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 NOVEMBER 2, 1878 The Literary society met on Thursday as usual. Messrs. Des Granges and Fish rendered declarations in fine style. The question, Resolved, That voting should be compulsory, was discussed in the affirmative by Messrs. Montgomery, Wylie and Hanna, and in the negative by Messrs. Guinn and Cahill. The judges of the debate, Mrs. Flora Brown, Miss Bremerman and P. C. McKinnie, gave their decision in favor of the negative. The Rev. Halliday made a short address in which he promised to exert himself to forward the interests of the society, if he should settle here permanently. The question for debate at the next meeting is Resolved, That a local option clause should be inserted in the constitution. Affirmative. Wylie, Grimshaw and McKinnie; negative, Henderson, Mendelson and Payne. Declamations by Leonard and Cahill. The secretary of the Anaheim Water company gives notice to all who desire to purchase stock in the company can find the books at his office in the Planters' hotel. A delay in buying stock may be productive of serious consequences. Only two thousand shares are to be sold and we are told that fifteen hundred are already taken.

Messrs. Culter and Parker of Westminster are building a buckboard for Mr. Cowan of this place, which posses many novel points. The running gear is all iron, and while strength and solidity are thus gained, it is not at the expense of weight. A wagon of the same strength, made after the usual model, would weigh nearly twice as much as this one. It was designed by Mr. Culter, a gentleman who seems to have the faculty of getting out of the beaten rut of things and originating improvements. These buckboards can be sold very cheap, and the Messrs. Culter and Parker can turn them out on short notice. Important changes have been made in the shipping business at Wilmington anchorage. Phineas Banning has purchased the barges and steamers of the S. P. R. R. Co. and will hereafter assume entire control of such business. The McFadden Bros. have sold the steamer Newport to the Pacific Coast Steamship company, the latter agreeing to fulfill all existing contracts. Among these contracts is one by which a number of farmers are to have their grain taken from Newport Harbor to San Francisco for $4 per ton for a period of two years. The McFaddens are said to have lost about $6000 in their efforts to compete with the larger concern. The advertisement this morning of the Firemen's ball to be given on Thanksgiving Eve, impresses us that even if they do not possess the champion runners of the county they have the material at least for "the ball of the season." Although of late we have had some fashionable balls, it is easy to see that this one will pass them hard. The gentlemen of the committee are determined upon mangaing this ball in a manner to secure for it such a pleasant remembrance as that which followed their long-to-be-remembered picnic in September. They will so manage the festivities as to lead us to predict a tremendous success. Following is the advertisement: FIRST GRAND BALL and SUPPER of the Anaheim Fire Department at Kroeger's Hall, Anaheim on Thanksgiving Evening Thursday, November 28, 1878 The members of the Anaheim Fire Department take pleasure in announcing this, their first ball and supper, and in proffering the public an evening of genuine sociability and good order, can assure them that nothing will be spared to the end of making this the event of the season.

Notice—We, the undersigned trustees of the Anaheim Water company, hereby call a special general meeting of the stockholders of said company for the purpose of raising the capital stock of said company. Said meeting will be held on Saturday, the 9th day of November, 1878, at 3 o'clock p.m., in the Town hall, in the town of Anaheim, California, at which meeting it is proposed to increase the capital stock of said company from $50,000 to $90,-000. Anaheim, October 9th, 1878. Theodore Reiser, president; Theodore Rimpau, vice-president; F. A. Korn, treasurer; John Fischer, secretary; A. Langenberger, trustees Anaheim Water Co. M. J. Snodgrass received a letter on Monday from John Taylor, conveying the information of his and Mrs. Taylor's safe arrival in Arkansas. "Uncle John" thinks of locating in Texacana, a thriving railroad town in that state. Its rather peculiar name is a combination of syllables from the names Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana. Edward Knell, aged 15, was drowned in the reservoir of the Canal and Reservoir Co., in Los Angeles on Friday. He, with two companions, was paddling a boat about the reservoir, when it capsized. The two other boys, being able to swim, saved themselves, Claude S. of Fullerton relative in the $5000.

The finance committee reported in favor of payment of bills aggregating $42.21, and they were ordered paid. Committee on public improvements reported that gravel for the streets was still being hauled by city teams. H. A. Dickel offered to furnish aluminum house numbers for four cents a piece. The offer was accepted and 1060 numbers were ordered to be purchased. Petition of property owners on North Los Angeles street, between Cypress and Sycamore streets, for the city to build a cement curb and gravel sidewalk in consideration of the deeding by the petitioners of eight feet off and for sidewalk purposes, was received. Action on the petition was deferred until next meeting. Mr. Burdrow reported that the city could procure from the Anaheim Union Water company gravel of good quality for the streets, as it was impossible to procure gravel from the land of Mr. Hellman as heretofore. Mr. Rust moved that the minimum rate for electric light be fixed at $1 per month. The motion was carried. Mr. Schneider suggested that the ordinance committee prepare an ordinance defining the duties of the clerk and marshal and fixing their compensation; also providing that the water and light rates be collected by the clerk, and that consumers be required to call at the clerk's office monthly and settle their bills. This week's hunt of the Santiago Fox club in the Santiago Women Are Active In the Campaign One-Day Conference to Be Held October 30 Women active in the Republican party are looking forward to the 1928 convention of the Republican Women's Federation of California, Southern Division, according to the many requests for information that are flooding the local Hoover headquarters at the Alexandria hotel. October 30 is the date for this one-day conference of the year, and the Alexandria hotel is the place of meeting, according to the call issued from the executive board to the more than 1000 members in the ten southern counties. Election of Federation officers comes at this time and much whispering has been heard regarding possible changes in the incumbents. Mrs. O. P. Clark, state president, retains her office by virtue of her re-election as Republican National committee-woman from California. The terms of the other officers expire by limitation this year. Mrs. J. A. Rominger, chairwoman of the nominating committee, announces that the nominating ticket is prepared and will be made public later. Present officers, beside Mrs. Clark, are: Mrs. Ida Koverman, state secretary; Mrs. Florence Collins Porter, president Southern Division; Mrs. W. F. Evans, vice-president; Mrs. C. F. Van de Water, vice-president; Mrs. Howard C. Dunham, vice-president; Mrs. F. A. Kellogg, recording secretary; Mrs. E. C. Magauran, corresponding secretary; Mrs. R. F. Garner, treasurer; Nellie E.

This week's hunt of the Santiago Fox club in the Santiago canyon was one of the most successful ever held. On Thursday evening a barbecue was enjoyed at the picnic grounds and dancing indulged in during the evening. A brief business meeting was also held at which new members were admitted. Next morning the dogs were turned loose and succeeded in bringing a wild cat to bay above the golf grounds. Later the pack was organized to hunt coyotes, and although seven were started up in a single canyon, not one was captured. Mme. Modjeska and Count Bozenta, her husband, were guests of honor at the fete. Sheriff White of Los Angeles was among the visitors from outside points. Officers of the library board have been elected for the coming year as follows: A. W. Maxwell, president; Miss E. Kate Rae, vice-president; Miss Carrie E. Roberts, secretary. Alex Henry went to Los Angeles the fore part of the week to confer with Mr. Fay of the Fruit Exchange relative to erecting a new packing house here. Mr. Henry states that probably a new packing house will be built, the site being near the corner of Lemon and Santa Ana streets. Joseph Helmsen has received notification of the coming publication of the Los Angeles Examiner, W. R. Hearst's new paper, soon to make its appearance in that city. The first issue will appear the latter part of November or the beginning of December. The new candidate for public favor will be in typographical appearance the counterpart of its San Francisco namesake and will have the colored supplement and other features. Fritz Yungbluth and Hugh Smith went hunting for quail on Sunday in the hills beyond Peralta and bagged the limit—we don't think. The boys found the birds few and far between, but the sport was exhilerating while it lasted. Frank Dyer, having returned from his camping outing at the beach, has settled down to business again with the razor and strop. Tuesday evening he broke away again and went to Los Angeles to attend the McVey-Johnson soiree: Claude Stough of this city and his sister, Mrs. Arthur Porter, of Fullerton, have received intelligence that by the death of a relative in the East each has been left a bequest in amount of $5000. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Stough, parents of the young people, live in town. Mr. Stough, the father, was nearly five years ago stricken with paralysis and his condition latterly has been such as to afford little if any hope of recovery. Miss Olga Zeus entertained at cards on Tuesday evening in honor of Jessie Melrose and Fred Backs, who are to be married on Wednesday. Screaning Streams To Corral Fish Much progress is being made in the program of having streams and ditches screened to prevent fish from being diverted to irrigated lands and other places where they are lost to the angler, and the efforts being made to have fish ladders installed to allow passage of fish over dams. These facts are made known to the people of California in the biennial report of John Spencer, director of the bureau of hydraulics of the Division of Fish and Game, which will soon be ready for distribution' by the state printer. Screens prevent fish from being lost, fish ladders permit the fish to take their natural course enroute to the spawning areas upstream and both are essential to the maintaining of a supply of fish in the streams, it is contended in Spencer's report. Spencer also calls attention to the great amount of work done at the suggestion of the Fish and Game Division in the prevention of pollution, particularly by operating the manufacturing departments of the many oil companies in California. Oil waste is dead ly to fish life, but in the majority of instances where the hydraulic bureau has investigated it has not been necessary to start legal action. In some cases the courts have been resorted to, and a recent decision of Judge Yankwich of Los Angeles county, forced about 50 oil companies to clean up their property to prevent oil waste from polluting the Pacific Ocean by being allowed to run into natural drainage channels. Navy Celebration At Newport Beach With three world's record-holding hydroplanes and two National champions included in the entry list of more than thirty boats from both Northern and Southern California, the speed-coat regatta scheduled as part of the Navy Day celebration October 28 at Newport Beach bids to be the fastest and most spectacular yet staged on Newport Bay. The races will mark the opening of the Southern California Otuboard as Claude Stough of this city and his sister, Mrs. Arthur Porter, of Fullerton, have received intelligence that by the death of a relative in the East each has been left a bequest in amount of $5000. Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Stough, parents of the young people, live in town. Mr. Stough, the father, was nearly five years ago stricken with paralysis and his condition latterly has been such as to afford little if any hope of recovery. Miss Olga Zeus entertained at cards on Tuesday evening in honor of Jessie Melrose and Fred Backs, who are to be married on Wednesday. Miss Anne Everhardy entertained a few guests on Thursday in honor of the same popular young couple. The marriage of Neill E. Bailey of Naco, A. T., to Miss Gertrude von Gundell of Savannah, Ga., occurs on November 10. Invitations to the wedding have been received by friends here. Miss Zelma Bailey, of Phoenix, A. T., will accompany her brother to Savannah and will act as bridesmaid on the happy occasion. Friends in Anaheim send greetings and extend felicitations. Announcement has been received here from Herr Carl Pamperl of Graz, Austria, of the marriage of his daughter, Miss Marilina Pamperl, who is well known here, to Dr. Otto Ingruber of that city. A. Nagel returned some days ago from Stockton, where he attended the high court of the Foresters as delegate from the local court. St. Michael's Episcopal church has been repainted without and varnished within. New steps have also been constructed leading into the main entrance and the congregation promises to erect a neat fence around the sacred edifice in the near future. The Olinda Oil Well nine defeated Santa Ana on the local diamond on Sunday afternoon by a score of 11 to 4. A crowd estimated at 1500 witnessed the game. W. B. Pittman of Borromeo, who was threatened with appendicitis, has been able to leave the Fullerton hospital and return to his home. S. O. Walker of Buena Park is in San Francisco attending the Masonic Grand Lodge as delegate from the newly-organized lodge at the Park. Navy Celebration At Newport Beach With three world's record-holding hydroplanes and two National champions included in the entry list of more than thirty boats from both Northern and Southern California, the speedboat regatta scheduled as part of the Navy Day celebration October 28 at Newport Beach bids to be the fastest and most spectacular yet staged on Newport Bay. The races will mark the opening of the Southern California Otuboard association's winter series and have been sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association. A. L. Bobrick acting as chief judge will officially represent the National association while Commodore O. K. Hunsaker of the S. C. O. A will officiate as starter. Seventeen fine trophies have been posted by the Newport Harbor Chamber of Commerce. Among the large fleet of starters will be Fire Fly 111, the boat that Charles Holt sent over the mile at the rate of 38.61 miles per hour for a new world's record for this class of racing craft. Flying Scotchman, David Mackay's ten-mile record holder, and Miss Elsinore, the five-mile champion, are also listed. Miss Loretta Turnbull, champion girl pilot of the Pacific coast, will drive Hezytate, while Al Thompson, one of the outstanding pilots, will be mounted in a new craft. Hunsaker's Oh Kay and Kay Oh, the pair of fast hydros that cleaned up the field at International Harmaworth trophy races in Detroit last month, have been signed up. The program will consist of ten races starting at 1 o'clock. 647,710 Hundred Oranges 1927 Exports For Brazil A Department of Commerce report states that Brazil exported 647,710 hundred oranges in 1927, which figure is about the average for the past few years. The ordinary container is a bag of 100 oranges. London jazz stirs the Polish peasantry, says a headline in the New York Times. We are glad to know that British jazz has at last become stirring. Anaheim, Calif., Oct. 25, 1928 German Consumers Prefer Calif. Oranges In a report to the Department of Commerce, German Consul Leslie E. Reed, located at Bremen, states that Bremen is a good market and a well-equipped distributing point for more California oranges. He reports Bremen importers well disposed toward increased California orange business. Regular shipments are desired and importers would like to do some advertising, sharing the expense with shippers. Imports of Spanish oranges during 1927 amounted to 440,000 boxes and imports of Italian oranges totaled 3600 boxes. South African oranges reach Bremen occasionally; 1000 boxes were imported in 1926 and 3000 boxes in 1927. Small quantities of oranges also reach Bremen from Brazil, and there are possibilities of an increase in such shipments. "Despite the fact that over $1,000,000 worth of oranges a year are imported into Bremen, good oranges can rarely be obtained outside of the period when the best oranges from Spain and Italy are received. Neither Spanish nor Italian oranges are considered so desirable as the small quantities of California oranges reaching Bremen," says Mr. Reed. During the summer of 1927, 1000 boxes of California Valencia oranges were imported into Bremen at a quotation of $5.47 c. i. f. Bremen. The duty amounted to 2.5 marks per 100 kilots (or 27c per box per cwt.)—practically 19c on each 70-pound box of oranges). Adding local handling charges, inland freight, and wholesale and retail profits, final cost amounted to $8.57 a box (200 oranges). These oranges would have to be sold at retail at a minimum of 20 fernings (56) each. California Navels arriving during the winter, had a final cost of $56 ($1.00 more than the Valencias, with a resultant minimum price of 25 pfernings (6e) each. Spanish oranges were selling at 2e each. The heaviest consumption of California oranges is during the winter months as the Germans do not generally eat oranges during the summer because of the availability of various other fresh fruits. It is Mr. Reed's belief, however, that the good quality of California oranges would soon create a year round demand. VOTING PRECINCTS There will be 9088 precincts at the November election. Charles J. Hagerty, deputy secretary of state, announced. Los Angeles county will have the largest number of voting units, with 2711 allotted. San Francisco comes next with 1002 while Alameda county is third with 708. Other leading counties will have: San Diego; 312; San Bernardino; 257; Sacramento; 243; Santa Clara; 231; Presno; 329; San Joaquin; 194; Kern; 187; Orange; 174; San Mateo; 172; Solano; 142; Toluca; 140; Riverside; 137; Coura Coga; 136; Butte; 119; Stanislaus; 111; and Humboldt; 195. Here's something to ponder over. They say that the silent vote is bigger this year than ever, and also that the woman vote is going to be larger. How do you work that out? Modern fashion has done one thing for the timid man. You never hear anyone nowadays accusing him of hiding behind his wife's skirts. Let Us Supply The LUMBER FOR YOUR HOME!
