IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County. 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 14, 1879 Between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning the rain began to descend in great volume and continued with but slight intermission until about 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. There were several showers on Sunday night but on Monday morning the sky was cloudless, and the atmosphere was clear, fresh and invigorating. Two inches of rain fell which makes a total of 2.62 for the season. This glorious shower prepared the ground for the plow and the farmers are busy getting their land ready for seeding. It is to be hoped they will profit by the lessons and experience of former years. Every one who can possibly get seed should sow wheat; where this is impossible they should raise a diversity of crops—Chevalier barley, common barley, rye, etc. If all farmers raise but one kind of grain the effect on the market is bound to be bad, but where diversity of crops is raised the producer is apt to get a top figure for some of them. These are the views of a theorist but thoughtful farmers will realize their aptness. There are at the store of M. A. Langenburger a number of exceedingly wellmade willow baskets, the handwork of a farmer living near Artesia. These baskets are sold at fifty cents while imported ones, not in any way superior, sell for $1.25. It is re-recorded somewhere in history that a prince of the blood royal was required by his royal papa to learn the trade of basketmaking so that if the mutations of fortune should depose him from his high estate he would be skilled in an industry the pursuit of which would bring him his daily bread. There being no dearth of willows to practice upon in this country, it might be advantageous to the rising generation to make them learn how to twist the pliant willow into basket form and the relation of the above historical fact might cause the youngsters to look upon the occupants.

The boss sweet potato of southern California is at Mr. Olden's office. It is the Bermuda variety and weighs 26 pounds. It was grown by Mr. H. F. Evans at his place between here and Garden Grove. It is the largest potato of which we have noticed any mention and after the manner of the rural journalist, we exclaim, who can bete it? Mr. G. G. Greeley, of Anaheim, has had some experience with Odessa wheat, and is a firm believe in its adaptability to this country. He will sow a hundred acres of it this season. The aggregate amount of acreage which will be seeded to wheat in this vicinity this season will far exceed the expectations of the most sanguine. The teachers of the southern end of the county will meet at Santa Ana on Saturday, Nov. 22nd, at 2 p.m. to form an association for the discussion of educational affairs. The meetings of the association will be monthly and will be alternately at Santa Ana and Anaheim. There are thirty-five teachers south of the New San Gabriel river. Mr. Theo. Reiser will replant five acres of his vineyard this year, setting out vines of the Zinfandel variety. In the cultivation of this small tract he will eschew irrigation entirely, and demonstrate whether or not the vine will grow on the land in Anaheim proper without the aid of artificial moisture. One of the tall majestic poplars opposite Mr. Benner-scheidt's tin shop on Center street fell during the storm the other day. On cutting it the wood was found to be very much decayed. The poplar row is one of the things which would always evoke favorable comment fro mstrangers, and the death of even one of the trees is greatly to be deplored. During the first week in November a count was kept by all postmasters of the number of letters, papers, etc., mailed at their respective offices. There was mailed at the Anaheim postoffice during seven days specified eleven hundred and fifty-five letters, papers, and postal cards, making an average of 165 per day. Stemless dried grapes in sacks are worth four and a half cents per pound in San Francisco. The lowest price paid for grapes by wine makers the past season was seventy-five cents per hundred pounds. The man who can't make a vineyard pay under such conditions should go to Arizona and dig for clams. Mr. Arthur, son Babo, and sister who have been staving at the hotel for the past week have rented a house from D. K. Williams which they will occupy until they can decide upon a suitable tract Stemless dried grapes in sacks are worth four and a half cents per pound in San Francisco.

Mr. Arthur, son Babo, and sister who have been staying at the hotel for the past week have rented a house from D. K.

It is announced upon good authority that track laving is to be commenced on the Arizona extension of the Southern Pacific railroad December 1st, proximo, and that the road the road will be finished to Tucson by the middle of January. Attention is directed to the advertisement of Mr. A. E. White who has lately settled here and commenced business. He has the reputation of being a first class general blacksmith and he has been endorsed as a superior horse-shoer. Mr. J. K. Tuffree has returned from an extensive trip through the county and reports the country as looking beautiful since the late rains. The advertisement of Mrs. McKinnie offering for sale a number of desirable articles is published today. In order to dispose of them, they will be offered at very low prices. Among the articles are two benches, chest of tools, two crib bedsteads, two writing desks, one washing machine, grindstone, nails, lumber, etc. On Wednesday a man named F. Meyer, a native of Germany, committed suicide on the "Wright place." between Tustin and Sarta Ana, by shooting himself with a pistol. There will be a real wedding cake at the grand Thanksgiving super in Kroger's hall given by ladies of the Episcopal church. The bride will cut it and the young person who gets the ring will be the next one named. DAYS OF LONG AGO Issue Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Daily Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 10, 1904 With this city, Orange county and California in line with largely increased Republican majorites, and with every northern state carried by Roosevelt, with every Republican congressman elected in California and with Anderson and Amerige elected by big majorities, the result of Tuesday's election may be said to be a glorious victory. Anaheim breaks all records with a Republican majority of 102. Orange county is good for perhaps 1800 and California has rolled up a majority of from 5,000 to 70,000. These figures while phenomenal in them selves are mere incidents in the great political landslide that has swept over the country. Roosevelt and Fairbanks will receive for president and vice presideot the largest electoral vote ever cast for a national ticket. Parker did not carry a single northern state and Democratic pluralities were cut in the "solid south." Wisconsin went Republican by 100,000. Illinois by upward of 200,000 and Indiana by 40,000. Republicans will control the lower branch of congress by a majority of at least 56. Returns show that the Fifty-ninth congress will stand: Republicans, 226; Democrats, 159; Union Labor, 1. A gain of one is indicated in the senate. Alex Henry brought out his cannon to fire a salute in honor of the great Republican victory. The cannon was stationed on Center street in front of Wallop's store. Several guns were fired when it was discovered that many windows in front of Wallop's and adjoining stores had been smashed. This brought the cannonade to a stop. J. B. Rae returned this week from St. Louis after an absence of two months. He went as far as Canada and says the biggest thing is that he is back. Soon Be Looking Around the World Looking around the world will be as common as hearing around the world within the next few years, prophecies Dr. Ralph S. Minor, professor of physics at the University of California. Television has already been proved a practical invention, and in generations to come citizens of the United States will be able to view the inauguration of their president and hear him take the oath at the same time, according to Dr. Minor. "The first significant inventions preceding television were the telescope and photographic plate," he said. "For many years workers have been convinced that if it were possible to get the photographic plate to record something seen at a distant point it would be possible to modify the procedure so that the eye might take the place of the photographic plate at the receiving station. With the solving of the problem of transmitting the photographic plate, the dream has been realized."

This brought the cannonade to a stop. J. B. Rae returned this week from St. Louis after an absence of two months. He went as far as Canada and says the biggest things he saw on his way cast were Tim Carroll's beet dumps in Colorado. The Fair he pronounces was beyond his powers of description, and the California exhibit leading everything at the show. On entering the grounds Frank Wiggins pinned a California badge on his coat, but Mr. Rae had to take it off for the reason that his progress though the fair was so impeded by questioners asking all about the Golden State that he on several occasions found himself utterly unable to proceed. The barber shop of Frank Baum was entered by thieves some time during Friday night and a small sum of money, about $2.00 in change taken from the drawer. Five razors belonging to Frank Dyer were taken from the drawer along with the money. Mr. Baum will pay a reward of $25 for arrest and conviction of the thieves who are believed to be local artists.
