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 O 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 13, 1884 The week just passed, although not especially different from all others for its balmy air, bright sunshine and cool, restful nights, is noticeable by a comparison with eastern weather and its effects as reported by telegraph. On Wednesday night in New York it was intensely hot. The street car lines were almost suspended. It was stated by the street car officials that a continuance of the hot weather one more day would cause the lines to entirely suspend. A large number of people were prostrated by the heat. Nine deaths occurred at Bellevue hospital. In Philadelphia five deaths from sunstroke were reported at the hospitals. At the bench show in progress the suffering among the animals was terrible. Horses were constantly bathed with ice-water, specimen poultry died and were carried off in basketfuls. The heat was prevalent throughout the east, while the far western states were swept by cyclones. The town of Clear Lake in Wisconsin was almost completely wiped out of existence by a tornado. It is an open question whether our summer or our winter is the most preferable as compared with the unpleasant and even dangerous effects of Eastern climate. In summer when enjoying the luxury of our daily ocean breeze, we are thankful to be free from the danger of sunstroke and hurricane, and when in winter with open window and warm sunshine we revel in spring-like freshness of nature, we wonder how people can endure the cold rains, sleet and freezing blasts of the east. The comparison makes us contented and happy. The neighbors of Wm. Harper, whose home was destroyed by an incendiary some weeks ago, have subscribed $437, in sums ranging from one dollar to fifty dollars, to be paid to anyone instrumental in the arrest and conviction of the culprit. As Mr. Harper also offers a reward of $500, it would seem as if sufficient investment would hold for some detective to work up the first paved operating here was pavement extends is pronounced by other blocks in the week. The pavers operations will begin Claudina street. I concrete foundation outlying blocks have been executed.

The neighbors of Wm. Harper, whose home was destroyed by an incendiary some weeks ago, have subscribed $437, in sums ranging from one dollar to fifty dollars, to be paid to anyone instrumental in the arrest and conviction of the culprit. As Mr. Harper also offers a reward of $500, it would seem as if sufficient inducement was held out for some skilled detective to work up the case, more especially as clues are not wanting. The sale of the Fromheim 50 acres in North Anaheim to Lionel Browning, for $11,000 was consumed yesterday through the agency of Hanna & Keith. This tract was purchased by Mr. Fromheim about four years ago for $3500, and it is now considered that Mr. Browning in paying $11,000 for it, got a good bargain. Mr. Fromheim has tendered his resignation as a director in the A. U. W. Co. He and wife will sojourn at Arrowhead Hot Springs in San Bernardino for a time and will then go to San Francisco. A dozen years ago where now stands the beautiful town of Riverside, was a barren plain of sage brush and cacti, entirely worthless except for pasturage, and of little account for that purpose in ordinary years. The assessed value of the property now on that plain is $1,100,361. There must be something in our glorious climate after all. From the many expressions of commendation upon the management of the new hotel at Long Beach, it would seem that that hostelry is fast attaining an enviable reputation which does not surprise those who have had the good fortune to partake of the hospitalities of the Glenwood at Riverside. The guest who falls into the hands of Frank Miller casts his lines in pleasant places, a fact which we know from personal experience. This office is indebted to G. K. Lee for a box of delicious muscat grapes grown on the Grier place, which is under his superintendence. The grapes were large, sweet and thoroughly ripe, and were really as perfect as that fruit can ever get. Mr. Lee reports a large yield on his vineyard, a fact all the more pleasing as the muscat crop is small this year. "Lucky" Baldwin with eleven horses from California has won twelve stake-races in the east, netting him $15,000 clear profit, from which we deduce that Baldwin is entitled to a continuance of the use of his front name, and that California can produce fast horses unrivaled even by those of Kentucky. A meeting of members of the republican club was held on Tuesday evening at which a committee consisting of E. A. White, F. C. Smythe and C. S. Compton was appointed to make arrangements for the mass meeting of Thursday evening. Wm. Wolf, C. A. Norman and D. D. Rich were appointed to circulate the roll of membership for signers. The meeting adjourned until Monday evening next at 8 o'clock when a constitution and by-laws will be submitted for adoption.

Rich were appointed to circulate the roll of membership for signers. The meeting adjourned until Monday evening next at 8 o'clock when a constitution and by-laws will be submitted for adoption. Last Friday J. B. Pierce while driving a spirited horse attached to a two-wheeled gig along a road bordered by a high growth of sunflowers, about a half mile west of Garden Grove collided with a two horse team which turned into the road just ahead. Mr. Pierce was thrown violently to the ground, receiving serious bruises, narrowly escaping with his life. One of the shafts of the gig struck one horse of the team killing it almost instantly. Mr. Pierce is still suffering from the injuries received. There are many places in this immediate vicinity which invite an accident similar to the one described. The dense growth of weeds and brush should be cut down at such places so that travelers approaching these abrupt corners from opposite directions can see each other in time to avoid an accident. The citizen who pays road taxes has a right to demand that he can drive through the county without danger of collision by reason of obstructed highways. The Governor has appointed James H. Wall, of Santa Ana as a Notary Public, vice N. A. Young resigned. Also, Chas. Humphries of Santa Ana, vice self, term expired. The wine-making season has been fairly inaugurated several of the growers being already at work crushing zinfandel and other early varieties. We prefer to defer any statement regarding the crop until the juice is in the cask. That's the safest way. The water will be turned out of the upper ditch tomorrow (Sunday) that a necessary sandgate can be put in. The water will be out eight or ten days. There is so little irrigating being done now that no inconvenience will result from this temporary stoppage. Mr. Yeager, the wagon maker will complete this week a new passenger and mail wagon for L. F. Lewis. It will seat twenty persons, and will be the best wagon of the kind in the county. 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 SEPTEMBER 16, 1909 The first paved city block completed by the paving firm now operating here was formally opened to traffic on Tuesday. The pavement extends from Claudina to Los Angeles on Center, and is pronounced by experts to be a substantial piece of work. Three other blocks in the center of town will be opened to traffic next week. The pavers will then move to Orange street where paving operations will begin and continue until a junction is effected at Claudina street. Inside blocks are being paved with cementconcrete foundation at a cost of 17 cents per square foot, while outlying blocks have an asphaltum and crushed-rock foundation. The cost of the latter is 12 cents per square foot. The cheaper pavement is serviceable in every way and a workmanlike job will be executed. The paving company have erected an extensive plant on Santa Ana street, south of Claudina where material is prepared for the street. The rock is brought in from the Corona quarries, gravel from McPherson and asphalt from Los Angeles. Rock and asphalt are each separately heated to a degree of 250 to 300 Fahrenheit, an then mixed according to schedule and loaded upon wagons for use upon the streets. The company had 138 men and 25 teams upon the payroll last week. Besides the area to be paved on Center and Los Angeles streets, property owners on Claudina, Hermine and Broadway are also considering the paving of those streets. The cost of paving now under contract will be about $50,000 and $5000 for the street intersections. The work will keep the pavers here until well into next year. The supervisors have ordered that signs be placed at the intersection of every railroad within the county line. The signs will bear the words, "Orange County Line." R. A. Fuller of El Modena, was appointed statistician to make the annual report to the state agricultural society. County Clerk Williams notified the Board that before January 1st the five precincts in Santa Ana 46,715 Federal Transients, California In August; A Of Road" About 33,409 Unattached Individuals Taken Shelters and Work Camps, While 133 Families Handled by Transient Fa Exceeding all other states in the union in the number of indigent nonresidents under the care of the federal government, California had during August a total of 46,715 "federal transients" registered for relief, according to figures released by officials of the federal transient service. This figure includes 33,409 unattached individuals, mostly men and boys, who are handled principally in the 45 federal shelters and work camps throughout the state. The remaining 13,306 persons are members of destitute families handled by the transient family service bureaus in California. A "federal transient," according to the official definition is "a person or family group having no legal settlement (12 months continuous residence) within the state in which it is applying for relief." A statistical study of 10,300 case cards of individual federal transients, just completed by David H. Dodge, statistician for the Transient Service in California, reveals a composite picture of the "average" transient. Here it is: If a man, he has been in the state about three months; if a woman, about four months, before seeking relief. If a man, he has probably come in on a freight car; if a woman, in an automobile. His average age is 36; hers 33. He left school when he was 16; she left at 15 although she was farther along in her grades than he was. He to be paved on Center and Los Angeles streets, property owners on Claudina, Hermine and Broadway are also considering the paving of those streets. The cost of paving now under contract will be about $50,000 and $5000 for the street intersections. The work will keep the pavers here until well into next year. The supervisors have ordered that signs be placed at the intersection of every railroad within the county line. The signs will bear the words, "Orange County Line." R. A. Fuller of El Modena, was appointed statistician to make the annual report to the state agricultural society. County Clerk Williams notified the Board that before January 1st the five precincts in Santa Ana, Westminster and West Anaheim would have to be divided as they are too large for easy handling. Rev. F. W. Mitchell, pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city and Miss Daisy Swerdfeger of Santa Ana will be married on Monday next at 3 o'clock at the residence of the bride's parents in the latter city. The officiating clergyman will be Rev. D. Garnett of the First Baptist Church of Santa Ana. The newly wedded couple after a brief honeymoon trip will take up their residence in this city. The folding crate company has closed a contract with W. E. McCann for the erection of a six-room bungalow on East Broadway, also with Mrs. Polhemus for a two-story residence and barn on her ranch southeast of town, also with M. Nebelung for the remodeling and reconstruction of his residence on Sycamore street. The financial statement of the First National Bank, published in another column, shows total deposits amounting to $380,860.34 and total resources $516,824.49. The bank continues in flourishing condition, and enjoys a floodtide of prosperity. R. C. Mills of Riverside was in town one day last week, the guest of his son Robert. The family are domiciled at Newport Beach for the present for the benefit of Mrs. Mills' health which has not been of the best of late. Earnest Yorba commenced on Monday hauling grapes to Otto Rust's winery. The crop is fair, and the price is $8 for first crop, $9 for second, $10 for mission. One grower had 200 tons and sold the crop for $6 on the cars at Esperanza. A. J. Lawton was over from Santa Ana on Friday. Mr. Lawton was formerly a resident of Anaheim, but for a number of years has resided at the county seat. He finds many evidences of improvement hereabout since his last visit several years ago. The retail merchants association met on Wednesday evening and appointed a committee to prepare the floats for the Carnival of products at Santa Ana on September 30th, and October 1 and 2. The committee is composed of Henry M. Adams, J. F. Ahlborn, Jos. Backs Jr., August Schumacher and C. F. Grim. A committee composed of A. Nagel, W. P. Quarton and J. F. Ahlborn was appointed to appear as a committee before the city council and requests that body that it raise the license for traveling medicine companies from $10 to $100 per day, and all street faker's in like proportion. Statistician for the Translent Service in California, reveals a composite picture of the "average" transeitent. Here it is: If a man, he has been in the state about three months; if a woman, about four months, before seeking relief. If a man, he has probably come in on a freight car; if a woman, in an automobile. His average age is 36; hers 33. He left school when he was 16; she left at 15 although she was farther along in her grades than he was. He has probably been a laborer or mechanic; her probable occupation was that of domestic. He is about 5 feet, eight inches tall, weighing around 155 pounds; she is 5 feet 4 and weighs around 129. Both are white and were born in the United States. The above represents, the average transient but there were deviations from this norm. While the average man was single, white and 36, a small group—about 19% admitted to having been married. This information is taken by relief officials with a grain of salt. It is highly improbable that more than 80% of the men registered were single. Sixty per cent of the 300 women studied had been married and more than half of these had dependents. While the average educational attainment of the translents was graduation from grammar school, 4% of the men had had college training. 35% high school training. Only 2.4% were illiterate. Less than 10% were foreign born, and most of these came from the English-speaking countries. It would seem that the Anglo Saxons and the Celts are the people who take to the road. Jackrabbit Grade To Be Eliminated By Modern Highway Construction of a new direct modern-type state highway between Riverside and Beaumont to take place of the slow, circuitous Jackrabbit grade is expected to start immediately. Award of the contract for the new road to cut through the "badlands" between the two points was scheduled for last Thursday. The new route will extend from a point near the summit of Box Springs grade east to the inland highway, U.S. 99, near Beaumont and will lie north of the present Jackrabbit Trail. The new road alignment to by-pass the old grade was surveyed by the state union recommendations of groups in The retail merchants association met on Wednesday evening and appointed a committee to prepare the floats for the Carnival of products at Santa Ana on September 30th, and October 1 and 2. The committee is composed of Henry M. Adams, J. F. Ahlborn, Jos. Backs Jr., August Schumacher and C. F. Grim. A committee composed of A. Nagel, W. P. Quarton and J. F. Ahlborn was appointed to appear as a committee before the city council and requests that body that it raise the license for traveling medicine companies from $10 to $100 per day, and all street faker's in like proportion. Phil Krick of the Water office reports thousands of water inches in the river, so much so that the company's pumping plants may be shut down. Heavy rains have fallen in the mountains and water is plentiful. L. J. Lewis, Miss Cora Lewis, and Mr. and Mrs. Fitch and children, drove down from Los Angeles on Thursday and spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis. L. Z. Huntington is growing 200,000 eucalyptus trees for the Golden State realty company for planting on its lands northeast of town. Studies were resumed at St. Catherine's academy on Tuesday last with 150 pupils and a faculty of 20 sisters. Highschool resumed studies Monday with 83 students an increase of two over the opening day last year. Frank Eastman reminds us that yesterday was the ninth anniversary of the establishment of rural free delivery in Anaheim. He was appointed carrier of Route No. 1, September 15, 1900, and has been holding down the job ever since. Next Sunday will be a great day in the history of the local Methodist church. Dr. G. F. Bovard, president of the University of Southern California will preach the dedication sermon of the remodeled church in the morning at 11 o'clock. There will be special music. The public is invited. Dr. Dryer of Santa Ana looked for a gas leak with a match the other day in his bathroom. He found it. He is laid up for repairs. The new road alignment by-pass the old grade was surveyed by the state upon recommendations of groups in the district. The highway budget provides $650,000 for the entire project which will be 25.3 miles in length, save traffic considerable time and inconvenience, and shorten the distance between the points by more than one mile. The new highway will be built to modern standards and have a maximum grade of five per cent as compared to three-quarters of a mile of six per cent grade on the old Jackrabbit Pass route. Its summit elevation will be 75 feet lower than the present road. It will prove particularly valuable for farm-to-market transportation. 100,000 Cases of Peaches for Needy Nearly 100,000 cases of California peaches have been canned and are ready for distribution to needy families in the state. It was announced at the offices of Vernon D. Northrop, acting administrator of the California emergency relief administration. August Post Office Receipts Show Gain August postal receipts in Anaheim were $3,453.53, while for July this year the total was $3,326.78, according to Postmaster J. H. Whitaker. Last year August receipts were $3555.76. The new fiscal year began July 1.
