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 NOVEMBER 7, 1885 The Board of Town Trustees met in regular session on Wednesday. The resignation of f.E. F. Newbold as Town Clerk was accepted and J. B. Pierce was unanimously elected to take his place. Mr. Bentz addressed the Board relative to using oil as fuel at the water works instead of wood or coal. He offered to furnish a tank to hold the oil if the town would build the frame, the work of elevating the oil being the principal objection of the engineer to its use. The proposition was referred to the committee on Public improvements with power to act. The bill of the railroad committee, laid over from the last meeting was ordered paid. Messrs. Hilmer and Northam were appointed a committee to confer with the officers of the Immigration association regarding the refunding to the town treasury of the $300 donated to the association by the former board. The trustees want the association to pay into the treasury ten per cent, commission on all sales, until the amount of $300 is refunded. There come to us from time to time dismal tidings of matters and things in the northern part of the state. The City of San Francisco is dull. Trade is about as blue as it has ever been even the newsly arrived from Europe will assist him in the management of the business. Mr. and Mrs. Fred C. Rimpau whose marriage is recorded today, are in San Bernardino on their wedding trip. Everybody in Anaheim knows the young people, and there are none who will not wish them all manner of good luck. And the Gazette, especially sends them greetings and hopes that their married life will be a long and happy one. Married—In Anaheim Nov. 4th at the Catholic church by Rev. Father Hawe, Mr. F. C. Rimpau to Miss Nellie Smythe, both of Anaheim. The Internal Revenue Department is getting in its work in Santa Ana. The winery of Peter Eschelbach was seized in Thursday for violation of the statutes in that case made and provided. Peter is absent in Maine on Missionary work, and a mean advantage is being taken of his absence. Mr. Chas. Hilmer returned the other day from a trip through the northern part of the state and confirms the opinion expressed elsewhere of the prevailing depression. His daughters, Misses Katie and Sallie Hilmer, have entered the Stockton-business college as pupils and will finish their education there. Ex-sheriff Rowland is lying seriously ill in Los Angeles. Thursday the 26 inst has been proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving and prayer and turkey. Born—In Anaheim, Nov. 3, the wife of Tim Carroll, a son. 25 Years Ago NOVEMBER 3, 1910 "Money is being used," shriek a San Francisco newspaper, corrupt interior newspapers to oppose the Fair Tax." So? Funny how these San Francisco papers shriek about the corrupt use of money to make a self-respecting newspaper to feel itself impelled to oppose this $5,000,000 tax graft and the only use of money which we have been able to discern that which keeps a coterie of tax boosters in the field urging new papers and voters generally support this proposed tax upon the property of those who are illegible to pay it. Down with it Let San Francisco finance her own fair. Also down with the $18,000,000 road bonds, from which San Francisco has secured exemption from interest payments if they should carry. Down with all these bond issues which are nothing short of infamous. They seek to plunge the taxpayers of the state into deep and everlasting indebtedness. The school trustees of this district will soon call an election for bonds in the sum of $40,000 for the erection of a school building. In order to meet the demands our constantly growing population, more school room is necessary. The district's school house are inadequate to the demand made upon them, and the trustees have been compelled to rent room to provide for the overflow. of the $300 donated to the association by the former board. The trustees want the association to pay into the treasury ten per cent, commission on all sales, until the amount of $300 is refunded. There come to us from time to time dismal tidings of matters and things in the northern part of the state. The City of San Francisco is dull. Trade is about as blue as it has ever been even the newspapers of the city are openly discussing it and are figuratively speaking, whistling to keep their courage up. From the interior come the same discouraging reports. We have already noted in these columns the depressed condition of affairs in the San Joaquin valley, and the same unhappy business stagnation is true of nearly all the northern counties. As compared with conditions of affairs in the north the people of the southern counties have reason to congratulate themselves. Certainly there is no such depression in trade here. Produces have fared better and there are few who have not done fairly well the past year "all things considered." And then too there is the glorious climate. Mr. Nebelung has bought the store formerly kept by E. F. Newbold, and will add largely to the stock immediately, so that he will have a complete assortment of everything in his line. He will also give much of his time to the real estate business. His brother, Mr. Frank Nebelung, who recent- Mr. Chas. Hilmer returned the other day from a trip through the northern part of the state and confirms the opinion expressed elsewhere of the prevailing depression. His daughters, Misses Katie and Sallie Hilmer, have entered the Stockton business college as pupils and will finish their education there. One day last week Mr. G. W. Sponable drove to the hills for a load of wood, taking with him a new Winchester rifle. While gathering the wood he was necessarily away from the wagon for a short time, but it was never out of his sight, yet the rifle and his lunch were taken from the wagon, and there is no clue to the clever thief. That remarkable vineyard of Mr. J. J. Duff which gave 12 tons to the acre of first crop, yielded about 3½ tons second crop, making the total yield 15½ tons of grapes to the acre. It is a remarkable record. Pellegrin Bros. have issued a circular warning the public that W. Hutchings is no longer employed by them in their musical instruments department and that his representations that he is the agent for the A. K. Clark and Bartlett Bros. are false. Capt. A. S. Ferguson arrived from San Francisco on Monday to look after his business affairs. One result of his visit is the inauguration of improvements on the Planters Hotel building. The first sign of the approach of the holiday season is given in the advertisement of Mr. Luedke. He has a most beautiful collection of toys and vases, and we advise everybody to call and inspect his stock. A sweet potato, weighing a trifle over fifty pounds, was grown this season by Mr. Alfred Beckett in his place at Garden Grove. The potato will be sent to Los Angeles. Some years ago he raised one which weighed 47 pounds. Rev. Alex Parker of Orange is expected to supply the pulpit of the Proshutarian church tomorrow. The school trustees of this district will soon call an election for bonds in the sum of $40,000 for the erection of a school building. In order to meet the demands on our constantly growing population, more school room is necessary. The district's school house are inadequate to the demand made upon them, and the trustees have been compelled to rent rooms to provide for the overflow. They should be no objection to these bonds. Additional school room demanded and bonds are the only means at command of the district for procuring it. In this connection it may be pointed out that on Tuesday next there will be several fantastic state bond positions to be submitted to the voters, aggregating many millions...

There These, we believe should be defeated. Let us vote money to build school houses at home but let us draw the line at political grates at the treasury. Four windows were recently broken in the public library building and a rare coin abstracted from the curio case. The perpetrators of these acts of vandalism should be severely punished, and the library trustees will pay a liberal reward for information leading to their arrest and conviction. The articles in the curio case do not belong to the library, but to an old soldier who kindly loaned them to make the children's room more attractive. Since the disappearance of this coin all other articles of great value have been removed from the case. Louis Denni was in town on Monday from his dairy ranch at Los Alamitos.

Shows Gain Bank of America's September index of far western business stood at 70.8, the highest level reached in 45 months. This is a gain of 11.3 percent over September a year ago, and 29.4 percent above the depression low recorded in March, 1935. This index is based upon an average of the June-July 1910-15 index as 100. Far western retail trade, based upon sales of 91 retail establishments in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, increased 8.8 per cent during September, as compared with the same month of last year. In California the gain was 11 per cent. Stores in Long Beach, San Diego and Santa Monica together showed a gain of 14.3 per cent over sales in September, 1934, while eight major stores in Los Angeles revealed a net gain of 13.4 percent. Employment in California manufacturing industries gained 11.3 percent during September, 1935, and payrolls increased 21.5 per cent over September of last year. This was largely due to the peak in the canning industry. Exclusive of this increase, employment showed four percent increase over last year and pay rolls 15 percent increase. Los Angeles county gained 9.7 percent in employment and 14.7 percent in pay rolls over September of a year ago. Bank debits which, according to the business review, are indicative of business activity, showed a 21 percent increase for California over one year ago. This is a 30.6 percent increase over September, 1933. week of Miss Theresa Fay. Dr. Barnes of Santa Ana demo- THE FARMER'S CORNER By RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California California common property taxpayers, if they are vigilant in their own defense, and in guarding against chaotic conditions in state finance, will take definite and organized action to prevent possible enactment of the "single tax" act which will be submitted to the voters at the next general election. That positive declaration comes from F. E. Stewart, member of the State Board of Equalization and co-author of the Riley-Stewart Tax Relief Program, which was adopted two years ago to ease the burden on local taxpayers and shift the burden of school costs from the counties to the State. California agriculture, Stewart said, would be seriously discriminated against, if the "single tax" measure, with its sales tax repeal proviso, was adopted, and both the farmer and the home-owner would be forced to carry an exorbitant tax load which in many instances would result in tax confiscation of their properties. Calling on farm organizations and other representatives of common property taxpayers to organize to fight the "single tax" proposal, Stewart said: "The so-called 'single tax' is based on the old and now thoroughly discredited theory that property should bear the brunt of the tax burden. This theory in turn, was based on the faulty premise—utterly unsound under present conditions—that a man's property holdings were an accurate index of his wealth. The absurdity of offering such a tax proposal is clearly apparent when it is understood that many of our wealthiest men and richest cor- and other comparatively "unimproved" farm lands. And it would be equally disastrous to thousands of owners of city property. "Regardless of any frills or vote-catching amendments which may have been tacked on to the 'single tax' proposal to be submitted to California voters, it is fundamentally wrong and dangerous." The Board of Equalization member also directed a vigorous attack at the sales tax repeal rider attached to the "single tax" measure, declaring that abolition of the sales tax at this time would (Continued on page 5) and 14.7 percent in pay rolls over September of a year ago. Bank debits which, according to the business review, are indicative of business activity, showed a 21 percent increase for California over one year ago. This is a 30.6 percent increase over September, 1933. week of Miss Theresa Fay. Dr. Barnes of Santa Ana democratic candidate for coroner and public administrator, was in town on Saturday shaking hands with friends. Those radios they put in the cars are cute little things and no doubt are the cause of many accidents, because the drivers haven't got their minds on their business. The so-called single tax is based on the old and now thoroughly discredited theory that property should bear the brunt of the tax burden. This theory in turn, was based on the faulty premise—utterly unsound under present conditions—that a man's property holdings were an accurate index of his wealth. The absurdity of offering such a tax proposal is clearly apparent when it is understood that many of our wealthiest men and richest corporations have little or no property today, but have their money in stocks and bonds. "The single tax" also embraces the unsound and ruinous theory that improved and unimproved property should be taxed on the same basis. Such a tax would be disastrous to thousands of farmers with many acres of grazing lands HEIM MARKET CITY HALL PHONE 2905 Herbert Meisinger, Mgr. the latest!
