IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette issued Half a Century and a Quarter of an Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 13, 1909 Anaheim leads the county in its increase of census school children for the year 1909. Its increase is 109, as compared with 53 for Santa Ana. Tustin shows a decrease of 26, while Orange falls 3 below last year. Fullerton comes forward with an increase of 3, while Huntington Beach has an increase of 26. Garden Grove has a decrease of 15. We give below some figures showing number of census children for 1909 in several of the nearby cities: Anaheim, 848; Alamitos, 59; Buena Park, 99; Centralia, 140; Fullerton, 374; Garden Grove, 255; Loara, 100; La Habra, 71; Huntington Beach, 185; Magnolia, 114; Placentia, 222; Orange-thorpe, 91; Santa Ana, 1705. Cashier A. W. Phelps, cashier and secretary of the American Savings bank, this week tendered his resignation and will devote his attention to his finely improved ranch north of town, and as well to the local walnut association, of which he is secretary. He will be succeeded at the bank by C. Z. Vander Horck, who came here with his family last fall, purchasing property at the corner of Palm and North streets, paying $12,000 therefor. The American Savings Bank holds larger deposits at the present time than ever before in its history, and much of its success is due to Mr. Phelps' wise and conservative management. He will have his office at the bank for the present, where walnut growers desirous of joining the association may confer with him. The Independent packing house is shipping 20 carloads of Mediterranean Sweets and will be busy this week and next filling eastern orders. This year's orange crop is the largest in the history of the state and will exceed 32,250 carloads. Oranges have been going forward the past week at 200 cars daily, which overtops the record for this season of the year. An active demand has existed during the season for oranges despite the fact that f.o.b. The Independent packing house is shipping 20 carloads of Mediterranean Sweets and will be busy this week and next filling eastern orders. This year's orange crop is the largest in the history of the state and will exceed 32,250 carloads. Oranges have been going forward the past week at 200 cars daily, which overtops the record for this season of the year. An active demand has existed during the season for oranges, despite the fact that f.o.b. orders have been few. While the crop has been unusually heavy, the crop next year will probably be light as trees are not blooming as heavily as usual. This is especially true as regards valencias. Los Angeles claims a population of 316,000 basing its claim upon the census. The Angelic statisticians multiply the number of census children, totaling 52,704 by 6, while as we showed last week, the more conservative method of determining population is to multiply by 5. This plan is apparently not to be in vogue in boom towns. Anaheim's census children number 848 and we modestly claim a population of 4240 for the district, but if we should follow the example of our big neighbor we should look pleasant and make the figure 5088. M. A. Bever has purchased of Arch Henry ten acres of unimproved land on West Orangethorpe avenue for $2500, and will set the tract to oranges. Mr. Bever is from Kansas and is accompanied by his family. He is a brother-in-law of Mr. Henry. He left this week for Kansas to settle up his business preparatory to returning to take up his permanent residence. Mrs. Bever is living on the place with her parents. Members of the "500" club were entertained by Mrs. H. Stern on Tuesday afternoon. The first prize, a cut glass plate, was awarded Miss Winifred Melrose, the second, a silver spoon was won by Mrs. Harry Dver. Delicious refreshments were served and an enjoyable afternoon participated in. The next meeting of the club will be held with Mrs. Whiting on the east side, next month. C. R. Staples has purchased a ranch southeast of town and is this week constructing a well pit, and will install pumping machinery. Mr. Staples is a former well known newspaper man and conducted newspapers in various Western cities. He is a firm disbeliever in race suicide, and last Sunday was presented by his wife with a fine baby girl. He contemplates many notable improvements and will make his ranch one of the show places of the county. Mrs. Catherine Martin died at her home at El Monte on Monday of dropsy, aged 58 years. She was a native of Germany and formerly resided here. She was the mother of five children all of whom survive her. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon from the residence of her son Carl Martin, on Chestnut street. Fritz Martin came in from Arizona to attend the funeral. Fayette Lewis '10, of this city has been elected captain of the University of California baseball team. He made the nine spring of 1908, his sophomore year. That season he filled the Mrs. Catherine Martin died at her home at El Monte on Monday of dropsy, aged 58 years. She was a native of Germany and formerly resided here.

Fritz Martin came in from Arizona to attend the funeral. Fayette Lewis '10, of this city has been elected captain of the University of California baseball team. He made the nine the spring of 1908, his sophomore year. That season he filled the position of shortstop and this spring he played second base. "Louie" as he is known was one of the best hitters on the squad this year and it was a long drive of his that brought California the deciding game of the 1908 series and another that won the first game of the season of 1909. At the last meeting of the Women's Auxiliary of the Y.M.C.A., the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Mrs. J. L. Beebe; vice president, Miss Edith Poapst; secretary, Mrs. F. G. Javne; treasurer, Mrs. T. S. Armstrong. Directors, Mrs. Tipton, Mrs. J. F. Walker. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Henry leave next Wednesday for Scotland after an absence of 55 years. They will be absent four months. They sail on the steamer President Grant, upon which Mr. Henry has engaged the bridal suite. They are looking forward to an enjoyable trip and have the good wishes of a host of friends for a pleasant trip and a safe return. On their return they will occupy a residence at the corner of Broadway and Philadelphia streets where Mr. Henry this week purchased a lot from City Clerk Merritt for $1400. Stuart Cargill has taken his departure for Yuma, Arizona where he will reside. Stuart is a first class machinest and all his friends here hope he will amass a fortune in the territory. Frank Baum and wife have moved to Bay City for the summer. Mr. Baum is erecting a commodious bungalow at the beach. Miss Lucile Brewitt of Oakland is the guest of her cousin, Mrs. Chester Holcomb and will remain for a visit of several months. Al Smith has sold ten acres of his Placentia orchard including the residence for $15,000. H. J. Fay and daughter leave this week for a two months visit with friends in Kansas City and other eastern cities. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 10, 1884 The new board of town trustees convened on Monday last and organized by the election of F. A. Korn as president. The following standing committees were appointed: Finance, L. F. Lewis, Wm. A. Witte, A. Rimpau; public improvements, Henry Kroeger, L. F. Lewis, F. A. Korn; town ordinances, Wm. A. Witte, L. F. Lewis, Henry Kroeger. M. B. Harrison was appointed town attorney. At a special meeting held May 7th the bonds of Marshal Bohn, Treasurer Plez James, Assessor Smythe and Clerk Newbold, were accepted. By resolution the marshal was ordered to collect all licenses according to the town ordinances. The board agreed to furnish a hydrant and furnish water necessary for the purpose of sprinkling the streets. The roads leading into Anaheim are in a very bad condition, and there is no consolation in knowing that they are no worse than all the other roads in the county. With such roads people will not come into town unless obliged to. With good roads there would be more people on the streets, more stir in business circles and greater pleasure in riding through the otherwise beautiful country. The face of the country never looked more captivating than it does now but the pleasure of a drive is destroyed by the beastly roads over which one has to travel. The Riverside Press and Horticulturist is enthusiastic over the new postoffice which is being fitted up in that town. "Was you ever the parent of a wuffless yaller boy?" inquired a colored woman of the judge before whom she was being examined on a charge of being unnecessarily severe in the chastisement of her offspring. "No, no!" protested the judge covered with blushes and embarrassment. "Then don't talk," was the reply, "you don't know nuffin about it." Before claiming the "best postoffice in Southern California" Brother Holt should wait until he sees the completed Anaheim postoffice. Until then in the words of the C.

Before claiming the "best postoffice in Southern California" Brother Holt should wait until he sees the completed Anaheim postoffice. Until then in the words of the C. W. aforesaid, he knows nuffin about it. M. H. Sheeseman in the fullness of his heart loaned a sojourning German a horse and wagon to move a trunk. The horse ran away, spilled the trunk and the German and scattered the wagon in fragments along the road. Although the exchequer of the sojourning German was replete with coin he refused to make good the damages, nor would he even gather up the fragments, but haughtily walked out of town via the railroad tracks. Mr. Cheeseman mourns him as a case of misplaced confidence. The Anaheim train has at last been put upon regular time. It leaves Anaheim at 6:30 a.m. and arrives at 4:30 p.m. It arrives at Los Angeles at 8:30 a.m. and leaves at 2:30 p.m. The time given visitors to Los Angeles for the transaction of business is decidedly curtailed by the new arrangement. At the annual meeting of the members of St. Michael's church, held on the evening of the 4th instant, D. W. C. Cowan, F. M. Springer and Ernest Browning were elected trustees for the ensuing year. Delegates to the Diocesan convention to be held in San Francisco the coming week were also chosen. We had a pleasant chat on Wednesday with our friend Ira Chandler of Santa Ana. Mr. Chandler is one of the pioneers of this section and has risen from the ground floor to a position of affluence and ease that is as pleasant to himself as gratifying to his numerous friends. T. P. Hinde will leave in a few days for England to resume the management of the business which he gave up seven years ago to come to this country. His family will accompany him. May the greatest good fortune attend him. Hanna & Keith report having sold the Guinn house on Center street to Dr. J. Pfeninger for $2000. The doctor has also bought 20 acres from F. J. Bockman, adjoining Alex Wright's place on the west for $2000. He will make substantial improvements on both his acquisitions. The same firm also report the following sales: A. H. Alward to Dr. Marquis, 8 acres on the north end of Los Angeles street for $1000. Dr. Marquis is from Santa Barbara and in looking for a more desirable place, found Anaheim. While unloading a barrel of lime from a wagon last week Charles Schindler received a severe blow on the leg from the barrel and a painful cut was the consequence. He was for over a week unable to walk about, but the wound is now nearly healed. The S. A. V. I. company has borrowed $5,000 from the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Los Angeles at 9 per cent. The money rattlesnakes in California are found in the mountains and in the foothill regions, this year considerable numbers have been observed at lower levels. Since 75 per cent of rattlesnake bites occur on the lower extremities they could be prevented to a large extent by wearing high top shoes, boots or heavy leggings. About 22 per cent of such bites occur on the hands and arms. This emphasizes the importance of exercising care not to put the hands in invisible places when climbing rocks and to observe carefully when removing logs or pickling up objects on the ground in places that are obscured by vegetation, brush or rocks. There is no need for undue fear of snakebites but ordinary care in preventing exposure to the risk involved may save a great deal of suffering, with possible fatal results. Certainly, no one who is informed and who acts cautiously need have fear of rattlesnake poisoning. If one should be so unfortunate as to be bitten by a rattlesnake, prompt action is necessary and a physician should be obtained as soon as possible. Suction should be applied to the place of the bite immediately. This can be applied by the mouth or by a suction cup. First a tournquet, which can be a necktie, handkerchief or bandage, should be applied around the limb just above the bite so as to increase congestion and assist in washing out the poison. A cross-cut incision with a sharp, clean knife or razor blade should be made over each fang mark, or, preferably, to connect the two fang punctures. These incisions should be at least a quarter of an inch deep and a quarter of an inch long. Suction should be applied for at least half an hour. If suction is applied within an hour from the time a person is bitten, very little additional emergency treatment is needed. If the swelling should extend however, it is necessary that a ring of short incisions be made around the swelling inside its outer edge and excution applied over such incisions. These should be about an eighth of an inch wide and a quarter of an inch deep and should not be confined to the immediate site of the injury. The most dangerous fluid is farthest away from the wound and its absorption must be prevented, as it is the source of the systemic poisoning. If there are open sores, or cuts in the mouth, or if the gums bleed easily there is some danger to the person who applies the suction, but the danger is not comparable to that of the individual who has been bitten. Snake venom is really harmless in the mouth unless it is inoculated. After applying suction to the wound, however, While unloading a barrel of lime from a wagon last week Charles Schindler received a severe blow on the leg from the barrel and a painful cut was the consequence. He was for over a week unable to walk about, but the wound is now nearly healed. The S. A. V. I. company has borrowed $5,000 from the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Los Angeles at 9 per cent. The money was needed to finish the repairs on their ditch. The sentiment in the southern part of the county is almost unanimous against a new court house under any plan. In the city the opposition is strong against the "adopted." to be corrected. "Returned for amendment" plans. Let's rub out, commence anew, and first ascertain if the people want a new courthouse. The official mantle of Mayor Ev now adorns the graceful figure of Mayor Korn. Frank transfers his zeal for the public good to his private business, and the new mayor brings a fresh stock of enthusiasm for the city's welfare. St John's Guild is the name adopted by the young men's society lately organized. Grounds for lawn tennis and croquet have been prepared. Donations of books, papers and magazines for the reading room will be greatly appreciated. A San Diego hotel regaled its guests on boiled ostrich eggs last Sunday, and the papers of that burg made a great ado over the matter. In this county it's a mighty poor hash house that doesn't give its boarders a surfeit of ostrich eggs. A very neat church is now being built on Center street by the German Evangelical association. It will probably be completed within a few weeks. The grounds surrounding St. Michael's church have been adorned with rare shrubbery, plants and flowers under the supervision of Rev. H. J. Sheridan. The new band has received additional instruments and will soon be in good tooting condition. Schindler is the leader. Bittner leads the old band. School Superintendent J. W. Hinton inspected the working system of the Anaheim public school on Thursday and found everything to meet with his approval. Cicy Treatment of Rattlesnake Bites Told by County Health Officer Makes More Numerous This Year Than For Many Past. Dr. Sutherland Cautions Victim to Remove and Not Depend On "Cures," Advocates Suction By K. H. SUTHERLAND, M. D. Health Officer, Orange County Rattlesnakes are more numerous in California this season than past. Many requests have been received by the state board in regard to emergency treatment of rattlesnake bites. These requests the state board of health has sent out the following species of this snake in California. They are as follows: - *Eluentus mitchellii* - Snake. - *Eluentus stephensi* - Snake. - *Eluentus oreganus* - Snake. - *Eluentus lotosus* - Snake. - *Red Diamond rat* - Rat. - *Mojave rat* - Rat. Species of rattlesnake and rattlesnake are the most common in the region. While most California are found in and in the foothill or considerable numbers served at lower levels, but of rattlesnake bites lower extremities they lead to a large extent by shoes, boots or heavy 22 per cent of such hands and arms. The importance of extinction put the hands in when climbing rocks long a time, gangrene may occur with the resulting description of the flesh in the affected area. If stimulation of the heart is necessary, as shown by collapse and weak pulse, a little strong coffee or aromatic spirits of ammonia in the amount of one teaspoonful to a glass of water should be administered. If anticrotalus serum is available, it should be applied. It should be recognized, however, that the serum alone can not be relied upon in the treatment of bites by rattlesnakes; if it is depended upon solely and if suction is not used, fatalities may result. It is more successful to withdraw the poison than to allow it to be absorbed and then attempt to neutralize it within the body. Furthermore, it should be recognized that the serum used must be of the sort that is made to neutralize rattlesnake bites. If the type used is that designed for some other species of snake it will be ineffective in the treatment of rattlesnake bites. It is better to obtain a physician if possible to administer the serum. However, the local treatment, as outlined, should always be carried out immediately whether the serum is used or not. If the fangs of the snake enter a site of the wound, apply suction and continue for at least half an hour. 3 Orange County Schools Employ Only One Teacher This Commonwealth is Second Low in Number of One-Teacher Schools Three, or seven per cent of the elementary school districts in Orange county employed only one teacher for the school year 1932-33, according to a study of elementary school districts in California recently made by California Taxpayers' association from figures prepared by the California state department of education. In 36 of the 58 counties of California more than half the elementary school districts employed only one teacher. In Alpine county, the smallest in the state in point of population, each of the three elementary school districts employed only one teacher. In Shasta county 79 districts, or 90.8 per cent of the elementary school districts, employed only one teacher. In El Dorado county 48, or 90.6 per cent of all the elementary school districts, employed only one teacher. On the other extreme, San Francisco county had only one school district. Orange county had only three school districts employing but one teacher, or seven per cent of the elementary school districts of the county. In Imperial county only six, or 14.6 per cent of the elementary school districts, employed only one teacher. In the State of California 1,362 elementary school districts, or 49.7 per cent of all the elementary school districts of the state, employed only one teacher in 1932-33. California are found in and in the foothill or considerable num- served at lower levels.

Furthermore, it should be recognized that the serum used must be of the sort that is made to neutralize rattlesnake bites. If the type used is that designed for some other species of snake it will be ineffective in the treatment of rattlesnake bites. It is better to obtain a physician if possible to administer the serum. However, the local treatment, as outlined, should always be carried out immediately whether the serum is used or not. If the fangs of the snake enter a vein and the poison is injected directly into the bloodstream, fatal results are almost certain to occur within a short time. In all cases of snakebite, however, the emergency treatment should be started without any delay. To Prevent Snakebite Wear high boots, high shoes, or heavy leggings when walking through snake-infested territory. Exercise care in reaching for an object or picking up an object from the ground and in climbing rocks be sure that the hands are not placed in the vicinity of a snake. What Not To Do Do not run or get overheated. Do not take any alcoholic stimulants, because circulation increased by alcohol, or by exercise, serves to distribute the poison through the body much more rapidly. Do not infuse the tissues by injecting permanganate of potash, which is known to be of no value as an antidote. Do not cauterize the site of the bite with strong acids or caustics. Do not depend upon "home remedies" or "snakebite cures" for they are absolutely of no value. What To Do Carry a clean, sharp knife or razor blade when in snake-infested territory. After making proper incisions at the seven per cent of the elementary school districts of the county. In Imperial county only six, or 14.6 per cent of the elementary school districts employed only one teacher. In the State of California 1,362 elementary school districts, or 49.7 per cent of all the elementary school districts of the state, employed only one teacher in 1932-33. Site of the wound, apply suction and continue for at least half an hour. If the proper antivenom serum is available, apply it according to directions, but most important of all is to remove as much of the poison as possible so as to prevent its absorption. Secure the services of a physician at the earliest possible moment. Homer A. Nelson, Opt. D. OPTOMETRIST Phone 3104 114 N. Lemon St. Anahiem, Calif.
