IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 11, 1880 It is not yet positively known whether President Hayes will visit Los Angeles, but the citizens have made sure, that in the event of his coming he will be accorded a reception in keeping with his exalted office. A meeting has been held and committees appointed to extend an invitation to the President and his party to visit Los Angeles and to make arrangements for his reception. The Board of Supervisors have been requested to cooperate. Would it not be the proper thing for the citizens of Anaheim to invite the President to pay this town a brief visit. The railroad company will undoubtedly put a special train at the President's service, and he would doubtless consent to take a run down here if invited. A correspondent writing from San Juan Hot Springs on the 2nd inst says that, on the previous night a small hill or mound near the springs burst, discharging a large amount of mud which flowed down the hillside. The hill was about 25 feet high on the lower side of the slope on which it stood and half as high on the upper side, and was entirely dry and dusty all over its surface. The volume of mud as it now lies on the slope is 150 feet in length by ten to fifteen feet wide, and one foot deep. It is of a bluish-gray color and of the consistancy of a perfect jelly. If you strike the mass slightly it will quiver for several feet around. The eruption made but little noise as none of the campers heard it, but some thought they felt a slight earthquake. The next morning a long pole was inserted into the mud but no bottom could be reached. One hundred and four precincts in San Francisco give for the adoption of the Charter 3,099, against adoption, 14,474. Less than six thousand votes remain to be counted. The majority against adoption is beyond all expectations. The total vote of the city was 23,122. Theo Wagner, the U.S. Surveyor General of California, has given notice that he will be at Santa Ana on Monday, October The eruption made but little noise as none of the campers heard it, but some thought they felt a slight earthquake. The next morning a long pole was inserted into the mud but no bottom could be reached. One hundred and four precincts in San Francisco give for the adoption of the Charter 3,099, against adoption, 14,474. Less than six thousand votes remain to be counted. The majority against adoption is beyond all expectations. The total vote of the city was 23,122. Theo Wagner, the U. S. Surveyor General of California, has given notice that he will be at Santa Ana on Monday, October 11th to take testimony to prove the location and course of the Santa Ana River in the year 1801, and to show the changes that have since taken place therein, and so describe and designate such location, course and changes as to show their relation to the lines of the official survey of the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, also proof to show the character of the inlet at the southeastern part of said rancho, as to being tide water etc. The directors of the orphans home in Los Angeles have appointed Miss Martha McCoy, of Westminster, a sister of Dr. McCoy, as teacher at the home. It will be opened on Monday. The appointment of Miss McCoy gives the utmost satisfaction to all friends of the Home, as she is a lady qualified in every respect for the responsible and arduous position. At a meeting of the members of the Presbyterian church on Thursday afternoon, Mr. D. E. Miles was re-elected as Trustee. Action upon a proposal to give a call to Rev. Mr. Packard was postponed until after the morning service tomorrow, when the subject will come up for discussion. Mr. C. B. Polhemus, one of the owners of the Stearns Ranchos spent a couple of days in town during the early part of the week. He was accompanied by Moses Y. Hopkins and several other gentlemen and ladies. A bugologist would grow quite enthusiastic over the two large tarantulas captured on the San Joaquin by Mr. C. E. Leonard a few days ago. They are above the average size and look as hairy and handsome as tarantulas generally do. Jacob Ross, the proprietor of the Santa Ana Times, has purchased the Santa Ana Herald. He will discontinue the publication of the Times and will enlarge the Herald. It will hereafter be a Democratic paper. Mr. H. N. Short will be editor. Mr. W. S. Wright and family left for the east a few days ago and as many of his friends feared, the fatigue of the trip proved fatal to him. He died on the train before reaching Omaha, although he had the medical care of two physicians who were fellow-passengers. The Health officer reports 23 births—11 males and 12 females—in Los Angeles for the month of August. During the same period there were 16 deaths—5 males and 11 females. The Spiritualists of Los Angeles have under consideration the advisability of forming a spiritual society. A committee has been appointed to secure a hall in which to hold regular meetings.

The Spiritualists of Los Angeles have under consideration the advisability of forming a spiritual society. A committee has been appointed to secure a hall in which to hold regular meetings. The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company is going to utilize the numerous almost natural reservoirs on the line of their ditch. A surveyor is now in the field locating the reservoirs. Robt. W. Scott, Esq., received a letter the other day conveying the sad intelligence of the death of his father near Houston, Texas. The deceased gentleman was over 79 years of age. We learn by note from Mr. Darling that the rate on corn, barley, wheat and oats from Anaheim to San Francisco via Wilmington has been reduced to $4 per ton in lots of ten tons or more. Mr. Theodore Reiser has sent in his resignation as Director of the Anaheim Water company. The vacancy in the Board will probably be filled at a meeting of the directors today. The Westminster Presbyterian social will be held in the hall on Friday evening, Sept. 14th. Ice cream and other refreshments will be served during the evening. A cordial invitation is extended to all. The young son of Mr. George Hinde who sustained the severe accident mentioned in the Gazette last week died from the effect of his injuries. Rev. J. W. Ellis, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Los Angeles is expected to preach tomorrow evening at 7:30 o'clock in the Presbyterian church. Mr. G. H. Kellogg left for San Francisco a few days ago. He intends to engage in business in that city. Rev. A. G. L. Trew of San Gabriel was in town Thursday but had time to give his friends a hurried greeting. It is said that there is a probability of several vessels being loaded with wheat at Wilmington for Europe. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 14, 1905 Los Angeles voted almost unanimously in favor of issuing $1,500,000 bonds for the purchase of water rights at Owens river. Another election will be called to vote $23,000,000 to bring the water from the river to the city. The conduit will be 240 miles in length, its construction being one of the largest engineering feats ever attempted by an American city. Los Angeles is noted for the accomplishment of big things, and it will doubtless carry the latest enterprise to a successful completion. It owns 30,000 inches of water in the Owens river valley and with this piped to the city, the municipality will have an abundance of domestic purposes as well as a volume for irrigation which will cover thousands of acres adjacent to the city. Discussing the propriety of installing municipal gas works to be operated in conjunction with the electric light and water plant the city trustees at a special meeting on Monday evening arrived at an affirmative decision in the premises and voted to include $15,000 for such purpose in the contemplated bond issue. This will make a total of $69,000 to be voted upon. The city's indebtedness at the present time is $26,000. Trustees Rust, Schwenckert and Fletcher were present. Engineer Lewis of the power house, Engineer Copeland of Los Angeles and City Attorney Melrose were also in attendance. Sunday all roads will lead to Columbia Garden, where the Turners will entertain their friends at exercises of joyous festivities. A special train will arrive from Los Angeles in the morning laden with members of the order from that city. In the afternoon there will be athletic exercises and in the evening a concert at the opera house. The Anaheim brass band, under the Leadership of Walter Crowther will discourse music for the occasion and a way-up time is anticipated. Widening of Lemon street occupied the attention of the Riverside Fair This Month An innovation that will stimulate greater interest than ever before in the Sweetheart Contest at the 18th annual Southern California Fair at Riverside, September 23rd to 28th has just been announced by fair officials. The first girl to enter the contest has been assigned the task of planting a young orange tree, which will later be officially dedicated by the winning "Sweetheart." The object of the planting, according to Mrs. Cecella G. Craven, secretary, is to commemorate, in a measure, the fact that Riverside is the home of the first navel orange tree, but principally to provide orange blossoms for the anticipated weddings of all sweethearts in the contest. Although it is expected that several years will necessarily elapse before "Sweetheart grove" can supply ample blossoms for the many nuptial events, arrangements have been made to temporarily provide the sweet-scented flowers from other sources. In spite of the fact that numerous other novel contests and entertainment features are on the program, chief interest of fair visitors will undoubtedly be held by the agricultural and live stock exhibits. Farm and orchard produce entries are pouring in from some of the west's richest farm lands and already the live stock show has been given the stimulus of receiving four entries of national prominence—all prize winners in various shows around the country. A mammoth Air Show, headed by a fleet of pursuit, combat and other types of military planes from March Field, will provide plenty of excitement during the daytime and every evening "The Winter Garden Revue," brought direct from New York City for the fair, will delight the throngs who love good music, dancing and variety acts. The Educational Division of the exhibits, which is expected to be little short of sensational this year, will feature an interesting idea in the exhibits of more than a score of schools from surrounding communities. Each school will take a single dominant theme which will be graphically carried out Sunday all roads will lead to Columbia Garden, where the Turners will entertain their friends at exercises of joyous festivities. A special train will arrive from Los Angeles in the morning laden with members of the order from that city. In the afternoon there will be athletic exercises and in the evening a concert at the opera house. The Anaheim brass band, under the Leadership of Walter Crowther will discourse music for the occasion and a way-up time is anticipated. Widening of Lemon street occupied the attention of the city trustees on Tuesday evening. The Board resolved to widen the thoroughfare 6½ feet on its south side, extending from Cehler to Santa Ana streets. Several property owners have agreed to deed ground for this purpose, and those who refuse will be proceeded against by condemnation proceedings. New water mains were ordered laid in side streets in the Santa Fe tract. Dr. McFarland was granted permission to erect a two-story horse infirmary on Lemon street corner of Oak. Trustees Rust, Fletcher, Darling, Schwenckert and Berdrow were present. Frank Dyer admits himself to be one of the few sports who acknowledge themselves surprised at the outcome of the Nelson-Britt mill. Frank is an authority on sporting events, and while lathering a customer can enlighten him upon the history of every bug this side of Kalamazoo. He picked Britt for a winner, but since the affair at Colma he says nothing and vows he will never make another scrap prediction. Mrs. A. V. Smith died at her home in Fullerton on Sunday of consumption. Deceased was a daughter of Joseph Clark of Brookshurst and was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends. She leaves a husband and three young children. A couple of chicken thieves entered Sherman Hayden's yard at Broad and Los Angeles streets on Tuesday night and stole two dozen White Leghorn hens. The tracks of the thieves led from the premises to the roadside when a two-horse spring wagon had been driven and stopped. Mr. Hayden has been doing a little detective work on the case and has a good line on the guilty lines and will swear out a warrant for their arrest. D. J. Mauerhan is shipping 150 crates of green chile peppers to market weekly. They go to Los Angeles where they are canned. The crop he places at about half of last years output, owing to cool and cloudy weather. The bushes seem to be large and healthful, but the chiles are not so numerous as in past years. Individual specimens are large and of fine flavor. The smaller ones will be ground into pepper later in the season. The weather has been warming up a lot the past day or two. Weather sharps predict another warm spell during the course of the coming week before the thermometer lowers into its usual run of delightful October weather. Max Nebelung entertained a select coterie of his friends at cards at his residence on Saturday evening. Refreshments were served. Among those present were Frank Shanley, Fritz Ruhman, J. H. Brunworth, Wm. Kretchmer, Wm. Klansing. The weather has been warming up a lot the past day or two.

Office of Cooperative Extension Work. 23rd Grape Day Grape growers of California are drawing the attention of the state this year in an effort to put the grape industry on a paying basis through federal aid but grape production in its highest degree of excellence comes to light in the 23rd annual celebration of Grape Day at Escondido on September 9, which is also Admission Day, a state holiday. It is not that Escondido boasts more about her grapes than other crops, but the annual celebration is a continuation of an observance of the harvest of the vine which has come down through the years from the time when grapes were the most noted product of this valley. Lemons, oranges, poultry, and eggs, dairy products and winter vegetables all lead grapes, many times over, in the value of their production in Escondido, but Grape Day is a sweet memory in Southern California and cannot be lightly cast aside. It should be remembered that second only to the Tournament of Roses at Pasadena, Escondido Grape Day is the oldest stated public celebration in California. Escondido plans a fine Grape Day this year. The new census shows that the city has grown 22.8 percent in population and the township nearly as much. Products this year are of the finest. The citrus interests have produced and marketed as never before. Other interests stand well up in the scale of activity. All of these conditions presage an unusually fine celebration on September 9, and it is the hope of President W. N. Bradbury, of the Grape Day association, that last year's attendance of 20,000 will be exceeded this year. As in years past, many tons of fine grapes will be given away; a nice lot to each and every visitor; and the whole world is invited. There will be something doing every minute from morning parade to night entertainment and dances.
