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, OCTOBER 13, 1877 On last Wednesday evening a construction train of fifteen cars arrived at the Anaheim depot. The cars were loaded with horses, wagons, carts, and other implements used in railroad construction. The working force consists of about one hundred and twenty-five Chinamen, and about fifteen white men, exclusive of the engineers. It is the intention of the company to have the road completed to Santa Ana in two or three weeks at the most. The total distance of the new extension will be about seven miles. Five and a half or six miles of this distance was graded a couple of years ago, but in addition to repairing all breaks and washes on the grade it will be necessary to raise it about six inches. The engineers arrived on Thursday evening, and on Friday morning active operations were begun. For the past week Judge Underhill, representing the railroad company, has been in Santa Ana, securing a right-of-way and working up a subsidy. He asked the citizens to give $14,000 to have the depot located in town, but he was finally prevailed upon to accept $10,110, as that was the utmost that could be raised after the most desperate exertions. It is said that the judge declared, with tears in his eyes, that the liberality displayed and the concessions made by the railroad company would inevitably result in the utter ruin of that corporation. Part of this subsidy is paid in land at a fixed valuation. The 40 acres upon which the depot is to be located was given by Mr. Fruit at a valuation of... For the past week Judge Underhill, representing the railroad company, has been in Santa Ana, securing a right-of-way and working up a subsidy. He asked the citizens to give $14,000 to have the depot located in town, but he was finally prevailed upon to accept $10,110, as that was the utmost that could be raised after the most desperate exertions. It is said that the judge declared, with tears in his eyes, that the liberality displayed and the concessions made by the railroad company would inevitably result in the utter ruin of that corporation. Part of this subsidy is paid in land at a fixed valuation. The 40 acres upon which the depot is to be located was given by Mr. Fruit at a valuation of $100 per acre. Mr. Spurgeon also donates 30 acres within one mile of the city, in lieu of cash payment. There is but little doubt that the company would have taken anything offered, as they were ready to make the extension, and would have made it if they hadn't got a cent. It is said that the company has agreed that, on consideration of the subsidy given them, they will build the usual warehouse, turntable and roundhouse, and make Santa Ana the present terminus of the road, but Judge Underhill emphatically refused to state how long it would remain the terminus. He said, however, that the company had no present intention of extending it further. The depot will be located one-half mile east of the intersection of Main and Fourth streets, the center of the town plat, but as the business portion of the town is now about the corners of the streets above mentioned, it may be said that the depot is half a mile from town. Those owning land contiguous to the depot and who will of course be greatly benefitted thereby are: J. H. Fruit, Ed. Mateer, W. H. Spurgeon, H. Wakeham, and Mr. Dresser. There are others whose names we have been unable to learn. In the list of premiums for exhibits at the fair held lately in Los Angeles, we find the following: William Konig, best California wine, white, port and Angelica; Mrs. Kate Parker, woolen blankets; Mrs. A. L. Beckington, one quilt, knit stockings, and general display of fancy needlework; Heiman & George, best display of dried fruits, vegetables, and included apples, pears, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, and squashes; N. Gray, best California lime juice; J. H. Gregg, Orange, best sweet rind lemon; L. A. Carey, Westminster, best butter; A. Perry, Trabuca canyon, best honey; J. Willey, Westminster, fruit gatherer; Mrs. Messenger, Orange, silk embroidery, moss work; ;L. Parker, Anaheim, Siberian crab apple; Messrs. Hutzell, Perdew, Bates, and Prest, of Santa Ana, exhibited big vegetables. The total receipts of the fair amounted to about $2500. Dr. A. S. Worrell, of Orange, has purchased a residence on Alameda street, Los Angeles. Mr. Buster has leased the Anaheim hotel and will endeavor to make it popular with the traveling public. Asa Ellis, assemblyman-elect from this county, is in Sacramento. Messrs. Layman and Caldwell intend to leave Anaheim in a few days to take up their residence in Santa Ana. We are sorry for this, for they are large-hearted gentlemen and good citizens, and any community can ill afford to lose such men. May their future be attended with the greatest measure of success.

On Wednesday night some Indians cut the mosquito netting covering one of the windows of Mr. Chamber's house, on Los Angeles street and, reaching through the open window, abstracted a calico dress which happened to be within reach. The thief escaped arrest. Messrs. McFadden, Fruit and Kuffle, of Santa Ana, have purchased some of Colonel Saxe's thoroughbred Berkshires. Marshal Wartenberg informs us that the Indians now so numerous in town and vicinity are getting ugly, scarcely a day passing without a bloody row taking place among them. It is the general belief that unless their supply of aguadiente is summarily shut off, it will not be long ere a serious outbreak will occur. In view of the heavy penalty imposed by law upon those convicted of selling liquor to Indians, it is strange that so many will run the risfI of detection for the small profit accruing. George Peters, brother of Mr. Peters of Santa Ana, met with quite a severe accident last week, which resulted in the dislocation of his arm at the shoulder. He rode up to a tree with the purpose of securing a switch and, while leaning over, the horse started off, throwing him to the ground, dislocating his shoulder. Sam Finley of Westminster has a pumpkin vine 59 feet long that bore 140 pumpkins, weighing in the aggregate 1390 pounds. The Los Angeles Herald thinks that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company should not be held responsible for every evil under which we suffer, including the drouth. The Herald is right. The blanked black Republican party is to blame for that. Doctor Fulton is doing quite a business at his new and enlarged bath house, supplied with hot and cold water from his artesian sulphur wells, located one and a half miles northeast of Norwalk station. The doctor, whi is at present visiting relatives in Mississippi, intends to build a large hotel for invalids upon his return from the east. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century By Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1902 The city was ablaze with colored electric lights on the occasion of the turnfest. When the visitors arrived on Saturday evening, they found the town illuminated from one end to the other. Hundreds of colored globes burned brightly overhead and flags and bunting appeared everywhere. The turners were made to feel entirely at home. The festivities began with a concert at Music hall, which was crowded to the doors. Singing was participated in by the singing sections of vereins from Los Angeles, San Diego and Anaheim, the conductors being Professor Thomas, Professor Cintura, and Herr Boeckh. The program was one of rare excellence. The combined choruses with seventy voices were never excelled in Southern California. On Sunday morning a special train arrived from Los Angeles bearing 500 people, who came to take part in the day's festivities. Athletic exercises were later held at Columbia grove, on the outskirts of town, and were witnessed by upwards of a thousand people. At 8 p.m. the prize singing contest took place in Music hall, which was crowded. Anaheim, Los Angeles and San Diego competed. Los Angeles was awarded first prize, and San Diego second. Each town has won the prize once. The prize is an elegant cut-glass punch bowl, valued at $100. On Monday there was a tally-ho ride to points of interest hereabout in the morning, and a farewell banquet in the afternoon. Great credit for the success of the meeting is due Herr Carl Entremann of the Schwaben verein of Los Angeles, and Lights Don’t Increase Production of Eggs Electric lights to lengthen the working day for the hen have not improved egg production under California conditions, according to a preliminary survey made by L. W. Fluharty, farm management specialist in the agricultural extension service of the University of California. In the county where Fluharty made the study not only did the electric lights not increase production, but the hens in flocks where the lights were not used laid more eggs. "The study is but fragmentary," says Fluharty, "and until we have gone further we cannot make a definite statement. But in the county where the study was made the profits per hen were much higher than where lights were used." In the flocks where no lights were used the hens averaged 153 eggs per year, with a profit per hen of $1.80; where lights were turned on between 5 o'clock and 6 o'clock, the per hen production was 143 and the per hen profit $1.49; where the lights were turned on between 4:30 and 4:45, the production was 143 and the profit $1.53; where the lights were turned on between 4 o'clock and 4:20, the production was 125 and the per hen profit 97 cents. Where no lights were used, 75 pounds of feed were used per hen, at a cost of $2.15, or 16.9 cents per dozen eggs. The mortality percentage was 15.1. The percentage of No. 1 eggs was 79, the price per dozen was 35.2 cents, the per hen production 153 eggs, and the farm profit per hen $1.80. Where the lights were turned on between 5 and 6 o'clock, 74.7 pounds of feed were used, at a cost of $2.15, a per dozen eggs cost of 18.3 cents. Mortality was 18.1 per cent. No. 1 eggs were 73.9 per cent of total production, the price received averaged 35.4 cents, the per hen production was 143 eggs, and the farm profit was $1.53. Where lights were turned on at from 4 o'clock to 4:20 the feed consumed was 71.1 pounds, at a cost of $2.17, a per dozen eggs cost of 20.9 cents. Mor On Sunday morning a special train arrived from Los Angeles bearing 500 people, who came to take part in the day's festivities. Athletic exercises were later held at Columbia grove, on the outskirts of town, and were witnessed by upwards of a thousand people. At 8 p.m. the prize singing contest took place in Music hall, which was crowded. Anaheim, Los Angeles and San Diego competed. Los Angeles was awarded first prize, and San Diego second. Each town has won the prize once. The prize is an elegant cut-glass punch bowl, valued at $100. On Monday there was a tally-ho ride to points of interest hereabout in the morning, and a farewell banquet in the afternoon. Great credit for the success of the meeting is due Herr Carl Entenmann of the Schwaben verein of Los Angeles, and also to the local turners who worked unceasingly to make the meeting a success. There was a battle royal between Winter of San Diego and Henning of Los Angeles for first honors with the odds slightly in favor of the San Diego man. Among local turners F. A. Yungbluth, F. Martin, and Turk captured prizes. Mr. H. Cahen has purchased an interest in the Lazarus-Melzer paper house in Los Angeles and is now a partner in the firm. Mr. Melzer retires. The new firm consists of Mr. Lazarus, Mr. Cahen and Mr. Newmark of Los Angeles. The house is one of the oldest and best established in the city. John Hart spent Monday and Tuesday with friends in town. John is getting younger as the years go by. He owns a yacht at San Pedro, which, however, had the bad taste to become wrecked some time ago, and in Los Angeles never rides in anything but an automobile. He came down to look after his walnut crop, which promises to bring him in a barrel of money. When he gets it he is going to have the finest yacht afloat at San Pedro. Mrs. L. C. Bailey, accompanied by her little son and daughter, arrived on Tuesday evening from Phoenix, A. T., where she has been visiting relatives. She leaves shortly for San Francisco to take steamer for her home in Mazatlan. At a meeting of Fullerton business men the Fullerton board of trade was organized with W. T. Brown president, Jacob Stern vice-president, Vivian Tresslar secretary, and the First National bank treasurer. Five directors were elected as follows: Jacob Stern, W. T. Brown, T. B. Van Alstyne, E. W. Dean and Vivian Tresslar. The objects of this organization are to provide electric lights for the streets and take such steps as may be necessary to provide adequate fire protection. Other matters of interest to the development and prosperity of the town will be taken up. Twenty-two prominent business men joined and, when the organization is completed, it is expected there will be fifty members. The children in the West Anaheim and Garden Grove sections who are down with diphtheria are all reported to be doing well. There are eight cases, but all are light. School at the West End will probably begin next week. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Whann were visitors in town during the week from Los Angeles. Mr. Whann played with the Metropolitan band and demonstrated that he is quite as expert a musician as when he resided here and organized the best band that ever played in the county. Mrs. M. L. Rogers left on Tuesday for New York on a visit to relatives and friends. Mr. Rogers remains to look after the walnut crop and will depart probably the latter part of the month. President Lake Believes in Santa H. A. Lake, president of the Orange County Fair, is now firmly convinced that there is a Santa Claus. While paying the many bills accruing from the last big exposition, Mr. Lake was gradually forming the opinion that everybody and all his relatives were considering the Orange County Fair a public pork barrel. Yet, while harboring these dark blue thoughts, a brilliant ray of sunshine was cast over the ledger sheet by the receipt of a letter from S. L. Harrell, funeral director, in which he stated that the use of his ambulance during the Orange County Fair was provided without any charge. It was also learned that the Southern California Fence Company, who had provided the playground equipment for the day nursery, was making no charge, but had donated their service in cooperation with the fair. Walnut Growers To Inspect Plants The agricultural extension service and the walnut growers' department of the farm bureau have arranged an educational tour for walnut growers next Thursday afternoon, October 13th, at 2 p.m., to inspect and study the merits of various walnut dehydrators in operation in Orange county. The different machines will be in actual operation so that the growers may see the method of running each type. Farm Advisor Waliberg has secured Prof. A.W. Christie, dehydration specialist, and W.B. Hooper, specialist in walnut culture, to be present to discuss the question of dehydration economies. Professor Christie has spent many years, through his department at the college of agriculture, studying all phases of the dehydration and is considered one of the foremost authorities on the subject. The comparative costs of running the different machines will be presented to the growers according to plans. The tour will start at H.R.Smith's ranch, on Prospect avenue, one-half mile south of First street, Tustin, at Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Whann were visitors in town during the week from Los Angeles. Mr. Whann played with the Metropolitan band and demonstrated that he is quite as expert a musician as when he resided here and organized the best band that ever played in the county. Mrs. M. L. Rogers left on Tuesday for New York on a visit to relatives and friends. Mr. Rogers remains to look after the walnut crop and will depart probably the latter part of the month. Rev. A. F. Hilmer, the new pastor of the German Methodist Epsicopal church, preached his first sermon to an appreciative congregation on Sunday. He arrived with his family from Wisconsin last week. He extends a kindly invitation to all German-speaking residents to attend his meetings, where all will be welcome. F. P. Nickey of Santa Ana was married in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon to Mrs. Rosaline Chesbro, formerly of Santa Ana, but for some time a resident of Los Angeles. Mr. and Mrs. Nickey left immediately for San Francisco, where they will spend a few days before returning to make their home in Santa Ana. Mr. Nickey is chairman of the Orange county board of supervisors. Ed Zeus has been ill at home during the past week with a threatened attack of typhoid fever. His condition was yesterday reported to be improved, and it is hoped he will soon be able to be out again. J. B. Cameron has returned to his home in West Anaheim, after an absence of upward of a year in Bisbee, A. T., where he is engaged in mining. Captain Ahlborn has been re-elected to the command of Company E. Herman Stern was elected first lieutenant and Ed A. Zeus second lieutenant. Drs. Newmark and Dectoch of Los Angeles were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Falkenstein on Sunday. Richard Krebs came down from the Santa Anita to take in the sights of the turnfest. Mr. and Mrs. I. R. Williams have returned from a trip to Alameda. Prof. A. W. Christie, dehydration specialist, and W. B. Hooper, specialist in walnut culture, to be present to discuss the question of dehydration economics. Professor Christie has spent many years, through his department at the college of agriculture, studying all phases of the dehydration and is considered one of the foremost authorities on the subject. The comparative costs of running the different machines will be presented to the growers, according to plans. The tour will start at H. R. Smith's ranch, on Prospect avenue, one-half mile south of First street, Tustin, at 2 p.m., Thursday. Here a newly installed Ward dehydrator will be shown, housed in a modern fireproof building. The Bauer machine, manufactured locally by G. I. Dauer of West Orange, will be shown at the Harry Lewis ranch, on East Fourth street, at the second stop. The third stop will feature a Bishop dehydrator in operation at the Charles Hallett place at Tustin, Main street, corner of Lyon. The tour is open to all walnut growers and is a special opportunity to get first-handed information concerning these three principal makes. Bailey Will Speak At Garden Grove Preparations are being made for a large attendance at the Garden Grove Farm Center meeting tonight, and in order to allow the speaker, Paul Bailey, Orange county flood control engineer, plenty of time to develop his subject, the meeting will begin promptly at 7:30 o'clock. What is to be done about controlling the flood waters of Orange county is of supreme importance to the farmers and doubles them will all be anxious to know Mr. Bailey's plans and conclusions evolving from his preliminary surveys of the situation.
