IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a C Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic H of the Citizens of Anakeim and Orange Coun 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 5, 1879. The Anaheim Literary Union convened at the Presbyterian church Friday evening, March 28th. President Grimshaw in the chair. The exercises began with a song by Miss Carrie Seibert. An oral criticism on the exercises of the previous meeting was given by Mr. J. M. Guinn. Recitations were rendered by Miss Sallie Hilmer, Theresa Wille, Master Charles Higgins and the Rev. Mr. Halliday. After recess the society paper "The Leader," was read by the assistant editor, Rev. E. Halliday. The contributions were spicy, varied and instructive. The following programme was reported for the next meeting, Friday, April 11th: Recitations by Miss Ella Mitchell, Miss Laura Campbell and Miss Doretta Fischer. Music by the music committee. Question for discussion: Resolved, That the new constitution of the State of California should be rejected. Owing to the fact that the new constitution seemed to have no friends in the society, it was decided to have a general discussion allowing each speaker to have ten minutes to give his views pro or con. If the new constitution has any friends here it will be well for them to put in an appearance and defend that instrument. The meetings of the society are highly interesting. Our citizens cannot pass an evening more pleasantly than by attending its meetings, and encouraging by their presence the members who have labored to build it up. The session of the Los Angeles Presbytery will commence tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock in the Presbyterian church, Anaheim. At that hour Rev. Mr. Boag, the retiring moderator, will preach the opening sermon.

Mr. Boag, the retiring moderator, will preach the opening sermon. The session will continue all day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and the proceedings and discussions will be very interesting. Those who have leisure will find both pleasure and profit in attending the session and we are requested to extend a cordial invitation to every one to be present. The following ministers are expected to be present: Rev. Mosher of Pasadena, Rev. White of Los Angeles, Rev. Taylor of Nordhoff, Rev. Boag of Santa Ana, Rev. Young of Orange, Rev. Compton of Westminster, Rev. Strong of Westminster; and the following elders: Judge Bailev of Anaheim, Thaddeus Alward of Westminster, Capt. Wm. Smith of Los Angeles, Wm. C. Clapp of Pasadena, D. W. McLeod of Colton. A tank built by Mr. Wille for the town was completed last evening. It is 12 feet high, 18 feet 3 inches in diameter, and its capacity is 22,400 gallons. The staves are three inches thick and six inches wide. It is held by ten iron hoops ¼ of an inch thick and 2½ inches wide. It is a substantial, well built tank of which Mr. Wille is pardonably proud. The showers on Monday night marked seven hundredths of an inch. Coming immediately after the hot, dry spell, the effect is very beneficial to the growing grain. A few additional showers will assure a wheat crop that cereal having stood the drought and heat much better than barley or rye. During yesterday there were several showers, but the barometer rose steadily last evening and indicates a return of fair weather. On Saturday last the Secretary of the Interior granted a rehearing as to the correctness of the Minto survey of the Jurupa rancho, comprising seven square leagues in San Bernardino county, confirmed to Abel Stearns. The property has been in controversy many years and this action of the department revices the contest. In Los Angeles last week Lawyer Godfrey knocked Lawyer Smith down for telling him he lied. And in San Francisco on Friday Lawver Tom Fitch and Lawyer G. W. Tyler had a rough and tumble fight in the city criminal court, the provocation being a statement by Tyler that Mrs. Fitch had been trying to influence a jury. The fortnightly Episconal social takes place on Thursday evening at the residence of Mr. Cowan. A conveyance will start from Dr. Cowan's office at a quarter after seven to carry guests to the social.

The San Francisco Alta of March 25th has an amusing account of the Rule-Kearney fight, written by some person in Santa Ana. In its issue of Sunday is a statement by Messrs. McFadden, Fruit and Spurgeon of Santa Ana. Mr. J. H. Haines has succeeded Mr. Fish as telegraph operator at this place. He is a nephew of Supt. R. R. Haines. John B. Harmon, Grand Sire of the I. O.

Smurr, in addition to his duties as agent at Los Angeles, will hereafter act as traveling freight agent. Messrs. P. H. Look and C. E. Leonard are in San Francisco. They will probably return today or tomorrow. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 31, 1904. The City Trustees met in special session on Tuesday evening and adopted an ordinance fixing grades of various streets, also a salary ordinance. Under provisions of the latter the Marshal's salary was cut from $135 (the present approximate rate) to $80 per month. Salary of street superintendent was fixed at $20 per month. It is optional with the Trustees whether the Marshal performs the duties of the latter position. He is at present doing so. Salary of the city clerk was raised from $40 to $50. Mr. Dickel's gauge made it .55 of an inch of rain for the storm, which began on Monday morning and continued in drizzles during the day and night. The sky was overcast all of Tuesday, but little rain fell until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon when a smart shower descended. Total for season, 6.57. Last year to date, 13.80. Primaries for election of delegates to the Republican County Convention will be held in the various precincts on Wednesday, April 13th. The county convention will be held at Santa Ana April 16th.

Mud Hens Damage Ripening Oranges Thosand Boxes on Bastenchury Ranch Destroyed by Them Citrus pest control, ever a problem in the orange industry, added a new chapter to its annals of problems solved, but not until nearly 1,000 boxes of perfectly good valencias had completely disappeared from some sections of the Bastanchury ranch. Mud hens, whose homely forms and raucous squawks is scorned by every duck hunter, were today a minus quantity on the Bastanchury properties. Deserting their native heath on the ponds of the ranch, they were caught red-handed, busily pecking, having gobbled a sizeable crop of oranges from trees surrounding the reservoirs before they were apprehended. "They were pretty clever, those birds Gaston Bastanchury declared. I would not believe it when some of the men reported they were eating fruit. I set a man to watch and he reported the same result. I set another man and he corroborated the others." "We checked up closely and estimated that nearly 1,000 boxes of fruit had been eaten. The birds fly up and pluck a deep hole in the fruit with their beaks. In about a week it drops off the tree and then the hen eats it comfortably on the ground." Ten men armed with shotguns eliminated the latest pest discovered in the citrus industry from the Bastanchury property. Bastanchury warned other citrus growers of this danger and advised a careful watch on groves near reservoirs where mud hens abound. The always hungry boy or girl between 9 and 18 years of age needs plenty of milk, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits, in addition to the bread and butter, cereals, potatoes, cookies or other energy foods. Allowance for protein and minerals must be made in the foods of growing boys and girls, as well as those which supply energy—sometimes from one to one and a half Primaries for election of delegates to the Republican County Convention will be held in the various precincts on Wednesday, April 13th.

Backs, Jr., and Joseph Hatfield. Ed Zeus and Hugh Smith left yesterday on an overland trip to Imperial and other points of interest on the Colorado River. They go in a conveyance of their own, and besides provisions and other necessaries, they carry with them a young arsenal that is calculated to strike terror to the hearts of those with whom they come in contact. It is not believed they intend to hold up a train, but bears and mountain lions had better break for tall timber. If business opening offers at Imperial, they may determine to locate and grow up with the country. They are popular young fellows despite the forbidding appearance of their arsenal, and if worst comes to worst they may turn pirate on the Colorado River. At the initial meeting of the Republican County Central Committee at Santa Ana, April 15th was fixed as the time for holding precinct primaries for the election of delegates to the County Convention, to be held Saturday, April 16. This convention will name delegates to the State Convention. Each precinct will be entitled to seats in the county convention on the basis of one delegate for each fifteen votes or fraction thereof cast for the head of the ticket in the last election. To fill vacancies in the Central Committee, A. S. Bradford was named to represent Placentia, J. F. Conley for Silverado, S. B. McTarnahan for West Orange, R. B. Wardlow for New Hope, H. A. Dickel for Anaheim No. 2 and Wm. Sinclair for Olinda. Miss Adele M. Mosseman, teacher of the seventh grade, gives the following list of pupils who have obtained the highest perscheidt, Viola Susmil, Herman Wedel, Elton Gobel, Raymond Neb-Lilly Zeus, Grace Schindler, Clementine Backs, Lillian Bennerschudt, Vicia Susmil, Herman Wedel, Elton Gobel, Raymund Neb-elung, Cora Bowen, Gertrude Asher, Mabel Bush, Ling Fat, Mary Wisser, Pansy Pellegrin, Fred Weisel, Rudolph Grenke, Max Schumacher, Arnold Hansen, Mable Wommer, Freda Grice, Otto Rees, Clyde Webb, Lily Bayha, Laura Newman, Maria Arias, Geo.Hatfield, Rollo McClellan, Ella Brunworth, Bertha Thayer, Ruth Jenness and Arthur Renner. Miss Claudina C. Darling aged twenty years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Darling; breathed her last after a long illness at the home of her parents on Tuesday evening. Interment occurred on Wednesday afternoon from the Catholic church. Rev. Father Dubble conducted the burial services. Olinda had a sweet revenge on Apex at Busher Park on Sunday afternoon, the score standing 6 to 2. Apex played its regular nine, coming down without its bunch of professionals who did things to us a fortnight before. The game was a tolerably good one, but Apex was outclassed from the start. Pitcher Crandall was too much for them this time. The players and their positions were as follows: Olinda—Wagner, l. f.: Tuffree, c. f.; Easterly, c.; Burnett, s. s.; Isbell, 1st b.; Crandall, p.; Head, 3rd b.; Burk, 2nd b.; and Bastanchury warned other citrus growers of this danger and advised a careful watch on groves near reservoirs where mud hens abound. The always hungry boy or girl between 9 and 18 years of age needs plenty of milk, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits, in addition to the bread and butter, cereals, potatoes, cookies or other energy foods. Allowance for protein and minerals must be made in the foods of growing boys and girls, as well as those which supply energy—sometimes from one to one and a half times as much protein and minerals as a man needs. Lacking the right foods it might be possible for a diet to furnish sufficient energy but not enough body-building material.

The opening of the mountain road from the Elsinore country in Riverside county through the San Juan Canyon to Capistrano, has been assured by an order of the supervisors authorizing the work. Orange county's share of the expense will be between $1500 and $3,000 to make three miles of road in the head of Seaver's Canyon, while in Riverside nearly eight miles will be built. The opening of the road will give Elsinore residents a closer vagon road to Los Angeles and will shorten the distance from that point to Orange county by fifteen miles. It will also open up a new and shorter road to Imperial Valley. Frank Dyer, Charley Fischer, Will Nemetz, Ira Litten, Bird Beebe, Attorney Tipton, Rev. Johnson, Joe Bennersscheidt, Will Wakett and Jos. Glotzbach were in the throng Los Angeles bound on Monday morning. Claude Eaton has moved his machine shop into the Nemetz block, at the corner of Center and Emily. Lane Bentz, the little son of Mrs. Ernest Bentz who resides at the Del Campo, has been seriously ill with the measles. Joseph Hatfield has been setting up with R. K. Sherman, whose condition shows no change from former reports. Henry Dyer has just completed the installation of a fine 25-horsepower pumping plant on the Dyer ranch just north of this city. Two wells were sunk and an extraordinary fine flow of water found at a moderate depth. He expects to pump seventy-five inches of water.
