IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange county in the Days of the Ploneers. 50 Years Ago July 12, 1888 Anaheim Lodge, No. 85, A. O. U. W., has a membership of over seventy. The fraternal spirit is strong in this particular lodge and to this fact is doubtless due its prosperity and popularity. The meeting of last Friday night was in the nature of a social reunion. After the ceremonies attending the reception of two new members the lodge a journeyed to the anti-room, where a delightful cold collation was served. Toastmaster Knapp was in the chair and in his element, and Messrs. Bullard, Grimshaw, Dickel, Avery, Henry, Perry, Landell and Melrose contributed song, story and speech. The next meeting of the lodge will be on Monday evening, the 16th inst. Shipments from abroad for Los Angeles, by way of San Diego, are becoming quite common. When the short railway line begins to run trains, it is said, Los Angeles freight may be handled cheaper by the San Diego route than by any other. Br. Baker of the Santa Ana Standard has gone to San Juan Hot Springs to stay three weeks. Br. Baker says: "Meanwhile the Standard will appear we(a)kly as usual with an occasional stimulation from a gifted pen while absent. The paper will be strictly Episcopal in opinion during our stay therein we will have neither 25 Years Ago Ten thousand visitors entered the gates of Anaheim Friday to assist in celebrating the one hundred and thirty-eighth anniversary of the birthday of Independence. The celebration was given by the Fraternal-order of Eagles and was a success in every particular. The celebration was in charge of a committee of Eagles composed of Harry Harris, chairman; Fred Dyckman, Vic Lamont, Billy Lake and Frank Fox, secretary of the order. The street parade of floats, decorated autos, buggies, etc., started at 10 o'clock on Center street in front of the high school and disbanded at the Central school grounds which was in pivotal point of the celebration. Between 40 and 50 artistically decorated floats and vehicles were in line. The parade was headed by Crowthers cadet band, Grand Marshal Harris and officers of the day following. Awards for best decoration were as follows: First prize, Miss Ella Heitschusen, her car was a gray Stoddard-Dayton and was completely covered with Shasta daisies. Second prize went to Miss Lucy Zeigler whose car, a Studebaker, was trimmed with sun flowers, shasta daisies and greenery also with the national colors. Comedy prize, wagon load of colored men. The six colored men in the wagon were Billy Blackmore, Art Bowen, Johnny Martin, Henry Chinnitzer, George Chick Practically everyone who moves from the Plains to the city as soon as it begins to get hot low. There is a great rivalry tween the various Hill stations to which has the most to offer.

It will much too cool for comfort mingles and evenings and too warm for comfort during the day. They will have many cloudy foggy days that we do not here at the 5000 foot level. It get a bit warmer here during days, but the nights are milder. Temperatures of 110 to 120 are not at all uncommon in the Plains and then much use for Punkas, and elec- rubber boots and heavier clothes to keep from freezing. Fred Kelly, the famous Orlando county athlete, won first place the high hurdle race at the Olympic games at Chicago Saturday, and also captured second in the low hurdles.

Mika were on Monday granted second papers in their natural state. Angeles freight may be handled cheaper by the San Diego route than by any other. Br. Baker of the Santa Ana Standard has gone to San Juan Hot Springs to stay three weeks. Br. Baker says: "Meanwhile the Standard will appear we(a)kly as usual with an occasional stimulation from a gifted pen while absent. The paper will be strictly Episcopal in opinion during our stay, therefore it will have neither politics nor religion, but will be blessed with local news, as our assistants know everything going on in the valley, and a great deal more, all of which will be faithfully chronicled in good style and taste. An enjoyable surprise party was given Miss Birdie Hartman at her home on Tuesday evening by the Cheerful Workers. Miss Hartman will shortly leave for San Francisco. Yesterday being the young lady's eighteenth birthday there was a family reunion at the residence which numerous friends attended. Pile drivers are still engaged on the bridge across the Santa Ana on the new route between Anaheim and Tustin. It is said that the county assessment roll will foot up to $100,000-000 and that of the City of Los Angeles $36,000,000. An unaccountable delay in the arrival of bridge timber has deferred the completion of the California Central bridge over the Las Flores river. The bridge is 400 feet long and 100 feet high, and considerable work remains to be done. J. B. Zeyn left yesterday for San Francisco to be gone about two weeks. The petition of residents of Fairview school district, to be annexed to Anaheim, was presented to the Board of Supervisors on Monday. Action deferred until Saturday. In California the state game and fish commission officials pour milk into troughs in which young fish are kept.

In California the state game and fish commission officials pour milk into troughs in which young fish are kept. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH Communion services will be conducted on Sunday in all Churches of Chirst, Scientist. The subject of the Lesson-Sermon is "Sacrament," and the Golden Text is from Paul's first epistle to the Corinthians: "Let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth." Among the Scriptural selections in the Lesson-Sermon are the passages from John: "But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread. Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine." The Lesson-Sermon includes also this passage from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "This spiritual meeting with our Lord in the dawn of a new light is the morning meal which Christian Scientists commemorate." After From Charles Knowlton Discloses Experiences in India (Continued from last Issue) actically everyone who can falls from the Plains to the Hills soon as it begins to get hot below. There is a great rivalry between the various Hill stations as which has the most to offer. As we are not had the chance to be any of them during the summer I am not in position to judge relative merits. But I have to Simla, the summer Cap of India, numerous times. As elevation begins at 7500 feet it rises rapidly they can, and do, a great range of temperature given a day. It will be too cool for comfort mornings and evenings and too warm comfort during the day. Then will have many cloudy and days that we do not have at the 5000 foot level. It may bit warmer here during the day but the nights are much cooler. Temperatures of from 120 are not at all uncommon in the Plains and there is no use for Punkas, and electric boots and heavier clothing keep from freezing. And Kelly, the famous Orange boy athlete, won first place in high hurdle race at the great epic games at Chicago Saturday and also captured second in new hurdles. La Habra Valley Progress its existence on June 20th. Printed at Brea. May succeed its footsteps. Godore Roberts and A. Manvere on Monday granted the papers in their naturalization. fans. They tell me that the old fashioned punkah is much more satisfactory to sleep under if the operator does not run down. They try to arrange the ropes or strings so that one person can operate all the fans in a house. But one of the features that makes it a little worse is that as the mosquitoes are so numerous that they have nets over the beds and those nets prevent much circulation. No one who has never slept under a mosquito net can realize how much fresh air a net can shut out. The natives have very many Sure Fire remedies and preventatives for mosquito nuisances, but when they do use them they always insure themselves by using nets. But many of the Natives will sleep out and let the mosquitoes feed unmolested. I have seen thousands of mosquitoes on a man who was peacefully sleeping, and not drunk, either. They have many varieties of personal crawling pets here. As elsewhere, it is no crime to find them, but just to keep them. Some of you will wonder how we live here. I am furnished a quite good house in Solan. They give me a food and maintenance allowance that is sufficient. I employ my own cook and bearer, Khansammah, who does the cooking and looks after my things. He also does my laundry and mending. He is a Mohamedan, born in Afghanistan, is a Pathan, called Putan. He reads and speaks English quite well. He is a very good cook, and quite different in some ways than most servants here. He is not only willing, but anxious to help them. HOT CAKES. What the English call pancakes are about one and a half inches thick, without salt or much baking powder. They are neither palatable, nor digestible. But perhaps they may be more wholesome than our hot cakes and syrup. I can get a very good tinned syrup here. We can get almost all of the European foods here and most of the American tinned fruits. They do not have sale for tinned vegetables. When I was in Shanghai I began to notice a certain brand of canned fruit that is put up in California. I also have seen it wherever I have been where they carry any American stuff at all. In no single shop in India where they have any American canned foods have I failed to see S & W with the exception of one shop in Patiala where they did not have a single can, although the greatest variety of other brands that I have seen anywhere on this trip. But upon inquiry I found that this shop was owned by the same man who DID carry a very complete stock of S & W goods as he was the contractor for the Royal Kitchens who never use any other brands, excepting some Heinz stuff. That brand is the ACME of standardization and should be an example to follow. That degree of standardization can NEVER be attained here in India because it would not give any outlet for their cull fruits and vegetables. Here they never think of tinning anything except that which cannot be sold as fresh produce. I do not think that they believe me when I tell them that in California they plant orchards and fields for the express purpose of supplying canneries with nothing but strictly high grade fruits and vegetables. It is beyond them. In the markets they have all of our common vegetables, but all of a much lower quality than you found that they had just taste and flavor here or decided it was just thieves. They had in the main Thompson seedless grapes some Cornichons that as good as I have ever found where. So I feel quite if some of our trees ever douse any marketable will create a sensation, ably bring good return to the universal custom to go where while much too tough have two reasons for so the fruits will be so full of water they will not be invited as they always pick their clubs they would squirt they hit the ground if too soft. As a result they know what good fruit I am afraid that GO would be too sweet They might think that it treated with some dopes. A very high per cent people here are vegetarian one might think that they have better grades of vegetables. But it seems was good for our grandmother good enough for us, and for many things. Neath thing here is "done by reason instead of by reason. The staple articles of chappati, very similar tilla, made and baked away. But they have many small pieces and use it to get food from a cone to their mouths. As many gather round will be out of the same dish, time they will have a new chappati, so it is not as might sound. They were numerous kinds of food usually much too high for our tastes. I CAN eat food but I do not eat it... La Habra Valley Progress its existence on June 20th. Printed at Brea.

Altenow and family left South Dakota Thursday for use of closing out business preparatory to making permanent home in AnaThey will be absent several uss. County Assessor Sleeper on day turned over to the Board equalization the assessment for 1913, showing an increase the assessment this year over year. Orange county's total need valuation is now $44,456,- instead of $41,343,025 which last year's total. The county assessor's raise actually assures a lower tax than last year. A large share the increase was made in the walls section and in equalizing holdings with smaller holdings. The natural growth of the city was responsible for a large portion of the $3,113,370 raise by Sleeper and his com-mit corps of field deputies. Study of the assessment disthat Orange county has the valuable oil well in the. This is the great Birch'oil and it is assessed at exactly 1,000. Another fact shown at the Irvine company is the first taxpayer in Orange county Assessment upon this big is now.$3,036,020.

AT ALL DEALERS or your EDISON OFFICE NO. 5-A found that they had just the same taste and flavor here as there I decided it was just the variety. They had in the markets some Thompson seedless grapes and some Cornichons that were just as good as I have ever tasted anywhere. So I feel quite sure that if some of our trees ever do produce any marketable fruits they will create a sensation, and probably bring good returns. It is the universal custom to pick fruits here while much too green. They have two reasons for so doing. If the fruits be allowed to get ripe they will be so full of worms that they will not be inviting. Then as they always pick the fruit with clubs they would squash when they hit the ground if they were too soft. As a result they do not know what good fruit tastes like. I am afraid that GOOD fruit would be too sweet for them. They might think that it had been treated with some dope. A very high per cent of the people here are vegetarians, so one might think that they would have better grades of fruits and vegetables. But it seems that what was good for our grandfathers is good enough for us, and that goes for many things. Nearly everything here is "done by tradition" instead of by reason. The staple articles of diet here is chappati, very similar to tortilla, made and baked the same way. But they have many variations of them. They tear off a small piece and use it as a scoop to get food from a common dish to their mouths. As many as can gather round will be getting food out of the same dish, but each time they will have a new piece of chappati, so it is not as bad as it might sound. They will have numerous kinds of vegetables, usually much too highly seasoned for our tastes. I CAN eat the hot food, but I do not like it are made according to ability of the carrier, but in the case of the donkeys the load is made entirely according to the ingenuity of the driver, with no regard to the ability of the animal to carry the load. There are very many instances where officers of the S. P. C. A. would have good picking. I would guess that 10 to 20 percent of the bullock carts have the center pole so short that the wheels rub on the hind legs of the bullock, and most of them do when doing down hill as they have no brakes on the carts, or if they do they are not effective. In the Plains I have seen many thousands of camels, not of the smoking variety, however. They are still very much used, but nowhere near as many as formerly. They are used for many purposes, driving chain pumps in the wells, ploughing, carrying many kinds of loads and drawing very curious four-wheeled carts or wagons. I have seen perhaps a couple of dozen elephants, but there are none wild in North India now. I would like to be remembered to all of my Anaheim friends. There are many to whom I would like to write personal letters, but there is not time enough to make that possible. I have tried to answer every one who has written to me, perhaps not promptly. I am still way behind in the letters that should have been written. There is a probability that I may be able to call on you some time in the fall as I am supposed to have a six months leave then. Very truly yours, CHAS. S. KNOWLTON. It is estimated that the primitive herds of buffalo roaming the American plains numbered about 75,000,000 animals. Bids Submitted for Relocation Project Twenty-two bids were received by the county supervisors for relocation of the Santa Fe railroad and the Santa Ana canyon highway, part of the flood control program. All bids were turned over to Flood Control Engineer M. N. Thompson for tabulation. It was indicated that the relocation will cost approximately $250,000, although many of the bids did not carry a total figure: Fireworks Mishap Hurts Three Boys Three Fullerton youths were injured Monday afternoon in an explosion of firecracker bombs which rocked homes in Newport Beach and Corona Del Mar. Those injured are Elmer Taylor, 20, David Miller, 23, and Burton Sanders, 20. None was critically hurt. The accident happened when a lighted "cannon" bomb was dropped by one of the trio into a five-gallon oil can in which 200 other, similar bombs were located.

They tear off a small piece and use it as a scoop to get food from a common dish to their mouths. As many as can gather round will be getting food out of the same dish, but each time they will have a new piece of chappati, so it is not as bad as it might sound. They will have numerous kinds of vegetables, usually much too highly seasoned for our tastes. I CAN eat the hot food, but I do not like it. Then it is very apt to be much too greasy as they use much oil and Ghee, which is clarified butter. They use many herbs and spices, some of which I do not care for. As a large part of the people here have never had enough to eat they have neither much strength nor vitality. There is a great deal of respiratory trouble and catarrh. But there are tribes here who are astonishingly strong and who can carry very heavy loads with ease. Here in the Hills most everything is moved in one of three ways, bullock carts, donkeyback or coolie back. The latter loads been written. There is a probability that I may be able to call on you some time in the fall as I am supposed to have a six months leave then. Very truly yours, CHAS. S. KNOWLTON.
