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 17, 1885 If the Board of Trustees will give the use of one of the rooms in the schoolhouse, Mr. F. S. Wallace proposes to teach shorthand writing to a class composed of pupils of the school and anyone else who desires to study. Mr. Wallace is a competent stenographer and proposes to teach the class gratuitously. The ability to write shorthand is a useful and valuable accomplishment and we advise our young people to take advantage of Mr. Wallace's generous offer of free tuition. (Since the above was placed in type, the use of the school room has been granted, and the first session of the school will be held on Thursday evening). In the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors, as published on the first page, it will be seen that they propose to put the heavy levy for road purposes to good uses. There are too few good bridges in the county. A substantial bridge over the wash north of Anaheim would prevent the annoyances of two years ago, when it was unfordable for days at a time. But the Supervisors are not going to order the bridge built unless the persons most in- Grand Lodge F. and A. M. as a delegate from Anaheim Lodge.

The suit to condemn the right-of-way for the extension of the Anaheim ditch to the reservoir will come up for trial on November 25th. The new Board of Directors of the S. A. V. I. company are: W. H. Spurgeon, president; J. A. Parker, W. G. McPherson, S. W. Preble and John R. Fletcher. The Santa Ana Herald is in error. The Anaheim jail was built by the town authorities and not by the Board of Supervisors. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 13, 1910 Nine hundred Odd Fellows, their wives and friends partook of a barbecue at the Deutsch corner paraded up and down street drawn by members' order. On Wednesday the day auto parade over 400 Odd Fellows drove through the city. On street, in front of the Odd Fellows hall, a long table was set 500 baskets of grapes, nuts oranges. These together describe folder of A were passed out to the under the auspices of the headed by Messrs. Stern, Adams, and Welborn Wallace. When the delegation Santa Ana some time before night the Odd Fellows ran in front of Camp Ritter moving their hats gave cheers and a tiger for Annie.

In the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors, as published on the first page, it will be seen that they propose to put the heavy levy for road purposes to good uses. There are too few good bridges in the county. A substantial bridge over the wash north of Anaheim would prevent the annoyances of two years ago, when it was unfordable for days at a time. But the Supervisors are not going to order the bridge built unless the persons most interested ask that it be done. The summer of discontent is being vigorously crowded out by the winter of great expectations. The air is cold and crisp o' mornings, and as one dresses he shivers slightly and wonders to himself what possessed him to growl at the heat only a short month ago and wish for the cold weather to set in. The season, however, is not so far advanced as further north. A frost covered the ground in Sonoma county last Sunday morning. While traveling in a wagon between Anaheim and Santa Ana the early part of the week, a gentleman lost a satchel from the wagon and did not discover his loss for some hours afterwards. Retracing his way to Santa Ana he found the satchel intact in a store at that place, it having been picked up on the road by an honest farmer. The satchel contained $84 in coin, together with other valuables. On last Saturday evening the Santa Ana and Tustin bands drove over in a big coach to Anaheim and after discoursing some very excellent music on the street repaired to Conrad's hall where they were hospitably received and entertained by the Anaheim brass band. The three bands numbering 38 performers, gave an almost uninterrupted flow of music until after midnight, and the time was one of unalloyed pleasure. An invitation to the Anaheim band to visit Santa Ana was enthusiastically accepted. The visiting bands are not only excellent musicians but thorough gentlemen and good fellows. Stephen M. White, Esq., concluded his excellent speech at the opening of the Downey fair by giving this advice: "Continue your work and John R. Fletcher." The Santa Ana Herald is in error. The Anaheim jail was built by the town authorities and not by the Board of Supervisors. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 13, 1910 Nine hundred Odd Fellows, their wives and friends partook of a barbecue at the Deutsch corner on Thursday evening at half-past 6 o'clock. Five coachloads of Odd Fellows arrived by special train over the Santa Fe at 5:30. They were met by a large delegation of local brother, headed by the Anaheim band. A line of march was formed and the visitors were escorted up town. At the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets addresses of welcome were made by F. C. Spencer and J. S. Howard. Five hundred ate at the first table when barbecued bull's heads, beef and mutton, beans, potato salad, bread and coffee were served in abundance. At a second table 400 visitors were feasted. Well-filled plates were passed around to ladies and gentlemen in autos. The feast was prepared by F. W. Fleischman, Bobby Mills, H. K. Dickel, Henry Adams and F. A. Yungbluth. Mayor Rust, Col. Sherburn of Sacramento, and the key to the city were placed in a buggy and Walter Johnson, the local ball pitcher, on Thursday night striking out ten men in with Chicago.

White, Esq., concluded his excellent speech at the opening of the Downey fair by giving this advice: "Continue your good work, improve your fine estates, see that your children are well trained, let them adopt those employments for which they are fitted by nature, whether in so doing they tread in the mechanical, mercantile, agricultural or professional path. Avoid those affrays and neighborhood difficulties which, if you are not careful, may be developed among you. Compromise your disputes without spending your time in expensive and aggravating litigation, and as the days roll by you will wonder, when looking at your pleasing environment, how you were able to accomplish so much in so short a time. In the garden of Mr. Korn are two nests of the wild canary in one of which are eggs and in the other young birds. The parent birds are evidently profoundly mistaken in regard to the time of year, and will launch their progeny on a bleak world on the verge of a semi-tropical winter.

T. S. Grimshaw is in San Francisco attending the session of the THE FARMER'S CORNER By RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California California voters will be called upon to render the verdict in a vertiable "tax battle of the century" at next year's general election, according to current prognostications along the political Rialto. And out of the free-for-all melee, it is predicted in some quarters, may come the most tangled tax program in the state's history, and a dried-up treasury and no water at the well. The threatening titanic tax struggle, which many of the dopesters predict will end in a hurricane of defeats, but no victories—resolves itself around the following facts, forecasts and developments: 1. Announcement by foes of the newly-adopted state income tax that a constitutional amendment will be submitted to the people, vit initiative, to repeal the in come levy and forbid its enactment, except by popular vote. 2. Forecast that fees of the sales tax—the state's master revenue producer—will be spurred into action by the anti-income tax battle and will launch a determined drive for repeal of the sales levy. Incidentally, a sales tax repeal act, ingeniously incorporated in a "single tax" act, already has been qualified for a place on the 1936 ballot. 3. Prediction that the voting public, which is often inclined to be against all taxes on general principles, may vote for the repeal of both the income and the sales tax. This, in effect, would constitute smashing defeats for the advocates of both the income and the sales levy the State with no substitute revenue sources except the generally discredited "single tax" proposal. With the election still more than a year distant, dire predictions should undoubtedly be discounted to some extent. On the other hand, the public tendency to be against all taxes is a factor which cannot be carelessly brushed aside. Paradoxical though it may seem, it is quite within the realm of possibility that the income tax, bitterly opposed by the well-to-do and wealthy, and the sales tax, just as bitterly condemned by modest wage-earners and the poor, could both be voted into the dis- ALL THE EGGS ONE BASKET It is said theseesses who go gala looking for County had something to labelled, "Soak tha exceedingly allure dangers of the "single tax" act and sidered.

Walter Johnson, the local base-el pitcher, on Thursday passed Addell's strikeout record, by taking out ten men in a game in Chicago. Johnson wins $500. He had two games to pitch, word which has not been received. The record was 307 strikeouts, to for Rube. This is the great-record of strikeouts in the history of baseball. A. Pierotti was in town from Centia on Monday morning. Reports the Placentia fruit association has let contract for a 250 packing house, 100 x 150 ft., with facilities extending the area of the structure. This will used later as a pre-cooling unit. Two new packing houses have been erected, and work up several others will soon begin. Night showers of rain fell early Tuesday morning, doing no damage to crops here, and laying dust. Tuesday night marked it chilly night of the year. A heavy wagon belonging to the Milling company crashed through the center of the Olive Ridge on Monday while proceeding to this city. Road Overseer Adman and a force of employees raided the break on Tuesday, it is now again open to the traveling public. Dr. John H.

McFadden was in town from Placentia on Tuesday. Should undoubtedly be discounted to some extent. On the other hand, the public tendency to be against all taxes is a factor which cannot be carelessly brushed aside. Paradoxical though it may seem, it is quite within the realm of possibility that the income tax, bitterly opposed by the well-to-do and wealthy, and the sales tax, just as bitterly condemned by modest wage-earners and the poor, could both be voted into the discard at the same election. Certain it is that the action of opponents of the income tax in launching a repeal campaign will intensify and solidify opposition to the sales tax, as the income levy was enacted by the Legislature on the theory that it would act as an offset to inequalities of the sales tax. And the in-between taxpaying groups, simply opposed to taxation, regardless of its manner or form, are quite likely to give aid and comfort to both sides. To California agriculture, the situation is dangerous in the extreme. The "single tax" proposal, which ordinarily would have no chance whatever, is baited with a proviso for repeal of the sales tax and the further proviso that "No sales tax ever be levied or collected in the State." And that bait, to the unthinking voter, irritated by constant demands for tax pennies on his purchases, will be Examples of Avenues per One-Way Traffic Using "Motor Traffic Ride Family Correction Book form this CITY Los Angeles ... 39c Long Beach ... 33c Santa Ana ... 15c Fullerton ... 6c Orange ... 9c Corona ... 42c Riverside ... 60c Belvedere ... 36c Norwalk ... 18c Whittier ... 24c Montebello ... 30c Pasadena ... 45c ATER ANAHEIM OPPOSITE CITY HALL GROCERY DEPARTMENT Herbert Our Prices on Sugar - Butter - Eggs are the Lowest Every day SALAD BOWL Salad Dressing and Sandwich Spread ½ Pint ... 12c Pint... 21c, Quart... 33c FRENCH DRESSING Butter, slds., lb. 32½ c Sugar, 10 lbs. 51c Oleo, 2 lbs. 27c Eggs, U.

Predicated on the time-worn and oft-rejected theory that unimproved property should be taxed on the basis as improved property, and on the added consumption that real estate should bear the brunt of the tax burden, the "single tax" would be little short of ruinous to the farming industry. And there is the added danger that in the event of the failure of regular tax sources to supply the needs of government, the State may automatically levy an valorem, or direct state property tax, to take up the slack. In other words, if the people, in protest against all taxation, voted down both the income tax and the sales tax, California farmers and other common property taxpayers would pay the freight! Organized agriculture favored the income tax to wipe out some of the inequalities inherent in the sales tax. Agriculture should fight to retain the income tax and it should also fight against any attempt to substitute the vicious "single tax, but neither agriculture nor the State as a whole can afford to jump from the frying pan into the fire.
