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 March 28, 1889 A glance at our columns today will develop the fact that the largest and most important consolidation of circuses, menageries and hippodromes that has ever been effected is to appear here April 5th. We allude to Sells Brothers' immense double circus, which during the winter vacation has been associated with S. H. Barrett's Universal Menagarie, two ring circus, Racing Carnival and Great World's Fair. A parade without a parallel. In gleaming glamour and impressive spectacle, grandeur presenting sumptuous scenes, thrilling surprises and gorgeous effects never before witnessed on the public streets. The children's dream of fairyland, a delightful episode of the magnificent free street pageant. On the 22nd day March 1864, there occurred in the quiet little city of Philadelphia an event of considerable importance to the parties interested. Child's Ledger of the day succeeding the date above given contained a notice reading like this: MARRIED Landell-Moore—At the residence of the bride's parents, March 22d, James W. Landell to Miss Sallie Moore, both of Philadelphia. The fact that last Friday was the twenty-fourth anniversary of that 25 Years Ago March 12, 1914 Initial steps toward the formation of a protection district were taken at the mass meeting assembled at the Fremont school auditorium Friday night by the unanimous adoption of a resolution endorsing the project and the appointment of a committee of 12 to define the boundary lines and perfect the plans. More than one hundred persons were present. S. C. Hartranft was elected chairman and E. N. Cook secretary. T. B. Talbert chairman of the board of supervisors was the first speaker. J. W. Duckworth made a few brief remarks and Ex-County Surveyor H. Clay Kellogg gave a brief history of the Santa Ana river during the past thirty years. He told how a few men had stopped a break in the river above Anaheim during the memorable flood of 1899. Few people, he said, perhaps know that the intersection of Los Angeles and Center streets is seven feet lower than the bank of the river. If you would plant one prong of a compass at the Olive bridge and draw a circle passing through that intersection, the lowest point within the circle would be just above Orangethorpe avenue. The Fullerton depot is six inches lower than the Center and Los Angeles street crossing. County Surveyor McBride followed Mr. Kellogg and D. Jesserun, Supervisor Schuacher and others smoke in favor. Quite contrary to popular belief held by those who do not own have had no personal experience with one, the modern electric range is by no means the high priced luxury it has been picture says H. R. Fox, Anaheim deals for the line of electric ranges developed by the Frigidaire division of General Motors, which enter the range field last year with the announced policy of producing very finest products in the field of electric cookery with a line popular prices. As an example of accomplishments in this direction, Fox cites his company's new 1939 electric range model B-20 which provides most of the cherished convenience and luxuries associated with a MARRIED Landell-Moore—At the residence of the bride's parents, March 22d, James W. Landell to Missile Moore, both of Philadelphia. The fact that last Friday was the twenty-fourth anniversary of that event becoming known to a few of Mr. and Mrs. Landell's friends, they invaded the domicile of those popular people at Centralia in the evening and tendered the warmest congratulations and good wishes. The subsequent proceedings followed the lines in such cases made and provided, and several of the party were heard subsequently to declare that a ride from Centralia to Anaheim between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning is an experience they would like to repeat offender than they get a chance to do. The Gazette desires to be numbered among those who hope that there will be such a celebration in the Landell household for at least twenty-four years longer. The following marriage notice is taken from the San Francisco Call of Tuesday. "The marriage of Christopher J. Meyerholz and Miss A. M. Derrick was solemnized in this city last Monday by Rev. Dr. Spalding. The groom is a resident of Santa Clara. The bride lived in Vallejo for many years." The groom is a brother of Mrs. H. Cahen and is well known to our citizens, he having lived here with his family for many years. Don David Yorba's peach and pear trees are now in bloom. The contrasting tints of the pink and white blossoms, together with the picturesqueness of location make the orchard a lovely sight. The trees nestle in a small valley north of the town of Yorba, totally walled in by the hills and concealed from view until one comes upon them. There will be a donation supper at the Methodist church tomorrow evening for the benefit of the building fund. The proceeds will be used for the erection of a new steeple. Everybody invited—D. O. Chambre, pastor. Center streets is seven feet lower than the bank of the river. If you would plant one prong of a compass at the Olive bridge and draw a circle passing through that intersection, the lowest point within the circle would be just above Orangethorpe avenue. The Fullerton depot is six inches lower than the Center and Los Angeles street crossing. County Surveyor McBride followed Mr. Kellogg and D. Jessurun, Supervisor Schumacher and others spoke in favor of immediate protection. The following were appointed by Chairman Hartranft on the committee of 12: E. A. Day, J. W. Duckworth, W. M.

Gus Strodthoff, field superintendent of the Los Alamitos sugar factory was in town on Tuesday, and reported the beet crop in the West Country making splendid growth. The factory has signed 12,000 acres of beets this year. Fourteen inches of rain has fallen and the crop promises the best returns in years. The price paid by the factory is $4.50 per ton for 15 per cent beets, which is 75 cents less than last year. E. C. Hamilton has succeeded W. H. Lawrence as superintendent of the mill. W. T. Wallop has purchased the Chris-Kemper ranch southwest of Anaheim, paying therefore $12,-000. The tract consists of 10 acres and is set to young trees—both orange and lemon. As an example of accomplishments in this direction, Fox city his company's new 1939 electric range model B-20 which provides most of the cherished convenience and luxuries associated with an electric cooking and baking at a price that is well within the scope of the older, more conventional products.
