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 May 3, 1888 The Republican state convention completed its labors on Tuesday after a harmonious session. Los Angeles carried off the honors, securing the election of Henry T. Gage as delegate at large and H. Z. Osborne from the sixth district. The members of the state central committee for Los Angeles county are H. T. Payne, Colonel J. Bonebrake of Pasadena and D. O. J. Chubb of Orange. The property on the northeast corner of Center and Los Angeles streets has been purchased by S. S. Federman, who will erect a handsome two-story brick building thereon. Mr. Federman is one of our most energetic citizens and his present move will be heartily appreciated by everybody. At the Democratic primaries to elect delegates to the county convention to be held in Los Angeles on May 5th, the following gentlemen were elected: W. M. McFadden, J. S. Gardiner, B. F. Porter, A. T. Pendleton, H. C. Gade, C. L. Ennis, T. A. Darling, W. J. Smith. The little daughter of Dr. Gardiner has been quite seriously ill with pneumonia during the past week, but hopes are entertained for her ultimate recovery. ished by Vicente Yorba for the occasion to which ample justice was done by the large crowd in attendance. The town election on Monday passed off quietly, only 137 votes being polled. Many voters failed to exercise the elective franchise; some being out of town. A few workers kept busy bringing recuant voters to the polls. Two tickets for the office of Town Trustee were in the field, but the unfortunate affair of supplying one side with illegal ballots, when it was too late to remedy the evil caused many voters to lose interest in the election and in consequence many voters failed to exercise their franchise. C. O. Rust was inspector and W. T. Hudson and Henry Boege judges. L. C. Griffham and Frank Rimpau acted as secretaries. Following is the vote: A. G. Goldthwaite 109, Theodore Reiser 106, S. Littlefield 107, Frank Ey 98, T. J. F. Boege 86, H. Kroeger 4, J. P. Zeyn 4, J. W. Hart 12, F. Backs 19, J. Yaeger 20, F. A. Korn 47. Assessor—J. Landell 96, S. P. Bates 33. Clerk—Mr. Nebelung 119, E. B. Johnson 20. Treasurer—Plez James 134. Justice of the Peace—J. B. Pierce 86, A. V. Fox 34. For Reorganization 125, against 4. R. J. Northam has sold his house to Vicente Yorba for the occasion to which ample justice was done by the large crowd in attendance. 25 Years Ago May 1, 1913 Showing that outlying districts which have recently gotten petitions against the formation of the Security Protection district are lower in altitude and consequently more subject to overreaction than these districts are in danger from flood waters near the river. V. U. Simpson reported that while $35,000 was in treasury for construction of bridge at Olive, it would not built until a protection district should be formed and steps taken to curb the waters of the river which in flood times has made dered about this district, including land on both sides of this river and on some occasions the main stream ran down the center town. Fullerton people are calculating petitions saying that property in that city is not subject to overflow. They forget that years ago men were engaged in shoveling mud from floors of business houses in Fullerton, and that man lost his life in aiding rents. City Engineer Steward, with A. A. Mills, went over boundary of the proposed district was asked to talk on the matter "I have lived in this city years," he said, "and know something about the actions of Santa Ana river." For four years in 1889 it was impossible for one to get from Santa Ana to Angeles except by wagon road and part of the time that was possible. The whole county was inundated and railroad traffic were a scarce article in these pages. The fact is we all recognize water protection as a crucial element of our community's health and well-being.* The little daughter of Dr. Gardiner has been quite seriously ill with pneumonia during the past week, but hopes are entertained for her ultimate recovery. A copy of the Gazette was last Thursday placed, through the courtesy of W. M. Philip Davis, in the casket embedded in the corner-stone of the new court house in Los Angeles. An enjoyable 8 to 12 social was given at Kroeger's hall on Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the young ladies of Anaheim. A very pleasant evening was passed by those in attendance. Among those present were Mrs. A. L. Lewis, Miss Emma Schneider, Miss Louise Schneider, Miss Clara Mosseman, Miss Fannie Higgins, Miss Maggie Higgins, Miss Gussie Hartung, Miss Eda Boege, Miss Dora Zeyn, Miss Minnie Zeyn, Miss Birdie Hartman, Miss Goneber, Miss Bechier, Miss Jennie Gardiner, Miss Mollie Gardiner, J. Seeger, F. U. Schaumberger, A. L. Lewis, F. Crist, E. Brooding, Victor Brownning, H. Wunberg, S. C. Berry, J. J. Schrödinger, O. des Grandes, J.

Mills, went over the diary of the proposed district asked to talk on the matter. He lived in this city 25 years he said, "and know some-about the actions of the Ana river. For four weeks it was impossible for anyone get from Santa Ana to Los Angeles except by wagon road, part of the time that was impole. The whole county was located and railroad trains a scarce article in these parts. Fact is we all recognize the point at Yorba to Buena Park. The fall from Anaheim to Garden Grove is 17 feet per mile, while the fall down the river bed is only 13 feet. If the river breaks over there is no telling where the water will go for all this county to the west is lower than the river bed, which becomes higher year by year," J. W. Duckworth said that the report that the forming of the district would cost $10 to $12 per acre was absurd, and that 50 cents per acre ought to cover the cost. H. H. Cole of Buena Park stated that in the Artesia district the cost had been $5 per acre and that $150,000 had been spent in river protection in that district. Supervisor Schumacher, when asked to state if the limit of taxes could be fixed by voters in the district said that the district attorney had been asked to render a decision on the protection district matter and would report later. To date he could not give an answer to the question. Secretary Ahlborn of the board of trade said the assessed valuation of all property in the proposed protection district is $15,000,000, and a tax of 20 cents on the $100 for the first five years, making a total of $30,000 yearly for the work ought to be sufficient to carry on the necessary improvements. As only $5000 has been spent upon river protection in this section in the last 20 years, $30,000 a year ought to be sufficient to afford adequate protection.

Henry Hetebrink was in town the first of the week from his ranch at Placentia. Mr. Hetebrink notes increasing activity in oil development in his section but so far has declined offers of oil companies to drill upon his land. What promises to be one of the best Fourth of July celebrations in the history of the city is being planned by members of the local Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias. A committee composed of Geo. W. Hamler, V. L. Simpson, H. M. Adams, H. A. Dickel and Herman Stern was appointed to have charge of the big time. C. S. Crookshank and John Beatty were in town from Santa Ana on Monday delivering state road bonds to local bankers. Congressman Kettner has our thanks for public documents from Washington.

We are able to overflow, for no one fell where the river is going it is gone." A. Mills brought a map of ecological survey for this district and showed the altitude of various portions of the pro-district. "The danger point the Yorba bridge," he said, from there flood waters are to break away and flood any of the northern part of the seed district. The Santa Fe in Fullerton is four feet than the Santa Fe depot in Elmim. The same contour line passes through the river near the Chinese gardens east of Haheim also goes through the residence of W.

Pearson, veteran chief of police of Fullerton today announced his candidacy for the office of sheriff of Orange county. The formal announcement followed a period in which Pearson considered the matter at length and conferred with friends throughout the county who advised his candidacy. A member of the Fullerton police department for more than 12 years, Pearson has served as chief of the department for almost the entire period. He has been a resident of Orange county for the past 23 years during which time he has been a rancher and citrus grower. His work as peace officer is reflected in the records of the Fullerton police department. A record of a clean, progressive community is shown in the city he has Orange Prepares for Celebration Golden Jubilee Event Will Be Held at Plaza City Monday, Tuesday Orange, from its swaddling clothes to its present robust state, a span of 50 years, will be reviewed in retrospect at the great Golden Jubilee in the plaza city next Monday evening and Tuesday. All is ready for one of the most elaborate celebrations ever arranged in the county. The entire outdoor program, including the coffee, sugar and cream to be served in municipal park Tuesday noon, is free. On Monday evening, Governor Frank F. Merriam will be speaker at the dedication dinner for the new $35,000 Santa Fe railway station in Orange. Only 350 seats at the dinner in Legion hall are available, so a rush for advance reservations has started. W. O. Hart, Orange publisher and president of the chamber of commerce, cases from Fullerton, which have found their way into court, are far below the average number in comparison with cities of equal size. Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock comes the big March of Progress parade, a long array of floats depicting the transformation of half a century. The city's seven schools have entered floats presenting the historical background of Orange. After lunch, at 1:30, the horse show will be held on the high school grounds, directed by M. E. "Dick" Jones, well-known El Modena horseman. A score more of entries within the last few days promises representation of exhibitors and riders from the entire southland. Elsewhere during the afternoon, sports and games will be conducted for the public. NEW KIND OF TIRE! GIVES "DRY" TRACKS ON WET ROADS!
