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. (Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1876 It is with no small amount of satisfaction that we announce to our readers that Messrs. Heiman & Sorenson will within two or three weeks erect Alden drying works on vineyard lot No. C-2, near the residence of Mr. Sorenson. After a careful examination of the present and future prospects of this section as a fruit producing region, they have arrived at the conclusion that not only are drying works required for the disposal of the fruit crop of this year, but that the erection of such works will be followed by an increased planting of the fruit, which is in great demand by the proprietors of the drying works. Not only Anaheim will be benefitted by the proposed dryer, but the neighboring towns as well. Orange, Santa Ana, Tustin City, Westminster and other towns will rejoice with us. In another article we will give the capacity of the proposed works, together with such information as will be likely to interest fruit growers.

Anaheim seemed almost deserted on Tuesday and, had it not been for the liberal display of flags and bunting, one might easily have forgotten that it was the ever glorious Fourth of July. A large number of our citizens were enjoying themselves at the Tivoli Gardens, where Mr. Conrad had made every preparation for their comfort and pleasure. The barbecue at Santa Ana was well attended. It is estimated that over five hundred were present. Mr. Ellis was the orator of the day, and Mr. Morgan presented a meritorious composition. Many of the Santa Ana people came over to Anaheim in the evening to attend the ball and supper at the Planters hotel, and Arthur Heimann had a crowd which tried the capacity of his ball and dining-room to the utmost. About two hundred sat down to supper. At 12 o'clock there was a grand pyrotechnical display. The new missionary, who has been appointed to take the place of Rev. Mr. Neales in the Episcopal church is now on his way from the east, and is expected to arrive shortly; as he is spoken of as a man of superior talents, his presence in our midst will be quite an acquisition.

Copyright Applied for) 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1901 Celebration of the Nation's Holiday—The greatest concourse of people and the most elaborate celebration of the nation's holiday in the history of the town was the universal expression of opinion one heard on the glorious Fourth. There were easily 8000 people within the city's gates. The sidewalks were packed with a moving mass of humanity. At 11 o'clock the civic, military and industrial parade began. The procession was headed by Grand Marshal Athearn and Herman Dickel and John Hartung aides. Following are a few of the features: Company E, N. G. C., under command of Captain Ahlborn; carriage containing A. H. Cargill, president of the day, and Rt. Rev. George Montgomery, orator of the day; decorated bike buggy, Misses Alma Mills and Edith Bannerman; Harris & Falkenstein, decorated carriage; pretty girls of T. U. C. in tally-ho, attired in white and carrying white parasols; pony cart decorated with pampas plumes, driven by Raymond Nebelung; decorated bike buggy, Misses Hansen; ship of state, containing girls representing different states, Uncle Sam (Arch Henry) and with Alex Henry at the helm; Boston Bakery exhibit; Fraternal Brotherhood; Turn Verein; Arnold's cigar manufactory, making cigars, Arnold throwing cigars to friends on sidewalk; Frank Walters attired as Uncle Sam; orphans of St. Catherine's in float; also floats by Stern & Goodman, L. E. Miller, R. C. Mills, Bird Beebe and C. A. Strehle; Horrible Band, Mike Melrose as Sousa. Horrible! The parade was an hour in passing. After the procession had passed the crowd assembled in the Deutsch tract, where seats had been provided for 4000. Swine Sanitation Boosts Pork Yield Seven thousand pounds more pork from 10 litters of pigs represents the difference between raising pigs the ordinary way and raising them under the swine-sanitation system devised by the bureau of animal industry, United States department of agriculture, according to the experience of one Iowa farmer. He reports that he raised one lot of pigs from four sows under the conditions that had prevailed in the past on his farm. For comparison, he raised another lot from six sows under the system of swine sanitation, which prevents roundworms and related diseases and ailments. The first lot of sows farrowed 35 pigs, of which 19 survived and weighed 35 pounds each at the end of October, 1925. The second lot farrowed 41 pigs, of which 40 survived, one being killed by accident; the 40 pigs weighed 130 pounds each at the end of October. Reduced to pounds of pork, the results show that the four sows kept under ordinary conditions produced 655 pounds or pork, or 166 pounds per sow. The six sows kept under sanitary conditions produced, on the other hand, 5200 pounds of pork, an average of 866 pounds per sow. Thus one sow under sanitary conditions produced 700 pounds more pork than a similar sow handled in the ordinary manner. For 10 sows this would mean a total of 7000 pounds more pork due to sanitary conditions and methods of handling. Such a large difference is, of course, unusual but striking increases, both as to number of pigs saved and gains made, are common. The system of swine sanitation now well known through the Central West involves keeping young pigs away from permanent hog lots which are likely to be infested with the eggs of roundworms, a serious swine parasite. Instead, the pigs are raised on pasture under worm-free conditions. NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT Pacific Mausoleum Company, principal place of business, 211 West Charlrest Street, Anaholm, California. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Among the visitors from Los Angeles on the Fourth were Mrs. George Hull, Mrs. Anna De Frees, Mrs. F. C.

After the procession had passed the crowd assembled in the Deutsch tract, where seats had been provided for 4000. Long before the head of the parade reached the grounds every seat was taken. The oration by Bishop Montgomery was the outstanding feature of the program, and was listened to with rapt attention. It was an able discourse. At the close the crowd was invited to attend the barbecue, which was spread under the trees in the adjoining grove.

NEW INDUSTRY NIPPED IN BUD How the inability of an individual in New Orleans to distinguish between a toad and a bullfrog wrecked a budding California industry, is related in a letter received by the state department of agriculture from Prof. Silas Wentworth of Los Gatos, California. He writes in part: "At Los Gatos a company was formed to propagate frogs for the market. A shipment of the American bullfrog was ordered from New Orleans. Ponds were built, the eggs gathered and distributed and several million tadpoles obtained. "The company borrowed a large sum of money to build netted runways and more land was purchased to keep the millions of young. An estimate showed that the company would market at least 1,000,000 dozen frogs. Agencies were established in all of the larger cities. An advertising campaign was just about to be launched, when it was discovered that the stock sent from New Orleans was toads instead of frogs, and the company went "broke." Anemic children need iron-rich foods. Give egg yolk, prunes, raisins, orange juice, and green vegetables, especially spinach, as often as possible. Liver has been found especially valuable to persons having such trouble. Iron rust stains on white enamel may be removed with a solution of oxalic acid. Keep it out of the children's reach.
