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 JANUARY 2, 1886 The fourth quarterly meeting of the Los Angeles Pomological society will be held at Pasadena January 7th, 1886, at Williams Hall at 10 a.m. An address of welcome will be delivered by Dr. O. H. Congar. An essay will be read by Milton Thomason "The Present and Future of Fruit Culture in Southern California," followed by a discussion. In the afternoon an essay on "Pruning and Renovating Orchards," will be read by J. W. Sallee of Pomona, followed by a discussion of the vexed question "Do Bees Injure Fruit?" In the evening an essay will be read by Abbot Kinney on "Packing and Marketing of Citrus Fruits." Among those appointed to serve on the Fruit Exhibit committee are—Robert Strong, Westminster, Richard Melrose, Anaheim; H. K. Snow, Tustin; Dr. Joslyn, Orange; Fred L. Alles, Los Angeles; F. R. Willis, Downey; D. Edson Smith, Santa Ana. A fine display of fruit will be made at this session and afterwards sent east for exhibition. It is hoped that a large display will be made for this purpose. A Pomona fruit grower has a tree blossomed for a fourth crop, but did not fruit. At Santa Ana an apple tree is said to have borne fine fruit that has neither seeds nor core. The work of prospecting for bedrock in Santa Ana canyon has been postponed for a couple of weeks. Several holes have been put down with varying success. Some found the rock and some did not, and it is possible that it will be very deep to bedrock under the flat on the south side of the present stream. Mr. J. C. Gromley of the Los Angeles Times has been in town for several days taking notes. A prolific and forceful writer, we have no doubt that our town and vicinity will be well written up in the forthcoming annual issue of the paper he represents. The ball last evening "for sweet Charley's sake," was very largely attended, and the utmost sociability prevailed. The promoters have the satisfaction of knowing that their efforts were well rewarded. The Placentia Literary society gave an excellent program at their meeting last week.

A San Francisco paper says "The California Southern Railroad has asked for estimates for furnishing 100,000 ties with which to lay its tack from Riverside to Los Angeles: Representative Teller will offer a bill to raise the duty on raising to five cents and on prunes three cents. If the bill passes, he believes it will make a difference to growers of these fruits in California of a quarter of a million dollars annually. The Santa Ana bank commenced on Tuesday paying out, for the assignees of B. F. Seibert, a five per cent dividend, and amounting to five thousand dollars which just at this time, is peculiarly admirable.

The first crop is ripe, the second as large as hens eggs, and the third the size of a marble.
