IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic H of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1877 A special meeting of the board of trustees of the town of Anaheim was held yesterday afternoon. Upon motion it was ordered that if the fire company expend their money for the purchase of the articles necessary for the fire department, that the town of Anaheim shall refund $100 without interest, out of the tax collected this fiscal year. The attention of the board was called by petition to the slaughter house on South street being a nuisance on account of the stench created, and, on motion, it was ordered that the proprietors should be notified to abate said nuisance. It was ordered that the owners of dogs losing their tags shall be allowed a duplicate, for which they shall pay 25 cents, and that said duplicate shall be good only for the time of the original tag. The marshal was instructed to enforce the dog ordinance and report specially at the next meeting. The report of the treasurer was read and ordered accepted and placed on file.

F. Cahill and H. Cahen will deliver declamations. Messrs. John Weglein and J. Frounfield, of the firm of B. Dreyfus & Company, arrived here on Wednesday. Mr. Weglein, who was an old-time resident of Anaheim, was warmly greeted by his hosts of friends. We are sorry that business compelled them to leave this morning. There has been filed in the office of the secretary of state articles of incorporation of the Orange Water Company, to supply the town of Orange, Los Angeles county, with water. Capital $1000, in shares of $100 each. Directors—N. D. Harwood, Henry Neill, R. L. Crowder, M. F. Parker, and J. W. Anderson. This office was yesterday the recipient of a remarkable cluster of roses, the gift of Mrs. R. Luedke. There are between 60 and 70 roses in one single cluster. The mercury indicated 116 degrees at Pomona on Monday. The heat killed scores of sheep in that vicinity. Stoppenback is a public benefactor this hot weather. His bathhouse is thronged from morning until night. Baths at 15 cents suit the public taste and pocket. Mr. Strodthoff became very ill on Sunday from the effects of the heat. He was put under medical treatment and is improving. An accident happened to Mr. H. Knapke yesterday. As he was riding along Center street, the horse turned suddenly, throwing him violently to the ground and bruising him severely. He was immediately conveyed to Mr. Kroeger's residence, where he was attended by Dr. James Ellis. Mr. William Konig was badly bitten on the hand by a dog on Saturday. The wound caused the hand to swell fearfully. Governor Irwin has commissioned Robert Strong, a notary public, to reside at Westminster, vice self, term expired. Visitors to the editorial rooms of The Gazette yesterday were amazed at the wonderful cabbage head therein (anathema on he who dares to pun on this). The vegetable was raised by L. W. Kirby, on his place, near town. Mr. Stephen M. White of Los Angeles was in town yesterday, conferring with Theo. Lynill in reference to legal matters. The quarterly examination of teachers closed Saturday. R. W. Ready, C. W. Moores, T. K. McDowell, E. P. Breed, Miss Clara B. Tullis, Miss M. B. Bailey, Miss Alice Connor, John D. James, Miss Mary E. Squires, W. H. Beal, and A. B. McPherson Visitors to the editorial rooms of The Gazette yesterday were amazed at the wonderful cabbage head therein (anathema on he who dares to pun on this). The vegetable was raised by L. W. Kirby, on his place, near town. Mr. Stephen M. White of Los Angeles was in town yesterday, conferring with Theo. Lynill in reference to legal matters. The quarterly examination of teachers closed Saturday. R. W. Ready, C. W. Moores, T. K. McDowell, E. P. Breed, Miss Clara B. Tullis, Miss M. B. Bailey, Miss Alice Connor, John D. James, Miss Mary E. Squires, W. H. Beal, and A. B. McPherson received certificates. There were 33 applicants, the largest number ever before the board at one time. It takes only 18 days to go from Los Angeles to Ireland. Mrs. Spence, wife of the cashier of the commercial bank, accomplished the journey in that time. Frank Lecouvreur, cashier of the Farmers and Merchants Bank, has gone on a six months' trip to Europe. Yesterday afternoon, a man with face partially hidden by a mask, rode up to a Chinaman employed on Mr. R. W. Scott's place, near town; pointed a pistol at the head of the astonished celestial and, in a style which would have done credit to Joaquin Murietta or Vasquez, commanded him to give up his money or die. The Chinaman had about $5 in silver, which he yielded up to the highwayman, who then rode away towards town. It is pretty well known who the robber was, and it is certain that this section will not be a safe one for future operations. A convention of the Sunday school workers throughout the county will be held in Los Angeles, commencing June 25 and continuing until June 27, closing in the evening. The convention will be held in the Baptist church, on Spring street. Several eminent speakers are expected to be present. It is hoped that every school in the county will be represented. The press throughout the county will please give publicity to the above.—P. P. Smith, corresponding secretary. On Wednesday The Gazette office was removed to its new location, the second story of Conrad's brick building, on Los Angeles street, which we have leased for a term of years. Since our "scorching" of last January we have been beset by a continual dread of a repetition of that painful and costly ordeal. We have therefore taken advantage of the first opportunity offered to remove to quarters which offer a reasonable immunity from the visits of the fire fiend. DAYS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1902 President Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California delivered a very interesting lecture at Santa Ana Monday evening, under the auspices of the University Expansion Club, upon the subject, "The Present Position of the United States Among the Nations of the World." A world-wide view of the subject was taken by the speaker. President Wheeler concluded with an earnest appeal to his hearers to assume as members of the nation, the responsibility forced upon them by being citizens of integrity and true purpose. He was greeted by a large and appreciative audience. The Home Kids defeated the Olive baseball team at the home grounds on Sunday afternoon by the tune of 7 to 2. This is the thirteenth straight victory for the Kids, who have not been defeated this season. The line-up was as follows: Anaheim—Mills, 2b.; C. Fischer, ss.; D. Stone, 3b.; Lewis, rf.; E. Stone, p.; Dickel, cf.; Norman, lf.; W. Fischer, c.; Hartung, lf. Olive—G. Meats, p.-c.; Carter, 3b.; W. Meats, ss.; Borchard, 1b.; D. Venzuela, cf.; F. Venzuela, 2b.; Kemerth, lf.; Handy, p.-c.; Lanfranco, rf. While driving in the river bed near the western limits of Santa Ana, some days ago, W. F. Gulley and a companion saw a good-sized mountain lion prowling in the brush. Gulley had a shotgun with him, and succeeded in getting a long-distance shot, which did nothing but frighten the animal away. It is unusual Preparing Flowers For Exhibition The preparation of flowers for exhibition purposes will be the topic discussed by Russell Adkinson, speaking on the regular radio program of the Orange County Farm Bureau over KWTC at 7:15 Friday evening. Mr. Adkinson, a prominent nurseryman of Orange county, has given the matter a great deal of study and is in a position to give some valuable information on what to plant, when to plant and how to plant it. His remarks will be particularly pertinent to preparations of flowers for the coming Orange County Fair. The Nurserymen's Association has taken over the flower exhibit feature of the fair and expects to make it one of the outstanding attractions. They are particularly anxious to have the amateur classes of the exhibit well filled, and through the courtesy of KWTC and the farm bureau it will be possible for Mr. Adkinson to reach a large number of people with information that will assist the feature to a great extent. When Alfalfa Hay Is Ready to Be Cut The stage of maturity at which alfalfa hay should be cut is indicated in two principal ways. When new shoots begin to start at the crown of the plant, or when one-half appears to be in bloom. Deferring the cutting until later results in a decrease in yield, woody and less palatable hay, and cutting off the new shoots retards the growth of the next crop. Cutting earlier than this stage results in weaker hay, having less food value per pound of green feed because of its higher moisture content. In addition, investigators are of the opinion that repeated cutting of the plant before the stage mentioned very materially weakens the roots, resulting in a shorter lived plant. Analysis of the plant food material stored in the roots at various stages of plant maturity indicate considerably larger quantities stored at the time; the new shoots develop at any other time. This is the thirteenth straight victory for the Kids, who have not been defeated this season. The line-up was as follows: Anaheim—Mills, 2b; C. Fischer, ss.; D. Stone, 3b; Lewis, rf.; E. Stone, p.; Dickel, cf.; Norman, lf.; W. Fischer, c.; Hartung, lf. Olive—G. Meats, p.-c.; Carter, 3b.; W. Meats, ss.; Borchard, 1b.; D. Venzuela, cf.; F. Venzuela, 2b.; Kemerth, lf.; Handy, p.-c.; Lanfranco, rf. While driving in the river bed near the western limits of Santa Ana, some days ago, W. F. Gulley and a companion saw a good-sized mountain lion prowling in the brush. Gulley had a shotgun with him, and succeeded in getting a long-distance shot, which did nothing but frighten the animal away. It is unusual to see a lion so near town. Los Angeles and Long Beach will be connected by electric trolley road on July 4. The time has been mutually agreed upon between Manager Epes Randolph and the Pacific Electric Railway Company and a committee representing the people of Long Beach. Barring obstacles not now expected, the date for instituting the new service will be as stated. It is given out at Pacific Electric Railway headquarters that the Long Beach-Los Angeles line, when in complete running order, will have a seven and one-half minute service. That means eight cars will depart from each terminus of the road every hour. The time of the trip will be about 30 minutes each way. The fare will be the same as that charged by the steam roads, with the regulation 5 cents added for transfer through the city. Potatoes are being shipped out of Anaheim by the carload. The crop is the finest ever raised in the history of the county. Potatoes were a light crop almost all through the United States last fall, and prices have bean high all winter. Early potatoes have been selling as high as $2 per 100 pounds to the farmer. But the bulk of the crop is late and prices will probably drop to 75c or 50c in the field. There ought to be 700 or 800 carloads of potatoes shipped out of Southern California. Messrs. Bradford and Hale have had a conference with Colonel Tuffree relative to the contemplated purchase of the Tuffree reservoir site from that gentleman. Colonel Tuffree owns half the reservoir site, and the water company is anxious to buy. W. W. McFadden has been critically ill during the week with dropsy, from which he has suffered for several months past. Mr. McFadden's many friends throughout Southern California will regret to learn of the serious nature of his affliction, and will hope that he may yet be strong enough to throw off the effects of the disease and be himself again. A. S. Bradford has received a letter from his wife, who for some weeks past has been at her former home in Boston, stating she contemplates returning to California within a few days. Mr. Bradford will have a surprise for her in the shape of plans for one of the finest residences in Placentia. Supervisor Potter lost a valuable driving mare several days ago, which he had recently bought from Supervisor Snover at a price of $150. The animal was afflicted with an internal abscess. She was one of the finest road mares in the county. John Everhardy came down from Los Angeles to visit with Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Schneider over Sunday.

He is now a resident of that city, but makes periodic visits here to inspect his holdings. Mrs. Griffith and Miss Cordes, who have been the guests of Peter Weisel and family of West Anaheim for several weeks, departed on Tuesday for their home in Milwaukee. E. J. Norrish, instructor of mathematics at Throop Polytechnic Institute, was a guest of his brother-in-law, P. H. Krick, during the week. He was accompanied by his son, Ernest. Chester Holcomb writes from Thermal, on the Colorado desert, saying that the first shipment of cantaloupes was made from that place on the fifth instant, and was sold in Los Angeles at $6 per crate, netting the grower $4.50. They are now shipping melons to eastern and coast points and selling at good figures. Henry Strodthoff is in town from Sonora, Mexico, for a stay during the warm spell. M.
