IN THE DAYS OF LOC Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a CentuAuthentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citzens of Anaheim and Oran- 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 19, 1881 Six cases of wine and brandy made at Lucky Baldwin's ranch Santa Anita were recently purchased for her British majesty, Queen Victoria. Mr. Ance Givin is willing to risk his reputation as a farmer that the crops will be larger this year than in 1880. The last rains, he says, made that a certainty. Mr. Henry G. Monks has sold the Monk's tract, Rancho San Pascual 1880 acres, to Messrs. J. H. Painter and B. F. Ball, for $29,000—a fraction over $15 per acre. Rev. P. B. King will preach (D. V.) in the Presbyterian church tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. Sunday school to which all, young and old are invited at 9:45 a.m. every Sabbath. Mr. Adolph Rimpau has returned from a trip through San Diego county. The recent rains have revived the crops there and the prospect for a large yield of grain is very good. B. F. Porter of San Fernando offers to give one thousand acres of land and one thousand sacks of barley every year for the next fine years, provided the normal school is located at San Fernando. Mrs. Cline and his sister Mrss. Lydia Parker, will open a millinery store in Riverside during the early part of next month. They will carry a large stock of all the new and fashionable articles in the millinery line. 25 YEA A. Pierotti was in the country never leaconfronts everybody. Mrs. H. A.

The contract for re-building the flume on the Cajon ditch blown down some time ago, was awarded to Mr. Stoel of Los Angeles at $4.90 for every thousand feet of lumber. The flume is to be completed on the last of April. The "Norther" was quite severe in Los Angeles on Saturday night. Among the things which could not stand the pressure was the front of a blacksmith shop on Aliso street, the flagstaff of the U. S. hotel and signs innumerable. Brother Barnes, the G. M. W. of the A. O. U. W., is a versatile genuis. He is ready at a moment's notice to sing a comic song, spout Hamlet, deliver a temperance lecture, lead the choir or preach a sermon. It is hard to say in which role he excels. The American Cash store has been removed to Metz hall, which, being more commodious than the former store will enable the proprietors to arrange their large stock of goods more effectively. They call special attention to their large stock of hats, straw, wool, cashmere, wool and fur, panama, leghorn, cork, broadrim, etc. Governor Perkins has signed the Branch Normal School Bill, notwithstanding the efferts made to have him veto it. It is even said that some of the representatives who voted for the bill tried to influence the Governor to pocket it. But such sneaking tacticss will never win with an honest, frank, courageous executor like Governor Perkins. We quote briefly the story of the Russian tragedy: As the Czar of Russia, accompanied by Grand Duke Michael and an escort of Cossacks was driving in the Imperial carriage on Sunday afternoon, a glass bomb, loaded with nitro-glycerine was thrown against the carriage from among a crowd of bystanders. The back part of the carriage was shattered and some of the escort injured. The Czar and his brother alighted unhurt, but as they were a few paces from the carriage a second bomb was at the Czar's feet, accomplishing its purpose. He was fearfully mangled and in an hour and a half after the attack Russia had a new ruler. The two men who threw the bombs were arrested. They are young, of good birth and nihilists. There is mourning in Russia where the Czar was much beloved by the common people and the army. It was his mandate which twenty years ago freed twenty-three million seafs.

The officers elected for the ensuing term were: Mrs. R. J. Northam, president; Miss Clemmie Schmidt, vice-president; Mrs. F. J. J. Schmidt, secretary; Mrs. B. F. Seibert, treasurer; Mr. Adolph Rimpau, sergeant-at-arms. A meeting will be held at the same place at 8 o'clock next Wednesday evening at which by-laws will be adopted. All absentee members will be fined twenty-five cents. The objects of the club are the mental and physical culture of the members. Mental culture will be inculcated by theatrical, literary and musical entertainments, and the physique of the members will be built up and strengthened by severe yet pleasant exercise upon the floor of some large hall, the labor being lightened by the combined efforts of three musicians stationed in one corner of the hall out of harm's way. As the name of the club denotes, the curtain will figuratively speaking, rise at 8 o'clock and the lights will be promptly turned out at midnight. The first party will be given on the first Friday after Lent. The details have not yet been arranged. All the streets in Anaheim have been made to appear so presentable that the question of further improvement of our streets and avenues naturally presents itself. The money expended in this way is used most profitably, for not only is the pleasure and comfort of every tax payer enhanced by having smooth and level roadbeds to travel over, but the impression made upon strangers is most favorable; and now it is about time to think of beautifying the highways within the corporate limits, and the trustees could do no better thing then plant shade trees on each side of a few principal streets. Every town which is so beautiful makes a lasting impression upon visitors. For instance Riverside can not be the topic of conversation without mention being made of its tree lined avenue, and when Oakland is spoken of its shaded streets come in for the greatest need of praise. A few hundred dollars spent every year by the trustees in an improvement of this kind would in a few years add so much to the attractiveness of the place that everyone would acknowledge that the money was well expended. It is not too late to make a beginning this season and if the Trustees view the matter favorably they might hold a special session and appoint a committee to carry out the suggestions made in this paragraph. OF LONG AGO A Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 22, 1906 A. Pierotti was in town from Placentia on Tuesday. He says the country never looked finer and that a prosperous season confronts everybody. Mrs. H. A. McWilliams has been elected a delegate from the local Rebekah lodge to the grand lodge which meets shortly in San Francisco. Mrs. Strodthoff has purchased from D. Bastenchury several lots on Lemon street near Sycamore, and will shortly begin the erection of an residence. John Risk's new building east of the city hall is finished to the second story and presents a fine appearance. The building is of artificial stone and will have plate glass front. Tilman Bush, father of John Bush of this city died at Lamanda Park, March 15. Deceased was born in Kentucky, Feb. 16, 1827. He can to California in 1874 and has resided here continuously to the time of his death. E. P. Fowler has traded his 180-acre walnut ranch, three and a half miles southwest of this city for a four-story Chicago rooming house, the ranch going for a valuation of $100,000. Fowler pays $60,000 cash in addition. Dr. Edward D. Stoddard is the new owner of the ranch.

They defeated the Tufts-Lyen nine Sunday by a score of 8 to 6 and the visitors got all their runs in the eighth inning, after it began to look as if they were going to be shut out. Sixty-seven and one hundredth of an inch of rain fell on Wednesday and Thursday of last week bringing the total, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge to 13.50 last year, to date the total amounted to 14.68. The country continues in ideal condition, the rains having been followed by ideal weather. Yesterday was cloudy and showers fell at intervals. Prospects last night were good for more rain. Three landmarks are being removed from Center street to make way for brick buildings. The first is the Davis residence built 35 years ago, and which will give way for the new Stivdthoff building. The second is the Bauer shop built 30 years ago, and which will be replaced by R. Wisser’s new building. The third is the brick wall built by A. Langenburger forty years ago and which was torn down this week to make way for Spake & McCollum’s new brick structure. From the Riverside Press—The following item appeared in the last issue of the Anaheim Gazette: “Editor Clark of the Riverside Press is a candidate for the republican nomination for state treasurer, to succeed Truman Reeves; who declines re-election.” We presume that most people who might see this would understand that it is one of Editor Kuchel’s little jokes. But lest anyone might misunderstand it we will say that Editor Clark of the Riverside Press is not a candidate for state treasurer or any other office. Does the Gazette man think for a minute that we hanker after living in Sacramento? Some one is always insisting that the average rainfall of Southern California is getting less very year; but statistics do not bear out this claim. A record was kept by the mission padres at San Luis Rey, and while incomplete, shows this country had its dry years even a century ago as shown below: 1787, rainfall insufficient, crops shorts. 1791, dry, no rain the whole year; 1794, rainfall light, crops short: 1795, very dry: 1819, 1827, 1832, short in rain and crops. Dry and wet years come and go, but it is probable that for the last century there has been no great variation in the average rainfall. The total is bound to grow less however, if we continue to denude the mountains of their forest growth. Voters will have no difficulty in selecting material for city trustee from the fine bunch of candidates whose names will appear upon the ticket. It seemed difficult at first to prevail for the dignified office but when the neighborhood. He says: “Put those people back to work and that ends the unemployment problem in your vicinity.

Voters will have no difficulty in selecting material for city trustee from the fine bunch of candidates whose names will appear upon the ticket. It seemed difficult at first to prevail upon citizens to stand for the dignified office, but when the bell taps a fine lot of colts will start in the municipal sweepstakes. For the four-year term, there are C. O. Rust, Louis Fletcher, Julius Schneider, Louis Kroeger, Joseph Fiscus, J. H. Clabaugh. For the two-year term: Godfrey Stock and Max Nebelung are candidates. For marshal: N. F. Steadman and H. G. Speilman will make the race. City clerks: Merrit had his Indian sign on all prospective opponents and will consequently canter over the course unopposed. He is in sight of the money. For treasure: Two financial heavyweights. John Hartung and Joseph Helmsen, will be in the race. There is good material here for the office and city finances will be safe in the hands of either. A. F. Darling of San Francisco, who forty years ago was in charge of the first company organized to bore for oil in Southern California arrived in town on Monday and was for several days a guest of old-time friends. The company of which Mr. Darling was superintendent was organized in San Francisco and was called the Santa Ana Petroleum company. George Hearst, afterwards United States senator, and father of W. R. Hearst, was one of the stockholders, as was Don Abel Stearns. Mayor Max Strobel of this city was also associated in the enterprise. A well was drilled in Brea canyon, within a stone's throw of the big wells of the Murphy Oil company, now the largest producing oil wells in the state. The original well was bored to a depth of 650 feet, when operations were abandoned. It had been the purpose of the company to build a railroad from Brea canyon to Anaheim Landing to transport oil to tide-water and thence to San Francisco by vessel. In that year (1866) California experienced its first "oil boom," and seventy wells were bored in different parts of the state. Work upon each one ceased about the time operations were suspended in Brea canyon. Twenty-five years latter Burdett Chandler took up the work again and achieved no little success. But was not until the past five years that the big strikes in oil were made in the same location prospected by Mr. Darling forty years ago. Of course your baby probably has one or two "party" dresses made of fine cotton mull or handkerchief linen with dainty hand work and a bit of fine face. But most of the time all he needs by way of a dress is a very simple thin white cotton slip, made with roomy sleeves and armholes, so that there will be no trouble getting it on or off. To make a slip dress of this sort, you will need no special pattern. Simply measure off twice as much thin cotton material as the desired length of the dress. Cut a small circle in the center of the folded edge for the neck, and then cut out the material on either side to make the side seams of the skirt and the sleeves. The small diagram shows how this should be done, the measurements depending on the size of the baby and the length desired. The daytime slip may be done up at the back or the front, and for this you should make a four or five inch slash from the neck down the center of the back or the front of the slip. To make that sort of night gown, you may use the same pattern, with a front Anaheim, Calif., March 12, 1931 666 Is a doctor's Prescription for COLDS and HEADACHES It is the most speedy remedy known 666 also in Tablets.
