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 Sept. 5, 1889 Quite a phenomenon occurred here on Saturday afternoon last (August 31st), when a heavy rainstorm sprang up, beginning about 3:30 o'clock and continuing until after 5, when .90 of an inch was recorded by Langenberger's gauge. Others estimate the fall at slightly over an inch. The shower was the first ever seen here during the month of August. The oldest inhabitant recalls a rain in September some twenty years ago, and about that time there was a heavy rain on the Fourth of July. But little damage was done. (A few of the real "Old Timers" very distinctly remember this August rain. Camper at the Landing all packed up and came home forthwith, the rain was so heavy that everything they had was soaked through. Most of them were living in tents that were very little protection against such weather—Ed.). At the meeting of Invincible Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West held at Odd Fellows hall on Monday evening of last week, the following officers were elected: H. C. Kellogg, president; Adolph Rimpau, first vice; C. E. Stone, second vice; T. J. Scully, third vice; Oscar Luedke, recording secretary; John Langenberger, treasurer; trustees Charles Kuchel, H. C. Kellogg, A. Rimpau. Installation next Monday evening. 25 Years Ago August 27, 1915 Monday morning fourteen complaints were prepared for Motorcycle Officer Ballard, who brought them to Anaheim to be sworn to before Justice of the Peace Howard. The motor cop was on the roads near Anaheim Sunday night and picked up fourteen bicyclists and drivers of buggies, none of whom had lights on his vehicle. As yet but few people are regarding the new county traffic ordinance that requires all vehicles, except baby buggies, to have a white light showing to the front and a red light showing to the rear. The motorcycle officers are stirring around all over the county and a batch of arrests are likely to be made in any community and night of the week. A party of hunters composed of Joe Hessel, Phil Germann, Ben Ter Best, H. C. Hartley, Clem Amberg, Romberg Jensen and Billy Herman, drove over to the canyon Saturday in search of rabbits. They brought back four and a half cotton-tails. The four were killed by Benny Ter Best, who learned to shoot in the German army and the half was all that could be found of one that broke cover in front of Clem Amberg. Col. Hartley, who was left in charge of the auto, declares he was assaulted by four vicious rabbits while the party was absent with the arms and ammunition, and narrowly escaped serious At the meeting of Invincible Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West held at Odd Fellows hall on Monday evening of last week, the following officers were elected: H. C. Kellogg, president; Adolph Rimpau, first vice; C. E. Stone, second vice; T. J. Scully, third vice; Oscar Luedke, recording secretary; John Langenberger, treasurer; trustees Charles Kuchel, H. C. Kellogg, A. Rimpau. Installation next Monday evening. A letter received from Ramon Aguilar, station agent for the Southern Pacific at Newhall, conveys the sad intelligence of the death on Monday last of Will Bailey Jr., formerly of Anaheim at his father's ranch near Elizabeth Lake. The body was interred in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Burdette Chandler will soon begin boring for oil on his claims north of town. He has great hopes of some day having a fine flow. He also has a flowing well at Whittier which is paying a handsome revenue. Dr. Gardiner, secretary of the A. U. W. Company is occupying the office lately vacated by H. D. Polhemus, the Miraflores capitalist. The latter has given up his office in town but will be in occasionally to see his friends. The dispatches state that Patti, at the Welsh National Eisteddford, a few days ago, moved many to tears when she sang "Home Sweet Home." The writer heard the lady sing the same song under somewhat different circumstances, through the marvelous effect of her matchless voice was the same. It was at a concert performance at the Grand opera house in San Francisco, one evening nearly three years ago. As the Diva was retreating to the wings from her fourth or fifth acknowledgment of the vociferous applause, a fellow in the gallery hurled a bomb upon the stage. The frightened woman saw the missile and stepped out of sight. There was a tremendous explosion, extinguishing the lights of the theatre and filling the house with dense smoke. The curtain took fire in an instant and the audience panic-stricken rose to its feet. The house was jammed, the occasion being the singer's "farewell" performance. Women fainted and men swore like mad, troopers. The stifling smoke was unbearable. As we were making for the door as fast canyon Saturday in search of rabbits. They brought back four and a half cotton-tails. The four were killed by Benny Ter Best, who learned to shoot in the German army and the half was all that could be found of one that broke cover in front of Clem Amberg. Col. Hartley, who was left in charge of the auto, declares he was assaulted by four vicious rabbits while the party was absent with the arms and ammunition, and narrowly escaped serious injury. Frank Montenyole, carrier No. 1, is taking a two weeks vacation. In company with his wife and little daughter he left Tuesday for the north and will spend the time in the big tree region. Arthur Staley, manager of the Fullerton-Placentia Walnut association, states that the first shipment of walnuts will be made from Fullerton about September 15, nearly a month earlier than the season usually opens here. The output will be about 70 to 75 per cent of a normal crop. Mrs. A. A. Mills entertained the junior class of the Presbyterian Sunday School at her home on Tuesday afternoon. The afternoon was spent with music and games after which an excellent luncheon was served. Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Troutman have returned from a three months visit to Iowa, North Dakota and other points east. In North Dakota his son had a 300 acre wheat field destroyed by a hail storm when about ready for harvest. Being a veteran of the civil war he deplores the great war in Europe.

PRETTY MAID TAKES THE CAKE AT COUNTY FAIR—EATS IT TOO By WARREN BAYLEY NAUVOO, ILLINOIS—Its hard to realize that this little town was, at one time, the largest and most influential city in the state of Illinois; that in the 1840's when Chicago was a village of less than 5000, and Springfield, the new state capitol, was a muddy little town recently planted on the prairie, that Nauvoo was a community of over 20,000 people. Harder still to realize is that the total elapse of time from its beginning until its downfall, was a little less than seven years. As the original stronghold of the Mormons in Illinois, it is not at all improbable that, had it not been for the murder of Joseph Smith which caused the separation of the saints into several different factions, Nauvoo today would be one of the major cities of the middle west and Salt Lake City would be a village. For the past two days I have been visiting some of the old buildings and checking into the history of the events that preceded the mass migration of the Mormons under Brigham Young, in 1847. They constitute such an important part of the history of the middle west, that Nauvoo has been included in the American Guide Series, compiled and written by the federal writers' project of Illinois, WPA. The lot of the Mormons, prior to their being harried out of Mis- membership. In the same year, 1831, a branch colony was established in Missouri. Here began long series of clashes which resulted in their being drawn from the state. Smith and the mainder of the Kirtland Morrison joined the Missouri group in Religious antagonism and of the political power of the Saints who usually voted as a blood gatherer with their anti-slavery attitude, were the causes of trouble. After many pitched tles, Governor Lilburn issued an order to the masters proclaiming that "the Morrison must be treated as enemies, must be exterminated or drowned from the state." In the winter 1838-39 they crossed the Mississippi into Illinois. (To be continued next week) Nature Study at Parks Has Applied Inaugurated this summer additional service for nature classes for children adults have proved so poignant that limits on class sizes have been placed in effect. Superintendent Guy Hopping reported today that regional office of the national park service, department of interior. Nature craft features the work including such activities... A honor of the dedication of the beautiful new domestic arts building in Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona Sept. 15 through Oct. 1, there be the largest collection of household arts exhibits yet shown. These range through the many classifications of culinary and needlework dinner tables and antiques. Above Merlyn Huber is "trying out" one of the delicious cakes such as will be seen in tempting array in the department. Finance Codifying May be Unfinished WPA lay-off order, effective September 1, will catch work on the project of codifying the county ordinances with jobs unfinished, it was re-late last week. S. Caldwell, attorney who been supervising the project for the past year, said that anency extension may be re-rid, or the supervisors asked continue the work to complete county expense. Exing of the ordinances has been completed, numerous ordinances must be form-pealed and new ordinances to amend or replace them, printing and binding of the remains to be done, he said. Case-leaf code is planned, to save costs. otor Returns toulpit Next Sunday R. Kells Swenerton, pastor at Temple Methodist church, died from his vacation this and will preach Sunday at 9:30 o'clock on "The Men Travel." Sing the past week Rev. and Swenerton accompanied their Henry Swenerton, to the University of California at Berkeley; he will take post-graduate in political science. They attended the San Francisco below with a word strikes than a blow with a sword. 4-H Leaders to Meet on Monday A meeting of all Orange county 4-H club leaders has been called for Monday evening, August 28, at the recreation room of Santiago Park, Santa Ana. A potluck supper in the park at 6 o'clock will precede the meeting. Ira Hartshorn, leader of the Costa Mesa Aggies 4-H club and president of the leaders council, will preside at the meeting. The main business of the group will be to discuss final details of the 24th annual state 4-H club convention and details of the junior fair held in con-tion with the Los Angeles county fair. Plans for the annual 4-H achievement program will also be discussed. According to reports from club leaders received by Ross E.

PHONE ACACIA DAIRY ANAHEIM 4-H Clubbers to Compete at Fair Orange county 4-H club members are busy getting their animals and other products of their work ready for the coming Los Angeles county fair, which opens September 15. Local members have established an enviable record for the number and quality of exhibits entered in the fair the past two years and present interest indicates a repetition this year. Agricultural club members are planning exhibits of honey, nursery stock, vegetables, poultry, sheep, beef or dairy calves, rabbits and pigs. Members of the clothing clubs, under the general supervision of Miss Frances Liles, home demonstration agent, are putting the finishing touches on clothing and other products of their work. E. C. Middleton, assistant secretary of the fair, has issued invitations to the Katella farmers of Anaheim, Cackle & Root club of La Habra and Tustin Livewires to enter feature booths. Leaders of these clubs are A. C. Sutliff, R. E. Launer, and Mrs. G. D. Griset, respectively. Defendant Demands Trial on Complaint Denying both charges of violating the state labor code, Jack Adams, 112 N. Harvard avenue, Fullerton, Saturday asked for a court trial which will be held September 14. The charges against Adams were brought by Lenore Swartzbaugh. The defendant was released on his own recognizance. The fair officials are offering cash premiums as well as ribbons to winners in the various classes. At the 1938 fair Orange county club members won 48 first ribbons. 31 second, 16 third, 8 fourth and $228 in cash. One of the main values of fairs to 4-H club members is the incentive it gives them to try to produce an animal or plant or other product of superior quality and the opportunity they have of comparing the quality or utility of their product with many others produced by other competing 4-H club members. The fair rules require that all entry blanks for exhibits be signed and approved by club leaders and brought to the farm advisor's office by Sept. 1.
