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 21, 1878 The Committee of the Board of Trustees held a meeting on Monday and discussed the project of supplying the town with water. Although nothing definite was decided upon, it was the opinion of the committee that the most feasible plan would be something like this: Purchase a small piece of land east of town and build a reservoir to be kept filled with water from the main ditch of the Anaheim Water company, run a four-inch pipe down Sycamore street to Los Angeles street, thence along Los Angeles street to Center street for a little distance past Lemon street. Hydrants to be placed where most needed. From Mr. Hartung's vineyard to town is a fall of 19 feet. Further meetings of the committee will be held from time to time, and every effort will be made, consistent with due caution, to expedite the laying of the pipe. Meantime, to use the language to the marriage ceremony, if anyone has objections (or suggestions) now is the time to make them known or forever after hold their peace. Fred Hartung showed us on Monday the diploma awarded to him for the best white wine exhibited at the agricultural fair. It is a handsome souvenir and well worth framing. The other Anaheim exhibitors who are entitled to diplomas are: Miss Agusta Hartung, Wm. Koenig, Chas. Wille and N. Gray. At the conclusion of services at the Presbyterian church on last Sunday evening, A. Guy Smith discovered that his horse and Fred Hartung showed us on Monday the diploma awarded to him for the best white wine exhibited at the agricultural fair.

At the conclusion of services at the Presbyterian church on last Sunday evening, A. Guy Smith discovered that his horse and buggy were standing at a different place from where he had placed them before entering the church and that an afghan, which had been left in the buggy, had disappeared. It is probable some miscreants had taken a ride in the buggy, and that during the surreptitious drive the afghan was lost. Such pranks are very funny as long as the perpetrators elude detection. The social at Mr. Seibert's house the other evening was participated in by a goodly number of people and the already hand some sum in the treasury of the Episcopal church was considerably augmented. The social passed so pleasantly that it likely the practice of meeting at different houses every week two will be kept up during the winter. At the solicitation of many business men in Santa Ana, Messrs. Scott and Montgomery of this place have opened a branch law office in our neighboring village. Mr. Montgomery can be found at the Santa Ana office on Tuesday and Friday of each week. All legal business entrusted to this firm will receive the most prompt and careful attention. Jos. Bennehscheidt yesterday called our attention to a new lot of "Medallion" ranges which he has just received. The ranges are finely finished and have every imaginable convenience attached to them. They are changed and perfected every year and those for 1879 contain many improvements. Mr. Warling, our harness maker, has recently turned out some very fine work. If anyone desires a set of harness or a saddle made in any particular style, he can be accommodated by giving his order to Mr. Warling. J. J. Guinn has rented his farm three miles northwest of Anaheim to Messrs. Smith and Raine. On January 4th he will sell at public auction his fine lot of thoroughbred and graded hogs, and much other property fully described in the handbill posted around town. It is a credit sale—four-months' time being given in which to pay all amounts over $5. The sale will take place at his farm, and will begin at 10 o'clock a.m. A Christmas tree social will be given at the Presbyterian church on Tuesday evering, under the management of the Sunday school teachers. A cordial invitation is extended to all to be present. There will be vocal and instrumental music during the evening, besides the usual exercises by the Sunday school pupils. A fisherman from Anaheim Landing was in town on Tuesday selling fine fresh mackerel. This species of fish has only lately made its appearance on this part of the coast, and it is to be hoped that they will like our aqueous climate well enough to remain, as they are exceedingly tchsome and delicate in flavor.

A fisherman from Anaheim Landing was in town on Tuesday selling fine fresh mackerel. This species of fish has only lately made its appearance on this part of the coast, and it is to be hoped that they will like our aqueous climate well enough to remain, as they are exceedingly toothsome and delicate in flavor. Messrs. P. H. Look & Co. will on Monday kill the royal beeves heretofore spoken of in these columns, and on Thursday their market will be decked in all the glory of Christmas decorations. The public is invited to call during that day and select a Christmas roast. Col. W. S. Davis hass old his farm to Mrs. Browning of London, England. It is his intention to remain in Anaheim with his family during the winter and it is probable that he may decide to remain permanently. A sale of 2600 sheep was made a few days ago at $2.50 a head. The purchaser, Domingo Frostanchury, is now on his way to San Francisco with a band of 2000 sheep which he expects to sell to the butchers of the metropolis. The tin roof on the Planters Hotel has been repaired by Mr. Fesenfeld, and the rain which has considerably deferred its appearance until the repairs were completed can now come at its earliest convenience. On last Thursday night and the following day the wind blew with great violence, and the accompanying dust made the day as disagreeable a one as any within the memory of "the oldest inhabitant." Many signs were blown down in town, but the only extensive damage done was the destruction of the tin roofing on the east side of the Planters Hotel. The whole side was completely stripped of tin and greater damage would have been done had Mr. Fesenfeld not secured the flying fragments with ropes. It is probable that some damage was done to unprotected orchards. It is said that three boys yesterday picked up on the streets $10, $5 and 50 cents respectively, the first two amounts being gold pieces. But then our reporter's informant may have been giving him taffy. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century By Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings in Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 17, 1903 Col. John Kendall Tuffree for thirty years one of the best known residents of this section, died at his home in Placentia on Sunday morning. News of Col. Tuffree's death spread quickly throughout the valley, where he was so well and favorably known. Expressions of regret were heard on all sides at his untimely taking off. Colonel Tuffree was born in St. Louis, Missouri, March 31st, 1842. He married Miss Caroline Polhemus in Santa Clara county, came to Placentia in 1872, where he lived until his death. The deceased leaves the following children. Frederick B., Juanita C., Charles P., John C., Henry D., Mrs. Nellie A. Lloyd of Los Angeles, Mrs. W. B. Pittman and James Tuffree. He was a member of the Confederate Secret service and took a prominent part in the war between the states. After the war he came to California and after a few years in the North came to this section, where he had since resided. He was a Mason, and the interment, which occurred on Tuesday afternoon, was under the auspices of that order. Jacob Ruf states that while on his way home on Friday night at about 7 o'clock, and when on Center street, just west of Palm, he was confronted by a masked man who held a revolver in his face and demanded money. Ruf had none and was permitted to go his way without further molestation. For the Holidays—The Boston Bakery on Center street will be well supplied with ice cakes and all kinds of fancy cakes, also Game Conservation Discussed By Bryant Director of California Division Speaks at National Conference Stressing the need for reliable information based on practical and scientific investigation for the advancing of fish and game conservation, Dr. Harold C. Bryant, director of the Bureau of Education of the Division of Fish and Game, delivered the principal address of the final session of the National Game Conference on December 4th at the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York City. Bryant explained in his talk that much money had been wasted on spectacular efforts to increase game, without appreciable results when a practical and scientific investigation would have shown that while not as speedy or showy, but much more stable results could have been obtained by the development of native species in their own habitat. The director of California's educational department of the Fish and Game Division explained to the crowd of conservationists who attended the meeting, how salmon was losing ground in California waters. He told of the famous Pisno clams and the efforts being made to protect them. He also gave a very interesting review of the grunion, that fine food fish with the most unique spawning habits of the finny tribe. Bryant explained that the deer tag law that went into effect last year in California had shown that over 20,000 deer had been killed, but declared that it had not as yet been determined whether or not the kill was so high that there was danger of a loss in this, the only big game of the state. He insisted that fish and game conservationists should know what happens to breeding stock, and that without the constant building up of this stock, game cannot continue to thrive and increase.

For the Holidays—The Boston Bakery on Center street will be well supplied with iced cakes and all kinds of fancy cakes, also honey cakes and a great variety of fancy cookies and Christmas tree decorations from 1-cent up. A fine assortment of candies, from the cheapest Christmas mixed to the very fine French creams and chocolate candies. Also imported Swiss chocolate by the pound in 5 and 10-cent packages. Your patronage is solicited. STEPHEN KISTLER. Gerald Sandilands states that upon arising a few mornings ago he found the dining window open and the blind up, knowing that the window had been closed and the blind down the evening before, when a wind was blowing. During the night Mrs. Sandilands heard sounds as of footsteps in the room, but thinking the noise was caused by the wind, paid little attention to it. Mr. Sandilands believed his residence was visited by a burglar during the night, but probably the fellow was scared off as nothing was missed from the house in the morning. Burglars effected an entrance into Hutchinson's drug store sometime during Monday night and robbed the safe and money drawers, securing about $50. There is no clue to the thieves. Final account was filed last week with the county clerk on the oldest probate case on the records of Orange county, that of Tomas A. Yorba, which has been in litigation since 1896. Yorba was one of the wealthy Spaniards of the county's history and left an estate valued at $37,872. Since Yorba's death, the property, consisting chiefly of holdings in the Yorba district north of Orange, has been constantly before the courts. In the final account filed by the attorneys, Montgomery and Blake enter claims for $700 attorneys' fees, and the administrator, Francis Sanchez seeks $2009 for his services. It is said the heirs will contest these claims when the hearing comes before Judge West on the 19th, inst. Harry Davis was over from Santa Ana a few days ago. Harry is in the hardware business in the county seat and says prosperity is coming his way. Max Nebelung will move his real estate and insurance office from his present location adjoining Center Market to the office lately vacated by Dr. Tyler. Hatfield & Stock will move from their present quarters to the premises lately vacated by Dr. Bickford. The rooms now occupied by them have been rented for a new racket store. Justus Schneider was in this week from Orangethorpe. Mr. Schneider is one of the prosperous horticulturists of his section, owning one of the fine apricot orchards on the avenue. A social hop will be given at the Opera House on the evening law that went into effect last year California had shown that over 20,000 deer had been killed, but declared that it had not as yet been determined whether or not the kill was so high that there was danger of a loss in this, the only big game of the state. He insisted that fish and game conservationists should know what happens to breeding stock, and that without the constant building up of this stock, game cannot continue to thrive and increase. The large decrease in ducks in the state was explained by the fact that in recent years huge areas once marshland were now included in reclamation projects where agriculture had crowded out the birds. This, he explained, was being offset to a certain extent by the state attempting to establish game refuges where ducks could cost, breed and be protected. The dangers of pollution were taken up and the great menace of oil, which has developed into one of the state's greatest industries in just a few years, was explained. The steps taken to eliminate this danger in California have been responsible for the saving of great amounts of fish and game, but it was only through a thorough and intelligent handling of the problem after both practical and scientific investigation that the work was done. Disease of game and fish methods to combat it, and the great problems that the conservationists have to tackle daily were explained to the large group in attendance. Bryant's talk created much interest and he was the center of a number of well-known men in the fish and game protection and conservation field following the meeting. After the close of the game conference Bryant left for Washington. D.C., where he will attend a meeting of the educational committee on national parks of which he is a member. On his return to California he will visit the fish and game officials of Pennsylvania and New York. Muffler Cut-Out Must Be Disconnected Disconnect your muffler cut-out! This warning was issued to the motorists by the enforcement department of the Division of Motor Vehicles to remind the magain that it will be illegal to drive a car equipped with a cut-out capable of being operated by the driver after January 1st next. This provision was included in the motor vehicle act of 1827, the two-year period being allowed to permit car owners to take their cut-outs off. Division officials announced it would not be necessary to take the cut-outs off, but that the law would be complied with if they are disconnected or sealed so that they cannot be used. The Bureau of Standards at Washington has invented a machine which will divide an inch into millionths. This machine will be in great demand by cafeterias for slicing ham for sandwiches. Max Nebelung will move his real estate and insurance office from his present location adjoining Center Market to the office lately vacated by Dr. Tyler. Hatfield & Stock will move from their present quarters to the premises lately vacated by Dr. Bickford. The rooms now occupied by them have been rented for a new racket store. Justus Schneider was in this week from Orangethorpe. Mr. Schneider is one of the prosperous horticulturists of his section, owning one of the fine apricot orchards on the avenue. A social hop will be given at the Opera House on the evening of January 2nd. The committee in charge is composed of the following ladies: Miss Amparo Arballo, Miss Esther Daniel, Miss Belen Gaxiola and Miss Essie Ruiz. A. D. Porter was in town yesterday from Los Angeles, accompanied by his young son. Mr. Porter is employed at the carpenter's trade and states that work has been brisk during the summer. Secretary Snow of the Orange County Chamber of Commerce is preparing to construct a grizzly bear of walnut shells. He has already procured the frame for Bruin, and as soon as his assistant completes the task of opening several thousand walnuts and removing the meat, the shells will be applied to the frame and the bear placed on display at Exhibit hall on North Main street. E. Heimert was a business visitor in town some days ago from Norwalk. Druggist Hutchenson and wife drove to Sanitago canyon on Sunday to gather holly berries for decorative purposes. Judge F. O. Daniel was a business visitor in town the fore part of the week from Santa Ana. Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Redit and daughter were here from Los Angeles last week, guests of Mr. and Mrs. D. Redit. An interesting article from the pen of H. Clay Kellogg appears upon the front page this morning and will doubtless be perused with interest by our readers. Mr. Kellogg is engineering the construction of a large reservoir in Hawaii. The Wahiawa Colony, for which the reservoir is being constructed, was organized by Byron O. Clark, formerly of Anaheim. Mr. Kellogg expects to return to his home in Orange County in time to spend Christmas with his family. Notice is hereby given that sealed proposals will be received by the City of Anaheim, at the office of the City Clerk of said City, up to the hour of eight o'clock P.M. of Thursday, the 27th day of December, 1928, for the furnishing of all labor and material required for the construction of approximately 5000 square feet of Portland cement concrete pavement on East Center Street, adjacent to the tracks of the Santa Fe Railway, in said city.

Eastman Assistant Farm Advisor A carload of 4-H club members from Orange county visited the Third Christmas Week Fat Stock Show at the Los Angeles Union Stock Yards last Saturday, to inspect the entries and to watch the Junior Judging Teams in action. Although primarily interested in hogs, the cattle and horse entries were gone over with much interest. The greatest number of Junior Judging Teams ever competing on the Pacific Coast were gathered Saturday morning, and contacts were made with them and their leaders. The only all-girl's judging team to ever make a public contest (according to an announcement made at the stock yards) was in the ring and won third honors. This is the first year that breeding stock has been shown at the Christmas Week Show, and the inclusion of these entries proved to be very much worth while, and resulted in probably the best exhibit of fat stock ever exhibited in Southern California, according to report. At any rate many exceptionally fine animals representing all the leading breeds of beef, swine and sheep were exhibited, and proved of great educational value to those attending the show. One of the curiosities was a group of sheep entries by a 4-H boy, who raises them in his father's orange grove. Each year the size of this purebred ock has been increased with profit all around, since the boy raises his sheep and the father pays for the fertilizer produced, which is reported to be of sufficient quantity to materially affect the orchard. An entry of a small carload of Brahma steers attracted all comers by their unusual appearance. Cowboys tried to ride them in the afternoon without much success. They appeared to be able to jump about twice as high as a horse, and being just as high to start with, made the ground appear to be a long way down. However, all but one rider managed to reach it in remarkably quick time. Orange County Beekeepers Meet The regular fall meeting of the Orange county beekeepers will be held at the Farm Bureau office, Hall of Records, Santa Ana, next Saturday, December 15, 1:30 p.m., according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. Chairman P. L. Crump has arranged a program of special interest to beekeepers at this time. A. L. Boyden of Alhambra has been secured to explain the "Status of Honey Quarantine" in relation to the importing of large quantities of honey into the state. W. Atchley, Bee Inspector of San Bernardino county, has been invited to discuss the subject of "Queen Raising and Problems Connected Therewith." The Annual State Beekeepers' Meeting, held last week at Stockton, will be reported on by R. K. Bishop, Bee Inspector for Orange county. Election of officers will also be held by the group. The present officers are P. L. Crump, Santa Ana, chairman; and Gerald Twombly, Fullerton, secretary. All beekeepers are invited to attend. When the bulls and bears fight it out in the stock market somebody gets hurt and usually it is the sheep.
