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 July 26, 1917 U. S. CONSCRIPTION All men in the United States between the ages of 21 and 31 were drawn in the conscription for war which began at Washington at 9:45 o'clock Friday and ended Saturday. There were 9,500,000 of them, including native born foreign born, citizens and aliens, and from this list will be selected the vast army that is to carry the flag into Europe and help discipline the Kaiser. The examining physician for this district is Dr. A. K. Jones of Los Angeles and the exemption board is composed of C. C. Chapman, Richard Melrose, and Dr. Geo. C. Clark. The board will hold sessions at the office of City Attorney Marks of Fullerton. The first name drawn in Anaheim was Markens Vaiga of West Anaheim, the second was A. E. Rhome of Brea, next was C. C. Mathews, A. B. Rangel, Ed Schneider, Roy Charlston, H. G. Mayer, M. A. Garton, P. Gaxiola, Chillie Fisher, Howard Krause, Joe Collings, William Vetter and Ray Hale of Fullerton. Orange county's full quota is 553, but more than 200 have volunteered which leaves about 320 to be supplied. CHURCH SERVICE Rev. Father Joseph Truxaw of San Francisco, brother of Dr. Truxaw of this city, who was recently ordained a priest in the 50 Years Ago July 28, 1892 SUGAR REFINERY A meeting of citizens of this city was held at Kroeger's hall on Tuesday evening to consider what steps are yet necessary to be taken in order to secure the establishment of the sugar refinery here. Coroner Ey was elected chairman and Mr. Chynowith secretary. Remarks were made by Adolph Rimpau, F. Conrad, Gen. Pierce, Mr. Needham and others, after which the lists were opened and a hundred shares taken. A committee consisting of C. Schindler, L. F. Lewis, John Everhardy, Frank Ey and Ed Pellegrin was appointed to solicit subscriptions, to stock. Another meeting will be held at the same place Saturday evening at 8 o'clock, when the committee will make its report. ARTESIAN WELL R. L. Cooke, the well borer, began putting down an artesian well Monday for Alex Henry on his place west of town. Mr. Henry informs us he will go down a thousand feet if necessary to get a good flow. Mr. Cooke is an experienced well borer and has an excellent set of tools so it is extremely probable that a very fine well will be added to the list of splendid flowing wells in this vicinity. HOME SITE A. D. Porter has purchased two and a half acres on the corner of Los Angeles and North streets of Church Services. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The lesson-sermon subject in Churches of Christ, Scientist Sunday will be "Truth." Golden Text is from Paul's Letter to the Hebrews: "The Word of God is quick and powerful, and shattering than any two-edged sword, pounding even to the dividing asund soul and spirit, and of the jungle marrow, and is a discernment the thoughts and intent of heart." CHURCH SERVICE Rev. Father Joseph Truxaw of San Francisco, brother of Dr. Truxaw of this city, who was recently ordained a priest in the diocese of Monterey and Los Angeles will conduct the 9 o'clock mass at St. Boniface church on next Sunday morning, following which he will deliver a sermon. This is Father Truxaw's first visit to this city and a large attendance will probably be present to hear him preach. He is a man of fine educational attainments and a public speaker of more than usual ability. EIGHTY-FIVE YEARS On the occasion of the 85th anniversary of her birth, Mrs. Mary O. Kellogg was given a surprise party Tuesday by her daughter, Mrs. S. Michelson and her granddaughter, Miss Lilly Dunlap. A number of intimate friends enjoyed the occasion and extended congratulations to the honored lady. JULY RAIN About a quarter past two Sunday afternoon it rained here—it wasn't a downpour or anything like that—but large drops of moisture fell for a few seconds. The weather was sultry and when the sun shown brightly old timers said it was hot. TONIGHT'S SHOW Lionel Barrymore will appear on the screen at the Mason tonight in "His Father's Son," and Friday night only the beautiful Clara Kimball Young will be seen in "The Common Law." Kolb and Dill will be seen Saturday in "Three Pals." VISIT CAMP J. H. Brunworth, wife and son Raymond, Mrs. Amy Wisser and Henry Kroeger sr. went down to San Diego Sunday.

Champlin and has begun the erection of a neat cottage on the place facing North street. The amount paid for the land was $700. CHURCH FAIR The ladies of the Catholic church contemplate giving a fair in the near future which will be one of the events of the season. Already active steps are being taken to make it an artistic and financial success, in which the ladies are being assisted by the good people of this city. IMPROVE RESIDENCE Henry Albrecht has made a very noticeable improvement at his residence on Center street, near the Southern Pacific depot. The tall cypress hedge that formed his front-yard fence and which hid his house from street view has been thinned out and the trees trimmed. A neat picked fence now encloses the yard allowing the sidewalk to pass between the trees and the fence. Mr. Albrecht has a very pretty place which is much improved by present arrangement. BREAK IN CAJON DITCH A break occurred in the Cajon ditch above the Yorba's residence on Monday afternoon and for a time deluged the immediate vicinity. The water was shut off at the headgate and turned into the lower ditch supplying the Anaheim irrigators. There was more water in the Anaheim ditches on Monday night and Tuesday than for a long time, and irrigation was carried on on all sides. The break was fixed on Tuesday afternoon, and the run in the Cajon ditch taken on again. KILLED SHARK Richard Krebs and William Fischer killed a six-foot shark at the Landing on Sunday. It was not of the man-eating variety, however, and the supply of young gentlemen at the beach will be as large as ever. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The lesson-sermon subject in Churches of Christ, Scientific Sunday will be "Truth." Golden Text is from Paul's Letter to the Hebrews: "The Word of God is quick and powerful, and sharp than any two-edged sword, putting even to the dividing assuade soul and spirit, and of the joy and marrow, and is a discernment the thoughts and intent of heart."

GRUBBING TREES Gustave Davis has been engaged during the week in grubbing out the orange trees on his home place on Lemon street. These trees are among the oldest in the State, having attained the age of thirty-five years.

THREE CHEERS FOR THE BARGAIN HUNTER! Budget-stretching is a fine art...and one that we all must learn. It is vital to "Thrift and Savings for Victory." One way to stretch budgets is to select the things that will give us the longest service so replacements can be put off as long as possible. Even in blackouts, the railroad has to run During a blackout, all lights that show must be extinguished. Automobiles must pull over to the curb and extinguish their lights. But a railroad can't extinguish its lights. The vital flow of war materials must proceed even during blackouts, and lights are absolutely necessary for the night operation of a railroad. You may be interested to know that all headlights, marker lights, block signal lights and crossing signal lights on our Pacific Coast lines are now shielded with blackout hoods. We made more than 17,000 of these hoods and installed them ourselves, most of them within a few weeks after Pearl Harbor. It's just another example of how a railroad goes about its job without fuss or fanfare — on duty 24 hours a day. The War Bonds you buy now will come in handy when your children go to college.

Vaya con Dios It is almost with regret that we see the passing of the CCC, even though the need for this great conservation program for the nation's youth no longer exists. But back in 1933 when President Roosevelt first presented his plan for establishing a Civilian Conservation Corps, unemployment was at an all time high here in the United States, and youths arriving at the working age had literally nothing to do. The CCC started as an experiment, but it became a major factor in the saving of young men from the devious path that leads to crime. If President Roosevelt had not been delegated to go down in the pages of history as this nation's War President; if he had not earned a special place as the first American president for whom the unwritten rule of "no third term" was broken, his name would have blazed forever as the president who established the Three C's, and conserved the nation's greatest asset, its youth. Through these CCC camps, thousands of boys gained their first real knowledge of the great outdoors. They learned forestry and other valuable crafts; they built up splendid physiques and keen mentalities. This has been proven by the untold thousands of them now serving with distinction in the armed services of their country. California has special reason to be grateful for CCC help. Here where a forest preserve is composed of thousands of acres of chaparral, every bit as valuable on watersheds as the tallest of timber, the lads of the Conservation Corps have saved valuable property. They have worked valiantly amidst great forest trees as well. They have been on call in any emergency that has arisen. But no matter what money value might be placed on property they have preserved for posterity, it is little in Following the meeting, the camp committee and women's board met to make further plans for the coming camp. The group selected "The Stars" as camp theme. Ways and means to find help for 14 girls who wish to go to camp were considered. It was decided to collect used phonograph records to salvage shellac for the government. All Anaheim people are urged to call the YMCA house, 4204, or Mrs. Hodges, 3156, if they wish to donate old records to the cause. They will be collected by YWCA members and money gained will be used to send girls to Osceola. The board and committee will meet again tonight at 7:30 o'clock at the home of Charlotte Hodges, new camp chairman, to plan the opening afternoon at camp, the camp-fire and initiation, it was announced. Members of the women's board are Mrs. Walter Ward, Mrs. Walter Taylor, Mrs. Harry Burden, and Mrs. Cassie Wethered. It was necessary to clear identifications and get necessary permits from the coast guard at Balboa before making the trip. Albacore are what the "Ikes" are after and they are reported to be running freely—the albacore, that is. HIGH WATER LEVEL Water levels in Anaheim city wells stand at 122 feet according to report made by V. W. Hannum, superintendent of Municipal Light and Water company, at a recent session of the city council. This is a good average, standing two inches higher than at the corresponding date last year. None too much of the city water had to be used for quenching fires, according to Fire Chief Rudolph Nyboe. Only four fires were reported during the past month, with a dmage of but $50.
