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, JANUARY 19, 1878 Although Anaheim is 12 miles inland from the ocean, the roaring of the surf was distinctly heard on several days this week. That a great commotion existed on the old ocean is evidenced by the damage done the various wharves on the coast. Even the Santa Monica wharf, which has withstood the storm of previous winters without sustaining the slightest injury, has several piles carried away on Tuesday. The damage was slight. Mr. D. W. Field, a former resident of this vicinity, paid a flying visit to Anaheim on Thursday, accompanied by Mr. H. M. Newhall of San Francisco. Mr. Field, since he left here some three years ago, has been superintendent of Mr. Newhall's immense stock ranch in Monterey county, an occupation which agrees with him, judging from his robust appearance, which is in marked contrast to his physique while a resident here. The six horse team belonging to Mr. H. L. Paty was wrecked on Center street on Thursday by coming in contact with one of the poplar trees on that thoroughfare. The Anaheim Water Company held a meeting on Wednesday. The committee reported that Mr. Shanklin had rejected the agreement proposed to be entered into with the Cajon Irrigation Company. It was then resolved to employ an engineer to make an estimate of the cost of a ditch. For this purpose a committee will be appointed at a meeting to be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

At the entertainment given for the benefit of the Episcopal church on Thursday evening, the receipts were $58. The historical tableaux given by the Orange Literary Society were excellent and much enjoyed by the audience. A hot oyster supper was provided, and the company lingered around the tables until a late hour. There was quite a romantic marriage at Newport last Sunday. It was as follows: Robert Wardlow and Miss Martha A. Draper, wishing to take the holy vows of matrimony, in company with a minister and several others, proceeded to Newport. There they made arrangements with an old sailor, Manuel, to take the party in a sailboat out across the bar. When they were about three miles out at sea they were united in the bonds of wedlock. In a short time they returned to shore and proceeded to their carriage, where a bountiful supply of wedding cake, etc., was partaken of, after which the wedding party took their departure for home. Senator Pierson of San Francisco, who is making up statistics as the ground work for some new law relative to matrimonial contracts, has written to County Clerk Potts to ascertain the number of marriages and divorces registered in this county since 1862. A search of the archives discloses the fact that the number of licenses issued in that time (15 years) is 2720, and the number of divorces granted 122. The auction store was the center of attraction last week. Nearly every woman in town invested in pins, hair combs, and shop-worn laces. They jostled and squeezed and crowded in their frantic efforts to purchase seal brown ribbon that turned out to be plum-colored, stockings that would fit an elephant, bogus jewelry, and remnants of faded velvet. Every cent which could be scraped together was poured into the coffers of the auction man, who has departed for fields and pastures new, while the penitent purchasers gaze upon their piles of cheap rubbish and their empty purses and sadly resolve to give the next auction store a wide berth. One of the curious phenomena of the season is that while the water in the well in town is very low, in the vicinity of Fairview it is very high. The state authorities have awarded the sum of $1065 to the Los Angeles guards for equipment and necessary expenses. An organ and a sewing machine are offered for sale at a great bargain by Mr. Darling. Those desiring to purchase stock in the Black Star coal mine will find the books of the company with Mr. Seibert, at the Bank of Anaheim.

The social given by the Westminster Presbyterians at the hall in that place, on Tuesday evening, was much enjoyed by all who attended. The evening was showery and everyone thought the attendance would be small. But the hall was comfortably filled and the result of the evening was $17.50 profit for the ladies' fund. There was no stiffness or formality. An impromptu programme was presented and everything went off smoothly. The refreshments were, as usual, very nice, and the decorations tasty. The following officers of Santa Ana lodge No. 236, I. O. O. F., were installed last Saturday night: Walter K. Robinson, N. G. P. W. Straw, V. G.; Arthur Johnson, secretary; J. H. Moesser, treasurer; G. W. Ford, P. S.; Nap Donovan, C; John Swanson, W.; W. W. Wakefield, I. G.; Will S. Ritchey, O. G.; M. A. Peters, R. S. N. G.; Alex E. Mills, L. S. N. G.; J. Brady, R. S. V. G.; John H. Wood, L. S. V. G.; Robert Cummings, R. S. S.; Eugene SSaulter, L. S. S. We direct attention to the advertisement of John Fischer. He offers for sale the property on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, on which is situated the hotel, bank building and livery stable—"A Chance for Business Men—The undersigned offers for sale at a great sacrifice the Planters Hotel property. The lot is 180x140 feet, and is the best business property in town. The hotel was built in 1872 and has accommodations for 60 guests. There is also adjoining and forming part of this hotel, a two-story brick building built in 1876. The upper story is used for bedrooms, offices, etc., and the lower story is occupied by the Bank of Anaheim at a good rental. About 45 feet from the hotel (also on the lot) is a fine livery stable. Either of these houses and the ground on which it stands will be sold separately. For further particulars inquire of John Fischer." [This is the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, now occupied by Heying's drug store.] 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1903 For some time past Ed Athearn, proprietor of the Fullerton ostrich farm, has been missing chickens from his ranch. The other day he set a trap for the prowler of the night, and the next morning found a large white cat securely caught by the front feet in the steel jaws of the trap. The cat was soon dispatched and, on account of its unusual size, was taken to John Hiltscher of Fullerton to be mounted. Sportsmen who have seen the animal are of the opinion it is the largest cat ever killed in the county. Sunday, on the Lemon street grounds, the Boys in Blue again demonstrated the fact that they were "it" at the national game, their opponents on this occasion being nine husky lads from Orange. Judging from the torrid color of the suits worn by the visitors, it was expected they would put up a hot game, but again appearances proved deceitful, as the score will show—23 for the Boys in Blue and 5 for the Orange aggregation. Herman Stern as captain, Ed Zeus as first lieutenant, and L. Kroeger as second lieutenant of Company L, N. G. C., went to Los Angeles the first of the week to take examinations as to their qualifications for their separate offices. They passed a rigid examination with flying colors.

An elaborate banquet was spread and a very enjoyable evening was spent by all the members present. On Tuesday evening, George A. Riley, P. G., of Santa Ana, installed officers of the local lodge, No. 199, I. O. O. F., as follows: E. A. Zeus, P. G.; O. Hill, N. G.; F. Yungbluth, V. G.; William Champlin, conductor; William Hill, warden; H. A. McWilliams, R. S. N. G.; Charles Boege, O. S. G.; R. Dunn, R. S. V. G.; William Young, L. S. V. G. After the installation ceremonies had taken place, those in attendance partook of a sumptuous spread which was served in the lodge rooms. Mrs. Shanley entertained the Ladies' Euchre Club at her home on Lemon street on Thursday. A pleasant afternoon was spent in playing the usual game of euchre, after which delicious refreshments were served by the hostess. The first prize was won by Mrs. Grim, the second by Mrs. Shanley, and the consolation by Mrs. Fred Rimpau. On Thursday evening of last week Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Hatzfeld entertained a few of their friends at the fascinating game of bowing on the local alleys. The party included Mr. and Mrs. Hatzfeld, Miss Melanie Cahen, Miss Robinson, Ed Zeus, and Hugh Smith. Previous to the games, refreshments were served at the residence of the host and hostess, on Center street. About twenty-five of our local nimrods participated in the grand annual rabbit drive on Sunday, in which Godfrey Stock was high gun, with 11 rabbits to his credit. One hundred and fifty cottontails and their great uncles, the jackrabbit, bit the dust as a result of their bombardment. As the noon hour approached, the weary nimrods, in squads of three, four, and ten, wended their way to the rendezvous in the vicinity of Richfield, where a sumptuous spread had been prepared by A. Fuhrberg, ably assisted by William Fielder, in which the substantials and the liquors formed a well-balanced part. J. C. Joplin of Santa Ana has purchased the Carlyle ranch, located near Westminster. Mr. Joplin will go extensively into the raising of alfalfa. Levi Mann returned on Sunday evening from a week's trip to Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Colton, and Riverside.

Bowers A Brief History of a Great Achievement Two years ago Dodge Brothers embarked upon a program designed to place it and its Dealer Organization in a position on January 1, 1928, second to none in the industry. The astonishing results of this great achievement are now known to the world. It is doubtful if industrial annals can elate over a similar period, an achievement so outstanding. A smart, swift, low-priced and immensely popular quality Four has replaced its famous predecessor. The Senior Six, outstanding in performance, quality and luxurious appointment, has been created. Graham Brothers Trucks and Motor Conches (formerly exclusively Fours) have been supplemented by sixes. Fifty new types have been added. The capacities are broadened to range from one-half ton to two-ton, all resulting in the most complete and capable line of work cars known, and with prices ranging from $670 to $4290. Then Thursday came The Victory—a Six for $1045 and up—the most spectacular engineering achievement of the decade. These accomplishments, one following the other in steady progression, have now provided Dodge Brothers Dealers throughout the world with the most diversified and comprehensive line of passenger and commercial vehicles ever manufactured and sold by a single organization. For every need and purse there is now a Dodge Brothers vehicle built dependably and in full recognition of the progressive ideals of today and Graham Brothers Trucks and Motor Coaches (formerly exclusively Fours) have been supplemented by sixes.
