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 17, 1878 Late on Wednesday night the trustees of the Anaheim Water company and the officers of the Cajon Irrigating company came to an understanding in regard to the ditch question. The essence of the agreement is that the Cajon company will give the Anaheim Water company one-third of the flow of the water for $13,000. A meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim company will be held on Tuesday and if a majority of them are in favor of making the purchase on the terms proposed, the bargain will be immediately consummated. Until the meeting shall ratify or reject the proposition, the Cajon company will allow the water to run through their ditch. It is now running into town and is being supplied to those entitled to it. About 1000 inches of water is now passing through the Cajon ditch. Work is going on briskly. 30 white men and 70 Chinamen being employed. Eleven miles of the ditch is completed except a little work on the flumes. Three miles of the ditch yet remain to be finished, but the plow and scraper have been over the most of it. The probabilities are that in three weeks the main ditch will be completed. For these facts we are indebted to Superintendent Gilman. The very pleasing information reached Anaheim on Thursday evening that Judge McNealey had rendered a decision in the case of the Anaheim Water Co. vs. Amos Wright, et al., granting a new trial. The judge will be in Los Angeles on September 4th and will set a day for the hearing of the case. The plaintiff's attorneys, Messrs. Scott and Howard, are sanguine of About 1000 inches of water is now passing through the Cajon ditch. Work is going on briskly. 30 white men and 70 Chinamen being employed. Eleven miles of the ditch is completed except a little work on the flumes. Three miles of the ditch yet remain to be finished, but the plow and scraper have been over the most of it. The probalities are that in three weeks the main ditch will be completed. For these facts we are indebted to Superintendent Gilman.

The judge will be in Los Angeles on September 4th and will set a day for the hearing of the case. The plaintiff's attorneys, Messrs. Scott and Howard, are sanguine of success in the next legal battle. The town trustees held a meeting on Saturday evening. All the members were present except Mr. Boege. The tax levy was fixed at 60 cents on the $100. This will give the town a revenue of $1700. It is estimated that $1000 will pay all the debts which the town owes as well as the running expenses for the year. Half of the remaining $700 will be used in repairing the streets and the other half will be expended on street sprinkling next year. On Wednesday morning at about 9 o'clock a barn on the Kraemer ranch was discovered to be on fire. The barn was filled with hay which had just been hauled from Anaheim, and in a few minutes it had been destroyed. It was only by great efforts that the fire was prevented from communicating with the house occupied by Mr. Jordan and family, which was distant only a few feet from the burning mass. A new wagon was somewhat scorched and one of the workingmen who slept in the barn lost his blankets and clothes. The Garden Grove school commenced on Monday with twenty-five pupils. Mrs. Armor of Orange is teaching in the school house near the store, and Miss Squires is teaching in the southern part of the district. All the threshing machines in the Westminster and Garden Grove sections are in full operation and generally doing good work. The crops are turning out as well as expected and the grain is being hauled to the Landing for shipment to San Francisco. John Fischer, the assessor and collector of this school district, is now making out his assessment list, the law requiring that the same be completed by the first of September. The assessments within the town limits will be taken from the assessment roll as passed by the Board of Equalization. It is pleasant to note that the services of Anaheim mechanics will be utilized in the new school building. Mr. Fesenfelt, the proprietor of the new tin shop, has been awarded the contract for tinning the structure. The job is quite an expensive one. County School Superintendent McDonald has filed his report for the school year ending June 30, 1878. There are 14,389 children between the ages of five and seventeen years in Los Angeles county, divided as follows: Native born, native parents, 10,926; native born, one parent foreign, 939; native born, both parents foreign, 2366; foreign born, 158. Of these 10,371 are white—5231 boys and 5140 girls; 42 negroes—23 boys, 19 girls; 12 mongolians. Of these 5991 have attended school at some time during the year. To be added to the above are 5992 children under five years of age, bringing the grand total up to 20,380.

She was in her 68th year. Mrs. H. S. Evans, teacher in the primary department of the public school, arrived at her home in this city on Saturday after a pleasant visit to the East. The public schools of Anaheim reopened on Monday with one hundred and fifty-one scholars—a very flattering attendance. Mr. Paty brought down yesterday five tons of gold and silver ore from the Florentine mine, Santa Rosa district, for Taylor & Co. of Silverado. J. J. Hill has been appointed agent of the Anaheim and Silverado stage and express line. The Florentine Mining company wants to buy twenty-five burrows immediately. A valuable horse, owned by Payne & Co. of the California Livery stables, died on Sunday after having been driven from Los Angeles. The corner stone of the new school house will be laid on Monday, with ceremonies commensurate with the importance of the occasion. The ceremonies are entrusted to Anaheim Lodge of F. & A. M., and it is probable that they will be assisted by the Odd Fellows lodges, the latter having forwarded a petition for a dispensation to participate, which the Grand Master will doubtless grant. Our neighbors in the country should not fail to visit Anaheim on that day, as the pageant will be quite imposing and well worth witnessing. Later—Since the above was in type, Mr. Reiser has shown us a letter received from Mr. Denker, stating that the Masons of Los Angele sare coming in a body and have secured an excursion train. The letter concludes: "We will make it lively for Anaheim." Come on, McDuff," the more there is of ye the better we will be pleased. DAYS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 13, 1903 George Carroll received a despatch on Monday from his father, who is in Fort Collins, Col., bidding him to come at once to that place in order to superintend the erection of beet dumps contracted for at that point by Mr. Carroll. Contracts have been signed for twenty-six dumps. George left yesterday for Colorado and will be absent during the greater part of the year. An electrical disturbance in the early hours of Sunday morning was productive of more thunder and lightning than has been experienced here this year. The disturbances were due to rain storms in Arizona. The sky was overeast and occasional showers of rain descended. The storm cleared off towards sunup, but there were distant peals of thunder from afar until after noon. No damage.

Peterson has purchased twenty acers of improved vineyard land from Alex Henry at Caledonia Grove and UNIFORM TRAFFIC SIGNALS The national conference on street and highway safety, organized four years ago with Herbert Hoover as chairman, drafted and submitted to various city authorities, a uniform state vehicle ordinance for their consideration. Representatives of 10 national organizations which have supported the work of the conference since its establishment have just completed a revision of this traffic ordinance, which will again be submitted to the cities of the nation. The last details provide for tri-color arrangement of green, amber and red lights as being the most desirable. A two-color system of green and red lights was the other alternative. Right-of-way at crossings for pedestrians except where traffic is being directed by policemen is proposed in the ordinance. Passing street cars on the left except in one-way streets or under special conditions is forbidden. Leading zones for passengers or traffic would be required. Overloading of the driver's seat with passengers, and obstructing the view, are banned. Co-operation is expected from the Automobile association, American Electric Railway association, American Mutual Alliance, American Railway association, Chamber of Commerce of the United States, National Association of Taxicab Owners, National Chamber of Commerce, National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, National Research Council and the National Safety Council.
