IN THE DAYS OF LENT 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 MARCH 1ST, 1879. The first day of Lent (Ash Wednesday) was celebrated at the Episcopal church with appropriate services by Rev. A. G. L. Trew. During Lent there will be afternoon services on Wednesdays and Fridays at 3:30. The services will be followed on Wednesdays by an expository address and on Fridays by choir practice. Miss Libbie Mappa of Los Angeles, who has been sojourning in town with her old-time friend, Miss Nellie Kuchel, for the past week left for home yesterday, accompanied by her whilom hostess leaving us in a sort of blissful nightmare ever since. While she carries with her the God-speed and well-wishes of a bevy of admirers, we brush away a full-grown tear and join in the wishes of all for her speedy return. The “reserves” were out to see them off. Mr. R. Luedke, the jeweler, lately received from the Ansonia Company of Connecticut a number of elegant little clocks of a new and unique pattern. Quite accidentally Mr. Luedke discovered that one of the clocks has a self-illuminating dial, and that the darker the situation in which it finds itself the brighter and more perceptible become the figures on the dial plate. This invention is, we believe, quite new, and it cannot fail to become popular as a night clock. The dial on which the figures are printed is nothing more than thin paper. Behind this paper is the phosphoretic composition, one-sixteenth of an inch thick.

This invention is, we believe, quite new, and it cannot fail to become popular as a night clock. The dial on which the figures are printed is nothing more than thin paper. Behind this paper is the phosphoretic composition, one-sixteenth of an inch thick. In the light there is nothing to distinguish the clock from any other, but as the room is darkened a bluish light is emitted from the face of the clock, and when the surroundings are entirely dark the light is intense, not only showing the figures on the dial, but throwing forward a light which enables one to distinguish any object six or eight inches from the clock. Verily, the world do move. Mr. T. T. Hill of Silverado was in town yesterday. He reports that an election for recorder will be held today. The candidates are P. A. Clark and Mr. Gillette. Mr. Cash Harvey intends to put on a line of stages between Silverado and Anaheim in a week or two. The prospect for a rush to the mines this summer is encouraging. Eight mines in the district are being worked steadily. One-eighth interest in a mine was sold the other day for $50 cash down. Not a very big price, but it must be remembered that the mine was merely located—not a lick had been struck on it. A fine drizzly rain fell on Thursday night and contributed its quota to keeping the soil moist. The crops are yet in excellent condition and one good rain will insure a bountiful harvest. It is said that Mr. Messenger of Orange predicts a flood during the month of March. He doubtless speaks with authority. Izzy, the youngest son of Mr. Phillip Davis, hurt himself severely the other day. He was playing with an open penknife and the blade entered the palm of his hand passing clear through. It was a very painful wound, but he is getting over it with the vigor peculiar to young folks. Mr. B. F. Seibert is attending to the business of the Bank of Anaheim unaided, as his assistant, Geo. B. Shaffer, is in San Diego on a visit to his parents and friends. He went down to the bay city on Tuesday and will be gone a couple of weeks. We hope he will enjoy his well-carned vacation. A lease of the ranchos Centinela and Caural Redondo and the Stuart tract for three years from January 1st, 1879, has been made by Sir Robert Burnett, Bart., to Daniel Freeman, executor of the estate of C. G. H. Freeman, deceased. The annual rental is $4,000. A cow belonging to Mr. Wally on the north side of town, on Monday last gave birth to three fine, healthy calves.

Scott, Esq., of Anaheim the compliment of appointing him Commissioner of Deeds for Arizona territory. In the postoffice may be seen a cotton boll culled from a plant grown by Mr. Leonard Parker of Anaheim. There are many Southern people living in this vicinity who say that there is considerable land hereabouts which ought to produce good cotton, and who predict that cotton growing will be one of the industries of this county some time in the future. The old Catholic church was torn down last week and in its place is being put up a very substantial structure 42x20 feet, and 16 feet in height. The new building will be completed in two or three weeks. Mr. Harry Hanna goes to Los Angeles this morning to take a position in the composing room of the Star newspaper. Our best wishes for his success. Messrs. B. Dreyfus and E. L. Goldstein arrived last Tuesday evening from San Francisco. They will remain here two or three weeks. We are indebted to Mr. Gorenflo for a small orange tree limb on which cluster thirty-two ripe oranges. It is the publication of occasional items of this nature that makes Eastern editors refer to us as "trade papers." On Thursday last two men entered Mr. Erwin Barr's orchard and stripped two trees entirely of oranges in such a violent way that the trunk had been split to the ground and the tree seriously injured. The men were arrested and taken before Justice Bailey, who fined them $5.25 each. Married—In Anaheim, February 25, 1879, at the residence of the bride's parents, by Rev. E. Halliday, Mr. E. Schubert to Miss Adelaide Langenberger.

The committee is now practically assured that the Sunday closing is a permanent thing. Our people have tried it and like it and hope to keep it up. One firm in Anaheim has been asked, so we are told, to send a wagon into the Fullerton neighborhood, and they find it pays. This gives the Fullerton families a chance to trade with Sunday closing merchants, if they wish to use their influence that way. While the Fullerton merchants have not closed yet, it is hoped that they will soon. The papers there have kindly opened their columns to the discussion of the matter, and the committee has the backing of four hundred of Fullerton's best people. The school trustees are considering the advisability of erecting a four-room school building near the center of town, to be used for primary pupils. School room is at a premium and the number of pupils is constantly increasing. Additional school rooms will become an absolute necessity before long. The new building will probably be erected during the summer. Mrs. E. F. Cahill of San Francisco is spending the week with relatives in Los Angeles. Mrs. Cahill is a former resident of this city and here Mr. Cahill once conducted a weekly newspaper. His eldest son is going to school at the University, and the younger one is studying civil engineering. Mr. Cahill is one of the star men on the San Francisco Examiner. A sample of French and Italian walnuts has been forwarded State Reports On Motorcop Salaries Universal Pay in All Counties Is Demanded By Heron Inequalities in salaries paid traffic officers by the various counties of California running as high as $275 a month were revealed in a report made public by the State Department of Finance. The report, based on a survey of salaries by fiscal experts of the department, declares "a startling lack of uniformity exists in the pay of the officers, some counties paying as high as $500 a month for traffic captains and others paying only $225 and $250 for the same work." Although the state has recognized this condition for some time, it is powerless to equalize salaries of officers according to Alexander R. Heron, director of finance, inasmuch as the salaries are fixed by the various counties in which the officers are employed. Heron said the situation could be remedied only by some sort of arrangement such as proposed in the Breed bill creating a state-controlled highway patrol. The survey of the experts developed that two counties, Humboldt and Kern, pay their traffic captains $500 and $450 a month respectively, and officers other than captains from $250 to $475 a month, while other counties, such as Placer San Benito and San Luis Obispo pay traffic captains as low as $225 a month, and other officers at proportionate rates. A dozen other counties, including Alameda, Butte, Contra Costa, Kings, Marin, Placer, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Shasta, Sonoma and Ventura, pay captains in range from $225 to $290 a month, and other officers from $200 to $250. "There is apparently little reason for these inequalities inasmuch as the character of the work of the officers is the same in many of the counties where such inequalities exist," says the report. In Alameda county, captains receive $260 a month and officers $210. In the used for primary pupils. School room is at a premium and the number of pupils is constantly increasing. Additional school rooms will become an absolute necessity before long. The new building will probably be erected during the summer. Mrs. E. F. Cahill of San Francisco is spending the week with relatives in Los Angeles. Mrs. Cahill is a former resident of this city and here Mr. Cahill once conducted a weekly newspaper. His eldest son is going to school at the University, and the younger one is studying civil engineering. Mr. Cahill is one of the star men on the San Francisco Examiner. A sample of French and Italian walnuts has been forwarded the local walnut association by United States consuls in those countries, and have been placed by Mr. Rae on exhibition at Dickel's store. Samples include the well-known Grenoble nuts as well as the French walnut, Naples and Marbott varieties. Orange county nuts compared with the foreign importation weigh more, are better filled and are in every way superior. Ygnacio Flores was arrested in Los Angeles and taken back to Santa Ana to answer for a smooth trick that he is alleged to have played there. Walls & Vanderlip, a firm of feed and fuel dealers in Santa Ana, hired Flores to chop a large pile of logs into stove wood. In a very short time Flores appeared, said he had finished the job. The firm inspected the pile of wood and found it all corded up. They paid Flores his money which amounted to more than $100, and he dropped out of sight. Two weeks later when the owners started to haul the wood away, they found that Flores had sawed and split just enough of the logs to cover the rest and that the interior of the piles consisted of whole timber. A warrant for the arrest of Flores on the charge of obtaining money unde rfalse pretenses was sworn out and Johnny Walls, who is a deputy constable, spent much time in trying to find the man. While on business in Los Angeles yesterday, Walls unexpectedly run across Flores and arrested him. Flores was sentenced to spend thirty days in jail. John Hartung, vice-president of the First National Bank, has been confined to his bed during the week with an attack of la gripe, but is recovering. During his illness, Judge Shanley, second vice-president of the bank, represented him. H. A. McWilliams has been confined to his bed during the week with a severe attack of pleurisy. Yesterday Dr. Johnston reported his condition as showing slight improvement, but the patient will probably be confined to his room for several days. A number of citizens appeared before the city trustees at their regular meeting on Tuesday and discussed the propriety of securing land for a public park. Several available locations were offered. Mr. Eymann spoke in favor of the establishment of a public park and urged that due consideration be given to the matter of location. The location advocated (west of the Central school house) did not commend itself to him, as it was out of the way. He thought the land east of the Del Campo hotel was the proper site. It comprised about ten acres and could be bought for $3,250. Judge Howard, from the Chamber of Commerce, spoke in favor of the establishment of a park. He stated the property west of the school house could be bought for $1,800; that interested parties had subscribed $360 to be applied to the purchase price. He also stated that a similar area near the hotel Del Campo could be held for $750. The matter was referred to the committee on A dozen other counties, including Alameda, Butte, Contra Costa, Kings, Marin, Placer, San Joaquin, San Mateo, Shasta, Sonoma and Ventura, pay captains in range from $225 to $290 a month, and other officers from $200 to $250. "There apparently little reason for these inequalities inasmuch as the character of the work of the officers is the same in many of the counties where such inequalities exist," says the report. In Alameda county, captains receive $260 a month and officers $210. In the adjoining county of Contra Costa, however, captains receive $300 a month and officers from $225 to $250. Fresno county pays its captain $290 and its officers $240. The experts found that in Orange county, where much the same conditions of crowded traffic exists, the captain receives $325 a month and his men $275. In Riverside county the captain receives $350 a month and his men $275. In San Diego county the same salary is paid the captain, but his men get only $265. "It is apparent that such a condition inevitably will breed discontent," the report adds. "Offcers in counties paying the lower salaries are likely to regard with envy their more fortunate associates in counties where higher pay is the rule." "It would seem that a uniform salary scale would produce better results in a work that is much the same in all the counties. The high salaries prevailing for officers in a large number of the counties explained by the fact that the officers are required to furnish their own motorcycles and gasoline and oil. Under the present "dual" system, it was explained, neither the state nor the counties has the authority to provide his equipment. The experts declared this arrangement "entirely wrong in principle." "Under this illogical arrangement the officer who rides his beat most during the month will receive the lowest amount of pay, since the expense of operating his motor vehicle comes out of his own pocket," the report says. "It is obvious that this is entirely wrong in principle." Mr. Eymann spoke in favor of the establishment of a public park and urged that due consideration be given to the matter of location. The location advocated (west of the Central school house) did not commend itself to him, as it was out of the way. He thought the land east of the Del Campo hotel was the proper site.

He also stated that a similar area near the hotel Del Campo could be had for $750. The matter was referred to the committee on public improvements for consideration. Ed. Zeus has installed in his livery a new wagonette, with seats on the side, which is down to meet all trains and convey all passengers to the Commercial Hotel. Otto Storm has been offered and has accepted a position as bookkeeper in the First National Bank. Mr. Storm arrived on Tuesday to assume the duties of his new position. Thomas Dietrich has purchased from C. F. Grim and J. H. Bonney a lot on the corner of Elm and Los Angeles streets, and will shortly begin the erection of a $1,700 cottage. Miss Poldie Heimann, formerly of this city, is dangerously ill with typhoid pneumonia at her home in Los Angeles. R. Thiele came down from Los Angeles on a short business trip on Saturday. Eugene Mayer & Co. of the "City of Paris" store in Los Angeles, advertise a long list of prices in today's paper which they will sell without reserve. The Santa Ana Times has entered upon its third volume. May it live and prosper for a thousand years. Miss Runk and Miss Miller of Castleton, N. D., are visiting Joseph Dauser and family. Misses Freda and Katie Backs of Los Angeles visited their parents here over Sunday. Santa Ana.
