IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Histthe Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 3, 1880 The Board of Town Trustees met in special sessions on Tuesday, and the Committee on Ordinances introduced an ordinance providing for the enforcement of road poll taxes. The ordinance will be placed upon its passage at the regular meeting to be held at 3:30 p.m. on next Wednesday. The marshal was instructed to notify those parties who raised the grade of Center street thereby preventing the drainage of the lot on the corner of Center and Los Angeles street, to lower the street to its proper grade within twenty-four hours after being notified by the marshal; and in the event of a non-compliance with the order said officer was instructed to have the necessary work done at the expense of the parties referred to. The narrowest escape from a fatal accident that has ever come to our notice occurred the other day on the farm of Mr. Wm. Hetebrink. Mr. Hetebrink was plowing and at the end of the furrow he stopped to rest the span of mules he was driving. This kindness appears to have been totally unnecessary as a moment later they dashed off on a keen run, the plow dangling behind them. Directly in their course, about five hundred yards distant, sat the little daughter of Mr. Hetebrink, and as the runaway mules reached her they separated a little passing on either side of her. By some providential swerve of the plow, it just grazed the little girl cutting her chin and making only a superficial flesh wound. It was a narrow escape from a horrible death. Another fine rain fell on Saturday and Sunday, adding 1.04 Another fine rain fell on Saturday and Sunday, adding 1.04 inches to the previous record. This makes the total for the season 6.89 inches. It will be remembered that last year the Gazette's claim that Anaheim suffered no damage from the frost which blighted every green thing in the whole county, was received with an incredulity which became abuse as the claim was iterated and reiterated. The heavy frosts of last week furnish additional evidence that for some reason or other Anaheim enjoys an immunity from damaging frosts which does not seem to be vouchsafed to any other section of the county. Diligent inquiry has failed to bring to light one single instance of damage to even the tender lime trees in this vicinity. A coffee tree in Mr. Korn's garden and a sweet lemon in Mr. Hartung's orchard are the only things which we have heard sustained any damage. Mr. Richard Gilman's large nursery escaped unscathed, not even the tender shoots on the trees were nipped by the frost. But it was underiably cold and ice formed to an unprecedented thickness. The white frost glistened on the shaded ground until the morning was well spent. But it is far different in the northern part of the county. The frost on the night of December 24th, killed thousands of trees in Los Angeles. Out of 100,000 orange and lemon trees in the grounds of the cooperative nursery 95,000 were frozen to within a few inches of the ground. Other nurseries also suffered, and it is said that there will be considerable difficulty in filling an order for 25,000 orange trees which has been received from Sacramento. The flower gardens in the vicinity of Los Angeles were "kilt entirely." Shaffer, the florist, is quoted as saying that he could not gather a bouquet from his whole garden. Kroeger's hall never had within its walls such a goodly number of fair women and brave men as assembled on last Wednesday night, and as dancing was kept up to nearly 4 o'clock on Thursday morning it is fair to presume that the participants enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The lodge of A. O. U. W., under whose auspices the ball was given will net a handsome profit. The hall was beautifully decorated with flowers and evergreens and along the walls and over them were painted emblems of the order. The dresses worn by the ladies present were characterized by a richness and taste in excess that shown at any previous party, and they, (the ladies) exercised the privileges accorded to their sex during Leap Year with a vim and freedom which was exhilarating to victims. Fully two-thirds of those at the ball partook of the supper at the Planters Hotel. It was an excellent supper, and the dining room and tables were handsomely ornamented. At a meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 85 A. O. U. W. held on Monday evening, the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: D. J. Sorenson, M. W.; D. W. C. Cowen, G. F.; T. S.

Ferguson, Medical examiners. The officers elect will be installed on next Monday evening and a full attendance of members is requested. Mr. F. J. Smith is preparing his land preparatory to setting out a vineyard of wine grapes. He will plant Malvoise and Zinfandel, and Muscat of Alexandria for raisins. Mr. Smith will shortly receive from Austria a choice selection of vines and fruit trees of that country which he will plant for experimental purposes. Mr. John Hanna has rented one hundred acres of his farm to Mr. Campbell who will plant besides other cereals, twenty acres to Anaheim wheat. Mr. F. Upson, of Centralia, will also plant twenty acres of the same variety of wheat. Mr. Hildreth, of Santa Ana Canyon, will plant sixty acres of wheat. New Year calls were not as numerous as they ought to have been, although calling was indulged in to some extent, yesterday (Ladies day) was made the occasion of numerous calls by the ladies. Mr. Fred Hartung received intelligence the other day that his brother-in-law, Mr. Rothschild, was nearly drowned a few days ago at Port Townsend. He was proceeding in a boat from the shore to the steamer with the intention of taking passage to San Francisco, when he was thrown overboard by a sudden lurch of the boat, the sea being very rough. He was rescued and felt well enough to carry out his intention of proceeding to San Francisco. Mr. John Hunter, of Placentia District, intends to confine his farming principally to the raising of flax this year. The Riverside Press has been purchased by L. M. Holt, lately editor of the Horticulturist. Mr. Holt is an able and experienced newspaper man. DAYS OF LONG AGO The Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century A History Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 29, 1904 There was no quorum at the meeting of the city trustees on Tuesday evening and no business was done. Trustees Rust and Darling were present; Tyler, Fletcher and Berdrow, absent. Those present discussed informally the propriety of calling an election to vote bonds for the extension and improvement of the water and electric light plants at the power house. Water has fallen so low in the wells supplying the city that deep water pumps or air compressors will have to be installed. In cases of fires the pressure would be found to be seriously interfered with on account of the depth of water. Engineer Lewis stated that the electric light plant is being worked beyond its capacity, and constant calls are being made for extensions to the water and lighting service. On a recent Saturday night he said, when stores were lighted until 9 o'clock, it was necessary to use both machines at the power house, and the ampere meter showed the works were taxed beyond their registered maximum limit. Speaking of complaints made regarding inferior quality of lights in outlying sections of the municipality he said this was caused by the overloaded condition of the electrical works. Messrs. Rust and Darling favor calling an election to vote bonds and Mr. Darling suggested that a mass meeting of citizens be called to discuss the subject. Fifty-five hundredths of an inch of rain fell during the week beginning with showers on Thursday night, when .30 of an inch fell. On Friday night and Saturday .25 on an inch was recorded by Mr. Dickel's gauge.

On Friday night and Saturday .25 on an inch was recorded by Mr. Dickel's gauge. On Sunday night the worst Santa Ana of the year sprang up and blew until the afternoon of the following day. The weather was cold and the day was the most disagreeable of the year. Tuesday and Wednesday the weather was clear. Ignace Paderewski, the celebrated Polish pianist, has been a guest during the week of Count Bozenta and his talented wife, Madame Modjeska, at their mountain home in Santiago. Paderewski is accompanied by his wife and several servants. He and his wife are old time friends of Count Bozenta and Madame Modjeska and a Merry Christmastide was spent by them at Arden, Paderewski gives a performance in Los Angeles tomorrow evening and then departs for the east. Miss E. Kate Rae returned some days ago from Berkeley where she is taking a post-graduate course in English and history. She returns to Berkeley after the holidays and will attend the University until spring, when she hopes to advance from a bachelors to a masters degree. At the Wallop residence on Monday morning at 10:30 John Welborn Wallop, the well known young business man of this city was united in wedlock to Miss Martha P. Gwen, teacher of one of the primary grades at the Central school. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Johnson and only members of the family and intimate friends were present. At the conclusion of the ceremony the happy couple were recipients of congratulations on the part of those present. Many valuable wedding gifts were bestowed upon the bride. The newly married couple departed on the evening train for San Francisco where the honeymoon will be spent. Many friends gathered at the station to bid them farewell, and showers of rice were rained upon them as they boarded the car. Mr. and Mrs. Wallop will return in a fortnight and will be at home to their friends in the cottage until recently occupied by Rev. Kliewers on Olive street, the property having been purchased by the groom. The Gazette joins the many friends of the happy couple in extending felicitations over the happy event. Tommy Dietrich is engaged in painting the residence of C. C. Chapman and will also paint the warehouses and other buildings on the Santa Isabel ranch. He will have a half dozen men at work with him and will be several weeks at the job. B. J. Dresser, who for some years past has been a successful business man of Portland, Oregon, writes friends here that he expects to return to southern California shortly owing to failing health. Mr. Dresser was formerly a resident of this section and has many friends here who will be glad to hear of his contemplated return. He has been conducting one of the largest grocery stores in Portland and may decide to go into business in this city. Croner and Ingraham yesterday completed the woodwork the request for huge sums to finish fruit fly eradication in Florida, the director related. "Any successful attack now might mean disaster to the continuation of the efforts in Florida. If they do succeed, California will have to double her vigilance and take extra precautions against the new insect pests that undoubtedly will flood the rest of the country. "It is beyond belief that a small group of selfishly interested men can disrupt the system protecting American agriculture for their personal profit." An attempt to divest the federal secretary of agriculture of authority to prohibit plant importations from countries where plants are infested by dangerous parasites has failed, Hecke declared. The interests which failed in this endeavor are the same who are now turning their efforts toward breaking down the American protective quarantine through discrediting its purposes and results. DEER HUNTERS Deer hunters were active in California during the past season, according to a report of the state department of natural resources. Mendocino county led the state in deer killed within its borders, with 1,355 shot, as against 1,468 last year. Siski-you county, first in 1928, was pushed into second place, with only 1,211 deer killed, the 1928 total being 1,654. Lake county maintained its place as third this year with $841 killed, although 1,038 were shot last year. Los Angeles county showed a substantial gain to achieve fourth place, with $641 deer accounted for, the 1928 total being 369. LICENCE PLATES Come early and avoid the rush. This is the advice of the state motor vehicle division, which is now distributing 1930 license plates though their various branches in California. If you aren't under the rope by January 15, 1930 with a new license plate, it will be just too bad. The way to get a license is simply to take your white slip from your automobile, get $3 together and go to one of the following offices with the combination: San Diego, Long Beach, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Fresno, or Sacramento. The California State Automobile Association branches will also issue licenses. No. 412 B Mother! Watch Child's Tongue B. J.

The contracts aim to have the building ready for occupancy some time next month. J. C. Joplin has returned from the World's Fair after an absence of five months. Mr. Joplin was in charge of the Orange county exhibit which he pronounces out of the features of the Fair. Fred Maurer used to make barrels for Rockefeller back in Cleveland twenty-five years ago, when the Standard Oil magnate was embarking in the business of annexing all the oil refineries in and about that town. Rockefeller was started in business by Mark Hanna's father, so Fred informs us, and the oil magnate treated his benefactor most shabbily he adds, once he rose from poverty to be a millionaire. Fred Tuffree was in town yesterday with a fine load of foothill hay. Fred informs us he is in the fumigating business and will be pleased to do fumigating for orchardists. He also handles distillate and desires that people in need of anything in his line call upon him at the ranch.

Commonwealth FULLERTON 246 Perils of Childhood It must be all of twenty years ago that mother first gave me Syrup Pepsin For those Fevers, Colds and Bowel Troubles of Childhood How time flies. My good mother has gone to her rest, but I have faithfully relied upon her judgment and have given Syrup Pepsin to my two children since they were born. It is certainly a public medicine and never fails of its purpose. I like to recommend it. (Name and address will be sent upon request.) And in the Evening of Life When age comes creeping on, with bowels relaxed, muscles weak, digestion poor and blood thinned, then is when constipation does its evil work in a night. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is so palatable, sets so well in the stomach, works so easily, so gently, so kindly with old folks as to accomplish its purpose without gripe, pain or other distress. For biliousness, sour stomach, coated tongue, headache, fevers, solds and constipation from infancy to old age Syrup Pepsin is recommended everywhere and sold by all druggists. For a free trink bottle send name and address to Pepsin Syrup Company, Monicella, Illinois. Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN SAY "BAYER ASPIRIN" and INSIST!
