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 April 18, 1869 Captain Treat, one of the best known oil men of Pennsylvania, was in town last week, and went on a tour of inspection of the oil wells in the Puente region. He was enthusiastic as to the prospects and it is probable he may set himself to aid in the development of oil in this part of the country. Burdette Chandler is also outspoken in regard to the oil that undoubtedly lies in the hills north of town. He has tried for many years to interest capitalists in the development of oil in this region and some day will no doubt surprise doubting Thomases with the magnitude of his strike. Chandler is taking out oil in great quantities and developing the new industry as best he may. The day will come, he thinks, when the towns of this valley will be lighted with natural gas. The Los Angeles Express says speaking of Anaheim: Since last November there have been many improvements in the "Solid old Town". The handsome brick St. Catherine's Academy has been completed at a cost of $15,000 or more; the handsome brick block on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets has been finished at a cost of some $8000. Conrad's two story brick brewery, 100x120 feet has nearly reached the roof, and four or five elegant residences and a dozen small cottages have 25 Years Ago April 9, 1914 Direct travel to Anaheim, via the West Chapman street bridge, was resumed Friday afternoon. Santa Ana and the Mother Colony are now connected by ya boulevard for the entire distance. Main and Chapman streets are joined together by a curve which does away with the sharp corner existing at that point before the roads were paved. Some of the choicest wines in the state are to be found in the cellars of the Boege winery. The winery has been in existence for over 40 years and its products are much sought after. T. J. F. Boege is a pioneer still enjoying good health, but the old gentleman has retired and his sons Max and Emil, conduct the business. They are representative citizens and believe in the policy of everybody attending to their own business and strive for the upbuilding of the city. Miss Winifred Melrose was hostess at an entertainment of the Four-Four club at her home on North Philadelphia street Wednesday evening. Mrs. H. Schwartz and F. A. Yungbluth won the two prizes in progressive whist.

As one local campaign chair said, "If Mr. White comes back California this summer, he find 5c fresh orange juice everywhere, and he'll get it when he orders it or not at most service club or civic group meet he attends." In Anaheim, service clubs sell orange juice at their weekly luncheon meetings, the Anaheim Muniants association has orange on the table at its breakfast meetings and the beverage is served during the general chaise of commerce meetings and other sessions. In the Upland-Ontario district a committee has brought numerous drug stores and fountains to the fresh citrus juice stand. Chaffey junior college started campaign with an orange day, and gave away during lunch hour 13½ boxes of orange juice form. Free orange juice will be served at the Chino ranch. For the first time fresh or juice is being served at the missary at March Field, due to the efforts of Al Woodill, chairman of the Riverside committee. Verside's "free orange juice March 25," attracted notice in national press, when William Len White in effigy was nailed The Grand Parlor of Native Sons convened at San Rafael on Monday. The committee on ritual made two reports upon the adoption of a new ritual, for which a prize of $500 has been offered by the Grand Parlor. The minority report favored the ritual submitted by H. C. Katz of Los Angeles, and printed in the Gazette job office. Mr. Katz's effort is worthy of adoption by the Grand Parlor, and should be so honored it will be found an excellent guide to work in the several degrees. Confirmation services were held at St. Michael's Episcopal Church on Thursday, April 4, by the Rev. Mr. Mynard, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Miller. Bishop Wingfield confirmed Mrs. Littlefield, Mrs. Van Brunt, Mrs. S. Scott, Adair Scott, Misses Emma and Mary Van Brunt, Dora Scott, Meta and Mai Polhemus and Eva Littlefield.

After services an enjoyable reception was held at the residence of Mrs. J. W. Hart.

Until the day of election on May 3rd the all absorbing question of irrigation was finished at a cost of some $8000. Conrad's two story brick brewery, 100x120 feet has nearly reached the roof, and four or five elegant residences and a dozen small cottages have been built ranging in cost from $400 to $4,000. The streets and sidewalks have also received their share of attention, and while business is extremely dull the outlook for the future is much better than it was five months ago. Miss Winifred Melrose was hostess at an entertainment of the Four-Four club at her home on North Philadelphia street Wednesday evening. Mrs. H. Schwartz and F. A. Yungbluth won the two prizes in progressive whist. Adolph Schneider has entirely recovered the sight of his left eye after the removal of a cataract and will shortly submit to an operation to remove a similar growth upon the right eye. Mr. Schneider has been night engineer at the city water works for many years but five months ago had to relinquish his duties on account of the impairment to his eyes. The annual luncheon of the Ebell society was given at Odd Fellows hall on Saturday, April 4th. The tables looked very attractive set in the form of a hollow square open at one end. The decorations were in keeping with springtide and Easter, being yellow mustard, asparagus fern and smylax. The ceiling and walls were decorated with flowers and greenery as well as the tables. A five course luncheon was served the waitresses being daughters of the club women. At each place were dainty favors in the form of a chicken standing beside half a broken egg shell. The egg shells were filled with olives and an appropriate verse was attached to each favor. After luncheon an interesting program was rendered including several violin solos by Mr. Schmidt, accompanied by Miss Pearl Sidnam, and selections on the piano by Prof. Evans of Fullerton. Mrs. A. J. Lawton of Santa Ana, who is the incoming president of the Federation of Southern California Women's clubs, gave a short talk in which she laid stress upon the watchwords of "Co-operation and Efficiency," for the club next year.

Oscar Zeyn states that one solitary vine remains in his vineyard near Fullerton. Two years ago this vineyard comprised forty acres of vines as thrifty as could be found anywhere.
