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 FEBRUARY 21, 1885 The latest quotations for oranges show a cheering advance in prices. California oranges are quoted in Chicago at $4 and $4.50 per box, and it is the experience of shippers that the cost of the picking, boxing and freight from here to the city mentioned is $1.50 per box, leaving a very nice margin of profit for the grower. The probabilities are that the better prices now paid are due to better quality of the fruit offered for sale. As a matter of fact the best varieties of oranges are only now just beginning to ripen, and the discouragingly low quotations heretofore given were for unripe, inferior fruit, very few first class oranges have yet been shipped from this section, the growers having learned by experience that it is the most profitable policy to ship only ripe fruit. And if there is anything that has been more unmistakenly demonstrated than that there is no danger of good fruit ever being unprofitable, it is that the growing of inferior fruit will prove disastrous to the producer. As an instance of this the shipment recently of an inferior lot of seedlings to San Francisco resulted in the shipper being called upon for a sum equal to ten cents per box representing the deficiency between the receipts and the expenditures. In the misfortunes of others we sometimes find good fortune for ourselves. Thus, the fact that the raisin crop of Spain has been destroyed by the destruction of the vines by Phylloxera, will doubtless result in the raisins of California bringing a better price than they would have done otherwise. A correspondent of the London Times, writing from Torre del Mar in Spain, tells of the destruction of the vines, and adds that the sugar cane crop, to the value of 300,000 pounds sterling, is also a loss. The raisin crop under average conditions, would have amounted to 2,000,000 boxes of the value of 400,000 pounds sterling. In the misfortunes of others we sometimes find good fortune for ourselves.

Scott died after a long illness. He was buried on Sunday by Magnolia Council, O. C. F., of which he was a member. On Monday Mrs. Louisa Keller died in her 84th year she had lived here almost since the founding of the colony and her death reduces the ranks of the Pioneers. On Tuesday Mrs. Dr. Heyermann died at her residence in San Francisco, the result of a cold contracted many months ago and which she never could throw off. Mrs. Heyermann was an old-time resident of Anaheim, and the mother of Mrs. Jos. Backs, who was with her when she died. A license bill has been introduced into the Minnesota legislature providing for the issue of $5 permits to all such male adult residents of the state as can prove to village trustees, town superintendents, or city alderman that they are only moderate drinkers and that their families will not suffer by their indulgence. Every resident who drinks in a saloon or public place must have such a permit, and infraction of the law will be punished by fine. The Anaheim Indian Boarding School for girls is now inaugurated. Rev. J. M. Roberts, Mrs. M. E. Roberts and Miss Floy K. Roberts having charge. The girls are from the tribe which has its habitat near Banning. Their average age is fifteen, and they are all bright, willing and obedient. Aside from the lessons of the school room the girls are taught housekeeping, sewing, washing, ironing, etc. The success of the school means the solution to a small extent of one great social problem, servant-galism. It was reported here yesterday that Mr. Hinton, county super-intendent of schools, had died in Los Angeles on Thursday of small-pox. We are unable to verify the rumor. It is known that he has been suffering from the disease for some time. It is said that there are a number of cases of varioloid in Los Angeles, but of a very mild type. The social at the residence of D. W. C. Cowan on Friday of last week was largely attended and was voted by the participants as exceptionally enjoyable. The amount realized by the Ladies Aid society of St. Michael's church under whose auspices the entertainment was given, exceeded their most sanguine hopes. It may be said without exaggeration that Rimpau Bros. have the neatest and finest dry goods house in the county, and what is more to the point they have gradually reduced prices until they (the primes) have reached bedrock. They also are sole agents The social at the residence of D. W. C. Cowan on Friday of last week was largely attended and was voted by the participants as exceptionally enjoyable.

It may be said without exaggeration that Rimpau Bros. have the neatest and finest dry goods house in the county, and what is more to the point they have gradually reduced prices until they (the prices) have reached bedrock. They also are sole agents for Browning, King & Co., Merchant Tailors, New York. To insure a speedy sale of all Dress Goods on hand, M. Dobner has cut down the prices considerably as room for New Spring Goods is his foremost point of view. Ladies in this vicinity should examine stock and prices as unusual bargains will be offered for 30 days. A. K. Clark, a member of the music firm of Pellegrin Brs. & Co. is in town. The firm has a large stock of pianos and organs on hand, several of which will probably find a permanent lodgement in private parlors in a few days. Mr. Vale of San Bernardino has been in town during the week. A new generation has sprung up since he opened the first photograph gallery in Anaheim.

Business at the postoffice has increased with such bounds that the $10,000 mark promises to be exceeded for the year ending March 31. There yet remains considerable to do and business men and citizens generally are urged to get busy. The help of all is needed. It would be a pity if Anaheim should come in sight of this betterment and fail. But there is no such word as fail. Now, then, all together for free city delivery of mail. We have it. The county board of education is engaged in preparing examination questions for the second period examination of the sixth, seventh and eighth grades of the county schools. The exact date of the examination is March 2 and 3. Heretofore there have been four quarterly examinations, but this year they have been changed to three periods to save the teachers and the scholars work. The store of Whitaker and Perry at West Anaheim was entered by a burglar Thursday night, who secured $46 in cash, $6 or $7 of which was in pennies tied up in 50 cent and 25 cent packages. The money was secured from a safe in the store. Evidently money was all the burglar was after goods in stock were not disturbed. Harry Dyer ran into a man named Anthony one afternoon last week at the corner of Sycamore and Fourth streets, Santa Ana. Anthony was trying to dodge a team, when he saw he would be struck by the machine, and he pluckily grasped the radiator and hung on until Mr. Dyer could stop. He was not hurt and no arrests were made.

A concert by the Orange County SERA band also was enjoyed. Local representatives, in addition to members of the drum and bugle corps, included Capt. Ray E. Smith, J. Fred Sidebottom, Earl Fulfer, Ralph Cox, Jimmie Heffron, R. E. Campbell and Ed Hund. Sidebottom was named on a committee, of which Santa Ana's Charles D.

He was not hurt and no arrests were made. Charles Bauer was in town a day or two ago, having driven over from his orange grove at Cucamonga. He has fifteen acres of navels which compare with the best in the valley. Mr. Bauer makes the proud boast that his orchard is absolutely free of scale and never was infested with scale in any form. His section is also in the frostless belt. He has a good proposition. Mrs. Bennerscheidt entertained the ladies euchre club very pleasantly at her home on South Lemon street Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Jerry Cole won first prize, a china plate, Mrs. Zeus, the second, also a china plate and Mrs. Snow the consolation, a key rack. Refreshments of coffee, sandwiches and cake were served. Miss Irene Holbrook, the eleven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Hollbrook was slightly injured while alighting from a carriage at the family home in the Royer tract on Sunday afternoon.

Yungbluth has sold his residence property on North Lemon street to J. S. Sheridan, recently arrived from North Dakota for $3,500.

A frame office building 16 x24 is being erected at the corner of Olive and Center street. It will be in the Mission style of architecture, will cost $450 and will be occupied as a real estate office by Fletcher and Danbury.

Dr. Johnston attended to the injury and though painful the accident did not deter Mr. Dickel from attending to his business duties. L.

Orange county is lagging in the "register your baby" drive launched by the U. S. bureau of census in cooperation with the California emergency relief administration and the California department of health. Till Monday of this week only 604 replies have been received from parents of children born in the calendar year 1934, although 1734 births are on file at Sacramento. Replies constitute 34.8 per cent of births on file. Purpose of the survey is to make sure that all births are recorded. Up in Calaveras county, however, they do things in a big way. There the bullfrogs leap for fame and fortune, and proud parents leap in response to queries, as shown by reports. Only 39 births had been recorded, but there were 49 registration cards received. Total number of births on file in the state for the year 1934 are 75,229, and the number of cards received to date are 22,011, making a 29.2 per cent response.
