IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... The Literary Union met in the Presbyterian church on Thursday evening. The following program was carried out: Duet by Misses Laura Campbell and Carrie Selbert; Recitation, "The Three Fishers," by Miss Parker; Reading, by E. A. Saxton. Music by Misses Ella Mitchell, Carrie Selbert, Fannie Higgins and Laura Campbell. Reading by J. M. Guinn. Among the visitors to the Gazette office during the week, were Messrs. R. F. Harris and H. F. Townsend of Garden Grove, and Messrs. Beckwith and Everett of Westminster. The debut of Mr. A. Guy Smith as a weather prophet succeeded so well that his future meteorological predictions will receive more credence than was given to his first one. Several weeks ago he predicted rain on the 8th of December, and promptly on that day one-third of an inch fell. The statement of quantity conveys little idea of the good done. The rain was most opportune and had a wonderful reviving effect upon the grass. It was, however, to some extent, a local rain, as at San Juan Capistrano, 30 miles distant, a heavy fog was all that was vouchsafed, and in Los An- at $10 per ton of 2000 lbs., to Casa Grande, $12 per ton. Flour carloads to either of the above points $15 per ton of 2000 lbs. The sum of $4776 was expended last year by the Board of Supervisors for squirrel poison under the Ellis Act. The law ought to be and probably will be repealed. On Tuesday afternoon a small house on Broadway was burned together with all its contents. It was occupied by Chris Callian, and it is surmised that the fire was the work of some persons with whom he was not on good terms. He lost all of his clothing, blankets, rifle, revolvers and innumerable traps of considerable value. He had in the house $150 in gold coin. He found in the ashes after they had cooled, two partially melted twenty dollar gold pieces and some other pieces of melted gold probably to the value of $125. Some of the contents of the house could have been saved had it not been for the fear engendered by the well-known eccentric habits of Callian who was known to have firearms concealed about the house with wires and other infernal trivances attached so that the opening of a door or the pulling of a latch might let loose upon the intruder Chase sang "Under the Daisies;" Mr. Grimshaw read "Old Dan;" Mrs. and Misa Mitchell sang a duet, "When the Twilight Soft is Falling;" Mrs. Parker read, "Coming Home Late." Each number was pleasing and the program was enjoyed by all present. The next meeting will have another good program. Among those participating are: Mrs. Quinn; Miss Katie Meyerholz, Otto DesGranges, Henry Kuchel, Chas. Higgins, Laura Campbell, Carrie Selbert, Julius Voigt. On Tuesday last the Anaheim Water Company obtained from Mrs. T. J. Smith a loan of $9,000 for fifteen months at 10 per cent per annum interest. As the company has heretofore been paying 15 per cent per annum interest they have made a very decided saving by this last negotiation. The rate on honey from Anaheim to San Francisco has been fixed at $8 per ton by the car load. Dr. J. V. Widney of Los Angeles has been appointed a member of the State Board of Health by Governor Perkens. 50 Years Ago... J. W. Finley is in charge of the Palace Meaf Market in the absence of Wm. Schumacher, who in Phoenix this week with H. Williams who has gone there to recuperate his health. W. Schumacher who was town this week from the Loma same situated north more credence than was given to his first one. Several weeks ago he predicted rain on the 8th of December, and promptly on that day one-third of an inch fell. The statement of quantity conveys little idea of the good done. The rain was most opportune and had a wonderful reviving effect upon the grass. It was, however, to some extent, a local rain, as at San Juan Capistrano, 30 miles distant, a heavy fog was all that was vouchsafed, and in Los Angeles the fall was only .18 of an inch. Louis Spinner, who shot a Chinaman at a wash-house near Fulton Wells about a year ago, and who was convicted at the County Court of assault with a deadly weapon, was sentenced on Wednesday to one year in the state's prison. January, 1880 Good vineyard land at $8 per acre ought not to remain any great length of time on the market. In our advertising columns will be found an offer of 20 acres of such land for $100. The firm of B. Dreyfus & Co., has just shipped 40 carloads (80-000) gallons of claret to New Orleans. This firm finds the South a good market for claret wine and they make many shipments similar to the above during the year. Railroad freight rates on grain, potatoes and onions in straight or mixed carload lots from Los Angeles to Maricopa, has been fixed Mr. C. S. Miles will leave for San Francisco next week to be gone probably four months. Mr. Miles goes to learn what he can about the flouring mill business as he and his brother intend to have a mill in Anaheim in time to convert the coming wheat crop into flour. The Anaheim Literary Union met in the Presbyterian church on Thursday evening. The following program was given: Reading, "The Anglers," Miss Fannie Higgins; Recitation, "Old Chrispel's Advice," Miss Sarah Crowther; Declamation, "The Cottage on The Hills," Herman Zeyn; Miss Alice TOWN TOPICS from Bank of America MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION Anaheim Branch O. E. Hanson, Manager $4 BILLION FOR A RAINY DAY! That's how much Californians are now saving in our bank— tially melted twenty dollar gold pieces and some other pieces of of melted gold probably to the value of $125. Some of the contents of the house could have been saved had it not been for the fear engendered by the well-known eccentric habits of Callian who was known to have firearms concealed about the house with wires and other infernal convances attached so that the opening of a door or the pulling of a latch might let loose upon the intruder a whole masked battery. That which was intended by the owner to protect his property was really the cause of much of it being destroyed as no one cared to run the risk of approaching the building. Callian's loss is quite a severe one, and the poor fellow meets with much sympathy. The building was owner by C. C. Switzer and was worth $75 or $100. I find Metro service economical and dependable" says librarian Mary Insall. "My home is in Hollywood, and the most convenient way to get to my office in Los Angeles is by Metro bus. If I had to drive my own car to work it would cost at least $5 more per week than my bus fares. Outside of business hours, I study piano, and compose—and I bought the new tape recorder I use in composing with what I save by taking the bus." Anaheim Branch O. E. Hanson, Manager $4 BILLION FOR A RAINY DAY! That's how much Californians are now saving in our bank—$4,078,274,433 as of the end of the year. Part of this money will make the hopes and dream of thousands of people come true this year. The rest will be saved for a "rainy day" or to help thousands more build their plans for the future. If all this money were allowed to remain in our bank until the end of 1955, it would earn $81,565,488 interest. And that's another good reason for saving at Bank of America—the 2% bank interest. If you don't have an account with us, we invite you to open one now! WHAT WOULD YOU BUY WITH $1,965,000,000? We have a pretty good idea of what was bought for that amount of money during 1954—for it's the approximate amount of Timeplan and other instalment credit loans made by our bank last year. A good share of it went to pay for automobiles, household appliances, home improvements, Christmas gifts and many other worthwhile things right here in our town. If you need money at any time during 1955, Timeplan may be your answer, too. ORANGE COUNTY STOCKHOLDERS SHARE IN DIVIDENDS More than 2,000 Bank of America stockholders in Orange County who own 268,750 shares of our stock are better off financially for having received their share of the regular dividends during 1954. Dividends paid to Orange County stockholders last year amounted to $428,400.00. New draperies for my home can be credited to Metro So reports bookkeeper Joyce Rosenberger, who travels regularly from her job in Los Angeles to Fullerton, "According to my figures, save about $2 daily by riding Metro buses, and eliminating driving costs and parking fees.

January, 1905 Another glorious rain has fallen: from all sides are heard the gladsome tidings that the year bringing bountiful harvest and prosperity to all. While it is true that Orange County, because of its super irrigation facilities comes nearing being immune to drought than any other section of the plants find their supply. This underground water has been gradually sinking during the past ten years, for it is true we have had ten pretty dry years in Southern California. A good wet winter will tend to bring this water back to its former level, and that is worth millions to this country. Let us hope that the county as well as the entire Southland is upon the eve of the most prosperous year it has ever known. Lealie Swope and David Christian of the Anaheim High School carried off the honors in the debate at Downey on Saturday evening.
