50 Years Ago April 3, 1887. The purchase of the rancho San Jose de Buenos Ayres of John Wolfskill by the A. & P. or the A. T. & S. F. Railroad Co. and the interest of Mrs. Shepard in adjoining lands is a prominent topic of conversation in business circles. The movement was construed as an indication that the land was purchased for the purpose of obtaining a route to the sea, either at Old Santa Monica canyon or at South Santa Monica, as the old project of purchasing Rattlesnake Island failed in consequence of the high price demanded for the property. The present purchase is a very valuable tract of land and is a good thing to keep. The state viticultural society has issued a circular calling the attention of vine growers to the importance of the legislation now pending in congress, having for its purpose the enactment of laws to prevent the adulteration of wines and the protection of the pure native wine manufacturers. The society appeals to those interested in wine making for assistance in securing the passage of the pending bills. It is proposed to send Chas. A. Wetmore to Washington for this purpose. Mr. A. Langenberger has been appointed to represent Anaheim as a member of the committee of ways and means, and would be glad to furnish information and receive contributions for this important matter. The strike of railroad employees in the southwest is still unsettled, though efforts are being made for a settlement. There has been no report of suffering on the part of Jay Gould for want of bread, but the strikers are reported to be anxious to get back into their old positions. The question being who among them will be taken back. Roadmaster Paty is grading several streets. Broadway from the depot to the Landing road and also the street running west from the depot.

SPORTOPIX by RUSS McCOMB With an announcement of the identity of the new field manager for the Anaheim Valencias expected to be made within a day or two first call for players for the squad has been sounded. Veterans and rookies alike will assemble at the city park grounds next Monday evening for the first workout of the season. Business Manager Bill Feistner plans to hold workouts each Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening until May 7 when inter-club games will start. Reorganization of the city baseball commission was completed last Friday with the election of Bill Webb as president. Frank Tausch was chosen secretary-treasurer. Other members of the commission are Joe C. Elliott, Pete Wisser and Pete Funk. Elliott's resignation as field manager of the Valencias was accepted Friday evening and negotiations started immediately to select his successor. A man well known in the National Nightball league is being sought, Webb declared yesterday, predicting if the man is obtained that Anaheim fans will be well pleased. Feistner has been active during the winter months in lining up additional talent. Having signed Lyle Morse as a gunner, Bill figures he had the best hurling staff in the loop in String McDonnell, Wilbur Stinchfield and Morse. Figured to patrol the outer gardens are Fred Wiseman, Leavitt Daley and Dave Webb, who experts believe will give the Valencias one of the finest outfields in the league both offensively and County’s Taxes Above Average Per capita general county taxes for current purposes in Orange county averaged $8.49 for 1936-37, according to a study recently completed by California Taxpayers' association. In addition to this levy, the association stated, an average of 57 cents per capita was levied for bonds, $14.62 for current school purposes, $3.49 for school bonds, and $4.73 for county special districts. The total for county, school, and special district purposes, the association stated, was $31.50 per capita. For the state as a whole, the association found that the average per capita levy for general county purposes for 1936-37 was $11.74, for county bonds 70 cents, for current school purposes $8.68, for school bonds $2.87, and for special district taxes $1.23, the total average per capita taxes levied, exclusive of cities, being $25.22. In 24 California counties the total average per capita tax levy, exclusive of cities, was higher than the state average of $25.22, the association found. Included in these counties is Orange. Sixteen counties showed no levies of general county taxes for bonds, the association found, and five had no levies for special district taxes during 1936-37.

Figured to patrol the outer gardens are Fred Wiseman, Leavitt Daley and Dave Webb, who experts believe will give the Valencias one of the finest outfields in the league, both offensively and defensively. A big gap in the infield, caused by the release of Chuck Comstock, must be filled, but the business manager believes he has obtained the replacements needed. Emmy Wilcox and Brooks Sackett will return to handle the catching duties, although Feistner may add another receiver, and assign Sackett to outfield duties. Membership in the loop is still somewhat undecided with both Olive and Westminster question marks. Olive, angling to move to Brea, will not do so, but may light someplace else. Westminster is without a park now, and may be a traveling club.

"Open House" will be held so that people in the surrounding country and communities may become better acquainted with camp personnel and soil erosion control measures they have accomplished. Erosion control treatment on 159 farms with an area of 8588 acres has been completed by enrollees from these nine camps, working under the direction of trained engineers, foresters, agronomists, and other soil conservation technicians attached to the camps. Plans have been made for similar work on 15,000 acres. Short-tailed shrews, weighing only 11 grams, can catch and kill mice. Marathon Relay to Run at Bridge Fete A marathon relay race from San Rafael across the Golden Gate bridge to San Francisco will be one of the feature sports attractions of the Golden Gate Bridge flesta, May 27 to June 2, according to announcement by W. M. Coffman, sports chairman. Covering a distance of approximately 20 miles the runners, five to each team, will run in relays of four miles each. Entries are now being received.

February Gasoline Sales Suffer Loss A decrease in gasoline tax income for the month of February was reported by the state board of equalization. Board records showed that the sale of gasoline for February amounted to 115,943.267.3 gallons, on which the state collected a tax totaling $3,443,515.11. This was a decrease of $98,633.15, or 2.78 per cent, as compared with the same month of 1936. At the same time the February total represented a decrease of 9.79 per cent compared with January of this year, when the income from the tax amounted to $3.817,-392.35. Officials attributed the drop to the short month and in-element weather, which kept many motorists off California highways. Who's Who? And Why?

A Luxurious Room with Bath from $2.50 Single HOTEL Clark 426 SOUTH HILL STREET Sheppard Seeks More Funds for Frost Forecast Insisting that California citrus growers need more adequate weather bureau facilities for frost warning purposes Congressman Harry R. Sheppard left a conference with department of agriculture officials Tuesday indicating that he would lead a delegation before the sub-committee on agricultural appropriations for the purpose of getting additional funds for weather bureau operations in the citrus district. Failing to get additional money added to the weather bureau's budget because the bureau of the budget has already passed upon that item Congressman Sheppard stated that the sub-committee on agricultural appropriations would be presented with the facts concerning the need for the allocation. Increase Noted in Sale of Used Cars A surprising increase in volume of used cars handled by automobile dealers has taken place in the last decade. Ira B. Groves, manager of the Long Beach Ford Motor company branch, declared: "Ten years ago the average value of used cars was $150.00 each; today the average value is $210.00, an increase of 40 per cent." These figures, compiled by the Ford Motor company indicate, according to Groves, a much higher standard of value now available to used car buyers. Because improved economic conditions have increased the potential number of used car buyers, he declared, all indications point to 1937 as one of the outstanding sales years in used car records. Stewart Leases Pickwick Hotel Announcement was made today that C. O. Stewart, formerly of Douglas and Nogales, Artz., had taken a five-year lease on the Pickwick hotel on South Los Angeles street.
