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 Citzens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 11, 1881 Goodman & Rimpau yesterday received three large cases of dress goods, flannels, etc. Call and see their stock. L. E. Fish, the patentee of the G. M. C. Gas Machine is now constructing several machines of large capacity for the use of parties in Los Angeles. A cinnamon bear and two cubs were seen on a sheep ranch four miles west of Cahuenga Pass the other day. This is important to those who have lost any bear. The railroad company have consented to reduce the rate between Anaheim and Los Angeles during the Fair week in Stptember one-third, so that the fare during that week will be $1 each way. This county will be called upon to supply the military forts of Arizona with 100 tons of hay and 10,000 centals of barley. The contractors get $12.50 per ton for the hay and 86 cents per cental for the barley. The apron and necktie party of the "8 to 12" club, has been postponed until Saturday, June 18th. A special meeting of the lady members of the club will be held on Wednesday afternoon at half past two at Planters hotel. A meeting of citizens will be held in Kroeger's hall this evening at 8 o'clock to take steps to have a Fourth of July celebration. If everyone will take hold of the matter with a proper vim, the result will be a celebration which will eclipse anything of the kind heretofore attempted.

The whole number of children under 17 years of age in Anaheim school district, according to the census marshal's report is 442. The number between 5 and 17 is 336—seven less than last year. The number between 5 and 17 who have attended school at any time during the year is 233. The programme for the meeting of Anaheim Lodge A. O. U. W. on next Monday evening is: Reading by Mr. Cowan; Duet by Messrs. Grimshaw and Leonard; declamation by Mr. Ferdon and a quartette by Messrs. Grimshaw, Leonard, Seibert and Cowan. One hundred votes were polled at the election for school trustee on Saturday of which Mr. W. M. Bailey received ninety-six. A notice was issued by Mr. Saxton early in the afternoon in which he declined to have his name used and giving his reasons. Richard Melrose was re-elected assessor and collector, there being no opposition. Riverside desires to be incorporated and has petitioned the board of supervisors to call an election under the law of 1856. Anaheim was at one time incorporated under this law, but serious questions were raised as to its legality and it was found politic to have the legislature pass a special law legalizing the acts of the trustees. The same legislature also passed the act of incorporation under which Anaheim is now working. Gentle reader, when you pick up the Gazette this morning don't forget that you are persuuing the official paper of the Los Angeles county, the contract for the county advertising having been awarded to this paper by the Board of Supervisors. The subscription price will remain the same $2.50 a year. Now is the time to subscribe if you wish to "keep the run" of the exciting serials prepared especially for this paper by the supervisors. One can see in a glass showcase at the postoffice, a fine specimen of the Navel orange, one of the first fruits of a young orange tree in Mr. E. A. Saxton's orchard. It is fourteen inches in circumference and weighs twenty ounces. A cluster of three oranges from the same tree weighed 2 pounds 10½ ounces. The circumference of the largest orange in the cluster was 13 inches and of the smallest 11½ inches. The noticeable feature in these oranges, aside from their size, is their solidity. Oranges of equal size, of different varities, are not scare, but the navel variety seems to be more "meaty" and weighty than other kinds. An assessment of $2 per share upon the capital stock of the Anaheim Water Company has been levied, payable on or before July 6th. Notice of intention to change Article VII of the by-laws of the company was given on Saturday. The proposed amendment An assessment of $2 per share upon the capital stock of the Anaheim Water Company has been levied, payable on or before July 6th. Notice of intention to change Article VII of the by-laws of the company was given on Saturday. The proposed amendment does away with the salaries of the Directors and reads as follows: "The Board of Directors shall receive no compensation for their services; but the Secretary of the Board shall receive for his services the sum of $15 per month." The amendment will come up before a future general meeting of the stockholders. A general meeting of stockholders will be held on next Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Bessie Lawrence was complimented with a very large attendance on the occasion of her concert, on Thursday evening. The musical abilities of one gifted townswoman are fully recognized by her neighbors and friends as is shown by the substantial encouragement she receives when she appears upon the stage. She never sang better, or looked better, than on Thursday night. Her voice, in power, and sweetness, is not excelled by that of any professional in the state, and it would seem as if the proper place for Mrs. Lawrence is the operatic stage where fame and fortune would speedily come to her. Misses Rosa Davis, Mary Cowan, Nellie Bancroft, Katie Hilmer and Hattie Mendelson, all pupils of Mrs. Lawrence, performed the parts assigned to them in a manner which showed careful training and natural ability. The graduation exercises of Friday night of last week attracted an attendance which completely filled Kroeger's hall. The pupils had decorated the hall during the day with flowers and evergreens, and the effect of the decorations and the presence of such a large number of people was an inspiration to the class. The programme of exercises was as follows: Song—"The Old School Bell," by the graduating class. Essay—"Clouds," by Miss Portia Cowan. Song—"Sweet Summer Wind," by Prof. Fink's singing class. Essay—"Soap," by Miss Fannie Higgins. Song—"Uncle Sam's School," by pupils of Anaheim school. Essay—"Education," by Miss Mary Cowan. Recess for refreshments. Essay—"Hope," by Miss Sallie Hilmer. Address by Prof. J. M. Guinn, and presentation of diplomas closed the evening. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 14, 1906 Louis Denni left on Monday for a trip to his old home in Switzerland.

Fred will visit the beaches and take life easy before returning to the territory. Frank Dyer distinguished himself at the Landing on Sunday by swimming to the assistance of Fred Conrad, who asked for help while attempting to swim the channel. The latter would probably have been drowned had he not been taken ashore. Accompanied by Fred Schneider the two set out to swim across the channel. When half way across Conrad gave out and Schneider went to his assistance. Dyer was called for, he being an experienced swimmer, and after Schneider disengaged himself from Conrad's hold, he brought the latter safely to the beach. Later in the day Dyer again distinguished himself by saving a man and a boy who were in imminent peril of drowning by swimming to their assistance and bringing them ashore. The youth clung to his father's neck and the two would probably have been lost but for Dyer's timely arrival. High school students acquitted themselves creditably at the class play "She Stoops to Conquer," at the operahouse on Wednesday evening last. They had applied themselves diligently to the task before them and had the services of a Los Angeles tutor in the dramatic instruction.
