IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and C 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK NOVEMBER 6, 1880 A Mexican who some years ago worked for Mr. Theo Rimpau, but has been in Lower California for the past few years, returned here a few days ago. He has been one year in coming from La Paz to Anaheim. His horses, poor when the journey began, gradually gave out, and as the barren country traversed gave scarcely any sustenance to the starved animals, their progress was slow and frequent long rests were necessary. The Mexican tells a strange story in regard to that part of Mexico in which he has been living. He says that in the past seven years there has been nothing like a general rainfall. What rain has fallen has been confined to limited areas, and whenever inhabitants of the country get news that it has rained at a certain place, they would pack up their household goods and begin a pilgrimage to the green pastures until advised of a rainfall in some other part of the country. He says that the principal occupation of the people living along the sea coast is the gathering of orchilla, a kind of moss which grows upon the trees and shrubbery near the sea coast and which is sent to San Francisco in bales. It is used for dyeing purposes, and brings $35 per ton. Every effort is being made to produce the Cantata of the Flower Queen about the middle of the month. Nearly forty young ladies have consented to take part in it and Miss Nicholson, a fine musician, recently from Philadelphia, has assumed charge of the musical department, while Mrs. Des Granges has kindly offered to play the accompaniment. Much interest is being shown in the surrounding towns, and by special request a moonlight night has been selected for the entertainment. We venture to predict a full house and a brilliant success. Mr. P. Pellegrin can fairly lay claim to having produced from his orchard the largest fig of which mention has yet been made. It is eight and three quarter inches in circumference—or three Mr. P. Pellegrin can fairly lay claim to having produced from his orchard the largest fig of which mention has yet been made. It is eight and three quarter inches in circumference—or three quarters of an inch larger than the one mentioned a week or so ago by our neighbor of the Santa Ana Herald. The fig weighs 5½ ounces. The combined weight of eight figs from the same tree was two and a half pounds. As the Anaheim train was passing Florence on Sunday morning a broken rail caused five of the cars to jump the track. The passenger car was only kept from turning over by a friendly telegraph pole upon which it leaned. The passengers had a scare and a shake-up but none were injured. The track was blockaded the entire day by the wreck. The Los Angeles Herald of last Sunday morning said: A feature of last night's processions was the number of bankers in line, carrying torches on one side or the other. In the Democratic demonstration Mr. I. W. Hellman trotted along with his torch while Messrs. Slauson and Spence figured in the Republican pageant. As a matter of fact, there was scarcely a man of property or standing in the community who was not in one procession or the other. Even age seemed no disbarment. Dr. Griffin trotted along blithly in the Democratic turnout while Don Juan Warner cast his corn to the wind and swelled the Republican crowd. Talking about large crops—Mr. W. J. Hill of Centralia harvested 41 bushels of Odessa wheat to the acre. The same gentleman has a field of corn which good judges say will yield 100 bushels to the acre. Mr. Schwein on Coyote creek will get about 100 bushels of corn to the acre. The Rev. Wm. H. Hill of Los Angeles will hold services at the Episcopal church tomorrow (Sunday). Morning service and sermon at half paast seven. All are cordially invited to attend. Mrs. Lizzie Miller of Walnut Grove, Sacramento county, says that she sold her ten acres of Odessa wheat, before it was harvested for $550, the purchaser paying the cost of harvesting the crop. Her experience is that it is absolutely rust proof. Mr. Abraham Dreyfus, brother of Mr. Ben Dreyfus arrived in Anaheim a few days ago from Mazatlan, Mexico, where he has been in business for many years. He will remain here for some time to recruit his health, and may decide to locate here permanently. It is customary upon the death of a soldier to fire a salute over his grave. That service was performed over the political cadaver of Hancock by the Messrs. White and Mitchell on Wednesday afternoon upon receipt of the news from New York.

It is said that Mr. Burdoff’s vineyard yielded between five and six tons of grapes per acre. This vineyard has never been irrigated and always yields a bumper crop. We take the following extracts from a letter just received from Harry Hanna, who has been in Phoenix A. T. for some time past: Phoenix is a town of about 2000 inhabitants, the county seat of Maricopa county, and is situated near the center of Salt river valley, three miles north of the Salt river and twenty-eight miles north of Maricopa the nearest railroad from the Salt river, from which almost unlimited quantities could be obtained by a proper system of ditches and canals. The climate of Phoenix has been very similar to that of Anaheim since about the first of September—cool, pleasant nights and not unpleasantly warm days. Thunder showers come once in awhile to cool things off and lay the dust. Phoenix is the supply point for a large number of mining camps and does a good business in mining supplies. In going down the principal street two blocks we pass nine saloons all doing a good business. In the way of amusements there is a faro and bank and a mote game when we wish to indulge in that costly amusement. Its votaries flock around as soon as night falls—and it is usually the liveliest place in town. The result of the election at the present time seems to be that Hancock has carried the solid South California, New Jersey and Nevada. This gives him 156 votes, 29 less than the required number. Later—Garfield received 214 electoral votes and Hancock 155. There are packages in Wells Fargo & Co.’s office for Miss Ash Des Granges, J. H. Steinhart and Mrs. Konig. The receipts of the late Fair were nearly $4000. The secretary says that the management will not only pay all the expenses incurred this year and the deficits of last year but will pay off some of the mortgage debt. 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 9, 1905 T. A. Darling, for thirty-three years agent for the Southern Pacific, has been relieved of his office and succeeded by C. W. Pendleton, who for several months has been acting as assistant agent here and at Loara station. Charles Darling has been relieved of his position as agent at Loara and is succeeded by C. H. Kemp. H. H. Macculley has arrived here from Los Angeles and will act as assistant to Mr. Pendleton. The changes here and at Loara were made as a result of the visit of Traveling Auditor C. W. Beegle, who was here several days last week. It is announced that all arrearages have been made good to the company. Mr. Darling is one of the best known railroad men in Southern California. He is a member of the board of city trustees and has long taken an active interest in public affairs. Whether he will again re-enter the railway service is not known at the present writing. A tramp entered the paint shop of L. Nemetz on Saturday morning and in the absence of the proprietor stole a carpenter's saw. He later appeared at the Nemetz home, two blocks distant begging for his breakfast. Mrs. Nemetz kindly furnished him with a meal. The hobo was enjoying the repast when Mr. Nemetz entered and recovered his saw. He asked the hobo how he came in possession of the implement and when the latter attempted to equivocate. Nemetz administered the solar plexis and put him out for the count. A debate between Anaheim high school and Los Angeles Polytechnic will be held at Music Hall on Friday evening of this week. The subject, Resolved, "That the Federal Government Should Own the Railroads Operating in the United States." The high school takes the negative. Its debaters are Bernice Tipton and Max Carmichael. An admission fee of 15 cents will be charged to cover expenses and 100 reserved seats are on sale at McCol- Farmers Real Business Year Starts in October October is the best time of the year for farmers to plan in detail for next year's work, according to a statement recently made by Willard E. Shepherd, of the Shepard Tractor & Equipment Co., distributors of "Caterpillar" tractors in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties. "Every good farmer is also a business man, said Shepherd, "and successful business men always make it a point to take account of stock at least once a year and to lay out a plan of campaign for the coming year. Merchants usually do this about the first of the year. But to the farmer the logical time for taking stock and for planning for the future is the month of October. By this time a large proportion of the yearly crops have been harvested and marketed and preparations for next year's crops are in order. In looking ahead into the future, every farmer is naturally interested in improving his crops and increasing his profits. This implies not only an effort to increase the yield of his land, but also to reduce the costs of production as much as possible. In both of these important matters the selection of a tractor plays an important part. It has been demonstrated that a tractor which is designed in such a way that it will not pack the land will help materially to increase both the quantity and quality of the crops raised on that land. When it comes to cutting costs, the tractor again occupies a very important position. The best way to eliminate waste is to use a tractor which is so sure-footed that it will not use up fuel and time needlessly on slippage. The selection of tractors which are known to be economical to operate and to be exceptionally sturdy and long-lived will also aid materially in reducing costs to the minimum." PRESSURE ON NON-VOTERS The Rev. W. O. Trueblood, of Whittier—I doubt very much if a compulsory law requiring men to go to the polls and vote on election days would have the desired result. In my opinion, about the only way to get men ex- A debate between Anaheim high school and Los Angeles Polytechnic will be held at Music Hall on Friday evening of this week.

An admission fee of 15 cents will be charged to cover expenses and 100 reserved seats are on sale at McColm's at 25 cents. The chili pepper crop is now being marketed. There is an active demand in Los Angeles for the Anaheim and Yorba crop. Juvers offering from 14 to 15 cents per pound net for it. The first carload has been moved out over the Santa Fe at 14 cents, which gives the growers a good profit. Judge Welborn in the United States circuit court in Los Angeles on Tuesday decided against the Dustless Roads company in its efforts to set up patent rights to the oiling of streets by California municipalities. The case was one of great interest and attracted attention throughout Southern California. Had the company won, each city using oil upon its streets would have had California municipalities. The case was one of great interest and importance and millions depended upon the result. Many attorneys were engaged upon the suit, which was stubbornly fought by both sides. Harrison Kuebler found a $5 gold piece is a tin can placed upon a beam under the residence of the late Mrs. Metz while moving the ancient structure a few days ago to make room for a new brick building. The money had been placed there for safe keeping, access being had though the cellar. A crowd of bystanders watched the moving of the building as it was said that at one time its owner kept a large amount of money secreted about the premises. A solitary gold piece was the extent of the find. It was turned over to the present owner of the building N. Hart. J. B. Neff, the new conductor of farmers institutes in Southern California, has sent out preliminary notices of the coming sessions of farmers institutes to be held in Southern California, of which twenty-five will be held before July 1st next. At least three institutes will be held in each of the seven southern counties, and each will be attended by several experts from the University of California. Among them will probably be Prof. Wickson, who has a national reputation as one of the foremost agricultural experts in the United States. Yesterday the sun appeared for the first time since Sunday. Three and a half inches of rain fell during the storm, being the heaviest precipitation in years at this time of the year. Mrs. John W. Hart of Los Angelels has been in town this week, superintending the shipment of walnuts from her orchard, she ships independently of the association and receives 121½ cents.

Wis., has taken a position at Bird Beebe's implement emporium. Mr. Smith is accompanied by his family and has rented the Bickford residence on Philadelphia street. Misses Olga and Pauline Kuenzli of Milwaukee, nieces of H. Gade, arrived this week to remain during the winter. Crocket Bowers was over from Santa Ana the fore part of the week looking over the lumber situation. Louis and Henry Kroeger are recovering from a severe attack of mumps. Boyd and Weisel have shipped three carloads of new crop walnuts. The rain put a temporary stop to shipments early in the week. Misses Grace and Violet Allen have returned from Oregon and British Columbia where they have been visiting with relatives. William Kroeger, John Hetebrink and other Placentia farmers are reaping large returns from their tomato crops. They ship to Los Angeles and receive $40 per ton. Fitz Martin is again on deck after a week's illness at home with la gripe. Charley Bauer who was taken suddenly ill while in town one day last week, was taken to the residence of Mr. Deakin on Olive street where he has since been under the care of Dr. Johnston. Last reports are that he is recovering. Dr. W. W. Adams has returned from Oxnard after an absence of several months and will again take up practice of Osteopathy in this city.
