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, OCTOBER 21, 1876 The seventh volume of the Anaheim Gazette commences with today's issue. Those who have been attentive readers of the paper during the past seven years will testify that each successive volume shows a marked superiority over its predecessor, both in its mechanical execution and in its literary department. As in the past, we intend that The Gazette shall continue to improve and keep even pace with the rapid development of our county. A circular before us conveys the information that Mr. H. R. Hanna has been appointed agent for the sale of the "Centennial Flat-Iron Heater." Just how the United States got along without this convenience during the past hundred years, we can't imagine. It is a very economical and convenient invention for heating flat-irons, and its low price—two dollars—will insure it a ready sale. Leave your orders with Mr. Hanna, at Cahen & Willard's store. The hunting season opens well. That mighty nimrod, Oscar George, accompanied by Frank Mielenz, brought home 81 ducks and several snipe, curlew and geese as the result of a few hours' hunt on Tuesday evening. This we call remarkably good shooting, considering the earliness of the season and the consequent scarcity of game. The ducks were very fat and toothsome, a fact which we can attest through the kindness of Mr. George. The Rt. Rev. William Ingraham Kip, bishop of California, will visit St. Michael's church Anaheim on the second Sunday The hunting season opens well.

William Ingraham Kip, bishop of California, will visit St. Michael's church, Anaheim, on the second Sunday in November. Services next Sunday, as usual, at 11 o'clock. The subject of the sermon will be "Salvation in the Church Alone." The ladies of the congregation are making preparations for a fair, to be held about the first of December. Judge Sepulveda, of the district court, yesterday issued naturalization papers to Thomas Dunne, a native of Ireland; Mateo Castro, of Mexico; Henry Wohl, of Switzerland; Martin Varwig, of Sweden, and Jonas P. Varwig, of Switzerland. We are indebted to Mr. T. S. Grimshaw for the following report: The Anaheim Literary Society held their regular meeting on Monday evening, E. F. Cahill in the chair. After Messrs. Blankin and Grimshaw had delivered declamations, the question: "Resolved, That the pulpit affords a better field for the display of eloquence than the bar," was discussed and decided in the affirmative. The question for debate at the next meeting is: "Resolved, That conscience is always a correct moral guide." The affirmative will be sustained by S. B. Smith, and the negative by M. A. Mendelson. An innovation is talked of in English fashionable circles which is making chignon and false hair merchants tremble for their trade. It is proposed that all the luxuriant tresses which adorn the heads of the elegantes shall fall, and that the ladies shall appear in public, their heads dressed a la Titus. Already several courageous ladies have shown themselves "cropped," and it seems probable that their example will find imitators.—(It seems that they "bobbed" their hair fifty years ago.—Ed.) The fame of our climatic attractions has penetrated even to the domains of the czar. The San Francisco Alta of the fifteenth instant thus admonishes us that we are to receive distinguished visitors: "Count and Countess Bozenta, of Warsaw, Poland, are stopping at the Occidental hotel, on their way to Anaheim, where the count intends to take up his residence for a short time to recruit the health of his wife, who has lately retired from the stage of Europe. She has a world-wide reputation as one of the greatest representatives of the drama. Efforts have been made by her friends, who have had opportunities of admiring her wonderful dramatic powers in Europe, to induce her to appear here in one or two characters, but she has so far declined to comply with the request. We yesterday received from Messrs. Taylor and McCoy, of Westminster, some delicious Muscat grapes, which were grown on Mr. Dauskin's vineyard. We return thanks for the courtesy. Judge Alex Bailey, who has built a very nice house on his lot on the corner of Lemon and Sycamore streets, commenced moving yesterday. We ask the pardon of long-suffering husbands for alluding to the fact that Goodman & Rimpau have just received several We yesterday received from Messrs.

Judge Alex Bailey, who has built a very nice house on his lot on the corner of Lemon and Sycamore streets, commenced moving yesterday. We ask the pardon of long-suffering husbands for alluding to the fact that Goodman & Rimpau have just received several hundred pieces of new calico; but the reflection that the same paragraph which aroused the indignation of the husbands also evoked the gratitude of the wives, will somewhat assuage our poignant grief. Mr. Olden and family now occupy rooms over Goodman & Rimpau's store. Messrs. Kroeger and Rimpau of the board of school trustees met yesterday and opened nine proposals to sell a schoolhouse lot to the district. Further action was postponed until the return of Mr. Athearn, the absent member of the board. A private party was given at the home of Mr. John Gwin last evening. The Republicans of Anaheim and Santa Ana are making an effort to get a sufficient number to club together to go to Los Angeles on Tuesday night, for the purpose of hearing Tom Fitch, the "silver-tongued" speaker, on political questions of the day. M. L. Goodman of the firm of Goodman & Rimpau, will leave for San Francisco on Friday next. A fine new lot of fall and winter goods on their shelves will be the consequence of the visit. The Express of last evening announced that J. D. Lynch has retired from the management of that paper. The business is now under the sole control of James J. Ayers. Superintendent Hewitt has gone to Paso Robles Springs. He has been suffering with neuralgia and hopes to be benefitted by the change. Dr. Lucky, formerly superintendent of Los Angeles schools, is lying dangerously ill in San Francisco. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1901 Joe Backs on Sunday defeated a San Juan foot racer named Sepulveda in that town by a margin of 20 feet. Joe was accompanied by a glittering array of Campo Aleman sports, including Jim McAuley, and on their arrival the paisanos were taken with frozen footsteps. One man took it upon himself to declare all bets off. The race was run, nevertheless, and Sepulveda was never in the game. That man who declared all bets off must have got a bad tip. Local sports won about two dollars and a quarter. Backs is negotiating for a sprint with a Bakersfield phenom. Chester Holcomb and George Case have departed for Indio, where they have taken up land and will embark in the business of growing early fruits, melons and vegetables for the eastern markets. Mrs. Holcomb and baby remain with her father, J. P. Zeyn, in this city, until next year. The boys took two carloads of freight with them, and will build a house and sink an artesian well. Mrs. John Hunter, who was run down and at first thought to be fatally injured by Conductor Clegg's train, on the Santa Fe road on Tuesday, October 15, continues to improve and hopes are entertained for her complete recovery. The railroad's adjuster has been here to adjust her losses. Probably a heavy suit for damages will be the result of the accident. Henry J. Boege was married in Los Angeles on Saturday to Miss Louise Wagenbach of that city. Bride and groom have been USE OF ELECTRICITY Interesting figures comparing the production of electricity in the United States and France are shown in a statement just issued by the geological survey of the department of the interior. According to a report recently published by the French minister of public works, the amount of electricity produced for distribution in France in 1923 was 7,490,000,000 kilowatt-hours. Public utility plants in the United States in 1923 produced 55,674,000,000 kilowatt-hours, about seven and one-half times the total amount produced in France. The population of France in 1923 was about one-third that of the United States. About 45 per cent of the French output was produced by the use of water power, but only 35 per cent of the output in the United States was so produced. The per capita use of electricity in France in 1923 was about 200 kilowatt-hours; in the United States it was about 515 kilowatt-hours, or more than two and one-half times as much as France. These figures include electricity imported to each country. The potential water power resources of the United States available 90 percent of the time amount to about 35,-000,000 horsepower, and the capacity of water wheels of all sizes installed in water power plants in 1923 was 10,-000,000 horsepower. France, with potential water power resources amounting to only 5,400,000 horsepower, had water wheels with a capacity of 2,100,-000 horsepower installed in water power plants in 1923. Taking into consideration the relative water power resources of the two countries, France in 1923 was making much better use of her water power resources than the United States.

They leave shortly for a two months' honeymoon trip to New York. Duke Paschall has returned from Oxnard. He states the supervisors have passed an ordinance closing saloons at 11 o'clock and prohibiting games. He contemplates locating in Arizona. Frank Eastman has received an offer from a San Francisco letter carrier to trade his route on the rural delivery for one in the northern metropolis paying $1000 yearly. Frank thinks there is no place like home, and has rejected the offer. Frank Schwentker has been visiting with his parents during the week. Frank is located at Fresno, in the employ of the Santa Fe railway company. He notes many evidences of advancement hereabout since his former visit, a year ago. A. E. Strehle is paying a visit to his brother, C. A. Strehle. He is from Germany and has lately returned from a trip to Australia. He may remain permanently.

Mr. Balfour has just returned from a visit with relatives in England. Louis Noah was in town from Los Angeles the other day, spinning yarns and getting the hand from his numerous friends. The twelfth annual meeting of the Orange County Union Veterans' Association was held in Masonic hall, Fullerton, on the seventeenth instant. There was a fairly good attendance of the "old vets," accompanied by their families, and the ladies of the W. R. C. and G. A. R. circle were out in force and eloquence. The first thing the old boys saw on entering the hall was an open door, through which their eyes were greeted with tables loaded to the guards, and a wave of patriotic fervor manifested itself among the old heroes, who felt disposed to charge without orders, even in defiance of the flashing eyes of the handsome ladies holding the fort. The attention of the veterans was diverted by President Hasson, who stated that business must first be attended to. Secretary Paul read the minutes of the last meeting (held at Westminster), also a list of members who had passed over to the majority during the year. A committee of three was appointed to nominate officers and, its report being adopted, the following were declared officers for the ensuing year: President, A. H. Bibber, Orange; first vice-president, Erwin Barr, Anaheim; second vice-president, C. E. Buell, Santa Ana; third vice-president, W. C. Holderman, Tustin; secretary, H. B.

Southern California is just developing the most extensive and important irrigation system to be found in arid America. The location of this enterprise is on the Colorado delta; and the water for the reclamation of that country is taken from the Colorado river, where the supply is more than abundant. In extent, the land to be reclaimed under this system includes about 500,000 acres in San Diego county, California, and about 300,000 acres across the line, in Lower California. The California Development Company has charge of this work, which is generally known as the Imperial canal system. In April, 1900, Mr. George Chaffey, founder of Etiwanda and Ontario, in San Bernardino county, California, and Mildura and Renmark, in Australia, concluded arrangements with the California Development Company whereby he was to take complete charge and manage it to a conclusion. Work was immediately commenced, and the progress made since has been most remarkable. The Imperial canal has been constructed and plenty of water has been distributed to the settlements, where a large number of families are now moving in. A school district has been established. A railroad is next on the program. The Los Angeles, Imperial and Arizona Railway Company is being incorporated to build a standard gauge railroad from Yuma, through the Imperial settlements, in a northeasterly direction, to Los Angeles. The towns of Calexico and Imperial are already platted and the lots in these towns are on the market. Senor de la Guerra and Ramon Peralta were visitors in town from up the river during the week. Mrs. Theodore Lacy, wife of Orange county's sheriff, is in San Francisco, attending a meeting of the Daughters of the Confederacy. Tuesday evening.

Yet many women who do the family washing each week are in the same position. Not only is the cost of washing materials and fuel considerable, the toll on their health and looks is of deep importance. In saving a little by doing the washing, a woman is spending many dollars' worth of her charm and vitality. No woman can afford to do this.
