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 14, 1917 CHAIRMAN APPOINTED A letter received by District Attorney L. A. West, Secretary of the Orange County Council of Defense, from Mrs. Bertha L. Cable, chairman of the California Woman's Committee of the Councils of National State Defense, states that Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana has been appointed temporary chairman for Orange county. The letter asks that steps be taken here to form a permanent county organization for women to carry on defense work. BURGLARS AGAIN Burglars again operated in Anaheim Friday evening. The residence of W. G. Osborn in South street was entered Friday evening while the family was absent and some small change and a quantity of jewelry was taken. Entrance was gained through a bath room window. DRUG STORE ROBBED The Heying drug store was entered some time Saturday night by thieves and a quantity of narcotics were taken, among which were opium and cocaine. Entrance was made through a transom over the church. 50 Years Ago June 16, 1892 GRADUATING EXERCISES The graduating exercises of the pupils of the Anaheim Grammar school, which took place at the Opera House last Saturday evening was attended by one of the largest audiences that ever assembled in the hall.

CLOCK TOWER The clock tower on the new City hall is about completed and makes a conspicuous ornament to that edifice. The building will soon be ready for occupancy. The clock will be a great public convenience, ringing out as it will the hours and quarter hours—as was its want when in the tower above Luedke's jewelry store. Since it DRUG STORE ROBBED The Heying drug store was entered some time Saturday night by thieves and a quantity of narcotics were taken, among which were opium and cocaine. Entrance was made through a transom over the back door. Nothing but the opiates was taken and it is believed the thief was an addict of the drug.

PRODUCE SHIPPED Large quantities of potatoes and cabbage are being shipped out from the West Anaheim station. During the past three weeks from two to five carloads of cabbage have gone out daily and about the same quantity of potatoes have been shipped. Cabbage has been bringing $40 per ton, while good potatoes are quoted at 3 cents in carload lots. All the shipments have been consigned to Eastern points. It is reasonable to suppose that similar quantities of these products are being shipped from many other sections in the county.

Mr. Schumacher was in town Monday receiving the congratulations of his numerous friends. EUCHRE CLUB Mrs. Finney entertained the Ladies Euchre club on Thursday afternoon. A very pleasant time CLOCK TOWER The clock tower on the new City hall is about completed and makes a conspicuous ornament to that edifice. The building will soon be ready for occupancy. The clock will be a great public convenience, ringing out as it will the hours and quarter hours—as was its want when in the tower above Luedke's jewelry store. Since it ceased telling us all the time of day, its absence has grown into nothing short of a public nuisance. But it will soon be with us again. ENJOYABLE PARTY Mrs. Strodthoff gave an enjoyable party at her residence on Monday evening in honor of the graduation of her son, Gussie.

RIST, SCIENTIST The great task now confronting liberated America is to aid in working out the freedom of the whole world from slavery, the Christian Science Board of Directors told several thousand Christians Scientists gathered in annual meeting in Boston Monday. The directors also announced the election of Mrs. Elisabeth F. Norwood of Brookline, Mass., as president of the Mother Church at the ensuing year. As presiding officer at the annual meeting, she praised world conditions in the heart of another Red Sea of human rubbits and fears through whichankind must be guided to higher spiritual ground by the power of divine intelligence. John Randall Dunn, retiring president, also referred to the ones as an opportunity to prove that "the healing Christ is here," and that the light of Truth not only banishes the darkness of disease and sin, but can nullify all hypnotic suggestions of the mental mind, which seem to be marking such mischief among the masses of men." The Board found that the establishment of Christian Science some countries was being limited by the dictators, that someurches and institutions were being regimes, prior to his appointment as Auditor. Eckel has been a property owner in Orange county for twenty years. He is married and has a 10 year old son. In making his announcement, Eckel said today: "I realize that, in the present world crisis, the paramount interest of every good American Citizen is in winning the War, protecting his home and community, and doing justice to his particular job. With them the election is a secondary consideration, Efficiency and economy is mandatory on the "home front" to achieve the objective which now faces us. The office of County Auditor is considered one of supreme importance to the tax-paying citizens of the county. One of its functions is not only the auditing of County School and Special District bills presented for payment as to accuracy of computation, but to properly and intelligently check the authorization, budget provision, the legality, and all necessary details connected with such expenditures which annually run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. He also, in accordance with the provisions and time limits of State Law, totals assessed valuations, computes and apportions taxes to the purposes for which they are levied. He compiles, publishes, and assists in the control of Budgets. He collects and apports delinquent taxes under constantly changing Laws on installment payments and penalties. Having served during the past twenty years in the County Auditor's office continuously (as Chief Deputy and Auditor) I have had the advantage of becoming entirely familiar with the duties and problems with which a County Auditor is daily confronted in the handling of the tax-payer's money. The experience thus gained cannot be over-estimated with respect to properly qualifying for this responsible position. Upon the basis of my many years of actual experience in the office; upon my record of steadfastly adhering to the position of safeguarding the taxpayer's interests in every way possible, I speak the public's most serious consideration of my candidacy to succeed myself as County Auditor."
