PATHFINDER Recalls Old Days REMINISCES SANTA ANA 'MUSTARD PATCH' When the Spurgeon family first settled at Santa Ana that section was a mustard patch. The Lehman hotel on the corner of Fourth and Main streets was the main hoselry in town. The Southern Pacific railway built their line to Anaheim in 1876 and this city was the terminus. Passengers were carried from here to Santa Ana by Coley Travis, who used a two horse spring wagon for the purpose. In the early days it used to be talked around that men in Anaheim who had money loaned it to Santa Anans to build up their town, which shows they used good judgment. BLACKSMITH WEARS 'PLUG HAT' There used to be a blacksmith here years ago who had his shop on North Los Angeles street and all the local boys called him Harry. He could shoe a horse or put a new steel tire on your wagon wheel better than anybody. On Sundays and holidays Harry would appear on the streets dressed up in the latest fashion of clothes and wearing a plug hat. He would lounge around the best hotel in town. One time he passed a couple of strangers in his gorgeous raiment. One man asked the other, "Who's that." The other stranger remarked," I dunno, but I think he's a capitalist from Chicago." TWENTY-THIRTIES HEAR OF SOUTH AMERICA IN TALK MONDAY EVENING District Meeting Planned For Anaheim On Sunday, September 29 A very interesting meeting was held last Monday night at the Marigold Cafe when the Twenty-Thirty Club had as its speaker Royal J. Hansen. Reports of a district meeting was made by Wallace Walton, district governor and a member of the local club, in which he stated that all of the clubs in the district would be here to attend the session. Walton said that the important questions to be discussed will be The Program of Expansion. Problems of Individual Clubs. Plans for the Midwinter Trustees Meeting, and for the Midwinter gathering which will probably be held at El Centro. Luncheon at 12:15 at the Elks Club, at which time Clubs will be presented with trophies and merit awards. Royal J. Hansen lectured on "The History of America Before the time of Columbus. He included in his lecture a picture tour of Old Mexico Central and South JUDGE RUTH TO SPEAK HERE AT OCTOBER MEET October 3 will be a banner meeting for Townsend Club No. 4 of Anaheim, according to an announcement made by Mrs. Freeman, president of the pension club. Her announcement carried the fact that Judge Ruth of Los Angeles will be the principal speaker for the meeting on that date. Many residents of Anaheim remember Judge Ruth as the chairman at the Townsend picnic at Hindenberg Park, recently: All interested are ordially invited to attend the meeting, according to the announcement. Bouldin Speaker At Townsend Club With Chief of Police James Bouldin as principal speaker, Townsend Club, No. 1 held its meeting at 210 South Clementine Street last Tuesday evening with a large crowd in attendance. In addition to the speaking a wheel better than anybody. On Sundays and holidays Harry would appear on the streets dressed up in the latest fashion of clothes and wearing a plug hat. He would lounge around the best hotel in town. One time he passed a couple of strangers in his gorgeous raiment. One man asked the other, "Who's that." The other stranger remarked, "I dunno, but I think he's a capitalist from Chicago." 'GOLD BRICKERS' VISIT PLACENTIA In the early days a couple of slickers contacted a well known wine maker of Placentia and convinced him that they had two gold bricks that they would sell him for $500.00. They confided to the man that the gold bricks had been salvaged from a pirate ship sunk out in the Pacific ocean. The intended victim was so impressed with the proposition that he came here and went to the local banker to get the money. The slickers waited for him on the outskirts of the town. When the banker learned what the money was for he refused to cash the wine maker's check. This greatly incensed the man and he went away in anger. But it later dawned on him that the banker was right. When he and the officers went to look for the bunko men they had disappeared. SQUATTERS BOTHER RANCH COMPANY The late Robert J. Northam came here from San Francisco in the early 80's to take a position as agent for the Stearns Rancho company. "Bob" as he was familiarly called was a hale fellow well met and all the local boys liked him. The Stearns Rancho company owned thousands of acres of uncultivated land here and in adjoining counties, devoted mainly to sheep pasture. One of Bob's duties was to keep squatters from getting a foothold on the land. In our area between here and the western territory as far as the ocean there was a section known as Gospel Swamp. It was a thickly wooded willow tract, several miles square, and in there the squatters would settle with their families. It was Bob's duty to rout them out, and in the main, he kept them on the move. One day while he was driving his team along a lonely road will be The Program of Expansion. Problems of Individual Clubs. Plans for the Midwinter Trustees Meeting, and for the Midwinter gathering which will probably be held at El Centro. Luncheon at 12:15 at the Elks Club, at which time Clubs will be presented with trophies and merit awards. Royal J. Hansen lectured on "The History of America Before the time of Columbus. He included in his lecture a picture tour of Old Mexico. Central and South America. This series of stereographic pictures taken during the past few years on various expeditions into Central and South American countries, reveal highly intellectual cultures of people that have inhabited this Western Hemisphere in the distant past. Here a magnificent civilization had been developed. This region, now overgrown with a dense tropical forest, had been cleared and put under intensive cultivation. Great cities had flourished. Lofty pyramidic temples and splendid palaces of cut stone, spacious plazas and courts filled with elaborately craved monuments of strange yet imposing dignity, market places, terraces, were to be counted by hundreds and thousands. These pictures let in an inspiring atmosphere of experiencing the gripping fascination of uncovering ruins of the dead an dne forgotten America's ancient history; America's earliest form of architecture as built by the archaic people in the Valley of Mexico. The speaker in his lecture also told of the huge pyramids that have been uncovered only to be compared with the pyramids of Egypt. He told of the Toltec's legend concerning the visit of a bearded white god, who promised to return each twenty years and for whom they faithfully watched, and later mistook Cortez when he sailed in for this god, and all bowed down to him, but in his lust for gold the negend soon died. These people had potatoes, yams and sweet potatoes, every known variety of string beans and tapioca and hundreds of other things to whom we are indebted to for these products. Baby Boy Born to Harringtons Tues. Mrs. R. B. Harrington, wife of the local agent for the Motor With Chief of Police James Bouldin as principal speaker, Townsend Club, No. 1 held its meeting at 210 South Clementine Street last Tuesday evening with a large crowd in attendance. In addition to the speaking a very interesting program was enjoyed by all. Chief Bouldin stated to the meeting that he was for the Old Age pension, 100 per cent. He stated that the state penal institutions were filled with people who have committed offences that were due to the existing conditions of unemployment. He stated that he believed the Townsend Plan would materially reduce this type of crime because it would give the younger generation an opportunity owing to the natural increase in commercial business. St. Catherine's Opens New Term Claiming the largest enrollment in six years St. Catherine's Military School, Anaheim, looks forward to a prosperous and progressive school year for 1935-1936. An increase of nearly thirty-five percent in the student body has necessitated the addition of new members to the staff and an expanded program in the construction of improvements. The Cadet Corps under the direction of Lt. Chas. A. Schmitt, 63rd Artillery USA, Commandant, is preparing for its first public exhibition of the new school year on November 11 in the Orange County Armistice Day Parade. The Corp hopes to extend its string of victories to twelve. With the large number of cadets now on the campus the athletic department has high hopes for placing real representative teams on the field of competition in all the major sports. Paul Grover, athletic director the last four years, will be assisted by Robert Coleman from football and basketball star at Loyola High School and University. to keep squatters from getting a foothold on the land. In our area between here and the western territory as far as the ocean there was a section known as Gospel Swamp. It was a thickly wooded willow tract, several miles square, and in there the squatters would settle with their families. It was Bob's duty to rout them out, and in the main, he kept them on the move. One day while he was driving his team along a lonely road among the willows some one fired at him from ambush. Bob had a close call and after that he carried a six shooter in a handy holster alongside the whip socket for use in case of emergency, but he never used it. As the country settled up with bona fide residents all the land of the company was sold and devoted to agricultural and citrus culture. Northam lived here for many years with his family and then moved to Los Angeles. The station on the Santa Fe railway was named after him. "JOHN L." EXHIBITS IN LOS ANGELES Perry Bros. Club Theater on upper Main street in Los Angeles used to be the amusement place de luxe in the early days. When John L. Sullivan, the prize fighter, was in his prime he gave exhibitions when he came to town and always posted one thousand dollars to be given to the man who could face him in the ring for four rounds. John always knocked out his man in one or two rounds. He had a way of hitting a man on the chin twice with his mighty right in so rapid a fashion that it looked like but one blow. That's what turned the trick. If John was here today he would scare some of the present crop of fighters to death by looking at them. No doubt if John L. heard about these arrangements for a tour of the water spreading grounds in Lyttle Creek and of the upper Prado dam site in the Santa Ana Canyon, the key unit of the county's $12,994,-000 flood control and water conservation program, were announced today by Walter F. Meier of Orange, chairman of the transportation committee of the Associated Chambers of Commerce. The tour will start from Olive gateway community to the Santa Ana Canyon, on October 2 at 8 a.m., two days before the county votes on a $6,620,000 bond election to clinch a $6,374,000 Federal grant offered to assist financing of the water program as a Federal job. Leaving Olive at 8 a.m., the caravan will proceed by the main reservoir site, over the Chino road to the Lyttle Creek spreading interests will be seen. Return to Prado dam site will be via the West Riverside district and the Pedley bridge, in which area can be seen large acreages denuded of life-giving water through diversion methods to other localities. The return to the Prado dam site is fixed about 2 p.m. Orange County Flood Control Engineer Murray N. Thompson will speak to the caravan members, explaining the Prado reservoir construction proposal in detail. A sound speaker system will be set up. Meier said that the tour is open to all citizens, and that those who could not make the all-day tour could meet the caravan at the Prado dam site at 2 p.m. For those who are to be on the all-day (Continued on page 8) ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1935 RUTH TO HERE AT MEET B will be a banner Townsend Club No. im, according to an it made by Mrs. president of the pennencement carried the Judge Ruth of Los will be the principal the meeting on that idents of Anaheim Judge Ruth as the Townsend pic-berg Park, recentated are ordially in- tend the meeting, the announcement.

FREAK RAINFALL Near Here Friday Night A freak rainfall, which lasted about a half hour occurred last Friday night on 101 Highway, between here and Santa Ana. No rain fell in either of the cities and hence no record was made in either of the cities of the fall. The rain proved a nuisance at the weekly wrestling matches at the Orange County arena as it poured through the roof of the tent. OFFICIAL WORD IS RECEIVED, LOAN GRANT OF WATER Federal Government Sets Aside $6.374,000 As Its Share of Program Official word that the Federal Government has set aside the promised $6.374,000 as its share of the county’s proposed $12.994,000 flood control and water conservation program was received today in a WATER USERS ASSOCIATION ASKS DEFEAT OF BONDS AT ELECTION TO BE HELD HERE ON OCTOBER Reasons Set Forth By Opponents to Measure Ind Claimed Misrepresentations Made by Proponents Measure For County Flood Control. Demanding defeat of the $6,620,000 county flood bonds at the polls October 4, the Associated Water User Orange County today issued a statement, setting grounds of its opposition to the bond issue. These were: School Party At Rebekah Lodge This Friday With Mrs. Blanche Chandler, district deputy president, as the honored guest, members of Lois Rebekah lodge, of Anaheim, enjoyed an old-fashioned school party at the I.O.O.F. hall last Friday evening. Mrs. Chandler was accompanied by her deputy marshal, Mrs. Lucille Rathbone. Miss Hannah Horwitz was program chairman, and also acted as the school mistress. She called on members present for impromptu recitations and poems, musical numbers, and school exercises. 2—Estimates of the 1916 flood damage have been exaggerated 300 per cent in order frighten voters to such extent they will overlook the terrific burden represented by the issue. Instead of the $1,800 damage now estimated by supervisors and their engineers, damage was $520,000, as estimat at time of the flood by Cox Assessor Sleeper and County Engineer McBride.

Works Progress Administration chief Harry L. Hopkins affixed his signature to the allocation last night. This confirmation means that the gigantic works program, to draw its labor requirements of from 3000 to 5000 Orange County workers, now rests solely upon the Friday, October 4, bond election for $6,620,000 for its success. As outlined, the Federal funds for the project are to be taken from the WPA instead of from the Public Works Administration, but operation of the vast construction program will be unchanged. It still will be under direct supervision of Federal engineers, in cooperation with the County Flood Control District, which agency prepared all engineering and technical specifications during the past ten years. The complete pro-dorsement of the Board of U. S. Army Engineers. Federal inspectors will be resident on each of the eleven jobs, in every part of the county, comprising the program. With the last barrier removed insofar as Government aid is concerned, the Citizen's Committee issued a general appeal for an overwhelming "YES" vote on Friday, October 4. New Englanders To Meet October 5 Every New Englander is included in the call to rally for the great annual picnic reunion of the former residents of Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Mass. and Conn. in Sycamore Grove Park all day, Saturday, Oct. 5th, under the auspices of the New England State Societies. Boston Baked beans and Vermont man-made corn will be honored guest, members of Lois Rebekah lodge, of Anaheim, enjoyed an old-fashioned school party at the I.O.O.F. hall last Friday evening. Mrs. Chandler was accompanied by her deputy marshal, Mrs. Lucille Rathbone. Miss Hannah Horwitz was program chairman, and also acted as the school mistress. She called on members present for impromptu recitations and poems, musical numbers, and school exercises. Miss Leone Nelson had charge of the serving of refreshments and she and her assistants carried out the school-day program by serving school lunches in paper bags. Among those enrolled in the "classes" were twenty-one Alpha Theta Rho girls of Los Angeles. These girls are junior Rebekahs and were invited to present the work of their drill team earlier in the evening. The girls are from twelve to eighteen years of age, and their drill work received much acclaim. Their uniforms are of white, with blue and peach accessories, which make a very attractive display. Mrs. Alberta J. Carrier, Mrs. Ruby M. Sund and Mrs. Elvira L. Nobles, advisors of the girls accompanied them on their visit. Mrs. Berthyl Reisinger, president of the Lois Lodge, presided over the business meeting. During the evening she presented gifts to Mrs. Chandler and Mrs. Rathbone as tokens of appreciation for their services. Announcements and discussions of the various meetings and programs for the immediate furture were made by the respective committees and members. Mrs. Bertie Presnell announced the district meeting to be held at Hrosa lodge in Santa Ana on October 23, with Mrs. Mary R. Newcastle, president of the Rebekah assembly presiding. On October 28, Mrs. Newcastle will pay her official visit to the Sycamore lodge in Santa Ana, with other Orange County lodges also present. The Thimble club will hold an all day meeting and pot-luck luncheon Friday, September 27th, with Mrs. Mitchell as hostess for the day. The next regular meeting of the lodge will be held at the hall with the Odd Fellows as guests to a pot luck supper. Preceding the evenings entertainments the day was taken up with a luncheon served at the flood damage have been exaggerated 300 per cent in order frighten voters to such extent they will overlook the terrific burden represented by the issue. Instead of the $1,800 damage now estimated by sur-visors and their engineers, damage was $520,000, as estimat- at the time of the flood by Coun-Assessor Sleeper and County gineer McBride. The recurren- tion of any such flood damage is likely because the hazard has been greatly reduced by spread- works on the upper Santa Ana River. 3—The claim that the pro- would employ 5000 men, and lieve the county of all unemployment, is fantastic. The Bonnev dam project in Oregon, built by the army engineers, employed 2000 at its peak; that was two times as big a project as this; more than 150 to 200 were deployed on the $800,000 Santa Canyon dam. 4—The county already has total bond burden of nearly $1000,000 and would have a load more than $25,000,000 if the five bonds were approved. That would break the taxpayers' back. 5—Alternate plans are made less costly and really effective getting water. By spending about $750,000 canalizing the Santa A River from the Riverside Narra- tol to the intake of the water canaries, and cutting away willows in that area, the coul could eliminate an annual wa- 18,000 acre feet in transpiration and evaporation. This would save a saving every year, not just flood years. It would make a p- peet underground reservoir of one Prado Basin, from which 300 acre feet could be pumped n- nually by Orange County, leaving that much room for absorption winter floods. 6—That 18,000 acre feet saved added to the release of appro- mately 20,000 acre feet now used and to be obtained by the cities in the Metropolitan Water District, Santa Ana, Fullerton and Anaheim, would increase th- county's present supply by nearly 40,000 acre feet, as much as p- ponents claim for the entire flue control project. Santa Ana, Al- heim and Fullerton now use about 12,000 acre feet annually. This will be entitled to 20,000 acre feet from the Metropolitan Water District, therefore they will rele- nate the 12,000 acre feet now used fro- To Meet October 5 Every New Englander is included in the call to rally for the great annual picnic reunion of the former residents of Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Mass. and Conn. in Sycamore Grove Park all day, Saturday, Oct. 5th, under the auspices of the New England State Societies.

Planning New Gym At St. Catherine’s Because of the splendid increase in students over last year preparatory work on the proposed gymnasium and classrooms at St. Catherine's Military School is being rushed so that construction may commence by October 1. The new structure is to be a modern fire and earthquake proof building, two stories high and consistent with the architectural design of the present group of buildings. Present plans call for a modernly equipped gymnasium including a regulation size basketball-court with a stage at one end. The second floor will have five classrooms. The building is expected to be ready for occupancy when school reopens after the Christmas holidays. Preceding the evenings entertainments the day was taken up with a luncheon served at the I. O. F. Hall at 12:30 noon, by members of the Kraft Manufacturing Company. Later food prizes were awarded to Mrs. Ida Freeman, Mrs. Mary Alice Shawhan, Mrs. L. B. Garrison, Mrs. Laura Payne, Mrs. Thelma Hein and Mrs. Ralph Summers. About eighty guests were present. Following the luncheon those present spent an enjoyable afternoon at cards, prizes for pinochle going to Mrs. Fannie Webb and Mrs. Flossie Morrow of Santa Ana. Miss Hannah Horwitz and Mrs. Elizabeth Miller took home the prizes for "500" and Mrs. O. W.Eger and Mrs. Nellie Rainey were recipients of the bridge tokens. Mrs. Reisinger, Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. Charlotte Hodges deserve much credit for the carrying out of the afternoon's program. CHORUSES DISCUSSED About fifteen ladies met at the Fremont school Monday morning to discuss plans for the community choruses. Mrs. Mabel Spizzey, director of music in the Orange County schools, presided. She stated that a larger number of voices is needed to sing on October 11, at the teachers' institute in Orange. The music is not difficult, and practices will be held each Monday morning at 9 o'clock at Fremont school. Those who wish music may secure it from Mrs. Arthur Kemper, 920 North Clementine street. The J.C.PENNEY COOPERING OF “DOWNSTREAM” The J.C.Penney Company started in Anaheim in addition to its already large department to its already large space. E.M.Keath, manager of local store announced this week that his entire store has been ramped for the purpose of depersonalizing the business. "We cannot stand still in business and if we want to go we must expand," said Keath "and to this end we have removed our basement which will known as the "downstairs store." This is not to be confused with bargain basement. It is not intention to run a bargain basement, but rather a departmental ed store which necessitated use of the basement for certain departments."

He has much more; of far greater importance, to occupy his mind at the moment. “There comes a time in every man's life . . .” but why delve into the writings of some “has-been” when modern trends bring us much more music in the cry of an infant. This is written for fathers only. Lieut, C. A. Schmitt survived the ordeal quite successfully when Mrs. Schmitt presented him with a bouncing baby daughter on Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 at St. Joseph's hospital. The little miss weighed in at 7 pounds. Naturally the mother is doing fine, and Lieutenant Schmitt's friends are working furiously to see that he recovers as well, and, in due time. It is their first child, born on their first wedding anniversary. Lieut. Schmitt is the Command-and at St. Catherin's School.

Figures and arguments, pro and con, were given the membership which stayed overtime at the meeting indicating its interest in both sides of the problem. Wallop stressed the additional taxes and questioned the value in return for the sum expended as the greatest argument against the bonds. Mauerhan answered with the possibility of conservation and benefit to the farmer who is pumping water. The meeting was under the direction of Dr. Herbert Johnston as program chairman. 27 Anaheimites Attending J. C. At Santa Ana Twenty seven graduates of Anaheim high school and residents of Anaheim have registered for classes at Santa Ana Junior college, according to a survey of registration totals completed today.

PENNEY COMPANY ANNOUNCES OPENING OF "DOWNSTAIRS STORE" J. C. Penney Company store in Anaheim is adding another department to its already large floor. M. Keath, manager of the store announced this week that entire store has been read for the purpose of departing the business.

It is not to be confused with a basement. It is not our intention to run a bargain base-out rather a departmentalize store which necessitated using asement for certain depart-" The store, already one of the in the city, was found to be crowded with the fast growing business. To expand properly meant more floor space. A large airy basement easy of access, solved the problem and carpenters, painters and fixture makers have been extremely busy for the past few weeks, turning the basement into a very neat up-to-the-minute series of departments for the store. New and perhaps principal among the departments in the downstairs store is the Infants Department. This department, it is believed will fill a long felt need in Anaheim. Four or five other depratments will also be found in the downstairs store. The opening of the downstairs store is announced for tomorrow morning.
