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 JULY 13, 1878, 50 YEARS AGO When the great American Eagle awoke on the Fourth of July morning, and from his lofty eyrie in the clouds cast his eye over these United States of America, and saw the preparations which had been made to do him honor as the emblem of "the best government under the sun," he doubtless cavorted with more than usual abandon in the blue empyrean, and singled out and hovered lovingly over purple-fruited Anaheim where the multitude was hailing the day in the most patriotic and clamorous manner. Only three days had been spent in preparing the details of the celebration the like of which was never before seen in Anaheim. The executive committee was composed of C. E. Leonard, Henry Kuchel, H. Cohn, M. A. Mendelson and R. Menzel. At the stroke of 10 o'clock the clang of the fire bell announced that the parade was leaving the rendezvous. The procession moved up Center street in fine order, presenting to the eyes of the spectators on the balconies and on the streets a kaleidoscope of imposing, humorous original and gorgeous scenes. First came the Grand Marshal, R. M. Barham, and his aids, E. Schubert and A. C. Roques. Then H. Cohn, carrying aloft the Stars and Stripes. The Brass Band followed, disoursieng pariotic airs. Several burlesque carriages followed, one driven by an individual whom an inscription told us was the town marshal. In the body of this wagon, gracefully inclining upon a pile of straw, was the night-watchman. His chief occupation appeared to be to woo the Glover and the glitter age citizen he enjoyed himself there was much the ground eats about the same day, thou on a strike ride. In this brought forth revolve at a small boy, merry-go-rouse. A bunch tents for Jurry A row of games flourish. The par charger like he had fancy me ensemble. Followin At the stroke of 10 o'clock the clang of the fire bell announced that the parade was leaving the rendezvous. The procession moved up Center street in fine order, presenting to the eyes of the spectators on the balconies and on the streets a kaleidoscope of imposing, humorous original and gorgeous scenes. First came the Grand Marshal, R. M. Barham, and his aids, E. Schubert and A. C. Roques. Then H. Cohn, carrying aloft the Stars and Stripes. The Brass Band followed, dissuising pariotic airs. Several burlesque carriages followed, one driven by an individual whom an inscription told us was the town marshal. In the body of this wagon, gracefully inclining upon a pile of straw, was the nightwatchman. His chief occupation appeared to be to woo the "balmy." Our sensitive night watchman will undoubtedly enjoy this burlesque. In the next wagon sat a disguised person armed with a very small piece of hose and a very large nozzle with which he would occasionally squirt water upon the crowd. A two-horse carriage containing three ridiculous maskers representing the town trustees, each carrying placards, on one was the inscription, "Down With the Trustees," on another "How about those ordinances;" the third made a loud demand for equal taxation, etc., etc. Carriage with Mrs. Patrtington and Ike. The Anaheim Fire department had a fine display. The chief led, followed by three axemen, and then the hook and ladder truck, gaily decorated and drawn by thirty stalwart members of the company. On a raised flower-covered dais on the truck sat Chief Sorensen's little daughter, guarded by the brawny fireman, Nagle. And now came a beautiful feature. On a wagon was a huge whaleboat, streaming with flags and flowers, and along each side a banner inscribed "Anaheim Lighter Company." The boat was manned by five sailors who pulled the oars right lustily. These sons of the sea and the agent, George Hull, deserve the thanks of the community for their fine display. A floral car with children representing the states of the Union with the Goddess of Liberty in the center. Carriage with members of the town council, Hille's bakery, H. A. Stough & Co.'s blacksmith shop. A wagon with furniture from F. & J. Back's store, Pilgrim's jewelry store, L. Wartenberg as a sonorianian was conspicuous and natural. Pete Richards, clothed as a miner, bearing a pick canteen, revolver, etc., and leading by a rope a diminutive jack, over which was thrown a sheet with inscriptions, "Bound for Silverado," "$5000 to the Ton," etc. The procession disbanded in front of Kroeger's hall, where the literary exercises were held. Isaac Cohen, the president of the day, in a few well chosen words, introduced Fred Athearn, who read the Declaration of Independence. W. H. Henderson gave an oration. Music by the band followed by an oration by Rev. A. G. L. Trew. After more music Judge Bailey gave an oration. Music by the band and dismissal by the president of the day. After these exercises the executive committee gave a dinner to the speakers at the Anaheim hotel. In the afternoon the crowd wended its way to the Tivoli gardens. The ball given by the Magnolia Social club at their hall in the evening was well attended. The costumes of the ladies were faultless and elegant and the day closed as it began—peacefully, harmoniously, happily. On Tuesday evening the Thespean club elected the following officers for the ensuing term of six months: Fred J. Fischer, president; Miss Libbie Yocum, vice-president; Miss Ella Mitchell, secretary; John Hartung, treasurer; J. C. Langenberger, stage manager; Chas. H. Zeyn, promoter.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of Anaheim School district held on Monday last, the contract for the building of the new school house was awarded to G. F. Leonard of Los Angeles, for $9100. The offer of Messrs. Perry Woodworth & Co. to purchase the bonds of the school district at par, half gold and half silver, was accepted. Miss Katie Olden will take her departure this morning for San Jose, at which place she will remain a year attending school. Miss Adah Des Granges accompanies Miss Olden to San Jose for a short visit. A correspondent writing from Westminster says that two ladies drove a sorrel mare from that town to Los Angeles (a distance of twenty-three miles) in one hour and forty-five minutes, a little over four and a half minutes for each mile. We have our opinion of that correspondent. The Anaheim Literary society met on Thursday evening in Magnolia hall. J. M. Guinn read a criticism on the exercises of the previous evening. Otto Des Granges declaired, "Reinze's Address to the Romans." Mr. Grunshaw gave a select reading. The question, Resolved That the career of Napoleon Bonaparte was beneficial to France, was discussed by Messrs. Guinn, Mitchell and Beebe affirmatively, and by Messrs. McFadden, Mendelson and Cahill negative. A laughable farce entitled "The Fourth of July," was enacted by Messrs. Hanna, Shafer, Ferguson, McKinnie. Messrs. Addison Dyer and Homer Cartright were elected as members of the society. It is very gratifying to the faithful few who stood by the society when the public had lost interest in its meetings and ceased to attend them, to see their efforts to sustain and build it up a last rewarded with success, which is evident from the large and attentive audiences that attend its weekly meetings. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 9, 1903. 25 YEARS AGO The Glorious Fourth has passed, the decorations are down and the glitter and glare of the celebration is no more—the average citizen has about come to the conclusion that while every one enjoyed himself, and there were more than 5000 visitors in town, there was much that was of punk variety. The snake man was on the ground early. He came from Los Angeles and arrived two days before the big day. A dilapidated merry-go-round pulled in about the same time. When about to begin operations on the glorious day, the engine burst a boiler flue or something, and went on a strike. A crowd of many hundreds gathered eager for a ride. In this juncture of affairs a couple of spavined horses were brought forth, hitched to the works, and the machine made to revolve at a snail's pace. A wheezy hand organ, propelled by a small boy, added further gloom to the surroundings. But the merry-go-round people made a barrel of money. A bunch of fakirs came in on Friday and began erecting tents for Juno and the rest of them, but their harvest was small. A row of gamblers' tents caught a lot of suckers and some skin games flourished. The parade was good. Grand Marshal Dickel be-stride his charger like a brigadier of Uhlan cavalry. His numerous aides had fancy mounts and added largely to the picturesqueness of the ensemble. Following the Santa Ana Brass band came the Military Company H of Talbert Company E of this city and Company L of Butter Consumption Of Orange County Over Twenty-Three Pounds Per Capita Consumed Butter manufacturers and producers, with an output of 3,207,587 pounds last year in excess of the preceding twelve months, are headed for a successful year, according to G. H. Hecke, director of the State Department of Agriculture, and the dairy industry generally is one of the most prosperous branches of agriculture in the state. Orange county had a per capita butter consumption for the year of 23.24 pounds, but apparently depended on neighboring counties to produce its butter. The county manu factured only 3387 pounds. Butter production is still far below consumption in California, however. With an output of 77,344,647 pounds in the State for 1927, Los Angeles imported 21,075,496 pounds. San Francisco 7,733,011 pounds and individual concerns 910,334 pounds. During the same period, Hecke pointed out, Los Angeles exported only 19,435 pounds. San Francisco 1,778,923 pounds and individual concerns 447,059 pounds—making total exports of 2,245,412 pounds. Indicative of the opportunity for expansion in the dairy industry, Hecke reported that consumption of butter in California exceeded production by 27,-264,204 pounds for the year. Kings county led the butter manufacturing industry for the year with a production of 9,088,193 pounds; Stanius was second; Humboldt third and San Francisco fourth. Butter brought an average price of nearly 50 cents per pound for the year, returning $36,149,655 in the aggregate.

His numerous aides had fancy mounts and added largely to the picturesqueness of the ensemble. Following the Santa Ana Brass band came the Military Company H of Talbert, Company E of this city and Company L of Santa Ana, under the command of Major Finley. Then came a division of the naval malitia, comprising a detachment of seamen from the government training shop, Pinta, stationed at San Pedro. The boys were under command of Lieutenant Junior Grade Ray Costerison, and looked well. Then followed business and lodge floats. First came that of Stern & Goodman of Fullerton. This was followed by the float of the Rebekah lodge of this city. The T. U. C. girls looked lovely in their Tally-ho. Chas. Federman's gaily decorated cart was one of the features of the parade. Peter Weisel and Joseph Yoch had their automobiles out, gaily decked out in the national colors and evergreens. Then came carriages bearing officers of the parade, orator of the day and distinguished citizens. The parade passed through downtown streets and proceeded to the Central school grounds, where the exercises of the day were held. Judge West of the superior court was president of the day. Senator Caldwell spoke for an hour on the good old story which is ever new. At 1 o'clock the vast audience dispersed for luncheon. The militia were entertained at a barbecue feast. During the afternoon there were concerts and games. The festivities were brought to a close by a brilliant display of fireworks in the evening. C. Schindler began work this week on the new postoffice building which will have a depth of 60 feet and a frontage of 25 feet on Center street, near the corner of Lemon. The corner lot remains vacant, but it is given out that a new business block will soon be erected on the site. E. R. Turck has gone to Chino to resume his position in the sugar factory there. Mrs. Turck and Arthur accompanied him. Mr. Turck has recently returned from a trip to Germany, where he attended the International Chemistry congress. Ten thousand pounds of milk are delivered daily at the new skimming station at Centralia. This station was started by farmers in the vicinity of Buena Park, who are dissatisfied with the creamery at that place. Miss Emma Feather was called to her home in Indiana last week by the death of her father. She expects to remain permanently with her mother, who is in feeble health. Mrs. Lloyd, who has been visiting at the home of her parents, Col. and Mrs. J. K. Tuffree, during the past two weeks, returned to her home in Los Angeles some days ago. Mrs. Landell returned last week from Carlesbad, San Diego county, where she has spent several months with her daughter, Mrs. Hargreaves. Mrs. E. B. Merritt and daughter, Eva, left Thursday for a two-months' visit to Long Beach. Kings county led the butter manufacturing industry for the year with a production of 9,088,193 pounds; Stanislaus was second; Humboldt third and Sun Francisco fourth. Butter brought an average price of nearly 50 cents per pound for the year, returning $36,149,655 in the aggregate. GRIST OF INTELLECTUALS The colleges of the country have been discharging upon the world another grist of young intellectuals. They have been lectured at, preached to, been impressed with the problems to be confronted, and with the great opportunities before them. They have been told that they are living in one of the greatest eras of the world's history, which might have some significance if the college graduates of all generations for centuries had not been told exactly the same thing. Reading a baccalaureate sermon of the last years of the eighteenth century, one is impressed with the sameness of advice, of dangers, of problems, and all the rest. It can be said, however, that never before have more intellectuals been let loose upon the world than in this year of our Lord 1928. All the colleges are crowded. More apply than can be accommodated. To those who are near to this intellectual world it seems as though the great mass of our young people are going to college. As a matter of fact, not more than one-third of one per cent of those who start in the public schools ever reach college halls. The intellectuals form a rather insignificant group in our social life. With the increasing complexities and gigantic character of our political, social and industrial life an increasing number of trained minds are required. The rule of thumb no longer works in the carrying on of industry. If one marks the organization of business today he is impressed with the bigness of it all. To call attention to only one industry, the public utility industry, it will be seen that the elaborateness of organization is almost baffling. A local masst and electric company is controlled by the great holding company covering whole sections of the country, finally heading up in some great financial company which controls them all. It takes a financial genius to comprehend an organization so vast and so ramifying. It is these large enterprises that are calling for college graduates. Formerly only the professions were open to them. Now these college people are passing up the professions, and going into business. Life with all its complexities will be what these intellectual leaders make it, and what they make it will depend quite as much on their moral and humanitarian ideals as their intellectual and executive ability. We have every reason to believe that moral ideals are having more force in the industrial world. Men who see through things clearly see that the old proverb, "honesty is the best policy," was never tuer than it is today. Unless business rests upon moral foundations it will not get far before it breaks down. While the making of money and the Mrs. Lloyd, who has been visiting at the home of her parents, Col. and Mrs. J. K. Tuffree, during the past two weeks, returned to her home in Los Angeles some days ago. Mrs. Landell returned last week from Carlesbad, San Diego county, where she has spent several months with her daughter, Mrs. Hargreaves. Mrs. E. B. Merritt and daughter, Eva, left Thursday for a two-months' visit to Long Beach. Rex Cayce and family were over from Santa Ana on the Fourth celebrating the day with friends. W. B. Hutchinson, an experienced druggist, recently from Tucson, has purchased the drug store of W. P. Turner, who has been compelled on account of ill health to relinquish charge of the store. Mrs. Ernest Bentz and mother, Mrs. Berringer, have returned from the East and have taken rooms at the Del Campo. Samuel Armor of Orange was in town on the Fourth taking in the sights, listening to Senator Caldwell's speech and seeing the people throwing confetti on the streets. Mons. Champagne has returned from a trip to Paris and has resumed his position in Yungbluth's tailoring emporium. Capt. and Mrs. Ahlborn have moved into the Dr. Hardin cottage, which they will occupy until their new home is built. Dave and Ernest Yorba and Roscinda Peralta were among the people in town on the Fourth from up the river. Herman Backs returned home from San Francisco some days ago and may remain. Mrs. Rehuveldt and Mrs. Storm have moved into the cottage in Los Angeles which Mrs. Rehuveldt recently purchased from Frank Baum. R. H. Gilman is putting in 1320 feet of fluming on his Borromeo ranch. Mrs. John Hart came down from Los Angeles on Monday to visit for a few days with friends here. These intellectuals are looking upon life from a totally different angle than the intellectuals of a generation ago. We hear much about the new psychology. We are being warned against it by the pulpit, but the new psychology, as it really is, is bound to influence life profoundly, but not for evil, as many fear. It is studying the motives and causes which underlie human activity, and it is pointing out low human life and activity should be directed that it may not fall foul of universal law. A new generatin will have to appear before the full significance of the new scientific knowledge and viewpoint can be sensed. In the meantime, the intellectual of today, with his greater knowledge, owes it to those who have not had his chance, to lead wisely and for the common good. If the college has not created that purpose, it has failed in large measure. The hope of the future is wrapped up in this great mass of young life going out from our colleges, but the important question is, where are they going and what are they after? Ananias certainly was born too soon. Just think what a princely salary he could get nowadays writing real estate ads for bloom towns. A German back driver drove all the way from Berlin to Paris 665 miles and was greeted with cheers. Wouldn't you like to know what his taximeter regtred when he got there?
