IN THE DAYS OF L 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 JULY 19, 1879. Stingarees seem to be unusually plentiful this year and they have made their appearance in parts of the coast where they have never been known before. It may be proper to here correct an erroneous impression which has gone abroad relative to the presence of these pests at Anaheim Landing. It is true that they are somewhat numerous in the breakers, but no one now thinks of bathing anywhere but in the fine bay which was formed by the closing of the old channel last winter. There are no stingarees in this bay, and in other respects it is much nicer and safer to bathe in than in the surf. Mr. Beebe received yesterday a fine lot of peaches from Mr. Strodthoff's orchard. This fruit is abundant this year, and what is more to the point, the size and flavor are superior to any which have ever been marketed in Anaheim. The fruit of Southern California is getting better and better every year and varieties which in other states have no special points to commend them, here develop a size and flavor which excite remark. In obedience to the call for Republicans, a large number of voters assembled at the rooms of the Planters Hotel Saturday, July 12th, to form a Republican club. The club was organized by electing L. W. Kirby president; B. F. Seibert, treasurer; and E. Schubert, secretary. Messrs. Theo. Reiser, Ed Dunham and F. Hartung were elected vice-presidents. A number of formed a Fruit Central League general field manager address in five be accomplished work as a unit about a lower fee also cheaper iciments. A. T. P. and W. E. McFarron, A. Pierotti, were elected dean which will be his committee was a local order will The growers here. Those of our of having upon dairy, will regre that he will in parties. This is for it, for new dairy has been Strodthoff's orchard.

A committee on constitution and by-laws was appointed to report at the meeting to be held on Wednesday evening, July 16th, at the same place, at which time all will sign the roll of the club. A committee was also appointed to look after the registration of Republican voters. After some discussion, which was found to be decidedly in favor of Republican principles, the meeting adjourned until Wednesday next at 8 o'clock. We acknowledge the receipt of a box of fine peaches from the orchard of Mr. Fred Upson of Centralia. Mr. Upson's fine home is a standing advertisement of the country and shows what may be accomplished in a few years under adverse circumstances, by industry and intelligent effort. The bees are playing havoc with the grapes and other fruit in Anaheim. The injury is becoming manifestly more serious every day, and there does not seem to be any remedy. It is useless to enact an ordinance requiring all bees to be removed from the town limits, because they will travel five or six miles in search of food. The Democratic Central Committee met on Monday and issued a call for primaries to be held at the various precincts on Saturday, July 26th, to elect delegates to a county convention to be held in Los Angeles on Thursday, July 31th. The polling places and apportionment of delegates in this section is here given: Anaheim—R. M. Barham's office; Theo. Rimpau, judge; four delegates. Fountain Valley—School house; E. H. Johnson, judge; two delegates. Garden Grove—School house; Wm. Beauchamp, judge; two delegates. Orange—Orange Hotel; /onos Travis, judge; two delegates. San Juan Capistrano—Ilers Hotel; R. Egan, judge; two delegates. Santa Ana—School house; Trinidad Yorba, judge; two delegates. San Joaquin—Judge Humphrey's office; J. T. Flint, judge; four delegates. Silverado—Gillette House; J. C. Hill, judge; one delegate. Tustin—Utt's store; L. Utt, judge; two delegates. Westminster—Hull & Lund's store; A. H. McDowell, judge; two delegates. Mr. Isaac Cohen of Anaheim disclaims being a candidate for tax collector. The I. Cohen who is a candidate resides in Los Angeles. Dr. Reeves and Mr. Baruch, two of the most respectable and influential citizens of Downey, shot at each other last Saturday, but nobody was hurt.

A. G. L. Trew will officiate on Sunday morning next at St. Michael's Episcopal church for the last time. He will leave for Santa Barbara about the 25th inst. The railroad authorities have now under consideration a proposition to reduce the fare between Anaheim and Los Angeles to $2 for the round trip. It is believed that they will see the necessity of making the proposed reduction. Mr. George C. Hall, late principal of the Orange school, has been appointed to the school in Pasadena, and Mrs. Hall is to take charge of the school at Orangethorpe. Mr. Barber has accepted the charge of Amity school, south of Orange. George C. Perkins, the Republican candidate for governor, and ex-Governor Pacheco will address the people at Santa Ana on Thursday evening and the citizens of our neighboring village are preparing to give them a hearty welcome. The nomination of these gentlemen seems to be exceedingly popular with the Republicans of this section, and their election in September is pretty generally conceded. A correspondent, writing under date of July 14th from Savannah, says: A grain stack of E. J. Baldwin's caught fire this afternoon from the steam thresher. A part of the separator, a wagon and other machinery, with about 150 centals of grain, and some hay which belonged to Myers, a tenant of Baldwin's, were burned. The stubble burned as far north as the road, and this prevented further advance. About half past three o'colck yesterday morning a fire broke out in Dr. Jones' office at Downey. The drug store of Mr. Brown and Frankle's warehouse, together with Dr. Jones' office, were destroyed, the loss being estimated at $8,500. Insured for $3,500. The Express says that the $5,000 of 4 per cent certificates first received by Col. Dunkelberger were taken up before their receipt, and an additional $5,000 went the same way. S OF LONG AGO Uned Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 14, 1904. A number of the largest orange growers of Placentia have formed a Fruit Growers League, which is to be a branch of the Central League recently formed in Los Angeles. Isaac Naylor, general field manager of the Central League, delivered a lengthy address in favor of the organization, saying much good could be accomplished if the growers are willing to stand together and work as a unit. This organization can accomplish more to bring about a lower freight rate than any that has ever been formed, also cheaper icing and better time across the continent for shipments. A. T. Pendleton was elected president of the local league and W. E. McFadden secretary, and A. S. Bradford, A. T. Pendleton, A. Pierotti, Wm. Crowther, C. C. Chapman and R. H. Gilman were elected delegates to the next session of the Central body, which will be held in Los Angeles in about two weeks. A large committee was appointed to solicit members and it is believed the local order will soon be one of the largest in Southern California. The growers here ship about 600 carloads of oranges annually. Those of our readers who have been accustomed to the luxury of having upon their table butter from Hetebrink's Placentia dairy, will regret the announcement on the part of Mr. Hetebrink that he will in future discontinue the sale of butter to private parties. This is not because there does not exist an active demand for it, for never in the quarter of a century that this famous dairy has been furnishing its customers with butter has the out- were elected delegates to the next session of the Central body, which will be held in Los Angeles in about two weeks.

This is not because there does not exist an active demand for it, for never in the quarter of a century that this famous dairy has been furnishing its customers with butter has the output been of a better grade or the demand for it greater. Mr. Hetebrink has decided to sell his cows, and having amassed a competency will spend the evening of life in comfort at the old home, under his own vine and fig tree. We shall miss the weekly calls of the dairy wagon, with its wealth of butter and other good things, punctually arriving at noon on Saturdays. The day will hardly be what it used to be, with Dick Hetebrink's voice calling: "Whoa, Emma," to the nag we have all become acquainted with. This world of ours is not one continual round of pleasure after all. The Rebekah Lodge has elected the following officers: Noble Grand, Mrs. C. R. Gates; Vice-Grand, Mrs. Ida Tipton; Rec. Secretary, Mrs. F. C. Spencer; Treasurer, Miss Dora Zeyn. Joint installation will be held with the Odd Fellows Friday evening. A public joint installation of the Santa Ana, Anaheim and Westminster Lodges of the Fraternal Brotherhood was held Friday night at Elks hall, Santa Ana. Sup. Chap. Bachelor of Fresno delivered an address on the object and benefits of the order. Officers installed for the local order were as follows: President, Mrs. Boyd; vice-president, W. B. Skinner; secretary, Elsie Clabaugh; chaplain, Alice Hatfield; sergeant, Roy Clabaugh; master-at-arms Roland Goble; inner door-keeper, Frank Booth; outside door-keeper, Harry Blackfan. Mr. and Mrs. George J. Sparkes were happily surprised on July 8th, the twentieth anniversary of their wedded life, when friends to the number of over half a hundred gathered to congratulate them and wish them bon voyage over the remainder of their journey together. Elder Markel was present and spoke the words that renewed their vows taken twenty years ago. Mrs. Sparkes was the recipient of a beautiful decorated china tea set, besides other handsome china pieces. The evening was pleasantly spent in games and music. Refreshments of cream and cake were served. The following is a partial list of guests present: J. H. Enearl and wife, A. D. Luer and wife, R. M. Fau and wife, Dr. W. W. Adams and wife, O. L. Green and wife, J. W. Duckworth and wife, Mrs. Cassie Gardner, Mrs. I. E. Cram, C. S. Douglas and wife, Mrs. and Miss Westphal, Mrs. Fred Mickel, Mrs. N. A. Bitterer, Mrs. H. A. Stough, Mrs. M. Noelung, Mrs. A. C. Chambert, G. Annin and wife, A. B. Markel and wife. J. B. Neff is busily engaged in gathering his apricot crop, which is turning out well. Mr. Neff states he will this year replace a portion of these trees with grafted walnuts, the remainder of them going out next year. He will devote his attention exclusively to walnuts in the future. His orchard of those trees is aden with the heaviest crop of nuts to be found in the country. Eddie Boege anderman Stern went hunting doves up River Canyon a few days ago, going in the former's auto. When fifteen miles up the canyon the machine decided the closed season was not over and refused to budge.The boys had a six-mile walk to J. B.

When fifteen miles up the canyon the machine decided the closed season was not over and refused to budge. The boys had a six-mile walk to the nearest farmhouse, where a rig was secured for the homeward trip. The next day Claude Stough went up and hauled the infernal machine back home. Today Republican primaries occur throughout the county. Upon the selection of delegates depends the nomination of a candidate for state senator and assemblyman, and perhaps from this district. Let there be a free vote and then let the party rally to the support of the candidates. Mrs. R. Melrose and two daughters, Mrs. Fred Backs, Jr., and Miss Winifred Melrose, departed on Monday for a sojourn of several weeks at Long Beach. Mrs. E. B. Merritt left Thursday for Dickson, Ill., to spend the summer with her sister there. Miss Eva Merritt who has been attending school in Illinois, will spend her vacation with her mother and aunt. E. B. Merritt, Jr., accompanied his mother as far as Flagstaff on his way to Payson, Arizona, to visit relatives. George Hagar was a business visitor at Santa Ana on Monday Stern Cottle and family are at San Juan hot springs for a vacation of several weeks. Frank Fox and Herman Bennerscheidt went hunting doves up the ditch on Sunday and bagged upward of eighty. Oscar Renner and family are camping at San Juan hot springs. They will be absent several weeks. Mrs. R. Dunn underwent a surgical operation on Monday by Drs. Bickford and Johnston. Her condition yesterday was said to be improved. R. R.
