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 FEBRUARY 27, 1886 At the meeting of the Directors of the A. U. W. Co. on Saturday, the superintendent reported that he had been unable to comply with the order of the Board regarding the reservoir, because their was considerable water in it which could not easily be drained. The committee reported a series of rules defining the duties of superintendent and zanjeros which were adopted. Action upon bids, for these positions was deferred until today, immediately after the stockholders meeting. The maximum of the superintendent's salary was fixed at $85 per month, and of the distributing zanjeros at $65 per month. The bonds of the treasurer and secretary were fixed at $2000 each. The salary of the secretary was fixed at $40 per month. Engineer Kellogg was employed to survey for an extension of the Anaheim ditch up the river so as to bring the grade of the ditch below that of the river, and thus obviate the annual expense of a dam. The stockholders meet today to take action upon the proposed amendments to the by-laws. Forty-one carloads of oranges were sent forward from this county by fast freight on Sunday. Their destinations were St. Joe, Cincinnati, Detroit, Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, Bloomington, Burlington, Buffalo, Dubuque, now the envy of their playmates. They take their constitutional ride in a little wagon drawn by two goats which pull their load quite demurely and sagaciously. It is an interesting outfit. Congressman Markham writes to the Gazette that 25 packages of vegetable seeds are en route here and desires the editor to distribute them "without regard to politics." The first annual race meeting of Los Angeles bicyclists took place in Los Angeles on Monday. In the three-mile race (open to all) Edwin Clark of Anaheim won in 12 minutes and 6½ seconds. Mr. M.

A conference has been held between authorities of the Pacific Coast Steamship company and the Southern Pacific relative to the railway and steamship service between San Francisco and Los Angeles via San Pedro. The railway people propose to put on a straight passenger train between Los Angeles and the bay at San Pedro, with a branch to Long Beach to accommodate the travel to that place. If this is done the P. C. S. S. Company will reduce their running time to meet the improvement proposed by the railway.

A carload is 350 boxes and weights about 28,000 pounds. The rate by passenger train is $2.50 per cwt., or about the old rates of a year or two ago. As the fast freight cars go to Omaha in four days there is no need of shipping by passenger train. This is a vast saving to shippers and growers. Sundry and various peals of thunder and flashes of lightening, and a whole sky full of threatening clouds on Thursday afternoon promised a rainfall which would be quite apportune.

When the grain had been seeded rains began falling, and to date seven inches more have descended upon the tract. In consequence he looks for an excellent crop. Not so many years ago Mr. Hill sowed 2000 acres to barley, and was one of the largest grain farmers in Orange County. "The area sown to grain in this valley is lessening right along," he said this week, "on account of the expanding orchard area, but the foothill country is being seeded to grain where formerly it was given over entirely to grazing. At El Toro and Trabuco large areas have been seeded. Plows are being run on hillsides when formerly we thought a goat could not climb."
