Kuchel Editors and Publishers Jake Proctor, City Editor The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Phone 2206-2207 Subscription Per Year, $2.00; 2 Years $3.50; 6 Months $1.25 Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. Anaheim, located in the richest spot on earth, "In the Heart of the Valencia Orange District," is widely known for its beautiful parks, fine schools and churches, and for its other civic improvements and the stability of its citizenship and its business institutions. When you plan your future home of contentment, the one-stop answer is Anaheim! We Rise to Remark by JAKE PROCTOR (Continued From Page 1) be reclaimed by bringing water to it. If we would let science and ener or not we start on a nationwide construction program, which is already in the plans. Some of it was planned before the war. President Roosevelt was talking of super-highways up and down and across the country, and other similar projects when the war diverted sensible things. We pulled ourselves out of the depression with construction projects. We wasted time and money in that program because we were caught with our pants down and no definite plans on the trestle board. The builders and engineers are taking time by the forelock and be reclaimed by bringing water to it. If we would let science and engineering do it they could purify and transport enough ocean water to irrigate the whole country, if necessary. We wouldn't have to consider the cost of such a project, if we could get away from our false conception of "costs." However, just at this time there is plenty of land to go around without reclaiming the barren wastes. We haven't scratched the surface of this country yet, when you compare the size and population of the United States with the European nations, or the Japanese empire. We have so much land we don't know what to do with it. For instance, every man, woman and child in the United States could move into the state of Texas and each family could have a homesite, and there would still be plenty of land left for public parks and playgrounds. If they all engaged in industry they could all make a living there, if there was an outside market for their products. And still we complain the country is getting too crowded and clamor for more frontiers to be settled and conquered. There's an unconquered frontier every mile across this vast country. I would like to add a double endorsement to the following squib by Art McBride in the La Habra Star: "I think that somewhere in the depths of the list of very bad mannered people will be found those who insist on playing a juke box in an eating establishment without regard to folks who would like to carry on conversation while they eat. Or even if they don't. The guy who wants to drop a few nickels in the marble machine disturbs nobody, but when he has to amuse himself by blasting everybody's ears with a mess of barny tin-can noises he becomes a public nuisance." Almost everybody is making more money now than they ever made before in their lives, either from business or salaries. Extra taxes and various "deducts" take some of it away, but on the aver- Consistency doesn't seem to mean anything in a political campaign, the worst travesty she has suffered being when Governor Dewey made his big speech at Oklahoma City. One of the main theme's of his speech was the "tired old men in Washington," and the "tired administration." Ironically enough he was introduced by 75-year-old multi-millionaire U.S. Senator E. H. Moore who defeated young Senator Josh Lee three years ago. Senator Lee was about the age Dewey is now and considerably more of a human dynamo. He had six years experience in the senate to his credit and was among the outstanding young statesmen of the nation. E. H. Moore was 72 years old and a former Democrat. His only qualification for being a senator was that he had made $17-million in the oil business and had switched to the Republican party. I wonder if he might have flinched a little under Dewey's sarcastic reference to "tired old men in Washington." Quite a few people are worrying Almost everybody is making more money now than they ever made before in their lives, either from business or salaries. Extra taxes and various "deducts" take some of it away, but on the average almost everybody has more than they ever had before, including those who are kicking the hardest because they can't make even more. The New Deal and the war together practically broke me because those I depended upon for business were all getting rich without having to buy what I had to sell. Going back into the salary bracket I make the same salary I made 15 years ago, but by the time my war donation tax and other "deducts" come out I have $10 a week less for myself than I had then. Under those circumstances I might be entitled to kick because everybody else is doing better, comparatively, than I am. However, I don't take that view of the situation. I am glad everybody else is making more money and I can recognize that we have gone a long way toward betterment for most of the people. What happens to me, or any individual, is of little consequence if the general trend is toward betterment for the majority. Evolution is a slow process, but apparently we are on the way up. Outside of wartime there never is much prosperity except when there is plenty of construction work going on. Construction means highways, homes, private and public buildings, harbor installations, power dams, and formerly railroads, in the future doubletracking of rail lines as advocated many years ago by Arthur Brisbane, etc., etc. Post-war prosperity will depend on wheth- Every Thursday Night NATIONAL EDITORIAL HOUR and JACK REGAN KVOE (1490) 8:00 P.M. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued a Half Century and a quarter Century 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 November 20—1919 There $5,000 per acre was paid orange land in the neighborhood of Anaheim it was supposed limit had been reached, but supposition was incorrect. J. Zatzfeld sold ten acres north of town a couple of weeks for $50,000 and now it is reed a neighboring ranch can hold for $6,000 per acre. We also told that E. J. Hartung refused an offer of $6,000 per for the twenty-acre ranch on Dlin road. Mr. Hartung paid 100 an acre for the ranch some years ago. The Anaheim Orange Growers Association has purchased a site at crossing of the S. P. railroad Lincoln avenue, west of town will shortly begin the erection new packing house.

Mrs. Jennie Kraemer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Kraemer died at Banning on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at the age of 18 years. For two years she had been an invalid and it was hoped the dry climate of the desert country would afford relief. Her untimely death is mourned by all. O. E. Steward took the oath of office this week and now is installed as city manager. 50 Years Ago November 22—1894 The Board of City Trustees met in special session on Tuesday for the purpose of receiving bids for the purchase of the electric light bonds in the amount of $7,000. The following bids were received: Hellman and Partori of Los Angeles wrote that they would take the bonds at par and accrued interest, provided a commission of $850 was allowed them. Mrs. Luedke offered to take the bonds at par and $100 premium. Mrs. L. Browning offered to take them at par. The bid of Mrs. Luedke was accepted. The Finance Committee was ordered to have the bonds printed. The plant will be constructed as soon as possible and our city with its electric lights and other improvements constantly being made will be one of the most progressive buildings will occupy the vacant lot between the present Hartman building and the Gazette office and will extend back to the alley. Sarah J. Ayrault Passes Away at Home in Cypress Sarah Jane Ayrault, 86 years old, passed away at her home on 207 Sprague Avenue, Cypress, early last Friday after a brief illness.

Mr. Reiser was one of the pioneers of Anaheim. His long life here is one worthy of emulation. He was for years the chairman of the Board of City Trustees and was ever active in the support of measures calculated to be of benefit to the municipality. He engaged actively in the manufacture of wines, until the blight devastated the vineyards. The deceased was a Royal Arch Mason and Knight Templar Mason, was past master of the local Mason's lodge. Mr. Reiser was born in the city of Lahr, Baden, Germany, Sept. 7, 1829. He came to New York at the age of nineteen. In 1854 he came to San Francisco by steamer. He came to Anaheim in 1860 and at once built his brick home at a cost of $6,000, which is still an ornament to the place. He made the first wine and distilled the first brandy ever made in Anaheim. He contributed liberally to the building of the new hotel Del Campo which cost $40,000. He also built Music Hall on Center and Olive Streets. Mr. Reiser was married in 1857 in San Francisco to Miss Adelhert Thiele, who survives him. The gentlemen who board at Mrs. Minor's were regaled with an oyster supper one evening this week at the expense of Phil. A. Stanton, being in payment of an election bet he made with Mr. Goldwater. Mr. Stanton bets hats occasionally, and lost one the last election, and following the excellent example set by himself in the oyster supper, he ought to plunge. Mrs. Herrick has left the Del Campo and moved into the Cottage until recently occupied by Capt. Halpin. The Captain has moved to Mrs. Wallop's. The mornings have been unusually damp and foggy. Yesterday the sun was obscured during the entire day. The weather prophets tell us to look for rain. Messrs. Sampson Edwards of Westminster and John Avas and J. L. Forbes of Santa Ana were in town Tuesday looking over the books of the city officials in their capacity as the committee of the Grand Jury appointed for that purpose. After finding everything all right they returned to Santa Ana. Flags in town yesterday were at half mast in commemoration of the death of Mr. Reiser.

Misses Lucana and Ysidora Forster, the charming daughters of Don Marcos Forster of San Juan Capistrano, were guests during the week of Misses Sophie and Marie Rimpau, and departed for their home on Monday. The young ladies will be pleasurably remembered by the editors of the southern California Editorial association who were guests of Don Marcos Forster and Alcalde Egan at Capistrano on the occasion of their excursion there a couple of years ago. Mrs. Olga Zeus, who has been quite seriously ill for some weeks past, has recovered sufficiently, we are pleased to say, to be able to be at her post of duty in the bank again. Election returns for Congress have reached the stage when the actual result of the revolution is expressed by the fact that a Democratic majority of eighty was converted into a Republican majority of 150. The Democrats will have eleven members of the next house from all the northern states combined. In the entire extent of the United States, north of New York City, comprising 1,000,000 square miles and 22,000,000 people, not a single Democratic representative has been elected. That is a degree of solidity unexampled in our political history.
