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 OCTOBER 10, 1885 The Board of Town Trustees met on Wednesday. Present Messrs. Northam, Hilmer, Korn and Zeyn. After the transaction of routine business Mr. Korn assumed the chair and Mr. Northam moved that the license ordinance introduced at the last meeting be adopted. Carried by the following vote: Ayes—Northam and Zeyn; No—Hilmer. A communication from Theodore Reiser and others complaining of Eichler's slaughter house as being a nuisance was received. It was ordered that the proprietor be notified that the nuisance be abated within thirty days or he would be prosecuted according to law. The railroad committee presented a bill of actual expenses incurred and asked the Board to pay the same. The Board refused to pay it. Many paragraphs have been printed this season regarding heavy yields of grapes, but we are gratified to be able to cap the climax by recording the phenomenal yield of the Muscat vineyard of Mr. John Duff, situated about one mile north of town. The vineyard yielded twelve tons to the acre, and there is about a ton of grapes to the acre, second crop left on the vines. Two vines gave three trays of grapes, each weighing their immense size, and the horses he will exhibit will be the blue ribbon without doubt. Mr. Harry R. Hanna is in town and will spend a week or ten days here. It is a remarkable fact that since he came here with his little gun, quail roost high and the rabbit campment and carnival will close on Saturday evening with a grand Mardi gras. A host of the brothers will be in this city today. A bull's head barbecue under the supervision of F. W. Fleischman and Bob Mills will be a feature of the entertainment. At an early hour on Saturday morning news was received here of the destruction of the Los Angeles Times building by dynamite bombs. The community was thrown into intense excitement when it was learned that an innuinan outrage had been consumed and that an internal machine had been found at Gen. Otis residence. Gen. Otis learned of the disaster at imperial junction, his son-in-law having wired him. The general's telegraph repay was characteristic of the man: "They may destroy my building, but they cannot destroy the Times." He was given a great oration on its arrival in Los Angeles. He went at once to the ruins and took personal charge of the work of getting out the Times from his auxiliary plant. The Times is appearing regularly. The loss is estimated at $600,000, with insurance or about $200,000. Twenty-one men were burned to death in the building when immediately took fire and burned to the ground. The police are on the track of the dynameters, and hope is entertained they will be apprehended. The demolition of the Los Angeles Times building by dynamite with its lamantable loss of life mark the crowning attempt of senseless labor agitators to destroy that newspaper. The Times building will be rebuilt and the Times will be a greater and more powerful newspaper than before. Gen. Otis has our sympathy in the loss of the lives of our men and in Many paragraphs have been printed this season regarding heavy yields of grapes, but we are gratified to be able to cap the climax by recording the phenomenal yield of the Muscat vineyard of Mr. John Duff, situated about one mile north of town. The vineyard yielded twelve tons to the acre, and there is about a ton of grapes to the acre, second crop left on the vines. Two vines gave three trays of grapes, each weighing 70 pounds, making the yield of each vine 105 pounds. Mr. Staley, foreman for McPherson brothers, who purchased the crop, says that this is the heaviest yield of any vineyard in the county. The price paid for the grapes was $16 per ton on the vines, so that Mr. Duff will realize $200 per acre (including the second crop) with no expense of picking, curing, etc. This is a good country to emigrate from—if any better place could be found. The following committee has been appointed by President H. Hamilton of the Los Angeles Pomological society, to meet at the Board of Trade rooms, Oct. 17 at 11 o'clock, for the purpose of consulting with J. de Bard Shorb and others in reference to their plan of fruit shipping and marketing and to make arrangements with them for shipping the fruits of Southern California or to formulate some new plans of operating and report through the press their conclusions. Committee: H. K. Snow, Tustin; Dr. Chubb, Orange; Daniel Hallioay, Santa Ana; Richard Melrose and W. M. McFadden, Anaheim; Rev. C. T. Loop and J. W. Sallee, Pomona; A. R. Chapman and J. R. Dobbins, San Gabriel; James Bettner and R. P. Waite, Riverside; Anson Van Leuven, San Bernardino; Abbott Kinney, Sierra Madre; H. S. Daniels, Duarte; W. H. Workman, J. W. Wolfskill, A. H. Denker, Geo. Rice, S. McKinlay, Los Angeles. The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company has posted a notice on the river about half a mile above the head of their ditch claiming 11,400 inches of water to be hereafter developed. Reams of paper and oceans of ink have been used in writing such notices. Let us hope that the time is near for the actual beginning of the work. It having been found necessary Fadden, president of the board of trustees turned the keys of the city over to the Odd Fellows. Their immense size, and the horses he will exhibit will be the blue ribbon without doubt. Mr. Harry R. Hanna is in town and will spend a week or ten days here. It is a remarkable fact that since he came here with his little gun, quail roost high and the rabbit hips his hole, and they prey upon vegetation only in the still, small hours. The record is smashed again. T.K.McDowell of North Anaheim gathered 34 tons of Muscat grapes from 2,900 vines. The vines are planted ten feet part. H.C.Farquharson is the new deputy Collector of Internal Revenue to take the place of A.E.Sepulveda resigned. His district embraces the counties of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego. Pellegrin Bros. have sold one of their fine Weber upright planos to the Planters hotel. A superior quality of baled hay is offered for sale by Mr.E.B.Foster of Centralia. Mr.Keith has for rent 480 acres of fine grazing land. Saxton and Cox have laid in a large supply of raisin boxes of all sizes. Died—In Anaheim Oct. 7, August Classen, aged 9 years and 6 months. The demolition of the Los Angeles Times building by dynamite with its laminatable loss of life mark the crowning attempt of senseless labor agitators to destroy that newspaper. The Times building will be rebuilt and the Times will be a greater and more powerful newspaper than before. Gen.Otis has our sympathy in the loss of the lives or his men and in his property loss, but those of us who know him appreciate the fact that the assassin's work will have the effect of redoubling his fight against outlawry. Los Angeles cannot afford to permit this crime to go unpunished. Life and property must be secure from assaults of the dynamiter. The inlaid-tiling for the approaches to the stores in the Hart building is completed and is a work of art. The entrance to the storeroom to be occupied by Charles Federman is decorated with the name of that gentleman. Rev.Mitchell has completed his fifth year as pastor of the Presbyterian church. Next Sunday morning he will preach an anniversary sermon. On Friday evening, Mr. and Mrs.Mitchell will give a reception in the Sunday School rooms to members of the church and congregation. Walter Johnson, pitcher for the Washington league baseball team, who began his baseball career in Anaheim has been offered $500 if he beats Rube Waddell's strikeout record made several years ago, when he fanned 301 batsmen during the season. Johnson has MONEY NO OBJECT IF IT'S A QUESTION OF HEALTH Since 1759 thousands of people have regained their normal health after years of suffering from stomach troubles of all types, such as constipation, indigestion, gas, and sour stomach which are the basic factors of such maladies as high blood pressure, rheumatism, periodic headaches, pimples on face and body, palms in the back, liver, kidney and bladder disorder, exhaustion, loss of sleep and appetite.

It having been found necessary to put in a new headgate in the Cajon ditch, water will be turned out of the ditch on Tuesday and will probably remain out for two weeks. In the meantime all the water will be turned into the lower ditch. There is hanging in the Gazette office a twig cut from a Zante currant vine, on which his grown both currants and Black Hamburg grapes. Bees have evidently carried the fertilizing pollen from the grape vine to the currant with the curious result noted. The Los Angeles League of Freedom, composed principally of saloon keepers, has resolved to resist the license tax of $50 per month recently levied by the council. Their program is to refuse payment, demand a jury trial when arrested and thus encumber the courts to such an extent as to render the law inoperative. Mr. J. W. Bixby of the Los Alamitos rancho will make a fine display of stock at the Los Angeles and Downey Agricultural Fairs. His Holstein cattle will create a sensation. One of them "Aggie Bonnie" has for some time been giving 67 pounds of milk daily, equal to 8 gallons.

WHY ADD $6,620,000. Is this huge tax load not enough without an additional $6,620,000? An immediate halt will have to be called to the needles expenditure WHY ADD $6,620,000. Is this huge tax load not enough without an additional $6,620,000? An immediate halt will have to be called to the needles expenditure of County funds in the haphazard manner of floating bond issues for political reasons. Orange County taxpayers, in the event the Dam Bond Issue carries, will find they carry a tax burden of 13.05 per cent of the total assessed valuation of the county. This is of the total 1935-36 valuation, and would be more than 20 per cent of the total 1934-35 valuation. The magnitude of this proposed bond issue is clearly shown when the total indebtedness of the 95 counties in Nebraska is only $6,247,000. Orange County's principal indebtedness of over $19,000,000 is more than impressive — it is a downright castrophe! VOTE 'NO' HOW MUCH EMPLOYMENT? How much employment will this proposed expenditure give? Unemployed, do not be fooled. The ridiculous figure, 5,080 men to be employed, is not borne out by other Government projects. The number of unemployed physically fit for employment in the county is negligible, particularly when consideration is given to the fact that twenty-one PWA approved projects in Orange County are ready to begin construction. The Government, in constructing the Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River in Oregon, a $53,000,000 project, used only 2,000 men. The $220,000,000 building program for the Metropolitan Water Company used 10,000 men. The Boulder Dam never used over 8,000 men in its construction. A moment's reasoning will show that, together with numerous other exaggerations made by proponents of this bond issue, the figure of estimated employment is equally as exaggerated.
