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of Anaheim and Or 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 2, 1884 The Directors of the A. U. W. Co., at their meeting on Friday rescinded the resolution offering a half share of stock for each share of stock of the Farmers' Ditch company. It is understood that action will be taken today on a proposition to give the latter company a quarter share of stock for each of its shares, provided the assessments ($2.50 per share) be paid on the stock so given. It is probable that the vexed question will be settled on this basis. The assessment now pending will be delinquent on Tuesday, and the delinquents will be advertised according to law next Saturday. The superintendent and zanjero report the condition of the ditches and water every day at the secretary's office and their reports are bulletined as soon as received. Times are lively, and business brisk in Chinatown just now. Games, big and little, are the order of the day and the disorder of the night. The payment of several thousand dollars in hard cash by the Anaheim Union Water company to Chinamen employed on the ditches, renders money easy among Sin Si Wau's celestials. The report of the demise of two Chinese fiddlers was permature. The orchestra is in excellent health and its musical inconsonancy is surpassed only by its persistence. That any part of it had joined the "angel band" is simply a hope deferred. Dan Rich, a clerk in Cahen's store, was summoned suddenly to San Bernardino on Monday by the sad death of his sister, Miss Leah Rich. It appears that the lady was sojourning at Arrowhead Hot Springs in San Bernardino county, and while bathing with a party of ladies she competed with them in remaining under the water as long as possible. Shortly after leaving the water she was seized with convulsions and died on Monday morning. It is supposed that a blood vessel was ruptured. 25 YE Center street be up Monday prelimin six horse team hitch the entire day in tea flint. Grade stai driven over them amolest them.

Shortly after leaving the water she was seized with convulsions and died on Monday morning. It is supposed that a blood vessel was ruptured. Two acres of land at Downey near the railroad track have been purchased by F. Weis of Anaheim who will put up a winery in time to work up this year's grapes. There is a large tract of country around Downey in vineyards and heretofore the bulk of the crop has been hauled to San Gabriel wineries. It is understood that the grape growers gave special inducements to Mr. Weis to locate his winery at the point named. Mr. Sewell of San Gabriel takes a very gloomy view of the prospect for the orange growers in this section, as the market is badly broken in the east and dealers do not care to purchase California oranges owing to the condition they have arrived in for the past two seasons. There will be fully 500,000 boxes in the county this year, and Mr. Sewell thinks the growers will be fortunate if they realize 50 cents per box on the trees. The oranges should not be left on the trees until June as they are more liable to decay. The tariff on oranges at present is $3 per thousand, and even at this comparatively high figure our growers find it hard work to compete with the cheap labor of Europe and the islands. Should the democrats be able to carry out their free-trade theories, Mr. Sewell thinks oranges would be practically worthless as there would be no market outside of the coast. A letter from Thos. P. Hinde announces his safe arrival in Darlington, England. He finds a great difference in the climate of Old England and Southern California. Warm weather with thunder and rain does not suit him so well as the sunshine and ocean breezes of Anaheim. Business is in a depressed condition. It is among the probabilities that he will return to Anaheim. The person who presented the name of Dr. McDonald before the Prohibition convention at Pittsburg announced him a resident of the "wine cursed state of California." Anaheim is one of the largest wine manufacturing centers of America. Hundreds of thousands of gallons of good and pure wine are annually made from the grape. To discover the curse of wine one must search in other localities. For sobriety, temperance and good morals we challenge the strongest prohibition town of Iowa or Kansas to a comparison with wine-making Anaheim. Facts are stronger than fanaticism. C. W. Watts of Pasadena, who has been prominent as a candidate for the democratic nomination for sheriff, announces his withdrawal from the contest. There are plenty aspirants for the office however. R. M. Barham, N. A. Covarrubias and W. R. Rowland are actively engaged in laying wires for the nomination and it is said that T. E. Rowan is a candidate, though the report lacks confirmation.

Rowan is a candidate, though the report lacks confirmation. The shrievalty is about the only plum worth picking since the readjustment of salaries, hence the struggle for the prize. We acknowledge the receipt of a complimentary invitation to be present at the Fifth Annual Exposition of the Sixth District Agricultural association, which will be held in Los Angeles from October 13th to 18th inclusive. Seven carloads of eastern freight which have been on the road more than three months arrived in Anaheim on Wednesday. The freight was transferred across the Colorado river at Yuma by steamer and reloaded on Southern Pacific cars. The new post office building is about completed, and it is probable the postoffice will be removed to the new location the latter part of next week—probably Friday or Saturday. The new office will be a daisy. The Times (Los Angeles) says that the Southern California Orange company which was organized last year for the purpose of speculating in oranges has lost nearly $90,000 in the venture. A young Chinaman as a pet and companion is becoming a popular craze among the aristocratic ladies in New York. Mrs. Langtry originated the "idea." It is estimated there are forty threshing machines at work in this county six days in the week, turning out 75,000 bushels of grain daily. An election will be held in Orangethorpe school district on August 25th, to vote upon the question of raising a tax of $500 with which to repair the schoolhouse and improve the lot. Several of the high peaks of the neighboring mountains retain their white crowns of snow. It is a pleasing sight in August. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only s of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 5, 1909 Center street between Los Angeles and Chartres was plowed up Monday preliminary to the paving of that thoroughfare. A six horse team hitched to a large road-plow was engaged during the entire day in tearing up the thoroughfare which was hard as a flint. Grade stakes were placed in the streets, and wagons driven over them and hailed, so that passing teams would not molest them. Paving will be completed on Center street between Los Angeles and Chartres before being taken up elsewhere, but the work of paving the entire business center will be pushed rapidly. The work is being done by the Fairchild-Gilmore-Wilton company. It will cost about $50,000. Robert Cogburn of Santa Ana is inspecting the work. Property owners on Broadway, Philadelphia and Claudina streets are talking of paving and it would not be surprising if these thoroughfares be thus improved before the work is finally completed. The trustees of the Fullerton Union high school have decided to add a department of manual training beginning this term and have employed R. A. Marsden of Edgerton, Wis., to take charge of it. The new department will be in the present high school building this year but it is the intention of the trustees to erect a separate building in a year or two as machinery will probably be installed after the first term. The sum of $3,000 has been provided to carry on the work for the first year. No one has been employed yet to teach the department of domestic science. Prof. Marsden will receive an annual salary of $1200 and the principal of domestic science will receive $1045 a year. Miss Victoria Nemetz was married at Pasadena on Tuesday evening to Roy Hilton of Needles. Mrs. Nemetz, mother of the bride, and Mr. and Mrs. Harley Payne attended the wedding which was solemnized at the home of the groom's sister, Mrs. Boucher. The newly wedded couple were recipients of congratulations from Miss Victoria Nemetz was married at Pasadena on Tuesday evening to Roy Hilton of Needles. Mrs. Nemetz, mother of the bride, and Mr. and Mrs. Harley Payne attended the wedding which was solemnized at the home of the groom's sister, Mrs. Boucher. The newly wedded couple were recipients of congratulations from a number of guests present. The wedding presents were numerous and costly. The happy couple will take up their residence at Needles where the groom is engaged in railroading. Walter Angell, 13 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Angell, and Edward White, 10 years old, son of Dr. and Mrs. Edward White were drowned at Fisherman's cove, Rocky Point near Laguna Beach on Wednesday afternoon of last week. The bodies were recovered and brought here for burial. The remains of Edward White were interred in Holy Cross cemetery. Services were celebrated at the Catholic church by Rev. Father Dubble. Rev. Mitchell of the Presbyterian church conducted services at the Angell home for the funeral of Walter Angell, and the Presbyterian choir sang appropriate hymns. Six little schoolmates of the dead lad carried the casket to the waiting hearse. They were Foster Chambers, Dale Hollingworth, Eddie Reed, George Kemp, Kenneth Nagel and Virgil Simpson. George E. Dutton and son, Roger Dutton, returned on Saturday from a two week's deer hunting trip in the San Gabriel mountains. The party saw ten deer and killed two fine bucks. One with spikes about six inches long being killed by Roger Dutton. The other, a four pointer, weighing over one hundred pounds dressed, was shot by Ralph Van Winkle another member of the party. Three large rattlesnakes were killed. Dr. George H. Bailey died on Wednesday morning, August 4th, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Kuchel, 140 Claudina street. He arrived in this city a week ago from Phoenix, Arizona. Dr. Bailey was a native of Georgia, but lived in Texas since early childhood. He came to California in 1873 and two years later came to Anaheim to reside. Dr. Bailey graduated from Tulane University, New Orleans in 1860. He enlisted in the Confederate army when war broke out between the states and served during the entire war. For conspicuous bravery displayed in action he was voted the freedom of the State of Texas by concurrent resolution of both houses of the legislature, and was also presented with a sword and medal of honor, suitably inscribed by Gen. Magruder, on behalf of the Confederate government. Services will be held this afternoon from the home of his daughter and interment will be in Anaheim cemetery. The Merchants and Manufacturers association on Monday evening elected a new board of directors to serve during the ensuing year as follows: J. S. Howard, O. A. Mullinix, J. W. Wallop, Jos. Backs sr. After the election the association sat down to a big feed at Smith's cafe. Fred Pressel has engaged passage on the President Grant for potato programs, the prorate commission has received a petition for the institution of a Concord grape agreement in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange counties, Abel said. Artichoke growers in the coastal counties were reported circulating petitions for the institution of an artichoke marketing program. "A policy embracing expeditious action, strict enforcement and maximum local control has no doubt, contributed to the use of the act," the secretary commented. "The statute has already weathered attacks upon its constitutionality in both the state and federal courts." The membership of the commission represents all sections of the state. It follows: A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana, president; J. J. Brooks, Walnut Grove; Roy M. Pike, Vernals; George H. Hecke, Woodland; O. W. Schluessner, Preston McKlinney, San Francisco; and E. A. Stokdyk, Berkeley. The commission has headquarters with the state department of agriculture, state office building, Sacramento. Legionnaires Name Tubbs As Delegate Legionnaires of the 21st district, meeting at Huntington Beach over the week-end, unanimously endorsed Dixon Tubbs of Tustin as a delegate-at-large to the American Legion convention to be held at Miami in September. Riverside's Eph Williams was named commander of the district, succeeding Upland's Tom Howardton. Tustin's Glen Young was shoved up from second to first vice-commander, and Donald McIntosh of Colton was named second vice-commander. Commander Ray Van Wagoner headed the local delegation. J. Fred Sidebottom was elected chairman of the county convention caucus. Tenants Seeking Farms, Security On Land Is Seen Federal Land Bank Reports Growing Demands For Its Farm Holdings Increasingly tenant farmers who have been leasing farm properties in possession of the Berkeley federal land bank are aspiring to become owners of The Merchants and Manufacturers association on Monday evening elected a new board of directors to serve during the ensuing year as follows: J. S. Howard, O. A. Mullinix, J. W. Wallop, Jos. Backs sr. After the election the association sat down to a big feed at Smith's cafe. Fred Pressel has engaged passage on the President Grant for himself and two daughters leaving for the other side on the 22nd. The boat is the same one on which Mr. and Mrs. Alex Henry made their trip across on their voyage to Scotland. Judge West has gone to Tehama county for his annual vacation, where M. M. Crookshank, president of the First National bank of Santa Ana and R. T. Harris have a camp at that place in the redwoods and where a number of Santa Anans have taken their outings for several years past. Attorney E. E. Keech will go to the camp in a few days. Every man expects to get the limit in bucks before he returns as he has nearly always done in previous years. W. D. Thompson and C. Amberg who are back from a hunting expedition in the wilds of Santiago mountains tell stories of great slaughter among doves, rabbits, and other game. No deer were seen and the game warden found no "top-nots" in their game bag upon its inspection. T. E. Schmidt has returned to his home here having recovered from recent injuries sustained in a fall at Elysian park Los Angeles. E. R. Amerige writes from Montreal that he is viewing the sights of that city. He is touring the east and everywhere finds times prosperous and crops abundant. George N. Frentz has sold eleven acres east of town to J. M. Gunnett for $11,000. Mr. Frentz and wife have removed to Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wallop returned from Tulare on Tuesday afternoon and will again take up their residence in this city. Don Juan de la Guerra was in town the first of the week. He reports that Mrs. de la Guerra has been ill of late but is improving. Federal Land Bank Reports Growing Demands For Its Farm Holdings Increasingly tenant farmers who have been leasing farm properties in possession of the Berkeley federal land bank are aspiring to become owners of their rented acres, it is reported from the real estate sales department of the bank. This class and former farmer who either have lost their acres through misfortune or who have become discontented with life in the towns constitute the most active bidders for land bank properties. "Realization that farm real estate at present is pretty near rock bottom prices, that farm products are gradually strengthening and that, even during hard times, the farm offers a home, security and a living which too often cannot be guaranteed by city employment, are the factors moving prospective purchasers," an officer in charge of real estates sales said. "Practically all of our sales are made to inquirers living within 50 to 100 miles of the property sought." As evidence of increasing stability of the farming industry this official cited the fact that larger down payments of cash were being made this year than last and that the number of farms sold in the first six months of the present year was considerably above that of 1932, the peak of the depression. Up to July 1, 1934, sales in the eleventh district of the farm credit administration totalled 61. This represented a transfer of 7809 acres for a gross amount of $181,341. By states, acreage and amounts the sales record stands: California, 28 sales, 2752.57 acres, $93,492; Utah, 29 sales, 4121.47 acres, $72,349; Arizona, 4 sales, 935 acres, $15,500. There were no sales in Nevada. It Has Secrets of Control State's Agriculture Occurs Day anniversary of natural prorate act being become law on Abel, secretary approved that more agricultural land provisions and grouped themselves markets with the que statute. The burden of concerns has lightened and improved the wish willing and paid. State programs in Valley, 240 growers, Sarra and San Luis growers, 5,194 Napa counties, acres,enty, 215 growers, lettuce, apple and appropriate commission for the intra-grape agreement Aura, Los Angeles Abel said. Artico coastal counties using petitions for tartichoke market-expeditious account and maximum doubt, contributed to," the secretary If Your Hot Dogs Don't Blush They Are Better Eating Don't be skeptical of the quality of your "hot dogs" this summer if they appear a little pale. While it appears that this is the age of color, that fashion seems to be out of style insofar as frankfurters and sausages are concerned, according to the division of animal industry, state department of agriculture. The lack of color scheme for the weinerwursts and other meats is due to an amendment to the California meat inspection regulations, effective August 15, which prohibits the use of coloring matter or dye in meat products, and casings, it was explained. It was pointed out that although most dyes used to brighten up the "hot dogs" have not been harmful, it was thought that the quality of such products would be improved if their use was prohibited. By prohibiting the use of artificial coloring, it is believed that meat packers will be able to offer the consuming public better quality-meats, especially so in view of the fact that the natural appearance of the product should have a desirable effect on its market appeal. While the sausages may not blush as much as formerly, their edibility will not suffer by reason of the "au naturel" effect, it was said. "Truth" Is Subject For Lesson-Sermon "Lead me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day." These words from Psalm xxv are the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "Truth" on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Scriptural citations in the Lesson-Sermon cites these verses from Mark, but they bring no illumination. 400 Students Will Get Work Through FERA Plan at S. C. Effort Is Made to Encourage More High Graduates to Attend College Approximately 400 men and women students at the University of Southern California will be given part-time work during the academic year, 1934-35. It was assured by the federal emergency relief administration which announced increased appropriations through Harry L. Hopkins, administrator at Washington, D. C., and released by Dr. Frank C. Touton, vice-president of U. S. C. In an effort to encourage more students to attend college, FERA declares that 50 percent of those given aid must be new students who were not enrolled in U. S. C. either in the fall or spring terms. High school graduates entering the university for the first time who have recommendations of character and assurance that they will do high grade college work are eligible. "Affirmation must be made by students receiving such aid that they could not otherwise attend or remain in college without FERA assistance," states Dr. Touton. Applications are being received at the university employment bureau by Charles Boren, director. Work beginning September 1 and extending through June, 1935, will include library work, research, clerical, laboratory and field assistance work, and recreational service and extension teaching for adults. Students may earn from $10 to $20 per month with 30 hours each week as the maximum time for which they may be assigned. Truth Is Subject For Lesson-Sermon "Lead me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day." These words from Psalm xxv are the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "Truth" on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Scriptural citations in the Lesson-Sermon cites these verses from Mark: "And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them; and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. Varily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein." A correlative passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "Jesus loved little children because of their freedom from wrong and their receptiveness of right. While age is halting between two opinions or 'battling with false beliefs', youth makes easy and rapid strides towards Truth." GAS TAXES HIGH Gasoline taxes paid in 1933 were nearly equal to the wholesale value of all motor vehicles produced during the year.
