IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 14, 1884 The rain prevalent in the northern portion of the state Saturday last is reported to have caused considerable damage to growing crops and more especially to hay. In this vicinity the storm of Thursday and Friday consisted of occasional heavy showers resulting in considerable damage to hay already cut, lodging of grain and probably more or less damaging effect on vines. Railroad communication in Arizona and New Mexico has been seriously interrupted—the Colorado river has been unusually high and has checked the passage of trains, necessitating a transfer of mails and passengers, both at the Needles and at Yuma. The forwarding of freight has been indefinitely protracted. For June the storm has been a surprise to the oldest inhabitant. The ladies connected with St. Michael's Episcopal church will give a social next Thursday evening at the residence of Mrs. Sheffield for the benefit of the Sunday school, Musical and literary exercises, with ice-cream, strawberries, cake, etc., will comprise the evening's entertainment. The ladies having the affair in charge promise an enjoyable time and extend a general invitation. The Fireman's ball to be given on the evening of July 4th promises to be an unusually brilliant affair. The committee in charge are sparing no labor, and as they are not only capable but zealous in their duties, the ball must prove a success. Wangeman's orchestra of Los Angeles, has been engaged, assuring the best music procurable in Southern California. Appearances are deceiving. One would suppose that the horses used by the Chinese vendors of vegetables were physically unfit to indulge in a first class runaway. On Monday last the debilitated plugs of one of the aforesaid celestials, started for pastures new.

One would suppose that the horses used by the Chinese vendors of vegetables were physically unfit to indulge in a first class runaway. On Monday last the debilitated plugs of one of the aforesaid celestials, started for pastures new, scattering wagon, vegetables and Chinamen promiscuously about the streets. Broken ribs, wagon and harness constituted the sum total of the damage. Sample stalks of full-headed bright wheat of the Defiance variety, grown in Centralia by W. G. Potter, are on exhibition at the post office. The stalks measure six feet in length and are said to be an average of seventy-five acres. Careful measurement of the growth of an ordinary squash vine in town revealed the fact that in three days it had extended in length twenty inches. Nearly seven inches per day is fast work in the vegetable kingdom. R. F. del Valle has been nominated by the democracy to represent this (the Sixth) district in congress. He was nominated by acclamation, but his election will not be so easily accomplished. The Los Angeles Board of Trade has sent a communication to the delegates from Los Angeles to the Democratic state convention at Stockton to the effect that the commercial element of that city and county have not and are not suffering any injustice at the hands of the Southern Pacific railroad company. Robert Eccles of Westminster has this season manufactured from two thousand hogs about one hundred and fifty tons of bacon, hams and lard, for which he has found a ready sale and demand much greater than he has been able to supply. He is now shipping about three tons per week from the Anaheim depot.

Parties desiring to purchase land are referred to the announcement of Hanna & Keith, who offer for sale the well-known Miles tract in twenty acre lots. This land is not excelled in Los Angeles county. Father Junipero Serra is said to have passed away on the twenty-ninth day of August, 1784. In deference to this fact, General George Stoneman, governor of the State of California has declared the 29th of August next a legal holiday. The Odd Fellows hall building on Los Angeles street has been leased by M. Dobner, who will next week begin the necessary alterations necessary to receive his stock of goods which has outgrown his present quarters. By a leakage from an irrigation ditch the cellar of Dr. Ellis in which was stored a rare selection of liquid commodities was flooded with water. The damage was confined to mental exasperation. The magnificent suite of pearls owned by the late Lady Otho Fitzgerald has been privately bought by Queen Victoria for 40,000 pounds. The pearls are intended as a present to Princess Beatrice. It is said that even the mission vines in some localities exhibit symtoms of mildew. The damp and murky season is especially favorable to the development of the blight. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 17, 1909 The Savings, Building and Loan Association at its annual meeting elected officers as follows for the ensuing term: N. F. Steadman, president; H. M. Adams, vice president; Fred Backs, secretary; H. A. Dickel, treasurer; Richard Melrose, attorney; H. A.

Ranchers in the foothills report that rattlesnakes are unusually numerous this year. Employes on County Treasurer Joplin's ranch in Bell canyon have six big ones in captivity to he sent to Los Angeles. Forest Ranger Stephenson while making his way through the cactus at San Juan Hot Springs was struck at by a snake. The reptiles fangs penetrated his trousers and barely touched the skin. By a vote of 37 for and 12 against the ranchers of Delhi and Old Newport on Tuesday voted to form a drainage district that will convert 7000 acres of damp and alkali lands into good agricultural property. The main canal will empty into Newport bay. The directors elected are Daniel Boyd, A. T. Armstrong and Jacob Manderscheidt. F. A.

The high school commencement affairs began with the senior play given at the opera house on Wednesday evening. Probably the most interesting event of commencement week was the reception given by the under classes to the departing seniors the night before graduation. On Friday evening the 11th came the commencement exercises proper. A class of sixteen was graduated: Lois Blake, Viola Susmil, Iva Cameron, Gertrude Asher, Grace Schindler, Marie Finney, Laura Newman, Lily Zeus, Joseph Burns, Raymond Nebelung, Elton Goble, Frederick Weisel, Henry Berg, Herman Wedel, Arnold Dickel, Rollo Davis. After the invocation by Rev. Mitchell, Mr. Dickel gave the salutatory. The address by Frank Tyrrell of Los Angeles on "Sleepy Heads" was interesting and fitting to the occasion. Miss Lily Zeus was the valedictorian. The city trustees held a lengthy session on Thursday evening, their deliberations lasting until midnight. There were present: Trustees Rust, Kroeger, Gates, Fiscus and Stock. Street paving was the object of greatest interest, and before adjournment a resolution was passed providing for paving by private contract of Center street from Lemon to Orange street. Previous to the meeting property owners had signed for paving by private contract on Center street from Lemon to Claudina, and on Los Angeles from Chartres to Chestnut. The contagion spread, a half dozen blocks were added on East Center street and one large property owner on North Los Angeles street announced himself as favoring paving. It is believed the entire original area will be paved from Palm to Orange on Center street, and from Santa Ana to Sycamore on Los Angeles street. This is the area embraced by the chamber of commerce in its recent efforts to bring about paving. A protest by owners of a majority frontage caused the matter to be temporarily dropped. Agents of a Los Angeles paving company have been successful in signing up property owners for doing the work by private contract. It is practically assured the entire original district will be paved. During the months of July and August the First National, German American and American Savings banks will close at noon on Saturdays. An agreement was reached on Monday by the bankers association of Orange county to close at noon on Saturday during the two months mentioned.
