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 AUGUST 30, 1879. While Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Rimpau were enjoying a walk last Friday evening, an entrance was effected into their house by a young man who climbed through a window that had carelessly been left unfastened. He opened the door and admitted a number of his companions, male and female, and they took complete possession of the house. On the return of Mr. and Mrs. Rimpau the party refused to depart until sundry solids and liquids had been demolished, and then they went only as far as Kroeger's Hall, where the evening's revels were closed by a merry dance. Friday was Mrs. Rimpau's birthday and her legion of friends took occasion to testify their good will by giving her a "surprise." The Anaheim Literary Union will meet in the Presbyterian church on Friday evening for the first time since the summer vacation. An excellent program has been arranged for the occasion and it is hoped the public will testify their appreciation of the efforts made by the members of the Union by being present in large numbers. The average tramp is the personification of ingratitude, as a very worthy gentleman of this city found out the other night. On inspecting his stable before retiring he found a trump making his bed in the hay. The gentleman's first thought was to eject him, but the trump pleaded so hard to be permitted to spend the night there that he was allowed to remain, after promising not to The Anaheim Literary Union will meet in the Presbyterian church on Friday evening for the first time since the summer vacation.

On inspecting his stable before retiring he found a tramp making his bed in the hay. The gentleman's first thought was to eject him, but the tramp pleaded so hard to be permitted to spend the night there that he was allowed to remain, after promising not to strike a light anywhere near the hay. He was profuse in his thanks, but his insincerity was shown next morning when he departed taking his host's overcoat with him. H. M. S. Pinafore will arrive in Anaheim some time in September. The music of the comedy has already been received and active rehearsal will begin at once. The ship will be manned by the ladies and gentlemen of the Anaheim Philharmonic Society. We regret to learn that not only the ditches on the Azusa and Duarte ranchos are entirely dry, but the wells also, and settlers are compelled to haul their water in tanks from a point in the mountains about three miles up the San Gabriel Canyon. The crops in that section are almost a total failure. Grapes are twenty cents a pound in Tucson, Arizona, and two cents a pound in Los Angeles. The time of transit is about 72 hours between Los Angeles and Tucson. The Commercial wants to know who makes the profit. Behold the value of advertising! The sleeve button belonging to our good friend, Theo Reiser, advertised as having been lost last Wednesday, was found several hours before the paper went to press. Downey Courier:—Thursday a number of the farmers of this valley assembled at McCarvin's hall, in this place, to discuss and perfect a plan to better their condition—to realize remunerative prices for their products. It is proposed, as we understand it, to organize an association, with permanent officers to conduct its affairs; that a prominent and reliable San Francisco commission house be selected and all shipments made direct to it, the producers fixing the price at which they can afford to sell. If stored, and the farmer desires to raise money upon his grain until sold, the commission merchant presents the warehouse receipt at the bank and obtains the same at a low rate. It is high time the farmers organized for their own protection. The plan outlined above was received with much favor by the farmers present and another meeting was appointed for next Saturday, when it is hoped the farmers of the valley will rally in force. Stephen M. White, having a second time refused to be the candidate of the Workingmen for district attorney, the Voice of Labor informs him that he has no option in the matter, and that his name must remain upon the ballot. An artesian well has been struck on Wm. Lyon's farm at Compton at a depth of 245 feet, which gives a flow of fourteen inches—the largest flow ever struck in that section. The irrigating ditches of Azusa and Duarte are completely dry, there being no water in the canyon for more than a mile. Those who have orchards are hauling water a long distance and Stephen M.

Those who have orchards are hauling water a long distance and watering their trees with buckets. Crops are suffering severely. The Board of Supervisors have designated the Anaheim hotel as the polling place at the election. D. K. Williams as inspector, Richard Melrose and Max Nebelung as judges. Anaheim Gazette:—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 they will see the necessity of making the proposed reduction. We concur with the Gazette. Cheap fares increase travel, and we noticed the other day people from Anaheim and Santa Ana coming to town in their buggies, it being cheaper to do so than to come by cars, when two or more could join in the ride, and either party owned the outfit. Round-trip tickets would do both the people and the railroad company good. Try it, Mr. Goodman.—Los Angeles Journal. A band of Indians from the mountains passed through town on Wednesday en route for Los Alamitos, where they have a contract to shear 25,000 sheep. Mr. Collins of Artesia got 350 sacks of Odessa wheat from twelve acres. Mr. Smith of Los Coyotes got 30 centals to the acre. A number of drunken Indian sheep-herders have been infesting the town the past few days, and some of them have so conducted themselves as to require their lodgement in jail. The Riverside Press chuckles over the fact that the mountains which lie between Riverside and Anaheim effectually protect the former place from fog visitations. We also look upon the same mountains with great satisfaction. The experience of last winter shows that the same frost which desolated many of the Riverside orchards might have reached Anaheim but for the intervening hills. 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 AUGUST 25, 1904. The brick building at the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets was this week sold to the First National Bank by N. Hart, executor of the Metz estate. Consideration $8,000. The lot is 41 by 135. The building will be remodelled, new plate glass fronts being constructed. The premises will be occupied by the bank, and the present quarters will be devoted to the use of the savings bank now forming among moneyed men. L. E. Miller, who occupies the corner property will move into a new building to be erected by the bank on the Center street lot now occupied by the Candy Kitchen. The lot is 28 by 135 feet. It is said a new brick block will soon be in course of construction. Henry Adams and Crockett Bowers this week disposed of the property recently purchased by them from the Metz estate to Ferdinand Heying for $2,500. The property consists of the restaurant, building next to the quarters soon to be occupied by the First National Bank. Something over a month ago they purchased this property for $1,750. Mr. Heying is newly arrived from the east. He has purchased the restaurant business formerly conducted by Mr. Burdick and is now in possession of the property. The unusual spectacle of a genuine rainstorm in August was afforded on Monday, when a quarter of an inch of rain fell during the morning hours. The storm was a remnant of the heavy rains which have deluged Arizona the past few weeks. The territory Tourists Spend Much Money Here Average Tourist Makes Cash Expenditure of $104 While In California Tourists and long-stay transients' cash expenditures in Southern California last year were approximately $344 - 667,038, or an average of $104 for every person in the ten southern counties, according to an authentic survey recently compiled for the All-Year Club of Southern California by a reliable economic service, it was announced by W. H. Harrison of the All-Year Club Executive Committee. Commenting on the survey, Mr. Harrison said: "Few realize the proportions to which Southern California's summer and winter tourist business has grown under the cultivation of eight years of national advertising by the All-Year Club. An authentic survey by a reliable economic service reveals the cash expenditures of tourists and long-stay transients in Southern California to be $344 667,038 per year, or an average of $104 for each of the 3,300,000 persons estimated as the permanent population of the ten southern counties. "In making the survey a 'tourist' was classified as a person here on a pleasure visit of three months or less, the annual cash expenditures of this group being figured at $208,087,109. It was likewise found that Southern California had last year a constant average of 140,852 persons here on pleasure visits three months or longer, who constituted 10.2% of our consumers and spent $130,579,929. This latter group alone is equivalent to the population of a city about the size of Salt Lake City." When one realizes the large amounts which the expenditures of these pleasure visitors represent, one readily understands why the tourist business ranks as one of our chief industries in Southern California.

The unusual spectacle of a genuine rainstorm in August was afforded on Monday when a quarter of an inch of rain fell during the morning hours. The storm was a remnant of the heavy rains which have deluged Arizona the past few weeks. The territory had but little rain up to the present storm, the precipitation for all of last winter being half an inch. Rains have been so heavy for some weeks past that many washouts have occurred and property destroyed by flood. Old timers declare that rain in August indicates a wet winter. To this no one will object. Thirty inches of rain this winter will be about right. Adolph Rimpau and his sister, Miss Sophie Rimpau, attended the burial of Don Marcos Forster at San Juan on Monday. Mr. Rimpau was a pallbearer at the funeral, as was also ex-Governor H. T. Gage. Don Marcos died suddenly in Los Angeles on Friday morning. He was known throughout Southern California as the head of one of the best families in this part of the state. His father was Don Juan Forster, who is still remembered by old-timers in this county. Don Marcos owned a principality at San Juan, where the family have resided for many years. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Konig departed from Hamburg on Tuesday on the steamer Moltke, for New York. They are expected to arrive in Anaheim about September 15th. Mr. Nemetz informs us that the sunflowers, of which sidewalks in town are lined in places with aesthetic profusion, have twenty-one petals, the smaller ones having twenty. He has proven this by a hundred tests and knows whereof he speaks. Mr. Nemetz will go to the head of the botany class. Mr. Turk is erecting a commodious dwelling on his recently purchased tract on Lemon street near South. He will reside here with his family permanently, but will retain his position as head chemist of the Chino sugar factory. The new residence will be ready for occupancy in a few weeks. Mrs. Minnie Hutchinson has sold to Miss Ida Bentz a building lot in the Metz tract on Claudina street recently purchased by her from the administrator, N. Hart. Miss Bentz contemplates in her near future building a residence thereon. E. T. Hart, a former well known fellow townsman, has been in Anaheim this week renewing old acquaintances. He is located in Mexico and is interested in mining. Specimens of ore in his possession show the rich character of the ledges in which he is interested. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Strodthoff left Saturday for their home in Jerome, Arizona. They were accompanied by Miss Nettie Hansen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hansen. She intends to spend the winter with Mr. and Mrs. Strodthoff. Miss Kate Rae, who is at Berkeley pursuing her studies in a post graduate course, writes that more pupils are in attendance this year than ever before. Miss Rae has attained a Bachelor's degree and will study for a year for a Master's degree. When one realizes the large amounts which the expenditures of these pleasure visitors represent, one readily understands why the tourist business ranks as one of our chief industries in Southern California. State Motor News There is no law in California requiring a motorist to secure public liability, property damage or any other type of insurance on its car. This was the substance of a bulletin issued here by the Division of Motor Vehicles in response to numerous inquiries concerning the effect of insurance provisions of the new motor vehicle act, effective August 14th. Only in the event any person fails to satisfy a judgment rendered against him by a count of competent jurisdiction for damages involving injuries or death or property damage is insurance required, the bulletin explained. In the event of the failure to satisfy such a judgment within fifteen days after it becomes final, the division is required to revoke the operator's or chauffeur's license and registration certificates of the person involved. Thereafter before the licenses and certificates may be restored, the person involved is required to pay the judgment and to secure public liability insurance to the amount of $5,000 for one person killed or injured and $10,000 for two and $1,000 property damage, or to post a surety or personal bond or a cash deposit amounting to $11,000. "This is not compulsory insurance as the term is known ordinarily," the bulletin explained, "inasmuch as it effects only those persons involved in accidents who fail to satisfy judgments." "The new law emphasizes, doubly, need of careful driving to keep out of trouble. But the careful driver has nothing to fear from it." The ferry over the Colorado river east of Searchlight, Nevada, has been re-established and is again operating. Advertising in the Anaheim Gazette brings results. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Strodthoff left Saturday for their home in Jerome, Arizona. They were accompanied by Miss Nettie Hansen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hansen. She intends to spend the winter with Mr. and Mrs. Strodthoff. Miss Kate Rae, who is at Berkeley pursuing her studies in a post graduate course, writes that more pupils are in attendance this year than ever before. Miss Rae has attained a Bachelor's degree and will study for a year for a Master's degree. Rev. D. R. Collings of Orange will fill the Methodist church pulpit on Sunday morning next, during the absence of the pastor, Rev. Johnson, in Los Angeles. Rev. Markel has returned from the annual meeting of Christian pastors at Long Beach and will occupy his pulpit next Sabbath morning and evening. Frank Fox and I. F. Rice went to Huntington Beach on Monday evening on a fishing expedition. How many fish, gentlemen? Henry Adams and wife, Bird Beebe and wife and P. H. Krick and wife went to Long Beach the first part of the week for an outing. Merton Skinner is sojourning at San Juan Hot Springs. During his absence his brother is attending to his duties on the automobile route of the rural mail delivery. Mrs. C. G. McKinley and daughter, Miss Fay McKinley, departed this week for a trip to the St. Louis Fair. On their return they will stop off some weeks with friends in Denver. Misses Olga and Clara Boege are in San Francisco on a visit to friends and relatives. Peter Weisel returned some days ago from a business and pleasure trip to Milwaukee. L. F. Lewis was down from Los Angeles this week, completing the sale of his Center street property to W. C. Warner, for $3,000. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Holcomb and Miss Dora Zeyn are spending a few weeks at Newport Beach.
