50 Years Ago Jan. 5. 1888 New Year's eve is the most opportune time of year to give a ball and as evidence of this the merry crowd witnessed at Kroeger’s hall last Monday night will amply prove. Dancing commenced at the hall about 9 and to the excellent music furnished by the Anaheim orchestra — composed of Prof. James, Mrs. Schubert, and Messrs. E. A. Pullen and N. A. Bittner—under whose management the ball was given, the devotees of terpsichore tripped the light fantastic until the small hours of the morning. Among those present were Miss Clara Mossmann, Miss Hary Horstmann, Miss Melsheimer, Miss Everhardy, Miss Hannah Smith, Miss Frances Schmidt, Miss E. Boege, Miss Maud Northam, Miss Jennie Gardiner, Miss Fannie Higgins, Miss Maggie Higgins, Miss Dora Zeyn, Miss Minnie Zeyn, Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Bittler, Mrs. Northam, Mrs. Cahen, Mrs. Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. A.

The project is receiving warm support, and the enterprise will be consummated within sixty days. A party of painters under H. Boege’s supervision have commenced painting Mr. Theo. Rimpau’s new residence. The floor in the postoffice block is being relaid under the supervision of Alex Henry. Plez James, president of the Bank of Anaheim, is the donor of a unique present possessed by many citizens in town. It is a very capacious purse—evidently indicative of the large amount of money in circulation here. The rainfall for the season up to date, as recorded by A. Langenberger’s raingauge, is 6.46 inches. Mr. Dickel informs us that the intervals of sunshine between the showers could not have been more perfect had they been ordered, rendering the condition of affairs excellent for vegetation. Mr. John P. Zeyn has built a very neat and durable fence around his palatial residence on Los Angeles street. There has been a good deal of this kind of improvement in vogue here later and it is the means of giving for season 7.44. 1904-1905 to date 2.77 in for season 15.93. 1905-1906 to date 5.55 in for season 18.13 inches. 1906-1907 to date 6.72 in for season 19.00 inches. 1907-1908 to date 4.72 in for season 10.79. 1908-1909 to date 4.29 in for season 18.75. 1909-1910 to date 7.18 in for season 11.80. 1910-1911 to date 1.01 in for season 13.07. 1911-1912 to date 1.95 in for season 9.79. 1912-1913, to date 1.14 inc.

Pellegrin and C. E. Randall. Our people were astir last Saturday by the fact of having 40 grading teams of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe line in town. The teams were on their way to the termination of their labors in the neighborhood of Kenyon Cox's ranch about five miles from Anaheim to proceed with the grading of the line of the railroad from Los Angeles to San Diego. The Hotel del Campo is looming up in grand style, Albrecht Bros., the contractors, pushing work with all possible speed. The beautiful gardens that surround the hotel are a very unique feature. It is the intention of the projectors of the building to lay convenient walks throughout the place, which will afford great pleasure to guests, as they will be enabled to walk in the garden and inhale the fragrance of the various kinds of flowers that abound—there. This acquisition will be a decided improvement over the accommodations of the 25 Years Ago Jan. 2, 1913. While the amount of rainfall to date this winter is small, yet twice during the past ten years has precipitation been lighter; but the season's rain in those years was sufficient to insure good crops. Rain is needed, but the optimistic have not yet given up hope that it will come in abundance. Orange county in common with other sections of California is passing through a season of protracted drought. During five months-of last winter no rain fell up to the first of March, when the weather clerk resumed his job and gave farmers a downpour sufficient to produce excellent crops. The period was the most long continued season of drouth ever experienced in the state since records of rainfall have been kept. The present winter seems much the same, for excepting light showers, little rain to speak of has fallen. While rain is predicted for the near future and, if it arrives in abundance, acreage planted to crops will be large, yet there is time enough, old inhabitants say, for a flood. In past seasons little rain has fallen until February or March, and then the weather clerk resumed operations and plentiful precipitation followed. Rain to date this winter amounts to 1.14 inches. Twice during the past decade has precipitation been less. In the winter of 1903-1904 only .39 of an inch fell to date (Jan. 2) which marked the minimum rainfall for a score of years for more. Total rainfall for that season amounted to 7.44. In the season of 1910-1911 precipitation aggregated 1.01 to date and the total precipitation for the season was 13.07. While rain is needed, yet these are probably no records in the state which Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yungle entertained members of the Four" club at their East Bay way residence on Tuesday morning. The gentleman's prize handsome pocket knife, was tured by F. A. Yungbluth, wi the lady's prize, a beautiful bag, fell to the lot of Mrs. A. Lewis. Dainty refreshments served just before the hour and the end of the old year, the beginning of the new spent in feasting and merry. All present had an enjoyable time and look forward to many happy meetings on club during the new year. Mrs. C. H.

While rain is needed, yet these is probably no county in the state which can come through a dry year better than Orange County. Its splendid irrigating facilities and upward of a million dollars invested in pumping plants give the valley adequate water supply. Water has been running in ditches for many weeks past and pumping plants are in operation day and night.

Justice Marks Interprets Vehicle Law in Recent Suit for Damages Snow Areas Are More Accessible Snow areas this season are more accessible than ever by train, bus and private bile, according to the wired committee of the California Chamber of Commerce. The handling of winter traffic by rail or highway is a number of operations of which the general public little or no conception, tax, at times, the ingress transportation companies, the state highway department. This is especially true ends, when all facilities crowded to the utmost. All transportation lines state highway departments tiepating greatly increase to the snow areas, and paring accordingly. During the coming Southern Pacific will allow weekend roundtrips to the general public, and the "snow parties" from various organizations and commercial and industrial will be run to the O Springs-Truckee-Tahoe priced but substantial may be available in dining lunch cars. Yosemite National Park, quoia National Park, and Shasta region will also offer special benefits with regular services mentored to handle additional traffic over weekends. They handle special parties on a tier basis during the season. For those traveling by automobile, the state high school has added ninety-tary snow ploughs, making it of 26, and have reguled Justice Marks Interprets Vehicle Law in Recent Suit for Damages (The Gazette today presents an instructive article based on recent court decision concerning motor vehicle operation in California, as prepared by Ivan Kelso, Automobile Club of Southern California general counsel.) While driving back from a business trip along the Colorado river aqueduct road, the defendant's car went off the pavement into the soft sand and overturned, seriously injuring the defendant and his two guests, who were plaintiffs in the recent court action. The accident happened at about midnight. The road was a hard, oiled surface, but the sand shoulders wore soft. There were many curves, both vertical and horizontal, that is, off to the right and left as well as up and down. It is alleged the defendant drove as fast as eighty or eighty-five miles per hour over this road. Seeing a car approaching some distance away, he attempted to slow down but got off into the sand and then overturned. The question was whether the defendant was guilty of wilful misconduct. If his offense were ordinary negligence, the plaintiffs, as guests, might not recover. Justice E. J. Marks, speaking for the appellate court of the fourth appellate district, said: "It is generally held that mere speed, of itself does not constitute wilful misconduct. This may not always be true. There may be a point at which the speed becomes so excessive, the danger of wholesale and retail. Will give estimates on lumber and other building materials." L. B. Weber and Albert Brunworth went to Los Angeles Tuesday to celebrate the closing of the old year and beginning of the new. Injury to the passenger so probable, that such extreme speed alone might be held to be wilful misconduct. The conditions of the oiled road with its dips and sift shoulders, coupled with the excessive speed at which defendant drove his automobile in the face of an approaching car, are circumstances which make injury to the passengers not an improbable result." Junior Farmers Show Big Profit A summary of the value of products produced by Orange county 4-H club members in 1937 has shown these products to be valued at $10,570, according to Ross E. Crane of the farm advisor's office. The total amount of money invested in producing these products, plus a charge of ten cents per hour for the member's labor, amounted to $5,522. This left a net profit to the 204 boys and girls who completed their projects of $5,048. Not included in the above figures are the cash awards received by members at three major fairs held during the year. These were the San Diego county fair, the Los Angeles county fair, and the Great Western Livestock show. Cash awards received at these exhibitions were $150, $260 and $110, respectively. The large number of awards received indicate the excellent quality of the work done by these boys and girls. The value of all agricultural products produced by 4-H club members in California during 1937 exceeded one-third of a million dollars, according to figures just released from the agricultural extension service of the University of California.

Snow Areas Are More Accessible Snow areas this season will be more accessible than ever before by train, bus and private automobile, according to the winter sports committee of the California State Chamber of Commerce. The handling of winter sports traffic by rail or highway involves a number of operating factors of which the general public has little or no conception, and which tax, at times, the ingenuity of transportation companies and of the state highway department. This is especially true on weekends, when all facilities are crowded to the utmost. All transportation lines and the state highway department are anticipating greatly increased travel to the snow areas, and are preparing accordingly. During the coming winter Southern Pacific will again offer low weekend roundtrip fares for the general public, and for special "snow parties" from various fraternal organizations and large commercial and industrial groups will be run to the Cisco-Soda Springs-Truckee-Tahoe area. Low priced but substantial meals will be available in dining cars and lunch cars. Yosemite National Park, Sequoia National Park, and the Mt. Shasta region will also be served. The Pacific Greyhound Lines will operate special buses when needed, with regular service augmented to handle additional traffic over weekends. They will also handle special parties on a charter basis during the season. For those traveling by private automobile, the state highway department has added nine new rotary snow ploughs, making a total of 26 and have replaced many Club Seeks Uniform White Highway Lines Uniform action by city, county and state highway authorities in painting and maintaining white center line stripes in advance of the rain and fog season was urged in communications mailed yesterday by the engineering department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. "Every year, at this season, we receive a flood of requests from motorists for help in having the white center or lane lines on our streets and highways restored," the bureau stated. "In Los Angeles county alone, there are 43 unincorporated cities, together with the county and state highway departments, responsible for the painting and repainting of guide lines, so it is little wonder that there is no uniformity in the markings." A new tire designed especially for heavily loaded trucks and buses operating at sustained high speeds over long distances have been increasing mileage. Deer Bag for Year Makes New Record An indication that the west is still a little wild is found in the final state tabulation of the 1937 deer kill which revealed that 3149 deer were taken within 50 miles of the centers of Los Angeles and San Francisco, according to the outing bureau of the Automobile Club of Southern California. California hunters bagged 32,211 deer, setting an all-time record high during the past year. This exceeds by 10,647 the average deer kill of 21,564 for the period between 1927 and 1936. A new tire designed especially for heavily loaded trucks and buses operating at sustained high speeds over long distances have been increasing mileage.
