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 NOVEMBER 8, 1884 As we go to press the result of the presidential contest is as much in doubt as it was a month ago. Both parties claim New York, the state which is necessary to the success of either candidate. The republican committee insist that it has given Blaine a plurality of 12,000, and the Democratic committee claim it by about the same figure for Cleveland. California is for Blaine by about 8,000, and republicans have probably elected the whole six congressmen. Los Angeles county elected the entire republican ticket. The proposition to issue $300,000 bonds for the purpose of building a court house is defeated so badly as to leave scarcely a reminiscence. The barn in which "the ring" has herded so many years is good enough for the new republican office-holders. The total vote polled in Anaheim was 294. Eighteen voters in this precinct, who were in the Great Register failed to vote. A. Bailey and J. B. Pierce were elected Justice of the Peace. R. Bohn and F. Smythe were elected constables. The large increase in the production of grapes this year, caused by the fact that hundreds of acres of new vineyards contributed their first crop, taxed the wineries beyond their capacity. They were unable to work up the grapes as fast as offered, and as a consequence growers grumbled and prated of overproduction. They did not stop to consider the true cause of the glut, that the wineries had not increased in proportion to the vineyards. The firm of B. Dreyfus & Company have for some years contemplated the building of an establishment on their vineyard adjoining the railroad track, and this season's developments have made them decide to build in accordance with the plans long since formed. The new winery will be of brick, and will contain every improved appliance and labor saving device which has been perfected to date.

The new winery will be of brick, and will contain every improved appliance and labor saving device which has been perfected to date. As to its capacity, we have the assurance of Mr. Dreyfus that he will guarantee to handle all the grapes which will be offered him. This means that the establishment will be on an immense scale, and will be at once a boom to grape growers and a monument of enterprise to the builders. Its location is determined by its proximity to the railroad as by a switch cars can be loaded from the warehouse doors. As early as yesterday morning the perfidious practice of offering votes for sale to the highest bidder could be seen upon the streets of the Angelic city. A large class of voting cattle stood all day around the corner of Market and North Spring streets, near the court house, begging candidates for any sum from 50 cents to $2.50. The scene was disgraceful and it is to the credit of many candidates that they avoided that crowd. The fellows have to look sharp or they will land in the penitentiary as a result of their illegal voting.—L. A. Times. That is a bad enough picture, truly, but is it a magnificent improvement over the good old days of the past. It would appear that the candidates had evolved to a higher moral plane than they occupied in the day we won of. Then the "cattle" who had votes were gathered from the slums and by-ways several days before the election, locked in a corral near the present center of the city, liberally supplied with aguardiente, music and women and on election day voted by squads as often as was necessary to carry the point aimed at. We are willing to believe that even now Los Angeles is a very wicked city, but compared with the days of old it is a New Jerusalem to a Gomorrah. Theo. Frohling was in town on Thursday. He is the son of Mr. Frohling, one of the Cleveland electors of this state but he is an ardent republican and cast his first vote for Blaine and Logan. But like a dutiful son he scratched one republican elector from his ticket and wrote in his father's name. Dr. Wm. Marquis, who purchased the Alward place some months ago has returned from Santa Barbara and is stopping with Mrs. Marquis at the home of his friend, F. H. Keith. He goes to San Francisco in a few days and on his return will take possession of his place and settle permanently among us. We bid him welcome. At the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, held last Saturday, C. M. Woodruff was re-elected secretary, D. C. Pixley, treasurer, re-elected, G. E. Foster, superintendent, re-elected, Henry Young, zanjero. An assessment of fifty cents per share was levied on the stock of the company.

Pixley, treasurer, re-elected, G. E. Foster, superintendent, re-elected, Henry Young, zanjero. An assessment of fifty cents per share was levied on the stock of the company. Tim Carroll advertises that he has for sale at his nursery west of the Anaheim railroad depot over three million blue gum and cypress trees, besides an unlimited quantity of all kinds of northern fruit trees and ornamental trees. The trees are all guaranteed true to name, and are thrifty and free from disease. Also, he will allow no responsible nurseryman in the county to undersell him. It is with regret that we chronicle the death of Arthur Heiman. His dissolution was not unlooked for as the disease under which he has been suffering was beyond hope of cure, but this does not lessen the sorrow which his death causes his many friends. The ball at the Placentia schoolhouse on Friday evening of last week was a marked success, despite the attraction of a torchlight parade in town. Enough money was realized to pay the balance of the indebtedness on the schoolhouse bell. The alarm of fire on Wednesday night was caused by the explosion of a coal oil lamp in the residence of Mr. Granet. The flames were extinguished before any serious damage resulted. A reward of $1000 is offered for the finding of T. W. Cover of Riverside, dead or alive. He was lost on the desert six weeks ago, and though diligent search has been made, no trace of him has yet been found. Jose Morillo died in Upper Santa Ana on Sunday after a long and painful illness. He leaves four motherless children, three girls and a boy, all young and dependent upon others. Another woman whom George Washington kissed has just died. That kiss is getting to be as fatal as the cholera. T. C. L. Kay has returned from his summer's sojourn in British Columbia and is staying at the Planter's hotel. St. John received seventeen votes in Downey. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only uses of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 4, 1909 City Clerk Merritt reports that building permits for the month of October have been issued aggregating $17,650. Permits for buildings amounting to not less than $8000 have also been granted, but the precise amount is not specified, owing to a probability of increasing the outlay before final specifications are adopted. These latter are for the Kroeger-Wisser brick building and a twostory addition to the building adjoining it on the west. Contractors have been granted permits for these improvements but the amounts have not yet been reported to the city hall. The Hallowe’en costume party given at Odd Fellow’s hall by the ladies Guild of the Epsicopal church was a social and financial success. The committee of arrangements were: Program, Mrs. Storm; refreshments, Mrs. Harbisen; decorations, Mrs. Dwyer; chairman of committee, Mrs. McKinley. A short program of music and readings was given after which refreshments of cider, chocolate and wafers were sold to an eager and thirsty crowd, followed by dancing in the banquet hall. The gentlemen’s prize for the best sustained character went to Welborn Wallop who acted the part of baby to perfection. The ladies’ prize went to Mrs. Juny, who as witch was quite terrifying. The most beautiful costume was that worn by Miss Elsa Rust who represented a chrysanthemum, with green velvet bodice forming the calyx, and a filmy yellow material as the other part of the flower. The board of directors of the Anaheim Union and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation companies met in joint session at the former’s office in this city on Thursday. Of the former there were present Messrs. Crowther, Hale, Bradford, Porter, Drake and Sherwood. Of the latter E. M. Nealley, Fred Rohrs, George Dierker, A. G. Finley and D. C. Drake. Attorneys Melrose and Keech were also U.S. Distributes 303,494 Pounds of Foods In County During the year from October, 1933 to and including September 30, 1934, federal surplus food products delivered to Orange county committees for distribution to persons on relief were as follows: Salt pork, 64,861 pounds; smoked pork, 69,835 pounds; apples, 6,500 pounds; beans, 6,480; butter, 24,330 pounds; canned beef, 26,496 pounds; cereal foods, 9,792 pounds; cheese, 4,000 pounds; flour, 84,476 pounds; hard, 6,720 pounds and eggs 16,500 dozen; a total of 303,494 pounds of foodstuffs, exclusive of eggs. In every instance, with the single exception of cheese of which San Francisco received 82,637 pounds as compared with 80,100 pounds. Los Angeles county received by far the largest appropriations from the federal larder. Two-thirds of the salt pork rations, more than one-half of the smoked pork and approximately half of all the other portions went to Los Angeles county, where most of the unemployed of the state reside, according to figures received this week from Acting SERA Administrator Vernon D. Northrop. County Agriculture Chiefs Meet Dec. 17 Plans are nearing completion for the program of the fall convention of the California Association of County Agricultural Commissioners, to be held at the Riverside Mission Inn, Monday, December 17, it was announced by A. E. Bottel, county agricultural commissioner of Riverside county. The board of directors of the Anaheim Union and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation companies met in joint session at the former's office in this city on Thursday. Of the former there were present Messrs. Crowther, Hale, Bradford, Porter, Drake and Sherwood. Of the latter E. M. Nealley, Fred Rohrs, George Dierker, A. G. Finley and D. C. Drake. Attorneys Melrose and Keech were also present. The meeting discussed the agreement recently made with the Riverside company which latter agreed to limit the amount of water taken from the Riverside basin and to carry on its future developments in the San Bernardino basin, several miles further up the river. Plans for proceeding against a number of smaller appropriators of water in Riverside county were also discussed. An alarm of fire was rung in at 6:30 on Sunday evening for a blaze in Mrs. Strodthoff’s residence on the corner of Lemon and Sycamore. The fire was caused by escaping gas in the cellar. Fred Backs was among the first to reach the residence with his chemical fire extinguisher and when the fire department arrived he had the fire extinguished. Damage nominal. At the regular meeting of Chispa Chapter No. 151, O. E. S., held Monday evening the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Mrs. Ella R. Wallop, worthy matron; Wm. T. Wallop, worthy patron; Miss E. Kate Rea, associate matron; Mrs. Mary L. Stough, secretary; Mrs. Margaret B. Rea, treasurer; Mrs. Genevieve Porter, conductress; Mrs. U. V. Simpson, associate conductress. The degrees were conferred upon one candidate and later refreshments of fruit punch and cake were served. Domingo Bastanchury put his big Elmore touring car in bad on Sunday night on West Broadway by running it at full speed against an electric lighting pole. Bastanchury and a party of friends were coming in from the West End and all were badly shaken up narrowly escaping serious injury. The auto was wrecked and had to be hauled in for repairs. Louie Miller having disposed of his hardware store to the Anaheim Investment company will in the near future retire from that business and give his entire attention to the gas company. Mr. Miller has been in the business here for nineteen years and during that time has earned an enviable reputation throughout the community. He will assume charge of the gas company giving his personal attention to the improvement of the plant and the betterment of the service. The sophomore class of the high school were entertained on Saturday evening by their teacher Miss Hayler. Various appropriate stunts were indulged in and first prizes were won by Helena Goodale, Aleida Heying, Henry Schwenckert and Walter Cadman, while the consolation prizes went to Adelaide Gates, Carrie Gildea, Adolph Schneider and August Wilke. J. O. Royer, this week, purchased 115 feet of land on East Center street at the corner of Emily, from L. Németz, paying County Agriculture Chiefs Meet Dec. 17 Plans are nearing completion for the program of the fall convention of the California Association of County Agricultural Commissioners, to be held at the Riverside Mission Inn, Monday, December 17, it was announced by A.

Harsh laxatives often drain the system, weaken the bowel muscles, and even affect the liver and kidneys. Fortunately, the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you needn’t take a "double dose" a day or two later. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin gently helps the average person’s bowels while nature is restoring their regularity. Why not try it? Some pill or tablet may be more convenient to carry. But there is little "convenience" in any cathartic which is taken so frequently, you must carry it with you, wherever you go! Its very taste tells you Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is wholesome. A delightful taste, and delightful action. Safe for expectant mothers, and children. At all druggists, ready for use, in big bottles. 30 Years Serv WILKIE’S RADIO CLAIMS AS TO HIS RECORD: “Actively engaged as law enforcer of U.

Various appropriate stunts were indulged in and first prizes were won by Helena Goodale, Aleida Heying, Henry Schwenckert and Walter Cadman, while the consolation prizes went to Adelaide Gates, Carrie Gildea, Adolph Schneider and August Wilke. J. O. Royer, this week, purchased 115 feet of land on East Center street at the corner of Emily, from L. Németz, paying $10,000 therefore. Twenty-five feet adjoining, belonging to J. Becker was also purchased. It is reported that Royer will erect a three-story building to be used as an hotel. A Los Angeles politician, well known locally, has left his wife and hiked out of the state because he says an error of his youth has appeared to haunt him as an evil spectre. Does this "error of his youth wear rings on her fingers, or is it only that time he voted the democratic ticket, back in Podunk? John Hahn, Lucien Wisser, John Bush, Mike Lopez, and Henry Westerman formed a hunting party in the Trabuca mountains last week. Thursday morning on the east peak of Saddleback they jumped up a bunch of four deer. Wisser was given the first shot, and he brought down a fine two spike buck. The deer were 200 yards distant. The other hunters shot at them but were unable to equal Wisser's marksmanship. Frank Baum having disposed of his North Los Angeles street residence will in the near future begin the erection of a commodious residence on the northwest corner of Los Angeles and Adele streets. Mr. and Mrs. Phil Krick, Miss Dora Zeyn and a bunch of Hallowe'en kids went on an auto ride to Santa Ana and neighboring points of interest on Sunday afternoon. Dr. Houck has purchased the Krug property on West Center street, at present occupied by L. K. Marshal. A new brick building will probably grace the site in the near future. Col. W. F. Botsford was in town from Los Angeles on Tuesday closing the deal whereby he recently disposed of the Katella orchard to Mr. O'Brien for $60,000. Theo. Ford was in town Tuesday from the river country south. He expects to go to the Phoenix Fair next week. WILKIE'S RADIO CLAIMS AS TO HIS RECORD: "Actively engaged as law enforcer of U.

"Bonds of the federal mortgage corporation at par and accrued interest," said the news note of October 2, "will henceforth be accepted by land banks under the farm credit administration from borrowers making payment of their interest installments on land bank and land bank commissioner's loans." This should have read that such bonds will be accepted "from borrowers in payments due on the principal of their loans." Payment of interest installments continues unaffected.
