IN THE DAYS OF L 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 Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 14, 1882 It is too early in the season to entertain serious misgivings as to the supply of rain. There is no way to calculate the future but from the past. We have thirty-two years of a recorded meteorological past behind us. We have had five years of drought since 1849. They occurred in the seasons of 1850-51, 1862-63, 1863-64, 1870-71 and 1876-77. Two of these droughts came in succession, that is to say, those of 1862-63 and 1863-64. But they followed the year known as that of the "flood", in which the unprecedented amount of 47.25 inches fell in the central part of the state Of these 24.36 inches, more than the average of a whole season, fell in the month of January. All these droughts, with this exception, are separated by wide intervals. Eleven years elapsed between the drought of 1850-51 and that of 1862-63. Six years elapsed between the drought of 1863-64 (10.08) inches and the partial drought of 1870-71 (14.10) inches. But it was twelve years to the next real drought or that of 1876-77 (10 inches). We are only in the fifth year since the last drought. If we assume that no season is a drought except that in which the rainfall is 10 inches or below, there have been only three droughts since 1849. As we have no record preceding that year we find that these droughts are separated by an average of eleven and a half years. If there is any diminution this season according to doctrine of probabilities the supply will not be less than 13 or 14 inches. It will be the intermediate or partial drought. But, so far that must be regarded as the extreme or desperate chance, The apprehension of a drought this time is based on the fact that up to January 1st, only 6.58 inches have fallen. Less amount fell before the new year in ten seasons, but they were all fully up to the average and one of them—that of 1877-78—went to 31.12 inches. Another view of the case is presented in the fact that the rainfall to January 1st is largely in excess of that of the drought years. In 1850-51 the rainfall to January 1st was only 2.30 inches; in 1863-64, 4.38 inches, and in 1876-77, 3.21 inches, against 6.51 That the library was evicted meeting on Thursday to provide $1000 tion.

It will be the intermediate or partial drouth. But, so far that must be regarded as the extreme or desperate chance. The apprehension of a drouth this time is based on the fact that up to January 1st, only 6.58 inches have fallen. Less amount fell before the new year in ten seasons, but they were all fully up to the average and one of them—that of 1877-78—went to 31.12 inches. Another view of the case is presented in the fact that the rainfall to January 1st is largely in excess of that of the drouth years. In 1850-51 the rainfall to January 1st was only 2.30 inches; in 1863-64, 4.38 inches, and in 1876-77, 3.21 inches, against 6.51 this season. It is also in advance of the two years of partial drouth viz., 1862-63; 2.90 inches and 1870-71, 3.84 inches. From these facts it would appear that the chance for a drouth is a very remote one. On the contrary, the indications are of a downpour of from 18 to 20 inches. The old Lannery building, the barn in the rear of the Anaheim hotel, two or three old shanties, some fences and signs were blown down by the wind of Thursday night. The tin clown which hung in front of Mr. Luedke's shop, to which the name of Guiteau has been facetiously given, was dismembered—the lady being broken off at the neck and carried away by the wind, while the grinning face remains hanging to the gallows. At a meeting of fruit growers in Los Angeles on Tuesday called by the County Horticultural Commissioners, the following gentlemen were appointed as a committee to investigate the condition of orchards with reference to fruit tree pests and report to the commissioners all classes needing treatment: Chapman of Santa Anita, Chairman; C. E. White, Pomona, A. B. Clark, Orange; B. M. Lelong, Los Angeles; E. E. Wise Duarte; H. G. Bennet, Pasadena; S. McKindley, Vernon; D. Halliday, Santa Ana; J. D. Young, Ballona; L. L. Boquette, Los Nietos; Geo. R. Hinde, Anaheim; Robt. Strong, Westminister; S. K. Sewall, San Gabriel; Dr. Wall, Tustin City. The meeting adopted the following. Resolved that the committee appointed to aid the board of horticultural commissioners in the discharge of their official duties in the enforcement of the law for the extermination of insect pests, be requested to enter immediately upon their duties and we pledge them our earnest support in the work. Windmills being conspicious objects for the wind to exercise its force upon, there are few left standing throughout the county after the late storm, and it is remarkable that those few are of the kind known as the California windmill, a cut of which adorns our advertising columns. Call on Mr. S. B. Smith and he will communicate to you the secret of their staunchness. The Zanjero of the Anaheim Water company has been instructed to post on the company's bulletin board a list giving the date at which purchasers shall receive the water to which they are entitled.

It is a pure and excellent syrup, and when once used in a household it is preferred to the syrup in common use. Mr. Hull also offers alfalfa and other seed for sale. Mr. W. A. Witte has commenced the construction of bunkers, of a capacity to hold 1000 tons, at the railroad depot for the storage of coal from the black star mine. The mine has been developed into a valuable property, and the output will soon be large enough to supply the wants of this entire southern country. The coal is very superior in quality. The Board of Supervisors has appointed Dr. Rozas, quarantine officer. His duty is to inspect passengers on the trains at San Fernando, so as to guard as much as possible against the introduction of smallpox, a disease which prevails to an alarming extent in San Francisco at the present time. Mr. Reyes Serrano was thrown from his buggy a few miles from town on Monday night, and his leg was broken by the fall. He received other painful injuries which will incapacitate him for some time.

These Files Contain the Only genres of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 17, 1907 That the city will soon be the proud possesser of a Carnegie library was evidenced by the action of the city trustees at their meeting on Thursday evening when the board passed an ordinance to provide $1000 annually for the running expenses of the institution. The Chamber of Commerce has been in communication with the philanthropist for some months past, and matters have so far progressed that work upon the structure may be looked for at an early date. Every requirement of Mr. Carnegie has been complied with, and the resolution of the municipal authorities pledging an annual expenditure sufficient to meet all expenses of the library marks the final procedure required of our city. All the conditions have been met, and an answer is expected shortly from the Pittsburg millionaire. The Chamber of Commerce is to be congratulated upon its labors in this regard as well as in all others making for the unbuilding of the community. Congratulations to the Chamber of Commerce and the city trustees and the unbounded thanks of the community to the big-hearted philanthropist who has made the library possible. A traveler returned from a trip through northern counties says that Orange county has the most miserable roads in the state and Anaheim the worst streets in the county. We may admit having awful streets, but we possess cross-walks that are the finest in the land. They are made of asphaltum mud and gravel, and when in proper training, they slip your rubbers off every time. After your rubbers are off they permit the adhesion of oily mud to the soles of your shoes. This is hard to get off. They are things of beauty. Let us hear no more of bad roads and worse streets so long as we have our water-logged crosswalks. If you don't like them, you don't need to walk on them. Maurice Ray of Fullerton has purchased 100 acres of the Yorba estate. The property transferred consists of lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the surveyor's division of the Yorba estate deeded by Maurice Ray of Fullerton has purchased 100 acres of the Yorba estate. The property transferred consists of lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the surveyer's division of the Yorba estate, deeded by Porfirio-Yorba to Lordsburg, and lot 3 deeded by Francisca Yorba de Vejar of Pomona. A mortgage in amount of $16,690 was filed in connection with the deal with Porfirio Yorba. The deed by Porfirio Yorba reserves 80.80 acres for the reservoir. The five lots deeded to Ray by Porfirio Yorba contains 448 acres, 440.08 acres, 38 acres, 59.06 acres and 393 acres respectively. Ray is a confidential employee of Jacob Stern, and the transfer means the building of the Huntington electric railway by way of Yorba up River Canyon to Riverside. Work on the line from Los Angeles through La Habra valley to Randolph is now in progress. Mr. J. B. Neff encountered a deluge of ten inches of rain in three days at Ventura last week, and as a consequence the farmers institute scheduled there was not largely attended. On Wednesday when he was due to start for Fillmore where an institute was to have been held that evening washouts on the road detained him and Mrs. Neff until Saturday. Pipes leading from the reservoir supplying the town with water were washed out, and on Saturday the town was without drinking water. Much damage was done on the coast north of Ventura. It was the severest storm prevailing in that region in many years. John Hanna was in town from Miraflores on Saturday. Mr. Hanna reports an abundant fall of rain in his section, and is of the opinion his walnut orchard will need no irrigation this season. He believes in thorough cultivation assisted by capillary attraction of moisture, instead of the usual irrigation practiced in this section. He has a fine walnut orchard, and is prepared to demonstrate the correctness of his theory to anyone who doubts the successful principal as well as the efficacy of his method. Supervisor Linebarger announces the following appointments of roadmasters: Billy Hetebrink, Fullerton road district; T. L. Jackson, La Habra; Charles Damon Buena Park. No change has been made in the Anaheim district, and it is said Roadmaster Dyer will continue to have charge of the work. E.

Archbishop Montgomery died in San Francisco on Thursday last. The archbishop was well known in Anaheim where his visits were always pleasurable to his many friends. He was born in Davis county, Kentucky, December 30, 1846. Cardinal Gibbons ordained him in Baltimore in 1879 and he was consecrated bishop to Monterey and Los Angeles by Archbishop Riordan in St. Mary's Cathedral in San Francisco in 1894. On June 10, 1896, Bishop wide points of the rever, sometimes on the tip of the scarf that goes with them. The embroidery may be of self color or of contracting color—all the colors of the fabric rainbow, and they are many, may be used. For bright color is one of the soft details of this year's fashion. Revers are usually double. In that case the embroidery is done before the two thicknesses of materials are put together. The embroidery can then be pressed from the wrong side. And the lining, or facing of the revers covers the ugly under-side of the work and makes a smooth, attractive finish.

Showers of rain during the week bring the total precipitation according to Mr. Dickel's gauge to 11.55 inches. Last season's record to date amounted to 6.72 inches. The seasonal precipitation so far exceeds the fall in any year since the winter of 1899-90. Damage done the Smeltzer celery crop is estimated at $75,000. The Masonic lodge elected the following officers on Monday evening to serve the ensuing year: W. H. Spake, master; C. E. Holcomb, S. W.; A. L. Porter, J.

W. Scott of the East side. A. S. Bradford was in town on Tuesday. He has been disposed with fever for a week or so past but is getting better. Forty-six earloads of Peatland celery passed through town over the Southern Pacific on Monday on the way east. This was the largest shipment of celery ever made from Orange county in one day. County School Superintendent Carpenter was in town from Santa Ana on Saturday. George F. Miller was in town on Saturday from his ranch north of town. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, shares with Jane Addams of Chicago the Nobel Peace Prize for 1931.

This pure vegetable preparation is just as good as it tastes; just as blend and just as harmless as the recipe reads. When Baby's cry warns of colic, a few drops of Castonia have him soothed, a keep again in a jiffy. Nothing is more valuable in diarrhea. When coated tongue or bad breath tell of constipation, invoke its gentle aid to cleanse and regulate a child's bowels. In colds or children's diseases, you should use it to keep the system from clogging. Castoria is sold in every drug store; the genuine always bears Chas. H. Fletcher's signature. Fletcher's CASTORIA
