IN THE DAYS OF I 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 the 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 17, 1879. The Anaheim Literary Union convened at the usual time and place. A good audience was in attendance. After the reading of the minutes, Miss Carrie Seibert favored the society with a song. Mrs. Parker declaimed an original poem entitled "Two Epochs in My Life." Mr. Ernest Ferguson gave a select reading, "Memory's Bells." A new feature in the literary exercises of the society was introduced—namely, answering queries from the query box. The questions ranged from the nonsensical to the philosophical, from the kind of feathers on Cupid's arrows to the cause of the twinkling of the stars. The committee, Mr. E. A. Saxton and Miss Ada desGranges, gave satisfactory answers to most of the questions. After recess, Mr. Grimshaw sang a solo, "Kind Words Can Never Die." The society's paper, the Leader, was read by the editoress, Miss Mary Brier. This number was an excellent one. Miss Lydia Parker was chosen a member of the society. The following was reported as the program for the next meeting: Instrumental music; essay, Wm. Fish; declamation, Otto des Granges; music, old-fashioned music to a new-fashioned tune, by Mrs. Parker; select reading, J. M. Guinn; answerering queries by the committee; declamation, C. S. Miles; select reading, Miss Mary Brier; recess; music; declamation, Rev. E. Halliday; select reading, E. A. Saxton; declamation, Charles Higgins; recitation, Miss Mary Kraemer; music. Mr. J. K. Tuffree has evidently inaugurated his real estate. Orange county many by several shows an increase in population county's total population Many voters are the apathetic calling absent in the Los Angeles county in two years, the city 41,000 county of San Bernardino entire Southland of the northern o Mr. J. K. Tuffree has evidently inaugurated his real estate and commission agency just in the nick of time. Every sign points to a speedy influx of land seekers into this part of the state and as this is the acknowledged garden spot of the county, we cannot probably fail to secure a large share of the new population. Mr. Tuffree has a larges amount of improved and unimproved land for sale, which intending purchases should examine. Especial attention is directed to the inducements he offers those who will agree to cultivate sugar beets or wheat the coming season: Considerable damage was done in Los Angeles by the rain of last Monday. The overflow from the ditches poured down Alameda street and under the immense storehouse of Lankershim and Van Nuys (formerly the Commercial street depot). The weight of the 50,000 sacks of wheat stored in the warehouse caused it to settle to nearly the level of the street, and wrenched and twisted it out of all shape. The damage to the building is about $1,500 and the damage to the wheat by water is unascertainable. Announcement is made that the greenbackers of this county will meet in convention in Los Angeles on Thursday, December 26th, to select a delegate to the convention of the National Union Greenback Labor Party, which meets in St. Louis, Mo., on January 8th, 1880, to nominate candidates for President and Vice-President of the United States. Mr. W. E. Taylor came down from Santiago Canyon on Wednesday. He reports a fine prospect at the Santiago Company's mine. The tunnel is now in 75 feet and he thinks that another 15 feet will show up the third ledge, which is expected to far exceed in size and richness the two already opened. Mr. Taylor brought down a splendid specimen of ore which has been sent to the fair. It was a piece of pure galena, weighing thirty-four pounds. Mr. David Lewis informs the Journal that his "hopyard" of twelve acres, located at El Monte, yields this year about a ton to the acre, for which he received an average of 27 cents per pound, or an average of $540 per acre. Mr. Lewis states that it costs about 15 cents per pound to raise them and place them in market, which would leave a net profit of $240 per acre. There being no grass on the fields now, it is a favorable time to get rid of squirrels. As afficacious a way as any is to put poison on watermelon rind and scatter it near the haunts of the pests. Mr. John Hanna cleared his ranch of squirrels in one day by this methods. The Anaheim Fire Company at a meeting on Wednesday evening resolved to solicit subscriptions from the citizens of the town to enable them to purchase the needed quantity of fire hose. The company will head the list with a subscription of $150. There being no grass on the fields now, it is a favorable time to get rid of squirrels.

On Monday evening the cornet contest will take place, and on Wednesday and Thursday evenings the band tournament is the attraction. The storm of Sunday night was preceded by a brilliant meteor which flashed across the sky about 9 o'clock. The heavens were illuminated with an unearthly brilliance for a few moments. Those who intend going to the fair should try to take advantage of the reduced rates on the excursion train which runs on Friday. The tickets are good for two days and a saving of one dollar can be made. Mr. H. Werder has succeeded in making a fine quality of brandy from honey. It is possible that the surplus honey could be sold to the distillers at a fairly remunerative price. The second annual exhibition of the Southern California Horizontal Society opens at the Pavilion in Los Angeles on Monday, October 20th, 1879, and continues six days. The southern district agricultural society will hold their stock fair and races at the Park during the week. A grand military encampment, composed of San Francisco cadets, Los Angeles guards and other military companies will take place during the fair. The Oregon exhibit now at Mechanics Fair in San Francisco, will be taken to Los Angeles. The Board of Supervisors have appointed D. K. Williams road overseer of Anaheim road district vice E. W. Champlin, resigned. The corn crop of Downey will be shortened about one-fourth owing to a small insect which settles upon the "short" and extracts its juices. Mr. J. D. Gage of Santa Ana contemplates emigrating to New Hampshire. It is a pity that such valuable citizens should think of leaving just as prosperous times are almost upon us. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 13, 1904. Orange county's total registration amounts to 5,750, not so many by several hundred as was prophesied a month ago. This shows an increase of 735 voters in two years, and indicates an increase in population during that time of nearly 4,000. The county's total population is now in the neighborhood of 30,000. Many voters are known to have neglected to register, owing to the apathetic campaign and doubtless others will fail to vote, being absent in the east or contemplating trips to the World's Fair. Los Angeles county shows an increase of 20,000 registered voters in two years, the total number in the county being 67,000 and in the city 41,000. The latter figure is half the vote of the city and county of San Francisco, which has 87,000 registrations. The entire Southland shows large gains in voting strength, while some of the northern counties have retrograded. Anaheim's Chamber of Commerce is moving in the matter of strengthening banks of the Santa Ana river east of town, and has asked co-operation of other similar bodies in the county. The matter is one which should engage earnest attention on the part of the Board of Supervisors, and steps should be at once taken to prevent possibility of overflow if we should have a wet winter. Thousands of dollars have been expended upon the river's banks, affording only temporary relief, and the time seems to have arrived for concerted action looking to permanent levee work. Great damage may result from overflow and the supervisors should take NOTICE OF SALE OF PROPERTY DELINQUENT FOR NON-PAYMENT OF BOND NO. 96, SERIES NO. 1, ISSUED FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF CERTAIN STREETS ADJOINING AND WITHIN MILLS PARK TRACT. Default having been made in the payment of the following named coupons, to-wit: Principal coupon for $168.57, which became due 1-2-28. Principal coupon for $168.57, which became due 1-2-29.

Interest coupon for $29.50, which became due 7-2-1929. And the holder of said bond having demanded in writing that the City Treasurer of the City of Anaheim proceed to advertise and sell the lot or parcel of land mentioned in the said bond. Now, therefore, I give notice that I will, on the 18th day of October, 1929, at the hour of 10:30 o'clock a.m., m. of said day, sell at public auction the lot or parcel of land mentioned in said bond or so much thereof as may be necessary, at the office of the said Treasurer, in the City Hall of said City of Anaheim, unless the amount due on said bond and the accrued interest thereon, together with the cost of the publication of this notice are paid; and that I will so sell the same to the person who will take the least amount of said lot or parcel of land and pay the full amount of principal and interest on said bond, together with the costs of publication. The lot or parcel of land mentioned in said bond and to be sold, is more particularly described, to-wit: Lot 9, Block 1, of Tract No. 304, Mills Park Tract, in the City of Anaheim, Orange County, California. The amount due on said bond up to date of this notice is as follows: Due on the principal thereof... $1,179.99 Due on account of interest... 198.99 Anaheim's Chamber of Commerce is moving in the matter of strengthening banks of the Santa Ana river east of town, and has asked co-operation of other similar bodies in the county. The matter is one which should engage earnest attention on the part of the Board of Supervisors, and steps should be at once taken to prevent possibility of overflow if we should have a wet winter. Thousands of dollars have been expended upon the river's banks, affording only temporary relief, and the time seems to have arrived for concerted action looking to permanent levee work. Great damage may result from overflow and the supervisors should take immediate steps in line with suggestions of those most vitally interested. School trustees at their meeting on Monday evening opened four bids for constructing the new primary school building on Broadway and Olive streets. The successful bidder was George Croner and G. D. Ingraham of Fullerton, whose figures were $7,400. Mr. Strehle bid $7,650. D. T. Hill of Pasadena $8,450, and C. H. Smith of Fullerton $9,086. Contract was awarded to Croner and Ingraham, who will begin work forthwith. The building is to be completed by January 1st. Stockholders of the Placentia Orange Growers' Association met at Fullerton some days ago and elected the following board of directors: F. B. Dunham, E. F. C. Klokke, A. McDermont, A. Pierroti, E. P. Richman, H. W. Schultz and F. Thum. The board of directors were authorized to take the necessary steps to extend the incorporation for a period of forty years. It was resolved that the association believes it to be for its best interests to market its crop of oranges through the Southern California Fruit Exchange. Mr. J. A. Reid, secretary of the Semi-Tropic Fruit Exchange, addressed the meeting on the marketing methods and facilities of the S. C. F. C. Mrs. Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana has been re-elected president of the California Division, Daughters of the Confederacy, recently in session at Los Angeles. Mrs. Montgomery in her annual address paid a very handsome tribute to the valor of Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. She is a lady of great beauty as well as force of character and the Daughters of the Confederacy have honored themselves by honoring her with re-election as their presiding officer. Mr. Neff has imported a new walnut huller, which is now in operation on his ranch near town. The huller is a new invention and comes from Goleta, Santa Barbara county. Sixty sacks of nuts per day may be washed and hulled by two men operating the machine. Mrs. J. W. Patterson died at her home in Long Beach on Friday afternoon of peritonitis. Mrs. Patterson was formerly Miss Dora Scott of this city and resided here with her family for many years. Her father was Robert W. Scott, a well known pioneer lawyer of Anaheim. L. Z: Huntington contemplates embarking upon the nursery business at his place in the west end. Mr. Huntington is an experienced tree grower and is an authority upon matters concerning the horticulturist.

The Anaheim Gazette is designated as the newspaper in which this notice shall be published. CHAS. A. BOEGE, Treasurer of the City of Anaheim. Dated: October 3rd, 1929. 10-3-2t L. Z.

At a meeting of the young people at Miller's Hall last Friday a literary and debating society was organized. The meeting was well attended and gives promise of a successful society. The next meeting will be held Friday, Oct. 27. E. W. Champlin visited several days last week with his daughter, Mrs. Fred Chamberlin, wife of the editor of the Santa Ana Bulletin. Jos.
