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 30, 1878 Philadelphia, March 14.—The superintendent of the mint in this city received instructions from the secretary of the Treasury that he may pass over the counter of the mint limited sums of the newly coined silver dollars in exchange for their face value in gold—these sums to range from $10 to $100. For this purpose there will be deposited with the superintendent today $23,000 of the new coin. The object of this is to allow all who may desire to secure specimens of the new silver dollar. The first of the new coin was struck off yesterday, and the amount coined thus far is $130,000. Washington, March 16.—The new silver dollars—10,000, of them—arrived here yesterday, and many people eagerly sought them. They will soon be coined at the rate of 3,000,000 per month and will cease to be curiosities. Simultaneously with the issue of this coin, gold dropped below 101 in New York for the first time in 17 years, and some of the leading business houses—that of A. T. Stewart & Company among them—commenced to pay out gold and silver in change to their customers. A difference of less than 1 per cent between two kinds of money is not in itself important, but the obliteration of that difference would do more than legislation or theory to remove what is supposed to be at the bottom of all our hard times—"lack of confidence." Every citizen would feel more independent if the greenback—the national promise to pay—was worth one hundred cents on the dollar. At the conclusion of Judge Thompson's address on Friday evening, the Workingmen's Club of Anaheim was formed and the following officers were elected: President, Edward Evey; vice-president. Alfred Metcalf; secretary, Henry Kroeger; treasurer, Ferdinand Backs. Messrs. Metcalf, Fischer, and Kroeger were appointed a committee to prepare a constitution and by-laws with instructions to report at a meeting to be held on Friday next. About one o'clock on Monday, Mr. Paty was overtaken at the mouth of Brea canyon by a violent hailstorm. So large was the hail, and with such force did it come down, that the team he was driving became almost unmanageable under the furious pelting. The storm was purely local, as it was not felt a couple of miles distant. Constable Wartenburg yesterday arrested two Mexicans, supposed to be the same who stole Mr. Dyer's cows some months ago. He will take them to Los Angeles today. The same officer arrested a couple of drunks, who were sentenced by Judge Bailey to 60 days' imprisonment. We learn that quite a number of horses have died from "clog," caused by green feed. Mr. R. H. Gilman lost two valuable horses last week, and yesterday one of Mr. Seibert's died from the same cause. The twenty-sixth anniversary of the introduction of Odo Fellowship into the United States will be celebrated by the Anaheim lodges on April 26. The proceedings will probably consist of a procession and a picnic at some point contiguous to town. Past Grand John Fischer has been elected to represent Orpheus lodge, I. O. O. F., at the session of the Grand Lodge, which convenes in San Francisco on May 7. Mr. Byron Clark has for sale a large variety of ever-blooming roses. Those desiring fine plants should purchase at home instead of sending to foreign nurseries. Mr. Langenberger has 4000 orange trees which he will sell at a very low price. A letter from Hon. Asa Ellis was received by Mr. Theodore Rimpau on Wednesday. He promised to forward a certified copy of the bill providing for the building of a schoolhouse, in a few days. A telegram from Washington says that Jacob Swigart has been appointed postmaster at Norwalk. The genuine Smyrna fig of commerce has been introduced at Pasadena, where it is almost perpetually in fruit. Last year it fruited from June to January, and this year has already started fruiting and will probably ripen from May Day to Christmas. A letter from Hon.

At her last White House reception, Mrs. Hayes (wife of President Hayes) was dressed in a dead-white costume. The skirt was of heavy silk, kilt-pleated. The low cut waist and long train were of striped velvet. Elbow sleeves and long white kid gloves were worn. She wore a bunch of natural flowers tucked away in the coils of her dark hair. F. M. Cahill is off by the morning train today, en route for the Paris Exposition. The new school lot is being planted with poplar, Italian cypress and other trees, under the superintendence of Trustee Kroeger. It was the intention on Sunday last to turn the water into the canyon ditch for the first time, and notice of such intention had been given to many persons, so as to afford them the opportunity of witnessing the event. The unexpected illness of the foreman, Mr. Barricklow, prevented the programme from being carried out. The ditch is completed to a point near the Sailly place, and work is progressing smoothly. Captain Moye Wicks of Santa Ana was in San Diego a day or two ago, on his way to San Rafael, Lower California. He will return to his home in about ten days. Mr. Gildmacher of Santa Ana has adopted a plan drawn by a Los Angeles architect for his projected new brick building. It will be 60x80 feet in size. There is some talk of making a road from Santa Ana to Rocky Point on the east side of Newport bay. Rocky Point is considered one of the best places for bathing on the coast, and pleasure-seekers can have their boat rides without danger from wind or surf, and at low tide can gather clams and small rock oysters. It will be a pleasant camping place when the road is finished. 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, MARCH 26, 1903 The heaviest rainfall that has fallen in years descended on Tuesday, when an inch fell up to noon. The rain began at 4 a.m., and at 10 o'clock.61 of an inch had fallen. Thirty-nine hundredths of an inch fell in the succeeding two hours. Rain fell heavily on Tuesday evening, beginning at 9 o'clock. It fell in torrents at intervals throughout the night. Yesterday morning Mr. Dickel's gauge measured 1.03 inches for the night. Total for the storm, 2.03 inches; for the season, 12.50; last year to date, 10.05. Mr. Darling's gauge records 2.10 inches for the storm and 14.91 for the season. The season is the most favorable in years. Grain and feed have made a growth not excelled in ten years. William and George B. Key have purchased the old Wilshire ranch of 40 acres in Placentia for $25,000. The ranch was recently sold to Mr. Hunton for $25,000. He sold $900 worth of oranges off the place and raised the price $500, thereby making quite a neat sum off his investment. The ranch is set to oranges and walnuts, and has a comfortable residence, barns, etc. It joins the Key ranch. William Key is the father of George Key, and for some years past has spent the winters in Southern California. His home is in Canada. The Young Americas of Anaheim crossed bats with the Shamrocks of Pasadena Sunday afternoon, the locals winning by a score of 17 to 7. It looked bad for Anaheim in the first few Spring Quarter of University College Offering 25 teacher-training courses which grant college credit in conformity with the California State Board of Education requirements which must be met before September, the 1928 spring quarter of University College, the downtown branch of the University of Southern California, at 122 East Seventh street, Los Angeles, will open on March 26th, continuing until June 16. The spring schedule also includes 12 history courses, 18 courses in English language and literature, 8 home economics courses, 9 courses in psychology, 12 courses in foreign languages, and a number of art, music, science, physical education, engineering, and a new evening course in supervision of high school publications. Adult students from 120 cities in Southern California attended the winter quarter of University College, just completed. Special features of the middle-city Trelaan school are its convenient location to transportation (Seventh and Los Angeles streets) and the fact that each group meets once a week for 12 weeks in convenient hours (evening, late afternoon, and Saturday morning). The quarter system (Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer) is used instead of the semester system. Each class grants full university credit. The worst pest we know of is the fellow who tries to argue with you on a crowded elevator after he has been eating spring onions. William and George B.

The Young Americas of Anaheim crossed bats with the Shamrocks of Pasadena Sunday afternoon, the locals winning by a score of 17 to 7. It looked bad for Anaheim in the first few innings, but then they just knocked the ball over the field when they pleased. The features of the game were C. Fischer's base running and Westerman's batting and Stone in the pitcher's box for Anaheim. The Los Angeles Times had an untruthful account of the Pasadena boys. It was not the Pasadena ballplayers that broke Back's windows, but the ones that came with them. The ball-players are all gentlemen, as the people who witnessed the game could observe. The board of city trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present: Schneider, Weisel, and Berdrow. Weisel, of the committee on public improvements, reported that the grading of East street had been finished; that Center street had been graded from Los Angeles to the cannery; that Palm street from Cypress to South streets had been graded; that Citron street is now being graded, and that the stumps on South street would be extracted in a few days. The trees will be planted along the streets in a couple of weeks. Mr. Carroll having advised the delay. A water connection has been made with the Episcopal church. City attorney reported that the trustees had power to appoint a police officer. Action on the appointment was postponed until next meeting. Letter was received from P. A. Stanton referring to a communication from the city regarding the purchase of a gravel pit at Olive on the property of I. W. Hellman. Mr. Stanton stated that the owner did not desire to sell at present. Marshal Steadman reported that a bridge on Lemon street was only 12 feet long and is placed at one side of the street, and that a bridge on Citron street is only 12 feet long, and that both bridges should be removed and the street piped. Also that there was an open litch across Broad street near East. The clerk was instructed to notify the water company to put in pipes on Lemon and Citron streets, and the marshal was ordered to abate ditch across Broad street. Weisel stated that the Chamber of Commerce had called his attention to the fact that several of the lodges of the city desired to plant trees along the streets if the city would take care of them. Berdrow moved that permission be given to plant the trees under the supervision of the board, the city to take care of the trees after planting. Carried, adjourned.
