IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a C Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Hist the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 3, 1879. The Anaheim Literary Union convened at the Presbyterian church Friday evening, September 26, and was called to order by the president, J. M. Guinn. The regular secretary being absent, Mr. C. S. Miles was appointed secretary pro tem. The first literary exercise of the evening was a select reading by Miss Fannie Higgins. Mr. Chas. S. Miles gave a declamation, a translation from Richter. The piece was well rendered by the speaker and well received by the audience. Miss Sadie Growther recited Southey's poem, "The Inchcape Rock." Her tone was clear and loud, her inflections correct and her emphasis rightly placed. Her recitation was listened to with pleasure and loudly applauded at the close. After recess Mr. Grimshaw favored the audience with a song. Miss Mary Brier read the society's paper, The Leader. This was one of the best numbers presented. The contributions varied from the grave to the gay. Many of the articles that appear in the Leader would do honor to the pages of a more pretentious periodical. The article, "Old Saws Reset," was decidedly witty. The author poked fun at the "early bird" of the old proverb in a way that the old fowl would despise, and rocked glass houses in a way that would astonish their occupants. Miss Anna Fischer and Miss Ella Mitchell gave a very fine rendering of the song, "Let the dead and the beautiful rest." The next meeting of the society will be held this evening. The following program will be presented: Declamations by Messrs. C. W. Campbell and C. H. Zeyn; recitation by Miss Laura Campbell; reading by Miss des Granges, after Miss Mary Brief read the society's Paper. The Leader. This was one of the best numbers presented.

Zeyn; recitation by Miss Laura Campbell; reading by Miss des Granges, after which the following local question will be discussed: Resolved That a productive country with poor climate is preferable to a healthy climate but uncertain agricultural resources. Affirmative Messrs. Ferguson, Grimshaw and Saxton. Negative, Messrs. Henderson, Miles and Guinn. The Town Trustees met in regular session on Wednesday. A number of bills were referred to the finance committee and others were ordered paid. In the matter of fire hose it was found that the entire revenue of the town would be needed to pay off the indebtedness already incurred in laying the water pipe, etc., and that the Fire Department must themselves furnish the hose. It is understood that the department has $200 in the treasury available for that purpose. Temporary water rates were fixed and those desiring to make connection with the main pipe will be informed of the rate upon applying to Mr. Seibert. A number of young friends of Miss Mary Horstman besieged the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Korn on Thursday evening and took the place by storm. The "surprise" was a genuine one and seemed from that fact to be more enjoyable. The party was royally entertained and the evening passed as pleasantly as could be wished. Mr. J. K. Tuffree has opened up a real estate office in the Planters Hotel. When not otherwise engaged, he will be found in his office during business hours and during his absence visitors and patrons will be received by Mr. John Hanna. The signs are that real estate will be in demand in the near future. The Congregational Fair at Westminster was held on Thursday during the day and evening. Prizes for a collection of apples, quinces, pears, peaches, almonds, figs, tomatoes and grapes were presented to Daniel Grisworld, 1st, and S. Lyman, 2nd. Dr. Gregory and Dr. Cowan of Anaheim sent fine apples. Mr. Strong's nursery also sent fine fruit. Mrs. John Beckett and Mrs. Jesse Bowley won prizes for butter. Nellie Lawson won the prize for cake. Hattie Clark for white bread, and Mary Aldrich for brown bread. Among the exhibits was a case of ancient coins by W. T. Marquis, a case of stuffed birds, birds' nests and eggs by A. L. Taylor, a case of new style fall hats and trimmings by Mrs. Flora Brown of Anaheim. A child's suit by Mrs. Lewis of Anaheim. A rib quilt and pillow sham, the work of Miss Hartung of Anaheim. We acknowledge a call from Mr. Henry Wayman of Westminster. In a recent trip through the mountains and to the Hot Springs Mr. Wayman saw a great number of deer and was informed that bears were becoming every day more troublesome and plentiful. It seems that it is hard times even with bears. The feed is so scarce high up in the mountains that they are forced to come down into the canyons and raid upon the bees kept there.

On the way to school on Wednesday morning Master Willie Hilmer stopped to play upon the vacant lot next to Plato's store, and while amusing himself fell on a piece of board from which two nails protruded. They entered his forehead and cheek, inflicting painful wounds. Jotham Bixby, E. N. McDonald and Thomas B. Hayes, all of Wilmington, have published a notice that at the meeting of the Board of Supervisors in November they will apply for authority to construct a wharf on the Palos Verdes Rancho, Old San Pedro. Mr. John Fischer and family left on Wednesday for Los Angeles, where they will take up their residence for a time. We hope they will find it to their interest to return here again at some future time. At the meeting of the Anaheim Water Company on last Friday, Mr. John Fischer resigned his position as secretary and trustee and Mr. E. Schubert was elected to fill the vacancy. The lady friends of St. Michael's Episcopal Mission are cordially invited to meet at Mrs. G. H. Kellogg's home on next Tuesday at 2 p.m., for the purpose of discussing ways and means of getting up some kind of acceptable entertainment in behalf of the church. A fine, new, large flag was sent to Anaheim Landing on Thursday by Goodman & Rimpa. The loser of a black figured silk parasol can be informed as to its whereabouts by applying at this office. Mrs. Kuelp is now prepared to take charge of a limited number of children, not over ten years of age, to form a German kindergarten and to furnish them a preliminary education. For particulars inquire at the residence of Mrs. Kuelp, DAYS OF LONG AGO Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century by Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 29, 1904.

A party composed of Herman Stern, Eddie Boege and Pete Nicolas, together with a number of young ladies, journeyed up to the head of the ditch on Sunday for the purpose of enjoying a "Dutch Pot," in the preparation of which Captain Stern is justly famous. A Dutch pot consists of doves, cottontails and other game baked in a large iron pot and is said to be as savory as the prize dish of a chef. However, hunting was not very good, only one dove and two rabbits were secured. A foraging party was sent out to neighboring barnyards and a sufficient number of spring chickens secured for an excellent pot, in the discussion of which the party was later engaged. The repast was a toothsome treat and was greatly enjoyed by all. Submerged Weir In Upper Stream Orange County May Appropriate $30,000 in Aid of Water Conservation Hope that Orange county will contribute $30,000 toward construction of a submerged weir in the upper stream of the Santa Ana river in San Bernardino county, is revived among water conservationists with the Orange county supervisors taking the proposal under advisement. The entire project would cost approximately $80,000, according to engineers' estimates, and would be placed at a point not yet definitely decided upon in the Santa Ana canyon east of Highlands. Riverside and Orange counties would also contribute to this construction, but in what amount has not been decided. It was upon this subject that Supervisor George Biggin and T. C. Jameson of the Riverside board visited the Orange county supervisors to sound out their position. The request to the Orange county supervisors was presented by Attorney H. C. Head, member of the Tri-County Reforestation Committee, and prominently identified with Orange county water interests. Head called attention to the participation of private organizations of this county in tri-county conservation work and the resulting pact with the upper counties by which flood waters of the Santa Ana river are not diverted by the upper counties until the surface flow reaches the Chapman avenue bridge. Under this friendly pact, which also keeps Riverside county irrigationists from pumping waters from the Riverside basin and causes them to pump from the basins above, thus increasing the water supply eventually coming to Orange county, the three counties have co-operated very efficiently and peaceably in development and use of the river water. Head said.

The repast was a toothsome treat and was greatly enjoyed by all. If there ever existed any doubt as to the popularity of Senator Smith in Orange county, that doubt must have been dispelled by the cracker-jack meeting at the armory on Saturday evening. Seldom has such a largely attended political meeting been held in this city, and never was a more popular and deserving citizen so signally honored. The spacious hall was filled to overflowing. Eight hundred seats had been provided, in addition to benches around the hall, and these were occupied soon after the doors of the armory were opened. Standing room was at a premium and many were unable to enter. Senator Smith arrived on the 6 o'clock Southern Pacific train and was met by a committee of Republicans and driven to the Commercial hotel, where he maintained headquarters. At 7:30 a special train bearing the Columbia Club of Santa Ana, under command of Captain Nate Ulm, arrived. Accompanying them were upward of 100 citizens of the county seat and of Orange. Among them were R. Y. Williams, chairman of the Republican county central committee, County Treasurer Potter, Clerk Lester, Bryant Williams, Postmaster Shaw, Capt. Toke and other party notables. Mrs. Elizabeth Helmsen, the venerable mother of our fellow-townsman Joseph Helmsen, died at her home in this city on Sunday morning, after an illness of more than two years. She was in her seventy-ninth year and leaves an only son to mourn her demise. The remains were taken to Los Angeles on Monday and cremated at Rosedale cemetery. Later the ashes will be shipped to Leavenworth, Kansas and entombed beside those of her husband, who died in 1868. Mrs. Helmsen had lived here 29 years, arriving here with her son April 30, 1875. She and her son were passengers on the ill-fated steamer Ventura, which was wrecked off the Monterey coast on her trip south. They lost all in the wreck, saving nothing. Theodore Deidrich has returned from a three months' visit to the World's Fair. He reports a very pleasant trip, adding that the big show is well worth seeing. Registration closed last night in Orange county. The total mounts up near the 6,000 mark. Figures are not yet obtainable, but that there will be substantial increase over the vote of two years ago is evident. Joseph Helmsen registered up to yesterday afternoon 372 voters, and E. E. Merritt, 144. A total for the city of Anaheim and vicinity of 516. George B. Hatfield, the venerable father of Joseph Hatfield, attained his eighty-ninth birthday on Monday. The old gentleman is sprightly as a cricket and celebrated his birthday by going to Newport Beach to spend Tuesday fishing with his son. Wm. Falkenstein has purchased a building lot on Broadway near Claudina for $300 from Susan Edwards. Mr. Falkenstein pacific waters of the Santa Ana river are not divested by the upper counties until the surface flow reaches the Chapman avenue bridge. Under this friendly pact, which also keeps Riverside county irrigationists from pumping waters from the River-side basin and causes them to pump from the basins above, thus increasing the water supply eventually coming to Orange county, the three counties have co-operated very efficiently and peaceably in development and use of the river water. Head said. The county probably would be expected to appropriate $20,000 at the rate of $1$0,000 a year for two years, the other $10,000 to be raised by private organizations, he said. One of the most common causes of failure in making sauerkraut is the use of too much salt. The right quantity is 2½ per cent by weight of the cabbage packed. When cabbage is to be fermented in very warm weather, it may be well to use a little more salt but not at exceed 3 per cent. The salt should be evenly distributed. The red streaks sometimes seen in sauerkraut are believed to be due to uneven distribution of salt. TIMETABLE In effect June 9, 1989 A. T. & S. F. Ry.

Falkenstein has purchased a building lot on Broadway near Claudina for $300 from Susan Edwards. Mr. Falkenstein contemplates the erection of a commodious residence thereon in the near future. Pat Seale left yesterday for a trip around the kite-shaped track with a view to locating at some promising town along the route and growing up with the country. Mr. Neff has been advised of his selection by the managers of a forthcoming farmers' institute at Berkeley, to read a paper and discuss the subject of walnuts. He will leave for the north some time during the coming month. Neill Bailey, formerly of this city, now a resident of Naco, was on Saturday nominated by the Democratic convention of Cochise county for the Territorial Assembly. The county has a large Democratic majority. Neill expects to make a record-breaking run. J. B. Rae departed this week for St. Louis, where he will attend the fair. Later he will visit other points of interest and will go across the line to see his old home in Canada. Wagner Bros. have a potato patch of some 135 acres on the Olive road east of town. Last season they had in 65 acres, and from many acres gathered 110 sacks. These sold at $1.75 a sack and they cleaned up well towards $10,000 on the crop. The present crop gives excellent indications of yielding well, and an excellent crop will doubtless be harvested. Miss Poldie Heimann came down from Los Angeles on Sunday to spend the day with friends in town, returning to her home on the evening train. E. Turk has gone to Louisiana to take up his work as head chemist in the Oxnard sugar factory. His family will continue to reside here.
