IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Centennial History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Oakland 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 27, 1884 The vintage season may be said to have fairly opened in Anaheim. Heavily laden teams pass along the various highways in almost ceaseless procession carrying the fruit of the vines from the fields to the press. The sand upon the road is stained with the purple juice which trickles from the mass of grapes, and the small boy watcheth his opportunity to filch a bunch from the stern of the wagon when the watchful driver has his attention diverted. In thirty or more vineyards may be seen that scene, so picturesque in pictures, of men cutting bunches of grapes from the prolific vines, and in thirty or more cellars the creak of the crusher as it presses the grapes is borne to the ear of the visitor. In other climes where nature is not so generous as here and where the grape vine is unknown the imagination of the reader will doubtless invest the account of a vintage scene with a halo and romance entirely foreign to the reality. Our view of the vintage is sordid not romantic, we are not at all interested in the picturesque Chinese grape picker nor the tan colored Indian turning the crusher, but we are concerned in the number of tons to the acre and the prospective price for the wine which will be made this season. The grape crop in some vineyards is very good this season and in others very poor. There is no known reason why the crop is "streaked." It is one of those inexplicable things which lieuof any other solution, we can only attribute to the glorious climate of California, but while the crop may be unsatisfactory to some growers, the price can fairly be said to satisfy all growers—except those who make wine. The Burruel Point flouring mill is being transformed into a roller mill, the stones being discarded, about five thousand dollars will be spent in this improvement and in increasing the capacity of the mill, the output of which will be a carload of flour per day.

The mill will start up in about two weeks. Dillion & Co. have made good flour heretofore and with the improved process the flour will doubtless be superfine. The attention of the roadmaster in the district in which the bridge across the creek between Anaheim and Santa Ana is located, is called to its condition. It is in such a state of frailty and dilapidation that travelers with ordinary teams are disinclined to cross it. Unless it is speedily braced up a mangled man and a suit for damages will probably be among the events of the immediate future. The democratic club met on Saturday evening last at Kroeger's hall and effected a permanent organization by the election of Theordore Staley, president, Dr. J. S. Gardiner, Thos. L. Gannon, D. W. C. Cowan, vice-presidents, D. W. Hudson, secretary, A. W. Steinhart, treasurer. S. A. Dennis, L. W. Bentz, W. M. McFadden, finance committee. A ticket for delegates to the county convention to be voted for today was nominated and the club adjourned. At a meeting of the democratic central club of Los Angeles held on Thursday evening an attempt was made to commit the club to the support of Covarrubias for sheriff. The friends of Dick Barham rallied to his support and defeated the movement. The club finally amid great confusion, refused to endorse either candidate until after the convention. The friends of both aspirants to the shrievalty nominated seemed equally determined. The board of supervisors in special session on Thursday issued an election proclamation and designated the polling places and officers of election. In Anaheim the polls will be at the Planters hotel. Theo. Rimpau, inspector, Alex Bailey and J. P. Zeyn judges. Orange—at hotel, T. W. Hill, E. W. Squires and E. C. Parker. Santa Ana—at hotel, Henry Neill, Chas. E. Berry and Capt. Jennings.

Webster. At the meeting of directors of the A. U. W company last Saturday. Ernest Browning was elected a member of the board, vice Formhein, resigned. The secretary was instructed to prepare a statement of the affairs of the company, print the same and send a copy to every stockholder. The statement will be ready next week.

Smith, are a revelation, and should be borne in mind by those who intend to buy any thing of the kind. By selling at these bed-rock prices Mr. Smith has worked up a fine trade. The marriage of Clayton Upson and Miss Katie White was solemnized on last Wednesday evening. The young people are well known here and if hearty good wishes have any influence, their married life will prove a happy one. The Los Angeles Common Council propose to enact an ordinance requiring owners of orchards which are infested with white scale to disinfect and exterminate them. This is a vigorous way of dealing with a growing calamity. Mr. Schorn, who is now working up the product of his young zinfandel vineyard, reports the yield to average seven tons to the acre. This is a remarkably good yield for this year of uneven crops. The electric lamp advertised by Hippolyte Cahen is so much superior to the common lamp that they ought not to be mentioned together. They give a light equal to five ordinary lamps. Call and see them in operation at Cahen's store any evening. Hanna and Keith report the sale of fifteen acres of land by Christian Meyers, to Mr. Neubauer, consideration, $3,000. We hope Mr. Meyers will again buy in this vicinity. Master David Smythe while romping with some playmates on Friday of last week, fell and broke his arm. He is getting along nicely. C. H. Nickerson, who has been absent in Utah for some time has returned to Anaheim for an indefinite stay. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Logs of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 30, 1909 City Engineer Steward submitted to the city trustees at their meeting on Thursday evening figures showing the cost to the municipality for paving street intersections on Center and Los Angeles streets. His figures show that the cost will amount to $7300, and that the total cost for paving now under contract is $46,000. In addition to this there was about $20,000 more paving in sight on Claudina, Hermine, Broadway and West Center streets. Final estimates may run much higher than these here enumerated. The entire tax fund for general purposes is $10,000. Two thousand dollars will have to be paid for the new pipe line on Broadway which will leave $8000 with which to meet paving charges. Municipal improvements have been going forward at a rapid rate, and around the city hall the word is that improvements have just begun. Trustees Rust, Fiscus, Kroeger, Stock and Gates were present. Superintendent of streets Steadman reported water connections made with new residence of F. H. Schneider on Hermine street, H. D. Cordes, East Sycamore, Ole Weaver, South Lemon oiled from Broadway to south. With exception of streets intersections he reported paving on East Center street from Claudina to Los Angeles completed and accepted. Team No. 1 hauling gravel, No. 2 sprinkling. One hundred and twenty-five walnut growers from all parts of Southern California, representing four-fifths of this season's crop met at the Chamber of Commerce, Los Angeles on Saturday and fixed prices for the current year. Representing the Anaheim association were Joseph Fiscus, Samuel Kraemer, Mr. Covert and S. Hayden. The price for first-class hard-shells, 11 cents, and for No. 2's of both grades 7½ cents. Local growers contended for a higher price, as did also B. F. Porter of Fullerton and Judge Stutsman of Tustin, but Rivera and Ventura growers stood for Extend Deadline of Loans for Feed In Drought Areas And of This Year Set After Original Date On September 15th The farm credit administration announces that the time for receiving applications for loans for feed for farm livestock in the secondary drought areas has been extended to the close of business December 31, 1934. The cut-off date was previously set for September 15, 1934. The announcement that the feeding loans in the secondary areas will be extended beyond the time of pasture also states that the notes evidencing such loans hereafter will be drawn to mature November 1, 1935, thus corresponding to the maturity date of the feed and forage loans in the primary emergency drought areas. The maturity date on feed loans in the secondary drought areas previously was October 31, 1934. The statement points out that the emergency feed and forage loans in the drought areas are advanced from appropriated funds through the emergency crop and feed loan offices and are not disbursed through the regular financing institutions under the farm credit administration. The feed loans in the primary drought areas are being made from a part of the $525,000,000 drought relief appropriation approved June 19, 1934, and the feed loans in the secondary areas from the $40,000,000 crop fund approved February 23, 1934.

Local growers contended for a higher price, as did also B. F. Porter of Fullerton and Judge Stutsman of Tustin, but Rivera and Ventura growers stood for a lower price than last year. Last years crop was reported to be 920 ten-ton cars. Estimates of the present year's crop showed 742 ten-ton cars in the field. With a much smaller crop than last year, and with infinitely better financial conditions prevailing, the price was fixed lower than last year because of lack of organization among the growers. The price of the present season's crop is estimated at one and three quarter million dollars. Local ball-tossers defeated the Union Well supply of Los Angeles at baseball on the local grounds Sunday afternoon before a large crowd by a score of 3 to 1. Features of the game were the pitching of Huntington and Spencer, Valencia's work at first and Chilly Fischer's audacious stealing of bases. Hursey was touched for eight hits. The locals scored their first run in the second on a hit by Carpenter, a sacrifice by Collins and a single by Huntington. In the third Fischer was hit by a pitched ball, went to second on a steal, took third on an overthrow to second and came home while the center fielder was fiddling with the ball. The foreigners got their only run in the sixth inning on a three bagger by Connor and a hit by Herman. The locals will play the Pasadena White Sox next Sunday. The Sophomores of the local high school have completed their class organization. The following officers were elected: Walter Cadman, president; Aleida Heying, vice president; Honrietta Schindler, secretary and treasurer; Grace Adams, Helena Goodale, Aleida Heying, program committee. Merchants and townspeople should not overlook the fact that Anaheim will probably have free city delivery of mails next year, if receipts at the postoffice show necessary increase in business. The increase thus far since April is well above the mark, and with a long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether will land this adjunct to civilization. We must have free mail delivery. The year's business at the postoffice will tell the story. Anaheim now has five routes of rural mail delivery. We ought to place ourselves upon equal footing with our cousins in the rural districts. First rains of the season have fallen in the north and the weather bureau early in the week prophesied showers for Southern California. No rain fell south of Tehachepi, and none is wanted for two months. Thousands of acres of beans, beets and other crops remain unharvested and rain would do incalculable damage. The most favorable years we have had are those in which no rain falls until Thanksgiving. The senior class of the high school has elected the following officers: Geo. Chambers, president; Miss Flora Newman vice-president; Miss Zella Hollingworth, secretary. Robert McAuley, treasurer, George Hager, business manager; Leland Lewis joke disbursement through the regular financing institutions under the farm credit administration. The feed loans in the primary drought areas are being made from a part of the $525,000,000 drought relief appropriation approved June 19, 1934, and the feed loans in the secondary areas from the $40,000,000 crop fund approved February 23, 1934. Birds and Africa Subjects of Study Two extension courses by University College of the University of Southern California will be given on Tuesday from September 25 to December 11 at Fremont school, according to announcements of Superintendent M. A. Gauer's office Thursday. Dr. Adele Lewis Grant will conduct a beginners' course in ornithology, which will be a study of birds with special emphasis on those in Southern California. Several field trips will be made to study shore, land and water birds. Successful students will get two units of college credit in this subject. Another course, trades, transportation, geography and resources of Africa, will be a practical study of that country. It gives two credits, also. Cost of registration is $2 and the cost of each course is $12. Everybody interested is invited to the first classes. Size of Fruit Is Best Since 1926 Dr. Dean D. Waynick of Association Laboratories reported this week that measurements compiled from 17 local representative orchards show the largest sizes of oranges for this time of the year since 1926. Outside fruit now measures 1.888 inches and inside 1.786 inches. Last year at a similar time the fruit measures 1.558 and 1.398, respectively, while in 1926 the measurements were 2 and 1.844 inches, respectively.

WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE—WITHOUT CALOMEL And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to Go If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, oil, lazive candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine. For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bleats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your headaches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned. It takes those good, old CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely. But don't ask for liver pills.

Emergency Cattle Purchases Stopped According to Mr. W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor, word has been received from Washington that all emergency cattle purchases which have been carried on as a drought relief measure have stopped. It is expected that commitments which have been made prior to this order will be completed but no further applications will be taken. This does not apply to sheep purchases as that program has not yet gotten under way, but sheep owners wishing to dispose of sheep under this plan are requested to file their applications at the farm advisor's office immediately. DRUNK CASE DISMISSED Because insufficient evidence, the charge of drunk driving against George Pizzl was dismissed at the preliminary hearing in Judge Charles Kuchel's court Tuesday morning. Tonnage Sought In Cover Crops Farm Advisor Advocating Use of Fast-Growing Crop for Green Manure By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG Farm Advisor The good cover crop is not only a cheap source of organic matter, which is an important constituent of soil fertility, but its presence and growing processes have a vitalizing influence on the soil that is not generally obtained by the application of ordinary bulky organic materials. The penetration of cover crop roots and their eventual decomposition in the subsurface strata of the soil tends to introduce decaying organic matter at lower levels that can the one or two heavy rains experienced in this district. That means the loss of much fertility that has been built up on the farm at considerable cost to the grower. Almost any cover crop that will respond with the growth of a heavy tonage of vegetation will answer the purpose. If legume crops such as Melilotus indica or purple vetch produce satisfactory tillage they are to be preferred because of their higher nitrogen content. However, in recent years the non-legume mustards have gained considerable favor because of their rapid growth and heavier tonnage of green manure. What the non-legumes lack in nitrogen content may be easily made up by the application of commercial nitrogen. The important thing is to secure the maximum tonnage of organic matter whether it be from legumes or non-legumes. Malva, yellow mustard, and Tricate mustard are the leading non-legumes. The rates of seeding per acre in the orchard for the different crops are malva 10 pounds, mustard 8 pounds, melilotus 20 pounds, purple vetch 60 pounds. For those not familiar with the handling of these crops, detailed information may be secured from the farm advisor's office. GAFFERS & SATTLER New Gas Range with Electric Clock Control, $98.50.

Center at Palm Sts., Anaheim Farm Advisor The good cover crop is not only a cheap source of organic matter, which is an important constituent of soil fertility, but its presence and growing processes have a vitalizing influence on the soil that is not generally obtained by the application of ordinary bulky organic materials. The penetration of cover crop roots and their eventual decomposition in the subsurface strata of the soil tends to introduce decaying organic matter at lower levels that can be accomplished by the surface application of fmanures or other forms of organic fertilizers. The cover crop has a further benefit of reducing erosion or transporting of the most fertile and valuable portions of the soil during the winter storms. Heavy losses are suffered during every heavy rain where washing or erosion of the soil takes place, particularly on sloping ground. Last winter, for instance, thousands of tons of surface soil was moved during First Church of Christ, Scientist Anaheim, California Announces A Free Lecture on Christian Science By RICHARD J.
