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 JANUARY 25, 1879 At the meeting of the Anaheim Water Company on Saturday H. Knapke was re-elected zanjero for the ensuing year, and the secretary was instructed to draw up a contract to be signed by Mr. Knapke. The committee on right of way for the connecting ditch reported that, the necessary deeds had not yet been secured, but that the matter would probably be arranged this week. The committee was given full power to act in the premises and bring thamatter to a conclusion. The secretary was instructed to submto different lumber dealers an estimate of the amount of lumbwhich will be required in constructing the connecting ditch, and ask them to make a bid to furnish the same. Before the meeticonvened the secretary, Mr. Fischer, sold the 26 shares of delinquent stock, which were purchased by the company. In the evening he also made a settlement with the Cajon Company and received a deed of a half interest in the ditch. The strong wind which prevailed on Saturday afternoon militated greatly against the pleasure of both players and spectators of the match game between the Anaheim and Garden Grove baseball clubs, and effectually prevented any brilliant playing. Folilowing is the score: Anaheim, Capt. W. S. Fish—39. Garden Grove, Capt. J. Harvey—27. Umpire, E. Claridge; scorers, Fred J. Fischer and E. F. McDowell. We are requested to impress upon members of the Anaheim club the necessity of making a more prompt appearance on the grounds whenever a game is to be played. It is probable that the Anaheim club will visit Garden Grove in a couple of weeks, and The strong wind which prevailed on Saturday afternoon militated greatly against the pleasure of both players and spectators of the match game between the Anaheim and Garden Grove baseball clubs, and effectually prevented any brilliant playing. Following is the score: Angheim, Capt. W. S. Fish—39. Garden Grove, Capt. J. Harvey—27. Umpire, E. Claridge; scorers, Fred J. Fischer and E. F. McDowell. We are requested to impress upon members of the Anaheim club the necessity of making a more prompt appearance on the grounds whenever a game is to be played. It is probable that the Anaheim club will visit Garden Grove in a couple of weeks, and give the club of that place an opportunity to "get even." In another column will be found the advertisement of the "City Drug Store," of which Messrs. Ferguson & Lake are proprietors. The store is fitted up with great taste and all the drugs are fresh and guaranteed to be pure. Mr. Ferguson is a young man who is so favorably known here that an introduction would be superfluous. Mr. Lake is a brother of W. H. Lake of Santa Ana and has come to make his home in Anaheim permanently. The new firm start out with every prospect of a successful business career. We regret to announce the death of Chas. A. Hanna, second son of John Hanna, Esq., which occurred on Tuesday. He was a universal favorite, endearing himself to all who knew him. Some months ago he was baptized by the Rev. Mr. Trew, a step which marked the strength of his convictions and the reality of his Christian faith. He was buried on Thursday, the funeral services taking place at the Episcopal church. A refrigerator car arrived at the depot last night. R. H. Look and Company will fill it with dressed mutton for the San Francisco market. Next week we will give an extended notice of the car and the enterprise. Robt. W. Scott, Esq., purchased the north half of Block E, in Orange, at the administrator sale on last Saturday. The land belonged to the estate of Henry Jansen and comprises 20 acres. John G. Allen, a son of Gabriel Allen of Los Angeles, was shot and killed last week at Lerdo Colony, seventy miles below Yuma on the Colorado. His murderer, Andres Molino, escaped. On last Thursday the jewelry store of Mariano Moyo, in Short street, Los Angeles, just beyond the old church, was burglarized and six watches, five revolvers, a lot of jewelry and $200 in cash were carried off. Rev. W. A. Knighten, formerly of Orange, who has for some time past been under the care of an oculist in San Francisco, is rapidly recovering his sight, and a permanent cure is anticipated. Among the shipments from the depot on Monday were two caulds of grain, and a large lot of hides, forwarded by Mr. Isaac Cohen. The trial of Uriah Humphrey, charged with the murder of E. W. Domeny in Gospel Swamp, has been set for February 26. We acknowledge the pleasure of a call from Mr. F. Upson of Centralia. The possibilities of this county find an apt illustration in the gentleman's farm.

The possibilities of this county find an apt illustration in the gentleman's farm. Four years ago a barren plain, and now covered with such orchards and shrubbery as would take half a lifetime to produce in any other country. Samuel Meyer, dealer in crockery and glassware, Los Angeles, has failed and rumor places his liabilities at $30,000. Mr. Meyer was one of the oldest and most respected merchants in Los Angles and his failure is generally regretted. The deficit in the accounts of the ex-city tax collector of Los Angeles is now known to be in the neighborhood of $17,000. The property of his sureties has been attached and it is said that it is of sufficient value to make good the defalcations. The unfortunate bondsmen are H. C. Wiley, Wm. Abbott, B. Dudourdieu, M. Morris, Adreas Machado, I. Cohen, Romulo Pico, Wolf Kalisher, John E. Jackson and Rosa Signoret, executrix of the estate of Felix Signoret. Mr. Herman Cohn has received an assortment of masks, from which almost every taste can be suited. Shoould any special mask be desired Mr. Cohn will cheerfully send for it. We believe it would be an excellent idea for some of our farmers to raise a small quantity of sugar beets and ship them to one of the beet sugar factories of the state, where they could be tested, it having been stated that sugar made from beets grown on alkali soil will not granulate. We believe to the contrary. Let the matter be tested. If found to be satisfactory, such a test would add greatly to our chances of obtaining a beet sugar factory somewhere in this vicinity. Our friend, Professor Roques, has opened a class for the study of French and a number of Anaheim’s young bloods will be initiated in the mysteries of parley—voo forthwith. 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 JANUARY 21, 1904 Stockholders of the First National Bank held their annual meeting last Tuesday and elected the old board of directors, consisting of W.

During the day numerous friends called to wish the worthy couple many happy returns of the day. Of the twenty-eight guests at the wedding, only two remain in Anaheim. Mr. and Mrs. Grimshaw are among our most highly respected citizens and have many friends who join in extending felicitations appropriate to the occasion. Twenty-five years ago the editor of this journal was presented with a slice of the wedding cake, and this week the same august personage again received a slice of the silver wedding cake, baked according to the same receipt, so Mrs. Grimshaw informs us, and on the same pan used upon the original happy occasion. We shall hope to receive a slice of the golden wedding cake and hope the worthy couple and their family may continue in the enjoyment of their happy wedding bliss, and that prosperity and happiness unlimited may be their lot.

We shall hope to receive a slice of the golden wedding cake and hope the worthy couple and their family may continue in the enjoyment of their happy wedding bliss, and that prosperity and happiness unlimited may be their lot. One of the most enjoyable social affairs of the season occurred on Thursday afternoon, when Mrs. Konig entertained the Ladies' Euchre Club, and a number of invited guests from this city and Santa Ana, at her handsome home on Los Angeles street. The house was beautifully decorated with pink carnations, ferns and crepe tissue paper. The carnations and ferns were from the Redondo greenhouses and were exceptionally fine. Progressive euchre was played and prizes were won by the following ladies: Mrs. Adolph Rimpau, the first club prize, a sofa pillow of Mexican drawn work; Mrs. Frank Shanley, second, a drawn work doily; Miss Dora Zeyn, consolation, a candlestick. The first guests's prize, a beautiful pin-cushion, was won by Mrs. Enderly of Santa Ana and the consolation, a vase, by Miss Winifred Melrose. After the game of cards delicious refreshments were served and at a late hour the guests took leave of their hostess with pleasant recollections of a happy afternoon. Max Nebelung, Alex Wright and Geo. A. Ruddock, composing the Board of Audit of the Anaheim Union Water Company, are at work upon the books of the corporation at Secretary Krick's office.

Tipton, secretary; L. E. Miller, treasurer; Bird V. Beebe and W. S. Spake, directors. The wrench is the invention of Mr. Spake and has not yet been put on the market. The meeting decided to take active steps toward placing it upon the market. L. Nemetz on Tuesday purchased from H. Kolm the lot recently purchased by the latter at the corner of Center and Emily street from R. Melrose. Mr. Kolm had in view the opening of a grocery store, but concluded that the field is pretty well covered. He will reside in Los Angeles. Mr. Nemetz contemplates erecting a commodious dwelling upon the site. Stephen Rimpau arrived home this week from Berkeley, where he has been taking a course in mining engineering. He will leave in a few days for the mining regions where he goes to get some practical experience before returning to his studies. A period of drought extending over 107 days was broken on Sunday evening, when .21 of an inch fell between 7 and 8 o'clock. No rain had fallen in Orange county since October 1st. The precipitation brings the total for the season to date up to .60 of an inch. Last year to date we had 4.63 inches. There is yet time for a downpour sufficient to insure crops. Snow fell upon the mountains for the first time this season. The weather has been clear since the rain. The first white frost appeared on Tuesday morning.

The first white frost appeared on Tuesday morning. Dr. McFarland, a veterinary surgeon from Oklahoma is a new arrival. He has opened an office on Center street, in the premises formerly occupied by Dr. Bickford. John Brunworth reports a plenty of water, streams running night and day.

The marriage took place in Falls City and after the honeymoon the young couple will reside in Long Beach. Mrs. Lorinda Passmore died on Thursday at her home in Olive, aged 72.

The trustees of the Methodist church held a meeting last week at which they decided to remodel the cottage next to the church which they recently purchased for a parsonage. The contract will be let immediately and a modern cottage built. Work has begun upon E. W. McCullum's new residence on Philadelphia street and Capt. Ahlborn is erecting a residence on Adele street, opposite the new home of Fred Backs. E. B. Forster was in town from Centralia a day or two ago. He has been under the weather of late, but is rapidly recovering his aforetime vigorous health. Californian Named On Organization California's enterprise in protecting and advancing the welfare of her farmers has received another recognition. Frank E. Todd, of the state department of agriculture in charge of apiary inspection in the state, has been named on a special committee to help perfect the national association of state apiary inspectors. Other members of the committee are from New Jersey, Ohio, and North Dakota. California inspection and methods for the control of the honey producer's worst enemy, foul brood, have elicited approval from agricultural authorities in many states and are being regarded as most efficient. The national association of state apiary inspection officials is expected to promote uniformity of regulatory measures and legislation affecting the beekeeping industry and to avoid conflicting interpretation and practice in problems interstate in character. The organization will be affiliated to some extent with the American Honey Producers' League, according to present plans. A New York woman posed for sixty years as a man and completely fooled the people of her home town. Wonder how she managed to keep quiet so long.
