IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 7, 1884 The next President of the United States: His name JIM BLAINE of Maine. The National Republican convention at Chicago proceeded to ballot for president yesterday morning. The first ballot resulted in three hundred and sixty-nine votes for James G. Blaine. Necessary for a choice four hundred and eleven. Upon the second ballot New York state cast her vote for the Maine statesman, increasing his vote to four hundred and two. The announcement of the result of the fourth ballot was followed by declaring James G. Blaine of Maine the Republican nominee for the presidency, he having received four hundred and fourteen votes, being a majority of all the votes cast. The remarkable success attending the colony experiment which has resulted in the substantial and prosperous town of Anaheim, has no doubt been the primary incentive to its imitation in other localities. The day has passed when it was necessary to argue for or produce evidence of the merits of Southern California for agricultural or horticultural purposes. A glance at the thousands of acres of grain, the orange groves of Riverside and the vineyards of Anaheim is convincing that the climate, soil and all necessary adjuncts are present and the limit for development is infinite. We do not claim for Anaheim a superiority of location, of soil or climate over any other portion of Los Angeles county that has successfully met the requirements of horticultural cultivation, but with emphasis say that our orchards and vineyards are not excelled on the face of the globe. And they are not hawked for sale. More vineyards, more good citizens are wanted and there can be found adoring us room for the former and a At the regular June meeting of the board of town trustees, the committee on public improvements was by resolution authorized to make arrangements with property owners for construction and repair of sidewalks. Now, gentlemen of the committee, let your light shine by your good work. Town Marshal Bohn publishes a notice that he will enforce the dog tax which is one dollar for every dog owned or kept in the town of Anaheim. This will probably result in a curtailment of curs. Now let the marshal enforce the law which prohibits the staking of animals in such a way as to permit them to encroach upon the public highway. The practice is as prevalent as it is dangerous. The town treasurer reports the total receipts for the year ending May 15, 1884 to be $3998.44, derived from the following sources: Water $1357.59; licenses $419.25; taxes $1673.82; cash on hand $547.78; total $3998.44. The disbursements for the year were: Water works construction $1121.93; expenses $1155.98; roads $796.03; current expenses $724.70; salaries $188.00; total $3986.64. Leaving a balance in the treasury of $11.80. A special meeting of the members of Confidence Fire company was held on Tuesday evening at which it was resolved to give a fireman's grand ball on the night of the Fourth of July. The following general committee of arrangements was appointed: E. J. Pellegrin, S. A. Dennis, Frank Ey, John Langenberger, David Rich, Henry Padderatz. Pasadena has a brass band and it meets weekly for practice. It is feared that this will have a depressing effect on the price of real estate—Press and Horticulturist. Anaheim has two brass bands and they meet twice a week for practice. Perhaps that is the reason why good land in this vicinity is so cheap. Ladies' handkerchiefs this season in Paris match the gown, so that if your gown is made of a material with a design of rosebuds, you should have a handkerchief with a rosebud border. If your gown is brown tweed your handkerchief should have a brown border, and if your dress is made of striped material your handkerchief should have a border striped to match. The latest novelties in men's handkerchiefs have a border of little red or black devils in grotesque attitudes. At the request of a number of citizens C. E.

The latest novelties in men's handkerchiefs have a border of little red or black devils in grotesque attitudes. At the request of a number of citizens C. E. Leonard has consented to become a candidate for school trustee. W. M. Bailey is not a candidate for re-election. Mr. Leonard will make an excellent trustee as he has the rare quality of doing well whatever he undertakes to do. The election will be held this afternoon, beginning at 1 P.M. At the annual commencement of St. Vincent's college in Los Angeles, a premium in history and orthography was awarded to Benjamin Kraemer of Anaheim, and a premium in algebra to Prudencio Yorba of Upper Santa Ana. We have been shown a sample of rye grown by Ed Newhan on the Kraemer ranch which presents an extraordinary exhibit of this year's grain crop. The heads are double and in length measure nine inches, well filled with bright plump grain. Until the present season the manufacture of ice in Southern California has been in the hands of a monopoly. Los Angeles now has two ice companies with ample facilities to meet the demand and at greatly reduced prices. H. C. Gade is the agent for Anaheim. The directors of the sixth district agricultural association met on Monday, and decided that the next fair be held from October 15th to 18th inclusive. R. H. Hewitt was elected secretary, since De Camp resigned. At the commencement exercises of the Napa Ladies Seminary held last week, Miss Laura W. Hanna of Anaheim was one of the graduates. To Miss Hanna was accorded the honor of delivering the valedictory. The subject of her essay was "Modern Fig Leaves." Business enterprise has broken out in a new place. Two Concord coaches and an elegant carriage now meet all trains at the depot, affording ample facilities to the traveling public to get in or out of town. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only zens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 10, 1909 Next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock the new $70 fire-siren will be sounded, and an illustration given of the manner of indicating where a fire may be. Three long blasts will be given to illustrate the usual alarm for fires, and short blasts immediately following to indicate its location. Thus for a fire in District No. 1, one short blast will follow the general alarm, two short blasts for District No. 2, and so on. The Anaheim fire company at its meeting Wednesday evening adopted the alarm system and divided the city into four districts. District No. 1 is the territory south of Center and West of Los Angeles streets; No. 2 north of Center and west of Los Angeles; No. 3 north of Center and east of Los Angeles; No. 4 south of Center and east of Los Angeles. Water from the Yorba reservoir has supplied irrigators in the south and west portions of the district for nearly a month running eight heads daily. No water has run into the reservoir since May 26th, the entire river stream being turned into north side ditches. The reservoir contains a sufficient supply for another month's service. No scarcity of water has been felt, and better service is being given than ever. Up to the 35-foot level the reservoir shows practically no leakage, and the loss above that height will be eliminated in time. The pumping plant at Crowther's corner lifts 450 inches and cannot exhaust the supply in the pit. Irrigators are happy, night irrigation has been cut out, and crops are good. As a result of target practice at the range the last two Sundays by members of Company E, the following qualified for attending the regimental shoot to be held in Los Angeles on June 11-12: Emil Boege, John Cadman, A. Nowatny, Harry Speilman, John Kellenberger, John Selinger and Floyd Hatfield. At this shoot a team will be selected to participate at the state shoot. Big Increase In Vacationists Is Shown for April 46,333 Out-of-State Persons to Spend $121,584 in Gasoline Taxes Alone Marking the seventh consecutive month which has shown an increase in out-of-state motor tourist traffic to California, 46,333 vacationists arrived in the state during April, according to California department of agriculture figures, resulting from an actual count at the border gateways. "This is an increase of 12.7 per cent over the corresponding period of 1933 and the seventh consecutive month since last October we have had a definite upturn in motor tourist travel," said Dr. A. H. Glannini, chairman, general executive committee, Bank of America, and a director of the All-Year club. "Checks extending over a period of years establish the fact that these motor tourists while here will account for $121,584 in gas tax alone returned to the state." These totals do not include local travel from neighboring states or California returning home, both of which are omitted from the motor tourist arrival figures. Arrivals via railroad, air, steamship and stage lines are not included." being given than ever.

At this shoot a team will be selected to participate at the state shoot, when a team will be chosen to represent the state guardsmen in the national shoot. In the last two national contests Lieut. Selinger of the local company was a member of the state team. Mrs. Whiting entertained the 500 club at her home on the east side on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Stern was awarded first prize, a jardiniere, Miss Winifred Melrose the second, a scarf, and Mrs. Crone the consolation, a pitcher. Refreshments were served and an enjoyable meeting of the club participated in. A. Pierotti and family have returned from a year’s visit in Italy, England, France and Ireland. Mr. Pierotti, one of the wealthy orange growers of Placentia, devoted some time to looking up the fruit and nut industries of the foreign countries. He says he found some walnuts in Italy and France and that the growers over there are complaining of blight or walnut disease the same as we have in California, but that it is not so bad there as the industry is not so extensive. An auto party consisting of Herman Dickel, Frank Shanley, John Hartung, Sam Kraemer, Otto Storm, W. Wuesthoff and George Goetsch spent Sunday at San Juan Capistrano as guests of Judge Richard Egan. The alcalde was as usual a prince of hosts and the pleasures of the day are never to be forgotten. On the return trip Mr. Wuesthoff punctured a tire the other side of Irvine station, but Dick Harris luckily happened along and a wheel was loaned by him and the remainder of the trip was made without further mishap. Anaheim took Olinda into camp at baseball on the local grounds on Sunday by a score of 3 to 2. The game was one of the best played by these teams this year. The line-up: Anaheim, Waidler, 2b; Fischer, ss; Butcher, c; Hedges, 3b; Hatfield, 1b; Bittner, lf; Schneider, cf; Mauerhan, rf; Huntington, p. Olinda Bazard, p; Craig, 2b; Collins, c; Brown, ss; Lloyd, 1b; Romers, 3b; Moss, cf; Jones, lf; Hatfield, rf. The locals made 8 hits off Bazard, while the visitors amassed 6 off Huntington. Next Sunday the locals play Olive on the grounds here and the Sunday following the Teddy Bears of Los Angeles. The Ebell club was delightfully entertained on Saturday afternoon by members of the German section. Songs, papers, recitations and a very good comedy “An American Duel,” comprised the program. Among those taking part in the afternoon’s entertainment were Mrs. Burgess, Mrs. Martha Wallop, Mrs. Otto Storm, Miss Sophie Rimpau, Miss Fay McKinley, Miss Klein, Miss Ross, Miss Theresa Fay. Graduates of A. U. H. S. presented the play “The Schoolmis- Tax On Beverages Brings In Million During First Year Assessed Leins More Than Doubled in Season; Beer Forms Bulk of Income Marking completion of the first year of the California beverage tax under the “New Deal” with respect to sale of beer and wine, H. G. Cattell, member of the state board of equalization, reports that the total collections have been $919,836.13. Taxes on beer and wine at 2 cents per gallon for the month of April have been assessed at $117,734.63, as contrasted with only $55,670.89 for the same month last year, so that the tax has more than doubled during the 12-month period. “In making this comparison,” Cattell points out, “there must be allowance for the fact that practically no wine was sold within the 3.2 per cent alcoholic content limitation in April a year ago. However, 86 per cent of the tax for last month was based on sales of beer so that the 5,096,280 gallons of that beverage subject to tax is still almost double the 2,783,543 taxed in April, 1933. “Wine sales amounted to 790,444 gallons, representing 14 per cent of the total beverage on which tax was assessed. Only 38,760 gallons of this wine was imported, so that but one per cent of the beverage tax is attributable to sales of wine not produced in California.” Cattell finds that there is similar marked preference for California beer. The output of local breweries is accountable for 80 per cent of the April tax, whereas beer brought in from outside points amounted to only 349,510 gallons, representing but six per cent of the total beverage tax. While beer continues to supply the principal source of the beverage tax, I believe that the wine tax will assume larger proportions later,” said Cattell. “Due to litigation, there has been some uncertainty until now as to our authority to tax wine of alcoholic content in excess of 3.2 per cent.” “The state supreme court has just upheld action of the third district court of appeal, sustaining our tax on The Ebell club was delightfully entertained on Saturday afternoon by members of the German section.

Graduates of A. U. H. S. presented the play "The Schoolmistress" to an audience which filled the opera-house to the doors last evening. Those having parts in the play were Leland Lewis, Raymond Nebelung, Elton Goble, Richard Ables, Walter Cadman, Herman Wedel, Joseph Burns, Laura Newman, Marie Finney, Lilly Zeus, Gertrude Asher, Lois Blake, Viola Susmil, Iva Cameron. Chas Federman was in town on Thursday and Friday last in attendance upon a meeting of directors of the American Savings Bank. He reports business conditions good in the Angelic city and looks the prosperous wholesaler that he is. Bill Hill is preparing to inaugurate threshing operations which will begin early next month. He looks for an excellent yield and on the Bastanchury ranch expects the largest crop ever harvested there. Bob Mills and Dr. Perdomo were guests of the former's relatives at Riverside on Sunday. They made the trip in an auto and the return was made in two hours and twenty minutes. The distance is 48 miles. Going some. W. D. Buchanan, recently of Flagstaff, Arizona, a graduate of the University of Chicago has been engaged by the high school board as teacher of science and athletics. Miss Anna Quirk of Lemore, Calif., has been engaged as teacher of drawing. H. Schwentker reports the following sales of real estate: 20 acres for $3,000 from Wm. Stewardson to R. Meger; 10 acres for $4000 from Wm. Wohlgemuth to Mr. Bishop. Born in Los Angeles, Friday, June 4th to the wife of Harley Payne, a daughter. Mrs. Payne was formerly Miss Julia Nemetz of this city. City Engineer Steward this week ran lines and established levels for paving on Los Angeles and Center streets. While beer continues to supply the principal source of the beverage tax, I believe that the wine tax will assume larger proportions later," said Cattell. "Due to litigation, there has been some uncertainty until now as to our authority to tax wine of alcoholic content in excess of 3.2 per cent. "The state supreme court has just upheld action of the third district court of appeal, sustaining our tax on wine, and I anticipate now that tax collections on this beverage will show substantial gain." Bank's Index Best In Last 24 Months The Bank of America index of far western business for April, 1934, registered 65.0, which is the highest point reached in the last 24 months, according to the bank's Business Review released this week. The April, 1934, index was 15 percent higher than April of last year. Send $1. for the next 5 months of THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY MAKE the most of your reading hours.

McKillips face four months in the Orange county jail as a condition to ten years' probation growing out of conviction on perjury charges in Judge Homer G. Ames' court last week. Mrs. Kately was given a ten-day stay of execution, while McKillips was serving a 90-day jail sentence as a result of conviction of a hit-and-run charge. It was in connection with the trial on hit-and-run driving that perjury, to which both pleaded guilty, occurred. McKillips was convicted of driving his car when it collided with Emil Goubert of Seal Beach in March, although he and Mrs. Kately testified that he was not in Orange county at the time of the accident, saying the machine must have been drive by someone else.
