IN THE DAYS OF LOCATION 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 in 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FEBRUARY 8, 1879. Although only a fraction over three inches of rain have fallen so far this season, the "oldest inhabitant" cannot remember the time when the crops looked better, or when things agricultural looked more promising. Despite the cold weather, the grass is growing luxuriantly, the volunteer barley is making a steady growth and matters in general are in a very satisfactory condition. The rains have fallen quite generally in the upper counties lately, and we should judge from the tone of the press that good crops will be made in most of the northern counties. Per contra, a letter received from Judge Evey dated at Sacramento January 31st, says that prospects for a crop in the north are very poor. Mr. John Given has sown six hundred acres in Odessa wheat, and is very sanguine of its making a successful growth. So certain is he that it is impervious to rust that he has told farmers who bought small quantities of seed that he will refund the money to them if the wheat rusts. Mr. Given has sent samples of this wheat to San Francisco, and it was rated there as worth $1.40 to $1.45, when other wheat was quoted at $1.55 to $1.65. But this difference in price is more than made up by the superior yield of Odessa over other wheat—the average yield being 2,250 pounds to the acre. We shall be able next season to make an interesting comparison both as to quality and yield of Club and Odessa wheat, as Mr. Gelivicks has sown four hundred acres of the former variety northeast of town. We are glad to be able to announce that Mr. Wm. R. Olden Names of boys highest standing in school: Arnold Dick Gertrude Asher, Lilli Viola Susmil, Raymo Freda Grice, Arnold Weisel, Mable Rush, Lois Blake, Maria A Chellan, Elton Gobleman, George Hatfield seean, teacher. The annual meet at the city hall Thursday of seven directors to full attendance and those men who are to The old board We are glad to be able to announce that Mr. Wm. R. Olden will attend the fruit exhibition at Riverside on the 12th and 13th inst. as a representative of this section. He desires to take with him samples of oranges and lemons grown in Anaheim, and those of our readers who have superior fruit of this kind are requested to give a sample to Mr. Olden not later than Monday, the 10th, and he will see that they are exhibited at the fair. It is desirable also that each sample be accompanied by a card upon which is written the age of the tree, the variety and, if budded, the kind of root, etc. We hope that the response to this notice will be hearty and liberal, and that in the report to be made by the Riverside Committee Anaheim oranges will be accorded honorable mention. The second game of baseball between the Anaheim and Garden Grove clubs came off at the latter place last Saturday and was well attended. The Groveites were successful, scoring 35 tallies against 27 for the Anaheimers. Head and Jasper for the Groveites and Fish, Hanna and Glasscock for Anaheim did good work. The umpire, H. Mosbaugh gave complete satisfaction. The third and deciding game between these two clubs will be played on the baseball grounds in town on the 22nd inst., when we hope our boys will show to better advantage. They will play a practice game next Saturday, contesting the Saturday following with the Orange baseball club. The Los Angeles Star says: "A little town like Anaheim cannot be expected to do much in the way of 'jobs,' but it manages to illustrate the principle which is recognized throughout the country. The contract for the janitorship of the school house was set for $15 per month, sub-let for $10, and finally $5 was paid a third man for two and one-half months' service. Then there was an order drawn against the district for $37.50 to cover all the transactions." Our contemporary has got things mixed. Anaheim is innocent of the great transgression. It was in that ungodly town of Santa Ana that the little transaction referred to occurred. We saw yesterday one of those $100 Eastern built buggies, which needed the firm embrace of several strands of hay rope to hold it together. If there is any moral to this it is that for a good article you must pay a good price, and that a buggy built by a local mechanic will outwear any Eastern made vehicle. So assured are the managers of the Masquerade Ball that the attendance will justify a little extra outlay, that they propose to decorate the hall in a manner never before attempted, and after plans received from San Francisco. Every day brings assurances that the party will be an unbounded success. Some of the costumes we know will be rich beyond all expectations. Miles Bros. intend the coming season to plant a part of their 400-acre tract north of town in orange trees. It is within the range of possibility that they will yet carry out their original scheme of laying out wide avenues through the tract and border So assured are the managers of the Masquerade Ball that the attendance will justify a little extra outlay, that they propose to decorate the hall in a manner never before attempted, and after plans received from San Francisco.

Miles Bros. intend the coming season to plant a part of their 400-acre tract north of town in orange trees. It is within the range of possibility that they will yet carry out their original scheme of laying out wide avenues through the tract and border them with evergreen shade trees. An increase in attendance in the public schools lately has compelled the trustees to decide upon employing an additional teacher. The fourth room in the new school house will be furnished and the new department inaugurated in about a month. San Benito has a delinquent tax list of $8,950. Santa Barbara has about $15,000 delinquent, while Anaheim has a delinquent tax list of about $50. Mr. John P. Zeyn returned from San Francisco on Wednesday. He confirms the view heretofore expressed in these columns that this section of the state is attracting great attention, because of the superior agricultural prospects of the present season. At Sespe, two hundred and twenty-five barrels of oil were pumped out of the well owned by the Los Angeles Oil company in twenty-four hours. It yields steadily one hundred and twenty barrels every twenty-four hours. It is said that the Lafayette Hotel in Los Angeles will be opened about the 1st of March by Messrs, Hammel & Denker, at present the lessees of the U. S. Hotel. A cameo breast-pin was picked up on the floor of the Episcopal church after services on Sunday last. The loser can recover it by applying at the home of Rev. Mr. Trew. The return game of the Anaheim and Garden Grove baseball clubs will be played on the grounds of the latter club, at Garden Grove, next Saturday. Somebody stole a canary from Mr. Roque's house on Thursday. The only redeeming feature in the transaction is the fact that the larcenest didn't take the cage.

There was a full attendance and much interest was shown in the selection of those men who are to be at the head of the body for a year. The old board of directors first met and wound up its affairs. Southern Navels Meet Expectations California Oranges Continue to Outsell Florida Fruit By Wide Margin Earlier statements of the Exchange Sales Department and Field Department that the navel orange crop this season is one of the best in history for both eating quality and appearance, were fully justified for both early northern fruit and the big southern crop. Judging from results to date. Southern navels are reported to be giving complete consumer satisfaction and it is expected that extensive Sunkist advertising and the merchandising work being done by the Exchange in co-operation with the trade will materially aid in the size problem. Most shippers in California are picking for size and the average size is therefore slightly larger each week. Latest reports indicate that in many sections Florida shippers are starting to clean their groves. Not only did Central-Northern California navel shippers have a successful season, but the trade also enjoyed a very satisfactory holiday business. The Exchange shipped this season 77 per cent of this early navel crop; an increase of 1 per cent over last season. There were 4,064 care of Southern California navel oranges shipped to January 9 this season, compared with 1,231 care last year and 3,190 cars in 1927; to the same date. Based on the estimated southern navel crop of all shippers, the percentage shipped to January 9 this year was 14.5%, compared with 7.3 per cent in 1928; 16.7 in 1927 and 16 per cent in 1926. Based on the government estimate of the Florida crop, that state had shipped to January 5, 29.7 per cent of the estimate compared with an average of 42.5 per cent during the preceding five years. Gropefruit shipments were 37.5 per cent of the estimate compared with an average of 70.7 per cent during the past five seasons. California Fruits Gropefruit Exchange The annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held at the city hall Thursday evening, the purpose being the election of seven directors to serve during the ensuing year. There was a full attendance and much interest was shown in the selection of those men who are to be at the head of the body for a year. The old board of directors first met and wound up its affairs and after they had adjourned the meeting of members was called to order by Secretary Krick. Judge Howard was chosen temporary chairman and Mr. Krick secretary. Nominations for directors were called for and resulted in fifteen names being presented, the nominations including most of the active and progressive members of the board. The first ballot showed that the following seven men had received the highest number of votes all having more than a majority: J. S. Howard, F. E. Ahlborg, C. A. Bissell, G. W. Sandilands, J. P. Hatzfeld, W. P. Hutchinson and P. H. Krick. Mr. Krick declined to attend a selection and it was then found that Frank Baum was next in number of votes received. He also declined to serve and L. E. Miller was on motion unanimously elected to fill the vacant directorship. The new board was organized by unanimously electing Judge Howard as president, C. A. Bissell, vice-president, and G. W. Sandilands secretary and treasurer. After the business session refreshments were served and about an hour was spent in disposing of them and in discussing plans for the improvement of the city. The Chamber of Commerce is in receipt of a letter from A. J. Cook of Pomona College stating that the last series of farmers institutes are to be held in March and April, and that Anaheim may have one if it is desired. Favorable action will probably be taken at the next meeting. C. Schindler's force of mechanics yesterday completed the work of laying cement sidewalks on North Los Angeles street, from Chartres to Sycamore. Frank Stone has a force of mechanics laying sidewalks on South Los Angeles street, from Chestnut to Santa Ana street. The new walks are upon the east side of the street and sidewalks will also be laid upon the west side of the street. New sidewalks will also be laid on Broadway, Philadelphia and Adele streets. Three miles of new sidewalks are now in course of construction or in immediate contemplation. Work upon the office building for the new lumber company will begin this week; lumber for which is expected today. The new yards will be located on Center street, east of Mr. Nemetz's residence and will run eastward to the cannery. Mr. Grim will be in charge of the work. McWilliams and Dunn have contracted for the office building. Contractor Enearl is pushing along work upon the Sherman cottage north of the opera house, and this week Ruiz & Bustamente the artistic painters went to work upon it. Frank Saunders is engaged in lathing and plastering the house. Mr. Enearl has a contract for another cottage to be created on the Minor tract on Olive street, as soon as Mr. Sherman's house is completed. Exanthema A number of orchards of citrus in the county this year have been seriously affected with Exanthema. A very complete discussion of this disease is contained in "Citrus Diseases and Their Control," by Faweett and Lee, from which the following passages are quoted: "Exanthema, also known in Florida ditchick, appears to be a main nutrition disease." When severe, it seriously affects the tree as a whole, wounding and stunting it. "The five most common and conspicuous effects of exanthema are stained criminal branches, stained fruit, small gum nooks in the twigs, dark excreences and multiple buds. In addition to these there may be distorted of Shaped branches, dying back of terminal branches, courses, large dark-green leaves in the first season, changing to small molted leaves in later states, and gum at the center of the fruit at the angle of the radiating divisions or the carpillary walls." Floyd (1917) suggests a working hypothesis: "That the disease is due to the injurious action of some organic chemical compound or compounds obtained from soil upon the growing cells in certain of the plant parts; that these chemicals do not kill the cell but induce abnormal processes in the living matter thereby a particular type of gum formation results; that the organic chemicals are formed by the decomposition of organic matter and that they formed under certain limited conditions." Contractor Enearl is pushing along work upon the Sherman cottage north of the opera house, and this week Ruiz & Bustamente the artistic painters went to work upon it. Frank Saunders is engaged in lathing and plastering the house. Mr. Enearl has a contract for another cottage to be created on the Minor tract on Olive street, as soon as Mr. Sherman's house is completed. J. B. Neff went to San Jacinto on Thursday, accompanying Ezra Thompson, who has been visiting him for some weeks past. Mr. Thompson is troubled with rheumatism and goes to the higher altitude hoping to be benefitted by the change. Mr. Neff returned on Friday. Abraham B. Markel of Eureka has been chosen pastor of the Christian church and will preach his first sermon here on Sunday morning. The topic will be "A Model Sermon," Rev. Markel is a pulpit orator of force and eloquence and will doubtless find work enough to do in this part of the vineyard. Welborn and William Wallon have purchased the Mercereau grocery store and will henceforth conduct the same. The Wallon brothers are well known and popular young men and will, without doubt, make a success of their venture. They will conduct a first-class establishment and solicit a share of the public patronage. Mr. Mercereau will move to Bolsa, where he conducts a store, as well as one at Garden Grove. Wm. Falkenstein left yesterday for a business visit of several days at San Bernardino. W. H. Blennerhassett was down from Los Angeles on Saturday with a sparkler in his shirt bosom that dazzled the eye. Peter Weisel's new 84,500 residence at the corner of Los Angeles and Sycamore streets is ready for the plasterers, who will this week begin the work of lathing and plastering the structure. Mrs. Freise of Los Angeles visited friends in town during the week as the guest of Mrs. N. Hart. Mme. Modjeska is entertaining Miss Tuckilsky at her home in Santiago Canyon.
