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 C 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 30, 1880 In looking over an old file of the Gazette the other day we came across the following paragraph which is credited to the Los Angeles Post, and is made the basis of an attack upon that paper by an irate correspondent: In Anaheim great joy prevails over the arrival of a real Polish Count and Countess, who intend to stay there for some time. We would advise our neighbors to keep a sharp eye upon this Count, that he may not as a good many of his standing have done, depart in Polish from among us. This distinguished personages above referred to were none other than Modjeska, the Countess Bozenta and her husband. Although the lady made a failure or her attempt to raise chickens for profit here, her ill luck did not follow her into her theatrical career. Mr. E. S. Saxton has three hundred vines of the Muscal, Flaming Tokay and Black Hamburg varieties. From these vines he this year gathered seven thousand pounds of grapes. The cause of this heavy yield is that his vines are staked, and this brings up the idea whether it would not pay to resort to staking more extensively. Six hundred and seventy vines per acre would. Mr. Saxton believes, be all that could be advantageously worked. These 670 vines would require 670 stakes at 7 cents apiece or $46.90 per acre. Four tons of grapes per acre is a good average for the vineyards as now planted, and whether an increase of the average to seven or eight tons to the acre would pay for the staking is a question which we leave to more experienced men to solve. One of the vines alluded to bore sixty pounds of muscat grapes. It is estimated that 270 votes will be polled at this precinct on Tuesday. Of this number political experts estimate that the Republicans will get 110, the Democrats 100, the Greenbackehs Mr. Saxton believes, be all that could be advantageously worked.

Of this number political experts estimate that the Republicans will get 110, the Democrats 100, the Greenbackehs 40 leaving 20 doubtful votes. Democrats, however, claim that they will poll forty votes more than the Republicans. Mr. J. Cohen, who for three years past has been a prominent merchant of Downey City, will remove to Santa Ana shortly and open at that place on Monday, with a full assortment of general merchandise. His store will be in Tichenal's block opposite the Santa Ana hotel. In Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota and other states the beautiful snow covers the ground and the balmy air is traveling at the rate of from 50 to 70 miles an hour. In Anaheim the average temperature for the week ending on Wednesday was 59 degrees. Dr. J. Campbell Shorb addressed a meeting of Democrats on Thursday night and Col. J. G. Howard was to talk to the Republicans last night. Stephen M. White Esq., and Theo Lynill Esq., addressed a meeting at Kroeger's hall on last Saturday evening. Governor Perkins has offered a reward of $500 for the arrest of Peter McKinney who murdered Wm. Cooper at San Fernando on the night of the 13th inst. The citizens of San Fernando offer an additional reward of $200. Mr. L. J. Rose of San Gabriel writes to a friend in Anaheim that he will not be a buver of wine this year, having himself made all the wine he can conveniently handle. Messrs. Goodman and Rimpau will receive today seven large cases of dress goods of the newest and most stylish patterns. The ladies should flock to the store this afternoon and examine the lot. As Mr. W.K. Robinson was returning from the Fair with his premium stock, five colts strayed away and were lost. A reward of $25 is offered for the recovery of the stock. That stalwart Democrat, Mr. M. B. Craig of Westminster was in town on Wednesday. His report at headquarters that the Democrats of that precinct were solid for Hancock awoke great enthusiasm.—At the recent Wilmington camp meeting one hundred and eleven persons professed, of whom sixty-five professed sanctification and forty-five conversion. The grape crop which, owing to the cool weather, has been long in maturing, has ripened very rapidly during the past week. In the early stages of the vintage some apprehension was expressed lest the proportion of saccharine matter in the grapes would fall below the quantity required for a perfect wine, but Mr. Langenberger tells us that the juice of his muscat grapes stood 106 in the must scale on Tuesday morning, which is much higher than Democrats of that precinct were solid for Hancock awoke great enthusiasm.—At the recent Wilmington camp meeting one hundred and eleven persons professed, of whom sixty-five professed sanctification and forty-five conversion.

This large proportion of saccharine in the must is good for the wine, but the process of fermentation is slow. Mr. Gordon of San Diego spent a couple of days in Anaheim during the week. Much has been said concerning the effect on San Diego of making the railroad terminus at National City, but Mr. Gordon says that the sympathy and concern expressed in some quarters is entirely needless. National City and San Diego are only three miles apart, and the track will run from the first named place along the shore to San Diego where all the principal offices of the railroad company will be erected, and the major part of the business done. He gladly concedes, however, that a town will spring up at National City, but adduces excellent reasons why there can never be any rivalry between the two localities. Mr. Gordon is also of the opinion that but a short time will elapse before the Anaheim branch of the S. P. R. R. will be continued on to the Bay city, and it is much more than likely that the first locomotive to enter San Diego will be on the S. P. track. The Santa Ana Valley Teachers association will meet in the east room (upstairs) of the Anaheim school building this (Saturday) afternoon at 1:30 p.m. All persons interested in educational matters are invited to attend. A gang of men who were threshing at San Luis Obispo recently were badly poisoned by the white weed. The effect of the dust from this weed upon the human system is similar to that of strychnine. The new great register of this county contains 8,608 names. A copy can be seen at the store of Goodman & Rimpau. The county taxes will be come delinquent at 6 o'clock p.m., on the 26th day of December. Three hundred and twenty acres of first class grain land are offered for rent by David Evey. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Records of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 2, 1905 C. C. Chapman has been making some record breaking orange sales in New York this week. A few days ago he sold boxes as high as $10.80. This is believed to be the top notch rate yet obtained for California oranges in the open market. At the recent meeting in the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce to hear discussions about the pathological laboratory, at which Gov. Pardee presided. Mr. Chapman speaking of Orange county, said, turning to the Riverside contingent: "And when it comes to oranges, if there is a county in the state that can beat us, we have not yet found it out." He had told them all about walnuts, celery, and all the rest of our products. Our neighbor is certainly a stemwinder. H. E. Huntington rode into Santa Ana in company of a party of electric railway officials one day last week, being conveyed in the first electric car to make the trip over the new line. Cars over the new route will begin running regularly on Monday next. The fare for the round trip between Santa Ana and Los Angeles will be $1, with the usual reductions on family commutation tickets. The steam railway price has been $2 for the round trip. It is reported in well informed circles that the railroads will shortly announce a cut in rates. The San Juan company filed suit this week against Frederick McNally and Harry B. Clow as executors of the will of Andrew McNally to recover title to a tract of land near the mission Vieja Rancho in San Juan Canyon. The value of the property involved is set at $30,000. It is asserted in the complaint that the McNally heirs have come by their deed through a mistake made several years ago and that in reality they should have merely a mortgage for $16,000. Pennies At Work In Savings Banks Thrifty Orange County Gets $65,340 Interest on Funds Deposited In Local Banks Thrifty California counties putting their pennies in the savings bank are earning more than three million dollars a year from their savings. This is revealed in a report just compiled by State Controller Ray L. Riley. One of the little-known sources of revenue by which the coffers of the state's 58 counties are annually increased, Riley said, is from interest receipts from bank deposits and invested funds. Last year an aggregate of $3,134,345.10 was placed to the credit of county accounts from this source alone. Of this amount, $2,924,223.74 represented interest on county funds placed on deposit in local banks, while $210,-121.66 was received in interest from cash investments. Orange county's interest receipts for the annual period, Riley's report showed, were $65,340. Los Angeles, largest county in California, collected more than half the amount received by all the counties of the state, or $1,728,953.42. The larger part of this amount, or $1,686,453.43, came from current bank deposits. San Francisco's interest collections totaled $681,776.25, while Alameda county's receipts were $180,149.57. The smallest amount collected by any county in interest was $561.10, by Trinity county. Alpine, the smallest county of the state in point of population, was credited with a total of $1,481.71 in interest on county funds placed on deposit during the year.

The annual convention of Grand Army veterans of Orange county held on Tuesday at Orange resulted in the choice of the following officers for th ecoming year: President, Dr. William Freeman of Fullerton; first vice-president, D. M. Robinson of Tustin; second, S. Armor of Orange; third, G. M. Stanton of Santa Ana; treasurer, Cap. J. H. Hall, of Santa Ana; adjutant, A. B. Paul of Santa Ana; chaplain, Rev. Mr. Markel of Anaheim. Harry Hanna came down from Los Angeles to spend a few days on the farm at Miraflores. Harry wrote Gov. Pardee about the advantages offered by Orange county for a pathological laboratory and experiment station, being an old-time friend of the governor, and has received in reply a very courteous communication from the chief executive. Harry used to play ball with the governor thirty years ago in Alameda county. A Nagle has returned from a visit to Calexico, whither he went in company of A. S. Bradford of Placentia, J. C. Sheppard and Doc Clark of Fullerton. He reports the country a rich section, with an abundance of water, but high freight rates to shippers. The party invested in property there and will go in for alfalfa and hops. Boyd and Weisel this week shipped out the first carload of new crop walnuts. The nuts were from different orchards in this neighborhood, and were large and fine eating. The price of nuts outside the association has fallen a cent, owing to the lateness of the crop. Ex-Gov. Henry T. Gage of Los Angeles was in town yesterday for a brief business visit. The governor has many old-time friends here who were glad to again have the pleasure of meeting him. His stay was brief. He arrived on the 10 o'clock Southern Pacific train and departed at 11 o'clock. S. O. Walker was in town from Bunea Park on Saturday. He is interested in a new townsite on the Pacific electric road called Cypress, which has already taken on the activity of a cross road metropolis. W.H.

CALIFORNIA PIONEER DIES James Andrew Johnston, for 40 years a resident of California, was buried Monday morning from the Hillgenfeld funeral home in Anaheim. Mr. Johnston was 74 years old and had lived in and near Brea for the last twelve years. Death followed from ill health of several months. He had made his home with Mrs. R. E. Glazier, daughter, at Brea. He is survived by four other daughters, Mrs. Grace L., Mae, city clerk of Brea, Mrs. J. L. Galbreth, also of Brea; Mrs. Fred Stone, of Superior, Neb., and Mrs. Sadle Jones, of South Dakota. He also left a son, Albert L. Johnston, of Venezuela, South America. WHEN FOOD SOURS ABOUT two hours after eating many people suffer from sour stomachs. They call it indigestion. It means that the stomach nerves have been over-stimulated. There is excess acid. The way to correct it is with an alkali, which neutralizes many times its volume in acid. The right way is Phillips Milk of Magnesia—just a tasteless dose in water. It is pleasant, efficient and harmless. Results come almost instantly. It is the approved method. You will never use another when you know. Be sure to get the genuine Phillips Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for correcting excess acids. 25c and 50c a bottle—any drugstore.
