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 Doing of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 Years Ago MARCH 27, 1886 It has been held by many that in a rainy season a great number of squirrels, gophers and other pests are destroyed, thus being a double boon to the farmer. This year is most certainly an exception; at all events. Farmers and vineyardists are complaining that the pests are worse than ever. Even in our town gardens and orchards the ground is literally honey-combed by gopher holes. The jack rabbits are also a nuisance. On a recent visit to the ostrich farm one of our citizens counted 23 jacks within two hundred yards of the wagon gate, and this in the afternoon, too. W. E. Willmore, the founder of Long Beach, has had forwarded to the Chicago citrus fair a huge bird's-eye picture of this section, which he painted three years ago and had on exhibition at the St. Louis Exposition. The view is in water colors, on a canvas 12 x 24 foot and embraces the whole sweep of the ocean front from Newport to Santa Monica and back to the Sierra Madres between San Fernando and San Bernardino. Postmaster Gardiner is in deep dispair, in the slough of despond sell cuttings, and now within the last week over twenty parties have been inquiring for that variety of grape, the demand reaching 50,000 or more cuttings. Who has any for sale. The name of Walter S. Moore is becoming prominent as a candidate for Republican nomination for secretary of state. Wattler would make a good secretary, but what would the Las Angeles Fire department do without him? Santa Monica has blossomed out with a newspaper brim full and running over with interesting local matter. It is headed "The Santa Monica Wave," Long may it wave. The last hunt for the slaughter of the innocent jack-rabbit took place west of town on last Saturday. The usual number of vallant 50 YEARS(Continued) hunters and flasks were on hand and but few guilty rabbits escaped. Railroad fares have advanced slightly. They now stand as follows: To Kansas City, $5; to St. Louis, $12.50; to Chicago, $17.70; to New York, $32.50; to Boston, $34.50. The rooms south of Fritz Ruhman's saloon on Los Angeles street are fitted up for a restaurant. 25 Years Ago There died in Los Angeles days ago Victor Dol, thirty years ago the best known Caterer Southern California. His commercial restaurant, situated in Downey block was the rendezvous of bon vivants from all over southland, and the young men Anaheim frequently drove into city for a dinner at Dol's muec they now take a train for a the party. The drive consumed two hours, and the return trip bade in the small hours of morning. The dining rooms located back from the Main stair and adjoining them was a space court where a fountain play In the early 70's, during the B campaign, a coach load of fifteen drove up from this city attend the meeting, and incidentally to dine at Dol's. A plate was erected in front of the Lafayette hotel on upper Main bonfires blazed in the streets, the party only three are yet life. Los Angeles was then a ribbed democratic county, Booth was elected governor. In the county turned into the back republican county of the state. Dol's meals attracted wide tention throughout the state, visitors dined there from all of the southwest. He amassed fortune, although his prices ridiculously low as compared Postmaster Gardiner is in deep dispair, in the slough of despond as it were. On Thursday evening he securely fastened his team near the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, as is his custom, with the expectancy of finding it after finishing his official duties. Alas, for the depravity and cupidity of man. Some fiend, rescaled stole the whole outfit, and the Doctor trudged home on foot. One may wonder at, but can reason out the necessities of the thieves who have of late been operating in and about Anaheim. A can of coal oil, a coffee mill, a cultivator and other articles of like ilk have a value to the burglar who carried them off. But for what earthly purpose a man should run off with Dr. Gardiner's horses and buggy is beyond human comprehension. The scoundrel who stole them is fit to live only with coyotes and feed upon rotten eggs and carrion. The Sunset Telephone Company is constructing a new line from Los Angeles through to Tustin. The route follows the county road. The old line was built along the railroad, and worked unsatisfactorily on account of induction from the telegraph wires. The new line will be equipped with copper wire and the latest patterns of transmitters and receivers. Poies along Los Angeles street are already set, and workmen are now engaged in putting up the wire. We are requested to call the attention of the Board of Town Trustees to the fact that many of the pepper trees lately planted along Center street to the depot are dead and need replanting. So great an improvement should not be allowed to lapse through attention. Mairn's Cyclorama of Mormon life was exhibited to a large audience in Kroeger's hail on Monday evening. It was of unusual ex- GREATE 225 EAST CENTER STREET MEAT DEPT. Tasty Roasts at Low Prices In the whole city you'll find no better quality meats than those at the Greater Anaheim market.

It was of unusual excellence, and as much more was shown than had been promised, it gave good satisfaction. Anaheim is not disposed to boost of her freight shipments, but as a matter of fact they exceed in tonnage and value the shipments from any other railroad station in Los Angeles county, the city, of course, excepted. Station Agent Durling has furnished us with a memorandum showing the following shipments from Anaheim since the first of the present month: Twenty-one cars of oranges to San Francisco and the east; 7 cars of livestock to San Francisco; 22 cars of wine destined for New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Buffalo, St. Helena and other points. Two cars of raisins, 10 cars of trees and 40 cars of miscellaneous freight destined to various points making a total of 102 carloads of Anaheim produce shipped during the last 25 days. The contract for building the school house at Ocean View district has been awarded to Sorenson & Young of Anaheim, and they have already commenced work on the building. It will be 30 x 46 and quite an ornament to that section. A sudden demand has developed for Berger grape cuttings. Most of those who have Berger vineyards burned their brush last fall, never thinking of being able to ANAHEIM GAZETTE NG AGO Quarter of a Century Point of the Daily Doings of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago Are died in Los Angeles some ago Victor Dol, thirty years the best known Caterer in California. His commercial restaurant, situated in the key block was the rendezvous in vivids from all over the land, and the young men of him frequently drove into the or a dinner at Dol's much as now take a train for a theatre The drive consumed three hours, and the return trip was in the small hours of the ing.

A platform erected in front of the old ette hotel on upper Main and trees blazed in the streets. Of early only three are yet living. Angeles, was then a rocked democratic county, but was elected governor. Later county turned into the banner polician county of the state. It's meals attracted wide attention throughout the state, and orders dived there from all parts the southwest. He amassed a nune, although his prices were obviously low as compared with Standing as a unit against the purpose of this city to maintain a sewer farm on the Gilbert ranch at Magnolia, a meeting of 100 residents of that section on Thursday evening resolved to incorporate into a municipality under the name of Stanton. The title is in honor of Philip A. Stanton, last year a candidate for governor on the Republican ticket. In this city hope that an amiciable settlement of the matter might yet be had has not been abandoned. City Engineer Steward held a conference this week with land owners west of Magnolia to ascertain whether an outfall may be obtained in that vicinity. The sewer problem as it confronts this city is a knotty one, just as it is a knotty problem to every growing town in Southern California. Land is becoming so valuable, and the county so rapidly settling up, that it is a condition not a theory that confronts us. Manager Hadseli of the sugar mill on Monday visited Downey and Compton where recent overflows played havoc in the beet fields, and found that his company has sustained a loss of not to exceed 150 acres. This tract will be immediately replanted. He signed up 157 acres of new land which will be planted as soon as ground can be prepared for the crop: Supt. Egge has 200 men engaged at the mill.

The shipment of cabbage has begun with an initial shipment of six cars.
