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, FEBRUARY 16, 1878 We are glad to inform our readers that the Anaheim Literary Society has not yet become a thing of the past. Certainly not. It is true that for a number of weeks no meetings were held and the "fledgling" at Fairview seemed to plume its little feathers and crow over the older society. But let not him that putteth on his harness boast as he who has worn it through the heat of the day. The Anaheim society has held its own for nearly two years, and after seeing many reverses, is still a vigorous institution. Last Thursday they had some excellent declaiming and a spirited debate—such a debate as could only have been conducted by well trained speakers, well posted on their subject. And such men Anaheim can boast of. We understand the next meeting is to be held at Judge Bailey's office tomorrow evening, at 7:30 o'clock. The appointments are: For declamation, Messrs. Payne and Austin; for debate: "Resolved, that the crusades were beneficial to Europe." Affirmative, Messrs. Henderson, Cahill, and Leonard; negative, Messrs. Montgomery, McFadden, and Lynill. Mr. John Given, of Fairview, is carrying on his farming operations this year on a princely scale. He has nearly eleven hundred acres under cultivation. He is evidently a believer in diversified farming, as he has sown barley, oat, rye, wheat, and corn. He has about one hundred and twenty acres in wheat—not all in one piece, but in two or three different localities near Anaheim. The object is to discover the kind of soil best suited to its successful growth. He is also experimenting to discover whether the Odessa or Sonora wheat is best for this section. This year will probably be extremely favorable for the successful investigation of this wheat question, and the result of Mr. Givin's Mrs. Theresa respected reel had been reelected at 5 o'clock months.

Mr. Saxton's new house on West street is beginning to assume graceful shape, and looks as if two weeks' labor would about make it ready for occupancy. The design is a very pretty one, and we think we recognize in it the handiwork of Mr. Saxton himself, who is an architect and draughtsman of considerable taste and skill. Mr. P. C. McKimnie is the contractor, which means that the house will be built in a workmanlike and substantial manner. While visiting Mr. Korn the other day, we saw a quantity of wine-stone, the substance which, after being refined and pulverized, is found in drug stores under the name of cream of tartar. This wine-stone becomes incrusted on casks which contain new wine. In Germany there are numerous dealers who go from vineyard to vineyard and purchase the wine-stone, themselves scraping it off the casks with knives specially designed for that purpose. In this country, however, the market is so limited that wine growers have paid no attention toward collecting it. Lately, however, there have been offers made for its purchase, and it is probable that in the "sweet bye and bye" vineyardists will find in the wine-stone an additional source of revenue. The weather, the crops, and the masquerade ball are the three topics of talk on the streets nowadays. We think that we can with safety predict that not only will the attendance at the ball be large, but that the costumes will be original, unique, showy, effective, dashing, stylish, handsome, funny and amusing. Mr. Thompson will hold a preliminary meeting of the dancing school at Kroeger's hall on Saturday evening. All who are desirous of becoming members of the dancing school should endeavor to attend. The Rev. W. H. Hill of Los Angeles will occupy the pulpit of Mr. Trew at St. Michael's church on Sunday next. One of the nicest fences in Anaheim is that on Mr. Schindler's lot. Colonel Dunkelberger, postmaster at Los Angeles, arrived in Anaheim last night. A buggy containing two ladies was wrecked on Center street on Sunday. The occupants escaped with a few scratches. Mrs. William R. Olden returned on Sunday night from a visit to San Francisco. One-eighth of an inch of rain fell on Monday night.

A petition for the passage of an act authorizing the issuance of bonds not to exceed $10,000 by the Anaheim school district, for the purpose of building a new schoolhouse is now prepared for signatures and will be forwarded to Sacramento in a few days. L'Union of Los Angeles says that the Lafayette hotel, in that city, has been sold conditionally for $70,000, but one signature being required before making the sale public. Two hundred and eighty-five valentines passed through the Anaheim postoffice on St. Valentine's Day. Bad roads and delayed mails are the reasons for the conspicuous absence of our correspondents' letters. A lot of four-pound cannon balls were yesterday exhumed in some excavations in the rear of the St. Charles hotel, in Los Angeles. This spot was once used as an arsenal, and the mementoes carry us back to the time of the American conquest. Rev. E. B. Kellogg died at his home in this city on February 7, aged 83 years. Rev. Kellogg was born in Hampton, N. Y., five years before the present century began. During his ministry of about 60 years, he occupied a prominent position in the Episcopal church in many parts of the United States. He came to Anaheim in 1873, hoping to find relief from a bronchial affection. To his exertions, even in failing health, the permanent establishment of the Episcopal church in this place is due, and its prosperity occupied his mind till the last. He leaves the record of an honorable life and a high example to a large family of children and grandchildren residing in different parts of the United States and Europe. The rain on Tuesday amounted to seven-eighths of an inch; total for the season, 9½ inches. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1903 Mrs. Theo Rimpau, one of the best known and most highly respected residents of Anaheim, died in Los Angeles, whither she had been removed some weeks ago for the benefit of her health, at 5 o'clock on Saturday morning. She was aged 70 years and 8 months. The deceased was the daughter of Don Francisco Avila, one of the leading residents of Southern California before the American occupation. She was born in Los Angeles, and she and Mr. Rimpau were married there on December 25, 1850. Mrs. Rimpau was the mother of 16 children, nine of whom survive her, they being Misses Sophie and Marie at home, Adolph and Fred of this city, Albert, Ben and Frank Rimpau of Los Angeles, Jim Rimpau of Redlands, and John Rimpau of Yuma. The funeral services were from the Catholic church. The funeral sermon was preached by Bishop Verdaguer, an old friend of the family. Father Dubble was celebrant of the mass. Rev. Joseph P. Kaiser was master of ceremonies. Bishop Verdaguer was assisted by Rev. D. W. J. Murphy. The pallbearers were M. A. Forster, Frank Shanley, William Koenig, Herman Dickel, Tim Carroll, and J. P. Zeyn. Mrs. Rimpau had lived in Anaheim since 1864. She was loved by all who knew her, and her death is cause for sorrowing in many a household. The report of the Deciduous Fruit Association of Anaheim, made by President J. B. Neff for the season of 1902, makes decidedly the best showing yet reported by any walnut association, and shows what may be done by marketing on the exchange plan. The walnuts were all sold by agents of the Southern California Fruit Exchange, at prices ranging from 10 cents to 12 cents f. o. b. California for No. 1 soft shells, and as appears from the report, PROPHETIC BUNK Morons of the class which in serious interest also in the annual prophesiesness consults fortune-tellers are always of a number of alleged seers, such as Beele Bart, Mme. Fraya and those freaks who at intervals predict the end of the world. Every year a publication checks up to find out the batting averages of these prophets, and generally finds them to be zero. For example, Belle Bart predicted that during 1927 Edison would die suddenly, that Mussolinil would lose his power, that the Volstead act would be modified, that Ford would have to combine with another manufacturer, and that the prince of Wales would get married. Other predictions made by various prophets which failed of fulfillment last year included the destruction of New York and Atlanta, trouble with Canada, and the return of long skirts. Mme. Fraya was the only secret to score even a fraction of a point. She prophesied that more marriages would be dissolved in 1927 than in any previous year, and so there were. But any of us could have foretold that. SUMMONS IN THE JUSTICE COURT OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, COUNTY OF ORANGE, STATE OF CALIFORNIA. REDFIELD ADVERTISING COMPANY. Plaintiff, V.R. A. B.

B. Neff for the season of 1902, makes decidedly the best showing yet reported by any walnut association, and shows what may be done by marketing on the exchange plan. The walnuts were all sold by agents of the Southern California Fruit Exchange, at prices ranging from 10 cents to 12 cents f. o. b. California for No. 1 soft shells, and as appears from the report, the growers received the benefit in prices which have never been paid to growers before by any association. The Anaheim association takes the walnuts as they come from the orchards, and does the bleaching and grading, etc., at a cost of 18 cents per 100 pounds. The Anaheim association has shipped for the past five years through the California Fruit and Produce Exchange, and the walnuts have been sold by agents of the Southern California Fruit Exchange. This has proved exceedingly satisfactory to the growers. The shipments have increased from 70 tons to 210 tons, and now include almost all of the walnuts grown in the vicinity of Anaheim. At a regular meeting of the water board on Saturday, the following directors were present: Bradford, Hall, Crowther, Sherwood, Sheppard, Smith, and Zeyn. William Crowther was elected president, J. W.

By delivering a quality of power unknown to their price class, they are no longer THORIGHT of in their price class, but challenge constant comparison with the product names in motordom. Records of Senior brilliance are daily pouring in from all parts of America, and invariably the trend of owner enthusiasm runs the same— “No car at any price can surpass Senior performance” . . . “I have owned several cars that cost more, but have never so thoroughly enjoyed driving” . . . “I should like to broadcast my impression of your new Senlor. It is splendid!” Once take the Senlor wheel and you will understand why business men, unsolicited, are writing letters of this character to Dodge Brothers. $1595 Sedan F.O.B.
