IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Age. 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 Ploneers. 50 Years Ago March 7, 1889 The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water company met in regular session on Saturday, President Zeyn in the chair. Papers and books belonging to the Farmers Ditch company were ordered filed by the secretary. An assessment of 25 cents per share on the capital stock of the company was ordered payable on or before April 2nd. The committee on Branch ditches was ordered to inspect the claim of R. J. Northam against the company. Bids for superintendent of the company for the ensuing year were opened as follows: Thomas Brown, $65; Beazley, $75; Theo. Stal v. 0; A. Pierotti, $85; S. Tucker, 3. Ballots were ordered cast and Mr. Staley having received a majority, he was declared elected. Messrs. Knapke and Anderson were elected zanjers for the ensuing year, at a salary of $60 per month. No action was taken on the bids of Messrs. Sorenson, Anderson, Knapke and Pierotti for contract work. The secretary was authorized to advertise for bids for cleaning ditches in Anaheim and North Anaheim. Bids were ordered paid and the meeting adjourned. The following paragraph upon the price of land here twenty-five years ago, and giving incidentally a bit of local history will per- 25 Years Ago February 19, 1914 The old Dreyfus winery building, southwest of town, which for more than a quarter of a century has stood as a monument to the grape blight which devastated the vineyards of Anaheim and vicinity in 1885, will once more be a bee hive of industry and a scene of activity. It will soon be the home of an automobile tire factory and before a year passes the company promises to have a force of 500 men on the payroll. Through the instrumentality of Mr. Innis a deal has been consummated. The company has incorporated under the name of the Universal Tire company, with a capital of $5,000,000. They have purchased the building and eight acres of land from J. W. Walls and J. H. Cook, paying $35,000 for the property. Some $250,000 of machinery will be installed and Report of the Fullerton school for the month ending February 22, 1889.

The following paragraph upon the price of land here twenty-five years ago, and giving incidentally a bit of local history will perhaps be found interesting to our readers. About the close of the civil war when old Senor Sepulveda, the father of Judge Ygnacio Sepulveda, sold the San Joaquin ranch, consisting of between 50,000 and 60,000 acres to Irvine and Fliat for $27,000 in greenbacks, which were then at a very heavy discount, making the real consideration probably less than $20,000 in gold coin. These gentlemen afterwards bought a great part of the Santa Ana ranch for 62½ cents an acre. The flourishing city of Santa Ana is situated on this property, as is also the town of Orange. About this time the Messrs. Andrew G. Glassell and A. B. Chapman bought from the Yorbas another large slice of the Santa Ana ranch, for which they paid somewhere between 62½ cents and $1.50 per acre. The lands where the colony of Anaheim now stands were sold to the representative of the original colonists for $2 or $3 an acre. Let's talk about the place you spend most of your working hours, the room which is your "home office"—the kitchen. Perhaps you take your kitchen for grilling, assuming that there is one you can do about making it mo. convenient. As a matter of fact, in work and behavior Grace McDermont, Annie Holcomb, Iola Williams, Mary Heaslip, Lelia Pfeninger, Mable Howell, Meta Rorden, Mary Winter, Ida Dierksen, Nellie Callaghan, Clara Albers, Dorsle Conn, Elmer Williams, Claud Howell, Edward Brown, Frank McDermont, Daniel McCoy, Minor Keith, Horace Freeman, Henry Burdorf and Lincoln McCoy. Average number of scholars belonging 50. Average daily attendance 46. Edwin Clark, teacher. H. C. Katz of Los Angeles was in town on Sunday, accompanied by some of our native sons. He proceeded to Santa Ana for the purpose of establishing a parlor there, and returned home in the evening. Miss Amanda Rawlins of Bedford, Indiana, who is on an extended visit to California, and Mrs. R. W. Bryant of Los Angeles, an old-time Bedford resident, were visitors in Anaheim one day last week. J. B. McCullough of Placentia is a candidate for appointment as postmaster at Anaheim. Bob Northam is spoken of as a member of the Los Angeles police commission. As Bob was for a long time chief of police of Fullerton he has the makings of a creditable commissioner. D. W. C. Dimmick, an old time resident of Anaheim, was in town during the week. Captain Ferguson of San Francisco was in town last week. J. J. Dyer has a couple of seeding oranges on exhibition at Polhemus real estate office. Each orange weighs a pounds and presents a fine appearance. Louis Boltz has purchased two acres of George Betz adjoining the Fairview schoolhouse and is building a residence thereon. J. Wommer, who purchased Pigott's express business, has secured the contract for carrying the mails between the postoffice and the depot. A party of hunters consisting of Deputy Postmaster Hilmer, the Bentz brothers, Bob Hussman and others succeeded in haggling about operations will be begun by first of June. Dr. J. W. Truxaw and Dr. Kaathoven of Los Angeles formed a surgical operation under Trustee George W. Hamler Tuesday. The operation was successful and the patient is unlikely recovering at his home. The wind is never very severe in Anaheim, but on Saturday morning a puff toppled the corn and the high ornamental corn from the front of the Metropolis block on West Center street; heavy cornice and a two-strip of the long brick wall down onto the pavement with crash smashing the wooden arch and four plate glass windows in its fall. Fortunately it curred at 7 o'clock in the morning when nobody chanced to pass on the pavement. John Schumacher's bicycle was standing on the curb and when from the debris was found reduced to scrap iron. A hed and buggy had been on the also, but had driven away after seconds before the crash. Building is occupied by Joan Fares' mercantile establishment the Enterprise Millinery and Orange County Soda Works. Of these firms sustained any loss will probably reach hundreds of dollars. The wind was not severe Saturday morning and the ancient must have been tottering for fall. The committee from the Board of Trade which expected to make a delegation of Olive men at Olive bridge Wednesday for purpose of discussing protection were prevented from going the heavy rains. If this stall should continue for a day or longer the river will break through the frail defenses and innunda large portion of adjacent land is the opinion of some members that the only salvation the formation of a protection trict and they will work to end. The track team from Anaheim was defeated by the Orange Let's talk about the place you spend most of your working hours, the room which is your "home office"—the kitchen. Perhaps you take your kitchen for grilling, assuming that there is no need to do about making it more convenient. As a matter of fact, there are a number of little things you can do to increase its efficiency. Consider the lighting. Do you have a bare-bud in the ceiling that furnishes light so that you have to squint? You pare the potatoes for dinner? Replace it with a special kitchen lighting fixture that uses a 100-watt globe and screws into any socket, and watch your kitchen snarl to attention! That's a simple thing to do, but it will pay you dividends every night in tasks done faster and easier. This improvement may convince you so firmly of the benefits of good lighting that you will have your electrician install lights at the sink, over the range and at every working counter. In the modern kitchen, every working space has its own light so that the homemaker never works in her own shadow. Another way to add convenience to your kitchen is to put your small electrie cooking appliances within easy reach, and use them every day. Your waffle iron, coffee maker, grill and other electrical devices can save you time and steps, and it is to your advantage to take them off the high shelf and keep them in sight where they will be handy for use.

County Pow Wow Slated Saturday The all county pow wow which was scheduled to be held by the Boy Scouts of America last Saturday was postponed on account of weather conditions. The committee has decided to hold the event this coming Saturday, February 18, at the Valencia high school in Placentia. No changes have been made in the program but more reservations for scouts entering have been made. Notice has just been received that Emmett Pike of Fullerton has agreed to run a public address system throughout the day for the announcing of events and calling the boys to order. The pow wow is being made possible through the cooperation of the American Legion of Placentia and the chamber of commerce. Suspended Sentence Ends Assault Case Changing his plea on a charge of assault and battery from not guilty to guilty, Richard Crespin of 419 N.

Martin was flying more than a mile high. His passengers were Frank Garbutt, the noted sportsman, and Charles Broadwick. Magnus Roy has sold the east half of his ranch on South Street to W. S.
