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 Pioneers 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK OCTOBER 3, 1895 The use of oil as fuel is becoming quite general. The Oakland ferry boats and the big transport boat which conveys cars between Port Costa and Benicia now burn oil with much saving of labor and greatly decreased expense. Messrs. Saxten and Cox of Anaheim have used oil as fuel for some time and the expense of running their engines is but one-half of what it was when they used coal and wood. The experiment of using oil as fuel at the town water works was not satisfactory owing to a peculiarity in the setting of the boiler. It is possible that the defect may yet be remedied. An esteemed lady friend suggests to the editor that, in all future editions of pamphlets prepared for general distribution, the announcement should be conspicuously made that the town of Anaheim cannot be seen from the railroad depot, that, in fact, the railroad depot is not Anaheim. One instance she cited where two strangers passing through on the cars were misled into confounding the depot and the few adiacent will hasten his dreams of its future. The flouring mill of Dillin & Co. at Burruel Point has a capacity of a hundred barrels a day, and the probabilities are that it will soon be running at its full capacity. It's flour is in great demand throughout the southern counties. We learn from the San Francisco Call that Dr. Sketchley is to start for South Africa within a few days to purchase a number of ostriches for another farm to be located in this county. It is reserved for Anaheim to beat the record. From 336 Burger vines, John Neipp gathered four tons of grapes. A private letter from Tuscon by Fred Rimpau says that there are several cases of yellow fever at Nogales A. T., though the fact is not generally known. A strict quarantine seems to be called for. R. F. Chilton has been appointed postmaster at Santa Ana, vice C. E. French resigned. We congratulate Frank on getting in and French on getting out. Spirited voting marked the clash of the contest for selection of maid of honor to the Santa Ana carnival queen on Friday evening when Miss Agnes Rimpau would ever all contestants. The vote announced by the judges was Agnes Rimpau, 13,905; Miss El Meinecke, 8,119; Miss Hearne, on who withdraw from the contest early, 875. Scattering votes were cast for Miss Mary Wiss; Miss Jennie McAuley, and M Gladys Goble. The judges were J. F. Ahlborn, O. A. Mullinix and Joseph Backs. The amount realized from the contest was $217.19, which will used to purchase gowns for maid of honor and for preparing float and booth for the carnival, be held at Santa Ana next week. Alex Henry this week completed the sale of thirty acres this week of his West End orchard tract eastern parties for $35,000. Thousand dollars were paid Monday, and the remainder will be put up next week. Mr. Henry a year ago sold acres of the tract to John An esteemed lady friend suggests to the editor that in all future editions of pamphlets prepared for general distribution, the announcement should be conspicuously made that the town of Anaheim cannot be seen from the railroad depot, that, in fact, the railroad depot is not Anaheim. One instance she cited where two strangers passing through on the cars were misled into confounding the depot and the few adjacent houses with the town, which misapprehension, of course, did not tend to the credit of the town. On last Tuesday evening as Town Marshal Bohn was taking his pistol from his belt, having just arrived home from Los Angeles, the weapon was accidentally discharged and the ball struck the shin bone, glanced along the bone about four inches and then came out. Dr. Bullard informs us that the wound is but slight and will probably soon heal. If we may judge from the quantity of printed matter turned out from the Gazette job office for the Planters hotel that house is growing on favor with the traveling public. The proprietor and his assistant, Mr. Woods, spare no efforts to popularize the hotel and make it pleasant for guests and strangers. Hanging in the postoffice is a bunch of bananas of various degrees of ripeness, grown on Mr. Marshall Haight's place, which demonstrates the feasibility of the culture of this fruit in this locality. This delicious fruit brings a price which would make it an exceedingly profitable crop for the grower. The general merchandise Store of Carillo and Machado at Rincon was destroyed by fire on Monday evening. A lamp standing on a desk at which Machado was writing exploded and the burning oil set fire to his clothes. In his fright he ran out of doors, but was seized, rolled on the ground and the flames extinguished before being much burned. The store and contents were a total loss. There was an insurance of $1000 in the Home Mutual. When times are "hard" people do not generally buy pianos and drums to any great extent. Reations to a private letter from Tuscon by Fred Rimpau says that there are several cases of yellow f ever at Nogales A. T., though the fact is not generally known. A strict quarantine seems to be called for. R. F. Chilton has been appointed postmaster at Santa Ana, vice C. E. French resigned. We congratulate Frank on getting in and French on getting out. While up in a tree picking walnuts Maxino Romero fell to the ground breaking his left wrist. The election in Centralia on last Saturday to vote a tax of $300 was carried by a unanimous vote. On Saturday the Laguna farming Company of this county shipped 56,500 pounds of mustard seed to New York City. A 3½ pound bunch of Muscat grapes grown in Westminster has decorated this office for several days. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SEPTEMBER 29, 1910 The Pacific Vegetable company shipped out from this city on Tuesday the first carload of tomatoes to go east this year. The tomatoes go under the Anaheim brand. The company also shipped from Smeltzer this week the first car of celery to move out this year. The car goes to Butte, Montana. Afex Henry this week completed the sale of thirty acres this week of his West End orchard tract eastern parties for $35,000. Thousand dollars were paid Monday, and the remainder will be put up next week. Mr. Henry a year ago sold acres of the tract to John Cordes for $25,000. Included in this purchase was a new resident and other improvements. The entire tract of 40 acres bring $60,000. Democrats of the third supervisor district club met at C fellows hall on Monday even and formed a Theodore A. B club. ESighty members sign the roll. That dyed-in-the-wool democrat, J. J. Schneider, called meeting to order and was elected temporary chairman. Mr. Fuller Fullerton was temporary secretary. J. F. Ahlborn was elected president of the club, and W. J. Wilks of Fullerton secretary. The club was in evidence at Bell meeting on Tuesday afternoon, when the members gave a standard bearer a rousing reception. The travel section of the Eb society met in regular session at the library on Wednesday afternoon, September 21 at 3 o'clock It was decided to meet regularly on the first and third Wednesda- MEAT DEPT.

Reasoning thus, it is evident from the sales of these instruments by Pellegrin Bros. & Co. that these times are further from the point of regidity than croakers would have us imagine. On Thursday of last week Mr. H. A. Boege while working about the distillery, made a misstep and in endeavoring to keep from falling he attempted to catch hold of a tub, but his hand slipped and he plunged his arm into boiling water, sustaining as may be supposed, an intensely painful burn. Albrecht brothers have the contract for building a dwelling house for Mr. John Bockisch in Orange-thorpe. The plans for the house were drawn by Mr. Sorenson and the structure will be unusually neat and commodious. The cost will be about $4,000. Dan Lewis, the noted performer on the guitar and banjo, is now organizing classes in this county. Those wishing to take instructions should leave their names at Pellegrin Bros. & Co. The Pasadena Union says: "Mr. David Evey has bought of Mrs. Carr for $1500 one acre opposite the livery stable and has gone to Anaheim to make arrangements for brick for a two story building. Mr. Robert Strong of Wesminster has gone to San Francisco for a two weeks visit. Westminster has no abler champion than he and the prospective railroad through that productive section."

Henry a year ago sold ten the tract to John C. of the month at the library. The new officers elected were: Miss Raymond as leader and Miss Rehwoldt as secretary. One hundred walnut growers representing every walnut growing section in Southern California, met at the chamber of commerce in Los Angeles on Monday and recommended walnut prices for this season's crop as follows: First class softshells 15 cents per pound, first class hardshells 14½ seconds, both hard and soft 11 cents. The crop controlled by the associations is estimated at 6900 tons, which is 75 per cent of the total yield. This association output will bring $2,070,000. Of this yield 2800 tons will be harvested in Orange county and will bring $840,000. Anaheim growers in attendance were S. Hayden, Joseph Fiscus, Samuel Kraemer, and Secretary Phelps. Fullerton was representedy B. F. Porter, A. I. Stewart, William Crowther, E. K. Benchley, H. H. Hale and others. During the past two weeks several books have been donated to the Anaheim library.

Flower, is a donation by the Christian Science church of this city. The Mitchell barn on North Los Angeles street is being taken down and moved to make room for a new $6000 brick structure work upon which will shortly begin by Mrs. Mitchell. Sheriff Lacy Col Finley and SOIL EROSION PROJECT IN ORANGE COUNTY UNDER Orange County will benefit in many ways by the recent establishment of the Soil Erosion Control Demonstration project in the El Toro district, about nine miles east of Santa Ana, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. In the first place, the soil conservation and erosion control program which will be inaugurated in the area by the Federal Government will save and build up soils for permanent agriculture that are now being removed gradually by every storm that frequents the district. This will mean insurance for better crops and income to the 75 properties cooperating, and will in turn be felt by the whole county. The project also furnishes a practical work project which will provide labor for over 400 men, drawn largely from Orange County sources. $110,000 have been appropriated for this year's quota of labor and materials on the project. There are now forty such demonstration projects set up in a nation-wide plan of soil conservation under the supervision of the Soil Conservation Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These projects contain upwards of 25,000 acres each. The local project embraces 25,000 acres devoted largely to the growing of beans, grain and orchards.

This compared favorably with the attendance record of last year which was 424. There are now forty such monstruction projects set up in a nation-wide plan of soil conservation under the supervision of the Soil Conservation Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These projects contain upwards of 25,000 acres each. The local project embraces 25,000 acres devoted largely to the growing of beans, grain and orchards. A demonstration project usually consists of all the land within a watershed—all the land lying within the drainage basin of a given stream, in this case the Aliso Creek. Each of these areas is selected with the most careful consideration of its adaptability to an effective demonstration and its availability for inspection by a large number of farmers. In other words, the land comprising a project area must have erosion problems that are representative of the entire surrounding countryside. If sheet erosion is prevalent in a region, the project must be able to demonstrate how sheet erosion can be halted. If gullies are numerous, the project must be able to show how gullies can be controlled. The farmers of a project area enter into contracts with the Government, whereby they agree to operate their farms under guidance of the Soil Conservation Service, furnish as much labor an material as possible to put the program under way, and maintain a five-year period the cropping plans and erosion-control structures installed by the Service. In return, the Service agrees to lay out a complete erosion-control program for each farm, supervise LOS ANGELES AND San assured of the strongest tion from property own as county and farmer'tions.

Farmers and land owners in the neighboring countryside, outside the demonstration are invited to come and inspect the erosion-control work that is being done. They are shown by actual concrete example that it is both possible and practical to halt the inroads of erosion on the fertility, even the physical substance, of their fields. The factors besides the above that influenced the location of the demonstration project here were: (1) Orange County is the third county in total value of agricultural production in the United States, (2) the area is located in the geographical center of Southern California, (3) it is contiguous to an area of highest agricultural land values—citrus, walnuts, avocados, beans and grain, (4) Orange County has 6400 farms and a population of over 120,000 people, (5) the project is located on the main 101 State Highway between Los Angeles and San Diego, (6) assured of the strongest cooperation from property owners as well as county and farmer's organizations.
