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 June 7, 1917 ANAHEIM CEMETERY A movement is now on foot to rescue the Anaheim cemetery from its present unkept condition, beautify it, and make it a source of pride to the people of the community. Steps are being taken to put it under the perpetual care system, and a meeting of the directors and all interested in the cemetery will be held in the Board of Trade rooms on Saturday, July 7, for the purpose of taking steps toward the consummation of this plan. A new board of directors was chosen at the annual meeting Saturday afternoon. The board is composed of V. U. Simpson, A. G. Langenberger, A. A. Mills, J. C. Cordes and Mrs. J. J. Dwyer. Richard Melrose was engaged as attorney to interpret the law and assist the association in getting the cemetery under the perpetual care law. The Anaheim cemetery was established 60 years ago. Lots are now selling at from $60 to $75 and the sale of lots has been the only source of income of the association. GOOD FARMER Henry Adams is proving that he is a top-notcher as a farmer, as well as a lumber dealer, and the 50 Years Ago June 9, 1942 TRUSTEES MET The Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Present, Chairman Witte, and Trustees Schindler, Rust, Littlefield and Pellegrin. The Committee on Public Improvements reported progress on city well, which is now down something like 104 feet deep, in a clay formation, and going-deeper until a satisfactory strata should be reached also reported work on cleaning streets. A communication was received from Herr O'Kraffke, superintendent of the electric (?) light system, which no one could decipher. The reporter made it out to read that Herr O'Kraffke tendered the board an invitation to be his guests at a picnic to be held at Anaheim Landing on July 4th. AT RANCH HOME Madame Helena Modjeska is now at her ranch in the Santiago canyon for the summer with her husband, Count Bozenta. She does not look her age, which is dangerously near 50, and the marvel of her youthful demeanor and ripe beauty is that she has been a hard-working actress for more than thirty years.

GOOD FARMER Henry Adams is proving that he is a top-notcher as a farmer, as well as a lumber dealer, and the back yard of his home at Broadway and Claudina furnishes conclusive evidence of the methods of combatting the high cost of living. Henry is raising a fine lot of vegetables, including string beans, tomatoes, onions, carrots, okra, rhubarb, radishes and melons, and in the parking if his sidewalk has a fine crop of new potatoes. He is regaling his neighbors with samples of vegetables which are delicious. With onions selling at 17 cents a pound and potatoes sky-rocketing in price, his garden is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. MASON THEATRE Earl Abbey and Joe Collings have assumed charge of the Mason theatre and will have an opening performance on Saturday night, June 9th. NEW BUILDING The new building on East Center street built by Stephen Kistler is now completed and ready for occupancy. The Knights of Columbus have their club rooms on the top floor fitted up in fine style. JOINS NAVY A. L. Winney, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Winney, has joined the navy in the hospital service and left for San Francisco the first of the week to begin his course of training.

Backs as hostesses. AT RANCH HOME Madame Helena Modjeska is now at her ranch in the Santiago canyon for the summer with her husband, Count Bozenta. She does not look her age, which is dangerously near 50, and the marvel of her youthful demeanor and ripe beauty is that she has been a hard-working actress for more than thirty years. No woman on our stage, which she has graced and elevated during a period of fifteen years—has passed through anything like her experiences. At 18 she was the bride of G. S. Modjeska, at 22 a widow, and at 26 again a wife, with Count Charles Bozenta Chlapovsky as her husband, today, a rich woman, through once an improverished Polish exile. In Modjeska's company the best actors of the day have played. Robert Bruce Mantel was in her support fourteen years ago, before he had acquired note in this country. As her leading man Maurice Blythe Barrymore has won success, and in Edward H. Vanderfelt, in the eratic Frank Clement, in rising Wilton Morris, and a dozen others, she has had actors who owe much to her inspiration and example.
