IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper From Gazette of April 20, 1872. We learn from Mr. Mitchell, late road overseer of this township, that the bridge to which we referred last week, was built of the best material that could be procured for the purpose. There were four stringers, each 4x6 inches, and as they were only 8 feet in length it certainly seems as though this should have been strong enough for all ordinary purposes. Mr. Mitchell informs us that it was broken by a 12 or 14 mule team, drawing a heavier load than usually appears upon this road. A fine little rain (nearly half an inch) fell Tuesday morning and improved the appearance of things generally. Quite a sprinkle also occurred on Thursday and served to keep the ground moist and preserve the fresh green appearance of the vegetation. Our Fish man was in town Thursday and found ready sale for his fish at 20 cents per pound. The rain storm of the valley seems to have been a snow storm in the mountains, for the tall range is covered, pretty well down, with a clear, white coat that makes things refreshingly cool these mornings, even at this distance. Married—At Santa Ana, April 14th, by the Rev. R. C. Freyer, W. H. Spencer to Miss Jennie English. A package or wedding cake accompanied the above announcement, which has been From Gazette of April 22, 1897. Miss Sue Sharp, of Oceanside, is visiting Miss Annie Irvin and will remain during the summer. Misses Pauline Nemetz and Addle Wallop came down from the Los Angeles normal school to spend Easter with their folks here. They returned yesterday. Mrs. Thos. Deering (nee Lewis) arrived from Albuquerque on Tuesday evening, and will remain for a sojourn of some weeks with her folks. Sydmer Ross was in from his ranch at Fullerton on Monday and made this office a pleasant visit. The social festivities of the post-lenten season were ushered in on Tuesday evening by the callco ball given at the opera house by the local council of the Fraternal Aid Society, which was an enjoyable and largely at tended affair. The ladies in most part ignored the callco feature of the function and appeared in lovely evening toilette. The men were in evening costume, our young friend, Dickel, being the only exception, he being arrayed in a gorgeous suit of resplendent linen. The grand march was led by Fred Lewis and his sister, Mrs. Deering. Supper was served at midnight by Delmonico Hatfield. The following committees had charge of the ball: Reception committee—Mrs. Fred Mickle, Mrs. M. Nebelung, Mrs. C. Spencer, R. Melrose, H. Cahen. Floor committee—Mrs. Clara Bittner, T. S.

Spurgeon to Miss Jennie English. A package of wedding cake accompanied the above announcement, which has been duly interviewed by the editor and at taches of the office. The editor decided that it was constitutional, the foreman thought is was better than "plain the devil said it was "bully." We congratulate both parties to this happy union upon securing a capital prize in the matrimonial lottery. Mr. Spurgeon is one of the most able, courteous and popular of our business men and his beautiful bride is a lady who combines personal grace and elegance with the rarest qualities of mind and heart. The Gazette extends its heartiest good wishes to the newly married couple, for happiness, prosperity on long life. At 7 o'clock last Tuesday evening Senor Rapheal Guirado, father-in-law of Governor Downey, departed this life at his home in Los Angeles, after lingering illness of several months, a ripe age of three score years and ten. The deceased was a native of this state, and was highly respected by all who knew him. DeWitt C. Lawrence, of Los Angeles, favored us with a visit on Saturday last. Mr. Lawrence, who was formerly on the Gazette, but now of the Star, is preparing to start a newspaper in Havillah, Kern county, whose people feel the need of a newspaper organ to properly represent their interests. It will be called the Havillah Miner. Volney E. Howard, Esq., of the Los Angeles bar, passed through yesterday morning on his way home from San Diego. We are glad to see Mr. Theodore Cosad, of Santa Ana, out again this week, after his late severe illness. His many friends will rejoice to hear of his recovery. Notice! The citizens or Anaheim are hereby invited to assemble at the Planters' hotel on Saturday evening. W. J. Cole was in from his ranch at Hardscrabble yesterday and happening to be cornered by a crowd or investigators was asked how it came that his ranch, which is one of the finest in the county, was given its hard-sounding name. Mr. Cole said that the game was not of his selection, but atached itself to the property years before he settled upon it. The place was called Clark's corner in the early days, and something like twenty years ago, four farmers settled upon the land and each began operations by putting down an artesian well. They made their first payment, but when the time came for the second were unable to pay. One night shortly after defaulting their second payment pulled up stakes and moved away, taking everything movable with them, there being nothing left to show they had ever been there, except the artesian wells, which are flowing yet. From that day to this the place has been known as Hardscrabble, because these four farmers had a hard scrabble to get out with what they could carry off. Mr. Cole came years afterward and he has developed the place into one of the finest dairy farms in the county. The postoffice will be enlarged by the addition of fifty letter boxes on one side and forty paper boxes on the other. The office is greatly crowded and the enlargement which Postmaster Gardiner has prevailed upon Landlord Foderman to make, will be appreciated by the working force of mail clerkes. H. A. McWilliams has the job of putting in the boxes. Miss Inez Tarr took her pupils on an outing to Santiago canyon on Saturday. The youngsters report a perfectly lovely time. Our young friend William Schwenckert, is engaged in raising strawberries between the trees on his place on toilettes. The men were in evening costume, our young friend, Dickel, being the only exception, he being arrayed in a gorgeous suit of resplendent linen. The grand march was led by Fred Lewis and his sister, Mrs. Deering. Supper was served at midnight by Delmonico Hatfield. The following committees had charge of the ball: Reception committee—Mrs. Fred Mickle, Mrs. M. Nebelung, Mrs. C. Spencer, R. Melrose, H. Cahren. Floor committee—Mrs. Clara Bittner, T. S.

The citizens of Anaheim are hereby invited to assemble at the Planters' hotel on Saturday evening, April 27, 1872, for the purpose of nominating candidates to be elected at the next city election, May 6, 1872. A. Kohler, Robert Ashcroft, Oscar George, John Fischer, S. J. Davis and others. It is rumored that Quantrell, the famous guerrilla of the late civil war, was seen in Los Angeles a few days ago. The San Diego Union learns that the directors of the Los Angeles and San Diego railroad company are industriously attempting to attract notice to their enterprise and that they have hopes of being able to effect arrangements looking towards the building of the road in a short time. We understand that an effort is being made to have the San Diego stage make the distance between here and San Diego in 24 instead of 36 hours, as at present. A bag of northern mail for Anaheim came up from San Diego on yesterday's stage, and we were made happy and rejoiced in the receipt of Los Angeles dailies six days old and other mail of corresponding freshness which had likewise gone astray. LEMON GROWERS MAKING A PROFIT Through a combination of conditions, one of which, it is hoped, will not be in the combination again, lemon growers of California who have saved from from low temperatures will beat the foreign importer this year, and will receive a satisfactory price for their crops. This from the California Fruit Growers' exchange. The conditions through which the unexpected happened in the lemon industry this year are, first an epiphytic influence which created a demand for lemon second, higher cost of importing lemons due to greater growing and harvesting costs abroad; third, abnormal consumption of lemons by householders generally for the making of drinks and pastries. "It appears to me that the lemon growers will have a good year," said T. H. Powell, in charge of lemon sales for the exchange; "this in spite of the fact we will ship more lemons in 1922 than we ever did before, excepting last year, and of the fact that the importations are very heavy. New York lemon importers are dumping shipload after shipload of Sicilian lemons in New York and Boston at from $2.90 to $3.10 per box, and we know that it costs them $3.75 per box this year to place these same lemons on the docks, owing to higher cultural and harvesting costs abroad. We are satisfied with present conditions, and will continue to ship heavily." Estimates compiled by General Manager E. G. Dezell, or the exchange, indicate that the exchange growers will ship after March 1, this year, 7311 carloads of lemons, as against 9778 last year, 7227 in 1920 and 6780 carloads in 1919. Before the frost, the estimated crop of California was 15,000 carloads, and the marketing problem for lemons was engaging the close attention of exchange officials, who saw no hope of continuous and profitable prices with such a crop to market. The average shipments of lemons for the last five months were 40% lower than the previous year. WEST BROADWAY M. E.

Before the frost, the estimated crop of California was 15,000 carloads, and the marketing problem for lemons was engaging the close attention of exchange officials, who saw no hope of continuous and profitable prices with such a crop to market. The average shipments of lemons for the last five years was 7096 carloads per year, and the average for the previous five years was 2826 carloads per year. When the news that California lemon growers had suffered greatly from frost spread to New York in January importers spent the busiest day in their lives wiring abroad for full cargoes of lemons, and it seems in view of subsequent events, were not very careful about prices. For b. Italian points. Great cargoes of foreign lemons, most of them second grade, were loaded for American ports. In the meantime, when exchange agents had completed their survey of the groves, and found that the lemon crop saved from the frost would be almost as large as any ever shipped from California, their estimates were wired east, but according to General Manager Dezell, the importers thought the figures "bluff," and openly accused the California growers of trying to scare them out of the market. The importers increased their orders, and the figures of lemons brought from abroad are large. The imports from November 1 to March 1 were 128,050 boxes, as compared with 78,650 boxes for 1921. For the month of February, 63,950 boxes of Cilian lemons were put down in New York, and but 3424 boxes were imported in the same month last year. From March 1, to March 24, inclusive, imports were 111,925 boxes, as against 47,250 boxes during the same period last year. The consumption of lemons since last September has been enormous and unexamined in this country. During the period between September 1 and February 28, according to the exchange figures, 1,779,240 boxes were either shipped by the exchange or imported. In 1921, which was the record year for California shipments, 1,589,844 boxes were absorbed by the market. In 1920, the imports and California exchange shipments amounted to 1,690,933 boxes. The supply of lemons in January was greater than during the previous five years.
