IN THE DAYS OF LOCATION 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 Oran 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 18, 1885 The weather has been more than ordinarily fickle during the past week. It rains; it didn't rain. It has been a week of sunshine; it has been a week of clouds. It has been as warm as in June; it has been as cold as in December. In short it has been a week of contradictions, of rainy promise, of disappointed expectations. It rained very heavily in Los Angeles on last Tuesday, for half an hour the rain came down in a deluge and for several hours it rained with respectable steadiness. It rained in streaks, and looking from the car windows on the road between here and Los Angeles the passengers could see dry dust and mushy mud alternate at a distance of a few miles apart. It rained heavily in the mountains and must have replenished the sources of water supply. Over ten years ago Mr. E. S. Saxton came to Anaheim from New York, and after staying here a sufficient length of time to assure himself that the climate was what he had been seeking for, he purchased some property, sent for his family, and built himself a beautiful home, which it was his pleasure and pride to care for. Until lately he has had remarkably good health but he had arrived at an age when he could no longer successfully combat with disease, and he died on Saturday night. He was honored of all men. His long life of usefulness was crowned by the respect and reverence of his neighbors and friends. We shall greatly miss the kindly old man who for years has been a welcome visitor to our office, and whose advice and counsel we always found profit in following. What ever of reward there may be in the unknown realm for a pure, useful and honorable life will surely be meted out without stint to the man whose death the whole community regrets. Mr. Saxton was aged 74 years. The public schools throughout the county will be closed next at an age when he could no longer successfully combat with disease, and he died on Saturday night. He was honored of all men. His long life of usefulness was crowned by the respect and reverence of his neighbors and friends. We shall greatly miss the kindly old man who for years has been a welcome visitor to our office, and whose advice and counsel we always found profit in following. What ever of reward there may be in the unknown realm for a pure, useful and honorable life will surely be meted out without stint to the man whose death the whole community regrets. Mr. Saxton was aged 74 years. The public schools throughout the county will be closed next week, as the law required the presence of every teacher at the Teachers' Institute which will be in session in Los Angeles. An unfounded report has gained currency that the Anaheim school is in the same predicament as the schools of Los Angeles city and will have to close for lack of funds. Such is not the fact however, and the schools will keep open ten months, as usual. The closing of Los Angeles schools has been averted. The Board of Education has sold a lot to the city for $12,000, which sum is sufficient to keep the schools open the usual time. The Board of Town Trustees held an adjourned meeting on Wednesday. The committee reported unfavorably upon the applications of Coquillett and Roberts for bridges. Mr. Konig was allowed $15, one-half of his expenditure on bridges. A petition asking for an appropriation in support of the Anaheim Immigration association was received, and the Board donated $300. After transacting some routine business the board adjourned. Col. J. G. Howard, the well-known lawyer of Los Angeles, delivered a lecture in that city last week on Aaron Burr, and in the course of his remarks he spoke scathingly of Blennerhassett, a contemporary of Burr. A descendant of that traduced ancient lives in Los Angeles, and a few days after the lecture he gave Col. Howard a pummeling for his temerity in criticizing his ancestor. For many years Fred Langenberger has been a sufferer from consumption and has been compelled to live a life of comparative isolation in the mountains. He died in Anaheim on Wednesday at the home of his father, whither he had been brought a few days previously. He was a young man of great promise and we know of no one who was held in greater esteem by his companions and intimates. May he rest in peace. A fire in Los Angeles on last Saturday night destroyed two dwelling houses on Fort Street, owned by Mrs. Mullaly and Miss Sailer, and caused a loss of $8000, which was partly covered by insurance. The fire is supposed to have been caused by the explosion of a coal oil lamp. Arthur Auerbach of London, has arrived in Los Angeles. He is going to join his brother in business under the firm name of Auerbach Bros. Both gentlemen are the sons of the well-known senior of the house of S. & T. T. Auerbach of London. The advertisement of the firm is published in the Gazette. (Auerbach Bros. were proprietors of a wholesale and commission house dealing in green and dried fruits, honey, etc.)—Ed.* Mr. Chas. Wille has received a carload of cooper's material, and is now prepared to fill all orders for casks, tanks and pipes at Arthur Auerbach of London, has arrived in Los Angeles. He is going to join his brother in business under the firm name of Auerbach Bros. Both gentlemen are the sons of the well-known senior of the house of S. & T. T. Auerhach of London. The advertisement of the firm is published in the Gazette. (Auerbach Bros. were proprietors of a wholesale and commission house dealing in green and dried fruits, honey, etc.—Ed.) Mr. Chas. Wille has received a carload of cooper's material, and is now prepared to fill all orders for casks, tanks and pipes at the very lowest rates consistent with the good workmanship for which he has acquired a most enviable reputation. The sidewalk to the depot is a marked improvement and gives a metropolitan tone to the town. When it becomes hardened it will be a favorite promenade. The work has been well done by Sorenson and Hill, the contractors, and the city dads could not do better than to extend the sidewalks to other parts of town. An elegant music box, valued at $150 will be raffled at the jewelry store of R. Luedke as soon as the tickets are sold. 200 chances at 50 cents a chance. you are invited to call and see the box. Ninety-five cents on the dollar has been offered for the bonds of the Riverside Water Company, interest to commence of January 1, 1885. The directors of the company will probably accept this proposition. The Laguna Beach camping site has been leased by Harris Bros. of Orange. They propose to make that charming resort more popular and attractive this season than it has been heretofore. Mr. McDermont of Orangethorpe raises the largest and best sweet potatoes in the county. Those who wish to endeavor to excell him will find the potatoes on sale in Newbold's store. The County Superintendent of Schools has appointed W. M. Higgins School Trustee of the Anaheim school district, vice C. E. Leonard, removed from the district. The removal of the dwelling house of Mr. Backs has been the most interesting event of the week on Los Angeles street. It will look very sightly on its new site. W. M. McFadden has gone to San Francisco as a delegate to the Grand Council O. C. F. OF LONG AGO A Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 14, 1910 The hottest political fight in the recent history of the city was culled off Monday, when the regular biennial municipal contest held the boards. C. O. Rust and Max Nebelung were elected trustees and C. L. Becker and W. P. Quarton tied for third place, each receiving 203 votes. Rust received 227 votes and Nebelung 109. E. B. Merritt was re-elected city clerk, he had no opposition. Charley Boege defeated Frank Shanley for treasurer by a majority of 76 votes. One of the hottest fights of the day was between R. U. Simpson and N. F. Steadman for city marshal. The latter was held the office for 18 years and the contest was close. Simpson namely winning by a vote of 238 to 214. The tie between Becker and Quarton will be trotted off at a special election to be called after on. Mr. Melrose some days ago tendered Gov. Gillett his resignation as trustee of the Los Angeles normal school to which he was some years ago appointed by Gov. Pardee. He gives as his reasons herefor this increasing private business which renders it impossible to longer serve on the board. The Los Angeles normal school and its site will shortly be sold by the state and a new building erected upon another site. An offer of $550,000 has been received for the property. Miss Poapst, sister of Mrs. Dr. Beebe, this week collected and turned over to Mrs. Jester the sum of $65, which was collected by her for the benefit of Charles Jester, the lad bitten by a mad dog month ago. Dr. Beebe was called and after treating the boy's sound took him to Los Angeles and had him treated by Dr. Chambers of the Pasteur hospital. Dr. Beebe remitted his own charges and succeeded in getting Dr. Chambers to reduce the dual charge of $100 for the Pasteur treatment to $50. The total expense incurred by the lad was $65. Anne Breger Heads Beach B. P. W. Club At a meeting of the Newport Beach Business and Professional Woman's club held in the Balboa Cafe, last Thursday night, Miss Anne Berger was selected to head the Beach club for the ensuing year, succeeding Mrs. Helen Elder. A tentative plan was set to hold the annual dinner dance of the club on May 10, and the new president announced that she would appoint a committee immediately to care for the details. Planning Snail Control Session Tuesday, April 9 In response to the considerable interest in small control at the present time, an orchard demonstration showing methods of controlling this pest will be held next Tuesday, April 9, 2:00 p.m., according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. The past season with its prolonged cool and damp weather has been ideal for the propagation and spread of the small pest. Infestations have been found in many parts of the county, attacking various crops. It has become a problem not only of the orchard and field but also the garden. The standard treatment for small control is the use of poisoned bait, such as bran mash mixed with calcium arsenate. These materials are mixed dry at the rate of one part calcium arsenate to 16 parts of wheat bran and then enough water added to make a moist but not wet mash. The agricultural commissioner's office which is in charge of pest control in the county, has made available at cost a supply of the poisoned mash for the Miss Poapst, sister of Mrs. Dr. Beebe, this week collected and turned over to Mrs. Jester the sum of $65, which was collected by her for the benefit of Charles Jester, the lad bitten by a mad dog month ago. Dr. Beebe was called and after treating the boy's wound took him to Los Angeles and had him treated by Dr. Chambers of the Pasteur hospital. Dr. Beebe remitted his own charges and succeeded in getting Dr. Chambers to reduce the usual charge of $100 for the Pasteur treatment to $50. The total expense incurred by the lad was $65. Clinton Briggs, recently arrived from British Columbia, has purchased the Thomas Ahern 35-acre place east of town for a consideration of $17,000. Mr. Briggs is on old-time friend of W. Elliott who met him in Long Beach and persuaded him to visit his section. He liked the section so well that he resolved to locate and purchase Mr. Ahern's fine ranch. Mr. Briggs will return north to settle up his business affairs and will return here in the year future. The third and deciding game of baseball between Stanford and U. C. was played at Berkeley on Saturday and resulted in a victory for the former by a score of 8 to 3. Up to the last half of the ninth the score stood 3 to 2 in favor of Berkeley.

RITCHIE & CO., Inc. 40 East 84th Street, New York, N.Y. Must File Applications This Week For Corn-Hog Contracts, Says W. M. Cory Allocrn-hog contract applications are to be filed this week, according to W. M. Cory, Assistant Farm Advisor. Producers who grew corn and raised hogs in 1932 or 1933 or in both years, he said, are eligible to sign the 1935 contract, provided their farrowlings in 1934 equalled 25 percent of the average of their litters for those two years, or provided further they produced for the market in 1934 at least 25 percent of their base production exclusive of feeders purchased. An extra provision is added in the 1935 contract, to guarantee that only those farmers shall be eligible to sign the agreement who have not retired from hog production, by requiring participants in the adjustment program to prove they planted in 1934 or in 1935 at least 25 percent of their base corn acreage. "Corn-hog farmers of Orange County are again being offered a voluntary control program for holding their production in line with effective demand, and for sharing in the resulting benefits," says Cory. "This course of action was endorsed by ya two-thirds majority of the producers of the nation who voted in the October referendum, and is warranted by the current economic outlook." As was the case last year, the 1935 corn and hog program will be administered by the producers themselves through their own County Corn-Hog Production Control Association, dealing direct with the Secretray of Agriculture.
