IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 21, 1881 Ice is selling in Los Angeles for 1 cent a pound. Competition between the local factory and a San Francisco firm is the cause of the low price. The county maps, for sale at the Gazette office are going off like hot cakes. They are sold at fifty cents each, just half what has been charged heretofore. Mr. E. M. Ferguson, the druggist, is finding a great sale for his "Orange Laxative" and "Beef, Wine and Iron Tonic," judging from the quantity of labels we print for him. J. D. Parker, who lives near Orange has been enjoying ripe apricots for two weeks or more. He has several trees which he raised from seed procured in San Jose eight years ago. Riverside Press.—Rev. R. Strong of Westminster arrived yesterday to attend the association. His country produces large quantities of apples and pears. His apple trees netted him last season $5 each and his pear trees $4 each. There are 139.48 miles of railroad in Los Angeles county, and at the rate of valuation placed upon it by the State Board of Equalization ($16,500 per mile) the railroad company will pay into the state treasury the amount of the tax on $2,301,420. Mrs. Breed, for some years teacher in Anaheim Public schools left here on Tuesday for Washington, D.C., where a position in the Treasury department awaits her. Mr. Raney of Westminster has been engaged to fill her place in the school for the balance of the term.

Mr. Raney of Westminster has been engaged to fill her place in the school for the balance of the term. Visitors to Anaheim Landing will find Mr. Jacob Walker always ready to make their stay a pleasant one. He has moved into new quarters and now sells beer and lemonade at five cents a glass, and a good lunch for 10 cents. Give him a call when you visit the seaside. Mr. D. M. Harwood of Orange has promised to embody his views and experiences in citrus fruit culture into an essay which he will read at some future meeting of the Anaheim Horticultural and Viticultural society. Mr. Gilman's essay on orange culture will probably be published next week. The Adventist tent was rolled up on Wednesday, and Anaheim was abandoned to its fate. It grieves us to learn that the gentlemen who preached in the tabernacle leave us with a firm belief that the Sodom and Gomonah of ancient times have a counterpart in the Anaheim of today. Mrs. Horace Dibble, the young wife of a druggist at Santa Ana was frightfully burned on Sunday morning when she poured coal oil in her kitchen stove to start the fire. The doctors say it is a question if she will live or die. If she survives she will, they say, most probably be a helpless cripple. In its appropriate place will be found the announcement of the marriage of the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Luedke. The young lady has lived here since childhood, and her friends in Anaheim unite in wishing her a happy wedded life.—Married: In San Francisco, May 18th, Ivan Soboleffew to Miss Olga Luedke. The railroad pile-driver which has been in use on the now completed bridge a cross the Rio Grande near El Paso, arrived in Los Angeles yesterday morning, and was at once sent down to Wilmington where active operations on the extension of the railway line to deep water will be at once commenced. A force of men are now engaged in saturating the piles with asphaltum. A remarkably neat piece of workmanship in the shape of a carriage top has been turned out by the Messrs. A. E. and E. A. White. Not only is the workmanship of superior execution, but the shape and general ensemble is graceful and striking. The manner in which the irons are fastened to the frame confirms the reputation which Mr. White has gained of being a first-class blacksmith. Mountain View is the name of the school district recently formed east of Orange. Following is the roll of honor for the month ending May 6th—Katie Parker, 99; Nellie Sibley, 99; Abner Wood, 99; Nancy Camfield, 99; Freddie Caldwell, 98; Ida Parker, 96; Frank Goodwin, 96; Cora Parker, 100.

He had been living in Santa Ana for the past year or two but about a week ago it was thought advisable to remove him to Orange, and his death occurred in the hotel at that place. He will be interred in the Anaheim cemetery by the side of his wife. The body will be brought here about ten o'clock this morning and friends of former years are invited to accompany the remains to their last resting place. The following item will encourage the carp breeders of Westminster: "The rapidity with which carp multiply may be learned from the fact that Mr. Wilkinson of San Bernardino, put six of them into his pond two years ago, and he now has two large ponds thoroughly stocked with this variety of fine food fish. They range from young ones a few inches long to large well developed fellows of twenty inches in length. It is estimated that the two ponds contain from ten to twelve thousand specimens, large and small. It is not too soon to direct ones thoughts to the Fourth of July and the manner of its celebration. Cannot a public celebration be had in Anaheim this Fourth, in which the contiguous towns could be induced to join? Besides the exercises usual on the day, it has been suggested that a display of fireworks in the evening would prove an attraction. These exhibition pieces, as they are called by the makers of fireworks don't cost very much and we do not doubt that if some one would circulate a subscription paper, sufficient money could be collected to purchase a very fine supply." OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Records of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 24, 1906 W. F. Steadman has been ill during the week with a bad attack of asthma. Mr. Elizabeth Jewell of Lexington, Neb., is here on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. George Potter. Miss Julia Nemetz and Miss Nomie McWilliams were two pretty girls bound for the Fiesta on Tuesday evening's train. The Misses Klein, sisters of Mrs. Peter Weisel, Jr., who have been visiting here for some weeks past departed some days ago for their home in Milwaukee. The Anaheim ball team again defeated the Santa Ana team on Sunday, the score being 17to 0. The local boys will shortly take on one of the Los Angeles teams. Frank Tausch is manager. Mrs. Susan L. Beebe and her daughter, Miss Susie Beebe departed on Tuesday for an extended visit to points east. They will stop in Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota and will be absent until cold weather. Schools were out on Tuesday to permit the children to attend the Fiesta. Several carloads of children went to Los Angeles on that day, and in numerous instances their papas and mamas went along with them. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baum, Mr. and Mrs. Andy Fuhrberg, Mr. and Mrs. A. Nagel and son, and Mr. and Mrs. Julius Schneider were among the number visiting Los Angeles on Tuesday to see the Fiesta.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank Baum, Mr. and Mrs. Andy Fuhrberg, Mr. and Mrs. A. Nagel and son, and Mr. and Mrs. Julius Schneider were among the number visiting Los Angeles on Tuesday to see the Fiesta. Miercoles club was entertained by Mrs. McCollum on Wednesday when a very pleasant afternoon was spent at progressive euchre. The first prize was won by Miss Marie Nicolas, the second by Mrs. Jones and the consolation by Mrs. Owens. Frank Borth and Miss Elsie Clabaugh, popular young folks, will be married at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Clabaugh on Wednesday afternoon, June 6th. Mr. Borth holds a responsible position with the Standard Oil company and has hosts of friends who feticitate him upon winning a prize in the matrimonial lottery. School Trustee Clabaugh furnishes figures showing another reason for the falling off of the number of census school children in this district. The decrease being due to a loss of 84 census children at the orphanage. The figures are as follows: Census children in district in 1905, 585; in orphanage, 136, total 721. Census children in districts in 1906, 592; in orphanage 52, total 684. A mission of the Jesuit Fathers is in progress this week at St. Boniface Catholic church and the services are being largely attended. Rev. Father J. Miller of San Jose and Rev. Father J. Mulligan of San Francisco are concluding the mission, the former preaching in the German language and the latter in English. Rev. Father Hereria is conducting a mission at Yorba in the Spanish language and will be here next week. Adolph Rimpau offers an explanation of the decrease in census school children in this district as compared with last year which seems to furnish a solution of the falling off. Returns from the entire county show a gain of 1127 children between the ages of 5 and 17 years. Anaheim reports a considerable falling off. This is due, in Mr. Rimpau's opinion to the absence of Mexican families in the beet fields of Los Alamitos and Talbert. He says there must be at least twenty families engaged in thinning beets. One thing is undeniable and that is that the city has increased in population during the year and the reported falling off in the number of census school children is a puzzle. Perhaps Mr. Rimpau's explanation will serve to clear the matter up. Anaheim encampment No. 105, I. O. O. F. was organized on Saturday afternoon and evening with a charter membership of thirteen. Thirty candidates were initiated during the evening making the membership roll 43. The following officers were elected: Henry M. Adams, chief patriarch; Oliver Hill, high priest; Herman Stern, senior warden; Fritz Yungbluth junior warden; A. E. Schumacher, scribe; C. A. Boege, treasurer. The grand officers accompanied by the teams of Magnolia and Enterprise en-campment of Los Angeles and Laurel encampment of Santa Ana were present and installed the new lodge. An elaborate banquet was served by Chef Mills, who came from Los Angeles Boy Scout Plans For Summer Camp Christy T. Allen, district field executive, announces plans for a more extensive camping program than has yet been undertaken by the Orange county Boy Scout organization. First on the program is an event for special patrol leaders who will hold a session some week-end in May at Ro--Ki-Li. A total cost of $1.50 has been set for this outing, which will be a pre-summer camp pep session. Summer camping at Ro-Ki-Li starts June 15 and will continue for four seven-day periods for regular Scouts of the county. The cost of the Scouts will be $1 a day if the council furnishes transportation, but additional is added for round trip fare if not otherwise provided.

The Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce met on Monday evening: Present directors Spake, Yungbluth, Boege, Claybaugh, McCollum, Cailor, and Armstrong. During an informal discussion of the extension of the city limits, it was announced that the proposed enlargement is meeting with popular favor in the contiguous outside territory. One well known resident in the West end is heartily in favor of annexation. He is the employer of twenty men and says, they too, all favor the enlargement idea. The Chamber of Commerce will take up the matter with the citizens and use all honorable means to accomplish a greater city. A communication was received from Miss Elizabeth McAulay, caretaker of the exhibit room, stating she contemplated taking a position with the telephone company and simultaneously came an application from Mrs. Watson for the position of caretaker. It was moved and seconded that Mrs. Watson's application be accepted. The board of city trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening: Present Trustees Darling, Fiscus and Stock. Absent: Rust and Kroeger. Trustee Stock reported that an amicable adjustment had been arrived at between F. A. Korn and L. A. Evans regarding trees of the former damaged on West Broadway, by the moving of the latter's two story residence and suggested that the $100 bond heretofore executed by Evans to indemnify the city from all losses be returned to him. The board acquiesced, and the money was ordered returned to Evans.

The tenders are among the largest ever built and will be placed in service immediately upon delivery. They will be used to replace smaller tenders on existing locomotives in order to carry a greater supply of water and fuel, particularly water. The new equipment will eliminate a number of stops as well as facilitate the sprinkling of the road bed of the Union Pacific in the summer months which for several years has been a special feature of the transcontinental service.
