IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 28, 1885 For about a week there have been vague rumors about the presence of mysterious men in this town and Santa Ana. It was said that a number of detectives were shadowing a gang of men suspected of being the perpetrators of the various robberies in this vicinity and it was evident that a denoument was near at hand. It came yesterday morning between five and six o'clock when Sheriff Gard and two other officers drove into town from Santa Ana having as prisoners Jack Hendee and a man named Clark, whom they had arrested in Santa Ana during the night. Leaving their prisoners at the Anaheim hotel under guard one of the officers went a short distance into the country and soon returned with Frank R. Forker as a prisoner. The other officers went to the Planters hotel where they arrested two of the guests, Thomas Downs and R. M. Mackie. They then proceeded to the depot and took the five men to Los Angeles where they were placed in jail charged with robbery of a tailor's store and saloon at Santa Ana, the robbery of Mr. Hetebrink in North Anaheim and the robbery of H. N. Bras in the mountains northeast of town. Mr. C. E. French has resigned the office of postmaster at Santa Ana on account of ill health and inability to attend personally to the business of the office. A long petition for the appointment of Mr. Frank Chilton has been forwarded to Washington. Mr. French has recommended Mr. Chilton as his successor and it is the consensus of opinion that no better appointment could be made than that of Mr. Chilton. He will give satisfaction to every member of the community among whom he has lived for a number of years and by whom he is highly esteemed. A large company attended the social given on Tuesday last by the ladies of the Presbyterian church. An interesting programme of readings and recitations interspersed with instrutio Ana on account of ill health and inability to attend personally to the business of the office.

A large company attended the social given on Tuesday last by the ladies of the Presbyterian church. An interesting programme of readings and recitations interspersed with instrumental music, songs and gleees was rendered. The tables were laden with delicious salads, ice cream, strawberries, cakes and other delicacies. The hostess, Mrs. Yocum, and her assistants were ubiquitous, sparing no pains to render their guests happy, and were eminently successful in so doing, for which the ladies of the church wish to express their appreciation and thanks. About the greenest spot in the country today is the ostrich farm. Its broad acres of alfalfa, barley and vegetables are refreshingly verdant and everything about it has a remarkably thrifty appearance. This may be said also of the ostriches which are, literally in fine feather. The eleven surviving ostrichs which were hatched six or eight months ago are growing fast. They have already some valuable whit wing feathers. The enterprise never looked more promising than it does today. The Anaheim Union Water company has appointed a committee to secure the right of way for the extension of the new ditch, and it is presumed that when that has been secured the work of continuing the ditch to the reservoir will be immediately commenced. The company has also resolved to increase the capacity of the regulating reservoir on the upper ditch one-half so as to do away to a great extent with night irrigation. A recent shipment of 100 boxes of Florida oranges was made to Liverpool by a Cunard steamer. The oranges were large and had been carefully inspected and repacked. The number in a box, ranged from 96 to 148. The cost laid down in Liverpool was $3.75 a box. Advices have since been received that the shipment has been sold so that expenses had been cleared. The death of Gen. U. S. Grant is daily expected. In anticipation of that event the newspapers of New York have his obituary already stereotyped and in half an hour after the General's death the newsboys of that city will be selling black-bordered papers giving a sketch of the dead man's life and a condensed history of the civil war. That is what is called enterprise. Mrs. Whitney, wife of the Secretary of the Navy, created a social innovation by a Sunday evening dinner party in honor of Whitney, taking a place in Cleveland's cabinet. Thirty guests attended. Mrs. Whitney evidently needs praying for. Wednesday was the tenth anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hansen of North Anaheim, and his neighbors took advantage of the circumstance to remind them with suitable gifts that it was also their tin wedding. The result was that a very enjoyable evening was passed by a large company of friends and neighbors.

The report of the total freight movement by rail during 1884 to and from Los Angeles, has been received by the Board of Trade. It foots up 494,557,560 pounds. This compares with the two preceding years as follows: 1882—333,778,360 pounds; 1883—408,824,750 pounds. This year's business shows an increase of 87,732,810 over that of last. Col. E. E. Edwards of Santa Ana was in town on Wednesday. As the representative of this District at Sacramento, he is entitled to the thanks of his constituents for faithful work and earnest endeavor. He was popular with his fellow legislators and exerted great influence. Major Z. P. Clark of San Francisco, accompanied by his wife, visited friends in Anaheim on Wednesday and in viewing the ostrich farm and otherwise they passed a very pleasant day. The remains of S. L. King, a former resident of Garden Grove, who died at Calico in May, 1882, were removed and interred in Little Lake cemetery on Tuesday last. The Masonic Lodge of Downey had charge of the reburial. Miss Louisa Mooseman has just received the latest styles of hats and trimmings direct from New York, also a nice assortment of school hats with other millinery goods. The Riverside Press is moved to remark that the Anaheim Immigration Association has a Witte secretary. Yes: both Witte and Wise. A fire occurred in East Los Angeles on Saturday night in a building adjacent to the grocery store of Hanna & Wrenn. Then stock was damaged by water to the extent of about $800. The advertisement of Auerback Bros. of Los Angeles is commended to the attention of fruit growers and producers who desire the services of a reliable commission firm. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 24, 1910 According to a Sacramento letter Anaheim is credited with the expenditure of $3,843 for street improvements during the past fiscal year. This refers to the construction of cement sidewalks and curbing early in the year, little of such work having been done under the Vrooman Act here for nearly a year past. Nearly all of this character of work was done by private contract and the amount is probably $20,000. The paving of two miles of streets, at a cost of $50,000 does not appear, the figures having been taken from the annual report of State Controller Nye, which deals with work done under the Vrooman act exclusively, and makes no pretense of showing the actual amount expended on street work by municipalities. At least $50,000 more of the street paving will be done before the year is over, and similar work now being made ready under the Vrooman act will amount to several thousand dollars more. Instead of the paltry amount given in the letter as having been expended upon our streets during the past year, which would indicate that comparatively little was done, the amount actually expended is in the neighborhood of $75,000, and the work has only begun. The Board of City Trustees on Wednesday last awarded a contract to the Fairchild-Gilmore-Wilton company for paving Claudina street from Center to Broadway at 13½ cents. The charge for paving Center and Los Angeles was 12 cents. The advance is brought about so the paving company states, by the increased cost of material. A birthday party was given by Mrs. C. W. Martin at the family residence on Lemon street on Wednesday evening, the occasion being Mr. Martin’s birthday. Progressive whistle was played. The lady’s first prize went to Mrs. Fulwider and the consolation to Mrs. Marshall. The gentleman’s first prize was...

The Captain is one of the notable men at Bay City, and a visit to that point without a sail in his boat or a mess of cockies with him is not worth while. He has sailed the waters of both hemispheres and in his 72nd year is as spry a landsman who ever came down the pike. A stiff breeze, a wet sail and a sea that follows fast for Capt. Innerarity and his good ship, the City of Anaheim. John Eymann has sold ten acres at the corner of Citron and North streets to J. Dumke for $12,000. John will erect a new Raans Company of California.

Seaman, state president, and Mrs. Florence I. Kjorlle, state chairman of education of the federation. The memberships of the California Congress of Parents and Teachers, the American Legion, the Masonic order and other groups have already been requested by their respective leaders to join in the week's observance. The appeal to the membership of the Federation of Women’s Clubs is as follows: "In the interests of the conservation and development of human resources so that the highest point possible may be attained spiritually and mentally, through intelligent training and guidance, we, the California Federation of Women’s Clubs, in conjunction with other organizations, do hereby lend our support to the State-wide plans for the annual observance of Public Schools Week, April 8 to 15, 1935." "We would urge all club mothers to visit their schools during the week, and to cooperate with this very worthy observance in every way possible." Exhibits of work by students in various schools of the State will be a feature of the week's activities this year, according to the State committee in charge of the affair.

Prof. Fruh is in Soquel canyon for a week's outing and bathing in the sulphur springs for rheumatism. Ned Merritt is stationed at Mabel, on the Mojave desert with a party of railroad engineers.

Organization Is Formed By Liquor Industries In California Hook Says 30-Hour Work Week Would "Freeze" Wages Adoption of the Black 30-hour week bill would "freeze" wages of steel workers at an average of approximately $18.39 weekly, it was asserted by Charles R. Hook, Vice President of the National Association of Manufacturers, in an address presented in the Forum of Liberty program. Hook said efforts of the steel industry to retain a maximum of workers had necessitated a spread of work until wages during 1934 averaged the figure above mentioned, and that a 30-hour week by statute would render the steel companies powerless to increase the earnings of the individual worker, "defeating efforts to restore American living standards to the worker." WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE—WITHOUT CALOMEL And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to Go If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine. For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a tilda, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned. It takes those good, old CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely. But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red label.

Their investments have built an institution that operates 28 power generating plants and a network of transmission lines connected to half a million homes and factories, and extending over an area of fifty-five thousand square miles. These owners of the Southern California Edison Company have had an important part in the building of the southland during the past forty years. They will play an even more important part in the future. They have established a highly developed distribution system, without which Boulder Dam power could not enter Southern California until millions of dollars had been spent for lines and transformers. These lines are now ready. The Edison Company has laid its plans for Boulder Dam power. This addition releases surplus power from existing generating plants. This power is now available to every customer on our lines. Wholesale domestic rates are given to full-use customers who have electric ranges and electric water heaters. These rates reduce the cost of current to a point that makes the complete electrical home a real economy. The territory served by the Edison Company almost equals that of the entire New England area of five states. The Edison transmission and distribution network totaling more than 64,000 miles of wire would circle the earth two and one-half times.
