IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Year Ago. These Files Contain the only Authentic Records of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 7, 1879. The Westminster Presbyterian church was dedicated on last Sunday. The church was beautifully and tastefully decorated, the exercises varied and impressive. The church was filled to its full capacity and although the day was hot all seemed to enjoy the occasion. At the evening service the house was well filled. On Monday evening the pews, which are free, were apportioned to families and persons desiring to attend and are nearly all spoken for. The edifice, which cost over $3,200, is paid for. The pews furnished by the Ladies' Aid Society, cost $200 additional, of which there remains only five or six dollars unpaid. The pulpit, a very nice one, is the gift of Rev. J. Marquis and wife. The chandeliers, four in number, were presented by the "Qui Vive" and cost $75. The Presbyterians are greatly elated (and no wonder) over their new church, its financial condition and their prospects. The pastor will hold services at the Alamitos school house on next Sunday at 3:30 p.m. For the past four days the weather has been hot—very. The mercury in the thermometer has been away up in the second story, and has even been trying to get out through the trap-door on the roof. At the depot on Sunday, in quite a shady place, the thermometer marked 112 degrees, on Monday 110 and yesterday 108. At Mr. Kraemer's ranch on Monday in was 110 in the shade and 128 in the sun. The cool gusts of wind which came sweeping up from the ocean yesterday afternoon gave promise of a turn in the weather, and it is probable that the back-bone of this torrid visitation is broken. And time it was, too, for the corn which the cold weather has prevented from growing vigorously, was being cooked by the blazing sun. The vineyards have not suffered any. Two years ago a similar hot spell was experienced, accompanied For the past four days the weather has been hot—very.

And time it was, too, for the corn which the cold weather has prevented from growing vigorously, was being cooked by the blazing sun. The vineyards have not suffered any. Two years ago a similar hot spell was experienced, accompanied by warm winds which did great damage to the grape crop. We should be thankful for having escaped that calamity this year. The regular meeting of the Literary Society was held in the Presbyterian church last Friday evening. Before recess, the time was occupied with literary exercises. After recess the society proceeded to make nominations for officers. After the votes were counted, those receiving the highest number of votes were declared elected, as follows: E. A. Saxton, president; Miss Ella Mitchell vice-president; Ed. Pellegrin, secretary; Mrs. Evans, treasurer; Rev. E. Halliday, editor. The officers will enter upon their duties at the next meeting. The order of exercises for the next meeting will be varied and interesting. In conversation with Mr. Charles Hilmer the other day we learned that the sheep in this part of the country are fat, as a general thing. He also thinks there will be sufficient feed for the stock already here, an opinion which is shared by Mr. J. K. Tuff-free, who is in charge of the pasture lands of the Stearns ranchos. Mr. Hilmer says that the wool-clip has been very heavy this year. The wool market is looking up, wool being about four cents more per pound now than it was three weeks ago. This is contrary to all precedent. Heretofore those who got their wool to market early in the season invariably got a better price than those whose product came in late. Mr. L. M. Holt, secretary of the Southern California Horticultural Society, writes us that an arrangement has been made with Prof. Hilgard of the State University for an analysis of the soils of Southern California. The committee on adaptability of soils met in Los Angeles on Thursday and appointed Richard Mcrose, editor of the Anaheim Gazette, chairman of the Anaheim committee. This committee will represent all the county west of the Santa Ana river. The instructions to the various local committees have not yet been issued. The cultivation of pampas grass has become general in Southern California. The plumes sold for fifty cents apiece last year, but in a few months they will go a-begging at a few cents. It may not be generally known that A. Guy Smith & Co. of Anaheim sell a great deal of lumber in San Bernardino county. The Riverside paper in referring to the matter, says: "Our local teamsters can afford to bring us lumber at rates which will bring the cost much lower than we are accustomed to pay delivered from other points. At a meeting of the Anaheim Constitutional club on Thursday evening, Messrs. Payne, Montgomery, Fischer and Alex Bailey were elected delegates to a convention to be held in Santa Ana this afternoon.

The convention is for the purpose of electing from this supervisorial district a member of the County Central Committee. Another fire at Savannah on Wednesday night destroyed a crib containing about four thousand bushels of corn belonging to "Lucky" Baldwin. The origin of the fire is thus stated by a correspondent of the Express: Pleasant Bvas (colored), who lives close to the corn crib, says he and his wife saw parties carrying brush from his fence and piling it against the crib, preparatory to firing it, but he said and did nothing, as he knew it would not do for him to interfere. After today the office of Mr. Wm. R. Olden, agent of the Stearns ranchos, will be found in the second story of Langenberger's building on Center street. Mr. J. M. Guinn has been confined to his bed during the past week by an attack of fever. He was quite ill at one time, but is now getting better. His duties in the school are now being attended to by Mrs. Henderson. Mr. A. Langenberger and family went to San Francisco on Thursday, on a short visit. Miss Katie Olden will arrive tomorrow from San Jose, where she has been for the past year attending school. She will pass the summer vacation with her parents. Mr. J. J. Hill is occupying a part of Mr. Fesenfeld's tin-shop with his stock of goods, which comprise numerous articles of general utility. One of N. H. Mitchell's fine black horses died of lung fever on Thursday. DAYS 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 JUNE 2, 1904. All the prizes in the annual oratorical contest between Fullerton and Santa Ana high schools, held in the high school at Santa Ana, were won by Santa Ana. The Finley medal for best declamation from the freshman class was captured by Marguerite Louise Bangs; the Finley medal for best essay from the sophomore class by Lemuel Robinson, on "Opportunities which politics offer to a young man;" the Starbuck medal for best oration from a member of the junior or senior class went to Sidney Smiley; the Starbuck medal for the best work of the school also went to Santa Ana. The contest was spirited and was attended by about four hundred enthusiastic adherents of the competing schools. Prof. Hafford of Occidental College presided and the judges were H. O. Wise, head of the English department of the Redlands high school and J. O. Churchill of the Hollywood schools, and A. N. Whitlock, superintendent of the Riverside schools. The trustees of Anaheim school district have called an election to be held at the Central school house on Saturday, June 4th, to choose a successor to Mr. Enearl, whose term expires. Mr. Enearl has been persuaded by his many friends to stand for reelection and has no opponent in sight thus far. He makes a good school trustee and his supporters are of opinion he has earned another term. Officers of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company and the Anaheim Union Water Company have secured evidence that O. B. Fuller and other ranchers in Riverside county are again using the water of the Santa Ana river for irrigating outside the natural watershed, in violation of the restraining order issued by Judge During his enforced confinement at Washington, Harry Sinclair has been made the jail pharmacist. He ought to make good at this especially if any of the alling prisoners happen to need oil. A prominent New Yorker predicts that in a few years they will be hanging men in America for taking a drink. But this won't be much worse than strangling on the liquor direct. Anyhow, since his vote on the debenture plan puts him outside the organization breakworks, Senator Borah probably feels more comfortable than he has for several months. Scientists are predicting a widespread plague of June bugs this year. Congress will have to hurry to get the remedy for this in the farm relief bill in time to do any good. NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL PROPERTY BY TRUSTEE UNDER DEED OF TRUST WHEREAS, F. J. Murphy and Esther Murphy, husband and wife, by Deed of Trust dated October 31st, 1928, recorded November 5th, 1928, in Book 214, page 198 of Official Records of Orange County, California, did grant and convey the property therein and hereinafter described, to Orange County Title Company, as Trustee, to secure among other obligations, the payment of one promissory note dated October 31st, 1928, payable to A.

B. Fuller and other ranchers in Riverside county are again using the water of the Santa Ana river for irrigating outside the natural watershed, in violation of the restraining order issued by Judge Bledsoe. The joint litigation committee of the two companies has issued instructions to their attorneys to commence proceedings against Fuller for contempt of court. This is Fuller's second alleged violation. Sometime during Saturday night thieves took advantage of the bright moonlight prevailing over the Terry farm on the East Side and entered the potato patche and made away with $50 worth of the succulent vegetable. Mr. Terry states there are yet some potatoes left on the farm, together with some of the best berries he ever raised and if the thieves will kindly forward their address he will ship the whole shooting match to them and no questions asked. Nothing small about Mr. Terry. The Chamber of Commerce will open its new headquarters in the Rubman building within a few days. The room is large with attractive show windows and is also centrally located. A display of preserved fruits, as well as seasonable green fruits, will be kept on exhibit at the new headquarters and will be open during the day, but not in the evening. The exhibit will be in charge of Rev. Kohlenberger. Ben Drevfus was a visitor in our town this week from San Francisco. Ben is interested in large property holdings in Orange county and is a member of one of the wealthiest and most highly respected families in San Francisco. He is one of the shrewdest young business men of the northern metropolis, the house of Buckingham & Hecht, with which he is connected, emploving several hundred workmen. His mother has recently added vastly to the beauty of her building here, which is occupied by Stern Bros. store, by putting in a new plate-glass front and it is said Mrs. Weglein, who owns the adioining building, will shortly improve her property by the addition of a similar front. Mrs. Cora Browning has installed on her place in Orange-thorpe, an electric pumping plant, which is operated by a fifteen horse-power electric motor, power being furnished by the Edison Electric Company from the main transmitting line. Transformers have been installed on the ranch, which reduce the current from 10,000 volts sufficiently to drive the motor. Mrs. Browning believes she can irrigate her entire place at a much cheaper rate than that charged by the Water Company. She has also installed a two horse-power motor to pump water for domestic use and has wired her house throughout for electric lights. Fred H. Bixby of the Rancho Los Alamitos left for Reno, Nevada, today, for the purpose of buying a carload of thorough-bred Hereford bulls. Mr. Bixby intends to engage in fine stock raising, the Rancho Los Alamitos being peculiarly fitted for such business, as there is pure water in abundance and the land is very prolific. He will buy his cattle from Gov. Sparks of Nevada, the governor being a stock raiser of national reputation.

Mr. Bixby expects to be gone a week on the trip and will accompany his purchase back to the rancho. Madame Modieska and Count Bozenita came up from their home at Arden to spend a few days with friends in this city during the week. Mrs. Polhemus and son, Dean, visited in town this week from Los Angeles, guests of Mr. and Mrs. Cayce. Punils of the seventh grade enjoyed a candy pulling at the residence of Mrs. Zeus on Saturday evening. Frank Ey came over from Santa Ana on Monday, to attend Memorial Day services. A. T. Pendleton was in town from Placentia on Saturday, on a business trip. Gorge Boyd and Peter Weisel made a business trip to Los Angeles during the week.
