IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK FEBRUARY 28, 1885 A dry winter in Southern California—in Anaheim if you please—brings with it its compensations. The term has not the dread significance it had when irrigating ditches were few, far between and generally dry. As a matter of fact the tiller of the soil who has a right to the use of irrigating water can afford to look upon a dry season, with an equanimity bordering upon satisfaction. Irrigation takes the place of rain and furnishes the moisture needed to insure an abundant crop, and the prices realized for products of the soil during a dry year are almost invariably higher than when the year has been a wet one, and any kind of soil in all localities has an equal chance to produce largely. These dry years are the dividends paid by nature to owners of irrigable lands. They are the balm applied to feelings lacerated by the memory of assessments on shares in irrigating corporations. The dry season of 1885 has brought greater pleasure and promises greater profit than the wet season of 1884. A New Orleans paper of Feb. 19th says: "A carload of oranges arrived this morning from Los Angeles, consigned to John Zucca, corner Canal and Front streets, in the short time of six and a half days. This is the quickest time so far made on freight between California and Louisiana, and considering it as being the first car of fruit consigned here, the same has been well handled by the Sunset Route, and is likely to open up a new field for California products in this market." The oranges sold for $2.25 per box. The Orangethorpe apricot orchard of Messrs. Browning and the Anaheim apricot orchard of Mr. Schorn are both beginning to bloom profusely. It is to be hoped that this item will not meet the eye of the linnet, which has as yet not found out that the buds are ready for picking. The apricot crop has been small for two The Orangethorpe apricot orchard of Messrs. Browning and the Anaheim apricot orchard of Mr. Schorn are both beginning to bloom profusely. It is to be hoped that this item will not meet the eye of the linnet, which has as yet not found out that the buds are ready for picking. The apricot crop has been small for two years past, and it is time that the growers were rewarded with an abundant crop. At the meeting of Directors of the Anaheim Union Water company held on Saturday, H. Clay Kellogg was elected Superintendent at a compensation of $5 per day when actually employed. For a monthly inspection of the ditches and a report as to their condition, he will receive $12 per month. H. Knapke and J. C. Jaqua were elected distributing zanjeros at a salary of $70 and $60 per month respectively. Mr. Deethman's horse was killed in a rather peculiar way the other day. It was tied to a post near the railroad track and becoming frightened at a passing train it ran with great speed to the end of the rope. It happened that the rope was between its legs and the rest of the body made a complete comersault. The horses's neck was broken. Mr. Harrison has rented an office in Santa Ana and will be found there on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of each week. He will be found in his Anaheim office on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Orders will be issued at Mare Island to take effect March 1st compelling the residents of the yard to pay for the gas consumed in lighting up their residences. Heretofore all the gas supplied to the different homes has been paid for by the government. Is this the beginning of Democratic economy?

A committee of Directors, Sherwood, Hale and Bradford gave a report of their visit to the Yorba reservoir with Engineer Mulholland. Mr. Mulholland reported favorably upon the condition of the reservoir. He thought that owing to the amount of seepage in the body of the reservoir that it was inadvisable to spend any money to prevent seepage through the dam. He expressed the opinion that conditions as to seepage would improve in time.

Exhibits of the work of pupils in various schools will be a feature of the week this year.
