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 April 4, 1889 Oil prospecting still continues in the hills north of Fullerton, and most favorable reports are had from several locations. The Chandler wells are producing large quantities of oil and several new wells are to be sunk as soon as machinery can be procured to work them. It is reported that J. des Granges has struck large flow of oil on his ranch while boring for an artesian well. If this is true, then it is an assured fact that oil can be obtained at most any point along the foot hills. Mr. Bailey says if the Chandler wells prove satisfactory he will put down a deep well on the Olinda ranch. Lucy and Rowland are making preparations to sink several wells in the Brea canyon and they are negotiating for a location for an oil refinery in Fullerton. Col. Walker of the St. George hotel, is an old time oil man from Pennsylvania and he is confident there is plenty of oil in the hill adjacent to Fullerton. C. L. Linnis, principal, and the Misses With Clothier, Mary M. Baker, Ellen M. Meade, Kate Power, and Jennie Burton of the public schools are in attendance upon the teachers institute in Los Angeles. Edwin Clark of the Fullerton school, S. S. Wood of Orangehorpe and J. P. Greeley and Miss Libbie Mosher of Placentia 25 Years Ago March 19, 1914 Formation of a protection district against the overflow waters of the turbulent Santa Ana river was abandoned at the mass meeting held at the board of trade rooms Monday night with a promptness that reminded one of the day two years ago when the same proposition under consideration by the board of supervisors was squelched by an opposing force of more than 1200 protestants. The committee appointed at the mass meeting held on March 6th presented a lengthy report which acted as a wet blanket on those present favoring the district, as it was apparent from the tenor of its tone that the cause was lost. J. C. Nichols, formerly sheriff of Orange county, now a well-to-do resident of Los Angeles was in town on Friday looking up a reality deal of West Center street property. He was for many years sheriff of this county and was recognized as one of the best peace officers in the state Nichols left for Los Angeles seven years ago and made investments in real estate. He has prospered and is now wealthy. The Orange County Rural Mail Carriers association met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Hedges Friday evening. The elec- By WARREN BAYLEY MT.

Located about 115 miles south of Los Angeles on the inland shore to San Diego, this site was erected over all others after year scientific tests. Nowhere in United States can the stars be so well as on this 600 acre which is 5600 feet above sea level. That, no doubt, was the objective of all the tests.
