IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 6, 1882 The newly elected board of town trustees met on Monday and organized by re-electing Mr. B. Dreyfus president. The following standing committees were appointed: Public Improvements, Messrs. Northam, Boege and Dreyfus; Finance, Messrs. Zeyn, Saxton, and Boege; Ordinance, Messrs. Zeyn, Saxton and Northam. The bonds of the marshal, assessor and justice of the peace were approved. The committee on Public Improvements was instructed to ascertain the cost of a 50,000 gallon water tank and tower, and the cost of different sizes of water pipe, with a view to improving the water system. At a regular meeting on Wednesday ordinances were adopted changing the place of meeting to the Odd Fellows Hall building; levying a road poll tax of $2.00 for the current year and a deg tax of $1.00. Theo Lynill Esq. was appointed town attorney. The other business was of a routine nature. The want of a Free Reading Room has long been felt in Anaheim, and it gives us pleasure to announce that the young men of this place propose to remedy that want. A canvass made among our people shows that they are kindly disposed toward the project. It is proposed to organize a club, rent the first floor of the Masonic hall, fit it up with gymnastic apparatus and a billiard table, and partition off a reading room which latter will be free to everybody, the right to use the gymnasium and billiard table, of course, being reserved for members of the club. A meeting will be held on Friday night at the Masonic hall to perfect details of the organization. We advise our readers to use extra precautions for the protection of their horses, as this neighborhood appears to be just now infested with horse thieves. On Tuesday night an unsuccessful attempt was made to steal the horses of F. J. J. Schmidt in Anaheim Extension. Soon after nightfall a valuable hound Masonic hall, fit it up with gymnastic apparatus and a billiard table, and partition off a reading room which latter will be free to everybody, the right to use the gymnasium and billiard table, of course, being reserved for members of the club. A meeting will be held on Friday night at the Masonic hall to perfect details of the organization. We advise our readers to use extra precautions for the protection of their horses, as this neighborhood appears to be just now infested with horse thieves. On Tuesday night an unsuccessful attempt was made to steal the horses of F. J. J. Schmidt in Anaheim Extension. Soon after nightfall a valuable hound, which was an excellent watchdog, was mysteriously shot dead with a bullet, and about 2 o'clock a.m., the men who sleep in a room adjoining the stable were disturbed by horses outside, evidently made to ascertain if anyone was on watch. The thieves having been seen to lead out a young mare and tie her to a tree (preparatory to bringing other horses from the stable) were speedily fired upon and whether wounded or not, were able to get off the premises, but happily leaving all of Mr. Schmidt's horses behind them. The cut-worm is reported to be plying his vocation in some of the vineyards of the county, to the damage of vines, but the Anaheim vineyards are almost free from them this year. It is the experience of our vineyardists that when a vineyard is kept scrupulously free from weeds there is no danger to be feared from the worms, but if by inattention or neglect the weeds are allowed to grow the worms will surely make their appearance in large numbers. The case of W. D. Lamb against J. B. Raine, in which defendant was charged with unlawfully cutting wood on the Bolsas, came up for trial before Justice Gannon on Wednesday last and was continued until May 17th on account of the absence of a material witness. In the same court G. W. Cox lodged a complaint against Lamb for assault with a deadly weapon, the affray growing out of the wood-cutting case. A change of venue was taken to Compton. In Justice Bailey's court, four Chinamen will be tried on Monday for illegally cutting wood on Las Bolsas. An anecdote related of Oscar Wilde is that at the outset of his career as an aesthete he would repair to an eating house about lunch time, gaze perisively at a lily for a half hour, and then announce the nutriment of the lily through the medium of his eyes, for had the flower got into his stomach there would have been an internal commotion that would have been painfully realistic. Such was the experience of Master Emil Dreyfus last Saturday. With the thoughtlessness of childhood he plucked a lily and sucked the juice through the stem. The result was that the doctor had him under treatment for a serious and well defined case of poisoning from which the little patient did not recover for a couple of days. Although the weather was somewhat unpleasant in the early morning and continued cloudy the whole day, it did not seem to dampen the spirits of one among the hundreds who attended the May day picnic at the Santiago oak grove last Monday. The attendance was the largest ever assembled in the grove and every locality in the county was represented. Amusements comprised a dancing pavilion, shooting gallery, groquet swings etc. and there... Although the weather was somewhat unpleasant in the early morning and continued cloudy the whole day, it did not seem to dampen the spirits of one among the hundreds who attended the May day picnic at the Santiago oak grove last Monday. The attendance was the largest ever assembled in the grove and every locality in the county was represented. Amusements comprised a dancing pavilion, shooting gallery, croquet, swings etc., and there were ice cream, fruit and delicacies in abundance. The Anaheim brass band in full uniform was in attendance at the pavilion, contributed a large share to the enjoyment not only of the dancers, but to all those on the grounds who had any appreciation at all for good music. Col. Geo. B. Griffin has been surveying during the week for the Anaheim Water company. The object of the present survey is to verify the report made last year by another engineer in regard to the capacity and cost of the company's reservoir. The company is acting on Davy Crockett's motto of being sure they are right before going ahead. Mr. J. F. Marquis died in Los Angeles on Monday of an attack of pneumonia. The body was buried in Anaheim on Tuesday, and the funeral was largely attended by his friends from Westminster and Anaheim. Mr. Marquis was formerly a resident of the former place. He served with distinction during the war as Captain of Battery K, 2nd Illinois Artillery. Mr. Hippolyte Cahen has leased the brick store now being built opposite the Planters Hotel and will occupy it as soon as it is completed — probably about the middle of June. The adjoining store will be occupied by Messrs. Goodman & Rimpau, but its completion will be delayed somewhat on account of the scarcity of brick. Dr. G. H. Bailey having leased his home here for a long time will on Monday leave with his family for Southern Texas, his old home. We wish them a pleasant voyage and hope to be able to record their return here before very long. Mr. J. P. Zeyn left on Thursday for San Francisco to attend the meeting of the Grand Lodge of I. O. O. F. which convenes on the 9th inst. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 9, 1907 A citizens meeting was held at the city hall on Monday evening for purpose of devising ways and means for raising $4000 for the purchase of the Hart lot on Center street, the same to be deeded the water company as a site for a headquarters office.

Body The railroad commission has accepted for filing two new optional electric power schedules P-25 and P-26, covering the sale of electric power for agricultural pumping in the San Joaquin Valley and Southern California districts respectively of the Southern California Edison company. Ltd. These two new schedules are designed upon the minimum charge and energy basis as distinguished from the demand and energy basis of the two existing schedules with which they are optional, namely, P-4 and P-11. They were submitted for approval by the Edison company, after conference with California Farm Bureau federation, for the purpose of meeting the objections of consumers to the demand charge set forth in the P-4 and P-11 rates. The essential difference between schedules P-25 and P-26 and schedules P-4 and P-11, with which they are optional, respectively, is that in schedules P-25 and P-26, no demand charge is set out as such, but a minimum charge applies, which in the case of schedules P-4 and P-11 the demand charge is set out separately.
