50 Years Ago
MARCH 13, 1886
The wet weather has delayed somewhat the preparations for the great Chicago Fair, and the special train of twenty cars will leave Los Angeles on next Tuesday or Wednesday.
It is a gratifying fact that to Anaheim's prompt and enthusiastic response is attributed much of the interest which is manifested by the different localities. It happened that Anaheim was the first town to guarantee an exhibit, and its action aroused a spirit of emulation, which, if it were lacking, would make the fair at least a partial failure. And we know for a fact that Anaheim has received its due mead of praise for its action.
It is earnestly desired that every one who has any product that he desires to forward to the fair will take it to the depot not later than Monday for noon, plainly marked "Chicago Citrus Fair". All kinds of fruits (green and dried) nuts, raisins, grain, vegetables, wine, etc., are solicited. There is no cost attending the forwarding of exhibits, and such being the case our people ought to respond liberally with their produce.
Orange and Santa Ana each contribute a car load. Dr. J. A. Crane of Santa Ana will attend of the committee. It is proposed to hold a national exposition of wines, brandies, raisins and other fruits at the same time. If this idea is carried out it is probable that the wine exhibit that Anaheim makes at the Chicago fair will be forwarded to Washington at the close of the fair, thus doing double duty in advertising this Pioneer Colony.
The favorable reception of the entertainment given a few weeks ago by Anaheim Lodge A.O.U.W. has induced the members to repeat the affair with a more elaborate programme. The entertainment will be held at the lodge rooms, Odd Fellows building on next Friday evening with the following programme:
1- Orchestraal overture (Labitsky) violins, Bockish Bros.; flutes; T. S. Grimshaw, D. R. Leeper; cornet, H. S. Knapp; piano, Mrs. H. S. Knapp.
2- Song and chorus, "Twinkling Stars Are Laughing Love," Miss Bollinger, Mrs. Knapp, Messrs. Williams and Grimshaw.
3- Piano solo, Miss Nellie Baneroft.
4- Song, By the Animated Sunflowers.
5- Vocal duet, Miss Bollinger and T. S. Grimshaw.
6- Piano duet, Miss Sarah Crowther and Prof. Packard.
7- Song, "Adolphus Morning Glory" (in character), T. S. Grim-
Town Trustees. The argument used in favor of such an institution is that it will offer a place where young people can pass even among refining influence and in adding to their store knowledge. To make the place attractive there must be store there a wide range of literature and this can be accomplished in majority of the citizens of the town will donate few books apiece. Books may be delivered to Justice J. B. Pierce and the donations will be acknowledged in the columns of the Gazette from time to time. The first donation to the library was Hume's History of England six volumes by R. Melrose.
A petition sent from Anaheim to the Board of Supervisors, asks for an inspector for horses supposed to have the glanders was referred to the District Attorney.
H. R. Hanna offers eucalypt wood for sale cheap, cut in length to suit.
Fritz Ruhman is making stantial improvements on his cently purchased property on Los Angeles street.
Conrad's new brick winery at Adele street is about completed.

later than Monday forenoon,
plainly marked "Chicago Citrus Fair". All kinds of fruits (green and dried) nuts, raisins, grain, vegetables, wine, etc., are solicited. There is no cost attending the forwarding of exhibits, and such being the case our people ought to respond liberally with their produce.
Orange and Santa Ana each contribute a car load. Dr. J. A. Crane of Santa Ana will attend the fair as a representative of that section.
The fair is being thoroughly advertised. Next week notices of the fair will be published simultaneously in over a hundred of the most prominent newspapers in all the large cities in the Mississippi valley. In fact it is proposed to inroad Chicago somewhat after the manner of the California delegation to the Republican National Convention. They went into Chicago with a whoop that was heard around the Union, and they carried their point, too. History will repeat itself.
For the past few days Mr. Marshall Haight has been canvassing Anaheim for exhibits to the fair, and has met with the utmost liberality. It is an assured fact that the Anaheim exhibit will be something to be proud of. A full list of the articles forward, with the names of the donors, will be published later.
At a meeting of the grape and wine growers recently held in New York, it was resolved to call a national convention to be held in Washington in May next to complete such an association.
A committee of one hundred was appointed to carry out the plan proposed. J. de Barth Shorb, Esq. of San Gabriel, is one

"For more than fifty years my mother patronized the laundry I am now using, so naturally I am 'laundry conscious.' There are just my husband and I, and we send everything. In actual pennies and dimes it is cheaper than washing at home, if I count only the soap, starch, water, gas and electricity, to say nothing of what it would cost me for cosmetics to keep my hands looking as they do. You can't beat 'Rough Dry'. Our bundle never runs as much as a dollar."

Rains Postpone El Toro Tour
Rains over the weekend make the dirt roads over the soil conservation demonstration area at El Toro slippery and inconvenient for handling a caravan of automobiles, according to work just received from the El Toro camp by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg.
The new date set for the educational trip is Friday, March 6, 1:00 p.m. at the camp. The first half hour will be devoted to inspecting the camp facilities for the 200 men engaged on the project. At 1:30 p.m. the tour will start from the camp and proceed to inspect the various types of erosion control works on the project, which have successfully retained the rain waters during the recent storm. The tour will cover nine miles through the area under the direction of the project engineers.
Among the officials participating in the tour will be R. D. Perry, engineer; C. P. Tedford, project manager; Capt. W. M. Thomas, camp commander; W. W. Beuar, superintendent; and Harold E. Wahlberg, Farm Advisor.
An invitation is extended to property owners interested in soil conservation.
