IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and O 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 18, 1884 If any doubt existed as to this being an exceptional year, the reprehensible conduct of the weather has assuredly removed it. One never knows what a day may bring forth in the way of climatic surprises. An eccentric summer is to be followed, apparently by a still more eccentric winter. The warm days of last week were followed by cloudy ones, which culminated in a sharp rain on Sunday, the gauge recording .19 of an inch. The rain was general throughout the state, and was more severe in the northern counties as is generally the case. A telegram says that in some of the northern counties the rain has done damage to the larger grain farms, there being still considerable harvesting to do. Grapes also will suffer. In this county, no damage was reported. The grapes escaped by reason of their immaturity, had they been as ripe as they ordinarily are at this time of the year it is possible that they would have suffered somewhat. The raisin makers of Orange, by taking timely precautions, prevented damage being done to their crop. As harvesting is over in the county, it may safely be said that the first rain of the season has not caught anybody napping. Does this early rain portend a wet or dry winter? This question affords a fruitful theme for discussion. Past experience indicate that rains in the early days of October presage a minimum rainfall in the following winter. The agricultural fair which has been in progress during the week in Los Angeles, was in number and quality of exhibits superior to any of previous years. The attendance has been large and the management seems to have been in excellent hands. Like all fairs, the feature which attracted the most attention was the races. The display of horses was large and showed many thoroughbreds from stables that have become celebrated throughout the east. The fair closes today with a satisfactory success.

The attendance has been large and the management seems to have been in excellent hands. Like all fairs, the feature which attracted the most attention was the races. The display of horses was large and showed many thoroughbreds from stables that have become celebrated throughout the east. The fair closes today with a satisfactory success. The Directors of the Water company and a committee of the Board of Town Trustees viewed the points on the river which require attention and agreed upon a plan of operations which will be put into effect without delay. The total expenditure required will probably not exceed $1000. The company can protect its ditch and build a required flume for $500, and the wing dams which the town authorities will be required to build will cost not to exceed that sum. Hardly a week passes without the arrival of one or more excursion parties from the east with Los Angeles as the destination of the larger part of the excursionists. This would seem to indicate that the tide of immigration has not in the least abated, but will, during the coming winter, pour a larger number of settlers into Southern California than ever before. H. L. Paty, road overseer of Anaheim Road District, desires to say publicly to the owners of what is known as the Fairview or Garden Grove ditch, that before it is used again it must be cleaned sufficiently to prevent the water from flowing into the public highway. He is always disposed to be as lenient as the interests of the public will permit, but there is a point beyond which he cannot go, and that point has been reached in the matter of the ditch referred to. It has cost the district a round sum of money to repair the roads which this ditch has damaged this year and the Overseer cannot permit any further damage to be done without holding the owners of the ditch responsible. Chas. W. Bell, who has been appointed collector of exhibits for the World's Exposition at New Orleans, writes the Gazette that he will be in this vicinity in a few days and requests us to ask the people to be on the lookout and put aside any choice specimens of fruit or vegetables that they may have. "We wish to make a good showing for our county and need the hearty cooperation of all interested in making a good exhibit of large, handsome bunches of grapes, fine samples of wine and brandy (which will be returned if wished) big pumpkins, etc. The tramps that have been scattered over Utah, Idaho, Montana and Nevada during the summer months now are working their way across the Sierra's into California for the winter. The new Episcopal church at San Pedro has just received a fine, new bell, weighing 400 pounds, from friends in San Francisco. It has the following inscription: "A Thanksgiving offering from the City Front Mission, San Francisco, to St. Peter's Mission, San Pedro, October, 1884."

Mr. Hanna received a telegram on Tuesday informing him of the death on the morning of that day of Mrs. Grier, at Montreal, Canada. She died suddenly of heart disease. Mrs. Grier formerly lived here with her family and the friends she then made will learn of her demise with regret. The Ladies of St. Michael's church will give a social on Wednesday evening, October 29 at the residence of C. E. Leonard. All are cordially invited. The placid atmosphere of Judge Bailey's court was ruffled on Monday by the presence of two pugilistic Spaniards, who indulged in a scrimmage, resulting in the arrest of Salvador Manrequez for assaulting Antonio Avelar. After hearing the testimony the case was dismissed. Miss J. F. Casey has removed her dressmaking parlors from Mrs. Metz building to Mr. Werder's building on Center street, adjacent to the Anaheim hotel and is prepared to do work at very low prices. Street costumes stylishly made for $5 upwards. Drs. Masser and Wilder, the dentists who made monthly visits to Anaheim have now their Los Angeles office in Parlor 13 of the Nadeau Block which is fitted up in superb style, and affords much more room than their former offices. The patronage requires the change. On Thursday afternoon of last week two men and a boy who were at work on the ranch of H. M. Mitchell at Verdugo were stunned by lightening. The boy was injured the most, and it will be some time before he fully recovers. A noisy tramp who for several days had been making himself obnoxious in the streets was locked up in jail yesterday morning until sufficiently sober to appreciate the awaiting sentence of the court. The Burruel Point flouring mill, which has been transformed from a stone to a roller mill will probably start up next week. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only ens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 14, 1909 Of the fifty original shareholders in the Los Angeles Vineyard Society who founded the Colony of Anaheim in 1857, only two remain, viz., Theodore Edward Schmidt and Mrs. Clementine Langenberger, both well-known and highly respected residents of this city. To Mr. Schmidt the honor of naming the colony is due. He selected the name "Anaheim", as meaning the home of "Anna," or of the river of the saint of that name, from whose life-giving waters the prosperity of the original colony enterprise was and continues to be due. "Anaberg" was another name suggested, meaning "Anna of the Mountains" but Mr. Schmidt objected to this because there were no mountains nearer the colony than the coast range fifty or more miles away. His choice was finally selected, and such has the name of the colony ever been. Ten or a dozen years ago a project was jumped up to change the name to some other title, but the good sense of the community was against the innovation and the matter was dropped. Mr. Zeyn, who passed away last week was one of the original shareholders, and C. F. Scholl, who died at his home in Alameda county last summer, was another. For years these four pioneers had been the four remaining pioneers, in the sense that only original shareholders were really pioneers in the colony. Now the number is reduced to two. Forty-eight have crossed the river. Mr. Schmidt will be 86 in December, Mrs. Langenberger is years his junior, and each is in the enjoyment of good health, giving every evidence of long continuing in the enjoyment of happiness and prosperity. John P. Zeyn breathed his last at the family home on North Los Angeles street on Thursday evening, October 7th. He was 78 years old and for a year or more past had been in ill health. He was one of the three remaining shareholders out of the original fifty who in 1857 organized in San Francisco the Los Angeles Vineyard Society, which purchased 1100 acres of land which is THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON How far any statements from any source can go toward reassuring business remains to be seen. There is a strong belief, shared by many of the more conservative members of the administration, that Washington does not yet realize how deep and widespread the demand really is for radical changes in the program. Leaving political and partisan angles out of consideration,—for most of the serious criticism is not partisan in its origin but comes from sources all over the country which are suffering economic distress because of what they believe are impractical theories.—there is little or no personal criticism of the President. On the contrary a hope amounting almost to belief is that when he fully understands the situation he will use his powerful leadership to set matters right. Industry and Agriculture There was nothing political in the secret meeting at Hot Springs, Va., of 150 of the nation's foremost industrials a week or so ago at which the whole New Deal was discussed and a constructive program of amendments to the present setup was agreed upon. How much influence that may have nobody, of course, can predict. But with business in general getting no better, and with prices rising and wages being forced up while profits disappear and reserves are vanishing, it is not at all surprising that many of the big industrials take an extremely gloomy view of the situation. Reports of disaffection among the farmers in many regions over the AAA program are coming into Washington in increasing volume. There is probably more concern in high administration quarters over that than over the the number is reduced to two. Forty-eight have crossed the river. Mr. Schmidt will be 86 in December, Mrs. Langenberger is years his junior, and each is in the enjoyment of good health, giving every evidence of long continuing in the enjoyment of happiness and prosperity. John P. Zeyn breathed his last at the family home on North Los Angeles street on Thursday evening, October 7th. He was 78 years old and for a year or more past had been in ill health. He was one of the three remaining shareholders out of the original fifty who in 1857 organized in San Francisco the Los Angeles Vineyard Society, which purchased 1100 acres of land which is now the greater portion of the city of Anaheim. He came to Anaheim in 1860. He was among the first of the Pioneers to come to this city. Deceased was a native of Germany. He came to San Francisco direct from Hamburg in 1849, sailing around the Horn, the trip consuming eight months. He was married in San Francisco to Miss Sophia Menke, who died in Anaheim in 1870. Of the six children, two survive, they are Mrs. C. E. Holcomb and Miss Dora Zeyn. Funeral services occurred on Sunday afternoon when a large concourse of friends gathered at the home to pay their last tribute of respect to the dead. Burial services were under auspices of the Odd Fellows Lodge. A choir consisting of Mrs. Corneille, Mrs. Dyer, George Ross and Frank Jayne sang hymns softly. Honorary pall-bearers were Wm. Konig, H. Kroeger, Theo. Rimpau, F. H. Dyer, F. Ruhman and Major Upham. The pall-bearers were H. A. Dickel, Frank Eastman, Jerry Howard, Frank Machlieb, O. T. Cailor and Henry Westerman. Remains were interred in the family lot in Anaheim cemetery. Delos Morton, for 34 years a resident of this section died at his home at Magnolia on Friday. Mr. Morton came here from Pennsylvania with his wife in 1875. He is survived by his widow and one son Herbert, who left here in the 80's and when last heard from was in South America. Mr. Morton had an honorable war record. He was a member of Company B. 41st Ohio Infantry and participated at the fights at Shiloh, Stone River, Chicamauga, Missionary Ridge and was one hundred days under fire in the Atlanta campaign. Rev. Mitchell conducted funeral services at the Presbyterian church on Monday morning and the body was laid to rest in Anaheim cemetery. Pall-bearers were T. S. Grimshaw, J. W. Duckworthy, Richard Melrose, A. E. Sparks, O. Renner and A. Spencer. Mrs. Sarah Landell, widow of the late Judge J. W. Landell, died on Tuesday at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Margaret Hughes, at St. James Park, Los Angeles. She was in her sixty-second year. The body will be brought to Anaheim for interment and will arrive at the Santa Fe depot at 11:44 on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Landell was a pioneer resident of Centralia, where she lived with her family for many years. She is survived by five grown children. Walter Robinson was in town from Trabuca on Saturday and was lost for a time in the great city, until he got his bearings by sighting Saddleback. Walter was forest ranger in the Santiago mountains for ten years and his efficiency was demonstrated in the fact that not a single fire occurred in his range during that time. Walter came to this country so long ago that the time of his advent is lost in prehistoric times, but he is the same good fellow he was before the flood. Reports of disaffection among the farmers in many regions over the AAA program are coming into Washington in increasing volume. There is probably more concern in high administration quarters over that than over the plains of the industrialists. The fact that Under-secretary Tugwell has gone to Europe on an "inspection trip" of two months or more is taken in informed circles here to signify that he is on his way out, and that his theories will no longer control the AAA. Learn From Experience It must be set down as a fact that the administration as a whole learns from experience. Mr. Roosevelt has been the first to admit that some of his experiments haven't worked out, just as he was frank enough to announce at their inception that they were purely experiments. So there is ground for the belief that the reorganization of the NRA and the easing up of its more onerous burdens upon industry which has been discussed freely for some time will actually take place. It will take time to unscramble the eggs, but this administration is nothing if not optimistic; and business men in touch with matters are becoming more hopeful that free competition, which has always been regarded as the "life of trade," will come back, although on, perhaps, a higher ethical scale. Also, with reservations permitting "cartels" or similar combinations in industries in which competition is not based upon variations in the product. Needed Banking Reforms One great reform which seems to be on the way will involve fundamental changes in the banking system as a whole. It is no new discovery that the banking system in the United States is the worst in the world; economists and bankers having been saying that for 40 years. The recent conference of government financial departments and bank examiners has resulted in placing the principal responsibility for bank examinations with the federal deposit insurance corporation, and instructions to examiners not to order loans thrown out where the interest has been promptly paid, even though there has been no reduction of the principal. This and other changes are expected to im- Mrs. Landell was a pioneer resident of Centralia, where she lived with her family for many years. She is survived by five grown children.

The Four-Four progressive Whist club met with Mr. and Mrs. Hatzfeld Wednesday evening of last week, the meeting being the first one since the return of this popular couple from their eastern trip. The lady's prize, a set of Japanese finger bowls, was awarded Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth, the gentleman's prize, being two elegantly bound books, went to Henry Adams. The club will have its next meeting at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Welborn Wallop. Harry Pearson has resigned his position with the Griffith Lumber company and has been succeeded by E. Bowers of Santa Ana. Harry is secretary and treasurer of the Anaheim Truck & Transfer company and will devote his time to looking after the affairs of that company. Will Wallop has taken a position as bookkeeper at Dickel's, succeeding Harry Armstrong who has held down the job for some years past. Harry will enjoy a well earned rest. H. H. Hale, G. W. Sherwood and Attorney Melrose were at Riverside some days ago in company of Santa Ana irrigators, to purchase lands up the river for water spreading purposes. Rev. Joseph Dubble arrived on Monday from Denver on a visit to his parents. On Tuesday morning he preached at St. Boniface Catholic church to a large congregation at Discovery day exercises. Chilly Fischer promises an attraction in baseball for Saturday. He is endeavoring to make a date with the Boston Bloomer girls who are touring the coast, last heard of in San Bernardino. Play ball. Kurt Epstein is in San Gabriel mountains hunting deer, catching fish and having a good time. The recent conference of government financial departments and bank examiners has resulted in placing the principal responsibility for bank examinations with the federal deposit insurance corporation, and instructions to examiners not to order loans thrown out where the interest has been promptly paid, even though there has been no reduction of the principal. This and other changes are expected to improve the bank credit situation, though probably not as much as the government desires. A tightening of federal control over all bank credits seems inevitable, and plans which are shaping for a central bank to issue to supplant the federal reserve and exercise many of the functions of the RFC and the comptroller of the currency may provide the means for backing up the "managed currency" program of the administration. The Labor Situation Look for much more serious and impartial consideration of the labor situation this fall and winter. It is too soon to predict what the attitude of the next congress will be in this or any other question, but in the administration the feeling is growing that the free hand granted to organized labor has not proved entirely a success. Much study is being given to the way in which England and Australia have handled the labor question, which has been a matter of government concern in those countries for many years. The principle of making labor organizations as responsible as employing corporations, by requiring them to incorporate and so become subject to the same sort of governmental regulation as industry is under, is being given a good deal of attention. There seems to be a strong probability, in any event, that federal laws defining "justifiable" and "unjustifiable" strikes, the right of picketing, prohibition of intimidation punishment for lawlessness will at least be proposed.
