IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MARCH 11, 1882 During a visit which we made to the warehouse of Mr. E. Germain, the Los Angeles commission merchant to whose courtesy we are indebted for a weekly market report, several matters were brought to our notice which growers and shippers of fruit should be made acquainted with. On the day of our visit a consignment of oranges in boxes had been received from this neighborhood. Attention was called to them as a fair sample of all the consignments received. To ship the fruit as received would be to speedily disgust consumers with Los Angeles oranges and close the market against them. Good and bad, large and small oranges were packed promiscuously in every box. The good fruit packed in a box alone would command a high figure but mixed with inferior fruit it would not sell for enough to pay the freight charges. These consignments are all repacked by Mr. Germain's employes, the good segregated from the bad, and in many instances it is found that the most profitable way to dispose of the latter is to dump it in the river. There is no market for poor oranges. Whole cartloads of them are frequently dumped in the river by Mr. Germain and other commission merchants. It is folly, therefore, to pay freight on fruit from Anaheim, Orange or Santa Ana to Los Angeles and then have the fruit disposed of in the manner described. Ship no bad oranges, and do not mix first and second class fruit in the same box. Again, it is wrong to pack oranges in boxes immediately after picking them from the tree. In such a case they swell and break the box. Do not pack them until two or three days after picking. The question which occupies the thoughts of vineyard owners about this time of the year is "Will there be frost?" The critical period is from the first to the thirteenth of April and the extreme cold weather which has been characteristic of the present season gives reason to fear a visitation from the April frosts. The smoke preventive will be resorted to by Anaheim vineyardists. In Judge Sepulveda's court on Monday the following proceedings were had: "In re-empaneling of the grand jury—jury emanated as follows: Gov. Jamie Highland Park Whitaker, wishing busy, it amounting to Park. Gov. purchasing 6 times for her land at $25 p.m. before many evidences of lieves the Park. The board probably selected ment to furnish and Los Angles library any expense Konig considered raised and t Whether other content ourselves. Anaheim officers Thursdays S. W.; A. L. Helmsen, Secs S.

At Riverside, Ranchito and El Monte there are societies for the prevention of horse-stealing, and it is proposed to organize a similar society in Anaheim. By co-operating it would be difficult for thieves to run off stolen horses without being detected, and the knowledge that such a society was in existence would deter thieves from attempting to ply their vocation. The horses belonging to members of the society are described in a pamphlet, with which every member is supplied. Full particulars will be given to inquirers by Mr. L. Wartenberg, who is organizing the society here. Twenty persons have so far signified their intention of joining it. The third anniversary of the organization of Anaheim Lodge No. 85, A. O. U. W. is to be observed by the preaching of a sermon by Rev. J. A. Emery at the Episcopal church tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock from the text: "The children ought not to provide for the parents but the parents for the children." 1st Corinthians 12th chapter. Mr. Emery is a member of the order, and the sermon is given by request of the lodge. We feel warranted in saying that the subject will be treated in a manner interesting to everybody, and it is expected that a large audience will gather to hear it. Mr. J. W. Bixby, of the Alamitos rancho, is now engaged in seeding two hundred acres of alfalfa on the moist land of the ranch. Heretofore he has had to drive his calves to his ranch in the Yorba settlement for pasture. Mr. Bixby is also boring artesian wells, and making other improvements which will make the Alamitos the finest stock ranch in the southern part of the state. The sale of property on which state and county taxes are delinquent has not yet been begun, because of an injunction laid upon the Tax Collectors of the various counties by the railroad companies. The sale is adjourned from day to day, but it is probable that the superior court of San Francisco, which granted the injunction, will give some decision shortly which will permit of some action. Two men named Richardson and Briggs, got into a row at the Rincon, San Bernardino county, on Monday, while intoxicated. Richardson drew a pistol and shot Briggs four times hitting him in each side and also wounding him in the arm and hand. His wounds are painful but not fatal. Anaheim officers Thursdays S. W.; A. L.

An irrigation ditch is now being built to carry water to Garden Grove. The farmers of that vicinity propose to become to a great extent independent of the rainfall, by winter irrigating their lands. It is said that they intend to enter into some arrangements with the Anaheim Water company to furnish them with water. Dwight Whiting, the ostrich shark who visited Anaheim a couple of years ago, is now in San Bernardino. He has proposed to the people there that if they will subscribe $20,000, he will put up $50,000 and start an ostrich farm. When Mr. Whiting was here, he said the land in this vicinity was too good and valuable to make ostrich farms of it. On Friday morning of last week, the store of George Comptor, in which the postoffice was located, was destroyed by fire. Incendiarism is suspected. A timely explosion of powder aroused the family in time to make their escape from the burning building. The loss is $10,000. Insurance $4,000. The new residence of A. Langenberger is now receiving the finishing touches and will be ready for occupancy in a month or so. It is a handsome, commodious building and one of the most sumptuous homes in the county. Mr. B. F. Seibert put up a new windmill on his ranch near Garden Grove last week, and a few days afterwards some malicious person tampered with the bolts causing a smash in the pump and mill. The removal of Major Tyus to Los Angeles is regretted by all who have made the Planters Hotel their stopping place. The Major now officiates at the Pico House, Los Angeles. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1907 Gov. James A. Whitaker, father of Buena Park, but now of Highland Park, Los Angeles, made us a call on Tuesday. Mr. Whitaker, who will be 80 years old next month cannot help keeping busy, it seems, as he informs us he sold 37 carloads of hay amounting to about 370 tons of last year's crop from Buena Park. Gov. Whitaker located in Buena Park twenty years ago purchasing 690 acres of land. He says now, looking back over the intervening years that it was at low tide in his financial fortunes for he owed $14,000 upon his holdings, but by purchasing land at $25 per acre and selling for $125 he speedily recouped, and before many years had a fat bank account. He finds many evidences of improvement throughout this section and still believes the Park the finest section in the state. The board of city trustees will meet this evening and will probably select a site for the Carnegie library. A written agreement to furnish deed to the Konig lot at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets will probably be offered, contingent upon the library being located there. The lot will be offered free of any expense to the city. Its original cost was $4,000, but Mr. Konig considerately reduced it to $2,400. This amount has been raised and the lot is ready to be turned over to the city. Whether other free sites will be offered is a matter which we must content ourselves to learn later.

After the installation ceremony an elaborate banquet was Disputes Over Crop Payments Settled Settlement of the claims of two growers against commission merchants involving disputes over crop payments aggregating $5,500 which the growers alleged to be due them, was announced recently by Dudly Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture. The settlement was affected through arbitration of the dispute by Charles J Carey, chief of the bureau of market enforcement with the complaining grower and the produce dealer, and the terms of the settlement were approved by both parties and Director Moulton. As a result of this action, a check for $4,882 was mailed to E. A. Collopy, of San Jose by the United Acceptance Corporation, Los Angeles. Collopy claimed this amount due in payment for several carloads of celery shipped on consignment, and a dispute arose over grades, amount of freight and commission charges. The claim of the United Growers association of Denver against the Wolinsky Brokerage company, Los Angeles, was also settled with the payment of $785 to the growers' organization, which originally sought to obtain $835 which they claimed due them in a dispute over money, alleged due on the payment of two carloads of cauliflower purchased from the Denver association.

After the installation ceremony an elaborate banquet was enjoyed by all present. Rev. Markle of the Christian church yesterday celebrated his sixty-sixth birthday by entertaining at his hospitable home on Citron street a distinguished company of relatives and friends from Los Angeles and elsewhere. The feature of the day was a turkey dinner, the bird having been raised in true orthodox style by the minister, although he states he believes it leaned a little to the Methodist faith. Mrs. Eunice Spence, mother of Mrs. Markle was guest of honor and in the presence of his stern mother-in-law Mr. Markle acted with dignity and propriety during the entire day. Two carloads of excursionists, consisting of members of the Knights of Columbus and their lady and gentlemen friends, went to Santa Monica on Sunday morning to attend the ceremonies incident to breaking ground for a new $100,000 Catholic church. Bishop Conaty presided at the ceremonies and turned the first spadeful of earth. In the evening at a banquet attended by hundreds he lectured upon the subject "American Ideals." The excursionists returned home by special train at 2:30 o'clock on Monday morning. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Hatzfeld entertained the members of the "Four-Four" whist club at their home on Wednesday evening last. Prizes were awarded those receiving the highest number of points during the past three months. The ladies' first prize, a hand painted pitcher and sugar bowl was won by Mrs. Welborn Wallop, the second, a hand painted cream pitcher by Miss Winifred Melrose. Bird V. Beebe won the gentlemen's first prize, a gold stick pin and J. P. Hatzfield the second, a pocket knife. A dainty repast followed the games, the tables being decorated in white and green. Billy Warner and wife while driving on Broadway Sunday afternoon narrowly escaped serious injuries in a runaway. Mr. Warner was driving a spirited team of greys, which became frightened and started to run at the corner of Los Angeles street. The horses turned sharply overturning the buggy and throwing both occupants to the ground. Mrs. Warner was severely bruised, but escaped permanent injury. Mr. Warner clung to the lines and was dragged a block until Center street was reached. Here the runaways were stopped. The team and buggy escaped injury. The occupants of the vehicle escaped with nothing more than a severe shaking up.

The subject is, Resolved, That the power of a court to issue a preliminary injunction previous to a judicial determination of the equity of a case is a dangerous power the exercise of which should be made legally impossible. Anaheim has the affirmative side. The debaters are Roy Firebaugh and Max Carmichael. Charley Federman's stock of dry goods, shoes etc. has been purchased by the new firm of Renner, Quarton and Schumacher, who will on Saturday open the establishment under the new management. The store has been closed during the week to take inventory. Doors will be thrown open on Saturday morning, when the new firm will be at home to its many friends and the public generally. Gus and Hugo Strodthoff on Monday let a contract to C. Schindler and Mr. Bender for erection of a brick building on their Center street lot. The building will be one story, 40 x 65 feet, plate glass front, and of ornamental design. It will cost $3350 and will contain two rooms. C. I. Hoople, the jeweler, will occupy one of the stores. Several applicants are desirous of renting the adjoining room. Alex Wright was in town from his ranch on the north side on Monday. He states the ground is too wet to admit of farming operations, but makes no objections, saying this county can stand all the rain the weather prophet can send. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bauer of Westminster died on Saturday. Interment occurred in the Anaheim cemetery on Sunday. Prof. J. F. Walker of the high school and Mr. Waldorf principal of the grammar schools attended a meeting of the county board of education at Santa Ana on Saturday. Mrs. C. E. Holcomb went to Los Angeles on Monday evening to attend the opera in company of her husband, who is employed in the new department store, Bon Marche.
