IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From File of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Centurion Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print in the Dally Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange county in the Days of the Pioneers. 50 Years Ago March 21, 1889 The Board of City Trustees met in regular session yesterday afternoon. Bills were allowed. Superintendent of streets reported that the Southern Pacific company were now moving their tracks and switches to allow the opening of Broadway west, and to go further a certain piece of property owned by Tim Boege would be necessarily purchased Committee of Public Improvements was instructed to see Boege in regard to same. The motion to reject bids for the erection of a tank frame was re-considered and the contract was awarded to H. P. Larsen. Permission was granted D. B. Gray to keep a saloon in the place formerly occupied by E. Moote & Co. Adjourned. Water flowed in torrents in the Santa Ana river on Sunday, and considerable repairing was found to be necessary to the approaches of the railroad bridges. Prophets are predicting an abundant supply of water in the river during the summer, on account of the recent heavy rains and snows in the mountains. The violent rainstorm which began last week subsided on Sunday night after several sharp downpours. The storm was the severest ever experienced here, the rain being accompanied by considerable thunder and lightening. The ground has received a "good soaking" and crops are all right. This season will undoubtedly be one of the most fa- 25 Years Ago March 5, 1914 Mass Meeting to Discuss River Stimulated by the appalling nearness this and the surrounding towns and ranches came to serious damage or perhaps disaster, steps are being taken toward preventing a recurrence of the overflow. The spectacle of the Santa Ana river flowing down Center street and Broadway and other thoroughfares with hundreds of acres of ranch land inundated, has aroused the people to action. There is now a unanimous sentiment in favor of doing something and doing it without delay. The board of trade river protection committee which is composed of J. F. Ahlborn, G. L. Deitrich, E. A. Day, L. Dahlman and W. L. Wellman has called a mass meeting at Fremont school March 6 to consider ways and means of protecting this community from overflow. The board of supervisors will attend and speeches by H. Clay Kellogg, Tom Talbert and J. L. McBride and others are scheduled. Nominations are all in for the city election to be held on April 13. Two full tickets are in the field, all candidates being placed on the ballot through petition. One ticket which might be called the administration ticket, as the policy of the candidates is the policy pursued by the present board to continue the licensing of liquor houses is as follows: For trustees Geo. W. Hamler, John Brunworth, Julius J. Schneider. For city clerk, Edwin B. Merritt. For treasurer, Edgar J. Hartung. Harry Damarel, Chairmanization Committee and C. C. Trowers Exchange, apparently Sale, March 2-12. Teague was sales drives several years ago. Over 20,000 copies of the display material and suggested mailed to the trade. Orange County Many Springs With the termination of 28th year of scouting through the United States and the rinse in of a new scout year, I have been made by the Or County council under the leadership of M. B. Wellington of S The violent rainstorm which began last week subsided on Sunday night after several sharp downpours. The storm was the severest ever experienced here, the rain being accompanied by considerable thunder and lightening. The ground has received a "good soaking" and crops are all right. This season will undoubtedly be one of the most favorable which we have had for a long term of years. The storm's precipitation amounted to 5.33 inches. Total for the season is 15.77. Last season to date 14.91. The phenomenal rains of last year have thus been exceeded by nearly an inch. At Placentia the rains were heavier, as over eight inches of rain are claimed for the storm. The College of the Dominican Sisters on Palm street, which is rapidly nearing completion, will be opened on March 25th, when the first term of school begins. The deduction will occur on Tuesday, time eight sisters from Dominican school at San Francisco will be present. It is the intention to conduct a boarding and day school, where all studies will be taught, including the higher branches, chemistry, astronomy, music and cooking will also be taught. On Tuesday Sister Fla, accompanied by four sisters, who with the sisters already here, will constitute the faculty, arrived with five young ladies from San Francisco, who come as students of the college. The college at Anaheim is the only school beside that in San Francisco under control of the Dominican Sisters in California. It is a large three story brick building and basement with slate roof. The grounds will be elegantly laid out with trees, flowers and shrubbery. The design of the building was by Gustav Behrend of San Francisco and the construction as under control of Charlie Schindler of Anaheim. There no doubt that the school will be a success. Already a number of families in town have signified their intention of sending their children to the college. The college is a standing advertisement of Anaheim and should be aided by our citizens to the full extent of their power. It is to be hoped that the sisters shall have Two full tickets are in the field, all candidates being placed on the ballot through petition. One ticket which might be called the administration ticket, as the policy of the candidates is the policy pursued by the present board to continue the licensing of liquor houses is as follows: For trustees Geo. W. Hamler, John Brunworth, Julius J. Schneider. For city clerk, Edwin B. Merritt. For treasurer, Edgar J. Hartung. The candidates of the prohibition forces were nominated at a mass meeting at the Christian church Saturday evening. They are F. T. Edmiston, D. Gervais, W. T. Allen. For city clerk, M. E. Beebe. For treasurer, Chas. A. Boebe. Mayor Nebelung refused to permit the use of his name again and Trustee Gates was not a candidate for re-election. The two holdovers are Wm. Stark and Jr. H. Cook. The Arnold cigar factory is one of the fixtures of this city and it is constantly manufacturing a high grade of perfectos. Frank Arnold, who is manager of the factory, reports business good, and steadily increasing. He makes a specialty of the Eagle, Shoe-Peg, and Cuban Planter, all of which find a ready sale on the markets of Orange county. The S. Q. R. Store has engaged J. W. Neiman as manager of the clothing department. Mr. Neiman has had experience in some of Chicago's big establishments. Mrs. Welborn Wallcp, of the Anaheim school board, attended the meeting of the Orange county school trustees last Thursday. M. Crespin has disposed of his lunch counter on Los Angeles street to Alex Morales. Mr. Crespin expects to open a Spanish restaurant in Placentia. Esperante Brothers' show is the title of the aggregation which on Monday pitched its tents on the lots east of the Central school building. The show came unheralded as no gaudy posters blazed its way. It is Mexican from the highest to the lowest. Mr. and Mrs. Elton Goble visited in San Bernardino last week and viewed the closing of the orange show in that city. They were building was by Gustav Behrend of San Francisco and the construction as under control of Charlie Schindler of Anaheim. There no doubt that the school will be a success. Already a number of families in town have signified their intention of sending their children to the college. The college is a standing advertisement of Anaheim and should be aided by our citizens to the full extent of their power. It is to be hoped that the sisters shall have no cause to regret their selection of our city as the scene of their operations and that the college may wield the same power for good as the Dominican college in San Francisco which has a reputation second to no institution of learning on the Pacific coast. The constitutionality of the new Los Angeles city charter, passed by the legislature, is to be tested in the courts. J. Marion Brooks has obtained a writ from the supreme court restraining Assessor John Fischer from assessing property under the new charter. Some doubt exists as to whether the manner of passing the charter was correct. At the meeting of Invincible Parlor, N. S. G. W., on Monday evening, Oscar Luedke was elected delegate to the Grand Parlor, which meets next month at San Rafael. C. C. Seeley, who owned the first stage line between Anaheim and San Diego, some twenty years ago was in town last week. Esperante Brothers' show is the title of the aggregation which on Monday pitched its tents on the lots east of the Central school building. The show came unheralded as no gaudy posters blazed its way. It is Mexican from the highest to the lowest. Mr. and Mrs. Elton Goble visited in San Bernardino last week and viewed the closing of the orange show in that city. They were guests of the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Webster. A fine new cash register has been installed by the Fischer Wine company. The old one which was equipped with only one drawer grew too small to hold the daily receipts. Consequently the firm purchased one with four drawers. Opening of spring and summer millinery. Pattern hats, dress and tailored hats on display at the Enterprise Millinery, 215 W. Center street. Opening Friday and Saturday, March 6 and 7. Installation of officers of Anaheim Lodge No. 207, F. and A. M., was held in Temple hall Friday evening. The officers who will serve during the ensuing year are worthy master, Chas. Eygabroad; senior warden, M. W. Martenet; junior warden, T. L. Hoag; senior deacon, E. R. Abbey; junior deacon, G. W. Slbop; senior steward, C. E. Chamberlain; junior steward, E. L. Goodrich; marshal, H. M. Adams; tyler, J. H. Enearl; chaplain, Rev. D. Todd Gilmor. Sponsors of National Citrus Sales Harry Damerel, Chairman of the California Orange Growers Stabilization Committee and C. C. Teague, President of the California Fruit Exchange, apparently approve plans for the 3rd National Citrus March 2-12. Teague was instrumental in originating these national drives several years ago. Over 20,000 copies of the sales manual shown, which offered free play material and suggested many ways to sell more citrus, were used to the trade. Orange County Boy Scouts Plan Many Spring and Summer Events With the termination of the year of scouting throughout United States and the ringing of a new scout year, plans been made by the Orange City council under the leadership of M.

At this time also arrangements will be made for the senior scouts' part in County to Probe For Tuberculosis As part of its state wide tuberculosis control program the tuberculosis division of the state department of health is loaning its X-ray truck and technician to the Orange county health department for the next few weeks. Arrangements have also been made to have Dr. Waldo Wehrly of Santa Ana act as examining physician, and Orange county health department nurses are helping at the clinics. The community clinics are being held in selected areas where in the past tuberculosis has been shown to be a problem, and it is hoped that whole families, particularly where there has been possible exposure to tuberculosis, will be examined as a family unit. In order to make this possible, many of the examining clinics are being held in the evening.
