These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Dally Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange county in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 Years Ago AUGUST 29, 1889 A large number of citizens assembled at Kroeger's hall Saturday afternoon to discuss the new irrigation district's bond issue and other matters that might come before the meeting. John Hunter was called to the chair and Max Nebelung acted as secretary. Among those who took part in discussing the affairs of the new district were Messrs. McFadden, Gardiner, Kellogg, Rimpau, Cadman, Wood, Schulte and others. A motion was made to place the amount of bonds at $600,000, which was afterward amended, reducing the sum to $500,000. A substitute was offered placing the amount at $700,000, which was lost. The amendment failing to carry, a vote was taken upon the original motion, fixing the bonds at $600,000 and it was carried unanimously. A lengthy report as to the expense of forming the new district was presented by Messrs. Kellogg and Sorenson.

The new office is very nicely fitted up, having some 315 Yale lock boxes arranged. 25 Years Ago AUGUST 20, 1914 Another step toward the widening and improvement of West Center street has been taken this week. It removes from this important business district an old eyesore, the old livery stable which is being dismantled and removed. When the movement toward the widening of the street was agitated some months ago, and the property owners unanimously agreed to shave down their frontages eight feet, it was also decided that all old wooden buildings should be eventually removed and replaced with modern brick or stone, the owners Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Fisher, were among the foremost in advocating widening of the street, and at the time contemplated removal of the old building, but they were blocked by Dr. W. S. McFarlane, proprietor of the livery stable. In purchasing the business from Oliver Hill, Dr. McFarlane also purchased a long time lease on the premises and he refused to cancel it. The Doctor was finally persuaded to give up his lease, the consideration being $500 in cash and other concessions of value, and he promptly vacated, removing the livery stock to the Palace stables. It is announced that a modern hotel, which is one of the crying needs of Anaheim will be erected. Garden Grove will hold a barbecue and celebration on August 22.

Weight of the declaration Dockweiler was increased by a recent announcement of Governor Culbert Olson to the effect he this area is entitled to a state park since a major portion of the park fund comes from the oil pumps at Huntington Beach. Dockweiler predicted that before very long" the population of the southland would exceed that New York City and that some vision must be made for the re-creation of the populace. "The land at this time is so paratively little compared to value it will have in a few years he declared. Another member of the board also spoke favorably. The proposal of the group soring the move was presented by the park board by City Councilman Tom Talbert of Hunting Beach who pointed out the day of losing the stretch of beach...

State Beach Park Project is Aided Commission and Officials of Orange County Confer Last Saturday By WARREN BAYLEY ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY, VIRGINIA — Although Arlington is the best known of all national cemeteries, it takes its fame from the fact that it was the home of Robert E. Lee, the great American soldier. Here he and the beautiful and accomplished Mary Ann Curtis were married on June 30, 1831; here their seven children were born; here General Lee made the momentous decision to join the confederate army in April, 1861. Arlington was the only home General Lee and his family had from the day of his marriage until the federacy fell. Under an act of congress the estate was seized by the war department in 1862 because the taxes were delinquent. Mrs. Lee, the owner, sent the necessary sum by messenger but the tax commission refused to accept it on the grounds that she had to appear in person and make the payment. When she did not appear the estate was sold at public auction and was bought in by the war department for $26,800. After the death of General and Mrs. Lee, their son, also a general, petitioned congress for a return of the property. Congress ignored the petition and he brought suit against the government. In 1879 a jury decided in his favor. The government, through the attorney-general, carried the case to the supreme court and bitterly contested the decision of the lower court. Finally, in 1882, the supreme court, with a divided bench, upheld the decision. But for the generosity of the Lee family all the bodies in Arlington at that time would have had to be removed. General Lee, however, finally agreed to sell the property to the government and in 1883 the money was appropriated and the transfer was made. Although the cemetery was originally set aside as a resting place for union soldiers and sailors, the first burial was a confederate trooper who had been wounded at the Battle of Bull Run. Today, any soldier who has worn the uniform of this country can be buried in Arlington; and it has thus been Robbery Suspects are Freed by Otho P. Herrington and G.

MILK ----- Delivered to your Door each morning ACACIA DAIRY ANAHEIM 2078 This advertisement of Orange county's gr Cars May Pass to Right on Roads With Four or More Marked Lanes Motorists on any highway with car or more marked traffic lanes, on and after September 19, unable legally to pass to the right other cars moving in the same direction, according to the law department of the Automobile Lab of Southern California. On that date an amendment enacted at the recent session of the legislature will become effective, permitting such passing provided that highway has four or more marked lanes for moving traffic, passing to the right on three-lane and two-lane highways will remain illegal, except when overriding and passing a car which is making a left turn or has signalled intention of making such a turn. Present law passing on the tent is lawful only upon city streets wide enough for two lanes of traffic in each direction. The difference between the rule on both passing outside cities has relied in considerable confusion in the minds of motorists, many interpreting the city rule to apply inside. The amendment was recommended by the advisory committee on motor vehicle legislation over an extensive study of the traffic accident experience on a large number of miles of four-lane rural highways within city limits.
