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, JUNE 22, 1878 On Tuesday evening, the Workingmen's party held a grand rally at Kroeger's hall, Judge Evey occupying the chair. Mr. John Taylor was the first speaker. He read a carefully worded and very sensible essay on the evils which the party are seeking to redress. The universal esteem in which Uncle John is held, as well as the good sense and moderation of his views, secured for him a favorable hearing. W. H. Henderson was next called on, and made a speech characterized by that gentleman's usual force and brilliancy. His well known strong sympathy with the working classes and his evidently sincere wish to redress their wrongs were clearly marked in his able speech. This was his first attempt at political speech making and, should he turn his talents in that direction, bids fair to prove a success. The meeting broke up shortly after 10 o'clock. We desire to make suitable acknowledgement for the receipt from Mr. O. Des Granges of a sack of fine, large potatoes of the Early Base variety, and which the housewife pronounces to be of a superior quality to that usually found on the market. It is just possible that this superiority in the tuber may be accounted for by the fact that Mr. Des Granges does not artificially irrigate his farm. We are indebted to Mr. Darling, the agent at the depot, for the very interesting statement of exports and imports published in another column. The exhibit is an extremely favorable one, and we think that but few persons have realized that such an amount of business was done at this point.

The exhibit is an extremely favorable one, and we think that but few persons have realized that such an amount of business was done at this point. It should be remembered, also, that a vast amount of freight for this town and surrounding country is received by way of Anaheim Landing, and the shipments by that port are exceedingly heavy. Statement of exports and imports per Southern Pacific Railroad (Anaheim depot) from December 1, 1877, to June 1, 1878: Exports—Grain, 1,325,188 lbs.; wine, 1,156,526 lbs.; brandy, 56-855 lbs.; wool, 236,770 lbs.; vegetables, 129,085 lbs.; hides, 24,033 lbs.; livestock, 180,000 lbs.; brea, 226,829 lbs.; merchandise, 451,591 lbs.; dried fruits, 82,847 lbs.; trees, 50,309 lbs.; honey, 13,783 lbs. Total exports, 3,937,816. Imports—Merchandise, 1,466,206 lbs.; lumber, 807,927 feet. T. A. Darling, agent Southern Pacific Railroad, Anaheim, June 19, 1878. The board of town trustees met on Thursday and opened the following proposals for sprinkling the streets: Henry Schwartz, $3.50 per day; Freisneker & Company, $4.90 per day; J. Gossage, $8 per day; L. Dravsen, $1200 per year. The contract was awarded to Mr. Schwartz, and he will commence sprinkling as soon as the necessary papers can be made out. It is supposed that Mr. Gossage misunderstood the proposition of the trustees and made a bid on the basis of cologne water. Mr. and Mrs. Al Smith, photographers, have returned to Anaheim and are established on Los Angeles street, where with good facilities they hope to give satisfaction in all branches of their work. Copying and enlarging from old and faded pictures a specialty. R. W. Scott, "Notary Public," is the legend on a handsome signboard which adorns Kroeger's Hall building. We had the pleasure the other day of welcoming to Anaheim Mr. Grossman, who succeeds Mr. Johannsen as superintendent of the business of Messrs. Dreyfus & Company. Mr. Grossman we learn, brings to his new duties a great fund of experience, gleaned by many years of labor in the vineyards of the northern counties. We received on Monday a most magnificent carriage whip from the manufactory of Keystone Brothers, 2629 Mission street. San Francisco. This establishment has no superior on the coast in the manufacture of whips and lashes, and we cordially recommend them to all dealers in such articles. Mrs. Emily Pitt Stevens, superintendent of state temples, I. O. G. T., is holding temperance meetings throughout the county. She is billed for nearly every town except Anaheim. We feel the slight. The first carload of wine was shipped from Orange on Sunday last, by Mr. J. Young, who intends taking his wine to Detroit, Mich., where he hopes to find a remunerative market. The board of school trustees met at the office of Judge Mrs. Emily Pitt Stevens, superintendent of state temples, I. O. G. T., is holding temperance meetings throughout the county. She is billed for nearly every town except Anaheim. We feel the slight. The first carload of wine was shipped from Orange on Sunday last, by Mr. J. Young, who intends taking his wine to Detroit, Mich., where he hopes to find a remunerative market. The board of school trustees met at the office of Judge Athearn on Monday. They decided to reject all proposals to purchase bonds and to build the schoolhouse, and the clerk was authorized to readvertise for bids. An election for school trustees and assessor was ordered for Saturday, June 29th. The honey crop of Cucamonga canyon, Lytle creek and San Antonio canyon has been purchased by a Mr. P. Osterman, who will ship it direct to London, England. The purchase amounts to $20,000. Sheriff Mitchell and Deputy Adolph Celis shot and killed the notorious desperado, Miguel Sotelo, on Monday evening. The officers had a clue to his whereabouts, and on the evening stated rode out to Verdugo canyon. Sotelo was discovered on horseback, and in the chase that ensued Mitchell fired six shots with a revolver. Celis fourteen shots with a Henry rifle, and Sotelo ten shots from two revolvers. The chase extended over about two miles. Sotelo was struck by a rifle ball in the arm and a pistol ball in his back. One of his bullets passed through Deputy Celis' hat. The wounded man was brought to the county hospital, but expired yesterday morning. The charge pending against him was grand larceny, but he is known to have been a murderer and a horse thief and was one of Vasquez' gang. The coroner exonerated the officers from all blame. Mr. John Fischer is a candidate for the office of assessor and collector of Anaheim school district at the election on June 29th. Messrs. F. and J. Backs, furniture dealers, are painting and otherwise improving their fine business property on Los Angeles street. Mr. D. R. Payne is building a livery stable on Lemon street adjoining the Anaheim hotel. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1903 Mme. Modjeska, the celebrated Polish actress, has so far recovered from an attack of bronchitis, with which she has been recently troubled in New York, as to leave the Hotel Manhattan and depart for Chicago, en route to her ranch home in Southern California. Her husband, Count Bozenta, is with her. Mme. Modjeska has let it be known that she probably will make her home in the Golden State for several years. She feels more at home here on her ranch than anywhere else, and declares that it is one of the finest and best appointed ranches in the West. Modjeska's general health is far from good, and she will probably never undertake another long theatrical engagement, though she hopes to appear on the stage for about two months each season in the Pacific coast cities. Syril Tipton, the 11-year-old son of W. P. Tipton, met with a painful accident on Monday which may cause the loss of the first joint of his right thumb. He was engaged in operating a chopping machine used in preparing food for poultry, when his thumb was caught in the cog wheels and severely bruised and lacerated. It was almost severed from the hand. Mr. Tipton carried his boy to Dr. Johnston's office, where the injuries were attended to. The thumb was stitched back in its place and bandaged, but it will not be known for several days whether or not amputation will be ultimately necessary. Frank Dyer has retired from the barbering business and has taken a position as driver of one of the county sprinkling carts operated by his brother, Harry Dyer, road overseer. Frank America Greatest Producer of Paint Only 1 Per Cent of Her Product Consumed at Home An opportunity for America's horticulturists to make one of this nation's most important industries self-supporting has been disclosed by a review of the United States' foreign trade in paints and varnishes recently prepared by F. M. Brininstool, president of the Brininstool Paint Company, Los Angeles. Brininstool's survey reveals the astonishing fact that not only does the value of paint and varnish making ingredients imported into this country exceed by far the value of turpentine, paint and varnish finished products, but that in 1927 the purchase of these ingredients abroad required the cash outlay of $33,000,000 of American money for oils and resins alone. The report of the executive, whose company is Southern California representative for the famous Barreled Sunlight, stated that although the United States in recent years has increased the natural production of these materials, and is further manufacturing the synthetic commodities, by far the largest portion still comes from the Far East, notably China, which is the leading source of supply for China wood (tung), oil and Perilla oil, both vital to the manufacture of the best varnishes and paints. Value of drying oils rests solely in their ability to absorb oxygen from the air and produce an elastic film. The resins are used to impart body and hardness to the films. America, Brininstool said, is both the world's largest importer of these natural materials and the greatest producer of the finished products. Her output of paint and varnishes is 80 per cent of the world's total, all but 1 per cent of which is consumed inside the national boundaries. IT'S A QUEER WORLD The infinite variety of things that go to make up the broad flow of present-day trade is reflected in a list Frank Dyer has retired from the barbering business and has taken a position as driver of one of the county sprinkling carts operated by his brother, Harry Dyer, road overseer. Frank still retains his rolling laugh as when, calmly removing the lather out of his customer's eyes, he solemnly ejaculated: "Next." Don't fall off the water-cart, Frankie. Paul Turk returned some days ago from Terre Haute, Ind., where he has been attending polytechnic school for the past nine months. Fred Lewis is expected home today. Stuart Cargill, who attended the same school, has accepted a position with the Vandalia railroad during the summer. The boys will all resume their studies after the summer vacation. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Gardiner of Orangethorpe gave a reception to relatives and friends on Wednesday evening last, in honor of their son, Sandy Gardiner, who returned on that day from Missouri, where he is taking a course in mining in the Rolla school. All the members of the family were present, including Mrs. Shrode of Long Beach. Refreshments were served and an enjoyable evening was spent by all. Mrs. Zeus entertained the Ladies' Euchre Club at her home on Center street, on Thursday afternoon. A very pleasant time was spent by all present. After the refreshments were served, the prizes were awarded the lucky winners. Mrs. Hatzfeld won the first prize. Mrs. Lewis the second, and Mrs. Fred Rimpau the consolation. Dr. W. H. Crowley and wife, who have been visiting with Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Grim for three weeks past, departed yesterday for their home in Chicago. Dr. Crowley is a brother of Mrs. Grim. Mrs. Eichler of San Francisco, sister-in-law of Mrs. Konig of this city, is visiting that lady, accompanied by her two daughters, Misses Adela and Henrietta Eichler. They will remain several weeks. Fred H. Houck of this city has been granted letters testamentary, without bonds, by Superior Judge West, upon the estate of his mother, Mrs. Johanna Houck, who recently died at her home in Oregon. H. W. Chynoweth is attorney for the estate. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Everhardy entertained a number of friends on Sunday at a tally-ho ride to Santiago canyon, where a picnic was enjoyed. Horace Allen of Arlington was united in marriage yesterday morning to Miss Anna E. Bayha, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Bayha of this city. Rev. F. W. Johnson of the Methodist church of this city performed the ceremony. The newly wedded couple will reside at Arlington, where the groom is agent for the Santa Fe. Pierre Nicholas has sold to Jacob Stern of Fullerton 40 acres of land in the Rancho Los Coyotes. The consideration is $4000. IT'S A QUEER WORLD The infinite variety of things that go to make up the broad flow of present-day trade is reflected in a list of export records in value and volume established in 1927, compiled by the foreign commerce department of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in its analysis, "Our World Trade." The high record of automobile exports—384,000 cars valued at $278,083,000—may be taken as a matter of course, but other much less conspicuous items disclose the wide range of American initiative. During the year the United States exported 32,305,000 teeth valued at nearly a million and a half dollars; 474,000 cameras valued at $2,461,000; 2,720,000 electric flashlights valued at $2,474,000; 6,901,000 phonograph records valued at $3,106,000; 217,774,000 pounds of rags and other paper stock, other than wood pulp, valued at $3,394,000; 62,860 accounting and calculating machines valued at $11,475,000.
