IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of an Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 15, 1884 At a meeting of the Board of Town Trustees held on Nov. 7th, the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, That a sum not to exceed $600 be apportioned out of any money in the town treasury not otherwise appropriated for the purpose of constructing levees or suitable embankment on the west bank of the Santa Ana river at some suitable point on said river below the new channel of said river formed by the freshets of 1883 and 1884 for the purpose of protecting the town of Anaheim from future overflow of said river. Said money so appropriated to be expended under the supervision of the Committee on Public Improvements. Resolved, That the committee on public improvements be and they are hereby authorized and empowered to cause to be constructed at the expense of the City of Anaheim a sidewalk on the southerly side of Center street. The same to commence at the corner of Mrs. Yocum’s lot on Palm street and to extend to the lower corner of Weis’ lot opposite the lumber yard of Saxton & Cox Said sidewalk to be three feet wide and to be constructed of two-inch plank laid upon 3x4 red wood pieces placed a suitable distance apart. All bids offered for the construction of a tank for town waterworks were rejected. Henry Ward Beecher says he has finished with politics. His object in taking part in them was moral reform which is accomplished by the election of Cleveland. The report that Henry is to go as Minister to Turkey is denied. The Sultan will not have him as he thinks him a dangerous man. Apt alliteration’s artful aid did good work for the democratic cause. The clerical fool Burchard, who alluded to Blaine as the foe of the party of Rum, Romanism and Rebellion, probably did more to hurt the republicans than any other one man.

This is the time of year when general anxiety begins to be manifested regarding the probabilities of winter, but strange to say the cause of anxiety is not whether the winter will be a dry one but whether it will be a wet one. It is probably the first time in the history of Southern California that the possibility of a wet winter has been feared, but the experiences of last season were not so pleasant as to cause any very general desire for a repetition of so much dampness. The first rain of the season was on October 12th, when .16 of an inch fell, on Wednesday night there fell .65 of an inch. The latest dream in Paris is of a coupe and barouche that can be worked by electricity. The Paris correspondent of Truth has been informed by the man who made the telephone so successful in Berlin, and who is described as of French birth, Californian by early breeding and Parisian by scientific culture, that he was supported by the Rothschilds and several other millionaires in a scheme to construct an electric carriage which can be as easily managed as a sewing machine. We are pleased to announce that the resignation of William Schulte as trustee in Orangethorpe district, has been returned, and he is now reinstated as clerk of that Honorable Board at the earnest solicitation of patrons and a petition to superintendent Hinton who always appreciates, "the right man in the right place." It is said that the followers of Del Valle, incensed at his defeat, and assuming that the railroad corporation was responsible for his overthrow, made loud threats of burning the depot at Los Angeles. A large force of extra watchmen guarded the buildings during several nights the past week. Abbot Kinney the defeated candidate for assemblyman from this county, is in San Francisco and will shortly be united in marriage to Miss Thornton, daughter of Justice Thornton, of the Supreme Court of California. The City Council of Los Angeles has appointed an inspector of coal oil, whose duty it is to see that no dangerous fluid of that kind is sold. The numerous accidents in that city arising from the use of impure oil induced this appointment. The contractor for laying the 36-inch asphaltum concrete pipe in the water company's ditch is already preparing for the work. The pipe has to be completed by the first of February. John J. Weglein, manager of the New York branch of the firm of B. Dreyfus & Co., arrived on Wednesday accompanied by his prize was a harrier.

Maud S. made the best time on record at Lexington, Kentucky, on Tuesday. The time of the first quarter was 32¾; half mile 1.04; three-quarter pole 1:37; the mile 2:09¼. Her best previous record was 2:09¾. The San Bernardino Index says the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad company have established a fast freight line to the East with the object of placing California fruit and vegetables in the eastern markets fresher and at less cost than heretofore. No unripe fruit will be shipped. It will be packed in carbonized bran which will keep it fresh and prevent decay for a long time. Freight will reach New York in nine days. Fashionable Parisian ladies are this season wearing top coats of large plaids and checked goods trimmed with fur and hats that look very much like the helmets of the Horse Guards. Invitations have been issued for a social dance to be given at Kroeger's hall on the evening of Thanksgiving day. The committee of arrangements are: W. E. Bailey, A. L. Lewis, J. Schneider and R. Aguilar. A premium of $250 is offered by the New Orleans Exposition for the best display of citrus fruits to comprise at least sixty varieties.

These Files Contain the Only Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 11, 1909 The report of the Orange County statistician just filed shows that the value of Orange county products for the year 1908-9 was nearly $12,500,000 or a gain of nearly $2,000,000 more than the previous year.

Smith, custodian of the sacred ax stolen by California men from Stanford eight years ago, will come all the way from Mexico to name his successor and to see the big game with Cardinal, Nov. 13th. Fayette Lewis of Anaheim, captain of the baseball team this year will probably be Smith's successor. The ax rally was held Wednesday afternoon. The big varsity smoker rally was held two nights later. Kaufman Campaign Appeal to Voters On Strong Record Halts Gambling Ship Vice Off Coast, Gives Free Advice To Poor; Saves Money A review of the campaign for district attorney, now drawing to a close, reveals that S. B. Kaufman, incumbent has placed his candidacy before the voters on the basis of his record of accomplishment. His campaign has been unmarked by any glittering promises. Kaufman's pledge to the voters is that he will, if elected, continue to give the people of Orange county the same efficient, impartial administration which has characterized his office during his year and one half as district attorney. A study of his record shows that he stands at the top on the basis of felony convictions, having achieved a mark of 93 per cent convictions in 1933. Since January 1, 1934, he has made a record of 97 per cent convictions in drunk driving cases. He has saved the taxpayers $300,000 by successfully defending the county against civil lawsuits. Kaufman's supporters point out that he has vigorously prosecuted all crimes and that one of his outstanding accomplishments was putting out of business the most powerful gambling barons on this coast—the owners of the gambling ship Monte Carlo, which formerly operated off the Orange county coast. Kaufman has prosecuted all gambling cases vigorously, and there is now no public gambling in Orange county. Despite criticism, Kaufman has maintained that the poor have a right to legal advice and assistance from the district attorney's office without pay, and has proved that a large number of A Berkeley dispatch of recent date contains the following: Walt Z.

The superior court has declared the organization of the Delhi drainage district valid, and declared the $25,000 bonds of the district also to be valid. The district was organized for the purpose of putting in a system to drain 7000 acres in the Delhi, Pollorino and old Newport districts. Bonds were voted. In order to back up the bonds that there might be no question in the minds of bond buyers the action in judgment was entered and was brought by Attorneys Williams & Rutan for the district, of which A. T. Armstrong, Daniel Boyde and Jacob Mandercheid are directors. All persons interested in the bonds and the district were named as defendants. Judgment was given by Judge West and the bonds and the district both declared legal. Articles of incorporation were filed with County Clerk Williams Tuesday by the Orange Athletic club. The purpose of the club is to erect and maintain a building and grounds to be used for athletic purposes and for the playing of games. A large amount of money has already been subscribed and the club is now certain to prosper. The directors named for the first year are F. L. Ainsworth, George S. Harper, William O. Hart, F. Pratt and William T. Porter. The capital stock is 5000. Don David Yorba was in town from up the river on Saturday. Don David has lately returned from a three months camping trip as far south as Tia Juana. He reports an enjoyable outing, and his looks bear him out in the statement that the pasear acted as a stimulus to his usual robust health. He lived on quail and various other morsels of the fat of the land. Rudolf Fossek has applied for letters of administration on the estate of Ida Fossek, who died on March 14. She left a will whereby she provided that the rental of an eighty-acre farm in Benson, Minn., should be divided until her husband’s death, when the farm shall go to her children, Lizzie, Clemer, August and Peter Keller. H. J. Weisel is attorney for the petitioner. County Recorder Peters was in town on Saturday morning. He came over on the early train and returned on the overland as far as Orange, his purpose being to interview a passenger on his way east. Mr. Peters reports business brisk in his office and politics simmering around the court house. C. E. Holcomb has petitioned the superior court for letters of administration on the estate of John P. Zeyn, who died on October 7th. The estate consists of about $6000 life insurance, the lands and other property having been deeded to heirs before death of testator. The heirs are two daughters, Mrs. Holcomb and Miss Dora Zeyn, both of this city. E. F. Wahrle of Los Angeles is attorney for the plaintiff. plishments was putting out of business the most powerful gambling barons on this coast—the owners of the gambling ship Monte Carlo, which formerly operated off the Orange county coast. Kaufman has prosecuted all gambling cases vigorously, and there is now no public gambling in Orange county. Despite criticism, Kaufman has maintained that the poor have a right to legal advice and assistance from the district attorney’s office, without pay, and has proved that a large number of cases for which he was criticised have been county business or charity cases, and not private practice. Court records show that Kaufman has cooperated whole heartedly to prevent waste of water in Orange county. He has no entangling alliances to embarrass him in such prosecutions. Kaufman has declared himself in favor of local option, and has always stood for preservation of the institutions of the country and Orange county. If No. 2 Defeated State Board to Ask Control Transfer The state board of equalization will ask the legislature to transfer administration of the liquor control act to some other department or commission if proposition number two is defeated at the November election. Fred E. Stewart, member of the board, made this announcement following discussion of the situation with fellow board members. “Sale of liquor in California cannot be controlled under the terms of the present act and this board has determined to rid itself of the thankless task of attempting to enforce an utterly unworkable law,” Stewart declared. “This board has an enviable record of law administration extending over a period of 60 years. We have no intention of jeopardizing this record by further futile efforts to cope with a situation that is beyond remedy unless a new liquor law is approved by the people in November. “We believe proposition number two will enable us to control sale of liquor to the satisfaction of the great majority. It is inconceivable that the people of this state will permit present conditions to continue. “We are willing to continue handling the liquor situation if given the proper law. Otherwise we will ask the legislature to relieve us of this duty.” C. E. Holcomb has petitioned the superior court for letters of administration on the estate of John P. Zeyn, who died on October 7th. The estate consists of about $6000 life insurance, the lands and other property having been deeded to heirs before death of testator.

Herman Stock had a horse badly scarred although not seriously injured by falling through the roof of his barn on Clementina street. The animal was high spirited and leaped upon a manure pile, going thence upon the roof of the stable. It fell a distance of ten feet and was scarred upon the stomach by being scratched by projecting beams. Otherwise it escaped injury. Herman paid $225 for the horse a few days before and reckons it an atrocious piece of hard luck to have it scarred in this manner. Senator La Follette of Wisconsin speaks at Santa Ana on Friday evening. A delegation of admirers from this city will go over to hear him. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Henry returned last evening from Scotland, after an absence of nearly six months. For some weeks past they have been the guests of Mr. Henry's brother up-state. Ed Schneider has recovered from an illness which kept him at home for a couple of weeks and has resumed his position at the Palace Market.
