IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange C 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 24, 1879. The Anaheim Literary Union met at the Presbyterian church on Friday evening. Misa Fannie Higgins, Miss Sallie Hilmer, Miss Rose Campbell and Miss Mary Kraemer gave recitations. Their selections were well committed and well delivered. The "Leader" was read by the assistant editors, Miss Nellie Kuch and Miss Ella Mitchell. This number of the paper was one of U best that has been presented. The articles were all well writte The sketch of the ghost hunt was witty and entertaining and would do credit to the columns of a more pretentious paper than the "Leader." Miss Kuehel and Miss Mitchell discharged the duties of editor so well that it is to be hoped that they will be continued in that position. Messrs. Henderson and Guinn gave select readings. The musical selections sung by a number of young ladies were well received. The program for the next meeting is as follows. Declamations by Messrs. Otto desGranges, Charlie Higgins and Wm. Fish. Recitations or readings by Miss Adah des Granges, Miss Carrie Selbert and Miss Sarah Crowther. Question for discussion: Resolved, That Free Trade would be more conducive to the commercial prosperity of the United States than a Protective Tariff." Affirmative, Mr. Halliday and Mr. Henderson; negative, Mr. Guinn and Mr. Payne. About 8:40 on Wednesday evening a small, stable on Hermine street, opposite the residence of L. F. Lewis was discovered to be on fire and in half an hour it was burned to the ground. The stable was owned by Judge Every, and the hay which was stored About 8:40 on Wednesday evening a small, stable on Hermine street, opposite the residence of L. F. Lewis was discovered to be on fire and in half an hour it was burned to the ground. The stable was owned by Judge Evey, and the hay which was stored in it—two or three tons—was the property of Wm. Crowther. It is very clear that the fire was the work of an incendiary. A few minutes before the alarm was given, a bale of hay in the barn of Mr. L. N. Evans was found to be on fire. Mrs. Evans, who discovered the fire, put it out with some water which stood handy, and just as she had extinguished it, Mr. Evey's stable, a stone's throw distant, was discovered in flames. Both places were undoubtedly fired almost simultaneously. Mr. J. J. Hill has rented Mr. Scott's house on Adele street and will occupy it with his family next week. Mr. Wm. R. Olden will remove his office and residence to the apartments in the second story of Mr. Lannenberger's building, vacated by Mr. Hill. Mr. Ben Dreyfus and family will arrive from San Francisco shortly and will occupy the apartments vacated by Mr. Olden. On Thursday Prof. Guinn was attacked with severe neuralgia pains, accompanied by fever, and was compelled to relinquish charge of his school to Mrs. Guinn. This is the first time in ten years that Mr. Guinn has been disabled by sickness. We hope that his expectations of being able to resume his duties on Monday will be realized. At the meeting of the Anaheim's Workingmen's club, held on Thursday afternoon, Messrs. H. Werder, D. J. Sorenson, D. Nagle, F. Backs, E. Evey and J. W. Clark were elected delegates to the convention which meets in Los Angeles today. Mr. H. Hansler of Westminster favored us with a call on Thursday. From him we learn that the late sown corn is coming up to the head of the ditch today, to see whether a fair proward. The Board of Trustees of the Anaheim Water Company will go up to the head of the ditch today, to see whether a fair proportion of water is allowed to flow into their ditch. The Orange Company are now taking water from the river at a point above the Cajon ditch. Mr. Patv brought in eight tons of coal from the Black Star mine yesterday, for shipment to Los Angeles. It was of a very superior quality. A large box of it will be shipped to the railroad offices in San Francisco for inspection by the officials there. Mr. Adolph Rimnau and wife returned from their wedding trip on Sunday evening. They reside in the house formerly occupied by Judge Athern. On Monday evening the Anaheim brass band bade them welcome with a serenade. William Henry, brother of Alexander Henry, and a former resident of this place, was killed at San Jose on Sunday evening by falling between the cars. Mr. Henry was aged 32 years and Mr. Parv brought in eight tons of corn from mine yesterday, for shipment to Los Angeles. It was of a very superior quality. A large box of it will be shipped to the railroad offices in San Francisco, for inspection by the officials there. Mr. Adolph Rimnau and wife returned from their wedding trip on Sunday evening.

The San Luis Rey correspondent of the San Diego Union writes that Dr. A. B. Hayward has purchased the "Corral de Tierra" from Don Juan Forster and will improve the same at once. Scarlet fever is so prevalent in Pasadena that the public schools have closed. It is hard to account for the prevalence and malignancy of the disease in such an apparently favorably situated place as Pasadena. It is surmized, however, that the trouble originates in some of the reservoirs in which water is stored. Unless these receptacles are kept scrutinously clean, there is no doubt that they breed the most malignant diseases. The freight on flour from Los Angeles to Anaheim by rail has been reduced from $3.80 per ton to $3. Mr. John Gwin and family will leave in a few days for Lake county, where, in company with his brother Washington Gwin (who is at present visiting Anaheim), he will probably engage in the freighting business. Should next winter open favorably, Mr. Gwin will return here and put in a crop of wheat. On Sunday the Presbyterian church had an accession of ten members—five by confession, three by letter and two by letters pro tem. In the Episcopal church there were six persons baptized and ten were confirmed by Bishop Kip. The Bishop delivered a sermon appropriate to the occasion.

The annual financial statement of City Clerk Merritt, submitted to the city council, at its last meeting, shows that the city is in a sound condition and has had a prosperous year. The actual receipts for the fiscal year ending April 30th were $21,593.17, of which $12,745.06 were collected for lights and water, and $6,738 for city taxes. Charging against the city the lights, water, etc., furnished for public purposes, would bring the total receipts to $24,684.97. The total expenses of the year were $24,119.38. At the beginning of the year there was a balance of $4,860.73 in the treasury, and at the end of the year a balance of $2,336.52. The statistics of the city water and light plant make a favorable showing. The total receipts for water from all sources were $4,738.40 and the approximate expenditures $4,730.10, leaving a surplus of $8.30. The receipts of light from all sources were $6,775.17, and approximate expenditures $6,374.81, leaving a net surplus of $400.36. In receipts for water and lights are included charges against the city for water and lights used. And in expenditures are included new work done, interest and redemption fund, five per cent depreciation on plant, etc. During the year new work was done on the water system to the amount of $1,474.50, and on the electric light system to the amount of $1,813.87. The total expenditures on public streets for the year were $9,083.07, this including water and lights.

The value of real sports event at the coliseum More than 100 of the greatest college athletes in this state will participate in the first annual California Intercollegiate Track and Field Championships at the Los Angeles Coliseum May 18, and a two-day program has been scheduled to facilitate the handling of the competition, according to General Manager Gwynn Wilson of the University of Southern California. Preliminaries will be held on Friday, May 17, in four field events, the Javelin, shot put, broad jump and discus, and trial heats will be run the same day in four track events, the 100 and 229-yard dashes and the 129-yard high hurdles and 229-yard low hurdles. Five men shall qualify for the finals in the javelin, shot put, broad jump and discus and marks lead, in the weight event preliminaries shall count in the final spring. According to General Manager Wilson, it has been decided because of the size of the field to count four races with five points for first, three for second, two for third and one for fourth. University of Southern California, Stanford, California and U.C.L.A. are the competing universities, and the method of counting the first four places is expected to add interest to the anticipated battle between the Trojans and Cardis for first in the championships. The California Intercollegiate close the track season in Los Angeles and some just two weeks before the national intercollegiate championships in Philadelphia. The meet will give fans their last opportunity to see the Southern California and Stanford teams, which are doped to be the leading contenders this season for the ICA championship, in action this season.

The value of real estate and improvements owned by the city is placed at $44,865. A Pierotti was in town yesterday from Placentia, where the brightest and best oranges are grown. This year the crop promises a large output, so Mr. Pierotti informs us, while last year the yield was fully up to the average, in quality as well as quantity. Yet, as this experienced grower puts it, after reckoning up the profit or lack of profit from his forty-acre grove, he finds he has to scratch for expenses to get through the current year. His experience is that of the average grower throughout the state. Millions of dollars to the railroads in freights, millions to middlemen, who wax fat over the exertions of the grower, millions for this item of expense and millions for that, and when all is over there remains for the grower in many cases a net loss for the season's operations. There is something wrong about this. Either the system of marketing is at fault or some other cause exists which calls loudly for remedy. Certainly with millions of boxes of fine fruit grown in our orange groves there should be remuneration therefor, instead of actual loss. John Pfeninger has started carpenters at work on a $1,200 residence on his mother's ranch south of town, and when it is completed, the family will return and take up their permanent residence here. Adolph Luedke this week sold his twenty-acre ranch at Centralia to new-comers for $2,000. Luedke contemplates a trip to Oregon, where he may establish himself in business. Fred Tuffree drove in from his Placentia ranch a few days ago on a short pasear. Fred says there will be an abundance of new hay in his section this summer, although the grain output will be limited.

USING SEINES BRING HEAVY PUNISHMENT Sausalito fishermen who thought the operation of beach seines in Richardson's Bay, a part of the Mt. Tamalpais Game Refuge, a practical method of operation found out what the inside of the Marin county fall looked like when the iron doors clanged on them for sentences of 500 and 200 days. For some time Captain of Patrol Walter Sellner and his men had been seeking a gang operating in the restricted territory, and after an all night vigil, the trio was arrested in a cove near Burnett's Island, just as the dawn was breaking. Gus Marvis, who it is alleged is an old offender, was given the 500 days when he didn't offer to pay the $500 one that Judge DeLaMontanya of San Rafael figured was the price of his folly. George Nichols was sentenced to 200 days, and E. B. Yows, who was considered the least of three offenders, was given a sentence of six months which was suspended for two years, providing he did not violate any fish and game laws. A large quantity of fish, including 75 pounds of striped bass, was taken when the three were apprehended by Sellmer and Volunteer Deputy Lee Straight. While Deputies Charlie Boston, Harry Christiansen and George Smallley patrolled the water adjacent to the place of arrest, Sellmer and Straight came in fro manother direction in a skiff and the posse closed in at the violators. "This arrest and the sentenced imposed should have a salutary effect on fishermen who attempt to cutwalt our force and fish in restricted territory. Captain Sellmer and his men are to be complimented on the high class work done, and the co-operation of Judge DeLaMontanya is greatly appreciated." R.L Macaulay, chief of control for the Division of Fish and Game, declared upon receiving Sellmer's report. No. 412 E Mother! Watch Child's Tongue 'California Fig Syrup' is Wm.
