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 C 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 8, 1884 The Anaheim public schools closed on Friday of last week after a ten months term. During the last three days there were examinations in the various departments in which the pupils generally did well. During the last day there were closing exercises of a literary character. Altogether the year just closed has been one of the most successful in the history of the school. The average daily attendance was 160, which is ten more than that of any previous year. We herewith append a summary of attendance etc., for the year ending June 27: Number of days taught, 194; whole number of days attendance 30.222; Number of days absence, 1.848; number of tardiness 607; number of boys enrolled 134; number of girls enrolled 112; average daily attendance 160. The salaries of postmasters are readjusted on the first day of July of each year. In the adjustment this year Anaheim is reduced from a third class to a fourth class office. The other offices in this state which have been reduced in class or in salary are Bakersfield, Bodi, Colusa, Bilroy, Hanford, Hollister, Livermore, Marysville, Placerville, Sacramento, San Buenaventura, San Diego, San Rafael, Tulare, Visalia, and Willows. The salaries are readjusted on the basis of the receipts of the various offices for the preceding year. Assuming that the business during the balance of the year equals that of the last quarter, the next readjustment will place Anaheim far up in the list of third-class offices. As a matter of fact the salary of the postmaster will be about as much as when the office was a third class one. It's his dignity and not his pocket-book that is hurt. A man in a state of nudity was found in an Anaheim vineyard one morning this week. He was taken before Judge Gannon by Marshal Bohn and committed to the county jail, with a request to the prosecuting attorney to inquire into his mental condition.

He was taken before Judge Gannon by Marshal Bohn and committed to the county jail, with a request to the prosecuting attorney to inquire into his mental condition. The Adamite gave his name as Hugh Call and said he had been herding sheep on the San Joaquin. We have heard it said that sheep herding was promotive of insanity. Perhaps this is a veritable case. From a gentleman lately arrived from the east by the southern route we learn that hundreds of cars with freight are side-tracked through Arizona and New Mexico. A car load of furniture shipped from Grand Rapids, Michigan, eight weeks ago to an Anaheim dealer has failed to arrive up to this time and is doubtless standing on a side track in the wilds of Arizona, waiting for the waters to subside. Thefts of small articles, such as rakes, wash tubs, rocking-chairs and the like, commonly left without thought of thieves who break through and steal, have been reported by several residents of Anaheim and by parties living near Orange. All traces of the sneak thieves have in every instance been effectually covered up. The following officers have been elected by Magnolia Council No. 94, O. C. F., at regular meeting, June 28, and will be duly installed Saturday evening, July 12: Wm. McFadden, P. C. C.; S. W. Bryden, C. C.; E. A. White, V. C.; A. W. Steinhart, secretary (3rd term); Theo. Rimpau, treasurer (3rd term); Mrs. S. J. McFadden, prelate; Mrs. J. E. Leonard, marshal; S. S. Wood, Warden; G. Davis, guard; A. Rimpau, secretary; Wm. M. Higgins, H. Kroeger, D. W. C. Cowan, trustees; Mrs. Alice Higgins, M. D. medical examiner. The Glorious Fourth was celebrated in Anaheim by a general fusilade of crackers, bombs and anvils beginning at twelve o'clock, midnight which was continued without cessation until sunrise when the streets were calmed into unusual quietude. Citizens generally left town in picnic parties to the canyons, the beach and other pleasant places, causing the day in town to be one of Sunday-like stillness. The firemen's ball in the evening was the only public demonstration and passed off satisfactorily to all present. Young men whose ambition for beauty runs in the direction of waxed mustaches, are warned of the deleterious effect of beeswax for that purpose. A young Anaheimer, whose pride was in his incipient mustache, lately attempted an improvement in that ornament by the use of beeswax. He now mourns the entire loss of that appendage and offers his experience as a warning to others. Another terrible (?) earthquake visited Southern California on Wednesday. It was discovered in San Bernardino. The Los Angeles company could deliver a full hour not resort to the Yorba reservoir or sees an issue of its pocket-book that is hurt.

It was discovered in San Bernardino. The Los Angeles Herald published it on Thursday or the people would have forever remained in ignorance of the horrible convulsion of nature of which Eastern people are so scared. The very noticeable diminution in the number of curs that have formerly infested the streets, making night hideous, is owing to the energy of the town marshal, who has had his nightly intellect focused on the subject of dog catching, with excellent results. The thermometer reached 102 degrees in the shade on Monday last. Thermometers were not long enough to reach the heat in the sun. Yet out door work was not interrupted. Sunstroke is unknown. This will seem strange to Eastern people. The ladies of St. Michael's church at the request of many who were unable to attend the sociable lately given, have made arrangements for another entertainment to be held at the residence of Mrs. Sheffield on Monday evening next, to which a general invitation is extended. Rev. V. Foran, of Anaheim assisted in the ceremonies of celebrating St. John's day at the old Mission church in San Juan Capistrano. Large quantities of new hay have been brought into town during the past week, selling from seven to nine dollars per ton, according to quality. The U.S. patent for the Rancho de Santa Ana, issued to the heirs of Antonio Yorba and Juan Pablo Peralta was filed for record in the recorder's office Monday. Under the supervision of Engineer Kellogg, with a large force of laborers, the work of repairing the ditches of the Anaheim Union Water company is rapidly progressing. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only ans of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 8, 1909 Once in every so many years the Glorious Fourth of July falls on the Fifth—because the Fourth comes on Sunday, and this was the case this year. Monday the town was for the most part deserted. There were three days of the Fourth this year. The date falling on Sunday, festivities were held at Fullerton on Saturday and a celebration at Huntington Beach, East Newport and Bay City on Monday. Sunday was filled in by dinners reunions and fireworks display. One of the largest Fourth of July celebrations ever held in Orange County took place on Monday at Huntington Beach. The occasion also marked the opening of the Pacific Electric Railroad between Huntington Beach and Santa Ana. More than 5000 tickets were sold in the latter city. Double trains were operated all day between the two cities and an extra police force was needed to handle the crowds at the Beach city. Patriotic exercises were held at the pavilion, Judge Bledsoe, of San Bernardino and H. S. Hadsell delivering addresses. Athletic sports were the order of the afternoon. Mr. Crowther was in from his ranch on Tuesday and stated that the water company's pumping plant at his corner, which lifts 420 inches daily had to be shut down seven days out of ten because the company could find no purchasers for the water. The company will deliver a full head to all irrigators the present summer and will not resort to the expedient of invoking the half limit. With the Yorba reservoir added to the company's facilities, Mr. Crowther sees an issue of about 200 shares directly ahead. During the past five days twelve carloads of potatoes were shipped from this city to Los Angeles. The local growers are receiving $1.00 per sack net f.o.b. which means that the output this week has brought to the growers about $3600. Orange county growers expected to get at least $2.00 per sack on the season's output, but as Texas is supplying Arizona and other large eastern the company could find no purchasers for the water.

Orange county growers expected to get at least $2.00 per sack on the season's output, but as Texas is supplying Arizona and other large eastern districts, very few California potatoes are going east of the California line. It is admitted that there is a fair profit at $1.00 per sack net. Erwin Barr came in the first of the week from Elsinore for a brief stay. Elsinore was visited last week by the most destructive fire in its history. Eight storerooms being destroyed and property losses sustained to the value of $30,000. The fire approached to within 100 feet of Capt. Barr's recently purchased building and sparks at one time set fire to its roof. The flames were extinguished without serious loss to the structure. Gus Schade is in from Arizona for a vacation from arduous mining operations, and will spend the heated spell promenading the beaches and having a good time. Gus is located at Kelven where he owns one of the largest gold and copper deposits in the territory. A marble sill was laid by Contractor Schindler in the doorway leading into the new water office on Center street. The building is about ready for occupancy and will probably be accepted this week or next. The structure is substantially built and is a credit to the city and water company alike. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth entertained the Four-Four club on Thursday evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Hatzfeld who left this week for a visit to relatives in Kentucky. Progressive whist was a feature of the evening. The game was followed by a bountiful supply of refreshments. The ladies prize, a handsome seal-skin handbag, was won by Mrs. Henry Adams. The gentleman's prize, a handsomely bound book on toasts, was won by Bird Beebe. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Crone entertained a large number of their friends at 500 on Thursday and Friday evenings. On Thursday evening the prizes were won by Mrs. Fred Backs jr. and Henry Adams. On Friday evening the lucky winners were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis. Mrs. Paschall left on Tuesday for Seattle where she will join her daughter, who is singing with an Eastern opera company now appearing in the exposition town. Mrs. Paschell will be absent several weeks and will accompany her daughter on a tour by the company of the sound country. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hill entertained a large number of friends at their hospitable home in the West country on Sunday. A fine dinner was a feature of the day's festivities. Forty-four were at the table. In the evening a display of fireworks was the feature. The institution of a marketing program under the act requires the presentation of a petition signed by producers. The first step is to determine the district or districts which must be included in a program. All producing areas which compete for the patronage of the same market should be included under one program. It would be of no benefit to a group in one area to curtail their shipments if their competitors were under no restraint and could take advantage of any favorable opportunity created by the control efforts of the first group. This is a matter of prime importance and great care must be exercised in taking care of the competitive angle. The preparation of the petition is comparatively simple. The statute does not prescribe any particular form or content. The area or areas in which the program is to be effective is called a proration zone and must be described in the petition. A map of it must also be included. A concise general statement of the facts requiring the institution of a marketing control program must appear. Petitions may have any number of counterparts, thus facilitating circulation and signing. The act provides that if two-thirds of the producers and two-thirds of the production in a proposed proration zone sign a petition, an election need not be held and the agricultural prate commission may make its findings with respect to the petition immediately after a hearing on it. If the two-thirds provision is not availed of 50 producers may sign a petition and require an election if the other necessary facts are shown to exist. The two-thirds sign-up is preferable and should be reserved to wherever possible. When a completed petition is filed with the agricultural prate commission, it must be accompanied by a bond or undertaking which guarantees the cost of holding the hearing. This provision is to protect the commission from frivolous applications without merit and is necessary as the commission must hold upon any petition filed with it which is sufficient on its face. On each legally sufficient petition, the commission holds a hearing not less than ten days from the date of filing. This hearing is advertised in a newspaper and by posting notices in the proposed zone. At the hearing to obtain favorable action on a petition, the petitioners, generally speaking, must show that the industry with which they are concerned is suffering from a marketing surplus, that producers are receiving less than their costs of production and that they are wasting their resources in delivering to market goods Mrs. Paschall left on Tuesday for Seattle where she will join her daughter, who is singing with an Eastern opera company now appearing in the exposition town. Mrs. Paschell will be absent several weeks and will accompany her daughter on a tour by the company of the sound country. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hill entertained a large number of friends at their hospitable home in the West country on Sunday. A fine dinner was a feature of the day's festivities. Forty-four were at the table. In the evening a display of fireworks was the feature. During the day the guests visited the extensive dairy and stock farm. An impromptu free-for-all foot-race was run, 100 yards, and was won by Miss Blanch Hill, daughter of the host, who distanced all comers. June ended with a new record in this county for marriage licenses. During the month County Clerk Williams and Deputy Burke issued ninety-five of those documents that prelude a wedding, which was ten more than were ever before issued in any one month in this county, June, 1908 held the previous record of eighty-five. Kenneth Nagle had a narrow escape from serious injury one day last week when his saddle turned throwing him from the horse and frightening the animal so that it ran away. Kenneth was on his way to deliver a lamp chimney to one of his father's customers, and mindful that it had to be handled with care, held it out of harms way as he fell to the ground. The horse ran back to its stall, Mr. Nagle started at once in search of his son, bestriding the animal bareback. He found Kenneth delivering the lamp chimney and unhurt. Kenneth put in the rest of the afternoon selling peanuts, five a bag. Ernest Heying the young son of Frederick Heying was severely burned in the eye by the premature discharge of a firecracker on the Fourth at the Landing. However no permanent injury is feared and Ernest will be all right again in a day or two. Mrs. Newton J. Tharp and small son, Lawrence, of San Francisco, who have been guests of her father, John Hanna at Miraflores are guests of Rev. and Mrs. Wrenn at Pasadena. The W. C. T. U. held a Mother's meeting at Mrs. Mary Kellogg's home south west of town on Wednesday. Rev. Yoeman gave a talk on "Boys." At the close of the afternoon the hostess served dainty refreshments. Summer Institute Planned Saturday, June 30, at UCLA Citrus Growers Invited to Big Meeting Where Experts to Discuss Agriculture Citrus growers of Orange county and Southern California will be given an opportunity on June 30 to learn of the work being done at the University of California at Los Angeles, where subtropical horticulture is being taught and some experimental research work on subtropicals is being conducted. According to Harold E. Wahlberg, the annual summer institute arranged each year by the citrus growers department of the Farm Bureau will be held on Saturday, June 30, beginning at 9:30 a.m., instead of June 29th as first announced. Features of the program will be "History of Work in Agriculture at the University," by A. J. McFadden of Santa Ana, and talks of Dr. L. D. Batchelor, director of agriculture in Southern California; and Professor R. W. Hodgson, assistant director. There will also be a discussion entitled "A Chemical Picture of the Orange Tree" by Dr. S. H. Cameron, who has been conducting research work on the orange tree and who is developing some very valuable information on the subject. In the afternoon there will be an opportunity for those in attendance to see the laboratory orchard and experimental plots on the new campus. Try adding an apple to your vegetable soup. It improves the flavor greatly. Control of Morning Glory Demonstrated In response to requests for authentic information on morning glory control in orchard and field, a demonstration meeting was held Thursday to show practical methods of combatting the weed problem. The demonstration was held at the place of L. A. Bortz, on the north end of Tustin avenue just east of Olive. Bert Johnston, weed specialist of the agricultural commissioner's office in charge of weed control in Orange county, explained the most effective treatments for the practical handling of the morning glory pest, which is considered one of the most stubborn weed pests in the orchard and field. Results of spray treatments was seen. Chemistry of Tree Is Institute Topic The chemical constituents of a citrus tree and how they are affected by soil and fertilizer treatments will be one of the interesting subjects of the annual citrus growers institute next Saturday at the University of California at Westwood, according to announcement from Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg's office representing the University in Orange county. Auto Paint Job To Fit Any Pocketbook Our 10th Season in Anaheim LOUIS HENNIG 200 S. Los Angeles St. For-a BETTER before he can harvest or prepare for market any part of his production. Generally, each producer receives one primary certificate covering the entire production and then is issued secondary certificates from time to time to cover specific shipments. These secondary certificates authorize the harvesting and/or preparation for market of a certain quantity of the crop and must accompany shipments to market. Thus adequate policing is possible and "chiseling" can be prevented. The expense of the program is raised by fees charged for each certificate. These fees are fixed in their amounts by the program committee. They should be calculated so as to produce merely enough to pay the expenses of the program and its enforcement. A percentage is allotted for the general expense of the commission so that it should eventually be entirely self-supporting. The penalties for violation of a program are purposely severe. It is a misdemeanor to harvest or ship contrary to the program and a violator may be sued for $500 for each violation and at the same time enjoined from further violations. Experience with this as well as with other control programs has already demonstrated the wisdom of these provisions. Once a program is instituted, it runs from year to year until it is terminated by action of the commission either upon its own motion or upon application of the growers.
