IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Cent Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 10. 1880 This is the season of anxiety for vineyardists—the season when black frost is to be feared. A frost just about this time would do an incalculable amount of damage to the whole country; although in Anaheim its efforts would be in a great measure nullified by the use of smoke. Nearly all the vineyardists have piles of weeds and grape cuttings surrounding their vineyards, and it is safe to say that the proprietors of the gas works in Los Angeles have sold more coal tar this year than during the past five years combined. Sheet iron vessels in which to carry the burning tar from point to point, have also been purchased by the hundred and arrangement have, we believe, been made with the night watchman to give a general alarm whenever the thermometer indicates an approach to the freezing point. It will be seen that the most extraordinary precautions have been taken by our citizens to guard against damage by frost, but we have heard of no similar preventives being adopted in other communities. The first thirteen days of April are considered the critical period, and if they are passed safety there is little likelihood of any further damage. There has however, been frost in May. Indeed the hardest frost ever known here occurred on the night of the 1st of May, 1859, but Anaheim was then in its infancy and the vines were too young and vigorous to suffer much from the visitation. A heavy frost also fell on the nights of the 12th and 13th of May 1862. It often occurs that frost does damage only in spots; it will seriously blight one vineyard and scarcely touch the adjoining one. That of May 1862, exhibited this peculiarity in a marked degree, a majority of the vineyards escaping damage while others suffered severely. The Anaheim Literary Union met in the Presbyterian church on Thursday evening, April 8. Vice president Miss Brier again presided. The first in the literary exercises was a reading by Mrs. Carrie Seibert entitled "Billy's first and last drink." This The Anaheim Literary Union met in the Presbyterian church on Thursday evening, April 8. Vice president Miss Brier again presided. The first in the literary exercises was a reading by Mrs. Carrie Seibert entitled, "Billy's first and last drink." This was followed by a reading, "Beauty at the Beach," by Miss Sadie Crowther. The failure in the music committee resulted in a volunteer by Mrs. Parker entitled "Go on." A "Letter from Washington," was also read by Mrs. Parker. After recess Miss Alice Chase kindly volunteered a ballad entitled "The day is dark and dreary." Mr. F. P. Marsh gave a declaration and Mr. Leonard Kellogg favored with a volunteer "Helps to read." Mrs. Parker gave a little talk and offered a few suggestions which were embodied in a motion to substitute "definitions of uncommon words" "for the 'queries'". Mr. Campbell amended by having said definitions in connection with queries, carried as amended. Mrs. Parker resigned her position on the query committee and Mr. Taylor was appointed in her stead. F. P. March also resigned a similar position and the chair appointed C. W. Campbell to fill the vacancy. A growing opposition to have the church used for Taylor. "It didn't surprise" Mrs. Parker, and, in saying so, she gave some remarks which the society would do well to heed. The programme for next meeting April 15 is as follows: Music, recitation by Miss Lydia Parker; declamation, Mr. Al Taylor; recitation, Miss Sallie Hilmer; reading, J. M. Guinn; song Mr. T. S. Grimshaw; reading Mr. Geo. Shaffer; declamation, Mr. Ernest Ferguson; music; recitation, Miss Mary Brier; recitation, Miss Mary Kraemer; reading, Miss Rosa Campbell; declamation Mr. D. K. Payne. At the meeting of the Presbytery in Los Angeles last week it was decided to group the churches of the Santa Ana valley as follows: Westminister and Newport under one pastorate: Anaheim and Santa Ana; Colton and Arlington. Orange having a supply at present will not be grouped with any other but should it decide at any time to agree with Anaheim or Santa Ana, or both, in calling one who would be acceptable to all, it would probably be grouped with them. The Rev. Mr. Ellis, formerly of Chico, was installed as pastor of the Los Angeles church, and from the unanimity of the call and satisfaction expressed by all of his people he seems likely to heal the dissentions which have so long hindered its growth. The Board of Town Trustees met on Wednesday afternoon only routine business was transacted. The clerk was instructed to issue a letter of recommendation to Mr. J. F. Dalton testifying to his efficiency as town engineer and his faithfulness to duty. The Board adjourned to Wednesday, April 28, at which time it will meet to canvass the election returns and issue certificates of election to those entitled to receive them. The Arizona train, which left Los Angeles on Friday of last week, met with an accident on the down grade east of Cabazon. The couplings of some of the cars broke, and the result was that nineteen cars were piled on top of each other.

Early in the day P. H. Krick, candidate for the long term withdrew in favor of Wm. Schwenckert who had a clear field ahead of him during the day. He polled 79 votes. W.W. Adams, candidate for the short term defeated J. H. Clabaugh by a vote of 59 to 26. At West Anaheim no opposition was made to the re-election of F. H. Wessler, who polled eight votes. Santa Ana voted on Monday 695 to 602 to remain dry, but the three candidates on the license ticket defeated their prohibition opponents. Cubbon, Edgar and Sleeper were elected trustees in the first, third and fifth wards. Two years ago the vote was 688 against and 431 for saloons, total of 1119. Monday's total vote was 1297 an increase of 178 in two years. The dry vote shows a gain of 7 and the wets a gain of 171. Active fights were carried on in every ward, the most aggressive being in the third where Edgar defeated Finley by a margin of four votes. Four years ago Finley defeated Edgar by a close vote. R. Spoerl is having plans drawn for a brick business block which he purposes forthwith to erect on the site of his present Center Street block. The latter will be moved away and in its place will be put a one story building containing two stores. One of these will be occupied by Mr. Spoerl and the other by C. I. Hoople the new jeweler. Work will be started as soon as the contract can be let. J. Hahn this week sold to J. Cassou his three year old sorrel gelding for $300. The horse will be used by Mr. Cassou for driving R.

Mrs. Hahn drove the horse at Pasadena's horse show and the News of that city speaks as follows concerning it: One of the most beautiful equine specimens brought to Pasadena through the medium of the horse show came from Anaheim, Orange county where Hahn his owner resides. The animal is known to the admirers of horseflesh in Southern California by the name of "Splndor" and the name most appropriately fits the superb creature. Splendor is a three year old sorrel gelding. He is really a magnificent animal, fifteen and a half hands high, a beautiful golden color with flowing silvery mane and silver streaked face. Splendor is as intelligent as he is stately and handsome and he has attracted much attention here. He is a thoroughbred colt by Olinda Richmond, dam by Nutwood. While he has never been worked on the track and has no official record he is fleet of foot and as gentle as a domesticted maltese kitten. Frank Lewis, whose crooked transactions in buying horses have brought him into daily trouble, is in the county jail awaiting trial on a charge of obtaining property under false pretenses. The complaining witness is Roy Livering of Fullerton, who got a worthless draft in payment for three fine animals. Lewis is held in default of $1000 bonds. J. R. Williams and A. M. Goldie were in town Saturday from Buena Park. As showing the rise in land values in that neighborhood, Mr. Goldie stated that some time ago he purchased a tract of land for $60 per acre and when recently he attempted to buy an adjoining piece found the price had risen to $125. Mrs. George Nissia entertained the Fullerton Euchre club last Thursday afternoon at her home. She was assisted by Miss Pauline Kroeger and Miss Sophie Schindler. The house was beautifully decorated with roses and smilax; portieries between the two front rooms being made of streamers of smilax. Refreshments were served at five. The first prize was won by Mrs. Joe Goodman and the consolation by Mrs. S. Wisnant. A very enjoyable time was had by all. George Hatfield is home from San Francisco for a fortnight's furlough. George has been six months in the navy, has earned three honorable promotions and is now a seaman. He returns north the latter part of the month when he expects to go on the Oregon and go on a three year's cruise in Asiatic waters. Adolph Rimpau has added a new branch of industry in walnut production on his Center street property. He has grafted the soft shell walnut onto the stem of the wild nut, the result from which will produce a nut larger than the present grade of soffs with a shell of a white-yellowish color.

L.E.MILLER Mayor of the City of Anaheim Attest: George Hatfield is home from San Francisco for a fortnight's furlough. George has been six months in the navy, has earned three honorable promotions and is now a seaman. He returns north the latter part of the month when he expects to go on the Oregon and go on a three year's cruise in Asiatic waters. Adolph Rimpau has added a new branch of industry in walnut production on his Center street property. He has grafted the soft shell walnut onto the stem of the wild nut, the result from which will produce a nut larger than the present grade of softs with a shell of a white-yellowish color. Dolph gathers the nut in its wild state and plants them. When a stem of sufficient size is acquired the bud of the softshell is grafted. Last year the grafts were defective and the crop was a failure. This year Dolph has been most successful and has a stand of a couple of thousand or more. The business is a new venture and the trees will be raised for the market. Fritz Yungbluth went to Los Angeles a day or two ago having two suits of clothes for customers in that city. During March Fritz made nine suits of clothes for customers in the Angelic burg. Fred Schmidt has returned from Cajon Pass with his bridge building outfit and will be engaged for several weeks in constructing the Santa Fe bridge across the river south of town. Richard Melrose left yesterday for San Jose to attend a meeting of normal school directors from different sections of the state. He will be absent several days. Mrs. N. H. Mitchell of Pasadena while in town this week announced her purpose of erecting a brick building on her property east of the new Odd Fellows block. J. G.
