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 9, 1878 Mr. Alex Henry is most unfortunate of men when it comes to losing horses. On last Thursday night his remaining horse was stolen, and although he has made diligent search, the animal can not be found. This makes the eighth horse which has been stolen from Mr. Henry since his residence here, and none of them have ever been recovered. If there is one thing the people of Orangethorpe pride themselves upon, it is their flourishing and firmly established Sabbath school. It is ably conducted and well attended. Mr. A. Guy Smith is the superintendent. The teachers are Mr. Saxton, Mrs. A. Guy Smith, Mrs. Bancroft, and Mrs. Cummins. The proprietor of the Planters hotel will prepare a supper on the evening of the twenty-second, at the special request of many who propose to attend the ball. Mr. Fischer advises us that he will serve a supper far surpassing any previous effort. At the solicitation of Major Ben C. Truman, H. K. Kusick, superintendent of the railroad mail service, has officially requested the postoffice department to place a postal car and route agent between Los Angeles and Santa Ana. Mr. Adolph Rimpau is now a partner in the firm of Goodman & Rimpau. Everyone will wish him a prosperous business career. Mr. S. L. King of Garden Grove was among our visitors yesterday. He was suffering one of the inconveniences attached to At the solicitation of Major Ben C. Truman, H. K Kusick, superintendent of the railroad mail service, has officially requested the postoffice department to place a postal car and route agent between Los Angeles and Santa Ana. Mr. Adolph Rimpau is now a partner in the firm of Goodman & Rimpau. Everyone will wish him a prosperous business career. Mr. S. L. King of Garden Grove was among our visitors yesterday. He was suffering one of the inconveniences attached to citizenship—acting as a juror. L. M. Weller has been appointed postmaster at Florence, and M. B. Boice is appointed to the same office at Santa Monica. Mr. Thomas Edwards of Westminster is selling his hay at $9 per ton. The managers of the masquerade ball report that already a large number of tickets have been sold, and that the prospect for a large attendance is all that can be desired. It may be as well state that only those who are "en masque" will have the privilege of participating in the dance previous to midnight! After that hour the floor is free to spectators as well as masquerade. Mrs. William Bowden of the Santa Ana News called upon yesterday. He has just recovered from a severe attack of hemorrhage. During his illness the little newspaper which he publishes was necessarily suspended, but its publication was resumed yesterday. Dana C. Pearson, corresponding editor of the Resources of California, was in town yesterday taking notes. He says that since his visit a year ago, Anaheim and vicinity have improved greatly; in fact, much more than he anticipated. The new steamship of the Oregon Steamship Company left New York for the Pacific coast the other day. The Oregon company has announced it to be their purpose to put on a steamer in opposition to the Southern Coast when their new boat shall have arrived. Mr. Walton's hydraulic artesian well borer arrived from San Francisco last night. He will commence operations at the orange orchard of Mr. S. A. Sheffield, southeast of town. We hope that with the introduction of this new machine the problem of a proper development of our irrigation facilities will be solved. The old Coyote ranch house, once the seat of open-handed hospitality and a noted place for convivial gatherings in the old days of Spanish prosperity, now wears a forlorn and desolate aspect. Through the windows one may see the vacancy, the nakedness of the drear, deserted house. It has been tenantless for some time, during which period it has been a most convenient stopping place for tramps. These itinerant gentry have wrenched off the doors and shutters, and disposed of them for fire wood, and the flooring has been torn up and used for the same purpose. The damaged roofing and the adobe walls alone remain. If this old house could talk—if its sun-dried mud walls, now crumbling to dust, could speak in tones of human utterance, how eagerly they would be listened to! What an interesting discourse upon the early history of this state they might deliver! What vivid pictures of social life in California before the American conquest... days of Spanish prosperity, now wears a forlorn and desolate aspect.

What an interesting discourse upon the early history of this state they might deliver! What vivid pictures of social life in California before the American conquest they might unveil! Many a deeply buried secret they could reveal, and many an interesting, but now forgotten incident of local history they could relate. But the old walls are silent now, and will ever remain so. Once they echoed to the sound of merriment, the light tread of the fandango and the twang of musical instruments. Many a scene of gaiety has this old house witnessed, and many are the guests that have been sheltered by its hospitable roof. From thirty to fifty vaqueros were employed upon the rancho alone, and it was general headquarters for all the vaqueros from the surrounding country. One part of the house was used as a store, while another part was reserved especially for fan-dangos. But this was many, many years ago, when thousands of fat cattle roamed these hills and the plain trembled beneath the hoofs of numerous herds of mustangs. But all this has passed away forever. No more are heard the plaintive notes of guitar and the low, sweet tones of serenade. No longer do the swarthy vaqueros ride about with jingling spurs and coiled riattas. And never again will gaily dressed caballeros and dark-eyed senoritas go through the graceful motions of the fandango. Senoritas, caballeros, vaqueros, all have long since disappeared, and left this old building to the ravages of time. The delinquent tax list has been published. It is a most formidable document, occupying 32 newspaper columns. Among those delinquent is James Irvine, proprietor of the Lomas de Santiago and other ranchos. The description of the property occupies four columns, and the tax amounts to $4,823.81. The delinquent list will be kept at the office of Judge Athearn for public inspection. One-fourth of an inch of rain fell on Monday night, making a total for the season of 7½ inches. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century By Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings in Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1903 The annual meeting of the Anaheim Union Water Company was held on Saturday. President Sherwood called the meeting to order at 10:30 o'clock. By consent of the stockholders, P. H. Krick was appointed secretary. The roll was called and it was found that 5733 shares of stock were represented, whereupon a quorum was declared present. The following committee was then appointed to examine the proxies on file: W. L. Hale, A. A. Mills, and C. C. Chapman. The meeting then adjourned to meet at the city hall at 2 o'clock. Max Nebelung was made secretary pro tem.

Mr. Bauer was compelled to sell on account of ill health. He desires us to thank his numerous patrons for their patronage during the past and request the same Brokers' Loans in The Stock Market There is considerable anxiety in financial circles about the enormous expansion of brokers' loans in the stock market. The last report of the managers of the Stock Exchange is that it has risen to the huge amount of $4,500,-000,000. During the year 1927, the increase has been somewhat over $1,000,-000,000, and the amount is still rising. It would seem as if the business of the Stock Exchange is being carried on with borrowed money, and one wonders how far this thing can go without causing the whole financial structure to topple. We know that securities have been steadily rising in value, so that the average yield of good stocks is only slightly over 4 per cent. So far as stocks have potential values which may be realized in the fairly future, such a low yield can readily be understood. But there are dozens of stocks listed on the market which are hardly making their dividends and show no evidence of increasing value behind them. Their rise is purely speculative. It is for securities like these last that the increasing amount of browers' loans is an anxious matter. We are living in a time of cheap money. There is so much of it that it is difficult to find a good market for it. This explains the readiness to take flyers in almost everything. But for every excess there is sure to be a day of reckoning. One thing which puzzles us is why they are planning to build so many new homes this year, when nobody stays at home any more. Bernard Shaw says that he would like to come to America but is afraid of Ellis island. He might go to Mexico and then slip across the border.

He desires us to thank his numerous patrons for their patronage during the past and request the same be continued to his successor. The dry-season croakers are now requested to go way back and sit down. Since last Wednesday 1.63 inches of rain has fallen, making the total for the season 7.09 as against 3.28 inches for the same date last year. On account of rain, the game of ball which was to have taken place between the Boys in Blue and a picked nine from the ranks of Company E was postponed until a later date. The proposed municipal ownership of an electric light plant, which has been agitating the people of Santa Ana for several months past, received a solar plexus blow at a meeting of the city trustees Tuesday night, when by a vote of 3 to 2 the board refused to take the necessary steps to allow the question to be voted upon by the taxpayers at a special election.

"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 $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 tomorrow.
