IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a ConAgo. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Histories of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1876 The members of the Anaheim Library Society met at Kroeger's hall on April 30, Mr. T. S. Grimshaw in the chair. The meeting was called to order and the minutes of the previous meeting read and approved, after which the chair appointed as a committee to decide upon the merits of the debate, Miss Emma Kraemer and Messrs. Holdridge and Walker. The following question was then discussed: "Resolved, That men of thought have been more beneficial to the world than men of action." Mr. J. M. Guinn opened for the affirmative, followed by W. H. Henderson, who volunteered to lead the negative. After a long debate, the committee gave their decision in favor of the affirmative. The question for discussion at the next meeting is: "Resolved, That railroads should be owned and managed by the state." Affirmative, E. F. Cahill, Victor Montgomery, Theodore Lynn and Robert Brown. Negative, Athearn, McFadden, Payne and Austin. Declamation, W. D. Stevenson, and W. F. Heathman. The chair imposed fines of 25 cents upon each of the following members: E. F.

Tuffree, agent of the pasture lands of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company, informed us yesterday that Col. R. S.

S OF LONG AGO Issued 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 8, 1902 Mr. Korn and daughter, Miss Marie Horstman, leave on Tuesday for a six months' trip to Germany. Mr. Korn has not visited the Fatherland since 1862, when he remained away for a year. He came to America in 1850. The ship on which he sought to procure passage at Hamburg sailed and was never heard from again. Mr. Korn has heard so much of the wonderful development of the old country that he resolved to make a tour and see for himself. The many friends of himself and daughter wish them a pleasant voyage and a safe return. J. C. Henry of St. Stephen, New Brunswick, a brother of Alex Henry of the Caledonia Grove, is here on his way to San Francisco as an officer of the grand lodge, Knights of Pythias, which meets there in August. Henry is a distinguished journalist and lodge member. He comes to perfect arrangements for the meeting of the grand lodge. He will be in Anaheim a fortnight visiting his brother. Private letters from San Francisco bring the distressing intelligence that Mrs. Maurey and her daughter, Mrs. Wilmot Maurey suffered the loss of their household effects, furniture and clothing in a fire that destroyed the building in which they resided some night ago. They narrowly escaped with their lives. Sympathy is felt for them on the part of many friends in Orange county. President Ey of the Santa Ana Council has appointed the members of the public library board to succeed themselves under the terms of the organization made necessary by an act of the Motorist Drives Car Three Miles a Minute Ethyl Gasoline Proves Efficiency in Race Against Time Shattering all existing records for 91 cubic inch displacement motors. Frank Lockhart piloted his Miller Special over a measured mile course at Rogers Dry Lake, near Lancaster, last week, at a speed of 171.02 miles per hour, nearly three miles a minute, the fastest time made by any car in the world, excepting the Daytona Monster, 30 times larger. As did Major Seagraves when he attained a speed of 203 miles per hour at Daytona Beach recently, Lockhart used Ethyl gasoline. To this fuel and to the fact that he used Aristo motor oil, a pure mineral oil, manufactured from California crude by the Union Oil Company, Lockhart attributed much of his success. In accordance with American Automobile Association regulations, Lockhart traveled over the course in opposite directions. He made the mile in one direction of the course in 21.05 seconds, or nearly three miles a minute. The return trip was made in the teeth of a heavy cross-wind in 22.85 seconds, bringing the average for the course to 164.85 miles an hour. This new record made by a car the size of a midget, but with the power of a giant, is a most startling achievement when compared with the records established during recent years by cars powered with motors many times its size. In 1918 Ralph De Palma drove a mile on Daytona Beach in 24.02 seconds, or just under 150 miles per hour, with a 12-cylinder job powered with a 900 cubic inch aviation engine. Two years later, Tommy Milten hung up the then astounding record of 156 miles per hour in a car equipped with two eight-cylinder engines having a total displacement of 600 cubic inches. By comparison, Lockhart's Miller Special is a superb example of automotive engineering genius. Powered with eight cylinders, displacing only 91 cubic inches, this car, in the hands of the daring and youthful Lockhart, has collapsed all American and international Private letters from San Francisco bring the distressing intelligence that Mrs. Maurey and her daughter, Mrs. Wilmot Maurey suffered the loss of their household effects, furniture and clothing in a fire that destroyed the building in which they resided some night ago. They narrowly escaped with their lives. Sympathy is felt for them on the part of many friends in Orange county. President Ey of the Santa Ana Council has appointed the members of the public library board to succeed themselves under the terms of the organization made necessary by an act of the legislature of 1901, and the choice was unanimously confirmed by the board of city trustees. The board as at present constituted is composed of the following members: Dr. C. D. Ball, W. M. Small, J. P. Greeley, H. J. Forgy, and C. S. Crookshank. This removes the friction existing between the library trustees and the city council, and leaves the way clear to proceed at once with the work of getting ready to build the Carnegie library. At Santa Monica, on Saturday, teams from six high schools and athletic associations of Southern California will compete in a series of track events for a silver cup offered by the Santa Monica Athletic Association. Teams have entered from the Los Angeles commercial school, Santa Monica high, Pasadena Athletic Association, Throop and Anaheim high school, which two weeqs ago defeated the Arcadians on the local grounds. Representing the local school will be Paul Turk, Elmer Stone, Murray Mills, Bradford Wickerin and Hans Weisel. Turk will enter the 100 and 220-yard dashes, putting the shot, broad and high jumps and pole vault. Stone will go in for the hammer throw; Mills, Bradford and Wickerin for the long distance runs, and Weisel for the pole vaulting. The boys are practicing two hours each day and are expected to give a good account of themselves. Peter Hansen and his daughter, Miss Christina, departed last week for an extended trip to Europe. It has been 32 years since he left the old home. His ranch will be cared for by Wesley Alms during his absence. A dinner party in Miss Hansen's honor was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Smith previous to her departure. P. Nicolas was over from Fullerton on Monday and made us a pleasant call. He reports the country looking fine, the walnut trees never having had a better appearance, and prosperity holding sway on all sides. Andrew Gillison writes from England, desiring a change in his paper's address. He adds the weather is cold and wet. He is prospering, but says nothing about coming out to California again.

Fritz Ruhman and Peter Syre have returned from a trip to Pomona, Redlands, Oxnard and other points of interest in Daytona Beach in 24.02 seconds, or just under 150 miles per hour, with a 12-cylinder job powered with a 900 cubic inch aviation engine.

Powered with eight cylinders, displacing only 91 cubic inches, this car, in the hands of the daring and youthful Lockhart, has eclipsed all American and international records for the measured mile, except that established by Major Seagraves at Daytona in a 24-cylinder car 30 times larger than Lockhart's mount.
