IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a C Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic H of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1878 On Sunday next, the Rev. Mr. Hill of Los Angeles, and the Rev. Mr. Trew of St. Michael's church, exchange pulpits. On Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, there was an 11 a.m. service in the Episcopal church. During Lent there will be services every Wednesday and Friday at 4 p.m. At the close of each Wednesday service there will be an address on one of the seven sayings of the Lord while on the cross. On Fridays the candidates for confirmation will meet at the close of service. We have unwittingly been the cause of much annoyance to Mr. Korn. Since our last article on orange culture, in which w described the size and thriftiness of his budded trees, he ha been overrun with visits from curious strangers, who ply hir with questions innumerable, persistent, and occasionally nonsensical. The substantial benefits resulting from a town government are beginning to be made apparent in the improved condition of our thoroughfares. And it is a big feather in Tim Boege's cap that the expense of repairing and grading has been so much less than was estimated. At no time during the past six months have the Chinese vegetable peddlers been without strawberries, and the highest price reached was 25 cents per pound. That's the kind of semitropical country we are.

That's the kind of semitropical country we are. The public is respectfully invited to attend the meetings of the Anaheim Literary Association, which, since the improvement in the weather, are held regularly every Thursday evening at Judge Bailey's office. The declarations at the next meeting will be given by Mr. Beebe and Mr. Payne. The subject of the debate will be: "Resolved, That Lord Bacon was the author of the so-called works of Shakespeare." The affirmative will be argued by Mr. Guinn, Mr. Henderson and Mr. McFadden; the negative by Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Cahill and Mr. Athearn. The subject of this debate has formed a profoundly interesting discussion in the literary world for some years past, and the speakers will doubtless bring out some interesting facts concerning the authorship of these most famous of all dramas. A meeting was held on Wednesday evening at the office of Wicks & Stephenson, and a social formed, to be known as the Magnolia Social Club. The following are the charter members: Adolph Rimpau, H. Cahon, Fred Hartung, W. D. Stephenson, Fred W. Athearn, G. D. Plato, C. E. Leonard, Fred Langenberger, M. A. Mendelson, N. Willard, Fred Rimpau, and W. D. Stephenson. An election for officers was held and M. A. Mendelson was elected president; F. W. Athearn, vice-president; G. D. Plato, secretary, and A. Rimpau, treasurer. A committee was appointed to draft by-laws and to have the necessary alterations and repairs made in the hall over A. G. Beebe's store, which has been leased by the club from P. Davis & Brother for a term of years. It is reported that the down train which left San Francisco last Thursday had an almost miraculous escape from being plunged headlong into the slide between tunnels Nos. 14 and 15. It was checked up at hardly a locomotive length from the slide. The building of the Anaheim Water Company on Center street is being altered and repaired. It is rumored that Mr. Bennerscheidt has leased the same for a saloon. As soon as suitable lumber is received, two culverts will be built on the corner of Lemon and Center streets and two on the corner of Los Angeles and Center. The delayed freight has commenced to arrive, and Anaheim merchants are now busy unpacking new goods. Regular communication has once more been established between Anaheim and San Francisco. This will continue until another interruption. Goodman & Rimpau have been making heavy additions to their already fine assortment of goods. Cahen & Willard are among the number who are in receipt of additions to their stock. D. and G. D. Plato have received, among other delicacies, a consignment of codfish. Quite appropriate for the Lenten season. Regular communication has once more been established between Anaheim and San Francisco. This will continue until another interruption.

The bill, introduced by Ellis, giving Los Angeles two sessions of the supreme court annually, has passed both houses, and needs only the governor's signature to become a law. A number of tramps have drifted into town from some portion of the county. They will be liable to find this an unhealthy place for gentlemen of their calling. On Thursday; while Mr. John Hanna was in the vicinity of Spadra, in search of some horses which had strayed from his pasture, the horse he was riding stumbled and fell, throwing Mr. Hanna to the ground and breaking his leg. The primary schoolhouse was broken into on Thursday night. The desk was forced open, but it contained nothing of value. The clock and some other articles were stolen. J. M. Gibson has been granted letters of administration in the estate of Sylvanus Randall, deceased. A horse and saddle, the property of Clemente Morillo, was stolen from the Coyote rancho on Thursday night. The total amount of moneys in the state treasury to the credit of the school fund is $1,313,215.06. The apportionment is on the basis of $6.26 per capita for all children of school age. Los Angeles county gets $67,548.32. R. Bohn was, on Tuesday, appointed by the county supervisors to be constable of Anaheim. Marshal Wartenberg will today sell town property upon which the taxes are delinquent. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1903 At an early hour yesterday morning, a gentle rain began falling, which at intervals throughout the day turned into a perfect downpour. At 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon the precipitation was 1.42 inches as registered by the government gauge at H. A. Dickel's store. Since that hour considerable rain has fallen, and the prospects as we go to press are that the storm will be a record-breaker. The Young Americans, Anaheim's crack kid baseball team, went to Pasadena on Sunday to try conclusions with the Shamrocks of that city. The contest was a hard fought one, and ended in favor of the Shamrocks by a score of 5 to 2. This is the second game the locals have played with the Shamrocks, both of which they lost to their more husky opponents. On Saturday, at Fullerton, the Santa Ana high school nine played horse with nine young men who represented the Fullerton high school. The score was 9 to 5, and is the second victory of the season which the county seat boys have wrested from the Fullertonites. Last week F. W. Fleischman let the contract for the building of a cold storage plant to be installed at his slaughter house to R. Redit. There will be two cold storage rooms one of which will have a capacity of fifteen beef hogs and mutton; the other to use exclusively for packing purposes, as Mr. Fleischman has decided to care his own bams and bacon for his elk market. Some years ago Mr. Fleischman did all the curing of meats for his markets, and is an expert at the business, as his numerous customers of that time can testify. Basketball Title Is Still in Doubt Unless Leo Calland's University of Southern California Trojans win two of the remaining three basketball games in the Pacific Coast conference race, there is a possibility that the final result of one of the closest seasons in the hoop history of the league will end in a three way tie. In such an event the Southern California Trojans would probably be picked to represent the southern section of the conference against the University of Washington, which defeated Oregon State college for the northern title last week. All teams will play a total of nine games, and if the Trojans should lose their three remaining games, two to U.C.L.A., and one to Stanford, and if the University of California should win its three games from Stanford, the Berkeley Bear would win their fifth title in a row. In view of recent games between Stanford and California, such a possibility is far from remote, as Stanford has not won a basketball game from Coach "Nils" Price's men in the last four years. However since Southern California now faces defeat U.C.L.A., one of the largest crowds that ever occurred in a Pacific Coast basketball game this week, it doesn't appear likely that the Trojans will be headed in their first title. Trailing all during the first half, and until the final three minutes of the contest, the Trojans looped 14 points through the basket to win by ten points, 45 to 35. The teams meet again at the Olympic auditorium Thursday and Saturday of this week. Standings in the Pacific Coast conference, southern section: W. L. Pet.

HANNALEI HILLS A Beautiful Subdivision Under Vista Water. A few lots from 3 to 5 acres Last week F. W. Fleischman let the contract for the building of a cold storage plant to be installed at his slaughter house to R. Redit. There will be two cold storage rooms one of which will have a capacity of fifteen beef hogs and mutton the other to be used exclusively for packing purposes, as Mr. Fleischman has decided to care his own hams and bacon for his market. Some years ago Mr. Fleischman did all the curing of meats for his markets, and is an expert at the business, as his numerous customers of that time can testify. Attorney Tipton has disposed of his 81-acre ranch to Charles Eells of Los Angeles for a consideration of $500. Mr. Tipton found that his increasing business required his entire time, and he has therefore disposed of his ranch property and will remove to town. Asher & Falkenstein are now comfortably installed in the new Mitchell block, where they have one of the hardest and best appointed department stores in the county. Their formal opening will take place later. August Baum left the first of the week for San Francisco, where he goes to meet his brothers, Otto and Joseph Baum. From there the trio will sail for Alaska to seek their fortunes in the goldfields. Success go with them. W. J. Wickersheim was over from Fullerton the first of the week, and had a warrant issued for the arrest of John Meza, who had absconded with a wheel which he had replaced from him. When last seen, Meza was headed south. W. J. Cole, proprietor of the Hardserable Stock Farm and a noted breeder of purebred jerseys, was in town on Thursday. Mr. Cole also dabbles in the poultry and dog business, judging from his business card. On Sunday the new athletic grounds which are located near the Santa Fe depot, will be opened by a game of ball between Company E and the Young Americans. Buy your tickets for the grandstand will be in order. By a recent series of literary editions, the treasury of the public library of Orange became richer by the sum of 67.62, which will be used to buy new books. That’s a pointer for Anaheim. A new school district, to be known as Randolph, has been created. It is composed of portions of the La Habra, Fullerton, and Placentia school districts. Miss Belle Lyons has accepted the position in the central telephone office made vacant by the resignation of Miss Poldie Heimann. W. A. Spake has recently obtained a patent for improvements on a fly escape attachment for window screens. Mr. and Mrs. Barre and Miss Mable Barre of Colegrove are guests of Mrs. Konig for a few days.

Wright, city of Santa Ana; Ed Vegeley will assist Mr. Wright and will also act as office deputy; H. A. Young, Garden Grove; B. B.

A committee on road improvement, consisting of Dr. Johnston and L. E. Miller, who will look into the practicability of paving Center street with asphalt in the business part of the city. It was the opinion of the Chamber that the expense entailed by such improvement could easily be met by popular subscription and assessment on abutting property. If successful in this, the committee will next turn its attention to Los Angeles street with a like object in view. The meetings hereafter will be held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. An earnest invitation is extended our progressive citizens to be present at these meetings, but croakers need not apply. Mother!
