IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cent Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 24, 1880 Dr. J. P. Wedney, of Los Angeles, has been appointed a member of the State Board of Health by Gov. Perkins. The rate on honey from Anaheim to San Francisco has been fixed at $8 per ton by the carload. Mr. James Reilley formerly of Anaheim is now located at San Luis Obispo. Good vineyard land at $8 per acre ought not to remain any great length of time on the market. In our advertising columns will be found an offer of 20 acres of such land for $160. An eighteen months old cow belonging to Mr. John Hanna gave birth on Tuesday to twin calves. "Its all in the glorious climate of California." The sum of $4,776 was expended last year by the Board of Supervisors for squirrel poison under the Ellis act. The law ought to be, and probably will be repealed. Mr. Wm. Konig has uprooted four acres of his vineyard and will plant Zinfandel and Malvoise cuttings which are coming to be favorites with the majority of our vineyardists. The firm of B. Dreyfus & Co. have just shipped 40 carloads (80,000 gallons) of claret to New Orleans.

Dreyfus & Co. have just shipped 40 carloads (80,000 gallons) of claret to New Oreleans. This firm finds the south a good market of claret wine and they make many shipments similar to the above during the year. Railroad freight rates on grain, potatoes and onions in straight on mixed carload lots, from Los Angeles to Maricopa, has been fixed at $10 per ton of 2000 lbs. to Casa Grande, $12 per ton. Flour carloads to either of the above points $15 per ton of 2000 lbs. On Tuesday last the Anaheim Water Company obtained from Mr. F. J. Smith a loan of $9,000 for fifteen months at 10 per cent per annum interest. As the company has heretofore been paying 15 per cent per annum interest, they have made a very decided saving by this last negotiation. Mr. C. S. Miles will leave for San Francisco next week to be gone probably four months. Mr. Miles goes to learn what he can about the flouring mill business as he and his brother intend to have a mill in Anaheim in time to convert the coming wheat crop into flour. The Anaheim Literary Union met in the Presbyterian church Thursday evening, January 22nd. Miss Fannie Higgins read "The Anglers," Miss Sarah Crowther recited, "Old Chrispels's Advice and why he gave it," Mr. Herman Zeyn called Vice-President Grimshaw to the chair and declaimed, "The Cottage on the Hills," with good effect. Miss Alice Chase sang, "Under the Daisies," very sweetly and touchingly. Mr. Grimshaw read "Old Dan," a humorous story. Mrs. and Miss Mitchell sang a duet, "When the Twilight Soft is Falling," in a pleasing manner. After recess Mrs. Parker, the editor read "Coming Home Late," in place of the Leader, which was lost. The programme committee reported the following programme for January 29th: Music, Recitation, Miss Laura Campbell; Declamation, Otto, Des Granges; Reading, Miss Ella Mitchell; Declamation, E. M. Ferguson; Reading, Mrs. Guinn; Declamation, Julius Voight; Music; Declamation, Chas.

Affirmation, J. M. Guinn, C. H. Zeyn-Negative, W. H. Henderson, C. W. Campbell. On Tuesday forenoon a small house on Broadway was burned together with all its contents. It was occupied by Chris Callian, and it is surmised that the fire was the work of some persons with whom he was not on good terms. He lost all of his clothing, blankets, rifle, revolvers and innumerable traps of considerable value. He had in the house $150 in gold coin. He found in the ashes after they had cooled, two partially melted twenty dollar gold pieces and some other pieces of melted gold probably to the value of $125. Some of the contents of the house could have been saved had it not been for the fear engendered by the well known eccentric habits of Callian who was known to house fire. Herman S.

He lost all of his clothing, blankets, rifle, revolvers and innumerable traps of considerable value. He had in the house $150 in gold coin. He found in the ashes after they had cooled, two partially melted twenty dollar gold pieces and some other pieces of melted gold probably to the value of $125. Some of the contents of the house could have been saved had it not been for the fear engendered by the well known eccentric habits of Callian, who was known to have fire arms concealed about the building with wires and other infernal contrivances attached so that the opening of a door or the pulling of a latch might let loose on the intruder a whole masked battery. That which was intended by the owner to protect his property was really the cause of much of it being destroyed as no one would run the risk of approaching the building. Callian's loss is quite a severe one, and the poor fellow meets with much sympathy. The building was owned by C. C. Switzer and was worth $75 or $100. Mr. Wm. Crowther is now engaged in seeding 150 acres of his farm in Placentia district with wheat. He is putting in the seed with a drill. The custom of sowing seed in drills is not new, but it has never, we believe obtained a hold in Southern California before. A fact al lthe more strange because of the obvious advantages of the system. The drill used by Mr. Crowther cost $100. He is sowing 80 pounds of seed to the acre—if he sowed broadcast he would have to use at least 40 pounds to the acre and even then he would probably not get as good a stand as will result from using the drill. He thus saves 1500 pounds on the 150 acres he eis cultivating. At 5 cents per pound (the cost of the seed) the amount is $75 almost enough to pay for the machine. With two strong horses twelve acres can be seeded. Mr. J. B. Pierce will also use the seed drill in sowing 160 acres of his farm in wheat. Mr. G. G. Greeley has also engaged the drill to seed his Anaheim farm to wheat. Rev. J. B. Tombes will have 40 acres of Anaheim wheat. In addition to those mentioned last week as sowing Anaheim wheat in Orangethorpe must be noted, A. Gardiner who will have 80 acres, and Mr. Schulte who will have 70 acres. Nearly 1400 acres of Anaheim wheat will be sowed in Orangethorpe district alone and about 1500 acres in Centralia school district. Messrs. Miles Bros. are taking considerable pains to get an accurate statement of the acreage of wheat in this vicinity which they hope to give us in time for publication next week.

John P. Zeyn has been indisposed for some days past. He contemplates a trip to Thermal for the benefit of his health. A.

Bauer has moved to town from Westminster and has taken a position in Fleischman's slaughter house. Herman Stock and bride returned from their honeymoon trip Sunday evening and have gone to housekeeping in the Gomber cottage on Broadway. Engineer Steward has been running levels on Hermine, Emily and other crosstown streets preparing the way for new cement sidewalks. Miss Alexandra Fay, who has been spending the winter with her mother, Mrs. Sarah J. Fay, departed this week for Brooklyn, to take an advanced course in an art school. A physical culture expert says there is nothing in the early morning setting up exercises and that it is much healthier to stay in bed. Fine. Now will somebody please debunk the spinach and carrots? A generation ago the popular slogan was "Four years more of the full dinner pail." Now it is "a sedan, a coupe and a rumble seat roadster for every American family." A cold in your head is bad enough but there are lots worse things you can have in your head at that.

The subject for debate was: Resolved, That legislators be elected by popular vote. A special train conveyed eighty-five young people from this city to Downey leaving here at seven and returning shortly after eleven. From a usually well-informed source it was learned yesterday that three new brick buildings will be in course of erection on Center street within the next three months. One of these is N. Hart's new 75 foot front, another is a brick block on the Federman corner west of the city hall, and the third is a two-story brick to be erected by other parties whose names are not made public.

Hoover, a recent arrival from Colorado Springs, the stated consideration being $8,000. It is the intention of the purchasers to raise the building and with the material to erect fifteen modern cottages upon the thirteen acre tract occupied by the hotel, an option upon which has been taken by the new owners. The Del Campo was erected during the years 1887-88, when the boom was upon the point of subsiding. It is a pretentious frame structure two stories and a half in height and covers two acres of ground. The period of wild cat speculation had swept over the land but had left this section singularly free. However, the fever struck a number of local men of means and the building was erected at a cost of $40,000. A grand opening of the hotel was had upon its completion and a great throng was present as guests of the hotel company. The house was handsomely appointed, but it never paid as a hotel. The enterprise was a flat failure from the start. After being run as a hotel for a year or more at a loss it was opened as a cheap lodging house. A few years later it became the property of the Security Saving Bank of Los Angeles which took it over on a mortgage. Eleven acres of land in the tract became the property of T. L. Duque the Los Angeles banker.
