IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 22, 1884 Cleveland is elected. The Republican National committee gave up the fight on last Saturday and confessed judgment against them in New York State by about 1200 votes. All hail, President Cleveland. Now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, to use an original phrase, it is well to look upon the bright side of matters political. Since the contest has been decided, Cleveland has received more decided endorsements from Republicans than they dared to give him previously. The latest utterance of that kind from a conspicuous man is that of Dorman B. Eaton, the head of civil service reform. He said: "Gov. Cleveland and the statesmen of his party would oppose any attempt to repeal the civil service act. The President will lead the reform element of his party, and his clear convictions, his high sense of duty, his courage and his strength of character will secure the victory. There is no public man in this country who has a higher sense of the moral obligations of official life or who is more certain to withstand mere partisan and selfish appeals than Governor Cleveland. The orange growers of Riverside met in council last week to deliberate upon the best method of disposing of the coming orange crop. There will be a large crop of foreign oranges this year as well as a big home supply, and the problem to be solved, was how to prevent flooding the market and reducing the price. The result of this discussion was the appointment of a committee of nine to open correspondence with various commission houses and to submit to a subsequent meeting a plan of action. At a meeting of the bee-keepers of Los Angeles county held in Los Angeles on Saturday last, measures were adopted to secure a creditable exhibit of California honey at the New Orleans exposition under the charge of J. E. Pleasants, who was selected to represent the apiarists of Southern California. A committee was appointed to solicit contributions for the purpose of defraving the At a meeting of the bee-keepers of Los Angeles county held in Los Angeles on Saturday last, measures were adopted to secure a creditable exhibit of California honey at the New Orleans exposition under the charge of J. E. Pleasants, who was selected to represent the apiarists of Southern California. A committee was appointed to solicit contributions for the purpose of defraying the necessary expenses of the exhibit. The path of the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad company seems not strewn with roses. After various vicissitudes it now encounters the serious obstacle of financial difficulties. A meeting of creditors was held the other day, when a committee was appointed, authorized to take legal steps to collect money due contractors and laborers. We learn that the pork-packing establishment of Robert Eccles at Westminster is now at the height of business and that the output of the establishment will be greater than ever. From a small beginning Mr. Eccles has worked up a business which is a tribute to his enterprise and sagacity. Dr. Chapin, state inspector of fruit pests, will be in Anaheim in a few days on a tour of inspection of all fruit-growing sections of the county. Dr. Chapin says the white scale, or cottony-cushion scale, is gaining a foothold in the orange groves of the county and if measures are not speedily taken to extirpate it will result in destruction of the citrus industry and also of the English walnut trees, winter Nellis pear and figs. In the city of Los Angeles in one of the oldest and largest orange groves, known the world over, Dr. Chapin counted upward of a dozen infested trees in four rows and in a limited space. This orchard of 2500 of large and immensely profitable trees will in a few years become utterly destroyed if this scale is not conquered. I do not wish to alarm unnecessarily, he says, but it is my duty to sound this warning. Let this pest be speedily destroyed by united action. Late reports of the raisin crop in European countries indicate its failure to such an extent as to advance the price of California raisins during the past week in New York City, one dollar per box. Dealers who have been paying in this vicinity three and one-half cents per pound for raisins in the sweat boxes, are now offering six cents per pound. Ernest Parker, who has been killing game for the Los Angeles market, bagged 45 dozen quail in six days at a profit to himself of $5 a day and the cost of his ammunition. This is evidence that there is plenty of game to be had in this country if you know where to go to look for it. It is said that a colony of Dunkers have bought 2,000 acres of land somewhere in this county and will shortly settle upon it. It is a question of whether we should get enthusiastic over the accession of these peculiar people to the population of the county. P. T. Barnum, the irrepressible, a few weeks before the election Ernest Parker, who has been killing game for the Los Angeles market, bagged 45 dozen quail in six days at a profit to himself of $5 a day and the cost of his ammunition.

It is a question of whether we should get enthusiastic over the accession of these peculiar people to the population of the county. P. T. Barnum, the irrepressible, a few weeks before the election declared that if Cleveland should be elected he would sell his property 25 per cent less than its assessed value. The great showman and advertiser now publishes a card announcing his readiness to keep his word. Cholera, unabated, still rages in Paris and Westward slowly wends its way. Next summer, the savants say it will reach the Western hemisphere. Mrs. F. H. Adams, who has been visiting with J. E. Pleasants, in Santiago canyon, spent a day and night in Anaheim this week. Mrs. Adams is a correspondent of the Cleveland Leader and other Eastern papers and expressed herself delighted with this portion of Southern California. Mrs. Cushing and daughter from Trinidad, Colorado, are the guests of F. H. Keith and will undoubtedly locate permanently in Anaheim. A party thoroughly equipped to battle with the sand and drouth of the desert, left Riverside last week to make a final search for the remains of Cover who was lost while prospecting for the traditional "Peg-Leg mine," A change has been made in the sailing of the Santa Rosa since the schedule was printed on the fourth page. She leaves San Francisco on the 21st, arrives at San Pedro on the 23rd, leaves San Pedro on the 25th and arrives at San Francisco on the 27th. Mr. A. L. Pellegrin, the photographer, will be away viewing on next Tuesday and Wednesday, but after those days will be found at all times at his gallery in the Postoffice block, Anaheim. A barn owned by J. E. McComas at Pomona was destroyed by fire on Wednesday, together with two horses, carriage and feed. The loss was three thousand dollars. There was no insurance. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Records of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 18, 1909 Local merchants bucked the hitching post line at the trustees meeting on Thursday evening and scored a touchdown. It was their third appearance before the city fathers and on the two previous occasions they came off second best. The third time proved to be the charm and the objectionable ordinance which had been passed to print was withdrawn and pigeon-holed. Another ordinance will be introduced governing the standing of rigs in public streets and hitching posts will be in evidence at regular intervals of twenty-five feet. The merchants were represented by a dozen or more of the unreconciled, and they had fire in their eye. The long line of teams hitched to posts on the principal streets before the days of paving were contrasted with the present state of affairs when no teams were hitched east of Lemon street. Trustee Fiscus was moved to tears and asked for a thirty days respite, but the merchants were obdurate and the trustees came off the perch. There were present Mayor Rust and Trustees Fiscus, Kroeger, Gates and Stock. The contention of the board has been that in order to keep the streets clean, and to protect the pavements, horses should not be hitched on paved streets. It has provided a hitching rack on Chartres street, but the merchants maintain that thefts have been so numerous from rigs hitched there that their customers are shy of it and will have none of it. They wanted the hitching posts back and the Lemon street monopoly abrogated. The long-drawn-out controversy was terminated when on motion of Trustee Gates, merchants were permitted to install hitching posts of uniform size at regular intervals on paved streets. These hitching posts will be installed at expense of the merchants and the city will not be put to the expense of restoring them. President Mills of the chamber of commerce said yesterday that the effort made by that body to have a packinghouse for the shipment of tomatoes from this point established here is nearing Trojans Revamp Grid Lineup For California Game Not Till Team Trots Out On Field Saturday Will Starters Be Known Sports editors are telling the composing room foreman to dust off that oft-used head, "Jones Changes Trojan Lineup." The Headman of Troy is at it again and daily, from now until Southern California meets California Saturday afternoon in the Coliseum in Los Angeles, the head will tell the story of the S. C. football situation. Not until the Trojans trot out on the Coliseum turf at 2 p.m. Saturday will the Southern California lineup for its Berkeley foe be known, for in the meantime Jones is giving everyone on the field but the student managers an opportunity to show his ability in practice, and the Headman's selections for the opening S. C. eleven this week-end will be based on the series of experiments with new men and new combinations that he has been making since the Stanford game ten days ago. New men coming to the front during the past week include Warren Hull and Jim Rorison, sophomore tackles and the biggest boys out for the Trojan team. Hull is a 225-pounder from Glendale where he played high school and junior college football. Rorison weighs 229 pounds and is from Manual Arts high school and the Trojan frosh. Hull is 6 feet, 4 inches in height while Rorison is a half-inch shorter. Defensively these boys have played well in early season practice but not until the past week did they show the offensive kick that Jones has been seeking. Because of their improved blocking and charging, they stand a President Mills of the chamber of commerce said yesterday that the effort made by that body to have a packinghouse for the shipment of tomatoes from this point established here is nearing success and that in all probability Anaheim's tomato crop will next season be shipped from here instead of being hauled to Fullerton for shipment. The company wants 400 acres and will obligate itself to erect a packinghouse here. It is believed this acreage can be secured. Joseph Helmsen has a number of calla lilies blooming in his garden and will soon have a run of them extending along the east side of his residence property on south Claudina street. Mr. Helmsen's roses are among the finest in the city, and there are many lovely gardens here. Mrs. Hartung entertained the Ladies Euchre club on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Whiting was awarded the first prize, a hand-painted plate, Mrs. Fulwider took second, a fancy sugar bowl and cream pitcher, Miss Winifred Melrose captured the consolation, a souvenir deck of cards. Dainty refreshments of chicken salad, cake and coffee were served. Miss Anne Everhardy entertained the 500 club on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Schneider won the first prize, a cut glass dish, and Miss Marie Rimpau the second, a Venetian dish. Refreshments of salads, cake and coffee were served. Fritz Yungbluth, Wm. Falkenstein, Henry Adams, Earl Abbey, Frank Tausch, and a bunch of old time rooters went to Los Angeles to see Walter Johnson perform in the pitchers box. Walter Johnson pitched for the Nationals against Los Angeles in that city on Sunday, allowing seven hits and striking out three men. The score was 9 to 1 in favor of the big leaguers. Miss Mattie Yorba was the guest of honor at a dancing party given by friends at Olive some evenings ago. Miss Yorba will shortly become the bride of a prominent young Los Angeles business man. Fred H. Schneider and Miss Alta D. West, popular young people of this city, were married at Santa Ana Monday by Justice Smithwick. They left on the afternoon train for San Diego where a brief honeymoon will be spent. On their return they will reside in this city where the groom is one of the rising young business men. John Kellenberger and Mrs. Addie Hagar, popular young people of this city were married in Los Angeles last week. After a brief honeymoon they returned to this city to receive the congratulations of their many friends. Defensively these boys have played well in early season practice but not until the past week did they show the offensive kick that Jones has been seeking. Because of their improved blocking and charging, they stand a good chance of being in the starting line Saturday ahead of Herb Tatsch and Hueston Harper, the senior tackles. Trojan end positions are as wide open as the tackle berths, and Leavitt Thurlow, Bob (Pop-Eye) Fuhrer and Ward Browning are putting up a battle to succeed Captain Julie Descos and Al Coughlin, who started the recent Stanford game. Thurlow has shown a good offensive punch through his improved blocking and seems to have the inside track for the left end job. Fuhrer admittedly has turned in some of the best end playing done for the Trojans this season, but he is handicapped by a trick knee sustained during basketball season last spring. Coughlin played a great defensive game against Stanford in his only varsity appearance at end, but Browning is making a strong bid for his right end position through his offensive work, and right now Jones is more concerned with generating power on offense than on building defense. Russ Powers is expected to be back in his running guard Job Saturday after a long lay-off due to a sprained ankle, but there is still a possibility that Tony Beard, who struggled along as a fourth string fullback for two years, may take his job because of his hard-hitting in practice. Art Dittberner, switched from right tackle, will be at standing guard, while Ellwood (Yogi) Jorgensen has been changed from tackle to center. Southern California's starting quarterback against the Bears will probably be dynamic little Davie Davis, with Max Belko, another soph, at left half; Cal Clemens, senior, at right half, and Cliff Propst, junior, at fullback. Cotton Warburton and Inky Wotkyns will be held in reserve for Davis and Propst. Colonists March Through Grovers For 6 Touchdowns On the first play after the kickoff Gordon Grauer's Football team playing John Kellenberger and Mrs. Addie Hagar, popular young people of this city were married in Los Angeles last week. After a brief honeymoon they returned to this city to receive the congratulations of their many friends. George Bauer has sold his grape crop at $8 per ton, and is now blowing in the money. He used to get $18 per ton, but sales this year at retail served to make up much of the difference. H. A. Dickel this week entered into a contract with the government for renewal of contract for the postoffice building. The new contract runs for five years at a rental of $480 annually. The postoffice was established there six years ago. The orange association will begin packing the first of the new crop of oranges on the 26th, and shipments will be made immediately thereafter from the new packing house on Santa Ana street. Snow on the mountains, and green peas, tomatoes and other vegetables on the dinner table. That is winter in Southern California for you. The nights are chilly but the days are ideally perfect. The travelers section of Ebell met at Mrs. Pearson’s on Saturday afternoon with fifteen members present. Roll call was answered by facts concerning India. Among those on the program were Mrs. Dutton, Mrs. Falkenstein, Mrs. Rose, Mrs. Pearson, Mrs. Storm, Mrs. Rehwoldt, Miss Walker, Miss Margaret Walker. C. K. Marshall, of the Western Tea and Coffee store, got his finger broken in the coffee mill last Saturday, but is still able to dish out the best coffee in the city. Allan Knapp came in from Katella the first of the week. He thinks of going into the banking business in Garden Grove. L. B. Weber and George Getch were in Los Angeles on Sunday and took in “The Invasion.” Charley Ruddock was over from Fullerton on Tuesday afternoon in his automobile riding on the boulevard. Colonists March Through Grovers For 6 Touchdowns On the first play after the kickoff Garden Grove’s Football team, playing on its home grounds, tried a surprise pass which Anaheim Colonists’ Wally Fee clutched to his bosom and ran 40 yards to a touchdown. Before Coach Dick Glover could yank his first string, it had rung up two more touchdowns and made good on two conversions. In marched the seconds, who scored three more touchdowns against Coach John Ward's disciples, making the score 32 to 0. WEAK AND SKINNY MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN Saved by new Vitamins of Cod Liver Oil in tasteless tablets. Pounds of firm healthy flesh instead of bare scraggly bones! New vigor, vim and energy instead of tired lifestyles! Steadily quiet nerves! That is what thousands of people are getting through scientists' latest discovery—the Vitamins of Cod Liver Oil concentrated in little sugar coated tablets without any of its horrid, fushy taste or smell. McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tablets, they're called "Cod Liver Oil in Tablets", and they simply work wonders. A little boy of 3, seriously sick, got well and gained 10% lbs. in just one month. A girl of thirteen after the same disease, gained 8 lbs., the first week and 2 lbs. each week after. A young mother who could not eat or sleep after baby came got all her health back and gained 10 lbs. in less than a month. You simply must try McCoy's at once. Remember if you don't gain at least 3 lbs. of firm healthy flesh in a month get your money back. Demand and get McCoy's—the original and genuine Cod Liver Oil Tablets approved by Good Housekeeping Institute. Refuse all substitutes—insist on the original McCoy's—there are none better. Butter Prices Go Up As Importation From Mid-West Anticipated Due to the comparatively light production of butter on the Pacific coast, it seems probable that further shipments from the middle west will be needed to supply Pacific coast needs, according to a review of the butter market released by the federal-state market news service. While the cold storage situation continued to improve and holdings are now 1,854,075 pounds, compared with 4,056,663 at this time last year, it should be remembered, the service said, that last year's holdings were unusually heavy. Stocks this year are almost 500,000 pounds heavier than in 1932. In this connection the service noted that prices of 92 score butter are 8½ cents higher than in 1933 and 1932. Drunk Driver Gets Fifty Days in Jail Vincent Ortez of 424 East Adele street is sitting in the county jail this week trying to recall details of his automobile drive last Sunday evening which wound up with a sentence of 50 days in the county bastille and revocation of his license for 90 days. According to testimony in Judge Frank Tausch's court Monday morning, Anaheim police saw queer antics of Ortez' machine. They followed it far enough to observe he failed to stop for boulevards, swung constantly to the extreme left side of the road and other anties which caused the uniformed cops to question the sobriety of the driver. They took him to headquarters for examination where he was pronounced drunk at 8:30 p.m. Sunday. Ortez was found guilty as charged Monday morning. Retail Sales Tax Breaks All Marks Exceeding the corresponding figure for any previous quarter by more than $400,000, California's retail sales tax collections for the months of July-August and September have reached a total of $12,821,776.18. This was revealed by Richard E. Collins, chairman of the state board of equalization, which handles the administration of the tax. "At a corresponding date after the close of the quarter ended June 30," said Collins, "the yield from the 2½ per cent retail sales tax for that period was $12,410,846.06. That figure surpassed any previous yield so that the returns for the quarter just ended are particularly gratifying as an indication of sustained improvement in business conditions."
