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, MARCH 31, 1877 It commenced raining quite briskly yesterday morning about 5 o'clock, and during the day we had two or three showers. Five-sixteenthsof an inch fell in the morning. Yesterday was, in the main, a bleak, cold day, and it will be a disagreeable disappointment if frost does not make its appearance within a few days. In the lower end of the county it rained nearly all day yesterday, and the late crops of barley in that section are saved. Rain enough has fallen at the present writing to insure a good crop of hay, and if we get a little more moisture (and it looks very much as if we will), the late sown barley in this vicinity will give a splendid yield. The Los Angeles papers say that it rained yesterday morning from 2 o'clock until 6 o'clock, and during that time the rain amounted to .35 inches. The members of the Anaheim Literary Society met at Kroeger's hall, pursuant to adjournment, Mr. A. G. Beebe in the chair. The meeting was called to order and the following officers elected to serve for the ensuing term of eight weeks: President, T. S. Grimshaw; vice-president, R. G. Glover; secretary, V. Montgomery; treasurer, Fred Rimpau; sergeant-at-arms, J. M. Guinn. Messrs. W. F. Heathman and W. D. Stevenson were admitted as members of this society. Bill of C. M.

Mr. Hammes is making improvements to the blacksmith shop on Los Angeles street formerly occupied by George H. Little. We are informed that it is to be used as a millinery store. It is with unfeigned regret that we chronicle the death of the aged mother of Mr. R. H. Gilman. The lady had been an invalid for years. The funeral will take place this afternoon from the residence of her son. Mr. Olden is experimenting in the matter of irrigating at his farm near Anaheim. He proposes to raise the water from a surface well by means of a Chinese pump worked by horse power. His neighbors are anxiously awaiting the result of the experiment. Mr. J. M. Landell of Centralia is making substantial improvements to his house. Mrs. Hughes, who is Mrs. Landell's mother, is expected shortly, and may take up her residence there. Four new families and one or two bachelors (how many does it take to equal a family?) have settled in Centralia the past winter. Also several small strangers have put in an appearance and immediately made themselves felt (or heard) in the thriving settlement, which seems to be growing rapidly. Auctioneer Barham had quite a lively time yesterday selling the ancestor of a mule. The beautiful beast brought $5.60. Mr. Juan Forster had his leg broken yesterday by a fall from a horse while working with cattle at Santa Margarita. Mr. William F. Heathman of Orange was in town yesterday. We understand that he has purchased 50 acres of land one mile north of Orange, which he intends planting to orange trees. Wells, Fargo & Company sent down a gold watch as a present to George H. Smith, the driver who was wounded by a stage robber a short time ago. Mr. R. B. Woodward, proprietor of Woodward's Gardens, San Francisco, was a visitor in our town yesterday.

Woodward, proprietor of Woodward's Gardens, San Francisco, was a visitor in our town yesterday. Mrs. L. Parker brought in yesterday a fine lot of large strawberries. A crowd of shearers from Mr. Rimpau's ranch came in town yesterday. The primary department of our public school is over-crowded with scholars. There are now something over seventy pupils, which is a larger number than the seats can accommodate. We counted 32 teams yesterday afternoon standing hitched in front of stores on Center street between the corner of Los Angeles street and the corner of Lemon street. It certainly was no sign of dull times. Colonel J. J. Warner (Long John) will be a candidate for the nomination for state senator at the coming election. There has been filed in the office of the secretary of state articles of incorporation of the Orange Methodist Episcopal Church of Orange, Los Angeles county. It has no capital stock. Directors—Joseph Beach, Benjamin A. Price, M. D. L. Hartley, H. Lockwood, S. L. King, C. Hill, N. D. Harwood, W. L. Oge, and J. M. Mitchell. Mr. R. Luedke had his new showcase in operation yesterday. It is a neat affair. The St. Helena Star has the following item: "A carload of orange trees direct from Anaheim to St. Helena will be a novelty. Yet it will be visible here next week in a consignment from the well-known nurseries of Richard Heiman, there, to Mr. Kohler, here. The freight on the carload will amount to $150. Mr. Kohler announces that he will sell the trees (four years old) for $1 each, and for an additional dollar he will plant and guarantee the same." 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1902 Frank Porter was in town on Saturday, telling about his experiences on a recent visit to the desert. Frank tends the place during the week, and on Saturday gets the boys to do the chores while he comes to town to talk politics and hear the latest collection of hot air outcropings. That is, he does so if there is no baseball game in sight on that day. At the beginning of the season he agreed with the boys that if they would tend the farm on Saturdays when there was no ball, they could play in the games that fell on that day. Since then it has generally come ball right along. "I wouldn't give a dollar an acre for all the land on the desert. There are some good portions, where if water can be secured good crops can be marketed, especially if one gets near the railroad. The heat and the dust are stifling. We wend in during the daytime and come out at night. We had to tie a lantern to the tongue of the wagon one of us had to walk along with another ahead." "What was that for?" butted in Fritz, who used to sail on the Flying Dutchman. "Sidewinders, sir, sidewinders! The country is full of them. You have to walk on ahead to scare them out of the road so the horses won't step on them. Then you'll miss many of them, and the light on the tongue is to let the horses see where they are, so as not to step on them." Charles G. McKinley has purchased the business until lately conducted by Richard Zerman and will in future conduct during the daytime and come out at night.

McKinley has purchased the business until lately conducted by Richard Zerman and will in future conduct the same. He will deal in hay, grain, oils, coal, etc. Mr. McKinley is a business man of well known ability, having been secretary of the Orange County Fruit Exchange for a number of years, and later representative of the Southern California Fruit Exchange in the northwest. The residence of Peter Weisel was entered some time Thursday night by burglars, and a number of valuable household articles were stolen. Among them were three suits of clothes, an overcoat and some jewelry. In all over $200 worth of property was stolen. Mrs. Norrish of Pasadena is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Krick. Mrs. Norrish is a sister of Mrs. Krick and the wife of the professor of mathematics at Throop. She will remain for a stay of a week or two. John B. Vinson, and old and highly esteemed resident of this city, died at his home on Thursday. Deceased had been ill for many months. Mr. Vinson had lived in Angheim with his family for a number of years and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was a native of Alabama and was aged 57. Interment was in Santa Ana cemetery, the funeral being under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, of which deceased had been a member. Mr. Vinson leaves a wife and two married daughters to mourn his loss—Mrs. Cayce of Santa Ana and Mrs. King of Indian Territory. They have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. An entertainment will be given at the armory the evening of the eleventh instant, for the benefit of the public library.

Agents for the Salt Lake Railway have for some weeks past been quietly procuring rights-of-way and options upon property at Whittier. It is announced that the road will extend a branch from its main line, three miles north of Whittier, to that city and continue thence through the La Habra valley. J. Ross Clark said on a recent visit to this city the Salt Lake road would be built through Placentia as soon as work upon the main line had sufficiently progressed to enable it to place a construction force upon it. Herman Dickel returned on Friday evening from a two months' visit to his old home in Westphalia, Germany. He went divenge attention which mean not only a gain by proper marketing to the producer, but that the consumer will benefit from the obtaining of fresh produce in the eastern markets and at all points of contact between the producter and the final market. There exists today a bureau of markets under the state department of agriculture. It is moribund. The bureau will be completely overhauled and revived. Representatives of railroad interests throughout the United States in conference with Governor C. C. Young and G. H. Hecke, state director of agriculture, approved the co-operative marketing program. Donald D. Conn, manager of the American Railway Association, declared at the conference that the railroads are interested in the plan. Others attending the conference were Carl Howe, vice-president of the Erie railroad; Elmer Knutson, manager of the agricultural relations of the American Railway Association, and Charles Hoover, representative of the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Herman Dickel returned on Friday evening from a two months' visit to his old home in Westphalia, Germany. He went primarily to see his mother, who is aged 82 and whom he had not seen in twenty years. He sailed on the Teutonic, and ten days were consumed in making the trip. On his return trip he sailed on the Kaiser Wilhelm. The voyage was made in seven days. Mr. Dickel is glad to get home, and since his return has been kept busy recounting his experiences to his many friends. Professor Templeton, superintendent of public schools in Santa Ana, has received a dozen rare trees from United States Senator George C. Perkins, to be planted on the school grounds in that city. The directors of the water company went on Saturday to the site of the proposed Yorba reservoir for the purpose of inspecting it further. Mr. Sherwood was in charge of operations of boring in the side of the reservoir, which revealed, so it is reported, the existence of a stratum of gravel. A prominent stockholder said yesterday the site was undoubtedly one of the best in the country. "A small deposit of gravel on the side is nothing against it. It ought to be built. I still rely on the accuracy of Schuyler's and Kellogg's reports endorsing the site." Ed Morgan has departed for his gold mines in Arizona. A. T. Pendleton, prosperous orange grower of Placentia, did business in town a day or two ago. J. C. Ord was in town from Los Alamitos one day last week. He has gone into the grocery business; sells 22 pounds of sugar for a dollar, and ships quantities of that article to many points in this and adjoining counties. Schools are out for 10 days on-account of light attendance, consequent upon vaccination of pupils. Studies will be resumed Monday next.
