The trek of the 49'ers... braving untold hardships and unknown dangers, through unmapped regions and poorly-charted waters, they came. Facing hostile savages and scarcely more merciful elements, across parched and arid plains and desert, and through frigid, treacherous mountains... "around the horn" in frail wooden vessels, or afoot through the swamps and jungles of the isthmus on the south... headlong pell-mell... maddened and spurred on by visions of vast and easy wealth, ever westward en State. Now, nearly a century after Marshall's momentous discovery, California has become one of the greatest states in the nation. Her fields and factories are highly productive; her mines and forests still give abundantly of their vast wealth; her people, now more than nine million, are prosperous. Even more than in '49, California, today, is truly The Golden State.

IN THE DAY FEBRUARY 4, 1871 We call the attention of people and to those living aboard the excellent advantages of village of Santa Ana as a place of residence. It is one of few live and rising towns of county, that manifestly has important future before it. Principal citizens there who live the growth and prosperity of county at heart, are determined to offer every reasonable interest to settlers and businessmen. Lots are now selling from $20 to $40 and others be given away where improvements are made. Already houses have been erected in town. On Tuesday last Mr. A.

Weed, however, being too short of the shot, and when fired, the gun burst and tore the muscles and part of the bone of the thumb on his left hand the same time filling the wrist with shot. Dr. Taylor was called to dress the wound. Two 80-acre lots in section adjacent to the city extension the west and owned by Mr. C.

NEWPORT MAY VOTE A special election at Newport Beach to determine whether the city shall join the Metropolitan Water district seems certain, with filing with the city engineer of petitions circulated by the chamber of commerce. Signatures of more than the necessary 10 per cent of voters at the last election are on the petitions, it is said. After the signatures are checked, the petitions will go to the Coastal Municipal Water district, possibly via the city council; since the city would have to join the Coastal district in order to get into the Metropolitan district.

When Shopping Please Visit Our Store IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago FEBRUARY 4, 1871 The call the attention of our people and to those living abroad is excellent advantages of the age of Santa Ana as a place residence. It is one of the live and rising towns of this city, that manifestly has an important future before it. The principal citizens there who have growth and prosperity of the city at heart, are determined to offer every reasonable inducement to settlers and business. Lots are now selling at $20 to $40 and others will be given away where improvements are made. Already 50 trees have been erected in the town Tuesday last Mr. A. Henry lives two miles west of town, out to shoot wild geese, and using the ramrod of his gun, used instead of a weed instead. The latter, however, being too short, not force the wad down on of the shot, and when he hit the gun burst and tore off muscles and part of the bone he thumb on his left hand, at same time filling the wrist shot. Dr. Taylor was called press the wound. Two 80-acre lots in section 9, sent to the city extension on west and owned by Mr. Cowen will probably be subdivided into three-acre lots during the spring. Mr. Cowen was here and indicated that as intention, when he removes his family hither next May. The time for planting semitropical trees is generally considered to be the month of February, and the demand for that class is evidently in excess of the supply during the month. This year, however, Mr. J. E. Schmidt of Poplar Row, one of the most practical and scientific horticulturists in the county, is prepared to fully supply those beginning to plant. Trees are from one to three years old. Mr. Boldt, Mr. Luedke and W. G. Hubbard and family returned from San Francisco to Anaheim on Wednesday last per steamer California. Glad to see their genial faces once more. Messrs. Mitchel and Gibson announce that they will run a stage line to Wilmington on steamer days. Hip! Hip! From the passage of several droves of horses and cattle through the streets of Anaheim during the past week, we judge that the stock range nuisance is abating. Mr. Ben Dreyfus of Langenberger & Co. is expected down on the Orizaba next week. He will probably remain in Anaheim a month. The enterprising citizens of Santa Ana are taking measures to have a first class hotel erected at that place. A. W. Stenger Is 1000th Active Elk To Andrew W. Stenger of Fullerton, one of the $2 candidates initiated last night went the honor of being the 1000th active member of the Anaheim lodge, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Choice rested on the name drawn from one "hat" at the same time the number, 1000, was drawn from another. In addition to the new initiates, one member was reinstated last night. John D. Ardaiz, exalted ruler, explained that the lodge has initiated considerably more than 1000 members during the 28 years of its existence here, but that deaths, transfers and other withdrawals from the rolls had cut the active membership to 991, prior to last night's initiation. The lodge will hold its annual Ladies' Night party next Wednesday night, with reservations at the banquet limited to 275. Entertainment will be provided by a half-dozen or more young Hollywood movie performers of acknowledged ability. Ranging in age from 14 to 17 years, they presented a revue entitled, "Cyclone of Youth." Attendance was in excess of 300. Lions Hear Talk On Literature An interesting discourse on English literature entertained Anaheim Lions club members at their weekly luncheon Friday. The speaker, a club member, Tom Seeds, a native of Canada who holds the position of advertising manager of the Gazette, quoted several passages from works of Missing In Action Many a sorrowed but mother and father, or sister and brother, who have in hope since receipt of the ful telegram announcing the appearance of a loved one, now seems doomed to disappointment. Almost six months ago the war in the Pacific ended Navy believed, with hope some of its men had ship sinkings and plane crashes eventually would be on the myriad atolls and reefs that dot the vast coast of the western ocean. Thus far, a thorough haustive sarch has failed to duce a single survivor as rescue. Evidence was found five tiny isles that such had been there, but the men themselves could not be found. Here and there, among thousands of atolls too tiny to appear even as a on the map, plane wrecked found; and the graves of who had been buried by theirives. In spite of thoroughness thus-far futile search, which reached even to islands in the Japanese, there still possibility that some model inson Crusoes still awaiting, with all patient sible, the coming of life from an unsought and unisolation.

While Mrs. J. J. Everhardy was driving a spirited team hitched to a carriage into town on Olive street one day last week and was accompanied by Miss Fannie Rowe, Mrs. Otto Rust and Mrs. McKinley, the horses took fright and bolted down the street toward Center. Near the opera house the animals were guided into an adjoining plowed field and stopped, greatly to the relief of the occupants of the carriage. Mr. Jennings then came to the relief of the ladies and piloted them home. The Ladies' Euchre club met at the home of Mrs. A. L. Lewis last Friday evening, and to make it interesting the gentlemen were invited to be present and participate in the fascinating game. Eight tables were occupied and the contests were very spirited. Mrs. Derge and Mrs. Cahen won the first ladies' prizes and Mr. Fay and Gib Landell were the lucky gentlemen players, each receiving appropriate prizes. The booby prizes fell to Mrs. Des Granges and Mrs. Everharty. At the conclusion of the games dainty refreshments were served. Mrs. Lewis was assisted by Miss Clara Mosseman and Miss Cora Lewis and the ladies were voted as the best of entertainers. 25 Years Ago FEBRUARY 3, 1921 The proposal of the Anaheim number of commerce to inaugurate an annual valencia orange meet with the unanimous enement of the associated owners of commerce at the daily meeting held at St. Ann's Santa Ana, Wednesday evening.

You Will Delight in the NEW DIXIE CASTLE RESTAURANT HARRY & MARGE—Host and Hostess MISSING IN ACTION Many a sorrowed but hopeful mother and father, or wife, or sister and brother, who has lived a hope since receipt of the fateful telegram announcing the disappearance of a loved one in battle, now seems doomed to final disappointment. Almost six months ago, when the war in the Pacific ended, the heavy believed, with hope, that some of its men had survived ship sinks and plane crashes, and eventually would be found on the myriad atolls and coral reefs that dot the vast reaches of the western ocean. Thus far, a thorough and exhaustive sarch has failed to produce a single survivor awaiting rescue. Evidence was found on five tiny isles that such men had been there, but the men themselves could not be found. Here and there, among the thousands of atolls too tiny, mostly to appear even as a speck on the map, plane wreckage was found; and the graves of flyers who had been buried by the natives. In spite of thoroughness of the thus-far futile search, which has reached even to islands held by the Japanese, there still is bare possibility that some modern Robinson Crusoes still survive—waiting, with all patience possible, the coming of liberation from an unsought and unwanted isolation. The search should not—and will not—be relaxed. Electric cable insulated with heat-resistant glass fiber was introduced in 1935. It made possible the re-design of electric motors or higher temperature operation. 'Double Up, Don't Build,' Housing Experts Advise "This is not the time to build, unless it is absolutely necessary," declares William Colhoun, managing director of the Southern California Tile institute. "Using present housing facilities to maximum possibilities will solve the housing shortage," adds David F. Culver, newly-elected head of the Apartment Association of Los Angeles county, who declares, "Surveys by our association reveal that more than 67,000 apartments in Los Angeles county alone are accommodating single occupants. Turning over those facilities to families of two to four persons would aid substantially in alleviating the present situation." With manufacturing and building materials suppliers confining much of their effort to producing low-cost items. Colhoun said, that it would probably be some months before materials in many lines would achieve pre-war quality. Tile, he said, is being demanded far beyond the capacity of contractors and manufacturers to meet. While the material on hand is of first quality, purchasers have little, if any, selection of color or patterns, he pointed out. Electricity has come to the aid of the egg candler and grader.

Radio's first commercial program was sponsored by a Jackson A FEDERAL GRAB The suit of the United States government to establish ownership of the ocean bed off the coast of California, brought in the Supreme Court at Washington and directed against this state and its people, is of such far-reaching importance as to inspire probable action by the state legislature at the special session which convened in Sacramento recently. Speaker of the assembly Charles W. Lyon has been in consultation with legislative leaders and action in two phases of the matter is indicated in a recent recommendation by the Joint Legislative committee. According to Lyon, the first would be an act to delimit the seaward boundaries of the state, this being among the powers reserved to the states by the constitution and by international law; the second would be a joint resolution to ask permission for the legislature to intervene in the suit as a friend of the court, file separate briefs and appear by counsel from its own membership. Should the court rule in favor of the United States government in this suit, it would sharply limit the law giving powers of the legislature and repeal by decree many existing state laws. It would so limit the state and county power of taxation as to deprive the people of the benefit of any taxation on oil production, should the scene of operations shift from the land to the ocean bed in future exploration for petroleum. It would virtually change the status of California from a maritime to an inland state, with no control over the waters lying off its shores, even to their protection from pollution. Possibility that some modern Robinson Crusoes still survive—waiting, with all patience possible, the coming of liberation from an unsought and unwanted isolation.
