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 28, 1878 The usual meeting of the Anaheim Literary Society was held in Magnolia hall on Thursday evening. The following named persons were elected members of the society: E. M. Ferguson, H. R. Hanna, J. Delbert Fish, Fred McKinnie, G. B. Shaffer, and O. Des Granges, Jr. Next in order was the election of officers: William M. Henderson was elected president; Rev. M. Mitchell, secretary, and Victor Montgomery, sergeant-at-arms. The treasurer reported a balance of $20.35 in the treasury. The literary exercises were then declared in order. Mr. Henderson gave a verbal criticism on the exercises of the previous meeting. Mr. Grimshaw gave a select reading, "Lochiel's Warning." The question, "Resolved, That the character of Oliver Cromwell is worthy of our admiration" was argued in the affirmative by Messrs. Guinn, Henderson, and Mitchell; in the negative by Messrs. McFadden, Beebe, and Montgomery. The discussion was ably conducted, and was listened to with marked attention by an unusually large audience. Messrs. P. C. McKinnie, A. Holdridge, and Herman Zeyn, the committee appointed to decide on the merits of the debate, gave their decision in favor of the affirmative. The programme committee reported the following order of exercises the next meeting. Mr. Grimshaw, critic on the exercises of the evening. For declamation: H. R. Hanna and E. M. Ferguson. Question for debate, "Resolved. That a shoemaker is a greater benefactor to the world than the printer." Affirmative, Montgomery, Payne, and Des Granges. Negative, Athearn, Mitchell, The engagement and Mrs. Ferguson Mr. and Mrs. young business is a petite bl figure, and a groom-to-be is wedding will be some residence east of Mr. M. Joseph Hailroad, under of tobacco bill for instruction Joe comes from fusion that he hoppers, and yesterday when get away from Mrs. Lau for some years in Saturday's Angeles busi The clangor of the fire bell, about 5 o'clock on Monday afternoon, warned our citizens that, after a long immunity, the fire fiend was again at his destructive work. The stable in the rear of the building on the corner of Davis and Lemon streets was found to be in flames. By the time the firemen and others reached the spot, the structure was a mass of flame, and every energy was turned to saving the adjoining buildings—a task which was rendered all the more difficult by the scarcity of water. The only well on the premises was within a few feet of the burning building, and a few vigorous strokes exhausted the water. Water had then to be carried in tubs and buckets from a distance, and it was only the number of willing workers present that prevented the flames from spreading and consuming some valuable adjoining houses. The dwelling nearest the fire was occupied by Mr. Warling, and the dwelling adjoining is owned by Mr. Durr and occupied by Mr. Richards. The furniture in these dwellings was carried out with marvelous celerity, only to be carried in again when the fire subsided. The furniture must have suffered somewhat from the rough handling incidental to the excitement. The burned stable was owned by Mr. Dreyfus. He estimates his loss at $100. Insured. The hay in the stable (about a ton) was owned by Mr. Warling. A number of children were playing about the stable shortly before the fire was discovered, and it is thought that they may have been playing with matches and thus caused the fire. It is confidently expected that there will be a large attendance at the next meeting of the fire company. It is refreshing to see the heartiness with which men of every profession pull off their coats and work when a fire occurs. Lawyers, doctors and ministers vie with each other in handling the festive fire bucket. Even the stolid Chinaman enters into the spirit of the occasion. We saw one handling an ax with a vigor which caused the chips to fly like hailstones. A very full and accurate census could be taken in Anaheim during a fire. The entire population congregates at the scene and the work of counting noses wouldn't be very difficult. On going to ring the fire bell it was found that the rope attached thereto was broken. Fritz Fischer had to clamber to the roof of the hotel ere an alarm could be given. Mr. Schwartz, who has the contract for sprinkling the streets, is now boring a well on his Center street lot, opposite Dr. Yocum's residence, and will immediately put up a steam pump. If he finds that the pump will not furnish enough water, he will erect a windmill in addition. His arrangements will be perfected, and he will commence sprinkling the streets in about two weeks. The Masonic picnic at Santiago canyon on the twenty-fourth instant was a pleasant affair. About fifty persons from Santa Ana and Anaheim were present.

Mendelson, Dr. A. B. Hayward, M. J. Bundy, F. Butler, and David Evey. Prof. Felix Adler, of New York, was in town on Monday evening, the guest of Mr. Theodore Rimpau. Professor Adler was much pleased with Anaheim. Mr. A. Guy Smith, in company with Mr. Cox, visited the mining district last week. They gathered specimens from all the mines and have sent them to San Francisco for assay. At a meeting of the Cajon Irrigation Company, held on Tuesday, the following officers were elected: J. W. Shanklin, president; R. H. Gilman, vice-president; W. E. Shanklin, treasurer; W. M. McFadden, secretary; R. H. Gilman, superintendent of the works, and P. Davis and P. Yorba, auditing committee.

Mr. McFadden, of Westminster, informs us that about six hundred persons took part in the temperance exercises in the pavilion at that place on Saturday.

Backs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Backs, to Miss Jessie Melrose, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Melrose. Mr. Backs is one of our popular young business men, well-to-do and good-looking, and his fiancee is a petite blond of sunny disposition, handsome of face and figure, and a top-notch prize in the matrimonial lottery. The groom-to-be is to be congratulated in winning her hand. The wedding will be solemnized in the fall. Construction of a handsome residence to be occupied by them has been begun on property east of Mr. Melrose's home. Bless you, my children. Joseph Helmsen has received notification from the Santa Fe railroad, under Kansas City date, that a miscellaneous shipment of tobacco billed to him has been caught in the flood, and asking for instructions relative to immediate disposition of the same. Joe comes from Kansas, but had been laboring under the delusion that he was to be forever exempt from cyclones, grasshoppers, and other visitations peculiar to Kansas. But he said yesterday when receiving news of the flooded tobacco, he couldn't get away from Kansas. Mrs. Laura G. Betts, formerly postmaster of this city, but for some years past a resident of Los Angeles, has her photograph in Saturday's issue of The Post, as one of the faculty of a Los Angeles business college. Mrs. Betts is instructor in telegraphy. Olympic Games to Stimulate Culture Will Exert a Great Influence on Art in California, Claimed One of the great things expected of the world Olympic games when they are held in California in 1932, it is said, is that they will provide a new stimulus to creative literature in this state and also will be a powerful influence in other phases of cultural and art life. Moreover, it is pointed out, the games, which will continue throughout 1932, will serve to advertise abroad the fact that probably no country in modern times has so definitely influenced art of a high quality as has California. The modern Olympiads, it is explained, like the Olympiads of ancient Greece, are not merely sportive, but are social, educational and sociological as well. To the cultural work of the Grecian Olympic games, critics say, the fine arts are more indebted than to all other influences combined. At the world Olympiad at Amsterdam this summer—the last to be held before the 1932 Olympiad in California—there will be not only competitions in all branches of sports and athletics, but lectures and even contests in belles lettres and the fine arts. At the California Olympiad the latter feature will emphasized to a far greater extent than at Amsterdam or at any other time since the games were revived in 1896. The exhibitions and competitions in the art at the 1932 games are expected to attract to this state large numbers of the most eminent writers, painters, sculptors, musicians, poets and architects in the world. Here they will find it pointed out, much of the same environment and radiant climatic conditions that made the ancient Greeks a light-hearted, intelligent and almost physically perfect people. Running riot in color, with its orchestra of mountain, desert, forest, foothill, valley and seashore, California is bound to appeal to them as a place ideal to inspire endeavor. A result will be, it is believed. Mrs. Laura G. Betts, formerly postmaster of this city, but for some years past a resident of Los Angeles, has her photograph in Saturday's issue of The Post, as one of the faculty of a Los Angeles business college. Mrs. Betts is instructor in telegraphy. Her two daughters are teachers in the public schools of Los Angeles, and a younger is attending school at Berkeley. Misses Julia and Pauline Nemetz, who have been spending a short vacation at Catalina, returned home Monday. A. H. Cargill and daughter, Mrs. Harrison, accompanied by the latter's little daughter, arrived on Tuesday from Yuma. Mr. Cargill is deputy county treasurer of Yuma county and will return to the territory the end of the week, business engagements requiring his attention. Mrs. Harrison and daughter will remain, visiting friends for several weeks. Harry Hanna, who recently returned from Honolulu, has in his possession a portfolio of views taken principally by himself of scenes upon the islands which afford an interesting study of conditions in the tropics. Harry owns one of the best pineapple plantations on the islands, and intends returning thither next year in time to harvest and prepare the crop for the canneries. Reverend Johnson, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, who is afflicted with cataracts on both eyes, went to Los Angeles on Monday to consult with his occulist in regard to their removal. McWilliams and Dunn, the boss contractors, have begun erection of the new Lutheran church on lots south of the Central schoolhouse. The contract price is in the neighborhood of $2000. Miss Carrie Porter, daughter of B. F. Porter, of Orange-thorpe avenue, has returned to her home for the summer vacation from Fernando, where she has been teaching school. The sugar factory will begin its season's campaign about July 10th. Owing to the late heavy rains and the prevailing cool foggy weather, the beet-root crop has been rather slow in maturing. There is assurance of a big crop and the longest sugar-making run in the history of the factory. A large force of men has been busy for months putting the machinery in order and installing in different parts of the plant labor-saving electrical motors and other devices. The Pioneer Truck and Cattle Company have shipped in from the Arizona range a first installment of 1200 head of cattle, which will be fitted for market on refuse products of sugar making, pulp and molasses at the factory yards. Mrs. Neubauer on Saturday delivered the last of her asparagus with which she has been regaling customers in town during the spring. The vegetable was the tenderest and best flavored purveyed in the local markets for years, and the lady is said to have netted quite a handsome sum therefrom. A dinner table without Mrs. Neubauer's asparagus is like home without a mother.

Running riot in color, with its orchestra of mountain, desert, forest, foothill, valley and seashore, California is bound to appeal to them as a place ideal to inspire endeavor. A result will be, it is believed, to provide an unsurpassed opportunity for cultural development of the younger generation of Californians. HANNALEI HILLS A Beautiful Subdivision Under Vista Water.

A dinner table without Mrs. Neubauer's asparagus is like home without a mother. John Rimpau has been spending some time in town with his folks, coming from Yuma to enjoy the cooling breezes of the ocean, as a short respite from the hottest town on earth. The Ladies' Aid Society of the Presbyterian church will meet at the home of Mrs. Grimshaw this afternoon. All members and Ladies of the church are invited to attend. Mrs. Tharp of San Francisco, who has been visiting her father, John Hanna, and other relatives at Miraflores, accompanied by her young son, for some weeks past, departs this week for her home in the north. Miss Eva Evans, daughter of Prof. C. P. Evans, principal of the public schools at National City, has been the guest of the Misses Wallop. Miss Evans formerly resided with her parents here, and has many friends who are much pleased to meet her again. Those of you, if any there be, who suppose Anaheim is not to celebrate the Fourth with patriotic fervor, you miss your guess. Committee meetings are had twice a week. That of Monday evening was the most enthusiastic of them all, and showed that the celebration is being whipped into excellent shape by the various committees in charge of details. Don Marco Forster of San Juan Capistrano sends word that he will be here to participate in the parade with caballeros to the number of fifty to seventy-five. Another feature will be the parade of the Third battalion, under command of Major Finley of Santa Ana. The battalion comprises the three Orange county companies, stationed at Santa Ana, Talbert, and this city. Joe Yoch's big automobile will be in the parade. The Santa Ana brass band of 2 pieces will be here, and also the Columbia Club of Santa Ana. Electrical Engineer Arthur Lewis has the matter of the illumination of the city in charge, and it will be the most gorgeous spectacle ever seen in this neck-o'-woods. Herman Dickel will be grand marshal of the parade, which will be the big event of the morning.
