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 PAGE TWO 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 21, 1884 On Friday of last week a cyclone in miniature passed over Pasadena doing great damage to orchards in its path. The damage was done principally by hail which fell during the passage of the cloud, leaves and fruit being stripped from trees and vines. It is such incidents as this which deprives somewhat of its absurdity the native theory mentioned elsewhere that the climate here has changed and that since Americans came to California there have not been three successive dry seasons, while prior to that time it was a common occurrence. If it is true that the climate of Southern California has changed since its settlement by Americans, may it not also be true that the cyclones of Indiana have been drawn hither by some subtile influence surrounding the Hoosiers of Pasadena? The Gazette learns from good authority that Catalina Island will be prohibited to campers this summer on the plea that here-to fore considerable damage has resulted from carelessness with fire. The resort has been steadily growing in favor and many people will read this paragraph with keen disappointment. The island belongs to the Lick estate, and the trustees of the property offer it for sale for $100,000. A project is now being pushed which gives promise of resulting in the purchase of the island, and its transformation into a resort exclusively for the use of the purchasers. It is proposed to form a joint stock company with a capital of $200,000 in shares of a value of $1000 each. One-half of the capital will buy the island and with the other half a clubhouse and adjuncts can be built and the island stocked with game, so that it will be transformed into a vast shooting ground. The inaccessibility of the island, which is the chief objection could be in a great measure overcome by having a swift steam launch ply between San Pedro and the island. Sixty shares have already been subscribed by San Francisco capitalists. Cloudiness culminated in day morning or two. The to is not altogether mon.

He is quoted by the Los Angeles Herald as saying that while on his way he drove over three miles of road below Fulton Wells that were covered with little toads, about one-fourth grown. The whole ground was closely covered with them and thousands were killed by the horses and wagon of Mr. McFadden as he drove along the road on the way to the city. He wants to know why this is thus and where the creatures come from? The large and brilliant company present at the residence of Mrs. Sheffield on Thursday evening thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment offered by the ladies of St. Michael's church. The beautiful grounds were illuminated with Chinese colored lanterns. The house was decorated with flowers such as only this land can produce. The company was gay. The music enlivening. The young ladies enchanting. The refreshments excellent and everyone happy. This item from the San Diego Union is reprinted for the special information of Rev. Mr. Sheridan, whose church (St. Michael’s Episcopal) is besieged with bees: “Rev. Mr. Dodge says he is not much troubled with the half dozen swarms of bees that took possession of his premises some weeks ago. To rid his place of the intruders he has adopted the use of the shot gun and blank cartridge. By firing into them, the concussion being so great, thousands can be killed at one shot. The chimney in the house and every place on the premises where they alighted has been honey-combed. The beautiful town residence known as the Seibert place has been purchased by Mr. Stoddard from Minnesota and is now occupied by his family. The house and grounds are fitted up and adorned with exquisite taste, and the owner is to be congratulated upon securing one of the finest residences in Southern California. The present season bids fair to equal “the year without a summer” which is described on the first page by an eastern writer who as a small child lived in New York state in the year 1816. It is now the tail end of June and there has not yet been a genuine summer day. The phenomenon can only be accounted for on the hypothesis that this is an exceptional year. (That was 1884 and the weather seems to be repeated in this year 1934, which is also “an exceptional year.”—Ed.) Fulton Wells has been purchased by a syndicate composed of M. L. Wicks, Dr. Widney, R.

Fulton Wells has been purchased by a syndicate composed of M. L. Wicks, Dr. Widney, R. M. Widney, J. M. Griffith, B. F. Coulter, I. R. Dunkelberger and C. E. Thom. The new management will not make the water more pleasant to the taste nor more agreeable to the smell, but it will popularize the resort and make it famous. The County Board of Education has adopted the following text books for use in the schools: Bancroft's first, second, third, fourth and fifth readers; Robinson's arithmetic, Thompson's Intellectual arithmetic; Thompson's practical algebra; Swinton's language lessons, Swinton's English grammar and composition. The following books now in use were re-adopted: Harper's geography, Maury's physical geography, Anderson's U. S. history, Bryant and Stratton's bookkeeping. On next Friday, the 27th instant, the Anaheim Public Schools will close for the regular vacation of ten weeks. The usual examination of pupils will be held on next Wednesday, Thursday and parents and all others interested are invited to be present. A Republican campaign paper will shortly be issued at San Pedro. Gen. Brierly will be editor, and as he knows as much, if not more, than anyone else of matters political, the paper will be a lively and interesting one. A flock of seven hundred turkeys were turned into two vineyards in Fresno to destroy myriads of caterpillars and grasshoppers, which were devastating the vines. The experiment was successful. Thanksgiving diners will bear in mind this opportunity for procuring material. A dog pound is in full blast under the direction of Marshal Bohn as head ring master, and is the center of attraction for the small boy. Owners of dogs must now beware the argus-eyed majesty of the law in the person of the town marshal. A jet black squirrel has been captured in one of Anaheim's vineyards. The fact is respectfully referred to the compilers of the next edition of Audubon's Natural History. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 24, 1909 Cloudiness prevailing on Thursday afternoon and evening culminated in a rain which began falling about 3 o'clock on Friday morning. The showers were light and continued for an hour or two. The total precipitation was .08 of an inch. Rain in June is not altogether unknown in Southern California but is uncommon. One of the oldest inhabitants remembers he saw copious showers fall here on the fourth of July—forty years ago. The record for June rainfall is as follows: June 1884, 1.28 inches; June 1901, .03; June 1902, .18; June 1906, .06; June 1907, .11; June 1909, .08. Theodore E. Schmidt is lying at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. J. H. Bullard of Los Angeles, suffering from painful injuries as the result of a fall sustained by him in Elysian Park, Wednesday afternoon while descending Mount McKinley, the highest peak in the park. Yesterday he was reported resting easily and it is hoped he will soon be out again. Mr. Schmidt is one of the only four remaining pioneers of Anaheim, having been one of the original incorporators of the colony enterprise in 1857. He resides in this city and despite his 84 years is a great pedestrian and spends much of his time taking long walks.

The other articles will appear in this publication at an early date.) By EDSON ABEL Secretary, Agricultural Prorate Commission The year 1932 was exceptionally replete with failures on the part of California agricultural producers to receive their costs of production, and the burden of these failures, coming as they did after a series of none too successful seasons, was necessarily passed along, in part, to other groups engaged in agricultural industries. The conclusion forced upon leaders in agricultural marketing was that resort must be had to methods of market stabilization as yet untried of the agricultural producers of the state were to be saved from eventual ruin. The possibilities of voluntary control programs of various kinds had been thoroughly explored and found insufficient for success. A small minority of producers always refused to go along on such plans and invariably these small minorities actuated for the most part by their own selfishness, prevented favorable results.

Irving Quarton earned a quarter on Saturday afternoon by trapping a gopher which debouched in the sidewalk parking in front of Mr. Finney's place on Claudina street. Fearing the gopher would attack the roots of a shade tree, Street Superintendent Steadman offered Irving two bits to capture it. In two hours he had the varmint caught. In two minutes he "blowed in" his money for fire crackers. Bully for Irving. Mrs. Frank Shanley delightfully entertained the members of the Ladies Euchre club at her home on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Arthur Lewis was awarded the first prize, a half dozen spoons; Mrs. Strodthoff the second prize, a silver berry spoon, and Mrs. McLauchlin the consolation, a silver thimble. J. P. Zeyn is ill at his home with heart trouble. Mr. Zeyn is one of the four remaining pioneers of the Mother Colony. Dr. Johnston is in attendance and yesterday reported his patient seriously ill. The Methodist congregation has been considering remodeling and enlarging their building. The work will probably be commenced in the next thirty days. When finished, the edifice will have a seating capacity of 500. Bids will be opened by the high school trustees at Judge Howard's office on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock for making alterations in the high school building. The assembly hall will be enlarged to greater seating capacity, and the architect estimates the probable cost from $4500 to $5000. Contractors are asked to have bids in for the work. Last week Mrs. Gates, the well known florist donated to the new Carnegie library over $30 worth of choice plants, trees and shrubs, some of them being very valuable and worth up to $2.00 each, including one rubber tree, 2 sago palms, 2 Seaforthico Elegens, 2 large flower cactus, 1 camilia, 1 magnolia, 2 hydran- The Denver News of June 4th come to hand with a photograph 1 rice paper tree, 1 Grevillea, 1 scarlet Passio vine, 250 pansy plants and other plants, which in a few years, if taken care of, will make the library grounds one of the most beautiful spots in our city.

Backs, inside doorkeeper; Ed Marion, Alma The possibilities of voluntary control programs of various kinds had been thoroughly explored and found insufficient for success. A small minority of producers always refused to go along on such plans and invariably these small minorities actuated for the most part by their own selfishness, prevented favorable results. More or less as a coincidence, both the California Farm Bureau Federation and the California State Chamber of Commerce, in the fall of 1932, requested the Giannini Foundation of the University of California to devise a plan which would meet the necessities of this situation. Dr. E. A. Stokdyk, then a member of the faculty of the foundation and now president of the Bank for Cooperatives at Berkeley, and also a member of the agricultural prorate commission, was detailed to this task. Dr. Stokdyk was already thoroughly familiar with the marketing problems confronting California agriculture and had just concluded his efforts in assisting the grape growers of the Lodi section in the handling of their surplus Tokays. In that deal, he had participated in the development and management of a protration plan of curtailment which worked marvellously well for a while. It was purely voluntary in character and no means were available to compel adherence to the plan, but as long as it was substantially complied with, satisfactory price levels were maintained. Growers wasted little money harvesting, packing and shipping grapes to overload markets and were in a fair way to net slightly more than their costs of production. Soon, however, the greed which seems to be inherent in human nature triumphed over loyalty by refusing to curtail any longer, broke away. They made little extra money that way, but their example was followed by more and more until the whole plan broke down, curtailment ceased and price levels went to pieces. Here was another instance of a well-planned effort being wrecked upon the identical rock which had been responsible for numerous similar casualties in the past. Experience has shown that the omission of even five per cent of the production from a voluntary agricultural marketing control program is a fatal weakness which will eventually ruin the best plan ever devised. The problem then was to find a way by which a substantial majority of the producers could compel compliance by all with the marketing control desired by the majority. If all of the producers knew they were being treated alike, little complaint would arise from eventual ruin. --- The Denver News of June 4th come to hand with a photograph 1 rice paper tree, 1 Grevillea, 1 scarlet Passio vine, 250 pansy plants and other plants, which in a few years, if taken care of, will make the library grounds one of the most beautiful spots in our city.

The wedding of Leo Harris and Miss Esther Hirshfeld was solemnized at the residence of the bride's parents, 1361 South Hope street, Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock, Rabbi Hecht officiating. Guests to the number of eighty were present. After the wedding an elaborate repast was enjoyed, the caterer being Levy, the well known restaurateur. Mr. and Mrs. Harris will reside at Lancaster where the groom is in business. The groom is a brother of Mrs. Asher and Mrs. Falkenstein, and the bride a niece of Mr. Asher. Dr. Flood was the recipient of a surprise on Wednesday evening last at his Broadway home by a number of his friends who called to pay their respects on the occasion of his birthday. Progressive whistle was the feature of the evening with Miss Mable Gade and Mr. Barnes winners of high score, and Miss Helen Richardson and Oscar Heying consolation. Refreshments were served and an enjoyable time was had by all. Officers for Anaheim Encampment I. O. O. F. have been elected as follows: W. G. Mason, C. P.; Max Boege, H. P.; F. S. Gates, S. W.; Wm. Goodwin, J. W.; F. C. Spencer, S.; L. C. Edwards, treasurer; N. B. Tedford, trustee.

Experience has shown that the omission of even five per cent of the production from a voluntary agricultural marketing control program is a fatal weakness which will eventually ruin the best plan ever devised. The problem then was to find a way by which a substantial majority of the producers could compel compliance by all with the marketing control desired by the majority. If all of the producers knew they were being treated alike, little complaint would arise and enforcement would be a comparatively simple matter. United States supreme court had just decided in the Champlin case that a proration program on the production of oil which applied impartially to all producers did not violate the constitutional rights of the owner of the oil land. While the two cases were not identical in the principles involved, there was enough similarity to suggest a way in which the greed of the few could be prevented from working the misery of the many. In January, 1933, Dr. Stokdyk submitted his recommendation to the two Glannini Foundation, and the California Farm Bureau Federation undertook to prepare the legislation for introduction at the session of the legislature then under way. The bill was introduced in the senate by Senator Ray Hays of Fresno county (S.B. 499) and in the assembly by Assemblymen Meeker, of Fresno county, Scudder, of Sonoma county, Clowdsley, of San Joaquin county, Robinson, of Imperial county, Alter of San Bernardino county, O'Donnell, of Yolo county, and Zion, of Stanislaus county, (A.B. 1122). During the legislative interim, the proposed legislation was submitted to various interested groups throughout the state and with the benefit of their suggestions placed in final form. Late in the session, A.B. 1122 passed both houses by substantial majorities and was subsequently signed by Governor Rolph. Shortly thereafter the governor appointed as members of the agricultural prorate commission, the body Farm Mortgage Bond Market Still Strong Quotations on federal farm mortgage corporation bonds on the San Francisco market during the first part of this week were: First issue of 3¼ per cent, bid 101-29/32; asked, 102-1/32; second issue of 3 per cent, bid 100-13/32; asked, 100-17/32. Seeks Divorce As Arrest Threatened Howard W. Zimmer's suit for divorce from Mina J. Zimmer was on file in superior court this week. He charges that his wife, living in New York, has made repeated threats to have him arrested and taken back on charges of abandoning her, although he claims to have sent her money regularly. The complaint states that the couple was married at Binghamton, N. Y., November 16, 1912, and separated June 16, 1931. Charged with administering the act, the following outstanding men: A. J. McFadden of Santa Ana, J. J. Brooks, of Walnut Grove, Roy M. Pike, of Vernalis, O. W. Schleussner, of Los Angeles, George H. Hecke, of Woodland, Howard Miller, of Los Angeles, Fred W. Read, of Sacramento, Preston McKinney, of San Francisco, and Dr. E. A. Stokdyk, of Berkeley. Mr. McFadden was elected president. Members of the commission receive no salary but are reimbursed their actual expenses incurred in the performance of the duties.
