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 1889 The construction of the bridge across the Santa Ana river at Olive will bring a large territory into closer business relations with us. A bridge across the river at that point has been agitated by our citizens for many years, and the dangerous currents should have been given attention long before this. During the winter the stream is at times impossible to fork and many narrow escapes have been the result where a crossing has been attempted. In summer the long stretch of sand has proved a deterrent to people who otherwise would have come to Anaheim to trade. Now that a substantial bridge is to be constructed travel will be immeasurably increased and our business men will reap the benefit from contiguous territory, hither distant, which they so richly deserve. Mr. Littlefield has earned the gratitude of our citizens by his uniform good work while a member of the board of supervisors, but in nothing has he shown his influence and worth more successfully than in the present instance. John Everharty has bought the interest of N. H. Mitchell in the Fashion Livery Stables, and will hereafter conduct the same. Mr. Everharty is an experienced liveryman. 25 Years Ago MAY 21, 1914 The Anaheim City hall will shortly undergo a complete transformation and will be made to conform to the increasing necessities for space by the city officials. The trustees last Thursday night purchased the adjoining building owned by Napoleon Hart and occupied by W. E. Duckworth. This building will probably be razed and the materials used in construction work on the new building. The present city hall is to be overhauled and a building large enough to accommodate all the city officials with office space and furnish quarters for the fire department will be constructed. The present city hall long ago became too small for the needs of the city officials and the trustees now contemplate erecting a building that will be amply large for years to come. The corner lot, with the building thereon cost the city $8,500, but the cost of remodeling has not yet been estimated. When completed Anaheim will have a city hall, not only commodious and convenient, but one that the citizens can point to with pride. Some of the vacant lots owned by the city will be sold to help pay for construction of the new building. Thirty-two pupils of the Anaheim union high school will finish their course in that institute of Old-time residents of Anaheim and vicinity who read the Angeles Times were interested in the feature "Nuestro Pueblo last Friday because the area centered around the late Frances E. Bullard, a former known resident of this city, those who did not see the art The Gazette reprints it today. "To most persons a cactus something which film comes sit down on to create a laugh." But to the late Mrs. France Bullard a cactus of any variety was something to be fostered in the tenderest of care. All her Mrs. Bullard was a lover of it. "As a result there is a C Park in Beverly Hills which is believed to be the only city-owned park in the world devoted clusively to cacti." "In the park, located on S Monica Blvd., there is a boulder which bears a plaque honoring Mrs. Bullard." "The plants were moved to park from Mrs. Bullard's façade garden at 1074 Kensin road after her death in 1932 delicate were some of them had to be wrapped in cloth before they could be moved." Mrs. Bullard was the daunt of Theodore A. Schmidt, one of founders of Anaheim. She be interested in cacti while a during the Civil War day Anaheim. She never lost interest.

The census of school children in this district has been completed by F. C. Smythe. There are 543 children between the ages of 5 and 17 years, 363 of whom attended school during the year. There are 163 children under 5 years, a total of 706, and an increase over last year of 266. The Misses Zeyn entertained a select company of their friends at a progressive euchre party at their residence on Monday evening. Four tables of the same so much in fashion served to pass the evening pleasantly, the frantic efforts of some to keep away from the booby table, exciting no little amusement. At 11 the company sat down to a dainty repast, after which the game was resumed. Miss Emma Schneider was awarded the first prize; an elegant affair in ribbons, lace and blotters. Frank Schaumberger received the booby prize, and as he is charged with having "passed" no less than three "lone hands," a birch rod plaster should have been his portion. There were present the Misses Dora and Minnie Zeyn, Miss Lute Bailey, the Misses Emma and Louisa Schneider, Miss Meta Polhemus of Miraflores, Miss Dora Scott, Miss Elizabeth Kuchel, and Messrs. Adolph, Thomas, Henry Strodthoff, Julius Schneider, F. U. Schmberger, Lloyd Bailey, Joseph Bruner, Charles Kuchel.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH The subject of the Lesson man is "Soul and Body" on day in all Churches of Christian Science. These words of Prophet Isaiah constitute Golden Text: "If thou draw thy soul to the hungry, and se thief the afflicted soul; then shall darkness be as the noon day." A Scriptural citation in the son-Sermon includes these words from Matthew: "And when I was entered into Capern there came unto him, And sa Lord, my servant lieth at sick of the palsy, grievously mented. And Jesus saith him, I will come and heal The centurion answered and Lord, I am not worthy that shouldest come under my roof speak the word only, and my ant shall be healed." And said unto the centurion, Go way; and as thou hast believbe be it done unto them. An servant was healed in the same hour." One of the passages fromience and Health with Key Scriptures" by Mary Baker includes the statements: "We not deny that Life is self-suited, and we should never der everlasting harmony of Souls ply because, to the mortal s there is seeming discord. It ignorance of God,the divine ciple which produces appscord,and the right undersing of Him restores harmonice." "Now faith is the substan things hoped for,the eviden things not seen."—Hebrew I "Faith is the subtle chain Which binds us to the infinitive Of a deep life within,the remain Until we crowd it thence."—Elizabeth Oakes Mr. Collins of the Earl Fruit company informs us that the orange crop has nearly all been gathered in this session.

Bullard, a former well-resident of this city. For her, who did not see the article, Gazette reprints it today. To most persons a cactus is something which film comedians down on to create a laugh. Out to the late Mrs. Frances E. Bullard, a cactus of any variety something to be fostered with tenderest of care. All her life Bullard was a lover of cacti.

On the park, located on Santa Clica Blvd., there is a huge under which bears a plaque during Mrs. Bullard. The plants were moved to the farm from Mrs. Bullard's famous garden at 1074 Kensington after her death in 1932. So state were some of the cacti had to be wrapped in cotton where they could be moved. Mrs. Bullard was the daughter Theodore A. Schmidt, one of the leaders of Anaheim. She became interested in cacti while a child living the Civil War days in Anaheim. She never lost that interest. It was her wish that after her death, her beloved cacti be precluded to the city of Beverly Hills, which carried out by her son, Sarah. By WARREN BAYLEY ZION NATIONAL PARK, UTAH — This sudden shift in location was brought about by a sudden shift in the temperature. Summer has arrived in the south and when the thermometer soars above the 100 mark you begin to think of the north and its less distressing heat. The drive up here takes you through much of the territory that was known as Utah's Dixie. Of this territory, St. George was the center, and the first Mormon temple to be completed was located there. The main temple in Salt Lake City was started first, but owing to its size was not completed for some time after the one at St. George. The migration of the Mormons from Nauvoo, Illinois, began in 1847. The story of their hardships and perseverance has been told and retold, yet even today one marvels at their complete conquest of this once desert country. Too much credit can never be given them for their accomplishments. Within a few years after the establishment of Salt Lake City, parties were sent out to colonize southern Utah. In 1861 the war between the states began and that, of course, cut off the supply of cotton from the north. Because of its warm climate the lower Virgin River valley became known and the tremendous amount of publicity they have received, Zion park has never received the attention it deserves. I talked with several people who almost passed it by, visiting it only because they were in its vicinity. Every one of them came away saying—"I wouldn't have missed it for the world!" Last year there were 150,000 visitors through the park and unless I am, mistaken; this section of Utah will become one of the most popular in the west. The canyon is about 6½ miles in length and is surrounded by walls of solid rock that rise thousands of feet from the valley floor. The formations of these cliffs together with the fertile valley and the Virgin river tumbling on its way, makes it a sight to be long remembered. Make it a "MUST SEE" on your list! This travelogue is provided weekly for The Gazette through the cooperation and sponsorship of Dr. G. A. Neth, chiropractor with offices at 110 North Resh street, Anaheim. New Highway is Nearly Complete The new highway from Orange to Santa Ana canyon will be open- Anaheim philatelists won share of prizes awarded at the Orange County Philatelic society, held here last week.

Lindley, resident engineer of the state highway department. No formal opening ceremonies are planned. The new route will save considerable distance now required in circling through Olive to join Glassell street and will eliminate four sharp right angle turns in the canyon road. Work on the $44,000 project, which was started shortly after January 1, is being completed nearly a week ahead of schedule. Anaheim Man Hurt in Accident Friday Herman Hoch, Rt. 3, Box 122, Anaheim, suffered slight injuries in an automobile accident at Santa Ana last Friday evening.

Finding the Market for Citrus Fruits It means reaching all the people—a task too big for any one method of selling To move our heavy crops we must get our fruit to every person who will pay a fair price for it. We must use every possible means market is concentrated, and competitive bidding raises the price to the highest level at which the necessary volume will move. The Fed- It means reaching all the people—a task too big for any one method of selling To move our heavy crops we must get our fruit to every person who will pay a fair price for it. We must use every possible means of selling. No one method is comprehensive enough for the whole crop. The Exchange sells f.o.b. California, delivered at private sale, and delivered at auction. F. O. B. selling capitalizes our local demand and is used to the safe limit. Its exclusive use brought near-disaster 45 years ago. "Smarting under rebates, or discounts, on rejected fruit," said late-president A. H. Naftzger, "the Exchange in 1895 put into use the 'selling delivered' method." Private Sale is used in over 700 carlot markets. Where the number of buyers is limited, it gives the most favorable volume and price. Auctions are used in 10 great centers. The entire demand of the market is concentrated, and competitive bidding raises the price to the highest level at which the necessary volume will move. The Federal Trade Commission (Agricultural Income Inquiry) says it appears that the auction "disposes of large quantities of fruit quickly and with competitive forces given more effect than is generally possible at private sale." Having free choice of these methods, some Exchange associations find it advantageous to auction 75% of their fruit. Others favor private sale or f.o.b. We cannot revise the entire distribution system. But we can make the most of the existing one. And that is exactly what the Exchange does. It uses all of the system—and more effectively than any other fruit-marketing organization. Adapted from "10 Talks on Citrus Marketing." by C.C. Teague.
