IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic H of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1878 At the last meeting of the board of school trustees, it was agreed to prepare a petition to the state legislature for the passage of a bill allowing the Anaheim school district to issue bonds for a sum of money sufficient to complete the schoolhouse. To finish a building in accordance with the plans presented will require about $8000, which is more than can be raised by a tax levied upon the district. The plan of bonding the district seems to us to be the most feasible method of accomplishing the result. If the bonds are paid by a tax levied upon the district every two or three years, it will make the burden light upon our already over-taxed citizens, and allow those who shall come to us in after years the pleasure of paying for a portion of the benefits we have prepaid for them. A meeting will be held next Saturday, at which the petition will be presented and the subject discussed. We are in hopes that all those who feel an interest in the cause of education, and the progress and welfare of the town will be present, and by their council and advice encourage the trustees who have taken the matter in hand. There is always so much said about bills being prepared and sent to the legislature without the citizens being aware of the contents thereof, that the trustees are particularly anxious that all who desire should be present at the meeting to state their objections, if they have any, and to suggest any amendments which they may think will be beneficial. About 12:30 o'clock on Wednesday morning, a fire was discovered in the Alden Fruit Drying Works, owned by Messrs. About 12:30 o'clock on Wednesday morning, a fire was discovered in the Alden Fruit Drying Works, owned by Messrs. Heimann & Sorenson. Mr. Robb, who lives near the dryer, discovered the fire. Although the alarm was promptly given, and the citizens assembled in force, it was impossible to save the building, which, being a frame one, was burned to the ground in an incredibly short time. The destruction was total and complete. The books and papers were in the safe, and are probably intact, although at the present writing the safe has not been opened. Mr. Sorenson's carpenter tools were all burned—he has not even a hatchet left to split his kindling wood. Fortunately, there was very little dried fruit in the building, the total amount lost being about $300. Since shutting down for the season, men have been packing and shipping the fruit to San Francisco, or warehousing it. The building and its contents were insured for $6000, as follows: Home Mutual, $2000; St. Paul, $1000; New Orleans, $1000; Franklin of St. Louis, $666.66; Northern of New York, $666.67; Jefferson of St. Louis, $666.66. The building and contents were valued at between $10,000 and $11,000. Mr. Heimann, who was in San Francisco, arrived on Thursday night. The origin of the fire is a mystery. M. A. Mendelson, of the Merchant Tailoring Emporium, desires to inform ladies and gentlemen who intend to participate in the grand masquerade ball on Washington's birthday that he has made arrangements to receive an infinite variety of costumes. He will receive in a day or two a plate, from which costumes may be selected. The utmost secrecy will be observed, and under no circumstances will anyone's choice of costume be divulged. Parties in the country desiring costumes can send in their orders by mail, and he will guarantee to satisfy them. It will be understood that the word "costumes" includes masks. The charge will be in accordance with the costumes selected, and will in every case be reasonable. Orders must be handed in before February 10. During the absence of Mr. C. C. Angle, who has been working on the Brea Canyon road, some scoundrel burglarized his residence near town, stealing goods valued at $40. Mr. Angle says that if the wretch will call and remove the worn-out brogans which he left in place of a $12 pair of boots, he will receive the thanks of the owner and a couple of ounces of lead from a double-barreled shotgun. We are sincerely sorry to announce the early departure of Mr. J. Doblin, who for the past two years has been with Messrs. D. and D. G. Plato. He goes to San Francisco. Assembly bill No. 70, an act to legalize the incorporation of the town of Anaheim, has passed the Senate. It now needs only the governor's signature to become a law. A ton of rock from the mine in Santiago canyon owned by Thistlewaite & Harvey assayed $356.19 silver, $3.10 gold, and 23.5 per cent lead. The assay was made in Los Angeles.

Five-eighths of an inch of rain fell in Anaheim on Thursday night, making a total for the season of 6½ inches. In Los Angeles they claim 9.15 inches for the season. J de Barth Shorb, of San Gabriel, wants to go to the Constitutional convention as a delegate from this county. The telephone is being rapidly introduced into the various military establishments, not only in the capital and its neighborhood, but also elsewhere in Germany. At Dresden, one of these new instruments has been arranged between the commandant's office and the arsenal and barracks of the Rifles, about 800 yards distant. An already existing telegraph wire is utilized, from which wires are further led to telephones in four rooms in the barracks. The apparatus is reported to act perfectly, conversation being carried on without the slightest difficulty. In Austria, also, experiments are said to have been exceedingly satisfactory. At the same time it is generally admitted by military men abroad that much yet has to be done before the telephone can be considered available for practical use in the field. A very heavy swell continues at the Landing. It has lasted longer than ever before, it being 12 days since lighters could go out to the steamers. One can form some idea of the force of the swell when we say the 1200-pound anchor used by lumber vessels was carried down to Bolsa Chica, a distance of two miles, and left in the breakers. Channels from 20 to 50 feet wide have been washed through the sand hills all along the beach from the Landing to Bolsa Chica. The roar of the ocean can be heard here as though we were right on the beach—(From Westminster correspondent). The wagon road through Brea canyon will probably be completed in about two weeks. It is now impassable, except for the lightest of wagons. DAYS OF LONG AGO The 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, JANUARY 22, 1903 An all-night service is promised by the local telephone officials, if the patronage of the office can be brought to 100. An active canvass is being made to that end, with every prospect of success. People who have got along quite well without a telephone in their place of business or residence are not apt to appreciate the convenience or usefulness of the little instrument; but having tried it once, they will soon begin to wonder how they ever got along without it. The residence of Sam Kraemer, in Placentia, was wholly destroyed by fire on Tuesday evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock. The family had just finished supper and Mrs. Kraemer started to put one of the children to bed. Upon opening the bedroom door, she was met by a flash of flame, and with incredible rapidity the fire enveloped the whole house; so rapidly, indeed, that the only articles saved were a piano and a folding bed. As there was no stove or lamp in the bedroom where the fire originated, its origin is somewhat of a mystery. The fact that a number of tramps had been hanging around the place in the afternoon leads to the supposition that they may have fired the house. At a meeting held at the city hall last Monday evening, it was decided to reorganize the city band, which will be under the leadership of Prof. F. Hexing, who is a musician of marked ability and who will no doubt make the new band a success. Monday and Friday will be practice nights. Following are the officers and members: Joseph Hatfield, business manager and treasurer; Several cases of leprosy in Europe were traced to germs in a Persian rug. This is the reason we are going to hang on to the old rag carpet for another year or two. Our office boy says he don't see how bankers can keep a secret when every bank has a teller. We don't believe this boy is going to turn out right. The old-fashioned rounder who used to have to go to the drug store New Year's morning for a Sedeltz powder now has to consult an oculist.

Some forty visiting members from neighboring towns were present and participated in the banquet. The following are the officers for the ensuing term: Miss Olga Zeus, N. G.; Mrs. A. Nagle, V. G.; Mrs. Tipton, secretary; Mrs. Spake, financial secretary; Mrs. Chamberlain, treasurer. Henry Knapke of Oxnard was a visitor in town the latter part of last week. Mr. Knapke is an old Anaheim boy and is a nephew of Joseph and Ferdinand Backs. For the last three years he has been in the East as an employee of the Oxnard Construction Company, builders of beet and cane sugar mills. He left for Oxnard on Saturday. J. J. Schneider and G. J. Stock were in Los Angeles on Tuesday and bought the exclusive right to manufacture and sell the Scott patent folding ladder. They expect their first consignment from Los Angeles today. J. D. Howard of Lincoln, Nebr., arrived in the city last week and has associated himself with his uncle, J. S. Howard, in the photographic business. With two such efficient artists in town there will be no need of going elsewhere for good photographs. It will be gratifying to the orange growers of this section to learn that R. H. Gilman of Placentia has gone into the business of spraying citrus trees. A man of vast experience in citrus culture, he has intelligently and for many years studied the methods in vogue for getting rid of scale pests, and is now prepared to give growers the benefit of that experience. On Wednesday, Mrs. Callie Nickey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carver, departed this life, after a lingering illness, aged 24 years. Besides the parents, an infant son, three sisters and two brothers mourn their loss. The funeral will occur on Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, from the Del Campo. Friends of the family are invited. Added interest attaches to reports of bubonic plague in Mazatlan from the fact that Dr. Lloyd C. Bailey and family, former residents of this city, have been for some years past living in that place. Dr. Bailey telegraphed December 26 that he and the family were well, and that reports of the plague were exaggerated. Nothing further was heard from him until last week, when a letter came by way of Guaymas, bringing the car will be sold to the highest bidder; money received for which to apply against our bill.

Besides the parents, an infant son, three sisters and two brothers mourn their loss. The funeral will occur on Friday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, from the Del Campo. Friends of the family are invited. Added interest attaches to reports of bubonic plague in Mazatlan from the fact that Dr. Lloyd C. Bailey and family, former residents of this city, have been for some years past living in that place. Dr. Bailey telegraphed December 26 that he and the family were well, and that reports of the plague were exaggerated. Nothing further was heard from him until last week, when a letter came by way of Guaymas, bringing the intelligence that he had decided to leave, and on January 6 would set out on burros for the town of San Dimas, in the state of Durango. He would travel two hours out of Mazatlan and would go into quarantine for a period of ten days. After resuming his journey on the twenty-sixth, it would take him six days to reach his destination. He writes that the plague is exceedingly virulent and that people are fleeing the city; that many have died, and business is prostrated. During the high tides of last week the summer home of Charles Hargitt, at the Landing, was washed away, and that of Tim Carroll was raised from its foundation and moved several feet. Miss Poldie Heimann returned on Monday from Yuma, where she has spent some weeks with friends, the guest of the Misses Cargill. Miss May Cargill returned with her for a short visit. A theatre party composed of Misses Jessie and Winifred Melrose, Miss Zelma Bailey, Fred Backs, and Fritz Yungbluth went to Los Angeles Saturday to see Ward and James in "Francesca de Rimeni." County Treasurer W. G. Potter has purchased the residence property owned by the estate of the late P. H. Turner on Orange Avenue, and will take possession on the first of the month. The Ladies' Aid of the Presbyterian church will meet this afternoon, at 2 o'clock, at the home of Mrs. Grimshaw. Delos Morton has disposed of his ranch to H. Williams, a recent arrival from the East. W. C. Eymann, the real estate man, gotiated the sale. Ed Bennerscheidt was down from Los Angeles to spend Sunday in the old town: Ed is a first-class plumber.

"BETTER SERVICE" H. M. Adams A. C. Bowers E. L. 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 Coaches (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 $1015 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.
