IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Histhe Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 31, 1880 Mrs. and Miss Werder have gone to San Francisco on a visit. They will return in about two weeks. Mr. Frank Ev will leave for Sacramento tomorrow as represen­tative to the Grand Lodge of the A. O. U. W. The census supervisor for the Fourth District, C. W. Dana, is a resident of San Luis Obispo. A very pleasant party was held at the residence of Dr. Yocum on Tuesday night, nearly all the young people in town being present. Mr. A. Merrifield will in a few days transfer himself to the railroad depot, where he will remain for a time to familiarize him­self with the railroad business. The telegraph office in town will be under the charge of Mr. H. R. Hanna. Dr. James Ellis has shipped to London a large quantity of Mr. Konig's port wine. The sample cask of wine sent by Dr. Ellis eighteen months ago was so much liked that a demand seems to be created for Mr. Konig's manufactures. The Santiago Gold and Silver Mining Co. have men at work taking out ore from the ledges on their claim which have been uncovered. The inclementy of the weather makes the work slow but it will not be long before a shipment of a carload of the ore will be made to San Francisco. If the ore fulfills the expecta- Dr. James Ellis has shipped to London a large quantity of Mr. Konig's port wine. The sample cask of wine sent by Dr. Ellis eighteen months ago was so much liked that a demand seems to be created for Mr. Konig's manufactures. The Santiago Gold and Silver Mining Co. have men at work taking out ore from the ledges on their claim which have been uncovered. The inclementy of the weather makes the work slow but it will not be long before a shipment of a carload of the ore will be made to San Francisco. If the ore fulfills the expectations of the company, it is probable that arrangements will be made to build reduction works at the mine. Messrs. Grimshaw and Sorenson have bought from Mr. Peschi the lot on the corner of Los Angeles and Aguste streets, and have begun the erection of a two-story building 20x45 feet. When completed Mr. Grimshaw will remove his blacksmith and wagon shop thereto and by next fall the firm of Grimshaw and Sorenson will have in operation a fruit dryer of immense capacity. The dryer is the invention of Mr. Sorenson and was planned by him, while he was running the Alden dryer, which was destroyed by fire. A description of the works will be given at a future date. Miss Millie Christine, "the two headed nightingale" as she is called will exhibit in Kroeger's hall on next Tuesday afternoon and evening. The advertisement enumerates at length the attractions of this lusus naturale, and it is said it in no way exaggerates the accomplishments or attractions of the double headed wonder. During performances in Los Angeles the house was crowded every night, and the same occurs everywhere this unique and altogether original curiosity exhibits. The musical part of the program and the wonderful antics of the midgets, well known in Europe as Baron Littlefinger and Count Rosebud, are well worth the price of admission and the entertainment is guaranteed to be in every respect strictly first class. Particular attention is directed to the advertisement of Messrs. A. Guy Smith & Co., wherein they offer to purchase oranges, lemons and limes in any quantity. Messrs Smith and Company have observed that many persons who grow the fruit mentioned on a small scale permit much of it to go to waste, for fear that it will not pay to ship in small lots and that they will not realize enough from the shipment to cover the cost of freight and boxes. They have arranged a machine by which the fruit is sorted of three sizes, and the prices of course, will be predicated on the size of the fruit. As we said at the beginning of this paragraph, growers of small lots of fruit will find it both profitable and convenient to sell to Messrs. Smith & Co., they can deliver the fruit in sacks and no expense or risk is incurred. The Anaheim Literary Union met Thursday evening at the usual hour. The president and vice-president being absent.

The program will also present some good music. On the afternoon and night of January 27th, there was quite a fall of snow in Southern California, which covered all that part of Los Angeles county north of Los Angeles and many parts of San Bernardino county. There was a little snow on the hills seven miles north of Anaheim for the first time since 1855 but none in the valley about Anaheim or Orange, which as usual, were protected by the Santa Ana range of hills. On Thursday morning the thermometer was down to 29 degrees, the lowest point reached since April, 1875. During the last two winters Dame Nature has shown unmistakably where semi-tropic California is located. It is twenty-four years since so much snow was seen on the foothills. Mr. Langenberger informs us that in 1854 or 55 snow fell freely in the valley, the Burruel ranch being covered therewith. In 1849 quite a heavy fall of snow occurred in Los Angeles and so heavily did it lie on the orange trees that some of the branches were damaged. At Spadra, Pasadena, Pomona and that vicinity the snow lay on the ground for hours. At San Fernando it covered the ground to a depth of two inches. The county was favored during the week with a very timely and welcome rain. On Monday afternoon the fall was .19, on Tuesday afternoon .46 and Tuesday night .15. Total for the week .80. Total for the season 7.81 inches. It is notable that the gauge at the depot recorded a fall of .88 on the days mentioned. This is the first time it has registered more than the gauges in town. DAYS OF LONG AGO The Issued 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 FEBRUARY 2, 1904 W.

Walnut Quality Is Improved Educational Work Great Help To Growers The annual report of the walnut growers' department of the Orange County Farm Bureau shows an active year just closed, according to A. Smiley, chairman. Besides co-operating with the agricultural extension service in field demonstrations on irrigation practice, pest control and pruning, several major projects were carried out, including two walnut schools at Anahelm and Tustin, a walnut growers field day and economics studies on the cost of producing walnuts under Orange county conditions. Two walnut blight control plots was established on the Irvine and the Mabury ranches to test the effect of bordeaux spray, 8-4-50 formula, on the disease. As a result of numerous meetings and tours in the past few years, about 65 per cent of the walnut crop in Orange county is now curled in dehydrators. The balance is still sun-dried in open trays. The cooling moth campaign carried on in co-operation with the county agricultural commissioner's office has resulted in effective control where spraying recommendations were practiced. Reports from the various packing-houses in Orange county indicate that the average infestation will approximate less than 1 per cent, as compared with 12 per cent in 1928. Door cracks from untreated orchards this past season in infested areas show as high as 30 to 35 per cent infestation. The next Southern California Walnut Growers' Institute will be held in Ventura county on February 15, according to the decision of the intercounty walnut growers' department, that met recently at the California Walnut Growers' Association. The new officers for this intercounty department are Frank Tetley of Riverside, chairman; and Lee Braucher, California Walnut Growers' Association, secretary. A program for the Ventura institute includes M. Collier, Ventura; Vincent Blanchard, Ventura; and Harold E. Wahlberg, Santa Ana. Domingo Bastanchury of Fullerton visited with friends in town on Tuesday. Miss Adela Strodthroff has returned from a visit of several months with relatives at Douglas, Arizona. Rev. Father McDevitt of San Pedro was a guest this week of Rev. Father Dubble. J. B. Rac made a trip to Los Angeles the fore part of the week to meet friends from Oregon on their way to Washington D.C. J.

Crowther contemplates a trip to Europe in the spring. He will be accompanied by his daughters, Misses Sadie and Ruby Crowther. The sale of 5 acres on South street belonging to Michael Noino to L. Schultheis of Oregon is reported. Consideration $2,000. Peter Weisel Jr., having made his fortune in the fruit preserving business has purchased an interest in a Los Angeles lithographing establishment and will devote a portion of his time in future to his new business. Stock & Schwentker report sale of 30 acres, three of which are set to oranges, together with a house, a pumping plant, and a fine patch of alfalfa belonging to Mr. Duman of the West End to Mr. Burger and son of New York, consideration $6500. Mr. Burger will erect two new residences on the place. D. W. C. Cowan, a former resident of Anaheim, died in Los Angeles last week in his seventy-sixth year. Mr. Cowan had been a resident of Los Angeles for a number of years and leaves a wide circle of acquaintances throughout this section who will regret to hear of his demise. Clarence Groat has had a force of cement workers during the week laying curbs or Chartres, Cypress, and Emily streets. Mr. Groat's cement mechanics is said to be the superior of any vet engaged here. As a consequence he is doing the city a first class job. He will be engaged some weeks in laying sidewalks. E. Turk, hed chemist of the Oxnard sugar factories in California and Louisiana, returned to his home in this city this week from Adeline plantation, after an absence of several months. He says the southern cane crop is a record breaker this season, in quality as well as quantity. He will remain here until work starts at Chino in the spring. Dr. Schlessinger, founder of a vegetarian colony in Placentia, in the 70's, dropped into town Tuesday evening after an absence of 25 years departing the following morning. The Doctor now lives in Chattanooga and still clings to his vegetable diet, only that he perfers the viands cooked instead of taking them in their raw state, otherwise his mode of living has always been the same high as 30 to 35 per cent infestation. The next Southern California Walnut Growers' Institute will be held in Ventura county on February 15, according to the decision of the intercounty walnut growers' department, that met recently at the California Walnut Growers' Association. The new officers for this intercounty department are Frank Tetley of Riverside, chairman, and Lee Braucher, California Walnut Growers' Association, secretary. A program for the Ventura institute includes M. Collier, Ventura; Vincent Blancheard, Ventura, and Harold E. Wahlberg, Santa Ana. Mr. Smiley reported that the department has asked the Riverside Experiment Station to conduct a cost study on better walnut harvesting methods. A tour of walnut growers will be scheduled soon to visit the fertilizer plots established by the station. It is said that on the average there is a divorce granted in Cook County, Illinois, each hour during the year. So if you move to Chicago among other things you might as well take out some allmony insurance, too. DON'T FORGET LICENSE Hunters and fishermen who are planning trips into the field during the month of January should remember that it will be necessary to have a license for the year of 1930. In spite of the publicity that has been given the change of two years ago, when licenses for shooting were made to read from the first day of January, the procuring of new licenses is always left until the last day, and many sportsmen find themselves in the embarrassing position of being without the necessary credentials. The Division of Fish and Game announces that the purchasers of non-resident hunting licenses for the season of 1930 thereby gain no right to take game birds or animals legally killed within the state of California to their home state. In the past, the law prohibiting the taking of game birds and animals from the state has been overlooked, particularly on the Oregon boundary, but the deputy game wardens have been instructed to enforce this law rigidly in the future. The twentieth century is now in its thirties and we hope that it will soon begin to learn something. No. 412 B Mother! Watch Child's Tongue California Fig Syrup" is E. Turk, hed chemist of the Oxnard sugar factories in California and Louisiana, returned to his home in this city this week from Adeline plantation, after an absence of several months. He says the southern cane crop is a record breaker this season, in quality as well as quantity. He will remain here until work starts at Chino in the spring. Dr. Schlessinger, founder of a vegetarian colony in Placentia, in the 70's, dropped into town Tuesday evening after an absence of 25 years departing the following morning. The Doctor now lives in Chattanooga and still clings to his vegetable diet, only that he perfers the viands cooked instead of taking them in their raw state, otherwise his mode of living, has always been the same. He did not call upon the Hinde colony, his time here being short. He is still hale and hearty. Mrs. Bertha Hartman, a native of Germany, died on Jan. 28, at Gardone, Italy, aged 81 years. Mrs. Hartman was the mother of F. A. Hartman of Los Angeles, and Miss Aniv Hartman, of Gardene, Italy. She formerly resided in Anaheim and was a sister of the late R. Thiele and Mrs. Reiser. Mrs. Hartman's remains will be cremated in Italy and her ashes will be brought to Anaheim for burial in the family plot beside those of her husband. Mrs. Hartman is well remembered by many old time friends in this city, among whom news of her death will occasion heartfelt regret. Neill E. Bailey and wife, of Naco, Ariz., were visitors in town between trains Tuesday afternoon. They came over from Tucson and departed on the afternoon train for San Francisco. Neill is a member of the Arizona legislature and is chairman of the appropriations committee, the ways and means committee and a half dozen others.
