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 19, 1885 The first carload of the new crop of oranges from this county was sent to San Francisco last week by McPherson Bros. of Orange, and sold for $3.75 to $4.25 for seedlings and $5.75 to $6.50 for navels. Another carload from Los Angeles followed on the next train and sold at the same rates. These shipments are about a week in advance of former years. The prices obtained were very high, and will decline as soon as larger shipments are made. The quality of the fruit is very fine this year, and will bring about $700,000 into this county within the next nine months. "One mile to Anaheim" is the legend displayed in big letters at the railroad depot. This is to impress upon the stranger that the few houses he sees from the car window is not Anaheim but a suburb thereof. We hope the irreparable blunder of locating the depot such a distance from the center of town will not be repeated in the case of the railroad that is now bearing down upon us. Albrecht Bros., contractors and builders have drawn the plans for Dicken ranch, purchased by him some months ago. (Mr. Whitaker later laid out and started the town of Buena Park in this ranch.—Ed.) Rev. J. H. Sherard of M. E. Church South will hold services at Orangethorpe schoolhouse tomorrow morning at eleven o'clock. All friends of Anaheim and vicinity are cordially invited to attend. Anaheim may be called the parent colony, and it is as hard to find a mortgage there as it is to find a huckelberry in midwinter on an Eastern hillside.—(Herald) Wrong: Mortgages in Anaheim are thicker'n bees in a hive. But they are mortgages on property in Los Angeles and other places to secure money loaned by our thrifty citizens. The Deutscher Verein of Anaheim, under whose auspices a social and library entertainment will be given tomorrow evening was organized some months ago. Its semi-monthly meetings are always well attended. The purposes of the society are to promote sociability, to establish a fund to defray funeral expenses of deceased members and to study fruit and grape culture and the manufacture of wine. 25 Years Ago DECEMBER 15, 1910 The United States closes another year in second place among the world naval powers. The great navy building race between Germany and England has brought the former up to the United States in the number of battleships afloat, but in ships projected and in the total number war ships of all kinds, Germans will crowd the United States third place. These facts are shown in the new navy year book prepared by Pitman Pulsifer, clerk the senate committee on naval affairs, and soon to be issued by the government printing office. In armored cruisers, although the technical division made in the United States indicates Germany to have more than this count, the strength of the United States exceeds that of its European rivals. At present the floating navies the leading powers have drowned type vessels as follow: England 11, displacement 203 tons, United States 4, displacement 72,000, Germany 4, displacement 72,000. Orange County this week received $16,771.11 from the office of State Controller Nye, as country's share of taxes that he been paid the state by railroads First installment only was paid the Southern Pacific, $8,331.54 Santa Fe, $8,671.21.

This is to impress upon the stranger that the few houses he sees from the car window is not Anaheim but a suburb thereof. We hope the irreparable blunder of locating the depot such a distance from the center of town will not be repeated in the case of the railroad that is now bearing down upon us. Albrecht Bros., contractors and builders, have drawn the plans for Mr. Selinger's house, and have received the contract for building it. They have also the contract for building the two-story addition to Mr. Krug's building. The Bockisch dwelling, which they have just completed, is a testimonial to their skill as workmen, and any person who desires to secure estimates on any kind of building is recommended to the Albrecht Bros. for a close and reliable estimate. There can be no question of the fact that things are looking up about Anaheim. The inquiry for land was never as great as it is now, and there is every evidence of a revival that will place Anaheim among the list of places which are enjoying the utmost prosperity. How can it possibly be otherwise when land is held here so cheaply? Land fully as good as that at Pasadena and Pomona with a far better water supply, can be purchased here for $100 per acre, while at the places named the price ranges from $300 upwards. There is no season that this descrepancy in price should long exist, for in purchasing land here the buyer gets an unequaled climate, school and church privileges, access to the markets of the world, and, in short, every advantage enjoyed by the most favored settlement in Southern California. The railroad which is in prospective will also send the price of property up when its construction is assured. There was but a small attendance of irrigators at the meeting at Fairview schoolhouse on last Saturday, and after appointing a committee to turn the water into the ditch, an adjournment was had until last evening. The committee turned 2500 inches of water into the ditch on Wednesday for the purpose of The Deutscher Verein of Anaheim, under whose auspices a social and library entertainment will be given tomorrow evening was organized some months ago. Its semi-monthly meetings are always well attended. The purposes of the society are to promote sociability, to establish a fund to defray funeral expenses of deceased members and to study fruit and grape culture and the manufacture of wines.

Nebelung, H. Wehmeyer. Ostrich eggs from the Anaheim farm will be hatched in an incubator at the poultry show which opens in New York on February 3rd. The painter, Mr. S. A. Dennis, has in his shop some beautifully painted wagons and carriages. He is a skillful workman. Baldwin has placed part of his Santa Ana ranch on the market at from $175 to $200 per acre. A. Nagel and V. U. Simpson were initiated into the mystery of Royal Arch Masonry at Fullerton on Tuesday evening. A number of brethren from this city tended and witnessed the richness of the goat, which was done in highest style of the art. Anaheim Odd Fellows on Tuesday evening elected the following officers for the ensuing term: Je Howard, N. G.; Earl Steadin, V. G.; C. W. Hedges, Rec. S.; F. C. Spencer, Fin.

The committee turned 2500 inches of water into the ditch on Wednesday for the purpose of sluicing out the sand. It will take but little work to put the Barger ditch in good order, and we hope it will be done immediately and that the abundance of water now in the river will be diverted to where it will be of benefit. Among the improvements being made are the following: A. Krug is building an addition to his store on Center street, preparatory to using it for his business. Mr. Munger, who purchased in the olden tract some weeks ago, has already finished a building 40 x 40 feet, which he will use temporarily as a dwelling until he can complete the elegant house he has in contemplation. Mr. J. S. Clark is preparing to build a house on the land which he bought through Mr. Keith, as reported today. Mr. J. Selinger is building a commodious residence on his vineyard north of town. Mrs. L. M. Roques is building a substantial addition to her house on Adele street. Invincible Parlor No. 74, Native Sons of the Golden West, will give their first ball at Kroeger's hall on New Year's eve. They are determined that this ball will lack nothing to make it memorable to those who attend. There will be excellent music. Mr. James A.

Assemblyman Clyde Bishop of this district may be called upon to put measures through the next legislature of particular interest in this county. The Orange county farmers mutual fire insurance company wants the law amended so that it may write policies of a maximum of $6500 instead of $4500 as the law now provides. Some of the farmers west of the river, in the pumping plant section want the law amended to further regulate the waste flow of artesian wells. Bishop may also be called upon to take sides in a measure said to have been planned by the gum clubs. This is a state law prohibiting hunting on public highways. C. A.
