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 December 12, 1889 On Saturday last a large number of Bolsa settlers were in town or the purpose of making their initial payments upon property in the hitherto disputed territory at Bolsa. Twenty-three settlers made payments upon land, but as the contracts for the transaction have not yet been perfected a report of the sales cannot be given until next week. The number of acres embraced in these sales amounted to 1060. Col. "Bole" Northam, the Land company's agent is on his way to San Francisco with the papers for final signature, and when he returns the sales will be made public. Since October 1st the sales of the Land company have amputed to 7,645 acres, all located in this immediate vicinity. Of this amount 2,600 acres were purchased by the Anaheim home-train tract for $100,000. The Centralla Colony tract purchased 1,005 acres, which has been subdivided and sold. Fifteen hundred acres were sold in the oil belt north of town, 370 acres in small transfers and 1,060 acres to the Bolsa settlers. The major portion of the land lies within the new irrigation district, and will all be occupied shortly, as the location and quality of the land are such that, at the low prices asked, they are considered the "snap" real estate bargains of the year. Tim Lynch of San Francisco, 25 Years Ago December 3, 1914 In pursuit of their determination to ferret out all nuisances and make Anaheim absolutely clean the board of health made a tour of Chinatown last Tuesday. The exterior of the buildings down on that section of Chartres street would indicate that much cleaning would be required before places would conform to the ideas set by Dr. Truxaw and his brigade of health preservers, but the visitors were agreeably disappointed after inspecting the interior of the houses. They found their mode of furnishing and living considerably different from those of the white man, but nothing upon which to hang a complaint could be discovered in any of the houses. The Chinaman's indifference to outward appearances was apparent, however, and some of them were told that a little profitable work could be put in on the yards. They promised to immediately comply with the request of the board and have already done so. It is not anticipated that any trouble will be caused by Chinatown in the clean up campaign. The vote cast in California at the November election was 961,647, out of a registration of 1,219,345. This is 300,000 greater than in the election two years previously, and at least 150,000 above the anti-election estimates. Carl Johnson of the Holly County Expends $87,129 for A More Than 2000 Persons Given Help During September Aid to 2,696 needy aged persons in Orange county in September 1939, averaged $32.32 per person or a total aid paid out through county for the one month of $129, according to a study of age assistance in California counties, recently completed by California Taxpayers' association. Total aid to the needy aged for year ending September 30, 1939, the county amounted to $1,023,448. In California 134,668 needy persons received aid during thatember, averaging $32.46 per person. The cost of such aid to payers was $4,371,448 for that month. For the year ending September 30, 1939, aid to needy persons in California exceeded $50,000,000, the actual figures ing $50,270,061, the association found. Aid to the needy aged in California is financed on a three-basis, the association stated, paying out that county state federal governments contrie However, the total cost of all aid must be paid by the taxpayerthe association declared. "The number of persons receiving needy aged aid has shown steady increase since such assurance was started in Californiathe association said." In addition,the average aid per individual increased With 2,046 paired in 1930 at $22.08 per person such aid has gone to the 134 persons receiving average ad $32.46 in September, 1939. Tim Lynch of San Francisco, connected with the land department of the Southern Pacific railroad, was in town last week. Years ago Mr. Lynch was a resident of Anaheim and his friends were about are legion. Several new street lamps have been placed in position during the week, which greatly improves our thoroughfares during dark and rainy nights. There are now thirty-two street lamps in town, and belated pedestrians will have a good word for the generosity of the city trustees. An important orange sale was transacted here on Saturday. The Gilman orange crop is a large one and the owners decided to ask for bids for the golden fruit. Sealed proposals were opened on Saturday and it was found that Messrs Thacker Bros. through the agency of Col F. H. Smith were the lucky purchasers. Their bid being $7,350 for the entire crop which brings it to about $9 per acre. The Carl Frutti company bid $7,101 and the bids of other firms arranged in smaller amounts. Last year the crop of this orchard sold for $4,300, the orange market being somewhat depressed but the year before the crop brought $0,000. These returns show the splendid results which wait upon scientific orange growing. In this locality after the bids were opened Mr. Gilman ordered several bottles of champagne, which were drunk to his health. Wm. M. McFadden has sold his orange crop on the trees for $1400. On Monday evening at number of friends of the Misses Jessie and Hilda Witte tendered them a surprise party at their home on Center street. The young people met at the residence of the Misses Dora and Minnie Zeyn and from there marched to the Witte residence. Mrs. Witte was the only one of the household who was aware of the surprise.

This is 300,000 greater than in the election two years previously, and at least 150,000 above the anti-election estimates. Carl Johnson of the Holly Sugar company says that Orange county may well be termed the "Sugar Bowl" of the entire country, as there are more sugar beets grown here than in any other county in the United States. Of the 77 factories in this country extracting sugar beets, five of them are located in this county—also a larger number of factories than are to be found in any other county.

Instinct plays a great part in lives of the so-called lower mals, but experiments have convinced most naturalists that do have limited capacities thinking. The fact that dream indicates the possessive imagination.

However, that is not true, and the best plan to follow is to use the amount recommended on your baking powder can. Because of the increased efficiency of KC and some other baking powders in use today, representing about 80% of the baking powder consumed, they would be used properly to insure successful baking. The following rules will be helpful in bringing about desired results: First, always use the amount specified on your baking powder can. This proportion has been worked out as best for that particular type. With KC, one level teaspoonful to a cup of sifted flour is sufficient for most recipes. Second, measure carefully—remember that an excess amount of any baking powder does not produce best results. A level teaspoonful means that you must level off with a knife. K.C. baking powder, the brand to be used in the Anaheim Gazette Ten Burglaries are Traced to One Man A lone burglar is held responsible for ten crimes in Santa Ana, all committed during the early hours of Monday morning, according to police at the county seat. The total lost obtained by the burglar amounted to approximately $75, police said. Despite being seen by several victims, some of whom attempted to capture him, the burglar assertedly went from one house to another during the approximately two and a half hours he operated.

The All-Year club, southern California's official tourist-attracting agency, was chosen by the bureau to lead off a series oficles in its official bulletin on America's tourist promotion campaigns. This was done because the All-Year club is the oldest continuous organization of its size in the United States. More than 1,638,000 visitors located in southern California in 1938, spending $195,000,000 for their fun," read the bulletin. "How, under the guidance of the All-Year club, this tourist industry grew from a $20,000,000 infant in 1921 to the money-making giant in 1938 is a story of merchandising as studied and planned as the sales campaign of a national manufacturer." The organization, the bulletin said, has operated consistently on the theory that "any business whether it be selling vacations or marketing stoves, must be governed by rigid rules and accurate principles." For the benefit of the rest of the American tourist industry, the bulletin explained how the All-Year club operates in five steps: (1) Advertising throughout the east. (2) Mailing scores of thousands of "How to Plan Your Trip to Southern California" Booklets. (3) Passing out thousands more of the Official Vacation Guidebooks at the California border. (4) Operating downtown Free Visitor's Bureau to help tourists enjoy themselves—and stay here longer. (5) Publicity service which keeps southern California in the newsreels, headlines, and magazines.
