IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK The Los Angeles Star of today contains the following sad news of a great national calamity: Chicago, Oct. 9 — The whole business portion of this city is in ashes. The burned district ambraces three miles in length and from one to a mile and a half in width. Every hotel, bank, theatre, express office, newspaper office, telegraph office, with all the wholesale houses in the city are destroyed. Many thousand dwellings and the water works are destroyed. It is reported that from six to seven thousand lives are lost. The fire is still raging, and the wind blowing a hurricane. Oct. 9, 12:45 a.m. — Tonlight is the most awful in the annals of the city. The engines are powerless. The fire marshal has telegraphed to Milwaukee for all of the steamers they can spare. No description can give an adequate idea of the terrible scene. A terrible panic is prevailing throughout the whole city. Almost every body (here all the wires gave out, they are supposed to have been burned down in Chicago). It is stated the Pacific coast insurance companies alone lose $4,000,000. A public meeting was held in San Francisco to take measures for the relief of the sufferers. We invite attention to the announcement of Dr. Heyermann in another column. The doctor is one of the oldest 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK George E. Boyd and Miss Eva Littlefield, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. Littlefield, were married on Thursday evening last at the residence of the bride's parents. Rev. Stone, of the Presbyterian church, officiating. Only a few of the intimate friends of the high contracting parties were present. After the ceremony the happy couple left on the evening Santa Fe train for a short honeymoon. Rev. George A. Irvine died at his home in this city on Thursday evening last. He left a wife, son and daughter to survive him. Mrs. Gustave Heiman came down from Los Angeles Monday to be present at the celebration of the seventy-fifth birthday of her uncle, Mr. L. Guenther. Mr. Guenther is one of the pioneers and is still industrious and active. Charley Federman returned yesterday from a ten days' trip to San Francisco. Charley brings with him a fine line of fall and winter goods, which he will have on display during the week. Andreas Rorden, of Fullerton, and Miss Rebeka Therese, of Los Angeles, were married in the latter city on Sunday of last week.

The doctor is one of the oldest residents of Anaheim, has held this as well as other important offices among us, and will doubtless command a stronog support. D. K. Williams, contractor, is constructing a dwelling house for his own use at the corner of Lemon and Second North streets, and Mr. N. H. Mitchell, of the firm of Mitchell and Gibson, is also building a similar edifice at his ranch 3 miles from town. We regret to say that Dr. Hardin has been quite ill this week. Fischer's hotel is all enclosed and that of Mayor Kroeger is now being pushed rapidly forward by a full force of carpenters. Rev. V. Verdagner will hold divine services at the Catholic church tomorrow, 15th inst. at 10 a.m. An immense freight wagon of eight mule power hove in sight Thursday, bound northward. We immediately interviewed the captain and learned that he was en route from San Diego to Los Angeles to engage in freighting between the latter place and Owens river.

San Diego is agitated over an eagle which lately alighted on a flagstaff in that city. It is claimed to be an omen of the coming railroad and to mark the exact location of the terminus. The Union says: "This belief was confirmed by its taking wing and going in a straight line to the railroad lands and returning to the flag-pole again, where it remained all night. At daylight it disappeared, leaving the superstitious to discuss the object of the eagle's visit. Rome's Goose and Po'ra Raven were used as powerful arguments on both sides." Ben Dreyfus, Esq., returned from San Francisco by yesterday's steam er. Gov. Whitaker came in from Buena Park on Monday and dropped in to see us. He has been "dead again" the disorganization of the co-operative sugar company all along and deplores the disincorporation of the enterprise. Many rumors are in circulation to the effect that the Santa Fe railroad company will shortly build a railroad from Santa Ana or Newport through Westminster to Long Beach. Mr. Chynoweth and Judge Ballard are touring the county in support of the Republican ticket, and on Monday night were at Newhope. Last Friday evening they spoke at Magnolia and Saturday evening at Yorba, where an old fashioned political meeting was held and much enthusiasm prevailed. Each is confident of being elected by a safe majority. The Southern Pacific company has erected an automatic signal bell on the corner of West and South streets to warn travelers of approaching trains. Claude Stough is singing "Ma Angelfine." Who says Anaheim doesn't keep up with the procession. ANAHEIM GAZETTE BIG PIMENTO CROP AT GARDEN GROVE Fifteen Hundred Acres of Sweet Peppers Harvested Ten years ago the first American pimentos were planted as an experiment at Garden Grove. This year 1500 acres of the sweet peppers are to be harvested. The pimento industry in southern California embraces the growing and canning of thousands of tons of the product. Hundreds of people are employed in the work. So new is the pimento in the United States that American dictionaries of five years ago do not contain the word. A few pimentos are raised in Georgia and Tennessee, but the bulk of the American output comes from a few square miles in southern California. Around Garden Grove the pimento finds the soil and climatic conditions that it demands. Here, in a frostless area eight or ten miles wide, are found the cool evening and warm days essential to its proper development. In its sensitiveness to frost the pimento is similar to the tomato and will show its blasting effect when a human being would be unconscious of the fact there had been even a touch of frost. The pimento requires a black alluvial soil "rich as the Nile" as one grower phrased it. Such a soil is found around Garden Grove. Another fact in making the Garden Grove district ideal for the growing of pimentos is the seemingly inexhaustible supply of underground irrigation water, which by means of pumping plants on the ranches is constantly at the service of the grower. Depending upon ditch irrigation water is too uncertain for the pimento grower, because the pimento requires MAKE RELISHES AND PICKLES FROM LAST GREEN TOMATOES In autumn after the canning is over there is often a surplus of unripened tomatoes; cabbage, onions and green peppers, too, are usually plentiful at this season and help to make good mixed pickle. They can be used in relatively equal proportions, except for onion. Half as much onion as any other ingredient is usually best. The United States department of agriculture has tested this recipe: Chop up— 1 gallon of green tomatoes. 1 gallon of cabbage. 1-2 gallon of onions. 24 large green peppers. 12 large red peppers. Put all together in a vessel, cover with water, add about 1 pint of salt, and let stand over night. In the morning put all in a bag and drain thoroughly. After draining add 1 pint of white mustard seed. In a separate vessel boil 1 gallon of vinegar with 1-3-4 pounds of brown sugar. When boiling hot, pour over the chopped vegetables. Put all on the stove together and cook about 15 minutes. Put in jars and seal while hot. Many persons like spices in a chopped pickle. Green Tomato Pickle— 1 gallon green tomatoes. 1-2 dozen large onions. 3 cups brown sugar. 1-2 lemon. 3 pods of red pepper. 3 cups vinegar. 1 tablespoon whole black pepper. 1 tablespoon whole cloves. 1 tablespoon whole all-spice. 1 tablespoon celery seed (crushed). 1 tablespoon mustard seed. 1 tablespoon ground mustard. Slice the tomatoes and onions thin. Sprinkle over them one-half cup of salt and let stand over night in a crock or enameled vessel. Tie the pepper, Castor oil only tastes worse when you try to improve its flavor. All grouches are like castor oil. NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS OR BIDS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim will receive sealed proposals or bids up to eight o'clock P.M. on Thursday, the 13th day of October, A.D. 1921, for furnishing the City of Anaheim with two 5-passenger touring car automobiles in accordance with the Board of Trustees of the City of the Board of Trustees of the Cit yof Anaheim on the 8th day of September, A.D. 1921, and which are on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Anaheim. Each bid must be accompanied by a check payable to the City of Anaheim, certified by bya responsible bank, in a sum equal to not less than ten per cent of said bid, or by a bond executed by two good and sufficient sureties, who shall justify in double the amount of said bond, conditioned upon the execution of a contract and furnishing the bond required within ten days after the acceptance of such bid. Within ten days after the acceptance of such bid, the successful bidder shall enter into a contract with the City of Anaheim for the furnishing of said automobiles in accordance with said specifications, and shall, within said time, furnish the City of Anaheim a bond executed by two good and sufficient sureties, who shall justly in double the amount of said bond, or by a corporate surety thereunto duly authorized, and such bond shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, and shall be conditioned upon the faithful performance of said contract. The Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim reserves the right to reject any and all bids or to accept or reject any part of any bid. grower phrased it. Such a soil is found around Garden Grove. Another fact in making the Garden Grove district ideal for the growing of pimentos is the seemingly inexhaustible supply of underground irrigation water, which by means of pumping plants on the ranches is constantly at the service of the grower. Depending upon ditch irrigation water is too uncertain for the pimento grower, because the pimento requires intensive cultivation and responds so quickly to good attention that a single hot day when the soil is too dry will rob the grower of a season's profit. During the summer days the fields are irrigated every ten days and the plants require frequent irrigation during the harvesting season, which lasts from the middle of September until frost. So tender is the plant that the breaking off of a protecting twig means the blasting of the pimento guarded bp it. Around Garden Grove the raising of pimentos is coming more and more into the hands of Americans, who are rapidly replacing the Japanese as growers. Trucks visit the fields at Garden Grove in the early morning or late evening and transport the fruit to a canning factory, where it is sealed in cans only a few hours after it has been carefully picked. Canned in this way before the delicate fruit has a chance to lose any of its freshness the resulting product is as perfect as the art of the canner is able to make it. GAS TO BE USED IN FIGHTING RODENTS Extermination of Pests Will Be Made Easy by Government Deadly gases, which the chemical warfare service devised for destroying men during the world war, may soon be available to ranchers of Orange county for use in their battle against squirrels and gophers, according to word reaching here from Washington. Dispatches stated that the chemical warfare service in the nation's capital was at work to produce poisons that will rid the country not only of such rodents, but also of the boll weevil and other pests. "The developments of war must be implements of peace," Brigadier-General Amos A. Fries, chief of the chemical warfare of the army, said in announcing at Washington the coming 1-2 lemon, 3 pods of red pepper. 3 cups vinegar. 1 tablespoon whole black pepper. 1 tablespoon whole cloves. 1 tablespoon whole all-spice. 1 tablespoon celery seed (crushed). 1 tablespoon mustard seed. 1 tablespoon ground mustard. Slice the tomatoe and onions thin. Sprinkle over them one-half cup of salt and let stand over night in a crock or enameled vessel. Tie the pepper, cloves, allspice and celery seed in a cheesecloth bag. Slice the lemon and chop two pepper puds very fine. Drain the tomato and onion well. Add all seasoning except one pepper pod to the vinegar, than add the tomato and onion. Cook for one-half hour, stirring gently at intervals to prevent burning. Remove spice bag to prevent darkening product. Pack in jar and garnish with slender strips of the red pepper, placing them vertically on the opposite sides of each jar. Process for 15 minutes. Another use for green tomatoes is mock mincemeat, which will be relished in winter pies. Slice up a quantity of green tomatoes and sprinkle well with salt. Put into a bag and hang up to drip all night. The salt left on the tomatoes need not be washed off. In the morning take equal weights of sugar and tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are thoroughly done. To 7 pounds of the mixture of tomatoes and sugar add 3 pounds of seedless raisins, with mace and cinnamon to suit the taste. Cook a short time after adding the seasoning and put into jars. This will keep without being sealed and will make delicious pies, which many consider as good as those from ordinary mincemeat.
