IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Centurion 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 FEBRUARY 13, 1886 At the meeting of the A. U. W. Co. on last Saturday the following committees were appointed: On main ditches and reservoirs, Mead, Zeyn, McFadden; on company’s property and supplies, McFadden, Mead, Korn; on water improvements, Melrose, Mead, Gilman; on finance, Zeyn, Korn, Northam; on law and litigation, Melrose, Northam. The matter of preparing a map, showing the location of the flumes, ditches, gates, etc., was referred to the law committee. Mr. H. Clay Kellogg was engaged to make the map. A committee was appointed to prepare a paper defining the duties of the superintendent and the zanjeros, and it was ordered that the secretary advertise for bids for the positions of superintendent and zanjeros the bids to be acted upon at the meeting on the 20th instant. It was ordered that water be sold at the rate of 30 cents to the share, and to stockholders only. A contract was made with A. E. White to extend the pipe on the main ditch 30 feet to give the river greater vent during high water. The superintendent was instructed to immediately clear the bottom of the reservoir of all weeds and brush, have it plowed, tamped and thoroughly prepared for the reception of water, and when this is done that he turn as Sin Lee gives notice that he has again taken possession of the laundry business formerly conducted by him at the old stand, and warns all persons against paying money to one Sin Dong for washing done at the laundry as he has left the place owing Sin Lee a large sum. He also owes the help he employed during the time he had the laundry. The sidewalk on Los Angeles street is being constructed by E. G. Huntington, the contractor. The “rabbit shoot” begins today at 10 o’clock. It is expected that there will be forty hunters present. Rev. J. W. Graham will preach in Rev. Bollinger’s church next Sunday at 3 P. M. and 7 P. M.

Groat, a son. 25 Years Ago FEBRUARY 9, 1911 Harking back to the days when the footsteps of Junipero Serra might have trodden the identical spot upon which they stood, a large concourse of ladies and gentlemen assembled at the Adelheid baths on Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock to witness the ceremonies of christening and blessing the El Camino Real bell which stands in Grimshaw. The exercises were held in of the building. A stand been erected decked in bed and the national colors. The rising several feet above the those on the stand was in the folds of a starry flame Miss Grimshaw unveiled that choir consisting of Miss and Gertrude Kennedy and Marie Rimpau sang “Veni tor” accompanied upon the by Miss Sophie Rimpau. The later sang “Magnifleat.” Grim called the meeting to and introduced Father Dubb spoke at length upon the of El Camino Real referring words to the work Junipero Serra, founder of fornia missions who undoubtedly passed along the ancient high which we now call Los Ave street, on his way from San to San Gabriel. Miss El Parker recited a poem “El C Real” and the exercises closed by the crowd s“America.” Before dispersing the crowds photographed.

White to extend the pipe on the main ditch 30 feet to give the river greater vent during high water. The superintendent was instructed to immediately clear the bottom of the reservoir of all weeds and brush, have it plowed, tamped and thoroughly prepared for the reception of water, and when this is done, that he turn as much water into the reservoir as it will hold, and make careful memoranda of the loss of water by seepage and evaporation. Mr. Kenyon Cox is having a number of "driven wells" sunk on his ranch north of town, which he will connect by a system of his own and pump the water therefrom with a steam pump. The system is about the same as that proposed on a grandeur scale by himself and associates some months ago to the water company. The water is to be used for irrigating his vineyard. That part of the rancho not in vineyard has been leased to Mr. J. Walton of Westminster for a stock ranch. One of the results of the exhibit made by Anaheim at the Santa Ana Fair is a letter received by one Anaheim wine-grower from a gentleman in an Eastern city, asking his lowest rates for a carload of wine. Among the wine distributed to Eastern visitors at the close of the Fair was one bearing the label of the grower who received the letter, and it is evident that the wine has been placed where its merit is appreciated. Representations of a Vermont colony visited Los Alamitos Rancho a few days ago, and entered into negotiations with J. W. Bixby for 3000 acres of the rancho. The price agreed upon was $30 an acre, and a definite conclusion will be reached within a day or two. If this tract is purchased, forty families will take possession as soon as they can get here from the Granite state. The citrus boom in the northern counties has stimulated the demand for orange trees. Two carloads of trees were sent from Anaheim to Sacramento on Thursday. Thus do we minister the new-born The citrus boom in the northern counties has stimulated the demand for orange trees. Two carloads of trees were sent from Anaheim to Sacramento on Thursday. Thus do we minister the new-born vanity of our northern friends and chuckle at their gullibility as we pocket their coin. Deputy Collector Beck and Special Agent Conway of the Internal Revenue Department are in town. They are alert gentlemen, thoroughly acquainted with their duties, and are certainly not offensive in the discharge of orders as we infer some officials are from the structures published elsewhere. Two carloads of oranges, one carload of trees and one carload of wine, besides numerous other small lots of produce were shipped from the Anaheim depot yesterday, and it wasn't a very good day for shipments either. A Russian leather photograph case containing photographs was lost on Tuesday on the streets of Anaheim. The finder will receive the grateful thanks of the owner by leaving the cast at this office. Michael Conner was killed by the cars at Shorb station near San Gabriel on Wednesday. He was pushing a car on the siding, when he slipped and fell, and the car passed over him.
