IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Hist the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 24, 1879 The Los Angeles Herald copies an editorial on the Anaheim colony, published last week, and prefaces it with the following remarks: It should never be forgotten that the first distinctive and successful colonial experiment in California was made in this county. It was not only successful from a business standpoint out from a poetical one as well. Anaheim is sui generis amongst all the schemes of men to associate themselves in agricultural and horticultural effort. Anaheim is today a "solid community. Not only that, but it is a settlement beautiful by every natural and artificial adjunct of wealth. There are regions in the eastern states today twenty times as old as Anaheim which have not one twentieth part of the wealth of that charming region. The Literary Society held its usual weekly meeting on Friday October 17th. The first literary exercise was an essay by Wm. S. Fish, subject "False Pride." Following this was a comic declamation by Otto des Granges entitled "Mulebianca" which was rendered in fine style. Mr. Henderson rendered Tennyson's poem, "The Victim." Mrs. Parker sang a song to illustrate old fashioned singing. Her singing was in marked contrast to the fashionable howl of modern times. In the fashionable singing of today, the main effort of the singist seems to be to chew and mangle the words until they are unrecogizable. Mrs. Parker's enunciation was so clear and distinct that every word could be understood. Miss Brier gave a select reading, "Before the Wedding." The selection was well read. After recess, Mr. Grimshaw sang "The October 17th. The first literary exercise was an essay by Wm. S. Fish, subject "False Pride."

After recess, Mr. Grimshaw sang "The White Squall." The Rev. Mr. Halliday declaimed a selection from Edmund Burke. Mr. J. M. Guinn read a short article from Mark Twain entitled "The Late Benjamin Franklin." Miss Alice Chase recited "How He Saved St. Michael's." This was one of the best recitations with which the society has been favored. Miss Chase has a very good voice and enunciates clearly. She enters into the spirit of her selection and brings out its full meaning. Miss Laura Campbell gave a very pleasing recitation, "The Match Boy." Miss Mary Kraemer recited a selection from Wordsworth which was very well delivered. Mr. C. W. Campbell read a selection from Longfellow. Mr. Henderson read Poe's "Raven." The following is the programme for next Friday evening. Music; declamation, D. R. Payne; recitation; Miss Sadie Crowther; declamation, Chas. Higgins; reading; Miss Nellie Kuchel; declamation, Herman Zeyn; answering queries; reading, F. M. Ferguson; reading of the society's paper. The Leader, by the editor, Miss Brier; declamation, C. P. Miles. We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of a complimentary invitation to be present at the celebration of the fourth anniversary of Santa Ana Lodge, No. 236, I. O. O. F., which will be held at Sycamore hall, Santa Ana, in the evening of Oct. 30. It will be a literary and social entertainment, but the small illustration at the bottom of the programme is suggestive of the festive dance which will no doubt top off the evening's entertainment. There was displayed on Tuesday on the counters of the Bank for bars of bullion from the Bidwell mine, Ivanpah, San Bernardino county, of the following weight and value respectively: 1369 ounces, 950 fine, value $1,681.50; 1334 ounces, 952 fine, $1,652.45; 1406, 972 fine, $1,766.92; 224, 972 fine, $286.72; total value, $5,377.62. Mr. John Torrey has an interesting article in the current number of the Horticulturist. Speaking of lemons, he writes: "We have received samples of the Lisbon lemon from Messrs. Langenberger and R. H. Gilman of Anaheim and G. C. Swan of San Diego. All prove excellent keepers, have thin rind, free from bitter taste, and are in every way equal to the best imported. As soon as California can produce a sufficient quantity of such fruit as these samples, importation must give way to exportation. A new method with vines. Capt. Publicover has about half an acre of muscat vines staked up some five feet high. The result of this additional wood is the more than doubling the amount of grapes to the vine. We understand they average ninety pounds to the vine. In other young vineyards thirty is a big average. The interest of the Caion Irrigation Company in the Caion ditch was sold at sherriff's sale on Wednesday for $3,542.25, that being the amount of A. Guy Smith & Co.'s claim and costs.

The purchaser was Mr. Wm. R. Olden acting for the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land company. Five years ago, the Vasques bandits caught Michael Hawlev, bound and robbed him. The tying up process was done so roughly that his wrists were injured, and a cancer developed in one of them. The hand had to be amputated some three weeks ago. Ladies who desire to make their friends nice Christmas presents will find at the store of Hippolyte Cahen a fine assortment of worsted, cardboard, slipper patterns, etc., of the latest designs. Messrs. Grimshaw and Sorensen are fitting up a fruit dryer in the rear of the former gentleman's place of business on Los Angeles street. The furnaces and smoke stack of the old Alden dryer will be used. U. S. Marshal Poole accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Dick Barham has been serving notices of ejectment upon the settlers on the Los Bolsas ranch since Wednesday. He has thirty days in which to make a return. Rev. B. Toombs preached in the Baptist church in Los Angeles so acceptably on last Sunday that it is likely he will receive an invitation to preach there permanently. In the District Court on Saturday the following proceeding was had: Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company vs. Anaheim Water Company et al—Plaintiff allowed till the 28th of October to file amended complaint. Mr. H. S. Austin is utterly prostrate with sickness. He has been removed to Mr. Evans' residence and is receiving the care of his sister, Mrs. Evans. DAYS 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 OCTOBER 20, 1904 If reports from Placentia are to be relied upon, and they come from authentic sources and with every semblance of probability, Democrats in that locality are declaring for Roosevelt and Smith (S. C. Smith of Kern for Congress) almost daily. This week the names of three are given who have declared they will renounce former political affiliations and support the Republican candidates. These voters are new acquisitions to the party, and their names do not include such former Democrats as A. T. Pendleton and J. C. Sheppard, both of whom are now and have since the last campaign been Republicans. Once more, how many Democratic walnut growers endorse their party's platform that the protection afforded their industry is a "robber tariff," which ought to be, and will be in the event of Democratic success, wiped off the statute books? With the California price of nuts fixed at 11 cents and Bordeaux and Grenoble nuts offering at five cents, to be laid down by the ship load at New York at 8 cents, how long would the wiring out of the tariff of 3 cents require to produce that tired feeling among Placentia Democrats engaged in the industry? How many of you Democrats will permit politics to carry away your business interests, to sacrifice the duty you owe to your family and your selves? Let us look at this question with the light of past experience before us; in other words, let us make it unanimous for the Republican ticket. Senator Smith has continued his campaign through Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and on Saturday addressed a great Tax Paying Time Will Soon Be Here Citizens Will Get Checkbooks Ready for Annual Contribution It won't be long now before the tax bill check must be made out and citizens of California will go through that annual period of wondering "how come the amount is so large." But the collection of taxes from individual citizens is a very necessary addition to the total of approximately $700,000,000 which is the annual cost of city, county and state government in California. It is pointed out in a discussion of governmental sources of revenue. The only real tax which is felt by the average citizen is the levy on his real estate and personal property, for which he must write out a check each year. But these items are only a part of a vastly complicated system of procuring revenue for the government. In California the sources of state and local (city and county) taxes are segregated. The citizen knows little of the taxes assessed against general business corporations, banks, public utilities and insurance companies which probably loom as large to them as the tax on "the old homestead" does to the average citizen. Maybe the citizen aids in paying a portion of these taxes when he turns up a light, or rides on a street car, but the actual process of the nickel slipping from his pocket and into that of the government is not apparent. For purposes of taxation, California has two distinct classifications of property—operative and non-operative. The operative property consists of the property of banks, insurance companies and such public service companies as railroads, gas and electric, telephone and telegraph, etc. All this operative property is taxed by the state, with the exception of certain real estate belonging to the companies. In addition these businesses must pay an income tax, in the case of banks and corporations. Senator Smith has continued his campaign through Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and on Saturday addressed a great rally at Riverside where Governor Pardee also spoke. Senator Smith's friends believe he will roll up a majority of 10,000 on election day. Estimates are made that the five southern counties of Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Orange will roll up a majority of 20,000 for Roosevelt and that the President's majority in the state will mount up to 75,000. Considerable interest attaches to the application for a gas franchise made to the city trustees by L. E. Miller. B. V. Beebe, and T. S. Grimshaw of this city as well as the application to lay pipes for conducting the gas along the streets by W. J. Bevans of Los Angeles. Each are representatives of different companies, and it is known that a third outside party was some days ago in town looking over the field with the intention of embarking in the enterprise. Mr. Bevans in his application to lay pipes and begin the manufacture of gas agreed to begin work in thirty days and have gas in within seventy days. The other gentlemen will probably begin work speedily should they be awarded the franchise. The city trustees will probably act upon the franchise upon an early date and work upon this important enterprise set in motion within a few weeks thereafter. The purpose is to manufacture gas for heating purposes within the municipality and probably to furnish gas for lighting purposes outside the corporate limits. The field is promising and no doubt the venture will be entirely successful. Mrs. J. P. Hatzfeld has purchased an Oldsmobile, one of the handsomest runabouts in the neighborhood, and has come to be quite an expert in driving the machine. She is frequently seen on the avenues enjoying cutouts with her new possession which she highly prizes. Mrs. Mae Ross-Lewin of Pasedena has been the guest of Mrs. Henry Adams this week. A social gathering was held in her honor on Friday evening when a large number of young people were present. Progressive hearts were played and light refreshments served. A pleasant evening was participated in by all. Miss Pauline Kroeger, while tying her horse in Fullerton where she had gone, accompanied by Mrs. Schindler and her two children to pay a visit to her sister, Mrs. Wisser, last Thursday, was thrown to the ground by the animal which had become frightened, reared and struck her in the face with its front feet. Miss Kroeger narrowly escaped serious if not fatal injuries by the timely aid of friends who came to her help. She was taken to the home of Mrs. Wisser where her injuries were attended to. Lorin Gates returned on Monday evening from the Klondike after an absence of seven years. He has an interest in a gold mine north of Dawson which has yielded large returns. In company of his father, F. A. Gates, he will shortly begin moving the latter's residence from Claire into this city, a site having been procured TIMETABLE In effect June 9, 1869 A. T. & S. F.

He has an interest in a gold mine north of Dawson which has yielded large returns. In company of his father, F. A. Gates, he will shortly begin moving the latter's residence from Claire into this city, a site having been procured near the residence of Frank Gates on West Center street. Lorin reports strenuous times in the gold fields, but has struck it rich and intends enjoying a vacation with friends and relatives at home. Henry Kroeger while out hunting quail on Sunday received a peppering of bird shot from a shot fired by Veit Bentz. Seven shot struck him in the head, neck and hand—there would probably have been more pellets to extract had the bird, which drew the fire in his direction, not received the bulk of the charge. F. B. Kealiher of this city and Miss Annabelle Beach of Long Beach were married at Catalina on Tuesday. They will reside in Anaheim. Gus Schade and Eddie Bennerscheidt have formed a partnership in plumbing and have established themselves in Los Angeles. They are doing the plumbing in Mrs. Backs' new residence. John Hart was in town from Los Angeles some days ago selling tea and shaking hands with old acquaintances. Mrs. H. D. Polhemus visited with relatives in town this week from Los Angeles. Her son Dean accompanied her and engaged in a day's hunt for quail on Saturday, the opening day of the season. J. H. Wommer and family are here from Indiana to spend the winter with their son, Frank Wommer. P. H. Krick of this city and S. O. Walker of Buena Park and Arthur Staley of Placentia have returned from attendance upon the meeting of the Masonic Grand Lodge in San Francisco. County Treasurer Potter counted the money in the county treasury yesterday, finding the amount to be $114,500.
