IN THE DAYS OF I 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 (Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1876 Today the grand Centennial Exposition, commemorative of the Declaration of Independence, will be formally opened with all due pomp and ceremony. The exposition will be the grandest the world has ever seen. But it is not as an exposition of wares and merchandise only that it will be remarkable. It is because by their official assistance at our centennial celebration, all the Powers of the earth will formally recognize our equality with the best of them. Nowhere in the history of the world can we find a parallel case to ours. A short century ago a young colony, struggling on the one hand against a tyrannical step-mother, on the other against a horde of savages—we today rear our head proudly among the chief nations of the earth. Today England's haughty Queen sends her representatives to our Exposition, and she herself and her Imperial and Royal daughters send specimens of their handiwork to exhibit side by side with those of their Republican sisters. The savage has given way to civilization. The vast region of unexplored forest and prairie is dotted with peaceful towns and villages. The whistle of the locomotive is heard from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from St. Paul to New Orleans. The telegraph wire not only stretches over the land, but is buried under the mighty ocean, connecting us with the world beyond. We enter upon our second century in the full possession of youth and strength. Who will venture to predict what we shall achieve in another hundred years. The American of today has good reason to be proud of his nationality—God The school for the erection in this city. My contract, their bids were some $271 terminated to await was broken for. Mme. Helen Europe with her appear upon the she will not act not good. "I sh is now in Austra part of Poland she intends to are indefinite a story that she w is untrue. County Re Kansas, to attend is now in session sixty days. Mr the same place Mr. Meyer of the Idaho Bakery will commence the manufacture of ice cream today, and he intends to keep a full supply on hand all summer. We have been asked to request the hot and feverish public not to apply for ice cream before 9 o'clock this morning, as it will be that hour ere it is ready. A most elegant piece of workmanship can be seen at the jewelry store of R. Luedke, on Center street. It is a clock made by Mr. Luedke in 1852, for which he was offered at that time a fifty vara lot in San Francisco, now worth $100,000. The clock is valued at $500. Ex-Governor Downey and wife left Los Angeles on Tuesday for the Centennial. Joe Goodrich has bought the milk route from Lum Smith. Jonas J. Dyer will commence running a new truck line tomorrow. Orders can be left on the slates at Plato's or at Cahen & Willard's store. Mr. Cohen of the Washington market has guarded himself and the balance of the beef against flies by putting wire doors to his shop on Center street. A visit to our little, dingy schoolhouse is enough to convince anyone of the real necessity of an entire new building on a much more extended scale. Mr. Snodgrass has started in at his shop at the depot, and will endeavor to win the patronage of the citizens of Anaheim by furnishing them with none but the very best of meat. J. H. Short has been engaged to superintend the establishment. The first number of the Santa Ana Valley News, Nap Donovan publisher, made its appearance Saturday. It is a six column paper, and is exceedingly neat typographically. Its contents show Mr. Donovan to be possessed of high literary capacity. We hope and believe that he will prosper in his enterprise, as the growing section where the paper is published requires just such a journal as the News to bring its resources prominently before the world. A curiously constructed one-wheeled wagon passed through town yesterday morning, which excited considerable attention. Some came to the conclusion that it was a roadometer and some asserted that it was the great Barnum's "What-is-it." The price of water for irrigating in Orange has been raised from 40 to 50 cents per hour. Arthur Heiman has bought the interest of St. John and Miner in the Planters hotel.

Bixby was among the arrivals by train from Los Angeles last evening. We had a call yesterday from Mr. Gardner of the firm of Gardner & Aldrich of Westminster. These gentlemen have built a fine commodious hotel in the colony and are now prepared to receive an unlimited number of guests. In a few days they intend to have a coach run between Westminster and the depot on the arrival and departure of trains. A petition is in circulation for the appointment of Mr. Breed as justice of the peace in the place of S. Randall. A. Bailey and D. W. C. Cowan will also be candidates for the position. A grand ball will be given at the Tivoli Garden on Sunday. Mr. Conrad knows how to get up a good time, and we are sure that all who attend will be pleased with their trip. The stages will start from the center of town every half hour during the day. The train of lumber cars which came down for A. Guy Smith & Company on Sunday was run off on the switch with too much force and, before it could be stopped, ran through the fence at the lower end of the lumber yard. Some slight damage was done to both cars and fence. Born—In Anaheim, on May 10, to the wife of M. A. Mendelson, a daughter.—In Anaheim, May 11, to the wife of W. A.

McWilliams & Dunn of this city were awarded the contract, their bid being $12,663.75. Smith & Conliff of Fullerton were some $271 lower, but upon a vote being taken it was determined to award the contract to the home contractors. Ground was broken for the building on Tuesday. Mme. Helena Modjeska sailed last week from New York for Europe with her husband, Count Bozenta. When she will reappear upon the American stage, if ever, is a question. She said she will not act in Europe, but is going to rest, as her health is not good. "I shall visit Cracow, the place of my birth. The town is now in Austria, and I am permitted to go there. It is Russia's part of Poland from which I am debarred." The madame said she intends to return to California to live, but her stage plans are indefinite and will be until September. A recently published story that she will sell her home at Arden in the Santiago canyon, is untrue. County Recorder W. M. Scott has departed for Lawrence, Kansas, to attend the general Council of the Fraternal Aid, which is now in session in that city. Mr. Scott will remain in the East sixty days. Mrs. W. A.

Peckstein is out of luck in the beet business. Harris & Falkenstein are preparing for quite an event in their store for the next two weeks.

His visit was for the purpose of learning whether Anaheim would have a Fourth of July celebration this year. If not, he informs us, Santa Ana will have one. As to the celebration here, nothing can be said, but as Santa Ana had the celebration last year, it is Anaheim's turn, and the purpose to defer preparations until it is known definitely whether we shall have one here is commendable. Probably the matter will be settled in a few days. We take especial pleasure in announcing the recovery of Dr. Yocum from his recent illness. He is now as well as ever. A Warning MRS.

Bowers Supremacy in Fine Steel In the percentage of Costly Chrome Vanadium Steel used, Dodge Brothers Motor Car outranks any other automobile in the world. REGARDLESS OF COST. It is everywhere conceded that Chrome Vanadium Steel is the toughest and most enduring metal ever created for use in the vital parts of a motor car. It may not be so well known, however, that Dodge Brothers Motor Car ranks FIRST IN THE WORLD in the use of this costly and fatigue-proof material. Dodge Brothers power assembly is almost entirely Chrome Vanadium—diamor, connecting rods, crankshaft, transmission, universal joint, drive shaft, differential and rear axle. Even the front axle is Chrome Vanadium—the entire steering unit—and EVERY leaf of the springs. In fact, wherever ANY manufacturer uses alloy steels, Dodge Brothers use costly Chrome Vanadium. And in numerous instances Dodge Brothers employ it where plain carbon steel, even in the costliest cars, is commonly thought sufficient. This has been true from the day Dodge Brothers built their first motor car. This explains why the words LONG LIFE, SAFETY AND DEPENDABILITY are habitually associated with the name Dodge Brothers wherever motor cars are serving mankind.
