IN THE DAYS OF I Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cent Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Histo of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County (Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FEBRUARY 26, 1876 A number of citizens collected at Enterprise hall last night in response to a call for a meeting to discuss the matter of contemplated incorporation. John Fischer was called to the chair and Judge S. J. Davis to the position of secretary of the meeting. A resolution was introduced in favor of reviving the former city charter. After some discussion the resolutions were passed, 21 votes being cast in favor of them. The meeting was then dismissed, after the passage of a resolution that the proceedings be forwarded to the Los Angeles county representatives as the expression of the sentiment of the people of Anaheim. Richard Heimann will ship 100 orange trees to Stockton today. Mr. Beaudry, the Los Angeles mayor, a few days ago fined a man $60 for striking a woman. Not being able to pay it, the man went to jail. Soon after the woman appeared and paid his fine. Five or six horses were sold yesterday at auction at prices ranging from $5 or $6 and upward.

Some of our plugs would be dear at any price and discredit the adage, "One must not look a gift horse in the mouth," for a person receiving one would be well justified in not accepting it. C. Tustin has gone to San Francisco. Captain Black informs us that he will commence tomorrow to haul up to Anaheim from the Landing the lumber from the bark Nick Biddle, which our readers will remember came to grief on the night of the severe storm. He is willing to pay $5 per thousand feet for hauling. Perhaps some of our farmer friends who have idle teams might make a profitable contract with him to do the work. There are thought to be 400,000 feet. An unmarried daughter of General Robert E. Lee is on a visit to a friend in Los Angeles. Robert Michel has rented the building adjoining Enterprise hall and will open a barroom and cigar stand therein. Lost—Between Planters hotel and the depot, a small black memorandum book. A liberal reward will be paid for its return to John Fischer at Planters hotel. The public is urgently requested to comply with the call for a meeting, published in another place, of the citizens for the purpose of taking under consideration some measure for the building of a schoolhouse, the present school accommodations being insufficient. The fire bell will be rung as a reminder at the time. Failure to comply with this great need will seriously disadvantage the cause of education here. An immense mail came in last night. Mr. Ford, the gentlemanly and accommodating assistant postmaster, told us that for Anaheim alone there were between 500 and 600 letters, by actual count. The Episcopal minister not being in Anaheim on Sunday, many of his congregation, as well as the regular attendants of the Presbyterian church listened to the excellent sermon of Mr. Allis. T. Farley of Los Nietos carried into Los Angeles, for shipment today by the Kalorama, 500 hogs. Thus pork goes to San Francisco in living shape, is butchered and cured there and, after passing through many hands, finally gets back down here, and the actual consumer has to pay on the price all the expenses of its roundabout journey. This could all be saved by having a pork packery of our own here. We venture the assertion that no business would yield such profits as such a one established in the city of Los Angeles. T.

The dust which annoys every one so much now is but a foretaste of what it will be in the summer. It and the street staking of stock, and the bad condition of the sidewalks—all these go to show the necessity for incorporation. Con Howe of Westminster furnishes us with the following notes from the colony: The new hotel building will soon be commenced. The building will be 30x80 feet, exclusive of kitchen, and will be two stories high. A livery stable will also be built near the hotel. The builders are Aldrich and Gardiner. Three sets of artesian tools are now at work on various parts of the colony.—A. G. Cook will leave for the East next week and will remain to witness the centennial. We are indebted to our friend, S. J. Davis, for the following report: In pursuance to a call published in the Anaheim Gazette, a meeting of the citizens of Anaheim assembled at Enterprise hall this evening. John Fischer was elected president and S. J. Davis secretary. Mr. Fischer stated the object of the meeting to be for the purpose of devising ways and means to purchase a lot in the city of Anaheim, and for the erection of a schoolhouse thereon. Theodore Rimpau, one of the trustees of the Anaheim school district, spoke in favor of the measure and of the necessity existing in the district for a large schoolhouse sufficient to accommodate all the school children in the district. J. M. Guinn read a bill which he had prepared to present to the legislature, empowering the mayor and common council of the city of Anaheim to issue bonds for $10,000, payable in 14 years, which bill was read, and on motion it was amended to read payable in 20 years at 9 per cent per annum, interest payable annually. On motion it was agreed that the amount of bonds be raised to $15,000, instead of $10,000, and Mr. Guinn was instructed to write to Senator Bush and Judge E. Evey, requesting them to use their best endeavors to forward the bill to renew our city charter and for the passage of the bill, as amended, for school purposes adopted this evening in mass meeting. John Fischer, President. S. J. Davis, Secretary.

Robert Thiele was in town from Los Angeles on Monday, spending the day with friends. He was the guest of Herman Dickel. B. J. Snodgrass was in town from the west end a day or two ago and made us a friendly call. Mr. Melrose has moved his office to the Metz block, one door east of Mr. Bruce's. H. Deutsch was in town from Los Angeles a day or two ago. He thinks Anaheim is on the eve of a building boom. W. W. Scott has returned from Point Conception, where he was employed with the Southern Pacific force of carpenters, erecting depots on the new surf line. Governor Ritchie of Maryland is said to be a receptive candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, which proves at least that he isn't much afraid of anything. Brooklyn may gain a state senator, says a New York headline. But that isn't much of an accomplishment, at that. SUMMONS IN THE JUSTICE COURT OF ANAHEIM TOWNSHIP IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ORANGE.

He thinks Anaheim is on the eve of a building boom. W. W. Scott has returned from Point Conception, where he was employed with the Southern Pacific force of carpenters, erecting depots on the new surf line. Captain Williams and wife, who have spent the winter here, departed on Monday for Los Angeles, where they will remain some weeks before their departure for their home in Pittsburg. August Backs and August Baum have been papering August Freise’s saloon, which has been purchased by George Schuchardt of Los Angeles. A new flooring has been laid and the premises are being renovated throughout. Mr. Freise will retire to his ranch east of town and go into the raising of walnuts. Captain Ahlborn informs us that the brigade commander, General C. F. A. Last, will be here some time in March on a tour of inspection. The exact date of his coming is not set, but the boys are bustling around getting themselves in shape. Fred Rimpau drove to Los Angeles on Sunday, returning on Monday evening. The roads beyond the Orange county border he reports in bad condition. The wheels go bogging in many places to the hubs. The trip was made in four hours and a half. George Bauer, Sr., returned on Sunday from Walters, River-side county, where he has been visiting for several months with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. George Curtis. Mr. Bauer reports the country looking fine on all sides and that he enjoyed his vacation to the fullest extent. W. T. Salvin visited with friends in town during the week. He has quite recovered from his experiences while snowbound in the San Bernardino mountains a fortnight ago, when he and a party of friends coming out from the mines narrowly escaped with their lines. John Kellenberger and Everett Davis, two of the popular young men of Buena Park, have opened a meat market in that thriving burg and announce they will keep the best of meats, sausages, hams, bacon and lard of their own rendering. The boys are experienced butchers and their popularity ought to insure them a lucrative patronage. Emil Dreyfus, son of the late Ben Dreyfus, arrived in town from San Francisco on Monday for the purpose of considering various offers for property owned by the Dreyfus estate in this city. Mr. Dreyfus is one of San Francisco’s rising young business men, and is recognized as one of the shrewdest young men in the wholesale district. He returned to his home on the afternoon train, taking with him several offers for his property here. These will be submitted to the family and an early answer forwarded. Mr. Neff reports a rise of 15 inches of water in his well since the first of December. Last summer surface water lowered six and one-half feet, reaching the lowest point recorded in the history of the county. Mr. Neff has recently lowered his pump several feet in the pit. The water now stands nine inches below days as served elsewhere; and you are notified that unless you appear and answer as above required, the plaintiff will take judgment for any money or damages demanded in the complaint as arising upon the contract or will apply to the court for any other relief demanded in the complaint.

Birch Street Santa Ana California “Buy in Orange County” I Know Women Mr. Neff reports a rise of 15 inches of water in his well since the first of December. Last summer surface water lowered six and one-half feet, reaching the lowest point recorded in the history of the county. Mr. Neff has recently lowered his pump several feet in the pit. The water now stands nine inches below it and is rising at the rate of an inch per day. He is of opinion the water will this spring rise to where it was before it began to recede. With copious rains in March the rise may be even greater. Yet a rise of 20 feet would be hailed with delight by the orchardist. W. I. Roach of San Francisco and his sister, Mrs. Gustave Heiman of Los Angeles, arrived on Monday in response to telegrams announcing the serious illness of their uncle, Mr. Guenther. Mr. Roach returned to his home on the evening train. Mrs. Heiman remains to care for the invalid. Mr. Guenther is one of Anaheim's pioneers. He is aged 80 years, and has resided here for 40 years. St. Michael's guild will meet at the residence of Mrs. M. L. Rogers on Thursday afternoon, March 7, at 2 o'clock. The Ladies' Aid of the Presbyterian church will meet this (Thursday) afternoon at the home of Mrs. Grimshaw. The street sprinkler is out again—its first appearance for over a month. The news of the death of ex-Senator Stephen M. White, which occurred at his residence in Los Angeles early on Thursday morning last, was received by his friends in Anaheim with keenest regret and sorrow. Admittedly the foremost man of the state, of brilliant genius and rare intellectual attainments, that he is dead at the early age of 48 years is indeed to be deplored. Carpenters McWilliams, Stone and Dunn have been engaged during the week in erecting an addition to the building on Center street recently occupied by Mr. Melrose and sold by him last week to M. Barborka. M. Barborka has made an offer for the Dreyfus property on Center street now occupied by McCullom and Judge Shanley, beginning at the west line of the Helmsen property and running 36 feet to the land recently purchased by R. Spoerl. M. Barborka will erect a brick building on one or the other of the lots. Always bear in mind that if you let the train go by the passengers will look out the window, see you waiting patiently, and say in their minds: "Now there's a motorist who has some sense!—Toledo Blade.
