IN THE DAYS OF 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. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 8, 1879. At the meeting of the Anaheim Water Company on Saturday the committee reported that they had made arrangements with Mr. Morton for a right-of-way for a ditch through Block 5. In regard to the petition of J. W. Clark, the committee reported that a ditch could be made around Clark's land at very little cost. The Zanjero was ordered to make the ditch. He was also ordered to make a ditch on the north side of Broadway, between Mr. Kelly's land and the Grange store, to bring water on Mr. Guinn's land. The committee on connection with Cajon ditch reported that they will probably be able to make a final report on Saturday. The secretary was ordered to advertise for proposals to do the carpenter work on the connecting ditch, and also for bids for hauling the lumber. A meeting of Democrats was held at Magnolia Hall on last Friday evening, and resulted in the organization of "The Anaheim Democratic Club." A. W. Steinhart called the meeting to order. Chas. S. Miles was elected temporary chairman and A. W. Steinhart secretary. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws, after which the meeting adjourned until the evening of Monday, March 10th. On last Thursday night two of Frank Porter's horses were stolen from his farm north of town. They were recovered yesterday in the Los Nietos country by one of Marshal Wartenberg's Anaheim Hall Saturday by a Merritt of Anaheim follows: 880-years, 2 minutes, 25 seconds.

On last Thursday night two of Frank Porter's horses were stolen from his farm north of town. They were recovered yesterday in the Los Nietos country by one of Marshal Wartenberg's deputies, whom he had ordered to search in that direction. The thieves had evidently abandoned the stock on finding themselves closely pursued. LATER—It now appears that the horses found at Los Nietos and supposed to be those stolen from Mr. Porter were not his. A few nights ago four horses, some clothing and valuable papers were stolen from the sheep camp of Manuel Silva about a mile from town. The robbers also killed a goat that was tied nearly opposite Messrs. Look & Co.'s slaughter house and carried away the body, leaving the head for the rightful owner. General Stoneman arrived in town on Thursday night, and yesterday drove to the coal mine. The General says that he has taken our statements as to Anaheim's exemption from frost with several grains of allowance, but that he is convinced by personal observation that our claim of immunity is a just and truthful one. Stick a pin there. Mr. J. Yoch of St. Louis, Mo., a heavy stockholder in the Black Star Coal Company, has sent a thoroughly experienced coal miner to act as a foreman of the company's mine. This will insure the scientific development of the mine, and its rapid and economical working. Deputy Sheriff Barham has served subpoenas on the following citizens to serve on the Grand Jury, which meets on the 10th inst.: P. C. McKinnie and J. J. Hill, Anaheim; S. M. King and G. O. Thomas, Orange. For term trial jurors, to meet on the 24th: Peter Hansen, A. J. Brown, P. J. Shaffer, F. Conrad and A. T. Ferdon. An informal meeting of the Anaheim Literary Society was held in Magnolia Hall last evening. It was decided to hold regular weekly meetings hereafter. The following question was chosen for discussion at the meeting to be held tomorrow evening at 7:30: Resolved, That wealth exerts more influence than knowledge. Affirmative, Mendelson, Beebe, Guinn; negative, Wiley, Ferguson, McFadden. The question of adopting the new constitution of California will be discussed at some meeting of the society in the near future. Mr. John Hanna has this year seventy-five acres of his farm in oats. Last year he raised a ton of this crop to the acre, and when oats were ranging in the San Francisco market from $1.10 to $1.40, his crop sold for $1.37½, only 2½ cents less than the very best sold for. People will yet learn that other grains than barley can be raised here. Mr. O.

Fremont, and Judge Charles Silent, arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday, en route to Washington, D.C. Mr. Charles Niles of Los Angeles has received a small importation of Poland pigs which he can recommend as being the best Poland China stock ever brought to this southern country. The Episcopal social will be held at the residence of Mrs. J. J. Hill on Thursday evening. Seventy-five pounds of butter per week is made at Mr. John Hanna's dairy. Mr. Herman Cohn, secretary of the Anaheim Fire Department, has received a proposition from a Chicago firm to sell a hand-engine. They have on hand three engines which they will guarantee to be as good as new. One can be bought for $450 and the other for $600—one-half the price of new engines of the same pattern. Mr. Bennerscheidt is going to San Francisco next week and will examine some second-hand engines in that city. The fire company at their next meeting will "wrastle" with the problem of how to get money enough together to purchase an engine, and it is to be hoped that they will be able to hit upon some plan whereby this great public necessity can be secured. Mr. J. K. Tuffree informs us that the feed on the Stearns Ranchos this year will be plentiful. The outlook for stock raisers is better this year than it has been for a long time. An artesian well is being bored on that part of Mr. S. Dicken's land on the Coyotes Rancho, 5½ miles from town, which is leased by Mr. H. H. Stanley. It is now down to a depth of 150 feet. The Episcopal social will be held at the residence of Mrs. J. J. Hill on Thursday evening.

Falkenburg, head council of the order, addressed a large gathering at the armory. Mr. Falkenburg, accompanied by J. H. Foley, head advisor of the order, arrived on the evening train. The gentlemen were met by a reception committee of the local camp in a tally-ho and driven to the lodge rooms in Backs' Solons Told of Co-operative Plan C. C. Teague Confers With Legislators in Washington President Coolidge and other federal government officials at Washington are well informed concerning the problems of the California citrus industry and of other western agricultural industries according to C. C. eague, president of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and chairman of the tariff commission of the California Citrus League, who has just returned from a visit to Washington on tariff and other business matters. Mr. eague had a conference with President Coolidge and discussed agricultural problems with many of the agricultural and legislative leaders, all of whom were much interested in the successful co-operative marketing methods of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. As chairman of the tariff commission of the league, Mr. eague told the congressional committee that he represented 100 per cent of the California citrus industry. He explained that investigation had proved the industry to be justified in asking for an increase of one-half a cent per pound in the tariff on fresh lemons on a competitive basis alone. California can simply supply the American market for lemons, whereas Italy has sold 17.3 per cent of the lemons consumed here during the past five years. Atariff on times to equal that on omens was asked and protective tariffs on citrus fruit juices and other by-products were included in the briefs presented by the California group. Mr. Teague recounted that the California citrus growers had more than a billion dollars invested in their industry, that they distributed their products over the entire national market maintaining stable and reasonable prices and steady supplies of their popular and healthful oranges and lemons for the public. Woodmen of the World had their inning on Tuesday evening, when Hon. F. A. Falkenburg, head council of the order, addressed a large gathering at the armory. Mr. Falkenburg, accompanied by J. H. Foley, head advisor of the order, arrived on the evening train. The gentlemen were met by a reception committee of the local camp in a tally-ho and driven to the lodge rooms in Backs' hall, where an elaborate dinner was served. In the party were B. V. Beebe, council commander; Joseph Backs, clerk; Wm. Falkenstein, J. H. Clabaugh, I. Asher, Dr. Hutchinson, F. Martin, Mr. Fletcher, Louis Kroeger and others. At 8 o'clock the visitors were escorted to the armory, where a large gathering of people had assembled. Mr. Falkenburg spoke for an hour. Mr. Foley also made a short address. A feature of the evening was the nail-driving contest participated in by the ladies. The contest was won by Mrs. Overmar of Santa Ana. Mrs. E. H. Adams of this city and Mrs. Zerman of Santa Ana tied for second place. In the second try Mrs. Adams was victorious. The first prize was a case of fine perfume, second a lace collar. Miss Peyton of the high school rendered a vocal selection most acceptably. Music was furnished by the Santa Ana orchestra. Thirty-eight hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Saturday night, beginning at sundown and continuing until 11 o'clock. Never were appearances more auspicious for a drenching, the sky being heavily overcast and wind blowing from the south, yet the looked-for storm fizzled out. Total for the season, 2.80; last season to date, 7.86. And vet, crops are looking well, the little rain that has fallen has come at opportune moments, and has kept crops growing. With the looked-for soaker and showers to fall in this and the next month, we shall be able to look pleasant and keep up appearances. J. B. Neff on Saturday shipped a package of grafted grape-fruit cuttings to Sonoma county, where they will be used for experimental purposes. Mr. Neff has sent to different parts of the state during the year cuttings of grafts sufficient to grow 10,000 trees, and has supplied during the same time 1500 pounds of grafted walnuts for planting purposes. He is now completing the work of putting in three-quarters of a mile of cement ditches on his ranch. Herman Dickel shipped a box of Anaheim's sweetest oranges to his mother, who lives at the old home on the Rhine. The fruit was carefully picked and packed and cannot but be an acceptable gift. Miss Claudina Darling, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Darling, who has been very ill for the past two months, is improving slowly. Henry Adams reports business brisk at the Griffith Lumber yards. More lumber is being received and more building going on than for years, and business is good and promises to stay so. Madame Mojeska arrived from Los Angeles on Tuesday, on brief visit to friends. She was the guest of Mrs. Langenberger. She departed yesterday for her ranch in Santiago Canyon, where the lemons consumed here during the past five years. Atariff on lines to equal that on omens was asked and protective tariffs on citrus fruit juices and other by-products were included in the briefs presented by the California group. Mr. Teague recounted that the California citrus growers had more than a billion dollars invested in their industry, that they distributed their products over the entire national market maintaining stable and reasonable prices and steady supplies of their popular and healthful oranges and lemons for the public. The supply and demand for lemons during the recent flu situation was used by Mr. Teague as an example of how the California industry is prepared to serve the public. The California Fruit Growers Exchange lemon shipments during January were 152 per cent above normal—the urgent demand was fully supplied and at moderate prices. Speculative shippers of foreign lemons attempted to get fruit into New York for the strong market, but their supplies arrived late and are now selling below the American cost of production. THE STOCK ENGIMA That engima, the stock market, still puzzles, alarms, beguiles, enriches and threatens to impoverish it. It has improved upon the poker face, judging from the many diverse and conflicting opinions regarding it. The growing multitude that is hunting in Wall Street for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow is moving in the dark. The man who wishes at this juncture to buy securities for speculation or investment is finding it increasingly difficult to obtain useful advice or guidance. The financial doctors are violently divided in opinion. One banking group insists that credit is not being strained and that securities in general are not overpriced. Another talks vehemently of dangerous inflation and impending woe of the lambs. Each is light according to its lights. However, there are some significant draws in the deceptive current. They are important enough to warrant causal study by speculator and investor. We significant draw is the $2,000,000.-0 in call loans made in New York by dependent tenants operating outside conventional lending channels. Anser is fast that the volume of debt required to sustain the present weering structure of securities prices rising toward $7,000,000,000. If federal reserve board feels it necessary discourage so large a use of unproductive credit, the matter deserves serious concern on the part of the investing public. Market fluctuations of the last few weeks have been eccentric enough to broadcast the impression that if and when the predicted crash comes it will not carry all with it. There are many stocks which could go still higher with out being inflated beyond their real value. FARM RELIEF Miss Claudina Darling, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Darling, who has been very ill for the past two months, is improving slowly. Henry Adams reports business brisk at the Griffith Lumber yards. More lumber is being received and more building going on than for years, and business is good and promises to stay so. Madame Mojeska arrived from Los Angeles on Tuesday, on a brief visit to friends. She was the guest of Mrs. Langenberger. She departed yesterday for her ranch in Santiago Canyon, where she will spend some time in rest and recreation after an arduous theatrical season. Adair Scott came down from Los Angeles yesterday, looking after the sale of walnut property hereabouts. Scotty is making money in the real estate business in the Angelic burg. Oscar Renner was passing around the cigars this week. Cause: Arrival of a new son and heir born on Thursday, Feb. 25. Mrs. C. B. Tuffree has gone to Barstow on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Pittman. Sydmer Ross of Placentia has renounced his allegiance to King Edward and has become a citizen of the United States. Mr. Ross came here from Canada a number of years ago and is well qualified intellectually and in other respects to become a first-class citizen of the Republic. Richard Schellens has returned from Hollywood and accepted a position with the Ganahl Lumber company. Mrs. Alfred W. Rannels, formerly Miss Clara Hansen, is here from Mexico on a brief visit to her parents. Dr. Johnston has approved plans and specifications for a modern office building to be erected at the corner of Los Angeles and Broadway. Contract will be awarded within a few weeks and the building will be ready for occupancy some time during the summer. H. C. Gade, while engaged in unloading freight at the Santa Fe depot yesterday, had the misfortune to sustain the mashing of the great toe of his left foot, by the falling upon it of a weighty package of steel. He was about town in the afternoon, with the assistance of canes, but the doctor says he will have a bad foot for two months or more. FARM RELIEF After eight years of argument to convince big business statesmen and politicians that there is a farm problem and that it is a national problem, it now seems that something will be accomplished. The industrial conference board, the United States chamber of commerce, both major political parties and the President-elect of the United States, all have admitted the problem, have admitted the government's responsibility in assisting to work out the solution and have promised that its solution will be attempted in earnest. Mr. Hoover will call a special session of congress for that purpose at which the following program has been prepared for consideration: 1. Higher tariffs on farm products on import basis—livestock, dairy products, meats, corn, oilseeds and so forth. 2. Lower transportation cost. 3. Government aid for co-operative marketing; guidance and assistance in orderly marketing through the farmers co-operative marketing associations (including financial assistance in initiating). 4. Curbing of grain gambling. 5. The equivalent in effect of a protective tariff for surplus farm products (those on an export basis), coupled with a brake on overproduction. All these may be adopted except the curbing of grain gambling. That affects Wall Street and other speculators and interferes with their business. Yet the fact is that all foodstuffs should be barred from the field of speculation. We want it strictly understood that when it comes to mince pie, we stand with the fundamentalists.
