PATHFINDER Recalls Old Days REMINISCES OLD DREYFUS BUILDING ERECTED IN 1883 During the year 1883, what is now known as the Dreyfus building located about a mile southwest of town, was built by the late Benjamin Dreyfus. The building is of large dimensions and was constructed as a winery, equipped with modern machinery for the manufacture of wine on a large scale. The plant was in operation for only one year however. A disease called the phylloxera destroyed all the grape vines in this valley in 1884. That caused a great loss to all the vineyardists. The Dreyfus winery was dismantled at a severe loss to the owner. The building now is used for the manufacture of gin. SHEEP RAISING WAS BIG INDUSTRY Sheep raising was one of the big enterprises here in the early days and of course there were many sheep shearers, mostly Mexicans. There were two outstanding gangs here and they each had a big boss, one named Santos and the other Manuel. There was rivally between them and they took pride in their work, each endeavoring to shear the greatest number of sheep in the shortest length of time. The two bosses were hostile to one another and would fight at the drop of the hat. One day on South Los Angeles street Manuel pulled his gun on Santos, but the weapon jammed, no shot being fired. At a distance of twenty yards Santos reached down into ANAH VOL. LXVI HALLOWEEN SPIRIT TAKES CITY BY COSTUMED FIGURES PROMENADE MERRIMAKING OPENS ANNUAL Many Original Costumes Make Apeparation on First Day of Celebration. Pictures Taken at Studios; Programs Arranged For Two-Day Event Carried Out As Prescribed. Ernest Dubois, President of Association Takes Over Direction of Traffic; Police Dept. Hiding Behind Whiskers. Wednesday morning in Anaheim broke with a “riot” of color. Staid business men slipped quietly out of the homes so that the “boss” wouldn’t come out with a “Henry, come HERE!” An inspection tour along about 6 a.m. found the “old man” looking out the window to see if George had yet made his appearance. Jim Kilduff, the Colorado university student who conducts a meat business in the Greater Anaheim had to open up and while he wasn’t looking Ed Frazee, old “vege” himself slipped in behind Herb Meisinger. Then next we found the boys in the “Alphabeta” store from the Hebrew to the Spanish Cabalero, with their backs all turned to the street (o, no, not ashamed of their faces . . . but you know just kinda well a little bit bashful . . er, sumthing.).

There was rivally between them and they took pride in their work, each endeavoring to shear the greatest number of sheep in the shortest length of time. The two bosses were hostile to one another and would fight at the drop of the hat. One day on South Los Angeles street Manuel pulled his gun on Santos, but the weapon jammed, no shot being fired. At a distance of twenty yards Santos reached down into his boot and unlimbered his six shooter. He aimed at the feet of Manuel and the later sure danced a rapid two-step while in the act of sidestepping the bullets that came his way. That event somewhat cooled their anger and they were good friends ever after. LOTHARIO MEETS MATCH IN FATHER In the early days when the Olive road was a winding trail in the chapparall, a gay lothario who believed his romances with the fair-sex were all conquests, courted the daughter of a settler who lived in a modest home in the clearing near what is now the Olive bridge. He was persistent in his attentions to the young lady, and the father rebelled, and finally one bright moonlight night the parent attempted to beat up on the ardent lover. The latter however was fleet of foot and moved fast on an outward course with the father in close pursuit, threatening dire vengeance. As the young fellow was leaning on the breeze, a jack rabbit jumped into the trail just ahead of him. In a short time the local playboy overtook the rabbit and giving it a kick remarked, “get out of the way and let a fellow run who has to run.” HORSE THIEVES ACTIVE IN EARLY DAY Going back to the horse and buggy days there were times here at intervals when a horse would be stolen. Sometimes the thief would take two or three days time to run a twenty dollar horse below the line into Mexico. Over in the Santiago mountains and also on the range near Escondido good hiding out places existed in the ravines and wooded areas, where the stolen animals would be kept, before disposing of them to some unsuspecting buyer. There used to be a wise hombre in these parts in the early days, who every so often next we found the boys in the “Alphabeta” store from the Hebrew to the Spanish Cabalero, with their backs all turned to the street (o, no, not ashamed of their faces . . . but you know just kinda well a little bit bashful . . er, sumthing.). Haven’t been able to find Jim Bouldin but someone told us that he hadn’t left town. The barbers have had to really become tonsochiros is proven by the weird shapes which the beards of the business men are sporting these days. Ray Van Wagoner walked up to Monte Webb and said “Monte fixer up” and Monte did. The job, well, kinda lost nerye and didn’t wait for the fini. Maw and Paw Gledhill were short only the steers and the hosses but then Jack sez that “I low as heow the gas i'ma sellin’ is no bum steer so we're not altogether outa steers.” Sh . . . sh . . . the Parson just walked in . . . o, no that's the boss. And look at the gamboleer . . . he's entrusted with the water company's money and look at 'im . . . then they say Leo's a derned poor poker player. You know he's a namesake of the famous Phil Sheridan. Ernie Dubois, president of the merchants association, dressed as the ringmaster, and acting chief of the traffic squad, made the rounds to ascertain who and why of the costumes in various places of business. Al Brunet, proved to be a quick change artist (not short, short it was from business to full change) He maintained his costume to fit the various types visiting his institution. One walking into the Bank of America would hesitate as to which window one would approach. They were all there from the slick glib-tongued docile- appearing teller and bookkeeper to Simon Legree. Group pictures were the mode yesterday. Each of the studios were visited by groups and the photographers themselves in some cases had assistants “manipulate the birdies” and squeeze the bulb. In J. C. Penney store this morning one could find everything from Mother Hubbard to the demure miss of the early day, coupled with the hairy physiognomies of the male gender.

The 5-cent fares were put in a metal container that looked like an alarm clock, and a small handle on the dial was turned which registered the fare. At the end of each day the conductor deposited the container with the secretary of the company, who was also an editor, with offices on Center street. One afternoon an old time printer dropped into the office to look over the exchanges. He espied the contrivance containing the nickles and wondered what it was. He turned the handle about twenty times, each time registering up another nickel. Still he couldn't figure out what it was and then replaced it in the pigeon hole. When the secretary later counted the cash he found the account short those twenty nickels. (Continued on page 5) Group pictures were the mode yesterday. Each of the studios were visited by groups and the photographers themselves in some cases had assistants "manipulate the birdies" and squeeze the bulb. In J. C. Penney store this morning one could find everything from Mother Hubbard to the demure miss of the early day, coupled with the hairy physiognomies of the male gender. Lawrence Poirier of the Alpha Beta vegetable department tried to sell native food while dressed as the Rajah of Simp Pora and many of the ladies reverted to hoop (whoop) skirts after it was learned that Old Abe Lincoln had come back to pay us a visit. Kangaroo court opened this morning at 9 o'clock but the judge was undisturbed inasmuch as all in the city were GOOD lawabiding folk even to, in many cases, the facial makeup. And . . . needless to say that the entire day Wednesday was given over to a fashion promenade which was judged by Col. "Frumthe South-Suh" Reid who called upon Mother Invention instead of Mother Nature to assist with the hirsute adornment. The parade for the event will start tonight at 7:30 and the line of march is as follows: Assembling points, Division 1—Melrose just south of Center; Division 2—Santa Fe, north of Center; Division 3—South Olive street; Division 4—North Olive Street; Division 5—North Philadelphia and Division 6—South Philadelphia.
