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 AUGUST 3, 1878 There are quite a number of campers at Anaheim Landing this season. Its accessibility and the immunity from the many inconveniences which one has to undergo at Laguna makes it a much more desirable resort for the majority of people. The presence of stingarees has heretofore prevented timid people from surf bathing, but as these fish are to be encountered at almost every point on the coast, they have of late been regarded as an evil it is impossible to avoid and but little to be feared. So far this season no one has been stung, and there is a perceptible diminution in the number of stingarees. The weather at the Landing is delightfully bracing and the daily bath is a tonic which far surpasses anything in materia medica. One of the industries of Anaheim Landing is shark catching—not the man-eating fish of that name, but the ground shark. About thirty or forty a day are caught, tried out and the oil shipped to San Francisco in barrels. The fins of the shark have also a ready sale among the Chinese who consider them a great luxury. Supervisor Ott has written to our citizens informing them that he will be at Squires' place this morning for the purpose of viewing a road from Anaheim to Silverado, as petitioned for and asking those who are interested in the matter to meet and accompany him. Messrs. Fischer, Korn, Zevn and Boege and possibly others will avail themselves of this invitation to assist in securing products to them. They will make berries, vegetables possible to me pointed a corner of requesting town oiled and business men money toward dues were raised.

Supervisor Ott has written to our citizens informing them that he will be at Squires' place this morning for the purpose of viewing a road from Anaheim to Silverado, as petitioned for and asking those who are interested in the matter to meet and accompany him. Messrs. Fischer, Korn, Zevn and Boege and possibly others will avail themselves of this invitation to assist in securing the best route. There will be a contest for the trade of the mines, and as the locators of Silverado are mostly from Anaheim it is natural they should turn their trade this way. Mr. Paty expects to accompany the viewing party. He has a strong incentive to have the best route adopted, in the fact that he has a contract for hauling one hundred tons of coal from the Black Star mine. Judge Sepulveda on Monday granted an order in the case of Thistlewaite, et al., vs. Taylor, et al., restraining the defendants from taking out, mining or removing any ore or other material from the Blue Light Lode (Dunlap & Co.) until further order of court. Mr. Schindler is now at work on the foundation of the new school house, and the elegant shape of it is already apparent. We learn that Mr. Stappenbeck has been engaged by the trustees to superintend the erection of the building. Five cars of lumber for the building reached here on Thursday night. J. J. Dyer has been awarded the contract to haul it from the denot to the school lot. He commenced the work of hauling yesterday afternoon. The Anaheim Literary society held its ordinary meeting in Magnolia hall on Thursday evening. President Henderson in the chair. C. E. Leonard delivered "The Death of Montrose." J. D. Fish gave a selection from Cowner, and G. B. Shafer "Defense of Cataline." The critic of the previous meeting having been called away on business his report lay over till the next meeting. The question, "Resolved That literary and dramatic societies are beneficial to a community," was then discussed in the affirmative by Messrs. Montgomery, Payne and Henderson, who vacated the chair in favor of Mr. Montgomery, while he made his speech, and in the negative by Messrs. Cahill and Athearn. The committee consisted of C. E. Leonard. Mrs. McKennie and Miss Anna Fischer, decided in favor of the affirmative. The debate was a singularly lively one and gave a good deal of amusement to the audience. By request Mr. Athearn read a humorous extract from a Fourth of July oration, in which the mule is recommended as a more suitable bird than the American eagle as a symbol of our country. The program for next meeting is as follows: Declaimers, M. A. Mendelson and F. McKinnie. Debate: "Resolved That the execution of Mary Queen of Scots was justifiable." Affirmative. Messrs. McFadden, Grimshaw, Hanna; negative, Messrs. Beebe, Dyer, Leonard. W. G. McPherson has been appointed teacher of the school at Centralia. The session will commence on August 12th. Theodore Reiser last evening received authority from the Grand Master of Masons of this state to act as Deputy G. M. in the ceremonies attending the laying of the corner stone of the new school building, which event will take place in about two weeks.

Adolph Rimpau yesterday received a telegram from San Juan Capistrano conveying the sad intelligence of the death of Pablo Pryor. The funeral will take place today. Victor Montgomery will leave tomorrow for a visit to the San Juan Hot Springs. He will be absent for about two weeks. On July 24th, 1878, there was born to John Y. Anderson and Mrs. Vesta C. Anderson, a son. And his name shall be called John. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were the first settlers in Westminster. Many a tale of trial and want, of grasshoppers and drought, of flood and fire can they relate to newcomers. They were the first to encourage Rev. Webber in founding this colony.—Item from our Westminster Correspondent. Two horses, wagon and harness are offered for sale very cheap by Mrs. G. H. Kellogg. The eclipse of the sun came off as advertised on Monday and was a magnificent spectacle. It became visible in Anaheim a little after 1 o'clock, increased in size for more than an hour and then gradually faded away until at 3:40 it had totally disappeared. The atmosphere took on a peculiar tinge and the thermometer on the piazza of the Planters Hotel kept fluctuating between 90 and 96 degrees. Monday, the day of the eclipse, was made further memorable by the birth of a son to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ey. We have the authority of the happy father for saying that the little shaver weighs 12 pounds and looks exactly like his sire. It is said that of the assets of the late banking house of Temple and Workman, notes to the amount of $277,000 are utterly worthless. A telegraph station will soon be established at Mission San Gabriel. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 30, 1903 The Chamber of Commerce has appointed Messrs. J. S. Howard and C. F. Grim a committee to prepare an exhibit of Anaheim products to be placed in the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce. They will make an effort to have as fine a display of local fruits, berries, vegetables and products of the cannery and dryers as is possible to make. Messrs. Dickel Johnson and Krick were appointed a committee to call upon the supervisors for the purpose of requesting the board to have all streets and roads leading into town oiled and placed in good condition. The merchants and other business men stand ready to donate any reasonable amount of money toward paying for a portion of the work. Membership dues were raised from 25 cents to 50 cents per month. The Fullerton Board of Trade at a meeting last week authorized Robert Strain to prepare an exhibit for the Chambers of Commerce of Santa Ana and Los Angeles. The secretary was instructed to solicit donations from oil companies operating there and from residents sufficient to erect two miniature oil derricks to be placed with the Fullerton exhibits. It was decided to ask each of the churches to pay $1 a month street lights. Mrs. Roy Adams was appointed collector for the board. A. Kock, W. R. Collis, E. J. Denkle, D. Bastenchury, Jr., Robert Strain, Maurice Ray and E. P. Cutler were elected members. Fritz Yungbluth says the blood-curdling yarn of his narrow STUART CANCELS TRIP Francis Cuttle has received word that U. S. Forester, Major Stuart, has cancelled his western trip on account of illness in his family. It was intended to have a conference between the Forester and parties who objected to the federal government taking water for homesites in the San Bernardino mountains. As this matter has already been decided against the federal government, it is not now so necessary to have the conference. EARLY CITRUS ESTIMATES Early estimates tabulated by Florida publications place the 1928-29 Florida citrus crop at 17 to 20 million boxes. Recent Florida crops have run from 14 million to 21.5 million boxes. Early California crop predictions also point to a large yield figures as high as 28 million boxes for oranges, lemons and grapefruit being given. It is still too early, however, for any of these figures to be accurate forecasts of 1968-29 production.

Fritz Yungbluth says the blood-curdling yarn of his narrow escape from drowning at the Landing on Sunday is made out of whole cloth—and mighty poor cloth at that. He says the day was without excitement, and so some of the bad boys, headed by Frank Dyer, started the story that he had narrowly escaped a wet and watery end. He only went in up to his knees or thereabout and was never in any danger. Fritz's apology is accepted. First Lieutenant Zeus of Company E, who is now in command of the company in the absence of Captain Stern, has issued orders to members of the company relative to the encampment to be held at Coronado Beach August 6-16. The second state shoot will occur at Foothill range on Sunday next. New khaki uniforms and Krag-Jorgensen rifles will be issued at the drill hall tonight. J. S. Hatfield on Monday circulated a petition for signatures, asking the city trustees for a twenty-four-hour electric service for both power and lighting purposes. About fifty business men signed it. Mrs. Dato, an old lady living alone on Emily street north of Cypress, was found lying in her yard Tuesday evening in a paralyzed condition. She was unable to speak. Neighbors carried her into her house and summoned physicians. Her condition is serious. Auditor J. H. Hall has made a compilation of the valuation figures of the county for the current year, which shows the total valuation to be $11,058,935 exclusive of railroads. This is a net gain over last year of $332,515. Charles Allgeyer has constructed 1000 feet of cement sidewalk on his place at Brookshurst. John Schaffer superintended the work which is one of the best cement jobs in the neighborhood. John Matter came in from Murietta the first of the week with a badly injured hand. He was given medical treatment and is improving. The Freise place of 19 acres east of town has been sold to J. R. McLeod of Los Angeles for $3500. The Pacific Electric Railway company is making a survey at Anaheim Landing on its proposed line between Santa Ana and Long Beach, and has applied to the sixteen local residents who hold 160-acre mining claims each at the Landing, for a franchise on their property on the south side of the bay. The line will cross the bay near the old wharf on a long bridge, and will run along the bay from that point to Pacific City. The sixteen owners of the land on the south side of the bay will give free rights-of-way provided the electric railway people build the bridge across the bay wide enough for teams and pedestrians to cross. Some time ago it was given out the Santa Ana-Long Beach line would run some distance above Anaheim Landing, but the company in Wednesday evening, 7:30; Prayer meeting at Bible study; Thursday evening, 7:40; Choir rehearsal.

Some time ago it was given out the Santa Ana-Long Beach line would run some distance above Anaheim Landing, but the company intends to run direct through the old Landing grounds if given the right-of-way. The line will follow the ocean some distance north of the Landing before it makes a slight curve toward Long Beach. Willis Mitchell, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell, is visiting relatives here this week. He is now practicing law in San Francisco. L. Johnson will build a 150,000-gallon cement reservoir for P.
