IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 19, 1884 The Republican county convention met in Los Angeles on Thursday to elect sixteen delegates to the state convention called to nominate presidential electors. The main interest in the convention centered in the candidates for congress in the sixth district. It appears that at the last state convention the delegates from the other counties in the district agreed to support the candidate from Los Angeles county. The county convention was, therefore, practically a congressional convention, inasmuch as the man of its choice would certainly be confirmed as the nominee of the party. The most prominent candidates were W. A. Cheney and H. H. Markham, and the respective adherants of these two gentlemen urged their claims with a vehemence approaching bitterness. Mr. Cheney's learning, brilliancy and good political record were conceded, but it was urged against him that he was poor. Mr. Markham's ability, party fealty, and claims were also conceded, and it was urged in addition that he has a bar'. The ballot to indicate the choice of the convention resulted in favor of Markham. The following were selected as delegates to the state convention: H. H. Boyce, W. H. Magee, W. A. Cheney, W. P. Moore, F. A. Gibson, Jas. McFadden, F. Holcomb, C. M. Thomas, M. Aguirre, J. W. Fayres, P. Dowing, Gen. Bouton, H. T. Payne, N. A. Young, W. Ferry, I. Packard. (These names were sent to us by telephone and we have a suspicion that some of them were so mangled in transit that their owners will not know them). Captain Wilson is evidently determined to preserve good order and decorum at Anaheim Landing. On Sunday two young men under the influence of a superabundance of stimulus attempted to kick up a general row by smashing windows, doors and furniture. During the endeavors of the captain to quell the disturbance, two pistol shots were fired at him without effect. On a warrant issued by Judge Bailey the assailants were arrested and placed under M. Aguirre, J. W. Fayres, P. Dowing, Gen. Bouton, H. T. Payne, N. A. Young, W. Ferry, I. Packard.

During the endeavors of the captain to quell the disturbance, two pistol shots were fired at him without effect. On a warrant issued by Judge Bailey the assailants were arrested and placed under bonds. The case will be investigated in court today. A number of citizens request the attention of the City Fathers to the condition of the sidewalks, which in certain localities are dangerous to pedestrians. If, through the neglect of property owners, an accident should occur, the town authorities will be held accountable for damages. The sidewalk between Kroeger's hall and Luedke's store on Center street and on Los Angeles street adjoining the Planters' hotel require immediate repairs to avoid what might result in serious injury. The Board of Supervisors of San Bernardino county at its last session ordered the county surveyor to survey the site for a bridge over the Santa Ana river, between Riverside and West Riverside. a site for a bridge over the Santa Ana river between Temescal and Rincon, also one for the Old San Bernardino crossing. There is but one bridge over the Santa Ana river in Los Angeles county—that being the railroad bridge between Anaheim and Orange. and it has been the only place of crossing for months. San Bernardino is teaching our supervisors a lesson. Whitehead, formerly of the Los Angeles Republican has a penchant for getting shot. He was shot during the war, shot in a fracas with Harris some months ago, and shot last week at Kansas City by a man named Cromwell, whose pistol was accidentally discharged while displaying it in a saloon. The last wound is, we hope, as trifling as the previous punctures. A stack containing about thirty tons of hay, belonging to William Harper, who lives near Garden Grove, was burned on Friday night, the work of an incendiary. An unsuccessful attempt was made a short time since to burn Mr. Harper’s dwelling house, phosphorus being used to start the fire which was luckily discovered in time to save the house. It is supposed the firing of the hay was by the same parties and with the same materials. William Fromheim, has sold his place near Anaheim to Lionel Browning. It consists of fifty acres of as fine land as can be found in Southern California, especially adapted to grapes. Forty acres of the tract is in bearing vines. The sale was consummated through the agency of Hanna & Keith, the purchase price being eleven thousand dollars. Following the damage by floods and the loss of the bridge at Yuma, comes the news of the destruction of the freight house with its contents and four cars of merchandise at that place by fire on Tuesday. Yuma is an unlucky point for the Southern Pacific railroad company. William Fromheim, has sold his place near Anaheim to Lionel Browning.

Yuma is an unlucky point for the Southern Pacific railroad company. A. McDermont of North Anaheim was exhibiting some very beautiful potatoes of the Early Rose variety in town the other day. They were unusually large and, contrary to the usual rule, the size was not developed at the expense of the flavor. The new school house at Placentia (North Anaheim) will be formally christened on Wednesday evening next by a social entertainment to consist mainly of dancing with the accompaniments usual upon such occasions. The participants will no doubt have cause to remember the affair with pleasure. The large store in the Odd Fellows hall building is nearly ready for occupancy by M. Dobner who leaves soon for the east to purchase a stock of goods, which he informs us will be the largest and most complete, onside of the city of Los Angeles, in Southern California. Several new families on the Azusa have been poisoned recently from eating vegetables bought from Chinese vegetable peddlers. It is supposed that the Chinese gardeners put paris green in their vegetables. The parties all recovered however. E. Pommer, an experienced hotel man recently of Denver, Colorado, having purchased the stock and lease of the Anaheim hotel, succeeds John Deitzel in the management of the house. At the Republican primary held on Saturday last L. F. Lewis, E. J. Pellegrin and Melrose were elected delegates to the county convention held in Los Angeles on Thursday. J. W. Landell and family in accordance with their usual summer custom, are occupying their cottage at Anaheim Landing. The Misses Langenberger and Miss Hortsman are camping at the Landing. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 22, 1909 Capt. Schindler and thirty men of Company E left on Tuesday morning for the regimental encampment at Bay City, which continues until the end of the month. The guard went in conveyances and the camp equipment and mess outfit were transported on trucks. The companies forming the encampment are A, C, and F and signal corps of Los Angeles, D of Pomona E of Anaheim, G of Redlands, H of Long Beach, L of Santa Ana, M of Riverside. Col. Schrieber is in command and about 900 men will be present. During encampment especial attention will be given to guard duty, extended order advance and rear guard duty, outposts and sanitation. Officers and men serve without pay. That T. B. Talbert will be appointed by Gov. Gillette as successor to G. W. Moore as supervisor of the second district has been conceded for some time, J. W. Morrison, chairman of the republican county central committee said on Monday that the governor had promised to appoint the man named by the executive committee of the central committee, and that the executive committee had recommended Talbert. Moore's resignation takes effect on August 4. Talbert belongs to the regulars of the party. A meeting of the republican county central committee will be held at the city hall Santa Ana on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. to consider the endorsement of a candidate to succeed Supervisor Moore of the second district who has tendered his resignation. Two aspirants are out for the place, Tom Talbert and Jacob Walton. Manager Jos. Backs of the Home Telephone company reports the largest distance business the past month. His company handled 1457 such messages which breaks the monthly record. Chaotic Markets Remedy Put Intro Producers' Hand Writer Claims Prorate Act Extremely Flexible, Does Always Restrict Production (Editorial Note: This is the first and last series of four articles dealing with the background, operation possibilities of the agricultural practice, a 1933 statute describing a procedure to obtain compulsory trailed marketing of agricultural ducts.) By EDSON ABEL Secretary, Agricultural Prorate Commission The interest shown by various groups has demonstrated that farmers are becoming familiar with the capabilities of the agricultural prorate. It also shows that there is a considerable field in which the act can service to California agriculture. Members as a class do not easily reel any of their traditional independence and their general willingness to along with other farmers in a process containing compulsory featuresences the seriousness of the agrical situation from a producer point. It probably indicates all further spread of the idea that much independence in our present complicated social structure may have drawbacks. The agricultural prorate community now has its fourth program under The applications of the act covering from Imperial county, Grastin apples from Sonoma and counties, lettuce from Santa Bar and San Luis Obispo counties and tatoes from Kern county. There A meeting of the republican county central committee will be held at the city hall Santa Ana on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. to consider the endorsement of a candidate to succeed Supervisor Moore of the second district who has tendered his resignation. Two aspirants are out for the place, Tom Talbert and Jacob Walton. Manager Jos. Backs of the Home Telephone company reports the largest distance business the past month. His company handled 1457 such messages which breaks the monthly record. Mr. Backs is enjoying a ten days leave of absence with pay. A dispatch received on Tuesday from Neill E. Bailey dated Savannah. Georgia, July 20, announces the birth of a baby girl to his wife that morning. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey reside at Nogales, Arizona, but Mrs. Bailey has been for some weeks past at her parent's home in Savannah. Mother and child doing well, and Neill is the happiest papa south of Mason and Dixon's line. Alex Vaughn is the busiest man at Olive. He has baled 700 tons of hay this season and has 300 tons ahead of him. Alex was in town on Friday and said he would be ready to bale all the hay which offers this season. Auctioner McKee worked hard to get up an enthusiasm on Saturday at Market Day, but conditions seemed to be against him. Little stock or produce was offered, and what was put up for sale found buyers few and far between. A mule was bid in by its owner at $8, no one in the crowd seeming disposed to add to his possessions by the quadruped. A horse, light rig and harness was worked up to $60, but the owner bid it in at $60. A number of private sales were made on the ground. The committee in change of Market Day desire that all kinds of stock, poultry and produce be brought in for the next sale, which occurs the third Saturday in August. Money will be on hand to purchase desirable articles, but there is little or no sale for undesirable nags. The Great Kamama, who has created a sensation throughout the south and east, and is rapidly acquiring a national reputation has arrived in Anaheim. Kamama has made a fortune in the past few years, estimated at a million dollars, by the sale of his Wonderful Nerve Tonic and Oil of Life which he claims accomplish remarkable results. He is said to be a remarkable character, and a man of eccentric ideas. He believes a certain amount of his income should be devoted to the poor in the cities he visits and he gives thousands of dollars to charity. One feature of his work is what he calls his three-minute deafness cure. He also claims to cure cripples almost instantly. People have flocked from all parts of the country to see him. Whether he will be as successful in Anaheim or not remains to be seen. The big concert and vaudeville show starts promptly at 8 o'clock. Kamama's offices are located above the First National bank. Office hours 10 to 12, 2 to 4, 7 to 8. Consultation $1.00. Fidel Ganahl was in town one day last week, having stopped off the Chicago limited on his way to Los Angeles from St. Louis. On the train were the belated herd of Elks bound for the Los Angeles meeting. Mr. Ganahl's family resides in St. Louis, but he gets homesick for California whenever he crosses the rockies and he spends his time between his Los Angeles and St. Louis homes. It probably indicates a further spread of the idea that much independence in our present complicated social structure may have drawbacks. The agricultural prorate community now has its fourth program under The applications of the act covertance from Imperial county, Grantstein apples from Sonoma and counties, lettuce from Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties and tatoos from Kern county. There is a number of other marketing situations in which the producers concerned give serious thought to this form compulsory marketing control. Doubtedly, the existence of the act the possibility of its use have disaged a number of the small groups which seem to afflict all cultural industries from carrying their "chiselling" practices with usual vigor. Practically every perishable agricultural crop produced in California is in a position benefit in one way or another from use of the act. Only those crops we meet marketing competition from side the state are clearly ineligible California's numerous specialty crops are practically without exception situated as to make this act available to them in case aid is needed. The statute contemplates and commission has effectuated major control by growers in this solution their marketing problems. The provides for the appointment of managing committee for each property by the commission has adopted a policy of appointing as members of those committees individuals selected by growers themselves. This policy been pursued in the case of all programs so far instituted and it worked very well. The commission has also adopted policy of minimum interference in the activities of local program committees. The problems are local in nature, generally have their own peculiar aspects and can be solved more easily factorily by those who are closely liaited to the industry. The state supports the program with its enforcement powers naturally in return for this ease demands some supervisory authority but growers can rest assured that activities of the state of this nature be kept to an absolute minimum. The dollars and cents aspect is important. Generally speaking, in order in which the application of the act appropriate, the cost of the program compared with the benefits obtained The big concert and vaudeville show starts promptly at 8 o'clock.

Mr. Ganahl's family resides in St. Louis, but he gets homesick for California whenever he crosses the rockies and he spends his time between his Los Angeles and St. Louis homes. Wm. Falkenstein, always on the lookout for something attractive for his many patrons, is giving away a handsome China painted calendar plate, which is an ornament for any home. It will be given away during the big Summer Clearance Sale just beginning and today's advertisement in this paper will tell you how to get it. Do not fail to read it. Mayor Rust and family and Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer who did the Seattle exposition and Yellowstone park are home again after an enjoyable outing. Judge Shanley enjoyed a three-days' passeur with Elks friends in Los Angeles the past week. The Judge met a number of eastern friends and made it interesting for them while their visit lasted. Mrs. C. T. Thomas of Pasadena has been a guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Herman. She left on Tuesday for a visit to the Seattle fair. Wm. Crowther and other directors of the Anaheim Union and Santa Ana Water companies went up the river on Sunday to inspect development work. Fred Tuffree came in from Placentia on Tuesday morning to join the soldier boys on their trip to the Bay City encampment. Herman Dickel is back home from an outing at Coronado, where he desported with the mermaids and had a good time. Harry Pierson is at Downey taking care of the Griffith lumber yard during the absence of the manager who is off on a deer hunt. Frank Eastman and F. R. Lagourge attended the rural mail carriers' convention in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The state supports the program with its enforcement powers naturally in return for this essay demands some supervisory authority but growers can rest assured that activities of the state of this nature be kept to an absolute minimum. The dollars and cents aspect is important. Generally speaking, in which the application of the act appropriate, the cost of the program compared with the benefits obtained comparatively insignificant. For instance, in the Imperial valley, it estimated that the program which less than $2 per car increased the value of that car all the way from $80 to $100. The agricultural prorate act has advantage in that it unquestionably permits control over both interstate intrastate marketings. The regulation is applied to harvesting and attaching to the commodity before it becomes article in interstate commerce. That a point already well-established court decisions and is of particular importance where control of the interstate marketings is apt to flood intrastate markets. It may well be about that some of the crops now under AAA control as far as interstate trade is concerned, will require the assistance of the prorate act to protect California markets from the effect of interstate curtailments. Our statute has another advantage: It permits a high degree of local management. Each program is handled by resident growers and handlers. With rather wide limits, they are the authority. If it is necessary to go here, the appeal body is readily accessable and a speedy determination of the fate is possible. In handling perish crops, this is absolutely imperative. One other feature of the act should receive specific attention. The state was drafted to give producers control over the marketing of their crops when two-thirds agreement is reached, does this in no uncertain fashion. The program committee is composed of growers and two handlers, the m Aotic Markets Comedy Put Into Producers' Hands Claims Prorate Act Is Remely Flexible, Does Not Way Restrict Production Special Note: This is the fourth series of four articles dealing with background, operation and sales of the agricultural prorate statute describing a novel to obtain compulsory marketing of agricultural products. By EDSON ABEL Tary, Agricultural Prorate Commission Recent shown by various grower was demonstrated that farmers coming familiar with the possibility of the agricultural prorate act shows that there is a consideration in which the act can be of California agriculture. Farm-class do not easily relinquish their traditional independence, general willingness to go with other farmers in a program or compulsory features evidence seriousness of the agricultural from a producer standpoint probably indicates also a spread of the idea that too dependence in our present commercial structure may have its effects. Agricultural prorate commission fourth program under way. Locations of the act cover Imperial county, Gravenes from Sonoma and Napa lettuce from Santa Barbara Luis Obispo counties and Pom Kern county. There are a motor Beggars Are Increasing in West The motor Beggar and trickster has become common the cross country highways, states a report received from automobile associations. There are today thousands of cars on the roads running on fuel obtained without payment—either by begging or trickery—from isolated country gas stations. This is especially true in the long stretches of road in the Middle and Far West states. This story comes from 33 diff. states. A variety of trickery is used. Some motorists draw up to an isolated gas station and fumble for their purses until the gas is in hte tank. Then they suddenly drive away at top speed. Others beg for gas, telling hard luck stories depending on the well-known kindliness of the country folk. EXTINGUISHES FIRE Anaheim's fire department responded to an alarm Sunday afternoon to extinguish a blaze in a palm tree at Center and Melrose streets. The fire did no damage to the tree. bers being nominated by the growers themselves. The responsibility and opportunity is theirs. A good many people seem to have the impression that once a proration program is instituted, curtailment must be effected. This is not a fact. Curtailment is to be availed of only when market conditions require it. A proration program in extremely flexible and its institution in a given case places in the hands of interested growers a force which can be used on a moment's notice. Its very existence will tend to stabilize markets and if drastic action becomes necessary, no time need be lost in taking it. Thus, a remedy which the producers themselves must administer. It is for them to say whether it shall be used. 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!
