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 29, 1879. Vine planting has been carried on vigorously in Anaheim the past month. All the spare places in the old vineyards have been planted with cuttings, and many new vineyards have been laid out. Mr. Tim Boege has planted fifteen acres near the depot. Mr. A. Langenberger has put in thirteen acres near the slaughter house and will surround it with a lime hedge. The Zinfindel and Black Hamburg are the principal varieties he has planted. Mr. John P. Zeyn has put out twenty acres of vineyard adjoining that of Mr. Langenberger, and we are told that he will enclose it with a wire fence. Mr. Dreyfus has planted about sixty acres in vines of different varieties, the majority, however, being Malvoisie. This makes an excellent white wine and closely resembles Sauterne. The outlook for vinyardists is highly favorable, and it has infused them with new life and energy. A special meeting of the Anaheim Fire Department was held on last Wednesday. The invitation extended by the 38's engine company to attend their banquet in Los Angeles on next Thursday was accepted and about a dozen of the members announced their intention of being present. Foreman Payne was appointed a committee of one to confer with the Town Trustees and endeavor to secure their aid in purchasing a fire engine and hose. Messrs. Roques, Backs, and Leopold Cohen were appointed a committee to ascertain whether suitable grounds could be obtained for the picnic which the company proposes to give in July. The Santiago Mining Company have commenced active work on their mine, and will vigorously prosecute developments all summer. The board Tuesday evening row.

Roques, Backs, and Leopold Cohen were appointed a committee to ascertain whether suitable grounds could be obtained for the picnic which the company proposes to give in July. The Santiago Mining Company have commenced active work on their mine, and will vigorously prosecute developments all summer. The Isabella mine, Silverado, of which Messrs. J. J. Hill, L. Halberstadt and J. Offinger of Anaheim are the owners, gives the very highest promise of being a rich mine. The assays have been high and the body of ore in sight is immense. Mr. W. Fessenfeld has been visiting the mines at Silverado and returns with the firm conviction that there is an immense deposit of mineral there. Our people are awaiting with great impatience the development of the mines, in the hopes that the prospects will be flattering enough to induce the erection of a mill here. At the meeting of the Anaheim Water Company on Saturday, Capt. Knox reported that the scraping and excavation for the flume would be finished this week. It was resolved that hereafter only the ditches in Anaheim and extensions should be kept clear by the Zanjero. An assessment of 50 cents per share was levied, payable before the 26th day of April. We have had bread made from the Odessa flour given us by Miles Bros., and we can assert with confidence that it makes as good bread as any flour ever sold in this market. The bread appeared a trifle darker than that made from the flour in general use, but it seems to be more adhesive and does not crumble. Sheep shearing is now in full blast, and we are told that in this vicinity the clip will be very large. We see it stated in a Los Angeles paper that there are 11,000 sheep on Clemente Island, and that shearing has begun there. Mr. Jotham Bixby says that the grain on the Cerritos, San Pedro and Centinela Ranchos is looking well and gives promise of a fair crop. Messrs. A. J. Brown and A. T. Ferdon are serving their country on the term trial jury, which was empanelled in the County Court on Monday. In Mr. Olden's office can be seen a sub-soil plow which can be attached to any ordinary plow, and with a draft of three horses can be made to stir the soil to a depth of twenty inches. Mr. Halliday of Santa Ana has long used this plow, and his orange orchard, which is never irrigated, bears emphatic testimony to the value of his deep and thorough plowing. Another feature is that when the soil is disturbed fifteen or twenty inches, the gophers can find no lodgement, as their runways are destroyed. Onions are bringing from $11 to $15 per hundred pounds in the San Francisco market. This is a very good time to sell onions. Mr. Seibert is shipping a lot of two-year-old budded orange trees to Sacramento. He has chartered a car, which will probably be filled and dispatched today. Thirty-seven night, beginning 2 o'clock.

Mr. John Fischer has his office with Judge Athearn, in the apartment on Center street, adjoining Mitchell & Payne's stable. A large force has been employed all the week in giving the Planters Hotel a thorough renovating. It is probable that it will be thrown open to the public on Monday or Tuesday next. We are assured by Mr. and Mrs. Chaffee that the concert to be given at Garden Grove on next Friday evening will be a musical treat. It is to be hoped that Anaheim folk will be present in large numbers. On last Wednesday as a pipe of wine was being rolled out of Mr. Werder's cellar, it broke from the control of those who were hoisting it and in its descent struck Mrs. Werder on the head, inflicting a painful wound and rendering her insensible for some time. One of her daughters also received a slight bruise. Mrs. Werder has now almost recovered from her injury. The amount of business now done at Anaheim is gratifying. The exports average two carloads per day, and the imports are also heavy, four carloads of merchandise having been received on Monday night. On Saturday the shipments were three carloads of wine and one of coal. On Sunday the shipments were seven carloads of sheep, one of orange trees, one of coal and one of grain. There is more business done at the Anaheim depot than at any other in the country, excepting Los Angeles, and it might not be improper to add that the management of Mr. Darling is commended by all who have dealings with the railroad company. The Board of Town Trustees met on Monday and ordered that an election for town officers be held on April 28th. The proclamation will be published on Saturday. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 24, 1904. The board of Trustees of the city met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present: Messrs, Schneider, Rust and Berdrow. The ordinance granting telephone franchise to W. L. Porterfield of the Home Telephone company was adopted. An ordinance establishing the official grade of certain streets was read for the first time. An ordinance fixing the compensation of the several city officers was read the first time. It raised the salary of the city clerk from $40 to $50 per month, and provides a cut in the marshal's salary, the exact figures of which were not determined. The salary of that official is now in the neighborhood of $135 per month. This will probably be cut to $100. A communication was read from the superintendent of the Santa Fe company addressed to the city attorney, stating that an electric bell would be placed by that company without delay at the Center street crossing of the railroad, and that until the bell is established the through trains would pass the crossing at slow speed. Thirty-seven hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Saturday night, beginning at 8 o'clock in a light mist and continuing until 2 o'clock. Just before midnight a heavy shower descended, but otherwise the rain came in a drizzle. Total for the season 4.17 inches. Last year to date 10.45 inches. While we are away behind the record of last year the country looks surprisingly well. Crops of all kinds never looked better, although the season is late. The crucial test of the season will come later—say in six weeks' time, when with warmer weather more moisture will be needed to mature crops. To this farmers say they will defer crossing Starts Spring Tour On March 22nd U. S. C. Band and Glee Club Begin Annual Trip Concerts Under the direction of Harold William Roberts, noted band leader, the combined band and men's glee club of the University of Southern California will start their annual spring tour of California on March 2nd. Eighty men will make the state-wide concert tour which wll last for eight days. During the trip concerts will be given in auditoriums, heatres and over radio. Ventura, Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley, Napa, Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno and Bakersfield will be cities visited before the musical unit returns to the Trojan campus March 30th. On March 24, at 2:45 p.m., the S. C. band and glee club will broadcast from the San Francisco offices of the National Broadcasting Company. The 45 minute radio concert will give music lovers the country over an opportunity to hear the Trojan musical units. The huge 175 piece Trojan band which played for more than a million football spectators last fall has been cut to 40 picked men. The mens glee club under the direction of J. Arthur Lewis will number forty voices. Concerts to be given include novelss medleys, marches, golos, overtures and medleys of college songs and special glee club numbers. The band will appear in its snappy attire of bright cardinal and gold roll sweaters, white Channel trousers and yachting cap. Glee club members are again wearing their white serge suits, trimmed with a dash of cardinal. This years concert tour is the seventh to be taken by the Southern California unit. Shriners Preparing For Great Pageant The Shrine convention's $1,000,000 motion picture electrical pageant to be staged in the Coliseum here will be more than two miles in length. Work has begun on nearly 40 gigantic floats Thirty-seven hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Saturday night, beginning at 8 o'clock in a light mist and continuing until 2 o'clock.

The crucial test of the season will come later—say in six weeks' time, when with warmer weather more moisture will be needed to mature crops. To this farmers say they will defer crossing bridges until they come to the stream. From October 1st to January 18th not a drop of water fell. This marked the longest period of drought in forty years. Rains in the north have been heavier than for many years. In Humboldt county fourteen inches of rain fell in February, and at other points the precipitation has been heavier. While we are passing through a freakish season in many respects, if the weather clerk will now be good we may yet have one of the most bountiful harvests ever recorded in the history of the county. Later—An inch and eighty-five hundredths of rain fell on Tuesday night. This brings the total for the season to 6.02 inches. Yesterday the sky was overcast and with a storm prevailing in the north it seems at this writing that more rain will follow. J.B. Neff reports 1.98 inches for the storm; Fullerton, 2.24; Santa Ana, 1.50, and Los Angeles, 1.60. Judge Howard and L.E.Miller, representing the Chamber of Commerce, went to Santa Ana on Tuesday to appear before the supervisors, along with the committees from Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana Board of Trade, in endeavoring to procure an appropriation from the board for advertising this county at the World's Fair. So favorably did the board receive the suggestion that it appropriated $1,300 for the purpose. The whole amount necessary is $1,500. Herman Stock and Claude Stough have formed a partnership in trucking and teaming, and have been engaged this week in unloading lumber by a new patented device attached to their wagon which simplifies the expenditure of elbow grease. Herman Backs has been assisting them in the rush of work and the boys have been exceptionally busy. May success attend the efforts of these young captains of industry. Wm.Fischer has been ill a fortnight past with hemorrhages of the stomach, having sustained two distressing attacks of the malady. His condition was yesterday reported to be improved and he will doubtless soon be able to be out again. P.H.Krick, Henry Adams and Dr.Hutchinson went to Santa Ana Tuesday night to attend an oyster supper at the Masonic lodge. They returned home at night and report that rain poured down all the way home.

Shriners Preparing For Great Pageant The Shrine convention's $1,000,000 motion picture electrical pageant to be staged in the Coliseum here will be more than two miles in length. Work has begun on nearly 40 gigantic floats which will form movieland's contribution to the Shrine festivities on June 4, 5 and 6. Each float will be lavishly illuminated with a myriad of colored lights and will carry a galaxy of famous movie stars. Electric current will be furnished each unit through a fleet of powerful generators mounted on trucks, which will act as tenders. The ecolorful pageant will be confined to the inside of the Coliseum due to the huge size of the floats. Nearly one half of the Coliseum already has been reserved for the pageant and other Shrine convention Coliseum features, include four performances of the Circus Maximus and two great dress parades. Applications for season tickets for the seven Shrine Coliseum events are no wheeling received by mail and in person at 1212 Broadway Arcade building and Al Malalkah Shrine Temple, 963 West Jefferson street, Los Angeles. It is said that within a few years the automobiles will have the front wheel drive, and a lot of henpecked husbands we know hope that the front seat drive will come in before that. 20 Year Goitre Treated At Home Mrs.H.J.Stubbs,Denver,Colorado Says: "Come or write to 1324 Emerson St., and I will tell my complete experience with Sorbol Quadruple, a colorless liniment, easy to apply and inexpensive."
