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 15, 1889 An old-timer some days ago imparted the information that the time could be recalled when the river bed at the site of the bridge was covered with boulders and the banks of the stream were twenty feet high. This "oldest inhabitant" recalls the time, many years ago, when the rains in the mountains floated logs down in the river bed in such quantities that people throughout the country gathered wood enough to supply their wants for many years. Other people here recall the same occurrence. Many years ago a large freshet washed down an immense quantity of sand, completely filling up the river bed and giving it its present quicksand bottom. The rivers channel is constantly edging towards the west and perhaps will some day overflow its lower bank. The necessary precautions must be taken, however, and proper piling put down. This must be done to protect the new bridge now being constructed at Olive, because in a few years the current is liable to cut its way around the structure. The Board of supervisors should give this matter immediate attention. Perhaps a pile in time will save nine. (The following items are from the Gazette's correspondent at the Landing—Ed.)

Among the campers here we notice all the old Anaheimer's who have come here for years. I suppose the little stingrays would miss one should any of them stay away. On Sunday John Abbey ventured too far out and was caught in the current and carried out to sea. Commodore Davis and John Eason brought him ashore. Mrs. John Hunter is occupying her cottage. She is one of the regular campers and enjoys the water as much as anyone here. Misses Minnie and Dora Zeyn happened to an accident while getting ready to go home at dusk. Their horse got away from them and after a chase for him he was given up for lost and the ladies started home with the rest of the party. At Westminster Mr. Stowe caught him, so they all turned back, harnessed the horse to the carriage and drove home by moonlight after a very enjoyable day. Some of the visitors Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Stone, Chas. Federman, Mr. and Mrs. Bolz and children, Mrs. Browning and Miss Elsie Rust, Mrs. Selinger and family, Mrs. Fassek, Mrs. F. Christ, Mrs. Littlefield and family, Miss Melsheimer, Mrs. Mitchell and children, Miss Kate Power, Regina Classen and others. On Saturday a party consisting of Mrs. Sallie Scott, Mrs. J. W. Hart and children, Mrs. Arthur, Miss Jettie Arthur, and Lloyd Bailey visited the Landing. A good raking up of trash would be an improvement down here. Some people pay little attention to cleanliness, horses and cows being tied any and everywhere and flies and dirt abound. This morning we noticed many bathing in the surf. The tide has washed great holes around the old lighter and wharf. A birthday party was given by Miss Emma Schneider at her home last Thursday evening. A large number of the young lady's friends were present and the evening was most pleasingly spent. Thos. B. Talbert of Huntington Beach, chairman of the Orange county board of supervisors was in town on Saturday. Mr. Talbert has done more for his district in the way of securing good roads and bridges than any of his predecessors, and his popularity is such as to have no doubt of his triumphant election. Total figures of registration in Orange county show there are 21,087 electors upon the great register. The rush for registration on Saturday up to midnight when County Clerk Williams closed his office for the day was phenomenal, and in the neighborhood of a thousand voters had their names placed upon register upon that day. The party designations are as follows: Republican, 9,008; progressive, 3,200; democrat 4,375; socialist 849; prohibition 1,687. A large party of Y.M.C.A. boys leave at 6:30 o'clock this morning for Catalina for a fortnight's outing. Among the real estate transfers recorded this week was one from Emma Cole to Julius J. Schneider of Vineyard lot 46 in this city. The Knights of Pythias have purchased a lot of Mrs. A. Konig on the corner of Los Angeles and Elm and expect shortly to begin the construction of a beautiful temple thereon. Mrs. Selma Passmore and her son, Stewart, of Los Angeles were guests the past week of friends in town. The estate of Michael Cheeseman, who died near this city a year ago, is ready for distribution, the ten-acre ranch going to Mrs. Carrie A. Bird, sister of H. Clay Kellogg, and $337.42 to Mrs. Mary O. Kellogg. Cheeseman was an old friend of the Kellogg family. A Pierotti, the well-known Placentia capitalist and orange grower, was in town on Monday meeting his many friends here-away. Leslie Swope, Sam Newnes, Harry Whitaker, Art Ausley, Percy Swopé, John Young, and Charles Clark enjoyed an outing in Trabuco canyon last week. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH "What man knoweth the truth of a man, save the spirit of a man which is in him? even so things of God knoweth no but the Spirit of God." The words of Paul to the Corinthians are the Golden Text in the Les Sermon on "Spirit" on Sunday all Churches of Christ, Science Bible selections in the Les Sermon present these verses to the Psalms: "O LORD, how my fold are thy works! in wisdom thou made them all: the ear full of thy riches... Thou serve forth thy spirit; they are creed and thou renewest the face of earth... I will sing unto LORD as long as I live: I will praise to my God while I have being... Teach me to do thy work for thou art my God: they spirt good; lead me into the land or rightness." The Lesson-Sermon includes so these passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science Health with Key to the Secures," by Mary Baker Eddy; the Bible the word Spirit commonly applied to Deity; Spirit and God are often regarded as synonymous terms; and thus they are uniformly used understood in Christian Science "Spirit being God, there is but Spirit, for there can be but infinite and therefore one God." Some people play little attention to cleanliness, horses and cows being tied any and everywhere and flies and dirt abound. This morning we noticed many bathing in the surf. The tide has washed great holes around the old lighter and wharf. A birthday party was given by Miss Emma Schneider at her home last Thursday evening. A large number of the young lady's friends were present and the evening was most pleasantly spent. Ice cream and cake were served. Among those preser were Mr. and Mrs. Avery, Misses Emma Schneider, Louise Schneider, Mary Horstman, Idai Everhardy, Lute Bailey, Clara Mosseman, Dora Zeyn, Minnie Zeyn, Elizabeth Kuchel, Kate Champlin: Messrs. Julius Schneider, Frank Schaumberger, Henry Strodthoff, Lloyd Bailey, J. W. Landell and others. The Sisters of the Dominican Convent desire us to say that the next school term will begin on Monday, August 26th. Next week we shall have an article bearing upon the school. The Sisters are most painstaking in their labors and children confided to their care are certain of being thoroughly educated. B. F. Harter left yesterday for the Landing where he will remain for a week. His family is there for the season. The families of H. D. Polhemus, Geo. C. Hagård and John Hanna are sojourning at Newport. Mrs. Hardip and Miss Minnie Zeyn leave today for several weeks sojourn at the Landing. Mrs. Philip Davis and Miss Rose Davis are visiting friends in San Diego. A Pierotti, the well-known Placentia capitalist and orange grower, was in town on Monday meeting his many friends here-away. Leslie Swope, Sam Newnes, Harry Whitaker, Art Ausley, Percy Swope, John Young, and Charles Clark enjoyed an outing in Trabuco canyon last week. F. L. Rambarter has purchased a grocery store at Claremont and has recently moved his family thither. E. E. Smith of the German American bank, is spending a two-weeks vacation at Bear Valley and Seven Oaks. Mrs. Bennett and daughter of Los Angeles have been visiting at the home of W. P. Quarton. D. Degryse lost four of his employees yesterday. They were Frenchmen and responded to their country's call for aid from all patriotic citizens in its hour of need. Their names are F. B. Plou, A. Plou, J. B. Nougue, and L. B. Lamane. They will report to the French consul in Los Angeles who will send them on to France. They will return to Anaheim at the close of the war if their lives are spared. BEE STINGS TONGUE Stung on the tongue when a bee entered his mouth, Jack Allen, 14, of Santa Ana was given emergency treatment and taken to his home by a Santa Ana police officer last Friday. The boy was riding his bicycle when the unusual accident occurred. County's Welfare Case Load 3,959 National 2279 Cases Found on SRA Rolls, Latest Figures Reveal Range county had a total welfare load of 3,959 in May, according to a study of re- California counties, recently dated by California Taxpay- association. The county's wel- load was made up of 2,699,693 children cases, 127 blind, 40 indigent cases. There were cases receiving SRA aid in county in April, 1939, the lat- month for which statistics were able, the association found. Throughout the state there were 80 cases receiving county care aid in May and 98,424 receiving SRA aid in April, association stated. A case, the station pointed out, may be for several persons. Indigent children cases, especially com- all the indigents or children fami- ly. Of the total of 213-cases receiving aid, 130,832 aged, 38,114 were children, were blind, and 38,341 were sent, it was found. Dependencies for charities and actions, under which the coun- welfare case load payments amounted to 51 per cent of age county's expenditures for 228, the association stated.

The cave, with its score of eerie formations and weird passageways, had been inaccessible until this year. A 1300-foot trail, ranging in width from two or four feet, will lead visitors by the more interesting cavern signs. Five tunnels were bored through rock to connect passageways and underground chambers. The longest is approximately 60 feet in length. The new park attraction, one of the few if not the only accessible cavern in southern California, is six miles northwest of park-administration headquarters at Giant Forest. It is reached by driving five miles and hiking one mile over a recently constructed trail. Work is now being completed on the installation of indirect illumination. Projects' Costs Will be $380,000 The proposed Fullerton creek job, already authorized by the board of supervisors, and the West Anaheim storm drain project, will cost a total of $380,000, reports from Santa Ana early this week said. The storm drain work is proposed as a necessity under terms of an order by Superior Judge Charles C. Haines of San Diego county, who recently awarded damages to Ranchers Arthur Har- Woman Republican Party Leader Condemns Pension Plan Electio H. D. McBride, 828 N. Pine street, recently was an interested listener to a program presented by the Long Beach Republican Womens' Study club at Bixby park. "I was so impressed with what those women were doing and the serious interest shown in vital issues of the day," McBride declared, "that I could not help but pay attention." "Mrs. Paul C. Blaisdell, president, California Council Republican Women, southern division, discussed the forthcoming 'Ham and Eggs' election and her dynamic talk gave me something to think about." "It would be a good idea," McBride said, "for every citizen to give consideration to Mrs. Blaisdell's discussion of the 'Ham and Eggs' proposition." Excerpts from her talk follow: "The most important issue of the day for the consideration of California voters is the California Retirement Pension Plan, better known as 'Ham and Eggs'. "Despite its defeat by popular vote at the last general election, a special election called by Governor Olson for November 7 will again bring it before the electorate. "Governor Olson's reason for calling this costly election is that so many of our elder citizens have demanded it, that he could not ignore their plea. On the other hand however, he does find it possible to ignore the inarticulate plea of the majority of voters as expressed on this question at the last election. "Which provides another glaring example of the governor's disregard of the will of the majority as well as the evident resentment for old age security from these states will flock here by the lands and at a time when state's relief and indigent situs is already dangerously acute national plan of old age so would not place such hazard on the backs of the taxpayers isolated state. "Because the issue is clear it is unnecessary to give any controversial discussion seeking to analyze any claimed merits of the 'Ham Eggs' plan. It is clearly that of every voting citizen simply interested in keeping Cal- out of the red and socially to vote against this local man and to insist that the problem is a national affair. "It is well to keep in mind considering pension legislature that there is an ever-increasing effort being made to force and more groups in the strata of America to be depu- upon government. This is a longing situation. In whichever the majority of citation's citizenry succumbed philosophy that govern should support the people than that the people should port the government, a dis- ship has replaced self-governing." "Unthinking and hasty sale of any pension plan which has the promoter's purse and thus rather than protects the eec security of the aged will long run, undermine our American Democracy." welfare case load payments amounted to 51 per cent of large county's expenditures for 28, the association stated, giving out that great care in defining eligibility for relief be exercised. In determining eligibility for aid, a careful worker will investigate reliable relatives, roomers orders, cash on hand; bank deeds, securities, personal property (including automobile), realerty, lodge benefit, military fit, employment of members in household, possibility of ending the laws regarding failure provide, and federal assistance, as CCC and NYA, the associates said. The proposed Fullerton creek job, already authorized by the board of supervisors, and the West Anaheim storm drain project, will cost a total of $380,000, reports from Santa Ana early this week said. The storm drain work is proposed as a necessity under terms of an order by Superior Judge Charles C. Haines of San Diego county, who recently awarded damages to Ranchers Arthur Hartelt and Jerome D. Wallace. The court was held that the basin needed further protection. Cost of the proposed improvement to the storm drain has not been learned, but it is not expected to be in excess of $30,000. If it reaches this sum, it will leave about $350,000 as cost of the Fullerton creek project, outlined to be done in a series of projects. The channel will be widened, straightened and deepened, and lined with concrete. Patterson to Seek Election to Senate Lieutenant-Governor Ellis Patterson reiterated his previous intention to seek election as United States senator next year when he spoke before a meeting of democrats in Santa Ana last Thursday evening. Patterson also assailed the newspapers of the state for what he termed was unfairness in reporting activities of the present state administration. Dr. Millikan Will Talk at Santa Ana Dr. Robert A. Millikan, president of Cal-Tech, will speak at Santa Ana high school auditorium next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. His subject will be, "A Scientist's Philosophy." The meeting is open to the public and no collection will be taken. Dr. Millikan's appearance will be the forerunner of a plan to organize "The Institute for the Study of Philosophy of Christianity" in Santa Ana.

Center Street Anaheim, Ca Party Leader Plan Election Old age security from other states will flock here by the thousands and at a time when the state's relief and indigent situation already dangerously acute. A national plan of old age security would not place such hazards on backs of the taxpayers in one related state. Because the issue is clear cut, it is unnecessary to give time to controversial discussion or inking to analyze any of the limited merits of the 'Ham and Angels' plan. It is clearly the duty of every voting citizen sincerely interested in keeping California free of the red and socially secure, vote against this local measure and to insist that the pension problem is a national affair. It is well to keep in mind in considering pension legislation that there is an ever-increasing short being made to force more and more groups in the social data of America to be dependent upon government. This is a challenging situation. In the past whenever the majority of a nation's citizenry succumbed to the philosophy that government should support the people rather than that the people should support the government, a dictatorhip has replaced self-government. Unthinking and hasty support of any pension plan which fattens the promoter's purse and threatens rather than protects the economic security of the aged, will in the long run, undermine our great American Democracy. Fifth Area Causus is Held at Laguna More than 2000 American Legion post members from five southern California counties met in Laguna Beach last week end for their annual Fifth Area causus. Endorsements of William Dunn of Imperial county for department commander and Robert R. Dinsmore for Fifth Area commander were features of the meeting. Pension Followers Hear Two Speakers Samuel C. Converse and Mrs. Blanche Sharon were the speakers at the semi-monthly meeting of the Anaheim followers of the pension plan to be voted upon November 7. The meeting was held Tuesday evening at the Horace Mann school. New Cover Crop Test to be Made Calcarata vetch, a new early maturing variety of vetch, will be planted and observed on several soil types in Orange county this fall. Limited supplies of seed have been secured by the farm advisor from the university-experiment station at Meloland to make local tests in cooperation with several Orange county growers. It has been under observation at the Meloland station, having been selected from a single early maturing plant several years ago in that district by Superintendent Goar. The supply of seed has been gradually built up to where it can be distributed in small lots for further tests in the orchard areas where early maturity is desired.
