IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 50 Years Ago... February 1905 Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the poet, accompanied by her husband, has been spending the week at the ranch of her nephew, Harry W. Wilcox in the Katella district. Mrs. Wilcox is one of the most noted women of America. A genius of rare versatility, she is moreover a writer keeping constantly in the harness, with such prodigious output that even her greatest admirers find it difficult to keep up with her. She has already achieved renown as a poet and contributor to the daily press, and now it seems she has sprung into sudden fame as a playwright. Her trip to California was made primarily to superintend the production of her play "Mizpah" in a San Francisco theater. After an enjoyable visit with relatives here, Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox take their departure to day for their home in the East. Ervin Kellogg received a box of pineapples grown on the plantation of his brother, Leonard, in the Hawaiian Islands. John Selinger has been presented with a gold medal by Capt. Stern for the highest score made time at the consignee's home. The key marked Angelica was tapped without delay and gave forth sparkling-water. It had been despoiled of its vinous contents while enroute and filled up with the particular variety of the Good Templars. The Port wine had also been tampered with, but the vinegar was intact. This is not the first time that Mr. Werder has been occasioned annoyance in the same way, and there does not appear to be any mode of obtaining redress. There is complaint among the vineyardists in regard to the rates which the railroads exact on empty barrels. The rate on old barrels from San Francisco is $1.10 per 100 lbs.; on new barrels $2.60 per 100 lbs., and on kegs $1.85 per 100 lbs. People who are not up in the mysteries of railroad tariffs will have some difficulty in determining why it is worth twice as much to transport a new barrel as an old one (both weighing the same and occupying the same space) and why one rate would not suffice for old and new barrels and kegs. Henry Comstock borrowed a horse from Marshall Horton (who lives near Orange) one day last San Francisco theater. After an enjoyable visit with relatives here, Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox take their departure to day for their home in the East. Ervin Kellogg received a box of pineapples grown on the plantation of his brother, Leonard, in the Hawaiian Islands. John Selinger has been presented with a gold medal by Capt. Stern for the highest score made in the company target practice. He made 165 points out of a possible 225. Good for John! Wm. Hill, well-known threshing machine operator, was in town the other day on business and informed us he expects to have big crops this year. He looks for a long run for his threshing outfit. Odd Fellows have organized the Anaheim Odd Fellows Hall association and elected the following officers and directors: F. C. Spencer, president; F. S. Gates, vice-president; A. M. Schumacher, secretary; F. A. Yungbluth, treasurer. The association will erect the new Odd Fellows Hall on Center street. Occupants have been given forty days notice so building operators can begin construction of the block soon to get underway. A meat market adjoining the new building will be fitted up with a new plate glass front. Charley Stone has arranged for a big dance to be given in Stern & Goodman's new warehouse at Borromes next Saturday night. Whenever Charley gives a dance you may rest assured of having a good time, and the young folks for miles around are anxiously waiting to hear Charley's musical voice calling, "swing your partner!" Bird Beebe was tendered a surprise party some evenings ago in honor of his birthday. A party of friends came down from Los Angeles, joined a large party of local friends and descended on Mr. Beebe, taking him completely by surprise. The evening was spent playing hearts after which dainty refreshments were served. The visitors from Los Angeles were Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Smith, Miss Gertrude Smith, Miss Dolly Reynolds and Miss Stella Gilcher. Mr. and Mrs. John Hart of Los Angeles were in town visiting friends, yesterday. Henry Comstock borrowed a horse from Marshall Horton (who lives near Orange) one day last week saying he wanted to visit Santa Ana. He went to Riverside, San Bernardino county, instead, and on Monday he was arrested there with the horse in his possession. He was brought to Anaheim on Tuesday and turned over to Deputy-Sheriff Barham. His examination was set for Wednesday morning but during Tuesday night he broke the lock from the door of the room in the hotel where he was confined and made his escape. Mr. Barham offers a reward of $20 for the re-capture of the fugitive. (Since the above was put into type we learn that Comstock was recaptured at Riverside by J. D. Hughes, who will bring the prisoner to Anaheim today). The marriage of S. B. Smith and Miss Kate Schwamburger was solemnized last Saturday, at the residence of E. S. Saxton, Rev. P. D. Young officiating. We join with friends of the bride and groom in sending congratulations and good wishes. Louis Mendelsohn of San Rafael is visiting in town. Mr. Mendelsohn visits here three or four times a year, in fact, whenever a revolution is in progress in Lower California. The Board of Supervisors has granted the petition of James McFadden for a franchise to build a chute at Newport Landing. Mr. Byron O. Clark and Miss Mary E. Kellogg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. E. E. Kellogg, were married on the 12th at the home of the bride's parents west of Anaheim by the Rev. A. J. Compton. The Gazette corps was kindly remembered by the young couple. We join in wishing them a long and happy life. Messrs., J. B. Travis and H. F. Gardner of Orange visited this office the past week. These gentlemen believe that water in the hills will be scarce during the spring.

Odd Fellows of this city will drive over to Fullerton on Monday evening to partake of an oyster supper at the expense of the latter. Six months ago a wager was entered into between the brethren as to which lodge would secure the most members during the ensuing half yearly term. Anaheim won getting twelve new members to Fullerton's nine, thus getting treated to the oyster supper. 75 Years Ago...

All hunters are hereby given a cordial invitation to be present and much sport is confidently expected. As there is some misapprehension about the matter, it is just as well to state that the Pacific Coast Steamship Co., is building a wharf at Timm's Point near Wilmington. At this point the water is quite satisfactory in depth, and a vessel has ample room to swing. The steamship company will get a large accession to its business under the new schedule established by the railroad company to conform to the new constitution. A couple of weeks ago Mr. H. Werder sent to his son-in-law in San Francisco, one key of Angelica, one of port and one key of vinegar. The keys arrived in due EXPERIMENTAL 'DREAM CAR' IS NOW IN PRODUCTION Patterned after the "dream car" first displayed at the General Motors Motorama, Chevrolet's Nomad station wagon is now in production.

The fact that two famous presidents were born in February reminds us that lately some of our friends have been opening "birthday" saving accounts—either for themselves or a member of the family.
