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, MARCH 16, 1878 It is like parting with an old friend to see the Mission grape vines uprooted to make place for other varieties which have proved superior; but the natural feeling of regret is tempered by the knowledge that the liquid product of the vineyards of Southern California will acquire still greater fame by reason of the superiority of the manufacture from these later planted and better grapes. It has come to be generally conceded that the wine made from the Mission grape, although undeniably good, cannot compete in the market with that made from the varieties of grape which of late years have been almost exclusively planted; and, recognizing this fact, it is a matter for congratulation to find that our vineyardists are determined to keep up the reputation of their wines by substituting the superior for the inferior grape. Among the man who are thus accepting the inevitable is Mr. Langenberger. He has just uprooted forty acres of Mission vines, and is planting in their stead, Zinfindel, Malvoise, and Orleans varieties. The first named is recognized par excellence as the grape for the manufacture of claret wine (if you don't believe this statement, ingratiate yourself into the good graces of Mr. F. A. Korn and get him to let you taste his claret). The Malvoise is a port wine grape, and the Orleans is a white wine grape. The Orleans, we learn, is something new in this section, its cultivation heretofore having been confined to the northern part of the state. On the same forty acres on which these vines Among the man who are thus accepting the inevitable is Mr. Langenberger.

The Orleans, we learn, is something new in this section, its cultivation heretofore having been confined to the northern part of the state. On the same forty acres on which these vines will be planted, orange trees to the number of 1500 will be set out at intervals. The work of planting these trees will begin next month. Seedling trees will be set out, and after they have taken root they will be budded to choice varieties. Samples of oranges raised in Anaheim will be sent to the fair to be held in Sacramento. Samples from the orchards of Bremmerman, Korn, and Langenberger have been sent which we think will compare favorably with any raised in the county. From the orchard of F. A. Korn one bunch was sent which consists of nine large oranges on a single stem. Hon. B. D. Wilson died at his residence at Lake Vineyard on Monday, in the sixty-seventh year of his age. Mr. Wilson came to Los Angeles in 1841. He represented this county in the state senate for eight years, commencing at the session of 1855-56. Mr. H. Werder lost a beehive from his place on Saturday. He thinks it might have followed some one off, and would request the finder to return it as soon as he has finished using it. There was a very comfortable dinner party at the residence of Dr. James Ellis on Sunday. The doctor understands such things, and there was pleasure for all present. The Los Angeles papers say that the orange crop this year is a small one. As far as we have seen, the reverse is true in this part of the county. The Gazette office desires to return thanks to Mr. H. S. Austin for cleaning away the weeds and fixing the sidewalk in front of the printing office. While we appreciate the kindness we had much rather have the path to our office worn smooth by the hurrying feet of delinquent subscribers, hastening to gladden the hearts and fill the pockets of impecunious editors, than to be obliged to impose upon the good nature of the gentleman. A meeting of citizens is called for Friday evening, March 22, at which it is proposed to organize a branch of the Workingmen's Party. Mr. Jonathan Watson advertises this morning that he has some fine pasture land which he desires to either rent or sell. He will also take sheep to pasture on shares. At a largely attended meeting of citizens held in Santa Ana a few days ago, a motion to indefinitely postpone the matter of incorporating the town was carried by a large majority. The citizens of Garden Grove have plowed and cleaned the grounds around the schoolhouse lot, and set out a number of shade and ornamental trees therein.

The citizens of Garden Grove have plowed and cleaned the grounds around the schoolhouse lot, and set out a number of shade and ornamental trees therein. The building adjoining Magnolia hall on Center street is being fitted up to be used as stores. Con Howe of Garden Grove went to San Francisco on Thursday. He will be gone about two weeks. Dr. James Ellis is making some valuable improvements on his Lemon street lot. A large vulture was captured at the sheep camp of Mr. Charles Smith, near Orangethorpe, a few days ago. It was evidently fatigued by a very long passage through the upper regions of the atmosphere, and when taken offered but little resistance. On account of its great size, 14 feet from tip to tip, and other characteristics, it is thought to be a condor. Mr. F. W. Athearn has received his commission as agent of the California Farmer's Mutual Fire Insurance Association, one of the most substantial insurance companies in the state. There was a select and pleasant party at the residence of Mrs. H. Bremermann on Monday, the occasion being the birthday anniversary of Miss Kate Bremermann. The following persons were granted teachers' certificates by the county board of examination, in session last week: Miss Annie Hoyt, Miss Ada Mayes, Miss Nannie Straus, W. G. McPherson, Joseph Smith, B. F. McDonald, J. N. Burgess, William Burton, and A. C. Shafer. A troop of Mexico acrobats arrived in town yesterday. The Union Club will give a ball at Kroeger's hall on the twenty-fifth instant. The Southern California Horticultural Society now has a membership of 360. YS OF LONG AGO 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, MARCH 12, 1903 The board of city trustees met in regular sessin on Tuesday evening, all members present. The marshal reported collections as follows: For water, $225.95; license, $482.25; light, $407.80; delinquent water, $23.50; delinquent license, $5; delinquent light, $17.45. The treasurer reported as follows: In general fund, $3876.03; in library fund, $213.14; in improvement fund No. 1, $952.50; in improvement fund No. 2, $168; in improvement fund No. 3, $495. Cash on hand, $5668.67. The recorder reported collecting a fine of $10 from Palo Rio for violating ordinance No. 94. The finance committee reported in favor of drawing warrants in payment of bills to the amount of $1010.17. Trustee Weisel reported for the committee on public improvements that the grading of East street would be finished in a couple of days; that Chartres street would be the next to be graded; that a force of men were at work removing stumps from South street, and that water connection had been made for Mr. Speer on Center street. Trustee Fletcher reported that the tank frame at power house, which was supposed to be on the point of collapse, was in good condition and would last twenty years longer and there is no need for repairs on it. He recommended that a new tank be purchased, and the clerk was instructed to write for prices thereon. He also reported that he had procured the stuff for State Co-operatives Are to Be Studied A field trip of a week, during which the principal co-operative marketing organizations in California are to be visited and studied, will be one of the features of the American Institute of Co-operation, which is to be held in California during the coming summer. Following this field trip, conferences and courses in co-operative marketing will be given at the University of California. The institute begins its work at Los Angeles on July 9, when it starts on the seven-day tour to visit outstanding co-operative organizations. It will be designed to give a background of field conditions and co-operative lay-out and plant facilities in a number of typical instances in order to give the later discussions a concrete basis of fact. Co-operative marketing of agricultural products in California is handling a greater percentage of all crops than in any other section of the United States, it is pointed out, and those in attendance from eastern states will be given an opportunity to see under just what conditions and how successfully the group plan of selling has been conducted in this state. The material secured in this week's trip will be used as a basis of fact for the later discussions in the trade conferences which are to be held on the Berkeley campus of the University of California. These trade conferences will be held daily for two weeks, beginning July 16 and ending July 26. They will begin at 10 o'clock each day and continue until about 4:30, with from four to six talks by outstanding leaders in the co-operative movement, by government or university authorities who have been associated with or who are studying the movement. Subtropical Work Moved to University Upon the occupation of the new campus of the University of California Trustee Weisel reported for the committee on public improvements that the grading of East street would be finished in a couple of days; that Chartres street would be the next to be graded; that a force of men were at work removing stumps from South street, and that water connection had been made for Mr. Speer on Center street. Trustee Fletcher reported that the tank frame at power house, which was supposed to be on the point of collapse, was in good condition and would last twenty years longer and there is no need for repairs on it. He recommended that a new tank be purchased, and the clerk was instructed to write for prices thereon. He also reported that he had procured the stuff for street signs from the mill, and that they would at once be taken to Painter Nemetz to be lettered. Trustees Weisel and Berdrow reported that 100 black acacia trees had been purchased from Mr. Carroll, and they would be planted along the street shortly. Trustee Rust reported that all the property owners on Lemon street between Davis and Center, but one, had agreed to give eight feet for a sidewalk. Orange County Directory Company asked the board to adopt an ordinance numbering the houses on the various streets. Mr. Rust moved that the attorney prepare an ordinance to cover the case. Seconded by Mr. Berdrow and adopted. Dr. Johnston and Mr. Miller from the Chamber of Commerce called the attention of the board to the bad condition of Center street and suggested that steps be taken to have it paved or otherwise improved. It seemed to be the opinion of the trustees that a good coat of gravel would be all that was necessary. The matter was left to the committee on public improvements. Mr. Stern, as a committee from the Chamber of Commerce, spoke of the necessity for a night watchman. Trustee Weisel moved that the attorney investigate the power of the board to appoint such an officer. Marshal Steadman suggested that the ordinances be printed in pamphlet form for the information of the public. The ordinance committee, clerk, and attorney were requested to go over the ordinances and suggest needed changes. An action was filed Friday in the superior court by Erwin Barr of Anaheim, through his attorneys, Will S. Tipton and O. T. Cailor, against J. E. Valjean, A. Valjean, and E. Valjean to recover on two promissory notes, one for $632 made February 6, 1899, and the other for $175, made May 15, 1899. The plaintiff asks for judgment against the defendants for the face value of the notes, together with costs of suit amounting in the aggregate to $807, exclusive of interest. The defendants are proprietors of the Anaheim Plaindealer. The engagement is announced of Miss Clara Hansen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Hansen of Orangethorpe avenue to Dr. Fred Rannels of Tepic, Mexico. The date of the wedding has not yet been fixed. The sister of the bride-to-be some weeks ago became the wife of Otto W. Strodthoff of Jerome, Arizona, and the wedding was the occasion of a notable gathering. The second wedding in the Hansen household will no doubt be quite a distinguished and fashionable affair. Cal Woods left on Tuesday for Indio, where he will act as assistant to the agent of the Southern Pacific. Cal is a bright boy and we doubt not will grow up to be a conspicuous employee of the octopus. Mrs. M. Meitz, one of the Pioneers of Anaheim, is, we regret to say, lying quite ill at the residence of Napoleon Hart. Mrs. Meitz is past 80 and has been in feeble health for some time. Subtropical Work Moved to University Upon the occupation of the new campus of the University of California at Los Angeles, the undergraduate instruction of the division of subtropical horticulture will be transferred there as summer session courses, and the summer session courses now being given at the citrus experiment station. Riverside, will be transferred to Los Angeles. This recommendation, made by President W. W. Campbell and endorsed by the committee on agriculture, has been approved by the regents of the University of California. It was announced at the university. Until the University of California at Los Angeles is ready to receive students at the new Westwood campus, the summer sessions will be conducted at Riverside, as in the past; and the other undergraduate work will be done in Berkeley. When the summer sessions work is transferred to Los Angeles, the research in subtropical horticulture and the graduate instruction in that division will be taken from Berkeley to Riverside, and no further undergraduate work in subtropical horticulture will be done either at Riverside or Berkeley. In announcing this action by the agents, President Campbell pointed out that the report of the agricultural committee, adopted by the board, is approved with the implicit understanding that such action does not obligate the regents to develop a second college of agriculture or a university farm; that it implies no necessity to institute such facilities; and that the policy of the regents not to establish another agricultural college or farm is reaffirmed.

The board of supervisors have appointed Fred Rafferty to fill the vacancy on the board of horticultural commissioners made vacant by the death of his father, I. N. Rafferty. Letters of administration have been issued by Judge West to Theodore Rimpau, in the estate of Francisca A. de Rimpau, recently deceased.

For those Poison, Colitis and Bowel Troubles of Childhood How fortunate my good mother has gone to her west but I have suddenly woken up her judgment and have given Bayer Pepin to my two children since they were born. It is certainly a real problem and never fails of its purpose. I like to recommend it. (Where will illness will be sent upon request) And in the Evening of Life When age comes creeping on with bowels relaxed, muscles weak, digestion poor and blood thinned, often is when constipation does its evil work in a night. By Childwell's Bayer Pepin is so potable, sets so well in the stomach, works so easily, so gently, so easy with oil takes us to accomplish its purpose in pain or other distress. For blemishes your health, fever, edema and constipation by Bayer Pepin is recommended everywhere and all throughout. All traffic road name and address to: Bayer Compound, Montreal, Canada.
