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 The Board of Town trustees met in regular session on Wednesday. In regard to the petition of Frank Ely and others, asking for an extension of the water system, the attention of petitioners was called to a resolution adopted on January 5th, 1881, which reads as follows: "Resolved that the petitioners have the privilege of laying pipe through such streets as they wish to connect with the main water pipe; provided that they do so without cost to the town. And the Board of Trustees will agree to furnish them with water at the regular rates, allowing them to pay 50 percent of said rate every month, the other 50 percent to be applied to the liquidation of the cost of the pipe. The marshal reported the sale of the old engine for $275, and the sale was ratified by the Board. The communication of the Fire Company in regard to the transfer of the apparatus was referred to the finance committee. The Marshal was instructed to make all water rates conform to the ordinance on the subject. The very remarkable statement has been made that during the year 1879-80 there were exported from New Orleans 6,000,000 gallons of pure olive oil, extracted from cotton seed. Eighty-eight percent of this stuff was sent to the eastern foreign countries, and half of this amount went to Italy, the home of the genuine olive. The interesting question arises, what is the pure olive oil, which is sold in this country made from, if in Italy itself they consume a vile adulteration? But the fact that there is such a demand for oil ought to give encouragement to California farmers and fruit growers to pay more attention to the culture of the olive. It is a branch of horticulture as promising as any pursued in this state and it ought not to be neglected in the future as it has been in the past.

Tantalizing rain signs, but no rain. Cold uncomfortable weather, especially irritating to thin blooded, semi-tropical people. It is only by constant reflection upon how much colder it is in other states that the present weather is made endurable, for it is a universal trait of human nature to want the satisfaction from the knowledge that some other man is worse off than yourself. The average temperature in Anaheim for the week ending January 25th was 48 degrees. In our semi-tropical country we deem that is cold, but in an eastern paper of the 25th, we read the following-paragraph which shows that the temperature here was blazing hot by comparison. A schooner running into Newport for shelter yesterday brought on her decks a casual accumulation of fsix tons of ice. The St. Lawrence is frozen so solid that preparations are being made to lay a railroad on the ice. Such facts as these set at rest any fear of the lack of an ice crop. Indeed the Hudson is frozen solid from Peekskill north, and ice cutting is going actually forward. The cold is the most intense ever recorded in many places in New England and Northern New York, where the thermometer has registered more than 30 degrees below zero. Mr. E. T. Wright, county surveyor has been out in the San Gabriel Valley making preliminary surveys of the 1500 acres of the Alhambra tract, on which the great wine company will plant 1,500,000 vines. City surveyor Jackson of Los Angeles is now engaged in surveying the grounds for the great wine factory of the company which is to be built on the north side of the railroad tract, and the south side of the Alhambra tract. G. S. Yates, a carpenter by trade, whose home was in Westminster, and who for some ten days, had been assisting the Alward Bros. in building a house near Orange for them, dropped dead about 9 o'clock on Wednesday. He had just finished hanging some doors, when he spoke to one of the brothers in regard to putting in the carpet strips, and before cutting and ripping the first one through he was a dead man. He was about 60 years old. The Santa Ana Valley. Irrigation company has leased for ten years, at a rental of $300 per year, five acres of land near the company's tunnel some ten miles from Santa Ana and to Dillon & Co., who will at once commence to the erection of a gristmill three stories high to cost $8000. Mr. Guy Pike of Los Angeles, who went up to San Francisco to buy hay for Los Angeles liverymen, has returned home, having succeeded in buying a lot of 175 tons of first class hay at $9 per gallon of pure olive oil, extracted from cotton seed. Eighty-eight percent of this stuff was sent to the eastern foreign countries, and half of this amount went to Italy, the home of the genuine olive. The interesting question arises, what is the pure olive oil, which is sold in this country made from, if in Italy itself they consume a vile adulteration?

Mr. Guy Pike of Los Angeles, who went up to San Francisco to buy hay for Los Angeles liverymen, has returned home, having succeeded in buying a lot of 175 tons of first class hay at $9 per ton, which with the railroad freight of $7 per ton added, will bring the cost up to $16 per ton when it reaches the city of Los Angeles. The first shipment is expected this week. The Riverside Press corrects a statement made by the Gazette two weeks ago by saying: "There were no trees blown down by winds in Riverside during the late storm. Some limbs were broken by the weight of the fruit and snow, but what little damage was done took place before the wind blew at all." On last Saturday morning while J. J. Moore of San Antonio district near Downey, was working with a horse power corn sheller, the tumbling rod became unfastened and struck him with great force on the side. He died shortly afterwards. As Dr. Warner of Garden Grove was returning home from Santa Ana on Tuesday evening, his horse became frightened at something thrown into a wagon. The horse fell over backwards and the rider fell breaking his collar bone. Judge Supulveda will leave Los Angeles on the 8th, to hold court temporarily for Judge Hunt of San Francisco county. Judge Hunt will arrive in Los Angeles on or about the 15th. The first case set for trial before him will be on the 16th of February. Mr. L. F. Lewis of the City Stables, being unable to find a suitable place in the business part of town, has removed his stable to the corner of Adele and Hermine streets, adjoining his residence, where his friends can procure livery teams as heretofore. During the month of January, fifteen persons were buried from the county hospital—three times the number ever buried from that institution during the same length of time. No sheep have been shipped from Anaheim yet, but it is said that quite a number will be sent forward from here to New Mexico next week. J. P. Cutler has been appointed postmaster at Newbury Park this county. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only mens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK The City Trustees met in special session on Tuesday evening and devoted the entire evening to a consideration of plans and specifications for the new power house as well as the installation of lights and the laying of new water mains. All members were present viz. Trustees, Rust, Fiscues, Stock, Darling and Kroeger. Engineer Schinck presented plans of the new electric light and water power house, together with specifications which were read by Clerk Merritt. Bids for the erection of the building will be opened at a meeting to be held on the evening of February 19th. The cost of the building will be inside the estimate of $4000. Cement flooring will come later and will cost an additional sum. Ninety days time will be given contractors to complete the house. Engineer Lewis said he hoped to be doing business in the new house by the first of June. The board also decided to call for bids for installing electric lights and for laying water mains. The official advertising regarding these improvements will be found on the fourth page. Several sites are being talked of for the Carnegie library, but the one most favorably referred to is the Konig lot at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets. This lot is 140x160. Mr. Konig has held it at $4000, but consented to dispose of it for a library site for $2400. A number of residents of the locality have signed a subscription paper pledging amounts of money sufficient to pay for the lot and present it to the city. H. Deutsch offers eight lots at the corner of Lemon and Chartres for $3500. The tract contains an acre and a half. Another site is that owned by Dr. Adams at the corner of Philadelphia and Center streets. The lot is held at $3000, but the owner will accept $2000 for it if used for a library site. ROSENWALD. Because a man named Sears proved that he could sell lightweight clothing by mail, a manufacturer of summer clothes named Julius Rosenwald invested $40,000 in the firm of Sears Roobuck and Company. Mr. Rosenwald died a few days ago, leaving an estate which may run to a hundred million dollars. A number of years ago, Mr. Rosenwald personally took me on a tour of inspection of the great mail-order house of which he was the head, and which now sells nearly two hundred million dollars worth of merchandise a year. He asked me to guess what particular line they sold most of. He knew I would guess wrong, as everybody does. The largest single item of Sears Roebuck sales is shoes—or was then. Mr. Rosenwald was a great merchant, but he was more than that, he was a great man. He had the feeling that he was not the actual owner of the profits from his business, but a trustee whose duty it was to return that money to the public from which it came, in the form of schools, hospitals, and other philanthropic endowments. FRANKLIN. I got a letter the other day from an organization which calls itself "The Benjamin Franklin's." Printed on the letterhead were the name of a hundred or so members, every one of whom has the letters "B. F." as his Several sites are being talked of for the Carnegie library, but the one most favorably referred to is the Konig lot at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets. This lot is 140x160.

Another site is that owned by Dr. Adams at the corner of Philadelphia and Center streets. The lot is held at $3000, but the owner will accept $2000 for it if used for a library site. Each of the sites has it supporters and there exists good natured rivalry between them as to which will be finally accepted. The Chamber of Commerce looks for a letter from the philanthropist any day bringing final information upon the subject of the donation. The regular monthly meeting of the public library board was held on Monday evening. Present, Miss Ella Rae, president; Miss Kate Rae, secretary and treasurer; Chas Fiderman, Dr. Horick, F. C. Spencer. It was announced that 63 new books will be on the library shelves this week. C. C. Parker of Los Angeles from whom the library has purchased books for several years, now allows the library 33 1-3 percent discount, instead of 30 percent. The books and library furniture have been insured. Mr. Hartfield having donated a very beautiful clock to the library, he was given a vote of thanks. New linculeum will be laid this week to beautify the room and especially deaden the noise. It is the desire of the board to have the library as quiet as possible, and it asks the assistance of all who use the library to help by not speaking above a whisper while in the room. J. B. Neff reports water in his well has risen 44 inches since August 1st, being at the present time up to the mark of three years ago. During January the raise amounted to 18 inches. Mr. Neff expects a raise of an inch per day during the next two months when the total raise since August will have been 8 feet, 8 inches. This will bring the water up to the level of five years ago. With additional heavy rains to come the raise may go above these figures. Students of the High School will present Augustin Daly's greatest comedy success "A Night Off" at the Opera House tomorrow evening. To those who have had the pleasure of seeing the original company in this greatest of all comedies it will appear the students are ambitious to a degree in attempting to produce it. But rehearsals show they will give an excellent program. Among those in cast are Max Carmichael, George Christensen, Alfred Heying, Lucian Wisser, Blanche Mickle, Leah Lawrence, Lulu Goble and others. Pete Weisel brought down from Los Angeles on Tuesday a four-cylinder Ford roadster, which he regards as about the best thing on wheels hereabouts. It is a sixteen horse-power machine, was not the actual owner of the profits from his business, but a trustee whose duty it was to return that money to the public from which it came, in the form of schools, hospitals, and other philanthropic endowments. FRANKLIN. I got a letter the other day from an organization which calls itself "The Benjamin Franklin." Printed on the letterhead were the name of a hundred or so members, every one of whom has the letters "B. F." as his first initials. Benjamin Franklin has been dead 142 years, but parents still name their sons after him, and in America they probably will continue to do so till the end of time. If I were asked to name the one man whose work, teaching and example have exercised the most enduring influence on the people of the United States of America, I would have no hesitation in naming Benjamin Franklin. AIR. A firm of household furnace manufacturers, has put on the market an air-conditioning system for use in individual homes. If it works as promised, the home of the future will never have any open windows, but the air will always be fresh, properly humidified and at a comfortable temperature the year round. I fully expect that the replacement of present heating and ventilating methods by one or another of the new air-conditioning systems will be one of the biggest industries in the United States within two or three years. EXHIBITIONS. Next year Chicago will have a World's Fair, the first in that city for forty years, the first in America since the rather inadequate Sesquicentennial at Philadelphia in 1926. In Europe the tendency is toward permanent exhibitions of industries, science and art, and beginning this year, the city of Berlin is inaugurating a suc- Pete Weisel brought down from Los Angeles on Tuesday a four-cylinder Ford roadster, which he regards as about the best thing on wheels hereabout. It is a sixteen horse-power machine, weighs 1000 pounds and can speed fifty miles an hour. Pete has promised us a ride in it. A. Nagel will in a few days let a contract for erection of a two story brick building at the corner of Claudina and Center streets, 35x80 feet. He will occupy the lower floor for his hardware store and the rooms upstairs will be fitted for offices. A. A. Litten has purchased the blacksmith business of W. C. Hayes on North Los Angeles street and will continue the business at the old stand. S. Tucker has sold ten acres of unimproved property north east of town to Frank Lagourge for $1200. A large delegation of Turners go to San Diego on Saturday morning to attend the opening of the new gymnasium and hall built by the German Societies of that city. Three days festivities will be participated in, including athletic contests and various entertainments and reunions. George Ross and family have arrived from Peoria and will remain during the winter. Mr. Ross is very favorably impressed with Anaheim and vicinity and may resolve to remain here. Clemens Amberg on Saturday sold to Tony Bushard his four lots at the corner of Hedwig and Center streets, 160 feet front for $3050, the transfer meeting him $2900. Last October he purchased the lost for $1950. His profits on the deal amounts to $950. Mrs. Edith Green Lawrence of Ocean Park spent the past week with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Green of Miraflores. Frank Tausch and Fred Schneider took their best girls to the theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday night, returning on the midnight train. Appraise Estate of Strain at $330,000 Petition of Thomas Strain Jr. and Mrs. Jane Pierotti, children, for letters of administration for the estate of the late Thomas Strain of Placentia, filed last week appraised the estate at $330,629.46. The inventory lists the Placentia citrus grove at $135,000; oil lands at Playa Del Rey at about $98,000; property in Santa Monica at $60,000; San Bernardino county property at $2600; Los Angeles city property, $2750; personal property at 32,435; including about $28,000 in stocks, notes, accounts and citrus crop; $2800 in cash and $1700 in furniture and ranch equipment. The income from the estate is estimated at about $60,000 per year. Claims filed against the estate shown in court records total $38,235.81, the chief item being $31,148 in notes claimed by a son-in-law, A. Pierotti, Placentia. cession of exhibitions which are expected to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors from all parts of the world. The modern idea of an exhibition is to show how things are made, with the machinery actually in motion. Few permanent museums can keep that sort of an exhibit up to date. That is why everybody who can possibly do so ought to begin planning now to go to Chicago next year, to see what promises to be the most complete and interesting exhibition that has ever been held. CORRECTION. By one of those slips of the pen to which every writer is liable. I made Miss Mary Emma Woolley president of Wellesley College in speaking of her appointment to the International Disarmament Conference. Miss Woolley used to teach at Wellesley, but she is president of Mount Holyoke that highly esteemed college for women founded in 1837 by Mary Lyon.

One of the Bible selections presents Christ Jesus' words: "A new commandment I give unto you. That ye love one another as I have loved you, that yo also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
