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 NOVEMBER 13, 1880 A gentleman from South Africa has been inspecting the country in the vicinity of Anaheim the past few days with a view to the purchase of a large tract of land to be used as an ostrich farm—a novel industry for this country. He says there is an immense profit in the breeding of ostriches—a profit which would he much greater here than in Africa, as everything used on a farm of this kind is much cheaper here than there. Corn, which must be fed to the breeding birds, costs the South African farmer 56 shillings ($14.) per cwt. Alfalfa, another item which the birds require is difficult to obtain regularly in South Africa owing to lack of water, is abundant here. The business of ostrich farming on a large scale requires considerable capital. The average price for young birds, guaranteed to be breeders is £300 a pair, single cocks are worth £75 to £100 and single hens from 30 pounds to 50 pounds. We hope to see the business established in this section. There can be no question as to the profits of the enterprise if undertaken by some one with experience. Dr. Ellis has received a letter from Dr. Fergusson saying in effect that he (Dr. F.) had left New York via Panama for Anaheim and would be here in about sixteen days. It will be gratifying to the Doctor's friends to know that he has yielded to the oft expressed wishes of the married ladies of Anaheim by getting married himself, Benedict and Beatrice now are happily united, which circumstance shows a commenable willingness on the part of the young Doctor to do as his friends wish. A most desirable trait in a young settler. The locomotive ran off the track on Wednesday morning while switching into A. Guy Smith & Co.'s lumber yard. A locomotive came from Los Angeles and assisted the disabled engine to get on the track again, which feat was accomplished by a little after noon of the same day.

The prevalence of smallpox in San Francisco has improved the authorities in Los Angeles with the necessity of attending to the sanitary condition of that city. The health officer and police have been examining back yards during the week and ordering the abatement of nuisances, such proceedings might well be initiated every once in a while, even when there is no palpable danger of an epidemic of desease, and the health of every community would be improved by a rigid regard to cleanliness. The Messrs. Evey have already seeded one hundred acres of their farm with wheat and expect to have an additional 130 acres seeded before the winter rains begin. They believe this to be the proper course to pursue with Odessa wheat, in the light of their experience. The farmers to the northeast of Anaheim intend to flood their farms with river water previous to seeding, thus making the crop absolutely certain. In the Presbyterian church, Westminster, on the evening of November 10th, 1880, by Rev. John Marquis—Rev. J. White. Rev. F. A. Field, Rev. Robert Strong, Rev. S. B. King and Rev. J. Mack also present—Mr. Waldo Huss Marquis, son of the officiating clergyman was married to Miss Minnie Josephine Kiefhaber, all of Westminster. The church was neatly decorated and the gifts numerous and handsome. The occasion was graced by the presence of a large number of relatives and friends of the parties, whose kind wishes accompany the young people to their new home in Santa Ana. The public school has been closed during the week, the teachers being in attendance at the Teachers Institute in Los Angeles. Among the papers read at the Institute was one by Prof. Guinn entitled, "Pedagogy and Pedagogues in the Olden Times." By reference to the advertisement of the Anaheim Lighter company it will be seen that they solicit grain for storage, and will give extremely liberal rates to those who patronize them. Mr. Hull, the agent, informs us that the always great storage capacity of the warehouses has recently been increased so that he has plenty of space now at his disposal. Mr. Thos. Dunn heard some covotes in his vineyard the other night, and discharging his gun in the direction of the noise killed two of the invaders. Remarkable marksmanship, considering the cidcumstances. Percy Wiggins of Monte Vista was thrown from his wagon on the night of election day and becoming entangled in some manner, was dragged a considerable distance, suffering serious and perhaps fatal injuries. Angel Corona, arrested for participating in the robbery of Crowder's store in Orange last March, had a preliminary examination... Mr. Thos.

Angel Corona, arrested for participating in the robbery of Crowder's store in Orange last March, had a preliminary examination before Justice Fischer in Los Angeles this week and was held for trial. Mr. Fritz Reuter informs us that the Odd Fellows of Santa Ana propose to give a ball on Christmas at which they expect a large attendance from Anaheim. Next Thursday is opening day at the Anaheim Millinery store. All ladies are invited to inspect the array of new and pretty things which will be displayed on that occasion. The Cajon Irrigation company has filed a petition in insolvency. The debts of the company amount to about $5,000. Mr. Browning has been appointed Receiver. Goodman and Rimpau call attention to a long list of articles which can be found in their well-filled shelves. The San Diego News says that hay is selling in that county for $12 per ton loose and $15 baled. The imports at the railroad depot for the month of October amounted to 234,000 pounds and the exports to 697,682 pounds. Mr. R. Luedke will receive in a few days one of the largest and best assortments of toys ever bought to this town. Look out for the advertisement next week. The zephyr which cavorted around Santa Ana during Thursday night knocked the railroad company's roundhouse into smithers and the locomotive housed therein was so badly damaged as to be rendered unserviceable. Mr. Alex Henry returned on Sunday last after an absence of several months in the far north on a sealing vessel. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1905 Dr. James S. Gardiner, for many years a resident of this city, died at his home in Los Angeles Thursday morning last. The deceased was a native of Scotland and was in his sixty-fifty year. He is survived by his wife and a daughter, Mrs. Richard Coons of Los Angeles. Interment was made in Anaheim cemetery on Saturday and services were under the auspices of the Masonic order of which fraternity deceased was a lifelong member. Accompanying the body were Mrs. Gardiner and her daughters, Mrs. Victor Montgomery and Mrs. Coons, Mr. Coons, Mr. and Mrs. A. Gardiner and family and a number of friends. Judge Montgomery and Mr. Keener, brother of Mrs. Gardiner drove over from Santa Ana meeting the burial party at the Santa Fe depot. A large course of friends gathered at the depot to pay their last respects to the departed. Dr. Gardiner came to Anaheim in the early 70's and for many years enjoyed an intensive practice throughout the valley as physician and surgeon. A man of education and great personal charm he numbered his friends far and wide, and made friendships in those early days which subsisted to the end. He filled the position of postmaster during Cleveland's administration and was secretary of the Water company for years. In 1898 he moved to Los Angeles where he and his family have since lived. The library board wish to thank Miss F. Long for her excellent gift of Eucyclopidia Britannica consisting of twenty-one volumes. They have long felt the need of some such reference work in the library and Miss Long's generous gift will be greatly appreciated by all patrons. Mrs. John Hartung entertained the Ladies' Euchre club at her home on Thursday afternoon. The first prize, a beautiful silver jewel case was won by Mrs. Hatzfeld. The second prize a pair of silver candlesticks was taken by Mrs. Smith of Los Angeles and the consolation a pretty shaded glass vase was carried off by Mrs. Koenig. Playing was followed by refreshments, which with music, vocal and instrumental, made the afternoon a very pleasurable. Now Wild Turkeys Enter the Field It takes a wild turkey to make a tame turkey wild, says Earl Soto of the California Fish and Game Commission. With this knowledge at hand turkey planting is progressing rapidly in the southern part of California. The liberations are being made under the supervision of E. D. Platt, Superintendent of the State Game Farm near Chino. Occasionally the liberated birds wander to the ranches and farms near the vicinity of the planting and it has been a problem to prevent these wild birds joining the domestic flocks. Farmers sometimes appeal to the Fish and Game Commission and ask for instruction on the art of making the wild birds wilder. Naturalists have explained that the turkey is a native wild bird of this continent. Our pilgrim fathers found the birds plentiful on the eastern coast and utilized the meat for food. Years of contact with man have tamed the turkey sufficiently to include the bird in our list of domesticated fowls. Also, years of indiscriminate hunting have reduced the birds in the natural wild state to a minimum—as a matter of fact the birds have been exterminated from most of their natural haunts. Several days ago a liberation of 120 birds was made in the Big Pine district. These birds were all raised at the Chino Game Farm and were not released until the Superintendent had made a careful study of the field. The birds will be protected from unprincipled hunters and predatory animals as well as possible and close check will be kept of their meeting activities. If some of the birds succeed in raising broods of turkeys in the wild state, these flocks will be carefully watched and will be trapped at the proper stage of development. Instead of holding the trapped birds until they become tame, the game farm attendants will distribute them with flocks of the tame birds and liberate them immediately. It is known that turkeys will follow a leader and that the wild gobbler will generally assume the lead. In this way the flock will be led to a natural feeding ground, but will learn to protect itself through the teachings of the wild leader. The results of this experiment are being closely watched and should prove of interest to every hunter in the State.

The second prize a pair of silver candlesticks was taken by Mrs. Smith of Los Angeles and the consolation a pretty shaded glass vase was carried off by Mrs. Koenig. Playing was followed by refreshments, which with music, vocal and instrumental, made the afternoon a very pleasant one. Mrs. J. I. Holmes and Mrs. Smith of Los Angeles and Miss Delmas of San Jose were among the out of town guests. The debate held in the operahouse on Friday evening between the Anaheim high school and the Los Angeles polytechnic high school was won by the former, the subject being, Resolved, "That the Federal government should own the railroads operating on United States territory." The debaters for the affirmative were Andre Gifford and Ernest Ganahl of Los Angeles, the negative being argued by Bernice Tipton and Max Carmichael of Anaheim high school. Student Gifford made some telling arguments and was followed by Bernice Tipton for the negative who spoke convincingly and intelligently. The argument was further indulged by students Ganahl and Carmichael who each made good addresses. The Anaheim high school received 65 points. Theodore Dickel, president of the local debating league, presided. With him treated upon the stage was President Snow of the Polytechnic debating league. College vells and songs were given with a vim by the Anaheim high school and the students were heartily applauded. The stage was beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums. Ernest Kossert has sold his eleven acre tract on the corner of Olive and Santa Ana streets to Mrs. Alice R. Kennedy, who recently arrived from Tennessee. The place is highly improved, being planted to oranges and walnuts. The purchase price was $8,500. Mr. Kossert retains the walnut cron which increases the price over $9000. Mrs. Kennedy will take possession forthwith. Mr. Kossert will remain in Anaheim, but may make a six-month trip to Europe. The sale was negotiated through Stock & Schwentkert. The city trustees have let contract to C. Schindler for constructing sidewalks around the central and primary school houses. The prices are 9 cents per square foot for the walks and 25 cents for curbing. The trustees will also sink a deep well at the Katella school. Secretary Kirck of the Water company has received from the agricultural experiment station at Berkeley analysis of samples of water taken from wells sunk by the company at Horseshoe Bend and from the canal. George E. Colvv, who analyzed the samples reports all the waters to be suitable for irrigation purposes—that even for citrus trees the common salt present is not sufficient to cause injury, and the white alkali (sulphate of soda) is not excessive. He also states that these waters, like nearly all those used for irrigating carry to the soil only small quantities for fertilizing materials, named nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid. Dr. Johnston on Saturday mailed a letter bearing the notable superscription "Hon. Grover Cleveland, New York." The letter Reduce the Acid SICK stomachs, sour stomachs and indigestion usually mean excess acid. The stomach nerves are over-stimulated. Too much acid makes the stomach and intestines sour. Alkalil kills acid instantly. The best form is Phillips Milk of Magnesia, because one harmless does neutralize many times its volume in acid. For 50 years the standard with physicians everywhere. Take a spoonful in water and your unhappy condition will probably end in five minutes. Then you will always know what to do. Crude and harmful methods will never appeal to you. Go prove this for your own sake. It may save a great many disagreeable hours. Be sure to get the genuine Phillips Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians in correcting excess acids. Dr. Johnston on Saturday mailed a letter bearing the notable superscription "Hon. Grover Cleveland, New York." The letter was in regard to the reorganization of the Equitable insurance company, in which the doctor holds a policy for a large amount. Sonral Stueckle has sold to Mrs. Ella Watson two acres at the corner of Los Angeles and South streets. Consideration $1300. Mrs. Webster contemplates substantial improvements. The sale was negotiated by Frank Baum. An Eastern syndicate of realty dealers has purchased 350 acres of ocean front near Laguna Beach with the intention of creating a new resort there. An additional 150 acres in the hills back of the place were purchased as a site for developing water. C. L. Lewis of Los Angeles, superintendent of the Postal Telegraph company was in town on Tuesday making his tour of inspection of local offices. He found operator Scott at his post of duty, sending out telegrams with one hand and raking in checkels over the counter with the other. Tom's wages were raised on the spot. Mr. Brunworth informs us chili growers receive 10 and 11 cents per pound for the product, not 14 cents as reported by several outside papers. Cood Adams and wife and J. E. Gowan and wife of Santa Ana were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Adams on Sunday. J. Bayha of the tomato trust has purchased three lots in the Davis tract and will erect a handsome residence. Mrs. C. O. Rust returned on Monday from Colorado Springs after an absence of several months. Contractor Lagman has a force of mechanics at work upon the new German-America Bank building.
