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 DECEMBER 5, 1885 Figures cannot lie if they are facts. There is no surer indication of the prosperity of a country than its continually increasing assessment roll. County Auditor Montanyo furnishes the following figures of the corrected assessment roll of Los Angeles city and Los Angeles county for the year 1885: Real estate and personal property: Los Angeles Co. ... $22,329,122 Los Angeles City ... 16,519,044 Anaheim ... 553,879 Railroad (S. P. Co.) ... 2,530,940 Total ... $41,932,985 For 1884 the assessment roll of Los Angeles county footed up $34,051,026. In 1883 it was $25,-459,098. The County of Los Angeles casts as many votes as the State of Nevada or the Territory of Arizona. The present great register contains the names of about eight thousand voters in the city. At the estimate of five persons to each voter, the city has a population of not less than 40,000. The books of the three water com- The six hundred walnut trees on the orchard of the Southern California Semi-Tropical Fruit company of which R. H. Gilman is superintendent, have produced a crop which for the past three years has sold for $1500 per year. Some of the older trees have yielded $10 worth of nuts. Considering the labor required the walnut is one of the most profitable of crops. George Muller, who has charge of several orphan homes at Bristol England, and who has never asked for anything except by prayer, announces that he has received something over $200,000 this year. Rimpau Bros. have secured the services of a well known fashionable dressmaker, who will be found at their store during the present season. It is to the interest of the ladies to liberally patronize the new feature of Rimpau Bros. establishment. Jason Brown, a son of John Brown of "Ossawattomie" fame, is living at the foot of Sierra Madre in the northern boundary of Pasadena. He is sixty-two years old and was with his father during the Kansas border warfare. Mrs. Ruth Thompson, a daughter of old services in Kroeger's hall every Sunday at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. There are at present about twenty English speaking Methodists in town and Mr. Graham is firm in his determination to build a church here, believing that among the thousands of immigrants a vancing upon this part of the state many Methodists will be found who will be influenced to set here by the fact that there is church and pastor of these denominations in this city. May I efforts meet with encouragement and success. The store of Mr. Luedke is the center of attraction for the youth of the village. He has a wonderful collection of pretty things. The family of Mr. Krug triedgist arrived the other evening from Farrina, Illinois. M. Nebelung has a very superlite stock of stationery which he seems remarkably cheap.

Davis, both of Westminster Also at the same time and place Mr. Robert Lakeland of S Bernardino and Miss Lucinela E. Morris of Westminster. The evening train on Wednesday did not reach Anaheim until about 9 o'clock. Several of the street crossings in Anaheim are out of repair. 25 Years Ago The County of Los Angeles casts as many votes as the State of Nevada or the Territory of Arizona. The present great register contains the names of about eight thousand voters in the city. At the estimate of five persons to each voter, the city has a population of not less than 40,000. The books of the three water companies corroborate the foregoing estimation, which is an increase of four-fold in the past five years. At the above figures the county certainly has a population of not less than 80,000, for the county is growing faster than the city. The population of the county is more than one-fifth of that of San Francisco, and one-fifteenth of the entire population of California. Truly, Los Angeles is an imperial county. The following programme was rendered at the concert given at Kroger's hall on Tuesday evening for the benefit of the German M. E. Church: Quartet, "May Day," (Muller), Miss Flora Bollinger; Mrs. Knapp, Messrs. Packard and Grimshaw; piano solo, "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls," (Richards) Miss Clara Schulte; recitation, Mr. E. J.

A cloud burst at La Brea rancho, 12 miles from Los Angeles on the night of November 15th sent a huge wave of water which destroyed the house of D. Ellsworth, his outhouses and barns. His family waded through water waist high and were fortunate enough to escape with their lives. A most ingenious cupboard has been devised and built by E. G. Huntington the carpenter whose shop is on Los Angeles street. It contains ample storage room for meat and vegetables and has a receptacle into which a hundred pounds of flour can be poured and drawn as needed. Jason Brown, a son of John Brown of "Ossawattomie" fame, is living at the foot of Sierra Madre in the northern boundary of Pasadena. He is sixty-two years old and was with his father during the Kansas border warfare. Mrs. Ruth Thompson, a daughter of old John Brown is also a resident of Pasadena. Without insinuating that the streets in town need "fixing" we suggest that if they are to be improved at all the work should be done at the beginning and not at the end of the rainy season. Rain stops with unaccountable suddenness in Southern California, and the dusty results of procrastination in street repairs have been unpleasantly apparent all summer. Rev. J. W. Graham and family late of Kansas have settled in Anaheim. Mr. Graham who is a Methodist clergeman will hold GREATEST 225 EAST CENTER STREET MEAT DEPT. JAMES KILDUFF, Owner-Mgr.
