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 i 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 27, 1880 The following item is taken from the London Telegraph:— There is another of the American states which, as a producer of oranges will soon distance all other competitors upon the Western Continent. California taking its name from the Spanish is said to be unrivaled in the deep black alluvial soil of its valleys, and in the suitability of its climate for the production of fruit of all kinds. If travelers are to be credited, Los Angeles, in Southern California, will, sooner or later, be the center of the richest orange growing district in the United States. The number of oranges which are said to hang upon a single branch of the trees in and about Los Angeles surpasses belief and the quality, moreover, is finer than that of any fruit of the kind grown in other parts of the North American Continent. The buds on some of the early-bearing vines have commenced swelling, and should the coming week or two be warm, the buds will be well enough advanced to be in danger from frost, should that dreaded April visitation appear this year. If the cool weather should continue a week or two, it would suit the people of this bailiwick very well. We were shown the other day by Mr. F. A. Gates a small can of sugar which had granulated from syrup made from the Minnesota Early Amber cane. This sample he sent to the San Francisco refinery for the purpose of learning what they can pay for it in large quantities. We will publish their reply when it is received. Farmers here are very hopeful of this industry, and cane will be planted quite extensively this season. We were shown the other day by Mr. F. A.

Farmers here are very hopeful of this industry, and cane will be planted quite extensively this season. The Hydraulic Hole Borer, for which the inventor, Joseph Bennerscheidt, of Anaheim, obtained a patent over a year ago, is now used extensively in the northern part of the state, in building wharves, boring wells, etc. While this is complimentary to the skill of the inventor, it is rank injustice to utilize his patent without offering compensation, and we learn that he is about to take legal steps to assert his rights. Offers to purchase the patent have been lately received by Mr. Bennerscheidt from New York and New Jersey. Mr. Jotham Bixby, of Los Anitos, with whom we had a conversation on Monday is inclined to the opinion that wool will reach thirty cents a pound this year. The wool will be exceedingly clean and free from burrs, and will reach the market in a better condition than it has ever done heretofore. Mr. Bixby does not remember any time, when the prospect for sheep men looked so bright. Eight hundred acres of the Cerritos are seeded to wheat, mostly Australian and the prospect for a full crop is excellent. Mr. H. J. McDermott has bought the large blacksmith shop on Lemon street which he has occupied for some years, paying Mr. Jordan $2500 therefor. Mr. Dermott will now carry on business on a larger scale than heretofore, and as he is a superior workman and excellent business man he will not fail to command success. Mr. Tim Carroll has bought nine acres of Mr. Guinn's land near the depot, and will at once begin to improve it. Mr. Carroll has done an immense business in cypress trees this year and he has found the transplanting, of which he is the patentee, a great help to him in his business. The marriage of Mr. George Shaffer and Miss Mary McKinnie was solemnized on Wednesday evening at the residence of the bride. The best wishes of the whole community are with the young couple and that their married life may be one of continued sunshine is our sincere wish. The Directors of the Santiago Gold and Silver Mining company visited their mine in Santiago canyon one day last week in a body and thoroughly inspected the ore, tunnels, etc., and discussed the prospects. The photographer, Mr. A. L. Pellegrin, took several views of the locality. Orpheus Lodge I. O. O. F. will give a ball at Kroeger's hall on the evening of Monday, April 26th, in celebration of the 61st anniversary of Old Fellowship. The arrangements for the supper will be perfected during the coming week, and a formal announcement of the affair will be made next Saturday. The following table of distances by rail is worth preserving: San Francisco to Los Angeles, 482.2 miles; Los Angeles to Colton, 57.5 to Yuma, 248.7; Yuma from San Francisco, 730.9. The above are on what is termed the Yuma division. On the Southern Pacific Orpheus Lodge I. O. O. F. will give a ball at Kroeger's hall on the evening of Monday, April 26th, in celebration of the 61st anniversary of Old Fellowship. The arrangements for the supper will be perfected during the coming week, and a formal announcement of the affair will be made next Saturday. The following table of distances by rail is worth preserving: San Francisco to Los Angeles, 482.2 miles; Los Angeles to Colton, 57.5 to Yuma, 248.7; Yuma from San Francisco, 730.9. The above are on what is termed the Yuma division. On the Southern Pacific Railroad of Arizona the distances are: Yuma to Gila Bend, 119.2; to Casa Grande, 182.3; to Tucson, 247.5; thus, making the latter place 978.4 miles from San Francisco, and distant from Los Angeles, 596.2 miles. About nine o'clock on Monday evening a brilliant meteorite was observed going oceanward about fifty or a hundred miles from Los Angeles. A small meteor was seen from Anaheim about 8:45 o'clock the same night. It came from a northerly direction and descending towards the earth exploded a short distance from Dr. Ferguson's sanatorium, throwing out a multitude of sparks. Mr. P. H. Look and Captain Ferguson have been sojourning in this vicinity for a few days past, gobbling up all the salable mutton and wool. Mr. W. M. Bailey, formerly of Anaheim is here on a similar mission. Ten carloads of sheep were shipped by J. A. White in the early part of the week. Messrs. Look & Ferguson have bought 6000 head of sheep which will probably be forwarded to San Francisco shortly. Mrs. Flora Brown has received a large case of spring hats and other millinery goods, which will be ready for the inspection of ladies in a day or two. The rainfall of Wednesday amounted to .44 and that of Wednesday night to .06 making the total for the season 10.65 inches. We gave the total last week as 10.35 inches when it should have been 10.15. The town authoritie have during the past two weeks built several foot bridges over impassable ditches. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 30, 1905 A large and enthusiastic mass meeting of citizens of this city and vicinity assembled at the city hall on Monday evening for the purpose of discussing the offering of a free site for the pathological station. J. F. Ahlborn presided and J. B. Neff was called upon to offer suggestion as to what is necessary in order to secure the station for this city. A lot 150x200 feet or thereabouts would be acceptable. He suggested that options upon several places be procured. A discussion was participated in by Messrs. Melrose, Collins, Baum, Grim, Miller, Adams and others, all of whom expressed approval of the plan to secure the station for this city. About $750 will have to be raised. An election will be held in school districts throughout the county next Friday, April 7th, the last legislature having changed the date from June to April. In the Anaheim district Trustee Lewis’ term expires and Trustee Clabaugh having been appointed to the vacancy caused by Mr. Maxwell’s resignation will also retire. Mr. Lewis has announced his purpose not to stand again for the office. The names of Mr. Clabaugh and P. H. Krick are mentioned for the two vacancies. At Loara district Mr. Webster will probably succeed himself. San Juan Capistrano will entertain the largest number of persons in the history of the old Mission, Thursday, June 8. Knights of Columbus will be in Southern California from all sections of the United States at the time mentioned and it is planned to entertain them with a barbecue and bull’s head breakfast, after the manner made famous by Col. Richard Egan, generally known as the King of Capistrano. John D. Mott and C. O. Desmond went Mr. Lewis has announced his purpose not to stand again for the office. The names of Mr. Clabaugh and P. H.

Richard Egan, generally known as the King of Capistrano. John D. Mott and C. O. Desmond went to the Mission Monday to survey the situation preparatory to arranging details for the proposed feast, among the features of which will be an address by Bishop Conaty. In addition to Col. Egan, C. F. Lummis, J. C. Cline and W. R. Rowland will assist in making the occasion one long to be remembered. The Anaheim Beet Growers association on Monday sold at auction its beet dumps and scales at Loara. Wm. Mauerhan and Eli Sparks bought the dump and L. A. Evans bought the scales. The dump brought $93 and the scales $70. A block and tackle was sold to W. F. Earnest for $1.50. The money derived from the scale has been placed on deposit in the First National where stockholders of the beet association may call and receive their pro rata, about 20 cents per share being realized. There are 144 stockholders. A. W. Danforth, some days ago, found water trickling into his well-pit which is 59 feet deep. The following day the water rose three inches, and at latest reports was still rising. A few years ago water stood at a depth of 20 feet in Mr. Danforth's well, its present depth showing to what extent it has lowered. Mr. Danforth believes water will yet rise to its former level, with a succession of wet years, and in this belief he is joined by a number of pump men of the neighborhood. Ben Dresser, an old time Anaheim boy, has been in town a day or two from Portland. Ben conducts one of the largest retail grocery stores in the northern town and has done well since leaving here ten years ago. The old hankering after Southern California exists with him, however, and it would not surprise his friends to see him locate here and go into business. Tuesday he hired a rig and tried to find his former home in Placentia, and had difficulty in locating it, owing to the many improvements in that section. Annual meeting of the Ladies Aid society of the Presbyterian church was held Thursday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Arthur Lewis. Officers were elected as follows: Mrs. J. B. Rae, president; Mrs. W. H. Spake, first vice president; Miss Elsie Aubert, second vice president; Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw, secretary; Mrs. L. E. Miller, treasurer. It was decided to give a picnic in Santiago canyon in the near future. Chas. Wille, who for many years conducted a cooperage business here, died Monday of last week at the home of his son-in-law, Chas. Albrecht, in Stalor, aged 68 years. Interment occurred in Rosedale cemetery Los Angeles. Deceased lived here for thirty years and was a highly respected citizen. Five years ago he removed to Los Angeles where he lived until failing health induced him to change his residence to Staldor. He leaves a widow and daughter.

Five years ago he removed to Los Angeles where he lived until failing health induced him to change his residence to Staldor. He leaves a widow and daughter. Miss Anne Everhardy returned this week from Leavenworth, Kansas, ill of typhoid fever. She went to the St. Louis fair last fall and remained to visit relatives in Leavenworth. An epidemic of typhoid fever has prevailed in that city. Miss Everhardy was ill upon the train but succeeded in reaching home. A trained nurse from Los Angeles is waiting upon her. Yesterday her condition was serious. Madame Modjeska and Count Bozenta, who have been living at their mountain home at Arden during the winter, depart next week for New York, where Modjeska will be given a monster benefit testimonial tendered by Paderewski, Sembrich, and other friends of the noted couple. Don David Yorba was a visitor in town from his home up the river the fore part of the week. Don David says the river is full of water and predicts the most favorable season the county has had in years. A large crowd of art lovers assembled at Back's hall yesterday and the day before to view the art exhibit on display. Among scenes familiar to all were water color sketches by Miss Ingraham of Laguna, and one of the old Bremmerman place with its strings of bright colored chili peppers drying in the sun. J. R. Webb, of Wall Lake, Iowa, brother of Painter Webb of this city, has bought a tract of land here and will make this place his home. He has spent two seasons here and thinks this valley is all right. Mr. Webb's family is in the east and he will shortly go there and arrange for their removal here. Ed. Kraemer has been laid up with inflammatory rheumatism. His knee had to be lanced several times by Dr. Johnston and at the latest accounts Ed was in a fair way to recovery.
