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 MARCH 7, 1885 The Board of Town Trustees met on Monday. The committee reported adversely upon the advertising proposition of Mr. Huff of Los Angeles. Mr. Witte of the special committee appointed at the last meeting reported that he had been unable to see the officials of the Atlantic and Pacific road but that he had conferred with the Chief Engineer and Superintendent of the California Southern. He gathered from them that while there was little probability of the main road coming this way, it was possible that a branch might be built through Anaheim in the future. An ordinance was introduced entirely repealing the license ordinance, also one to increase the clerk's salary to $10.50 per month—about what it is now, including the fees on licenses. The complaint of J. Backs regarding the keeping of hogs near his premises was referred to the Board of Health. The petition of Mr. Coquillett for a bridge on Olive street and of Mr. Gade for a bridge on Davis street were referred to the committee on public improvements. On Thursday of last week Marie Conto, a French lady, 60 years of age appeared at the jail at Los Angeles and requested the keeper to lock her up for throwing sulphuric acid diluted with water at her husband for assaulting her. It appears the husband transferred his affections to a younger and, more beautiful woman and turned the old lady out into the world to shift for herself. The weather continues dry and warm, and few weatherwise people cling to the hope of rain. Irrigation is the order of the day (and night). The water sold by the A. U. Water company during the week ending Thursday evening in both lower and upper ditches amounted to a total of $494.65. If postoffice receipt set by February, the summer.

Water company during the week ending Thursday evening in both lower and upper ditches amounted to a total of $494.65. History is repeating itself in the county division bill. It passed the assembly last week and it passed the assembly of 1870 or 1871. It was killed in the senate then and it will be killed in the senate now—or, more strictly speaking, it will not be reached by that body. A correspondent of the Times says that its success in the assembly was due partly to the popularity of Mr. Hazard, whose opposition to it was sufficient reason for its receiving support from a number of legislators to whom Hazard has succeeded in making himself particularly obnoxious. Constable Bohn yesterday afternoon captured a noted horse thief named Ramon Vallestero, who is wanted in Santa Barbara for theft and forgery. The sheriff of that county has been notified to call, prove property, and take him away. The arrest was made upon a printed description of the animal received by Bohn on Thursday evening. Governor Stoneman has appointed J. R. Mathews of Los Angeles Brigadier General of the First Brigade, N. G. C. His first nomination was E. E. Hewitt, but he withdrew his name at the solicitation of Senator del Valle, who has a grievance against Hewitt not unconnected with the recent attempt of del Valle to be congressman. Mr. J. G. Freeman, a gentleman of large wealth, now residing in Los Angeles completed the purchase last week of the Butler and Bushard ranch, in Fountain Valley, the same being a portion of the Bolsas rancho. There are 480 acres of land and the consideration was $20,000 cash. Upon this ranch is the extensive peat deposit which a company lately organized to work. The land is exceedingly rich and may be considered a bargain. It is said the new proprietor may turn it into a stock ranch. After a long period of trial, tribulation and hard work the Riverside water system is on the same basis as that of Anaheim. The stock of the water company is owned by the people. That is one step forward certainly, but there are lots of other preplexing questions to be dealt with in connection with water matters. It gives us pain to record the death of Ed Rimpau. He was a young man of excellent character and great promise and his untimely death at the age of 28 years is deplorable. To his stricken parents, brothers and sisters his loss is a crushing bereavement. There will be services in the Catholic church at 9 o'clock this morning. The funeral will take place at 3 o'clock this afternoon from the residence of Mr. Theo. Rimpau. The railroad company officials have re-chirstened Costa station—the first station north of Anaheim—and given it the name of Almond. There is another premier station in house beginning at the first station north of Anaheim—and given it the name of Almond. It gives us pain to record the death of Ed Rimpau.

The railroad company officials have re-chirstened Costa station—the first station north of Anaheim—and given it the name of Almond. There is another prominent railroad station named Port Costa, and the similarity of names probably gave rise to some confession. Railroad Manager Towne denies that the branch road is to be extended from Santa Ana to San Diego. Whenever a railroad official condescends to deny anything it is evidence that they have been favorably considering the thing denied. "The theory that our rains come from the south exploded," is the caption of an article in a San Francisco paper. We could have exploded that theory long ago, because our rains nearly always come from the north. It rains here sometimes. The inauguration of President Cleveland was recognized in Anaheim by the firing of a salute in the evening. In Los Angeles a salute was fired under the direction of the Democratic County Central Committee. A son of Assemblyman Edwards of Santa Ana, who is with his father at Sacramento had his arm broken last week by falling down while playing with some other boys about the capitol. Lionel Browning intends to forward to the New Orleans Exposition an exhibit of some magnificent oranges grown in his orchard in North Anaheim. Deputy County Assessor Barham is in town engaged in the assessment of property. He informs us that real estate will be valued at the same figures as last year. A real estate office is to be opened in Los Angeles by C. Z. Culver of Orange, who will make a specialty of land in the Santa Ana Valley. The price of butter dropped five cents per pound on Wednesday—presumably one of the effects of the change of administration. 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 MARCH 3, 1910 If postoffice receipts for March maintain the ratio of increase set by February, the city will have free city delivery of mails next summer. February set a banner mark for the year, exceeding every month's business except the record set by December when the postal business was the largest in the history of the office. The total business for last year amounted to $8783.60, while for the eleven months of this fiscal year, with March to hear from, receipts totaled $8910.82. This is $127.22 more than the entire business last year and leaves only $1089.18 to go in order to attain the $10,000 mark set by the postoffice department for free delivery of city mails. Whether the city is to have free delivery of mails or not will repend upon this months business. It has been suggested that our merchants get busy with Lemon and Center streets. This month will tell the story. The goal is in sight. Everybody to it. The special agricultural and horticultural demonstration train of the University of California will arrive at the Southern Pacific depot on Wednesday next at 3:15 P.M. An afternoon meeting will be held aboard the train and an evening meeting at the operahouse beginning at 8 o'clock. It is hoped that large crowds will be in attendance at each meeting. The program at the opera house will include a talk by Prof. Woodworth on the "mealy bug" and the uses of cyanide of sodium in fumigating. A lecture by Prof. Norton on "the practical use of fertilizer," also a talk by Prof. Clark upon what the demonstration train is doing for farmers and horticulturists. The Chamber of Commerce meeting on Monday evening came to order shortly after 8 o'clock with President H. V. Weisel in the chair, supported by Messrs. Falkenstein, Champion, Mills and Renner. New committees in charge of different branches for the The Chamber of Commerce meeting on Monday evening came to order shortly after 8 o'clock with President H. V.

Trade and Commerce—Holcomb, Eygabroad, Mills. The regular meeting of the city trustees on Thursday evening was a short session, and with the exception of the passing of resolutions for the paving of Hermine street between Center and Chartres, nothing of vast importance came before the board. The new street paving specifications which had been referred to Attorney Melrose and Eugene Steward were favorably reported upon. Frank Baum deeded the city a strip of land in block H, Heimann and George's subdivision, for alley purposes. Permits for buildings were issued as follows: Charles A. Clark, 34x40 frame building on Center and Melrose streets, $2500. S. Armoruster, frame building on Citron street, $1200. Contractor Fedford, for the school trustees, alterations in Central school building, $1100. L. W. Bushard, 25x50 feet cement building on East Center street, $1000. In view of the coming election attorney Melrose was instructed to draft an ordinance creating two rolling places in the city. The last election handled 512 votes and it is estimated that 600 ballots will be cast in the April election. L. J. Christopher of Los Angeles was in town on Sunday in his auto accompanied by a party of friends. Mr. Christopher has property interests here and thinks the city has a promising future. He confirms the report that Miss Denker will soon begin the erection of a large two-story brick building on her lot across the street from the city hall. Richard Fischle has purchased the Mission Candy store from Richard Schellens, and will in the future conduct the same as a first class ice-cream and confectionery establishment.

U. Simpson, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Eygabroad, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Falkenstein, Mr. and Mrs. Hartfield, Mrs. Webb, Mrs. Eva Boyd and other members of the Eastern Star went to Santa Ana on Monday to attend a kite become entangled in electric wires no attempt should be made to remove it. Under no circumstances should a child climb a pole in an attempt to bring down a kite. The proper thing to do is call the electric company, telephone company or street-car company to which the wires belong. Linemen with proper equipment will be sent to take the kite from the lines. It is unsafe to try to pull down a kite which has become entangled in electric lines. The wires may be pulled together causing a short-circuit. It can happen in such cases that wires break and fall to the ground causing serious injury to anyone who may be near them. "In making or flying a kite no metal or metallized cord should be used. It is dangerous to use wire or tinsel cord, or the so-called Christmas cord with metal strands in it, for a kite string. Such materials are conductors of electricity. It is also important to remember that a damp string becomes a conductor of electricity when it touches an electric line. Kite strings should be kept off the ground or grass when there is a possibility of wetting the string. A dry string is the only safe way to fly a kite." "Careful observance of these few safety suggestions will not detract anything from the fun of kite flying and may prevent a serious accident." Italian Educator To Give Culture Class With the two opening lectures free to the public, a course in Italian culture is to be given during the second semester of the school year by Dr. Franco Bruno Averardi, it is announced by the University of Southern California.

Coming direct from Italy to occupy the chair in Italian culture at the University of Southern California, Dr.Averardi is well-known in literary, artistic and diplomatic circles. He took an active part in the Washington naval conference, the Genoa conference and for more than a year was in the secretariat of the League of Nations in Geneva. He is the son-in-law of former Orlando of Italy.

A CHILD'S LAXATIVE SHOULD BE LIQUID (Ask any doctor) For your own comfort, and for your children's safety and future welfare, you should read this: The bowels cannot be helped to regularity by any laxative that can't be regulated as to dose. That is why doctors use liquid laxatives. A liquid laxative can always be taken in the right amount. You can gradually reduce the dose. Reduced dosage is the secret of real and safe relief from constipation. The right liquid laxative dose gives the right amount of help. When repeated, instead of more each time, you take less. Until bowels are moving regularly and thoroughly without any help at all. The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara, natural laxatives that form no habit — even in children. Its action is gentle, but sure. It will clear up a condition of billiousness or sluggishness without upset. Every druggist has it. Dr Caldwell's SYRUP PEPSIN Are Against Fire Danger Company In List of Follow Nearly Million On SERA Relief Rolls First Month in '35 Approximately 984,236 persons in California subsisted on SERA unemployment relief during January, David L. Bryant, state SERA statistician, estimated in a telegram to Corrington Gill, assistant FERA administrator. Bryant claimed this figure was based on conservative factors wherever alternative figures were utilized. Preliminary reports from the five largest California counties with 80 per cent of the unemployment relief case load were studied. An increase to approximately 255,000 cases during January was indicated. This is an increase of an additional 23,000 cases over December. In December 232,000 work relief cases involved 792,839 persons benefitted on the general unemployment relief program. Including dependents, the January case load means 879,750 persons were provided with SERA aid on the general work relief program. Motor Truck Takes Prominent Place In Hauling Vegetables The motor truck is steadily assuming greater importance as a carrier of fresh fruits and vegetables to California's leading terminal markets. This fact was revealed statistically in the annual unload reports for Los Angeles and San Francisco released by the federal state market news service, at the state department of agriculture. Truck receipts showed substantial gains at both markets during 1934 as compared with 1933. The reports also recorded decreases in previous years.

This fact was revealed statistically in the annual unload reports for Los Angeles and San Francisco released by the federal state market news service, at the state department of agriculture. Truck receipts showed substantial gains at both markets during 1934 as compared with 1933. The reports also recorded decreases in arrivals by rail during 1934. However, truck receipt gains more than offset rail declines and the total unloads of fresh fruits and vegetables by all carriers at both Los Angeles and San Francisco registered material gains in 1934 as compared with 1933. At Los Angeles, the increased employment of the truck as a transporter of fresh fruits and vegetables was particularly pronounced. Receipts by truck the equivalent of $8,000 cars more than arrived by the method last year. The major portion of truck receipts at Los Angeles originated in the Los Angeles local district, which includes Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Don't Fly DON'T FLY KITES near electric wires Kite-flying time always brings heaps of fun to thousands of boys and girls. But in past years, kite-flying has resulted in serious injury to a few whose kites came in contact with power-lines. Every boy and girl should know these 3 Safety Rules 1. Do not fly kites anywhere near electric wires. 2. Never use wire or tinsel cord, or cord that has become damp from rain or fog. 3. If cord is caught in power-line . . . let go! Do not pull it.
