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 C 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 4, 1879 The rainfall of Wednesday night was the heaviest of the season. The rain gauge in town marking 1.05 inches, making a total of 1.80 inches since Friday. Mr. Saxon of Orangethorpe, reports as follows: Rainfall. Dec. 24—Shower, 1-16. Dec. 28 to 7 o'clock, Jan. 2nd, 1 15-16. Total. 2 inches. He adds: This is not so much as one might suspect from the duration of the storm, but the ground is well saturated. Tried in several places and find none, but are wet to the depth of a foot or more. Mr. Darling reports the rainfall at the depot to be 1.80—the same as in town. The signal officer in Los Angeles reports 6.58 inches as the rainfall in the city. New Year's evening was so stormy that it was thought best to postpone the benefit entertainment at Orange, which the people of that place had tendered to the Baseball club. The entertainment will come off this evening and the "boys" hope and expect that their friends in Anaheim will do them the honor of being present. Business at the railroad depot has been remarkably brisk of late, especially in the wine shipments. Eight carloads of winhave been shipped during the week—five consigned to B. Dreyfuand three to L.

Business at the railroad depot has been remarkably brisk of late, especially in the wine shipments. Eight carloads of wine have been shipped during the week—five consigned to B. Dreyfu and three to L. J. Rose. Since the rains grain is also being sent forward to market. The probabilities of a good season have lessened the prospect of advance in the price of grain, and holders seem disposed to sell even at the prevailing low prices. The three Chinamen who beat their fellow prisoner in jail on Dec. 22nd, had an examination yesterday before Judge Athearn. The prosecution was conducted by Messrs. Scott and Brunson and the defense by Mr. Lynill. The defendants were held over to appear before the Grand Jurv, bail being fixed at $300 for each. The bail was furnished and the prisoners released. The Cajon Irrigation company failed to hold a meeting on last Saturday, not enough stock being represented. In a letter to Mr. Langenberger, J. W. Shanklin, the president of the company says it is probable that he will visit the East sometime during the next month, and it is inferred that he will not come down here until his return. Ernest Ferguson will open his drug store next Monday. Mr. Boege is now painting the counters and shelves, and will probably be through in time to permit the establishment to be opened on the above named day. Dr. Ellis has been advised by the manager of one of the large London banks of the safe arrival of a cask of Mr. Konig's port wine. The wine was in fine condition and gave great satisfaction. We regret to say that Mrs. Strodthoff is still very sick, and in a precarious condition. F. Conrad who has been seriously ill for the past week, was yesterday decidedly better. Wm. Bowden, formerly of the Santa Ana News, has commenced the publication of the Daily Item in San Bernardino. It is Democratic in politics. In a contest between Los Angeles and Downey sportsmen last Saturday the former team killed 151 ducks and the Downey team 150. Each team was made up of six men. The bell for the school house will arrive in a day or two and be placed immediately in position. D. W. Gelwicks returned last evening from his visit to San Francisco. On Christmas Eve Henry Schwartz again exhibited symptoms of aberration of mind and on Thursday last night he developed suicidal tendencies. He also imagines people are trying to kill him. On Monday he was taken to the State Insane asylum in Napa. We understand from our Garden Grove correspondent that the late storm has completely closed the channel at the Landing, so much so that it is impossible to get the lighters in or out if D. W. Gelwicks returned last evening from his visit to San Francisco.

On Monday he was taken to the State Insane asylum in Napa. We understand from our Garden Grove correspondent that the late storm has completely closed the channel at the Landing, so much so that it is impossible to get the lighters in or out, if they contain any load. The closing of the Landing will be a serious misfortune to the people in this portion of the country. Sampson Edwards of Westminster, has on his hands about 16,000 pounds of hogs, most of which has become first-class bacon, ham, lard and sausage meat by this time. He hopes to be able to enlarge his business for the next year. H. J. McDermott, has workmen engaged in building spring wagons, buggies and carriages, and in a few days will have an assortment ready from which purchasers can make a selection. The workmen in Mr. McDermott's establishment are all men of experience, and as particular attention is given to the quality of the material used the result is that the wagons made at his shop are all strong and durable. Mr. McDermott also does all kinds of blacksmithing at low prices. From the records of the Roman Catholic Church at Los Angeles we learn that during the year 1878 there were 63 marriages, 398 baptisms, of whom 14 were converts and 182 deaths. The following officers of Anaheim Lodge, F. & A. M., were installed at a meeting held last Friday evening: D. E. Miles, W. M.; A. W. Steinhart, S. W.; T. S. Grimshaw, J. W.; M. L. Goodmann, Treasurer; G. D. Plato, Secretary; Frank Ey, S. D.; C. S. Miles, J. D.; T. A. Darling, Marshal; David Evey, F. A. Korn, Stewards; R. D. Curtis, Tyler. Under the caption, "A District Singularly Exempt From Frost," the San Francisco Bulletin published one recent article in which we spoke of the immunity enjoyed by Anaheim during the late "cold spell." We are glad to note that this gratifying fact is likely to receive extended notice, as it will do much toward inducing people to settle here and engage in orange growing. YS OF LONG AGO Date 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 31, 1903 A Watch-night service will be held at the M. E. Church on Thursday night, Dec. 31st, to which everyone is invited. The service will begin at 9 o'clock p.m. and continue until 12 o'clock. There will be sermons during the evening by the following brethren: Rev. M. Wilkinson of Pittsburg, Pa.; Rev. Mr. Hilmer, pastor of the German M. E. Church; also an old-fashioned class meeting. As Fred Click was on his way home on Wednesday evening at half-past 11 o'clock, when at a point near the corner of Adele and Hermosa streets, he was met by a footpad who struck him a heavy blow on the forehead, knocking him to the ground unconscious. Click states he lay where he had fallen until half after 4 the following morning. In his rear trouser's pocket he had a $5 bill, which his assailant took. Click has no means of identifying the man, who was not masked, but the night was dark and he was struck before he had time to realize that an attempt was being made to rob him. Anaheim Fraternal Brotherhood Council has elected Mrs. Eva Boyd, president; Mrs. Amanda McWilliams, vice-president; C. I. Eaton, secretary; F. C. Rimpau, treasurer; Mrs. Carrie Brandenburg, chaplain; Mrs. Jennie Eaton, sergeant; Roland Goble, master-at-arms; H. C. Stock, I. D.; Roy Clabaugh, O. D.; C. H. Thayer and J. H. Clabaugh, finance committee. Installation will be the first meeting in January. Proper Thinning of Avocados Is Urged It is evident that if avocado growers are to realize even fair prices this season the fruit of late varieties must be thinned so that it will attain size. Early varieties, too, that are not yet approaching maturity may without doubt be profitably thinned. All scarred or blemished fruit should be at once removed and enough other fruit to permit the balance left on the tree to attain at least fair size for the variety. The local market is already glutted with small-sized fruit, causing prices to decline to a point that is causing consternation, not only among growers, but among dealers. County agricultural agents should use their influence at once to get the grower to realize conditions, not only on the local market, but also on markets east of the mountains. Here a considerable quantity of small and blemished fruit has always been disposed of at fair prices, but this year, before the crop has fairly begun to move, fruit is already going to decay because of lack of demand to absorb all that is offered. Very little small or blemished fruit can be sold at remunerative prices on the large markets of the Central West or the East, and what is sold detracts from the price of fruit of size and quality. Practically no avocados are coming to market that will pack better than 16s, 10 ozs. and up, while the trade is calling for 12s, 13 ozs. and up and larger sizes. West Indian fruit is still on the market and there is a considerable quantity of Florida fruit yet to come forward. Dealers east of the mountains want mostly avocados that will compare favorably with Florida fruit; that is, fruit of good size. High oil content does not yet seem to be much appreciated there, regardless of the contents of experts and scientists here. These dealers are only asking for what the consumer demands, so if their orders are to be filled the grower here must of necessity produce the fruit. Advertising or writing that the smaller varieties produced here are of better quality than the larger ones from the South will at this time have little influ- Click has no means of identifying the man, who was not masked, but the night was dark and he was struck before he had time to realize that an attempt was being made to rob him.

Clabaugh, finance committee. Installation will be the first meeting in January. John Johnson is back from the Dale mining district for a short stay with relatives. Always an enthusiastic believer in the future of this mining camp, he is more so than ever, and holds the opinion that it will shortly eclipse all other mining towns in the state. Capital is coming in and the district is experiencing a boom. Mr. Johnson contemplates returning to the mines soon after the holidays. Wm. Schumacher went to Newport Beach on Saturday morning to engage in a two-days' hunt for birds. He reports that he has seen overhead birds enough to supply the entire district of Southern California, but where they go on alighting is more than he has been able to discern. Ducks and geese are scarce in and out of shooting preserves, and William is of the opinion they have found new feeding grounds in interior lakes or on the Colorado river. He got nine birds in two days. A total of 532 carloads of celery have been shipped from the Peatlands this season; establishing a record in the history of the industry since its establishment in this country. The growers receive for this amount $32,000, practically all of which has already been paid by the California Vegetable Union, which is handling the crop this year. Mrs. M. D. Katz and daughter, and Mrs. R. Anker and sons of Riverside were the guests of their sisters, Mesdames William Falkenstein and I. Asher on Wednesday. Tony Walters this week shipped several crates of fine strawberries to San Diego. Mr. Walters has signed a contract with the Harvey eating houses on the line of the Santa Fe to supply them with melons and vegetables and will go into the business on a large scale. The engagement is announced of Johnny Cleveland, formerly of this city, to Miss Alice Wood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wood of San Diego. The wedding will occur early in the new year. Emil Fossek is here from Santa Rosa for a short visit with relatives after having been absent a year and a half. The Fraternal Aid Association elected new officers as follows at its last meeting: John Eymann, president; Mrs. R. Seale, vice-president; Frank Gates, secretary; John Schumacher, treasurer; Mrs. Lindley, observer; H. A. Dickel, Richard Melrose, Mrs. Parks, trustees. A banquet followed the business session and a musical program was rendered by various members, the evening proving a thoroughly delightful one. Dr. H. A. Johnston, and family returned yesterday afternoon from a ten-day's outing at Newport Beach. Dean Immel to Speak On Speaking Picture Dean Ray K. Immel of the School of Speech of the University of Southern California is to read a paper on "The Speaking Picture" at the national convention of Teachers of Speech to be held in Chicago December 27th to 29th.

Johnston and family returned yesterday afternoon from a ten-days' outing at Newport Beach. William Heying has bought the residence of Veit Bentz for $1000. William McCann has sold his 20-acre place west of town to Mr. Murphy, a newcomer here, for $1400. Assemblyman Amerige has returned from a few months' visit to Massachusetts. He has shaved his mustache and in other aspects seems to be doing quite well. H. C. Gade has begun the erection of a $1350 residence on his Elementina street property. James Enearl has the contract. At the conclusion of the hearing of the testimony and argument Saturday in regard to the contested fees in the final account of the Tomas A. Yorba estate, Judge West issued an order reducing the fees from $7000 to $5000. Patrons of the meat markets in town have been regaled with the finest meats, fowl and game. At the Palace Market F. W. Fleischman outdid himself in Christmas decoration. He was ably assisted by Chris Yehrman. At the Center Market F. C. Martin proved that when it comes to decorating he is in it himself, for seldom has a more tasty decoration been seen in the county. At the City Market W. Schumacher had the finest display of meats and fowls he has yet exhibited. People in this vicinity who have patronized the markets during the week will long remember the rare excellencies in the line of meats and game in display at our markets. The Apex nine of Los Angeles defeated Olinda at Athletic park on Sunday afternoon, the score being 11 to 8. Mrs. Frank Baum and Mrs. Joseph Dauser are visiting in Los Angeles, the guests of Mrs. Armbruster. Dean Ray K. Immel of the School of Speech of the University of Southern California is to read a paper on "The Speaking Picture" at the national convention of Teachers of Speech to be held in Chicago December 27th to 29th. The speech, prepared by Milton Sills, is star and former member of the faculty of the University of Chicago, is the first of a series of talking picture addresses planned for the use of educational institutions by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science of Hollywood. Constituting a practical demonstration of talking pictures for informative purposes, the Vitaphone speech in its recorded form was made possible through the co-operation of Warner Brothers. The Eastman Kodak company and Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc., who has secured the use of a Chicago theatre for a morning session of the conclave. Marking a new departure in the circulation of public addresses, the convention speech also inaugurates a program of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for active cooperation with higher educational institutions. "A cultural course for colleges on the subject of motion pictures has been formulated by the Academy's College Affairs committee in advisement with university authorities," states Milton Sills, chairman of the committee. "It will be given its initial test with the opening of the February semester of the University of Southern California. A number of lectures in the course will be delivered by prominent picture people, and will be permanently recorded. Pending the equipment of colleges for showing sound pictures, it is anticipated that class sessions may be held in neighboring theatres." In eye-filling size... PLYMOUTH gives evidence of Greater Dollar Value PLYMOUTH, with its large, roomy bodies, and generous wheelbase gives far more in seating comfort and riding ease than has ever before been obtainable in the lowest-priced field. Not only a full-size car, but far more distinctive due to new slender-profile chromium-plated radiator, "air-wing" fenders and arched windows conforming to pleasing body contours. Still further emphasizing Plymouth value are the power, speed and smoothness of the "Silver-Dome" high-compression engine, using any gasoline; and the safety of internal-expanding hydraulic 4-wheel brakes—the only car at its price with such equipment. Merely to see the new Plymouth is to know its very evident superiority in style, quality and luxury. To drive it is to confirm your impression that in its price class no other automobile dollar gives as great return as the dollar invested in Plymouth. $675 AND UPWARDS Roadster (with rumble seat) $675, Coupe $685, Touring $695, 2-Door Sedan $700, De Luxe Coupe (with rumble seat) $735, 4-Door Sedan $735.
