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 19, 1879. The following rates charged for water at Riverside may interest some of our readers: Ten-acre lots—a 2½-inch stream per year, payable monthly, $48. Extra water by the day, 4 cents per inch; by the day and night, 3 cents per inch. The above are rates charged to those who have purchased lands and canal stock. Other persons pay $72 per year for a 2½ inch stream. Riverside Press: Some eight or ten gentlemen, including the Rev. Mr. Miller, passed through Riverside last Wednesday on their way to San Jacinto with a surveyor, in order to look up a location for a colony. They are from the vicinity of Gospel Swamp—we believe the Las Bolsas grant which has been confirmed to the grantee, thus throwing out of their homes a large number of settlers who supposed they were on Government land. They intended to dig wells (water is found there at ten feet) and raise cereal crops. At a meeting of the Board of Supervisors on Thursday of last week, the following proceeding was had: On motion of Supervisor Ott, the order made July 23rd, 1879, setting off Upper Santa Ana, now called Yorba precinct, to Anaheim township, be and the same is hereby rescinded, and the said territory restored to Santa Ana township. Messrs. Goodman and Rimpau are shipping via Anaheim At a meeting of the Board of Supervisors on Thursday of last week, the following proceeding was had: On motion of Supervisor Ott, the order made July 23rd, 1879, setting off Upper Santa Ana, now called Yorba precinct, to Anaheim township, be and the same is hereby rescinded, and the said territory restored to Santa Ana township. Messrs. Goodman and Rimpau are shipping via Anaheim Landing over three thousands sacks of barley raised in the Los Nietos country. Mr. Paty, who is hauling the grain, tells us that the warehouses at the Landing are rapidly filling up with wool and grain, and that all the lighters are now in use conveying freight to the steamers. A month or two ago the transportation business at the Landing was stagnant, but it is now lively beyond expectations. The Board of City Trustees met on Monday and agreed to accept the water pipe, on receiving a guarantee from Harper, Moore & Co., the assignees of the contractor, that they would repair any leakage that may occur in the pipe during the next six months. The clerk was instructed to make inquiries as to the best kind of hose for fire purposes, and the cost per foot. It was resolved to make a uniform charge of $10 for making connections with the main pipe, that being the lowest figure it can be done for. While a resident of Anaheim was walking in one of the orange groves of Los Angeles the other day, he saw on the limbs of one of the trees what looked like a ripe orange. He plucked it, but found that instead of an orange, it was nine yellow bats clinging together, heads downward, and the spherical form into which they had crowded themselves and their color made them look exactly like a ripe orange to a casual observer. Yellow bats, though scarce, are not unknown in Anaheim. The young English physician who contemplates the purchase of Dr. Ellis' sanatorium left London about August 24th and will probably reach Anaheim in a few days. His father writes to Dr. Ellis that if his son writes favorably upon the climate of Anaheim he will probably join him here without delay. Having lived for some years in a tropical country, he finds the fogs of London unendurable. Dr. Ellis contemplates a retirement to Silverado, for the double purpose of securing needed rest and looking after his mining interests in that section. Twenty of our citizens were summoned to Los Angeles on Monday to answer to their qualifications as jurors in the case of Pierre Billiard, who killed "Shakes." Only two of the twenty—Isaac Cohen and Max Nebelung were retained on the jury. The jury found Billiard guilty of manslaughter. Sentence will be passed on Monday. The team of W. H. Spurgeon of Santa Ana ran away last Tuesday afternoon while his two little children were in the wagon. The little ones held on the seat of the wagon while the horses ran a distance of two miles at a frightful speed. The runaways collided with a large wagon and the children were thrown to the ground, but fortunately escaped serious injury. Mr. E. M. Ferguson of the city drug store attained his legal majority on last Tuesday, and his many friends took occasion to The team of W. H.

The runaways collided with a large wagon and the children were thrown to the ground, but fortunately escaped serious injury. Mr. E. M. Ferguson of the city drug store attained his legal majority on last Tuesday, and his many friends took occasion to drop in and wish him many happy returns. The Gazette knows that his life will be an honorable one, and hopes that it will be a long one. The temperature in Los Angeles on last Friday and Saturday was perfectly torrid. The discomfort experienced by the denizens of that city was very great. The thermometer in Anaheim on those days indicated only 104 degrees in the shade. The birthday of our friend, M. L. Goodman, was on last Wednesday. Though Mr. Goodman is a trifle older than the other gentleman whose birthday we notice, his genial good nature enables him to carry his years lightly. May he live forever. Eight thousand acres of the San Francisco ranch near Newhall will be sown in wheat this winter. The ranch is owned by H. M. Newhall of San Francisco, and the superintendent is D. W. Field, formerly of Anaheim. P. Pearson has been appointed Justice of the Peace and E. A. Pullen Constable of Silverado township, by the Board of Supervisors. D. C. Hayward of Orange had a display of tropical fruit at the State Fair in Sacramento, and a special premium was awarded to him. Sixteen trains arrive and depart daily from the Los Angeles depot. The Ancon, which sailed from San Pedro on Monday for San Francisco had as part cargo 320 tons of hay. Tuesday was Mexican Independence Day and there was quite a celebration in Los Angeles. Besides the usual procession, orations, etc., there was a bull fight in Agricultural Park. S OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of Change County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 15, 1904. An enthusiastic meeting of the Anaheim Republican Club was held at Miller's Hall on Monday evening. In the absence of President Bissell, who was detained at home on account of a critical turn in his father's illness, Vice-President Lawrence presided. Secretary W. A. Newberry read the minutes of last meeting which were approved. An invitation was extended the Columbia Marshing Club of Santa Ana, as well as all patriotic citizens of that place to attend the meeting to be held at the opera house here the evening of September 24th, when Hon. S. C. Smith, Republican nominee for Congress in the Eighth District will open his campaign in this part of the district. Richard Melrose was elected to preside at the meeting and will deliver a short address. Clyde Bishop will also speak upon the political issues of the day. An invitation was extended all communities in the northern and western portions of the county, which have no Republican clubs, to affiliate with the Anaheim Club. Invitations have also been extended to people of Fullerton, Placentia, Yorba, Buena Park, Centralia, Los Alamitos and other sections to become members of the club and to send delegates to the meeting. An executive committee, consisting of H. Stern, H. A. Dickel and Wm. Crowther, was appointed. Members of the club were each assessed $1 to pay campaign expenses. THE NEW MACHINE AGE Various recent reports and studies indicate that the automobile, motion picture, radio and airplane have passed the stage of being regarded purely as devices of amusement, entertainment and spectacle. They have now come within the purview of economists and social students, because of the changes they are bringing about in social customs. They have speeded up the pace of progress and given us such new types as the "shiek" and the flapper, the intelligentia and the sophisticated younger generation. The automobile, the radio, motion picture and the airplane have all been perfected within a bout a quarter of a century. How differently their advent was greeted than that of the steam engine, of power machinery and of electricity! Those great innovations were either ridiculed or regarded with incredulity. When power machinery was put into operation in England, many of its effects were unfortunate. It caused much unemployment and resulted in sweat shops and congestion. It brought about "the industrial revolution." Although the advent of the automobile, the motion picture, the radio and the airplane has not met with derision or incredulity, it has brought many problems and changes. It has induced a revolution as great as that occasioned by the application of power machinery. Verily, we are living in a new machine age. For example, consider the changes brought by the automobile. It has not only taken its place as a new agency of transportation, but has also brought traffic problems and developed new types of roads. It has affected some life and leisure, added new words to the language, widened the bounds of cities and established new relations between rural and urban districts. It has given employment to thousands. Its influence has been felt in the stock market, in exports and imports, in the quest for oil and in international relations. It has profoundly affected social equilibrium and made new adjustments necessary. This generation, far from meeting its new inventions with ridicule or incredulity, will deliver a short address. Clyde Bishop will also speak upon the political issues of the day. An invitation was extended all communities in the northern and western portions of the county, which have no Republican clubs, to affiliate with the Anaheim Club. Invitations have also been extended to people of Fullerton, Placentia, Yorba, Buena Park, Centralia, Los Alamitos and other sections to become members of the club and to send delegates to the meeting. An executive committee, consisting of H. Stern, H. A. Dickel and Wm. Crowther, was appointed. Members of the club were each assessed $1 to pay campaign expenses. The Adams Phillips Co. of Los Angeles were the successful bidders for the $40,000 bonds recently voted by the city, for the purpose of erecting a new primary school building. The company bid par, accrued interest, and $43 premium. Plans for the new building have already been adopted and the directors will at once advertise for bids and let the contract as soon as possible. Judge West on Saturday took the first step in the suit against the Las Bolsas High School Trustees by issuing an order calling upon the trustees who are defendants in the suit filed by J. M. Hall, to show cause why a temporary injunction should not be issued restraining them from holding school at any other place than at or near Bolaa, where the electors voted to locate the institution. The writ is returnable Friday, at which time the answer of the trustees will be heard in court. The Olinda and Fullerton oil well pick-up nines played ball at the foothill grounds on Sunday, the latter winning by a score of 8 to 0. After the game cooling refreshments and smokes were had on Yungbluth & Kroeger of this city. Olaf Warling of this city and Miss Bertha Smithwick, daughter of Judge Smithwick of Santa Ana, were married at high noon yesterday at the residence of the bride's sister in Los Angeles. A short honeymoon will be spent at Santa Barbara, after which the newly married couple will come to this city to reside. John Kellenberger, chief engineer of Buena Park creamery, was in town on Saturday all decked out in a summer suit and new Panama hat. What's up, John? Arthur Renner, while playing with a number of young folks at Rev. Hilmer's residence on Clementine street some evenings ago fell while jumping from a porch into a tree and sustained a fracture of both wrists. Dr. Tyler reduced the fracture and Arthur has resolved when making record-breaking leaps, to get a flying machine. Mr. and Mrs. Hatfield entertained a number of friends at Jinner on Friday, in honor of the officers of Company E. The lining room was decorated in smilax and above the table was suspended a miniature silk flag. A sumptuous repast was served to which ample justice was done. Later in the evening cards engaged the attention of the guests. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Hatfield, Capt. Stern, Lieuts. Ed Zeus and L. Kroeger, Mr. and Mrs. Steadman, Miss Fuller, Miss Bentz, Miss Lena Kroeger and Fritz Yungbluth. W. L. Hale was in town from Placentia this week in his automobile.

She was accompanied as far as Colorado by her sister, Ethel, who assumes her work as supervisor of drawing of the public schools. Mrs. Will Lawrence leaves today to join her husband at Cochise, A. T., after a pleasant visit with relatives here. Her little daughter, who sustained a broken leg some weeks ago, will remain with her grandmother, Mrs. Robison. Miss L. L. Ingraham returned on Monday from her trip to the World's Fair and to her former home in Indianapolis. She reports an enjoyable trip, her visit to Yellowstone Park having been a delightful feature. She returned in time to take up her work in the high schools of this city and Fullerton, where she has large classes in drawing. Paul Turk was in town this week from San Francisco on his way to Terra Haute, Ind., to again take up his studies at Rose Polytechnic school. Turk attended the Terra Haute school one year and made such a good showing in athletics that his former associates there have invited him to return, accompanying the same with a purse of money. Turk was considered the best amateur in Southern California in one inter-scholastic meet last year, making more points than all other contestants combined, taking first place in running, jumping, vaulting, shot and hammer put. Miss Edith Warner of this city and Charles Cloud of San Francisco were married in Los Angeles some days ago. Mrs. E. E. Beazeley of Orangethorpe avenue had the misfortune some days ago to meet with quite a serious accident. In handling a fruit jar she received a cut which severed the arteries in her wrist and she very nearly bled to death before the flow was entirely stopped.
