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 Oranu county in the Days of the Pioneers. 5 Years Ago Dec. 20, 1888 Among the bills to be introduced in the legislature early next month will be one by Assemblyman Edwards of Santa Ana for the division of the county. The division line will be placed at Coyote creek, beginning at the ocean near Long Beach, and extending to within a few miles of Pomona. The proposed new county will contain the towns of Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana, Orange, Tustin, Westminster, Garden Grove, Fairview, Norwalk, Wilmington, El Modena, and the various towns in the southern part of the county. The population of these places is set down at 11,000. If the bill had for its purpose the establishing of the county seat at Santa Ana, the boundary line could not have been arranged with more effect. Less than one fourth of the present county is segregated by this ridiculous dividing line. This is because another division of the county is contemplated. Pomona being the other seeker for the emoluments of a county seat. Had the line been placed at New River there might have been some semblance to the purpose of the bill, which we are told is to be introduced because the present county is too large. If the county is large enough to divide at all, there is no necessity for placing the line of division anywhere but at New River. This would give us a larger population, make taxation easier, and give the new county more weight in the deliberations of the legislature. However, there is no danger of division at this time. Los Angeles has denied it for twenty years. 25 Years Ago An afternoon furnishing pleasure to both little and big was given by the Ebell society at their regular meeting Saturday at Odd Fellows hall. Miss Lois Dyer at the piano delighted her audience with several numbers which called forth well deserved applause. The hall was then darkened and an hour with "Mother Goose" showed the children in character pieces from this beloved story book. A framed cabinet was prepared with reflectors inside to light up the figures. "Mother Goose" with her broom was in the scene. The cast of characters were: Mother Goose, Edith Redit; Little Miss Muffet, Annabelle Griggs; Mistress Mary, Quite Contrary; Mary Lucile Parker and Stanley Falkenstein; Where are You Going My Pretty Maid, Catherine Adams, Tommy Kemp; Ding Dong Bell, Pussy's in the Well, Dorothy Schulz, Fritizie Hermann, Joseph Carroll, Louisa Rinker, Bertha Bennerscheidt, Georgia Marion, Julius Newman. Teacher, Mary E. Baker.

New telegraph poles are being placed on Center street from Los Angeles to the Southern Pacific depot by the Western Union company.

The Queen of Hearts who made some Tarts and the Knave wished stole the tarts, Gertrude Griggs and Jacob Hartfield; Babes in Woods, Martha Adams and Tom Kuchel. Following this charming litle scene "The Stork's Birthday" written by Mrs. Harry Dyer was cited by Mary Lucile Parker. "Christmas Day in the Morning" was then given by Fay Keen. This young lady shows dramatic ability. Another pix selection by Miss Lois Dyer closes the program, when Mother Good assisted by several other characters presented candy stockings in the children. It was all in all of the most enjoyable afternoon of the Ebell year. Mr. and Mrs. Welborn Walt entertained the "Four Four" crowd at their home Wednesday evening. Delicious refreshments were served and a very pleasant evening was spent at the game of whist. Mr. Ames won the ladies' prize, a pack of silk stockings and Welb Wallop won the gentleman's prize in a box of cigars. Mrs. John W. Hart was in town from Los Angeles one day week attending to her business terests here. Mrs. Hart is owner of a tract of eight acres on No Los Angeles street, in front which paving has lately been done. She and Mr. Hart are own templating a trip around the wa early next year. Percy Swope, a high school brother of Claude and Leo Swope, was seriously injured during the school grounds on Friday while helping to move a grand stair One of the wheels slipped and over Swope's foot and leg as if the A bone was broken and tendons injured. He was en home and placed under the roof of Dr. Truxaw who found told is to be introduced because the present county is too large.

This would give us a larger population, make taxation easier, and give the new county more weight in the deliberations of the legislature. However, there is no danger of division at this time. Los Angeles has denied it for twenty years. F. Town and then another had for division but the county seat would not have it so. The time for the division will come when the city of Los Angeles becomes ready to change itself into a city and county government, the balance of the county will be enabled to set up in business or themselves. We cannot allow the county to be divided at the Coyote creek. At the monthly meeting of Anaheim lodge F. & A. M. held on Monday evening, the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: P. Davis, W. M. (re-elected); W. Crowther, S. W. (re-elected); I. F. Krebs, J. W.; Wm. Higgins, treasurer; J. S. Gardiner, secretary. After the election of officers a lunch was spread to which the assemblage did full justice. Dr. Bullard's thoroughbred determined to enliven things on Tuesday afternoon, and charged down Center street and through the neighborhood at breakneck speed, dragging the buggy, minus the doctor after him. He finally brought up in front of the doctor's residence and waited complacently for the doctor's arrival. Pupils who have earned above 95 per cent in scholarship and deportment during month ending November 30 in the Fairview school: Carrie Kellogg, Lena Snodgrass, Stella Marion, Major New telegraph poles are being placed on Center street from Los Angeles to the Southern Pacific depot by the Western Union company.

He is a musical composer of reputation and is a thoroughly deserving gentleman. The evening entertainment to be given by the Cheerful Workers on the evening of the 25th promises to be a grand affair. A Christmas tree will be one of the features of the evening besides an oyster supper which will be unsurpassable. The young ladies composing the society are untiring in their efforts to make the occasion one long to be remembered. Gustave Zeyn, for some time past a student at the California Medical college, is home again on a short visit to relatives and friends. Charles Hilmer, Jr., left Saturday for Bed Rock, A. T., where he will be station agent for the Southern Pacific company. Sheldon and Frank Littlefield, sons of our worthy townsman, S. Littlefield, are home for the holidays from the San Mateo college. There will be a Christmas concert and tree at the Methodist church on Christmas eve.—Rev. D. O. Chamberlayne, pastor. The barometer last evening indicated rain. Nearly an inch of rain has fallen during the week. It's too soon for Santa Claus - you're only Grandpa!" "It's too soon for Santa Claus—you're only Grandpa!" It's hard to fool the younger generation about a voice on the telephone. The servir voices are too natural. The ceaseless work, years, of thousands of Bell Telephone Laborators scientists and engineers and their assistants has borne results. The precision equipment turned out by Western Electric is made to serve truly and well. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TELEPHONE COMPANY Business Office 217 N.
