IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Centennial History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orlando 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Never before in the history of this section have the stock raisers been in such a dilemma as they now find themselves. Dry years there have ben, and to spare, but there has always been an opportunity to drive their flocks to contiguous territory where there was sufficient feed to carry them through the season. It is different this year however. The drouth is general and there is nothing for the sheep men to do but to bide their time as patiently as they can. In a conversation we had with Capt. A. S. Ferguson the other day, he gave us a clear insight into the present situation. He has been as far as Deming and carefully inspected the adjacent country with a view to transporting his sheep there. After carefully weighing the matter, he decided that to take his flocks there would be to encounter too great a risk. There is an abundance of dry grass in New Mexico, but it is so different from the feed which the sheep of Southern California have been accustomed to that it takes them a long time to get used to it. The sheep are now in a weak condition, and this fact together with the privations which they would necessarily have to endure by being huddled closely in a car for two or three days, while being transported to the end of the railroad, and a subsequent drive of twenty or thirty miles to reach pasturage, would, in the opinion of experts, result in the loss of one-half. This has been the experience of those who sent forward their sheep some time ago while they were in better condition than they are now. There will be no green grass in New Mexico until April. Sheep owners here intend to get along as best as they can until that time and then unless matters are better here send them forward by rail. It is possible however that feed may yet prove abundant in our own county. Two or three inches of rain will start enough grass to support all the sheep in the county. The other day the first shipment of wheat over the Southern Pacific railway to Europe, via New Orleans passed through Los Angeles. It consisted of fifteen car loads, and was gathered The other day the first shipment of wheat over the Southern Pacific railway to Europe, via New Orleans passed through Los Angeles. It consisted of fifteen car loads, and was gathered up in the neighborhood of Merced. We understand that the through rail rate to New Orleans was $15 a ton. We shall soon know whether this will not prove an attractive bait to the ships which ply between New Orleans and Liverpool. The rainfall the night of the 10th, was reported by one gauge as .56 inches and by another as 1.10 inches. But no matter what the true figures were, the rain helped matters very materially. The true measurement of rain in such a season as this is in the good it accomplishes. Another rain on Thursday night added half an inch to the total. The soil is now quite well saturated and growing crops need but little additional moisture to mature. The present famine in hay will be but of short duration. Messrs. Dunham and Schiefflin have leased the Pico house in Los Angeles. The Planters hotel of which Mr. Dunham has a lease until May, will be conducted until that time by Major Tyers, whose efficiency as a hotel keeper is well known to the traveling public. At a recent meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 85 A. O. U. W. a resolution was adopted requesting Rev. J. A. Emery, one of its members, to preach an anniversary sermon, and he has kindly consented to do so. The lodge was instituted on March 5, 1879. The sermon will be preached at St. Michael's Episcopal church on Sunday morning, March 12. Messrs B. Dreyfus & Co., have bought one-half of last years vintage of the Cucamonga vineyard, paying therefore $22,000. The firm owns a one-fourth interest in the vineyard, so that they are in possession of three-fourths of the wine made on that famous vineyard last season. There are 200 acres of bearing vines in the vineyard. The gross income per acre on the basis of the price paid for the vintage is $220. Year before last the mortgage indebtedness of Los Angeles county was decreased fully one million dollars. During the present year the reduction has been much greater. A very significant business sign of the times is embodied in the fact that attachments have been of unprecedentedly rare occurrence during the past year—not one in twenty, in fact, of the hard years which have happily been left behind. We learn from a party who shipped a lot of furniture from Los Angeles the other day that while the Southern Pacific company charged him $2 from Los Angeles to Wilmington a distance of 22 miles, "Admiral Banning extorted $8.29 for ligerage from Wilmington to the steamer." We learn from a party who shipped a lot of furniture from Los Angeles the other day that while the Southern Pacific company charged him $2 from Los Angeles to Wilmington a distance of 22 miles, "Admiral Banning extorted $8.29 for ligterage from Wilmington to the steamer ,a distance of not over three miles. Mr. A. L. Pellegrin has taken some very handsome views of Anaheim's very handsome school house which ought to meet with a ready sale. He has also for sale photographs taken during the ever-to-be-remembered snow-storm. The new postal route bill, recently passed by the house of representatives, provides for a regular route from Anaheim to Westminster. Three hundred and eleven Valentines were mailed at the post-office on Tuesday in addition to those mailed in other places. Last year 330 of these missives were mailed which shows that the custom holds its own here at any rate. It is said that the earthquake of two weeks ago was followed by an increase in the flow of several artesian wells at Westminster. This is the first time that any good results from these shakes have been recorded. G. W. Swart, a teamster, while teaming between Mohave station and Los Angeles last week, was caught between two wagons while coupling them near Elizabeth Lake and very severely hurt. He was taken to Los Angeles and on Sunday morning he died of his injuries. He was a member of Los Angeles A. O. U. W. Fred Rueter of Santa Ana was shot and killed by T. B. Hulse of Orange on Wednesday at the latter town. The two men had been enemies for some time and engaged in an altercation on Wednesday morning, with the result that Rueter was almost instantly killed by Hulse. Theo Lynill, Esq. of Anaheim has been engaged by Reuter's relatives to prosecute the murderer, OF LONG AGO And a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Book of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK Only one bid was received for erecting the proposed new power house by the city trustees on Tuesday evening and that was rejected as being twice the amount the city proposed to expend upon the building. The bid was submitted by C. Schindler & Son, and was in the amount of $9,850, while the specifications call for a structure costing $4,500. The board rejected the bid and determined to alter the plans. Herman Schindler discussed with the board various features of the structure which could with profit be changed. Mr. Schenck was instructed to make such changes in the house as will bring it within the contemplated cost. The altered plan will be submitted to the board at a meeting to be held on Tuesday evening next. Six bids were opened for furnishing arc lights and electrical apparatus. The bids were referred to Engineer Lewis for inspection and report at the next Tuesday meeting. Joseph Helmsen was in superior court yesterday in his capacity as administrator of the Bittner estate. Joseph goes to court once a year, and on each occasion gives a faithful account of his stewardship. He has $2000 in his possession which will go to two minors when they attain their majority several years hence. The money is on deposit in a savings bank and has for years been drawing interest. The German-American bank has issued a statement of the monthly increase in its deposits, since opening for business something over a year ago, which shows it to be in a truly flourishing condition. The bank opened for business January 8, 1906, since which time its deposits have grown from $16,893.00 on February 1, 1906 to $93,729.34 on February 1, 1907. Officers and directors of the bank are: H. W. Chynoweth president; Joseph Helmsen, vice-president; Charles A. Boege, cashier. Directors, H. W. Chynoweth, Joseph Helmsen, Edwin Tirim Cornell, Joseph Helmsen, Edwin Tirim Cornell. State Doubling Quail Production 100 Pens With Electric Hatchers Ready for Propagation at Chino Game Farm Quail season will soon start at the state game farms near Youngtville and Chino. Not the hunting season that the sportsman generally conceives but the season for egg laying and hatching. And affairs are going to be booming with the thiny little chicks this year because arrangements have been made to more than double the production. In fact, August Bade, superintendent of game farms for the division of fish and game, said that plans are already complete to increase the output by several thousand birds. At Chino the pen space for quail is also being doubled. There will be at least 100 pens ready for the birds that are destined to augment the stock of Southern California. Even though this farm is somewhat smaller than the parent farm at Yountville, the production will be pushed to capacity. Bade said that one of the greatest difficulties, disease problems, has been practically overcome through the use of electric hatchers and brooders. The proud little birds get some very independent notions about laying and unless the greatest care is taken in preparing the pens and handling, the birds success is apt to be limited. The bird raised and matured will be liberated on refuge lands as well as on quail depleted areas and will form the basis stock for the generations to come. NOTICE OF SALE UNDER DEED OF TRUST. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that C. S. CROOKSHANK and C. W. RAIRDON, as trustees under that certain deed of trust recorded February 8, 1930 in Book 344, page 445 of Official Records of Orange County, California. The German-American bank has issued a statement of the monthly increase in its deposits, since opening for business something over a year ago, which shows it to be in a truly flourishing condition. The bank opened for business January 8, 1906, since which time its deposits have grown from $16,893.00 on February 1, 1906 to $93,729.34 on February 1, 1907.

Chynoweth, Joseph Helmsen, Edwin Barr, Tim Carroll, Sr., A. Nagel, Wm. McLaughlin, Dr. J. L. Beebe, Ed. Michod, W. A. Bonynge. County officers who secured bonds from surety companies have to pay for their own bonds. This is the ruling of District Attorney Davis. This means that all but three of the county officers will have to put their hands in their pockets. The three officers who gave personal bonds are County Treasurer Joplin, Sheriff Jacy and County Recorder Peters. The ruling will fall heaviest upon the tax collector whose bond costs $125 a year. County clerk Williams has to put up $25 a year, the supervisors $15, County Auditor Lester $16, the constables and justices $7.50, and other officers from $4.50 to $15. The Board of Supervisors have selected three attorneys to serve as trustees of the law library. They are Richard Melrose of Anaheim and R. Y. Williams and H. C. Head of Santa Ana. According to the present provisions $1.00 of all filing fees of new cases in the county clerk's office is devoted to the law library and the amount of money for the library is dependent upon the number of cases taken into the upper court. W. H. Spake returned on Friday from a weeks visit to update points, including Bakersfield, Visali, San Francisco and Sacramento. While in the latter city he visited the legislature. San Francisco is rebuilding rapidly, he said, and business is progressing favorably in all quarters. A civil case involving an attempt to collect $170 as commission on a land deal west of town occupied the attention of Judge Howard on Monday. The suit was that of the Robert Mitchel company of Los Angeles versus Alex Escelle. Local and Los Angeles attorneys pawed the air about the city hall during the entire time devoted to the trial and at its conclusion court announced the case would be taken under advisement. The foundation for A. Nagel's two-story brick building has been installed and bricklayers are at work upon the walls. Ground was broken on Thursday and large quantities of pressed brick is on the site. The building will be 37x80 and will be one of the most substantial as well as ornamental structures in town. C. Schindler has the contract. Emil Boege carried off the honors for Company E at the competitive drill for the state medal at San Diego. Boege missed the medal by a slight margin, finishing second after a San Diego guardsman, who won by a fluke. Twenty men participated.

Emil Boege carried off the honors for Company E at the competitive drill for the state medal at San Diego. Boege missed the medal by a slight margin, finishing second after a San Diego guardsman, who won by a fluke. Twenty men participated. Along with Boege were Harry Speilman, Herman Schindlia, Giles Young and Ed. Blake. The latter, supposed to be the crack man of the team went down by misunderstanding orders for a simple part of the manual of arms. Probably another try for the medal will be made in the near future. Bobby Heinrichs, the popular young bicycle dealer and Miss Jessie Shields, recently arrived from Texas, were married in Santa Ana on Thursday. Rev. Fuller officiating. The young couple will make their home in this city. Godfrey Stock and his sister, Mrs. H. C. Gade and two little daughters departed on Friday for Blissfield, Michigan, in response to telegraphic advices to the effect that Mr. Stock's father was critically ill, and bidding him to come. The old gentleman is aged 75 years, but until recently has been enjoyment of robust health. A. Arnold, proprietor of the Anaheim cigar factory, has beenaling his friends with sample boxes of fine Havana cigars. Those falling to the lot of this office are pronounced the finest cigars the force ever enjoyed, and Mr. Arnold's return viist will look forward to with interest. Ninty hundredths of an inch of rain fell in showers during the early part of the week, bringing the total for the season, according to Mr. Dickels gauge to 14.13 inches. Last year to date the rainfall amounted to 10 inches. Henry Oelkers, J. Zeigler, Joe Hessell, Dr. Paschall and a delegation of Oil Well boys took in the San Diego celebration the last part of the week. N. H. Mitchell of Los Angeles has been in town for several days accompanied by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Willis Mitchell. Placentia Sanitary Will Elect March 7 Placentia Sanitary district on March 7 will elect two trustees and an assessor, probably using the chamber of commerce building as polling place.

This was announced today by E. Raymond Cato, chief of the California highway patrol, who explained that his men made a special effort against this type of offender during the year. A total of 1,775 licenses were revoked for all causes. Next to driving while drunk, failure to pay judgments involving negligence was the greatest contributing factor in revocations. There were 71 revocations for reckless driving and 42 for excessive speed. Licenses were taken away from 183 minors at the request of parents and guardians. The department refused licenses to 115 applicants during the year for various reasons. H. V. WEISEL ATTORNEY-AT-LAW Civil and Probate Matters Only PHONE 2027 or 2068 607 Bank of America Bldg.
