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 Sept. 6, 1888 Music Hall was crowded on Saturday evening by an immense audience, as eager to be present at the opening night of our new opera house as to see the performance of "Ingomar" by the Neill Warner company. Everybody was glad to be there, and all voted Mr. Reiser's enterprise a most praiseworthy undertaking. Our opera house is the finest on the circuit excepting Los Angeles. The leasees, Messrs. Pellegrin and Landell, state the hall will be let only to the best companies that come to Southern California. Among the attractions to appear at an early date are Verona Jarbeau, the great Herman and Modjeska. The scenery was painted by Sosman & Landis of Chicago, and is capitally done. A little before 8 o'clock on Saturday evening people began to assemble, and soon the street cars, filled with gaily dressed ladies and gentlemen began to pass to the opera house. A large delegation was present from Orange and Santa Ana, arriving upon the 8:03 California Central theatre train. They were accompanied by the Orange band. Every chair was filled. At the close of the performance mutual congratulations were exchanged for happy "first nighters." Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Reiser came early and seemed to enjoy being in the new theatre as much as anybody else. Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Rimpau and family were interested spectators. Mr. and Mrs. Willie n Konig at 25 Years Ago Sept. 4, 1913 The Anaheim Fruit association whose packing house is located on the Southern Pacific track, sold a car of valencias in the Boston market this week, the first grade bringing $7.50, the second grade $6.75 and the third $5.90. On inquiry at the packing house Manager Sandilands stated this was the highest price ever paid for local fruit as far as known, and was the highest price realized this season by any association in the exchange. The State Highway Commission has called for bids for 11 miles of paved highway in this county, running from the Los Angeles county line through La Habra and thence along county road between Fullerton, this city and Santa Ana. Bids will be opened September 24, and it is expected work will begin at an early date. The route will traverse the upper roadway instead of the lower road. The Ebell society will meet Saturday, September 6th, at 2:30 o'clock at the Fremont school house. It is presidents' day and an interesting program has been arranged. Remember that according to the amendment of the constitution all who have not paid dues for the year—September 1913 to September 1914—on or before the October meeting, will be dropped from membership in the society. The following are the committees for the year: H. G. AMES Contestants for superior judge be Judge H. G. Ames, the in held a good margin over Davis. ford, E. A. Day.

At the meeting of the Board of City Trustees yesterday Joseph Bennerschmidt asked permission to erect a telephone line from his place of business on Center street to his residence on Lemon street and thence to the residence of H. Werder on Citron street. Permission granted provided the line does not conflict with the existing laws in regard to the obstruction of streets. He also asked for the official grade in front of his property on Center street. City Marshal Smythe appointed Impressario Jack Landell as his deputy. Superintendent of streets reported the construction of a culvert at the corner of Cypress and Los Angeles streets.

The bridge will be constructed over the wash at the extension of Lemon street, and be 510 feet long and have twenty feet of roadway.

Hanson, local manager of Bank of America, announces that his institution has undertaken an aggressive campaign to acquaint the customers and friends of Bank of America with the bank's lending policy. This policy, as explained by A.P. Giannini, chairman of the board of directors, is to provide the soundest type of credit best suited to the need of every individual and of every established business no matter how large or small. According to Hanson, the policy itself is not new, but advantage has been taken of liberalized government regulations to broaden the loan services of Bank of America. Financial observers have noted that the bank has substantially anticipated the recommendations as to lending policies advanced by Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the R.F.C. "We have always made sound capital loans to large and small businesses to the maximum amount permitted by government regulations," Giannini declared today. "Now that we have been able to broaden our services under the new rules we are calling attention to the full program of lending services available at the Bank of America in this community."
