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. 2, 1888 The Gazette closes today the eighteenth year of its publication. Eighteen years ago the paper first set sail upon the journalistic sea. It is the oldest paper in Los Angeles county and with one exception—the San Diego Union, a most excellent and worthy newspaper, the oldest in Southern California. Eighteen years is a long time—a very long time. Especially lengthy is it when reference is had to the life of a newspaper. During these nights unto a score of years great conflicts have waged between men and nations. Eighteen years ago the echoes of our civil war had scarce died out, our land had hardly recovered from the shock. Anaheim was all but unknown. The Gazette has labored strenuously for the welfare of the village and now that Anaheim has grown into a thriving and vigorous city, the journal is still battling by its side. The office was once completely destroyed by fire. Perhaps a few enemies have been made, but many friends have come in the hour of need. Though eighteen years is a long time it seems only yesterday that the writer negotiated for the sale of his services as a roller-boy for the first issue of this paper. Since then we have been in many offices. We had a penchant to see the paper in this part of the sphere that was older than the Gazette, so we journeyed to San Diego, where by the lamps palm light we composed for one year the bay-and-climate editorial. There is no place like home, however, and whatever has been learned of others has been turned to good account, we take it, in this journal. With the future we deal lightly. The Gazette shall ever keep up with the procession. It enters upon its nineteenth year with renewed vigor and determination to do ever better than in the past. With the recurring years, times, alas, are too pressing to allow us to linger. Like a spirit from the other world it stays, but a moment and then flearts to the tomb. Joyous spirit, hall and farewell! Ramon Aguilar, who has been visiting friends and relatives here for several days left on Saturday for Ventura, where he will act as station agent for the Southern Pacific railroad company. For some years past he has been be in the company's service at Pomona. Ramon is a good boy and will doubtless show his employers that they have no cause to regret his promotion. Center street has been strawed from Palm toward the Southern Pacific depot. This a much needed improvement and one which travelers appreciate. At the M.E. church on next Sunday Rev. Mr. Chamberlayne will preach upon the topic, "A Great Doctor and his Remedy." Services will be held in the Entrance. 25 Years Ago Sept. 25, 1913 H. Clay Kellogg, the best poster man on the topography of Orange county now living, visited the Anaheim Board of Trade Monday night and gave that body the best fit of his experiences in handling the erratic and sometimes turbulent Santa Ana river in early days. Mr. Kellogg was surveyor for Orange county for a number of years and was frequently called upon to figure out some method of confining waters of the river to the natural channel. He related how in 1895 the river overflowed and came down through the streets of Anaheim. With a large force of men and 25 teams he began work at 4 o'clock in the morning and within a day had the flood confined to its bed. He put in brusque eucalyptus poles and rock. The supervisors appropriated $23,000 and Mr. Kellogg constructed dams and jetties by driving piles and connecting them with a new work of wire. Remnants of the old work still remain. Mr. Kellogg said the weakest point of the river's bank is about half a mile below the Olive bridge and I gave the Board some valuable points as to the best and cheapest way to protect the surrounding country. A channel 600 feet wide with parking 250 feet in width would be ample span for the river. The dams were built above Anaheim and a system of wings constructed with the proper angled protection would be afforded. The following improvements in Garden Grove are now near completion: Horace Ells and his brother, lately from Kansas, each building fine country residences. E.B.

ANAHEIM PIONEER LIQUOR STORE 5 Years Ago Sept. 25, 1913 By Kellogg, the best posted in the topography of Orange now living, visited the Board of Trade Monday and gave that body the benches experiences in handling, tactic and sometimes turbukta Ana river in early days. Kellogg was surveyor for Orion a number of years and frequently called upon to figsome method of confining lines of the river to the nat- channel. He related how the river overflowed and down through the streets of Ana. With a large force of 25 teams he began work lock in the morning and day had the flood conditions bed. He put in brushous poles and rock. The officers appropriated $23,000 by Kellogg constructed wing jetties by driving piling connecting them with a net-wire. Remnants of the lock still remain. Mr. Kellogg the weakest point of the bank is about half a mile the Olive bridge and he the Board some valuable assets to the best and cheapest protection would be afforded unless an extraordinary flood occurred. It would not be necessary for the supervisors to secure deeds to the property before establishing a river channel. The river would establish its legal right after running in the channel for five years, and supervisors have authority to determine the banks and declare a sufficient bed for the stream without securing deed. It was the duty of the supervisors to survey the channel and give its banks a legal status. At the conclusion of his talk a resolution embodying the suggestions made was presented and adopted and the supervisors requested to declare and establish north they will reside at 138 West Chartres street.
