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 March 6, 1890 Buena Park Notes—The Park is happy to announce a recent acquisition in the person and family of Wm. E. Downing. He has purchased 200 acres of the Coyotes rancho, adjoining Buena Park on the northeast, and informs me that he intends building on and improving this valuable ranch at once. This purchase is of more than local interest, as the old landmark, the Coyote House, stands upon the land. He brought twenty-two horses with him. Saturday, March 1st the tall smokestack at the condensed milk factory began pouring out smoke at the first trial of the seventy-five horse-power boiler. The manager, Mr. Young, was well pleased with its working. The process of condensing milk requires perfect machinery. The factory would have begun business on February 1st but owing to delays caused by blockades in the railroad, is not quite ready. Our section will probably have a splendid exhibit of oranges at the fair in Los Angeles next week. The Anaheim display will be near the center of the right-hand side of the Pavilion and will be certain to attract the attention of all visitors. Messrs. McFadden and Keith have appointed Frank Schaumberger as manager of the exhibit, and he is already arranging for the display. All that is needed now to make the Anaheim 25 Years Ago March 4, 1915 Should all the building propositions now under consideration be carried to a successful issue the year 1915 will see so many important changes that certain sections of the business district will be so transformed as to be unrecognizable. Some of these buildings are under construction, others under contract, and still others only under consideration at present. Chief among the buildings to be erected this summer is the new hotel which John Zeigler proposes to build upon the site of the present Commercial House at the corner of Lemon and Center. For many years a hotel suitable to the needs of the growing town have been agitated by the board of trade. Mr. Zeigler now contemplates the erection of a building that will furnish ample accommodations to the transient trade. The building will have a 70 foot frontage on Center street and 103 feet on Lemon. It will be four stories high and will contain 57 sleeping rooms. The dining room will accommodate 100 guests. The cost of the structure, exclusive of grounds is $40,000. The front is to set back eight feet from the present sidewalk to conform to the new frontage line. Plans for remodeling the Odd Fellows building on West Center have been accepted and work will begin immediately. Eight feet will also be cut from the street Erosion Problem Report Completed Recommends Expenditure of $750,000 in County to Protect Shoreline The long-awaited report of Federal Erosion board on Orange county coastline erosion problem has been completed, it was reported at Sunset Beach early this week. A copy of the report is being forwarded to L. A. Patch Sunset Beach, chairman of Orange County Coast association committee on beach erosion. The report has been submitted to congress and embodies recommendation for immediate expenditure of $750,000 in Orange county for protection to the shoreline. The report indicates that emergency work is urgently needed in the Sunset Beach and West New York areas, which have been subjected to such severe erosion by wave action due storms that natural replenishment of beach material will insufficient to effect satisfactory restoration. Specific recommendations are protecting the beach here made in the report. Local lovers have been awaiting outcome of the federal survey before any action in the probes since the federal report embodies recommendations by leading engineers in the nation. Recommended for Sunset Beach is construction of a second jetty at Anaheim Bay entrance, an extensive bulkhead along the shoreline, and a system of seven grids with sand fills between, all estimated cost of about $600. Construction of nine long grids to cost over $236,000 was reconsidered. Our section will probably have a splendid exhibit of oranges at the fair in Los Angeles next week. The Anaheim display will be near the center of the right-hand side of the Pavilion and will be certain to attract the attention of all visitors. Messrs. McFadden and Keith have appointed Frank Schaumberger as manager of the exhibit, and he is already arranging for the display. All that is needed now to make the Anaheim display the finest at the Fair is for our orange growers to come forward with their displays and contribute to the excellence of the display. Among the judges appointed are S. Littlefield and R. H. Gilman. In two days last week Wm. Schumacher bagged 150 birds at the seashore near Newport. Birds are somewhat scarce this season as compared with last year, but are now becoming more plentiful. The Metz block now rapidly nearing completion makes a very fine appearance, and reflects great credit not only upon Contractor Schindler, but also upon the architect, J. Lee Burton of Los Angeles, who was down on a business visit last week. Mrs. Metz may congratulate herself on having one of the handsomest structures in the county. H. G. Wilshire, lost two greyhounds, one black and one white, while in town on Tuesday afternoon. The finder should return them to the owner. Two horses lost by Mr. Wilshire last week, and which he was about to advertise in these columns, were found yesterday at Norwalk. This shows the efficacy of advertising. W. J. Smith's farm at Orange-thorpe was visited by thieves one night last week and a new plow and rolling cutter, together with the chains and whippletree, were stolen. Mr. Smith has had several horses stolen from his farm in past years, but never before lost any farming implements. He has a pretty well grounded suspicion as to the identity of the thief, and it would not be safe for the fellow to pay another visit to the ranch. Assessor Smythe has appointed J. Landell as deputy to make this year's assessment in Anaheim and vicinity. Assessing began on Monday. Plans for remodeling the Odd Fellows building on West Center have been accepted and work will begin immediately. Eight feet will also be cut from the street end of the building and a new front built as well as a third story added. The cost of the alterations is estimated at $9,000. This building has frontage of 80 feet on Center street. Another new building in the same neighborhood is the Yungbluth block which will soon be under construction. The new building will absorb the old one now occupied by his clothing store. It will also be set back eight feet. Mr. Yungbluth will move his store into the new room and W. M. Martenet's hardware store will move into the west room. The second story will be divided into nine suites of housekeeping apartments. Work on the Fisher block has been in progress more than two weeks. This building has a frontage of 60 feet on Center street and joins walls with the Yungbluth and Odd Fellows buildings. The ground floor will contain three store rooms. The front half of the second and third stories is devoted to office rooms and the rear half to a lodge room. Masons are also at work on the Carroll building on North Los Angeles. This is one story in height and will contain three store rooms. T. J. F. Boege was 79 years old on Monday. On Sunday a family reunion was held at his residence on West Center street, when his children and grandchildren were present to help celebrate the joyous event. Mr. Boege came to Anaheim in 1863 and has been an honored and esteemed citizen ever since. He is still hale and hearty, and his friends who are legion hope that he may have many happy returns of the day. In the last distribution of state school funds the Anaheim high school received $1,822.62, on an enrollment of 221 pupils. The high schools of Orange county received a total of $10,867.18. Construction of nine long gutters to cost over $236,000 was recommended for West Newport, the supplemented by a bulkhead report emphasized the fact that federal interest was involved no expenditure of federal funds was recommended. Question of financing the commended protective measures now faces local leaders. Post formation of an assessment trict to operate with county, and possible WPA assistance been suggested in the past. Salvador Gonzales, 28, of E. Chartres street waited less five weeks from the time of first arrest for drunk driving finding his way into court second charge for the same fense, but it will probably considerably longer before third time. He is in Orange city jail under sentence of days. Gonzales was arrested on January 14 and paid a fine of after pleading guilty. He jailed again Tuesday morning the same charge and City J Frank Tausch pronounced ence of $500 fine or 250 day jail.

Charles Bailer of the Olinda ranch informs us that last week he discovered a colony of Australian lady-bugs on the ranch. He is carefully watching their operations. Geo. V. Horr, secretary of the Savings, Loan and Building association, has a notice in our advertising columns this morning that possesses a great deal of interest to members of the association. Henry Kroeger has recently received a lot of sugar beet seed, which will be set out in several different kinds of soil. Last season's beets demonstrated the fact that this soil is adapted to their growth, and Mr. Kroeger is satisfied that this year's tests will show more sugar in the beets than was polarized last year. Ed Morgan, of the Planters' hotel is taking a lay-off and F. D. Brown, the well known mixologist and surveyor is subbing for him.

Noted Explorer Will Speak Here New Parking Law Faces Court Test Galivan Mountain Again on Main New Series of Fissures Depressions Appear in Travelling Hill Restless Galivan Mountain is on the march. The moving mountain miles north of San Juan O'tranto on Highway 101, has duced another series of floods and depressions. Directly in the path of movement lies the newly constructed Galvan bridge and the Fe Railway tracks. Engineers inspecting the earth mass Saturday feared their action may precipitate slide that will necessitate rebuilding the railway line. As a precautionary measure railroad crew has started paving a new road bed for dividing rail traffic should an emergency arise. In numerous cracks and fences have appeared almost night in the adobe and mountain. Some of the cracks three feet wide and several deep. In some places the ground seems to have been forcedward. At other points sons covering large areas visible. Old settlers have added numerous theories explaining mountain's movement, first observed two year ago. Some say a series of hot springs are constantly bubbling low the surface. Others that a prolific spring once at the foot of the mountain. This spring, pioneers owe was a stopping place around 1870's for wool and walnut. Noted Explorer Will Speak Here Local residents have a treat in store for them on Tuesday evening when Commander A. W. Scott, famous traveler who has circled the globe some 13 times, will speak in the Fremont School auditorium at 7:30 o'clock. Commander Scott, retired from the Royal Naval Air service, has visited practically every country on earth and most of the world's big cities. He had an excellent record with the naval and air forces during the World War. He is still traveling thousands of miles yearly, as a speaker for the Greyhound Lines. The commander scouts up and down the highways and byways of America, searching for the "Unreal Realities" which form the basis of his talks and radio programs. "Unreal Realities," the explains, are true facts so strange that they seem unbelievable. Commander Scott is also a well known radio commentator being featured on the "Romance of the Highways" each Sunday morning over the Mutual-Don Lee network. The program is heard locally over Station KHJ at 10:15 a.m. each Sunday. Names of Seven on List of Newcomers Last week's Chamber of Commerce list of newcomers to Anaheim included the names of seven persons. They are Roy Russell, 316 N. Philadelphia; Joe Gillespie, 109 N. Ohio; Mrs. Willie Kenney, 117 S. Philadelphia; Kenneth P. Warren, 314 S. Helena; Dan Dodge, 113 E. Alberta; Ralph K. Sherman, 321 S. Lemon, and George Carter, 421 S. Lemon street. New Parking Law Faces Court Test Validity of the state law permitting police to attach a parking violation tag on a car in the driver's absence is expected to be definitely determined in a test case just filed in the appellate court in Los Angeles. Sam Bigman, Los Angeles, is the defendant in the appeal prepared by Attorney Henry R. Thomas with the cooperation for the Automobile Club of Southern California and W. Joseph McFarland, assistant city attorney. The present appeal was taken immediately following the decision in an earlier case in which the appeallate court, having ordered the charge dismissed upon other grounds, felt it unnecessary to decide upon the validity of the absentee parking law. The new case is based upon a charge of parking in violation of state rather than city ordinance and should eliminate the issues and result in a definite ruling on the validity of the absentee parking law. Couple Sentenced for Bread Thefts Jack Lopez, 32, and his wife, Annan, 38, of 424 S. Olive street were sentenced to terms of 10 days in jail each when they pleaded guilty Tuesday to a charge of petty theft. The case was heard by City Judge Frank Tausch. The couple were arrested Monday evening after police had been told someone was stealing bread from the rear of the Safeway store on South Lemon street. Officers watched the store, and witnessed Mr. and Mrs. Lopez take some 10 loaves of bread from a box. When you telephone me, I'll see if it's really you! "When you telephone me, I feel as if it's really you!" Many times a day the telephone helps people to be thoughtful—kindly—reassuring. Who would like to hear your voice today? SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TELEPHONE COMPANY 217 North Lemon Street, Telephone Anaheim 2101 SAFETY RULES FOR KITE FLYING ARE GIVEN BY EDISON COMPANY Safety rules for kite flying which will avoid possible dangers for children are pointed out by R. E. Bacon, manager for the Southern California Edison Company Ltd. in this territory. "The Edison company is joining other electric, telephone and street railway companies throughout the country in warning children to keep their kites away from overhead lines," said Bacon. Kites should be flown only in open spaces where there is no likelihood of their coming into contact with electric lines. Care should be exercised in choosing the spot, for it should be remembered that the kite string is at an angle and may pass over lines some distance away. "Children should not pull at a kite which has become entangled in electric lines or make any attempt to remove it. Under no circumstances should they climb a pole and try to bring down the kite. A telephone call to the company to which the wires belong will bring a lineman with proper equipment to take the kite safely from the lines." Construction of the kite should measure up to safety standards also. Metal or metallized cord should never be used. It is dangerous to make kite strings of wire, tinsel cord or any cord with metal strands because such materials are conductors of electricity. It is important also to remember that the kite cord should be kept off the ground if there is possibility of it becoming damp. A wet cord becomes a conductor of electricity when it touches an electric line.

The group will go by Santa Fe Old settlers have advanced numerous theories explaining the mountain's movement, first observed two year ago. Some say a series of hot springs constantly bubbling far below the surface. Others recall that a prolific spring once existed at the foot of the mountain. This spring, pioneers declare, was a stopping place around the 70's for wool and walnut tradies to water their horses en route to Anaheim Landing to dispose of their wares. In construction of the railway bed the spring was submerged under tons of earth. A large reservoir may have formed deep below the surface, it was painted out, accounting for the vastless excursions of the landmark.
