IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a C Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 23, 1884 The Directors of the A. U. W. Co. at their meeting on Saturday, ordered that when water is sold to irrigate land not covered by stock, double rates be charged. J. C. Jaqua was employed as zanjero for the northern district. A weir gate, after a plan proposed by the superintendent was adopted as the regulation gate of the company, and the superintendent was instructed to make the gates as quickly as circumstances will permit. An assessment of $2 per share was levied, payable on or before September 16. This assessment is intended to pay for the work to be done on the ditches, the $6,000 borrowed from the bank, the $1500 borrowed from a stockholder and the $3250 due T. H. Smith for his legal services to the Anaheim Water company. Payment of the last named item is compulsory as suit has been threatened. Irrigators who get their water through the upper or Caion ditch are advised to buy immediately whatever water they may need as the water will be turned out of the ditch in less than two weeks to enable the workmen to put in a sand gate. The work will take ten or twelve days, during which time no water will run in the ditch. All the ditches belonging to the company including those recently acquired from the Farmers Ditch company of Orange-thorne have been cleaned and repaired. What is known as the North Branch ditch will be completed on Wednesday. For the safety of the ditch during the winter months a number of shutes have to be built, and the flumes strengthened. It is likely however, that this work will be postponed for a time. There is no sale for water in Anaheim and the stream is being utilized in sluicing out the ditches. No sale for water in August? Truly, this is an exceptional year. Two thousand in the National Flood operations will be rests.

Truly, this is an exceptional year. Governor Stoneman acted promptly on the petition forwarded to him from Anaheim last week by offering a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who murdered P. W. Bras. It is to be hoped that this incentive added to the natural desire of the county officers to perform their duty will lead to the detection and conviction of the assassins. The case is one that requires diligent looking after for the protection of the people living in the vicinity of the late murder. As it is well understood that a bad class of desperados infest the neighborhood. Mr. Northern has on view in the window of his office this week some fine bunches of zinfandel grapes, grown on vines planted some sixteen months ago on his vineyard in north Anaheim. The bunches are large, compact and perfect and were not culled from any particular vines, but are fair samples of the production of all the vines. No better illustration could be given of the wonderful fertility of the soil in the region named. Thriftier vineyards and orchards can nowhere be found. The postoffice was removed to the new building on Center street on Tuesday last and has been arranged with special regard for the convenience of the public. In the style and finish of the boxes, counters and woodwork generally, there is displayed a skill that reflects great credit upon the workmen who designed and executed the work. The boast that Anaheim has the finest and most attractive postoffice in Southern California is universally acknowledged by visitors to be but the simple truth. The large and showy storeroom in the new postoffice building has been leased by P. Pellegrin. Workmen are putting up shelv-counters and the necessary requirements of a first-class jewelry store. In finish it will be in keeping with the elegance of the bank adjoining on one side and the postoffice on the other. Mr. Pellegrin intends to display a large stock of his line of goods in a manner that will do honor to the town. Much of the immigration to California was ordered by the cyclones which made life a terror and burden to the unfortunate residents of the states visited by those gusty despensations. Now that earthquakes have begun to shake the sorely afflicted people of the same region we expect to see a revival of immigration to this state. California has been maligned as an earthquake state and, though it must plead guilty to a seismic disturbance once in a while, it has never been shaken as were many of the middle and eastern states on the 10th instant.

The resounding din which follows the wielding of half a dozen hammers in the hands of half a dozen muscular mechanics is not conducive to the calm and contemplative study so essential to the production of good editorial work. Hence, whatever deficiencies there are in the Gazette this week must be attributed to the cause indicated. L. W. Fish is now at work making the necessary alterations in the boiler at Dreyfus & Co's winery to allow crude oil to be used as fuel. Mr. Dreyfus estimates that he will effect a saving of fifty per cent by the use of oil instead of coal. The actual result of the experiment will be published as soon as ascertained. A lodge of I. O. O. F. will be organized at Westminster on next Saturday evening by D. D. G. M. Champlin of Anaheim. It will be named Oro lodge, meaning gold, and being indicative of the financial standing of the charter members. May the new lodge flourish. The Gazette presents its acknowledgements to Dr. E. L. Cowan for a basket of large and lucid peaches. It is an open question whether they were better flavored than they looked or handsomer than their flavor, for in either quality they excelled. The Evening Express and Republican of Los Angeles have consolidated, and Messrs Osborne and Cleveland are the proprietors of the Express. It is a newsy and substantial journal and in politics is Republican. The counter in the new postoffice, designed and made by F. and J. Backs and painted by S. A. Dennis, is pronounced by a well-known citizen of esthetic taste to be a beauty and a joy forever. Mr. Erc, late of Chicago, has bought the ten-acre vineyard formerly owned by Mr. Hammel. He will build a house shortly and establish himself permanently with us. We bid him welcome. S. G. McDowell is making a visit to his relatives in this county and is at present the guest of his broth-in-law, E. A. White. Mr. McDowell is proprietor of the Hannibal (Mo.) Courier. OF LONG AGO and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only ens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK AUGUST 26, 1909 Two thousand ton of tree seed will be gathered this year in the National Forests of California to be used later in sowing on tracts where tree growth is most needed. Extensive sowing operations will be conducted on selected California national forests. Progress reports have been called for, and on the forests in the state where there is a good seed crop, the supervisors have been asked to bend every flort to insure the collection of the required amount of seed. Ever since adjournment of the legislature there has been much speculation as to the attitude the Hon P. A. Stanton, speaker of the last house would take on the gubernational situation in the campaign of 1910. The splendid services of Mr. Stanton in the last legislature have made him a most conspicious character. As speaker of the house he made many friends for the fairness and impartiality of his rulings. His repeated election to the legislture from his district against strenuous opposition has made him a strong man before the people, and there is no man in the state more widely and favorably known. Mr. Stanton has been under the doctor's care since adjournment of the session and is now enjoying the healthful sea breezes at Bay City, with much improvement to his general health. It is hoped by his friends that his health will soon be entirely restored and that by January 1st he will be able to make a positive announcement of his willingness to be the candidate of his party for the gubernational contest. Capt. Jim Innerarity, Bobby Mills, Dick Nemetz and Frank Hgeley made a voyage from Bay City to Avalon in the Captain's full-rugged ship "Anaheim Landing" on Sunday of last week, returning on Thursday morning. The voyage was made in half a day and 410 pounds of albicou was caught.

The voyage was made in half a day and 410 pounds of albicou was caught. The seas were running high. The "Wasp" one of San Diego's crack boats, consumed 66 hours in making Catalina from San Diego in the same tempestuous seas. The Anaheim Landing is a full-rugged ship, 29 feet long and 9 feet in breadth of beam. When entering harbor at Bay City its masts have to be removed to permit it to pass under the electric railway tracks. A wit sail and a wind that follows fast to the Captain and his boat. Pavers on Monday completed the work of applying the cement foundation on Center street between Claudina and Los Angeles streets, and moved to the corner of Lemon and Center where the work of putting down cement for the new block was taken up. Los Angeles street between Chestnut and Chartres is being made ready for cement and asphaltim will be applied within a few days. Stephen Rimpau is home from Chihuahua, Mexico, for a month's visit with relatives. Stephen is a mining engineer and is prospering. Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth and Mother, Mrs. J. Strodthoff are enjoying a vacation at Bay City. Roger Williams, a leading Santa Ana attorney was in town on Saturday on professional business. High school trustees are preparing to install a $1200 steam heating apparatus in the building. Jakey Hartfield, the twenty-months-old son of Mr. and Mrs. B. Hartfield had a narrow escape from death last week as a result of swallowing a quantity of gasoline. Only the immediate presence of his parents who worked over him vigorously and the prompt arrival of Dr. Wickett with restoratives saved the little fellow's life. However, he was soon out of danger and later in the afternoon went visiting with his little sister Lillie. Justus Schneider was in from his Orangethorpe avenue ranch on Thursday. Mr. Schneider sold his dried apricot crop advantageously, netting 50 per cent more than last year, and is now plowing for cabbage. One continuous round of pleasure in the Schneider ranch. The Anaheim baseball club defeated Corona Sunday at the latter place by a score of 14 to 10. Huntington proved an enigma to the Corona boys, and Schneider caught superbly. The local boys made three home runs. Corona comes here a week from Sunday to play a return game. C. C.

Chapman of Fullerton was last week elected president of the state association of Christian churches at the annual meeting at Long Beach. This is the eighth consecutive year the honor has been bestowed upon our distinguished fellow citizen. The John Such ten acre place on East Center street has been sold to G. A. Mitchell of St. Paul, Minn., for $4000, and the ten-acre Sonnaman place north of town to Mr. Beckmeyer for $3000. Mrs. Fanny Rowe, a former well-known and popular young society lady of this city, was married recently to Mr. James Halpin, chef of the leading hotel of Ocean Park. Mr. and Mrs. Halpin reside at that popular seaside resort. Allan Knapp was in town yesterday from Garden Grove. Allan has fifty acres of farming land which is the pier of any in the county. He has twenty acres of chili peppers, besides corn, alfalfa and beans. He will begin this week harvesting beans and expects three tons of alfalfa to the acre. County Auditor Lester has issued a neatly printed volume of statistics of Orange county. The book is filled with valuable information regarding Orange county. Prof. Vinacke, teacher of history in the Anaheim high school last year, has accepted a position as principal of the Norwalk high school. Suit to foreclose a mortgage on real estate in the La Habra valley has been filed by N. H. Shanbers against W. H. Landreth and Abbie Landreth his wife. The mortgage was given to secure the payment of a note for $853. Henry Burdorf was a business visitor in town on Tuesday from Fullerton. He reports walnuts looking well and are an excellent crop. Mrs. Kellogg and Erwin Kellogg were in town from the West End on Saturday. Elect a Business Man SHERIFF! HARRY D.

Vote For a Responsible Proved and Tested Official Orange county is the wealthiest county per cultivated acre in the entire world. Its oil production and reserve stocks represent many additional millions of dollars real wealth. Agricultural and industrial interests of the county feel secure in the protection received at the hands of the present incumbent District Attorney, S. B. Kaufman. They do not feel inclined to speculate with untried candidates. They look askance at the defense of the American Civil Liberties Union's legalistic efforts to aid and encourage radical activities in our sister county of Imperial by a candidate for D. A. for Orange county. He and his newspaper sponsor have been terribly concerned lest these radical agitators be deprived of their constitutional rights of free speech and subversive efforts to overthrow the very constitutional rights, they now invoke.

No such concern manifested itself in regard to the threatened anarchy and civil war, fostered by communist interests in San Francisco, by either the candidate or his newspaper sponsor. S. B. Kaufman has made an enviable record for himself as District Attorney. His record is high in evidences of integrity, ability and noteworthy accomplishments. He stands for the unequivocable protection of property rights. VOTE AN AMERICA-FIRST TICKET—RETURN KAUFMAN AS DISTRICT ATTORNEY Tune in on KREG Aug. 20th, at 7 P. M. Col. M. B.
