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, AUGUST 25, 1877 We had the pleasure of welcoming to our sanctum yesterday Messrs. Tuffree and Jackson. The latter is the Democratic nominee for county surveyor, and is said to be at the very top of his profession. And writing about the county surveyorship puts us in mind that John Goldsworthy, the Republican nominee, has been omitted from the ticket, as printed on the back of some of the candidates' cards. The omission is purely accidental and has been remedied since the first cards were printed. A committee of those owning land in the extensions of Anaheim has been appointed to try and make arrangements with the Yorbas to let the waste water run into the Anaheim ditch at night. It is believed that if this is done, quite a large stream will reach the town. A committee has also been appointed to confer with the Anaheim Water Company in regard to the same matter. As a little son of Mr. Backs was playing in the new brick building opposite The Gazette office yesterday, he stumbled and fell into the cellar, and sustained very severe but not serious bruises about the head. The band last evening bade Mr. Ben Dreyfus welcome by giving him a fine serenade. A number of friends of Mr. Dreyfus accompanied the band to emphasize the welcome. Forepaugh's circus and menagerie will visit Anaheim about the latter part of next month.

Forepaugh's circus and menagerie will visit Anaheim about the latter part of next month. Ben Sheffield and his sister, Miss Fanny, will on Monday take their departure for Minnesota, to be gone at least two years. The number of young ladies and gentlemen in Anaheim is not so large as to cause a decrease in the number to be looked upon with indifference, especially when the departing ones have become such favorites as Mr. and Miss Sheffield. In expressing the hope that their return to our city will be sooner than now anticipated, we but echo the wish felt by their many friends. Messrs. Goodman and Rimpau announce in our advertising columns that they have made a reduction in the price of their goods in order to clear their shelves for the reception of a new stock. This scale of reduced prices will only be maintained for the next thirty days, and those desiring anything in the dry goods line should avail themselves of an opportunity seldom offered. Mr. Fischer yesterday received advices from John P. Zeyn. His friends will be glad to learn that he is improving very rapidly; in fact, he commenced to improve while yet on the journey to San Francisco. M. Calisher arrived on the train last evening. He will remain here a few days and then proceed to San Francisco to purchase a stock of goods for his Arizona store. Moye Wicks of Santa Ana has been elected to fill the vacancy in the Democratic county committee caused by the resignation of W. D. Morton. Mrs. Theodore Reiser left yesterday for a short visit to San Francisco. From Mr. Victor Montgomery we learn that there was a private picnic party at Santiago canyon yesterday. Rev. J. M. Allis, formerly of Anaheim, but now pastor of the Larkin Street church, San Francisco, is delivering a course of lectures on Christian Evidences. Mr. S. L. King of Garden Grove brought into town yesterday a watermelon weighing fifty-two pounds. The market is now stocked with delicious grapes of every variety. Thirteen citizens of Los Nietos voted for Peter Cooper for President, and one of the thirteen writes to a Los Angeles paper that they propose to stand by their organization (Greenback Club) until they elect a president who is in accord with them. We admire the spirit of the noble thirteen, but profess no admiration for their discretion. Mr. H. W. Lake of Santa Ana has purchased the stock of Paul, the furniture dealer.

We admire the spirit of the noble thirteen, but profess no admiration for their discretion. Mr. H. W. Lake of Santa Ana has purchased the stock of Paul, the furniture dealer. Mr. Lake has built up a prosperous business; in fact, he is fast absorbing the entire paying trade of the Santa Ana section. His patrons get the worth of their money. That's the secret of their success. At the Republican meeting at Westminster on Saturday, Judge Brunson charged that the Democratic convention was manipulated by the railroad corporation, through an agent sent for the purpose from San Francisco. The people of Westminster turned out en masse to hear Judge Brunson speak, and the hall was crowded to its capacity. W. G. McPherson was chosen chairman and Messrs. Con Howe, Josiah McCoy, T. C. Hull, J. C. Aldrich, J. F. Marquis and H. Stevens, vice-presidents. Mrs. F. S. Bonley sang, "We've Drank From the Same Canteen." John Bush received yesterday a letter from E. S. Peek, a former resident of Los Nietos, whom Anaheimers will remember. He is in Colorado, where he has acquired large tracts of land. He wrote Mr. Bush for information as to whether sheep in large numbers could be purchased in this vicinity, and the price, at which they were held. Mr. Fischer, in company of other gentlemen, went up to the mouth of the ditch yesterday and, as a result of the observations made, he predicts that the water will reach Anaheim through the ditches today. A small stream reached Leonard Parker's farm yesterday. At that point in the ditch where the water sank into the sand a layer of clay has been put on, which is proving very effectual in preventing waste. It is likely that the water famine is nearly ended. Apparatus for the fire department—buckets, axes, lanterns, chains, etc.—have been purchased in Chicago, and are now on the way to Anaheim. They will probably reach here in a week or ten days. 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, AUGUST 28, 1902 Dr. Johnston has installed at his residence one of those newest adjuncts to civilization—a static machine, otherwise known as an X-ray apparatus. The reporter went over to take a look at the critter. The doctor puts the machine on exhibition for a moment. Several copies of a magazine are placed together, and upon them a postoffice key. The ray penetrates the volumes and reveals the key, together with the shadow of the doctor's fingers holding it. Then the doctor told us all about this wonderful thing called electricity. Certainly it is a wonderful thing. In surgery the ray has made possible the most wonderful advance recorded in years, second only, perhaps, to the discovery of anaesthesia. What wonderful possibilities the future has in store for it time alone can tell. Dr. Johnston's machine was made in Chicago. The glass globes for the concentration of the ray were made in Berlin. The machine cost $500. The Citizens Bank, one of the solid financial institutions of Southern California, on Thursday morning last passed into control of W.F.Botsford, president of the California Bank of Los Angeles. Mr.Botsford and T.W.Phelps, assistant cashier of the California bank, inspected the bank's securities, and reported its condition to be absolutely first class. A meeting of the board of directors was called and the formal transfer of the interests of Mr.Cahen, president of the bank, to Mr.Botsford, was duly ratified. The bank will be changed into a national bank. Greater financial resources will accrue to the bank by reason of Mr.Botsford's election as president. Mr.Botsford is well known here, where he has extensive interests. With him will be associated Chester Holcomb, who has for some weeks past had under consideration NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL PROPERTY BY TRUSTEE UNDER DEED OF TRUST WHEREAS, by a certain Deed of Trust, dated December 12th, 1923, recorded January 24th, 1924, in Book 509, page 50 of Deeds, records of Orange County, California, to which record reference is hereby made for all of the provisions thereof, John E. Chaffee and Mary M. Chaffee, his wife, did grant and convey the real property therein described, being the real property hereinafter described, to the Orange County Title Company, a Corporation of Santa Ana, California, as Trustee, to secure, among other obligations, the payment of one certain promissory note dated December 12th, 1923, made by said John E. Chaffee and Mary M. Chaffee to Savings, Loan and Building Association of Anaheim, a Corporation, or order, for the principal sum of $2500.00 with interest at the rate of eight per cent per annum, principal and interest due in monthly installments of $29.20 each, on the 1st day of each month beginning on the 1st day of January, 1924, and continuing until fully paid; and WHEREAS, a breach and default in the performance of said obligations for which said Deed of Trust is a security has occurred in that installment due upon said hote on November 1st, 1926, was not paid when due and has not since been paid, in whole or in part, and in that each of the installments due on said note subsequent to said November 1st, 1926, has not been paid in whole or in part, and that there was on March 14th, 1927, the sum of $2647.95 and interest thereon from November 1st, 1926, together with the sum of $41.50 advanced under the terms of said Deed of Trust in payment of taxes on the property covered thereby; with interest on said last mentioned sum at the rate of eight per cent per annum from October 30th, 1925, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of said Savings, Loan and Building Association of Anaheim on March 14th, 1927, exercised the option contained in said note and adopted a resolution on said day that the whole sum of the unpaid amount on said note on said date, to-wit: $2647.95, and interest on said sum from November 1st, 1926, and The Citizens Bank, one of the solid financial institutions of Southern California, on Thursday morning last passed into control of W. F. Botsford, president of the California Bank of Los Angeles. Mr. Botsford and T. W. Phelps, assistant cashier of the California bank, inspected the bank's securities, and reported its condition to be absolutely first class. A meeting of the board of directors was called and the formal transfer of the interests of Mr. Cahen, president of the bank, to Mr. Botsford, was duly ratified. The bank will be changed into a national bank. Greater financial resources will accrue to the bank by reason of Mr. Botsford's election as president. Mr. Botsford is well known here, where he has extensive interests. With him will be associated Chester Holcomb, who has for some weeks past had under consideration the establishment of a national bank in this city. John Hartung, cashier of the bank, will remain in the institution as vice-president, as will also Miss Zeus, as bookkeeper. Mr. Cahen contemplates removing with his family to Los Angeles. He has been a prominent business man of this city for many years, and his intention to depart will be noted with regret on the part of his many friends. Mrs. N. H. Mitchell of Pasadena has let the contract for the erection of a single-story brick building on the lot owned by her on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. McWilliams & Dunn, the local builders, have the contract. The cost of the building will be $8000. In all probability it will be occupied by Harris & Falkenstein for their department store. It is expected to begin work on the structure in a few days. One hundred thousand brick will be on the ground from Los Angeles this week. The brick work will be done by C. Schindler. The front of the brick building on Center street, adjoining the new structure, will be torn out and modernized. The building will be ready for occupancy in about sixty days. The lot whereon this handsome new block will be erected has stood vacant in the very heart of the city since the destruction by fire of the Planters hotel, the night of July 4, 1890. The fire occurred shortly after midnight, and for a time threatened destruction to the center of the city. Frank Ey was over from Santa Ana on Tuesday. Frank has lately returned from a trip to San Francisco and coast points. In San Jose he saw W. F. Frantz, who has a large barber shop and is doing well. Mrs. Doermer of St. Louis, Mo., has been the guest of Mrs. Konig during the week. Ed Bennerscheidt has returned from Fresno, where he has been employed during the season in operating a cannery. He expects to return thither and take a hand in the raisin packing business. Sprock Fossek jumped his cases Tuesday morning, and when we found it out was 14 miles on his way to the San Juan springs. If there is no paper this week, it will be Sprock's fault. Mr. Keahiler has made for L. A. Evans, of West Anaheim, a camp house on wheels, 8x20 feet, which Mr. Evans will occupy while harvesting his 110-acre beet field at Los Alamitos. The house is fitted up with a stove and cooking utensils, as well as sleeping apartments, and its conveniences are in no way inferior to the elaborate passenger coaches we read about in story books. Harry Dyer came up from the Landing on Tuesday for a few days' stay in town, after which he will return to the beach. He reports a large number of campers at the shore.

Harry Dyer came up from the Landing on Tuesday for a few days' stay in town, after which he will return to the beach. He reports a large number of campers at the shore. Miss Lottie Dotter of Los Angeles, who is well known hereabout, will be married September 1st to Mr. Berry, a young business man of that city. Theo E. Schmidt and Herman Dickel were visitors in Los Angeles on Monday. Mr. Dickel returned on Tuesday, while Mr. Schmidt went to Ocean Park for an outing. Peter Weisel informs us that he will start up the cannery next week, operating on tomatoes, the crop promising well. Frank Dyer is back from a season of rest and recreation at the Landing. Jim Rimpau is here with his wife and two babies from Redlands, visiting the old folks. The trustees lowered the tax rate 5 cents on the $100, making it $1.25 at their meeting Wednesday night.
