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, NOVEMBER 17, 1877 On Thursday morning, about 1:45 o'clock, our townspeople were startled by the clanging of the fire bell. The vigilant officer had discovered flames issuing from the house in which the gas generator was placed. In a very few minutes our valiant firemen, accompanied by many of the citizens, were at the scene. It was useless to attempt the quenching of the flames, and dangerous to approach too near the burning building, as there were three tanks of gasoline which were ready to explode as soon as the fire reached them. There was not a breath of wind and no danger of the flames spreading to the surrounding buildings, so nothing was to be done but to watch the hot, white flames as the ymounted toward the heavens, and listen to the dull thud of the tanks as they burst with the intense heat. The fire lasted for about two hours, melting and turning the iron of the generator into a thousand shapes. The loss is estimated at about $2000. Fortunately for the community, Mr. Bennerscheidt had a small machine which was put into place on Thursday and which will furnish light until the burnt one can be replaced. A delegation of Cahuillas is in town for the purpose of presenting their grievances to the land office. It seems that white men have been squatting on their lands and are now attempting to validate their claims by entry in the land department. These Indians are located in the desert, on the line and just southeast of the railroad. They have several little villages, and are fearful A delegation of Cahuillas is in town for the purpose of presenting their grievances to the land office. It seems that white men have been squatting on their lands and are now attempting to validate their claims by entry in the land department. These Indians are located in the desert, on the line and just southeast of the railroad. They have several little villages, and are fearful that white squatters will crowd them out of their homes. It is to be hoped that the government will see that these friendly Indians are protected in their lands. The rainfall on Sunday last was quite heavy in the country south of us. At Santa Margarita about two inches of rain fell, at San Luis Rey an inch and a half, and up the San Luis valley and at Temecula from two and half to three and a half inches. We are sorry to note that several of the fine orange trees at the residence of Mr. Gus Davis were seriously injured by the wind on Thursday. About three months ago, Messrs. Hodgkins and Wood transplanted four budded orange trees of the St. Michael's variety from Mr. Garey's nursery in Los Angeles to Pasadena without extra care or attention. Three of the trees then contained a few small oranges about the size of robins' eggs, and in spite of the removal have kept on growing and bid fair to mature, while the other tree is now full of blossoms. These little trees were hauled 10 miles in warm weather, without sacking, and not yet two years old. A gentleman passing along Los Angeles street on Monday, found a half dollar near The Gazette office. We have repeatedly cautioned our devil to be more careful about the sweepings, as we have no doubt that large quantities of $20 gold pieces and half dollars are daily wasted in that manner. A large water spout burst in Brea canyon on Sunday night. The stream was filled with water, which came down with terrifying force, carrying everything before it. The most of the water was forced out upon what is known as Coyote flat. Mr. Wartenberg, in attempting to cross the flat with a wagon on Monday morning, narrowly escaped drowning, and the party with him, Mr. F. Backs, Mrs. Rehm and the infant child of J. Backs, were with great difficulty saved from a watery grave. The water in many places was very deep and the current swift. We examined yesterday the ladders manufactured by T. S. Grimshaw for the Anaheim fire department. They appear to be light and durable and admirably fitted for the purpose for which they are intended. The extension ladders are of simple and ingenious contrivance. A large sack of coal from the new coal mine in the Santiago mountains was brought into town on Tuesday. Its burning qualities will be tested in the grate at the bank. On the evening of Thanksgiving Day, a ball will be given at Fairview Grange hall. The committee of arrangements are L. A. Evans, G. L. Dean and Byron O. Clark. Reception committee—H. Clay Kellogg, C. M. Woodruff, T. W. Cook. Floor Managers—J. H. Givin and G. A. Greeley.

Sixty-five sacks were shipped by Mr. James Shuggs. They average sixty pounds to the sack, and realize the owners eight and a half cents per pound. Supervisor Spurgeon and Mr. W. R. Olden inspected the road through Brea canyon yesterday. Messrs. G. D. Plato and M. L. Goodman returned last evening from San Francisco. Mr. Pete Richards returned from Yuma. The Dramatic and Literary Society will meet at the residence of Mr. Seibert on Monday evening. "The "Rudo Ensaya," an old book, written over one hundred years ago, speaks of the Pima Indians as cultivating fertile fields which yielded cotton in such abundance that there always remained great quantities more than the Indians had use for. The Pimas still occupy the very same lands on the Gila, but their facilities for buying ready woven fabrics have caused them to discontinue the cultivation of cotton. This crop is yet destined to figure largely among the exports of Arizona.—Yuma Sentinel. Miss Ella Green was the best equestrienne on the track at Agricultural park on Wednesday, and carried off the prize. She was the only contestant. Mr. W. D. Stephenson has entered into a co-partnership with Mr. M. L. Wicks and will practice law in Anahemi. Mr. Wicks, we understand, will here after make his residence in Los Angeles. A very pleasant party met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Yarndley on Monday evening for the purpose of organizing a dramatic, literary, and musical society. We understand it is their intention to give a public exhibition at some future day. 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, NOVEMBER 13, 1902 Workmen employed in excavating for the Salt Lake bridge over the Santa Ana river the other day unearthed the remains of a mastodon. The find was made in the bed of the river, a short distance from the channel, and but a little way below the surface. Mr. Brown, who has charge of a branch of the work, announced the nature of the find. He has resided in Alaska and is familiar with the mastodons found in those latitudes. When exposed to the air the remains, with the exception of the tusks, quickly dissipated into dust. The largest tusk thus far brought to light is about 16 inches long and 6 inches in diameter. When the find was reported to S. C. Evans of Riverside, he went down and secured the specimen, placing it under a glass case to prevent further disintegration. He secured permission to make further investigations, and has had the land immediately about the find fenced off, and will go about the explorations in a systematic way. The find promises to be of the greatest scientific value from the fact that never before has any of the mastodon species been found this far south. Gus Strodthoff has recovered from an attack of typhoid fever, and will depart about the firstof December for Jerome, Arizona. to take his old place with Senator Clark's copper mining establishment. He resigned the position some time ago and accepted one with the Cananea copper syndicate in Sonora, Mexico. He was at his new position only a few days when attacked by Foreign Relations Will Be Discussed Institute of International Relations to Meet at Riverside "American Commerce and World Peace" is one of the evening lectures, open to the public, scheduled for the second annual session of the Institute of International Relations, to meet at Riverside, November 27-December 3, with President R. B. von Kleinsdid of the University of Southern California as chancellor, and Dr. K. C. Leebrick of the University of Hawaii as director. A member of the advisory committee of the institute, General Tasker H. Bliss of Washington, D. C., remarks: "It is the business men of a few great nations that will decide most of the future questions of war and peace. Can they not establish a working rule that will guarantee a fair distribution of the natural products of the world—that will assure a supply of coal, iron, copper, oil, or what-not in the markets of the world without the constant apprehension of political interference?" With representatives of industrial, civic, commercial, political, scientific, and educational organizations taking part, round table conferences attended by members of the institute and delegates will be held each morning, discussing "World Markets," "Labor and Post-War Tendencies," "Pan-American Relations," etc., for the seven-day conclave. "Stabilization of Germany, France, Belgium, Austria, Italy, and the Balkans" will be covered in two of the afternoon conferences, another of which will be devoted to "Race Relations," and another to "The League of Nations, 1920-1927." The executive office of the institute until it opens in November is at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. President Coolidge evidently believes that the way to economy in government lies not only in cutting taxes down to normal but in cutting the seas Gus Strodthoff has recovered from an attack of typhoid fever, and will depart about the firstof December for Jerome, Arizona, to take his old place with Senator Clark's copper mining establishment. He resigned the position some time ago and accepted one with the Cananea copper syndicate in Sonora, Mexico. He was at his new position only a few days when attacked by symptoms of typhoid. He hurried home and spent a season in bed. Some days ago H. J. Allen, financial agent of Senator Clark, arrived in town. He hunted up his former associate and offered him his old position at an advanced salary. Gus accepted, and as soon as he is well enough to travel will depart for Arizona. W. J. Hole was in town from La Habra on Saturday afternoon, driving with Jake Stern of Fullerton. Mr. Hole said he had sold 69,000 acres of land in La Habra valley for the Stearns ranch this year. He also sold 1000 acres of his own land. He has secured a 120-foot right-of-way through the valley for the Huntington electric railway, which he said would build through the Placentia country. Samuel Witt, father of Mrs. Jacob Winter of Fullerton, has returned from Ohio and will probably make his future home in California. Mr. Witt was here some time ago, but went back to his old home in Ohio. He was not satisfied and returned to the glorious climate of California. S. O. Walker came in from Buena Park yesterday to find out if any more Democrats were elected. He said this was the greatest election he ever saw. The county gave Pardee over 800 majority, and lost five of the most important offices. That was going from the sublime to the ridiculous. Rain began falling on Sunday evening and continued at intervals during the night. At noon of Monday it fell heavily. Total precipitation as measured by Mr. Dickel's gauge, up to 7 o'clock Tuesday morning, 1.19 inches. Total for the season, 1.60 inches. A. Pierotti was in town from Placentia on Saturday afternoon, accompanied by his wife and young son. He says there is a deal of talk over his way about the construction of the electric railway and the Santa Fe from Fullerton to that point. Levi Mann dropped in Tuesday morning to see the boys of The Gazette set type and watch the press run. Years ago, when a lad in the Hoosier state, Levi had the reputation of being a butterfly at the folding board of a press room.
