However, to the Kraemer Pio-neer Ranch at Placentia goes the vote so far. The Gazette has been a visitor in this home for nearly 65 years. Here's the letter received from Renj. Kraemer: Placentia, July 27, 1935. Anaheim Gazette, I have just read an article in your paper as to how long people have subscribed for the Gazette. I will state Daniel Kraemer subscribed for the Gazette in 1870 and it has been received by the Kraemer Pioneer Ranch continuously ever since. A period of about 65 years and I have always enjoyed reading it and I consider it the best weekly paper in the county. Yours respectfully. BENJ. KRAEMER. Second on the list so far is H. D. Strdthoff of North Lemon street who has been a subscriber for the past 50 years. Also in the 50 year class is B. F. Porter, who lives on Orangethorpe Road in Fullerton. Closely following that according to the reports so far is the Peter Wisser family who, according to their statement, "have enjoyed the Gazette since 1887" a period of 48 years. Ernest DuBois, president, presided at the meeting and stated that the city council was anxious to get the reaction of the business men regarding the contemplated establishment of the park and explained the proposal to the assembly. On motion the endorsement of the association as given the project. Ray Smith was introduced to the meeting and he explained the forthcoming observance of Armistice day. "We have always had the support of the merchants of Anaheim and, after al lit is your show. The American Legion wants to get your reaction on some of the points especially that of whether or not we should have a noon parade or an evening parade. We feel that the old argument regarding the closing, while we have always enjoyed the complete support of the merchants here, could be settled this way, we also believe that an evening parade will enable 'the stores to remain open until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon and then these employed will have an opportunity to get home and back for the parade. There is one point however, we must insist on and that is the two minute observance at 11 o'clock in the morning. That is something that none of us who witnessed the termination of the war can forget and we urge all citizens to pause in memory of those that remained." E. M. Keath suggested to the chair that the matter be laid over to the next meeting and the entire meeting be given over to a discussion of what the merchants should do and have it settled for once and for all. His suggestion was accepted by the chair and membership and such was the disposition of the matter. Dr. Walter Bigham, chairman of the city and county planning commission was then introduced to the meeting and he explained the proposed plan of the commission regarding the routing of highways through the city. He explained the facts relative to locating highways and the reason for such locations and he made a plea to the business men that they evidence an interest in what the commission was trying to do for the city. He illustrated his talk with a blue print of the planning commission's plan and told that the plan was still in the making and Placentia, July 27, 1935.

President K. B. Rigby announced the plan of the city officials and civic leaders in the beautifying of the northern approach of the city. He stated that he believed the move to be a good one and asked for opinions of members. Dr. Herbert Johnston told of a plan he had some few years ago to sell the city a piece of property at a very nominal figure for the purpose of establishing a civic center. "The council at that time did not believe it to be a good idea and turned down the proposition. However, now the same property has increased greatly in value. I believe this will be the same story and I also believe the park site should by all means be taken over." Others expressed a similar opinion. James Sutherland was chairman in charge of the program for the meeting and he introduced Miss Madeline Paxton who rendered a number of piano-accordion solos which were well received and appreciated by the clubmen and guests.

This event started a land boom which affected all of Southern California. VINES DESTROYED In 1883 the phyloxera destroyed all the grape vines in this section and wine making ceased, after having been the leading industry here since the inception of the Colony, in 1861. The real estate boom lasted until 1888 and then subsided. Many people were caught short of cash, and a panic started. There was a real depression for several years. This southland was hard hit. ORANGES STARTED People in this section began raising oranges, and that industry grew in great volume. Walnuts and other fruits were raised and business picked up wonderfully. Anaheim grew rapidly and merchants did a thriving trade. Orange growers made money, some receiving a thousand dollars net per acre from the fruit. People speculated in orange groves and they sold for fancy prices ranging from three to eight thousand dollars per acre. ABUNDANT WATER This section has an abundant water supply for irrigation, coming from the Santa Ana River, secured by riparian rights which were established by the highest courts years ago and remain unimpaired to this day. In the earlier years, heated disputes among the various sections arose as to the using of water from the river, and at one time, an armed guard was kept at the division gates to protect the rights of this section. The earlier settlers were determined men and would stand for no foolishness when their water supply was encroached upon. TOWNSITES START At the height of the land boom, townsites were laid out all over the valley, extending up into the foetthill regions and going south to the ocean frontage. Some speculators were so ambitious that their townsites were covered with water when the tides came in.

Some speculators were so ambitious that their townsites were covered with water when the tides came in. INDIANS HELP Wine making here held the fort for many years. Indians from the Pala reservation came here to pick grapes and assist in the hauling and crushing of the grapes. GOOD BUSINESS TOWN Anaheim was always a good business town because the merchants gave their customers a square deal, and the city now is rated as one of the best modern towns in Southern California. STREET CAR LINE In the early 80's a street car line was operated on Center Street connecting the Santa Fe Railroad depot on East Center with the Southern Pacific Station at West Anaheim. At one time local men organized a company to extend the line to what is now Yorba Linda. The purpose was to later build the line to Pomona. But when the boom subsided the venture was abandoned.

These views are quoted as purely personal and should not be construed as coming from the organizations which they represent: Mayor Charles Mann—"I do not believe I should make any statement because of my position, however, personally, I think it a very good idea. The public calls for larger park facilities and at this time plans can be worked out and the city can save money. I do think now is the time to do it while conditions are favorable." Judge Frank Tausch—(President of the Chamber of Commerce)—"I am heartily in favor of it. It is something that really should be done to take care of the appearance of the entrance to the city, and under the present deal it is quite favorable." E. M. Keath, (vice-president of the C. of C. and Manager of J. C. Peaney Store)—"Well, I think it is a good idea. Of course, it is up to the city dads to make the right kind of a deal, but I do believe it is a very good move." K. B. Rigby, (president of the Rotary Club and local agent of Standard Oil Co.)—"Speaking from a purely personal standpoint, I think it a splendid idea. We should build for the future as well as the present." H. E. W. (Doc) Barnes (Stroup-Barnes Furniture Co.)—"Yes, I think it is a very fine idea. Much credit is due those responsible. It should have been done a long time ago and the sooner it is done now the better off Anaheim will be." J. A. Morgan (Manager of Elks Club)—"I think it a very good thing. The city can't have too many parks. It will dress up that end of town and you know the first impression is lasting." Dr. Herbert Johnston, (Johnston Clinic)—"Yes, I am in favor of it. The city would be doing wisely in acquiring the property at this time." Leo Friis (Attorney)—"It would be nice to have a park there, and improve the appearance of the north end of town."

Victor Loly, (Loly & Jensen)—"Yes, I am very much in favor of it. I think it is an outstanding opportunity." Robert Easton, (Pomegranate Dairy), President Kiwanis Club—"It is a fine thing. The City is out-growing the other park and under the present plan it would make a fine location for a ball park. It is not necessary to make any heavy expenditures at present, but we should take advantage of the opportunity." Ernest Dubois, (Dutch Boy Paint) President M. & M. Assn.—"I think it is the best opportunity the City has had presented to them, and if they don't take advantage of it they are losing a good bet. It will improve the interest in Anaheim one hundred percent." New City Clerk Named at Laguna Edward H.
