IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FEBRUARY 26, 1881 As previously announced, Rev. A. G. L. Trew paid Anaheim a visit during the week, partly for the purpose of recreation as he has been suffering from an attack of malarial fever. Few old residents meet with as warm a welcome as does Mr. Trew on his occasional visits here, as our people honor him for his worth as a man. He was accompanied on a visit to our office by Mr. Shanly, a Canadian friend, who is spending the winter at San Gabriel. Mr. Shanly is secretary and engineer of one of the colonial railroads, and we hope to induce him to give a short comparative statement of passenger and freight rates in Canada and California. Messrs. Stough and Gannon, blacksmith and wagonmaker respectively, have leased the commodious shop on Lemon street, and are now fairly installed therein. Mr. Stough's ability as a blacksmith and horse-shoer is known the county over, he having been in business here for many years past. Mr. Gannon has also earned the reputation of being a first class workman. All having work in their line or who desire to purchase any of the celebrated Osborn farming machinery or Studebaker farm wagons, should call on Messrs. Stough and Gannon who will give the most favorable prices and terms. A petition is in circulation asking Clarence King, Director of the U. S. Geological Survey to order a geological survey of the petroleum belt, which extends from the San Fernando District in the county, through the Sespi, Santa Paula, Ojai and Sulphur mountain districts in Ventura county, and the Carpenteria and Santa Barabara county, a "Belt" eighty miles in length. The commission of the General Land Office has rendered a decision, approving the survey of the Rancho Pass de Bartolo, containing 8.991 acres in Los Angeles county. This survey includes 283 acres of the adjoining Santa Gertrudes Rancho which A petition is in circulation asking Clarence King, Director of the U. S.

The commission of the General Land Office has rendered a decision, approving the survey of the Rancho Pass de Bartolo, containing 8.991 acres in Los Angeles county. This survey includes 283 acres of the adjoining Santa Gertrudes Rancho which has been patented to McFarland and Downey. The patent of the claim known as San Pascual in Los Angeles county has been transmitted to the Surveyor General in San Francisco. The common council of Los Angeles has fixed the water rates as follows: Inside the city limits—per day per irrigating head, $2.50; half day $1.50; per night $2.00, per hour. 75 cents. Outside the city limits—per day per irrigating head, $5; half day $3.50; per night $3.00. The French ship Papillon will be loaded at Wilmington with wheat and honey for Liverpool by Walter S. Maxwell of Los Angeles. We understand that the amount of honey to be shipped by this vessel is one hundred tons. Negotiations are in progress to charter another vessel to be loaded at this point as soon as the Papillon has been despatched. Mr. and Mrs. Dunham entertained a number of their friends at the hotel on Friday evening of last week, and did it in such a way that the greatest possible amount of enjoyment was crowded into the hours between 8 o'clock and midnight. The culmination of the evening was an elegantly prepared repast to which the guests were seated. "Nothing was left for further desire" than that the party was but the forerunner of others that would follow thick and fast. The Anaheim Brass Band will on next Friday night inaugurate a series of social "hops" which will be given every two weeks until further notice at the Magnolia hall. This effort to provide amusement during the coming summer should meet with encouragement. The price of admission to these hops has been fixed at 50 cents per couple. As illustrative of the extensive business relations of Messrs. A. Guy Smith and Co. it may be mentioned that the mail the other night brought an order from Texas for a carload of hay, a request from Benson A. T. for a carload of ground feed and a demand from Tucson for a carload of grain. This firm sends out on an average three carloads of ground feed per week to Arizona. From the San Francisco Chronicle we clip the following: At Anaheim every tramp is to have the choice between work on the street at $1 a day and imprisonment on a diet of bread and water. He will probably take neither, but undoubtedly will stay religiously away from such a practical town. A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark., of February 22 says that the Senate by a vote of 18 to 5 passed the joint resolution fixing the pronunciation of the name of this state as "Arkansaw."

A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark., of February 22 says that the Senate by a vote of 18 to 5 passed the joint resolution fixing the pronunciation of the name of this state as "Arkansaw." The senate passed a resolution proposing a constitutional amendment prohibiting the sale of liquor in the state. The vote was 66 to 17. The refusal of the railroad company to pay their taxes in Fresno county makes the county school fund about $4000 short. The sheep men of San Luis Obispo county complain bitterly of the ravages made on their flocks by coyotes. A sherry house was recently fired up at St. Helena, Napa county with over 30,000 gallons of wine. It will take three months to cook. The railroad company has taken $6 per ton from their rates on grain from Anaheim to certain parts of Arizona Territory. This is a large reduction for the company to make voluntarily. With this issue is sent out a circular, a perusal of which by housekeepers will be found profitable, Mr. Cahen is selling everything in the grocery line at very low figures, and he carries an immense stock which is constantly being replenished. A lady named Mrs. Donelly, en route from San Francisco to Tucson, where she is to take charge of a school, stopped over in Los Angeles a day to do some shopping and had the misfortune to lose her purse containing $115, all the money she had. Mrs. Kellogg has presented us with a very fine specimen of the navel orange grown on the Johnson place at Orange. It measured fourteen inches in circumference. It was too tempting to keep and has gone the way of all good oranges. A. Heyenheimer of New York and E. E. Parbes of St. Louis, have been in town for a couple of days past on a temperance mission. They are buying wine for shipping to the respective cities. S 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 MARCH 1, 1906 Arbor Day was fittingly celebrated by citizens and school children on Washington's birthday, Feb. 22. Business was for the most part suspended. The city was handsomely decorated and flags flew from staffs on many buildings. At 1 o'clock the procession formed on Center below Lemon. Henry Adams, P. H. Kirck, Welborn Wallop, Walter Mickle and Claude Kuebler, mounted, acted as grand marshals. Preceded by the city band several hundred school children, accompanied by their teachers and a long line of citizens in carriages took up the line of march to the Central school grounds, where the literary and musical exercises were held. The crowd was welcomed by W. H. Spake, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. The school children under the direction of Miss Ames sang appropriate songs, and were followed by the Liederkranz in a male chorus. Prof. Walker of the high school delivered the address, treating the subject in a sensible and thoroughly clearheaded manner. The professor's address will be found in another column. Mrs. Christionson's class won the prize for greatest percentage of children in line. Miss Parker's class was second. A large crowd witnessed the contests of skill between school children at Athletic park which filled in the afternoon. Many trees were planted about the school grounds and along public thoroughfares. The fifty yard race for boys under 12 was won by Jesse Thayer. Another race for a bunch of boys under 12 was won by Art Hemmerling.

Admiral Byrd and all of his men will receive medals voted by Congress, the design of which is shown here. Francis H. Packer of Rockville Center, N.Y., is the designer. Hints For the Home To make jellied prunes, first cook the prunes as usual. Wash half a pound of plump prunes and soak them overnight in water to cover. Simmer until tender in the same water. Remove the stones and chop or cut the fruit very fine. Soak 2 tablespoons or one envelope of gelatin in ½ cup of cold water. Add 2 cups boiling water and stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Add 1 cup of sugar, ¼ cup of lemon juice, ½ teaspoon salt, and the cooked chopped prunes. Stir until well blended. Chill, stirring occasionally until the fruit is well mixed. When set, serve with whipped cream. The pulp of one orange may be added if desired. Biscuit dough is useful in many ways other than for hot bread. Fruit shortcakes of fresh or stewed fruits, chicken shortcake, crust for meat pie or fruit cobbler suggest some of these uses. Sweetened and spiced, with raisins or nuts or both added, biscuit dough is bunch of boys under 12 was won by Art Hemmerling.

The establishment of a Carnegie library was favorably discussed at length at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on Monday evening at which Messrs. Spake, Boege, Armstrong, Yungbluth, McCollum and Cailor were present. For the maintenance of a $10,000 library an annual tax of $700 would be required from the city. This would be used for a building and its furnishings, etc. Messrs. Cailor and Clabaugh were appointed a committee to investigate the matter and report. The securing of this library would be a great benefit to the people and the committee should be given every encouragement by our people. L. Nimetz showed us yesterday a passport issued to him by the Turkish government forty-five years ago when he went to that country to look for his brothers whom he had not heard from in years. The brothers subsequently came to the United States and were killed while fighting under Gen. Siegel in the Civil war. Roman Wisser is negotiating with C. R. Spoerl for the erection of a brick building on Center street to be occupied by his cafe. Mr. Wisser has been in his present location thirteen years and finds it necessary to find another location owing to the sale of the building. Nine and 95 hundreds inches of rain has fallen this season, according to Mr. Dickel's guage, as against 10.67 to date last year. The country never looked better and record-breaking harvests are looked for. Grass is more plentiful than for years and large beet, grain and fruit crops are assured. Johnny Cleveland, son of Mrs. Julius Schneider was married in Los Angeles on Sunday to Miss Margarette White, a popular young lady of that city. The newly wedded couple will make their home in San Bernardino, where Johnny has a position with a telephone company. Frank Baum has purchased from John Schaefer a lot 67½ feet front on Los Angeles street near the Presbyterian church, paying $1000 therefor and another from Gerald Sandilands on Lemon street for $400. He has sold for Miss Annie Irwin her building lot on Emily street to Emanuel Gonzales for $150. O. S. Davis has traded his shoe store to Wm. Heying the latter turning over to him his poolroom and bowling alley and paying $3000 in cash.

The former will conduct the bowling and pool business while the latter will in future give his attention to shoes. The two story Davis residence which has stood on Center street for thirty years is being jacked up preparatory to being moved to the farm of L. A. Evans in West Anaheim. The building replaced another two-story which was destroyed by fire in the early 70's. Each was erected by P. Davis, now of San Francisco, and each was in its time one of the handsomest homes between Los Angeles and San Diego. The Methodist church was crowded last Sunday night to listen to the temperance address delivered by Rev. F. W. Mitchell. Work on the enlargement of the church will begin Monday. Two rooms 16x24 and 12x12 will be added on the north side; handsome pews will be installed. Contractor Lagman will do the building and J. L. Abbott will paint the entire building inside and out. M. L. Rogers who goes north to reside shortly, entertained a number of his friends at an elaborate farewell dinner at the Lankershim hotel in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening. Local people invited were Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Rust, Mr. and Mrs. George McKinley and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Melrose. W. A. Frantz and family arrived yesterday from Redlands. Mr. Frantz will go into business here. We are glad to note the return of this enterprising young rustler. The school trustees have purchased of C. Selbernagel an acre of land in rear of and adjoining the high school grounds. Consideration $600. Dr. Wm. Freeman was over from Fullerton on Monday. The doctor will next Tuesday celebrate his fortyth anniversary of his graduation as a practicing physician and will have as his guests the Orange County Medical society. WHAT DR. CALDWELL LEARNED IN 47 YEARS PRACTICE A physician watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipation will occur from time to time. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for constipation, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the system and is not habit forming. Syrup Pepsin is pleasant tasting, and youngsters love it. Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drastic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for anybody's system. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when Syrup Pepsin will empty the bowels just as promptly. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement. Do not sit and hope, but go to the nearest druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, or write "Syrup Pepsin," Dept. BB, Monticello, Illinois, for free trial bottle. Anaheim, Calif., Feb. 19, 1931 transformed into tea cakes. Pinwheel buns are made by sprinkling the surface of the rolled dough with sugar, cinnamon, nuts, and raisins, and then rolling it up, to be cut across like jelly roll. Sprinkle the tops of the pinwheels with more granulated sugar and bake. Apple betty and others made with fruit are usually popular with the family and are easy to prepare. Mix soft bread crumbs from the center of the loaf with enough melted butter to moisten, and place them in alternate layers with fruit, spices, and sugar in a baking dish. Serve hot or cold, with or without cream or hard sauce or custard. Aprieets, prunes, and, in season, rhubarb, make especially good "bottles." Guardian of the Family "My father, who is past 75, shares our bottle of Syrup Pepsin with his little great-granddaughter aged three. And when I feel constipated, with headache and biliousness, I also get my share of Syrup Pepsin. We would as soon think of being without salt and sugar as not to have a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in the house." (Name and address will be furnished upon request) Constipation Always a Danger "Always something," says mother. "Billiousness, sour stomach, headache, colds, fevers—you never know when or what." Syrup Pepsin is mother's safeguard. Sweetens stomach, moves bowels; children recover like magic. No wonder mothers everywhere know and trust Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It is the guardian of the family's health. Sweet, stirry—children and old people love it. Mild, yet thorough in action. Sudden colds, fevers, headache—conditions responsible for nearly all disease—a dore of Syrup Pepsin and all fear is gone. Once in the home every mother says—"I keep it always on hand." Every druggist calls Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. For a free trial bottle send name and address to Pepas Syrup Company, Monticello, Illinois. Atwater Kent FEARN— The Set With the Golden Voice 113 So.
