IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in 50 Years Ago This Week FEBRUARY 21, 1880 Frank Ey returned from San Francisco on Wednesday. The Board of Supervisors has granted the petition of James McFadden for a franchise to build a shute at Newport Landing. Louis Mendelson, of San Rafael, is visiting in town. Mr. M. visits here three or four times a year, in fact whenever a revolution is in progress in Lower California. The marriage of Mr. S. B. Smith and Miss Kate Shamburger was solemnized on last Saturday, February 14th at the residence of E. S. Saxton, Rev. P. D. Young officiating. We join with the friends of the bride and groom in sending congratulations and good wishes. Mr. Byron O. Clark and Miss Mary E. Kellogg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. E. Kellogg, were married on February 12th at the home of the brides parents west of Anaheim by the Rev. A. J. Compton. The Gazette corps was kindly remembered by the happy couple. We join in wishing them a long and happy life. A grand hunt will take place on next Saturday the 28th inst., the start to be at 1 o'clock P.M., from the residence of Mr. F. J. Schmidt, N. E. of Anaheim. All hunters are hereby given a cordial invitation to be present and much sport is confidently promised. Mr. Byron O. Clark and Miss Mary E. Kellogg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. E.

In the superior court on Saturday the following proceedings were heard: In estate of J. H. Fruit, deceased—Will admitted to probate and letters testamentary ordered to issue to Wm. H. Snurgeon upon qualifying in the sum of $3,000. In estate of Henry Hansen, deceased—Letters of administration granted to Mrs. H. Hansen upon justifying in the sum of $500. As there is some misapprehension about the matter, it is just as well to state that the Pacific Coast Steamship company is building a wharf at Timm's Point near Wilmington. At this point the water is quite satisfactory in depth and a vessel has ample room to swing. The steamship company will get a large accession to its business under the new schedule established by the railroad company to conform to the new constitution. A couple of weeks ago Mr. H. Werder sent to his son-in-law in San Francisco one keg of angelica, one keg of port and one keg of vinegar. The kegs arrived in due time at the consignee's house. The keg marked angelica was tapped without delay and gave forth sparkling—water. It had been despoiled of its vinous contents while enroute and filled up with the particular vanity of the Good Templars. The port wine had also been tampered with, but the vinegar was intact. This is not the first time that Mr. Werder has been occasioned annoyance in the same way, and there does not appear to be any mode of obtaining redress. There is complaint among the vineyardests in regard to the rates which the railroads exact on empty barrels. The rate on old barrels from San Francisco is $1.40 per hundred pounds; on new barrels $2.60 per hundred pounds and on kegs $1.85 per hundred pounds. People who are not up in the mysteries of railroad tariffs will have some difficulty in determining why it is worth twice as much to transport a new barrel as an old one (both weighing the same and occupying the same space) and why one rate would not suffice for old and new barrels and kegs. The Board of Supervisors at their meeting on Saturday, adopted the same scale of charges for the Wilmington wharf as were in force last year. In view of the fact that the West refunding bill does not cover the requirements of this county. The Board adopted a resolution instructing the Los Angeles delegation in the Legislature to urge the passage of a law to enable the supervisors to refund the county indebtedness by the issuance of a new series of bonds redeemable in twenty years. A draft of the desired bill, prepared by Dist. Atty. Thom will be forwarded to each member of the delegation. The Board then adjourned until the first Monday in March. Messrs. J. B. Travis and H. F. Gardner, of Orange, visited this office the other day. It is the opinion of these gentlemen that the water in the river during the summer months will not be over abundant, and as they have been acting for some years as superintendent and zanjero respectively of the Santa Ana Valley Board adopted a resolution instructing the Los Angeles delegation in the Legislature to urge the passage of a law to enable the supervisors to refund the county indebtedness by the issuance of a new series of bonds redeemable in twenty years. A draft of the desired bill, prepared by Dist. Atty. Thom will be forwarded to each member of the delegation. The Board then adjourned until the first Monday in March. Messrs. J. B. Travis and H. F. Gardner, of Orange, visited this office the other day. It is the opinion of these gentlemen that the water in the river during the summer months will not be over abundant, and as they have been acting for some years as superintendent and zanjero respectively of the Santa Ana Valley Water Company, they have had ample opportunity of studying the subject of water supply and their views are entitled to consideration. It would seem to be good policy for irrigators to flood their lands before the latter part of May, and they would then be able to tide over the hot and dry months without loss or damage to trees or vines. Henry Comstock borrowed a horse from Marshal Horton (who lives near Orange) one day last when saying he wanted to visit Santa Ana. He went to Riverside, San Bernardino county, instead, and on Monday he was arrested there with the horse in his possession. He was brought to Anaheim on Tuesday and turned over to Deputy Sheriff Barham. His examination was set for Wednesday morning, but during Tuesday night he broke the lock from the door of the room in the hotel where he was confined and made his escape. Mr. Barham offers a reward of $20 for the recapture of the fugitive. (Since the above was put in type we learn that Comstock was recaptured at Riverside by J. D. Hughes, who will bring his prisoner to Anaheim today. The Anaheim Literary Union met on Thursday evening, February 19th. Miss Ella Mitchell was elected president pro tem. The following programme was given: Trio, by Miss Carrie Seibert and the Misses Campbell. Reading by Otto des Granges, Jr. The Comic Muse—"Courting in Harvest Time." Recitation by Miss Sadie Crowther, "St. Michael's Choir." Reading by Mrs. Lewis "Where's the Shears." Recitation by Miss Parker, "The Orphan's Prayer." Recess. Violin and organ duet by Prof. Frink and Miss Seibert. In response to an encore Prof. Frink and Miss Seibret performed another duet. Debate, "Resolved, That capital punishment should be abolished"; Affirmative, D. R. Payne and C. W. Campbell; Negative, Theodore Lynill and Mrs. Parker. The committee on the merits of the debate, Mrs. Lewis and Messrs. Fish and Marsh decided in favor of the affirmative. New officers will be elected at the next meeting and a full attendance of the members is desired. S OF LONG AGO 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 23, 1905 Wm. Falkenstein is in San Francisco on a fortnight's business and pleasure trip. Mr. and Mrs. John Hart of Los Angeles, visited friends in town yesterday. Erwin Kellogg received on Tuesday a box of pineapples from his brother, Leonard, grown on the latter's planation in the Hawaiian islands. John Selinger has been presented with a gold medal by Capt. Stern for the highest score made in the company target practice. He made 165 points out of a possible 225. Good for John. J. B. Neff is in Sacramento with the committee of orange and walnut growers interested in the passage of the bill providing for a pathological station in Southern California. He will probably return the latter part of the week. Mrs. Juliet Baily, of Burlington, Iowa, accompanied by her son, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Carver. The thermometer registered 32 below a day or two before she left Iowa. She will remain during the winter. Wm. Hill, well known threshing machine operator, was in town the other day on business, and informs us he expects to have Walnut Husk Fly To Be Discussed The status of the walnut husk fly control is to be discussed at the Inter-County Walnut Growers' Institute to be held in Ventura County at the Ventura Union High School, Ventura, starting at 9:45 A.M., by A. M. Boyce, Assistant Entomologist, Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside. The walnut husk fly is a comparatively new insect attacking certain varieties of walnuts. The danger of the spread of this pest has presented a distinct problem during the past two years and has worked out a very satisfactory control for it. Mr. Doyce will discuss the control work and the problem of the walnut husk fly from the standpoint of walnut sections of California. RECIPE TO DARKEN GRAY HAIR You Can Make a Better Gray Hair Remedy Than You Can Buy. Gray, streaked or faded hair is not only unbecoming, but unnecessary. Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and ¼ oz. of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost, or the druggist will put it up for you. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. This will make a gray-haired person look twenty years younger. It is easy to use, does not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off.

Charley Stone has arranged for a big dance to be given in Stern and Goodman's new warehouse at Boromea, next Saturday night, February 25th. Whenever Charlie gives a dance you may rest assured of having an enjoyable time, and the young folks for miles around are anxiously waiting to here Charlie's musical voice calling. "swing your partner." Odd Fellows of this city will drive over to Fullerton on Monday evening to partake of an oyster supper at the expense of the latter. Six months ago a wager was entered into between the brothers as to which lodge would secure the most members during the ensuing half yearly term. Anaheim won, getting twelve new members to Fullerton's nine. Bird Beebe was tendered a surprise party some evenings ago in honor of his birthday. A party of friends came down from Los Angeles, joined a large party of local friends and descended on Mr. Beebe taking him completely by surprise. The evening was spent playing hearts after which dainty refreshments were served. The visitors from Los Angeles were Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Smith. Miss Gertrude Smith, Miss Dolly Reynolds and Miss Stella Gilcher.

Samuel Kraemer in dwelling upon the medtitudenous advantages enjoyed by this section, ventures the remark that this community is the cream of Southern California. Sam expects to soon see the electric cars go whizzing through here, which event will be a good thing for the country. Our nearby seacoast will be the means of drawing the people from our contiguous inland towns to the north, thereby placing this county to the fore during the summer season. Sam is good at prognosticating and reliance may be placed in what he says when speaking of an rally. The Anaheim high school track team were to have held a field day meet with the Santa Fe team from Los Angeles at Athletic park yesterday afternoon. The foreigners were to arrive at noon but disappointed a large crowd which gathered to see the contest. The local team was composed of Percy, Hartwell, Bradford, Swope, Christensen, Clabaugh, Archibald, Wallop, Merritt, Hasson, Barter and Conrad. The events were to include the following: Fifty yard dash, 100 yard dash, hammer throw, 440 yard dash, shot put, running broad jump, mile run, high jump, 220 yard dash. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the poet, accompanied by her husband, has been spending the week at the ranch of her nephew, Harry W. Wilcox, in the Katella district. Mr. Wilcox is one of the noted women of America. A genius of rare versatility, she is more over a writer keeping constantly in the harness, with such prodigious output that even her greatest admirers find it difficult to keep up with her. She has already achieved renown as a poet and contributor to the daily press, and now it seems she has sprung into sudden fame, as a playwright. Her trip to California was made primarily to superintend the production of her play, "Mizpah" at a San Francisco theater. After an enjoyable visit with relatives here, Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox take their departure today for their home in the east.
