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 MAY 17, 1879. In response to a call for a joint meeting of the rival contestants in the constitutional campaign, a large audience assembled at Kroeger's hall last Wednesday evening. Mr. Gannon was chosen chairman, and Mr. D. R. Payne secretary. Mr. Payne stated the object of the meeting. We have just passed through a hotly contested campaign. A new organic law for the state has just been adopted and he believes will greatly benefit the state. He hoped that those who advocated and those who opposed would forget their little differences and disputes and work together for the common good. To bring about a more harmonious state of feeling, this meeting had been called. Judge Bailey was called for. He believed the new constitution would curb the tyranny of railroads and corporations, which was increasing every year, and something had to be done to secure the liberties of the people. Mr. Guinn was called for and first refused, but finally took the stand and said that he was or of the whipped. He had pitched into the new constitution and had got worsted. It is to be hoped that the next legislature will amend some o f the defects in the new organic law. Mr. Montgomery was called for and said that he had labored hard for the new constitution and he fully expected that the state would prosper as it never had before. Mr. McFadden said that he is one of the few teachers who supported the new constitution. Mr. Henderson was the last speaker. He had opposed the new law and events on the inevitable ing. While Gen.

Mr. McFadden said that he is one of the few teachers who supported the new constitution. Mr. Henderson was the last speaker. He had opposed the new law and was not there to recant. The meeting adjourned with three cheers for the new constitution. The Anaheim Literary Society convened at the usual hour in the Presbyterian church. Miss Nellie Kuchel gave a select reading, Miss Ella Mitchell recited "Beautiful Hands," Mr. Ernest Ferguson gave a select reading, Mr. Ed. Pellegrin declaimed a burlesque on Maud Muller. Several of those appointed to give declarations were absent. After recess Mrs. Bessie Lawrence favored the audience with a song. The debate was declared next in order. Mr. Holdridge, Mrs. Evans and Miss Nellie Kuchel were appointed a committee to decide upon the merits of the debate. The question, Resolved, That the virtues of the Revolutionary fathers have been over-rated, was discussed affirmatively by Messrs. Guinn and Campbell, and negatively by Messrs. Halliday and Henderson. The committee decided in favor of the affirmative. The following program was reported for the next meeting: Declamations by Miss Fannie Higgins, Miss Rose Campbell, Miss Sallie Hilmer and Mr. T. S. Grimshaw. The reading of the society's paper by Miss Ella Mitchell. The Board of Town Trustees met in special session on Wednesday. The bonds of several of the officials were approved and that of D. R. Payne was laid over until the regular meeting. The president appointed the following committees: Finance—Saxton, Korn and Werder. Ordinance—Korn, Saxton and Seibert. Public improvements—Zeyn, Korn and Seibert. Communications from Messrs, Fesenfelt and Dalton in reference to taking charge of the pumping engine were referred to the committee on public improvements. The water matter was discussed, but no action taken except to instruct the marshal to call upon citizens and obtain their sentiments in regard to paying a monthly rental for water. If enough encouragement is given the Board may lay pipe through the principal streets, hire an engineer to run the engine and supply water at a very moderate cost to those who desire it. The committee on ordinances was instructed to investigate existing laws and report any alterations or amendments they may deem necessary at a meeting to be held on May 27th. The Right Rev. Wm. Ingraham Ken, Bishop of California, will hold a confirmation service in St. Michael's Protestant Episcopal church on Sunday morning next.

The unpropitious weather of last Saturday did not prevent a spirited game of baseball being played by the Anaheim and Orange clubs, on the Anaheim grounds. After a sharp contest, victory perched upon the bats of the Anaheim club. The score stood 16 to 12. A contest between the same clubs will come off at Orange on Saturday afternoon. A rumpus of some magnitude occurred at a Chinese washhouse on Los Angeles street yesterday. One Chinaman was cut over the eye with a knife and the Chinaman who did the cutting was somewhat hurt. The facts of the trouble will come out before Judge Bailey this morning. Mr. Holman is putting out an orange orchard of seven hundred trees on his farm northwest of town. The trees are being furnished from the nursery of Mr. R. H. Gilman. The Episcopal social at Mr. Leonard's on Thursday last was one of the pleasantest of the series. The next one takes place on the 22nd inst., at the home of Mrs. Breed. Mrs. Schneider has gone on a visit to St. Louis, Mo. She will return in two or three months.

Orpheus Lodge by J. P. Zeyn and Santa Ana Lodge by G. Spurgeon. The town well was completed yesterday. Its depth is 99 feet, which makes the cost $173.25. Water was first found at 32 feet from the surface and now it is only 22 feet from the surface—a pressure of ten feet, YS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 12, 1904. Events move rapidly at the seat of war in the Far East, and the inevitable result appears to be that Russia is in for a thrashing. While the Mikado has announced his intention of raising Gen. Kwroki to be a field marshal, the Czar, on the other hand, has been forced to talk of court martial and banishment for officers of his army and navy. Straws show which way the wind blows, in war as well as in peace. With the Czar's forces falling back step by step from the Yalu to Mukden, with the Japs landing in force or, the Liao Zang peninsula, and with Port Arthur invested by land and her harbor closed, it seems the net results of the war so far must be with the Jap decisively. Russia has done nothing so far to justify her boast that she would speedily vanquish the Jap and dictate terms of peace in Tokio. Censored news dispatches from the seat of war are not without humor. Thus Port Arthur dispatches informed us some days ago that Vice-Admiral Alexieff had gone to Mukden to confer with Gen. Kourapatkin. Why the viceroy should leave his port while Admiral Togo hovered about was not clear, but next day's dispatches explained it abundantly. The viceroy and his rayal menagerie had beaten a precipitate flight in order to save themselves from capture by the Japanese, who now invest the fortress by land and sea. Alexieff has been the bird of ill omen to Nicolas during the progress of the war. From the first, his messages to Contractors Asked To Use Local Labor Construction of State Roads To Be Loyalized As Much As Possible Urging the employment of local labor and the purchase of supplies as fair as possible from local merchants in districts suffering from frost damage. B.B. Meek, director of the Department of Public Works today addressed a letter to E.C. Coate, contractor of Sacramento, to whom a contract has been awarded to construct a section of state highway. The letter was written in connection with the award of contract. The request made by Director Meek is a part of the policy of Governor Young and the Department of Public Works, also the California Highway Commission, to increase as far as it can be done, the benefits derived from state highway construction in frost affected districts of the state. In his letter to Mr. Coats, Mr. Meek writes as follows: "The far, far in the fruit districts have been hard hit this spring by the unusually severe fires. This misfortune follows on the levels of a period of several years so few prices on farm products. As a result many farmers will be in straightened financial circumstances and many merchants in farming areas are facing a dull and unprofitable season. We feel that everything which can be done to assist the farmers and the merchants, particularly in this area, will tend to relieve this situation and will result in a generally healthier business condition throughout the state." "I therefore suggest that you give first consideration to the employment of men living in the vicinity of your contract and that you buy as many of your supplies as possible from the local merchants." Censored news dispatches from the seat of war are not without humor. Thus Port Arthur dispatches informed us some days ago that Vice-Admiral Alexieff had gone to Mukden to confer with Gen. Kourapatkin. Why the viceroy should leave his port while Admiral Tege hovered about was not clear, but next day's dispatches explained it abundantly. The viceroy and his rayal menagerie had beaten a precipitate flight in order to save themselves from capture by the Japanese, who now invest the fortress by land and sea. Alexieff has been the bird of ill omen to Nicolas during the progress of the war. From the first, his messages to his majesty recorded nothing but defeat. Whether he has cabled the Czar that he has humbly to report his home-run hit, does not appear. Alexieff is a Texas leaguer. Alex Henry of Caledonia Grove was a brave soldier in her majesty's army in the Crimea and at Sebastopol, while he lay wounded upon the battlefield a Cossack attempted to bayonet him. Alex sidestepped as well as he could under the circumstances and received the wound in both legs above the knees. He bears the scar of this murderous assault to this day. He fought the Cossacks three years until victory perched upon the banners of the allies. That is why he sympathizes with the Japs in the present conflict with the Bear, and that is why he has his young cannon already loaded up, out at the grove, ready to fire it at the minute word comes by wireless telegraphy that Port Arthur has fallen. Henry's cannon makes a roar that can almost be heard in St. Petersburg, and when you hear it you will know what it means. George America, census marshal of Fullerton, has completed the census in the Fullerton district and reports 309 children of school age in the district. One year ago there were 213, and two years ago 234. There are about 400 children of school age and under in the district. Merton Skinner, carrier of mails on rural route 3, experienced a puncture to one of the wheels of his automobile on Monday, while at Yorba. He removed the rubber and made the return trip in slow time, but without further mishap. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Neff were visitors in Los Angeles this week. Mr. Neff had business matters to engage his attention and Mrs. Neff went to meet her cousin from Ohio, who is attending the Methodist Conference. Elton Gobel and James P. Buck, two of the artists employed in our composing room, made a bicycle trip to Long Beach on Sunday. They also took in San Pedro and Terminal Island during the day. Wm. Wallon returned this week from Honolulu, after an absence of two years. He enjoyed a lucrative grocery business while residing in Honolulu. He is associated with his brother, Wilborn, in the grocery business here. The two young men are rustlers and are rapidly building up a trade that reaches throughout the neighborhood. Napoleon Hart, as administrator of the esate of the late Mrs. Margaret Metz, has erected a fine monument in the cemetery over the last resting place of that lady. Dr. Johnston is having plans drawn by Contractor Boney will be in straightened financial circumstances and many merchants in farming areas are facing a dull and unprofitable season. We feel that everything which can be done to assist the farmers and the merchants, particularly in this area, will tend to relieve this situation and will result in a generally healthier business condition throughout the state. "I therefore suggest that you give first consideration to the employment of men living in the vicinity of your contract and that you buy as many of your supplies as possible from the local merchants. Please know anything that you can consistently do in line with this suggestion will be greatly appreciated." Similar requests are to be made of other contractors awarded state highway work in fruit districts adversely affected by the frost. THE RESERVE BOARD Congress is expected momentarily to break into violent eruption over the credit-restriction policy of the federal reserve board. There has already been some heat and oratory, which is usually warning of a storm brewing. Whatever happens, the board will be the storm center. Chairman McFadden, of the House banking committee, is frankly critical of the board's plan to keep commercial and collateral interest rates at a high level and is finding support in high places. Joseph Stagg Lawrence of the Princeton University, department of economics, has said flatly that there is not and has not been any possible danger of a commercial credit shortage in the United States. Guy M. Walter, wildly known economist and industrial expert in the international field, charges the board with resorting to "false and utterly misleading" propaganda in support of credit restriction. Another authority argues that the board's policy is an attempt to aid in European financial stabilization to the disadvantage of American industry. These extreme views are inspiring most of the angry talk in congress, and they come from sources which cannot be ignored. However, hot-heads do no good and may work serious injury to a mechanism as highly sensitive as a credit system. Let congress proceed with caution, and let the reserve board talkative economists do likewise. No. 412 E Wm. Wallon returned this week from Honolulu, after an absence of two years. He enjoyed a lucrative grocery business while residing in Honolulu. He is associated with his brother, Wilborn, in the grocery business here. The two young men are rustlers and are rapidly building up a trade that reaches throughout the neighborhood. Napoleon Hart, as administrator of the estate of the late Mrs. Margaret Metz, has erected a fine monument in the cemetery over the last resting place of that lady. Dr. Johnston is having plans drawn by Contractor Boney for his new office and residence, to be erected at the corner of Los Angeles and Broadway. Orange county's delegates to the Republican state convention leave on Monday for Sacramento, where the convention assembles on Wednesday. The convention will select delegates to the National Republican convention at Chicago, June 21. The Orange delegation is composed of Richard Melrose and E. E. Keech, delegates-at-larve; W. L. Hale and Dr. Hasson of this district, and Bruce Wardlow, J. N. Bill, D. A. McMullan, K. E. Watson, M. A. Orster, A. Gilty, John P. Greeley and Frank Vegeley. The Young Americans will play a game of baseball on the local diamond with Pacific City on Sunday afternoon. On Sunday last the former defeated the latter at Pacific City by a score of 11 to 0. Tom Deitrich's new residence on Los Angeles street is ready for occupancy and furniture is being moved in. Tom expects to move into it in the near future. Nick Hugo, wife and babies, came in from Placentia Saturday afternoon to spend Sunday with Grandma Schauman. Fred Hiltscher will leave this week for his mines in New Mexico. He is packing machinery to be shipped ahead and to be installed upon his arrival there. Frank Schwentker stopped off in town on one of his business trips the first part of the week. Mrs. Will Lawrence is here from Cochise A. T., visiting her mother and her little daughter, who has been living here. She will remain during the summer. Henry Burdorff was a business visitor in town on Saturday, from his ranch on Orangetherpe avenue. Judge and Mrs. Frank Shanley are spending a fortnight at Newport Beach.
