In The Days Of Long Ago Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter 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. 25 Years Ago March 22, 1917 AMERICAN VESSELS SUNK Carrying out instructions to sink ships of all nations crossing the line encircling Great Britain which Germany had drawn as the boundary of its war zone, submarines on Sunday morning sank three American vessels without warning. Two of them were sailing for home ports under ballast carrying no cargo. They were the City of Memphis, from Cardiff to New York, 5,250 ton capacity, and the Illinois from London to Port Arthur, Texas. The size not given. These vessels were both sunk by gun fire from the U-boats. The third vessel was the Vigilancia from New York to an English port. This ship was valued at $1,000,000 and it carried a cargo of provisions worth $750,000. It was torpedoed near Land's End by a submarine. Six officers and twenty-three men from this vessel reached the Scilly Islands, but fifteen members of the crew were drowned. (History is repeating itself—The above item might be dated 1942 instead of 1917—Ed.) CITIZEN DIIES Erwin Baylia, one of the prominent citizens of the north end of 50 Years Ago March 17, 1892 TRUSTEES MEET The City Trustees met in special session Tuesday afternoon and drew up the contract for the erection of the City hall. Tomorrow they will meet again for the purpose of signing the same with Contractor Albrecht, when work upon the building will begin immediately. The hall is to be completed inside of ninety days. FOG PREVALENT The oldest inhabitant says he cannot remember the time when we had such fogs as have prevailed during the week. Every night has been foggy and the fog does not lift until 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning, and some days not at all. These fogs do no particular harm and in the absence of rain are just the thing for the growing crops. SON ARRIVES Ralph Modjeska, son of Madame Modjeska, accompanied by his wife and son, arrived in town from Chicago Sunday and are guests of Mr. and Mrs. Langenberger. This morning they leave for the Modjeska ranch in Santiago canyon, where they will remain for some time. Madame Modjeska CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH Paul's words to the Corinthians: "The Fashion of this world passes away," constitute the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon or "Matter" on Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. A Scriptural citation includes these passages from Ecclesiastes: "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all in vanity... I made me great works; I builted me houses; I planted my vineyards: . . . I gathered me' also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: . . . And whatsoever mines eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: . . . Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun." And from the Psalms: "But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations." A selection from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy states: A God Himself is good and is Spirit goodness and spirituality must be immortal. Their opposites, evil and matter, are mortal error, and error has no creator. If goodness and spiritually are real, evil and materiality are unreal and cannot be the outcome of an infinite Good." The realm of the real in Spirit." The War Relief committee of the First Church of Christ, Science list of Anaheim, will hold a display of its activities at 500 East Center street today, tomorrow and Saturday from 1 o'clock until 4 in the afternoon.

America says "keep 'em flying." But to keep 'em flying we must keep 'em rolling—on the rails. Materials, thousands of carloads, for planes, tanks and guns must be rushed to production and assembly plants. Completed armament also must be transported. Union Pacific is powered to do the job. Twenty "Big Boys," largest steam locomotives ever built, have recently been added to the large fleet of other super-powered rail giants placed in service during the past five years. Millions of dollars also have been invested in freight cars, new rails and property improvements. For defense as well as industry's normal needs, Union Pacific—the Strategic Middle Route connecting East with West—supplies the demand for dependable transportation. For Complete Information R. A.
