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, SEPTEMBER 8, 1877 The Cajon Irrigation Company has levied an assessment of $10 per share upon the subscribed capital stock of the corporation. The assessment must be paid before the 25th instant. The company has now a force of fifteen men at work, and there can be no doubt of their determination to go on with the enterprise and complete the ditch without delay. There can be less doubt that in their efforts to ameliorate the present condition of things they deserve the substantial support of the entire community. With water—the life blood of the country—coursing through our ditches, it matters very little whether in obtaining it some legal obstructions have been cast to one side. Captain Ferguson met with quite an accident yesterday, which was more disastrous to his buggy than to himself. His horse became frightened and kicked the buggy to pieces. Judge Levering of Los Angeles, the bee man, has hit upon an excellent plan for carrying his bees through the dry spell. He purchases the over-ripe fruit from the farmers, mostly pears, and upon this the bees feed with great relish, devouring it to the very core. Perhaps other bee men in this part of the county can utilize the idea. It stands them in hand to adopt such expedient or let their bees perish. Then, too, it will prove a profitable investment, for the bees which do survive the present disastrous year will be worth something. A Santa Ana correspondent writes that a race between "Fox" and "Mormon George" will take place next Saturday.

A Santa Ana correspondent writes that a race between "Fox" and "Mormon George" will take place next Saturday. Several hundred dollars will change hands on the result. Frank Ey will leave for San Francisco this morning. Freight for the following persons was received last night: J. Fischer, one case coal oil; W. F. Meathman, five packages household goods; Back Brothers, 15 packages furniture; T. Reiser, six empty boxes; W. H. Spurgeon, 40 boxes soap; Frank Ey, one case cigars; D. W. C. Cowan, one windmill; Mrs. A. A. Martin, one plow; Webster, Howe & Company; one case-drygoods; A. Guy Smith & Company, one bale bags; I. Cohen, 10 packages merchandise; F. Hartung, one cask; P. Hammes, five pipes, one barrel; Cahen & Willard, one case cartridges; J. J. Dyer, five boxes soda; H. A. Stough, five packages merchandise; Spees & Morrison, two bars of iron. A teamster named Frank Clark, employed by Halberstadt & Company was the victim of a highway robbery on Tuesday. It seems that he was driving his team to Anaheim Landing, when at a point about five miles west of Anaheim he was met by three men—two Mexicans and a Frenchman—who presented revolvers and demanded his money. The robbers got $5 in silver, a plug of tobacco and a first-class cussing—the latter being administered when they were out of sight. H.H. Wakeham, one of Gospel Swamp's most prosperous farmers, returned to Santa Ana last evening from a visit to England. Mr. Wakeham brought with him "an help-mate" to share the joys and luxuries of his happy home in the Swamp. We are indebted to Assessor Ryan for the following totals of the assessed value of property in Los Angeles county: Real estate, $9,535,246; improvements, $3,607,160; personal property, $2,605,373; money, $119,892; total, $15,857,671. Constable Pullen last evening arrested and lodged in jail a couple of belligerent American citizens, in whom adverse political views and bad whisky had engendered a disposition to fight it out in accordance with views of the P. R. The Anaheim Cemetery Association met yesterday afternoon, and the report of the committee on the windmill was accepted. The cemetery grounds are now supplied with water by an Eclipse windmill. Every lot owner has the privilege of leading a pipe from the water tank to his lot. A row among the sailors at Anaheim Landing yesterday re-resulted in one of them getting badly thrashed. He came to town; swore out a warrant against his assailant, and Marshal Wartenberg went to the Landing and arrested him. The belligerent shell-back was punished $11 worth. Mr. Wilson of the law firm of Barclay & Wilson passed The Anaheim Cemetery Association met yesterday afternoon, and the report of the committee on the windmill was accepted.

He came to town; swore out a warrant against his assailant, and Marshal Wartenberg went to the Landing and arrested him. The belligerent shell-back was punished $11 worth. Mr. Wilson of the law firm of Barclay & Wilson passed through town last evening on his way to Orange. It is his intention to organize a Young Men's Republican Club at that place. Between the printer and the county clerk there have been some previous mistakes made in the Great Register. The names of several old citizens who have voted here for years have been omitted. Leslie Woodruff returned on the train last evening. He has been rambling in Oregon for the past month or two. The last meeting of the campaign in Anaheim was held by the Democracy last night. Colonel Thom, the principal speaker, devoted himself assiduously to Brunton, and attempted an explanation of the charges which have been made against him during the campaign. At a meeting of the members of the Presbyterian church, held yesterday, Mr. D. Edwin Miles was elected trustee for the ensuing three years. At the time of the stage robbery near San Luis Rey, a bundle of valuable papers belonging to the Anaheim Water Company were stolen from the express box. If the thief will return the documents no impertinent questions will be asked. For the information of those farmers who have stacks of sacks of potatoes rotting, we note the fact that yesterday morning not a single spud could be purchased in town. A word to the wise, etc. Ivar W. Weid, United States gauger, arrived on the train last evening. Camp meeting commences today at the old grounds in the willows. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1902 On Sunday, the 21st instant, the cornerstone of the new Catholic church will be laid, with appropriate ceremonies by Bishop Montgomery. The services will consist of solemn high mass, followed by a procession to the site of the new church, where the cornerstone will be laid. The usual documents will be placed therein, as well as copies of newspapers and other articles commemorative of the occasion. The bishop will later deliver a sermon, taking for his topic a subject appropriate to the time and place. The new church will be among the handsomest edifices of its kind in Southern California, constructed of brick veneer, and finished in the latest and most approved style of architecture. Bishop Montgomery has many friends in Orange county, and doubtless the laying of the cornerstone of the new church will be made the occasion of a distinguished gathering in his honor. Bishop Montgomery has been recently chosen by the papal council at Rome to be coadjutor bishop, and will soon transfer his headquarters to San Francisco. This may be the last opportunity of hearing this distinguished and eloquent divine and doubtless a large concourse of our people will attend. The clerks of the city are moving to the end that all stores may be closed on Sunday. Beginning with next week, stores will close at 6 o'clock in the evening. This is for the purpose of affording the employees an opportunity of having an hour or two off and getting acquainted with their family. The proposition to close the stores on Sunday is also commendable, and proprietors should see the reasonableness of the request and close on that day accordingly. Water Resources Of Great Basin Not all rivers flow into the sea. On every continent there are drainage areas in which the rivers flow to inland lakes that have no outlets and from which the surplus water disappears by evaporation. The most notable drainage basin of this kind is perhaps that of the Dead Sea, in Palestine, which receives its water supply largely from the River Jordan. This sea, which is 1200 feet below sea level, is the lowest known water surface on the earth. In western United States there is a similar large area, known as the Great Basin, consisting of nearly all of Nevada, a considerable portion of Utah, and parts of Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, and California, all the rivers of which flow to inland lakes that have no outlets to the ocean. The general climate of the Great Basin, as shown by the records of the United States weather bureau, is of the arid and semi-arid type, so that the water resources of this area are in several respects the life blood of the land. In the winter and spring there is a maximum of precipitation, and the summer and autumn seasons are comparatively dry. The annual precipitation in this region increases rapidly with the altitude. The Great Basin contains large productive farming communities and many important centers of population and industry, and the geological survey of the Department of the Interior has for many years made daily measurements of the principal streams of the region and published the records in annual volumes. Water Supply Paper 570, just issued, is a 180-page report, largely statistical, showing the behavior of the rivers of the Great Basin for the year ending September 30, 1923. Copies may be purchased from the superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., for the cost of printing—25 cents each. The Great Basin is not, as its name might suggest, a single pan-shaped depression gathering its waters to a common center, but is divided into a large number of independent drainage areas, of which the Great Salt Lake Basin is the best known. The Great Salt Basin includes the northern part of Utah, a small part of eastern Nevada, the southeast corner of Idaho, and The clerks of the city are moving to the end that all stores may be closed on Sunday. Beginning with next week, stores will close at 6 o'clock in the evening. This is for the purpose of affording the employees an opportunity of having an hour or two off and getting acquainted with their family. The proposition to close the stores on Sunday is also commendable, and proprietors should see the reasonableness of the request and close on that day accordingly. Wildcats are plentiful in Santiago canyon, although many have been killed by organized hunting parties. The latest cat story which wafts its way over from Santa Ana is said to be told by Judge J. E. Pleasants, who, while out with his dogs last week came upon four wildcats in one tree. Judge Pleasants had no gun, but he climbed the tree and managed to dislodge one cat which, when close pressed by the dogs, scaled the side of a cliff where the dogs could not follow, and the time thus lost was sufficient for the remaining three cats to come down from the tree and make their escape. Company E departed on Saturday for a ten days' encampment at Long Beach. Word comes from the boys that they are enjoying themselves and that the camp is one of the most successful ever held by the regiment. Miss Eva T. Lyons announces in our advertising columns this morning that she is ready to give music lessons at terms satisfactory to pupils. She will also play at parlor concerts and private theatricals and similar entertainments. Miss Lyons is an accomplished pianist, one of the best in Orange county, and guarantees satisfaction to pupils and patrons. Gus Hansen has struck a fine artesian well on his ranch on Orangethorpe avenue. The well is 12 inches in diameter and 580 feet in depth. Water flows over the top of the casing three feet above the surface of the ground to the extent of about 60 miner's inches. The well was drilled by Mr. Jackson of Whittier. McWilliams & Dunn have begun operations on the erection of the new brick block to be erected at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets. The bandstand, which has stood on the corner for several years, has been moved to a place in the rear of the city hall. Mrs. Flora Jacobson has received, through the agent of the New York Life Insurance Company $5000 from an insurance policy carried by the late Max Jacobson in that company. Only three payments had been made on the policy. Mrs. John Hunter was a visitor in town a day or two ago. She has entirely recovered from the effects of the accident sustained by being run into by a railroad train some time ago, and is in the enjoyment of excellent health. Paul Turk and Fred Lewis took their departure yesterday for Terra Haute, Ind., to enter a school of electrical science. Hans Weisel departed some days ago for the same place.

Mr. Korn and Miss Marie Horstman, who have been touring Europe for some months, have returned to San Francisco, and are looked for to arrive here in a few days. Mrs. Robert Parker left some days ago for San Francisco to visit her son, Minor Kieth, who some-time ago enlisted in the navy, and lately sustained an accident while on duty on his vessel. Tuesday was an off day for the three carriers of rural delivery, and each one had an accident. Frank Eastman, when starting on his route, found himself minus a wheel, which came off as he was about to begin his journey. Mrs. Eastman had a spring broken at West Anaheim and had to return to have the wagon repaired. Carrier Towner had a breakdown while out on route no. 3, and had to pay a man $2 to fetch him home. Mr. and Mrs. I. R. Williams of Buena Park have gone to Haywards, Alameda county, for a visit with friends and relatives. They will be absent several weeks. A. T. Pendleton and family have retuned to their Placentia home from a stay of several weeks at Newport Beach. Joseph Nichols, Republican candidate for sheriff, was in town yesterday, shaking hands with friends. C. H. Nickey, the plumber, has moved his plumbing shop to the Cole building on Los Angeles street. Mr. Kealiher, accompanied the soldier boys on their trip to Long Beach on Saturday morning. Al Smith and family returned on Friday afternoon from a fortnight's sojourn at Newport Beach.
