50 Years Ago APRIL 17, 1887 We sometimes wonder if we appreciate what we have to enjoy and with blessings surrounding us in such profusion, and had it brought to mind by a visiting friend who came from one of Los Angeles suburbs just after the heavy rain of last week, the first exclamation was, "What good roads, why we are all in a quagmire up our way," and it is a fact that we should make more of it when visitors come in from other parts of our own state as well as the East. We are particularly favored by our porous soil giving us roads which it is a pleasure to ride on when all the surrounding country is hub deep in the mire. On the other hand we need a Sunday closing law, the majority of our storekeepers are willing to close but don't wish to if the others keep open. Others say it is too puritical. It really would pay the property owners of Anaheim to boycott every store that keeps open on Sunday if from no higher motive than to induce a good class of immigrants to stay with us, but if some of them insist in keeping open, let us require our Town Council to give up a Sunday closing law. We have had an unusual number of visitors from abroad recently. Each one of us should endeavor to make it pleasant for them. A credit for hospitality Many women were in line. One auto driven by Charley Newcomb ran into a burro tied to a Los Angeles street hitching post and came off second best, its fender being broken and a rear wheel being put out of commission. For two weeks past forces divided between Clark, Cook, and Hamler on one side and Nagel, Gates, and Eymann on the other. Against these two tickets were the socialist candidates, Steadman, Fox, and Pressel. The result of the election showed the election of Stark and Cook for long term trustees and Hamler for short term. The total vote was: Stark 480; Cook 442; Gates 358; Nagel 292; Steadman 276; Fox 207; Hamler 447. Eymann 351. Pressel 216. For city treasurer John Hartung defeated Charlie Boege by a close vote 470 to 412. For city clerk Dad Merritt ran away from his socialist opponent Ira McAuley by a vote of 784 to 188. The proposition to pay members of the board of city trustees a salary of $10 per month carried by a vote of 402 to 231.

Already we begin to see the fruit of the good work commenced by the Town Council in making sidewalks and setting out trees. New fences are going up, door yards are being given extra attention and paint and whitewash are supplementing nature in making things attractive. The heavy rains of last week caused the Santa Ana river to overflow its banks again and deluge a large area in the Gospel Swamp country causing quite a lot of damage to fences and outbuildings. Rain has been falling in the northern part of the state during the last 24 hours and we may expect the arrival of the storm today or tomorrow. H. C.

Sheppard Seeks Seasonal Home Sites On Desert Facts regarding the growing popularity of San Bernardino and Riverside counties desert areas for recreation and health purposes were presented to the committee on public lands of the house of representatives by Congressman Harry R. Sheppard this week. Sheppard introduced a bill, which provides for authorizing the secretary of the interior to establish and sell townsites for recreational or seasonal home sites on government land. In commenting on the need for such legislation, Sheppard stated, "There are literally thousands of persons in southern California who would like to have a home-site on our desert for recreational or health reasons. Their present problem is that of price and water supply. I realize that it would be foolish to encourage large numbers of people to come to our desert in the hope of making a living and, therefore, emphasis must be placed on the recreational and health value 3 of this bill provides ing water for such town section 2 limits purchase lot per person. This will prevent speculation."
