IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Co 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 7, 1873 On Friday, Nov. 29th, quite a number of ladies and gentlemen met in the Presbyterian church to review and discuss the constitution and by-laws which a committee appointed for the purpose had prepared. Said constitution and by-laws were adopted in toto, and the committee was discharged. A ballot was taken and resulted in the election of the following as officers of the society, namely: J. M. Guinn, president; W. H. Henderson, clerk; Rev. E. Halliday, editor-in-chief, and an executive committee consisting of several ladies and gentlemen whose names we cannot recall.. Mr. Halliday gave a pen-and-ink sketch of world-wide celebrities, and some of the ladies rendered some enchanting music. A meeting was held last evening, when a good program was executed, and the roll of members was largely increased. The society has now a membership of 28. On Monday night an adjourned meeting of Democrats was held at Mr. Cohen's rooms. A constitution and by-laws were adopted, and the following officers elected: President, Isaac Cohen; vice-president, N. M. McFadden; recording secretary, Victor Montgomery; corresponding secretary, Geo. C. Knox; treasurer, A. C. Roques; sergeant-at-arms, R. M. Barham. The organization will be known as the Anaheim Democratic Campaign club, and is to exist until December, 1880, until after the Presidential election. Meetings will be held on the first Monday of every month at Mr. Cohen's rooms. The corresponding secretary-was instructed to inform the State Central committee of the formation of this club, and to request that it be furnished with campaign documents, etc. held at Mr. Cohen's rooms.

Dreyfus is seriously considering the proprietoy of erecting a brick building on Center street, removing the buildings now occupied by Mr. Mendelson and Mr. Ey. He is now in San Francisco and it is expected he will write in a few days giving his decision. If he does build it will be a one-story building but large enough for two stores. One of them will be occupied by Goodman & Rimpau. It is also said that Mr. Kroeger contemplates building another brick structure adjoining his hall. If these buildings do go up it will add wonderfully to the appearance of Center street and of the town generally. President Hayes has sent in the name of Harrison Gray Otis for confirmation by the senate as collector of customs at San Diego. Mr. Ottis is editor of the Santa Barbara Press; and from a long reading of that paper, we have come to consider its editor in the light of old acquaintance, and take the privilege of congratulating him. Paul Oeker, the gentleman who exhibited the Edison phonograph here, has written a very fine letter to the Stats Zeitung about Anaheim. In one sentence he says: "Take it all in all, Anaheim is the home of contentment and happiness, gained through industry and perseverance; there virtue reigns supreme and everyone exhibits a desire to better the condition of himself and fellowmen." S. J. Davis, well-known former resident of Anaheim, was in town yesterday. He was suffering from the effects of a fall of 24 feet from a pile of hay, his wrist being disjointed and his system being generally badly shaken up. We are glad to learn that he thinks of again settling in Anaheim. As Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Garey were returning home from Artesia on Tuesday evening, their carriage got off the road and rolled down an embankment. The occupants were thrown out, but escaped with a few slight bruises. The typos of this office gratefully acknowledge the courtesy of John Fischer, the host of the Planter's hotel, in sending a lot of delicious cake yesterday. Con Howe, of Webster, Howe & Co., Garden Grove, returned from San Francisco a few days ago. He has purchased largely of merchandise usually kept in stock as well as a special assortment of holiday goods. The Rev. Mr. Thew will preach in the Episcopal church tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock on "Almost Ready and Yet Too Late to Go in." Deputy Sheriff Barham got home on Wednesday evening from San Quintin, in which retreat he deposited a couple of convicts.

In the Los Angeles Star of Wednesday the announcement was made that the daily edition of that paper would be discontinued on account of the prevailing dull times. It will be published as a weekly. This leaves two daily papers in Los Angeles—The Herald, morning, and the Express, evening. Moye Wicks has moved from Santa Ana to Los Angeles, and in conjunction with his brother will practice the profession of law. Yesterday afternoon J. B. Pierce had the misfortune to break his leg by falling from a load of hay. The limb is broken in two places, and it will be fully two months before he will be able to leave his bed. The candy store of D. C. Reed, Lanfranco's block, Los Angeles, was totally destroyed by fire on Sunday morning. Loss fully covered by insurance. Mary Elizabeth Hunter, aged 8 years, a grandchild of John Hunter, died on Sunday of rheumatism of the heart. H. S. Austin returned from his northern trip on last Thursday. His health is somewhat better than when he went away. The ladies of the Episcopal church invite the people of Southern California and all their friends to a luxurious lunch and superb supper at Kroeger's hall on Thursday, December 12. Ducks, chickens, turkeys and ice cream, needlework, notions and ladies' fancy work given away in exchange for cash. Fun and amusement in the evening. Tickets of admission, including supper, 50 cents. Children under 10 half price. The Anaheim String band has kindly consented to play favorite airs during the evening. DAYS OF LONG AGO The 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 DECEMBER 3, 1903 The first Santa Ana of the season blew during Sunday night, blowing with old-fashioned zest about midnight, doing no damage except to topple over top-heavy plants in gardens. Monday morning zephyrs continued to blow and at 10 o'clock people coming in from the steppes east of town reported the wind keeping up its high-pressure exertions. For some days the weather has been warm. On Thursday the mercury rose above 90, and the oldest inhabitant said it was the hottiest Thanksgiving Day he could remember. At noon on Monday when the town people began to wonder whether they were to have an old-fashioned blow, the wind suddenly ceased, and the afternoon was pleasant, the usual sea breeze coming in. Monday night at 10 o'clock the fog rolled in and was so thick one could hardly see across the street. The fog cleared up toward sun-up, but relented and rolled in again at 9 o'clock and remained for several hours. With the exception of light showers in September no rain has fallen this season. The famous Walkover Baseball club was skinned at baseball Thanksgiving Day by the Young Americas of this city. Score, 23 to 5. The Walkovers had advertised they would positively skin the Kids, but the latter turned the tables on them and defeated them decisively. Arthur McAuley, manager of the defeated nine, is looking about for new talent, and may be prevailed upon to tackle the Kids again. COUNTY'S PARKS It would be a good thing if other Southern California groups would emulate those of Orange county, which met the other evening at Laguna Beach to consider what should be done about selecting a state park or parks. Practically every town and city in that district was represented. All were wide awake to the opportunities that soon will be open to them when the state park money of $12,000,000 is available. Their preliminary view of this subject convinced them that concerted, thoroughly programmed and EARLY action is needed to get best results. When they make their request of the State Park Board for an allotment from the fund they will have a case that has been worked out in every detail, and they will have behind it the organized sentiment of the entire county. That is one important lesson other sections may have free from the alert anud progressive communities of that district. Another, equally important, is this: The Laguna Beach conference centered its discussion on beach frontage. The representatives, without exception, said that the need of their communities, first to be considered, is MORE OCEAN STRAND. This, in general, is true of all the rest of Southern California. Naturally there are to be mountain parks, camps and reservations. But as most of the desirable areas are owned by the Federal Government their cost will be comparatively negligible, and they will not fall into private hands. The beaches are another problem. They are being gobbled up, many additional miles of the closest stretches each year. Southern California's share of the $12,000,000 should be used largely to buy more frontage that will be set aside forever for the enjoyment of the people here. This policy is URGENT. The matter of interior and mountain parks takes second place in point of time.

Arthur McAuley, manager of the defeated nine, is looking about for new talent, and may be prevailed upon to tackle the Kids again. The little four-year-old son of H. Gade fell while playing at the family home this week and broke the left arm below the elbow. Dr. Johnston was called and set the broken member and the little sufferer is getting along well. Wm. Berkenstock has made, independent of any organization, one of the best orange sales in this section during the past few weeks. The Valencias were from two acres on his home place in Placentia, and were off sizes, running from 64s to 125s inclusive. The output was two carloads from about 15 trees, which netted the grower, on the tree $2.25 a box, selling in New York for $1823.49. The trees are nine years old. Don David Yorba was in town from up the river on Monday. He is engaged in fencing his property at Yorba, as are his brothers, division of the estate having been made some years ago. Tacked up at intervals along the fence are to be found notices to the effect that shooting on the ground will be dealt with according to law. Don David says quail hunters have overrun the foothills in quest of game, which has been quite plentiful, and shots are fired in all directions, endangering livestock and becoming more of a nuisance with each recurring year. H. Hildebrandt owns a row of eight walnut trees on his property on Los Angeles street which will have to come out if the city authorities insist upon demanding ten feet off his frontage for sidewalk purposes. Mr. Hildebrandt does not stand in the way of public improvement, but considers that payment should be made by the city for his walnut trees, which he values at $25 each. He is willing to give eight feet, which will permit the trees to stand, but objects to giving more without compensation. Should the city insist upon a wider strip he informs us he will take his case into the courts, where he hopes his rights in the premises will be respected. The trees are ten years old. Venders of apples have been in town this week from Garden Grove, Compton and other points. Prices were $1.25 a box of 75 pounds and several wagon loads were disposed of. The fruit was of the pearmain variety, and the apples were sound and free from blemish. A barn and contents valued at $2500, the property of Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana, were totally destroyed by fire at Villa Park on Monday. The property was not insured. The building was ignited by a brush fire started by a neighbor, the high wind which prevailed fanning the flames so that they got beyond control. C. C.

The family will have a housewarming to which their many friends will be invited. Weisel & Boyd began shipping out oranges from their packing house yesterday when their first car of fine fruit was forwarded East. They expect to handle a considerable part of the local crop. Alex Henry has our thanks for a box of very fine Valencia late oranges grown at Caledonia Grove. The fruit is the equal of any we ever tasted, and in brightness of color and firmness is intitled to the name and style of fancy brand. Mr. Henry is one of the successful orchardists of Orange county and what is grown at Caledonia Grove is the equal of the best. Ben Kraemer was a business visitor in town on Saturday on a brief business mission. Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Backs, Jr., have had as their guests this week Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Perris of San Bernardino.

L. A. Will Welcome French Cruiser Crew In its position as a center of teaching and research of French language and literature the University of Southern California will join with the diplomatic and social leaders of Los Angeles in welcoming and entertaining the officers and midshipmen of the French cruiser, "Edgar Quinet," on the arrival of this training ship of the French navy in Los Angeles in mid-December. On the evening of December 15 a formal dinner will be given to the officers of the ship and to representatives of the cadets-in-training by President Rufus B. von KleinEmid and M. Henri Didot, the French Consul for Los Angeles. To this dinner, which is to be in the nature of a civic function, have been invited the outstanding members of the French colony in Los Angeles, a number of representative French artists and actors and scholars who are at work in this country, and a delegation of the social and intellectual leaders of Southern California. The port of Los Angeles will be the first stop of the French cruiser in the United States. It is due there on December 14, having left Brest, France, for a six-months' cruise on October 12. It will leave for San Francisco on December 18 to remain over the holiday, and is due at San Diego on December 20. These three cities will be the only ports of call in the United States.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH "Ancient and Modern Necromancy, Alias Mesmerism and Hypnotism, Denounced," will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon will include the following Bible selection from Deuteronomy 1: "When thou art come into the land which thou Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations . . . Thou shalt be perfect with, the Lord thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, heartken unto observers of times, and unto diviners; but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do." The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 239), by Mary Baker Eddy: "Let it be understood that success in error is defeat in Truth. The watchword of Christian Science is Scriptural: 'Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts.'" Babe Ruth went out into the campaign to bat home runs for Governor Smith but he seems to have hit into a double play. Let Us Supply The LUMBER FOR YOUR HOME!
