IN THE DAYS OF L 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 MAY 20, 1909 The supervisors will take action to secure a county hospital and poor farm for Orange county. At present indigents are cared for on the allowance plan. Those very ill or severely injured are sent to a private hospital and a few homeless old men are cared for in a small leased building. The rapid growth of the county makes necessary the establishment of a county hospital and poor farm. The board will make a tour of the county to look over suitable sites for the farm. Supervisor Angle says that the best method of raising funds quickly will be to levy a special tax of 10 cents, which would bring in $25,000, and a hospital poll tax, which in two years would bring in $32,000. He is certain that several thousand dollars annually would be saved by the hospital and poor farm system. Last year the county's indigents cost $24,000. At the residence of the bride's parents, corner of Broadway andPhiladelphia streets, yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, Miss Ella P. Rae, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Rae, was united in matrimony to William T. Wallop. Rev. Mitchell of the Presbyterian church performed the ceremony. Only relatives and a few intimate friends attended and at conclusion of the ceremony congratulations were showered upon bride and groom. The bride was becoming attired in a handsome gown of blue silk with hat to match.

These Files Contain the Only zens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 17, 1884 The assessor of this district has completed his work for the current year, and from his books is compiled the following table: Value of real estate other than town lots ..... $185,186 Value of improvements thereon ..... 63,070 Value of town lots ..... 43,552 Value of improvements thereon ..... 81,595 Value of improvements on real estate assessed to persons other than the owners ..... 1,300 Value of personal property ..... 119,850 Total ..... $492,653 The property of sixteen individuals in the district is mortgaged for the aggregate sum of $19.400. The real estate (other than town lots) is assessed at an average of $30 per acre. The assessed valuation last year was $469.605. The trustees have fixed the rate of taxation at 25 cents on the $100 valuation. The tax is due on Monday next, and must be paid to the Tax Collector, whose office is in the postoffice. Water is now being sold and furnished to stockholders in the Anaheim Union Water Company at the rate of 25 cents per hour for 100 inches during the day and half that rate at night—a day being construed to begin at 4 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Fifty-one hundred or two hundred inches of water are sold at the option of the purchaser, who is required to state at the time of purchase what amount of water he desires. The directors at their meeting on Saturday, in response to the proposition of the Farmers Ditch Company of Orangethorpe tendered that company 102½ shares of stock for their ditches, water rights, rights of way and all other property belonging to them. Superintendent Bailey tendered his resignation, to take effect as soon as his successor is appointed. The directors met on Monday and received the report Adjustment Group of Orange County Ready to Function J. J. Dwyer, Anaheim on Group; O. T. Stephens of La Habra Is Chairman O. T. Stephens of La Habra, J. J. Dwyer of Anaheim, Ben Osterman of El Toro, H. L. Wakeman of Santa Ana and M. B. Allen of Garden Grove this week stand appointed as members of the Orange county farm adjustment committee. This group, which serves without compensation and without legal compulsion back of its adjustments, was named by Governor James Rolph Jr. upon the recommendation of the California farm debt adjustment committee, appointed at the request of the federal farm credit administrator. In announcing the appointment of this committee, T. C. Tucker, chairman of the California farm debt adjustment committee, made the following statement: "It has been the experience of committees set up in other states that the very announcement of the appointment of such an organization has concentrated attention on the problem of adjusting debt differences between farm debtors and creditors so that efficient farmers may be able to hold title to their farms and continue to operate them. "The operations of these committees in other states have proven of profound value to agriculture and to the communities where adjustments have been effected. Delinquent taxes have been paid, current creditors have received money and farmers have been enabled."

Superintendent Bailey tendered his resignation, to take effect as soon as his successor is appointed. The directors met on Monday and received the report of Mr. Tuffree. It was to the effect that after consultation with moneyed men in San Francisco he could assert that the bonds of the company when placed upon the market would be readily purchased, probably at a premium, and he also presented some information regarding the issuance of bonds which he had received from a responsible bond broker in the city. The president and secretary were appointed to go to Los Angeles and arrange with the company's attorney for the preparation of the bonds. The engineer was instructed to divide the company's ditches into sections, and it was ordered that bids be advertised for to clean the ditches in accordance with the engineers specifications. The engineer's salary was fixed at $125 per month during the time that he is continuously at work. The rainfall on Wednesday and Thursday by Mr. E. S. Saxton's gauge was one and five-sixteenth inches. Total for the season, 26 7/16 inches. By Mr. Langenberger's gauge only forty-eight hundredths was recorded, making the total for the season 24.81 inches. Messrs. B. Dreyfus & Co. of Anaheim and San Francisco have purchased of G. Groezinger of Yuntville, Calif., 140,000 gallons of dry wines on private terms. This wine is to be shipped east. Orders are now in the state and unfilled for 500,000 gallons of similar wine. The demand for new brandy is very light, while that for mature wine is in excess of the supply. One of the largest sales of real estate this season was consummated this week by John Hanna to a San Francisco syndicate of which L. A. Kelley is the head. The land comprises 618 acres known as the Dicken rancho. It is well adapted to vines and all varieties of fruit, has two artesian wells and was sold for $60 per acre. A superior lot of liquors having been received by Captain Granet of the "Rendezvous" he announces the fact in our advertising columns. His stock of English ale and porter is especially fine. The San Francisco Chronicle of Wednesday last is a remarkable specimen of modern journalism. Besides a full and exhaustive history and description of the aims and objects of Odd Fellowship it prints a complete list of all the lodges in the state with the names of members. The issue is valuable to the brotherhood. The usually arid climate of Lower California has changed for this season at least and that country has in common with the whole coast received a drenching by the seasons rains. Adolph Rimpau who has been spending several weeks in that country returned on Monday, and reports a most luxuriant vegetation on trated attention on the problem of adjusting debt differences between farm debtors and creditors so that efficient farmers may be able to hold title to their farms and continue to operate them. "The operations of these committees in other states have proven of profound value to agriculture and to the communities where adjustments have been effected. Delinquent taxes have been paid, current creditors have received money and farmers have been enabled to continue the operation of their farms on a basis which has resulted in their being able to pay their way. "In many instances it has been only necessary to suggest to a debtor applicant that he go to his creditor and 'lay his cards on the table.' Sometimes this has resulted in an agreement which has freed the committee from the necessity of giving official attention to the application. In other instances it has been possible for the committee to refer the problem to some third party, thereby effecting an understanding without a formal hearing. "Such procedure is highly recommended by the state committee, since it has been desirable to appoint the very busy type of men to these county committees and every effort should be made to conserve their time. "When it is necessary to get creditors together with the debtor, the review which takes place at such hearings enables compromises to be more easily reached. "Also, the county committees are in an excellent position to assist the representatives of closed banks and other creditors which must proceed through the usual legal channels. "In this connection, wherever county conciliation commissioners have been appointed, the debt adjustment committees can cooperate with them to the advantage of both debtors and creditors. "It has been the experience of committees in other states that it is highly useful in many of these cases to give debtors and creditors a chance for a friendly conference with the committee. Of course, the committees always assume an impartial viewpoint, and since the proceedings are entirely informal it is not necessary for either debtor or creditors to be legally represented." At all times the committee should be prepared to recommend the delaying of foreclosures while investigations are being made or while an application for a federal farm loan for refinancing purposes is being considered. The San Francisco Chronicle of Wednesday last is a remarkable specimen of modern journalism.

The issue is valuable to the brotherhood. The usually arid climate of Lower California has changed for this season at least and that country has in common with the whole coast received a drenching by the seasons rains. Adolph Rimpau who has been spending several weeks in that country returned on Monday, and reports a most luxuriant vegetation on the desert lands of former years. The wheat and barley fields on the Las Bolsas and Los Alamitos Ranchos present an unusual appearance. Capt. Healey, engaged in surveying in that vicinity reports the grain strong, heading out well and standing five feet tall. Those who desire to bid for cleaning sections of the Anaheim ditch may get all necessary information from Mr. Kellogg, the engineer. He will be on the ground on Thursday to show the work to contractors. John A. Boyd, arrested for disturbing the peace at Westminster, on complaint of George Woodington was brought before Judge Bailey on Monday. John plead guilty and was fined, the costs amounting to seven dollars. As an instance of the fecundity of Anaheim’s soil, Mr. Crowther’s field may be cited. Two fair crops of hay have already been cut from it this year, and there is now growing on it a magnificent stand of wheat. The field was irrigate before the rains. Rev. A. L. Deering of the Methodist Episcopal church was quite badly injured a few days ago while leading an unruly cow. He became entangled in the rope and his leg was severely wrenched. The Odd Fellow’s brick building on Los Angeles street was purchased at sheriff’s sale on Monday by F. A. Korn and J. P. Zeyn for $3,554. C. W. Moores has been appointed school census marshal and will at once begin his duties. Max Nebelung assisted in laying the cornerstone of the Odd Fellow’s building in San Francisco on Wednesday. At all times the committee should be prepared to recommend the delaying of foreclosures while investigations are being made or while an application for a federal farm loan for refinancing purposes is being considered. In those cases which present a legitimate reason for foreclosure, the committee should be in a position to advise the creditor as to procedure. One of the main duties of committees will be to estimate a just basis for scaling down loans so that a proper adjustment may be made. In this connection, county committees can be of great aid in closing federal farm loans. Also, committees should be prepared to recommend extension agreements which in a sense will 'freeze' the accumulated indebtedness and provide for the division of available income among creditors, taking into consideration priority of claims until such time as it may seem advisable to effect a more permanent settlement of the case. The committee may also be of considerable assistance to judges passing on debt cases by presenting pertinent information based upon an impartial investigation of a debtor’s property and his financial standing. These represent only a few of the more important ways by which county adjustment committees may render service. There is no question that the personnel of the committees appointed in California indicate a recognition of the responsibilities imposed upon them, and I am sure that they will have the confidence of the people of the counties which they represent. With this type of personnel and following the procedure which has been found successful in other states, there is every reason to believe that equitable and fair adjustments of debt difficulties will be reached by these committees." The committee for Orange county is prepared to function, and on application of debtors will be glad to furnish blanks whereby their case may be presented to the committee for action.

WARNING to EXPECTANT MOTHERS If you have ever been a patient in any hospital, you are probably familiar with the advantages of a liquid laxative. Doctors know the value of the laxative whose dose can be measured, and whose action can thus be controlled to suit your individual need. The public, too, is fast returning to the use of liquid laxatives. People have now learned that a properly prepared liquid laxative brings a perfect movement without discomfort at the time, or after. Dr. Caldwell's long experience with mothers and babies, and his remarkable record of nearly three thousand births without the loss of one mother or child, should give anybody complete confidence in any prescription which he wrote! But most important of all, a gentle liquid laxative does not cause bowel strain to the most delicate system, and this is of the utmost importance to expectant mothers and to every child. Expectant mothers are urged to try gentle regulation of bowels with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is a delightful tasting laxative of delightful action, made of fresh herbs, pure pepsin and active senna. Not a single mineral drug; nothing to cause strain or irritate the kidneys. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an approved preparation and kept ready for use by all druggists.
