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 O 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 29, 1884 The vote of California at the late election was as near as possible 198,000, which implies a population of a million—about the population of Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, South Carolina and New Jersey. Eighteen states in the union exceed California in population, in the following order: New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Massachusetts, Iowa, Texas, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi. But the vote of California exceeds that of Alabama and Mississippi. At the time the next census is taken, if we turn our resources to good account, California ought to be sixth in the list. On Monday night after the Anaheim hotel had been closed and its inmates retired, some person evidently acquainted with the internal arrangements of the house and the customary habits of its propriator, gained access from the rear through a screen window and visited the sleeping room of E. Pommer, the landlord, and abstracted from beneath his pillow a valuable gold watch and chain. A sum of money concealed in the bed escaped the search of the thief, who retreated undetected and has thus far so well covered his tracks as to leave no clue for his detection. While Capt. Wilson was in Anaheim on last Monday his house at Anaheim Landing was visited by marauders who gained access to it through the window and stole a shot-gun, field-glass, a pair of new gum boots and some money. The captain has been on a cruise all week in search of the burglars and thinks he has found a clue. It is hoped he will find the guilty parties and have them dealt with according to law. What's in a name? Why, everything. If an author makes one literary hit, his subsequent productions sell readily regardless of their merit.

Miss Baum at Anaheim Landing was visited by marauders who gained access to it through the window and stole a shot-gun, field-glass, a pair of new gum boots and some money. The captain has been on a cruise all week in search of the burglars and thinks he has found a clue. It is hoped he will find the guilty parties and have them dealt with according to law. What's in a name? Why, everything. If an author makes one literary hit, his subsequent productions sell readily regardless of their merit. The short story published last week by a syndicate of leading newspapers, written by Bret Harte and entitled "Sarah Walker," is an illustration of the slush which finds a ready market because the author has a reputation. "Sarah Walker" is a flat uninteresting and trashy jumble of words, which, if offered to a journal by any amateur writer would be thrown into the waste basket. The republicans of Los Angeles county have nominated the following gentlemen for city offices: For mayor, E. T. Spence; city attorney, J. W. McKinley; tax collector, H. C. Payne; treasurer, Al Cobler; assessor, John Fischer. The democrats have made the following nominations: For mayor, C. E. Thom (present incumbent); city attorney, H. W. O'Melveny; treasurer, J. C. Kays; tax collector, H. S. Parcels; assessor, W. J. A. Smith. D. Parker and wife of Wisconsin are in town and will probably remain in this vicinity during the winter. The gentleman is the brother of Leonard Parker of our town and can scarcely believe that the magnificent orchard and home of that gentleman is the result of the labor of only twelve years. To improve a place in Wisconsin to such perfection would require a lifetime. A story comes from the Santa Clara county redwoods that the wife of a wood-chopper named Montgomery living on the Santa Cruz side presented her astonished spouse with a quartet of babies, three boys and a girl on the night of November 14th. The infants weighed all the way from two to six pounds. The lecture advertised for today, to be given next Wednesday by Mr. Lockwood, is but introductory to a series which he will give if the people evince enough interest in the startling propositions which he will announce. The subject is no hackneyed one and will be dealt with in a very original manner. As there will be neither admission fee nor collection, there ought to be, and doubtless will be, a large attendance. The advertisement referred to above reads in part: Walter Lockwood Thales will deliver a lecture at Kroeger’s hall on Wednesday, Dec. 3rd, on “The Primary Rights of Man.” All friends of progress are invited. The following real estate transfers have been recorded during the week: William Konig and Louis Durr to James M. Roberts, lots 45 and 46 in vineyard lot E-5, Anaheim, $750; Christian Meyer and Julia H. Meyer, his wife, to Wilhelm Newbauer, NW¼ of NE¼, section 21, township 4-S, range 10-W, $3000; Alfred Robinson, trustee, to Joseph P. des Granges, S½ of SE¼, section 24, township 3-S, range W, $1,200.

Dan W. Gelwicks died suddenly at Sacramento on Monday. He was walking on the street when he was stricken with paralysis and died a few hours later. The deceased resided on the Shanklin ranch near Anaheim for a year or so and was well known here. He has lately been publishing a journal in Oakland and held the position of state prison director. No water will be brought into Anaheim through the ditches until the pipe line is completed, which will be in about two weeks. It was found necessary to refine the asphaltum instead of using it in its natural state, as at first intended, hence the unexpected delay in completing the line. Mark Twain must feel that the Italians have got the best of him just once. A Florence publisher announces a translation of the works of Marco Duo, further translated as Samuelo Langhorne Clemensini. Capital stock of the Bank of Anaheim is $100,000. Plez James is president, G. B. Shaffer, secretary. Board of directors: E. F. Spence, W. H. Mabury, W. K. James, S. H. Mott, P. James. The infant son of Chas. S. Miles died on Thursday in Los Angeles and was buried in the family plot in Anaheim cemetery yesterday. Richard Egan and Marcos Forster of San Juan Capistrano made Anaheim an angelic visit on Tuesday—angelic because they are few and far between. J. J. Hunter has returned from San Pedro where he has been at work for several months. From fourteen 9-year-old eucalyptus trees cut down by D. W. Fish, 8 cords of wood were obtained. M. H. Cheeseman comes again to the front with an announcement of a large stock of new goods just received. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only files of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 25, 1909 San Bernardino and Riverside are achewing of the rag over the respective gobs of wealth produced by those counties. The former's total the past year, according to the county statistician is $19,000,000, and the latter's $10,000,000. Orange county with one-fifteenth the territorial area of Riverside, and one-twentysixth that of San Bernardino comes to the front with $13,000,000. Our two neighboring counties may amuse themselves by making faces at one another, but when Orange county hoves into view they must cease their Kilkenny scrap and sit up and take notice. Masons are negotiating with Mr. Royer for renting lodgerooms in his building to be erected early in the coming year at the corner of Center and Emily streets. The building will have a frontage of 115 feet on Center and will be two or three stories in height. The ground floor will be devoted to stores and the upper floor or floors to offices and lodge rooms. Mr. Royer recently purchased the ground at the outlay of $10,000 and the building will cost probably $15,000. Chilly Fischer went to Los Angeles on Monday evening to enter the local baseball club into the inter-urban league, which is composed of twelve clubs in Southern California. Chilly is manager of the local nine and is the romping dinosaur of the ballfield. He makes a steady diet of central babies and knocks the stars from the firmament with his baseball bat. In a word, Chilly is a dandy. A double wedding occurred at St. Boniface church yesterday morning at 8:30 o'clock. The high contracting parties were Robert Quarton and Miss Clara Baum and Leo J. Fiala and Miss Pauline Bayha. Rev. Father Dubble performed the ceremony, which was witnessed by members of the families and invited guests. Miss Baum was attended by Miss Louise Aust of this city National Housing Act Opportunity For Modernizing Loans Make Possible Wide Use of Electrical Appliances In the Home With election out of the way, Southern California business is set to make an intensive recovery drive under the stimulating influence of the national housing act. Major features of the nation-wide program are now under way or ready for launching in virtually every Southern California community and the work of modernization and new building to be created through the national agency is expected during the ten months of the campaign to put thousands of unemployed building trade workers back on private payrolls and to start construction activity totaling millions of dollars. One of the outstanding factors of the modernization program, according to R. E. Bacon, Southern California Edison company manager in this territory, is that the recently revised governmental regulations make possible the wide use of electrical appliances in home and farm modernization plans. "Late rulings of the federal housing administration set aside the original restrictions that electric ranges, refrigerators and water heaters have to be 'built in' and now the attaching of these service units in conduit is regarded sufficient," Mr. Bacon said. "This means that the extremely low financing costs under the housing act are available to those who which to bring their kitchens up to date by the installation of electrical equipment. The Edison company organization, through its local offices, has arranged is composed of twelve clubs in Southern California.

Fiala and Miss Pauline Bayha. Rev. Father Dubble performed the ceremony, which was witnessed by members of the families and invited guests. Miss Baum was attended by Miss Louise Aust of this city and Miss Bayha by Miss J. Jones of Los Angeles.

They visited in Scotland where they found relatives whom they had not seen in fifty years. Both return in excellent health and spirits. Mr. Henry will shortly begin the erection of a fine two-story residence on Broadway.

Mr. Deutsch owns the largest frontage on the Center street paved area. The work of paving this street will begin in the near future. Harry Kuebler is engaged in moving the Nemetz building from its site on East Center street to his lots on the eastside. The building is being removed to make room for the new Bacon said. "This means that the extremely low financing costs under the housing act are available to those who which to bring their kitchens up to date by the installation of electrical equipment. The Edison company organization, through its local offices, has arranged to aid anyone desiring this type of financing in preparation of applications and in full planning for the installation of electrical equipment. Electrical modernization programs, while logically starting with the kitchen by the use of the electric range, water heater and refrigerator, are not, of course, limited to the kitchen but may be applied to other parts of the home as well. Many home modernization programs may well include re-wiring to provide extra convenience outlets in all rooms and new and improved lighting for both the house and yard." "Not only city home dwellers but farmers, both large and small scale, can share in the advantages obtainable under terms of the housing act. Numerous modern electrical aids to agriculture can now be purchased and installed by means of the loans offered by private banking houses and insured by the government. Included in the list of equipment available through the act are irrigation and domestic water systems, brooders, incubators, water heaters, feed grinders, fruit drivers, milking machines, separators, sterilizers, milk coolers, dairy refrigerators, meat and egg refrigerators, ventilators and other necessary appliances." "From $100 to $2,000 is available to each property owner and the rates of interest are the lowest ever offered for this type of financing. Low prices of equipment and building materials at the present time would be sufficient reason to cause owners whose property needs repairs or alternations to act at once, even if the broader civic aspect of the situation did not dictate such a course in the interests of returning prosperity through re-employment of workers now on relief roles and the reviving of the long dormant construction industries." H. Deutsch was in town on Saturday from Los Angeles and signed up for 415 feet of paving in front of his property on Center street at the corner of Lemon. Mr. Deutsch owns the largest frontage on the Center street paved area. The work of paving this street will begin in the near future.

Oh, listen to the music of the band. Citrus Agreement Upheld by Courts Restrains Medferd Brothers From Interstate Shipping of Citrus Fruit The government and the California-Arizona citrus marketing agreement were upheld in regulation of interstate movement of oranges and grapefruit in the temporary injunction issued Friday by Federal Judge Cosgrave against Mefferd Brothers, according to Ivan McDaniel, legal counsel for the marketing agreement. "While intrastate shipments were not enjoined under the federal AAA, it must be remembered that approximately 90 per cent of California orange and grapefruit shipments are to other states and that it has shown in this case that most of Mefferd Brothers' shipments went to other states," he said. The federal injunction states that Mefferd Brothers are restrained from making any shipments of oranges and grapefruit to points outside the state of California except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the federal marketing license. The district attorney of Tular county where Mefferd Brothers operate now has a court action in progress at Visalia in which he seeks to restrain this shipper from making intra-state shipments in violation of the California AAA which is similar in its terms to the federal AAA license, according to McDaniel. Sinclair Flayed as "Poor Sport" After Outburst Ingall Bull Says Erstwhile Socialist Should Bow to Will of People Branding Upton Sinclair's recall threats against Governor Frank Merriam as "a terrible lack of true American sportsmanship," Ingall W. Bull, chairman of the Southern Counties Republican Central committee, charged the erstwhile democratic nominee with "adopting obstructionist tactics which might easily retard economic recovery." "The republican party accepts the challenge," said Bull. “If Sinclair is truly sincere in his desire to help the needy unemployed,—and I have never questioned his honesty—he could render real service to the state by co-operating with Governor Merriam in his recovery program, rather than becoming an obstructionist or a curbstone heckler. Governor Merriam was elected fairly and squarely. Any talk to the contrary is ridiculous. It is an empty gesture for Sinclair to shout about 'stolen votes,' said Bull, who is also chairman of the Southern Counties Republican association, and secretary of the state organization. 'Sinclair should bow to the will of the people, so decisively expressed at the polls. Campaign factionalism and bitterness should be forgotten when the polls close. We should all put our shoulders to the wheel to the end that prosperity will become a reality again and distress actually ended. Governor Merriam and the republican party are pledged to a constructive, progressive and humanitarian economic and welfare program.' DR. MILES' ANTI-PAIN PILLS a new idea!
