IN THE DAYS OF I Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 4th, 1884 The Board of Town Trustees met on Thursday evening at 7:30, there having been no quorum at the regular meeting hour. It was resolved to postpone opening the bids to furnish a tank until next Monday evening at 7:30, at which hour the Board will hold a meeting. The propriety of purchasing an iron instead of a wooden tank is under consideration. The Board resolved to visit Santa Ana river tomorrow (Sunday) morning at 9 o'clock for the purpose of discussing what measures are necessary to confine the stream to its channel and prevent it from overflowing as it did last year. The Board recognizes the fact that unless some remedial measures are taken the breach made in the river bank last winter will widen and precipitate a dangerous amount of water towards the town, and after ascertaining what is necessary to be done to prevent this disaster they propose to call a meeting of the citizens to take some action. The Board invites all who are interested to go with them tomorrow morning and view the point of danger. Amendments to the license ordinance were adopted. Theatrical companies pay $3 for each performance, circus $25, peddlers of vegetables $3 per quarter, all other peddlers who use a wagon, (except peddlers of fish) $15 per quarter, if no wagon is used $12 per quarter. The marshal was instructed to have the streets strawed whenever necessary. Last Saturday was a good day for the news-gatherers of Los Angeles. A man named Jackson was run over and killed by a horse-car, the house of Mike Collins was burglarized of $800 in money and $700 in jewelry, a set of diamonds was stolen from Dr. Lathrop's office, Vincente Enriquez, aged 16 years while playing on the cars at the railroad depot, had his foot crushed so badly that it had to be amputated, an Italian lost a toe in the same way at the same time. Juan Gate died suddenly of rheumatism. The marshal was instructed to have the streets strawed whenever necessary. Last Saturday was a good day for the news-gatherers of Los Angeles.

Verily, it was a beautiful day. The Democratic convention met in Los Angeles on Wednesday. J. de Barth Shorb was chosen temporary chairman and W. A. Patterson secretary. The platform endorses Cleveland-Hendricks, and the national platform of the party, pledges the candidates for the assembly to support anti-monopoly legislation and defends R. F. Del Valle, candidate for congressman from the attack made upon him in the Republican platform. W. F. Heathman was nominated for the assembly from the 78th district. Jacob Ross of Santa Ana for supervisor, Theodore Staley of Anaheim, J. E. Pleasants of Silverado, J. Y. Anderson of Westminster, D. Yorba of Yorba, Geo. C. Hagar of Orange, L. Utt of Tustin and W. H. Spurgeon were named on the Ciunty Central committee. The Democratic primary on Saturday afforded an opportunity for some lively work for the friends of aspiring statesmen. Teams were employed in bringing faithful voters to the polls and nearly the entire democratic vote of the precinct was brought out. The patriotic efforts of the workers proved "much ado about nothing," for they were all badly left in the convention. In the language of the wild west, Anaheim didn't get a "smell" at either convention. The delegates elected were: Dr. J. S. Gardiner, S. A. Dennis, Theo Staley, D. W. C, Cowan, H. Kroeger, T. L. Gannon, D. W. Hudson. W. J. Brodrick, Geo. H. Kimbell and Fred Eaton inspected the brea deposits of Brea Canyon on Sunday, the two first named gentlemen being owners of much land in that vicinity. Mr. Eaton is going East to get information concerning the manufacture of pipe into the composition of which brea largely enters, and it is possible that the manufacture of this pipe may yet become an industry of Anaheim. As a matter of interest, and to answer many inquiries we have been informed by the secretary of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company that there are 710 stockholders in the company, holding 14,030 shares. The company also holds about 12,000 shares. A share of stock is valued at $12.50. The alarm of fire at about 8 o'clock on Tuesday evening was occasioned by a fire in the rear of Granet's saloon. It was extinguished before any great damage was done, and Mrs. Metz desires to thank those whose energetic work saved her property from destruction. The origin of the fire is not definitely known. L.

It was extinguished before any great damage was done, and Mrs. Metz desires to thank those whose energetic work saved her property from destruction. The origin of the fire is not definitely known. Anos Mead and C. C. Holmes, two of Pasadena's most respected citizens, quarreled over a hedge dividing their lands and the first named respected citizen got a pistol and blazed away at the other respected citizen, but not hitting him. Mead is under bonds to answer to a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The temperature for the month of September, 1883, was higher by several degrees than any other of the same month within the last ten years—owing partly to large fires in the mountains at this time last year—the difference in the highest points reached an average of fifteen degrees. Specimens of sorgum cane from which F. A. Gates & Co. are manufacturing syrup are in exhibition at the office of Hanna & Keith. The cane is rich with a pleasant sweetness that is drawn out to the length of thirteen feet. Dr. A. R. Pennington and wife late of Nevada City have settled in Anaheim and the Doctor will practice his profession as dentist. We bid them welcome and feel assured that the prime reason for their coming here—the restoration of the Doctor's health, will be realized. Hon H. V. Morehouse will deliver a political address in Anaheim on next Friday evening. He is said to be an effective speaker and it is to be hoped that a large audience will gather to hear what he has to say. The reports of the cholera epidemic in Italy for the last twenty-four hours show a total of 421 fresh cases and 229 deaths, including 122 cases and 51 deaths in Naples and 66 cases and 67 deaths in Genoa. The Downey fair will be held on next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the 6th, 7th and 8th. The enterprise of the people in getting up this fair; deserves recognition and encouragement. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 7, 1909 Expenses of the State of California for the first three months of the fiscal year, beginning July 1st are nearly a million dollars more than twelve months ago. For the month of September just closed, State Comptroller Nye issued warrants amounting to $1,191,760.70 consisting of $469,491.73 for the general fund and $695,268.97 from other funds. The total to date shows expenditures of $4,592,934.31 for the first three months of the present fiscal year as compared with $3,629,201.09 for the first three months a year ago. This makes a gain of $963,733.22 in expenses for the state over the same period in 1908. A fight is on between the lima bean growers and the buyers and the war is fiercer than ever. The representatives of the bean growers of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Ventura and Orange counties decided Saturday that they would hold for a good price and would force the buyers in the east to take their beans by pooling. The pool is now being formed. The buyers on the other hand are desperately hammering the market down by offering beans in the east at $3.50. The farmers have learned that the buyers have but few beans and that when they sell at the above price the beans will have to be bought from them. The buyers game they think is to break down the Lima Bean Growers association. L. Nemetz has a cure for rheumatism, which he declares has cured him of the malady after suffering for two years. It consists of carrying a potato in one hip pocket and an onion in the other. Once a week the vegetables are immersed in vinegar to rejuvenate the voltage. Mr. Nemetz will be 75 years old in December, and his remedy is making him younger every day. Some years ago while painting a fence he was caught in a rain and rheumatism developed in both knees to such an extent that THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON The financial education of the administration appears to be progressing nicely. Chairman Jesse Jones of the reconstruction finance corporation, after "bawling out" bankers on numerous occasions for not lending more freely, has admitted publicly that the main reason for restricted credits is "the lack of demand for good loans," and that this is due to "uncertainty on the part of both bankers and industrialists that markets could be found for the manufactured products to finance which the loans were intended to be made." Mr. Jones spoke feelingly, after trying to lend $300,000,000 to industry under the authority granted at the last session of congress to the RFC, and finding himself unable to put more than $10,000,000 out in good credits. And while Mr. Jones did not say so to the public, he expressed himself vigorously to the secretary of the treasurer about the policy of the comptroller's office of forcing the banks to "bear down" on business men who are trying to carry on and who have always been regarded as entitled to reasonable bank credits. Expect Loosened Credits The upshot of this situation was the calling to Washington of the chief bank examiners from all over the country, for a conference in which the federal reserve board, the reconstruction finance corporation an dthe federal deposit insurance corporation took part with the treasury. The outcome is expected to be a general loosening up of the restrictions which have been placed on bank credits by the comptroller's office. That office has jurisdiction over only national banks, but state banks usually have to follow the practices of L. Nemetz has a cure for rheumatism, which he declares has cured him of the malady after suffering for two years. It consists of carrying a potato in one hip pocket and an onion in the other. Once a week the vegetables are immersed in vinegar to rejuvenate the voltage. Mr. Nemetz will be 75 years old in December, and his remedy is making him younger every day. Some years ago while painting a fence he was caught in a rain and rheumatism developed in both knees to such an extent that he could hardly walk. Last winter he learned of the potato-onion cure and this week announces himself cured. Mayor Rust is trying the remedy. Being a larger man physically than Nemetz he is carrying larger sized vegetables and is well on the way to recovery. J. P. Zeyn has been seriously ill at his home on North Los Angeles street, suffering with extreme nervousness and a complication of ills. Dr. Johnston is in charge of the case and a trained nurse is in constant attendance. Mr. Zeyn is one of the four remaining Pioneers of this city out of the original fifty. For a year or more past he has been in ill health until at the present time anxiety is felt for his recovery. A large delegation of fruit growers were before the Board of Supervisors yesterday in the interests of the appointment of E. W. Camfield of Orange as horticultural commissioner under the new law. Camfield had 488 fruit growers on his petition. There is a rumor that J. W. Morrison, chairman of the republican central committee is a candidate for the appointment. The job pays $6 per day. If appointed, Morrison will resign as a deputy fish commissioner, which job pays $100 per month. The monthly report of the Horticultural commission mentions the fact that by resolution the commission resolved to ask the supervisors to postpone indefinitely passage of the proposed ordinance requiring fumigators to take out a license. Bob Mills and Albert Vail went up the river on Sunday for quail. They bagged the limit. A coyote was also slain, the varmint was wounded and trailed for three miles before finally despatched. Bob is going to preserve the hide and use it for frontroom decoration. The Chino beet sugar factory to which beets have been shipped from this county, will not close until about Nov 1st. The factory consumes 800 tons of beets a day and turns out 26,000 pounds of sugar in the same time. Wm. Crowther celebrated his seventy-second birthday at his Placentia home on Monday. A birthday dinner was a feature of the day. A number of friends were present to wish him many happy returns of the day. Louie Kroeger opened the season on Friday by bagging three ducks at the Bolsa marshes. His brothers, William and Henry, fared better, the former getting 13 and the latter 7. Otto Hussman bagged 13 and Gus Strodthoff 9. Birds were not plantiful calling to Washington of the chief bank examiners from all over the country, for a conference in which the federal reserve board, the reconstruction finance corporation an dthe federal deposit insurance corporation took part with the treasury. The outcome is expected to be a general loosening up of the restrictions which have been placed on bank credits by the compiroller's office. That office has jurisdiction over only national banks, but state banks usually have to follow the practices of the national banks in their localities. Secretary Morgenthau is taking an active hand in trying to bring about more effective cooperation among the various fiscal agencies and bureaus of the government. There is reason, therefore; to expect that bank credit will be easier for sound business men. Trying to Satisfy Business Friends of the administration are beginning to be troubled about what appears to be a growing hostility on the part of business men and industrialists. The first inclination when reports of dissatisfaction began to pour in was to pooh-pooh them as emanating from political sources. Now Washington is becoming convinced that the business leaders are serious, and is trying to figure out what it can do to satisfy them. The stumbling-block seems to be the president himself, who is reported by those extremely close to him as being unable to understand why business needs any more reassurance. Conservative members of the administration are now saying rather openly that if business men had been assured some months ago that there would be no further changes in the rules under which they are supposed to do business, they would have begun to expand their activities and by now real recovery would have been under way. But instead of such assurance they have had to face such things as the president's direct order to the cotton clothing industry to cut down hours and increase wages, regardless of profits; the more or less open disagreement between the president and General Johnson on price-fixing under the codes—the president opposing and the general standing firm on the original plan—and the growing feeling that monetary inflation is in the offing. Inflation Outlook That inflation will be unavoidable if the program of increased government borrowings for the purpose of "priming the pump" of business continues is the considered opinion of many of the soundest economists who are in touch with the situation. The last government loan did not go so well, and Uncle Wm. Crowther celebrated his seventy-second birthday at his Placentia home on Monday. A birthday dinner was a feature of the day. A number of friends were present to wish him many happy returns of the day. Louie Kroeger opened the season on Friday by bagging three ducks at the Bolaa marshes. His brothers, William and Henry, fared better, the former getting 13 and the latter 7. Otto Hussman bagged 13 and Gus Strodthoff 9. Birds were not plentiful being at sea, having fed by moonlight the night before. In the dark of the moon the boys promise to get limit bags. First showers of the season fell on Saturday morning. While the precipitation in the northern part of the state was heavy in places, the rain here was not of sufficient volume to injure outstanding crops. Bob Johnston, who has for some years past filled a position at Miller's hardware store has resigned and thinks of devoting his talents in future to the realty business. The steam roller is at work on East Center street, having begun operations on Monday at Atchison street. Two blocks have been paved and the work progresses westward steadily. J. Zeigler of the Commercial hotel is making extensive additions to that hostelry. Four new rooms are being added and the hotel otherwise improved. The engagement is announced of Miss Mattie Yorba of Peralta and Lawrence Pelanconi, a wealthy young man of Los Angeles. The wedding will take place next month. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wagner were in town yesterday from their ranch on the East side. Mr. Wagner is erecting a new residence and barn on his place. Travel section of the Ebell will meet with Mrs. Rose on Saturday, October 9, at 2:30 p.m. Roll call to be answered with facts concerning India. Bert Simpson returned some days ago from Montana after an absence of six weeks. He was accompanied by his mother, who will spend the winter here. Inflation Outlook That inflation will be unavoidable if the program of increased government borrowings for the purpose of "priming the pump" of business continues is the considered opinion of many of the soundest economists who are in touch with the situation. The last government loan did not go so well, and Uncle Sam had to take up part of the issue himself. To spend more billions there will have to be more billions borrowed. If the investing public will not buy the new bonds at par or better, the government's only recourse will be to put pressure on the federal reserve and its member banks to take up the new loans. Such a forced expansion of credit is held to be a long step toward inflation. The government spendings for its various relief programs for the past three months have been somewhat less than $200,000,000 a month. The certainty that the demands for relief this coming Winter will be heavier than ever points to a very great increase in such spendings from now until next Spring. The latest scheme of "making work" which is seriously discussed here is the project for a great "circular highway," concrete, forty feet wide, which would run from coast to coast and back, taking in all the great national parks, touch Washington, New York, New England and some 30 states in all. The estimated cost of this highway is $700,000,000, though it probably would run well over a billion before it was finished. Liquidating Highways The interesting point about this scheme, however, is the plan to put it into the class of "self-liquidating" public works, by making it a toll road, over which motorists would have to pay, say, 40 cents for each 100 miles of travel. This, it is estimated, would WEEK IN INGTON Education of the addies to be progressing Jesse Jones of the race corporation, affankers on numernot lending more and publicly that the restricted credits is used for good loans," he to "uncertainty on bankers and industants could, be found ed products to finnals were intended to feelingly, after trygous grant at the last to the RFC, and able to put more in good credits.

Action was taken by the R. F. C. board of directors in Washington authorizing the purchase by that federal body of $15,000,000 in metropolitan water district bonds during the present fiscal year, in addition to the $40,000,-000 in aqueduct bonds which the R.F.C. previously has agreed to buy. The additional $15,000,000 together with the funds already available, will be sufficient to finance all aqueduct construction expenditures during the present fiscal year, according to General Manager Frank E. Weymouth of the water district. Officials of the metropolitan water district stated that the action of the R.F.C. in agreeing to purchase $15,-000,000 of additional district bonds is in line with the negotiations and verbal agreements reached between the federal officials and district representatives several weeks ago. They stated that the action of the R. F. C. assures the pushing forward of aqueduct work now in progress and the immediate expansion of this construction program. 107,496 Motorists Arrive In August California Department of Agriculture statistics show that a total of 107,496 motor vacationists from other states arrived in California last month.

Toll roads are one of the oldest and most certain means of getting the money back on public improvements. Many of the nation's great bridges are toll bridges, as are the vehicular tunnels under the Hudson River at New York. This project would employ a quarter of a million men for several years at $5 a day, and it is looked upon favorably in many quarters. Its particular merit is that it would not, in the long run, be an added burden on taxpayers. Who’s Afraid of the Lonely Road?
