IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Hi the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange Count 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 19, 1879 The Literary Union convened at the usual place and at the usual time. The President and vice President being absent, the secretary called the meeting to order. Mr. C. W. Campbell was elected President protem. Miss Carrie Seibert, Miss Fannie Higgins and Mrs. Laura Campbell sang a song entitled, "Maggie May," Mr. E. M. Ferguson read a humorous selection called "The sad fate of Joe Magginnis," which convulsed the audience with laughter. Mr. Saxton and Mr. Henderson answered the queries. After recess the question, Resolved, That the French Revolution aided the cause of Liberty in Europe," was discussed affirmatively by Messrs. Henderson and Payne and negative by Messrs. Guinn and Saxton. The committee decided in favor of the negative. The programme for next meeting will include a recitation by Miss Nellie Kuchel, reading Miss Ella Mitchell, recitation Miss. Rosa Campbell, reading, F. P. Marsh, declamation Ottodes Granges, recitation Mary Kraemer, declamation, Charles Higgins, reading Miss Lennie Saxton, declamations by E. M. Ferguson, T. S. Grimshaw and C. S. Miles, answering queries, some good music, and reading of the Leader by the editress. The society adjourned over the holidays. The next meeting will be held on Thursday, Jan. 8th. Glance at the various stores in town shows no lack of goods appropriate to the holiday season. Mr. A. Langenberger displays a fine lot of fancy glass and china ware, than which nothing is more appropriate for presents. Mr. Hippolyte Cahen has, in addition to the usual fine line of fancy goods, a fresh lot of toys from which every taste can be pleased. Mr. P. Pellegrin will furnish: everything imaginable for the jewelry line as well as Mr. R. Miss Lennie Saxton, declamations by E. M. Ferguson, T. S. Grimshaw and C. S.

Langenberger displays a fine lot of fancy glass and china ware, than which nothing is more appropriate for presents. Mr. Hippolyte Cahen has, in addition to the usual fine line of fancy goods, a fresh lot of toys from which every taste can be pleased. Mr. P. Pellegrin will furnish everything imaginable in the jewelry line as will also Mr. R. Luedke who has a fine lot of toys. The large furniture store of the Messrs. Backs contains numerous articles which would prove acceptable presents. In the millinery stores of Mrs. Brown and Miss Wallace are articles of wear which would make pleasant gifts to ladies. Mr. M. A. Mendelson's claim to have an unequalled stock of holiday goods is substantiated by the elegant display in his window. At the Telegraph store is a full lot of Christmas candies and stationary, to which Mr. Merrifield directs attention. During the week Messrs. Goodman and Rimpau received a fine assortment of really useful holiday goods. One can secure a very handsome article suitable for a present with a very small outlay of money at any of these reliable places of business. Some time ago we alluded to experiments made by Mr. F. P. Hinde in the preservation of citron. These experiments have been continued up to the present time, the result being a marked betterment in the quality of the citron. That shown us on Monday approached much nearer the color and appearance of the imported article than the first lot made by Mr. Hinde, and when age has hardened it somewhat, it will probably be equal to that usually kept in the stores. Mr. Hinde has also, preserved the rind of the common China lemon, which is used in the same way, and is equally as valuable as the citron rind. At a meeting of Irish citizens held in Los Angeles on Sunday, a committee was appointed to arrange for a ball to be given in that city, the proceeds to be forwarded to the national comittee having in charge the funds for the relief for the distressed pleasantry in Ireland. Mr. Tim Carroll of Anaheim is the committeeman for this district. For the benefit and amusement of the Presbyterian Sunday school pupils a Christmas tree festival will be given at the church on next Wednesday evening. The teachers of the school and members of the church will conduct the affair, and will gratfully receive the assistance of those who would like to see the little folks pass a happy Christmas Eve. It is proposed to precede the distribution of gifts by an entertainment of appropriate songs in which the school children will take part. All are invited to send their gifts. The crayon portraits on exhibition in the postoffice and in Mr. Cahen's store are the handiwork of Mr. D. R. Payne who will hereafter devote a part of his time to the business of enlarging photographs in either crayon or oil. The specimen pictures spoken of are evidence of the skillfulness of his touch, and patrons may rely upon securing a faithful enlargement of any photograph given him. Prof. J. M.

Five carloads were forwarded on Thursday morning. DAYS OF LONG AGO State 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 DECEMBER 15, 1904 In the early days wagon-loads of pine trees were brought into town for decoration as Christmas trees, but for years none of them have been seen among the haunts of men. The cause of this disappearance of these trees is the fact that the government has made an offense to chop them down. These pine trees are protected by forest reserves, to the end that the water as well as timber supply of the mountains might be conserved. In other words, the government has ordered that the denudation of the forests must cease, and never was legislative action characterized by greater wisdom. It is a loss to the household at Christmastide to be minus one of these lovely pine trees, but we shall have to get along wit hother varieties with which to place the little ones, but nothing that Uncle Sam has engaged in prosesses more intrinsic value to our people than has protection to the forests and water supply of our mountains. Farmers at La Habra and upon the San Joaquin have begun dry plowing and are sowing barley. A good soaking rain is what is needed to bring to Orange county a Merry Christmas. The Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce is in communication with Rainmaker Hatfield and expects to have him come to Orange county and square us with Jupiter Pluvius. The city trustees at their meeting on Tuesday evening opened bids for construction of sidewalks on Cypress, Chartres, Hedwig, and Emily streets. The work consists of 48,000 square feet of sidewalk, 9000 feet of curbing and 350 square feet of alley Coming Snow Survey By the State Important Bearing On Coordinated Water Program Sounds like a foolish question, doesn't it? Yet nothing more serious has ever been attempted for the farmers of California by the state—particularly in view of the recent long period of drought. Virtually every river and stream in California, including those in Orange county, will be affected by the forthcoming snow survey, for which the 1929 legislature appropriated the sum of $30,000. Moreover, the survey has an important bearing o nthe proposed $358,000,000 coordinated water program for California, according to Harlow M. Stafford, hydraulic engineer of the state division of water resources. "Looking into the not distant future," said Harlowe, "under plans for state-wide coordinated use of water, a single reservoir or group of reservoirs on one stream may be required to coordinate as many as seven conflicting uses of water." These include irrigation, power, flood control, municipal navigation, salinity control and hydraulic mining. It will be seen that the benefits to be derived from an adequate system of statewide snow surveys and runoff predictions are not confined to the immediate practical or local uses by power companies, irrigation districts, municipal districts, etc. "The broader necessity is for such information to guide the use of water from year to year over large areas such as the entire length of the Sacramento, San Joaquin and Kings rivers." In order to arrive at definite figures on snowfall, a number of "snow courses" are to be determined in each basin or region of the state. The snow will be measured by sampling apparatus, and from this data will be determined the relation of the seasonal snow cover of the basin to its normal. The surveyors will rely upon the fact that the large storms furnishing the bulk of winter snows are comparatively uniform in intensity over consider- Farmers at La Habra and upon the San Joaquin have begun dry plowing and are sowing barley.

Mrs. Witte and Mrs Hilda Witte were guests during the week of Mr. and Mrs. B. V. Beebe. They recently returned from formation to guide the use of water from year to year over large areas such as the entire length of the Sacramento, San Joaquin and Kings rivers." In order to arrive at definite figures on snowfall, a number of "snow courses" are to be determined in each basin or region of the state. The snow will be measured by sampling apparatus, and from this data will be determined the relation of the seasonal snow cover of the basin to its normal. The surveyors will rely upon the fact that the large storms furnishing the bulk of winter snows are comparatively uniform in intensity over considerable areas. Therefore it is possible to select a few snow survey courses in various parts of a stream's basin and figure out the season's percentage of snow for the entire basin. Tramping around in snowshoes, the surveyors will make their measurements in large hollow steel tubes, made up in 5-foot sections. On the outside of the tube the depth is graded by inches. Slots are cut in the tube to observe the core inside. When the measurement is taken, snow and tube are weighed together. "Plans call for one complete survey of all courses about April 1 of each year," said Harlowe."At selected stations, however, the survey will be conducted monthly." QUARANTINE REMOVED Quarantines against mussels and clams gathered along the California coast have been removed, according to the monthly report of Dr. Walter M. Dickle, director of the state department of public health, at the governor's council. A total of 55 cases of poisoning due to eating mussels occurred during the past summer season, Dr. Dickle said. Only one case was fatal. Six cases of poisoning due to eating clams resulted in three deaths. The quarantine was ordered on mussels July 22 and on clams August 9, extending from Monterey county to Del Norte county. On November 2 examination of clams and mussels collected in these waters showed that their toxic condition had disappeared. Possibility that a quarantine each summer would be necessary was expressed by Dr. Dickle. A New Jersey judge decided that calling a man a "mutton head" is not disorderly conduct. Sure We can think.
