IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 1, 1880 The Santa Ana Valley Teachers association held its regular monthly meeting on Saturday afternoon, April 24, in the Anaheim school building. There was a full attendance of the members. Prof. Henry Finck, with the assistance of some of the school girls furnished excellent music. Wm. G. McFherson of Centralia read a carefully prepared and valuable paper on teaching the History of the United States. History should tell something more of a country than of its battles. The great fault of the history now in use in our schools is that it gives but little more of history than names and dates; it is little better than a chronological table. Mr. Hall opened the discussion. He believed that social science and political economy should be taught in connection with history. The wars of a country should not fill up all of its history. We should know something of its social life, something of its domestic economy, Mr. Henderson argued with Mr. Hall. He did not believe in teaching dates: The pages of history devoted to descriptions of battles and sieges should be filled with accounts of how the people lived—what they ate, what they produced. Mr. Hewes of Tustin would omit from U. S. History the accounts of the late war: the events of that war were too recent to be historical. Mr. Moores did not agree with Mr. Hewes. The account of the late war in our school histories were fair and truthful; all parties agreed a sto the causes that led to that war. Swinton's history was impartial and correct in its statements. Mr. Guinn did not believe in leaving out of its history the wars of a nation. The wars of a nation were milestones that marked its progress in civilization and its advance in constitutional liberty. The minute details in the descriptions of battles and sieges might be omitted but the causes that lead to these wars and the results which followed from them should be carefully studied. The subject was further discussed by Messrs. Andrews, Squires and McDonald, and by Miss Brier and Mrs. Hewes. After recess Mr. U. E. Squires of Orange read a paper in "Text Books." The question was discussed by Messrs. Hall, Henderson, Hewes, Guinn, Andrews and Mrs. Averill. The president announced the following program for the next meeting: Music: Mr. J. N.

Meyers of Santa Ana, class exercise in reading. W. H. Henderson, the profession of teaching. Miss Davis of Orange, select reading. Adjourned to meet in Santa Ana at 1 P.M. on the last Saturday in May. At the town election on Monday one hundred an dten votes were cast and the following gentlemen were elected trustees: F. A. Korn, 90 votes; B. Dreyfus, 88; E. A. Saxton, 84; D. E. Miles, 84; B. F. Seibert 66; J. P. Zeyn for assessor received 94 votes, R. Melrose for clerk received 99 votes, R. M. Barham for marshal received 99 votes, Theo Rimpau for treasurer received 101 votes, T. L. Gannon for justice of the peace received 81 votes and Alex Bailey 26 votes. The elected ticket is the one which was nominated at the convention on Friday night of last week. The officers elect will assume their duties on next Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. At 8 o'clock on Friday of last week, Charles de Young senior proprietor of the San Francisco Chronicle was standing in the business office of that paper conversing with some gentlemen, and while so engaged, Rev. I. S. Kallock entered the office and without uttering a word, began firing at de Young. The latter ran behind the office counter and just as he extricated his pistol from his pocket a ball from Kallock's pistol entered his mouth and he fell back insensible, death ensuing in ten minutes. Five shots were fired by Kallock, the fifth shot only hitting the victim de Young's pistol was found to have none of the chambers empty. Such is a brief history of the murder which has been the chief topic of conversation during the week. The murderer is a son of Rev. Kallock, the Mayor of San Francisco, and like his father is a minister of the gospel. The immediate provocation for the deed was the circulation of a pamphlet-recounting scandalous episodes of the senior Kallock's career, distribution of which was credited to de Young, although it is denied that he had anything to do with it.

Total Eclipse of Sun Due April 28 (Continued from Page 1) darkness as the shadow moves rapidly toward Helena, Montana. The speed of the traveling shadow is more than 500 miles an hour, so that total darkness at one point along its path will last only about a second and a half. The eclipse will not be total through the entire length of the path of the shadow. Before the shadow reaches the coast, the view of the sun from a ship out in the Pacific Ocean will be that, of a ring of fire with the round black shadow of the moon in the middle. This ring effect makes what is called, an "annular" eclipse. And along most of the path along which the shadow will travel as it moves swiftly northeasterly across the Canadian border, then South of Hudson's Bay over Laborador and out into the Atlantic Ocean, the view of those directly under the sun will be of this ring of fire. Only for about 500 miles of its ten-thousand-mile race over the surface of the globe will the eclipse be total. Fifty miles or so east of Butte, Montana, the ring will begin again. The time when the eclipses will be total, in the regions where it is total, will be exactly noon, sun time. That will be a little before noon, Pacific Standard Time, in California, and a few minutes after noon, Mountain Time, at Butte, Montana. Tribute From Florida Florida growers are coming to the same conclusion as California growers about the marketing of their citrus crops. The following is quoted from an advertisement of the Florida Citrus Exchange appearing in the January issue of the Florida Grower and speaks for itself: "Unified marketing of the Florida citrus output, sponsored by the Federal Farm Board, has as its principal objective a system that will assure growers better net returns on their investment and labor. Because it will mean immensely greater sums of money placed in trade channels, the unification of citrus selling is almost as important." The Ganahl Lumber company this week purchased 114 building lots in the Del Campo tract from T. L. Duque of Los Angles. The company will offer a limited number of lots to purchaser with certain restrictions as to buildings to be erected thereon, the desire being to have sightly residences erected. The tract is one of the most desirable in town. A mountain lion has been making ravages among cattle in Trabuco and Bell canyon districts. On the ranch of S. F. Miller a number of young heifers and cows have been taken and other owners report similar losses. Several days ago traps were set but the lion succeeded in escaping them and secured his usual prey from the farmers herds. A number of small parties have gone out to track the beast and in every instance have been unable to find its liar. Now, the mountain ranchman thoroughly aroused are preparing to organize a big hunt next week to put an end to the marauder. Godfrey Stock's six year old son was severely scalded about the face Sunday morning at the family residence on Walnut street. The child had arisen and dressed himself and was going to the kitchen where Mrs. Stock was preparing breakfast. She was in the act of turning away from the stove with a saucepan filled with hot water, when the child collided with the utensil, and the hot water splashed in his face. He was burned about the eyes and cheeks, but apart from suffering painful injury no permanent bad effects of the accident are anticipated. J. S.

Using the Method That Fits the Need To establish a set of hard and fast rules to govern all sales transactions in fresh fruits and vegetables would be Using the Method That Fits the Need To establish a set of hard and fast rules to govern all sales transactions in fresh fruits and vegetables would be to work a hardship in many cases. Therefore, the sales methods of American Fruit Growers Inc. are purposely adapted to the requirements of the growers being served. This organization is equipped to sell for growers on the most desirable bases—f.o.b. shipping points, delivered, jobbed through stores, team track or pier forces in leading markets, or offered at auction by skilled men. The plans to be followed are determined by conference and agreement with growers, and the result is that the best interests of all are protected. In relying on the advice and judgment of A. F. G. experts, growers are able to have their fruits and vegetables marketed to the best advantage. Negotiations with buyers are so conducted that mutual confidence is sustained, with the assurance of a ready response to offerings in successive seasons.
