IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Centurial Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orlando 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK APRIL 28, 1882 The two lodges of I. O. O. F. in Anaheim, Anaheim Lodge No. 199 and Orpheus Lodge No. 237, united in celebrating the sixty-third anniversary of Odd Fellowship in the United States by giving an entertainment on Wednesday evening at Kroeger's hall. The ingenuity and taste of Mr. P. D. Gardemeyer, who had charge of the decorations gave the hall an unique and handsome appearance which called for general remark. The hall was filled with invited guests and the lodges have reason to congratulate themselves upon the success of their celebration. The first number on the program was by the Bears band. Those taking part were Mr. H. Gilman, Wesley Alms, N.A. Bittner, Albert Bittner, J. Jakeway, Henry Padderatz, William Kroeger and Harry Cowan. Dressed in their new uniforms they looked well and their selections were well rendered. The Lieder Kranz sang in perfect accord the songs of the Fatherland. Members taking part were Prof. Finch, C. and J. Bennerscheidt, D. J. Sorenson, Max Nebelung, J. C. Sommer, H. A. Boege, C. Schindler, K. Knapke, F. Donrad. The young ladies singing club composed of Misses Fannie and Maggie Higgins, Amanda and Laura Clark, Josephine and Gleanora Fesenfeld, Ida Witte, Amanda Warling, Eva Goodrich, Katie White, Emma Granet. Their sweet young voices made pleasant music and their songs were one of the most delightful features of the entertainment. Judge Bailey's address was an able and eloquent effort. Mr. Lynill was also down on the program for an address, but legal business required his absence from town on that evening. After the entertainment dancing was indulged in until 1 o'clock in the morning and altogether the evening was one long to be remembered. One hundred and fifty votes were polled at the election for 25 YEAR Spake & McCollum building on Center stage projecting over the tractor Lagman is ably the oldest one in berger nearly fifty years by A.

A bitter fight is One hundred and fifty votes were polled at the election for town officers on Monday. This is the highest vote ever cast at any municipal election in Anaheim, and it is indisputable evidence of the growth of the place. Although the vote was a full one, yet, at all elections, there were a number of citizens who for various reasons did not cast their ballots and there is no doubt that the number of voters in the town limits number nearly, if not, quite one hundred and seventy. The result of the election is follows: Trustees (first five elected), T. J. F. Boege, 127; J. P. Deyn, 121; E. A. Saxton, 118; Ben Dreyfus, 99; R. J. Northam, 90; H. Wender, 53; P. Davis, 48; Assessor, C. H. Zeyn, 143; Glerk, Richard Melrose, 100; A. W. Steinhart, 49; Marshal, F. W. Tyler, 70; L. Wartenberg, 31; D. K. Williams, 24; A. T. J. Voight, 24. Treasurer, Geo. B. Shaffer, 142. Justice of the Peace, Alexander Bailey, 92; T. L. Gannon, 54. The following statistics regarding property in Anaheim school district are compiled from the books of the district assessor: Value of real estate other than town lots $119,211.00 Value of improvements thereon 42,675.00 Value of town lots 41,962.00 Value of improvements thereon 71,835.00 Value of improvements on town lots assessed to persons other than the owners of lots 1,100.00 Value of personal property 124,369.00 Total valuation of property in district $401,152.00 The board of trustees have fixed the rate at thirty cents on the one hundred dollars. Taxes are now due and payable to the collector, Richard Melrose at the Gazette office. A thrifty, well-kept vineyard, such as those in Anaheim, is a pretty sight at this time of the year. The shoots are a few inches long, and the delicate green of the leaves against the dark background of soil and vine make a pretty picture. The grapes are getting abundantly and unless there is some untoward occurrence the crop will be the largest ever harvested. It is perhaps too soon to indulge in such rosy anticipations, but one cannot but feel elated over the present outlook. This is from the Riverside Press:—“The Anaheim Water company by the recent decision of the supreme court has a right to its ditch full of water at all times and seasons of the year, said ditch to be six feet wide at bottom, eight feet wide at top and two feet deep. This ditch is on a grade of 13 feet to the mile and we are creditably informed will carry all the water in the river during the dry season. The board of town trustees at its meeting on Wednesday afternoon adopted an amendment to section 10 of Ordinance No. XII This is from the Riverside Press:—“The Anaheim Water company by the recent decision of the supreme court has a right to its ditch full of water at all times and seasons of the year, said ditch to be six feet wide at bottom, eight feet wide at top and two feet deep. This ditch is on a grade of 13 feet to the mile and we are creditably informed will carry all the water in the river during the dry season. The board of town trustees at its meeting on Wednesday afternoon adopted an amendment to section 10 of Ordinance No. XII providing that any person or persons owning or caring for any horses, mares, mules, jennets, cattle, goats, sheep, or swine and shall suffer same to run at large, be herded or picketed upon any of the highways or public grounds of the town of Anaheim or shall permit them to encroach upon said highways or public grounds shall upon conviction, be fined in a sum not exceeding ten dollars for each offence, orim prisoned not exceeding five days.” From Mr. Ainsworth of Orange, we learn that statements in regard to the prevalence of red scale in that section are grossly exaggerated. The pest is confined to a few orchards, and a vigorous war of extermination has already begun. The orchards not infected are closely watched, and there is every reason to believe that the enemy will be confined to a very limited area. An excursion party of one hundred and forty persons arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday and are “doing,” the county. A press excursion from Texas and other portions of the east, to California, especially the southern portion of the state, will arrive next Tuesday. Governor Perkins has appointed the following Notaries Public for Los Angeles county: W. H. Moulthrop to reside at Wilmington; Frank A. Gibson to reside at Los Angeles; Romayne Williams to reside at Pasadena, and Richard Egan to reside at San Juan Capistrano. Rev. J. A. Emery will leave for San Francisco on Monday to attend the Episcopal conference which meets at that city on Wednesday. Messrs. Polhemus and Hopkins, owners of a large interest in the Stearns Ranchos, have been in town for a week past and have studied the situation here very thoroughly. We have hopes of good results from their visit. Mr. George Irvin of the San Joaquin ranch made us a pleasant call on Saturday in company of Mr. T. S. Harris, editor of the Santa Ana Standard. OF LONG AGO In a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1907 Spake & McCollum have torn down the front porch of their building on Center street together with that portion of the roof projecting over the porch and will install a modern front. Contractor Lagman is in charge of the work. The building is probably the oldest one in this city having been erected by A. Langenberger nearly fifty years ago. A story is current that while in course of erection the east wall collapsed and killed two of the workmen engaged upon it. The structure was occupied for many years by A. Langenberger as a general merchandise store, and was the center of the business portion of the city. In the early 70's the store was the scene of the first burglary in the history of the early settlement. During the night thieves bored a hole through the front wall, using crowbars and made an aperture large enough to admit a man. A quantity of goods together with considerable cash was stolen. The old building will be ornamented with a new front and will be given a modern up-to-date appearance. What is this we hear of the possibility of abandoning the celebration of the town's fiftieth anniversary because of apathy on the part of subscribers? Can our citizens afford thus to pass the celebration by? Gentlemen from whom a subscription of $100 was expected sidestepped and said to the committee, "Nothing doing." Houses which should reasonably be expected to contribute $100 say $50 is the limit. This will never do. We must have the celebration. The canvassing committee will again call upon our citizens. Let us hope they will be received in a more liberal spirit. A bitter fight is on in the Republican ranks of Fullerton over What is this we hear of the possibility of abandoning the celebration of the town's fiftieth anniversary because of apathy on the part of subscribers?

Let us hope they will be received in a more liberal spirit. A bitter fight is on in the Republican ranks of Fullerton over the office of postmaster and promises to split the party into factions. It is all caused by the recommendation of the county central committee. Vivian Tressler resigned a week ago and nine candidates at once entered the field. Lew Edwards has been endorsed by the committee. W. J. Hill has purchased through the W. F. Lutz Co. of Santa Ana a new separator which arrived this week from Racine. Wis. It will take the place of the separator destroyed by fire last summer. Mr. Hill will begin threshing operations shortly and looks for a favorable season although the grain output will not be so large as had been expected earlier in the year on account of the continued wet weather during the winter. A large body of land which under more favorable circumstances would have been seeded to grain was not placed under cultivation. The Savings, Loan and Building association will hold its annual meeting on Monday evening when a new board of directors will be chosen. The books of Secretary Backs show a very satisfactory increase in business during the year past. The association has been in existence nineteen years and has accomplished much in assisting in building up the community. Aunt Sarah Keener, a pioneer of West Anaheim, died in Los Angeles on Saturday after a lingering illness, being at the time of her death in her seventy-third year. She was a sister of K. A. R. Keener and the late Mrs. Gardner with whim she lived for many years at their comfortable home in the West End. The party arrived here in 1868. Some years ago deceased removed to Los Angeles. She died at the home of her niece, Mrs. R. L. Coons. Interment occurred in Anaheim cemetery on Monday. The Apollo club met with Mrs. Henry Adams April 26th. C. M. V. Weber being the chosen composer. The following ladies took part in the program: Mrs. Otto Storm, Mrs. J. W. Wallop, Miss Yorba, Mrs. J. J. Schneider, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Harry Dyer, Miss Theresa Fay, Mrs. P. J. Weisel. The city well pit being excavated by Emmet & Dyer at the site of the new power house on Los Angeles street experienced a bad cave-in on Monday morning at 11 o'clock. The pit had been excavated to a depth of 26 feet, when the east side collapsed, crashing through the thin wooden casing, and filling the pit to a depth of 12 feet. Two men, Jesse Wilson and John Kothe, were at work at the bottom of the pit, and narrowly escaped with their lives. Had it not been for the two well pipes, which still stand in the pit, they would probably have been buried. Chester Spencer has completed taking the school census of this district and reports 667 children between the ages of 5 and The city well pit being excavated by Emmet & Dyer at the site of the new power house on Los Angeles street experienced a bad cave-in on Monday morning at 11 o'clock.

Of this number there are 315 boys and 352 girls. Total number of children in district 846. Four and six-horse loads of cabbage are being hauled into town for shipment. Twenty-one carloads of cabbage and sixteen of oranges have been sent out by the Southern Pacific during the week. Three carloads of cabbage are going out daily. Prices range from $17 per ton up. Miss Emma Feather and Miss Lillian Clabaugh departed yesterday for Advance, Ind., on a visit to relatives and friends. They will be absent three or four months. Weisel and Sandilands have at their garage a new four-cylinder Ford machine which last week won the mile race at Lakeside (San Diego) track. The machine made a mile in one minute, 25 seconds. It is an easy riding runabout and in workmanship and finish compares favorably with the best in the market. Mrs. L. E. Miller suffered a painful sprain of the ankle some days ago in her husband's hardware by falling from a sliding ladder. She is improving and will doubtless soon be all right again. W. I. Carver sold four acres of his tract northwest of town to Mr. Haines, a recent arrival from Minnesota. The purchaser will erect a residence, sink a ten-inch well, plant trees and go in for poultry. Joseph Backs and family, J. H. Boney and family, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. M. Backs Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Wagner picnicked at Anaheim Landing on Sunday. On account of the Fiesta the Columbia Historical club will meet Wednesday, May 15th at 2:30 instead of May 8th, at the home of Mrs. Chester E. Holcomb, North Los Angeles street. A. W. Danforth was in town from Pasadena a few days ago on a brief business mission. Unemployed of City Organize W. B. Pemberton Was Named President; Group Formulates Its Purposes Anaheim's unemployed, functioning through their own organization, this week had under consideration methods of conserving food, securing employment, setting a scale of wages and otherwise looking out for their own problems as a result of their organization at the Fromont school last Thursday evening, when they elected officers and adopted tentative by-laws.
