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 29, 1885 The climatic contrast between parts of Minnesota and parts of California is best illustrated in the statement that at the time the thermometer ranged from 90 degrees upwards in this state, a killing frost occurred in Minnesota, causing the people of the frozen territory to leave in large numbers in search of a warmer clime. Excessive heat is far from pleasant but it is preferable to wintry cold in the summer time. "Heat is life and cold is death." The state board of equalization has a high opinion of the value of property in this county. Twice have they increased the valuation over the appraisement of the county assessor, and they have given formal notice to the Board of Supervisors that they propose to increase the entire assessments roll for the present year, except money credits and mortgages. Arguments against the proposed increases will be heard Sept. 2. The employes of the late firm of C. J. Hawley & Co, San Francisco, having decided not to remain with the new firm, can be found hereafter with Goldberg, Bowen & Co., 428 to 432 Pine Street. Among these is Murdock Henry brother of Alexander H. AUGUST 25-1910 Complaint is made of the poor condition of roads leading into Anaheim from the north and east. While attention seems to have been given the roads in other districts the thoroughfares referred to are full of chuck holes and in many places in wretched condition. The attention of supervisor Linebarger is directed to the matter with the request that he give the roads which are heavily traveled proper attention. The newly organized hospital association has in view several building sites, and a selection will probably be made in a few days. The hospital building will cost $12,000, the equipment $5000, and the entire cost will represent an investment of $20,000. The hospital will be one of the best in Southern California, and will be fitted with all the latest appliances in thoruoghly first class manner. The paving company on Monday completed paving West Center street from Citron to Palm and are this week grading from Citron to Adams, which will also be paved. The company has two months work ahead of it, or completion of which it is said a portion of Lemon street will be paved. The company goes from here to Santa Ana when it has secured a large contract for paving. OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF PROCEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISOR OF ORANGE COUNTY Santa Ana, Calif.

Hawley & Co, San Francisco, having decided not to remain with the new firm, can be found hereafter with Goldberg, Bowen & Co., 428 to 432 Pine Street. Among these is Murdock Henry, brother of Alexander Henry, formerly a resident of our vicinity, who was in our midst last week on a visit. Mr. Henry has a flourishing vineyard in the forty acres he bought of G. G. Greeley about two years ago. There is a probability of his returning shortly to Anaheim to remain permanently. There is a drunken, indecent and disgusting element in Los Angeles which chooses Sunday as the time and Santa Monica as the place for its revels. The popularity of that resort is suffering as a consequence. It is a pity but the remedy is not apparent. This is a free country and the citizens thereof may go whither-soever they list. There is to be a glove fight to a finish in Los Angeles tonight between Jack Dempsey and Billy Manning, provided it is not interfered with by the authorities. There is ample law for preventing the meeting, but the innate cussiness with which even law officers are imbued will probably allow the fight to come off. At a meeting of the leading wine-makers of Los Angeles on Thursday the following schedule of prices for grapes was adopted: Nine dollars per ton for muscats, about ten or eleven for lowland and upland missions and thirteen dollars for choice foreign varieties. The general idea that circus people are an improvident lot is not sustained by the action of the employees of Barrett's circus. They received their weekly pay in Anaheim on Monday, and the majority of them immediately dispatched it to their homes. The Directors of the A. U. W. Co. and the S. A. V. I. Co. will meet in conference at Orange today at 2 o'clock. They will discuss the unlawful appropriations of water from the Santa Ana river, and endeavor to decide upon a plan to prevent them.

The company has two months work ahead of it, or completion of which it is said a portion of Lemon street will be paved. The company goes from here to Santa Ana when it has secured a large contract for paving. The weather has been sultry for some days past on account of rains in Arizona. Tuesday evening a welcome bank of fog rolled in, and yesterday the weather was cooler. B. F. Porter came up on Monday morning from Newport Bay, where he is sojourning with his family for the summer. After attending to various business matters he returned to the beach in the evening. Mr. Porter has recently purchased 42 acres on Oranghethorpe avenue, across the way from his home place, and this he has set to Valencia oranges. He states walnuts will be a lighter crop in his section than for years. Philip A. Stanton, Jacob Transve and M. P. Magly the latter gentleman from New York City, were in town on Tuesday afternoon, having come up from Bay City where they are spending a few days after the arduous duties of the campaign. Mr. Stanton takes his defeat for the governorship philosophically and stands for the republican state ticket from governor to constable. He called upon a number of friends in town and later proceeded with his party to his home at Bay City. Pierre Nicolas died at a Los Angeles hospital on Saturday, aged 65 years. He had been ill for some time at his home in Fullerton and on Friday was taken to Los Angeles, where he passed away the following day. Funeral services were held in Los Angeles on Tuesday interment being made in Calvary Cemetery. Pierre Nicolas was a pioneer of the section in which he had located forty years ago. He was for many years engaged in the sheep business and amassed a fortune. He was the owner of valuable property in Orange and Los Angeles counties. He was the father of Mrs. Marie Stern, Mrs. Louise Fighiera, Mrs. Agnes Fuller, Mrs. Virginia Miles, Pierre Nicolas Jr., The Directors of the A. U. W. Co. and the S. A. V. I. Co. will meet in conference at Orange today at 2 o'clock. They will discuss the unlawful appropriations of water from the Santa Ana river, and endeavor to decide upon a plan to prevent them. Rabbi Edelman who has been the spiritual guide of the Israelites in Los Angeles since 1862 has resigned his position and will next month remove to Portland Oregon. So badly is the city of Los Angeles infested with tramps, thieves and burglars that a number of special officers have been sworn in to keep watch and ward. A wine depot has been established at San Diego by Peter Eschelbach of Santa Ana, and the Sun Chronicles the arrival of twelve carloads of wine as a starter. The Anaheim Immigration Association has effected the following sale: Dr. W. M. Higgins to R. Luedke, 40 feet fronting on Center street $700. Mr. Luedke will, as soon as his plans can be perfected, begin the erection of a business building, and thus add a solid improvement to the town. The shipment of malvoise grapes made from Anaheim to Eastern markets some weeks ago arrived in poor condition and the profits will probably be small. Such is the tenor of the dispatch Pierre Nicolas was a pioneer of the section in which he had located forty years ago. He was for many years engaged in the sheep business and amassed a fortune. He was the owner of valuable property in Orange and Los Angeles counties. He was the father of Mrs. Marie Stern, Mrs. Louise Fighiera, Mrs. Agnes Fuller, Mrs. Virginia Miles, Pierre Nicolas Jr., and Miss Claire and Paul Nicolas. Deceased was a native of Ancelle, Haute Alps, France, and was born on April 5, 1845. Many thefts of poultry have been reported of late, and an organized gang of thieves has been in operation in various parts of Orange county for many months past. Last Saturday night fifty chickens were stolen from John Hanna's barnyard at Miraflores. Mr. Hanna heard no commotion among the chickens and is of the opinion the job was done by thieves thoroughly familiar with the business. Orris Mullinix has for the past week or two been demonstrating to his many friends the superior points of a Stoddard-Dayton tour received from the agent to whom they were consigned. Married—At the residence of the bride's parents, in New Tacoma, W. T., August 15, Mr. Frank Everett to Miss Josephine Fesenfeld.

A resolution releasing the Wilshire Oil Co. and Frank Lowell from liability to the County of Orange, arising out of injuries to George A. Graupensperger, was regularly adopted. The matter of the U. S. Forest Service relative to burning bush was taken under advisement for two weeks. The Chairman was authorized to sign the County Wide Library Project. The Chairman and the clerk were authorized to sign the Releases of Mortgages as follows: Sam Erquhart, et ux., to the county of Orange; Charles K. Crawford, et ux., to the county of Orange; Food Costs Found 14 Per Cent Below General Level of Recent changes in local Agricultural Adjustment Administration and just released through the Extension Service office, shows that food costs were 14 percent below the general level of living costs. Food is still the best bargain in living costs, excepting rent, which is increasing rapidly. Food costs in May 1935 had increased 25 percent since 1914, but other items in the family budget had increased 40 percent since 1914. Food prices are still 19 per cent below the March 1930 level. Throughout the past 15 years the American public has been supplied with food by the American farmer at a level of prices far below the levels of most other expenditures. During the depression, agriculture took price cuts of 64 percent while industry took price cuts of only 21 percent. Importance of Food Price To Farmers When the Agricultural adjustment Act was framed it was evident that consumers would pay considerably higher prices for food if farmers were to be able to stay in the business of feeding them. Farmer's share of the consumer's dollar spent for 14 food items was 47.9 cents in 1928. It dropped to 32 cents in 1932, but had increased to 42.5 cents (not including processing taxes) in January 1935. A small rise in price to the consumer often means a large percentage increase in the farmer's returns. Distribution costs tend to remain constant.

GRAPE NUTS 15½¢ PALMOLIVE SOAP 3 cakes 13¢ Recent changes in food prices reflect action of two forces—AAA and other recovery programs, and drought of 1934. Three-fifths of the rise took place during the second year of recovery, due to adjustment programs and the drought. About four-fifths of the reduction in wheat and corn production was due to the drought and about one-fifth to adjustment programs. Reduction in supplies of other agricultural commodities, for which no control programs existed, were due solely to the drought. Mose meat is available as a result of Government livestock purchases, which conserved nearly a billion pounds of beef, veal, pork, and mutton for relief distribution and released a large quantity of feed for carrying other animals through the period of acute feed shortage. More feed for livestock was also made available last winter through conservation activities of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, including the 1933 corn loan program which kept 270,000,000 bushels of corn on farms for future use, and the planting of contracted acres to forage crops which provided thousands of tons of livestock feed that would not otherwise have been available. Relation Between City and Farm Welfare Income farmers, boosted by the AAA and other recovery programs, has increased farm purchasing power and thereby helped the city worker to earn the dollars he pays out for food. Farmers' returns from foodstuffs and factory pay rolls increase or decrease together. The relative exchange value of a unit of farm products is 84 percent of its pre-war purchasing power. Improvement in city purchasing power is the necessary next step to improved prices for the farmer or anyone else. Industry must reabsorb unemployed to increase city buying power, or farm products will with difficulty remain at present price levels as drought shortages are replaced and more farm products are sent to market. Twenty-two percent of the population that should be gainfully employed is unemployed. Jobs, rather than cost of living, is the most important concern of those unemployed. The "ever-normal granary" plan, advocated for years by Secretary Wallace and included in the amendments to the Agricultural Adjustment Act now before Congress, would insure the consumer against scarcity and keep carry-overs from burdening the farmer, by enabling the Government to return to producers surpluses that might temporarily accumulate.
