25 Years Ago July 25, 1912 Opening for business for the first time on Monday, the Anaheim National bank, located in handsome quarters in the Zeigler block on West Center street, reported deposits for the first day's business aggregating $34,270.06. Chas. Eygabroad is president; F. C. Krause, cashier. These gentlemen will have personal management and will be at the bank each day during business hours. The Board of Directors besides these two gentlemen, include J. W. Duckworth, V. U. Simpson, G. W. Hamler, S. C. Hartranft, all of this city, and M. H. Hellman of the Merchants National Bank of Los Angeles. Sixteen days after his attempted murder by the Cholo Almendares, John Kellenberger is sufficiently recovered to sit up daily in his room in the hospital, read the papers and chat with such callers as his physicians permit him to see. A reporter from this journal called upon Kellenberger in his room in the hospital Monday morning by permission of Dr. Johnston. His first question was: "How did the bridge bond election go?" He was given the desired information and in response to inquiry spoke of the shooting which narrowly missed terminating his career. As the visitor left he said to tell the boys that he is all right and expects to eat Sunday dinner with his family. Bonds in the sum of $100,000 for bridges and $60,000 for county hospital and poor farm were carried by a very light vote on Saturday.

Former Tragedy Recalled By Shooting Another Marshal Fatally Shot Near Where Kellenberger Fell Cooccidence Dwelt Upon Old-Timers Who Visit Scene of Deed The following article was written by the late Henry Kuchel and appeared in the Gazette on July 18, 1912. It reproduced here in full because of its historical interest. Headlines are the same as a peaked on the original story. Editor's Note. The shooting of Marshal Kellenberger by a drunken cholo calls the fact that less than hundred feet from the spot when he fell, another city marshal Anaheim was shot and fattened in a gun fight between gamblers forty-one years (1871). The man assassinated was Charles Lehman and slayer was Dye Davis, who held the office of city marshal who had been defeated at the preceding election by Lehman. Dale is was placed under arrest, was acquitted at his trial. Lehman was carried across the street to a drug store at the corner Center and Lemon streets, where physicians attended him in injury. He was later taken to brick house on Chartres street midway between Los Angeles Bonds in the sum of $100,000 for bridges and $60,000 for county hospital and poor farm were carried by a very light vote on Saturday when probably not to exceed 20 per cent of the total vote of the county was polled. The vote on bridges was as follows: For, 1791; against 456. Hospital and poor farm, for, 1926; against 360. The formal announcement of the engagement of Angus McAulay and Miss Suzanne Beebe was made last evening at a dinner given by Mrs. S. L. Beebe at her home on East Center street.

Miss Beebe is one of the city's most gracious and charming young ladies and is admired by all who know her. The wedding will occur in October. William J. Hill, one of the pioneer farmers of Orange county is lying critically ill at his home southwest of this city. It is feared the end is near. Mr. Hill located in the West country in 1868 and has lived upon his large farm ever since. He is probably the oldest thresher in Southern California. He managed the first thresher imported to this county by John Hanna in 1871, and subsequently purchased an outfit of his own and for 35 years has been a familiar figure in the grain fields of the county. He also engaged in farming on an extensive scale and grew large tracts of grain on the west side and in La Habra valley. Mr. Hill was twice married and is the father of twelve children. Mike Lopez, Pete Wisser, Alfred Bittner and Clark Scott returned Thursday from a 10-days deer hunt in the Tehachapi mountains. They saw two deer, at a distance but were unable to get a shot at the animals, and were forced to return empty handed. Chilli Fischer and Bob Gardner were among the Anaheimers who motored to the beach Sunday. They made a record run to Long Beach—according to their own speedometer. District Deputy Grand Master J. S. Howard and thirty other Odd Fellows went to Huntington Beach in autos Tuesday evening to install newly elected officers and assist in initiation.

States Provide Funds for Fair Participation by states in the 1939 Golden Gate International exposition sped forward today with 23 states having taken legislative steps to be represented with exhibits on Treasure Island, San Francisco bay site, of the world's fair of the west. A preliminary roll call as of July, 1937, revealed that eight states had enacted legislation providing appropriations and administrative commissions have been appointed in 11 states; two have earmarked funds for exposition purposes, and two more are preparing to act on enabling legislation. States having made appropriations are: California, $5,000,000; Arizona, $15,000; Nevada, $25,000; Utah, $25,000; Oregon, $60,000; Illinois, $100,000; Missouri, $100,-000, and Wisconsin, $2,500. The following states have either appointed commissions or authorized other state agencies to function as such: Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Colorado, Michigan, Texas and Oklahoma. Funds for exposition purposes have been earmarked in Washington and Idaho, Ohio and Minnesota are preparing to act on enlistment at her home on West Broadway. He was given the desired information and in response spoke of the shooting which narrowly missed terminating his career. As the visitor left he said to tell the boys that he is all right and expects to eat Sunday dinner with his family. Davis was a well-known galerier and gun fighter of the early days. He was engaged in a game of poker in the rear room of Goldstein's saloon, which stood upon the site of the Yriarte building. Goldstein conducted a brewery and bar and the rear a number of private rooms for gambling. Davis played with a stranger and came embroiled with him in a pute. After a preliminary search each backed out of the rooftop Davis going forward and his stranger out a rear door. Each his revolver drawn, and he looked for a pot-shot at the door. The stranger had retreat well into the rear of the yard when Davis opened fire on him from the back door of the building. Davis stepped out of the building, firing at his adversary he proceeded. A number of shots were exchanged. Lehman was Center street near the scene of shooting when his attention was attracted by the fusilade. He between the combatants, co-manding them to keep the peace and received a mortal wound to the hands of the man whom he had a short time before defecated for the office which he occupied. A large crowd collected. Buelists were placed under arrest. The stranger was subsequent permitted to go, Davis admitted that the ball which fatally wounded Lehman was fired from his gun. The scene of the shooting is a few steps west of where Lehman fell, and the coincidence was dwelt upon by a number of residents who visited scene of Almendares' dastard attempt at murder. Davis was probably the hauntest man with a gun in South California in the early days. The intersection of Center Hermine streets he shot and killed a burly cholo, whom he tried arrest upon a felony charge. Mike Lopez, Pete Wisser, Alfred Bittner and Clark Scott returned Thursday from a 10-day deer hunt in the Tehachapi mountains. They saw two deer, at a distance but were unable to get a shot at the animals, and were forced to return empty handed. Mike and Pete are congratulating themselves upon a narrow escape from death. Mike had taken a drink from a small water-hole and Pete was in the act of drinking when he saw the small beady eyes of a rattler in the grass not six inches from his face. He jumped away from the reptile and the two men killed it. The snake was five feet long and of the red diamond variety. It had twelve rattles which were brought home as a trophy. Louis Paul Hart, editor of the Huntington Beach News, candidate for the Democratic nomination for state senator, has appointed L. M. Hopper of Santa Ana and C. G. Peters and D. G.

The scene of the shooting is a few steps west of where Klenberger fell, and the coincidence was dwelt upon by a number of old residents who visited the scene of Almendares' dastard attempt at murder. Davis was probably the hardest man with a gun in South California in the early days. The intersection of Center Hermine streets he shot and killed a burly cholo, whom he tried arrest upon a felony charge, who made an attempt to draw revolver. No man ever got drop on Davis, and when cholo sought to do it, he was dead one before he knew it. Davis headed a posse who went after a Mexican bandit ricaded in Soquel canyon. Man was brought back. Throw a large leather belt which he wore about the body, there were three teen Winchester bullet holes. At another time Davis heard a posse which went in search of a Mexican horse thief in Santichanyon. The man was placed under arrest, and brought back far as the river this side of Olive Grove. Prison Uses Electric Eye Farmer Tragedy Recalled By Shooting Marshal Fatally Shot Where Kellenberger Fell Velence Dwelt Upon by Dead-Timers Who Visit Scene of Deed Following article was seen by the late Henry Mel and appeared in the date on July 18, 1912. It is introduced here in full because of historical interest. The lines are the same as appended on the original story.

Unemployed Persons Swarm Into State, Official Reports Reveal A total of 42,771 persons "in need of manual employment" crossed state borders into California during the period January 1 to June 15, 1937, according to a report from the Resettlement administration. The total exceeds by approximately 30 per cent the comparable figure for 1936, when 31,143 such persons were counted by inspectors of the bureau of plant quarantine, California department of agriculture, according to Edward J. Rowell, chief of the Resettlement administration labor relations division, who compiled the report. Both totals include returning Californians who form a California due to the migration is a matter for conjecture, the report said. It is estimated, however, that the 1936 influx of 84,823 persons, exclusive of returning Californians, will be topped in 1937 and may reach 100,000. Drought states continued to supply a large majority of the migrants, with Oklahoma continuing to lead all other states by a wide margin. Beginning with 6000 in January the influx rose to more than 9000 in May, and totaled more than 5000 during the first two weeks of June. It was estimated more than 10,000 will cross the flood damage All Properly Serious financial losses flood damage would mean strike-actual owners of damaged, but pocketbook taxpayers of the county will hit. This point is covered in official report of Flood Commissioner M. N. Thompson forms the basis for the water election called for July 27. In addition to voting control, voters also will have the important problem of conservation. Besides givingplete flood protection, the program will conserve andof about 41,000 acre feetable water annually. Concerning flood control reports shows that in the development, the change the Santa Ana river and local streams have been croscoped upon. "The present safe capacity of the Santa Ana channel above Santiago approximately 6000 secondthe engineer's report." When this capacity is cut to the flood flows that he curred, amounting to at 000 second feet, it is evidentthe existing danger from cannot be ignored. Others are in a similar condition encroached upon and have very limited carrying capacity. It is pointed out that population are developed areas of the greatest flood Attention is called to the during the January 1912 four lives were lost and led damage to agriculture alone exceeded $1,800,000. "Financial losses," they says, "that would result in present conditions, from similar to that of 1916, w only cause hardship to and residents of the lands."

It was probably the handiman with a gun in Southern Nevada in the early days. At intersection of Center and one streets he shot and killed y cholo, whom he tried to unown a felony charge and report from the Resettlement administration. The total exceeds by approximately 30 per cent the comparable figure for 1936, when 31,143 such persons were counted by inspectors of the bureau of plant quarantine, California department of agriculture, according to Edward J. Rowell, chief of the Resettlement administration labor relations division, who compiled the report. Both totals include returning Californians who form a small percentage of the whole. Rowell pointed out that the ap-parent heavy increase of migrants during the first half of 1937 over the same period of 1936 may not be actual, because the Los Angeles police border patrol tempo-rally stemmed the tide in February, 1936. During this month only 3800 crossed the border, whereas the total for February, 1937, was 6260. That the migrant influx not only resumed but greatly increased is shown, he said, by the October, 1936, total of 12,549. Present indications are for a considerable increase this year over 1936, although there is no way of knowing how many of the migrants returned to their home states at the close of the agricultural season and are now returning for the 1937 peak season. Because of this constant coming and going of out-of-state families as well as of California families, the actual population increase in Move to Advance Independence of Filipinos Fought Eyes of the entire Pacific coast are on San Farnisco this week where a federal commission is hearing protests of chambers of commerce and other trade bodies against the proposal of Manuel Quezon, Filipino president, to advance the date of Philippine independence and economic auto-nomy from 1946, as provided in the Tydings-McDuffie law, to 1938-39. Dr. Hilario Camino Moneado, founder-president of the Filipino Federation of America, and one of the framers of the Philippine constitution, flew to California from Manila to fight the plan, as he supports the belief of trade groups of the Pacific prosperity, and mean the end of profitable markets from American products in Disney Tournament will Start Monday Poloists from Taft, Long Beach and San Francisco are gathering for the Walt Disney tournament which starts at Riviera club Sunday afternoon. Among the home teams riding in this fracas will be the noted Mickey Mouse squad, headed by Walt Disney.

WATER DISTRICT DIRECTORS ENDORSE FLOOD CONTROL BONDS We, the undersigned Board of Directors of the Orange County Water District, who have been given the duty by their constituents of protecting their present water rights and endeavoring to secure badly needed additional water for the district, believe the water supply combined with adequate flood control works will determine the extent of the future growth and prosperity of Orange County. WE BELIEVE, The present Flood Control plan amply provides for major flood protection. WE BELIEVE, The future water supply of the county will be augmented by this development. WE BELIEVE, That the benefits are of exceedingly great value to Orange County and are being obtained at bargain prices. WE BELIEVE, in the project and urge all the citizens of Orange county to vote YES on July 27th. William C. Mauerhan Willis H. Warner C. A. Palmer C. Roy Browning William T. Wallop Frank Champion William Schumacher (This Ad paid for by the above as individuals.) Flood Damage Losses Shared by All Property Owners of County Serious financial losses from flood damage would not only strike actual owners of property damaged, but pocketbooks of all taxpayers of the county would be it. This point is covered in the official report of Flood Control Engineer M. N. Thompson, which forms the basis for the water bond election called for July 27. In addition to voting for flood control, voters also will help solve one important problem of water conservation. Besides giving complete flood protection, the water program will conserve an average of about 41,000 acre feet of valuable water annually. Concerning flood control, the report shows that in the process of development, the channels of the Santa Ana river and other local streams have been enroached upon. "The present safe carrying capacity of the Santa Ana river channel above Santiago creek is approximately 6000 second feet," the engineer's report states. When this capacity is compared to the flood flows that have occurred, amounting to at least 45,-000 second feet, it is evident that the existing danger from floods cannot be ignored. Other streams are in a similar condition, being microached upon and having a very limited carrying capacity." It is pointed out that centers of population are developing on areas of the greatest flood hazard. Attention is called to the fact that during the January 1916 flood, our lives were lost and estimated damage to agricultural land alone exceeded $1,800,000. "Financial losses," the report says, "that would result under present conditions, from a flood similar to that of 1916, would not only cause hardship to owners and residents of the lands directly committee, headed by A. J. McFadden, is urging voters in the strongest manner possible to sure to support the $2,500,000 water bond election July 27. It is important that a big majority favor the bonds, so federal government officials will know that Orange county wants that $12,748,-000 the government has offered to invest for this county in construction of eight big, safe reservoirs, McFadden declares. Scholarships Given to Youthful Pupils Don Fabun of San Bernardino and Marjorie Mason of Riverside have been awarded scholarships to the University of California from District 7-B of the state wide organization for the distribution of California Alumni association scholarships. The district comprises Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Simple rule for popularity: Let the other fellow describe his pain and don't dim his glory by describing yours. L. W.

Science has discovered that potatoes provide extra Vitamin C, readily available calcium and phosphorous, and a high content of iron and Vitamin B—all important elements to good health. Interesting information, but not nearly so impressive as a great, big baked patato—nice and mealy—its russet jacket bursting—steaming hot—with a couple of pats of fresh butter, some salt and pepper . . . that's really something to eat. Yet, this is only one of a hundred ways of preparing and serving this marvelous food. Nowhere are such excellent potatoes grown as in the higher altitudes, the mountain valleys, the great plains of the West, and the Pacific Coast slopes. All of these regions are served by the Union Pacific Railroad. Efficient, rapid railroad service—specialized cars for safe shipment—brings potatoes to your table from this area every month of the year. Among the nation's railroads, Union Pacific is in the front rank as a transporter of potatoes.
