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 MARCH 13, 1880 The Anaheim Literary Union met at the Presbyterian church on Thursday evening, March 11th with President Zeyn in the chair. M. J. Guinn read a humorous selection entitled "How to Manage Carpets," which seemed to touch a responsive chord in the hearts of the audience. Miss Therese Wille recited "Placing a Daughter at School," very expressively. Julius Voight read, "What Shall We do with Our Daughters?" Miss Carrie Seibert read "Clovison the Mormon." E. M. Ferguson declamied "The Old Man in the Stylish Church." Song, "People Will Talk," by Misses Seibert and Campbell. "The Burning of Chicago" was read by Mr. Geo. Shaffer in an impressive manner. Mr. C. W. Campbell read, "The Death of Hoffer." Mr. E. P. Marsh declaimed, "The Launching of the Ship," very creditably. After recess, and the reading of queries by the secretary the Leader was read by the editor, Mrs. Parker. The following new officers were elected for the next three months: President, Ernest M. Ferguson; vice president, Miss Mary Brier, secretary, C. W. Campbell; Treasurer, Frank P. Marsh; editor, Miss Nellie Kuchel. Mr. Henry Rogers has this season planted 700 trees—chiefly orange—and five acres of Muscat grape vines. He has set out a number of cherry trees, which he is inclined to think will grow and produce here as well as any other northern fruit, with proper treatment. It is said that Gen. Stoneman, of San Gabriel, finds no difficulty in growing cherries on his farm. A terrific wind storm passed over Pasadena and a portion of San Gabriel Valley on Tuesday night, that for a time was the Mr. Henry Rogers has this season planted 700 trees—chiefly orange—and five acres of Muscat grape vines.

Stoneman, of San Gabriel, finds no difficulty in growing cherries on his farm. A terrific wind storm passed over Pasadena and a portion of San Gabriel Valley on Tuesday night, that for a time was the nearest approach to a hurricane of anything ever known in this portion of the state. The wind howled and roared like a regular Niagara among the trees. Birds and fowls were frightened from their roasts in the tree tops and domestic animals sought shelter under houses and sheds. The most singular feature of this atmospheric disturbance was that while for some distance above the ground the wind blew furiously, on the ground there was not a ripple sufficient to disturb a feather. No damage was done so far as we are able to learn. Sheriff Rowland arrested a man in Los Angeles in the early part of the week, on suspicion of complicity in the robbery at Orange. Among other articles found in his possession were several pairs of new blankets, which it was thought might have been taken from Crowder's store. Mr. Crowder, however upon inspecting the blankets, said that they were not the kind of which he had been robbed. He also failed to recognize the arrested man, who was consequently set free. There is really no clue to the robbers, and it is probable that they will go "scot free." The Board of Supervisors at the last session allowed the county clerk six deputies at the following salaries: One at $125 per month; two at $100 each; one at $85 and two at $75 each. The Recorder was allowed three deputies: One at $125 per month and two at $75 each. The tax collector was allowed one deputy at $100 per month for three months during the year. Mr. C. E. Leonard who has been on a trip to San Juan Capistrano during the week, tells us that the feed along the entire route is plentiful. This is going to be the best year for stock raisers ever known in this southern country, and is sharp contrast to the state of affairs in the northern part of the state where the cold weather has destroyed the feed. Our citizens are indebted to Col. Dunham for the presence of the juvenile Pinafore troupe at Kroeger's hall last night. He not only engaged them to come here, but had to send stages to River-side to transfer the jolly crew over the raging main which separates that place from Anaheim. We hope his enterprise was substantially rewarded. On last Friday Deputy Sheriff Celis captured Luis Ramirez at the Tejon ranch. Two years ago, Ramirez shot and killed Reyes Romero near Cucamonga since which time he has been in New Mexico. He returned a few days previous to his capture, a fact of which Celis was apprised. The following astonishing bits of information are from the San Diego News: "W. Steinhart, cashier of a house in Anaheim was robbed on Friday last by a bold masked man. He got about a hundred dollars. It was a high handed piece of business, the same night seven masked men rode to the store of R. L. Crowder and bound the proprietor and five men who were lounging in the On last Friday Deputy Sheriff Celis captured Luis Ramirez at the Tejon ranch.

It was a high handed piece of business, the same night seven masked men rode to the store of R. L. Crowder and bound the proprietor and five men who were lounging in the store. One man offered resistance and was knocked down with a revolver by one of the highwaymen. They got about $4000 in cash." Mr. Irvine of the San Joaquin rancho accompanied by his guest, Mr. Hanna, of San Francisco, visited our sanctum yesterday. Mr. Irvine confirms the opinion recently expressed in these columns as to the gratifying prospect for wool growers. Messrs. F. and J. Backs are selling the improved Victor sewing machines for $30. This is the cheapest and best machine ever put upon the market, and the price at which they are sold leaves little margin for profit. The same machine sold for $65 two years ago. Mr. L. N. Evans has received peremptory orders to sell the articles enumerated in his advertisement; one corn planter, two windmills, one wheel cultivator and one top carriage. In consequence they are offered at rare bargains. No such opportunity is likely to occur again soon. A beautiful full-blown red camelia grown in Anaheim in the open air, adorns the show-case in Ferguson & Lake's drug store. And yet some people say this has been a cold winter. On last Thursday about 10 o'clock a shock of an earthquake was felt in San Bernardino. It was heavy enough to upset a lamp in the home of Sheriff Davies and the fire which ensued completely destroyed the house. At the meeting of citizens on Saturday night, to take action in the matter of employing a night watchman, Fred W. Athiam was chosen to that position. DAYS OF LONG AGO The Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century A Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 16, 1905 Rain began falling on Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, a half inch was recorded by Mr. Dickel's gauge at 7 o'clock that evening. Sunday was a rainy day. Beginning at 11 o'clock rain fell in sheets at intervals during the day. At noon the heaviest downout of the year set in and continued until the streets and gutters ran with water. Heavy winds blew from the south shortly after noon, during which rain fell steadily. Showers fell occasionally during the night and on Monday half an inch fell bringing the total for the storm up to 2.28 inches and for the season 12.95. Lightning played havoc with telephone lines in all directions. The Santa Ana river was higher on Monday night than for many years. A large tract at Bolsa and adjoining lands was overflowed. The storm of Sunday night washed out both Southern Pacific and Santa Fe tracks between this point and Los Angeles, and communication between the two points was interfered with. The Santa Fe washout occurred at Hobart and the Santa Fe was compelled to use the Salt-Lake tracks in order to get its trains out of Los Angeles. All trains were hours late and travelers were considerable inconvenienced. The Southern Pacific had several trains stalled here on Monday but traffic was restored during the night. Telephone wires were down in all directions but were in operation again on Tuesday. Wm. Falkenstein returned some days ago from San Francisco and during the week a fine line of goods has arrived for his establishment. Mr. Falkenstein reports a way up time in the metropolis, he having met all the members of the Anaheim Colony now domiciled there and enjoyed a pleasant trip about the Adding New Wings To State Building Contract Let for Two Six-Story Additions to San Francisco State Structure Awards of contracts covering construction of two new six-story wings to the State Building in San Francisco totaling $260,000 were announced jointly by the Departments of Public Works and Finance. This work, which was made possible when Governor C. C. Young signed an appropriation bill for $330,000 last year, will start within the next 30 days and it is hoped to have the new wings ready for occupancy by the first of next year. The general contract was awarded to the firm of Vogt & Davidson of San Francisco on its bid of $206,643. The plumbing and heating contract went to the Scott Company of San Francisco, on a bid of $16,184 and the electrical contract to the Porter Electric Company of San Francisco, on a bid of $10,600. To these figures the State will add estimates of $700 for hardware, $7,371 for linoleum, $2,400 for electric service, $4,500 for supervision and testing and $11,602 for contingencies making a grand total of $260,000. This leaves a net balance of $70,000 available in the appropriation for partitions and furnishings, an amount which the state bodies hope will be sufficient. Lyman M. King and Hert B. Meek, directors of the departments of finance and public works, respectively, regard the bids as remarkably low and expressed gratification that so large an amount would be left over for furnishings. The contracts call for the construction of the wings on the Redwood Street side of the State Building. They will be of reinforced concrete with granite facings on Polk and Larkin Streets and cast stone on Redwood Street, conforming in every way to the general plan of construction of the existing building which is of Italian Renaissance design. No new entrances will be made, it being the plan to use the existing main Wm. Falkenstein returned some days ago from San Francisco and during the week a fine line of goods has arrived for his establishment. Mr. Falkenstein reports a way up time in the metropolis, he having met all the members of the Anaheim Colony now domiciled there and enjoyed a pleasant trip about the city with them. Miss Roxy L. Beebe, daughter of Mrs. N. Beebe, and W. E. Perrin, of Illinois, were married Wednesday evening of last week at the residence of the brides mother. Rev. Johnson performed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Perrin left for Illinois where they will make their home. The bride is a sister of Dr. J. L. Beebe and Bird V. Beebe. The groom is a prosperous farmer of Illinois. Heirs of the late Leonard Parker have gone to court over a division of the property, which consists of a sixty acre tract northeast of town valued at $16,000. Joel Parker has asked the superior court for an order of sale, so that the ranch may be sold and the proceeds divided; while the other heirs oppose such plan. Judge West has announced his decision to appoint three referees who shall determine by examination of the wishes of the nine children, whether the estate shall be sold in a lump piece or whether it shall first be divided into nine parts and then sold separately. A reunion of the family of the late W. J. Smith was held at the old homestead in Orangethorpe avenue on Sunday, and when the kin folks assemble there is quite a gathering. On this occasion the day passed pleasantly to all. A bountiful spread was one of the features and all were in reminiscent mood and related many events of happy memory of there younger years when all comedd about the old homeplace. Frank Fox and Mike Neipp went duck hunting at Newport some days ago and returned with a bag of feathered beauties. One of the incidents of the trip was Neipp's involuntary bath in the waters of the bay before daylight. He stepped from the boat into deep water missing his calculations of the shore a few feet. He was wet to the skin, but continued the hunt and along with Prof. Fox enjoyed a fine day's sport. Erwin Barr reports that the warm weather of the past fortnight has caused weeds to spring up at a lively rate in the cemetery. The present seems an opportune time for clearing lots and arresting the growth of weeds which take up moisture to the detriment of growing plants and flowers. R. H. Gilman was a business visitor in town one day recently. Mr. Gilman is preparing to send out his first carload of this season's oranges, the variety being a late one. Quality up to the usual high standard. Richard Melrose of this city has been appointed by Gov. Pardee to be trustee of the State Normal School in Los Angeles. Mr. Melrose's appointment was sent to the senate along with that of Charles Dwight Willard, the eminent Los Angeles reformer, but the wise men of the upper house objected to the latter, and his appointment was withdrawn. Orange county wins; Los Compensation Insurance The Growers' Blanket Policy for compensation insurance provided by the California Fruit Growers' Exchange for its growers is reported to have completed two very successful years. Many growers are taking advantage of this Exchange service, the renewal date of which is March 1, each year. According to B. B. Gregory, assistant secretary of the Exchange, a number of growers have not yet filed their renewals, a matter which must receive immediate attention, otherwise their policies will lapse and they will be without compensation insurance coverage. "Now's the time for more Sunlist growers to join this blanket policy, when they get a full year's coverage at the very low rate," said Mr. Gregory. No. 412 B Mother!

They will appear in court March 27th. Andy Fuhrberg and "Bud" Eubanks have had the grounds at Athletic Park put in first-class condition and free of all foreign growth. A good job was performed, and the grandstand was touched up with saw and hammer and the park will now lineup with the best of them. A. W. Danforth was in town from the northside on Monday. He reports a precipitation of 1.65 inches of rain during Sunday's storm. Samuel Kraemer drove in from Placentia, Tuesday. He reports the storm's precipitation as about two and a half inches up his way. Fritz Yungbluth has been on the sick list with tonsilitis for several days but is recovered sufficiently to be about again. Dr. Adams has purchased a lot in the Sunrise tract from Frank Baum and will shortly begin the erection of a $2000 residence.
