IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange county in the Days of the Ploneers. 50 Years Ago A dispatch from Fresno last week gave an account of a very important brandy seizure. At one vineyard the government detectives found 25,000 gallons of brandy concealed besides other liquors. Great excitement prevails among the wine makers and it is predicted that an investigation will reveal the existence of a large and corrupt ring there. The orange groves at Anaheim, says the Los Angeles Herald are well cared for and as profitable as ever. There is a net profit of $500 an acre in orange culture under the best conditions, and that profit can be relied upon one year after another far more confidently than the western farmer can trust to get $10 an acre out of wheat growing. Through the courtesy of George H. Amerige, one of the proprietors of the Fullerton townsite, a Gazette representative was shown through the elegant St. George Hotel at Fullerton on Monday. The house is equipped with all the modern appliances which make up a commodious hotel. Under the efficient management of the present leasee, Mr. Leidig, the hotel will undoubtedly win public favor.

This was the first class confirmed since 1908. The occasion was one of much interest here as indeed is any mention of the historic church which was built by the mission fathers led by the revered Fra. Junipero Serra.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Leaves From Local History by The Historian In the early days sheep raising was an important industry, and sheep shearing gave work to a large number of men, mostly Mexicans. One gang of men had a boss named Santos. Another headman was Jose. There was rivalry between the two outfits. One day Jose pulled his gun and called to Santos to "Suveta 'e armanos," meaning, put up your hands. Instead, Santos pulled his six shooter and had Jose doing a lively two-step in dodging bullets that flew past him. It so happened that Jose's gun had only blank cartridges; he meant only to throw a scare into Santos. It was exciting while it lasted. Later, the men became reconciled and were good friends. Another old time character was Dick Chilson. He was a hale fellow, well met and was of an adventurous nature. Dick was a mining man and upon three different occasions went prospecting for gold over in Arizona. He was successful and made three good strikes. He would cash in on his gold mines and come here to enjoy himself. He made the old Planters hotel his headquarters and spent money freely. He also spent much time in Los Angeles at Perry Brothers' Club theater on North Main street. When one fortune was gone he would go back to the mines looking for another one. Then one day a man was seen coming up the road riding a horse and leading a pack animal. The man Ames in Race JUDGE H. G.

Even the joy which came as ranging gavels announced sine die adjournment of the house and Senate was marred by the special session prospects. None of the members want to be called back, but observers see strong possibility for an extraordinary session soon after the November elections. The possibility is based on: (1) threatened collapse of the $20,000,000-100 railroad industry; (2) bumper crops bogging down the "planned economy" scheme and farm structure; and (3) continuing business decline and mounting unemployment. In reality—but not technically—a special session would fall in the category of a "lame duck" session. The Norris bill, passed only a few years ago, forbids "lame duck" sessions, but, of course, any session called between November and next January 3 would be officially referred to as an "emergency session" and not a lame duck. Congressional tempers were especially sharp in closing days of session. C. I. O. Chieftain John Lewis can vouch for that. Lewis moved in" on the speaker's office just before adjournment and summoned congressmen to his presence to demand that they amend the Walsh-Healey act to set up a blacklist" of companies not seeking eye-to-eye with the National Labor Relations board. After the labor leader had "dismissed" the congressmen, they heated remarks went into the official record as one member after another described the incident as "the most shocking and disgraceful activity that has taken place in the nation's capitol in decades." The next day the incident led to another precedent. One of the congressmen found, to the amazement of the newspaper corps at the capitol, that his remarks attacking the affair had been omitted from the official record of proceedings, the Congressional Record. In his remarks he had attacked Lewis for "taking up his headquarters in the offices of the third highest ranking official of our government and demanding that representatives of a free people come before him and bend their knees in craven supplication." Upon investigation, the congressmen said he had learned that a union printer at the government printing office had left the remarks out "because he didn't know how to handle them." The seventy-fifth congress, by the way, was the longest since the seventy-first congress convened to legislate emergency - depression measures. The 71st remained in session 529 days the last congress was in session 419. Representative Stefan, of Nebraska, believing that inventors might think up some new-fangled machine that would create some new jobs and thereby relieve unemployment, recently called upon City Attorney Raymond Thompson of Placentia is expected to file a report with the city council soon relative to calling a bond election for the erection of a new city hall and establishment of a municipal water system.

Now he's trying to find some inventor who'll tell him what to do with the ideas. "Every mail," he says, "brings in a new pack. I'm getting so many that my head is spinning like a perpetual motion machine." But some of the ideas weren't so bad at that, he admits, and points to one meritorious suggestion from Olathe, Kansas—an Olathe inventor says a machine to catch grasshoppers will solve it.
