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 Ploneers. 50 Years Ago March 14, 1889 The Orange county bill having passed the legislature, the chief interest at present centers about the election to be held June 4th, when the question of division is to be submitted to two-thirds vote of the people of the new county. If less than two-thirds of the entire list of electors vote for the formation of the new county, division is to be postponed. There is no question that Assemblyman Edwards gained many friends for his bill by the amendment leaving the question of division to be determined by the ballot box. With the purpose of ascertaining how a two-thirds vote would be brought about the vote of the new county is appended: Anaheim 216, Delhi 69, Diamond 110, El Modena 129, Fairview 92, Fullerton 87, Garden Grove 111, Laguna 23, New Hope 63, Newport 99, Orange 203, Orange depot 59, San Juan 90, Silverado 27, St. James 132, Santiago 68, Santa Ana 702; Tustin 176, Trabuco 24, Westminster 157, Yorba 36. Total 2671. Thus it will require a vote of 1,781 votes to carry the proposition. Eight hundred and ninety-one votes will defeat it. There is no reasonable possibility of the supporters of Orange county polling less than two thousand votes. On the whole, there is every assurance that sufficient votes will be polled at the election on June 25 Years Ago February 26, 1914 SANTA ANA FLOWS DOWN CENTER STREET Not since 1896 has Southern California been visited by such a storm as that which began Tuesday night and ended Saturday morning deluging the entire county and causing heavy damage in many sections. A fraction less than four inches was the precipitation in Anaheim, but Los Angeles weather men recorded 7.04 while in Pasadena, Sierra Madre and Monrovia more than 11 inches of water fell. More than 37 bridges have been washed away by the streams of the southland, and railways and highways have been damaged by washouts and traffic interrupted. All communication with Los Angeles was cut off Saturday. There was no train service and telephone and telegraph wires were broken and both services were out of commission. The damage in Orange county was slight in comparison with other sections. Twenty-five hundred acres of sugar beets near Talbert were washed out. The Santa Fe bridge near Orange was badly damaged and the approach to the Olive bridge on the opposite side of the river was carried away. For the first time in four years the overflow waters of the Santa Ana river flowed down the streets of Anaheim. A serious break in Thus it will require a vote of 1,781 votes to carry the proposition. Eight hundred and ninety-one votes will defeat it. There is no reasonable possibility of the supporters of Orange county polling less in two thousand votes. On the whole, there is every assurance that sufficient votes will be polled at the election on June 4th to consummate the provisions of the bill, and the new county, with the governor's signature attached to it, is already an assured fact. A dispatch from Sacramento states that the governor has signed the bill. The county government bill provides that counties having a population of 12,801 and under thirteen thousand shall belong and be known as counties of the fifteenth class. Orange county is of this class. The salaries of officers in counties of this class are, per annum: County clerk, $1,500; sheriff, $3,500; recorder, $1,500; auditor, $600; treasurer, $1,500; tax collector $600; assessor, $2,200; district attorney, $1,500; coroner, public administrator, $800; superintendent of schools, $800. Rain began falling yesterday morning shortly after 4 o'clock and continued steadily until noon when a slight ceation ensued in the Pluvial dispensation. At 6 o'clock last evening an inch and a half had fallen, and the indications were favorable for an all night downpour. It was raining steadily at that hour, with a warm wind blowing from the south. Total rainfall for the season 10.88 inches. Last season to date 14.88 inches. Nearly 12 inches of rain fell last season between January 1 and March 1st, while this year the conditions are somewhat reversed, as we have received but scant three inches since the first of the year. Col. E. S. Ferguson and J. W. Landell were entertained by Captain de of San Marco last Saturday. At a meeting of warriors in the evening Colonel Ferguson was promoted from the rank of captain, for brave and meritorious conduct. Colonel Messmer of Orange and Uncle Jim Layman of Santa Ana were in town on Saturday talking of the "division of county." For the first time in four years the overflow waters of the Santa Ana river flowed down the streets of Anaheim. A serious break in the river's bank just above the Olive bridge was responsible for this. The break was 300 feet in length, and through this gap the waters poured. The break occurred Saturday night and Sunday morning the territory between East street and the river was inundated and two streams of water were flowing down the gutters of Center street. These streams turned south at Olive street and flooded the gutters of Broadway. Great uneasiness was caused by the report that the Bear Valley dam, 90 miles up the river had broken and a seven-foot wave from the reservoir was coming down the river, but the dam held. Rains on the headwaters of the river were light compared with those in the coast region, less than two inches falling at San Bernardino, Riverside and Redlands. Sixteen and one-half inches of water have fallen at Anaheim this season. This is three inches above normal and is the heaviest since 1908. Mrs. Clara Rehwoldt, mother of Mrs. Otto Storm, died at the home of her daughter on Broadway Saturday morning after an illness of only a few hours. The funeral was held at St. Michael's church Monday morning. Mrs. Arthur Lewis entertained the 500 Club at her home on Broadway on Thursday afternoon. Dainty refreshments were served after the game and later the prizes were awarded. Mrs. C. F. Grim winning the first prize, a thermos bottle and Mrs. Herman Stern the second, a plaque.

The salary of Engineer Schneider was ordered paid for January. Bids for laying sidewalks on both sides of Center street were postponed for one week. Judge White came near being sent to Kingdom Come a day or two ago while trying to drive a bronco horse in a sulky. The caballo was headed for Dennis paint shop and as it came against the building halted long enough for the judge to alight and turn the horse over to other hands. Mrs. C. F.

Deputy County Clerk Joe Backs was in town from Santa Ana on Monday accompanied by his wife and little daughter. Mrs. Lionel Browning, sister of C. O. Rust, is ill at her home in Los Angeles and her recovery is doubtful. C. C. Cleveland is gathering from 350 to 380 eggs daily from a flock of white leghorn hens at his poultry yard on West Broadway. Mr. Cleveland has so far escaped from the depredations of the chicken thieves operating in this section and says he is prepared to give them a warm reception if they appear.

SAN FRANCISCO (UP) - William Allen White, famous editor who once told the world "what's the matter with Kansas," today disclosed "what's the matter with California." "The matter with California," the 70-year-old, white-haired newspaper man said, "is you don't serve enough orange juice. Tourists come to your Golden State, famous for its oranges, and they order orange juice. What happens? "First you get it in the smallest glass the hotel..."

LAMB LEG LIBERY — HAMBU STEAK Cudahy's Rex—any He voiced the tourist's natural belief that here where the fruit is grown he should get a big glass of fresh orange juice at a reasonable price. WHAT Mr. White said is all too often true. He touched a tender spot in our civic pride. Hotels and restaurants elsewhere often beat our own because they have been urged for years to serve large glasses of fresh orange juice at fair prices. Sunkist trade advertising and the Sunkist dealer service staff have done the urging successfully. The same holds true of lemonade and grapefruit juice, and of the fresh fruit itself. All of us, whether owners of groves, hotels, restaurants, soda fountains or fruit stores, know the situation. Pride should compel us to see that visitors and our large buying public have ample opportunity to indulge their appetites for oranges, lemons and grapefruit of good quality at reasonable prices. Everyone who grows citrus or benefits from its sale can do his part to build a market for the fruit sold here. All who live here can help by insisting on good fruit or a generous serving of fresh fruit juice at a reasonable price. The Exchange is launching a campaign to bring about the needed improvement.
