IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Cent Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Or 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 12, 1884 The telegraph reports the nomination of Grover Cleveland of New York for the presidency by the Chicago Democratic convention on the second ballot. This was accomplished in spite of the bitter fight made against him by Tammany and insures New York state to Blaine. A weaker nomination could not have been made, and the Democracy has added another to their long list of mistakes. Cleveland will be more bitterly antagonized by the Democratic press than Blaine is by a few Republican papers. He is notoriously a favorite of the corrupt and influential corporations of New York, and as a consequence the large labor element of that city is solidly against him. He is confessedly the weakest of all the aspirants and while our private opinion is that no nominee of the Democracy could win, there is not the least shadow of a doubt that Cleveland will be snowed under as badly as was that other Democratic mistake, Greeley. The reported change in the running of the trains on the Anaheim branch was unfounded. There is but one train per day, and there is no immediate prospect of a change. Would it not be well for those papers which publish the railroad time table to change the figures therein in accordance with the facts? One result of the false information given in the printed schedules was the disappointment of a number of Los Angeles firemen who intended to be present at the ball given in Anaheim on the Fourth. They were left. The ranks of Anaheim’s bachelor batallion were broken on Wednesday last by the desertion to the camp of Benedicts of a prominent officer of the corps, and the T. F. E.

The ranks of Anaheim’s bachelor batallion were broken on Wednesday last by the desertion to the camp of Benedicts of a prominent officer of the corps, and the T. F. E. Coterie lost one of its brightest ornaments by the marriage of Miss Kitty Snedeker to Chas. O. Rust. The ceremonies were conducted by Rev. Mr. Field of Los Angeles assisted by Rev. J. A. Emery at the residence of the bride’s parents in Westminster and were followed by a wedding breakfast and the departure of the bridal couple for a tour in the northern part of the state with the congratulations of a large circle of friends. There were some mournful circumstances attendant upon the wedding of John Hartung and Miss Marie Chevallier at the residence of the bride’s parents in Los Angeles on July 10. The bride’s father had been very ill and on Wednesday it was feared he had but a few hours to live. He desired to see his daughter married before his dissolution and his wish was telegraphed to Mr. Hartung who, accompanied by Mr. Cahen, immediately drove to Los Angeles. The marriage took place on Thursday morning at Mr. Chevallier’s bedside. Since the marriage his condition has been somewhat favorable and his recovery is possible. Many friends of the young couple join with us in hoping that they will enjoy a long and happy life and that the father will be spared to participate in the happiness of his children. At a meeting of the Board of School trustees on Saturday the following teachers were engaged: C. W. Moores, Mrs. C. W Moores, S. S. Wood, Mr. Clark. The latter gentleman is from Pomona. The trustees desire us to say that they have adopted a rule whereby the engagements of teachers are for the term of six months only, instead of a year as heretofore. While crossing New River, at the Ranchito crossing, on Sunday, the Messrs. Schmidt and Whiting had a narrow escape from an involuntary bath. The water was so deep that it flowed over the buggy bed and swept away Mr. Schmidt’s satchel. A Mexican attempted the rescue of the floating satchel, but his horse got into quicksand and it required long exertion on the part of four men to get him out. The satchel continued on its way to the ocean, and doubtless ere this the mermaids, with the curiosity characteristic of the sex, have pryed into its mysteries and learned the uses of its contents. Mrs. Ivan Soboleff, of San Francisco, who is here on a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. Luedke, had the misfortune to lose her infant child on Tuesday. The funeral took place on Thursday. The infant child of Domingo Bastanchury died on July 7th. Both babies died of inflammation of the bowels, a complaint from which several other children are suffering.

Both babies died of inflammation of the bowels, a complaint from which several other children are suffering. On Friday of last week the pretty little daughter of H. Cahen fell to the ground while running about in play and broke her arm. The child is getting along nicely, and the broken bone will doubtless mend with the comparative ease characteristic of childhood. The visit of Adolph Rimpau to San Francisco has resulted in the Dry Goods Palace being overwhelmed with a stock of articles useful and ornamental, and in their new advertisement the Rimpau Bros. enumerate some of them. Read it. A performance will be given at Kroeger's hall tonight by the Leavitt Comedy Troupe which is said to be one of talent and to number among its members many genuine artists. The manager assures the public that the entertainment will be one that can be enjoyed by the most refined people. The warm weather of last week has put the army of campers in motion. John Hanna and family left on Tuesday for a two months sojourn at the beach. Many others are preparing to leave next week. We learn that the boarding facilities at Anaheim Landing are much improved. Capt. Wilson reports a number of arrivals and everything in readiness for more. T. J. F. Boege has returned from a trip through Arizona. He visited the famous Silver King mine at Pinal and was shown through the entire underground system of works and his report of the countless millions of wealth in silver ore visible to the eye seems almost a fabulous tale. Los Angeles county, it is said, will present the names of E. F. Spence, W. A. Cheney and H. H. Markham for nomination before the Republican congressional convention. Dr. J. G. Bailey, of Santa Ana, one of the most prominent physician of the county was in town on Monday on professional business. OF LONG AGO In a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only is of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 15, 1909 The total of Orange county's assessment this year shows a gain of $1,946,295 over that of last year. The total of last year was $17,562,280, while that of this year is $19,509,575. This does not include the railroad assessment, which is made by the state board of equalization and which amounted to $2,642,435 last year. The greatest gain in assessments was made in acreage property and in trees. A gain of $783.66 was made in the collection of personal property taxes and of $2,000 in poll taxes. It is said that the assessor hired an extra deputy for this work and paid the salary out of his own pocket. Orange County Elks will be a feature in the big parade in Los Angeles today. One hundred members of the order will be in line attired in glittering raiment emblematic of the order and attended by the Santa Ana band of 25 pieces. They are out for a prize and at latest accounts were up and after it. The lodge maintained headquarters at the hotel Westminster, where hospitality was dispensed with a lavish hand. Among the local Elks in line who have attended the festivities of the week were R. Melrose, J. O. Royer, Henry Adams, F. C. Spencer, W. P. Quarton, Wm. Schwenckert, Jake Schumacher, E. B. Merritt, Mr. Amstutz and others. Emil Boege suffered a fracture of the arm at Santa Ana on Thursday evening as he was cranking the automobile belonging to his brother, Dr. Boege. With a party of friends he attended a meeting of the Odd Fellow lodge, upon adjournment of which the accident occurred. He came home and called Dr. Beebe, who reduced the fracture and he is getting along quite well. The report that the accident was the result of an encounter with the goat is without foundation. Lettuce Markets Afford 1st Test Of Prorate Act Speedy Work In Middle of Season Saves Growers In Imperial Valley (Editorial Note: This is the third of a series of four articles dealing with the background, operation and possibilities of the agricultural prorate act, a 1933 statute describing a novel procedure to obtain compulsory controlled marketing of agricultural products. The last article will appear in this publication at an early date.) By EDSON ABEL Secretary, Agricultural Prorate Commission The first petition under the agricultural prorate act for the institution of a program of prorated marketing was received by the agricultural prorate commission from a number of lettuce growers in the Imperial valley on January 9, 1934. The marketing season was in full swing and prices were very low. Growers were losing from 25¢ to 30¢ on every crate of lettuce put aboard the cars. The future was even less cheerful as the peak of the movement was still to come. Speedy assistance was requested. The commission set the hearing of the petition for January 22 and on that and the succeeding day President McFadden heard the case presented by the petitioners. Two-thirds of the growers and two-thirds of the acreage favored the institution of a proration program. It was shown that the market could not and would not absorb all of the lettuce which would be available during the remainder of the season at prices which would permit the growers Emil Boege suffered a fracture of the arm at Santa Ana on Thursday evening as he was cranking the automobile belonging to his brother, Dr. Boege. With a party of friends he attended a meeting of the Odd Fellow lodge, upon adjournment of which the accident occurred. He came home and called Dr. Beebe, who reduced the fracture and he is getting along quite well. The report that the accident was the result of an encounter with the goat is without foundation. The new cents bearing the protrait of Lincoln will be sought for as curiosities. American coins bearing the protrait of some real person will be as agreeable as novel and the experiment should be limited on silver coins. Newly elected officers of the Rebekahs and Odd Fellows were installed jointly on Tuesday evening. The hall was crowded with members of the two organizations, and many visitors were present from Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton and other outlying towns. The installing officers were District Deputy George Riley and a corps of able assistants. The following officers were inducted into office: Mrs. Schumacher, P. G.; Hanna Horwitz, N. G.; Vera Gade, V. G.; Kate Quarton, recording secretary; Ardis Johnson financial secretary; Georgia Gade, treasurer, Cornelia Gates, chaplain; Ida Tipton, R. S. N. G.; Mable Gade, L. S. N. G.; Olga Zeus, R. S. V.

G.; J. P. Gilson, R. S. V. G.; E. R. Barnes, L. S. V. G. After the installation those present sat down to a banquet which was enjoyed until a late hour. Mrs. W. J. Cole charmingly entertained the Ladies Euchre club at her home, Hardscrabble farm, on Thursday afternoon. Delicious refreshments of ice-cream and cake were served at the conclusion of the game. The first prize, a cut glass nappy was won by Mrs. Wallop. The second a cut glass sauce dish by Mrs. Melrose, and the consolation, a dainty recepticle for violets, by Mrs. Adolph Rimpau. The next meeting will be held in October at the home of Mrs. John Hartung. Business at the Southern Pacific depot in this city for the month of June was more than double that for the same month during 1908. Agent Pickering states that the passenger business also was $2000 more than it was in the same month last year and that 400,000 pounds more freight was handled. The business transacted at the depot for the last month was heavier than it has been before at any time during the past five years. The commission set the hearing of the petition for January 22 and on that and the succeeding day President McFadden heard the case presented by the petitioners. Two-thirds of the growers and two-thirds of the acreage favored the institution of a proration program. It was shown that the market could not and would not absorb all of the lettuce which would be available during the remainder of the season at prices which would permit the growers to break even. It was obvious that without some marketing control, the lettuce industry of the Imperial valley was headed straight for disaster. No showing in opposition was made although some objections were voiced at the hearing. President McFadden submitted his findings to the prate commission by wire. On January 23, the commission approved those findings and instituted a program of marketing control. It also appointed as a program committee the seven outstanding growers and shippers selected at a mass meeting of the growers They were: Fred Bright, Walter Farley, Willis Urick, A. T.Arena, Walter Whitacre, George Swink and Jerry Asher, all well known in the lettuce industry This committee met at once and formulated a program which was approved by the commission.A zone agent was appointed as well as other personnel to handle the administrative work.A detailed survey of the valley lettuce acreage was made by inspectors and the program of control actually got under way on the following Saturday. The approved program authorized complete shutdowns of one,two, or three days during any one proration period.The program committee decided that it would be advisable to start off with a shutdown of three days to permit the tracks at the eastern markets to clear.The order was made with the first day of the shutdown to be January 27. A problem of enforcement immediately arose.J.H.Grunde,a shipper announced that he would ship despite the shut-down order.The program committee went into action upon the authority of the commission and before the morning of Saturday,the 27th,the superior court of Imperial county had issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting Grande from shipping in violation of the program and ordering him to show cause at a later date why the temporary order should not be made permanent pending trial of the case. In the meantime,Grunde had proceeded to Los Angeles and filed an Business at the Southern Pacific depot in this city for the month of June was more than double that for the same month during 1908. Agent Pickering states that the passenger business also was $2000 more than it was in the same month last year and that 400,000 pounds more freight was handled. The business transacted at the depot for the last month was heavier than it has been before at any time during the past five years. A contract has been let for sinking an oil well on the Dierkson property, three miles east of town. Ten inch casing will be used. It is believed oil will be found at a depth of less than 1000 feet. Oil sand was found in a water well in that district several months ago. Los Angeles capitalists will put down the well. If oil is found it will mean the opening up of a new field in Orange county. Hans Weisel, J. Klein, Oscar Heying and Fred Weisel of this city and Earnest Phillips of Milwaukee attended the auto races at Santa Monica on Saturday. They drove up on Friday evening and secured an advantageous position in which to see the speeders. They camped out all night and were among the first to select their position. Thousands of autoists viewed the races which were thrilling in every respect. C. R. Staples is installing a 40 horse-power pumping plant on this place southeast of town and Clem Sheffield is also installing a 25 horse power pumping plant on his place on Santa Ana street. Bill Hill commenced threshing operations on Monday at the Stanton ranch west of town and on Tuesday went to the Bastanchury ranch where he will have a run of several weeks. He finds shegrain turning out well and looks for an excellent harvest. Joseph A. Blair of Sacramento, formerly a resident of this city, was in town on Tuesday renewing old acquaintances. Joe is in the real estate business in the state capital and is prospering. It is seventeen years since he resided here and he sees many changes. He is down with the Elks. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Schwenchert celebrated the sixteenth anniversary of their marriage and the following day the former celebrated his forty-third birthday. The Huntington Beach Chautauqua assembly will be held this year from Tuesday, July 20 to Saturday, July 24, inclusive.

Members of the California highway patrol have been instructed by Chief E. Raymond Cato to be alert for violations of this character. "While overloading the vehicle seems innocent enough to the vacationist," says Chief Cato, "it is one of the hazards on the highways that causes concern to the patrol. "Protruding objects strike passing cars and lives of the vacationists and other users of the highway are endangered. Tires placed in front of the raditor frequently give the impression the car is retreating instead of oncoming. Then again cars are loaded down so heavily they do not perform properly and congest the highways and impede their own progress with their mechanical troubles." $400,000 More Taxes From State Audit Cost of $15,000 Brings In Nearly Half Million Returns, Says Report Additional state taxes in excess of $400,000 will be collected from California public utilities this year as a result of an audit of their gross revenues, it is announced by the state board of equalization. GAS REFRIGERATOR SALES IN COUNTY BEST IN AMERICA Fred Merker and Loren Moore Get Letters Lauding Mark Set During May Announcement was made this week by officials of the American Gas association to the effect that the Orange county district of Southern Counties Gas company has won nation-wide recognition for its unusual sale of Electrolux gas refrigerators during the month of May. Lowell, Massachusetts; Harrleburg, Pennsylvania and Wheeling, West Virginia were among the metropolitan centers which were outranked by Orange county, California, in the national gas refrigerator contest which is now under full swing. A letter of congratulation to Fred Merker, district manager, and Loren Moore, district commercial agent in the Orange county territory has been mailed by R. A. Malony, chairman of the gas refrigeration committee of the American Gas association. MINIMUM WAGES IN OIL INDUSTRY Will Occupy Conclaves Series of Hearings Will Start July 5 In Los Angeles; Urges Appointments Announcement is made by A. L. Well, regional labor co-ordinator, that the regional labor sub-committee of the Cost of $15,000 Brings In Nearly Half Million Returns, Says Report Additional state taxes in excess of $400,000 will be collected from California public utilities this year as a result of an audit of their gross revenues, it is announced by the state board of equalization. The utilities make yearly reports to the board showing their gross receipts, upon which the state tax is levied. "In pursuance of the board's policy of absolute equality in tax administration," the announcement said, "an audit of each utility has been made to determine whether any taxable revenues have been omitted from the returns filed by the companies." "This auditing work, which will produce almost a half million dollars in state revenues was completed at an expense of less than $15,000." "An excellent example is afforded of a situation where sorely needed revenue has been raised, not by placing an additional load on already overburdened taxpayers, but by requiring the utilities to assume their full share of the burden." growing end not only accepted the control without objection but also gave it their approbation. It is undoubtedly true that the manner in which the program functioned under extremely unfavorable conditions was due in a large part to the conscientious work of the program committee. All of them were men with their own interests to attend to and they received no salary for their work as committee members. They devoted an enormous amount of time to the work and performed a real public service. Most of the people in the Imperial valley agree that the institution of the program saved the lettuce growers hundreds of thousands of dollars and that without it the losses would have been staggering. Taking into consideration the late start with the control efforts and the extremely unfavorable combination of circumstances which seriously hampered marketing, the experience was a source of considerable gratification. The growers came out about even on a deal in which the consensus of opinion is they would have lost tremendously except for the intervention of controlled marketing. Oil Industry Will Occupy Conclaves Series of Hearings Will Start July 5 In Los Angeles; Urges Appointments Announcement is made by A. L. Well, regional labor co-ordinator, that the regional labor sub-committee of the sixth region will hold a series of hearings on the question of minimum wage differentials for various classes of jobs in all branches of the oil industry, classifications of jobs and regulations governing relations of employers and employees. All employer's associations, labor unions, company unions, associations of employees, and individual employees in the industry, who may desire to be heard, are to be afforded an opportunity to present their respective cases. It is urged that presentation be confined to matters of fact and that written memoranda embodying such facts be left with the committee at conclusion of the presentations. Hearings are to begin on Thursday, July 5, 1934, and are to be held in Room 1015, Higgins building, Second and Main streets, Los Angeles, California. The committee is to convene daily at 1:30 p.m. and will hold evening sessions when necessary. Those desiring to be heard should communicate with the co-ordinator at once. 2-Headed Trout To Have Competition The six year old Loch Leven two headed fish that has attracted the attention of thousands of visitors at the Mt. Shasta hatchery, operated by the state Fish and Game Commission is not going to be alone in his fame. Elvin Anderson, in charge of Hatchery A where the two-headed trout is housed, gathered during the hatching season over 120 two-headed trout fry. At the present time there are 45 survivors, and some of them are nearly six months of age, and it is expected a dozen will continue with two mouths to feed. A three-headed trout lived for 70 days this year. According to records there has been only three nistances recorded where a two-headed trout lived for more than a few weeks, and the Mt. Shasta freak is one of them. Hudson Terraplanes New Models Now On Display In the air it’s Aeroplaning! On the water it’s Aquaplaning! On the land it’s Terraplaning! Barnhart’s Garage 336 S.
