50 Years Ago March 20, 1887 Anaheim vineyards are putting forth leaves. In the warmer soils the vines show an unusual forwardness. The season thus far has been favorable for planting new vineyards and for the growth of old vines. But little, if any, irrigation has been required. The outlook is auspicious. Mr. J. E. Karnes has been elected superintendent of the Anaheim Union Water company for the coming year. Mr. Karnes comes highly recommended by the officers of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company in whose employ he has been for some time. Mann's thrilling Cyclorama of Mormon Life will appear in Kroeger's hall next Monday evening. The papers in this state where the show has appeared speak in the highest terms of the performance. We are convinced that the entertainment is a good one, and advise all to go. The thrilling mountain meadow massacre seems all well worth the price of admission, which is 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. Anaheim people should not fail to attend as the Cyclorama is interesting and entertaining throughout. The common council of Los Angeles has ordered advertisement for bids for an electric fire alarm system. This is a great departure from the old custom of galloping through the streets on horseback and firing revolvers to notify the Angels of a conflagration in their midst. More than fifteen hundred Easterners landed in Los Angeles on Wednesday. Travel is being directed this way and we shall soon feel the effect upon business in general. Our hotels are enjoying an excellent trade, there being many strangers in town. For the second time in the past year the residence of Kenyon Cox was visited by light-fingered gentry on Monday night while members of the family were asleep, and a lot of provisions and small articles were stolen.

It has been held by many that in a rainy season a great number of squirrels, gophers and other pests are destroyed. This year is most certainly an exception, at all events, farmers and vineyardists are complaining that the pests are worse than ever. Even in town gardens and orchards the earth is literally honey combed with gopher holes. Jack rabbits are also a nuisance. On a recent visit to the ostrich farm we counted 23 jackets within two hundred yards of the wagon gate, and this in the afternoon too. 25 Years Ago March 14, 1912 The city trustees held a special session Thursday night and adopted ordinance No. 238 calling the municipal election on Monday, April 8th.

Edison Company Will Broadcast Annual Meeting Plans for the radio broadcast of the annual meeting of stockholders of the Southern California Edison company, to be held March 19 at Los Angeles, were announced today by R. E. Bacon, division manager for the company in this territory. This unique public meeting plan will be utilized by the company to enable the greatest possible number of stockholders, customers and employees to hear the proceedings of the meeting. "It is the policy of the company to keep the public well informed concerning its activities," Bacon said. "Since its pioneer days, the Edison company's interests have been dependent upon and identified with the interests of the cities and towns it serves. This close relationship is due both to the nature of the company's business—supplying an essential service to a large number of people—and to the fact that the company's major ownership and administration is local. The Edison staff in each community is completely a 'home town' organization." The program of the meeting in the auditorium of the Edison building at Los Angeles will be put on the air over radio station KVOE, Santa Ana, from 12:15 o'clock to 1:00 o'clock and KHJ, Los Angeles and KFOX, Long Beach, from 12 noon to 1:00 o'clock. The Santa Ana station KVOE will broadcast its regular news report from 12 noon to 12:15 o'clock, and then join the net- SPORTOPIX by RUSS McCOME The Southern California high school basketball championship will rest in Orange county this year as the result of Tustin high school's 34 to 24 victory over Whittier Saturday night. In winning the southland crown, Coach Bill Cole's quintet gave Orange county a clean sweep of school championships available to county teams as Fullerton Jaysee had previously won the title in that division. Little Tustin has a right to be proud of its team. A member of the minor division of the Orange county league, the Tillers swept through their league schedule, beat Anaheim, major division winner, in two straight games, and then took, in order, Pasadena, Pomona, San Diego and Whittier, all school where any one class would probably outnumber the total enrollment at Tustin. A veteran, seasoned quintet, the Farmers performed all season like a well-balanced machine. Led by tall Sam Francis at center, Tustin's attack was one of the most deadly seen on a high school team hereabouts for some time. Francis got plenty of help from his brother, Paul, the Linker brothers, Vie and Walt, and Larry Monroy. A school noted for its basketball prowess, Tustin this year has one of the finest cage teams ever to represent an Orange county high school.

The radio broadcast plan for this year's annual meeting is in substitution for the wired radio transmission over the company's privately-owned telephone system, which was utilized last year. The new plan was adopted to reach the great majority of stockholders as well as consumers, and to effect a saving of time and effort for those unable to attend the meeting.

Los Angeles Street 502 West Center Musical Comedy Well Received "Hollywood Bound" Is Given by High School Pupils Friday Evening By Russell McComb Seldom has Anaheim union high school presented anything more pleasing to the audience than was "Hollywood Bound," musical comedy by Edward Bradley and Don Wilson, which was given last Friday evening by the combined glee clubs, orchestra and Mozart club. Through three acts of rapidly moving story and tuneful music a capacity crowd was removed from the routine of every day life into a world of make believe that became almost real through the excellent performances of the students. Each of the four principal characters was ably interpreted. James Jay as Bob Kent, Lois Miller as Marcia Norton, Rosemary Ramm as the Countess DeNorka and Roderick Craven as Windy Bryan left little to be desired in their singing and acting. Excellent support was given by the remainder of the cast, which featured Wilma Kerr as Agatha Wigglesworth, and the chorus work and dances were excellently done. Outstanding among the musical numbers and dances were "Shanghai Lullaby" by the countess and triple trio, "A Title Comes in Handy" by the countess and swing chorus, "Life's a Race" by Annette (Betty Jane Ward) and men dancers, dance of Fanfare and finaletto by the fanfare dancers and chorus and "Dancing on the Clouds" by the dance duo and Santa Fe Company Streamlines Chief Transformation of the Santa Fe railroad's Chief, crack flier operating daily between Chicago and Los Angeles, to a lightweight, streamlined train was announced today by Samuel T.

Bock Beer Season Opens with Spring Spring began on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, according to a mandate of the 13 major California breweries, which have officially decreed that day for the official opening of the Bock Beer season. Bock Beer harkens back to the days of moated castles and visored knights. It has heralded, the approach of spring these past 400 years, or since that spring day when an intemperate goat — "Bock" to you in German—leaped across the flagstones of a castle in Germany and "bocked," one of two gallant knights who, at the moment vied to outdo each other in downing the dark and delicious springtime brew. In that epochal second or two of time that famous goat leaped into immortality by dedicating the achievement to "Bock Beer" while the genteel knights drifted into oblivion. Bock Beer, say the present day brewmasters, is a vastly superior beverage to the dark and sinister malty brew of four centuries back. If modern methods and equipment mean anything at all.
