IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Records of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1878 We have very often written in favor of patronizing home merchants and home industries, and against the suicidal practice of sending away from home for articles, as is the custom of many otherwise sensible people. We take the position that if one owns property in a place and intends to be a lifelong resident, it is working against his own interests to refuse his patronage to his home merchants, even if his charges are a few cents higher than those of some larger and distant place. In this connection there is a matter to which we direct the attention of our town trustees. We have a town government which is supported by taxes paid by the citizens and by licenses collected from people engaged in various kinds of business. The merchants pay into the town treasury a tax upon the groceries, dry goods, etc., which they have in their stores. Therefore, it is manifestly the duty of the town government to make a return to these merchants and citizens—to give them some equivalent for the money paid for taxes, licenses, etc. The trustees propose to improve and grade the streets and in other ways make the town attractive. This is well. As the place is made more attractive, people will be drawn towards it and business will naturally increase, and thus the merchants—the heavy taxpayers—will be reimbursed for their outlay. But what we especially desire to impress upon the trustees is that they are bound to protect their customers, the merchants. They should not permit cheap John auction men to set up shop within the town limits and peddle their worthless wares in opposition to our taxpaying, town-sustaining merchants without compelling these nomads to pay a good sound sum for the privilege. We think they should pass an ordinance... to these merchants and citizens—to give them some equivalent for the money paid for taxes, licenses, etc. The trustees propose to improve and grade the streets and in other ways make the town attractive.

We think they should pass an ordinance to this effect. It will be but justice. It would make but little difference how heavy the license is made. In fact the heavier the better. The cheap John men would pay it, and the town treasury would be the gainer. Mr. J. W. Clark and party, who have been prospecting in the Santiago hills for the past week, have returned. They have located several silver ledges, which they believe to be extremely rich. Mr. Pullen took some of the rock to Los Angeles, and it assayed by fire test $40 to the ten. Messrs. Thistlewaite, Dunlap & Company are preparing to ship 10 tons of ore to San Francisco. There is no road to their mine, and they are now making a trail so that pack animals can reach it. Medura canyon, where the mines are situated, is 10 miles above the coal mines and 25 miles from Anaheim. There are now from fifteen to twenty men at work prospecting and, as there seems to be no reasonable doubt that further developments will give increased confidence in the district and attract quite a population, Mr. Clark has taken time by the forelock and surveyed off a town site. For that purpose he has purchased the bee ranch of Mr. Alvord. The embryo town is called Silverado. The following interesting letter is from W. M. McFadden, secretary of the Cajon Irrigation Company: "Editor, Gazette:—According to promise, I am sending you herewith a short account of progress and expenses of the Cajon ditch to date. About 160 shares out of the 200 are subscribed. Ten per cent has been levied, due on February 12. "Expenses, including 150,000 feet of lumber, $12,421.90; $2500 of which has been expended upon the old ditch, two miles of which had to be widened two feet and deepened two feet, most of which was in rock. The contract for hauling the lumber has been let to J. B. Pierce, to be delivered by April 15. The flume contract has been let to Doane & MacKey, carpenters of Los Angeles, for $7.25 per thousand, to be finished May 20. It is the intention of the company to have the main ditch finished by May 1. Forty men are kept constantly employed. In two weeks about twenty teams will be employed to excavate with scrapers. Water will be turned in and follow down the ditch as fast as completed. "The company expects to make two and perhaps three branch ditches, one along the base of the Coyote hills, as far west as the Brea canyon road, the other north of the sand wash north of Anaheim, as far west as Col. W. S. Davis' farm, and another to cross the sand wash to the neighborhood of L. Parker's place. It is also proposed to increase the capital stock $5000 by adding 50 shares to the present capital stock. "The proposition made to the Anaheim company, if they would unite with the Cajon company, is: "That if the Anaheim Water Company desires to have any interest in the ditch of the Cajon Irrigation Company, that they be invited to take such an amount in the ditch as they please, but if they take 50 shares..."

No action has yet been taken by the Anaheim company toward uniting the two companies. A jackass rabbit found its way into Kroeger's hall on Thursday. After breaking a few panes of glass, he found his way to Center street, where he was chased by a pack of dogs. He escaped out of town unharmed. At the meeting of the town trustees, held yesterday, Tim Boege was authorized to continue the grading of Center street commenced on Tuesday. The delinquent tax list was ordered advertised according to law, and the marshal was ordered to report on the number of dog licenses issued last year, with a view to collecting the same for this year. Arrangements are being made for the opening of a dancing school. Mr. D. R. M. Thompson, who is so popular as a dancing mater, will make visits here once a week. The list of those desiring lessons can be found at Beebe's. We have to record another fine shower of rain as occurring on Tuesday and Wednesday. One-fourth of an inch fell. Total for the season, 6⅓ inches. The recent storms have deepened the Wilmington channel, and now there is a depth of 10½ feet at extremely low tide. A meeting in regard to the petition to bond the Anaheim school district for the purpose of building a new schoolhouse will be held today. A little son of E. A. Mead of Orangethorpe is seriously ill." 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1903 At the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gus Hansen of Orangethorpe avenue, yesterday afternoon, at o'clock, Otto W. Strodthoff of Jerome, Arizona, was united in wedlock to Miss Selma Hansen. The ceremony was performed by Reverend Snyder of the First Presbyterian church of Los Angeles. Miss Clara Hansen, sister of the bride, was maid of honor, and Gus Strodthoff, brother of the groom, was best man. Only the immediate relatives of the high contracting parties were present. On the completion of the ceremony the happy couple were recipients of congratulations from all. A sumptuous wedding breakfast was served, to which all did ample justice. The bride and groom departed on the evening train for the north, where they will spend their honeymoon. The groom is an employee of Senator Clark's copper mine at Jerome, Arizona, where he has been for upwards of a dozen years. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hansen and is an amiable and accomplished young lady whose admirers are numbered by the score. On their return from the north they will proceed to Jerome, where they will take up their residence. Mrs. Strodthoff, mother of the groom, entertained at dinner on Sunday evening in honor of the bride and groom. We join their many friends in extending the felicitations of the season. Miss Grace Kirkham and Daniel Henry Mauerhan were married last evening at the Broadway Christian church in Los Angeles. The bride is the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Kirkham recently of Des Moines, Iowa. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Kirkham assisted by Rev. B. F. Coulter. The bride was GOOD TRADE Two Scotts were coming out of a vaudeville show. "Well, that was a grand juggler," Jock remarked. "What!" exclaimed the other. "He was the worst I ever saw." "Weel, maybe he wasna verra clever, but I gave him a bad ten shillin' note for a trick and he gave me back a guild one."

The bride is a niece of ex-Governor General F. M. Draker of Iowa. It was while on a visit to San Francisco that she met Mr. Mauerhan. The game of baseball Sunday on the Lemon street grounds, between the Boys in Blue and the Shamrocks of Pasadena was won by the latter by a score of 10 to 8. A slow drizzling rain which fell at intervals made the grounds slippery and the ball soggy, making it impossible for either team to play a snappy game. Decided features of the game were the batting of Westerman and the base running of C. and F. Fischer. The Boys in Blue will play a game with a nine recruited from the ranks of Company E next Sunday. Mrs. H. Cahen and family will leave on Saturday for Los Angeles. They have disposed of their place here and will make Los Angeles their future home.

"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 cite, over a similar period, an achievement so outstanding. A smart, swift, low-priced and immensely popular quality Four has replaced its famous predecessor. The Sealor 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. 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.

My good mother has gone to her rest, but I have childfully raised upon her judgment and have given Syrup Pepsia to my two children since they were born. It is certainly a noble medicine and never fails of its purpose. I like to recommend it."

Do Cullard's Syrup Pepsin is so palatable, sets so well in the stomach, works so easily, so gently, so briefly with old kills as to accomplish its purpose without gags, pain or other distress.
