IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cajon Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 23, 1878 Saturday last was a day of rejoicing. Nearly, if not quite, a thousand persons gathered at Flume No. 8, seven miles from Anaheim to celebrate the completion of the great Cajon ditch. All sorts of people in all sorts of conveyances, and from all sorts of places. Every face bore that intense look of satisfaction born of a triumph over difficulties and obstacles. Beside the flume two long tables had been made and at noon these tables had been covered by a perfect avalanche of toothsome viands. For four and twenty hours previous a huge ox and several sheep and hogs had been slowly cooking, barbecue fashion, and now the chefs pronounced them "done to a turn"—which was the signal for the guests to commence the work of destruction. A large platform, screened from the rays of the sun by a roof of willows, and furnished with an abundance of seats, had been made directly in front of the speaker's stand. After dinner the seats on this platform were occupied by the multitude, who, having satiated the cravings of their physical system, were prepared to receive the mental repast which the literary committee had in store for them. W. M. McFadden called the audience to order and hade them welcome. He then read a letter from J. W. Shanklin, president of the Cajon Irrigation company, who was unable to be present. Mr. McFadden then gave a brief history of the Cajon ditch, after which he introduced Stephen M. White, Esq., of Los Angeles, as the orator of the day. Theodore Lymill, Esq., followed with a short address. Mr. Pio Davila next made a few A large platform, screened from the rays of the sun by a roof of willows, and furnished with an abundance of seats, had been made directly in front of the speaker's stand.

Theodore Lymill, Esq., followed with a short address. Mr. Pio Davila next made a few remarks in Spanish, after which M. L. Wicks, Esq., was introduced as one of the seven who originated the Cajon Irrigation company. This closed the literary exercises and about 2:30 p.m. the platform was cleared for dancing, which was kept up until evening. On a recent Sunday the Rev. Mr. Trew referred to the financial condition of St. Michael's church. On his arrival here Nov. 17th, 1877, he was informed that the debt on the building was $490, with interest which would swell the amount at the present time to $580. The debt, however, is now only $418. In other words all current expenses have been met, the interest has been paid, and the principal reduced by $72. Considering the great depression of the past year, and that no special efforts were made, the statement is an encouraging one and "a hearty pull all together" ought to clear away the remaining debt. The following Grand Jury was impaneled in the County Court on Monday: James Foord, foreman; M. L. Gilman, S. Sontag, F. L. Floyd, Josiah McCoy, J. C. Brown, Sidney Smith, H. Mennstine Chas. McDowell, A. Millie, T. C. Dyer, F. M. Trapp, H. D. Barrows; H. C. Graham, G. H. Pike, Wm. Foster, M. Devine. A large tea rose, which for more than half a score of years, has been the pride and glory of Mr. Hartung's garden, succumbed to disease this season and on Saturday was cut down. It was an immense bush fully eighteen feet high, and at all seasons of the year was covered with a wealth of roses. G. H. Kellogg arrived in Anaheim on Sunday evening after an absence of five months in Humboldt county. He has leased his farm in that county and proposes to become a permanent citizen of Anaheim. At a late hour last night information reached us of the death of Mrs. Sophie Gunther, the wife of our esteemed friend, Lorenz Gunther. Mrs. Gunther has been for a long time a sufferer from heart disease and lately no hopes have been entertained for her recovery. She was aged 50 years. The bereaved husband has the sympathy of the community in his affliction. The frost of last Sunday night was very severe in Westminster and vicinity, and the potato crop suffered somewhat. It is said that in Los Nietos region also the frost did considerable damage.

A great number of people attended services in the new church at Garden Grove on last Sunday. The announcement was made that a debt of $225 hung over the church and the congregation was appealed to for subscriptions to wipe out the debt. After some earnest talk the amount was all subscribed. One hundred dollars was raised in $25 subscriptions; $100 in $10 subscriptions and the balance in sums of one dollar and upwards. J. W. Bixley of Los Alamitos was a visitor to our office on Tuesday. He informs us that he has this year rented to farmers 3000 acres of that rancho and that applications for land are quite numerous. On Wednesday the Anaheim Water company negotiated a loan of $12,000 from the Commercial Bank of Los Angeles. This money is to be paid to the Cajon Irrigation company as part compensation for a half interest in the ditch. A number of turkeys will be raffled for at Martin Classen's saloon on Tuesday evening. The contestants will have the option of rolling tenpins or playing any other game they desire. Dr. H. Head, late of Tennessee, has bought from G. M. Teel, a farm of 50 acres in Garden Grove.

On Wednesday last a barn on Mr. Botan's farm east of town was destroyed by fire. Some stubble and weeds in an adjoining lot had been set on fire, and some time after they had been burned smoke was seen issuing from the barn. As it was filled with hay it was impossible to do anything but prevent the flames from spreading.

Everyone is cordially invited to the service. On the field tour a caravan of 150 automobiles passed through the foothill avocado and citrus section of Marcy Heights and Lemon Heights, thence through the Jevne Ranch to the holdings of the San Joaquin Fruit company, which is reputed to have the largest planting of avocados in California under one management. The members of the party were much interested in a seven-acre block of fifteen-year-old Taft trees on thirs ranch. Although planted thirty feet apart each way, these 15-year-old trees are overlapping. For varieties making growth like the Taft, more than thirty feet will be required for satisfactory spacing, according to C.V.Newman, manager of the ranch. He told the visitors that in his opinion forty-five to fifty feet is none too great for proper spacing under such circumstances. Mr.Newman stated that cultivation in the old Tafts had been discontinued two years ago because of the mass of roots that were destroyed every time the cultivator was used.Permanent ridges and basins have been constructed for irrigation.These are usually filled with leaves and organic matter so that almost a permanent mulch is maintained.Since cultivation has stopped extra vigorous growth has been very noticeable on the trees he said.explaining the irrigation practice in the old avocados.Mr.Newman said about 30 to 36 acres are used annually.Because of greater leaf surface,the avocado tree requires somewhat more moisture than citrus,他 pointed out. E.E.Knight of Yorba Linda,veteran avocado grower,said that his experience has definitely shown that the soil should "reasonably dry out" between irrigations allowing a fluctuation of moisture during the intervening period.His observations he said,had convinced him that it is a mistake to keep the ground uniformly wet through the season. A block of five-year-old Pueblas and Fuertes interest with citrus was another interesting feature of the San Joaquin Fruit company holdings.The avocados here are set 48 feet apart with the citrus set at 24-foot intervals.Mr.Newman said that the 48-foot spacing is justified on the basis of experience with the older plantings that were now overlapping at 30 feet.He said that in fire or twenty years the avocados would require the wider spacing. At this ranch the visitors also viewed one of the most complete windbreak systems in California.The San Joaquin Fruit planting of about 2000 acres is completely chequered with windbreaks.The first ones were set 450 feet apart,the later plantings，660 feet apart.The latter were found to be too far apart to give uniform protection to the intervening orchards so intermediate breaks were set midway between，on 330-foot lines. Farm Advisor Wahlberg reviewed the windbreak investigations made by his department during the past eight years.The blue gum eucalyptus，according to his survey，is the best windbreak tree for the coastal area because of its rapid George A. Hunter, who has charge of the association's packing house at Loara, dipped the last walnuts of this season yesterday. The season's shipments total up 10 carloads, against 21 last year.

Everyone is cordially invited to the service. Lee Myers of Los Angeles, and Miss Mettie Hansen were married at the home of the bride's mother in Placentia at noon on Wednesday in the presence of over fifty guests. Rev. F. R. Holcomb officiated. The parlors were tastefully decorated under the supervision of Mrs. Christina Hansen. A wedding dinner was served after which Mr. and Mrs. Myers left for Santa Barbara to spend their honeymoon. They were the recipients of many beautiful presents. Upon their return the young couple will reside in Los Angeles. C. C. Wagner of Wagner Bros. of Placentia, marketed through the California Citrus Union 1807 packed boxes of late Valencia oranges, gathered from 2½ acres between October 2 and 10, which brought him a net sum of $1000 per acre. This is one of the best sales of oranges reported in Orange county this season. William Hill's threshing outfit completed the season's operations this week and was hauled in for the winter. The outfit had a successful run of four months. Upward of 75,000 sacks of grain were threshed. Sheriff Lacy leaves today for Ogden, Utah, to secure W. M. Maynard, the clever forger who passed bogus checks in Fullerton. Fritz Martin's new calendars for 1904 are things of beauty. Handsomest ever is the general verdict. Mrs. Wm.
