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 Citizen of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 17, 1881. Rev. W. S. Neals, who has been in Lake county since his removal from Anaheim has been called to St. Paul's Episcopal church at San Francisco. Among the arrivals yesterday was Mrs. W. S. Wright who came all the way from Massachusetts to spend the holidays with her mother, Mrs. Bremermann. Mr. Alex Wright also returned yesterday. We acknowledge a call from D. C. McFadden who has come here from Illinois with the hope of abating his asthmatic trouble. Mr. McFadden has settled in Westminster and is much pleased with the country. The Presbyterian Sunday school will have a Christmas tree on Christmas eve in the Masonic hall. Parents and friends are invited to be present. Gifts may be sent in on Saturday afternoon when teachers will be present to receive them. The Board of Town Trustees met on Wednesday and decided to postpone action upon the appointment of town engineer until next Wednesday. They also decided to move the fire bell to the town lot, and Mr. Holdridge was engaged to build a tower thirty feet in height. Mr. Searle M. Wren has purchased 25 acres of land from Mr. Lee and has already begun the work of transforming them from barren plain to blooming garden. The whole tract will be planted in vines and apricot trees this season, and the other improvements will be of the most substantial character.

Wren has purchased 25 acres of land from Mr. Lee and has already begun the work of transforming them from barren plain to blooming garden. The whole tract will be planted in vines and apricot trees this season, and the other improvements will be of the most substantial character. There will be a special service for children at St. Michael's church on Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock after which they will assemble at the parsonage, when a Christmas dinner will be provided them. After dinner the tree will be unveiled and the little ones will receive their presents direct from Santa Claus. A council of the Legion of Honor was instituted in Anaheim on Monday evening. The following is a list of officers: A. Rimpau, commander; Mrs. M. A. Barr, vice-commander; Frank Ey, orator; W. A. Witte, secretary; Theo. Rimpau, treasurer; George L. Schaffe, collector; G. H. Bailey, medical examiner; H. C. Gade, chaplain; W. M. Bailey, warden; Wm. Crowther, sentry. The council will meet in Odd Fellows hall semi-monthly. The clouds which hung in the sky on Thursday broke about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, and for a short time the rain came smartly. Our rain gauge recorded thirty-hundredths as the result of the shower. The year is nearly gone and there has been no rain worth speaking of. In seeking through past records we find that in 1867 no rain fell until the week before Christmas, and then came a deluge. May the experience of '67 be repeated in '81 say we. The days of grace are quickly fleeting, the given time is nearly spent. The tax collector/soon will chalk on an extra fee of five percent. That is as near an approach to petery as we can get when taxes is our theme. You can't enthuse worth a cent when writing on such a subject. You can't twist anything poetical out of the hard fact that on and after the 26th the delinquent tax payers will be required to pay an additional 5 percent. This is true of the town taxes as well as of the county taxes. Up to Wednesday last the county tax collector had taken in only $90,000 leaving $215,000 yet to be collected. There will probably be a grand rush in his office during the coming week. The new ditch of the Anaheim Water company is practically completed, there remaining only the sand-papering (as the men term it) to be done. Work was begun on the ditch on the 17th of October, and it was then calculated that at least three months would be required to finish it. Its completion a month before the estimate time is evidence that the superintendent of construction understands his business. In fact the ditch is an agreeable surprise in many ways. It is a much better ditch than anyone expected and it has cost less than was estimated. Invitations have been issued by "Our Boys" for a ball to be given under their auspices at Groeger's hall on the evening of Friday, December 30th. The music will be furnished by Wange man's Los Angeles band. The committees having charge of the ball are: Committee of arrangements, Chas O. Rust; Fred C. McKinnie; A. L. Lewis; O. Des Granges; Henry Bremermann. Reception committee, R. J. Northan; A. Rimpau; C. H. Zeyn; C. E. Leonard; Guy Barham; Chas Higgins. Floor managers, Frank Ey; Max Nebeling.

Statistics of the wine crop of Anaheim for the season of 1881 show a decided increase over the result of last year which was 584,000 gallons. The increase is due solely to the new vineyards that are beginning to furnish grapes because as a rule the crop this year was not as large as last year. But unless some unforeseen circumstance occurs, next year's crop will undoubtedly be what Dick Swiveler would term a staggerer. It has been noticed that the result of fertilizing vines is not manifested in any decided manner for a couple of years, so that we may expect, as a consequence of the manuring and through cultivation which the Anaheim vineyards have received for the past two or three years, that next season's crop will be unusually large. Last year the noted firm of B. Dreyful & Co. made 265,000 gallons and this year they have made 325,000 gallons. This is the product of their vineyards in Anaheim and of the purchases of grapes from growers in this vicinity. In addition the Cucamonga vineyard has produced tremendously and we hope to give the figures next week. They have also made a very large quantity of brandy, their superb distillery being in constant operation. The operations of the large growers of Napa county are dwarfed in comparison with the operations of Messrs Dryfus & Co. Charles Krug the largest and best known vineyardist in Napa county returned only 200,000 gallons this year, as against 280,000 gallons last year. Following is a list of Anaheim vineyardists and the number of gallons produced by them this year. It is however not complete: B. Dryful & Co. 325,000; A Langenberger 26,000; H. Kroege 25,000; F. Hartung 25,000; F. A. Korn 20,000; Thos. Reiser 18,000; D. Strodthoff 6,000; H. Wehmeyer 15,000; J. P. Zeyn 14,000; Mrs. J. Schneider 12,000; C. Lorenz 10,000; Mrs. E. Boldt 10,000; T. J. F. Boege 10,000; H. Werden 9,000; Leonard Parker 9,000; F. Rehm 8,000; Mrs. Bremerman 7,000; C. Wilkins 7,000; N. Bittner 7,000; Mrs. F. W. Kohl 5,000; C. Vogt 5,000; John Bach 5,000 Wm. Konig 4,000; H. Boege 3500; David Crowl 3,000; Mrs. Kuelp 2500; R. Luedke 2,000; Wm. Kelley 2,000. Other growers estimate 50,000.

These Files Contain the Only of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 20, 1906 Wayne Goble has taken a position at Joseph Helmsen's candy store. Percy Rust returned yesterday from Belmont to spend the holidays with his parents Mayor and Mrs. Chas O. Rust. Fayette Lewis, Teddy Dickel, Charley Schindler and Ernest Clabaugh are home from Berkeley to spent Christmas with their folks. L. A. Evans reports the sale to A. C. Betram of ten acres of bearing orange land in the Kraner tract near the residence of Sam Kramer, belonging to Daniel Tuttle, at a stated price of $10,000. Chas O. Rust has issued some handsome calendars for 1907 representing the Moho winery. Woho is Spanish for wet and is a most appropriate title for the mayor's winery. The calendars are works of art. Levi Mann has sold his residence on Hedwig street to Louis Borchard lately arrived from Michigan for $2100. Mr. Mann gives possession immediately. He will erect a residence on his lot adjoining his present property on the north. The city trustees advertised for bids for constructing a 175,-000 gallon concrete tank for the new power house. Two Los Angeles contractors responded, one bidding $10,400, the other $24,901. Los Angeles values have a habit of raising over night. E. K. Collins, a former well known orange buyer, has been in town during the week buying oranges which he ships on his own account. Ten years ago Mr. Collins bought oranges throughout Southern California for Earl, and was recognized as one of the On the Sidewalks of New York By OBSERVER Rizzy Selling— New Yorkers rightfully brag about their fine shops. One of the latest to open is a furniture shop which is really a branch of the original establishment in London. It is no place for the man with merely one or two million dollars. A purchaser can spend that much there in a single morning without making much of a dent in the visible supply on hand. One of the items is a room on the third floor that has been bodily transplanted from a centuries old mansion in the heart of the English countryside. It is all there, walls, ceiling and of course, the furniture. The price? When we asked the gentleman who was conducting us through the place what he expected to get for the room he hemmed and hawed—quite in the British manner—and said he really didn't know, "I rather fancy it will bring around $250,000," he said. Strong-Arm Itinerants— One thing that arouses theire of visitors here is the pushing way the street beggars and peddlers have adopted. Coming along Broadway the other day outside of the Metropolitan Opera House we were forced to dodge two blind beggars shuffling toward us, arm in arm. Together they occupied more than half the width of the sidewalk and the one on our side had his hand with the inevitable tin cup stuck right in our path. It was either brush it aside or step in the gutter. We stepped. Peddlers are equal offenders. The men with fruit barrows do not hesitate to station their carts right in the way of the busiest crowds at street crossings. They visibly slow up traffic but neither the traffic policemen nor the crowd appears to give the intrusion a thought. Dauceling Schools— possession immediately. He will erect a residence on his lot adjoining his present property on the north. The city trustees advertised for bids for constructing a 175,000 gallon concrete tank for the new power house. Two Los Angeles contractors responded, one bidding $10,400, the other $24,901. Los Angeles values have a habit of raising over night. E. K. Collins, a former well known orange buyer, has been in town during the week buying oranges which he ships on his own account. Ten years ago Mr. Collins bought oranges throughout Southern California for Earl, and was recognized as one of the best men in the business. He is in business for himself and has already purchased one orchard in this neighborhood. George A. Hunter came down from Los Angeles on Sunday to visit his son Ralph, who has been ill with appendicitis at his home west of town. Mr. Hunter recently returned from a trip through the northern counties during which he called upon his old time friend Charley Miller, at Jamestown, who is comfortably situated upon a fine farm, enjoying excellent health and happy. Gus Hansen was in from Orangethorpe on Monday. He says two carloads of milk and cream are shipped by the electric road from his section to Los Angeles daily, prices being firm and with an upward tendency. The city offers an inviting market, not only for this produce but for chili peppers, berries, vegetables and all classes of farm produce and the market is growing daily. Regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water company, with the following members present namely, Bradford, Gunderson, Hale, Kramer, McLaughlin and Sherwood. McLaughlin of the reservoir committee reported concerning the Yorba reservoir now under process of construction, saying there is a safe clay soil on the dam site, and the whole plan looks like a complete success. He recommended that the board go to Hollywood to inspect the new reservoir now under process of construction at that point. Joseph C. Burke who for a number of years past has been the efficient chief clerk at the Olinda Oil wells, has been tendered by county-clerk-elect Williams, and has accepted the position as deputy clerk and will on the first of the year take up his duties in the court house. His place at the oil wells will be taken by E. A. Heffner, at present Santa Fe station agent at that point. "Joe" is the most popular lad in all the foot hill region, and carries with him the best wishes of a host of friends for his success at his entry into the political zone. Constable Llewellyn ambushed a gang of hoboes comfortably fixed in the big irrigating ditch near the gas works on Monday evening and gave them a fine free bath. The tramps had with them a cripple on grubes whom they sent up town to beg. He secured a sufficient amount to provide supper for them, and late in the evening, when they had turned in for the night, filled with liquor, he turned loose the flood gates. Eight hoboes narrowly escaped drowning. Their fire about which they lay was extinguished and it is feared some of them swallowed some of the water. They hiked out of town, muttering all sorts of imprecations, and threatened never to return. PICKWICK HOTEL Low rates for monthly guests. Cafe, Lunch Counter, Dining Room.

The tramps had with them a cripple on guttes whom they sent up town to beg. He secured a sufficient amount to provide supper for them, and late in the evening, when they had turned in for the night, filled with liquor, he turned loose the flood gates. Eight hoboes narrowly escaped drowning. Their fire about which they lay was extinguished and it is feared some of them swallowed some of the water. They hiked out of town, muttering all sorts of imprecations, and threatened never to return. The city trustees are to be commended for their action in approving the contemplated paving of business streets. The throughfares have been in execrable condition since the rains, and should be paved. At least one intending investor was discouraged by their appearance from locating here. This gentleman arrived in town one day last week and announced that he had made up his mind to invest his money here, but on viewing the impassable streets declared he would not live in a town where the thoroughfares were permitted to remain in such a condition. Signatures to petitions for paving already have the names of most if not all of the business men in town, as well as many outside property owners. Those who oppose paving are few, and it is not believed they will stand in the way of needed public improvements. When the city two years ago took up the work of laying several miles of additional cement sidewalks, there was a great outcry on the part of a number of residents outside the immediate business center against them, but when the walks had been installed, no one would for a moment have thought of parting with them even at a dozen times their cost. Upward of $25,000 was expended in sidewalk construction the past year and many more outlying streets will be sidewalked during the coming twelve months. The city is expending $48,000 in erecting an enlarged and improved powerhouse for supplying the city with better water and electric lighting facilities and when this work is completed will have the best and cheapest light and water service on the coast. The one weak spot in our civic environment is the inpassable condition of our streets during the winter. The city trustees have wisely determined to remedy this evil and after laying new water mains on the principal streets, which will, it is thought, consume two months, will at once take up paving. Street paving is the one thing needed here to hold the home-seeker, attracted hither by the matchless resources of our section. We have everything the heart may desire but our streets need attention. They should be paved. In recent years dancing has been promoted to a place among the arts. That is, in America, Europeans have always looked upon Terpischore as a goddess and upon dancing as a serious profession. The Modern Touch— One of the most noted teachers of dancing here is a man who has probably danced before nearly one-half of the people of the country. His name is a household word. Now, in his later years, he is coaching girls for dance acts and proving wonderfully successful. He gets about $3 a lesson and a season's course comprises about forty lessons. The conventions are strictly observed at his place and parents have no hesitation in sending their young daughters to him. One thing there looks funny—one sees girls of quite tender years smoking cigarettes while waiting their turn. But nobody seems to notice or care. Getting Lost Easy— One of the easiest things in the world to do is get lost on the subway here. The other day a friend dropped in from Chicago and we showed him the town. One of the things he wanted to see was the subway. So we got on it and rode around, finally deciding to go up to the new George Washington Bridge. We all stepped on an uptown express and became interested in talking over all times. Finally the train pulled into another station, and happening to look up, we noticed we were in the Pelham section—six miles east of our intended destination. The only way to travel in the wrong direction in any other city in the United States, whether it be Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, or New Orleans, is to go to sleep on the train.

That is why pure Syrup Pepsin is so good for women. It just suits their delicate organism. It is the prescription of an old family doctor who has treated thousands of women patients, and who made a special study of bowel troubles. It is fine for children, too. They love its taste. Let them have it every time their tongues are coated or their skin is sallow. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is made from fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless ingredients. When you've a sick headache, can't eat, are bilious or sluggish; and at the times when you are most apt to be constipated, take a little of this famous prescription (all drug stores keep it ready in big bottles), and you'll know why Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the favorite laxative of over a million women!
