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 30, 1886 A construction train with a large force of workmen commenced repairs on the Anaheim railroad at the Los Angeles river was finished on Thursday. About one and a half miles of the washed track was relaid up to Thursday evening. They expect to reach New today or tomorrow and the rebuilding of the bridge will require two days. We may therefore hope for a complete resumption of the railroad communication on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. San Francisco trains make connection and transfer at Lang's station with a delay of but a few hours. The San Francisco train arrived at Los Angeles yesterday at about 5 o'clock P.M. It "blowed big guns" at sea last week, and the waves were large and vigorous. Capt. Davis of the Anaheim Landing tells us that the waves dashed over the wharf and struck the warehouse with great force. The water reached to within fifty yards of the well, which probably eclipses all previous exploits of that kind. There is now no channel at the landing, it has filled up with sand and one can wade across the old channel bed with gum boots on. The first flood in this county of which there is any record (barrin' the flood in which Noah took the most prominent part) was in 1825. The next was in December, 1858, the next in 1860-01, and then in 1867-68. The heavy rains and loss of property in 1884 is yet fresh in the memory of us all. The storm of last week did no damage to the ditches of the A. U. W. Co. worth speaking of. $50 will put them in as good condition as before the storm. Other water companies were not so fortunate, however, the Pasadena Union, speaking of the damage done by the storm says: Next to the railroad loss, perhaps the greatest injury about Pasadena is to the water companies, whose works in the Arroyo were all at the mercy of the torrent. The flumes of the Pasadena L. V. L. and W. Co. which were carried away in November, were taken again this time, and will cause the same expense over again that it did before to replace them. The Orange Grove company also lost some of their iron piping about the Devil's gate. The reservoir near the college broke away, and perhaps others that we have not heard of.

The building is to be 12 x 16 feet, divided into two cells, which will be heavily timbered and spiked, and will be five inches thick. The Board of Supervisors bought the lot for $250, and donated $100 towards the building. The citi-zens subscribed $165. Now let evil doers look out. Mr. C. J. Craw has been singul-arly unfortunate in the inexplicable death of his six horses. Five of them died within ten days. The supposition is that they were poisoned—not maliciously, but by some weed or grass growing in the field where they were allowed to graze. A substantial token of sympathy has been presented to Mr. Craw by his neighbors. W. J. Broad who is living on the Grier place near town has left at the office a branch from an apple tree bearing three growths of fruit, the first second and third crop of apples. Thus another testimony is added to the wonder-ful fecundity of Anaheim soil. Married — At St. Michael's church, January 26th, by Rev. A. P. Spaight, Lionel Browning to Miss Adele Rust. The wedding ceremony on Tuesday evening was witnessed by a gathering of the friends of the bride and groom that filled every seat in the spacious edifice. The pretty church was lavishly decorated and the effect was more than pleasing. As the wedding party advanced up the aisle the wedding march was played by an instrumental quintette and at the conclusion, the deep-toned church bell pealed rejoicingly. The Gazette sends congratulations to the happy young couple. Died—In Anaheim, January 28, Benjamin Dreyfus, aged 61 years. Wether the body will be taken to San Francisco, or buried temporarily in the cemetery here was a question not decided when this paper went to press late yesterday afternoon. Messrs. Weglein and Weil were expected to arrive from San Francisco late last night, and upon their arrival the question of interment will be settled. The usual funeral notices will be distributed today.

The man was comfortably filled at when Judge Howard called meeting to order. City Engineer Stewart explained the plans a sewer system which have adopted by the trustees and workings of a septic tank.

The plant is now run at full normal capacity. In gaining the rapid increase in consumption of electricity Mr. is said that in December, 1907, daily consumption was 502 watts and during December with the birds, but adds he did not bag them all. Max Nebelung remarked to Secretary Armstrong at the Water company office yesterday as he emerged from the directors room where the auditing committee had just finished its annual task of experting the secretary's books, that there was only one criticism which the audit board has to make against your books and that is that we have not had a chance to find a single error in them. The residence of Tim Carroll in West Anaheim is rapidly nearing completion. The dwelling is a magnificent structure, and is one of the finest in the county. Beautiful lawns and ornamental shrubbery will be placed and the practiced eye of the veteran nurseryman will no doubt perfect a parking that will eclipse them all. Theodore Roberts has opened a jewelery store on East Center street in the premises formerly occupied by the Home Investment company. Mr. Roberts is a jeweler of many years practical experience.

Agreements Not Invalidated By Supreme Court The marketing agreements, orders and licenses covering specialty crops industries are not invalidated by the Supreme Court's decision in the Hoosac Mills case, according to word just received by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg from the Department of Agriculture at Washington. The Question of the marketing agreement, order and license provisions of the Agricultural Adjustment Act was not before the Supreme Court in the Hoosac Mills case, it was stated. Throughout the United States there are in effect under the original Agricultural Adjustment Act, Marketing agreements and licenses for 28 fluid milk marketing areas and twelve fruit and vegetable industries. The order accompanying the marketing agreement for oranges and grapefruit grown in California and Arizona has been approved by the Secretary of Agriculture and became effective January 13. A marketing agreement and order under the amended Act for walnuts grown in California, Oregon and Washington has been in effect since October 15, 1935, and will continue to function for this year's crop. The beneficial effect of the marketing agreements on the orderly flow of citrus and walnuts to domestic and foreign markets will continue to the advantage of farm income in Orange County says... workings of a septic tank. He that H. Clay Kellogg had been engaged as consulting engineer and would pass upon all the work. A. L. Lewis, manager of power house explained in detail the future needs of that institution. The plant is now run at full normal capacity. In training the rapid increase in consumption of electricity Mr. is said that in December, 1907, daily consumption was 502 kwatts; and during December passed was two and a half as much as in December, and at the rate of increase inued. It was extremely useful if the plant could supply winter's demand. H. Krick spoke in favor of farmers and told about the wonder-advancement of Anaheim. Ten years ago, he said, the road to the Ana Fe depot was merely a cow road and many of the streets were paths. Its wonderful strides were due to the enterprise citizens, and the step it was to take in inaugurating a water system was the greatest in Anaheim. A number of others in favor of the bond issue Secretary Ahlborn moved that propositions be endorsed and was carried by an unanimous contemplated "Get Accented" trip of Anaheim merits to Huntington Beach and our points set for yesterday was turned two weeks on account of an storm which began Tuesday evening and continued without mention during the entire day.

A Camino Real bell has been placed in front of the Adelhoid bathing establishment. Miss Rose Weinberger has returned from a visit with friends at Seattle and is a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Kroeger. Irving Quarton holds the medal as the champion Boo-yah maker among the town kids. Newcomers in town this week declared Anaheim has the cleanest streets of all cities in Southern California. Fifty-four hundredths of an inch fell on Tuesday and Tuesday night as measured by Mr. Dickel's gauge yesterday morning, total for the season 3.24 inches, last year to date 9.70. Rain continued to fall yesterday and prospects for a prosperous year are excellent. The Walnut Association, representing over 90 percent of the walnut tonnage in California, has estimated that the walnut marketing agreement under the AAA earned the industry about $3,000,000 last year above what it would have received without regulated marketing. Orange County's share of this extra walnut money was $151,000. It has been variously estimated by citrus leaders that the AAA marketing agreement and order for Valencia oranges has contributed to Orange County grower around $2,000,000 per year the past two years over what they would have received without the regulated flow of fruit over what they would have received without the regulated flow of fruit to the market. It prevented an utter demoralization of price this year in view of the heavy production of the past season. Orange County crops which came under the AAA production Adjustment program were sugar beets, hogs and wheat. The benefit payments received by local growers signing contracts did not represent the total benefits accruing from the AAA program. Sugar beet growers in Orange County not only received $84,000 in benefit payments, but the basic price of sugar was also increased by the lowering of quotas from offshore sources. The AAA gave domestic sugar growers a better share of the U.S. Markets than ever before. The greatest benefit of the AAA program to local agriculturists has been its educational influences. It has given the grower a better insight into economic factors influencing his business.

Rain continued to fall yesterday and prospects for a prosperous year are excellent. The greatest benefit of the AAA program to local agriculturists has been its educational influences. It has given the grower a better insight into economic factors influencing his business. It has developed a greater degree of cooperation that ever before attained. These are the lasting benefits. The immediate benefits have seen a more satisfactory income for the producer which in turn is passed on to all his business contracts. Like the earthquake that finds the weaker structures in a city the recent Supreme Court decision found the weak spots in the farmers adjustment program. Out of it will come a sound and permanent farm program looking to the security of the farm home and agriculture, the basis industry of the land.
