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 Pioneers. 50 Years Ago AUGUST 8, 1889 The Board Supervisors of Orange county held their first meeting at Santa Ana on Monday, when Mr. Spurgeon was elected chairman. An orange, with stem and three leaves, was adopted as the emblem for all seals except that of the Superior Court. All officers were instructed to furnish a list immediately of the articles desired for their various offices, preparatory to advertising for the same. Sealed proposals will be received by the board for the rental, for the period of two years of offices for the various officers, August 7 being the date of opening bids. Messrs. Spurgeon and Littlefield were appointed a committee to go to Los Angeles to make arrangements for the transcription of the assessment roll for Orange county. J. B. Pierce was appointed a Justice of the Peace for Anaheim Township. A gossipy letter from "Sunburn" at the Landing is unavoidably crowded out of this issue. It will appear next week. Among the campers at the Landing are Mrs. J. W. Landell and family, Mrs. Fannie Shoemaker and son, Mrs. Arthur Lewis and Mrs. Moosemann, Mrs. R. Melrose and family, Mrs. Strodthoff and family, Mrs. Ey and family, Mrs. Pamperl and family, Mrs. Hillsch. 25 Years Ago JULY 30, 1914 The first step towards a new city hall was taken by the trustees Thursday evening when instructions were given the public improvements committee to submit the matter to an architect or two, have plans drawn up for consideration, and get a line on the actual cost of the work. The plans contemplate merely remodeling the present building, but it will be altered to such an extent that even the oldest inhabitant will not be able to recognize it. Some weeks ago the trustees purchased the building on the corner; now occupied by W. C. Duckworth, of Napoleon Hart, paying $8,500 for it. This will be razed and the ground used for the extension of the new building. It will be necessary to vote bonds for the purpose as the cost will be probably $20,000 or $25,000. When completed it will be sufficient for the needs of the municipal government for years to come. The present building is too antiquated for progressive Anaheim, besides being altogether too small. Three carloads of nuts remaining from last season's crop were shipped Saturday from the packing house of the Fullerton-Placentia Walnut Growers. They will go by way of the Panama canal to the New York market. This lot brings a low price as the quality is poor. They were left on hand when the season closed last fall. New Anthem for America Proposed A movement has been started in New York by Frederic Jagel, re-edited operatic tenor, to obtain a national anthem for the United States. Jagel plans a "New National Anthem" contest and contributed $1000 to the fund finance the contest. An eight-point conclusion been reached by Jagel as the result of his investigation into the study of the present anthem, "Star-Spangled Banner." The poeare: 1. Too few can sing "The Star-Spangled Banner." 2. It is poor composition musically. 3. Too few can remember words. 4. The music was not composed by an American. 5. The anthem lacks spiritual inspiration. 6. It is not a hymn, as an anthem should be, but a barre melody. 7. It is unfriendly to Britain nation now on friendly terms with the United States, and willing forget the past. 8. Its lyrics do not emphasize our philosophy of government. Supporters of the campaign include Lawrence Tibbett, baritone Jascha Heifetz, violinist, Fe Grofe, American composer conductor, and the Rev. J Haynes Holmes. Indian Potentate in New Residence Workmen are rushing to complete land acquisition in New Residence. A gossipy letter from "Sunburn" at the Landing is unavoidably crowded out of this issue.

Judge Towner opened the Superior Court on Monday morning. The first business done was the motion of E. E. Keech that D. M. Baker be admitted to practice law in Orange county. Messrs. Keech, Montgomery and Messmore were appointed a committee to examine Mr. Baker in open court as to his qualifications in the matter. Co.

Sandor Szabo and Jack Manuel Sign By WARREN BAYLEY GEORGE WASHINGTON BIRTH-PLACE NATIONAL MONUMENT, VIRGINIA—From Fredericksburg, Virginia, to the Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers run almost parallel. Separating the two rivers for the entire distance of 100 miles is a narrow strip of land which is a part of the state of Virginia. Upon the narrow strip there are no factories, no railroads, no people on relief or work relief projects, no extreme wealth or extreme poverty. Many children living there today have never seen a train and all in all conditions are much the same as in 1732 when George Washington was born on the banks of Pope's creek. If the above is not sufficient to cause any traveler to desire to make a visit, here are some more James Madison, fourth president, was born on the Rappahannock, about 20 miles from Washington's birthplace. James Monroe, fifth president, was born near Colonial Beach, about 12 miles distant. Stafford Hall, colonial home of the Lees of Virginia is 10 miles distant. Here were born Richard and Francis Lee, both signers of the Declaration of Independence, and their cousin E. Lee. Although the birth of Presidents Madison and Madison are not standing and neithert marked, Stratford Hall has privately restored and is every day to the public. When George Washington three years old, too small to use his hatchet, his father ed the family 55 miles up Potomac to a 2500 acre tract initially acquired by his grandfather which later was to become Mount Vernon. (Details week). After four years in new home they were burned and again moved back in "strip", but this time on an across the river from Frederickburg. It was on this farm the cherry tree incident occurred. A roadside marker designated place. There are also markers note the church and school attended. In 1896 the government ordered a granite shaft to mark the Washington's birthplace which been destroyed by fire on Christmas morning in 1780. In 1919 Birthplace Square, expanded acres by gift and purchase transferred from the war department to the department interior and created a new monument on January 23 of year. Immediate work was upon its restoration. A memorial was erected which though not a replica or reprint... Sandor Szabo and Jack Manuel Sign After a series of matches which culminated in defeat for their opponents, Sandor Szabo, handsome Hungarian, has been signed to meet Jack Manuel, Portuguese, in the main event next Monday night at the O. C. A. C. Manuel has fast been building up a reputation of an "unregular villian" and may well be counted as one of the toughest opponents that Szabo has ever drawn. On the other hand, Szabo will need no introduction to local wrestling fans, and considers himself ripe for a counter attack when Manuel turns loose on him with his punishing arm lock in the ropes, a favorite method that has proved effective in the past. They will go two out of three falls. Without courage there cannot be truth, and without truth there can be no other virtue.—Sir Walter Scott. Laguna Ready for Fifth Area Caucus A bathing beauty contest has been added to the already full program for 2000 guests expected in Laguna Beach for the American Legion Fifth Area caucus Saturday and Sunday.

Center Street Anaheim, Cal Science to Learn More About Mars Planet Will be Comparatively Close to Earth on July 27 Scientists have been trying for centuries to find out whether life exists on other worlds besides our own. Tomorrow they may have clues that will confirm or deny their theories for on that date the planet Mars will be nearer to this earth than at any time since 1924. Now visible in the southern heavens as the brightest object except the moon, tomorrow it will be 36,000,000 miles away, according to Dr. Clarence H. Cleminshaw, assistant professor of astronomy at the University of Southern California and assistant director of the Griffith Park planetarium. Science is ready for the event as never before. Stronger instruments, faster photographic films, and new heat-measuring apparatus will possibly give astronomers new theories to work on. Is there life on Mars? What causes its so-called canals appear straight? Does it indicate the work of a possible Mars-man? Are the lines caused by cracks in the planet's earth or are they optical illusions? "White polar caps changing in size with the Martian seasons, which are twice as long as ours, suggest snow, frost or fog," said Dr. Cleminshaw. "The darker areas are seen to change from bluish green during the Mars summer to brown in autumn suggesting the possibility of a type of vegetation." Scientist know that the planet, which is one-half the size of our earth, has little atmosphere and night. They have also ascertained that gravity on Mars is but two-fifths as great as on this earth, according to Dr. Cleminshaw. "The reddish color of the planet is probably due to iron oxide on its desert surface," said the S. C. instructor, and it can easily be seen as it travels across the sky from the southeast to the southwest during the next few months. It will rise above the horizon in the early evening on July 27."
