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, APRIL 28, 1877 All the vehicles in town were put in requisition to convey the brethren of the Odd Fellows' Society and their numerous friends to the scene of the festivities yesterday. The fraternity formed a procession at their hall, over Mr. Spurgeon's store, and to stirring strains from the Anaheim brass band marched through the principal streets of the town to a clump of sycamores near the residence of J. H. Fruitt, where preparations had been made for their reception. After the ceremonies peculiar to the order had been gone through with, R. E. Hewitt introduced to the assemblage the orator of the occasion, Rev. W. H. Hill of Los Angeles, who delivered a pleasing address descriptive of the origin, purpose and success of the Society of Odd Fellows. After the address, the lunch baskets were brought into requisition, and the little groups gathered under the trees and discussed their contents. The Centennial swing was erected for the amusement of the little ones, and was enjoyed not only by them, but by old and young, married and single, indiscriminately, much to the disgust of the patient, plodding mule, which was called upon to furnish motive power to the many seats, which were loaded not unfrequently with 200 pounds of female loveliness. At intervals the Anaheim band played beautiful music, the performance of which reflected as much credit upon them as it gave pleasure to the company. At 3 o'clock the assemblage adjourned to the dancing hall, where they amused themselves until it became time for the band to return home. The committee of arrangements and the members of the order especially desired us to return their sincere thanks to the Anaheim band for the pleasure furnished by their delightful music, and we who were equally pleased, beg to add also our humble testimonial.

We have been asked to urge the propriety of having a picnic on May Day. The members of the brass band are not only willing, but anxious, to participate. All that remains to be done is to get a committee together to make a few necessary arrangements. Now, if John Fischer, John P. Zeyn, Dick Menzel, and one or two more would get together today and consult with the band, we are certain that we could announce positively tomorrow morning that there would be a picnic. Gentlemen, do something. There is no time to lose. Mr. R. Luedke is desirous of adding to his already large collection of fine flowers a black rose. The way to produce this curious flower is to take a bud from a rosebush and graft it to a young oak. The result will be a black rose, which is said to be more rare than beautiful. Montgomery Queen's circus will exhibit at Anaheim on May 10th. If you commence now and "salt down" 7 cents a day, by the time the circus is here you will have enough to buy a ticket and a pint of peanuts. Our fellow townsman, Mr. Theodore Lynill, has been requested to become a candidate for the legislature. He declines; however, positively preferring to let his chances run two years longer. We were favored yesterday with a call from Hon. T. D. Mott and his guests, United States Marshal Marcellus and his deputy, Mr. Dunlap. There is feed enough on Warner's ranch to support one hundred thousand head of stock through the year. M. L. Goodman, who is now in San Francisco, has sent down an immense quantity of goods, among which some elegant silk patterns are especially conspicuous. Fifty huge cases, filled with every imaginable kind of goods, arrived in one shipment. Dr. Hardin's young grandson was nearly fatally poisoned a few days ago, when Mrs. Hardin discovered him in the act of eating some polishing powder which she had purchased some time before. Suspecting it might be poison, she gave the child a spoonful of sweet oil and sent for the doctor, who promptly administered antidotes, and the 2-year-old child was soon out of danger. Seventeen cars of freight were shipped from the Anaheim depot this morning. Mr. Olden has received information from Mr. Northam to the effect that an editorial excursion party will arrive in Anaheim in a day or two. The visitors will be welcomed and hospitably treated.

The bride's costume is thus described: She wore a rich gross grain silk of creamy whiteness, which was fashioned a la princess, and well displayed in a sweeping train. The corsage was high with elbow sleeves. The trimming of real point lace and the finest knife plaiting so disposed as to produce the effect of the folded petals of a rose just on the eve of opening. Lilies of the valley looped the sides, together with tiny bouquets of pinks and gracefully drooping fuchias, the whole softened by misty sweeps of the bridal veil of finest illusion, caught and held by orange blossoms and floating to the very end of the lengthy train. The only ornament she wore was a necklace of orange blossoms. There are seven well-boring machines at work in Gospel Swamp. The Anaheim brass band needs a drum. Fifteen dollars will be necessary to buy one, and when purchased they have a man ready to play it. All who desire to contribute may call at this office and leave their contribution. OF LONG AGO Red Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1902 Anaheim high school track team was victor over the Arcadian track team of Los Angeles in the field-day trials held on the local grounds on Saturday afternoon by a score of 24 to 21. Paul Turk was the sensation of the day. He participated in seven events, taking first honors in each. He broke the state amateur record in the broad jump. Turk jumped 22 feet 1 inch. The amateur record is 21 feet 8 inches. Dean Cromwell, captain of the Occidental college track team, accompanied the Arcadians and held the stop-watch, along with Mr. Remmel, as some one down the track fired a pistol shot for the start. Frank Dyer and Fritz Yungbluth held the tape at the outcome. The Arcadians were in the lead. They had the advantage of a five-foot lead at the start. Half way down the line, World Beater Turk, putting on an extra burst of speed, passed the foreigners, as a great shout went up from the assembled multitude. "Turk! Turk! Turk!" yelled the big crowd, as he was seen to be well in front, head thrown back, locks sweeping in the wind, and coming like a thousand of brick. He crossed the line 10 feet ahead of Raney, Walker third, Stone fourth. Time, 10 3-5. Score, Anaheim 5, Los Angeles 4. Then Mr. Katzenjammer Zeus, raising his mighty megaphone aloft, rendered his soul in a joyful incantation to the empyrean: "What's the matter with Turk?" he demanded, in tones stentorian, awful. "He's all right," responded the girls. Others participating in the meet were Midget Mills, Stone, Bradford, Wickerin and Sheldon for Anaheim; Walker, Raney, Clay, Potts and Lee for the Arcadians. A number of the Arcadians remained over for a reception and ball tendered them in the West Coast Airplane Forest Patrol Assured Airplanes will again be available this season for forest and fire patrol in the Pacific coast states, according to report by District Forester S. B. Show of the San Francisco headquarters, United States forest service, based on advice received from Chief Forester Col. William B. Greeley. The war department, which last year notified the forest service that no surplus planes would be available for aerial forest patrol in 1927, has rescinded its former decision and now finds it possible to supply planes for this purpose. "We are greatly pleased to learn of this splendid offer of co-operation by the war department," stated Mr. Show, "since this action will make possible the more adequate protection of the federal, state and private forests of the Pacific coast from the dread menace of fire. While detailed plans for the airplane fire patrol have not yet been made by the forest service, it is probable that planes will be stationed at Glendale and Sacramento, Calif.; Eugene, Ore., and Seattle and Spokane, Wash., as in 1926. From these bases protection will be given to the forests of California, Oregon, Washington, western Montana and northern Idaho, in which are located the bulk of the fast-drifting virgin timber resources of the nation. "Airplane patrol will be handled by the forest service largely as in former years, with the able co-operation and assistance of the air service of the army," continued the district forester. "The greatest value of these eyes of the forest is not for the patrol of fixed air lanes over forested regions, but for the scouting of fires after severe lightning storms and during periods when smoke and haze obscure the forests from the ground lookout stations. Airplanes are also very valuable for reconnaissance of going fires, in order to determine where best to concentrate fire fighting forces, since an observer in a plane can in an hour or so cover a large fire that would take a man on foot or horseback days to travel around." The Tennessee legislature adjourned the other day to go out and see Babe Ruth play baseball. Maybe it would be a good idea to keep the Babe con- "Turk! Turk!

He crossed the line 10 feet ahead of Raney, Walker third, Stone fourth. Time, 10 3-5, Score, Anaheim 5, Los Angeles 4. Then Mr. Katzenjammer Zeus, raising his mighty megaphone aloft, rendered his soul in a joyful incantation to the empyrean: "What's the matter with Turk?" he demanded, in tones stentorian, awful. "He's all right," responded the girls. Others participating in the meet were Midget Mills, Stone, Bradford, Wickerin and Sheldon for Anaheim; Walker, Raney, Clay, Potts and Lee for the Arcadians. A number of the Arcadians remained over for a reception and ball tendered them in the evening at the Del Campo. They were royally entertained, the high school classes vieing with each other in their efforts to make their stay one long to be remembered. A field day will be held at Santa Monica a week from next Saturday, between teams from the Arcadians, Los Angeles Commercial high school, Santa Monica and Anaheim high schools. A new front has been built to that portion of the Metz block which will be used by Jimmie Jones' new restaurant. The interior has been repainted and repapered throughout. The tables will be served with the best the market affords. Jimmie's cooking is known to all men. Next Wednesday evening the house will be formally opened with a ball at the armory and a sumptuous supper in the new restaurant. Roman Wisser, Billy Schumacher and Ed Kraemer have returned from a week's trip through the San Antonio canyon, Pomona, Claremont, Stoddard's Camp. Redlands, and other points of interest in the upper valley. At the power house in San Antonio canyon, they saw a stream filled with fine fish, but were debarred from taking any, owing to the closed season.. At Redlands they met George Dunn, who took them over Smiley Heights and other points of interest in that neighborhood. The Orange county oratorical contest will be held about May 15th. Anaheim and Santa Ana high schools are the only contestants so far entered: Fullerton has decided not to compete. The representatives of the Anaheim high school will be Carl Zeus and Hans Weisel. J.
