IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Cities. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 16, 1878 The Fairview Sunday school held its annual election last Sunday, choosing the following list of officers for the ensuing year: Superintendent, B. F. Kellogg; secretary and treasurer, Frank P. Marsh; librarian, Irwin Kellogg; organist, Mrs. M. E. Evans. The secretary reported a total attendance for the year of 1254, an average of 24 each Sabbath, the school having held a session every Sabbath during the year. The treasurer reported a balance in the treasury of $8.50. We are indebted to Mr. W. E. Taylor of Silverado for valuable additions to our collection of ore specimens. An especially fine specimen is from Greyback mine. Mr. Taylor has run a tunnel 25 feet in this mine and has a 4½-foot vein of exceedingly rich ore. The formation is more solid and the walls are better defined on the Greyback lode than on any other in the district. The ore, too, shows black sulphurets, and in this respect is not dissimilar to the ore of the famous Consolidated Virginia. After the fire last night, J. C. Langendorfer was taken violently ill and was for a time quite delicious with pain. He was attended at his room in the Planters' Hotel by Mrs. Dr. Higgins. It is probable that his illness was brought about by getting wet while assisting at putting out the fire. He hope by the time this reaches the public that he will have recovered. At half past 6 o'clock last evening A fire was discovered in Dr. Higgins' stable on Lemon street. This stable was nearly filled After the fire last night, J. C. Langendorfer was taken violently ill and was for a time quite delicious with pain. He was attended at his room in the Planters' hotel by Mrs. Dr. Higgins. It is probable that his illness was brought about by getting wet while assisting at putting out the fire. He hope by the time this reaches the public that he will have recovered. At half past 6 o'clock last evening A fire was discovered in Dr. Higgins' stable on Lemon street. This stable was nearly filled with hay and in a fewr minutes after the alarm was given it was one mass of flames. The horses, buggy and harness were saved and the loss comprises four tons of hay. The stable in which it was stored, and a few dollars' damage to the adjoining stable and fence. Dr. Higgins estimates his loss at one hundred dollars. No insurance. Very fortunately a large number of people were within a stone's throw of the burnt building when the alarm was given, as it was mail time and the usual throng was at the postoffice. But little wind was stirring, and to the favoring circumstances is due the fact that the fire did not spread. Within ten feet of the burnt stable was a large barn, completely filled with hay, and nothing but the greatest good fortune and hard work saved it from destruction. It caught fire several times, but the desperate energy of the firemen and citizens prevailed over the flames. Had this barn also caught, nothing on earth could have saved the adjoining dwelling houses. The great scarcity of water had again to be contended with last night. Not only had it to be brought from a distance, but the carriers had an agonizing wait while the tiny stream dribbled into their buckets. As to the origin of the flames, Dr. Higgins is emphatically of the opinion that it was a case of incendiarism. Appearances indicated that something combustible had been thrown into the open door of the stable. It is not true, as was rumored last night, that any one of the family had been in the stable with a light just previous to the discovery of the flames. The Doctor's son was preparing to go to the stable when the alarm was given. Mr. Andersen, the superintendent of the Anaheim Tannery, has written to the Department of Agriculture at Washington for seeds of the Sicily surmas, which he proposes to give a thorough test. Sumas grow in dry, barren soil, brings a high price, and will yield a heavy revenue to the cultivator. Citizens of the Anaheim school district are reminded that the school tax becomes delinquent on the 2nd st., inst. The tax is only 20 cents on the $100 and there is no excuse for allowing it to become delinquent. There was a quiet little party at the residence of J. S. Gordon Friday evening, given in honor of Miss Carrie Seibert, who is visiting here from Anaheim.—San Diego News, Nov. 10, 1878. H. Oldfield and wife of San Francisco are stopping at the Planters' hotel. It is said that they strongly prefer Anaheim to any other town in Southern California, and they may settle here permanently. The family of W. A. Witte arrived in town from St. Louis on Monday night. F. A. Korn some days ago sent to Arizona for a few seeds of the Macquite. His order was interrupted liberally as he has H. Oldfield and wife of San Francisco are stopping at the Planters' hotel. It is said that they strongly prefer Anaheim to any other town in Southern California, and they may settle here permanently. The family of W. A. Witte arrived in town from St. Louis on Monday night. F. A. Korn some days ago sent to Arizona for a few seeds of the Mesquite. His order was interpreted liberally as he has received a whole sack full. He will be very glad to furnish the seed of this tree to anyone who desired to plant the same. The great wine-dealing house of B. Dreyfus & Co. has just sent forty thousand gallons of Port wine to Philadelphia to fill an order received from a firm in that city. The Los Angeles Herald is informed by a gentleman interested in the venture that a narrow gauge railroad from Los Angeles to Santa Monica is an assured fact. At the close of the lecture on Wednesday evening Rev. E. Halliday signified his acceptance of the call which the Presbyterian church had unanimously tendered him, and made some suggestions as to the best means of making the united life and labors of pastor and people a blassing to themselves and to the community. Thomas B. Jackson, a brother of County Surveyor J. E. Jackson, was found dead in a corridor of Temple block, Los Angeles, yesterday morning. His death was caused by cerebran apoplexy. A very elegantly located house and lot is offered for sale or rent by Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Co. The purchaser will make a decided bargain. Mr. Hippolyte Cohen yesterday received an elegant lot of woolen goods, fancy goods, hose, embroideries, etc. Some of the embroideries are simply exquisite and the ladies will be particularly pleased with them. Mrs. Flora Brown invites the ladies to visit her millinery establishment, where she has a fine assortment of new styles of winter hats and many novelties in the millinery lines. 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 NOVEMBER 12, 1903 The board of city trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present: Trustees Schneider, Rust and Fletcher. Marshall Steadman reported the following collections: For water, $266.10; license, $455; lights, $468.46; total, $1189.56. Committee on public improvements reported that water connections had been made with Mrs. Lamme's cottages on West Center street and at William Johnson's place on Los Angeles street; that 150 feet of ¼-inch pipe had been laid in South Palm street and water connection had been made for R. Eleralde; that the houses of the following persons had been wired for electric light: J. F. Ahlborn, August Backs, F. Bauungardt, Pacific Lodging house, Federman's Store, C. E. Kleiner; that some new meters had been installed, and that the city teams were hauling gravel and filling chuck holes. The matter of petition of property owners on North Los Angeles street for cement sidewalks was referred to finance committee with instructions to request the property owners to give deed for a strip of land 10 feet in width for sidewalk purposes. Superintendent Lewis reported that McWilliams & Dunn, contractors for putting up the new tank, have performed their work satisfactorily. Petition of Mrs. Conrad for an arc light near her brewery. The matter will receive attention as soon as the city can procure poles. Petition of Aug. Backs for permission to remove two houses to new locations was granted, provided he complies with the ordinance governing house moving. The engineer was empowered to purchase a new boiler tube cleaner. New License Plates Ready Dec. 15th Will Be Distributed From All the Branches The 1929 California automobile license plates will be available for general distribution at all branch offices of the Division of Motor Vehicles on December 15th. This announcement was made today by Frank G. Snook, chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles, who explained that the experiment conducted last year of opening the registration period two weeks earlier had proven so successful that it had been decided to make it a permanent arrangement. Snook said that although the law does not require motorists to display the new plates until after the first of the year, the earlier opening will eliminate a large part of the "rush" of former years as well as enable the division to give the motoring public a quicker and better service at reduced cost. The machinery of the division is now being set in motion to register nearly 2,000,000 motor vehicles. Five carloads of the new plates have already arrived in Sacramento from the factories of the Norton Manufacturing Company and are being prepared for distribution. The office counters at Sacramento and in branches at Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego and Freeso will be thrown open on December 15th. However, those desirous of avoiding the necessity of making a special trip to these offices for new plates may mail their fees to the Division of Motor Vehicles at Sacramento any time after December 1st. The plates will be mailed out promptly after the 15th. It is entirely unnecessary to make a special trip for the plates. Although the new plates will be larger, heavier and will have a much greater degree of visibility because of the new system of lettering adopted for 1929, the fee schedules for pleasure cars will remain the same as in previous years. The fee for the ordinary passenger geles street for cement sidewalks was referred to finance committee with instructions to request the property owners to give deed for a strip of land 10 feet in width for sidewalk purposes. Superintendent Lewis reported that McWilliams & Dunn, contractors for putting up the new tank, have performed their work satisfactorily. Petition of Mrs. Conrad for an arc light near her brewery. The matter will receive attention as soon as the city can procure poles. Petition of Aug. Backs for permission to remove two houses to new locations was granted, provided he complies with the ordinance governing house moving. The engineer was empowered to purchase a new boiler tube cleaner. Marshal Steadman reported the resignation of Night Watchman Bentz. No action was taken in the matter of appointing a successor. The clerk was instructed to advertise for proposals to furnish the city with four or five carloads of oil for road sprinkling purposes. Joseph Helmsen was the holder of the lucky number which won the handsome shell frame raffled by Mrs. Hatfield some days ago. The frame is an artistic creation, an ornament for anyone's parlor. It is the first thing the landlord has won in 25 years. The frame has a conspicuous position in the landlord's domicile, and has many pleasant words said of it by those who look upon it. Louis Gustofson was in town this week looking up figures of rainfall for the past 25 years. He believes in the theory that a cycle of weather extends through a period of 19 years, the moon being in precisely the same position relative to the earth once in that length of time. Cal F. Woods, who was some months ago appointed to a position with the Southern Pacific at Indio, has been promoted to a responsible position at River Station, Los Angeles. Cal is a bright boy, and will be president of the road some of these days. Mr. Spake has purchased the Broadway residence of Henry Hussman for a consideration of $2000. Mr. Spake is a firm believer in the future of the city, and attests his faith by making liberal investments. The residence just purchased by him will be occupied by his sister, who will arrive shortly from the East to make her permanent home in Anaheim. Miss E. A. Hershman, formerly of Pittsburg, who last spring bought the home place of E. W. McCullom, has returned from the East and taken possession of the property. The trial of Ellsworth Bevens for dispensing liquors at the Santa Ana Social club in violation of the city ordinance, resulted in his acquittal by a jury. Otto Mandel, the star witness of the prosecution, who became a member of the club as a paid detective of the Anti-Saloon league, failed to put in his appearance and as no further evidence was offered by either prosecution or defense, the case was submitted after brief arguments by City Attorney Heathman and Earl Rogers. The jury returned a verdict not guilty. Hon. J. W. Towner, formerly superior judge of Orange county, and O. W. Robbins were over from Santa Ana Monday on a business mission and shaking hands with old acquaintances. Contraband Chinese are said to be again coming in from across the Mexican border. Last Saturday City Marshal Trotter of Oceanside was in Orange county on the trail of a party of 12 Highway District For New Road Preliminary steps for the formation of a joint county highway district to supply a direct road connection between Elsinore in Riverside county and San Juan Capitano in Orange county, were taken recently, according to Ben Blow, field secretary of the National Automobile club. This proposed highway will supply the only road connection through the coast range for a distance of 70 miles between Oceanside and Santa Ana canyon, and according to Nat. H. Neff, superintendent of highways in Orange county, only about 15 miles of new road construction will be necessary to connect up existing lines. The highest elevation to be crossed is about 2700 feet and no grade greater than 6% will be required except in a few short stretches where a maximum of 7% will not be exceeded. Under the plan adopted the Riverside board of supervisors has appropriated not to exceed $5000.00 for survey expenses which will be matched by a sum approximating $10,000.00 by Orange county. The proposed joint highway district plan will be financed by Orange county, Riverside county, the State of California and possibly the United States through forest road money as the proposed line runs through the Cleveland National forest. When completed, this new Southern California road connection will supply a short cut to Lake Elsinore from Los Angeles and the beach cities and will afford a direct road to the ocean from Hemet and San Jacinto. Mildew stains on fabrics when very fresh, may sometimes be washed out with soap and water, or bleached in the sun. The growth of mildew is at first on the surface of materials that have been allowed to become damp, but in a short time these molds penetrate the fibre and injure it, and are almost impossible to eradicate. Soaking the stains in sour milk overnight and placing in the sun without rinsing, will sometimes re-occur. Hon. J. W. Towner, formerly superior judge of Orange county, and O. W. Robbins were over from Santa Ana Monday on a business mission and shaking hands with old acquaintances. Contraband Chinese are said to be again coming in from across the Mexican border. Last Saturday City Marshal Trotter of Oceanside was in Orange county on the trail of a party of 12 said to have been brought across near San Diego and taken through Temecula, Elsinore and Corona, heading this way. It was thought the Chinese were intended for the celery fields near Smeltzer, but as no trace of them could be found there it has been decided that they were taken to Los Angeles. Marshal Trotter says a great many Chinese are coming across the line, but the smuggling is done so smoothly it is almost impossible to catch the men engaged in it and in consequence few arrests are made. County cash for the beginning of this month, according to official count is $47,918.39. A month ago it was $70,970.04, showing a marked decrease. Work was begun this week upon a town hall for El Toro, the building to be situated upon the hill back of the store and above the depot. The edifice is to cost $1000 and will be put up by H. H. Roper of Santa Ana. The progressive inhabitants of El Toro plan the hall as an accommodation for their public meetings and gatherings of a more purely social nature. The citizens of the town will subscribe funds upon a joint stock co-operative plan. Joseph Dauser has moved from his country place to his new home on the corner of Center and Palm streets. C. F. Grim and James H. Boney on Saturday sold the cottage recently erected near the lumber yard to Mrs. Libbie S. Johnson, sister of Godfrey Stock, for a consideration of $1500. Miss Rosa Blanchard, daughter of Mrs J. Cassou, left yesterday for San Francisco for a visit to friends. She will be absent two months. Rev. Kohlenberger has purchased of Frank Baum a lot on Hedwig street and will erect a six-room residence. Mildew stains on fabrics when very fresh, may sometimes be washed out with soap and water, or bleached in the sun. The growth of mildew is at first on the surface of materials that have been allowed to become damp, but in a short time these molds penetrate the fibre and injure it, and are almost impossible to eradicate. Soaking the stains in sour milk overnight and placing in the sun without rinsing, will sometimes help. Slight stains are sometimes removed by moistening them with lemon juice and salt and placing in the sun. Javelle water, used as a bleach, will take out mildew stains on white cotton or linen, but should never be used on silk or wool. Other chemicals are also used at times. Mildew on shoes should be wiped off as soon as detected, and the shoes washed with soap and warm water, and well dried. Stuff the shoes with soft crumpled paper or dry oats, and dry oats, and dry in a warm, but not hot, place. A stock exchange seat in New York the other day sold for nearly $500,000. It is funny how this mythical prosperity continues to keep up.
