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 27, 1877 The judicial election in San Juan Capistrano was a warmly contested one. Ninety-six votes were cast—the largest vote ever polled in that precinct. The result was as follows: Stephens, 60; Ellis, 32; R. Egan, 66; Dr. Crane, 63; W. H. Maker, 28; F. Riverin, 26; H. Charles, 1. Dick Egan and Dr. Crane were the successful candidates for justice of the peace. Dick hasn't been in San Juan for months, and at present is rusticating in San Francisco. But until he issues an official manifesto to his constituents, requiring them under pains and penalties to refrain from voting for him, they will continue for the next hundred years to elect him to the highest office within their gift. The Moore family will give a performance tomorrow evening at Kroeger's hall. George Moore as a comic actor and delineator of Dutch and Irish characters has no equal on the Pacific coast. He is a whole team by himself. His accomplished wife, Kitty Henderson, is a beautiful and talented actress, and as a dancer has no superior. Baby Moore has recovered from her accident and will appear with the troupe. The whole performance will be far superior to anything ever given in Anaheim, and we bespeak for George, who is the prince of good fellows, a cordial reception. A Los Angeles paper says that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company is to begin planting the 500,000 eucalyptus trees which have been raised for it by Major Locke of Pasadena as soon as sufficient rain falls to the ground easy to work. The plan A Los Angeles paper says that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company is to begin planting the 500,000 eucalyptus trees which have been raised for it by Major Locke of Pasadena as soon as sufficient rain falls to render the ground easy to work. The plan of planting them continuously along the line of the road has been abandoned as being too expensive in the item of cultivation, and the company now expects to plant them in forests at each station along their line of road in Southern California. McFadden Brothers of Newport have concluded arrangements whereby they are enabled to land freight at the Wilmington wharf. Mr. A. C. Nixon, well known to Anaheim people, was drowned on Sunday while bathing at the Mesa. He lost his balance in the surf and was swept out by the undertow. He leaves a wife and several children. Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Company have purchased the stock and good will of Halberstadt & Company. The yard at Anaheim Landing will be continued as heretofore, but the lumber and material at the yard on Palm street will be removed at once to Smith & Company's yard near the railroad depot. The next grand jury will meet November 5. Isaac Cohen of Anaheim has been summoned as a juror. Mr. Strong of Westminster has been appointed agent for the sale of Japanese persimmon trees in southern Los Angeles county. So much has been said about this fruit that it is not necessary to describe them here. They are being largely introduced on this coast and in the East, and are, we believe, a very desirable tree to have. Persons wishing full information can get descriptive circulars by addressing or calling on Mr. Strong, and intending purchasers should do so at once. Mr. John P. Zeyn returned from San Francisco on Sunday, and on Monday evening he was honored with a serenade by the brass band. Mr. Zeyn is very much improved, and is in a fair way to speedily recover his usual robust health. County Superintendent Saxon gives notice that the Teachers' Institute will convene at Union hall, Los Angeles, on Monday, November 19, and continued throughout the week. Professors Carr, Allen, Martling and other distinguished educators will be in attendance. We sincerely condole with Mr. and Mrs. H. Kroger on the death of their infant son, Adolf, which occurred on Saturday. Mr. G. D. Plato returned from San Francisco on Sunday. He made extensive purchases in the city, and an inspection of his new stock will give shoppers great pleasure. The state and county taxes for the fiscal year 1877-78 are now due and payable and will become delinquent on Monday, January 7, 1878. Tax Collector Kremer will visit some of the towns throughout the county to receive the taxes. He will visit We sincerely condole with Mr. and Mrs. H. Kroger on the death of their infant son, Adolf, which occurred on Saturday. Mr. G. D. Plato returned from San Francisco on Sunday.

The state and county taxes for the fiscal year 1877-78 are now due and payable and will become delinquent on Monday, January 7, 1878. Tax Collector Kremer will visit some of the towns throughout the county to receive the taxes. He will visit this section as follows: In San Juan Capistrano, at Mendelson's store, on Thursday, November 8; at Santa Ana, at Spurgeon's store, on Friday, November 9; in Fountain valley, at Mr. Edington's house, on Saturday, November 10; in Anaheim, at Anaheim hotel, on Monday, November 12. Copies of a petition for a road through Brea canyon and the Chino ranch to San Bernardino, as published in last week's Gazette, are now in Westminster at the Co-operative store and at the Garden Grove store for signatures. The object of this petition is to have the old road put in repair and declared a county road by the supervisors. Messrs Fischer, Rimpau, Langerberger and others of this city testify that the road was traveled 27 years ago. It can be put in perfect condition for $1500, and will furnish a good firm highway at all seasons of the year, and is the shortest route from San Bernardino to the coast. Judge Evey states that the supervisors voted to declare and record it as a county road two years ago, but that it was not done. The sum required is small, the distance through Brea canyon to the Chino plains is short, and from there to San Bernardino and Riverside is a hard, graveled roadbed that will always be in repair. The citizens of San Bernardino and Riverside want a wagon road to the sea. This will give it by the only route passable at all times of the year, and save from five to eight miles over any other road, besides costing less to keep it in repair. When Wilmington was the government point of supply for Southern California and Arizona, all teaming and marching to Fort Yuma was over this road; by re-opening it so that San Bernardino can use is, much is done toward maintaining Anaheim Landing. This is an important point and it is hoped that all will sign the petition immediately, so that it can be presented at the next meeting of the supervisors. Mr. Ames has succeeded Mr. S. Shale as conductor of the Anaheim branch of the Southern Pacific railroad. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1902 A meeting of property owners on Broadway was held at the city hall on Friday evening for the purpose of discussing the advisability of constructing a cement sidewalk on Broadway from Olive street to Clementine. It was agreed that a cement sidewalk should be constructed on the south side of the street, property owners on the north side not being ready for the improvement. J. B. Rae presided and H. A. McWilliams acted as secretary. Pending negotiations relative to laying cement walks upon both sides of the street, the meeting adjourned to the call of the chair. The enterprising residents of Broadway are resolved to make it the finest residence in the city and are going ahead with energetic spirit to make it so. The first rain of the season fell on Thursday night, when .41 of an inch was recorded by Mr. Dickel's gauge. Rain is not wanted for a month yet. These October rains do more harm than good. They interfere with the walnut harvest; start beets to their second growth, and in other respects are several kinds of nuisance. They start the grass, and if not followed by further showers in the succeeding month, the result is that the grass dies, the crop is hard to resuscitate, and stock suffers. Moreover, they are generally regarded as being precursors of dry seasons—that at least has been the case during the past several years. The best seasons hereabouts, the oldest inhabitant says, are those in which no rain falls up to Thanksgiving or thereabout. Up to this time last year two inches had fallen, and during a number Two La Habra Banks Sold to Frisco Bank Fernch American Corporation Buys Both InstitutionsThe First National Bank and the Citizens' Commercial and Savings Bank, both of La Habra, have been acquired by the French American Corporation of San Francisco, it was announced by James Walker, president of the First National Bank and a director of the Citizens' bank. The purchase, Walker said, involves an exchange in stock only, all stockholders of the two La Habra banks receiving in exchange for their stock shares in the larger banking institution. The French American Corporation has resources aggregating $130,000,000. It owns the Security Trust Company, in Bakersfield, of which the two La Habra banks will become branches. The management of the First National Bank is as follows: James H. Walker, president; H. E. Hart, vice-president; H. O. Price, F. E. Proud, R. F. Frantz, John Leutwiler and A. M. Otis, directors; Ralph Maxwell, Mrs. J. E. Brown and Miss Flora Luehm, assistant cashiers. Officers and directors of the Citizens' Commercial and Savings Bank are: W. F. Espolt, president; J. G. Launer, vice-president; George L. Dordon, cashier, and John Luehm, E. L. Journiagan, John Knudson and James H. Walker, directors. Interesting Bills At United Theatre Three Popular Plays to Be Presented to Patrons In "A Passionate Adventure," showing at the United Theatre October 27, 28, and 29, Adrian St. Clair and his wife, Drusilla, are partners in a wealthy but passionless marriage.

After the war, the man returns with the more elemental side of his nature aroused, but Drusilla still shrinks from physical demonstration of affection. Disappointed, Orlan seeks diversion, and finds it in an adventure in the slums, where going to the rescue of a girl known as Vickey, he is seriously injured by a criminal. Herb Harris, Adrian is carried to the girl's room, where she nurses him for several days, during which it becomes obvious that she has fallen in love with him. He successfully fights down the temptation to accept this love and returns home to Drusilla, who has in the meanwhile learned her lesson. But at the critical moment Adrian goes back to the slums to again save Vickey from Harris, and this adventure leads to Adrian being found in Vickey's room with Harris' body. Vickey has escaped, and having discovered Adrian's identity, goes to Drusilla with the story of how she struck the fatal blow. Scotland plays "cat and mouse" with the Clairs, and there are many moments of suspense before an unexpected development allows Adrian and Drusilla to embark upon the normal happiness of marriage. "The Rose of Kildare," at the United Theatre next Sunday, is an unusually appealing photodrama, with a story of such compelling power and emotional force that it strikes straight at the heart-strings. Adapted by Harold Shumate from Gerald Beaumont's story of the same name, it tells of an Irish colleen, whose love for her gossoon remained undimmed throughout the years even though his thoughts were not always of her. Barry Nunan left Eileen O'More to seek his fortune in other lands, although he wrote a song for her to sing and promised to return. Years later she is known as the Irish Nightingale and is the delight of the habitues of the Eldorado cafe in Kimberly, South Africa. Here she meets Barry again, but only to find him married, so she accepts a proposal to marry the proprietor of the Eldorado. After his death, she goes to San Francisco with her young daughter and opens a road-house and garbling resort. Meanwhile, Barry is district attorney and his son his assistant. His son, Larry, meets Eileen's daughter and it is a case of love at first sight. Barry Nunan, all unknowing that his old sweetheart is the owner of the gambling house, conducts a raid on the place, but in spite of all the love of the two old sweethearts survives and the picture ends in a double romance.

Baker, editor of the Santa Ana Bulletin, died at his residence in that city a few minutes past midnight on Sunday morning, after a lingering illness. He was one of the pioneers of Santa Ana, having come in 1883, when that town was but a hamlet. Mr. Baker was a man of genius and ability as a writer, and for about twenty years has been a prominent figure in Democratic politics of Southern California. Upon his arrival in Santa Ana, in 1883, he purchased the Standard. He sold it in 1898 and determined to retire from active business, but within a year was back again editing the Bulletin, of which he was the founder. John Johnson returned on Thursday from the Dale mining district, after an absence of two months. While at the mines he blasted a tank out of the rock of sufficient size to hold 400 barrels of water, which is supplied in abundance by springs. Mr. Johnson drove as far as Banning, from which point the mines are 85 miles due east on the meridian line. From Banning he took the cars in by way of Riverside and Redlands. At the latter point, he informs us, considerable building activity is in progress. The iron front for Mrs. Mitchell's new brick block is being placed in position. The brick work is nearing completion. Next will come the roof, and after that the plate glass front, which will be one of the finest in Southern California. The building will be ready for occupancy the first of the year. Sergeant Sprock Fossek is carrying his right hand in a sling as a result of an accident at the range while Company E was at target practice on Tuesday. He was behind the 200-yard target and, seeing a puff of smoke at the firing line, thought a marksman was shooting, and dropped to the ground instanter. The marksman was firing at the 500-yard target, but Sprock's hand was cut on an old can lying behind the target, the thumb being almost severed. The wound was bandaged up, and now Sprock is enjoying a phalanx. Sprock went to Los Angeles several days ago and joined the Typographical Union. He has his eye on a soft sit in the state pritting office. Bishop Johnson of this diocese will make his annual visitation to St. Michael's on Sunday, November 2, when he will administer the rite of confirmation. There will also be a celebration of the holy communion. H. Cahen came down from Los Angeles to spend Sunday with his family here. Mrs. Cahen accompanied him to the city on Monday morning for the purpose of looking over the residence district with a view to renting a home. It is probable the family will soon remove to Los Angeles to reside.

Mr. Fiscus, who recently purchased several building lots in the city, has had plans drawn for a fine residence on Los Angeles street, near Broadway. He has moved the residence which stood on the lot to its new location on Lemon street. Mr. Fiscus makes a very desirable acquisition to the population of the community. The Republican meeting which was to have taken place at the opera house on Saturday evening has been called off, and on that evening Yorba will stage an enthusiastic demonstration. On Friday evening Samuel Shortridge will speak at Santa Ana at one of the biggest meetings of the campaign. The Americus Club of Pasadena will attend and will march with the Columbia Club. Last evening the faithful wended their way to the classic shades of San Juan, where they whooped things up in lively fashion for the ticket. The Catholic fair which held the boards at the opera house on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, was probably the most successful affair of its kind ever held in the county. On Thursday evening there were addresses by Judge Ballard and I. O. Daniel of Santa Ana, and a vocal selection by Mrs. Rice of Tustin. Around the hall were many booths. All did a flourishing business. In the hall below the ladies served an excellent dinner. Mrs. Koenig presented the Catholic fair with a beautiful cake. It was decorated in an artistic and appropriate manner, the whole being surmounted by a cross and crown supported by angels. The cake brought $20 in the raffle and won by Fred Backs. Gus Strodthoff is home from Cananea, Mexico, on sick leave, having been down with typhoid fever for several weeks. His condition is reported as improved, and he will doubtless be able soon to be out again. proposal to marry the proprietor of the Eldorado.

The cast that Director Dallas Fitzgerald has assembled in indeed a superlative one. Helene Chadwick is seen in the title role and Pat O'Malley plays opposite her. Henry B. Walthall plays a sterling character part, and Ena Gregory and Carroll Nye play the two youthful lovers. Lee Moran furnishes the comedy relief. Tuesday night The Hart Players will present the three-act comedy drama "Nothing But the Truth." This is a clean-cut comedy and is brim full of screaming comedy and funny situations, and if you enjoy a hearty laugh, don't miss seeing this performance. OUR BIGGEST MARKET According to a recent statement issued by the Bureau of Railway Economics, four principal cities—New York, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia—use a large part of the United States orange crop. Figures were based on total unloads of 42,290 carloads at 36 principal markets, among which the four cities mentioned accounted for 23,016 carloads, or over 50 per cent. These figures bring to light the importance of the country's largest distributing centers. California oranges attained wider distribution according to the report which showed a greater percentage of the total Florida crop, than of the California, sold in each of these four cities. It is reported that the title of Kentucky Colonel is to become passe. Well, with the passing of the mint Julep what else could you expect?
