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, APRIL 7, 1877 The new proprietor of the city bakery is a versatile and accomplished gentleman. As a baker his skill, like his bread, needs no puffing. As a leader in the dance, he is elegance personified. As a painted, he has consummate skill, while as a fiddler, he can draw sweeter sounds out of a bass viol than one would think such a bloated instrument capable of producing. And now we learn that he can justly lay claim to a fleetness of foot which would be creditable to a professional. About 5 o'clock the other morning, his noble steed, Rosinante, took advantage of his temporary absence delivering bread to a house-on Los Angeles street, to enjoy a run unchecked by the hand of his master. When that gentleman saw the condition of affairs, the horse was a couple of hundred yards away, but nothing daunted, he fled in pursuit. After a long and stern chase, the horse was captured by the fleet-footed but somewhat blown baker. The ball on Wednesday evening was very well attended, and as a matter of course everyone enjoyed themselves to their hearts' content. The young gentlemen of the Union Club having the management of these parties should be proud of the success which has attended their exertions to please. We learn that the next affair will be a "calico ball." Mr. J. E. Bacon was in town last evening. He says there will not be grass enough in the vicinity of San Juan Capistrand to maintain all the stock in that section.

He says there will not be grass enough in the vicinity of San Juan Capistrand to maintain all the stock in that section. In the matter of the estate of Robert Ashcroft, deceased, the probate court has ordered that letters be granted to A. S. Ferguson on giving bond for $600. Sheriff Alexander, Under-Sheriff Rowan and Constable Bettis were visiting Anaheim yesterday. Con Howe of Garden Grove was in town yesterday. He says that well-boring in that district is going on briskly, two wells having been finished on Tuesday and the borers being at work in three different places. And writing about wells puts us in mind to correct any wrong impression which may have been conveyed by an article in the Santa Ana paper of last week, which stated that several wells in Garden Grove had ceased flowing. This is not an unusual occurrence, and is not confined to any particular locality. The cessation of the flow of water is not caused by a lack of that fluid, but by the accumulation of sand in the pipe. The second number of the San Francisco Argonaut has been received, and the contents are as sparkling and vivacious as those which characterized the first number. We venture to predict that this paper will meet with substantial success. (The editor of the Argonaut was Frank M. Pixley, and his associate was Fred M. Somers. Ambrose Bierce was also a contributor.) Governor Irwin has commissioned J. W. Venable a notary public to reside at Downey City, vice Austin. The hook and ladder company held their meeting last night at the town hall, and the following officers were elected: Charles Slappenbeck, foreman; A. J. Brown, assistant foreman; T. S. Grimshaw, secretary. Messrs. Backs, Payne and Chambers were appointed a committee of three to draft by-laws. The next regular meeting of the fire company will be held on the second Wednesday in this month. A drill meeting will be held in Langenberger's yard on Monday afternoon, at 6 o'clock. Cahen & Willard have leased the whole first floor of the brick building adjoining their present quarters and will remove thence in a few days. Mr. Phillip Davis will start for San Francisco Monday, to attend his wool sale. Mr. Davis is the most extensive wool dealer in this section. The snow was plainly visible on the peaks of Santiago mountains yesterday. The election of town officers, which takes place the first Monday in May, is already beginning to engross the attention of voters. There will be no lack of candidates. In our advertising columns this morning will be found the announcement of the re-opening of the Santa Ana hotel by Mr. Mr. Phillip Davis will start for San Francisco Monday, to attend his wool sale.

The election of town officers, which takes place the first Monday in May, is already beginning to engross the attention of voters. There will be no lack of candidates. In our advertising columns this morning will be found the announcement of the re-opening of the Santa Ana hotel by Mr. Beck. This gentleman is an experienced caterer as well as an estimable gentleman, and we request those of our friends who visit Santa Ana to stop at his house. Mr. G. I. Turner has purchased the City Bakery from Charles Hille. Mr. Turner is an old hand at the business, having conducted a large bakery in one of the upper counties. We learn that Mr. Northam says that the additional deed to right-of-way for the ditch proposed to be given by the Yorbas is not satisfactory because it does not fully cover the objectionable points which the company found in the original deed. Messrs. McDermott and Grimshaw have been busy during the past week preparing the wagons of the sheep raisers for their journey to Arizona. A large amount of rock from the newly discovered tin mines at Trabuco is on exhibition at Pitt & Company's office in Los Angeles. Adolph Rimpau will start with his sheep for Arizona today. We wish him a pleasant and prosperous journey. We find the following plaintive notice in the San Francisco Call: "Anyone who will give information as to the whereabouts of Dr. Piercy Ellis, formerly of Andrea Station, San Fernando tunnel, and formerly of Anaheim, will greatly oblige his wife, Sarah Frances Ellis, address San Francisco postoffice, California. Country papers please copy." Shipments from the depot this morning were: Ten kegs beer, six barrels tallow, 95 bales wool, one box butter, seven boxes eggs, 50 orange trees, 143 sacks corn, 255 sacks barley. YS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Daily Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1902 F. A. Korn contemplates making a trip to Germany this summer, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Marie Horstman. Mr. Korn has heard so much about the Fatherland since the return of Mr. Dickel that he is resolved to go himself and see if it is all so. The ship on which he was to have sailed from Hamburg to America on emigrating to this country fifty years ago, but on which he found it impossible to secure a berth, owing to lateness in his arrival at the dock, sailed and was never heard of again. He and his daughter look forward to their trip with anticipations of great pleasure. Ed Zeus is in receipt of a letter from Los Angeles from the gentleman to whom he sold his team of blacks for $350, to the effect that he had been offered $500 for them. This offer he refused. One of the horses, the letter states, goes a mile in less than three minutes and doesn't half try. The horses are the property of a recently returned Klondiker. W. C. Eymann disposed of 7000 apricot trees this season, out of a total of 7700 on hand at the beginning of the season. He also sold a large number of walnut trees. He believes in printer's ink, and doubtless to his extensive advertising, no less than the superiority of his trees, were his sales in great part due. James Enearl has installed a pumping plant upon his ranch southwest of town, and fitted it with a 25-horsepower gasoline engine. He has sunk a deep well and constructed a concrete pit to the depth of 80 feet, and has a plentiful supply of water. Nature Assisting Builders of Homes High Grade, Varicolored Roofing Produced From Rock Mines Linking forces with industry, Dame Nature, master craftsman, is refining and turning out of her laboratories vivid colors for homes of the West at the rate of more than 1,000,000 pounds a month, a production that is being increased steadily to cope with an overmounting demand. The colors in question are imprisoned in rock mined by the Pioneer Paper Company, of Los Angeles, from great quarries maintained at Jasper Point, in the Yosemite valley, for use in the manufacture of composition shingles and roofing. A statement just issued by the concern shows that in 1925 a total of 12,000,000 pounds was used for this purpose, an increase of 100 per cent over 1925, officials declared. Use of the rock was started originally to provide a wearing surface for the materials. The stone, crushed into tiny particles, is imbedded under terrific pressure into a base of heavy, asphalt-saturated building felt. The completed product, experts assert, forms a fireproof, wear-proof shingle. By blending the different stratas, the firm has been able to evolve a wide variety of shades to conform to the present trend in home building, which calls for a roof of a tint which will supplement the color scheme carried out on the residence. Reds, greens, blue-blacks, russels, golden browns and various other shades have been developed in this manner. Use of the rock surfacing disclosed the interesting fact man has been unable to duplicate nature's laboratory achievements. While the colors can be reproduced successfully by artificial means, according to pioneer chemists, the synthetic shades soon fade, while the colors in the mineral are as enduring as the rock itself. NEW TELEPHONE BUILDING The construction of a new telephone central office building in Culver City W. C. Eymann disposed of 7000 apricot trees this season, out of a total of 7700 on hand at the beginning of the season. He also sold a large number of walnut trees.

He has sunk a deep well and constructed a concrete pit to the depth of 80 feet, and has a plentiful supply of water. Willie Wallop returned some days ago from San Francisco, after an absence of upward of a year. He expects to leave for Honolulu the latter part of the month to take a position as bookkeeper for a large firm. Miss Blanche Mitchell of Pasadena is a guest of her aunt, Mrs. Cadman. She is engaged in the preparation of an elaborate wedding trousseau, and is to be one of the Crown City's pretty June brides. Miss Margaret Higgins of Redlands visited with friends in town during the week. She states that her father has had a severe spell of illness since removing to that city. Judge Ballard on Monday affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case against Joseph Smith for illegal liquor selling at Fullerton. A fine of $150 had been imposed by the Orange justice. Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Heimann of Los Angeles spent Sunday in town with friends. They leave on the sixteenth for Europe, to be gone three months. Mr. Crowther narrowly escaped asphyxiation at a Pomona hotel on Thursday night. In company of the water directors, he had gone to that town for the purpose of looking into a water proposition made the company at that place. Arriving at Pomona in the evening, the party retired at an early hour. They were informed by the landlord that the gas in the hall leaked, but not enough to entail any danger. The party arose early the next morning, Mr. Zeyn being up at 5 o'clock. Mr. Crowther did not appear at breakfast and, upon an investigation being made, he was found to be unconscious. The gas in his room had been escaping from the jet, which had evidently not been closed tightly the evening before. A physician was called and he was revived. He was later taken to the station by Mr. Bradford and reached home without any further mishap. He has since entirely recovered. Leonard Parker, an old-time resident of this section, died at his home on the east side, on Thursday morning, in his eighty-fourth year. He had been ill for months, having been thrown from his buggy early in the year, sustaining injuries from which he never recovered. Mr. Parker had been a resident of this section for 32 years. He was one of the pioneers of the settlement of the east side and owned one of the finest places in that locality. The board of city trustees held its last meeting previous to the municipal election on Tuesday evening. The full board was present, viz: Helmsen, Dickel, Schneider, Weisel and Fay. Marshal Steadman reported the following collections for March: NEW TELEPHONE BUILDING The construction of a new telephone central office building in Culver City is well under way and the $125,000 structure is to be completed within a few months, according to officials of the Southern California Telephone Company.

After discussion of the matter, Trustee Helmsen suggested that the matter be left to the new board. Arthur Darling has been assigned to the agency of the Southern Pacific depot at Whittier. Ernest Zeller and Miss Matilda Schneider were married on Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's parents at West Anaheim. The newly married couple will reside on Broadway. Avoid planting potatoes on ground that was in tomatoes last year, if any other crop arrangement can be conveniently made, unless the tomato ground was sown to a fall cover crop which will be turned under in advance of planting the potatoes. Great Britain has ignored the latest Russian note, but the note Britain really should have ignored was the one which asked for soviet recognition. Wood rot is caused by low forms of plants, of which the punks or brackets sometimes seen on trees, logs, or timbers are the fruits. They produce millions of spores or seed so small they may be carried far by winds. When a spore drops into a crack in wood and finds conditions favorable it develops. Tiny, hair-like growths spread from the rot plant in all directions. They feed on substances in the wood, thus breaking down its structure.
