50 Years Ago Feb. 2, 1888 Great praise is due to the untiming exertions of some of our citizens for the creditable collection of products which will be sent to the Southern California fair to be held in Riverside shortly. This is a fact to be appreciated as we know the exhibit from here will be unsurpassable. F. U. Schaumberger will represent Anaheim there in person, and we may therefore rest assured that justice will be done to our prosperous section. Anaheim exhibitors will be Louis Schorn, F. H. Keith, S. Littlefield, M. Haight, Silas Holman, A. Rimpau, E. Browning, L. Parker, S. Tucker, J. B. Stone, A. Langenberger, Semi-Tropical Fruit company, L. Browning, W. M. McFadden, Theo. Staley, J. Haddox, J. B. McCullough and J. B. Tombes. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Union Water company convened in Kroeger's hall on Saturday last. President Wm. McFadden occupied the chair. The auditing committee, composed of M. Nebelung, Alex Wright, and J. Pfeuinger, made their report for the year ending December 31, 1887, which was satisfactorily received by the majority of the stockholders present. Elected as directors were S. Littlefield, Lionel Browning, T. K. McDowell, L. Schorn, J. S. Gardiner, and John Hunter. A large advertisement is carried in this issue calling attention to the auction sale of the Summerfield and Zeyn tract to be held in "reciprocity day" the various clubs of Orange county will send representatives who will give responses for their respective organizations. The delegates to the Southern California convention of women's clubs held at Corona, Mrs. Geo. Terry, Mrs. C. F. Grim, Mrs. Frank Morris, will report on the convention in general, "Household Economics" and "Social Hygiene," the two latter subjects having been so ably elucidated at the Corona assemblage. Among the special features of the meeting will be a paper, "Great Men Born in February," by Mrs. J. E. Porter of Newport Beach; also a violin selection of his own composition by Paul Comstock of Anaheim. The members of the dramatic section will serve refreshments and act as hostesses at this long anticipated meeting. H. E. Carner was in town on Tuesday from his ranch at Garden Grove. Mr. Carner finds the Gazette a very valuable advertising medium. He recently placed several advertisements in the classified columns and received many answers. Articles advertised by him were speedily purchased by readers of the classified columns. Billy Wallop continues to wear a broadening smile in consequence of unanimous approval given by stockholders at the annual water meeting on Saturday of the Board of Audits recommendation that his salary be increased $100 per annum. He received the high compliment of being the best secretary ever in the company's employ. Time for those cigars Billy. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Holcomb have sold their residence and two lots of the company's employ. les were married in that city several days ago. The happy couple will make their home in San Ta Maria where the groom has engaged in business. Miss Clara Truxaw and Miss Louise Wallberg of Los Angeles were in the city the latter part of the week, guests of the former brother, Dr. J. W. Truxaw, who has recently come here to reside. William Bielefeldt was in town from his Placentia orchard on Saturday. He reports his orange trees came through unharmed from the recent cold snap. Misses Nellie and Callie Sparke were in San Bernardino last week in attendance upon the wedding of their cousin, Miss Mary Style Miss Nellie Sparkes was bride maid at the wedding. She remained in San Bernardino for few weeks' visit, and her sister returned to take up her studies at the high school. Walter S. Halliwell was town Tuesday, bringing the cheering information that his fine range grove east of town can through the cold spell without harm. Cashier McCord and Assista Cashier Smith, of the Germ American Bank and E. S. Gold of the Anaheim National, went Orange Tuesday to attend regular meeting of the Oran County Bankers' association. Albert Brunworth worked postoffice the past week, taking the place of E. R. Deering, who was indisposed for several days A large advertisement is carried in this issue calling attention to the auction sale of the Summerfield and Zeyn tract to be held Saturday, February 4. Staunton and Matthews of Los Angeles are to be auctioneers. Music is to be furnished by the First Infantry band, a free lunch is to be served and residents of Anaheim are assured a good time. We hear it said that the parties who are buying the orange crop of Anaheim are packing the fruit here and shipping it to market under the label of "Riverside." This is underhand work, against which we rise to protest. The oranges of Anaheim are superior to products of many other localities and we want them recognized as such. Otto des Granges was in town a few days ago, nursing a slight contusion of the hand. J. S. Weber has secured the contract for the plumbing work on Reiser's operahouse. Graders of the Anaheim, Olinda and Pomona railroad are busily engaged in grading the roadbed. John P. Zeyn entertained some of his old-time friends at his residence last Wednesday evening. The event was the 59th anniversary of his birthday. Asphaltum pipes have been substituted for several wooden bridges in the town limits. They are a decided improvement over the wooden contrivance, and should be in universal use. It would be well for our people to turn their attention to the establishment of a cannery here. An enterprise of this kind would be of untold value to fruit growers who at present suffer great loss by the fact of having no way of disposing of some portions of the fruit crop raised in this locality. A cannery here would prove remunerative to any man's pocket who would give this branch of a broadening smile in consequence of unanimous approval given by stockholders at the annual water meeting on Saturday of the Board of Audits recommendation that his salary be increased $100 per annum. He received the high compliment of being the best secretary ever in the company's employ. Time for those cigars Billy. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Holcomb have sold their residence and two lots at the corner of Lemon and Wilhelmina streets to Mr. and Mrs. Bird V. Beebe and Earl Crist for $2500. They will remove to their 40-acre ranch at Fullerton, where they will take up their residence. Miss Dora Zeyn and Francis and Jimmy will remain until close of the present school term, when they will join Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb at the Fullerton ranch. W. A. Franz has two Toggenburg Swiss goats, each with a kid, which he purchased in Los Angeles and had brought down last week by auto truck. The goats are famous for their milk giving and one is said to give a gallon and a half at a milking. A number of friends of James Trapp tendered him a surprise party at his home two miles west of town on Saturday evening in honor of his 25th birthday. Those present were Messrs. T. J. Dale, Guy Carlston, John Sullivan, G. L. Raines, James Cameron, L. C. Dale, Smith Garner, Wm. G. Gleason, J. B. Trapp, Robert Sullivan, De Los Cole and the Misses Vera Cole, Viola Sullivan, Marjorie Raines, Lyla Reed, Vera Reed, Artie Garner, Esther Garner, Ruth Winters, Iilo Winters, Myrtle Winters, Genevieve Gleason, Minnie Kelly, Lovene Leveau and the "old folks," Mr. and Mrs. L.

Miss Maybelle Bush of this city Cashier McCord and Assistant Cashier Smith, of the German American Bank and E. S. Gold of the Anaheim National, went Orange Tuesday to attend the regular meeting of the Oran County Bankers' association. Albert Brunworth worked in postoffice the past week, taking the place of E. R. Deering, who was indisposed for several days. C. G. Billings informs us that the Diamond Valley Oil company operating at Piru in the Ventura oil field struck oil this week at depth of 1300 feet. The bulk of the company's stock is held in Anaheim and stockholders are jubilant over the find. Beer Sales in 1937 Set Yearly Record California consumed more beer during 1937 than in any year since repeal of the eighteenth amendment. Acme Breweries led beer sales for the fourth consecutive year with a total of 11,973,368 gallons, an increase of 889,048 gallons over 1936 sales. Home consumption of beer shows a marked increase over previous years, declares J. Floto; vice president of Los Angeles Acme Brewery and president of the Bohemian Distributor company. The latter company distributes Acme beer in southern California, southern Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. "With payrolls to workers in nation's brewing industry exceeding $80,000,000 for 1937, and that does not include an addition $25,000,000 for salaried employees or federal and state taxes, the dustry is contributing its share toward the country's progress and welfare," said Floto. L. W. BLODGET and Attorneys 410-11 Bank of A Pri It would be well for our people to turn their attention to the establishment of a cannery here. An enterprise of this kind would be of untold value to fruit growers who at present suffer great loss by the fact of having no way of disposing of some portions of the fruit crop raised in this locality. A cannery here would prove remunerative to any man's pocket who would give this branch of business proper attention. The necessary outlay for the equipment sufficiently large to can the fruits of this section is comparatively small. Time is at hand when some action is necessary to care for the large fruit interests of this valley. 25 Years Ago Jan. 30, 1913 The Board of Trade at Monday evening's session endorsed the proposition to form a river protection district to raise funds for the control of the Santa Ana river in the neighborhood of Olive and appointed a committee consisting of V. U. Simpson, H. G. Ames, G. L. Deitrich, A. A. Mills and E. L.

Deering, who disposed for several days. California Tax Reforms Asked Seeking "tax reduction, tax equalization, and economy in government, in order to encourage and protect home and form ownership and to maintain real property as the soundest form of investment for savings," the California Real Estate association has outlined the following objectives for 1938: That the state, from its general fund, assume a larger share of the cost of government now borne by the counties and paid for by a tax on common property, and that this be accomplished by transferring to the state the county's present share of the welfare service in the items—aid to the aged, aid to the orphans, aid to the blind, and indigent relief; also that preferably the administration as well as the cost be assumed by the state. That a 2.5 per cent expenditure limitation be enacted for control of local budgets to parallel the present 2.5 per cent limitation on increasing the state budget. That any further tax exemptions be opposed. That all initiative measures intended to amend or repeal any part of the existing revenue system of the state be defeated. That the proposed single tax on land be actively resisted as a threat "to destroy private ownership of real property." That the sales tax be retained in its present form, because it was primarily enacted to provide the state's revenue system with sufficient funds to meet the State's share of public schools costs. That relief be sought for special assessment districts, paving the way for their liquidation. That the debt limitation on special assessment districts be re-retained. That the present two-thirds rule in voting for the creation of public debt by bond issues be re-retained. Loyalty Fund Drive Directed by Kuchel Prominent residents of Anaheim as alumni of the University of Southern California have been appointed to assist in directing a loyalty fund drive, now being conducted by the Trojan institution. From Ezra N. Currier, '85, oldest living alumnus, to graduates of last year, the drive will contact Trojan supporters in nearly every nation of the glove, according to Harry Silke, fund director at U. S. C. Among the district chairmen of this community taking part as leaders in the drive is Thomas H. Kuchel. Women may be divided into two classes, those who close their eyes when you kiss them, and those who keep them open to see if you do. Prices of Farm Last Month For the first time in months December farm price California, as indicated quotations on 24 leading failed to reach the figures a for the same month in called "normal period." 1915.

As against an index of 100 for the normal period, last month showed 99. According to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg, noting data from the division of agricultural economics, University of California, likewise the December 1937 prices in this combination were but 65 percent of the December prices in the years 1924 to 1929, the so-called boom" years. Twelve of the items, however, beef cattle, veal calves, sheep, lambs, milk, milk fat, butter; chickens, horses, oats, hay (other than alfalfa), and lemons scored an increase over December of 1936. However, 14 of the items, beef cattle, hogs, butter, eggs, chickens, horses, wheat, corn, alfalfa, other hay, cotton, oranges, lemons and apples sold higher in November 1937 than they did last month, and a substantial number of items in November showed a decline from the month before. Economic analysts may lay some of the declines to seasonal slump and the normal contraction of farm income in the late winter months, while still others may relate it to the so-called business "recession." It is significant, however, that figures of January 1937 were 123 percent of the 1910 to 1915 index, while at the last check they were 99 per cent. Wahlberg said. Two Braille Groups to Combine Forces Pioneer and leader in distributing bibles in raised type for the blind, the Braille Bible Society, Inc., a California corporation, has merged with the Braille Institute of America, Inc., another California corporation, after joint action by members to consolidate under the latter name. The merger is in accord with opinion expressed by leaders of the American Associations of Workers for the Blind who, in their seventeenth biennial convention last June, stressed the desire to have fewer rather than more national organizations in order to increase economy in the service. Were 123 percent of the 1910 to 1915 index, while at the last check they were 99 per cent. Wahlberg said.
