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, SEPTEMBER 9, 1876 On September 5, 1876, the last rail was laid by the Southern Pacific Company, which connected Anaheim with Los Angeles. End of the track, September 5. The train left Los Angeles at 9:30. Three hundred and fifty-three passengers went through the tunnel at 10:30. They arrived at the point of junction at 12 m. There was a gap of a quarter of a mile, with the ties laid and ready for the iron. An array of Chinamen, shovels in hand, stood on either side, ready to commence operations. Colonel Crocker, president of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and Col. Fray, the chief engineer, were on the ground and welcomed the excursionists. The train from the north came in right at 1:15. It brought Governor Stanford, Mayor A. J. Bryant of San Francisco, six supervisors and a number of leading citizens and representatives of the up-country press. At 1:24 the signal was given by Colonel Crocker to lay the track, 1020 feet of which was to be laid. Gangs of men, with an equal number of rails worked from both ends. In exactly 8 minutes and 40 seconds the gap was laid, the Los Angeles workers going out first, at precisely the signal. At two minutes to 2 o'clock, Colonel Crocker drove the golden spike, when Rev. M. Black of San Francisco delivered an eloquent prayer. General Colton then delivered a brief address. He was followed by Governor Downey, Mayor Beaudry, Mayor Bryant, Governor Stanford and General Banning. The Anaheim Literary Society met in their hall on Monday The Anaheim Literary Society met in their hall on Monday evening. The following officers were installed: Victor Montgomery, president; H. Blanken, vice-president; Fred Rimpau, secretary; H. Cahen, treasurer, and A. G. Beebe, sergeant-at-arms. S. B. Smith was elected to membership in the society. The declamations of Messrs. Payne, Henderson and Athearn were delivered and the debate of the evening, "Resolved, That the granting of subsidies of corporations is conducive to public prosperity," was listened to and decided upon by a committee consisting of Messrs. Hill, Angle and Guinn, who decided in favor of the affirmative. The committee appointed to confer with the Orange society reported that the question for debate would be, "Resolved, That war has done more to advance the interests of civilization than peace," and that Messrs. Theo. Lynill, J. M. Guinn, W. H. Henderson and E. F. Cahill had been elected to support the affirmative in behalf of the Anaheim society. A standing committee consisting of Messrs. E. F. Cahill, James Viles and W. H. Henderson were appointed to select subjects for the weekly debates. The subject selected for the meeting next Monday evening is, "Resolved, That local option is a desirable measure." Messrs. F. M. Cahill, J. S. Bancroft, A. G. Beebe and T. S. Grimshaw will support the affirmative, and Messrs. John Fischer, G. D. Plato and D. Nagle will argue the negative side of the question.) Messrs. Ed Schubert and A. P. Benton were selected for declamation. The services in the new Episcopal church on Sunday were largely attended. The edifice is universally pronounced to be a handsome structure, although when it is entirely finished it will present a much more favorable appearance. The steam whistle at the Planing and Grist mill and the one at the Alden Drying Works now toot in concert. The steam pump at the old Schenck vineyard occasionally lifts up its voice also. Although in a musical point of view the sounds are not melodious, it makes one realize that Anaheim is "some pumpkins" of a business place after all. Mr. Werder returned on Saturday from his visit to the Centennial. Judge Humphreys of Santa Ana was in town yesterday. Dr. Piercy Ellis has returned to his position at San Fernando tunnel. Rabbi A. W. Edelman and wife of Los Angeles will celebrate their silver wedding on Sunday, September 10th. Benjamin Dreyfus arrived last evening from San Francisco.

McDermott and Grimshaw will soon establish a saddle and trimming establishment in connection with their carriage manufactory on Lemon street. A new house for Antonio Romo is in process of erection on the vineyard of Heimann and George. W. S. Wright returned yesterday from his eastern trip. A four horse stage started yesterday for Laguna canyon to bring back some of the camping parties from this place. We refer our readers to the professional card of Dr. E. M. Joslin, late of Illinois, who has located in Orange. He is a gentleman of vast experience in his profession. The Los Angeles Hayes and Wheeler Club has a membership of 130. Mr. Menzel has a very beautiful piece of petrified pine on exhibition at his saloon. It was found near the head of Brea canyon. Davis & Brother shipped 80 centals of corn to San Diego. CALIFORNIA TO THE FRONT Population is pouring into California so fast that the state is rapidly moving to the front in comparison with other states, and both of its great cities are moving with it. With a population of 5,066,288, as estimated by Comptroller Riley, the Golden State is now undoubtedly in fifth place, following New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio, and it seems that it will not be many years before the latter two will be passed. Los Angeles now has 1,260,315 and is growing so fast that, when the next census is taken four years hence, it will likely occupy the fourth position, following New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. The place was held by St. Louis until the census of 1920, when it was taken by Detroit. Cleveland moved up to fifth position, dropping St. Louis to the sixth. It seems to be only a matter of time when California and Los Angeles will rank next to the state and city of New York as the country. In is immediate ing, but it wition.

He canned many a carload of this vegetable last season, and reports that only the small acreage planted this year deterred him from making contracts earlier. Learning the crop is turning out well, he is ready to make contracts for them at highest market rates. Call on him at the cannery and turn your tomatoes into money. Jose Lopez, who robbed Farmer Cooper of Claire, was sentenced on Friday last by Judge Ballard to two years' imprisonment at Folsom. The jury lost no time in bringing in a verdict of guilty. Lopez rolled Cooper as the latter slept off the effects of a jag in the rear of Conrad's saloon. It is said this is not his first offense. Ed Zeus, while wrestling with Murray Paschall, in the corral in the rear of his barn, on Friday afternoon, had the misfortune to fall and break both bones at the ankle of the left leg. He was carried into the office and physicians hastily summoned. Drs. Johnson and Wilson responded immediately. The patient was placed under the influence of an anaesthetic and the broken bones set. He was later conveyed to his home, where he continues to improve. The breaks are bad ones, and Ed will be laid up for several weeks. SEPARATE INCOME REPORTS ILLEGAL Californians seeking the right for husbands and wives to file separate income tax returns upon community property were dealt a serious blow in a decision by the state supreme court that California wives have no "present vested interest" in community property acquired to 1923. Prospects of Californians for recovering $100,000,000 in taxes, claimed to be in excess, were clouded by the same action. An amendment to the civil code adopted in 1917 and a constitutional amendment in 1923, having bearing on community property laws, formed the basis for the fight which culminated in the supreme court ruling. The decision was given in a friendly test case by Mrs. Frances Lee Stewart of Los Angeles against her husband, Ernest A. Stewart. The man doesn't live who feels at ease in a room where two women are whispering. be equally potent ten years from now. Population supplies markets and draws industries, which in their turn is going on now and accounts for much of the growth of the Los Angeles district. Developing commerce across the Pacific will also play a part. Those who see in the course of time the dense population in the United States along the Pacific coast have good reason for their vision.

He says that in the event of the incorporation of that town into a municipality at the approaching election, residents of the outside territory will probably ask the supervisors to form a new voting precinct. Paul Kluss is in San Bernardino on a short business trip. Frank Stone and Dominick Lieb are conducting his place of business for him. Fred Lewis has departed for Terre Haute, Ind., where he will take a four years' course in electrical engineering. Fred was given a farewell party by his many friends on Friday evening, and at its conclusion performed the Hobson act to the many young girls in attendance. Mrs. Frank Wommer underwent a surgical operation on Tuesday for an internal complication. Dr. Eddy is in charge of the case. The operation was successful and the patient is improving Dr. H. A. Johnston has purchased the residence recently occupied by E. P. Fowler and will move into it. He will maintain it as a sanitarium to accommodate his constantly increasing practice. Jake Berlin was in town from Fullerton on Saturday. He has invested in oil lands in Brea canyon, which he considers a very promising location. Otto Strodthoff arrived from Jerome, A. T., on Saturday and will remain for a two weeks' stay. He has been for ten years an employee of Senator Clark's copper mine at Jerome, but talks of taking up other lines of toil in the not distant future. The Jerome mines employ 1000 men and ship out three carloads of copper daily to New York, where it is distributed to all parts of the country. Allan Melrose has recovered from his threatened attack of typhoid, under the skillful treatment of Dr. Bickford, and has returned to the Santa Fe oil wells, where he has resumed his job as tool dresser. Carl Zeus has returned from Chino, where he has been engaged in the laboratory of the sugar factory. The abrupt shutting down of the mill throws several hundred people out of employment. Carl will have a job in Zeus & Warling's livery stable, while his brother, Ed, takes an enforced vacation owing to a broken leg. Everybody is talking about Ringling Brothers' famous big circus, which is to exhibit in Santa Ana Tuesday, September 14.

Mr. Melrose has moved his law offices to the upper floor of his building on Center street. Mrs. Gade has taken a residence in Los Angeles, where her eldest daughter is attending normal school, and will reside with her family in that city until her graduation. Meanwhile, H.C. will remain in Anaheim and give attention to his truck line and keep bachelor's hall until his family's return. President McKinley was shot, and at first it was supposed was fatally wounded, by an anarchist named Leon Czolgosz, at the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, on Friday afternoon last. Late reports from his bedside bring the comforting news that he will recover, which the American people will pray is true. News of the diabolical deed reached this city a few minutes after its commission. Yesterday the reports were that he had passed all danger and would soon be entirely restored to health. Through the courtesy of Mr. Darling the bulletins have been furnished an anxious public. The bulletins have been posted by Herman Stern, upon our bulletin board, which was loaned for the purpose. They have been eagerly scanned by the people of the community. York as the most populous in the country. In the east such a suggestion is immediately classed as mere booming, but it will bear serious investigation. No state and no city at any time in the history of the nation has equalled the growth of California and Los Angeles during the past five years. The state growth has been general. San Francisco has also increased tremendously since 1920 and with her 622,203 as in the rank of the first ten cities, possibly to take sixth place from St. Louis in 1930. Every city and town in the state is growing. However, it is not the mere fact of present growth which supplies foundation for the prediction of future headship, but the reasons for that increase. It is not the result of a temporary boom. People are coming to California by the hundreds of thousands every year for reasons which are permanent in their nature. If those reasons are sufficient to draw them now, they will Situated in the County of Orange, State of California, and more particularly described as follows, to wit: Commencing at the Northwest corner of Lot One (1) of the Miles Rancho, as shown on a Map recorded in Book 4, page 7.
