IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a C Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Hist the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FEBRUARY 28, 1880 Little Willie Lawrence, grandson of Dr. Hardin, had the misfortune to break his arm one day last week. Mr. R. H. Gilman shipped to Sacramento last week an order of a carload of young orange trees. An assessment of fifty cents per acre has been levied by the Anaheim Water Company payable before March 20th. The case against Mr. J. K. Tuffree, charged with extortion by Jean Dihort was dismissed by Justice Bailey as it was proved by defendant that the charge was entirely without foundation. The case of Witte vs. the Black Star Coal Mining coming, a suit to recover $150 salary as superintendent. Judgment in favor of defendant was rendered by Justice Gannon, yesterday. Wilhelmj spent an hour in Rose's wine vaults at San Gabriel. Did his appearance on emergency recall to anyone the old saying, "Drunk as a fiddler?" Among the many other improvements being made on the farm of Mrs. E. Browning is the planting of 200 peach trees and thirty acres of vineyard, the vines being chiefly of the Zinfandel and Malvoise varieties. Edward Schubert died at his home here on February 26th, Wilhelmj spent an hour in Rose's wine vaults at San Gabriel.

Browning is the planting of 200 peach trees and thirty acres of vineyard, the vines being chiefly of the Zinfandel and Malvoise varieties. Edward Schubert died at his home here on February 26th, aged 28 years. The funeral was held yesterday at 3 o'clock and the large number who attended to pay the last tribute of respect, attested the esteem in which he was held in the community. Mr. F. G. Beauchamp tells us that his son, who is at Tombstone A. T., in a recent letter said that barley was worth six cents per pound there and potatoes seven cents per pound. It looks as if the man who would send out a lot of barley and potatoes to the Territory ought to make money from the venture. Harry Thistlewaite, who has been wintering in the mountains above Silverado, has been thawing out in town for a few days past. Snow fell to a depth of six inches at his camp, and for twelve days the ground was covered with the fleecy particles. Ice formed to a thickness of 11-8 inches. All this was in the county of Los Angeles, State of California. Mr. John Fischer having resigned as assessor and collector of Anaheim School District, an election will be held today at the school house to fill the vacancy. The polls will be open from 8 A.M. until sunset. The person elected today will hold office only until June, at which time his successor will be elected, and also one school trustee. The only candidate so far as we know is Richard Melrose. An offer was made recently to furnish the Episcopal Sunday School in this town with a library valued at fifty dollars, if twenty-five dollars could be raised here. The Rev. A. G. L. Trew had received eight dollars for a library fund before his departure, to which seventeen dollars has since been added. The money has been sent to New York and the books will probably be received in three weeks, when it is proposed to reorganize the Sunday School. Due notice will be given. The storm of last Saturday and Sunday was a welcome visitation throughout Southern California and entirely changed the aspect of affairs in all the agricultural counties. In the northern part of the state snow took the place of rain and fell in unusual quantities. The heaviest rainfall was at Santa Barbara, where ten inches fell in forty-eight hours. The fall in Los Angeles was 1.65 inches, making the total for the season 14.37 inches. In Anaheim the fall was .95 making the seasons total 9.21 inches. The rainfall at Mr. E. A. Saxton's place registered a fall of 1.25 inches during the storm of the 21st and 22nd. By notice in an other column it will be seen that the partnership heretofore existing between Messrs. Scott and Montgomery has been dissolved. Mr. Montgomery has leased the office adjoining Goodman and Rimpau's store, where those seeking legal advice will find him, except on Tuesdays and Fridays, on which days he is at his office at Santa Ana. Mr. Scott retains the office in Kroeger's block so long used by the firm, and will as heretofore, attend to all kinds of legal business, making however, probate business as usual.

The orchard of the Southern California Semi-Tropical Fruit company, near Anaheim, will soon begin to yield a revenue to the stockholders. The superintendent, Mr. R. H. Gilman, has shipped large quantities of limes, and a few oranges and lemons this year and in another twelve months the sales of citrus fruit from this orchard will be considerable. The size, vigor and genuine thriftiness of the trees is remarkable when the fact is taken into consideration that they were grown almost wholly without water. Mr. Gilman doesn't believe much in irrigation anyhow, and announces his determination to practice it very seldom. A little judicious watering, however, is of value. He has noticed for instance that the result of irrigation his lime orchard late in the spring is to make the fruit much larger than it would be if irrigation was omitted. Some exceedingly unique and simple hygrometers have been made by the ingenious jeweler, Mr. R. Luedke. The moisture or dryness of the atmosphere, acting upon a small piece of violin string, to which is attached a hand resembling that of a clock, indicates on a dial, appropriately marked, the changes of the weather. Thus, an excess of moisture in the atmosphere causes the "catgut" to expand or unloosen its coils, and this action causes the hand attached to travel round the dial plate in the direction of the rain mark. A dry atmosphere, on the contrary, causes the string to contract, and the hand travels to that part of the dial marked fair. These hygrometers accurately indicated the approach of the recent storms. It will be noticed also, that the action of the atmosphere on the string is entirely different from what is popularly supposed. Most fiddlers would make a solemn affidavit that moisture contracts their fiddle strings and heat expands them, but the action of these hygrometers shows what a big mistake they are laboring under. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 2, 1905 County Recorder Peters has been in Sacramento during the week seeing that county salaries are not raised too high. Mrs. Wilmot Mowry and young son, of San Francisco, are visiting here, the guests of Mrs. Konig. Mrs. J. J. Schneider is entertaining Miss Annie Wood, a noted contralto singer of San Diego. Miss Wood will remain a fortnight. Mr. and Mrs. A. Nagle spent Sunday with friends at Long Beach. Miss Julia Nemetz spent Sunday with Los Angeles friends at Ocean Park. Herman Dickel and M. L. Rogers took in the sights at Ocean Park and Los Angeles, Sunday. Father Dubble, Father Frey and Mr. Dubble, father of the first named gentleman, visited at San Diego, Coronado and the Missions in that county the past week. The Anaheim Gas company has elected L. E. Miller, president; T. S. Grimshaw, vice president; M. K. Miller, secretary; B. V. Reebe, treasurer. Johnny Kuebler was in town this week from Long Beach. Florida Commends California Methods Cooperative Organizations Unified Marketing of Citrus Fruit Florida paid the California citrus industry a glowing tribute in the January issue of the Florida Grower, when the following statement was made in an advertisement by the Florida Citrus Exchange: "California has unified marketing in that the growers' cooperative organization controls approximately 75 per cent of the citrus output. During the 1928-1929 season, California shipped 88,010 carloads of citrus, sold f. o. b. for $118,874,102. Florida Exchange is steadily growing and that the Florida growers are fast realizing the advantages of a unified cooperative plan. To Florida growers comparative 1929 citrus returns, as the result of 75 per cent or more of the fruit through the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Indicative of the volume of citrus fruit handled last year, recent reports from the California Fruit Growers Exchange show that 81,290 telegrams, cablegrams and radiograms were sent and received during last season by the Exchange telegraph department. This is the greatest number in Sunkist history. Wires sent to Sunkist representatives in all parts of the country and abroad numbered 43,616 while incoming messages containing market information and data helpful in moving last season's bumper crop, numbered 37,674. The wires contained 2,140,747 words. This is an average of approximately 260 telegrams of twenty-seven words each for every business day. This is part of the market news service which has been developed by the Exchange, a service which is cited as the most complete and reliable of its kind in the world. Sunkist representatives wire detailed reports of citrus conditions in important markets every day. This essential marketing information is immediately relayed to the twenty-three district exchanges and 210 local associations of the Exchange, and Herman Dickel and M. L. Rogers took in the sights at Ocean Park and Los Angeles, Sunday. Father Dubble, Father Frey and Mr. Dubble, father of the first named gentleman, visited at San Diego, Coronado and the Missions in that county the past week. The Anaheim Gas company has elected L. E. Miller, president; T. S. Grimshaw, vice president; M. K. Miller, secretary; B. V. Reebe, treasurer. Johnny Kuebler was in town this week from Long Beach. He sustained a loss of $2,000 in the recent fire which destroyed the pier. He is in the refreshment business, having his stand upon the wharf, and enjoys a prosperous business. R. E. Rees, who recently purchased the old Tim Carroll place of 140 acres west of town, is preparing to divide the property into small ranches and put it on the market. Mr. Rees is now a resident of Kansas but expects to make his home here in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph S. Hatfield have traded their sanitarium property here for a five-year leasehold upon a seventy-room lodging house in Los Angeles and this week took charge of the same. The new owner of the sanitarium property is Mrs. E. M. Schooley, who will refit and renovate the interior and conduct a boarding and rooming house. Ben Dauser, who recently purchased a tract of land on east Broadway near both the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific tracts, is having plans made for a grist mill which he will shortly begin erecting. He proposes to turn out rolled barley, cracked corn and other products of that character. There is an opening for such an industry and doubtless it will meet with success. Several carloads of pressed brick, iron and other building materials have arrived for the new brick structure now going up on Los Angeles street adjoining First National property. The bricks are white and come from Redondo Beach. Contractor Schindler has a force of mechanics engaged upon the foundation, and iron uprights are being placed in position. Mrs. J. M. Allis, wife of a former pastor of the Presbyterian church, visited this city over Sunday, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Robinson. They were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Grimshaw. They departed on Monday for Alhambra, where they are spending the winter, both being residents of the east. Mr. Allis died six years ago in Chile, whither he had gone as a Missionary. His daughter is now a missionary in South America. R. R. Staples is setting out a nursery of selected walnut trees and is making other improvements upon his ranch southwest of town. He is erecting a new barn, moving his house and will construct cement ditches for irrigating the tract. Mr. Staples has recently come into possession of twenty-six acres of the Merideth estate, and is now giving his personal supervision to making substantial improvements upon his property. Election of officers was held at the last meeting of the Literary and Debating society, resulting as follows: President, H. Wickett; vice president, Allen Knapp, secretary, Miss Ella Rae; treasurer, Wm. Green; editor, F. C. Gates. The society has had a steady growth since its organization, six months ago. The next meeting will be held on the evening of March 4th and an excellent bumper crop, numbered 37,674. The wires contained 2,140,747 words. This is an average of approximately 260 telegrams of twenty-seven words each for every business day. This is part of the market news service which has been developed by the Exchange, a service which is cited as the most complete and reliable of its kind in the world. Sunklist representatives wire detailed reports of citrus conditions in important markets every day. This essential marketing information is immediately relayed to the twenty-three district exchanges and 210 local associations of the Exchange, and this information is used by the Los Angeles sales department and the shippers in distributing shipments. This reliable system of market information is all-important to the shipper and grower, for without a service of this kind markets would be alternately over-loaded and depleted of citrus fruit supplies. The Exchange has built up this market service during its thirty-five years of service to the California citrus grower. Only an organization of this size and scope could possibly maintain such a service for its members. Fire Loss Decreases Fire losses in California's forests during 1929 showed a considerable decrease over 1928, a year of abnormally heavy loss, with only about half the damage done in 1929 as in the previous year, according to a report of the state department of natural resources. A total of 906,341 acres of various kinds of land were burned in 1929, with a loss of $1,294,269. In 1928 there were 1,266,372 acres burned and a loss of $2,360,504. Although the fire season was late in starting last year, it continued until late December. Fires numbering 3,356 were reported to the state during the season. Automobile in Snow Dan Zumwalt has at last shovelled his automobile out of the snow. A week ago he started to work on a trail-five and a quarter miles long from Lomo to Little Summit, near Chico. He reached the car where he had abandoned it during a heavy storm and found it covered with snow, but none the worse for the experience. No. 412 H Mother!

The next meeting will be held on the evening of March 4th and an excellent program has been arranged. Capt. Stern has received specifications for the proposed new armory for Company E. Efforts for organizing a joint stock company for erection of which are now in progress. The proposed new structure will be 60x180 feet and will cost $12,000. A site for the edifice has not yet been selected although several have been in contemplation. It is aimed to have the building one of the handsomest armories in the state. Local moneyed men are taking an interest in the enterprise. Louis Denni is making extensive improvements in his building on Los Angeles street. A new plate-glass front is being installed and other alterations and improvements made. Mr. Denni informs us the building has not yet been rented, but doubtless in its enhanced appearance will not be vacant long. He has been a resident of this section for some nineteen years and has abundant faith in the future of the county. He resides at Alamitos where he has for many years conducted a successful cheese factory. Henry Horstman who died at his home in San Francisco on Monday of last week was a pioneer who took active part in the development of the Northern Metropolis. He was the first vice-president of the German Loan and Savings society and his wealth was computed at a million. He bequeathed a large amount to charitable organizations and devised generous legacies to relatives, one of whom is Miss Marie Horstman of this city, a niece of the deceased capitalist. Mr. Horstman came to San Francisco in the fifties. In 1856 he was a member of the vigilance committee. Despite his large business interests he devoted much time and attention to doing good to his fellow men. His acts of charity were numerous and he was very modest about them. How much good he accomplished in his quiet way will never be known.
