(Copyright Applied for) 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1876 The assemblage at Kroeger's hall last evening was enough, if they were all Republicans, to carry this end of the county at least. Never in the history of Anaheim has there been so large a gathering at a political meeting.. John Fischer called the meeting to order and J. M. Guinn was elected as president, and twenty-three gentlemen from Anaheim, Orange, Tustin, Santa Ana and Westminster were elected as vice-presidents. The president introduced ex-Governor Woods, the orator of the Pacific coast. Governor Woods addressed the gathering in his usual forcible and entertaining manner, sometimes encouraging Republicans and at others throwing shot at the Democrats and exciting at every pause storms of applause. At the close of his speech three rousing cheers were given for Hayes and Wheeler and three for Governor Woods. The president, on behalf of the Republican Club of Anaheim, thanked the citizens of the various towns for their kind attendance and promised equal courtesies whenever occasion should offer. The Republican clubs of Orange, Santa Ana and Tustin turned out in force. A procession consisting of 154 persons and 36 carriages with flags, appropriate banners and with the Tustin city band at their head, marched into town and through our principal streets. For a political gathering, our Republican friends over the river can congratulate themselves.

S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century By Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1901 Some evenings ago, as Alfred Seale was returning from a party given at Brookshurst, he was accosted by a man who attempted to hold him up, with the assistance of two othere, in front of Isaac Lyon's residence on Center street. As Seale was about to pass the point where the robbers lay in wait, one of them sprang out into the street, levelling a bullseye lantern at him and calling upon him to stop. Two other men ran out from under the trees that line the sidewalk. Quick as a flash Seale turned his horse and drove at a rapid gait the other way, going as far as West street, where he met another vehicle containing members of the party returning to their homes. He communicated his experience to them, turned his horse's head homeward, and both vehicles set out at a rapid clip for the scene of the attempted holdup. As Seale reached the place, the man with the lantern again appeared, followed closely by two others. The horse was going at a 2:40 gait, but no attempt was made to stop the buggy. Evidently the robbers discovered Seale was not the man they were looking for. All three of the men wore masks. The man with the bullseye lantern is described as short of stature and shabbily dressed. The same evening, a half hour earlier, Fritz Yungbluth and Fred Backs drove by the place of the attempted holdup. A bullseye lantern was thrown upon them, but no attempt was made to molest them. They were driving in a covered buggy. It was BETTER FRUIT STORAGE Canadian government scientists are studying a new storage idea which has already been worked out in certain laboratory experiment and which is expected to have an almost revolutionary influence on the successful storage and transportation of fresh produce, particularly-fruits. The principle is fairly simple. It calls for the maintenance of a certain concentration of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere of the storage chamber. This gas is given off by the fruit, as it undergoes physiological changes. Deterioration in the fruit can be greatly slowed up by regulating the concentration of the gas. Some of the results hoped for from these experiments will be the extension of the fresh fruit season to several months instead of weeks, in the case of very tender stuff, and to the year round in the case of hardier fruits like apples and pears. It should mean also a considerable extension of the marketing range of such fruits and even an improvement in their flavor. If it makes it possible to pick them at a more nearly ripe stage than at present and to ship them safely in natural condition. Such discoveries push farther off into the future the time when the human race cannot feed itself on this earth. To young graduates: Conceding that beyond the Alpa lies Italy, if you wish to go any further into the subject you'll have to take it up with Mussolini. of the party returning to their homes. He communicated his experience to them, turned his horse's head homeward, and both vehicles set out at a rapid clip for the scene of the attempted holdup.

The same evening, a half hour earlier, Fritz Yungbluth and Fred Backs drove by the place of the attempted holdup. A bullseye lantern was thrown upon them, but no attempt was made to molest them. They were driving in a covered buggy. It was shortly before midnight. When they reached the Christian church, a block further on, the city electric lights, which are turned off at that hour, went out. Officers have a reasonably accurate idea as to the identity of these men, and a crusade against the disreputables who have recently floated into the neighborhood will probably begin. Captain Urede informs us that the advance guard of walnut pickers has arrived and gone into camp beside the cooling streams that flow through Placentia. Men have come with their families from as far as Los Angeles, and occupy tents under the trees and along the roadside. The captain says that not alone those who flock to the seashore experience the pleasures of existence during the warm spell, for these campers are themselves having a delightful time of it awaiting the harvest. And when that begins, there will be many thousands of dollars awaiting disbursement among them. Charley Bauer has recovered from his recent injury, sustained by having a horse which he was shoeing fall upon him, and is at his old place in his blacksmith shop. His customers will find him ready, as usual, to turn out all work in a first-class manner and at reasonable prices. Otto Rust and wife returned some days ago from the east. While traveling on a Hudson river steamboat, they met Mrs. H. S. Knapp, formerly of this city, who came aboard at West Point. Mr. Rust reports a very pleasant trip, but is glad to get back to the glorious climate of California. Frank Schwentker writes Oscar Renner from Fresno that he is employed by the Santa Fe railroad at that point. He is clerk for the roadmaster, and has a very good position. Frank is an Anaheim boy, and his many friends hereabout will be glad to hear of his good luck. Gus Shade has returned from a mining trip to Arizona.

Wages are $7 per day "inside" the Northwest Territory and $4 this side the divide.
