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 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 28, 1884 Statistics of the rainfall in the state of California from the first of September last up to the first of the present month show the heaviest fall in San Luis Obispo county amounting to 40.67 inches. Los Angeles county is next with 39.85 inches. This does not include the storms of about June 10th which would increase the total from one to three inches. The attention of the city fathers is directed to the fact that from the absence of sidewalks and proper protection, a well-known citizen, in the darkness of the night, walked into a ditch of flowing water with serious injury to body and raiment. We advise the gentleman to bring suit for damages which would at least amount to a sum sufficient to sidewalk and bridge the locality where the accident occurred. Saturday afternoon a gentleman named Jose Maria Romero stepped into the county clerk's office in Los Angeles and stated that he desired to become a voter. Enrolling Clerk Smith always ready to oblige, took his name, but was a little taken aback when the man gave the ripe old age of 102 years. The gentleman seems to be sprightly and gay as a man of fifty and contemplates entering the state of matrimony in a few years. He is the oldest resident on the Great Register. The Steamer San Jose, which last week sailed for New York, carried 47,366 gallons of California wines and 240 gallons of brandy, the heaviest shippers being Messrs. B. Dreyfus & Co. and Kohler & Frohling. Every steamer that leaves California for New York carries about the same amount of these products, valued at $30,000. There is a steadiness about this trade that no other product supplies.

There is a steadiness about this trade that no other product supplies. Los Angeles was decked in holiday attire during the Turnfest. Flags, bunting, and wreaths of evergreen were in great profusion. Many prominent buildings were elaborately festooned with streamers, flags and lanterns. In the evening the effect was striking in the soft and mellow light of the electric lamps. Parties of Turn Verein visitors from San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and other places have been in Anaheim for several days. On Thursday forty or more arrived and were entertained with serenades and in the evening with a ball at Kroeger's hall. Friday was spent in visiting friends, the ostrich farm and other places of interest. Most of the visitors returned this morning. Some time ago a young son of W. M. McFadden put his foot in the cogwheel of a machine which was being manipulated by his sire and the result was a badly lacerated toe. Another son, two weeks ago, was playing in the vineyard while his father was topping vines and received a blow from the knife which nearly took a finger off. On Monday still another son had the tine of a pitchfork run through his hand while Mr. McFadden was pitching hay. The boys will learn after awhile to give their energetic father a clear field when he is at work. There is a gleam of hope for those who wish to go to Europe without the ocean journey. It is proposed to build a railroad along the Pacific coast to the extremity of Alaska where a ferriage would connect the tourist with the Russian railway system which would be extended to the Siberian side of Behrings Strait, which at that point is only 45 miles wide. Parlor cars transferred to the steamers might give practically an overland route from New York to St. Petersburg without change. The traffic on this line might not-at present be overpowering, and the item of snow ploughs and snow sheds would figure largely in the expenses. Still the scheme is at any rate quite as promising as that of going to Europe in a balloon. Walter D. Stephenson a former resident of Anaheim, now of Los Angeles, was in town on Wednesday last. Mr. Stephenson is mentioned as a possible successor to Stephen M. White in the office of district attorney, and we may add that a worse choice could be made by the democrats. After a ride over the Anaheim branch of the Southern Pacific railroad one draws a sigh of relief and indulges in mental thanks that a miracle has attended his journey. The track is in such a condition that nothing but constant vigilance on the part of the trainmen prevents disaster. A serious accident would not be a surprise to those familiar with the dangerous condition of the Los Angeles, was in town on Wednesday last.

With headquarters in Los Angeles, professionals in the burglary, pick-pocketing and bunko-steering line are extending operations to such portions of the county as seem to them inviting fields. R. M. Chilson of Anaheim, was relieved of a valuable gold watch on the Santa Monica train on Monday. Anaheimers will do well to be on the alert and to lock the stable door before the horse is stolen. At Verdugo on last Saturday night Francisco Martinez killed A. Chavez by shooting him with a pistol. Both were intoxicated and quarreled about some trivial matter. It is thought however, that the principal motive of the murderer was to gain possession of $20 which Chavez was known to have. Colonel H. G. Otis of the Los Angeles Times has declined the unsolicited appointment of United States Consul at Tien Tsin, China, recently tendered him by the State Department through United States Senator John F. Miller of California. With the express matter arriving at Anaheim on Wednesday was a large box from New York consigned to J. J. Duff. It contained a fine Newfoundland dog in excellent condition which upon being released expressed his pleasure upon the termination of the journey in an enthusiastic manner peculiar to the genus. The Bank of Anaheim received on Monday a new burglar proof safe, fitted with a time lock, and the cashier's rest is now undisturbed by any fear of the expert cracksmen who seem to be unpleasantly numerous in this county just now. The rate of postage on newspapers and periodicals has been reduced to one cent for each four ounces or fraction thereof—just half the rate hitherto charged. The postage must in every instance be prepaid. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 1, 1909 The Sisters of St. Dominic this week awarded a contract to Bender & Silbernagle, local contractors for the erection of brick additions to their present convent building on Palm street which will cost upward of $30,000. The new building will be three stories high, with cement foundation and will have a frontage immediately adjoining the present brick building on the south of 70 feet, with a depth of 40 feet. Added to the present 50 foot frontage the new convent will have a total frontage of 120 feet with a depth of 50 feet. The structure will be of exceedingly ornate architecture and will make an imposing appearance. The building will be ready for occupancy by Christmas and will have ample accommodations for 300 pupils. At present the school contains 160 boys, and it requires the constant attention of 21 sisters to properly care for them. Singularly enough while measles have been epidemic at the public schools, not a single case of that ailment or of whooping cough has existed at the convent during the past year. The first building to be erected by the Sisters here was in 1889. In July 1894, the first addition was built for the boys' home. In 1897 a second addition was constructed and in 1900 other notable additions to the building were made. The chapel was erected in 1905. The present buildings and grounds occupy a slightly tract of 26 acres, the grounds being highly ornamented with trees, lawns, shrubs and flowers. Secretary Krick of the Water company reports irrigating water more abundant than ever before, and states that probably the usual half-hour summer run will not be resorted to. All irrigators have been supplied a full hour's run, and the sales during May of this year amounted to $7311, the highest monthly sales in the history of the company. The largest previous record was in April of last year when $5785 was the aggregate. The Yorba reservoir is doing good service, supplying the entire southern district. The pumping plant at Crowther's corner lifts California farmers, who have long insisted on a strictly non-partisan administration of the state department of agriculture, free of politics and devoted solely to promoting the welfare of the farming industry, have apparently made tremendous headway in achieving their objective. In the present changing scene at Sacramento, for example, there is every indication that Governor Merriam will recognize the need of an efficient, business-like administration of the department and that Director A. N. Brock will be continued on the job. Agriculture's right to self-government in its own department, first recognized by the late Governor Rolph in February, 1933, when Director Brock was placed in charge on the joint recommendation of California farm organizations and the state board of agriculture, is of even more vital importance during the period just ahead, in view of the complex problems of farm recovery. And there are increasing signs that the department will be left undisturbed, regardless of present changes due to the advent of the Merriam administration, and regardless of the outcome of the forthcoming elections. Perhaps the greatest aid in establishing the new viewpoint of a politically-free agricultural department was the unhappy experience of the Rolph administration during its first years in office. With a politically-minded director in the department, surrounded by Secretary Krick of the Water company reports irrigating water more abundant than ever before, and states that probably the usual half-hour summer run will not be resorted to.

The largest previous record was in April of last year when $5785 was the aggregate. The Yorba reservoir is doing good service, supplying the entire southern district. The pumping plant at Crowther's corner lifts over 400 inches twice the amount of any Orange county plant and it is believed the largest in Southern California. Four bids were opened by high school trustees on Saturday for altering and enlarging the assemblyroom at the high school. Contract was awarded O. Lagman at $4700. The seating capacity which has been 75 will be increased to 300 for an assembly room and 500 for an auditorium. Work begins immediately. Irving Quarton saw his name in the paper, and by way of reciprocity brought in a fine mess of clams which he dug while at the Landing on Sunday. Irving doesn't know how near we came to missing our Monday dinner if it hadn't been for those clams, which were way-up. Irving is on our side and so are the clams. F. A. Yungbluth, Gus, Hugo, and Otto Strodthoff enjoyed an auto ride to Los Angeles and Venice on Sunday. The three former gentlemen returned in the evening bringing Mrs. Strodthoff and Mrs. Yungbluth and the baby, who had been visiting for a couple of days in Los Angeles with relatives. Murray and Mack produced "A Night on Broadway" to a fair-sized audience at the operahouse on Monday evening. The performance was the best that has appeared at this place of amusement for years. As an Irish comedian Mack stands at the head of the line. The show was enjoyable throughout. There was not a dull line in the program and the audience was well repaid for their attendance. Mrs. Julius Schneider and Mrs. George Deitrich entertained at a 500 party on Wednesday afternoon at the home of the former on Palm street. The card tables, seven in number were arranged in the living room which was artistically decorated in shasta daisies and ferns. After the game refreshments were served, the first course consisting of chicken salad, wafers and punch, the second of ice-cream, strawberries, cake and coffee. The first prize at cards, a china jar was awarded Miss Marie Rimpau, and the second a preserve spoon was won by Miss Sophie Rimpau. Former State Senator Jones was in town from Huntington Beach on Monday, hale and hearty as ever. He is installing a pumping plant on his Garden Grove ranch and confidently expects a large flow of water. B. Mouliot was in town on Tuesday from his ranch in the west county. Mr. Mouliot has rented his extensive holdings and will take up his residence in Los Angeles where he proposes to take life easy. Perhaps the greatest aid in establishing the new viewpoint of a politically-free agricultural department was the unhappy experience of the Rolph administration during its first years in office. With a politically-minded director in the department, surrounded by political deputies, the department was embroiled in almost constant difficulties, both with the farming industry and with the federal government. Threatened loss of all federal aid in cooperativa federal-state work was an important factor in ending the short-lived political regime. When Director Brock was put on the job, it was an industry appointment, rather than a political appointment, and he has consistently and successfully resisted all efforts to play politics with the department. Although the experience with Brock's predecessor in office was undoubtedly a dominant factor in achieving political independence for the department, still another important factor in evidencing the wisdom of conducting the department on a non-partisan basis has been the great increase in efficiency and economy achieved under a business-like set-up. Recognizing the need for greater economy in state affairs, especially in light of the demand of California farmers for rigid retrenchment and tax-reduction, Director Brock, in submitting his budget recommendations during the last Legislature, voluntarily cut the department's budget more than a billion dollars. And he accomplished his savings without seriously impairing worthwhile services. Undoubtedly there will be repeated attempts in the future to make a political football of the agricultural department, but there is also promise that the great majority of the responsible leaders in state affairs will support agriculture's demand for self-government and freedom from political interference. A political department, it has already been demonstrated, is a political liability, rather than an asset. And an efficient department manned by men of ability and integrity, will be of immeasurable aid to the whole farming industry in achieving recovery and security. California farm organization, in insisting that Director Brock be kept at the helm, are not championing Brock as an individual. They are, on the other Former State Senator Jones was in town from Huntington Beach on Monday, hale and hearty as ever.

Mr. Mouliot has rented his extensive holdings and will take up his residence in Los Angeles where he proposes to take life easy. Walter Parrett was taken suddenly ill on Sunday with threatened appendicitis and his wife was summoned home from the beach. Yesterday an improvement was noted in his condition and he will probably soon be all right again. Jim Wilkie was on Monday admitted to citizenship in the superior court in Santa Ana. Jim answered all questions properly and was complimented by the court as being one of the best informed candidates for citizenship who ever appeared before him. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Konig on Saturday celebrated their fortyeth wedding anniversary. The happy couple were married in Los Angeles in 1869 and have ever since been residents of this city enjoying the esteem and high regard of all who know them. At the Methodist church on Sunday morning, July 4th, Rev. J. L. Moore will deliver a patriotic address on "The Land We Love." All are cordially invited to attend. Special music suited to the occasion. The financial statement of the First National Bank, published in another column this morning, shows total deposits of $426,-376.50 and total resources $562,802.98. This is the highest mark yet attained by the bank. Anaheim lager now being put on the market by the Union Brewing company is the best brewed in the West. It is light, pure and wholesome, and a glass of it relieves one of the grouch instantly. Try it and be convinced. Secretary Helmsen of the Masonic Lodge has sent out invitations to a special meeting of the lodge on Friday evening when two candidates will be initiated into the mysteries of the first degree. City Clerk Merritt has blossomed out in a new pair of light corduroy trousers. Putting on style. Awards Given To Fremont Students Paul Zimmerman Lauded for Seven-Year Perfect Attendance Record Paul Zimmerman, with a seven-year perfect attendance record, headed a group of 250 children with a perfect one-year attendance record, who received awards at Fremont school last week. Friday morning services were devoted to making awards to Fremont school students, at which time Paul was lauded for his seven years' of perfect attendance. Superintendent Melbourne A.
