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 SEPTEMBER 5, 1879. Mr. Tim Boege came down from Santiago Canyon a few days ago, bringing with him cheering news and rich samples of ore from the mine in which Messrs. Pellegrin, Darling, Gray and Boege are interested. For several months past a number of men have been at work running tunnels on the claim and a few days ago they were rewarded by striking a well defined ledge of galena ore, which is unmistakably rich. The country all about the mine has been taken up lately by miners who feel elated over the developments made by the Santiago Mining Co. Mr. Boege has given us a piece of the ore which can be seen at this office. It is the intention of the company to continue developing their mine unremittingly, and we hope soon to have cheering news to communicate. Arizona, which has of late been the mecca of so many from this county, is not all that the immigrants' fancy painted it. Nine out of every ten of the people who go to that territory, hoping to better their condition, find themselves disappointed. Apronos, a Los Angeles paper says: "From one of the Los Angeles colonies in Tucson, recently returned, we learn that our fellow-townsmen, have been in rather a bad way out there—no work and no chance to get any. Our informant was very glad to return safely." Wine making has already begun at San Gabriel, and it is said that some of the growers have gone back to the revolting practice of "stamping out" the juice instead of using the grape press. Such a proceeding is altogether behind the age, and people Arizona, which has or has been the mecca of so many from this county, is not all that the immigrants' fancy painted it.

Wine making has already begun at San Gabriel, and it is said that some of the growers have gone back to the revolting practice of "stamping out" the juice instead of using the grape press. Such a proceeding is altogether behind the age, and people will be loath to partake of wine which they think has been made in any such manner. Here in Anaheim the grape press is used exclusively: The suit brought by a San Francisco firm against J. Bennerscheidt was decided in favor of the defendant in Los Angeles the other day. The peculiarity of the suit was that Bennerscheidt had for a couple of years been purchasing gasoline from the San Francisco firm. The bills for the same were promptly presented every month, and as promptly paid. But some time ago they presented a bill of over $200, which they claimed was due them for the reason that they have not during the preceding two years charged for all the gasoline furnished. They claimed that the tank which they had always shipped the gasoline in held several gallons more than they thought it did, and they brought in a bill for the extra number of gallons furnished during the years Mr. Bennerscheidt had dealt with them. Rev. J. M. Allis, pastor of the Larkin Street church, San Francisco, and a former resident of Anaheim, preached a sermon on last Sunday in reference to the Kallock-De Young affair, taking for his subject, "To Whom Belongeth Vengeance." The Board of Town Trustees met in regular session on Thursday. In the matter of the Water Works, the Board declined to accept the same on account of the leakage. Another meeting will be held next week, by which time the contractor expects all leakage to have ceased. Mr. J. C. Hill of Centralia has sent to Washington territory for a small quantity of wheat of the variety known as Blue Stem. It is extensively grown in that territory and does not rust under ordinary conditions. The berry resembles the Scotch Fife variety and the stalk is stiff and strong which prevents it from lodging. Two hundred and fifty thousand ballots were printed at the Los Angeles printing office for last Wednesday's election. Fifteen thousand ballots were printed at the Gazette job office for use in this supervisorial district alone. It will be seen by the apportionment of school moneys that Anaheim comes next to Los Angeles in the number of teachers employed. It is the only district in the county which gives employment to four teachers. At a baile in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, Louis Mendebles was shot by Billv Patterson. The wound is thought to be fatal. Patterson is in jail. The law requiring saloons to be closed on election day was rigidly enforced in Los Angeles. Two arrests were made for non-compliance with the law. It will be seen by the apportionment of school moneys that Anaheim comes next to Los Angeles in the number of teachers employed.

The assessment due on shares of the Anaheim Water Company must be paid on or before Thursday next, as the delinquent list will be advertised on the Saturday following. A Westminster item is to the effect that Mr. Alfred Beckett is down at present writing with his well 180 feet. At 117 feet they struck the limb of a pine tree some 2½ inches in diameter, and brought up also a piece of cone. Mr. Raine of Gospel Swamp finished picking hops last Saturday. He reports a heavy yield. The crop of fifteen acres just picked yielded 34,000 pounds. The stage was robbed on Tuesday three miles from Nevada City and the robbers killed W. F. Cummings, a banker of Moore's Flat, who attempted resistance. A dispatch from Washington dated Sept. 1st, says: The debt statement shows a decrease of debt for August of $527,395; cash in the treasury, $243,696,228; gold certificates, $15,128,700; silver certificates, $3,281,851; currency certificates, $35,174,000; refunding certificates, $4,396,500; legal tender outstanding, $346,-681,016; fractional currency outstanding, $15,782,064. A full-fledged Chinaman has arrived at Harvard University, having accepted an offer of $200 a month to teach students the Chinese language. Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Co. are the general agents for the sale of the potato starch made by H. H. Harmon. Those who use this starch once will prefer it to any other. Mrs. B. Dreyfus and family arrived from San Francisco on Tuesday. We are pleased to state that they will make Anaheim their permanent home. YS 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 SEPTEMBER 1, 1904. Partly cloudy and cool weather prevailed throughout Southern California during the past week, with frequent showers and thunderstorms during the fore part of the week. In the mountains and on the desert the rains were heavy and caused considerable damage to railroads, but very little to crops. Grapes are ripening rapidly and picking is progressing. The quality is excellent. Sugar beets are making fine growth and are above the average. Beans were damaged considerably by the hot weather of the previous week, and the crop will be below the average. Walnuts are maturing fast and were improved by the cool weather On irrigated lands the nuts appear to be plump and well filled. A large crop of late potatoes is being planted. Oranges are doing well. Heavy thunderstorms occurred in the mountains and occasional light showers in the valleys. Considerable damage is reported in the Mill Creek section above Redlands. Bean cutting continues. Some threshing is being done. Quite a considerable stream of water ran under the Olive bridge on Monday, the result of heavy downpours in the mountains. This is a sight rarely witnessed, as river water has not flowed down as far as the bridge at this time of the year in a decade. Old timers say the Arizona storms, coupled with those in the mountains of Southern California, point to a winter of heavy rainfall. The man who doesn't believe in signs says nothing, but hopes so. No Deficit From Drop in Bank Tax State revenues for the current year have shrunk sharply due to the new bank and corporation tax, but enough income will accrue from other sources to avert an immediate deficit in California's funds. This was revealed by the State Board of Equalization when it notified county officials that no ad valorem tax will be necessary for the support of the state government during the coming year. However, the board points out that total estimated accruals to the general fund amounting to $58,352,217.00 slump far under the budget forecast of $65-000,000, so that financial stringency looms for the state if the new tax is retained as a permanent feature of the revenue system. Revenue from bank and corporation taxes will approximatte $5,500,000 in 1920, according to an estimate made for the Board of Equalization by the franchise tax commissioner, who is charged with the administration of the four per cent tax on net income. Last year these taxpayers contributed $9,458,000 under assessments made by the Equalization Board. It is said that normal increases would have brought the yield up to at least $9,700,000 had banks and corporations continued to be taxable in the same way so that the new law has caused a net loss to the state of $4,200,-000 or more. No segregation of the relative contributions of banks and corporations has been attempted by the franchise tax commissioner. Records kept by the Equalization Board reveal that last year bank shares were taxed at $4,766,779, while corporations were charged with franchise taxes of $4,691,340. It is predicted that a much smaller part of the total tax will be paid by banks this year although complete statistics are not yet available, owing to the fact that the filing of reports has been deferred by numerous large banks and corporations, under extensions granted by the commissioner. Walnut Growers Are to Assemble Quite a considerable stream of water ran under the Olive bridge on Monday, the result of heavy downpours in the mountains. This is a sight rarely witnessed, as river water has not flowed down as far as the bridge at this time of the year in a decade. Old timers say the Arizona storms, coupled with those in the mountains of Southern California, point to a winter of heavy rainfall. The man who doesn't believe in signs says nothing, but hopes so. Plans for the new primary school building to be erected at the corner of Olive and Broadway have been adopted by the school trustees. The plans are those of T. A. Hassfurther and C. A. Smith, both of Los Angeles. Each submitted separate proposals and the trustees selected what appeared to them the best portions of each. The building as projected will be in the mission style of architecture with plaster or imitation adobe walls, and will be one story with basement. It is to have four class rooms, each 25x32 feet, with library, teachers rooms, cloak rooms and all other necessary conveniences. The building will be modern in all its appointments. It will be heated by a furnace and will be equipped with a ventilating system which will admit of a complete change of air in each room in twenty-five minutes. The building will present an attractive appearance from every side, an important feature in view of the fact that it will be visible from two railroads. Frank Baum some days ago added a brand new gasoline stove to his kitchen and Mrs. Baum, although at first somewhat skeptical of the critter, found it worked to a charm, and declared it was the finest thing she ever saw. But a day or two ago it exploded and came near setting the house on fire. Only prompt action on her part saved the kitchen from being enveloped in a blaze. She smothered the fire by throwing a rug over it. The kitchen walls were badly charred and the escape of the building was narrow. Mr. Baum immediately thereafter ordered out the critter and will henceforth get along with the old-fashioned wood stove. Fire consumed twenty-five tons of loose barley hay on Tuesday morning at the ranch of J. J. Swartzbaugh, two miles east and half a mile north of Garden Grove. A small shed was also lost and only prompt action by volunteer fire fighters saved a stack of thirty tons of baled hay. When the blaze was discovered Mr. Swartzbaugh was away from home and his wife and children were on the opposite side of the ranch. The origin of the blaze is a mystery and incendiarism is strongly suspected. A picnic party consisting of Miss Adella Shtrodthoff, Miss Olga Zeus, Dr. and Mrs. Hatzfeld, Mr. and Mrs. G. Sandilands, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Weisel, Miss Hattie Weisel, Miss Allie Robison, Hugh Smith, Gus Strodthoff, Fritz Yangbluth, and Ed Zeus went to the canyon in a tally-ho last evening and after enjoying a social hop at the county park, returned to their homes late in the evening. The Katella Water Company has started work on its wells on the Hunt ranch. P. H. Krick, who has been putting down a well on his adjoining ranch, struck a good stream of water at eighty-five feet. The company expects to get a good flow from its wells. Hans Weisel departed on Monday for Stanford to take up his studies in the University. Hans' departure occasions many a sigh...

The company expects to get a good flow from its wells. Hans Weisel departed on Monday for Stanford to take up his studies in the University. Hans' departure occasions many a sigh among the younger fair sex, with whom he is deservedly popular. N. Hart reports the sale of all property belonging to the estate of the late Mrs. Metz. He has $30,000 in bank to the credit of the estate. A division among the heirs will soon be made. James J. Whalley and Miss Edith S. Ball, popular young people of the West End, were married at the Christian church on Sunday morning. Rev. Markel officiated. The young couple will reside at West Anaheim. C. Bruce has purchased a rooming house on West Second street, Los Angeles, and went to that city yesterday to look over his new property. Clarence Kennedy, manager of the cannery, was initiated into the Old Fellows Lodge on Tuesday evening. Charley Stadtegger took the second degree. Herman Schindler returned this week from a three weeks' visit to the World's Fair and Chicago. Miss Hilda Witte and Miss Payne of Los Angeles visited on Sunday with Mrs. Beebe. Father Vlach of San Diego was a guest this week of Father Dubble. Father Vlach has been in the service of the church at San Diego for more than forty years. He wears a long, white beard, having had a special dispensation from the Pope permitting it. Charley Bauer and wife were in town from Westminster on Sunday, visiting with friends. City Surveyor Steward is engaged this week in setting grade stakes on streets, preparatory to the laying of cement sidewalks.
