IN THE DAYS OF L 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, MARCH 3, 1877 The board of trustees of Anaheim school district met at The Gazette office yesterday afternoon. Mr. Rimpau reported that the deed for the school house lot had been received and was in the recorder's office in Los Angeles. Mr. Kroeger was appointed to attend to removing the vines from the lot and preparing the ground for trees. It is proposed to plant a hedge of cypress trees around the lot, leaving a sidewalk outside the hedge ten feet wide, and to set out shade trees on the edge of the sidewalk. The board instructed the clerk to find out what arrangements could be made toward building a school house, and to report at the next meeting. It is the design of the trustees to proceed as soon as possible to prepare the grounds for a new school house to cost from eight to nine thousand dollars. It is thought that means can be devised to raise four or five thousand dollars without levying a tax. If so, one story can be erected and put in immediate use, and in two years more a tax might be levied to complete the balance, if no other method presented itself. As a last resort the trustees will procure a plan of a building of which one portion can be completed with the money now in the treasury, and use it for the primary department until means can be procured to finish the entire building. The school house lot ornamented with trees and shrubs will be an attraction to our town, and as there will be little or no money to spare, it is hoped that those of our citizens who have an abundance of trees and shrubs will donate the same to the trustees. Anyone desiring to lend a helping hand in the matter can notify Mr. Kroeger. Miss Margaret last Saturday en members, there Robison and Mr each member of string.

As two gentlemen were driving yesterday on Lemon street, the horses became unmanageable and ran the entire length of the street. The buggy was overturned, throwing the occupants to the ground. No serious injuries were inflicted except those sustained by their purses paying for the demolished buggy. Mr. Jonathan Watson starts for Arizona on Thursday with about six thousand head of sheep. He has just returned from a careful examination of the road over which he will travel. He will take with him pumps and troughs, and is satisfied that he will have no long forced marches to make for water. The following named physicians recorded their certificates of diplomas in the office of the county clerk: R. J. P. Brunson, St. Louis Medical College, Mo., March 1, 1856; F. A.

At Orange it rained enough to leave puddles of water on the ground. On the Alamitos ranch it rained very heavily, accompanied by peals of thunder. On Sunday night Westminster and Gospel Swamp were favored with a smart shower. Mr. L. Paty has made another contract with the Los Angeles Gas Company to deliver 400 tons of brea.

U. C. at her home last Saturday evening with a spider web party. Besides the members, there were present Miss Grace Wilson, Miss Alice Robison and Mrs. Peter Weisel. After the web was unwound, each member of the party found a pretty fly at the end of her string. Miss Grace Smith sang for a very appreciative audience. Later the club orchestra rendered several beautiful selections for the benefit of those outside and those inside. The orchestra consists of a piano, violin and mandolin.

New buildings and improvements will follow the change of ownership and will render the springs more attractive than they have been in the past. Distances Traveled By Migratory Birds Some interesting facts regarding the lines of flight and migration of wild ducks were disclosed recently in correspondence between Dr. H. C. Bryant, director of the bureau of education and research of the California Fish and Game Commission, and Dr. E. W. Nelson, chief of the bureau of biological survey. United States Department of Agriculture. One of the state fish and game wardens recently sent to Dr. Bryant the banded leg of a female Mallard duck shot on December 16, 1926, on the Glacommin ranch, about 12 miles north of Crescent City. This band bore the biological survey No. 456204. Still another warden sent in a band bearing No. 456272, taken from the leg of a green-head Mallard killed near Cow creek, Tuolumne county, on January 5, 1927. This information was conveyed to Dr. Nelson in a letter written by Dr. Bryant requesting that date and place where these birds had been banded. Mr. Nelson stated that the first bird was banded by Mr. F. H. Rose, an assistant of the biological survey, at Molese, Mont., on October 18, 1926. The second bird was banded at the same place by Mr. Rose on October 24, 1926. By means of these numbered bands important investigations relative to the migrations and other facts in life histories of North American game birds are being advanced. The bands are attached to the birds by volunteer cooperators, both in the United States and Canada, who serve without pay. Success in the bird-banding work is therefore dependent upon the reports of persons in both countries on such banded birds as come to their attention. TIMETABLE A. T. & S. F.

Supervisor White of Chino held a conference at the city hall on Thursday last with Supervisor Potter and City Trustees Schneider, Fay and Weisel on the subject of applying oil to roads in this county. He explained in detail the method used in San Bernardino county, saying that oiled roads are dustless—much superior to the sprinkled roads and much cheaper. The entire state is taking up the agitation for oiled roads, and Mr. White's time is largely taken up in answering questions from all sections of the state. A Los Angeles man, De Camp, is the pioneer in this kind of work, and some years ago took out a patent for the process of applying oil to roads, imposing a royalty of $15 a mile a year upon all parties using it. The Redlands trustees paid royalty for a time, but they don't do it any longer. Mr. White says you can't patent a thing that comes out of the ground, nor can you patent applying it to the surface of the ground. Supervisor Potter states he will begin the work of applying oil on the road leading west of this city, running past Ben Snodgrass' place, early next month. He desires that the city trustees co-operate with him in applying oil to the city limits. This will necessitate oiling Center street. He will also oil the county road leading west from Broadway, and continue it to the Garden Grove road, and run south two miles. He desired the city trustees to oil West Broadway to the city limits. He will also oil the Olive road, and wishes the city to oil East Center street to a junction therewith. The city will probably co-operate with him, and the work be put under heading early in April.

An inspection of the rain record in Mr. Dickel's office shows that not since the week beginning the sixteenth day of February, 1890, has so much rain fallen as during the present storm beginning February 22 and continuing up to last Sunday morning, March 2. During this period of but little more than a week, 4.62 inches of rain fell—nearly an inch more than had fallen previously during the entire season. Twelve years ago the record for a week was from February 16 to a week thereafter, approximately the same. The storm has resulted in great benefit to all sorts of farming. Beets have been greatly benefitted, as well as grain and hay. With the usual March and April rains we ought to have one of the best seasons in the history of the county. Horace W. Smith, a highly respected resident of West Anaheim, died of Brights disease on Sunday. He was aged 91 years, and was a son of Caleb B. Smith, who was secretary of the interior in Lincoln's cabinet.

Los Angeles St., Anaheim A USED CAR IS ONLY AS DEPENDABLE AS THE DEALER WHO SELLS IT A Child's Laxative which Mothers Can Rely On DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 83 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, IL, a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept "harmed up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and mastic oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all children's little illness, he constantly advised mothers to give only a harmless laxative which would help to establish natural bowel "regularity." In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin mothers have a regulating laxative which they can depend upon whenever a child is constipated, billious, overarching or sick from a cold, indigestion or sour stomach. All children love its pleasant taste. Buy a large 60-cent bottle at any store that sells medicine or write "Syrup Pepsin," Monticello, Illinois, for a FREE SAMPLE BOTTLE and just see for yourself how perfectly it cleanses and reevaluates the bowels of infants and children.
