IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 1, 1876 Straw hats were in demand yesterday. The only thing that reconciles us to the heat of the weather is the thought that it will hasten the advent of the grape season, which affords to much delicious fruit. No one that has lived in Anaheim during that part of the year can forget how fine the grapes are here. The orange crop of next season promises, it is said, to be unusually large. We were shown yesterday a quantity of honey which had been taken from a deposit of it made by a swarm of bees which have squatted a claim in the roof of the Masonic hall building. The places selected by bees are sometimes very singular. Not long ago a swarm of bees was discovered to have filled with honey an empty tomb in the Los Angeles burying ground. A telegram was received by Theodore Reiser yesterday afternoon that Dr. Browne, grand master of the Masonic Grand Lodge of California, and Mr. Shaffer will visit Anaheim today. The auction of the goods of Savin & Gaillard, made yesterday by Edward Lyon, lasted nearly all day and attracted a great many curiosity-seekers. As usual, many bought things for which they had no need, merely because they thought them so very cheap. The sale will be continued this morning at 9:30 o'clock.

Isaac Cohen has returned from San Francisco with a fine assortment of goods. His ad will appear next week. Orange Items—Constable Bowers sold four head of cattle today at 1 p.m. His office will probably pan out beyond expectations. We notice John Bush, Jonathan Watson and Mr. Carter on our streets today. Is there anyone left in upper Santa Ana? Nap Donovan, the editor of the to be Santa Ana Valley News, was in to see us today. He reports most of the material on hand, and the paper will be issued in one month or less. Then he will give the county a thorough canvass. We bespeak for him a liberal patronage. We notice Dr. Burtnett in town every day. His reputation as a capable M. D. is becoming widely known. A movement is on foot to open a direct road north to Burrell point corresponding with Main, or rather Burrell street. It is a good move and should be carried into effect immediately. The careless mode of staking horses, cows, calves, etc., in the public highway in such a manner as to blockade the street with ropes is very dangerous, and there should be a law holding the owner responsible for all damages, making it a criminal offense when life is lost, limbs broken, etc. Mr. Bancroft's artesian well which is being bored at his ranch, about four miles from town, is now about 300 feet deep. He intends to go further, though by piercing the pipe now he could obtain a flow of five inches. He reports it to have cost him so far something over $700. Tom Shelley has bought the Boege barn, near the depot, and will move his teams into it. Judge and Mrs. J. W. Clark last week celebrated the thirty-third anniversary of their wedding. Ten cars of lumber for A. Guy Smith & Company came down with the train last night. We have received a letter from A. G. Cook, who is now on a visit to the States. Mr. Cook will represent The Gazette at the Centennial and will contribute to its columns a series of letters during the continuance of the great exhibition. Many allowances are to be made for a theatrical company acting under disadvantages which result from the lack of scenery and stage surroundings of large theaters. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the audience which assembled last night to hear Rip Van Winkle enjoyed the performance extravagantly, and we prophesy a full house tonight. Dr. Brooke of Los Angeles was in town yesterday. Mr. Caystile of the Mirror office and Will D. Gould also graced Anaheim with their presence.

Dr. Brooke of Los Angeles was in town yesterday. Mr. Caystile of the Mirror office and Will D. Gould also graced Anaheim with their presence. We are informed by a gentleman just from San Diego that the population of that county has received, within the last year, an accession of 2500. The city inhabitants have in that time increased 500. Mr. Byron Clark of Fairview deservedly boasts of having raised this season heads of cauliflower 18 inches in diameter, and a radish of a diameter of 10 inches. Who can beat that? The eucalyptus field on the railroad between this place and Los Angeles is in a flourishing condition, notwithstanding the evident alkali in the land. A company is being formed in Los Angeles to plant out 40 acres of forest trees in or near that city. George W. Barter will soon commence the publication of a paper at Brooklyn, Alameda county, to be called the Brooklyn Vidette. The members of the Episcopal congregation are to meet this afternoon nat 3 o'clock to take into further consideration the subject of building a church edifice on their lots in the Heiman & George addition. The increased amount of their building fund gives them a better hope of progress than they have had of late months. Still small congregations find the same difficulty in overcoming the necessarily great expenditures of building that individuals of small means experience where the necessary funds are gathered by hard work and self-denying effort on the part of a few people. The enterprise claims the sympathy of the enlightened community on grounds independent of the object the promoters have in view. A real sand storm kept every one in doors yesterday. The windmills about town did some vigorous pumping yesterday. DAYS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. (Copyright Applied for) 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 4, 1901 A smart shower of rain fell yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. As we went to press last evening appearances were good for more. Rain is needed and an inch or two of it would be worth millions to growing crops. Rival teams from Company E and the young men about town will play a game of baseball on the Lemon street grounds on Sunday afternoon next for a valuable trophy. The civilians have adopted the name "Olympics," and the club embraces such well-known players as Nick Hugo, Robert Mills, Joseph Backs, Frank Dyer, Stephen Rimpau, W. Churchill, William Friese and August Menzel. Members of the military team are: Ira McAuley, Otto Baum, Dave Bush, Gene Adams, Murry Paschall, Dick Zerman, Fred Rimpau, Herman Stock and Charley Woelke. A force of Sunset telephone workmen have been in town during the week, putting up new 40-foot poles and stringing copper wire thereon to accommodate the company's increasing volume of business hereabouts. Ed Atherton was in town from the ostrich farm on Monday. He stated there are only 74 birds upon the farm at present, 200 having been shipped to the farm at Phoenix. He has had poor luck in raising young ostriches for a year or two past and attributes it to the drouth of the past few years. A number of the birds are setting now. And he hopes to bring off a number EXCLUSIVE "Does your wife enjoy being a voter?" "I'm not sure," replied Mr. Meektoll. "She says she hates the sight of bellig seen at the same boils with some of the people who are voting nowadays." It is said that the Hookah pipe is rapidly becoming obsolete in India, as the natives have all taken up cigarette smoking. Thus, slowly but surely civilisation is getting in its work.

Ed Atherton was in town from the ostrich farm on Monday. He stated there are only 74 birds upon the farm at present, 200 having been shipped to the farm at Phoenix. He has had poor luck in raising young ostriches for a year or two past and attributes it to the drouth of the past few years. A number of the birds are setting now. And he hopes to bring off a number of young before long. An ostrich sits upon her eggs 60 days before hatching. Mr. Atherton says he ought to have good luck with his young birds this year, as oranges and cabbages are plentiful, and these the birds consider rare delicacies. An orange is picked up by them whole and dropped upon the ground and picked up again until it is sufficiently mashed, when it is swallowed at a gulp. Corn is fed to the birds in winter to keep them warm. The birds now on the ranch are in prime condition and the industry has been unusually successful for many seasons past. Mr. Rae made a trip to Perris this week, going over on Friday and returning on Monday. He visited over night with C. E. Groat, who has 100 men employed in constructing 21 miles of cement ditch and pipe lines for the Temescal Water Company of Corona. Groat has already excavated three miles of ditch. He expects to put on 800 men soon and rush the work to completion. Along the line of ditch is located a miniature tent city wherein the men employed on the job are fed and lodged. A number of young men from this city are employed and are domiciled in a tent labeled "chamber of horrors." The ditch being constructed will convey water from nine wells at Elsinore to Corona, where it will be used for irrigation. The Temescal Water Company will issue bonds in the sum of $350,000 to complete the work, refund its indebtedness and make other improvements. Mrs. Jacob Stern, assisted by other ladies of Fullerton, is arranging to give a concert soon as a benefit to the free library and reading room.

One of these fine days we expect to see them back in Anaheim to remain permanently. Professor Bird of the West Anaheim school, while playing pom-pullaway with the boys on Friday during the afternoon recess, had the bad luck to fall against the school fence, breaking a bone in his left hand. As a consequence, the professor carries his hand in a sling. E. D. Stoddard of Los Angeles, formerly of Stewartville, Minn., was in town on Monday, accompanied by his father, who, 16 years ago, purchased the Siebert place now occupied by Mr. Eastman, and two years later sold it for $4000. Both returned to Los Angeles on the noon train. Joe Reid has gone to Redlands to take a job in a drug score. Gus Hansen was in town on Monday from his Orangethorpe ranch. He reports beets looking well over his way, and the season altogether greatly superior in every way to last year. William Bekemeier of St. Louis, Mo., and Charlie Feiker of Quincy, Ill., are in town, guests of Mr. Brunworth. After a week's sojourn they will go to San Diego for a short stay. Samuel Kraemer was in town a few days ago and, speaking of the Utah railroad, said he had offered three acres free for depot grounds and right-of-way through his ranch at Placentia, if the road would build that way. The construction of the Utah road into Placentia would result in the building of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe into that country, giving them splendid shipping facilities. Sam looks forward to big things for Placentia during the present year. The Magnolia school is closed this week, many of the pupils being at work in the beet fields. On Good Friday the three-hour services, from 12 m. to 3 p.m., will be held at St. Michael's church.
