IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette October 17, 1882. The Immigration Association of California reports the number of immigrants arriving overland during the last week as 742 and for September 3156. Settlements are being made in various parts of the state both north and south of San Francisco. A colony consisting of from fifty to seventy persons will leave Chicago, Muscatine, Iowa and Kansas City, Mo., on Tuesday for California. A location has been selected for the greater part of them in Southern California, about forty miles east of Los Angeles where they will stop. This is the first organized work of the Association. The following is a statement of the business done at the Anaheim depot during the month of September. Imports 1,745,504 pounds; exports, 729,324 pounds. The imports were larger than for any month during the past five years. From a letter received from Dr. Geo. H. Bailey, who is now located in Bellville, Texas, we cull the following: "We are having fine weather in this section. Cotton is coming on rapidly and it is claimed that Texas will furnish 1,500,000 bales this year. We are starving for some grapes—such as are so abundant in Anaheim at the present time. Oct. 25, 1907. The library board have received plans for the Carnegie library building from Kelly & Mulberry of Los Angeles and Architect Bradshaw of Orange. Acceptance of plans for the structure is delayed pending receipt of others from local architects. Both plans received are understood to be particularly handsome specimens of architectural beauty. Architect Lagman will submit plans and others will also have drawings to offer. A selection will also be made at an early date. Ladies of the Catholic church entertained friends at cards at the Odd Fellows Hall last evening. A wrestling match is being arranged between Jim Ortega of Placentia and Tom Harlan of San Joaquin ranch. The match will be for $100 a side and $20 forfeit money is already up. Harlan is to make 165 pounds while Ortega goes at catch weights. The match will be pulled off on Monday night next. A Fullerton capitalist is said to be backing Ortega. The two-story frame building located upon the Kraemer lot east of the First National Bank was moved into the street on From a letter received from Dr. Geo. H. Bailey, who is now located in Bellville, Texas, we call the following: "We are having fine weather in this section. Cotton is coming on rapidly and it is claimed that Texas will furnish 1,500,000 bales this year. We are starving for some grapes—such as are so abundant in Anaheim at the present time. There are none here but a few Malagas and Muscats that have been packed and shipped through Galveston and then up here. By the time we receive them they are not fit to eat and cost forty cents a pound. Tell Mr. Dreyfus that the keg of his port came safely. I had it tested by several old wine growers from Europe and they pronounce it far better than any they have tasted here." (Dr. Bailey was a pioneer physician of Anaheim, coming here first in 1872. He returned later and died here at the home of his daughter Mrs. Henry Kuchel in 1909.—Ed.) On last Saturday night a traveler was stopped on the highway between Anaheim and Santa Ana by two men who robbed him of ten dollars. The officers have been unable to find a clue to the robbers. Patrons of the Washington Meat Market have been regaled with venison during the week. The deer were brought in by Mr. John Bush. Miss Minnie Hanna has resigned her position as telegraph operator in Anaheim and has been succeeded by Mr. Herman Meyerholz who will take charge of the office November 1st. There is not a superabundance of clean seed barley to be had in this county and Mr. Jas. W. Landell of Centralia will have no difficulty in disposing of the lot he advertises today. One of the great wants of this town is a good bakery. The field is ripe for a steady industrious man who understands the busi- will be for $100 a side and $20 forfeit money is already up. Harlan is to make 165 pounds while Ortega goes at catch weights. The match will be pulled off on Monday night next. A Fullerton capitalist is said to be backing Ortega. The two-story frame building located upon the Kraemer lot east of the First National Bank was moved into the street on Monday. Rain on Tuesday interfered with its progress to the new site at the gas works. Numerous are lights will have to be temporarily taken down on Center street. The vacated lot will soon be graced by a modern brick building. W. J. Montgomery has delivered 30 tons of walnuts from the Botsford orchard at Katella to the Association's packing house at West Anaheim. He will have from five to ten tons additional as the season's output of the orchard. Mr. Montgomery says he has less blight than last year by two-thirds, and he attributes this to the fact that he fertilized with burr clover earlier in the season. The nuts are superior in quality, being the equal of any ever raised on the ranch which has a reputation for growing first class nuts. The annual meeting of the German American bank was held on Thursday and the present board of directors was re-elected as follows: Joseph Helmsen, Erwin Barr, Wm. McLaughlin, A. Thomas, C. A. Boege, Dr. Beebe, Tim Carroll. Adolph Thomas was re-elected president, Joseph Helmsen vice-president, C. A. Boege secretary and cashier.

There is not a superabundance of clean seed barley to be had in this county and Mr. Jas. W. Landell of Centralia will have no difficulty in disposing of the lot he advertises today. One of the great wants of this town is a good bakery. The field is ripe for a steady industrious man who understands the business. Charles Hilmer had the misfortune to lose a valuable horse during the week. The animal's death was due to eating uncured alfalfa. Mr. Geo. Stadtegger, who has been stopping in Anaheim for some time past has purchased the Wick's tract of 35 acres in Yorba precinct. The price paid was $2500. A meeting of wine growers and dealers will be held in Los Angeles today for the purpose of organizing an association having for its object the protection of the wine trade and the fostering of the viticultural interests of the county. The project is being pushed by such men as Messrs. Dreyfus, Shorb, Rose and others, which is a guarantee that the organization will not be an ephemeral one.

NEW CHEVY STYLE FRESH, LIVELY The side and rear treatment of the Biscayne door sedan points up the complete job of styling on the 1956 Chevrolets. Note the broad, rear deck lid, the graceful gull-wing sweep of the rear fender line and the full-length molding that marks the latest development in Sculp-turamic styling. The Biscayne series is in the middle price range of the 1958 Chevrolet line. Church of Christ Here Starts New Building Project The Church of Christ on Centia Avenue in this city, broke ground Oct. 21 for the start of construction on a new church auditorium which will seat ten persons. Due to the growth of the church, it was found necessary to build additional facilities. The congregation was organized in January, 1955, and have been meeting at the church location at 311 North Placentia Avenue. When the new structure is completed, along with adequate parking facilities, it will represent an additional investment of $50,000. The new building will be equipped with the most modern installations and the paved parking lot will accommodate 200 cars. The church property consists of two and a quarter acres. The present church building will be converted to Bible teaching facilities and upon completion of the new structure, will become one of the most complete Bible schools in Orange County.
