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 the 50 Years Ago This Week OCTOBER 31, 1879 Absence at the Los Angeles Fair of a number of the members and visitors considerably diminished the audience of the Literary Union on last Friday evening. The first exercise of the evening was a declamation by Herman Zeyn. Mr. E. M. Ferguson read a comic selection, "How Martha and I Caught the Mouse." E. A. Saxton and J. M. Guinn answered the queries propounded at the previous meeting. After recess, Mr. Grimshaw gave the audience a song, and Miss Brier read the society's paper, "The Leader." The principal exercise of the next program is a debate upon the question "Resolved, That the adoption of a Free Trade policy would be to the prosperity of the United States." Affirmative, Rev. E. Halliday, Messrs. Henderson and Miles, Negative, Messrs. Guinn, Saxton and Campbell. In addition there will be several declamations and recitations; also good music. A resolution was passed inviting the Centralia Literary Society to attend our next meeting. The Horticultural Fair in Los Angeles brought together a larger concourse of people than ever met before in that city. It was a great success and the gross receipts are placed at $4000. The baby show was the center of interest on Friday afternoon. There were thirteen entries. The only one from this part of the country was baby Guy Halliday of Santa Ana. The first premium, a silver medal, was awarded to baby Margarita Moore; daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Moore of Los Angeles. The committee on award consisted of Mrs. I. W. Hellman, Los Angeles, Mrs. J. F. Crank, Pasadena; Mrs. Hirshfield, Los Angeles; Mrs. Gen Stoneman, San Gabriel; and Mrs. B. Chandler, Los Angeles.

Chandler, Los Angeles. Premiums awarded to Anaheim are as follows: Mrs. E. Graham, best bread, $2; Anaheim Tannery, best display of leather, $5; Wm. Koenig, best white wine, $10—best Angelica wine., $10; Mrs. Dr. Bailey, basket of corn husk and quilted silk, honorable mention; Mrs. M. A. Cobler, Santa Ana, apple jelly, $2; Miss Helen Joslin of Orange, pencil drawing, diploma; Miles Bros., flour corn, honorable mention. In regard to Port wine, the committee was unable to decide between that exhibited by Wm. Koenig of Anaheim and that of J. De Barthshorb of San Gabriel. Mr. D. P. Quinn has sold through the real estate agency of J. K. Tuffree, his forty acre tract near Anaheim to Mr. F. J. Schmidt, a gentleman who has but lately arrived in this country. Mr. Schmidt intends to plant vines and orange trees in that part of his purchase not already under cultivation and otherwise improve his chosen home. We welcome him to Anaheim and wish him a full measure of success. A dastardly attempt at incendiarism was made on last Sunday night about 11 o'clock. At that hour Mr. Cahen, while putting his horse in the stable in the rear of his store on Center street, saw a bright light in the corner of the yard. On going hurriedly to see what the matter was, he found a small bundle of hay, rags, and rubbish piled up against a wooden out building, and the flames from the pile were just beginning to fasten upon the tinder-like wood. The rubbish must have been fired just a moment of two before Mr. Cahen saw the light and had he not fortunately discovered it the probabilities are that a disastrous conflagration would have been the result. The heavy Santa Ana wind commenced to blow-about that time and no human effort would have saved the Anaheim hotel from destruction had the fire got a slight start. The attempt at incindarism and an attempted burglary at Plato's store the same night show that there are evil persons prowling about, and should serve as a warning to citizens to exercise more than ordinary caution. Mr. H. W. Lake of Santa Ana, while on the summit of the mountain range above Silverado was stopped by two men who relieved him of his money and would have taken his horse if he had not eluded them. He recognized the men as McManus and Dean, two swampers of unsavory reputation who are wanted for various crimes. The report that McManus was hung appears to have been incorrect. Rev. T. R. Curran of Santa Ana has been called to the pastorate of the Methodist church south of Los Angeles. Rev. Millard Law, the former pastor, will fill the pulpit of the Los Nietos church for the ensuing year. The settlers on Los Bolsas rancho have all been served with notice of ejectment by Marshal Poole and have signified their intention of acquiescing peaceably in the orders of the court.

The settlers on Los Bolsas rancho have all been served with notice of electment by Marshal Poole and have signified their intention of acquiescing peaceably in the orders of the court. Many who are able to do so will purchase the land upon which they are living, but the majority of them have not the means to purchase and must perforce seek homes elsewhere. Among the settlers dispossessed was an old man who was with Marshall when that individual discovered gold near Sutter's Fort. Mr. J. K. Tuffree has purchased the fine house now occupied by Victory Montgomery, Esq., and will occupy it with his family as soon as it can be put in readiness. Mr. Tuffree's increasing business requires that he should reside in town hereafter, his Buena Vista home being at too great a distance from town to be convenient. It is said that if the purchasers of the interest of the Cajon Irrigation company in the Cajon ditch will assume the company's liabilities (about $13,000) no stens will be taken to redeem the ditch, but if such an arrangement is not effected, the company will redeem the ditch within the time allowed by law. Mr. J. J. Hill and family will remove to Riverside in a few days. Mr. Hill will represent Mr. Tuffree in looking after the affairs of the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Company in that neighborhood. Anaheim Lodge A. O. U. W. is in a flourishing condition. There are now twenty-seven members and accessions are being constantly made. Work has been commenced on the new flouring mill in Los Angeles. It is located on the site of the old Eagle Mills near the depot. Mr. M. R. Gaddy was in town the other day. He has bought a very stable at Santa Monica. S OF LONG AGO Conduct 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 27, 1904 Republicans of this city and vicinity enthused at their second rally of the camaign at Armory Hall on Monday evening. Republicans were present from Garden Grove, Buena Park, Fullerton and elsewhere. At seven o'clock a special train conveying the Columbia Marching Club and distinguished citizens of Santa Ana arrived. Headed by the Anaheim band, the club marched up town, executing many fine evolutions which evoked loud applause and Capt. Nate Ulm came in for high praise. At eight o'clock a large audience assembled at Armory hall. Mr. Diekel called the meeting to order, and Mr. Melrose was selected as presiding officer. He introduced John W. Anderson of Santa Ana, candidate for state senator, who spoke for half an hour. Oscar Lawler, the Los Angeles orator, was next introduced, and spoke for an hour and a half in masterful manner upon political issues. His speech was one of the most eloquent and forceful delivered here during the campaign. E. R. Amenge, candidate for the assembly, was unable to be present on account of illness. He was not forgotten at the meeting. His record in the assembly was referred to and endorsed. S. Armor, Nels Edwards and James Fullerton of Orange were in town on Friday as a committee appointed by a citizens mass meeting to investigate and report upon a system of adequate fire protection for that town. They visited the power house and were shown the municipal water and lighting facilities. It is probable Orange will vote bonds for similar works. Better Service For Buena Park Phone Company Has Completed Improvements at a Cost of $47,000 October 26 has been set as the date on which the new Buena Park dial telephone system will be placed in service, according to present plans of The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. Work on the installation of the new system, similar to the latest type of dial telephone exchange recently provided for several other Southern California communities, is nearing completion, L. W. Benson, manager, stated. Approximately $47,000 has been expended on the new system; $11,000 for the lot and building on Grand avenue between Seventh and Eighth streets; $28,000 for dial central office equipment, and $8,000 for outside plant equipment. The building, 29 feet by 50 feet and of Spanish design, has been erected on a lot 50 feet wide and 120 feet deep. The building has been planned to meet the needs of the new exchange for a number of years to come. When the equipment is placed in service on Saturday morning, October 26, it will be serving approximately 200 telephones. The initial installation of equipment will care for a maximum of 300 telephones, and the ultimate capacity of the building will be approximately 2,800 telephones. At the present time 113 of the telephones in the Buena Park area are served by the Fullerton exchange and 11 by the Anaheim exchange. So that Buena Park subscribers may be familiar with the new method of operation, representatives of the telephone company have been calling on residents of the community and demonstrating the proper method to dial numbers. All of the present numbers in the Buena Park area will be changed at the time of the cutover, to function with the dial system. As the new numbers do not appear in the September issue of the Orange County directory, a temporary directory will be issued for the Buena Park exchange at the time it is placed in service. As a result of this condition all incoming calls for the old E. R. Amenge, candidate for the assembly, was unable to be present on account of illness. He was not forgotten at the meeting. His record in the assembly was referred to and endorsed. S. Armor, Nels Edwards and James Fullerton of Orange were in town on Friday as a committee appointed by a citizens mass meeting to investigate and report upon a system of adequate fire protection for that town. They visited the power house and were shown the municipal water and lighting facilities. It is probable Orange will vote bonds for similar works. C. E. Utt of Tustin, the most extensive peanut grower in California, estimates the Orange county crop this year to be about fifteen carloads, or in the neighborhood of 9000 sacks. This is practically the same as for the last two seasons. The entire yield with the exception of about sixty acres in La Habra and thirty acres at Placentia is grown at Tustin, Orange and Santa Ana; the total acreage devoted to the crop being about 250 acres. Peanuts are nearly all harvested and are bringing 5 cents a pound. A large part of the local crop is sold in Los Angeles. Democrats of this vicinity held their first rally of the campaign at Turner hall on Thursday evening, when addresses were made by W. T. Lucas of Santa Barbara, nominee for Congress, J. D. Mills, candidate for state senator, and J. A. Hankey, candidate for assembly. The Anaheim band discoursed music during the evening and a good-sized audience was present. Julius Schneider, chairman of the Democratic County Central Committee, called the meeting to order. He introduced J. F. Ahlborn as president of the meeting. Judge Maguire who was advertised to make the principal address of the evening, was unable to be present, having been called to San Francisco. The Spanish Club of Anaheim will entertain their friends at dancing at Reiser's Opera House, Saturday evening, October 29th. Music will be furnished by the Burrels orchestra of Santa Ana. The members of the club are Antonio Gaxiola, Ed. Bustamente, Henry Gastlum, Pascal Daniels, and Vicente Gonzales. Socialists held a meeting at Spoerl's auditorium on Tuesday evening and elected the following officers: Lionel Audet, president; Arthur McAuley, secretary; Jesse Main, treasurer; and Mr. Carver chairman of the literary committee. Steve Cottle and Bud Eubanks of this city and Sam Grant and Al Eubanks of Los Angeles went down to Westminster for a duck shoot on Monday evening, returning Tuesday forenoon. A strong wind accounted for the small bags. David Bush is now superintendent of orange picking and packing at Nutwood ranch where operations will soon begin. M. L. Rogers arrived from San Francisco this week to superintend the gathering of the walnut crop on his east-side ranch.

For the past few weeks, Asher & Falkenstein have been receiving case after case of toys and holiday goods which they are storing in their warehouse on the Kossert place for the Christmas trade. These goods are imported directly by the firm and arrive in their original packages from the European factories. We are told that there was never before brought such a complete line of novelties to this city and extensive preparations are being made to display these goods. Herman Backs, Cal Woods and Jim Balfour were down from Los Angeles on Sunday spending the day with relatives and friends. The C. E. Society of the Presbyterian church will give a parlor entertainment at the home of Miss Ella Rae on Friday evening. A collection of 15 cents will be taken. George T. Hatfield, son of Jos. Hatfield, departed on Saturday for San Francisco to enter the United States Navy as an apprentice. George passed successfully a rigorous examination in Los Angeles some days before, standing at the head of a class of forty. He comes from fighting stock and we look for a fine record to be made aboard ship by our young friend. Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Kilgore of Long Beach announce the engagement of their daughter; Mrs. Bertha Katherine, to Jotham Winslow Bixby.
