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 DECEMBER 14, 1878 The Board of Town Trustees held a meeting yesterday afternoon. Messrs. Cohen and Yocum were appointed a committee to purchase buckets, rope and hand hooks for use of the Fire Department, the cost not to exceed $55. The petition of citizens on West street, to have the street graded was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements. The following was adopted: "Resolved, That the matter of introducing water into the town be referred to the Committee on Public Improvements to ascertain the probable cost and best means to secure that end and report at the next general meeting, and, further, that the President be added to that committee." The Marshal was instructed to collect taxes until January 1st without exacting the additional 5 per cent. The clerk was instructed to inquire of Tax Collector Kremer if the citizens of Anaheim are charged with county road tax. The Marshal was ordered to either collect the dog tax or kill the dogs. At a meeting of Anaheim Lodge, No. 207, F. & A. M., held on Monday evening, the following officers were elected: D. E. Miles, W. and M.; A. W. Steinhart, S. W.; T. S. Grimshaw, J. W.; M. L. Goodman, treasurer (re-elected 6th time), G. D. Plato, secretary. A very nice social time was had after the business of the evening was disposed of and an excellent lunch was discussed with much relish. At a special meeting of the Santa Ana Lodge, F. & A. M., held on Friday evening the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: M. J. Bunday, W. M.; B. Parton, S. W.; C. C. Edinger, J. W.; T. J. Lockhart, treasurer; R. C.

Chelton, secretary. The Episcopal Church Fair on Thursday was exceedingly well attended, and the financial result must have beenCg tory to the managers. The table was bountifully supplied with a profusion of distractingly pretty trifles which sold well, and many other eceteras succeeded in swelling the coffers of the church with coin. During the evening Rev. Dr. Trew announced that a social would be held at Mr. Seibert's house on Monday evening. Admission will be ten cents and refreshments will be served free of charge. All are invited. John McGarvin and C. M. Benbrook on behalf of several Downey city sportsmen challenge Los Angeles hunters to a trial of skill in duck shooting. Their discretion in not challenging Anaheim sportsmen is worthy of admiration. We have in our mind's eye, Horatio, several mighty huntsmen to whom the ducks succumb as readily as did the coon to the famous Davy Crockett of revered memory. The lawyers of Los Angeles have formed a bar association and adopted a constitution and by-laws. The following are the officers: President, A. Glassell; secretary, A. W. Hutton; treasurer, J. A. Graves; Committee on Applications for Membership, J. R. McConnel, H. K. S. O'Melvery, J. G. Howard, S. M. White, Thomas H. Smith. The public schools of Anaheim will close for the holiday vacation on the 20th, inst. They will re-open about the 6th of January, and it is to be hoped that the new school house will be ready for occupancy by that time. J. K. Tuffree will auction off his fine lot of dairy stock on the 21st, inst. The completion of the Cajon ditch has made his land too valuable to longer justify him in keeping it only as a pasture farm. It is seldom that our citizens have the pleasure of attending so delightful an entertainment as that given last Friday evening, and it is not often that any performance got so large an audience. The exercises were unusually interesting was evident from the close attention given and the hearty applause that greeted every piece. The young performers had been carefully trained and the complete success of their exhibition will no doubt encourage the pupils of our schools to favor us with another entertainment before the close of the school year. The program of the exercises was published last week. The selections were mostly of a humorous character. The singing was well done and was so interspersed throughout the program as to give a pleasing variety to the exercises. The farce, "Wanted 1000 Milliners," which concluded the evening's performance, was well acted and very laughable. The Thespians have become famous for good acting. The teachers and pupils request us to return their thanks close attention given and the hearty applause that greeted every piece.

The teachers and pupils request us to return their thanks to Harry Hanna, Geo. B. Shaffer and Ed. Pellegrin, to the members of the Thespian club and to Messrs. Crowther, Higgins, Turner and Gilman, of the Anaheim String Band, for valuable assistance in making their school exhibition a decided success. The receipts were $106; the expenses, $15; leaving a balance of $91. A bell as large as can be hung in the tower of the new school house can be procured for about $80. Thus the object of the exhibition was more than realized. It is a notworthy fact that there has never been an entertainment given in Anaheim, having for its object the advancement of our school interests, that has not proved an emphatic success. A community which so readily responds to the wants of the educational department must of necessity be the home of intelligence, culture and progress. Henry Paty has closed a contract with the Los Angeles Gas company to haul 200 tons of brea to the Anaheim depot. He brought in his first load yesterday. We acknowledge a visit from H. W. Lake, one of the most prosperous and enterprising merchants of Santa Ana. A. Guy Smith & Co. offer the house and lot at the corner of Augusta and Hedwig streets, opposite the new school house for sale. Dwelling nearly new contains four rooms, surrounded with fine shade trees. The property will be sold for $700 with a cash payment of $100, balance in monthly installments of $12 each, with interest on unpaid balance at 1 per cent per month until paid. Notice to All Whom It May Concern—My wife, Virginia, having left my bed and board, I hereby give notice that I will not be responsible for any debts she may contract from this date—Anaheim, Dec. 3, 1878. R. BOHN. ISS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ay Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings in Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 10, 1903 H. W. Chynoweth returned on Sunday evening from a week's business trip to San Francisco. Edgar Johnson of the Fullerton Tribune was in town on Monday on a short pasear. The Presbyterian church has completed arrangements for renting Miller's hall as a temporary place of worship while remodeling of the church building is in progress. C. F. Grim of the lumber yard is at his post of duty again after a week's vacation in Los Angeles. During his absence his place was filled by Henry M. Adams of Santa Ana. Bird V. Beebe has added to his stock a line of buggy robes, which are worthy of a careful inspection upon the part of buyers. His rubber tired vehicles comprise the newest creations and are going at prices hitherto unhead of. Inspect his stock before purchasing elsewhere. Rain still hangs off and the price of beef has advanced to $12. A generous downpour between now and the holidays would tend to improve matters greatly. However, it is yet too early to make wry faces relative to the season's rainfall. The best years we have ever had have been those during which no rain has fallen until well along in December. We have even gone to the latter part of January without moisture, and have heard the dry years croakers' chorus up to that time, only to be deluged with such said specimen. Big Appropriation For Extensions Southern Cal. Edison Co. Will Spend $29,000,000 in 1929 R. H. Ballard, president of the Southern California Edison company, today announced that the board of directors of the company had approved a budget of $29,260,214 for the year 1929. These expenditures next year will be largely for re-enforcement and extension of the distributing system and will be a part of the $130,000,000 expansion program outlined by the company for the next five years. "We are on the eve of a tremendous expansion in the commercial application of electricity," said Mr. Ballard. "Our company has reached the point where major activities for the next few years will be the extension of our distribution system for the service of our customers." "During the present year, the first under our new program which we term the 'commercial era,' we have sold 300,-000 horse power of electricity in new business, an increase of forty per cent over the previous year. The plans for 1929 call for 375,000 horse power in new business." "For the past twenty-five years our energies have been concentrated on problems of plant construction and general finance. These departments now rest on very strong foundations, enabling us to take advantage of the expansive character of the times." "When an increased generating capacity is demanded to keep abreast with this expansion we can meet the demand by additions to our present hydro and steam plants. The aim of the company will be to keep safely ahead of the demand for electric energy." The 1929 appropriations will be spent in the ten counties of Southern and Central California served by the Southern California Edison company system. A new general office building in Los Angeles will be constructed at a cost of $2,500,000. Funds of the 1929 budget will be allotted to the thirty-two districts through which the company operates and the Big Crew-San Joaquin and Long Beach Rain still hangs off and the price of beef has advanced to $12. A generous downpour between now and the holidays would tend to improve matters greatly. However, it is yet too early to make wry faces relative to the season's rainfall. The best years we have ever had have been those during which no rain has fallen until well along in December. We have even gone to the latter part of January without moisture, and have heard the dry years croakers' chorus up to that time, only to be deluged with such copious downpours as to set at rest all doubt as to the season's outcome. It is the late rains which make crops, and we look for an abundance of them right along on schedule time. Yet a soaker of about three inches before Christmas would be quite acceptable. Fullerton is again talking of incorporation and there seems to be a unanimity of opinion on the part of progressive citizens looking to that end. The proposed municipality embraces eighteen squares miles of territory, which, if the proposition carries at the polls, ought to start the new town government off with excellent prospects of bring lasting benefits to those within the corporation. Anaheim's territorial area is not two square miles. Taxes will be higher in the new town than is now figured upon by some of its enthusiasts, and more expenses will crop out than are at present discernible upon the surface, but after all is said, incorporation is what our neighbor inneeds and what it should have had long ago. The initial trouble lies in placing the lines bounding the new municipality. Let them be fixed right then go ahead and incorporate. Anaheim's crack team of bowlers, composed of O. Warling, C. Fischer, R. Jones, E. Stone and C. Handy, defeated Santa Ana at the Maple alleys on Tuesday evening by a score of 2297 to 2204. The Santa Ana team was composed of Forgy, Tubbs, Patton, Ludlow and Mack. Warling made high roll, 198; Fischer's high average, 173. Tax collections for November, as reported by County Tax Collector Robinson, amounted to $172,820.47. This marks a record in the history of the county. In this city out of a total tax increment of $9000, all but something under $100 has been paid. The Board of Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present, Mrssrs. Schneider, Rust, Fletcher, Weisel. The committee on public improvements, reported that water connections had been made for Mr. Nebelung on Lemon street and for E. W. McCollum on Philadelphia street; that the houses of the following persons had been wired for electric lights: E. A. Zeus on West Center street; L. Nemetz on East Center, Kleaver on Chartres and Olive streets and E. W. McCollum on Philadelphia; that the water connection broken by the settling of the new water tank had been repaired; that the city teams had been busy filling chuck holes and have oiled East and Lemon streets and that another carload of oil for road sprinkling would be received on Thursday. The ordinance committee introduced an ordinance regulating the keeping of chickens and other fowls and animals, and it was read for the first time. If the ordinance is adopted it will be unlawful to allow your chickens to run at large. Bid of McWilliams and Dunn for new roof over power house was accepted. They offered to do the work for $252. No bids were received for constructing the sidewalk on North Los Angeles street and a resolution to re-advertise for bids was adopted. Trustee Weisel recommended that the salaries of city teamsters be increased from $45 to $50 per month as they had to furnish this expansion we can meet the demand by additions to our present hydro and steam plants. The aim of the company will be to keep safely ahead of the demand for electric energy." The 1929 appropriations will be spent in the ten counties of Southern and Central California served by the Southern California Edison company system. A new general office building in Los Angeles will be constructed at a cost of $2,500,000. Funds of the 1929 budget will be allocated to the thirty-two districts through which the company operates and the Big Creew-San Joaquin and Long Beach generating plants for expansion of service facilities and continuation of generating development. With the completion during the past year of the fifth of a series of hydroelectric power plants as a part of the Big Creek project in the High Sierra, the company now has a capacity of 460-000 horse power of electric energy from this source. Other water power plants and the steam generating plants at Long Beach furnish an inter-connected generating capacity of 1,061,000 horse power. System improvements for the various districts scheduled in accordance with the new budget include the construction during the year of twelve new sub-stations, new sub-offices and three new stores and garages, in addition to the general re-enforcement of the distribution lines. The Southern California Edison company now is serving an area of 55,000 square miles including 360 cities and towns with a population of approximately 3,000,000. Citrus Pest Control Attracting Attention Control of citrus pests of citrus fruits attracted much attention at the International Congress of Entomology held recently at Ithaca, New York. Citrus fruit insects constituted one of the divisions into which economic entomology was divided. There were representatives present from the chief citrus producing regions of the world. The Mediterranean region was represented by F. Vestri di Italy, D. de Torres of Spain, Bayesian University of Egypt and F. S. Odenseheimer of Latvia. South Africa was represented by F. W. Dettey and Australia by W. B. Gurney. Those in citrus insect program from the United States were W. W. Yothers of Florida, and Harry S. Smith and H. J. Quyle of California. Since fungiation and spraying are practiced for the control of citrus insects in most of the above countries, foreign representatives were particularly interested in California work along these lines. This interest was further shown by the fact that the delegates from Australia, Egypt, South Africa and Italy visited the Experiment Station either before or after the Congress. The Spanish representative had previously taken the summer course in citrus insects at Riverside. Citrus fumigation has greatly increased in Australia during the past few had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repaired; that the city teams had been repired; that the city teams had been repired; that the city teams had been repired; that the city teams had been repired; that the city teams had been repired; that the city teams had been repired; that the city teams had been repired; that the city teams had been repired; that the city teams had been repired; that the city teams had been repired; that the city teams had been repired; The ordinance committee introduced an ordinance regulating the keeping of chickens and other fowls and animals, and it was read for the first time. If the ordinance is adopted it will be unlawful to allow your chickens to run at large. Bid of McWilliams and Dunn for new roof over power house was accepted. They offered to do the work for $252. No bids were received for constructing the sidewalk on North Los Angeles street and a resolution to re-advertise for bids was adopted. Trustee Weisel recommended that the salaries of city teamsters be increased from $45 to $50 per month as they had to furnish stable room for the horses. His motion to that effect was adopted. A. T. Pendleton was in town on Monday from Placentia. Mr. Pendleton is one of the leading horticulturists of that section, and reports oranges promising the heaviest crop in years, although some damage was sustained in the recent windstorm. Frank Stone has taken his arm out of the sling in which he has carried it for some weeks on account of a broken collar bone. He will soon be himself again. Tim Carroll was in town yesterday for the first time since his return from Colorado. He has been having trouble with his eyes, but is improving. Archie Henry and James Henry, two of the progressive young horticulturists of Caledonia, were in town on Monday on a brief business mission. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Chamberlain celebrated the first anniversary of their marriage at their home in Santa Ana on Monday. Many friends called to extend felicitations over the happy event. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Nagle, parents of A. Nagle of this city, have arrived from Indiana, accompanied by their daughter, Miss Carrie Nagle, and will remain during the winter. Fred Maurer has been on the sick list this week having been confined to his bed with a cold for several days. Fred Yoern has secured a first-class horshoeer and blacksmith and has re-opened his shop on Los Angeles street. He will be glad to have the people of Anaheim and vicinity give him a trial. Since fumigation and spraying are practiced for the control of citrus insects in most of the above countries, foreign representatives were particully interested in California work along these lines. This interest was further shown by the fact that the delegates from Australia, Egypt, South Africa and Italy visited the Experiment Station either before or after the Congress. The Spanish representative had previously taken the summer course in citrus insects at Riverside. Citrus fumigation has greatly increased in Australia during the past few years since the introduction of the dust method by Quayle in 1923. Quayle also introduced the liquid method of fumigation in Spain during the same year. This method is now being used together with the old pot system of fumigation. About four hundred thousand trees were fumigated in Australia last year and one million in Egypt. Fumigation of plants with hydrocyanic acid originated in California in 1886. It has been the chief method of control of scale insects on citrus trees since that time. More citrus fumigation work is done in California than in all of the rest of the world. Last year between five and six million trees were fumigated at a cost of $2,200,000. To do this work about 20,000 tents are necessary to cover 'the trees and these tents are valued at about $1,000,000.
