IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain The Only Authentic History In Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 22, 1880 The scarcity of water has again resulted in a muddle between the Yorbas and the Anaheim Union Water company. About two weeks ago, during the absence of F. C. Hazen, who is superintendent of the company's main canals, and while the duties of said superintendent were being performed by a substitute the Yorbas had increased the flow of water in their ditch to 340 inches thereby reducing the amount of water in the upper ditch to almost nothing. This having been reported to the directors of the A. U. W. Co., they at their regular meeting on Saturday last, instructed the superintendent to turn into their ditch all the water except 125 inches to which the Yorba's are legally entitled. This resulted in the Yorbas cutting the dam and diverting from the river into their ditch a volume of 300 inches of water. The break in the dam was repaired by the superintendent and again broken by the Yorbas on the 17th inst. A committee appointed by the A. U. W. Co. proceeded on Thursday last to Los Angeles to get legal advice and take the necessary steps to establish indisputably their rights in the premises. It is hoped, however, that a satisfactory settlement may be arrived at without resorting to a long litigation to establish the respective rights of the contestants. Quite a number of campers are enjoying a vacation in the Santa Anaheim, Calif.

Howard was nominated for Justice of the Peace without opposition in Anaheim township and John Kellenberger for constable. 50 YEARS AGO The denizens of our town were awakened the other day to the fact that the game law prohibits the killing of deer was closed, thus the appearance of a fine laryngeal buck at Mr. Eichler's. It was brought in by John Bush of upper Santa Ana, who still keeps up his reputation as the foremost deceiver of our section. Daniel T. Mooney of San Monica was killed yesterday while driving to Los Angeles in company with his wife. He was in the act of passing a pistol to Mr. Mooney, when a jolt of the wagelance threw the weapon from his hand which falling to the seat exploded sending the bullet through his heart. Two or three of our vineyardists commenced this week crushing grapes. The hot spell just passed has caused the grapes to ripen very quickly and severely varieties are now ready for the crusher. Orangethorpe school will open on the first Monday in September next, Mrs. J. D. Metcalf being re-engaged as teacher. Brush fires have been raging in the mountains back of San Monica for some day. The hot spell just passed was caused probably to some extent by these fires. Mr. J. Yaeger has a fine lot of alfalfa hay for sale, all bales which he will sell in quantities suitable for suit. The furnace, boiler and other machinery of B. Dreyfus & Co were transferred from the old building to the new winery during the week and are being put in position. 25 YEARS AGO Wm. Rannow of the West End left on Tuesday for St. Paul for work on Sunday morning after leaving Anaheim township to attend a concert at La Salle Hall in Anaheim on August 8, 1935. A committee appointed by the A. U. W. Co. proceeded on Thursday last to Los Angeles to get legal advice and take the necessary steps to establish indisputably their rights in the premises. It is hoped, however, that a satisfactory settlement may be arrived at without resorting to a long litigation to establish the respective rights of the contestants. Quite a number of campers are enjoying a vacation in the Santiago canyon. There is plenty of dry feed for horses, and water in the creek is higher at the head than it has been for years. As for game, there is an abundance of quail, rabbits, wild cats, rattlesnakes, tarantulas and such things. The one disagreeable feature of a trip to the canyon is the bad condition of the roads which have been badly cut up by the coal and wood teams. If the state or county would purchase that part of the canyon known as the picnic grounds and spend a little money on beautifying them and improving the road the canyon would become one of the most popular summer resorts not only for picnickers but for campers as well. S. B. Smith has decently finished the erection of one of the celebrated "California" wind mills on the premises of T. J. House, three miles west of town. The completion of this mill will be the beginning of an era of prosperity for Mr. House, as he devotes his time principally to the culture of small fruits. Water from the ditches could not be had on his place, he being outside the limits of the irrigation district. Mr. Smith has also contracted with Mrs. Frohling for the erection of a mill on her premises known as the Hammes vineyards. The attention of the grape and fruit growers of the section has been repeatedly called to the damage done by bees, by those who have suffered from their depredations. The question of how to cope successfully with the little intruders met with a speedy solution the other day. Mr. Gooch, living near the depot, was called to Long Beach on a business and pleasure trip, and during his absence some person or persons went to his place, piled up and burned his bee-hives and even smoked some is nominated for governor at the direct primary.

Williams for County Clerk runs away from Krick. J. S. Howard was nominated for Justice of the Peace without opposition in Anaheim township and John Kellenberger for constable. The city council has decided to improve the short stretch of road on North Spadra street, just at the city limits. This is one of the main roads between Whittier, Los Angeles and this city, and has been allowed to get in bad shape. The bridge at the north limit of Spadra street will be repaired and straightened and the street regraded, repaired and oiled. Contractor Lagman has a force of mechanics employed upon the building being erected by Mrs. Konig, on South Los Angeles street, and which will be used as a modern electrical bathhouse. The structure will cost when completed, Mr. Lagman tells us about $5000 or $6000. R. Spoerl has let contract to O. Lagmen for the erection of a 44 foot front one story brick on his lot on West Center street. Work of demolition of the old frame structure now standing on the lot is in progress, and a force of mechanics will begin upon the new building early next week. Miss Josephine Yoch, who is now in Poland writes that the remains of the famous tragedienne, Madame Modjeska, were to be removed from the private vault where they have repossed, and given a place in the mausoleum where all the Polish celebrities rest. Solemn and impressive ceremonies were planned. Count Bozenta has entirely lost the sight of one eye and the other is affected with a cataract and he will not be able to attend the ceremonies. James Gow and Miss Annie Weaver, popular young people of this city were married at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Weaver, on Wednesday evening last. Rev. Markle officiated and a number of friends were present.

A Spaniard who lives in upper Santa Ana reports his section as suffering from a plague of rats. The animals have destroyed the greater part of his crop of green pepper, notwithstanding the fact that he has used poison very diligently. Rats and mice are also reported as doing great damage in the corn fields of Gospel Swamp. A telegram from San Francisco on Tuesday stating that the price of limes had suddenly advanced to fifty dollars a box caused quite a stir among our citrus fruit growers. The advances was due to a "combination" of commission merchants and will last only ten or twelve days when it is expected a steamer will arrive from Mexico with a cargo of the fruit. The decoration committee of Barrett's New United Monster railroad shows missed some of the fences and dead walls in their rounds last week, so they returned on Monday with another display of chromos.

Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lewis entertained the Four-Fours club on Wednesday at their home on Broadway.

Refreshments of salads and coffee, ice cream and cake were served during the evening. Mrs. Bever, wife of Miles E. Bever of West Anaheim, gave birth to triplets Friday night. The babies are three little girls. At birth two weighed 5½ pounds each and the other one 4½ pounds. They are all apparently well and sound. The mother is doing nicely.

The showing is in the form of a complete talking motion picture bringing out in detail all of the means by which Transamerica serves the territory in which its subsidiaries operate. "The motion picture is particularly significant," said John W. Grant, President, "because it is the first time that a financial institution has employed motion picture and sound equipment as a means of demonstrating its operation and setting forth its aims and purposes to the public. "The subject of banking is of growing public interest, and we believe that the people of Anaheim will be interested to learn from our picture how the largest bank in the West performs its services, and of the part that it plays in the development of the state as a whole. "The picture shows some interesting sidelights on what a financial institute is and does. For example, the motion picture industry of Hollywood is one of the features of the production. The film, 'Transamerica,' however, covers more territory than the field of banking. It is, in fact, a motion picture and sound portrait of the financial pattern of California and the West."

The people of Orange county owed a bonded debt for state, county, school, and district purposes of $114.79 for each man, woman, and child in the county, or a total of $13,872.147 as at June 30, 1934, according to a study of the state and local bonded debt of California counties, recently completed by California Taxpayers' association. Of the total per capita debt, $56.44 was for county and district bonds. Taxpayers of twelve California counties owed a bonded debt per capita for state and local government purposes of over $100. These counties were San Francisco, with a per capita debt of $274.94; Los Angeles, $170.63; San Diego, $164.41; Sacramento, $144.65; Riverside, $131.97; Colusa, $127.63; Orange, $114.79; Fresno, $110.18; Santa Barbara, $109.68; San Joaquin, $107.61; Contra Costa, $105.14; and Alameda, $102.77.

Only seven counties showed a bonded debt for state and local governments of less than $30 per capita. As at June 30, 1934, the association found, there were outstanding in California $891,700,220 of state, county, municipal, and district bonds. These figures, the association pointed out, do not include $80,000,000 of special assessment bonds, nor do they include $380,-000,000 of authorized but unissued county and municipal debt, $65,-000,000 worth of state bonds authorized but unsold, and $260,000,000 of revenue bonds. The sum of these actual and potential bonded debts is more than $1,400,000,000. Adds to those is California's political subwill have to be paid by payers of California," the tion declared.
