Native Son of Pioneer of Anaheim Recalls Old Days of Happy Memory (This article was written exclusively for the Anaheim Gazette by a son of one of the pioneers of Anaheim and himself a native son of the city. —Editor's note.) In 1857, there were 50 German citizens living with their families in San Francisco, and they were engaged in various lines of trade. They decided to form a colony and seek a site for their future homes in southern California. They sent Mr. Hansen, an engineer, to find a location. He spent three years in search of a place, and decided upon the site now known as Anaheim. The climate here was equable, being located midway between the mountains and the sea. In 1860, the pioneers came here, and blazed the trail through the wilderness and laid the foundation for the present beautiful little city of Anaheim. The site consisted of 50 twenty-acre tracts. Grapes were raised for wine making, that being the principal industry. Water for irrigation was taken from the Santa Ana river. A fine grade of wine was made which was sold all over the country, some being snipped to Europe. The pioneers worked hard and made the desert blossom as a rose. The early settlers were prosperous and enjoyed the fruits of their labors. Things so continued until 1885 when a disease known as phylloxera destroyed every grape vine in this section. It was a hard blow to the pioneers. Then, when the Santa Fe railway was built from Kansas City to Los Angeles and through Anaheim, will continue and last for ever more. The name "Anaheim" was derived from the conjunction of two words, "Ana", taken from Santa Ana river, and "Heim," a German word meaning home—Home on the River. The good will toward each other as was evidenced at the gathering of old time friends, causes the mind to revert back to the time when this colony was founded, when the pioneers showed the same good will and friendship to each other, and it is plain to be seen that hearty cooperation and honesty of purpose was the reason why the Mother Colony endured. MORE ABOUT Pioneer Picnic (Continued from Page 1) ent prayer for those who have passed on. Thomas Kuchel being called upon responded with a few words extolling the example left us by the Pioneers, with special reference to his father, the late Henry Kuchel, whose birthday anniversary it was. Mrs. Grimshaw spoke briefly of early days in Anaheim. James Sleeper, who has been county assessor so long that nobody remembers that there ever was anybody else in the office, told how Anaheim has overcome every disaster that has menaced its prosperity and has grown steadily since it for his share in making the success. Every year he fully arranges the tables, raises the tent and has everything readiness for the happy picnic. Altogether, the picnic was of the most enjoyable ever and it is expected that next will see an even larger number of aund lang syne preachers among those present were: Mrs. T., T. Turner, Mrs. M.

The pioneers worked hard and made the desert blossom as a rose. The early settlers were prosperous and enjoyed the fruits of their labors. Things so continued until 1885 when a disease known as phylloxera destroyed every grape vine in this section. It was a hard blow to the pioneers. Then, when the Santa Fe railway was built from Kansas City to Los Angeles and through Anaheim on to San Diego, a land boom was started, which continued until 1888 when it subsided. Later oranges were raised. Now each year the old timers hold what is called a picnic, in commemoration of the founding of the colony. Last Saturday about 100 people assembled at the city park and enjoyed renewing old acquaintances and partaking of a fine dinner. It was a very pleasant event. As of old, those present showed a spirit of friendship and good will toward each other, and as time rolls on, at each succeeding anniversary of the old timers, we all hope and trust that the same spirit of good fellowship Postpone Institute for Lemon Growers The lemon growers institute, announced for this Friday, June 17, at Ontario, has been postponed to a later date in July, according to word just received by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg from the committee on arrangements. The postponement is due to conflict in date with another citrus program, it is reported. The institute was to have taken the place of the usual field tour held by the extension service in Orange county for lemon growers. As soon as the new date for the institute is learned, it will be announced by the extension service through this paper. School Commandant is Kiwanis Speaker Lt. C. A.

James Sleeper, who has been county assessor so long that nobody remembers that there ever was anybody else in the office, told how Anaheim has overcome every disaster that has menaced its prosperity and has grown steadily since it was founded. Earl Abbey, an old Anaheim boy, who was married in this city twenty-five years ago, gave a few reminiscences of his boyhood days. Basil Smith was introduced by Mr. Lewis as the man who so ably fills the position of county clerk, left vacant by the death of Joe Backs, who passed away since our last picnic. Mr. Smith said his highest ambition is to fill the place left vacant by Joe Backs so as to be worthy to be classed with him. A number of old-timers were present for the first time and each was asked to say a few words. Among them was Ramon Aguilar, who was born in 1863 on the old place which afterward became the Werder property. Mr. Aguilar was one of the beaux of the 80's, went to dances with Arthur Lewis, Henry Kuchel, Herman Zeyn and Otto des Granges, the Rimpau boys and other well known old timers. Mr. and Mrs. Neely of Venice were there. Mrs. Neely is the former Miss Helen Browning. Mrs. Fritz Heimann Dunbar of Los Angeles and her brother, Gustav Heimann and wife were also there for the first time, their mother, Mrs. Clôtilde Heimann, planted the rubber tree on Lincoln avenue which is one of the landmarks of Anaheim. Another old timer who was there for the first time was Tom Scott. Tom remembers that one day fifty years ago while boating at the Landing he lost his hat. He mentioned it to Henry Kuchel, and next week was surprised to read in The Gazette that "Tom Scott, while boating on the bay at the Landing, had the bad luck to lose his $25 Panama hat." Tom told us at the picnic last Saturday that he bought the hat from Fritz Yungbluth and it cost only $1.50. Others there for the first time included Mrs. Laura Gade Krooger of San Antonio, Texas, Miss Avis Knowlton of Fullerton, Mrs. W. K. Humbert of Phoenix, former Miss George Bailey, and Aguilar, Margaret C. Witts; Mary E. Coons, Mrs. Victor Lolly, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Champion, Mrs. Ellen Brown; Neely, Mrs. H. G.

C. A. Schmitt, commandant of St. Catherine's Military school, was the guest speaker at the Kiwanis club Tuesday noon, substituting for an officer of the United States coast guard who was unable to be present. The speaker told of the history and work of the coast guard and also traced the history of the school with which he is affiliated. Henry Greenwald was chairman of the day. Joe B. Mitchell Seeking Election Joe B. Mitchell today announced his candidacy for constable of Anaheim township in the August primary elections. In making his announcement, Mitchell pointed to the fact he has had four years of experience as a peace officer in Orange county. One of the candidate's plans, if elected, is to appoint deputies throughout the township to give ranchers every possible consideration and service, he said. This he plans to do without any added expense to the taxpayers, Mitchell declared. Twenty-four-hour service each day in his duties as constable was promised by Mitchell in event of his election. He said his past record as an officer will show he never turned anyone from his home or office without giving the best service possible. QUICKER MOULTING HENS Just take one or two pens of your moulting hens, put them on FEDCO, feed them for 30 to 60 days in direct comparison with the feed you are now using. You will be surprised how much quicker they come out of the moult, better body condition, and how much quicker they go back to laying. This proves Better Balance, Greater Digestibility and Higher Food Value. Some 10,000 Poultrymen are now feeding FEDCO. The Original Complete One Feed For All Ages. Southern California's fastest growing Feed. Same formula for 15 years. Never changes always the same. Sold by your DEALER.

I have had to fight the big interests in doing this, and have been sustained by the superior courts six different times when my system of assessing oil companies has been attacked." Ja. James Sleeper, county assessor, said today.

We also have a complete record of all buildings in the county, their age, square feet in same condition, classification, number of electric and gas fixtures, rooms, etc. "I have collected over sixteen and one-half million dollars on unsecured personal property, which is more than any assessor in the state ever collected, with the exception of the late Ed W.
