50 Years Ago April 19, 1888 At the town caucus on Saturday evening at Kroeger's hall some 30 citizens nominated a ticket for town officers to be voted for on next Monday. N. H. Mitchell was called to the chair, and G. D. Field acted as secretary. For town trustees Messrs. Littlefield, Kroeger, Zeyn, T. J. F. Boege, Korn, Goldthwaite, Bittner, Harker, Mitchell and Field were placed in nomination. The first five gentlemen having received the highest number of votes were declared the nominees of the caucus. For town clerk Max N. Lung and G. D. Field were placed in nomination. The vote resulted: Nebelung 17, Field 12, and Mr. Nebelung was declared the nominee. For assessor John Landell, E. J. Pellegrin and G. D. Field were named. Landell received 13 votes, Pellegrin 5 and Field 2. Mr. Landell was declared to be the choice of the caucus. For marshall Fred C. Smythe was unanimously nominated as were J. B. Pierce and A. V. Fox for justices of the peace. The caucus adjourned without nominating a candidate for treasurer. There will be a baseball game at the Landing next Sunday afternoon between nines from Artesia and Westminster. Several other attractions are on the bills, which will cause a large crowd to visit the seashore. Pigott's bus Dr. Gardiner, P. Moore and T. A. Darling were appointed to present the subject to the Board of Supervisors. Chas. E. Randall of the Planfers was in Pasadena yesterday on business. John Vinson left on Saturday for a visit to Alabama. Drew Vinson has accepted a position at the Planters hotel. Fred Hartung and wife left on Monday for a visit to Germany. Mr. Hartung takes with him some ten-year-old Anaheim wine with which to regale his relatives and friends in the Fatherland. 25 Years Ago April 17, 1913 After a continuous service of 45 years the eastside ditch which brought the first water from the river to Anaheim in 1859, has been replaced for a distance of two miles by a 36 inch cement pipe. Superintendent Arthur Porter has had a force of 125 men and 25 teams on the job for 16 days, and last week discontinued operations in order to permit water to be served irrigators in this section. Water was turned into the canal on Monday and will probably be continued for 10 days or two weeks. At the end of this time it is proposed to continue work upon the pipe line which will be constructed to a conjunction of a distributing it into laterals during the daytime. The Yorba rervoir covers an area of 50 acres and now contains water to depth of 40 feet. It is one of largest reservoirs in Southern California. While the old earthern dirt now passing into history day back to more than half a century and brought the first water to colony, it was not the first gating canal to be built in Orange county. More than a hundred years before this time, the miss Fathers at San Juan had bidden ditches for the distribution of water. These early canals afterwards passed into disuse but many years past have brought water to the fertile fields about the old Mission town. It is the fore not too much to say that eastside ditch is the oldest irrigation canal in continuous service Southern California. Showers on Monday morning amounted to .04 of an inch. Mature is badly needed for all growing crops, no rain having fall for several weeks. Beets continue to show up well, and if rain falls in the near future a bumper harvest is looked for. George Sloop holds the record as champion mouse-catcher, ticing one ambling about in show window in a down-town establishment on Saturday even he set a trap for it, and had a mouse inside of one minute. There will be a baseball game at the Landing next Sunday afternoon between nines from Artesia and Westminster. Several other attractions are on the bills, which will cause a large crowd to visit the seashore. Pigott's bus will make the round trip, leaving at 9 a.m. and returning will leave the Landing at 4 p.m. On last Saturday evening a party co-posed of Miss Emma Schneider, Miss Maud Northam, Miss Jessie Witte, Miss Margaret Higgins, Miss Dora Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, and Messrs. Gilroy, Browning, Pigott, Maddin, Landell and others went to Santa Ana to see the Wilber comedy company. Max Nebelung has received from Germany a sample of German sugar beet seed which he has given to Theo. Staley, who will ascertain the adaptability of our soil to the same. It is thought that the German sugar beet will do well here. In that event a convenient market will be found at Speckles' refineries at San Francisco. Mr. Nebelung will give all information as to the culture of the plant. Next Sunday evening will be the last engagement here of Rev. H. S. Jeffreys. It is probable that the Episcopal church will have a resident clergyman soon. The Democratic primary election has been set for the 28th inst. The county convention will be held May 5. Anaheim is entitled to eight delegates. A meeting of citizens of Anaheim and Fairview school districts was called at the Southern Pecific depot at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Dr. Gardiner was chosen chairman and Frank Moore secretary. The object of the meeting was stated to be the annexation of Fairview district to Anaheim district. Dr. Gardiner advocated the need of additional school facilities. Mr. Paty spoke in favor of annexation. Mr. Darling also favored the plan. Mr. Carroll promised trees to ornament the grounds provided the school were established. Messrs. A. Henry, Mo., and others were also in favor of the union. Superintendent Arthur Porter has had a force of 125 men and 25 teams on the job for 16 days, and last week discontinued operations in order to permit water to be served irrigators in this section. Water was turned into the canal on Monday and will probably be continued for 10 days or two weeks. At the end of this time it is proposed to continue work upon the pipe line which will be constructed to a conjunction of a pipe line of similar dimensions now running two miles hitherward from the Yorba reservoir. When the pipe line is completed, the distance covered from the reservoir will be five and a quarter miles. At present one and a quarter miles of pipe line remains to be laid. The cost of the entire pipe line will be about $25,000. It will carry a volume of 1800 inches which increases the capacity of the old earthern ditch 1100 inches. Construction of the old earthern ditch was begun in 1859, a year following the organization of the colony enterprise in San Francisco, and was completed for the irrigation system of 1859. Its capacity was 700 inches. It was fringed by a willow hedge, and at the four principal roads leading into town a large swinging gate was erected which was closed at night in order to keep from the settlement stock which ranged the valley by thousands. The main canal continued in its present location to the present time, and one of the distributing ditches crossed Center street diagonally from a point where Kistler's bakery now stands, and crossing the street where Beebe's garage is now. The pipe line will bring water from the Yorba reservoir, built in 1898. The reservoir did away with night irrigation in this section, and is one of the contributing causes to the era of great progress and development which has characterized this locality for ten years past. Previous to building the reservoir, the earthern ditch continued from that point five miles up the river. In those days, day and night irrigation was necessary, but following construction of the reservoir, night irrigation was cut out. Night irrigation was turned into the reservoir and was taken out in distributing ditches at dawn the following day. For many years previously night irrigation had not been practiced on the north side of the district, the Tuffree reservoir caring for night water, and Gardiner was chosen chairman and Frank Moore secretary. The object of the meeting was stated to be the annexation of Fairview district to Anaheim district. Dr. Gardiner advocated the need of additional school facilities. Mr. Paty spoke in favor of annexation. Mr. Darling also favored the plan. Mr. Carroll promised trees to ornament the grounds provided the school were established. Messrs. A. Henry, Mo and others were also in favor of the union.

Farley has suggested to all post offices of the first-class that an effort be made at this time to publicize all the services available to the public by the post offices; also, that suggestions be made that will be helpful to the public for its use of postal facilities to best advantage, according to L. H. Hoskins, postmaster, who prepared the following statement: "The two purposes will be combined under various headings: 1. Quite a few people make inquiries which show that they do not know that when 6c an ounce, or fraction thereof, is paid for air mail it covers the entire fee for postage and that it will carry anywhere within the confines of continental U.S. and in Canada where established air lines will expedite delivery. 2. All mail may be sent air mail, including registered, insured and C.O.D. matter. 3. Air mail special delivery stamps of special design are available which will procure delivery of air mail arriving at destination over week-end when carrier deliveries are not made. 4. Ordinary stamps in proper denominations and ordinary envelopes are permissible for use for air mail, but not recommended. The notation "AIR MAIL" should always be placed above the address on the ordinary envelope since that is where all postal clerks are accustomed to look for it. 6. Very substantial reductions have recently been made in foreign air mail rates. Space is not make delivery. The Post Office is not permitted to forward such mail without a forwarding order even though we may have a strong surmise as to present place of residence. “If delivery proves impossible, the post office stands ready to return all first-class mail to sender free of additional cost regardless of distance if the sender has placed his return address in the upper left-hand corner of the face of the envelope. It is much more preferable to place it there than on the back of the envelope which is sometimes done. The name of the sender should be given as well as the address since several people may live at the same street number especially if an apartment or boarding house. If such addresses were on all mail there would be no work for dead letter offices. Very important letters to both sender and addressee often with checks or money orders enclosed are sent out without return addresses. When delivery cannot be made to addressee and the letter is opened at dead letter offices, it will often be found that only a given name is signed and so the letter cannot be returned unless the check or money order gives a clue to the sender. Second, third and fourth-class mail undeliverable to addressee does not come back to sender regardless of return address on it unless return postage has been guaranteed an dthe matter carries such a notation by sender. Payment has not been made for such service. That is one of the reasons should be sent rather than insured, due to hood of losing such a small age. A return receipt costs but 3c, while more the return card with the address of delivery. Fee delivery may be restored addresse only. Unless the payment paid the notation "Deliver dressee Only" written on envelope by the sender will regarded in delivery. 10. COD service need no special explanation. 11. Money orders offer means of sending money to mails and should instead of sending currency either in ordinal class mail or in register While in registered mails will be made good, it is simpler, shorter process a duplicate money order receive payment for a lost listed mail. In the last instance on inspector must time to trace down the through all postal employer have received for it and full investigation. 12. Postal Savings are to $2500 as a maximum, interest paid of 2%. A person have an account in only one On moving they can be ferred without difficulty of interest. 13. United States Bonds offer a safe, non-nong, medium for investment mature in ten years and maturity have a rate of interest. They can be carried time after 60 days and in less or destruction duplex etc., should be sent rather than insured, due to hood of losing such a small age. A return receipt costs but 3c, while more the return card with the address of delivery. Fee delivery may be restored addresse only. Unless the payment paid the notation "Deliver dressee Only" written on envelope by the sender will regarded in delivery. ANAHEIM GAZETTE) Large Sloop holds the record amplifier mouse-catcher.

Ford, the well known south-side nurseryman, was in town in his auto Monday. Mr. Ford says more rain is badly needed throughout the county and unless it comes soon short barley and hay crops will be the result. 4. Ordinary stamps in proper denominations and ordinary envelopes are permissible for use for air mail, but not recommended. The notation "AIR MAIL" should always be placed above the address on the ordinary envelope since that is where all postal clerks are accustomed to look for it. 6. Very substantial reductions have recently been made in foreign air mail rates. Space is not available to give this in detail. But such information is available at our general delivery window. 7. Revenues from first-class mail are the backbone of postal revenues which came to over 750 million dollars last year, the largest in the history of the post office department. All first-class mail is entitled to directory service and forwarding an indefinite number of times until it finally reaches the addresssee regardless of time or distance. However, this is not possible if patrons do not leave forwarding addresses on moving places of residence. When mail addressed to them is returned to the sender people often times blame the post office for failure to deliveries are not made. 8. On first-class matter, addressed to Anaheim people, mailed at Anaheim carrying 2c postage put on letter as complete an address as you know. If you do not know the street number or the box number on a rural route write the street and whether north, south, east or west, or the number of the rural route. Such letters with no address given but Anaheim, California, are to be returned to sender without directory service if the distributors do not know the correct distribution to a city or rural route. People are indignant when we do this but postal regulations having in mind the high cost of directory service leave us no choice when the clerks cannot distribute the letter from memory. 9. Registered mail may go by special delivery or by air. Clerks are not permitted to do the sealing.

Yungbluth date, should be sent registered rather than insured, due to likelihood of losing such a small package. A return receipt for the sender costs but 3c, while for 20c more the return card will show the address of delivery. For a 10c fee delivery may be restricted to addresssee only. Unless this fee is paid the notation "Delivery to Addresssee Only" written on the envelope by the sender will be disregarded in delivery. "10. COD service seems to need no special explanation. "11. Money orders offer a safe means of sending money through the mails and should always be used instead of sending money or currency either in ordinary first-class mail or in registered mail. While in registered mail the loss will be made good, it is a much simpler, shorter process to obtain a duplicate money order than to receive payment for a loss in registered mail. In the latter instance on inspector must have time to trace down the register through all postal employees who have received for it and make a full investigation. This takes time. While for a lost money order all that is necessary is for a form to be filled out and signed, wait thirty days, and receive the money. "12. Postal Savings are limited to $2500 as a maximum, with interest paid of 2%. A person can save an account in only one place. On moving they can be transferred without difficulty or loss of interest. "13. United States Savings bonds offer a safe, non-fluctuating, medium for investment. They mature in ten years and if left to maturity have a rate of 2.90% interest. They can be cashed any time after 60 days and in case of loss or destruction duplicates are soloist Will Play with Federal Group The opportunity to become acquainted with the more unusual instruments of the orchestra will be provided by the federal music project orchestra at its next concert in Santa Ana, April 20.
