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 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 20, 1882 At the meeting held in the Masonic building on last Friday evening for the purpose of organizing a club and free reading room, about twenty-five persons were present. R. M. Barham was called to the chair and E. J. Pellegrin acted as secretary. The object of the meeting was stated, and the various obstacles to be overcome in the organizing of such a society were pretty thoroughly decided. The question being put it was unanimously decided to organize a club, to comprise a free reading room and library, a gymnasium, billard table and such other amusements as could be procured for the use of members. On motion the chair appointed a committee of three consisting of Chas. H. Zeyn (chairman), Wm. Wolf and E. J. Pellegrin to draft a constitution and by-laws, to report at next meeting. A call for members was then made, and sixteen signed the roll. The meeting then adjourned to meet on Friday the 19th inst. At the meeting last evening, the constitution and by-laws were to be voted on and permanent officers elected. During the week the list was increased to about forty members and it was expected that many more would join at the meeting. The support at any rate has been sufficient and the club is now thoroughly organized. We will give a full report of the arrangements made next week. Those of our citizens who feel an interest in the success of this enterprise, which will be alike of benefit to the town and to the members, are requested to join the club and aid the project as much as they can. The desire to build new school houses or improve old ones seems to have taken strong hold upon the people in the various districts of the county. In last week's Gazette there were four legal notices calling for an election in as many districts in this vicinity to vote a tax to build or repair school houses. It is a good idea. A comfortable, tasty school house is or ought to be will give a full report of the arrangements made next week.

In last week's Gazette there were four legal notices calling for an election in as many districts in this vicinity to vote a tax to build or repair school houses. It is a good idea. A comfortable, tasty school house is, or ought to be, a source of pride to the people in the district. The Anaheim school house, by long odds the most handsome structure of the kind in the county, is worth more to the town than the $10,000 expended on it. It is the first building to attract the notice of strangers, and it predisposes them in favor of the community. There is no question about that. Sedgwick Post G. A. R. have invited the various civic and fraternal societies of Anaheim to join with them in the ceremonies of Decoration Day, May 30. The ceremonies will take place in Santa Ana in the forenoon and in Anaheim in the afternoon. The order of exercises will be published next week. Messrs. Leonard, Ey and Gardemeyer have been appointed a committee to solicit donations of flowers, and those who desire to contribute floral decorations will please leave them at Planters hotel on the morning of the 30th. The imports of merchandise at Anaheim depot for the week ending May 12 amounted to 136,160 pounds and the exports to 238,694 pounds. The latter was made up as follows: wine, 112,630 pounds; oranges, lemons and limes, 2,810; eggs, 2980; poultry, 730; wool, 61,138; asphaltum, 30,000; bacon, 1,890; honey, 1385; grain, 21,556; beer, 385; miscellaneous, 3,190. The Secretary of the Interior has directed the issuance of a patent to Jose Mana Aguilar for 1200 acres of land in Los Angeles county, known as Rancho Canada de los Nogales. In the matter of the Ranch Las Virgenes, when a surveyey has been ordered by the Secretary of the Interior but withheld upon recommendation and petition of interested parties pending an opinion by the land commission, Secretary Teller has directed that his original order be executed. Guiteau must hang. The judges have denied his petition for rehearing, and will announce their formal decision next Monday. This was the assassin's last chance, and he will be hanged June 30. Sergeant Mason, who tried to anticipate the hangman by shooting at Guiteau was denied a new trial. It is thought the President will pardon him after a time. A man now in Los Angeles informs the reporter of the Express that the evening before he left Tombstone, which was only a few days ago, a purse of $2,500 was raised to pay for Indian scalps at $10 apiece. Although crops in Los Angeles county are not all that was hoped farmers have much to be thankful for. Short crops are the rule all over the state. Devastating north winds in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys have destroyed all hope of a good idea.

Although crops in Los Angeles county are not all that was hoped farmers have much to be thankful for. Short crops are the rule all over the state. Devastating north winds in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys have destroyed all hope of a good yield of barley and wheat. A trip through San Bernardino county last week revealed about the same condition of affairs as here. There will be no grain raised for export. There will be an abundance of alfalfa hay. San Diego which had considerably more rain during the past winter than the other southern counties will produce fair crops. Mr. Adolph Rimpau who has traveled over the county lately informs us that the crops in spots look very promising. Some of the finest fields of gain in the county can be seen on the irrigated lands about Anaheim. The fruit crop prospect is in marked contrast with the grain crop. The vines, and all kinds of trees are loaded with blossoms. The rare and unpleasant experience of a May frost which visited Napa, Sonoma and contiguous counties on Friday night have done much damage to vines and fruit trees in that section. At the last meeting of the Anaheim Branch I. N. Land League the following officers were elected to serve for one year: President, Wm. Wallace; vice-president, John D. Taylor; treasurer, Tim Carroll; secretary, John J. Bodkin; sergeant-at-arms, Wm. Kelley. Dr. George H. Bailey and family left on Monday for Leslie, Texas. That town is, if we mistake not, the old home of the Doctor, so that old-time residents of the place need no introduction to him; but those who settled there since he has been residing in California can accept our assurance that they will find in Doctor Bailey an accomplished physician and a gentleman. Mr. J. B. Pierce has been engaged by the owners of the Stearns Ranchos to assist Mr. R. J. Northam in the management of that large estate. Mr. Pierce's familiarity with and knowledge of the country make the appointment an eminently fit one. The Southern California Fruit Packing company of Los Angeles began the season’s canning on Wednesday, starting on peas, with fifteen hands. The company will be running to its full capacity in about two weeks, with 150 hands. S OF LONG AGO Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago.

Kerr presided and the discussion was opened by Clyde Bishop who explained the provisions of the law under which bonds are sought to be issued. Col. Finley said he had mapped out 86 miles of roadway which could be improved at a cost of $6,000 per mile. These 86 miles of roads would join all the principal cities and towns of the county. Finley said the assessed valuation of the county at present is $17,000,000 he believed it would advance in a few years to $50,000,000 if this bond issue is voted. C. C. Chapman spoke in favor of good roads as did E. K. Benchley and Dr. Freeman. Remarks were made by W. T. Brown, P. H. Krick, Henry Adams and others. The chairman appointed Messrs. Drake and Brown to circulate petitions for signatures calling for the appointment of the commission to lay out the roads. The members of the Retail Merchants association will soon appear before the city trustees and ask that body to take some action against outside business firms which are selling goods in this city without a license.
