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 October 24, 1889 Rain begain falling on Sunday morning and fell quite heavily during the day when .88 of an inch was registered by Langenberger's gauge.

Last year to date we had only .10 of an inch of rain which fell on August 31st. Miss Minnie Baker of the Santa Ana Standard, and Miss Lillie Neill of Santa Ana were visitors at this office on Saturday afternoon last. Miss Baker is a writer of charming originality and adds greatly to the excellence of her father's newspaper. Besides she is a lady of rare beauty as Miss Neill is also. Call again ladies. We are always home to see our friends of Santa Ana. Alexander Gardiner of Orange-thorpe who has superintended English's threshing outfit during the season, reports that the thresher's work was interrupted Monday by the heavy rains. The outfit have been at work continuously during 114 days, except Sunday's since the beginning of the season. The street lamp in front of the Planter's hotel was replaced by a tallow candle stuck in a bottle on 25 Years Ago October 15, 1914 A new enterprise that promises to be a great convenience to the people of Anaheim has just been established. It is the interurban Auto Line and the stage will run daily between this city and Los Angeles, H. A. Sweet is the owner and manager of the line. He brought his big car in Monday on the initial trip and made arrangements for the regular runs hereafter. The big machine carries 32 passengers. It leaves the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets every morning at 8:35, and will make the trip in little more than an hour. Returning it will leave its station in Los Angeles at 4 p.m. Fare for the round trip will be $1.00. Orange is the terminus of the line, and the stage will also pick up passengers at Fullerton and Whittier. On four different occasions in the past four years the S. Q. R. Store has suffered damage from runaway teams or unmanageable automobiles. Wednesday evening about 7 o'clock a car belonging to the Sisson garage at Fullerton, driven by C. N. Laycock, ran out on the sidewalk and straddled the corner and broke a heavy plate glass on both the Center and Los Angeles street sides. The damage was estimated at $60.

Pierce, is here seeking to ferre out the cause of the mysterious vine disease which is now making serious headway in other parts of the state, Fresno being particularly hard hit. Prof. Pierce occupied Tuesday looking over some of the old files of the Gazette from which he derived many valuable points as to the beginning of the vine disease in Anaheim. He is now engaged in gathering data from our files. A disease now ravaging Italy resembles the local malady in many ways. The Italian vineyards have had the disease for 30 years.

Laycock was turning from Center into Los Angeles street when a bewildered pedestrian who was crossing Los Angeles street got in the way. To avoid running him down the driver turned his auto and dashed into the sidewalk. The pedestrian was saved but the windows suffered. The automobile was only slightly damaged, Mr. Laycock came over from Fullerton the next day and paid the damage.

A vigorous campaign of opposition to the "Ham and Eggs" plan is being launched to offset the efforts of the promoters who are trying to put the scheme over. Two Radiocasts to be Released Soon Help Sought for County Farm Farm Credit Administrators Seeks Means to Assist Indebted Ranchers Means of aiding Pacific farmers, including about 15 Orange county, who have granted temporary reprieve farm foreclosure is being assisted by Farm Credit administrative officials, reports from Wash., this week disclose. It is hoped that these farms will obtain immediate financial turnover commensurate with creases in prices of food and produce resulting from the peanut war, FCA officials said. The federal government, ever, will not place much emphasis on price increase as an aid to farmers hard hit by failure and general low Other means of relief are worked out. It is estimated that the 15 range county farmers are or largely in default on Land bank commissioner loan proaching $740,000. "The position of these boys said the Farm Credit administration, "who are not able to cause of reasons beyond the control, will be carefully analyze determine what type of assistance may be invoked to enable them to carry on." The farm credit situation presents a favorable picture in difficulties experienced many farmers, officials claim most a fourth of all lcr loans made since 1933 have repaid. Since the farm credit of 1935, 31 per cent of loans been made for outright purchase of farms, and 71,000 farm Program of NYA Expanded Here New employment possibilities for youth of Orange county are opened to young people from cities of a relief status, but the new regulations a youth eligible where the family income not exceed $94 a month.

MERLE E WEST PRESENTS: Mr. Merlin and Monty Anaheim business and civic leaders to conduct a campaign against "30 Every Thursday" was completed last Friday morning, with A. C. Riutcel, retired business man, named campaign manager. Headquarters for the organization are Rooms 207 and 208, California Bank Building. A vigorous campaign of opposition to the "Ham and Eggs" plan is being launched to offset the efforts of the promoters who are trying to put the scheme over, Riutcel said. "The warrant portion of the proposed amendment is only a small part of the 11,000-word act the people are voting on," the campaign manager said. "Other parts of the law which would still remain in effect even though the use of the warrants was ruled against by the courts are far more vicious and crippling in their effect than the warrants themselves. "As an example, the proposed three per cent gross transaction tax would be especially harmful if enacted in this state alone and would mean that many large industries such as aircraft, automobiles, tire manufacturers and others would close their doors and move to other states to escape the tax. Orange growers would also have to pay this tax on every box of fruit taken from the groves and would also be faced with an almost confiscatory raise in their county taxes caused by the dropping from the tax rolls of all property assessed at $3000 or less. It is estimated that about half of the property now taxed is in this classification and taxes now paid from this group would have to be assumed by those who were not exempted. "These are some of the more harmful clauses in the proposed act that are not receiving any publicity from the promoters of the scheme for obvious reasons. All we ask is that people read the law for themselves and see what it contains, instead of taking the word of the promoters for what they think is in the law and what they hope will do. This is the most important issue that has ever faced the people of California in its history and their failure to take decisive action on it may mean the difference between con- Two Radiocasts to Be Released Soon Local radio listeners will be interested in the announcement that the Columbia Broadcasting system will radiocast programs of Christian Science which may be heard over KNX, Hollywood, as follows: Sunday, October 15, at 8 a.m., From San Francisco, by Justice Douglas L.

Farm Credit administration officials, reports from Washington is week disclose. It is hoped that these farmers will obtain immediate financial reins commensurate with increases in prices of food and other induce resulting from the Euroon war, FCA officials said. The federal government, however, will not place much dependence on price increase as an early step to farmers hard hit by crop failure and general low prices. Other means of relief are being worked out. It is estimated that the 130 Orange county farmers are wholly largely in default on Federal and bank commissioner loans approaching $740,000. "The position of these borrows," said the Farm Credit administrator, "who are not able to pay because of reasons beyond their control, will be carefully analyzed to determine what type of assistance may be invoked to enable them to carry on." The farm credit situation presents a favorable picture in spite of difficulties experienced by many farmers, officials claim. Almost a fourth of all long-term loans made since 1933 have been paid. Since the farm credit act 1935, 31 per cent of loans have been made for outright purchase farms, and 71,000 farms have an expected general American business revival, to be led to a large degree by the automobile industry. Glittering new motor cars, breath-taking in their beauty and design, will be ready for the inspection of throngs of the American automotive public. Every make of the 20 American automobiles and all body styles will be represented.
