IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a C Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 8, 1881. Elijio Canisales was shot and killed by Manuel Manza at the Santa Anita ranch on Sunday. The two had a dispute over a game of cards. The coroner's jury acquitted Manza. There appears to be a great deal of dash about the talk of bringing ship and rail together at Wilmington, in view of the fact that Port-Admiral Banning is building four new lighters. We are sorry to announce the serious illness of D. K. Williams who is suffering from an attack of typhoid. His physician (Dr. Hardin) tells us that his patient though seriously ill may recover. Among our callers during the week was Mr. J. W. Love of Santa Ana, and as a momento of his visit left us an advertisement informing the people of Los Angeles county that he is agent for the California windmills. Mr. Seibert of the bank of Anaheim is about to establish a bank in Santa Ana. The vaults and safes have already been ordered, and the building in which the bank will be located will be erected as fast as possible. Mr. John Bach arrived from San Francisco over Sunday for the purpose of superintending the making of wine in his vineyards. T. C. Hull of the Westminister store is "once more to the front" with a fine new stock of goods just received and which is superior to any ever received at Westminister. Mr. R. H. Gilman had the misfortune to have his barn and contents destroyed by fire on Monday afternoon. Ten tons of hay and a set of harness were in the barn. The fire was only prevented from reaching his dwelling house by flooding the grounds about Mr. John Bach arrived from San Francisco over Sunday for the purpose of superintending the making of wine in his vineyards. T. C. Hull of the Westminster store is "once more to the front" with a fine new stock of goods just received and which is superior to any ever received at Westminister. Mr. R. H. Gilman had the misfortune to have his barn and contents destroyed by fire on Monday afternoon. Ten tons of hay and a set of harness were in the barn. The fire was only prevented from reaching his dwelling house by flooding the grounds about the burning barn with water from the ditch, which fortunately was on use at the time. We had a pleasant call on Thursday from Mr. O. J. Buck of Garden Grove, who was accompanied by his father, a new comer here having left Kansas a few months ago. We have a better opinion of the climate of Kansas since meeting Mr. Burk, as it is impossible for a man who looks as well as he does to live a climatically bad state and carry his seventy-five years as well. The Board of Supervisors met on Monday. The following tax levy for the fiscal year 1881-82 was adopted. On city property $1.38, and on county property, 12 cents additional for road purposes, making the total state and county taxes $1.50 on county property, and $1.38 on property located in Anaheim or Los Angeles. The city rate last year was $1.40 and county rate $1.50. Messrs A. W. Potts, E. H. Owen, Albert Rimpau and Griffith Johnston have formed a copartnership for the transaction of a general shipping and commission business in Los Angeles. The beginning of operations to be Nov. 1, 1881. The above gentlemen are well known and will make a strong team. They are abundantly responsible, and will attend to all business confided to their care with fidelity and good judgment. We learn that for several weeks past there has been a great deal of squatting on at the Ranchito. A short time since the Ranchito grant was confirmed at Washington. We believe that the grantee claimed some twelve thousand acres, but the patent only covers about nine thousand. The settlers have formed or believe they have formed the lines between the land concurred and that excluded from the grant and are staking out farms in a very lively manner. A. Fistie and Jaques Taix got into a dispute on Center street about 8:30 o'clock on last Tuesday evening, which soon developed into a free fight. Two or three blows were exchanged, when Fistie drew a knife and struck Taix three times on the head with it closed, implicating slight wounds. At this period the sheriff appeared and he together with several friends separated the two. Fistie preferred a charge of battery against Taix and the case was tried before a jury in Justice Bailey's court on Thursday morning, some eight or nine witnesses, French and Spanish were examined and the case submitted to the jury which returned a verdict of guilty. The judge fined the defendant $43—the amount of the costs. into a free fight.

The wine-making now going on in every vineyard furnishes employment to everybody who cares or will work and the scarcity of laborers a few weeks ago was a cause of great annoyance to those on whose vines the fully ripened grape clusters were not being improvved by the heat of the sum. But the first rush of the vintage season has passed, and the work is now going on comparatively smoothly. We hear that some grape growers haven been disappointed in the yield of their vines, but as their disappointment generally arises from the fact that their vineyards are yielding from two to ten tons of grapes more than they were expected to do, any great amount of sympathy is misplaced. It is too early yet to give any figures in regard to the vintage, but when the proper time arrives, we will gather and publish our annual statistics on the subject. The most, we find upon inquiry is fermenting thoroughly, and the quality of the wine made this year will be very superior. The Board of Town Trustees met on Wednesday. Mr. Miles reported that in accordance with the request of the board he had while at San Francisco, purchased a steam pump to take the place of the delapidated engine now used for pumping water. The pump boiler, and all necessary fixtures will cost $1000 and a guarantee has been given by the manufacturer that, running at half its capacity the pump will raise 50,000 gallons of water in ten hours. The arrival of the pump is daily expected. The action of Mr. Miles in the purchase of the pump was ratified by the board and the committee on public improvements was instructed to have the necessary excavations made for the reception of the pump. Mr. Corvan submitted an ordinance which he had received by mail from Mr. S. H. Slaught, which that gentleman desired the board to adopt. The ordiance granted Slaught a franchise for a street railroad. Action was postponed for sixty days by a vote of two to one. A petition signed by numerous citizens was received asking that the board take steps to prevent performances on Sundays within the town limits. The board instructed the marshal not to allow Sunday performances hereafter. A delegation Tuesday evening roads club in the Williams, Peter W. Westhoff, J. Adams, E. S. Going was called to merce.

Harold Pellegrin who is attending Occidental College in Los Angeles spent Saturday and Sunday with his folks. Fred Heying has refused an offer of $5500 for a lot near the First National Bank. Three years ago the lote was sold for $1500. Ground was broken on Tuesday for the new Hart brick building west of Wallaces grocery. The building will be occupied by E. Huenemyer as a restaurant. Henry Rinniker of Los Angeles has purchased through the Evans agency the ten acre Lee place at West Anaheim, paying them for it $2900. The purchaser will reside upon the place. Ramon Aguilar writes from Ferando renewing his subscription and sending regards to friends and acquaintances hereabout. Ramon is in the railroad service and is rapidly climbing up the ladder of success. Prof. N. B. Pierce advertises for sale ten acres of land northeast of Brookhurst station. This is the land formerly used by him as an experimental garden in connection with his pathological work and is a snap at $1500. J. N. Gillett, Republican candidate for governor will be in Anaheim on Wednesday next. He will be accompanied by 100 people in forty automobiles. The entire party will be entertained at luncheon at the Odd Fellows banquet room. Mrs. Elsie Passmore Hamrick of Olive, was united in wedlock in Los Angeles on Tuesday to Dr. John Durbin Thomas formerly of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. Tomato Season Is Now at Hand Best Single Food for A, B, C and G Vitamins, Says Bureau of Economics (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D. C.-Use all the tomatoes you can now and save the surplus for winter, is the suggestion of the Bureau of Home Economics of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which highly recommends them in the diet at all times. Good for Young and Old Tomatoes are one of the best single foods for supplying vitamins A, B, C and G. This rich supply of vitamins says the bureau, makes them almost invaluable to both children and adults, since it helps materially to prevent deficiency diseases and infections of the skin and mucus membranes, to maintain normal growth, and to stimulate the appetite. Tomatoes are rich also in the mineral salts essential for good nutrition. The bureau includes tomatoes in all its low-cost diaries, primarily because of their vitamin C content. They are especially valuable as a source of this unstable vitamin, since people so frequently eat them raw or lightly cooked. And even when canned or cooked for longer periods, their acid reaction tends to prevent destruction of this vitamin. Crop Large, Prices Low Tomatoes add interest, color and flavor to low-cost diets. A few cents spent for tomatoes may make a dull and unpleasant dish enjoyable. Tomatoes are low in price this year because of the large crop. Tomatoes lend themselves to an almost unlimited variety of combinations in cooking. They mix well with other vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, legumes, spaghetti, or eggs. In fact, in various forms, they can take their place in any Prof. N. B. Pierce advertises for sale ten acres of land northeast of Brookhurst station.

Mrs. Elsie Passmore Hamrick of Olive, was united in wedlock in Los Angeles on Tuesday to Dr. John Durbin Thomas formerly of Philadelphia. The happy couple will reside at the Passmore plantation at Olive. Stanley Falkinstein reached his fifth birthday on Saturday and in the afternoon had a number of his playmates at his home at a birthday party. After playing a number of games the little ones were served with ice cream, cake and cookies and all had a splendid time. Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung entertained Mrs. Yocum of Los Angeles and her daughter, Mrs. Othman Stevens wife of the well known newspaper man some days ago. Mrs. Yocum and her daughter formerly resided here where her daughter, Miss Libbie Yocum was one of the reigning belles of the locality. She is still a woman of striking loveliness and along with her mother met many former acquaintances who were delighted to see them. A. Nagel on Friday purchased the 75-foot Federman lot at the corner of Claudina and Center streets, paying $4,000 therefor. On Monday morning he said he would not take $6,000 for it. Mr. Nagel has under consideration the construction of a two story brick building. The lower story to be occupied by him as a hardware store. Congressman S. C. Smith addressed a large meeting at the opera house on Friday evening when he opened the campaign with a ringing speech. Mr. Smith is popular in Orange county and has been promised a majority of 2,000. The best looking crop of candidates ever seen in this city were at the meeting, among being “Bry” Williams, Cal. D. Lester, George Peters, George Smith, W. G. Potter, Johnny Lamb and S. O. Walker. Winners entertained a large assembly of friends at their picnic and athletic carnival at Columbia Garden on Sunday afternoon. The athletic contests were under the supervision of Fred Gruenemay, Fritz Martin and Prof. Wm. Kenberg and were superior to any seen at the gardens in a long time. The city band played the music for the dancing in the pavilion. Refreshments were served and an enjoyable afternoon participated in. The water board at its meeting on Saturday finally approved Engineer Kellogg’s plans and specifications for the Yorba reservoir by a vote of 5 to 2, and therupon instructed him to begin forthwith its construction. Thie step the company has had under consideration for fifteen years. It has been an issue at annual elections, and while it had strong supporters, its enemies have been successful in deferring its construction until the vast body of irrigators on the south side of the district rose up and demanded that it be constructed. Engineer Kellogg presented plans and specifications for the Yorba reservoir showing a total cost of $27,548.95 for the dam. Crop Large, Prices Low Tomatoes add interest, color and flavor to low-cost diets. A few cents spent for tomatoes may make a dull and unpalatable dish enjoyable. Tomatoes are low in price this year because of the large crop. Tomatoes lend themselves to an almost unlimited variety of combinations in cooking. They mix well with other vegetables, meat, fish, cheese, legumes, spaghetti, or eggs. In fact, in various forms, they can take their place in any course of a meal, beginning with the tomato juice cocktail and going through the soup, entree, vegetable, relish, salad and ending with the dessert—which might be a green tomato pie. Time for Green Tomatoes Now is the time to use the last tomatoes ripening on the vines and to put up any surplus for future use. When frost comes, if it comes, gather the green tomatoes. It may be well to check over your supply and see whether you can utilize the last of the crop to best advantage canned, in catsup, or in chill sauce. Green tomatoes suggest pickles, though there are other ways of using them. Store the largest and best in a cool dark place for ripening. One good practice is to wrap each tomato in paper; much after the fashion in which they come to market in winter. Be sure, however, to see that the tomatoes have no blemishes or they will rot quickly. Green tomatoes may be served for the table in a number of ways—stewed in creamed soup, fried, sauteed, in pie, and in marinateade. Mincemeat made from green tomatoes utilizes the tart, fall apples and makes excellent pie. Ripen In Dark Places Green tomatoes are not as good a source of vitamins as ripe ones, but they contain sufficient nutriment to make them worth while. Tomatoes ripened in a dark place after being removed from the vine are richer in vitamin C than green ones, although they do not compare as favorably with those ripened on the vines. If picked green, tomatoes gradually develop vitamin C as they ripen. The Bureau of Home Economics has other information on the utilization of ripe and green tomatoes, which it will send free. (Several tomato recipes will be found in this issue of The Gazette under the heading, "Hints for the Home.") The water board at its meeting on Saturday finally approved Engineer Kellogg's plans and specifications for the Yorba reservoir by a vote of 5 to 2, and therupon instructed him to begin forthwith its construction.

A delegation of good road enthusiasts drove to Fullerton on Tuesday evening to attend a meeting called to organize a good roads club in that city. In the party were O. M. Skinner, Capt. Williams, Peter Weisel, Herman Dickel, W. H. Spake, J. B. Rae, W. Westhoff, John Resh, John Hartung, Merton Skinner, Henry Adams, E. S. Goble, Edgar Hartung and Henry Kuchel. The meeting was called to order by President Kerr of the Chamber of Commerce. Morris Ray acted as secretary. The formation of a good roads club was discussed by Messrs. Kerr, W. T. Brown, E. K. Benchley, Wm Starbuck, E. J. Marks and others of Fullerton. Henry Kuchel being requested for his views upon the subject referred the historical interest attaching to El Camino Real, of which the good roads clubs are an outgrowth as well as the practical latter day value attaching to good roads. El Camino Real will, in his opinion be one of the most valuable of our assets, and will direct attention hither from all parts of the world. W. H. Spake and J. B. Rae referred to the importance of good roads and the interest taken in the subject throughout Southern California. C. C. Chapman arrived late but made up for it by delivering a splendid address upon the mode of building up a community. We have in this section the equal if not the superior of any similar area in Southern California yet values here are lower than elsewhere. We have the most diverse resources, yet the cheapest land. The cause for this is in large part attributed to bad roads. Los Angeles automobilists have maps, he said, showing the good roads throughout Southern California as well as the bad ones, and they tell travelers which roads to take and which to avoid. Do you wonder so few ever come here to see us, he said if the farmers had not raised $5,000 to repair the road leading from Place to Fullerton it would have been impossible for them to reach the town. The road between Fullerton and Anaheim was one of the worst in the county. He was glad to see the interest taking in good roads by the visiting delegation and hoped the two communities would get along harmoniously for the common good. Postmaster Tressler passed around cigars and after an enjoyable smoker during which friendly greetings were exchanged between citizens of both communities, the visitors withdrew. Flower Growers' Bulletin Issued Taking advantage of the wide variety of soils and climatic conditions prevailing in California, lovers of flowers have brought into the state many importations from all sections of the world, states H. M. Butterfield, of the Agricultural Extension Service, University of California. The possibility of adding new varieties of flowers and ornamentals from Africa, Australia and China, with which to beautify the state, is still open to many sections of California. To provide a popular handbook for floriculturists and home gardens, including listings of plants for special purposes and a planting calendar, Butterfield has prepared an extension service bulletin, "Home Floriculture in California," which is now available for free distribution. Copies of this publication, agricultural extension circular 53, may be obtained from the county farm advisor. Some of the topics discussed are soils and fertility, fertilizers and their uses, irrigation and tillage, equipment for the home garden, flowers from seeds, from bulbs and roots, and shrubs and trees. An index makes the information contained in the publication easily available. The circular deals only with growing of flowers about the home, giving special emphasis to the questions which the home gardener asks, such as what flowers to select, when to plant and how to grow flowers successfully in California home gardens.
