadena has been temporarily suspended, owing to the failure of the narrow gauge railroad company to lay its track. It is believed the matter will soon be amicably adjusted. The following sales of real estate were made by Hanna & Keith this week: D. W. C. Cowan to John Deitzel, 11 acres $1000. Manson & Wilcox, assignees of B. F. Seibert to George Shaw, 20 acres $1,220. Now that the rainy season has closed and we may reasonably look for bright sunny days, which means dust, our business men have instituted a plan for street sprinkling, which we hope may be effected. Ladies are reminded that the figure at the corner of center and Los Angeles streets is not a live "dude." Smiles and bows bestowed will not be reciprocated nor appreciated. As usual May day will be celebrated at the Santiago picnic grounds. The Santa Ana fire department will have the direction of amusements and the Anaheim brass band will discourse the music. M. O. D. Chieftain Analyses Citrus Code's Problems Declares Agreements Limited In Scope; Holds Benefits are Worthwhile Speaking last week before the California marketing conference at Pomona College, Bruce McDaniel, general counsel of the Mutual Orange Distributors and of the national citrus stabilization committee, analyzed the economic background of the present federal agreements, and the scope and results of the agreements now in operation. Mr. McDaniel, who presented the economic brief in behalf of the entire citrus industry before the secretary of agriculture in Washington at time of the formal hearing last summer, summarized the subject, said: "Every grower in California raising cling peaches, apricots, cherries, peaches, pears, plums, Tokay grapes, fresh prunes, walnuts, olives (ripe), oranges, and grapefruit is doing business under a marketing license. The success of these agreements therefore affects the welfare of thousands of California farmers and business enterprises." "In judging whether these agreements can do the jobs cut out for them, the facts indicate: 1. That the source of authority for the use of marketing agreements, the A.A.A., probably will be held constitutional; 2. that the policies of the administrations permit revisions of agreements so that they can be made to meet present and changing conditions in each industry; 3. that the agreements can, if properly drawn and efficiently and Primaries Heart May 21 Doldrums After Days April 9; Attention Doldrums this week, however, indicated rolls around, there evident activity as may then be taken filling the state on in August.

County Employes to Play Tuesday Night County employes this week were urged by President Earl Abbey of the County Employes' association to "bring your family, sweetheart, and what have you, and have a good time and get acquainted with your fellow county employees" at the picnic to be held Tuesday evening.
