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 in 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 26, 1879. The excursion train which arrived in Anaheim about six o'clock on Monday night brought about one hundred and fifty persons to attend the Republican meeting. The audience was swelled by the townspeople and delegations from surrounding villages, and there were probably about six hundred people in attendance. Geo. C. Perkins, the Republican nominee for Governor, found many personal friends in Anaheim, men who had known him years ago in the northern counties and his brief stay was made pleasant in talking over old times with them. As he stood on the rostrum in the evening in the full glare of the Drummond light, his bluff, frank appearance and manner were noted and favorably commented on by both friends and foes alike. His address was listened to attentively, and many of his points met with the hearty approval of his audience. The other speakers were Messrs. Pacheco, Mansfield, Knight and Carrillo, and at the conclusion of the speeches, adjournment was had to the rining room of the hotel, where dancing was indulged in until midnight. Another Republican meeting, to be addressed by A. L. Hart, nominee for Attorney General, and Mayor McArthur, will be held in Anaheim on next Wednesday evening. The Southern California Press Association met in the Gazette editorial rooms on Monday night. Present—Scripie Craig of the The Southern California Press Association met in the Gazette editorial rooms on Monday night. Present—Scripie Craig of the Colton Semi-Tropic, J. C. Littlefield, T. B. Fanning and Aaron Smith of the Los Angeles Journal, D. M. Berry and G. W. Gould of the Los Angeles Commercial, W. W. Creighton of the Express, Frank Cobler of the Santa Ana Times, Nap Donovan of the Santa Ana Herald, L. T. Fisher of the Downey Outlook. The proceedings were opened with a supplication by Brother Fisher, and business was proceeding swimmingly when Scripie Craig made the incautious statement that he invariably kept a keg of beer on tap in his sanctum. A motion was promptly made and carried to adjourn and meet in the Semi-Tropic office just as soon as it was possible to get there. Master Oscar R. Luedke has been trying his "prentice hand" in getting up a clock and has succeeded remarkably well. Taking some old movements found in his uncle's house he put a handsome case around them and added an amusing automatic arrangement which he designates as "The Happy Family." On one end of a bench sits a boy, hammer in hand, and as the clock strikes the quarter hours he drives some nails into his father's plug hat. As the clock strikes the full hours, the old man sitting at the other end of the bench administers a correction to a young urchin whom he has laid over his knee in the old-fashioned way. The whole piece is ingenious and very creditable to the young workman. A bear weighing 1200 pounds was killed last Tuesday morning at 3 o'clock by Col. Havel, manager for Mr. Osterman, who has a bee ranch in Cucamonga Canyon. The bear had made sad havoc among the bee stands last Sunday night, destroying twelve stands. Mr. Havel accompanied by Artemus Rauch, H. Otto, an Indian and two dogs, one owned by Prof. von Phoennies of this city, laid in wait for bruin and Mr. Havel's Winchester brought him down. When dressed the grizzly weighted 1200 pounds. From Mr. John McFadden of Santa Ana we learn that the steamer Newport has been temporarily withdrawn in order to fit her up as a passenger steamer. She will have accommodations for about ten passengers, and in about two weeks will resume her regular trips between Newport Harbor and San Francisco. Mr. James Irvine of the San Joaquin Rancho was in town on Thursday. The sheep on the rancho are in good condition, the only annoyance now being the destructiveness of the coyotes. These pests are exceedingly plentiful this year, not only on the San Joaquin, but on other ranches further south. They are bold and aggressive and it is not an uncommon thing for one to dash into a band of lambs and kill one before the eyes of the herder. Mr. Irvine says that the loss of lambs from this source is considerable. Only 204 voters have as yet been registered by Mr. Rimpau. The people are very backward about coming forward and many voters will find that they cannot vote on election day. The time for registering expires on the last day of the present month. Thursday.

The fruit growers of Los Angeles have threatened to poison the bees, which are alleged to be damaging the fruit. A correspondent warns them of the danger of such a proceeding. The honey stored by the bees which had partaken of the poisoned fruit would be fatal to the consumers. We call attention to the advertisement of the Fashion Stables. Messrs. Mitchell and Payne run a handsome carriage between the town and depot, and will call at any part of town for passengers. Mr. Edward F. Cahill anonnunces himself as a candidate for justice of the peace of Anaheim township. The fire hydrants for Anaheim are being cast at a Los Angeles foundry. Not only are oranges still on the market, but they have developed a sweet flavor not present in the fruit in the early part of the season. Mr. Beebe has some very nice large ones. Mr. Hippolyte Cohen has gone to Anaheim Landing to recuperate and his brother, Edmond, is attending to the business in the meantime. A reporter of the New York Sun has been to visit Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, and learned some interesting facts in regard to the progress he has made with the electric light. Mr. Edison said: "First, I have perfected a standard meter for measuring the electricity fed to the burners, the same as a gas meter. Second, I have perfected a method of insulating and conveying the wires from the generating stations to the houses of consumers. Third, I have perfected an electric generator." Continuing, he said: "The subdivision of the light is perfect, but I am improving the lamp every day." Mr. Edison says it cost him about $13,000 to perfect his generator. He has spent $8,000 in experiments on his lamp. It cost about $3,000 to discover a new method of insulating his wires. He estimates that the total cost of his experiments thus far is $15,000. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 21, 1904. E. R. Amerige was renominated for the assembly by the Republican convention at Santa Ana on Saturday, defeating Dr. Freeman by a vote of 138 to 54. Mr. Amerige is alert and energetic in his advocacy of the rights of the people and may be depended upon to give a good account of himself if ever the Works bill should dare show itself again. We do not look for a re-condecence of this irrigation heresy, but all the same Amerige will be there, ready to deal it a knock-out blow should occasion arise. Amerige has lived in Orange county many years, knows the wants of the people in the way of new enactments and ought to be and without doubt will be, triumphantly elected. Mr. Hessell informs us that the brewery at the West End has already manufactured 400 barrels of beer, which will be placed upon the market the middle of August. This beer, it is expected will take a place beside that brewed in Milwaukee; nothing in California can touch it. Chemical analysis of the water used in the manufacture proves it to be superior to any water in the state for brewing purposes. Brewing goes steadily on, and it is believed a market will be found in many sections of California. Clarence Perdomo has returned to his home here after an absence of three months. In company of young Crawford of Olive, Planting Trout Fry In Streams of State Two Hundred Thousand Being Hauled Out Once more the fish cars operated by the Division of Fish and Game are on the road loaded with trout fry for the future happiness of California's huge army of anglers. According to announcement made here by W. H. Shelley superintendent of the fish culture department the first lot of 200,000 fry, running fro 1½ to 2 inches in length, have been shipped from the Mt. Shasta hatchery for planting in Downer Lake and tributaries. This lot was handled in Fish Car No. 1, in charge of Donald Evans of the Fish Culture Department. This department, operating in close cooperation with the patrol forces of the Division of Fish and Game, will handle all of the fish planting in California this year when it is estimated that 30,000,000 fish will be scattered in the various streams and lakes of the state. The first lot consisting of 100,000 Lochleven and 100,000 steelhead will be planted under the personal supervision of Dr. George Coleman, biologist for the Fish Culture Department. The fish will be delivered to the patrol force of Captain Joe Sanders at Truckee, and truck and pack trains will be in readiness immediately upon arrival of the car. Fish are cared for in cars operated over the railroad lines in such a way that the condition is practically the same as it is at the hatchery. Special aerating and refrigerating devices make this possible. The second lot of fish in Car No. 2, in charge of Ross McCloud, will be delivered at Martels in Amador county for planting in the waters of Southern Eldorado county, consisting of 260,000 German brown rainbow, Lochleven and eastern brook trout fry. They will be delivered to Captain Jack O'Connell of Mr. Hessell informs us that the brewery at the West End has already manufactured 400 barrels of beer, which will be placed upon the market the middle of August.

Brewing goes steadily on, and it is believed a market will be found in many sections of California. Clarence Perdomo has returned to his home here after an absence of three months. In company of young Crawford of Olive, he visited San Francisco and other northern points and made a voyage to Honolulu. Crawford is working in Bakersfield. Clarence will remain here a few days with his mother, and will then go to San Francisco to enter the affiliated colleges as a student in pharmacy. Alexander Henry, of the Caledonia Grove Ranch west of Anaheim, has made arrangements with the Edison Electric company for the installation of a forty-horsepower dynamo to run pumps for two wells on his place, which are now producing 100 inches of water, and are expected to double their capacity. A new house to cost $4,000 will be built on the ranch. Otto Rust writes from Ketchekam, Alaska, on board the steamer Spokane, under date of July 8th, that his party has arrived safely at that point and that they expect to reach Skagway July 10th. All are well, the trip being a delightful one, and the scenery picturesque and inspiring. Mr. Rust will be absent a month or more and will, while in the north, introduce grades of his sparkling wines manufactured here. George Carroll is home from Colorado after an absence of a year. He has been engaged in erecting beet dumps, of which his father now owns 36 at various points, with dozens of orders for more. George is looking well and is glad to get home. Mr. and Mrs. H. Cohen visited with friends in town this week. They returned to their home in Los Angeles on Sunday. Miss George Bailey accompanied them and will be a guest of Miss Gladys Cohen for several days. A. O. Leur has moved into the handsome new residence just erected on his ranch south of town, formerly known as the Snyder place. The house formerly on the place was purchased by P. H. Krick and was moved this week to his ranch further south. Ernest Cayce is installing a pumping plant on his ranch south of town and has other substantial improvements in contemplation. Mr. Cayce is a rustler and proposes to have as fine a ranch as can be found in the county. Miss Marie Yorba entertained about fifty guests at progressive hearts at her home in Peralta, Wednesday night. The conests were very exciting and were not concluded until after midnight, when delicious refreshments were served. J. H. Clabaugh this week received notification from County Superintendent Nichols that he has been appointed a trustee of the Anaheim school district, to fill out the unexpired term of A. W. Maxwell, who has moved away. Mr. Clabaugh will serve until next July, when a new trustee will be elected. The second lot of fish in Car No. 2, in charge of Ross McCloud, will be delivered at Martels in Amador county for planting in the waters of Southern Eldorado county, consisting of 260,000 German brown, rainbow, Lochleven and eastern brook trout fry. They will be delivered to Captain Jack O'Connell of the San Jonquin-Amador patrol district who, with Deputy W. J. Black, will supervise planting. Invaluable assistance will be rendered not only in these instances mentioned, but throughout the season by members of sportsmen's organizations in the localities mentioned. County officials, power company employees, and those employed by other companies operating near streams now planted, also give the fish and game forces excellent co-operation. Fish mentioned in the above shipments are routed by Captain Lambson, who is in charge of the Mt.' Shasta Hatchery, after species and amounts to be allotted are decided by Mr. Shebley, for over forty years in charge of California fish culture. This is merely the start of this year's planting program. From now on we will be moving fish from all the hatcheries, and placing them in carefully selected waters, where they will thrive and in due time gladden the hearts of the fishermen. We have organized to co-operate to the fullest extent with the patrol department, and expect this to be a highly successful fish planting season." Shebley explained, when he announced the first planting for this year. The "crazy" ant that infests households—so-called because of its habit of running about, apparently aimlessly, with a quick, jerky motion—can be restrained from its erratic activities by any of the various means used to combat house-lifesting ants, such as dusting sodium-fluoride powder along the insects' runways, or by injecting a little kerosene or gasoline into the nest if it can be found. The surest way to keep a house free from ants is to leave no food lying about on shelves or open places. Cake, bread, sugar and meat are especially favored by ants. Many of the ants that infest households came from the Old World to this and other countries on ships. No. 412 B Mother! Miss Marie Yorba entertained about fifty guests at progressive hearts at her home in Peralta, Wednesday night. The concludes were very exciting and were not concluded until after midnight, when delicious refreshments were served. J. H. Clabaugh this week received notification from County Superintendent Nichols that he has been appointed a trustee of the Anaheim school district, to fill out the unexpired term of A. W. Maxwell, who has moved away. Mr. Clabaugh will serve until next July, when a new trustee will be elected. Issy Davis and Sam Meyer came down from Los Angeles on Saturday to have a day's dove shooting up the river. They started at 3 o'clock on Sunday morning in one of Hahn's rigs. Birds were found to be plentiful at Horseshoe Bend, but the boys were poor shots and bagged only seven doves and three rabbits. Mrs. Strodthoff entertained the Ladies' Euchre Club at her home on Thursday afternoon. The guests's prize was won by Mrs. H. Cohen. The first club prize by Mrs. A. Rimpan, the second by Mrs. Bennerscheidt, and the booby by Mrs. Backs. Refreshments were served after the game and later the guests departed, having spent a very pleasant afternoon. Postmaster Littlefield was down town yesterday, convalescing from his recent injuries. He will probably be on deck again in a few days. Ed Zeus, who returned some days ago from Death Valley, states that his party of surveyors passed within a short distance of the grave of Mr. Sorenson, formerly of this city, who perished on the desert some years ago. Sorenson died from thirst and excessive heat, although he passed with in a few yards of a spring for which he was searching. His footsteps showed that he had wandered about in search of water and when unable to go further he built a shelter of yuccas to protect him from excessive heat. Here he kept a diary and detailed his thoughts during that awful day, in which, step by step, the destroyer approached. The last entry read: "If I am found today I may be saved." His lifeless body was found the following day. Mrs. Polhemus is here from Los Angeles visiting with her daughter, Mrs. Ernest Cayce, on her berry plantation south of town. Herman Schindler has gone to Chicago to take a course in architecture. Mrs. A. Rimpau and Mrs. L. W. Kirby visited with friends in San Juan the past week, returning on Monday evening.
