50 Years Ago July 17, 1887 A man from San Bernardino, a carpenter by trade, was in Anaheim this week, exhibiting a feature of the days of '49—when a $20 gold piece was not considered of more value than a quarter is now. He was about two sheets in the wind and lavishly displayed a handful of twenties, and gave some odd dollars to boys who were standing around. "A fool and his money are soon parted," and so it was in this case. We advise everyone going camping to be particularly careful in using corned beef and in fact, all canned meats. Last Sunday a party went to Long Beach, and among their eatables had a few cans of corned beef. That night they were taken with cramps and were very ill the next day. To prove that it was the corned beef we have two reasons. First, those who did not eat the meat were not ill; second, on examination of some of the meat, a green film was discovered on it, close to the can. Several cases of poisoning have occurred of late throughout the country. The meat should be thoroughly heated before serving. Adolph Hensler returned on Saturday from a visit to the mountains, having been thoroughly disgusted with the prospects of the trip at the sights of myriads of tarantulas, and rattlesnakes. There were many deer, but as they were difficult to get, he killed only one during his stay. It is a very low order of intelligence which finds amusement in after the details of the dance in the evening. The dance at the opera house at night was very largely patronized. The committee in charge was composed of Harvey Holland, Billy Lake, Joe Hessel, Otto Rees, Bert Schindeldecker, Dick Ahern, Roy Gardner, and John Schumacher. Streets along the auto racing course were literally packed during the several events of the afternoon. In fact, barring the one frightful fatality of the afternoon there was not a thing to mar the enjoyment of the racing program. Charley Batterson, an employee of the Anaheim Motor company, was instantly killed when his machine (a Colby) turned turtle at a crossing of the railroad spur on the Ball road leading to the old Dreyfus winery. Exactly how the accident occurred will never be known, because it was all over so quickly that even Alfred Seale, the mechanician who was riding in the machine with the unfortunate victim, cannot give an exact account of the matter. Charley Batterson had been a resident of Anaheim for about two years. He came here from Iowa and made his home with a sister and two children. He had a host of loyal friends who are deeply grieved at this tragic death. The remains were sent to the father at Keola, Iowa, for interment at that place. Rev. H. D. Schmelzer, pastor of the German Lutheran church, is attending a conference at San Francisco this week. Mr. Schmelzer is popular with his congregation and it is hoped he will retain his pastorate here.

It is a very low order of intelligence which finds amusement in smearing paint on houses as was done on Tuesday night on the drug store of Mr. Krug. If the individuals guilty of the outrage will listen to the opinion expressed concerning it by decent people, they will realize with what contempt such actions are regarded. Watermelons are plentiful and enormous this year. They are selling it from five to fifteen cents apiece. 25 Years Ago July 11, 1912 City Marshall Kellenberger was shot and dangerously wounded by Lino Almendares in a yard at the rear of Louis Kroeger's store at 8:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning. Kellenberger was shot twice through the right lung, he was immediately taken to the sanitarium and the bullets extracted. Drs. Johnston and Beebe state that he has a fighting chance for recovery. Almendares was captured beyond Buena Park shortly before noon by a posse in charge of Deputy Sheriff Bob Squires and Officer Phil Germann. He was taken to the county jail and locked up. Almendares and two other Mexicans had been carousing in a house in an alley in the rear of Louis Kroeger's store. Marshall Kellenberger was called for and as he appeared, Almendares strode out firing three shots. Kellenberger drew his revolver as he fell but was too badly injured to use it. Louis Kroeger ran to his assistance. He took Kellenberger's revolver and ran after the Mexican who was seen by Rosa Bernard, an employee at the Arden rooming house, to run up the alley, climb over a fence in the rear of Wood's barn and sprint through an orange orchard to Broadway. Coming out on Lemon street he seized a bicycle and turned west on Santa Ana street. He followed the millennium track to Buena. Rev. H. D. Schmelzer, pastor of the German Lutheran church, is attending a conference at San Francisco this week. Mr. Schmelzer is popular with his congregation and it is hoped he will retain his pastorate here. Fritz Yungblut and Hugo Strodthoff did some fishing at the Anaheim Landing Sunday. Fritz really caught some fish, but the best Hugo could do was to land a fine stingaree. Harry Pearson, who spent the day comfortably in his old clothes, returned to this city in the afternoon, donned a new suit, and returned (not alone) to spend the evening at the beach. Mrs. Fred Himpau entertained the Ladies' Euchre club of Wednesday afternoon, last at which the usual game of progressive euchre was played: Mrs. Shanley won the first prize, a cut glass bowl, Mrs. Zens the second, a hand painted plate, and Mrs. Dwyer the consolation, a gold flower holder. Delicious refreshments were served during the afternoon. The engagement is announced of Mr. Jackson of the Colby garage, and Miss Emma Backs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Backs, of this city. The wedding will occur the 1st of August and several social affairs have been planned in honor of the bride. Kurt Epstein returned Tuesday evening from a week's vacation trip spent in the San Joaquin valley. He says the upper valley is very hot. Robert B.

Coming out on Lemon street he seized a bicycle and turned west on Santa Ana street. He followed the railroad track to Buena Park where some hours later he was taken into custody. When news of his capture reached town, talk of lynching was heard on every hand. One man procured a rope. Reports from the bedside of the wounded man yesterday were to the effect that his condition had improved slightly. Twice during the day he had sinking spells, but during the evening hours an improvement was noted. Great crowds came, saw and went away satisfied with the day's entertainment supplied by the Automobile club and the Eagles lodge in celebration of the Fourth of July at Columbia Gardens on Thursday last. The barbecue, one of the features that will be remembered for a long time, was in charge of Bob Sparks, who was ably assisted by Eli Sparks, Bert Annin, and John Hunt. Earl Dutton and Frank Arnold were master of ceremonies at the Eagle celebration and Phil Germann was sergeant-at-arms for the park.

Flood Control Project Workers Will Receive Prevailing Wages Residents of Orange county who are given jobs on the $15,248,000 water project will be paid real wages. This assurance to the workers of the county was given today by Captain Cruse, U. S. army engineer stationed in Los Angeles. Captain Cruse said that prevailing wages will be paid on construction work connected with building the eight dams which will give Orange county permanent flood protection and conservation of an average of 41,000 acre feet of water annually. Standard wages invariably are paid in contracts with the government, the army officer said, and they are specified in the contracts.

Christian Science Church Life" is the subject of the Les-Sermon on Sunday in all churches of The Mother Church, First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Massachusetts. Us' words, from Luke, are the den Text: "Now that the dead raised, even Moses shewed at bush, when he calleth the Lord God of Abraham, and the God Isaac, and the God of Jacob, he is not a God of the dead, of the living; for all love unto." Among the Bible citations in the Jesse-Sermon are Paul's words the Romans: "And we know all things work together for us to them that love God, to whom are the called according to his purpose. . . . What shall we say to these things? If God for us, who can be against us? Who shall separate us from the Son of Christ? shall tribulation, or press, or presecution, or famine, nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are less than conquerors through that loved us." correlative passage from science and health with Key to Scriptures," by Mary Baker Yates; states: "When the evidence are the material senses yielded spiritual sense, the apostle deed that nothing could alienate from God, from the sweet ease and presence of Life and death." Captain Cruise said that prevailing wages will be paid on construction work connected with building the eight dams which will give Orange county permanent flood protection and conservation of an average of 41,000 feet of water annually. Standard wages invariably are paid in contracts with the government. The army officer said, and they are specified in the contracts. He pointed out that the wage scale will be based on wages prevailing in the district. It was pointed out that the work will not be what the army engineers term a "relief job." In other words, real wages will be paid, and not comparatively low WPA scales. With this assurance, laboring groups of Orange county are expected to unite to support the water program, which will mean jobs for more than a thousand men over a period of three years. All labor will benefit from the program, and business will be stimulated by the expenditure of millions of dollars in a small territory. Orange county is required only to show its good faith by purchasing and clearing reservoir sites, guaranteeing damage claims and providing some incidental channels for directing the controlled flow of the retaining basins. Members of the county-wide Flood Control Committee, headed by A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana, are urging voters to pile up an overwhelming majority in favor of the $2,500,000 water bond issue at the election July 27, Governor Frank F. Merriam recently signed two important measures adopted by the 1937 legislature in reference to the Unemployment Reserves act—namely, reduction of coverage from employers hiring eight or more persons, to those hiring four or more, and adoption of a new benefit structure. The governor's signature on the bill means that some 50,000 new employers and their employees must pay contributions to the unemployment reserves fund, thereby insuring compensation benefits to a greater number of California workers. As nearly as can be estimated, 300,000 more employees will be added to the 1,300,000 now covered. As a result of the bill, the unemployment reserves commission will receive contributions from some 70,000 subject employers in California, and in the neighborhood of 1,600,000 employees. The new bill will go into effect January 1, 1938, shortly after which the commission will commence payment of unemployment compensation. The new benefit structure sets up a definite schedule of payments, fixing the maximum which any one person can receive in any benefit year as $300. It also eliminates the original complicated method of computing benefits. It is said that Columbus was probably the first white man to set eyes on corn. He saw it growing in a field after his arrival in America. L. W. BLODGET and THOMAS H.

NEFF 902 Moore Bldg. SANTA ANA Telephone 360 Motorists Have Many New Laws Of 562 proposed state laws affecting motorists, the legislature this year kicked aside the bad and approved the meritorious, says a summarization by the Automobile Club of Southern California. Among principal changes in the highway and vehicle code recently approved by the governor are the following: An amendment permitting greater flexibility in the allocation of primary funds for secondary state highway work greatly needed in Southern California, also requiring state highway expenditures in Southern California equivalent to larger sums of federal aid funds received in the north. The comparatively few code revisions were mainly technical, but one makes it compulsory to dim headlights, or rather to use the lower beams, when approaching within 500 feet of an oncoming car. This will require use of lower beams almost exclusively on city streets at night, and increase safety also on the open road. Threatened gasoline tax diversion was dealt a severe blow with the adoption of a constitutional amendment which is designed to prevent use of such funds for other than street and highway purposes. As a straight issue substantially the same as Initiative No. 10 on the last November ballot, except for elimination of the Deisel fuel provision, its approval by the voters at the next general election is anticipated. A new excise tax of 3 cents per gallon on use of Deisel fuel in highway transportation is already in effect.
