IN THE DAYS OF I 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 27, 1880 The heavy wind of last week was a great disappointment to those who had been busy so long in preparing the Cantata of the Flower Queen, but it is doubtful if many more would have been present on Wednesday, than the company assembled in Kroeger's hall on Friday night. We noticed large delegations from Santa Ana, Tustin City, Orange, Westminster and Orange-thorpe, while the townspeople turned out en masse as though to snow their sympathy for the difficulties that had been experienced since the entertainment was first spoken of. The stage had been elaborately and tastefully decorated under the superintendence of Mr. C. E. Leonard assisted by Mr. D. W. C. Cowan and presented a very pleasing spectacle when occupied by the young ladies, whose dresses were decorated with the flowers which they respectively personated. Mrs. Des Granges presided at the piano, and it was a subject of general regret that the managers had not been able to secure her a better instrument than the antiquated affair from which no amount of skill could extract much melody. The Cantata was rendered in a most satisfactory manner, and the choruses bore witness to long and patient training; while the solos were all so good that it would be invirious to specify any, thought we may say that the Touch-Me-Not seemed to call forth the most applause and was deservedly encored. We understand that the entertainment was financially a success, as it certainly was in other respects. The profits were nearly, if not quite fifty dollars, which will be sufficient to purchase and put up the stone. The members of the church are to be congratulated and our townspeople will have one excuse the less for not attending services this winter. The Rector and members of St. Michael's church wish to express their thanks to the many friends who aided them in preparing for the Cantata of the Flower Queen and to the public for their attendance on Tuesday.

There never was a ball more thoroughly enjoyed than that given at Kroeger"s hall on Thanksgiving night. The hall was filled to overflowing and not until four o'clock on Friday morning did the merrie company tire of responding to the music, which the Anaheim Brass band discoursed with scarcely any respite all night long. Notwithstanding the immense throng which par-took of supper, so liberal had been the donations of eatables that dozens of chickens, scores of cakes and boxes of bread, etc., remained after all had partaken and this surplus was yesterday distributed among those to whom the committee thought it would prove acceptable. One immense, handsome cake the work of Mrs. Konig bought $9 at raffle. The spontaneous liberality which has characterized the response of the people of Anaheim to recent appeals to their genuosity does them great honor and it is safe to say that in few communities could be found persons who would, unasked, give their time and services to a task such as has been accomplished by the ladies and gentlemen who managed this affair. The amount realized could not be definitely ascertained yesterday. It is rumored that large shipments of corn will soon be made to Mexico by a Los Angeles firm and that they are even now purchasing every central they can get hold of. Whenever Mexico makes a demand on this country for corn prices run away up, and there is no reason why the farmers should not obtain big prices for their crop this year. It is more than likely also, that there will be a steady rise in the price of wheat and barley consequent upon a brisk demand for these cereals. Take it altogether the year 1880 is closing as auspiciously as it began. The night of the 16th inst on the Colorado desert was the most memorable in the railway annals of the Yuma branch of the Southern Pacific. The eastward bound train was caught in the Tortugas switch, seven miles west of Mammoth Tank, by a simoon which literally took all the ballast and roadbed away. The train careened over one side and the engineer and brakeman only prevented the locomotive from keeling over outright by shovelling dirt and improvised ballast on one side or other of the track as the occasion demanded. There was a detention of sixteen hours there, which the hungry passengers and train hands improved by breaking into the stores of canned pork and beans consigned to Arizona merchants. The incident was one long to be remembered. The Commercial says that the Republican County Central committee have paid all the bills incurred by them during the campaign. But they haven't.

The cars from Los Angeles have brought almost nightly during the week large consignments of grapes for B. Dreyfus & Co., who are paying $22 per ton for all the grapes which are delivered to them. The operations of this firm are of greater magnitude than is generally realized. The firm will make this year in Anaheim, San Gabriel, Cucamonga and Napa over 800,000 gallons of wine and will handle at least 2,500,00 gallons of this year's product. Mr. P. Ainsworth of Orange has made a lot of raisins this season—so fine that he was not afraid to send a box of them to Riverside for comparison with the raisins made at that place. In anticipation of coming events—When Center street will more nearly resemble Broadway, N. Y., than it does now—the sidewalk in front of the hotel has been thoroughly repaired. The rainfall on the night of the 24th amounted to .30 in town and at Mr. E. E. Saxton's place the gauge showed .44. In Los Angeles the fall was .56. "Few office holders die, and none resign" is a rule to which there are a few exceptions. The Downey postmaster has tendered his resignation and signed a petition in favor of the appointment of B. W. Tarwater. The Colusa Sun says that if some method of stopping the work of the coddling moth is not soon discovered the orchards of that county will be utterly destroyed. Mr. Jos. Helmsen has just received another lot of beautiful Christmas candies which people have only to see to purchase. He has also a superior lot of Christmas candles. Mr. Cahen in his advertisement today offers special bargains in ladies and misses shoes, etc. 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, NOV. 30, 1905 An inch and .31 of rain has fallen since the last report, bringing the seasonal total, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge, to 5.32 inches. While figures of the rainfall a quarter of a century ago are not at hand as we write, it is the opinion of W. J. Hill, who is one of the best posted men in Orange county upon such matters, that not since the winter of 1878 has so much rain fallen up to the first of December. Not in the past twenty years has anything like it fallen. Indeed, we have had years during the past decade when the entire amount of rainfall has but slightly exceeded that already precipitated. On all lands plowing progresses actively and a record breaking acreage will be seeded to grain. Rain began falling early on Sunday morning and continued until midnight, when the heaviest precipitation in years set in and lasted half an hour. Eighty-five hundredths of an inch was the night's record. Monday night forty-six hundredths fell, making the season's total 5.32. Rain has fallen from the Columbia river to the Mexican coast. The drouth in the north is broken, yet the fall in Southern California largely exceeds that so far recorded in the north. The fall in this section is as large as that of any section of the state. A. S. Bradford announces he has discovered that oranges pay better than walnuts, and contemplates grubbing out five acres of nut trees after gathering the crop. Last year he took out five of his ten acres of walnut trees and thinks he will follow suit this year with the remainder. Mr. Bradford is marketing his navel oranges through the Citrus Union at fancy prices. His Valencia lates he disposed of at $2 per box on the trees. His land is well adapted to citrus fruits, but is not so good for walnuts, hence the latter will have to go. The many friends of the family will regret to learn of the death of William E. Hargreaves and Margaret Landell Har Officers Elected For Children's Relief The Crippled Children's Relief Association of Orange county held its annual election at the home of Mrs. George S. Driggs in Santa Ana, Friday night. All of the officers were reelected, and Dr. G. W. Olson, of Fullerton, was added to the board of directors. The officers for the coming year are: President, Earl S. Morrow, Santa Ana; vice-president, Mrs. Oscar H. Renner, Anaheim; treasurer, Miss Kate Rea, Anaheim; secretary, Miss Grace W. Bailey, Anaheim.

Christian Science Thanksgiving Day Thanksgiving Day services will be held Thursday in Christian Science Churches, branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ Scientist, in Boston, Mass."Thanksgiving" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon. The Golden Text is from Psalms 27:12."Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the rememberance of his holiness." One of the Scripture selections in the Lesson-Sermon includes the following words of Paul to the Corinthians: "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall eap also bountifully." And God able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work;... Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which sauce through us thanksgiving to God." A correlative passage from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "Christians rejoice in secret beauty and boun A. S.

Hargreaves and Margaret Landell Hargreaves of Fallbrook; grandson of Mrs. Sallie Landel, formerly of Buena Park and great grandson of Mrs. Margaret Hughes of Los Angeles. The child died of spinal meningitis on the 19th inst., and was buried on the 21st in the cemetery near Fallbrook with full Episcopal ceremonies. Mr. J. B. Neff went to Imperial on Monday to arrange for having four or five farmer's institutes to convene at Thermal, Brawley, Imperial, Holtville and possibly at Calexico the week of Dec. 11-16. Those will be the first institutes of the winter schedule. An institute will convene at Compton, Dec. 18-19. It will be devoted largely to dairy cattle and a number of experienced breeders from the north will be present. Mr. Neff has received applications for institutes from scores of places throughout Southern California. Meetings will be held in as many of these places as practicable. The Los Alamitos sugar factory closed down last week for the season after a successful run of three months and eighteen days. The season's output is 122,000 bags of sugar of 100 pounds each. Forty-seven thousand tons of beets were sliced. The number of men engaged was 190; working in two shifts. The total amount of money disbursed for labor, beets and material was $275,000. The season was one of the most successful in the history of the factory. Ed. Bustamente has recevered from an attack of typhoid fever contracted in Los Angeles and which kept him to his bed during eleven weeks. He lost 42 pounds during his illness falling from 160 pounds to 118. He has gained 17 pounds and now tips the beam at 137. Under Dr. Beebe's treatment he expects to soon be himself again. A threatre party consisting of Mr. and Mrs.Hatzfeld, Mr. and Mrs.Wallop, Miss Adella Strodthoff and Gus and Hugo Strodthoff attended the performance of Ben Hur in Los Angeles last evening. The party drove to Santa Ana, where they took the electric, returning on the late theatre train. Daniel Dougherty and Miss Sophia Bolz were married on Sunday afternoon at the residence of the bride's parents in this city, Rev. Mitchell of the Presbyterian church officiating. The young couple will make their home on the groom's ranch three miles southwest of town. Ben Snodgress of the Jungle ranch west of town has presented the Chamber of Commerce with a sample branch of olives and a cluster of pomegranates for the exhibit room. The branchans; "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly: and he which soweth bountifully shall cap also bountifully... And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work; ... Being enriched in everything through us thanksgiving to God." A correlative passage from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "Christians rejoice in secret beauty and bounty, hidden from the world, but known to God. Self-forgetfulness, purity, and affection are constant prayers. Practice not profession, understanding not belief, gain the ear and right hand of omnipotence and they assuredly call down infinite blessings." Daniel Dougherty and Miss Sophia Bolz were married on Sunday afternoon at the residence of the bride's parents in this city, Rev. Mitchell of the Presbyterian church officiating. The young couple will make their home on the groom's ranch three miles southwest of town. Ben Snodgress of the Jungle ranch west of town has presented the Chamber of Commerce with a sample branch of olives and a cluster of pomegranates for the exhibit room. The branch is well filled with olives of large size. Mr. Snodgrass states that he will gather 100 gallons of olives from eight trees. R. H. Gilman has sold 101½ cars of late Valencia oranges for $14,000 through the citrus union, and will this season clean up $20,000 on his crop. He has 40 acres of young oranges in the Tuffree tract for which he recently refused $40,000 from a Riverside party. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton is reported to have sold a carload of late Valencia oranges in the New York market some days ago for $3600. This is the highest price ever realized for a carload of California fruit. Prof. Ed Crowther has returned to his Placentia home after a six months tour of the conservatories of Europe. He studied for a time in Paris under one of the foremost violinists in that country. Frank Schwentku visited with his folks here on Tuesday coming in from Albuquerque. He came to negotiate for the purchase in Los Angeles for a pipe organ for the First Presbyterian church at Albuquerque. Mrs. L. C. Blake, Miss Alice Carver and Miss Lois Blake were in Los Angeles Saturday and attended the play of Ben Hur in the evening. Frank Fox shot a blue sandhill crane up the ditch while hunting Tuesday afternoon. The crane is of large size and will be stuffed and placed on exhibition in Frank's tonsorial parlor. Engineer H. Clay Kellogg and Attorney Keech were over from Santa Ana on Thursday to attend a meeting of the litigation committee of the water companies.

Adams, Santa Ana;own, Fullerton; Albert A. D. White, Santa Ana; Osborne, Fullerton; Mrs. Santa Ana; Louis Hossein, and Dr. G. W. Olson. Cotton Crop Is Good But Prices Are Low Cotton growers are basing their hopes for a fair monetary return this year on a large yield per acre. Due to low prices, the growers must produce more cotton, the federal-state crop reporting service said in their cotton report. California is ahead of other states in yield, with an average indicated of 411 pounds per acre. Satisfactory harvest weather during October and an excellent yield has speeded up cotton harvesting. Ginning at most plants is working to capacity, night crew being employed at many places. Unless wet or foggy weather should occur in the San Joaquin Valley before the greater part of the crop is harvested, California should gain 230,000 bales from 268,000 acres. Estimates are that 55,000 bales will be harvested from 100,000 acres in Lower California, Mexico. The forecast from the entire United States manages a Poor Farm of 438,000 bales from 44,791,000 acres.
