IN THE DAYS OF LOCATION Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Centennial Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizen of Anaheim and Orlando 56 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK December 24, 1881 To one and all a Merry Christmas. The Anaheim Baseball club will play a match game with the Tustin club today at 1 o'clock on the grounds near the school house. Orpheus Lodge 237 I. O. O. F. has transferred its place of meeting to Odd Fellows hall. Four lodges now hold their meetings in this hall. The lot on the corner of Center and Los Angeles Sts. has been sold to Geo. E. Patten of Los Angeles for $2000. Rumor credits the purchaser with an intention to erect one or more fine brick buildings upon the lot. It is said that land is selling at Riverside for $300 per acre. Land, better for general purposes and equally as good for citrus fruits as that at Riverside can be had in the vicinity of Anaheim from $40 to $75 per acre. By a vote of 8 to 7, the common council of Los Angeles elected Henry King (Democrat) chief of police over George Gard (Republican). Honors are now easy. The previous 8 to 7 vote was in favor of the Republicans. The Anaheim Fire Department has prepared a petition to San Francisco Board of Underwriters, asking their aid to purchase a hose cart. The petition is endorsed by the several insurance agents and it is to be hoped the Underwriters will see the wisdom of granting the petition. The dwelling house of Dr. Burr of El Monte was destroyed by fire last week, together with all the furniture. There was no injury morning up to 7 o'clock brings the total for 5.40. The indications it is raining north rain is a welcome as The Anaheim Fire Department has prepared a petition to San Francisco Board of Underwriters, asking their aid to purchase a hose cart. The petition is endorsed by the several insurance agents and it is to be hoped the Underwriters will see the wisdom of granting the petition. The dwelling house of Dr. Burr of El Monte was destroyed by fire last week, together with all the furniture. There was no insurance, so the Doctor's neighbors made up a purse of $300 and tendered it to him, but he declined it, saying he was young and strong enough to stand the loss. The Southern Pacific Railroad company, whose taxes on their property in this county amounts to $32,000, tendered Tax Collector Cullen $20,000 and demanded a receipt in full. Cullen refused to receive the money. It is the story of the fight between the Railroad company and the State Board of equalization. The Washington Meat Market is decorated with evergreens, and in accordance with his annual custom, Mr. Leonard has some royal beef for his customers. It gives one an appetite to visit he market and look upon these tempting arrays of meats so tastefully displayed. Leave your orders early for a Christmas roast. "Our Boys" are sparing no pains on expense to make their ball successful on next Friday evening. They expect a large attendance from adjacent towns, and will make all arrangements to have their guests pass the last night of the year in a joyful manner. And, by the way, the program of dances as printed at the Gazette office will be found as pretty and unique a piece of typographical skill as one could wish. C. Balch of Orange sustained a serious accident on Thursday evening while assisting in the decoration of the Episcopal church. He was cutting some evergreens with a pocket knife, when it slipped and came in contact with his right wrist severing the arteries and inflicting a wound from which the blood flowed in great quantities. Although he received surgical aid immediately he was yesterday much enfeebled from the loss of blood, and it will be a couple of months before the wound is healed. He is stopping at the home of the Rev. Mr. Emery. The Town Trustees met in special session on Wednesday. They decided to defer action in awarding the position of Town Engineer until next meeting. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That the marshal and night watchman be, and they are hereby instructed to file complaints under the advice and instructions of the town attorney against all persons keeping disorderly places of business or committing any breaches of the peace, and for the purpose of carrying this resolution into effect they shall investigate all complaints made to them and report the facts to the town attorney and also report all facts in relation to disturbances of any character, coming under their own notice to the town attorney, and in all cases when the said town attorney shall deem advisable, the said marshal and night watchman shall file complaints in the proper court for the prosecution of the offenders.

Rinnau The rainfall up to the present time in this county has not been very great, nor even up to the average in a good year. This fact to many would seem to be the signs of a dreaded event, a dry season. The most hopeful cannot fail to be impressed by grave apprehension, get we firmly believe that there are no grounds for thinking that the coming season will not be a prosperous one for our community. California is a state of wonderful weather, one of the peculiarities of which is a disposition to be contrary to all expectations. The most coquittish thing we have to deal with is the weather. One day it will promise one thing and the next quite another. The best way is to let Dame Nature arrange matters as she pleases. We wish to impress upon our readers the old word of cheer. "Don't get the blues," the best seasons ever experienced in California have been when rain has fallen during the holidays. That of the other day has shown us that there is still water in the skies and it would be a cruel warden in deed who would not unlock the heavenly gates. "Nemo," our Garden Grove correspondent writes this week saying in part: There is no reason why our land should not command as good prices as are obtained in the vicinity of Santa Ana, Orange or Riverside. Our lands will produce all kinds of fruits with the possible exception of oranges and lemons as anywhere. Our apples bring higher prices in Arizona than any that can be procured in Los Angeles. The wine-makers of Anaheim pay as much for grapes from Westminister, as they do for grapes produced in Anaheim. Garden Grove raisins sold in Los Angeles on the 15th at $1.50 per half box of ten pounds, which is the highest price paid this season. They were raised on our ordinary land without irrigation. Thousands of acres of such land is lying vacant in Westminister township and can be obtained at prices varying from thirty to fifty dollars per acre. Some folks say our land is nothing but an alkali swamp, while at the same time they come for hay, potatoes, apples, blackberries and other products. We have no ditches for bringing water from the river. We do not need any. We can procure all the pure artesian water we desire by boring a well one hundred feet deep.

OF LONG AGO 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 DECEMBER 27, 1906 Johnny Selinger came in yesterday to have Fritz Yunbluth measure him for a new suit of clothes. Johnny denied that it was going to be a wedding suit. A. W. Danforth has disposed of his walnut orchard northwest of town and has gone to Pasadena to reside. Mr. Danforth has resided here many years and has many friends who regret his departure. Eastern Star lodge has elected officers for the ensuing year as follows: Mrs. Geo. Boyd, W. M.; Ervin Barr W. P.; Mrs. H. A. Stough, A. M.; Mrs. Wm. Chambers, conductor; Miss Ella Rae, A. C.; Mrs. H. M. Adams, secretary; J. B. Rae, treasurer. Installation was followed by a sumptuous repast. Miss Lillie Conrad, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. Conrad, was married at the home of her parents in Los Angeles last week to Leslie Swope, a well known young gentleman, formerly of this city. The young couple have many friends here who extend contragulations upon the happy event. Electric lights in the Presbyterian church went out on Friday evening when Christmas exercises were half over. Word was sent to the power-house and a burnedout transformer was replaced and lights were turned on again. The illumination lasted for only an instant, when lights were again extinguished and remained so during the entire evening. Forty-nine hundredths of an inch of rain fell yesterday morning up to 7 o'clock, beginning shortly before 2 o'clock. This brings the total for the season to 3.29 inches. Last year to date 5.40. The indications as we go to press are good for more moisture. It is raining north and we may reasonably look for more. The rain is a welcome as the flowers that bloom in the spring. International Sunday School Lesson FOR DECEMBER 20 THE SUPREME GIFT OF LOVE I John 4: 7-19 By REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D. For this Christmas lesson the Supreme Gift is analyzed rather than told as an incident. In Luke 2: 8-20 you will find the narrative that tells of angels, shepherds, Bethlehem and the Babe. Here is the story, that the world is increasingly eager to hear. Devoutly we will listen to the anthems and then do as did the shepherds—"Go and see that which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us." John 3:16 also sets forth the meaning of this Supreme Gift to mankind. John, the beloved, disciple, was approaching the century mark. It is thought that he was released from Patmos exile and returned to his NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS FOR FURNISHING FIBRE CONDUIT AND CHLORINE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that sealed proposals will be received by the City Council of the City of Anaheim, at the office of the City Clerk of said City, up to 8 o'clock P.M. of Tuesday, January 12, 1932, for furnishing fibre conduit and chlorine to said city, as follows: ITEM 1—FIBRE CONDUIT Approximately 35000 linear feet of 3½ inch fibre conduit, in accordance with "Specifications for Fibre Conduit, Series of 1931, City of Anaheim." ITEM 2—Approximately 36 tons of chlorine gas in one-ton containers, in such quantities and at such times as may be required by the City, under purchase agreement to run until January 1, 1933. Said chlorine gas to be used at various locations along the Orange County Joint Outfall Sewer, and must be moisture free and of a stand- Electric lights in the Presbyterian church were half over.

Chester Holcomb has accepted a position with a new department store in Los Angeles, which will open for business early in the new year. He will be assistant to the manager and his work will be in the secretary's and treasurer's offices. The new establishment will occupy several floors of the new building now in course of erection, and will have sixteen departments. Mr. Holcomb goes to the city every morning and returns in the evening. Christmas exercises were held in the Methodist, Christian and Lutheran churches on Monday evening, at the Presbyterian church on Friday and the German Methodist on Friday. Services at the Episcopal church were held on Tuesday. Father Dubble preached a Christmas sermon at the Catholic church at 5 o'clock on Tuesday morning. Masses were also celebrated at 8 and 10:30 o'clock. Large congregations were present at all churches. A mail pouch thrown from a Santa Fe flyer on Monday fell under the car wheels and was run over by the train. The pouch contained much registered matter and many Christmas gifts. The letters were destroyed, being cut to shreds and silverware and jewelry were strewn along the track for some distance. Postmaster Duckworth reported the case and the registered letters will be reissued. For the articles destroyed the railway company will have a fine little bill to pay. A family reunion turkey dinner and a Christmas tree were enjoyed on Tuesday by the families of L. A. Evans, Mrs. Mary O. Kellogg, W. L. Dunlay, H. M. Barker and W. G. Barker, in all twenty-five members. All were on the old homestead grounds early and stayed late, and a great feast was enjoyed. After the dinner games were played and in the evening the Christmas tree was lighted and presents distributed. Later all departed to their homes with thankful hearts for having been present. When Mr. Asher entered his private office on Monday evening after a record breaking day's business, he found the premises had been invaded by his employees and a handsome revolving chair placed at his desk. He called his partner, Mr. Falkenstein to see his present, when the latter, on entering the office, saw a similar gift had been placed at his desk by employees of the establishment. Each chair bore a tag wishing the recipient A Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. The two partners were completely surprised and expressed themselves in appreciative terms at the kindness of their employes. Anaheim Lodge of Fraternal Brotherhood has elected officers as follows to serve for the ensuing year: Mrs. E. H. Adams, president; J. W. Dickerson, vice-president; Mrs. A. McWilliams, secretary; E.

Installation of officers will be held on the evening of the second Friday in January, to be followed by a banquet. Miss Winifred Melrose entertains members of the Four-Fours club at progressive whist on his Wednesday evening. The tally cards were souvenirs of Japan tied with strands of hemp from Manila. Refreshments were served at the close of the game and a very enjoyable evening was spent by those present. The first ladies prize, a pair of Japanese shoes, was won by Miss Anne Everhardy, the gentlemen's, Japanese water color. By Hugo Strodthoff. The second lady's prize, a Manila pin cushion was awarded to Mrs. Wallop while Nelborn Wallop captured the corresponding gentlemen's prize. The booby prizes, a scene in Manila and a Manila cigar were won respectively by Mrs. Hatzfeld and B. V. Beebe. On December 19th, the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water company, accompanied by Engineer Kellogg visited the dam now being constructed by Superintendent Mulholland for the city of Los Angeles. This dam will be considerably larger than the dam at Yorba, being ten feet higher, but with the same width of base, the slopes being steeper. Mr. Mulholland has adopted the same method of construction proposed to be used in the Yorba reservoir—sluicing. A matter of much interest was a species of sea moss which Mr. Mulholland has planted on the outside bank. This forms a complete mat, preventing washing away. The board was much pleased with the information obtained, and the expressions were general to the effect that the Yorba reservoir was a better thing than ever, and the progress of the work will be reviewed with a confidence in its success.

When he was too infirm to preach he would be carried to the church and would say to the congregation merely, "Little children, love one another." For an exposition of this theme read the three epistles of John: together they cover only seven chapters. Because "God is love" He expresses His divine nature in His special gifts to mankind. Irrespective of our attitude toward the Lord "he loved us and sent his Son to the propitiation for our sins." In the nature and work of Jesus Christ, we have a concrete and understandable expression of the love of the Father. Because of what was taking place in the incarnation, well did the angels sing: "Glory to God in the Highest." The exhortation of John is that we ought to manifest the spirit of love to others, and there are boundless opportunities. Our Christmas gifts should be love-tokens for the sake of Jesus Christ, and we will, of course, give to some from whom we will receive nothing." The writer takes this occasion for the fourth time in succession to say a hearty "Merry Christmas" to all in this decidedly large Bible class. H. V.

If baby has COLIC ACRY in the night. Colic! No cause for alarm if Castoria is handy. This pure vegetable preparation brings quick comfort, and can never harm. It is the sensible thing when children are alling. Whether it's the stomach, or the little bowels; colic or constipation; or diarrhea. When tiny tongues are coated, or the breath is bad. Whenever there's need of gentle regulation. Children love the taste of Castoria, and its mildness makes it safe for frequent use. And a more liberal dose of Castoria is always better for growing children than strong medicine meant only for adult use. Castoria
