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 November 14, 1918 Monday was the greatest day the United States ever saw. The people from Eastport to San Diego and from Duluth to Brownsville were deliriously happy and gave unrestrained expression to their joy. News that the armistice had been signed by German plenipotentiaries was flashed throughout the contry during the night. Here on the Pacific Coast the news came at 3 o'clock in the morning and was announced to the inhabitants by whistles and bells. People rose from their beds and went forth to increase the tumult. In Anaheim the siren began to blast at 5 o'clock and there was no more sleep. Bells began to ring, whistles to shriek, guns to roar, while exuberant citizens began rushing to and fro in their autos, and added to the noise. No arrangements had been made in advance for a celebration, but a parade was announced for the afternoon, and everybody constituted himself a committee of one to help make it a success. The merchants all closed at 12 o'clock everybody devoted the entire afternoon to celebrating. Pandemonium broke loose in the afternoon. Everybody in the northern part of the county accompanied by his sisters his cousins and his aunts came to help swell the multitude that thronged the streets. It was a good natured, 50 Years Ago Nov. 16, 1898 The Orange County Chamber of Commerce is taking some interest in the building of the co-operative sugar factory, and it is reported that the Santa Ana banks will take quite a considerable amount of bonds to be floated locally. Judge Marks and E. P. Fowler addressed a meeting of the Chamber at Santa Ana last week and proposed that the city aid the company by buying bonds in the amount of fifty thousand dollars. If that could be done work on the factory would begin immediately. The chamber referred the matter to a committee. The Building and Loan Association negotiated a loan of $2,000 to N. Hart at their meeting on Saturday evening. Mr. Hart will immediately begin the erection of two brick stores adjoining his building east of the postoffice. The seventeenth session of the California State Fruit Growers' convention will be opened in Los Angeles Tuesday next and will continue until Friday. Mr. Reiser has begun an action against Messrs. James and Mabury of the suspended Bank of Anaheim, to recover money belonging to the irrigation district, on deposit at the time of the suspension.

Prichard of Route 3, Am He was an employee of Field, Honolulu for the past years. He was stricken pneumonia several weeks after he was a graduate of the heim Union High school. He was in Honolulu. He is survived by his wife and one sister, Mrs. Harold inson of Anaheim and Captain Harry Prichard. but a parade was announced for the afternoon, and everybody constituted himself a committee of one to help make it a success. The merchants all closed at 12 o'clock everybody devoted the entire afternoon to celebrating. Pandemonium broke loose in the afternoon. Everybody in the northern part of the county accompanied by his sisters his cousins and his aunts came to help swell the multitude that thronged the streets. It was a good natured, joyous, happy, hilarious, delirious crowd and nobody cared a darn if the air was teeming with flu germs. Notwithstanding the short notice there was a parade-hastily assembled but very creditable. The procession was only a mile long, but if all the gaily decorated and placarded autos in town had joined it would have reached from Capistrano to Yorba Linda. The Anaheim band was in the lead, but nobody could hear what they were playing. The fire siren never made so much noise as it did that day. It started at 2:30 and never let up until the exhausted populace had gone home. All the other whistles and bells joined in the din, Fullerton came over with the home guard, the high school cadets and a number of busses filled with pretty girls. In the mean time Capt. Alex Henry and Lieut. George Meyer were shooting holes in the atmosphere down at the corner of Center and Lemon streets with Uncle Alex's cannon which he had constructed especially for the occasion. The last shot of the war was fired at 11 o'clock on the 11th day of the 11th month. President Wilson has proclaimed the 11th of November a perpetual holiday. During the height of the jubilee outbursts and continual 'din of every improvised thing capable of producing noise on Monday when everybody was swatting the Kaiser, the cleartoned fire bell, which for years hung silent in the belfry over the old city hall, and which had been taken down and placed upon a truck, and put in the parade, was given first place as a clamor contrivance. The bell was suspended from a pedestal, a rope tied to the tongue, and with a husky young man at either end—the way they labored to make the old bell talk was a caution. The old bell taps were ever at the peak of the pack of jubilations and rivaled Cap. Henry's 'lil cannon as a noise producer. The seventeenth session of the California State Fruit Growers' convention will be opened in Los Angeles Tuesday next and will continue until Friday. Mr. Reiser has begun an action against Messrs. James and Maury of the suspended Bank of Anaheim, to recover money belonging to the irrigation district, on deposit at the time of the suspension. Mr. Capitain has examined the condition of Music Hall and pronounces the building absolutely safe, the recent reports about its unsafe condition being altogether unfounded. McWilliams and Porter had made their arrangements to begin erection of N. Hart's new brick building on the corner of Center and Hermine streets, when they were confronted with a brick famine and were forced to temporarily suspend operations. No bricks can be procured here, the Schindler kiln being tied up with the Koenig attachment. None are to be had at Santa Ana, and the nearest are at Inglewood above Los Angeles. In this dilemma efforts are being made to effect the release of a sufficient number of brick from Schindler's yard to begin operations. The Santa Ana postoffice is to be moved from its present quarters in the Spurgeon block, where it has been for years past. A telegram was received on Tuesday from Frank H. Jones, First Assistant Postmaster General at Washington notifying C. E. French that his proposition for the location of the postoffice in the opera-house block had been accepted. The new office must be ready for use January 1st, 1894. Regimental orders have been received by Capt. Halpin appointing Edward Boege, Edward Henderson and William McFadden to be corporals in Company G. There will be a choral service at the Episcopal church this evening at half-past seven.

Suddenly out of the darkness a Jap gunboat loomed. It rushed straight for the sub. Comdr. Gilmore, on deck with other members of the crew, evaded the onrushing gunboat, then rammed it, ripping a gaping hole in its hull. As the Jap began to settle they opened fire. "Clear the bridgel" ordered Gilmore. Men poured into the conning tower. Just before it was Gilmore's turn he was struck with a hail of lead. Crew members rushed to his side and sought to carry him below. But as delay would cost lives, Gilmore ordered all hands below. In his final living moments he gave his last order, "Take her down"—an order which will live forever in U. S. naval history with John Paul Jones' "I have just begun to fight." The crew obeyed. The sub crash-dived. The waves washed over Comdr. Gilmore. Days later the sub arrived safely in port. Keep 'Em Flying — Buy War Bonds and Stamps! Heying's Pharmacy THE REXALL STORE 101 W.

Foursome Of Brides Given Shower By Co-Workers Four recent brides, all employees of the Southern California Telephone company, were guests of honor at a potluck dinner and made Americans more conscious of their millions of suffering brothers in all parts of the world," Rev. Berg said, in commenting further on Men and Missions Sunday. "The Christion church has been world-minded for many years. As a result, American sailors who have crashed or been shipwrecked in the Pacific have sometimes found fuzzy-haired natives who have fed and nursed them back to health instead of cooking and eating them as might have been the case fifty years earlier." Chairman of the Laymen's Missionary Movement for Anaheim in discussing Men and Missions Sunday said, "Many uninformed persons believe that missions have become another casualty of the war. "But this is not the case," he continued. "Actually hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent for the relief of 'orphaned' missions in all parts of the world. 'Men and Missions Sunday,' first observed in 1931, now offers a tremendous opportunity for stressing missions as the inescapable task of every Christian man and as the hope for enduring future peace." The local observance of Men and Missions Sunday, November 14, is being promoted by the Anaheim Ministerial Association, Rev. Earl R. Berg, President, assisted by a loyal corps of laymen in the various churches of the city. In addition to observances in most local churches, there will be special services at military and naval units of the United States and Canada in all parts of the world. "The impact of war news has Rev. Berg said, in commenting further on Men and Missions Sunday. "The Christion church has been world-minded for many years. As a result, American sailors who have crashed or been shipwrecked in the Pacific have sometimes found fuzzy-haired natives who have fed and nursed them back to health instead of cooking and eating them as might have been the case fifty years earlier."
