IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a C Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic Hi of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, MARCH 23, 1878 Unless we are mistaken, the bill providing for the issuance of bonds to build a schoolhouse in Anaheim is still with the senate committee to whom it was referred after introduction. If such is the case, we earnestly ask Senator Smith to call it up and have it acted upon at once; and we hope that our representatives in the assembly will secure favorable action upon the bill with all possible speed, after it has been transmitted from the senate. There is no opposition to the bill. Every one in the district is anxious to have it passed, and there is considerable anxiety manifested, lest action be delayed until it is too late. The beautifully printed pictorial bills and the handsome lithographs of Forepaughs's announce that his great consolidation will exhibit here on April 2. The progress of Forepaugh's great combination is one continued ovation. As its immense trains sweep over the country the entire populace assembles to see them pass. Its appearance in every town and city calls forth the entire resident community and the surrounding populace for miles. The grand entree of the great Forepaugh show into town on the morning of exhibition day will eclipse in grandeur, magnificence and novelty any show parade ever made on the continent. On Wednesday night the long threatened rain made its appearance, quite opportunely, too. Up to 6 o'clock on Thursday morning nine-sixteenth of an inch had fallen. This makes the total rainfall for the season 13 inches. On Wednesday night the long threatened rain made its appearance, quite opportunely, too. Up to 6 o'clock on Thursday morning nine-sixteenth of an inch had fallen. This makes the total rainfall for the season 13 inches. The advertisement of the banking house of P. Davis & Bro. will be found in our columns this morning. Messrs. Davis & Bro. are too well known to the community to need any recommendation at our hands. They propose to do a general banking business, receive deposits on account, sell exchange on San Francisco, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, and Frankfort, and will make collections and remit proceeds at current rates of exchange. Their banking business will be conducted under the able management of Mr. A. W. Steinhart as cashier. The Cajon Irrigation Company have levied an assessment of $30 per share, payable immediately. All assessments remaining unpaid on the sixth day of April will be declared delinquent. Subscriptions are being solicited for the purchase of a library for the Sunday school connected with the St. Michael's church, and also for the support of the Presbyterian church. On Wednesday last some miscreant made a raid on the smoke house of Mr. J. W. King of Garden Grove and stole therefrom nine hams and four sides of bacon. No clue has been discovered as to the identity of the thief. A delegation from Los Angeles consisting of Messrs. Tom Rowan, Mendel Meyer, W. S. Moore and W. R. Bettis arrived last night. We understand that they are commissioned by the city to pick out a suitable location for a temperance colony. A group of gypsies have camped on the north side of town. All the young girls are anxious to have their fortunes told, as several of them have been promised rich husbands, diamond rings, speedy marriage, and all that goes to makes happiness complete. Dr. Hardin's family had a narrow escape last night from a runaway caused by an animal being staked out in such a manner as to obstruct the road on which they were driving. If we mistake not, there is a town ordinance relating to the staking of animals across the road. The board of supervisors Monday prepared a communication to be forwarded to Senator Smith and Assemblymen Ellis and Holloway, embodying their views as to the Wilmington harbor bill now before the legislature. They also discussed the subject of a trespass law for this county. Mr. Jotham Bixby informs a Los Angeles contemporary that part of the colonists who are to settle the new colony on the Cerritos have already got to work and are plowing and seeding at a great rate. Master Charlie Bland was severely injured by a fall from a wagon on March 8. We were informed by his father yesterday that he is rapidly improving.

Master Charlie Bland was severely injured by a fall from a wagon on March 8. We were informed by his father yesterday that he is rapidly improving. Mr. Max Nebelung has in operation, at his place of business, a telephone. It is an immense success. We learn that Mr. A. Langenberger has resigned as one of the board of town trustees. Two saddles were stolen from Mr. Warling's harness shop on Saturday night. The thieves have not yet been caught. A huge whale made its appearance one day last week at Santa Monica and floated around for awhile between the wharf and the outer buoy. Several gentlemen were on the wharf at the time and had a good look at the monster. The Messrs. Newmark have purchased the Temple block, in Los Angeles, for $131,000. Ed Mateer, a former conductor on the Anaheim road, died at Yuma on Wednesday night. It is said that T. D. Mott will receive the appointment of deputy clerk of the supreme court for Los Angeles. It is estimated that there are still four hundred thousand sheep in this county, as the remnant of last year's drouth and disaster. A schooner carrying 260 tons of corn, sailed from Wilmington on Thursday for Guaymas. Ladies wishing a new spring hat to wear to the circus will find dozens of them, neatly trimmed and at prices ranged from $1.50 up at Mrs. Flora Brown's millinery store, next door to Goodman & Rimpau's. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1903 On Monday evening, .17 of an inch of rain fell, bringing the total for the season up to 10.45 inches. The conditions on Monday evening seemed to indicate a heavy rainfall, and it looked for a time that we should have an all night's rain. The weather was warm, with the wind in the south, and for a time rain fell heavily. At 9 o'clock, however, the wind shifted to the northwest and the weather became cold; rain ceased falling, and on Tuesday morning the ground was covered with a white frost, and ice formed in places. The season has so far been the most favorable in many years; rain promises well, and a large area has been seeded. The chamber of commerce has started a movement to establish an Arbor Day for Anaheim. It has been suggested that some of the fraternal orders would probably take the work up, and a committee consisting of Messrs. Boyd and Johnston was appointed to confer with the lodges of the city to see what can be done in the matter. C. C. Chapman of Placentia has been appointed by Governor Pardee a trustee of the state normal school at San Diego, and J. P. Grooley of Santa Ana a trustee of the state normal school at Los Angeles. Both are appointments eminently fit to be made and reflect credit upon the governor. J. L. Schumacher has purchased the Mrs. Charley Stone place, formerly known as the Padderatz property, consisting of improvements and three acres of land; price $1250. W. C. Eymann the The 1928 Outlook For Citrus Fruits The farm advisor's office has just received from the United States department of agriculture, which it represents in Orange county, a report on the present status of the citrus industry and the future outlook. The 1928 outlook indicates, as did those of 1926 and 1927, a marked increase in the bearing acreage of grapefruit and oranges, and a very large increase in their production in years when favorable growing weather prevails. The lemon acreage will doubtless remain about stationary during the next few years. In general, the outlook is unfavorable for additional plantings. The estimated bearing acreage in California oranges has increased steadily from 107,000 in 1914 to 185,500 in 1927, but is expected to remain stationary during the next three years. Both Florida and Texas have large acreages in non-bearing trees. In the former more than one-fourth of the total trees are still non-productive, while in the latter very little of the acreage has attained commercial bearing age. Any further increase in California orange production will probably be in the Valencia rather than in the navel orange. A development of interest, particularly to Valencia orange growers, is the increase during recent years in exports to the United Kingdom. The shipments to that market in 1927 were 588,000 boxes, compared with 234,000 boxes in 1926 and 31,000 boxes in 1925. The bulk of these exports to England moved during the summer months; when the competition of oranges from other sources was not as keen as during the winter. Grapefruit trees of bearing age have about doubled in number in Florida since 1919; in Texas, with an acreage variously estimated between one-third and one-half of the Florida plantings, only a third of the trees are estimated to be of bearing age and very few have reached full production. An outstanding development in the grapefruit situation is the marked increase in shipments to the United Kingdom. In 1927, about 400,000 boxes were shipped, as compared with 150,000 in 1926, 140,000 in 1925, and 50,000 in 1924. This increase would indicate that the English committee consisting of Messrs. Boyd and Johnston was appointed to confer with the lodges of the city to see what can be done in the matter. C. C. Chapman of Placentia has been appointed by Governor Pardee a trustee of the state normal school at San Diego, and J. P. Greeley of Santa Ana a trustee of the state normal school at Los Angeles. Both are appointments eminently fit to be made and reflect credit upon the governor. J. L. Schumacher has purchased the Mrs. Charley Stone place, formerly known as the Paderatz property, consisting of improvements and three acres of land; price, $1250. W. C. Eymann, the real estate man, made the deal. Mrs. Ida Crist entertained the Ladies' Euchre Club at her home on Philadelphia street Thursday afternoon last. Mrs. Zeus won the first prize, Mrs. Smith of Los Angeles the second, and Mrs. Konig the consolation. When the game was finished, the hostess served refreshments, and later the ladies departed for their homes, having been very pleasantly entertained by their hospitable hostess. Mr. Melrose and his daughter, Miss Winifred, attended the concert given by the Canadian-Scotch band in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening. Mr. Melrose comes from Glasgow, which, we believe, is somewhere in the neighborhood of Scotland, and he considers the music of the bagpipe as superior to the usual conception of that instrument of torture. He informs us the concert was the best he has heard since leaving his native heath. A convention of the Sunday schools of the county will be held in the Methodist church in this city, Friday, March 20. Some interesting addresses will be delivered and a cordial invitation is extended to all to be present. Coffee will be served by the ladies of the church to those from a distance who bring their lunch. Following is the program: Devotional exercises, Rev. Mr. Johnson; "The Gospel Feast," F. S. Bank; "How to Get Business Men in the Sunday School," H. R. Backus; duet by Miss Daisy Edwards and Miss Minnie Yoe, of Westminster; "The Duty of Parents to the Sunday School," J. P. Shaffer; "How to Interest the Boys," Mrs. C. M. Crist; "Primary Work," Rev. N. A. Calvin; song; benediction; lunch. Afternoon—Opening services, Rev. E. H. Sweck; roll call and reports from schools; "How to Retain the Intermediates." Miss Addie H. Pendleton; "The Superintendent and His Work," W. W. Patten; selection by ladies' double quartette of Santa Ana; "The Sunday School Teacher," J. C. Galloway; "Normal Work," by W. C. Weld, superintendent of state normal work; business session; song; benediction. Anaheim is to have an opportunity of witnessing the marvelous things done by liquid air, an engagement having been made for a splendid lecture and expert demonstrator to appear here on Friday evening, April 3, bringing a supply of genuine liquified air and complete apparatus with which to perform the dozens of startling experiments that have recently attracted world-wide attention. The high school has arranged this entertainment at great expense. If you have not already subscribed, leave your names at the public library or drop a card to the high school. The Jersey-Breeders' Association of Southern California convened in this city on Saturday at the hotel. The attendance was quite large, there being about forty members in attendance. The following were elected officers for the ensuing year: Guy H. Miller of Riverside, president; E. E. Moore of Compton, vice-president; C. W. Leffingtwell of Whittier, secretary; George Thomas treasurer; G. E. Platt Los Angeles; W.J.Cole Anaheim; Grapefruit trees of bearing age have about doubled in number in Florida since 1919; in Texas, with an acerage variously estimated between one-third and one-half of the Florida plantings, only a third of the trees are estimated to be of bearing age and very few have yet reached full production. An outstanding development in the grapefruit situation is the marked increase in shipments to the United Kingdom. In 1927, bourn 400,000 boxes were shipped, as compared with 500,000 in 1926, 140,000 in 1925, and 50,000 in 1924. This increase would indicate that the English consumer is rapidly developing a taste for grapefruit. This demand will doubtless grow, especially if small fruit of good quality is provided. The indications for the years just ahead are that whenever a good crop of either oranges or grapefruit is produced, it will be marketed at prices considerably below those which have prevailed in 1927. Lemon production in the United States has been so great for several years that the growers have not been able to market the total supply as fresh fruit at satisfactory prices. Imports of lemons have been rapidly decreasing during the last few years. In Sicily, the leading competitor of California, there has been a marked downward trend in production since before the World war, although some new plantings have been made recently because of increased returns to growers due very largely to the importance of the lemon by-products. If the price level for fresh lemons and by-products remains the same as has prevailed during recent years, a gradual growth in Italian lemon production may be expected. Goodwin Found Guilty of Murder Philip A. Goodwin was found guilty of first degree murder of J.J.Patterson by a jury in department No.2 of the Orange county superior court yesterday. The verdict brought in at 4:30 p.m., after more than twenty ballots, recommended life imprisonment, and Judge E.J.J.Marks will pronounce sentence at 3 p.m.Friday. The jury, composed of nine men and three women, went into its deliberations at 11:20 a.m.Shortly after the lunch period the jurors came in and inquired of the judge if he could refuse to carry out a recommendation for life imprisonment. Judge Marks refused to answer the question and again read his instructions. The first ballot stood eleven to one for conviction of first degree murder. The twelfth juror fell in line on subsequent ballots, and the jurors then voted upon the penalty.At one time it was said, four jurors favored hanging. It was expected that attorneys for Godwin would take another appeal to the state supreme court, which already has granted one new trial, that which was concluded yesterday. It was announced that a motion for a new trial will be made Friday, but attorneys for the former actor are known to enter- The Jersey Breeders' Association of Southern California convened in this city on Saturday at the hotel. The attendance was quite large, there being about forty members in attendance. The following were elected officers for the ensuing year: Guy H. Miller of Riverside, president; E. E. Moore of Compton, vice-president; C. W. Leffingwell of Whittier, secretary; George Thomas, treasurer; G. E. Platt, Los Angeles; W. J. Cole, Anaheim; J. C. Keefe, Orange, and C. S. Burgess of Arlington were elected directors. Buena Park, the home of Lilly milk, was chosen as the place for the next meeting of the association, in March of next year. Mr. Grim is moving into his new cottage on the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets. It is one of the handsomest homes in the city. Herman Stern informs us he and his brothers, Jake and Gus, contemplate making a trip to Europe in July, the occasion being the golden wedding anniversary of their parents. Mrs. Metz, who has been ill at the residence of N. Hart for several weeks, is improved and is able to be out. Mr. Helmsen, mother of Joseph Helmsen, had a sinking spell on Tuesday, and physicians were hastily summoned. She rallied later in the day and is now improving slightly. Walter Bayha, who has been ill for some time with typhoid fever, has been removed from the hospital to his home. John Hanna shipped 19 carloads of oranges from the Nutwood this season. Miss Jessie Melrose is a guest of Mrs. A. M. Jones at her home in Los Angeles. H. W. Chynoweth is now located in comfortable quarters in the Backs block. Don Marcus Forster of San Juan Capistrano was a visitor in town during the week. Next summer may be too late! THIS IS the slack season for contractors. They will do work more reasonably than at any other time of the year. And freezing weather makes no difference with Upson Board.
