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 MAY 2, 1889 Supervisors Perry, Rowan, Davis and Martin arrived in town on Monday morning for the purpose of proceeding to the Santa Ana river with a delegation of citizens to locate the site of a bridge between this place and Olive. The honorable body were met at the depot by a number of the citizens of Anaheim, among whom were Supervisor Littlefield, Messrs. Davis, Cahen, Rimpau, Mitchell, Federman, Everharty, Cadman, Langenberger, Ruhman, Wood, Backs, Werner, Kuchel. The trip to Olive was begun immediately, and the river bed was inspected thoroughly, the board following up the stream for some distance. It is conceded that the construction of the bridge will be commenced in the near future. Besides doing away with the danger of crossing this treacherous stream in winter, the new bridge will prove quite a factor in bringing business this way from a section with which we have scarcely become acquainted. A bridge over the river at or near Olive has been imperative for many years and great joy will be felt by our citizens at the final favorable outcome. It has been suggested that a satisfactory location for the bridge would be at a point in the river on a line with Broadway, the extension of that thoroughfare being urged. The board re- 25 Years Ago April 23, 1914 California furnishes 20 per cent of the world's citrus production and 70 per cent of the citrus fruits grown in the United States. Los Angeles has 48,454 acres of citrus trees, Tulare 41,150 of which 30,-138 are non-bearing. Riverside 24,313, Orange 15,558 and San Bernardino 42,794. The citrus fruit industry in California represents an investment of from $150,-000,000 to $200,000,000. The residence of J. J. Vetter together with most of its contents was totally destroyed by fire which started at 6 o'clock Monday morning shortly after the stove had been started for the preparation of breakfast. The fire originated from a defective chimney. As there was no phone in the house Will Vetter mounted his wheel and sprinted for the power house to give the alarm. Both carts were on the way in remarkably short time, W. E. Duckworth hitching onto the first with his auto and J. W. Wallop following with No. 2 in tow. However, they were too late to render any assistance, the nearest fire hydrant being at the corner of Kroeger street and Broadway. There was no insurance on the house or its contents. Jake explained that for twenty years he had carried a policy but grew careless and permitted it to lapse a short time ago. F. Norman Phelps, (left) regional manager, succeeding K manager. and S. M.

The picnics left here at an early hour in a four horse coach well provided with eatables such as are to be found on such occasions. The ride to the canyon was highly enjoyed by all. The scenery along the way being very beautiful at this season of the year. At noon lunch was spread under the broad oaks, and ample justice was done the good things provided.

Lewis, Joseph Becher, Henry Strodthoff, Victor Browning, Frank Schaumberger and Charles Kuchel. Fritz Crist will shortly begin the erection of a dwelling house on Philadelphi street near his tailor shop. Fritz is sensible, good looking young man and has become tired of living alone. But we cannot say anything more in this respect, because it's a secret. Dr. Hardin's large Newfoundland dog Nebo, surnamed Brandy, attempted to stop the San Diego express on the California Central on Monday afternoon with the result that Nebo was split in twain. The doctor says that $200 would not have bought the dog. Hippolyte Caheh and family will leave shortly for a visit to the area where a factory location for the bridge would be at a point in the river on a line with Broadway, the extension of that thoroughfare being urged. The board returned to town in the evening, having during the afternoon visited the country round about Orange and put in time inspecting roads and bridges in this neighborhood. An informal banquet was tendered them in the evening and the honorable body left for their homes on the evening train. Ben Kraemer was in town on Friday from his Placentia ranch on a business visit. Ben likened the day, during which a hot desert wind was blowing, to a day in April 1877, when we experienced severe heat, and many sheep died of the excessive humidity.

However, they were too late to render any assistance, the nearest fire hydrant being at the corner of Kroeger street and Broadway. There was no insurance on the house or its contents.

By WARREN BAYLEY METEOR CRATER, Ariz.—This crater was formed more than 2,000 years ago by the impact of a giant meteorite, or more properly, the head of a small comet, which, after wandering about in the heavens for millions of years, finally approached too close to our earth and was drawn down by the force of gravity to fall at an angle from the north and strike on the then level plain where it has left this enormous scar, far larger than any other impact crater on the earth's surface. Nearly circular, the diameter at the rim is about 4,000 feet. The bottom is about 500 feet below the stone cabin on the north side, nearly 600-feet below the highest point on the rim, which rises 160 feet above the level of the outer plain, and is composed of boulders, rock and sand thrown out of the crater bowl. The elevation at the cabin is a little over a mile above sea level. Meteor Crater has been known to the Indians for many hundreds of years. They invented a legend to account for its existence, according to which it was formed by a wicked god who was cast out of the heavens and fell to earth in flames, digging the great hole and burying himself under the sands at its bottom. Fragments of meteorite which they picked up, as well as the plentiful studied the crater shortly 1900 and came to the conclusion that the main mass of therite must still lie buried vicinity; and further, that could be found and mined in constitute a large and valuable body, because of the and platinum metals contained. Barringer proceeded to this location as patented claims, and it is now owned by the Standard Iron company Philadelphia. Exploration has been conducted to a depth of 1276 feet, however, as my main body has not been leased. The location is five miles Highway 66 and 40 miles Flagstaff and 20 miles Winslow.
