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 14, 1885 The Directors of the A. U. W. company have had several special meetings during the past week to devise a way to bring more water to the northern part of the district. As a result of a conference with the Yorba irrigators on Wednesday, the Directors met on Thursday evening and adopted the following: Whereas, The owners of the so-called Yorba ditch have agreed to permit this company to enlarge the capacity of the ditch and use it for four years and as a consideration this company agrees to deliver to the irrigators of Yorba district 250 inches of water, and to put in all necessary distributing gates, build necessary bridges and keep ditches in repair, said irrigators to pay this company at the rate of 10 cents per head of 125 inches for day water and 5 cents per head for night water, and whereas Marcos Yorba, administrator, has granted the right of way for a ditch across the lands of the estate of Trindad Yorba, deceased; Therefore, Resolved, That the superintendent be and he is hereby instructed to proceed immediately to widen said ditch and lay out and construct the new ditch to connect with the Farmers' ditch at the reservoir. In accordance with this resolution work will begin probably today, or as soon as it is possible to get a force of men together. Mr. Hazen has been relieved of the work heretofore done by him, and his duties now are to patrol the Cajon ditch and see that it is kept full of water as it can convey with safety. The name of the President of the Common Council of Los Angeles ought to be familiar to other public functionaries in that city, but it appears that it isn't. A 'letter sent from Anaheim addressed to "Ed Miles, Los Angeles," was held in that city, advertised, uncalled for, sent to the dead letter office at Washington, and was returned here to the writer a few days ago. An explanation may be found in the fact that it is not considered in form to address the President of the Council as "Ed," but down here time is scarce, dignity is at a discount and abbreviated.

A letter sent from Anaheim addressed to "Ed Miles, Los Angeles," was held in that city, advertised, uncalled for, sent to the dead letter office at Washington, and was returned here to the writer a few days ago. An explanation may be found in the fact that it is not considered in form to address the President of the Council as "Ed," but down here time is scarce, dignity is at a discount and abbreviations are popular. Will the new regime at the Los Angeles post office bear in mind that whenever a letter is received bearing the Anaheim postmark, and addressed like the one referred to above, it is intended for D. E. Miles? A daring robbery was committed in Riverside on Tuesday night. A party of burglars first stole a truck from a neighboring stable and, tools from a blacksmith shop and with these proceeded to the store of Emil Rosenthal. They placed planks across the sidewalk, broke open the door of the store, brought out the heavy safe and placed it on the truck. They then drove to the Santa Ana river a mile away and exploded the safe securing $400 in coin and $400 in U. S. bonds. A large amount of money belonging to Wells, Fargo and company which had been received that day was overlooked in the private office. Gen. Phineas Banning, of Wilmington, died in San Francisco, on the 8th instant. He had been in that city for some months under medical treatment. In 1883, while on a visit to San Francisco, he was injured by being run over by a street car, and he never fully recovered from the accident. Gen Banning occupied a prominent position in the early history of this county and was better known than any other man in it. The body was brought to Wilmington and interred there on Thursday afternoon. Somebody in the office of the State Board of Equalization has developed a peculiar interest in the Sultana variety of grape. Printed on the assessment blanks is a request of statistics regarding the number of acres of growing grape vines classified as follows: For table, for wine, for raisins, Sultana. It is a good way to bring the merits of the Sultana grape, if it has any, into prominence. The ladies of the Episcopal church will open an ice cream parlor today at noon in the building on Center street, east of the Anaheim hotel, which was formerly used as an ice cream parlor. The parlors will be open all afternoon and in the evening, and it is hoped that everybody, their wives, children, etc., will drop in early and often and partake of refreshments. Really good oranges, such as those recently shipped from here by W. M. McFadden, find a ready sale in San Francisco at $4 per box. This was the result of Mr. McFadden's shipment of navel oranges, and his pleasant experience has been the lot of other shippers of equally fine oranges. The following telegraphic paragraph from Washington is of local interest: Henly, Tarpey, Foote and English called upon Secretary Bayard today, and urged the appointment of Newmark of Los Angeles, as Consul at Lyons.

The following telegraphic paragraph from Washington is of local interest: Henly, Tarpey, Foote and English called upon Secretary Bayard today, and urged the appointment of Newmark of Los Angeles, as Consul at Lyons. Mr. Bayard did not promise them anything in return, but told them that Mr. Newmark's claims would be considered. The alliterative parson, Dr. Burchard of New York, has been retired by his congregation who desired a younger and more energetic pastor. He apparently reached the climax of his career when he hit upon that unhappy phrase—Rum, Romanism and Rebellion. If an election should be held in California today the Republicans would have an overwhelming victory. There are very few Democrats left in the state. They are all in Washington on a hunt for office. The grape growers of Napa county are beginning to be troubled in mind regarding the probability of frost, as the vines are blooming early and will be in a condition to be badly nipped at the date when frost may be expected. Another company has been formed in New York for the purpose of aerial navigation, with a capital stock of $100,000. Experiments will be made with Peterson's sectional airship. Thieves broke into the tinshop of Mr. Bennerscheidt the other night, smashed a cash drawer and were rewarded with thirty cents. This, with half a box of cigars, was all the loot. The police force of Los Angeles made forty-one arrests on Tuesday, the alleged criminals being gamblers, thieves and drunks. Los Angeles is a very, very, very wicked city. Prof. Hinton, county superintendent of schools was in town on Tuesday. It will be remembered that a couple of weeks ago the Professor died of small-pox (in the newspapers). The Los Angeles postoffice is now presided over by John W. Green, the new postmaster. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only mems of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 10, 1910 The Trustees of Anaheim school district met Wednesday evening, March 2, all members were present. For the regular election of school trustee, which takes place on Friday, April 1, the following were appointed to serve as an election board: J. B. Rea, F. C. Rimpau and V. U. Simpson. Polls at Central school building will be open from 8 o'clock a.m. until sundown. Max Nebelung was appointed census marshal. Spring vacation was set to begin March 18 and school will re-open on March 28. It being reported that the clock at the Katella school house has a chronic trouble, requiring it to be too much of the time in the hospital, the clerk was instructed as a matter of economy to purchase a new timepiece. A committee from the Parent-Teachers association consisting of Mrs. Otto Storm, Mrs. C. E. Holcomb, Mrs. F. A. Backs sr., and Mrs. Wm. Falkenstein, attended the meeting and presented a petition requesting the calling by the trustees of an election for a bond issue of $10,000—or any amount necessary—the money to be used for the purchase of additional playgrounds. The ladies were championed by Otto Storm and Professor Tople. It was explained by Mrs. Storm that the children now have no place to play evenings, on Saturday and during vacations except the streets and that the grounds are absolutely necessary, also that a supervisor should be employed by the school district during the entire year to care for the school grounds and teach the children to play properly. Los Angeles, Pasadena and Stockton were cited as examples in the various lines of taking care of the children. President Clabaugh stated that within two or three years it will be necessary to call an election for a bond issue of fifteen to twenty thousand dollars for the present buildings now being occupied to their full capacity. After discussion by trustees, Chambers, and Schwenckert and others present the motion was made to table the petition until the next regular meeting. Urges Parents To Learn Importance of Baby Campaign Special Agent In Charge of "Register Your Baby" Stresses Benefits Thousands of parents throughout California have overlooked the great importance of the "Register Your Baby" campaign which has been running for several weeks as a joint project of the federal bureau of the census, the California emergency relief administration and the state department of health. Walter B. Carter, U. S. special agent, announces. Only 33,355 cards out of a potential 75,229 have been received at Sacramento for checking against state birth registration records. "Parents should look upon the check on birth registration from the standpoint of its importance to their children," said Carter. There are many requirements in life for certified copies of birth certificates; these certificates can not be obtained from the state health department unless the births have been previously registered. Certificates will be necessary in future federal and state social security legislation, also to show legitimacy and the right to inheritability; they are used as proof of the right to vote and to marry, and many other things. It is such a simple matter to fill out the cards which have been sent to every family in California and drop them in the nearest mail box without postage that no parent should delay an instant. "The service which is offered to the parents costs nothing and will perhaps prove of great benefit to the children in later life," said Mr. Carter. Parents President Clabaugh stated that within two or three years it will be necessary to call an election for a bond issue of fifteen to twenty thousand dollars for the present buildings now being occupied to their full capacity. After discussion by trustees, Chambers, and Schwenckert and others present the motion was made to table the petition until the next regular meeting. With registration for the city election closed, and the books showing a total of 385 on the new roll, City Clerk Merritt predicts that the number of votes at next month's municipal election will exceed 600. Two years ago the total vote cast was 572, and it is believed that more than 100 voters have been added to the roll. City Clerk Merritt has registered 164 voters since the first of the year and Joseph Helmsen 221. Many voters have registered elsewhere. A number having done so at the County Clerk's office in Santa Ana. The Newbert protection district is divided as to the width of the proposed channel to be built by the district. Engineer Kellogg declares the channel should not be less than 600 feet. At a meeting of the directors M. A. Menges declared 300 feet would do. Then the matter was continued to March 14. No bids were received for the district's $49,950 bonds offered for sale. The seventh and eighth grades of the Grammar school united Monday to observe Arbor, Bird, and Burbank day. A tree donated by the seventh grade was planted. A sealed bottle containing the names of the pupils of the seventh grade of 1910 was buried under the tree. Tim Carroll kindly donated two beautiful trees which were planted at the primary school. Hon. Phil A. Stanton of Bay City, candidate for the republican nomination for governor, entertained a number of country editors at luncheon at the Jonathan club on Tuesday. The scribes were invited by Mr. Stanton to be his guests and to have a little political talk with him. About thirty responded and a delightful afternoon was spent with the next governor of the state. Arthur Letts presided at table and brief addresses were made by Judge Bordwell, Mr. Cochrane, Mr. Bowen and several newspaper men. Mr. Stanton spoke at length of his public career and made an excellent impression upon the newspaper men. A. I. Stewart was over from Fullerton on Saturday night taking his first degree in the newly formed K. P. Lodge. Mr. Stewart will shortly formally announce his candidacy for the Republican nomination, for assessor, and will inaugurate an energetic campaign throughout the county. Clyde Bishop was over from the county seat a few days ago casting the political horoscope. He may decide to enter the race for the assembly, and if he does he will make the fur fly at Squirrel Hollow. Don David Yorba is building a handsome cobblestone residence at Esperanza. Rumors have it that Don David has his eye on a pretty widow and that he will shortly turn his back upon Clyde Bishop was over from the county seat a few days ago casting the political horoscope.

Rumors have it that Don David has his eye on a pretty widow and that he will shortly turn his back upon bachelorhood. Pon quidado, Dave. Tom Wilkie was in from the oil wells on Saturday afternoon. He reports business lively at the wells, and states six new strings of tools will be put in commission this week. Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana was in town on Saturday afternoon attending a meeting of the Ebell. Mrs. Lawton is prominent in club and society circles at the county seat, and after the meeting was a guest of friends in town. She returned home on the evening train. Tom Hollingworth had triplets at his home the other day. His goat heard that the census man was coming and added three little goatees to the flock. Johnny Walls returned from Elsinore Springs with a bad cold. Says he drank too much water. "The stork left a bright-baby boy at the home of Wm. F. Cowan on Saturday last. Fred is wearing a broad smile and handing out the cigars. F. A. Yungbluth, Herman Dickel, R. Melrose, I. Asher, H. H. Hale and Fred West were Los Angeles bound guests on Tuesday. James Forbes, a prominent orange grower of Placentia was in town on Tuesday on a business mission. John Hahn went to Santa Ana yesterday to get his petition for supervisor into shape for circulation. Foggy mornings have replaced the recent dry weather and weather prophets say rain is in sight. "Christ Jesus" Is Topic for Sermon "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." These words of Paul to the Colossians are the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "Christ Jesus" on Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The Lesson-Sermon includes the verses from the Gospel of John: "Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him." Among the passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, are the statements: "Jesus taught the way of life by demonstration, that we may understand how this divine Principle heals the sick, casts out error, and triumphs over death. Jesus presented the ideal of God better than could any man whose origin was less spiritual."

BANK of AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST & SAVINGS ASSOCIATION HE GAS TO COOK YOUR MEAL COSTS AN THE MAYONNAISE ON YOUR SALAD Only your most insignificant household expenses compare with your gas cooking bill. For instance, a small amount of mayonnaise costs more than the gas to cook your entire dinner. The average expenditure for cooking, by nearly a million users of gas in this region, is about 1 cent per meal per family. It is well to remember that natural gas is efficient, clean, and exceedingly economical for cooking and water heating, as well as for refrigeration. SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY
