THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) LEONARD VINCENT, piedro dropped in for a short visit with Harry Horn, one of his many old-time Anaheim friends. I was a visitor in Harry's office at the time and enjoyed listening in as they recalled early day experiences. The story of Harry being caught with one leg in his pants and the other leg out, as he was changing to go to a dinner meeting when the Long Beach earthquake hit town, is well told by Vincent. The Vincent Furniture Store was located in the building now being used by the Hub Furniture. Prior to that Mr. Vincent did business at the present Jans Cafe location. THE ORANGE County Fair, which is now in progress, does not have everything from soup to nuts. It does have the nuts but it doesn't offer prizes for the best soup maker in the county. Sure there is a difference. The best split pea soup maker and the best navy bean soup maker should be recognized, and the recipes should be available to all restaurants in the county. Orange IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHER From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette 75 Years Ago... May — 1883 Thursday's rain was the finest if the season, and sheepmen and farmers are delighted, especially as it was quite unlooked for at the day making 5.17 for the season. Mr. Darling recorded the rainfall at 1.77 at the Anaheim station making a total of 8.50 inches for the season. Loose ground has been wet to a depth of more than a foot. Many farmers say they will plow and put in seed for hay, and are confident that a fair crop can yet be raised. Superintendent Sketchley has about a dozen and a half ostrich eggs in the incubator now and expects the finest chicks in a couple of weeks. The ostrich farm will then be doubly attractive to sightseers. He also plucked the birds some time ago and sent the feathers to San Francisco to be smoothed out and dyed. They will then be offered for sale as mementoes. A notice of the marriage on Sunday afternoon of Miss Estella Kuelp and Mr. J. Yager of Los Angeles will be found under the appropriate heading. Ye hungry Tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock Bishop Klip will administer rite of confirmation to a class St. Michael's church this city. 50 Years Ago... May — 1908 Work will immediately begin upon the electric railway from Los Nietos to Richfield through La Habra valley. Surveys have been run and right of way secured, and it is said the road will be in operation in nine days. It is Mr. Huntington's pose to continue the line up river valley to Corona and Rio side giving the upper valley rect communication with Los Angeles. Mr. Huntington has stated he would build a cross roads from Richfield south, through this city to the ocean. Whethis road will continue southeast to this city through Garden Grove and Bolsa to Huntington Bay or whether he will run direct Cypress there to form a junction with the Santa Ana-Los Angeles line, is not definitely known. Chief Engineer Pillsbury, who is derestood to be interested in real west of Cypress, favors the latter route. The early beginning work upon the La Habra THE ORANGE County Fair, which is now in progress, does not have everything from soup to nuts. It does have the nuts but it doesn't offer prizes for the best soup maker in the county. Sure there is a difference. The best split pea soup maker and the best navy bean soup maker should be recognized, and the recipes should be available to all restaurants in the county. Orange County fair officials could do us soup lovers a real service by improving the quality of soup in all of Orange County. Why not a soup project next year? DEMOCRATS make me smile as they seem to shy away from the good old word "Democrat." Many of them favor the word "Democratic", such as "Democratic Candidates", or "Democratic Council. Let's hope that here in California we are all democratic, but it appears that less than half of us belong to the Democratic Party, according to advance registrations. WOW! How can I get out of this one? Last week I knew for sure that Lemon does not cross Los Angeles Street. Now I know for darned sure that it does, right there at La Palma Park. Well, it only crosses it once, and it wouldn't do that if Los Angeles Street had kept going north. THIS SIGN is handed to "preferred" customers entering Brick's Cafe: COME IN! We Have Been Expecting You. Things have been going wrong all day. MEDICAL examinations over long distances by radio and over long distances by radio or telephone circuits were recently demonstrated by the U.S. Navy, Pacific Telephone Manager Herb Perry announced today." That's the first paragraph of a press release laid on my desk this week. Wonderful chance for millions of puns, but I can't think of any except wondering what happens if the doctor gets his wires crossed. Or if the report comes back, "I'll be glad when you are dead you, rascal you, when it should A notice of the marriage on Sunday afternoon of Miss Estella Kuelp and Mr. J. Yager of Los Angeles will be found under the appropriate heading. Ye hungry printers gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a generous piece of wedding cake, the donor being the fair bride herself. The editor being away, the cake was sampled without loss of time, and pronounced ne plus ultra. Our best wishes go with the young couple.—At the residence of the bride's mother on Sunday, May 13th, by Alexander Bailey, J.P., Mr. Yager of Los Angeles was married to Miss Estella Kuelp of Anaheim. Married — In Los Angeles on May 15th, Mr. R. H. Gilman of Anaheim and Miss Lizzie Wright of Pasadena, formerly of Anaheim. The board of supervisors have decided upon the following license rates: Dry goods and general merchandise, two classes, first class $10 and the second class $5. Peddlers, two horse wagon, $40 per quarter; foot peddlers, $3 per quarter; saloons, two classes, first class $10 and the second class $5 per quarter. The above is to take effect after the next meeting of the board. D.W.Hudson, real estate agent, reports that he sold 15 acres in lot 40, Anaheim extension, belonging to the Anaheim bank to G.M.Kaffer, and also L.F.Lewis' 20 acres east of town to L.W.Bartz. Both of these gentlemen intend to improve these purchases shortly. Mr.John Hanna reports the sale of the Lee place of 24 acres to Mr.T.J.Grier for $5000. Mr.Grier has charge of Haggin's mines at Lead City, Dakota Territory, whither he has already returned, leaving the property here in charge of a brother and sister. This road will continue south to this city through Garden Grove and Bolsa to Huntington Beach or whether he will run directly Cypress there to form a junction with the Santa Ana-Los Angeles line, is not definitely known. Chr Engineer Pillsbury, who is derstood to be interested in real west of Cypress, favors the late route. The early beginning work upon the La Habra has given rise to electric-rail talk in this section and the subject will probably be taken for discussion at an early date. F.E.Johnson of Olinda in town on Tuesday. He is father of Walter Johnson, well-known baseball pitcher, who leaves shortly to join the Washington team at St.Louis. F teams in the American Association have offered $10,000 for release, but the Washington c refuses to part with him. Seven contraband Chinese were captured at Santa Ana one evening last week in a stranded area with which they were being talked to Los Angeles. The auto Los Angeles at 5 o'clock in a sponse to a telephone mess from Tustin, and on the road side of that town the coolers were found hidden under a hedge. They were bundled into the machine which hurried on its way back to Los Angeles. While running through Santa Ana so time after dark the machine broke down and the suspicious car was taken into custody. They were conveyed to Los Angeles jail and will have a hearing before the United States commissioner. It is supposed they will landed on the Orange Coun shore and made their way their hiding place at Tustin where the auto picked them up. Mr. and Mrs.John Dwyer parted on Sunday evening for two weeks' visit to Yosemite Valley and other points of interest north. They will spend several days in San Francisco before their return. THERE SEEMS to be no problem too big for us to settle during our coffee break. Now, what I'm wondering is, why don't they have coffee breaks in Congress. See how simple it would be to settle the national and international problems. SAM HILGENFELD accuses me of lying awake nights to think up things to write in this column. Well, you might get nightmares. Sam, as you read the stuff, but, believe me, all of this is written while I'm listening to the sermon on Sunday or to the Rotary program on Monday. GIVE A thought to the "Grad Night" dance at the Anaheim Union High School gymnasium. Sponsors of this worthy event need more money and your support. Mrs. Hatfield is chairman of this committee. Give her a ring at KE 5-6212. Tell her you would like to help. She, and her committee, will appreciate it. FACTS you should know: Anaheim's official population is 78,397. Buena Park, 31,805; La Habra, 17,827 and Stanton, 6,794. Mr. John Hanna reports the sale of the Lee place of 24 acres to Mr. T. J. Grier for $5000. Mr. Grier has charge of Haggin's mines at Lead City, Dakota Territory. whither he has already returned, leaving the property here in charge of a brother and sister, who will be a welcome addition to our community. A black bug somewhat resembling a pinacarte, is, we are informed by Mr. John Hunter, damaging some of the young vineyards in North Anaheim. They seem to have bred in the sandwash north of town and are traveling in a north-easterly direction. Capt. George C. Knox has been elected city engineer of Los Angeles, George Hansen resigned. The office is an important and profitable one. Drummers are getting thick as bees of late and about as busy. One of our leading merchants reports having successfully "stood off" seven of 'em in a single day during the week. The merchant did not state how many of the gentry, he had been unable to "stand off". Rev. A. J. Emery will be ordained as a priest at the Tustin City church tomorrow at 12 o'clock. This is a most interesting and impressive ceremony and it is to be regretted that the edifice will probably not contain all who will desire to see the service. The fourth meeting of the Hammond Cordaires was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dwig H. Davis of Fullerton recentlv The club welcomed two new members, Mrs. Lois Garvin and Mr. Hazel Tuel, both of Garden Grove Guests present were Mr. and Mr Jack McDowell of Fullerton.

This center now has approximately 20 businesses now in operation including a branch of the Bank of America which will have its formal opening next weekend. FROM THE "HART" By George E. Hart The ballot box is just around the corner of next week. The political pot is simmering at several spots in the county, and might boil over. Chairman Willis Warner of the County Supervisors is trading lusty punches with his three Garden Grove rivals in the Second District, as a battle royal progresses for his long-held seat on the Board. Warner, a resident of Huntington Beach, appears to be in no serious danger, so far as surface showing indicates. But George DeFord, David L. Baker and Jack Van Beek are pecking away at him. The same applies in the Fifth District, where there is some mild slugging between Supervisor Heinz Kaiser and his opponent, Roy Maypole, the TV man. Maypole, however, seems to be having a hard time getting a campaign rolling. County Auditor Victor Helm is being annoyed by a beach opponent, Wayne Carroll, who quotes a Grand Jury comment on "horse-and-buggy" county government. Helm responds by quoting what the Grand Jury actually said about his work. It was highly complimentary. The horse-and-buggy stuff didn't apply to him. A note of amusement has crept into the contest between Superior Judge Ronald M. Crookshank and Municipal Judge Walter Chaffee, who is after Crookshank's job. This arose from Chaffee's claim of having decided more than 5000 cases, with only one reversal, although he has been on the bench only 17 months.

Brea Rotary Club Receives Charter The newly-organized Rotary Club of Brea has been granted a charter by the board of directors Rotary International, it was announced today. President of the Rotary Club of Brea, which has 21 charter members, is Richard K. Wilcox, an executive with the Memory Garden Memorial Park. Robert Morrisan Niblock, in the lemon growing business for himself, is club secretary. Anaheim a Co-sponsor Sponsors of the new Rotary club are the Rotary Clubs of Anaheim, Fullerton, La Habra and Norwalk, with Cecil C. Crew of Fullerton serving as special representative of the Rotary district governor. Weekly meetings of the Rotary Club of Brea will be held at 12:15 p.m. on Tuesdays at the Masonic Temple. The charter presentation meeting will be held on June 19 at Los Covotes Country Club, starting at 7:30 p.m. The College of the Ozarks dedicated the new Mabee Gymnasium recently, A note of amusement has crept into the contest between Superior Judge Ronald M. Crookshank and Municipal Judge Walter Chaffee, who is after Crookshank's job. This arose from Chaffee's claim of having decided more than 5000 cases, with only one reversal, although he has been on the bench only 17 months. One mathematical reader figured out that this would mean one case decided every 20 minutes during the 17 months, indicating that Chaffee either was giving very little judicial consideration to a case, or was counting traffic tickets, drunks and uncontested cases in small claims court. The 5000-cases claim was, of course, put forward as an offset to Judge Crookshank's much greater experience on the bench. As a matter of fact, at the time Judge Chaffee was appointed to Municipal Court, he had less judicial experience than any other judge in the county, including justices of the peace. Max Eliason, the Assistant District Attorney, from Anaheim, is reported making good progress in the contest for Judge of Municipal Court, Anaheim-Fullerton District, where he faces Gordon Shepard of Garden Grove, John Dawson of La Habra and three Fullerton residents, Lloyd Verry, Warren Ferguson and Lester Carden. The Fullerton contestants all are strong. It would be easier to forecast this one after June 3. In the 75th Assembly District, both Richard Hanna of Westminster, the Democratic incumbent, and George Timothy Kellogg, Republican, of Yorba Linda, have cross-filed.
