IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a C Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JULY 10, 1880 Extract from correspondence of the "Resources of California" —This good and very prosperous German colony and pretty business town lies on the branch railroad to Santa Ana, 27 miles from Los Angeles in a sandy region. The land was considered worthless until this German colony took up the tract, laid it out in 20 acre lots, set out each lot with vines, fruit trees, etc., cultivated it in common for three years, when they cast lots for the property, each one getting their share, since which time it has grown into the most prosperous colony in California. These settlers are now rich, and have not only built up a pretty business town, but one of the finest settlements in this section. Anaheim has been incorporated, and the progress of the town has been very creditable. This is one of the most prosperous and successful of all the colonies in the state, and was commenced in 1857 by fifty industrious Germans who made vineyards their specialty and have converted a heretofore worthless cactus patch into the most productive vineyards in California, the result of persevering industry and the fertilizing mud of the Santa Ana river. Anaheim is the second town in Los Angeles county and now contains about 2000 people. Land is rich near Anaheim and the price not very high. We found one good hotel, restaurant, one dry goods store, seven dry goods and grocery stores, two livery stables, etc. Anaheim boasts of her public schools and has erected a new four-class school building at a cost of $13,000. Four teachers are now employed at salaries of $100, $75, $65, and $60; number of school census children 340; number in attendance 220. We saw much to admire in the fields, yards and gardens in this beautiful place. The Presbyterians have a good church here and the Episcopalians have built a nice church since our last visit to Anaheim costing $4,000. About 8 o'clock on Thursday evening Mr. Chas. Wagner left town for his home about four miles distant. He was driving his two horse team the wagon being heavily loaded with bricks, a bale of tobacco and sundry small articles. Yesterday morning his dead her public schools and has erected a new four-class school building at a cost of $13,000.

The Presbyterians have a good church here and the Episcopalians have built a nice church since our last visit to Anaheim costing $4,000. About 8 o'clock on Thursday evening Mr. Chas. Wagner left town for his home about four miles distant. He was driving his two horse team the wagon being heavily loaded with bricks, a bale of tobacco and sundry small articles. Yesterday morning his dead body was found in the road midway between the Meyerholz and Cohen places. The body was at once removed to the town residence of J. K. Tuffree. A coroners jury was summoned and after listening to testimony of Diedrich Hetebrink, Herman Meyerholz, Jacob Walker and Edward Newham who found the body, Dr. Geo. H. Bailey, who made a post mortem examination of the body was sworn and his evidence was corroborated by Dr. J. S. Gardiner. The physicians declared that there was no evidence of foul play and death was purely accidental. Wagner had evidently fallen from his seat, the wagon wheels passing over him. The horses and wagon were found a few hundred yards distant where the horses had patiently stood through the long night. Mr. Wagner was held in the highest esteem by all and his untimely death has cast a gloom over the whole town. He leaves a widow and four children. The Board of town trustees met in regular session on Wednesday. The ordinance committee was instructed to prepare an ordinance fixing water rates an amendment to Ordinance No. 12 was adopted relating to digging of ditches across any street, highway or common of the town of Anaheim. Such ditch shall be made so that it will present no obstruction to travelers on said streets, highways or commons, and any person who may make such ditch must, after using same immediately fill it up to the level of the street. For any violation of this section, those found guilty shall be fined in a sum, not exceeding five dollars for each and every offence. The amendment of the dog ordinance, which provided for the exemption from license of all dogs kept fastened upon the premises of the owner, was rejected. The marshal, therefore, must enforce the dog ordinance, which provides that a tax of two dollars be levied upon every dog owned or kept in Anaheim. The Board adjourned to meet as a Board of Equalization on July 27th, 28th, and 29th, between the hours of 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. From returns received from Mr. Haverstick, supervisor of census, up to last evening, the population of Los Angeles county foots up to 33,029. The districts yet to be heard from will probably bring the total up to 34,000. The returns thus far received from the Fourth Congressional district exclusive of Santa Clara and San Mateo counties show a population of 144,986 with Mono county entire and portions of Fresno and Kern counties and outlying districts in other counties to hear from. The indications are that the population, excluding the counties of Santa Clara and San Mateo will exceed 150,000, which will entitle Southern California proper to one member of Congress under the new apportionment.

Visitors can be assured that they will be handsomely treated and that the provender will be unlimited as to quality and nonpariel as to quality. B. F. Porter of San Fernando has an 80 acre field of Odessa wheat. He told an Express reporter that it was in better form than Senora wheat planted at the same time. He confesses to one mistake in sowing it—he used 25 lbs. of seed to the acre altogether to much. As 45 lbs. of seed of other varieties is the average amount sowed to the acre, the difference in favor of Odessa is very noticeable. The Riverside Press says that the citrus trees in that section are making very little growth, although the deciduous trees and vines are doing very well. They lay lack of growth to the cold nights and foggy mornings, but this will not do, for in the coast valleys this weather, only more so, is the rule, yet the trees grow thriftily. The fruit is also in many instances dropping from the trees without any apparent cause. In some cases the orange crop in consequence of this will be very light; although the shedding of fruit is not universal. Lemon trees have but little fruit while limes have next to none. It is quite evident that the cold winter is responsible for much of this mischief as there appears to be no other apparent cause. The following are the newly elected officers of Orpheus Lodge I. O. O. F.—H. A. Boege, N. G.; M. Oefinger, V. G.; R. Menzel, R. S. and P. S.; D. Strodthoff, treasurer. B. F. Seibert returned on Tuesday from his visit to Globe A. T. Work is very plentiful in that portion of the territory and there are no idlers except those who choose to remain so. The population of Anaheim township is 1468, and the population of the town of Anaheim is 813. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago.

Compilation and exchange of commercial information to assist and develop inter-American trade. 2. Arbitration of commercial disagreements. 3. Transportation of merchandise and passengers. 4. Terminal facilities. 5. Exchange of communications by ship, airplane, cable, wireless and telephone. 6. Reciprocity in trade. 7. Customs regulations. 8. Quarantine regulations. 9. Pure Food laws. 10.

The dog followed him down town and on returning home was soon found to be in convulsions. Mr. Nebelung valued the animal at $25. Yesterday the weather continued foggy, the sun having been obscured continuously since Sunday. Oldest inhabitants said it was the first time in their recollection that such dense overhead fog continued for such a length of time at this season of the year. A very pleasant surprise was given Miss Florence Hansen by the Misses Kee and Stone, the two other members of "The Jolly Three Club" of Buena Park, the occasion being Miss Hansen's birthday.

Many Fined For Overloading Causualties in the "war" declared some weeks ago by the California Highway Patrol against drivers of overloaded trucks have amounted to 948 within the last sixty days, this number having been arrested during the period for violation of loading provisions of the law. The campaign was inaugurated by the patrol at the suggestion of Governor C. C. Young who is extremely desirious of seeing that the highways of the state built at the cost of millions, are protected against trucks loaded beyond the legal limit. Indicative of the unusual activity in this regard, Inspector-at-large Andrew J. Ford announced arrests for overloaded trucks during April and May were nearly 100 per cent in excess of the same period for 1929. A total of 2,314 trucks were stopped Mother!

Bastanchury is installing a pumping plant on his ranch north of here. The plant will be one of the largest in the valley, and the water will be used to irrigate his 5000 acre tract. Rev. and Mrs. Markle drove to Huntington Beach on the Fourth. They started for the Landing but missed their way at the crossroads, and upon Mrs. Markle's suggestion followed the crowd and drew up at the new beach resort. A very pleasant day was spent. The Orange Union high school district comprising the school districts of Orange, Olive, El Modena and Villa Park has completed the erection of a $32,000 school building at Orange, one of the finest in the county. School trustees have elected J. H. Enearl, president and Wm. Schumacher, secretary. Bowman Merritt and Willie Wallop drove to Laguna a day or two ago with their best girls.

Of these 1,225 were warned but allowed to proceed. Loans were checked by means of portable scales or "loadometers." On hundreds of occasions drivers caught with overloaded trucks were compelled to take off a portion of the load at once before proceeding. Ford said the courts throughout the state were showing a disposition to deal somewhat sternly with persons who damage the highways with overloads. In one case in Santa Barbara County during May a fine of $300 was assessed an habitual violator. A WARNING All parties who are looking forward to an outing or camping trip in the mountains over the fourth of July will take the necessary precautions to leave their fire works at home. Under the state and county laws the use of fire works will not be allowed on any brush or grass covered land. State and Federal officers will be on duty during the fourth of July period and this law be strictly enforced. It is hoped that all people going into the mountains for an outing during this period will take all precautions in helping to prevent forest fires. Scientist say that the year on that newly discovered planet is 3,200 times as long as it is on earth. Wonder how long the average honeymoon lasts?
