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 29, 1878 The Board of Town Trustees held a meeting on Saturday to consider proposals for sprinkling the streets. F. Conrad proposed to do the sprinkling for $4.90 per day, L. F. Lewis for $6 and E. F. Cahill proposed that the town expend $1200 in boring wells on the town lot and erect pumping machinery. He would then contract to sprinkle the streets for three years for a compensation of $3 per day. Mr. Cohen moved to accept Mr. Cahill's bid. Rejected. Ayes—Look and Cohen; noes—Yocum, Boere and Kirby. A motion to indefinitely postpone action in this matter was then made by Mr. Cohen, but an amendment by Dr. Yocum to postpone action until the next regular meeting was adopted. A communication giving a list of the officers-elect of the Fire company, and asking the trustees to turn over the property to said officers was received and the clerk was ordered to return the communication to the writer. When the retiring officers certify to the election of their successors the board will doubtless comply with the request contained in the communication. After months of unceasing labor on the part of the school trustees the building of the new school house is fairly under way. The contract for the erection of the building was awarded to Geo. F. Leonard, a gentleman who has had a large experience in the business, both in this county and in San Francisco. The price agreed upon was $9100, and bonds were given by the contractor to the school trustees for the faithful performance of the con- After months of unceasing labor on the part of the school trustees the building of the new school house is fairly under way. The contract for the erection of the building was awarded to Geo. F. Leonard, a gentleman who has had a large experience in the business, both in this county and in San Francisco. The price agreed upon was $9100, and bonds were given by the contractor to the school trustees for the faithful performance of the contract. Mr. Leonard has made a contract with Mr. Schindler for the brick work and excavations necessary for the foundation, which is to be finished on or before August 3rd. The trustees will commence the boring of a well upon the lot immediately. The well will be bored down to the gravel, a distance of 90 to 100 feet so as to obtain a good flow of water from the lower strata. A tank and windmill will be erected at some future day. The building when completed will be one of the finest in the county, and the tastefully arranged school lot will be an ornament to the town and a source of pride to its citizens. The bonds of the school district were sold to Messrs. Perry and Woodworth of Los Angeles at par, half gold and half silver. The bonds are now in the hands of the county school superintendent for his signature. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Seibert gave a reception at their residence on Monday evening, the occasion being the twentieth anniversary of their marriage, or "china wedding." The evidences of esteem and good will in the shape of presents of chinaware, were abundant, so much so that there is now a dearth of delft on the shelves of the stores in Anaheim. A very large circle of friends were present to congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Seibert. The evening was passed pleasantly in social conversation and many a witty mot and merry jest was made. Excellent music; vocal and instrumental, was discoursed during the evening by several ladies and gentlemen. Messrs. Reiser and Langenberger, who went to Los Angeles on Wednesday in the interests of the Anaheim Water company, secured a right-of-way for the ditch to connect with that of the Cajon company. They also consulted with Messrs. Hutton and Godfrey as to the legality of the trustees purchasing an interest in the Cajon company and whether the Anaheim company would jeopardize any of its water rights by such action. The lawyers asked for time to consult authorities. The connecting ditch is now being made, and if the Cajon ditch is completed a distance of eight miles, as agreed upon, water will be served in town on Monday. Judge McNealy of San Diego will preside in the District court in Los Angeles on August 9th and will hear arguments for a new trial in the injunction suit of the Anaheim Water company against the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company and the Yorbas. If a new trial is granted a motion will be made to proceed with the trial, and it is possible that the question of Anaheim's priority of water right will be speedily adjudicated. It is stated that G. Wiley Wells will enter into a partnership with Judge Brunson of Los Angeles. Mr. Wells has represented Mississippi in Congress and has only lately been relieved as consul to China. and will hear arguments for a new trial in the injunction suit of the Anaheim Water company against the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company and the Yorbas.

Allis, formerly pastor of the Anaheim Presbyterian church, had the honor of christening the triplets recently born in San Francisco. The excursion to Santa Monica on Sunday, August 4th, will probably draw a great many of our citizens to that seaside retreat. S. A. Sheffield has bought Mr. McTaggart's 80 acres at Orangethorpe. The price paid was $30 per acre. We regret to learn that E. M. Ferguson will sever his connection with the Pioneer drug store on next Monday. He will rusticate for a time in Santa Ana and then enter the State University at Berkeley. He will be succeeded in the drug store by Fred McKinnie. One of the most elated men in Anaheim on Saturday was Mr. Huntington. He had just had an assay made of ore from his mine in Silverado, and the astonishing result of $4230 to the ton was reached. James Thompson, a former sheriff of this county, has been appointed to the office of jailor by Sheriff Mitchell. John Eberle, while at San Antonio ranch last Saturday near Florence, was attacked by a wild cat, which made two jumps at him out of the willows. Mr. Eberle gave it both charges of his gun, killing it instantly. The animal weighed 62½ lbs. H. E. Boldt died at his residence in Anaheim yesterday, aged 54 years and 7 months. He had been a resident of Anaheim for the past fourteen years, and his taking off leaves quite a void in the ranks of the old settlers. The funeral will take place from his residence this morning at 9 o'clock. Messrs. P. H. Look & Co. shipped seven carloads of sheep to San Francisco yesterday. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 23, 1903 The school trustees have made the following appointments for the ensuing year: High school, H. E. Pinnell, principal; Miss Inez Padan. Classics: To their former places, Miss E. Kate Rae and Miss Ingraham. The teacher of science has not been selected. Prof. Pinnell is from Santa Maria, where he has been superintendent of the high school, and Miss Padan is from Iowa. In the Central school, Miss Carrie S. Roberts will be the principal and Miss Bessie Elliott will teach the sixth grade. Miss Dora Snyder and Mrs. Spencer will teach the West End school, and Miss Serena Christensen will be principal of Katella school. Yesterday the Stern family took its departure for Europe, to be absent three or four months. The party consists of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Stern of Fullerton and their two children. Miss H. Lavanthal of San Francisco, sister of Mrs. Stern; Gus Stern and Capt. Herman Stern of this city. The party will arrive in New York on the 28th; will sail on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, reaching Bremen in six days. They go to Saxony, where their parents reside, and where on September 11th, they will celebrate their golden wedding. Wm. Schumacher, head butcher at Howk's meat market, had the bad luck to have a piece of the middle finger of his left hand chipped off by a cake of ice falling upon it. The accident was a painful one and while giving Mr. Schumacher no little distress, Increased Acreage Of Wine Grapes Table* and Raisin Grapes. Decrease in California While the total acreage of raisin and table grapes in bearing this season decreased 12,402 acres during the last year in California, the acreage devoted to grapes for wine making purposes increased by 6827 acres. This revealed in the joint report prepared by Statistician E. E. Kaufman and Assistant Statistician N. I. Nielson of the federal-state crop reporting service. The total etsimated 1928 bearing and non-bearing acreage of all classes of grapes in Orange county was 370 acres, as compared with 150 acres in 1927, all of which were devoted to wine grapes, the report says. California shipped 74,511 cars of the 81,194 carload shipments in the United States, Kaufman and Nielson declare, making a total of 92 per cent of all grape shipments in the entire country. "The combined condition of all classes of grapes on July 1, 1928, was 99 per cent of normal indicating a crop of about 2,555,000 tons compared with 2,-400,000 tons last year. The total acreage of grapes this year in bearing is 656-549 acres compared with 658,528 acres in 1927. "The condition of wine grapes on July 1 was 96 per cent of normal, which indicates that production will approximate 505,000 tons providing the present outlook is maintained until harvest. In 1927 the wine grape crop amounted to 473,000 tons, showing an increase of 137,000 tons. Prospects are uniformly good throughout the state this year." Table grapes show a condition of 95 per cent of normal. On this basis, it is expected that the crop will total 510,000 tons. The condition of raisin grapes on July 1 was 101 per cent of normal, indicating a crop of 1,540,000 tons on a fresh basis. Last to be absent three or four months. The party consists of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Stern of Fullerton and their two children. Miss H. Lavanthal of San Francisco, sister of Mrs. Stern; Gus Stern and Capt. Herman Stern of this city. The party will arrive in New York on the 28th; will sail on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, reaching Bremen in six days. They go to Saxony, where their parents reside, and where on September 11th, they will celebrate their golden wedding. Wm. Schumacher, head butcher at Howk's meat market, had the bad luck to have a piece of the middle finger of his left hand chipped off by a cake of ice falling upon it. The accident was a painful one and while giving Mr. Schumacher no little distress, no permanent injury is anticipated. Rudolph Bentz is assisting in the market. Mrs. Brewett, who has been a guest of Mrs. Chester Holomb and Miss Dora Zeyn for some weeks past, leaves this week for her home in Alameda. Mrs. Brewett's residence in that town is now under lease to James Corbett, who occupies it with his wife, the house being near his training quarters. Mrs. Henry Kroeger is lying very ill at her residence with an attack of bronchitis and heart trouble. Mrs. Kroeger is one of Anaheim's earliest pioneers and has lived here with her family since the 60's. She has a wide circle of friends who hope for her recovery. Last Thursday evening the Christian Endeavor society tendered Miss Alma Mills a farewell society at the home of Miss Ella Rae. A goodly number were present and an enjoyable evening spent. J. D. Ott, the well-known Santa Ana capitalist, was in town on Saturday on a brief mission. It is twenty-eight years since Jim first saw Anaheim and he is just as young and just as handsome as ever. Wm. Konig left on Monday morning for San Jacinto to take the baths at the Hot Springs. He feels a touch of rheumatism coming on and will be absent a couple of weeks in an effort to rid himself of it. Thomas Strain is setting out 500 valencia orange trees on his Placentia place, and budding 300 lemon trees to oranges. He is starting a private nursery to grow his own trees. Mr. Kealilher is home from Long Beach, where he has been engaged for some time past at the carpenter trade. The seaside town is growing and remains dryer than dust. Jacob Berlin will soon begin the erection of a ten-room house in the mission style of architecture for Mrs. Esolinda de Yorba on her tract of land at Yorba. Vice-President Hartung of the First National Bank, has shaved off his mustache, and is now a close second to Cashier Holcomb as the handsomest man in the institution. C. C. Chapman has shipped from his Santa Isabel ranch in Placentia 101 carloads of fruit and has yet some 90 carloads to go forward. The last of these oranges will not be shipped prior to November. Thos. Strain has forwarded to the eastern markets 60 carloads of oranges from the Placentia orchards and has yet 12 carloads to move. Eastern markets are looking up a bit. The condition of wine grapes on July 1 was 96 per cent of normal, which indicates that production will approximate 505,000 tons providing the present outlook is maintained until harvest. In 1927 the wine grape crop amounted to 473,000 tons, showing an increase of 187,000 tons. Prospects are uniformly good throughout the state this year. "Table grapes show a condition of 95 per cent of normal. On this basis, it is expected that the crop will total about 510,000 tons. The condition of rasin grapes on July 1 was 101 per cent of normal, indicating a crop of 1,540,000 tons on a fresh basis. Last year the crop of rasin grapes amounted to 1,443,000 tons. "Practically all varieties set well and developed a large amount of foliage this year," the report states. "There was a little damage in rasin grapes in restricted areas in the San Joquin valley due to temperatures that occurred the first week of June, but good conditions prevail generally throughout the state." Secretary Hoover couldn't have got by any neater if he had been pitching for the New York Yankees. Ice box manufacturers go on record as saying that the 75-pound chunk of ice is not economical. This is especially true when it only weighs 48 pounds.

It is certainly a noble medicine and never fails of its purpose. I like to recommend it.

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is so palatable, sets so well in the stomach, works so easily, so gently, so kindly with old folks as to accomplish its purpose without gripe, pain or other distress.
