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 APRIL 3, 1886 Letters from Chicago bring word that the attendance at the citrus fair now being held in Battery D Armory is growing larger daily and dispatches say that the projectors are greatly pleased at the interest exhibited. We quote: Yesterday and today the crowd attending has been very large. The display in many ways is unique. In the building are five long rows of fruit trees laden with ripe fruit while at each side of them are rows of tables loaded up to their utmost capacity with fruit. An examination of the trees shows that there are among them orange trees bearing fruit in every stage of development. On the same tree are large, ripe, lucious fruit, fruit just changing its dark green hue for a golden orange, fruit of diminutive size, hardly distinguishable from the unburst bud, and biossoms which clothe the tree in bloom. A striking feature of the fair is a pyramid of fruit which rises to a height of thirty feet. It is constructed after the style of the Washington monument and is surrounded by waving plumes of pampas grass and bits of ribbon palm. The Santa Ana valley producers occupy about a fourth of the whole space. Los Angeles, San Gabriel, Anaheim, Orange, Alhambra, Santa Ana, Riverside investigating the cases of Mrs. J. Becker and F. M. Springer who were injured on Sunday when the train from Los Angeles was thrown from the track about one mile west of Norwak by a broken rail. The passenger and smoking cars were capsized into a ditch and nearly all passengers more or less seriously injured. Conductor Curtis was severely shaken. Within two hours repairs were under way and early the following morning the track was in order, permitting trains to run on schedule time. The track has been in bad condition since the washouts of the winter and spring of 1884. Real estate transfer; Plez James to C. E. Groat, town lot N. W. corner of Santa Ana and Los Angeles streets; Anaheim, $500. Our genial number dealer, Mr. Brown of the firm of J. M. Griffith & Co. is building a comfortable house near the depot which he will occupy with his family. Ramon Aguilar has been duly installed as the assistant station agent at Pomona. Frost & Co.'s Van Amburg circus, billed to appear in Anaheim failed to materialize until late in the evening. J. Yaeger, the blacksmith and wagonmaker, left on Monday for The young folks gave a pleasant dance party at Kroeger's home on Thursday night. The spring shearing will be over. Sheepmen say this season's clip is very satisfactory, is also the increase in lambs. New mown barley hay brought into town during week and sold for $10 per loose. 25 Years Ago MARCH 30, 1911 High school and grammar school trustees met at the office of attorney Spencer on Monday evening and decided to call a borough election on Monday, April 24, the purpose of voting upon issue of $100,000 of school bonds for both districts. Of the amount $70,000 is for the purchase of site and erection of a new high school building and $30,000 is for the grammar school district. The were present representing Anaheim high school district Trustees Storm, Spencer, Winter Sparks and Henry. Represented the grammar school district with Trustees Clabaugh, Chambers and Schwenkert. County School District interment Mitchell was predeceased and participated in the discussion. Plans adopted at the meeting include taking over the prehigh school building by grammar district at a valuation of $95,000. The high school district A striking feature of the fair is a pyramid of fruit which rises to a height of thirty feet. It is constructed after the style of the Washington monument and is surrounded by waving plumes of pampas grass and bits of ribbon palm. The Santa Ana valley producers occupy about a fourth of the whole space. Los Angeles, San Gabriel, Anaheim, Orange, Alhambra, Santa Ana, Riverside and other fruit growing centers are well represented. Native wines are displayed in bottles and cases, ostrich eggs, cactus, pampas plants and hundreds of other rare growths of the Golden state are everywhere. A pretty feature of the Anaheim exhibit is a display of pressed set-moss work by Mrs. L. F. Lewis. The Anaheim display is in charge of Mr. R. Melrose, while Dr. J. A. Crane, Mr. C. F. Mansur and Mr. Carey R. Smith look after the Santa Ana exhibit. Mr. J. H. Frederick of Orange ably manages the display from that place, he is assisted by Mr. J. Purcell Boring. A runaway occurred on Monday last nearly resulting in a fatal accident. A team of horses on Los Angeles street became frightened by a bicycle and in turn scared a heavy truck team, both ran wildly, one turning down Center street was checked without damage. The truck was dragged down Los Angeles street and collided with a buggy containing Mr. and Mrs. Sitton of Orange, both of whom were thrown violently to the ground. Mrs. Sitton received a serious shock. Her shoulder was dislocated, but in the act of carrying her into a neighboring house was slipped into place again. Although a lady of 70 years of age her condition is favorable to recovery. The dust from the streets is now becoming almost unbearable and it is only a short time since the last trains. Let our storekeepers come forward and subscribe liberally for street sprinkling and let us have the sprinkling cart out at once. If enough money cannot be raised in this way, the Town Trustees could very justly donate a small sum monthly for this purpose, which would add greatly to the comfort and convenience of all. Ramon Aguilar has been duly installed as the assistant station agent at Pomona. Frost & Co.'s Van Amburg circus, billed to appear in Anaheim failed to materialize until late in the evening. J. Yaeger, the blacksmith and wagonmaker, left on Monday for a three weeks visit to Chicago. During his absence Mr. Snyder will attend to all the business of the firm. Mr. W. M. Bailey has arrived home from Newhall where he has been for the past few months attending to his interests in a large stock farm. William Konig leaves today for St. Louis, Chicago and other eastern points. L. Schorn left on Monday last for a business and pleasure trip to his old home in Texas.

This season's rainfall has been distributed most opportunely for heavy grain crop an unusually large increase has been sown and is now looking splendidly. A rain at this time would do more damage than good by causing lodgment of the heavy growth of wheat and barley.
