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 Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 21, 1882. The Gazette went to press last week before any news was received from the points regarding the unprecedented storm which raged from Siskiyon to San Diego, and, in total disregarded of the usual order of things, it seemed to rage with greatest fury in the southern part of the state. It was one of those climatic surprises which seem original with California, and not in this generation may such a freak be again witnessed. The fear that the young wood on the orange trees would die from the effects of the cold has not been realized. The tender leaves, which while the cold blasts were blowing assumed a yellow and withered look have resumed their wonted appearance, and not one was the worst for their short acquaintance with the beautiful snow. But the furious gusts of wind denuded the trees of their fruit which was just ripe enough to be easily detached and this was where the greatest damage occurred as the orchards throughout the county were literally paved with oranges the morning after the storm. The strangest and most unnatural cirmustance of all was the choking of the Anaheim ditch by the snow. The most vivid imagination would never have ventured to predict the stopping of the flow of water in the irrigating ditches by a gorge of snow. But so it happened. There were three large heads of water flowing in the ditch on Thursday, and it came uninterruptedly until Friday at noon. It then stopped and when the Zanjero investigated he found a snow blockade in the ditch about a mile east of town. The snow had floated down the ditch in large balls, the water being two cold to melt it, and so rapidly did it accumulate that before the water could be shut off nearly two miles of ditch was filled up with the hardened snow. The blockade continued from Friday until Monday. The Cajon ditch and the Orange ditch had a similar experience. The snow was very severe at Wilmington and the thirteen vessels at the anchorage were in a precarious position. The Methodist church at Orange was blown from its foundation.

The blockade continued from Friday until Monday. The Cajon ditch and the Orange ditch had a similar experience. The snow was very severe at Wilmington and the thirteen vessels at the anchorage were in a precarious position. The Methodist church at Orange was blown from its foundation. Four houses were blown down at Pomona. Snow lay on level ground to a depth of two feet at Silverado and in some of the ravins it reached a depth of six feet. The thermometer got down to twenty-six degrees at Riverside, and snow lay on the ground to the depth of several inches. San Bernardino had several inches of snow. At San Diego the storm was more violent than in this county, but had a happier ending as 21-2 inches of rain fell on Thursday the 12th, and by Sunday 3.80 inches had fallen. At Yuma the wind blew a perfect hurricane. At Fresno, and Sacramento the thermometer dropped to 21 degrees with strong wind and no rain. The Board of Supervisors met on Monday and awarded the publication of the delinquent tax list to J. L. Lynch, he being the only bidder. A communication from the Los Angeles city council was received stating that they did not deem it advisable to sell their interest in the jail property at the present time. The tax collector informed the Board that the delinquent tax list this year will approximate $48,942.17. Of this amount $14,343.10 is assessed against the Southern Pacific railroad, leaving $14,599.07 of general taxes to be collected. The thermometrical record for this week presents the fact that Thursday the 12th, was the coldest day recorded within the last ten years—how much beyond that the "oldest inhabitant" knowth not. The mercury has indeed been much lower but not for the entire day. One singular fact is, that while at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. the temperature was at 37 degrees, and had not been above that point, yet at noon it stood at 35 degrees. The all pervading hand of death has again entered the household of Mr. Rimpau, bereaving it of the oldest daughter, the favorite of father, mother, sisters and brothers. Claudina, an attack of typhoid fever so weakened her that although she had disappeared her system could not rally. She died on Wednesday morning with all her nearest relatives about her and mourned by a legion. The funeral took place on Thursday morning and was attended by a great many people from all parts of the county. The services at the Catholic church were unusually impressive, and in addition to the regular ceremony, Rev. Peter Verdaguer delivered a short address in which he extolled the virtues of the deceased who could indeed be an example to us all of virtue; purity, modesty and obedience. Mr. C. Reorden of Orangethorpe died on Friday of last week and was buried on Sunday. The cause of his death was pneumonia, superinduced by a cold contracted nine days before while irrigating. He leaves a wife and family who have the symp Mr. C. Reorden of Orangethorpe died on Friday of last week and was buried on Sunday. The cause of his death was pneumonia, superinduced by a cold contracted nine days before while irrigating. He leaves a wife and family who have the sympathy of the entire community. The semi-annual statement of the Bank of Anaheim is published today. It shows a gratifying increase in deposits since the last statement was made, notwithstanding the fact that the establishment of a branch bank at Santa Ana took away a good deal of business. A company has been incorporated at Globe, Arizona Territory for the purpose of engaging in the manufacture of ice. Mr. Charles E. Taylor formerly of Anaheim is secretary of the company. Mr. and Mrs. B. Dreyfus went up to San Francisco last Saturday. They will return in two or three days accompanied by Mr. J. J. Welein who arrived in San Francisco a few days ago from New York. The scarcity of geese has been remarked by Anaheim hunters this season. They are all in the San Joaquin valley doing great damage to the young wheat. They destroy thousands of bushels every day. The Commercial mentions a rumor that a Fire Insurance Company is about to be organized in Los Angeles with ex-Governor Downey, A Briswalter and Louis Mesmer among the incorporators. The common council of Los Angeles refused the petition of the firemen of that city who asked that the poll tax due from active members of the department be paid by the city. The Chamber of Congress of this county has adopted and forwarded a memorial to Congress asking them to appropriate at least $200,000 to carry on the work of improving Welmington harbor. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only nams of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JANUARY 14, 1907 Judgment of the lower court in the suit of the, Anaheim Union Water Company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company against O. B. Fuller and others has finally been affirmed by the supreme court and word to that efface this week received by the attorneys for the water companies. This case was brought nearly seven years ago, or to be exact in 1900, to test the right of Fuller and others to divert the waters of the Santa Ana river upon non-riparian lands. The first hearing came before Judge J. S. Noyes in the Riverside superior court where the application for a temporary injunction was denied the water companies. This was in May 1900. The trial began December, 1902 at Riverside before Judge Bledsoe of San Bernardino. The trial lasted twenty-four days, two of which were spent by the judge and attorneys in examining the land effected. Attorneys representing the water company were E. E. Keech of Santa Ana and Richard Melrose of Anaheim, Judge John D. Pope and Judge A. W. Hutton of Los Angeles. For the defense were E. W. Freeman of Los Angeles E. R. Annable of San Bernardino, L. K. Chase and H. J. Stevens of Los Angeles. The decision was in favor of the water companies. Fuller appealed to the supreme court but was denied. It was found that Fuller was again using river water to irrigate several hundred acres of alfalfa land owned by him; he was charged with contempt of court. Complete records and elaborate briefs were filed in the supreme court and the appeal finally submitted in August 1906. Attorneys for the water companies have just been notified that the judgment of the lower court has been affirmed. The immediate effect of the decision will be to force Fuller to seek for water for irrigation elsewhere. He has seemingly anticipated the adverse decision and has installed pump and sunk wells with satisfactory results on securing a supply of water that will make up on great measure for the river water that he will now be deprived of. Unemployment strikes the ranks of nature's wild living things as well as among the races of man, according to information received from the division of fish and game. Although the fact is not often contemplated, the wild birds and animals are constantly employed in foraging for the necessities that sustain life. When food sources are covered with snow and ice, or the season has failed to produce a sufficient crop, the wild living things can find no work to do—hence no food. Drought followed by unusually heavy rains and snows has produced untold unemployment suffering among the wild life of our state, according to division field men. These birds and animals must receive human assistance in order to survive until the productive days of spring. Kinds of Feed Game wardens, volunteer deputy wardews and sportsmen from all parts of the state are doing all in their power to feed the wild life during this winter emergency period. Division officials said that excellent reports have come from their field men in Sanitas, Sixtly bui, El Dorado, Mecoe, Lassen, Sonoma, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Kerh and several other counties. In feeding quail, both mountain and valley varieties, it is advised to use cracked grains, such as wheat, rolled oats and corn, and for seed use rape, vetch hemp and bur clover. Persons who care to donate feed for birds can secure information from Winter R. Welch, captain of volunteer depoties, division of fish and game, 399 Russ building, San Francisco. Adds Protection Grains should be placed in natural or artificial shelters at the edge of brush or woods patches; the shelters being arranged so that the bails may escape in any direction if attacked by enclosures. Full cooperation on the part of the nature-loving public and generous feed A deed to a half interest to 200,000 acres lying in Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties was filed in the Recorder's office at Santa Ana this week. The deed is from James L. Flood and Maud L. Flood, his wife to Richard O'Neill. This deed is for a half interest only. The deed was signed in San Francisco on December 12, 1906 and no reservation is made in it for a right-of-way through the immense Santa Margarita ranch; for a railroad had been reported. H. A. Dickel, Harry Armstrong and Ernest Neubaur went to Mount Lowe on Sunday to enjoy a festival of snowballing. They climbed up the mountain at the incline, took the cars to Alpine town, and proceeded through the snow to Mount Lowe. The scenery was grand. They returned in the evening, a pair of snowballers was on the cars and there was snowballing for further orders. Descending the incline in the car at night, a beautiful side was beheld. Lights of Pasadena twinkled in their best, the large street arcs standing out prominently above the incandescent lights. Los Angeles could be partly seen while in hotel since the large string of lights at Ventura were distinguisable. An inch and two-hundredths of rain fell on Thursday afternoon and evening, bringing the total precipitation for the season up to 12.57 inches. Last season to date 3.18. Ideal weather has prevailed since the downpour and plowing operations are progressing on all sides. Architect Krause of Los Angeles was here this week with plans for the two-story brick building in the north-west corner of Center and Emily. The plans have been accepted by the owner, Mrs. Mehauilin of Los Angeles and Mr. Krause, who gave local contractors a chance to make bids for erecting the building. Bids will be open next week. The building is to be two stories with two store rooms below, each 23,23 feet, and the second floor will be an office room will be used as a lodging house on hotel. This building will be of cream pressed brick with gold bricks chimneys and glass fronts and will cost $130,000.

Gilbert Landell writes from Colorado saying he has been appointed general manager of the Colorado Condensed Milk Company, a branch of one of the largest milk firms in the world, the Mohawk Co. of Rochester, New York. In a letter to the editor he asks about all of his old friends and sends his regards. Miss Antóinette Larronde and Miss Catherine Connell of Los Angeles were guests this week of Miss Winifred Melrose. Tom Scott came in from Allessandro on Monday to be present at the annual inspection and drill of Company E. Tom is a railway station agent at Allessandro, and mayor and president of the Board of Trade. He and the dog run the depot and, the nearest house is two and a half miles away. He answered to his name at roll call, drilled like a veteran and departed for his far-away home on Tuesday. Bruce Anson has purchased a lot on Philadelphia street, south of Broadway, and will shortly begin the erection of two residences. Many of the new wool dresses are made with these delicate additions, but sometimes a dress designed to be worn without one is improvised if one is added. If you are rather short and rather plump you may find that a neckline which would otherwise be much too deep may be worn with the addition of these laces orINSERTS additions. You can buy these accessories ready made or you can make them yourself. But remember that dogs should be made of fine material, lace, fine linen, nail or organise. The new idea is to make them in square shapes, arranging the lace of embroidery along one side and finishing the other side of the square with a fine rolled hem and an edging of fine lace. This of course does not show but it does give a sense of delattiness that appeals to the well dressed woman. There is no reason why fresh or properly preserved fish should not be eaten at the same meal with milk. Fish and milk are often cooked together in form of milk chowders or creamed mousse. Payment Hits California Birds; Operations of Feed Necessary for Life Almond Growers Ask For Industry Probe The division of markets of the state department of agriculture has been requested by unanimous vote of the board of directors of the California Almond Growers exchange to undertake a comprehensive survey of the almond industry, according to an announcement made here today by Dudley Moulton, director of the department.
