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 23, 1886 A glance over the rain record kept by Mr. Langenberger for the past six years shows that the precipitation of Monday night has not been equalled in all that time. It was such a gusty, blustering, rainy night that the man from Oregon actually got homesick, and the tenderfoot from Dakota imagined himself at home among his native blizzards. It was a rain and a wind that came from all points of the compass, and all at once. But for all that, there has been no local damage reported and that it has done a world of good the most invitate growler must be compelled to admit. The regular annual interruption of railroad travel is now in force. The Anaheim train got into Los Angeles with some difficulty at 9 o'clock at night. On Tuesday morning it went to a point beyond Norwalk, got discouraged and went back to Santa Ana where it has been ever since. Three miles of track near Nadeau's vineyard was washed away, 60 feet of the New River bridge has also taken an excursion. A half mile of track this side of Downey has also gone somewhere. The county bridge is also washed away. The Santa Ana river has been very erratic in conduct during the week, even for a California river. On they will endeavor to get some people here to look at some of the undoubted bargains. Lucky Baldwin has imported seventy negroes from North Carolina to work in his Santa Anita ranch. He pays each negro $12 per month and gives them board and lodging. The benevolent ladies of Anaheim are requested to meet at the residence of Mrs. Dreyfus on next Monday at 2:30 P.M. There are several matters of interest to them demanding immediate attention. A fine twenty acre soft shell walnut grove is offered for sale, there are about thirteen acres of bearing vineyard and a large alfalfa field. Inferior house and stable. Abundant water for irrigation in the Yorba ditch. Over fifty acres in the tract. Price $2800. Apply to Capt: Wrede near the property or address M. L. Wicks, Los Angeles, California. Harker, the harnessmaker has aid in a new stock conspicuous among which are a fine lot of handsome buggy robes. Married — At St. Michael's church, Anaheim, Jan. 20, by Rev. Irvin, John W. Hart to Mrs. Mary H. Sheffield. in Southern California which have already built or are now making rapid strides towards the completion of sanitary sewers. Printer upon the seventh page of the issue will be found Ordinance No. 229 calling a bond election to be held in this city on Monday, January 30th for voting upon the issuance of bonds in the amount of $98,500 for municipal betterment. Of this amount $90,000 is for constructing a sewer system and acquiring a sewer farm, and $8,500 is for necessary additions to the city's electric lighting plant. Both are entitled to the support of progressive citizens, and both should receive the approval of voters. Sewer system is demanded by the rapid growth of the city, and the town has outgrown its present lighting plant. Additions are needed and bonds for this purpose should carry. The ordinance is commended to the careful persuasion of our readers. It contains full information, which all good citizens should become acquainted with, and nothing will so successfully conduce to this end than a careful reading of the ordinance Read it, and on election day go to the polls, vote for the improvement bonds and get your neighbor to do likewise. Mrs. Elizabeth Schumacher wife of J. L. Schmacher, died her home on West Center street o Norwalk, got discouraged and went back to Santa Ana where it has been ever since. Three miles of track near Nadeau's vineyard was washed away, 60 feet of the New River bridge has also taken an excursion. A half mile of track this side of Downey has also gone somewhere. The county bridge is also washed away. The Santa Ana river has been very erratic in conduct during the week, even for a California river. On Monday night it rose to a great flood and substantial work was required to preserve the railroad bridge between this place and Santa Ana. It subsided next day and the water came down the old river bed north of town. On Thursday morning the water increased in the river proper as did the water in the old river. The crossing at the latter place was attended with some difficulty but with the exception of the upsetting of a Chinese vegetable wagon, no mishap is reported. There will be no communication by rail with Los Angeles on this branch for a week probably. The dispatch and receipt of mails in the interregnum will depend upon the citizens. The Santa Ana mails went through on Thursday by private conveyance. The rainfall for the week amounted to 4.17 inches. On the 19th the precipitation was 2:66 inches.

Hart to Mrs. Mary H. Sheffield. 25 Years Ago JANUARY 19, 1911 To the Citizens of Anaheim, Cal.: We, the undersigned, appointed by the Anaheim Retail Merchants Association to act as a committee on sewer, hereby urgently and respectfully request the citizens of Anaheim to be present at a mass meeting to be held on Monday, January 23, 1911, at 8 p.m., in the library building to consider the plans and specifications for a complete sewer system as proposed by the city trustees and outlined by Engineer O. E. Steward. Also the proposed addition to the electric light and water plant. Signed, J. Frederick Ahlborn, Henry Kuchel, P. H. Krick, Max Nebelung, Audubon Valjean. It seems wise to call the attention of the voters once more to the necessity of a complete sewer system for our growing city. Anaheim must have a sewer system and have it at the earliest practical date or lose out in its race with the many enterprising towns Mrs. Elizabeth Schumacher wife of J. L. Schmacher; died her home on West Center street on Sunday after a long illness. She was a native of Germany and was aged 58 years. She leaves a husband and seven children, August S., Mrs. J. A.
