IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago January 9, 1875 Mass Meeting: All persons who own or represent land, east, north and north-west of Anaheim, who are in favor of alding in the construction of a ditch from the bedrock crossing of the Santa Ana river, suitable for our present wants and within our means, are requested to meet in Anaheim at Enterprise hall on Saturday, the 9th day of January at 1 o'clock p.m. By request of many who are interested. The next session of the Anaheim public schools will commence on It is needless to mention their non-succes, for, in the first place, their points of law were not well taken, and in the second place, they had no brains. From March, 1872, to the first of the present year, or in other words, during the incumbency of Sheriff Rowland, the records of the county jail show that there have been arrested for various crimes 544 persons. Among them the number indicted for murder and manslaughter foots up to forty-four, while those accused of these crimes now in San Quenton themselves highly. Supper was served at the hotel by Mrs. Ursula and the table was supplied with every delicacy. The Tustin city string band provided the music. On the same evening Mr. C. Tustin presented a fine clock to the school. Notice is given to the shareholders of the Anaheim Water Company through the secretary, R. A. Korn, that at a meeting held on Saturday, December 12, 1874, the board of trustees levied an assessment of 50 cents per share on the capital stock of said company payable on or before the 16th day of January, 1875, to the treasurer H. Werden at his home. In the list of names for the Grand Jury for the January term are those of Messrs. E. W. Champion, Richard Heinemann and Geoff Harter of Anaheim and George Fountaine of San Juan Capistrano. Notice—China laborers, in all departments can be found and employed at Wau Lung's Wash house on Center street. To-wit: Good cooks, laundrymen and all other business. Call on Wau Lung, agent of the See Yup company, for information. Frank Ganahl was married on Tuesday in Marysville to Miss Lizzie McDaniel, a sister of Major B. M. McDaniel, formerly of Los Angeles. Mrs. Flora Brown is offering her winter hats at cost, so go at once and secure one of those stylish felts before they are all gone. Another oil discovery is reported from San Fernando flowing 100 barrels a day. Mr. Tim Boege is building a two-story lodging house on his addition near the depot. It will be panched over when completed by Otte. The next session of the Anaheim public schools will commence on Monday. Mrs. Guinan has resigned the charge of the Intermediate school and will be succeeded by Miss Adah des Granges. No teacher has yet been secured to take charge of the primary department and until that is done Mrs. Guinan will continue to discharge her duties. There came the other day in San Juan Capistrano a good, old-fashioned California law suit. The matter in dispute was a little piece of public land situated near the village, and the court was held in a sequestered valley, immediately beneath the shadow of the old mission church and called since the occurrence of which we speak "Bloody Gulch." Armed, each with a hatchet and drunk with rage, they assayed a settlement by knocking out each others brains. From March, 1872, to the first of the present year, or in other words, during the incumbency of Sheriff Rowland, the records of the county jail show that there have been arrested for various crimes 544 persons. Among them the number indicted for murder and manslaughter foots up to forty-four, while those accused of these crimes now in San Quenton only number 16 persons. The sheriff has evidently performed his duties well, but how-about the juries? Among the many new buildings which are now in course of erection, we have often heard of Mr. Reiser's brewery, but had not the slightest idea what a mammoth concern it will be; until passing in that vicinity a few days ago. Before that time our idea had been that it was something a little better than provincial, but the fact is that it would do San Francisco credit in size and capacity, and in the general arrangement for brewing. A New Year's ball was held in the Tustin city school house when about thirty couples were in attendance and everybody enjoyed Happy New Year This gay, sincere and heartfelt greeting from friend to friend will continue to echo throughout the land for days to come as the merry reminder of an eventful day with which the second-half of the 20th This gay, sincere and heartfelt greeting from friend to friend will continue to echo throughout the land for days to come as the merry reminder of an eventful day with which the second-half of the 20th century begins. We echo the greeting "Happy New Year" We pledge ourselves to work with you to make it so... THE SAVINGS, LOAN AND BUILDING ASSOC.

Edison Company Have Huge Float In Rose Parade (Continued from Page 1) and corn flowers will be used to obtain the correct color scheme. While watching the float, the public will not realize the activity which goes on inside to provide the many unusual features. To obtain the sound necessary to play the showboat music, 34 loud speakers of the theater type are mounted on each side of the float. Two technicians with duplicate sets of recorders will handle the volume and tone of the music and the whistle. A smoke-making machine will provide the smoke for the stacks while a separate machine will make steam for the whistle. An electric generating plant operated by its own gasoline engine will provide the power necessary to operate the sound equipment and motors to turn the paddle wheels. One man will be kept busy handling this equipment. Upon completion of the frame the Edison company entry will be moved to the tent where most of the floats will be completed just before parade time.
