IN THE DAYS OF I 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 Anaheim, Calif., Jan. 3, 1935 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 17, 1885 At a meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water Company held on last Saturday, the following were elected a Board of Directors: Louis Schorn, Ernest Browning, Henry Kroeger, J. B. Pierce, J. P. Zeyn, T. J. F. Boege, and W. M. McFadden. The Board subsequently organized by electing Mr. Zeyn, president; Mr. Pierce, vice-president; Richard Melrose, secretary and treasurer. The latter officer's bond was fixed at $6000 and his salary at $40 per month. The following were elected a Board of Audit: D. B. Summer, S. B. Smith and A. J. Mead. The proposed amendments to the by-laws were rejected except the following: Creating a Board of Audit and defining its duties; fixing the salary of each member of the Board of Directors at $2 per month; providing that the financial year of the company shall end on the 31st day of December; fixing the date for the annual meeting of stockholders the last Saturday in January. The following officers of Magnolia Council No. 94, O. C. F. were installed last Saturday evening: E. A. White, chief councilor; S. S. Woods, V. C.; A. L. Lewis, secretary; Theo. Rimpau, treasurer; Mr. W. M. McFadden, prelate; D. W. C. Cowan, marshal; C. Hilmer, warden; A. Rimpau, guard; W. M. McFadden, sentry; W. M. Higgins, H. Kroeger, and Chas. Hilmer, trustees. The council now has a membership of forty-six and is flourishing. The probility that the legislature will make an appropriation for the building of another insane asylum has made a commotion in Los Angeles, and there is an organized effort being made to secure the location of the institution in that city. Curiously enough there is some opposition to its being located there on the ground that an insane asylum brings neither credit nor fame to the place of its location, but rather reproach. A new five-cents has been prepared its adoption in consideration by the George Washington upon a coin, declaring coin is adopted bear the head of Postmaster D shows an increase increase to come in April.

Burkle, who has been very ill for some weeks died on Monday evening, and was buried on Tuesday. The obsequies being attended by a large number of his neighbors. He had resided in Anaheim for a great many years and was known as an industrious and well-meaning man, and being a strong man physically, his untimely death was a surprise to all. A Frenchman named Coupil has invented an apparatus which he calls an aeroplane, but is no more nor less than an aerial velocipede, constructed in such a manner as to enable a man to sail in the air, the propelling power being furnished by a pedal movement similar to that used on an ordinary bicycle scientific journals state that there is nothing in the construction of the machine contrary to the rules of mechanics and that it may form a solution of the question of aerial navigation. We sincerely hope for its success. What a boon it would be to the people of Los Angeles county in these days of rickety railroads, bridgeless streams and impassable roads. But would not the Board of Supervisors exact a license fee for their use? Frank Seibert left for Oakland on Wednesday morning in response to a telegram that his sister Carriea, was ill, and that the doctors gave no hope for her recovery. Her sickness is typhoid-malarial fever. Since the above was in type a telegram has been received announcing the death of Miss Seibert, which occurred at 10 o'clock Thursday. Prof. Hinton proposes to open an afternoon dancing school for children and ladies at 3:30 P. M. on Wednesday (28th inst.) in addition to his evening class. His terms are very moderate as will be seen by referring to his advertisement, and we feel sure that he will have a large number of pupils. The subscription list is at P. Pillegrin Bros. Prof. Hinton's dancing school meets at Kroeger's hall every Wednesday—Gentlemen, per month $3.00. Ladies $1.50. Single admission $1.00. Ladies 50 cents. Tickets, $2.00 for six lessons. The vineyard area will be widely extended in the vicinity of Anaheim this year. The season promises to be favorable for the planting and growth of cuttings, and due advantage will be taken of the circumstances.

Mr. Shulter from Wilmington has rented the Conrad brick building on Las Angeles street and will next week open an upholstering and trimming shop. We hope he will meet with the largest measure of success. Last Sunday a son of Mr. Dameron of Santa Ana, about 14 years of age was visiting at Mr. Pankie's near Westminster, and thinking a rifle was not loaded sent a ball through the right breast of Pankie about 12 years of age. It is thought he will recover but grave fears are entertained. E. P. Hoyle, an attach of the Ostrich Farm, had his arm broken some days ago by the lever of a mowing machine which slipped from its socket and struck the arm. A mowing machine in action is evidently as dangerous as an ostrich on the rampage. Drs. Masser & Wilder, the dentists who visit Anaheim on the 9th of every month use a new preparation to prevent pain in preparing teeth for filling. It only costs $8750 per pound and is called Hydrochlorate of cocaine. The Orangethorpe school will reopen on Monday with Mrs. A. Metcalf as teacher. The Placentia school will also reopen on Monday, J. P. Greeley remaining as teacher. In the assembly on Tuesday, Edwards presented a petition of citizens of Anaheim for the repeal of the special act under which the town is incorporated. The petition was referred. It is said that Ella, the daughter of W. Fesenfeld, formerly of Anaheim, died recently at New Tacoma, N. T., where the family has been residing for some time past. E. B. Foster of Centralia has sold forty acres of his farm to Newman and Shefter, who some time ago purchased the Crane place. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 13, 1910 A new five-cent piece bearing the head of George Washington has been prepared at the United States mint at Philadelphia, and its adoption in place of the present five-cent piece is now being considered by the officials in Washington. During the life-time of George Washington he refused to allow his likeness to appear upon a coin, declaring it to be a monarchial custom. If the new coin is adopted it will be the first in authorized circulation to bear the head of the Father of his Country. Postmaster Duckworth reports business at the postoffice shows an increase of $800 over last year, with a considerable increase to come before free city delivery of mail can be ordered in April. The holiday season made matters lively, and since the first business continues brisk. Free city delivery is not yet in sight, but the past quarter's sale of stamps and envelopes continuing, prospects will be good. A strong pull, and a pull together will land it. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce met at their room in the library building Monday night. Only four members—President Mills and Messrs. Ahlborn, Weisel and Wickett were present. In the absence of Ross Capt. Ahlborn acted as secretary. The names of Wm. Falkenstein, H. M. Adams, C. E. Holcomb, O. Renner, J. W. Wallop, Dr. Beebe and S. Kister have been submitted from which to select successors of Directors Miller, Ahlborn and Wickett whose terms have expired. A mass meeting was called for next Monday night at the library building to discuss ways and means to protect the city and surrounding country from the rampageous encroachment of the Santa Ana river. A. A. Mills submitted the following in reply to a Fullerton's four members—President Mills and Messrs. Ahlborn, Weisel and Wickett were present. In the absence of Ross Capt. Ahlborn acted as secretary. The names of Wm. Falkenstein, H. M. Adams, C. E. Holcomb, O. Renner, J. W. Wallop, Dr. Beebe and S.

A mass meeting was called for next Monday night at the library building to discuss ways and means to protect the city and surrounding country from the rampageous encroachment of the Santa Ana river. A. A. Mills submitted the following in reply to a Fullerton's paper criticism of a recent write-up of Anaheim in a Los Angeles publication: In regard to your comments with reference to the county write-up you say "Anaheim is also credited with having 5000 population, which is false and misleading." Allow me to say that this includes Anaheim and West Anaheim, a territory including an area of about 18 square miles, an area only slightly greater than that included within the incorporated limits of the city of Fullerton. The figures given for population are below rather than above the actual. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis entertained at a family reunion on Sunday, when a bountiful turkey dinner was discussed by seventeen members of the family. The dinner which was at first set for New Year's was postponed a week on account of the heavy rains. The guests were Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lewis, Mrs. Warth, Mrs. Mosseman, Mrs. Fitch and three children, Miss Cora Lewis, Misses Clara and Adela Mosseman. The host and hostess and their two sons, Fayette and Leland, made a merry company, and the dinner which was a triumph of the culinary art, will be long remembered as one of the most enjoyable of the season. Stockholders of the First National Bank met on Tuesday and elected the following board of directors to serve the ensuing year: John Hartung, Edgar Hartung, A. S. Bradford, F. Shanley and Samuel Kraemer. The newly elected directors will meet next week and elect officers. Floyd Kealiher is recovering from injuries sustained some days ago when he severely scalded his leg while at work in the chili dryer. He was adjusting the machinery and accidentally stepped into a tub of boiling water. The injury was painful but he will soon be about again. F. A. Yungbluth is laying a new maple floor in his store and installing new shelving and show cases. The establishment is being restocked with new consignments of goods and will be formally reopened in a few days. The local lodge of Modern Woodmen on Wednesday evening installed officers for the ensuing term as follows: Robert Wilson, V. G.; John Chambers, W. A.; H. W. Comstock, clerk; Frank Fox, banker; C. W. Hedges, escort; T. Hollingsworth, Watchman; A. A. Mills, Sentry; W. P. Webb, manager. Following the installation a banquet prepared by the wives of the members was discussed. Mr. and Mrs. Welborn Wallop entertained members of the Four-Fours club at their home on Thursday evening. Mr. and Wickett were present. In the absence of Ross Capt. Ahlborn acted as secretary. The names of Wm. Falkenstein, H. M. Adams, C. E. Holcomb, O. Renner, J. W. Wallop, Dr. Beebe and S. Kister have been submitted from which to select successors of Directors Miller, Ahlborn and Wickett whose terms have expired. A mass meeting was called for next Monday night at the library building to discuss ways and means to protect the city and surrounding country from the rampageous encroachment of the Santa Ana river. Did you ever hear a mouse sing? My own old ears are not keen enough, but several of my friends have told me of singing mice in their homes, and I heard the other day of one old gentleman who succeeded in taming one of the little creatures so that it would come every night and share his late supper of bread and cheese, singing between bites. The notes are like a canary's, only very low and faint. A British scientist contends that all mice sing, if we could only hear them. I have a friend with ears sharp enough to hear the bats talk to each other as they pursue mosquitoes on Summer nights. He says that they, too, sound like rather squeaky canaries, with a range of several notes. As a boy I used to catch bats and try to tame them. One became an interesting pet. He slept all day, hanging upside down, suspended by the hooks on his wing-joints from the picture-molding in my bedroom. But a conscientious maid-servant, who believed the old suggestion that bats carry bad luck anyhow, killed him with a broom one day.

I feel sorry for city children, who grow up without seeing any animals except dogs, goats, cats and horses, unless they go to the Zoo. To them all other animals seem dangerous because they see them only behind the bars of their cages. The other day a little gray fox from the Long Island woods strayed into a New York suburb, and women and children ran shrieking into their houses, crying "Wolf!" The police finally capture the frightened beastie and took him to the city Zoo. Probably nobody concerned realized that the gray fox, which is becoming rarer and rarer in the East, is the only native fox south of the Canadian border. The common red fox was unknown in America until about 200 years ago, when a group of sportsmen trying to introduce their English sport of fox-hunting into the colonies, imported a few pairs of red foxes from England and turned them loose on Long Island. Now their progeny have driven the gray foxes back into the deep woods, all over New England, New York, New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania.

G.; John Chambers, W. A.; H. W. Comstock, clerk; Frank Fox, banker; C. W. Hedges, escort; T. Hollingsworth, Watchman; A. A. Mills, Sentry; W. P. Webb, manager. Following the installation a banquet prepared by the wives of the members was discussed. Mr. and Mrs. Welborn Wallop entertained members of the Four-Fours club at their home on Thursday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adams were awarded the gentleman's and lady's prizes respectively, and the evening was one of thorough enjoyment throughout. An elaborate repast was served at midnight and it was late when the merry throng dispersed to their homes. An alarm of fire was turned in on Thursday night shortly after 11 for a blaze in the rear of Bob Hinrich's bicycle store on Center street. Passers by saw though the window a blaze in the back yard which was found to be a bonfire started earlier in the evening by Hinrichs. The fire department responded promptly and extinguished the flames before any damage was done. Rain fell on Monday night to the amount of .27 of an inch according to Mr. Dickel's gauge. Total for the season 9.48 inches, last year to date 5.10. Mayor Rust and his son Percy have recovered from an attack of measles. The latter returned to Los Angeles on Monday to resume studies at business college. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Fischle and little boy were in town from the West End early in the week visiting with friends. Fred Waller sold seven acres on West North street to a Los Angeles party on Tuesday for $3500. N. H. Kennedy was in town Monday morning from his ranch at Magnolia. Misses Emma and Millie Klein of Milwaukee are here to spend the winter with their sister, Mrs. Peter Weisel. Services at St. Michael's church on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock.

Now their progeny have driven the gray foxes back into the deep woods, all over New England, New York, New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. MONKEYS ... and us I don't think I know anybody who isn't interested in the human-like antics of monkeys, who are so much like miniature people that we instinctively feel kinship with them. But most folk feel an instinctive terror of the great apes, the orangutans, gorillas, and even chimpanzees. They are so very much like humans that we can't feel sure how they will react to emotional stimuli, and they are so much stronger, size for size, than any human being, that there is generally a decided fear of personal violence should something anger them. My friend Ben Burbridge brought a baby gorilla home from Africa a few years ago and I got to be well acquainted with her. She was an affectionate creature, who would tear the clothes off anybody she liked, in-the effort to show her affection. She didn't realize, of course, how much stronger she was than a man or a woman. After a while she, like all the other apes in captivity, had to be sent to a Zoo, for safety. It would have been kinder to have left her in her native jungle. ELEPHANTS ... old Jumbo Of all the animals I have ever known I like elephants the best. They seem to me to be far more intelligent, docile and friendly than any other of the larger animals, and there is something about their bulk and strength and their calm outlook on life that inspires confidence. I knew old "Hattle," the very first elephant ever brought to America. She was more than 100 years old when she died at the New York Hippodrome a few years ago; there was a record of her appearance at public exhibitions DAY AND MARROW MER STOCKBRIDGE and children Smith, the famous century ago, who said: of men, the better I reason why every nor-lands the lesser ani-seems to me, is that know them you can attitude toward any decidedly not true of rare instances. friendships I have been between chil-animals.

S. Rogers, chief of the bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization, state department of agriculture. Rogers said the apricot, pear, cherry, plum and peach growers committees of the California Fresh Deciduous Tree Fruit Marketing agreement in recent sessions have asked that certain changes be prepared in the standardization law affecting those commodities which are to be resubmitted to them for consideration before the coming session of the legislature. In each instance these requests include a strengthening of the provisions of the law and the formulation of some definite maturity standards all of which will tend to improve the quality of California fruits offered for sale or sold within the state or shipped to distant markets. Growers of apples, walnuts, citrus fruits, lettuce and asparagus have also requested a strengthening of the provisions of the standardization law, affecting those crops. Rogers commented: "These growers realize that in order to continue to sell the volume of produce grown in California at a profit, the highest quality possible to be obtained must be sent to the markets and that it is necessary to have legal assistance in accomplishing Mothers and Nurses Study Handicapped In Special Courses Psychological study of handicapped children is to be made in a late afternoon class planned for mothers; nurses, and special teachers to be given by University College, downtown adult division of the University of Southern California, during the winter quarter which opens January 7. Meeting on Thursday afternoons from 4:10 to 6:30 o'clock in the Transportation building Seventh and Los Angeles streets, the course is to be under the direction of Dr. Sara Stinchfield. Various types of children such as the deaf, crippled, visually handicapped, speech-defective, psychopathic, and mentally retarded and deficient will be studied. Lectures will be supplemented by trips to institutions for demonstration purposes. Dr. Stinchfield also is to conduct a class on the psychology of speech and voice which will meet at the same time on Friday afternoons. Lectures in both courses during the opening week are free to the public. More than 300 courses in 50 departments of college study are to be given during the winter quarter of the U.S.C evening division. Employment Drops In Month of Nov. In November, employment in the manufacturing industries of California, as reported to the state by 900 representatives of identical manufacturing establishments, declined 8.5 per cent from October, 1934.
