PAGE TWO IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cent Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic Hist of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 20, 1878 Don Juan Warner informs us that; in going out to the Puente rancho yesterday, he saw several parties of Chinamen engaged in gathering wild mustard seed. The mongolians had tents and were encamped near the Puente station. One of the gangs numbered about twenty and all seemed to be working as though they expected to realize good wages for their labor. Mr. Cash Harvey called to see us and gave the following items from Silverado. He starts a blacksmith shop and a hay and feed yard immediately. Mr. Pierce of Fountain Valley, will open a general merchandise store. Mr. Walker of Anaheim Landing will start a boarding house and restaurant at Bear Gulch, one mile from Silverado. A boarding house will be opened also in Silverado at once. J. J. Hill returned from Silverado yesterday. He is pleased with the prospect and without hesitation pronounces it a rich country. He thinks the next few months will show startling developments. We are informed by Judge Wilson that 200 tons of honey will be produced in the San Fernando Valley this year as well as 90,000 sacks of grain. The total a this year, acco compiled, is $1, The total is dis and town lots, $1, personal property, and mortgages, sonal property, The amounts o on same, $72,1, sonal property, credits over laand town propty this year is Miss Anne honor of her cosas, who is he afternoon was the smart set tertainment. Mrs. J. L. Eve Mrs. Wm. Fall refreshments w J. J. Hill returned from Silverado yesterday. He is pleased with the prospect and without hesitation pronounces it a rich country. He thinks the next few months will show startling developments. We are informed by Judge Wilson that 200 tons of honey will be produced in the San Fernando Valley this year as well as 90,000 sacks of grain. A stage line to Silverado is greatly needed and will doubtless prove remunerative to whoever will engage in the business. A ride through the cornfields of Centralia convinces the most skeptical of the unbelievers in the extraordinary richness of the soil in this district. Hundreds of acres are seen covered with corn from 10 to 12 feet high. Perhaps the finest field of corn in Centralia is that of James P. Landell. He has over 70 acres averaging 12 feet in height, and which will yield more than 100 bushels to the acre. Some stalks have from four to six ears each. Mr. Potter has a handsome, well improved place containing many shade and fruit trees. Nearby Mr. Foster, recently from New York has erected a comfortable dwelling house and is improving his fine quarter section of land. Mr. Lyon also has a small but exceedingly well tilled place. Mr. Hill has finished his new house and has improved his farm considerably. Mr. Upson and Mr. Hickox each have fine peach and apple orchards which will bear heavily this year. All of the trees in this district are thriving splendidly and in a few years Centralia will present a forest-like appearance. Centralia has a fine literary society. The program of last week's meeting being especially excellent. After patriotic music by the choir Mrs. J. W. Landell read a humorous selection and Miss Hill delivered a recitation. F. L. Crane gave a violin solo followed by a declaration by Chas. Calloway and a song by Mr. Landell. Mr. McDowell read a selection and Miss Alice Hickox declaimed. Mrs. Cummins sang, after which John Landell gave a declaration. A farce acted by Messrs. Goodhue and Glasscock and Misses Metcalf and Calloway, concluded the entertainment. Centralia also has a fine sabbath school. Mrs. Hughes is the superintendent. Religious exercises are held in the public school house every alternate Sunday. Rev. Mr. Mitchell of Anaheim officiating. The next few days will witness quite an exodus from this vicinity to the seaside at Laguna. One party, composed of Miss Alice Chase, Mr. Schaumberger and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Guinn and three members of the Des Granges family will leave on Tuesday and remain by the sad sea waves a couple of weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Al Smith, photographers, returned on Thursday night from the mountains, and although Mr. Smith is still suffering from his broken arm they are prepared to take photographs and execute all details of the art. We recommend a visit to their gallery on Los Angeles street and an inspection of their handwork in retouching and enlarging photographs—a branch of their business in which they are remarkably proficient. As their stay is limited, those desiring pictures should attend to the matter at once. At a meeting of the Anaheim Fire department, called to order by D. Nagle foreman in Judge Bailey's office on last Wednesday...

As their stay is limited, those desiring pictures should attend to the matter at once. At a meeting of the Anaheim Fire department, called to order by D. Nagle, foreman, in Judge Bailey's office on last Wednesday evening, after despatching sundry portions of unfinished business the list for new members was opened and many affixed their names to the membership roll. The meeting decided to give a picnic in the near future for the purpose of raising funds to meet incidental expenses. After adjournment a practice drill was held at the company's truck house. We cannot but think that our fire department, though its apparatus has been viewed by many as something for laughter and derision, will prove, when properly conducted, of investigable value to our town in battling with the fire fiend. The stockholders of the Anaheim Hide and Leather Co. held a well attended meeting on Monday evening at the Bank building. A. Guy Smith was called to the chair and E. Schubert to act as secretary pro tem, and then proceeded to organize. It was resolved to elect five directors and Messrs. Smith, Seibert, Miles, Schubert and Look were chosen by ballot. A committee of three, consisting of Messrs. Saxton, Seibert and Schubert, were chosen to draft by-laws to be presented at next meeting. Messrs. Koenig and Osterman offered the lot formerly occupied as a lumber yard as a location for the tannery, and the board of directors resolved to visit the place and interview the proprietors next day at 10 a.m. and perfect arrangements for starting business at once. The meeting then adjourned until next Monday evening at the same hour and place. J. E. Jackson, county surveyor, called on us last evening in company of one old-time friend, W. I. Rumble. These gentlemen are on their way to Silverado, where Mr. Jackson as Deputy United States Mineral Surveyor, will survey and locate mining claims. BORN—In Anaheim July 19, 1878, to the wife of D. J. Sorensen, a son. J. Burnap brought a box of ripe grapes of the Mission variety into town yesterday. They were grown at an Indian rancheria, near Walter's Station on the Colorado desert.

Everyhardy, of Leavenworth, Kansas, who is here with his bride on their honeymoon trip. The afternoon was pleasantly spent at a lawn party at which many of the smart set were present.

Falkenstein rendered a piano-forte solo. Delightful refreshments were served during the afternoon. Plans Forming For State Trademark Proposed to Standardize All Products of the State First definite steps toward the adoption of a state trademark, grade standard and advertising program for all California-grown articles has been undertaken according to announcement made by Simon J. Lubin, president of the Sacramento Region Citizens' Council. Preliminary drafting of the bill to be introduced at the next session of the California State Legislature and discussion of details to be incorporated by a conference committee called by the council. Those who assisted in the preparation of the bill were: Assemblyman Van Bernard, John Hale, peach grower and member of Gov. Young's peach conference committee; W. F.

The conference was called for the purpose of drafting a bill which would call for the setting up of a bureau of standards and publicity, to be financed out of a revolving fund. This fund is to be obtained by means of a small fee charged against the article which is to be graded according to quality and stamped with the official State trademark. "The results of this conference were extremely satisfying." Lubin said. "We Miss Anne Everhardy entertained on Tuesday afternoon in honor of her cousin, Dr. J. L.

Mr. Eichler is a brother of Mrs. Konig. Wm. Crowther was in town from Placentia some days ago and reports a continued fall of walnuts. He says not to exceed a fourth of a crop will be the yield in some orchards. The shortage is due to blight and unseasonable spring rains. Miss Alma Mills was tendered a farewell party on Friday evening at the Del Campo by members of the S. O. M. club. Miss Mills will join her family at Riverside after spending the summer at Long Beach.

This fund is to be obtained by means of a small fee charged against the article which is to be graded according to quality and stamped with the official State trademark. "The results of this conference were extremely satisfying," Lubin said. "We met with a common purpose in mind; that of doing our level best for the California farmer and for consumers everywhere. The progress we made in drafting the bill and the unanimity of opinion shows that we are not only in the right church but also in the right pew." When it comes to hearing the speeches at national conventions a radio is a lot better equipment now than a ticket for a seat in the gallery. The mayor of an Ohio town had a man whipped for getting drunk. It is our opinion that a hide full of bootleggers' liquor ought to be sufficient punishment for any man.

My good mother has gone to her rest but have suffered upon her judgment and have given Syrup Pepsin to children since they were born. It is certainly a great miracle and never fails of its purpose. I like to recommend it (Name and address will be sent upon request). And in the Evening of Life When age comes creeping on, with bowels relaxed, muscles weak, digestion poor and blood thinned, then is when constipation does its evil work in a night. Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is so palatable, sets so well in the stomach, works so easily, so gently, so mildly with old folks as to accomplish its purpose which gives pain or other distress. For billiousness, sour breath, nausea, headaches, fevers, colds and constipation old and new Syrup Pepsin is recommended every day by all doctors.
