IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of an Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 25, 1880 R. Nadeau of Los Angeles forwarded ten, 18 mule teams to Tombstone, Arizona, on Tuesday by rail. It took 30 flat and box cars to accommodate the outfit. Some months ago Mr. Hall was appointed postmaster at Santa Ana but did not receive his commission, nor did postmaster French receive any notification of his removal. We now learn by telegram from Washington that the appointment of Hall has been revoked and that Mr. French has been reappointed. The Schooner Serena Thayer, from Wilmington which arrived in San Francisco last Saturday, on the night of the 16th, while being too under close reefed sails, was struck by a heavy south-east squall and thrown on her beam ends, causing the loss of six hundred sacks of wheat and splitting her sails. Mr. J. J. Dyer has arrived from Tucson to spend the holidays with his family. Addison Dyer also came in from Benson to parakee of the fatted turkey at the family table. Mr. J. D. Fish, another Anaheim-Arizonaian is here on his annual visit to his parents. A Gospel Swamp farmer plowed up a rattlesnake in his field the other day, and the reptile struck at him twice. The popular belief that snakes become dormant in winter this receives a striking refutation Southern California winters have but little effect upon snakes.

The bee-keepers association met in Las Angeles on Saturday selected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, N. Wilson; Vice-presidents, I. F. Dunsmoor and J. W. Wilson; Secretary, L. S. Butler; Treasurer, E. E. Shatuck. The next meeting will be held on the third Saturday in January, 1881, at o'clock p.m. at room No. 1, Baker block. Among the real estate transfers filed for record during the last were the following: Theodore Reiser, guardian of the estate Keller to Geo. B. Shaffer, Lot 56 in Block E, in vineyard lot 3; $450, Wm. C. Miller of San Francisco to Clarissa Yocum of Haem, portion or vineyard lot E 6 fronting 209 feet on Palm Street, $900. The managers of the Masquerade beg to announce that notwithstanding the inclementity of the weather they are not idle and are doing their best to please their prospective patrons. The invitations to the ball will be issued in a few days. Read their advertisement carefully. The idea of giving a second Masquerade on Washington's birthday has been abandoned and all the energies of the management will be concentrated on the carnival to be held on St. Valentine's day. The Orizaba yesterday crossed the bar at Wilmington and delivered her freight at the new wharf of the Pacific Coast Steamship company. As the Orizaba draws fourteen feet of water, and steamed out of Wilmington last night, cavil as to the utility of this harbor is no longer in place with sensible people. The predictions of Gen. Alexander and Col. Mendell have been realized. A harbor which will accommodate the shipping of the world has been almost accomplished at Wilmington. No one who has the interests of Southern California, as well as of the county at large, at heart, should fail to urge forward this sterling improvement. It is possible that an additional expenditure of a quarter of a million dollars may be necessary but this is a mere bagatelle when compared with the resultant and enduring national and local advantages. By the way, when the Orizaba crossed the bar she did not feel her way but steamed boldly in. Mr. E. S. Saxton will this season plant thirty acres of Muscat cuttings on his place. Believing that the vines will grow thriftier and bear larger grapes by giving them plenty of room, he will plant the cuttings eight feet apart.

S. Saxton will this season plant thirty acres of Muscat cuttings on his place. Believing that the vines will grow thriftier and bear larger grapes by giving them plenty of room, he will plant the cuttings eight feet apart. Around the vineyard he will plant two rows of olive trees, and a substantial rabbit proof fence will surround the entire tract. Orangethorpe, as the district is called, embraces some of the best vines land in this vicinity. There are several vineyards in that locality which yield large crops and which have never been irrigated. About the only essential to success in starting a vineyard on such land is a season like the present one, when the ground is so thoroughly saturated. We learn that, taking advantage of favorable conditions, Mr. B. H. Bancroft will set out 10 acres of cuttings, Mr. W. J. Smith 20 acres, D. G. Chilson 3 acres, John Hunter 3 acres and E. A. Mead about 10 acres. There are doubtless others who intend to start vineyards this season and in due time we will gather and present statistics showing what has been done to increase the vineyard area. We have had another week of rain and the mackerel shy portends a continuance of moisture. Dainty people to whom mud, slush and the disagreeable concomitants of rain are dispiriting and annoying are beginning to think, with the Strasbourg goose who was undergoing the forced fattening process, that we are going to have too much of a good thing. But others more matter of fact and less sentimental, echo the words of the dauntless Macbeth—"Dammed be he who first cries hold enough!" Every drop of rain which has fallen this season has done its mite of good, the ground has taken it all in and farmers assure us that the ground is more thoroughly saturated than it has been for many years. Grass is growing rapidly and in many places is already furnishing feed for sheep. Total rainfall for the week is 2.09 inches. Total for the season 5.60 inches. In 1879 the total up to December 20 was 5.85 inches. The season has been unusually prolific in earthquakes. We have to record two more this week. At 3:30 p.m. last Sunday, the shake lasted one minute and at 11 p.m. on Tuesday there was a slight shock lasting a few seconds. The total rainfall in Los Angeles up to Thursday at 1 p.m. was 0.24 inches.

J. W. Dean, aged 76, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. R. Gardiner at Fullerton on Tuesday last after an illness of several years. Mr. Dean had been a resident of California since 1887. He leaves six children, Mrs. J. R. Gardiner, and E. W. Dean, Fullerton, Miss Susie Dean, Los Angeles, Dr. J. S. Dean, Redlands and two sons in the east.

The coldest weather that has prevailed here in several years visited the valley on Friday and Saturday nights. The coldest dip of the thermometer is reported from Garden Grove early on Saturday morning, when 24 degrees was recorded. At Buena Park the temperature fell to 30. Pipes in the creamery froze up and water refused to run. Milk cans were sent home unwashed for the first time in the history of the factory. At Placentia the mercury dropped to 30 and in town to 29. At La Habra and other points throughout the valley frost killed tomatoes and chili peppers. Ice a quarter of an inch thick formed in places. No damage to oranges is reported. Several independent Orange county growers last season shipped tomatoes by express east to be sold in the auction market. They expected to receive $50 a ton but were agrecably surprised when the product sold for nearly $200 a ton. At present John Gitebrink, A. Edwards, J. M. Woodward, Bosworth & Gage, Henry Schulte and others are shipping their tomatoes to Chicago and New York to be sold at auction houses, and the net profits realized are $125 per ton net to the grower, while if they sold at home they could not expect more than $40 or $50 a ton. Shipments are being made in crates of twenty pounds each, going out by express at a special low rate. The recent cold snap has put a stop to much of the traffic but that there is money in winter vegetables has been amply proven.

The new illustrated pamphlet descriptive of Anaheim and vicinity, issued by the Chamber of Commerce, has appeared and has evoked much approval. Many fine halftone engravings appear upon its pages, and by general consent the pamphlet is the most interesting so far issued by the city. Following are a few quotations from the booklet: The Anaheim of today is a thriving incorporated city and its citizens are thoroughly imbued with the spirit of progress. It was the first city in Southern California to put into practical operation municipal ownership of public utilities. It has its own city hall and its own domestic water and electric light, and is preparing to install its own gas system. Then there is the National bank, one savings bank and a state bank. There are two weekly newspapers, nine churches and a round dozen of fraternal societies. The Odd Fellows have just completed a hall costing $14,000. There are four large and modern school buildings, and the high school is one of the best equipped institutions in the county. There are seventeen teachers employed in the schools and the attendance is 456 pupils. It has a building and loan association which now has loans in force amounting to $58,000 nearly all of which has been expended in the building of homes. It has excellent railroad facilities, the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe running frequent trains from Los Angeles. In brief Anaheim has every advantage which is now necessary for the progress and development of a modern city. KELVINATOR— Prices: $189.50 and up.
