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. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1876 The Anaheim Literary Society met on Monday evening, Mr. John Fischer in the chair. The following question was discussed: "Resolved, That the fear of punishment has greater influence upon the human mind that the hope of reward." Mr. J. M. Guinn opened the debate and was followed by his opponent, Mr. E. F. Cahill. The decision was given in favor of the negative. The question for discussion at the next meeting is: "Resolved, That the President of the United States should be elected by popular vote." The affirmative will be sustained by Theodore Lynn and the negative by M. A. Mendelson. Declamations will be given by Victor Montgomery and D. R. Payne. As Mr. H. S. Austin was riding down Center street yesterday afternoon, his horses became frightened at a load of hides and became entirely unmanageable. They ran the entire length of Los Angeles street and were only stopped when they reached the heavy sand about a mile north of town. It was an almost miraculous escape, as neither horses, buggy nor man were injured. The Rev. W. H. Hill of Los Angeles will officiate at St. Michael's church on Sunday. Services begin at 11 o'clock in the morning and 7:30 in the evening. Mr. Hubbard goes to Los Angeles tomorrow, and from thence to San Francisco, expecting to return by the twenty-ninth. As Mr. H. S.

The benevolent countenance of Mr. M. Kremer, tax collector, can be seen at his temporary office at the Anaheim hotel. He came up from San Juan on Wednesday evening, stealing upon us "like a—— in the night," with his tax books and receipts. All who wish to save a trip to Los Angeles can interview our urbane friend and have an opportunity to pay their taxes and licenses. As all public school teachers are required to be present at the session of the Institute, which meets in Los Angeles on Monday next, the schools will be closed next week. Felix Volkman, a former resident of Los Angeles, and brother-in-law of Mrs. Strodthoff, died in England recently. The deceased had been in bad health for some time, and spent part of last year at the hot springs and in Anaheim as the guest of Mr. Strodthoff. A short time ago he took passage for Europe, accompanied by his wife and child, and during the voyage, which was a very stormy one, he contracted a cold and died within six hours after arriving in England. His parents having been telegraphed for, arrived from Germany in time to be present at the funeral. Mr. Joseph Josephsen, formerly employed in the establishment of P. Davis & Brother, returned from Arizona yesterday. He does not give very favorable accounts of that country. Four crops in one year is the latest. On the farm of Noah Palmer, adjoining the town of Santa Ana, there have been gathered three crops within the past twelve months, and a fourth will soon be ready for use. The first crop was wheat, which was sown for grain, but grew so rank that it was cut for hay. The second was corn, which was cribbed. The third crop was potatoes, which also matured and was dug up and stored. The fourth crop is corn, and will furnish roasting ears in about two weeks. There was less than an acre of land. The first two crops matured without irrigation. Notwithstanding the heroic attempts made toward the improvement of the town in the way of new buildings and starting new industries, our friend, Louis Wartenburg, has actually removed those sacks of potatoes which for so long a time have obstructed the sidewalk in front of his establishment and been the terror of all midnight pedestrians and the cause of many a downfall. If Louis goes on in this way, cleaning up and making improvements, we shall not hold ourselves responsible for the results, but will endeavor to use our influence with the managers of "Casa Verde" at Stockton. Bishop Kip left for San Gabriel yesterday morning. During his stay in Anaheim he was the guest of Dr. James Ellis and was well pleased with the comforts provided at that excellent sanitiorum. Two carloads of brea were shipped from the depot yesterday morning. It is used extensively by the Los Angeles gas works. the terror of all midnight pedestrians and the cause of many a downfall.

The following jurors have been summoned from this section to attend the district court December 1: Richard Heimann, B. F. Porter, J. T. Tedford, R. J. Wolf, W. H. Wiley and W. S. Neil. Mrs. M. S. Weinburg has petitioned the county court for permission to resume the name of Margaret S. Metz. Mr. M. Calisher arrived from Arizona last night. Colonel Kewen and wife have gone to San Francisco. Mr. W. M. Bailey has a fine colt dying with the lockjaw. Charles Simmonds has leased the blacksmith shop on Center street formerly occupied by William Crowther. Mr. Montgomery has on exhibition at his office some mam-moth ears of corn grown upon his ranch. Dr. James McCoy of Westminster is seriously ill. There were ten vessels unloading freight at Wilmington yesterday. Mr. S. A. Hawkins and family, formerly of Anaheim, returned yesterday after an absence of several years. They intend to locate in Santa Ana. The geese are reported as being very plentiful at the Alamitos ranch. They are very fat at this season of the year and afford fine sport for the huntsman. Major Pauline Cushman, the great Union spy during the late war, is now in San Gabriel, remodeling a house in fine style for a hotel. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 21, 1901 The importance of constructing the Yorba reservoir is apparent to every irrigator in the valley. On another page we publish a lengthy report made to the directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company by Engineer Kellogg relative to this enterprise. The cost of the reservoir he estimates as $20,000. The inlet and outlet and necessary cement ditches will cost an additional $17,500. The construction of the reservoir would do away with the old Anaheim flume and sand ditch which extend for two miles. This flume is rotted beyond repair and would cost $5000 to repair. This money put into the new ditch would build nearly one-third of it. This reservoir would store enough water to supply Anaheim 300 inches steady stream for 100 days or day water of 600 inches for 100 days. Anaheim now pays for water about $8000 per year. The same water we now get turned into day water would bring not less than $10,000, or enough to pay the interest on the investment. The additional water from the reservoir during the 100 days would increase the supply from 350 to 400 inches; no run would be over two weeks in getting around, and longer time for irrigation would be given. The amount of water impounded would sell for $5760. All the water taken from the river could then be used in the Cajon canal, giving it what now flows to Anaheim and increasing the water by 450 inches for Placentia and Fullerton during the three short months of the year. The present board of directors has for the last 18 months been collecting data, and has employed engineers for the proposed Some onion land in New York state sold the other day for $1700 an acre. Raising onions seems to be the one skin game that pays. It is said that charges of the sale of impure milk have caused a decline of dairy sales in New York City. But it would take more than that to cause the New Yorkers to cut down on their synthetic liquor. TIMETABLE A. T. & S. F. Ry.

Work should be commenced at once and pushed with all dispatch until completed. Build the reservoir. By the overturning of a coal oil lamp at the residence of P. Nicholas at Fullerton, on Thursday evening, $80 worth of household goods were destroyed, and the residence narrowly escaped destruction. Miss Nicolas was sewing at the time, and the lamp was accidentally tipped over. The loss was adjusted yesterday. Col. W. H. Bailey of San Francisco visited his extensive possessions at Olinda during the week. Development of the ranch's oil resources is going on at a lively rate, and substantial improvements are being made.

William Ahlborn informs us the Turners will give a literary and musical entertainment at their hall the evening of December 7. It will conclude with a social hop. C. C. Chapman of Placentia has had plans drawn for one of the handsomest residences in Orange county. It will cost $10,000. He is at present engaged in making extensive improvements at his ranch.
