IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a C Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic H of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 18, 1879 The Board of Town Trustees held a meeting yesterday, at which it was resolved to purchase land from Mr. M. Oeffinger on which to build a reservoir. The land is 100x216 feet (half an acre), and the price is $125. There are some buildings on it which will have to be removed, which will add $30 or $40 to the cost. The Board will meet again on the 24th inst., and they will then take the necessary stents to solicit promosals for building the reservoir and laying the pipe. Action in the matter of publishing the delinquent tax list was postponed for two weeks, in consequence of the illness of the marshal. Property owners on the principal streets will be called upon in a few days to sign the deeds conveying to the town sufficient land for sidewalks. Uniformity in sidewalks is not only necessary for the convenience of pedestrians, but it also marks the progressive town. It is hoped that all will see the benefit of acquiescing in the request of the Trustees to improve the appearance of the town, and that the deeds will be signed without demur. Yesterday afternoon as Mr. N. H. Mitchell was leading a horse about five miles from town, the rope in some way got under the tail of the animal he was riding. This caused it to "buck" and Mr. Mitchell was thrown. His foot caught in the stirrup and he was dragged some distance. Fortunately the boot was a large one and soon came off, otherwise he would in all liklihood have been killed. As it is he is very badly bruised. Yesterday afternoon as Mr. N. H.

Mr. Hippolyte Cahen has just received from Wm. Niles of Los Angeles, a large supply of "American Poultry Food." It is said to be the very best food which can be given to young chickens. Accompanying the compliments of Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw, was an abundance of wedding cake, which one and all of the Gazette corps partook with great satisfaction. The marriage of Thos. S. Grimshaw and Miss Emma Kraeme occurred on January 16th at the residence of the bride's parent Rev. E. Halliday performed the ceremony. We join with many friends in wishing them a long life of happiness. Mr. Benjamin Rice of Garden Grove made us a pleasant call on Wednesday. He informs us that nearly all of the arable land on the Alamitos has been rented to farmers this year. Corn, Odisca wheat and castor beans are the crops to which special attention will be paid. Mr. D. W. Gelwicks is planting one hundred acres of land northeast of town in club wheat. Experiments heretofore with this wheat have not been attended with success, it being very susceptible to rust. In the probate court on Monday, Mr. Henry Kroeger was appointed administrator of the estate of Christian Kroeger, with bonds fixed at $26,000. The weather is quite unsettled. On Monday afternoon there were several heavy showers, the rain gauge showing a fall of nearly a quarter of an inch. Between 1 and 3 o'clock yesterday there was a very heavy rain. The total for the storm as reported at the depot is 2.21 inches. The receipt of a jar of olives and a bottle of olive oil from Mr. E. A. Saxton will furnish us an opportunity to make some remarks on olive culture next week. We acknowledge the pleasure of a call from Mr. Joseph Beach of Orange. Mr. Beach tells us that the beautiful orange groves of our neighboring town have escaped all injury from frost. Many of the plantings of oranges are just coming into bearing, and it is claimed that the fruit this year is larger than that grown in Los Angeles. The orange crop of Orange county will soon bring riches to the people and fame to the appropriately named community. L. Wartenberg has been appointed guardian of Henry Schwartz, an insane person, upon giving bonds in the sum of $1,000. We acknowledge the pleasure of a call from Mr. Joseph Beach of Orange.

It has several special features of great merit, chief of which is the wonderful troupe of trained dogs, which many of our citizens remember. The city election last Tuesday, says the Yuma Sentinel, was a complete fizzle. We have not yet heard that there was a single candidate for office, a single vote cast, nor that the polls were opened. Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Winfield have rented apartments in the Metz building and will carry on the business of dressmaking. Charles Lathrop of Wilmington was drowned in the channel opposite Timm's warehouse on Sunday last, when a small skiff in which he and another man were endeavoring to cross the stream was upset.

A petition was presented from the Home Telephone company asking that a franchise for operation of their business in this city be advertised for, according to law.

And once again has a Pacific Coast produced gasoline—Richfield "Gasoline of Power"—been selected as the fuel to power a plane in a stunt which will draw the eyes of the world. This was the comment here in aeronautical circles when, on the start of the Army plane, "Question Mark" in its attempt to smash the endurance record by air refuelling, it was stated that Richfield gasoline had been selected as the fuel. Inasmuch as the gasoline is considered the most vital element in connection with any endurance flight; since the flight must have a dependable fuel of the highest quality, Richfield fans—including countless motorists who use nothing else—were elated over its selection by the army officers. It was pointed out at Metropolitan Airport, Los Angeles, where the start was made on the endurance attempt that Richfield is the same gasoline which won the transcontinental record in Art Goebel's nonstop flight, and also holds numerous other records on land and sea, as well as in the air. The "Question Mark" is an Army tri-motored Fokker, powered by three Wright Whirlwinds. The plane remained in the air 150 hours, breaking all records by more than 30 hours.

For those Fevers, Colds and Bowel Troubles of Childhood How time flies. My good mother has gone to her rest, but I have faithfully rifted upon her judgment and have given Syrup Pepsin to two children since they were born. It is certainly a noble man and never fails of its purpose. I like to recommend it (Name and address will be sent upon request). And in the Evening of Life When age comes creeping on, with bowels relaxed, muscles weak, digestion poor and blood thinned, then constipation does its evil work in a night. Do Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is so palatable, gets so well in the stomach, works so easily, so gently, so kindly with old folks as to accomplish its purpose without gore, pain or other distress.
