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 an 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FEBRUARY 12, 1881 The Town Trustees held a meeeting yesterday and drew up an ordinance which will probably have the effect of mitigating in some degree the tramp nuisance. The ordinance provides that the marshal shall offer all persons without visible means of support work on the roads at $1 a day, and that if such offer is refused they will be confined for forty-eight hours in the city jail on a diet of bread and water. If they fail to leave town within three hours after their confinement the process of imprisonment will be continued ad lib. Fifty copies of the ordinance will be printed and posted on telegraph poles along the railroad, so that the tramp fraternity will know what to expect if they come here. It is reported that a large body of them are coming down from the north, and if they know what is good for themselves they will switch off at Los Angeles and go Arizonaward. Mr. E. A. Saxton suggested the other day that it would be well to urge upon farmers the advisability of planting potatoes now. He reminded us of the fact that two years ago when the upper country suffered from flood, the potatoes from the southern counties were in great demand and brought a large price. Mr. J. Y. Anderson of Westminster sold his large crop for $2 a hundred in the bin. Not only has the flood this year done greater damage than that of two years ago, but a new market has developed since then—Arizona. These two cases combined will without doubt cause the price of potatoes to go up even beyond the figure realized by Mr. Anderson. The wise farmer will ponder upon these facts and act accordingly. A deluge such as never before experienced in the state, occurred in the northern counties the latter part of last week and continuing into the present week. In Napa, Sonoma, Solano, Sacramento, Siskiyou and other counties immense damage has been done to public and private property. The damage in Napa city alone is estimated at $50,000. On Monday the Sacramento river was 261½ feet above the low water mark—something unprecendented. The county around Sacramento is overflowed, and the A deluge such as never before experienced in the state, occurred in the northern counties the latter part of last week and continuing into the present week. In Napa, Sonoma, Solano, Sacramento, Siskiyou and other counties immense damage has been done to public and private property. The damage in Napa city alone is estimated at $50,000. On Monday the Sacramento river was 26½ feet above the low water mark—something unprecedented. The county around Sacramento is overflowed, and the entire valley on Wednesday presented the appearance of an inland sea, the levies having broken. The town of Washington in Yolo county is inundated. The dampness is simply prodigious. What with two much rain in the north and too little in the south, the prospects for the farmers of both sections are not very rose colored. The farmers of the southern counties, however, have rather the advantage, as they are bound to raise some part of a crop, and the prices will undoubtedly be renumerative. The grand musical concert last Tuesday evening was a brilliant affair and a splendid success. Mrs. Bessie Lawrence and Prof. Arevatlo must have been gratified with their reception and with the way they were appreciated for their excellent performances. The gifts of Mrs. Lawrence are well known and seem to be appreciated, but who could have anticipated that her pupils had attained such proficiency. It was very gratifying to observe how the heart of the audience was wrung with finest sentiments, and ready to respond when swept by the genius of song. The music and the artists rivaled each other and left nothing for further desire but that they may come soon and often before us for our delight and improvement. All preparations are complete for making a grand success of the masquerade carnival on the night of February 14th. A wonderful supper under the auspices of the committee will be served at the Planters hotel. Tickets must positively be secured before 7 p.m. Monday evening, as no maskers will be admitted without tickets. Orders for carriages will be received until 5 p.m. on the night of the ball, but no later. Grand march will form at 9 o'clock sharp. Special accommodations have been made for a larger number of spectators than ever before.

The encampment is now in a flourishing condition and there is a good prospect for a rapid and healthy increase in membership. The Ladies Aid society desire to return their thanks to the managers of the masquerade ball for their offer to donate the net proceeds to the society.
