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 50 YEARS AGO JANUARY 9, 1886 Even as we predicted, the display of fruit at the Fair in Santa Ana was a revelation to old inhabitants of the valley. Such being the case it is not difficult to imagine the effect upon the strangers who a few weeks ago were wrestling with the blinding blizzards prevailing in "the states." The Anaheim exhibit was the most conspicuous one in the hall. The first exhibit noticed upon entering were two banana trees, each bearing large bunches of fruit, contributed by Marshall Haight. The pyramid of oranges and the tasty arrangement of the wine exhibit stood out in bold relief. The following is a list of the exhibits from Anaheim: Leonard Parker, Washington naval oranges, seedlings oranges, Sicily lemons, apples; Lionel Browning, oranges, Lisbon lemons, apples; F. Bockman, large oranges; Browning Bros., Lisbon lemon; D. W. Fish, oranges; F. H. Keith, med. sweet and Wash. navel oranges, apples; H. Werder, oranges; W. M. McFadden, W. navel and med. sweet oranges, sweet rind lemons, Lisbon lemons, Sicily seedlings; Silas Holman, W. navel oranges, Lisbon lemons; Mrs. A. Langenberger, strawberries; R. J. Northam, peanuts; Mrs. L. Parker, sun dried apples, apricots, peaches, tobacco plant in blossom; A. J. Mead, they will get the worth of their money. The two story brick building on Los Angeles street has been sold by F. Conrad to Carl Pamperl for $2000, and the adjoining vacant lots have also been bought by Mr. Pamperl who intends to go into the hardware business. "Lewis, the roaring lion of Judah and the light of the world," has written a blasphemous and profane postal card to the Gazette to be delivered to Ira Waite-Hinde, whoever he may be. Lewis is a nuisance. Mme. Lacroq, the French dressmaker, announces that she is still at her parlors in Rimpau Bros. store. She has a fine run of patronage. 25 Years Ago JANUARY 5, 1911 Confronted with another legal battle to protect their water rights from infringement up river, the boards of directors of the Santa Ana and Anaheim Union Water companies met at the office of the latter company in this city for an all-day conference on Thursday with a delegation of men representing the Sunny Slope company which has erected a pumping plant four miles north of Riverside and seeks to pump 400 inches of water for diversion upon 1600 acres of Placentia. Mr. Crowther puts orange crop for the coming year for this southern district at 35 carloads. He maintains that previously published reports place the output at from 45,000 to 50,000 carloads are entirely too high. Clarence Smith and wife were in town on Sunday from Fuller visiting friends. They took in a ball game in company of a pair of fans and Clarence being a spinner wagered a dollar on the loss side. The money was taken by young lady who is loyal to home team. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Sandila entertained the O. M. B. club their residence on Saturday evening. A fine dinner was discussed after which the evening was given over to cards. The prizes were souvenir spoons, the gentlemen being awarded to Mr. McLaughlin and the lady's to Mrs. C. E. Hcomb. A delightful evening enjoyed by all. Dr. Freeman is out again after two weeks illness at the Fuller hospital. He has regained usual robust health and enclosed upon the new year as spry a cricket. George Huntington and M Elizabeth Kemper popular young people of this city were marched Thursday. Bros., Lisbon lemon; D. W. Fish, oranges; F. H. Keith, med. sweet and Wash. navel oranges, apples; H.

As stated above the wine exhibit was most tastefully arranged and the contributors generously gave the entire exhibit for distribution among the visitors. Among the miscellaneous exhibits was a collection of 200 varieties of eggs exhibited by Julius Schneider. The eggs ranged in size from that of a quail to mammoth ostrich egg. Mrs.Erwin Barr had, in an elaborate frame, an arrangement of moss and shells gathered on Laguna Beach. Mrs.L.Parker contributed 55 galla lilies. Stretched at its full length of 30 feet was a grape vine cutting, the growth of one year contributed by B.F.Porter. In the matter of flowers there was nothing more to be desired. They were contributed in abundance. To the following battle to protect their water rights from infringement up river, the boards of directors of the Santa Ana and Anaheim Union Water companies met at the office of the latter company in this city for an all-day conference on Thursday with a delegation of men representing the Sunny Slope company which has erected a pumping plant four miles north of Riverside and seeks to pump 400 inches of water for diversion upon 1600 acres of non-reparian land. The conference lasted all day without result and another meeting will be held at the water office today. The Sunny Slopers suggested compromise but the valley men saw nothing to compromise. The Anaheim company was represented by Wm.Crowther, H.H.Hale, Wm.McLaughlin, B.F.Porter, G.W.Sherwood, and A.S.Bradford and Santa Ana by directors Finley, Smith, Dierker, Neally and Rohrs. Attorney Keech and Engineer Kellogg also represented the two companies.

The exhibition of raisins displayed by McPherson Bros. and by Pixley & Arne of Orange could not be surpassed. Many Easterners asked why they could not procure California wines in the East of as good quality and delicate flavor as the samples shown them. They could, if they went to the right place.
