IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago MAY 3, 1873 A couple of men who were employed by Mr. Charles Hille in excavating a cellar on his lot on Center street, found at a depth of six feet from the surface, an Indian mortar firmly embedded in the earth. It is of grey stone, weighs about fifteen pounds and exactly resembles those in which the Indians pound up their maize. It was split exactly through the center, but so neatly was it joined together that this was discovered only when it was lifted out of the bed where perchance it had lain for a thousand years. Quite a spirited election took place last Saturday for the office of school trustee, made vacant by the expiration of the term of Mr. John P. Zeyn, who has held that position for the past six years. Messrs. S. J. Davis and C. Mossemann acted as judges and F. W. Athearn as inspector. Forty-nine votes were polled resulting in the election of Mr. Theodore Relser by a majority of four votes. The board of school trustees now consists of Messrs. W. M. Higgins, Theodore Rimpau and Theodore Relser. We are glad to announce that our new job press has arrived. We expected to be able to put it in operation today, but owing to the non-arrival of our rollers from Los Angeles, we will necessarily On Wednesday and Thursday last the case of Pasqual Castoren vs. B. F. Rogers was on trial in Judge Kohler's court. This suit was brought to recover the sum of two hundred dollars, damages for trespass, alleged to have been committed by defendant in allowing his cattle to feed on the range, which plaintiff had rented from the Land Co. for the pasture of his sheep. Defense claimed they had received permission from the company to pasture their cattle on the same tract. The jury found a verdict for plaintiff for one dollar and costs, the latter amounting to ninety-seven dollars. The case was argued by Judge O. H. Allen for plaintiff and Messrs. S. J. Davis and C. G. Johnson for defendant. J. K. Tuffree has been appointed by the Los Angeles Land Co. their agent to rent unsold lands for grazing or agricultural purposes. Saturn was in the ascendant Thursday night. Two paisanos gesticulated with two tremendously long knives, but unfortunately sheathed them without using. J. M. and R. Cummins have sold their farm and will leave next week for Washington Territory in search of more rain. D. W. C. Dimmock, one of our MOD Proposes Size Prorate At the hearing on proposed amendments to the Orange Marketing Agreement which ended last week, J. A. Steward, general manager of Mutual Orange Distributors, supported size regulation of California oranges. He presented tables and charts which, when analyzed, reveal that during the four years of proration, 1937–38 to 1940-41 inclusive, more than 10 million boxes of oranges were sold in the 10 auction markets at a price that averaged only $2.47 delivered. These lower sales consisted chiefly of low grades and small sizes. "With the increased and potential increase in the production of all oranges in the United States, it could easily happen that prices would recede to prewar levels," Mr. Steward stated, and "$2.47 would not pay today's 'out of pocket' handling costs which are estimated, according to an exhibit introduced by the California Fruit Growers Exchange in this hearing, to be $3.12 a box." Mr. Steward opened his arguments with a brief review of prices prior to and during proration periods and submitted tables substantiating his statements. He said, "Mutual Orange Distributors exhibits, when analyzed, reveal that for the eight years prior to pro-ration navel oranges averaged $4.17 per box, Valencias $4.91. For the next eight year period under proration, navels averaged $2.99 Valencias $3.71. They show that for the season 1941-42, when the prrate was suspended, navels avi We are glad to announce that our new job press has arrived. We expected to be able to put it in operation today, but owing to the non-arrival of our rollers from Los Angeles we will necessarily be obliged to defer our job work until Monday. On that day we invite our friends, one and all, to come up and see how the old thing works. We are enabled now to do work of any description at Los Angeles prices, and will guarantee that all jobs will be turned off in a style not excelled by any job office south of San Francisco. "Drop by drop the streams run dry"—as we prophesied, the stock of aguadiente is almost exhausted. East evening we observed the last of the sheep-shearers carrying off a couple of barrels full in his inside. La Salon da la Independencia Mexicana will charge in the future fifteen cents a drink. Great Scott! and the frost has nipped the grape vines. A team belonging to a fruit peddler ran away last Sunday afternoon. It is probable that had the wagon not collided with a tree, thus effectually stopping further progress, "das mool" would have gone "more as a tousand miles away." 25 Years Ago MAY 3, 1923 A permit was issued last week for the construction of an addition to St. Boniface church building. It is to be of brick and will cost $18,000. Joe Siegel was given a permit to erect two residences on La Palma street, each costing $2500, and G. J. Scheffler took out a permit for a residence on Sabina street to cost $3000. The Rotary club at the regular meeting Monday elected officers as follows: President, T. L.

Sam Selig, the Los Angeles chain store man, has a ten year lease on the ground floor, it is reported, and will put in a market as soon as it is ready for occupancy. It is understood that Mr. Selig is putting in two stores here. President Harding believes the housewife's sugar boycott is "wholly consistent" and that it will be constructive and helpful in remedying the present high price situation, it was stated at the White House on highest authority. Secretary of Commerce Hoover also approved the sugar boycott organized by American women as the most effective means of breaking the sugar douse. The women are on the right track, said Hoover, "The way to control prices is through spontaneous control of consumption." Egypt's temples, pyramids, tombs and other evidences of her glory as a world power, will live again at the third annual California Valencia Orange show, which will be held for nine days at Anaheim commencing May 22. The show will be held in two huge tents which will be lavishly decorated. The finest specimens of Valencia oranges as well as lemons, grapefruit and other citrus products will be exhibited. The entrance will be a replica of the Tuesday evening. The guests were invited to meet at La Palm cafe at 7:30 where a delicious dinner was served. After dinner the party went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Backs where tables were arranged for cards and 500 was played. Prizes were won by Mrs. McCord and Mrs. J. J. Schneider and Mrs. Clayes. The gentlemen's prizes were won by Fred Zeppenfeld, Leo Sheridan and Ralph McFadden. Friends of Miss Jeanette Jessurun and William S. Gibbs were greatly surprised on learning that they had slipped away Monday and were married at the First Presbyterian church manse at Riverside. They were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Jessurun, father and mother of the bride, Miss Elise and William Jessurun, Mrs. Clara Gibbs, mother of the groom and Malcolm Gibbs. The young folks left on a honeymoon trip to the north and will be absent a couple of weeks. The Five Hundred Card club surprised Mr. and Mrs. L. Z. Kroeger by calling at their home without an invitation. The guests carried luncheon with them which was served after a delightful evening at the card tables. The occasion was the fifteenth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Kroeger. County sealer of weights and measures George McPhee was in town Tuesday. He came over for the purpose of adjusting the scales in the new Shell oil station on North Los Angeles street. Miss Isabel Dolan was hostess to the Bridge Club at her home on Broadway Saturday afternoon. Misses Irma Steadman and Beryl Kennedy were the prize winners. Luncheon was served by the hostess at the close of the games. Mrs. Mary O. Kellogg was injured in a fall some days ago and there is no increase in the differential in favor of California during volume proration and that California has retreated from ten of the biggest consumer markets of the east everytime proration has been in use, thus turning these markets over to Florida. "It is claimed by the proponents of volume proration that even as little as 10 percent of the volume moved to market unregulated is sufficient to destroy the entire market," Steward remarked. "What I have said and the statistics and statements I have produced appear to me to lead inevitably to the conclusion that size regulation is essential either with volume regulation or without volume regulation if the purpose of the Act, including, of course, consumer satisfaction, is to be achieved." In reference to the diversion proposal, Mr. Steward felt that "It is nothing more than a 'left-handed' approach at size and grade regulation plus a subsidy to the grower of poor fruit." He feels that it is extremely doubtful her condition is considered serious by her physician. Mrs. Nellie Terry is attending the state federation of women's clubs at Eureka this week. She represents the Ebell club of this city. The estate of Henry Burdorf deceased, has been appraised at $11,296, and that of Lucy Ortega at $29,000.

They show that season 1941-42, when the was suspended, navels av- whether the diversion plan as proposed would accomplish the elimination of inferior fruit from the markets. "The proposal of the MOD size regulation will accomplish the elimination of undesirable fruit more directly and more effectuly than will the proposed diversion program and will eliminate the administrative problems which the proposed diversion program presents," said Mr. Steward, who added: "The MOD originally proposed grade regulation as well as size regulation but there is such a diversity of opinion with respect to grade that we are limiting our proposal to size regulation. It would be expensive to administer the order on the basis of grade or on the basis of the proposed diversion program, but it would be comparatively simple and inexpensive to regulate shipments on the basis of size." There are approximately 23,400 pumping wells in the great inland valleys of California.
